Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 347 Confrontation
In the front hall of Tai Chi, the little emperor dragged Shen Zhezi and chattered for a long time, as if he wanted to vomit all the depression he had encountered in the past period of time in one breath.From the atrocities committed by the rebels to the protection of Liu Chao and other Taiwan officials, of course the most resentful thing is the poor food, and the most talked about is the many delicacies that he tasted at Shen's house earlier.

Regarding this point, Shen Zhezi can also see that the emperor's body has shrunk sharply since he was a child.It's just that now he has no way to satisfy the little emperor's appetite, not to mention that Nanyuan has been burned, even if it is still there, it is impossible to find those beautiful things that the little emperor will never forget.

Probably the more people lack something, the more they like something.Food and sex, people are pure and good.A person like Shen Zhezi who is so calculating all day long, with a family of millions of dollars, and a beautiful maidservant is at his fingertips, but he doesn't really feel the temptation and joy of these two things that trigger his instinct.Seeing his brother-in-law swallowing his saliva when he talked about food, and forgetting all family and state affairs, Shen Zhezi liked him even more.As for the other brother-in-law Langya King Sima Yue, Shen Zhezi didn't think much of him.

Shen Zhezi didn't intend to, and there was no need to guide the little emperor on the path of Mingjun. If this kid really sincerely loves to enjoy life, he would be happy to satisfy it, and it would be unnecessary to add too much unbearable burden and pressure to him.

After more than half an hour, the little emperor leaned on the imperial bed and fell asleep. Shen Zhezi ordered the palace people to send the emperor back to the bedroom, and then he walked out and turned to the Taiji East Hall on the side.

At this time in the East Hall, the important ministers from the Taiwan Province, including Director Wang, had been waiting for a long time. Some people gradually showed impatience on their faces, and looked at Zhong Ya frequently, hoping that he could go and urge him again, but Zhong Ya sat quietly at the table. , chatting with Liu Chao occasionally, without looking at the faces of everyone.

When everyone's endurance gradually reached its peak, Shen Zhezi finally walked in.He didn't even bother to pretend to be in a hurry, walked in leisurely, and said to everyone, "Thank you for your time."

After all, he sat in the nearest vacant seat, and did not try to force himself to be the top seat.

Although everyone was dissatisfied, it was not easy to confront them face to face at this moment, and there were really too many questions in their hearts that Shen Zhezi needed to answer.It's just that thinking of Shen Zhezi's tough style after entering Taicheng, he didn't know how to ask for a moment.

The atmosphere in the hall was silent for a moment, and in the end it was Lu Ye of Wu County who took the lead and said: "I was trapped in the capital and looked forward to the king's teacher for a long time. I really didn't expect that it was Wei Zhou who returned to the capital first. Wei Zhou was not as weak as the crown, and he accepted the king's order for nothing. This immeasurable achievement really amazes me and other old people, I am ashamed of my age, I really deserve to be the number one good boy in Jiangdong!"

These words can probably be understood in the same way as the phrase "Having a son should be like Sun Zhongmou". Compared with everyone in the banquet, Shen Zhezi is indeed a junior.In addition, it is also to emphasize Shen Zhezi's origin from Wu.

After Shen Zhezi heard the words, he said with a smile: "Lu Gong is wrongly praised, and he is really ashamed to accept it. The rebellious minister committed the crime, Wang Zuo was dusty, and he was in the wild and on the stage. Whether he is young or old, whether he is south or north, anyone who feels loyalty and righteousness will be treated with respect." Called by the king's order, you are fighting with all your strength, how dare you have the thought of shrinking back! The boy is unworthy, and he was also taught by Wang Hua, so he dare not praise his achievements, he is just ashamed of being left behind."

After everyone heard this, they laughed dryly, and it was not good to continue this topic.After a pause, Taichang Huaheng asked the topic that everyone was most concerned about: "Since the son-in-law has returned to the capital, who will be in charge of the king's master? Did Liyang rebel ever be punished?"

Earlier, Shen Zhezi strictly ordered the officials not to talk about Wang Shi's military affairs, but now Hua Heng asked about it. For a while, everyone looked at Shen Zhezi, wondering how he would react.

"Mr. Hua has a question, but I dare not hide it. Earlier, the younger generation had an order not to discuss military affairs. I have a last resort, and I am afraid that people will leak the news by talking too much. All of you here are the leaders of the country, so naturally there is no such worry. Even if the Duke does not ask, I also want to ask you sirs."

Shen Zhezi said with a smile.

Just hearing that he let go so easily, everyone was a little surprised. Originally they thought that Shen Zhezi still had to evade a few times to keep them from knowing the details, but they didn't expect to be so easily resigned.

However, when I thought about the fact that this young man had not lived long enough, even if he had a bit of toughness, it would not last long and lacked resilience, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and all of them widened their eyes and prepared to listen.In their view, as long as they know the specific situation outside, they can make judgments and make targeted plans.In this way, the advantage of the young man's information is gone.

Taking into account the changes in everyone's demeanor, Shen Zhezi sneered in his heart, and he knew exactly what these people were thinking.It's just that they are doomed to be disappointed. No one will be able to shake their power and status in Jiankang City in the future!

"To be honest, the so-called Master Wang is already in Taichung. Apart from that, there are no reinforcements around Gyeonggi!"

Shen Zhezi threw out this heavy news easily, and everyone in the banquet was indeed shocked, and their expressions changed: "What?"

"Isn't the son-in-law joking?"

"How dare I deceive you about such a big event! Now the traitor Su Jun is still fighting fiercely with the Jingzhou army Tao Gong, the rebel Zhang Jian Chen Bingqu'a, and the rebel Han Huang are raging in Wuzhong. Not only the situation in Jiangdong is severe, but Even the suburbs of Beijing are enemies from all directions. The younger generation was ordered by the empress dowager to return to the capital, King Qin, and dared not say anything. He came here on a light horse, and was lucky to succeed. But how will I continue in the future, I still have to ask you, can you teach me?"

Shen Zhezi said with a solemn expression, but he couldn't help laughing when he saw the increasingly ugly faces of the people.Although what he said is true, the situation is far from that bad. At least Jingzhou's strong army marches eastward to fight against Liyang, and there should be changes in the war within ten days.As for Han Huang in Wuzhong, not to mention the military deployment of Jingkou Xingtai and Huaibei, Jiangzhou and Dongyang alone may take his retreat at any time.As for Zhang Jian in Qu'a, he is already in a half-disabled state.

Shen Zhezi was just trying to scare these people. Hearing Master Wang's return, they jumped off one by one. Now that they know what Master Wang is like, let's see what they will do.

Everyone in the hall looked very ugly at the moment. Originally, in their opinion, since Shen Zhezi dared to attack Gyeonggi, at least one aspect of the army had opened up the passage to Jiankang, and Shen Zhezi was just taking advantage of it. Just run fast.But they never expected that the situation not only didn't get better, but it sounded a bit worse!
They all saw with their own eyes how many people Shen Zhezi had brought into Taicheng. With this manpower, even with the surrendered army of Kuang Shu and Lu Yong, it would be difficult to hold Taicheng, let alone the entire Jiankang City!You must know that there were tens of thousands of guards in the capital earlier, and they were all easily broken by the Liyang army!What is the difference between this so-called recovery and no recovery?As long as Li Yang counterattacks back again, Jiankang City, which was just recovered, will fall again in an instant!
Once Jiankang City is lost, they can no longer imagine what kind of retaliation they will encounter from the rebels!After a little thought, the future is bleak, and there is almost no hope!
"But, if you only have the troops in Taichung, how can you, Weizhou, break through the defensive blockade of many rebels outside the city? Also, last night, the south of the big truss was full of flames, and the momentum was huge. How could it be that a small group of soldiers could create His voice? Wei Zhou, you are joking, right?"

There were still people who did not give up asking, staring at Shen Zhezi, hoping to get the answer they wanted from Shen Zhezi, for this reason they didn't even mind Shen Zhezi playing with their faux pas.

However, the result disappointed everyone, Shen Zhezi just shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Everything that the junior said is true!"

"Shen Weizhou, you are so bold! A mere army of soldiers dares to come here for so long! The soldiers are fierce, and you are only keen on taking risks with the magnates. If your risky actions cause His Majesty the Emperor to be implicated, what should you do!"

After Shen Zhezi heard the reprimand, he sneered: "Everyone is responsible for suppressing the rebellion against the King of Qin. This is an act of loyalty and heroism. If there is a reward for fame and treasures, I will be worthy of it! Could it be that I just sit back and watch the thieves and captives wreak havoc and the capital fall? , The king is trapped for a long time, is it the duty of a minister? Follow the traces of loyalty and righteousness, even though I die without fear, how can I be timid because of the small number of soldiers!"

Hearing Shen Zhezi's eloquent rebuttal, although everyone was upset, they were exhausted for a while.

At this time, Dao Wang said at the table: "The son-in-law is not afraid of dangers, and leaves the crowd to serve the king. This is an undeniable feat! Although there are many thieves, it is difficult to stop the righteous men from worshiping the king's palace. This is against the will of the people. , It can be seen that his death is not far away, and the destiny is to bless Jin. Since we are entrusted with the responsibility of the country, we should think about what manpower has done, and the rest are not worth mentioning."

When Shen Zhezi heard Wang Daozhi's words, he couldn't help sighing in his heart, the level of a person is really revealed at this moment.After he told the truth, some people in the audience were surprised, frightened, and thoughtful, but Wang Dao was the only one who could really speak to stabilize people's hearts and teach people to focus on the present.

In his heart, Shen Zhezi despised Langya Wang's family, but he really admired Dao Wang.The so-called No. 1 in the Dianwu Dynasty is really not over-reputed. In the process of Jin Zuo's transfer to Jiangdong, although Wang Dao's actions had their limitations, his historical achievements cannot be denied.So even though he has already gained the upper hand now, Shen Zhezi still attaches great importance to Director Wang.

Admiration is one aspect, but Shen Zhezi is also very clear that Director Wang is one of the opponents he must defeat in the future, otherwise a truly large-scale Northern Expedition would be out of the question.The series of actions he had taken against the Langya Wang clan earlier were only to equalize the gap between them, but if he could complete his achievements in this battle, he would have underestimated the number one sect in the north and south at present.

And right now, he and Director Wang have a basis for cooperation, which is to stabilize the situation in Gyeonggi.Of course, this cooperation is to follow our own pace and focus on ourselves.For Shen Zhezi, this is also a remarkable progress and pioneering work.

"The current situation is already like this, and it is useless to talk about other things. The younger generation also has three strategies for this, and I still have to ask you to correct me."

Speaking of this, Shen Zhezi was no longer polite, and directly threw out his follow-up plan: "First, although the capital has been recovered, but there are few soldiers, it is advisable to invite a minister to go to Xingtai to report the victory and ask for help. Second, the capital It is inevitable that the hearts of the people will be turbulent after the new restoration. His Majesty is too young to be busy. The younger generation dared to ask the Taibao to temporarily take charge of the government affairs in the capital. Third, the rebels outside the capital are about to counterattack. I swear that the Taiyuan will not be lost!"

Shen Zhezi's biggest weakness is his young age and lack of seniority. Although he is the only one in the army now, he doesn't expect to be able to control the military and government. Besides, the old and young in the army may not be willing to listen to him.The reason why he was able to easily capture Jiankang was because Su Jun had not been supported for a long time.Instead of trying to suppress the backlash by grabbing an untitled position, it is better to simply take a step back.

He has also considered these three plans for a long time, and after intimidating them, let everyone understand that the situation in Jiankang is far from good enough to sit back and relax.The second point is on the one hand to use Director Wang's popularity to stabilize the situation, and on the other hand to express his position that anyone can leave, except Director Wang.

The third point is his bottom line, military power will never be given up, and the defense of Taicheng must be under his control!Moreover, Shen Zhezi not only wants actual military power, but also wants to force these people to admit himself in terms of rituals.This is not only to confirm his great achievements this time, but also to force these important ministers to recognize his qualifications as the commander in chief!

　Tomorrow I will have to work overtime. If it is too late, I will guarantee two shifts, and if I have time, I will make three shifts. . .
