In addition to preparing to hand over this mess to Zhao Huan to take care of his own Nanxing, Zhao Ji also listened to Yu Wenxuzhong's report, and stopped responding to Fengsi, Jiangsu and Zhejiang roads to set up bureaus, and Huashigang and other roads to collect wood and plants to build bureaus. Stop repairing inside and outside the rented classrooms in Xicheng, quit lectures, quit Taoist officials, stop Dasheng Mansion, stop teaching and music institutes, stop Genyue officials, stop Yanfu Palace Baolu Palace officials, stop Qionglin Yichunyuan in the capital, and stop. Then he issued an edict of guilt.

It can be said that Zhao Ji overthrew everything he had done in these years.

In fact, this was the biggest mistake Zhao Ji made.

If Zhao Ji hadn't been in such a hurry to overthrow himself, but had stood up and led the entire Song Dynasty to resist the invasion of the Jin Kingdom, then he might not have lost everything in the end, and the ministers who followed him would not have been liquidated by Zhao Huan and others in the end. All came to a dismal end.

Soon after, Zhao Ji appointed Yu Wenxuzhong as a scholar of Baohedian University and as an envoy of Hebei and Hedong, and ordered him to go to Hebei and Hedong to deliver the oracle immediately. And the capital control, that is, the commander-in-chief of the front army, appointed Wang Fan as a scholar of Baowen Pavilion, and the deputy envoy of the military and horse system of Chongjifu County and the capital control, so that Wang Fan quickly went to Shaanxi to select reinforcements.

Later, Tong Zhilang and Li Ye, a Shaanxi transfer judge, wrote a letter, begging to be a peace envoy to negotiate peace with the Jin people.

Zhao Ji was overjoyed, and immediately adopted it, and then ordered Li Ye to be sent as an envoy to the Jin army to negotiate peace.

Li Ye asked to bring Huang Wanliang to negotiate peace.

This made Prime Minister Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan quite embarrassed-they couldn't get so much gold out of the treasury at once.

So Zhao Ji took out two gold urns left by his ancestors (5000 taels each), and ordered the Book Art Bureau to immediately sell the urns into gold plaques and hand them over to Li Ye to take.

Although Zhao Ji had expectations for Li Ye, Zhao Ji, who felt that Jin people were not so easy to dismiss, did not pin all his hopes on Li Ye.

In other words, this did not dispel Zhao Ji Nanxing's thoughts.

but--

At this time, Zhao Ji still hesitated!

Zhao Ji hesitated, not whether to leave, but whether to pass the throne to Zhao Huan.

According to Zhao Ji's original plan, he wanted to let Zhao Huan supervise the country first, and not pass the throne to Zhao Huan for the time being.

However, Wu Min and Li Gang, who are also the attendants of Zhishizhong and Zhixue College, believe that in Bianliang City, some people advocate defense, some advocate peace, and some advocate going out of the city to fight. Those in power, Bianliang City will undoubtedly be destroyed.

After all, Zhao Ji has been in power for 25 or [-] years, and he knows that Wu Min and Li Gang are not alarmists. Yanjing City was broken without attacking under such circumstances.

This made Zhao Ji want to take the Zen position now.

But the throne is no different than others, let's not talk about its huge temptation, just say that once it is surrendered, then... from ancient times to the present, most of the people who lost the throne did not have a good end.

Therefore, Zhao Ji still couldn't make up his mind to give the Zen throne to Zhao Huan.

At this time, the Golden Army of the East Road was about to reach the Yellow River.

All the ministers of Song State panicked and urgently needed a solution to the current predicament.

It is a good way for Zhao Ji to take the blame and resign. After all, the things that the Jin people accused of secretly accepting Zhang Jue, seducing Emperor Tianzuo, and not returning the old Liao officials and Yan people were all caused by Zhao Ji. Therefore, Zhao Ji withdrew The emperor gave the Jinren an explanation, and then compensated the Jinren for some mental damage, and at most ceded some land. This matter may just go away.

It can be said that at this time, the vast majority of Song officials felt that Zhao Ji's abdication and replacement of a new monarch was a good way to solve the current predicament of the Song Dynasty.

But although Zhao Ji had the intention of abdicating Nanxing, he still refused to issue the imperial edict for the Zen throne.

And the Jin Army will arrive at the Yellow River soon, and may reach Bianliang, Tokyo in ten or eight days.

All the ministers of the Song Dynasty were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

When Tong Guan was in Taiyuan, he received a letter from the Kingdom of Jin.

In this letter, Chi Guoguo accused Zhao Ji of various crimes.

After Tong Guan showed this letter to Bai Shizhong, Li Bangyan, Cai You and others, everyone was afraid that this letter would irritate Zhao Ji, so they asked someone to polish it, and then changed the letter countless times. Hand over the letter to Zhao Ji.

Now, seeing Zhao Ji's refusal to issue the imperial edict for the Zen position, Li Bangyan suggested: "If you don't submit it with a letter of appeal, use it to stimulate the sacred heart, so that the superior can make a decision early."

All the prime ministers agreed with Li Bangyan's suggestion.

So, they presented the Calligraphy to Zhao Ji.

This letter of call lists Zhao Ji's various crimes, the main ones are as follows:

[-]. Accept Zhang Jue, a traitor from the Kingdom of Jin, and the Kingdom of Jin repeatedly refused to give it, and even deceived the Kingdom of Jin with lies.

Second, the promised food is not given.

[-]. The delivery of old coins is not active.

Fourth, breaking the contract and luring Emperor Tianzuo to come to the Song Dynasty.

[-]. Refuse to return the old ministers of the Liao Kingdom and the rich people of Yandi.

In addition, the Jin people also compared Zhao Ji with Emperor Tianzuo, saying that Zhao Ji was a faint emperor through the ages, who displaced the people in Hedong and Hebei, and the people were destitute.

and many more……

really!

After reading the Calligraphy, Zhao Ji was speechless, and finally said: "Xiuxiu, Qing will come to discuss it in the evening."

That night, after discussing with Zhao Ji and others, Wu Min wrote down the edict of the Zen position, while Zhao Ji pretended to be ill and the Zen position.

but--

This person is not saying that Zen is Zen.

Because Zhao Huan didn't want to be the king of subjugation at all.

At first, many people thought that Zhao Huan was adhering to the ancient etiquette, after all, this is something new emperors like to do.

But gradually, everyone discovered that Zhao Huan really didn't want to be the king of subjugation.

Zhao Huan knelt in front of Zhao Ji and wept and refused to be ordered.

Tong Guan and Li Bangyan put the royal clothes on Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huan tried his best to break free, but he didn't cooperate at all.

Zhao Ji saw that Zhao Huan really didn't want to be the emperor, so he said angrily: "If you don't accept it, you will be unfilial."

Zhao Huan replied: "If the minister accepts it, it will be unfilial."

Zhao Ji and his ministers persuaded him for a long time, but Zhao Huan just didn't want to be the emperor.

Zhao Ji had no choice but to call Queen Zheng to persuade Zhao Huan.

Soon Empress Zheng came over, and then persuaded Zhao Huan to accept the imperial edict to succeed him, saying: "The official family is old, and my husband and wife want to trust you with their bodies."

Zhao Huan still tried his best to refuse, as if he had made up his mind not to be the king of subjugation.

Seeing that being soft would not work, Zhao Ji ordered Zhao Huan to be enthroned in the Hall of Funing.

Zhao Huan cried and struggled, because he cried so sadly and struggled so hard that he passed out.

When Zhao Huan woke up, he was already sitting on the dragon chair in Funing Palace.

Zhao Huan cried loudly, but still refused to ascend the throne.

After tossing and tossing until it was almost dark, Zhao Huan still refused to follow.

At this time, all the officials had gathered in the Chuigong Hall for a long time, waiting to meet the new king.

Bai Shizhong was in a hurry and said, "Don't wait, let's issue the Xuanzhao first."

Therefore, Bai Shizhong came to announce the imperial edict: "The ministers would like to see the new emperor!"

Seeing that the deal was done, Zhao Huan's most trusted Geng Nanzhong and Liang Shicheng, who had always protected Zhao Huan's crown prince, persuaded him from the sidelines, and Zhao Huan issued an edict to let Wu Min go out and said, "It's too late today, let's go away first, and see you tomorrow." New gentleman."

Afterwards, the chief executives first went to Xuanhe Hall to meet Zhao Ji, and then went back to Funing Hall to meet Prince Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huan succeeded to the throne for Song Qinzong.
