Chapter 80: Covenants

"With Lin'an as the accompanying capital? Isn't that about to cross the Yangtze River? Liu Hao opened his mouth and asked: "If the prince ascends the throne in Lin'an, what will happen to this large territory in the north?" ”

Zong Ze frowned and said: "The words of the attached horse reminded the old minister, now most of the north has fallen into the hands of the Jin people, if the prince takes Lin'an as the capital, there is the Yangtze River to rely on, the north can be used as a battlefield to deal with the Jin people, and there is no need to worry about the future, the old minister thinks this is an excellent plan!" ”

Everyone was silent, and Zhao Gou finally nodded after pondering for a long time: "Okay, then take Yingtianfu as the capital and Lin'an as the accompanying capital, and then decide when to move to Lin'an depending on the future development of the situation." ”

After agreeing on this matter, Zhao Gou let out a long breath and said: "You still have something to discuss, if not, we will disperse, and the Lone King will hold a banquet in the palace in the evening, please go to the banquet on time." ”

"Yes!" Everyone bowed.

Zhao Gou looked at Wan Linggen and said, "Attached to the horse, the lonely king heard that everyone Li is in your house, how about you bring her with you, and you can also help everyone Yaxing during the banquet?" ”

Wan Linggen hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, I can't be her master of this, I have to ask her myself to do it." ”

Zhao Gou nodded and smiled: "That's nature!" You can also bring your relatives with you, and let us have fun with our kings and ministers. ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" The people stood up and saluted, ready to leave.

Wan Linggen also stood up, Zhao Gou waved his hand to everyone, but said to Wan Linggen, "Stay with the horse, you can retreat first." ”

After everyone had withdrawn, and only the two of them were left in the room, Zhao Gou pointed to the chair and said, "Sit with the horse." After speaking, he sat down on the main seat, looked at Wan Linggen and said: "Attached to the horse, I already know the explanation of the two saints to you, and after I officially ascend the throne, I will edict the world." But...... But the second saint repeatedly explained to me, asking me to ...... to Jinren," he hesitated and couldn't continue.

"Are you going to make peace with the Jin people?" Wan Linggen interface.

"Yes, but the current situation is full of anger, and the word "peace" must not be mentioned." Zhao Gou frowned and said, "Otherwise, if you don't use the Jin people to attack, they will kill my Zhao clan." ”

Wan Linggen thought for a while and said: "I can understand the thoughts of the two saints about peace, but the premise of peace is that people are willing to negotiate with us, not us, and then we can't ask for peace." ”

Zhao Gou's eyes lit up and asked, "Does Attached Marco have a good proposition?" ”

Wan Linggen stood up and said, "Lord Wang, peace has always been fought out, not negotiated. ”

Zhao Gou was stunned, "Is the attached horse the same as the old general Zongze, isn't the main battle the main peace?" ”

Wan Linggen shook his head, "Lord Wang, I'm not completely in charge. ”

Zhao Gouqi said: "Then what do you mean?" ”

Wan Linggen sighed and said: "Have you ever thought that even if you use the north as a battlefield to fight a decisive battle with the Jin people, it is the people of my Great Song Dynasty who suffer after all, and it is the foundation of my Great Song Dynasty that is hurt. ”

Zhao Gou nodded, his expression a little gloomy.

Wan Linggen continued: "Lord Wang, if peace can be exchanged for peace in the territory, then it is worth discussing. But the prince must remember one thing, negotiating peace is not Gou An, we must create an opportunity to push the battlefield to their side! ”

Zhao Gou stood up suddenly, his eyes shining brightly, "Attach the horse, come on, how can we move the battlefield to the territory of the Jinren?" ”

Wan Linggen said: "Lord Wang, it's not very easy to do this. It is necessary to have generals like the old general Zong Ze to carry out the border clearing operation at the same time as the peace talks, and it is best to cross the Yellow River and go deep behind the enemy to open up a battlefield, and then the difficulties of the Central Plains can be easily solved. ”

Zhao Gou's expression suddenly became strange, he looked at Wan Linggen and said, "I'm afraid this person is not easy to find." ”

Wan Linggen didn't understand what he meant, "What does this mean, prince?" ”

Zhao Gou said: "Do you know how my Emperor Taizu ascended the throne?" ”

Wan Linggen suddenly realized that Zhao Kuangyin was forcibly added to the yellow robe by his subordinates in Chenqiaoyi, and forced the young Chai Zongxunchan to be in him, which directly led to the entire Great Song Dynasty ruling tone to become heavy on literature and light on martial arts, among which the soldiers are impermanent and handsome, and the handsome and impermanent division is a typical portrayal.

"Isn't it possible that the prince can't find someone who can be completely trusted?" Wan Linggen asked.

Zhao Gou nodded, "Once the power of the martial arts is concentrated, it will be difficult to control, and it will be very bad to attack the monarch at that time." However, such people are not without ......" he looked at Wan Linggen, "If there is one person who can make me completely unscrupulous, it is the attached horse." ”

Wan Linggen was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly: "Isn't the prince afraid that I will support the army and stand on my own?" ”

Zhao Gou smiled and said, "I've never been worried, do you know why?" ”

Wan Linggen shook his head.

Zhao Gou said: "There are two reasons, one is because you were ordered by the heavens to save my Great Song Dynasty, and you will not replace him, and the other is the most important reason is Ling'er. ”

"Princess?" Wan Linggen Qi Dao.

Zhao Gou smiled and said: "Ling'er is the most favored princess in my royal family, and she is also my favorite and trusted person, and I have no reason to doubt her man. ”

Wan Linggen's heart is like this, in fact, for him, these two reasons of Zhao Gou are not valid, what nonsense is ordered by the sky, he doesn't believe it at all, as for Zhao Ling'er, he just likes it a little, and has more responsibility as a last resort.

Zhao Gou suddenly patted him on the shoulder and said, "Attached to the horse, how about you and I make an agreement?" ”

"What agreement?" Wan Linggen asked curiously.

Zhao Gou said: "Since the two sages have made peace with the Jin people and promised you the heavy responsibility of the whole day, then our monarch and the ministers have agreed: I am the master and you are the outside, it is of course good to be able to drive the Jin people out of the customs and recover the clouds, if they can completely disappear from this world, it will be the best." ”

Wan Linggen couldn't help but feel a burst of blood boiling when he heard this, he shook Zhao Gou's hand and said, "Okay! Then we will make this agreement, when the time comes, I will not only let the prince re-reign in Kaifeng, if the prince wants to go to Youzhou to sit in the palace, I can also do it for the prince! ”

Zhao Gou was overjoyed and said, "Really? ”

Wan Linggen nodded solemnly.

Zhao Gou's face blushed and laughed: "Hahaha...... if one day, I can not only sit in Kaifeng again, but also sit in Youzhou and reign all over the world, it will be a peerless achievement of you and me comparable to Emperor Qin and Han Wu, hahaha......"

After laughing, Zhao Gou stretched out a palm, staring at Wan Linggen with blazing eyes, Wan Linggen also stretched out a palm, and the two palms snapped together, and then clenched tightly together.

Zhao Gou said quite emotionally: "Attached to the horse, you and I have been a monarch and a minister since then, in order to avoid using you as a threat when negotiating peace with the Jin people, I will only show the world your identity as a horse, and nothing else will be mentioned." ”
