Chapter 970: The Kong Clan Surrenders
This time, Song Qi was very decisive, and when the court sent his resignation, he directly took off his official hat, and then kowtowed directly to Song Yingzong Zhao Shu who was sitting on the dragon chair three times, and he got up and left, very decisive.
Song Qi left, this time Zhao Yunrang didn't stop him, a person's heart is not here, even if he stays, what's the use?
"Let Jia Xianggong concurrently serve as the third minister." After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Yun let go.
Tongping Zhangshi, that is, Prime Minister Jia Changchao, was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he stepped forward, holding the white jade board and said, "The minister obeys the order."
Jia Changchao was originally Empress Cao's person and was also an ally of Zhao Yunrang. But with Renzong being assassinated and killed, Empress Cao was also placed under house arrest in the harem, and his backer was gone. He could only submit to Zhao Yunrang's father and son's Yin Wei.
is not like Song Qi, he is dedicated to the country, and whoever is the emperor is serious about his errands, but such a person does not have so many fetters and considerations. In contrast, Jia Changchao has no self-power, and now that Zhao Yun has named him, where does he dare not accept it.
If he really doesn't answer, he will anger Zhao Yunrang, and I'm afraid he will not be able to eat and walk around.
The Great Dynasty will disperse, but still no effective solution has been found. You can only take one step at a time, and if you can defend the dragon army from the outside, you may be able to negotiate peace next.
All the courtiers returned to the mansion with an ugly face.
The Mansion of the Holy Father.
Kong Zongyuan also went to the Great Dynasty Meeting today, and he also got a new will in the court, which was to integrate all the scholars of Zhao and Song Dynasty to accuse Su Shi of the Dragon First Emperor, so as to put pressure on the other party.
Zhao Yunrang's intention was to use the mouth of a scholar to take advantage of the general trend of public opinion to pressure Su Shi to bow his head and consider peace talks.
As the head of the Kong family, the contemporary Shenggong of Xun, after Kong Zongyuan took over this task, his eyebrows were furrowed all the way back to the house.
The fundamental reason why Kong's family has been able to last for thousands of years is that they know time and things.
They know that if they divide for a long time, they will be united, and if they are separated for a long time, they will be divided.
I also know very well what is called the truth that prosperity must decline.
Looking at the thousands of years of Chinese history, no matter which dynasty was once brilliant, it still could not avoid being replaced in the end.
In times of peace, Kong was willing to be an example of scholars, and used his influence to infiltrate the court as much as possible to benefit his own family.
During the war years, they were also able to judge the situation, and at critical moments, they were willing to give up everything, withdraw from the court, and only think that they were a scholar, and then wait for the arrival of the change of dynasty.
According to past experience, the current Zhao and Song dynasties are in danger, and what the Kong clan should do is to return to their homeland, whether it is to recuperate or recuperate, or to wait and see what happens, in short, they should be low-key and dormant.
The reason is that Kong Zongyuan understands, but the problem is that he can't retreat now if he wants to, all because his cousin Kong Changzai had a hot fight with Li Tang, and he is still known by the imperial court.
It is said that Kong's two-sided betting is also a way of survival, which is nothing. But the bad thing is that the matter has been exposed, and now Li Tang has been destroyed by Su Shi, so they are more embarrassed.
Zhao Yunrang even said this thing, and asked Kong Zongyuan to do something at this time, otherwise, hehe, then I'm sorry, we will settle the new account and the old account together.
It's also common sense to apologize for doing something wrong. When Zhao Yunrang made this request, whether Kong Zongyuan wanted to do it or not, he could only do it first.
It's just a matter of doing it, how to do it, Kong Zongyuan thinks that there is still an article to do.
The current situation is clear, the Dragon Empire is powerful, if one is not good, Zhao Song will be replaced, at this time, it is absolutely impossible to offend Su Shi, otherwise, what will he do if he goes back and settles accounts with himself?
Thinking that people evaluate Su Shi, they all say that his people will take revenge, it seems that his mind is not very broad, and Kong Zongyuan is a head and two big.
I really don't want to offend Su Shi, but now Zhao Yunrang is still in charge, he gave the will, and he can't help but obey it, it's really a headache.
Back in the mansion, Kong Zongyuan locked himself in the study, he wanted to be alone and quiet, to see if he could think of a good way to get through the difficulties.
Dangdang...
Outside the study, suddenly the butler's knock on the door came, "Master, when a greeting post is delivered, it is said that it can solve the danger in front of you, master."
Hearing that someone was coming, Kong Zongyuan didn't want to deal with it. He didn't know that most of the people who came to see him were scholars, and they just wanted to use the name of Kong to give them a good future.
I don't know how many such people there are every day, and if I see all of them, then I don't have to do anything.
I wanted to open my mouth to refuse, but when I heard that the other party had a way to solve my immediate crisis, Kong Zongyuan hesitated for a while, but decided to meet him. "Send me the prayer post."
The housekeeper opened the door and carefully presented a post to Kong Zongyuan, and then when he opened it and saw the payment, he couldn't help but stare at it, and then said to the outside world with something in mind: "Please enter the main hall! No, go to the most secluded side room, and you will be outside in a moment, and no one will be allowed to approach."
Soon, in the side hall, Kong Zongyuan waited for the guests, and after seeing the visitor, he said with a little nervousness: "Xianggong Wenyan, when did you come back?"
"Hehe, Sheng Gong Xun, the old man knows what you want to ask, so he might as well tell you that the official family and King Pu don't know about my return." After Wen Yanbo said this with a smile, he found a chair and sat down by himself.
Wen Yanbo has been in Bianliang City for many years, and the people he knows are naturally not a few, and there are many people in power. For him, there are still many ways to quietly enter Bianliang City, which is not blocked.
Not only that, but he even knew clearly what was happening in the court today.
It was precisely knowing what was going on that he went straight to the Confucian Mansion. What he received this time was the task of convincing Kong, and whether he could remove the word acting deputy foreign affairs from his head depends on how he behaves this time.
Wen Yanbo got straight to the point, but he was taken aback by Kong Zongyuan.
This Wen Yanbo had received a mission to Li Tang's alliance before, but soon after that, the news came that Suzhou had been broken and Li Tang had been destroyed. At that time, everyone thought that Wen Yanbo must have died there.
This is also the reason why as soon as Wen Yanbo's prayer post appeared, Kong Zongyuan was so nervous.
Even if the emperor didn't know about it, and seeing Wen Yanbo's appearance, he didn't want to talk to the emperor and King Pu, Kong Zongyuan asked carefully, "Then Xianggong Wen Yan's coming this time..."
also knowing what Kong Zong was willing to ask, Wen Yanbo laughed and said, "This time, the old man came over on the order of the First Emperor Long, haha, the Holy Prince, the First Emperor has been thinking about you."
"What? Sue... He's thinking about me?" As soon as this sentence came out, Kong Zongyuan was taken aback.
"That's right, the mission that the First Emperor gave to the old man was to come to see the Holy Father. Kong is an example and role model for scholars, and your influence is very great. And now that the Dragon Empire is strong and sweeping through the Eight Desolations, on the other hand, the Zhao and Song Dynasty has reached the time when it is exhausted, O Sheng Gong, have you ever considered where the future will go?" Wen Yanbo didn't mean to be too polite, and quickly pointed out the topic, and he also believed that Kong Zongyuan must already have his little Jiujiu in his heart at this meeting.
Hearing these words, Kong Zongyuan also knew what this concern meant, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of joy.
It seems that Su Shi also attaches great importance to himself, if this is the case, he has nothing to worry about.
What Kong Zongyuan is most afraid of is to meet people who are unreasonable or do not value him Kong. If that's the case, it's just that Xiucai met a soldier, and it can't be explained.
But as long as he knew the importance of Kong's family, he would have some confidence when he came into contact with such a person.
"Hahaha, I see, it's easy to say, it's easy to say." After knowing the origin of Wen Yanbo, Kong Zongyuan's heart finally let go at this time. I was worried before
, In the face of Zhao Yunrang, how to complete the task assigned to him?
If you don't make a good one, it will attract the unhappiness of Su Shi. Now, with Wen Yanbo as an intermediary, he knows how to grasp the proportions of those things.
......
Chen Liucheng.
It is an important city of the Zhao and Song dynasties west of Tianfu and south of Bianliang City.
Now it has been given the important mission of guarding the south gate of Bianliang.
Su Shi's route to attack Zhao Song was different from what many people had imagined before, he did not advance from north to south, nor did he come from south to north. On the contrary, he started before the western border, first solved the 600,000 western troops that Zhao Song could fight, and then went straight into Suzhou City like a trench, completely dividing the entire Zhao and Song Dynasty into two.
After taking Suzhou, Su Shi did not continue to go south, and even ignored Zeng Gongliang's 300,000 troops there, suddenly turned to the north, and carried out the technique of flanking the north and south with Lu Siqiao, who marched from the north.
Such an unexpected style of play completely made Zhao Song fall into passivity.
Originally, it was thought that if Zhao Song came from north to south, they would be able to snipe with the help of their huge size. The 600,000 Western troops can also enter the battlefield at any time as needed. It is really not possible, and it is also possible to recruit troops from the south, although the quality of the soldiers there is worse than that in the north, but as long as the number is sufficient, it may not be impossible to fight a war.
At that time, Zhao Song, who has a steady stream of reinforcements, can make the Dragon Army unable to eat or swallow, and finally achieve the goal of peace talks.
