This earth-shattering change shook the land.

Emperor Zhao Ji of the Song Kingdom fell into the hands of the Chinese Empire, which was easy to cause too many accidents, so one secret letter after another was transmitted to Changsha, the capital of the empire, and those who had been hidden here all surfaced and began to become active.

Whether it is the Song State, or the Jin State, the Western Xia, or the Joseon Kingdom, they all want to know the latest development of this matter, and they also want to know how the Emperor Li Nan will deal with the emperor of the Song State, and then make the most timely and correct response.

Li Nan did not go to see Huizong Zhao Ji first, but first ordered someone to 'invite' his old acquaintance, Cai You, a member of the Privy Council, in.

Speaking of which, a few years ago, Cai You was really an old friend of Li Nan and a noble person he needed to take the initiative to date, but now that the two meet again, they are no longer human.

Cai You walked into the Qianqing Palace in the palace, and when he saw Li Nanhou who was wearing a dragon robe and sitting on the top, he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "Sinner Cai You, meet the Holy Emperor." ”

"Hahaha......" Li Nanchang stood up with a smile, came to Cai You and helped him up.

Li Nan smiled and said: "Brother Ju'an, we are also old friends, you still have a friendship with me, even if I go to Lingnan, you will be very helpful to me, so you must not be so polite." ”

"Hehehe." Cai You looked at Li Nan, who had now become the king of a country, with an extremely complicated smile on his face, and followed Li Nan to the carved wooden chair on the side and sat down.

After several young and beautiful palace maids served fragrant tea, Cai You raised the teacup and dipped his lips, then humbly arched his hand and said: "The Chinese Empire is now strong and strong, and the country is rich and the people are safe." The status of the Holy One is so noble today, His Majesty calls the guilty minister his brother, which really makes the guilty minister sincerely afraid. ”

In fact, when he said these words, Cai You was also full of feelings in his heart.

When Li Nan first arrived in Tokyo City, he was just a small capital, and Cai You was the son of the prime minister and the favored minister of Zhao Ji of Huizong.

Unexpectedly, in less than ten years, Li Nan, a small person, actually rose from scratch and established a powerful country beyond the Song State, and now he has captured Emperor Zhao Ji and many courtiers.

Thinking of the current bad situation, Cai You, who didn't have much discipline, hurriedly sneered: "The Holy Lord captured Zhao Ji this time, I don't know what the plan is, but there is a place where the criminal minister needs to serve?" ”

Hearing this, Li Nan looked at Cai You and smiled with satisfaction, and today he first asked Cai You to talk, just because Li Nan knew this old man very well.

Cai You's father, Cai Jing, although he is very greedy, but he also has the ability to govern the world, otherwise he would not be able to take the position of prime minister and become an evergreen tree in the political arena of the Great Song Dynasty.

If compared with Cai Jing, Cai You is much worse, not only did he not think about dealing with government affairs during his tenure, but he only knew how to discuss the Taoist changes on the emperor's side, and acted in obscene dramas in the market to invite favors, and in recent years, he even turned against his father Cai Jing for the sake of power, and turned against each other.

Li Nan spent a huge amount of money in Tokyo City to buy the official position of the pacification envoy of Guangnan West Road from Cai Jing, and then established his own power.

Even if Li Nan had already shown his opposition on Guangnan West Road later, because the money sent was enough, Cai Jing and Cai You, father and son, still covered Li Nan in the early stage, and later sent a large amount of information about the Song State to Lingnan in an endless stream.

It can be said that if it weren't for the help given to Li Nan by Cai Jing's father and son in Tokyo City, the Chinese Empire would not have been established so quickly, and it would not have won several battles with the Song State, so from this point of view, the Cai family still made great contributions.

Now the situation is already obvious, Li Nan thinks that Cai You and Cai Jing, who are in his hands, will voluntarily do everything for the sake of their lives, families and wealth.

Looking at Cai You, Li Nan talked to him for a while, and then said with a smile: "I heard that there has been a great change in Tokyo not long ago, Huizong Zhao Ji has given up the throne, and now it is Qinzong Zhao Huan who succeeds to the throne. ”

All countries have elaborate lurking on the enemy, such as after Qinzong succeeded to the throne, a large number of counselors attacked the six thieves, and they couldn't hide anyone, so Cai You didn't refute it.

"Alas!" Cai You sighed faintly: "I think that dozens of sons and nephews of my Cai family, father and son of two generations have worked hard for the Great Song Dynasty, but I didn't expect to end up like this, it's really chilling!" ”

Li Nan put away the smile on his face and said to him in a deep voice: "Now the Song Kingdom has not only angered the Jin Kingdom because of the broken promise, but also ungrateful and hurt the hearts of my Chinese emperor and the people. Although I was reluctant to attack the Song Land of my homeland, I had no choice but to have the emotions of my subjects, and the general trend was irreparable, so I also asked Brother Ju An to make a plan for me and solve the misfortune of you and me. ”

Cai You has survived for many years in the darkest and most dangerous places in the world, officialdom and the palace, and has long exercised the ability to hear the meaning of words, so he instantly knew what Li Nan meant.

secretly scolded Li Nan in his heart for being too cunning, but now he is the king of a country, and thousands of people in his father and son family are already prisoners, so Cai You did not hesitate for long and made his own decision.

"Your Majesty, the criminal minister has something to say about this matter......

In the Qianqing Palace, Li Nan had a satisfied smile on his face, listening to Cai You's endless talk, and nodded his head in approval from time to time.

It wasn't until Cai You finished talking about his plan that Li Nan pretended to be embarrassed and said: "If I come forward, I'm afraid Zhao Ji will have resistance in his heart, how can this be good?" ”

Although he knew that Li Nan was pretending to be stupid, Cai You was still honest and said respectfully: "Your Majesty does not need to be embarrassed, the criminal minister guarantees that this matter will be handled properly." ”

"Oh?" Li Nan patted Cai You's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Then it will be more troublesome to live in peace, if this matter can be successfully completed, then not only will the two countries have no more swordsmen, but your Cai family will also make a great contribution!" ”

Cai You was overjoyed when he received Li Nan's verbal promise, and immediately knelt on the ground and said loudly: "For the benefit of all the people and Your Majesty, the ministers will do their best and die!" ”

After sending Cai You away, Li Nan then summoned Tong Guan, Zhang Quan, Wei Zhongda, He Dagui, Song Huan and other captured ministers of the Song State.

Since these people were able to give up everything and flee to Yangzhou for their lives and wealth because of the invasion of the Jin soldiers, it also means that their moral bottom line is extremely low, so they were all surrendered by Li Nan soon.

Originally, there was a heavyweight prisoner this time, that is, Gao Yu, the former lieutenant of the palace, but due to some old grievances, the person who met him was not Li Nan, but Lin Chong, who is now the general who commands the Royal Forest Group Army and was named a first-class duke.

Although a long time has passed since the old incident between Lin Chong and Gao Yanei, the son of Gao Yu, Li Nan knows that his brother still has anger in his heart.
