Wu Min's explosion was beyond everyone's expectations. The most contradictory minister in the dynasty was buried here because of a drink and a secret provocation.
At this time, news about Wu Min also reached Zhao Huan, who was hosting a banquet for Master Zhong. Unsurprisingly, Tong Guan did not stop Wu Min. He once again proved his incompetence.
"What this person did is a disgrace to His Majesty. He deserves to be killed!"
Zhao Huan's current bodyguard, General Yao Pingzhong, who was also from the Western Army, had stood up with an angry face and was about to go out to resolve the matter for Zhao Huan.
"Everyone is dead, do you want to whip the corpse in public?"
Just when Yao Pingzhong was about to make a move, Zhong Shidao, who was in his seventies, slapped his hand on the table and stopped all Yao Pingzhong's movements.
Afterwards, Zhong Shidao bowed to Zhao Huan and directly began to admonish him.
"Wu Min is too special for Your Majesty. It was Wu Min who allowed Your Majesty to take over the throne of the Song Dynasty against all the opinions. Now that this has happened, we can no longer regret it. thing.
The most important thing at this time is not to punish anyone, nor to investigate what happened, but to ask Your Majesty to calm down and make sure to calm down the matter.
Otherwise, if chaos reigns in the Song Dynasty, this Jin man will definitely take advantage of it. "
Zhong Shidao's words made Zhao Huan calm down and he also looked at Zhao Ding aside.
"Zhao Qing, please go outside first, comfort the surrounding people, and ask Tong Guan not to be impulsive. I will be there soon!"
"I obey the decree."
Looking at Zhao Ding's leaving figure, Zhao Huan couldn't help but feel a headache. He looked at Master Zhongdao on the side and asked again.
"Who do you think Mr. Zhong is behind this time?"
"This court is nothing more than fighting, making peace, and surrendering the three forces. It goes without saying that Li Gang, who was transferred away from the capital by His Majesty, is the banner figure of the main war faction.
His Majesty's move to transfer him was indeed a clever move. After all, the current Li Gang is indeed not suitable for the current game.
The prime minister Li Bangyan is the representative of Zhuhe's lineage. His subordinates have great influence in the court, and even Wu Min is the main force of Zhuhe.
But the veteran felt that this matter had nothing to do with Mr. Li Bangyan. "
"My old husband thinks this is another lineage..."
"To be disrespectful to Your Majesty, in fact, although I advocate war, I don't have much resentment towards those who advocate peace, because since the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty, the war and peace have been constantly changing.
At that time, Prime Minister Han Qi advocated for peace, but when it was time to take action, he did not hesitate.
Although Xianggong Han's ability... is really unjustifiable, this is just the national condition of the Song Dynasty.
It should be obvious that His Majesty ascended the throne. If Li Bangyan had not been watching with cold eyes and even secretly supporting him, it would have been very difficult for His Majesty to successfully take over the position from the late emperor who was assisted by the Six Thieves.
The main battle is not only attitude, but also integrity, and I feel that the Song Dynasty is worthy of a battle.
In the final analysis, the main battle can be said to be about surviving in death, enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens for the survival of the Song Dynasty.
In all the civil and military dynasties, there is only one kind of person who will make His Majesty unable to come to power, wishing he could offend himself and completely lose all power.
I think when the old minister said this, Your Majesty should know who this is. "
"I urge surrender, Prime Minister Bai Shizhong, and Wang Fu who is jumping up and down in Kaifeng... If I have to say it, there are probably my father and brother behind this... that's all, these I know the matter."
"Your Majesty, you are wise!"
Zhong Shidao also revealed the previous things in a tacit understanding. Some things can only be said once, as long as Zhao Huan understands them.
To say any more would be unethical.
Of course, Zhong Shidao didn't finish without saying anything. He still continued to make suggestions for Zhao Huan.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for going too far. I will take care of the rest."
"Please, Mr. Zhong, I am here to see what Mr. Xiang does!"
Zhong Shidao nodded slightly towards Zhao Huan, then walked to the front of the crowd and looked directly at many officials.
"Chen Dong!" The first person Zhong Shidao pointed out was Chen Dong, the representative of the imperial students. This loyal minister of the Song Dynasty who had repeatedly asked the six thieves to be punished in history was still looking excited at this time.
Hearing his idol call his name, Chen Dong almost jumped up with excitement.
"The students are here. If the breeder gives you any orders, it doesn't matter. If you go up mountains of swords and go down into seas of fire, students will never refuse!"
"Haha... I'm not a violent person. Why do you need to go up mountains of swords and seas of fire? I just want you to leave the palace and go find some imperial students who are willing to serve the country. Be prepared. After I turn the situation around, please give me your order. The imperial court resisted the Jin army.
Just make this matter completely true. "
"Don't worry, sir, this matter is easy. A certain family will go right away. There are countless passionate people in the Imperial Academy. I will never let down the expectations of your majesty and the sir."
"Okay, go quickly!"
"As commanded."
After Chen Dong left quickly, Zhong Shidao looked at Yao Pingzhong again.
"How many people do you have available now?"
"Going back to my old husband, a certain family currently has more than 300 close soldiers and horses under his command. They are all descendants of my Yao family, as well as kind sons and close friends who have passed the test.
They are loyal to His Majesty, and they will fight with swords and fire without hesitation. "
"Ask them to be prepared and ambush near the palace gate in a while. You will be of great use."
"Hiss..." As soon as these words came out, everyone present couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"What do you mean, sir, would someone do such a disrespectful thing to His Majesty?"
"Now that things have happened, I even feel that that person may have already arrived in Kaifeng!"
"How is that possible!" Hu Yin exclaimed at this time, "Although we have not been able to capture all of the Kaifeng City defenders, it is definitely more than that..."
"Who is the guard general of Kaifeng now?"
"This is Li Yue from the Privy Council."
"Be careful with this person. He may not only be of the Lord He's lineage."
Zhong Shidao's words once again made everyone couldn't help but tremble in their hearts. This time they did not dare to say anything more. Some people had even persuaded Zhao Huan not to leave the palace.
This time Zhong Shidao didn't say anything. He was also waiting for His Majesty's decision.
"If we wait for the result in this palace without leaving the palace, will it be safe?" Zhao Huan chuckled helplessly, "I can't go into battle to kill the enemy to solve the national crisis, but I can't even dare to leave the palace gate." .
Today my life is in your hands. "
"Your Majesty, are you sure you won't think twice before acting?"
“When you think, think, and when you break, break!”
"Okay, your Majesty's words are very kind!"
Master Zhong said hello, and the matter was finally settled.
At this time, the commotion outside the palace had completely begun. Fortunately, Zhao Ding appeared in time and stopped Tong Guan's impulse, so that things did not worsen.
But even so, the situation has become increasingly out of control.
Li Bangyan's face suddenly darkened when he saw Wu Min's determination, but then he looked at the other prime minister, Bai Shizhong, who had retreated to the corner. He frowned, but didn't say much. say what.
"Won't Mr. Li come forward?" The confidants around him couldn't help but came to Li Bangyan and asked, but they got no response.
At this time, Li Bangyan has understood a lot of things. He doesn't trust anyone around him now. He is waiting for the final result.
Bai Shizhong in the corner was also watching with cold eyes, watching the increasingly noisy situation, and watching more and more ministers impassionedly asking His Majesty to give them an explanation.
Asking His Majesty whether he wanted peace or war, Bai Shizhong had a happy smile on his face.
"My husband is really good at it. Such a simple thing puts your majesty in a dilemma. I think in the future, I can take it a step further. Even if I can make him king, I'm afraid it won't be a problem."
Wang Fu on the side also had a smile on his face. Everything today was planned by the two of them.
Even Li Bangyan, who had been indifferent and uninvolved in this matter, was also plotted by them.
"My lord, you are so clever that you were able to persuade Zhang Yue to help. If Zhang Yue hadn't motivated Wu Min before, it would have been really difficult to do this."
"In the final analysis, His Majesty is invited by the person who is leading the battle. He is more or less supporting the main battle. Even if he is not the main battle, it is still for peace. In the end, we will not gain much benefit.
Although Zhang Yue is also a man of peace, he also has great ambitions.
If he was allowed to remain under Li Bangyan, he would probably not be able to accept it. Convincing Zhang Yue would not be a big deal. "
"Then the late emperor... no, when will your majesty appear?"
"That person in the palace wanted to use King Kang and Zhao Gou to appease His Majesty, but he didn't know that King Kang was Your Majesty's beloved son. How could he be so driven?
Now that His Majesty has entered Kaifeng City under the protection of King Kang, as long as we force His Majesty to admit his crime today, we will force him to abandon Zhao Ding, Zhong Shidao and others who are in the main battle.
In one fell swoop, His Majesty can be restored to his original position, and then you and I will all be ministers of the Great Song Dynasty. "
"That's it?"
"Hehe... Mr. Bai probably doesn't know who the general sent by Daijin this time is."
"I just heard that the civil strife in the Jin Kingdom has been calmed down. The specific person who led the army is still unknown."
"Dajin's troops came in four groups. One of them was Wanyan Zongwang, the famous Jin general who attacked Yanjing. He led 200,000 troops from Nanjing Road and attacked the important area of Yanshan Prefecture.
The second was to attack Taiyuan and other places in Hedong. The leader was Wanyan Zonghan, the famous general of the Jin Dynasty. He appointed Wanyan Zonghan as Marshal Zuo to attack the Hedong area of Taiyuan.
Hedong Zhe Kexing is dead, and the Western Army cannot be reused now. As long as Zhongshi Dao is gone, there will be no one left in the Song Dynasty to compete with the Jin Kingdom.
Of course, even if he doesn't leave, it won't matter!
King Qin's army cannot reach here, and the Jin Kingdom's cavalry has already arrived at the city.
Moreover, Wanyanchang's attack on Cizhou was unfavorable. Now the Jin Kingdom sent reinforcements again. The leader was Wanyan Zongbi, the famous general of the Jin Dynasty, who was also the Jin Wushu who was now in the spotlight in the Jin Kingdom.
There is also a surprise force that has bypassed many passes in Hedong and will arrive at Moutuogang in at most two days! "
"Hiss..." After hearing the last name, even Bai Shizhong felt frightened. He knew that Wang Fu was not clear with the Jin people, but he didn't know that these people were so sophisticated. Definitely.
This is going to break the roots of the Song Dynasty.
"Motuogang, that is the last hope of the Song Dynasty."
"Of course I know that there is the last horse breeding farm in the Song Dynasty, with a total of 20,000 military horses and countless fodder. This is the wealth accumulated by the Song Dynasty over the past few decades.
It is also the reason why Li Bangyan and others dare to continue to advocate peace!
But only by breaking Moutuogang will the Song Dynasty understand that resistance is useless! "
"Actually, I have been very confused. Is this your idea or His Majesty's idea?"
"Your Majesty has agreed to bow his head and avoid the Yangtze River. At the same time, he is willing to pay annual coins and be close to the Kingdom of Jin. From then on, we can rely on the Yangtze River to rule the world across the Yangtze River and rule with Dajin, and enjoy long-term peace and stability!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are so courageous!"
"That's natural!"
"Okay, the palace door is open..." At this moment, Bai Shizhong's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but smile when he saw the open palace door, knowing that the biggest show of the night was finally about to begin.
"Prepare to light the fire. Today, I will let you return this position to His Majesty!"
At this time, Wang Fu also took a deep breath and made all preparations.
