Chapter 42

In March 1207 AD, the Song and Jin dynasties were dominated by the voices of peace talks.

The war has been fought so far, and the two sides have won and lost each other. But overall, the Song Dynasty had a slight advantage in local areas and killed the head commander of the Jin army, Pusankui, and Sizhou was also recovered.

However, in order to be able to dominate the peace talks, Jin Ting planned to take over Sizhou and then hold peace talks.

Ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel. Since the withdrawal of the army, the morale and morale have been sluggish.

In addition, the rebels were in trouble everywhere, even the Jin army under the command of Mu Yansi can be described as a tragic victory.

Therefore, the idea of ​​regaining Sizhou was quickly abandoned.

In fact, the most important thing is the rise of northern Mongolia, which puts great pressure on Jin Ting.

In order to prevent the rise of the Mongolians, Jinting has repeatedly created conflicts between Mongolian tribes and provoked the relationship between them, so that they cannot be unified.

Moreover, from time to time, troops were sent to go deep into the northern part of the desert to directly kill the Mongolians, and implemented the so-called "reduced tax" policy, with the purpose of preventing Mongolia from becoming stronger and bigger.

In addition, Jin Ting once nailed Genghis Khan's ancestor Anbahaikhan to a wooden donkey to kill him. It can be said that this is completely a feud.

If you don’t commit suicide, you won’t die! The pressure facing Jin Ting is currently in great importance.

After the reunification of Mongolia, large troops frequently marched south to harass, which was completely a sign of revenge.

In addition, Mongolia, which had just been unified, is in the rising period of external expansion. The Mongols are eager to show their strength to the outside world. It is imperative to destroy the Jin Kingdom that borders it.

Zhang Yun, who was later generations, was very clear about these things. But the Song Dynasty's court is not aware of them now. Although it was mentioned to Han Tuozhou before, I don't know whether it can be taken seriously.

After thinking about it, Zhang Yun still wrote the memorial, which was taken to Lin'an by Taoist Priest Changchunzi. As for the result, Zhang Yun could only wait patiently.

Zhao Kuo has been in a good mood these days, and the situation ahead has eased, but this Northern Expedition has brought him a lot of praise.

At least, the pro-war faction will not point at the nose and call him a fool. However, the pro-he faction has weakened a lot in the face of Zhang Yun's achievements.

"The official family, Zhang Yun, the governor of Sizhou, submitted a memorial on the peace talks..." Before Han Tuozhou finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Kuo.

"Zhang Yun also agrees to the peace talks?" Zhao Kuo spoke, very curious.

Based on Zhao Kuo's understanding of Zhang Yun, it is reasonable that he would not care about any kind of peace talks or not. However, since he submitted a memorial, Zhao Kuo still planned to see what Zhang Yun wrote.

After turning on the memorial handed over by Han Tuozhou, Zhao Kuo frowned, not because of what Zhang Yun wrote, but because of the twisted handwriting.

"The official family, Zhang Yun, the governor of Sizhou, was originally a martial artist!" Han Tuozhou knew why Zhao Kuo frowned and immediately explained.

Zhao Kuo had no words, he was deeply attracted by the content of Zhang Yun's memorial.

After a long time, Zhao Kuo put together the memorial and said in a long sigh: "The ghost painting peach talisman makes me dazzled, but the content is true?"

Zhao Kuo had only heard of Mongolia far away in the northern desert!

"The old minister sent someone to investigate, what Zhang Yun said is true. Besides..." Han Tuozhou kept his words in half and kept him in a silence.

In other words, in the Song Dynasty, these scholars dared to speak to the emperor of this dynasty in this way. If they were placed in the Han and Tang dynasties, they would have been dragged out to behead their heads long ago.

"What's more?" Han Tuozhou's words swayed Zhao Kuo's appetite.

"Zhang Yun once proposed a strategy of joining the border and joining the border, and the current situation is just right!"

Next, Han Tuozhou said what Zhang Yun said that day in his own words. Zhao Kuo listened with relish and his evaluation of Zhang Yun was improved a little more.

After Han Tuozhou left, Zhao Kuo fell into deep thought. If Zhang Yun was really just a martial artist, how could he analyze the current situation so clearly?

After looking at the handwriting on the memorial again, Zhao Kuo felt that he would not pay attention to it. As long as he is a pillar of the country, whether he is a martial artist or not?

It seems that this violates the ancestral system again...

Zhao Kuo shook his head, and an impulse in his heart pulled him out of his thoughts.

"I think about my heart when I am full and warm, and my hunger and cold make me feel thief!" Is this really from the mouth of a martial artist?

In the morning of the next day, before the lord and sect led by Shi Miyuan spoke, Zhao Kuo first expressed his thoughts.

However, he did not disclose any news about Mongolia at all. However, the candidates for peace talks he brought up made the peacekeepers furious.

"The official family, Zhang Yun, the governor of Sizhou, was a fifth-rank official, and was embarrassed by this important task! What's more,..." Shi Miyuan was interrupted by Zhao Kuo in a dissatisfaction as soon as he said halfway through his words.

"This is my will, not to let all my dear friends discuss it!"

Looking at Zhao Kuo with a gloomy face on the dragon throne, Shi Miyuan felt that he should try again.

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, there has never been a habit of killing scholars and officials. If they were exposed for forcibly admonishing them, they would inevitably bring great reputation.

Or it can be said that it is precisely because of the fact that these people do not kill the scholars and officials, and they often point at the Emperor of the Zhao family to curse. There are many such examples.

"Officials, how can we let martial artists deal with state affairs?" Shi Miyuan said this very seriously. On the surface, it seems nothing, but in fact it is saying that Zhao Kuo destroys the ancestral system.

Zhao Kuo's face was gloomy and terrible when he heard this. What's the difference between Shi Miyuan's actions and pointing at his nose and scolding him?

Just as Han Tuozhou was about to scold him, Zhao Kuo stood up violently.

"State affairs? What a state affairs!" After pausing, Zhao Kuo continued: "Are you good ministers doing such a great state affairs in the Northern Expedition? Have you ever tried your best to fight with the Jin army?"

As soon as this statement was spoken, Shi Miyuan was stunned on the spot. He never expected Zhao Kuo to do such a thing.

This sentence just hit the weak point of the peace faction, just like Shi Miyuan said that Zhao Kuo violated the ancestral system and was scolded speechless.

"Since the Northern Expedition, the soldiers in front of them have fought bloody battles. Have you ever done your best? If it weren't for the Sizhou Governor Zhang Yun, the Jin army would have reached Lin'an City long ago. As a minister of a country, he would not die and serve the country. He only knew that he was indifferent to seek peace, and where would the Song Dynasty be placed?"

After a breath, Zhao Kuo continued, "Zhang Yun is right. Some people in the Song Dynasty have too soft bones, so just kneel down!"

After speaking, Zhao Kuo shook his sleeves and left angrily. This situation was rarely seen in the Song Dynasty.

"Give me a visit to the official family, and the Song Dynasty won thousands of victories!" Han Tuozhou bowed to Zhao Kuo's departure back and bowed.

At that moment, he couldn't believe that the official family in front of him was still the one he was familiar with.

Over the years, the literati and officials' majesty in the court was slapped loudly by Zhao Kuo.

The king, the king, the minister, who is the king? Who is the minister?

I believe that after today, Zhang Yun's reputation will spread throughout Lin'an again.

If the official family does not show his power, the group of leaders and factions really think that the official family is a sick cat.

Shi Miyuan didn't know how he returned to the mansion. Everything in the court today made him feel dazed.

"Am I wrong? Am I wrong?...Is it really wrong?" Shi Miyuan kept asking the same question repeatedly.

"Is the national policy of the Song Dynasty wrong?" Thinking of this, Shi Miyuan couldn't help but burst into a cold sweat.

He never understood the truth that being with the king is like being with a tiger!
