Song Mingyue

Chapter 176 It's Not Me
Five corpses lay neatly in the compound of Banjing Pavilion, the heads and corpses had been sewn together and covered with white cloth.

Wulin Dazanmo looked solemn, looked at the five corpses side by side, and pondered for a long time before saying: "I never imagined that among the southerners, there are such fierce people who dare to resist the imperial decree..."

Wan Yanwen on the side was full of resentment, and said bitterly: "This person has repeatedly been rude, we have to protest to the Emperor of Song Dynasty, please behead this person, otherwise the matter of the alliance, let it go!"

Yesterday, he was first publicly defeated and humiliated by Zhao Hao, and then he was beheaded by Zhao Hao again. His face was gone, and he hated Zhao Hao so much that he gritted his teeth and wanted to tear Zhao Hao's body to pieces.

Wulin answered Zanmo with a wry smile: "According to my investigation, this person is the son of the clan, the favorite minister of the emperor of the Song Dynasty, although he is only an official of the fourth rank, but even the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, Cai Jing, has to avoid it a little bit. The emperor of the Song Dynasty punished him because of a few envoys... It was absolutely impossible. This person is still young, he acts recklessly, and he controls the secret agents of the Jinyiwei. Unexpected."

Wanyan Wen said angrily: "Could it be that I'm going to suffer from being dumb for nothing? How can I suffer such a shame and humiliation when my Dajin sweeps the Liao land and is invincible!"

Wulin Dazanmo was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "When I see the Emperor of Song Dynasty, I will have my own calculations. Before that, you wait for Xu to live in seclusion and not to cause trouble, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"

……

Shenxiao Palace, Ningshen Temple.

A burst of jade chimes came from the hall.

In the main hall, Taoist emperor Zhao Ji, dressed in a blue and black Taoist robe, sat cross-legged on the futon in the middle, with his eyes slightly closed, his treasure face was majestic, and the jade pestle in his hand beat the jade chime rhythmically in front of him.

Wang Wenqing and Lin Lingsu sat on both sides to protect the Dharma.

Lin Lingsu sighed leisurely: "Your Majesty is restless, I am afraid that today's practice will be fruitless."

Zhao Ji slowly opened his eyes, threw the jade pestle in his hand, his face became cloudy, and asked in a cold voice: "Since he is my Dharma protector, why did he ruin my great affairs? It's been planned for five or six years! Youyun Sixteen States, but my pain in the Song Dynasty for 60 years! Why doesn't he understand my thoughts, why is he so reckless?"

Lin Lingsu remained silent, closed her eyes slightly, but was calculating with her hands.

After a long time, Lin Lingsu suddenly opened his eyes, and said solemnly: "Commander Zhao beheaded the envoy of the golden man, which is a good omen, everything should be on Commander Zhao, your Majesty, don't panic, the alliance between Song and Jin on the sea cannot be broken! "

Hearing what Lin Lingsu said, Zhao Ji's eyes lit up again, and he asked anxiously, "Good omen?"

Lin Lingsu smiled slightly: "Exactly, this is a sign of turning evil into good fortune. Please rest assured, Your Majesty only needs to watch the changes and let nature take its course."

Zhao Ji had always believed in Lin Lingsu. Hearing what Lin Lingsu said, he was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Since that's the case, I'm at ease. That's all for today."

The two hurriedly got up and sent Zhao Ji out of the palace respectfully.

After Zhao Ji left, Lin Lingsu sat down on the futon again, looking very haggard.

Wang Wenqing asked cautiously: "Brother tried his best to deduce it, is it really a good omen?"

Lin Lingsu's face was a little pale, and he said in a low voice, "Brother Yu is afraid that time is short and he will be punished by God..."

Wang Wenqing looked shocked, and asked anxiously, "Why did you come here?"

Lin Lingsu's expression became more and more painful, and he said with difficulty: "Change your fate against the sky... This son has changed your fate against the sky..."

……

In the early morning, in front of Xuande Gate, hundreds of civil and military officials had already gathered.

Since the hunting ground assassination incident, the daily regular court has become once every five days, or even longer.But today's court meeting is different, it is not the regular court held in the Chuigong Hall, but the Grand Court Meeting in the Zichen Hall.

In the past, the court meeting at the beginning of each month, the congratulations at the completion of the suburban temple ceremony, and the reception of Khitan envoys were all held in Zichen Hall. Reception.

For such a grand event, all the officials naturally dare not neglect, even Cai Jing, who has always been late, also arrived early.

When Zhao Hao's carriage arrived in front of Xuande Gate, all the officials were talking a lot, but when they saw Zhao Hao's carriage, their voices seemed to be much quieter.

The Qing school led by Jin Chongyue, Xu Churen, Wu Min and the brothers from the Zhong family, saw Zhao Hao coming, and they all came up to welcome him.But the other officials looked at Zhao Hao with extremely strange expressions. Some showed gloating pleasure, and some had a look of ruthlessness in their eyes...

Zhao Hao killed people in violation of the law, broke the alliance between Song, Jin and Shanghai, and was suspected of disobeying the order, which angered the officials and seriously offended Wang Fu and others who were originally on Zhao Hao's side. Enemy, this level may be difficult to pass.

Although a few Qingliu factions may come forward for them, compared with the Tongguan Yidang and Cai Jing's factions, those few people in the Qingliu faction are no different from the Tongguan Yidang and Cai Jing's factions, not to mention that they have touched the backs of the officials, and they will inevitably be entangled with each other. The Jurchen envoy who did not let go, in the eyes of everyone, Zhao Hao might be able to keep his official title this time, but most likely he would not be able to keep his position as the commander of the Jinyiwei, and he might even disappear from the court and become a loose official without a position.

Zhao Hao got off the carriage slowly, still personable and calm, without the slightest panic, just like in the past, he walked towards Jin Chongyue and others slowly, and gave a salute indifferently.

Jin Chongyue and others already regarded Zhao Hao as their own, seeing Zhao Hao so calm, they were anxious.

Jin Chongyue, who has always been calm, asked anxiously in front of him: "Young master offended Cai Jing's party before, and now he has offended Tong Guan and others, so these two factions will join forces to plot against you, and the officials are also furious. Is there a countermeasure?"

Zhao Hao smiled slightly: "There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, so you can just take it lightly, don't worry."

Xu Churen gritted his teeth and said in a fierce voice: "Young Master, what's wrong with eliminating harm for the people? We will fight to the death to protect the position of Young Master, otherwise... Otherwise, is there any justice in this court?"

Zhao Hao smiled, but did not speak.

Killing the murderous Jurchen envoy in the street was indeed a joy to the hearts of the people. Zhao Hao's name not only became a household name in Bianjing, but also spread throughout the entire Kaifeng mansion very quickly, and continued to spread to all directions in the Central Plains. The great hero that the literati are fond of talking about.

However, the sequelae are also extremely serious.

The Jurchen side was silent, neither loud nor noisy, so peaceful that it was frightening.

Wang Fu, Liang Shicheng, Li Bangyan and others are already preparing to play Zhao Hao a book, accusing him of not following the order of resistance and deliberately destroying the alliance at sea. .

On Cai Jing's side, he already hated Zhao Hao to the bone, so naturally he would not miss this opportunity to make things worse.

As for the official's side, the news came that Zhao Ji was so angry that he smashed three pieces of porcelain, overturned the book case in the imperial study room, and then drove to Shenxiao Palace, returning to the palace before dark.

All signs are extremely unfavorable to Zhao Hao.

For Zhao Hao, although he doesn't regret it, he actually has no idea. After all, this matter probably touched Zhao Ji's bottom line.

Officials and ranks are all floating clouds, as long as the Jinyiwei is not handed over, everything else is easy to talk about... This is Zhao Hao's bottom line, if anyone wants to touch the Jinyiwei he finally formed, Zhao Hao will use his trump card to force Zhao Ji to submit.

dong dong dong~
The big bell inside the Wende Gate rang leisurely.

The civil and military officials no longer chatted, but rushed to the hall in a swarm.

……

Inside Zichen Palace.

Zhao Ji, Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, led all civil and military officials to receive the Jurchen envoy from Liaodong in a grand ceremony, and at the same time discuss the final details of the maritime alliance.

Dressed in a bright yellow mian suit and a 24-pronged crown on his head, Zhao Ji sits on a dragon chair in the middle, surrounded by civil and military officials in a strict formation, solemn and solemn.

With the sound of "passing the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin to the palace", the music rang out in the lobby, and the Jurchen envoy Ulin Dazanmo came side by side with the envoy and Wan Yanwen in his hands, followed by a dozen guards, holding the envoy and presenting it to the Dalai Lama. A gift from Emperor Song.

The two parties proceeded in an orderly manner in accordance with the etiquette, and finally the ceremony was completed, and they entered the formal stage-discussing the official content of the covenant.

According to the historical agreement: Song and Jin each marched to attack Liao, among which Jin army captured Liao Shangjing and Zhongjing Dading Mansion, Song army captured Liaoxi Jing Datong Mansion and Nanjing Xijin Mansion.After Song promised to destroy Liao, he transferred to Jin the old coins that had been lost to Liao in the Chanyuan Alliance.Jin promised to return the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun to Song Dynasty.

However, for Zhao Ji at this moment, he only felt wronged in his heart, and the bottom line in his heart was Youyun Sixteen Prefectures. As for the old coins...even if it is twice as large as that of the Liao people, it will do.

In the past few days, the two sides had discussed for three or four rounds, but they still failed to reach a consensus. On the contrary, during this period, Zhao Hao not only finished Yan Wen, but also killed five of the Jurchens' envoys.

When Zhao Ji asked Ulin Dazanmo about the content of the alliance agreement, Ulin Dazanmo's answer was very straightforward.

"This matter is of great importance, and it is difficult to make decisions on such a small matter... My Dajin Kingdom has sent a clan to envoy Song, which shows our sincerity... If His Majesty the Emperor of Song really wishes to form an alliance, he can send a clan to Huining Mansion to join us His Majesty the old emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom negotiated the covenant to show the sincerity of the Song Dynasty, and the old emperor will definitely live up to the Song Dynasty."

As soon as this sentence came out, the audience was in an uproar, and even Zhao Ji's expression changed.

Wu Lin's answer to Zanmo is Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows that the arrow is pointing directly at Zhao Hao.Although there are more than a thousand people in the imperial family of the Great Song Dynasty, most of them don't care about political affairs and have always been idle. How can they be envoys?What's more, they are all pampered generations, how can they take risks lightly and go to the land of Liaodong?
Zhao Hao is the only one who meets this condition... In other words, even if someone is more suitable than Zhao Hao, Wulin Tazanmo will still refuse, and Zhao Hao's enemies who are already eager to try, how can they let this one go? Chance.

Sure enough, Cai Mao, the vanguard of Cai Jing's party, has already jumped out: "My minister thinks that such a heavy responsibility must be served as a doctor, a loyal general, a white horse founding uncle, and the commander of the Jinyiwei, Mr. Zhao. Please learn from your majesty."

Before the words were finished, Cai Jingzhi's eldest son, Shaobao, Kaifuyitong Sansi, and Zhenhai Jiedu Cai You also stood out from the crowd: "My minister also believes that such an important task must be done by Mr. Zhao!"

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

……

All of a sudden, more than a dozen people jumped out of the court, pointing at Zhao Hao, and there was a rare phenomenon of one-sidedness.

The government of the Northern Song Dynasty is like this, how can it not perish...

Tong Guan, who was standing in front of the ranks of officials, looked at Zhao Hao, wanted to say something, but hesitated to speak.

Even Ulin Dazanmo, the Jurchen envoy, showed an incredulous expression.

Hahaha~
Among the crowd, a burst of tragic laughter suddenly erupted, and the laughter stirred up the hall, suppressing everyone's voices abruptly.

When everyone looked up one after another, they saw Jin Chongyue, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, with his face flushed and his eyes full of resentment.

Above the court hall, Liang Shicheng was already furious, and asked sharply: "Jin Shangshu, as a minister of the Ministry of Rites, you should know court etiquette, how dare you make noise in the court hall?"

Where did Jin Chongyue put this eggless eunuch in his eyes, and was about to retort when he heard a voice resounding from the hall: "Enough!"

Although the voice was not loud, it was full of energy, making the hall suddenly quiet.

I saw Zhao Hao slowly coming out of the queue of third-rank officials, walked to the front of the hall, and said word by word: "This is a matter of great importance to the family and the country. Who would dare to take it except me, Zhao Hao? This time, it is not I, Zhao Hao No way!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around again, and said coldly to Wulin Dazanmo: "I would like to see what kind of superhuman figure Wanyan Aguda is like to beat the old emperor!"
