Chapter 167: White Iron Forges Treacherous

After Gao Huaiyuan's explanation of this matter, these important ministers in the DPRK and China immediately turned to support Gao Huaiyuan and support the matter of sending grain to Jinguo, although some officials who were not at the level of the level expressed their incomprehension, but seeing that even ministers like Zhen Dexiu and Hong Zhikui did not object to this matter, they were still very energetic, so they could only arrange this matter with full of suspicion and complaints. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info and Gao Huaiyuan immediately recruited the golden envoy of the Song Dynasty, and replied to him after giving the seat: "This matter has been performed by the official on my pilgrimage, and after the mediation of the official, my majesty has agreed to open a moot field and sell grain to your country!"

Moreover, this official has also persuaded many officials of our dynasty to override public opinion, and also intends to sell weapons and armor to your country, as long as your country needs it, you can use silver money, silk silk, refined iron, copper and tin and other things to exchange for it, and we will supply these materials to your country openly! ”

The Jin envoy almost fainted with joy, and he couldn't imagine that the Song Dynasty suddenly changed his attitude, not only promised to sell them grain to the Jin country, but even promised to supply food openly, and even the weapons and armor used by the army were not stingy to sell to them, so the Jin envoy quickly knelt down in front of Gao Huaiyuan, thanked him again and again, repeatedly expressed his gratitude, and presented Gao Huaiyuan with a generous gift list, and then returned home with full joy, and rushed back to the Jin country to report this great news to the gold lord Wanyan Shouxu...

After hearing the news, the gold lord Wanyan Shouxu was also overjoyed, because their Jin country is really short of everything at the moment, not only in terms of food, because they have successively lost Hebei, Jingdong and other iron-producing regions, and they have to fight with the Mongolian army over the years, and they have lost more and won less, so that their army is about to be unable to match the armor, like this, not to mention that the Southern Song Dynasty gave them two years to recover, even if they don't talk about the north to restore the old land, can they just hold the Yellow River and keep the last place in Henan, Wanyan Shouxu is not at all sure. In fact, Gao Huaiyuan dug a super big pit for Wanyan Shouxu this time and asked Wanyan Shouxu to jump, that is, he instigated Wanyan Shouxu to force money from his courtiers, and when a country wants to force their ministers and even the landlords of the country's superstructure to pay, basically the country is not far from death.

Because the Jin Kingdom is supported by these people, Wanyan Shouxu forced these princes and nobles to take money so much, the first time it was easy to say, everyone came out, but after Wanyan Shouxu ate the sweetness, what next? He will continue to force these people to take the money, and if they can't get it, they will raid their homes and behead them, so that the hearts of the people of the Jin country will be scattered, and in the end the money will still fall into the hands of the Song people, and Wanyan Shouxu will eventually lose the hearts of the people, which will accelerate the demise of the Jin country...

This is like drinking a donkey to quench your thirst, knowing that it is a chronic poison, but in order to quench your thirst, you have to drink until you are completely ill and incurable, and Jin Guo is also in this situation right now, there is no way to retreat Even if you know that this is a big pit, Wanyan Shouxu must jump into it, what is the result? At that time, it can only be cheapened for nothing.

After the two sides negotiated the conditions, under an imperial edict from the DPRK and China, the Southern Song Dynasty immediately opened three large moad farms east of Chang'an on Qinfeng Road, Tangzhou where Jingxi Road and Jin State were handed over, and Xuzhou in Jingdong, and transported grain in large quantities to these three places by water and drought roads from Liangzhejiang, Fujian, Jinghu, Hubei, Sichuan, etc., and transferred the tattered armor recovered from the military weapons of the Zhulu army that had not yet been destroyed to these three dagger yards for the Jin State to buy with money.

Fortunately, in recent years, most of the places in the Southern Song Dynasty have been smooth, except for a few earthquakes, there have been no major floods, plus Gao Huaiyuan has been in power in the past two or three years, and Zhen Dexiu is in charge of state affairs, so under the rule of the officials, the domestic situation is developing in a better and better direction, and the local treasury is full, and the problem of allocating grain and grass will not make them embarrassed. As for whether the Jin State can afford to buy so many things, it is not a problem, if you can afford it, you can sell it to them, and if you can't afford it, you will reserve a large number of them in these three places, and then transfer it to the state capital close to the Jin State to reserve it as a strategic reserve for the battle of the Northern Recovery of the Central Plains in the future.

And this matter was still supported by the main ministers of the DPRK and China, and it could be justifiably done, once this matter was launched, the flood and drought traffic in the Southern Song Dynasty became busy, and a large number of strategic materials began to be transferred north, and gradually gathered in the strategic places controlled by the Song army, and began to make real preparations for the Northern Expedition. . .

After finishing this matter, Gao Huaiyuan finally settled down for a while, and in May of the fourth year of Shaoding, the court once again issued an edict to the world, announcing that he would once again take away all the fame of Qin Hui, and once again gave Qin Hui a nickname, that is, Miao Chou.

When Han Yanxuan was in power, in order to make meritorious contributions to himself, he considered preparing for the Northern Expedition, in order to win the support of the people of the world, he once took away Qin Hui's fame, and gave Qin Hui a nickname of Miao Chou, but later after Shi Miyuan came to power, he represented the interests of the Lord and the faction, so he restored all the fame of Qin Hui of the surrender faction, and re-established the ancestral hall to commemorate Qin Hui's so-called merits.

When Gao Huaiyuan met Yue Kun in the tomb of King Yue, he once said that one day he must make a few kneeling statues of traitors in front of King Yue's tomb with white iron, and this matter has always been remembered in his heart...

But over the years, Gao Huaiyuan has been running around, almost unable to spare a little time, so that this matter has dragged on, and now Gao Huaiyuan has finally taken control of the situation, and the people's hearts are also inclined to the north to restore the Central Plains, and he finally took out some free time, so this matter was brought up again. After discussing with the courtiers, Gao Huaiyuan issued an edict in the name of Zhao Yun to once again deprive Qin Hui of all his fame, and once again gave him the title of Miao Chou, and at the same time deprived Zhang Jun of all his fame, and even left him with a nickname, and that Wan Qiao was also robbed of all his fame, and then ordered to convene the skilled craftsmen of the Southern Song Dynasty to find out the portraits of Qin Hui, Wang, Zhang Jun, and Wan Qian before his death, and set aside the life iron to gather skilled craftsmen according to their appearance during their lifetimes. After opening the mold and staking out the samples to Gao Huaiyuan for personal review and confirmation, four kneeling statues that were tied upside down were cast. . .

As soon as the news of this incident came out, Lin'an City was suddenly in an uproar, but the vast majority of people were applauding for this matter, especially when they heard the news that the kneeling statues of the four thieves had been cast, countless people poured into the streets to watch the kneeling statues of these four people.

In order to expand the momentum, Gao Huaiyuan also ordered to pull up the kneeling statues of these four people in a cart and parade them in Lin'an City for three days.

Gao Huaiyuan even went to the palace to invite Zhao Yun, held a very grand memorial ceremony in front of the tomb of King Yue, and even invited Yue Fei's descendants to Lin'an City to participate in the memorial ceremony in person, Gao Huaiyuan also led hundreds of civil and military officials to worship in front of the tomb of King Yue...

Although it is impossible for ordinary people to participate in this grand memorial ceremony in front of King Yue's tomb, the big guy still meets to stand far away from the cordon to take a look, in order to worship the martyr of the Southern Song Dynasty.

At this time, the tomb of King Yue has been renovated by Gao Huaiyuan, and the scale has expanded several times again, and he has personally paid for the selection of good white marble to repair the cemetery of King Yue, and planted cedar, whitebark pine, magnolia and other solemn trees around the tomb of King Yue, and on the day of the memorial ceremony, the tomb of King Yue is full of flowers, making the tomb of King Yue more and more solemn and grand.

Four kneeling statues of traitors cast in white iron have also been wiped again, a row of kneeling in front of the tomb of King Yue, Gao Huaiyuan also carved a couplet copied by Gao Huaiyuan from later generations on the door post of the tomb behind the kneeling statue. . .

"Qingshan is fortunate to bury the bones of loyalty, and the white iron innocently casts traitors" and Gao Huaiyuan also asked Zhao Yun to personally inscribe four gilded characters on the door, "Loyal to the country"

After everyone saw this couplet, they all praised it again and again, they didn't expect Gao Huaiyuan to have such a hand and write such a neat couplet.

And although Zhao Yun was dressed neatly and led hundreds of civil and military officials to come here to pay tribute to King Yue, he was not happy in his heart, he did not deny that Yue Fei was a loyal martyr, but this matter was originally supposed to be done by him, but now he let Gao Huaiyuan do it, and in his eyes, Gao Huaiyuan can't be compared with Yue Fei at all, Gao Huaiyuan is the biggest traitor in the world, otherwise, how could he be a great Song emperor, how could he be robbed of his rights by Gao Huaiyuan and become a puppet in the palace?

But whether he is happy or not, he has to come here to participate in this memorial according to Gao Huaiyuan's arrangement, and the procedure of this public sacrifice to the tomb of King Yue is also solemn, Zhen Dexiu personally officiated, and personally wrote a thousand words of sacrifice, recited in front of the tomb of King Yue...

Gao Huaiyuan led hundreds of officials to kneel in front of the tomb of King Yue and kowtow, and silently recited in his heart: "Lord Yue! If you have knowledge, just accept the small piece of heart! I know that it can't be compared with your morality, but I also hope to do something for the rejuvenation of this nation and this country!

I Gao also know that treating the emperor like this is a rebellious move in the eyes of many people, but for the sake of this nation, I can only make this decision, otherwise, I, Gao, is also likely to be like you, become a traitor under the knife, I can't compare to your conduct, I can only protect myself by any means, only in this way, I can do more!

Please don't laugh at me under the Nine Springs! ”

Yue Kun was still busy with the annexation of Tibet, and could not spare time to return to Beijing to participate in this grand memorial, but many descendants of the Yue family came to the capital, one by one, full of tears, and even crying silently kneeling in front of the tomb of King Yue to worship their ancestors.

The traitors were finally firmly nailed to the pillar of shame, and the traitors who killed their ancestors back then finally returned to their homes and knelt in front of the tomb of Yue Fei, whom they had unjustly killed.

This made everyone in the Yue family feel grateful to Gao Huaiyuan, but they did not thank Gao Huaiyuan, but went to kneel to Zhao Yun to thank the emperor.

Zhao Yun's face was pale, and after lightly accepting the kneeling thanks of the Yue family, he took the first step back to the palace on the grounds of physical discomfort.

After Gao Huaiyuan and other civil and military officials sent Zhao Yun away, they went to the tomb of Yue Yun, the tomb of Zhang Xian and the tomb of Niu Gao, and solemnly paid homage to these heroes.

This matter was later greatly exaggerated by the people's newspaper, in order to calm the domestic complaints about the imperial court to the Jin State of grain, and also made Gao Huaiyuan's image in the minds of the people much higher, the common people put Gao Huaiyuan and Yue Fei on par, most people think that only Gao Huaiyuan in the world can really rejuvenate the Great Song Dynasty and recover a hundred years of lost land for the country.
