Chapter 141 Zhao Kuangyin's thoughts

Qin Li took the map designated by Li Tongjie and began to explain, and the three people present listened with relish.

This Qin Li is really amazing, it seems that in just one month, he can actually touch the military situation of Jinling in the Southern Tang Dynasty and even the south bank of the Yangtze River to such a detailed extent, it is simply ...... It's horrible.

"Qin Li, if what you said is true, Ben Shuai wants to ask you, how did you do it?"

Zhao Kuangyin has already begun to plan in his heart, the military information about the Southern Tang Dynasty brought back by Qin Li is enough to atone the credit, this person, he has to find a way to get it into his own hands.

"Marshal Qiqi Zhao, these are all the skills of the lower officials, if you say it, it will not work, please forgive the lower officials for not being able to say it."

Li Tongjie, the chief eunuch in the palace, is here, which shows that the emperor already knows and attaches great importance to this matter, to say, Qin Li also went to the emperor to say that if he has a chance to live, who doesn't want to fight for it.

"It's the marshal who is abrupt, but what you said still needs to be confirmed, since the marshal is in charge of the military affairs of the Great Zhou, it is better to hand over these maps to the marshal, and the marshal will arrange someone to verify it in detail."

Li Tongjie smiled:

"Marshal Zhao is dedicated to the country, our family really admires it, but the matter is very high, and our family thinks that it should be reported to His Majesty immediately, and His Majesty will decide."

Zhao Kuangyin was refuted by Li Tongjie, and he couldn't see the embarrassment, and said with a smile:

"After returning to Beijing, Ben Shuai always thought about the war ahead, and thought that he could share his Majesty's worries more, but he didn't think about it, thanks to Gonggong Li's reminder."

In Zhao Kuangyin's heart, he already understood that Li Tongjie had no way to win him over.

"Our family wants to thank Marshal Zhao for not reproaching our family for being rude, let's take these pictures first, let's take Qin Li into the palace to meet Your Majesty."

"That's very good, Gonggong Li, Master Ma, please."

The three of them took Qin Li to the palace together, and in the imperial study, they met the little emperor Guo Zongxun.

Guo Zongxun looked at Qin Li's hand-drawn map of the Southern Tang Dynasty brought back by Li Tongjie, and sighed in his heart that he didn't kill Qin Li at the beginning, but spent a long time trying to test this person, and now it seems that this effort was really not in vain.

"Qin Li handed it over to Dongchang, guarded in solitary custody, and ordered him to complete all the text descriptions of these maps within three days, and after completion, the original manuscript was copied in two copies and sealed immediately, and the authenticity of the map and the contents was examined by Dongchang and Zhao Aiqing respectively.

Zhao Kuangyin has already participated, and if he is kicked away again, I am afraid it will be inappropriate.

The military situation of the Southern Tang Dynasty can let Zhao Kuangyin know, after all, he is still the generalissimo of the Great Zhou, and the next strategic deployment of the Great Zhou must be known to him.

"The ministers obey."

Zhao Kuangyin didn't expect the little emperor to hand over Qin Li to Dongchang, and he didn't say what he would do with him.

According to Zhao Kuangyin's understanding, Dongchang should be specially for the little emperor to secretly investigate hundreds of officials, and such an institution is also a threat to himself.

Fortunately, the little emperor also asked him to participate in the survey of the map, and for Zhao Kuangyin, who was eager to seize the military power, leading the army to the expedition was the best way.

"The minister will definitely check in detail, and when His Majesty decides to conquer the Southern Tang Dynasty in the future, the minister will be the pioneer and expand the territory for His Majesty."

郭宗xun says:

"I have this intention, the Southern Tang Dynasty is known as the land of fish and rice, such a granary, it is naturally good to be included in my Great Zhou territory as soon as possible, Zhao Aiqing really thought of it with me."

After Zhao Kuangyin and Ma Yilin retreated, Guo Zongxun asked Wei Zhongxian to bring Qin Li back.

"See Your Majesty."

"Qin Li, I'm not afraid to tell you that it was you who saved yourself, and the so-called Southern Tang Dynasty spies were specially arranged by me, just to test your loyalty to my Great Zhou."

Qin Li kowtowed:

"Your Majesty, the minister actually guessed that the reason why the minister still fled to the Southern Tang Dynasty was to prove to His Majesty that the minister had no intention of betraying the Great Zhou, and the minister was still useful to the Great Zhou."

Guo Zongxun smiled, it doesn't take much effort to talk to smart people.

"That's very good, I made it clear, I don't have to think about it too much, I want you to be incognito now, and you can't even contact your family, can you do it?"

Since Zhao Kuangyin inserted a lever to come in, Guo Zongxun had no choice but to make this decision, originally he was preparing that after Qin Li passed the test, he sent Qin Li to pretend to defect to the Northern Han Dynasty, and the next target of Guo Zongxun's expedition was not the Southern Tang Dynasty, but the Northern Han Dynasty.

Because of Zhao Kuangyin's variable, now Guo Zongxun has changed his mind, the Great Zhou is currently full of grain and grass, the Yellow River is rare and has not flooded, and this time many cattle, sheep and horses have been captured from the Liao State, and the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Northern Han Dynasty fought at the same time, which is completely achievable.

Let Zhao Kuangyin lead the army to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty, let Yue Fei attack the Northern Han Dynasty, and leave a part of the army to sit in Kaifeng to deal with the changes of the Jiedu envoys in various places at any time.

Many people may have antipathy, but there are not many people who are so stupid that they don't have self-knowledge, Guo Zongxun believes that there are still not many.

The clever Jiedu envoy can only hope to hold on to his own one-third of an acre, Guo Zongxun's way to deal with them is to boil frogs in warm water, and when they realize that something is wrong and want to rebel, they will no longer have that opportunity and ability.

Don't have too many stupid people, be smarter, be selfish, and now, Guo Zongxun hopes that these festival envoys will do these things.

Sweep the snow in front of your door, ask for more blessings, and don't rebel against the trend.

What Guo Zongxun is most afraid of now is that if one family rebels, the rest of the people will follow suit, which is the worst.

"The minister is willing, the minister can do it, and the minister is willing to sacrifice his life for the Great Zhou and forget his life for His Majesty."

Qin Li's answer did not hesitate, which made Guo Zongxun a little surprised.

"Qin Li, I want to send your family to Luoyang, and you, for a long time, I will not allow you to go to Luoyang, can you really give up your family?"

Qin Li kowtowed:

"What Your Majesty wants the minister to do, it must be very confidential, the minister has done a foolish thing with only a blood, and the minister now regrets it, in order to atone for his sins, the minister must give up his family, for the sake of Da Zhou, for His Majesty, and for the minister's family."

Guo Zongxun walked over, helped Qin Li up, and said:

"I know that you are a loyal person, in this case, I will announce to the public that you committed suicide in Dongchang Prison, and your family will pardon them, but they must move to Luoyang to live a hard life for a while, but I can tell you responsibly that you and your family do not have to endure for too long, and when the time is right, I will rehabilitate you and announce your meritorious deeds for my Great Zhou."

Qin Li said excitedly:

"The minister can have the opportunity to atone for his sins, and he can also have the opportunity to serve His Majesty for the Great Zhou, he is already satisfied, Your Majesty is Shengming, there is no need to arrange too much for a criminal minister."

Guo Zongxun patted Qin Li's shoulder and said:

"I believe that you will change from a sinner of the Great Zhou to a hero of the Great Zhou who is praised by everyone in history."
