Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 375
The next day, Chen Gongfu, secretary of the provincial school, impeached Li Bangyan, Wang Xiaodi, and Cai Mao.

Li Bangyan didn't know what medicine he had taken, so he had to write a letter to resign on the grounds of making up for the filial piety period. Zhao Huan was still a person who missed his old love. He was protected by Li Bangyan when he was in the East Palace, and he didn't want to let him down.

It's a pity that Li Bangyan is a slippery head. He knows very well that his situation is worrisome, so he can't help but retreat, stick to the south, and deal a devastating blow to the argument of peace. He can't stay on stage anymore, let alone Wu Min didn't agree, even Geng Nanzhong and others wanted to bite him, and if he didn't leave, he would be roasted on the fire.

Taking advantage of the great opportunity, retreating as an advance, there may be a chance to return to the two houses in the future, a little unbearable will lead to chaos and big plans!
Zhao Huan had no choice but to depose Li Bangyan's Taizai that day, and went out to know Dengzhou. Wang Xiaodi, Cai Mao and others were also deposed.However, in order to repay Li Bangyan, he personally wrote the edict, saying that Li Bangyan cared about the country and loved the people, and it was urgent to know the benefits of the society and the army and the people, but outsiders didn't know that's all.

On that day, Wang Xiu watched the imperial court's appointment and dismissal with a cold eye. Zhang Bangchang was the grand minister, Wu Min was the junior minister, Li Gang knew the affairs of the Privy Council, Xu Churen was the Minister of Zhongshu, Tang Ketong knew the Privy Council, Geng Nanzhong was the Zuo Chancellor of Shangshu, and Li Min was the Right Chancellor of Shangshu.

Of course, there are other personnel appointments, such as Zhang Qiyuan Zhibao Wenge, Quan You admonishing the doctor, and becoming a leader of the young and strong faction, what a joyful spring breeze!Due to the retreat of the Jin army, the Jibei system envoy was abolished, Wang Xiu no longer served as the system envoy, and even the false Minister of Rites was also dismissed, and he became a bare Zhilong Tuge without any office.

However, he was not anxious, on the contrary he breathed a sigh of relief. Zhao Huan's dismissal of Jibei's envoy was considered normal. How could Gyeonggi set up an envoy? Isn't this a joke?The servant of the Ministry of Rites is a third-rank official, even if he has power and part-time job, he is also a fourth-rank official. His qualifications are obviously insufficient, so it's better not to think about it. It just happens that no official is light, so naturally someone will plan for him.

As soon as Li Gang became the highest official of the Privy Council, he insisted that Li Bangyan deceived Zhao Huan by ceding the three towns.

At this time, the ministers in charge of the war occupy important positions in the two governments, and they are in an absolutely overwhelming advantage. The whole person is in an unembarrassed position, wishing to kill Wu Min and Li Gang.

Zhao Huan was also very guilty of ceding Junzhou, especially the three towns, and his mental state was constantly changing. Unfortunately, he was not a persistent person, and his focus was still on the southeast. Solving internal conflicts became the first choice.

However, Wang Xiu went to Wu Min's mansion as an appointment, and was led directly into the backyard by the steward. When he just arrived, he saw Wu Min writing in the warm pavilion, and an extremely beautiful girl in green was grinding beside her. Xia Xijun, he raised his brows and saluted with a smile: "Meet your husband."

"Wen Shi is a gifted scholar, and I won't make a fool of myself anymore." After finishing writing and laughing, he said to the girl in green beside him, "Yuan Shan, you like Wang Ci, the right master is right in front of you."

"It turned out to be Lord Wang. I have met you before." The green-clothed girl's beautiful eyes lit up, and she wished Wang Xiu all the best.

Wang Xiu glanced at Yuan Shan, he had also heard that Wu Min had a beautiful maid, Yuan Shan, who polished and painted, she was really flirtatious, and it turned out to be true when she saw her today.It's a pity that he has so many things on his mind, how can he have the time to talk about romance, beauty is like a piece of cake to him, so he forced himself to smile and said: "Little lady, don't be too polite."

Seeing that Wang Xiu didn't even look at her, Yuan Shan couldn't help being very surprised. Visitors from the past were lingering on her delicate body, and this unattractive young minister in front of her didn't even look at her, which aroused her curiosity. He said softly: "I have heard that your lord is very talented, I wonder if I can give you some advice?"

Teach me a bird!I didn't see that I was burning my ass, and I was still playing with words. Wang Xiu was very unhappy with Yuan Shan's faint arrogance, and said in a blunt tone: "Let's go with fate!"

Yuan Shan didn't expect that Wang Xiu would refuse, and he refused quickly, and couldn't help but look embarrassed, but didn't know how to say it.

"Hehe." Seeing Yuan Shan being deflated, Wu Min hastily joked, "It seems that Wen Shi is very annoying to beauties!"

These words reminded Yuan Shan of something, her beautiful eyes flickered with contempt, obviously she was contemptuous of Wang Xiu who once lingered in the smoke and dust, but she forgot that she was also a woman, although she served Wu Min with talent, but in the end she was still a beauty.

Otherwise, if you invite an old beauty in her [-]s and [-]s, even if she has the title of the most talented woman in the world, Wu Min will respect her and probably won't care too much. In the final analysis, some men have a sense of success.

Wang Xiu didn't scribble at all, and he also knew that Wu Min would not avoid the distant mountains, so he cut to the chase and said, "I don't know what I want to teach you, sir?"

Wu Min looked at Wang Xiu with great interest, and waved to invite Wang Xiu to sit down. After the maid served tea and stepped back, she smiled and said, "Nianhan is going south, I wonder what Wenshi's plan is to defeat the enemy?"

Wang Xiu's heart shuddered, realizing that Wu Min's rendezvous with Wu Min meant a lot!
"My lord, Nianhan has no intention of going south. The court needn't worry about it. The most urgent thing is to catch up with Wulibu and cut off Jurchen's arm. Other things can be let go." Wang Xiu has selfishness and purpose, but there are some things that he It must be said that this is not because he is afraid of affecting his plans, but because of his principles and conscience. A person without principles and conscience cannot go far.

Whether the court needs to say it or not, but he has to say it.

Wu Min looked at Wang Xiu in surprise, and lost his voice: "Then how does Wenshi judge the purpose of Nianhan going south?"

"It's very simple. Nianhan entered Hedong with the elite of the Jurchen clan. It was originally a decisive battle for the main force of the West-seeking army. However, he failed in the Taiyuan city. Seeing that Wuli is not going well, even if he is not jealous, he will definitely clear the strongholds around Taiyuan and take precautions. The counterattack of the imperial soldiers and horses." Wang Xiufeng smiled lightly, and said freely: "I never said that he would attack Kaifeng, but only said that he would threaten Gyeonggi. What's more, there are mothers at both ends of the Yisheng Army. Mother, he would be a fool if he didn't take advantage of it."

Seeing Wang Xiu's vulgarity, Yuan Shan couldn't help but face Feixia, and gouged out Wang Xiu's eyes, saying that he was still a Jinshi, a well-known scholar-bureaucrat in Shilin. , Xianggong has always been gentle and polite, and he will never imitate rude people, which is off-putting.

Wu Min fell into Wang Xiu's judgment completely. He trusted Wang Xiu. As for the affairs with Cai Jing, it was true that he refused to be the son-in-law of the Cai family. What attachment, only the principle of being a human being, even if you were promoted by Wang Fu, so what?You can't say that you are a treacherous villain!
Wang Xiu has created one miracle after another since he became an official, especially his military genius, which made him convinced.

"You mean that the captives will besiege Taiyuan for a long time?" He is also a hero, drawing inferences from one instance to another.

"Exactly." Wang Xiu glanced at Wu Min, and said decisively: "My lord thinks that Taiyuan is an important town in Hedong. If we can win Taiyuan and control half of Hedong, we can attack and defend in advance. Once the imperial court loses Hedong, it cannot defend inside." Kaifeng cannot protect Hebei from outside, and even Shaanxi cannot protect itself."

Wu Min's eyelids twitched. Wang Xiu's assumption had a reasonable side. The court could persist after losing the three towns. At worst, move the capital to Luoyang and use the Hulao and Taihang barriers to hold on.The price of losing Hedong must not be borne. It will cause Luoyang and Kaifeng to become the front lines, while Hebei and Shaanxi will be attacked by the enemy.

Wang Xiu didn't care about Wu Min's thoughts, and continued: "Of course, Nianhan has no intention of going south to Kaifeng, but war is full of accidents, there is no absolute judgment, and everything is constantly changing due to changes in the situation. If they really If we conquer Zezhou and control Mengzhou, Kaifeng will face another siege, which is even more severe than the siege of Wolibu. Mr. Xiang, this is by no means alarmist talk, but something that is very likely to happen."

Wu Min was flustered in his heart. More than half of the Song army's main force went north, and Kaifeng was relatively empty inside and outside. Once the Jin army rushed out of Taihang Mountain, it would definitely be a nightmare.He insisted that it was not true to go north to attack Woli, and he was very determined to wipe out Wolibu, but he absolutely did not want to risk Kaifeng being breached. For a while, he even had the urge to bring back the chasing army.

"Sir, don't believe the rumors." Seeing Wu Min lost his composure, Yuan Shan couldn't help but glared at Wang Xiu with a very resentful expression.A scholar who opens his mouth to speak foul words, but shuts his mouth to march and fight, makes her feel very displeased.

"Don't talk nonsense." Wu Min scolded softly, but he didn't give up his harsh words.

Wang Xiu glanced at Yuanshan, his eyes were extremely calm, he didn't take this beauty seriously, typical big chested and brainless.

"Sanggong." Yuan Shan had never been scolded by Wu Min before, but he didn't expect to be scolded by Wu Min with all his good intentions. People show pity.

"Wen Shi, if you go to the front, will you be able to withstand it?" Wu Min ignored Yuan Shan, he admired Wang Xiu's talent, and his eyes sparkled with hope.

Wang Xiu's heart was beating violently. It seemed that his thoughts were not in vain. As expected, Wu Min became the first pusher. He tried his best to control his excitement, and his face was extremely calm. No one could see his real thoughts.

Seeing Wang Xiu's silence, Wu Min thought he was unwilling to leave the court, so he couldn't help comforting him, "Now it's the post-chaos era, and it's a bit wronged to let Wenshi go out, but Wenshi has both literary and military skills, and the court can't let the warriors do whatever they want." , I still need you to run around. Tired.”
