Chen Yizhong also had difficulty in saying about Liu Mengyan's suspicion. After he fled for many years, he thought that it would be not difficult to overthrow the little emperor as long as he worked hard. However, during his operation, he found that the world had changed and was no longer the Song Dynasty he knew at the beginning. In his impression, the Song court after he moved south was just a dynasty that lived in Jiangnan, who was in peace, did not want to make progress, and even bowed to seek peace.

The only northern expeditions since Emperor Gaozong were mostly "image projects" for gaining political capital. They were not prepared enough and lacked generals, which eventually led to defeat and were even more afraid of Jin. The powerful minister and relative Han Tuozhou presided over the Northern Expedition. The failure of the Jin people, the Jin people, asked for his head, and the Song people actually assassinated him and offered his head to the Jin Kingdom. Such dirty and despicable things can be done, which shows the weakness and decay of the court. Fortunately, the Jin Kingdom was also declining at that time, and civil strife continued to stop, and there were Mongolian cavalry in the north. Otherwise, the Southern Song Dynasty might have encountered the "Jingkang Shame" again.

As time goes by, the hatred of family and country gradually faded, and the desire to regain lost land became weaker. The Song monarchs and ministers who moved south to Lin'an had mistakenly regarded Hangzhou as Bianzhou. In fact, the same was true. Those who insisted on the Northern Expedition were gradually discriminated against and despised, and were even expelled from the court. The government and the country had formed such a mentality: Why do you need to fight the Northern Expedition? Why do you need to fight? Isn't this good now? You think all day long to fight back to your hometown, but why do you want to bring us? Under Gou'an's thoughts, it was difficult to resist the Mongols, and eventually even lost Jiangnan.

It was under the inheritance of this idea that Chen Yizhong thought that the idea of ​​"anti-war and vow" in Jiangnan, which had been ravaged by the Mongols, should be stronger. As long as he raised his arms and called out, the knowledgeable people in the court and the country would rise up and follow him. And Empress Dowager Yang would re-activate him, accept his advice, and pull the warlike little emperor off the horse, but after running around and calling out, he soon found that the situation had changed.

First of all, there was no incident of followers. Under the court's strict policy of suppressing traitors and traitors, Chen Yizhong found that not only did his former colleagues stay away from him, but also advised him to live in seclusion in the countryside and not participate in the government affairs again. Some avoided him, drew a clear line with him, and regarded him as a passerby to avoid disaster. Some even criticized him for his actions of betraying the emperor, which scared him so much that he did not dare to say too much and said farewell in a hurry, worried that he would be sent to the government by them.

Secondly, it is difficult to find like-minded people in the officialdom. Chen Yizhong also tried to use the power of the people, but things were still not optimistic, but he still gained something. Some people were finally gathered under his command, but most of them were bankrupt fugitives, worried about being pursued, and old officials and scholars who had served as fake positions. To be honest, he was deeply disgusted with these. He defected to himself just to seek asylum and escape the government's accountability. Or he wanted to find a way to prosper, but he was simply speculators, and good people were disdainful to join them.

Finally, after taking on current high-ranking officials of the court, such as Yao Liangchen and Wei Tianzhong, Chen Yizhong also felt that these people chose to cooperate with him because they were dissatisfied with the little emperor with private reasons. However, they were also "cowardly and afraid of death". They did not dare to challenge the authority of the little emperor and could not affect the direction of the court and the people. They could only act as counselors and eyes, and the other role was to strengthen their momentum.

Chen Yizhong also quickly realized that it was difficult for them to achieve what they wished by just the "just" people, but foreign aid could achieve it. But today, only the enemies of the Song Dynasty could be fought against him, so he thought of Liu Mengyan who had resumed contact with him. But after a meeting today, after a conversation, he also found that Liu Mengyan was too cunning, lacked the sincerity of cooperation, and the conditions offered were too high. Not to mention the little emperor, it was difficult for him to accept it, because he didn't want to be infatuated for thousands of years...

"At present, we are building momentum in many ways, and we want to write to the Empress Dowager first, beg the Empress Dowager to follow the public's opinion to establish the Prince of Yiyang as the heir, and then choose the wise man as the emperor!" Chen Yizhong thought for a moment and replied, "In addition, the government and the opposition are advocating the resumption of peace with the Yuan Dynasty, and follow the example of Emperor Zhenzong to protect the stability of Jiangnan and avoid war. Once the little emperor refuses the peace agreement, we can write a letter to depose the little emperor again."

"What Quan said is reasonable, but how can I stop Wen Lushan's position?" Liu Mengyan was secretly amused. When he was on a mission to Qiongzhou, the young emperor was only a few years old and Empress Dowager Yang did not care about anything. After more than ten years of management, the court had been like an iron bucket. Even if Empress Dowager Yang intentionally replaced the young emperor, it would be difficult to achieve it. The public opinion is just a fig leaf. Anyone can take it over and use it. Is it useless? It is more reliable to see through and not say it out loud. It is better to mess with Wen Tianxiang. It is beneficial to them to make trouble for him. He turned to ask.

"Wen Lu is good at controlling subordinates without strict discipline, and letting Qin Linfeng and others be corrupt and abuse the law is one of them; commanding the war is unfavorable, and the loss of soldiers and generals cannot share the worries of Your Majesty, which leads to the emperor's personal expedition and illness. This is the second thing; he is cruel by nature, appointing cruel officials and harming innocent people, causing complaints from the public, and the third thing is this..." Wei Tianzhong pointed out one by one, and there were more than a dozen, and then wiped the spit on the corner of his mouth and said, "Now we have contacted more than a dozen colleagues, and more than a hundred gentry in the village, and are ready to impeach him, not afraid of rescinding him. Then he recommended Chen Xiang out of the mountain and served as Pingzhang's military and state affairs to preside over the government. What will happen then!"

"As far as I know, Wen Lushan is stubborn by nature, but is upright and diligent in doing things. Even Kublai Khan admires him very much. If he had not escaped from Yashan, he would have been valued, and he was afraid that his achievements would still be above me." Liu Mengyan frowned after hearing this, "After entering the court, he was in line with the little emperor and ministers, and was deeply trusted. I am afraid that these things would not be enough to bring them down?"

Liu Mengyan still had some understanding of Wen Tianxiang. He was loyal to the Song Dynasty, and he was never afraid of difficulties in his work, and was fair and honest in his work. He was a rare minister of the country. And the things they wanted to impeach were mostly false. If the little emperor sincerely wanted to get rid of him, he could take advantage of the situation. But now the little emperor regarded him as his right-hand man, and some things must be done by orders and would definitely protect him. How could he succeed?

However, Liu Mengyan also felt from it that Chen Yizhong's influence in the court and the opposition was no longer the same. Although Yao Liangchen and Wei Tianzhong were in high positions, they were not trusted officials. It is not certain that they will find it difficult to accomplish things at the moment, but it is also very difficult. Therefore, they will take the lead in this line and attract foreign aid and need their own assistance to succeed. It is the one who takes the initiative in this way.

"It is precisely because of the difficulty that Han Gong needs help. At this time, Wen Lushan is in power. If he refuses to discuss peace, he is afraid that it will be difficult to explain when he goes back. Only by joining hands with each other and pushing Wen Tianxiang down first can everything be possible." Chen Yizhong is not a Shange, and he has already heard the intention of waiting for a price from his words. If he wants to take the opportunity to blackmail, he simply told him bluntly.

"Yi Quan said it well. Even if Wen Lushan presided over the peace talks, it would still be difficult to fulfill the wishes of Empress Dowager Nanbi. However, it would be better to bring him down. It would be better to first promote peace talks with Quan and then make a decision?" Liu Mengyan also knew that it was time for each other to showdown, and whether Song Ting could accept peace talks was the biggest difficulty at present. As for what he had done, it was the issue between Sang Ge and Yuan Ting, it was not something he could control, so he first proposed his own conditions.

"Oh, if the Yuan army had not entered Taixing early, let us operate for a few more days, the peace talks would have been completed." Yao Liangchen sighed and complained.

"This is not my reason? It is because of you who asked to advance to Taixing and cross the river, causing panic in the south of the Yangtze River and causing peace talks." Liu Mengyan said with anger, "But the little emperor sent troops to Taixing, you did not reveal any news, resulting in the loss of tens of thousands of soldiers. If Brother Sang was not in front of me, I would have been taken to Dadu for guilt!"

"This..." Yao Liangchen was confused when he heard this. Seeing that Wei Tianzhong was not sure why, he opened his mouth and didn't know how to answer for a long time.

"I made an appointment with Han, and I haven't told you about this matter." At this time, Chen Yizhong took over the conversation, "At that time, we were debating peace talks in various tabloids, and the government and the public were also talking. I thought that the crisis of troops coming to the city would lead to this matter. Unexpectedly, the young emperor quietly dispatched troops across the river to attack Taixing, but they were powerless and defeated in one battle. Then, the small newspapers in Beijing reported victory, but no one mentioned the peace talks. Instead, they wanted to counterattack Jiangnan and recover the Central Plains. This matter was because I was too impatient and backfired."

"Being smart and being smart is not only ruined by the good situation, but also almost killed my life!" Liu Mengyan slapped the table with his palm and shouted hatred and angry, which made Chen Yizhong quite embarrassed. After all, this matter was his own too reckless. "Don't you know what it is about using troops to Jiangbei? Why don't you announce it!"

"Your Majesty Liu, the use of troops to Taixing this time was all planned by the little emperor secretly and ordered the Privy Council directly. It was not discussed by the church. We did not get any information." Yao Liangchen quickly helped up the wine glass that was shocked and poured the wine again and said with a smile. He felt very uncomfortable. Chen Yizhong did not reveal any of this major matter to him. It was obvious that he did not trust him. He was still at the moment of using people. If the matter was done, wouldn't he leave himself aside. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel disappointed.

"If even Zhide and Guozuo don't know about this, then it is very likely that the little emperor is alert. You must be careful." Liu Mengyan was a cunning man after all, and he turned the situation around while laughing and scolding, and took the initiative. However, after hearing this, he felt that the matter was strange and reminded him.

"How is that possible? If he knew where I was, he would have sent troops to come long ago!" Chen Yizhong waved his hand and smiled.

"I suspect that he was fishing big fish with a long line, otherwise things would not be so coincidental. When you just created public opinion and were in a passive position, he sent troops to Jiangbei without any signs, and then promoted the victory, and immediately reversed the situation." Liu Mengyan drank all the wine and analyzed, "In addition, I have always been uneasy. The small and medium-sized newspapers in Beijing slandered the prince of Yiyang and destroyed his reputation. How could he be the heir? Obviously, someone planned this matter later."

"Maybe this happened?" Chen Yizhong shook his head and said, "We have always been careful in our work and are outside the city. How could we be discovered?"

"It is better to be careful with Quan. Once it is a coincidence, but it is not a coincidence twice, but someone is planning!" Liu Mengyan said. He was telling the truth at this moment, because he fell, his affairs would be ruined.

"Mr. Chen, it's right for the minister to leave." Yao Liangchen said, "When the young emperor first established the General's Mansion, his subordinates Zhao Mengjin, Liu Zhu and others now hold important positions, but only Zheng Huchen has never appeared in the court. He only held a deputy position in the Imperial City Affairs Bureau, but he is hard to see him in the palace."

"What the master of the country said is right. It is rumored that the young emperor has a team of secret spies under his command, which is led by Zheng Huchen. They are all over the court and the country. From the prime minister to the peddlers and pawns, they know everything about every move. The people they are targeting cannot escape the pursuit." Wei Tianzhong also added.

"So he is still alive!" Chen Yizhong suddenly frowned when he heard this. Zheng Huchen escorted Jia Sidao to kill him and the other party. He ordered a wanted notice. At that time, the officials reported that he was also appointed as the leader. At this time, the Yuan army had already broken through the Yangtze River, so he did not ask about it. Unexpectedly, this enemy was still alive, and he would definitely let him go.

"No, I have a grudge against him to break his family. He will definitely not miss such a good opportunity to take revenge. If he finds out that he will be even more angry with you, the matter will be even more complicated. It is better to meet less in the future. You'd better change the place as soon as possible!" Liu Mengyan had participated in the case of his father, exiled them and exiled them to the army. At present, he must have learned the news of his arrival in An An, and he will definitely monitor his every move and try to grab his braid, and it is definitely no longer safe here.

"Han's advice is reasonable." Chen Yizhong had to pay attention to it after hearing this. Seeing Yao Liangchen and his two faces were worried and silent, he said, "But I want to promote peace talks, and I have to agree to our conditions!"

"Okay, you can get the right to the right." Liu Mengyan sat upright and said.

"One, if you propose peace talks to the court, you must not be a peace talks; second, let me participate in peace talks; third, the current conditions remain unchanged, but after I participate, the conditions must be appropriately lowered to reach a peace talk." Chen Yi said in the middle.

"Haha, you must be clear about the current situation. Will Yu Quan think the little emperor would agree?" Liu Mengyan felt that Chen Yizhong was a fool. No matter how stupid the little emperor was, he would not agree to these conditions. Moreover, he was already fish on the chopping board. It can be said that he did not even have the qualification to bargain with the little emperor. I don't know what he thought, but he actually put forward such conditions and couldn't help but feel funny.

"I have my own way to get the little emperor to agree. Han Guojing doesn't have to worry too much, just do as you do after the peace talks begin." Chen Yizhong also smiled.
Chapter completed!
