Seeing that the topic turned back again, Ma Kuo also brought up the spirit and continued.

"Xianggong, as Xiaguan just said, Wang Lin, the governor of Zhaozhou, tyrannically killed and killed the people, but he was as timid as a mouse, and never dared to go out of the city to fight against the Jin people."

Ma Kuo continued: "Let's ask how to defend the city and how the people can be preserved with such a Shangguan. It is advisable to make plans as early as possible, otherwise there will be chaos in the city of Zhaozhou sooner or later!"

Wang Song nodded slightly. He really couldn't remember if there was such a tyrannical and murderous governor in history. However, according to Ma Kuo's description of this person, I am afraid that he is another incorruptible and shameless person.

He will kill the poor and helpless, what else can he not do?

"Ma Xuanzan, what is the situation in Handan and Wu'an County?"

Wang Song continued to ask, motioning for Ma Kuo to sit down.

These two places are closest to Guzhen, and the rich land of Handan also makes him even more worried.

Ma Kuo breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Handan and Wu'an counties are very cooperative. The two counties are quite wealthy, and there is some surplus food. After receiving the order of the prime minister, both counties said that they would do it immediately. The lower official told them that the Xiang Guild would go to check on them in the next two days, and there would be no problem!"

Wang Song nodded and asked, "Ma Xuanzan, with your plan, how should this official deal with this governor of Zhaozhou?"

Although he is the Xuanfu envoy of Lianghe and Shaanxi, he has no real power to dispose of a powerful and powerful governor. Fortunately, he still holds the title of Tongzhiyuan, and now he can only sell dog meat with a sheep's head, and he has to think of a way from the military side.

"Xianggong, now the plan is to replace this dog official as soon as possible, and send him to guard the city of Zhaozhou."

Ma Kuo bowed and said: "Otherwise, once the Jurchens make a comeback and the city of Zhaozhou is lost, I am afraid that it will be decided as soon as possible!"

"Ma Xuanzan, according to what you say, we have to meet the governor of this state."

Wang Song said in a deep voice: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, tomorrow we will go to see the refugees in Wu'an and Handan City, as well as the city defense situation." Then I will go to the city of Zhaozhou, and I will meet this dog official and kill his majesty!"

Wu'an is a wealthy place, Handan and Zhaozhou are both important military places, and there are many refugees in the two places, so naturally if they are checked one by one, lest local officials be duplicitous, shirk in every possible way, and only do superficial work.

"Xianggong, these ministers of the court, are accustomed to pointing to deer as horses, and regard military affairs as child's play, and Xianggong must not take it to heart."

Ma Kuo said in a deep voice: "I am not guilty, these people are intertwined in the power of the DPRK and China, and it is not easy to do things well, Xianggong still has to look forward, otherwise it will only disturb mehrism."

Wang Song nodded yes. However, these people are so arrogant, those bigwigs in the court must have contributed a lot, without them to help the trouble, how could Zhang Jun and these people have such courage.

"Ma Xuanzan, who was that black-faced civil official just now, is it Zhang Jun's subordinate?"

Looking back now, after talking for a long time, I still don't know who the black-faced civil official is.

"Xianggong, this person's name is Wan Qiao, and now he is the editor of the Privy Council, speaking of which, he is still a subordinate of Xianggong."

Wang Song couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then shook his head. Unexpectedly, he left the capital, and the personnel of the Privy Council had undergone such a big change.

This Wan Qiao is so familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized that this Wan Qian was not Qin Hui's eagle dog in history!

This thief ran up and down for Qin Hui and framed Yue Fei, and his statue was together with Qin Hui and his wife and Zhang Jun, and for thousands of years, he has been kneeling in front of Yue Fei's tomb.

There is always someone who wants to kill this dog thief.

Wang Song snorted coldly, remembered something, and couldn't help but open his mouth to ask.

"Zhang Jun and this Privy Council editor, they have been swaggering in the army, and they have their hands on it, why hasn't anyone reported this matter to me?"

"This ......, the lower officials really don't know."

Ma Kuo's face turned red, his eyes flickered, and his expression was quite unnatural.

Wang Haoran couldn't help frowning.

Since leaving the city of Tokyo, it seems that the sky has changed, and many affairs in the army seem to have been out of his control, and he naturally does not feel sorry for many officers, but it seems that not everyone is dead set on him.

He still underestimated the influence and control of this imperial power on the people for thousands of years.

Seeing Ma Kuo's appearance, Wang Song couldn't help blurting out.

"Ma Xuanzan, you have something to say, don't spit out!"

"Xianggong, since entering Tokyo City, Ma Wu went to the front of the palace, he was the defeated army of Tokyo City, and he had to take refuge in Xianggong. As for Yang Zhi, he followed Chong Yan to Shaanxi and returned to the Western Army. ”

Ma Kuo had no choice but to tell the truth.

"These two left, after several major battles, the military police in the army were also lost, and the prime minister was busy recruiting and training troops all day long, and he didn't bother to care about these things. Although the lower official told the brothers of the Hedong Loyal and Righteous Army, but in this Hebei, the commander is Yue Fei, and the lower official does not dare to stretch his hand too long, so as not to embarrass the minister......"

Wang Song couldn't help but be surprised, could it be that in addition to the Hebei Loyal and Righteous Army, the imperial court has also begun to tentacle the Hedong Loyal and Righteous Army?

He is a martial artist and has tens of thousands of soldiers, which really makes the ministers of the court, including the king, restless, is this his own misfortune or the sorrow of the Great Song Dynasty?

He was a little disheartened, feeling that what he was doing was meaningless. The city of Tokyo is not broken, and the Great Song Dynasty court turned the danger into a disaster, is it just a farce?

His heart was gloomy, and he waved his hand and said, "That's it, that's it, it's okay."

Ma Kuo stood up and said goodbye, and said tentatively: "Xianggong, do you want to ...... tomorrow's trip to Zhaozhou?"

"It is a matter of life and death for thousands of people, and the trip to the city of Zhaozhou is still the same."

Wang Song wanted to push it, but after all, he couldn't let go of those innocent people, and he couldn't be ruthless.

Seeing Ma Kuan coming out, Yang Zaixing stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Ma Xuanzan, it seems that Xianggong is not very interested, is there something wrong?"

Ma Kuo shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The golden people are not extinguished, internal and external troubles, put it on you, can you feel at ease?"

Yang Zaixing was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily in a low voice: "Ma Xuanzan, if you say something, the villain will immediately go and kill these turbans, and the troubles of the Xianggong will be relieved." Come one, let's kill one, come ten, let's kill five pairs. If this loyal army is not a minister, what is it called the loyal army, just call it the pig-headed army! It's a big deal, let's set up another portal and ...... well."

In his words, the sadness that could not be concealed, Ma Kuo was shocked, looked around, and quickly stopped Yang Zaixing and didn't let him go on.

"Brother Yang, you are crazy, how can you say such a thing!"

Ma Kuo changed his color and roared in a low voice: "Xiang Gong is now in a constraint, if you do this, Xiang Gong may be struggling in the future, and the military power will be lost, and at that time, you and I will be sinners of the loyal army!"

Yang Zaixing's face was pale, and he squatted on the ground, sulking.

"Ma Xuanzan, I won't tell you, I have seen this Song Dynasty court thoroughly, as long as the country is not destroyed, none of these people in the court, including the official family, take this country and the people to heart. Except for the prince Wang, no one can carry this burden! ”

He stood up and said in a low voice: "Ma Xuanzan, if you say what is in your heart, we can't embrace the prince and the court, and the court is not better than the court that follows this black miasma?"

"You!"

After making sure that there was no one around, Ma Kuocai shook his head and sighed in a low voice: "Brother Yang, why do you always tell the truth!" The affairs of the court, how can it be as simple as you think!"

"It's so complicated!"

Yang Zaixing said coldly: "As long as Wang Xianggong raises his banner, with the ability of Xianggong and the method of military training, tens of thousands of elites under his command can completely compete with the Bird Imperial Court." I don't believe it, the heroes of these two rivers, who don't follow, who dares to disobey!"

Ma Da was shocked, and persuaded repeatedly: "Brother Yang, you must not say this nonsense, so as not to fall into the truth and be unfavorable to the public!"

"It's better to do it the other way around!"

Yang Zaixing continued to talk endlessly, and the excitement on his face was full of excitement.

"Ma Xuanzan, do you think it's only me like this in my heart?"

Yang Zaixing pointed in the direction of the west and said in a low voice: "Then Dong Ping, Zhang Heng, Niu Gao, Deng Shixiong, and those soldiers of the Hedong Loyal and Righteous Army, many of them are unwilling. The closer the prince and the court came closer, the more uneasy the brothers became. If Xianggong is like this, within two years, the loyal army should be dispersed!"

"You ......"

Ma Kuo's face was pale, but he couldn't speak.

"Xianggong didn't know why, he handed over this Hebei loyal army to an unknown Yue Fei, causing himself to be constrained everywhere. Looking at those Xu Qing, Wang Gui, Chen Guang and others, they are just people in the market, and they have no loyalty at all. Xianggong is such a wise person, but he does such a stupid trick, why don't you persuade Ma Xuanzan?"

Yang Zaixing shook his head again and again, seemingly regretful.

Ma Kuo also shook his head and sighed. Wang Song was benevolent to Yue Fei and others, but he didn't know why? Could it be that this Yue Fei really has the ability to go through the heavens and latitudes, which makes Wang Song value it?

"Our father-in-law, who is sincere, but he doesn't know that people's hearts are sinister, and he doesn't think about himself. At that time, he will need your brothers to help him. ”

Ma Kuo shook his head and left, Yang Zaixing sighed repeatedly, Wang Song heard it clearly in the camp, and he was also indignant.

He opened Zhao Duofu's letter in front of the lamp, and the girl's tenderness and sweetness warmed his chest, and all the news in the capital was also in his eyes.

Not surprisingly, Li Gang returned to the center and served as the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture. The ministers in the court are headed by Geng Nanzhong, and the lord and faction are in an uproar for a while, and with this Qingliu main war minister, at least he can restrain Geng Nanzhong and his ilk, which is also the art of balancing the court.

Emperor Zhao Ji has gained a large space for activities, it seems that with the consolidation of Zhao Huan's throne and the eradication of Zhao Ji's henchmen, Zhao Huan no longer regards his father as his political enemy.

Wang Song couldn't help but meditate. Zhao Jizhi turned the clouds and rained, ruled the ministers, and was much stronger than his son in terms of political skills. And Zhao Ji can become more and more complacent, I am afraid that in this court, someone has already fanned Zhao Huan's ears.

I don't know if for Zhao Huan, Zhao Ji's re-emergence from the mountain is a blessing or a curse, but Wang Song still smelled such an ominous smell from Zhao Duofu's letter.

There is instability in the court, undercurrents surging, Jurchens outside, internal and external troubles, plus all kinds of trivial matters, all kinds of constraints, Wang Song can't help but have a splitting headache.

This Great Song Dynasty world is really full of crises and makes people feel uneasy.
