Chapter 798
"The official family abandoned the temple and the society was lucky to Jinling. People's hearts collapsed. The thieves took advantage of the situation to penetrate deep, and the people were devastated. Now that they have won a great victory, they have led the enemy and bandits, turned back the blood, and offered the fishy smell. What a shame! What a shame!"

"Never negotiate a peace, let alone go to the land of Yanyun, or a hundred thousand years later, my Great Song Dynasty will also be cast aside by others!"

"Cai Gong, please write a letter!! Please Cai Gong, write a letter!!"

……

Inside the yamen of the Daming Mansion, Cai Jing leisurely sipped tea, but Liang Shijie walked in quickly, with a helpless expression on his face: "Father, there are more and more people around outside, and it seems that they all want to rush in, and the yamen servants are almost unable to stop them! "

He was very helpless. When the news of Yan Yun's recovery came, the whole Hebei was ecstatic, and everyone's faces were filled with smiles.

Because from now on, they finally have a barrier that can resist the prairie cavalry, and they don't have to be robbed and threatened by aliens all the time.

At that time, if someone proved that a relative in the family was a member of the township army, he would be surrounded by people and go to a restaurant to celebrate.

Since Fan Lou took the lead in giving back to the relatives of the township army, other wealthy businessmen in the Daming Mansion followed suit, making the common people directly feel that the once humble bandit with the army has also become a symbol of heroes and glory.

As a result, as soon as the peace talks came out, the situation took a turn for the worse. How excited they were before, how angry they are now.

The Liao army burned, killed and looted in Hebei. Even with the protection of the township corps, they committed a lot of blood debts. Now they can be wiped out, but they want to let the tiger go back to the mountain, and let the Liao army go to the land of Yanyun. The old coins are still...

After reading the announcements by officials and officials, the people in Hebei fell into panic again, and the scholars in Hebei fell into unparalleled shame. I don’t know how many people went directly north to Yanyun. The scene is completely conceivable.

Regarding this, Cai Jing put down his teacup calmly, and said with care: "Let the government servants remember not to hurt these pleading righteous men, and let them in when necessary. The old man's memento has already been prepared, you can take a look."

Liang Shijie stepped forward, looked at the wording of the memorial, and couldn't help widening his eyes, a little shocked: "Father, will you hurt the court's face too much by scolding me so angrily?"

In his impression, this father-in-law is not such a righteous and awe-inspiring person!

Cai Jing looked at this son-in-law who had finally calmed down a lot after busy work today, and gave some pointers: "What do you think of the attitude of the court officials this time?"

Liang Shijie said: "There must be many people who agree. If all the officials oppose it, the officials will not be able to go their own way..."

Cai Jing nodded: "That's right, but the prime minister's attitude deserves special attention."

"The Han family is in Xiangzhou, Hebei. Naturally, it is impossible for Han Zhongyan to allow the Liao army to return, and he must be opposed to the peace negotiation; Fan Chunli is the son of Duke Wenzheng, and his court is upright. Shen Yi is upright and will never agree to the peace negotiation; Cai Bian is my brother. , I won the merit of guarding the Daming Mansion, so naturally I don't want to give up all my previous achievements; even the one who once had selfish desires to gain power and was full of scheming will never compromise on such important matters that have been stinking for thousands of years!"

Liang Shijie frowned: "Since the prime minister and all the officials are against it, how can the peace talks be carried out so quickly?"

Cai Jing sighed: "The situation in the court has changed drastically, and the prime minister has lost his power. What's more, these four are no better than Zhang Gong... His Majesty moved the capital to Jinling, and got the officials from the south of the Yangtze River to rely on. It is indeed a good move for him to stabilize the imperial power!"

Liang Shijie heard the louder and louder voices outside, and really didn't understand what kind of skill it was.

Cai Jing, however, understood very well. If he was Zhao Ji, the previous treatment was similar. At worst, he would return to Bianjing after the war was over, as if nothing had happened. It is really foolish to prove to wash away his mother-killing behavior.

The son of heaven is the father of the emperor, and the emperor is the official family. All the merits of the subordinates will eventually be attributed to the ninety-five-year-old who sits on the dragon chair. Dare to force him to abdicate?
At that time, arrange some historians, with a swipe of Spring and Autumn, turn the defeat of the official army into covering the township army, and turn the relocation of the capital to the south into luring the enemy to go deep.

In the end, he chose to negotiate a peace. The notoriety of killing his mother has not been completely cleared away, and he bears even more infamy, which makes the hearts of the north lose their minds!
"I thought that Liao Emperor was a rare idiot, but I didn't expect this person to be able to retreat at a critical moment, and my emperor of the Song court..."

Cai Jing shook his head, not knowing whether to regret or be grateful, and asked again: "Did the reply from Gao Tiju come?"

Liang Shijie said: "Not yet, but Commander Lin is coming soon, and he should send a letter."

Cai Jing was startled when he heard the words, and immediately stood up: "Commander Lin is coming? Come with me to meet him!"

There were too many petitioners in the front yard, Lin Yuanjing sneaked in from the back door, and was a little surprised when he saw Cai Jing coming out of the hall, so he hurriedly bowed: "Why do you welcome Mrs. Cai personally?"

Cai Jing returned the salute, then pulled his sleeve, and said affectionately: "You and I guard the Daming Mansion together, and fought bloody battles with the northern captives, what kind of affection is this, why should we see outsiders?"

Lin Yuanjing said: "I don't dare to be ashamed. The Daming Mansion can not be lost, thanks to Cai Gong and Gao Tiju's perseverance. It's a pity that Luoyang, the people are dying..."

Cai Jing thought to himself that Luoyang City was broken, which would show my contribution to protecting Hebei. With a look of compassion on his face, he nodded again and again: "Yes! Yes! Hebei can't suffer any more. Yanyun, who came so hard, is more I can no longer give up to the Liao people, can you give me a letter?"

Lin Yuanjing took out the letter sent back from Xiao Hei: "This is Gao Tiju's letter, please read it, Mr. Cai."

Cai Jing took it, opened it, looked at it carefully, and immediately sighed: "Gao Tiju is worthy of being the blue sky of my people in the Great Song Dynasty. He said in his letter that he would never allow the main force of the Liao army to retreat safely, let alone let them go to Yanmen! "

Lin Yuanjing worried: "I want to resist the imperial edict after a high promotion? But this time it's a covenant signed by the imperial court..."

Cai Jingdao: "The two evils are the lesser. Now that the land of Yanyun has just been restored, once the Liao army enters Yanmen, the consequences will be unimaginable. If the old man were to switch with Gao Tiju, he would make the same choice..."

Lin Yuanjing said respectfully: "Duke Cai is highly righteous!"

Cai Jing knew that he couldn't just talk empty words, and said in a deep voice: "This old man guards Beijing and acts as an agent for Hebei's defense, but there is really not much he can do. We can only try our best to provide food and grass for the township army, and express our full support from all over Hebei!"

Lin Yuanjing was a little moved: "Is the Han family still willing to send food?"

The grain and grass of the Township Corps were originally provided by the three local clans Han, Lu, and Chai. Since the main force of the Liao army left Hebei, the Lu and Chai remained the same. The largest Han clan Anyang guild was not very active in supplying grain and grass. The head of the chamber of commerce, Han Misun, was a short-sighted person, relying entirely on Han Jiayan to send people to supervise, and when he was a little slack, he began to push back and forth.

Cai Jing had anticipated this scene a long time ago, and handed over this matter to Song Qiaonian, his in-law who is far more capable than Liang Shijie, and even warned him not to be afraid of offending the Han family, and to use the magistrate to suppress him if necessary. : "The township army promised not to pay grain in Yanyun, and it should supply grain and grass. Only with grain in hand can the morale of the army and the people be stabilized. No amount of reserves can be overstated!"

Of course, Lin Yuanjing knew how important food and grass were under the current situation, and he sincerely thanked: "I work for the township army, thank you Mr. Cai for your kindness!"

Cai Jing smiled and said: "Commander Lin is out of touch again. I really want to talk about great kindness. If Mr. Lin hadn't conquered Yanyun, we would still be threatened by the Liao army. Please reply quickly and express your attitude as soon as possible. Good day to Yan Yun's heart!"

Lin Yuanjing clasped his fists heavily, turned and left.

Watching his back, Liang Shijie was puzzled and said: "Father, you sent so much food and grass to Yanyun, and you didn't hesitate to offend the Han family. Why?"

Cai Jing leisurely: "You don't understand, the land of Yanyun may not belong to the Liao Kingdom, nor to the Song Dynasty. This time, the grain and grass are just a timely gift. How can we miss such a good opportunity?"

"Besides, this is not to offend the Han family. People in the north have lost their hearts, and the local tyrants also want to seek self-protection. There is absolutely no harm in making friends with the township army for them. Yanyun is also a barrier in Hebei. This old man's move is public or private, and I can't challenge it. If there is a mistake, who can blame it?"

Cai Jing stopped talking, and turned to the crowd outside the yamen, listening to the growing voices: "Has no one rushed in yet? It seems that the imperial court's majesty has not yet fallen to the bottom, and there is an opportunity... "

Back in the hall, Cai Jing processed a batch of documents efficiently, and was leisurely preparing to go to rest. Suddenly, he heard a yamen servant rushing in from outside, and what he reported was not the petitioners storming the yamen, but another news: "Report! There are Enter the city in a hurry at [-] miles!"

Cai Jing waved his hand casually: "Let them go directly north, I won't take them!"

In the past, everyone had to be very careful about the urgent gold medal transmission in eight hundred miles, but when the messenger received a reply, he really left in a hurry. The whole Daming Mansion found out that it seemed to be the same .

But then, everyone including Cai Jing was shocked.

Because there are more than one group of messengers this time, the number is beyond expectation.

"Report! Another [-] miles to rush into the city!"

"Report! There are still eight hundred miles to rush into the city!"

"Report! The third gold medal!"

"Fifth piece!"

"The seventh piece!"

……

"Twelve dollars..."

When the fast horses, the messengers hold the golden lights and shadows in their hands, the dazzling brilliance flashed across the eyes of passers-by, and even after there were regular intervals in time, everyone began to count .

In the end, I found that it was quite particular.

Twelve gold medals, one every hour, and twelve batches of urgent couriers of eight hundred miles, with the Song Liao alliance and Zhao Ji's imperial decree, went to Yanyun.

"Issuing twelve gold medals in a row in one day. This is because His Majesty is worried that Gao Qiu will continue to resist the order. He wants to force him to submit in this way. How will this be recorded in the history books?"

Cai Jing stroked his beard for a moment, and his eyes lit up: "Hurry up and get the playbook, the scolding was too gentle before, I need to change it!"

 Thanks to the book friend ""The Great Emperor of the Underworld"" for the [-] rewards, and to the book friends "This slacker didn't write anything", "Rogeotarifus" and "Xianhe" for their rewards.
