Chapter 22: The Small Net of the Rear Party (3)

Qin Yuzhen did not come to attend the party in the palace, and Empress Dowager Yang was not surprised. If Qin Yuzhen really came, Empress Dowager Yang would feel uncomfortable. In terms of generation, Empress Dowager Yang wants to call Qin Yuzhen her uncle. In terms of status, Qin Yuzhen has the capital to be proud of Empress Dowager Yang. Of course, Empress Dowager Yang, who is very good-looking, thinks that she is not as good as Qin Yuzhen, which may be the biggest reason why she doesn't want to see Qin Yuzhen.

When the appointed time came, someone came to the door. The first to come was Chen Yizhong's wife, Chen Yizhong was the prime minister of Zuo before the surrender of President Lin'an. is similar to the Southern Song Dynasty, after Chen Yizhong became the prime minister of Zuo, the former commander of the palace, Han Zhen, proposed to move the capital, and Chen Yizhong tricked him into his own home to kill him. It almost caused a mutiny in the Praetorian Army.

The next person who came was the wife of Chen Qingnian, the former secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the wife of Liu Huang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, came later. Next came Yang Liangjie's wife, that is, the sister-in-law of the Empress Dowager Yang. After the time came, there were only four people here, which made Empress Dowager Yang unhappy. She sent out invitations from 12 people.

A few people sat down, first snacks such as melon seeds and peanuts, and then chatted about the weather. One of the major functions and powers of the Ministry of Rites is to be responsible for the imperial examinations, and the imperial examinations in charge of Liu Huang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, have become the focus of everyone's inquiries. Let's see if there are any good teachers and how Guozijian is doing recently.

After chatting for a while, Empress Dowager Yang finally opened her mouth to cut to the chase, "Generally speaking, the official family has to marry him after he becomes an adult." However, at that moment, there was a great yuan who came to propose marriage, and the other party was the granddaughter of the great yuan emperor Kublai Khan. In the past, everyone suffered from displacement, and if the two countries were relatives, there would be no war in the future. ”

This is the reason that Empress Dowager Yang used to convince herself, and the reason seemed to be very strong. The Great Song Dynasty has been at war for hundreds of years, and the country has also faced various crises because of the war. Peace is a very attractive statement.

After Empress Dowager Yang finished speaking, she wanted to hear what others echoed, but she didn't expect it to be cold. Several women with official status were silent for the time being. As a woman, you can keenly feel the reason why the other party doesn't speak, or you don't understand, or you don't want to speak, or you oppose it. Empress Dowager Yang looked around, but she didn't see the attitude of support from anyone.

After a while, as if she couldn't stand the silence, Liu Di's wife said, "Queen Mother." I've heard from my family officials about this. He felt that the Mongols were only afraid of harboring evil intentions. Although we also have an agreement with the baby, it is all decided in advance by small families who are afraid that their sons will not be able to marry the Hun family. Or it is a good match and the current friendship is irreversible, and it must be decided. But I didn't hear that you killed you in the first few years, and suddenly decided to marry in order to resolve grievances. ”

If Zhao Jiaren has a tough attitude, Empress Dowager Yang will rebel against it. Now that she is told by these women who have been in contact with her, she also feels a little empty in her heart.

Chen Yizhong's wife said: "Queen Mother, I don't like to see this family affair when I want to come to Mrs. Zhao. Since Taiwei Zhao is unwilling to do this family business, he is afraid that the Queen Mother will not be able to resist him. ”

"Why?" Empress Dowager Yang hurriedly asked. She felt that Zhao Jiaren would definitely not agree to this family business, but she couldn't say it very clearly.

Chen Yizhong's wife explained: "If you agree to this family business, the Great Song Dynasty will not be able to start a war with the Great Yuan. The reason why Taiwei Zhao's reputation is so high is that he fought against the Mongols and won every battle. If he couldn't fight, wouldn't it make Taiwei Zhao more respectable? ”

What she said made Empress Dowager Yang nod again and again, and she remembered that Li Tingzhi's wife had written a letter saying that Taiwei Zhao was standing above everyone with a posture of salvation. Just like back then, Jia Rudao was in power after the Battle of Ezhou. The truth corroborated each other, and Empress Dowager Yang felt that she had found a deep reason why Zhao Jiaren would not agree to peace. The war will take Zhao Jiaren's power to the next level.

Realizing this, Empress Dowager Yang's desire to conclude this marriage became even stronger. If Zhao Jiaren's power continues to increase, Taiwei is afraid that it will become a reality. When Zhao Kuangyin, the ancestor of the Zhao family, became the emperor, wasn't it because he controlled the power of the entire world. Now that Taiwei Zhao has firmly controlled the power of the soldiers and horses in his hands, he is half a step away from launching that crucial step.

"Mrs. Chen, but I don't know what you think?" Empress Dowager Yang asked about Chen Qingnian's wife. Chen Qingnian served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and was a staunch loyal monarch. Before the Battle of the Yellow River, it was Chen Qingnian who publicly said in the court that Zhao Jiaren wanted to learn the story of Taizu, and this loyalty impressed Empress Dowager Yang. After Zhao Jiaren recaptured Bianliang, he did not have a yellow robe, and Empress Dowager Yang felt that Chen Qingnian's loyal and upright words played a role.

Chen Qingnian's wife was invited by Chen Qingnian to come here to give advice to Empress Dowager Yang. Just for a meaningless sentence, the good future is ruined. Mrs. Chen herself was angry at her husband's stupid actions. But since he got on this boat, he had to continue, Mrs. Chen said: "Taiwei Zhao must be going to war with Mongolia again, and the Queen Mother might as well ask Taiwei in the court why she wants to continue fighting." Look at who above the court doesn't want to fight anymore. ”

After talking with these women, Empress Dowager Yang felt some strength in her heart. Although Zhao Jiaren is very powerful, he is only one person after all, and all the ministers in the court may not be willing to listen to him. This time the matter of the official family deciding on the family is a contest. After sending away a few wives, Empress Dowager Yang thought about it and began to think about how to fight Zhao Jiaren in the court.

Soon it was February 11. This day was the day when Taiwei Zhao went to court, and the Empress Dowager Yang, who had avoided Taiwei Zhao in the past, appeared in the court, and these officials knew that something must happen this time.

Sure enough, Empress Dowager Yang ordered the envoy of Xuan Dayuan to go to the palace. Zhao Jiaren sighed slightly in his heart, he was ready to give up playing tricks under the persuasion of his wife. Unexpectedly, Empress Dowager Yang would be so cooperative to bring this time to the table, and Zhao Jiaren found that he really had no other choice but to oppose it.

After the Great Yuan envoy saluted, he handed over a letter from the Great Yuan Emperor Kublai Khan. The contents of the letter were then paraphrased. Kublai Khan wanted the two countries to become related and there would be no more wars.

After Empress Dowager Yang received the letter, she asked the messenger to go down. This made Zhao Jiaren feel that Empress Dowager Yang was ready. Sure enough, Empress Dowager Yang asked: "Ladies and gentlemen, the mourning family thinks that this matter should be agreed." But I don't know what you think? ”

Everyone looked at Zhao Jiaren, as Prime Minister Zuo, Zhao Jiaren said calmly: "If we wait to get married, even if the other party's family is not good, at least the other party must be a child of a good family." Mongolia started as a bandit, but it killed people and destroyed a lot of countries, so it called itself the Son of Heaven. It's really a monkey and a crown. This barbarian thief is the enemy of civilization. In the history of thousands of years of civilization in China, countless barbarians have been exterminated. The only way to defeat Mongolia once and for all, to sweep them into the wilderness, and to show the might of China, is what we should do. Where is the reason to marry a thief. ”

Everyone knows that Taiwei Zhao probably won't agree to this family business. Now that the results have been decided, people don't really care. Now that he has listened to Taiwei Zhao's reason, he feels simple and heroic, and Sima Kao can't help but applaud. "Well said the Captain! Mongolia is the enemy of civilization, and my Great Song Dynasty is a Chinese nobleman, how can I let it go. ”

Empress Dowager Yang also thought about what Zhao Jiaren might say, so she retorted: "What is lost in fighting, killing, and killing is human life. If the world is peaceful, everyone will not die tragically. Is war better than peace? ”

"Haha! I thought the Queen Mother would be able to say something terrible. I didn't expect you to be so shallow. I'll give you some time to think about it. It's really laughing to death in the words of Fang Cai. Zhao Jiaren said mockingly to the Queen Mother.

"What did you say!" Empress Dowager Yang also has a temper, and she was ridiculed by Zhao Jiaren to such an extent that she was also furious.

Zhao Jiaren was really disappointed with Empress Dowager Yang's reaction. In fact, he still hopes that Empress Dowager Yang can show a traitorous posture and reach at least a hateful level. Now Empress Dowager Yang's performance can only be described as a rat-eyed rat. So Zhao Jiaren said with a cold face: "Then I want to ask, does the Queen Mother know where the bones of Li Zong are now?" ”

Seeing that Mrs. Zhao was so strong and scolded the Empress Dowager Yang in public, there was still some sympathy for the Empress Dowager Yang in the court. In other words, there are also some people who don't want to see Zhao Taiwei so domineering. After listening to the question about Song Lizong's bones, those people also wilted. Song Lizong's body was taken away by the Mongols along with the coffin, and this was only a few years ago. However, when peace came, the gang really forgot about it, as if it had never happened. Zhao Jiaren began to question about this, and they felt empty-hearted.

"Queen Mother. Just facing the Mongolian envoy, you looked like you were smiling. I don't understand, when we escorted you back to Lin'an and erected the monument for Li Zong, you also participated in person. Why is it that you have forgotten about it completely in just a few years? Why didn't the Mongols come to propose marriage when they dug up the corpse of Rizong? Because they thought they could beat us at that time. Now they felt that they couldn't beat it, so they immediately changed their faces and proposed. And because you're afraid, you don't even want your ancestors......, oh, that's right. Your ancestor is not surnamed Zhao, your ancestor's surname is Yang. But my surname is Zhao, such a great shame, I will never let the Mongols go until I use the blood of the Mongols to completely wash the snow! ”

Zhao Jiaren said that later, because of grief and indignation, his voice was a little sad. And Empress Dowager Yang didn't expect Zhao Jiaren to make such a mean accusation. The accusation of the ancestors made Empress Dowager Yang feel like a bolt from the blue. Although Empress Dowager Yang's surname is Yang, she is the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, and she is also a member of the Zhao family. was scolded by Mrs. Zhao like this, Empress Dowager Yang's face was pale and her eyes were full of tears.

Seeing Empress Dowager Yang's cowardice, Zhao Jiaren was even more furious. Back then, the people's army gave preferential treatment to prisoners, and Zhao Jiaren felt that it was a bit too much. However, it is the tradition of the people's army to treat prisoners preferentially, and it is also the people's army that defeats the enemy by its own bloody battles.

However, after the victory of the allies over Japan, the bald head still groveled to Japan. made Zhao Jiaren completely incomprehensible. Seeing Empress Dowager Yang, Zhao Jiaren felt a little understood, how could there be such a garbage as a bald head.

The angry Zhao Jiaren raised his finger and pointed at the Empress Dowager Yang, and shouted like thunder: "Get out!" Don't let me see you again. ”

The ministers were all shocked, and they could feel the righteous anger of Zhao Taiwei. An idea suddenly popped up in everyone's hearts, 'Qingjun side'.

The air in the court seemed to freeze in an instant, and none of the ministers dared to breathe loudly, and they felt their hearts beating violently. At this moment, I saw Empress Dowager Yang crying, she choked up while crying and said, "Taiwei...... Mourning is to say...... If you say the wrong thing, you don't have to scold the mourner like that......"
