Chapter 39: Zhao'an
Bitter mouth, tears and tears!
"Wang Xianggong, since the imperial court moved south, the Jin people were rampant, and bandits were rampant. The court is in danger, the lives of the people are in misery, His Majesty's holy body is not safe, and he has been sick in bed for a long time. For the sake of the first emperor, please return to the center, remove the filth for the imperial court, and comfort Your Majesty's thoughts with the hearts of all the people! The villain begs for justice!"
In the lobby of the Xuanfu Division, Cao Xun knelt on the ground, his eyes weeping, and he couldn't stop kowtowing.
"Wang Xianggong is loyal to the country, and the old man naturally knows the grievances. It's just that the monarch is the minister, even if the prince is sad in private, for the great Song Dynasty, he should also give up his previous suspicions, loyally protect the country, and take the righteousness of the whole monarch and ministers. Think twice!"
Uncle Zhang's eyes were complicated, and he persuaded him bitterly, and every sentence came from the bottom of his heart.
"Wang Xianggong, you have driven out the northern captives in the north, camped in the fields and tuntian, and there are countless living people. The old man admires it so much! The golden man rode vertically and horizontally, and the loyal army could break through its army and repel it, relying on the flesh and blood of countless soldiers, Wang Xianggong, you were almost dead, how could the old man not know!"
Liu Tao stroked his white beard and said loudly: "The imperial court is now in turmoil, and it is out of place. Miao Liu's change, the gold, silver, money and silk in the DPRK and China were swept away. The mob in the south of the Yangtze River rose up one after another, and Jinghu and Jiangxi were rotten. If this continues, the Great Song Dynasty will fall apart. At that time, it will not be far from the destruction of the country. Wang Xianggong, you were once a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty, and you were in a high position. Can you bear to look at the court like this? ”
Wang Song shook his head and smiled bitterly. After his own snubbing, everyone didn't seem to give up, but became more impatient.
In the court of the Great Song Dynasty, not to mention Zhao Ji and Zhao Gou's father and son, they were eager for him on the surface, but in fact, they hated him behind his back. Most of the scholars in the court also wanted to get rid of Wang Song as soon as possible.
When Wang Song served as the Xuanfu envoy, the ministers of these political halls were already excited and vigorous. Now that Wang Song owns the land of two rivers, Shaanxi, and Henan, he is like a feudal town, and these scholars and doctors don't know how jealous they hate him in their hearts!
Wang Songzheng went out on his own, raised a large army privately, appointed officials, and openly competed with the imperial court for Shaanxi and the Huaiyan Coast, and Sima Zhao's heart was clearly revealed.
Such a self-respecting person, without a king, and brazen person, can still be hypocritically benevolent and righteous, admired by all the people, and known to the whole world.
If they are lucky enough to read the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in later generations, they will definitely be like Zhuge Liang scolding Wang Lang, pointing at Wang Song's nose and scolding:
"I've never seen such a brazen person in the world!"
Cao Xun, Zhang Shuye, and Liu Tao surrounded Wang Song and attacked in turn, but Wang Song just smiled and listened, and did not make any reply or comment.
"Xianggong, it's not good, the princess is here!"
Before the guard's voice fell, Zhao Duofu had already walked in.
"Lady, why are you here?"
Wang Song sighed in his heart, after all, father and son are connected. It's just that who is so bold that he actually informed Zhao Duofu of the news that the imperial court envoy is here, and the time is so good?
"Don't worry, the concubine only heard that her father was seriously ill, so she came here to ask this."
"Princess, Your Majesty's body is not in harmony, but there is nothing serious, I just miss the princess. I begged the princess to persuade the prince to return to the court as soon as possible and share the joy of the ministers and the sons of man. Weng and son-in-law joined forces, and the world was peaceful. ”
Zhao Duofu's face was slightly red, and he said: "Gong Cao, my father-in-law has already had an idea about this matter. Since my father is fine, the concubine has retired!"
Wang Song nodded, and Zhao Duofu left without mentioning Wang Song's return to the imperial court.
If you change people, in front of these old acquaintances and messengers, you will definitely be moved to tears, long live the mountain, and instantly become a loyal and filial son of the court.
Fortunately, Wang Song is from the next generation, and he knows everything about the character of Zhao Ji and Zhao Gou. These people even had the emperor as the king, killed Yue Fei, and destroyed the Great Wall
can do it, what is the lower limit of being a person?
Once he submits to the Song Dynasty, his military power will be deprived immediately, not to mention his own honor and disgrace, the great cause of resisting Jin will come to an abrupt end, and the northern land that he has worked so hard to restore may be reduced to nothing in an instant.
"A few virtuous men!"
Wang Song finally opened his mouth.
"In a few months, at the time of the autumn harvest, my loyal army will go north and fight the Jinren. When the time comes, it is still unknown whether it will be victory or defeat, life or death. Isn't the imperial court afraid that our army will be defeated and gain nothing, but will be the enemy of the Jin? ”
Several people looked at each other, and Uncle Zhang was just about to speak, Wang Song shook his head and continued:
"Zhang Xianggong, all the ministers of the court, including the officials and the crown prince, have long regarded Wang Song as the king of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms, and An Lushan of the Tang Dynasty. Qing's father is not dead, and Lu is not in trouble. The ministers in the court who want the head of my Wang Songxiang are probably nine times out of ten. ”
"A hundred years of life, the white horse has passed through the gap, what Wang Song wants is not only to restore the old rivers and mountains of my Han and Tang Dynasties, but also to rein in Ma Yanran, seal the wolf Juxu, and never suffer from border troubles."
He turned his head, looked at the stunned three people in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "The matter of returning to the imperial court, after I discuss it with a group of subordinates, I will reply to you tomorrow."
Return to the Imperial Court!
When these four words came out of Wang Song's mouth, everyone in the hall was stunned.
"Brothers, anyone who has received the favor of the Great Song Dynasty court and the official family and wants to leave, Wang will never stop him, and he will be entangled."
Wang Song spit out his heart in a deep voice, but his heart was relaxed. What should come will come after all. He will not compromise and go against his original intention for the sake of some people.
The Tao is different, do not conspire with each other, so that we can gather and disperse, and we can see each other in the future.
Guo Yong sighed, stood up, and bowed: "Xianggong, I am deeply favored by the first emperor in the future, if Xianggong cannot return to the imperial court, I am willing to resign from today's position, return to the countryside, and hope that Xianggong will be fulfilled!"
Wang Song sighed in his heart. Guo Yong's family is wealthy, and he cherishes feathers the most, and he especially admires Yan Zhenqing. With such a strong temperament of his, it is rare to be able to work together under his command so far.
When Zhang Shuye and others arrived in Hebei, everyone else avoided them, only this Guo Yong was hospitable and also a rectum.
"Guo Gong, you are fierce and loyal, jealous and hateful, and your ethics can be described as complete. It's just that you know, the eldest husband is the one, what is the plan?"
Guo Yong was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but speak: "Please make it clear!"
Everyone in the hall also raised their heads and looked at Wang Song in the hall.
In the eyes of Guo Gong, there is only the Song family and no Han nationality, and he is obsessed with advancing and retreating with the Zhao and Song royal families, but he has abandoned tens of millions of Han people, which is not done by the righteous. The Song family abandoned tens of millions of people, and Guo Gong wanted to live in seclusion in the countryside, where did he leave tens of millions of people, how can history record, is it a loyal minister of the Song Dynasty or a criminal minister of my Han people?"
Guo Yong's face turned red, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Wang Lun's face was slightly red, and he stood up and said loudly:
"Xianggong, the court blindly fled south, ceded land for compensation, begged for peace on the knees, and abandoned the people like a sloppy walker. How can my generation not be cold? If the prince arrives in Guanzhong, he will know that no one among the people does not scold the court, and no one does not praise my loyal and righteous army. How the prime minister decides, it should also follow the will of the people. ”
Niu Gao stood up and said loudly: "Xianggong, Brother Wang Lun is right!" Now that the gold thief has not been repelled, Western Xia is also eyeing it. At this time, after returning to the imperial court, not only was there no way to talk about the great cause of resisting gold, but the brothers probably didn't even know how to die. This is absolutely impossible!"
The strong soldier and the strong man are kings, and the loyal and righteous army is invincible. As the so-called situation dictates, when the wind and rain are good, the good crops in the field have to be harvested by others, and who would be willing.
Now these generals in the army are all full of ambition and high spirits. Putting aside interests and personal honor and disgrace, how can they be happy if Zhao Ji is on top.
Niu Gao's words aroused the echo of most of the people in the hall. Especially the generals in the army, there are almost no people
did not respond, even the "new" Xu Qing and others responded loudly.
"Xianggong, those big turbans, all of them have nine bends and eighteen bends in their stomachs, and they don't spit out bones when they eat people. The brothers follow each other, meritorious deeds will be rewarded, and mistakes will be punished, and they are very happy. If the turbans come, the villain is willing to quit the army and go to the countryside to farm!"
Xu Qing shouted loudly, completely ignoring the look of Yue Fei next to him.
"Xianggong, after the war in Fuzhou, everyone knows how the imperial court treated Xianggong and his brothers. The tens of thousands of brothers who died in the ice and snow in Fuzhou are blood proof. What should such a court do?"
Ma Kuo's voice was tragic, and many of the generals in the hall who had participated in the Battle of Fuzhou were red-eyed.
Xianggong remembered the brothers, gave money and food to pay for them, and built a martyr's shrine to worship them. What is the court doing again!"
Zhang Heng was sad and angry, and Zhang Xian hurriedly took it.
"Xianggong, Zhang Heng is right. It won't be long before our army will go north. At this critical juncture, if the army returns to the imperial court and the soldiers will change hands, I am afraid that the army's morale will be unstable, and this matter cannot be decided. ”
"Huang Gong, Li Gong, Zhu Gong, what do you think?"
In the face of Wang Song's inquiry, Huang Zuo, Li Ruoxu, and Zhu Meng said that they looked at each other, and Huang Zuo gritted his teeth and stood up.
"Xianggong, strong capture on the side of the ring, we need to unite as one to restore the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Didn't the prime minister hear the story of my founding of the Great Song Dynasty and "releasing military power with a glass of wine"?"
Wang Song nodded, it seems that not only does he hate the poison of "using civil affairs to control the military" and "civil ministers commanding the army", but even these wise people who are worried about the fate of the nation also know it.
It seems that with the passage of time, the loyal army has won successive victories, and the staff and generals under his command have accepted the reality that the loyal army is overwhelming.
People, always realistic!
Of course, even the purest metals will have impurities in them. It's just that the voice of agreement is loud, and the "soft voice" of opponents is suppressed.
"Brother Yue, what do you think of the court's appeasement?"
Yue Wumu, who is famous in history, has a solemn face at the moment, and responds with a fist:
"The prime minister agrees or refuses, and the villain takes the prime minister's head as the first step. It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders. The villain only cares about marching and fighting, these headaches, Xianggong decides for himself!"
Wang Song nodded and said: "Brothers, don't worry, even if we and the imperial court do not interfere with each other, but we are both Han people, and unless we have to, the Xuanfu Division will never meet with the imperial court swordsmen, nor will it hurt the Great Song royal family."
As soon as Wang Song's words came out, Yue Fei, Li Ruoxu, including Guo Yong and others, all breathed a sigh of relief, and their faces became relaxed.
Wang Song walked down, patted Guo Yong's shoulder, and said softly: "Guo Gong, the great husband is the world, and it is to help all the people and protect the future generations. You go down and think about it, and don't rush to decide. ”
Li Ruoxu also persuaded on the side: "Gong Guo, you and I are both children of the Daimyo Mansion. In the land of Hebei, the Jin people repeatedly wreaked havoc, the people were hungry, hungry and cold, and the people's livelihood withered. Now there is a lot of waste waiting to be rebuilt, and there has just been a little improvement. Can you bear to give up halfway and see your fellow villagers suffer?"
"Brother Li said that he is ashamed of his feelings, and he will consider it carefully!"
Guo Yongsu bowed and stepped aside.
Wang Song said loudly: "Brothers, the Jin people have been dormant for a year, and they are already hungry and thirsty. Once the summer is over, it will be a big battle. The Jin people are likely to come from all over the country, and our army must also be prepared and take precautions!"
The generals in the army and the shogunate personnel all stood solemnly, waiting for orders.
Wang Song stood up, his face solemn.
"Recently, there have been constant frictions on the border in the north, and the Jin and Xia people have repeatedly invaded. Brothers, friends come with good wine, and jackals come with knives and guns. Repay grievances directly, and pay for blood debts and blood!"
The blood of the generals surged, and they said loudly together: "Repay grievances directly, and pay for blood debts and blood!"
