Chapter 126: The Storm in Beijing

When Zhao Heng congratulated him silently, the huge war machine of the entire Song Dynasty had been running for a long time. A few days later, after he, Yu Yunwen and others decided on the entire battle plan, one after another orders were quickly issued by the cardinal in accordance with the emperor's edict, first under the command of each army, and then by the command of each division.

While the Song army was in full swing preparing for this big battle, the Jin State's reaction was slow and slow, or rather, there was no corresponding reaction at all.

The Song Dynasty was preparing for political reforms, and the information that caused a great upheaval had just been transmitted to Shangjing.

In the face of possible civil strife in the Song Dynasty, the whole Jin Kingdom naturally celebrated and rejoiced.

In fact, the lord and faction of the Jin State led by Wanyan Zongfu were most afraid of Zhao Huan, who seemed to have no last resort. If Yan Chang and others want to control the government and covet peace and prosperity, but Wanyan Zongfu has seen the terrible thing about Zhao Huan in the battlefields of Fuping and Huangguan, he has a deep mind, although he is not on the battlefield, he has a rare talent in politics, plus he is stable and self-controlled, he is very popular among the Jurchen nobles, and he is also very respectful of this uncle.

In this way, the Lord and the faction originally firmly grasped the development of the situation, and also took credit for Zhao Huan's cessation of troops and the war that began in the second half of the sixth year of Jingkang.

In the political changes caused by Zhao Huan in the seventh year of Jingkang, the upper echelons of the Jin State were also extremely happy.

If there is civil strife in the Song Dynasty, with Zhao Huan's prestige and ability, he can naturally be forcibly suppressed. However, in this way, there will inevitably be inexplicable changes within the seemingly monolithic Song Dynasty, and as long as the Jin State grasps this change, strikes at the Song army on local battlefields, and makes more efforts in politics and diplomacy, then the goal of the two countries negotiating peace through a formal treaty will definitely be achieved.

Wanyan Zongfu ranked fifth, and among the many sons of Taizu, the fourth son, Wanyan Zongwang, was the most popular, and he was indeed far superior to ordinary people in terms of literary talent and martial arts. It can be said that in the battle of Jin Taizu to destroy Liao, Wanyan Zongwang and Zonghan, as well as Wanyan Lou Room and others, are the real talents of generals and have made great achievements.

Among the current Jurchen aristocracy, Zong is supplemented by political talent. It is slightly not his strength, and Zong Bi is good at the command promotion of local battlefields, and the overall situation is mainly based on war, which is extremely reckless, and he has also suffered a lot of losses in history, and has fought many big defeats. As for Zong Han, who is already dying, it is difficult to manage military and political affairs anymore, and Taizu's brother Yinggedi's son, Deputy Marshal Zuo and King Wan Yanchang of Lu, is just a fierce general. At this time, it has become arrogant and degenerate. is only interested in discussion and pleasure, and the rest of Zong Pan, Zong Jun, Zong Jun and others also follow him. The Lord's peace faction is so powerful. actually squeezed Zong Bi, who was bent on the main battle, out of the court, and went to Qizhou, Hebei to set up a Shangshu Xingtai, concentrating on presiding over military affairs, and by Zong Bi's side, he arranged for Wing Wang Wanyan and others to monitor him in case he supported the army and made trouble.

At the end of March and the beginning of April in the seventh year of Jingkang, even Guanzhong was already covered with new green, and the spring was melting. In the northeast of this era, there were still few traces of Han people, and the Han officials who surrendered to the Jin State generally lived in Shangjing It was naturally an honor, and this kind of bone-chilling cold made it difficult for ordinary Han people to bear.

In Wanyan Zongfu's mansion, there was no cold air outside. Zongfu is not as greedy for pleasure as Wan Yanchang and others, but after all, he is the deputy marshal Zongwang, and the mansion is naturally built by someone. In the past few years, the mansions of the kings of the clan have been built bigger and bigger, and the decoration has become more and more exquisite and beautiful, and Zongfu is not luxurious, but the mansion is built firmly and thickly, like a military fortress, many places in the mansion have built fire pits and dragons, and the windows are mostly built with mezzanine, and can be lit, and can avoid the cold, at this time the weather is very warm for the Jurchens who were born in the curtain, and Zongfu knows that most of the Han officials are afraid of the cold, and he is powerful, so in the various houses where the officials are waiting to be summoned, many people are ordered to light the brazier and burn the fire pit, So that when the Han officials waited, they would not have to get cold.

Since Zongfu grasped the power, because the new lord of the country is young, he can't manage the government at all, most of the country's major policies fall into his hands, Zongfu since the defeat of Huangguan, the spirit is greatly damaged, and after returning to Beijing after being sick, he has strengthened his body to take care of the national affairs, and in the past two years, many of the schemes against Zhao Huan are mostly from his orders.

In their early years, the Jurchens were swept by the sky, fishing and hunting, and although their bodies were strong, it was actually difficult for most of them to live long, even if they were Jurchen nobles. After Zongfu's body suffered a big loss, in recent years, for the sake of the clan's plan, he has actually reached the point of running out of oil and lamps, and in the seventh year of Jingkang, in March of the first year of Tianjia, Zongfu's body has been difficult to support, and the more serious his illness is, the more serious the open and secret battles around him become.

By the time of April of the seventh year of Jingkang, Zongfu had already reported several times that he was critically ill, and at this time, not only did all the forces from all parties send people to visit, but he also personally drove and came to visit Zongfu's mansion many times. In this way, Sosuke's serious illness is difficult to treat, and it has become a well-known fact that it is difficult to recur.

Zong Fu himself naturally can't afford it, he is young, Zong Han claims to be old, and he has not fought for many years, but he also received the title of generalissimo of Shangshu Xingtai, compared with competing for power on the battlefield, this Sticky Han King in the mouth of the Song Dynasty, his unpredictable thoughts really made him difficult to rest assured.

In addition, although the Song people were in trouble politically, with Zong Bi's sense of smell, they had long realized that the posture ahead was wrong, and they wrote many times, asking Zong Fu and others to pay attention. Although Sosuke didn't like Zongbi's constraints, he also knew that Zongbi was the most reliable military talent in the clan, and Zongfu also attached great importance to his judgment, so on the occasion of the dying of King Bingzheng Zong, all kinds of people in the room, with all kinds of different thoughts, waited for him to make all kinds of decisions that could affect the course of history at the last moment of his life.

Zong Han has a special identity, he is only afraid of his henchman Han official, Shangshu Xingtai Zuo Cheng Gao Qingyi came to visit Zong Fu, Zong Fu treated him differently from others, he actually supported his sick body, half leaned on the bed, and said warmly to Gao Qingyi: "I must not be able to afford it, and I can't stand it for a few days, go back and tell your king, after I go, he should do good." ”

What he said was vague, Zong Han was only the nephew of Taizu, neither belonged to the camp of the Taizu brothers, nor was he subordinate to Taizong, plus he had great military achievements, and he was also one of the candidates who knew how to be very strong at that time, Zongfu was about to die at this time, but how did Zong Han "do it well?" Gao Qingyi didn't think about it so much, or rather, he didn't notice Zongfudi's expression, but with excitement on his face, he replied to Zongfu: "The king's body has always been healthy, but now he is just a little cold!" When the weather gets warmer, it will definitely get better. As for the marshal of my family, he is also sick and weak, and I am afraid that he will not be able to do anything. ”

When he said this, he was already decent, and Zongfu stared at him closely, and he relaxed a little, who expected to hear him continue: "However, the ministers often advise the king, although the world has His Majesty the ancestor, but the descendants of the clan have the responsibility to keep it, and when the son is young today, how can the king not care about foreign affairs?" ”

"Well, you're really loyal!"

Zongfu gasped, and really praised Gao Qingyi a few words, and when this person resigned, Zongfu lay weakly, only feeling sore, sweeping the people under the bed, but he tried to sit up.

He smiled reluctantly and said to a Han official in a red robe: "Han Xianxiang, you also came to visit me, this is too heartfelt." ”

Han Qi was Zong Bi's confidant, Zong Fu was critically ill, Zong Bi felt that the Song army was acting strangely, and did not dare to leave the Hebei Xingtai station without permission, and sent others to come, Zong Bi was not at ease, so he had to send this henchman to come, and Han Qi was the ninth grandson of the famous Hanchen Han Zhigu, who was originally an official in Liao, and Liao died to invest in gold, he was honest and honest, and he was born in a big family, and his prestige was very heavy.

Han Qixian is not like others, lying comforting, although he works for a different race, he is indeed a more traditional Confucian minister, seeing that Zong Fu is struggling to support, he frowned and said: "The king doesn't have to be polite to me, if you have any orders, just lie down and say, no matter what, the minister will definitely live up to the king's trust, and His Royal Highness King Shen will definitely not." ”

When he said this, he didn't mean to avoid it, he treated the other party as if he was a dead man, and there were many Hanchen in the seat, and when he heard him say this, he couldn't help but shake his head and frown.

Zongfu didn't care, and Yan Chang and the others in the audience didn't care either. On the contrary, compared with those Hanchens with beautiful rhetoric, Han Qixian, who rarely embellishes his own semantics, makes these Jurchen men only feel that he is an outlier among the Han people, and he is knowledgeable, and his character is the same as that of the Jurchens, straightforward and honest.

Zongfu wanted to laugh, but he only whispered "hehe" twice, and pointed his hand at Han Qixian and smiled:

"Hyun-sang really treated me like a dead man!"

He had the heart to sit up and speak, his waist was straight, he was full of pride, and his originally thin body was full of majesty in the blink of an eye.

It's a pity that people who have been sick for a long time and are dying have no strength to spare, and they are already coughing and wheezing when they only stand up at the waist.

After the servants hurriedly stepped forward and settled Zongfu again, Zongfu sighed and said to Han Qixian: "You go, how about your King Shen, I have written the book myself, and you will bring it back."

"Yes, then the minister will retire."

Han Qixian knew that Zongfu must still have important matters to entrust to the kings of these clans in front of him, and it was not suitable for him to be a Hanchen, so he immediately got up and bowed to Zongfu and said goodbye.

He didn't seem to be in the right place, but when he was about to leave the door, he finally let out a long sigh, and then walked away.

"Korean enterprises first, there are still conscientious ones."

Sosuke looked at his back and sighed leisurely.
