The Great Yuan envoy was announced to the palace again, and when he looked up, the Empress Dowager Yang was gone. The atmosphere in the Great Song Dynasty Hall was completely different from the moment when Empress Dowager Yang was sitting in the court hall before.

The envoy had seen the portrait of Zhao Jiaren, and since the Empress Dowager Yang was gone, he easily looked at the first place among the ministers, and sure enough, he saw a person standing there who was very similar to the person in the portrait. The Han people were originally tall, but in the Manchu era, they became lower because of malnutrition. Although the per capita land of the Song Dynasty decreased, it did not reach the level of widespread hunger. The average height of men at that time was 170. Zhao Taiwei is 180 tall, which is much taller than the Mongols of that era.

Just when the Great Yuan envoys were sending a large number of Zhao Taiwei, Zhao Taiwei also stopped talking with several Shangshu, took two steps forward, and said to the Mongolian envoys: "Please go back and tell Kublai Khan that the Great Song Dynasty will not marry the Great Yuan." The matter of proposing marriage is stopped. ”

Seeing that it was Taiwei Zhao who came out to speak, the envoy was not surprised by the result of the rejection. Without any reaction to this result, the messenger asked, "Is this what the Queen Mother meant?" ”

Zhao Jiaren didn't explain, he said: "Whether Empress Dowager Yang knows or not has nothing to do with you. All you have to do is go back with this message. ”

The envoy knew that once he was sent out, he would not have the opportunity to see Zhao Jiaren again in the future, so he immediately said: "Taiwei Zhao, let me ask something, shouldn't there be peace between the Great Song and the Great Yuan?" ”

The question was asked sharply, the messenger was full of emotion, and there was some touching power in his voice.

The ministers of the Great Song Dynasty all saw Zhao Taiwei's speech, and saw Zhao Taiwei's decisiveness in sending people to send Empress Dowager Yang back to the palace, and everyone stared at Zhao Jiaren, wanting to hear what he would say at this time. In everyone's expectation, Zhao Jiaren opened his mouth and replied: "When it should be peaceful, it will naturally be peaceful." ”

With a stunned face, the Mongol envoy gave up the urge to savor this sentence, and hurriedly sought the most direct explanation, and he asked, "May I ask the captain, what does this mean?" ”

Zhao Jiaren replied calmly: "When it is time for peace, people all over the world think that peace is a matter of course. Even if there is an opportunity to fight, the two sides will not take advantage of the opportunity. At that time, the Taiping will come to fruition, and Dayuan will naturally know it. Now that we still need to discuss peace, this is not the time for peace. ”

The Great Song Qunchen was stunned to hear it, after all, the Mongolian envoy on the opposite side had always been on the side of the victor, and he had figured out Zhao Jiaren's attitude. He asked with a straight face: "Taiwei, must Song Guo take revenge?" The uncontrollable anger of fear and excitement made the voice of the Great Yuan envoy sound rather unkind.

Zhao Jiaren is still calm, he feels like his heart is like water when facing the enemy, and only when he faces Zhao Jiaren who thinks he is his own person, he can't help but get excited. However, the Great Song Qunchen seemed to be different from Zhao Taiwei, and it was difficult for them to remain calm when facing the Mongols, such as Sima Kao, who almost gritted his teeth. However, seeing Taiwei Zhao standing calmly and calmly in the position closest to the Great Yuan Envoy, Sima Kao felt a lot more relieved.

Zhao Jiaren didn't want to expand the discussion line too widely, so he replied: "For the previous things, Da Yuan just did what Da Yuan would have done. For the future, I, Da Song, will naturally do what Da Song should do. Let's all settle for it. ”

Whether it is the envoy or Zhao Jiaren, he has killed many people with his own hands. If you have experience in this area, you know that killing people is not easy, and you know that it is actually quite easy to simply kill people. The envoy could feel that the killing intent on Zhao Taiwei's body was mellow and unexposed, which was more terrifying than the furious killing intent of Kublai Khan.

The envoy no longer dared to continue the topic of fooling the Empress Dowager Yang before, he said: "Taiwei Zhao, if you want to talk about returning the official family of the Great Song Dynasty, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager, it is not impossible to talk about it. If Da Yuan and Da Song can really get along, they can also talk about sending Li Zong back to Song. ”

Regarding Zhao Taiwei's expression of 'each has a mandate of heaven', some of the ministers of the Great Song Dynasty have their own ideas. Hearing that the Mongolian envoy suddenly confessed, he took the initiative to mention the problem of Song Lizong. There was no sound in the court, because no one dared to say anything more.

Not long ago, Taiwei Zhao reprimanded Empress Dowager Yang for using the topic of Li Zong. It must be said that there are some parts that are actually not convinced. Now there is no need for Zhao Taiwei to make any friendly gestures, and the Mongols will automatically express their goodwill. These people have to admit that Taiwei Zhao is not bluffing and fabricating charges.

These people listened to Zhao Taiwei say: "After you go back, tell Kublai Khan that what Mongolia does is the choice of the Mongols, and it is the Mongols' business." What we do in Da Song is our Da Song's business. I have to entangle these two sides, it's just a mix. Why bother? ”

The Great Yuan Envoy had never encountered a guy like Zhao Jiaren who didn't eat oil and salt, and he said with a straight face again: "Is Taiwei Zhao going to war?" ”

Just when many people thought that Zhao Jiaren was going to be angry, they didn't expect Zhao Taiwei to reply calmly: "The Great Song Dynasty and the Great Yuan are separated by water, since the Huaxian Peace Conference has been signed, let's just do what was said in the peace agreement." ”

'A strip of water' is used in the 21st century to describe friendly neighbours, and the original origin of the word has nothing to do with friendship.

At that time, it was the last years of the Southern Dynasty, the state of Chen was south of the Yangtze River, and Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian lived north of the Yangtze River. At that time, Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian was engaged in a war to unify the whole country, and because the river was so strong, Yang Jian's army could not cross the river to the south of the Yangtze River, so it was unable to attack the state of Chen. However, Emperor Wen of Sui was not discouraged by this, he looked at Jiangnan and said decisively: "I am the parents of the common people, can I not save them because there is a river like a belt?" Therefore, Yang Jian ordered the building of ships, and finally eliminated the state of Chen and unified the whole country. When Taiwei Zhao used this word, he did not have good intentions in his heart.

"The agreement only provided for a three-year truce." The Great Yuan envoy reminded Zhao Jiaren. In the past, Mongolia also had agreements with many countries, and those countries without exception hoped that peace with Mongolia would be barren to the end of the world, and the Great Song Dynasty was the only country that only agreed to peace for three years. Therefore, the envoy of the Great Yuan felt that Zhao Jiaren had forgotten that the time limit for peace was only three years.

Zhao Jiaren looked at the envoy, he didn't expect the Mongols to expect peace as well, he smiled and said: "The last truce was agreed to be three years, and the agreement was torn up after a year. This three years can be finished first. Come, send off. ”

Having said that, there is no need to talk nonsense anymore, Zhao Jiaren, the Grand Captain of the Great Song Dynasty, is not afraid of war at all, and does not take war as a threat to leave an extremely strong impression on the envoy of the Great Yuan. He saluted Captain Zhao and then left with the Imperial City guards. When he left the Golden Palace, the Great Yuan Envoy began to think about whether he would have a chance to kill Zhao Jiaren if he pounced directly with his bare hands. It would be great if we could get rid of Zhao Jiaren and let someone like Empress Dowager Yang take power!

Zhao Jiaren did not have similar thoughts. At this time, the biggest opponent is the Empress Dowager Yang, and it is very irresponsible to let such a fool continue to express his opinions on the government. Zhao Jiaren was a little glad that he didn't come up with Zheng Boke's trick Duan Yuyan. To do this to Empress Dowager Yang is to carve a boat to ask for a sword and ask for hardship. Only by solving the fool in a dignified and upright way can we magnify the spirit of the aspirants as the "Teacher Table" says.

After taking a few steps forward, Taiwei Zhao stood in the middle of the two rows of ministers, and said loudly: "Empress Dowager Yang's virtue is too thin, and she acts for her own selfishness, completely with a posture of groveling to please Dayuan. Of course, I personally don't blame Empress Dowager Yang for this, Zhao's Nandu has been singing for more than a hundred years that the waste pond arbor is still tired of talking about soldiers, and the Lord and faction have repeatedly gained power. During this period, although there were times when the main war faction was in power, the main war faction did not talk about how to recruit troops, how to train troops, and did not talk about the impact of war on the country. They only seek results in battle, and only seek personal promotion and factional interests. Therefore, it has been defeated repeatedly and is unpopular with the people, and it is also deserved! ”

The officials who were born as cadres did not care about Zhao Taiwei's reasons, and they all waited for Zhao Taiwei to give an order. Based on their interests, depriving Empress Dowager Yang of participating in power is the result, and everyone will do the result first.

Other officials were very understanding of Zhao Taiwei's attack on the main war faction, but they didn't expect Zhao Taiwei to criticize the main battle faction so much. Xiong Shang, like other officials, remained silent for the time being, and he was thinking in his heart whether to express his support when Taiwei Zhao wanted to deprive Empress Dowager Yang of participating in power. Not supporting and opposing is by no means the same thing, and the courtiers deprived the queen mother of her power, which was unheard of in the Great Song Dynasty.

In the past, only the prime minister forced the queen mother to withdraw the curtain after the official family became an adult, and I really haven't heard the story of the courtiers directly depriving the queen mother of power. Of course, Zhao Kuangyin, the ancestor of the Zhao family, did something once to let the queen mother of the Chai family withdraw the curtain, and after the curtain was removed, even the queen mother took the small officials of the Chai family to get out of the house together.

Just when Xiong Shang was thinking about it, he heard Sima Kao say angrily: "Today's official family is a descendant of Taizu, and today's Taiwei is also a descendant of Taizu. Although today's official family is the grandson of Emperor Lizong and the son of Emperor Duzong, it is well known that Emperor Lizong did not win the country properly. It was the traitor Shi Miyuan who learned that the crown prince of Ning Zong was dissatisfied with him, so he reasoned about the throne of the sect! So ......"

It's finally here! Xiong Sheng is a Jinshi, and after listening to such a beginning, he knew what Sima Kao wanted to say next. If Xiong Shang's position is the same as Sima Kao's, what he wants to say is exactly the same as Sima Kao's.

Li Zong was not right, Duzong was greatly incompetent, and then Lin'an surrendered, and the Empress Dowager, Queen Mother, and petty officials of the Great Song Dynasty did not pass on the throne to the current petty officials. This petty official family is self-appointed along the way. The one who really saved the Great Song Dynasty was Zhao Jiaren and Zhao Taiwei. Zhao Taiwei not only recaptured Lin'an, but also recaptured Tokyo Bianliang and Xijing Luoyang, and Zhao's imperial tomb was also recaptured by Zhao Taiwei.

“…… In public and private, in the family and in the country, Zhao Taiwei's virtue and talent are unparalleled in the world! Empress Dowager Yang's virtue is meager, and the official family was raised by Empress Dowager Yang, and she is overwhelmed. Sima Kao had already thought about these words of persuasion many times, and when he said it at this time, it was even more sonorous and powerful, "At this extraordinary time, Zhao Taiwei is the son of heaven, the Great Song Dynasty is saved, and China is saved!" Wangtaiwei obeys the will of heaven and the people, and inherits the unification. Protect the people of Song billion! ”
