Chapter 334: Guessing
Zhao Ta's impassioned speech at the court meeting quickly spread through the mouths of people from all walks of life, and naturally could not escape the ears and eyes of Jin Guo, and they transmitted the content back to China as quickly as possible and sent it to the desks of the bigwigs, which also caused a lot of shock.
In Wushu's view, this was a letter from Zhao Er to Jin, clearly telling him that he must send the traitors of the Great Song Dynasty back, otherwise he would not hesitate to start another war and capture them back to be judged by the Great Song. This made Wushu very annoyed and helpless, they launched a war against the Song Dynasty in order to ask Zhang Jue, and today the same plot is repeated in them, but the situation has been reversed, and they have become the party being coerced. giving, it will plunge the whole country into another turmoil; If you don't give it, you will face a renewed war, and the end will be an unbearable pain for the Jin country, and your previous efforts will be in vain.
In the eyes of Cai Songnian, the upstart of the Jin Kingdom, this is his own talisman. He is an authentic Song person, his father Cai Jing was the Xuanfu envoy of Yanshan, was captured by the rebel general Guo Yaoshi, and then refused Han Li's persuasion to surrender and was killed, which is regarded as the death festival of the Great Song Dynasty. It is said that Cai Songnian should have a common enmity with the Jurchens, but he accepted the expedition of Marshal Zuo's Mansion as a history, and after that, the official became bigger and bigger, and after the fall of the Liao Party, he became the leader of Hanchen, and naturally became one of the traitors that the Great Song Dynasty wanted to recover this time.
In addition to Cai Songnian, there were many ministers of the Song Dynasty who were officials in Jin, and they were even more panicked, they knew that the Jin State was now in decline, and they were forced to negotiate peace with the Song Dynasty, and the peace agreement was not settled for a long time because the exchange of prisoners of war between the two sides had been delayed for a long time. Now that Zhao Er has made such a strongly worded speech, the meaning is self-evident, he is already impatient to wait, and if he can't talk about it anymore, he can only start fighting. These people feared that the Jurchens would not hesitate to 'betray' themselves in order to reach a peace agreement. So everyone has found Cai Songnian. Let him have an idea and communicate with the Taishi. Listen to the point of ......
"Taishi, it is rumored in Beijing that the Southern Dynasty is asking for captured officials from our court, is this true?" Cai Songnian went to the Taishi Mansion to ask to see Wushu, and when the ceremony was over, he immediately asked.
"Well, this is indeed the case, Zhao Er announced at the October Shuo Dynasty that he would claim back all the officials of the Southern Dynasty in Jin, severely punish those who rebelled against the Song Dynasty, and praise those who observe the festival!" Wushu asked Cai Songnian to sit down. He nodded and said.
"Then what is the Taishi going to do?" Confirming the news again in Wushu, Cai Songnian was sitting on pins and needles, and asked in a trembling voice, he understood that with his status in the Jin Kingdom, going back would definitely be a dead end.
"At first, I only suspected that because of the collusion between Yuwen Xuzhong and the Southern Dynasty, he suddenly asked for Jin Songchen in the peace negotiation, but now that Zhao Er openly announced this matter in front of the envoys of various countries at the court meeting, it has to make people suspect that he has another purpose!" Wushu said thoughtfully.
"Taishi, the Southern Dynasty is using this to provoke my Dajin. Meant to humiliate us! Cai Songnian said eagerly, he intended to complicate and expand the matter, in order to be able to protect himself.
"Bojian. How likely do you think this is? The troops of the Southern Dynasty entered Liaoyang, forced us to take the initiative to sue for peace, returned the faint king, and ceded Yanjing. It also made us lose control of Dading and Linhuang Erjing, is there a greater humiliation than this? There is no need for Zhao Er to humiliate Dajin with this. To say that provocation is still possible! Wushu said.
"Yes, Zhao Er is belligerent and murderous. In the name of reclaiming the faint king, he has repeatedly violated my Dajin border, and now the Taishi has released the faint monarch out of righteousness, so that he has lost the excuse to use the army, so he will find an excuse again! Cai Songnian said that he used to be a supporter of the Vulture peace line, but now he is trying to provoke conflict between the two sides to avoid being sent back to the Great Song Dynasty.
"Hehe, is Bo Jian worried that Dajin will abandon you and others, so he speculates!" Wushu said with a smile, in the past few years, he has been worried about Dajin and himself, and his body and bones feel very different, but he has not yet reached the level of Alzheimer's disease, so he naturally heard the subtext in Cai Songnian's words.
"Taishi Mingjian, his subordinates have lost their temper under the urging of the news!" Cai Songnian saw that he was seen through by the vultures, and his face was also burning, and he replied with a smile.
"I understand Bo Jian's mood very well, but don't worry too much, how could Dajin Kingdom abandon you and other good ministers who are loyal to the Lord, and rely on you to contribute to Dajin in the future!" Seeing that he recognized it, Wushu smiled and comforted Cai Songnian, from the bottom of his heart, he was reluctant to let these dogs go, and he also needed him to charge into battle and make suggestions for himself.
"Thank you Taishi for showing compassion to his subordinates, once there is a drive, his subordinates will never give up!" Cai Songnian's heart was a little wider, and of course he would not forget the opportunity to 'hug his thighs', and hurriedly confessed his loyalty again.
"Bo Jian, don't be polite, Zhao Er is good at attacking the east and west with soldiers, and he will also look left and right to talk about him when he does things, our first problem now is to figure out his true purpose, so as not to fall into his trap, kill the hero by mistake, and let go of the spies!" Wushu said that he knew the difference in strength between the Jin State and the Great Song Dynasty, and now that he had only built a boundary trench on his side, and the soldiers and horses had just begun to be trained, it would be humiliating to fight with the Song Dynasty again, but he also believed that the Great Song Dynasty would not start a war lightly when it had an advantage in the negotiations, so he suspected that Zhao Er's remarks were for another purpose.
"The words of the master are like an initiation, so that the subordinates will suddenly open their mouths!" Cai Songnian was greatly relieved, and his brain was alive again, "The subordinates remembered that when the faint monarch returned to the country, the Southern Dynasty also had a big turmoil, although it was Zhao Er who claimed to give way to the faint monarch and was rejected by him, but afterwards King Kang of the Southern Dynasty was demoted, the queen said that he was sick and retired to the palace, and the eldest son of the emperor went out of the palace to raise up, which must be strange, it is likely that they were punished by Zhao Er for participating in the abdication. ”
"What do you mean is that there are still people in the Southern Dynasty who support the faint monarch, forcing Zhao Er to make a gesture of abdication, and then use means to quell the matter!" Wushu also remembered that this was indeed the case, but he thought that it was just Zhao Er acting in a play with fake benevolence and righteousness, and he didn't take it to heart, nor did he think carefully about the joints.
The subordinates thought that this was the case, which showed that there were still people in the Southern Dynasty who missed the old master and opposed Zhao Er's harsh government. In the past, why didn't he mention the matter of asking for the people and officials, but after the incident subsided, he made a big deal about asking for 'surrender' and punishing the traitors? Cai Songnian analyzed.
"Well, this matter did come suddenly, and it was too much of a coincidence, and it was really possible after you said it, so what was his purpose?" The Wushu nodded in agreement, but there were doubts.
"Taishi, his subordinates think that he has three purposes: first, it is nothing more than to show off his martial arts, deter Zhufan, and then improve his prestige; Second, most of the officials of the Southern Dynasty who stayed in our Dajin were courtiers of the Jingkang Dynasty, and many of them voluntarily followed him to the north to Jin, and they must be loyal to the old master, and Zhao Er was worried that once they returned to the National Assembly, it would be unfavorable to him, so he intimidated them in the name of punishing the traitors, so that they would have no family to return to......"
"Third, Zhao Er must also know that my dynasty will eliminate heresy and punish traitors, and he will know that my dynasty will definitely have vacancies and ineffective operation after this cleanup, if he claims his subordinates and others back, then the Dajin court will be empty, resulting in no directors in all ministries and departments of the imperial court, and the whole country will be paralyzed, thereby weakening the strength of our country!" Cai Songnian enumerated them one by one, this kid is really talented, he didn't eat dry rice for nothing, he didn't live up to the importance of Wushu to him, and the things he guessed were really good, but he didn't guess Zhao Ta's true purpose. But speaking of which, it's hard to believe that such a big battle is only for two traitors.
"This is three birds with one stone, Zhao Er is worthy of a generation of ghost talents, his ambition is like his Taizu, and his heart is as ruthless as his Taizong, he took this opportunity to eliminate dissidents, completely eliminate the possibility of reinstating the faint monarch, and also provoked the relationship between the monarchs and ministers of our court, so that the Dajin elite was lost and fell into a situation where no one was available!" Wushu said with emotion, this Zhao Er's heart is black enough, and his shot is accurate and ruthless, poking at your sore spots, making you uncomfortable if you don't die.
"Yes, Taishi is wise, he has seen through Zhao Er's tricks, we can't be fooled!" Cai Songnian saw that Wushu was moved, and hurriedly climbed along the pole.
"That being said, but now the peace talks have been delayed for a long time, and the big gold for me will eventually have endless troubles, but the Southern Dynasties continue to exert coercion to demand the return of the captive population, otherwise the peace talks will be terminated. Xing Shiji's side is urging every day, and they are also worried that their previous efforts will be wasted! Wushu said in embarrassment, what was even more uncomfortable was that he knew that there was a trap in front of him, and he had to drill into it.
"Taishi, now the two peace envoys are both Tian Jue, what they are looking forward to is to return all your henchmen to the Southern Dynasty, and then you will be forced to use Tian Jue!" Cai Songnian listened to his eyes and made a plan, only by removing all the people of the Liao Party and leaving Wushu without a spare tire, their status would be stable, and they would not be returned to the Southern Dynasty, so he told his 'guess'.
"Oh, that's right, the two of them are so hateful, they almost missed me!" Wushu slapped his head and said, how could he forget this stubble, there are two traitors making trouble in it, can the peace negotiation be smooth, "You can recall the two of them to the meeting, and you will take over the peace envoy and continue the peace negotiation with the Southern Dynasty!" ”
"Taishi, my subordinates think that I can take the opportunity to get rid of Tian Jue and others, so as not to think of them one day and make it difficult for Taishi, as for using my subordinates as peace envoys, I am afraid it is not appropriate, but it will backfire!" Cai Songnian was trembling when he saw that Wushu wanted him to be a peace envoy, didn't he go to the mouth of the tiger and there was no return, although he was not ranked first on the list of ministers asked for by the Southern Dynasty, he was also in the top three.
"Ha Lu Ha, it's really inappropriate! The Southern Dynasty thinks that I am provoking them, and I will definitely detain you! Wushu Da Lu said with a smile, but he also knew that Cai Songnian's words were true, if he didn't die if he didn't die, he would be injured by him, and the people of the Liao Party must die, but those poor people didn't know that Lu Dao's death was because of a person's groundless speculation in order to save his life......
