Chapter 148: Helpless

Zhao Tan was very helpless, he wanted to intervene in the negotiations between the Great Song Dynasty and the Jurchens, but he was immediately pinched by a holy decree, asking him to return to Hedong immediately and prepare to receive Xijing. His father is really ruthless, it doesn't matter if you don't let your son take care of Yanjing's affairs, and you won't let your son go back to Beijing to see his daughter-in-law when he arrives at the door of the New Year... In fact, he also understands that he received Xijing, Xijing himself has already received it, and the Jurchens are just taking his father as the boss and deceiving something.

If you are unhappy, you are not happy, when your son can't slap her father's face, Zhao Ta has to go back. When it was time to say goodbye, Wan Yan was also emotional, Prince Yan not only gave him 666 elixirs, but also a box of glass beads, these things were worth a hundred and ten yuan in Zhao Ta, but when it came to him, this was a priceless treasure, especially the elixir was nowhere else to buy it.

"Brother, my brother's life is given by you, if there is anything, don't forget me to find me!" Wan Yan Xian also gave Zhao Ta a bear hug and said, tears and saliva flowed down his shoulders as if he had committed a big cigarette addiction.

"The mountains are high and the rivers are long, as long as my brother is alive, we will have a time to meet, I just hope we don't meet each other!" Zhao Ta patted the old man's back vigorously and said.

"No matter when, as long as the brother leads the troops, the elder brother will never lead the troops to the battle!" Wan Yan also said.

"Good!" The two palms 'snapped' together, but Zhao Ta secretly complained in his heart, buddy, we can't say good things in front of so many people, isn't this harmful to me, but it's hard to collect it, and it can only be refreshing, and the province is despised.

"Liu Guangshi!" Zhao Ta twisted his face and shouted to envoy Liu Guangshi.

"The last general!" Seeing Prince Yan's legs and stomach, Liu Guangshi couldn't help but weaken, and when he heard him shout that he was excited, he immediately straightened his chest and replied.

"It's up to you to finish your face. Take care of yourself on the road, although you are not under my command. But if something goes wrong, this king can cut off your head! Zhao Ta said coldly to Liu Guangshi.

"The last general will not dare. I will definitely send Wanyan Dushuai safely! Liu Guangshi bowed and saluted.

"Well, what's wrong with being handsome in my territory, this king asks your father and son, can you remember?" Zhao said.

"Don't worry, the last general will dare to forget the prince's orders!" Liu Guangshi was afraid from the bottom of his heart, and replied with a smile on his face, but his smile was unnatural for anyone, as if the door was squeezed out.

"Take care, brother, be careful all the way. See you soon! Zhao Ta arched his hand to Wan Yan and said.

"Take care, brother, I will return the rescue funds as soon as possible when I return to China!" Wan Yan also returned the courtesy.

"Alas, this trivial matter, my brother is still hanging in my heart!" Zhao Ta sighed and said, he is still real, and he has not forgotten that he owes the debt at this time, and at that time he only wanted to use this method to subdue him, defeat the arrogance of the Jurchens, and make it difficult to beat him. I found an excuse to make trouble, but I didn't have my hands free for a while. I didn't expect him to remember it when he parted, and he would pay it back if he wanted, and he was never afraid of money biting his hand. But fortunately, he has an extra eye to keep a back hand, as long as he can't quit smoking, he will contact himself, otherwise he will really be decoupled!

Then Zhao Ta told his eldest nephew a few more words. These days, the two get along quite happily, because they can't go back to Beijing. Tuo Zheng Haoran brought back two letters and rewarded him with some New Year's money. Of course, Zheng Haoran was also overjoyed, and he took the line of the prince. The good days are here.

He also said goodbye to Yan Xian and sent him on the road, although Yanjing was close at hand, although Zhao Ta was unwilling in every way, but he also knew that he couldn't mix the matter of Yanjing, and there was no meaning here, so he could only embark on the road of return melancholy.

As Zhao Tan expected, Tong Guan's little tricks made the Jurchens very disgusted, and also made them angry, and their attitude became increasingly tough, and they refused to back down half a step. After several envoy exchanges and bargaining, the Jin people issued the most unfortunate ultimatum: the Jin Dynasty only handed over the twenty-four counties of the six states of Yanjing to the Song Dynasty; In addition to handing over the 500,000-year-old coins originally to the Liao Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty every year, the Song Dynasty also had to pay 1 million guan as the tax money in charge of Yanjing; If there is no reply within half a month, the Kim dynasty will take tough action.

In the first month of the fifth year of Xuanhe, Zhao Liangsi returned to the dynasty to restore his life, and Zhao Ji agreed to all the conditions of the Jin State, only letting him make Jin again, and still asked for the return of Xijing. The Jin Dynasty took the opportunity to extort 200,000 taels of military expenses from the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty also agreed, but the Jurchens received the money but could not return Xijing, and only told them to wait for the day when Xijing was defeated.

At the end of the year, Nanjing was lost, and the Liao general Yelu Dashi, who fled from Yanjing, believed that the Liao Dynasty still had considerable strength in the northwest, and in order to save the demise of the Liao Dynasty, he overrode public opinion, and risked being killed. In February of the following year, after a lot of hardships, he finally met Yelu Yanxi in the Tiande army, and the other ministers who supported Yeluchun were pardoned, but Concubine Xiao De still could not escape death. Still let Yelu Dashi serve as the commander...

In April, the Song and Jin sides handed over Yanjing. The Jin army entered the city for nearly half a year, knowing that the city of Ludao would be returned to the Song Dynasty, so they plundered and looted on a large scale, the residents fled, ten rooms and nine empty, and the whole city was almost like ruins. When the Jin army was leaving, he took the rich people, the golden silks, and their children away. Tong Guan and Cai You only received a dilapidated Yanjing empty city and the six states of Ji, Jing, Tan, Shun, Zhuo, and Yi, among which the two states of Zhuoyi still took the initiative to descend to the Song Dynasty.

Despite this, the Great Song Dynasty monarchs were still self-absorbed and launched a huge celebration for the first time. The first item of the activity was naturally a reward for meritorious personnel, and among all the officials who participated in the operation to recover Yanyun, except for Liu Yanqing, they were all promoted.

Sitting in the rear, the young master Dazai Wang Huangju recovered Yanyun's first merit, gave him a jade belt, was promoted to Taifu, governed the affairs of the three provinces, and entered the Duke of Chu, and his status was comparable to Cai Jing's back then; The young master Cai You, who was on the front line, was promoted to a young master, led the Privy Council, and grasped the military and politics; Zhao Liangsi, who is running in all directions, is a bachelor of Yankang Palace; The biggest credit is, of course, to Tong Guan, who has been running for this for nearly ten years.

Song Shenzong has a saying - the king of the restoration of Yanyun. But there are many good things, and the reward for Tong Guan has still experienced some twists and turns. Out of jealousy or fear that Tong Guan would threaten their position, Wang Hao and Liang Shicheng made a small report to the emperor, counting their lack of command, which led to two failed expeditions to Liao, and finally they could only rely on spending a lot of money to redeem the major mistakes of the six states of Yanjing, and then also operated the Yushitai to impeach Tong Guan.

In the sound of crusade, Tong Guan first crowned Xu and Yuguogong, but Zhao Ji took into account the legacy of the first emperor, although Tong Guan had problems in recovering Yanjing, and the problem was not small, but after all, there was no credit and hard work, no hard work and fatigue, no fatigue and aging, let him retire after the queen!

The prince of the Great Song Dynasty is only at the two levels of pro and county, and the king of the county, under the prince, is the second rank of the prince, and Tong Guan was named the king of Guangyang County. He set a national record, the eunuch Feng Wang throughout the history of China is the only example, through the Lianjin to destroy Liao reached the highest peak of his life and career, and finally realized his dream.

But it flourished and declined, and Tong Guan was soon deprived of a real job. Under the strong recommendation of Liang Shicheng and Wang Hao, Liang Shicheng's close comrade-in-arms Guangde Junjiedu made Tan Zhi take office as the Xuanfu envoy of Hebei Lianglu and Yanshanfu Road, and Wang Anzhong, Shangshu Zuocheng, was the deputy envoy of Xuanfu and Zhiyanshan Mansion. Tong Guan was busy for a long time, and he was so helpless, not only did he not surpass his political enemies, but he gave others a ladder to climb to the sky, but he fell into the dust...

Next is the stage for Zhao Ji's performance, at this time he is full of ambition, destroying Tibet, breaking the Western Xia, quelling civil strife, and recovering Yanyun... Looking back at history, from Taizu Zhao Kuangyin to his brother Zhezong Zhao Xu, all the ancestors of the Great Song Dynasty, their lifelong efforts have turned into helpless sighs, those things that have always been like a dream bubble, Taizu and Taizong's unfinished great business he has completed!

Don't say it's the Song Dynasty, looking around at the 3,000-year history of the Han people, who can compare with him? People and things must be engraved with steles and passed on to all generations. Zhao Ji ordered Wang Anzhong to make "Fu Yanyun Monument" to remember this event, and set it up in Yanjing's Yanshou Temple as a commemoration to commend his immortal achievements!

In an artificially created joyful, peaceful, and jubilant atmosphere, the Battle of Yanyun came to an end...

………

The reconquest of Yanjing did not excite Zhao Ta, who had returned to Taiyuan to wait for the 'reception' of Xijing, and although they were not promoted to knighthood, they were still rewarded with some rewards. After the beginning of spring, Zhao Ta sent a group of craftsmen from the Taiyuan workshop into Shuozhou, which was rich in coal and iron, which could be used as his own raw material base, and at the same time established a military branch factory to produce weapons and gunpowder, which were supplied to the nearby Kryu army, reducing costs and reducing transportation troubles.

After several years of operation, the Hedong and Hezhong areas have recovered their vitality, and the grain harvested last year is already self-sufficient. The preferential policies have attracted business travelers from all over the world, forming a trade circle centered on the three cities of Taiyuan, Xiazhou and Lingzhou. The prosperity of commerce has led to the development of handicraft industry, although everyone has a piece of the pie, but the various 'companies' of the palace are the biggest beneficiaries, not only forming a one-stop production, supply and marketing, but also absorbing a large amount of capital through the cabinet workshop, which affects the economy of the northwest.

After so many years of tossing, the palace not only has its own army, caravan, farm, and raw material base, but also basically self-contained, and has established a cadre team through its own training methods, which also frees Zhao Ta from cumbersome affairs and pours more of his energy into grasping the general trend.

With Ah Guta leading his troops back to the north, Zhao Ta set his sights on Wu Qimai, a mysterious and inscrutable guy who was far away in Shangjing... (To be continued.) )
