Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 377
Not long after, Zhang Qiyuan retreated, Zhao Huan returned to the cabinet, sat on the couch again, and sighed: "Going in and out, it doesn't give people a little peace of life."

"What's the matter, which one offended the officials?" Zhu Lian asked casually with her eyebrows raised slightly.

Zhao Huan took a sip of tea absently, and said, "The captives attacked Fenzhou, and they also intend to go south. The two governments unanimously recommended Wang Xiu to go to Zhimengzhou."

Zhu Lian's beautiful eyes twinkled slightly, his expression was almost unchanged, and he said calmly: "Could it be that the imperial court doesn't have generals, so they have to use literati, these old officials are really ashamed and not ashamed."

"Wang Xiu can be regarded as the one who knows soldiers among literati." Zhao Heng hesitated again and again, and finally told the truth.

"Oh." Zhu Lian finally raised a little interest, and said indifferently: "If you only know Mengzhou, it may be difficult for him to display his talents."

"What do you mean, lady?" Zhao Huan looked at Zhu Lian suspiciously, and instinctively felt that his wife was going to raise the price flat again.

"What's the harm in giving him soldiers and horses all the way?" Zhu Lian said as expected.

"His qualifications are too low, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public, so we should give him a state first." Zhao Huan shook his head, thinking of Zhang Qiyuan's words just now, he seemed to be determined, and said: "Besides, Mengzhou has [-] troops. The minister can cooperate properly and keep the captives at the east of the river, which is considered a great achievement."

Zhu Lian raised her eyebrows slightly, and said calmly: "Let him know a state, it's better to stay in the imperial court, and everyone will follow the order and make suggestions for the officials."

Zhao Huan saw that Zhu Lian valued Wang Xiu so much, and recalled Zhu Lian's attitude towards Wang Xiu in the past, he couldn't help but feel jealous again, and said very bluntly: "Wang Xiu came to know Mengzhou, and it was recommended by the important ministers of the two governments. Let's talk about Mengzhou To control the Taihang Pass, Wang Xiu is the most suitable candidate as a literati and a soldier."

When it came to the decision of the two governments, Zhu Lian understood that Zhao Huan had made up his mind and knew that it must be Zhang Qiyuan's idea, so he didn't say any more, so as not to cause Zhao Huan's displeasure, but said indifferently: "Officials do what they want, so they should be My concubine never said that."

"It's not unreasonable what the lady said, you have to be cautious about the two governments." Seeing Zhu Lian's displeasure, Zhao Huan hurriedly eased his tone.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Heng's weakness made Zhu Lian even more bored, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, and he didn't speak.

The next day, Wang Xiu's release and Yuwen Cuizhong's dismissal came down. Zhao Huan dismissed Yuwen Cuizhong and changed his Zhijiangning Mansion to Zhao Ji. Lu Zhuanyun's deputy envoy ordered him to take office immediately.

Last night, Zhu Lian's lukewarm attitude made Zhao Huan really unbearable, and finally couldn't hold back a cup of tea, and it was another **** night.Early in the morning, Wu Min went into the palace and muttered a few words, he finally made up his mind, but Zhang Qiyuan said a few more words, his determination softened a bit, and giving Wang Xiu a Cao Si envoy could be regarded as an account for Zhu Lian.

This is not considered unsatisfactory in terms of human feelings. After all, a guard is also a Cao Si, and his status is not the same as that of an ordinary guard.It's just that the Hedong Army is in an emergency situation, and it's reassuring to arrive at the office earlier. No matter what others think of Wang Xiu, no one dares to criticize his military command ability, even the old commander of the Western Army appreciates it.

Under the suggestion of Zhang Bangchang, Wu Min and others, Zhao Huan agreed that 78, which was about to return to Jingdong, would be assigned to Jingxi, and Wang Xiu would be cheap and restrained, as a backup force to support Hedong, which was regarded as meeting Wang Xiu's request.

"Wenshi, it's a last resort to release the situation to the outside world. I hope that Wenshi will take the responsibility of the family and the country as the most important thing, and keep the captives from going south." Zhang Qiyuan was a little guilty. He first suggested that Wang Xiu should be released. It is impossible not to spread the word. At the last moment, he plotted against Wang Xiu again, changed Shuai Si to Cao Si, and severely suppressed Wang Xiu.

"Brother Zichu, it's our duty to do our best for the imperial court." Wang Xiu didn't mind. Zhang Qiyuan's small calculations were not elegant in his eyes. He smiled at Fengyun's purpose before the sudden change.He didn't reach out to hit the smiling face, so he wanted to see Zhang Qiyuan's ending. As Zhao Huan's confidant minister, he had the ability to escape.

If he is an important minister, he will admire Zhao Huan very much if he goes hunting in the north with him.

As for Zhong Liqiu, he still regrets that the husband has no plans to go out, and he can't go against Zhong Liqiu's wishes. As an unimportant official, Zhong Liqiu stays in Kaifeng as long as he doesn't force himself to stand out, it is not too dangerous.

Zhang Qiyuan's eyelids twitched, and he hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes! I really want to let it out, but unfortunately the officials didn't give me the chance."

"The crisis of the family and the country is just when we are serving. Brother Zichu, why don't you invite the big county of Hebei to do your best for the government." Wang Xiu smiled sincerely. He wished to kick Zhang Qiyuan out, but at least he could maintain his peace of mind.

Seeing Wang Xiu's sincere gaze, Zhang Qiyuan couldn't help but twitched his mouth, telling him to go to Hebei, wouldn't it kill him!This damned Wang Dalang is full of bad words.He slandered in his heart, but finally decided that Wang Xiu had a lot of grievances. He really didn't want to let it go. What's the matter with Hebei."

Looking at Zhang Qiyuan who is righteous and Lingran, Wang Xiu's mouth twitched, staring at Zhang Qiyuan strangely, slowly nodded and said: "Brother Zichu, Gao Yi!"

Wang Xiu only had one day in the capital. He visited Qin Hui, Fan Zongyin, Zhong Liqiu and others respectively. There were laughter and disappointment, but he was really about to leave.

It was necessary to resign, but Zhao Huan thought it was too hasty, and Wang Xiu didn't really want to see this neurotic official Zhao, so he happily stayed at home with Qin Moyan and Wen Xijun all night.However, in the evening, an unexpected guest came.

"Qing Jun, why are you here?" Wang Xiu said calmly.

"Second sister asked me to tell the officials that they will return to court as soon as possible." Qing Jun avoided Wang Xiu's sharp gaze.

Wang Xiu didn't expect Zhu Lian to worry about him. He really didn't want to have anything to do with Zhu Lian anymore, and he couldn't make mistakes again and again, but Zhu Lian's concern touched the string buried in his heart again, and he couldn't help saying: "Qing Jun, tell Second Sister, don't ask me any more, don't let me come back, I should come back, I will come back by myself."

Qingjun bit her red lips tightly, feeling extremely conflicted in her heart. She knew Zhu Lian's shocking secret, but she couldn't tell Wang Xiu, so she could only complain bitterly: "Officer, Second Sister is very bitter."

Wang Xiu's heart tightened, and seeing that Qing Jun seemed to hesitate to speak, she couldn't help sighing: "Too entangled, I can only harm her."

"My servant doesn't know the plan of the official, and the second sister has something hard to say, but she treats the official the same as before. I hope the manager can understand the difficulties of the second sister." Qing Jun sighed softly, and finally kept the secret in his heart.

Wang Xiu stared at Qing Jun for a while, recalling the first time he met Zhu Lian, and the second time he hugged Zhu Lian in his arms by accident, his heart seemed to be a little shaken.

In a daze, he bit the tip of his tongue hard to wake himself up and keep his mind in top condition. No matter what, he couldn't do it a third time, and he couldn't make any more mistakes!Especially at critical moments, one must be cautious and cautious, he kept admonishing himself, and said decisively: "Qing Jun, I will leave tomorrow, you go back and tell Second Sister that the release is just what I want, and let her not interfere at will, do you understand?" ?”

Qingjun looked at Wang Xiu in surprise, her beautiful eyes were full of disbelief, she couldn't understand and said: "Guanren, you have to think about it, as long as the second sister works a little bit, the official will be back in less than a year." .”

Wang Xiu had feelings for Zhu Lian, but he was more rational, looking directly at Qing Jun with his eyes like sharp swords, and said decisively: "Go back and tell the truth, I will say it one last time, change it back, and I will come back myself."

Qingjun seemed to be on the top of a prehistoric beast, those deep eyes faintly revealed a murderous intent that made her worry, and made people feel cold. It was no longer the handsome young man who turned around immediately, bent his bow and put an arrow, and couldn't help but stare at her. Closing his eyes, he took a step back, and said in horror: "Officer, official, maidservant...the maidservant will go now."

Wang Xiu seemed to realize that something was wrong. He withdrew his tyrannical eyes and smiled as much as possible: "Okay, you go back first! Tell the second sister that I have my own plan, and let him not worry." He hesitated for a moment. , said in a deep voice: "I will write a note, and you take it back... No, let me tell you that you remember it well. Once the captives go south again, they will immediately leave the city by all means. Even if the oracle tells you to go back to the city, you cannot go back. Go The farther you go, the better. If you really can’t get away, then you’d rather die than Ouchi, remember?”

Qing Junsu covered his mouth with his hands, and looked at Wang Xiu in surprise, with an expression of disbelief.

Wang Xiu thought that what he had done was benevolent and righteous. He had revealed too much information and couldn't go into details. He looked at Qing Jun and said in a deep voice: "Repeat."

Qingjun was panicked, and it took him several times to repeat it. He was really scared to death by Wang Xiu, so he forced himself to go calmly.

"Officer, what's wrong?"

Wang Xiu stood sullenly at the door of the study, thinking about Zhu Lian over and over again. He really wanted to cut this woman from the depths of his heart. Unfortunately, he claimed to be the reincarnation of a fairy, but he was not a real fairy after all. He couldn't avoid it completely, which made him upset for a while.

In the end, he decided to reject Zhu Lian's help and give her a chance to live. This bad relationship between them was completely buried, and the cause of the past was repaid for the fruit of today.

While feeling melancholy, Qin Xianrong's charming voice came from behind.

"Miss Qin, what are you thinking about?" Wang Xiuzheng was upset, he really didn't want to have any more entanglements with men and women, he couldn't bear the favor of a beauty anymore.

Qin Xianrong came to Wang Xiu and said softly, "Officer, what are you worried about?"

"It's nothing, I'm leaving tomorrow, I can't watch you go." A burst of elegant fragrance came, Wang Xiu frowned, and subconsciously touched her nose.

Qin Xianrong smiled, and said softly: "Guard, my concubine wishes you a safe return, don't let the elder sister and the thirteenth sister worry."

There is no nonsense about meritorious deeds, it is all about the tenderness of the youngest daughter, Wang Xiu turned to look at Qin Xianrong, with those beautiful eyes full of affection, how could he not know the beauty's heart, feeling in his heart, softly said: "Miss Qin is not young It's gone, isn't it?"
