    In the first year of Baoqing's reign in the Song Dynasty, in the study room of the palace, His Majesty the Emperor was discussing matters with the Prime Minister.  "Prime Minister, now the courtiers are strongly advocating cutting down the gold to avenge the late emperor. What should I do?" His Majesty the Emperor said in fear.  "Your Majesty, this matter has not been finalized yet and remains to be discussed. If you rush to raise troops and start a war, it will not be a blessing to the people of Li and the country. I hope your Majesty will think twice." Shi Miyuan warned.  "I don't want to be like this, but those courtiers" His Majesty the Emperor said worriedly.  "Your Majesty, don't worry. Those ministers colluded with Mongolia. First they wanted to assassinate the veteran minister, and now they want to provoke a war and disrupt the court. They are unforgivable crimes. The veteran minister is willing to clean up the court and rectify the rules and regulations for your majesty." Shi Miyuan said sternly.  .  "That's all thanks to the Prime Minister." His Majesty the Emperor said with peace of mind.  Shi Miyuan bowed and exited the study, showing a satisfied smile. This emperor was just as he expected. He was from a humble background, had no orthodox royal education, had limited knowledge of court affairs, had a weak character, and was hesitant when things happened. It was completely up to him.  Under control, this shows that his choice is correct.  His Majesty the Emperor looked at Shi Miyuan's back and also showed a satisfied smile. Those war factions should let the Prime Minister worry about it. He continued to play the cowardly and incompetent emperor, which not only satisfied Shi Miyuan's desire for power, but also gave the Lord  If the war faction gives an explanation, why not do it.  This is the best explanation of the faint king and the annihilating ministers.  Yang Kang was not worried about what Shi Miyuan would do to those warring factions. The Song Dynasty was a country with a relatively high degree of freedom of speech. Because it was governed by civilian officials, intellectuals were treated very well.  The Song Dynasty has been well reflected. Even if it makes a big mistake, the most serious thing is to be exiled. The most common mistake is to be idle at home and can be used at any time.  On the second day, the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty Shi Miyuan went to the court to frame the main war faction headed by Hong Zikui and Hu Mengyu. The two sides engaged in a war of words. The empress dowager behind the curtain tried to persuade them to make peace, and the entire court was in chaos.  As the dispute intensified, His Majesty the Emperor kept showing expressions of nervousness, worry, hesitation, etc. He could definitely be called the Emperor of Expressions. Unfortunately, no one appreciated His Majesty the Emperor's wonderful performance. He was completely ignored. This cannot but be said.  It's sad to say that.  In the end, Shi Miyuan demoted several war-fighting officials in the court to serve in various places in the Song Dynasty, ending the court meeting.  The main war faction of the Song Dynasty failed again. They originally thought that the new emperor came to power and had a righteous name to avenge the previous emperor. They could raise their troops to attack the Jin Dynasty and bring down the prime minister Shi Miyuan, so that the Song Dynasty could begin to revive.  , It's a pity that they were disappointed. The power of the government was still in the hands of Shi Miyuan and the Empress Dowager, and the new emperor was just a puppet. These ministers walked out of the palace, looked up to the sky and sighed, sad for themselves and the country. The emperor was fatuous and the ministers were in power. Song Dynasty  Where is the future of the country?  However, the matter did not end there. The demotion of the war-fighting officials became a trigger. First, a student named Zhengzheng in the center of Taixue issued a petition to avenge the late emperor and remove Prime Minister Shi Miyuan. Then the people also began to  If the emperor of your country is killed and does not take revenge despite criticism, not only will you lose the face of the country, but the people will also feel humiliated.  For a moment, it seemed that the humiliation that had been suppressed for a hundred years suddenly burst out. After the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty blindly surrendered and tolerated, ceded land to pay compensation, servilely, and lingered. All these emotions finally found an outlet, that is, for the first  The emperor takes revenge and avenges his shame.  Officials from all over the Song Dynasty submitted memorials one after another, requesting to send troops to attack the Jin Dynasty. Scholars from all over the country jointly petitioned for the purge of the imperial court. People talked a lot, and the entire Lin'an City fell into a frenzy. It is conceivable that not long after, the entire Song Dynasty  This will always be the case.  This is accidental, but also inevitable. The Song Dynasty has been silent for too long. If it does not break out in silence, it will perish in silence. The assassination of Emperor Zhao Kuo and Shi Miyuan's demotion of the war ministers completely aroused the fighting spirit of the people of Song Dynasty.  People¡¯s support is available!  Yang Kang looked at the thick stack of memorials asking for gold, and listened to the news that Xie Yili got from outside, and sighed like this. There must be someone behind this incident, but it can also be seen from this that the people of the Song Dynasty are not weak.  , also has a bloody surname and fighting spirit, but this time he was taken advantage of.  Xie Yili carefully looked at this former classmate, now His Majesty the Emperor. He didn't know what His Majesty the Emperor would choose. The people had already classified the emperor who had just ascended the throne for a month as a coward, but he understood the current situation.  In the court situation, the power does not lie in the hands of the emperor. Shi Miyuan is a capitulator, and the empress dowager is a womanly woman who does not like to fight and only wants to enjoy peace.  The great scholar Xie is neither a war faction nor a surrender faction. He is a moderate faction and will vote for whoever gains power. Now his heart is for His Majesty the Emperor. The emperor is still young, but Shi Miyuan is already old. When he thinks about it,  As long as we follow the footsteps of His Majesty the Emperor and survive these few yearsIt's time for him to show his talents. No matter how powerful he is, he will not be able to escape the fate of birth, old age, illness and death.  While Xie Yili was thinking about it, Prime Minister Shi Miyuan came. Xie Yili saluted flatteringly and hurriedly retreated.  The Prime Minister is also troubled. In this age where fame is important, no one wants to be evaluated as a minister who annihilates ministers. This will be written into the history books. He does not think that he is a minister who annihilates ministers, but at most a minister of power. He thinks that what he has done is a minister of annihilation.  Everything they did was for the good of the Song Dynasty. Those ministers who wanted to fight were the real trouble for the Song Dynasty. It would be great if they could win the war, but could they really win?  However, this time the matter was a bit tricky. He sent people to the Kingdom of Jin to inquire, hoping to get a negative answer. As long as the Kingdom of Jin denied that it was related to the assassination of the late emperor, then he would have an excuse to suppress domestic public opinion, but the Kingdom of Jin did not  No answer was given, which gave Shi Miyuan a headache. Jin Guo was not even willing to give him an excuse.  Rongwang Wanyan Hongxi ignored the envoy's inquiry from the Song Dynasty. He thought it was a very funny thing. The third prince believed that the person who assassinated Zhao Kuo was none other than the current Emperor of the Song Dynasty. His Majesty the Emperor wanted to ascend the throne.  He took the throne of the Jin Kingdom and murdered Lao Liu, so why not kill another Song emperor now? These envoys from the Song Kingdom actually had the nerve to question the Jin Kingdom. It would be better to go back and ask their own emperor.  King Rong just wanted to see the reaction of the new emperor of the Song Dynasty. If the emperor was really determined to use this excuse to attack the Jin Kingdom, he would not hesitate to fight.  In the study room of the Song Dynasty palace, the emperor and the ministers gathered together again.  "Prime Minister, what should we do?" His Majesty the Emperor pointed at the memorials and said in panic.  "Your Majesty, I am incompetent." Shi Miyuan apologized, "It is a crime of great disrespect for the scholars and the common people to use the hatred of the late emperor as an excuse to force the superiors from below. However, the trend has become unstoppable at this time." "Then, there is only one option.  A battle?" His Majesty the Emperor asked tentatively.  "Now we can only pretend to attack to use the people's anger, and we will discuss it next year." Shi Miyuan proposed a delaying method.  In the winter of 1219 AD, the first year of Baoqing of the Song Dynasty, under the pressure of domestic public opinion, Emperor Zhao Yun ordered to mobilize troops to gather along the Yangtze River with the intention of the Northern Expedition. The Jin Kingdom also mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to prepare for the invasion. The Yangtze River was blocked and the situation was urgent.  The Song State and the Jin State are about to go to war.  Before the Yangtze River was blocked, a small boat crossed the river to the north. The person on the boat was Lou Shidao, the former Prime Minister of the Jin Kingdom.  (To be continued.)
