Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 301 - From Hu Chen to Han Pass 9
Li Gang was stunned, and lost his voice: "Yuanzhong, what do you say?"

"Wang Xiu played alone last night, saying that Bo Jigong is loyal to the country, which can be of great use." Wu Min roughly explained the situation last night. There is no impenetrable wall in the world, and there are no secrets in times of crisis. Which minister is in the palace? It doesn't matter, the people around the emperor, who doesn't contact the outside world, everyone is really good.

Li Gang was silent for a long time before he said: "The crown prince is respectful and thrifty. Once the official family leaves the capital, even the emperor can do it. If the name of the herdsman in Kaifeng is not right, it will not go well. Once the Jurchen soldiers come to the city, how can the crown prince recruit heroes to guard the city under the name of the herdsman of Kaifeng? Since Wang Xiu has already spoken, and Yuan Zhong, as a minister, should give advice even more."

"I'm thinking about whether to fight for a prison country." Wu Min said hesitantly.

Li Gang's complexion changed, and he said sharply: "No, absolutely not, Yuanzhong is a university, how can you not know that Tang Suzong Lingwu ascended the throne? Let the warriors work, but the succession was not proposed by Emperor Ming. Every time I see this, I am always full of emotions. I think Wang Xiu has made a good start no matter what his intentions are. Yuanzhong should take advantage of the situation and give advice Your Majesty abdicates to let the virtuous. If the crown prince succeeds, Jurchen will retreat in panic, and the world will return to peace. This is also a great opportunity for the Yuanzhong name to go down in history."

Wu Min's blood boiled when he heard it. What Li Gang said was good. It is definitely a very honorable event to be able to turn the tide and support the new king to ascend the throne. Can he not be tempted?

After a moment of emotion, he couldn't help saying: "What should I do? Bo Ji taught me."

Li Gang is well-known in history, and he is loyal and straightforward, but he is definitely not a fool. Can a fool be admitted to Jinshi?You must know that the Jinshi department in the Song Dynasty is a hundred times more difficult than the foolish stereotyped writing in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and poetry and prose alone will kill people.My mind is not spinning fast, can I become Taichang Shaoqing?It's a big joke.

He pondered for a while and said cautiously: "Cai Xianggong has favored the official family, you can start with him."

The East Palace was not peaceful either. There had been rumors that Zhao Heng couldn't sit still, but when he got the news, it was already very late. Neither Geng Nanzhong nor Zhang Qiyuan could enter the East Palace, so he had no choice but to walk around in front of Zhu Lian.

"Officials, don't walk around, my eyes are dazzled." Zhu Lian embroidered female red, casually said.

Zhao Heng stopped, smiled obediently, but said hastily: "I don't know if it's true or not. The officials always like to be suspicious. If they believe that I instigated it, they will be doomed."

"Wang Zhige asked the officials to open Fengmu for the officials. Isn't it risky? How can the officials take care of themselves and not ask about other people's life?" .

"My lady, don't get angry, I'm not restless, I said something wrong!" Zhao Huan hurriedly explained, for fear that Zhu Lian would be displeased, but he ignored him for half a year! "Officials, my slaves don't want to contradict the officials, but Wang Zhige paved the way for the succession of the officials. This kind of favor is not small, and the officials should record it." Zhu Lian said lightly.

Zhao Huan frowned slightly, and said displeasedly: "I still don't know what his purpose is."

"No matter what the purpose is, Kaifeng Mu let the officials have a good name, and they should be reused if they are talents. This is what I say." Zhu Lian picked up needlework and got busy with his own affairs.

For some reason, Zhao Huan was not anxious, and it was reported on the third day that Geng Nanzhong and Zhang Qiyuan rushed into the East Palace and heard the shocking news.

At this time, the prime ministers Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan, Cai You and Tong Guan of the Privy Council, Zhang Bangchang, Zhao Ye, Yu Wencuizhong, Cai Mao, Hebei Xuanyu envoy Yu Wenxuzhong, and Hebei Zhizhi envoy Wang Fan were all in the Chuigong Hall. .

Wu Min met Zhao Ji alone in Yuhua Pavilion, and the monarch and ministers talked for a long time before they came out. It happened that Wang Xiu came to report the emergency military situation, and the two walked across from each other.

"Master Wu." Wang Xiu knew it well, and hurriedly saluted.According to their duties, he and Wu Min are neck and neck, but their qualifications are far behind, so there is nothing wrong with prior courtesy.

Because Wang Xiu stepped forward and spoke for Sun Fu and Xu Han, which made him feel good. Wu Min was also very gentle, and said with a smile: "The Zhige and Ren are all in charge. You and I are in charge of the provincial court, so there is no need to be polite."

Wang Xiu would be really stupid if he wanted to take Wu Min's words seriously. He smiled and said, "Where are you going, my lord?"

"I've just finished playing, and I'm going to Dutang." Wu Min didn't shy away from it, instead he said with a smile, "Zhige proposed that the crown prince be the shepherd of Kaifeng, and that's why I'm here."

"Could it be..." Wang Xiu was startled, and then remembered something.

Wu Min smiled leisurely, cupped his hands, and said, "Go straight to the pavilion!"

Wang Xiugang stepped into the arched door and turned around, looking at the back of Wu Min who had turned around the Hall of Imperial Instruments, secretly thinking, it seems that Wu Min has already convinced Zhao Ji that the Song Dynasty will enter the era of Zhao Huan in a few days, and he doesn't know if he has done enough , is there anything else to do?He suddenly realized that he had lost a layer of consideration.

But he said that Wu Min came directly to Dutang to meet Li Bangyan, and immediately said: "The officials have agreed, and I will ask you to list the terms today. I will lock up the Academy tonight, and I happen to be on duty, so please ask me to play for me." Please, let the officials call other scholars."

Li Bangyan shook his head, hesitantly said: "No, all the scholars are at home, how can I bother them, let's wait until tomorrow."

"Sir, it's not too late, otherwise things will change." Wu Min was not reconciled, and finally persuaded Zhao Ji, and he didn't want any accidents to happen.

"Yuanzhong, stay safe and don't be impatient. I'll go to see you tomorrow." Li Bangyan didn't agree with anything. There wasn't enough fuss these days!Let people live?
Wu Min knew Li Bangyan's difficulties, so he no longer forced himself, so he had to stay in the academy by himself, and drafted the two systems of cultivating teachers and he Guan.

Wang Xiujin reported the military situation, how can there be any good situation!A pot of rotten meat.

Zhao Ji didn't care either, and said melancholy for a long time: "Ruo Nanxing, is the Qing family going or staying?"

Wang Xiu was stunned. He never thought of going south with Zhao Ji. You see, all the ministers who went south are Zhao Ji's cronies. Which one has good fruit?If he really went, don't talk about his own plan, just settling accounts after the fall is unbearable, let's save it!However, it can also be seen from this that Zhao Ji treats him favorably, can he leave his post without authorization if he agrees to the decree?Obviously impossible.

He thought of Zhong Liqiu and Shen Mo, they must not stay in the capital, and thinking of this, he said loudly: "Your Majesty, the banking business has been suspended at present, it is useless for Zhong Liqiu and Shen Mo to stay in the capital, can they be put elsewhere? "

Zhao Ji glanced at Wang Xiu, his gaze was particularly complicated, he sighed lightly, and said, "The Qing family really don't want to go south with me?"

"The family and the country are in crisis. I am the defender of the city, and welcome your majesty back to Luan." Wang Xiu said firmly.

Zhao Ji looked at Wang Xiu for a while, and sighed: "People say that crisis depends on people's hearts. I am very relieved that the Qing family has this kind of heart. Anyway, Wu Min is on duty at the Academy and asked him to draft an imperial edict. Zhongliqiu knows Zhenzhou. Silence the Maritime Merchant Division."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wang Xiu heaved a sigh of relief. Letting Zhong Liqiu and Shen Mo go now is definitely not appropriate, but fortunately, it is not shameful to win a job for them. If there is no accident, at least they can avoid the disaster next year .

"Your Majesty, I think that Your Majesty is lucky to be in the South. All the officials of the three provinces and the Privy Council will stay in the capital and follow the order of the crown prince."

Zhao Ji nodded, and said again: "If the crown prince is to supervise the country, how will it be arranged?"

"Your Majesty, if the crown prince is allowed to supervise the country, he can let the attendants, the officials of the two provinces, the chief security officer, and the prince's subordinates. But, but I have concerns..." Wang Xiu looked embarrassed, and he didn't notice the servant next to him. , with an ugly face.

Zhao Ji asked in surprise, "What worries?"

"I asked the crown prince to order Kaifeng Mu, but I didn't confirm your Majesty's Nanxing. Now that your majesty has made up his mind, the crown prince's supervision of the country is not justified, and he can't order all the officials, recruit heroes to serve, and can't deter Jurchen." Wang Xiu said. No pressure.

Zhao Ji was silent for a while, Wang Xiu already understood what she meant, more clearly than what Wu Min said, the servant's expression also eased, and he glanced at Wang Xiu approvingly.

"Your Majesty Nanxing doesn't need to make a big fanfare, as long as the prime minister is the emissary of the palace, two or three affairs officers will be enough, and the affairs in Tokyo will be directly conveyed to the palace."

Zhao Ji was silent for a long time, hesitatingly asked: "Can you keep Kaifeng?"

Wang Xiu looked at Zhao Ji with firm eyes, and said firmly, "Yes."

Zhao Ji sighed, and said sadly: "The Qing family will step down first, I will think about it."

Wang Xiu retreated and did not return to the Privy Council, and went directly to the bank's office, and went straight to the public hall. Seeing that Zhong Liqiu and Shen Mo were there, she said before she could salute, "Sir, clean up immediately, an edict may be issued tomorrow." Order, you go out to know Zhenzhou, and Jiang Ning, the brother of Zhi, will be in charge of the Maritime Department."

"What's going on?" Zhong Liqiu looked at Wang Xiu with a serious face.

There was a burst of surprise in silence, and then he calmed down, realizing that Wang Xiu hurried over again at this time, which was very strange.

Wang Xiu smiled awkwardly, and said: "A gentleman does not stand under the wall, but you are a great talent, and there is a wider world."

"Don't you have confidence?" Zhong Liqiu looked at Wang Xiu indifferently.

"Sir, the Jurchens will retreat, but..." Wang Xiu was depressed for a while, and he couldn't say that he knew all the developments, which was too shocking.

"My family and country are in danger, how can I just leave, and it's not good to leave you alone." Zhong Liqiu politely refused, never thinking of running away.

"Sir, the official family has a plan for Nanxing. Once the court structure changes drastically, it will be difficult for you to go out again. This is a great opportunity." Wang Xiu couldn't make it too clear. Zhao Huan is a two hundred and five, and he can't guarantee whether Zhongliqiu can do it. To get out of trouble tomorrow, Zhong Liqiu and Shen Mo must not be in any danger.

"So, the situation in the imperial court is really going to change a lot!" Zhong Liqiu's face gradually became serious, as if he was seriously considering it.

Silence curled his lips, and said hastily: "Wen Shi, what are you going to do, are you going south with the official family?"
