The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Chapter 42 Revealing the Secret

After Zhang Bangchang returned to Beijing, he was immediately received by the emperor, but he did not persuade the emperor to abdicate, but told the emperor the secret he got from the Jin envoy Wang Shi. This secret was about King Zhao Shi, and Wang Shi continued

Jiuyi bragged to him that as long as he sent Zhang Bangchang to the stable and accomplished this, he could be promoted.

Seeing that Wang Wei was drunk, Zhang Bangchang wanted to make some talk from him, so he carefully expressed his worries. If the matter did not work, he would not be able to say that his position as the Daozai was not guaranteed, and he might be killed. Wang Wei was so angry.

Laughing, he said he didn't have to worry about this matter. No matter whether the matter succeeded or failed, he would not be killed, and the position of Dazai was his. Zhang Bangchang was shocked and hurriedly asked for the reason. Only then did Wang Wei tell the truth about the matter...

"What did Wang Qi say?" This matter was too bizarre and couldn't help asking when he saw Xi.

"Then Wang Shi said, your Prince Yan of the Song Dynasty is so powerful. Our Jin Dynasty suffered great losses many times in his hands. Not only in Taiyuan, but the King of Yan also secretly colluded with the remnants of the Liao Kingdom to send Hedong Army to help them seize the occupation.

After Xijing, the Jin Dynasty failed to capture Yunzhou according to the alliance and returned it to the Song Dynasty, which led to the two countries' rifts!" Shunzi said.

"Stop talking!" Jianxi looked at the prince and smiled. This matter was indeed true, it was done by the prince.

"Wang Wei said again, the reason why they dared to go south again was because the King of Yan was transferred back to the capital by the emperor from Hedong, and there was a lack of a strong enemy. He wanted to be a good person and wanted to get rid of him completely, but he didn't expect that he would be a mess in the middle.

, He led his troops to defeat them in Ligudu!" Shunzi continued.

"This Wang Wei is right, how could it be bad for the prince?" Jianxi looked at the prince and said strangely, but the prince just smiled and signaled Shunzi to continue.

"At that time, Zhang Bangchang was also very strange. He asked Wang Wei that since the King of Yan was there, why did they ask themselves to persuade the emperor to abdicate? Wang Wei said that when the prince was in Hedong, he rescued Wanyan Xie, the commander-in-chief of the Jin Kingdom.

The two had a good relationship and had revealed their desire to be independent, so when they could not fight for a long time, Xi also wrote a letter to the prince, and as long as they ceded the north of the Yellow River to the Jin Kingdom, he would help the prince ascend the throne!"

"This... isn't this a thing that is Wuying? Then Zhang Bangchang is a pig's brain, and he believes it too?" Jianxi was shocked. This was Wuying's thing.

"Zhang Bangchang didn't believe it very much. But Wang Shi said that the prince defeated the Jin army with 40,000 people, but now there are more than 100,000 people in his hands, but why did he stop making peace with the Jin army? It was because the prince agreed to the slightest.

Opinion: Zong Han's withdrawal from Hedong is to give way to the prince's old subordinates and let them go south to meet with the prince, preparing to carry out military rebellion and let the emperor give way. However, the prince did not want to be famous for killing his brother and seizing the throne, so Zhang Bangchang returned to Beijing to persuade him.

When the emperor abdicated, he refused to agree on the bench. The prince joined forces with the Jin army to attack Bianjing and forcibly seized the throne. Therefore, his position as the throne of the priest was kept for him!" Shunzi said.

"Where did you get these?" Zhao Qiong asked after drinking a glass of wine.

"Prince, my subordinate used a nail in the palace. A friend of his was on duty in the palace when Zhang Bangchang reported to the emperor. So I heard it in detail!" Shunzi poured wine for the prince and said.

"Has it been verified?" Zhao Qi asked again.

"The prince has verified it, and I secretly bribed Wang Wei's follower. What he said is basically consistent with what Zhang Bangchang said!" Shunzi said that when the prince set up an intelligence department, it was stipulated that there should be no one channel for collecting intelligence, but multiple channels were required to go through.

verify.

"No matter whether it is true or not, the emperor will just believe it!" Jianxi saw the prince silently, but just ate the duck silently, and wrapped the prince with a lotus leaf cake several times.

"Mr. Xi is wrong. Now is the most dangerous time!" Shunzi shook his head and said.

"How could it be? Now the emperor favors the prince very much and has given him a jade belt. He has praised the prince for his bravery and good fighting in front of his ministers many times. In the face of danger of saving the country, as long as the emperor does not move the prince, who can do anything to the prince!"

Hey argued.

"Jianxi, you have to learn more from Shunzi in this regard. Shunzi, tell me the reason and see if we think the same!" Zhao Qi knocked Jianxi with chopsticks and smiled.

"After the emperor recalled the prince from Zhaozhou, he secretly sent Tang Ke to Zhaozhou. There must be two purposes: one is to stabilize the morale of the army, and the other is to negotiate with the Jin people. The reason why he did not attack the prince was just a secret defense is that

Because the prince has lost to the Jin army in a row and has a high reputation, especially among the people, which is very prestigious, so he is just using it to win over the people. The other is that he is worried that if the army in Zhaozhou knows that the prince is convicted, it will cause a mutiny! Therefore, the emperor now

We must reach a peace agreement with the Jin people as soon as possible. After the Jin army retreats, the troops in Hebei will be dismissed before they will be dealt with!" Shunzi said.

"If the emperor believes that the prince is treason and rebellion, why wait until the Jurchen retreats? You can take down the prince now and then tell the world. Wouldn't he be quick? Isn't he afraid that the prince will rebel first?" Jianxi said with a lip silence, obviously praising the prince.

Shunzi was dissatisfied.

"This... I think the emperor also finds that something is strange. He thinks that Zhang Bangchang will deal with the prince based on the words of a Jin man after drinking. It will definitely be difficult to convince the public. If it is not done well, the incident of Fuque writings will happen again, so he must have wanted to wait.

Grasp the real evidence of the so-called collaboration with the enemy and then deal with it!" Shunzi said uncertainly.

"Yes, the emperor is waiting for the letter from Xi to me, otherwise he will not be able to block the world's mouths!" Zhao Qiong drank the wine and said heavily on the table.

Shunzi's words solved the doubts that had troubled Zhao Qi for a long time. He knew very well that he was in the form of his life. In the emperor's brother's heart, one of the people who threatened his throne the most was his father Zhao Ji, and the other was himself. He believed that

His threat to him was even greater than that of the Jurchens. Since he ascended the throne, he had already taken a series of measures against him.

This kind of defense reached its peak after he lifted the Taiyuan siege. When the emperor knew that he could expel Zong Han from Daizhou and regain Yanmen, he not only ordered Li Gang not to support him, but instead forced him to withdraw his troops.

, disbanded the reinforcements in the river, and then took advantage of his reluctance to leave family affection and forced himself to return to Beijing with the princess and the queen mother as a qualifier.

After returning to Beijing, if there was no second invasion of the Jurchens, his fate would be better, a famous Xiaoyao King, and to the worse, he would be confined to the royal palace like his father. After the Jin army invasion, he was strongly ruled.

The resistance to the Jin Dynasty made Zhao Huan feel uncontrollable and he was already in a murderous mood. After the Jurchens proposed to take him as their magistrate, he sent him to the Jin camp even though he knew that there was no one available in the court, so he only had to arrest him this time.

I will never let myself go again...
