Chapter 80 The past can be traced
He spoke casually, but Xie Liang and others were suddenly shocked.
After more than two years of returning, the emperor did not send envoys to the Jin Kingdom. Only the last time the Jin people returned many captured ministers. When the two sides contacted each other, there were envoys contacted him. The emperor ordered people to send some living supplies to Zhao Ji, who was far away in the Five Kingdoms City.
But for more than a year, both sides fought and died, and had no contact at all. Naturally, the act of giving gifts was impossible.
The situation in the palace today was strange, but the emperor suddenly mentioned sending someone to greet the emperor, which naturally surprised everyone.
Seeing that all the ministers were silent, Zhao Huan sneered, knowing that they must have heard of the rumors in the palace.
At that moment, he looked at everyone and asked, "What do you think?"
The ministers in front of him, Zhao Kaixinjin, Xie Liang and Zhang Su, were not trusted by the emperor. Unlike the ministers such as Zhao Ding, they are talking about the extremely sensitive topic of separation of the Tian family. They are involved in the tragic change in the second year of Jingkang and the wars and major events of the Jin and Song countries. How dare everyone speak randomly?
After a while, Xie Liangfang said in advance: "Your Majesty has a deep affection, and it is also worth sending someone to visit the emperor."
As soon as he spoke, others felt relieved and said, "Yes, it's time to send someone to see the Emperor's daily life."
Zhao Fu took the tea bowl presented by the eunuch, gently blowing it away - Piao Tianwenxue - Ran said: "Since all the ministers think this should be done, then who should I choose to serve as an envoy?"
As soon as this sentence came out, the hall was even more dull than it was.
The Jin people suffered repeated defeats and suffered heavy casualties. The situation between the two countries has been reversed by the pure Song people's losses. The Jin people's tiger and wolf nature was often detained when they were strong back then. Now they suffer losses many times. If something is wrong, the envoy would be more than just detained.
Besides, even if your life is safe, you were detained in the north for ten or eight years, and drinking wind and sand in the snow and ice, it is really painful.
In this way, if you recommend others to go to Beijing for business in front of everyone, or even run to Wuguo City, if you offend someone to death, and don’t know your own wishes, if you recommend him and pretend to be sick and refuse, or even resign from his post, it is better to remain silent now than to be both sides of your life.
As for self-recommendation, it’s even more important.
Seeing everyone silently, Zhao Huan sneered: "My father and son were captured back then, and they were traveling in the snow and ice. When they arrived in the five countries, they were forced to farm themselves, carry water, fertilize, water manure, catch insects, and do everything they can. They suffer countless kinds of suffering. Now, as my identity, naturally, I can't go in person. How could I choose a candidate who will share my worries? Is it impossible to get it?"
The hall was narrow, and there were only dozens of ministers in front of him, all of whom were the chief ministers or Privy ministers, as well as chiefs of some important departments. At this time, everyone heard the emperor's plan to describe the situation in the northern country that day, and thought that he had to endure the harsh and abuse of the Jin people as the supreme emperor, as he was digging soil in the snow and eating, but he couldn't help but kneel down and said, "I am waiting for death. I am willing to serve Your Majesty as an envoy."
"Well, today, I will be re-selected and appointed by me. It's better than Jingkang's second year!"
Zhao Huan stood up and looked out of the hall. He saw dark clouds in the distance. The north wind slapped the hall gate. There seemed to be tears in his eyes and murmured: "I came out of the Jin camp that day and was insulted by the Jin people. He once said: The Prime Minister misled me and my son. The people in the capital greeted each other on both sides of the road, and they burst into tears when they heard this."
Seeing that everyone was crawling and unable to speak, some people were even more moved. Several ministers who had personally experienced the events of the day actually started to cry.
Zhao Huan's heart was in a state of turmoil. He just said that he was just the past that he heard. He did not devote himself to it, but today he talked about it. It was just that he had to compile books and publish it all over the world after the reprimand. This matter should have been done long ago, but Zhao Huan didn't care much about the past. He did not regard himself as the coward in the second year of Jingkang. Now that rumors are spreading, he realized that the second year of Jingkang was closely connected with him, and the people who were that day were inseparable from him today.
Then he said sternly: "On that day, the Minister of War, the Minister of War, plundered the people's wealth to help the enemy's army, and no one did not ask for peace. Privy Councilor fled south. My imperial teacher Geng Nanzhong was the most trusted and loyal to me, and he did not dare to speak out for war! There is something in the public today that I am determined to fight today, which is completely different from that time. In fact, I am in power and dare to fight, and I am determined to fight to the end. If those so-called ministers are replaced, what can I do with my own strength?"
When he said this, he was really angry and unresolved. Half of the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty was due to the incompetence and cowardice of the emperor, and the other half was due to the shameless and incompetent ministers. He spoke full of Confucian classics, and once he needed it, he would apply oil to the soles of his feet and to surrender to the enemy and serve the barbarians. Even if he was not in a bad state, he would have many people who were not capable enough. Those who were truly loyal and honest, brave and brave, could not be out of the box.
The emperor chose an envoy. When talking about the second year of Jingkang, his tone became increasingly harsh. Everyone did not understand the meaning, but at this point, they finally realized that they were resolving the matter that year.
Everyone answered now: "The ministers were incompetent that day and they harmed the country and the people. Please punish them seriously."
"Forget it." Zhao Huan waved his hand and returned to his seat, his tone had turned calm, and he only looked at everyone and said, "You guys get up and talk."
Everyone stood up according to their orders, but Yu Yunwen stood forward and said to Zhao Huan: "I am willing to serve on behalf of God, please let Your Majesty follow you."
Zhao Fu looked at him and saw that the other party had bright eyes and did not give in. It was obvious that it was sincere. Everyone behind him was equally determined, but more often, they turned around to avoid it.
He was not angry. People from ordinary backgrounds could naturally understand the idea of ordinary people seeking profit and avoiding harm. No matter how loyal the emperor is, the country is called a mountain sound, and when things come to an end, how many people ignore their own interests.
This is what means that heroes are different from ordinary people.
He smiled at Yu Yunwen and said, "There are strange movements in the Jin soldiers in Henan Prefecture. You followed me to fight in person that day. Compared with others, you know the situation on the battlefield. Now Zhang Jun is still ahead, and Zhao Ding has not returned from Zhangguan. I need someone to help me, so you should not stay away."
When the general Yu Yunwen was persuaded, Zhao Huan looked at the ministers who took the initiative to request the envoy. After a long time, he finally nodded and said, "Han Qing can be an envoy."
As soon as this sentence was spoken, Han Xiaowei, who was named by him, looked as usual, and he only stepped forward and bowed, without saying anything else. However, behind him, many people obviously felt relieved, and the sound of yelling could be heard vaguely.
Zhao Huan laughed in his heart and pondered at Han Xiao's stomach: I'm the scholar of Ruiming Palace and signed with the Privy Council. It's no longer comparable to ordinary ministers. I think the golden man will not be particularly difficult."
Before he finished speaking, Han Xiaowei continued: "Even if the Jin people are in trouble, as long as I can see the emperor and ask about his daily life, I will not be humiliated. Please rest assured."
Seeing Zhao Huan smile on his face, he asked again: "What should I do if the Jin people negotiate and negotiate peace? If there is any words to return the emperor to the peace, what should I do? Please tell me."
Zhao Huan chose this person because when he was in charge, he was often ordered to go to Liao Kingdom to be envoyed. He was also a senior minister who was familiar with diplomatic affairs. The other party was indeed very experienced. Before he got up, he asked Zhao Huan about the core matters, so that it was easy to act.
Seeing that the other party was waiting for him to answer, Zhao Huan had a very headache.
If you don’t act and ignore Zhao Ji’s life and death, you will obviously not be able to extinguish this evil atmosphere. Once you send an envoy, the development of things may not be as satisfactory.
In the meaning of Zhao Huan, it is naturally the best thing for Zhao Ji to die in old age, so as not to come back and cause trouble. However, the development trajectory of history at this time was far different from the official history. What was the Jin people's idea, but they were ignorant at this time. He was completely unsure of what the envoy would have when he left.
At that moment, I had to ponder and answer: "Don't mention the peace talks. If the other party mentions it, I will only ask him for answers: Return the lost land of the Song Dynasty, return all the money and uttered objects, and return them to Youyan. The two countries use the Great Wall as the boundary and are brotherly countries to achieve peace. If they do not rely on it, there is no negotiation."
"Yes, I obey the order and implement it, and I will talk to the Jin people in this way."
This order was the same as Zhao Huan's attitude. The ministers in the palace and the officials in the court whom he personally selected were undoubtedly the main battles in the court, and they all agreed with this.
"As for the emperor, the Jin people knew that I was willing to redeem it with gold and silver to serve the emperor in the south. If the above emperor threatened to negotiate peace, it would be ignored."
This is also true, and finally explained the inside and outside, and it was also the result of Zhao Huan's hard thinking.
The small matters of gold and silver were naturally paid. According to his mastery of historical knowledge, although the upper class of the Jin Kingdom had the intention to release Zhao Ji, it had not been implemented. After the establishment of the pseudo-Qi, in order to allow the pseudo-dynasty to serve with peace of mind, it was even more impossible to release the Song Dynasty emperor or royal family who were captured on the same day.
Even if Zhao Huan rejected the issue of Zhao Ji's return to the south, there was nothing in the world. Therefore, although he wanted to welcome Zhao Ji back on the surface, most of them still had no results. In this way, everyone would naturally be happy.
In this way, since the Shangyuan Festival, Zhao Huan first used Zhe Yanshi to clean up the inner palace, and then formally issued an edict to send envoys to visit the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji. At the same time, he created public opinion and mostly pushed the affairs of the second year of Jingkang to his subordinates, shifting his own responsibility, and at the same time, he ordered the Hadith to be published in the world to correct the audio-visual.
After several measures, the harem was solemn for a moment, and no one dared to speak nonsense anymore. The court and the people praised him for preparing to return the emperor. The rumors were all over the place, but they were always inferior to him. Yu Ping, Feilun and others also investigated them strictly. Although they could not strictly prohibit the people of the world from speaking, this undercurrent gradually disappeared.
By February of the sixth year of Jingkang, the envoy was ready and had already set off. There were many discussions in Chang'an City, but Han Xiaowei was on the mission to Beijing. What was the result? The judgment of the emperor's faults was no longer a hot topic of secret discussion.
