King Zhao Jing of the dynasty killed his brother and seized the throne, so this dynasty was extremely strict with brothers. According to the old system, the emperor's son was named Prince, the emperor's grandson was named Prince, and the great-grandson was named Duke. The Song family's relatives had a noble status but did not hold power, and they were not allowed to leave the capital without permission from the official family. His Majesty suddenly mentioned King Jing, and the faces of the ministers changed. Sure enough, Zhao Ke said again: "The state affairs are difficult, and the Liao army is at the city, and the capital is in a state of disgrace. In order to prevent the traitors from holding the royal family and causing chaos, the royal family, such as the royal family, must leave the capital, and privately leave the capital and treat it as accomplice and rebellious. In order to prevent the traitor from holding the royal family and causing chaos, if the royal family, the princes, princes, and the Duke of the Kingdom, need to leave the capital to allow the permission, and leave the capital privately and treat it as accomplice."

The ministers looked at each other in the matter of the royal family, and no one dared to object. Zhao Ke glanced at his ministers, snorted coldly, and was silent for a while, and was about to get up and retreat. Suddenly, the footsteps outside the hall were rushing. Soon, the internal ministers used a golden lacquer plate to hold an emergency post, and passed the Prime Minister and the Privy Councilor, and went straight to the imperial front. I wonder what happened again, the ministers were shocked and suspicious, and they did not whisper to the court. Prime Minister Zhao Zhifu, Privy Councilor Shao Wu, and civil and military squads all looked at the official family.

"Did the Liao army attack Hedong? Or did the Xia Kingdom rob the fire?" Zhao Ke uneasyly launched the memorial. Yes, his eyes swept away and he was shocked: "The remnants of Fang La actually rebelled again?" This memorial was a joint report by the southeast camp station deploying Liu Yanqing, the commander of Jinghu South Road, and Du Zhan, the commander of Jinghu North Road, saying that Fang La's rebellion was rebelling everywhere, and there were leaders of rebels named She Wupo, Miao Luo, Gu Shangyuan, Yu Yi, etc. Several routes of the southeastern routes thought that the court was tired of dealing with the invasion of the Liao army, and responded one after another, swept the people and plundered the prefectures and counties, and the southeastern half of the country was shocked. Liu Yanqing led the southeast reinforcements to marches slowly, and at this time he even asked to stay in the Jinghu area for a while to quell the rebellion.

Zhao Ke's face was pale. He was stunned for a while and put the memorial back into the pallet. He couldn't even say anything. He could only raise his hand and wave it, indicating that he would give the gold medal to the Prime Minister and the Privy Councilor and other important officials to read it. Zhao Zhifu, Shao Wu and others changed their faces after reading the memorial, while the other court officials were even more unbearable. In panic, they could not help but whisper. Zhao Zhifu and Shao Wu were rarely silent at the same time. Li Ruobing frowned, and Fang La could not succeed. These remnants were even more difficult to become accustomed to the weather. Unfortunately, the reinforcements in the southeast were dragged down by the Demon Cult.

The Hedong camp was busy dealing with the Meerbo people. The Hebei army was defeated. The Xijing camp preserved its strength. The Song Dynasty claimed to be 800,000 imperial guards. The capital was in a hurry. Looking around, he could not see a commander who was responsible for the king. A censor from Shaowu came out and impeached Liu Yanqing with fierce words and was recommended by Cai Jing. He was a traitor and the remaining party of the treacherous prime minister, who raised the enemy and respected himself, and used the excuse to make trouble. Because when the late emperor was in power, Zhao Zhifu was also recommended by Cai Jing to the Political Affairs Hall. Some people immediately refuted that the court was at the time of employing people, and it was not recommended by Cai Jing, but the Cai party, and it should not be speculated, which made the generals disappointed.

At this moment, no matter how fierce the ministers quarreled, they could not attract the attention of the officials. Zhao Ke looked at Prime Minister Zhao Zhifu in a daze and said in a trembling voice: "The northern enemy invaded and the southeast is in chaos. What should I do?" Zhao Zhifu looked puzzled and said for a moment. Zhao Ke said: "Since the war is no longer possible, can you send envoys to send troops to the Liao people to communicate with each other. The Song and Liao dynasties were called the North and South dynasties and established for hundreds of years. Every time the Liao army went south, they were greedy for money. This time, it would be great that they could settle the money."

Zhao Zhifu had long been determined to seek peace, but he was notorious in his heart. At this moment, the official family raised this matter first, and his eyes lit up.

Privy Councilor Shao Wu immediately opposed, "The alliance under the city must not be." He looked at Zhao Ke's pale face and stepped forward and said, "At this moment, the Liao army won a new victory, and the troops were at the city, and they were arrogant and greedy. However, the Liao army came from afar, and the food and grass could not last long. The city of Bianliang had a high and deep, and there were still 200,000 troops to serve the kings, such as the Lingnan Zhenguo Army, who were coming day and night. The current situation is to stand firm and wait for the help of the kings to arrive. However, as long as our dynasty's intention to stop the troops, it will not only encourage the Liao people's arrogance, let the Liao soldiers take the opportunity to seek excessive demands, but also disturb the people in the capital, and the troops to serve the kings in the world will be disappointed. May I ask Your Majesty, who has proposed this proposal to seek peace? This is a strategy to mislead the country. If there are treacherous and slander in the court, please ask Your Majesty to kill them to correct the people's hearts!"

Seeing the official frowning, Prime Minister Zhao Zhifu immediately said, "In the alliance under the city, those who seek peace are treacherous and can be killed. On Bai Deng Mountain, if Chen Ping had no plan, how could he resolve the trap of Emperor Gaozu? On the Ba Bridge, if Emperor Taizong of Tang had not killed the Baima Ding Alliance, how could he retreat the Turkic soldiers? According to Shao Shumi, Chen Ping and Emperor Taizong of Tang could be killed. It is ridiculous!" Zhao Zhifu was still a little tolerant to Shao Wu. At this moment, he was instructed by the official and his words became unceremonious. Shao Wu's face turned dark and he was about to have another dispute.

"Okay! My intention has been decided!" Zhao Ke said in a deep voice: "Send envoys to the Liao camp to seek peace and quell the troops. Who can take this position?"

At this moment, the ministers did not dare to speak. When the Liao army was on the city and went on a mission to seek peace, and their strengths did not disgrace the country's system, they would likely die. Even if the peace was successful, they would cause the world to be in a bad mood. Nothing in the world is more rare than this. The Chuigong Hall was completely different from the market just now. The important ministers even held their breathing sounds slightly and quiet.

Zhao Ke was angry and said angrily: "I have been raising scholars in the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years. When things are approaching, is there no one available?" He slapped the armrest of the dragon chaise with his right hand, looked at Tong Guan, and said intimately: "What Taiwei Tong said is indeed good. Military generals often conceal the defeat. The court officials are so generous that they deceive the emperor and seek personal gain. There are very few pure ministers who really share the worries of the country." He looked at the civil and military officials in the court with anger, and glared at Shao Wu, a fierce look at him.

The Privy Council reported that the imperial guards in the capital were no less than 300,000. However, according to the investigation by the Imperial City Department, there were nearly 100,000, which was only 200,000. Over the years, elite troops were constantly drawn to Hebei and stationed in the southeast. Most of the brave and brave men in the imperial guards invited themselves to the border towns. The remaining redundant soldiers were unbearable to fight, and even to the point where the cavalry could not ride a horse without grasping the saddle. According to Tong Guan, the imperial guards in the Beijing camp could still fight, and only more than 30,000 imperial guards were directly in the imperial guards, and the others were no different from the idle people in the market and juggling artists. Zhao Ke did not believe it at first, but the Imperial City Department first checked the vacant guards. Later, the Liao army easily crossed the river, and the defense line of the imperial guards was useless, which made Zhao Ke completely lose confidence in the imperial guards in the Beijing camp.

The court was silent for a long time. Most of the brave and powerful civil officials were in charge of fighting, such as Shaowu, the Privy Councilor of the Honglu Temple, Li Ruobing, and others who opposed the alliance under the city and were never willing to seek peace. The civil officials who were in charge of peace were afraid of the fierceness of the Liao people. Qin Hui, a political affairs officer in the court, was captured. Even if he was not killed, he was likely to be detained. There was no reason to send military generals as envoys. Therefore, no one in the twenty important officials of the court in the Chuigong Hall volunteered. So Zhao Zhifu recommended Feng Sheng, the Minister of Rites, as the envoy, and Li Ruobing, the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple, as the deputy envoy.

After Zhao Ke agreed, he personally instructed these two people to endure everything after arriving at the Liao camp and not to be arrogant and anger the Liao army. No matter what conditions the Liao people put forward, they should not refuse, and the court could make a long-term plan. In order to reflect the sincerity of seeking peace in the dynasty, the two envoys specially appointed Feng Cheng as the chief minister of the Honglu Temple. Although Feng Cheng and Li Ruobing may not be willing, they could not refuse.

The court officials could not let Your Majesty take back his order, but the news of sending envoys to seek peace spread, which immediately caused a stir in the city of Bianliang. Since the Liao army invaded the south, the killings have been severe. Hebei prefectures and counties have been slaughtered all of them. Bianliang is generous and has a kind word, and he is scolded by all the people. The imperial army has been defeated repeatedly, but ordinary people think that the Liao army is just taking advantage of our unpreparedness. The Song Dynasty has 60 million men and people, and as long as the top and the bottom are united and hated the enemy, they will definitely defeat the Liao army and end the war without losing decently. At this time, the court suddenly reported that the expectation for peace was eliminated.

The slightest, poured a scoop of cold water on the blood, and millions of Bianliang people felt humiliated, some were frightened, some were angry, some were angry. The rumors among the people became more and more outrageous. Some said that whether it was cede land or indemnity, the Liao army would agree as much as they wanted; some said that the court wanted to follow the old examples of the late Tang Dynasty, and that the children of Bianliang City were all owned by the Liao army, and they only asked Yelu Dashi to retreat; some said that the officials were preparing to flee south, and the four gates of Bianliang City were opened, but the Liao army left satisfactorily. All the arguments became more and more bizarre, and the spearhead was directed at Prime Minister Zhao Zhifu, Tong Guan, and others.

In the Fengmingzhai of Taixue, Liu Wengu and more than a dozen other Tai students were reading scriptures at night. In front of Liu Wengu, a book of "meaning justice" was opened. The door of the Zhaishe was knocked open with a bang. Liu Wengu looked up and Jia Yuanzhen and Ma Yuan rushed into the door wrapped in a cold wind. Seeing many classmates looking at the two of them dissatisfied, Ma Yuan said with grief and anger, "The court will send envoys to ask for peace from the Khitan. The world will perish. What else do you read? Go and beat the drum together, and kneel down and ask Your Majesty to take back the imperial edict!"

After a brief moment of silence, the student who was shocked by the news came to his senses. Several people cursed: "Which treacherous party advocates peace, should be killed to thank the world!"

"Chongxing drum! Chongxing drum!" "Go to the palace gate to ask for an order, and the official family will take back the imperial edict!"

"If this continues, the world will be destroyed!"

"What, the court wants to send envoys to seek peace?" Liu Wengu's face showed an incredible expression. Her husband was too mighty to bend, and he would rather break than bend. The Khitan invaded my land, killed my soldiers, soldiers and people, and plundered my children's jade and silk. Even if he fought for the last soldier, how could the court bend to seek peace from the Khitan? Liu Wengu felt that all the blood was pouring into his mind, and he stood up involuntarily and shouted: "Knock the Dengwengu!" The long-standing unfair aura was aroused in an instant. If he didn't go to the palace gate to knock the Dengwengu, he would be afraid that his blood would burst.

"Wen dies and advises, and Wu dies!" Jia Yuanzhen said loudly, "If you fight, you will be reclaimed and regained your life! Never ask for peace!"

More than three thousand students rushed to tell each other, invited each other, rushed to the palace gate overnight to express their feelings, and asked the officials to take back the imperial edict.

When the people in Bianliang heard about this, some cried, some were confused and helpless, and some followed the Tai students to the palace gate in groups. Within a few hours, tens of thousands of people gathered on the Imperial Street at the palace gate. The Kaifeng government yamen runners initially wanted to drive the people away from the gate of the forbidden palace on the grounds of spying on the palace gate. But as soon as they made a sound, they were angry by the gathered people. With excitement, they almost beat several slow-running runners to death. The imperial front duty only kept guarding the palace gate and prevented the rioters from trespassing the palace gate, and the sky didn't care about it. Kaifeng Palace asked the three yamen to transfer the imperial guards to quell the rebellion, but the Privy Councilor Shao Wu himself was in charge of the war but not the peace. Instead, he scolded the Kaifeng Prefecture Prefecture's prefecture, and Kaifeng Prefecture no longer dared to care about this matter.
