Will the fate of Emperor Roufu change?

Yu Yin didn't know!

But keeping Brother Wang Yan by the side of Emperor Roufu can at least have more guarantees. No matter how bad it is, Yu Yin can also control the actions of Emperor Roufu through Brother Wang Yan. As long as Emperor Roufu does not enter the Jin camp, the miserable fate in history may change. Yu Yin can only do this... If it weren't for Brother Wang Yan's sudden appearance, he might even let Yan Nu protect Emperor Roufu. Of course, these things are not worthy of being told by outsiders.

On the 17th day of the first lunar month, Zhong Shidao arrived at the foot of Kaifeng City.

As a member of the Privy Council, after Zhong Shidao arrived, he naturally took over Kaifeng Defense.

After carefully inquiring about the process of the Kaifeng war, Zhong Shidao couldn't help but say, "Bo Ji is too cautious. It is good to defend the enemy outside the city, but the enemy soldiers at the city will have an impact on the government, so this peace talks are natural.

If Yu Yin had won a great victory in Guoqiao Town and Bo Ji could send troops to help, the situation would not have been so passive.

Bo Ji was a man of planning the country. Although he was loyal and righteous, he ignored the feelings of the government. It was really not necessary."

Fortunately, Li Gang is not here, otherwise there would be a dispute.

Zhang Shuye shook his head repeatedly, but out of friendship with Li Gang, he couldn't help but argue for Li Gang.

"Mr. Zhong said it well, but he also ignored the situation at that time.

Yu Xiaoyi kept orders and acted without permission. Even if Li Shangshu got the news, it would be difficult to support him... After all, the situation of the enemy and us is not clear, and he felt that Li Shangshu's insistence on Kaifeng is also the best way."

Zhong Shidao is 75 years old and has long passed the age of arguing with others.

This time, he came here with illness and ran all the way. After arriving in Kaifeng, he didn't have a moment of rest and was already exhausted.

After Zhang Shuye finished speaking, he waved his hand and smiled, "I'm not blaming Bo Ji. I just felt that he was a little cautious in this matter and had no intention of criticizing him. Although Yu Xiaoyi acted without permission, it was understandable that he would not accept the orders outside the military. Since Bo Ji was determined to help Yu Xiaoyi add the orders, if he could send troops to support him again, he would not be able to take the opportunity to retake Fengqiu, so he could defend the enemy outside Kaifeng Prefecture, and the government naturally would not have too many concerns."

This time, Zhang Shuye did not speak for Li Gang anymore.

He also knew that Master Zhong was not accusing him, but lamenting that he missed the opportunity and the situation was so corrupt that it was now.

The thoughts of the official family!

Li Gang is a straight minister, but he is not a good minister.

He is honest, but in this life, he is afraid that he will fall on this honesty.

Since the Song Dynasty, the emperor and scholars have ruled the world together.

Winning the war is the honor of the scholars and officials, but if they lose, the emperor will be incompetent.

This is also one of the reasons why emperors of all dynasties were unwilling to start the war easily. In addition, since the Song Dynasty, they valued culture and military affairs, so they were somewhat resistant to military affairs. If we change the later sayings, the idea of ​​the Emperors of Lao Zhao was nothing more than: things that could be solved with money were not a matter.

Wars are exhausting the people and money. It is easy to encourage the arrogance of military generals.

If there is a reparation and peace negotiation, the people who pay the money will be the literati and the people who bear the infamous will be the literati and officials who have no connection with the emperor. Under such circumstances, the old Zhao emperors naturally do not want to fight with their opponents to protect their face.

The battle of Kaifeng made Li Gang famous.

Speaking of it outside, it was Li Gang who presided over the overall situation and defeated the enemy thieves, but it had nothing to do with Zhao Huan.

If Zhao Huan is not afraid, that is unlikely... But Li Gang is another strong man. Although his morality is good, he is too straightforward and does not know how to adapt. You have been in charge of the overall situation for so long. Have you ever once been to highlight the importance of Zhao Huan?

However, he stopped Zhao Huan from leaving repeatedly, leaving Zhao Huan dull.

On the contrary, although Geng Nanzhong and others did not take charge of the overall situation, they always highlighted the importance of Zhao Huan.

After all, Geng Nanzhong and others knew Zhao Huan's thoughts and knew how to cater to it; and even if Li Gang knew, he would not bother to do it.

This is the main reason why Zhao Huan was dissatisfied with him.

It's ridiculous, but Li Gang doesn't know...

Mr. Zhong has been through the officialdom for a long time, and it can be said that he has gone through three dynasties.

If he did not know how to figure out the minds of the officials, he would not be able to reach his current position. Just look at him when he was in the northwest, Tong Guan once insisted on his arguments, and Zhong Shidao only argued for a few words and stopped persuading him. When Tong Guan was defeated, he came forward to clean up the mess, submitted a memorial to countermeasures, and asked Emperor Huizong to make a decision. He could not understand the thoughts of the old Zhao emperors.

He regretted it a little. If he had come back one day earlier, he might have been able to ease the situation.

After all, Li Gang was a scholar who was too enthusiastic. Even if he kept Kaifeng, he was destined to have a good ending in the future.

However, no one would say anything about these things.

When Master Zhong first arrived in Kaifeng, he didn't know much about the current situation in Kaifeng City.

In addition, reinforcements from all sides arrived, he also needed to coordinate, so he would not make any decisions casually...

After carefully studying the process of the Battle of Kaifeng, Zhong Shidao developed a strong interest in Yu Yin.

"Did Xianggong Zhang realize that this Yu Xiaoyi's battle situation is so keen and tight."

Zhang Shuye nodded and said, "Yes, I also discovered this... This boy's actions in Guoqiao Town are quite a masterpiece. Moreover, he took office in Moutuogang, and seemed to have expected that the enemy thieves would come to Kaifeng and start transferring food and grass early, so that the enemy thieves could not gain any advantage after they arrived. After that, the battle at Chaoyang Gate showed a more powerful general.

It is not to be underestimated if you can rescue the camp of the wing army and lead a group of defeated generals to block the enemy's thieves who are several times more powerful than you...

It turns out that the dog son took advantage of him. If Xiao Yi had not fought in Chaoyang Gate, Bo Fen would have no chance to defeat the enemy. He mentioned this matter to me just now, saying that Yu Xiao Yi could be called my Dead Soldier of the Song Dynasty and could be called a pillar of the country."

Zhang Shuye's words were quite appreciative.

Zhong Shidao smiled, "I have heard of this person's name for a long time.

The envoys from the enemy came the year before, and he was the first to reveal the enemy's thieves to ced the three towns, which eventually made Taishang Daojun change his mind. I also thought that his Song Dynasty Times Weekly was very good. Long ago, he suggested in his article that the three surnames of Guo Yaoshi should not be reused, but no one believed it. Moreover, the Song Dynasty Times Weekly was the first to comment on the enemy's thieves, saying that sooner or later there would be a fierce battle between the Song and Jin Dynasties... Although this man was born in the market, he really had a loyal and righteous heart and had a good vision. Zhang Xianggong, I intend to bring him to the Privy Council and make a record room, what do you think?"

The Privy Council Records Room is similar to the nature of the Secretariat in later generations.

However, in terms of duties, he also has some power as a consultant. Yu Yin has no reputation and is able to enter the Privy Council, which is a great reward.

But Zhang Shuye couldn't help laughing, "Mr. Zhong is afraid he's too late."

"oh?"

"I just learned from Bofen that the official family had ordered Yu Xiaoyi to be the prince Zhuru's mansion to be transferred from the Ministry of War.

If it were said one day earlier, it would not be difficult to handle. But now... Yu Xiaoyi has received the order and has taken the seal from the prince. Mr. Zhong will ask for it again at this time. I am afraid he will go to the prince and tell him, I think it is quite difficult."

When Master Zhong heard this, he frowned.

"Then I'll go find the prince to ask for someone."

"Disaster!"

Zhang Shuye sighed. "Does Mr. Zhong know why Yu Xiaoyi was ordered to be expelled from the prince's servant?"

"this……"

"Bo Fen has a few acquaintances in the palace, and some of them happen to be on duty in the Zichen Palace.

It is said that the saint took the prince to Zichen Hall that day, saying that since everyone doesn't like Yu Xiaoyi, why not transfer him to Zhusufu? You also know that the saint is virtuous and never interferes in political affairs. But if she speaks, the official will not object. The prince also said that the Privy Council's War Department is unfair to Yu Xiaoyi. Instead of staying in the Ministry of War, it is better to be his Zhusufu.

The official family was a little hesitant, but the saint said: Yu Xiaoyi is a loyal minister. Since he was rejected and staying is not a good deed. It is better to go to the prince to do things... As a result, the official family agreed to this matter. Today, he ordered Yu Xiaoyi to eliminate the leadership of the minister."

“Exclusion?”

It was only after Zhong Shidao arrived in Kaifeng that it was impossible for Yu Yin to know what happened.

Even if Yu Yin is valued by him, after all, he is just a small military envoy, and it is good to be able to catch his magical eyes.

Zhang Shu said at night: "My grandson Zhong didn't know. When Yu Xiaoyi was rushing to help Guoqiao Town, he killed Fengqiu County Magistrate Wang Jian at the Guangji River Ferry. Although this matter was suppressed by the officials, it still had some impact. At that time, Li Shangshu seized 700 troops that originally belonged to Yu Xiaoyi, so that during the Battle of Chaoyang Gate, Yu Xiaoyi's troops were even less than a thousand. Somehow, the officials learned about this matter and were quite dissatisfied with Bo Ji."

Mr. Zhong almost twisted his white eyebrows together.

He didn't know this, so after listening to Zhang Shuye's story, he felt that Li Gang had done a bit too much.

"Na Boji..."

"Bo Ji didn't know about this yet. I guess he wouldn't take it seriously even if he knew it."

No wonder, since the Song Dynasty, the status of military generals has been declining day by day.

Not to mention Yu Yin, even the famous Di Qing was once humiliated by Ouyang Xiu and others, but he did not dare to feel dissatisfied.

After all, Yu Yin is not a serious scholar after all, and he has no fame.

In Li Gang's opinion, Yu Yin killed Wang Jian as a ruthless person, and it was reasonable to teach him some lessons. However, he did not expect that such a thing that seemed ordinary in the past brought him huge trouble.

How does the officials know?

Master Zhong can guess a rough guess with just a brief guess.

However, he didn't know how to comment on this matter. After hearing Zhang Shuye finished speaking, he could only shake his head and sigh.

But it's a pity, that Yu Xiaoyi...

No matter how Zhong Shidao values ​​Yu Yin, after all, Yu Yin is still a small person. As the leader of the Privy Council, Zhong Shidao naturally cannot devote too much energy to a small person. After all, the most urgent thing to solve is Wanyan Zongwang outside Kaifeng City.

Since the official family is unwilling to continue fighting, it is naturally impossible for Zhong Shidao to fight against Zhao Huan like Li Gang.

Li Jian has returned to Kaifeng and reported the results of the peace talks with Wanyan Zongwang.

Zhao Huan authorized Li Jian to increase the annual monies of 3-5 million taels to the Jurchens, and the cost of rewarding the army was also 3-5 million taels.

In addition, Zhao Huan ordered Li Jian to bribe Wanyan Zongwang with 10,000 taels of gold in private, hoping to agree to Wanyan Zongwang.

However, Wanyan Zongwang proposed the conditions of rewarding the army for 50 million taels, one million pieces of silk, and ten thousand pieces of cattle and horses. At the same time, the three towns of Taiyuan, Zhongshan and Hejian were also ceded, and the prince and prime minister were required to be hostages before they could agree to withdraw the army.

At first glance, many people think that the Song Dynasty is at a disadvantage.

But in fact, the Jurchens were really at a disadvantage. But Wanyan Zongwang's lion spoke up and was even taken out to discuss it openly.

Zhao Huan is now discussing this matter with Geng Nanzhong and others, but the news has reached Zhong Shidao's ears.

At first glance, Master Zhong couldn't laugh or cry.
