At the same time, Lin'an.

Wenfu held a Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting today, and those talented and beautiful women in Lin'an who admired Wen Xianggong were all happy.

In fact, the Fangla Rebellion has not yet subsided, and Wen Xianggong himself originally planned to stop holding this year's poetry meeting.

But Wen Zhong and others disagreed, they thought that now was the eve of the showdown between the main battle lord and the two factions, and if the poetry meeting was suspended, it would inevitably make the young scholars think that the main battle faction was afraid of Qin Xianggong - the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting in Qin Xianggong's manor was held as usual.

What's more, although the Fangla Rebellion had a great impact, it failed to treat the wealthy families living in Lin'an City, at most, the manors outside the city and the industries in the direction of Jinling suffered a little loss, which was just a penny.

Many people want to make the poetry club a prosperous era in the literary world, not only to change the tense mood of the previous period, but also to show off the strength of their own side.

Wen Xianggong couldn't resist so many people, so he had to agree to hold the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting as usual when the war was still breaking out between Lin'an and Jinling.

Of course, the poetry meeting was held and held, and the core officials of the main battle faction were more concerned about the wars everywhere.

Therefore, at the time when the poetry meeting was about to start but had not yet begun, Wen Xianggong convened several core members of the school to discuss several important issues together.

"What did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say over there?"

The first person to ask questions was, of course, the spiritual leader of the main battle faction, Wen Xianggong.

"The prince was very happy to hear the results of the war in Jiangbei." Wen Zhong, who had a prince's attendant in the palace, replied: "Your Highness said that since the militia of Qi Province can defeat the entire Tartar division, my Great Zhou official army should be stronger, and there is really no need to be afraid of the Tartars." ”

Several main battle factions frowned at the same time.

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, which is also normal.

But Qi Province can defeat the Tartars and the Great Zhou official army should be stronger, there seems to be no connection between the two views, right?

Of course, even if it's a misconception, that's a good thing.

This means that once the crown prince ascends the throne, the lord and faction who advocate compromise with the Tartars will definitely be disgusted by the emperor.

Then, the remaining question is how to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ascend the throne as soon as possible.

"The Palace Forbidden Army is supporting us now." Wen Zhong continued: "As long as Gao Yu's house is still outside Lin'an, we can ...... at any time. ”

He didn't say any more, but everyone present knew what he wanted to say.

The forbidden army was completely disappointed in the Lord and the faction because of the matter of harmony - after all, even Xu Ning's meritorious children were given to the Tartars like rags by the Lord and the faction, if the Lord and the faction continued to be on the stage, the next time they might be their turn to go to the Liaodong Tiger's Den.

"The forbidden army just hates Lao Qin and them." Wen Xianggong took a sip of tea and said quietly: "They may not support His Majesty's abdication as the emperor. ”

"So, when we do this, we have to have our own force."

"The Shunyi army is on the front line, can't it be transferred back?" Zhang Mingyi said.

"Shiliu is a well-trained soldier." Wen Xianggong said quietly: "He said that as long as the old man gave him a word, he could get rid of Gao Yu and rush back to Lin'an within 12 hours to control the whole city." ”

"Can it be done?" Several officials of the main battle faction asked at the same time.

"The old man believes in him."

Then there's not much to say.

No one cares if Xu Shiliu's unauthorized departure will make the war against Fang La changeable, for everyone, the most important thing is always the court, not the thief.

"Then it's decided." Wen Zhong said calmly: "Everyone must be ready, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will enter the palace again and persuade Your Majesty." ”

"If Your Majesty doesn't wake up......."

That sentence was not spoken, but everyone knew that if Emperor Jianxing could not meet the political needs of the main battle faction, then it would be on the side of the Qing monarch.

Maybe it's to divert the tension, or maybe it's for another purpose.

At this time, Weng Shuping said another thing in an emotional tone:

"Xu Shiyang broke the Tartar in Jiangbei, and this sincerity is my first side work; As soon as Xu Shisong arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, he defeated the 100,000 thief army with 2,000 soldiers and relieved the siege of Jinling. As for Shiliu ......, before the handsome wanderers formed the Shunyi army and repelled the Fangla rebels, and now they said that they could return to Lin'an in 12 hours to control the whole city, hehe, the three sons of the Xu family really have their own strengths and weaknesses in military affairs. ”

There are words in the words, but they are the truth.

Compared with the generals in Jiangnan, the performance of the three brothers of the Xu family on the battlefield is indeed too dazzling.

One of the most incredible is naturally Xu Shiyang.

Since the burning of the Duting Station in Lin'an, Xu Shiyang's military exploits have surpassed almost all famous generals since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

And this man seems to be particularly fond of pulling and beating with a frightening tartar.

"Shuping, what do you mean?" Wen Zhong asked with a frown.

"After the situation is stabilized, we should find a way to limit the power of the Xu family in the army." Weng Shuping said bluntly: "Shiliu is a literati, he shouldn't continue to stay in the army, let him study hard." ”

"This is nature, Shiliu needs to study hard." Wen Xianggong said in an affirmative tone: "When the new emperor ascends the throne next year, he will definitely open Enke, and he has to seize the opportunity." ”

The Enke of the Great Zhou Dynasty is more similar to the Manchu Qing Dynasty in another time and space, and it is every time the imperial court celebrates, outside the normal scientific examination year, it specially opens a department to select scholars, rather than directly giving "special names" to old scholars who have failed many times like the Song Dynasty.

If everything goes well, the new emperor ascends the throne, and the yuan will be changed next year, the imperial court will inevitably open Enke.

If nothing else, when the Wenxiang Guild returns to the phase and serves as a scientific examiner, at this time, the monk Xu Shiliu, who has no fame and Weng Shuping, who is not a Jinshi, can take a big advantage in it.

But even so, there must still be the necessary real talent and real learning, even in order to block the mouth of the world's scholars, Xu Shiliu, as a disciple of Wen Xianggong, must also lay a good foundation in the imperial examination.

Therefore, it is only natural for him to leave the Shunyi Army.

"Xu Shisong's side can promote his official position again, but he can't be let go back to Jiangbei, so let him command the troops in Jiangnan."

"Yes." Wen Xianggong agreed: "Since Shi Liu wants to study hard behind closed doors, it is not bad to let Shi Song preside over the army, I hope he can train the officials and soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty into real elites." ”

Why can the militia of Qi Province defeat the Tartars, and the 2,000 forbidden troops who have been to Qi Province can defeat the 100,000 rebel army when they come back, and even the Shunyi Army composed of Jiangbei refugees seems to be better than the official army of the Great Zhou?

Wen Xianggong didn't know much about this, he instinctively felt that this might be because of the different factors of the generals, right?

If Xu Shisong could train all the officials and troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty to be as elite as his subordinates, why worry that the Northern Expedition would not succeed in the future?

"Let Princess Renfu marry him." Zhang Mingyi suddenly spoke: "I heard that Xu Shisong doesn't have a wife yet? The fame of him sending back the princess thousands of miles has spread among the people, and some people have made up a little song to sing about it. ”

"The princess has never left the barracks, I'm afraid that she is afraid that she will be sent to Liaodong to make peace again, and secondly, she has something to do with Xu Shisong......

"Sven sweeps the floor." Weng Shuping snorted coldly.
