Chapter 154: Preparing to Go North
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not expect it, and Zhao Chongyang did not expect that the seven or eight adult sons of the Great Song Dynasty official family were standing there, and none of them had the responsibility, and they would rather not want the throne than take risks. At the critical moment, only Emperor Maude showed her true colors. It's true: the official family of the Great Song Dynasty is full of dogs, and only one woman is better than her husband.
Zhao Ji was furious, and immediately issued an edict to abolish Zhao Huan's position as the crown prince, and set up Zhao Fujin as the imperial concubine. Because these princes are really embarrassed, they will never be able to hold the country in their hands in the future.
Then, Zhao Ji passed down the holy decree: the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, Zhao Chongyang, the marquis of the border, was appointed as the deputy envoy for negotiations in the north, and he had full authority to transfer elites and form a good escort team for the empress dowager to go north.
After Zhao Chongyang received the holy decree, he said to the emperor and the civil and military officials: "The official, the minister thinks that the alliance is a matter that is beneficial to both parties, and he can't let the Jin people ask for a price, whatever he says is what he says." We also have to put forward our own conditions: first, before the covenant is reached, all the materials we transport will be placed on the ship, and after the agreement is reached, it will be handed over to them.
The second is that the crown princess is the prince of a country, and safety is of paramount importance, and the escort team after going ashore should be increased to 500 people, and we will not go without this number. And we signed a covenant in Shenyang Mansion in Zhongjing, and it was already very cold when we went to Beijing, and we were not used to it.
Third, when signing the agreement, we should strive to manage the territory that is seized by which side after the war, and it is not that the Jin people said that we only need the sixteen states of Yanyun, and all the rest are theirs. ”
Zhao Ji asked the civil and military officials again: "What do you think of Aiqing's suggestion?" ”
Zong Ze said: "Dingbian Hou is reasonable, you can't let the Jin people lead the way. ”
Wang Hao: "Although the opinion of the Dingbian Marquis is also for the country, if they offend the Jin State because of this, they turn around and form an alliance with the Liao, wouldn't it be dangerous for our Great Song Dynasty." ”
"A lot of the land and population of the Liao people were robbed by the Jin, and it doesn't mean that they can form an alliance if they form an alliance." Li Gang said.
Cai Jing: "The officials may wish to send someone to convey Zhao Chongyang's opinion to Jin Guo, if they want to reach an agreement, they will naturally agree." If they just use this to explore the bottom line of our Great Song Dynasty, then according to this proposal, we will also take the initiative to rebuild the agreement next time. ”
So Zhao Ji passed on the decree and asked the Ministry of Rites to tell the Jin people the three principles proposed by our Zhao Chongyang......
The next day, after receiving a reply from the Great Song Dynasty, Jin Wushu was a little surprised: "I thought that this body and the first beauty of the Great Song Dynasty would no longer have a fate, but who knew that this time not only Zhao Chongyang could be removed, but also Zhao Fujin could be regained." Five hundred guards are five hundred guards, and the extra three hundred are under the siege of tens of thousands of troops, but a few hundred dead ghosts are left. ”
In this way, in order to trick Zhao Chongyang into going to the Jin Kingdom, Jin Wushu completely agreed with the opinion of the Song Dynasty......
When Zhao Chongyang returned home in the early morning, he first brought Zhu Wu and asked him to draw up a plan for the transfer of generals and the navy to the north, and he himself went to meet the father and son of the eighth prince through the secret passage.
After the prince heard about the latest changes in the imperial court, Zhao Binghua smiled and said: "In this way, as long as the princess ascends the throne in the future, after she becomes the emperor for a few years, she can directly place the throne in you, so that you can avoid many troubles." ”
The eighth prince said: "You are still too young, and you only see the surface and the simple side of things. It must be known that as soon as the princess ascends the throne, she will inevitably reuse Zhao Chongyang, Li Gang, Zhang Shuye and others, then Cai Jing, Wang Hao, Yang Jian, Li Yan, Liang Shicheng and others will never be willing to lose their authority, they may arrange in advance, collude inside and outside, and re-support an obedient prince, and then find all kinds of excuses that they can't pass the throne to a woman, and ask for this prince to be the prince. At this time, the crisis has passed, and Zhao Ji will also think that after the country is passed to the princess, it will be another family in the future. As long as a subordinate proposes it, he will replace the princess. Wait and see. ”
Zhao Chongyang said: "Uncle Eight Wang is right, I and Brother Shizi Wang have made things simple. Maybe as soon as we leave Beijing, someone in Beijing will propose to change the prince. It seems that I still have to be prepared to leave the power center of the Jingshi at any time. ”
Subsequently, the three of them discussed some issues. Zhao Chongyang said to the eighth prince: "I heard that a few days ago, Goryeo sent people to Taisong for help, and the Jin man Wanyan Zonghan led 150,000 troops to invade them.
Now that they have moved their capital to Seoul, they hope that the Great Song Dynasty will help them recover their lost territory. I don't know if Brother Wang is willing to go there and be the lord of a powerful country, if you are willing, I will send someone with you to drive the Jin people away, and practice benevolent government there, so that the people there can live a happy life.
When I send troops to attack the Jinren, you will send a surprise army in Goryeo, and the Jinren will be caught off guard. ”
The prince of the eight princes didn't dare to be self-conscious, but just looked at the eight princes. The Eight Kings said: "You want my Eight Kings and one family to become powerful in the future and become the lord of a country." I can promise you that. It's just that now is not the time, and after the destruction of the country in Goryeo, we will send troops to drive away the brutal Jin people and rescue the Goryeo people from the dire situation, so that they will sincerely obey our rule. ”
The eighth prince's scheming made Zhao Chongyang have to admire......
The next day, Zhao Chongyang and Zhu Wu made a list of the operatives. The guards are one and one dark: the secret guard is captained by Chai Jin, and Zhu Wu is the deputy captain, and the military division. Chao Gai, Li Kui, Yan Qing, Li Yun, Liu Tang and others were all assigned to Chai Jin's command.
The escort team is composed of several female generals and male generals: Fang Baihua, Pang Qiuxia, Qiu Qiongying, and the princess's maids Wang Yuer and Liu Yeer, who serve as the princess's personal maids. And Duan Sanniang, Hu Jinfeng, Ye Hongyan, Duanmuxiu and others became the princess's female bodyguards.
The rest of the generals were Lu Junyi, Fang Tianjie, Lu Da, Wu Song, Pang Wanchun, Qiu Qionghu, Shi Jin, Shi Qian, Dai Zong, Yuan Lang, Nangong Yongjie, and Fang Tianjun.
After receiving the notice, all the generals from afar were required to meet at Shuibo Liangshan, and after two months of intensive training there, they would take a boat north to Dalian Mansion in Jimo, the capital of Jiaozhou, in late July. Then go north from Dalian to Shenyang.
Because of the tight schedule, the letter from the Northwest Governor's Mansion was handed over to the beggars that afternoon. Due to the transfer of some generals to join the escort team, Zhao Chongyang also suggested in the text message that the master should set up one less military town directly under him.
The formation of the navy was entrusted to Li Jun, Qian Xiaobo, Zhang Shun, and Ruan Xiaoqi, and the navy was mainly drawn from Jiangnan, Sado Island, Nagasaki and other places. Li Jun was appointed as the commander, Qian Xiaobo was appointed as the deputy commander and chief of staff, and Zhang Shun and Ruan Xiaoqi were appointed as the deputy commanders......
Here, just after the matter of going north was agreed, Liu Jinbang brought a group of scholars from Jiangnan to participate in this year's autumn examination competition to the capital. After Zhao Chongyang picked them up, he still asked Bai Xiaohe and Wang Dakuan to arrange them in a quiet courtyard, find good people, and let them concentrate on the questions. Dozens of mock questions related to this year's scientific examination, ""Zhao Chongyang has been prepared for a long time.
Originally, he planned to have time, but Zhao Chongyang was ready to personally accompany them to discuss, but now it seems that he can't do it. This time, there were many scholars who participated in the discussion and study. There are Liu Jinbang and Liu Jinkui, two Liu Jiaqi departments, and Liu Jinbo.
The Jiangnan family also came to Fang La's three sons and nephews, Fang Tiancai, Fang Tianhua, and Fang Tiankang. Their Zhao family also has two people named Zhao Yuntian and Zhao Yunling this year, and Zhou Daifu and their Zhou family also have a Zhou Daiqing. In addition, the Ma family, the Wang family, and the Li family in Nanjing are all relatives of the Liu family, and now they have joined the Wantong Chamber of Commerce, so they naturally have a closer relationship with the Zhao family. There are a total of five lifters in the three families, plus Zhang Shuye's two sons, a total of more than ten lifters. Zhang Zhiye's two sons, Zhao Chongyang, gave Zhang a certificate, as long as they study with Liu Jinbang and them from beginning to end, they will ensure that both brothers are in high school......
