Qiming 1158

Chapter 512 The Thunder Rain Dew Gear is God's Grace
Zhang Jun is a hardcore Northern Expedition sect, a soul of the Northern Expedition sect who is a minority among the main war sects and is unpopular.

Once he holds great power, he will definitely take the promotion of the Northern Expedition as the highest goal. If he succeeds, the Lord Peace faction will not be happy, and most people in the main war faction will not be happy either.

The Northern Expedition faction can be classified into the main war faction, but the mainstream of the main war faction has been the active defensive faction since Yue Fei's death.

The so-called active defense group means that they hope that the political and military situation will maintain the status quo.

The North can refuse it and give it to Jin Guo, but if Jin Guo wants to go south and bully Da Song, then everyone will fight with each other and see who has a tough neck.

Huainan is the last bottom line.

In fact, the main body of this group of people is the Southern scholar-bureaucrats who are not willing to accept Jin Guo's humiliation.

Like most of the people of the Lord's Harmony faction, they are all southerners, but they have different attitudes towards dealing with Jin Guo.

The Northern Expedition faction, like the surrender faction, belongs to the minority and alternative groups among the main warlords and the two factions.

Moreover, compared with the surrender factions with more mouths and soft eggs, the Northern Expedition factions with stronger action and generally hard bones are more worthy of the vigilance of most people.

Because this is a group of people who want to deplete the interests of the southern literati to regain the lost land in the north for the Song Emperor, in the eyes of the southern literati, they are pure shit.

Use my financial, material and human resources to retake the lost land for the emperor, and then distribute the power in hand to those northerners?

Co-authoring with me can't get any benefits and still has half the power to post back?

Wouldn't I be kneeling begging for food?

Can this be tolerated?
This is of course unbearable, so the success of the Northern Expedition is not only what the enemy does not want to see, but also may not be what our own people want to see.

Right now, Zhang Jun, the soul of the Northern Expedition faction, is about to return to the king and take charge of the great power. In this unprecedented military crisis, he is engaged in the Northern Expedition project, which immediately makes more than half of the civil and military officials nervous.

Everyone is watching Zhao Gou's final appointment.

However, at a stall that no one noticed, Wang Lun, the new head of the Privy Council, secretly met with Zhao Gou, and counted the money and materials needed for the defensive operations of the Jinbing in case of going south and the money and food needed once the Northern Expedition was launched. The material statistics and comparison were handed over to Zhao Gou.

As soon as the order to summon Zhang Jun back to Lin'an was issued, Wang Lun secretly organized his subordinates to make these two documents, because he thought it would be useful sooner or later.

Sure enough, it is now in use.

Zhao Gou looked at the two documents and rubbed his temples, which were a little swollen.

"Deyan, what do you want to say, just say it."

Wang Lun nodded.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I just want to say that the Northern Expedition is Zhang Deyuan's long-cherished wish. Once this person is in power, he will not be willing to just defend Jianghuai. He will definitely go north to attack the Central Plains. Naturally, there are a lot of things to do, and if you fail, the situation will only get worse.

This minister is not against the imperial court's northern expedition. I also hope that the imperial court can succeed in the northern expedition and return to the old capital. However, Your Majesty, Zhang Jun has repeatedly been defeated by the golden bandits. The defeat of Fuping in the past has buried all the elites of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty, and Guanzhong has fallen to the enemy. If you lose again, things will be bad. "

Zhao Gou put the two documents sent by Wang Lun aside, and looked at Wang Lun with a pair of shining eyes.

"Deyan, if you don't let me use Zhang Jun, I will use you. You are a privy envoy. Can you advise me, lead the army, and defeat the gold lord's southern invasion?"

Zhao Gou asked Wang Lun a little by surprise.

He thought about his own abilities, and suddenly felt that if he took up this important task, basically the old family would be able to wait in line for dinner.

"Your Majesty, my minister...I have not been tempered by battle, and I am afraid that I will fail your majesty's entrustment..."

So he faltered, lacked confidence, and shied away a little.

Zhao Gou sneered.

"What about your deputy? Ye Yi asks, is it okay? Is Zhou Linzhi okay?"

Wang Lun swallowed.

"They... they have not been in battle, and they are inexperienced, and they may be entrusted by His Majesty..."

"Humph!"

Zhao Gou sneered and said: "When you don't need you, all of you talk freely and have the world in mind. All of them are the reincarnation of Marquis Wu and the successor of Zhuge. Take the blame!"

"His Majesty……"

Wang Lun was a little scared.

"Although Zhang Jun has many problems and has lost battles, there is only one thing that makes him stronger than you. If I let him go to the battlefield, he will not shirk."

Zhao Gou said dissatisfiedly: "When the Golden Lord's army is overwhelming, you want me not to use Zhang Jun, okay, I don't need Zhang Jun, who are you? Huh?"

Wang Lun knelt on the ground with a plop and pleaded guilty to Zhao Gou.

"Your Majesty's forgiveness! This minister is confused!"

"You are confused!"

Zhao Gou said angrily: "Who do you think the content of the conversation between Zhang Jun and I spread? Who do you think let everyone know that I want to reuse Zhang Jun?"

Wang Lun was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Zhao Gou in amazement.

"Your Majesty, you..."

"Confused! Too confused!"

Zhao Gou stood up and walked in front of Wang Lun, staring at him and said: "You think I don't know how dangerous and troublesome the Northern Expedition is? You think I don't know what Zhang Jun is thinking? You think I don't know what Zhang Jun will do Danger?
The defeat of Fuping, and the Huaixi military change, I remember every scene in my heart. I was not kidding when I said that I would rather subjugate my country than Zhang Jun, but at least you gave me more choices!
As long as there is a reliable person, I will not use him!But only he dares to lead troops north to fight the enemy for me. I hope you can stand up, can you?do you dare?I am afraid that I will not be captured by the gold master at that time, and you will all kneel on the ground and become big gold loyal ministers! "

Zhao Gou became angrier the more he talked, and at the end he was just roaring.

Wang Lun was startled, and was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty! This minister is loyal to Da Song and His Majesty! Never mind! Never mind!"

"When did I say you have a second heart?"

Zhao Gou rolled his eyes and sighed: "I'm just telling you, I know everything you think, and it's very clear."

"That……"

Wang Lun raised his head and looked at Zhao Gou carefully: "Your Majesty, about Zhang Deyuan..."

"Even you are not willing to let him succeed, what should I worry about?"

Zhao Gou sighed, walked back to his throne and sat down: "Zhang Jun has no foundation in the court, and although he has many followers, he does not hold great power. After I tested it, all of you panicked. He was sloppy, for fear that he would succeed in the Northern Expedition.

If you are in charge of the Privy Council, what will happen to the others?How many people will cooperate with him?How many people will act in favor of yin and disobey, and secretly ruin his affairs?With you here, what should I worry about?German, what do you say? "

Looking at Zhao Gou's smiling expression, Wang Lun only felt that there were [-] alpacas racing past in his heart.

These words seem to be acknowledging their professional ability, but there is a sense of scolding in it.

The emperor is scolding me?
Wang Lun didn't want to admit it, but he didn't dare to react.

After a while, he laughed and said, "Your Majesty said yes."

"Go."

Zhao Gou waved his hand: "Remember, if the gold master goes south, at least until Zhang Jun repels the gold master, don't make trouble."

"I... know."

Wang Lun bowed again, and then slowly exited the palace.

After leaving the palace, a gust of cold wind blew Wang Lun's official uniform involuntarily.

After walking a few steps and reaching the gate of the palace, Wang Lun's footsteps slowed down.

A strange feeling began to fill the depths of his heart.

He realized that Zhang Jun was a tool in Zhao Gou's heart, an emergency tool. If it weren't for the fact that the Jin army was persecuting too much, and the hundreds of thousands of troops going south to force Zhao Gou to be too scared, he would not let him at all. Zhang Jun is back.

Zhang Jun was never the person he needed, but he couldn't. He had to make use of Zhang Jun's rich military experience.

Despite this, he was also very cautious with Zhang Jun. Before appointing him, he gave him a shackle, so that everyone would be vigilant against him, be prepared to do bad things to him, and completely remove himself.

His Majesty the Emperor has been able to stand firm in the throne and stand firm in the decades of ups and downs, and he still has some skills, even if his mind is a little too dark.

Poor Zhang Jun thought that he had scored twice and had a chance to be embarrassed, but he didn't know that his re-emergence was a conspiracy from beginning to end, and it was also a tragedy.

Thinking of this, Wang Lun felt more and more cold and windy, tightened his clothes again, and quickened the pace of leaving.

On the second day after this, Zhao Gou issued an order to appoint Zhang Jun, a meritorious veteran, as a political counselor, partner with Chen Kangbo, and enter the highest decision-making level in the Southern Song Dynasty.

In one day, Zhang Jun rose from a fringe exile in a remote place to the sky, completed a magnificent counterattack, and became a powerful figure in the Song Empire.

Zhao Gou gave Zhang Jun a mansion in the city of Lin'an, where every inch of land is so precious. He gave him professional servants, gardeners, housekeepers, and cooks. He was equipped with top-level living facilities, and he was waiting for Zhang Jun's family to move in and become that mansion. master and enjoy a happy life.

And when Zhang Jun's family came to the entrance of the mansion by car, how could they not feel emotional when they looked at the luxurious and high-end mansion, at the splendid main entrance and the guards who raised their chests up?

Zhang Jun's eyes were red with tears in his eyes, he knelt down in the direction of the palace, supported by his family, kowtowed three times, and said in a trembling voice: "My minister Zhang Jun, thank you for your grace, Your Majesty treats this minister so kindly, why is this minister? Do you dare to do your best for Your Majesty?"

Then Zhang Jun's whole family knelt down and thanked the palace in front of everyone's eyes, and put on a full political posture, and then they entered this luxurious mansion together, surrounded by people who like Zhang Jun or who admire him. Residence.

At noon that day, Zhang Jun held a banquet in the large living room to entertain the main fighting faction participants.

They were either old or young, and they had different views on the main battle and the Northern Expedition, but at this moment, when Wanyanliang insulted the Southern Song Dynasty and threatened to attack the Southern Song Dynasty, they all agreed.

Resolutely fight back, defend the dignity of Da Song and all people with lofty ideals, and let the gold master Wanyanliang know that the officials of Da Song are not cowards!

With Zhang Jun's leadership, the people with lofty ideals felt as if they had reached the pinnacle of their lives. Some of the attendees wrote poems on the spot with a splash of ink and ink, praising the grand event of the main war faction as the great Song Guoyun embarked on a glorious road. turning point.

Zhang Jun was very happy, laughed, drank a lot of wine, and finally got drunk.

The relevant news was sent to the palace. After Zhao Gou found out, he just smiled and didn't take it seriously.

And the relevant news is sent to other imperial institutions, of course, it is also a situation where some people are happy and others are worried.

In the Privy Council, Ye Yiwen and Zhou Linzhi were a bit sour about this.

"Because of a crime, he moved to the left for more than ten years, and he directly served as a political counselor not long after he returned to the court. He was ranked as Zaifu. His Majesty's favor for Zhang Jun is too much."

Ye Yiwen commented on the documents reported to the Privy Council, and expressed his stance on this. His words were full of sourness.

Zhou Linzhi was not much better.

"It is estimated that the political affairs are not the final result. We all know that the officials hope that Zhang Xianggong can lead the army to fight, and maybe he will be given a higher position. Taking a step back, it is not impossible to take charge of the Privy Council. At that time, the three of us are afraid that we are not going to abdicate and let the sages!"

These words are yin and yang, and anyone can smell the lemon smell inside.

The two of them kept saying sour words, but Wang Lun, who was serious about the Privy Council, didn't say anything, just a trance-like appearance, which surprised the other two.

"Pivot phase?"

"Pivot phase?"

Ye Yiwen and Zhou Linzhi looked at Wang Lun strangely and asked about their origins.

Wang Lun came back to his senses.

"Ah? What's wrong?"

"Shu Prime Minister, Zhang Jun has been favored and ascended to the sky one step at a time in one day. That's really a matter of ascending to the Heaven's Hall for Tian Shelang at dusk. Don't you worry? The officials called Zhang Jun back to fight the war. The three of us will not Studying military affairs, I'm afraid that I'm not going to abdicate and let the virtuous!"

Zhou Linyi looked at Wang Lun with an unhappy face, and he had the attitude of "You don't care if your house is stolen."

But he didn't expect Wang Lun's reaction to be very weak, he just nodded slightly, sighed "Thunder and rain gear is a gift from heaven", and then immersed himself in dealing with the affairs of the Privy Council.

This made Ye Yiwen and Zhou Linyi look puzzled, not knowing why.
