Chapter 229: Tricked

With the support of the main forces of the "Aguta faction" such as Zong Han and Zong Gan, Wan Yanyu finally succeeded in implementing his first reform plan, abolishing the 20-year-old system of Bo Ji Lie's auxiliary government. First, Zong Han was named Taibao, King of Jin, and was responsible for the affairs of the three provinces, and then Zong Gan was also named Taifu and jointly managed the affairs of the three provinces with Zong Han.

Zong Xuan inherited the position of the head of the family with his help, of course, he was also loyal to the emperor, full assistance, Wan Yan did not treat him badly, named him as the Taishi, and jointly participated in the management of the three provinces, the result of the reform of the administrative system of the Jin State was to replace the previous members of the Bo Ji Lie with the three divisions headed by Zong Han, Zong Gan, and Zong Pan to manage all the affairs of the Jin State.

Wan Yan Kang's first fire has burned very vigorously, almost burning some people to death, but this is the first step of Wan Yan Kang's reform plan, he is ready to burn a second bigger fire, but Wan Yan Kang's second fire must be solved before it can be lit - Zong Han.

Because in political struggles, there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests. Indeed, Zong Han played a very important role in the process of Wan Yan Kang's ascension to the throne, and Zong Han played a vital role in Wu Qimai's palace forcing operation five years ago, which can be said to have made the first contribution to Wan Yan Kang's ability to become a proficient ban. After Yan Kang succeeded to the throne, although Zong Han became the position of the Taibao leader of the three provinces as he wished, his power was under Zonggan and Zongpan, and he was actually ascending and descending secretly.

However, Zong Han has been fighting foreign wars for more than ten years, and has achieved brilliant results, and some generals in the same period either died of illness or died in battle, and his status and prestige have reached the peak of his personal career after Wu Qimai's death. What's even more terrifying is that he won the support of a group of Hanchen in the court, and his strength is enough to control the government. The phrase "high merit and high shock" is applicable to any emperor of any dynasty, don't read Yan Yan is just a teenager less than twenty. But he learned Chinese well, and he knew the meaning of this idiom very well. Because Comrade Zong Han has become the master of this idiom.

In order to deal with Zong Han, a dangerous person, Wan Yan decided to adopt the policy of sowing discord to deal with Zong Han. Comrade Zong Han is older because of his qualifications. offended many important ministers in the court, especially in the process of supporting Wan Yan Kang, he basically formed a deep hatred with Taizong and his family, and the two sides were incompatible. The young Wan Yan Kang discovered the contradiction between the two Taishi, and he decided to use this contradiction to achieve the purpose of "fighting with the snipe and the clam and profiting from the fisherman".

Zong Pan's ability is a notch lower than his father's, and he can't compare with his cousins such as Zong Han, Zong Wang, Zong Fu, and Wushu in terms of foreign warfare. Even in terms of the political struggle within the Jin country, the ability is quite poor. He didn't realize Yan Yan's perfect plan at all, but he was determined to have a life-and-death struggle with Zong Han.

However, Zong Han is also difficult to deal with, and it is almost impossible to catch Zong Han's Bing and knock Zong Han down with a stick. However, Comrade Zong Pan was very serious about the work of overthrowing Zong Han, and he adopted the most stupid method, that is, he sent intelligence personnel everywhere every day to look for and collect Zong Han's weaknesses and mistakes, and he did not believe that he could not catch the slightest mistake of him...

…………

The Jurchens took a trick to replace Zong Xuan back, which was not a good thing in Zhao Ta's view, and they fought a beautiful battle tactically, but in fact, they had lost strategically. At this time, there was no dictator in the country of Jin. There are no powerful ministers, but a group of heroes competing for the deer, and it is not enough to control the overall situation, and it is not the best time for reshuffle. However, Wan Yan was in a hurry to take power as soon as possible for his own selfishness, regardless of the current situation of the Jin State, and brought Zong Xuan back to the past to balance the interests of all parties, but it was the beginning of civil strife. And the Jin Kingdom is no longer in the era of the sky. I couldn't help but toss him.

Although Zhao Tan also knew that there were no generals in the Dao world, let alone a marshal who had no last resort. But it is inevitable that he will be depressed when he is put on the face by the 'hairy child', but he is a person who is good at turning bad things into good things. So in the negotiations with the Jin State, the Great Song Dynasty not only refuted the rude demands of the Jin envoys, but also the Jurchens had to bow their heads and send the captive clans and ministers back to China.

This made the whole country rejoice, thinking that the bravado of the golden envoy when Bianjing City broke is still vivid, but now he was forced by the emperor to bow to the Great Song Dynasty, which is really eyebrows. Although the 'Jingkang Emperor' was not among the ones to be sent back this time, everyone believed that the day of his return was not far off. When the convoy of the Beigui people entered the Nanxun Gate of the outer city, the people knelt on both sides of the road, and the citizens of the city heard the news and ran with the car to tell each other.

When the car of the 'former prince' Zhao Hui and the hearse carrying the queen passed by, the cry shook the sky. Sun Fu, who was accompanying the car, also burst into tears, and he had not forgotten the scene when the prince and the queen were escorted out of the city by the Jurchens in that cold winter, and the prince cried to the people who rushed to see him off: "The people save me!" The people save me! The shame was deeply engraved in his heart, but the result was caused by his incompetence, and the names of the martyred subjects engraved on the towering monument to the fall of Bianjing made his heart like a knife, and he was ashamed to die!

The car drove to the Suzaku Gate in the inner city, and the palace attendant read out the edict, because the new mansion has not yet been completed, let them temporarily live in the palace, and for those who returned to the country, the former sins were pardoned, and the family settlement fee was rewarded, and the appointment was made in the future, and the horse captain Cai Xun returned to the house to live and reunite with the husband and wife. The next day, the emperor set up a banquet in the palace to entertain the ministers who returned to the south, Sun Fu came forward to cry, and the king of Liao hugged the wheel and cried when the car set off, and asked the saint to redeem him in brotherhood, and it was enough to be the envoy of Taiyi Palace after returning to China!

Zhao Ta wept for a long time after hearing this, and said that he would do his best to welcome back the King of Liao, and if the peace agreement failed, he would transfer a large army to Liaodong and smash Huanglong. And he was worried about Yuwenxu in his heart, he wanted to add his name to the people who returned to the south and ask for it, but he said, 'The emperor will not return, he will not return', which made him look at these people who call themselves saints one by one, and his heart was filled with disgust...

Sure enough, as Zhao Ta estimated, with the return of Zong Xuan, Jin Guo's enthusiasm for peace negotiations began to fade, and he became lukewarm, thinking that the weather was hot and the rain was increasing, which was not suitable for starting a war, so he began to fight again. Zhao Ta could not lose face and lose the bottom, he ordered Zhao Yan to attack Linhuang Mansion on the grounds that the Jin State sabotaged the peace talks, and the Jurchens couldn't sit still, they were worried that Zhao Er's old tricks would be repeated to launch a large-scale attack on the Jin State again, and they hurriedly restarted the peace talks and asked the Southern Dynasty to strike the army.

Zhao Ren and Zhao Zhong, who were in Pingzhou, also felt very embarrassed, although they were no longer over, but the emperor's explanation was barely half done. So he also stepped up his efforts, and came up with strange tricks, asking his iron buddy Zhao Yong to help show off his strength in Pingzhou, and then inviting the two envoys of Jin to visit Pingzhou's city defense. But in a blink of an eye, his face changed again, and he sent troops to block the Jin State Mission, and wanted to follow the example of their seizure of the Great Song Dynasty Mission and keep them in the Great Song Dynasty.

False and real, true and false, Xi Gunai, the old oilman, was confused, and Zong Xian was even more shocked three times a day, and he even had to sleep with a knife. But the two of them couldn't be the master, so they could only report the situation to Jingshi 'truthfully', so that they could get out and return to China as soon as possible. At this time, Zong Han and Zong Gan, who were in charge of the government, also realized that with the current strength of the Jin State, they could not regain the lost territory, and the Great Song Dynasty could launch an attack on them at any time, so they agreed to temporarily demarcate the line of actual control, and the two sides were not allowed to cross the line without authorization.

Zong Han did not forget his old man Wanyan Xiyin, but he felt a little lost in exchange for an emperor, so he proposed to exchange Zhao Huan for the Song army to give up the land of Tanzhou, Lizhou and Jianzhou in the east of the Daling River. Zhao Ren reported the results to the emperor, and Zhao Ta and several rulers in the court thought that the land of the three states was lonely beyond the river, and it was very difficult to supply and defend, which could be exchanged for Zhao Huan to avoid future troubles, and it could improve prestige and morale, and it was worth compromising.

But just when Zhao Tan was preparing to 'compromise and seek perfection', news came from Pingzhou that Wan Yan had vetoed the proposal to exchange Zhao Huan for Wan Yan Xiyin. Zhao Tan, who had been tricked twice, was furious, and ordered the termination of the peace agreement between the two countries, the expulsion of the Jin delegation, and ordered the armies along the border to strictly control the border, cut off all official and civilian ties with the Jin State, and the navy drove to the coast of Liaodong to blockade the coast, and did not allow the Jin State to launch a piece of water.

Envoys were sent to Goguryeo, Western Xia, Tubo, and Uighur countries, warning them that they were not allowed to have any trade with the Jin state, and that if they violated, the Great Song Dynasty would expel their caravans, end all trade, regard them as enemy states, and not rule out the use of military means to solve the problem. At the same time, Zhao ordered Shangshu Province to issue a circular to all prefectures and counties across the country, exposing the conspiracy of the Jurchens to 'fake peace and prepare for war', their ambition to die and not die, and called on the military and people throughout the country to be vigilant and prepare for war to counter the invasion of the Jin State, once again showing the emperor's determination to go north against the Jurchens and welcome back the Liao king.

A series of measures were taken by the Great Song Dynasty, completing the military and economic blockade of the Jin State, which made its already difficult economy even worse and weakened its war potential once again. And Zhao Ta did not start a war, but lurked next to his prey like a leopard, waiting for Yan Yan's reforms to be implemented, coldly watching the resurgence of civil strife in Jin, and then giving him a fatal blow.

While the Great Song Dynasty was gradually calming down in the north, there were storms in the south. The Dongchuan Department of Dongchuan County of Dali State, the Shama Department of Jianchang Prefecture and the Mimo Department of Shicheng County opposed the autocracy and oppression of the Gao clan, raised the banner of the Qing monarch's side, and used Dongchuan County as a base to unite the surrounding departments to launch an uprising, wanting to break away from the autonomy of Dali. Because these three places are close to the border of the Great Song Dynasty, in order to prevent the flames of war from burning into the Great Song Dynasty, the emperor ordered the garrisons of Chengdu Road and Tongchuan Road to move closer to the border in case there is a change...
