  Chapter 921 Conclusion of Peace Treaty

  After the end of the Battle of Hedong, Li Yanqing has been busy appeasing the people in various places in Hedong, and at the same time liquidating the officials of various states and counties who surrendered to the Jinbing.

It is mainly based on public opinion, which is the most authentic and reliable basis. For example, whether the local officials actively cooperate in sending food and people to Jinbing, regardless of the life and death of the people, forcefully expropriate food and manpower, such officials will definitely be held accountable, and if they have escaped Lists are posted in various places, and officials who have not escaped are first removed from their posts, and then interrogated. It is considered lucky to be imprisoned in the prison camp.

In just half a month, Li Yanqing ordered the public beheading of thirteen county and state officials, removal of thirty-four magistrates and county lieutenants, and the lack of officials transferred from the army to civilian officials, such as Yan Jiuling. As the prefect of Longchang, Zhang Qu served as the prefect of Jinzhou, Tang Kai served as the prefect of Fenzhou, and dozens of soldiers and officers served as county magistrates or county lieutenants.

According to the tacit agreement reached by Li Yanqing's court, the defense envoy of Hedong and the magistrate of Taiyuan were appointed by the court, the chief and deputy officials of each prefecture were recommended by Li Yanqing, the list was submitted by the Ministry of Officials to the emperor for approval, and the county magistrate and county lieutenant were directly appointed by Li Yanqing Appointment, reported to the Ministry of Officials for the record.

In mid-April, Zhang Shuye, the new prefect of Taiyuan, and Zhang Jun, the defense envoy of Hedong, took over the positions of the prefect and defense envoy that Li Yanqing temporarily held concurrently. Li Yanqing handed over the 50,000 troops recruited by Taiyuan Prefecture to Zhang Shuye and Zhang Jun , He himself led 30,000 Jingzhao troops back to Jingzhao Mansion.

That morning, Li Yanqing led an army of 30,000 to leave Taiyuan City and return to Jingzhao. Two hundred thousand Taiyuan people poured out of the city and sent Li Yanqing and his army twenty miles away. Zhang Shuye, the new prefect of Taiyuan, also came out to see him off. Li Yanqing.

   Zhang Shuye looked at the reluctant people in the distance and sighed: "My brother puts too much pressure on me, I really don't know what to do to make the people of Taiyuan accept me?"

  Li Yanqing smiled slightly and said: "Minggong is too modest. With Minggong's character and ability, he will definitely be competent. I believe that the people of Taiyuan will soon forget me."

   After a pause, Li Yanqing said again: "However, I have three suggestions for Duke Ming, which can be regarded as my experience."

  Zhang Shuye said solemnly: "Li Jinglue, please tell me!"

"The first is not to trust the Jin people. Even if Song and Jin reach an agreement in the future, Duke Ming must always be on guard. Taiyuan is very important to Jin. If there is a chance to regain Taiyuan, Jin will tear up the agreement without hesitation. "

  Zhang Shuye nodded, "I also know that Jin Ren is not trustworthy, thank you for your advice, I will remember it."

Li Yanqing smiled and said: "The second suggestion is to defend Jingxing. Of the 300 super-large sky-shattering mines I left for Ming Gong, at least 200 should be placed in Jingxing. Jingxing is where the golden soldiers entered the east road. The only passage in the north, as long as Jingxing is guarded, Taiyuan City will be safe and sound."

Although Zhang Shuye is the magistrate of Taiyuan, he also serves as the co-prefect of Taiyuan at the same time. In fact, he is in charge of the military and political power of Taiyuan Prefecture, and Zhang Jun's Hedong Defense Envoy does not include Taiyuan Prefecture. He is mainly responsible for guarding The states in the south of the East Road.

Zhang Shuye nodded silently, and Li Yanqing said again: "The third suggestion is to rely on the people of Taiyuan. It is not the army that has the strongest will to resist the Jin soldiers, but the people of Taiyuan Prefecture. If we rely on them and mobilize them, then Taiyuan Prefecture It must be guarded like an iron bucket, so that the golden soldiers are invulnerable."

   "I have engraved Li Jinglue's golden words in my heart. If Taiyuan is in danger, I hope Li Jinglue can send troops to rescue in time."

  Li Yanqing nodded, "If that day comes, I will definitely come to the rescue as quickly as possible!"

At this time, there was a shout from the people to see them off in the distance. Li Yanqing urged his horse to go forward and waved to hundreds of thousands of people. A dozen white-haired old men walked forward tremblingly, knelt in front of Li Yanqing, and put a He raised the earthen pot full of mud and shouted loudly: "This is the land that Li Jinglue is defending. Please Li Jinglue don't forget him. When it suffers another disaster, Li Jinglue must come to save it!"

Li Yanqing hurriedly got off his horse, took the clay pot and handed it to the soldiers, and then helped a group of old men and said: "Please tell the old folks in Taiyuan that I, Li Yanqing, have the same blood as theirs, and their pain If I personally accept it, I will never let the fathers and villagers of Taiyuan suffer the ravages of Jin Bing again."

   "Li Jinglue take care!"

   "Parents take care!"

  Li Yanqing got on his horse, waved to hundreds of thousands of people, turned his horse and galloped westward. Amidst the shouts of taking care, Li Yanqing's figure gradually disappeared into the distance together with the 30,000 army.

In August of the second year of Jianyan, after three rounds of arduous negotiations, Song and Jin reached a five-year truce agreement. From the first day of May to April 29, five years later, the two sides would no longer fight. The two sides maintain their current respective control territories. The Song Dynasty does not recognize the Jin State's current occupation of the Song Dynasty's territory, and the Jin State has no intention of returning the occupied land to the Jin State. Five prefectures including Bozhou and Yingzhou garrisoned troops.

In addition, the Song Dynasty will return all the prisoners captured by the Kingdom of Jin to the Kingdom of Jin. And all the people of the Song Dynasty in Shangjing were repatriated back to their hometowns as civilians in the Song Dynasty under the rule of Jin.

The war finally stopped, the Song Dynasty quickly entered the stage of recuperation, and the Kingdom of Jin also freed up its hands to conquer the various ministries in Mobei. The contradiction between population and insufficient troops began to appear, and the Kingdom of Jin had to withdraw troops from the Central Plains to the north, so that the control of the Central Plains also followed. weakened.

In order to solve the problem of controlling the Central Plains, Wanyan Xieye, Wanyan Zonghan, and Wanyan Zongbi jointly wrote a letter, suggesting that the Song people should rule the Song Dynasty. Jin Emperor Wanyan Sheng accepted the three people's suggestions and made Liu Yu, the former prefect of Jinan, the king of Qi. , built Qi Wang Mansion in Bianliang, governing Shandong and the Central Plains, and named Gao Qing as the King of Ji, built the Ji Wang Mansion in Hejian Mansion, and governed the two roads of Hebei.

In September of the second year of Jianyan, Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji, late Emperor Zhao Huan, and a group of princes arrived at Jiangning Mansion. Zhao Gou sent Fan Zhixu, Lv Yihao, Gao Shen, Zheng Wangzhi, Zhu Shengfei, Fan Zongyin and other six ministers to Jiangning Mansion to welcome the second sage Nan. return.

It wasn't until the moment they set foot on the Jiangning mansion that Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan finally felt relieved. They finally came back. The father and son couldn't help crying with each other. At this time, Fan Zhixu, Gao Shen and other six ministers rushed to the Jiangning mansion, and when the monarch and ministers met, they cried again.

In the study room of the palace, the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji received Fan Zhixu and Lv Yihao. When Zhao Ji proclaimed himself emperor, Fan Zhixu had served as Prime Minister, but after the Fan Dang case happened, Fan Zhixu was demoted to Bashu, and Lu Yihao was also Zhezong The veteran ministers of the era, the two have profound qualifications, and Zhao Ji also recognized them as the left and right ministers.

  But Zhao Ji also has three major dissatisfaction in his heart, one is dissatisfaction that none of his trusted ministers have been retained, the second dissatisfaction is that his son Zhao Gou did not come to Jiangning Mansion to greet him in person, and the third dissatisfaction is that Li Yanqing was named King of Jin.

He admitted that Li Yanqing was crowned King of Anyang County, it was his father Emperor Shenzong's will, after all, Li Yanqing was the first general of the Song Dynasty to invade Yanshan Mansion, and Zhong Shidao refused to accept the county king, so Li Yanqing's succession is also a name In the end, but Jin Wang belongs to the prince, and non-direct royal families cannot be canonized.

  Li Yanqing married the emperor concubine, at most he could only be regarded as a relative, how could he be qualified to be canonized as a prince with a different surname, even if he made great contributions, he would break the rules left by his ancestors.

In fact, Zhao Ji's criticism of Li Yanqing's canonization as prince is just an excuse. The real reason for his dissatisfaction with Li Yanqing is that Qin Hui informed him in Yanshan Mansion that Li Yanqing did not support welcoming him back to the Song Dynasty. Obviously Li Yanqing is firmly on the side of his son This made Zhao Ji very annoyed.

However, the misfortunes of the past few years have also made Zhao Ji's city even deeper. The three dissatisfaction in his heart did not show at all. He smiled and said to Fan Zhixu: "I know exactly what the emperor is worried about. The country cannot live forever." There is no king. Similarly, a country cannot have two kings in a day. Both are my sons. As the Supreme Emperor, I have the responsibility to solve this matter. Qin Hui has already told me about the concerns of the emperor, so I decided to go to the Jiangning Mansion. Formal decree to recognize the official family as the Great Song Sovereign, and at the same time change Heng'er to be the North King, and tomorrow a simple abdication ceremony will be held in the Jiangning Palace, and the six prime ministers will be invited to testify."

Fan Zhixu and Lu Yihao glanced at each other, they were overjoyed, the official sent the six of them here to solve this matter, since the Supreme Emperor was in charge, then this matter was settled satisfactorily, but the late Emperor did not accompany the Supreme Emperor to meet them, Presumably there was still a grudge in his heart, Fan Zhixu asked cautiously: "What about the late emperor's opinion?"

   Zhao Ji waved his hand, and said coldly: "His brother is willing to take him back to the country because he is thinking of brotherhood. What is he not satisfied with? His opinion is not important, everything is up to me!"
