Shao Song

"Shao Song ( to find the latest chapter!

The weather is clearing up.

The Phoenix Mountain seemed extremely busy. The Imperial Front and the Imperial Reserve were clearing the collapsed palace. The messengers of countless local officials and members of the public court hurried to greet the Holy Spirit, but they stopped at the level of Lu Yihao and Liu Hongdao. Nearby ministers such as Lu Benzhong and Ren Baozhong are also sorting out documents, and even the monks of Shengguo Temple are also taking the opportunity to drain the canals and clean up the waterlogging in the mountains.

Not only that, at this moment, the entire southeast should be very busy, because you can see from Phoenix Mountain that people everywhere are draining and dredging silt in the fields, villages and cities here to minimize losses.

At the moment, Zhao Jiu himself was awakened-this time when he encountered such a continuous rainy weather at this location, it was probably only caused by a typhoon on the sea thousands of miles away.

I just don't know if I flapped the wings of my own butterfly.

Of course, he also didn’t know that in history this year, the summer in the southeast region was indeed rainy, which caused the silk and the autumn harvest to reduce production, and then it did not reach the level of disaster. This matter was through Zhang Jun and other relevant ministers in power. The memorabilia is clearly known to future generations.

And then again, suppose Zhao Jiu is a high-end historical talent, and he knows that this is the case, then maybe he has to ask why this butterfly wing didn't stop the typhoon?

Don’t gossip. Turning back to the moment, Zhao Guan’s family, who had experienced a small wind and rain, showed his face by going out and turning around. The so-called peace of mind, after watching the scenery after the rain, returned to Shengguo Temple at noon. Then began to try to change the poem.

That's right, just change the poem.

Last night, there was a storm in a hurry, the house collapsed again, and then it thumped and then plopped, like a frog jumping into a pond after the rain. It may be because of the insomnia that caused the official to hesitate early in the morning. In a trance, he made a big joke...he actually made a bad poem that was flat and wrong, and even repeated the rhyme.

This is not a problem of a big loss of standard. The repeated use of words at the end of the sentence is simply a mistake that a ten-year-old child can't make. If you don't believe me, let the prodigy of the Lu family come and try it?

And since the words are used repeatedly, it is not considered a poem at all, but the official Zhao's family is not a monk, so he can post a saying about Zen to himself. What makes Lu Benzhong even more speechless is that the embryo of the poem is clearly still there, and the momentum and style are still in line with the official posture, even if other people want to take it on themselves...so up and down basically. It was concluded that the Zhao official’s mistake had come to an end.

Therefore, this official has been working hard all morning to change his poems in order not to be too embarrassed.

However, Zhao Jiu looked at the poem on the case and thought about it, but he didn't know how to start it...Isn’t it impossible to change it, one word, for example, the following Yaoshan changed to Huijinchuan, Guodachuan, etc., When directly referring to the Golden River Alliance and destroying Xixia, it was about to survive.

But the problem is that Xixia was obviously not on par with Yaoshan. The so-called eight years of Zhao Guanjia’s merits, the most important and the greatest achievement, is the case of Yaoshan. Yaoshan is the root, Xixia and the Golden River Alliance. To some extent, it was Yaoshan's deep-seated battle results.

Therefore, since it is a self-ordered meritorious deeds and feelings about the sages, it is inseparable from Yaoshan.

But having said that, if you want to force the word Yaoshan to be left behind, the famous line that the Central Plains looks like a mountain from the north will not give up, because that's where the momentum of the whole poem lies.

Ever since, the official thought about it and couldn’t get it right. In the end, he just left the poem aside...Anyway, he didn’t believe that Lu You could still go to Dasanguan to defend Bashu in this life. He would go to guard Yinshan at most... In this situation, no one owes anyone, right?

Besides, as far as the effect is concerned, Lu Yihao did not delay his determination to go to Hebei to "fill the gully" after listening to this poem? Not to mention that you made a typo in the official family.

The effect is still played.

However, although Zhao Guan's family broke the pot, they suffered from Lu Benzhong again.

As a real poet, Lu Benzhong came up to see that the embryo of the poem was excellent enough, so he naturally wanted to put the poem in the Phoenix Xunkan, which was a political announcement for the official Zhao.

However, on the one hand, the official Zhao's family was unwilling to change it; on the other hand, Lu Benzhong was not good at changing it without permission, but he was reluctant to bear the poem.

But no matter what, Zhao Jiu, who gave up changing his poem, doesn’t care about Lu Benzhong’s thoughts. Since he abandoned this matter, he did not return directly north, but still stopped in the southeast... But everyone can see it. Compared with the bitter enemies who had been here for more than half a year, this official was really relieved.

Not to mention anything else, just to say that in the next few days, this official will be lightly dressed and simple, leading his team to patrol the surrounding counties and counties. His footprints are all over Hangzhou, Huzhou, Yuezhou, and Muzhou, but he often does not enter the city, ask officials, or reveal his identity. He just walks between the countryside and ends in front of the market pier.

In fact, if it weren’t for the travel of Zhao Guan’s family from Hangzhou, the surrounding prefectures and counties might not have known that Zhao Guan’s family had gone under their own rule from beginning to end.

After all, this is not a play of a private visit on a WeChat account and a roar of injustice. Unless it is a typical vicious criminal case, if an emperor leapfrogs some grass-roots affairs, it will often cause chaos far beyond the matter itself, and purely super vicious incidents. How could it be so coincidental to appear next to him?

Therefore, this official is more of a question about customs. He is inspecting the impact of this summer rain and flooding, and has no intention of interfering with the place.

Of course, this is no alternative. At the moment when Zhao Guan’s family visited the south for nearly a year, with the new taxation law being fully implemented, the most important thing for the entire southeast is to measure the impact of this rain and when in Fujian. Two big problems are settled down.

However, this has caused another problem. Some people have been secretly complaining about the official affairs. The affairs of Fujian and the rains in Zhejiang and Zhejiang are not manpower to do. Then he is dignified and stays here. What's more, is it true that you are really fond of the prosperity of the southeast and are reluctant to think about it?

However, Wuyue’s old palace collapsed, and staying in the monk’s temple all day might not be comfortable, right? Or do you really believe in Buddha?

However, if I really wanted to say something, it seemed that something was going on. Not long after Liu Hongdao returned to Tokyo, when the Zhao official’s family visited privately, the new public cabinet meeting also began, and the official’s official order was passed. Called the first-level public pavilion members of Lianghuai, Jiangdong, Jiangxi, Liangzhe, Fujian and other roads to meet Fenghuangshan... The public pavilions in Lianghuai, Jiangxi, Fujian and other places are newly formed, and there is no face saint, of course. Reasonable.

In addition, the Zhao Guan’s family didn’t know when they were leaving, and organizing a few more successful conferences appropriately would be considered a circle on the edge of the West Lake, and successfully ended their southern tour, didn’t they?

Therefore, by the end of summer, the southeast and the shores of the West Lake will once again bear shoulders, especially the members of the Lianghuai Gongge who flocked here directly from Yangzhou. Opposite mentality and strong desire to participate in politics, so their arrival almost instantly brought Hangzhou City back to the situation of the previous martial arts conference.

Even better.

Outside Yongjinmen, it is really ‘right to use Hangzhou as Bianzhou’ again, and Louwailou has become even more unaffordable for the locals.

However, almost as if there was an early arrangement, the meeting date was set at the Southeast Gongge and the relevant procedures were started under the Leifeng Pagoda. On this morning, Xu Jingheng, the former deputy minister of Fujian Province, Xu Xianggong, who was the former capital of Fujian Province, also set a date for the meeting. Officially returned from Fujian.

After all, Xu Xianggong had been a minister. Since he came back, he would certainly not compete with the members of the court for the number of saints, but Yang Yizhong, who went to meet him, led him to the Daxiong Hall of Shengguo Temple. I greeted and reported.

The conclusion does not seem to be optimistic.

"In this way, Fujian's autumn harvest this year is still affected?" Zhao Guanjia, who is no stranger to the Daxiong Hall, asked casually directly under the Buddha statue.

It is worth mentioning that although the place is generous, the official is just Lu Yihao and a few close ministers beside him at this time... Fan Zongyin and Mei Li have not returned in Fujian, and Xu Jingheng’s return is more like the Zhao official’s. Special recall.

"So that the officials know that it is not the autumn harvest, but the autumn tax." Xu Jingheng immediately corrected it in the hall. "Weapon fighting mostly occurs between clan villages, but when these people are fighting, there are generally very few acts of destroying production and obstructing farming... The minister said that the impact on autumn taxes means that large-scale fighting has gradually subsided, but The local villages held armed confrontations, but the small stocks of vendettas would continue for a long time. In addition, this fight was originally for the distribution of taxes, and the minister had already made his own claim to wipe out all the taxes involved in the dispute in Fujian to appease the locality... …So, in this case, Fujian’s autumn tax will inevitably be affected, but it will not have much impact on the actual autumn harvest."

Hearing this, Zhao Jiu let out a long sigh of relief, and then there was a long silence.

Seeing this situation, Xu Jingheng standing in the temple couldn't help sighing.

In other words, as a re-employed chief executive, on the one hand, his height allows him to understand the core of the problem even when he is on a business trip. Although he only heard some rumors on the way back, he still woke up a long time ago and the matter was basically in the Northern Expedition. ; On the other hand, the sense of responsibility and political alienation caused by his identity, political stance, and native place made him have some complicated emotions in the face of this big event.

No objection, no participation, but no evasion...a little bit of being pushed away.

However, as the saying goes, Zhao Guanjia waited for a while, then looked at Lu Yihao under the Buddha statue, and then asked again: "In this way, Fujian is actually better than Liangzhe. There are impacts, but most of them are limited to the grassroots level, and in any case, it will not reach the point of disaster... Is it right?"

"Shuchen speaks bluntly." Xu Jingheng sternly confessed. "The officials have missed what they said... Many people died in Fujian, and this incident has a far-reaching impact. It is very likely that it will form a feud in Fujian's township. In any case, it cannot be said to be better than Liangzhe, which suffered rain and reduced production! The matter of the New Taxation Policy still seems to be too ambitious outside Liangzhe Road."

"Xu Xianggong is right." Zhao Jiu paused, and faced each other. "I only thought about the impact of the two places on the Northern Expedition in the short term, but I didn't think about the long-term or within the two places... this is not what a man should be thinking about."

The Zhao official family admitted wrong, and directly pointed out the Northern Expedition, what else can Xu Xianggong say?

After a while, the man really reluctantly handed over his hands: "Has the official decision been made?"

"This is not something that I can't make up my mind, but that if there is no reason to stop, I can only bite the bullet and do it head-on. Now the situation is that although there are twists and turns in the two Zhejiang and Fujian, even the Central Plains have some troubles. It was rainy, but it did not cause a catastrophe. Since there is nothing to stop, we monarchs and ministers cannot deceive ourselves and escape." Zhao Jiu simply faced each other. "Xu Xianggong, 300,000 imperial troops can be recruited after Ma Qiu. Although there are many recruits, there are also party members who can recruit. Taihang Volunteers can mobilize, so that there are Mongolia and Khitan friendly troops that can be called. The army’s combat power is still sufficient; as for food, military resources, and ordnance, although they are less abundant than last year’s estimate, they are actually sufficient according to the measurement three years ago...In this situation, If we don’t move, we’re breaking the trust of the people in the world, don’t you think it’s not?”

Xu Jingheng was forced to a corner, thinking again and again, but he could only give his hand again: "That's true."

"I'm about to say this." Zhao Jiu looked at Lu Yihao again when he heard this, and then the two looked at Lu Benzhong, who was already a little nervous.

Lu Benzhong swallowed, but he immediately took a step forward, holding out a piece of white linen paper hidden in his sleeve, and opened his hands in front of Xu Jingheng in public.

Xu Jingheng only glanced at the white linen paper, felt a hum in his head, and then bowed directly to the ground out of instinct.

Besides, the Song Dynasty gave preferential treatment to scholar-bureaucrats, unless it was for some sacrificial or ceremonial occasions, many times the civil servants did not have to kneel to the emperor, let alone the will?

But the interesting part is here. As a ruler whose political status far exceeds that of ordinary scholar-officials, generally speaking, it is inevitable to have the experience of kneeling on his will, because a scholar has truly reached the pinnacle of his life, that is, Xuan Ma. When worshiping the image, according to the precedent, it is necessary to formally worship.

That's right, this piece of white hemp paper has only one meaning to people of Xu Jingheng's level, that is, he wants to declare hemp for the second time, and return to the ranks of the ruler again and formally.

Of course, in fact, even Xu Jingheng once declared hemp...because he walked among the still and wandering when he was a slaughter for the first time, he was basically a small court, where did he come from the serious white hemp paper?

However, Zhao Guan’s family always prescribes the right medicine for the case, and it depends on people ordering food... It’s like asking Wu Jie to be a jersey agent that day, specially using bright yellow silk to fool the big bosses of the Western army. This time, in order to make Xu Xianggong feel. To respect, Zhao Jiu also found white linen paper.

It can only be said that the effect is outstanding. As a traditional old-style scholar-official who previewed in his mind when he was young, he did not know how many times he would react when he saw the white hemp paper. When he really faced the white hemp paper, what was Xu Xianggong? I just bowed down.

And this worship, some things are a foregone conclusion.

The decree was written in Lu Benzhong, and naturally it would not make the low-level mistakes of Zhao official’s limericks. It was called four-six symmetry, and the literary talent was flourishing. However, after reading it, there was only one meaning-Xu Jingheng was the vice minister of the capital and Jianing. The naval ambassador to section, led the Liangzhe Road, and was stationed in Hangzhou with the Sijiangdong, Jiangxi, Fujian, Liangzhe, Guangxi, and Guangdong six roads.

Basically, he replaced Lu Yihao as the envoy to the southeast, and also increased the scope of Guangdong and Guangxi.

After the order was issued, the official again issued an oral order, but this white hemp was pasted under the Leifeng Pagoda, and the southeast Shulu Gongge was ordered to watch it together... This is the declaration of the hemp ceremony... …Employ the boss, regardless of whether the people below have room for objection, always make a public announcement and behave.

Under the dilapidated Leifeng Pagoda, six public pavilions gathered together. At this moment, they are still making some messy speeches and discussions, and waiting for the visit of the Zhao official's in the afternoon. Unexpectedly, the Zhao official's house did not wait to come. First, he waited for a piece of legendary white hemp paper. .

And this white linen paper immediately detonated the entire West Lake.

The vast majority of the Gongge members in Liangzhe, Jiangdong, Fujian, and even Jiangxi are cautiously welcoming this...because Xu Jingheng's popularity in the southeast is very high.

Of course, there are some reasons that are difficult to explain, and everyone is tacitly aware.

However, they had already left the category of Southeast Envoys after Yaoshan. At this time, the members of the Lianghuai Road Gongge who had nothing to do with them were going to be annoying. Some of them actually said that this appointment was actually illegal... Xu Jingheng has insufficient qualifications and lack of popularity to avoid showing up. Instead, Xu Xianggong himself, as a native of Yuezhou, should avoid his hometown.

In fact, the first two envoys, Yuwen Xuzhong, who comforted Guanxi and Lu Yihao, who calmed southeast of Zhenfu, were both from Jingdong.

Of course, I ordered a hornet's nest. For a while, the public pavilions on Liangzhe Road and Lianghuai Road pitted against each other in an instant, almost causing a gang fight under the Leifeng Pagoda.

However, no matter where they are, the true political experts in the cabinet have remained solemn and silent. These people, regardless of their origin, gathered to the edge of the venue in twos and threes and discussed the situation in a low voice. Obviously, they all started from this white paper. There was a trace of solemnity and anxiety on the linen paper.

These people do not believe that no one reminded the emperor Xu Jingheng's native place, nor did he believe that Lu Yihao was so gone... You must know that Lu Xianggong is harsh to the Southeast, but to the center and the emperor, he is undoubtedly a competent minister and relies on the Southeast.

What's more, Xu Jingheng's title of Jidu Envoy was enough to provoke people's imagination.

Or to take it a step further, the truly smart people have awakened to what is going on, but their purpose is not clear, so they dare not discuss it in depth.

It can only be said that, as expected, after a while, Shao Chengzhang, who had just returned to the provincial guardian, returned to the Leifeng Pagoda again with a full guard of honor, and pasted another piece of white linen paper.

On the white linen paper, there are also four-six pairs, and the literary talent is flying, but the original intention is just to read it and make everyone present burst out, and then even the stupidest person understands what is going on.

Without him, Lv Yihao got his new dispatch-deputy envoy of the Privy Council, joined the German Jiedu Envoy, and supervised the state affairs of Hebei East Road, Hebei West Road, Hedong Road, and Yanshan Road.

This is the so-called governor of Hebei.

This is the Northern Expedition!

This group of Southeasterners didn't expect that the signal of the Northern Expedition was actually launched from Hangzhou West Lake...Is that fair? Really make Hangzhou Bianzhou?

However, after the crash, under the Leifeng Pagoda, on the open field surrounded by Guo Zhongxun’s Qianzhou troops, countless members of the public pavilion quickly became serious again. No one thought about the struggle with the magistrate. No one dared to discuss the matter arbitrarily...the matter is coming. As the most representative ruling class in the Southeast, most of this group of people just feel frightened, uneasy, hot, and cringe.

Zhao Jiu is not alone in fearing the coming war that will fight everything.

It was because there were a handful of passionate people who didn't dare to shout excitedly at this time, because after all, the two words of the Northern Expedition were not put out publicly, and it was not just that Lu Yihao was responsible for the preparations for the Northern Expedition?

Of course, this possibility does not exist for people with a little bit of political common sense, because the Jiedu ambassador to the German army was the Jiedu ambassador used by Song Taizu in the past, just like the Taining military festival used by Taizong. Du Shi also has a special meaning... In the Song Dynasty, the Jiedu Shi of the German army did not give any more people, while the Taining Military Jiedu was recognized as the first Jiedu Shi. It was granted to several people before and after, all of them were granted. The most important figure in the DPRK, after the Yaoshan War, Han Shizhong was the king of Yan'an County, leading the three towns Jiedu Shi, the first title was Taining Army Jiedu Shi.

At this time, Lu Yihao, as the minister of the Western Mansion, added this impossibility to be taken away by warriors, and has been vacant for more than a hundred years. There can only be one meaning, that is, to borrow his qualifications, character, and The enthusiasm for the Northern Expedition served as the commander of the Northern Expedition.

When necessary, officials need to kill people, even if they want to kill anyone in the ten knots, they don't have to do it themselves! Because here is a ruthless character who dares to kill people to act for Zhao Guan's family.

Just as the Leifeng Pagoda was under the tens of thousands of horses, following the third return of Abban Shao Chengzhang, another decree arrived, and this time it was for the hundreds of Southeast Gongge members present.

The purpose is simple. The members of the Gongge of Lianghuai, Liangzhe, Liangjiang, and Fujian must be selected today and based on the talents of the members, and 200 people with excellent talents and virtues will be selected from the Gongge category... among them Ten people are upper-class, 20 are upper-medium, and 70 are upper-class. At that time, Zhao Guanjia will award these people according to their ranks in Hebei, Hedong, and Yanshan local governors, military affairs, communal sentences, county magistrates, and criminal prosecutions. , Mention tea, salt and so on.

Before being elected, no one is allowed to leave the venue without authorization.

Shao Chengzhang returned three times, leaving only hundreds of Southeastern elites in a panic under the Leifeng Pagoda under the crowd of more than a thousand Qianzhou native soldiers.

The mood of these people is really complicated at this moment... On the one hand, the Zhao official family has fulfilled its promise to the public cabinet, and a large number of people will be directly transferred to the actual dispatch, and it will be the kind of generous dispatch; on the other hand, this so-called The actual dispatch is also an obvious short-term dispatch at the same time!

If the Northern Expedition is completed, then let’s not talk about Yanshan Road, only the three prefectures, eleven prefectures, five army, and fifty-seven counties on Hebei East Road; four prefectures, Kyushu, Sixth Army, and sixty-five counties on Hebei West Road; Hedong Road Three prefectures, fourteen prefectures, eight army, and eighty-one counties, these one hundred dispatches are absolutely appropriate, and they won't even delay other places to learn.

But if it doesn't happen, this assignment is just a shit!

Of course, this is also the Zhao official family's Yangmou, they are to support the Northern Expedition! Even looking at the current posture, after saying that they cannot be elected, these 100 people will directly join the army, not only to make the rear stable, but also to allow these people to work in the front and send out to manage the place at any time. The hostages are average. If the Northern Expedition is a bit difficult, you can say you can’t ask the families of these people to directly serve the family property behind, right?

At this point in the thought, everyone's thoughts are fast forward to the point that once they are selected, whether to go to the battlefield, will it be dangerous?

But by the way, if the Northern Expedition is complete, then knowing the state, knowing the army, passing the sentence, the magistrate, and raising the criminal officer, mentioning tea and salt, is it a future that you could not think of in your life?

In the panic, the election is impossible, and it is impossible to escape under the crowd of the army, so I can only talk nonsense and express my chaotic feelings.

In the chaos, but half an hour, in the afternoon, at this time, the only Yutang bachelor who drove with him was the person who actually surpassed Meihuahan and became the first elder of the Dongrae Lu family, Lu Ben Zhonglu. The bachelor is here.

He is here to guide the election.

And with the arrival of Xueshi Lu, things suddenly changed... Without him, you should know that with the eight years of Zhao official family's struggle, there are always some enthusiastic people who have been brainwashed in the southeast Liulu Gongge. There are some people who come from official households and have a red eye on the political future.

Therefore, after Xueshi Lu took the initiative to guide him, dozens of people volunteered and quickly occupied a half of the 100 positions.

At this moment, among the remaining people, they were originally considered to be prestigious and powerful, so naturally they were not resentful; but they were originally not considered to be famous in the public cabinet, and they were all envied, but they were afraid that they would miss this opportunity.

Ever since, after a whole afternoon of tossing, Xueshi Lu returned to the mountain with the satisfaction of taking a list of 100 people.

After waiting for a while, it was about the time of Lei Feng's sunset that Shao Chengzhang, the provincial guardian, came back for the fourth time. As expected, the official had an oral order. According to the list, these 100 people can write to their families, but they don’t have to. Going home, I will go back to Tokyo tomorrow with Yujia... I don’t know how to ride a horse, so prepare yourself for mules!

As expected, but I have to say that the official has only revealed his rumored minions after visiting the south for nearly a year. It is no wonder that the simple Southeastern scholars have been fooled.

Not to mention the direct gathering of the public cabinet meeting inexplicably, and the inexplicable dissolution, and then how happy and worried the selected hundred people were, how to explain to their families, how to plan for the future... just to say that Lvmoto Nakaro has worked hard all day. The bachelor returned to Zhao Guan’s house to pay the job, and there was nothing to say in public. As a result, when he was packing his luggage in the bedroom of Shengguo Temple that night, he suddenly received Zhao Guan’s summons, and then received it in Zhao Guan’s'sleeping palace' like a thunderbolt in the sky. A will.

"Chen... don't have to go back with Yujiabei?" Xueshi Lu instinctively went to look behind Zhao Guan's house, as if he felt that there was a villain there.

However, there was no one behind the official, except for a statue of Buddha as tall as a person, standing there holding flowers and smiling. Looking back, there was a Yang Yizhong guarding the gate, but Yang Yizhong should have been. It's right here.

"No need to read it, no one said anything, it was my intention." Zhao Jiu seemed to see through the other person's thoughts and smiled directly. "I want you to stay here and do two things for me..."

Lu Benzhong thought for a while, tried to suppress a lot of distracting thoughts, and asked seriously: "Dare to ask the officials, but the important ministers are here to maintain the "Phoenix Xunkan", so as to maintain the morale of the southeast during the Northern Expedition?"

"Exactly." Zhao Jiu continued to smile. "But you must be aware that the Northern Expedition should not be neglected. After I leave, the "Phoenix Xundan" will not allow the slightest bit of wind and snow. Please be strict..."

"Yes."

Lu Benzhong hurriedly bowed his head...In other words, although Lu Xueshi felt that this assignment was a bit overkill, but after all, it was a direction he could think of, and it was where his business was in the past, so he felt a little relieved. "Then dare to ask the official, the second thing is that the minister should communicate with the official at any time and report the public opinion in the southeast?"

"Of course not." Zhao Jiu laughed again soon. "This kind of thing is supposed to be in the question, where do you need to specifically explain the distribution?"

Lu Benzhong quickly nodded, and then waited for instructions.

"The second thing is simple." Zhao Jiu continued to smile at his internal system in front of the Buddha's lotus stage. "I will leave you a team of soldiers in Phoenix Mountain... If I have a little dissonance in Hebei, you will personally lead the soldiers to the Dongxiao Palace not far from here, and deal with Yuansheng."

Lu Benzhong hurriedly nodded, but immediately stunned, then dumbfounded, and finally burst into cold sweat under Zhao Guan's smile.

The so-called, neither dare to respond, nor dare to refuse, like a knuckle in the throat, like walking on thin ice.

After a long while, his talents tried their best to summon the courage to face each other: "Officials, the ministers dare not say whether this argument is right or wrong... But if the officials want to do this, why should the Renbao Zhongrenshe people stay at Phoenix Mountain? It is Yang Tongzhi... Yang Tongzhi Any centurion under his command can do it, too? And the minister is a scholar... Besides... Besides, the official family has long been arranged for heirs, and the governor of Tokyo has one mind. The second sage is not worth mentioning, right?"

"Lu Qing." The Zhao official's family seemed to smile. "What you said is very true... The second sage is not worth mentioning. How can you be a scholar who does this thing? Where can you be a rude sergeant? But I ask you, if this is the case, why should I stay here? Are you ready for this?"

Lu Benzhong became more and more apprehensive when he heard the words. On the one hand, his intelligence and wisdom reminded him keenly that there is a huge, serious, life-and-death mystery hidden in the official words; Sort it out.

"Forget it, I'll just say it right." Zhao Jiu could only sneer when he saw this. "One...The Second Saint is certainly not worth mentioning, but there is still a risk in the end, especially the Emperor Taishangyuan. Many people say that he is just incompetent in Jingkang, but he is not unscrupulous... I take precautions, always Is it okay?"

"Yes...Yes!" Lu Benzhong spit out the word after spending a lot of energy.

"Secondly, compared with Saint Emperor Taishangyuan himself, I am more worried about the old minister Jingkang, that is, the so-called old party will come back after me...so that the second Northern Expedition became a fantasy." Zhao Jiu finally Sigh, but still smile. "And these people, if they are repeated, who do you think will be used as an arrow to make a comeback?"

"Taishang Yuansheng...No, Xu and Xu Xianggong...?" Lu Benzhong blurted out, but made corrections quickly.

"It's Xu Xianggong." Zhao Jiu nodded. "Actually, you and I only learned during this southern tour that these so-called southeastern generations, from the old party to Taoism, to the local scholar-officials, are totally messed up, without a leader and regulations, that is, I have established a government cabinet. Let these people get together and have a place to talk... In this case, if I don’t appoint Xu Xianggong this time, then these people might find Liu Dazhong and take Zhao Ding’s path. Maybe it’s the Taoism. At home, it also depends on the situation in the middle of the DPRK. It is easy to find someone to re-launch the banner of Taoism... But since I appointed Xu Xianggong and customized a three-level public pavilion for them, then if something happens, I lose the Northern Expedition. Then, they naturally want to use the government cabinet as the system, unite with Xu Xianggong to form a real opposition, and then they may shake the situation."

Lu Benzhong is still at a loss: "If this is the case, the official can withdraw Xu Xianggong, and he can be used without him, or the government can be abolished and their foundation is broken?"

"Lv Qing, you must know that I set up a public pavilion in the southeast, basically to appease the southeast and implement the New Deal, and the implementation of the New Deal is to reduce the burden on the people, so that they will not be crushed by the Northern Expedition; using Xu Xianggong, fundamentally It's also because of his central experience, political talents, and Southeastern people's expectations... These are all upright and open, and they are all for the Northern Expedition to have a chance of winning!" Zhao Jiu shook his head and smiled. "Don't you think that it was for some conspiracy that I started the cabinet, the appointed Lu Xianggong?"

Lu Benzhong was stunned on the spot.

"Lu Qing, how do I not know that what I want you to do is private? But the problem is that we used to be frank and upright for the Northern Expedition. And the Northern Expedition, although it is the general trend, is it still stable?" Zhao Jiu continued to shake his head. Smile right. "What I said at the beginning is that if the Northern Expedition fails, I won't be able to come back. Our dignity is about to collapse...At this time, someone has to come out and do these bad things for me."

"Officials." When Lu Benzhong heard this, he didn't know if he realized the three words'can't come back', or because he was pressed by the official, but tears came down. "The minister is really not excuse... the official's kindness to meet and meet us, as well as the praise to our Lu family, not to say it is a minister, it is our whole family should go through fire and water for the official... But this matter, this matter is really incredible, and Not to mention the incompetence of the minister, it is that Lu Xianggong is actually a loyal minister, and will definitely not support the Holy Emperor Taishangyuan because of some Jingkang's old grace."

"Yeah, he is a loyal minister, and so are you... so are your father Duke Lu!"

Zhao Jiu looked at the other party with emotion for a while, and finally put away the smile that had kept the other party shivering, but the next words directly sealed the other party. "But Lu Qing, haven't you figured it out yet? These people in the southeast do not have the ability to break away from the political system and start anew. If they use Liu Dazhong as their leader, they will eventually go to Prime Minister Zhao Ding, but if they use Xu Xianggong as their leader. , But it is indispensable to respect your father...Even if your father is also a loyal minister, he is unwilling to mix up, but the figures promoted by your father and Xu Xianggong when they were in power would still gather together and respect them both. I must let you deal with the matter of Emperor Taishangyuan Sheng. Think about it, since Taishangyuan Sheng is not important, who is important? Or, what is the important thing in this matter?"

Lu Benzhong was faltering and could hardly stand.

Because Zhao Guan’s family has made the logic and answers very clear... If the Northern Expedition fails and Zhao Guan’s cannot return, then the opposition will inevitably form a real reactionary political force along the court in the southeast, and once a political force is formed, it will be taken for granted. As Southeast giants like Liu Dazhong and Xu Jingheng colluded to form a party, the country returned to compromise and negotiate peace.

In this process, Liu Dazhong would still contact Zhao Ding, and behind Xu Jingheng, he would still contact his own father, former public minister, and ZTE’s first minister, Lu Haowen!

I don’t know how the line between Liu Dazhong and Zhao Ding was arranged by the official family, but the line between Xu Jingheng and his father, the official family asked him, Lu Benzhong, to destroy it by himself. Under the rule, in the heart of the southeast, the Emperor Taishangyuan was dealt with for the officials, and the political appeal of Lu Xu would naturally collapse in an instant.

At that time, the Southeast Gongge wants to regenerate into a political opposition, but it cannot be so fast.

This kind of political arrangement is cruel, shameless, and even unreasonable... But Lu Benzhong can't feel anger, and there is no sense of betrayal, because he knows that this is only an arrangement under extreme circumstances. It was an arrangement based on the great misfortune of the official on the opposite side.

An emperor asked himself, a courtier, to do such an unthinkable thing by confessing his own affairs, and he can only accomplish something that can only be done consciously...He is very helpless.

Even, it seems a bit frank and upright.

"Lu Qing."

Under the candlelight, after a long time, Zhao Jiu called the other party slightly.

"The minister is here." Lu Benzhong bowed his head to right.

"Don't laugh at me."

"The minister dare not."

"I have clearly said that after I die, what will happen to him? As a result, I still can't help but decide this kind of secretive behind-the-scenes method, and the sea wants you to destroy your own future..."

"It's a minister who can't share the worries for the official family. The minister understands in his heart, but the minister has the real ability to separate his father from his family line, and he has long been with the official family to go to the front line. Only these things that need to be borrowed from the family line can have some effect." Lu Benzhong tumbled to the end. "For this matter, the officials didn't need to tell the ministers. As the ministers were dull in political affairs and military affairs, the officials directly asked Yang Tongzhi to arrange for one person, or simply let Ren Baozhong stay in Phoenix Mountain, which is enough to do this. Push it to the minister afterwards... the official is willing to tell the minister that it is already thinking about the ruler and the minister and taking care of the minister's mind."

Zhao Jiu was silent for a while and avoided the topic: "Since this is the case, you don't have to answer. Remember today's words. It doesn't matter whether you are willing to do it or not, depending on the situation at that time. Anyway, I don't know... Go back today!"

When Lu Benzhong heard this, he couldn't help but almost agreed on the spot... but he gritted his teeth and resisted, bowed his head and withdrew.

After the person left, it took a while before Zhao Jiu said, "What do you think?"

"The minister dare not say..." Standing in front of the door, Yang Yizhong turned and bowed inside. "I really don't know, but there is no need to say that. The minister always felt that although the Northern Expedition could not be tenable, it was still enough to achieve results, and then preserved, it will not reach this point."

Zhao Jiu under the Buddha statue shook his head and kept saying, "To put it bluntly, the words just now are useless. It can only show that I am afraid in my heart... Starting from the rain in early summer, considering that the Northern Expedition was just before my eyes, I He began to be afraid...that's why he was pushed to give him something that is neither rational nor wise, or even unrighteous."

"Officials afraid of defeat?"

"At first, I was afraid of defeat. After the house collapsed, I made up my mind, but I was afraid of other things." Zhao Jiu was still frank with Yang Yizhong. "Life is considered a master, death is also a ghost. I still think about Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong... You said that if I lose, eight years of work will be ruined once, ten years of hard work, and can't be restored. What will I have? How about coming back from crossing the river? What I am afraid of now is the endgame in case of defeat..."

Yang Yizhong instinctively wanted to persuade, but he didn't know where to start.

"Zhengfu." Zhao Jiu thought for a while, and finally sighed again. "Do you remember what I told you on the Bagong Mountain that day?"

"The minister took the liberty, I don't know which sentence it was?" Yang Yizhong hurriedly asked.

"I said... If the Jurchen crossed the river and couldn't escape, I will ask you to cut it off for me." Zhao Jiu sneered.

"It's... the official... but now and then." Yang Yizhong was in a panic.

"I know, one moment and another moment." Zhao Jiu ran the interface. "So, the order that I gave you this time is the opposite of that... If this Northern Expedition is defeated and I am ashamed of turning back, you will tie me up and take me back to Henan... and do it again for eight years. The work! Do you know it?"

"The minister understands!" Yang Yizhong bowed his head to take the order, relieved.

There was no word for a night, and the next day dawned, the Zhao official’s family had long since disappeared. Last night’s worries were unforgettable. On the contrary, the official who had just determined the determination of the Northern Expedition in the southeast showed an extremely enthusiastic attitude towards the southeast scholars—he brought it. One hundred post-replenishment officials from Hebei Province, who were born in the southeast, left Guo Zhongxun and his army behind, and brought only a thousand Yuqian squad straight to the battle. On that day, they left Phoenix Mountain, where they had been stationed for almost a year, and headed north. Face away.

Because the number of people accompanying him has been greatly reduced, and the places along the route are sufficient to provide logistics, the return of Zhao Guan's house this time is extremely fast.

On the first day of July, Lu Benzhong couldn't hold back. After privately altering the poem by Zhao Guanjia that had a true reputation, it appeared in the "Phoenix Xunkan". At the same time, the poet Zhao Guanjia crossed the Yangtze River from Guazhou.

Arrived in Huaidian on July 15th.

On July 25th, he once again left some of his subordinates and troops behind, and galloped to Nanjing (now Shangqiu).

By this time, before Tokyo came to greet him, Yue Fei, who was stationed in the north, took the lead to publicly greet him, and at the same time asked about droughts and floods in Zhejiang and Zhejiang, and the unrest in Fujian.

Zhao Guan’s family immediately responded publicly, saying that Southeast had been secured, and asked whether Jingdong’s armaments were appropriate.

After the envoy came back and forth, it is said that because of the autumn harvest, the Zhao official’s family only started from Nanjing on the first day of August, but slowly set off to Tokyo together with Lu Yihao, who traveled less than 20 miles a day. At this time, the ministers in charge of Tokyo and local officials had already known about the interaction between Yue Fei and Shengjia before, but they quickly expressed their greetings, saying that the storage is sufficient, the road has been repaired, and the armor is full. Morale is flourishing.

In the end, it turned out that Li Qiong officially said that sentence, "Please divide your troops out of the Taihang, and regain the native land of the two rivers."

Regarding this, the Zhao official family continued to return to Beijing slowly, but at the same time they publicly decreed to refute them. It was an explicit report to the ministers and military commanders, and the military state must not divorce the reality and exaggerate without authorization.

At the same time, the data from the Privy Council, the Imperial battalion, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Industry along the way pointed out that the current situation is that only roads and warehouses have been properly repaired. The ordnance is also slightly short of the full quota, and the livestock is not fat enough; like the allies of the parties, only the Khitan and Western Mongolia have publicly promised to send troops from the Yinshan Mountains. Japan is willing to send a warrior to express its position, as East Mongolia does not have. Determined, the Goryeos refused to answer both ends of the head. Another example is the disharmony of navy ships, which are not enough to launch a battle independently. Another example is the food storage, which is not used for military use for less than a year. You need to wait until the autumn harvest to find out the data to be at ease.

Immediately, the official also publicly issued envoys to commend the outstanding preparations for the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Hu Yin, the Hubu Shangshu Lin Jingmo, the imperial army commander Wang Yan, the imperial army former army commander Yue Fei, and the imperial army army commander Li Yanxian. He also reprimanded Chen Gui, deputy envoy of the Privy Council, for inadequate ordnance. After the imperial camp, the army commanded Wu Jie and his accounts were chaotic. The right army of the imperial camp was commanded by Zhang Jun who had nothing to do and could not train the troops diligently. , Empty military resources.

On this journey, the Zhao Guan’s family walked for more than two hundred and sixty miles, and even Guo Zhongxun’s troops behind him caught up during the period and went directly to the Qingcheng garrison in southern Tokyo. Fan Zongyin, Yu Yunwen, Mei Li and others are gradually catching up... and all these memorials, replies, commendations, and reprimands along the way are all published on the Dibao, the world is everywhere, not to mention Song people, but Jurchens and Koreans can see clearly. Clearly Chu.

On August 14th of the ninth year of Jianyan, Zhao Guan’s family once again returned to his loyal Tokyo city, but he passed through the city a year later and did not enter. Instead, he entered the Yuetai Camp in the west of the city, and on the second day. In August, the Mid-Autumn Festival hosted the Mid-Autumn Festival.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it’s time to recruit scholars~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This time, Zhao Guan’s family has entered the city. He tried to find out how to appease Hebei Fourth Road after the Northern Expedition...that is, Hebei East Road, Policy questions on Hebei West Road, Hedong Road, and Yanshan Road.

He even ordered Zhang Jiu, who was allowed to participate in the palace examination, to become the champion.

Then, within a few days after the palace examination, the official stayed in the harem. It is said that most of them were enjoying the happiness of family with two concubines, princesses, and princes.

But this kind of day did not last long. On the last day of August, the official hosted a public banquet at Gyeongbokgung Palace for the three queen mothers to watch the new play "Jangsheng Palace". At the Great Dynasty Meeting in early September, they directly announced an unlimited amount of Northern Expedition Treasury bonds that were sold simultaneously at prices of money, silk, and grain. At the same time, twelve bachelors, such as Lou Zhen, Zhang Tao, and Wang Jin, and twelve secretaries such as Zongying, Su Bai, and Li Tao were sent into the imperial army and various departments for communication.

And on this afternoon, after only half a month in Tokyo City, Zhao Guanjia himself went out of the city directly with the governor of Hebei Lu Yihao and the governor of the imperial capital, Wang Yan, who had already converged. General inspection along the Yellow River.

This action made Hebei's Jurchen army unbearable anymore. Under the command of the two marching divisions of Daming Mansion and Longde Mansion, tens of thousands of Jurchen troops began to dispatch and respond.

On both sides of the Yellow River, there was a rumbling, and the grass and trees were all soldiers.

"Qin Xianggong is a southerner, do you think the Zhao Song official family is bluffing this time, or is it really going to send troops?"

At Yanjing Shangshutai, autumn clouds were high and there was no autumn rain on this day, but Qin Hui still couldn't help shivering with the frowning of the Liao King and Taishi leading minister Yan Wuben.

But I don't know what are you afraid of?

PS: I am very grateful to the new leader, Pan Xilaiya... for continuing to worship the early years.
