Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 733
Li Gang, Lu Yihao were even stunned when they were silent, Wang Xiu meant something!Let's use the war to talk about the minister's money in the official system, where everyone's interests lie, and no one wants to lose a big piece of cake.

Mo Mo didn't think about it, Lu Yihao didn't think about it, and Li Gang didn't think about it too much. Change is one thing, everyone has thought about it, but when it comes to the specific reality, they are still a little hesitant.

But everyone didn't think about it, if they could hold back the envoy's money issued to individuals and keep it in the yamen for spending, how much money would the court save every year?

Although it is still extravagant, after all, it does not go into personal pockets. As long as financial supervision is strengthened, there will be a large surplus. At least a few years of implementation can reasonably determine the government's expenditure.

"No matter how difficult it is, no one can change the counterattack on Hedong." Li Gang gritted his teeth and made his own decision. After all, it was an opportunity, and it was the strategy proposed by Zhang Qiyuan. Since it was very feasible, he was unwilling to give up.

Lu Yihao also nodded slightly, and slowly stroked the beautiful beard that was beating his chest. He and Li Gang had different political views and did not enter the two governments, but they were consistent in counterattacking Hedong.

Their eyes fell on Zhang Qiyuan. To cultivate this young hero, even if it took a certain risk, it was worth it, at least not to let Wang Xiu's family dominate.Seeing that Wang Xiu was already in the position of deputy prime minister, it was obvious to climb to the top. Zhao Ding and Zhang Jun didn't seem to be enough to check and balance, adding Zhang Qiyuan would make it much easier.

In so many years of observation, Zhang Qiyuan's wisdom is also obvious. Although his experience cannot be compared with Wang Xiu's, there is no chance to show it.

"If it can be finished within four months, it should be..." Shen Mo hesitated to calculate, he actually controls the finances of Song Dynasty, so he has to be more cautious.

Before he could finish speaking, Zong Liang hurried over with a letter from Guantang in his hand, and came in front of everyone.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Seeing Zong Liang panting, Wang Xiu frowned slightly.

"The speedy envoys from the north are in urgent need of the official pond." Zong Liang handed the official pond to Wang Xiu, and wiped off his sweat by the way. The trotting all the way was tiring!

Wang Xiu nodded. It is true that the Speed ​​Division belongs to the Privy Council. Guantang in the north should enter the Privy Council first, but there are exceptions.

The identities of the highest-ranking envoys in the imperial court were kept extremely secret, and the officials of the Song Dynasty were rotated every three years. It was impossible to change the jurisdiction every time the official position was changed!That would easily expose the identity of the high-ranking envoy and cause possible losses.

Therefore, the two governments decided that no matter how they were promoted, the senior envoys in charge of the prime ministers of the two governments would not change. We will be responsible for the change of the public discussion, and no one will make irresponsible remarks.

Zong Liang sent him the secret Guantang, but it was not Li Gang, which was completely in line with the system.

He opened the Guantang and looked, his eyes suddenly became a little dull, his mouth opened, and he seemed a little unbelievable.

No one asked rashly. The envoys in Wang Xiu's hands were all top-level secrets. Only after he sorted out the Guantang, qualified ministers could see it, and others could not touch it.

Then, the original documents of Guantang were sealed and stored in the Privy Council, and they were classified according to the level of confidentiality, so that outsiders could not access them at all.

But seeing him hesitate for a while, he said slowly: "The envoy of the Northern Speed ​​Bureau secretly reported that the Taishang was relocated by captives, and it is very likely that he will settle in Yanshan Mansion."

As soon as this remark came out, the faces of everyone present changed drastically.

Lu Yihao's face was pleasantly surprised, and he almost trembled: "Is it true?"

"Guantang was sent by the governor of the northern envoy. If he is not fully sure, he will never speak nonsense." Wang Xiu was a little unhappy. Qin Min's calmness and wisdom would never be indiscriminate. His only worry was how to deal with it. It was too deceitful. .

"If that's the case, no matter what the price is, we must invite the emperor back." Li Gang said without hesitation. He was unusually persistent in bringing back the second emperor from the Northern Expedition.

Zhang Qiyuan thought a lot, how will Zhao Huan deal with himself when he comes back?Are you too willing to do it?Obviously impossible, and he wasn't too enthusiastic.

However, seeing the displeasure on Wang Xiu's eyebrows, he strengthened his support and said decisively: "We must contact the envoys immediately, and the imperial court will send capable officials to participate, so we must ensure that the Supreme Being is welcomed back."

Li Gang cast approving glances at Zhang Qiyuan, sure enough, he was right, and said excitedly: "The high-level envoys of the Machine Speed ​​Division are under the control of Wenshi, can you be sure?"

"I'm afraid the rescue is too high. I'm not sure, or even a little sure." Wang Xiu shook her head and said.

"How could Wenshi be unsure, didn't he accept Talan back last time! I don't think he was unsure about welcoming the Supreme Being back." Lu Yihao's beard trembled for a while.

Wang Xiu couldn't help but smiled wryly, accepting Tarlan and Zhao Huan were completely different things, last time it was life or death, if he could come back he would make money, it didn't matter if he couldn't be rescued, Zhao Huan was different.

After all, the Jurchens were alert, and Zhao Huan was a weak person, and the difficulty was much higher than that of Tarlan. He said that it was not possible, and he was not talking nonsense.

"This matter is of great importance and needs to be handled with caution. All the important ministers here should work together to welcome back the Supreme." He didn't have any hesitation, and he couldn't object to welcome Zhao Huan back!That's not being scolded to death.

As for the rescue, that is also the specific responsibility of the northern speed envoys. Whether it succeeds or not depends on their wishes!
"You can go out of Yanshan Mountain and go directly south to Jiehe." Mo Mo suggested that this is the most primitive way, at least it is feasible.

"No, the captives are fine on the surface, but they are actually dispatching troops. The south road must not be taken." Zhang Qiyuan directly denied the land road.

It's a joke, it is feasible, but Yanshan and Yunzhong are heavily assembled, and the envoys may pass through, but bringing Zhao Huan is the biggest burden.

"That's right, for safety's sake, the south road must never be taken, only the waterway." Lu Yihao supported Zhang Qiyuan's opinion. The last time Talan escaped was also by waterway. As long as he reaches the seaside, it will be the world of the Song Dynasty navy. .

A look of displeasure flashed in Cai Yi's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Salmon Island's naval base is capable of dispatching sea ships. I'm afraid that if a war breaks out, it will be too difficult to withstand the turbulence at sea."

"Could it be that a big ship at sea can still have cars and horses?" Li Gang glared at Cai Yi dissatisfied.

Cai Yi was also very dissatisfied with Li Gang's meanness, and said sharply: "The captives have added coastal defenses, so would you like to see Taishang captured by the sea?"

"We have to give it a try. If the sea route is safe by land, it is really impossible to dispatch a few large ships to lay down a place to meet the emperor." Li Gang was very determined.

Wang Xiu did not think that Li Gang was at fault for sacrificing a large number of guards and sailors in order to meet a useless person, but he would never be so stupid.

"What's Wenshi's good strategy?" Mo Mo asked when Wang Xiu was silent.
