Daming Super Dimension Company, President Zhu Yuanzhang!

"As for feelings, you also know what kind of person he is!" Zhao Kuangyin wanted to throw the belt on him.

The next moment, with a cry, an extra bar appeared on Zhao Huan's body, and a cry of pain jumped out.

Seeing the furious look of Zhao Kuangyin in front of him, Xiao Ran silently stepped back a few minutes to avoid harming Chi Yu.

Zhao Kuangyin's accuracy was not as good as that of Zhu Yuanzhang when he hit someone. If he was accidentally hit and injured by accident, it would be more than worth the loss.

"I was wrong! Taizu, I know I was wrong!"

Zhao Huan cried extremely miserably.

After a while, Zhao Kuangyin's anger subsided a little.

He asked Xiao Ran again: "Mr. Xiao, what happens next?"

Xiao Ran recalled: "I don't remember the specific words of Li Gang, but the general meaning is that the Jin soldiers are about to attack the city, and King Qin's army has not arrived, so it is okay to negotiate a peace temporarily."

Hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin frowned: "Is it possible that he also..."

"No, Li Gang still wants to struggle. He proposed that the terms of the peace negotiation must be appropriate. Otherwise, it will cause disaster and the safety of the clan will be at stake."

"And I also want to explain that Li Chu is cowardly and may have interfered with state affairs. The enemy is greedy and will inevitably propose very harsh terms."

"As long as the imperial court takes appropriate measures, the enemies will take advantage and retreat. If the imperial court is forced by the power of the Jin army and agrees to all their demands, the Jin army will despise us, which will cause endless troubles."

After saying that, Xiao Ran also spread his hands helplessly: "The pros and cons of this have been clearly explained, but Zhao Huan refused to listen and still asked Li Chao to go to Jinying as an envoy."

"Sure enough, when Li Chao arrived at the Jin camp, he was so scared that he didn't dare to say anything. He just took back the peace terms proposed by the Jin army."

"Give the Jin army five million taels of gold, fifty million taels of silver, 10,000 cattle and horses, and one million pieces of silk and satin. Honor the Emperor of Jin as uncle, cut off the three towns of Taiyuan, Zhongshan, and Hejian, and send the prime minister and prince to the Jin camp. As hostages, send the Jin army across the Yellow River."

"Even Zhao Huan was originally unwilling to agree to these conditions, but Li Bangyan and others tried their best to persuade him to accept these terms."

But even though Zhao Kuangyin was not the emperor of this dynasty, he could tell there was something wrong with these words: "With the national power of the Song Dynasty at that time, the national treasury was already empty. How could there be so much gold and silver as compensation to the Jin people?"

"Of course, I ordered to search the capital as much as possible to collect the money. Even the result is obvious. It makes every family uneasy, everyone is frightened, the whole city is in chaos, and the government and the public are noisy."

"If the envoy is Li Gang, he will definitely oppose these conditions. He once said: The gold and silk demanded by the Jin army can't be satisfied even if they use all the wealth in the world. How can one capital be enough?"

"And the three towns are the country's barriers. How can we establish a country if they are ceded to the Jin Army? As for the hostages, the prime minister can go, but the prince cannot. We should send eloquent people to negotiate terms with the Jin Army and explain what can be done. What to agree to and what not to agree to."

Zhao Kuangyin snorted coldly, and the founding emperor's eyes showed a bit of violence: "If you find someone bold and sharp-tongued, you only need to talk for a few days to delay the time, and King Qin's army will arrive. At that time, the Jin Army will Even though the terms mentioned cannot be realized, we have to retreat quickly.”

"Even if it fails, fighting to the death is better than agreeing to these terms."

Xiao Ran laughed: "This is a good idea. Li Gang also said so, but Zhao Huan's idea is the same. In the official family, it was not you who made the decision in the Song Dynasty at that time."

"I have already said that Zhao Huan is an emperor who has difficulty in making choices. Li Gang later resigned because he couldn't stand it anymore."

"Zhao Huan comforted Li Gang and said that he would consider his opinions and slowly discuss the peace. However, as soon as Li Gang withdrew, Zhao Huan agreed to all the Jin army's conditions."

Zhao Kuangyin took a deep breath and closed his eyes: "Forget it, let's not talk about this."

"I don't want to say more about this unworthy descendant. Let's talk about Zhao Gou and why the throne fell to him in the end."

Seeing that the words had fallen on him, Zhao Gou's back instantly tensed up.

It's over! It's over!

If his ancestors found out what he had done, he would definitely be beaten.

Looking at Zhao Huan beside him, who looked badly beaten, he silently wanted to hide behind him.

However, there were only a few people here, and all the eunuchs and maids went out one by one.

Zhao Gou looked at Xiao Ran as if asking for help, hoping that Xiao Ran could put in a few good words for him.

"Oh, Zhao Gou, it was okay at first. When Zhao Huan was worrying about which prince to send to the Jin camp as a hostage, Zhao Gou firmly requested to send him."

"At that time, Li Chen told Zhao Gou that the Jin army was worried that the Southern Dynasty would break its promise and asked the prince to send them across the Yellow River before they could return."

"Zhao Gou replied: When the country is in danger, it is appropriate to die for the country!"

Hearing this, Zhao Gou breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Kuangyin was also a little relieved and tied the belt he was holding around his waist again.

"The situation at that time was indeed not bad. After Zhao Gou, the king of Kang, set out, reinforcements from various places arrived one after another, totaling more than 200,000 people, while the Jin army only had more than 60,000 people."

"Li Gang and others commanded the Song army to fight against the Jin army, and there was a victory or defeat for each other. The Jin army had already received three towns and a lot of compensation. Seeing King Qin's Song army coming to the capital one after another, they had to take advantage of the situation to retreat in February of this year, so Tokyo was preserved. .”

Zhao Gou knelt on the ground and felt his back became a little stiffer.

"But Zhao Gou is only intermittently reliable."

Xiao Ran's words instantly made him feel depressed again.

elder brother! uncle!

Zhao Gou looked at him with a bit of pleading and a bit of despair that all his dark history would be stripped away. This feeling was simply indescribable.

If Zhao Gou knew the word "social death", he might be able to express his pain accurately.

Zhao Huan recalled the emperors of the Song Dynasty. All of them can be said to be good artists, but a good artist is not a good emperor.

People in power don’t need so many artistic germs.

Just like Zhao Gou, who died in the 14th year of Chunxi at the age of 81, his temple name was Gaozong, his posthumous title was Zhongxing Quan Gong Zhi De Sheng Wu Wen Zhao Ren Xian Xiao Emperor, and he was buried in Yongsi Mausoleum.

He was proficient in calligraphy, good at Zhen, Xing and Cursive calligraphy, and led the style of calligraphy in the Southern Song Dynasty.

He is the author of "Han Mo Zhi", and his handed down ink writings include "Cursive Luo Shen Fu" and so on.

Overall, the literary quality is quite good.

However, given the current situation, there is no need to talk about these things.

Xiao Ran said slowly and thoughtfully: "When Zhao Gou was a hostage, there was such an incident. As the deputy envoy, Zhang Bangchang went to the Jin camp with him in tears. When Zhao Gou saw this scene, he also said, this man is... , Sir, you cannot do this."

"Then one day, Zhao Gou was shooting arrows with the Jin Dynasty royal family, and hit three arrows in a row. The Jin people looked at it and suspected that he was a son of a general, not a prince who grew up in a palace."

"During this period, conflicts between the Song and Jin Dynasties continued, and there was a disturbance when the Song general Yao Pingzhong attacked the Jin camp. Zhang Bangchang was so frightened that he cried in fear and was at a loss when faced with the accusations from the Jin people. Zhao Gou was quite calm and unmoved."
