Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 1657 The Emperor's Doubts

"Your Majesty, Lord Wang is staying in Chenzhou, and I'm afraid he won't go south for a short time."

In the Chongzheng Hall, Shen Mo faced the saint alone, facing Zhao Jiong's concern for Wang Xiu, and directly expressed his own judgment, but the meaning behind the words was memorable.

Zhao Jiong was silent for a long time, he naturally knew about the messy things outside, and said indifferently: "The government and the public are talking too much, I understand the prince's intentions, but it's hard to talk, what can I do?"

Silence is really silence. With the stability of the overall situation in the north, the minds of the ruling and opposition scholar-bureaucrats are clearly revealed, and a new round of siege has begun, even harder than the accident. There are faint shadows of Li Gang and even Li Guang, not to mention those heavyweight scholars characters.

There is also a fresher strategy. They did not directly attack Wang Xiu, but adopted a detour.Guang Luqing and Zhang Shao played on the performance, using Wang Xiu Zhongxing to protect the lord and stand up to the world. His meritorious service has reached the extreme. If he is not crowned a king, he will never be able to reflect the benevolence of the court. Please ask the emperor to confer the title of county king to inspire the people of the world.

This is an absolutely vicious move, and a blatant conspiracy.The founding of the Song Dynasty set the title of title, and the prime minister can generally seal the title of Kai Guogong or Guo Gong, Tong Guan or even the king.

However, the public is the ultimate literati, and being crowned king is only an honor to go west. It is not a good thing to be crowned king during his lifetime. .

Wang Xiu returned to the court with great achievements, and would inevitably enter the two palaces again, which some people did not want to see.They even reported that the Gongsheng Army and the Huyi First Brigade had returned to the town, and they were dissatisfied with the court's rewards. Many imperial troops were even disbanded.

The implication is very clear, the dissatisfaction of the generals of the Forbidden Army is likely to cause Wang Xiu to add a yellow robe.When the Gongsheng Army returned to the line, the rumors became more and more arrogant. Some people even directly posted a notice that Wang Xianggong wanted to wear a yellow robe. He scolded the subordinate officials six times.

As a result, Zhang Shaozuo invited Wang Xiu to be crowned Lord, and directly pulled the neutral scholars over. They did not want to believe that the yellow robe would be added to their bodies, and they were also somewhat worried that the addition of the yellow robe would ruin their lofty image. When they were in conflict, they suddenly saw hope. A way to resolve their reluctance, Wang Jue is enough to solve everything.

Although, Zhao Jiong trusted Wang Xiu very much, but because his position determined everything, he had to think more, the emperor could not make mistakes, and said slowly: "How should the Qing family think?"

Hearing the words in silence, he couldn't help saying loudly: "Your Majesty, Mr. Wang Wenshi's loyalty to the country is beyond expectations. I hope your majesty will learn from him."

"I know the prince, but the scholars and the people are talking about it, and we can't let it go." Zhao Jiong sighed softly, with a helpless expression on his face.

Of course, Shen Mo also understands Zhao Jiong’s difficulties, and the emperor can’t act according to his will. Even if Zhao Jiong has some decision-making power, he can’t help but fear the voice of Shilin, not to mention Wang Xiu has the ability to change the dynasty, let alone reassure the emperor .He pondered for a while, thinking about the cause and effect, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Wang Wenshi is definitely not what those acid scholars say. It is for your majesty to be arbitrary and not to be instigated by outsiders."

Zhao Jiong nodded silently, why didn't he understand the situation, if Wang Xiu really wanted to add a yellow robe, 20 years ago was the best chance, how can he wait until now?It's just that if it's not ten thousand, it's just in case. He really can't afford to bet that the fate of the emperor must not be entrusted to others.

"Your Majesty, I will take your leave." Mo Mo had said all that needed to be said, the rest was left to Zhao Jiong's own choice, and he stepped back in a very timely manner.

Sitting on the throne, Zhao Jiong fell into deep thought, his face was extremely contemplative, but he didn't know what to think, even Zhang Quan couldn't control it, but he wanted to remind him softly, and he was afraid of disturbing the thoughts of the officials, so he could only carefully accompany him , I was also thinking about it.

He knew the inside story of the Tian family, and watched the blood fight, but he could only watch but not speak, and abide by his duty as a slave.

However, in the Privy Council, Li Gang and Li Guang faced Zhong Lirui. He looked at the chief counselor of the royal family very difficultly, and said with complicated eyes: "The bachelor will leave tomorrow, but he has a heavy responsibility, and he must live up to his mission."

Zhong Lirui complained in his heart that Wang Xiu stayed in Chenzhou for many days. The atmosphere in the government and the public was tense, and the pressure on the two governments was even greater. Now it is the greatest wish of Li Gang, Li Guang, Zhao Ding and others to let him return alone. The pressure of identity is too heavy, and the merits of not doing it alone are enough to overwhelm the two governments.

However, he still needs to be considerate in face, and said lightly: "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely go all out."

Li Gang frowned slightly, Zhong Lirui didn't make an actual promise, he was actually playing tricks, but he couldn't force it, so he could only smile and say: "Okay, then wait for the scholar's good news."

"It's not an option for Wen Shi to stay in Chenzhou. The scholar will definitely let him have an early meeting." Li Guang naturally understood the movement of the government and the opposition, but he didn't know Wang Xiu's thoughts.

Today, the government and the public are turbulent. When Wang Xiu arrived in Chenzhou, he stopped suddenly, like a dormant tiger, staring at the other party. It looked so calm, but in fact it made people shudder.

Zhao Ding is the most resolute leader of the power to defeat the king. Naturally, he can't tolerate dormant outside. You must know that the current battle is under everyone's control. Even if you win or lose, it is nothing more than dismissal.

Now, Wang Xiu has been abroad for four years and has established absolute authority in the two major Servant Divisions. Whether it is the Dianqian Division or the Foreign Army, there are a large number of cronies, and they are all promoted to key positions due to meritorious service, just like smashing the palace mutiny back then. , as long as he raises his arms for a while, I am afraid that many people will come forward to fight for their own best interests.

Withdraw the envoy or do something else?I'm afraid it won't be that easy, let alone Wang Xiu's reaction, even those with vested interests will set off a frenzy that can overthrow the two governments.Wang Xiu, who was supposed to be hesitant, had to adapt to the facts in the general environment, and I'm afraid he would do something to ignore the court.

Just as they were worried, Wang Xiu was indeed hesitating, but it was not what they thought, but how to resolve this crisis of trust.

Yu Yunwen is no longer by his side. Last year, he went to the imperial court to give him a chance to practice. He used Wenbao Pavilion to direct the military and state affairs of Quan Yizhou.

He Weilai is the envoy of the economic strategy and appeasement system on Liaodong Road. At the same time, he also knows the Liaoyang Mansion. If you make meritorious deeds, you can be like two governments, which can be regarded as the Everbright He family.

He Laodao, who was in Huihui's age, made the most correct decision in life, and he was rewarded generously. When he heard the good news at home, he couldn't help sighing: "I knew that Wang Dalang was promising, and the old man naturally knows people. From then on, my family will be a ruling family and a scholarly family."
