The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

After Han Li tried several times, he really couldn't find any flaws in this young man. After thinking about it, the only explanation was: he was fooled by the Song people again. This person was a fake, and he was definitely not a prince. He firmly asked for a return.

, change to the "true" prince to be hostage. So he used King Su Zhao Shu and Prince Consort Cao Sheng to exchange for Zhao Gou on February 5.

This is not a matter of blame. Han Li Bu Wu's low IQ. In fact, he is a famous smart person among the Jurchens. The fault is that he does not understand China's national conditions and imperial culture. It is precisely under the treacherous system of the empire that Zhao Gou's performance is just right

It is certain that he is the prince. Because only the princes and grandsons who were born and raised in the deep palace can only live with fear and caution in the extremely dangerous deep palace. He has seen too many conspiracies and killings, and he knows

How to properly preserve your life when danger comes.

Zhao Gou escaped the disaster and returned home safely, and was welcomed like a hero. The emperor's brother Zhao Huan immediately appointed him as the Grand Tutor for this ninth brother who volunteered to come out of the gold camp. However, Zhao Gou, who survived the disaster, was also granted the title of Grand Tutor.

Without any excitement, he already understood that this seemingly loyal emperor brother just regarded himself as an abandoned child on the chessboard.

When he left the capital for charity, the emperor vowed that he would guarantee his safety and redeem him as soon as possible. However, for an unsuccessful robbery, Zhao Gou almost lost his life, but when he came back, the emperor pushed all the blame to him.

He cleaned Li Gang and Yao Pingzhong and cleaned himself.

But Zhao Gou didn't believe it at all. Although he was not valued, he was still the prince of the empire. Who among the foreign ministers dared not take him seriously? Therefore, he dared to bet on the prince. Only the only one who could be the real empire

The controller is the wronged emperor brother.

Zhao Gou, who was having a headache, seemed to figure it out in an instant. He was just a gorgeous decoration, a pawn in the hands of the emperor that he could give up at any time. He could not control his destiny at all. He was a little envious of his second brother who was "exiled" outside, at least he

There is still freedom!

"I'm not willing to give up, my life is invincible!" Zhao Gou shouted in his heart...

………

On the same day Zhao Gou returned to the city, a major event happened. The students of the Imperial Academy wrote a letter to the palace, and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians came unexpectedly. They demanded the dismissal of Li Bangyan, reused Li Gang and Zhong Shidao, and opposed the cenitation of land and begging for peace.

At this time, the Jin army attacked the city again. Everyone in the city was in danger, and they were angry at the dismissal of Li Gang and others, and the reuse of Li Bangyan and others. Everyone beat the Dengwen drum desperately until the drum was beaten to pieces.

.The more and more soldiers and civilians outside the gate gathered, hundreds of thousands of people. For a time, the streets and alleys were running out of water, and the sounds were heard everywhere in the city, and the sounds spread for dozens of miles. This lasted for several hours, and there was no way in the court.

People comforted and no one responded, and the people's emotions became increasingly intense.

The military and civilian behavior was out of righteous indignation and could not be so gentle and humble. After beating Li Bangyan, his lord and ministers were also criticized and beaten. He killed dozens of eunuchs, Zhao Heng knew that he was in the wrong and the public was angry. He was even more worried.

The strong enemy was approaching and civil strife broke out again. He had to announce that Li Gang and Zhong Shidao were reinstated and asked Li Gang to come forward to appease the petitioning students, calming the storm.

After several twists and turns, the Song Dynasty, from the emperor to the people, was all suffering by the Jin army. The Jin army had been outside the city for nearly a month, and the Song Dynasty was looking forward to the Jin army leaving and getting rid of it as soon as possible.

Now I was in a hurry to take the silver and leave. The Song Dynasty was actually in a hurry to collect two silver and send them away. However, the amount of silver that promised to give to the Jin army was too much, so it was not easy to get them together.

Zhao Heng first ordered the gold and silver that could be found in the palace and the palaces and temples, but this was too far from the five million taels of gold and fifty million taels of silver that he promised to the Jin army.

The order was ordered by the Minister of the Secretariat Wang Xiaodi to collect gold and silver in the civil and various government offices.

Wang Xiaodi ordered that all gold and silver from the homes of civilian and officials at all levels must be handed over to the treasury within two days. If that person finds that someone is hiding gold and silver, he can go to the government to report it. The person who reports it can receive one-third of the gold and silver sealed as a reward.

If the amount is particularly huge, you can even become an official.

Because Wang Xiaodi said that he would not pay gold and silver, the Jin army would kill all the men, rob all the women, burn all the palace, and take all the gold and silver. Therefore, the people gave him a nickname, called "Sizong Zhongshu"

". While desperately plundering gold and silver from the soldiers and civilians in the city, the imperial court transported the gold and silver to the Jin army continuously.

On February 8, good news finally came. The commander of the Eastern Army of the Jin army, Olibu, sent envoys and brought a farewell book. In the farewell book, Olibu was not only kind enough to not want to attack the Song Dynasty, but also specially allowed the Song Dynasty to work hard.

The cost was reduced by 10,000 gold, 100,000 ingots of silver, and 100,000 pieces of cloth. In addition, 50 ginseng was also sent, and the remaining war compensation was delivered in a complete monthly basis in the remaining months of this year.

On February 9, Wang Yu, the Minister of Justice, asked the emperor to dissolve the temporary city guards organized by the civilians on the grounds that the war had been lifted and the supply of food in the court was difficult. He asked the emperor to dissolve the temporary city guards organized by the people and leave only the regular army. Zhao Huan obeyed. On February 10, Wuli

The letter does not reply to the letter saying that the Jin army is preparing to set off on the 11th.

On the same day, Wu Min asked the emperor to restore Li Bangyan's position as the precept that many prime ministers were now vacant and the country urgently needed personnel. Zhao Huan immediately followed suit. So Li Bangyan was dismissed for only a few days and sat on the throne of prime minister again.

.

After Zhao Huan received the reply letter, he considered that he was just making peace with the Jin army on the east route. In the sense of reason, he should also send an envoy to the Nianhan office of the West route. So he ordered Lu Yundi to go to the Nianhan office and at the same time.

When we arrived in Taiyuan, Zhongshan and Hejian, we notified local officials and defenders that the court had handed over these three places to the Jin Kingdom and asked them to cooperate with the delivery of the Jin Kingdom and not cause any further trouble.

On February 11, Olibu led his army to set off to return to the north. After receiving the letter, Zhong Shidao immediately wrote a letter to the emperor saying that this was the best time, as long as we chased us from behind and fought with them when they arrived by the river.

We promise that they will be wiped out. If they are let go like this, they will definitely invade the south in the future.

After hearing this, Li Bangyan and other peace factions strongly opposed it in the court. Finally, Zhao Huan accepted Li Bangyan and others' proposals and dismissed Zhong Shidao as the envoy of Taiyi Palace, so no one mentioned the idea of ​​pursuing the Jin army. Li Bangyan was not yet

Don't worry, a few days later, requesting that Yao Gu, Zhong Shidao, and others lead troops to escort the Jin army across the river, and set up a banner in Hedong and Hebei to make sure that any people who are good at sending troops will be dealt with by military law.

Prevent local armed harassment of the Jin army.

With the departure of the Jin army, Kaifeng, who had been besieged for more than a month, the Song Dynasty temporarily escaped... (To be continued...)
