Zhao Huan also knew very well that if he wanted to strengthen his troops and fight the Jin people to the death, he must get the support of Zhao Ji.
Since it was a private discussion behind closed doors, Zhao Huan naturally wanted to seize this hard-won opportunity.
"The redemption of Kyushu is a done deal. Even if Your Majesty ignores the impact and immediately summons troops to escort the coins northward, it is already too late."
"I think that instead of taking advantage of the Jin people with these 920,000 Guansui coins, it is better to forge a tiger and wolf army."
"Yizhou is still under the control of the Song Dynasty. As long as we station troops in Yizhou, the Jin people will have to move their military center eastward!"
"Why should we defend wherever the Jinmen attack?"
"Just attack Yizhou fiercely!"
Hearing this, Zhao Ji snorted coldly, his eyes filled with contempt.
In his opinion, Zhao Huan was just a hot-blooded reckless man who knew nothing about military and national policies.
Otherwise, this traitor would not ruin his plans again and again.
"The Liao Dynasty is on the verge of subjugation, and all of China and Beijing has fallen into the hands of the Jin people."
"The Jin people have hoarded a large number of troops and horses in Zhongjing. With just one order, they can rush down from Taiyuan Road!"
"Even if we want to fight, we will still have to garrison troops in Taiyuan Mansion to defend it."
"You're such a traitor, you can only talk about war on paper, abandon Taiyuan and stick to Yizhou?"
"Yizhou faces Nanjing Road..."
Before Zhao Ji could finish speaking, Zhao Huan had already interrupted sharply: "What Nanjing! This is my Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, the homeland of China!"
Zhao Ji was stunned by a sudden roar.
Since Zhao Ji succeeded to the throne, this was the first time someone dared to yell at him in the imperial study room.
Even that tough guy Zhou Pu was just giving advice and would never be so rude.
Zhao Ji wanted to give orders several times, so he directly dragged Zhao Huan out and took him to Zongzheng Temple.
But……
When the words came to his lips, Zhao Ji swallowed them back alive.
After all, Zhao Huan is also the eldest son of the emperor, and he has won the support of righteous men from all over the world, Bianjing literati, and Queen Xiansu.
At the same time, he was also entangled with the Hanlin Academy and the Ministry of Rites.
Without reasonable charges, it is not easy to depose Zhao Huan.
Just when Zhao Ji's eyes were ferocious and his mind was already furious, Zhao Huan continued to add fuel to the fire, not giving Zhao Ji any chance to breathe.
"Isn't everything your Majesty did just to get back the remaining Kyushu?"
"Even though there are many discords between you and me as father and son, on this matter, our goals are highly consistent."
"As long as Your Majesty hands over the full power of Yizhou to my son, I will fight to the death to take back Yanyun Jiuzhou!"
"There has always been only competition for the country, there is no reason to be polite!"
Zhao Ji gritted his teeth, already wishing to cut this traitor into pieces.
But as Zhao Huan said, the done deal is done, and it is no longer realistic for the Song and Jin Dynasties to be harmonious.
Once the Jin people stormed Taiyuan Prefecture, how could they defeat the enemy?
Zhao Ji must be fully prepared...
The idea of finding someone to take the blame once again appeared in Zhao Ji's mind.
He flicked his long sleeves and turned his back, no longer willing to look at Zhao Huan again.
"I have already given you the Jiaofang Si, and also appointed you as the Supervisory Censor of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Instead of feeding you, your appetite is getting bigger and bigger."
"How can I trust someone as rebellious as you?"
If you want to get Zhao Ji's support, you must give him enough chips.
Zhao Huan had already had a strategy in mind, and this was the moment he had been waiting for.
"There are countless people in the world who have risen up and rebelled against the Party."
"There are also many rebels in Yizhou, and they are connected with Yizhou soldiers."
"Within ten days, if I can get 200 pills from you, the heads of the rebels will be placed in front of your majesty, and your majesty will hand over all the power of Yizhou to you."
"My son is responsible for strengthening his troops, building fortifications, clearing out the traitorous evildoers in Yizhou, attracting the Jin people, and shifting their military center of gravity to the south."
Zhao Ji didn't say anything, his thoughts were running very fast.
After a long time, Zhao Ji responded coldly.
"Okay! Just do as you say."
"I give you ten days!"
"In ten days, if I can bring back 200 rebel leaders, I will hand over all the command of Yizhou to you."
"If you fail, I will hold a ceremony to establish the crown prince and make you the crown prince."
Zhao Huan had long expected that sooner or later he would have to take the blame.
But time waits for no one. Without this huge gamble, it would undoubtedly be a fantasy for Zhao Huan to take over Yizhou step by step.
The Jin people would not give Zhao Huan any time to breathe.
“It’s a deal!”
"My son...resign!"
Zhao Huan bowed his hands and slowly stepped back. When he reached the door, he flicked his long sleeves and pushed the door open.
Outside the imperial study room, there were crowds of people.
From Tong Guan to officials from the six departments, they were all waiting outside.
Tong Guan had long heard the angry shouts of the father and son, and when he learned that Yizhou and the crown prince were making a bet, Tong Guan not only did not stop him, but he kept laughing ferociously.
"My lord, I am waiting for your amazing feat!"
"Hehehe, if you can succeed, even this old slave can vouch for you. No one in the world can compete with you for Yizhou."
The reason why Tong Guan is so confident is that Zhao Huan will definitely lose in this bet.
From Bianjing to Yizhou, even if we work hard and travel day and night, it will take five days to go back and forth.
In other words, Zhao Huan only had five days left to suppress the rebellion.
Want to behead 200 people in five days? What a joke!
Not only Tong Guan, but also the six court officials did not have any expectations for this bet.
"My prince has lived in Bianjing since he was a child. He doesn't know how brutal the battlefield is. How can he fight alone and kill two hundred enemies? I'm afraid it's a fantasy."
"Does Your Majesty know that if two armies confront each other and an army of tens of thousands fights for a day and a night, how many people can be killed?"
"You have no military power, so you went to Yizhou to fight. In just five days, you probably didn't even understand the terrain, right?"
"Hehehe, does the prince know... who is in Yizhou?"
"Gao Tuoshan, do you know this person?"
Of course Zhao Huan knew that since the Fangla Uprising, the most violent and largest uprising army was the "Victorious Army" headed by Zhang Di and Gao Tuoshan.
The Gao Tuoshan activities have reached Yizhou, which means that there will be a large number of rebels operating in Yizhou.
Zhao Huan, however, didn't care and didn't take Gao Tuoshan seriously at all: "Yizhou has long been rotten to the core. Even if it's a little worse, it won't make any difference."
"I not only made a huge bet with His Majesty, but also issued a military order."
"If you are so interested in this bet, why not make a bet with me?"
"Ten thousand taels of silver per person to lead the king's horse!"
The six court officials curled their lips, but no one said a word.
They would not foolishly fight for their lives against Zhao Huan, they would just watch the fire from the other side.
Tong Guan, who was on the side, said with a sinister smile: "Your Highness, hurry up. If you delay any longer, I'm afraid you won't even have enough time to travel."
"Old Nuqing is waiting for you to bring back two hundred thieves' heads."
"When I get to the Xiaoyuan Poetry Recital, I will sing your praises in person."
