"The holy decree has arrived, and Song Ci has taken it."

When Song Ci heard this, he immediately walked out and knelt on the ground, "Father-in-law is auspicious, Song Ci is here." ”

The eunuch said: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Xianghe suppressed the bandit deputy general Song Ci, I ordered Song Ci to continue to garrison Xianghe, but did not give military salaries and food and soldiers to supply, so that Song Ci is self-sufficient, if Xianghe County is stationed strongly, it will continue to be here, if it misses, it will be degraded together with Chen Shixiong, and Qin this."

Song Ci's heart shook violently, he should have come or come, he couldn't escape, it seemed that someone must have said something unfavorable to him in the palace, otherwise, how could Song Lizong treat himself like this?

Song Ci's face was bloodless, but he still said, "Thank you, Lord Longen!"

The eunuch handed over the holy decree, and Song Ci took it and got up, "Father-in-law, this long journey is really hard for you, why don't you ask your father-in-law to drink a cup of tea inside?"

The eunuch said: "Don't bother Lord Song, I'm going to return to Lin'an, Lord Song, the situation in the court seems to be very bad for you now, you must be more careful, there are countless people who want your life."

Song Ci nodded, he had already known this, it couldn't be just Cao, Tang and Wu, but these three people still had to be valued by the emperor, if it weren't for the support of Director Lu, he would have either been dismissed or murdered.

"Thank you for the announcement, Song has already written it down, by the way, please tell the emperor that the father-in-law will say that Chen Shixiong, the main general of the Xianghe bandits, has died in battle, if the emperor can't trust Song, he can transfer someone again, and if he can trust it, Song can take over this position."

The eunuch exclaimed, "It's a pity that Lord Chen, who has been encircled and suppressed for ten years, has died, but Lord Song, in my opinion, the emperor may lead you to garrison here. ”

Song Ci thought to himself, with the nonsense of the chaotic party, if Emperor Lizong is not a Ming monarch, then there is no hope for the Great Song Dynasty, if he is like Emperor Ningzong, he still has hope to fight with the Jin people.

The eunuch thought for a moment, "Lord Song, don't worry, I will definitely tell the emperor this, the world of the Great Song Dynasty, which is about to perish, depends on Lord Song, otherwise, he and I will all be slaves of the country." ”

Saying that, he was about to leave, but Song Ci immediately said, "Father-in-law, please stay, Song still has something to ask."

The eunuch turned to look at the other party, "Lord Song will ask if he has something to say, and if he has something to ask, he will definitely not refuse." ”

Song Ci weighed it in his mind for a moment, and said, "May I ask my father-in-law, I don't know who is responsible for fighting the Jin people in the court?"

"This.... To tell the truth, Lord Song is the Lord Zhu Zhian of the Ministry of War, this person has been stationed at the border for ten years, and he has to walk millions of taels of silver every month, millions of catties of grain, and at the same time, there are countless horses, etc., but he has never asked the court and the emperor for manpower, do you say it's weird?"

Millions of silver? Millions of pounds of grain, how many soldiers does this person have in his hands? Why do you need so much silver when you have food?

The eunuch saw what Song Ci was thinking, and sighed: "Lord Song, I also know that there is an inside story here, but the emperor just doesn't believe it, and he also said that he has guaranteed that the Great Song Dynasty will not die for ten years, which can be said to have a huge merit.

Song Ci said: "Father-in-law, in this way, this person is indeed fighting against gold?" It's just that the winner hasn't been decided, hasn't it?"

"It's... It's hard to say anything below, after all, there is no evidence for everything, right? Lord Song, fighting a war will consume troops, but this Zhu Zhian has never asked for generals, don't you think it's strange?"

Song Ci was silent, and the eunuch continued: "Every month there will be good news from the border, all of them are defeated by the Jin people, how many enemies come, but they can't, the casualties are all the other party, and all my Great Song soldiers are invulnerable?"

Song Ci suddenly arched his hand and said: "Father-in-law, what you mean Song understands, father-in-law rest assured, Song will definitely keep this secret."

The eunuch nodded and immediately left with the people.

Song Ci looked at his departing back, and there was a sudden shock in his mind, as if it was cracked, empty, nothing.

This anti-gold master Zhu Zhi'an has a big problem, if he doesn't take it, I'm afraid ..... I'm afraid that the Great Song Dynasty doesn't want to destroy the Jin people.

However, he is just a deputy general of Xianghe, what do you do to fight with the other party? Millions of taels of silver in a month, no matter how much silver the court has, it can't be enough.

Song Ci was depressed, and walked into the house slowly, becoming more and more annoyed, worried about the country and the people, and worried about the world, he didn't know how the Great Song Dynasty should go next in the Great Song Dynasty, it was difficult to achieve the prosperous scene of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

In the house, Qin Xiaoyue and others brought food, Song Ci had no appetite, and put down his chopsticks after eating a small bite, "Xiaoyue Xiaoxiang, you immediately call Wencheng Wenwu and Lu Sheng Renyou, this time, I'm afraid we will encircle and suppress on a large scale." ”

"Ahh My lord, it is said that there are tens of thousands of thieves who are anti-thieves, are you sure we can take it down?

Song Ci was also forced to make this decision, and the court didn't care about him from now on, neither gave the soldiers nor the silver, and he could only go on like this.

At the same time, if these rebels are not exterminated or Zhao'an, their team will get bigger and bigger, and when the time comes, it will be very difficult to take them down in one fell swoop.

"Miss Xiaoyue, you better go, Song Mou already has an opinion about all this, this time the bandits are bound to be won, I can't afford to spend it, I don't dare to take this risk, as long as this gang of thieves is taken down, this Xianghe River will finally return to calm."

They nodded and immediately walked out of the door, and soon, Wencheng Wenwu and others ran over and entered the house.

"My lord, what do you command?"

Song Ci didn't know when he had fallen asleep, got up from the bed in a daze and said: "Wencheng Wenwu, I think you already know about Chen Shixiong's death in battle, this time the number of thieves is more than before, and it is even our decisive battle, Song asked you, are you terrible?"

"Ahh Man, you mean, we're ready for a large-scale encirclement? However, with our current strength, we can defeat the other party?"

Song Ci thought for a while and said: "This is the reason why Song summoned you here, this time is the most dangerous, if it fails, I will wait for all of them, but the anti-thieves are not as good as the Jin people, they are all the people of our Great Song Dynasty, you also know, if you have food, who will come nonsense?"

They immediately understood, and they understood what Song Ci said.

Several people sat opposite Song Ci, "My lord, in my opinion, shoot people first and shoot horses, and capture thieves first and capture kings first, why don't we just kill the anti-thief leader?" Without the backbone, they may become a plate of loose sand. ”

"Song also means this, because there are too many people, and they kill their own people, why don't you go directly to the border to kill Jinren?"

"So a few of you, Song ordered you to find a group of archers among the soldiers, it is best to train for a few days, after a week, we will immediately participate in the encirclement and suppression, and at the same time, in the creation of some longbows and arrows, as long as the anti-thief leader dies, we will easily subdue them."

"Yes, my lord, in that case, we will immediately go and find some young and strong men, select a hundred as archers, and then start training."

That's what Song Ci wants, and besides that, there is no way to face the thief head-on. In the Lin'an Xuande Palace, several officials brought Sister Jia Yidao into the interior, and because of her handsome appearance, she soon aroused Song Lizong's idea.

Lord Tang knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that you are not young, even if it is the emperor, it should be time to start a family, although you are working all day long on state affairs, but I can't do without a concubine or a queen in the Great Song Dynasty!"

Wu Xi immediately said: "What Lord Tang said is completely agreeable, this woman is the daughter of Shi Jia She, this person has died of illness, the emperor, we are not pleasing you, but this woman is very gorgeous, it can be said that there is no one in ten thousand, the emperor should not miss it."

Song Lizong quickly noticed Jia Shi in front of him, his heart was already pounding, it was obvious that he had already moved.

Such a beauty is not to mention that it is very difficult to see in the outside world, if it were not for the production of Shi Jiashe's daughter, I am afraid that someone would have already taken the lead.

Jia knelt on the ground, very respectful, she could enter the palace as a concubine, she was very willing, and at the same time, the emperor Song Lizong was still young.

Song Lizong smiled, he was happy in his heart, and immediately said, "Two adults, I don't know how you found this girl?" I'm so happy, so happy!"

Tang Dadao: "Back to the emperor, his subordinates have already been thinking about lifelong events for the emperor, so he asked people to select this kind of gorgeous-looking person in the whole Song Dynasty, and then sent it to the palace.

"Yes, yes, the emperor, I am waiting for the emperor to run away, if this empress misses, I am afraid it will be difficult to train in the future.

Jia Shi was respectful, bowing his head and not daring to see Song Lizong, but he didn't know that her shy appearance made the latter even more satisfied.

"This girl, I ask you how old you are? Who else is in the family?"

Jia Shi whispered: "Back to the emperor, my father is Shi Jia Shi but has died, my mother is a concubine, and I also have a younger brother in Nanhe County.

"Jia She? This person was a history of making things before his death, I don't know how your sister and brother are doing after your father passed away?"

Jia didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he had to tell the truth.

"If you go back to the emperor, the people's daughter will not die of hunger at the moment, but she will not be able to eat enough, if she is not brought into the palace, I am afraid that she will not know what to eat for the next meal."

As soon as these words came out, Song Lizong immediately felt heartache and wanted to embrace him in his arms.

"Your father has passed away, and as a member of my Great Song Dynasty, I am really heartbroken, in that case, I ask you, are you willing to enter the palace as my concubine?

Jia Shi didn't think about it, she had been waiting for this day for a long time.

"Your Majesty, if you don't dislike the people's daughters, the people's daughters are willing to follow you and serve the emperor, the people's daughters, the people's daughters are willing."
