After venting anger and calming down, you have to think of countermeasures and find a way to turn defeat into victory.
First, whose idea is this? Who can profit from this?
Tong Guan was obviously also a victim, so it was obvious that this was done by Tong Guan's opponent. Who was Tong Guan's opponent? Of course, it was the peace faction of Bian Jing. If Tong Guan's Northern Expedition was successful, the war faction was outstanding and he monopolized the power. It is conceivable that those peace factions and those fence factions could not be defeated. Even if they were not driven out of the court, their reputation, status and power would be severely hit and could not be defeated for a long time. What's more serious is that if the Northern Expedition was successful, the emperor's prestige would reach a peak. It would be easy for him to abolish the legitimate and establish the illegitimate. The consequences were that those ministers who opposed the abolishment of the legitimate and establish the illegitimate and establish the illegitimate and establish the illegitimate and establish the illegitimate and establish the illegitimate and establish the illegitimate and establish the illegitimate and establish the illegitimate and establish the illegitimate and establish the illegitimate and establish the illegitimate and establish the illegitimate and the consequences were that those ministers who opposed the abolishment of the illegitimate and establish the illegitimate and the illegitimate and establish the illegitimate and the consequences were that those ministers who opposed the abolishment of the illegitimate and establish the illegitimate and the illegitimate and establish the illegitimate and the illegitimate and establish the illegitimate and the consequences were that those ministers who opposed the abolishment of the illegitimate and establish the illegitimate and the illegitimate and establish the illegitimate and the illegitimate and establish the illegitimate and the illegitimate and the illegitimate may bid farewell to Bian Jing.
Judging from this fierce and bloody battle, the Lords and the ministers must fight back for their own interests. It is normal for them to come up with this method, but it is abnormal to tie them up if they are bound.
Which ministers in Bianjing are the lords and factions?
Li Gang, Yuwen Xuzhong, and Zhe Keqiu have said that everyone has the final say in their hearts. To put it simply, all ministers who support the crown prince must be the masters and factions. From this, this matter is directly related to the Zhe family.
Wu Siming and Northwest generals Yang Keshi, Wang Qi, and Zhong Shizhong once talked. These three Northwest generals said something at that time. Now Wu Siming understands it, and Li Hu, Huang She and others understand it. No wonder they are very sure that the Song army will not be able to go north to Youyan within the year. It turns out that all this is a plan.
Li Hu and everyone finally got to know each other. It turned out that their ultimate goal was to win the battle for imperial rule.
The situation is very obvious now. Bianjing hates Li Hu and rebels against Li Hu, but Bianjing is not sure to defeat Li Hu, and is even more worried that Li Hu will surrender to the Jurchens, lose the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun for nothing, and bring unpredictable disasters to the Song Dynasty, so they must send someone to negotiate.
Li Hu fell into the trap of the Song people and was fooled by the Song people. He was furious. However, Li Hu's goal was to dominate the north. For a long time in the future, Li Hu needed the Song Dynasty. For this reason, he had to defend Yan Yun and bargain with the Song Dynasty with Yan Yun as a bargaining chip to win the greatest benefit for himself. Therefore, Li Hu would not be impulsive to rebel against the Song Dynasty and fight against the Song Dynasty. He also wanted to negotiate with the Song Dynasty.
But this situation actually declared that the Northern Expedition failed. Tong Guan, Wang and others had to bear the blame for this and paid a high price.
The emperor was furious and furious. Of course, he wanted to find a scapegoat; Li Hu wanted to fight westward to ensure the stability of Bianjing. He first had to overthrow Tong Guan and the king; the ministers of the lord and the princes were therefore taken over. The prince's status was stable. The struggle for the imperial rule was weakened. Bianjing became stable. The national policy could thus deviate to the landlords that favored the interests of the lord and the king. The three goals also pointed to Tong Guan and the king. The ministers of the lord and the king. They pointed to supporting the emperor's deposed legitimate officials and established close ministers in the landlords. Therefore, this difficult negotiation became the battlefield between the two sides of the Bianjing.
At this point, the initiative has returned to Li Hu's hands.
"Are these people too smart?" Huang She figured it out and her mood suddenly improved. "After doing it for a long time, we were in the end. What's the mystery here?"
“The cleverness is here.
"Chai Yun held a cinnabar pen in his hand and drew it on a piece of paper, trying to figure out the complex relationship here. "We recaptured Yan Yun, but became a traitor of the Song Dynasty. This was unacceptable, so they reciprocate and handed over the final control to us and let us slaughter. Is that true?"
"It cannot be like this. Whether it is the ministers of Bian Jing, the Zhe family and the Northwest Generals, it is impossible to hand over the final control to us. They must still hold a knife in their hands and give us a fatal blow at any time." Yuan Ye immediately rejected Chai Yun's view, "We must find this knife to completely control the situation."
"Where is this knife?" Wu Siming frowned and said slowly, "At present, Tong Guan and Wang still have the power to fight back. They still control the court and have to negotiate with us. As long as they successfully negotiate, they can make the merits and sins, and they can still gain the trust of the emperor and continue to enjoy wealth and glory."
"Yes, you're right, the key is peace talks." Huang She said while walking back and forth in the room, "We want to push Tong Guan and Wang down, of course we will not agree to their terms of peace talks. In order to push Tong Guan and Wang down, the people in Bian Jing will try their best to obstruct no matter what conditions we propose. In this way, the identity of the peace talker becomes the key to this negotiation."
Li Hu suddenly figured it out and slapped the table with a slap. "The things that bitch raised are really perfect. They dare not support the prince publicly, but in desperation, they actually forced me to jump out and support the prince publicly."
Prince? The eyes of several people lit up and suddenly realized.
The negotiations are deadlocked, and both sides are at a strife and are about to break out. At this time, the prince takes the initiative to ask for his order, and the emperor will definitely agree. This trip is dangerous. The prince may die at the hands of Li Hu, or may be threatened by Li Hu to Bian Jing.
If you can return without success, take a step back. Even if the negotiation is completed, the emperor will be 7 sons in the future. Say that you have not had a good negotiation, which will bring great shame to the Song Dynasty. Therefore, the emperor can just depose the crown prince and let Prince Yun enter the Eastern Palace.
When the prince arrived in Yanjing, he would give Li Hu a series of promises, including an edict to the world and proclaim Li Hu's great achievements in regaining Yan Yun, while Li Hu was one-sided and gave the prince absolute support. This situation was probably an ending that the emperor and his close ministers could never have imagined. This one-sided situation immediately posed a huge threat to the emperor and his close ministers, and the peace faction of Bian Jing took the opportunity to fuel the fire and intensify the conflicts in Bian Jing. In order to stabilize the situation and ease the conflicts, the emperor's best way was to satisfy the wishes of all parties and drive Tong Guan and Wang out of the court.
As a result, the prince made great achievements and his status was stable. The prince repaid his favor and announced to the world that Li Hu's achievements in recapturing Yan Yun. Tong Guan and Wang were charged with the crime of failing the Northern Expedition, and the ministers in the warship would lose their power and would no longer be honored.
"What a plan, it's a plan. You can kill more and more with one stone. All the goals have been achieved." Huang She shook her head and sighed, looking at Li Hu and asked, "Is this the real strength of the Zhe family?"
Li Hu shook his head, "This should be a trap set by the prince and his team. The Zhe family is just an executor."
"This matter has just begun. With the strength of the Zhe family, it is impossible to deal with the upcoming storm." Chai Yun said, "I heard from Li Gang and Yuwen Xuzhong that the prince was suppressed by the emperor and did not have many loyal people under his command. The prince should not have such strength. In my opinion, there are people behind the prince, and he is powerful and can use power that we cannot imagine to charge for the prince."
"Cai Jing..." Li Hu immediately thought of the powerful and prominent figure in the Song Dynasty.
Chai Yun looked solemn and nodded slightly, "If Cai Jing is behind the prince, then we must be careful about this matter and not overturn the boat in the gutter.
”
"How many years can he live?" Wu Siming disregarded. "When the day the prince ascended the throne, he might have died long ago."
"This kind of person is so terrible. Even if he dies, he can cause a huge storm in the Song Dynasty." Huang She agreed with Chai Yun's statement, "Wang Anshi of the Song Dynasty is such a person. He died, but Yuanfeng and Yuanyou Party members fought bloodyly for decades. Who can guarantee that this kind of thing will not happen after Cai Jing's death?"
Li Hu sneered, and the flesh on his cheeks shook slightly. Huang She was right. This kind of thing will definitely happen. Not only did I want to kill Cai Jing, but I also killed the Yuanfeng Party members.
"So, what is the knife in Cai Jing's hand? What does he use to firmly control the development of the situation?"
"Jurchens." Li Hu had figured it out, and he sneered, "If the situation gets out of control, the Song Dynasty will ask the Jurchens to go south to attack Yanjing. The Jurchens are forced to maintain peace with the Song Dynasty for the time being. For the Jurchens, as long as they get the Pingzhou Road and then join forces with the Song Dynasty to drive me out of Datong, they will basically control Yanyun. Temporarily handing over Yanjing to the Song Dynasty will not only not weaken the powerful threat they posed to the Central Plains, but also extort a batch of money from the Song Dynasty. Why not do it?"
Huang She, Chai Yun, Yuan Ye and Wu Siming thought for a long time, and felt that Li Hu's guess was very reasonable. Apart from asking for help from the Jurchens, the Song Dynasty really had no way to take back Yanjing.
All of this is based on reasoning and speculation. Even facts will change at any time, because Tong Guan and Wang are also "experts". Tong Guan even joined forces with the eunuch to drive Cai Jing off the stage. His strength in Bian Jing is no worse than Cai Jing. Once Tong Guan counterattacks, his power will be very powerful. Just imagine, what Li Hu and Liaodong people can think of, Tong Guan and Wang will not think of? Will they tie up?
Li Hu, Huang She and others immediately designed countermeasures.
For Hulie Mansion, the most urgent task is to protect Datong. If the matter of Yanjing cannot be properly handled, he has to give up Yanjing, return Yanjing to Xiao Gan, and rescue Empress Dowager Xiao. As for future matters, Hulie Mansion can only take one step at a time.
Li Hu urgently told Datong, informing him of what happened in Bianjing and the countermeasures he had made in detail, and attached Yan Qing's letter, asking Huliu Mansion to find ways to defend Datong first, wait for the main force of the army to return to aid before fighting with Xixia.
On the first day of November, Tian Hao led the troops in western Liaoning, Wu Chitian and Yang Hua and Yun Haijun to Yanjing.
Li Hu personally went outside the city to greet him and held a banquet in the mansion. At the banquet, Li Hu briefly explained his northern conception. Tian Hao, Wu Caitian and others were surprised to hear that Li Hu wanted to give up Yanjing and manage the northwest. This was too far from their previous expectations. They always thought that Li Hu wanted to open the border and establish the country with Yanyun. Unexpectedly, Li Hu not only did not have the idea of opening the border and establishing a country for the time being, but instead wanted to go to the northwest to compete with the Dangxiang people for a place of survival.
