Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 691 Changes in the situation

The fat man left the lazy mansion and turned straight into the alley. The curfew at night was simply not a concern for an envoy as skilled as him.

After evading several teams of patrolling patrols, he came to a small alley. He hid himself in the darkness of the alley and observed for a while. After making sure that no one was following him, he walked quickly into the depths of the dark alley and came to a low courtyard. In front of the door, there were five knocks rhythmically.

The door opened, and the fat man walked in, and said to a middle-aged man in civilian clothes, "Is your lord there?"

"My lord has been waiting for the captain for a long time."

"Thank you." The fat man nodded, his fat face trembling, he turned and entered the room.

Qin Min was sitting on the kang, lighting a few oil lamps and reading a book, and a pot of wine was being boiled in the dark on the kang, when he saw the fat man coming in, he got up and got off the kang with a smile, and said in a warm voice, "Thanks for your hard work, eat two cups to warm up your body." .”

The fat man was not very polite either, sitting on the kang and having a few cups of hot wine, he felt warmer.

Qin Min was not in a hurry, but just looked at the flickering oil lamp.

"Talan is extremely difficult to deal with, and there is still a lot of leeway, but everything is under control, after all, no one doesn't like Zhenbao beauty." Qin Min didn't need to ask, the fat man explained the situation when he met Taran, He also said: "The Jurchen ruler has already agreed to return it to Hebei, on the condition that the court accepts the title of minister and pays tribute."

The Dajin regime established by Jurchen was recognized as early as Zhao Huan. It was officially honored as Dajin, and ministers were not allowed to become captives or pigs and sheep in public. Most Han people despise the Jurchens, and the titles have not changed much.

That’s right, when the Song Dynasty officially recognized Khitan as the Northern Dynasty, the Khitan nobles underwent Sinicization, and most of them were polite, but they were still not regarded by the scholars of the Song Dynasty. What’s more, the Jurchen barbarians who rose between the white mountains and the black waters were simply ignorant pigs and sheep.

Qin Min poured a cup of hot wine for the fat man, and said with a sneer, "These bastards, when it comes to tricks, they are still far behind, and they will have to work for you tomorrow."

The fat man smiled faintly, took a sip from the wine bowl, and said bluntly, "We're just working hard, and I'm going south tomorrow morning."

Qin Min nodded. It was too hard to transmit the information. From going to Beijing to travel, there are thousands of miles of Guanshan, wind, food and dew, and many customs defenses. The pain is self-evident.

Whether it is the bandits in the mountains or the officials in the military state, they all need to take care of them one by one. If there is a problem in one link, it will affect the overall situation. He said earnestly and earnestly: "Although you have a silver medal, you should try your best to take care of it on the way. Don't be stingy with money."

The hardships on the road are not once or twice, how could the fat man not know that he is a veteran!Relying on the standard appearance of a profiteer, his smiling fat face is very seductive, coupled with his generosity, he made the generals at the pass along the way happy, and even the bandits also called him brothers and sisters, which is a great joy.

However, Qin Min still cared about his subordinates, so he still sighed and said: "My lord is in the land of tigers and wolves, so you have to be careful!"

Qin Min nodded silently, then picked up the bowl and said, "Drink."

The tenth year of Jianyan in the Great Song Dynasty and the early second year of Jin Tianjuan.

The Lord of Gold sent Zhang Tonggu, Minister of the Right Department, as Xuanyu envoy, and Xiao Zhe as deputy envoy to the south to discuss the delivery and negotiation.

Talan, as the right deputy marshal, was in charge of the affairs of the Marshal's residence, and stayed in Shangjing, while Wu Shu, as the left deputy marshal, did not stay in Shangjing for long.I led more than ten guards to the south to sit in Yanshan, and was responsible for supervising the delivery of the army to Hebei. History has completely changed.

However, he left [-] iron cavalry to be incorporated into the bodyguard army, which was independent of the commander of the fourth auxiliary army, known as the leader of the Shangjing Guard. Hold the inner city.

Wushu's southward movement is actually to control the military power. The main force of the Jin Army's field battles are in front of and behind the mountains, and Talan is in charge of the Marshal's Mansion. Main control.

When Wushu arrived at Daxing Mansion, he controlled the two marshals and immediately adjusted the secret preparations for the Southern Expedition.

Wang Xiu seemed very calm and bored. He successfully suppressed the argument of the main battle, and even more successfully let himself dominate the trend of history. It is no longer the history he is familiar with. He will stand on an unfamiliar starting line and fight hard to solve one after another. a puzzle.

Fortunately, he also knows some people's character.

As time went by, the higher the official position, the heavier the pressure, and he deeply felt the burden of carrying a huge empire.

As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the doorway. If you are not in charge of a family, you don't know how expensive it is.When reading history and watching movies in later generations, they are often influenced by the mainstream, unable to see the real side, and can only be influenced by others. It is not clear why the merits of upright officials are not obvious, and those who are notorious often make achievements.

As far as he is concerned, he deeply understands the heavy burden of the prime minister, all aspects must be weighed, and all interest groups must be taken care of.

Therefore, he felt more and more that what he did was extremely correct back then. If he really went against the current, saved the Zhao family, and safeguarded the interests of those in power, he would face a more stubborn and honest interest class today.

In the public hall of the Dutang, on the desk is a memorial to the reform of the official system. In the face of a major turning point in the relationship between the North and the South, he did not let go of his internal affairs. The expedition to the South China Sea was for internal affairs, and messing up the Jurchen regime was also for the sake of internal affairs. Everything must not be messed up. Primary and secondary.

Just after straightening out the clues, Zhang Quan tiptoed in, and Zhu Lian wanted to meet him in the East Pavilion of the Hall of Preservation and Harmony.

Zhu Lian sketched light makeup and wore a plain white satin dress with an extraordinary elegance. He looked at Wang Xiu calmly and said, "What's wrong with the official system?"

"After sorting it out again, we can try it out. The official positions in the imperial court are too messy. Wouldn't it be better to simplify?" Wang Xiu admired the official positions in the Ming Dynasty. The honor of the ministry is also equivalent to the officer of the ministry.However, some things cannot be forced. An era has characteristics of an era, and its pace cannot be too fast.

What's more, he has a deeper understanding of the improvement of the official system.

"I don't want to ask too many questions. Elder Twelfth Sister is not young anymore. It's time to find him a husband." Zhu Lian didn't want to talk about heavy topics.

"Roujia, are you seventeen?" A little beauty flashed in front of Wang Xiu's eyes, with a bit of his charm.

"It's Biyu Nianhua, and a father like you, you have to think about how old your daughter is, really." Zhu Lian's motherly brilliance overflowed, but he gouged out Wang Xiu's eyes fiercely.

"Oh, I'm not... Hehe, hey, how fast time flies, we are getting old!" Wang Xiu sighed deeply, feeling that time is fleeting and time is ruthless.He looked at Zhu Lian lovingly, the beauty's coquettishness and all kinds of amorous feelings made him kill him thousands of times and turned into a wave of tenderness.
