(Thank you: Bean paste buns with mung beans, I have thoughts about you, 0 is not in this mountain, 0 is a reward from Lao Song and other brothers next door.)

In fact, I am not afraid that they will come back to seize my position. Even if they come back alive, I will never let them succeed. They are losers, losers who ruined their ancestors. They have no face and no ability to compete with themselves.

.

What I am actually afraid of is Yue Fei. I am afraid that not many people understand this. In other words, what I am afraid of is the group of military generals headed by Yue Fei. They are the thorn in my heart. As Yue Fei fights, he has many subordinates.

He has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and is also called the "Yue family army". This is simply ridiculous. Those are the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, how could they become his Yue family's army? He is victorious in every battle, and his fame and reputation are better than those among the people.

Even louder, people mention his name with awe, and they don't respect him that much. This is an ominous and worrying sign. I am by no means paranoid. When Miao and Liu rebelled, I also

I never expected that Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan would dare to threaten him with troops and horses and force him to abdicate. But they did just that. From then on, I no longer had the slightest trust in these leading generals in my heart.

Yue Fei is too powerful and I can no longer control him, so he must die. Regardless of practical considerations or according to the ancestral precepts of Taizu of the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty cannot allow such a person to exist. Taizu established the country.

The rule is that military generals cannot be allowed to become powerful. This is definitely the most sage admonition. I killed Yue Fei to follow Taizu's instructions.

It is true that Yue Fei has made great contributions. Killing him by himself will indeed lose the support of the people. It is indeed difficult to find out the reasons for killing him. Fortunately, with Qin Hui here, everything will be easier to handle. This Qin Hui is really difficult to describe.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Prime Minister Qin has come to ask for an audience."

Talk about Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will arrive. Just as Zhao Gou was thinking of Qin Hui, his personal chamberlain Kuang Xun called out softly from the long window, interrupting Zhao Gou's thoughts.

Zhao Gou turned around and frowned: "What is he doing here at this time?"

Kuang Xun bowed and said, "I don't know whether the emperor will see you or not?"

Zhao Gou smiled and said: "How can there be no reason not to see the prime minister? Let him wait in Chunhui Pavilion. I will come right away."

Kuang Xun agreed and left. Zhao Gou turned around, took a look at the glorious scenery of that year under the sunset, calmed down his previous thoughts, and quickly walked down the terrace.

In Chunhui Pavilion, Qin Hui, the prime minister of the current dynasty, was sitting quietly on a stool and waiting. He was slightly fat and handsome. He had been in a high position for more than ten years and had an air of majesty about him. Although he was over sixty years old, his hair and beard were still the same.

Black, with sharp eyes and full of energy.

When Zhao Gou entered Chunhui Pavilion, Qin Hui was bringing the tea bowl to his mouth. When he saw Zhao Gou, Qin Hui quickly put down the tea bowl and knelt down and saluted: "I, Qin Hui, come to the official house!"

Zhao Gou waved his hand, sat behind the desk and asked with a smile: "Why are Qin Qing's family here at this time? Why do you want to see me at this time? It's better not to upset me."

Qin Hui smacked his lips and said, "Your Majesty, if you don't want to be upset, there's no need to be afraid. People are coming from the north, and I just met them."

Zhao Gou was stunned and frowned: "The Jin envoy has arrived? So soon? Didn't you say that he just set off a few days ago? He came so quickly."

Qin Hui said: "Yes, it is indeed a bit sudden. Since Wan Yanliang came to the throne, everything has been turbulent."

Zhao Gou nodded and said in a deep voice: "What did the envoy say? Another thing about increasing the annual coins and silk? Wan Yanliang has indeed been a bit shameless since he came to the throne. The Shaoxing Peace Agreement was signed by both parties and must be followed.

How could he be free?

Making additional demands? Jin people have no faith."

Qin Hui said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this meeting is not about the increase in annual silk coins, but about the Jin Kingdom moving its capital."

Zhao Gou frowned and said: "The Jin Kingdom moved its capital? Where?"

Qin Hui said in a deep voice: "The Jin envoy came to inform that Wan Yanliang wanted to move the capital from Huining Mansion in Shangjing to Yanjing Mansion, and change Yanjing to Daxing Mansion in Zhongdu. He has already started to build palaces and expand the city in Yanjing Mansion.

Prepare to dig the river channel."

Zhao Gou remained silent. Yanjing is Youzhou, the center of the Sixteenth State of Youyun, and the heart of the Song Dynasty. Since the founding of the country, there has been a day when he has not thought about regaining it, but now it is going to become the capital of the Jin people. Wan Yanliang

Moving the capital to Yanjing meant moving the capital of the Jin people nearly a thousand miles south. In the past, this would have been unimaginable because it was a border land and no one would put the capital on the border. He did this precisely because of the Song Dynasty

Half of the country became the land of the Jin people, and Youzhou was actually their hinterland, and there were no longer any worries about borders.

"But their purpose of moving the capital...is to control the occupied Central Plains land? Are there any other bad intentions?" Zhao Gou asked thoughtfully.

Qin Hui knew what the emperor's words meant. The emperor was worried that the Jin people would move the capital south, which was for military purposes. It would facilitate the battle and enable faster transmission of news and the mobilization of command troops. Beijing was nearly a thousand miles away from the Central Plains, and during military operations

The Jin court could not quickly command and dispatch troops. Did the Jin people have any intention to move the capital to Yanjing? Qin Hui privately believed that there was definitely such a consideration, but he could not say it out loud.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Wanyan Liang moved the capital for the sake of the stability of his throne. Your Majesty should know that Wanyan Liang's accession to the throne was not legitimate. He usurped the throne by regicide, and he was arrogant, cruel, lewd and ruthless, so Jin

The subjects of the country will hate him to the core. In Shangjing, where the nobles of the Jin Kingdom gather, these people have deep-rooted connections with each other and have close relationships. Once these people unite, they will be able to control the place in Shangjing and oust Wan Yanliang from the throne. Complete

By moving the capital to Yanjing, Yan Liang can cut off the foundation of the noble chiefs of the Jin Kingdom and better consolidate their power. The old minister thought that this was his real idea. As for whether he had other intentions, the old minister did not dare

Assertion, but the veteran believes that what the veteran said above is its main purpose."

Zhao Gou nodded slightly. He thought Qin Hui's analysis was reasonable. The royal family had secrets. Emperor Taizu wanted to move the capital to Luoyang back then. Emperor Taizu suddenly died, and what happened that night with the sound of candles and axes?

No one knows. But one thing is certain. Just before that, Emperor Taizu went to Luoyang to inspect the city in person and had already decided to make preparations to move the capital. He must have felt that Bianliang was beyond his control. After Emperor Taizong

Zhao Defang, the son of Emperor Taizu, entered the palace before him and ascended the throne. No one from above or below raised any objections. Apparently, the entire Bianliang was actually under the control of Emperor Taizong, so no one came out to oppose him.

Although these things were not widely publicized and no one dared to talk about them, there were rumors circulating within the royal family that restored the situation at that time. It was said that Emperor Taizu felt threatened, so he made the decision to move the capital. Wan Yanliang

The actions, to a certain extent, have similar purposes.

"Then what does the Jin people have to do with the Song Dynasty when they move the capital? What's the point of sending an envoy here?" Zhao Gou said.

Qin Hui looked at Zhao Gou silently, and said slowly for a long time: "Your Majesty... I, the Song Dynasty... have an alliance with the Kingdom of Jin. I, the Song Dynasty... are nominally... a vassal of the Kingdom of Jin...

.”

Zhao Gou's body was shaken, his face slowly turned pale, his straight waist slowly stooped, and his whole body was deflated like a rubber ball.

"The peace agreement stipulates that whenever there is an important event in the Jin Kingdom, we, the Song Dynasty, will congratulate and give gifts. Moving the capital is a major event in the Jin Kingdom, which costs a lot of money. Wanyan Liang sent an envoy here to ask for... some financial aid from us.

, help them complete the matter of moving the capital." Qin Hui continued.

"How unreasonable! How unreasonable! The peace agreement stipulates that our Song Dynasty will give them 250,000 silver and silk each year, and we will only give gifts on festivals or the birthdays of the donors. The Jin people also want to ask us for money when they move the capital? Bastard, simply bastard."

Zhao Gou became furious and kicked over the desk, scattering the memorials on the desk all over the floor.

Qin Hui sat quietly, without any fear or horror, and his face was extremely calm.

"Why does the emperor need to be angry over such a small thing? Do you want to anger the Jin people over such a trivial matter and ruin the ten-year peace between the two countries? That would be more than worth the gain. The Jin people are just asking for money and things, so don't give them face.

Is that it? A little impatience will mess up the overall situation. Our Song Dynasty is now prosperous and is on the verge of a renaissance. When the time comes and the country is rich and the people are strong and the army and horses are strong, it will be shameful to have another blood. At this time, I have a falling out with them over this trivial matter.

Why bother?" Qin Hui said solemnly.

Zhao Gou gasped and sat down slowly, gritting his teeth and said: "This is not an obligation stipulated in the peace agreement. Giving them money and materials is unreasonable. The whole court will discuss it one after another and be filled with righteous indignation. Those who want to fight will make a big deal out of this matter."

Articles, fueling the flames. It’s not like you don’t know what those people are thinking? I don’t want to arouse public anger, which will bring a lot of trouble. I don’t want to cause uproar, I just want to live a clean life, do you understand?”

Of course Qin Hui understood that although at this moment, the imperial court was under his control, there was an undercurrent surging secretly, and the people's hearts were not stable. Yue Fei had been dead for ten years, and there were many people who complained about him and scolded him behind his back. Part 1

People from top to bottom are thinking about fighting back to the north and regaining Bianliang. As long as there is a little spark, these emotions will explode. The Shaoxing peace negotiation is already humiliating. If there are other humiliating behaviors besides the peace negotiation,

Then those people will incite public indignation and bring up the Northern Expedition in the name of the Jin people breaking the treaty. Although they can use suppression methods to quell it, that is by no means the best method. They have already suffered too much infamy, and in the end these accounts will

Putting it all on yourself is definitely not what you want to see.

"Your Majesty, I know the consequences of this matter, so I discussed it with Tang Situi and the others and felt that it is better to handle this matter in a low-key manner and not to make it public." Qin Hui said, stroking his beard.

"Tell me, what are you going to do?" Zhao Gou asked.

"This is what I think. If you give money directly, I'm afraid it will arouse dissatisfaction. You can't give money, but you can give some materials. Isn't Wan Yanliang going to build a palace in Yanjing? We can give some wood and stone for construction.

Give him the materials, which can be regarded as support for him, and it is more necessary and will not easily attract criticism. The imperial court spent money to purchase these wood and stone materials in the name of expanding Lin'an Bank, and there was no criticism in the imperial court.

The materials can be transported by waterway. The waterway is busy and will not attract attention. As for how much to give them, the Jin people said it would cost two million taels of silver, which was impossible. The old minister calculated and gave them fifty pieces of wood.

The stone material will cost about three to five million taels of silver. The Jin people are also open-mouthed, and I believe they will not insist on the rude request. The old minister will make it clear to them that this is not an obligation under the terms of the peace agreement.

, it’s just that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty donated it out of friendship for the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom. If they go too far, they will get nothing. In this way, there is an explanation both internally and externally. I don’t know what the emperor thinks of the old minister’s treatment.
