At the same time, the matter of peace talks was opposed by almost the majority of people, and there were many indications that the initiator of the Song-Jin peace talks this time turned out to be Xiao Ming, and the spearhead was directly accused of him manipulating the entire peace talks!

Xiao Ming is very strange, where did such rumors come from? I am bent on the Northern Expedition and has achieved certain results, but at this time, such a voice is heard, is it manipulating this matter? Could it be that there was a fire in the rear again, Xiao Ming didn't want to be the object of accusations behind others' backs, so he decided to investigate the matter thoroughly.

During this time, Xiao Ming was not in Hangzhou, the construction of the palace in Jinling City and the construction of the Royal Guards took up a lot of his time, and a letter from Xue Bingchang summoned him to Hangzhou, Xiao Ming entered the palace to inquire about the peace talks between Song and Jin, but Zhao Gou was evasive about the matter and refused to disclose the specific details.

At the time of the court meeting the next day, courtiers continued to come forward to impeach Xiao Ming, and Feng Lu, the chief inspector of the Supervision Bureau, used even more fierce words, claiming that Taishi Xiao Ming spent a huge amount of money in the imperial court to form the Royal Guard, but he did not really use it.

There are also more than a dozen royal historians in the imperial history, and the joint name of Xiao Ming is arrogant and arrogant, and empty talk misleads the country! Gaozong Zhao Gou sat on the throne and looked very embarrassed, Xiao Ming looked at this form and knew that things were not so simple, this matter was inevitably related to Zhao Gou, and according to Xue Bingchang's secret letter, this matter also had a great relationship with Cui Hu, the eunuch of the inner court.

However, Du Chong in the history of the left servant shot the emperor, but he played: "The Jin envoy said that Xiao Taishi secretly contacted the Jin State to plot the independence of the entire Liaodong, and sent a large amount of manpower to build a port, so that there was no progress in the war against Jin on the Eastern Front, and the northwest disposal made Zhang Jun's department not receive the silver taels and equipment and materials needed for the Northern Expedition at all!" ”

Hu Quan stepped forward and said: "Liu Guangshi also said that he did not receive silver taels and materials!" ”

Zhao Gou shook his head and said, "What does the Taishi have to say?" ”

Xiao Ming took a deep breath and suddenly smiled. He stood up and said: "Weichen has something to say, but he has nothing to say!" ”

He straightened up and glanced at the ministers and said, "Say that I spent a huge amount of imperial money to form the Royal Guard, but it didn't work?" Say that I secretly contacted Jin Guo to prepare for peace talks? May I ask which general has self-respect? Say I'm talking about misleading the country? Say I'm trying to stand on my own feet in Liaodong? Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi didn't receive the salary, which means that I embezzled and withheld it, right? ”

He turned around and waved at Zhao Gou and said, "Your Majesty, there are some things that we have already concluded before, and there is no need to fry cold rice now, what do I want to ask today?" He turned around, swept the subordinates with a cold look, and suddenly burst into a shout: "That one wants to impeach me?" Stand up and speak! ”

Some of the ministers who were directly frightened by this voice took several steps back, and Du Chong almost sat on the ground! Xiao Ming stared at Du Chong's eyes and said, "How do you know what the golden envoy said?" Who let you get in touch with the enemy country privately? Say! ”

The sweat on Du Chong's head trickled down, and he stammered: "The two countries exchange troops, but the envoys can go back and forth." Besides, at this time, Your Majesty knows that I am just a ......! Suddenly feeling that he had said something wrong, he couldn't help but sneak a glance at Zhao Gou, and when he saw Gao Zong's cold eyes, his heart was cold, and he couldn't help but really sit on the ground.

Xiao Ming glanced at Zhao Gou with Du Chong's eyes, and didn't say anything, but he continued to be angry at the ministers, "When Lao Tzu conquered Liaodong alone, why didn't you speak?" When Lao Tzu guarded the entire Jingdong East Road alone, where were you? What is war? Let those remnants of the soldiers be sent to their deaths? ”

Xiao Ming sneered: "Isn't it just to negotiate peace with Jin Guo?" Do you know the diplomatic strategy? Now that we have the upper hand in the war with Jin, they want to negotiate peace, do you know how much advantage and advantage we will take in this way? It's not nice to see Lao Tzu monopolize power, right? Do you think I like to be in this position? ”

He turned to Gaozong and said, "Your Majesty is gone, I want to resign!" ”

Zhao Gou was shocked, sweat came down from his face, and hurriedly said, "Why is the Taishi like this?" It's good to discuss, it's good to discuss! ”

"What else are you discussing?" Xiao Ming pointed behind him and said, "They don't like me, I'm still a fart!" ”

Zhao Gou hurriedly said: "Aiqing is too worried, the master knows that there is no need to resign for some criticism from others, right?" ”

Xiao Ming said: "What's the good of being tired and tired? I am also suspected of embezzlement and deduction of food and salary, don't say that the peace talks with Kim have nothing to do with me, even if it is arranged by me? Could it be that now we can eat the Jin Kingdom in one bite in the Central Plains? ”

Xiao Ming said with a straight face: "The Jin people have had three peace talks with my Great Song Dynasty, and that time it was followed, and the Song and Jin countries fought against each other, and the last time the Jin people tore up the agreement and attacked south, do we have to agree with them?" ”

"I think it's good to talk with the Jin people at this stage, you can gather them in a few fixed areas and annihilate them, even if my Great Song Dynasty tears up the agreement next time, this time I hope to arrange for several adults to participate in the peace talks to put me in the following points, we must achieve the necessary strategic goals of my Great Song Dynasty, and you need to fight for reason!"

Xiao Ming is playing hooligan and madness above the court, which has already shocked the ministers below, and what Zhao Gou thinks in his heart has been understood by Xiao Ming, so he doesn't fart a single one on it! Where did Xiao Ming ask him for his opinion? p>

After the dispersal of the dynasty, there were some ministers who carried out a series of activities, all of whom condemned Xiao Ming for being arrogant and domineering, and he was the Dong Zhuo of the world! I hope there will be righteous people to ask for it, but this is the crux of the matter, it is not so simple to bring down Xiao Ming, the subordinates of the middle and lower levels of the court are basically promoted by Xiao Ming, and Xiao Ming is also very prestigious in the army and the court.

What's more important is that Gaozong Zhao Gou's attitude is very ambiguous, on the surface, Zhao Gou obeyed Xiao Ming's words, but he seemed to be unwilling to do so, it was not Xiao Ming but Gaozong who had been hesitating in the Northern Expedition, and the time of this peace talks with Jin Guo was likely to be done by Gaozong himself, but he put the basin on Xiao Ming's head, which shows that Zhao Gou is also suspicious of Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming was very depressed after he went back, he had fallen to the point where he wanted to be subjected to the people, did he already pose a threat to Zhao Gou? He found Ding Jianpeng and raised his questions, but Ding Jianpeng looked at him with a smile and didn't say a word, Xiao Ming couldn't help but be a little anxious.

"You know history, Zhao Gou is a little sinister and stingy, but how can you make him have scruples and not dare to act rashly? Help me figure it out! ”

Ding Jianpeng said: "You are now a very powerful minister, you are in power but not controlled, how can you not be suspicious of you as a human king?" ”

"You mean ......?" Xiao Ming realized.

Ding Jianpeng said: "Wealth and power are like magic rings, all people can look at it objectively, but once they wear it on their hands, no one wants to take it off, you have wealth but not monopolism, money is used to do things in your hands, which is understandable, but where is the right?" ”

Xiao Ming said: "I know the truth that the higher you climb, the more painful it will be, but now if you don't rely on strong power, you can't do things at all!" ”

Ding Jianpeng said: "It's not true, you can exert influence if you don't have it in the court, and it's not impossible to get Gaozong to cast a rat trap on you, think about it."

Xiao Ming said: "I understand in my heart, but I always feel that it is really against heaven and harmony to do this, and there is that Song Huizong Zhao Ji, I feel disgusting when I see him now!" ”

"If you think you are a weak person, then you might as well move with me to the Ryukyu Islands and become a rich man there, but you don't have to think about changing the world!"

……

The ministers in tandem agreed that it was very difficult to move to Xiao Ming, but to reduce his power was the way, and to deal with Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun was necessary, who would be this Wang Yun? Everyone locked their eyes on Gaozong Zhao Gou.

Why is Zhao Gou suitable to be Wang Yun? No one was willing to pick it out, but the ensuing action was fruitful, thinking that within a few days, Xiao Ming was ordered to enter the palace to accompany Gaozong to drink and feast, and the banquet of the Great Song Emperor was not held often, because in the time of Renzong, the royal family's drinking banquet and singing and dancing during non-festival periods were forbidden, to put it bluntly, the emperor was poorer at that time than now!

Gaozong is a thrifty emperor, everything can be as frugal as possible, the banquet and entertainment in the palace can be exempted, today's banquet seems to be specially made for Xiao Ming, Gaozong came all the way south, even if there are not many palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, he has always been served by a big eunuch Cui Hu.

Gaozong euphemistically proposed, asking Xiao Ming to enter the palace if he was fine, not always busy outside, and at the same time said: "My sister Fumao County Lord is grateful for saving her life, and she misses Aiqing very much, and I hope to see Aiqing!" ”

Xiao Ming was really speechless about this, so he could only promise to repeat his voice, and Gao Zong said: "The princess was originally married to Cai Jing's son as a daughter-in-law by her father, but after the fall of Cai Jing's family, the marriage was abandoned, and it happened to catch up with the Jin people to besiege Tokyo, which delayed Princess Fumao's life!" "It's overwhelming.

Xiao Ming had to promise to often enter the palace to visit the princess and the queen mother, to be honest, the Empress Dowager Wei was also rescued by him, plus after Xiao Ming recovered Liaodong, in order to restrain Xiao Ming, the Jin people deliberately negotiated peace with the Great Song Dynasty, and sent back a lot of concubines and royal nobles in the harem, these people are actually very grateful to Xiao Ming, and Xiao Ming has a good reputation in the harem of the entire Great Song Dynasty!

So when Zhao Gou asked Empress Xi Wei and Empress Dowager Longyou if they could marry the lord of Fumao to Xiao Ming, everyone did not object, but there were some problems that had to be solved, that is, the princess could not be a concubine, and Xiao Ming already had three wives, one wife and two side wives, if the princess married into the Xiao family and could only be a concubine, how could this work?

So Empress Wei summoned Xiao Ming and euphemistically raised this question, Xiao Ming couldn't help but be very embarrassed, the three ladies in the family were very affectionate with him, how could he marry again, and if the wives had nothing to do, they would just pay it back, but now that there are children and daughters in the family, everyone has children left for him, what excuse do you make? So I had no choice but to refuse.

Zhao Fujin just smiled miserably when he heard this, he didn't say anything, he just didn't think about tea and dinner every day, he just kept using embroidery to pass the time, and every time he rusted a pair of embroidery, he asked someone to send it to Xiao Ming, and Xiao Ming was speechless when he scooped the embroidery.

Xue Bingchang found Xiao Ming and revealed to him why the court and the palace had to marry the lord of Fumao County to Xiao Ming, it turned out that the palace system of the Great Song Dynasty, it was impossible for any concubine to be ranked as the third prince in his life, this was a means for Taizu to control his relatives, that is, as long as Xiao Ming was a concubine, then you must hand over the entire right, Xue Bingchang advised Xiao Ming to take it seriously and not easily let go of power.

Xiao Ming could only laugh at this, it was nothing more than a trick to seize power, they thought that they seemed to be really obsessed with power, but it was really unfair to Zhao Fujin, looking at the embroidery in his hand, the mark on it was red, obviously the blood stain left by the finger being pricked by a needle, it was the princess's heart dripping blood!

At the same time, the envoy of the peace talks of the Dajin Kingdom also rushed to Hangzhou, ready to negotiate peace with Song, Xiao Ming arranged for Zhao Ding and Hu Quan and Lu Yihao as special envoys for peace talks to negotiate with the Jin envoys, but the other party asked to meet the Taishi Xiao Ming said that he wanted a letter from the Jin Emperor to be forwarded to the Taishi, which made many people can't help but think that Xiao Ming was also very cautious, but he couldn't help but meet him.
