Chapter 281: The Three Emperors

…

"Emperor ?!!!"

"Jiang Yan wants to be the emperor?!!!"

Cai You never expected that Jiang Hongfei's ambition would be so big!!

You must know that Tian Hu and Wang Qing are only called the King of Jin and the King of Chu, and Fang La has only called himself the Holy Father so far, and Jiang Hongfei actually wants to be the emperor!!

Cai You didn't know the person "Liang Jingru", otherwise he would definitely say: "It was Liang Jingru who gave your brother the courage?!!! ”

However, Cai You calmed down and thought about it, although Jiang Hongfei was a little arrogant about being the emperor, it was not unreasonable.

You must know that Liu Xiuke, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, became the emperor after winning Hebei.

Although Jiang Hongfei has not yet captured the complete Hebei, let alone Yan Land, Jiang Hongfei has Shandong.

Calculating the area of territory he owns, Jiang Hongfei is no smaller now than when Liu Xiu was emperor.

If such a Jiang Hongfei really ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, it is also reasonable.

Therefore, Chai Jin's words may not be a joke.

And once Jiang Hongfei is proclaimed emperor, then no matter how difficult the situation is, the Zhao and Song dynasties will definitely have to continue to fight with Shuibo Liangshan.

Otherwise, Tian Hu, Wang Qing, and Fang La will all follow to claim the emperor, in that case, the Zhao and Song dynasties will become five countries, and the nature of the war will change.

Thinking about this, even a wine bag and rice bag like Cai You felt that Jiang Hongfei must not be allowed to become the emperor, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

With such an understanding, Cai Yu hurriedly said: "The head of the firewood does not want to play, there are no two days, there are no two monarchs in the country, if the owner of the village vainly tries to be the emperor, it is bound to become the main enemy of my Great Song Dynasty, you must know that my Great Song Dynasty 200 years, if you go all out to be the enemy of Guizhai, how can Guizhai resist the heavenly soldiers?" ”

Chai Jin said leisurely: "Now that your family is embattled, where are the heavenly soldiers who sent me to Liangshan?" ”

"This ......"

Cai You was immediately speechless by Chai Jin.

At this moment, Le He walked over with a smile on his face and said: "My Great Song Dynasty can't mobilize more troops in a short period of time, but my Great Song Dynasty can do it, whoever is the emperor first will go all out to exterminate whom, don't you want to be this bird?" ”

Seeing that Lehe was coming, Cai You was like seeing a savior, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Chai Jin looked at Le He and said with a cold face: "Calling the emperor has the bad side you said, but there is also a good side, Mr. Yin is extremely intelligent, how can you not know?" ”

Throughout the ages, some power lords, when they conquered the world, after they had a certain strength, they would call themselves kings and emperors.

This is not only because of the infinite scenery of being called the king, but also because there are great benefits to being called the emperor.

You must know that being called the king and the emperor can quickly expand your influence and accumulate popularity.

This is mainly because, when troubled times appear, people will call for the arrival of the true dragon emperor - this true dragon emperor is the savior that people crave.

Therefore, as long as you hear that there is an emperor in any place, people may think that this is a true dragon emperor.

If the person who is the emperor can achieve relatively great success in military affairs, and can also do some behaviors such as killing the rich and helping the poor, opening warehouses and giving grain, most of them can be sought after by the people, so that the people can actively devote themselves to the command of the person who is called the king and the emperor.

In short, being called king and emperor is conducive to accumulating popularity, expanding one's influence, and increasing one's strength.

Therefore, if Jiang Hongfei is the emperor, there are risks and opportunities.

After a pause, Chai Jin said again: "The Zhao family is cowardly, and pays the Khitan and the party money for the year, so that the national prestige is lost, the society is degenerate, and the excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes are as many as the carp crossing the river. This has come to this, and the battle must be made. In my opinion, there is no need for peace talks between you and me, you go back, tell Zhao Ji, and teach him to let the horse come. ”

When he heard that Chai Jin was so tough, he even directly labeled the Zhao family as cowardly and extravagant, making the people's life unbearable, and bluntly said that the Zhao family was not worthy of enjoying the country.

That's too much.

- If these words came out of Jiang Hongfei's mouth, they could be regarded as Jiang Hongfei preparing to hang the people and declare war on the Zhao and Song Dynasty.

Cai You was shocked and hurriedly said: "The matter between you and me must be discussed, why are you here?" ”

Chai Jin said very strongly: "Your family fought my family, was defeated, was defeated by my family, now there are only some remnants of the defeated will stick to Xingqing Mansion, just linger, now my family has been a soldier, and in the near future, Xingqing Mansion will be defeated, and it will be smashed into Bianliang City, Tokyo, what is there to discuss?" ”

Hearing Chai Jin say this, Cai You immediately panicked and didn't know how to deal with it.

Fortunately, there is also Lehe.

After listening to Lehe, he also said strongly: "The head of the chai gives my family a word, there is still room for negotiation in this matter, if there is, my family will try his best to promote the strike of my two families, if not, my family will return to Beijing to go to Que, recruit millions of troops with the strength of the country, and fight again with your family." ”

Le He was so tough that Cai You couldn't help but sweat, and he thought: "Will Yin Wenhe force Chai Jin to be anxious?" ”

I don't want to, listening to Lehe say this, Chai Jin hesitated!

Seeing this, Le He said: "You and I are originally the same root, if we fight, we will make the foreign clan the fisherman, just like when I messed up my China, if we can discuss, why should you and I do the things that are happy for the relatives and enemies, but this is the truth?" ”

Chai Jin said: "The soldiers have risen, there is no need to discuss, my family will raise troops to attack Xingqing Mansion in the near future, and you and I can see each other." ”

Le He said: "The murder weapon of the soldier is also disgusted by heaven." Your family has swallowed up many territories of my court, and you should be content. My dynasty is a big country, the world is vast, the military and the people are unlimited, if the court is enlightened, a slight change, it will not be your family's enemy, if you don't stop the war at this time, when will you fight in the future? ”

Chai Jin said: "The master of my village is a fairy-like person, and he has already calculated that your family has no soldiers to send, but he doesn't want to cook beans and burn the fire, and teach foreign ......."

Speaking of this, Chai Jin quickly closed his mouth.

Le He seized this opportunity and counterattacked: "It turns out that the owner of the village is also afraid of the chaos in the Central Plains, and he will become a national sinner if he reappears in the chaos of China. ”

Chai Jin was silent.

Lehe continued to increase the offensive: "The owner of the village does not even want to be called the king, let alone the emperor, most of the villains are obstructed from it, and the loyalty of the owner of the village is disturbed." ”

Chai Jin said unhappily: "Who is Mr. Yin slandering?" ”

Le He said: "Whoever sabotages the peace talks between you and me, I am talking about whom." ”

Seeing that Lehe dared to say it, Cai You was afraid of Lehe and bad things, so he hurriedly interjected: "What conditions does Guizhai have, but it doesn't hurt to say it, you don't have to ask for a price and pay back on the spot." ”

Chai Jin listened to the words and was silent for a while before he said: "Shandong, you and I are bounded by the current situation, Hebei is bounded by the big river, your family compensates my family for the war compensation of 50 million yuan, and then marries three emperors to come over to my family as concubines, and access the Zhao Song Dynasty Temple Sheji, but it can serve the country." ”

Le He said: "It seems that the owner of your village listens to the rebellious words, but he looks down on this dynasty, but I am afraid that he will bring disaster to himself!" ”

Chai Jin said: "The conditions have been opened, you two go back and report to Zhao Ji to know, it's useless to say more." ”

Cai You felt that looking at Chai Jin's attitude, there was no point in talking about it any longer, the key was that Jiang Hongfei named Chai Jin to talk to him, he couldn't figure out what Jiang Hongfei thought?

So Cai You returned to his residence with Lehe.

Le He helped Cai You analyze the current situation, saying that Jiang Hongfei has a group of villains like Chai Jin around him, and they can't wait for Shuibo Liangshan to continue to fight with the Song army, so that they can follow the promotion and make a fortune.

Cai You thought so, and decided to go back to the capital first and let the court take the idea, after all, the matter was big, and he really didn't dare to be the master.

Hearing that Cai You was going back to Bianliang City, Tokyo, Shuibo Liangshan arranged boats for him and sent him all the way down the Wuzhang River to the territory of the Zhao and Song Dynasty.

In just three days, Cai You returned to the capital.

However, Cai You followed Lehe's advice and did not come back with much fanfare.

This is mainly because Cai You's mission this time was not completed well, and it is not appropriate to come back with great fanfare.

In addition, Cai You had to persuade Wang Hao, Zheng Juzhong and others to join him in persuading Zhao Ji to agree to negotiate peace with Jiang Hongfei, even if Jiang Hongfei's peace conditions were very harsh, lest Zhao Ji be trapped in danger of the Zhao Song Dynasty because he was irrational.

After entering the city, Cai You didn't even return home, so he listened to Lehe and went straight to Liang Shicheng's house to ask to see Liang Shicheng.

As soon as Liang Shicheng heard Cai You's request to see him, he realized that something must have happened, otherwise it would be impossible for Cai You not to see Zhao Ji first, but to see him first.

Liang Shicheng immediately sent someone to invite Cai You in.

After a while, Cai You was taken to Liang Shicheng's living room.

Today's Liang Shicheng is so powerful that even Cai You, who is also powerful and deeply favored by Zhao Ji, has to slap him.

After seeing Liang Shicheng, Cai You immediately lowered his posture and said, "Taifu, something is wrong." ”

Liang Shicheng drank tea and said, "If something big happens, Shao Bao can go to the door of the miscellaneous family as soon as he comes back?" ”

Cai You complimented: "Taifu is discerning. Then he couldn't wait to say: "Then Jiang Yan asked for Shandong and Hebei, not to mention, but also asked for 50 million Lingqian money, plus three emperors, if you don't give it, you will come to the capital!" ”

Liang Shicheng frowned: "Jiang Yan is so arrogant? ”

Cai You smiled bitterly: "What's more, he still wants to ascend the throne and be the emperor!" ”

Hearing Cai You say that Jiang Hongfei wanted to ascend the throne and become emperor, even Liang Shicheng was not calm, he frowned and said: "Jiang Yan is so bold?!" ”

Cai You analyzed (in fact, Lehe helped Cai You analyze): "It's hard to say whether Jiang Yan has this intention, but among the leaders below him, there must be no shortage of such people, you must know that the tide rises and the boat rises, once Jiang Yan ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, they will all be the same, can An not save Jiang Yan to do this great rebellious thing?" ”

Liang Shicheng felt reasonable.

Cai You also said: "If Jiang Yan is the emperor, Fang La, Tian Hu, and Wang Qing will follow, and when I go to the ground, my Great Song Dynasty will be torn apart, and there will be eggs under the nest?" ”

Not to mention the change of dynasty, once the son of heaven is also a courtier.

If Liang Shanjun really hits Bianliang City, Tokyo, Liang Shicheng will be the end of this hidden appearance, and at that time, not to mention glory and wealth, it will be good to have a life.

Don't talk about the righteousness of the country or anything, even if it is for himself, Liang Shicheng can't let Liang Shanjun fight over.

After thinking about it, Liang Shicheng took the initiative to send someone to invite Wang Hao.

Liang Shicheng's home and Wang Hao's home are next to each other, and there is even a small door between the two families to facilitate Liang Shicheng and Wang Hao to exchange news.

But it is taboo for eunuchs to associate with ministers, and Liang Shicheng and Wang Hao certainly have to be careful.

So Wang Hao came from the main gate this time.

After Wang Hao came, Liang Shicheng signaled Cai You to tell Wang Hao what he had seen and heard about his trip to Shuibo Liangshan this time.

Cai You listened to the words and took the trouble to tell Wang Hao what he had seen, heard and felt during his trip to Shuibo Liangshan this time.

Wang Hao's face was full of shock when he heard this, he never expected that Shuibo Liangshan was already so powerful, and his attitude towards the Zhao Song Dynasty was still so tough, and the Zhao Song Dynasty was now on the verge of extinction? !

After listening patiently, Wang Hao asked, "Captain Gao can't stop the Liangshan thieves?" ”

Cai You was polite to Liang Shicheng, that was because Liang Shicheng was Zhao Ji's absolute confidant, and he had the power to tamper with the holy decree, the key is that he could find out Zhao Ji's pulse, and sometimes mentioning Cai You could make Cai You take a lot of detours.

Wang Huang?

I'm sorry, Cai You is not afraid of him at all, on the contrary, Cai You is still Wang Hao's main political enemy.

Let's put it this way, Cai You's ability is not good, but his ambition is big, and he has been thinking about the position of prime minister under Wang Huang's ass.

Cai You often thinks: "Wang Hao can be the prime minister, why can't I Cai You?" ”

Therefore, to Wang Huang, Cai You was not so polite when he spoke, he said angrily: "If Gao Yu can stop it, I will come to see you?" ”

Wang Hao believed that Cai You was telling the truth, and Cai You would definitely not seek cooperation from him, a political enemy, if there was any other way.

After being confirmed by Cai You's own mouth, Wang Hao immediately felt the pressure!

β€”β€”The king of the dead country is not happy, and the prime minister of the dead country is even more sad, because in the eyes of the world, the emperor made a mistake, and it can be said that he was mistaken by the minister, and the prime minister has no room for full responsibility, after all, the prime minister is the nominal head of the country, and no matter what goes wrong with the country, the prime minister is to blame.

After being silent for a while, Wang Hao asked Cai You, "What do you want to do?" ”

Cai You said bluntly: "Two ways, either teach Tong Guan to give up Fang La first, and lead the army back to exterminate Jiang Yan with Gao Yu; Either negotiate peace with Jiang Yan, and if necessary, make some concessions to Jiang Yan in exchange for time. ”

- This is what Lehe analyzed for Cai You.

It is absolutely impossible to give up the southeast, the economic and food lifeblood of the Zhao and Song dynasties.

Once the Zhao Song Dynasty dared to take this road, the Zhao Song Dynasty would undoubtedly die.

In contrast, Shandong and Hebei are easy to give up.

In this way, it is nothing more than from the Northern Song Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Zhao and Song dynasties will not perish.

This account can be understood by anyone who knows strategy.

Therefore, Le He seemed to have given Cai You two ideas, but in fact there was only one idea, that is, to let Cai You mediate the Zhao and Song dynasties to accept the conditions proposed by Shuibo Liangshan.

Wang Hao is the prime minister of the Zhao and Song Dynasty, how can he not understand, Cai You's proposition is: No, let's agree to Jiang Hongfei's conditions first, as long as it is delayed until Tong Guan exterminates Fang La, we can settle the account with Jiang Hongfei.

Agreeing to cut the land and send the princess to pay compensation made Wang Huang, the prime minister, under great pressure, after all, this was what happened when he was in charge of the Zhao and Song dynasties, and it was not good for him to say it.

Wang Hao couldn't help but hesitate a little because of this: "Even if you cede Shandong and Hebei, he even asks for 50 million yuan in war reparations, teach me where to get so much spiritual money for him?" Also, when he opened his mouth, he asked for three emperors, how to teach me how to talk to the officials? ”

Cai You heard that Wang Hao did not hide the conditions he had discussed.

This made Cai You very angry, and he thought to himself: "I risked my life to negotiate such conditions, you didn't do anything, you are still chirping here, okay, then you can talk about it yourself!" ”

Thinking of this, Cai You said to Wang Hao: "Cai You's ability is insufficient, otherwise Wang Xianggong will send someone else to talk again, how about it?" ”

Wang Hao thought to himself: "I'll talk about it, I want to see how tough this Jiang Yan is?!" ”

So, Wang Hao went to ask Zhao Ji for instructions, and sent two more people to Shuibo Liangshan.

As a result, what made Wang Hao dumbfounded and furious was that the people he sent were directly cut off by Li Kui with an axe because of "disrespectful words......
