I rebelled in the Song Dynasty

“Are you proposing peace at this time so that the Khitan can have a breathing space to retaliate against our country?

In addition, our country has reached a maritime alliance with the Jurchens. If we do this repeatedly, what do we think of our ministers? "

Cai You suddenly felt very tired. He did not want to talk to these courtiers about useless things in the court.

These are all nonsense. After talking for a long time, Song Dynasty will not benefit at all.

If I can have all the nations of the Song Dynasty come to congratulate me, what does mere face mean?

But for the sake of their own immediate interests and so-called face, these people actually gave up such a good opportunity and even did not hesitate to slander.

Cai You's face was very calm and he said: "In this case, according to the inference, if I proposed peace and accepted the gift from the Khitan people, then Cai Xiang had initially reached a maritime alliance with the Jurchens.

If the Jinren are given 100 million tax coins every year, wouldn’t they also receive a kickback?

Our government will only give the Khitan 50 lives now, and the war is going like this. Whether we give it or not, everything can be discussed.

These are all real benefits, but Yan Yun didn't even see them.

Prime Minister Cai has already given away 100 million cans, and the military expenditure is even more unknown.

At this moment, they are trying their best to destroy the Liao Dynasty. Does Xianguan think that Cai Xianggong has a share of the 100 million yuan of coins given to the Jin people every year? "

"You...you...you are talking nonsense." He looked at Zhao Ji and said, "Officials and veterans are dedicated to serving the country and will never do anything like enriching their own pockets. If the officials don't believe it, they can send a censor to investigate thoroughly."

At this time, Cai You was not in a hurry, and continued to finish the attack: "Why are Mr. Cai panicking? I'm just talking casually, just like the old Mr. Cai before, he can't do anything."

"you you". Cai Jing pointed at Cai You's nose, unfastened his belt and was about to go up to slap him, but was held back by several people around him.

"My dearest friend, disobedience in front of the palace is not a small crime."

Cai Jing was so angry that he kept taking deep breaths.

Cai You knew what kind of person his father was, and he might have a few taels of ink in his belly.

But it is by no means a good strategy for governing the country. It is just a way of flattering the horse and adapting to the wind.

Not surprised by his reaction, he immediately bowed and said: "Wang Guanjia's Holy Judgment."

If Zhao Ji had been chosen from the beginning, he would have taken Yan Yun without hesitation, but now Liu Sheng has appeared in Shanxi.

Like a shit stirrer, it has turned the whole of Shanxi upside down. If we let it go, maybe something else can be done.

If he insists on taking Yan Yun, then Liu Sheng may come to Kaifeng, and his safety will not be guaranteed.

Kaifeng City is indeed not comparable to Taiyuan, but it is not better than Yanmen! If Liu Sheng can capture Yanmen, he will be able to capture Kaifeng.

Zhao Ji is also thinking. On one side is Yan Yun, who is within easy reach, and on the other side is a more promising but uncertain future.

If there were still soldiers capable of fighting in the country at this time, they would not be so passive.

The soldiers who can fight are either thousands of miles away, or they are all led by Tong Guan's Northern Expedition.

There was an intention to mobilize some from the Northern Expeditionary Army to put down the rebellion, but now it is no longer a matter of whether to mobilize, but whether to fight or not.

If there is no Liu Sheng, whether to fight or not to fight is Zhao Ji's active choice, but now it is more like a coercion.

In the past, the courtiers headed by Cai Jing could always give him an accurate answer, and he only had to make the final decision.

And since Liu Sheng appeared, he was always asked to make a choice one after another.

In the past, the great court was more like a formality, but now this court has really become a place for discussion, and meetings are held every three days.

Zhao Ji sighed heavily and prepared to negotiate peace, not because he was unwilling, but because he was unable.

Now is the wrong time to destroy Liao, Liu Sheng is already eager to threaten his safety.

It was embarrassing to ask him to move the capital. As long as Tong Guan was still attacking in the north, Liu Sheng could attack Kaifeng at any time.

When Tong Guan comes back and defeats Liu Sheng, the worst he can do is to drive Yanmen out.

This time he wanted to replace Zhe Keqiu.

After ensuring your own safety, raise an army to attack them.

.....

Zhao Ji turned around and sat on the dragon chair, sighed heavily, looked at the ministers below and said, "Everything is as per the instructions of the Cai Qing family.

After speaking, he seemed to let out a sigh of relief, "Let the Grand Master cease the war, but I want the Khitan people to surrender Liu Sheng, otherwise there will be no discussion.

You don’t have to give up the newly conquered land, but I want Liu Sheng to stand in front of me, and I want to chop him alive. "

"Otherwise I will feel uneasy."

Cai You smiled bitterly, Liu Sheng really made the officials hate him to the core.

But how could the Khitans hand Liu Sheng over to the Song Dynasty?

But as long as the officials are willing to cease the war, there can be talks, and I am in a good mood at this time.

Cai Jing was very anxious when he heard the officials' comments. The officials were busy with the Northern Expedition and the peace talks. They had obviously received good news, so why were they preparing for peace talks again?

Before Tong Guan left the capital, he gave many warnings and instructions that there must be no chaos in the court. He was leading the troops and was most taboo about such things.

If Tong Guan is allowed to come back, the political alliance between him and Tong Guan will be broken.

At this time, the Song Army was on the verge of a great victory over Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures. What a feat it was. Just thinking about it made Cai Jing breathless and blushing.

But the emperor's will was made, and he couldn't think of anything good.

He sweated profusely and fell straight down.

Shouted: "No".

The civil and military officials in the court stared at Cai Jing. Cai Jing was anxious and wise and said: "There is something wrong with what Deacon Cai said. The Jin people are powerful and they must not be willing to negotiate peace with the Khitan."

Cai You sneered, thinking he could find something to say: "I said it before, if you don't want to, then we will..."

Cai Jing also smiled and said: "That is just Deacon Cai's wishful thinking. Have you ever thought that my Song Dynasty betrayed the Khitan and the Jurchen at the same time, and would I still have credibility with them?

What if they become angry and unite to attack our country, Song Dynasty? The Song Dynasty can still deal with a Khitan, but what can the Song Dynasty do with a Jurchen? "

It’s not that the Khitan has not formed an alliance with the Jurchens before, it’s just that the Jurchens chose us. Am I, the mighty Song Dynasty, worse than an uncivilized barbarian?

The original signing of the Tanyuan Alliance was originally an opportunity left by our ancestors to our descendants in order to recuperate and recuperate.

The opportunity has arrived, and if we don't take it, our ancestors' souls in heaven will not be safe. "

So did Liu Sheng really surround Wei and save Zhao as he said? Not to mention that he attacked the city so quickly, first of all, he was heading in the wrong direction. "

The more Cai Jing said, the more he said it, and the more he felt it made sense, and he became bolder, "If you want to rescue the Khitan, after taking Yanmen, you should attack Hebei and destroy the entire army's logistics, but go to Kaifeng, which is farther away?"

But now it seems that he did not come to Kaifeng, but occupied the entire Shanxi. In Yichen's opinion, the relationship between Liu Sheng and the Khitan may not be as good as imagined.

Even if the officials negotiate a peace, Liu Sheng may not retreat. "

Cai Jing no longer knew what he was talking about. Some or not, in short, it was all involved. The bottom line was that Tong Guan could not retreat.
