Chapter 175
Chong Yansong got his grandfather's instructions and paid attention to the dynamics of the northern country all the time. His station is adjacent to Ying, Shuo Erzhou, and his merchants often go to Datongfu and Tanggu, and because Lin Yi has a good way to operate, the military budget is sufficient, and he can spend a lot of money to support secret agents, so the information he has about the northern country is far more detailed than Wang Anzhong.
The news that the Jin people are likely to tear up the alliance on the sea and raise troops to go south is becoming more and more accurate day by day, and Chong Yansong often sends letters to Tong Guan, Wang An and others, but there is no reply at all! He personally went to the table to report the newspaper, and was always suppressed by the prime minister of the DPRK and China. On this day, he got news from Tanggu: the Han Department may be the vanguard of the southern invasion under the threat of the Jin people! Chong Yansong was taken aback when he found out, and was preparing a table, when suddenly the imperial court sent a messenger to deliver a decree, ordering him to go to Beijing immediately to report on his work.
Chong Yansong thought that it was just right, and ordered the deputy general to guard the camp and horses, and Lin Yi to take charge of the money and grain and civil affairs, so he would go south.
Lin Yi said: "The court suddenly came to spread the news, and it happened suddenly, I'm afraid it's not a good thing!" ”
Chong Yansong said: "What bad thing can it be? ”
Lin Yi muttered: "The general might as well leave a day late, and wait for me to take care of it." ”
At this time, Chong Yansong already trusted him quite a lot, so he shirked the urgent military affairs and told the envoy to leave the next day. It was not easy for the messenger to go all the way to this deep mountain and old forest, and he was about to take a rest, so he agreed without much hesitation.
That night, Lin Yi put on the delicacies of the mountains and seas, displaying the beautiful gold beads, the messenger is the style of Tong Guan, half drunk and showed his mouth, it turned out that Lin Yi couldn't participate in Guo Yaoshi last time, but was participated in by Guo Yaoshi, impeaching him for supporting the army and respecting himself! The imperial court had a good impression of Chong Yansong, but when he heard this kind of rumors, he couldn't ignore it, and immediately sent someone to announce his entry into the court.
Lin Yi was taken aback when he found out, drunk the messenger, and came to discuss with Chong Yansong overnight, Chong Yansong has gained experience in fighting, but his cultivation in political infighting is not qualified, after hearing about this incident, he first couldn't believe it, then sighed and angered, and finally decided to return to Beijing to theorize!
Lin Yi said: "No, no! If Pharmacist Guo can pass this level, he must have used clever means and a lot of money in the court! Now the court is as black as a crow, where can I say it clearly! ”
Chong Yansong said: "If you can't say it clearly, you have to say it!" Do you still let them be wronged! ”
Lin Yi said: "Naturally, you can't let them be wronged, but things have to be done smartly." ”
Chong Yansong asked, "What kind of trick?" ”
Lin Yi said: "Naturally, it's money." ”
"Give money?" Chong Yansong was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "You want me to bribe?" No way! My family has always acted above board, if my grandfather was willing to bribe, would he still end up in today's predicament? Bribery is absolutely unacceptable! ”
Lin Yi frowned and said, "If you don't do this, I'm afraid that when the general enters the Bian, it will be the day when the loyal army is disbanded!" ”
Chong Yansong snorted and said, "The body is not afraid of shadows!" I don't believe that there is no place for reasoning in this court! ”
Lin Yi persuaded him a few more words, but always persuaded him not to move, and thought about it: "The general refuses to pay bribes, it is a high-level festival that is not easy to do!" Lin Yi admired. However, for the sake of the 20,000 soldiers and civilians of the Loyal Army, I also ask the general to listen to my advice. ”
At this time, the Loyal Armed Army was digging fields and iron, grazing horses and sheep in the strongholds in the mountains, forests and valleys, and in addition to the standing army of 2,000 or 3,000 people, there were still 20,000 people stationed at the border, including agriculture, animal husbandry, industry and commerce, students, and monks. After getting along for a long time, Lin Yi had already treated them as relatives, and nodded: "You say." As long as it is not a violation of Yansong's court training and the laws of the state, I will obey it. ”
Lin Yi said: "The general only wants to show his loyalty to the imperial court, and he must not mention the matter of Guo Yaoshi again." ”
Chong Yansong asked, "Why?" ”
Lin Yi said: "Since Guo Yaoshi can get rid of the trouble and frame the general in turn, it can be seen that he must have a party in the court!" And this fellow party may still be Xuanfu and Prime Minister! At this time, if the general pulls Guo Yaoshi into the water, then those who have received the benefits of Guo Yaoshi will definitely impeach the general in order to protect themselves, in order to get away with the crime. Therefore, the matter of Pharmacist Guo can not be mentioned again! ”
Chong Yansong said: "But he really has a bad plan!" ”
Lin Yi sighed: "General, Cai Jing, Tong Guan, and Zhu Mian's style, Ling Zuke agrees?" ”
When he heard him mention Cai Jing and Tong Guan, he hated him and said, "These national thieves! If it weren't for them, how could the Great Song Dynasty be where it is today! ”
Lin Yi asked, "In that case, why didn't the seed minister pull them down?" ”
"This ......" Chong Yansong sighed: "Grandpa, it's not that he doesn't want to, but ...... It's beyond our power! ”
"That's right!" Lin Yi said: "For this Pharmacist Guo, it's not that we don't want to, but we can't!" Checkmate! You must promise me that you must never mention the matter of Pharmacist Guo in Bianjing, otherwise, otherwise...... Otherwise, I, Lin Yi, will immediately clap my hands and go back to Fujian, and ignore the general's affairs! ”
Chong Yansong was stunned and said, "Brother Lin, is this necessary?" ”
"Of course!" Lin Yi said: "If you don't listen to my advice, General, Guo Yaoshi's comrades will definitely fight back, and then the loyal army will inevitably be disbanded, and I am afraid that I will also become a prisoner of the ranks." Lin Yi is willing to share the hardships with the general on the battlefield, but he is not willing to be wronged and humiliated and imprisoned because of the general's unwisdom! ”
Chong Yansong hesitated for a long time and said, "But what about Pharmacist Guo ......"
Lin Yi said: "Pharmacist Guo's matter, wait until this matter is over!" Next time we collect ironclad evidence, we will definitely make him pass the buck! ”
"Okay." Chong Yansong said: "I listen to you." ”
Lin Yi then let him go south, and at the same time sent his henchmen to Tokyo overnight, rushing ahead of Chong Yansong and letting Zhou Xiaochang find a way to dredge the joints. The bribery system of the Han Ministry in Bianliang was very smooth, and all important departments had already received filial piety by the time Chong Yansong arrived, and secretly praised Chong Yansong for being much more well-behaved and smart than Naizu. Emperor Daojun listened to Bai Shizhong's kind words, and Chong Yansong summoned him immediately, so he dispelled his doubts, summoned him to the side hall, and gave wine to return. I was afraid that Yan Song would be resentful, so I ordered Tong Guan to comfort him with kind words.
Chong Yansong didn't have a good impression of Tong Guan, but after all, the other party was his top boss, and now he was fully responsible for gold-related affairs, so he told the military situation that Dajin would let Hanbu be the striker of the Song Dynasty, hoping that he would find a way soon!
Tong Guan was also quite surprised when he heard that the Han Dynasty would be from the Jin War, and he had heard the news of the Jurchen invasion of the south several times before, but he didn't take it very seriously. But at this time, Yan Song's words were conclusive, and Tong Guan had a lot of contacts with the Han Ministry, and he was afraid that the Han Bu would suddenly turn his face and be implicated, so after he went back, he summoned the left and right staff to discuss countermeasures.
Ma Kuo said: "There are many generals in Tanggu and Datong!" This news is true! ”
Wang Gui said: "If it's true, then how can it be good?" The soldiers and horses of the Han Department, one thousand people can win the Liao people five thousand, which is no worse than the Jurchens! ”
Ma Kuo said: "I have had a lot of contact with the officials of the Han Ministry and know that they are not really interested in women!" Even if the news from Jin Fa Song this time is true, I am afraid that there will be many twists and turns inside! We can use the Han Department to contain the Jurchens, and lead the Jurchens to be suspicious of the Han Dynasty! As long as they attack each other, we can reap the benefits of the fishermen! ”
Wang Gui rarely had no conflict with Ma Kuo this time, and said: "What Master Ma said is extremely true! The subordinates have a plan, which can make the Jurchen soldiers and horses unable to go south without spending a single soldier on me! ”
Tong Guan was overjoyed and was busy asking. But I don't know what Wang Gui is dedicating, please vote and then listen to the decomposition.
