If you are trying to imitate Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty...this is admitting rebellion! what should I do?
The atmosphere in Chongzheng Hall suddenly became tense and breathless. All the courtiers looked at Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji, on the other hand, stared at Wu Min who was holding the imperial edict of passing the throne, as if he was saying: Hurry and get the imperial edict, let's correct it, cross out the "Prince" in "Passed to the Crown Prince", and change it to "Prince Yun". ”, and then just make another copy. In any case, it would be the same if he abdicated and ran away, giving way to Zhao Huan or Zhao Kai. Moreover, Zhao Kai, who wants to be Li Shimin, seems to be more sophisticated and should not be afraid of Jin Bing.
Wu Min, on the other hand, clutched the edict tightly and refused to hand it over no matter what...
When the situation was awkward, someone suddenly coughed and said: "In the past, when Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was the king of Qin, he helped the country to unite all four sides. His achievements were unparalleled and rare in history! I don't know how your Majesty wants to imitate Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. ?”
This is accusing Zhao Kai of not having Li Shimin's merits but wanting to do what Xuanwu Sect did!
Everyone in the hall followed the voice and found that the person asking the question was a handsome man in his thirties with three long beards on his chin. It was Zuo Si Jian Qin Hui!
Zhao Kai also recognized Qin Hui, the traitorous minister, and he immediately became filled with anger. Okay, so it turns out that you are the traitor Qin Hui who betrayed the country and sought glory, killed Yue Fei and Yue Wumu, and caused the Song Dynasty to fail to conquer the Central Plains with its Northern Expedition!
Qin Hui was glared at by Zhao Kai, and he felt regretful and afraid at the same time... He shouldn't talk too much! I don’t want to be Wei Zheng, and I can’t be Wei Zheng. He is a bandit from Wagang Village, and I am a good scholar. Why should I provoke this crazy King Yun Zhao Kai?
Qin Hui was scared, and when Zhao Kai was thinking about whether to kill this scourge with one blow, someone else jumped out.
"Your Majesty, the gold thieves have now passed Zhending Mansion and are heading towards Tokyo, traveling hundreds of miles a day. Your Majesty, if you want to imitate Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, do you have any good strategies to defeat the enemy?"
Zhao Kai finally moved his murderous eyes away from Qin Hui and turned to that person. I saw that the man was in his forties, slightly fat, with sharp eyes. He was holding a wat board in both hands. He looked very magnanimous. When he opened his mouth, his voice was loud and majestic.
Seeing him, the word "Li Gang" came to Zhao Kai's mind!
It turned out that this person was Li Gang, who was recalled to Tokyo as Taichang Shaoqing in July. In this wave of "persuading Zhao Ji to withdraw", he and Wu Min were both at the forefront. Wu Min was the first to propose inner Zen, while Li Gang pricked his blood and sparsely after Zhao Ji's repentance, saying, "Today the enemy is attacking, our safety depends on our breathing." Only by "passing on the crown prince's title can we recruit the world's heroes." . It was under his strong persuasion that Zhao Ji reluctantly agreed to issue the imperial edict of passing the throne.
Unexpectedly, King Yun Zhao Kai went crazy again for no apparent reason. He even made a scene and led his troops into the palace, saying that he would imitate Li Shimin!
This is really outrageous and absurd to the extreme, and it’s also ridiculous to the extreme.
If such a madman cannot be punished, he will be crowned the emperor instead. How would the heroes of that day treat the imperial court? What do you think of the Huanghuang Song Dynasty? Will anyone respond to the call and raise troops to serve the king?
Without the help of heroes from all over the world, how could we defeat the golden thief's army of 100,000 with the few exhausted troops the court had at hand?
So Li Gang now throws this problem to Zhao Kai, who wants to be Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and see what he can do to deal with it?
Zhao Kai smiled confidently, "What's the difficulty in defeating the golden thief?" The year and a half that Zhao Kai spent in high school was not wasted. Instead, he used his spare time to master the four legendary art of war - the Glorious Three Kingdoms series, Nobunaga's Ambition series, Total War series, and Mount and Blade!
Moreover, in Zhao Kai's mind at this time, there were all the contents of the "Seven Books of Martial Arts", as well as the eight sets of formation diagrams created by Song Dynasty's great formation masters such as Song Taizong, Song Zhenzong, Song Renzong, etc.!
Relying on the Four Great Art of War, the Seven Martial Arts Books, and the Eight Great Formations, are you still afraid that you won't be able to defeat the Jinren?
If that's not enough, he has also taken a serious history class and knows about "On Protracted War" and so on!
Thinking of this, Zhao Kai laughed loudly and said: "Although the golden thieves came fiercely, they did not break Tokyo and take away half of our strength in the Northern Kingdom of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, it is not difficult for us to repel the golden thieves and preserve the territory before Xuanhe's Northern Expedition. of."
What he meant was that the territory of Yanshan Prefecture (part of the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun) was temporarily lost...but the inherent territory of the Song Dynasty could still be preserved.
"Oh," Li Gang looked at Zhao Kai with burning eyes, "I wonder how your Majesty plans to repel the golden thief?"
Zhao Kai sorted out his thoughts and said eloquently: "The gold thieves came in two groups this time. The west group attacked Taiyuan City. They did not penetrate deeply and failed to break through Taiyuan. There is no need to consider it for the time being. The east group gold thieves They avoided all the fortified cities in Hebei Province without attacking, and drove southward, heading straight for Tokyo. Although the momentum was great, it had no foundation, and it was just a lone force that penetrated deeply.
We just need to keep the walls clear in Tokyo and hold on firmly. While collecting soldiers and horses from all over Hebei, just use them to cut off the gold thief's return.
If the east-route thieves cannot break through Tokyo and the back route is cut off by the Hebei armies, there will be a risk of the entire army being annihilated. By then...are you still afraid that there won't be a new Chanyuan Alliance? "
"Cut off the gold thief's return journey?" Li Gang snorted, "I'm afraid it won't be easy, right? Hebei is a flat plain with no danger to defend. How to cut off the gold thief's cavalry?"
"What's so difficult about this?" Zhao Kai had already thought about it on the way here, and he actually thought of a way. "The gold thieves' army of a hundred thousand came thousands of miles away, and there was no rear to transport food for their use. Supplies depend entirely on looting along the way. As long as we clear the country west of the Yellow River in Hebei and arm the volunteers, the gold thieves will not be able to easily obtain supplies of food and grass, and will not be able to divide their troops to occupy the city, which is equivalent to cutting off their return route."
It turns out that the Yellow River flowed into the Haihe River from the north at this time, dividing Hebei into east and west parts. There were many rivers on the east bank of the Yellow River. Once the rivers thawed, it would be difficult for the Jin soldiers, mainly cavalry, to pass. So this time the Jin soldiers went south along the west bank of the Yellow River. As long as the people along this road are fully mobilized, the Jin soldiers will have no choice but to withdraw from the Central Plains!
Zhao Kai talked eloquently: "Once all the state capitals on the west bank of the Yellow River are fortified and cleared, it will be difficult for the Jin soldiers to attack the grass valley. Without the grass valley, how can a hundred thousand troops return to their hometowns hungry? What if we can arm all the people and righteous people?" If you deal with the golden thief, you are sure to win!"
It seems to make sense!
Li Gang frowned slightly. Now, he had to admit that Zhao Kai, who thought he was Li Shimin of the Song Dynasty, was quite capable.
"Sanlang, can you hold Tokyo?" Zhao Ji interrupted and asked at this time, with an expectant expression on his face.
"Yes!" Zhao Kai nodded, "Tokyo City has strong walls and no less than 300,000 strong men. Moreover, the arsenal has sufficient weapons, armor, arrowheads, and gunpowder, as well as enough food and grass to last for more than half a year. It is not difficult to hold on. "
"Great!" Zhao Ji was overjoyed when he heard this. He smiled and waved to Wu Min, "Wu Qing, quickly bring the edict of succession. I want to correct it."
Wu Min just shook his head and immediately hid the edict in his arms without giving it to anyone.
Seeing him like this, Zhao Ji was thinking about whether to ask Zhongshu Sheren to write another one when Zhao Kai spoke again: "But I can't stay in Tokyo to defend the city!"
"Why is this?" Zhao Ji asked hurriedly.
"Because I want to go north to fight against the Jin!" Zhao Kai said seriously, "It is easy to defend Tokyo, but difficult to fight in Hebei. If I want to imitate Li Shimin, I should not be afraid of hardships, march forward against the enemy, go to Hebei in person, recruit strong men, and deal with the thieves !
Therefore, the emperor’s city of Tokyo, please father and mother, firmly defend it with the utmost determination! "
Zhao Ji became anxious and looked at his ferocious son Zhao Kai, "What? You, you want to guard Tokyo City for your father?"
"Exactly!" Zhao Kai glanced coldly around the hall and said loudly, "When the barbarians are approaching the capital, is there any reason to persuade the emperor to abandon his throne and run away?
Will the generals and people in Kaifeng City see it this way? The majestic Nine-Five Supreme Being was so frightened by a gold thief hundreds of miles away that he even gave up his throne... Isn't this trying to increase the prestige of the gold thief and destroy the morale of our army and people in the Song Dynasty? Besides, my father is afraid of gold thieves, so my brother is not afraid of gold thieves? He is not very courageous! Since my father can meditate and leave, why can't my brother follow suit and give the Zen position to my nephew and then run away? At that time, what will the people of the world have to fight? Do you, your ministers, want to make everyone in the world wear their hair in left turbans? "
After hearing these words, the ministers in the palace were all speechless, and at the same time they all felt aggrieved - if the officials were not determined to escape, they would not have dared to propose the method of inner meditation!
Seeing Zhao Kai's resolute attitude, Zhao Ji was really anxious. He pointed at Wu Min and said: "Sanlang, the edict of passing the throne has been issued and is in Wu Min's arms. I am now the Supreme Emperor. I should not ask anything about it except for the sect." .”
"Father!" Zhao Kai roared angrily, interrupting Zhao Ji, "How can you be so confused! You passed the throne to your eldest brother, and he is the most respected person in the city of Tokyo... If he is determined to defend the city, He will definitely not let you escape, because once you leave, the people of Tokyo will not only be upset, but also the most capable Victory Army in the city will be taken away by you. What will he use to defend the city then? If he allows you to escape, then he will definitely It is to set a precedent for him to escape. When you all escape, will the Song Dynasty still have it?"
Zhao Ji lost his voice and said: "This, this isn't like this, is it?"
"Father!" Zhao Kai said, "Don't be confused anymore. You are the lord of the world and the supreme being. In this critical moment, there is no way to avoid it. There is no way to escape. The only way is to die as a king." , the emperor is determined to defend the country, and he will stay in Tokyo for three or four months... By then, I will definitely be able to clean up the armies in Hebei, cut off the gold thieves' return, and force the gold thieves to negotiate with me. As my father, the Spring and Autumn Period is in full swing. With such a body, are you afraid that you won’t be able to be the Supreme Being for twenty or thirty years in the future?”
When Zhao Ji heard this, he became anxious and said quickly: "Sanlang, you are right. Your eldest brother is weak-tempered and cannot hold a big position. Let's do this. I will pass the throne to you and you can be an official. I only want to go to Huai and Zhejiang." Is it okay to live a stable life for a few years?"
