Outside the nameless pavilion of the harem, the afternoon sun is particularly stinging, Li Qiong has been kneeling on the stone steps not far away for almost half an hour, although he can still hold on to it after ten years of service, but how to say that sentence, it is not very hurtful and insulting.

Finally, Yang Yizhong got the order, came over to help him up, and said, "The official family has passed on the king of Anyang County to come in and reply." Seeing that Li Qiong's face was not unconvinced, she inevitably sighed in her heart.

You must know that Li Qiong was originally a state student, and he threw his pen from Rong in the Jingkang Rebellion, which was in the Great Song Dynasty where the noble and martial arts were extremely low, it can be said that he sacrificed himself for the country, and because of this, he has both the arrogance of a scholar and a little bit of heroic arbitrariness, and put together it is excess self-esteem. Zhao Guan's family called someone to split his head and cover his face and reprimanded him and was still angry, and directly asked people to go out and kneel, this is the first time Jian Yan has been punished, this is the current situation, before changing Yaoshan, he had to prevent Li Qiong from defecting.

Who knew that Li Qiong was honest here, and just stretched his muscles and bones into the Nameless Pavilion, Zhao Guanjia said: "This time, are you not convinced?" ”

When he said this, Li Qiong bowed his head and said: "The official family, the minister should die, knowing that selling the Jurchens and Western Liao in exchange for war horses and cavalry has been the country's national policy in recent years, and he actually couldn't restrain his subordinates, resulting in the death of 2,300 people who captured 5,000 Jurchen prisoners in our department. ”

Yes, according to the statistics of Liu Yan and Li Xiuzhi, the mortality rate of Jurchen captives is ranked first in the Li Qiong department, which is not to say that Li Qiong himself was carried away by hatred and killed people to vent his anger - although he really didn't treat these captives as people, but almost all of his subordinates were the eight-character army and Hebei refugees brought out by Wang Yan from Hebei, and they almost had a blood feud with the Jurchen dogs from the control to the main pawns, and now this group of people is assigned to their own military camp as hard labor, and what fire, cooking, feeding horses, and chopping firewood are all yours, and you have to go to farm when you are busy farming, Anyway, when the animal is called, if it is a little unsatisfactory, first beat it badly, and then say, you say that with this management method, can there not be many dead people? However, Li Qiong is not Yue Fei, his majesty is strict, and it is difficult for him to overcome his hatred of the Jurchens, which caused this consequence.

Li Qiong was angry with her book, and when she got this data, she also knew that she was in trouble.

When Zhao Guanjia heard this, he sighed instead: "I know that I am also responsible for this incident, if I hadn't held back for a while in the spring and directly executed those captives, I wouldn't have set a bad example for you." That's why I shouldn't have punished you like that. ”

In the final analysis, he is still reasonable in his bones and on the surface, knowing that some things are inevitable in Song Jin's blood feud, but after all, it is his own key that brings a bad head, and it can only be said that the Zhao official family, which has no external strong enemies, is ultimately less restrained by forbearance for the country, otherwise he would not have directly let a handsome minister of Li Qiong's level kneel just now.

However, he will admit his mistakes.

Li Qiong was stunned for a moment, quickly looked around, made sure that there were no extra people, and said sincerely: "Official, don't be too strict with yourself, the minister was present that day, and he could clearly say a word of death, and the minister was also a father, and the princess Shouchun was the princess...... changed the ministers, and if the king of the county didn't do it, he couldn't bear this breath. ”

Zhao Jiu sighed and said, "You, you have been away for half your life, but you are still ..... when you come back Scholar. You can not be the king of this county, but I can't help but be this official, the Northern Expedition has been completed, but I will always have to lay this foundation for ten years, and I have been slack during this time. However, for the sake of God's blessing, I can't make an edict against myself, so I can only admit my mistake in private, but you will be punished. ”

"The minister deserves it." Li Qiong hurriedly arched her hand.

"The king of Anyang County, the Qingyuan military festival made Li Qiong ineffective in restraining his subordinates, fined him for one year, and halved his grace. Zhang Rong, King of Lu, and Yue Fei, King of Wei, were fined for half a year. ”

That's right, these three Jurchen captives died the most. This is what annoys the Zhao Guanjia the most, Zhang Rong won't say it, he didn't expect Yue Fei to make this kind of mistake, although he manages it better than Li Qiong, and the officers under him will not be so excessive, but the Jurchen prisoner mortality rate is actually about thirty percent, which is actually higher than the left army of the imperial camp, which makes it difficult for the Zhao Guanjia to accept.

After all, that is Yue Fei, the more you value him, the more you can't accept him to let you down.

But he ignored that Yue Fei was not an immortal in the end, although there was no war last year, but the front army of the imperial camp had been deterring Goryeo and the Qing Kingdom, military construction and other coolies, Yue Fei did not let the Jurchen prisoners not use, and let his soldiers be cannon fodder? This was already the result of his best efforts to restrain and restrain himself.

And just like Zhao Guanjia himself said, it was he who made a bad start, and it was not appropriate to say that the upper beam was not right and the lower beam was crooked.

But now it is useless to say this, first of all, he first asked Wang Lun of Honglu Temple and the envoy of Western Liao to say that he would send 15,000 prisoners to Western Liao in mid-October (gather all the Jurchen prisoners under the above three marshals and add them to the vicinity of Tokyo), and the rest asked Western Liao to provide enough war horses, horsemen and treasures before they could be handed over, let's do business, you will be my wronged leader!

That's what the diplomatic rhetoric is all about. Xiliao is the western barrier of the country in Zhao Jiu's mind, that is, it cannot be wool, and it is worthy of unconditional support and funding. And the special national conditions of Xiliao, with tens of thousands of people near thousands of miles, and the far-sightedness of Yelu Dashi, also led to their urgent need for the same kind of population.

However, the thief is not empty, the Zhao Guanjia can handle it, or it is better to control the Hexi Corridor in their own hands.

The envoy of Western Liao also knew that the Zhao Guanjia was a difficult person to get along with, and it was impossible not to bleed. If you ask for help, you don't dare to turn your face, so you can only promise to go back and tell the lord. At the same time, Li Qiong sent 2,000 soldiers and horses to escort these people away to the Western Regions.

As for the remaining gap, Zhao Jiu was also a scoundrel, saying that the internal friction of the vassal was serious, and the thunderous anger of the Chinese Son of Heaven made the Qing State and Goryeo each send 5,000 people, and the Eastern Mongolian Hebula Department sent 2,000 people.

There is no shortage of people these days, do you think they are willing? But the more than 40,000 exterminating divisions operating in the Yanyun area were enough to make them willing, and Jin Fushi, the actual ruler of Kaijing and Goryeo, was watching the domestic population crying and screaming to be escorted away, and the few remaining teeth were about to be crushed, but in the end they could only sigh deeply.

The willfulness of a large country, the sorrow of a small country, but that's it.

However, if Zhao Jiu knows that Bacheng laughs at his hypocrisy, what kind of loyalty and patriotism do you pretend, and what you send is either your criminal slave or the family of your political enemies, maybe people live better in Xiliao, at least Yelu Dashi can let them be good citizens.

Of course, Zhao Guanjia admits that he is a hooligan, and he doesn't know how many people have died along the way, and those who play politics are dirty, so no one should dislike anyone.

It will take at least next year for this to be done, but the Zhao official family obviously can't wait too long. After discussing with Shenyou the postponement of the ceremony and the promise of a greater magnificence, he convened a court meeting again and announced that he would take the imperial class straight from Huaxian and all the way north to start the Yellow River.

And the deacons didn't dare to have any opinions, for fear of being thrown at home to reflect again, and only emphasized the safety of the official family. After all, this is a good thing that has been said a long time ago, some time ago, Zhao Guan's family also publicly solicited a water control plan, which can be played in both the opposition and the court, so he brought one person with him this time: Zhao Ziyan, the commander of Jiaxing County.

That's right, this is also the sixth grandson of Song Taizu.

He, Zhao Boyao, plus Zhao Boju, who is deeply loved by the stereotyped city defense map of Beijing, Zhao Jiu couldn't help muttering in his heart, this dragon stick defeated the descendants of Zhao Da in the four hundred military states, and the success rate is really much higher than that of the Sorghum River Car God family. As for him, I'm sorry, we don't know each other.

So, in October Xiaoyangchun, Zhao Guanjia took a group of close ministers out of Tokyo and went straight to the Yellow River.
