Chapter 454

No compromise

Qin Zong was so angry that he shivered and wanted to say something. Suddenly his eyes rolled, and he stood up and ordered: "Retreat the court, all the ministers, let me consider it."

Without waiting for the ministers to speak to dissuade them, Qinzong hurriedly walked into the harem.

The harem was in panic, and the palace maids and concubines were crying like they were bereaved. When they saw Qin Zong, they were like seeing a life-saving straw, and they pulled Qin Zong's robe and said they wanted Qin Zong to think of a solution. Qin Zong was upset, and the inner officials suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, Grand Master Tong led the last three thousand Shengjie troops out of the palace, saying that they were going to escort the Supreme Emperor. The Grand Marshal Gao Qiu was also summoning the guards' personal army and also said that they would go south to escort the Supreme Emperor. Lord Cai You just called to open the southern city gate and had already left the city..."

Qin Zong angrily shook the corner of his robe, turned to his confidant, and gave to the clerk (an official in charge of discipline inspection and discipline) Li Ye, said: "You heard it in the hall just now?...Isn't it respectful...

"You heard it in the hall just now? You don't respect me, the new emperor, and don't listen to me."

Li Ye was silent, and Qin Zong blurted out: "My dear, go to the Beijing camp and tell them that the evil things that were committed in the past were my father and had nothing to do with me. Let the Jin people not be embarrassed by me. Just speak for how much money you want, and withdraw the troops quickly after taking the money." Li Ye was still speechless. Qin Zong thought Li Ye was unwilling, so he sighed and explained: "The Jin people only have my money, but others want my life. As long as the Jin people take the money to withdraw their troops, I am still the emperor. Sitting in this seat, I see that the rebel minister dares to kill the king. So, no matter how much money the Jin people want, just agree to those traitors, wait for the Jin people to withdraw their troops, and see how I deal with him."

Li Ye was still silent. Qin Zong wanted to explain again, but suddenly he felt the ground was wet and moist. After a closer look, the source of warmth came from Li Ye's trouser legs - a famous talent, Li Ye of the Song Dynasty's beautiful articles, urinated!

Qin Zong comforted him kindly: "Your family, two countries will fight for war, but if you don't kill the envoys. If you go to the Jin camp for envoys, the Jin people will definitely let you back... Go quickly and return quickly, and you will not be delayed." Three days later, Li Ye returned. What did Zong Wang, the second prince of the Jin people, say, he didn't remember, but he used rhetorical techniques like rainbows to describe what the Jin camp saw, and used six metaphors to praise the Jin soldiers, "Man is like a tiger, horse is like a dragon, go up the mountain like ape, enter the water like an otter, its momentum is like Mount Tai, and China is like a buried egg."

Song Qinzong Zhao Huan had no choice but to summon all his ministers to Funing Hall to discuss how to deal with the current crisis. Prime Minister Bai Shizhong, Li Bangyan suggested to visit Xiangyang to avoid the enemy in the west. Song Qizong nodded in praise. Li Gang, the Minister of War (equivalent to the Deputy Minister of National Defense), immediately expressed his dissent and reported: "Emperor Daojun has entrusted the country and the country to His Majesty. Now he abandoned the capital. How can he be worthy of the Supreme Emperor and the people?"

Zhao Huan hesitated and replied: "The Emperor is now on a southern tour."

Zhao Heng was the product of the uterus. The vanguard of the uterus was Li Gang. Daojun only wanted Qinzong to supervise the country. It was Li Gang who stabbed the blood in his arm and wrote the blood book to force Daojun to abdicate. But at this moment, Li Gang deeply regretted Qinzong's cowardice. This monarch is really worse than a chicken.

Forget it, when he thought of the Shi Chuan memorial he had just received, Li Gang originally wanted to suppress this memorial, but now this memorial may also inspire Emperor Qinzong to take out the memorial from his arms and say calmly: "I just received the Jingdong East Road Defense Envoy, Shi Chuan Shi Changqing's memorial, and reported that King Zhao Shixia of Yan donated all his property and equipment to serve the king's army, and called on the people of the world to resist the difficulties of the country. Shi Changqing asked the court to commend the King of Yan, and begged the court to appoint the King of Yan as the Jingdong King's Army Supervisor."

There was a silence in the hall.

Everyone is an old bureaucrat, and everyone knows what Shi Chuan's action means. Originally, he received the memorial a few days ago, but everyone thought that Shi Chuan had not received the news of Qin Zong's succession. At this time, the world was in chaos, and there was no clue to the transmission of the post road, and officials from all over the country were worried about "debuting memorials". There was a time difference in the delivery of the memorials of the court, and it was forgivable that Shi Chuan could not receive the news that the new emperor ascended the throne, so everyone regarded his memorials as one of the actions of bombarding the Taoist king. Thinking that when he received the news of the new emperor ascended the throne, it would probably stop.

But this memorial shows that Shi Chuan's behavior of forcing the palace was not for Qinzong. He had his own emperor's standards in his heart, and he was now building momentum for his sister husband.

The ministers were thinking about how to deal with it. Li Gang sighed and continued, "This memorial was transmitted to the Ministry of War because the memorial said that the King of Kings on the East Road of Jingdong had sent troops. Shi Changqing said in the memorial: The King of Yan is following the army, but the King of Yan is kind and never interferes with the command of the generals. He was worried that the King of Yan's army would not be successful, so no one could follow suit, which led to the incomplete military armor of the Kings on the world, so he begged the court to commend it."

After pausing, Li Gang continued: "Your Majesty, Shi Changqing claimed that he had brought an army of 300,000 and would join Zhang Shuye on the east and west roads of Beijing, and then continue north... Your Majesty, it is difficult for the King of Yan to destroy his family and destroy the country. Now that the Jin army is at the city, the King of Yan is heading north and His Majesty wants to go southwest. How can this matter block the world's long mouth?"

The old prime minister Bai Shizhong whispered: "How can I defend it if I can't resist the Hu cavalry? Now that the Jin people's soldiers and horses have not yet fallen, the south gate can be opened from the ground. When the Jin people's soldiers and horses arrive, the four cities will be out of nowhere. At that time, I can't even leave.

Now.”

Li Gang retorted loudly: "Your Majesty, is there any city in the world stronger than Tokyo? Look, the Bianliang pheasant packs are strict, the troughs are towering, and the city walls are thick. Even if there are not many soldiers and horses, you can still guard the city. Moreover, the south gate of Bianliang is connected to the canal. Although the canal is frozen, the flowers are about to bloom. Once the canal is frozen, our emperor Song navy can directly lead to the south gate. How can the Jin people seal it?

Such a terrain is conducive to defense and siege. Moreover, the ancestral temples of ancestors of all dynasties are here.

There are still millions of residents left behind? Your Majesty, just encourage the soldiers, comfort the people's hearts, and everyone works together, and the capital is solid! And the army of kings will soon come to fight, and then the opportunity for a large counterattack will come."

Zhao Huan was a little confident after saying this - the most important thing is: as long as he leaves Bianliang, if he passes the commanding army and takes advantage of the opportunity, the throne will not belong to him.

Qinzong repeatedly praised Li Gang for his reasonableness, and asked who would preside over the next state affairs. This statement was actually a tendency: Shitong several memorials were deaf, but because they affected everyone's interests, it was really difficult to answer, so he pretended not to hear it, and delayed it if he could. When the Jin soldiers retreated, the emperor was still the emperor, and the subject was still the subject, and then he saw how Shitong jumped.

As soon as the Qinzong problem came out, the atmosphere in the hall became even more dull. The ministers tried their best to shrink and hid their bodies in the corridor column or behind their colleagues. For a moment, a needle in the hall could be heard even if it fell to the ground.

Li Gang was determined to wear it when he was studying and continued to force him to force him. He made a comment: "In normal times, ministers enjoyed the rich salaries of the court, and they must show their skills in times of crisis. Although Jinbai and Li were scholars and did not understand military affairs, they could use their great reputation to inspire the soldiers, and the results of the battle would be brilliant!"

Bai Shizhong, Li Bangyan was furious and asked Li Gang sternly: "As the Minister of War, why don't you lead troops to fight?"

This is what Li Gang wants, and he resolutely replied: "I am not a cowardly and mediocre person, but I am a little bit light. If I can grant power to govern the army.

Ensure competence and repay Your Majesty with your life.”

Qinzong was forced to helplessly and asked the two prime ministers what other high-ranking positions were vacant? The prime minister replied: The position of Shangshu and Right Prime Minister is still free.

Therefore, Qinzong appointed Li Gang as the right chief of the Shangshu,

The remaining in Tokyo, Li Dui, the Tongzhi Privy Council, was appointed as the deputy, and Nie Shan was the transferee of the army, assisting Li Gang as the memorial of Shi Chuan, cough cough, Shi Changqing has memorial! What are they saying? Yes, state affairs and danger are not memorials to deal with the Jin people

Then wait until the Jin people retreated before reading it to me.

At this time, Shi Chuan's vanguard had arrived in Qizhou (Jinan). At this time, he would continue to go north and enter the southern tributary of the Yellow River, downstream to the Anli Army, and then attack the Jin soldiers' rear route. To the south, he would enter the east and west routes of Beijing to meet with Zhang Shuye's army. There was no clear explanation for Shi Chuan, so the front army stationed in Qizhou to rest and wait for the follow-up troops to follow.

At noon, Shichun and Zhao Shixia rode into the city. The two of them were leisurely in their expressions. Zhao Shixia asked casually: "What memorial is it?"

Shi Chuan replied: "I guess the fourth memorial has arrived in Tokyo at this time." Zhao Shixia was at stake and could not help but feel calm. He asked: "Even if a stone is thrown into a dry well, you can hear the movement. Four consecutive memorials can't be heard at all. The court is really unfamiliar with ancient wells."

"There is no slight tide in the stagnation, which means that the stimulus is not enough - let Lin Chong go south tomorrow and meet Zhang Shuye." Shi Chuan grinned: "It seems that I thought the court would divide and disintegrate me in the court, such as appointing another commander of the King of Jingdong Road, depriving me of my position and causing trouble."

Zhao Shixia asked in surprise: "I thought so at the beginning, and I was always worried that my brother was too radical... But why did the court not make a decision for a long time?"

"Qin Hui!" Shi Chuan replied: "Now the high-ranking officials and nobles in the court are all cowards, afraid of angering me. But Li Gang is not. He is a courageous and decisive person. Fortunately, Qin Hui is a member of the Fangsi under the Ministry of War, and Qin Hui is a guy who is very good at leveraging the power and scheming people's hearts. If Li Gang wants to touch me, Qin Hui will definitely tell him: The 30,000 thunder and fire soldiers on Jingdong Road were born in Haizhou, and were trained by the 3,000 thunder and fire soldiers in Haizhou. Those thunder and fire soldiers were all non-commissioned officers, and they only followed my orders. As for the generals in the army, they were all the heroes of Liangshan at the time, and I was surrendered by one hand and could not win over them at all. Therefore, even if he appointed outsiders to divide and undermine me, it would only anger me, but the army could not take away one soldier or another."

"Uncle Zhang Ye" Zhao Shixia said in a deep thought.

"Zhang Shuye is worried about me now." Shi Chuan replied with a smile: "Although he is on par with me and has an army on hand, he had agreed with me to join the book together. Now that I have been firing fires, he remains silent. He probably knows that I have no way out and can only rush forward. At this time, he is most worried that I will enter the East and West Beijing Road, and use the army to disarm him and strengthen himself, and this is exactly my worry.

I am worried that I will leave Jingdong East Road! If the court intends to attack me, it will ask Zhang Shuye to enter Jingdong East Road and take over my territory. You know, under the system of political and educational integration, the senior officials will kill people. After I left, Jingdong East Road did not compete with Zhang Shuye, and maybe the officials will obediently obey Zhang Shuye's command. Zhang Shuye is a foolish and loyal person. The court ordered him to cut off my food supply, and he would do it, and then our army would be left to the hands of the Jin people because of no food.

So, I asked Lin Chong to go south tomorrow and bring Zhang Shuye to Beijing together. If he doesn't move, I will dismiss his troops by force."

After stopping, Shi Chuan sighed and said, "What do you think this is called? We want to save the country from difficulties. Our biggest enemy is our emperor and colleagues."

After Shi Chuan said this, he paused for a moment. Zhao Shixia immediately replied: "I remember the constitutional chapters of the monarchy and ministers you told me. Power has a marginality. The monarch is in charge of the way of the monarch, and the ministers are in charge of the way of the subject. Everyone must keep their own margins and not expand their power infinitely. I think this proposition is very good.

When will the brother announce it?"

Shi Chuan smiled calmly and replied: "Have you heard of Tian Ji's horse racing story? Race up the horse. The middle horse and Dan Tian Ji used these established rules to take advantage of it. For thousands of years, people have regarded Tian Ji as wise, so

Since ancient times, those who break the rules are considered smart and those who abide by the rules are considered stupid. Therefore, it is meaningless to announce the constitutional chapters of the monarch and ministers. Your Taizu said that "governing the world with scholars and officials", and no one will destroy them.

It can be seen that the rules there are dead. If the power structure is not broken, no matter how good the rules are, they will be destroyed. So I am not in a hurry to announce the rules. I will let everyone know the harm of breaking the rules to them, and let the people of the world participate in the restriction of power. So it doesn’t matter who is the emperor. In the future, the emperor’s position will be a human-shaped stamp that enjoys a happy life. There will be no more trouble. Because you are my sister’s husband, this position will be cheaper. Haha,

Don't worry, I won't compete with you."

Zhao Shixia smiled awkwardly, and she was both relaxed and a little irritable.

The "Shi Chuan's Constitutional Chapter" mentioned by Shi Chuan belongs to the fifth memorial. In this memorial, Shi Chuan is in the name of restoring the political atmosphere of Renzong's era, and clearly requires severe punishment of treacherous ministers in the court. Furthermore, the original requirement is to deprive Wang Anshi of the title and punish Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng, Li Bangyan, Wang Fu, Zhu Mianli and other treacherous ministers talk about punishing treacherous ministers, Shi Chuan's topic extended the establishment of a mechanism to prevent the emperor from trusting and reusing the treacherous ministers. This naturally put forward the treaty-style constraints of "each following his own way".

This memorial was still delivered in a clear manner, and the memorial was shocked when it came out. Zhang Shuye was closest to Qizhou. When he received the memorial, he sighed and said to Zuo Gu: "I promoted Shi Changqing back then, but because of his reckless personality, he just wanted him to serve as a city to catch a thief! Unfortunately, Tong Guan's guy"

Zhang Shuye’s opinion was not consistent with his aides. The secretary in charge said, “Sir, I think Shi Changqing’s words are justified. The current disaster is not the Jin people but the official family. The official family has already admitted this point by his own crime. Unfortunately, the official family has always been 'responsible for mistakes sincerely and never regrets'. After the Liao Dynasty, if the official family repents a little, how could there be the difficulty of Yanyun? If the official family repents after Yanyun, how could the Jin people be at the city today?

This time, Shi Changqing hits the current problems with one sentence. It is impossible to expect the official family to repent. In this way, even if we fight back the Jin people and continue to do this as the official family, the Jin people will come again. What should we do then?"

The staff used by Zhang Shuye are not simple! The former staff member was the famous minister Li Ruoshui, and this staff member also looked at the problem deeply - what he said was basically true historical facts. After surrendering to the Jin people, the Taoist king and son felt that the contempt of the ministers humiliated them, so they went to provoke the Jin people again, and finally destroyed the country and the people.

Basically, most people in the Song Dynasty saw this clearly at that time, but since childhood, they received education from the integration of politics and education, the emperor was the son of heaven, a god, and a dragon, so they did not dare to impeach the emperor, or they did not dare to say it after thinking about it. Only when they were scruples, he said everything that everyone wanted to say. Naturally, all the officials and gentry who read Mingfa memorials were worried.

Since then, followers are easy to find, but Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are hard to find. After the first shot was fired, although the court was deaf and dumb during this period, the officials had begun to be stupid and stupid, but most officials only knew how to raise questions and blame, but did not know how to solve them. The "restraint of the monarch and ministers" mentioned by Shi Tong seemed to pierce a layer of window paper, and everyone suddenly realized - yes, in the future, if you don't change the emperor, you will also restrict the emperor from appointing traitorous ministers to harm the country

Zhang Shuye also agreed with the aide’s statement. But there were some things that the aide could say, but he couldn’t say. Zhang Shuye sighed and changed the subject and said: “Yesterday, Changqing sent news that his army was about to enter the country and would go to Puzhou through the Liangshanbo area of ​​Yunzhou. It seems that his target is Puyang in Daming Prefecture - this guy is so bold!”

The staff exclaimed: "Daming Mansion has fallen, with hundreds of thousands of Jin soldiers around him. Shi Changqing dared to take Puyang directly, so he was fearless!"

Zhang Shuye sighed and said, "Shi Changqing wrote several memorials in succession, all of which were reported to the court, but he did not mention the new emperor at all. It seems that he did not intend to recognize the new emperor. The court has been deaf and dumb until now, probably because there is no progress in peacekeeping with the Jin people. When the peacekeeping with the Jin people is settled, it will be the time for the court to start dealing with Shi Changqing - you said, at this moment, should we help Li Xinhuang or help me?"

The staff took a deep breath and said sternly: "Sir, if the court negotiates peace, the people in Bianliang City will be pigs and dogs. In this way, although the Song Dynasty will survive, the people will be lost, and even if they survive, they will die. At that time, those who are ambitious will rise and fall, and the country will be divided into pieces. The Jin people will eventually get this country. But if this helps Shi Changqing - although Changqing's words are rebellious or there is a saying of being unjust, he will be respectful of the emperor after all, but only ask for another emperor. And this move may be anger. If the new emperor agrees to the request, he will not be able to escape the merit of saving the country forever. If the country and the world are preserved, he will be in this thought."

Zhang Shuye smiled silently: "But you forget that the descendants of Taizong are most taboo to talk about Taizu's descendants. This time Shi Changqing was exposed to him. He had no way out. Taizong's descendants would never compromise with him. And Shi Changqing's army entered the country, hum, I guess he was not at ease with me. Maybe the leading general had already received a secret will and wanted to seize the east and west roads of my capital. So I was thinking about whether to stop him from entering? Or—huh?”—or!!...
