Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 1662
At their level, they can no longer be described as loyal and traitorous. It should be said that they represent the interests of a certain group, or even a certain class.

Sometimes it is necessary to safeguard the interests of the class in doing things, otherwise it may lead to alienation, no matter how powerful you have, it will collapse due to unstable foundation.Just like the reforms of the famous ministers of the previous dynasties, some were scolded bloody, and the ones who took the initiative were often the upper opposition. It seems ridiculous, but it is a reality.

The group and class he represented overlapped with Wang Xiu's in terms of general direction and interests, but there were differences in the monarchy, and it wasn't that Wang Xiu had already shown his ambition to usurp the throne. Most of the people below were suspicious.

The key is that he now feels that it is not to the extent of blatantly tearing his face. After all, Wang Xiu did not blatantly seize power, and he is very fair in doing things in the north. Reason against.

It is not an exaggeration to stay in Shangshui for the time being. It is too lofty to return home at the pinnacle of life. People who have no desires and desires are often the most terrifying. Wang Xiu has vanity, but it just shows that he has no ambition to be a leader. It should be said that he has achieved success and fame, and he has no other thoughts at all.

"Wang Wenshi is a great talent. I also benefited a lot from the policy of the Prime Minister's South China Sea affairs and the establishment of a bank." Zhao Ding had to admit that he had been favored. When his future was bleak, Wang Xiu gave him a way out and opportunities, but he could not let He was biased in righteousness, and he resolutely said: "It's just that the righteousness of the family and the country, and the orthodoxness of the emperor, must not be maintained on the individual. Even if there is a negative literary truth, I must do it."

Li Gang glanced at Zhao Ding, but the others had two opinions. In all fairness, the two governments were in power. Regarding Wang Xiu's public rather than selfishness, he thought for a long time before saying: "Wang Wen is really in full swing. I'm afraid you are not opponents. I think it's better to wait and see what he does."

"I know, but I have to try, at least let him accept the resignation of the county king." Zhao Ding said firmly.

"Do as much as possible, and it must not cause turmoil." Now that Zhao Ding has drawn a boundary, Li Gang finally made up his mind to support it, but he did not want to cause turmoil in the government and the opposition, so he somewhat reserved it.

Zhao Ding was very satisfied. With Li Gang's support, Li Guang would naturally be able to win him over. Three governments with two governments were enough to fight against Wang Xiu. He was full of confidence in this.

But he said that Zhao Jiong was in a very heavy mood, and he returned to the Palace of Funing sullenly. Zhang Quan was a sensible person, and Qing Jun reminded him in time.

"Mr. Zhang, you are also an old man back then. Do you know about the affairs of the empress and the prince?" Zhao Jiong was so annoyed that he couldn't help asking.

Zhang Quan was confident and apprehensive, and secretly sighed that the one who was supposed to come had finally come. How could he discuss the past between Wang Xiu and Zhu Lian, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Retire." Only he and Zhao Jiong were left, and they whispered: "Your Majesty didn't tell the officials, what did the slaves say?"

"Back then, you were the one who broke through the siege and went south. What was the prince's attitude?" Zhao Jiong said slowly, there were some things he had to figure out.

Zhang Quan's mood was particularly complicated, and he nodded his head slightly, "The servant was ordered to go south by the order of the empress, but he met Wang Xianggong's army in Chenzhou. At that time, he had just finished training and was preparing to go north. Let's go."

He put a lot of thought into it, and just finished the rehearsal, which showed that Wang Xiu was not just watching the soldiers, but reorganizing the various armies.

Zhao Jiong was silent for a long time, and said to himself: "Yes, most of the imperial troops who were withdrawn from Mengzhou back then were scattered, and it is normal to reorganize for many days."

"Officials, the rumors outside are absolutely unbelievable. When the Hejin army was defeated, Zhe Yanzhi ignored the overall situation, and Li Hui even turned around and ran away. Wang Xianggong turned the tide and saved the [-] troops for the court. He retreated to Chenzhou after the war and kept the Seeds to fight."

Zhang Quan sweated in his heart, and said slowly: "How can a hundred thousand mob go north to rescue immediately? Even if Wang Xianggong led the army to serve the king and supported the emperor, Chenzhou was also attacked by captives, and the two elders of the Wang family were also forced to die. , it can be seen that it was tragic at that time.”

Zhao Jiong's heart tightened. According to Zhu Lian's blood relationship, the second elder was his great ancestor, and he was forced to commit suicide. An inexplicable anger arose in his heart.

People say that Wang Xiu watched Chen Zhou's army, and he was an asshole to the extreme. What can a group of mobs do?If it wasn't for gritting your teeth and reorganizing, I'm afraid not to mention the second elder, whether you can go to Kaifeng or not, you have already become a ghost under the knife.

Zhang Quan saw that Zhao Jiong's face was cloudy and uncertain, so he didn't dare to speak more, so he could only keep silent.

"Back then, did the prince place great expectations on the Empress?" Zhao Jiong pondered for a while, and asked embarrassingly, but he couldn't be too straightforward.

Zhang Quan is a fine man, how can he not understand what Zhao Jiong is referring to, but he dare not have any grievances, and immediately said: "Wang Xianggong can say that he has great hopes for the emperor, but it is a pity that good fortune deceives people, and he was deceived by the nine kings. As for having to..."

There was no need to say any more, Zhao Jiong fully understood, he fell into silence, and waved his hand gently.

Zhang Quan retreated knowingly, closed the door of the pavilion, and softly said to the left and right palaces: "The officials are meditating quietly, so don't make any noise."

They almost rolled their eyes on the left and right, secretly slandering themselves, who can make a loud noise while waiting on the left and right of the official's house.

But at this moment, a member of the Huang family came hurriedly and said in a low voice: "Sir, King Lujun is here."

"The officials didn't call him?" Zhang Quan frowned slightly, his face was very unhappy. Without the emperor's call, the vassal king can't enter the palace at will. Zhao Xun is really too casual.

"It's from the Supreme." Huangmen said timidly.

"Oh, so that's the case, let him wait." Zhang Quan suddenly realized that the Taishang's residence is in the northeast of Ouchi, a newly built large palace complex, but it has not been fully completed, and Zhao Chen temporarily lives in the Jingxin Hall.

Because Zhao Xun was named the king of the county because of his status as the emperor's uncle, he can be regarded as a sparrow climbing a high branch, and he was called into the court many times.

"This..." Huangmen seemed to be in a dilemma, Zhao Xun's temper was not very good, he was really in a dilemma.

"Why, do you still want me to go in person?" Zhang Quan's face darkened, decades of accumulating prestige was no joke, and Huang Men trembled in fright.

"What's going on outside?" Zhao Jiong's voice came from the pavilion.

Zhang Quan hurriedly opened the door and went in, saying, "The king is here."

"Oh." Zhao Jiong pondered for a while, flashed a dark look, and said lightly: "Please come in, Your Majesty."
