After the news of the defeat of the Song army in Baigou was transmitted back to Bianliang City in Tokyo, it immediately caused an uproar, and even covered up the fact that Li Shishi, the first prostitute of the Great Song Dynasty, and the three current emperors, Chongde Emperor, Maode Emperor, and Xunde Emperor, were also "stolen" by the stolen Shuai Liuxiang.

Wang Huang, who has been busy helping Zhao Ji find a good friend and find his daughter in the past two days, really didn't expect that their Great Song army would be so vulnerable!

"Tong Guan and Seed Master Dao are battle-hardened commanders and generals, how could they be defeated by the Liao army at their doorstep?"

"Isn't Yandi Hanmin looking for the Central Plains?"

"How can Yeluchun have such a strong military force?"

"It's the same Song army, why is Cai Ying's army invincible, but Tong Guan's army is so vulnerable? Is it because Tong Guan is old? ”

"Is it to make a statement to the official family, and Cai will still replace Tong Guan as the commander?"

“……”

Just when Wang Hao was thinking about how to deal with this change and how to explain it to Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji called Wang Huang away.

Although he was nervous, Wang Huang still went to see Zhao Ji as soon as possible.

As soon as he entered the palace gate, Wang Hao saw Zhao Ji angrily slamming a piece of music to the ground.

These two days have really made Zhao Ji heartwarming!

I don't know what's going on, Master Li, who has been honestly staying in the drunken apricot building, and her two maids are auspicious and wishful, and they disappeared out of thin air, leaving two poems on the wall of the drunken apricot building: The son is accompanied by flowers and lost his beauty, and the handsome man walks on the moon and stays fragrant.

This is exactly the same as the situation when Zhao Yuannu disappeared.

To tell the truth, Zhao Ji has long been disinterested in Master Li, and he hasn't even seen Master Li for more than a year.

But even so, that thief can't "steal" Master Li!

You must know that Master Li is not just a woman, she is also the face of an emperor, "stealing" Master Li is not stealing people, but slapping him in the face of the emperor Zhao Ji!

What's even more hateful is that the thief who "stole" the handsome Liuxiang was not only his Zhao Ji's woman, but also his Zhao Ji's daughter, and there were not just one, but three - like Zhao Yuannu and Li Shishi, the three of them and their maids also disappeared with Pingning, and two poems were also left on the wall of his residence: The son is accompanied by flowers and lost his beauty, and the thief is handsome and leaves fragrance on the moon.

It's so hateful!

Zhao Ji swore that he must find this thief and keep the handsome, and then cut him with a thousand knives!

And yet—

Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular!

In this empty space that made Zhao Ji upset, it was unexpectedly reported that the Song army was defeated!

This made Zhao Ji even more angry!

Liang Shicheng hurriedly squatted down to pick up the concerto, and then carefully put the concerto on the imperial case.

Zhao Ji didn't look at Liang Shicheng, so he asked Wang Hao: "Do you know that our 100,000 army of the Great Song Dynasty was defeated by 30,000 Liao troops at the Baigou River and was killed and wounded?" I spend tens of millions of dollars every year to raise the army, and I don't want to just raise these wastes, and throw them abroad! ”

Zhao Ji's face was gloomy, and his voice changed tone, not at all as soft as usual.

Wang Hao's heart chuckled, and then he hurriedly said, "The official family is angry...... It can't be dead and wounded, right? Whose recital is this so exaggerated? ”

Zhao Ji glanced at Liang Shicheng.

Liang Shicheng immediately understood, and then took the piece to Wang Huang.

Wang Hao took the chapter and looked down, it turned out to be Shen Jizhong of Zhizhen Dingfu.

Wang Hao said: "Shen Jizhong has always been a good writer and good at exaggeration, and the official family doesn't have to believe it. ”

Shen Jizhong was appointed as a member of the household department, and it was Wang Hao who promoted him and sent him to Zhending Mansion - Wang Hao originally wanted Shen Jizhong to go to Hebei to investigate the internal movements of the Liao State and contribute to the Northern Expedition to recover Yanyun, but who knew that he repeatedly called for "Liao cannot be destroyed, and Jin cannot be neighbored", echoing the ministers who opposed the Northern Expedition in the court, causing Tong Guan to be strongly disgusted, Wang Hao was also very tired of Shen Jizhong, and he had long wanted to find a suitable position to transfer him away.

Wang Hao said again: "The minister estimates that Master Tong's recital should also be coming soon, and let's see what he says." ——Wang Hao felt that although their Song army was defeated, the results could not be as serious as Shen Jizhong said.

Soon, the Yintai Division really presented Tong Guan's recital.

Tong Guan's recital has a total of three chapters, all of which are impeachments - one impeachment of the seed master, saying that the seed master said: "The heavenly posture is easy to kill, and the battle is shoulder-to-shoulder, helping the thief to seek a plan, and frustrating the holy will." ", an impeachment and reprimand, saying and reprimanding: "Not from moderation." The third article impeached Hou Yi, the pacification envoy of Gaoyang Guanlu and the governor of Hejian Prefecture, saying that he said: "The report is not true. ”

Wang Huang quickly understood Tong Guan's intentions.

Wang Huang said in his heart: "Tong Guan wants to let the seed master Dao and He Shu bear the responsibility for this defeat." ”

Wang Hao weighed the pros and cons, and felt that it would be more beneficial for him to follow the path laid by Tong Guan, so he immediately agreed with Tong Guan and said: "Official, Taishi made it very clear in the recital that it was the two of them who did not lead our Great Song army well, so they suffered this defeat. If they could follow the plan of the officials and conscientiously implement the three policies for patrolling the borders, the situation would never have come to this. For the sake of military justice, the minister suggested that the two be exiled to Lingnan. ”

Zhao Ji was very disappointed with the performance of the seed master in Hebei, no, it should be said that he was very disappointed!

But Zhao Ji thought again: "The Dao of Seed Masters may be too old and no longer suitable for commanding troops." ”

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji asked Wang Hao: "Seed Master Dao is over seventy this year, right?" ”

Liang Shicheng hurriedly replied, "It's already seventy-two." ”

Zhao Ji sighed lightly and said: "Life is seventy years old, he is seventy-two, don't be exiled, demote him." ”

Wang Hao asked, "What about He Shu and Hou Yi?" ”

Zhao Ji said: "He Shu is not the main general, and he cannot be held responsible for the military defeat, but as the deputy commander and governor of Xiongzhou, he cannot be disconnected, and he will be transferred from Xiongzhou for demotion, and Hou Yi will also be demoted." ”

I have to say that although Zhao Ji is mediocre, he is not a harsh person, otherwise he would never let go of the lost battle so easily.

Wang Hao thought for a while, and then said: "Master Tong is almost seventy this year, and his energy is inevitably a little lacking. ”

Regarding Wang Hao's proposal, Zhao Ji was very moved.

This is also normal.

The same led the army north.

Cai still only brought 50,000 or 60,000 horses, and as soon as he arrived in Yundi, he defeated the Liao army and captured three states in a row.

Look at Tong Guan again, commanding hundreds of thousands of troops, as soon as he arrived in Yandi, he was defeated by the Liao army again and again, and he was humiliated by the country.

In this case, how could Zhao Ji not want Cai to replace Tong Guan?

But—

Zhao Ji also has some concerns about this, that is, he has lost contact with Huang Jingchen for almost two months.

Although during these two months, Cai was still in contact with the imperial court, and there was a lot of good news, but Huang Jingchen, who had a small report in three days and a big report in five days, suddenly had no news, which still made Zhao Ji very uneasy!

It's not that Zhao Ji didn't send someone to ask.

But the people sent by Zhao Ji were all like stones sinking into the sea, no one was born, no corpse was dead, and no news was brought back to Zhao Ji.

Cai still mentioned it once, saying that Huang Jingchen was old, and some people were not adapted, so he fell ill not long after he arrived in Yundi, and also said that Yundi was newly restored, and there were many Liao country rangers, who often intercepted and killed small groups of Song people.

Although this can also be explained, Zhao Ji has always been uneasy!

Therefore, Zhao Ji did not immediately agree to Wang Hao's invitation, but only said: "Let the champion Hou return to Beijing, I will talk to him and make a decision." ”

Wang Hao immediately understood that Zhao Ji had actually moved the intention of letting Cai still be in charge of the overall situation, but he wanted to teach Cai still the opportunity to face to face.

This is actually normal, after all, he is preparing to hand over most of the army of the Great Song Dynasty to Cai Ying to command, how could Zhao Ji not talk to Cai Ying in person?

Wang Hao responded: "No, the minister will go and inform the champion Hou to return to Beijing to go to Que." ”

After speaking, Wang Hao wanted to go down.

didn't want to, but at this time, Zhao Ji took the initiative to ask: "How did the Kaifeng Mansion investigate the thief Liuxiang?" ”

Wang Hao replied: "I haven't found it yet." ”

Seeing Zhao Ji frowning, Wang Hao added: "The people in Kaifeng Mansion said that there is a secret passage under Li Niangzi's small building......"

Wang Hao already knew that the secret passage led to the palace, so he guessed that the secret passage must have been dug by the people in the palace.

As for why the people in the palace dug this secret passage, Wang Hao could guess the reason with his heels.

Therefore, just a little mention, Wang Hao crossed the matter, and said: "There is a place in the middle of the secret passage, which has obviously been chiseled open, and the people of Kaifeng Mansion have chiseled it up again, and after drilling out, they have entered a small building of a private house, but it is a pity that the people of Kaifeng Mansion went a step late, and there are already people who have gone to the empty building, and the people of Kaifeng Mansion inquired with the Ya Po on that street and learned that the house was sold half a year ago, and the buyer was a middle-aged man who ran a business. ”

Wang Hao concluded: "Now, the people of Kaifeng Mansion have preliminarily determined that the culprit should have entered Fanlou from that secret passage to take away Li Niangzi, and it had been premeditated for a long time. ”

Zhao Ji listened, his face sank like water!

After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Ji asked, "Is it possible that she took the initiative to go with someone?" ”

Wang Hao actually guessed so, but he couldn't say it directly, he could only say vaguely: "I can't rule out this possibility." ”

When Zhao Ji heard this, his face became even worse, and he said again: "What about Chongde, Maode, and Xunde?" ”

Wang Hao said: "The people of Kaifeng Mansion found out that the three emperors have not shown up for at least two months, a few days ago, that is, on the nineteenth of last month, the Jiade Emperor sent someone to invite the three emperors to participate in the tea party, and the people sent did not see the three emperors, only a strange maid met with the person sent by the Jiade Emperor, and sent the person sent by the Jiade Emperor Ji away. ”

Wang Hao said again: "The people of Kaifeng Mansion boldly speculate that the three emperors may have left a long time ago, and someone pretended to be them to live in the place where they lived for a while, and it may be the same with Li Niangzi. ”

Zhao Ji listened, patted the royal case, and said sharply: "Check!" I must find out who this thief Liuxiang is, if it is not clear, all the people in Kaifeng Mansion will be dismissed and investigated! ”

At this moment, the eunuch of the Yintai Division came to report again: "Official, Master Tong has another piece of music." ”

The eunuch of the Yintai Division immediately added: "Six hundred miles is urgent." ”

When Zhao Ji heard this, his heart "chuckled"!

Tong Guan's impeachment of Seed Master Dao, He Xu, and Hou Yi, and the defeat of Baigou didn't take six hundred miles to expedite, so what is worth Tong Guan's six hundred miles to expedit?

Zhao Ji took Tong Guan's recital, and then read it word by word.

The more I read, the more shocked Zhao Ji became!

The more I read, the more unbelievable Zhao Ji became!

Zhao Read, the more distorted Zhao Ji's expression became!

Seeing this, Wang Hao and Liang Shicheng knew that something big must have happened, and this big event was probably not a good thing.

After reading it, Zhao Ji threw the piece into the distance with all his might, and said angrily: "Traitor! Treacherous! Treacherous! It's a shame that I use you so much! Regardless of your youth, you have been repeatedly overpromoted! That's how you repay me! That's how I was treated! Traitorous ......"

Zhao Ji, who cultivates the Tao, is definitely a person with a good character, he will not get angry easily, and even the Seed Master Dao, He Shu and others lost the battle on the front line and humiliated the country, he also understands the old age of the Seed Master Dao, understands that He Shu is not the main general, and does not severely punish the Seed Master Dao, He Shu and others.

Such a Zhao Ji, who can make such a big fire, must have something big to stimulate Zhao Ji.

Wang Hao and Liang Shicheng exchanged glances without a trace.

Liang Shicheng lightly went to pick up Tong Guan's recital.

And Wang Hao said: "The official family should also take care of the dragon body, nothing is as important as your dragon body." ”

I don't want to, Wang Hao's words of concern stabbed the hornet's nest, Zhao Ji actually came at Wang Hao, he said coldly: "Do you know Cai still this traitor, you actually protect him, at the beginning, if I hadn't listened to your words, how could I have made Cai still gain power, made Cai still betray me so much, and made Cai still so humiliated!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Wang Hao's cold sweat suddenly came down!

At the same time, Wang Hao, including Liang Shicheng, immediately understood that the source of the matter was Cai Yi.

Liang Shicheng's eyes moved, and then he beckoned to a small eunuch.

When the little eunuch saw this, he immediately brought a cup of tea.

Liang Shicheng took the tea, and then gently put it in front of Zhao Ji's imperial case, and said at the same time: "The official family is angry, Cai is still hiding too well, who would have thought that he was a wolf and a son, this matter...... Dazai can't be blamed on all of them. ”

Hearing Liang Shicheng say this, Zhao Ji thought about it, and he didn't see that Cai was still so treacherous, so Wang Hao couldn't be blamed for this matter, but Cai was still hiding too deeply.

Seeing that Zhao Ji's anger had subsided, Wang Hao asked cautiously: "Official, I don't know if Cai is still ...... him."

Zhao Ji waved his hand at Liang Shicheng.

Seeing this, Liang Shicheng showed Tong Guan's recital to Wang Hao.

After Wang Hao saw it, he was also shocked, and he said: "If what Master Tong made up is true, then Cai still captured the Liao lord and released the Liao lord, and also occupied all the daughters of the Liao royal family, which is really a wolf ambition." ”

Zhao Ji took a deep breath and said, "Although Tong Guan is still at odds with Cai, he shouldn't frame Cai Yi in this matter." ”

Wang Hao's eyes moved, and then he offered advice: "Official, quickly send someone to see if Cai Ying's family is still there, if so, quickly control it, and use it to sanction Cai Ying, if not...... That means that there is a good chance that this matter is true, and Cai is still afraid that he really wants to stand on his own. ”
