Chapter 80: The Past Can Be Chased
said it casually, but Xie Liang and the others were suddenly surprised.
The emperor came back for more than two years, and did not send an envoy to the Jin country, only the last time the Jin people returned a lot of captured ministers, the two sides had a messenger contact, the emperor ordered someone to send some living utensils to Zhao Ji who was far away in the city of the five countries.
And for more than a year, the two sides fought to the death, the battle was non-stop, there was no contact at all, and the act of greeting and sending things was naturally impossible.
Today, the situation in the palace is strange, but the emperor suddenly mentioned sending someone to greet the emperor, and naturally everyone was very surprised.
Seeing that all the ministers were silent, Zhao Huan sneered, knowing that they must have also heard the rumors in the palace.
At the moment, he looked at everyone and asked, "What do you think?" ”
The ministers in front of them, Zhao Kaixinjin, Xie Liang and Zhang Suo and others are actually not very trusted by the emperor, unlike Zhao Ding and other cardinals, and now they are talking about the extremely sensitive topic of the separation of flesh and blood of the Heavenly Family, which is related to the tragic changes in the second year of Jingkang and the war and major events between the Jin and Song dynasties, how dare everyone speak indiscriminately.
After half a ring, Xie Liangfang said in advance: "Your Majesty has a deep relationship between father and son, and if you want to send someone to visit the emperor, you should also do it." ”
As soon as he spoke, others were relieved, and they also followed: "Yes, it is time to send someone to see the emperor's living." ”
Zhao Frame took the tea bowl presented by the chamberlain, gently blew off the floating leaves, and said leisurely: "Since all the secretaries think that it should be like this, who should be the best envoy?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the temple was even more dull than Shicai.
The Jin people have suffered repeated defeats, heavy casualties, and the situation between the two countries has been reversed by the pure Song people's losses, the Jin people's tiger and wolf nature, when the power was strong, often detained the Song envoys, and now they have suffered repeated losses, in case there is a mistake, the envoys are not just detained.
And even if your life is safe. was detained in the north for ten or eight years, drinking wind and sand in the ice and snow, but it was really bitter.
In this way, in front of everyone, recommending others to go to Beijing on business, or even running to the Five Kingdoms City, if you offend people to death, and you don't know your own wishes, if you recommend it, you pretend to be sick and excuse yourself. Or even resign and run away, it is better to remain silent for now than to eat and fall on both sides at that time.
As for self-recommendation, it is even more difficult to mention.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhao Huan sneered: "My father and son were captured back then, and they were in the snow and ice in Tsing Yi and hat, and when they arrived in the five countries, they were forced to farm by themselves, carrying water, fertilizing, watering, dung, and catching insects, and all kinds of sufferings were countless. Naturally, I can't go in person as a person, so why don't you want to choose a candidate who shares my worries? ”
The palace is narrow, and there are only dozens of ministers in front of them, all of whom are supreme rulers or privy councillors, as well as the heads of some important departments, and at this time, everyone heard the emperor's plan to describe the situation in the north that day, and thought of digging soil in the ice and snow with the supreme son of heaven and enduring the harsh criticism and abuse of the Jin people, but they couldn't help but kneel down, and said in their mouths: "The ministers are a capital crime." I am willing to serve Your Majesty as an envoy. ”
"Well, in today's hall, there are still all of them reprinted by the Literature Network.'N new selection and appointment, it is better than the second year of Jingkang!"
Zhao Huan stood up, raised his eyes and looked outside the hall, only to see the dark clouds in the sky in the distance. Shuo Feng Yan slapped the door of the palace, there seemed to be tears in his eyes, and he murmured: "I came out of the Jin camp to negotiate peace that day, and I was insulted by the Jin people, and I once said: The prime minister mistook my father and son. The people of the capital greeted each other on both sides of the road, and they were all in tears when they heard the words. ”
And they saw that they were all prostrate and could not speak. Some people were even more shocked, and a few ministers who had experienced the events of the day actually began to cry.
Zhao Huan's heart was unwavering, and what he was talking about was just the past he had heard. For I did not devote myself to it, but I will speak today. It's just that it is better than talking about the responsibility of the day, and after the reprimand, he has to compile a book and publish it all over the world to wash away his own responsibility in the second year of Jingkang, this matter should have been carried out a long time ago, but Zhao Huan didn't care too much about the past, and he didn't think of himself as the coward in the second year of Jingkang, and now the rumors are spreading, and he understands that the second year of Jingkang has been closely connected with himself, and the people of that day and him today are inseparable.
At that moment, he said sharply: "On that day, the minister, the secretary of the military department looted the people's wealth to help the enemy army, and the prime minister did not ask for peace, and the privy councillor sent the emperor to flee south, and my emperor Geng Nanzhong was the most respected by me, and he was also loyal to me, and the result was that he did not dare to speak of war!" There is a saying in the market today that I am resolute and dare to fight today, which is absolutely different from back then, in fact, I have great power in my hands, and I am promoted to dare to fight ministers, and I am determined to resist the enemy to the end. ”
When he said this, he was really angry and incomprehensible, half of the death of the Northern Song Dynasty was due to the emperor's incompetence and cowardice, and the other half was indeed counted on those shameless and incompetent ministers. Full of Confucian scriptures, once needed, the soles of the feet are oiled, and the service of the enemy is barbarian, even if the integrity is not lost, there are many people who are not capable, and those who are truly loyal and honest and brave and brave and dare to fight, can not be one of the hundred.
The emperor chose his envoys, and when he talked about the second year of Jingkang, his tone was already more and more severe, and everyone was still puzzled, but at this time, he finally understood that he was explaining the affairs of the year.
At that moment, they all replied: "The minister was incompetent that day, misled the country and harmed the people, please Your Majesty punish him severely." ”
"That's it." Zhao Huan waved his hand back to his seat, his tone had turned calm, and he only looked at everyone: "Zhu Qing got up and spoke." ”
Everyone got up according to the order, but Yu Yunwen took a step forward and said to Zhao Huan: "The minister is willing to send an envoy on behalf of the sky, please let Your Majesty follow the permission." ”
Zhao Huan glanced at him, and saw that the other party's eyes were blazing, and he did not back down, obviously out of sincerity, and everyone behind him was equally resolute, but more, but they turned their heads to avoid.
He is not indignant, he is from an ordinary background, and he can naturally understand the thoughts of ordinary people who seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
It is said that heroes are different from ordinary people, and this is the point.
At the moment, he smiled at Yu Yunwen and said: "There is another change in the Jin soldiers in the area of Henan Mansion, you followed me to fight in person that day, and you know the battlefield situation better than others, now Zhang Jun is still in front, Zhao Ding is also in Zhangguan and has not returned, I need someone to help, Qing must not stay away." ”
Persuading Yu Yunwen down, Zhao Huan looked at the ministers who took the initiative to request an envoy, and after a long time, he said: "Han Qing can be an envoy." ”
As soon as these words came out, Han Xiao, who was named by him, turned pale as usual, and only stepped forward and bowed, and said nothing else. Behind him, there were obviously many people who breathed a sigh of relief, and the sound of exhalation could be faintly heard.
Zhao Huan smiled secretly in his heart, and said to Han Xiao with a deep groan: Xun, Qing is a bachelor of the Ruiming Palace, and he signed the Privy Council with him, which is no longer comparable to ordinary ministers, and it is expected that the Jin people will not be particularly difficult. ”
Before he finished speaking, Han Xiao said: "Even if the Jin people are in trouble, as long as the minister can see the emperor and ask about his life, he will not disgrace his life, please rest assured, Your Majesty." ”
Seeing Zhao Huan's smile on his face, he asked again: "If the Jin people negotiate peace, what should the ministers do?" If there is a word to return to the emperor in the terms of peace, what should the ministers do, please show your majesty. ”
Zhao Huan chose this person because when he was in order to give things, he was often ordered to envoy to Liao, and he was also a senior minister who was familiar with diplomatic affairs.
Seeing that the other party was waiting for his answer, Zhao Huan had a headache.
If you don't make a move and ignore Zhao Ji's life and death, it is obviously impossible to extinguish this demonic atmosphere, and once you send an envoy, the development of things may not be satisfactory.
With Zhao Huan's meaning, it is naturally best for Zhao Ji to die in the north of the country, so as not to come back and cause chaos. At this time, the development trajectory of history is far different from the official history, what is the idea of the Jin people, but at this time he is ignorant, once the messenger goes, what kind of results will be produced, he is not sure at all.
At that moment, he had to reply in a deep voice: "If the other party mentions it, I only ask him: return the lost land of my Great Song Dynasty, return all the looted money and utensils, and return Youyan, the two countries can only make peace with the Great Wall as the boundary and as a country of brothers." If not, there is no negotiation. ”
"Yes, the minister obeyed the order, and said it to Jin Renguan like this."
This order is the same as Zhao Huan's attitude all along, and the ministers of the palace, who are also the main war officials of the DPRK and China personally selected by him, have no doubt about such a disposition, and all agree with it.
“… This book is reprinted from the literary network.... As for the emperor, the people of Xiaoyu Jin knew that I was willing to redeem it with gold and silver in order to present the emperor's return to the south. And if the emperor comes to threaten peace, you don't have to pay attention to it. ”
This is also reasonable, and he finally has an explanation for both inside and outside, and it is also the result of Zhao Huan's hard thinking.
According to his mastery of historical knowledge, since the death of Wanyan Zongwang, although the upper echelons of the Jin Kingdom had plans to release Zhao Ji, they have never implemented it. And after the puppet Qi was established, in order to let this puppet dynasty work with peace of mind, it was even more impossible to release the emperor of the Song Dynasty or the clan who were captured that day.
And to negotiate peace with the issue of Zhao Ji's return to the south, even if Zhao Huan vetoed it, the people of the world would never say anything, because although he tried to welcome Zhao Ji back on the surface, most of them still had no result, so naturally everyone was happy.
In this way, since the Shangyuan Festival, Zhao Huan first used Zhe Yanshi to clean up the inner palace, and then officially announced the edict to send envoys to visit the Emperor Zhao Ji, and at the same time created public opinion, and most of the things in the second year of Jingkang were put on his subordinates, and he shirked most of his own responsibilities, and at the same time published the edict to the world to correct the audio-visual.
With a number of prongs, the harem was solemn for a while, and no one dared to talk nonsense, and the people of the government and the opposition also praised him for preparing to welcome back the emperor. And Yu Ping, Fei Lun and others are also strictly inspected, although they can't strictly prohibit people from talking in the world, this undercurrent is gradually disappearing.
In February of the sixth year of Jingkang, the envoy was ready, and he was already on the road, and there was a lot of discussion in Chang'an City, but it was Han Xiao's stomach that sent the envoy to Beijing, what was the result, and the judgment of the emperor's negligence was no longer a hot topic of discussion in secret.
