Chapter 312 0309 [Song Huizong: I really have no money! 】

The meeting lasted until noon.

After the meeting, all the civil servants stood up and left. Pei Huai, the Minister of Rites, stood up and said: "County Magistrate, the birth of a daughter by the second lady needs to be recorded. I wonder if the daughter of the daughter has a name?"

Although Han Zhen has not yet proclaimed himself emperor as Jianyuan, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this will happen sooner or later.

Therefore, the children in the harem need to be recorded in detail, so that there will be no chaos.

Han Zhen said: "My baby name is He Yue, but I haven't given her a big name yet."

"I understand."

Pei Huai nodded, turned and left. After returning to the Ministry of Rites, he ordered his doctors to start recording and making books.

Han Zhen left the hall and couldn't wait to return to Yinshuangzhai.

At this time, Mrs. Han Zhang finished feeding her milk and fell asleep deeply with Xiao Heyue.

An Niang has left, but there are still two wet nurses guarding her.

Han Zhen did not disturb the mother and daughter. He squatted beside the bed and looked at his daughter quietly.

The little guy lay in Yun Niang's arms and slept particularly soundly.

In the first few days after a baby is born, he spends almost eleven hours sleeping, and the remaining hour is spent either feeding or changing diapers.

To put it simply, eat when you are full, sleep when you are full, and eat when you wake up.

After a while, Han Zhen stood up and smiled at the two wet nurses: "Thank you for your hard work during this time."

The two were flattered and hurriedly said: "The county magistrate is too polite. This is what we should do."

A wet nurse is a confinement nanny. In addition to taking care of pregnant women, she is also responsible for breastfeeding the baby.

There is nothing you can do about it. Some women are born with less breast milk. This has nothing to do with whether their breasts are large or not.

The child didn't have enough to eat, and there was no milk powder at the moment, so he had to seek help from the wet nurse.

In fact, it is not easy to become a wet nurse, but the conditions are very demanding.

First of all, the person must have good appearance, secondly, the matchmaker is marrying from an innocent family, with a good personality, and know how to take care of others, and finally, the person must have plenty of milk.

After such layers of screening, there are very few suitable candidates.

Han Zhen asked: "Are you both from the county and city?"

"Yes."

The two nodded.

Han Zhen asked again: "What about the children at home?"

Because breast milk can only be obtained after giving birth to a child, and being able to be a wet nurse means that she has just given birth not long ago.

A wet nurse replied: "Thank you so much for the county magistrate's concern. My child is almost ten months old. I happened to be taking advantage of this duty to wean my child."

"My family is pretty much the same."

"That's good."

Han Zhen nodded and ordered: "Take good care of your wife and children. You are indispensable for your wages."

The two wet nurses happily replied: "The county magistrate is relieved, we can save it."

No one in the entire county knew that County Magistrate Han was generous.

I get three wages a month, and there are rewards from time to time.

A few months of work is worth a few years of farming.

When we were looking for wet nurses two days ago, I don't know how many women came to apply. The two of them were selected because of their good conditions.

……

……

"what?"

"The Kingdom of Jin sent envoys to Shandong secretly?"

In the Yanfu Hall, Song Huizong heard the eunuch Li Yan's report, and felt that his hands and feet became cold in the summer.

He is not stupid, on the contrary, he is extremely smart.

Although Song Huizong has done a lot of bad things over the years, the power of the country has always been firmly in his hands. He can demote whoever he wants and promote whoever he wants. It is just a matter of will.

Cai Jing served as prime minister for several times, wielding power in both the government and the public. He dismissed his official position when asked to do so. Cai Jing did not even dare to fart.

Including a series of reforms and restructuring, all were decided by him, and Zhongshu's subordinates were completely turned into decorations.

This just shows that Song Huizong's methods are superb.

Taking a detailed look at the emperors of Zhao and Song dynasties, there are really only a few who could elevate their imperial power to such an extent.

Li Yan replied: "It's absolutely true. The spies from the Imperial City Department and the Privy Council's Machinery Room have all sent back the same news."

"Broken, broken!"

Song Huizong felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his complexion changed drastically.

How could he not know why the Jin Kingdom secretly sent envoys to Shandong?

The Han thief was just a rebel, and Jianyuan did not proclaim himself emperor. What reason did the Jin people have to send envoys?

Apart from joining forces to attack the Song Dynasty, Song Huizong could not think of any other reason.

It is already difficult to deal with the Jin Kingdom alone, and with the addition of Korean thieves, Kaifeng will definitely not be able to defend it.

If the Jin Kingdom instigates Xixia to take action at the same time, the country may be destroyed under a three-party attack.

This is not impossible. Last year, the Jin Kingdom had ceded land thousands of miles north of Shaanxi to Xixia in exchange for Xixia becoming a vassal.

Two or three months ago, Xixia suddenly launched an army to attack the Song Dynasty, and behind it was the Jin Kingdom's instruction.

In panic, Song Huizong immediately summoned his ministers to discuss countermeasures.

After hearing the news, the expressions of Li Bangyan, Cai You and others changed drastically.

Cai You said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the top priority now is to stabilize the Korean thief. He must not be allowed to form an alliance with the Jin Kingdom."

Regardless of whether they are Jin people or Xixia people, they are actually not too worried.

Xixia has Pingxia City, and the Jin has Taiyuan blocking the pass. If they can't conquer these two places, they can only send a small group of cavalry to plunder.

But Shandong was different. It was too close to Kaifeng and there were no natural dangers to defend. The Qingzhou Army under the Han bandits was also powerful. Once the three parties attacked the Song Dynasty, the consequences would be disastrous.

Bai Shizhong frowned and said: "The Kingdom of Jin must have promised favorable conditions. It is not easy to get the Korean thieves to give up the alliance."

For a moment, everyone in the palace looked sad.

Seeing this, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty became even more determined to go south.He couldn't stay in Kaifeng for another day.

In the south, at least there is the natural danger of the Yangtze River to defend, and the dense water network in the south is not conducive to large-scale cavalry operations, so you can sit back and relax.

Wu Min spoke and broke the silence: "I have to give it a try."

Li Bangyan suggested: "The Korean thieves are lustful and greedy for money. Your Majesty can give gold and silver beauties, and send someone with outstanding talents to Shandong as an envoy to lobby."

Want money again?
Song Huizong's expression changed and he asked: "How much do you want to give?"

"20 million taels."

Li Bangyan said thoughtfully.

Song Huizong exclaimed: "So many?"

Cai You advised: "Your Majesty, the Korean thieves are greedy and the rewards are small. How can they be willing to give up the alliance with the Jin Kingdom?"

Song Huizong covered his heart and cried, "But I have no money anymore."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone suddenly looked strange.

How could they still not know whether Song Huizong had money?
Cai Jing and Zhu Meng helped him make an unknown amount of money over the years. In addition, last year Wang Fu collected tens of millions of guans. Except for the 100 million guan paid to redeem the seven states in the mountains, all the rest went in. Song Huizong's pocket.

Nowadays, in the internal money storehouse, gold and silver money are piled up like mountains, and brocade and silk are countless.

"Cough cough."

Cai You coughed twice and reminded tactfully: "Your Majesty, the situation is critical right now."

However, Song Huizong refused to let go: "I really have no money, and the palace is empty."

Beauty can be given, but money cannot.

All said and done, Song Huizong only agreed to donate a pair of gold cups and silver bowls.

"..."

Cai You was speechless for a while and completely ran out of moves.

The emperor was unwilling to pay, so what could he do?

At this moment, Li Bangyan suggested: "It is better to collect gold and silver in the capital."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Min objected: "That's inappropriate! We only collected the peace negotiation money at the beginning of the year, and if we collect gold and silver again, I'm afraid it will cause complaints from the people."

Li Bangyan said calmly: "What Wu Gai said about this matter is wrong. Ordinary people don't have gold and silver. It's all in the hands of wealthy merchants. Those wealthy merchants are showered with the emperor's favor, and each of them has a lot of wealth. For them, a little gold and silver is nothing. It’s just a drop in the bucket.”

Song Huizong immediately made the decision: "Li Qing's words are reasonable, and the matter of collecting gold and silver will be left to Li Qing."

He didn't dare to delay it any longer, otherwise these officials would have to ask him to pay again.

"The minister leads the order."

Li Bangyan was very happy.

By collecting gold and silver, you can make a lot of money.

After finalizing the gold and silver outline, Song Huizong breathed a sigh of relief and said: "There must be a reason for going to Shandong as an envoy."

Li Bangyan had an idea: "Your Majesty, I heard that the Korean thief was very happy to get a thousand pieces of gold a few days ago, why not use the name of congratulations."

Hearing this, Bai Shizhong looked strange and said, "The woman who gave birth to a girl is the concubine of a Han thief. Is there anything inappropriate in congratulating her?"

The concubine's child is the child of a concubine, why should I be happy about it?
Song Huizong didn't care so much, waved his hand and said: "Just do as Li Qing said."

Immediately, he asked again: "Do you have any recommendations for candidates to be sent as envoys to Shandong?"

Wu Min suggested: "I recommend Sun Fu from Zhongshushe. He has outstanding eloquence and is familiar with Xie Ding."

"Fu Sun?"

Song Huizong thought about it in his mind, nodded and said: "Yes."

Sun Fu was born as a Jinshi. With his outstanding talents, he was promoted from secretary to provincial official, to censor of Jingjing, to wailang of the Ministry of Rites, to secretary to young eunuch, and finally to the secretary of Zhongshu. It can be said that he had a prosperous official career.

Although the court had spent a lot of money in the past few years due to the tribute paid by the Goryeo envoys, he wrote a letter to speak out and was demoted.

However, within two years, he was reinstated.

If you look at it this way, Sun Fu can be regarded as a capable minister and official.

But who would have thought that such a loyal minister would do the stupid thing of guarding the city in the first year of Jingkang two years later?
In the first year of Jingkang, Sun Fu was promoted to Shangshu of the Ministry of War. This coincided with the Jin people's second march southward and was entrusted by Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty with the responsibility of guarding the capital.

During this period, Sun Fu often braved arrows and boulders to climb the tower to comfort the soldiers and boost their morale.

If they don't commit suicide, relying on the defense and reserves of Tokyo City, the Jin people will not be able to defeat them even if they fight for ten years.

But he chose to seek death and did something extremely outrageous.

One night, Fu Sun was reading Qiu Jun's "Emotional Poems" and saw a sentence in it: "Guo Jing, Yang Shi and Liu Wuji".

I don’t know what I was thinking, but I suddenly felt that these three people were gods sent by God to save the Song Dynasty.

So, he ordered a search for these three people throughout the city.

Not to mention, he actually found two of them.

Guo Jing, in particular, claimed that he had been practicing Taoism for many years and could perform the Six Ding Liujia Immortal Dharma.

As long as the Liujia Immortal Technique is used, the two generals Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang can be captured alive, the Jin people can be wiped out, and they can fight all the way to Yinshan.

Sun Fu was convinced of this, and even convinced the courtiers and Song Qinzong to believe it.

So, Guo Jing took these magic soldiers and generals and rushed out of the city, approaching the Jin army's camp.

The Jin people didn't care about this. When they saw the gate of Tokyo City opened, they were overjoyed one by one and rushed into the city like wolves and tigers.

At this point, the city of Tokyo was destroyed and the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed.

Outrageous?
The reality is like this, and it is often more outrageous than the drama script.

……

After coming to court, Li Bangyan excitedly began to collect gold and silver from the whole city.

For a time, the wealthy businessmen in the city complained.

At the same time, Song Huizong ordered Li Yan to search for beauties in the capital.

In fact, there are many beauties in his harem, and Fujian and Guangdong and Guangxi recently dedicated a group of imperial attendants.

But Song Huizong couldn't bear it and simply collected it from the people.

Five days later.

The mission headed by Sun Fu set out from Tokyo City and headed for Shandong.
