Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 246 Qingjun’s Side

"I've met the Prime Minister."

Shi Liai bowed to Han Fang and saluted, then took out a few documents and stationery and said: "These are the money and food incoming and outgoing in Yandi in the past month. Also, there is a letter sent back from Hebei, eight hundred miles away, expedited. Please present it to your Majesty the Prime Minister."

Han Fang took the letter and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be polite. Your Majesty is waiting inside. You happen to have something to say, so please come."

Outside the palace, or at the door of the Imperial Study Room, Mrs. Xuan of Xinna, the King of Han, was standing there, wearing a red palace dress with a skirt that reached the floor, followed by two palace attendants, both holding food boxes in their hands.

"She doesn't really think that the king likes to eat Korean food, right?"

Shi Liai chuckled softly, and Han Fang smiled disapprovingly. If the person standing there was the Princess of Han, the Princess of Liao, Yelu Yuliyan, or even the Princess of Jin, both of them would be more respectful, but the King of Han Therefore, if they want to get close to the Korean woman in front of them, both of them understand the meaning behind it.

Mrs. Xuan turned around and saw them, she immediately showed a dignified smile, then gave a blessing ceremony, bowed gently, and said: "I have met the Prime Minister of South Korea and the Duke of Shi."

Han Fang nodded slightly, Shi Liai pretended not to notice, and Mrs. Xuan's smile suddenly froze.

Before entering, Han Fang reminded her in a low voice: "The woman's skirt is too long, and she might get strangled."

The melted ice and snow in spring flows into rivers. The common people near Baigou River have lived in peace for nearly two years. The Qizhou in Hebei and Yanmenguan in Hedong have become the southern frontier of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Ling raised his head and looked at the two people in front of him. They were both wearing black official robes. After bowing and saluting, they sat down on the chairs at Liu Ling's signal. After Han Fang sat down, he stood up and walked to Liu Ling.

Both Han Fang and Shi Liai were waiting for the King of Han's next words. According to history, both of them had become obedient citizens of the Jin Kingdom at this time. But now, although they still have their own little calculations in their hearts, they are all interested in it. They have all been tightly tied to the emerging big man.

Liu Ling looked at the two ministers who were sitting upright, and did not talk too much. He just said lightly: "When then, we will send troops to quell the Song Dynasty."

An official below immediately stood up and said in disbelief: "Could it be that Mr. Zhang has surrendered to the Yan bandits?"

Only then did Shi Liai smile slightly and replied: "As an official, you must never be able to have both sides. The lower official is from the Liao Dynasty. In his eyes, he only recognizes the Princess of Han and His Highness. Is she worthy?"

This means that Yanyun has gained a valuable buffer zone. Once the war starts again, the Yannan region will not be immediately involved in the war.

But for the people in Hedong, Hebei, although the Han Dynasty also specializes in salt and iron, they do not play with the prohibitions, and there are many commercial tax exemptions. They only require the local government to use treasure banknotes to settle prices. Other than that, ordinary people live a normal life. In fact, it is much better than before. At least the local defenders will be severely fined if they are caught harassing civilians.

At this time, Liu Ling chose to enter Kuma and release Nanshan with swords and guns just to seek death. Even Yan Yun had never had a chance to recuperate. The only purpose of the army to take a breather and rest was to face the next battle.

The high military expenditure has always been Yanyun's most terrible expense, but it is like some kind of competition in later generations. This is a marathon that vomits blood and has no end. But whoever falls first will die, so Everyone could only vomit blood and run wildly.

"Qianzhuang?"

"I have already discussed this with Hebei Bank."

It may be when he is old, or it may be the next generation. This is an unbreakable cycle and the fate of all ancient dynasties. Liu Ling has never thought too long-term from beginning to end, because at the moment he can only do this one step.

Zhang Xiaochun sat in the lobby, looked at the bureaucrats below, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "This time, Hebei Bank can lend us 300,000 yuan, and will also help us buy grain from Beijing and Dongxiliang Road. The money and grain There are no problems.”

"Things in Hebei are getting more and more intense. This year, there will probably be a fight between the Song people."

"Each Han army will rest for a few months or half a year. At that time, they can propose war again." Liu Ling replied.

"My lord, meet the king!"

The way to reduce its negative impact is war. Liu Ling will not rashly start a war without preparation, and the Han army can eliminate most of the negative factors with one victory after another, but those hidden threats will It will continue to accumulate until it is enough to overthrow the foundation he established.

"presumptuous!"

Zhang Xiaochun stood up, looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "I want to ask you, did Liang Fangping send someone to us to have a good discussion?"

"It's like this every time. He sends a military envoy to pass the order directly to us. In addition, every time the court envoy comes over, he will definitely speak to the angel first." Zhang Xiaochun said coldly. road:

"Tong Guan is dead, but there is still someone who wants to be the second Tong Guan. I don't want to say that word, but someone is forcing us to say it.

Everyone, the sword and wok will be imposed on you, either today or in the future.

However, I can let you choose for yourself! "

The officials below turned around in horror. There was the sound of footsteps and armor clashing outside the lobby door. Groups of soldiers appeared outside. Behind them, a young man wearing white uniforms was asking with great interest. Looking at a young officer next to him.

"Have you been to Yandi? How many times?"

"Two or three times."

"Have you ever fought in the northwest?"

"Yes, the scar between the villain's eyebrows was left there."

"I have heard," Kang Wang Zhao Gou paused and said softly: "When you followed Zhang Xuanfu back to Hebei, you recaptured Hejian Mansion with very few troops and attacked and killed the rebel general Liu Sichu?"

"Yue Fei,"

He patted the young man in front of him on the shoulder and praised: "The Song Dynasty needs generals like you, and don't worry, I will definitely recommend you to Zhang Xuanfu."

"Little man, thank you so much, king."

Their words were interrupted by the troops in front of them. Zhao Mingcheng stepped out and gave some instructions to the leading officers. The latter immediately rushed in with two groups of soldiers and dragged out the officials who were unwilling to obey the orders.

Zhang Xiaochun is actually not bad in nature, but Zhao Mingcheng and a group of people are selling "secrets to success" in his ears day and night. A group of smart people have formed an information cocoon around an honest man. The simplest way to say it is that Zhang Xuanfu has been deceived. .

And he still has a considerable amount of military power in his hands.

"Take them all down and lock them up!"

"Your Highness." Yue Fei said, and King Kang turned his head and continued to look at him.

He hesitated several times, but finally asked: "Are we going to fight against evil?"

A smile flashed in King Kang's eyes.

No matter what plans Zhang Xiaochun, Zhao Mingcheng and others had in mind, King Kang couldn't guess it. He had been to Yunzhong once, and he only knew that the reason why he was sent there that time was just because he was not important.

After all, the prince is the prince, and his brother, King Yun, is the favorite of the official family. It is impossible for him, Zhao Gou, to sit in that seat anyway.

I saw in the clouds the battle between Han and Jin, and then stayed in the devastated Hebei for a long time. The powdery aura left by Bianjing to Zhao Gou dissipated without a trace.

Thanks to some people's deliberate propaganda, many people across the two rivers now know that His Royal Highness King Kang stayed calm in the face of danger when he was on an envoy to Yunzhong, and even commanded the Han army to kill the prince of Jin and more than a thousand cavalry.

Walking in Hebei,

There are common people everywhere who respect him, and there are officials and soldiers everywhere who seek help from him. He is no longer a dispensable little king in the capital, but
King Kang looked past Yue Fei and towards the other people present, his eyes becoming cold.

“Everything has a price, but it must be worth it.”
