King of Song

Chapter 651 Fatal Strike

Wang Anshi entered the palace soon, and he has convenience in this regard.

In the past, the officials often summoned them like this, so Wang Xianggong didn't think it was sudden.

The Chuigong Hall has been cleaned up, and Zhao Xu, an official who was vomiting blood in anger, politely bestowed a seat on Wang Anshi like a normal person.

Xiao Hai kept his head down, but still watched all directions, put the stool behind Wang Xianggong, and then backed away cautiously.The mood of the officials changed too quickly, and the gentler they were, the more they seemed to be hiding a knife in their smile.His intuition told him that Wang Xianggong might be unlucky today!
After the monarchs and ministers were seated, Zhao Xu first asked some questions about reforms and taxes.Not to mention, it has only been half a year since Wang Anshi came back, and he worked hard, and the results are still very good.Coupled with the rare favorable weather in the Song Dynasty this year, the financial revenue has increased, which immediately relieved the urgent need of the third division.

Then, the conversation changed and the Northwest War was discussed again.Zhao Xu said with a smile on his face: "The king of Qin made a memorial, and Lingzhou has won a great victory."

"I already heard about it when I came here!" The memorandum first passed through the Secretary of State of the Political Affairs Hall, and at the same time there was an official document for the Privy Council. In addition, Zhao Zhao deliberately spread the news, and now it has spread, almost everyone knows it.

Zhao Xu said calmly, "Then...Jiefu, what do you think?"

"This is a happy event, unprecedented joy. Your majesty is wise and powerful. The King of Qin is brave and good at fighting. The soldiers will use their lives. Only then will there be a great victory in Lingzhou!" Wang Anshi was really happy. Succeeded?It wasn't until this time that King Qin came out and Lingzhou returned to the rule of Song Dynasty.

All the land east of the Yellow River fell under the control of the Song Dynasty. With the destruction of Xixia and the destruction of the right arm of the Liao Kingdom, the ambition of restoring the old Han and Tang Dynasties has taken another big step forward, and the possibility of realization has greatly increased. Wang Anshi is naturally happy.In terms of merit, the emperor, the chief general, and the soldiers who participated in the war all have merit.

But in Zhao Xu's ears, there was a sense of flattery. First of all, he emphasized that he was wise and mighty, very good!
"The king of Qin wrote a letter to ask for credit for the generals, and the soldiers who died in battle were named, and the Privy Council presided over the compensation. What does Jiefu think?" Zhao Xu remained calm, and it was no different from asking for government advice on a daily basis.

Wang Anshi also thought so. The upright Wang Xianggong didn't smell the murderous intent, and he didn't realize that this issue was about the future and life and death.

"Rewards for meritorious deeds should be rewarded. The soldiers have fought hard for several months and made great contributions to the Song Dynasty. They should be rewarded. As for pensions, although the current financial situation is tight, if we think of ways, the money can still be squeezed out." Wang Anshi gave Such an answer came out.

Zhao Xu's expression was extremely dignified. From the time Wang Anshi opened his mouth to closing his mouth, his eyes of great anticipation gradually turned cold, then a little disappointed, and then filled with anger.

When Wang Anshi finished speaking and looked up at the official family, Zhao Xu's eyes regained their calmness, a chilling calmness.

"En!" Zhao Xu nodded noncommittally, and said, "Will this affect the reform? Now that the Song Dynasty's finances are tight, it may be difficult to take care of many things!"

"It is true that money and food are tight, but conquering Xixia is the country's major plan. It is necessary to comfort the soldiers and boost morale." Wang Anshi said: "In the future, Xixia may make a comeback, and we still need to test the soldiers to resist other places; Take advantage of this good opportunity, go straight to Xingqing Mansion."

Wang Anshi is full of expectations for the strategic concept formulated early in the morning, and has always hoped to put it into action.

Zhao Xu became more and more calm, his face changed several times, and then he said: "I got the news that Xixia has lost Lingxia, and in turn intends to plot Hehuang, with a total of 12 horses, [-] to attack, [-] to defend against Song, Jiefu What do you think?"

Wang Anshi was puzzled and said: "I didn't hear the Privy Council mention it. Xixia just failed in Xia, and then sent troops to attack Hehuang. It's unlikely!"

According to the usual practice, frontier military intelligence was first reported to the Privy Council. Privy envoy Han Jiang didn't see any movement, so why did it suddenly come from the emperor's mouth?It is neither idiomatic nor logical.

"Is that really the case?" Facing Wang Anshi's questioning, Zhao Xu asked back.

"Great victory in Lingzhou, our army is as powerful as a rainbow, and the Western Army has always been elite, and with King Qin in command, it should be safe." Wang Anshi said: "The court only needs money and food, and His Highness King Qin will definitely be able to defend against the enemy, and even counterattack Hexi. It is not impossible to destroy Xixia." Many years of long-cherished wish, now there is great hope, Wang Anshi naturally hopes to achieve it as soon as possible.

"Okay, you go first!" Zhao Xu issued the order to chase away the guests in one sentence, and called out inexplicably, and the endless performances ended like this.Wang Anshi was still at a loss, and he didn't understand at all. What is the point of the official calling him today?

Zhao Xu slumped on the dragon chair powerlessly, feeling extremely heavy!

Wang Anshi actually agreed with King Qin's proposal, he actually agreed!

This is the most unacceptable thing for Zhao Xu.He also kept saying that as long as there is King Qin in the northwest, everything will be fine and there is no need to worry.

Is it flattery or trust?Zhao Xu knew that Wang Anshi might be acting out of publicity, hoping to complete his plan to destroy Xixia.But with his stubborn and upright character, he will definitely support anything that is beneficial to the Northwest War.What is the result of that?Zhao Zhao will grow stronger and stronger.

Perhaps the Song army could conquer Xingqing Mansion, but the day Xixia was destroyed was also the time when the emperor himself fell.

The core condition for Zhao Xu to select talents now is that it is beneficial to his throne. Obviously, Wang Anshi is not very suitable.

The prime minister is such an important official position, if you can't be single-minded to yourself, how can you rest assured?It's in vain that I value you so much that I don't think about me at all, and want to actually support King Qin.

Could it be that Wang Jiazhen and Zhao Zhaoan communicated with each other?Thinking of the gossip in the past, Zhao Xu's heart suddenly became suspicious.He also doubted Wang Anshi more and more. From today onwards, the trust and harmony of the past will no longer exist between the monarch and his ministers.

Zhao Xu felt that maybe it was a mistake to let Wang Anshi be the prime minister again!

Thinking of recent events, Zhao Xu wanted to go crazy.Wen Yanbo resigned from office with an ambiguous attitude, Wu Chong went to the Daming Mansion, and Wang Anshi was so ignorant that he fell into a situation where no one could use him.

Lu Huiqing!
Zhao Xu quickly thought of Lu Huiqing, for the current plan, perhaps he is the only one standing on the same front with him!
Zhao Xu was thinking this way, when a memorial appeared in front of his eyes—Censor Qian Ying impeached Lu Huiqing for his crimes!
Mostly it means that Lu Huiqing committed corruption and perverted the law, and behaved indiscreetly in Chen Zhou's tenure, etc.If it were in the past, Zhao Xu, who didn't rub the sand in his eyes, would not tolerate it, and would definitely be punished severely.

But at this moment, in Zhao Xu's opinion, a loyal heart can overcome countless crimes.At this moment, Lu Huiqing is like a treasure, how can Zhao Xu be willing to deal with it?
Forget it, it is also their responsibility for the censors to listen to the rumors and monitor the power of the officials.

Zhao Xu tossed the memorabilia aside, and at the moment of letting go, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind.

Qian Ying, a very ordinary official at Yushitai.But——he and Wang Yu were the same age, and they had a very close relationship!

The matter became clear at once. Obviously, the impeachment of Lu Huiqing was very likely to be written by Wang Yu, or Wang Anshi's intention.

People have been sent to Chenzhou, are you still worried?

Zhao Xu suddenly felt disgusted, and he was already guilty of relegating Lu Huiqing to Chenzhou.In the past, because he valued Wang Anshi, he was favored by the Wang family, so it didn't matter.But Wang Anshi's attitude today made him disappointed and angry, and he valued Lu Huiqing even more in his heart.

Wang Yu's impeachment memorandum happened to appear on this occasion, it was really bad luck!
It seems that the prime minister should be replaced!
Zhao Xu threw away the memorial and left in a huff!

The servant Xiaohai looked at the official's back and thought that the official must have gone to the harem to look for the concubine.This is already a common practice, as long as the officials get angry in the Chui Gong Palace and are depressed and aggrieved, they will go to the concubines in the harem to vent and relax.Recently, the frequency has been increasing.

In any case, they can breathe a sigh of relief for the time being.As long as the officials are there, the Chui Gong Palace will be a hell on earth, and the risk of life and death will always remain high.The officials left, but they were still busy, and had to tidy up the Chui Gong Palace.

The teacup and fruit plate on the imperial case involves the safety of the official family, so it must be cleaned up by its own cronies.Xiao Hai tactfully walked over, tidied up the messy memorials, and then arranged the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.During this process, his eyes flicked quickly, engraving the key information on the memorial in his mind.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The impeachment of Lu Huiqing was indeed Wang Xi's idea!
Such an ungrateful person, relegated to Chenzhou, such a small punishment, is really too cheap for him.Furthermore, Zhizhou is still a very high official position, and many officials will return to their posts in the future.

In one year, Lu Huiqing had done too many injustices to the Wang family, and he was so oppressive that he couldn't breathe.Now that he has managed to slow down, it is natural to deal with him, let alone give him a chance to stand up and persecute the Wang family again.

If you don't die from beating a snake, you will suffer from it instead, Wang Yu deeply believes that.Only by putting him to death can his father's position be truly stabilized and the Wang family can rest easy.Perhaps Lu Huiqing will feel remorse only if she returns to her original form. At least it must be very miserable. Wang Yu is very happy to see such a happy situation.

Therefore, despite my father's repeated objections and repeated warnings.Wang Yu still decided to give Lu Huiqing a "fatal blow". To deal with villains, he could only use villain methods.

In the past few years, Wang Yu also knew a lot of dirty things about Lu Huiqing.Henceforth, he immediately handed over the black materials to Qian Ying, a friend of the same year, and used the power of the censor to supervise all the officials and gossip about things to Tianting.

Officials are the most taboo of officials who are corrupt and pervert the law, and have misbehavior. With these materials, Lu Huiqing must be enough to drink a pot.Coupled with the government's consistent favor and trust for his father, Lu Huiqing must be unable to eat this time around!
Thinking of this, Wang Yu was in a good mood, looking forward to the good news tomorrow.At this moment, Wang Yu learned that his father had returned.Hastily went up to meet him, only to find that his father was a bit lonely...
