The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Now the Song Dynasty has set off such a political storm because of Zhao Huan's return. Zhao Qi was surprised and helpless. He thought that he had worked hard to govern the country and improve people's livelihood over the years, and achieved great success in the shortest time.

Song's rise again, and no one in the world said good, at least he would not rebel. But this incident sounded a wake-up call for him - the enemy's desire to perish me! But he didn't believe that he had just escaped from the cage

Zhao Huan dared to challenge his authority before he even set foot on the land of the Song Dynasty. No matter how stupid he is, he still has a limit. The most important thing at this moment is to find out the truth.

Zhao Qi and his two confidants analyzed for a long time. Although they did not find out the mysterious behind-the-scenes driver, they finally got a clue. This incident has threatened the security of his throne and shaken the foundation of the country's rule. It must not be easy.

If you let it go, you must find out the purpose. Because this matter may involve the royal family and ministers in the court, it is not appropriate to conduct it publicly, and the power of the Imperial City Department will still be based on the secret investigation.

Zhao Zhenxing continued to investigate the eunuchs in the palace, especially those present on the same day and who they had come into contact with, what they said, where they had been, and where they had been; Li Jun mobilized personnel to focus on surveillance and monitoring.

The designated suspects were secretly investigated and incited the students of the Chamber of Commerce and Imperial College to write letters, and at the same time, they ordered local intelligence stations to visit local prefectures to obtain the source of the news of the matter. Who had close contacts with before the letter was published, and the key groups were the earliest

A group of local officials and military generals who wrote letters hope to find clues from their origins and interactions...

In recent days, the government and the public have been discussing the matter of "the emperor gave up the throne". However, several prime ministers did not express their opinions, nor did they hold a special meeting on this matter to discuss how to deal with the current chaos. It seems that they are indulging in the development of the incident.

It is suspected that their ambiguous attitude has aroused the dissatisfaction of the "royalists". Some officials secretly began to collude to jointly impeach their infidelity. Some radicals even took advantage of the darkness of the night and chiseled Chen Gongbo off the door of Xu Jingheng's family.

The lion's eyes at the door of the mansion were blurred by Zhao Ren's wife's sedan chair.

In fact, it is not the fault of several priests. They think they are loyal to the emperor, but now they are in a joint letter with everyone and have fallen behind. What makes them anxious is that the current tense is developing very fast and the situation is becoming more and more serious.

, but the emperor's attitude was unclear, which prevented them from taking decisive measures to deal with it. They could only observe changes and always grasp the progress of the incident.

But today the prime ministers decided not to wait. The Liao king would go ashore in Dengzhou soon. The royalists had already made a statement. They wanted to intercept the Liao king along the way and firmly prevent him from entering Beijing. If they really succeeded,

A political storm will be inevitable, so everyone decided to "remind" the emperor in today's court discussion!

"Secret Chen, what's going on in peace?" Zhao Qi asked, looking at the several stern faces.

"Your Majesty, the King of Liao has returned to the country. I have reached a consensus with the Jin Kingdom on some issues in accordance with the proposal. The Song and Jin Kingdom are brothers and have equal status. Both sides do not pay tribute to each other and set up courts on the borders of the two countries to conduct transactions.

; Our army retreated to the north of the ceasefire line to lift the hostility. As for the issue of the ownership of the five ministries and Helandian, we are discussing. We are just asking Your Majesty to tell you." Chen Gongbo hurriedly answered when he saw the emperor ask.

"Well, now the Jin Kingdom sent the King of Liao to the rebels of our army. Everyone thought it was appropriate to deal with the return of the five countries to the Song Dynasty?" Zhao Qi nodded and asked.

"Your Majesty. I think our army has shown sincerity from the Jin land to the south bank of the Yalu River. We should not make any concessions. We can accept the five countries as the land of our great Song and one state." Chen Gongbo said first.

.

"Your Majesty. I think it is inappropriate. The Five Kingdoms Ministry is a branch of the Jurchen people. Although its leader A Shu has always taken the responsibility of overthrowing the rule of Wanyan tribe, he has not left the scope of internal affairs. If we rashly accept it, it will easily lead to other vassal states.

Uneasy, worried that the rebels of their country will follow their actions, so they still need to be cautious about accepting the ministries of the five countries." Ju Anguo, Minister of Rites, put forward an objection.

"Your Majesty, I think if the Five Kingdoms Departments return to Song at this time, the disadvantages are more than good!" Xu Jingheng said, "The Five Kingdoms Departments and Wanyan Departments are enemies of the world, and the power of the two departments is incompatible with water and fire. If they return to Song, they will definitely lose their power.

If we attack forcefully, our army had to launch expeditionary support again and again. This will not only restrain most of our army's troops, but also consume huge military expenses. The long-term time will inevitably lead to the decline of our Song Dynasty's national strength and repeat the mistakes of the Western Xia Dynasty!"

"Well, the officials are right. Song and Jin are in the peace talks and it is not easy to overstimulate them, but the five ministries must also stay in Helan, otherwise the Baozhou will not be protected!" Several people said it well, Zhao Zhen thought.

I want to say.

"Your Majesty wants to consolidate Baozhou with Helandian and Sinmidao as the basis, and that is, he has controlled the estuary of the Yalu River and obtained a bridgehead for attacking from the sea. He does not have to rely on Goryeo in everything, and the five ministries will become us.

The Allied Army can restrain the Jin Kingdom and threaten Goryeo!" Zhao Ren said.

"Yes, that's exactly what I mean. When we first discussed with the Jin Kingdom, we had room for space. We just need to make good use of it and the problem can be properly solved!" Zhao Xiao said with a smile.

"Oh, Your Majesty is wise. At that time, we only promised that the Jurchens could mediate with the Ministry of Five Kingdoms, but did not agree to return Helandian to him and guaranteed that the Ministry of Five Kingdoms would withdraw its troops, so it was not considered a breach of contract!" Chen Gongbo immediately remembered the initial discussion when he first discussed.

There is indeed such a thing that praises the emperor's wiseness, but he can't help but sigh in his heart that His Majesty is such a damn thief, who has already left a foreshadowing for today's dispute.

"Haha, I just kept my mind!" Zhao Qiong said modestly, "Now the Jin Dynasty is very clear about our relationship with the five ministries. I understand that if we want the five ministries to give up their laziness, we have to nod, so they

It's just a matter of face. As long as Helandian is still considered the territory of the Jin Kingdom, others will not care about it. Therefore, we just need to let the Jin Kingdom agree to give the five ministries full autonomy in Helandian, and we must retain the right to supervise!

”

"Your Majesty has understood that the five ministries in Helandian can collect and allocate taxes and retain their own armed forces. The Jin Dynasty only has sovereignty over Helandian, but cannot dispatch officials and troops, but

The five ministries exercise management rights. The five ministries only need to recognize themselves as citizens of the Jin Kingdom, which does not violate their opposition to the Wanyan Ministry’s purpose, and we can protect them in a legitimate manner." Chen Gongbo said.

"Well, you will be worried about these things here!" Zhao Qi nodded and said, "I will give it to them myself, so they will bargain for the specifics."

"Your Majesty, now the outside world is rumored that Your Majesty wants to give way to the King of Liao, which has caused a large-scale commotion from all walks of life and the people's hearts are unstable. Please also ask Your Majesty to issue an order to clarify this matter as soon as possible, to face the sound and stabilize the hearts of the military and civilians!" Chen, who had not spoken for a long time, said nothing.

Dong finally finished talking about the peace talks, and he was impatient to speak.

"I already know this, I wonder what you all think?" Zhao Qie glanced at everyone in the hall and asked.

"Your Majesty, I think Your Majesty cannot abdicate!" Xu Jingheng said first.

"Your Majesty, I will all agree. Your Majesty must not abdicate!" Everyone in the palace said with a kneeling down and said.

"Well, I heard that someone wants to be unfavorable to the Liao King, is there any such thing?" Zhao Qi asked with a vague snorting, raising his hand to let everyone get up.

"Your Majesty, yes!" Zhang Shuye, the Minister of Justice, stepped forward and replied, "Now the students of the Imperial College have contacted the students of various prefectures, prefectures and counties in the west of Beijing to intercept the Liao King on the road. The spies of the Ministry of Justice have found that a big merchant had conspired to buy the murderer.

We are preparing to assassinate the Liao King on the way, and there seems to be some local garrisons involved in it, and the situation is critical!"

"Mr. Chen, Zhao Ren, you must restrain the army. The King of Liao is not bad, but you two are asking!" Zhao Qi turned to the Minister of War Chen Guoting and Privy Councilor Zhao Ren said solemnly.

"I obey the order!" Both of them were shocked by the emperor's expressions, and they hurriedly went out and answered in unison.

"I think this matter is becoming more and more intense, and it seems to have left the scope of advisory advice. What do you think?" Zhao Qi waved his hand and asked the two of them in the list and asked again.

"Your Majesty said very well. I think this matter seems to be someone planning behind the scenes and using public opinion to do something wrong, so I ask Your Majesty to make a quick decision to mobilize military troops to suppress it, so as not to be out of control!" As soon as Zhao Qi finished speaking, Zhang Shuye took a look.

He made a statement and, as an important official of the previous dynasty, expressed his attitude, and firmly supported the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I think you should use troops carefully. The situation is not yet clear. The people who are walking ahead are the people, students, even local officials and military soldiers. They are all loyal to Your Majesty. They are just worried that Your Majesty will be too aggressive when he abdicated.

Wherever, His Majesty only needs to issue an order to calm the matter down, so that the people behind the scenes cannot borrow power!” Obviously, Juanguo did not want the emperor to abdicate, but he did not agree to resolve the matter with force.

"Your Majesty, I also think that comfort should be the best way to resolve this matter, and it is not advisable to use rash weapons. Now the people's will, those sluts cannot shake Your Majesty!" Chen Gongbo said.

"Oh, I'm afraid I can't control this matter!" Zhao Qi suddenly sighed, "When I succeeded to the throne, I was questioned, thinking that I was coercive to the emperor and seize the throne and brother's position. And I took over the throne. And I

Dabao was forced by the situation that day and had to do it. Now he has been in charge of the government for more than ten years and feels tired and exhausted. The King of Liao has returned to the country. I should abdicate and give way to the wise. To calm the doubts of the day, I can do it.

Give up your title and retire, farm and farm, go out to sea to see the world, and be a people who are indifferent to the world!"

"Your Majesty must not be willing to retreat, and the Song Dynasty cannot be without Your Majesty!" The emperor's words shocked everyone in the palace and were shocked. Xu Jingheng reacted first and knelt down and said.

"Your Majesty's succession is the return of everyone. Now he abandons the subjects of the Song Dynasty, so why should I cherish this..." Chen Dong said as he rushed towards the Longzhu closest to him, and wanted to advise him for death... (To be continued)
