The Jin army besieged the city, and the Song emperor’s daughter died

Chapter 5 Song Chen’s character remains the same

Zhao Fujin's request was very simple. The number of accompanying guards was reduced from the original 6000 to 800!
Not a single one of the 2000 imperial troops that Gao Qiu took away with him left!
Tong Guan originally took away none of the 3000 victorious troops!
Most of the eunuchs from the Ministry of Internal Affairs are accompanying him!
Most of the cooks from the imperial dining room are accompanying him!
The Forbidden Army dispatched a battalion of soldiers and horses to accompany the guards!
Zhao Fujin's reasons are also very good. Defending Kaifeng and protecting the ancestral foundation requires more soldiers. However, when the Supreme Emperor traveled south, there was no danger of soldiers. On the contrary, it was a long journey and a long journey, requiring good service from the chamberlains and cooks!
With such filial piety, what else could Emperor Daojun say besides agreeing?
"If my daughter protects Kaifeng, she will welcome her father back to the palace as soon as possible! My father has a smooth journey, please take care of yourself!"

After leaving Longde Palace, Han Shizhong couldn't wait to express his opinion: "Guan, this is inappropriate!"

"What's wrong?"

"The Jin army is approaching, and both the Supreme Emperor and the former Crown Prince have fled. The morale of the soldiers guarding the city will be unstable for one reason! Secondly, if the officials can defend the city of Kaifeng, their reputation will be as high as the sky. If the Supreme Emperor refuses to come back, and another one in the southeast When the imperial court is established, how will the officials deal with themselves when the time comes?"

Han Shizhong's first question was not a problem at all. Emperor Daojun also escaped, but it did not affect the situation in Kaifeng.

As for the second question, Zhao Fujin couldn't help complaining in his heart: "If the two of you come together and establish a separate court, it will only be to give me prestige!"

"Can't the Supreme Emperor and the deposed Crown Prince be given birth and raised in Longde Palace?" Han Shizhong still felt that this was the most secure way!

Zhao Fujin curled his lips at the group of people outside Longde Palace: "If the father and son stay in Kaifeng City for a day, these people will take the opportunity to cause trouble. I don't have time to make trouble with them now! Let's go, follow me. Go to the Chui Gong Hall and listen to what those ministers have to say about how to defeat the enemy!"

In the Longde Palace, Zhu Lian cried and hugged Zhao Huan. Zhu Bocai, a group of officials, concubines and princes surrounded Emperor Daojun, anxious and angry!
"The official, but the Emperor Ji is planning to usurp the throne? As long as the official nods, the ministers will immediately rush to Chui Gong Hall to argue with her!"

"Father, my son heard that Fu Jin killed Cai You... was father under duress?"

"The official family...the slave family stayed up all night last night, worried to death!"

Zhao Ji smiled and waved his hand: "Don't be suspicious, Fu Jin ascended the throne, it is indeed my inner Zen!"

"What about the prince? The prince..." Zhu Bocai was most worried about his uncle, and he was heartbroken!
Zhao Huan on the side could not wait to kick his father-in-law on the buttocks: "I am willing to give up the position of crown prince, my sister Fujin, a woman who cannot be compared to men, and the posture of an empress. I hope you can help me, and don't cause any trouble!"

In the huge Longde Palace, there was suddenly silence. Everyone looked at each other and couldn't say a word!

……

……

Hanging Palace!
All the ministers had been waiting for a long time. When they saw the empress coming to court, they all saluted and said hello.

"Forget it, let's get down to business. Yesterday I asked you all to think about any strategies to defend against the enemy. Now you can talk about it!"

"The minister has played!"

As the first brother in the Song Dynasty army, Tong Guan naturally wanted to speak.

Zhao Fujin didn't want to listen to his rambling, and before he could continue, he smiled and said: "The Supreme Emperor summons you at Longde Palace, go ahead!"

Tong Guan was stunned, not knowing whether he should go or not!

Being able to stand at the top of the Song Dynasty and remain standing for so many years is not only due to military achievements, but more importantly, the ability to understand the holy will.

"Is the Empress testing me?" Tong Guan muttered in his heart: "But the Empress' facial expressions don't look like her, right?"

"Why are you still standing there? Do you want the Emperor to come and invite you in person?" Zhao Fujin waved his hand, indicating that he could go.

Only then did Tong Guan bow and retire under the envious gaze of the officials!

"Gao Qiu, don't look at me. You can follow me!" Gao Qiu quickly withdrew his gaze and immediately came out and said: "I am sitting in front of the palace to command the envoy. At this time, I am sharing the worries of the officials. When the court meeting is over, I will Go and apologize to the Supreme Emperor again!"

What Gao Qiu said was beautiful. If Zhao Fujin hadn't known what kind of person he was, he would have believed it!
"Go, Sir. After the meeting, I will talk to you alone!"

"I am frightened!"

"Let's go, let's go!"

By coaxing and deceiving Gao Qiu away, the original situation of the Song Dynasty court before the first Kaifeng defense battle was maintained as much as possible.

The reason why Zhao Fujin is like this is because she has her own ideas.

First of all, the first battle to defend Kaifeng was a near miss, as long as we held on, if we had left people like Tong Guan, Gao Qiu, and Emperor Daojun who were going to escape in Kaifeng, with their micro-management skills, We still don’t know what trouble will occur. There are too many uncontrollable factors, so we might as well tell them to get out of here!

Secondly, in the first Kaifeng defense battle, the operating space is limited. No matter how you play, it is unlikely to give the Jin army a fatal blow. With Zhao Fujin's character, if he doesn't do it, he will be killed directly!At this point, she strongly agreed with Zhu Chongba's behavior.

Of course, she had deduced Li Gang's proposals over the years, such as sending troops to follow the Jin army when they retreated, sending them to the Yellow River, and attacking directly to catch him off guard.

But she felt that the chance of success was zero. Not to mention whether the West Route Army was still surrounding Taiyuan and would rush to help. Even if there was no West Route Army, there was only the East Route Army. Half a month ago, people knocked on the door across the Yellow River all night. Gu, the Song army on the other side was so scared that they all ran away. Can you fight with them in half a month?No logic at all!

Besides, with the current combat power of the Song Army, it would be difficult to occupy the city and defend the capital. Fighting in the field with Tiefu Tu would be a headache!
So Zhao Fujin decided to trade space for time.

In the first Kaifeng defense battle, it should be as it should be. The general direction should not be shaken, but the small details can be changed. The best policy is to give it a few months to make arrangements again!

The decisive battle is not here!

The ministers in the Chui Gong Hall began to give Zhao Fujin a stumbling block, saying, "You are not in charge of the battle, so you can think of your own solution."

It's not against the law if you don't say anything!
When no one spoke, Li Gang stood up and said: "I believe that the Jin army's southern invasion this time is not intended to destroy the Song Dynasty! As long as the army and people of Kaifeng are united, it will not be difficult to defend Kaifeng!"

Before Li Gang finished speaking, Bai Shizhong sneered: "Aren't you interested in destroying the Song Dynasty? Could it be that the Jin army came to celebrate Li Shaoqing's birthday?"

Bai Shizhong's words made all the officials in the palace chuckle. Everyone felt that Li Gang was a little too optimistic!

They sent troops in two directions, with great momentum, to attack the city and plunder the land. If not to destroy the country, what could they do?
Li Gang was not angry, probably because he was used to it over the years, and he said with a normal expression: "I believe that the Jin army has five requests for this southern invasion. The first is to give them honorary titles from the officials, and the second is to return the Liao people who defected to our Song Dynasty. "Golden people, the third is to increase the annual coins, the fourth is to reward the three armies, and the fifth is to cede land and give up the city."

"Officials, ministers and Li Shaoqing are harming the country!" Li Bangyan bowed and stepped out: "Misjudgment of the situation will inevitably lead to the destruction of the country!"

Zhao Fujin said softly: "Tell me, Mr. Li, what is the current situation?"

Li Bangyan, the prodigal prime minister, how could he see clearly what the situation was!
He is where he is today because he was inspired by Cai You. He sang some obscene lyrics and told some obscene jokes in front of Emperor Daojun, and that's how he got to where he is today. He originally planned to follow the prince's taste after he succeeded to the throne. Adjust your driving skills, after all, what man doesn't like these things, but he never thought that the successor would be the empress Zhao Fujin!
But speaking obscenely to the empress... He felt that it would be easy for him to overturn and die.

Seeing that Li Bangyan was silent, Zhao Fujin sneered: "Have you been in court like this all these years? You are incompetent in deliberation, but you are good at debating people."

Being treated like this by the empress, all the ministers in the palace couldn't stand it. They all bowed and said: "I am incompetent, but I am willing to listen to the guidance of the officials!"

Translated into adult language: "We are stupid and can't see the situation clearly, but the officials are awesome, so you should come and talk about it!"

emmm...Song Chen's character is still the same!
