Chapter 288: The Prince's Rate

Xiao Kun didn't give an answer, but Yu Yin already knew the answer.

Feng Zheng came to Kaifeng for more than two years, rose rapidly, and once became a competitor for the Oiran, which can be described as famous.

In this, there is naturally Feng Lelou's strong support, but if there is no support from the Kaifeng magnates, Feng Zheng will not be able to quickly ascend to the throne. There was no news that Feng Zheng was a fine work in the alleys, but he suddenly committed suicide by taking poison, which was a bit bizarre. Yu Yin would never believe that a spy like Feng Zheng would easily commit suicide, which was unreasonable.

The greatest possible ......

On the way home, Yu Yin was thinking about this question.

In general, he also straightened out his thinking.

There are not many people who know that Feng Zheng is a thief and spy, except for the Jurchens, it is Yuyin and Emperor Maode.

Since Wanyan Zongwang has decided to show Dai Xiaolou's hole card, he will inevitably better protect Feng Zheng.

Yu Yin didn't reveal the news, it could only be leaking from Emperor Maode's side. Presumably, it was Emperor Mao De who decided to do it, or inadvertently revealed his mouth, and was noticed by someone with a heart, so he killed Feng Zheng and eliminated future troubles.

This person must have a close relationship with Feng Zheng.

It is even possible that he made a deal with Feng Zheng in order to seek benefits.

It's just that when Feng Zheng was about to be exposed, in order to hide his identity, he got rid of Feng Zheng to save his life.

Who could this person be?

Yu Yin couldn't guess a little......

However, if it is the news obtained from Emperor Maude, the identity and status of this person should definitely not be underestimated. Moreover, it is impossible for Feng Zheng to trade with an ordinary person, so the murderer can only be a powerful person in the DPRK and China.

Who is it?

Yu Yin only felt a little big.

At this point, it is no longer possible for him to participate in a small palace envoy. The people and things involved are bound to be very complex. Overall, it's nothing more than those few people, but it's not Yuyin who can talk about.

Thinking of this, Yu Yin felt even more headache!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

When I got home, it was getting late.

Yan Nu waited at home for Yu Yin to come back. As soon as we met, there was a lot of complaining.

However, seeing Yu Yin's tired face, Yan Nu closed his mouth. Let the meal be prepared, and after Yuyin finished eating, he went back to his room to rest.

This night, outside Kaifeng City, there was a constant shouting of killing.

As the Song army reinforcements continued to arrive, Wanyan Zongwang became more and more tough.

Emperor Qinzong hesitated. Under the persuasion of Geng Nanzhong, Tang Ke and Wang Boyan and others, it was finally decided to negotiate peace with the Jurchens.

But he was worried that he would be opposed by the courtiers led by Li Gang and others, so he privately ordered the army to make Zheng Wangzhi an envoy, and took advantage of the middle of the night to send Zheng Wangzhi and Jin Taizong's son Wanyan Puluhu from Nancheng to the city in a basket and go to the Jin army camp.

Emperor Qinzong also knew that if the news of this peace negotiation was spread, it would inevitably cause a monstrous rebellion.

So he himself is very cautious. After sending Zheng Wangzhi out of the city, he still urged Li Gang to stick to Kaifeng!

Poor Li Gang fought desperately with the thieves in front. Unbeknownst to him, this battle had already had a result.

On the sixteenth day of the first month, Zheng Wangzhi and Jin envoy Wu Xiaomin returned to Kaifeng together.

At this time, six days had passed since the Battle of Chaoyangmen, and Li Gang knew that Emperor Qinzong had started to negotiate peace.

Li Gang got the news from the gate tower of Suozao Gate, and couldn't help but jump like thunder.

But the negotiation of peace had already begun, and it was no longer up to Li Gang to stop it, so he hurried to Shangshu Province. Inquire about the results of the agreement.

"Wen Ji, what conditions does the thief propose?"

Li Gang returned to the lobby of the military department, and before he had time to catch his breath, he asked Sima Pu to ask.

Sima Pu's face was shrouded in a haze, and he looked extremely bad.

"Zheng Wangzhi misled the country. Zheng Wangzhi misled the country! ”…,

"Wen Ji, how do you say this?"

Sima Pu no longer had the calm bearing of the past, and his face turned red, "The thief proposed to take the Yellow River as the boundary." Hebei belonged to the thieves, and Henan was under the rule of my Great Song Dynasty, and the officials were also asked to give gold silk grain and grass as a reward for the army.

Now that our Great Song reinforcements are coming, the captives are already weak.

If he made such a non-dividing request, he Zheng Wangzhi should come back immediately and no longer discuss peace...... The thieves now have insufficient troops and lack of food and grass, and it is difficult to sustain themselves. As long as you hold on for a little longer, you will naturally bow your head and ask for peace. But Zheng Wangzhi brought Wu Xiaomin in, and the official family would inevitably back down. In this way, I am afraid that it will further encourage the arrogance of the thief. ”

Li Gang clenched his teeth, and his face was pale.

"Has Wu Xiaomin entered the palace for an audience?"

Sima Pu nodded, "I got the news, so I rushed to stop it, but it was still a step too late, and Wu Xiaomin had already entered the palace." ”

"Damn, damn, damn!"

Li Gang beat his chest and cursed non-stop.

After a long time, he finally returned to normal, and said to Sima Pu: "Wen Ji, let's enter the palace." ”

"What's the use?" Sima Pu smiled bitterly: "If Wu Xiaomin didn't enter the palace, there would still be room for everything to be returned, and now that he has entered the palace, I am afraid that the matter of peace negotiation cannot be changed." It only depends on how the official family decides, if Li Gong is possible, he will still try to fight the thief a few times, and if he can win, the attitude of the official family will also change......"

Li Gang thought about it, and felt that what Sima Pu said was quite reasonable.

"I'm going to find a sophomore in high school, and I'm going to fight with Yanzhuo, maybe I can get something."

"Then I will keep an eye on the palace here, and as soon as there is news, I will immediately tell Gong Li."

Li Gang no longer hesitated, got up and wanted to go out.

But as soon as he walked to the door, Sima Pu called him again.

"Boji, there is one thing I want to know from you."

"What's the matter?"

Sima Pu's face was gloomy, and he said softly after a while: "I got news from the palace that on the night of the Battle of Chaoyangmen, Wang Boyan and others entered the palace to face the saint. It is said that they mentioned the lack of troops in Yuyin's department, and they were quite slanderous about Li Gong. I know that Li Gong was determined at that time, but it was a last resort. But this matter, I'm afraid it will be Li Gong's trouble. ”

Li Gang chuckled in his heart, stood at the door, and was silent for a long time.

After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "I already know about this matter, Wen Jimo has to worry."

At that time, it was indeed my lack of thought. When the war is over, I will plead guilty...... Now that the situation is quite complicated, it is best for us to avoid arguing with Wang Boyan and others, and it is the right thing to resist the thieves wholeheartedly. ”

After speaking, Li Gang strode away.

Looking at his back, Sima Pu couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.

Bo Ji is upright and loyal, but he lacks a few means. You don't want to argue with Wang Boyan and others. But they don't necessarily think so. It's not a question of whether you're guilty of negligence, it's the mind of the officials, and they don't want to fight anymore.

I'm afraid that this battle is over, and Bo Ji will also be in trouble......

Sima Pu lingered in the lobby for a moment, and suddenly shouted in a deep voice: "Come on, prepare the horse!" ”

Perhaps, you and I have to plan ahead!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Li Gang originally intended to call Yanzhuo to fight, and if he could win a big game, he could boost his morale.

It was a small victory. It can also add some bargaining chips to the next negotiations, which is better than blindly sticking to Kaifeng.

But things are not what he thinks.

Hu Yanzhuo led the battle. Wanyan Zongwang avoided the battle.

He has achieved his goal, and this kind of wrestling is pointless. The old Zhao Guan's family is already scared, and they don't want to fight anymore!

With his understanding of Zhao Huan, there is not much difference from that Emperor Huizong.

Perhaps, Zhao Huan is not a woman, or maybe he doesn't like to play with the wind and the moon like Emperor Huizong. But there is no difference between the weak nature of father and son. And even in some ways. Zhao Huan is inferior to Emperor Huizong. …,

This person is timid and fearful, and has no heroic posture.

Mean and unkind, not the state of the master; Be suspicious. Play fast and loose......

With such an opponent, what is he afraid of?

Therefore, in the face of Hu Yanzhuo's repeated battles, Wanyan Zongwang ignored it.

Hu Yanzhuo is a veteran, and he also knows the reason why Li Gang sent him to fight. After seeing this, Yan Zongwang ignored it. Then he gave the order for a strong attack.

It's just that every time they attacked, they were repelled by the Jin army, and they lost many soldiers and horses.

When it was dark, Hu Yanzhuo had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

At the same time, news came from the palace.

In order to show the sincerity of the peace talks, Zhao Huan was willing to send the prince or the prime minister to Jinying to negotiate peace.

When Li Gang learned about it, he immediately went to the court and was willing to negotiate with the Jurchens on behalf of the Great Song Dynasty. Zhao Huan was afraid that Li Gang's attitude would be too tough, and instead of negotiating peace, it would cause unnecessary conflicts and be detrimental to the overall situation.

The battle of Chaoyangmen really scared Zhao Huan's courage.

If it weren't for the desperate resistance of the Song army, the city would have been broken if Kaifeng could not be said. Zhao Huan really didn't want to continue fighting, he could stop the war earlier, even if it cost him. Therefore, the persistence of Li Gang became more and more disgusted.

On the seventeenth day of the first month, Zhao Huan ordered Li Ze, a member of the Privy Council, to enter the gold camp to negotiate peace.

On the same day, the seed master Dao led the reinforcements to arrive outside Kaifeng City, and joined forces with Yao Pingzhong, the envoy of Qin Fengjun, and stationed them outside the city.

At the same time, reinforcements from all walks of life arrived.

In just one day, nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses were stationed outside Kaifeng City, and the strength far exceeded that of the Jin Army, which also made Kaifeng up and down, and greatly boosted morale.

Yu Yin naturally heard the news, and planned to go to greet him, but he didn't want to receive an edict, so he was ordered to enter the palace immediately to meet him.

This is also the first time Yu Yin has entered the palace to meet him, and he can't help but feel frightened.

I thought that I would be able to see Zhao Huan after entering the palace, but I didn't know that I only entered Yanfu Palace, and I didn't even enter the Gongchen Gate, so I was stopped by the envoy Zhang Danian.

"The official family is unwell today, so he will not summon Commander Yu.

However, the official family has an edict, and the edict is commanded by the prince Zhu to lead the government and the cavalry captain...... Jade command, this is the grace of the official, from today on, jade command...... No, you should respect the rate of the Jade Mansion, which is the prince's close minister. ”

The prince's mansions took the lead, protected the East Palace, and took charge of the investigation and patrol of the East Palace.

That is, the so-called prince's pro-army, although it is only the position of the eighth grade, but it is a close minister of the prince, and he is not under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council and the forbidden army, and only obeys the prince's dispatch. Compared with the former soldiers and horses of the palace, it seems to have been lowered by two levels. But the actual power is much greater than before, and the most important thing is that he no longer obeys the dispatch of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, even Li Gang, and he can't help Yuyin.

Zhao Huan was kind, and felt that Yu Yin had been suppressed by Li Gang before, and it was not a good thing to continue to obey orders.

simply separated him from the military department and put him under the command of the crown prince Zhao Chen. This also means that Zhao Huan wants to cultivate Yuyin as a close minister of the prince. In the future, as soon as the crown prince Zhao Chen ascends the throne, then Yuyin's status will rise.

It's just Zhao Huan's kindness, but Yu Yin is a little overwhelmed.

He received the edict and left in a daze, and he didn't understand whether this was a promotion or a demotion?

In terms of rank, not to mention the rate of the government. is still a cavalry captain, and it is not as good as the original soldiers and horses; However, in terms of the number of troops under his command, it is more than twice as much, and the power naturally increases. Not being restrained by the Privy Council certainly represents freedom; But on the other hand, leaving the Privy Council, Yuyin's promotion path has become difficult.

When the crown prince Zhao Chen ascends the throne, it is estimated that he will be a captain in front of the palace, and the nature of Gao Yu is not too much.

Be someone else. Maybe it will be very happy.

But Yuyin felt that the future was still unclear, if he did this prince, he would be at the rate of the government. It is equivalent to withdrawing from this stage, and it is bound to be difficult to make changes. But the official edict has been issued, and Yuyin has no choice. …,

He had already rejected Emperor Huizong's edict, and if he was rejecting Zhao Huan, it would be another trouble.

After receiving the order, Yu Yin went straight to the East Bedroom Pavilion.

As soon as Zhao Chen saw Yu Yin, he excitedly took his hand and said, "Xiao Yi, you will be on duty on my side in the future." See who dares to bully you. ”

"Bullying me?"

Zhao Chen nodded vigorously and said, "Xiaoyi, you are kind, but I heard about it."

Li Gang communiquΓ© personal vendetta, because of the incident of the Great Song Times Weekly, nearly a thousand soldiers and horses under your command were detained, so that the battle of Chaoyangmen that day. You are a soldier and horse envoy in front of the palace, and there are less than 1,000 soldiers and horses under your command, which is too much of a deception. ”

When Yu Yin heard this, he was stunned.

"Little brother, who did you listen to about this?"

"It's already spread in the palace. said that Li Gang coerced you to hand over Time Magazine, but not only did you not succeed, but even Li Dalang ran away from home, so he held a grudge...... When my aunt heard about this, she was very angry. Yesterday, I talked about this matter with the queen mother, saying that Li Gang and they look down on you, and if you continue to stay there, you will have to be bullied. ”

"Auntie?"

Yu Yin immediately came to his senses, what Zhao Chen said was probably Emperor Roufu.

Among the daughters of Emperor Huizong, only Emperor Roufu and Emperor Maode had the last relationship with him. Emperor Maude would not say such a thing casually, it could only be Emperor Zhao Duofu of Roufu. In my heart, there was a feeling of crying and laughing, on the one hand, I was grateful, and on the other hand, I didn't know how to say Zhao Duofu. But no matter what, Emperor Roufu treats him really well.

After talking to Zhao Chen for a while, Yu Yin took over the seal of Zhu Rate Mansion from Zhao Chen's hand.

Subsequently, under the guidance of Zhao Chen, he went to the West Bedroom Pavilion to meet Queen Zhu Lian, and he had to teach again......

Yu Yin is also the first time to see this Empress of the Great Song Dynasty.

When you look closely, you can see that Zhu Lian and Zhu Xuan are quite similar. It's just that Zhu Xuan looks more lively, and Zhu Lian is stable and mature. That kind of grace can be compared with non-Zhu Xuan. After Yu Yin respectfully listened to Zhu Lian's advice, he retired with Zhao Chen.

Xu is in this deep palace, there is no one to talk to.

Yu Yin's arrival made Zhao Chen look very happy.

He dragged Yu Yin back to the East Bedroom Pavilion, and showed off Yu Yin to see his recent homework, and pestered Yu Yin to teach him two more tricks. It can be seen that Zhao Chen has indeed worked sumo, and he has also shown his skills in one move and one style.

After Yu Yin saw it, he was also full of praise, which made Zhao Chen even happier.

Just when Zhao Chen was practicing, there was a shout from outside the palace, and Emperor Roufu came.

As soon as Zhao Duofu entered the East Bedroom Pavilion, he smiled and said, "Xiao Yi, I rescued you from the sea of suffering, how do you thank me?" ”

The delicate appearance of the little daughter makes people's hearts tremble.

Zhao Duofu, who is sixteen years old, has long since lost his youthful appearance, revealing vigor and vitality.

When Yu Yin saw her, she couldn't help but feel pity in her mind for the tragic ending of Emperor Roufu in history.

"The princess is very loving, and Xiao Yi is grateful.

If the princess has orders in the future, Xiao Yi will definitely obey his orders. ”

"Hee-hee, that's what you said."

Zhao Duofu is still carefree, and it seems that the outside world has not brought her too much trouble.

Yu Yin's heart moved, and he suddenly said: "Now that the thief has not retreated, is there a guard by the princess's side?" ”

"Huh?"

"I heard that even Emperor Mao De has added a good player, it is said that he is the head of the Imperial Boxing Gym, named Zhou Fengshan, who is strong in martial arts. Now that the situation is not good, it is best for the princess to have a person with strong martial arts to accompany her to protect her. ”

"Zhou Fengshan?"

Emperor Roufu was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Is it amazing?" ”

"No longer below me."

"That must be amazing......

Emperor Roufu and Zhao Chen are the same way.

Yuyin Chaoyangmen bloody battle of thieves, beheaded many people in Pu Yuan, nearly 100 thieves, has been widely spread in Kaifeng City.

In the eyes of Emperor Roufu and Zhao Chen, someone who can be on par with Yu Yin must be a powerful character.

Zhao Duofu said: "My sister is different from me.

She lives in Cai's Mansion and can add guards, but I am in the palace, but I can't recruit guards. ”

Yu Yin smiled: "Who said that the guards should be men?" I know a strange woman, who is strong in martial arts, and she is not far behind Yan Nu. During the Battle of Chaoyangmen, this woman killed dozens of thieves, and she was the leader of the thieves, and she also died in her hands.

If the princess wants to, why not bring her in?

First, she is a woman, and it is convenient to enter the palace; Second, with her accompanying protection, it can also add a security, why not? ”

"You mean ......"

Zhao Duofu suddenly had a sweet feeling in his heart.

Xiao B, you actually care about me!

She said softly: "Since it was recommended by Xiao Yi, it must be a heroine among women, but I don't know which one?" ”

"I know, I know!" Zhao Chen shouted excitedly: "I heard that during the Battle of Chaoyangmen, there were two heroines, one was Sister Jiu'er, and the other was Brother Wang Yan...... The heroine Xiao Yi said was Wang Yange? ”

"That's the man!"

Yu Yin smiled slightly, and then said: "The princess doesn't know, this Wang Yange's husband is the palace commander Yu Hou Ma Gao. Before Ma Gao was killed, Wang Yange became a widow, but now in Kaifeng, he doesn't even have a support, which is very pitiful.

If the princess can be protected by Wang Yange, she will be very safe. ”

Zhao Duofu was naΓ―ve, and he was even more convinced of Yu Yin's words.

She nodded vigorously, "Since it was recommended by Xiao Yi personally, then this Wang Yan must be very powerful."

By the way, Xiao Yi is now the leader of the government and can lead an army. I also asked Brother Wang Yan to train a team of soldiers and horses, how about we compete when the time comes? ”

This last sentence was said to Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen's child's temper likes this kind of liveliness the most.

Hearing that Zhao Duofu was going to compete with him, he immediately nodded excitedly and said: "I have Xiaoyi here, Huanggu, you will win Wang Yange, and you will not be my opponent." (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
