Chapter 78

The plan was decided, and Shen Yuanjing and Huang Yaoshi went to the Lu Mansion of Xiangyang, Liu Zheng of Kuizhou, and Yu Jie of Chongqing, and ordered the three of them to obey the command and not to mislead the matter. Then they were alone and rushed to Lin'an.

He originally wanted to let someone secretly guide Zhao Yun to have a shocking deal with Jin Kingdom, but this matter was very related and had too much risk. If you were not careful, you might lose all the money. The safest way is naturally to do both kindness and power.

Shen Yuanjing found Zhao Yun and brought the letter from the monarch Wanyan Shouxu, which explained the plan to leave by borrowing a boat, promising to use Kaifeng and Henan Prefecture as bargaining chips. Once the Jin people successfully arrived in Fusang, they ordered the remaining Jin army to withdraw from the city and allow Song to accept it.

Zhao Yun was so shocked by this plan that he couldn't speak for a long time. It took him a long time to calm down, but he was still skeptical and asked Shen Yuanjing why he sent it.

Shen Yuanjing sat cross-legged on the stage, with a relaxed attitude and replied: "Wanyan Shouxu was afraid that you would not be willing to fulfill his contract, so he asked me to be a supervisor. I agreed to it for his many years of worship."

Hearing this, Zhao Yun sneered and said, "I haven't decided whether to agree yet. You come here early and there is no use at all."

Shen Yuanjing said lightly: "You will definitely agree. If you miss this time, if the Mongols have to go to Kaifeng, you will never have the chance to take back the old capital in your life. Besides, the Jin Kingdom still has more than 300,000 troops, and it is unknown what to do when you are desperate."

Zhao Yun's face changed. Mongolia was powerful, and he could not think of how he could win if the enemy defended and attacked. He had also heard of the so-called "loss in the north and seeking compensation for the south" method of Jin Xuanzong, so he naturally did not dare to bet that Wanyan Shouxu would not do this.

After thinking about it, if this matter could be done, it would seem to be beneficial to the Song Dynasty without any harm. He pondered for a while and then agreed.

Shen Yuanjing received his letter, but only sent someone to the Jin Kingdom. He was still in the palace and refused to leave. Thinking about his previous words, Zhao Xu knew that he really wanted to stay here forever. He was so angry that his face turned pale, but he had no choice but to do anything about it.

After a few months, the Mongolian army did not take action. Shen Yuanjing hid in the palace every day, meditated and practiced, and never went out. Zhao Yun was not happy at first, but it was obvious that he was just a meditator and ignored the rest of the matter. He gradually let go of his guard and occasionally said a few words.

He had never thought of poisoning and murdering or sending troops to capture him. Because Shen Yuanjing's legend is too horrible, even if he has this intention, he has no courage to do it, and he is afraid that he will be injured by the tiger if he fails to kill the tiger.

As autumn approached, the Mongolians moved. Zhao Yuncai secretly ordered the navy generals to act according to the plan. Later, Shen Yuanjing asked him to issue an edict and sent Yu Jie, Lv Wende and others to wait for an opportunity to fight the north. This was the agreed secret code. Huang Yaoshi got it and would follow the plan.

Zhao Yun sneered and said, "Both of them have not been transferred by the court. Why do you have to do it in one go? Could it be that the True Lord also wants a name of loyalty and patriotism?"

Shen Yuanjing said: "Why are they like this? You haven't thought about it in your heart? As for whether to issue an edict, you will be with you. Anyway, I am not the one who is embarrassed about it."

Zhao Yun's face was unstable. Although Yu Jie and others often took action first and then reported, they were in charge of the court's name. If he refused to cooperate and broke up, the other party would lose a layer of righteousness that was covering the outside. However, for him, he was really disgraced and it might be difficult to restrain other people with ulterior motives.

After he thorned the bullet and issued an edict, he always felt a knot in his heart and said indignantly: "Why do you want to be a thief when you eat your king's fortune and be loyal to the king?"

Shen Yuanjing still said calmly: "'If you treat your ministers like earth, then your ministers will treat your king like enemies." How do you treat him? Besides, Chai Rong treats Zhao Da as brothers and sisters, and he has never seen him ruthless when he bullies the orphan and widowed mother of the Chai family."

Even if the Zhao family is not as dirty as the Sima family, they are not ashamed of the heroes in the world. Zhao Yun cannot argue and said in a muffled voice: "After all, they are all Han people. They cannot work together to fight against the barbarians and fight against themselves. How unwise are they? "

"Why didn't you give in and hand over the country?" Shen Yuanjing said: "The world is the world of the people of the world, and it is not your Zhao family. If you don't do good deeds, someone will replace it. The dynasties in the world, whether long or short, cannot escape this principle. I will fight to revive my life for the Han family and save you from the Shenzhou Lu Shen. It can be considered as saving face for your Zhao family, and save you from the infamy of losing land to the barbarians for thousands of years."

"In this way, the True Lord divides my territory of the Song Dynasty and has troops to support myself. I want to thank you for your maintenance?" Zhao Yun was so angry that he trembled all over and shouted angrily: "If you don't have you, my king and ministers will be united, how can we not work hard to reorganize the mountains and rivers?"

Shen Yuanjing said: "Western Xia, Jin people, Mongolia occupied your territory, and I didn't see that your Zhao family had any achievements; if there were people inside, you would not be able to see it? If there was no self, Yu Jie would die suddenly in Sichuan; Liu Zheng Beitou Mongolia; Lu Wende died in Xiangyang; Li Tingzhi died in Yangzhou... All these things, not only are you responsible for the cause, but they can't escape."

"This...this..." Zhao Yun seemed to believe it and refused to believe it, suppressed his uneasiness and defended himself: "It's all your family's words. How can you lie to me if you pretend to be a ghost?"

Shen Yuanjing replied: "What are you lying to? Can you still go through the sky at this time? If I were you, the most important thing to consider now is how to avoid being the king of the country that was destroyed."

Zhao Yun widened his eyes, pointed his hand at Shen Yuanjing with trembling hands, and said, "Since I ascended the throne, I have eliminated party disputes, personally promoted censors, clarified the administration of officials, promoted learning and respected the Tao, how can I be the king of the country that destroyed?"

"If it is a peaceful time, it is not bad to be a little mediocre, but now it is a time of great struggle and a time of reform. If you don't have the will to work hard, you will live a life of one acre and three-point land, and even if you die, your country will be destroyed, and you will feel innocent? How unfortunate is the Lord Li?"

Shen Yuanjing felt that Zhao Yun’s performance over the years was much different from that of historical books. His emperor’s mind and governance methods were considered qualified, but he had just given birth to the wrong era.

Zhao Yun staggered a few steps after hearing this. Thinking about these years, he had been indulging in the mood and feeling, and had a sense of peace. After reflecting for a long time, he said hoarsely: "If you work hard at this time, can you still do anything?"

There was another meaning in his words. Shen Yuanjing said: "The arrow is on the string, so you must fire it. When you look back at this time, Yu Jie and others are both afraid and worried, and they will inevitably lose their energy. After years of hard work, they will definitely be destroyed. Not only will they not be able to protect your Zhao family, but they will also lose all their country."

"Oh!" Zhao Yun sighed and went straight, thinking that Wanyan Shouxu was already in a jealous state and was still trying to make a desperate move to make a living. Compared with the Jin Kingdom, the situation of the Song Dynasty was still much stronger. How could he be discouraged?

Later, he suddenly worked hard, was diligent in state affairs, rewarded Li Tingzhi, and ordered him to stabilize the two Huaihe Rivers; sent Li Yinggeng to lead his army to secretly cross the Huai River, and waited at the designated location of the Jin Kingdom; commanded the Jinghu South Road, and secretly assembled a large army to respond to the major changes.

All these things can be said to have done their best. Some old scholars were so excited that they burst into tears, and they said that the mountains and rivers were reorganized.
