Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"King Yun is really a good trick."

"Cook the raw rice into cooked rice, remove and replace my prime minister, and then use the excuse of caring for the country to send people to negotiate peace with the Jin people, cede land and pay compensation, and secretly negotiate with the Jin people on the condition that I will be killed."

"Even if I come back, I won't be able to enter Bianjing. I will be wiped out by the Jin army outside the city."

"Is this what you planned?"

There is nothing better than this.

The strategy that everyone was proud of was said by Zhao Ning casually, and there was sarcasm and disdain in his tone.

"Unexpectedly, I entered the capital so quickly."

"If one plan fails, another plan will be made."

"Call the female relatives to the Wende Hall to put pressure on me with the family relationship?"

"Hiding behind women, what a bunch of cowards!"

Zhao Ning fixed his cold gaze on King Yun Zhao Kai, and said in a cold voice, "King Yun, it is Song's loss that the throne was not passed on to you!"

"Think I can't do anything about you?"

"Pick it up and take a good look at it. Over the years, you have merged fields, swallowed tea and salt from the imperial court, smuggled iron ore, forged low-quality cavalry and sneaked into the military department, and murder cases in your hands."

Zhao Kai knelt there with his head down, motionless.

"pick it up!"

Zhao Kai picked it up quickly, not daring to say a word about anything else.

"arsenal!"

"Does the Supreme Emperor know how much garbage is piled up in the arsenal! If I take that garbage to the battlefield, I don't know how many good men of my Song Dynasty will die on the front line!"

Zhao Ning stared at Zhao Ji sharply.

Zhao Ji shrank his neck in fright, and muttered, "I didn't do those things."

"You still have the guts to say that when Emperor Zhezong was in power, the Great Song Dynasty almost wiped out Xixia!"

"Your Cai Jing and Tong Guan, one made money indiscriminately, and the other abandoned the whole army and fled south! After collecting hard-earned money from the people to buy a few empty cities, you dare to say that you have recovered Yanyun. You are shameless !"

Zhao Ning grabbed the teacup from a table and threw it at Zhao Ji.

With a bang, the cup shattered, Zhao Ji screamed, and quickly hid behind the pillar.

"Who proposed the peace with the gold thief?" Zhao Ning asked suddenly.

Zhao Ji immediately said, "It was proposed by King Yun."

King Yun quickly said, "It's what my father meant!"

Zhao Ning's eyes fell on the other princes again, King Jing Zhao Qi quickly said: "It doesn't matter what happened to us, it was planned by King Yun and father, we don't know about it at all."

"Shut up! The emperor's relatives, who take the lead in monopolizing the country's materials, disregarding the safety of the world and the survival of the country, dare to babble in front of me!"

Zhao Ning snatched the paper from Zhao Gou's hand, threw it out, scattered it on the ground, and said sharply, "What face do you have to meet your ancestors!"

Everyone panicked: "The officials forgive the sins, the officials forgive the sins!"

He stared at Zhao Ji again: "Who is the mastermind of the peace talks with the gold thief?"

"It's King Yun!"

"No! It's my father! It's his mastermind!"

Like a cat whose tail was stepped on, Zhao Ji's hair stood on end, and he immediately shouted: "It's King Yun, I was bewitched by this unfilial son, I lived in Yanfu Palace and enjoyed my old age, it was he who encouraged the clan The play that brought me out to sing is all about this unfilial son! He wants the throne! It's him!"

"Gao Qiu."

Gao Qiu came over immediately: "The minister is here."

"Give King Yun a face."

Zhao Kai's whole body was shaken, and he was sweating like a waterfall. He quickly kowtowed, making a loud bang, and shouted: "The official has mercy! The official has mercy!"

Gao Qiu's heart sank, what the hell, my father Gao Qiu only played football, why did he suddenly become the prince's killer?

He was full of reluctance in his heart, but he didn't dare to show any hesitation, and immediately said: "Yes, I will go and prepare."

To prepare, either take a three-foot white silk, or take poisoned wine.

This is called decent.

Before Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancient kings killed the royal family and nobles, or ministers with meritorious service, and they were generally very respectable.

This is a Chinese tradition.

After all, China is a country of etiquette, and the emperor is not the boss of street slashers, let alone a local warlord.

Song inherited the Tang system.

As for the Ming Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty was more inherited, and the Yuan Dynasty inherited the Jin Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom inherited the Liao Kingdom, and the Liao Kingdom partially imitated the Tang Dynasty, partly absorbed the Song Dynasty, and was changed by the Jin Kingdom. Not to mention the Yuan Dynasty.

But in essence, they all inherited the Chinese orthodoxy, but some concepts have not been used.

Therefore, when future generations read history books, there is always a feeling that Ming and Song seem to have been separated by many years.

Now Zhao Kai completely collapsed, he shouted loudly: "Brother! We are blood brothers, blood is thicker than water!"

Chapter 157 Everything Has Just Begun! (Second more)

Zhao Huan is the eldest, and Zhao Kai is the third.

Zhao Kai can be said to be the one with the highest IQ among Zhao Ji's many sons, Zhao Ji's favorite son.

It was also when Zhao Huan was still the prince, the biggest competitor for the throne.

At that time, a large group of people in the imperial court saw Zhao Ji's face and wanted to abolish Zhao Huan and make Zhao Kai the crown prince.

If it weren't for the Jin army going south, Zhao Kai might really be the future emperor.

People must die.

I can't find any definite evidence of your rebellion, so I have no other way to kill you?

Annexing state-owned assets, playing with low-quality ironware, infiltrating military weapons supervision, disregarding human life, and fornicating gold thieves.

Are these crimes enough?

And these charges are what Zhao Ning wants.

The charge of treason or not rebellion is nothing to Zhao Ning!

Facing Zhao Kai's intercession, Zhao Ning showed no mercy.

Zhao Ji poked his head out to take a look, and said, "Brother, he is your real brother after all, no matter how wrong you are, you can't take his life."

Zhao Ning's eyes fell on Zhao Ji, and Zhao Ji shrank back immediately, as if being burned by fire.

"I just asked you who was the one who cheated on the gold thief. You said it was him. It's a capital offense to cheat on a gold thief. You were the one who killed him. Do you know that?"

Zhao Ji really had no other way, he couldn't beat this son, he couldn't even talk about it.

He sighed, and said helplessly, "What can we do? Do you think that if you defeat the Jin army in Shangdang, Da Song will win?"

"The Jin army is as fierce as a tiger, with many soldiers and generals. Let's say that there are still [-] elites on Jingdong East Road, and they have already attacked Xuzhou!"

"I'm also doing this for the Song Dynasty, for the sake of my ancestors!"

"Hebei Road has been abolished, and Hedong Road has been abolished. Even if you win one or two battles, it will not change the overall situation!" Zhao Ji said, tears came out.

"Hebei Road is gone, people are gone, and the three towns are gone. How can we fight, cede land and pay compensation, make peace with the Jinren, and still survive!"

In the Song Dynasty, there were nearly 160 million households in Hebei Lianglu. Calculated based on 6 people per household, there were nearly [-] million people, accounting for one-tenth of the population of the Song Dynasty.

The Jin army went south twice at the beginning, occupying most of the land in Hebei and Hedong.

That's not supporting war with war, it's making a fortune from war.

Looted a huge amount of people, land, food, wealth, livestock and so on.

It also includes the military technology of the Song Army border gate.

And what about Da Song?

Almost half of Hedong and Hebei were demolished.

Zongfu went deep into Jingdong East Road and approached Lianghuai.

This situation is indeed desperate.

Zhao Ji is just a very ordinary person. Faced with this situation, it is normal for an ordinary person to feel hopeless.

However, this situation was caused by Zhao Ji alone!

Everyone has the right to feel hopeless or shrink back, but he, Zhao Ji, does not have the right to do so!

And it is correct to analyze Zhao Ji's sentence separately, "Hebei Road has been abolished, and East Road has been abolished. Even if you win one or two battles, it will not change the overall situation!", It is also correct.

Judging from the long-term confrontation between the two countries, the Battle of Chang'an and the Battle of Shangdang could not completely change the situation. At best, they only shattered Jin's ambition to destroy Song in the third southward war.

The Kingdom of Jin inherited all the legacy of the Liao Kingdom. Even though the third Song-Jin War was severely damaged, its national power was still in a stage of rapid rise.

All the founding generals are still there.

On the other hand, the Great Song Dynasty, although it withstood the third Jin army's massive southward march, was riddled with internal diseases.

The royal relatives took the lead in embezzling state-owned assets, not to mention the bad governance of the past century.

The bureaucracy sucks blood, fishes the common people, and the people live in dire straits.

Moreover, the destruction of Hebei and Hedong itself was a great harm to the comprehensive national strength of the Song Dynasty.

Large-scale refugees went south, causing local social unrest.

Land mergers, bureaucratic corruption, low administration, military and political chaos, and state treasury expenditures are still beyond their means.

These are all problems, and they will not disappear after a single battle.

After Mao Xiong fought a war against Afghanistan, he disintegrated. Ying Jiang fought many wars across the country, but the more he fought, the richer he became.

why?

The disintegration of Mao Xiong was not due to military obstacles, but a huge problem in its own economic model, which was a disintegration caused by financial collapse.

Without normal financial returns, all forces will be anxious and eager to think of various solutions. The more anxious you are, the more mistakes you will make. All parties will feel dissatisfied and fight against each other under this situation.

This is the pattern of extreme involution.

The Great Song Dynasty is now.

The common people are impoverished, bureaucrats and aristocrats can’t get enough to eat and are insatiable. When the productivity can’t break through, the cake is only so big, and all parties are dissatisfied.

Moreover, after the north withered, a large number of people moved southward, further involving.

If this pattern is not broken, the Song Dynasty will not be able to transform and be reborn, and it will not be possible to continue to resist the Jin, or even defeat the Jin Kingdom, destroy Xixia, and sweep the grasslands.

But today, taking the clan clan's sword is actually the first step to break the situation, an entry point.

It's not just about money, it's about setting a benchmark, bringing out and exposing all the issues involved in the clan.

To measure out the corruption problem and rectify the clan is actually for the bureaucrats to see, and it is also for the world to see.

Zhao Ning stood there silently, he didn't have anything to say to Zhao Ji, every word he said was nonsense.

Because of different perceptions, different patterns, completely different abilities and skills, Zhao Ji couldn't understand it no matter how much he said.

All he has to do is kill people.

"Do you think you can really change the situation!" Zhao Ji said again, "You can't change anything. In the end, you can only negotiate peace with the Kingdom of Jin. Listen to your father. Don't defeat your ancestors!"

Zhao Ji continued: "As for the third brother, he knew he was wrong, so you will spare him this time. You are his elder brother, so don't care about it like him. This is all our old Zhao's own business. If it is spread out, it will be lost." It's the face of our old Zhao family, everyone sees it as a joke, and you can't explain it to your ancestors."

Zhao Ning still did not speak.

Gao Qiu came soon.

Gao Lian was dragging a plate in his hand.

It has to be said that Gao Taiwei has a high EQ.

The question he gave to King Yun was a multiple-choice question, should he choose the three-foot white silk, or poisoned wine?

It is a choice between the two, not death or immortality.

Gao Qiu said at the door: "Your Majesty, you are ready."
