Chapter 1802: Good Plan

Wang Jing said: "I don't dare to deceive the empress Yin. This fact is the arrangement of Zhao Zhongqian, the clan of the Song Dynasty and the governor of the Zhangjie Army. Those righteous men are originally from the Song Dynasty, and the old ministers should not reward them indiscriminately."

Xiao Sesu said to Zhao Zhongqian: "You have to work hard and save time. This kindness of the Song Dynasty will be forever engraved in the hearts of my mother and son."

"This move is not only for the sake of the empress and your highness, but also for the sake of the order of the world." Zhao Zhongqian bowed and said sternly: "The state has established direct descendants, established elders, and established virtuous people. However, the queen of the Liao Dynasty had nothing to do with it.

Therefore, there is no direct heir. The King of Jin is the eldest son of the emperor of your dynasty. Wei Wuchang, who escorted the Queen and His Highness to the south, said that His Highness has a dignified character, knows the rules and observes etiquette, and the Queen is well-read in poetry and books, and is virtuous and humble, so the King of Jin

Although he is only four years old, he should be the crown prince regardless of his emotions, principles, and virtuousness."

"The empress of your dynasty and the concubine of the Yuan Dynasty broke the law and bullied the empress and the king of Jin due to family selfishness. Not to mention the injustice between the court and the people of the Liao Dynasty, even the Song Dynasty, a country of brothers, was indignant after hearing about it."

"Back then, Prime Minister Wang sent an envoy to ask me to go to His Majesty to beg for relief from the Liaoyang Iron Works' liquidated damages of three million guan. His Majesty knew that the empress had just given birth to His Highness, the Prince of Jin, so he allowed Situ to waive the penalty as a birth gift for His Highness."

"Because of this past relationship, after hearing that the Queen of the Northern Dynasty was unkind, His Majesty ordered his ministers to come to the Liao Kingdom to rescue the Queen and the King of Jin."

"The foreign ministers saw that among the ministers of the Liao Kingdom, only Prime Minister Wang dared to take on this matter, so he asked for permission from Prime Minister Wang to arrange it."

"As expected, the empress and your highness are blessed by the blessings of heaven and earth and ancestors, and they are very happy. The foreign minister is not only happy that he has completed the task entrusted to your majesty, but also happy that the Liao Kingdom has such loyal and diligent kings as the Prime Minister, Chen Caoshuai, and Yelu Dutong.

He is a loyal minister who can work hard and care for his Majesty's flesh and blood at the expense of his family's life."

In fact, Wang Jing did not exert any effort at all in this whole matter. Zhao Zhongqian led the secret spies of the Song Dynasty to arrange it. Even the seal of the letter to contact Yelu Yuxu was stamped by Ma San from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Take it out.

However, he didn't know it beforehand, but when it happened, it was all Wang Jing's fault. Wang Jing felt that Zhao Zhongqian, the younger brother of the Song Dynasty, was really a reliable thief.

Xiao Sesu said: "You can't be too modest in your discipline. By the way, that righteous man Wei Toutuo, why do I see a gold mark on his face? What mistakes has he committed?"

"Uh..." Zhao Zhongqian couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when talking about this: "Wei Wuchang did commit crimes in the Song Dynasty. He was the culprit caught by Situ when he cracked the counterfeit banknote case in Hebei. He opened a business in an unpopulated place.

He owns a shady shop and has taken several lives on his hands, but what he is best at is colluding with gangsters."

"After being exiled, he performed well. This time we need such a person to rescue the empress and His Highness, so Situ suggested using him."

"To be honest, the foreign minister was very uneasy at that time. Fortunately, Wei Laowu did not disappoint Situ's expectations."

"Collecting and using the skin of oxen and horseboles, and the broken drums, is the best thing for a doctor." Xiao Sesu couldn't help but smile: "Situ's wisdom in seeing people is really admirable. This trip, Yishi Wei has also established great achievements."

.”

Zhao Zhongqian said: "Situ employs people, there are indeed some... This is a cold and unscrupulous person, and the empress does not know. Even my eldest son, the gun and stick instructor of the Duke of Shu, was recommended to the official family by him, but he was from that year.

Prisoners taken out of the Guizhou prison camp."

He said bleakly: "Ms. Wang, please pay attention too. The miserable conditions I have seen along the way are unbearable to describe. Sometimes the mobs kill people in such a way that I really can't blame them. They are just carnivores and they don't behave well."

This family...when it comes to suppressing rebellions and suppressing bandits, we should be as lenient as possible."

Wang Jing hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty is benevolent, and we must respect her. Now half of our counties in Tokyo are forced by high-ranking thieves, and the people are displaced. However, the southern states used to focus on supplying food and iron, and the military has never been able to do so."

Be prepared, it will be difficult to pacify the rebels this time."

Xiao Sesu said: "Do the governors have an agreement on this?"

Wang Jing said: "This time I brought Jiedu to the audience, so that the ministers would discuss and come up with a plan. However, I don't know whether it is appropriate or not. It has to be decided by the empress."

Xiao Sesu quickly declined: "I am a woman, how can I think as carefully as the chief ministers?"

Wang Jing said: "Your Majesty is too modest. The ministers will never dare to make the decision in this matter. Whether it is action or inaction, everything depends on the will of the Lord."

Xiao Sesu couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Is it so important? Please be fair to me."

Wang Jing said: "That's it. Today, among the five realms in the world, Tokyo still has its roots. As long as we can hold it, Daliao has a chance of recovery. Therefore, in my humble opinion, I don't need to ask about other things for the time being. How to save Tokyo?"

It is very important that the Tao is not lost.”

"However, the southern states have not heard of military revolution for a hundred years. Even if they are drawn, the income will be peasants, and there will be no time for temporary training."

"In the past, the high-ranking ministers who stayed behind and had the right to participate in political affairs, Zhang Lin, organized and trained 50,000 soldiers, but they dispersed before crossing the Liao River. It is really..."

"However, we still have a strong force to the east of Liaodong. They are the eldest son of Situ of the Song Dynasty and the six thousand elites under Su Yi, the envoy of the four states."

"The Southern Dynasty also has many interests in Tokyo Road. It is also the Southern Dynasty's wish to protect Tokyo Road from being attacked by soldiers. Therefore, I would like to ask the empress to agree to open Kaizhou and beg the Southern Dynasty to send troops to defend Liaoyang to meet the urgent need."

Seeing that all the ministers in the palace were silent, Xiao Sesu knew that this matter had been discussed in advance, but he still couldn't help but worry: "The important affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and military affairs. Borrowing troops to defend against invaders is unreasonable in ancient times. Sirs, can you think about it again?"

?”

Wang Jing bowed and said: "If I had any plan, I would not take this tack. It's a shame."

"Although your Majesty and Your Majesty are temporarily in peace now, Tokyo Road is already exhausted."

"The King of Wei's army has reached Laizhou, which is only three hundred miles away from Jinzhou."

"The Northern Court ordered the King of Wei to raise his troops to the north. According to the theory, the King of Wei should go out to Yuyang and Tanzhou. Now it is very inappropriate to send troops to the east to come to the state."

"The old minister has written many times, ordering him not to go eastward. The day before yesterday, he also asked for the emperor's decree, but the king of Wei still turned a deaf ear."

"The intention is obvious, which is to occupy all three roads, from the south to the north."

"To the north of Tokyo Road, Gao Yongchang is wreaking havoc on all the states. He repeatedly invades the Liaohe River. He has a glimpse of our reality. His ambition is not small. As expected by the old minister, he will raise troops soon."

"And mixed with Jiangbei, there are also women's straight tribes. Seeing the chaos in Daobei, they are also eager to try."

"As for Xiao Fengxian, who was guarding Ningjiang, his attitude was ambiguous. He was also the eldest brother of the Queen and Concubine Yuan, so we can tell his intentions."

"The Whirlpool Ridge is the foundation of our country's iron materials. The Bohai tribes there are the main force in mining and metallurgy. Gao Yongchang lures him day and night in the name of restoring the Bohai Kingdom. If he does not quickly station troops to suppress the Gao bandits' rebellion, the Whirlpool Ridge will be lost.

, The rebels can obtain ten thousand catties of fine iron in one day, arm two thousand tribesmen, and expand their army to ninety thousand in less than a month. By then, if they can no longer be controlled, everything will stop."

"Situations are urgent, and matters have their own authority. Please ask Su Zhizhi for help, but we still risk sending troops without permission."

"As far as Zhizhi is concerned, he can just wait and see from the other side of the river, wait for Liaodong to change hands, and then ask for troops to raid it and take it back to the Song Dynasty. By then, everyone will feel at ease and the name will be justified, so why is it difficult?"

"Therefore, for our Tokyo Dao, this move is a matter of urgency, and for the Song Dynasty, it is a matter of survival."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about any criticism from the ministers in the South Courtyard, because we have no other choice."

"As for the accusations from the Northern Court and the King of Wei, we are not afraid because we have a clear conscience."

"What we are doing is just to preserve the only relatively stable territory of the Liao Kingdom, to preserve the lives and assets of the people there, and to preserve this country's last chance of recovery."

"The southern states have made their contributions to the country several times over the years. Together, they have lost half of the country's wealth and raised half of its soldiers."

"Now there is rebellion at home, troubles outside, the people are in trouble, and everything is in trouble. But where are the troops and horses that the imperial court is supposed to send?"

"I am ashamed of entrusting you to a foreign country for protection, and I am even more ashamed of you for making your wife worry. However, this strategy cannot be adopted today. The queen and Your Highness finally climbed to the fire tower to seek temporary relief. They lived in a leaky boat and asked Quan to be safe.

If there is no disaster, it will be over soon."

Xiao Sese was finally afraid: "Even if we ask Su Zhizhi to help, we will have few soldiers, so how can it be useful?"

Wang Jing said: "Su Zhizhi was the eldest son of Situ of the Song Dynasty. Situ guarded Hebei, and the whole territory was connected to Nanjing Road."

"Today's King of Wei can no longer control the relationship between propriety and justice, but can only control the relationship between profit and loss. The Nanjing Road is the foundation of the King of Wei. Situ can threaten his retreat, and the navy can also block his return. Therefore, even if he does not take the empress and the old minister

Even if I take it seriously, I dare not not take it seriously."

"Aguda, the female direct tribe, recently paid tribute to the Song Dynasty and was granted the title of Jiedu. When Su Zhi set up the four prefectures of Yalu, Aguda assisted him and was quite respectful to the envoys."

"And Aguda is quite a threat to Xiao Fengxian, so the envoys are stationed in Liaoyang, both in the northeast and the northeast, to eliminate all troubles."

"The remaining ones are Gao Yongchang's subordinates. Jiedu has promised to use 3.85 million imported money to take over all the iron factory bonds in our treasury."

"The interest has been collected for ten years, 10% per year, and only 700,000 pieces of fine iron from the Posoling Iron Works per year are used as the principal and interest to be paid."

"With the help of this fund, the old minister can immediately use the golden valley to lure rebels, resettle the refugees, organize and train the army, and no longer have to worry about his relatives and powerful officials."
