Chapter Ninety-Two: The Curtain Has Opened

In addition, Zhao Yingluo, Yue Fei and others must also be properly handled, as for Zong Ze and Li Gang, they have always been loyal to the imperial court, but they don't have to worry about them re-establishing their brother as emperor.

After Zuo Xiang Lu Yihao learned of the contents of the letter, although he was in favor of rewarding meritorious ministers, he also vaguely sensed some dangerous signals, and there might be a risk of split in the Great Song Dynasty.

Needless to say, Qin Hui, the right minister! After the defeat of the Jin people, Wanyan Zonghan, who had just been released back to the north, immediately sent a letter to Qin Hui through an informant planted in Lin'an, in which he directly accused him of not preventing Zhao Yingluo from developing private troops in time to achieve a great defeat, and told him that if the Song court continued to resist, the Dajin Kingdom would pour all its troops south!

Of course, in addition to the element of threat, there is also a content of appeasement in the letter.

Wanyan Zonghan ordered Qin Hui to pass on the news to Zhao Gou in the letter, if the Song court deposed Zhao Yingluo and others, the Dajin Kingdom was willing to be a brotherly country with the Great Song Dynasty and enjoy peace forever.

Qin Hui immediately told Zhao Gou about Jin Guo's attitude, "Official! If you blindly indulge that Shen Wanshu and the Jin State are hostile, the Jin State is bound to raise the strength of the whole country to the south, and now we have lost a large area of land in Hexi, Hedong and Tokyo East Road, if there is another Jingkang change, I am afraid that the land of Huainan will no longer be owned by the Great Song Dynasty, and the situation is as dangerous as a tired egg! ”

"If the Jin people and my Great Song Dynasty strike the army, then the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and my Great Song Dynasty can also recuperate and recuperate, and then plan for the long term."

Zhao Gou, who was sitting on the throne, had a solemn face, and he felt that the throne under his ass would fly to Kaifeng at any time and no longer belong to him.

He turned his head and turned his gaze to Zuo Xiang Lu Yihao, "What does Lord Lu think?" ”

Lu Yihao's face is not very good-looking, he supported Zhao Yingluo earlier, that is because she can resist the Jin people, win a respite for the Great Song Dynasty, and then reorganize the army and recover the homeland. But now that there are signs of split in Kaifeng, for the sake of the Great Song Sheji, he has to think again.

"I think it's ......"

"Tochi Kang Shoe Echo!"

As soon as Zhao Gou heard that Kang Lu had returned, he hurriedly summoned him into the hall.

After the dusty Kang came back, his face was extremely bad, "Official, the slave and maid came back from inspecting Kaifeng, and there was a big harvest!" ”

"Tell me about it!"

Kang Lu took a breath, thanked Zhao Gou for the bowl of tea he had ordered, and after drinking it all, he said, "Now that the Emperor Taishang and the first emperor and the Great Song Dynasty have returned to Kaifeng, according to the investigation of the slaves, the emperor and the first emperor have great appreciation for that Shen Wanshu!" However, that Shen Wanshu's name seems to be fake! According to the comparison of multiple sources, Shen Wanshu may be Her Royal Highness the princess who disappeared after being exiled to the north, Zhao Yingluo. ”

After Kang Lu announced the news, the court suddenly exploded! If she is really Her Royal Highness the Princess, all this can be explained, and she can't complain that the Emperor Taishang is obedient to her, who makes her the Emperor's favorite daughter.

Zhao Gou was taken aback, stood up and asked, "Is it really her?" ”

Although the slave maid is not very familiar with Her Royal Highness the Princess, she can verify it through some relationships in Kaifeng and compare with the portraits of the people, and basically confirm that Shen Wanshu is Her Royal Highness the Princess Zhao Yingluo. Here's the portrait! The official should be able to recognize it. ”

Zhao Gou took the portrait presented to him, unfolded it, and was shocked! Although there is still a big gap between the portrait and his royal sister, the overall outline looks like her.

The most convincing thing is a beauty mole on the left side of her forehead near her hairline!

"It's really a royal sister! I didn't expect that the richest man in the Song Dynasty was actually the one who defeated the Jin army! Hahaha......"

When Lu Yihao heard that Shen Wanshu was the princess Zhao Yingluo, he was not happy but worried, "Why are the officials laughing?" ”

"Lu Qing, if it is a person with a foreign surname, if I deprive her of her military power, maybe she will resist stubbornly, but she is my sister, I want her to hand over her military power, how can she rebel? After all, this Great Song Dynasty is the world of the Zhao family! She also has the surname Zhao! Wouldn't it be a good thing if I accepted her soldiers, summoned her back to Lin'an to reward her, and gave her millions of acres of land to farm with peace of mind? ”

Lu Yihao asked a sharp question, "But what if she doesn't count as a rebellion?" ”

Zhao Gou asked suspiciously, "Isn't it a rebellion?" What does the Qing family mean? ”

"What if Her Royal Highness the princess does not rebel and instead uses the Emperor Taishang to set up a new monarch and preside over the government himself? …… Even, it is not impossible to emulate Tang Wucong. Now that the Song and Jin are already in a state of war, if the Great Song Dynasty is divided again, the army of the Western Xia Tiger and Wolf of the Jin Kingdom will take the opportunity to go south...... The situation will not be easy to clean up. ”

Zhao Gou's body stiffened, "She...... I don't think so, do you? ”

Lu Yihao stroked his beard and said in a deep voice, "What if she is a prince?" Raising private soldiers, accumulating money and food, welcoming the second emperor and the clan back to the south, does this series of measures seem to have the intention of rebellion? ”

"This ......," cold sweat flowed down Zhao Gou's cheeks.

Qin Hui squinted at Lu Yihao, who had never been dealt with before, and then said, "Official, what Lu Xiang said also agrees, he should immediately seize all his military power, remove Lu Haowen, Zong Ze and others, and don't raise tigers anymore." ”

Wang Boyan also echoed, "The official family is a matter of the country's society, so we have to guard against it!" Don't ignore the country because of filial piety. ”

Zhao Gou was a little embarrassed, if he disobeyed his father, how would the world view him?

"What does Lu Qing think should be done?"

Lu Yihao thought for a while and said, "If the Jin people lead their troops south, who can stop them?" What's more, Kang Duzhi just guessed that she might be Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the minister thought that the Queen Mother could move to Kaifeng and see her! The Queen Mother can always be sure if she is a princess, right? ”

"What if it's a princess?"

Lu Haowen continued to answer, "You can ask the Emperor Taishang and the first emperor to move to Lin'an to settle down, and all the clans of the Great Song Dynasty will accompany you!" Including the letter king Zhao Zhen. In this way, Her Royal Highness the Princess has no one to support. ”

"What if she proclaims herself emperor?"

"The official family can express their stance and support her to expand the scale of her private army and collect the Hebei military horses, but on the other hand, they can set up a deputy envoy for economic strategy, and order Du Zhizengxuan and General Wang Yuan to be the deputy envoy of economic strategy, thinking that it will be contained. At the same time, the imperial court could send 100,000 forbidden troops to garrison Kaifeng, ostensibly to assist her in resisting the Jin people, but in fact, to prevent her from suddenly rising into trouble and prepare early. ”

Zhao Gou nodded, Lu Yihao is doing this method slowly, and it is the best policy to slowly figure it out.

But Qin Hui doesn't do it!

"Official, if you don't take away her military power, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Jin State to explain, although she won a battle, but if the Jin Kingdom goes south with all its might, how can she resist? The minister thought that he should seize his military power and summon him to Lin'an as well. If it is a princess, then as the official said, give preferential treatment, if it is not a princess, immediately take it down and behead it to prevent future troubles. ”

After listening to Qin Hui's words, Zhao Gou had a headache again, this is really a constant internal and external trouble! Why do Jin people and outsiders always stare at their own throne?

Lu Yihao snorted coldly, "Took away his military power, you go to war with the Jin people?" ”

Qin Hui didn't show weakness either, "If you anger the Jin people, can you afford to take it alone?" ”

"The old man would rather shroud the body in horse leather than show weakness to the golden man! The official family must not take away her military power. ”
