Chapter 701 A deal!
In the capital, the prince Long Zhaohuan lived like a year. Although Song Wensong respected him in all respects, he could not see a like-minded person in the court. He had become a redundant person in the capital. The right he longed to control had become out of reach. As for the one he had dreamed of obtaining the throne, it was even more like the moon in the water and the flowers in the mirror.
Dakang is about to be lost and the country is about to be destroyed. Where is Long Zhaohuan's future and future? He thought repeatedly and felt that if he wanted to make a breakthrough, he had to go south to Jiangnan.
Emperor Xinde in Jiangnan is already too old, and his dream of cultivating immortals has reached its final stage. Emperor Xinde is no longer able to control the situation, and he may not even want to control the situation.
At this time, if Long Zhaohuan could go to Jiangnan as the prince, and then join forces with the clan and the kingdom in Jiangnan, he might be able to save Dakang from danger.
As long as Jiangnan is well done, the rioters and traitors who are kings in various places will have the opportunity to pacify them one by one, and Long Zhaohuan can still see hope for the future.
Look, today Long Zhaohuan summoned the leading figure of the Su family, Su Xinghai, the chief assistant of the dynasty. When he saw Su Xinghai, he said with tears in his face: "Su Xiang, I was the one who harmed you at the beginning and left you in the capital. The capital has experienced so many hardships, and you have suffered a lot of grievances with me. I, Long Zhaohuan, are sorry for you!"
Su Xinghai hurriedly said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, don't do this. The old minister is a loyal minister of Dakang. You should devote all your efforts to Dakang until you die. What is the consequence of suffering a little grievance? It's nothing at all!"
Long Zhaohuan said: "Su Xiang is so good, it is a blessing for Da Kang to have a loyal minister like you. Su Xiang, the situation in the capital is in danger, but Jiangnan is not at peace. Recently, I have been thinking about whether I can go to Jinling with Su Xiang. To be honest, I am really worried about my father's health, and Su Xiang must be worried about the situation in Jinling, right?
There is no Su Prime Minister in Jinling, and the court has lost its power, which is extremely unfavorable to the country!"
Su Xinghai frowned slightly. He understood what Long Zhaohuan meant. This kid was going to escape. How could Song Wensong let Long Zhaohuan go in the current situation? As soon as he thought of this, Su Xinghai said: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is reasonable. The Crown Prince is very filial. I will definitely find a way to do this! Once there is news, I will report to Your Highness the Crown Prince immediately!"
Long Zhaohuan smiled and said, "I knew that Su Xiang was a reliable person. Okay, you and I made an agreement on this matter. Looking back, we will see the opportunity. As long as we board the canal boat and head south, Jinling will be here soon!" Long Zhaohuan was so happy that he was very excited. Su Xinghai's affirmative reply made him very excited.
He was originally more desperate because there was no one available in his hands. Although Song Wensong was polite to him, all the guards and entourages of the East Palace were cleaned up. Now the guards in the East Palace were all arranged by Song Wensong. In this case, the East Palace had no secret to Song Wensong.
Although Song Wensong is different from Cao Weiming, this person is also ambition. Can he return the power to Long Zhao to replace it? That is impossible. Song Wensong used the position of Prince Long Zhaohuan to command all directions, at least north of the river, and should be respected by the prince.
Moreover, Song Wensong claimed to be a loyal minister of Dakang. In this case, both the Song family in Longyou and the Ming of Cao Wei were regarded as rebels.
For Song Wensong, there was a lot of pressure from the Song family, but because of the existence of Long Zhaohuan, Song Wensong could declare to the people of the world that he broke up with the Song family because he could not achieve both loyalty and filial piety. He was a loyal minister of Dakang, but the Song family in Longyou wanted to rebel. The two sides said differently and did not plan for each other. In the end, they parted ways and even turned against each other.
Song Wensong's reasoning has an absolute moral advantage, so Song Wensong has a very good reputation, and the transportation of cargo ships from Jiangnan has never been cut off from the capital. Although Song Wensong only has the capital city, he can guarantee that the building will not collapse for the time being, and even have a glimpse of the opportunity to expand his power again.
Speaking of which, Su Xinghai came out of the Eastern Palace and was soon invited to the General's Mansion. The so-called General's Mansion was naturally Song Wensong, the prince supervising the country. He named Song Wensong the Great General of Zhenbei and granted the previous Qin Prince's Mansion as the General's Mansion. Song Wensong finally had a mansion in the capital that matched his identity.
Su Xinghai was invited to the General's Mansion. Song Wensong was very enthusiastic and performed his junior rituals in a regular manner, saying, "Su Xiang, you have been busy with everything but still haven't forgotten His Royal Highness. He is really a loyal minister and a model for our younger generations to advance!"
Su Xinghai smiled and said, "General, I'm afraid that the general will be swearing in his heart if he says a model thing! Haha..."
When Su Xinghai said that, he burst into laughter. Song Wensong hurriedly said, "Su Xiang, Wensong has been having a hard time over the years. It has been a great deal of hardship to get to this point today. Wensong dares not hide it from Su Xiang. Recently, I am inevitably worried that the capital will fall into the hands of the thief one day and one day!
Now for us, the forces of the Northwest Song family are under the brink of troops, while clowns like Cao Weiming are still dead and will still make a comeback. The capital can be said to be internal and external troubles. In this case, Wen Song has no choice but to do something. If we don’t work together and work together, the capital may fall again!”
Song Wensong's tone was very sincere and his attitude was very good, but who was Su Xinghai? How could he be confused by Song Wensong's outside? He beat him up and said, "General, you can guess it's almost the same. This time, Your Highness is looking for me to go back to Jiangnan!
After all, Jiangnan is a rich place, and the capital is too dangerous. His Royal Highness has experienced several setbacks and encountered several thrilling situations. Now he is afraid!"
Song Wensong was stunned for a moment and said angrily: "How can this be done? The prince stationed in the capital and supervised the emperor as the emperor. This is His Majesty's will. How can His Highness resist the order and refuse to obey the order?"
Su Xinghai said lightly: "General, you can't say that. His Majesty's order was good at the beginning, but now His Majesty's condition is getting worse. The prince wants to go back to Jinling to see his father. Is this a requirement too much? His Majesty said that when he returned to the capital, he wanted to see the scenery of Jiangnan, and the key is to see His Majesty. The father-son loves deeply, he can't rest assured!
His Highness understood that the capital could not live without him. He told the old minister that he would stay in Jinling for three days, then immediately return north, and then share the joys and sorrows with the general, and advance and retreat together until all the rioters and thieves were wiped out. If he was uneasy, he would never retreat again!"
Su Xing was speechless and said this, Song Wensong was speechless for a moment. What could he say? What could he say? Song Wensong said that he would return after three days in Jinling. I am afraid that the three-year-old child would not be able to deceive him, but it was completely unreasonable for Song Wensong to use this matter to grab him against the order.
The key is that Su Xinghai now knows that as long as he spreads it out, can Song Wensong let the crown prince be released? If he lets the crown prince, he would give up his political capital. From then on, Song Wensong is as righteous as he is today? Can he still regard himself as a loyal minister of the court like now?
However, if Song Wensong dared not let him go, what did he mean? Is he threatening the crown prince? Do you want to learn from Cao Weiming to regard the crown prince as a slave? If so, Song Wensong is still a loyal minister? He is a first-class treacherous minister, and everyone can kill him. This time, the capital will face unprecedented pressure.
Who is Song Wensong? He led his troops out to work hard when he was very young. He had gone through many hardships and hardships, and encountered countless difficulties. These hardships made him mature quickly. He knew that Su Xinghai was a powerful opponent. Today he had to solve this matter with Su Xinghai. Otherwise, Su Xinghai could quickly collapse.
I regret it. Song Wensong really regrets it. He felt that he was still too weak to guard the Eastern Palace, so he shouldn't have let Su Xinghai meet Long Zhaohuan. This old thing is so amazing. Today's affairs are simply a waste of things.
Taking a deep breath, Song Wensong said: "Su Xiang, tell me, what do you think now? As long as it is your idea, you will definitely do what you can do, and create conditions for what you cannot do. OK?"
Su Xinghai said: "General, under the calm surface of the capital city recently, there is actually a rush of undercurrents. The monk Daojin from Guiyin Temple in the suburbs of Beijing has gone to Jiangnan. This old monk is extraordinary. The general is very hasty in letting him go.
The other person is Dai Gao. Don’t you know who Dai Gao is? He has also gone to Jiangnan. He is Lu Zheng’s Yue Feng. If he asked him to go to Jiangnan, wouldn’t he give Lu Zheng a great help?"
Song Wensong sighed and said, "Su Xiang is right, but these two people don't work in my hands. It's really hard for me to refuse two people with two horses in Jiangnan! Lu Zheng and I are friends, brothers, and his father-in-law is also my elders. Can I stop them from reuniting with their father and son?"
"As for the monk Daojin, who is a person outside the world, if I tie him to the capital, what will the talented men in the world look at the capital? What will they look at me, Song Wensong?"
Su Xinghai said: "Are you a thousand horses? It's easy to say. Although my Su family does not produce horses, there are still some horses! General, Su has been in the capital for a long time. Your Majesty is not good at it now. He needs me! So, today I hope the General can understand my hard work..."
After Su Xinghai said this, the situation suddenly fell into silence. The two of them were polite on the surface, but in fact they were tit-for-tat. Su Xinghai was leaving and Song Wensong wanted to keep someone. In a few words, the two of them were full of swords and swords!
Su Xinghai was leaving, but Song Wensong was unwilling to let go. Su Xinghai was willing to give a thousand horses, and he could guarantee that he would no longer bother Long Zhaohuan, but Song Wensong was still hesitant!
Song Wensong was not afraid that Su Xinghai would go to Jiangnan Lu Zheng to help him. He did not have much dispute with Lu Zheng at the moment. For Song Wensong, how could he survive and live a good life is his pursuit. Lu Zheng now has more people, so he doesn't care.
Song Wensong considered that when the elites in the capital went south like Su Xinghai, Jiangnan and the capital lost their important links, so that Jiangnan could be decoupled from the capital anytime and anywhere, it would be even more difficult for Song Wensong to get benefits from Jiangnan.
Also, if Song Wensong wants to support the imperial court in the capital, he cannot be without people, he also needs talents. If the imperial court in the capital fails to fall, this is the key to Song Wensong's ability to gain a foothold, so Su Xinghai, the chief minister, is too important.
"Su Xiang, you went to Jiangnan alone, but the Su family in the capital is deeply rooted. What should I do if such a big family? Could it be that all the family went to Jiangnan?" Song Wensong said.
Su Xinghai smiled and said, "General, Su went to Jiangnan to go and never returned, but went to see His Majesty and see how his body was. Go to Jiangnan for a few days to go to Jiangnan to let Jiangnan know that it is not easy for our capital and our suffering. Let them give us more support, so that our Northern Court will be more abundant, right?"
Song Wensong sighed, he believed that Su Xinghai was a ghost, Su Xinghai said it well now. When he arrived in Jiangnan, he only needed Emperor Xinde to give an order. Su Xinghai stayed in Jiangnan under the order. What could Song Wensong do? Song Wensong could see this kind of thing clearly and thoroughly!
When Su Xinghai goes to Jiangnan, he must be a meat bun to beat the dog, and there is no return. However, from Su Xinghai's position, he must not be shaken. Even though he knows that he is lying, he can only say that, because Song Wensong needs to explain to others, and Su Xinghai also needs to explain to the Su family.
Also, he needs to give Song Wensong a reason to convince himself. Otherwise, Song Wensong would never let go!
Song Wensong knew that Su Xinghai had put this part in his words, and his intention to leave was decided, so he immediately said, "Okay, Su Xiang, a thousand horses are very important, but the army has shortage of food recently. Su Xiang's family is the largest household in the capital. Can the food issue be supported? It will solve the urgent problem!"
Su Xinghai said: "General, don't worry, it is the unshirkable responsibility of my Su family to support the army. When I turn around, I will ask the housekeeper to send 50,000 stones of food to the army!"
Song Wensong laughed and said, "Su Xiang is indeed a cheerful person. Looking back, Su Xiang still needs to declare to the outside world that you are going to Jiangnan because of His Royal Highness. His Royal Highness cannot withdraw from his country. He appointed you to Jiangnan to visit His Majesty's condition. This matter must not be wrong. Otherwise, there may be people with ulterior motives in the capital who have ulterior motives!"
When Su Xinghai heard that Song Wensong was relieved, he was immediately overjoyed and said, "Okay, okay, everything depends on the general's meaning! In the moment of crisis, the general is the only pillar of the capital. Officials at all levels in the capital, regardless of civil and military officials, all need to obey the general's arrangements and dispatches. If there is any violation, they can be killed immediately without mercy!"
