Chapter 1091 Congratulations, you got it right! (Seeking a monthly ticket)
Luoyang, Xijing.
A few days ago, the military order suddenly dropped, ordering Fengxiang's army not to act rashly. This made Zhong Shidao, who was ready to go, very surprised. Seeing that the enemy was almost at the end of his battle, why did he give up such a good opportunity in vain?
No one in the Zhong family army understood Song Huizong's intentions, nor did they know what the situation was like in the capital. They were very anxious. If the enemy escaped, it would be really inappropriate.
But the military order has been issued, no matter how unwilling you are, you can only act in a hurry, and the two brothers, Master Zhong, stayed up all night in hesitation.
But within two days, Zhongshidao received a secret letter from Kaifeng.
It's okay if you don't look at it. At first glance, Master Zhong Daoqi's beard has almost turned black. The letter tells Master Zhong that Li Qi has resigned and no longer has military power. Moreover, the emperor personally ordered that no one is allowed to leave the city to fight.
, everything was based on seeking peace. Not only that, the imperial court also planned to cede the three towns of Taiyuan, Hejian, and Zhongshan to the Jin Kingdom.
"How can this be true? How can it be true?"
Master Zhong was sitting on a chair, banging the table and roaring!
Although he has never experienced anything at his age, this incident really made him extremely angry. In the past, when negotiating with Liao and Jin, he almost always negotiated after losing.
Although the result always makes people feel frustrated, at any rate, they have lost the battle. You did ask for help, but this time, you have obviously gained a huge advantage, but at this most critical moment,
If you come here like this, even a fool would not play like this!
The enemy led thousands of troops to your house and slapped you in the face. Not only did you not fight back, but you also sent your face out to be beaten, and you also compensated the other party for the loss, and even gave up your living room to the other party. This matter
How could this be done?
After seeing it, Mr. Zhong was also speechless. The pain was like a knife cutting through his heart.
A young general of the Zhong family couldn't help it anymore and stood up and said: "General, why should we sacrifice our lives to such a corrupt court? Even if we are all killed by the Jin people, the court will probably not react in any way.
, those ministers only care about their own power and position, and have no idea whether our generals are dead or alive."
Other soldiers also accused the imperial court of appointing treacherous ministers and harming loyal officials.
If this were the case in the past, Zhongshi Dao would definitely deal with them in a military way. The Zhong family is a martyr. How could you curse the court like this? But at this time, he did not stop him. Perhaps these words could make him feel better.
.
The same is true among the sowing masters. After a while, he said: "That's enough, that's enough. Don't say anything anymore. You go down and wait."
When the generals saw that Mr. Zhong had spoken, they did not dare to jump anymore. They clasped their fists and walked out. But their faces were full of anger.
What this did was simply incomprehensible.
The cultivator asked the cultivator, "Brother, what should we do now?"
There were tears in Zhong Shidao's eyes. They say that a real man won't shed tears easily, but that's just before he gets sad. He sighed: "Under the imperial edict, what else can we do? I only have one wish now, which is to use this residual candle to
I will fight and die on this land, that way, I will never have to hear such annoying things again."
Even though he made an old general angry like this, Song Huizong was still quite capable. Even Li Qi, who was very eloquent, thought he couldn't do this.
Seeing that his eldest brother was so sad, he felt very good. He complained slightly: "In the Song Dynasty, we have always used civility to control military affairs. This is fine, but those civil servants have always been seeking peace. I think the alliance between Chanyuan , is it not the case, but the Jin Kingdom is more greedy and powerful than the Liao Kingdom. Their intention to attack is already obvious, that is to defeat the Song Dynasty in one fell swoop. Although the attack failed this time, I believe they will soon. Come back, Taiyuan, Hejian, and Zhongshan are the northern barriers of our Song Dynasty. If they are ceded to the Jin Kingdom, then not only Kaifeng, but also the northwest will not be able to defend it, and our old family will also fall into the hands of the enemy. "
Zhong Shidao sighed heavily, and instantly became much older, and said: "How could I not know this, but the emperor's orders cannot be violated, we can only do our duty as ministers."
The seed master looked a little hesitant and suddenly said: "Brother, if I say something wrong, just pretend you haven't heard it."
Master Zhong said: "Let's talk. We are just brothers here, there is nothing we can't say."
The seed master hesitated for a moment and asked: "Brother, I heard that His Highness the Third Highness was once your student. How is he?"
Master Zhong was stunned and said: "To be honest, I didn't like this Third Highness at first because he was too conceited and had a close relationship with Wang Fu. But later, he seemed to have changed a lot, and you should too I heard that in this battle to defend Kaifeng, he did a lot of things, which are worthy of praise."
Master Zhong said: "What a pity - he is not the emperor."
Master Zhong frowned and said, "What do you mean by this?"
Zhongshi Zhongdao said: "It is no longer unusual for the emperor today to appoint treacherous ministers. If this were a peaceful and prosperous time, we ministers could only give advice and fulfill our duties as ministers. What will be the result? That only I can resign myself to fate, but now a powerful enemy is invading, and the Jin Kingdom is fully capable of destroying our Song Dynasty in one fell swoop. If we still stick to the old rules and don't ask for changes, our Song Dynasty will definitely perish. Therefore, I think it is time to establish another Ming Dynasty. It's time. Although our Zhong family does not have much influence in the court, no one dares to ignore us. If we and the Zhe family army are on the side of His Highness, it is not impossible at this time when war is raging. "
Master Zhong frowned deeply and was silent.
Seeing among the masters, the eldest brother seemed a little reluctant and continued to strike while the iron was hot: "Brother, looking at the whole incident, Li Qi seems to have intended to push His Highness to sit on this seat. Think about it, if it weren't for Li Qi, the Third Prince would It is impossible for His Highness to take the position of regent now."
Zhongshidao raised his eyebrows and said: "Yes! Take the letter sent by this guy. Although he didn't say it clearly, his dissatisfaction with the imperial court and the current Holy Emperor was revealed in every word. Could he? Is he deliberately trying to win over us? It must be like this. This guy is really cunning. He knows that I am a martyr. Therefore, he never dares to say it openly. He can only arouse the anger in our hearts first and make us feel dissatisfied with our current saint. , then if he uses some tricks, we may really get into it."
Zhongshi nodded and said: "Although he no longer has military power in his hands, the Forbidden Army may be all his people. If he wants to push His Highness to the throne, then the person he is most afraid of is probably our Zhong family. The army and the family army were destroyed. Without our help, his plan would not have succeeded. But brother, I very much agree with his approach. Now that the emperor does not have the ability to lead the Song Dynasty to drive away foreign enemies and restore our mountains and rivers, then We should abdicate the throne and give way to worthy people. For example, the Liao Kingdom died at the hands of Emperor Tian Zuo, but he was not the only one to suffer, but thousands of Liao people. If we don't make changes, tens of millions of people in the Song Dynasty may suffer. You will follow in the footsteps of the Liao people!"
Zhong Shidao snorted: "This kid is really hateful. He clearly knows that I am about to be buried, and yet he wrote such a letter to anger me. He is just trying to make me lose my life in the future!"
Master Zhong said: "Brother, what do you mean?"
Zhong Shidao pondered for a moment and sighed: "As the saying goes, if the king wants his minister to die, he will have to die. Our Zhong family is a loyal family. The emperor and the late emperor have been very kind to our Zhong family, how can we do this, and now
The situation is so complicated that if there is even the slightest deviation, our family will definitely be reviled by the world. How will we face our ancestors after we die?"
Master Zhong said: "But Li Qi's side has an arrow on the string and has to be fired. Then we may meet them in full force."
Zhong Shidao seemed to be hesitant again, and waved his hand and said: "This matter is of great importance, let me think about it carefully. Based on my understanding of that kid, if we don't expressly express our help, then he will definitely not dare to mess around.
He will definitely send a confidential letter by then, so let's just wait and see what happens."
...
At the same time that Zhong Shidao received the letter, Zhe Kecun, who was far away in Fuzhou, also received a letter from Li Qi. He was jumping up and down with anger. The whole Zhe family army also cursed the imperial court for appointing treacherous ministers. How could such a good opportunity be used?
You missed it in vain. If Kaifeng can win a big victory, then the siege of Taiyuan will be broken without any attack.
This move by Song Huizong could be regarded as chilling the two most capable armies of the Northern Song Dynasty.
This ability to attract hatred is really high!
.......
Kaifeng Mansion.
Although Li Qi did not succeed, the people were very indignant at Zhang Bangchang and others' humiliation in suing for peace, but indignation could not change anything. The people gradually lost confidence in this court.
Master Li's attic.
Zhao Kai chuckled and said, "They really don't have long memories. Back then, even Wang Fu and Cai You couldn't fight you, but they still wanted to hit you. Now it's better. People now call them traitors."
Li Qi smiled and said nothing.
Zhao Kai sighed again and said: "However, Wanyan Zongwang is really cautious. Now that you have lost military power and are no longer the prefect of Kaifeng, he is still worried. Now that you have not gone, I am afraid that he will not retreat easily.
Already."
Li Qidao: "Then let's drag it on. Anyway, the further we drag it, the worse it will be for them. We don't need to care about it for a day or two."
Zhao Kai said: "Having said that, the negotiations have reached a deadlock now. Wanyan Zongwang is obviously wary of you. In this way, even if the Jin army retreats in the future, they will definitely be cautious. If they go all the way to the northwest
Go ahead and fight the Western Army, we may have to pay a heavy price."
Li Qi rubbed his face. Of course he had thought of this, but if Wanyan Zongwang rushed like this, his losses would definitely be quite big. This should be his last way. He said depressedly: "Actually, I didn't think of it.
Yan Zongwang would be so afraid of me, but what I can't figure out even more is that they are obviously at the end of their rope, and I definitely can't be a hostage. At this time, I should just accept it when it's easy, so how can I deliberately embarrass Zhang Bangchang and the others?
, there must be something behind this that we don’t know about.”
Zhao Kai hummed, looked at Li Qi with a hint of worry, and said, "You must be careful at all times recently!"
Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "You don't think he will send someone to assassinate me, do you?"
Zhao Kai said: "Hasn't he been sent before?"
"But it has failed, and the capital is safer now than before. He shouldn't be stupid enough to do such boring things." Li Qi shook his head.
Zhao Kai said worriedly: "No matter what, it's better to be careful. You'd better take more people with you when you go out."
Li Qi hummed, but he didn't think so in his heart.
Boom, boom, boom!
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Ma Qiao said: "Commander Bu, a secret letter."
When Li Qi heard the "secret letter", he was slightly startled and thought to himself, why did I forget her? He quickly opened the door and said, "Bring it quickly."
Ma Qiao quickly delivered the letter.
When Li Qi opened the secret letter and took a look, he was immediately stunned.
Zhao Kai asked curiously: "What happened?"
Li Qi sighed and said depressedly: "Congratulations, you guessed it right!"
