Chapter 80: The New King

Looking at the obscene man standing in front of him, He Guan couldn't help but feel strange, what is this kid Xu Wei doing? Can such a person be paid as a soldier? After thinking about it, I also felt embarrassed for him, the treatment given by the court was too low, if it weren't for the reward for the ranking, I am afraid that even such a person would not be able to be recruited.

"Are you Xu Jiu's subordinate? Where is your village camp now? How did you get to Tokyo again? He Guan asked.

The other party took out a letter from his arms and smacked his tongue: "The villain is Li Guan, the head of Commander Xu's command, who was ordered to come to Tokyo to ask to see the captain." If it weren't for the help of Privy Zhang, I would have almost not been able to get in! ”

"I'm asking you!" He Guan frowned.

Li Guan was excited, and hurriedly put the belief with both hands: "Our department encountered a battle with the Jurchens, and now we have turned westward to find a division of the Ministry of Seed Shaobao." The villain was commanded by the military order, and there is a letter here, please take a look at it. ”

He Guan took the letter and said with concern: "Oh? Encounter with the Jin Army? How's the battle going? ”

Li Guan reported the battle situation in detail to He Guan, who was surprised to hear it. Xu Wei's Xiangyong battalion actually annihilated more than a thousand Jin troops? Are you sure it's more than a thousand gold troops? No misrepresentation? Li Guan repeatedly assured that there was no false evidence from the enemy's head. He Guan was overjoyed, opened Xu Wei's letter and read it.

In the letter, Xu Wei did not mention his military exploits in a single word, but suggested that He Guan would definitely threaten Tokyo, but at present, hundreds of thousands of Qin Wang's troops had gathered outside the capital. The Jin army will inevitably not come to attack, and most of them will put forward peace conditions to force the imperial court to accept. But the Jin army's food and grass have been insufficient, after he met with the planter, the Jin army did not know the truth, as long as he gritted his teeth and held on for a while, the enemy would undoubtedly retreat.

He Guan read the letter and sighed. It's rare for this kid to be so attentive, but it's a pity that you are bleeding and sacrificing in the front, and you are doing some things in the back to tear down the platform and stab sticks. The official family was stunned, and actually sent Guo Yaoshi to envoy Jinying, but there has been no news from that guy so far, I am afraid that I am only afraid of ......

"You go back and tell Xu Jiu that you must not fight hard with the enemy. I'll find a way to support him. He Guan got up, took the sword and tied it around his waist, and said loudly. Li Guan took the order and left, and He Guan was just about to go out. The report came from outside again, and Li Gang, who was too often Shaoqing, asked to see him. Li Gang? What is he doing at this juncture?

At the end of the seventh year of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty, as the center of the supreme power of the country, the inner court of Bianjing was shrouded in an atmosphere of surrender and escape. The important ministers of the DPRK and China, including several prime ministers, suggested that the official family stay in charge of the prince and flee south to the Jianghuai region. However, the loyal and upright ministers led by Li Gang and others risked their lives to admonish, and Zhao Ji was in a dilemma and could not advance or retreat.

And at this moment, the last straw that crushed this Daojun Emperor finally appeared. After Guo Yaoshi sent an envoy to Jinying, he did not convey the intention of the Song court to sue for peace to the second prince of Jin. But he was ambitious at this time, and he had no intention of negotiating peace. Besides, Guo Yaoshi was a Liao general at the beginning, he fought against the Jurchens, and later surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty, and once again became an enemy of the Jurchens, and now he dares to come as an envoy, are you not good for me to be the Jurchen war knife? If you are not angry, you will have to come to a sacrifice flag.

Guo Yaoshi was also a little bold, and in the face of the bright scimitar, he was as steady as Mount Tai, and only said "If the prince takes the head of the pharmacist, it will be tantamount to self-inflicting 100,000 male soldiers", and forced the second prince of Jin Guo to put down the butcher's knife and ask the reason. Only then did Pharmacist Guo reply, "The two rivers are virtual and real, I know everything about them, and I am willing to help the prince." He did not doubt his words, and he was not convinced, but he did not kill him, but only detained the army and spread the news, saying that Guo Yaoshi, the deputy guard of Yanshan of the Great Song Dynasty, had returned to Dajin in an attempt to break the heart of the Great Song army.

When Zhao Ji heard the news, he was so discouraged that he didn't even bother to scold, and he was in a hurry to flee south. But even at this juncture, he did not forget to maintain his image of a "Ming Jun", and indicated in the edict to the crown prince that "this is not the left and right ministers Jianming, but from my will." That is to say, it was not the minister who forced me to order the prince to supervise the country, but it was I who felt that I had used people inappropriately and brought the country to this point, and I felt guilty that I handed over the power to the prince.

But you handed it over completely, the crown prince's imprisonment is only temporary, and you still dominate the throne and haven't moved your nest. The people of the government and the opposition were unstable, and the vast majority of the ministers in Beijing were packing their bags and preparing to flee south with the emperor. Li Gang and others sensed the danger and decided to take immediate action to force Zhao Ji to abdicate. Because as long as Zhao Ji is still the emperor, it is justified for the minister of civil and military affairs to follow him to flee south. If a new monarch is established, who will have an excuse to flee?

Wu Min was the first to attack the matter, and asked Zhao Ji for the Zen position, and quoted Li Gang's remarks. Sadly, he said that the means to move Zhao Ji must rely on the strange power of this Daojun Emperor's belief in the gods: "The so-called immortal emperor of Shenxiao Wanshou Palace, Your Majesty is also. There must be Emperor Qinghua (Prince Zhao Huan) to help him, and his omen has appeared here. When Zhao Ji heard this, he just sighed a few times and thought thoughtfully. Later, he summoned Li Gang to the palace, Li Gang was indeed a loyal gentleman for the country, pierced his arm and wrote a blood book, stating the stakes, and immediately bowed to Zhao Ji for the throne.

Zhao Ji was anxious to flee south, and had no intention of entanglement with these ministers of the main war faction, so he agreed to the Zen position. But when the edict was sent to Zhao Huan, this prince did not follow the practice of previous dynasties, pushing and refusing to accept it, but really didn't want to sit on the dragon chair at this time, because he understood that once he ascended the throne, what he Laozi left him was not a big empire that sang and danced and surrendered from all over the world, but a mess! He repeatedly refused, and even fell ill because of his anger. But you don't joke, you have to sit in the position of the Supreme of the Ninety-Five, and you have to sit if you don't sit!

On the last day of the seventh year of Xuanhe, Zhao Ji ordered someone to "detain" the prince, officially passed on him, and forcibly draped the yellow robe on him. The funny thing is that Zhao Kuangyin, the ancestor of the Zhao family, was also forcibly added to the yellow robe, but it was half pushed, and his heart was secretly cool. Zhao Huan was full of grievances and sincerely refused. Now the royal robe is draped on his body, just waiting for the official enthronement and accepting the congratulations of the ministers, he will be the ninth king of the Song Dynasty.

On the Wende Palace, Zhao Huan, who was dressed in a yellow robe, accepted the informal greetings of Li Gang and other ministers of the main war faction with an expressionless face. This twenty-five-year-old new monarch, like his father, was born with red lips and white teeth, a graceful and graceful son, and a true Zhao Wang's grandson. Looking at His Royal Highness, he was so confused that he didn't know where the future of the country was.

"Your Majesty! When the new monarch ascends the throne, he should be promoted to reward the ministers, give amnesty to the world, and boost the morale of the three armies. The ministers are willing to follow His Majesty, although they are full of liver and brains, they will not regret their deaths! "Li Gang's image makes it difficult to associate him with a national hero. If it weren't for an official robe, this old man, who was less than fifty years old, with a weathered face, wrinkles, and gray hair, would look no different from the old man of a peasant family.
