Peace negotiations are inevitably put on the issue.
Since the Song Dynasty, there have been too many things that have been defeated and almost impossible to calculate clearly. Zhao Huan did not want to fight any further, and he also believed that there was no need to fight any further. The most urgent task is to clean up the mess and restore the original situation as soon as possible. Moreover, the main battle faction is strong, and if it continues to fight, there may be a bad situation, which is also the result that Zhao Huan does not want to see.
The peace talks know this result, but even if Zhong Shidao and others are clear about it?
This is also a game, and a struggle between the peace talks and the pro-war factions will be held in this way.
Master Zhong knew very well that he had no choice!
After the end of the Kaifeng Battle, Zhao Huan summoned Zhong Shidao only twice, and each conversation was not detailed.
This is not the treatment a meritorious minister deserves.
Zhong Shidao understood that the reason why Zhao Huan was cold to him was that he was very good at the master, and the other was... Zhong Shidao deceived Zhao Huan several times in order to fight this battle, and even deliberately misinterpreted Zhao Huan's meaning, which made Zhao Huan very unhappy. This kind of behavior was said to be said to be no different from the behavior of powerful officials. Even if Zhong Shidao was out of good intentions, Zhao Huan could not stand such a thing.
Which emperor likes to be led by his subjects?
Not to mention that Zhao Huan was only twenty-six years old, and he was at a young and energetic time.
To be honest, Zhao Huan did not settle accounts, did not kill the donkey, and did not have trouble finding a teacher. He was already very kind and righteous.
In this case, Zhong Shidao also knew that he could stay in his seat less and less time.
While he can still preside over the court, Zhong Shidao naturally has to make his last effort.
He was not for himself, but for the country of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, after Zhao Huan proposed peace talks, Zhong Shidao continued to work hard for the candidates of the mission. He hoped that Li Gang would go to Beijing. Because he knew that with Li Gang's nature, it would be impossible to let the court suffer losses. It was even very likely that he would reverse the victory of diplomatic annual monies and compensation since the Song Dynasty.
And the peace talks will not give up this opportunity.
Leading by Zhang Bangchang, Qin Hui and Geng Nanzhong, the peace talks were very clear about Zhao Huan's thoughts.
Zhao Huan didn't want to fight again, and the officials' minds had shifted from the north to the Taishang Daojun in Jinling, the Emperor Huizong Zhao Ji.
Although Zhao Ji was suppressed in Jinling, he had sufficient connections after all, and gradually formed a force.
If the matter of the Supreme Taoist Lord Zhao Ji cannot be resolved as soon as possible, Zhao Huan will face an unstable situation of the throne. Therefore, he did not want to fight, nor would he fight, and even would rather pay compensation for annual tribute than end the war as soon as possible. Since Wang Boyan was ordered to be exiled to Leizhou, the peace talks have been a little unstable. Therefore, they should take this opportunity to regain Zhao Huan's trust and gain a foothold in the court.
Everyone was thinking about peace talks, so no one came to stop Zhao Huan's appointment as the doctor of the Ministry of War.
First, he was unintentional, and second, he didn't want to offend the prince Zhao Chen.
You should know that behind the crown prince Zhao Chen, there were also a group of people standing there, including Zhu Shengfei, the Yingtian Prefecture's reign, Zhu Guina, the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture. These people are also amazing in strength. At this time, obstructing Yu Yin to take the throne was equivalent to slapping the crown prince in the face. Who wouldn't know that although the crown prince is now confined, Chen Qiao's battle has accumulated a lot of reputation for him.
Moreover, the crown prince is Zhao Huan's only son, why bother to offend Yu Yin for a mere doctor in the Ministry of War?
On February 14, the first year of Jingkang, Zhao Huan ordered that the Yi Yong, who was rushing to Kaifeng, returned the same way and was not allowed to move forward.
On the fifteenth, after a fierce debate, the list of missions sent to Beijing was finally confirmed.
This time, in order to show the sincerity of the Song Dynasty court, King Kang Zhao Gou was the main envoy, Li Gang and Mei Zhili were the deputy envoys, and went to Shangjing to discuss peace.
This was also the final decision made by Zhao Huan when the two sides were arguing.
There was no objection to such a decision, whether it was the pro-war faction led by Zhong Shidao or the peace faction led by Geng Nanzhong and others.
But a discerning person can see that taking King Kang Zhao Gou as the main commander is enough to explain some problems...
You know, the friendship between Zhao Gou and Geng Nanzhong and others is indeed very good!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The turbulent storm in the court had no effect on Yu Yin.
He was like an outsider, watching the situation change coldly. Although he was willing to do his best, he didn't know how to intervene.
After lying in bed for twenty-six days, I finally got An Daoquan's permission to get out of bed and move.
However, he had recovered a little and became busy immediately.
First, the two brothers of Zhong Yansong came from Chang'an and reported to Yu Yin, and fulfilled the original promise of Zhong Shidao. The prince's personal army needed many talents to be reorganized. In the battle of Chen Qiao, Yu Yin's team was almost dead. Among the fifteen people who survived, there were only two grassroots officers Bi Jin and Yuan Chaonian. Fortunately, Wu Jie stayed in the prince's personal army, and minimized the impact of Dong Xian's death.
Then, Yao Pingzhong recommended another person to Yu Yin, who was Junrong's direct squad, named Yu Peng, who was both civil and military.
This person was originally under the Palace Front Office, but because of his upright nature, he offended Shangguan and became depressed and unsuccessful.
Gao Qiu has already removed from his post as the Grand Marshal of the Palace, but it is not difficult to draw a squad. Together with Feng Kuang, who had previously transferred the prince's personal army but had not followed the army to fight, Ling Wei and the other two, plus Bi Jin and Yuan Chaonian, the new team of the prince's personal army has begun to take shape. In addition, there are also the six brothers of the six sects of Zong'an, who escorted Zong Ze to Jinan and returned to Kaifeng after escorting Zong Ze to Jinan. After experiencing a great turmoil, Zhulu Mansion regained its vitality again.
"Xiao Yi, I'll introduce you to a hero."
On this day, Yu Yin was talking to Gao Chongyang Zaixing at home, and Zhu Meng said he was coming excitedly.
"This one is Shaoyang's life-savior Zhang Yan and Zhang Boyu."
Zhu Meng said that behind him was a young man who looked about twenty-four or twenty-five years old. Although he was not too tall and looked a little pretty, he exuded a heroic spirit.
"Boyu provided timely reinforcements in Baliwan, which saved Shaoyang's life.
Now the official family is about to disband Yi Yong, and Bo Yu doesn't want to go back like this. So he asked Shaoyang to take him in."
Although Yu Yin has been ordered to be a doctor in the Ministry of War, he has not yet taken office due to his health reasons.
Therefore, Zhu Meng said that he would call Yu Yin the outsider. After hearing this, Yu Yin stood up and bowed to thank Zhang Qi.
"Xiao Di once saw Chen Qiao's battlefield in person, and admired the official side even more.
This time Xiaodi came, and he spent all his family's wealth to recruit brave men. If he went back like this, he would really not be able to explain to his hometown elders.
When the official said that the prince wanted to reorganize the prince's personal army, Xiaodi pleaded with the prince's wife to ask the chief clerk Chen to talk about the matter and asked the official to take it in."
Severing the volunteers?
When Yu Yin heard this, he couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart.
Zhao Huan's actions would be suspected of killing the donkey. It would really make the hearts of the heroes cold.
Yu Yin had heard of Zhang Yan. This person was a wealthy family in Yanghu. He heard that Kaifeng was surrounded and he dispersed his family's wealth. He recruited more than a thousand warriors from Yanghu and joined the tent of the Henan Prefectural Prefect Zhai Xing to assist in the battle of Kaifeng. Zhang Yan was the first to take the lead.
He arrived at Mutuogang first, but failed to participate in the decisive battle and was immediately sent to Chenqiao by Zhong Shidao.
When passing Baliwan, he rescued Chen Dong and He Yuanqing from the Jurchens. According to He Yuanqing, Zhang Yu was skilled in swords and horses, brave enough to be unstoppable, and also knew the art of war. He was a rare talent. Yu Yin did not expect that such a person would actually join his disciples, so he was naturally happy.
He hurriedly took Zhang Yan's hand and said, "Bo Yu comes, the prince's personal army will surely regain its prestige one day earlier."
The reason why Zhang Yan came to join Yu Yin was a helpless move.
Although he made military achievements, he was not from the army, nor was he Zhai Xing's confidant. In the court, Zhang Qi had no backer, so it was very difficult to stay. As he said, he had already dispersed all his wealth in order to help Kaifeng. Even when he returned at this time, he had no place to live. He didn't know many people in Kaifeng. After all, he seemed to have only one way to go, so he found Yu Yin's home with shameless face.
Yu Yin knew something about the history of the Song Dynasty, but was not proficient.
At this moment, he had not realized that the young man standing in front of him was also a powerful general in the Southern Song Dynasty, and a powerful general under Yue Fei.
In the original history, two years later, the Jin soldiers marched south three times.
Zhang Qi led his troops to defend Mianchi, and relied on the Bailang natural danger to fight against the Jin soldiers, killing tens of thousands of Jin soldiers, known in history as the Battle of Komenshan.
After that, Zhang Yan was given the position of Wuyi Duke for his merits.
After the Battle of Bailang, Zhang Yan followed Dong Xian's army.
"History of the Song Dynasty? Loyalty and Righteousness? Biography of Zhang Xian" records that Zhang Qi fought against arrows and stones as the first in the army.
In the first year of Shaoxing, the Jin general Gao Qiong captured Shangzhou. Zhang Qi was ordered to lead the cavalry to attack and rush to the enemy. However, because the charge was too fierce, he was surrounded by hundreds of cavalry. However, Zhang Qi was not afraid at all, and attacked with a sharp blade. The Jin soldiers were invincible and dared not stop them.
Historical records: Nine battles and nine victories in one day, and the pursuit of Jin soldiers to the Sword Test Pass...
Although Yu Yin didn't know that Zhang Yan in front of him was such a powerful general, he knew Chen Dong's character. If Zhang Yan had no real ability, even if he had saved his life, Chen Dong would not recommend him easily. Now that Chen Dong has recommended it, it means that Zhang Yan has real talent and knowledge.
Zhulu Mansion has been reorganized now. What is Yu Yin’s most lacking?
Two words: Talent!
In the past, he did not have the capital and reputation to recruit, so he could only recruit some generals who were depressed and unsuccessful. Now, in the battle between Chen Qiao, Yu Yin has accumulated enough prestige. Zhang Qi took the initiative to invest, which was also a good start.
As soon as Zhang Yan sat down, Gao Chong couldn't help but say, "Brother, I remember something."
Yu Yin smiled and said, "What happened to Shisanlang?"
"Does my brother still remember the Di family father and son in Dima camp?"
Yu Yin was stunned and nodded, "That's my savior, how can I not remember?"
"Before, Dikdi had asked someone to go to Brother Yan's sect and said that he wanted his youngest son Di Lei to serve under his brother's sect.
I don't know how Di Ke is against his father and son, and he is a descendant of Di Qing. I don't know much about Di Lei's ability, but according to Brother Yan, he is also an amazing general. I originally planned to recommend this person to my brother when he is better. But now it seems that if I didn't say it earlier, I'm afraid I'll lose my seat by then... If Brother is interested in this person, I'll ask him to come and see him?"
