The reason why Lou Shidao stayed in the Jin Kingdom for such a long time was not only to coordinate the fake war between the two countries and counterattack Shi Miyuan, but also to discuss with Rong Wang Wanyan Hongxi the secret cooperation between the Song and Jin Kingdoms. Since There will no longer be rash war between the two countries, so the Jin Kingdom can secretly deploy the defensive troops along the Yangtze River to the north to form an effective defense against Mongolia. This was originally Yang Kang's plan. The Song and Jin states deployed hundreds of thousands of troops along the Yangtze River in order to defend each other. If all these armies could be used to defend Mongolia, the situation would be very different. If Yang Kang's Han identity was not exposed, he would Holding the imperial power of two countries, he can naturally act according to the plan, but at this time he cannot control the Jin Kingdom. King Rong will be worried that if he withdraws his army, the Song army will be able to march straight into the imperial city of Kaifeng. After all, this is a question of trust! In this world, neither verbal promises nor covenants written on paper can guarantee that Yang Kang will not take the opportunity to destroy the Jin Kingdom. Maybe he really has not thought about destroying the Jin Kingdom at this moment, but there is no guarantee that when his desire for power gradually expands, If we don't have this idea in the future, people will change. This is the scary thing. The third prince only agreed to mobilize some troops to defend Hebei. This was the limit of what he could do. He had to consider the survival of his country and ethnic group and could not put the future of the Kingdom of Jin above his trust in one person. , that is irresponsible to the entire country. His Majesty the Emperor knew that this was the best result at the moment. He only hoped that Mongolia could give him longer preparation time. Lou Shidao also brought back one thing, that is, the rebels in the Jin Kingdom. With the decline of the Jin Kingdom's rule , domestic rebel armies emerged one after another, plunging various parts of the Jin Kingdom into war. King Rong's consistent strategy was to wipe them out, but the rebel armies were like weeds, a new one would grow after one crop was cut. Lou Shidao's idea was to appease, of course not the Jin court, but the Song court, and to recruit the rebels in the Jin country. This would not only calm the Jin country and allow it to develop well, but also provide support for the Song Dynasty. The state provided a powerful army, but the rebels were mixed. There were heroes who truly served the country and the people, and there were also bandits and bandits who only wanted glory and wealth. This required a capable Song official to screen and rule. His Majesty the Emperor thought for a while and concluded that this matter cannot be left to the ministers. It must be done by capable ministers who are dedicated to the country and have considerable means. Lou Shidao is undoubtedly the best choice, but the identity of Guangming Zuo Envoy is more embarrassing. , not suitable for public appearances, a person emerged in Yang Kang's mind. This person was the former magistrate of Baoying County, and now he has been promoted to Huaidong Tidian Penal Prison and Chuzhou Controller Jingdong Road Zhongyi Soldiers and Horses. Jia She was able to withstand the army of King Rong Wanyan Hongxi in the Baoying Defense Battle a few years ago, which shows that he was quite strategic. Now that he controls Jianghuai affairs, he can just accept the rebels from the Jin Kingdom and put these rebels in Jianghuai Select the area, eliminate the dross, disperse it, and then move it to Sichuan to defend Mongolia, thus killing two birds with one stone. With Jia She in the light and Lou Shidao in the dark, there should be no problem. I asked Xie Yili, the counselor and political officer, to submit a memorial to this matter. I guess the empress dowager would not object. When His Majesty the Emperor returned to the palace, Mu Nianci told him that a minister wanted to see him and was waiting in the study. These ministers were quite helpless. They wanted to ask to see the emperor, but the emperor was at Mu Zhaorong's place in the harem. The palace servants went over to spread the word that Mu Zhaorong was indeed with the emperor, but in bed. Naturally, the palace officials did not dare to say nonsense, but The ministers can guess some clues from the strange expressions of the palace people. This kind of thing cannot be rushed. No one wants to be disturbed at this time. What a misfortune for the country! The ministers sighed in their hearts, but what could they do? They still had to place their hopes on His Majesty the Emperor. They could only hope in their hearts that the Queen Mother would delegate power early so that His Majesty the Emperor could govern personally and become a little wiser with their assistance. For some, this is already their greatest expectation. While the ministers were waiting anxiously, His Majesty the Emperor came late, greeted the ministers with a tired look, and then sat down listlessly on the dragon chair, waiting for the ministers' advice, and finally persuaded His Majesty the Emperor to pay attention. After the usual program of dragon body and etiquette, these warring ministers revealed their intentions. That is the matter of the alliance between Song and Mongolia. A fake fight between the Song State and the Jin State greatly angered the Mongols, but they did not doubt His Majesty the Emperor, but believed that this was Shi Miyuan's trick. In the subsequent public opinion in the Song State to overthrow Shi Miyuan, the Mongols also It played a big role. Now that Shi Miyuan has stepped down, the Mongols have seen hope again. Although the Empress Dowager of the Song Dynasty has great power and is not a capitulator, she does not like to fight and kill, and only hopes to live in peace and stability. In the future, if you want to provoke conflicts between Song and Jin, you still have to start with the Emperor of Song. Forming an alliance is only the first step. "It's not that I don't want to attack the Kingdom of Jin, it would be a shame for Jingkang, but what if I lose?" The emperor saidHis Majesty said worriedly. "Your Majesty, this is the benefit of forming an alliance with Mongolia. When the two countries work together to cut down the gold, why worry about big things happening?" Hong Zikui, the war minister, advised. "Hong Qing, when the late emperor was in power, he also formed an alliance with the Mongols, but what was the result? The Mongolians withdrew their troops without permission, causing humiliation to the country. The late emperor was unhappy. It can be seen that the Mongolians are unfaithful and cannot be trusted." His Majesty the Emperor shook his head. "Your Majesty, that's because Mongolia was suddenly invaded by foreign enemies" Hong Zikui defended. "Hong Qing, please don't mention this matter again." His Majesty the Emperor stopped him, "I dare not believe it unless someone guarantees it." "What kind of guarantee does your Majesty want?" Hong Zikui asked. "I heard that Princess Huazheng of Mongolia is very beautiful. If she can marry me, wouldn't it be the best guarantee for Song and Mongolia to become Qin and Jin?" His Majesty the Emperor said with a lustful look. The warring ministers below looked at each other. Although His Majesty the Emperor's proposal was to satisfy his own desires, it was also a way. This at least gave him a guarantee on the surface. Even if he said that Mongolia destroyed the Jin Kingdom, as long as he and the With this kind of in-law relationship, the Song Dynasty can always maintain superficial peace. The key is to see whether the Mongols are willing. Looking at the ministers leaving, His Majesty the Emperor did not take this matter to heart. He pulled Huazheng out just as an excuse to stop the Mongols. He has not yet formed an alliance with the Mongols. plan, and based on Huazheng's status in Mongolia, and Tuo Lei's concern for Huazheng, he would never marry his sister to the Song Dynasty, let alone marry a fatuous and lustful emperor, so let those warring ministers and Mongolians Let's negotiate. His Majesty the Emperor thought proudly, turned around and walked into the harem. He and Mu Zhaoyi have not finished their work yet. (To be continued.)
