Seeing Prince Zhao Huan crawling into the Chongzheng Hall crying and rolling, most people, including Zhao Ji, were stunned.
Alas! Isn't this His Highness the Crown Prince? It's still alive! what 's wrong? Could it be that "Li Shimin" forgot to kill "Li Jiancheng" at Xuanwu Gate?
Thinking of this, everyone looked at King Yun Zhao Kai again and found that Zhao Kai was frowning and looking at Zhao Huan. It turns out that Zhao Kai, Li Shimin of the Song Dynasty, didn't have a good kung fu. He only learned how to force his father, but he didn't know how to kill his brother!
Zhao Kai could only sigh when he saw Zhao Huan crying. Although he didn't think about killing Zhao Huan, he didn't intend to let him continue to dance. Instead, he wanted to force Zhao Ji to issue an edict to depose the prince, and then send Zhao Huan away, either to Sichuan or Guangdong. In short, don't stay with Zhao Ji, lest this cowardly official will leave the mess to Zhao Huan and run away after he goes north to fight against the Jin Dynasty.
But because of the sequelae of time travel, his head was dizzy. Moreover, he really had no experience in sending troops to force the palace. He actually forgot to send troops to blockade the prince's residence, and he also did not send his confidants to blockade the six gates of the imperial city.
Of course, the Six Gates of the Imperial City are under the control of the Imperial City Division, which is in charge of Zhao Kai, but most of the Kaifeng office workers in the Imperial City Division are "clocking in". The only people who can really do something big with Zhao Kai are Huang Wuji's hundreds of people under the fifth command. They are all selected from the Western Army. Most of them have been on the battlefield and are willing to risk their lives to fight for wealth. Moreover, most of their family members are not in Kaifeng. Even if they mess up, they can still run away... If Zhao Kai sends dozens of personal officers under the command of the fifth personal subordinate to guard the six gates of the imperial city, then the prince will not be able to enter at all now. Can't go to Chongzheng Hall. I can only stay at home and wait to be exiled!
Zhao Huan also saw Zhao Kai and was frightened after taking one look...it looked so fierce! Wearing a helmet and carrying a sword to the temple, you are going to kill someone!
Zhao Huan burst into tears when he thought that the sword might stab him!
But after crying, Zhao Huan's head was not dizzy. He knew that the most important thing at this time was to force his father, Zhao Ji, to continue to be an official!
As long as Zhao Ji is still an official, he still has hope of becoming a happy and wealthy man. If Zhao Kai becomes an official, even if he is not given a cup of Hedinghong to taste, he will still have to be exiled to a poor place far away...
So he cried and shouted: "Father, your hometown is only forty-four years old. It is the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period. How can you abdicate the throne? Moreover, my son is young and weak, timid and weak. Without literary talent or military strategy, how could he dare to become an official when the country was in crisis? If my son became an official, the Song Dynasty would be destroyed!
If my father must meditate internally, he should give it to the third brother. The third brother is far superior to his son in culture, Tao, and military skills, and he will definitely be able to retreat from the enemy and protect the country..."
Zhao Ji nodded and looked at his third son again, "Sanlang, look, your eldest brother wants you to be an official, why don't you just become one..."
"Father! My son cannot be an official!" Zhao Kai was unwilling to accept this mess. He quickly shook his head and said, "Now that the country is in crisis, fighting against the Jin Dynasty is the top priority for us, father, son and brothers. So please don't do it, Father." Then consider inner Zen and leave, otherwise the morale of the army and the people will be gone, and the Song Dynasty will be destroyed!"
After hearing what he said, the ministers who were close to Zhao Huan in the palace breathed a sigh of relief. Zhao Kai even said "father, son, brother", which means that he will not kill Zhao Huan for the time being, nor will he punish Zhao Huan for "rebellion".
If Zhao Huan had not committed any serious crimes, then officials who were close to Zhao Huan would not have to worry about being implicated. You can easily watch how the father and son of the Zhao family play kicking the throne like Cuju. Such excitement is not common!
Moreover, it seems that Zhao Ji, an irresponsible official, has not run away. If he does not run away... the Song Dynasty will not be destroyed for a while, and the prosperity and wealth of these people will be guaranteed!
Zhao Kai also saw this group of high-ranking officials of the Song Dynasty who were watching the fun, and said loudly: "All the ministers are the pillars of the country and the buttocks of my father. If you don't say anything now, do you have to wait until the gold thieves break into Tokyo City?"
After being reminded by Zhao Kai, the group of ministers who were watching the show realized that they were led by Li Bangyan and Cai You, the two leaders of the East and West Prefectures. They quickly knelt down in front of Zhao Ji and shouted together: "Your Majesty. I sincerely request the officials to put the foundation of our ancestors and the people of the world first, and personally lead the royal army to defend Tokyo to protect the country of Song Dynasty and the people of the world!"
...
In the Chongzheng Hall, the court meeting is still going on.
Although the matter of Zhao Ji's inner Zen running away was over, the problem of resisting the Jin Dynasty immediately posed in front of Zhao Kai. He now has to strike while the iron is hot and finalize the overall policy of fighting against gold. At the same time, he also had to take down the position of marshal of the troops on the east and west routes of Hebei. He also had to gain the power and control to establish government offices, establish his own staff, control the armies of the east and west routes of Hebei, prefectures and counties, and control the armies of the east and west routes of Hebei. Hebei transfer envoy and other powers...that is, taking all the nominal military, political and financial power in Hebei into their hands!
As for how much power and army Zhao Kai can actually capture, it depends on his ability and luck.
In addition, Zhao Kai had to build a grassroots team for Zhao Ji to guard Tokyo City, and then they would formulate a strategy to defend the city as soon as possible. Now Jin Bing's East Route Army is approaching Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo at an extremely fast speed. It is estimated that in the first month of next year, a large number of Jin Bing will rush out of Kaifeng Prefecture through the frozen Yellow River!
If the Kaifeng Mansion was not prepared before the Jin soldiers arrived, then even if Zhao Ji, the official, did not run away, the war situation would not be that optimistic.
"Father," Zhao Kai said to Zhao Ji, who was a little lost, "the golden thieves on the East Road are moving south very fast. They may not stop for hundreds of miles in a day. I estimate that in the first month of next year, the golden thieves will be able to reach outside Tokyo." ”
"What? The first month of next year!" Zhao Ji became even more frightened upon hearing this, "Today is already the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month..."
"Yes," Zhao Kai said, "So without further delay, let's make a plan to fight against the Jin Dynasty today!"
"Big plan?" Zhao Ji asked, "Sanlang has any clever plan to defeat the enemy, tell me quickly!"
"Father," Zhao Kai said, "how can I have any clever ideas? I just suggested that my father make up his mind today and issue an edict to establish the Tokyo Imperial Camp and the Hebei Marshal's Mansion to command the defense of Tokyo and surrounding areas respectively. and the anti-gold matters on the East and West Roads in Hebei Province.
In addition, today we must decide on the general policy of fighting against gold! The advice of your ministers is... guard the south and harass the north, and seek peace through war. "
"To seek peace? How to seek peace? Tell me quickly!"
When Zhao Ji heard the word "making peace", he immediately felt much better.
Zhao Kai actually didn't want peace at all. But he also knows how cowardly Zhao Ji is. If he doesn't give him any hope of betraying his country and begging for mercy, he might go north while he escapes!
"Father," Zhao Kai said, "My son's idea is to use war to plan peace... there is war first, and then there is peace! And my son's strategy is to guard Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo on the southern front and Some fortified cities in the surrounding areas were cleared and the fields were cleared. At the same time, the son-in-law went to Hebei in person to set up defenses and clear the fields on the only way the gold thieves could return, so as to cut off the enemy's return.
As long as we can defend Tokyo City on the southern front, we can block the golden thieves' retreat on the northern front. Then it will not be difficult to reach a new Chanyuan Alliance! Erchen felt that the gold thief went south to make money. If you want to capture our land, you should take your time in Hebei and not advance so quickly. "
These words were naturally meant to comfort Zhao Ji.
"Okay!" Zhao Ji nodded repeatedly, "The Chanyuan Alliance is good, we should quickly conclude a new one... Sanlang, after you go north, don't just focus on fighting, but also look for opportunities to contact the gold thieves. The world is uneasy , after all, it is the common people who are suffering. If you can spend some money to buy peace, it is also a good thing!"
Do you want to spend money to buy peace? Zhao Kaixin said: You idiot is daydreaming again!
However, Zhao Kai still promised: "I obey the order. I will definitely find a way to negotiate with the gold thief as soon as possible."
"Okay!" Zhao Ji said, "Then I will grant you the title of peace envoy and marshal of the troops and horses of Hebei... Peace comes first, troops and horses follow behind, do you understand?"
