He was panicking when there was a commotion at the city gate, and several officials with their guards and servants pushed away the people who were in the way and got in front of them.

"I've seen you."

The official at the head of the head, dressed in green robes, saluted everyone. Seeing that everyone was in chaos and returned the salute, he smiled and said: "Xia Guan is just a pusher, and he doesn't dare to be a courtesy for all of you." ”

Qin Hui was uneasy in his heart, because he asked, "Why did the Political Affairs Hall send someone over, but it was the official of the Imperial History Tower?" ”

The pusher just arched his hand and smiled: "Don't dare, the lower official is not from the Yushitai, it is the political hall that should be in charge." ”

"Oh?"

Qin Hui was doubting in his heart, but the official was full of smiles, and when he asked him again, he didn't answer, but he just urged the hall to arrive, and he was waiting.

The rest of the people also thought he was troublesome, so they only consulted endlessly, and at the moment He Su took the lead, and everyone followed behind the officer, and dozens of guards followed each other to clear the road.

Although there are three provinces, the prime minister is not necessarily the governor of the three provinces, and the ministries in the three provinces are not necessarily directors, and the subordinate officials do not necessarily do something because of their official positions.

For example, the secretary of the ministry does not care about personnel, and the secretary of the household department does not care about wealth. The real thing is to "send".

The dispatch officers all have: judgment, knowledge, power, straightness, examination, control hook, promotion, pointing, signing, supervision, and so on. Only by adding these words can one be regarded as a real officer. In order to centralize power, the emperors of the Song Dynasty often did not serve as their own officials, but took a humble petty official to serve as an important errand.

And only after serving as a political minister or participating in the governor's affairs, he entered the "capital hall", that is, the political affairs hall, became the prime minister, and held the authority of the country, which has never changed in the Song Dynasty for a hundred years.

Because of the national disaster, everything is simple, Zhao Huan issued an edict, and the officials in Chang'an should serve according to their own duties. And all government affairs are naturally adjudicated by the government affairs hall.

Such a lofty position does not make the office of the government hall any special.

Zhao Huan's palace did not add a single tile, and the political hall was only in the yamen of Zhixian County, not far from Zhao Huan's residence, and was slightly rebuilt from a row of wing rooms facing east.

When Qin Hui and the others entered from the main gate, they saw only a row of blue bricks and green tiles, white walls and low trees.

He Su shook his head and said: "The national disaster is like this, and the important land of the national pivot is also so simple. ”

When he said this, the rest of them were also embarrassed. The original government hall is in the Tokyo Imperial Palace, which is magnificent and magnificent, which is like here, and the hall of ordinary rich and noble people is not as good.

As he spoke, several ministers who were in charge of the ruling office came out one after another.

Without waiting for others to introduce them, everyone already knew that these old colleagues in front of them had already become the rulers.

At that moment, He Su took the lead, and everyone bowed with their fists and bowed to the prime ministers. In the Song system, although the prince is noble, he is still under the prime minister in terms of etiquette and treatment. Although the officials in front of him were all ministers of the DPRK and China in the past, they must not be exempt from courtesy at this time.

Seeing them bow and salute, because these people are also noble, Zhu Shengfei took the lead by the left servant and returned the half-salute to everyone.

After the salute was over, He Su and the others smiled, and they wanted to step up the steps to talk to the prime ministers.

But I saw a deacon step forward, stopped everyone, and said with a smile: "Everyone, wait a minute, Master Li is taking care of business, and he will come out after a while." ”

He Su and the others had to stop and no longer stepped forward.

Everyone felt that Li Gang's driving was too big, and they were unhappy in their hearts, but Li Gang was famous in the world, and even if he was unhappy in his heart, no one dared to speak out.

After a pillar of incense, everyone was anxious in their hearts, but they heard a burst of laughter from the room, and after a while, I saw Li Gang holding the hand of a middle-aged official, and he actually sent it all the way.

This official was also dressed in vermilion, and everyone looked at it, but they had no impression at all, and they didn't know each other.

When the official saw more than a dozen people waiting outside the hall, he was also stunned, and hurriedly greeted everyone, and then left.

Li Gang looked at everyone, but they were all old acquaintances of the DPRK and China that day.

He groaned in his heart, not knowing what to do. Jin Guo first had the intention of peace talks, and then released many officials in an ancient way. In addition to these senior officials who were sent to Chang'an, there were also a considerable number of ministers, who also had to be released one by one.

After discussing with the emperor, the ruling of the court and the central government had already reached a consensus, this must be the Jin people's strategy, the western soldiers were originally the elite of the Song Dynasty, and they were new victories, and they were sharp, and the Shaanxi and Hua prefectures were not easy to defend in the first place, plus the Jurchens were not good at defending the city, and the main force of the Jin army was newly defeated, plus the central government was easy to store, and it was impossible to start fighting with the main force of the Song army for a while.

In this case, it is better to make peace under the pretext of seeking peace, negotiate peace with Jingkang Tianzi, and cede the entire territory of Shaanxi. At the same time, it was possible to use the troops in the southeast, or at the same time to negotiate peace with the Emperor of Jingkang, to win over the Emperor of Jianyan, and to wait for the political problems of the upper echelons of the Jin Army to be resolved, the main force was recuperated, and the main force re-entered Shaanxi from Hedong, Henan and other places.

In the southeast, however, they were held back by the so-called peace talks, and as long as Jin Bing exerted a little pressure, he could ignore them.

"Although the ninth brother is considered to be the son of heaven immediately, he is actually very cowardly. If I am bent on fighting, he is afraid that he will lose the righteousness, but he is afraid that he will not dare to talk about peace. If I have the slightest intention of negotiating peace with the enemy country, then the Ninth Brother will never fight again. Even to make peace with the enemy before I do, it is not known. ”

Li Gang recalled the secret conversation with the emperor a few days ago, and felt a headache.

Although he did not fully agree with the emperor's analysis, he also understood that Zhao Gou, the son of Jianyan, was indeed not a British lord who was bent on war. If this is the case, then the Jin people took advantage of the current situation in the Song Dynasty to suppress the Jingkang Emperor of Shaanxi, Gansu, Sichuan and Xiang, but to the southeast.

What's more, these ministers who are bent on peace create public opinion, exert pressure on the emperor, and disrupt the government. And Jin Guo also supported them more and retreated first. Then, the morale of the army must be chaotic, and it is very difficult for the emperor to go where to go.

He frowned, only feeling that the Jurchens were sinister and cunning, and they were not barbarians who only knew how to fight and kill.

Fortunately, the emperor also knew that the ministers were flustered at this time, and specially summoned Li Gang the day before yesterday, and only said: "I am absolutely different from the past. It is said that if they don't return the roads in Hedong and Hebei, even if they do return it, I still want Yanyun, and if I get Yanyun, I will go straight to Shangjing, sweep Huanglong, and completely wipe out this trouble for the country! ”

The emperor had this policy, and Li Gang felt relieved.

In fact, when Zhao Huan talked to him, he only said that he was worried that Zhao Gou would use this to seek peace, but he did not express his deeper worries.

If Zhao Gou suddenly grew up, seized this opportunity, and issued an edict in succession, saying that he would never make peace with Jin Guoyan, and even killed and exiled a few officials who killed him in Yangzhou that day, then Zhao Huan at this time would be very embarrassed.

Jin Guo took the initiative to release the officials and took the initiative to sell the occupied Shaanxi prefectures, which indeed caused trouble to Zhao Huan to a considerable extent. As the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, it was impossible for him not to accept officials who were captured due to national disasters, regardless of whether the other party was in the main battle or the main peace that day, and it was impossible not to accept the city that the enemy took the initiative to give up.

And after accepting all these so-called "goodwills", in the hearts of the people of the world, the emperor and the main battle need to be scrutinized again.

Li Gang didn't fully understand the emperor's thoughts.

Although these officials in front of them had different political views, they were all captured by the enemy because of their hard work when the city of Tokyo was broken, and they were sent to the extreme edge of the northern country to suffer.

It is reasonable for him to be reasonable, and he can't be lazy at this time.

Because he saw the officials saluting him, Li Gang wanted to return the salute, but a small official behind him suddenly coughed and whispered to him: "According to the custom, the officials see that the Pingzhang political affairs are in the hall to participate in the ceremony, and the Pingzhang political affairs do not need to return the salute." Your Excellency, today is not only a political affair of Pingzhang, but also a military affairs of Pingzhang. ”

Li Gang was stunned, although he felt a little embarrassed, he had to stand up and accept the salute.

After everyone finished saluting, he smiled and walked down the stone steps, and bowed his hand to everyone: "You have not been seen for a long time, please enter the room and speak." ”
