79. Cutting gold and rebelling against Song Dynasty
"Hmph, this Tatar emperor actually wants to use the jade seal inherited from us Han people in the Central Plains to prove that he is orthodox!"
"Don't they know that the Tatars will never be recognized by us Han people in the Central Plains?"
"How ridiculous...!"
"That's ridiculous...!"
Lu You first spoke his mind.
"yes!"
"I didn't expect that starting from the traitorous emperor Shi Jingtang, the Central Plains Dynasty was no longer an orthodox dynasty with a national jade seal!"
"This Shi Jingtang is really off to a good start!"
Han Yanzhi couldn't help but said.
"is not that right?"
"Shi Jingtang betrayed the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun to the Khitans, which was originally unpopular!"
"I guess God is just waiting for someone who can regain the Sixteenth State of Yanyun to appear, and is waiting to hand this jade seal passed down to him!"
"Otherwise, why would the Song Dynasty not have this national jade seal in the past two hundred years since its founding?"
"Obviously because Zhao Song failed to regain the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, God does not agree with the legitimacy of Zhao Song's throne, so this imperial seal would rather be in the hands of the Tatar Emperor than Zhao Song!"
"Now that the Imperial Seal is in your hands, Marshal Xu, you must cherish the opportunity God has given you and recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun for us Han people in the Central Plains!"
Lu You continued.
"yes!"
"Commander, you should make this national jade seal public at this moment and tell the reasons for it to the people of the world!"
"In this way, the Han people in the world will know that you are the real son of destiny!"
"And Zhao and Song are just stealing the country and living in an ignoble way. They will definitely be opposed by all the Han people in the world!"
"Anyway, that foolish king will attack you, the commander-in-chief, sooner or later. You will rebel against Zhao and Song sooner or later, won't you be able to rebel sooner or later?"
"And you have to wait until the Hunjun joins forces with the Tatars to deal with you before you are forced to rebel against the Song Dynasty?"
"It was already too late by then!"
"Now that you have this national jade seal, you are the legitimate son of destiny!"
"Furthermore, Marshal, your banner is to expel the Tatars from the Jin Kingdom, which is a just and awe-inspiring act!"
"On the other hand, the royal family of Zhao and Song Dynasties secretly colluded with the Tatars and sold out the territory of the Central Plains. Can such treasonous actions win the hearts of the people?"
"So now, those who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world. Zhao Song has already lost the hearts of the people, but Commander, you will definitely win the hearts of the people!"
Xin Qiji suddenly suggested this.
"good!"
"Since things have come to this, I can only take out this national jade seal in front of the people of the world!"
After Xin Qiji's persuasion, Xu Xian understood that he could no longer bear it at this time and it was time to raise the banner of opposing the Song Dynasty and destroying the Jin Dynasty.
So Xu Xian ordered people to build a high platform in Luoyang City, and then asked people to privately spread the news that he had obtained the national jade seal from the Luo River, which had been lost for more than two hundred years since the death of Li Congke in the later Tang Dynasty.
Use this to start building momentum for yourself and prepare for the upcoming anti-Song Dynasty.
Of course, Xu Xian also sent someone to deliver a memorial to Emperor Zhao Gou at this time.
"What?"
"This Xu Xian actually asked me to make him a prince?"
"In the nearly two hundred years since the founding of the Song Dynasty, has there ever been any talk of a person of the opposite sex being granted the title of prince?"
"This Xu Xian is simply treasonous!"
"Thinking that you have captured Bianjing and Luoyang is even more arrogant!"
"You simply don't take me seriously!"
Zhao Gou was so angry that he tore the memorial submitted by Xu Xian's order into several pieces.
"Your Majesty!"
"Calm down your anger, calm down!"
"Didn't you already send someone to contact the new Tatar emperor Wanyan Yong?"
"As long as the new Tatar emperor agrees to help us exterminate the rebel Xu Xian, you can immediately name Xu Xian the rebel!"
"Why do you care whether it wants to be crowned king or not?"
Monk Fahai reminded him.
"I also want to get a reply from the Tatar Emperor as soon as possible!"
"But Ye Yiwen went to Yanjing, and no news has come back yet!"
“I don’t even know what the Tatar Emperor means!”
Zhao Gou looked helpless.
"Since Yanjing hasn't sent back the news yet, it must be that the Tatar Emperor is dissatisfied with the conditions we gave!"
"Why don't you add the condition of giving the Tatars some gold, silk and silver every year? Maybe the Tatar Emperor will soon agree to help us exterminate the rebel Xu Xian!"
Monk Fahai suggested again.
"But...the price is too high!"
"It's better that I send my own troops to exterminate the rebel Xu Xian!"
Of course Zhao Gou couldn't bear to part with gold and silver.
"Your Majesty, Xu Xian's power is no longer what it used to be. If you send people to destroy it at this time, even if it is destroyed, our vitality will be greatly damaged in the end!"
"Then if the Tatars move south, what can we do to resist them?"
"Have you forgotten the Jingkang crisis?"
"At that time, wasn't it because your late emperor listened to the slander and wanted to regain the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and offended the Tatars of the Jin Kingdom, which led to the destruction of Bianjing City, and your father and emperor were kidnapped to the north and tortured
Gone!"
"Have you forgotten such a painful lesson?"
"So in order to prevent the Tatars from invading the south again in the future, we should now establish good relations with the Tatars in advance and give land and money to the Tatars in advance, so that the Tatars will not have sufficient reasons to invade the Song Dynasty from the south again.
!”
Fahai persuaded.
"National Master, are you going too far?"
"How can you speak such words of national subjugation in such a high-sounding way before our Holy Father?"
"If we want the Tatars not to invade our Song Dynasty, the best way is to strengthen ourselves and unite instead of fighting among ourselves!"
"How is your behavior of selling land and wealth to deal with Xu Xian, who is bent on driving away the Tartars, different from that of the former son-emperor Shi Jingtang?"
Zhao Kangbo suddenly couldn't help but speak.
"Chen Kangbo, in recognition of your loyalty to our Zhao family and your contributions to the court over the years, I gave you the imperial surname Zhao. Instead of thinking about me, you are accusing me here. What do you want?"
Zhao Gou was naturally very unhappy when he saw Zhao Kangbo mocking him as Shi Jingtang.
"Your Majesty!"
"Honesty is hard to hear, but I, Zhao Kangbo, have to say it!"
"This Xu Xian is not really anti-Song Dynasty, everything was forced by you, the Holy One!"
"If Your Majesty is determined to restore the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains and fully support Xu Xian, why are you trying to force Xu Xian to rebel now?"
"Also, Your Majesty, you may not know that rumors have spread outside the city!"
"It is said that Xu Xian has obtained the jade seal that has been lost for more than two hundred years, and he is the man of destiny...!"
"This...if this news is true, your empire...the empire of the Song Dynasty...I'm afraid...I'm afraid it's really in danger!"
Zhao Kangbo seems to be bolder.
"What did you say?"
"Xu Xian got the imperial seal?"
"Isn't this imperial seal in my palace?"
"And the imperial seal in my hand was obtained by Zhang Bangchang from my imperial brother and passed down to me!"
"Did someone steal the imperial seal from my palace?"
"Someone is coming!"
"Go and get the imperial seal for me immediately!"
"I want to show you what the real jade seal of the country is!"
Zhao Gou naturally thought that Xu Xian had forged the imperial seal, and wanted to show his real one to everyone.
