Chapter 21: Maybe It's the Truth
Zong Ze said a few words without leaving the uncertain future, as if he was thinking about himself everywhere, excessive enthusiasm caused Zong Ze's vigilance, although the two could barely be called gods for a long time, but they did not intersect at all before, and now he wants to see what kind of medicine is buried in his gourd, so the words are also vague, making people feel that they are now involuntarily.
"Lord Wang, you also saw what happened this morning, they learned that the prince was going north to gather in the mansion, and they wanted to send officials to persuade you not to camp tens of millions of gold, so as not to be poisoned by him!" Zong Ze said.
"But peace is a major matter of the country, if the peace negotiation is successful, thousands of people will be spared the flames of war, even if the king is trapped in the enemy camp, what is the matter!" Zhao Ta said with a look of righteousness.
"The prince is the heart of the country, the officials admire, but there is something to do and something to do, and the prince can boost the morale of the people and let them know that the court will not abandon their people!" Zong Ze said.
"Have you ever thought about it, once the Jin army crosses the Yellow River, Bianjing is in front of them, will they still retreat? Therefore, we must hold peace talks before they cross the river to prevent them from continuing south and keep the Jingshi, so this king must go anyway! Zhao said.
"Does the prince really think that the Jurchens will really talk about peace? This is just their delaying tactic, even if the prince goes, it will only make them think that our Great Song Dynasty is weak and can not be bullied, and it will not be able to stop it from crossing the Yellow River! Zong Ze was really a little anxious, and his voice became louder, and several guards immediately rushed in.
"It's okay to retreat!" Zhao Ta waved his hand to let a few of his highly nervous subordinates come out, and asked in a low voice, "Master Zong really thinks that peace talks are meaningless?" ”
"Lord Wang. The situation has deteriorated to this point, and the rulers in the court are still inclined to peace talks. The anti-autumn soldiers were dismissed, and the Beijing division was empty. The Daimyo's Mansion is afraid of the enemy and does not fight, and it is a foregone conclusion that the Jin army will come to Kaifeng City again, so why should the prince throw himself into the net! Zong Ze said.
"Alas, Master Zong is right, but this king has the imperial order, and the royal family should share the worries of the country, how can he disobey the decree without authorization!" Zhao Ta sighed and said his 'bitterness', Zong Ze must have a purpose in keeping himself, although he didn't say it. But he vaguely felt that Zong Ze had been deeply disappointed in Zhao Huan's team, but he didn't know what he wanted to do, so he further probed.
"Lord, if the people beg hard not to let the prince go deep into the tiger's den, it is the will of the people, and there is a civil unrest that makes it difficult for the prince to go to Jinying for peace talks, this is the will of God, isn't it the will of heaven that the prince can stay in Cizhou to inherit the will of heaven and obey the will of the people?" Zong Ze said.
"This..."Zhao Ta was a little surprised, Zong Ze wouldn't want to learn from Zhao Pu's yellow robe back then!
"Lord Wang, you don't need to do anything. As long as you go to the Jiaying Shrine early tomorrow morning to offer incense and pray for blessings, the rest of the things will be left to the lower officials to do, you remember to stay away from Wang Shangshu! Zong Ze saw that Zhao Ta's mouth was loose, and immediately hit the railway while it was hot.
"Master Zong, don't be brutal in this matter. If you make a mistake, it will cause a big disaster! Zhao Ta suddenly figured it out, Zong Ze wanted to use public opinion to pressure the court and force the court to make concessions. He hurriedly said, now the court is behind the 'Fu Que Shangshu'. I have always been very vigilant about this kind of thing, and once it is exposed, it will be a big crime. It will also affect innocent people.
"Although the prince can rest assured, everything is borne by the lower officials, just wait for the good news!" Zong Ze thought that the prince was timid and afraid of things, and his heart was different, so he immediately took the matter down in a big way, and left without waiting for the prince to say goodbye...
Zhao Ta saw Zong Ze leaving, and his heart swelled with helplessness, although he had a prophet in his previous life, but in fact, everyone and everything was right and wrong, how could he know everything, and he still needed to see the essence of the matter through the details.
"See, you go to the postman and ask where the Jiaying Shrine is!" Zhao Ta thought for a moment and ordered to see Xidao.
"Second master, the Jiaying Shrine is in the north outside Cizhou City!" The effort didn't last long, and I came back to report on it.
"I see!" Zhao Ta said with a wry smile, the original appearance of history is gradually becoming clear, Zong Ze must have said the same thing to Zhao Gou tonight, and the scene that happened back then appeared in his mind, which may be the truth of the incident:
Zhao Gou and Wang Yun went out of the city to the Jiaying Shrine in the north of Cizhou to pay homage and burn incense. On the way, their group was stopped by the people of Cizhou, who mistakenly thought that the prince was coerced by Wang Yun to go to Jinying for peace talks. Thousands of people covered their roads and shouted, begging King Kang Zhao Gou not to go north, and immediately summoned soldiers and horses to help the capital. The elder knelt in front of Zhao Gouma and wept: "The people of Cizhou were originally the people of the Great Song Dynasty, how could the imperial court cede Cizhou to the gold thief?" How can the emperor bear to abandon my people? ”
As soon as these words came out, the crowd was even more angry, and everyone hugged Zhao Gou's horse and didn't let him go. "The king must not go north! In the past, some people said that the second prince valued faith and righteousness and asked King Su to escort the Jin soldiers across the river, but he has not returned so far. King Su has already been killed, why does the king still want to go? It must be more than lucky! ”
Zhao Gou and Wang Yun were all frightened. Wang Yun hurriedly shouted: "The king is going to the temple to burn incense, not to go north to Jinying." ”
At this time, someone identified Wang Yun: "This is the Wang Yun who wants to clear the wilderness." A shout of scolding immediately came from the crowd: "The person who wants to clear the wilderness must be a spy." Wang Yun immediately argued loudly with the people, but was rushed into the temple left and right.
When Zhao Gou came out after burning the incense, he saw the people's soldiers standing on both sides, Zhao Gou ordered Zong Ze to tell the people, and the people made a way, Zong Ze escorted him to leave quickly, but the people gathered around and did not want to disperse. Wang Yun was a step late, and when he went out of the temple gate, he found that his horse had been taken away, and he hurriedly ordered the servants to find it.
Finally got the horse back, just on the horse, a large group of people rushed up, and couldn't help but pull him off the horse, punch and hit, Wang Yun struggled desperately, a piece of scarf in his arms was pulled out, the color and style of this scarf are a bit like the kind used by the golden people.
"The headscarf of the Jin people!" There was an exclamation from the crowd.
"Sure enough, it's a spy!" Someone else shouted.
"Shoot him!" The emotions of the people were mobilized, and the angry people swarmed up, drowning Wang Yun in an instant, and when Zong Ze heard the news and turned back, he saw a corpse with blurred flesh and blood. The angry people then rushed into the post house, tore up the national letters, smashed the chariots and honor guards given to the Jin people, and looted the gold silks, until Zong Ze beheaded the leader to calm the situation.
Zhao Gou found a reason for this, and he stopped going north. gave Zhao Huan a letter: The people of Hebei were restless, the people of Cizhou killed Wang Yun, resolutely prevented themselves from going north, and after hearing that Yan Huan was inseparable from crossing the Daimyo's Mansion to the south, he had to rush back to Xiangzhou to listen to the holy ruling...
