Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 289
"It turns out that the official impeached Wang Zhige, he was just talking about something, and the official was wrong." Zhu Lian said calmly, with a calm look.

Zhao Huan looked at Zhu Lian in surprise, and said with a smile: "Speaking of things, there is no one who asserts that the Jurchen invaded the South in December. He is clearly greedy for luck and gaining reputation. This kind of person is the most hateful."

"Officials, don't get angry, it's not good to be seen by others." Zhu Lian glanced at Qing Jun, and the corners of his mouth were full of amusement.

Qingjun immediately went to pick up the broken porcelain obediently, and cleaned the ground, as if I were air when you talked.

Zhao Huan took a deep look at Zhu Lian, and realized that he was too aggressive. Who knows how many eyeliners Donggong has, and his every move is under the surveillance of others.If you get mad after Zhao Ji comes back, it might be heard by Zhao Ji, then it will be bad.

I didn't see that the third child was anxious like a mouse, and he went back to the palace from the flying bridge when he had nothing to do. He called it to see his father, who didn't understand his ghostly thoughts.

"My lady said, I'm too meng lang." A trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes.

"The officials rest for a while, and the servants will go to see the elder brother first."

"Let's go together." Hearing his son, Zhao Huan put aside his troubles for a while, and a smear of blood appeared on his pale face.

Looking at Zhao Huan's tired face, Zhu Lian felt guilty for a while, and finally turned into a firm and strange smile.

When Zhu Lian gave Zhao Huan a drink of soup and sent him to the eldest sister's bedroom, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The officials are too menglang, how can you easily say that the Jurchen invaded? Even if you know it, you can't say it in public! gossip."

Qingjun bit her red lips and said softly: "Second Sister, why don't you come out of the palace? See if the officials need help."

"It's not necessary. I believe that since the officials dare to say it, they must have plans. I just don't understand why he took such an extreme method. It's too risky to behead the brother who killed the Wu family last time!" Zhu Lian raised her eyebrows. He frowned slightly, as if he was weighing a good solution.

Wang Xiu didn't know about the weirdness in the palace at all. Since he said it, he wasn't afraid. It's five minutes past twelve, so what if he complained?In his own words, it's just an annoying hair, just spit it out, and it will be December soon.

He put down all his official and personal affairs, and focused on recalling the details in his memory, hoping to find a suitable leverage point, think through all aspects, and consider all possible emergencies and coping strategies more comprehensively. In the changing situation in the future, take the absolute initiative.

In his consideration, it was not dangerous for the Jurchens to go south for the first time. This was his greatest opportunity. The reason why he was willing to take the risk of being criticized was to deal with the Jurchens going south for the first time.Once he can achieve great achievements, he will be a backbone figure, a visionary minister, and an indispensable commander-in-chief, adding a strong stroke to his already dazzling qualifications.

Even if anyone dislikes him, but before the dazzling military exploits and calculations, all of them are chickens and dogs, which is not worth mentioning.

Zhao Huan is his main consideration, and of course Zhu Lian is also indispensable. Whether he can survive during Zhao Huan's administration, apart from his qualifications and reputation, Zhu Lian is an important support. Since the second tryst, he has a rough outline. Zhu Lian seemed to be different, he didn't pester him strangely, but made full use of it.

He didn't want to continue entanglement. Although the two trysts made him feel good, and the first woman in his life was also something he couldn't forget, but the choice between reason and emotion made him choose reason without hesitation.

Just when Wang Xiu weighed the strength, Zhao Ji didn't stop, he was very disturbed, so he summoned Liang Shicheng and Tong Guanye to talk.

Indeed, Tong Guan was very worried. Just yesterday afternoon, he secretly met Ma Kuo, who was serving as the accompanying envoy, and asked in detail about the situation along the border.

Ma Kuo's answer shocked him. There are 7 or [-] kinds of Jinjun flags found on the opposite side of Yanshan Mountain, which means that there are at least [-] or [-] Jurchens on the border. There is no definite information on the Hedong side, and it is estimated that there will be no less in Hebei.Here comes the question, why are you gathering such a huge force along the border?It will never be boring, stop and travel!
He didn't dare to underestimate her anymore, maybe something big would happen, so he had to tell the truth, and said: "Officials, the Jurchens are very powerful, and the court has to be fully prepared."

For Tong Guan's indirect acknowledgment, Zhao Ji was worried for a while. If the cat whose tail was stepped on, his face flushed for a while, and he immediately asked hastily, "How to make perfect preparations?"

"Tune the army from the west to the east." Tong Guan has no confidence in Hebei's soldiers and horses. He places high hopes on the generals in Shaanxi, which is the capital of his fame.

"Shaanxi's six-way army guards against the party and suppresses Tubo. It must not be taken lightly. There are tens of thousands of forbidden troops in Lianghe and Yanshan. Can the united and ever-victorious armies be able to prevent autumn?" Liang Shicheng pouted. He knew the situation, but he didn't To the extent of Tongguan.

"This matter, the Qing family discusses it secretly with the Privy Council, don't let the Jurchens find out." Zhao Ji took a breath, and said cautiously: "How can Li Xiaohe settle things over there, and don't let him cause trouble."

Tong Guan curled his lips and said nothing, he didn't intend to speak for Wang Xiu, it's fine if he doesn't make trouble.

Liang Shicheng hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice: "Officials, servants have a way."

The next day, Wang Xiu was still recuperating at home, and the imperial court issued an order.That's all, he is the young minister of the Taifu, advising on tax affairs and advising on goods and services.Fortunately, it is equivalent to being dismissed from the official position, but the official rank of Jilu is retained, and there are dozens of monthly incomes, and there is no job post.

For a moment, the yelling in Kaifeng City stopped abruptly, and everything went on the normal track, so appropriate, people seemed to forget about Wang Xiu.

Another point worth noting is that there is an undercurrent hidden in Tokyo Shilin, which supports Wang Xiu's remarks. They did not make a big announcement, but spread it in a small area. Although they do not agree with Wang Xiu's determination of the time, they believe that the Jurchen invasion It is imperative, and they have used various channels to make the court more vigilant.

Several powerful members of the Privy Council gathered in the festival hall every night, discussed for several days, and finally handed over the memorials of the discussions in secret, and the ruling governments of the two governments held a small-scale imperial meeting.As a result, there was no publicity, nor any intentions, but the armies of Lianghe and Yanshan stepped up their guards and repaired the city wall of Jiazhan to prepare for possible crises.

It can be said that Zhao Ji is not a fool, Tong Guan and others are not fools, there are still some defenses that should be done.Especially strengthen Guo Yaoshi's ever-victorious army. The [-] ever-victorious army is well-equipped and well-equipped. It can be called the number one force in the north and is the backbone of the defense of Hebei and Yanshan.If there is no chaos, everything will be fine, and there is still hope.

Cai You didn't care about the Jurchen's attack, he finally took Wang Xiu down, he was in a good mood, and was trying to find a way to defeat Wang Xiu once and for all, and lose the chance to make a comeback.He petitioned several times, wanting to drive Wang Xiu out of Kaifeng and serve as a local official on Liangzhe Road or Fujian Road, but Zhao Ji was noncommittal, and Li Bangyan, Liang Shicheng and others also disagreed. He gritted his teeth in hatred and could only think of goodbye way.

"Looking at your virtue, you can still laugh. I really admire you." Mo Mo invited Wang Xiu to have a drink at home, seeing Wang Xiu's expression of indifference, she didn't even mind the deliberate enthusiasm of the Patriarch of the Shen family. I couldn't help feeling a toothache, I really wanted to pry open the guy's head to see what was inside.

Wang Xiu smiled, not caring about Shen Mo's bared teeth, and said, "You really should obey me."

"Big words, you have mixed up to the level of Zhilong Tuge and Taifu Shaoqing, and then you are Shangshu Langzhong. You have a great future, why are you..." Shen Shen shook his head and sighed, with a look of worthlessness.

Wang Xiu raised her brows, and said calmly: "Fortune is where misfortune depends, and misfortune is what happiness depends on. Let's enjoy it! Time is running out."

While talking, there was a discordant voice: "Which one should I be? It turns out that Lord Wang is here. Disrespect, disrespect."

Wang Xiu curled her lips, she knew who it was without looking, who else could there be besides Shen Qiao?He took a sip of wine and smiled lightly.

Shen Mo's face was very ugly. He invited Wang Xiu to come to his house for a drink, but he didn't think too much about it.Originally, he could go out to have a drink, but he thought it would be more solemn to come to the house, besides, he also has an independent courtyard, so he didn't consider the Shen family's attitude, Shen's sudden intrusion made him unexpected, of course he was not happy.

"Brother, you invited Mrs. Wang for a drink, and you didn't know that you would say something to me and my fourth brother. You are so kind!" A young man in white clothes with a folding fan in his hand, with a face like a crown jade, came in behind Shen Xiao, with a serious expression on his face. Gentle smile.

Wang Xiu glanced at the young man in white, Shen Zhen, the second youngest of the Shen family, he was considered a character after meeting him twice, he even thought that he was somewhat similar to Zhang Qiyuan, even if he had a bit of sharp edge, without Zhang Qiyuan's talent, but he was also A very scheming character, if he can calm down and practice, he can still stand alone.

Seeing Shen Chen come in silently, he knew that nothing was good. The second younger brother was his biggest enemy, but since he became a Jinshi, the tide has risen and all boats have risen, and he has become famous in the bank. for satisfaction.Now that the parents are satisfied, his position is naturally stable, and Shen Zhen has been silent for a few years. Although he keeps making small moves, he dare not confront him head-on.

Who would have thought that a brother-in-law would come here today, obviously looking for trouble!He said slowly: "Aren't you taking care of business! Since you're here, sit down!"

"Brother, don't be too polite. My younger brother came here because Mr. Wang was here. I wanted to ask something, but I was afraid that my elder brother would scold me, so I simply brought my second brother here."

Shen Mo knew that these two things were not good, frowned and said: "Wen Shi and I have a drink to discuss something, since you don't want to do it, let's change another day!"

Shen Xia ignored the silence and chased away the guests, and said with a smile: "Master Wang is dismissed from office, what else can I do?"
