Chapter 105 Conspiracy with the Golden Man
But since he mentioned himself, you might as well ask him what he thinks about himself.
"What do you think of Zhao Yingluo? Although she is a princess, her seeds and planting techniques have benefited the people of the Song Dynasty, and she has led private soldiers to defeat the Jin people. In terms of merit, she can be said to be the mainstay of the Song Dynasty. "
Zhu Shengfei sighed, "You are right. In the Song Dynasty, she did contribute to the country, but because of this, the officials felt threatened. Do you know what it means to have great achievements that shake the master? Her performance It was so prominent that the officials felt a personal threat.”
"So your Excellency, you think it is natural for the officials to send troops to destroy her?"
Zhu Shengfei shook his head, "I don't think so. It's just that officials are also human beings. What he did was to ensure that his throne was not threatened and that the country of the Song Dynasty was stable."
"The country of the Song Dynasty was stable? He preferred to settle in the south of the Yangtze River. He did not want to regain his homeland in Hebei, but he wanted to kill meritorious ministers. In my opinion, he was an extremely stupid and unfaithful king!"
When Zhu Shengfei saw her arranging the current emperor like this, he frowned and yelled loudly, "Sir, be careful what you say! This is a treasonous and unethical theory. If others listen to it, it may bring disaster to the nine tribes."
Zhao Yingluo raised her eyebrows slightly. Could it harm the nine clans?I'm afraid this brother really doesn't have the guts to do anything to his father and brothers and sisters.
When Zhu Shengfei saw that she was silent, he thought he was frightened, so he comforted him and said, "If you are careful about your words and actions from now on, there will be no danger of death. It's just a pity for Her Royal Highness, she may be in danger of death soon!"
"How?"
"The officials have already intended to contact the Kingdom of Jin and attack her from the north and the south to destroy her."
After Zhao Yingluo heard the news, she was shocked and contacted Jin Guo to beat her sister. When did Zhao Gou become so stupid? "Are you kidding me? The Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom are enemies. How can an official collude with the Golden Dog to attack his sister?"
Zhu Shengfei sighed, "I'm not joking. Now in the court, it seems that the main fighting faction like us has declined, and the officials have blindly listened to the slanders of Qin Hui and others, and are about to ask the Kingdom of Jin to send troops to attack Kaifeng."
"I dare to ask your lord the official taboo?"
"Zhu Shengfei, a late talent, was appointed deputy envoy to the Privy Council."
When Zhao Yingluo heard that he was actually Zhu Shengfei, she couldn't help but smile. It's true that you can't find anything even if you break through iron shoes, and it takes no effort at all!
"It turns out to be Mr. Zhu! Why are you bringing your family to the outskirts of the country instead of admonishing the admonishing officials to stop their internal fighting in the court?"
Zhu Shengfei's face turned red, "Now there are wolves in the court, it seems that our loyal ministers are being squeezed out and not welcomed by the officials..."
Zhao Yingluo immediately understood that he was angry with the officials, "So, sir, you have returned to your hometown to relax?"
"The officials insist on colluding with the Jin people. I can't bear to see the internal strife in the Song Dynasty."
"Do you think, Your Highness, the princess will win in the end, or will the official scheme succeed?"
"Although Her Royal Highness has hundreds of thousands of troops, if the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom unite, I am afraid that she will not be able to defeat four people with just one fist."
"If Your Highness the Princess can win, will you be willing to be her internal support?"
Zhu Shengfei was speechless, "Internal intelligence? Sir, do you want me to betray the Song Dynasty? But I can't do this."
"Her Royal Highness the Princess is also a member of the royal family, and she also has the support of the Supreme Emperor and other princes. How can your support of Her Royal Highness the Princess be considered betrayal of the Song Dynasty?" Zhu Shengfei never expected that this young gentleman would support Zhao Yingluo so much, so he asked , "Sir, you are so protective of Her Highness the Princess. Could it be that she is one of Her Highness's people, spying on the news in Lin'an?"
Zhao Yingluo stared at him and said word by word, "It doesn't matter who I support. What matters is whether you are pretending to be the Song Dynasty or the official family. People who have a little understanding of the court situation should know that the official family is always with the Jin people." Seeking peace, maintaining peace in the south of the Yangtze River, and abandoning the people of the Song Dynasty in the Central Plains, can he be considered a wise king?"
"This……"
"Now Her Royal Highness has carried out the hopes of the people of the Song Dynasty, vigorously promoted planting technology to keep the people fed and clothed, and raised private soldiers to fend off the golden soldiers. The world calls it a god descending to the earth! Shaping her body and offering incense, I dare to ask whether the officials have such public sentiments ?”
Zhu Shengfei was speechless for a moment.
"If you care about the country of the Song Dynasty and the common people in the world, you will worry about the people when you live in a temple! What is ridiculous is that you run away from setbacks and are foolishly loyal to officials. Can you be considered a famous minister?"
Zhu Shengfei's heart began to waver, yes!What is the purpose of studying to gain fame by yourself?Isn’t it just that you can’t live up to the Song Dynasty and the people below?Now that the officials have been deceived by the capitulation faction, they have actually united with the Kingdom of Jin to attack Her Royal Highness. This is really not a wise king.
"Please teach me, sir!"
"Go back to the court. Even if you can't stop the officials from sending troops to Kaifeng, you still have to pass the news to Her Royal Highness in time. Your Excellency, you should know the consequences. If Her Royal Highness loses, when the Jin Kingdom captures Kaifeng, they will go south to overthrow the Song Dynasty. The beginning of the Great Song Dynasty. For the sake of the Song Dynasty, you should put aside your foolishness and loyalty and show your righteousness!"
Zhu Shengfei was silent for a while, and his brows gradually relaxed, "Mr.'s words turned the clouds and made me enlightened. I will return to the city immediately and go to the officials to prevent them from sending troops to attack."
……
Liu Guangshi's defeat made Zhao Gou sick for a few more days. After his health improved, he summoned Qin Hui and other surrendering factions to the imperial court.
"Qin Qing said, can we contact the Kingdom of Jin to deal with Zhao Yingluo together? But now that Song and Jin are enemy countries, how can they help me?"
Qin Hui said with a smile, "Guan, Zhao Yingluo once defeated the Jin army, and everyone in the Jin country hated him. As long as we promise benefits, how can they not send troops?"
Zhao Gou frowned, "I'm afraid I'll drive away a hungry wolf and attract a fierce tiger."
"The officials are overly worried. What the Jin Kingdom is planning is nothing more than the money and property of our Song Dynasty. I dare to guarantee it! After the two countries join forces to destroy Zhao Yingluo, the Kingdom of Jin will not invade the borders of our Song Dynasty."
Zhao Gou was also a little afraid that one day Zhao Yingluo would really raise his arms and lead his army south to Lin'an, so he had the intention of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, "That's it, I will send an envoy to Yanjing now. If the Kingdom of Jin is really willing If you send troops to help, I will be rewarded with military pay."
When Zhu Shengfei learned that Zhao Gou actually sent envoys to the Kingdom of Jin, he tried his best to dissuade officials from seeking skin from the tiger. However, Zhao Gou had already completely entrusted the stability of his throne to the capitulation faction, so how could he listen to him? Advice.
In desperation, Zhu Shengfei had no choice but to send the news to Kaifeng, hoping that he could help the princess a little, but he did not know that Wang Zaixing, who had established contact with him, gave the letter to Zhao Yingluo who was lurking in Lin'an that day.
"Your Highness, if the officials do this, they will only chill the hearts of the people in the world."
Zhao Yingluo sneered, "This is the result he wants. If he doesn't chill the hearts of the people in the world, his next move will be difficult. Send a message to General Yue Fei and Zong Lao quickly to get them ready for battle. Order to send a message to Wang Shan, ordering him to stick to Pingyang Mansion and contain the Jin Kingdom's West Route Army from going south."
"I'll make arrangements now, little man."
