Only then did Xu Xian realize that the official standing next to him was actually the prime minister of the dynasty.
"His Royal Highness King Jian!"
"Now the Emperor of Jin leads a million-strong army to conquer the Song Dynasty, just like the Empress Dowager Yelu of Liao led the Emperor of Liao to conquer the Song Dynasty more than a hundred years ago!"
"If Kou Zhun hadn't urged Emperor Zhenzong to go on a personal expedition and boosted morale at that time, I'm afraid the Song Dynasty would have been on the verge of national subjugation!"
"And what's the difference between Xu Xian's behavior today and Kou Zhun's behavior that day?"
"If the Holy One has given up on the Great Song Dynasty at this time, then who can still control Wang Kuanglan?"
"And Your Highness, as the heir appointed by His Majesty, do you also want to follow in the footsteps of Emperor Qinzong?"
Zhao Kangbo urged Jian Wang.
"But my father is currently on a tour to the south. If I go to ask my father to come back and preside over the fight against the Jin Dynasty, and my father refuses or deliberately delays it, then what will I do?"
"If I forcefully invite my father back, wouldn't that be an irresponsible act?"
King Jian seemed a little worried.
"Your Highness does not need to go personally to do this. I, Xu Xian, can go on your behalf!"
"If your Majesty is really busy with your southern tour and doesn't want to come back, then this is your chance, Your Highness!"
"Can't you just follow the example of Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty, who succeeded Lingwu to the throne in order to save the country?"
"When the time comes, as long as His Highness can personally lead the expedition in the name of the Emperor, I believe he will be able to resist the invasion of the Kingdom of Jin!"
Xu Xian knew that it was time for him to show off his talent.
"This...are you asking me to usurp the throne?"
"Xu Xian!"
"you……!"
"But why don't I want to conquer the golden thief myself?"
"Now, I am just a prince who handles government affairs on behalf of my father. What's the point of my own expedition?"
King Jian wanted to scold Xu Xian angrily, but he immediately held back and couldn't help but express his helplessness.
"Your Highness, this is the only plan for now!"
"Just imagine, if the Holy One is unwilling to come back to fight against the Jin Dynasty, you will be unable to come out and take charge of the overall situation!"
"When the Jin soldiers move south, Lin'an City will probably be the next Bianliang City!"
"For the sake of the people of Lin'an City and the country of the Song Dynasty, His Highness King Jian, you can no longer hesitate!"
"Do you really want to watch the Jin soldiers march south without doing anything?"
Xu Xian continued to advise.
"Your Highness!"
"What Xu Xian said is absolutely true!"
"This is the only way to save our Song Dynasty now!"
"Stop shrinking and hesitating!"
"Otherwise our Song Dynasty will face the disaster of national subjugation this time!"
Zhao Kangbo naturally understood King Jian's thoughts.
"That...okay then!"
"Xu Xian, please be my envoy and go to Jin to meet my father!"
"Don't talk nonsense like today. You need to be careful. Do you understand?"
After King Jian hesitated for a while, he made his decision.
"Thank you, His Majesty King Jian!"
"Xu Xian, I will definitely handle this matter for His Majesty King Jian!"
"If the Holy One can come back as soon as possible, then what Xu Xian just said is just drunken nonsense. If the Holy One deliberately delays and does not want to come back, I, Xu Xian, will surely be able to ask the Holy One to give you, King Jian, a name to go to war on behalf of the Emperor!"
"But His Majesty King Jian, you also need to make preparations in advance in Lin'an!"
Seeing that King Jian finally acquiesced, Xu Xian did not blame himself, and even accepted his fate as the envoy, so he couldn't help but feel happy secretly.
In fact, Xu Xian dared to give this advice to King Jian because Xu Xian knew that King Jian was the next generation of Mingjun Emperor Xiaozong. Since he could become a generation of Mingjun, King Jian must not be a pedantic person, and there was Zhao Kangbo next to him.
He was speaking for himself, which naturally gave Xu Xian more confidence.
"Whatever this king has discussed with you and others today, no matter whether it is successful or not, is not allowed to be publicized to anyone!"
"Do you understand?"
At this time, King Jian reminded Xu Xian, Zhao Kangbo and the eunuchs next to them.
After all three people agreed, King Jian stood up and prepared to leave.
"Your Highness, I know that you invited Xu Xian here today mainly for the safety of the Song Dynasty!"
"But Xu Xian still has something private to ask of you, Your Highness!"
Xu Xian suddenly remembered that he was still imprisoned in the tower by the White Snake, and immediately stopped King Jian.
"Private matter?"
King Jian was a little puzzled.
Xu Xian then told King Jian in detail about Fahai's kidnapping of his wife Bai Niangzi.
"So it's just such a small thing?"
"If you can invite my father to come back this time, I will plead with him and ask him to order Monk Fahai to let your wife go!"
"If my father is unwilling to return, if I can take care of his affairs at that time, I will personally issue an edict on my father's behalf and ask Fahai to let your wife go!"
"Anyway, no matter what the outcome is of your meeting with my father this time, your wife's affairs will be taken care of by me!"
After hearing this, King Jian showed a long-lost smile.
"Thank you, His Highness King Jian!"
"Your Highness!"
Xu Xian didn't expect King Jian to agree so readily, and couldn't help but feel secretly happy in his heart.
So after Xu Xian left the palace, he first visited his wife who was still locked in the tower, and then began to put on official robes and, as the envoy of the King, went to persuade the emperor Zhao Gou who was on a tour to the south.
Bianjing.
It was once the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, but after the Jingkang Disgrace, it was reduced to ruins. However, under the re-management of the Jin people, Bianjing has obviously begun to gradually regain its former glory.
After all, the Jin people worked so hard to manage Bianliang City with all their intentions. Their purpose was nothing more than to use this place as a basis to conquer the Song Dynasty in the south.
At this time, in Bianliang City, countless people were kneeling on the ground, all in ragged clothes, sweating profusely, and braving the scorching sun, as if they were waiting for someone to arrive.
Until the moment when the clothes of all the people kneeling on the ground were soaked, the gates of Bianliang City finally opened, and a luan chariot covered with gold, even the saddle was covered with gold and jade, drove into the city.
At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a gold jade felt hat, a yellow short robe, and long dreadlocks on his back was sitting on the Luan car.
After the Luan car reached the most crowded place in Bianliang City, it finally stopped.
"People of Bianliang City, I am Wan Yanliang, the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin!"
"You all get up!"
At this time, the people on the Luan chariot suddenly stood up and spoke to the people around them in less than standard Chinese.
"this…!"
"Is this man the current emperor of the Jin Kingdom?"
"Why does it come to our Bianliang City?"
"Is it true that the Emperor of Jin is moving his capital to Bianliang, as rumored?"
"If the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom really moves the capital to Bianliang City, won't Bianliang be like hell in the future?"
"From the humiliation of Jingkang to the present day, when did our city of Bianliang not act like a defense?"
Then the people kneeling on the ground suddenly started talking.
"Who said this Bianliang City is like hell? Catch him here!"
Wan Yanliang heard the whispers of the people not far away from him and was naturally a little unhappy.
After a while, dozens of people were brought to Wan Yanliang by Jin Bing.
"Were you just slandering our Kingdom of Jin?"
"Cut off all their tongues, drag them outside the city and bury them alive!"
Wan Yanliang had just arrived in Bianliang, so naturally he wanted to give some deterrence to the people of Bianliang first. This chapter has been completed!
