Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

In the Hebei area, silk, tea, ceramics, and rice paper were transported batch after batch from the Song Dynasty to the Kingdom of Jin, and knives, leather, mink, horses and sheep from the Kingdom of Jin also went south to the Kingdom of Song in batches.

The businessmen on both sides made a lot of money, and everyone sat in the discussion room talking and laughing happily, just like old friends for many years.

What's even more amazing is that due to the battle of Fuzhou, it is becoming an established fact that the Daizhou Jin army went south to Taiyuan, and it may even trigger a new round of war between Song and Jin in Hedong and Hebei.

This seemingly complicated and chaotic situation actually exposed the contradictions among the various interest groups within the Kingdom of Jin.

New conflicts are tearing apart, new uncertainties are brewing, and due to the incentives of external conflicts, they are gradually becoming sharper.

At least, so far, it is unrealistic for Zongwang to try to cultivate the peace faction within the Song Dynasty through strategic fraud.

Because of the lack of external factors.

Once Wanyan Salihe's troops arrived at Taiyuan City, it was tantamount to telling everyone in the Song Dynasty that the Jin army would go south at any time.

So those people in the Great Song Dynasty who have long wanted peace in their hearts, what face do they have to spread around to promote that the Song and Jin Dynasties can have a hundred years of peace like Song and Liao?

On April 27, merchants in the northern part of Taiyuan Prefecture were the first to learn that the Jin army had gone south.

By April 28, the news had spread around Yangqu, causing panic among countless people.

People left their goods and fled in the direction of Taiyuan City.

For ordinary people, it was a devastating disaster for the Jin army to go south.

By April 29, news of the Jin army's southward movement had reached Taiyuan City.

By May [-]st, Taiyuan City confirmed the news that the Jin army was going south.

At this time, the Jin Army is only fifty miles away from Taiyuan City. If there is no accident, it will arrive this evening.

Zhang Xiaochun, the transshipment envoy of Hedong and the prefect of Taiyuan Prefecture, ordered people from outside the city to quickly call people into the city, and at the same time sent an emergency military report to the capital.

Knowing that the Jin army was coming, countless people didn't want anything, and dragged their families and rushed into Taiyuan city.

The great panic brought about by the war once again shrouded Taiyuan.

Standing on Taiyuan City, one can see countless people rushing into the city in panic.

There are soldiers on duty at the gate of the city, and they are maintaining the order of entering the city.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Xiaochun couldn't help but sighed.

To be precise, the Jin army did not arrive at Taiyuan City immediately on May [-]st, and did not arrive until early in the morning on May [-]nd.

In addition, Wanyan Salihe adopted the method of besieging the city and fighting for aid. While blocking Taiyuan City with a large army, he ambushed troops on the main road back to Taiyuan from Fuzhou.

On the sixth day of May, the news that the Jin army went south to Taiyuan was sent to Tokyo in an urgent report of eight hundred miles, which caused a huge shock in Tokyo.

Zhang Shuye, the leader of the main combat faction, said this: "Taiyuan may be just the beginning. There is no urgent report from Hebei yet, but the Jin people have been plotting for a long time."

All forces are active at this time.

At least on the sixth day of May, the officials and gentlemen in Tokyo City couldn't sleep.

Once Song and Jin went to war in an all-out way, how much impact would it have?

How deep is the interest involved?

There are tens of millions of turnover in the Song and Jin Dynasties every year. How many dignitaries have their own business in it?

If there is no money to be made once there is a war, doesn't that mean killing them?

In the evening, Zhao Ning summoned the chief executives to discuss the matter.

In Zhao Ning's view, this is not a big deal.

He was able to do business with Jin Guoxiu Bing, so he was ready for the two sides to turn against each other at any time.

In fact, the two sides have already fought bloody rivers in Korea.

It was also in the evening, Wang Huaiji stood at the door and said softly: "Officials, there are people outside the palace saying that they want to see the holy face."

"who?"

"It's Hu Yuzhong, the official doctor."

Zhao Ning was going to say no, no time, but thinking about the presence of the Zaizhi, he still had to pay attention to the influence, he said: "I am discussing matters with the Zaizhi now, you tell him that I don't have time, let him write The note is up."

"He said that if His Majesty doesn't see him, he will crash himself at the gate of the palace." Wang Huaiji said tremblingly.

Zhao Ning was stunned for a moment, but he hid his emotions well and asked calmly, "What's the matter with him?"

"It's about the Jin army going south."

Zhao Ding said: "The Jin army's southward march is a major military and national event, not something he, a small official, should care about. Arrange someone to take him away. If he doesn't leave, take off his black gauze hat, as an example to others."

"No!" Zhao Ning said coldly, "Bring him in."

The Zaizhi didn't speak anymore.

Smart people know that some people can't bear it anymore, and they are throwing stones to ask for directions.

Hu Yuzhong is just a small stone.

Just now Zhao Ding wanted to turn a big event into a small one.

But Zhao Guan's family didn't want to end up like this.

Hu Yuzhong was quickly taken to Wende Hall.

"The guilty minister sees Your Majesty, Sheng'an." Hu Yuzhong said.

"What are you guilty of?" Zhao Ning said with a smile.

"It's against the holy will for a minister to die at the gate of the palace, and it's a capital offense." Hu Yuzhong said.

"You can say what you want." Zhao Ning continued to speak calmly.

Hu Yuzhong glanced at the Zaizhi around him, and then said, "There is an urgent report from the front, and the Jin people are going south."

"I know about this."

"But His Majesty doesn't know why the Jinren went south?"

"Why?" Zhao Ning raised his eyebrows with a sneer on his face.

"Because of the Goryeo War, the Jin people went south because of the Goryeo War."

Zhao Ning asked, "What basis do you have for saying this?"

in accordance with?

Do we still need to base our words?

Either I'm stupid, or it's in my best interests!

What basis do you want?

Your Majesty, do you think everyone is Zhao Ding?

Hu Yuzhong said: "At present, there is only one reason. We offended the Jin people in Korea, and the Jin people wanted revenge!"

"Then what's your opinion?"

"The minister risked his life and said bluntly that for the sake of the great Song Dynasty, His Majesty should immediately withdraw his troops from Koryo and send people to negotiate peace with the Jin people. The two sides originally had a peace agreement. As long as they are moved with affection and reason, the Jin people will definitely withdraw their troops."

Zhao Ning didn't speak, as if waiting for him to continue.

"The reconciliation of the two countries is a blessing for all peoples!"

"Who taught you to say this?" Zhao Ning asked suddenly, his eyes nailed on Hu Yuzhong like a sharp sword.

Hu Yuzhong said: "This is what I say from the bottom of my heart. I want to speak out for your Majesty's country! If your Majesty thinks what I said is wrong, please punish me. I will have no regrets if I kill you!"

When he said this, sweat had already begun to seep from Hu Yuzhong's forehead.

Zhao Ning stopped talking, and the atmosphere in the hall seemed to freeze.

After a while, Zhao Ning said: "What you said is not unreasonable, you go down first, and I will summon you alone some other day."

"Your Majesty is wise! I will take my leave first!"

After leaving the Hall of Wende, Hu Yuzhong breathed a sigh of relief, feeling his legs go limp.

"My lords, it's getting late today, let's all go home and rest." Zhao Guanjia said to the chief executives in a friendly manner.

"I'm waiting to retire."

The sunset glow of midsummer dyed half the sky red.

Just when Hu Yuzhong was about to leave the palace, he was stopped by the people from the Imperial City Department.

"Hu Langzhong?"

"You are this?"

"It's nothing, there have been a lot of spies from the Jin Dynasty recently, please cooperate with us in our investigation."

Chapter 683 Old Rules (Second)

"Nonsense, I'm a doctor in the Ministry of Officials, an important minister of His Majesty, how can I be a fine workman of gold!"

"take away!"

"What are you doing! Let me go! I want to see Your Majesty! I want to see Your Majesty!"

"What a ghost!" A secretary of the imperial city slapped him, and Hu Yuzhong was stunned on the spot.

It was getting dark, and Gao Qiu ran to Huangcheng Prison cursing.

In this hot weather, don't let me go to Widow Wang's place to cool down with water, but I have to bring me to this stinking bird place, right?

After Gao Qiu entered the prison, his face was drawn more bitterly than bitter gourd.

"Where are the people?"

"Captain Gao, over here."

Seeing Gao Qiu, Hu Yuzhong immediately shouted righteously: "Gao Qiu! You treacherous minister! Let me out quickly! I want to see Your Majesty..."

Before he finished speaking, Gao Qiu had already slapped Hu Yuzhong, leaving five finger marks on Hu Yuzhong's face.

Not satisfied with this, Gao Qi kicked Hu Yuzhong several times to relieve his anger.

"Say! Who told you to talk nonsense in front of His Majesty!"

"Bah! Gao Qiu! You treacherous official! You will die! Everyone who gets it will be punished! Righteous people in the world can't wait to eat your flesh alive!"

Gao Qiu rolled up his sleeves, exposed his arms, stretched them out in front of Hu Yuzhong, and said, "Come on! Take a bite!"

Hu Yuzhong was stunned for a moment.

Gao Qiu continued: "Don't you want to eat Lao Tzu's meat raw! Come, take a bite!"

"This……"

Gao Qiu slapped him again and said, "It's useless to give you a chance!"

"I……"

"Say, who told you to talk nonsense?"

"Gao Qiu, are you not afraid of being impeached by the princes if you arrest ministers at will like this?"

"Don't talk about garlic with me!" Gao Qi moved a stool and sat down, "I don't know how much you weigh?"

"You traitor!"

"You really don't know your current situation?" Gao Qiu changed his face.

Hu Yuzhong said: "This official is doing the right thing!"

"Okay, if you want to be the first bird, then you have to be conscious of the first bird." Gao Qiu said, "Now the imperial court is working hard against the Jin people in the capital. According to news, some officials have colluded with the Jin people. We arrest you here It is reasonable and legal to come to interrogate, if you do not cooperate with us, you are violating the law of the king!"

"Also, we will investigate your family according to the rules. I heard that your family has a business? I just don't know where the business went!"

Hu Yuzhong's expression changed.

"I'll give you one last chance. Who taught you to say this today?"

"You traitor!"

"Chop off his hand!"

"It's Yushi Zhongcheng Zhan Dafang!" Cold sweat broke out on Hu Yuzhong's forehead.

"Come on, give him a pen."
