The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

The Song Dynasty was dissatisfied with the peace talks and transferred back the right prime minister of the peace talks Chen Gongbo, and took over as Deputy envoy Zhang Suo, Minister of Rites, and Li Jun, Chief of the Ministry of Rites. Li Jun was not only very unfamiliar to the Jin people, but also to the Jin people.

Officials from the Song Dynasty were also in a state of urgency. Before the two deputy envoys of the Jin Kingdom learned more about the person, they received an order from the domestic authorities to ask the deputy envoy Xing Juzhan to return to the capital to discuss the peace talks.

When Xing Juzhan rushed back to Huining for a long time, he was taken away without even facing the saint. The next day, an imperial edict was issued to Tian Jue, who had been demoted to the governor of the Henghai Army as a famous general, was executed.

The former Left Secretary's Doctor Xi Yi, Hanlin's waiting-to-be-man, and important members of the Liao Party, including Wang Zhi, Gao Fengting, Wang Xiao, Zhao Yixing, Gong Yijian, etc.

The imperial edict was shocked, which made everyone feel that even though the Tian Party led by Tian Jue was temporarily away from the Jin Dynasty's political power center, Wu Shu, Cai Songnian and others still felt worried. They felt that they should do something else.

To end this fierce political struggle, it is to eliminate the roots and eliminate future troubles forever! What is puzzling is that Yuwen Xuzhong, who has been sentenced to death, and Gao Shitan, was not executed, and was still detained in the prison of the Ministry of Justice.

Cai Songnian then recommended Xu Lin as the deputy envoy of the peace talks to continue negotiations with the Southern Dynasties. Both sides changed their people and it turned out to be significant. The Jin Dynasty went south to the Central Plains several times and abducted a large number of people, including the Han people belonging to the original Khitan; and the Jin Dynasty proposed that

The Song Dynasty occupied large areas of land such as Yanjing, Dading and Linhuang, and occupied the population here. It also robbed a large number of people who were abducted back then. Not long ago, the number of people captured by Liaoyang was captured was 100,000.

The Jin side thought that the two sides were just right to offset each other, and the two sides no longer asked each other for each other. After consideration and calculation, the Song side agreed to the Jin Dynasty's proposal, but the negotiations were not reached in the exchange of prisoners of war. The Song side proposed to exchange one for one, and the Jin side

The Song army captured earlier was incorporated into the army for more than ten years, either after death or returning to the field because of old age. In the years, the Song side gained the upper hand and captured a large number of Jin troops.

, and our side suffered very little losses. Therefore, the number of prisoners controlled by both sides was very different, so they could not get a few people back, so of course they were not happy.

The two sides argued over this again, and finally the Jin side put forward a constructive opinion to exchange captured Song Dynasty officials for prisoners of war. However, there was a difference between officers and soldiers. A lowest rank official would be exchanged for ten prisoners of war. The higher the rank, the more you would be exchanged for.

Of course, prisoners of war also had to multiply. Their abacus was very good. There were no 1,000 officials of the Song Dynasty who were captured to the Jin Dynasty and had 800. Of course, not all of them were used for them. Many people still had their homeland, and they could

Using these people to exchange prisoners of war can also block the excuse of the Southern Dynasty asking for surrendered ministers. As for who is loyal and treacherous, the Southern Dynasty will identify themselves, but the people who really surrendered to the Jin Dynasty can escape by using this.

Zhang was ordered by the emperor to ask Yuwen Xuzhong and others for permission, of course, and proposed that the list must be submitted before discussion, claiming that no one of the people listed at the time must be missing. Xu Lin did not understand the meaning of this, so he proposed to divide the batches again.

Submit and exchange in batches. He wanted to first consume the quota in the hands of the Southern Dynasty with the Song official who was abandoned by them. In this way, he would not hurt each other's harmony and achieve his own goals.

Faced with Jin Fang's constantly changing moves, Zhang Su decided to discuss with Li Jun before making any decisions. His identity was the official envoy, but Zhang Su knew that the deputy envoy sent by the emperor was definitely not an ordinary person, and he provided it to him.

The information was not only timely, but also accurate. This reminded him of the legendary mysterious institution that had been hiding behind the emperor's back. They held the power of life and death, monitored hundreds of officials in the court, and could directly deal with the fifth rank without the Shangshu Province

The following officials will arrest officials below the third rank with the emperor's gold medal.

At this time, Li Jun was also extremely anxious. The rescue team sent by the Intelligence Department had arrived in Huining, but found that the Ministry of Justice, which was detained in Yuwen Xuzhong, had a strict defense. Because of the continuous cleanings in the Jin Dynasty, the development of the inside line could not get close to the core. If they use a strong attack, they will find it difficult to break out of the siege even if they succeed. Therefore, they can only find another way. First, they are robbed people halfway through the execution ground, and then they take advantage of the chaos to leave the city and return home from outside the city; second, they are hijacked and kidnapped the Jin Kingdom. Senior officials exchanged hostages.

However, these methods are the last choice. Half-way interception requires a long journey of thousands of miles to return home under the encirclement of heavy troops of the enemy. The number of triumphs is not high. The hostage-taking exchange reveals the true intentions of the Song Dynasty and threatens those who have not been exposed. The inside line was safe and slapped the emperor in the face. Now the Jin Kingdom suddenly stopped the death sentence on Yuwen Xuzhong, indicating that their diplomatic strategies had already shown effect. Therefore, Li Jun tended to negotiate and resolve his own 'capital' It was thick, so he decided to give it a try.

The first exchange list of Jin Kingdom sent two heavyweights, He Su, the prime minister of the Jingkang Dynasty and Cai Tao, the son-in-law of the Duwei of the Song Dynasty, who also fulfilled the contract and returned some of the captured Jin generals. The second list was not only There were several close ministers who suffered in the Five Kingdoms City with Zhao Huan, and a few small "Xiami". This time, the Jin Dynasty asked to release the general and suddenly reunite, but was rejected because the bargaining chips were too low, but according to A considerable prisoners were sent.

In fact, both parties were crossing the river while exploring each other in these two exchanges. Wu Shu was always skeptical about Zhao Er's sudden punishment of the traitor, worried that he wanted to rescue Yuwen Xuzhong and Gao Shi and talked about the two, so the first two batches of exchanges were The two were not included in the Central Committee, and the Southern Dynasties did not make special requests to fulfill the agreement. This allowed Wu Shu to relieve his doubts. The arrest of the two had achieved the purpose of killing the chicken to warn the monkey and eliminating the alien party. And the two useless wastes were exchanged for The speed of the retracement is a good choice. In addition, the two of them have much more reputation in the Jin Kingdom than Cai Songnian and others, which can just meet the face of Zhao Er's request to punish the traitor. So Yuwen Xuzhong and the two of them are the biggest traitor in the Jin Dynasty. The hat appears on the third list!

After obtaining Yuwen Xuzhong, the Song Dynasty was indeed ecstatic and sent Tu Hesu and the two ten thousand men back, and the exchange went much smoother. By November, the handover of prisoners of war between the two sides was completed and a peace agreement was signed, which seemed to be very happy. The ending ended. But what happened later stunned Wushu and his group. Yuwen Xuzhong and the other two were not treated as traitors, but were welcomed like heroes.

When the two returned to Beijing, Zhao Qi personally held a banquet to welcome him in the Daqing Hall, and gave Yuwen Xuzhong the title of Marquis of Huai'an, the title of Shao Shi, and the Grand Secretary of Longtu Pavilion; Gao Shi Tan was awarded the title of Marquis of Pingnan, and the title of Master Zhengfeng, The scholar of Guanwen Hall. Then several assassinations occurred in Huining City, all of which were surrendered ministers of the Song Dynasty who were officials in the court. Six people died. Cai Songnian was also shot and did not die by chance. He was surrendered in the Jin Dynasty for a while. People were in panic and said they were sick and dared not go to court. Wu Shu was extremely depressed when he received the report. He finally got hit by Zhao Ersheng's plan to attack the west. He had long expected that he would not return the real surrendered minister, and it kept happening The assassination was the Song Dynasty's action to punish the traitor...

"Why are Your Majesty depressed these days?" Yu Liyan invited Zhao Xin to admire the snow in the inner garden. When she said that the emperor always likes to sit alone these days, and often doesn't say a word, she asked with some concern.

"Your Majesty may have something to worry about?" Zhao Xin answered with concern at Yu Liyan.

"Now that the peace agreement has been reached, all the aid troops have been withdrawn, and all the autumn taxes have been put into the warehouse. Could it be because of the matter in the palace?" Yu Liyan took over the queen and took charge of the inner palace for fear of mistakes. Now the foreign affairs have been decided, she

I was worried that I was not doing well enough.

"Princess, don't be too careful. You are just and appropriate in your work, sympathetic to your subordinates, and respect the court officials. Now the palace is orderly and everyone is responsible, there is nothing wrong with it!" Zhao Xin and Yu Liyan both came from Khitan, so they still call themselves princesses in private.

She comforted her.

"Alas, after the emperor ascended the throne, he had little spare time and took charge of military and national affairs every day. This year is a troublesome and he is more laborious than before!" Yu Liyan knew that Zhao Xin knew the emperor best, and heard from her that she had done it and

All of them breathed a sigh of relief, but they were anxious that they could not share the worries of the emperor.

"The emperor is just working hard, and he wants to be an idle person, but he has been worried about the country and the people since he was so young. I don't know what to do these days, but whose idea he has made..." Zhao Xin smiled and wanted to say it again, but he saw

The emperor walked towards the snow, and several eunuchs followed carefully, not daring to get closer.

"Who are you angry with?" Yu Liyan said softly as he looked at the emperor's rushing steps, not as if he was enjoying the snow, frowning and drooping his face.

"No, it seems something happened!" Zhao Xin shook his head and said.

"What will happen? It's not the Western Expedition Army?" Yu Liyan thought for a while and said that the only major event that has not yet been decided this year is the Battle of Gaochang.

"Well, I think it's Gaochang's business!" Zhao Xin nodded and said. She was very familiar with the emperor's appearance. When Zhao Ren, who was conquering the Western Xia, led an army to cross the desert. The information was not available for two months, so he was now restless.

It looks like.

"Oh, are you enjoying the snow too?" As he said that, the emperor had already approached and the two of them came forward to greet him. Zhao Qi seemed to be startled and said in a daze.

"Is Your Majesty also enjoying the snow?" Zhao Xin asked with a smile.

"Well...hehe, I originally came out to see the snow scene, but suddenly I remembered that the heavy snow fell one foot deep here, and the snow in the northwest would be even heavier, and I lost my mood!" Zhao Qi thought of his just now

No matter how you look, you don’t look like you are enjoying the snow, you said with a wry smile.

"Is the emperor worried about General Gao's Western Expedition Army?" Zhao Xin asked.

"Yes, the Western Expedition Army has not been back for two months. They should have entered Gaochang long ago. What I am worried about is that heavy snow falls from the sky and roads are more difficult to travel, the supply of supplies and food is not enough, or the war is not going well.

The way home was cut off!" Zhao Qiong sighed and said...
