Zhongdu, near the imperial palace.
Yin Zhiping and Zhao Gongli were peeping around. They had been practicing martial arts in the Quanzhen Sect for nearly twenty years. Among the younger generation, they were among the best in terms of moves and skills. They felt that they could do anything in the world.
Yin Zhiping was a little dissatisfied: "Junior Brother Zhao, do you think the master is crazy? He actually asked us to secretly pick up the crown prince and grandson of the Jin Dynasty. If Mongolia knows about it, will our Quanzhen Sect still have a way to survive?"
"Senior Brother Yin, what my uncle does has his own reasons. Isn't it the behavior of a gentleman to talk nonsense behind his back?" Zhao Zhijing criticized.
Yin Zhiping curled his lips.
Pretend, keep pretending, if you dare, pretend for the rest of your life!
"Hey, Junior Brother Zhao, is that the Crown Princess? And isn't that Guo Jing flying in the sky?" Yin Zhiping widened his eyes and looked into the distance.
There is actually a person flying in the air, holding three people in his hand. Is this a god? .
The key three people seemed to be their targets.
Zhao Zhijing was also dumbfounded: "Senior Brother Yin, is that Guo Jing who competed with you in the desert and was slightly better than you? Do you have any misunderstandings about Yi Chiu?"
Yin Zhiping:......
"Who's peeping?" Guo Jing suddenly looked here, his eyes like daggers, and his aura was menacing. Then he flicked his finger and flew out two silver needles.
Anyone who dares to peek at him in Zhongdu at this time is naturally his enemy! In his current state, it is inconvenient to fight with others, so he must strike first.
"Whoosh~"
The moment Zhao Zhijing and Guo Jing looked at each other, they felt as if they were being stared at by a wild beast. Their hearts seemed to be pinched and they were immediately out of breath. Then, the silver needle passed through the body, and the soul seemed to be stabbed, and the pain was excruciating.
After a long time, the pain subsided. The two looked at each other and touched their bodies, feeling very surprised.
Unscathed!
As expected, Guo Jing had a silver-like pewter spearhead, and he was also known as Guo Invincible. They were forced to accept his hidden weapon attack, and it was no problem!
When I go back, I can have fun with my junior brothers again! Yin Zhiping thought secretly. After being happy for a while, he got up, dusted himself off, walked to the corner, lifted up his robe and started to clean up his personal hygiene.
At that moment, if it hadn't been for the success of his quiet work over the years, he might have been so frightened that he could no longer hold it in any longer.
After a while, looking at the fan-shaped water curtain in front of him, Yin Zhiping thoughtfully began to check his waist.
When the two of them got together again, their faces were pale and their kidneys were broken. From now on, the two of them could only settle down and become Taoist monks.
…
In the spring of the ninth year of Emperor Taizu of Mongolia (1214), Guo Wudi, the most powerful man in the Mongolian kingdom, smashed the gate of Zhongdu with a halberd, and the army entered the city.
Wanyan Honglie led some of his officials and troops to flee, but was ambushed by Tuo Lei and his men, and was directly captured. Marshal Cui Li of Jinxicheng killed Wanyan Nushen and others who stayed behind, and surrendered to the city.
In April, Temujin accepted the golden concubine, clan and treasures sent by Cui Li, and the Jin Dynasty was destroyed.
In the process of collecting gold, Temujin adopted the suggestions of Lu You and others, recruited craftsmen, set up factories to smelt iron and make weapons, gradually established an artillery army, and used artillery stones as the first priority when attacking cities. Later, in siege operations, hundreds of cannons were used at one time, and the city was quickly broken.
After breaking the central capital, the Mongolian army divided into three groups and continued southward, fighting invincibly. In December, the Huaixi defense line of the Song Dynasty had been reached.
From the beginning to the end of the year, Temujin finally felt tired, and now that the supplies he had seized and the area he ruled had almost doubled, he already felt something was wrong.
There are many problems in the transmission and response of orders in various places. Even after some cities were attacked, guard sergeants were assassinated.
It is difficult to conquer the world, but it is even harder to govern the world!
In the king's tent, Temujin summoned his sons to discuss whether to go south in one go and destroy the Southern Song Dynasty.
Especially Guo Jing's meaning is very important.
Only on the battlefield did Temujin truly see Guo Jing's power, unpredictable speed, and unparalleled power. In his hands, attacking a city was almost like picking up a city.
All they have to do is keep going, going.
"Father Khan, let's fight. Didn't you say that wherever you look, it is the territory of our Golden Family." King Jochi shouted excitedly.
"Yes, keep fighting. I have never fought so smoothly. My brother-in-law is too powerful." Tuo Lei shouted.
He felt that he and his brother-in-law were invincible together!
Temujin looked at Guo Jing: "Guo Jing, what do you mean?"
Guo Jing is a little distracted. He is from the Song Dynasty. Does he want to lead his troops to attack the Song Dynasty and plunge thousands of Song people into dire straits?
He still remembered a scene he saw in Yangzhou. Her husband went off to fight and never came back. The widow sat at the door with her baby in her arms, her hair disheveled, desperate and helpless.
"Great Khan, I am willing to go to the Song Dynasty for peace talks as an envoy. From now on, the Song Dynasty will become a minister, pay tribute every year, and never betray!" Guo Jing made up his mind.
Temujin's heart sank, as expected.
However, he was also reassured. The power in Guo Jing's hands was too powerful and he controlled his lifeline. As long as he was still as loyal as before, that would be fine.
It's just the Southern Song Dynasty, so what if such a small piece of land is given to Guo Jing? Isn't there still vast land to the west?
"Okay, then, Chief of Ten Thousands Guo Jing, I will now appoint you as our envoy from the Great Mongolia. You will be responsible for negotiating with the Southern Song Dynasty. We require the Southern Song Dynasty to pay tribute of no less than twice the amount of money given to the former!" Temujin ordered.
He is Genghis Khan, the master of the world. The Southern Song Dynasty must not give him less than the Jin Dynasty.
Guo Jing breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to his heart: "Yes!"
…
In the Mongolian grassland, the little yellow cat is raising two naughty children with Li Ping at home.
Shouan is okay. Although he is a boy, he is beaten by Guo Jing whenever he makes a mistake. He is very good.
But the same cannot be said for Guo Fu. She has been pampered by Huang Yaoshi since she was a child, and no one has ever scolded her, so she is very naughty.
On this day, Li Ping went out to resolve conflicts among the left-behind tribes as usual.
Temujin was absent for a long time, and the various tribes gradually began to act unruly. Early in the morning, Li Ping rode a white tiger that was already as tall as a person and rushed out with a large jian.
Seeing that Li Ping was not there, Guo Fu jumped around the room, knocking things over and trying to grab Miao Le's food.
"Hehe, Brother Le, mother told me to eat less to save food for you. How can you eat so well? I think you have gained weight!" Guo Fu laughed.
The little yellow cat suddenly fell into deep thought and thought for a while: "Meow!"
Your father and mother have been away for a year, eating delicious food, having fun, and having other children. You are still happy, they don’t want you anymore!
When Guo Fu heard this, she was stunned. Her big black eyes turned and became moist.
Subsequently.
"Wow!" The little girl suddenly burst into tears and couldn't stop the tears from flowing out!
The little yellow cat grinned, showing its sharp fangs, shining brightly.
The cute little girl is still cute when she cries.
…
In Huaixi, Guo Jing led a hundred soldiers through the border defense. When he turned around, he was surprised to find Xin Qiji following behind him with tens of thousands of troops.
"Master Xin, what do you mean?" Guo Jing asked curiously.
Xin Qiji smiled and said: "Brother Guo, you also know your strength, you are invincible in the world, so for the safety of the official family, I have no choice but to take the elite of the army back to Lin'an to protect you."
"If you launch a temporary attack on the official family and are surrounded by tens of thousands of troops, you can't kill all of us before you run out of strength, right?"
Guo Jing:? ? ?
These words seem familiar.
"Oh!" Guo Jing no longer cared.
He came here for the purpose of peace. Besides, according to the system of the Song Dynasty, even if the emperor died, as long as the ministers discussed it, another one could be elected immediately.
As the mission passed through Yangzhou, the team behind it unknowingly grew a lot, including many martial arts masters, and Guo Jing also saw acquaintances.
"Master Lu, Elder Li, are you also here to protect the official family?" Guo Jing was curious.
Villa Master Lu and Elder Li looked at each other and nodded quickly: "Yes, Brother Guo, your name of Guo Wudi has spread throughout the world. The safety of the official family has been linked to the Song Dynasty.
Nowadays, all heroes who are patriotic and serving the people have begun to gather in Lin'an. "
Guo Jing fell into deep thought.
I haven't read much, please don't fool me? Logically speaking, shouldn't they gather in places like Xiangyang, an important border defense town? What's the use of coming to Lin'an?
Outside Lin'an City, at Shili Pavilion, Prime Minister Shi Miyuan led an honor guard and was waiting in front of the pavilion with great expectations.
He has his current status because he is good at peace talks. When the Kingdom of Jin was strong, he had a good relationship with the prince of the Kingdom of Jin. If he has a good relationship with Guo Wudi now, his status will always be as stable as Mount Tai.
As for the money, treasures, and women he needs to make friends with him, it is not his fault anyway. It is an indifferent matter, and even the title of minister and son has nothing to do with him.
After a long time, Shi Miyuan saw the envoy coming and greeted him warmly: "Mr. Envoy, thank you for coming all the way! The officials specially sent me to greet you here. If there is anything inconsiderate, just say it."
】
Any needs, we will do our best to meet you! "
Guo Jing was noncommittal. He had been chatting with Xin Qiji for the past two days. He also knew that this guy was shameless, betrayed the people and the country, and showed no mercy.
"Boom boom boom~" Shi Miyuan was a little confused when he saw tens of thousands of Song troops following him, as well as thousands of martial arts masters with colorful weapons.
"Master Xin, what are you doing?"
Xin Qiji smiled and said: "Envoy Guo is amazingly powerful. We are afraid that he will endanger the safety of the people and officials of the Song Dynasty."
Shi Miyuan fell into deep thought.
Why does he feel like these people are rebelling?
But there is no reason to rebel with a Mongolian envoy? What can he bring to them?
Officials in the Song Dynasty had extremely high salaries, excellent benefits, and various hidden incomes, including rights, money, status, and women. They could have whatever they wanted. Can Guo Jing give them these?
Besides, Xin Qiji is already over sixty years old. What else would he want? It can't be the elixir of longevity, right?
Shi Miyuan thought for a while and felt that it was unlikely, and now was not the time to say more.
"Sir Envoy, please come to me. The officials have been waiting for you for a long time. For the sake of peace between the two countries, I, the Song Dynasty, are willing to make some necessary sacrifices!"
Guo Jing nodded. He came here not only for peace talks, but more importantly, he wanted to ask if they could not impose taxes on ordinary people. Those wealthy households all have oil leaking from their homes, so why not impose tax on their homes?
At the gate of the city, more than a dozen red-robed officials were waiting eagerly. When they saw Shi Miyuan coming, they trotted to greet them one by one.
"Lord Messenger, hard work, hard work!"
"Master Guo, we were still a family five hundred years ago!" said a senior official named Guo.
Guo Jing nodded: "Take me to see the official. I have something important to discuss."
"It should, it should." Shi Miyuan quickly called to the carriage waiting not far away, and took his hand affectionately to set off.
While still watching the lively city defense at the city gate, I suddenly realized something was wrong. There are too many people watching behind here, and why are there so many armed sergeants?
"Hua Hua Hua~" Hundreds of soldiers climbed onto the city wall and took over the defense skillfully.
"Prime Minister Shi Miyuan ordered that in order to ensure the safety of the people in the city, it is now up to us to change the defense!" said the white-haired Xin Qiji.
The city defense general was a little confused, he didn't receive the official letter.
However, after looking at Xin Qiji's serious expression, the general hesitated for a moment, waved his hand, and retreated with his men.
This kind of thing happened last time when Shi Miyuan attacked and killed Mr. Han. The procedures will be made up later. In the Song Dynasty, the right to speak was in the hands of civilian officials. Even if it was their fault, the blame could be placed on the military attache.
The last general who defended the city whom I asked about had been demoted to border defense and died in battle.
Then, all the defense troops in various streets, city defenses, including the palace, were replaced without realizing it.
Some people do it for their faith and for the betterment of this country. More elderly people live longer in order to survive. When they come together for a certain purpose, the power they unleash is astonishing.
Court meeting.
Guo Jing stepped forward: "The envoy from the Great Mongolia, Guo Jing, pays homage to the officials."
Zhao Kuo stepped down from the throne and said very affectionately: "Prince-in-law, you have come all the way, it is too hard to travel and travel. Come, let's have a banquet, play music, sing and dance!"
The day before yesterday, Zhao Kuo summoned the few generals he had. After calculation, he found that as long as Guo Jing was here, the Southern Song Dynasty would have no chance of winning. So he has decided that as long as he can still be the emperor, he will agree to any conditions of Da Mengti.
"Officials, it's not good, there is an army outside and has surrounded the main hall!" Suddenly a eunuch came in and shouted.
Zhao Kuo's face darkened, he looked at the officials and asked, "Who mobilized the troops?"
Many of the officials looked at each other, but there were still a few old men with their hands in their sleeves and their heads lowered.
"Whoa, whoa, whoosh!" Amidst the sound of armors rubbing together, Xin Qiji entered the hall with several generals in armor.
"Xinqing family, what do you mean?" Zhao Kuo suddenly had an ominous premonition.
Xin Qiji didn't look at him. He knelt down directly to the stunned Guo Jing and said loudly: "In the Song Dynasty, the emperor Zhao Kuo respected the crooks, trusted the traitors, and killed the loyal. Government orders changed day by day, official names changed every month, and currency changed every year. , the officials and the people were confused and did not know what to do, the merchants and travelers were poor and embarrassed, and howled in the market.
If it is set as six tubes, it will increase the weight and tax, be mean to the people, support oneself generously, gain popularity, bring wealth to the public auxiliary, take bribes from top to bottom, hundreds of thousands of people will starve to death, and the roads and fields will stink.
Tens of thousands of people have been defeated in battles, trapped by harsh laws, succumbed to famine, and affected by diseases and epidemics. The dead were exposed and their bodies were not covered up, while the living were scattered, including young children and orphaned women, living as captives.
This is a grave sin against others! It’s not appropriate to be a king!
However, the destiny cannot be rejected, the divine weapon cannot remain idle for a long time, the ministers cannot be without an owner, and all the machines cannot be without control.
Today there is a wise man, Guo Jing, who is wise and powerful, has a broad mind, loves the people like a son, is accompanied by dragons and phoenixes when traveling, and is favored by destiny.
For the sake of the world, please ask my emperor to ascend the throne! "
As soon as he finished speaking, the sergeant shouted neatly and loudly from outside the Chui Gong Palace: "Please enthrone my emperor!"
Above the court, more than 20 officials also knelt down and shouted: "Please enthrone my emperor!"
"Rebellion, rebellion!" Zhao Kuo looked around and said angrily, like a clown.
Guo Jing:......
what happened? I'm just here to negotiate, why do I want to become the emperor?
