Qiming 1158

Chapter 528 The end general just feels that the southern country is too incompetent
When the news of the emperor's canonization of the crown prince came out, although the ministers were surprised, they thought that the country's capital was stable and that the Song Dynasty had an inheritor, so they didn't think much about it.

Together, they went to congratulate the crown prince, congratulate the Great Song Emperor on having an heir, and congratulate the stability of the inheritance of the throne.

But they didn't expect that after the wedding was over, news spread from the palace that there were ten sons of Zhao Ji in the Northern Song Dynasty clan that was about to return to their homeland.

I don't know who sent the news, but the news that Zhao Ji has ten sons alive is really surprising. At the same time, the ministers finally came to their senses.

The Emotional Emperor is so eager to confirm the identity of the crown prince, in order to prevent Zhao Ji's ten sons from having an impact on the inheritance of the throne after their return?

The emperor is still one step ahead in chess.

Now even if someone wants to use this topic to quarrel again, I am afraid it will not work.

The crown prince already has a candidate. They don't think about themselves, but also for future generations. If the competition fails, and now this is the crown prince's enthronement as the emperor, the first thing after ascending the throne must be to start with these old fools. , take revenge on them.

Being revengeful by the emperor must be unpleasant.

Therefore, this inside story did not cause much controversy in the court, and the ministers were very tacit and did not speak, and kept themselves safe.

On the contrary, the news that the Northern Song Dynasty clan was about to return sparked a heated debate among the people and scholars in Lin'an City. This topic instantly became a front page headline in Lin'an City and dominated the page for several days.

The dusty past is gradually being brought up, the humiliation of more than 30 years ago has once again returned to people's field of vision, and all kinds of things that people do not want to mention have once again become topics of discussion.

So a group of literati and writers wrote poems and lyrics with a sad mood, expressing their condolences to the royal family who died.

Of course, there are also some people who reflect on why the royal family was not rescued by Song himself, but by the Restoration Army.

They feel that this may not be a good thing for Da Song.

However, in this way, the news of the Jin Kingdom's collapse finally came to fruition in Lin'an City, and no one doubted that the Restoration Army failed to solve the Jin Kingdom, and no one would think that the Jin Kingdom could make a comeback.

A feeling of confusion mixed with happiness gradually pervaded the city of Lin'an, from officials down to the common people. After confirming the news that Jin Guozhen was finished, he felt inexplicably confused and fortunate.

Jin Guo, who was regarded as the enemy, was so finished, and anyone would feel confused.

The Southern Song Dynasty was oppressed by the Jin Dynasty for more than 30 years, and the humiliation experience of more than 30 years was unforgettable to them.

When the Jin Kingdom is finished, no one will feel relieved and grateful, because there is no need to fight, and there is no need to face life-threatening, no Jin soldiers will go south, and the crisis will be lifted.

The news spreads farther and farther and spreads more and more widely, and more and more people are looking forward to the coming beautiful life with a relaxed and happy mood.

Don't think that the common people don't think like this, the common people are actually the happiest, because the golden country is over, and the heavy burden on their heads will disappear.

The year-old coins that are offered to Jin Guo every year are also from the common people, which is a heavy burden, not only to increase the tax, but also to increase the corvée.

Jin Guo wants gold and silver, and this wealth needs to be transported all the way from the southern mountainous area to the Lianghuai region for delivery to Jin Guo, and the people along the way need to bear all the hard work.

Not only must we contribute money, but we must also contribute. Once a year, the people in the areas along the northbound route of the tossed currency are miserable, so the land is deserted, and a large number of people flee, resulting in a larger wave of refugees.

But now, the Golden Kingdom is gone, and the Sui Coin is gone, and the people around the area along the way north of the Sui Coin are the happiest.

When the news came, they sang, danced, rejoiced, and sang the good and happy life to come.

In such an atmosphere, it is worth mentioning that there are a very small group of people who are keenly aware of the changes and various possibilities of the situation in the north after the Restoration Army replaced the Jin Kingdom, and whether it is possible on the diplomatic front of the Southern Song Dynasty. Something went wrong.

In their opinion, the Restoration Army, which destroyed the Jin Kingdom, has become bigger and stronger. Although both belong to the Han people, they may not necessarily surrender to the Southern Song Dynasty. If the two sides cannot make progress in the diplomatic negotiation field, it is difficult to say whether a new situation of separatism and confrontation will form in the future. .

Even the Restoration Army will establish an independent state and become the next Jin Kingdom.

These very few people seem to regard the Restoration Army as an unfriendly force, and they are on guard against the Restoration Army. The representative is Hu Quan, the main battle faction who Zhang Juncai recalled to Lin'an soon.

After receiving the news that the Restoration Army had broken the Central Capital, Hu Quan and a few officials with a broad vision suggested that Zhang Jun should be on guard against the Restoration Army.

Their reason is that after the destruction of the Jin Kingdom, the Restoration Army will definitely expand. Maybe it will have the meaning of calling the empire and building a country. How to face the Restoration Army at that time will have to come up with a charter.

Hu Quan knew that Zhang Jun wanted to negotiate with the Liberation Army and hoped to solve the problem through negotiation, but he believed that the Liberation Army would not give up what he had gained through the death battle so easily, and felt that Zhang Jun's idea was too simplistic.

However, their voices are very small, and they cannot attract anyone's attention. There is no market in Lin'an City, which is swept away by the relaxed atmosphere.

Zhang Jun also disagreed with this view, and asked Hu Quan not to express his views publicly, because it would cause some unnecessary troubles.

In this atmosphere, in mid-June, Su Yonglin arranged for [-] members of the Northern Song Dynasty royal family and their related people, headed by Emperor Rongde Ji Zhao Jinnu, to go south from Zhongdu.

The group of people smiled and returned to their hearts like arrows. At the end of June, they successfully arrived at Haizhou, the border area between the Song Dynasty and the Restoration Army.

In Haizhou, they met the welcoming team headed by Chen Kangbo.

When Chen Kangbo saw the 60-year-old Zhao Jinnu, he couldn't help crying. He knelt down in front of Zhao Jinnu and cried terribly.

Zhao Jinnu also cried a lot. He bent down to help Chen Kangbo up, and wept together again. Their crying caused many people to cry together, so many clans of the Northern Song Dynasty and the officials of the Southern Song Dynasty who were negotiating here cried together. .

Although they cried so fiercely, it was not the time for the clans to return. The clans needed to wait for the official edict of the Southern Song Dynasty court and the official welcome team before they could go back.

Right now, after they met for the first time, they had to live in Haizhou for a while, waiting for the imperial court to send an official embassy to greet them.

So Chen Kangbo packed up and prepared to return to Lin'an.

Before leaving, he thanked Zhao Zuoliang who followed him.

"The loss of the imperial clan to the enemy is something that Song has always been deeply saddened by. Now that the clan is able to return to the motherland, it is the kindness of the leader and the Restoration Army to the Song. This kind of kindness will never be forgotten by the Song. If there is a chance , must repay."

Zhao Zuoliang laughed, holding Chen Kangbo's hand and said with a smile: "Both are Han people, but it's just a hands-on effort. By the way, about Kaifeng, please don't forget Chen Xianggong."

Chen Kangbo blinked, then nodded.

"After returning home, I will definitely report this to Your Majesty."

"That's good."

After that, under the watch of Zhao Zuoliang, Chen Kangbo left Haizhou with the mission, returned to Songjing, and went to Lin'an to discuss important matters.

Qi Shaohui stood beside Zhao Zuoliang and sighed again and again.

Zhao Zuoliang turned around to look at Qi Shaohui and said with a smile, "What are you sighing for?"

"Returning to lead the commander, the last general just thinks that Nanguo is too incompetent. After more than 30 years, he can't even save the clan's children."

Qi Shaohui looked at the back of the returning Song people with disdain on his face: "If we lose our brothers and sisters in the hands of the gold thieves, we will try our best to save them. It's as if nothing happened to them. The princess went from her 20s to her 60s, 60 years old!"

Zhao Zuoliang was silent for a while, then turned back to look at the backs of the gradually disappearing Song State team.

"People can be so ruthless, Yu Ting is right, the Zhao Guan family of Song country is really someone who can't be trusted at all, and Song country can't be trusted either, Shao Hui, you need to prepare more and train your soldiers in many ways to prepare for emergencies. what."

Qi Shaohui was taken aback.

"Do the people of Song dare to go north to attack us?"

"They dare not fight against us. After all, we have never fought against each other. In the future, they will inevitably have some unrealistic fantasies."

Zhao Zuoliang's voice was very low.

Qi Shaohui pouted.

"If they dare to come, I will kill all the intruding enemies and build a Jingguan here, hum! Don't think that the Jin Kingdom is gone, we are easy to bully!"

Zhao Zuoliang was noncommittal and did not express any opinion on this.
