Wu Qiqiu’s beloved daughter?
As soon as Zhao Kai said these words, the ministers in the Shixun Palace suddenly became energetic, and they all looked at Zhao Kai with bright eyes.
Now Zhao Kai has not reopened the Song Dynasty, so the original framework of "ruling the world with the scholar-bureaucrats" is still there. Even if the emperor went on personal expedition twice, he was still doing things according to the rule of "conquer from the center". Therefore, the officials who were discussing national affairs with him in the Shixun Palace were mainly civil servants, including the two prime ministers, the six ministries and nine ministers, the censors and officials, etc., and they all came to Daming Mansion in Beijing during the Song Dynasty. .
None of this group of people had participated in the Battle of the Daimyos, so they didn’t know much about Zhao Kai’s packing up of Wu Qiu’s daughter and Yelu Yanxi’s daughter. Of course, some news has leaked out. There are no civil servants who can discuss important national affairs with officials at the Shixun Palace. They have all heard that their officials bought Wu Qi's house. The story about Huang Hua’s daughter sleeping with Yelu Yanxi’s young widow daughter...
Of course this is inappropriate.
In fact, Yelu Yanxi's little widow and daughter slept in bed. After all, the Liao Kingdom is no longer there, and Yelu Yanxi has become a prisoner of the gold thief. Now she doesn't know whether she is dead or alive. Therefore, even if Yelu Yanxi's daughter gave birth to a prince, she would not be able to rely on the strength of her grandfather and uncle to compete for the throne. Moreover, Zhao Kai could in turn use Yelu Yanxi's daughter to win over some Khitan patriots who were unwilling to surrender to the golden thieves.
But the power behind Wu Qi’s daughter is too huge! Wu Qimai is the Emperor of Jin! Moreover, this old boy has more than a dozen sons, so he is not afraid of not having an heir. If this girl gives birth to a son for Zhao Kai in the future, she will most likely use the power of her mother's family to support her son in fighting for the throne, which will be troublesome...
However, Zhao Kai had never publicly acknowledged the capture of Wu's begging daughter before, so the ministers had nothing to say if they wanted to remonstrate. If Zhao Kai didn't admit this, wouldn't it be considered as slander to the emperor if he remonstrated?
Even if Zhao Kai admits it, what are the civil servants going to say?
Sleeping has become a fact!
And the person involved was in a happy mood! Are you civil servants in charge?
In addition, during this period, there were quite a few unlucky people (all officials in Hebei and Hedong who abandoned the city and fled) who were chased for their writing and custody of Zhu Yajun during this period!
"Your Majesty," Li Gang, who had just mentioned Zuopushe, the minister, and his servant, now heard Zhao Kai's words, had no choice but to go out and ask questions, "I heard that your Majesty captured the golden thief emperor Wu Qimaizhi when he recovered the ministers of the famous palace. The second daughter, Wanyan Yan, is also brought into the harem... I wonder if this is the case?"
"It's true!" Zhao Kai said with a smile, "At the same time, I also favored and favored Princess Yu Liyan of Shu, the daughter of Emperor Yelu Yanxi of Liao Kingdom. There are also dozens of other concubines of the leader of the golden thieves chief. The houses were also captured at the same time, and they were all distributed to the meritorious soldiers. They are all the daughters of the original Liao clan or the descendants of the Xiao family!"
At this point, his tone had become serious, "Many of them had married high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the Liao Kingdom before they were captured by the gold thieves. As a result, when the gold thieves came, their husbands were either killed in battle or captured. All my wives have fallen into the hands of the golden thieves! If I hadn’t been able to defeat the thieves in battle, and had some martial luck, all the lovely wives and concubines in your family would probably be..."
Of course, there is something in his words... First, he is telling the civil servants below to cherish their blessings. The happy life of not being a cuckold and being able to take corruption and bribes is all thanks to Zhao Daguan's family. A group of warriors worked hard to save it!
The second is to tell everyone that the war between Song Dynasty and Jin Dynasty is not over yet, so now is not the time to practice political correctness!
"Your Majesty," Yu Wen Cuizhong, who was promoted together with Li Gang and became the right servant of Shangshu and the minister of Zhongshu, also came out to play, "I wonder what you plan to do with the twelfth daughter Wu begged to buy?"
The fact that Zhao Kai slept with Wu Qimai's daughter... has become a fait accompli! I’m already asleep, what else can I do? If an ordinary person did such a thing, he might be charged with something. But Zhao Kai is an emperor who follows his words! And he was also a powerful emperor who was particularly good at fighting. If we want to rank the emperors of the Song Dynasty, the ones who are qualified to be ranked in front of him are Taizu and Taizong (Zhao Guangyi’s fighting skills are definitely not as good as him, but Zhao Kai has not yet) Hit the Sorghum River to change). One of these two robbed Mrs. Huarui, and the other is said to have raped Little Empress Zhou. It seems that no Qingtian master dared to stand up for Meng Chang and Li Yu at that time, right?
Therefore, Yu Wencuizhong does not dare to pursue Zhao Kai's fault now. He only dares to ask Zhao Kai what he plans to do next.
Zhao Kai said with a smile: "It depends on how well King Kang and Qin Yushi negotiate with the gold thieves. After all, the two to three hundred thousand troops Wu begged to buy are still on the edge of the Juma River... I can't fight back now." If they can break this war, I will be serving the country and the people and I will suffer a little loss."
What he meant by this was that he could give Wanyanyan a decent title!
Otherwise, how can we "suffer"? Both parties are very happy about this, it’s a win-win situation!
While showing his trump card, Zhao Kai glanced over the faces of the group of civil servants with piercing eyes, taking in all the expressionless faces.
The people below could neither investigate nor stop Zhao Kai's favor on Wan Yan Yan.
But this title... ministers can interfere.
Because Zhao Kai had to go through the "recruitment" process to give Wanyan Yan a status, and this matter had to be handled by the Rites Department.
If Zhao Kai directly gave the order to the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Rites could ignore it. If Zhao Kai wants to issue an edict through Zhongshu's sect, then the prime minister and ministers can exercise the power to refute it.
So under normal circumstances, this is difficult to accomplish.
However, the current situation is special, and Wanyanyan's status is likely to become an important part of the peace talks between Song and Jin Dynasties.
The Song-Jin peace talks... were the greatest political correctness for the civil servants in the court!
Because if the war between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty continues, then Zhao Kai will always implement "defense from the center" and personally lead the army to fight against the Jin Dynasty.
If Zhao Kai stays in the army for a long time, the power of the Camping and Marching Counselor Department will become more and more powerful. If it develops, it may replace the Zhengshitang and become the de facto center of the Song Dynasty.
The "center" and "chief ministers" of the Song Dynasty were different from the responsible cabinets of later generations. Their source of power was to prepare and issue edicts for officials. When Zhao Kai led his troops on an expedition, they could not follow Zhao Kai, so Zhao Kai would issue edicts through the Marching Counselor Department and the Marching Hanlin.
Although the Marching Hanlin could draft edicts for Zhao Kai, they had no channel to issue them... The edicts issued in front of the army had to be escorted by troops before they could be sent to the court, so the Military Hanlin was actually subordinate to the Marching Army. Counselor Division!
In addition, the officials who can take charge of the March Consultation Department are all comrades who have accompanied Zhao Kai through life and death. This is a life-long friendship that cannot be compared with the chief ministers in the court. If the long-term development continues, military counselors with military backgrounds will replace the two government ministers with literary talents... By then, they will use military skills to control civilized affairs!
Seeing that the ministers had nothing to say, Zhao Kai turned his eyes to the stiff face of Zhao Gou who seemed to be in a daze.
"Brother Ninth!"
no response......
"King Kang!"
Unmoving as a mountain...
"Zhao Gou!"
Just ignore you...
Zhao Kai was a little confused now. What happened to this "Song Gaozong"? Are you scared out of your wits?
So he had no choice but to wink at Qin Hui, who was standing next to Zhao Gou. Qin Hui quickly pulled Zhao Gou's robe: "Kang Kang, His Highness Prince Kang!"
"Ah," Zhao Gou woke up from a dream and quickly saluted Zhao Kai, "Your Majesty, I was temporarily absent-minded. I am guilty. I am guilty."
"It's okay, it's okay," Zhao Kai said with a smile, "You and Qin Hui go back and prepare. I will send troops to escort you on your way tomorrow."
On the road?
Why does it sound so permeable?
"Your Majesty," Qin Hui asked with a mournful face, "I wonder what terms your Majesty plans to propose for peace?"
Zhao Kai said: "There are only two conditions. One is to restore the status quo before the war between the two countries in October of the seventh year of Xuanhe...including borders and coins; the other is the title of Wanyan Yan, the twelfth princess of the Jin Kingdom. , this marriage has become a fait accompli, and the status still needs to be carefully discussed. Wouldn’t it be beautiful if the northern and southern dynasties could form a marriage and maintain peace and tranquility on the border forever? "
Qin Hui felt that this matter was still a bit unreliable, so he asked again: "Your Majesty, if the gold thief refuses to return the Yanshan Mansion Road land, or asks for an increase in annual coins, how should we respond?"
"Then let's continue the fight!" Zhao Kai said with a smile, "If I lose, then we have to make some concessions. If I win, then I have to increase the price!"
In fact, Zhao Kai had no intention of paying the money... He could give money, but only to Wu Qimai and Puluhu, not to the Kingdom of Jin.
Because if you give 500,000 a year to the Kingdom of Jin, it means that the various factions will divide the accounts. No matter how you divide it, it will be spread out in order to save face. beneficial.
But if the money was given to Wu Qimai and Puluhu through Wanyan Yansai... the effect would be different! Wu Qimai and Puluhu would only use their money to poach the Nianhan sect and Aguda sect. Maybe they will even try their best to get rid of Nianhan and Wushu, a group of great warriors who are good at fighting.
By then, the Great Jin Kingdom will be severely weakened and even fall into internal strife, and Zhao Kai will be able to free up his hands to destroy the Western bandits.
Once the Western Thieves are wiped out, will the Golden Thieves still last?
However, Zhao Kai, who was making his own wishful thinking, never expected that at this time, someone was already sharpening his sword, preparing to find an opportunity to kill the two traitors Zhao Gou and Qin Hui.
In Xiongzhou City, Wanyan Xiebao, who had come from Qingzhou after a long journey, was discussing secretly with his father Wanyan Nianhan, Xi Yin, Han Qixian, Yin Shuke, Lou Shi and others.
"Dad, we must not let Wu Qimai and Zhao Kai form a marriage! If the two of them collude, you will not be able to become a master!"
"I know, but how can I stop it now?"
"If you don't do it, you won't stop!" Wanyan Xiebao waved his hand and made a cutting gesture.
