Prime Minister Cai Jing wrote a letter, saying that officials from dozens of states and counties in the southeast had already united in supporting King Jing Zhao Qi as emperor, and persuaded Yang Yanqing to ask the two to put state affairs first.

The mountains on both sides of Yanmen Pass are towering into the clouds, and Zhe Keqiu read the letter several times in the skylight, and his face was quite hesitant. Wei Chengji, the envoy of the Xijing camp, did not dare to retreat without his permission, so he could only stand respectfully and wait. The first emperor was interested in Zhao Qi, the third prince, and he had the heart of Yi Chu, which was something that the old ministers knew. Not only did he take great pains to deploy Cao Di's eldest daughter to marry King Jing in Xijing, but also summoned Yang Yanqing and Zhe Keqiu to such a famous town, the monarch and the ministers also had a faint meaning of mutual trust.

The Xijing camp and the Hedong camp combined, holding nearly 300,000 elite soldiers. However, the hearts of the people in the world have been in the Song Dynasty for a long time, not only will the scholars not accept the strong soldiers and horses to establish themselves as the Son of Heaven, even if Cao Yang folds the three generals, the power of the world is extremely rich, and he can't do this kind of ruined thing. Therefore, there is no contradiction to Zhao Qi's succession to the unification, but it feels logical. The Zheyang family will not follow Zhao Qi and Cao Di to rebel and seize the throne, but the situation is like this, so they might as well push the boat with the water.

What is quite hesitant to ask for is Prime Minister Cai Jing's strategy of razing and razing. The Mobei Erbo tribe and Yang Yanqing fought fiercely in Yunzhou. However, Cai Jing suggested that Yang Yanqing give up Yunzhou and rely on the mountains and rivers in Hedong to defend the long-standing Yanmen Pass. In this way, the Hedong Army could free up its forces to go south, and work together with the Xijing camp and the southeast camp to drive the Liao army out of the Central Plains and recover Bianliang. That's what matters now. The Murbo Khan was only used by Yelu Dashi to contain the forces in Hedong, and although he was in the name of the northwest envoy of the Liao State, the Urb tribe was actually only a vassal of the Liao State. All the Mlbo tribe coveted was the land and wealth of Kyushu behind the mountains. If there is an opportunity to negotiate peace, Erb Khan will never consume his own strength to solve the main force of the Hedong camp for the Liao State. Therefore, in order to take into account the overall situation, the Hedong camp should focus on harmony with the Mobei Erbo tribe, supplemented by defense. Not only that, if possible, you can also use gold silk money and grain as bait to provoke the Murbo tribe to fight with the Liao State, and stick a knife in the back of Yelu Dashi. In this way, it would be much easier for the Song army to recover Henan and Hebei.

Zhe Keqiu pondered for a long time, and finally folded the letter, and said in a deep voice: "Let me repair the book and discuss this matter with Yang Jieshuai." He paused for a moment, and then said, "If there is no accident, the upper table in Hedong will soon arrive in Luoyang." Wei Chengji happily said yes, and was about to retire, so he asked casually, "Looking at the tone in Cai Xiang's letter, it seems that he is about to reuse, right?" ”

Wei Chengji was stunned for a moment, and then replied respectfully: "The new emperor has issued an edict to appoint Lord Cai Jing as the prime minister and the crown prince, Lord Li Bangyan as the governor and the scholar of the Guanwen Palace, Cao Jieshuai as the privy envoy and the left servant, and Lord Liu Yanqing as the privy deputy envoy and the secretary of the military department. ”

Seeing that he didn't dare to hide it at all, he nodded with satisfaction, plus Yang Yanqing was the privy deputy envoy and the young master of the crown prince, except for the courtier Tong Guan who saw the wind and made the rudder, the auxiliary minister team preset by the emperor for King Jing was like this. If it weren't for the sudden death of the first emperor, this would be the situation of the court in the Great Song Dynasty. It's just that after the new emperor established the foundation, how should the upstarts in the DPRK who have been reused by Zhao Ke in recent years deal with themselves? Zhe Keqiu thought of Chen Dong, Deng Su and others, and sighed regretfully.

............

"Lord Chen, the official family, the official family, was it really captured by the northern captives? What can I do, what can I do! ”

Qian Qi, the eunuch of Guangzhou City, said with a handful of snot and tears. After receiving the news that Cai Gongxiang and Cao Di, the marshal of Xijing, supported Zhao Qi, the king of Jingjing, as the king, Qian Qi felt even more frightened, and immediately ran to Chen Dong to discuss countermeasures. He is the old man of Zhao Ke's East Palace, and now that the big tree has fallen, his situation is even more embarrassing than Chen Dong. Qian Jue is greedy for a lot of ink in office, as long as the new dynasty imperial history is impeached slightly, I am afraid it will be the end of death.

Chen Dong frowned and looked at this eunuch, and forced himself to suppress the evil feeling in his heart. He also knew in his heart that on the cusp of this storm, Qian Jue was really in the same boat as himself. The news he learned was much more tangible than Qian Jue. There were even people in the Southeast Li Society who secretly transcribed Cai Jing's secret letters to various states and counties and reported them to him. The ascension to the throne of the third prince Zhao Qi means the comprehensive recovery of Cai Li and other traitors. The society and the traitorous party have been fighting viciously for many years, and there is no room for relaxation. Even if Zhao Qi temporarily ignores the people in the society in order to sit on the throne, he will be liquidated sooner or later in the future.

After patiently listening to Qian Jue's crying, Chen Dong comforted him with kind words again. The two sides agreed to work together to make an offensive and defensive alliance on Guangnan Road, and Qian Jue left anxiously. looked at Chen Dong's eyes when he was leaving, as if his net worth and life were tied to him. Seeing Qian Jue away, Chen Dong instructed his family to close the door for the time being. He turned around, a hint of sharpness in his eyes. The situation was pressing, and I had to fight.

"What?" Wu Zilong, a staff member and friend, lost his voice and said, "Shaoyang, you want to go to see Yue Fei in person?" He frowned and said, "The society still needs you to preside over the overall situation, and if you want to contact the Zhenguo Army as an arm, can't you send someone else?" In case of failure......"

"If you are swaying today, troubled times are coming. Although we have the heart to kill the thief and return to the saint, we have no strength to catch it. What's more important than the big picture? The saints are in trouble, and the traitors steal the country. Cao Yang folded Liu and other martial artists, even if they didn't help the abuse, they were also wait-and-see. Among the generals in my view, only Yue Pengju is loyal and righteous, and he is deeply favored by His Majesty, so he can still be moved. I'm just afraid that I will go late, General Yue will be bewitched by the villain, and he will make a distinction between the monarch and the traitor who steals the country, and he will regret it too late. Whether there is a chance to save the situation is only in this ten days. The building will fall, if it can be recovered, even if I Chen Shaoyang touches it, what is the regret? ”

Chen Dong walked in a hurry, while talking to Wu Zilong, he ordered the servants in the house to prepare horses, and at the same time asked Zhao Bo to use flying pigeons to pass the book, inform the shopkeeper of Yajiaoxing, and prepare the best fast horse replacement at the post station along the way. He has always been vigorous and resolute in the house, and everyone didn't know what he was going to do, so they were so busy doing what he told him to do one by one. Chen Dong stood next to the stable, with a gloomy face, waiting for Dillon and Wu Song, the leaders of the fast catching team, Dillon was familiar with the road, and Wu Song was highly skilled. It was a matter of secrecy, and he only took the two of them north. Wu Zilong temporarily signed all the affairs of the Guangzhou Prefecture, but to the outside world, he falsely claimed to be sick and closed the door to thank customers. At the same time that Chen Dong went to see Yue Fei in person, Wu Zilong and others made every effort to contact the scholars of the Lishe Society in the southeast of the country, neither obeying the edicts of Zhao Qi and Cai Jing and other thieves, nor following the chaotic orders issued by the Liao State in the name of Zhao Ke, creating a momentum of respecting the king, instigating the gentry and the people to expel Zhao Qi and the puppet officials appointed by the Liao, and asking all towns and states to send the king's teachers to welcome back the saint.

"But even if we can stop the traitor for the time being, what happens next?" Wu Zilong said with a worried face.

"No, but, the world is like chess, let's take the current step first." Chen Dong's eyes condensed slightly, he nodded at Dillon and Wu Song who came in a hurry, and arched his hand: "The saint is covered with dust, the country is in decline, and Chen has fought hard to save the world, so I asked two strong men to help, and I went north with Chen." He solemnly waved it, and Dillon and Wu Song changed color in unison, and hurriedly turned sideways. Dillon waved his hand and said, "Lord Chen, don't kill the villain, just tell me if you have anything." A glimmer of cold light flashed in Wu Song's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Wu gave up his life, and he will protect the adults thoroughly." ”

"The time is poor," Chen Dong looked at the two of them and said with emotion, "Okay, very good." Get on the horse. ”

The three of them turned over the saddle and rode on horseback, Chen Dong turned around, leaned over and said to Wu Zilong: "Without further ado, it is up to Brother Wu to contact the righteous people in the society." Wu Zilong nodded in agreement, he still wanted to persuade again, Chen Dong shook the reins and shouted twice: "Drive, drive!" "The trio's mounts were the best horses of the river, and they were so violent that they could even run to the death to catch up with other horses. With a slight urging, the master immediately raised his hooves and rushed out like a whirlwind.

Wu Zilong looked at the backs of Chen Dong and the others flying away, and after being stunned for a moment, he came back to his senses and immediately pretended to pass on Chen Dong's order and closed the door of the mansion. Now the situation is sinister, in order to prevent the Liao people's spies, if there is no warrant from the prefect's seal, outsiders cannot enter the palace, and the people in the palace cannot go out.

asked the servants to invite several other members of the council in Chen Shaoyang's curtain to sign the detention room, Wu Zilong muttered: "Recently, Guangnan Luzhou County has the most people in our society on Fujian Road. Jiangnan West Road and Jinghu South Road, there are several people in our company who have done it in the state and county, and the foundation of the old thief is not deep. I'm afraid that the old thief has been in business for the longest time is Jiangnan Road, and I'm afraid I can't take it. Jinghu North Road is related to the success or failure of Chen Shaoyang's trip, and it is necessary to contact colleagues as soon as possible to create momentum for him. ”

On the post road from Guangzhou north to Xiangyang, Chen Dong kept urging the horse, and the shadow house on the side of the road quickly retreated behind him, and he turned a blind eye. Instead, my mind is racing to think about how to deal with the current chaos. After he received the news that His Majesty had been abducted and Zhao Qi had been set up separately, he immediately decided to contact Yue Fei, the commander of the Zhenguo Army, in person, but his brain was not burned out. As the saying goes, a country cannot be left without an owner, even if Zhao Ke occupies the name of righteousness, but he is in the hands of the Liao people after all. The world is not a world of one person, if Yelu Dashi uses Zhao Ke's name to appoint and dismiss officials and give orders, the courtiers of the Song State will absolutely not tolerate it. If it wasn't the third prince Zhao Ke who was proclaimed emperor, and it wasn't Cai Jing and others that he reused, Chen Dong might have recognized it. However, when it comes to the grievances between the council and the traitorous party, there is no room for any concessions.

"Respect the king,......, but not follow the order,......,well, not the order," his mind kept turning, and his thoughts were like a galloping horse, "Although the Holy One cannot come to the court, as long as the righteousness is still there, we can respect His Majesty from afar and not obey the order,......, but what about the things that must be decreed." Without the will of God, who is in charge of the overall situation, and where will the officials of the state and county come from? Zhou Gong was afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang was humble to the corporal. How can people believe that Chen is not a national thief in the name of righteousness......" Several thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning, Chen Dong's eyes suddenly lit up, "Drive-drive-" Two loud shouts, and his tongue bloomed with spring thunder.
