In the winter of the second year of Baoqing's reign in the Song Dynasty, Mongolian envoys came to Lin'an Imperial City to discuss the matter of jointly harvesting gold from the two countries in the coming spring. After the fourth prince of Mongolia calmed down, from the perspective of military strategy, he first joined forces with the Song State to attack the Jin State. After occupying the Jin State, he suddenly took action, attacking it unprepared and annihilating the main army of the Song State. He pointed his sword at the south of the Yangtze River. The Song State had always been weak. With a compromising attitude, he would definitely seek peace with Mongolia, so that he could force the Emperor of Song to let his sister return to the north. Yang Kang was quite surprised when he received the news. He originally thought that the Mongolian Western Expedition would take at least several years, allowing him to make arrangements calmly. However, just one year later, Mongolia ended the Western Expedition and started to conquer gold again. , he guessed that this must be related to Hua Zheng's marriage. That brother really cared about his sister. This is fine, things must come to an end. His Majesty the Emperor hopes that this battle can ensure peace among the three countries for at least ten years. His plan is very simple. The Song and Mongolia will work together to defeat the Jin. The Jin army will be defeated along the way and preserve its strength. Until the Song and Mongolian armies met at the gate of Kaifeng, the Song army suddenly turned against itself and joined forces with the Jin army to eliminate the main force of the Mongolian army. Even if they could not conquer Mongolia, they would still severely damage Mongolia's vitality. Although the plan is good, it is quite difficult to implement, because in this plan, in order to prevent the Mongolian army from entering the ambush set up by the Song and Jin countries, the Jin Kingdom had to give up most of its territory. In other words, it was necessary to risk death and survive. Once the imperial city of Kaifeng was breached, the Kingdom of Jin would exist in name only. This is a major event related to the survival of the country. If Yang Kang was still the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, he would naturally be able to make this risky decision. But today is different from the past. How to win the trust of King Rong is the key to the entire plan. This is not the case in Xiangyang City. It was a fake fight, but a huge gamble. Even if the combined forces of Song and Jin defeated Mongolia, how could they ensure that the Song army would not take advantage of the weakness of Jin to occupy Jin. His Majesty the Emperor knew that he had to go to the Kingdom of Jin in person this time. He not only had to convince King Rong Wanyan Hongxi, but also ensured that the war went according to plan. This was a fateful battle related to the future fate of the Three Kingdoms. The ministers of the main war faction of the Song Dynasty were ecstatic. His Majesty the Emperor finally made a wise decision. As long as the Song and Mongolian coalition forces captured the Jin Kingdom and regained the old territory of the Song Kingdom, then His Majesty would be the King of the Song Dynasty's resurgence. He couldn't be more lustful. It's a small matter, there is no emperor who is not lewd, as long as he can control the great righteousness and important matters, he is a wise emperor. If you want to hide it from the Mongols, you must first hide it from your own people. Yang Kang did not intend to tell these ministers the plan. This time the fight with the Kingdom of Jin was no longer a fake fight, but a real fight. The fight would continue until the gates of Kaifeng City, regardless of casualties. He would use the casualties of thousands of soldiers to set up this situation. , to make Mongolia believe that the Song Army and the Jin Army were really fighting each other, and they would only fight back at the last moment, and the only person who gave the order to invade Mongolia was himself. In the study room of the Song Dynasty Palace, under the witness of the warring ministers, His Majesty the Emperor had a cordial and friendly conversation with the Mongolian envoys, and signed an alliance between the two countries to jointly send troops to carve up the territory of the Jin Kingdom. This alliance was the same as that of the Song Dynasty's former emperor. The one signed by Zhao Kuo was similar, with the same favorable conditions, but the person who signed it was different. At that time, Yang Kang had just become the emperor of the Jin Kingdom. Under attack from the Mongolian and Song Kingdoms, he was forced to abandon the imperial city of Zhongdu and fled westward in a panic. It was extremely embarrassing. Four years later, he became the one who signed the alliance. Man, this time he will not run away again, but will give Mongolia a fatal blow. After seeing off the Mongolian emissary, His Majesty the Emperor was filled with emotion as he thought about the unbearable past. He walked leisurely in the palace, stopping the palace attendants from following him. He wanted to be alone for a while, and walked around a few buildings. After the palace garden, Yang Kang suddenly heard the sound of a sharp sword piercing the air. He tiptoed to the ground and jumped onto an ancient tree next to him. Yang Kang stood on the treetop and looked up. There was a woman dancing a sword among the flowers not far away. He could tell at a glance that the woman was performing Quanzhen swordsmanship. He also learned this swordsmanship from Qiu Chuji. , and then he recognized that the sword-dancing woman was Cheng Yaojia, the eldest daughter of the Baoying Cheng family. Why did she appear in the palace? Being able to ask such a question shows that His Majesty the Emperor does not know much about his harem. When the officials of the Ministry of Rites selected Miss Jia in Jia She's house, Cheng Yaojia was a guest in Jia She's house and happened to be with Jia Yuanchun. The official looked at this girl. If he has a unique character, let him join the palace to serve the emperor. The Cheng family was originally a merchant family with a humble background. They did not dare to disobey the emperor's order, so they had no choice but to send their daughter to the palace. Because of her family background, Cheng Yaojia did not receive any canonization after entering the palace. She was just an ordinary palace maid, but Concubine Jia was ordinary. I had to take care of him a lot during the day, so I didn't suffer much hardship, so my life was pretty passable. Miss Cheng has been learning martial arts from Qingjingsan disciple Sun Buer since she was a child. Sun Buer stopped practicing after his death. It was difficult to distract the people in the palace, so she had to entertain herself with sword dancing in this secluded place. "It's no wonder that His Majesty the Emperor doesn't know. It's impossible for him to know the names of all the maids in the palace., looking at the graceful figure in the flowers, His Majesty the Emperor couldn't help but feel his heart beat. After the heartbeat, he sighed again, he, the fake emperor, will continue to do so. Is it possible that these flower-like women are lonely and withered in the deep palace? What? He got off the treetop and walked towards the Queen's Palace. At this time, Cheng Yaojia had finished practicing a set of sword skills and was about to return to Concubine Jia's palace. She saw a figure from behind. Miss Cheng was in a trance for a moment. The way this figure walked seemed to have been seen before. She thought about it for a moment, couldn't figure it out, and then let it go. His Majesty the Emperor did not let the palace people pass the news, but walked directly into the palace. Queen Xie was reading a book. She was about to take off her glasses to greet His Majesty the Emperor, but was stopped. His Majesty the Emperor reached out and held the girl in his arms, like It was like holding a small pet, then he rubbed the girl's hair, messing up the originally neatly combed hair, and put his chin on the top of the girl's head. "I want to lend you your little brain to help me deal with matters in the court." His Majesty the Emperor demanded without a doubt. "Your Majesty, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics." Queen Xie twisted her body for a while to make herself more comfortable and asked worriedly. "I asked you to listen to the government behind the curtain." His Majesty the Emperor said domineeringly, "I'm afraid I have to leave for a few days, so you can help take care of them and don't make too much trouble." "I obey the decree!" Empress Xie agreed road. This is His Majesty's preparation for his departure. Only Xie Daoqing, as the Queen, is the most suitable for this kind of thing. The good thing about this girl is that she doesn't ask too many questions and will do everything she is told. In the past six months, The fact that the harem is well organized under her management is proof that the matters of the previous dynasty will not be difficult for her. "Do you know that there is a palace servant named Cheng Yaojia in the palace?" His Majesty the Emperor asked. "That's the maid in Concubine Jia's palace. Her surname is Baoyingren, and her surname is Wenwen. She's just related to the Quanzhen Religion." Empress Xie knew it well and remembered it, so she picked it up at her fingertips. "Then let's promote her to the title of Virtuous Concubine." His Majesty the Emperor decided. Just like that, a few days later, His Majesty the Emperor issued an order for the Queen to listen to politics behind the curtain, while he himself hung out in the harem. From then on, the King did not go to court early. When the ministers heard that His Majesty the Emperor was infatuated with the daughter of a merchant, they also took that For a woman to be promoted from a palace maid to a concubine, it can be said to be the ultimate honor and favor. The ministers have long been accustomed to this. Anyway, His Majesty's lustful reputation is known throughout the country and there is no need to cover it up. (To be continued.)
