Li Gang is also an unlucky egg, he has only been in the office for 30 years, but he caught up with the emperors of the three dynasties, but two of them stepped down halfway, and he was ordered to persuade the two abdicated emperors not to try to restore the throne. Today, he saw that Zhao Huan once again showed his desire to reset the throne, it seemed that the soft measures in front of him had not worked, and seeing that he was about to enter Gyeonggi, he simply made his words clear.

Li Gang started from the first time when the Jin army went south and the emperor fled in a hurry and handed over the throne to Zhao Huan, and counted the mistakes during his reign. Geng Nanzhong, Zhang Bangchang and other capitulation factions were appointed to take charge of the government, ignoring the calls of the government and the opposition to resist Jin, and blindly retreated and compromised the Jurchens, resulting in the loss of the country, and the payment of huge indemnities, which brought great disasters to the country and the people. But after the war, he didn't think about reorganizing the armament war, and was deceived by a peace agreement, disbanded the Qin Wang army, and forced away Zhao Ta, the king of Qin, who was accustomed to war.

Later, he violated Taizu's ancestral motto of 'not killing scholars', and killed and deposed Cai Jing, Zhu Mian and others, although the main purpose was to consolidate the throne and vent personal anger, but in any case, it was a very happy thing. It is a bit too much to deceive the Emperor Taishang who was stranded in the southeast and imprison him, so that the father and son lose harmony, which is contrary to the national policy of the Great Song Dynasty to govern the country with benevolence and filial piety. After getting rid of the traitors in the DPRK and China, he did not take the opportunity to rectify the rule of officials, but simply replaced him with another group of philistine people, so that the government was sluggish and the internal fighting continued, and he was narrow-minded and could not tolerate people, so he had to change the prime minister like a marquee, which made the country even more chaotic.

The endless infighting deprived the Great Song of a two-year respite, so that the Jin army did nothing when it went south for the second time, and soon lost most of the Lianghe and Hedong regions, allowing the Jin army to come to the city again, but there was no general in the city to lead the army. Defenders of the city. And Zhao Huan's indecision caused him to constantly swing between the war and peace, which finally led to the loss of Bianjing. The father and son, the emperor and his family were captured, and the century-old savings of the Great Song Dynasty were looted. But the ministers he appointed were very few of them. The rest became accomplices of the Jurchens, betraying him and the royal family.

In the face of Li Gang's accusations, although Zhao Huan knew that what he said was true, he was still annoyed and angry, and defended himself, saying that when he succeeded to the throne, the Great Song Dynasty was already a mess, and the elite soldiers were lost in the battle of Liao. Ceding the Three Towns himself was not happy. Under the fierce conquest that lasted for more than ten years, the people had no food every other day, and the treasury was empty, how could the army of King Qin afford it. And the chaos in the DPRK and China has been going on for a long time, if he hadn't gotten rid of Cai Jing and others, I don't know what Lu Dao would have become in the future. He took the initiative to go out of the city just to save the people of the Great Song Dynasty from the fire, but who knew that the Jurchens of Ludao did not count and took him away.

Of course, Li Gang would not agree with Zhao Huan's statement. The current emperor returned from the northwest under the circumstances of the fall of the Central Plains, the two emperors hunting in the north, the establishment of the pseudo-Chu, and the pressure of the strong enemy, and he defeated the Jin army with his courage and wisdom. restored the land and rescued the Emperor Taishang and a number of clans, ministers and people. and sent troops to attack Bianjing, abolished the pseudo-Chu, and eradicated the traitors. The Yellow River defense line was rebuilt.

After ascending the throne by the edict of the emperor, the emperor sent troops to exterminate the bandits and rebuild the forbidden army. The opportunity to rectify the rule of officials has solved the shortcomings of redundant officials and redundant soldiers that have plagued the Great Song Dynasty for a hundred years. Then open the sea and build a port to open up overseas trade. Agriculture-oriented, encourage industry and commerce. The increase in taxes has left the treasury surplus in two years, and now it is not only full of money, but also full even if the state government closes its position.

With military and economic means to the outside world, forced the Western Xia to be sincerely attached, Dali and Goryeo called Tibet, hundreds of overseas countries came to the dynasty, the Jin State had to seek peace and self-protection, the Great Song Dynasty not only restored the country, but also recovered the sixteen states of Yanyun, expanding the land for thousands of miles. Now the Great Song Dynasty is rich and strong, the politics are clear, the people are happy, the royal father is filial piety, the brothers are harmonious, and the Zhongxing has been achieved in ten years, and the soft and hard power is far greater than the previous dynasties since the founding of the Song Dynasty, and the foundation for realizing all this is far less than when Zhao Huan succeeded to the throne.

"Didn't this king do good things for the country and the people back then? I punish traitors, punish corrupt officials, and appoint virtuous ministers, Li Xiang, if you don't have this king, can you have today's status? I also want to be a good emperor and make the Great Song Dynasty prosperous and strong, but God is unfair to me! Zhao Huan erupted when he heard Li Gang's words, and shouted with all his might. He has also done a lot of good things for the people of the Great Song Dynasty and promoted many officials, but now everyone has abandoned him, and even the prime minister he once appointed is disdainful of what he has done

He couldn't figure it out, but the people and courtiers knew very well that their choice to support Zhao Ta as emperor now was by no means ungrateful, let alone crossing the river and tearing down the bridge. Because everyone rationally realizes that if the Great Song Dynasty is in the strongest situation, even if Zhao Ji gives way for ten years, with Zhao Huan's prudence, he will definitely be able to become the king of a country, and the Great Song Dynasty will not move forward again, but it will not retreat much, and it will not fall to the point of losing the country.

"Lord Wang, the times create heroes, it's not that God didn't give you a chance, but you didn't grasp it and missed the opportunity to become a generation of Ming Jun!" Li Gang looked at the 'grief-grieved' Zhao Huan and shook his head and said.

At a time when foreign enemies invaded and the country was ruined, both the Great Song Dynasty and the people needed a strong leader. And Zhao Ta was born at the right time, he is a very courageous person, who can fight habitually, is not afraid of life and death, is not afraid of strong enemies, and has the courage to challenge adversity, so history chose him, and at the critical juncture of the historical crisis in the Great Song Dynasty, he became the person who was expected by everyone, shouldering the role of saving the Great Song Dynasty and saving the people.

Now the Great Song Dynasty has stabilized the situation after several wars, but the crisis of the strong enemy is still alive, and the war with the Jurchens may break out again at any time. No one will choose a person who is helpless in the face of the crisis and cannot even protect himself to lead the Great Song Dynasty again. Instead, he hoped that an emperor who had saved the Great Song Dynasty from the brink of extinction, made the Great Song Dynasty rise again, and could bring himself a peaceful and prosperous life would always sit on the throne.

"The times make heroes...... Zhao Huan muttered, his face twitched a few times, these words have never been said to him, in the countless sleepless nights in the Five Kingdoms City, he also thought about the problem of how he ended up, but he often blamed the problem on the mediocrity of the emperor, the incompetence of the officials, the degeneration of the army, and even the greed and barbarism of the Jurchens, but he never found the reason from himself.

"Lord Wang, the current emperor is wise and heroic, governs the country well, and is supported by all parties, and he is a rare Ming monarch. He wants to give way to you for the sake of brotherhood, but can you do better than him! Li Gang said leisurely.

"The second child is a hypocrite, he is not because he cares about brotherhood, but because his throne is not coming from the right way, and he is worried that the government and the opposition will not accept it after I come back, so he was forced to make a decision!" Zhao Huan said indignantly.

"The prince's words are wrong!" Li Gang was a little annoyed that Zhao Huan was so obsessed, "The prince remembers the election of the prince during the Zhenghe period, and you, the emperor and King Jia are all the princes." King Jia was supported by Cai Jing and Liang Shicheng, two bigwigs in the court; Today, the emperor has a queen mother in the inner court, and Tong Guan and Zheng Juzhong echo in the outer court; But the prince is isolated, only the identity of the eldest son, the situation is the most unfavorable for you, but the result is that you were able to enter the East Palace, why the prince knows best! ”

"Hmph, this is exactly its hypocrisy, he knows that he is not the opponent of King Jia and this king, and he turns to support me to get strong reinforcements, for the sake of gaining benefits in the future!" Zhao Huan refused to admit that the position of crown prince was given to him by Zhao Ta, and argued strongly.

"Hehe, what benefits did the emperor get from the prince?" Li Gang was angry and asked, "After the prince came to the dynasty, did he recall the emperor who led the army to block Zonghan's southward movement to Hedong and relieve the siege of Taiyuan to be idle in Beijing?" Does it count as ordering the emperor to go to the Golden Camp as a hostage? Is it okay to force the emperor to cheat to death, leave Beijing and leave the northwest......"

"Don't say it again, he has long been disobedient to raising private soldiers in the northwest, and this king had to do it as a last resort at that time!" Zhao Huan said with a blushing face.

"Disobedient? When the old minister once relieved the siege of Taiyuan with the Holy Ming, the emperor waved his arms in the northwest and followed tens of thousands; There were no less than tens of thousands of followers on the way out of the pledge camp, and they were restrained by it to repel the 100,000 army of Hanli. If he really has the heart of disobedience, he is afraid that no one will be able to defeat him when he waives his troops into Beijing, and the throne is also within reach! Li Gang also said fiercely.

"Why was he able to snatch the Emperor Taishang and the Queen Mother out of the golden camp halfway when the king was hunting in the north, but he refused to save the king from trouble, which shows that he has already had the intention of usurping the throne!" Li Gang's words were like sharp knives piercing his soft underbelly, and Zhao Huan waved his arms in annoyance and shouted.

"The situation on the battlefield is changeable, and it is already quite difficult for the emperor to concentrate his forces to attack his way, so how can he think of which golden army the emperor is in. Rescued Empress Taishang, the emperor had divided his troops to pursue, but Zonghan had already sent the prince across the Baigou River first! Li Gang understood this time, Zhao Huan's tone turned out to be blocked here, and he always blamed the emperor for not saving him, so that he suffered so many years.

"The Jurchens have told this king several times that they want to send this king back in the peace council, but why have they failed again and again, and it is not that they are worried that this king will regain his throne?" Zhao Huan still said unrelentingly.

"Hmph, does the Jurchen lord believe it? Several times with the Jin State and the ministers have participated in it, and the emperor has always wanted to welcome back the prince, but the Jurchen words have not been believed. If it weren't for the safety of the prince, how could the Great Song Dynasty give up Liaoyang, Kaizhou, Xuanzhou and other states and hastily withdraw troops. Li Gang explained.

"This ...... Is this true? The second brother still remembers our brotherhood! Zhao Huan was speechless for a while, and said abruptly.

"Your Majesty has never forgotten the brotherly love, but I am afraid that the prince has forgotten the letter sent back from the Five Kingdoms City back then, and has forgotten the way of being a minister!" Li Gang said in a deep voice, "Now that the situation is in the situation, the prince has also known what the result will be if he is reinstated in the opposition of hundreds of officials and the people in the court, and whether the prince has the ability to rejuvenate my Great Song Dynasty." And whether those sergeants outside the door can obey ......" (to be continued......
