Chapter 16: The Qi Family
Zhao Ta thought about his father's words, and wanted to restore that when he also scored, now the two of them, one is Longyou Shoal, and the other is Tiger Falling Pingyang, what else do they have to fight with Zhao Huan, who holds power? If you move without permission, wouldn't that be looking for death! He can only move out of the father's love and filial piety, and the set of brotherly friendship is perfunctory first, but no one seems to care about life and death and interests, and family affection is as fragile as a piece of papyrus...
As soon as Zhao Huan came out of Longde Palace, he immediately ordered the Emperor Taishang's daily life, words and deeds to be promoted to Longde Palace, and he also said that he was always concerned about his father's health and safety, but in fact, he had been strictly controlled. And Zhao Ta has made him unbearable, ready to find an opportunity to take him down, and the province will jump in the court!
On October 14, Zhao Huan issued an order to recall the seed master Dao, and on the 16th, appointed Fan Ne as the Xuanfu envoy of Hebei and Hedong, and on the same day, Western Xia sent heavy troops to attack Lingzhou. And Wang Yun, the secretary of the criminal department who sent the envoy to the Jin camp, also sent back the news to Tokyo, saying that the Jin people had promised not to cede the three towns again, and as long as the taxes of the three towns were handed over to the Jin State, they could dismiss the army and let them send the prince to talk quickly.
When the news came, the main peace faction led by Geng Nanzhong and Tang Ke was jubilant, and Zhao Huan immediately asked King Kang Zhao Gou to prepare to go to the Zhending Jin Camp. Zhao Ta was shocked, the above table said that this is the Jin people to use the peace talks as a cover, in fact, they want to break the heart of our Great Song Dynasty resistance, there is no sincerity in the peace talks, it is to talk and attack, not to talk about it will also attack, and the reinforcements should be sent to rescue the real decision at the moment, instead of talking with the Jin people, it will only be empty in the end.
Zhao Huan looked at his brother's recital, and muttered again, although he was diligent, he was not capable enough, he procrastinated, and lacked assertiveness. Since the day he ascended the throne, he has been torn between the main battle of the DPRK and China, the main war, and the two major factions. Sometimes it's the main battle faction, sometimes it's the main peace faction.
No matter which faction speaks, he can hear the reason. I just can't get my own idea. The consequence is that they often agree with one faction of opinions, but after listening to the opinions of the other faction. immediately changed his attitude, for the same thing, he can change every few days, sometimes even several times a day, and live a chameleon!
The emperor's attitude suddenly became ambiguous and hesitant, and Geng Nanzhong was anxious, and after he asked to see him, he pointed out that King Yan was just buying people's hearts and wanted to raise his prestige among his brothers in order to increase his influence. This is very dangerous, and he must not be allowed to succeed, and it is only right that peace talks should be held as soon as possible. Zhao Huan listened and swayed over, and the next day he sent Zhao Ta out of Beijing to Zhending, and Zhao Ta learned that it was too late!
But things are so interesting, before Zhao Gou walked out of the capital, Wang Yun hurried back from Zhending Mansion, saying that the Jin army had changed his mind and had to get the three towns. Otherwise, capture Bianjing. Sure enough, the matter was said by Zhao Ta again, but Zhao Huan was disappointed, because for the Song Dynasty. It is the rule of the ancestors that the indemnity cannot be beaten, but there is no precedent for defeating and ceding land, and if you don't do it, you will leave a thousand years of infamy. He thought about it, but he still couldn't pay attention. Only for the meeting!
The next day, Zhao Huan convened hundreds of civil and military officials in the Yanhe Hall to discuss the cession of the three towns. The meeting has just begun. Wang Yun, the secretary of the criminal department who had just returned from Zhending, persuaded the emperor to cede the land in exchange for the withdrawal of the Jin army, saying that although the city wall of Tokyo was magnificent and picturesque, the city wall of Zhending was almost twice as tall as the city wall of Tokyo. When the Jin soldiers attacked Zhendingfu, I watched the battle, and I saw with my own eyes that the city was breached in a short time. The defense of Tokyo City may not be able to stop the attack of the Jin soldiers. Zhao Huan listened, and the people and gods fought and stopped talking.
"Your Majesty, the Jin army is getting tighter and tighter, we can't wait any longer, the only way to cede the three towns is feasible!" Geng Nanzhong came out of the queue and said.
"No, it is a shame for a country to pay compensation for land cession, and it is absolutely impossible!" At this time, Qin Hui stood up and said, "The Jin people are insatiable, and they can only give Yanshan all the way to cut the land, and they must not cede Taiyuan, and the Jin people are cunning, and the capital must strengthen its garrison and not slacken to prevent the Jin army from breaking the contract!" ”
Zhao Ta had a strange feeling in his heart when he heard this, people are really wonderful things, Qin Hui at this moment can definitely be regarded as a hardcore main battle faction, why did he become a surrender faction that had been stinking for thousands of years after being arrested? Is it providence, or is it unpredictable!
"Your Majesty, whether to send an envoy to talk again, in addition to giving the three towns tax money, I can give gold silk again, the gold people are greedy, they will agree, if not, I can choose the emperor and Jin He, in order to tie the eternal good!" Seeing that the emperor was still hesitating, Tang Ke came out of the column and said.
"Oh, if you can rest the soldiers with an emperor, it is also a good thing!" Zhao Huan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said out.
"Donald Lao'er, what are your intentions?" Tang Ke saw that the emperor was overjoyed, and he knew that the emperor was on the road, and just wanted to discuss it in detail, he heard someone shouting behind him.
"King Yan, this official is for the sake of the community, and there is no malice, you... What are you going to do? Tang Ke looked back and saw that it was King Yan, he argued, but saw King Yan pick up the wat board in his hand and smash it over, so frightened that he hugged his head and retreated.
"Bastards, you people still don't think I'm a deep royal person, the prince sent them to the gold camp one by one, and now I want to fight the emperor's idea, do you want to send my Zhao family's descendants to the Jin people, you are good emperors!" Zhao Ta chased after him with his fists, and everyone dodged one after another, scolding in their hearts, why don't you have a long memory, why was Lao Geng beaten, isn't it just a matter of sending the prince as a hostage, and now you are mentioning and kissing in front of him, not looking for a beating!
"King Yan, don't be rude, what kind of system will you become by chasing and beating the important ministers of the country above the court!" Zhao Huan slapped the throne and said angrily, this King Yan simply treats the court as a schoolyard, and beats people with his fists at every turn, it seems that he really can't keep him.
"If it is for the country, as long as the eldest brother gives an order, I am willing to fight with the Jurchens to the end, and it is not a pity to die, because I am dying for the dignity of my family and the people of my country, I am worth dying and deserving of my death!" Zhao Ta stopped and said to Lu Shang, "Big brother, as the saying goes, 'family and country are all over the world', there is no country without home!" You are the king of a country, the head of a family, the eldest brother of our brothers and sisters! But again and again he gave his own brother to the Jin country as a hostage, and today he wants to give his sister as a gift to the Jin people, which not only chills the hearts of the brothers, but also chills the hearts of the people of the world. ”
Zhao Ta said, the hall was silent, these ministers are full of poetry and books, self-proclaimed as the children of saints, with the responsibility of 'self-cultivation and Qi family governing the country and leveling the world', but when the matter comes, they do this kind of villain thing, and the roar of King Yan is like a stick on the head and knocks them all out...
