There are several gardens located in Xilin Bridge north and south of Lin'an City, and the water bamboo courtyard is an excellent place to watch the lake. Now that winter passes, Su Di is like a late spring messenger. Willows are sandwiched between the shore, bright peaches, and the lake waves are like mirrors, reflecting the beautiful shadows and infinite tenderness. The most touching thing is that when the morning light is first revealed, the breeze blows gently, and the willows are rolling and floating, making people feel more comfortable.

This water bamboo courtyard is one of the private gardens of Jia Sidao, the prime minister of the Lizong Dynasty. After his death, he changed hands several times and passed through the Mongolian Yuan. At this moment, a middle-aged scholar in Guanhu Pavilion looked at the rippling lake water and the drifting cruise ship from afar, but it seemed that such a beautiful scenery could not arouse his interest, and his face was always filled with a look of melancholy.

"My husband, I'm in great interest today!" At this time, two brothers came, and one of them bowed to him.

"Zhide, Guo Zuo is here, sit here!" Chen Yizhong seemed relieved and asked the two to sit down in the pavilion.

"My husband, there are a lot of things happening recently, so don't blame me for visiting you in the future." Yao Liangchen sat down and bowed.

"What's the matter with Zhide? It's better to be cautious. That little emperor is very terrifying. If we find that we have contacts, we will be wary!" Chen Yizhong waved his hand.

"He lived in Wuhu for more than a month but did not return. I thought he was sick, but he was afraid he would not save his life. How could he take care of the affairs of the capital?" Wei Tianzhong said indifferently.

"Don't take it lightly. Recently, I always feel uneasy. He seems to be alert, so he should be more cautious." Chen Yizhong lowered his face and said.

"Well, my husband said it right. I also feel that someone is monitoring us. There are many more strangers around the mansion these days." Yao Liangchen also said.

"You are so worried. Now that officials from all over the city are frequently entering Beijing, it is not an exaggeration to see everywhere. We all recognize it." Wei Tianzhong said uneasy, "Now Lu Xiufu is going to Fuzhou and Zhang Shijie is going to Jiangyin. Only Wen Tianxiang is left in the court to preside over the government affairs. Daily official duties make him busy, so how can he have time to take care of us?"

"No, I always feel that it is false to be sick for the little emperor, and he is even in the capital, otherwise our actions will be restrained everywhere!" Chen Yizhong shook his head and said, "We first took advantage of the fact that the Western Expedition was not in the capital, and the Empress Dowager was far away in Qiongzhou to find the Prince of Yiyang. Just as they wanted to build it up, the tabloids began to attack him in groups, not to mention the fact that the Prince of Yiyang was completely destroyed, and all his efforts were wasted."

"Oh, the Prince of Yiyang is also a person who cannot support the wall. He doesn't know how to check on the spot on weekdays. He was caught by the tabloids and pursued him relentlessly, becoming a joke in the capital. He deserves it. He still doesn't know how to restrain himself. He doesn't even talk about eating and drinking every day, but he is greedy. The monthly expenses are not enough. Yesterday, he sent someone to ask us for money." Yao Liangchen sighed.

"My husband, since this person is useless, why not abandon him so as not to involve us!" Wei Tianzhong also said.

"Do you still have to find someone who is like a little emperor? Whether he can be at our mercy? Eating and drinking is not a big deal. Just be obedient and strictly restrained in the future. If you don't listen, you will reduce his supply. But you still have to try to justify his reputation, which may be useful." Chen Yizhong sighed and said.

"What I said is! But we were just trying to use the war to provoke new disputes, trigger turmoil in the court, and weaken people's attention to the Prince of Yiyang. Who knew that the Mongolian Yuan suddenly increased its troops in Taixing, and the situation turned over again. The tabloids published the old stories of the Tatars doing evil in Jiangnan, which aroused hatred between the two countries, and made us lose our efforts. But the incompetent Prince of Yiyang heard that the Tartars were coming, and they were going to run away with the money. If they hadn't watched it tightly, they would have succeeded. They were far worse than the little emperor. I thought that he dared to go into battle in person at the age of five..." Wei Tianzhong said with a wry smile.

"Cough cough..." Yao Liangchen coughed twice, interrupting Wei Tianzhong's complaint, "And the people we were looking for were good in writing, but lacked experience, wrote plainly, and were all clichés. They were not opponents of those tabloids, and no one was willing to read them. If it weren't for the temptation of a lot of money, those tabloids would not be published!"

"I see that "Lin'an Information" is the most popular. Both the writing style and sales exceed other tabloids. Why not use them? As long as you can get things done, what's wrong?" Chen Yizhong said with a little blame.

"My husband, we can't bear to give up money. Do you know who did "Lin'an Information"?" Yao Liangchen and Wei Tianzhong looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

"Who is it? Could it be that it is still a person from the court!" Chen Yizhong said in a little puzzled manner.

"That is the property of the little emperor. The people in charge of the Hanlin Academy are all over the place. There are many talents, so how can others be the opponent?" Yao Liangchen shook his head helplessly.

"But it is the same as "Qiongzhou Information"?" Chen Yizhong asked after hearing this.

"That's right, my husband knows it too!" Yao Liangchen nodded and said.

"Well, this "Qiongzhou Information" has merchants brought to Chameng City. The survivors of our court who took refuge there often buy back at all costs in order to get news about the news of the dynasty!" Chen Yizhong nodded and said, "With it, it is like opening countless mouths. You can say the white ones to black ones. If you want to destroy anyone, you don't have to do anything. The scolding will make people angry!"

"That's right, we finally moved public opinion, but we were disturbed by the Tartars again. If they came later, it would not be the end!" Wei Tianzhong said with a heartache, "Now the Tartars' military soldiers are close to Lin'an. Now, it is propaganda that not only the people who join the army are very active, but the students of the Imperial College enrolled in the letter to join the army, and the scholars who came to Beijing to prepare for the exam have also applied to join the army, which is simply a mess."

"Oh, I underestimated the little emperor. Being able to react so quickly means that he is not sick at all, and he is even hiding in the capital!" Chen Yizhong sighed softly. He claimed to be a skillful person but was defeated by a child again, and he was still extremely unhappy in his heart.

"It's unlikely. The official documents sent to Wuhu by the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat must be issued every day, but now they are issued every five days, which means that the young emperor is no longer able to manage government affairs and can only handle some urgent tasks. And I have also tried that there are only petites on the back text, but the annotations are not his work. They should be fakes, and they should not be fakes. In addition, if there is a war, they will always come to the front of the battle. The spy we arranged did not find the movement of the imperial boat, but was still on the Wuhu Inner Harbor Pier. At this moment, only Zhang Shijie went to command the troops." Yao Liangchen shook his head and said.

"Hiss...he won't see through our plan, right?" Chen Yizhong still didn't believe it and said without giving up his suspicion.

"What plan?" Wei Tianzhong asked anxiously.

"It's okay to tell you now." Chen Yizhong knew that he had made a mistake, and took a sip of water and was silent for a moment, "I left Chameng last year. Because I had a gap with the little emperor, I did not return to the court, but returned to my hometown..."

Although Chen Yizhong said it easily now, he actually had trouble. He led his army to travel to Chameng in the name of exploring the way, and he began to think well. Chameng had always been a vassal state of the Song Dynasty. He often sent envoys to pay tribute. The two countries had close ties, but that was already in the past. People did not welcome their arrival. Think about it, you brought hundreds of Chameng and tens of thousands of soldiers to attack, so you were allowed to go ashore after you took them weapons and took care of them separately. In fact, they had been controlled.

At this point, Chen Yizhong realized that he would not even see the king of Cham City, let alone borrowing troops. He then heard that Emperor Jing Yan died of illness, and all the ministers supported King Wei as the emperor. He then defeated Zhang Hongfan in Yashan and moved to Qiongzhou to settle down. But he understood that King Wei was not as easy to fool with Emperor Jing Yan, and he had conflicts with him many times. In addition, he did not return and had no good results when he returned, so he stayed in Cham City.

If the Mongol Yuan had not attacked Cham City, Chen Yizhong might have settled his house here. After the war broke out, everything was disrupted. He and his accompanying personnel were all incorporated into the army. Even he had to wear armor and go to battle, but he was still defeated. The Mongols also heard that the prime minister of the Song Dynasty was here and asked Cham City to hand over his subordinates, which made him feel frightened. Later, although the Mongolian army retreated, he did not dare to stay and traveled to the southeastern countries.

The unrestrained life made Chen Yizhong miss home more and more, and the money he brought back then would be exhausted, so he sneaked back to his hometown and contacted his former colleague Liu Mengyan, hoping to get shelter. But not long after, the Song army began the Northern Expedition, quickly occupied the entire Jiangnan, and began to search for former traitors and helpers, but the end was extremely tragic. He also realized that as long as the little emperor was in power, he might be caught at any time. If he wanted to survive, he would either go abroad or take power again.

The family couldn't stay, so Chen Yizhong began to contact old officials who were in a similar situation as him. After moving to Lin'an, he followed him to Beijing and contacted his confidants at that time. Under his temptation, people who were already dissatisfied with the little emperor formed a group with him and planned how to replace the little emperor and build an obedient new king. Then he could not only escape the disaster, but also regain power.

With the addition of Yao Liangchen and Wei Tianzhong, their strength was strengthened, and the suffering was that there was no military man to support their "major plan". Chen Yizhong knew that it would be difficult to drive the little emperor off the throne without the support of force, so he had to try to achieve his goal with the help of external forces. The only one who could pose a threat to the little emperor at the moment was Meng Yuan. At this time, Liu Mengyan sent a letter saying that the Queen Mother Nanbi of the Mongolian Yuan was interested in peace and hoped that he could mediate from it.

Chen Yizhong was overjoyed when he saw this. He knew that the people of the Southern Song Dynasty were unwilling to fight in the north. Jiangnan had just recovered, and it was the time when the people were determined to be dead. He felt that the people were willing to be willing to be there. At this moment, the position of the Mongol Khan was not yet determined and he was still in the midst of the struggle. The real gold had no time to look south; Empress Nanbi was in charge of the capital and obeyed the affairs of the Song army. In the face of the unstoppable attack, she made a mistake in the face of the unstoppable attacks of the Song army, and even lost Jiangnan.

The Mongolian Yuan court implemented the "poverty in the south of the Yangtze River and rich in the north of the border". The Jiangbei area basically became the Mongol pastures. The agriculture was greatly damaged, so it was impossible to implement self-sufficiency. All money and food were supplied from the south. Now that the Jiangnan financial resources were not delivered for only one year, their finances were extremely tight. The outside of the border lost the subsidies from the court, and military food became a problem.

In fact, according to the tradition of the Mongolians, they have always regarded the Han area as the target of plunder, and they do not care about gains and losses, and they only want wealth. So someone urged him to send troops to retake Jiangnan. It would be better to let Song imitate the Goryeo example and let them become their own vassal states and pay tribute every year. Wouldn't it be a killing of two birds with one stone? So they sent the former prime minister of the Song court to help Meng Yan to match him and find Chen Yizhong. The two hit it off, and he wanted to take the opportunity to provoke the government and return to the court himself.

Chen Yizhong originally planned to let the Mongolian army send troops to Taixing to attack Jiangnan in order to cooperate with his propaganda and reach a peace agreement naturally. Unexpectedly, he backfired, and instead let the young emperor take the opportunity to fight back and completely disrupt his plan. However, he could not take the responsibility on himself at the moment, so he pushed it to Mengyuan, saying that it was because he stayed Mengyan and did not forget the old dynasty, and wanted to promote peace talks to protect half of Jiangnan...

"Okay, with the cooperation of keeping a secret, great things can be accomplished!" Yao Liangchen applauded after hearing this.

"However, with the character of the little emperor, it may be difficult to negotiate." Wei Tianzhong said unhappyly.

"Not necessarily, the little emperor is just now. The empress dowager still needs to approve military and national affairs. As long as we convince the empress dowager, we will not worry about the big things going on!" Yao Liangchen waved his hand.

"Well, Zhide's words are reasonable." Chen Yizhong said, "We should present a letter of the people to the Empress Dowager as soon as possible to explain the significance, and then let the Empress Dowager be appointed as the peacekeeper, so that he will not be afraid that the young emperor will dare to disobey the imperial edict!"

"The Empress Dowager has been ignoring political affairs for many years, and the young emperor has the final say. If the Empress Dowager doesn't follow, what can we do?" Wei Tianzhong said.

"I supported them on that day, and naturally there was a way to abolish them. Don't forget that they had deposed Empress Dowager Xie and Emperor Deyou, and except for their clan, they naturally lost their orthodox." Chen Yizhong curled his lips and said contemptuously, as if he had deposed an emperor himself just a matter of holding it in his hands.

"Well, what my husband said is that if he had no support from him, how could he be the queen mother?" Yao Liangchen said, "The queen mother Yang has never liked to participate in political affairs and had no idea. In the past, they all followed her husband's opinions. As long as the young emperor was eliminated, he would have no support. Why worry about the big thing not being done!"

"Yes, I'll ask someone to write a letter together to recommend my husband to Pingzhang as a military and national affairs, and to preside over the peace talks!" Wei Tianzhong said.

"I have no virtue and can take on this important task? Let's slow down this matter. Let's discuss how to reach a peace agreement first. In addition, more and more people are joining us, and they consume a lot. We have to trouble you to try to raise some!" Chen Yizhong said. It was not that he did not want to return to the court, but that he felt that it was not the time and he would show up later to avoid alarming the enemy.
