Chapter 76 Princess Proud

An error occurred while processing s private files

Behind the battle for command of the battlefield was a struggle between power and interests. Tong Guanyi forced Li Hu to agree to send troops to Hebei, drove Li Gang out of Bianjing, and used someone he was satisfied with to be the prime minister. At the same time, the people of the Northwest failed and still did not get command of the battlefield.

Tong Guan's move is very powerful, he is trying to beat the other and plays with all his opponents in his palm.

Li Hu Gan was at a disadvantage, knowing that he could not play Tong Guan, and he had no intention of intervening in Bian Jing. Now he would be satisfied as long as the Song army could hold on the battlefield in Hebei and give the Hu Lie Army control of the northwest and win enough time for Sichuan and Shu and Jinghu.

Both parties achieved their goals and had a pleasant conversation. Tong Guan immediately talked about the marriage, and he hoped that the matter would be resolved as soon as possible, and there was no need to delay it.

Li Hu was worried. There were many women in the family, including Luo Sinan, Wanyan Xingxing, Yelu Mingyue, Zhe Keying and Li Yuling. Even if they marry one more, it doesn’t matter. But the key is that the Zhao family’s status is too high. Where is the position of marrying the family? Li Hu took this opportunity to solemnly tell Tong Guan that in his family, Luo Sinan is the wife and the princess of Han. If Bian Jing wants to get in touch with it, he will give up early to avoid being unhappy with each other.

Zhao Kai and Tong Guan stayed in the northwest for so long, of course they knew Luo Sinan's weight. Whether in Li Hu's heart or in the Tiger Army, Luo Sinan's status is unshakable and no one can replace him.

"I've been worried about each other." Tong Guan smiled, "Princess Roufu married into the Han Palace. Whether she was a princess or not, she was a princess of the Song Dynasty, while the prime minister was a royal relative of the Song Dynasty. The change of the prime minister's identity is very important to Your Majesty. It not only brings Your Majesty closer to the Prime Minister, but also makes Bianjing and Hulie Mansion more harmonious."

Li Hu agreed with a smile, and then discussed some details with Tong Guan. According to Tong Guan's intention, he sent the princess over in mid-July to complete the marriage. Li Hu vaguely felt that it was inappropriate, but he couldn't figure out the reason for the moment.

Zhao Kai cannot rush to marry his sister, so he must have another purpose.

Li Hu asked Chai Yun to travel to Bianjing and was fully responsible for the marriage.

The new emperor ascended the throne and changed the year name to Jianxing.

July in the first year of Jianxing in the Song Dynasty (1126 AD).

On the third day of the seventh month, the emperor issued an order. Li Gang served as the Hebei Xuanfu envoy. Zong Shidao and Yao Gu's deputy. He led his army to recover the lost territory in Hebei.

On the same day, he was appointed as the prime minister of Zhang Bangchang.

On the same day, it was announced that King Li Hu of Han would marry Princess Roufu on the 12th of this month.

After these imperial edicts were issued, Li Hu was absolutely strong on the surface. He obviously used his power to bully people, and this was to steal people.

Because of preconceived reasons, Zhang Bangchang's appointment as prime minister seemed to be a compromise, and the purpose behind it was ignored. Li Gang went to the Hebei battlefield to preside over the overall situation, which further highlighted Li Hu's domineeringness.

Although Li Gang is not the prime minister, he is a Pacific Insurance Officer. A 1st-rank official commander commander of the Hebei War with all the battlefield command. It is easy to imagine how powerful Li Gang has. Why did Bianjing give up such power? It is obvious that behind this, Li Hu is exerting heavy pressure.

In this way, Bianjing conveyed a message very clearly that under Li Hu's control, Li Hu's threat to the Song Dynasty was far away from the Jin Dynasty.

Li Hu was the biggest threat to the Song Dynasty. This consensus was quickly formed in the east and west prefectures of Bianjing, the imperial guards in the capital, and the northwest army on the battlefield in Hebei. Soon, local officials in Jingdong, west and southeast, Jinghu and other places would also have this understanding. It can be imagined that in the future, the attention of the Song Dynasty and the people will be concentrated on the northwest and Li Hu.

On the sixth day of the lunar month, Yan Qing hurriedly felt Luoyang and told him in detail the rumors in Bianjing.

Li Hu was puzzled. He didn't know what Zhao Kai and Tong Guan were going to do. He threatened himself with the great power of the Song Dynasty and the safety of Bianjing. He had already agreed to send troops to Hebei and clearly stated that he would not interfere in the government affairs. This was not enough. Even if this was not enough, he would have to wait until the end of the Hebei War and openly provoke conflicts now. Wouldn't it be okay to find trouble?

"What else have you heard of in Bianjing besides these?" Li Hu asked.

Yan Qing didn't say anything. He had been popular in Bianjing for several years and made enough money. He was a veritable rich man. Although Li Hu had promised him to allow him to make a fortune and make a name for himself, the premise was to provide information to Hulie Mansion. Yan Qing had always done a good job with Li Shishi's relationship, but since the young emperor came to power, the situation changed. Li Shishi's status in Bianjing plummeted and it was difficult to get news from the center. Fortunately, Yan Qing was preparing for the last time and made many friends in the royal family and the east and west governments. Through these people, he could also obtain some secrets.

"Just say whatever you have." Li Hu smiled, "Unverified rumors may also work."

"Do you know Princess Maode?" Yan Qing asked.

Li Hu shook his head. He knew very little about the Zhao royal family, and he didn't want to know either.

"Princess Maode is the most beautiful woman in Bianjing City." When Yan Qing said this, his eyes were obviously wrong. Obviously, he had seen this princess and his appearance was about this princess.

Very deep.

Li Hu listened quietly. A woman's appearance means nothing to him. Although there may not be many beautiful women, in terms of his status, there is no shortage of beautiful women at all. It is just that Yan Qing suddenly mentioned such a beautiful princess, and there must be a story behind it.

"A few years ago, Princess Maode married Cai Jing's second son Cai Tao and had a pair of children. When Cai Tao went to Zhenjiang Prefecture to take office, Princess Maode stayed in the capital." Yan Qing said this and sighed, "Cai Jing's family fled to the southeast, and she also went south with her. Not long ago, she returned with the Supreme Emperor. This time, the new emperor ascended the throne and started a massacre. Cai Jing and his family were bloodbathed. It is estimated that in a while, the heads of Cai Jing, Cai You and Cai Tao and his son will appear in the downtown Bianjing."

Li Hu frowned slightly, wondering why Yan Qing said these messy things.

"Princess Maode's children were implicated, and for this reason she begged the emperor to let her child go. The emperor made a request." Yan Qing looked up at Li Hu and whispered, "The emperor said that if Princess Maode was willing to marry into the Jin Kingdom, he would let Princess Maode's children go."

Li Hu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of something, his face changed suddenly, "Bianjing wants to negotiate peace?"

Yan Qing smiled bitterly, "I know only what I know, but I heard from a royal family Xiao Wang. He is Prince Maode's younger brother, so there should be no falsehood."

Li Hu didn't listen to this sentence. His mind was full of peace talks between Bian Jing and Jin. Zhao Kai hurriedly married, hurriedly drove Li Gang away, and hurriedly let Zhang Bangchang take over, which was obviously premeditated. As for the current situation, peace talks can win time for Bian Jing and allow Zhao Kai to consolidate the throne, but Zhao Kai ascended the throne and became emperor in a stance of war. If he negotiated peace, it would be like he was slapping himself in the mouth, and the reason for deposing the young emperor became even more ridiculous.

So, Zhao Kai and Tong Guan thought of a way to push Li Hu to the forefront, so that everyone could feel the threat of Li Hu. At this time, if Zhao Kai didn't speak, someone would take the initiative to propose peace with the Jin Kingdom.

Being able to defend the inside and out is empty, and to fight against foreign countries, you must first settle the inside. Li Hu's threat must be eradicated or alleviated before you can concentrate your efforts against the Jin Kingdom.

Who will propose peace talks? Of course it was Zhang Bangchang and the civil servants of the East and West governments.

Once the peace talks are proposed, Zhao Kai will definitely give up half-heartedly. In order to ensure that the peace talks can be implemented, he must first drive the firm war factions in the center out of the capital, such as Li Gang and Zhong Shidao. These two people must be driven away no matter what, otherwise the peace talks will be difficult to pass.

From this, it can be concluded that Zhao Kai had already discussed with Tong Guan before entering Bian Jing, first amplifying his threat to Bian Jing without limit, provoking conflicts between the Tiger and the Northwest Army, and then using peace talks to delay the Jin Kingdom, quickly consolidate the throne, and weaken the strength of the Tiger and the Northwest Army.

Li Hu sneered, tapping his fingers gently on the desk, full of murderous intentions. He and the Northwest people were fooled by Zhao Kai. This bastard actually wanted to surrender and negotiate peace, but now he has been pushed to the forefront and cannot move easily. The situation changes as soon as possible. The most urgent task is to get rid of the passive situation as soon as possible.

Li Hu urgently summoned Dong Xiaochou, Mao Jun and others to discuss and briefly explained his guess.

Li Hu's speculation is indeed reasonable, but now Bianjing has just issued an imperial edict, and the adverse consequences caused by these imperial edicts have not yet been revealed. Many things can only be prevented early and cannot take action.

"After the Chief Commander and Princess Roufu got married, the statement that you controlled the power and harmed the country's destiny would immediately rampant." Huang She felt that the situation was serious, but it was difficult to find a countermeasure in his eagerness. "Li Gang went to the Hebei battlefield to preside over the overall situation, which would inevitably intensify the conflict between the Tiger and the Northwest Army. The Northwest people wanted to use you to threaten Bianjing and get the battlefield command, but they were used by you, allowing you to steal the battlefield command. The trap set by Tong Guan was very clever. You had to jump if you didn't jump, and once you jump, there would be no room for maneuver."

"In other words, I have to agree to Bianjing and agree to Bianjing peace talks, right?" Li Hu asked angrily.

"It's true." Huang She shook her head helplessly, "When Li Gang arrives in Hebei, the Northwest Army will not listen to his command. Take a step back and say that even if the Zhe family is willing to cooperate, Zhong Shidao and Yao Gu will not agree. Liu Guangshi and Xin Xingzong are supported by Tong Guan, so they will not listen to Li Gang. The army on the battlefield in Hebei is a mess, and this battle cannot be fought."

"I will never agree to peace talks." Li Hu sneered, "If I acquiesced to peace talks between Bianjing, it would be like breaking up with the people of the northwest, and I would not be able to gain a foothold in the northwest."
