Qian Song

...

in fact--

The reason why Zhao Gou ran away blindly without taking the initiative to make any resistance was caused by several reasons.

The first reason is Zhao Gou's heart knot that he is most afraid of being touched by others. He is worried that his ministers think that his throne has come from a wrong path.

This also explains why the officials of the main battle faction in the Western Song Dynasty, such as Zong Ze, and the historical Yue Fei, all ended in tragedy, while the officials of the main peace faction were able to be reused by Zhao Gou.

The reason is actually very simple, that is, the ministers of the peace faction have figured out the key point, that is, the current emperor is Zhao Gou, and we have to be loyal to Zhao Gou, not Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan who don't know where they are locked up .

However, the ministers of the main combat faction were only focused on calling for the recovery of the Central Plains and the return of the Second Sage all day long, and they never got the pulse of Zhao Gou.

Not to mention whether this slogan can be realized, even if it is just a slogan, in Zhao Gou's view, the ministers of the main combat faction don't take him seriously, so he will never listen to the opinions of the main combat ministers.

The second reason is that Zhao Gou actually did not have much relationship with Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan, including other royal families and clans of the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

This is mainly due to the fact that Zhao Gou's mother, Webster, was not favored by Zhao Ji, so Zhao Gou's status in the royal family and clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty was not high.

Zhao Ji is the emperor of painting and calligraphy, the emperor of love, and has many concubines. At his peak, there were many more women in the palace than Li Cun's.

Among them, concubines Liu and Concubine are all gorgeous, Empress Zheng and Concubine Qiao are also beautiful, tactful and affectionate, and they are all skilled in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

And Webster was born as an ordinary court lady, not to mention her humble status, her beauty is not too outstanding, and she has no talent. If she really wants to find something special, it is probably more gentle and understanding.

But, if you think about it, how can a woman who is with the emperor dare not be gentle and considerate?
So in Zhao Ji's eyes, this advantage of Webster's is not a strong point.

Webster's ability to give birth to Zhao Gou was purely due to the help of Concubine Qiao and good luck.

The point is, Zhao Ji really has no sexual interest in Wei Shi, he couldn't hold back Concubine Qiao, so he casually visited Wei Shi, and let Wei Shi give birth to Zhao Gou.

After that, Zhao Ji and Webster seldom interacted with each other again.

When Zhao Gou was very young, there was a picture that was fixed in his mind: Every time the sun went down and the lanterns were held, Webster always stood in the courtyard of the palace to admire the flowers, his eyes seemed to be fixed on the flowers, but in fact It was looking at the other side of the palace wall, with a sad face and a gloomy look, until the youth was gone, and the frown had never been relaxed.After growing up, Zhao Gou gradually understood that it was Zhao Ji that Webster had been waiting for year after year, but Webster never waited for Zhao Ji.

In Zhao Ji's harem, there are many beauties, and there are dozens of princes and princesses, so although Wei Shi gave birth to Zhao Gou, he did not get Zhao Ji's favor because of this.

Among the concubines in Zhao Ji's harem, Webster's status is very low.

This also caused Zhao Gou's status in the royal family and even in the clan to be very low, not to mention compared with Zhao Kai who was favored by Zhao Ji, even compared with ordinary princes.

Zhao Gou grew up in such an environment. How could he have any feelings for Zhao Ji and the royal family and clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty?
Later, when Li Cun defeated the Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou was sent by Zhao Huan to negotiate peace with the Dagan Dynasty. The situation at that time was that whoever went to see Li Cun would be detained by Li Cun. Therefore, Zhao Huan asked Zhao Gou to die. Pass.

As a result, Zhao Gou was blessed by misfortune and was not captured by the Gan army. He managed to get to the current position of emperor. How could he rescue Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan, who had no feelings for him, and the royal family and clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty? What about adding countless troubles to yourself?
Furthermore, Zhao Gou didn't want to resist, he just wanted to escape, and there was another very real reason, that is, he couldn't control too many big men in the military.

Not to mention Zong Ze, a military leader with a heavy army in his hands, actually didn't listen to Zhao Gou's orders at all, and has been desperately resisting the attack of the Gan army. Even a small leader of the rebel army like Li Yanxian dared to attack Zhao Gou Gou disobeyed and refused to obey Zhao Gou's orders. He withdrew to the west of Tongguan and insisted on defending Shanzhou outside Tongguan.

Moreover, the soldiers of the Song Army who dared to fight against the Qian Army were only a small number after all, and more Song Army soldiers chose to surrender in Kaesong when faced with the extremely ferocious Qian Army. The soldiers of the army are not trying to protect the country and society for Zhao Gou, they are just trying to ensure their so-called strategic space and protect their own hometown.

Surrender has now become the biggest trend of the Song army. As long as the Qian army is approaching the city, many soldiers of the Song army will immediately open the city and surrender.

Ordinarily, for this act of surrender, Zhao Gou should execute them all according to military law.

But the law does not blame the public. Facing such a common situation, Zhao Gou simply cannot pursue it.

On the other hand, Zhao Gou was also afraid that all these arrogant soldiers would be turned against him, and his own situation would be even more dangerous.

Let's put it this way, in Zhao Gou's eyes, these Song Army soldiers are not only incapable of escorting, but may threaten his life at any time.

Therefore, Zhao Gou had no choice but to pretend not to know about the surrender of the generals of the Song Army, and dared not delve into it.

Faced with such a group of generals who made Zhao Song feel at ease, Zhao Gou would certainly not lead them to fight against the army.

Therefore, Zhao Gou could only choose to escape.

However, Zhao Gou, who had already run to Sichuan, also knew clearly that he really had no place to run anymore.

——At this time, Zhao Gou was actually very worried that Li Cun would give him a catch and catch his little king.

In order to survive, Zhao Gou could only beg for peace with Li Cun in spite of himself, hoping that Li Cun would let him live and spare his life.

Zhao Gou even shamelessly expressed his sincerity in begging his wife to let him go. Li Cun's loyalty moved Li Cun, and Li Cun even sent an envoy to see Zhao Gou.

The envoy Li Cun sent this time was still Wang Lun.

Last time, when Wang Lun was sent as an envoy, he was detained by Zhao Gou and the others for a period of time when he was still the small imperial court of the Western Song Dynasty in the Generalissimo's Mansion.

But soon, under the powerful offensive of the Gan army, Zhao Gou personally invited Wang Lun out of the place of house arrest, and then sent Wang Lun back to the Daqian Dynasty with a smile, and Zhao Gou returned He ordered people to bring a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry to Wang Lun, as well as two beauties, hoping that Wang Lun could give him some kind words in front of Li Cun, let Li Cun spare him, and spare his life as a puppy.

Now, seeing that the envoy was Wang Lun whom he had bribed, Zhao Gou was overjoyed, and immediately stepped forward with a smile on his face and said, "I have seen Ambassador Wang."

Zhao Gou was an emperor after all, and when he saw the envoys of the enemy, he was so flattering, and it was inevitable that many of his courtiers would feel contemptuous of him.

But then again, now the small court of the Western Song Dynasty has been beaten to the last breath by the Dagan Dynasty, and now the Dagan Dynasty is acting as a fish and meat for the small court of the Western Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou puts his posture so low , is actually quite normal.

Seeing Zhao Gouyan, Wang Lun had no choice but to accompany the actor and said: "I have seen King Kang, is Kang Wang here?"

For the Zhao Song Dynasty that had been abolished by Li Cun, the Dagan Dynasty would definitely not be able to recognize it. Then, the Dagan Dynasty would certainly not be able to recognize the small court of the Western Song Dynasty that succeeded the Zhao Song Dynasty. It can even be said that even the Zhao Dynasty In fact, this King Kang no longer exists, because Li Cun once decreed to abolish all the royal family and clan of the Zhao and Song Dynasties, which of course includes Zhao Gou's title of King Kang.

But for Zhao Gou, you have to have a name, right?
Moreover, Wang Lun's mission to the small imperial court of the Western Song Dynasty was to complete the political tasks assigned to him by Li Cun, not to seek trouble.

As for Zhao Gou, he himself had already asked Li Cun to call him King Kang. How could he have any objection to Wang Lun, who represented Li Cun, calling him King Kang?

Zhao Gou hurriedly said: "No harm! No harm!" Then he couldn't wait to ask: "The ambassador is here, do you have any good news?"

Wang Lun said with a smile: "Kang Kang is as good as God. The envoy came here and indeed brought good news."

As soon as Wang Lun said this, Zhao Gou was overjoyed!

Zhao Gou hurriedly asked: "I would like to hear the details!"

Not wanting to, Wang Lun looked at the ministers of the small court of the Western Song Dynasty who were following Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou understood immediately, and understood that Wang Lun didn't want other people to hear their conversation.

Zhao Gou immediately winked at Zhu Shengfei, the new prime minister.

——After Zhao Gou settled down in Xingyuan Mansion, he dismissed Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan from their positions as prime ministers.Zhao Gou dismissed Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan, on the one hand, because they were incompetent, and they didn’t know how to resist and would only run away. And Huang Qianshan misled the country.Of course, Zhao Gou didn’t feel that Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan were wronging the country because of their clever words and flattery, but Zhao Gou felt that Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan were lying to him, saying that as long as he begged for peace with Li Cun, Li Cun would let him go. It turned out that this was useless at all, and it also caused the embarrassment of Qian Junbing approaching the city, causing him to flee from Chang'an in a hurry.After Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan were removed by Zhao Gou, Zhao Gou appointed Zhu Shengfei as prime minister, and Wang Yuan as privy envoy and commander of the imperial capital.

Seeing Zhao Gou winking at him, Zhu Shengfei immediately dismissed all civil and military officials, and then invited Wang Lun to the palace with Zhao Gou.

After the guests and hosts were seated, Zhao Gou asked again: "May I ask the ambassador, what good news did you bring this time?"

Only then did Wang Lun say: "Your Majesty grants King Kang's request, and the two families can negotiate a peace."

Although he had already guessed this possibility, Zhao Gou couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard Wang Lun say that Li Cun agreed to negotiate peace with him.

Zhu Shengfei, on the other hand, asked calmly: "Dare to ask the ambassador, what are the terms of your Majesty's peace negotiation?"

After being reminded by Zhu Shengfei, Zhao Gou quickly put away his joy.

This alliance under the city will definitely not make him feel too good. He should first listen to Li Cun's excessive conditions, and then he will be happy in time.

Wang Lun intentionally held off for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty wants to let the people rest and recuperate, and because Wei Jieyu is pregnant with a dragon seed, he is very happy and does not want to kill King Kang, so the terms of this agreement are extremely generous."

Hearing that his mother was pregnant with Li Cun's child, Zhao Gou was extremely embarrassed, but he didn't dare to show it. As you can imagine, Zhao Gou's face looked like he was constipated, and at the same time he had to smile, This in turn led to how ugly Zhao Gou's smile was.

Fortunately-

Wang Lun could understand Zhao Gou's mood at this time, so Wang Lun chose to ignore Zhao Gou's expression at this time, and gave Zhao Gou some time to adapt.

In fact, Wang Lun is already kind enough. If he told Zhao Gou that Zhao Gou's queen Xing Bingyi and two concubines Tian Chunluo and Jiang Zuimei were all pregnant because of being lucky by Li Cunlin often, Zhao Gou might not be able to stretch himself .

It must be said that Zhao Gou really deserves to be a shameless person who lived to be 80 years old after eating so many Wang Qi in history. He quickly digested the news, and then said with a smile on his face: "Xiao Wang is grateful to Your Majesty the Dragon King!" Well, it's just... I don't know what kind of generous conditions His Majesty bestowed?"

Seeing that Zhao Gou was so patient, Wang Lun nodded secretly, and said in his heart, "No wonder this person can inherit the great treasure of Zhao Song. There is indeed something extraordinary about it."

At the same time, Wang Lun said: "Your Majesty's first condition is that your family is not allowed to form an alliance with Jin Xia."

Hearing the condition put forward by Wang Lun, both Zhao Gou and Zhu Shengfei breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

At this time, the Kingdom of Jin not only stepped up its efforts to beat the pass in the Yanyun area, Wanyan Zonghan also personally led [-] elite cavalry to detour to Xixia, and formed a coalition with the [-] troops dispatched by Xixia. The controlled Yanyan Road moved eastward and began to attack the Hedong area controlled by the Dagan Dynasty, even pointing directly at Yundi.

There are 15 Jinxia coalition forces, and most of them are cavalry.

This is a powerful military force capable of destroying a country.

Under such circumstances, if the small imperial court of the Western Song Dynasty desperately dragged the main force of the Gan army to Shaanxi, it would definitely be enough for the Dagan Dynasty to drink a pot, at least it would make Hedong and Yun, who had finally come out of the flames of war The flames of war rekindled between the two places.

Under such circumstances, one of Li Cun's choices was to temporarily stop destroying the Song Dynasty, withdraw the Shaanxi army to Hedong, and fight with the 15 troops of Jinxia and Xia.

Of course, Li Cun can also choose to continue to destroy the small imperial court of the Western Song Dynasty, and then fight with the 15 troops of Jinxia and Xia.

However, if Li Cun chose the latter, then the people of the Dagan Dynasty in Hedong and Yundi might inevitably be burned, killed and looted by the Hulu.

To be honest, it would not be unreasonable for Li Cun to choose the latter. After all, in the eyes of many people, the great unification is above all else. Even if the people in Hedong and Yundi were burned, killed and looted, so what? It is not that he has not been burned, killed and looted by the barbarians.

But now it seems that Li Cun should have chosen to protect his own people first.

Undoubtedly, Li Cun's choice is the luck of the people under his rule.

However, as long as Li Cun chooses this way, not only the people under Li Cun's rule will be lucky, but the small imperial court of the Western Song Dynasty will also become very lucky. A chance for the little imperial court to breathe.

Zhao Gou and Zhu Shengfei are very fortunate that Li Cun cares more about the safety of the people under his rule than to complete the unification regardless of everything.

As for Li Cun's condition that the small court of the Western Song Dynasty not form an alliance with Jin and Xia.

Not to mention that the small imperial court of the Western Song Dynasty can't take care of the covenant with Jin and Xia at all now. The small court of the Song Dynasty fought desperately with the powerful Daqian Dynasty, allowing the Jin and Xia countries to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Furthermore, only if the Daqian Dynasty and the Jin and Xia countries suffered three defeats, the small court of the Western Song Dynasty would have a chance to restore the country.

——Don't think that Zhao Gou and the others don't understand that the Jinxia and Xia countries are not good birds. The reason why these two countries help the small court of the Western Song Dynasty is not only to help themselves, but also to annex the territory of their Zhao and Song Dynasties. To be honest, Zhao Gou and the others clearly understand that the two fan countries of Jin Xia are also wolf ambitions.

What's more, Zhao Gou and the others are perfectly fine, first agree to it, and wait until they get through this difficulty, then tear up the treaty and continue to form an alliance with the Jinxia two countries.

In other words, Zhao Gou and the others also understood the simple truth that the covenant was to be torn up.

So Zhao Gou asked calmly: "What other conditions?" Obviously, Zhao Gou initially agreed to the first condition proposed by Li Cun.

This time, Wang Lun didn't sell Guanzi again, but said very happily: "My Majesty franchised the land of Sichuan and Shaanxi to King Kang as his fiefdom. From now on, the two families will be bounded by Dahe in the north, Wushan in the south, and east of Tongguan. It belongs to my Dagan, and His Majesty west of Tongguan bestows on you King Kang, and the two families will become a father-son country, I will be the father, and your family will be the son."

Although the country of father and son is obviously an insult to Zhao Gou, the division of the two borders proposed by the Dagan Dynasty made Zhao Gou very satisfied. After all, many territories allocated by Li Cun to the small imperial court of the Western Song Dynasty are still unavailable Under the control of the Gan army, in this case, it is not an exaggeration to say that Li Cun rewarded Zhao Gou with those territories.

In this way, if Zhao Gou really asked Li Cun to call him father, Zhao Gou would grit his teeth and yell, not to mention it was only in name. Throughout the ages, there have been too many such facts. It is really not bad for the small court of the Western Song Dynasty this one.

So Zhao Gou did not show any anger, and obviously acquiesced to this condition, and then asked in a very courteous manner: "May I ask the ambassador, is there any condition, Your Majesty?"

Wang Lun nodded: "There is the last one. This is the simplest one. Your Majesty only needs two families."
