The Jin people were all born in the bitter cold areas of the north and could not bear the heat of the south.
They usually go south when autumn is high and the horses are fat, fight in winter, and return north when the weather gets hotter.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Jin people seem to be retreating this time, but in fact they will definitely go south again in the autumn a few months later.
Since Wanyan Agu started his army here in the Jin Kingdom, a large-scale invasion has been launched every year.
Before, we were attacking the Liao Kingdom, and now we are attacking the Song Kingdom.
They will never stop just because they got the gold and silver and got the promise to cede the three lands.
On the contrary, Song's wealth and cowardice only stimulated them to kill and plunder even more crazily.
Before that, the internal problems of Da Ting must be resolved first, and all forces must be gathered to deal with the Jin Bing's move south again.
This thing is very difficult, but no matter how difficult it is, you have to do it.
Li Yunze has rich experience in seizing power.
His first breakthrough point was Zhao Huan's heart knot.
As the saying goes, there are no two days in the sky and no two kings in the country.
But there are really two big cowards nowadays.
Zhao Ji didn't give up the throne because of his death, but he was afraid of being scolded too much, so he passed the blame and let Zhao Huan take the blame.
Now that the Jin people have retreated, Zhao Ji will definitely come back.
When the two emperors get together, they will inevitably fight for power.
No one understands the emperor better than Li Yunze. As long as he ascends to this position, no one will be willing to give up the power in his hands.
Moreover, both Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan were surrounded by a group of people who took advantage of the situation. Needless to say, it was clear that it would be a fierce fight.
Li Yunze's choice was simple, take the initiative to help Zhao Huan.
Because Zhao Huan's power is weaker, he can give more.
Returning to Prince Kang's Mansion, Princess Xing led everyone in the mansion to greet her, and all the girls had tears on their faces.
"Shut up, everyone."
Li Yunze waved his hand, "Everyone is back, why are you crying? Arrange Tang Mu, I want to eat."
The former Prince Kang's Mansion was filled with misery and misery. After all, there were rumors in the streets that Prince Kang was going to be taken to the North and would never come back.
Even in the palace, many former servants were scattered.
Now that he is back, the house is immediately full of life again.
Kang Lu and others were all smiles. With the prince, they finally had a backbone. Otherwise, they would not know where to go to eat in the future.
After drinking and eating, Li Yunze came to the study.
This time, I stopped thinking about those big things and started to concentrate on arranging the matter of seizing power.
In the final analysis, it is fundamental to have military power in your hands.
But as a royal prince, it is really difficult to control military power and so on.
The only breakthrough is to start with Zhao Huan.
At this time, Zhao Huan was in a panic stage where the golden man had just left and the emperor was coming back.
After all, Zhao Ji had been the emperor for so many years, and his power was still very strong.
Especially for a coward like Zhao Huan, who has lived in the shadows for a long time and is timid before fighting.
Putting down his brush, Li Yunze stretched out and said, "A bunch of little bastards, are you going to fight with me?"
When it comes to fighting for power, Li Yunze is a real expert.
There was a knock on the door outside the house, and Princess Xing came to deliver soup again.
Seeing the beautiful princess busy with her career in the golden camp, Li Yunze, who had not eaten meat for a long time, immediately felt his blood boil.
"princess."
Li Yunze's voice was a little hoarse, "Come here."
Princess Xing was quite familiar with her, and she knew Li Yunze's thoughts as soon as she heard her voice.
She herself is a ripe apple hanging on the branch, eagerly waiting to be picked.
He came over a little shyly and put the soup on the table, "Your Majesty~~~"
"Your hair is a little messy." Li Yunze reached out and pressed his hand on Princess Xing's hair. "Squat down and let me fix it for you."
After half a stick of incense, Li Yunze straightened the princess's Bu Yao with force, "Remember to wear the Bu Yao in the future and don't shake it loose."
The princess, who was busy making soup, was hesitant to speak and could only nod her head repeatedly to show that she understood.
After resting in the palace for a few days, Li Yunze entered the palace again to see Zhao Huan.
"Kuro."
The Jin soldiers outside the city had broken camp and returned north, but Zhao Huan's mental state was getting worse and worse.
The reason is very simple. The Supreme Emperor who escaped earlier has already begun to complain and wants to return.
Zhao Huan looked sincere, "Father is coming back soon, what should we do?"
"Then it depends on whether the official is filial."
Li Yunze's words made Zhao Huan puzzled, "How do you say this?"
"The Supreme Emperor issued an edict to blame himself. The Supreme Emperor resisted all the blame for the Jin people's migration to the south." Li Yunze followed the guidance and said, "If the official is filial, he should live his life in the palace, and from then on he will practice Taoism and not care about worldly affairs."
Zhao Huan has mediocre abilities, but he is not a fool either.
Li Yunze's words were so clear that he quickly woke up.
"No, no, no."
Zhao Huan, who looked panicked, waved his hands repeatedly, "How can it be like this~~~"
Li Yunze's expression remained unchanged, but he sneered in his heart, "How dare you to be an emperor?"
"If this is the case, then the officials might as well hand over the affairs of the country to the Supreme Emperor."
Zhao Huan, who was wearing a bright red robe, immediately trembled when he heard this, "No, no, no."
After he finished speaking, he seemed to have noticed the faux pas and hurriedly shook his head, shaking the hat on his hat, "That's not what I meant, that's not what I meant."
"Official family."
Li Yunze stepped forward with a smile, "If you don't want to, there is actually a way."
Zhao Huan took a deep breath, "Jiulang, tell me."
"In the official family, the so-called great government is just a struggle for power."
Li Yunze persuaded with a smile on his face, "Losing Yanyun, the Jin soldiers went south. The south of the Yangtze River was La, and the east of the Jingdong was the Songjiang River. The roads in various places were turbulent, and everyone knew that this was the fault of the Supreme Emperor."
"It is a great merit for an official to accept orders in times of crisis and save the emperor and Song Dynasty from danger. What is there to be afraid of?"
After some persuasion, Zhao Huan's complexion improved significantly.
The fear in his heart was actually due to the long-term psychological shadow caused by living in the shadow of Zhao Ji for so many years as the prince.
Li Yunze's words obviously lifted his spirits.
"As for fighting for power, it means expelling the Emperor's confidants." Li Yunze said with a sigh, "The six thieves and their accomplices should be expelled from the court. In this way, not only will the help of the Emperor be cut off, but also
Help officials control the overall situation."
"Yep."
Zhao Huan, whose face gradually became rosy, stared at Li Yunze seriously, "What Jiulang said is absolutely true. All the faults are with the six thieves. My father, my father, he was just deceived by the thieves."
Zhao Huan has been influenced by Confucianism since he was a child, and he still attaches great importance to filial piety.
Moreover, the cowardly scholar-bureaucrats attached great importance to this point. If a wave of public opinion arose, Zhao Huan's weak character would be unbearable.
Unlike Li Yunze, who has been a veteran for a long time, he doesn't care about these things.
"As long as the government promotes virtuous people, the government and the public will naturally respect them."
"Okay." Zhao Huan held Li Yunze's hand again, "Jiulang, you are really my Zhuge."
"Brother Imperial is an official, so he should help the officials solve their problems." Li Yunze, who was upright and awe-inspiring, really looked a bit like Zhuge Wuhou at this time.
After talking some flattering nonsense to each other, Zhao Huan asked eagerly, "It is true that the government and the public can deal with it in this way, but what should the outer court do?"
"If you are a foreign dynasty, you should remove your confidants to take control of the military." Li Yunze responded sincerely, "The Supreme Emperor naturally loves the officials, but the many thieves surrounding the Supreme Emperor may have disobedient intentions."
There is no need to specify the words, just give the general idea.
Zhao Huan knew that it was nonsense that the Supreme Emperor was interested in the official family, and he was the one vying for power.
Zhao Huan knew it well and nodded repeatedly, "Jiulang, I'm so happy to have a good brother like you thinking about me. Come on, let's have a few drinks together."
After eating Zhao Huan's meal, Li Yunze staggered out of the palace.
But after he returned to Prince Kang's Mansion, he immediately went to the study and wrote a secret letter.
"Kang Lu." Looking at the eunuch in front of him, Li Yunze shook the secret letter in his hand, "Can I trust you?"
Kang Lu kowtowed heavily and even hit the floor with a loud sound, "Your Majesty, we are willing to die for Your Majesty!"
"good."
Li Yunze nodded with satisfaction, stretched out his hand and handed the lacquer-sealed letter into Kang Lu's hand, "Go to the accountant to pay five hundred dollars, and then go to Zhenjiang in person. Give this letter to Gao Qiu, Captain Gao. Remember.
Don’t reveal your identity. Come back immediately after you finish.”
Zhao Ji fled to Zhenjiang on the Lantern Festival.
The reason why he went to Zhenjiang was because as early as when he was King Duan, he had been appointed the military governor of Zhenjiang.
Although it is only a distant experience, the significance is extraordinary.
Moreover, the magistrate of Zhenjiang is Cai Jing's son Cai Jing, who is definitely a close confidant.
When he fled south this time, he not only took away the Supreme Empress, many princes and concubines, but also many close associates including Cai Jing.
Later, Tong Guan, Gao Qiu and others even brought many soldiers and horses.
The reason why Zhao Huan was afraid of Zhao Ji's return was largely because Zhenjiang had almost become the second imperial court.
Of course, it is impossible for Li Yunze to really help Zhao Huan. This guy is a softie and is as unkind and unjust as Zhao Ji.
Regardless of how respectful they are now, if the need arises, Zhao Huan will definitely push Li Yunze out of the way to block the gun like before, without hesitation.
So when I gave Zhao Huan an idea that seemed easy to handle, I sent a letter directly to Zhenjiang, prompting them to fight fiercely.
Kang Lu was overjoyed after receiving the letter.
Although Zhenjiang is thousands of miles away, a round trip can cost more than a hundred dollars at most.
The remaining money will naturally go into his own pocket.
There is no eunuch who is not greedy for money.
As long as you have the money, there's nothing you can't do.
Many times, when it comes to collecting money for services, they are even more trustworthy than the bandanas.
"You guys fight faster and harder." After Kang Lu left, Li Yunze turned around with the brush in his hand, "It's best to beat him until his head is bleeding, so that I can go out and take control of the army."
After arranging things, Li Yunze stretched and stood up.
I left the study and went straight to the princess's place. I made an appointment to study music in depth with the princess tonight.
As a gentleman, Li Yunze naturally cannot break his trust.
