The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 120
"I didn't expect the Khitan to have such a plan, and I thought that one day I would be able to attack the hinterland of my Central Plains. It's a big breath. After we are unified, the Khitan will attack the Khitan sooner or later to take back the land of Yanyun."

There are only two people in this house, or only two people have come in so far. This is a quiet hut built by Zhao Kuangyin in the palace. It is decorated by their father and son. No one else has really entered, even It's a little eunuch.

"Father, why should you be so anxious, Khitan is just a dream, my Great Song is actually so easy to deal with, now our focus is to win Li Chongjin, after that, Great Song is basically calm, and then we can continue our great cause of unification. "

"I have already arranged that Zhang Chongjin must stabilize Li Chongjin this time, and let him jump over the wall when necessary. Li Chongjin must be destroyed. This person cannot be kept. Besides, I was the host behind the assassination, so this time I must take the lead. The soldiers executed Li Chongjin."

Zhao Xu is not a kind person, and he doesn't allow others to shit and pee on his head. It was like this in the past life, and it is still like this now. Li Chongjin tried to put him to death over and over again, how could he swallow this breath.

"This time, I originally wanted to conquer by myself. Since Xu'er, you can go if you want. Anyway, the world you conquer will be yours in the future. You should go to attack by yourself, hahaha. By the way, your army is trained What's the matter?"

"What is the army? Those are the armored cavalry I tried out. They were trained by the elites I selected from the imperial army. You will know how powerful they are afterward." Zhao Xu said helplessly.

"Okay, armored cavalry, but I've seen them wearing heavy armor once before, and their agility is extremely poor, so they can't take advantage of the battlefield, right?"

Zhao Kuangyin had been to the place where Zhao Xu trained some armored cavalry, and he could see the weakness of this cavalry at a glance.

"Oh, that's what I prepared for Khitan in the future. It's not needed now. Our war horses are not as good as Khitan. This is also a problem, but this is a matter for the future. Now our attention is on the country." Zhao Xu looked at the wall A picture of the situation in front of him was silent for a long time.

Chen Sihui and his party set off immediately after receiving the imperial decree. Yangzhou City was already in front of him. Originally, he thought that this trip to Yangzhou would be smooth, but he didn't expect to meet the prince just after he left the capital. He still clearly remembered the prince's past. arrange:
"Master Chen, remember that when you go to Yangzhou this time, you must remember to appease Li Chongjin. If you have a chance, you will work with Zhai Shouxun to push Li Chongjin to a dead end, remember?"

Chen Sihui understands that his actions this time are more than good, but he also understands the truth of seeking wealth and danger. If this mission is successfully completed, his future will be limitless.

Soon he came to Yangzhou City. As the imperial envoy of the imperial decree, he was of course treated very well. After simply reading the imperial decree, he took out the iron coupon of the alchemy book given to Li Chongjin by the emperor.

Li Chongjin took the iron coupon and saw that it said that he would live with the country and never be burdened.That is to say, as long as the Song Dynasty exists for one day, you will have the glory and wealth of Li Chongjin, and the emperor will not let you down.

In the end, Li Chongjin pretended to be grateful, bowed in the direction of the capital, and said long live.

After finishing all the business, Chen Sihui said:
"Congratulations, Your Excellency. It seems that the Emperor still treats Your Excellency quite favorably. With this Iron Courage, His Excellency's descendants will enjoy endless prosperity and wealth. The lower officials are so envious!"

"The imperial envoy has worked hard, all thanks to the great love of the emperor, the imperial envoy is really thankful, please go down and rest first, and I will clean up your lord later." Li Chongjin couldn't say anything at this time, and Chen Sihui also bowed and went down.

"Mr. Zhai, what do you think of this matter?" After Chen Sihui went down, Li Chongjin immediately asked the counselor beside him.

Zhai Shouxun has already received a letter from the master of Bianjing, so he naturally knows how to answer:

"My lord, the imperial court has given you the iron certificate of the alchemy book. Are you still thinking about that?"

Li Chongjin didn't speak, and walked to the backyard alone.

At the banquet held by Li Chongjin in the evening, the guests and hosts were all enjoying themselves to the fullest. At this moment, Chen Sihui came in front of Li Chongjin:
"Master Li, I am very grateful for your banquet. I have something to tell you."

He hiccupped before he finished speaking, and Li Chongjin thought he was drunk.

"Master Chen, please say something, I will listen with all my ears, hehehe." Li Chongjin drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.

Chen Sihui staggered to Li Chongjin's side. It seemed that he was really drunk, and there were people beside him who were about to help him, but he stopped him.

He lay in Li Chongjin's ear and whispered for a long time, Li Chongjin's face changed drastically.

After Chen Sihui finished speaking, Li Chongjin quickly stood up, and said to the people at the banquet:
"Everyone continue, the imperial envoy is also drunk, I send him back to rest." The people below are all his subordinates, so there is nothing wrong with it.

"Master Chen, you have to say a few words for me, I have always been loyal to Song Dynasty, how can I have a different heart, Chen..."

Just when Li Chongjin was trying to explain, Chen Sihui snored loudly. Li Chongjin had no choice but to ask someone to help him into the room to rest. leave.

Just as they left, Chen Sihui, who was still snoring everywhere, opened his bright eyes.

Li Chongjin is very disturbed now, he is not prepared at all now, it seems that the court of the Song Dynasty has noticed his actions, thinking that what the drunk Chen Sixui said in his ear just now is:

"My lord Li, before I left the capital, someone reported that my lord wanted to rebel, but the emperor once said to the lower official that I believe that Li Chongjin will not rebel. Not only did I not believe it, but I also gave him an iron certificate of the alchemy book as a show of favor. .”

What does this sentence mean? Does anyone know the news that I am about to rebel? It is impossible how the court got the news?

No one else knows about this matter. It is impossible for the Khitan people to say it, and I will not say it. Could it be Zhai Shouxun? No wonder he persuaded me to be loyal to Song Dynasty? "

At this time, Li Chongjin also remembered that it was Zhai Shouxun who persuaded him not to join forces with Li Yun to fight against the court!
Thinking about it now, it was really strange. At this time, someone came to report that Mr. Zhai had met Mr. Imperial Envoy in private, so he couldn't help but not believe it.

"Come and invite Mr. Zhang, and Mr. Di by the way." Someone outside heard Li Chongjin's order and turned around and left.

"Mr. Zhai, I called you here so late. I just want to ask, when is the best time for us to send troops to the Song Dynasty?"

When Zhai Shouxun heard this, he was taken aback. He didn't know when Li Chongjin made the decision, so why didn't he know:
"My lord, I think it's better to have a long-term plan on this matter. Now that the imperial court has given you the iron certificate of the pill book, you have to think twice. Besides, even if you raise an army, the chances of winning are not great, I think it's still..."

"Hahaha" Before he finished speaking, Li Chongjin burst out laughing, Zhai Shouxun was still a monk of Zhang Er and couldn't figure it out, is what he said so funny?

At this time, Li Chongjin spoke up: "Mr. Zhang, come out, it really is as you expected."

A person walked out from the curtain behind him. The blue cloth shirt looked a bit tall and hermit, but when you looked at his shadowy face, you might not think so.

Zhai Shouxun saw that it was this person. He knew this person, and he was very familiar with him. Could he not be familiar with him? He was still his colleague and competitor, Zhang Chongxun.

This Zhang Chongxun's real name is Zhang Chongxun. After Emperor Zhou Gong came to the throne, he changed it to Zhang Chongxun in order to avoid the taboo of the then little emperor Chai Zongxun.

Zhai Shouxun knew that this person was not a counselor at the beginning. In the early years of Zhou Guangshun, he was also an official of the Privy Council, Jiezhou Governor, and Liangchi Quanyan Envoy.

Later, he was never hired by the court because of a very serious crime of dereliction of duty. He met Li Chongjin by chance, and has been with him since then as a counselor.

But Li Chongjin already had a counselor by his side, so Zhang Chongxun was not valued by Li Chongjin, but naturally he also hated Zhai Shouxun.

"Mr. Zhai couldn't have imagined that you actually met with the imperial court's Xuanzhi imperial envoy in private. What you have to say is known to the adults about everything you discussed."

Zhai Shouxun finally knew why Li Chongjin was laughing. He did find time to meet with Chen Sixui at noon and said something, but no one was there. How did this matter leak out? He was really in danger.

In fact, it's not to blame Zhai Shouxun for being careless, but Zhang Chongxun has been paying attention to Zhai Shouxun, always hoping that something will happen to him, so he also sent someone to monitor him day and night.

"Mr. Zhai, what else can you say? I have always been kind to you. I didn't expect that you had already taken refuge in Song Ting. You..." Speaking of which, Li Chongjin was really good to Zhai Shouxun, and Lao Li was really sad at this time .

"My lord, I am also doing it for your own good. How can we stop the soldiers and horses of the imperial court with only this little force? Why do you have to do such a stupid thing? Have you forgotten what happened to Li Yun?"

Zhang Chongzhen saw that Li Chongjin's mouth seemed a little loose, he absolutely couldn't allow such a thing to happen, how could he let him slip away when he finally had such an opportunity.

"My lord, don't listen to him. He is originally from Song Ting. Of course he spoke for Song Ting. I think we still have a chance. I hope your lord will make a decision soon."

Hearing Zhang Chongxun said that there was hope, Li Chongjin's already depressed heart became active again, and soon he sent Lao Zhai to prison, and did not kill him, he was still thinking about his old love.

Zhang Chongxun secretly thought it was a pity that he was not able to completely put him to death, but the current effect is fine.

When only Li Chongjin and the others were left, Li Chongjin said to Zhang Chongxu:

"From now on, Mr. Zhang will be my chief counselor. Dare I ask, what good plan does Mr. Zhang have?"
