Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 453 Moving to the South 5
Of course, in this chaotic world, having an armed force that is sincere to oneself can indeed make anyone excited, but the gains and losses involved are taboos of the world, and one has to weigh them.In his own words, Yue Fei died not at the hands of Zhao Gou and Qin Hui, but at the hands of the Song Dynasty's political system that lasted for more than a hundred years and the entire civil ruling group, which was the inevitable result of the stability of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Now that the officials under his command are incorporated into the Dianqian Division, he has the prestige he has accumulated in the army, and he has been promoted and reused as a general. I believe that he is sure to take control of this army again at the critical moment. After all, there are a group of people who follow him sincerely. general.At the same time, he had to re-examine Zhu Lian. He was really surprised by her political talent and meticulous political mind.

"One more thing, I almost forgot in the past few days, Emperor Maode and Lin Wanyi are back and live next door to my house."

"Sister Lin Yue, the Empress said good things for you. It seems that good people will be rewarded!" Zhu Lian looked at Wang Xiu with a half-smile, without mentioning Zhao Fujin.

"In this troubled world, what is the crime of a little concubine in the palace. Besides, there are people who can often talk to you to relieve your boredom, can't you send sister Lin Yue into the palace today?" Wang Xiu blushed slightly, a little bit hesitant.

"Don't worry too much about being a concubine. Just stay with you for a few days and don't make a fuss."

"Emperor Maode?" Wang Xiu really had a toothache. How could he have thought that Zhu Lian's refusal and leaving the two aunts with him would be a hard job!
"Oh, Fourth Sister! Back then, the Empress Dowager married her to you. No wonder she was so caring. It's really hard for an official to be the seed of affection." Zhu Lian gouged out Wang Xiu's eyes, and seemed to have infinite resentment.

Wang Xiu blushed, she was really ashamed!He glanced at Zhu Lian with a toothache, wishing to plug her little mouth, did anyone say that about others?
"Forget it, follow Fourth Sister's wish, don't force her to stay." Zhu Lian felt sore in his heart, and finally gave Wang Xiu some face.

"The minister will leave first." Wang Xiu couldn't stay any longer.

Zhu Lian nodded and didn't say anything else, just watched Wang Xiu's back slowly walk out of the hall, but his heart was full of guilt for him.

"Second Sister." Qing Jun came to Zhu Lian's side.

"Qing Jun, am I being too selfish?" Zhu Lian sighed quietly.

She had to think about the Zhao family and her son. Although she believed that Wang Xiu was different from others, it would not be a good thing for one person to control such a huge army for a long time.For too long, human greed will corrode human nature, and who can guarantee that they will not be conquered by the magic power of power?

The imbalance between power and status is quite dangerous. Maybe today Wang Xiu will be content with the status quo, but in the future as the power continues to deepen, who can predict what will happen. They are also human beings, once the power is out of the shackles, it will be terrible.Even if Wang Xiu didn't have other thoughts, what would those arrogant soldiers under his command think?In order to be rich and powerful, Wang Xiu will definitely be unable to help herself if she adds a yellow robe again.

Of course, she has another level of worry, that is, the founding ideology and system of the Song Dynasty cannot allow Wang Xiu to master the armed forces for a long time. She wants to help Wang Xiu avoid the hostility of the bureaucratic group. Let go.

"Don't blame me, I hope you can figure it out!" Zhu Lian muttered to himself.

Regarding giving up the military power, Wang Xiu didn't have much complaints, but she was forced to lose, and she was not reconciled, very reconciled.

Shut yourself in the study for a while, carefully read Zhu Lian's thoughts for him, and return to the court at the right time, which can better reflect his loyalty to the court. The matter of Zhouzhou was completely erased, and what was left to the scholars of the world was his unprecedented prestige of fighting to the death and rejuvenating the court.

He has gained huge political capital, and with such prestige and capital, he doesn't have to be afraid of anything at all. Civil servants have huge prestige, and often the emperor has to treat them with courtesy, and even use this to fight against the emperor.

Of course, he didn't need to fight against the emperor. What Zhu Lian did was a good thing for him.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on the door, his mind gradually calmed down, and he said calmly, "Come in."

Dressed in a white shirt, Zong Liang pushed the door and entered, bowed to Wang Xiu and said, "Sir, Mrs. Lin from the inner house, please see me."

Wang Xiu brought back Zhao Fujin and sister Lin Yue, and placed them in Qin Xianrong's house, where no one else could enter, and even Zong Liang and others didn't know their identities.

"Oh, hurry up, please!"

While she was in a trance, Miss Lin Yue walked in lightly, Wang Xiu hurriedly stood up to greet her, cupped her hands and said, "I've seen Wanyi before, I don't know why Wanyi is here?"

Sister Lin Yue's face was a little restrained, and she looked at Wang Xiu a little bit dodged, but she just saw it like a bird's eye, and quickly avoided it, feeling deeply blessed, and said softly: "Thank you for taking me in. Seeing that the bachelor is busy with state affairs, the concubine is still here." I haven't thanked the bachelor for his great kindness, but now that I see the bachelor's kindness, I'm here to thank you."

Wang Xiu hurriedly helped Sister Lin Yue with both hands. When she just stretched out her hand, she realized that the other party was also a concubine of the Supreme Being. It was inappropriate for her to support her like this. .”

Sister Lin Yue was also taken aback. She didn't expect Wang Xiu to reach out to help her, so she took a half step back subconsciously, and said falteringly, "Scholars don't need to be polite. I'm a concubine in the inner palace, so I can't afford a bachelor's gift."

It is also reasonable to say that the status of literati is very high. It is definitely not the depraved Ming Dynasty, but also the enslaved Qing Dynasty. Even the queen can't let the prime minister perform the ceremony of looking up to the dust.Similarly, when a concubine bows to the ruler, the ruler does not need to pay back. This is the identity of a literati. Wang Xiu took a step back and said awkwardly: "Wanyi, please take a seat."

"Thank you Maester."

The two sat down not too far away from each other, and were speechless for a while, each thinking about their own thoughts, looking stiff and at a loss.Wang Xiu is a man after all, he still needs to take the initiative in some things, and he can't let a woman speak, so she spoke first: "Wanyi."

"Bachelor, don't call me Wanyi anymore. I will leave the palace as a concubine, and I never want to go back."

Wang Xiu looked at Sister Lin Yue in surprise, her eyes were a little impolite, and Sister Lin Yue who was staring straight at her felt a little uncomfortable.

"What is the order of the bachelor, please tell me."

Wang Xiu suddenly felt that she had made a mistake, quickly retracted her eyes, and said with a smile: "Why did Wanyi say this, the next official will report to the Empress Dowager, and after a few days, the Empress Dowager will make Wanyi a concubine."

"Thank you for your kindness. It's a fluke for my concubine to survive this catastrophe. How dare I have any unreasonable thoughts." Sister Lin Yue sighed softly. Standing up, Yingying bowed down, and said: "I was saved by a scholar. If the scholar does not dislike my concubine, I am willing to change my name and surname in this life. Even if I am a slave and handmaiden to serve the scholar all the time, I am willing."

Wang Xiu was shocked, and she didn't care about etiquette. She hurriedly stepped forward to help Lin Yue up, and said hastily: "Isn't this killing the lower officials? Hurry up and get up."

Unexpectedly, Sister Lin Yue's beautiful eyes were slightly wet, her jade hands tightly grasped Wang Xiu's arm, and she said sadly: "I don't have any wrong thoughts, I just want to repay the bachelor's kindness. But the concubine resisted with all her strength, and was rescued by a noble chief later..." A daughter's family, who had spoken to such a degree, had already felt very shy, and her voice became deeper and deeper.

A concubine would not attract attention, so instead of letting Sister Lin Yue wither in the cold wall of the deep palace, it would be better to release the deep palace and let her be free.Wang Xiu didn't think about herself, and she couldn't think about it, because there was a sister with a more sensitive identity!How should it end, how much risk would it take to keep her by his side?
He had to weigh it up, not to mention that the matter had been reported to Zhu Lian, and there was no room for maneuver.

"Wanyi, I don't know how you are with Diji?" When Wang Xiu glanced at Sister Lin Yue's extremely sad face, his heart was in a mess, and he consciously changed the topic.

"Emperor Ji is depressed, so I invite the bachelor to take a look."

"Oh." Wang Xiu had a headache for a while, he really wanted to avoid Zhao Fujin, but Zhu Lian's attitude made him embarrassed again, he couldn't let Zhao Fujin go, maybe he had to persuade them himself, why mess with these little ladies!At the beginning, it was better to send them directly to the palace to avoid these troubles.

Even though it was early spring and the land was green, the wind was still quite strong, and it was uncomfortable to blow on the face. I had to apply a layer of oil on my mouth, so as not to let the knife-like spring wind crack my lips. The spring breeze like a spring is just nonsense.

"It's already time, it should be here!" Qin Hui looked up at the sun in the sky, and complained anxiously.

After the Jin army withdrew from the siege, the imperial court issued a series of appeals to summon foreign ministers to return to Beijing. Due to the conclusion of the North-South Covenant, the Grand Marshal's Mansion was no longer necessary.

On this point, the two governments showed a rare unanimity, and their attitude was quite firm. They also set a time limit for returning to Beijing, and there was no room for maneuver.

Today, it was Zhao Gou who led the return to the capital, and Tang Ge and Qin Hui were ordered to welcome him in the long pavilion. The court still wanted to protect the face of the prince, so they came here to show off their face.

Tang Ge looked at ease, sitting peacefully in the pavilion drinking tea, seeing Qin Hui's impatient appearance, felt very funny, thinking about Qin Hui's ambiguity about moving the capital, and his relationship with Wang Xiu seemed to be quite friendly, but When it comes to right and wrong, you can still be sure, but at most it is because you are unstable and have a bad character.

But he never thought that in another historical fork, he would be accused of being a traitor to the country by Li Gang, who was cited as his support today.

"Don't be bored during the meeting, come, come, come, sit down and have a cup of fragrant tea, and you have the right to quench your thirst."

Qin Hui looked back at Tang Ge, and could hear the sarcasm in the last four words, which he secretly remembered, with his signature smile still on his face, and said lightly, "Brother Qin is so elegant!" He sat down before him, picked up a cup of tea, and said: "All the princes who have been abroad have returned to Beijing for the past few days, and they are really irritable. Fortunately, the king will not greet him after he arrives, and he can rest for a few days."
