In the seventh year of Xuanhe (1125 AD), November...

In November, Bianjing.

After receiving the promise from the Jin emperor, Bianjing carefully weighed the pros and cons, and finally decided to follow the established strategy and join forces with the Jin people to attack and kill Li Hu.

Bian Jing did not ignore Guo's repeated warnings. Although the Jin people repeatedly explained that the gathering of troops was to attack Daibei, Bian Jing was not an idiot, so of course they had to take precautions.

Bianjing did not believe in Guo Yaoshi, and was worried that giving him money, food and weapons would increase his strength, and raising tigers would be a disaster, and the end of the future would not be lost. However, rebellions in Hebei, Shandong and other places continued, and Bianjing could not send troops to Youyan. Therefore, Bianjing was not sure whether the Youyan Town Guards could defend Yanjing. In this case, Bianjing had to use tricks to lure the Jin army to attack Daibei, provoke a war between Li Hu and the Jurchens, thereby alleviating the defensive pressure on the Yanshan line in Hebei.

The emperor gave up the Western Expedition and temporarily put aside the proposal of abolishing the legitimate and appointing the illegitimate concubines. After all, the safety of the country is the top priority.

In recent years, the Song army fought in the north and the west, and the war continued, and the riots of hungry people lasted for two years. In addition, years of natural disasters led to domestic turmoil and treasury, and the national treasury was even more exhausted, and the country's fortune was in a serious crisis. In order to resolve the crisis, the court needed money, but war, turmoil and natural disasters caused the Song Dynasty's financial income to be sharply reduced. For this reason, the court had to try its best to collect intensive taxes, which aggravated the conflict between officials and the people, and the riots became more and more serious, and the situation became worse and worse.

At this time, if the Northern Territories invade, they will give the Song Dynasty a fatal blow.

A few months ago, the reason why the court accepted the northwest strategy of Taiyuan and agreed to the Northwest Army to launch a western expedition was to solve the huge hidden danger of the Northern Escaping invasion. There were three northern Escaping that threatened the Song Dynasty, the Dangxiang people of the Western Xia, the Han people of Daibei and the Jurchen people of Liaodong, and the Han people of Daibei pose the greatest threat to the Song Dynasty.

For this reason, Bianjing couldn't wait to solve Li Hu. Just in time, Li Hu launched a war against Xia in order to deal with Bianjing; Taiyuan had to accommodate Li Hu in order to seize the imperial throne and let the Northwest Army cooperate with his attack; and the emperor of Bianjing did not hesitate to deceive the entire court in order to allow his beloved son to inherit the imperial throne, so the civil officials used the tricks, set up a trap, and successfully pushed the emperor into the trap.

Guo Yaoshi's warning, the Jin emperor promised that the Hulie Mansion threatened the Song Dynasty... and so on, the bad situation made the emperor suddenly realize that the country was in a crisis of defeat. In order to save the country's fortune, he had to make major concessions to the civil servants, and he had to rely on the strength and wisdom of the civil servants to turn the tide.

The imperial edict was issued, and Bian Jing ordered Taiyuan to cooperate with the Jin army to attack Daibei. Behind this imperial edict, there were more things hidden, such as the Western Expedition was abandoned halfway, Prince Yun and Tong Guan had to bear the responsibility of futile success in the Western Expedition, the emperor wanted to revoke the Northwest Marshal's Office to deprive Prince Yun of military power... etc., and these orders were issued, and the implementation of measures could not be carried out in a hurry, but should be carried out step by step based on Taiyuan's reaction. Wang and Tong Guan were both very strong in the Northwest. They controlled the Northwest Army. Before the imperial court divided and partially controlled the Northwest Army, they could not anger Taiyuan, so as not to lose their own straits.

In November, the court issued an order to invite Zhong Shidao, who had retired and returned home, and appointed him as the Hedong and Hebei Road Commander, who was fully responsible for the defense of the northern border. Zhong Shidao had a very high prestige in the Northwest Army, and his return could quickly divide the Northwest Army and weaken the control of the Northwest Army by Prince Yun and Tong Guan.

Of course, the purpose of this order was not as simple as it seems. Without abolishing the Xuanfu Office of Hedong, Hebei Yanshan, and dismissing Tong Guan's position as Xuanfu Envoy, the imperial court appointed Hedong and Hebei Road to the General Office, which in fact deprived Tong Guan and Xuanfu Office of the local authority. However, the imperial court did not remove Tong Guan from his face, and gave him a time to voluntarily resign, but forced Tong Guan to come to Taiyuan immediately and leave the king.

Tong Guan was originally responsible for the military affairs of Hebei and Yanshan Road in Hedong, but now the military affairs of Hebei are renamed Zhong Shidao. Then Tong Guan only needs to be responsible for the military affairs of Yanshan Road. In other words, Tong Guan had no reason to stay in Taiyuan and immediately went to Yanshan Prefecture to take charge of the command.

As soon as the imperial edict was sent out, a memorial came from Taiyuan. This memorial was Taiyuan's reaction to the first imperial edict, and Taiyuan's reaction shocked Bianjing.

Wang and Tong Guan actually went to Datong.

The reason why Wang and Tong Guan came to Datong was to personally go to the front line to command to prevent the Jin people from seizing Datong in front of the Song army.

This reason is indeed good, but it is illegal for Prince Yun to visit Datong without the emperor's consent to let himself in danger. Just imagine, if the king was caught by Li Hu or the Jurchens, the Northern Lu used his prince to threaten the Song Dynasty, which would not only make the Song Dynasty look faceless, but also seriously damage the interests of the Song Dynasty.

Why did Wang openly violate the law? Obviously, this was Tong Guan’s idea.

Tong Guan and Cai Jing have controlled power for more than 20 years, are arrogant and do whatever they want, but people always have time to grow old, thirty

In the past thirty years, the Yangtze River has pushed the previous waves, and the previous waves died on the beach, and it is time to lose. Cai Jing went all the way, but Tong Guan was no longer able to win, and his life was at its peak, and he had to follow Cai Jing's footsteps, but he obviously did not want to give up his power, so he had to take a try. His struggle pushed Bian Jing to a very dangerous situation.

As long as he is not a fool, he knows what Tong Guan's purpose is. Tong Guan is circling in the northwest and has a brilliant record. In the history of the Song Dynasty for more than 160 years, he was a powerful commander, but he was an eunuch and a eunuch, which determined his life. No matter how brilliant his record was, as long as the emperor who trusted him ascends to heaven, he would fall from the sky to the ground. Now, in order to save the country and alleviate the crisis, the emperor could not wait to extend his hand, intending to sacrifice him to win the loyalty of civil servants.

Bianjing was too regretful. If I had known this, I should have deceived Tong Guan back to the capital first.

In addition to Tong Guan caught Bian Jing off guard, Prince Yun also shocked Bian Jing in the memorial. According to Hulie Mansion, Li Hu fought a decisive battle with the Xia army in Helan Mountain, and had a great victory, annihilated more than 100,000 enemies, and is now attacking Xingqing Mansion. If this news is true, then Li Hu's strength is not weakened, but has grown again. Can such a large army retreat to Datong, and the Jin army still win? If the Jin army is defeated, what will Li Hu do next? Everyone knows that Li Hu wants to help Prince Yun seize the imperial rule. Once the king becomes the emperor, Li Hu can take power. Is the world still the Zhao Song Dynasty?

The emperor was furious. He adopted the suggestions of civil servants, thinking that killing Li Hu could save the country's fortunes, but now it seems that this is simply shooting himself in the foot. Not only did he fail to save the situation, but it worsened the situation.

All dynasties have involved the dispute over the imperial rule, and they are bloody and cruel. Fathers kill their sons, sons kill their fathers, and brothers kill each other, everywhere.

There are rumors among the people that Taizu of this dynasty died suddenly, saying that Taizu was killed by his younger brother Taizong. Of course, there is no way to know the truth, but Taizu died suddenly. From this we can see that when the king is forced to a dead end today, what else can he do besides the Jedi counterattack? Even if he is timid and afraid, how can his subordinates and ministers who are closely related to his interests be willing to retreat? At this moment, they all prosper and lose all their losses. Even for their own heads, they will fight to the end.

Who would have thought that a wrong decision not only failed to alleviate the crisis, but instead triggered a bigger crisis.

Bai Shizhong, Zhang Bangchang, Li Bangyan and others were helpless and could only curse Tong Guan secretly. They didn't know how to curse him. They knew that Tong Guan was causing trouble, but they couldn't find any handle. In comparison, Tong Guan was too powerful and played with Bian Jing in his palm.

Yuwen Xuzhong and Li Gang knew the matter of Huliu Mansion best, so the emperor asked for their opinions. The two of them looked at the angry emperor and were full of resentment. When they gave you suggestions, you didn't listen to them, and they insisted on listening to the bastards such as Bai Shizhong, Zhang Bangchang, Li Bangyan, Liang Shicheng, and Cai You. Now that things have been messed up, you ask us if we have a solution to it. We are not gods, so how can we turn the tide?

The situation is obvious now. The Jin Kingdom will definitely attack Daibei. Youyan is probably the target of the Jin Kingdom. However, the Hulie Mansion is strong, and Prince Yun and Hedong Army are also in Datong. When Li Hu withdraws his troops from Helan Mountain, Daibei is as solid as a golden rule. The Jin Kingdom will only plunder at most, and the one who poses the greatest threat to Bianjing is Li Hu.

When this war started, the incident of Bianjing betraying Daibei was exposed. Prince Yun and Li Hu were bound to use the excuse to eliminate the treacherous and lead the army to Bianjing and seize the imperial rule. Bianjing's stupidity, selfishness and short-sightedness caused great disasters. No one could solve the bitter wine he brewed by himself.

The emperor firmly refused to admit the mistakes he made. Under the current situation, the power of the Song Dynasty was in decline, no soldiers were available, and the domestic turmoil was unstable, and the northern barbarians might invade south at any time, so it was completely correct to force Li Hu to fight the Western Xia, and then provoke a war between Li Hu and the Jurchens. It was completely correct and the best way to alleviate the crisis. Is there any better way to abandon it? You think Li Hu is trustworthy at present and think that you can wait until the country is stable before solving the problem of the vassal states, but this is a wishful thinking. The Jin people must start from the north and unify the north. The Jin people must solve Li Hu, and Li Hu's strength cannot defeat the Jin people. In order to be forced to do so, Li Hu had to go south. In other words, the Jin people must provoke a war between Li Hu and the Song people, thereby creating conditions for it to unify the north. From this perspective, are there any mistakes in the decision-making of Bian Jing?
