In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 174 What Are You Waiting For, Your Majesty?
Zhao Yurui mentioned a few more things at the end. One is to confer the title of his original mother, Quan's family, as Mrs. Minde, and to posthumously confer the title of his biological father, Zhao Xiyu, as King Rong. Hou, there are [-] households in Shiyi, and [-] households in Shishi.

Cousin Quan Yong entered Wukanghou, with [-] households in Shiyi and [-] households in Shishi.

As mentioned earlier, after the peace talks in Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, the defenders in various places, such as Zhenjiang Mansion, Jiankang Mansion, and Chizhou, were called the Imperial Army, also known as the Garrison Army.

The strength of the troops stationed in various places is different. For example, there are many near the front line and Kyoto in the two Zhejiang provinces and the northwest.

Xinzhou was an important mine-producing area in the Southern Song Dynasty, and was also responsible for making coins, so there was a left army stationed there with a staff of 800 people, but actually there were only less than 800 people.

Quan Yong hanged up as a lieutenant general, and basically didn't go to the barracks, but stayed in the mine.

Of course, Shi Miyuan didn't know about these little things, and he wasn't interested in paying attention to them. What he noticed was that Zhao Yurui was more nostalgic. The former Widow Xu was still concubine, and the former uncles, cousins, mothers and elder brothers all had to be rewarded.

Nostalgic people, of course it is good.

Shi Miyuan agreed to everything, and he recognized Zhao Yurui very much in his heart.

Zhao Yurui said again that Zhendexiu can be revived, let him know Quanzhou again, and promote Quanzhou Shipping Department.

Shi Miyuan turned pale with shock, and asked, Zhendexiu was the one who impeached you.

Zhao and Rui said, discuss the matter as it stands, each is his own master, Zhen Dexiu has a good way of making money, Quanzhou Shipbuilding Department has done a good job, this kind of minister should be placed in a useful position, let him work in Quanzhou until retirement, and help the court Making money is. (In other words, as long as he is not allowed to return to Beijing.)
Shi Miyuan couldn't help looking at Zhao Yurui with admiration, and suddenly felt that Zhao Yurui was very gracious and tolerant.

On the fifth day of October, the imperial court reactivated Zhen Dexiu, the court was shocked, and everyone admired the new emperor Zhao Yurui in private.

Next, the court made every effort to prepare for Zhao and Rui's marriage. Every time Zhao and Rui went to court, they basically didn't care about things, and they seldom talked.

The upright courtiers were disappointed with the new emperor, but Shi Miyuan became more and more at ease with him.

Outside the imperial court, Jin Guo's attempt to form an alliance with the Southern Song Dynasty was unanimously opposed by the officials of the Southern Song Dynasty.

On the eighth day of October, Qiao Xingjian, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Secretary of the Imperial Academy, editor of the Academy of National History, and reviewer of the Academy of Records, wrote a letter saying: "The strong Tartars are gradually rising, and their power is enough to destroy gold. My hatred in the past is also my cover today. .The ancients have lost their lips and their teeth are cold, but it can be reversed. Yigu and coins make people reject Tartars."

Qiao Xingjian has seen the strength and ambition of Mongolia, and he strongly supports the alliance with Jin to fight against Mongolia. He even said that if Jin can be allowed to take the lead, even if he continues to pay the old coins, the court should let the Jin take the front , Make peace with Jin, trade with Jin, support Jin, and then get a chance to develop.

Qiao Xingjian is quite bold. He proposes to continue the old coin Jin Guo, as a barrier, and fully supports Jin Guoding's strategy of attacking Mongolia in the front, and the Song Dynasty continues to develop later. In conscience, whether Qiao Xingjian's strategy was used in the original history, The Southern Song Dynasty had to perish because the emperor couldn't do it.

But now if Zhao and Rui can have the final say, this is really one of the current methods.

So Qiao Xingjian wanted to write a letter to Emperor Zhao Yurui, but was directly detained by Shi Miyuan.

Then the whole Lin'an City knew about it, and there was an uproar in the court.

At that time, because the Jin soldiers went south and captured the two emperors of Huiqin and returned to the north, the entire court, including the royal family, was looted.The Song people hated the Jin people deeply. Although the Song Dynasty had been impoverished and weak for many years, the calls for regaining the lost land and avenging the world never stopped.

Most civil and military officials in the imperial court believed that the royal family had been captured, their wealth was robbed, and their land was occupied. Now that they were able to settle in the southeast corner, they had a sworn feud with the state of Jin.

At the end of October, "All the students of the Taixue, Huang Ziran, Huang Hong, Zhou Datong, Jia Yan, Xu Shilong, etc., came to Fuli's main gate, please cut (Qiao) the Jane to thank the world."

Of course Qiao Xingjian was not beheaded, but the alliance peace talks with Jin Guo completely failed.

The Jin envoy Xu Ding stayed in Lin'an for more than a month. He failed to ask to see the emperor many times, and was rejected by the officials of the Southern Song Dynasty everywhere, and finally left sadly.

When Xu Ding left Lin'an, his face was very ugly, because he was seriously ill before he came, and Yuan Shi died this year.

The weather in Lin'an was gloomy and the autumn wind was blowing that day.

Standing on the shore, Xu Ding looked at the rich and prosperous Lin'an City, coughed a few times, suddenly, wow, he stretched out his hand to block it with a handkerchief, and when he opened the handkerchief, it was already full of blood.

"Mr. Yingying." The attendants all around stepped forward, accompanying Dali Temple Minister Pei Manqinfu. He went to Xixia to discuss peace before and returned with a full load. He did not expect that this trip to the Southern Song Dynasty would encounter such a big setback.

When they lived in the embassy, ​​scholars from the Southern Song Dynasty came to shout every day, asking the court to kill the Jin envoy, which shows how much the Song people hated them.

"Don't be angry, Duke of England. We have done our best. If the Southern Song Dynasty refused to form an alliance, His Majesty will not blame us." Pei Manqinfu persuaded.

Xu Ding was filled with grief and indignation: "The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, such a simple truth, no one in the Song Dynasty dared to say it—"

"With the current situation, there are rebels inside and enemies outside. If we can't form an alliance with Song Dynasty, the foundation of the country's century-old accumulation, and the life of hundreds of millions of people in Heshuo, it won't be long—" He vomited blood again and fell into a coma on the spot .

All the gold envoys hurriedly carried him to the boat, and sent people to find the Song Dynasty doctors. Unexpectedly, they heard that the gold envoy was sick, and no one in Lin'an City dared to come and refused to treat him.

The gold envoys could only take him back to the ship and hurried back to the country, but he died on the way.

Xu Ding's body was transported back to Bianjing, and the attendants complained about how rude the Song people were. Wanyan Shouxu was furious, thinking that the Song people had humiliated Xu Ding, and the Jin-Song alliance had completely failed.
-
The card room of Lin'an City Group Music Hall used to be the big yard of Qin Zhuo's family, but after renovation, it became the largest card room in Lin'an.

The poker room has been in operation for more than two years and has made a lot of money for Zhao and Rui.

Over the past two years, more and more people are playing billiards, because Zhao Yurui has started to cut prices, and it has become an entertainment that ordinary people can afford.

There are more and more people playing mahjong, and some people even privately make mahjong at home. As long as no one reports it, usually nothing will happen. Naturally, Zhao and Rui can't control it, so they just turn a blind eye. , as long as there is no mahjong parlor outside.

When Xu Ding left Lin'an City, Zhao Yurui came to the Qunle Academy in plain clothes.

Qin Zhuo had been waiting for him in the room long ago, and there were two young men, Yan Ying and Qin Chen, on the scene.

Yan Ying is currently the eighth-rank Fengyilang, and he is dispatched by the ship secretary of Liangzhe City. Qin Chen is the seventh-rank Chengyilang, and is sent by the Qingyuan Mansion Sihu to join the army. Both of them are civil servants. In addition, Yan Ying's A younger sister was already married to Qin Chen, and the two became in-laws.

Both of them were promoted after Zhao Yurui became the emperor, and because they were dispatched in Qingyuan Mansion, Shi Miyuan readily agreed.

At that time, Zhao Yurui still wanted to play Qin Zhuo as an official as the emperor, but after thinking about it, he held back for the time being.

Qin Zhuo had a very bad impression in Shi Miyuan's mind. Zhao Yurui and Qin Zhuo were doing business together, and Shi Miyuan was unhappy, so he decided to endure it for the time being.

At present, Zhao and Rui's major affairs, except for Yang Yuehu, the Secretary of the Imperial City, only dare to discuss with these three people first.

"Chaozhong Qiao Xingjian, Zhendexiu, Deng Ruoshui, Chen Guiyi, Chen Guiqian, etc., can all be used." Qin Zhuo said immediately when he saw the emperor.

Most of the people he mentioned were targeted by Shi Miyuan, among them Chen Zhongyi and Chen Guiqian were brothers.

Needless to say, Zhen Dexiu was demoted to his home, and it was Zhao Yurui who reactivated them and said that they would be placed in Quanzhou forever, so Lao Shi agreed.

Because Qiao Xingjian wanted to contact Jin Kangmeng, many people stood up and knelt in front of Lizheng gate, asking the emperor to cut Qiao Xingjian, probably because of the old Shi's instruction.

Deng Ruoshui took the Jinshi examination in June of the 13th year of Jiading (1220), and in his countermeasures, he discussed Shi Miyuan's treachery and evil. Please stop Miyuan and don't be a good minister.As a result, the examiner placed Ruoshui in the last class.However, his words spread in Lin'an, and the scholars rushed to recite them.Shi Miyuan was furious and wanted to blame Ruoshui, but was stopped.

When Chen Guiyi was a doctor of Taixue, he wrote a letter to discuss politics, asking the emperor to share weal and woe with the people.Pointing out that the treacherous and evil court is now in power (alluding to Shi Miyuan), the people complained, and people's hearts were scattered. Shi Miyuan was furious again and changed him to a primary school professor.

Chen Guiyi continued to file letters, and Shi Miyuan directly arranged for Li Zhixiao to be impeached and dismissed from office.

Chen Guiqian is an official of the Ministry of Rites. Because his younger brother offended Shi Miyuan, he was not promoted for ten years and remained where he was.

Qin Zhuo reported a lot of names to Zhao Yurui as soon as he came up, most of them were upright officials who were out of power in the court, most of them had offended Shi Miyuan, some were given idle gifts, some were dismissed, and some had been for more than ten years. Cannot be promoted.

After Zhao Yurui finished listening, she quietly thought about it.

"The matter on Jeju Island is getting bigger and bigger. If it continues like this, sooner or later it will attract the attention of the imperial court and Shi Miyuan."

Their business in Jeju Island is getting bigger and bigger. Although it is fully militarized and the whole island is closed, who can guarantee that no news will be disclosed.

The Yan family of Four Seas Trading and Wei Wang Zhao Yurui have such a good relationship. It is rumored that they are doing business together.

Therefore, Zhao Yurui believed that they had to seize power as soon as possible and could not wait any longer.

From a historical point of view, Shi Miyuan, whether he killed Han Wuzhou or abolished Zhao Mian, did it very well. He made a decision before making a move, and did not give the other party any hope of turning things around.

Once Shi Miyuan discovers his ambition, Shi Miyuan is likely to act in advance.

"Is it useful to kill Shi Miyuan directly?" Qin Xiaopang Qin Chen said at this time: "Didn't Shi Miyuan just kill Han Xiang to solve the problem?"

Old Han was the number one minister in power back then, but after being killed by Lao Shi, his power immediately fell.

Zhao Yurui and Qin Zhuo shook their heads at the same time: "This is different. Back then, Shi Miyuan had Empress Yang's support, and the military Xia Zhen also supported him."

So after killing Lao Han, the group of people under Lao Han were useless, and immediately the trees fell and the monkeys scattered.

Now Shi Miyuan and Empress Dowager Yang, Xia Zhen still have one heart, and if he wants to do it, he will kill these three at the same time.

But both Old Shi and Empress Dowager Yang were good to Zhao Yurui, and Xia Zhen also helped Zhao Yurui during the August palace change.

Zhao Yurui's ideal plan is to seize power without killing people.

However, he is not the Holy Mother. When necessary, for the sake of the throne and power, even his benefactor, Lao Shi, has no sympathy.

In the struggle for the throne throughout the ages, either you die or I live.

Lao Shi praised him for his position because he felt that he was easy to control.

Once he is unwilling to be controlled, Lao Shi will not hesitate to abolish him.

"What are you waiting for, Your Majesty?" Qin Zhuo asked at this moment.

He knew that Zhao Yurui was already preparing, and the preparation was almost the same, but he didn't know when Zhao Yurui would do it.

Zhao Yurui said in a deep voice, "Waiting for the right time."

"Don't worry, it won't be long, we don't need to talk quietly here."

Bang, at the end, Zhao Yurui patted the arm of the chair heavily, and said sharply: "I am the son of heaven, rich in the world, how can I be like a mouse, hiding when I talk to my confidants and servants."
