The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

After Zhao Huan and Li Gang had a long talk, they didn't know if they had figured it out or were afraid, so they made three consecutive statements on the way back to Beijing. They thanked the emperor for his gratitude for saving him and thanked the emperor for giving up his throne, but they had no longer restored their throne again.

My heart, I wish to follow my promise, and return to my family to be the King of Freedom, and no longer care about national affairs! The news spread, and the direction of the government and the country changed drastically. Everyone praised the King of Liao to understand the great righteousness, and the storm of giving way disappeared invisibly.

On the fifth day of the eighth month, the King of Liao finally arrived in Kaifeng. Emperor Zhao Qi personally led all officials and princes, and the royal family above the Duke went out to welcome him ten miles to meet him. Brothers met and greeted each other. Zhao Qi raised the abdication edict in public and asked his brother to restore the throne. Zhao Huanjian refused.

When the officials were taken back and retreated, Zhao Qiong had no choice but to give up. Then his brothers took a car back to the city together. After entering the city, the people knelt on the streets to greet each other. In this situation, the King of Liao cried and could not speak.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh.

The next day, the emperor issued an order to change Zhao Huan to King of Jin, and add the title of Grand Tutor, and have ten thousand households of food. He could ride a horse in the palace and face the saints without paying homage. He also gave him ten thousand taels of gold and a palace. The former Concubine Zhu was awarded the first rank

The original talented man Di was named the second-ranked imperial wife, and his daughter was named Princess Pingjiang. Zhao Huan then brought his wife and daughter to the palace to express his gratitude, and went to Longde Palace to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager. The father and son were in their hearts

The grudge has not subsided. Although he didn't say a few words, Zhao Ji was so sad when he saw his son like this.

In the blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, and the emperor issued an order to give a banquet on the Daqing Hall that day, to congratulate the King of Jin on his return to China; to celebrate another good harvest this year, and the new varieties introduced were successfully expanded in the Song Dynasty; and to basically end the peace agreement with the Jin Dynasty, two

The country temporarily stopped its war. During the banquet, the ministers recited poems and essays, enjoyed singing and dancing, and were having fun. Zhao Qi looked at the family of the Nanban clan and suddenly found that Zhao Gou, who had always refused to attend such a gathering, was also among them. He forced himself to toast to all the brothers with joy.

, but it is hard to hide its lonely, depressed and frightened expression...

In the past two months, Zhao Gou experienced another ups and downs in his life. In order to regain the throne, he planned for several years and made careful arrangements. When the imperial court advertised that the Liao king in the world was about to return to his country, he felt that the opportunity he had been waiting for was coming.

But before he could take action, rumors of the emperor giving up his throne spread wildly on the streets and alleys. Then the Zhu family took action to win over the business world and wrote a letter asking the emperor to take back the sacred order.

Zhao Gou didn't believe the rumor that the emperor gave way, because if he really wanted to give way, he would never let the Ministry of Works choose a site to build the Liao Palace, otherwise wouldn't he be slapped himself in the face? He knew that with the emperor's shrewdness and plan

He would never do such a stupid thing as hiding his head and showing off his tail. But he thought this storm could be used by him. So Zhao Gou summoned his confidant to plan a series of subsequent royal events.

Zhao Gou is very smart and knows that he is not an opponent in front of attack, so he takes the enemy in a roundabout way and forces him to surrender the throne to Zhao Heng. This is not how kind he wants to help his elder brother, but another

There is an attempt. He knew that Zhao Huan was cowardly and changeable and jealous. If he was restored, he would clean up his second brother, which would cause chaos in the world. He would take the opportunity to take the opportunity to reorganize the court and abolish it.

Destroy Zhao Huan and finally achieve his goal of becoming the leader.

Zhao Gou's actions are very deceptive because he was lyricist and he was hiding behind the scenes, making it difficult for people to find out any bad intentions. There are many people involved this time, so if you want to find him

It is very difficult for a down-and-out prince. However, Zhao Gou's wise man may have a mistake. He underestimated his second brother's IQ and the mysterious team under his command. Just when he thought he had a plan to assassinate Zhao Huan's general.

When facing the emperor, Zhao Gou suddenly found that all the "nails" around him disappeared.

The emperor's abnormal behavior made Zhao Gou realize that his intentions might have been exposed or suspected him. Is he warning himself or demonstrating to himself? Although Zhao Gou thought of this, he was not afraid of the emperor.

It would be impossible to come to him and support him to continue in power! So he decided to take a gamble. The gambling emperor had not yet discovered the secrets of his own foreign banker and his true purpose.

Therefore, Zhao Gou did not stop, but instead took the opportunity to pass on the message to the outside world, and even lived in the village in the name of collecting tenant rent. He did this to tell others that he had a clear conscience, whether you sent someone to monitor or no one monitored him.

It is no different from usual; secondly, he is also afraid that with thousands of guards around him, he still feels more stable. Once there is any change, he can send troops nearby to rescue him.

But the next night when Zhao Gou moved into Zhuangzi, the special operations brigade of the Guards launched a raid on the outer village. They attacked Zhuangzi with extremely hidden actions and were lightning-breaking, and the two people who were still sleeping were still in their sleep.

The head of the guards was captured, and the two armies immediately fought fiercely, but the guards without the leader were not the opponent of the most elite special combat brigade of the Song Dynasty. They were defeated in just half an hour. When they wanted to escape, they found that Zhuangzi had been surrounded.

It's watery and can't be clear.

The guns and cannons rang for half a night, and Zhao Gou, who was only three miles away from the outer village, naturally couldn't sleep all night. In the early morning, he climbed to the shelves in the manor and looked around. He saw that the outer village had been razed to the ground by artillery fire. He sent someone to check it out.

No body or a living person was found, as if tens of thousands of people had evaporated overnight. Zhao Gou understood that the emperor had already understood what he did, and this was a warning to him, and the reason why he did not touch him was that he did not want to be in the King of Liao.

The moment of returning home is intriguing.

Zhao Gou knew that the situation was hopeless, so he returned to the city in panic and drowned his sorrows all day long. At this moment, he had a glimmer of hope, that the killer sent could complete the task, and that there was still a possibility of a turnaround. But the result disappointed him again.

Zhao Huan returned to Beijing and sent a thank-you form as expected, saying in public that he had "give up" and reset. Zhao Gou, who had done all the work, knew that he had lost the bottom this time and never won the throne again.

The only wish in my heart is to hope that the emperor can let him go.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the dust settled. Zong Zhengsi was demoted to Duke of Chu in the name of misconduct of King Kang. His children, wives and concubines were all demoted and moved out of the palace for separate resettlement. Later, news broke out in the harem, the queen Zhu

The eldest son of the emperor Zhao Qian was twelve years old and did not follow the custom of raising the palace, but went to study in the sect. Zhu Yannian, the father-in-law of the country, submitted a report.

He claimed that he was old and wanted to return home to recuperate. The emperor approved the report and gave him a thousand taels of gold and released him. His uncle Zhu Bao went with him to serve his parents...

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

As Zhao Huan returned to the country, the two sides reached a ceasefire. The tiger generals of the aiding Gao army first withdrew from Liaoyang. The other two generals also began to withdraw from Kaizhou and Xuanzhou, and retreated to Baozhou and Helandian areas south of Yalu River to rest and recuperate.

Assist the troops of the five countries to build three cities along the river to defend against the Jin Dynasty's attack.

In June, Zhao Yong suddenly received an order from the Privy Council, saying that the Liao king returned to the country and the emperor wanted to give way to the throne, causing protests from the government and the country. The capital was in turmoil, so he ordered the Lion General and the Leopard General to return to China quickly to strengthen the security. He and the Marine Corps temporarily stayed with Goryeo to deal with the post-war

Matters. Zhao Yong received an order and immediately mobilized warships near the Korean Bay, requisitioned the merchant ships of the Song Dynasty to return to China with two generals, and met with Jin Fushi to hand over the Goryeo city occupied by the Song army.

The Song army has been in Goryeo for almost a year, and Goryeo feels pressure. On the one hand, it is to provide some food and salary for the Song army. On the other hand, after seeing the combat effectiveness of the Song army, Goryeo feels deeply afraid and is worried that they will not be able to rely on it.

Leaving. It was just that someone helped me. As soon as the war stopped, I wanted to drive them away. I couldn't say this. Now the Song army has taken the initiative to withdraw the troops, and Goryeo is of course very happy. The king of the country, Wang Kai, prepared a large number of rewards to the army.

The emperor prepared gifts and sent the prince and Jin Fushi to Bochuan for discussion.

After the Battle of Xijing, the combat troops moved forward, and most of the those stationed in Goryeo were baggage troops. They transported the remaining materials or dealt with them on the spot, and returned the base to Goryeo. Therefore, Xijing, Shunzhou, and Anzhou

The handover work of Xichuan and Bochuan was very smooth. The Song army gradually withdrew also gathered near Baozhou and Shinmi Island to prepare to evacuate by boat, and disputes also arose.

"Master General, your army sang triumphantly to capture Liaoyang City and regained a large area of ​​land. Since we have withdrawn our troops and returned to our country, can we also return the newly acquired land to our country?" Jin Fushi said.

"Where does Lord Jin mean?" Zhao Yong was stunned and asked back. He thought the two sides would have conflicts over the ownership of Baozhou. Now it seems that what Goryeo wants is not Baozhou.

"Master General, the Helandian area north of the Thousand Mile Great Wall and south of the Yalu River has been occupied by our Goryeo a hundred years ago, but it was later taken away by the Jurchens and has not been restored. This time it was recovered by the heavenly soldiers. Please ask for help

Return it together!" Jin Fushi said.

"Mr. Jin's words made me embarrassed. The Laidian area sent troops to capture the five countries and occupied it. Moreover, the Song and Jin countries are negotiating the ownership of this place, and it has not yet been decided, so I cannot overstep the authority of this commander.

!” Zhao Yongyan said, this land had been decided long ago, and he was preparing to be an overseas enclave of the Song Dynasty. He was temporarily put down for the sake of the King of Liao's return to the country smoothly. He did not directly announce his return to the Song Dynasty. It was impossible for Goryeo to want it

, in order not to stimulate Goryeo, he politely refused.

"Oh, your country has withdrawn from all occupied lands north of Yalu River. Are the Jurchens still unwilling to give up on Helan Dian?" Jin Fushi said with some surprise. He knew that in order to welcome the former emperor captured in the Jin Dynasty, the Song Dynasty.

I made great concessions on the land issue, but I refused to concessions on the issue of 未分类 because I wanted to occupy it for a long time. It seemed that it was not easy for me to get it back here.

"Yes, although the Jin Dynasty claimed that although Helandian was occupied by the five countries, they were rebelling against the Jin Dynasty, that is, the internal affairs of them did not have any problem of belonging to other countries. Our country thought it was the old land of the Liao Dynasty.

The Ministry of Five Kingdoms did not recognize the Jin Kingdom. Of course, whoever occupied it belonged to it, so it was difficult to make a conclusion for a while!" Zhao Yong said, his meaning was very clear. He Laidian is now a land without a border, not you said it was you

It's yours...(To be continued...)
