Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1133 The general trend of the world
45. Twelve prefectures including Zhendingfu, Hejianfu, and Bazhou on Hebei East Road and Hebei West Road were ceded, and [-] counties were given to Liao State.

[-]. The State of Song took a prince as a hostage and went to live in Shangjing, the State of Liao.

Under normal circumstances, it is absolutely impossible for the Song State to agree to such four treaties that humiliate the country, the emperor, and the ministers. Lower some conditions.

……

……

In Kaifeng, Song Liao was busy negotiating, but another major event happened in Chang'an City, Zhaofu, West Beijing.

Huang Louping, a veteran of the Ministry of Security and head of the Song State Headquarters, has been operating for several years with the support of Xiangfu State's countless money and experts, and has established a large network of influence in Jingzhao Mansion.During the siege of the city led by Yang Jiye with an army of tens of thousands, Huang Louping successfully instigated a commander of Xiangdu in Chang'an City. The Song Army at the gate of the city led the army of Xiangfu Kingdom into the city.

Yang Jiye, who had been prepared for a long time, led the army into the city and killed until dawn. Most of the Song army in the city surrendered. So far, Hedong Road, Yongxing Army Road, and Qinfeng Road all fell into the hands of Xiangfu Kingdom.

Judging from the various reactions of Xiangfu Kingdom after Ye Chen's mysterious disappearance, Ye Chen's life and death are unknown, and it seems that it has no impact on Xiangfu Kingdom's civil and military officials, or even tens of millions of people.Just because Ye Chen has created too many miracles in these years, no matter his personal ability or force, he is almost deified in the hearts of the common people and even the courtiers, no one will believe that Ye Chen will die.Many people even vaguely felt that when Ye Chen appeared, another earth-shattering miracle would appear, and even change the world.

At the same time, Hungry Wolf, the leader of the rebel army who had been recruited by the Song army for a long time, suddenly led [-] rebel soldiers wearing Song army uniforms and carrying the banner of the Song army out of the mountain. Dazhou easily occupied these two cities without the slightest vigilance.Immediately afterwards, Hungry Wolf issued a notice to the people of the world, bluntly saying that Song Emperor Zhao Dezhao was fatuous, the prime minister was incompetent, and the court was immoral, and listed a series of deeds with convincing evidence. The legendary emperor Ye Chen became a minister, and then under the banner of Ye Chen, marched into various places in Sichuan and Sichuan.Ye Chen quelled the riots in Sichuan and Sichuan in one fell swoop when the people were in a state of turmoil. With the propaganda of the Ministry of Security in these years, he had a very high prestige among the people in Sichuan and Shu. In the early days, there were two massacres in Sichuan and Shu, and the people in Sichuan and Shu did not have a strong sense of identity with the Song Dynasty.Therefore, after Hungry Wolf played Ye Chen's banner, it was extremely appealing and deceptive. For a while, there was a resurgence in Bashu, and the discussions among the common people about leaving the Song Dynasty and joining the Xiangfu Kingdom became more and more intense, and their desires became stronger and stronger.

The Central Plains and the Jianghuai area have not been able to grow, but the small group of rebels who were rarely encircled by the Song government suddenly became active, moved frequently, and began to move to the Bashu area. An attitude.

During this period, the news about the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom falling from the sky and landing on the Xiajing Government Affairs Hall in the capital of the Xiangfu Kingdom spread like wildfire, and spread all over the world at a jaw-dropping speed. Various armies of the Xiangfu Kingdom, including hungry The wolf and other rebels had the seal of the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom in their hands, as long as scholars who had studied the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom could tell the authenticity from the fake.

Bad news from all over the world was sent to Kaifeng by urgent couriers eight hundred miles away. The already turbulent Song Dynasty court was worsened, and undercurrents surged. Aristocratic families, literati, and civil officials and scholars, based on the current situation in the Song Dynasty, when the Chuanguo Yuxi appeared, some ideas also quietly changed.

Under such circumstances, there are many rumors in the market that the Song Dynasty, just [-] years after its founding, is like the Qin and Sui dynasties, and the second generation will change the dynasty.

Literati, scholars, aristocratic families, and tens of millions of people have such thoughts, which are certainly related to Zhao Dezhao's stupidity as emperor, especially the stupid actions of this catastrophe, but it also has a lot to do with the current background. Since then, in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the rapid and frequent rotation of national titles and courts is unprecedented in history. For example, in the previous Southern Tang and Southern Han Dynasties, it is very rare that the third generation and the fourth 50 years of the founding of the country can be passed down.Although the Song Dynasty once unified the Central Plains and the South, in fact, it has only been about [-] years since the founding of the country. In such a short period of time, even without Zhao Dezhao's stupid and immoral behavior, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin would not be able to achieve it. The degree to which the world is at home.

Today, the turbulent Song Dynasty is facing a situation of domestic instability, wars, changes in people's minds, and the use of troops in many places, all of which are powerful enemies.

Under such circumstances, the tigers and wolves of Daliao occupy the two roads in Hebei and nearly half of the prefectures and counties, and may go south at any time. The three roads in the northwest enter Xiangfu Kingdom. The land also began to turmoil, not to mention ordinary people, even the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the officials of various states and counties were panicked.

At this moment, the legend of Xiangfu's country's benevolent government, the legendary emperor's benevolence, and the true man's son have been widely circulated and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.No matter what kind of person they are, even the most ordinary and humble people have their own reputation in their hearts. Whoever is the emperor wins the world and whose people are better. It is obvious that the so-called aspiration of the people is in this way.

……

Kaifeng, the Courtyard dedicated to receiving foreign envoys, and the room where Liao envoy Yu Jianye lived.Ye Chen sat at the head, Zhang Dong, Shiwa, and Zhou Jie were kneeling below, and Luo Yaoshun, Tang Xingwu, Lian Jicheng, and Yu Jianye stood beside them.

Zhang Dong, Shiwa, and Zhou Jie hadn't seen Ye Chen for more than three years. At this moment, their faces were flushed with excitement, and even Shiwa's eyes were filled with tears. They didn't have the demeanor of the king of Kaifeng's underground world.

Although these years have been the overlord and hero of one party, after all, Zhang Dong is good after going deep into the enemy's rear. Song Guo's pursuit of Shiwa and Zhou Jie has never stopped. It's hard to say how much it has survived under Li Mingxuan mobilizing experts to hunt him down.

"The three of you have worked hard for three years. After the world is unified, I will reward you three and show your achievements to the world." Ye Chen can imagine the life of these three people in these three years, The fear is only the most basic.

"It's my honor to die for His Majesty." With Ye Chen's words, the grievances and complaints that the three of them had suppressed in the bottom of their hearts for more than three years disappeared.

"Right now, the Great Song Building is about to collapse, but it's a good time for me to replace it. Time is running out. What I say next, let everyone remember clearly what they do. There must be no mistakes." Ye Chen is extremely solemn Said.

The seven people's bodies shook, their faces were already solemn, as if they were listening attentively.

Ye Chen said: "First of all, we must kill Li Mingxuan, and then in the name of Li Mingxuan, we will bring Lu Yuqing and Li Mingxuan's confidants together, such as Wang Haijiang, who commanded Kaifeng and the imperial army, and kill them in one fell swoop. This matter is left to Tang Xingwu, Zhang Dong, ten The five of you, Wa, Zhou Jie, and Lian Jicheng, are in charge. How to implement the five of you, come up with a plan as soon as possible. Within three days, you must kill Li Mingxuan. I will take Luo Yaoshun to lie down with Uncle Cao. If I can convince him, the old man , it will be easier for the ten elite imperial guards outside the city."

Everyone respectfully said yes, and then split up and started to act.

……

……

Just after nightfall, Ye Chen and Luo Yaoshun, who had disguised themselves in disguise, came to Cao's mansion. They didn't enter as food delivery or other identities, so Luo Yaoshun knocked on the door directly.The Cao Mansion, which was crowded in the past, is now empty, and there are not even guards at the gate.

After knocking on the door, the door opened from the inside, and an old man of half a century stuck out his head, looked at the two of them unexpectedly, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Ye Chen and Luo Yaoshun looked at the old butler of the Cao Mansion with complex expressions, and Luo Yaoshun who was standing in front said, "Uncle Qi, let's find Uncle Cao." He didn't change his voice.

Hearing the words, the old man known as Seventh Uncle shook his body and opened his mouth to look at Luo Yaoshun. He looked at the strange middle-aged man with a sallow complexion in front of him, stunned, and he recognized Luo Yaoshun's voice.

The old man hesitated for a moment, glanced at Ye Chen behind who had also changed his face, and said, "The master is inside, please come in, both of you."

The old man led the two of them directly to a big greenhouse in the backyard.

This large greenhouse was built by Ye Chen's advice to Cao's family. It is very simple to say, it is a wall made of yellow mud, and then thick straw is spread on the top of the head, and it is opened every three feet on the roof. A window three feet long and wide is used for ventilation and at the same time allows sunlight to shine in.

This kind of greenhouse is quite common in Xiangfu country, even in Song country, especially in Kaifeng city, where any big family does not have this kind of greenhouse in their backyard.This is naturally another miracle created by Ye Chen.In order to be able to eat fresh vegetables in winter, Ye Chen built a greenhouse in the backyard of his Xiangfuhou Mansion and grew vegetables.This matter was soon discovered by Cao Wei, Luo Yaoshun and others, and they followed suit one after another, and soon became popular in Kaifeng City.Because Cao Bin and Ye Chen are like teachers and fathers, Ye Chen personally instructed the Cao family to build this greenhouse.Now it seems that there is no difference from six years ago, and even walking into the greenhouse, the vegetables grown are similar to those in the past.

It was bitingly cold outside, but it was as warm as spring inside the three-acre greenhouse. Luo Yaoshun and Ye Chen stepped into the greenhouse lightly, and saw an old man in regular clothes, bending over to pick tender greens in the vegetable yard. The tender green cucumber has a relaxed and contented face, and with Ye Chen's eyesight, he can even see fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
