Chapter 1180 The Heir

Luoyang.

There was a fast horse galloping from the west, rushing all the way into the city without slowing down, scaring pedestrians to run away.

"Urgent report! Urgent report!"

Running all the way to the Jinglue Mansion, the knight on the horse stumbled and rushed in, and stopped when he saw Boyan.

"Urgent report... The Tang army has left Tongguan and is attacking Shanzhou City..."

Boyan was discussing important matters with others. After hearing the battle report, he was silent for a moment and turned to look at the map.

It is expected that the Tang army will enter the bandits and go to Henan.

The preparations that should be made have also been done. There are not many tactical methods except for defending with strong walls and clear fields.Li Xia is a very stable opponent who rarely makes mistakes or leaves flaws.

If Boyan wants to increase his chances of winning in a short period of time, the first thing to deal with is the many troubles within Meng Yuan.

"Now with the support of Prime Minister Boyan, His Highness is sure to win."

Like thinking about what news to say and what not to.

Obviously, Shi Ji did not tell them the false news.

"Boss!"

At the end, he added a sentence, saying: "Mong Gela still wants to fight for the throne, but his power is already far behind His Highness."

This time, let Li Xia win, just drive them out of the Central Plains.But if the other side wins, the lessons learned from Meng Ge and Gui You, Kublai Khan and Brother Ali Bu are there.

Although he stood there motionless, his mind was already full of battles between heaven and man.

Shang Wen understood this meaning, he was recommended by Liu Bingzhong, and if he came forward, others would regard it as Liu Bingzhong's opinion, more people would agree with him, and the momentum would be greater.

The literati in the north usually look down on the Song Dynasty, but they really encountered a similar problem to the Song Dynasty. In fact, they even quoted Zhao Pu's words.

He and Shangwen finally persuaded Boyan to support Zhenjin.

When he said this, he kept his gaze fixed on Boyan, a little defensive.

"Give it back to him?"

The two of them stopped chatting in a tacit understanding.

"That's Ahema, not some Hanchen." He Wei reminded in a low voice: "Prime Minister, you can only make a choice."

Shangwen's first reaction was to frown, and secretly said in his heart, "Don't come sooner, don't come later".

With no possibility of reconciliation, Boyan had to make a choice.

Shang Wen nodded and said, "The fake news released by Brother Mang?"

"This is my statement, please the real gold prince supervise the country."

"Please."

He has been in a bad mood recently, and there is a coldness in his eyes.

Shi Ji asked softly: "He Wei told him the news?"

~~
The next day, Zhenjin held a court meeting.

The two of them reached Beicheng, when they suddenly saw a Juechen riding in front of them.

Shang Wen understood Shi Ji's meaning better and asked, "What does the commander want me to do?"

Boyan waved his hand helplessly, and sighed: "There is no need to say more, hurry back to see His Highness as soon as possible."

What it really means is that Boyan publicly declared that he has become a true gold party.

He Wei himself judged in the same way, and nodded when he heard the words, but still said: "What I'm afraid of is the firearms in Li Xia's army."

……

"When the situation is dangerous, if Ahema can't unite with us to resist Li Xia, Dayuan may be driven out of the Central Plains. This is a situation that neither he nor Manggela want to see."

"Really...really?" he asked in a low voice.

"Commander Shi said that it may be false. If His Majesty is fine, he should have returned it long ago. It may be the fake news released by Manggela."

True gold is worthy of being produced by Han Confucianism. Today's court meeting is much more dignified than before. Mongolian and Han ministers are arranged in two rows, neat and orderly.

He didn't say clearly whether the rest refers to helping Shang Wen with his promotion, or he meant something else.

With this thought in his mind, Shangwen couldn't hold it down anymore.

"Commander, Duke Shang is back.

However, after thinking about it, he was very sad again, and asked, "Then...the news?"

Over there, the Tang army has already left Tongguan, and the flags on the Weihan Passage are waving, and the battle has already begun; here, Shangwen is on the road all night, rushing back to Kaiping at starry night.

"Commander." Soon, Shang Wen strode in. The first thing he did was to put Boyan's memorial on Shi Ji's desk, and said, "Bo Yan has made his statement."

Standing among the officials, Shangwen peeked at the crowd, but couldn't see anything amiss from the faces of the Mongolian and Semu officials, as well as the princes of the Jinlianchuan shogunate.

"Things are dead, but people are alive. Dayuan only needs to solve the problem of storing positions. Once the country is stable, the world will be stable. If an old husband wants to fight against the outside world, he must first settle inside."

At that time, news of the disappearance of the real gold spread to the Western Regions, and Mangge led his troops back to fight for the reserve position immediately. This incident tore through the cover and put the battle for the throne on the table.

The next step is to resist the Tang army's offensive, then the prestige of the prince Jian Guo will be at the peak of the sky, and even thousands of households in the Gela army will switch over.

Along the way, Shangwen was imagining the great situation in the future.

Shi Ji first read Boyan's memorial, and then asked Shang Wen, "What do you think of this matter?"

In the Yingyingwei yamen, Shi Ji sat there looking at each piece of information, his face became more and more ugly.

"It's the news from Commander Shi who came back from Kaiping, saying that His Majesty has been found north of Yinshan Mountain and is on his way back to Kaiping..."

Shangwen couldn't help admiring Boyan from the bottom of his heart.

"No wonder Your Majesty promotes the prime minister when he sees him. The prime minister is a capable minister who is truly loyal to the Great Yuan."

Shi Ji turned his head to look at the door. Shang Wen hadn't come in yet, but he didn't look away, but was thinking about things.

Boyan worked hard for a long time, hoping to suspend the battle for the throne between Zhenjin and Manggela, so that the Yuan court could focus on the immediate battle, but he was disappointed.

He Wei's heart fell back into his stomach.

Everyone understands that the best opportunity is ahead, and this is a life-and-death struggle.Perhaps in the eyes of these two factions, the other party is more dangerous than Li Xia.

Then he looked at Zhen Jin, and saw that the young Jian Guo prince had a calm face and peaceful eyes, and he seemed to be indifferent and bright.

His eyes widened, revealing an expression of disbelief and panic.

He Wei asked: "What about Prime Minister Boyan's memorial? Do you want to return it to him?"

Shangwen hesitated for a moment, but quickly made a decision, pretending not to know, and said, "What's the decision, gentlemen?"

He Wei asked: "I have a certain chance of winning against Mangge, so what about Li Xia?"

"Ridiculous, is this something a courtier can say?!"

Therefore, his eyes stayed on the map for a while, and after giving several orders to fight, his mind returned to the topic he had just discussed with He Wei.

"Li Xia? Oh, Zhong Yun is talking about war. Li Xia's time to establish a country is still short, and the national use is not enough to support a long-term battle. What's more, going out with troops and horses is not like defending, and it costs more than ten times the money and food. Therefore, the Song Dynasty He repeatedly sent troops to the north, but they all returned in disastrous defeat. Prime Minister Boyan only needs to defend Henan for two or three months, and then Li Xia will retreat."

Facing He Wei's gaze, he sighed helplessly, and said, "Go and invite Shang Wen, I agree to let His Royal Highness supervise the country."

"As expected, the princes have said earlier that Boyan will definitely support His Highness."

There was joy in He Wei's eyes.

"Since Mangge can release false news, it can be seen that he must want to fight for the throne. I think the crown prince is just a supervisor of the country, not enough to stabilize the situation. He should ascend the throne first."

He Wei sent Shangwen out of Beicheng.

He Wei said: "Ahema's attitude is very clear. He has been at odds with His Royal Highness the crown prince, and it can even be said that there is a deep grudge. If the prince is allowed to supervise the country, Ahema would rather go back to Hara with Mangela or Namhan. He Lin."

A messenger who controlled the Eagle Guard rushed to He Wei's side like flying, and began to report with his ear.

Shangwen turned his head again, and finally saw subtle expressions on the faces of several young people that were extremely difficult to detect.

"Now that the Tang army has entered the bandits, the situation is critical. Please His Royal Highness agree to join forces with the Song State to defeat the powerful enemy together, and send generals to Shanxi to seize the power of Ahema."

First of all, Boyan's memorial was read out, and Zhenjin was invited to formally supervise the country.

~~
Kaiping.

He Wei watched Boyan deploy the defense with his own eyes, and had great confidence in him.

In fact, without Boyan's memorial, the real gold would already be in charge of the country.

For a moment, He Wei lost his composure.

Shangwen was already excited about this matter.

This will definitely be a Mingjun who can implement the Han system.

Of course, things have come to this point, and there are not many choices left...

He invited Shangwen aside and whispered about the matter.

Therefore, Boyan is extremely important, not only representing some important Mongolian ministers, but also the most important commander in defense of Henan.

He Wei nodded, but was a little surprised by Shang Wen's resolute attitude, thinking that literati sometimes fight to the death even compared to military generals.

Shi Ji said: "You are all old, and you are a little timid in your actions."

After a while, when Shangwen arrived in the lobby, Boyan had already written a memorial, and handed it to Shangwen after a little hesitation.

"No, I agreed with him not to tell Prime Minister Boyan for the time being."

Staring at Shang Wen's reaction, Shi Ji seemed to finally see something, nodded and let him listen.

"You are a student of Secretary Cong, you have outstanding talents, and you should take on important responsibilities." Shi Ji moved closer, and said again: "Is it okay for you to persuade me to come in?"

Shi Ji lowered his voice and said, "I mean, have you heard the news?"

Shi Ji said: "If you are willing to be promoted, leave the rest to me."

"Good is good."

He added another chair in front of Kublai Khan's chair, sat there and watched, and Liu Bingzhong presided over it.

Shang Wen shook his head and said: "I will rush back to Kaiping as fast as I can, and we will talk with Commander Shi later."

The court meeting was still going on, and finally, when Liu Bingzhong had dealt with several important matters one after another, Shang Wen suddenly stood up.

"The minister has a book to play."

All eyes turned to him.

Shang Wen calmed down and said: "The so-called country cannot be without a king for a day. I think it is not enough for the prince to supervise the country. He should ascend the throne..."
