Chapter 20 The king is in Chenqiao Station!

In the afternoon of the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month in the seventh year of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty.

Today is New Year's Eve, and tomorrow is the first day of the first lunar month of the eighth year of Xuanhe... It seems that the Jingkang shame will not be there again!

Because Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty did not enter the country and the prince Zhao Huan did not ascend the throne, there would be no change to the reign of Jingkang. Therefore, the first year of Jingkang became the eighth year of Xuanhe. If Zhao Ji and his family were to arrest the Jin thieves and drink the northeast wind in Wuguo City, it would be a shame for Xuanhe rather than Jingkang.

However, at this time, the official Zhao Ji and his ministers in the Chongzheng Hall in Kaifeng Imperial City showed a long-lost relaxed expression when the Jin soldiers approached.

This is not because Zhao Ji and his ministers' "coward disease" has been alleviated (this coward disease is not only hereditary, but also contagious), but because Zhao Kai, the crazy king, finally left Kaifeng Prefecture in the early morning of this morning and embarked on the long road of "going north to beg for mercy".

Not to mention whether his "begging for mercy" can be completed, as long as he can leave Kaifeng Prefecture, the monarch and ministers in the court will be vented.

Because Prince Yun was too crazy, he dared to lead troops to enter Donghua Gate and forced the officials who had issued the Nei Zen edict to take back their lives. Since ancient times, I have heard that those who forced people to abdicate, but there were those who forced people to become emperors? This is simply too unreasonable, and it is not like the official family of the Song Dynasty... Although he looks very similar to Zhao Ji, his temperament is too bad, and I don’t know who to follow him?

There is only such a king who lives next to the palace with two or three thousand elite soldiers. Who can be safe in the court? Even those who have always supported Prince Yun to fight for the throne in the past have now changed their minds.

If Prince Yun becomes an official, no one will have a good life!

Although most court officials have already stood opposite Zhao Kai, as long as Zhao Kai lives next door to the palace with two or three thousand soldiers, no one dares to have any bad intentions.

Now it was the Song Dynasty in the late Xuanhe period. In Kaifeng Prefecture, besides cowardly officials and ministers, there were tens of thousands of slippery imperial guards who could not be hard. If you really want to close the city gate and fight in the internal conflict, maybe the crazy Zhao Kai would win another game.

By then, Zhao Kai would not be able to become an official.

Moreover, Zhao Ji, the official official of the Song Dynasty, seemed to be not dissatisfied with the son who forced him to continue to be the emperor. Not only did he not issue any secret edicts, he also asked Zhao Kai to give him an additional 300,000 yuan to "beg for mercy."

Judging from this, the official still believes that Prince Yun belongs to Prince Yun. If Prince Yun can beg for mercy successfully, he will definitely be the prince.

But this Prince Yun is too unruly!

The important officials in Chongzheng Hall were considering whether they were trying to learn from Zhao Kai's book when someone suddenly stepped out of the train, walked to the center of the hall, and saluted the official Zhao Ji. Everyone looked at the man and was stunned. The man was actually Zhao Shu, the fifth son of Zhao Ji, the official Zhao Ji.

Because Zhao Ji's second and fourth sons died early, Zhao Huan and Zhao Kai were Zhao Shu after Zhao Huan. Now Zhao Huan is sick at home, and Zhao Kai has left Kaifeng Prefecture, so Zhao Shu has become Zhao Ji's princes and the temporary elder brother of the princes. So if something happens to his brothers and sisters at home, he has to report to Zhao Ji.

"Father, I received a report from the Insider of the King of Xin's Mansion Yishan and the King of Xin's Mansion this morning. I said that the Twelve Brother and the Ten Sisters who went to the King of Xin's Mansion last evening, left the Prince's Mansion together after receiving a handwritten letter from Prince Yun, and have not come back this morning..."

As soon as this news came out, all the civil and military officials in the court were shocked... Why did Zhao Kai abduct his two brothers and sisters? It would be fine to abduct a younger brother, but Zhao Zhi and Zhao Kai are the same mother and may be accomplices of the Donghuamen Incident, so it would be normal for Zhao Kai to leave Tokyo together. But why did Zhao Kai abduct a teenage princess? Could this little girl also accomplices?

"What, what?" Zhao Ji was stunned when he heard this, "Fifth Brother, what did you say?"

"Father, Father," Zhao Shu was also amused and crying, "The third brother said that the third brother was likely to take the twelfth brother and the tenth sister were away."

"But why did he take Shi Jie'er away? Shi Jie'er is a woman!" Zhao Ji was also inexplicably surprised - now it is the Song Dynasty! The reputation of a girl's family is still very important. Even if the emperor's daughter is ruined, she will still be worried about marrying!

"This..." Zhao Shu frowned tightly, "I guess my third brother might be..."

"What is it?" Zhao Ji was a little annoyed when he saw this son stuttering, "Tell me quickly!"

Seeing that he was angry, Zhao Shu gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and told Zhao Ji that he had made up for the answer he had found: "I guess that the third brother may want to use the Tenth Sister to marry the Jinzhe!"

"Grace with a marriage?" Zhao Ji slapped his thigh and almost praised Zhao Kai. Why didn't he expect such a good idea? He paid the money, cedes land, and marriage... He just called the emperor of the Jin people the father and called himself the son emperor!

While Zhao Ji was impressed by his son Zhao Kai's brilliant way of begging for mercy, someone in the court was already in anger.

"Your Majesty, Li Gang thinks that the Emperor's Princess must not be used to marry him! How noble is the Emperor's Princess, how cruel is the Jin barbarians, how cruel can the Emperor's Princess serve the King of the Jin people? Besides, the garrison of the Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo is becoming more and more perfect, and the soldiers guarding the city are fighting spirit, which has already issued an edict to make the heroes from all directions pay attention to the king... If you pay the money to marry, you will definitely lose the hearts of heroes in the world!"

Zhao Ji knew without looking at it that the minister who opposed the payment of money and marriage must be Li Gang, the commander of the camp.

Zhao Ji ignored the most determined pro-war faction in Kaifeng Prefecture City, but turned his attention to Dazai Li Bangyan and Shaozai Bai Shizhong.

"Your Majesty, Li Bangyan also feels that he should not be married to the Jin people... Even if he wants to marry, His Highness Yun should not be the decision without authorization! I ask Your Majesty to issue an edict to Prince Yun and ask him to return the princess to the emperor immediately!"

"Your Majesty, I am Bai Shizhong's proposal!"

Zhao Ji turned his attention to Cai You, the head of the Privy Council, who opened his face bitterly, "Your Majesty, Cai You also thinks that what Prince Yun has done is a bit too much. The court should not blindly indulge it, otherwise the tail will not be too big."

Li Gang, Li Bangyan, Bai Shizhong, Cai You, the four ministers of the two prefectures, almost unanimously opposed Zhao Kai's "marriage" strategy, which actually means that the direction of the central government of the Song Dynasty had fundamentally changed after Zhao Kai left Kaifeng Prefecture.

Zhao Kai's abducting Emperor Roufu and his suspected marriage only gave the court officials an excuse to oppose Zhao Kai... and using this as an excuse to make the court issue an edict to scold Zhao Kai and order him to return the Emperor to the emperor was just a breakthrough.

Of course, Zhao Ji understood what the priests meant, and he was a little moved... Should he use this excuse to hit Zhao Kai, a somewhat crazy son?

While Zhao Ji was repeatedly calculating the pros and cons, Tong Guan suddenly walked in from outside the Chongzheng Hall in a hurry, and his brows were frowning and his expression was complicated.

When Zhao Ji saw Tong Guan like this, he became nervous again. Before Tong Guan could salute, he asked: "Tong Guan, what happened? Did the Jin thief reach the north bank of the Yellow River?"

"Official family," Tong Guan bowed and said, "It was not the Jin thief who arrived at the north bank of the Yellow River, but Prince Yun..."

"So what happened to Prince Yun?" Zhao Ji was panicked.
