Chapter two hundred and fourteen: manpower will eventually run out(1/2)
Although Luo Yongsheng always said that he wanted to do a dignified matter, he still used a very sinister method when he handed over the letter to Zhao Heng as the orthodox king of Great Chu.
That is, the Chinese scholar arrived three days earlier than Kou Yubanshi.
Never underestimate this mere three days, these three days are enough to play a preconceived role.
Zhao Heng's body has been very bad recently, and this is well known. There have been undercurrents inside and outside Chang'an City. Everyone is looking east, watching the general trend of the world, and making the worst plans. At this critical moment, Luo Yongsheng's envoy brought the letter of the country, which naturally attracted the attention of the public.
With a sick body, Zhao Heng still met the envoy sent by Luo Chu at the temporary renovation of the Xiantang Palace.
A member of the Jun Guard named Wu Zhen.
"Since ancient times, there has been no reason for the rebels to submit letters to the orthodox people. Your Majesty should not have seen him."
Before he met, Cao Can found Zhao Heng and persuaded him: "Your Majesty should be dragged down and beheaded directly, and send a head to the world to cheer up the hearts of the military and civilians."
But Wang Qinruo was a strong advocate and said.
"Now that the northwest is poor and cold, and before the Western Xia army formation, your Majesty is ill and should not be able to wait for a long time. It is better to meet him. If you can reach some consensus with Luo Chu, you can return to Tokyo."
Why do you always feel so familiar to Cao Can?
If you think about it carefully, this is not what Cao Yong said during the Chanzhou Alliance.
The emperor planned to sign a so-called friendship treaty with Luo Chu?
Cao Can was not Cao Cao, and he couldn't control the emperor. He could only watch Zhao Heng go to court and meet the Luo Chu envoy named Wu Zhen.
"Little messenger, I don't kneel down to worship when I see the king of the Song Dynasty."
Although he had the intention of peace talks, Zhang Qi still wanted to help Zhao Heng get some face, so he criticized Wu Zhen's etiquette in person.
But when it comes to etiquette, if you are a "Gentile" envoy like Wu Zhen, you need to stay in the envoy of the Ministry of Rites for three days, and someone will teach you the etiquette and simple official words. But is Chu considered a "Gentile"?
Besides, Zhao Heng was in a hurry to run west this time, so he didn’t have time to build a post in Chang’an to build a post in the Ministry of Rites. Let’s get some work.
Wu Zhen looked serious and said seriously: "I am an official assistant to the Great Chu. I followed the Chu laws and followed the Chu laws. I, the Great Chu, did not worship you, so I would like to forgive me."
"presumptuous!"
Zhang Qi was angry and all officials looked at each other in anger, but Zhao Heng, who was sick and pale, smiled bitterly and raised his hand to stop him.
"Zhang Qi, at this time, don't be so rude. Go and bring the letter of nationality."
The emperor spoke, and Zhang Qi had no choice but to walk down Danbi, snatched the letter of the country from Wu Zhen with a cold face, and submitted it to Zhao Heng's imperial case.
The word "Song of the People" sounds grand, but Luo Chu is in a difficult situation now and has not achieved his foundation. Luo Yongsheng created it in the military camp again, so this so-called "Song of the People" is just a piece of paper.
This kind of details is full of disrespect for Zhao Heng and the Song Dynasty.
The content of the Chinese Book is concise and basically all is practical. It is not as magnificent and grand as Wei Bingkun’s proclamation to confront Song Dynasty. It is very pragmatic and pragmatic, so pragmatic that it is difficult for Zhao Heng to accept.
The rough meaning is that Luo Yongsheng plans to divide the river with Zhao Song to rule, and divide the world from the north and the south.
As long as Zhao Song gave up south of the Yangtze River, Luo Chu would form an alliance with Zhao Songyong, and in return, he would help Zhao Song to wipe out puppet regimes such as Liu Shu in Sichuan, Lin Min in Fujian, and Chen Yue in Guangdong and Guangxi.
Zhao Song only needed to recognize the orthodox nature of the Luo Chu regime.
At first glance, it seemed that Zhao Song took advantage, but when he thought about it, he was completely damn.
The north and south divide the world, and after the river was divided into a river, was it the rebellion of the Zhao Song Dynasty that was created by Sichuan, Fujian, and Guangdong?
Then it would turn into the rebellion of Luo Chu.
He said that he would help Zhao Song to wipe out, but in fact, even if Zhao Song didn't mention it, Luo Yongsheng would have to send troops to quell the rebellion.
Once the north and south are divided, it means that Zhao Song gave up half of the entire Jiangnan country, which is simply a self-destruction of his foundation.
The content of the letter of the country caused an uproar. Even the prime minister who advocated peace like Wang Qinruo and Lu Mengzheng shook his head and refused, indicating that it was difficult to accept it.
"The envoy should retreat first. This matter is of great importance. All officials need to discuss and consider it with His Majesty."
Wang Qinruo said soft words, and found several bureaucrats from the Ministry of Rites to take Wu Zhen away from the palace and take good care of him. He turned around and persuaded Zhao Heng with the civil and military officials.
"Your Majesty, you must not agree to such a harsh condition."
This kind of words came from Wang Qinruo, the escaped prime minister, who surrendered to the prime minister, which made people laugh, but they couldn't help but think deeply.
Why do you still persuade Zhao Heng if you don’t want to accept the conditions that Wang Qinruo is unwilling to accept?
What are the former worried about? Or is the former not confident in Zhao Heng?
Zhao Heng is not a mentally retarded, and he also opposes things that everyone is opposing. Giving Jiangnan to Luo Chu is digging his own grave, so Zhao Heng himself would not agree without Wang Qinruo and all officials.
So Zhao Heng asked Wang Qinruo to be the representative.
"Wang Qing, please take responsibility for the peace talks. The bottom line between me and the court is that I can recognize Luo Chu's legal system. Chu and Song are brothers and ally countries. They do not distinguish between the king and the ministers, but they only divide the river and rule the world. I will never agree with the court."
"I accept the order."
At this time, only Cao Can stood up, knelt on the ground and cried to Zhao Heng in tears.
"Your Majesty, what's the use of a peace agreement? In the Chanzhou alliance, our Song Dynasty also signed a peace agreement with the Khitans. As a result, the Khitans traitorized and tore up the peace agreement, and they still invaded the south.
It can be seen that peace agreements between countries are simply unbinding waste paper. Now Luo Ni sent an envoy to send a letter to seek peace, which is actually arrogance of the court to quell the rebellion. If the court acquiesced the legal system of the pseudo-Chu regime, what should the thieves in Sichuan, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and Ningxia do? What do those anti-local people think of the court, and what do the scholars and officials in the world think of the court?"
The civil and military disagreements on this matter, and then became more and more intense, and the quarrel was inextricable. Zhao Heng had no choice but to put it aside for the time being and waited until Kou Yan returned to the court.
The time for the decision to determine the fate of the Song Dynasty has come.
Kou Yan did not take off his armor and walked into the palace in military uniform. He had been sleeping in the open for several months. The military labor made him pale and his spirit a little depressed, but his unique eagle and falcon eyes were still bright and stunning.
Looking around the court and scanning the ministers, Kou Yan spoke.
"The court definitely cannot recognize the legal system of the Luo Chu regime. Apart from conquering the battle, the court has no second way to go."
"Try? What to beat?"
As Kou Wei's political enemy, Wang Qinruo still chose to oppose Kou Wei in this matter, and he came out to criticize him.
"In order to defend against the Khitan, Grand Tutor Kou even gave up Tokyo City. Although the change of the king's flag on the city was a trick to make the enemy clear, it also made the prefectures and prefectures in Henan Province mistakenly think that the country is covered with dust, causing officials and people to flee in a hurry.
Jinghu North Road was originally to resist Luo Ni’s previous line, so it surrendered without fighting. If the officials and the court did not return to Tokyo, then Shandong, Jiang, Anhui and Zhejiang would be lost."
Although Chang'an is good, it is far away from the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River.
Once the control of the center decreases, there is no difference between it and losing it.
The number one problem that the Song court urgently needs to solve is to return to Tokyo.
"If there is no peace talks, then Luo Ni must be wiped out. Only then can the imperial court return the capital. How long will it take for the Grand Tutor to wipe out Luo Ni?"
Kou Wei was speechless and told the truth.
"Luo Ni has a rich wing, and he has no absolute certainty in his original appearance."
"Why did the Grand Master stop His Majesty and the capital?"
Wang Qinruo seized the opportunity and said: "The one who guards Tokyo now is Kou Zhong, the adopted son of the Grand Tutor, but earlier, Kou Zhong had escaped from prison because of the unfavorable pursuit of Luo Ni in Shandong. The tiger was out of the trap and was stripped of all his official titles by the court. Why did the Grand Tutor let a criminal minister take on the important task of garrisoning the capital!"
Everything is most afraid of bringing up old accounts. The couple lives like this, and the country is the same.
As soon as Wang Qinruo found out the old account, Zhao Heng's expression looked much ugly. Looking at Kou again, he frowned.
"The ancestral temples are all in the capital, and the tomb of Taizu Taizong is also in the capital. Your Majesty, you must return the capital."
The Lords and the Sects are tired. Now they just want to return to Tokyo City and to their relatives and friends, instead of being worried every day in Chang'an. When the king's flag changed on the top of Tokyo City earlier, I don't know what they were scared to.
Even in my dream, the rebels captured Chang'an, chopped down their heads and hung them on the city gate.
The blood-dripping terror scared them out of their courage.
Now that moving out of the ancestral temple tombs has given Zhao Heng a step to get peace talks. As soon as he was about to speak, he heard Kou Yan's voice.
"Your Majesty! If Your Majesty insists on peace talks, how can you be worthy of the tens of thousands of soldiers of the three armies who have been killed in fighting the rebellion in the past few years? They died in order to serve the imperial court to suppress the rebels. But now, the court has recognized the regime of Luo Ni and the pseudo-Chu. Wouldn't it be sold all of them?
Your Majesty, the Chanzhou Alliance court has sold Hebei, and now it is still necessary to have an alliance with the thief to sell Hunan and Jiangxi?”
"Kou Pingzhong, you are arrogant!"
Zhao Heng's eyes turned black when he was angry, and he pointed at Kou Yan's figure and swayed. In addition, all the officials were frightened and scolded Kou Yan.
"Kou Jun, are you going to learn from Wang Mang, Dong Zhuo?"
At this time, Kou Wei also made up his mind and knelt on the ground regardless of the matter, and said, "I would like to think twice. Peace talks are not feasible. Just as Your Majesty insists on doing it alone, please resign!"
"Resign?" Zhao Heng was stunned, and then sneered: "You threaten me for resigning from office?"
"I dare not."
"Do you think I dare not kill you!"
Zhao Heng's pitch suddenly raised his head and scolded: "Kou Yan, you are too bullying me. Come and take down this ruthless minister who is abusing the emperor, stripped off his official robe and sent him to prison, and wait for the beheading!"
Is the emperor confused?
Although everyone scolded Kou Yan, they never thought of killing Kou Yan, especially at this critical moment.
Zhang Qi grabbed Zhao Heng and whispered this sentence in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, Tokyo is still in Kou Zhong's hand."
Killing Kou Shi at this time is not forcing Kou Zhong to surrender to Chu?
At this moment, Kou Shi also understood that he had been Luo Yongsheng's words again. If he had arrived in Chang'an before the letter of the country, then of course there would be some ways to stop and persuade Zhao Heng. However, the letter of the country was first arrived, and three days was enough for all officials to plant a seed that was still alive in Zhao Heng's heart.
