Wang picked up the teacup and drank water, and did not immediately answer You Mingyuan's question.

You Mingyuan's face was angry, he slapped the table again, and asked, "Answer the old man." ”

Wang drank tea and said unhurriedly: "Master, you want to set up a banquet for Li Xun to catch the wind, I will send someone to Li's house in advance to inform you, what's wrong?" ”

You Mingyuan said angrily: "You have notified you like this? Who do you think Li Xun is, you can be called by you to come and go at once, you are so arrogant and arrogant, it will only make others hate you even more. ”

Wang's face was gloomy, he put down the teacup heavily, and said coldly: "What's so great about him Li Xun, it's not that he relies on a woman to get on the throne, without her strong help, he Li Xun is still a mud leg, I won't even look at him, I really don't know why you all value him so much." ”

You Mingyuan sneered: "You are a woman, what do you know?" The times create heroes, without his own ability and efforts, just relying on the help of others, he Li Xun can get to this point? ”

Wang stood up and said disdainfully: "It's a good thing to say, it's not to tie up our family, no matter how powerful he Li Xun is, he has to call my mother-in-law respectfully to me, I have suppressed him in this life." ”

After saying this, Wang shook off his robe and left with a proud expression.

You Mingyuan strained his face and looked at the back of Wang's departure, with an unconcealed boredom in his eyes.

For the Wang family, You Mingyuan has always disliked it very much, but there is no way, the words of the matchmaker of his parents, his marriage with the Wang family is not just a matter of the two of them, but involves two families, the Wang family is a family in Hebei, which has been inherited for hundreds of years, which is longer than the You family.

Hebei Wang's family, this family comes out to be an official There are very few, almost no officialdom, and rarely walk around in the Central Plains, and the major families rarely have contacts, it seems that the reputation is not obvious, but the people who really know the details know that this family is not simple, especially with the five major feudal towns in Hebei, it is very closely related, since Wuzong to the present nearly a hundred years, Hebei Wang has done the opposite, taking the initiative to approach the local feudal towns, seeking marriage, nearly a hundred years and several generations have accumulated, and now the five major feudal towns of Hebei, Among them, they all have a very deep imprint of the Wang family, such as Li Conggu, the envoy of the Weizhou Festival, and Chen Qingqing, the envoy of the Hengzhou Festival, the wives of the two of them, are from the Wang family, and the other three feudal forces have also been married to the Wang family for several generations.

The reason why the reputation of Hebei Wang's family is not obvious in the world is only because it is low-key, very low-key, which is very different from most other wealthy families.

After the death of Wuzong, the Jin Dynasty flourished and declined, and the national strength declined step by step, and in the first dynasty of Emperor Wuzong, the power of Hebei feudal towns was strong again, expanding from three feudal towns to five, and the two new feudal towns immediately wrote to Xizong, hoping to get the official appointment of the imperial court, so as to justify the name.

In fact, after the succession of Emperor Xizong, the imperial court has begun to suppress the power of the Hebei feudal town, Hebei once again returned to the situation before Wuzong, separating self-control, although there is no clear rebellion against the imperial court, but that is only maintained on the face, in fact, dozens of states in Hebei have been basically independent of the imperial court, their own system, taxes and the appointment of officials, are all local feudal towns themselves, the imperial court has been unable to intervene.

The situation in Hebei has taken shape, and it cannot be solved simply by going back and forth, if the Emperor is smart, he should agree to their request, temporarily win over and appease them, provoke their relations, and then find an opportunity to solve the problem in Hebei.

But the Emperor made the worst choice.

In the first dynasty, although the Jin Dynasty has declined, but Wuzong left some foundations, the elite of the forbidden army is more than 300,000, and the army is still strong, it is precisely because of this that Xizong is unwilling to make a compromise with the Hebei domain, in the face of the request of the Hebei domain, Xuzong categorically refused, and sent troops to send generals, Chen Bing 200,000 troops in Hedong, the intention is already obvious, that is, to prepare to forcibly solve the Hebei secession forces by force.

For the move of the Emperor, the response of the five major feudal towns in Hebei was more intense, immediately spread the book to the world, scolded the Emperor of the Emperor is a faint monarch, and then called the king self-reliance, the five kings united, with an army of 150,000, undeclared war, raided Hedong, the forbidden army was defeated, and took the important town of Jinyang in Hedong in one fell swoop, and then waved the army south, directly to the capital Fengjing, all the way, the Jin army was defeated and retreated, when the rebels of the five kings were the deepest, hundreds of thousands of troops, less than two hundred miles away from Fengjing, the world shook.

In the face of such a scene, Xi Zong was greatly panicked, and had the intention of fleeing Fengjing, at the critical moment, the right minister at that time, You Zhisheng, that is, You Mingyuan's great-grandfather, tried his best to dissuade Xi Zong from staying, You Zhisheng was the head of a hundred officials, and asked himself to quell the rebellion of the governor, leading the army to fight, and was allowed, and then, You Zhisheng was able to override the public opinion, and elected Huang Zhan, a famous general in the world who was over 70 years old and had a bad relationship with Xi Zong, and had been idle, served as the deputy general of the counterinsurgency, and the actual commander-in-chief.

Right Prime Minister You Zhisheng sat on the front line, and Huang Zhan's comeback, which immediately boosted the morale of the whole army.

Huang Zhan persuaded You Zhisheng to let him defend Fengcheng, the last barrier of Fengjing, with 30,000 forbidden troops to attract the attention of the rebels, while Huang Zhan himself led another 30,000 forbidden troops to detour his back and cut off their food and grass.

Huang Zhan's strategy was extremely successful, especially Zhisheng came to the front line as the right minister, guarding Fengcheng, which greatly stimulated the morale of the 30,000 forbidden troops defending the city, the rebels besieged Fengcheng, more than 40 days can not be taken, and kept pumping troops from the rear to supplement the front-line troops, Huang Zhan finally seized the opportunity to sneak attack Jinyang, succeeded in one fell swoop, burned all the logistics grain and grass of the rebels, the rebels were in chaos, the whole line retreated, and the crisis in Fengjing was solved.

Subsequently, Huang Zhan led the army to counterattack, and it took less than five days to force all the rebels out of Hedong.

Emperor Xizong then summoned and ordered Huang Zhan to invade Hebei and take advantage of the situation to eliminate the five major feudal towns in Hebei, but was strongly opposed by Huang Zhan, and Emperor Xizong summoned several times, but Huang Zhan did not obey, and Emperor Xizong was furious, dismissed Huang Zhan's military power, reappointed the main general, and then attacked Hebei.

Huang Zhan persuaded the Emperor that there were strong enemies outside, natural disasters inside, and the five major feudal towns in Hebei were strong, and the imperial court could not be pacified in a short period of time, and the overall situation of the world would definitely change.

Xizong did not listen to good advice and insisted on attacking Hebei by force, but the two sides fell into a bitter battle, fought for three whole years, and the soldiers were exhausted and financially impoverished, and finally became a stalemate.

At this time, Huang Zhan's prophecy was quickly confirmed, seeing that the Jin Dynasty was plunged into civil strife and had no time to take care of anything else, Tubo and the Hu tribe jointly sent troops to attack Longyou, and the Dashi Empire, which occupied the Western Regions, was also ready to move.

Longyou once fell, countless Han people were slaughtered, under the joint opposition of all the officials of the government and the opposition, Xizong could only look up to the sky and sigh, ordered all the front-line troops to retreat to Hedong, and then sent envoys to Hebei, intending to make peace.
