On June 1, the fourth year of Xuanhe, in Jinan Mansion, Gongsun Sheng held a piece of good news and said with a smile: "Brother, Tong Guan and the others have surrendered."
When Song Jiang heard this, he took it and looked at it, then shook his head and said: "It's a few days earlier than I expected. It seems that our Privy Councilor, His Highness Prince Kang, must be starving!!"
The route to escape north was completely blocked, and Tong Guan could only retreat to Yunhai Mountain with the remaining tens of thousands of troops.
Lin Chong commanded an army of 60,000, and surrounded the mountain without attacking. Tong Guan failed to break through the siege many times. Without the relief of food and grass, it was impossible to survive. Surrender was only a matter of time.
"I heard that His Highness Prince Kang is still ill," Gongsun Sheng said.
When Song Jiang heard this, he smiled and said: "Then we need to see a doctor. The imperial envoy has arrived at Daming Mansion. I will leave the day after tomorrow, but we can't let our Highness die of illness!!"
"yes!!"
"In addition, we should treat Tong Guan kindly. I think he has value and is also a good bargaining chip in our negotiations."
After Gongsun Sheng nodded, he said: "Brother, there are many brothers now. I hope that with this great victory, my brother will officially ascend the throne as emperor. Maybe he ascends the throne as emperor too early, but he can also become king and completely break away from the Song Dynasty!!"
Song Jiang smiled and said, "This is what Xiao Rang suggested!!"
"Brother Xiao Rang is just one of the representatives. I think even the military advisor has this idea," Gongsun Sheng said.
After hearing this, Song Jiang shook his head slightly and said: "I think it's a little too early! Although the imperial court has failed and is decayed, it is not yet time to completely change the world. I think the banner of the Song Dynasty is still useful!!"
"Brother Yingming" Gongsun Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. Although Jingdong won the battle, its overall strength was actually far from enough to shock the world. There were still many loyal ministers in the Song Dynasty. At this time, becoming emperor, in addition to getting Apart from a name, it has no effect at all. Instead, it will completely become the sworn enemy of the imperial court and a thorn in the flesh of those loyal to the Song Dynasty.
Song Jiang stood up at this time and said: "Actually, the military advisors and others do not want this support. They are probably more worried about Jiangnan."
"What my brother said is true. Jiangnan has openly rebelled. It will never be possible to accept the imperial decree. If it wants to be stable, it will definitely establish a country. The honorific title Shenggong is probably not suitable anymore. He is not the emperor, but also the king." Gongsun Sheng After saying that, he said: "Actually, the worries below are reasonable. Now that the two parties are in alliance, if my brother's position is too low, I am afraid that the brothers below will think that they are behind Jiangnan. At the same time, Jiangnan will probably be in trouble. It's not good. Take further action.”
"What do you mean?"
"King Liang, or King Qi!!" Gongsun Sheng suddenly said seriously.
"Wang Jue??" Song Jiang's eyes narrowed.
"Yes, only Wang Jue can be worthy of my brother's current status, and can also stabilize and appease the alliance with Jiangnan."
Song Jiang thought for a while, frowned and said, "Will the court give it to me?"
"I thought they had no choice!!"
After Song Jiang was silent for a while, he said softly: "The King of Liang is not suitable. Although Liangshan was once our foundation, the banditry is too strong. Jingdong was the land of Qilu in ancient times, and Qi was once the overlord of the world. I think the King of Qi is more suitable." "
"My brother is wise, and my brother also agrees with the name of King Qi!!" After Gongsun Sheng said this, he suddenly said respectfully: "Since the king has made this decision, I think there is no need to go to Daming Mansion in person to see the imperial envoy."
After hearing Gongsun Sheng calling himself a minister, Song Jiang was slightly uncomfortable, but he continued in silence and expressed his attitude.
"In this case, you should go there in person, as my future right minister of Qi State," Song Jiang said.
"I accept my order!!"
. . . .
Two days later, in the yamen of Daming Mansion, Zheng Wangzhi looked at Gongsun Sheng, who had a calm face in front of him, and said angrily: "King Qi!! This is impossible."
"If it doesn't work, then there's no need to talk about it, let's see the guests off," Gongsun Sheng waved his hand casually.
"you!!"
"Zheng Shilang, although the position of King Qi seems to be high, it is just an imperial edict. My brother's King Qi is still the prince of the Song Dynasty, and the future Qi State will also be a vassal state of the Song Dynasty. We are not like Jiangnan. , directly rebelled against the Song Dynasty and became independent, why? Because in my brother's heart, he still has feelings for the Song Dynasty, and he does not want to see the world completely in chaos." Zhu Wu, the magistrate of Daming Prefecture, said softly.
When Zheng Wangzhi heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, "I want to meet Mr. Tong and His Royal Highness Prince Kang first."
"No, the imperial edict must be issued first," Gongsun Sheng said coldly, without giving any room for maneuver.
"this.."
"Shilang Zheng, you really can't make up your mind about some things, but we can wait," Chen Dong said with a smile.
. . . .
A few days later, in the Chui Gong Hall in Bianjing, Zhao Ji was seen saying with anger on his face: "He actually wants the throne!!"
"The official family, Song Jiang's ambition, will never satisfy him. If it is given to him, it will be equivalent to conferring the entire Jingdong to Song Jiang," Liang Shicheng said angrily next to him.
Hearing this, Zhao Ji looked at Zongze, who had just become Privy Councilor with a calm face next to him.
"Zong Qing, what do you think??"
"In the official family, I think that not only should he be given the title of King of Qi, but he should also be more generous and directly explain that the entire Jingdong is regarded as a fiefdom of Qi State. Song Jiang is not a traitor, but a slandered loyal minister. I want to send a message to In the whole world, officials can even directly canonize him as the king's younger brother!!" Zongze said with a serious face.
"Primary Minister Zong, don't talk nonsense." Upon hearing this, Zhao Huan glanced at his father with worry.
"The official, the prince, and the minister did not speak nonsense. The court did not give it to the King of Qi. Song Jiang must have rebelled against Song and established himself. In fact, the King of Qi is a fictitious person, and the king's brother is also a fictitious person. If he does not give it, Song Jiang is already the master of Jingdong. This It is a fact, but if the officials were more generous and gave it directly, then in the hearts of the people in the world, Song Jiang would still be a minister of Song, and he would be deeply favored by Long. This also means that he would not dare to face Bianjing in a short period of time. Take action, because once you take action, you will definitely be ashamed of the scholars and common people in the world!!"
"I have carefully understood Song Jiang during this period and found that he values righteousness very much, which is the so-called orthodoxy. Such people are extremely dangerous and are very different from the bandits and bandits of the past and present. He values orthodoxy because only Only with the name of orthodoxy can the common people and scholars from all over the world surrender willingly, and he is very good at taking advantage of this. But precisely because of this, as long as His Majesty does not treat him badly, he will never dare to attack the imperial capital without any good reason, even if it is the imperial capital. Now that there are no soldiers, he will wait for the consent of His Majesty and the Crown Prince before marching."
Liang Shicheng and Zhao Huan frowned and immediately looked at Zhao Ji.
At this time, Zhao Ji's anger in his heart calmed down a lot under Zong Ze's words. After a slight silence, he said: "Zong Qing, as you said, isn't this Song Jiang still a wise minister?"
"As long as His Majesty issues an edict, the emperor will not be in chaos. Song Jiang can indeed be treated as a wise minister. It doesn't matter if the Daming Mansion gives it, and it may be good for the border. I dare to bet that if the Liao Kingdom attempts to invade the border again, Song Jiang will be treated as a wise minister even if there is no imperial edict. He will also lead an army to resist, because he values orthodoxy and the heart of the world's scholars. However, I just said that the imperial capital must not be in chaos, because once he is given the opportunity to lead his army into the imperial capital in a legitimate and legitimate manner, it will definitely be The second Cao Mengde, no one in the world can stop him," Zongze said seriously.
After Zhao Ji's eyes condensed, he looked at Zhao Huan who nodded slightly, and finally sighed: "If Song Jiangzheng is willing to resist foreigners, then there is nothing wrong with giving him the position of King of Qi, and now this is the only way! !”
"Send the order and officially enthrone Song Jiang, the envoy of Jingdong Festival, as the King of Song Dynasty and Qi Dynasty!!"
“Spread the word quickly!!”
"yes!!"
"At the same time, remove Cai Jing, Gao Qiu, and Tong Guan from all positions at the same time!!" Zhao Ji hesitated slightly and gritted his teeth.
"Your Majesty is wise!!" Zongze shouted in admiration. If Song Jiang is a loyal minister at this time, then there must be treacherous ministers in the court. It is time for Cai Jing and the others to take the blame. This is what the people of the Song Dynasty want to see. of.
"Tell him Song Jiang that as long as I am still here, he will not object. I am willing to give Jingdong to him temporarily, but I also hope that he will not let me down!!" Zhao Ji said a little tiredly.
"Yes, Your Majesty!!"
"Your Majesty, there is an urgent military situation. Fenzhou has been captured by rebels. The leader of the rebels, Tian Hu, has proclaimed himself King of Jin."
"What?" Zhao Ji, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, changed his face again.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. I have learned about the traitors in Fenzhou. Not to mention Songjiang in the east of Jingdong, even La in the south of the Yangtze River is far inferior. I am willing to lead troops to go on an expedition!!" Zongze said immediately after hearing this.
After Zhao Ji saw it, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Now I can only rely on Zong Qing."
"Your Majesty, rest assured!"
