Zonghan's army has been unable to attack Taiyuan for a long time, but its momentum has had a great influence. Taiyuan was surrounded, and some people rumored that the Song army wanted to kill all the people. People in Hedong called the Yisheng Army adapted from the Song Dynasty as the people who were recruited, so the Yisheng Army in Pingyang Prefecture

More than 4,000 people were uneasy, and the leader of the Yisheng Army Liu Sichu sent troops to plunder Pingyang City and surrendered to Jin. Zonghan's army besieged Taiyuan City on the one hand, and on the other hand, under the guidance of the Yisheng Army who surrendered to Jin, they captured Longde.

The government and the troops reached Gaoping County and the rafted far to Zezhou.

Soon, Zong Han heard that the Jin East Route Army had signed an alliance with the Song regime to negotiate peace, so he returned to Taiyuan and continued to siege, and occasionally invaded Shanxi. However, Zong Han heard that Wanyan Wuli had obtained a large amount of gold and silver from the Song Dynasty, so he also sent him

The envoy came to Tokyo to blackmail. He just gave Wanyan Olibu a lot of gold, silver, mules and horses. Now Wanyan's Western Army is still in Taiyuan, so the people who blackmailed money went to Tokyo first. The Northern Song Dynasty court felt that this was really a bully.

Too much, he refused his request.

After the Jin army withdrew its troops in the Song Dynasty, public opinion was in full swing, and the three towns of Hejian and Taiyuan were criticized fiercely. Minister Chao Ji wrote a letter to discuss the three towns that should not be abandoned. He pointed out: "Anyone who ruled the world will get Hebei.

The world is in the world, if Hebei is lost, he will lose his subordinates. Any country with a country, if Hebei is obtained, his country will prosper, and if Hebei is lost, his country will be weak. Also, if Hebei is not upright, if Hebei is obtained, he will be strong. If Hebei is correct, if Hebei is lost,

Weak. Although the country has no moral integrity, if it is strong if it is gained from Hebei, if it is not unreasonable, if it is lost from Hebei, if it is weak if it is lost, it is strongly opposed to abandoning the three towns.

Others also wrote letters to oppose the cedes of the three towns and condemned the peace faction. Under the pressure of public opinion, Zhao Huan issued an edict to ask the three generals of Hebei to defend the three towns and be promoted to the prefect of the above three towns as the prefect.

The Grand Secretary of the Zizheng Hall mobilized the kingly troops to support the three towns of Taiyuan, Zhongshan and Hejian.

Under the guidance of this anti-Jin strategy, Wang De, general of Yao Gu of the Song army, captured Yao Fan, the prefect of Jin, and recovered Longde Prefecture and Weisheng Army. At that time, Hebei was also relatively stable, and Zhong Shidao's troops fought with the Jin soldiers for 80 years.

The rest of the year killed and captured 599 Jin soldiers, captured 8,553 livestock, cloud ladders, goose carts, caves, armor, flags and drums, etc., 17,46 pairs, pieces.

He seized forty-three chariots of food and grass, seized gold, silver, cloth, etc., and regained the 5,201 military population of the capital and the states. The Song army revived.

Han Libu still wanted to capture the three towns, so he sent envoys to urge the Song side to quickly transfer Taiyuan, Zhongshan and Hejian towns together with the prefectures and counties. Song magistrates Zhang Xiaochun, Taiyuan Prefecture, Chen Go, Zhongshan Prefecture, and Zhan Du, Hejian Prefecture.

The three tough guys still stick to the city and do not eat the hard and soft things. Zhao Huan also adopted the opinions of Geng Nanzhong and other ministers. He also sent letters to the state and gold, requesting that the three towns be exempted from being cut off and replaced by rent and tax.

On the other hand, Zhao Huan was granted the title of Taiwei of Zong Shidao and the Xuanfu Envoy of Hedong and Hebei. He led a large army to station in Huazhou. He led a commander Hao Huai to lead 20,000 troops to guard Heyang natural barriers to prevent the Jin army from crossing the river. After Zhong Shidao received the order.

Zhao Ji thought it was a good idea and approved the court to summon troops from all over the world to gather on the bank of the Yellow River to avoid repeating the tragedy of the Olibu East Army coming to the city. He thought it was a good idea, so he approved Zhong Shidao's application.

Unexpectedly, just half a day later, another prime minister told the emperor that we would transfer all the troops and horses from all over the world, and the cost would be too high. If the Jin army on the west side did not cross the river to attack, wouldn’t we be in vain? Zhao Huan thought it made sense again

, and then issued another order to cancel the original decision. Zhong Shidao was tortured by Qin Zong for several times, but he couldn't stand it anymore, so he said that he was old and was still seriously ill, so he asked for retirement and was approved.

.So, after being the Xuanfu envoy for two days, Zhong Shidao was dismissed from office again.

Zhao Huan is a standard fence-riding faction to treat foreign enemies. He is prepared for both hands, but Zhao Huan's snake and rat approach makes the ministers below confused and at a loss. The two factions of the main peace and the main war will not fight. , but the secret fight continues...

The situation gradually improved, and Zhao Huan gradually relegated the power of the court to his own hands by frequently changing the throne. At this time, his work focus began to shift to his father, the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji. Power is charming, and once you have it, you will become addicted and don't want to go again Loss. What's more, Zhao Huan endured humiliation and suffered heavy burdens for eighteen years, so how could he be willing to restore his father? How could Zhao Ji, who was wandering in the south of the Yangtze River, be willing to give in?

Both father and son knew in their hearts that abdication that day was just a play! Zhao Ji didn't want to abdicate, and originally wanted to act like a mistake to regain his heart. However, Wu Min and Li Gangzhen wrote a letter to ask him to abdicate. Under the pressure of internal and external affairs, he had no choice but to abdicate. Since Zhao Huan was so unwilling to take over the emperor's rank, so good. Now that the Jin soldiers have retreated, you should return the position to your father, but not only did he have no idea, but also Do your best to preserve the throne!

On that day, Zhao Ji hurriedly abdicated on the eve of the siege of the Jin soldiers and fled to Jiangnan overnight. In fact, he had already concluded that the East Stable would be lost. When the capital fell, Zhao Huan and the court officials who advised him to step down must be dead. Forgetful death. By then, Zhao Ji could have been the emperor as the emperor for granted, and rebuild the court with the southeast half of the country.

Therefore, after Zhao Ji arrived in Jiangnan, he issued three consecutive edicts: intercepting the corners, stopping the king, and keeping the grain. These three "authorous edicts" are all important and will prevent the court from ordering the southeast, and the capital is in short supply of troops and food. The Tokyo regime is difficult to maintain, and the Southeast will be promoted from Zhu Xie's "small court" to the Supreme Emperor's "big court"

But man's plan is not as good as God's plan. Zhao Huan not only guarded the Dongfan stable, but also coaxed the Jurchens away. Now Zhao Ji's position is awkward. And his group of favorite ministers, Cai You, Tong Guan, Zhu Xie, etc., were accompanied by his favorite ministers, including Cai You, Tong Guan, Zhu Xie and others. People also understand that the retreat of the Jin soldiers may not be a good thing for their monarch and ministers, especially Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others. Everyone in the world wants to kill them quickly. Tai students and ministers of the court have repeatedly written to them. Zhao Huan requested to kill this son-in-law who harmed the people and committed the most evil traitor.

Previously, Zhao Huan was to quell the public outrage, and to avenge personal grudges, he killed Li Yan, Wang Fu, Liang Shicheng and Liang Fangping one after another, and launched a large-scale reform of political affairs. If the Supreme Emperor was called emperor, they could still be in the middle and high-ranking officials in the small court. , , live a long life, but if you return to Beijing now, it will definitely be a bad luck. Therefore, Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others also figured out Zhao Ji's thoughts on restoration.

But there is no day, and there is no two kings in the country. Of course, Zhao Huan would not wait for death. He understood that if his father couldn't handle it well, things would be even more difficult. The Southeast region was the most economically developed and wealthy in the country at that time. The region, and the southeastern routes are also the areas where Cai Jing and Zhu Jie and his son have been running the longest and have the deepest foundation. As we all know, Zhu Jie is the local snake in his hometown Pingjiang Prefecture and even the entire southeastern region. It is known as the "small court in the southeast" and Hangzhou. It was Cai Jing's old nest. At this time, Zhao Ji was surrounded by Shengjie Army, led by Tong Guan, and he had established a new imperial court in the southeast, issued orders, and lived an imperial life again.

When the Jin soldiers besieged the city, there were many officials who went to the southeast without approval. There was a situation where "there were three or four people who went to the court, and the class was empty and everyone was shocked" and almost ruined the court.

On the contrary, the government of Taoist king and the Jiangnan area gathered all officials. If these former dynasties used the southeast as the base and raised their arms and shouted, they would definitely be like clouds.

Zhao Huan summoned all the ministers to discuss countermeasures, and some people suggested that Nie Chang lead a powerful brigade to Zhenjiang and pick Zhao Ji back to Tokyo. If Tong Guan and others dared to lead troops to obstruct, they would raise troops to capture and kill the traitors; some people thought it was inappropriate to send troops to take over.

, Tong Guan will lead his troops to fight. If they cannot win a battle, they will hold the Supreme Emperor hostage to the southeast or enter Shu, and your Majesty will be difficult to deal with. It is better to ask the Supreme Emperor to issue an edict to punish him first and then stop these people.

Official position; Some people also say that if you deal with important officials in the Supreme Emperor without authorization, it will hurt the Supreme Emperor's heart. It is too unfilial. It is better to demote a few people first, and after the future is calm, then issue an edict to punish everyone. People in the world will be

There is nothing to say.

Zhao Huan also knew that this matter was "only tempted, not forced". At this time, the news came from the southeast that the Supreme Emperor was a little sad in Jiangnan...

The Southeast region is very rich, but it is because of its wealth that it has caused trouble and has become the most exploited area, especially the Huashigang that has caused everyone to be badly harmed. The initiator was the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji who came here to take refuge, and he didn't know how to restrain himself when he came.

Well, not only do you want to travel around, but you even harass the place. You need to eat, drink and money. After arriving in Zhenjiang, you will build a large-scale construction and build a building.

Later, the prefect of Zhenjiang could not bear it anymore and reported to the court to complain that the Supreme Emperor was so good at spending money. The expenses of the palace alone cost 200,000 guan per month, and the officers and soldiers guarded also cost 6,000 guan a day. Is this small temple in my place?

If you can't afford it, if this continues, the Liangzhe area is very likely to cause civil rebellion again. Zhao Ji's few people were not welcomed. Tong Guan conquers Fang La to the southeast, kills good people and takes great consequences, and the public is extremely angry. Although Zhu Jie's foundation is

It is deep, but it also has the deepest grudges in the southeast. The people of Liangzhe are afraid of it like tigers wanting to eat their meat.

These people have always been used to intrigue with each other. After fleeing south, they brought their problems to Jiangnan again, but they still fought each other. At the beginning of arriving in Sizhou, Tong Guan facilitated Gao Qiu's conflict, and a burst of arrows scared Gao Qiu away.

After the Jin army withdrew, some unavoidable officials left and quietly returned home without saying goodbye. Most of the Shengjie army officers and soldiers who escorted Zhao Ji were from the northwest. They were in the southeast, and they had no language and were inconvenient to live, and they still missed their hometown.

I was eager to go home.

It can be said that Zhao Ji was very sad at this time in the Southeast. Not only were he betrayed by his relatives, his team was in chaos and his crisis was everywhere, but he also had a mutiny and civilian change was about to break out. Zhao Huan knew that his opportunity had come, so he extended an olive branch to his father and warmly invited his father back to Beijing.

.

Zhao Ji is now in trouble. If the local officials do not obey the order, they will have no money to spend. If they have no money to spend, they will go hungry. Seeing that their son sent someone to greet him, he agreed to lead the team north after explanation and pretentiousness. Zhao Huan struck while the iron was hot.

, immediately appointed Yingfeng envoy to welcome him, and at the same time issued an edict to demote Cai Jing to the secretary-general, branch Nanjing, retire, and live in Henan Prefecture; Tong Guan retired as the general of the left guard and lived in Chizhou; Cai Jing's son Cai You was promoted to the Taizhong Doctor

In the Mingdao Palace in Bozhou, plus Liang Shicheng and Wang Fu, who had been slaughtered, his father's right-hand man was almost completely dismantled.

After all, I abandoned the capital and fled when the country was in the most dangerous situation. I threw the danger to my son. Will my son settle the accounts for him and what will he do to himself? Zhao Ji felt that returning to Kaifeng was not the best strategy, so he walked halfway.

Wandering in Yingtian Mansion, he went to Shangqing Palace in Bozhou to burn incense. But he felt that since he had agreed to go back to the court, it was not good to go back, so he asked the Supreme Empress Zheng to return to Bianliang to fight the front station. Of course, if he could get his son's kindness

Then I went back, otherwise I would go to Xijing Luoyang to settle down.

Zhao Huan remained calm and respectfully took the Supreme Empress into the stable, changed the Jingyuan to Ningde Palace, renovated it, and asked him to live there. He also issued an edict to the people who followed Zhao Ji, saying, "After the Supreme Emperor, visiting the southeast."

When the officials returned to the stable, they would give them rewards to reward the supporter. Except for the guilty person who was forced to demote the official position under the public opinion, the censors shall not pursue impeachment against the other officials in the future."

Zhao Ji learned that nothing was abnormal, so he slowly set off for a return. After arriving in Nanjing, Zhao Ji still felt unsure and stopped again. He wrote a letter to ask Zhao Huan why he carried out a major reform of political affairs, and asked Wu Min to be summoned.

, Li Gang went to Nanjing to meet him.

Wu Min and Li Gang strongly advocated Zhao Ji's abdication. People in the court were speculating on Zhao Ji's intentions. Most people think that Wu Min and Li Gang's trip may be unexpected. Wu Min feels that going to Nanjing at this time is probably because he is a self-investigation.

.Li Gang has already quite understood the two emperors Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan in the past few months. He expected that Zhao Ji, who had lost all his heart, would not dare to attack easily until he was forced to do so.

Furthermore, if Wu Min and himself did not go, Zhao Ji would definitely not dare to return to Beijing. This would push him on the road to revival. Once Zhao Ji restored, the country would inevitably be divided and civil war. Li Gang felt that even if there was danger, his life and death would be

There was no choice but to put it aside again. Li Gang calmly asked for an order and went to Nanjing alone to see Zhao Ji first, moved him to see him with emotion and reason. Zhao Ji was moved and agreed to return to Beijing. After Li Gang returned to Tokyo, he brought Zhao Ji's words to Zhao Huan

, Zhao Huan finally breathed a sigh of relief...

On April 3, Zhao Ji and his men returned to the stable leisurely. It seemed that no war had happened. He just made a trip to Jiangnan. Zhao Huan led all civil and military officials out of the city five miles away to welcome him. The father and son hugged their heads and cried bitterly when they met.

He sent his father to Longde Palace to live.

The next day, Zhao Huan officially accepted the congratulations of his ministers in Zichen Hall, and drove to Longde Palace to pay tribute to the Taoist lord. Daojun called himself old and cunned, calling his eldest son Your Majesty, and praised him for his predecessor. He praised him for his good father, son, and filial son, and the king and his ministers.

The touching scene, and Zhao Ji seemed to accept the fact that he retreated to the second line.

Since the fish has entered the net, it is time to close the net. Zhao Huan’s current task is to consolidate the throne. He issued an edict to appoint his trusted minister Geng Nanzhong as his subordinate minister. On April 6, he was anxious to establish his eldest son who was less than ten years old.

Zhao Chen was the crown prince. At this time, everyone suddenly realized that the emperor was prepared.

As early as the 16th day of the first lunar month of the first year of Jingkang, when the Jin army besieged the city. Zhao Huan quickly appointed his son Zhao Chen, who was less than ten years old in the seventh year of Zhenghe, as the prince of the county of Daning. Yu Ying, the proofreader of the Secretariat.

It was difficult to understand the truth, and the memorial was submitted to raise objections, thinking that it was inappropriate at this time. Zhao Huan ignored it. Now on the fourth day after the Taoist Lord returned to the stable, he was impatient to hold the ceremony to enthrone Zhao Chen as the crown prince, and the intention was to eliminate Taoism.

Any possibility of restoration.

Afterwards, Zhao Huan replaced all the guards around Zhao Ji's side with his confidants, and drove all the ten eunuchs, including Chen Sigong, Xiao Dao, Li Cong, out of the palace, and if they dare to take a step further, they will behead them. There are always envoys in the world who see the wind

The rudderman immediately saw the direction of the wind from the emperor's words and deeds, and submitted a memorial to expose the eunuchs, Wang Jiandao, and Deng Wengao, and also tried their best to collect a lot of charges for them, saying that they tried to sow discord between the relationship between the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor, spread rumors, and spread rumors.

, there is no need to ask about the result. In this way, Zhao Ji has no more people to rely on and have the power to summon him, and Zhao Huan put him under his close surveillance!

After these traitors were severely punished one after another, just as Zhao Huan wished, the condemnation among the court and the country did not stop, and there was a tendency to expand. This was exactly the same as Zhao Huan's wish. With the help of the angry voice of the whole country, he issued an edict to promote Cai Jing.

Tong Guan, Wang Fu, Zhu Xie and others all cut off their official positions and seized their titles. After several stormy purges, almost all the powerful ministers and their former ministers of the previous dynasty disappeared in the court.

Zhao Ji's life became to stay in Longde Palace every day, except drinking and painting. He always felt that political affairs were hard and longed for a life of a literary life. When he really realized his life wish, he never had it.

With the power of responding to the hundreds of responses, there are not only flattering people around him, but also lack of serving people who know the cold and the heat. He is also lost and has become unwilling to accept his heart. This is also a common problem for public servants who have retired and retired.

Let a person who is used to living in the eyes of everyone and surrounded by flowers and applause will be even more uncomfortable than killing him. But Zhao Ji is not only sighing and regretting the past, but he can only think back on all the glorious days before.

Yes, and the Song Dynasty truly completed the handover of supreme power, but only God knows whether it is a blessing or a disaster for the people of the country!

………

The treacherous ministers in the capital were killed and the Supreme Emperor was in full swing, but it seemed to have no effect on Zhao Qi, who was far away in the northwest. Chen Dong led a group of Tai students who defected to him, and had already moved to the river with the help of the Intelligence Department.

The arrival changed his dilemma of lack of civil servants and staff.

Taixue is an educational institution that specializes in cultivating intermediate state officials. As long as you can graduate, you can become an official and enter the national leadership. These Taixue students have studied for many years, and they have the knowledge of governance, but what they lack is practice. Now Xijingshuo is now

Zhou, Huanzhou, Yingzhou, Dezhou and the newly acquired Dongshengzhou all lack officials, which can be just enough to top it and accumulate experience.

The battle in Baigou made him accumulate more funds. He took out a sum of money to reward the navy that participated in the war. The rest were stored in Cheng Xishou for later use. As for his two relatives, they were asked to recuperate at the beach.
