In the vertical arch hall of Tokyo Castle, it was very noisy, and the emperor naturally sat upright on the imperial chair, but when it came to the decision on court affairs, the ministers standing in the main hall seemed to have more decision.

Zhu Zi of the Manchu Dynasty, as long as it involves the war, there must be constant disputes in the court, and everyone is divided.

Wang Song proclaimed the two rivers, successively recovered most of Hedong and Taiyuan, and relieved the siege of the Daimyo's Mansion, the war in the court went smoothly, and the court seemed to be more jubilant and harmonious, but looking at the expressions of the ministers, it seemed that the court was defeated, and the country was about to be wiped out.

Wang Song played and wanted to lead his troops to the north, restore the four prefectures of Xin, Dai, Xian, and Lan, as well as the Lan army and the Baode army, and train together with the three states outside the river, and drive the Jurchens out of Yanmen Pass.

In other words, Wang Song wanted to lead the army north and fight with the Jurchen West Road army once and for all.

You must know that Wanyan Zonghan's Western Route Army includes more than half of the elite of the Jurchens, and the most elite of them is the Lou Room Army, which is under his command. Wang Song wanted to destroy the Western Route Army, his heart was so big, and Emperor Zhao Huan also pinched a cold sweat.

The courtiers had different opinions, and some scolded Wang Song for being bold and reckless, and taking the fortunes of the country as a child's play. Some people also say that Wang Song's soldiers are strong and strong, and his subordinates are so elite that they can give it a try.

"Since the first year of Jingkang, Wang Song has been invincible and invincible, which can be described as a high level of hard work. Now he is determined to recover the lost ground, and his loyalty is commendable. ”

Zhao Huan frowned slightly and said: "Now that Taiyuan has been restored, the Jin people have eroded Shaanxi, and it seems understandable to let Wang Song wave his troops north."

"Your Majesty, it is a good strategy for the prince to lead his army north. Wanyan Yinshu is already a bird with a frightened bow, and it is easy to restore the four states of Xin, Dai, Xian, and Lan, as well as the Lan army and the Baode army. The minister seconded. ”

Kaifeng Mansion Yin Li Gang stood up first.

Seeing Li Gang come out, and he supported Wang Song, Qin Hui immediately stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, the Jurchen West Road army is strong and strong, with more than 100,000 elites, and it is overwhelming. Wang Song wanted to transfer 40,000 people of the Hedong Loyal and Righteous Army to the north, and the court was defeated and in danger, if it was defeated, it was not yet known whether there would be a court in Wang Song's eyes. ”

All the ministers in the palace were shocked. What Qin Hui said seems to be exaggerated, but it is actually not unreasonable. For more than 170 years, the Great Song Dynasty has relied on the ancestral law of using literature to control martial arts.

Wan Qiao, the culprit who had built Yue Fei with Qin Hui in history, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Wang Song Xuan pacified the two rivers and founded a new army. The people only know that there is a loyal army but do not know that there is an official army, and they only know that there is Wang Song, but they do not know that there is a king. It is advisable for the imperial court to collect its military power and replace it with a backbone minister. ”

Wan Qiao's words made the ministers in the palace talk about it one after another. Let's not say whether Wan Qiao's words are true or false, Wang Song is in Lianghe, and he is afraid that the people will love him more than the king.

"Your Majesty, changing generals in battle is a taboo in the use of soldiers, and the minister thinks that it is absolutely impossible!"

Yuwen was taken aback. If this is the case, how can the leaderless Hedong Loyal and Righteous Army face the army of more than 100,000 tigers and wolves such as Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Lou.

He said with a straight face: "The ability of the prince to command the army is unique in the world." The Jurchen West Road army is all fierce and tyrannical, with elite soldiers, and the first in the world, and the loyal and righteous army led by Wang Song himself cannot resist. Has Your Majesty forgotten the suffering of the Jurchens besieging the city of Tokyo that day? ”

Zhao Huan was shocked. On that day, you want to die or live, and you don't want to live, and the torment in it is unspeakable!

What Yuwen said in the void is that even if you want to control Wang Song, you have to wait until he recovers the lost territory.

Li Gang clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, Wang Song has loyal ministers like Chen Dong and Ma Kuo, and it is really unnecessary for the crown prince Zhang Xianggong to proclaim Taiyuan and remove the ministers."

"I'm afraid that when the lost territory is recovered, Wang Song will be the lord of the world."

Qin Hui said excitedly: "If you go outside, you must first settle inside, don't you know that the martial arts are more powerful than the feudal town." Your Majesty, you still have to plan ahead and take precautions. ”

Zhao Huan frowned slightly, it seems that the two factions in the DPRK and China both want to control Wang Song, but the method of moderation is very large.

"Geng Xiang, what Wang Song played, how to deal with it?"

Seeing the emperor's eyes turned, Geng Nanzhong calculated in his heart to restrain Wang Song, since the ministers of the court had already spoken, he just needed to add fuel to the fire.

"Your Majesty, since Wang Song is in charge of the army alone, why not send the crown prince to the north with his officers to fill the post of supervising the army. Whether to send troops at that time, the crown prince and the ministers will praise the painting and coordinate the affairs of the army, and the prince can also concentrate and deal with the Jin people. ”

seems to be loyal words for the country and the people, listening to the ears of the ordinary generals in the court, everyone is frightened, and their faces have changed dramatically.

These Zhu Zi ministers in the DPRK and China are all civil ministers, and no one wants to see Wang Song's good looks. When these people arrived in the army, Wang Song was ever-changing, and I am afraid that he would not be able to show it.

If someone with a heart adds fuel to the fire and takes revenge with personal interests, it is a difficult question whether Wang Song can get out of the way......

Especially the Jurchen West Road army, the soldiers are wide, once the territory is opposed, these turbans are public and private......

Zhao Huan thought for a moment, nodded and said:

"The crown prince is now trained in the Shenwu army, and when he knows a little about the affairs in the army, he will go north with the ministers and sit in Taiyuan."

The ministers in the palace all nodded and talked softly.

Geng Nanzhong was extremely disappointed in his heart. Zhao Huan obviously didn't want to put pressure on Wang Song, and kept dragging the ministers to the north.

Wang Song was so simple in the emperor's heart, which made him even more jealous.

"Geng Xianggong knows that that Wufu is once again famous all over the world!"

"Qin Zhongcheng is referring to the war of the Daimyo's Mansion, and Wang Song has made great contributions, which can be regarded as living up to the emperor's grace. Qin Zhongcheng, you are a mediocrity. ”

In Geng Nanzhong's study, Geng Nanzhong, Qin Hui, Tang Ke, Zhang Shuye, and the newly promoted Taiyuan prefect Li Ruoshui, several people gathered together, sat on tea and talked about the disadvantages. Among several people, Geng Nanzhong is the highest, and the oldest is also the presiding officer of the previous political discussions.

"Geng Xiang, I miss you and me moral articles, full of economy, above this court, it is not as good as a martial artist, it is really morally degenerate, the world is declining, it is sad and lamentable."

Tang Ke's words immediately caused a sigh from Qin Hui next to him.

"Wang Song has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, and he is like a feudal town, if he does not divide power as soon as possible, I am afraid that the imperial court will be in danger of overthrowing the country. Li Shilang, no, Governor Li, I invite you to come here today, and it is precisely for Wang Song's business. ”

Everyone in the field, Geng Nanzhong and Wang Song have always been at odds, and they are bound to become water and fire, and they have openly torn their faces, and there is no possibility of reconciliation. With Geng Nanzhong's consistent style of retribution, jealousy and jealousy, not retaliating back, it is not in line with his personality.

In the imperial history, the personal grudges between Cheng Qin Hui and Wang Song were even worse, and they also represented the position of the sergeants and doctors of the court. The imperial court uses literature to control the military, Yan Du Wufu is in power, Wang Song is not only a very popular minister, but also has tens of thousands of heavy soldiers, Qin Hui, Tang Ke and others, naturally will not stand idly by.

On the side of the couch, you will not allow others to sleep soundly. How can the cheese that belongs to the scholars and doctors be divided by the martial arts!

Li Ruoshui, the new prefect of Taiyuan, who was invited to come, had no personal grudges with Wang Song. He himself is a clear stream, so he naturally won't catch a cold with Wang Song.

Li Ruoshui has his own concerns, the stormy Great Song Dynasty has finally had many happy events, and he also needs a martial artist like Wang Song to conquer the city and restore the old land.

Zhang Shuye is a favorite minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and he is a member of the Privy Council, although he is lower than Wang Song, he has the title of a scholar, and he is an upright minister.

"Wang Song has a heavy army, and he should indeed take his military power. With Wang Song's ability, he commanded 40,000 elite soldiers, I am afraid that he is invincible in the world, and the country is in his hands. ”

Li Ruoshui pondered: "The lower officials will go to Taiyuan Mansion to take office, and when the time comes, I will have a good talk with Wang Song, control the military power, and pay it to the imperial court, I believe that Wang Song will consider it."

Seeing Geng Nanzhong's eyes, Zhang Shuye also said loudly: "You don't need to worry, I, Zhang Shuye, are naturally thinking about the safety of the imperial court." Wang Song's military power must be attributed to the imperial court. You can rest assured. ”

As a close minister of the Son of Heaven and a doctor of Huanghuang, he naturally wants to put himself in the position of the king. Wang Song was in charge of the military alone, not only Qin Hui and Geng Nanzhong and others, but he was also worried.

More than half of the elite of the imperial court is in the hands of Wang Song alone, which is by no means a good thing for the imperial court and the king.

Everyone in the room was relieved and nodded in praise. Qin Hui said with a smile: "When Master Zhang says this, I can rest assured."

Geng Nanzhong also nodded. There is Zongze in Hebei, Zhang Shuye and Li Ruoshui in Hedong, and the grain and grass are constrained by the imperial court, and I am afraid that he Wang Song will turn to the sky.

"But ......"

Zhang Shuye continued: "Wang Song's military power must be slowly drawn, and it must not cause a commotion in the army, so as not to be used by the Jin."

"What Zhang Xianggong said is very true, and what the lower officials are worried about is also about this matter."

Li Ruoshui nodded and said: "In addition to Wang Song and his henchmen, the generals in the army should not be too much. If the changes are too great, it is inevitable that the morale of the army will fluctuate. Ladies and gentlemen, be careful. ”

Li Ruoshui and Zhang Shuye said goodbye and left, and only Geng Nanzhong, Tang Ke and Qin Hui were left in the room.

"Geng Xiang, what do you think?"

Tang Ke looked at Geng Nanzhong, who was sitting still as an old monk, and asked cautiously.

Although the official family is wary of Wang Song, they are still very fond of him, as evidenced by the delay in the appointment of the crown prince. The old man persuaded the official family several times, but he was repeatedly reprimanded, and his loyalty was against his ears. ”

Geng Nanzhong spoke eloquently, his face was calm, and he was loyal and patriotic, which made Qin Hui stunned.

"The old man is high-spirited and bright, and the officials admire him!"

Qin Hui pretended to be surprised and said: "Geng Xiang and the official family started with a slight difficulty, and the love is deep and righteous. The official family is also a disciple of Geng Xiang, why do they have today's worries, could it be that there is another hidden situation?"

When the Jin people besieged the city, Geng Nanzhong fled alone from the king, hooked up with Zhao Gou in Xiangzhou, and held hundreds of thousands of heavy troops to patrol and could not enter, causing the city of Tokyo to be destroyed. Under the same hardship, Wang Song led his troops into Beijing, fought several bloody battles, and rescued the city of Tokyo from the generals.

One is to fly alone when disaster comes, and the other is to send charcoal in the snow and never give up. Zhao Huan did not belittle Geng Nanzhong, he was already benevolent and righteous.

"Geng Xiang is too lonely, in the hearts of the officials, Wang Song's ability, heaven and earth, omnipotent. We are not as far away as Wang Song. ”

"Tang Xianggong, don't be presumptuous. Wang Song has a heavy army in his hand, and these words have reached his mouth, in case it causes a mutiny in the army, will it not miss the important affairs of the imperial court!"

The two sang and harmonized, but they complemented each other, and the maids next to them felt numb and turned their heads slightly.

Qin Hui's eyes turned and he said in a low voice: "The two ministers don't have to worry. The fierce generals around Wang Song are all bandits and strongmen on the rivers and lakes, as well as Fan people and Khitans. The two of them are worry-free. ”

Geng Nanzhong's eyes opened, pondered for a moment, and said softly: "I recommend Zhang Jun as the supervisor of the Hedong Loyal and Righteous Army, and let him work with Qin Xianggong to help Wang Song." ”

It is not easy to live in Beijing, especially a low-level military attache like Zhang Jun. He threw himself into Qin Hui and got acquainted with Geng Nanzhong and Tang Ke, so naturally Geng Nanzhong and Qin Hui were the only ones who looked forward.

Qin Hui bowed and said, "Geng Xiang can rest assured!" When the lower officials arrive in Hedong, they must be conscientious and conscientious, serve the country and the people, and not disappoint the court and officials! ”

The three of them looked at each other and laughed.
