Zhao Fan's aura was very strong, and he looked at Zhao Tai and pressed him one after another.
Zhao Tai was neither humble nor arrogant. He suddenly bowed his head and said, "I have no choice but to report back to my husband and join the Jin Camp. Although I am in the Jin Camp, I still have the Song Dynasty in my heart!"
Zhao Fan snorted coldly, "Since you cherish the Song Dynasty, have you ever remembered the shame of Jingkang?"
Zhao Tai turned his back, raised his head forty-five degrees, and said impassionedly: "The shame of Jingkang has not yet been resolved. The hatred of the ministers, when will it be eradicated! How can I forget this shame?"
Zhao Fan's expression softened a little when he saw this, "If that's the case, why do you act as a lobbyist for the Jin people? To prevent the imperial court from destroying the Jin people!"
Facing Zhao Fan's pressing step by step, Zhao Tai did not panic. He turned around with a heavy expression on his face, "Reporting to Mr. Jing, it is precisely because I remember Jingkang's shame in my heart that I helped the Jin people and prevented the Song Dynasty from joining forces with him." Mongolia unites!”
After hearing Zhao Tai's words, Zhao Fan exhaled and was silent for a moment, "Guorui, right? Sit down!"
Zhao Fan raised his hand slightly, pointed to the chair, and motioned for Zhao Tai to sit down, and he returned to the desk.
After the two of them sat down, Zhao Fan put away his stern look and said, "It seems I didn't misjudge you! I summoned you today, so you must have guessed my intention!"
Zhao Taidao: "If my guess is correct, my husband is also worried that joining forces with Mongolia to destroy the Jin Dynasty will cause the Song Dynasty to repeat the same mistakes!"
Zhao Fan nodded in approval and did not hide anything, "Yes, the imperial court's armaments are lax. With the Jin Kingdom here, it can still hold up the front. If the Jin Kingdom is destroyed, then the imperial court must face Mongolia alone. I want to destroy the Jin Kingdom. To avenge a century-old national humiliation, but now is not the time."
Zhao Tai was secretly happy that he had really met a noble person.
He had a dark eye on the situation in the Southern Song Dynasty. He only knew that the current emperor was Song Lizong, the Southern Song emperor whose skull was made into a wine cup after his death, and some historical celebrities. As for the situation of the Southern Song Dynasty, he had no idea at all.
Now that Zhao Fan, a senior member of the Song Dynasty, has given him some advice, he can at least have a direction in sending gifts and lobbying, and will not go to the homes of those ministers who support the alliance with Mongolia to eliminate money.
Zhao Tai couldn't help but salute, "My husband is really a mature man who seeks the country!"
Zhao Fan looked at Zhao Tai with admiration, "I know your deeds, you can be called a hero."
This time Mongolia attacked the Jin Dynasty, everyone in the Song Dynasty thought that the Jin Dynasty was doomed, but they didn't want to come up with Zhao Tai.
Now that the Mongols have withdrawn their troops, what happened in the Jin Kingdom has also been reported back through the details of the Song Kingdom.
Zhao Tai poisoned Tuo Lei, and hundreds of horses robbed the camp, which spread the alienation strategy to the Southern Song Dynasty.
Zhao Fan has been paying attention to the situation in the Kingdom of Jin. When he heard the news, he asked people to pay special attention to and investigate Zhao Tai.
Zhao Tai hurriedly said: "My husband is so complimentary."
Zhao Fan waved his hand, "Okay, let's not flatter each other! Since you care about the Song Dynasty, are you willing to do things for the Song Dynasty?"
Zhao Tai was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, "Mr. Sir, I am naturally willing to work for the Song Dynasty, but what I am doing now cannot escape for the time being! Moreover, I must complete my mission!"
Zhao Fandao: "It doesn't hinder me, and you don't need to leave the Kingdom of Jin. I want you to be the internal agent of the Song Dynasty in the Kingdom of Jin and deliver the news of the Kingdom of Jin to me!"
Zhao Tai understood that this was to make him a lurker.
Zhao Tai did not hesitate. He also hoped to get in touch with the Song Dynasty as soon as possible so that he could have a new backer after the Jin Kingdom was destroyed.
"In this humble position, I am willing to listen to your Majesty's orders!" Zhao Tai immediately stood up and saluted.
"Okay! Now you are not only the envoy of the Jin Kingdom, but also our internal correspondent of the Song Dynasty!" Zhao Fan smiled with satisfaction, waved for him to sit down, and then said in a deep voice: "Back to business. Now that the Mongols have gone to Lin'an, you What are you going to do?"
During the more than 100 years of the Southern Song Dynasty, there were only a handful of times when the main war faction was able to control the court, and the military officials were suppressed for a long time and lacked the right to speak.
Zhao Fan did not agree with the alliance with Mongolia to destroy the Jin Dynasty. When he saw the Mongolian delegation arriving, he felt a little anxious, so he called Zhao Tai over to ask, wanting to hear how the Jin Kingdom planned to persuade Song Ting to give up the alliance with Mongolia to destroy the Jin Dynasty.
His words immediately stopped Zhao Tai.
To be honest, he doesn't even know the direction now, so he has no place to use his energy.
Zhao Tai said in a deep voice: "I am dissatisfied with my husband. I now have a dark eye on the Song Dynasty Bureau. Even if I get to Lin'an, I don't know who can win over and who can lobby."
Zhao Fan stroked his beard and said in a deep voice: "Now the imperial court is controlled by the right prime minister Shi Miyuan. He has four trees and three evil men under his command. The "four trees" are Xue Ji, Hu Ju, Nie Zishu, and Zhao Rushu. Each of these four people One of his names has the word "木" in it, and he is also Shi Miyuan's best friend, so he is called "Four Woods". The "three evils" refer to Li Zhixiao, Liang Chengda, and Mo Ze. They control the government and exclude others. The dissidents want to consolidate their position by destroying the Jin and avenging their shame. Therefore, you have to represent the Jin Kingdom and persuade the court to join forces with the Jin to fight against the Mongols. They are the biggest obstacle."
Zhao Tai stayed in Manchun Courtyard for three days, and the news he heard was not as good as Zhao Fan's words.
The moment he opened his mouth, Zhao Tai knew who his opponent was.
Zhao Tai frowned and asked, "Are there any ministers in the DPRK who support the alliance against Mongolia?"
"Yes!" Zhao Fan said solemnly: "But there are very few. I am one of them, but I can't speak in the court. There are also Zhen Dexiu and Wei Liaoweng, but they were all squeezed out of the court by Shi Miyuan , it is placed outside and cannot affect the situation of the DPRK."
When Zhao Tai heard this, he knew that the situation was very serious. "Is it difficult for Lin'an to have a minister who can speak for the United Nations against Mongolia?"
Zhao Fan pondered and said: "There is one person, Zheng Qingzhi, who is the Councilor for Political Affairs and Tongzhi of the Privy Council. He has not clearly stated his position, but according to my observation, he should be inclined to join forces with the Jin Dynasty to fight against Mongolia."
Zhao Tai wrote down this name. When he arrived in Lin'an, he finally had someone he could visit.
After Zhao Fan finished speaking, he asked: "Judging from the news I have received, the Mongols should use the enmity between Song and Jin and the return of Henan as bait. What are you going to say?"
Zhao Taidao: "We can only lower our posture and ask for support from the Song Dynasty!"
Zhao Fan heard, "If this is the only way, it is estimated that it will be difficult to change the imperial court's strategy of uniting with Meng to destroy money. If you want to change, I think there are only two possibilities. The first is to persuade Shi Miyuan to change his mind, but this is difficult as Climb to the sky. The second step is to meet His Majesty and persuade Him to support the United Nations against Mongolia!"
Zhao Fan's words pointed out the direction for Zhao Tai. If he wanted the Southern Song Dynasty to change his mind, he had to change the minds of these two key figures.
Shi Miyuan controlled the court, and the emperor was the supreme ruler of the Song Dynasty. If the two of them said they wanted to resist the Mongols, they would resist the Mongols, and if they said they wanted to destroy the Jin, they would destroy the Jin.
Zhao Tai saluted gratefully, "Thank you for your advice, sir. It's just that the news from Lin'an about the release has never come..."
Zhao Fan said in a deep voice: "You don't need to wait for news from Lin'an, it must have been blocked by Shi Miyuan. You should pack up now, disguise yourself and go to Lin'an immediately, and go directly to Zheng Qingzhi."
