Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 817
Wang Xiu's eyes suddenly became cold and stern, almost forming a substantial killing intent, and said resolutely: "Since they come out, then prepare to bear my wrath."

"The officials are also young and energetic, and they are provoked by others. Don't tell me you don't even let your son go?" Zhu Lian was a little anxious. She was afraid that Wang Xiu would attack her son. After all, the queen was about to give birth to a son, and the royal family's struggle was very delicate. She didn't dare to bet on Wang Xiu's family affection.

"Who said that I'm going to hurt my son?" Wang Xiu glanced at Zhu Lian and said, she couldn't help being a little angry, Zhu Lian was obviously better than him to his son.

"You..." Zhu Lian breathed a sigh of relief, and she was almost taken aback by her surprise, at least she heard Wang Xiu's truth.

"My lady, what's the matter?" Wang Xiu smiled. It's good to make a joke, at least it can make Zhu Lian's ups and downs.

Zhu Lian rolled his eyes, glared at Wang Xiu fiercely, and said through gritted teeth, "Official, if you want to deal with Zhang Xueshi, deal with him, don't bring the officials into it."

"This kid didn't leave Zhang Zichu much, he didn't make a big fuss, he honestly became his son of heaven. Besides, even if the Ninth King has other ideas, as long as I'm around, he'll just be a Taiping vassal. Now that mother and son are reunited, Naturally, there is no need to worry. As for Zhang Qiyuan, let's see and talk!" Wang Xiu said very seriously.

"Oh, what are you going to do?" Zhu Lian wanted to know Wang Xiu's thoughts. Women are very interesting. As long as the son is fine, his mind will be on the man.

Wang Xiu pondered for a while, thinking it was better to tell Zhu Lian not to spoil his plan due to improper cooperation between the internal and external courts, and said in a low voice, "What do you think is the biggest humiliation for scholars?"

"Of course it's ruined, what's the matter? Zhang Xueshi has long been ruined, and the rest is nothing more than dismissal or guarding the palace." Zhu Lian looked at Wang Xiu in surprise, and vaguely felt that Wang Xiu had a more ruthless plan. .

"It's too light, it's too light, it's too light to be dismissed from office and guard the palace, what will happen if you say he is a traitor?" Wang Xiu's tone was very cold, so cold that it made one's hair stand on end.

"Oh, that's too much. He didn't betray his family and country and persecute people to his subordinates. Besides, it's hard to say whether he can fulfill his wish." Zhu Lian was shocked by Wang Xiu. It was obviously an internal power struggle, and it was very To punish people to death.

"Zhang Zichu is not of the easy-going type, keeping him is a great disaster!" In all fairness, Wang Xiuzhen regards Zhang Qiyuan as a strong enemy, especially in an environment where no scholars are killed, he cannot give Zhang Qiyuan a chance to make a comeback.

If he originally regarded Zhang Qiyuan as an opponent, it was because of the compromise between Sun Fu and Tang Ge, Li Gang and others under the balance of the power of the government and the opposition.

However, Zhang Qiyuan broke through his bottom line. It should be said that the arrow at Donghuamen saw him break the taboo of the civil servants and bureaucrats. From then on, he sentenced Zhang Qiyuan to death, the most cruel deprivation of a literati.

"Officials value him, so they are not afraid that he will become a strong enemy when he arrives at Jurchen. Could it be that he was intercepted halfway?" Zhu Lian also came all the way, and naturally understands the cruelty of the struggle, but she also knows the reasons for the outstanding scholars in the past. These wise people are loyal to the barbarians, Zhang Qiyuan has failed, but the talent of the other party cannot be ignored.

"The Jurchens are still powerful, wouldn't it be better to let him be a shit-stirring stick." Wang Xiu smiled wickedly.

"Bah bah, let's see what you said." Now that Zhu Lian knew about it, she relaxed. She was just a minister, and she didn't take it seriously.

Of course Wang Xiu also laughed, it was rare for them to joke outside the palace during the day.

"Since he has become a disaster, then take advantage of the fact that he is going to join the Jurchens, take him down halfway, and then justifiably kill him." Zhu Lian's tone was chilling.

Wang Xiu nodded silently, with a serious expression on her face. A woman's heart is often crueler than a man's. She was still joking just now, but in the blink of an eye she killed her, showing her decisive and ruthless side.

However, Zhu Lian nodded for his sake, and said slowly: "That's right, I also have plans, it just depends on Zhang Zichu's fate. , then go with the wind!"

"Just now your lecture is novel, dual monarchy, do you really want to implement it?" Seeing Wang Xiu's serious face, Zhu Lian seemed to feel that what she said was a bit serious. Now that Wang Xiu had plans, she hurriedly changed the conversation to another matter. superior.

"I'm Xianyun Yehe, just to explain to the students and explore knowledge, so I can't take it seriously." Wang Xiu said with a smile.

"No, you are definitely not talking about learning, but you really have this plan. The real bureaucracy has already begun. I don't know how you can start?" Zhu Lian put away her smiling face. She must figure out Wang Xiu's plan and must not threaten her son.

"It's very simple. The North-South alliance is good to be reached again. I think this time it is based on the balance of power between the two sides, which gives us enough time. I plan to use this time to solve three major issues, and at least start a good start."

"Tell me about it."

"The South China Sea issue needs to be resolved. I am going to take a two-pronged approach. I will gradually establish a solid support point on the coastal islands of Cochin and Champa. The army will escort the immigrants to the south. Instead of taking the treacherous sea route, go south along the coastline."

"It's a good idea, but can Jiaozhi and Zhancheng respect it?" Zhu Lian was a little worried. The Lingnan was difficult, and all the conquests in the past dynasties ended in a draw.

"It's up to them. As long as they don't go deep into the inland, they are no match for the guards and navy. If Shaole can't solve the problem, then use your fists." Wang Xiu is very confident. The forests and forests in the south are indeed a nightmare for invaders, but on the coast The islands on the island can be completely occupied with a powerful naval fleet.

Besides, whether it is Champa or Cochin, they have no maritime strategic awareness, and they don’t care much about the islands in the outer sea. There is a reason for the Song navy to build the city wall. conflict of scale.

Then, the imperial court immigrated to establish government offices. Within a few decades, these islands would be the land of the Song Dynasty, and anyone who dared to use them as an issue would be an invasion.

There will be a string of pearls from Guangnan East and West Roads to Sanfoqi. Sea ships going south will reduce a lot of dangers, and can exercise strategic control over Jiaozhi and Champa. The entire South China Sea will completely become the inner lake of the Song Dynasty.

Of course, this is not all of his considerations. It is just a road going south, how can he be singled out as one?He had long planned to vote for Cochin, and even Champa was included. This disgusting country is as dirty as a villain. Now that he has the strength, he will never allow monkeys to occupy his bed.
