Slave to Queen: One Night Bride

Chapter 681
Seeing everyone like this, Zhao Deji was furious: "Is it because the imperial court gave you salaries to raise a bunch of waste? You eat the king's salary, and you are loyal to the king. Now that the rebels are coming, you have nothing to do?"

Finally, the prime minister came out to play and said: "Your Majesty, there are rogue flying generals, King Qin, and Liang Shanbo's remnant Lu Tijuan in the country. They are divided into three forces, harassing everywhere, and causing great harm. Outside, the Jin army took advantage of this to go south. In order to fight against the outside world, we must first secure the inside..."

This remark met Zhao Deji's heart, and he immediately said: "Aiqing, please tell me, how is the internal method?"

The chancellor was picked up by Zhao Deji after Qin Hui and others. Of course, he had figured out his thoughts long ago, knowing that what he was most afraid of was the Jin army. As long as the throne could be kept, everything else could be ignored.

"Returning to Your Majesty, now that the Jin army is suddenly going south, according to Yichen, the situation is very suspicious. We have a Song-Jin contract, why did the Jin side suddenly tear up the agreement? Moreover, even if the Jin army is attacking, how can they start from Lianghe?" Then enter the customs quickly, go directly south, and harass everywhere?"

"Then, what does the prime minister mean?"

"The veteran thinks it is very suspicious. The court might as well send someone to contact the fourth prince first, in exchange for the fourth prince's support and retreat..."

"But, the fourth prince, how can you retreat?"

"What the Jin army wants is women and girls, gold, silver and wealth. As long as they give generously, their goal will be achieved. Last year, they used the excuse that the tribute and silver were hijacked by King Qin, so they harassed them many times..."

All the ministers said "oh", thinking of this.At that time, many people thought it was a good thing, but thinking about it now, it gave Jin Jun an excuse to go south.

"We were the first to be rude, so of course the Jin army will be angry. We might as well make up the 20 tribute silver first, and then give this year's tribute silver early..."

In the ranks of generals, Liu Qi was furious when he heard it.His injury has healed, and he didn't speak at first, but now he heard such absurd suggestion, he was furious: "My lord, the prime minister's words are wrong. Jie, it has been handed over to Jin Guo, and it was lost in their hands. What does Da Song have to do with me? If you want to blame, you can only blame them for their incompetence. Besides, Da Song promised to give tribute silver back then. It is in exchange for peace. Since the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty have already started the war, the Jin Kingdom alone broke the peace agreement between the two countries.

"Yes, we must fight the Jin army."

Some main fighters also immediately echoed.

Zhao Deji was in a state of disarray, he himself did not dare to fight Jin at all, and now that he was facing internal and external troubles, he was very unhappy with Liu Qi's proposal.However, Liu Qi is the main combat faction he is currently relying on, so it's better not to lose face too much.He knew very well that no matter what kind of negotiation, he had to talk while fighting. If there were not a few generals who could make a deal, Jin Jun would never talk to him, otherwise, it would be the next catastrophe for Jingkang.

Therefore, although he was annoyed at Liu Qi's ignorance at this time, he didn't speak too harshly, and he was counting on him right away.

He immediately said: "Liu Qi, you immediately lead an army of 10 to face the parachutist."

"Yes."

Liu Qi retreated, but he was very angry, knowing that what he said today was meaningless, the decision of His Majesty and the Prime Minister had already been made, the soldiers in front were waiting for food, yet the court wanted to take such a large sum of money, go first Bribe gold army.

He was very skeptical about the sudden southward move of the Jin army, and when he retreated, he was unwilling and wanted to go out again.

Zhao Deji saw him wanting to speak several times, fearing that he would continue to incite other people to stand against the Jin army, so he deliberately turned a blind eye to him and did not want him to speak at all.

Liu Qi had no choice but to keep silent.

Everyone retreated, but Zhao Deji secretly ordered three confidants to stay.

He looked flustered: "My dear friends, now that the country is in crisis, what's your plan? It's about the northern rebel parachutist..."

The three immediately understood that what he wanted to ask was actually King Yun.

The legendary King Yun called the wind and rain in the north.

He gritted his teeth: "Is it King Yun who is making trouble?"

The prime minister was very cautious: "King Yun is really about to escape, he should come back to meet His Majesty first, recognize his ancestors and return to his clan, otherwise, who knows if it is a counterfeit like Princess Tianwei?"

Zhao Deji's heart moved, since Tianwei is a fake, can't King Yun be a fake?

Even if King Yun is real, it must be fake.

The prime minister lowered his voice: "Your Majesty, the tricky thing is, according to the secret, King Yun discovered three sealed pile vaults..."

Zhao Deji stood up: "Is this true?"

"The old minister also heard the secret. However, according to the inference, even if King Yun fled back with bare hands, even if he was supported by the big family in the north, there must be a huge source of funds to raise so many troops within a few years..."

Zhao Deji was startled, if the sealed pile storehouse came out, the identity of King Yun would be certain.He was terrified and terrified. After fleeing from Nandu, he sent more than a dozen troops to find the whereabouts of the sealed pile warehouse. One was to increase financial resources and expand military expenditures, and the other was to prove his legal status.However, no matter how hard I searched, I couldn't find any clues.The reward was that it was all stolen by the Jin Army.

However, as soon as King Yun came out, he was able to find the sealed pile storehouse.

The secret oath of the Taizu at the beginning was announced to the world after the Jingkang disaster and the opening of the Taizu Temple.Those are three big things:
First, do not kill ministers and those who write letters;
Second, do not increase taxes;

Third, recruit warriors to recover Yanyun Sixteen States.

This secret covenant was engraved on a large stone, and the emperors of all dynasties could only enter the Taimiao and see this stone engraving on the day they ascended the throne.That is the emperor's first secret, and outsiders have no way of knowing it.It wasn't until the Jin army invaded and launched stone carvings that it became known to the world.

Zhao Deji fled, ascended the throne in Yingtian, established a foothold in the south, of course he had no chance to see the stone inscription, let alone accept the oath, so he dared to kill the person who wrote the letter and the minister as soon as he ascended the throne.

However, King Yun actually found the pile locker, which completely proved that he must have the edicts of two generations of emperors.Because Song Huizong and his son both ascended the throne in Kaifeng, they knew all the secrets of the stone carvings.

Some of the strongholds of those sealed pile warehouses must have been unknown to the Jin army, and it was they who later told King Yun.

Zhao Deji's initial doubts and speculations have now completely become reality.The anxiety and fear in his heart can be imagined.That has already shaken his legal status as the emperor theoretically and fundamentally.

According to the blood relationship, King Yun is the son of Empress Qiao, the eldest son.

According to the ranking relationship, King Yun is the third child and he is the ninth child.

Moreover, King Yun held two copies of the will.

When Zhao Deji had a strong foundation, these were nothing but empty talk, and it was impossible for the interest groups and ministers in the south to recognize King Yun.

However, now is an extraordinary time, King Yun has a huge army!

If King Yun was invincible in all battles, since ancient times, he has been victorious and defeated, how dare Zhao Deji belittle him?
The more Zhao Deji thought about it, the more impatient he became.

"Aiqing, what's the trick now?"

"According to the old minister's humble opinion, His Majesty should establish the crown prince as soon as possible!"

Zhao Deji was shocked again!
Song Huizong's lineage is Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi's lineage, Jingkang catastrophe, all the princes and grandchildren were wiped out, and the remaining nine, Zhao Deji, became extinct because of impotence; therefore, Zhao Guangyi's lineage is now extinct; and the adopted children of Zhao Deji , is the descendant of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin.

The prime minister's proposal was also well thought out. Since King Yun took the will and the sealed stake treasury to order the world, it is equivalent to telling the world that he is the heir recognized by the Taizu.

It's very simple, the Great Song Dynasty was created by Taizu. If the successor can't even find the pile library, what qualifications do you have to be emperor?It proves that Taizu would not recognize you at all.

Now, if Zhao Deji appoints the adopted son of Taizu's line as the crown prince, it will be an edict to the world and return the world to Taizu's hands.

This is a powerful counterattack to the status of King Yun.

"Your Majesty, please think twice."

It was a long time before Zhao Deji sighed: "That's all, that's all! The top priority is, I really need to establish a crown prince."

There is King Yun staring at him outside, and rumors of impotence inside are known all over the world. If he does not establish a prince, he will be the last one. Moreover, the two golden sons of Empress Dowager Wei also make him unable to clear up his suspicion of being a spy.

Three days later, Zhao Deji announced to the world that he would make his adopted son, the child raised by Wu Jinnu, the crown prince.

When Wu Jinnu got the news, she was overjoyed, but Zhang Yingying, who was ill, couldn't get sick because of this major blow, and she was so sad that day.

She had long been out of Zhao Deji's favor, this death, Zhao Deji was in trouble, and he couldn't care less about her.On the contrary, Wu Jinnu was saddened by the death of the rabbit, and presided over a grand funeral for her, so that she would not let her die with regret.

But Ma Su and others rode on the road, riding lightly and chasing them all night. Ten days later, they arrived at a small town.This is a small town at the turn of the north and the south, with a small river in front.After a heavy rain, the river flowed, and the water level almost reached the bridge.

Here, there was a fierce battle just three days ago.In a dark night, the court defenders here were attacked. In a panic, their souls were scattered, and the guards fled watching the wind.

At this time, you can still see some bits and pieces scattered by the river, apparently dropped when everyone was running for their lives.The people were deeply feared by the fourth prince who "searched the mountains and picked up the sea", and the entry of the Jin army was like locusts passing through the border.This is to count on the protection of the local garrison.It's a pity that the garrison heard that they were kidnappers, running faster than the common people.

Along the way, the fleeing Song army already numbered over a hundred thousand, and the style of fleeing was not inferior to what it was back then.

At this time, in the garrison camp here, it was the mysterious army.

At the door, there are guards.

When Ma Su delivered the goods, he had dealt with them many times. As soon as they went in and reported their identities, the guards immediately took them in.

It was Yun Wu who came out to meet Ma Su.

The two had already met each other, and they were very enthusiastic about each other.

"Fifth brother Yun, Xiao Ke is ordered by the king to serve in the parachutist, and I hope that the fifth brother will be successful."

"Okay, okay, a talent like Brother Ma, the parachutist is exactly what he wants. However, the parachutist is away and hasn't come back yet."

"How long will it take to come back?"

"Three days later. Three days later we set off to attack Liyang Town. Will Brother Ma set off with us?"

"Of course. Xiao Ke is here to join the army, so naturally he will fight with the parachutist."

After everyone exchanged greetings, Ma Su and others joined Yun Wu's team, and set off with them that night to Liyang Town.

At this time, Ma Su realized that it was Liu Qi, the army sent by the imperial court, who was stationed in front.

Liu Qi is good at fighting. When fighting at sea, everyone almost suffered a big loss from him.Now turning to the road, it was Liu Wu who fought against him for the first time.
