Chapter 213: Zhao Ji abdicated

The news of Jin Liao's large-scale invasion spread in Kaifeng City during this time. The Manchu civil and military generals were suspicious, and soon news came from Taiyuan and the Daimyo's Mansion, confirming the authenticity of the Jin-Liao joint invasion.

At this time, the civil and military officials panicked, gathered at the palace gate, and asked the officials to quickly set up a court and make a decision.

The Tokyo Evening News also reported the news of the invasion of the Jin and Liao people every day, and accused the Song Dynasty officials and the imperial court of being ineffective in the face of the invasion of the two countries, and did not take any rescue measures at all.

The eunuch on duty ignored the obstruction of Liang Sicheng and Li Yan, who hurried back, and went to Wanshou Mountain to invite the official's family out.

The official family finally ascended to the palace and set up a dynasty, Wang Hao and others invaded Jin Liao on a large scale, if they did not quickly dispatch troops to resist the enemy army, I was afraid that the Beijing division would be in danger.

After Zhao Ji heard this, he was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground from the dragon seat.

He muttered to himself, "How is this good... Is this how is it good? ”

After thinking for a while, he suddenly seemed to have made a major decision, stood up resolutely, and announced an unexpected decision loudly: "Liang Sicheng quickly sent someone to ask the prince to return to the throne, my Dan appointment has reached a critical moment, and it cannot be delayed." ”

The civil and military officials immediately made preparations for the new emperor's accession to the throne, and the enthronement ceremony was held as soon as the crown prince returned. Retreat! ”

After Zhao Ji finished announcing, he quickly ran towards Wanshou Mountain in the palace. A group of eunuchs hurriedly followed behind......

However, he said that after the crown prince Zhao Gou got the news from Fang La on the way north, he was really shocked. Immediately, he told Yang Jian that he would quickly withdraw his troops to defend the Yellow River crossing north of Kaifeng, and the Northern Guard Beijing Division.

He himself led people to retreat to the capital division. After walking for three days, I met Liang Sicheng and conveyed the will of the official family.

Zhao Gou read his father's abdication edict, and was happy and worried. I am happy that I am about to become the emperor and become the master of the splendid country of the Great Song Dynasty.

What worries me is that after the invasion of hundreds of thousands of troops in Jinliao and the layoffs of troops in various parts of the north, the defense strength has been greatly reduced.

After being stunned for a while, he said in his heart: The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge. After becoming the emperor first, after holding the power, and then asking the ministers, there is naturally a solution.

So the order was given, Guan Sheng and the generals led the army to the rear, and he and Qin Hui advanced lightly with Ren Yuan and four thousand musketeers.

Six days later, Zhao Goufei rode to the capital.

Zhao Ji passed the decree, and in extraordinary times, he immediately arranged for the new emperor to take over the throne.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhao Gou officially claimed that the emperor succeeded to the throne and changed the year name to the first year of Jingkang, which was Emperor Gaozong.

After the succession ceremony was completed, Zhao Gou and Baiguan Gong sent the Emperor Taishang into hiding.

Zhao Gou sat on the dragon chair with great ambition and asked the civil and military officials: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have newly ascended to the great treasure, and I have encountered the joint invasion of the Jin Liao army, may I ask you what are the best strategies to resist the enemy." ”

At the moment, an old man came out of the military attache group, and everyone saw that this was the descendant of Cao Bin, the founding father of the Great Song Dynasty, and the hereditary forbidden army was the commander of Wu'an Hou Cao Gang.

He went out and played: "Last year, His Majesty the Emperor misheard the advice of a traitor, vigorously disarmed, and cut the cost of the army, so that the entire northern defense was empty and there were no troops available. ”

"And Wang Hao and Yang Jian, who are Zaifu, only know how to flatter and favor, and they have no ability to govern the country and stabilize the world."

"Your Majesty should first take down the two thieves to thank the world. If the wise men of the world return to their hearts and resist the enemy with one heart, although Jin Liao is ferocious, there may not be no people who dare to die to retreat from the enemy. ”

Uncle Zhang also came out of the class Qin and said: "The old marquis is reasonable, go to the traitor first, and no one can move his hind legs, so that someone can come forward and contribute to the country." ”

"And these two traitors are not the only ones, Qin Hui, Zhang Bangchang, and Liu Yu are not relying on the two of them to get to the top."

"Besides, at the beginning, Yang Jian, Wang Hao, and Qin Hui knew that Jin Liao was married, and they also vigorously advocated that our Great Song Dynasty form an alliance with Jin State to jointly deal with Liao State."

"Spending millions of dollars of fine iron and grain in vain, to put it mildly, they are capital enemies. To put it more seriously, they are the golden dogs of the Litto. ”

Speaking of disarmament, it was originally to remove Zhou Dong's military power, and Zhao Gou himself also assumed a disgraceful role in the middle.

But for an alliance with the Jin, he also did not think it was necessary. It's just that at that time, his father and emperor heard that the sixteen states of Yanyun could be recovered, and he was moved. Now that I think about it, this is really a trick of the golden people. But Qin Hui and the others are their confidants, how can they be easily abandoned.

As soon as Uncle Zhang finished speaking, he spoke: "Disarmament and alliance with the Jin people really shouldn't be. But the son doesn't say anything about the father, and I can't say too much about the father's not. ”

"But Wang Hao, as the prime minister and the head of the hundred officials, can't see what is powerful, but actively promotes it."

"Even I heard that in order to deceive the materials in my Great Song Dynasty, the Jin people gave Prime Minister Wang a lot of benefits at that time."

When Wang Hao heard the new emperor say this, he knew that he was going to unload the mill and kill the donkey, so he hurriedly went out of work and knelt down and cried: "As the prime minister, I really didn't expect that it would bring so much harm to the country, and I am now willing to resign from all official positions and go home to retire." ”

Qin Hui came out and knelt down and said: "The major national affairs are bad for this old horseman, his family should be raided, the men should be distributed, and the female dependents should be enslaved." ”

That Wang Xiangye looked at Qin Hui like an animal, and said in his heart: It turns out that you are really a chameleon!

After Qin Hui finished speaking, Zhao Gou immediately played the quasi-play, ordering him and Taiwei Gao Yu to immediately lead troops to raid the palace.

This Gao Yu raided Tong Guan's home, and then went to raid Prime Minister Wang's house, and soon won the nickname of "Raider Taiwei" in the city of Tokyo.

dealt with a big traitor, and the civil and military officials felt a little at ease.

Li Ruoshui, the governor of the council, said: "Your Majesty should immediately send an edict to the southern state capitals, raise troops and serve the king, and the soldiers from all over the country should quickly gather in Tokyo. The minister estimated that there were not enough troops in the north to stop Jin Liao from moving south. ”

And as soon as the moon arrived, the Yellow River froze, and the Yellow River existed in name only. Therefore, we should have the superior forces and engage the enemy in a fierce battle near Tokyo. Don't take chances to rely on the natural dangers of the Yellow River to stop the enemy north of the Yellow River. ”

Uncle Zhang played again: "Li Ruoshui Li's opinion is very pertinent, please follow your majesty." In addition, the minister added that all the prefectures and counties within a hundred miles of the several routes from Taiyuan to Kaifeng and the Daimyo Mansion to Kaifeng are to implement the clear of the wilderness. The county does not leave soldiers, concentrates on the state, and strives to protect the state city. ”

"The people temporarily join their relatives and friends or gather in the state capital, especially the squires in various places who are very rich, unless there are more than 1,000 Zhuang soldiers and strong and tall village courtyards that can protect themselves, they will all be forcibly relocated, and the grain will be buried deep on the spot."

"At that time, the Jin people will not be able to plunder enough food, and the logistics will not be able to keep up, so they will naturally retreat."

"In addition, the country is in turmoil. The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and no one could compare with Zong Ze in war. No one in governing the country can compare with Li Gang, and the ministers are ashamed of themselves. Please ask Your Majesty to recall Li Gang to return to the DPRK as an auxiliary government, and the country will be very fortunate. ”

Li Ruoshui and Zhang Shuye, two capable ministers, came up with several clever plans to alleviate the urgent need one after another, and Zhao Gou said that after deliberation, they would implement it, but only the issue of calling Li Gang back to the court, Zhao Gou never let go.

Early the next morning, at the meeting of the monarch and the minister, Zhao Gou announced that Qin Hui would be promoted to the rank of Pingzhangshi (Prime Minister) under the Tongzhong Shumen, Li Ruoshui and Zhang Bangchang participated in the governor's affairs, and the rest of the hundred official positions remained unchanged. Since then, the court of the Great Song Dynasty has entered the Qin Hui era......
