The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 107 Seizing Power
At this time, Zhao Ji had actually repositioned himself as the emperor.

"I obey the order, let's do it right away." Qin Hui was happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. If he could bring Li Gang down, his chance would come.

Zhao Ji didn't even go to the Daqing Palace to confirm whether Zhao Huan was really dying, maybe he didn't want to confirm it at all, or at this time, he had already been dazzled by the joy of regaining the throne.

So Zhao Ji came out from Longde Palace, surrounded by civil and military officials, and came to the court again, sitting on the familiar dragon chair, Zhao Ji couldn't help feeling a little bit, this circle around, He finally sat on the dragon chair again.

"Let Wang Lun be an envoy to the Kingdom of Jin to discuss peace talks." Zhao Ji issued an order.

Wang Lun is the great-great-great-grandson of Wenzheng Gong Dan’s brother Wang Xu. Speaking of this Wang Lun, the officials criticized him a lot, because this guy really made big mistakes, but he kept making small mistakes and often violated the law. Fortunately, he was praised by his ancestors. Shelter, so we can live in peace.

Now Zhao Ji ordered him to go to the Kingdom of Jin. On the one hand, it was because this person was very courageous. If it was someone else, he would probably shirk and dare not go. On the other hand, Wang Lun was indeed talented, eloquent, When he went to the Kingdom of Jin, he naturally hoped to facilitate a peace agreement between the two countries.

"Your Majesty, what is the bottom line for this minister to go to the peace talks?" Wang Lun took a step forward and asked for instructions.

"As long as the Kingdom of Jin can withdraw its troops, I can agree to the old coins, the cession of land, and the surrender of ministers." Zhao Ji said to Wang Lun.

Hearing this, Li Gang was very anxious, and hurriedly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, you must never do it. Cessing land for peace is like fighting a fire with salary. Cutting five cities today and cutting five cities tomorrow, how many cities do we have in the Song Dynasty?" Can it satisfy the greed of Jin Guo?"

Zhao Ji glared at Li Gang, and said: "It is you who have been bewitching Huan'er to use the army, which has caused today's situation. Come, come and take Li Gang down for me, remove him from the post of Minister of the Ministry of War, and the Privy Council of the Privy Council, and press him to Dali. The temple awaits trial."

Li Gang didn't expect that Zhao Ji would be the first to attack him. He was surprised, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, now I have the upper hand in the war against the Jin Dynasty. As long as we recruit another 10 troops to reinforce Guanzhong, we will be able to solve today's war." Dilemma."

"Suppress it!" Zhao Ji waved his hand and said without giving Li Gang a chance to continue talking.

Seeing this situation, Wang Lun said to Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty, Mr. Li is dedicated to the country and advocates the resistance against gold. He is not at fault. Now that the anti-golden enthusiasm is high in the whole country, arresting Li Gang rashly may cause dissatisfaction in the whole field."

When Wang Lun heard what Wang Lun said, he waved his hands and said, "These things are not things you need to consider. Your first task now is to complete the negotiation with Jin. Now that Guanzhong has fallen, the west gate of the imperial court has been opened. You If the negotiation fails, our situation is in danger."

Wang Lun choked for a moment. In fact, he also advocated anti-gold, but now Li Gang, headed by the main combat faction in the court, has been imprisoned. Only by facilitating peace talks with the Kingdom of Jin, and trying to strive for greater benefits for the Kingdom of Song during the peace talks.

"I personally wrote a letter, you give it to Wanyan Zonghan, and he will teach it to Wanyan Wu to beg for it. As long as the Kingdom of Jin can withdraw its troops, I am willing to be a minister to Jin." Zhao Ji said to Wang Lun.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!" Many officials in the court stood up and objected.

The emperor proclaimed himself a minister, which is actually equivalent to Zhao Ji becoming a slave of the Kingdom of Jin, and they are ministers, are they slaves under slaves?Starting from Qinhuang and Hanwu, this has never happened in the history of the Celestial Dynasty, so it is difficult for these courtiers to accept this.

As for the compensation for land cession, they didn't care about it. Money, the Song Dynasty was rich and prosperous, and the most important thing was money. As for land, the Heavenly Dynasty was rich in land and resources, so what's the point of giving away one or two cities?
The ministers only care about being ministers, which is a matter of their face.

"Hmph, if the army of the Jin Kingdom drives straight in, then the country will not be a country, so how can I claim to be myself?" Zhao Ji said angrily, turned and left.

Now all the ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, the meaning of what Zhao Ji said was obvious, if the army of the Kingdom of Jin drove straight in and the Song Dynasty was destroyed, then he probably would not even have the chance to be a minister.

Zhao Ji came out from the court hall, and only then was he thinking of visiting his dying son, but he didn't expect to be stopped by someone when he reached the gate of Daqing Hall.

"What? You dare to stop me?" Zhao Ji said with a displeased face.

It was Zhang Xian, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army who stopped him. At this time, Zhang Xian was very clear about what happened in the court. He is only loyal to Zhao Huan now, and he is not very cold about Zhao Ji. Facing Zhao Ji's questioning, he bowed and said: "Taishanghuang, His Majesty's orders to ministers are that no one can enter."

"Hmph, did he say that even I was not allowed to go in?" Zhao Ji stared at Zhang Xian angrily and said.

Zhang Xian nodded.

This made Zhao Ji very angry. Wang Fu came with Zhao Ji. When he heard what Zhang Xian said, he pointed to Zhang Xian and said, "Bold, dare to be rude to Your Majesty. I think you don't want to lose your head." head on."

Zhang Xian glanced at Wang Fu contemptuously, and said, "My lord, you have framed the last general. I am very respectful to His Majesty, and I have always followed His Majesty's orders."

Pointing at Zhang Xian's nose, Wang Fu reprimanded loudly: "Yum's head, now the crown prince is about to die, and His Majesty is going to take charge of the government again, your current behavior, even ten heads are not enough for you to cut off. "

Zhang Xian grinned amusedly when he heard what Wang Fu said, and said, "Master Wang, I don't need to worry about the life of the last general, you should worry more about your own head."

Hearing what Zhang Xian said, Wang Fu's heart suddenly "thumped", and he had a bad premonition in his heart. He and Wang Fu looked at each other. The monarch and his ministers have worked together for many years. What is Zhao Ji thinking in his heart? , Needless to say, Wang Wei can guess.

Could it be that Zhao Huan is pretending to be sick, but in fact he is fine?
After thinking of this possibility, Wang Fu's complexion became a little ugly.

"Hmph, let's wait and see!" Wang Fu whispered a few words to Zhao Ji, which completely interrupted Zhao Ji's desire to visit Zhao Huan.

"Your Majesty, if the prince is pretending to be seriously ill, according to the prince's character, then our lives are in danger!" Wang Fu said to Zhao Ji in a low voice.
