…

From the original meaning, Zhao Huan Junchen was actually very worried about Li Cun leading his troops to attack the Song Dynasty for the second time.

However, Zhao Huan Junchen naively thought that although they had torn up the peace treaty, but now that they had admitted the treaty that they had torn up, as long as they sent someone to explain it to Li Cun, Li Cun should not continue to lead his troops south.

Moreover, Zhao Huan Junchen also thought self-righteously that in addition to sending people to negotiate peace with Li Cun, they also set up four governors' mansions in the east, south, west, and north for defense. In this way, in case Li Cun led his troops to attack the Zhao and Song dynasties again, they could also use force to defend against the invasion of the Daqian dynasty.

Zhao Huan Junchen thought that with their two-pronged approach, the Zhao and Song dynasties would definitely be as stable as Mount Tai.

Therefore, in the view of Zhao Huanjunchen, at this stage, the external troubles of the Zhao Song Dynasty are important but there is no need to rush to solve the problem, and the real problem that the Zhao Song Dynasty is in a hurry to solve is the internal worry, that is, the dispute between war and peace, and a little deeper, it is the dispute between the reformers and the conservatives, which is a matter of urgency for the future and fate of the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Under this cognition, Zhao Huan Junchen stopped for a few days, and then began to liquidate again.

But the five thieves are now dead, and even the powerful ministers of Zhao Ji's era have been almost liquidated by Zhao Huan's ministers.

So who is it to liquidate now?

Soon, the conservative ministers around Zhao Huan proposed that the top priority was to summarize and liquidate the mistakes of the previous ruler when he was in power.

】

In this way, Wu Min has become the target of key criticism.

There are many accusations against Wu Min, including his lack of work ability, his dereliction of duty, his cronyism, and his corrupt and degenerate life style, and more seriously, he belongs to the party of Cai Jing and Cai You's father and son politically, and is the successor who Cai Jing has cultivated and promoted, and is Cai You's henchmen and eyes and ears carefully placed in the Zhao and Song courts.

Therefore, during his tenure as prime minister, Wu Min tried every means to protect Cai Jing and Cai You (in fact, he said a few words for Cai Jing), and interfered with and sabotaged the Zhao and Song Dynasty court's exposé and criticism campaign against Cai Jing and Cai You's father and son.

And what surprised people inside and outside the government and the opposition the most was that Zhao Huan also publicly stated in the form of an edict that the so-called Wu Min's suggestion of Zhao Ji's Zen position was false, and it was a conspiracy planned by Cai You.

Actually-

Some of Wu Min's accusations, such as the problem of insufficient work ability, the problem of dereliction of duty, and the problem of cronyism, are not a problem.

But it is a bit of a stretch to say that Wu Min has a corrupt and degenerate life style.

Wu Min's romance didn't start after Wu Min became a young master.

- Wu Min has a concubine in his family for a long time, and Wu Min also has a maid named "Yuanshan" who is very famous, not only has a good appearance, but also knows how to make a fuss. Whenever Wu Min writes an article according to the eucalyptus pen, Yuanshan will grind ink and brush paper next to him and wait for the pen inkstone. This matter was known to the Zhao and Song courts, and they were also very envious.

The key is that in this era, not only Wu Min is like this, but all the qualified officials and nobles, which one does not raise a few concubines?

It can even be said that if a man does not keep a few concubines, he will be embarrassed to greet people when he goes out.

But Zhao Huan is an exception, he is really not interested in women.

Not only that, Zhao Huan also particularly hates men and women.

Perhaps, in Zhao Huan's eyes, women will only affect the speed at which he draws his knife.

Therefore, Zhao Huan still trusted Wu Min very much, but after the conservatives exposed and criticized him, Zhao Huan's view of Wu Min underwent a major change, and then he issued an order: Wu Min was appointed as the deputy envoy of the Chongxin Army and placed in Fuzhou.

Actually, to put it bluntly, Wu Min is the "remnant" of the reformers who still remain in the Zhao and Song dynasties, so the conservative ministers can't keep him, after all, Wu Min is young, and it is hard to guarantee that there will be a time to recover, in case Wu Min is the prime minister again, and then like Cai Jing back then, to attack their conservatives, then it will be their turn to be purged conservatives.

It must be said that the worries of conservatives are not unfounded.

You must know that Wu Min is not yet forty years old, and he has made great contributions, although he has been deposed now, he is still a bachelor of the Guanwen Palace, and everything of this kind shows that Wu Min can revert at any time, so they conservatives can't be careless.

And Zhao Huan is a person who is cold and ungrateful by nature, and in addition, Wu Min is a good woman, which caused his disgust.

What's more critical is that Zhao Huan is as stupid as a pig, and he doesn't understand the art of balance at all, let alone the overall situation.

To be fair, in this regard, Zhao Huan is really far worse than his father Zhao Ji.

When Zhao Ji was in power, Cai Jing and Tong Guan were not talented, and they were not played with by him.

In short, I don't know what Zhao Huan has in his head, at this critical moment, he didn't think about how to deploy troops and how to face Li Cunhua Song, so he put his main energy on helping the conservative ministers completely knock Wu Min and other law-changing ministers to the ground.

In history, the liquidation of Zhao Huan's monarchs and ministers, even Li Gang, who made great contributions in the first defense of Tokyo, did not let go, and in the end Li Gang was added to the charge of "dictating the war discussion, losing the division and spending money", first blamed the resettlement of the Jianchang army, and then went to Kuizhou.

When the Jin army went south again to besiege Bianliang City in Tokyo, Zhao Huan remembered to use Li Gang on the eve of being captured, and appointed Li Gang as a scholar of the Senior Administration Hall to lead the affairs of Kaifeng, but to no avail.

By the time Li Gang learned of this fate in Changsha, the Northern Song Dynasty had already perished.

At this time, when Zhao Huan Junchen was still keen to liquidate, Li Cun had already personally led two armies to the south, and there was still an army under the leadership of Yan Xiaoguang ready to go north.

Even if Li Miao sent more than 40 secret letters to the Zhao and Song Dynasty courts before the Zhending Mansion was breached, reminding Zhao Huan Junchen to hurry up and prepare to meet the enemy, Zhao Huan Junchen just sent Wu Ge, a Hemen Xuanzan Sheren, to negotiate peace with Li Cun.

Originally, the sixty-six-year-old Zong Ze went to meet Li Cunyi.

——In the imperial history, Chen Guoting and others jointly recommended Zong Ze to Zhao Huan to serve as a peace envoy.

But after Zong Ze arrived in Bianliang City, Tokyo, Geng Nanzhong routinely brought Zong Ze to talk, wanting to see if Zong Ze could be up to the important task of negotiating peace.

As a result, at the beginning of the conversation, Zong Ze said: "You will not survive this trip." ”

Geng Nanzhong asked curiously: "Why is this?" ”

Zong Ze replied: "If the enemy can repent and retire, otherwise, I can bow down and humiliate the king's life?" ”

As soon as Geng Nanzhong heard that Zong Ze was so strong, he was not suitable to serve as a peace envoy at all, so he hurriedly asked Zhao Huan to replace Zong Ze, so as not to delay Zong Ze's peace affairs.

Zhao Huan therefore reappointed Zong Ze as the governor of Cizhou.

At this time, although Zhao Huan Junchen was keen on liquidation, infighting and internal friction, and did not pay attention to Li Cun's war against the Song Dynasty, there were also many people who saw the situation very clearly, knowing that Li Cun would definitely cut down the Song Dynasty, so Hebei and Hedong were the most dangerous areas in their opinion, so all the officials who were sent to Hebei and Hedong tried their best to shirk and did not go to office (sent to death).

Zong Ze was very contemptuous and angry about this, and he said in public: "It is not okay to take refuge after eating Lu." ”

So, on the day he was ordered, Zong Ze took more than a dozen old and weak soldiers to take office.

Cizhou is located in the south of Hebei Province and is strategically located.

After Zong Ze took office, he immediately organized the people to repair the city wall, dredge the moat, organize the equipment, recruit volunteers, and began to prepare to defend the city.

Then, Zong Ze gave Zhao Huan a recital: "The five states of Xing, Huan, Ci, Zhao, and Xiang, if each has 20,000 soldiers and the enemy attacks a county, then the four counties should respond, and there are often 100,000 soldiers in a county." ”

Zhao Huan was very happy after seeing it, and immediately appointed Zong Ze as the head of the Hebei Volunteer Army.

Hebei and Hedong have lost again and again, although it has nothing to do with the Seed Master Dao, but after all, the Seed Master Road bears the name of Hebei and Hedong Xuanfu Envoy.

Now, the armies have been defeated, and the remnants of the defeated army will go south.

The seed master wanted to collect these remnants of the defeated army, and then take them to Henan to deploy defenses along the Yellow River.

But as soon as he was halfway there, the Planter Dao passed out.

Someone advised the planter not to go north again.

But the seed master sighed lightly and said, "Reading Your Majesty's words in Linxuan, can't you bear it?" So he continued north.

Ever since he died in battle, the body of the Planter Dao has been no longer good.

But in order to repay Zhao Huan for his kindness, the seed master has been enduring the pain of planning and running for Zhao Huan.

It is precisely because of the hard work day and night during this period of time that he did not cultivate well, and the condition of the seed master Dao was further aggravated, and he even fell unconscious many times.

After Zhao Huan heard about this, he issued an edict to tell the seed master not to go north again, and to return to Bianliang City in Tokyo as soon as possible for treatment.

Although the health of the cultivator is getting worse and worse, he has a more and more thorough grasp of the situation.

The planter said that Li Cun would definitely cut down the Song Dynasty, and this time he would pour the whole country's strength to cut down the Song Dynasty, so he dragged his seriously ill body to Zhao Huan to give the last stroke:

"Emperor Daqian invited the army to return safely, and if he comes back now, he will definitely move the whole country into the army, and he will not be able to take it seriously. The ministers did not listen to the plan, and the green, cang, guard, and slippery were neither soldiers, nor did they have the help of the fence. I want to beg for Chang'an to avoid its edge. As for the defense and offensive battles, the responsibility lies with the generals, and the battle is not suitable for all times. ”

It is said that the old minister who was loyal and courageous was crying blood to Zhao Huan's advice when he was dying, and Zhao Huan should listen to his advice whenever he has a little brain.

However, many ministers of the Zhao and Song dynasties thought that the Seed Master Dao was timid, and they did not agree with the suggestion of the Seed Master Dao.

At this time, the ministers surrounding Zhao Huan, whether they were the main battle faction or the main peace faction, they actually lacked the most basic understanding and judgment of the current situation, although they subjectively also wanted to protect the Zhao Song Dynasty's country, but objectively, they were pushing the Zhao Song Dynasty step by step into the abyss.

The key is that Zhao Huan, the emperor, actually chose to believe in these people who only know intrigue, and did not choose to believe in veterans with rich military experience like Seed Master Dao, the key is that if Zhao Huan and his ministers understand military affairs, they still don't know anything about military affairs.

In this regard, Zhao Huan Junchen is not even as good as Cai You, Li Bangyan, and Bai Shizhong, and when they are facing this kind of national defense matter, they still know how to pull Tong Guan to their side to discuss countermeasures, which is like Zhao Huan Junchen, who does not understand and is not willing to understand the good strategy of people.

On the day of the Tianning Festival on October 10, that is, Zhao Ji's birthday, Zhao Ji, who had been imprisoned by Zhao Huan for more than six months, poured a full glass of wine and drank it himself, and then poured a full cup for Zhao Huan to drink, but Zhao Huan did not drink it under Geng Nanzhong's reminder, Zhao Ji was heartbroken and cried into the palace, and then Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan, the two fathers and sons, had a tendency to die of old age and not get along.

But after Zhao Ji was angry, he still couldn't let go of the nearly 200-year-old Jiangshan Sheji of the Zhao Song Dynasty and his own life.

With his rich experience in governance, Zhao Ji concluded that Li Cun would definitely lead his army south again.

Therefore, Zhao Ji chose to forgive Zhao Huan, the great filial son, at least on the surface, and then wrote a letter to Zhao Huan, suggesting that he flee to Chang'an with Zhao Huan.

In order to curry favor with Zhao Huan, the great filial son, Zhao Ji called himself "old clumsy" every time he wrote to Zhao Huan, the great filial son, and called Zhao Huan "Your Majesty", clarifying the identity of the monarch and minister between their father and son.

Zhao Ji hopes that in this way, Zhao Huan, the great filial son, will understand that he has no intention of competing with Zhao Huan for the position of emperor, and he is not interested in the position of emperor, hoping that their father and son can let go of their suspicions and work together to protect the Zhao and Song Dynasty's rivers and mountains and save the lives of their father and son.

But even if Zhao Ji was already so groveling, his suggestion was still not adopted by Zhao Huan, not only that, but Zhao Huan still guarded his father Zhao Ji like a thief.

But then again, although Zhao Huan did not choose to take the advice of the seed master Dao and Zhao Ji, leave Bianliang City, Tokyo, and take refuge in Chang'an, but since Li Miao, many people have given early warning to the Zhao Song court, and even directly to Zhao Huan himself, including Li Ruoshui and Wu Ge, who were sent by Zhao Huan's order to envoy Li Cun, and they all sent people back to tell Zhao Huan in a conclusive manner: "Emperor Daqian has the intention of devouring, and he will be killed if he enters the palace." Begging to put aside the side affairs, and the western soldiers were raised to help the capital. ”

After Zhao Huan read these recitals, he hesitated and half-believed.

After thinking about it, Zhao Huan still felt that he should be able to get Li Cun by negotiating peace, after all, he was already willing to give Hebei and Hedong to Li Cun, and Li Cun should be content, otherwise he would be too greedy.

Therefore, Zhao Huan still has great hopes for Li Cun to withdraw from the army through peace talks.

On the other hand, Zhao Huan's ministers engaged in liquidation, so that a large number of ministers of the Zhao and Song dynasties could not be trusted and used.

When Zhao Huan came back to his senses a little, he was stunned to find that the Zhao Song Dynasty, which was originally full of talents, suddenly became a little lacking in talents, especially the ministers who could help Zhao Huan with ideas at the national level.

Zhao Huan hurriedly issued an edict and said: "Cultivating political affairs depends entirely on talents. Talent is very difficult, and it should be cherished, how can a life be wasted because of a small mistake? Except for the fact that it is a coercion and rape against the government, the crime is clear, and it cannot be appointed, the rest are included with the talent. Don't say that Cai Jing, Wang Hao, Tong Guan, and Liang Shicheng were recommended by their predecessors, so they were all abandoned. Shushi leather heart, in order to use the time. The officials of the three provinces and Taiwan deeply understood this meaning to show their justice. ”

It's a pity that Zhao Huan realized at this time that he had played with his ministers who were introverts and outsiders, but it was a little too late.

Soon, Zhao Huan Junchen received the news that Fenzhou had been broken by the cadre army.

Zhang Kejian, the governor of Fenzhou, learned that the city was lost, put on court clothes, lit incense, faced the direction of Bianliang, Tokyo, and cried while kneeling: "The minister is not guarding the city for the imperial court, because Zhang Hao led the troops to sneak away, and there was no one in the city, causing the city to fall." The minister knows that he can't go out to see His Majesty, but he can only repay the court with death! ”

After speaking, Zhang Kejian wanted to hang himself, and the other eight people in his family also wanted to die together.

However, Zhang Kejian's family was rescued by the soldiers of the Qianjun army who invaded his house and sent them to Li Cun.

At this point, Zhao Huan Junchen began to believe that Li Cun had led a large army to attack the Song Dynasty again.

Although he knew that Li Cun was coming again, Zhao Huan Junchen still insisted that as long as they promised to give Hebei and Hedong to Li Cun, Li Cun would definitely lead his troops to retreat.

However, it is not without people of insight that Li Cun's attack on the Song Dynasty this time is to destroy the Zhao and Song Dynasty, so he will definitely cross the Yellow River and attack Bianliang City in Tokyo again.

Both Seed Master Dao and Zhao Ji saw this, and wrote to Zhao Huan, asking Zhao Huan to immediately escape from Bianliang City, Tokyo, flee to Shaanxi, and raise troops to resist.

However, Zhao Huan, Tang Ke, Geng Nanzhong, Nie Chang and other ministers of the Zhao and Song dynasties, because the Song army was repeatedly defeated in battles against the Qian army, thought that the Song army could not be the opponent of the Qian army at all, and it was better to cede Hebei and Hedong to the Great Qian Dynasty in exchange for the temple and peace of the Zhao and Song Dynasty.

And if peace is negotiated with the Daqian Dynasty, there is no need for Zhao Huan to take refuge in Shaanxi.

Therefore, Zhao Huan did not grasp his last chance.

On the other hand, He Li went to the table and reminded Zhao Huan that he had to order the states of the Zhao Song Dynasty to come to King Qin.

Zhao Huan accepted He Li's suggestion and ordered the king of all states in the world to delay his coming, and the official should be engaged in military law.

On this day, the terminally ill Planter Dao was carried back to Bianliang City, Tokyo.

After Zhao Huan sent his inner servants to visit the Seed Master Dao, he appointed Fan Ne to replace the Seed Master Dao as the Xuanfu Envoy of Hebei Hedong Road, and the former Xuanfu Envoy Staff Officer Zhi Yanzhi served as the deputy envoy of the Xuanfu of Hebei Hedong Road.

A few days later, he died of unwillingness in Bianliang City, Tokyo, at the age of 76.

Zhao Huan personally went to pay tribute to the Seed Master Dao and wept for it.

Thanking the seed master for fighting for the Zhao Song Dynasty for more than 60 years, Zhao Huan issued an order to drop out of the dynasty for five days, and gave the seed master Taoist clothes, coffins, dragon brain, and musk navel to be buried, and gave the opening of the palace with the three divisions.

It can be said that the master was the most sober military strategist of the Zhao and Song dynasties during this period, and he offered Zhao Huan many times good strategies to save the country.

The first time was, after Yao Pingzhong failed to rob the camp, he suggested going to the camp again, and going every night, and he would definitely be able to retreat from the enemy within ten days.

The second time was when the cadres withdrew northward, he suggested that they should attack when they crossed the Yellow River, so that the cadres might not dare to come again next year.

The third time was that when he first served as the Xuanfu envoy of Hedong, Hebei, Hebei, he suggested that Zhao Huan dispatch troops and horses from Guanzhong, Hebei, and Hedong to fortify along the line of Cang, Wei, Meng, and Hua, and concentrate superior forces to fortify.

The fourth time was, he suggested that Zhao Huan should not remotely control the Song army to rescue Taiyuan Mansion, and let him unify the command of Song Army to rescue Taiyuan Mansion.

The fifth time was that shortly before his death, he suggested that Zhao Huan quickly leave Bianliang City, Tokyo, and go to Chang'an to avoid the enemy's edge.

It's a pity that Zhao Huan didn't listen to the seed master once.

Not only that, Zhao Huan and these important ministers around him who didn't understand military affairs at all, after listening to the military advice of the military master, they were still skeptical.

After hearing the news of the death of the seed master, many people with lofty ideals all looked up to the sky and sighed, feeling that the Zhao and Song dynasties were about to come to an end!

Someone wrote a hymn to the Tao of the Planter:

This man is strong, and he is strong. At the end of the first section, bless me with the three saints. After a hundred battles, it is expected to be won. Raise the teacher to help, and the thief threatens to order. Stacking paintings is a good idea, and everyone listens to it. Cutting land increases coins, and ugliness is beneficial. The Great Wall of China is a screen. If there is no reluctance, there is no certainty in chaos. The flag was dark, and the soldiers and people were choked. Yu Lie is clear, and Fang Ce is unique.
