Chapter 592

Zhao Bing couldn't figure out how to remove Kublai Khan's gaze from Qiongzhou, but he also knew that he had killed Zhang Hongfan's brothers in Yashan and destroyed his southeast coastal naval army. It was impossible for him to not let him worry about him. However, he still had to try to avoid Kublai Khan using all the troops that were preparing to capture Chameng and Japan on him. It would be a disaster for Qiongzhou, but he really didn't think about how to do it.

In the following days, Zhao Bing was not only sleeping in and playing in the sea, but also spent almost all the afternoon time discussing with Ying Jieyan how to implement his own plan and improve the "State Training of Military Training". The change in the young emperor's attitude also made Ying Jieyan feel relieved. His willingness to talk to him shows that he no longer hated himself for intermarriage with Daning Village, and of course he also did his best to write and modify it himself.

More than ten days passed in a blink of an eye. The master and the disciple felt very comfortable with the little days in front of him, and they were very happy. But just as they were enjoying this rare leisure, the mansion suddenly sent an urgent report with 800 miles. Zhao Bing was very puzzled that he said there was nothing to do, and he would do something big. It was rare that the Yuan army was ready to attack Qiong, but the information sent by the Affairs Bureau did not reflect that the coastal enemy was abnormal?

"Your Majesty, it was the Empress Dowager and Emperor Deyou who sent envoys to Qiong!" Ying Jieyan opened it and hurriedly read it and reported.

"Hey, aren't the Taihuang Empress and the Emperor's brother both imprisoned in Yanjing? How do you send envoys to Qiong?" Zhao Bing said in surprise after hearing this. He knew that after the Yuan army captured Lin'an, Empress Dowager Xie asked for surrender. Then his second brother Emperor Deyou was sent to Dadu by Boyan. Then Empress Dowager Xie and the captured ministers, palace maids and more than 3,000 labourers were also sent to Dadu. It has been three years since he was there, why did he suddenly remember that he had come?

"Your Majesty, it is not clear here. I think it should be written by the enemy chief and came to persuade him to surrender." Ying Jieyan frowned and replied.

"Haha, let's surrender, isn't this a joke!" Zhao Bing said with a sneer.

"Although Your Majesty said that, it is very difficult to deal with at this time!" Ying Jieyan did not meet the situation, but sighed lightly.

"What's the matter? If we ignore it, how can he be with me!" Zhao Bing sneered. Now Empress Dowager Xie, including Empress Dowager Quan and his brother Zhao Xian, are already prisoners of Kublai Khan. What other storms can the Phoenix who has fallen into the arsenal?

"Otherwise, although the Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager and Emperor Deyou have moved north and were eliminated by the thief chiefs. However, Emperor Deyou was ordered by heaven and ordered by the Empress Dowager to ascend to the great treasure before the fall of Lin'an; while Emperor Jingyan had lost his country's fortune and was elected by all the ministers to succeed him. But at that time, Emperor Deyou did not abdicate, and Emperor Taihuang was still there, so..." Ying Jieyan said, but he saw that the little emperor stopped talking again.

"Mr. I mean that Emperor Jingyan was in a disadvantage, and I, the emperor, was not justified." Zhao Bing didn't care and said it for Ying Jieyan.

"..." Ying Jieyan didn't say anything, but nodded slightly.

"The capital was lost, the late emperor was captured, and Emperor Jing Yan was supported by the ministers in Fuzhou to the Great Bao. This is not without precedent!" Zhao Bing was a little puzzled. The two emperors Hui and Qin were captured by the Jin Kingdom and fled to Zhao Gou alone. Then they were supported by the ministers as emperor, inherited the throne, and continued the national lineage for more than a hundred years. This could be done, but why can't this happen to him?

"Your Majesty said it is right. After Emperor Gaozong passed away south, he still respected the two emperors Huiqin and vowed to fight the northern expedition to recover the Central Plains and welcome the two emperors back. However, hesitated for this and failed to fulfill his long-cherished wish!" Ying Jieyan hesitated and said.

"What does this have to do with the two emperors Hui and Qin?" Zhao Bing was a little surprised. What does it have to do with the failure of the Northern Expedition to the two deposed emperors.

"Our dynasty established the country with benevolence and filial piety. Emperor Gaozong reached filial piety. In the first year of Shaoxing, Empress Zhu and Empress Zheng were tortured to death by the Jurchens one after another. In the fifth year of Shaoxing, Huizong died in the grass shop in the prison in the Five Kingdoms City. Two years later, Emperor Gaozong learned that Huizong and Empress Zheng had passed away..." Ying Jieyan talked about the past. This history was also well known to Zhao Bing, but there were secrets he did not know.

Zhao Gou cried bitterly for the death of his father and Empress Zheng, and was even more worried about the fate of his biological mother, Empress Xuanhe. Just as the Yue family army won the victory in the battle company with the Jin army, he sought peace from the Jin Kingdom. While he was lifting Yue Fei's military power, he sent ministers to the Jin Kingdom to propose peace. Later, the Jin Kingdom sent a deliberation envoy to the Southern Song Dynasty. Emperor Gaozong said to the Jin envoy: "I have a world but I can't support my relatives, and Emperor Huizong is not as good as I can. Now I have made a vow and say it clearly to my empress dowager. I am not ashamed of peace."

After the Jin envoy returned to the country, Zhao Gou sent ministers to seek peace again. The Jin Kingdom finally agreed to Zhao Gou, but put forward four conditions: to submit a tribute to Jin; to pay tribute to 200,000 taels of silver and 250,000 pieces of silk; to cut off the four prefectures of Tang, Deng, Shang, and Qin; to kill Yue Fei, the commander of the anti-Jin Jin. Zhao Gou promised one by one, and on the eve of New Year's Eve of the 12th year of Shaoxing, he and Qin Hui killed Yue Fei and his son Yue Yun on the charge of "false". Once he died, all his efforts to fight against the Northern Expedition were wasted...

"Is this a bit far-fetched?" Zhao Bing frowned after hearing this. He said that for the sake of the word "filial piety", Zhao Gou killed Yue Fei, gave up the Northern Expedition, cede land for peace, and he would not believe it. Based on his experience of being an emperor for less than two years, killing Yue Fei was more because he was disobedient and interfered with the decree of the royal family. In a broad sense, it was also to prevent military generals from becoming prey and threatening his throne. He believed that if someone in the court dared to seize military power with him now, he would have killed him without hesitation.

Another reason was that Zhao Bing thought it was because of power. Zhao Gou succeeded the throne, there was no edict to pass the throne, and no edict from the empress dowager. In order to show that he did not usurp the throne, he could only find a deposed queen of Zhezong to pass the throne. That's why he was always guilty and did not dare to claim the truth. But the more he was sick, the more trouble he was. If the Northern Expedition was successful and he really brought back two emperors, the older and younger, he would be a little confused and he would not keep his word. If he wanted to give up the throne, how could he be willing? So Zhao Gou first killed Yue Fei, who was disobedient, and kept yelling to fight the Northern Expedition, and then put a big filial hat on himself to cover people's ears and ears, fooling the world.

"Your Majesty, there may be other reasons. But if you ignore the imperial edict of the Empress Dowager and refuse, you are afraid that you will be criticized by the people of the world!" Ying Jieyan also knew that Zhao Gou was also selfish, but his ministers could not argue with the emperor, so they could only vaguely pass it over and then discuss the matter.

"Then our monarch and ministers surrender to Yuan Dynasty, sir, are you willing!" Zhao Bing asked back.

"I would rather die than be a member of the Yuan Dynasty!" Ying Jieyan said without hesitation.

"That's it. We are unwilling to surrender to the Yuan Dynasty, and we also pay attention to what they did. We are not allowed to enter the 6 Qiongzhou!" Zhao Bing spread his arms and smiled bitterly.

"Your Majesty, but they have already reached the ashore in Lingao and are rushing to the capital." Ying Jieyan also said with a wry smile.

"Oh..." Zhao Bing was stunned when he heard this, thinking that these people in charge of the family were too ignorant, why did such trouble-seeking people make them ashore? But since they had already reached ashore, there was no way, and sighed, "Come on, maybe it's not what we think about, we just want to ask about the situation at home!"

"Your Majesty, I don't think of it. The ones who came were Liu Mengyan, the Minister of Rites of the enemy's court, and Wang Jiweng, the Minister of Justice. If you don't have to come with two important officials, you should come to issue a letter at the order of the enemy chief." Ying Jieyan shook his head and analyzed.

"Sir, is this Liu Mengyan the former left prime minister who moved north by Emperor Deyou?" Zhao Bing heard the familiar name and asked Jie Yan.

"Your Majesty, if there is no accident, you should be this thief!" Ying Jieyan said with a blue face.

"Well, this thief deserves to die, and he will harm his descendants!" Zhao Bing was well aware of this guy. If Lin'an falls and Emperor Deyou is surrendered to the end of the Song Dynasty, Liu Mengyan is also considered to be the last prime minister of the Song Dynasty.

Liu Mengyan was born in a good background. He was the top scholar in high school, but his colleagues had a poor score for the stroke, and they all said that he was treacherous and changed his mind. As for his qualifications, Zhao Bing couldn't remember it. He only knew that in the first year of Deyou, he was appointed as the Chief Privy Council and the Chief Political Affairs Office by Empress Dowager Xie, and was appointed as the Right Prime Minister and the Privy Councilor, and the governor of all the troops. Although he was ordered to be in danger, he retreated in the face of affairs and said that he was sick and did not leave his family. It was not until the Empress Dowager came to his family and became the left prime minister. However, he was unable to turn the tide, which made the court split up and finally took charge of the surrender work. He then surrendered to the new master and became a high-ranking official of the enemy.

If he fought for some reason and did not surrender to the Yuan Dynasty, people could tolerate his evil deeds, but he was willing to become a famous treacherous slander in history. After the fall of Yuan Dynasty, Pu Shougen's descendants were exiled to a lowly family and had been slaves and prostitutes for generations. Liu Mengyan's descendants were not good either. Zhejiang people once said: Liangzhe had Liu Mengyan, which was a shame for Liangzhe. Until the Ming Dynasty, all descendants of Liu surnames had to declare that they were not Liu Mengyan's descendants to be qualified for the exam. Therefore, Zhao Bing said that he was in trouble and his descendants did not curse him.

"Your Majesty is a benevolent and filial king. You still need to be patient for the time being and don't act rashly!" Ying Jieyan knew that the little emperor hated rebellion the most. In Guangzhou and Quanzhou, blood was flowing into a river. It was not impossible to kill Liu Mengyan in one breath, so he quickly persuaded him.

"Well, who is Wang Jiweng? Is he a northerner?" Zhao Bing nodded perfunctorily, then asked another one.

"Your Majesty, that king thief was once an important official in our dynasty..." Ying Jieyan sighed and said helplessly with a bitter face, and then explained the experience of this person in detail.

Speaking of which, Wang Jiweng's academic performance is not as good as Liu Mengyan. He went to the Imperial College to study and became an official in office. Zhao Bing is probably equivalent to dropping out of college today, relying on his ancestors' merits to get into the civil service. Although he was not very good at studying, he had no talent in the world and no character, but he was well versed in the art of power and planning and was familiar with the principle of sleeping on which side of the kang.

When Wang Jiweng fell in Lin'an, he fled with Empress Dowager Yang and Brother Zhao Bing. He was also considered a person who possessed the dragon's merit. Unfortunately, Zhao Bing would not be able to come yet and he didn't know which onion he was. After the establishment of the dynasty, he was appointed as the Fujian Institutional Envoy, but when the Yuan army arrived, he presented Fujian to the Yuan Dynasty and demoted Yuan to the internal support. He was retained by the Yuan Dynasty and was renamed the deputy envoy of Fujian Daoxuanfu, guarding Fuzhou. Later, he was promoted to Fuzhou Road General Manager, Fuzhou Prefecture, and was also renamed the envoy of Fujian Daoxuanfu. He was not sure when he was summoned to the capital and became a senior official in the court.

"It seems that these two are night owls coming!" The two traitors came with their brother-in-law, and they thought it was definitely not a good thing to use their feet. Zhao Bing said after hearing this.

"Your Majesty, there are not many people in the court who know about this matter now. The left prime minister asked Your Majesty to discuss what to do about it." Ying Jieyan also nodded and said again.

"When I think of me at this time, I've done something long ago. Let them take care of it!" Zhao Bing snorted coldly.

"Your Majesty, it's not a time to act voluntarily, so you should make plans early." Ying Jieyan knew that the young emperor was thinking that the left-behind people had not asked about the situation, so he let the two of them go ashore, which made it difficult for them to get on the ground. But if he let him go, it might cause chaos and not be conducive to stability.

"I think it's better not to go back for now. Let's make a decision after the purpose of their visit to Qiong and the Queen Mother's opinions!" Zhao Bing also knew that the matter was important and should not be underestimated. But he was not afraid of seeing people, but was worried that Queen Mother Yang would disagree with him. Should he listen or not at that time? It would be better to hide here first, so that there would be room for buffering.

"Well, Your Majesty is very worried. But you must also take precautions and don't let them visit some secrets!" Ying Jieyan reminded.

"Since we have calculated that they are malicious, there is no need to welcome and see them off with great fanfare. Let the Ministry of Rites send a minor official to Lingao to take them to the prefecture. We will temporarily place them in the inn to restrict their actions and not to meet guests at will!" Zhao Bing thought for a moment and asked.

"Okay, according to Your Majesty's wishes, I will write a letter to inform Zuo Xiang and others." Ying Jieyan agreed, laughing in his heart, the little emperor was simply humiliating the two of them. I remember that when I stayed in Mengyan as the prime minister, I was just going to pay tribute to these people. I also brought letters from the Empress Dowager and Emperor Deyou, and I was still so despised, which was even more embarrassing than beating them.

"Sir, I think that the two of them visited Qiong at this time, in addition to publishing a book, perhaps as Mr. said, there is a purpose of peeping into our dynasty's reality. Can we get from it..." Zhao Bing thought again, both Chinese and foreign envoys in ancient and modern times actually have the responsibility to collect intelligence, especially in ancient times, where there are fewer channels for obtaining intelligence, and he would not miss this opportunity. And now he is worried that he cannot find the "take the blame". Are these two people not the "take the blame" fallen from the sky?

"Your Majesty's intention is to use the two of you to influence the decision of the enemy chief Kublai Khan, so as to obtain time to recuperate and prepare for war!" Ying Jieyan knew that the little emperor was planning this matter, so he understood the meaning as soon as he heard it.
