Not to mention, this Zhao Ji is really capable of making quick wits, and he actually came up with a way to divert trouble to the north.
Although the 3.3 million treasures and an emperor concubine in Zhao Kai's hands may not be able to lure away all the Jin soldiers who are heading south, but they can lure away some, right? The number of Jin soldiers on the East Road is so small. If they go to Daming Mansion to ask Zhao Kai for 3.3 million in goods and Zhao Duofu, aren't there too few soldiers to come to Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo?
What if... Zhao Kai is really the Song version of Li Shimin? The Jin soldiers sent to Daming Mansion will be given a good beating, and the Jin soldiers sent to Kaifeng Mansion will probably be transferred to Daming Mansion to find a place.
Naturally, Tong Guan did not dare to disobey Zhao Ji's will, so he had to leave Gen Yue in a hurry, and then arranged for his confidants to report the news to Zhao Kai who was still on his way north; Dan Zhao Liangsi (who was stripped of his official position because he opposed the acceptance of Zhang Jue) went to Jinying as an envoy.
When Zhao Ji saw that Tong Guan had left, he said to Cai You, the leader of the Privy Council: "Cai Qing, you have always been quite close to King Yun Kai, right?"
When Cai You heard this question, he immediately knelt down to Zhao Ji and stammered: "Although I am somewhat close to His Royal Highness Prince Yun, that is all His Majesty's intention... Otherwise, how could I dare to make friends with the prince? "
It was a taboo in the Song Dynasty for ministers to befriend princes. In the Huizong Dynasty, where discipline was corrupt, ministers would befriend Prince Yun, but only to Prince Yun. No minister would dare to get close to other princes. There was only one reason why so many ministers dared to approach King Yun - Zhao Ji, an official, had sent word to the ministers below to get close to Zhao Kai.
"I don't mean to blame you," Zhao Ji waved his hand, "I just want to ask, based on your understanding of King Yun, will he ask for peace from the Jin people?"
"Yes..." Cai You nodded heavily, "But based on my understanding of King Yun, he will never dare to lead troops to break into Donghua Gate..."
After hearing this, Zhao Ji actually agreed quite a bit and nodded: "I also thought that he didn't dare to break through the Donghua Gate...but he did it anyway! It seems that like you, I don't really understand Sanlang!" He paused and then lowered his voice, "Cai Qing, I'm worried that King Yun is fierce and aggressive and won't make peace with the gold thief at all!"
Cai You nodded and said: "I, I also think this is possible!"
"But what should we do?" Zhao Ji looked at Cai You, "Cai Qing, you have to find a way for me!"
"This..." Cai You had no choice but to bite the bullet and think of a way. He really thought of one for him, "Your Majesty, my great-uncle Cai Mao is now the transfer envoy to Hebei, and he is a judge of great names." Mansion. If Your Majesty sends him a decree asking him to try to contact the Jin people and ask them to come to Daming Mansion for peace talks with King Yun, then King Yun will not be able to escape at all costs."
"This is a solution!" Zhao Ji was overjoyed when he heard this, "Will Cai Mao do it? Cai Mao seems to be familiar with King Yun, right?"
Cai You smiled bitterly and said: "How does Cai Mao know that King Yun has the ambition of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty? As long as His Majesty's edict can arrive earlier than King Yun, Cai Mao will definitely arrange it immediately! In addition, Liang Fangping, the envoy of the arrest and kill system, is also In the daimyo, your majesty can also give him an edict and ask him and Cai Mao to try to contact the Jin people on behalf of King Yun."
"Okay!" Zhao Ji gritted his teeth, "I will write a handwritten edict to Cai Mao and Liang Fangping right away..."
This is such a good father. He knew that his son could not bear to betray his country, so he rushed to help him!
...
At the same time, in the prince's residence, the prince Zhao Huan, who was "unable to afford a single illness," had just learned from his teacher Geng Nanzhong that King Yun Zhao Kai's army had left Chenqiaoyi.
When Prince Zhao Huan heard this, of course he became angry. Geng Nanzhong, who brought him the news, was even more happy.
"King Yun finally dared not use the power of the golden thief to usurp... It seems that His Highness has turned the corner, and your position as Crown Prince is secure again!"
"Really?" Zhao Huan still couldn't believe it. "If King Yun really has some clever plan to scare away the golden thief, can the lonely throne be preserved?"
"I can't coax him back..." Geng Nanzhong lowered his voice, "I, Li Gang, and Wu Min have already made arrangements to mobilize the gentry and civilians of Daming Mansion to disrupt the peace talks."
"Is it possible?" Zhao Huan was still hesitant.
"It can be done!" Geng Nanzhong said, "As long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recovers and stands up to fight against the Jin Dynasty, all the upright people in Hebei will be able to stand up and oppose King Yun's betrayal of the country!"
"Recover..." Zhao Huan coughed subconsciously, and then said to Geng Nanzhong, "Sir, Gu's illness is not cured yet. It seems that he will have to continue to recover for a few years."
"Your Highness!" Geng Nanzhong waved his hands repeatedly, "No! Now King Yun has gone far, and Li Gang, the camp commander defending Tokyo, supports His Highness. Most of the Imperial Guards and soldiers in Tokyo also denounced the main battle... .If His Highness can stand up and be the leader of the main battle, the officials and King Yun will no longer be able to do anything to His Highness. Maybe His Highness will still have a chance to take a further step!"
"What?" Zhao Huan was frightened by Geng Nanzhong's words, "Teacher, do you want me to be an unfilial son? Besides, the official family is still in Tokyo..."
"After the Donghua Gate Incident, the prestige of the official family in Tokyo has been lost by 70% to 80%!" Geng Nanzhong said, "If His Highness takes the opportunity to rise up and shout against the Jin, are you afraid of losing the hearts of the people? The hearts of the people belong to Your Highness. , what else can the official family do?"
"But King Yun is still in Hebei..." Zhao Huan whispered.
In fact, he is not afraid of Zhao Ji now, but King Yun is very fierce! What would you do if you knew he had usurped the throne and brought troops to kill him?
"Your Highness," Geng Nanzhong said, "this is the Song Dynasty after all, not the Tang Dynasty... What King Yun did was disliked by the scholar-bureaucrats all over the world. The Song Dynasty shared the same fate with the scholar-bureaucrats, as long as King Yun left Tokyo. Hebei, then his big business is gone! Your Highness doesn’t have to worry about him.”
Zhao Huan nodded, "He is indeed disliked by scholars!" But his brows immediately wrinkled again, "I'm afraid he will win the hearts of warriors!"
Yes, after all, the pen is not as good as the knife!
...
"Grand Master, it's too late to say anything now. Not to mention three million years old coins and an emperor concubine, even if you give ten million years old coins and ten emperor concubines, you can't stop the golden thief from going south. If you want to go to Chanyuan If we want to make an alliance, we have to kill Yin Shuke or Oriyan first, just like how we killed Xiao Taolin back then!"
The person who was opposing Zhao Ji's attempt to beg for mercy in Tongguan's county prince's palace was a short, fat man in his forties, wearing a dirty t-shirt, with an unshaven beard, holding a wine gourd in his hand, and his mouth smelled of alcohol.
This guy who looked very down and out was named Zhao Liangsi, and he was the instigator of the alliance with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty. His original name was Ma Zhi, and he was a descendant of the Ma family of Wulu Mountain, a wealthy medical family in Zhongjing Road, Liao State. Later, he defected to the Song Dynasty and offered a plan to destroy the Liao Dynasty. Zhao Ji, who was greatly pleased by Longyan, gave him the surname Zhao and changed his name to Liangsi.
However, although his plan to unite the Jin Dynasty and destroy the Liao Dynasty was good (the Liao Kingdom was destroyed, it cannot be said that the plan was not good), but it brought disaster to the Song Dynasty. Therefore, after the relationship between the Jin and Song Dynasties became increasingly tense, he deducted " The label of "pro-money" and "fear of money" has led to him losing his position, cutting five levels, and becoming a freeloader. After Tong Guan fled back to Kaifeng from Taiyuan, he relied on Tong Guan and lived a life of drunkenness and dreams.
After hearing what he said, this was probably a correct analysis. Tong Guan just smiled wryly and waved his hands: "Stop saying these useless words. If the officials ask you to go, just go... If you don't go, our family will also I can’t save you. If you go, you’ll live with a narrow chance of death, but if you don’t go, you’ll die with no chance of death!”
