A month later, the whole world seemed to have completely changed. The people suddenly discovered that there was no longer an emperor above their heads, but one emperor and three kings.
In addition to the emperor of Bianjing, there are King Song Jiang of Qi in the east of Jingdong, King Fangla of Chu in the south of the Yangtze River, and King Tian Hu of Jin in Hebei. Among them, King Song Jiang of Qi is recognized as the strongest among the three kings in the world, and among the three kings, he still obeys the Song Dynasty Being orthodox, after he was officially crowned King of Qi, he immediately sent envoys with generous gifts to the imperial capital to meet the emperor.
This time, the streets of Bianjing were packed with people. There were more than thirty carts of gifts from Qi State. Many people even shouted for the virtue of King Qi. This was because Song Jiang’s life was full of legends and the people worshiped him. Strong; the second and most important thing is that because of Song Jiang, Cai Jing, Gao Qiu and other traitorous officials were all removed from their official positions. This incident was cheered by the whole city, so this tribute tribute was also praised by many scholars and literati. It will affect the world situation in the next twenty years.
The imperial court seemed to have received Song Jiang's support, and began to receive good news one after another. First, Zongze defeated Tian Hu, who occupied the five continents and claimed to be the King of Jin. Although he could not really eliminate it because of insufficient troops and food, he did defeat Jin. The army of the state was completely blocked outside Longde Mansion, and at the same time their attempt to occupy the important town of Taiyuan was shattered. In addition, Han Shizhong of Yangzhou defeated the Chu army three times, making it difficult for the Chu state to cross the Yangtze River for several years. Create a new generation of famous generals.
These two great victories made Zhao Ji extremely excited. Some Taoists who came to Beijing said that this was the benevolence of the emperor. King Qi's luck was integrated into the Song Dynasty. As long as King Qi did not move, it would be difficult for other rebels in the world to do anything. Therefore, he was happy to publicly praise Song Jiang as a minister of Zhuguo in the court. As a result, Zongze officially replaced Tong Guan and Gao Qiu as the first military official in the Song Dynasty, and was awarded the title of Duke Dingguo.
On this day, in the back garden of Bianjing Imperial City, I saw Chen Dong following Zhao Ji. He was the envoy sent to Beijing by Song Jiang.
"Shaoyang, take a seat!!" Zhao Ji looked at the respectful Chen Dong and said warmly.
After hearing this, Chen Dong glanced at Liang Shicheng, who was standing next to him. This man was nicknamed the Hidden Prime Minister of the capital. He used to personally approve Zhao Ji's pen and held dozens of official positions. He was a person who even Cai Jing and Tong Guan wanted to fawn over. Above the court, the only person who could rival Zong Ze was the one he had to win over when he came to Beijing this time.
Liang Shicheng looked at it and smiled slightly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Chen Dong thanked him after looking at it.
"I heard that you will be going back in a few days," Zhao Ji said.
"Yes, Guan Jia, it's been almost half a month since I came here. During this time, I have been treated so kindly by Guan Jia. I am very grateful!!"
Looking at the polite and cautious Chen Dong, Zhao Ji sighed: "I was impulsive about many things, so I misunderstood King Qi. Tell him, as long as I am still here, no one will touch Jingdong!!"
"Thank you, Guan Jia, I will definitely inform you!!"
After Zhao Ji nodded, he said: "By the way, I heard how many times has Prince Yun been to your residence recently?"
Chen Dong's eyes moved and he quickly said: "The officials are aware that His Royal Highness King Yun has indeed come here several times, but he hopes that Qi State can treat the people well and respect the court!!"
"Is that it??" Zhao Ji's expression condensed.
"That's it"
After Zhao Ji looked at it, he shook his head and said: "Although I have many children, the best ones are the prince, King Kang, and King Yun. Gou'er is still cultivated, but Kai'er has been particularly active recently, and has even publicly opposed the prince's suggestions many times. Although I am confused, I am not stupid yet.”
"In the official family, in the heart of King Qi, now there is only Your Majesty. His Majesty has a long life. As for other highnesses, King Qi has never considered anything." After hearing this, Chen Dong immediately said seriously.
After Zhao Ji looked at it carefully, he nodded lightly, "That's good. By the way, I have also prepared some gifts in return. When you go back, bring them to King Qi."
"Thank you Guanjia!!"
Soon after Chen Dong left, Liang Shicheng next to him said: "Your Majesty, it seems that King Qi still has some affection for the imperial court. Looking at this former student of Imperial College, we can know that as Privy Secretary Zong said, as long as If His Majesty is in good health, the King of Qi will have no reason to raise troops again."
He was originally very wary of Song Jiang, but this time when Chen Dong arrived, apart from the official family, the first person to visit was not Zongze but him, and the boxes of gifts also changed his attitude a lot. few.
After Zhao Ji nodded, he said with some bitterness: "It's a pity that there are still two thieves, Fang La and Tian Hu!!"
"Your Majesty, rest assured. Didn't Privy Zong say that these two thieves seem to be very powerful now, but they kill people indiscriminately and poison all living beings. They are already hated by wealthy families from all over the world. They can prosper for a while, but they will never last long. As long as the time is up, in the future It will be settled naturally," Liang Shicheng comforted.
"I hope so!!" Zhao Ji nodded and said with a hint of concern: "By the way, how are Cai Jing and Gao Qiu doing now?"
"It's not good. Many ministers hope that your majesty will punish them severely, especially Tong Gong's defeat this time."
When Zhao Ji heard this, he frowned and said, "Let them have a good rest first!!"
"yes!!"
"Let's go and see the queen. You should be able to feel more secure next time."
"Guan Jia, there is another matter that needs your decision," Liang Shicheng suddenly said after hearing this.
"What??"
"Is it about the alliance with the Jin Kingdom??"
After Zhao Ji's expression changed, he smiled bitterly and said: "Daming Mansion is now in the hands of King Qi. I don't think about any great things now. I just want to stabilize the foundation left by my ancestors. If the Kingdom of Jin wants to talk, let's talk to King Qi!!"
"The officials are wise. This will not only appease the Jin envoys, but also allow the King of Qi to pay more attention to border affairs and have no time to think about other things."
Zhao Ji nodded and said, "That's it."
"yes!!"
In the afternoon, in a huge mansion in Bianjing, Zongze looked at Chen Dong who came to say goodbye and said seriously: "King Qi, there is no need to be grateful to me. If possible, I really want to fight with him. Unfortunately, the court no longer has the capital. Now His Majesty has even praised him as an important minister of the country, and even the people are grateful, because of King Qi, several traitorous ministers have been eradicated!!"
"Zonggong has given me the prize"
Zongze smiled and said, "Fortunately, my old eyes are right. King Qi still has some feelings for Song Dynasty. I won't say anything else. Just tell him one thing."
"Please give me your instructions, Duke Zong"
"I, Zongze, am the only one who is still here. If he is not satisfied, I will fight him to the end. I, the Song Dynasty, also have this background, but if there is a problem at the border, as long as he dares to send troops, I will risk my life. , and will support it to the end!!" Zongze said seriously.
When Chen Dong heard this, he immediately said respectfully: "Don't worry, sir. His Highness once said that if there is an invasion by a foreign tribe, the imperial court cannot fight it. We will fight against it!"
"Okay, okay" Zongze said with satisfaction.
"Sir, actually I came here because of this matter. His Highness plans to change the court's goal from destroying Liao to supporting Liao. As for regaining the lost territory, we will wait for a while."
After Zongze's eyes moved, he suddenly laughed, "Haha, okay, okay. With King Qi here, I feel relieved. Tell him that Daming Mansion is in his hands. He can make the decision on what to do. The Liao Kingdom has already No, the only thing to be feared is the Kingdom of Jin. Although Wang Tu’s hegemony is important, the safety of the people in the world is even more critical.”
"yes!!"
"Shaoyang, I have one more thing that I hope King Qi can help with."
"Sir, please tell me"
"That's Jiangnan!!" Zongze said seriously.
Chen Dong's expression changed.
"Don't worry, I'm not telling King Qi to give up Jiangnan, but Jiangnan is rich. The imperial court once needed half of the food and grass supplied by Jiangnan. Now neither side can defeat the other. Keeping anxious will only weaken the country, so I hope King Qi can be a middleman. , both sides sit down and talk," Zongze said seriously.
When Chen Dong heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Of course, now everyone is thinking about peace!!"
"Okay" Zongze nodded happily and said: "Since the King of Qi knows etiquette so well, then I, the privy envoy, will not be stingy. I will ask your Majesty to bring Dezhou and Binzhou in Hebei under the jurisdiction of the King of Qi, so that Hebei, Cangzhou and Cangzhou are the boundaries, so you guys are too lazy to send troops!!"
Chen Dong was stunned for a moment, then looked at that wise gaze, and after a slight silence, he suddenly smiled and said: "Master Zong is so generous, why not just give the Hejian Mansion to him?"
Zongze raised the corner of his mouth and said, "The imperial court gives it to you, but does King Qi dare to take it?" Taking over Hejian Mansion is tantamount to officially facing the two countries of Liao and Jin. Hejian Mansion is in the hands of the imperial court. King Qi can also use Daming Mansion to deal with it. , not being there means that King Qi has to bear everything by himself."
After Chen Dong heard this, he immediately said with a wry smile with admiration: "With the boss here, the imperial capital will be stable. You are right, your highness can't afford it now."
After the two looked at each other for a moment, they laughed.
