The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

The negotiations between the two sides were like a shrew quarreling. It was until June, and they were still arguing over the terms that could not be concluded. The chief representatives of both sides seemed to be tired of them and handed over the negotiations to their subordinates.

, asked them to come up with a charter and then talk. On this day, Zhao Ren received a report that the Jin Dynasty peace talks Xi Gunai wanted to make an appointment with him for an important matter.

"Haha, Lord Zhao, there is good news today!" As soon as the two of them sat down, Xi Gunai bowed with a smile on his face.

"Oh, has your country agreed to our plan?" Zhao Ren replied and said in surprise.

"Mr. Zhao was joking. My emperor also knew that the two countries had been fighting for many years, and it was inevitable that they could not relieve their resentment and some misunderstandings. Therefore, my lord wanted to send some royal families stranded in our country to show his sincerity!" Xi Gunishi waved his hand

Say.

"This is really a good thing!" Zhao Ren was stunned to look at Zhao Zhong beside him, and he looked confused. The news was too sudden. Exchange of prisoners was a topic that both sides wanted to avoid. Now the Jin Kingdom is unilaterally trying to send back the situation.

The captured royal ministers made them a little at a loss and couldn't figure out what they were selling.

"This is the list. Please take a look at it first, so you can be prepared!" Xi Gunai said with a smile, and his entourage immediately handed over the list. Seeing the faces of the two peacekeepers of the Song Dynasty suddenly changed, he felt relieved and secretly thought that he was also very nervous.

Gao Xing, the descendants of the Aguda family are indeed not ordinary people. This move turns passive to active in an instant, which caught the Southern Dynasty off guard and turned the situation around.

"Crown Prince Zhao Xie, talented man Di and daughter Roujia, son-in-law Cai Lingyu, Sun Fu, Wang Ruochong, Zhang Wei, Bai E..." Zhao Ren had seen it, but there was no one they valued the most.

He asked: "Why will the King of Liao not return the list again?"

"Mr. Zhao. The Prince of Tianshui has been ill recently, and it is now the hot summer. It is not advisable to travel far away and can only stay in the capital for a while. Concubine De was also on the list of return. But she was not worried about the Prince of Tianshui, so she took the initiative to stay and serve the emperor!"

Learning about ancient times means saying the truth.

"So that's it!" Zhao Ren nodded, but he also understood in his heart what was wrong. It was obvious that you refused, but you could understand it even if you thought about it. It was impossible to get the ace out first without explaining anything.

"I have to report this good news to my emperor immediately. What about it?" The sudden good news made Zhao Zhong unable to make a judgment. He could only tell the emperor that he had decided, and he bowed and smiled.

"Okay, well, let's stop here today and talk to you later, but we have to prepare early. They have already set off from Shangjing five days ago!" Xi Gunai said as he winked at Zong Xian beside him.

"Two sirs, go slowly, I have a reluctance!" Seeing that the two of the Southern Dynasty were about to leave, Zong Xian politely said.

"Oh. What are the instructions?" Zhao Ren asked while stopping.

"The sage said: Filial piety is the first in everything. The Song Dynasty governs the country with filial piety, and we should know the truth. When we traveled far away to Emperor Taizong, the eldest prince Zongqing is still stranded in the Central Plains and cannot be filial in front of the bed. Children should not be filial in front of the tomb.

.” Zong Xian said with a shaking head.

"Well, this is forgiven, but it is of great importance. I am not allowed to take the position of a small position, so I need to discuss and ask my Majesty to decide. But I will tell Your Majesty what you ask for!" Zhao Ren said, and he suddenly understood in his heart.

As the emperor said, there is no free lunch in the world. The Jurchens actually put those people back in exchange for Zong Qing, not for nothing.

But this trick is also poisonous. You can't refuse this kind of good intention. If you don't refuse, you have to pay the price. But this price is something they don't want to pay, so they can only get over it first and then make a mistake. They are even more puzzled

It was Zong Qing, who saw that Zhao Ren had neither a great genius nor a general who could win a decisive victory thousands of miles away. However, the new Jurchen emperor wanted to replace people at all costs, which made people feel strange...

In fact, Zong Qing is really related to the major things Wanyan Tan wants to do. The system he was going to replace was a system similar to the three provinces and six ministries in Liao, Song and other countries. The three provinces refer to the Shangshu Province, the Secretariat, and the Menxia Province, and the Six ministries refer to the officials.

,House, Etiquette, Soldier, Criminal, and Worker. At the same time, the three divisions and three public auxiliary systems are also implemented. The three divisions and three public auxiliary systems are generally responsible for the three provincial affairs or the marshal of the capital, and are truly powerful positions in the court. This imitation of the Central Plains dynasty

The new system almost subverted the previous administrative system of the Jin Dynasty.

Wu Qimai absorbed Han ministers and reformed the etiquette system, but he knew that it was very difficult to fully implement it, so he did not spread it out. Instead, in order to take care of the emotions of the old ministers and tribes, the two systems have always been in parallel. One of the important reasons is that

Abolishing the erectile system is equivalent to completely overturning the traditional throne inheritance system of the Jurchens. The brother-in-law and inheritance law followed in the previous implementation of the erectile system is equivalent to becoming a piece of waste paper, which of course will make the "Aguda School" very dissatisfied.

, and it violated the oath of returning the throne to Aguda's descendants.

With the death of the last legal heir of Aguda and his brother, Xiye, when Wu Qimai wanted to continue to implement the Han system, Zong Han, Zong Gan, and Han Li were not allowed to wait for the "Aguda Sect" to be full of wings and the tail was too big to be lost.

They will inevitably be resisted by them, but they will end up in vain and take the opportunity to help Wanyan Dan as the leader of the next generation.

At this time, Wu Qi had a chance to turn the tables, but as his physical condition deteriorated and the battle situation in the Song and Jin dynasties reversed, Zong Qing had no hope of returning to the country, and his heart gradually faded. Wanyan Tan, who grew up in the palace,

He took all this seriously. He had no experience in politics, but he was not stupid, because he knew that he could go to power was just the support of his family. Even if he really succeeded to the throne one day, he would become the doll in their hands.

To break this situation, we must provoke a struggle, and we can use their contradictions to truly gain power.

Wu Qimai's restructuring ended in vain gave Wanyan Dan the opportunity. Now the one in power has been replaced by the Aguda faction. The reform system is the winner of the greatest interests for them. The throne can be passed down from generation to generation among them.

As a result, Zong Gan and Zong Han became his strong backing from staunch opponents. On the contrary, the original Wu Qimai group became opponents, because if the Bojili system was not abolished,

The chances of their becoming the next Animalien Banboshi are quite high. If the system of Erection is to be abolished, the chances of becoming emperor are almost zero unless he rebels.

Therefore, Wanyan Bing's tone was strongly opposed by the "non-Aguda faction" in the court. However, it was not at that time. The defeat of Yanjing led to a sharp decline in the military strength of the Aguda faction and controlled the troops controlled by the non-Aguda faction.

He became the main force in the country, especially the army controlled by the commander Jun Zongben. In order to dismantle them, Wanyan Tan used the trick of brothers to Zongqing and Zongben.

Zong Qing was captured for many years and was detained by the Song Dynasty. It can be said that he suffered a lot and suffered a lot of crimes. If he got him back, he would definitely be grateful to Wanyan Dan. Zong Qing was the eldest son of the emperor, although the throne was lost.

But he should inherit the rights of the family, so there will inevitably be a conflict with the current actual controller. Zong Qing, who is empty-handed, can only rely on the emperor to retrieve it, which will force him to drink poison to quench his thirst and support the emperor's reorganization plan, and then he will settle the situation.

The Aguda faction also built up its own power at the same time.

The ambitious young emperor of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Tan, made a good plan, but the negotiations were still in progress and there was no result. He couldn't hold back. Zong Qing didn't return, so his plan was missing an important link and could not be put into it.

Implementation, so he not only granted the title of the deposed emperor Zhao Huan, but also ordered people to send back some of the captured royal ministers. This plan is perfect. If the Southern Emperor does not accept such kindness, it will confirm his reputation for usurping the throne;

If you accept it, you have to abide by the convention that it is inappropriate to come and not go, and put Zong Qing back!

..............

'Good news' was passed back to the capital, and Zhao Xiao immediately issued an intention to select a place in the capital to build the Liao Palace, promoted Zhao Xie to the Prince of Zhongshan, Roujia to the Prince of the Kingdom of Zheng, and Di was the fourth-rank inner wife, and established the right of Shangshu.

In order to welcome the envoy, Chief Xu Jingheng immediately set out to Yingzhou to welcome everyone back to the country. At the same time, he ordered the release and sent back to Zongqing, notifying the prefectures along the way that the garrison troops would provide care.

"Your Majesty, the Jin Dynasty has appointed Zong Qing to ask for it, and there must be a conspiracy. Now that Your Majesty's edict is released, isn't it too hasty?" Li Gang immediately went to the palace to ask for an audience and remind the emperor.

"Mr. Li, then what do you think should be done? The Jurchens took the initiative to release the royal family, and 12 ministers were requested to repay the Zongqing. You and I know that there must be a reason for this, but everyone thinks it is only profitable.

It's a good deal without compensation. And we shouted every day to welcome the King of Liao and save the captured ministers. Now these people walked to the door but were turned away, afraid that the spits would drown us!" Zhao Qi for a while

Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, the little emperor of Jin actually gave himself a move to retreat as an advance, and pushed himself to the moral court, forcing him to submit.

"This...but I know it was the Jurchen trick, but I still implemented it. Wouldn't it cause endless troubles?" Li Gang was also silent when he heard this. He knew that the emperor was right, but he was unwilling to accept it.

"Haha, Lord Li, don't worry too much. Wanyan Dan summoned Zong Qing to ask for it because he wanted to use him to comfort Wu Qimai's group of people. Another thing is that he is worried that he will use it for us, and it is also related to the reform of the Jin Dynasty's national system.

, This will not hurt us!" Zhao Qiong knew that he was also worried about national affairs and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I am worried that once the Jin Kingdom is replaced by Zong Qing, the peace agreement will be terminated. Isn't it impossible to exchange it for the Liao King?" Li Gang didn't say the second half, but he believed that the emperor could pay attention.

"Mr. Li, you have been dealing with the Jurchens for a year or two. They are greedy and cunning by nature and will never be willing to easily release the Liao King. Wanyan Tan wants to seize power through reform. This is playing with fire. On the surface

It seems to have taken advantage of it, hum..." Zhao Qi said coldly. This deal seems to have lost money, but in fact, it is not necessarily the one who loses in the end...
