In the city of Lin'an, the east hall of the imperial city is warm.

It's still those people, it's still those things.

Rizune leaned on the couch with his forehead leaned, looking tired, holding a stack of papers in his hand.

He shook the paper and looked at the courtiers sitting below in a sullen voice, with a worried face.

"Ladies and gentlemen, is this a good thing or a bad thing?" Li Zong's head hurt: "Why can't I understand it?" ”

Sitting below, Zhao Kui and the newly promoted Privy Council Governor and Governor Wu Qian, they glanced at each other and tacitly looked at Zuo Xiang Du Fan.

Du Fan was the one with the highest status among the courtiers, and at this moment, he shook his sleeves uncontrollably, shook his head deeply, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the internal turmoil and strife in Mongolia is of course a good thing for my Great Song Dynasty. ”

"Then why can they still repair books and send envoys to ask us about our teachers?" Li Zong rolled his eyes and shook the Mongolian book in his hand to Du Fan.

Du Fan glanced at it, and replied with a solemn face: "Mongolia is in our country, and it is natural that a prince has broken for no reason, so naturally he will not swallow his anger, and they sent an envoy to ask about it, which must be reasonable. ”

"According to Aiqing's words, as long as this Mongolia receives money, it will not go south?" Rizuma asked weakly.

"That's how it should be." Du Fan hesitated a little: "However, Mongolia is a country with tribal alliances, and as soon as the Great Khan dies, there will be civil strife, and the control of various tribes will be improper, and it is inevitable that some tribes will not respect the order and do their own thing, we still have to make some preparations on the border." ”

"What the left minister said is extremely true." The privy envoy Zhao Kui then spoke: "The Mongols are scattered and disorderly, and now that there is no Great Khan to control them, I am afraid that some northern captives will take the opportunity to go south to harass my Great Song Dynasty." ”

Li Zong frowned, threw the stack of papers on the table, rubbed his forehead and said, "So, if Kublai Khan dies, the Mongols won't make a big fuss because of this?" ”

Several ministers nodded their heads and said, "Your Majesty is reasonable, it should be so." ”

Li Zongchang exhaled, and his face improved slightly: "This is good, this is good." ”

He thought about it, and pointed at Zhao Kui uneasily: "You are a privy envoy, you are in charge of military affairs, you have to restrain the garrisons in various places, strictly order not to start wars without permission, strictly guard the borders, and not provoke disputes, so as not to end up in the north." ”

Zhao Kui hurriedly agreed to say yes, but then Ai Ai said: "Your Majesty, our officials and troops of the Great Song Dynasty have been fighting against Mongolia for many years, and the battle situation is staggered, especially in the Hanzhong area, Wang Kui and Changsun Hong are in a good situation, they recently wrote a letter to go north to Jingzhao Mansion, and strive to return Lizhou Road and Qinfeng Road to the territory of our Great Song Dynasty, if they are also ......."

"Stop, stop, and don't send out a single soldier." Li Zong's inexplicable spirit got up, slapped the table and shouted: "Don't think that you are invincible after a few victories, you sent Xu Minzi and Quan Zi to recover the two capitals during the Duanping period more than ten years ago, what happened in the end?" It's not that the army is defeated, and it is returned to pay the money, have you forgotten? ”

Zhao Kui was yelled at so loudly that he didn't dare to raise his head.

Li Zong didn't give up, probably when he was angry, he simply grabbed the paper on the table, threw it at Zhao Kui with his head and face, and roared in his mouth: "I have seen clearly after all these years, and the northern captives are invincible!" You're also a veteran, why can't you figure it out? I still want to covet the Central Plains, if I am not careful, I will not even be able to keep Jiangnan at that time, it doesn't matter if you die, how can I go underground to see my ancestors and ancestors! ”

Zhao Kui wanted to defend himself, but when he saw Li Zong's sudden outburst of crazy expression, he dared to speak, knelt on the ground with his head shrunk, and kowtowed again and again.

Du Fan and Youlu also had the intention of helping Zhao Kui say a few words at the beginning, after all, although Zhao Kui was born as a military general and had a different path in literature and martial arts, what he said was actually reasonable. The civil strife in Mongolia is a great opportunity to take the opportunity to recover the country, and to take advantage of your illness to kill you, God will give you.

However, looking at Li Zong's performance of blowing up Mao, neither of them dared to speak, so they could only persuade Li Zong to calm his anger, and gave Zhao Kui another look, asking him to admit his mistake.

Wu Qian, the youngest of the courtiers, had just been transferred from the Ministry of War, and he had the least qualifications, so on this occasion when the emperor was angry, he naturally didn't dare to speak, so he could only shake his head and sigh secretly.

It wasn't like that before Rishu.

At the beginning of his succession, after removing the shadow of Shi Miyuan, Li Zong was a vigorous and promising king, and he had the idea of reviving the national prestige, otherwise he would not agree to the alliance with the Mongols and the behavior of the Jin State. Why has the Richard changed after more than ten years?

Frightened by the Mongols, Wu Qian asked himself in his heart. This emperor was subdued by the Mongols year after year.

Looking at the scene of Li Zong's angry reprimand for Zhao Kui and several veteran ministers who had been through the waves for a long time to persuade him to calm his anger, Wu Qian felt in a trance that this scene seemed familiar.

By the way, when Gojong ascended the throne, it seemed to be like this.

The shame of Jingkang, Gaozong's southern crossing, the young and vigorous Emperor Gaozong at the beginning of Jiankang's reign, was the same as when Lizong succeeded to the throne, they were all the same high-spirited and the same expectations.

Jiangnan was united in one heart and hatred of the enemy, and across a hundred years, an almost the same generous war was staged, with Gaozong consolidating Jiangnan and Li Zong destroying the Jin Kingdom.

But the history is strikingly similar, Gaozong lost his will in ten years and killed Yue Fei, and Li Zong also lost his edges and corners in ten years, and he also wanted to ......

Thinking of this, Wu Qian couldn't help but shudder, and didn't dare to think about it anymore.

A chamberlain from Zhongshu Province turned around twice at the door of the warm pavilion, saw the lightning and thunder inside, did not dare to go in, handed a letter to the eunuch who served at the door, and retreated outside to wait.

The eunuch didn't dare to go in, but waited outside for a while, and waited until the Li Zong inside stopped, and began to drink tea angrily, before quietly entering, and did not dare to disturb the few important ministers who were talking to the Li Zong, his eyes swept around, and came to Wu Qian, who was on the outermost periphery.

"Urgent report from Zhongshu Province." The eunuch whispered, and then retreated with a puff of smoke, faster than a rabbit.

Wu Qian glanced at it hastily, his expression suddenly became serious, as if he saw something terrible, and stood up suddenly.

The few people who nodded around Li Zong looked back in surprise, and even Zhao Kui, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head.

Wu Qian's breath was short, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, his face was flushed, his expression was wonderful, he seemed to be trying his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, and hurriedly handed the text to Du Fan.

When Du Fan blinked and took it, he noticed that Wu Qian's hands were shaking.

"What's written on it?" In this way, even Li Zong noticed the abnormality, if it was not for urgent government affairs, the Ministry of Zhongshu would not send the text directly to the warm pavilion.

Du Fan swept the two-page text with a glance and ten lines, his face shocked.

He raised his head nervously, looked at Zhao Kui on the ground, and then at Li Zong on the imperial couch, his lips opened, but he didn't say anything.

"What the hell is written!" In Li Zong's heart, an ominous premonition rose, and he couldn't help but sit up straight, and shouted with residual anger.

"Your Majesty...... Sichuan made Wang Kui 800 miles to expedite the province of writing and the Privy Council. Du Fan was a little frightened, but a joy that could not be concealed still came out smoothly from his tone without a trace, he licked his mouth, and while presenting the document to Li Zong, he said in a deep voice: "Just three days ago, his general Changsun Hong, led his troops out of Qinling, led 50,000 people, and made a northern expedition to Jingzhao Mansion!" ”

Northern Expedition to Jingzhao Mansion!

In the whole warm pavilion, the air froze at once.

Li Zong was stunned for a moment, then his face was as earthy as the color of the earth, and he shook the low table on the imperial couch, and fell down.

"Your Majesty!"

Several slaughterhouses suddenly panicked, rushed up, tightly held Li Zong's body, and shouted for the imperial doctor.

Li Zong is qi and blood, his brain couldn't bear it for a while, and he fainted, and as soon as a few courtiers screamed, he woke up faintly.

Then he jumped up in an instant and scolded at the frightened Zhao Kui: "Didn't I tell you to control the degree?" Didn't I tell you to write Sichuan, so that they should not act rashly? Why did it move!? Yes! Why did it move?! ”

Zhao Kui didn't know anything, he was scolded inexplicably, and before he could answer, Li Zong shouted hysterically: "Send a gold medal!" Chase them back to me, Jingzhaofu is the seat of the Mongols' Monan Han land, and attacking it is tantamount to starting a war! Can you fight? Can you fight?! ”

"Chase them back and hand out the gold medal! Hurry up for the gold medal! He screamed like a frightened madman who would do nothing.
