    "Where are Wang Qing and Tian Hu?"

    Chao Gai shook his head and said: "There hasn't been any movement between the two of them, but maybe the news has just been passed back. After you left, you delayed their envoys for two more days before you made it clear to them. Now it's only been five days before the news was passed back.  , they have made a decision, and it will take some time to send it to the front line. I don¡¯t want you to defeat the Liao Kingdom so quickly. It seems that the Di newspaper will use all its strength to publicize the fight against Xixia.¡±

    Chao Yong nodded and said: "What my father said is that we always have great righteousness. If they want to attack me, Daliang, they must also consider the people of the world."

    Chao Gai thought for a while and said: "Do you think we can ask them to send troops to resist Xixia? If they refuse, they will lose their support even more; if they agree, they can also share some of the pressure for you."

    Chao Yong shook his head and said: "Absolutely not. If they don't agree, it's okay. If they agree, they go to the front line to plot against us, or take the opportunity to seize territory at Yongxing Army and Qinfeng Road. Instead, we have to beware of them and cannot use all our troops. Or  They suffered casualties on the battlefield, and it would be difficult to say later that we deliberately depleted their troops."

    Chao Gai also hated these intrigues the most, and nodded: "You are right, you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others. It's just that Xixia sent 400,000 troops, and Weizhou has 50,000 of our troops, old people  There are 50,000 soldiers in the army, and 100,000 troops in each direction. Including your 40,000 reinforcements, the total is only 240,000. I'm afraid it will be difficult to defeat Xixia."

    Chao Yong said: "Although we have slightly fewer soldiers and horses, we have black gunpowder and it is not difficult to repel Xixia. We are afraid that Wang Qing and Tian Hu will cause trouble behind, so we can easily repel the Liao Kingdom. If we can achieve some results in the northwest,  Wang Qing and Tian Hu must be afraid that I, Daliang, will use the power of victory to wipe out them and dominate the world. At that time, I am afraid that they will risk the disapproval of the world and directly cut off our food supply, or send troops to disrupt us. "

    Chao Gai nodded and said: "Your worries are not unreasonable. There is no shortage of food and grass in Tokyo. In this way, before they break up, we can ask the navy to transport more food and grass to Qinfeng Road. Then you don't have to worry about the food route being cut off.  ¡±

    Chao Yong said: "Well, if the food and grass are constant, the morale of the army will not be chaotic, and it will be easy to wipe out the ugly people. I am afraid that Wang Qing and Tian Hu will use the excuse to send troops to help us fight against Xixia to seize the territory, or plot against us behind the scenes. If they really want to send troops.  , Father must not agree to them."

    Chao Gai nodded and said: "I know, but with Wang Qing and Tian Hu's vision, they will probably take the opportunity to seize the state capital of the Central Plains, so they shouldn't look so far ahead."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "The two of them are naturally short-sighted, but they are afraid that they have experts under them. By the way, where are the two groups of troops who attacked Gyeonggi and Jingdong now?"

    Chao Gai said: "Jingdong is where we raised our troops. In addition to having captured half of Jingdong before, Luan Tingyu and Qin Ming have captured all the prefectures in Jingdong. In fact, there was no battle. Zhao Ji's imperial edict and my army attacked both ways.  The capitals of all the states were waiting for the wind. They had already dispatched troops, but there were not many rogue bandits in Jingdong. They would return soon. Hu Yanzhuo and Shi Wengong encountered some resistance along the way, but they had gunpowder to break the city.  They are all brave enough to conquer the Gyeonggi area, but there are many broken troops and rogue bandits in the territory. It may take some time for them to clear them out. "

    Chao Yong nodded and said: "What's the situation in Jiangnan?"

    Chao Gai frowned and said: "The eunuch Tong Guan invited Zhao Zicheng, the sixth grandson of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, to be the emperor. He also said that there was a prophecy back then that 'the empress Taizu will have the world again'. We spread the word to the world, and we are just trying to cause chaos in the world.  Let the throne return to the descendants of Taizu, and then they can send troops north to destroy us. Many state capitals have issued documents of loyalty to the Emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty."

    Back then, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin died mysteriously. Zhao Kuangyin¡¯s two sons were adults and should have been passed down to his son.  But in the end, his younger brother Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi succeeded to the throne. For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the court.

    Zhao Guangyi said that the mother of the two was Empress Dowager Du. In view of the lesson that Shizong of the later Zhou Dynasty lost his country due to passing on the throne to an infant, he made a "Golden Chamber Alliance" with Zhao Kuangyin before his death and asked Zhao Kuangyin to pass the throne to him. The purpose was to consolidate development  Zhao Song Jiangshan.  But no one knew about this covenant, and it was also full of loopholes.

    Although Zhao Kuangyin is older than Zhao Guangyi, it is difficult to say that Zhao Kuangyin will die before Zhao Guangyi.  Furthermore, when Zhao Kuangyin died, his son Zhao Dezhao was already twenty-six years old, so he could not be said to be the youngest son.  Even if Empress Dowager Du and Zhao Kuangyin really have an agreement, there must be a time agreement. It is impossible for Zhao Kuangyin's son to pass the throne to Zhao Guangyi no matter how old he is.

    In addition, during his lifetime, Zhao Kuangyin appointed Zhao Dezhao to serve as Guizhou Defense Envoy, Xingyuan Yin, Shannan West Road Jiedu Envoy, School Inspector, Tong Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi and other official positions, which made Zhao Dezhao familiar with all civil and military matters in the DPRK and China.  He was trained as a future emperor.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? In addition, there is "Many people believed that Zhao Guangyi had killed his brother and usurped the throne due to the rumor of "Shadow of the Axe". Si Tianjian Miao Changyi was ordered to observe the stars and made a prophecy that "the emperor Taizu will have the world again".

    Zhao Guangyi finally managed to seize the world from his brother, how could he return the world to his descendants again?  But Si Tianjian represents God and is very influential among the people in the world.

    Zhao Guangyi was afraid that someone would use astronomy to make excuses again and shake his rule.

    In the second year after taking the throne, he ordered all prefectures and counties to escort astronomy practitioners to the capital. Anyone who "hides and fails to report will be punished with death." A total of hundreds of people were taken to the capital.

    Song Taizong said that the astronomical knowledge of these people was tested. Those who truly mastered scientific astronomical knowledge, that is, those who could "test and calculate" solar eclipses, lunar eclipses, eight festivals, and twenty-four qi through observation data were retained.  Next, those who used the theory of star divination to make up for their mistakes were imprisoned on the island.

    But another saying is that "those who obey me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish." If Song Taizong believed that his succession was legitimate, he would stay in the court as an official, and if he didn't want to be his wing, he would marry him.

    The second statement is obviously more reliable than the first. Otherwise, if it is just an assessment, even if they fail the assessment, they can be prohibited from using astronomy to talk about things, instead of trying to assassinate them.

    Zhao Guangyi later forced Zhao Kuangyin¡¯s son Zhao Dezhao to death. Zhao Kuangyin¡¯s other son Zhao Defang also died suddenly two years later, at the age of only 23.

    Zhao Tingmei, another brother of Zhao Guangyi, was accused of treason and repeatedly criticized, and finally died of depression.

    In this way, according to the "Golden Chamber Alliance", Zhao Guangyi had no one to pass on the throne, because his younger brother and Zhao Kuangyin's son died, so Zhao Guangyi passed the throne to his son.

    The names of Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Tingmei were originally Zhao Kuangyi and Zhao Kuangmei, but after Zhao Kuangyin became emperor, the brothers wanted to avoid their elder brother's taboo, so they changed them to Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Guangmei.  After Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne, Zhao Guangmei wanted to avoid the name Zhao Guangyi and changed it to Zhao Tingmei.

    Zhao Tingmei was also a poor person. In order to avoid taboos, she changed her name again and again, but in the end she was accused of treason because of the "Golden Chamber Alliance" fabricated by Zhao Guangyi, and she died in depression.

    The formation of the Golden Chamber Alliance was strange, and Zhao Kuangyin and his second son also died strangely. In fact, many people in Zhao Guangyi's lineage still despised the fact that father died and his son succeeded.

    Historically, the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed. After the only son of Song Gaozong Zhao Gou died in infancy, he had no heirs.

    There are rumors among the people that after Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin conquered the world, his descendants could not inherit the world, so he invited Jin soldiers to take revenge.  Many officials in the court also suggested that Song Gaozong choose a descendant from Song Taizu's lineage to be the crown prince, who was also a descendant of Taizu.

    Song Gaozong is the son of Song Huizong. His other brothers have been kidnapped by the Jin people, and there are no close relatives around him.  So he also found a descendant of Song Taizu to be the prince, so as to stop the people of the world from talking.

    This was how Song Renzong came about. Song Renzong was the son of Zhao Zicheng and the seventh grandson of Song Taizu.

    Therefore, Tong Guan used the descendants of Taizu to talk about the matter, but it was very marketable and attracted some people to seek refuge.  In addition, many state capitals in the Song Dynasty were corrupt officials and tried to gain power, so those who defected to Daliang might be punished with death, but those who defected to the new dynasty could still get promoted to a higher position.  Therefore, after Tong Guan issued the proclamation, many state capitals were loyal to him.

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "Tong Guan's previous victory over Fangla was entirely due to the bravery of the Western Army. Now that the Western Army has arrived at Qinfeng Road, after I fight back the Xixia with them, the Western Army will definitely be loyal to me. Tong Guan's defeat of the Western Army means that he has occupied Daliang."  After conquering the whole of Jiangnan, there is nothing to fear. Once I have defeated Xixia and wiped out Tian Hu and Wang Qing, I can lead my troops southward and wipe out the remnants of the Song Dynasty. As long as the eunuch does not jump into the sea, I will surely catch him.  he."

    Chao Gai nodded and said: "Okay, with you leading our Daliang army, I believe it won't be long before this world belongs to our Chao family. Wu Yong also thought of a plan. We also captured some descendants of Song Taizu, one of whom  Zhao Zisong, also the sixth grandson of Song Taizu, was a contemporary of Zhao Zicheng who was supported by Tong Guan. He was a Jinshi in Chongning for five years. He was previously Zongzheng Shaoqing and was in charge of royal affairs. He had great prestige in the Song Dynasty royal family. Wu Yong suggested that this person be promoted.  Send him to Jiangnan, kidnap him and establish another Southern Song Dynasty court to divide Jiangnan to prevent Tong Guan from becoming powerful. "

    Chao Yong asked curiously: "What is this person's temperament like?"

    Chao Gai frowned and said: "This man has a somewhat strong temperament, and he is both civil and military. I am afraid it is difficult to control, so I am hesitant."

    Chao Yong thought for a while and said: "Since this man is difficult to control, we don't need to support him to become emperor, so let's return him to the south of the Yangtze River. That eunuch Tong Guan is in charge of the military, so he must have just created a puppet. Let's let him  This man went back to help the emperor fight with Tong Guan. We sent back all the descendants of Song Taizu, so that the emperor would not be weak and become Tong Guan's puppet. Tong Guan would not be able to establish the Southern Song Dynasty alone.If you are willing to delegate power, there will probably be internal strife.  "

    Chao Gai nodded and said: "We don't need to do anything about this. I will let them go south tomorrow." (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
