Chapter 5 The Pearl of the Prairie (Ask for a Subscription and Guarantee Monthly Pass)
The reason why Lou Shidao stayed in Jin for so long was not only to coordinate the two countries' fake attack and counterattack against Shi Miyuan, but also to discuss with King Rong Wanyan Hongxi about the secret cooperation between Song and Jin.
This was originally Yang Kang's plan, the Song State and the Jin State arranged hundreds of thousands of troops along the Yangtze River in order to defend each other, if these armies could all be used to defend against Mongolia, the shape would be very different, if Yang Kang's identity as a Han person was not revealed, he held the imperial power of the two countries, and naturally he could act according to the plan, but at this time he could not control the Jin State, and King Rong would be worried that if the army was withdrawn, the Song army would be able to drive straight into the Kaifeng Imperial City.
At the end of the day, it's a matter of trust!
In this world, neither verbal promises nor written covenants on paper can guarantee that Yang Kang will not take the opportunity to destroy the Jin Kingdom, maybe he really didn't want to destroy the Jin Kingdom at this moment, but there is no guarantee that when his power and hope gradually swell, without this idea, people will change, and this is the terrible place.
The third prince only agreed to transfer part of the army to defend Hebei, this is already the limit of what he can do, he has to think about the survival of his country and ethnic group, and he can't put the future of Dajin Kingdom above the trust of one person, that is irresponsible to the whole country.
His Majesty the Emperor knew that this was the best result at the moment, and only hoped that Mongolia could give him a longer time to prepare, and Lou Shidao also brought back one thing, that is, the rebel army in Jin, with the weakening of Jin's rule, the rebel army in the country rose one after another, so that all parts of Jin fell into war, King Rong's strategy has always been to exterminate, but the rebel army is like a weed, cutting a stubble will grow a new stubble.
Lou Shidao's idea is to appease, of course, not the Jin court, but the Song court, to recruit the rebels in the Jin country, so that the Jin country can not only calm down and develop well, but also provide a strong army for the Song country, but the good and bad in the righteous army are mixed, there are righteous people who really serve the country and the people, and there are robbers and bandits who only think about glory and wealth, which requires a capable Song official to screen and control.
Emperor Xi à thought about it, this matter can not be handed over to Jiān ministers to do, it must be done by a capable minister who is dedicated to the country and has quite a means, Lou Shidao is undoubtedly the best choice, but the identity of the Guangming Left Envoy is more embarrassing, not suitable for showing up, Yang Kang's mind appeared a person, this person is the original Baoying County Commander, and now has been promoted to Huaidong Tidian Prison and Chuzhou Jingdong Road Zhongyi Soldiers and Horses Jia She.
Jia She, in the defense of Baoying a few years ago, was able to resist the army of King Rongyan Hongxi, which can be seen to be quite strategic, and now he controls Jianghuai affairs, just enough to receive the rebels from the Jin State, and selects these rebels in the Jianghuai area, eliminates the dross, and then transfers them to Sichuan to defend against Mongolia, so as to kill two birds with one stone. Jia Shi is in the light, Lou Shidao is in the dark, there should be no problem with the matter, this matter let the governor Xie Yili go to the chapter, I think the queen mother will not object.
His Majesty the Emperor returned to the palace, and Mu Nianci told him that he had a minister who asked to see him and was waiting in the study.
These ministers were quite helpless, they wanted to ask to see the saint, but the saint was in the harem Mu Zhaorong, the palace people used to spread the word, Mu Zhaorong was indeed with the emperor, but it was in bed, those palace people naturally did not dare to talk nonsense, but the ministers could guess some clues from the strange faces of the palace people, this kind of thing could not be urged, no one wanted to be disturbed at this time.
O misfortune of the country!
The ministers sighed in their hearts, but what is the way, they must also pin their hopes on the emperor Xià, and can only hope in their hearts that the Empress Dowager will delegate power earlier, so that the emperor can be personally in power, and with their assistance, they can be a little wiser, which is already their greatest expectation.
When the ministers were anxious to wait, His Majesty the Emperor was late, and the gods greeted the ministers tiredly, so they sat on the dragon chair without any joy, waiting for the advice of the ministers.
That was the alliance between the Song and the Mongols.
A fake fight between the Song State and the Jin State made the Mongols very annoyed, but they did not suspect the emperor's majesty, but thought that this was Shi Miyuan's trick, and in the subsequent Song State to bring down Shi Miyuan's public opinion, the Mongols also played a big role, now Shi Miyuan has stepped down, and the Mongols see hope again, although the Empress Dowager of the Song State is in power, and she is not a surrender faction, but she does not like to fight and kill, and only hopes to pass the rìzi in peace, that if you want to provoke the contradiction between the Song State and the Jin State, you still have to start from the Emperor of the Song State, and the alliance is only the first step。
"It's not that I don't want to attack the Jin Kingdom, and I'm ashamed of Jingkang, but what if I am defeated?" the emperor said worriedly.
"Your Majesty, this is the benefit of an alliance with Mongolia, when the two countries work together to cut gold, why worry about the big thing?" said the Minister of the Main War Faction, Hong Shikui.
"Hong Qing, when the first emperor was in power, he also formed an alliance with the Mongols, but what was the result? The Mongols withdrew their troops without authorization, causing humiliation to the country, and the first emperor was depressed and unhappy. His Majesty the Emperor shook his head and said.
"Your Majesty, that was because Mongolia was suddenly invaded by a foreign enemy...... "Hong Zhikui defended.
"Hong Qing, this matter should not be mentioned again. His Majesty the Emperor stopped, "I don't dare to be gullible unless I am assured." ”
"What kind of guarantee does Your Majesty want?" asked Hong Shikui.
"I heard that the princess of Mongolia Huazheng is very beautiful, if she can marry me, wouldn't it be the best guarantee for the Song and Mongolia to marry Qin and Jin?" said the emperor with a sèyù face.
The ministers of the main battle faction below looked at each other, although the emperor's majesty's mention was to satisfy his own hopes, but it was also a way, so that at least there was a guarantee on the surface, even if he rì Mongolia destroyed the Jin State, as long as he had this level of in-law relationship with the Song State, he could always maintain a superficial peace, the key was to see if the Mongols were willing.
Looking at the departing figures of the ministers, the emperor did not take this matter to heart, he pulled Hua Zheng out just as an excuse, in order to block the mouth of the Mongols, he has no intention of forming an alliance with the Mongols for the time being, and with Hua Zheng's status in Mongolia, it is impossible for Tuo Lei's concern for Hua Zheng to marry his sister to the Song State, let alone marry a mediocre emperor, let those ministers of the main war faction negotiate with the Mongols.
His Majesty the Emperor thought proudly, turned around and walked into the harem, he and Mu Zhaoyi's affairs were not finished yet. (To be continued.) )
