Chapter 743: Rumors Begin

Wang Shu and Wang Yuan also took action, Wang Shu was full of spirit, sitting in Kaifeng to see the overall situation, and Wang Yuan was in Mengzhou, personally dispatching the northern army to garrison the army in western Beijing. "Words * Love * First * Hair [Latest Chapter Reading Baoliny]: EFEFD and issued a letter to the state to protect the armor of the townsmen, secretly assembled 60,000 troops, and prepared to carry out a counteroffensive against Hedong with the cooperation of the Western Army.

The 100,000-strong army that was preparing to counterattack Hedong was also considered strong and powerful, and if it was commanded properly, it was likely to make a difference.

As for the various roads in Hebei, he also knows it well, and fully supports the opinions of the two governments, anyway, he can't hold it, why bother, it's better to fight Hedong's convenience, even if he can't take Taiyuan, as long as he takes the south road and the forts, he can also ensure the safety of Kaifeng.

Zhang Qiyuan was full of spirits, since he proposed the strategy of counterattacking Hedong, Sun Fu and Li Gang unanimously established yì and asked him to preside over the affairs of the northern counteroffensive, Wang Xiu was noncommittal.

It is understandable that Wang Xiu does not have the power to obstruct the privy envoy at all, and even establishes the prime minister Tang Ge as the nominal host, and uses his prestige to suppress the ministers everywhere, and Zhang Qiyuan is actually responsible.

Li Gang immediately agreed, Tang Ge was a little puzzled, but he reluctantly accepted it. After all, no one can refuse fame and reputation, and the counteroffensive of the 100,000-strong army, no matter how bad it is, can take a few military states, adding another heavy stroke to his resume.

Zhang Qiyuan also thought a lot, Wang Xiu's construction was reasonable, his own qualifications were a little shallow, and he suddenly presided over the military affairs of the north, I am afraid that several Xuanfu envoys will not be convinced, and Tang Ge will stand on it, so he still does it according to his proposal.

There is credit and everyone shares it equally, this is also the unspoken rule of the imperial court, even Wang Xiu has to share the benefits, let alone him

Due to the need to deploy for war, he went to the palace many times, which was unprecedented for the ministers under the two governments.

On this day, he was going to the Chongzheng Palace to meet Zhao Chen as usual, and to report on the preparations before the war, but he saw Zhao Gou outside the Chongzheng Palace.

Since Zhao Gou handed over his military power, he has been his vassal king, which is a shallow place, and he does not have too much interaction with the ministers, and is courteous to Zhu Lian and Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen even exempted the prince from the courtesy of the monarch and the minister on the grounds of the only surviving prince, and it was even more special in the family ceremony, Zhao Chen even had to pay a junior salute to him, and he was often called into the palace, which was also a spring breeze.

He lived in a simple place, but it did not mean that the news was closed, knowing that Zhang Qiyuan was quite proud during this time, and actually presided over the military affairs in the north of the imperial court.

The two also have a good relationship in Yingtianfu, Zhang Qiyuan once served him, and even inspired his ambition to hide his heart, and he has been disconnected, since he has met, he naturally wants to go up to say hello.

Zhang Qiyuan had already seen Zhao Gou, hurriedly greeted him, and arched his hand: "The minister has seen the king." ”

"Why should Zichu be polite." Zhao Gou smiled gently, raised Zhang Qiyuan weakly, and said lightly: "You are an important minister of the imperial court, and you must not use a vassal against the vassal king." ”

"It's under Meng Lang" Zhang Qiyuan humbly admitted his mistake, but he didn't think so, he already knew who Zhao Gou was, and he used just a few words to hand over the vassal king, and this account can be understood by a fool.

Zhao Gou was very satisfied with Zhang Qiyuan's attitude, and said with a smile: "Zichu, I have been very busy with official business recently, so I rarely go to Zhongshan Academy."

Zhang Qiyuan didn't know what Zhao Gou meant, so he had to say: "What the king said is that it's just going round and round, how can there be kung fu to lecture, and even Wang Wenshi can't take care of it." ”

"Hehe, I went to the school twice, which is very good." Zhao Gou said with a smile

Zhang Qiyuan was stunned for a moment, and said lightly: "It's rare for the king to be idle, and the debate in the academy is really novel. ”

Zhao Gou raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Hehe, I have nothing to do, going to the academy is a pastime, and I can also hear debates, which is a kind of enjoyment." ”

Zhang Qiyuan felt that Zhao Gou was revealing some information, and as for what was up to the benevolent and the wise, he had a certain idea, as if he could take advantage of the king's dissatisfaction to achieve some of his goals.

Zhao Gou saw Zhang Qiyuan's expression, and couldn't help but smile: "The official family is inside, don't let me wait for a long time, Zichu is not going soon." ”

"The king, there is something I want to tell you another day, I don't know if the king has leisure" Zhang Qiyuan looked directly at Zhao Gou, his eyes flickering.

"I am the first idler in Jiangning, so I naturally have leisure." Zhao Gou smiled playfully.

Within a few days, rumors spread in the streets and alleys of Nanjing that Wang Xiu and the Queen Mother had a personal affair, and everyone in the palace knew that Zhang Quan was the one who threaded the needle. Even, it was rumored that Wang Xiu entered and exited Yuyang Palace in the middle of the night.

This news is very exciting, it spread to the government and the opposition in a few days, and people play the most abundant associations, and they don't see the queen mother so fond of Wang Xiu, and even often summons them alone, it turns out that there is a personal relationship between the two, and it is easy to explain.

It's just that Yiqiē can only discuss in private, and he can't get into the hall of elegance, and no one is caught on the spot, and he blames the queen mother and the prime minister in person, which is impatience. In the midst of all the discussions, there are faint rumors of an upgraded version.

Not tight, not slow, all are quietly fermenting.

On the same day, Wang Xiu and Zhang Qiyuan met Zhao Chen in the Ruisi Palace, Zhang Tonggu had arrived in Kaifeng and was continuing to go south by boat.

The official ponds of envoys from all over the country continued to gather, and there were more and more signs that the Jin army had completed the deployment of troops, not only in Yanshan, but also in Hedong, Zhang Qiyuan's strategy seemed a little inappropriate.

Well, it can't be completely said that it is inappropriate, the shape of the battlefield is ever-changing, and no one can say that it is variable until the end.

Zhao Chen was silent for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Prince, the captives stationed 60,000 horse infantry troops in Hedong, doesn't it mean that there is no hope of recovery. ”

Wang Xiu shook his head and said lightly: "Now the shape is still not very clear, and it is difficult to say whether it is successful or not." ”

It's a joke, 60,000 horse infantry troops are still a matter in Hedong, at best, there are 20,000 elites, and who can say the result until the end.

Zhao Chen's eyes were very complicated, and there was a faint anger, obviously knowing the rumors of the government and the opposition. However, today's situation in the Great Song Dynasty can be said to be created by Wang Xiu, and Li Gang, who can compete with Wang Xiu, does not seem to reject Wang Xiu too much, and the two even have surprisingly consistent views on some points, which makes him feel furious in his heart.

He is already a twenty-year-old young man, and he has long understood the importance of checks and balances, and Wang Xiu, who is low-key, is actually very strong, and the continuous cooperation of the important ministers of the two governments does not bode well for the Son of Heaven.

So far, the said major policies have been returned, but the important military affairs are still controlled by Zhu Lian, and he can't outrun Wang Xiu's hands, which makes him feel extremely dissatisfied.

I deeply feel that Wang Xiu is very hypocritical, obviously manipulating the foreign dynasty, on the surface he respects his prestige, but in fact he can't say anything at all, and the government affairs of the foreign dynasty almost run through Wang Xiu's will, whose family is in the world
