After a few temptations, Han really couldn't find a flaw in this young man, thinking about it, the only explanation was: he was fooled by the Song people again, this person is an impostor, and he is definitely not a prince. Insist on returning the goods and change to a 'real' prince as a hostage. So Zhao Shu, the king of Su, and Cao Sheng, the commander of the horses, were exchanged for Zhao Gou on February 5.

This can't be blamed for Han Li's low IQ, in fact, he is a well-known smart person among the Jurchens, and the fault is that he does not understand China's national conditions and imperial culture, it is under the treacherous system of the empire that Zhao Gou's performance can just confirm that he is the prince. Because only this kind of prince and grandson who was born and grew up in the deep palace, they can only live trembling and cautious in the extremely dangerous deep palace, and they have seen too many conspiracies and killings, and he knows how to properly preserve his life when danger comes.

Zhao Gou escaped the catastrophe and returned home safely, and was welcomed like a hero, and the imperial brother Zhao Huan immediately named the ninth brother who took the initiative to ask Ying to pledge the gold camp. But Zhao Gou, who lived for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, did not have the slightest excitement, he already understood that this seemingly loyal emperor's brother just regarded himself as an outcast on the chessboard.

When he left the capital as a hostage, the emperor swore that he would guarantee his safety and redeem him as soon as possible, but for an unsuccessful robbery, Zhao Gou almost lost his life, and after returning, the emperor put all the responsibility on Li Gang and Yao Pingzhong, and washed himself white.

But Zhao Gou didn't believe it at all, although he was not taken seriously, he was also the prince of the empire, and who dared not to take himself in his eyes, so he dared to take the prince as a bet. Only and can only be the real controller of the empire, it is the royal brother who lost his word.

Zhao Gou, who had a splitting headache, seemed to have figured it out in an instant. He is a gorgeous ornament, a chess piece that can be discarded at any time in the hands of the emperor. can't control his own fate at all, he is a little envious of his second brother who is 'exiled', at least he is still free!

"Unwillingly, my life is up to the sky!" Zhao Gou shouted in his heart...

………

On the day Zhao Gou returned to the city, a major event occurred at the same time, Taixue Zhusheng Fu Que wrote a book, and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians came unexpectedly, demanding the deposition of Li Bangyan, the reuse of Li Gang and the Dao of the planter, and opposing the cutting of land and begging for peace. At this time, it was rumored that the Jin army was attacking the city again. Everyone in the city was in danger, and they were indignant at Qinzong's dismissal of Li Gang and others and the reuse of Li Bangyan and others. Everyone beat the drums until they smashed them to pieces. And the soldiers and civilians outside the gate gathered more and more, there were hundreds of thousands of people, and for a time the streets and alleys were impassable, and the voices of all parts of the city were moving, and the sound spread for dozens of miles. This went on for several hours, and there was no one to appease the court. No one answered, and the mood of the people became more and more intense.

The soldiers and civilians who acted out of righteous indignation could not have been so gentle and humble, and they beat Li Bangyan, and his lord and ministers were also reviled and beaten. killed dozens of attendants, Zhao Heng knew that he was wrong, and the public was angry. They are more worried about the pressure of a strong enemy and the resurgence of civil strife. had to announce the reinstatement of Li Gang and Seed Master, and let Li Gang come forward to appease the petitioning students. The turmoil was quelled.

After several tosses, the Song Dynasty from the Son of Heaven to the Li Min can be said to have suffered from the Jin army. The Jin army has been outside the city for nearly a month, and the Song Dynasty is looking forward to the Jin army's departure and speedy liberation. The Jin army is now in a hurry to take the silver two and leave, and the Song Dynasty is actually in a hurry, and is in a hurry to gather the silver and send the plague god away. However, the amount of silver taels promised to Jin Jun was too much, and it was not easy to make it together.

Zhao Heng first ordered to gather all the gold and silver that could be found in the palace and various palaces and temples, but this was too far from the five million taels of gold and fifty million taels of silver promised to the Jin army. He also issued an order to order Wang Xiaodi, a squire, to be responsible for collecting gold and silver from the people and various government offices.

Wang Xiaodi ordered that all the gold and silver in the homes of the people and officials at all levels must be handed over to the state treasury within two days. If that person discovers that someone else is hiding gold or silver, he can go to the government and report it, and the whistleblower will be rewarded with one-third of the seized gold and silver, and if the amount is particularly large, he can even become an official for it.

Because Wang Xiaodi said that if he didn't pay the gold and silver, the Jin army would kill all the men, rob all the women, burn the palace, and take all the gold and silver, so the people gave him a nickname, called "Four Exhaust Zhongshu". While desperately looting the gold and silver of the soldiers and civilians in the city, the imperial court continued to transport these gold and silver to the Jin army.

On 8 February, the good news finally came that the commander of the Eastern Army of the Jin Army had sent an envoy and brought a farewell letter. In addition to being polite and not wanting to attack the Song Dynasty, he also specially allowed the Song Dynasty to reduce the cost of the labor army by 10,000 gold collars, 100,000 silver ingots, and 100,000 pieces of cloth, and also sent 50 ginseng titles, and the rest of the war indemnity was paid in monthly installments for the rest of the year.

On 9 February, on the grounds that the threat of war had been lifted and that food supplies were in difficulty in the DPRK and China, the Emperor requested the emperor to disband the temporary garrison troops organized by the people, leaving only the regular army. Zhao Huan agreed. On 10 February, he wrote back that the Jin army was preparing to set off on the 11th.

On the same day, Wu Min asked the emperor to restore Li Bangyan's position as Dazai on the grounds that many prime ministerships were now vacant and the country was in urgent need of employment. Zhao Huan immediately complied. So Li Bangyan was deposed only a few days later, and then sat on the throne of prime minister again.

After Zhao Huan got the reply, he considered that he was only making peace with the Jin Army on the East Road, and that he should also send an envoy to the West Route Army to inform him, so he ordered Lu Yundi to send an envoy to the Han place, and at the same time went to Taiyuan, Zhongshan, and Hejian to inform the local officials and defenders that the imperial court had handed over these three places to the Jin State, so that they could cooperate with the Jin State in the delivery of the matter, and the incident could not be repeated.

On the 11th of February, when he returned north with his army, he immediately wrote to the emperor that this was the best time to pursue them in the rear, and to engage them when they reached the river, and promised that they would be annihilated. And if they are let go like this, they will definitely invade the south in the future.

After Li Bangyan and other lords and factions listened, they strongly opposed it in the court, and Zhao Huan accepted the proposal of Li Bangyan and others, and dismissed the master as the envoy of the Taiyi Palace, so the idea of pursuing the Jin army was never mentioned again. Li Bangyan was still not at ease, and after a few days, he made a comeback and asked Yao Gu, Chongshi Dao, Zheyan and other leaders to escort the Jin army across the river, and set up a big banner in Hedong and Hebei, making it clear that those who sent troops without permission everywhere would be dealt with by military law, so as to prevent local armed forces from harassing the Jin army.

With the departure of the Jin army, the siege was lifted by Kaifeng, which was surrounded by Yueyu, and the Great Song Dynasty also escaped for the time being... (To be continued......)
