Chapter Seventy-Four: Zhao Gou's Forbearance
Zhao Gou sat on the throne, looking at Zhang Tonggu shaking his head and tail, wantonly demonstrating, his face was extremely ugly!
"Envoy Zhang has been tired all the way, and he will rest at the post house for a while, let me wait for the monarch and ministers to discuss before making a decision!"
"Good! Within three days, I hope that His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty will make a decision! If you fail to meet the request of His Majesty the Emperor Dajin, the army will go south in an instant! All the consequences will be borne by you, Da Song. ”
After leaving this cruel sentence, Zhang Tonggu left the court triumphantly.
After seeing Zhang Tonggu leave, Zhao Gou looked depressed and sighed, "The Jin people asked for this, what do you think to do with it?" ”
Zuo Xiang Lu Yihao snorted coldly, "That Zhang Tonggu is so arrogant, is there no one who deceives me in the Great Song Dynasty?" How can such humiliating conditions be granted? I also asked the official and quasi-ministers to lead the troops to go out to the battle, even if the body is buried in the yellow sand, it will grow a long time. ”
Qin Hui sneered, "Xianggong is now old, he can't get on a war horse, he can't pull a bow and crossbow, in my opinion, it's better to send a soldier as soon as possible, go home and pick up his grandson." ”
Lu Yihao was furious, and he wanted to smash the wat board in his hand at Qin Hui, but Zhu Shengfei pulled him again, "Xiang Gong is angry, and the court is facing each other with fists and feet, and the problem cannot be solved." ”
Zhao Gou didn't want to be tough with Jin Ren at all, so he opened his mouth and asked Qin Hui, "What does Qin Xiang think this matter should be handled?" ”
Qin Hui bowed down a little proudly, "Official, this matter is simple and simple, the Jin people sent the envoy this time, it is nothing more than my Great Song Dynasty defeated the thief Liu Yu, Liu Yu asked for help from the Jin people!" That pseudo-Qi was supported by the Jin people, and the pseudo-Qi was beaten, how could the Jin people's faces be hung up? Now the Jin people three-way army invaded the south, and it was like the repetition of the Jingkang war, and the ministers thought that if they fought, Kaifeng would not be protected, and the emperor would be humiliated twice. ”
Zhao Gou said impatiently, "The Jin people invaded the south, and the fall of Kaifeng City was inevitable!" I know in my heart, I just want to ask you, what can be done in this matter to calm the anger of the Jin people? Protect me Big Song Kangning. ”
Lu Yihao sighed, this is the official family of the Great Song Dynasty, and he has already shown cowardice in his heart before he fights! Now that Kaifeng has Zong Ze, Han Shizhong, Li Gang and others presiding over the overall situation, and there are Hebei rebels active north of the Yellow River, how can Kaifeng easily fall?
He glanced at the surrender faction led by Qin Hui again, and there was a trace of loneliness and unwillingness in his eyes, the current Great Song Dynasty is no longer the period of Emperor Taizu!
Qin Hui's eyes grunted, and he had a poisonous plan in his heart, "If you want to protect my Great Song Kangning, you must first agree to the conditions of the Jin people." ”
Zhao Gou's face changed, and he asked suspiciously, "What do you mean...... And to cede large tracts of land? ”
Qin Hui shook his head and said with a smile, "No, we don't need to cede land. However, the condition proposed by the Jin people to remove Zong Ze, Shen Wanshu, Lu Haowen, Han Shizhong and others must be agreed, so that the anger of the Jin people can be calmed. ”
Zhao Gou pondered for a moment, "Zong Ze, Lu Haowen, Shen Wanshu, and Han Shizhong are now presiding over Kaifeng's military affairs, if they are rashly dismissed, how can they explain to the subjects of the world?" ”
Qin Hui sneered in his heart, he already knew that Zhao Gou would say this, "Official, the envoy of the Jin people has already said that these people are rude to the Jin people, which annoys them to send troops south, if they are deposed, and then give up Puzhou, Shangzhou and other places to the pseudo-Qi, it is expected that the Jin people will stop fighting." ”
Wang Boyan echoed casually, "What Qin Xiang said is extremely true! Now my Great Song Dynasty and the Jin people are at odds, all because these people shout and shout to kill, which annoys them, if the Song and Jin live in peace and the people live and work in peace and contentment, why bother with the gains and losses of several cities and places? ”
"That's it! provoked a war for no reason, annoyed the Jin people, if the Jin people captured Kaifeng and took advantage of the situation to go south, how to resist? If these people were not dismissed, the wrath of the thunder of the golden people was leveled. ”
"The minister seconded the proposal! Puzhou and Shangzhou were already rampant with bandits, and my Great Song Dynasty could not effectively control them, so it was better to let Yu Yu Pseudo-Qi. ”
……
The surrender faction glanced at me and moved, "Zhu Qing also has some truth in what he said, even so, dismiss Zong Ze and the others, and do it!" ”
Lu Yihao agreed when he saw that the official family was like this, and shouted sharply, "Your Majesty, this matter must not be allowed, the reason why the Jin people have not dared to use troops for a long time is that they are afraid of the old general Zong, if they remove Zong Ze and others, it will be like cutting off their arms." ”
Zhao Gou waved his hand and said, "Now that the treasury is empty and the people's livelihood is withering, how can we support the war against Jin?" I have made up my mind, and I don't need to admonish you again! ”
Qin Hui was secretly proud in his heart, this was exactly the result he wanted, "The official family is sage!" As for the compensation for war losses and annual coins proposed by the Jin people, the minister thought it should be accurate! ”
Zhao Gou felt a pain in his heart, but he still couldn't help but ask, "Tell me the reason for the quasi-action!" ”
Qin Hui coughed twice, cleared his throat and said, "In the first year of Jingde, my Great Song Dynasty signed a peace treaty with Liao, and Song and Liao were about a brotherly country, and my Great Song Dynasty gave Liao 100,000 taels of silver and 200,000 horses of silk every year, and Song Liao took the Baigou River as the boundary. Since then, there has been no large-scale war between the Song and Liao countries for a hundred years, and the courtesies are still exchanged, the envoys are diligent, and the world is peaceful, which creates the prosperous era of Renzong. ”
"Now if Your Majesty signs a contract with Jin, it will also be about a brotherly country, and the two sides will use the river as the boundary, and create a hundred years of peace, even if my Great Song wants to give Jin people 500,000 taels, it will be worth it! Can the official family think about it, 500,000 taels of coins can be exchanged for a hundred years of peace, but can 500,000 taels of coins feed 100,000 troops? Which is more important than the ministers, the officials should know better than the ministers. ”
Zhao Gou nodded, it seems to make sense! The first emperors were able to make an alliance with Liao and Jin, but couldn't I? It is reasonable to exchange a small amount of New Year's coins for Song Jin peace.
Zhao Gou thought it was reasonable in his heart, but Lu Yihao's temper couldn't be suppressed.
"Qin Hui Pifu, misleading the country and the people! Thou hast ...... He actually wanted to cede all the land of Hebei to the Jin people, how to face the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty after his death! Officials, such a traitorous covenant must never be accepted. ”
Zhao Gou also felt humiliated, but compared to humiliation, he was more afraid that the Jin people would be angry and lead a large army to attack Lin'an.
"Qin Qing's suggestion is the most appropriate way at the moment, Lu Qing must not persuade again, just talk to Jin Ren according to this method! Even if the Jin people wanted Xuzhou, they could negotiate, as long as they agreed to withdraw from the army. ”
When Lu Yihao saw that the official family actually counted Xuzhou as well, he was so angry that a mouthful of old blood spurted out, and the courtiers panicked.
Seeing this, Zhao Gou hurriedly asked Lu Yihao to help him down the hall and find another clean room for treatment.
Qin Hui saw that Lu Yihao was angry and angry, and his heart was even more proud, if this old guy couldn't afford to get sick, wouldn't Zuo Xiang's position be not far from him?
After Zhao Gou saw Lu Yihao being helped away, he became worried again, "It's easy to promise Jinren, but where did this year's coin come from?" Fang Jin's treasury is becoming more and more empty, how can he get the 500,000 taels of silver? ”
