Forty-ninety-eight, the new monarch Zhao Huan
Zhao Ji's question made Wu Min stunned, and after a while, he bowed down and said: "Since the minister suggested that the crown prince be passed on, then since he should go out on patrol with His Majesty, how can he serve the new monarch for his subordinates?" ”
Hearing him say this, Zhao Ji no longer had any doubts, and immediately ordered someone to summon the prince and all the important ministers. The pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info had his own ears and eyes to tell the news to Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, who was shocked and wanted to enter the palace, but was prevented by others, so he could only look at the palace and weep, gloomy.
When the crown prince Zhao Huan got the news, he was ecstatic, but in front of Zhao Ji, he had to behave a little bit. Zhao Ji was anxious to leave Beijing, his mind was decided, everything was simple, and the next day he passed the throne, and as soon as the ceremony was over, he took a group of close people out of Beijing.
This time, the target is Gangnam.
If you want to go to Jiangnan, you must first get Yingtianfu, originally Zhao Ji thought that this was a difficult process, but unexpectedly half a day away from Beijing, he got on the railway, and only one day later, he arrived at Yingtianfu.
Zong Ze was repairing the city wall, and he was shocked when he heard that he was coming, and he knew that the matter of passing on the crown prince had just arrived, and suddenly the abdicated emperor appeared in Yingtianfu, which could not help but make people reverie.
Zhao Ji didn't say any nonsense, and after encouraging Zong Ze a few words, he asked, "Where is Jiguo Gong now?" ”
"Half a day ago, the minister sent an envoy to Beijing to report that Yue Fei's troops under the command of the Duke of Jiguo broke the gold lord in Yanjing, and Han Shizhong's department regained the state, and soon they will be able to plow the court and cut off the way back for the gold thief, just ask the court to be patient, and the northern border can be peaceful forever!"
This news made Zhao Ji stunned.
After a long while, he said bitterly, "I see...... It's so ......"
Knowing this, what kind of position did he abdicate!
If it weren't for the ministers, he wouldn't have to abdicate at all, as long as he held on until Zhou Quan won!
"The ministers misunderstood me!"
He paused in exasperation, let out a long sigh, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It doesn't matter if Zhou Quan is not in Ying Tianfu, it saves the embarrassment of the two meeting each other, and it also saves Zhou Quan from seeing him and having the idea of coercing the emperor to order the world.
"Your Majesty can pause for some time and return to Beijing after the battle situation is clear." Zong Ze suggested.
"Let's talk about it...... It is difficult for me to get out of Beijing, and I have heard for a long time that the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River is different from that of the Central Plains, so I should go to play. ”
Zong Ze still had to persuade again, but was sent out by Zhao Ji on the grounds that he was tired, and after Zong Ze left, there were cronies who were reluctant to give up the prosperity in Beijing and said: "I knew this was the case, why did I go out of Beijing?" ”
Zhao Ji didn't care, and sighed: "I want to go out of Beijing, not because I am afraid of gold, but because I am afraid of the people, the people in Beijing are turbulent, and the emperor is not good!" ”
"Summoning the Duke of Jiguo into Beijing is to suppress it."
Now Zhao Ji's close attendants are also omnipotent as Zhou Quan.
Zhao Ji glanced at him.
The servants are just unwilling to leave the prosperous place of Jingshi, in fact, it is possible to let Zhou Quan come to strike the gold people, and let him suppress the people, it is absolutely impossible.
"I don't know how my emperor will deal with the people...... I just hope that he will not give in to the golden people. ”
As Zhao Ji expected, Zhao Huan was really dealing with the headache of the people. Although the emperor has changed, the debts owed by the court cannot be replaced. Zhao Huan intended to borrow money from the Chamber of Commerce again, but was blocked by Zhao Ji's holy decree.
"What can I do?" When he had a problem, he naturally had to ask Geng Nanzhong, who was newly involved in politics, for advice.
"Your Majesty only needs to rebuke the evil and cultivate benevolence, and the people will be at peace." It's a pity that Geng Nanzhong's ability has not improved with his official position, and what he said is still the same set of big truths.
Zhao Huan couldn't say that he was wrong, and praised Geng Nanzhong before sending him away. After thinking about it, he thought of Li Gang, another hero in this inner meditation.
Li Gang had an idea.
"At the beginning, the emperor copied Zhu Mian's family, and got more than 2 million yuan, and copied Yang Jian's family, and got 3 million yuan......
Zhao Huan realized: "What I said is, I ...... I'm going to confiscate the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce! ”
Li Gang was stunned at this time, he didn't expect that Zhao Huan hated Zhou Quan to such an extent!
When he came back to his senses, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you can't do it, the minister said that it is not Zhou Quan, but Tong Guan, Wang Huang, etc.!" ”
Zhao Huan clapped his hands suddenly, and said excitedly: "That's right, copy these two thieves first, and Zhou Quan will stay for the future!" ”
He still can't let go of Zhou Quan, Li Gang really doesn't know where this deep hatred comes from.
Without waiting for Li Gang's persuasion, Zhao Huan said worriedly: "It's just that these two people are both former ministers of the emperor, will they be said to be unfilial?" ”
He didn't want to let them go, but he was afraid of damaging his reputation.
Li Gang said: "Your Majesty, why should you worry about this, these two people were convicted in front of the emperor, and the emperor was benevolent and couldn't bear to punish them, and ordered them to be punished, but they were not evil, secretly married the prince, shook the country, and deserved to be punished." Your Majesty is a great filial piety for this, and he will win the hearts of the people of the world! ”
Zhao Huan was overjoyed, and without hesitation, he immediately summoned Geng Nanzhong again, Geng Nanzhong also said that he had a good plan, Tong Guan and Wang Hao supported Zhao Kai at the beginning, but they forced him to choke enough, this is the opportunity for revenge!
But when he learned that this plan was offered by Li Gang, he secretly disliked it in his heart, because after Zhao Huan succeeded to the throne, Li Gang's relationship with him changed from an ally to a competitor, and the more brilliant Li Gang was, the more he would threaten his status. ”
Now that Zhao Huan likes to copy his family, he said happily: "Who else?" ”
"Er Cai!"
Er Cai is Cai Jing Cai You's father and son, the wealth of the Cai family is even higher than Wang Huang, and Cai Jing went out of Beijing without authorization, Cai You misled the country and was incompetent, and he should indeed be punished.
At this time, Zhao Huan completely forgot Cai You's credit for his succession. He immediately agreed, Cai Jing was not in Beijing, only raided his home, and Cai You still had a dream of making meritorious contributions, but he didn't want to wait for a reward, but a raid.
Geng Nanzhong's purpose in bringing Er Cai in is to implicate Li Gang, who was Cai You's guest, through them. After Li Gang figured it out, he didn't dare to speak too much for Cai You, and he didn't want to hear the news from Ying Tianfu at this moment.
Zhou Quan's army attacked Yanjing and defeated Aguta, cutting off the news of the return of the Jin people, and the new emperor copied the Tong, Wang, and Er Cai families, and had enough money to repay the debts, the people in Beijing suddenly rejoiced, and for a while, the Jin people who were less than 100 miles north of the capital were not so terrible.
The people praised Zhou Quan the most.
But they didn't know that Zhou Quan, who was thought to have gone to Yanjing, was actually not far from Beijing.
"The emperor has passed through Xuzhou, he originally just passed by, but after arriving in Xuzhou, he stayed for a few more days, and he was a little happy." Beside Zhou Quan, Bai Xianfeng said with a smile.
Zhou Quan sighed, but there was not much joy.
Despite their successive victories on the battlefield, events still deviated from their original expectations.
First, they did not return to the north desperately, or rather, they overestimated the father-son relationship of the Jurchens. In the original plan, Hu Li would not go north desperately to return to Yanjing, Han Shizhong would stop him, block him by the Yellow River, and wait for Yue Fei to eliminate Aguta, the three armies would meet and destroy him in one fell swoop.
But he was persuaded by Wu Qimai, and there was nothing in Zhou Quan this time, but the capital of the Great Song Dynasty would be in trouble.
The second accident was that Zhong Xiang ran to Sichuan, Sichuan is the weakest place for Zhou Quan's infiltration, and his intelligence system over there can only transmit some basic information, and he didn't even pay attention to Zhong Xiang before. At this time, Zhong Xiang's incident made Zhou Quan have a bad premonition: Maybe Zhong Xiang has something to do with Jinren!
Judging from his style of acting, Zhou Quan also smelled the breath of Manichaeism. If this speculation is true, then the Sichuan Rebellion is not the limit of the Great Song Dynasty, and Jiangnan Manichaeism is afraid that it will also make trouble.
These are all scabies and are nothing at all, but flies bite people who don't die can annoy people to death. Zhou Quan sighed slightly: "I'm not afraid of the Jin people, but I'm afraid of the Zhao family." ”
Bai Xianfeng was inexplicable: "What's so terrible about the Zhao family?" ”
"The emperor is just right, although there is no one to look like a king, but he has finally been an emperor for one or two decades, and he still has some experience. But Zhao Huan only ascended to the throne of God by patience, I am afraid that he will pretend to be patient as the last way to solve all problems, no matter what happens, he will engage in Taoguang and obscurity, and the same will be true for Shangjin people. The ministers close to him are all from the old people of the East Palace, talking about benevolence and righteousness without real strategies, it is not bad if it is not bad, and it will not help the world at all! ”
Zhou Quan's words unfortunately came true.
After relieving the immediate crisis, Zhao Huan began to ponder the problem of Jinren.
In his opinion, the contradiction with the Jin people is the emperor, Tong Guan and others, he is the new emperor, he can make peace with the Jin people, so he sent a messenger to the Jin people to ask for peace.
The Jin people agreed to make peace, and the precondition was that the Han army withdrew from Yanjing.
Zhao Huan was overjoyed when he heard this, and felt that the peace talks could be achieved, and he did not go through the court meeting, so he sent envoys directly, and rushed to Yanjing.
When Li Gang heard the news, he was shocked. Hurriedly entered the palace to see: "Your Majesty, who made this decision for Your Majesty!" ”
"What's the next step?"
"In Yan's army, it is Zhou Quan's private army, how can Your Majesty support it? If I am so hasty, I am afraid that not only will I not be taken seriously, I will lose the dignity of the court, but I am also afraid of Zhou Quan, so that the monarch and the ministers will lose harmony, but they will be taken advantage of by the Jin people! ”
"I don't dare to agree with Li Boji's words, within ten steps, there will be fragrant grass, and within ten rooms, there will be faithfulness. Zhou Quan's private soldiers, who were also the courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty, would turn a deaf ear to the imperial court's edicts? ”
As soon as Geng Nanzhong heard Li Gang's words, he was extremely unhappy, just because he was the one who came up with this idea.
Without waiting for Li Gang to say more, Zhao Huan smiled and said: "Let's give it a try, the success is gratifying, and there is no regret in defeat." ”
Li Gang retreated silently, and gradually became disappointed in Zhao Huan in his heart.
These dragon sons and grandsons of the Zhao family are all unreliable!
He didn't know that after he left, Geng Nanzhong recommended to Zhao Huan: "Li Gang's worries are not unreasonable, the minister thinks that in order to make Zhou Quan's subordinates submit, it may not be enough to send only one messenger all the way, and it is necessary to issue gold medals in a row, and send loyal and upright people who are good at arguing to go, it will be easier to do things." ”
Zhao Huan felt justified again, so he asked, "Is there a suitable candidate for Qing?" ”
"The minister does have a candidate, the imperial history Qin Hui, who has always been loyal to the king, and can be the envoy!" (To be continued.) )
