In mid-July, the Great Demon King was half cool for the second time since his debut. Take a special train from Beijing back to Bianjing.

The reason why I say Banliang is because Da Yan's official rank has risen to the top of the Great Song Dynasty. This is very awesome, the five prime ministers who are now walking in Zhongtang, Fu Bi, Han Jiang, Han Qi, Wang Anshi, Ouyang Xiu, none of them have the highest official ranks.

Ouyang Xiu, who has the highest official rank, has a special rank, but he is also half a level lower than Kaifu Yi and the three divisions.

In addition, Wang Yan added the crown prince and the prince, which was an expedient measure under Zhao Zhen's last resort.

Lao Zhao is psychologically clear, and identifying Zhao Zongshi is equivalent to identifying Han Qi, the first assistant in the future. For this reason, Lao Zhao didn't want to change it, but tried his best to give Wang Yan and Zhao Zongshi the opportunity to communicate and reach a consensus, so that the conflict would not be fierce in the future.

What satisfied Zhao Zhen the most was that Wang Yan hardly had any contact with the clan. On the surface, he and Zhao Zongshi are buddies, but they always have limited interaction. These Zhao Zhen knew in his heart that it would be easy to fool anyone with Wang Yan's ability to deceive people, but he didn't do it.

This will make Zhao Zhen trust Wang Yan very much, but he is also worried about the child's future political future.

These were summarized by Wang Yan as semi-cool. How far Wang Yan can go in the future depends on how to do this prince and master now?

At the same time, this is equivalent to giving Wang Yan a chance to ease up with Sima Guangdang.

Because Lü Gongshu is Sima Guang's person, Wang Yan served as the crown prince and teacher, and theoretically began to communicate with Lü Gongshu and the empress.

This is Lao Zhao's painstaking efforts to give Wang Yan an opportunity for his political future. Bao Zheng's death made Lao Zhao realize that the destiny of heaven could not be violated, his time was short, and the queen was in good health for a long time. According to the rules and system of the Great Song Dynasty, it will soon enter the state of Empress Dowager Cao's "curtain and listening to politics".

This is the only balancing strategy that Lao Zhao can adopt to limit all parties.

After Empress Cao listened to the government, in view of her requirements have always been strange and she doesn't like Zhao Zongshi very much, she will inevitably clash fiercely with Zhao Zongshi's first assistant Han Qi. That will mess up the politics of the Great Song Dynasty, and it depends on Wang Yan's buffering effect.

Saying that, these are really Zhao Zhen's personal experience, when Zhao Zhen was young and vigorous, he was eager to be in power, and it was Pang Ji who played the role of Han Qi, protecting Lao Zhao and the Empress Dowager.

Whether these processes can be buffered depends on the degree of harmony between Wang Yan and the queen, Sima Guang, and Lu Gongshu during the period when Wang Yan served as the crown prince and prince.

This is the meaning of Lao Zhao's current position as the crown prince and prince.

This is not a political officer, but it is very important at this time. Even to a certain extent, Wang Yan is still the leader of Empress Cao, Lu Gongshu and others.

In this regard, the Great Song Dynasty really has a system. Lu Gongshu Sima Guang is Zhao Zongshi's teacher, and Empress Cao is Zhao Zongshi's "teacher and mother". Before the prince and the teacher, they made their own "teaching plan". However, after the crown prince and the prince appointed by the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, they also engaged in specific "teaching", but the route was determined by Wang Yan.

It is equivalent to Wang Yan being the principal in the "Prince Academy", and the teaching of school teachers must of course be carried out in accordance with Wang Yan's policy. Otherwise, Wang Yan could expel them and block their qualifications to educate the crown prince. This is Wang Yan's authority.

Khan, in his position to seek his own government, Wang Yan has never liked to do these things, but now he wants to intervene.

These are not what Wang Yan is most worried about, the prince is just like that, Xiao Zhao's environment and thinking mode have been stereotyped, and he has entered a state of "easy to change his nature and difficult to change", it is not worth investing energy to "twist" him, in fact, it is impossible to twist it, he is not crooked, but he is a little conservative. Everything that goes from then on will be political deals and compromises of interests, and that's it.

Wang Yan's biggest concern is in the south.

So looking at the scenery along the way outside the window in the train carriage, Wang Yan said: "Zhanzhao." ”

"The end will be." Zhan Zhao responded immediately.

"What information do you have about Yang Huaiyu and Lao Gou in the south recently? Is it about Liu Ningjing, the remnant of Maitreya, and the Manichaeans? Wang Yan muttered.

Zhan Zhao didn't care too much, and he didn't know why the Great Demon King was obsessed with this matter? Shaking his head slightly: "There was some news a while ago, but recently it has been very calm, and the last general has not received a report for a long time." ”

"Do you believe me?" Wang Yan suddenly asked.

Zhan Zhao said with some embarrassment: "To be honest, I will believe you in most issues." ”

Wang Yan said: "Spicy, let me tell you, there are several devils who are absorbing Da Song and planning to take away the soul, do you believe it?" ”

Zhan Zhao couldn't help frowning, thought for a while, and said, "This ...... Would you like to explain it? ”

Wang Yan shook his head and said: "I can't say, in short, there are bad signals that are starting to appear, but I can't confirm it for the time being." It's like the feeling before the accident in Shuzhou at that time, which makes people feel very calm. ”

Zhan Zhao was flustered again, frankly saying that the Great Demon King was very obscene, but in this blink of an eye, Zhan Zhao found that he had been working with him for so long, and he was rarely wrong?

"Could it be ......" Zhanzhao didn't know how to continue.

Wang Yan sighed and looked out the window: "Some things always have to be done, and the quieter the south, the more inappropriate." Now there are more and more things that are beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty on the surface, the whole country is inflated, and they are all shouting about the rise of great powers, and this good situation makes me have the illusion in a trance, like the rhythm of the coal warrant market crash that year, claiming to rise to the sky. ”

Zhan Zhao said unconsciously: "How to behave specifically?" ”

Wang Yan said: "Before, the Imperial City Division was very concerned about the situation of the Southern Maitreya Sect Manichaeism, and now it seems that the hidden danger has been lifted?" That's certainly a positive. I roared in Suzhou Port, slapped the tiger's mouth, and the tiger did not fight back after entering Bianjing, and a weak posture that did not dare to speak up, so I was intoxicated with the joy of 'the rise of the Song State and the exclamation of the invincible Liao State from the people to the imperial court. Japan's trade is progressing well. After the Suzhou Port incident, the Jurchens seemed to have been instigated once, and they hardly showed up in the Yellow Sea, and the Song Navy could not find any trace of them. The originally arrogant Koreans seemed to have been frightened by the Suzhou Port incident and lowered their profile and were no longer arrogant. ”

"In this good situation, only the weak Jiaozhi people jumped up, and the so-called 'invasion of the Great Song Dynasty' did not lead to it. The Great Song Dynasty, which is waiting for me to raise the blood of the country, divides the troops to crusade against the southwest in four ways. ”

At this point, Wang Yan knocked on the table and said, "Zhanzhao, tell me, is the situation really so good?" Isn't this a situation from a macro point of view, isn't it waiting for the military resources of our Great Song Dynasty to concentrate on the military resources of the southwest and throw them into the quagmire of Guangxi, and then attack together? ”

Zhanzhao also felt that it was inappropriate, but it was a little vague where it was wrong.

Wang Yan continued: "The finances have doubled, so the court has become a gentleman. My father and Han Qi began to deploy troops in Guangdong, Guangxi, Jinghu South Road, and Chengdu Fu Road 4 Road, preparing to pass through the southwest. In addition to killing chickens with a knife, this also greatly weakened the ability of the Great Song Dynasty to intervene in the northwest when something happened. If I were Zororan, as long as someone cooperated, I would definitely take advantage of this opportunity. ”

"In addition to frightening the loyal ally Dali, such a move will also lead to a rebellion of the remnants of the Maitreya Sect in the southeast, completely restricting the resources of Huaixi, Jiangnan Road, Fujian Road, Liangzhejiang Road and other southeast five roads."

Wang Yan said lightly: "At this point, it can basically be announced that all the available resources in the south of the Great Song Dynasty have been trapped?" ”

"Coupled with the traditional rules of the Great Song Dynasty, more than 200,000 troops will not leave Gyeonggi under non-extreme circumstances. At this point, I can use simple arithmetic to conclude that if everything happens at the same time, the forbidden army deployed in the entire north is less than 400,000, and because our Great Song and Western Xia are feuding, nearly half of the military strength is now concentrated in the northwest. Hebei two roads plus Hedong Road, full of 230,000 forbidden troops. Remember that there is only one Funing army, and if the Western Xia side suddenly catches fire, the imperial court will even send the Hedong Forbidden Army to the west to deploy. At this time, if the Liao State suddenly becomes difficult, Zhanzhao, do you think that according to the quality of the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, the more than 100,000 or 200,000 forbidden troops on the two roads of Hebei can resist the wave of hundreds of thousands of iron cavalry in the Liao State? ”

Hearing this, Zhanzhao took a deep breath, the scale of the Liaoguo Iron Ride was really no joke. Unless the forbidden troops on the two roads in Hebei are all of the quality of the Funing army, and all of them are equipped with flintlock pistols and heavy artillery equipment, they can withstand such a wave. Otherwise, not to mention the defense line of Hejian Mansion, even the Daimyo's Mansion would not be able to hold it.

But Zhan Zhao said unwillingly: "It sounds reasonable, if the situation is publicized, the Liao State does have such strength." But why do you think he will act? ”

Wang Yan said: "Because he is Liao, not you Zhanzhao." Believe me, war doesn't need a reason. As a robber, as long as he is sure that he can beat you, and you have money, even if there is a poor inspection post three miles away, the robber will definitely rob you. What's more, at the national level, I can't find international police to ask for help. Isn't that easy? ”

Zhanzhao also scratched his head in this regard, as far as Zhanzhao's criminal experience is concerned, this is true, as long as he is targeted by the robbers and the robbers are sure to win, there is a high probability that there will be murder and overselling.

"Okay, there is some truth, but what do you want me to do? What can I do? Zhanzhao tried to ask.

"I need you to take Cao Qing to the south. Take care of some shady things for me. Wang Yan said amazingly, "At the critical moment, Yang Dasha and the old dog can't bear it." ”

"This ......" Zhan Zhao couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and compromised: "Why don't you find the imperial court to coordinate first?" Looking for more support? ”

Wang Yan shook his head and said, "There is no so-called support, you and Cao Qing are support, and you still expect others to support?" This matter must not be found in the imperial court, because it faces three troubles. One, I am cold during this period, and my deployment of these things will be regarded as sensitive, so that they will misunderstand that I am going to do something after I fall off the horse. Second, although Fu Bi is more fond of this kind of thing, but now he says that it doesn't count, and now they are prejudiced against me, but any proposal I will encounter resistance, this is politics. Third, even if this deployment is finally approved, it will take too long, and there is a great hidden danger of revealing the news in advance. Referring to what I saw and heard in Western Xia, it is certain that there are spies in Bianjing, and they have even infiltrated the imperial city. I still suspect that the state of 'madness' that appeared in the official family at that time was artificial. The official family always stays in the Shangqing Palace, which is actually my private advice. ”

"The last general...... The last general ......"

Zhanzhao always hesitated, because it was definitely not in order.

Because of the wrong rules, the big demon king couldn't ask Lao Liao to go out of the mountain to do things this time, and Lao Liao was Wang Anshi's person. That's why he assigned Cao Qing, but what happened when he arrested Li Fugui in Funing County and rescued the Empress Dowager Wuqiang in Western Xia really made Zhanzhao fed up with women's urine, except for the eldest mother's more domineering side leakage, the girls are really not suitable for the battlefield.

Wang Yan said: "Copy and post my words when I was in the Daimyo's Mansion, I have done so much for the Great Song Dynasty and sacrificed so much. Can't you Zhanzhao sacrifice the 'rules' for me? ”

"Yes." Zhan Zhao nodded after thinking about it: "But Cao Qing is not obscene enough to do things." I asked Bai Yutang to go to the south with me to do this vote. ”

I'm @#¥

The Great Demon King couldn't help but have a black line on his face: "Are you arrogant, she's a mother." What the hell are you up to? ”

"The last general's idea is that if you cooperate with you, you will usually be cheated. Two, one, unless you are willing to send the mother of your two children, it is enough to prove that it is not a fool but a serious one. Suppose something unfortunately happens, Cao Qing and I will be given up by you with your urine, and you have done this kind of thing more than once. But with Bai Yutang here, you will come out and resist like a man, isn't it? "Zhan Zhao's words are conclusive.

"......" has been helpless to get along for more than ten years, and he is really not stupid, and what he says is also very objective.

Zhan Zhao said: "The last reason, Bai Yutang dares to love and dare to be ruthless, and he dares to fight a tough battle if he is principled." As a teammate, she will be much more qualified than Cao Qing, Cao Qing's urine will really be powerless to complain, only your taste can accept her. ”

"Okay, it's a big deal, even if you want to borrow my wife. I admit it. "The Great Demon King and the Big Cat have reached a consensus on this.

In principle, Zhanzhao Bai Yutang is the support of the south, and the two commandos will confirm some things, and then start to carry out targeted killings of these **. in order to control or delay the situation.

According to the urine nature of the Great Demon King, there is no need to confirm it, just apply Wen Yanbo's characterization of the terrorist attack on the Maitreya Sect in Beizhou back then, and directly behead him. Just like the politicians of the Thief Eagle characterize Ben**, the Delta team members do not need to determine the facts of the case, they can be killed unconditionally when they meet, and they do not hesitate to kill wrongly, and they do not need to go to the military court to pay.

But helplessly, Zhanzhao has his own set of rules, it would be good if he could go in the end, and it was impossible to expect him to kill people without confirming it......
