When Zhao Ji came in, Wen Yanbo was waiting impetuously.

Part of it is that the Privy Council and Wang Anshi's Zhongshu Sect have recently lost the upper hand in the struggle for control of the Third Class Academy, and they have suffered a loss; But the main reason is that there are rumors circulating in the capital about the division of Shaanxi Road.

Political rumors are the biggest feature of the capital of every big country, and no one is exempt from it, whether ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign. Kaifeng, as the capital of the Great Song Dynasty and the political center of a country, is naturally no exception.

Countless people's lives are closely related to the changes in the court, and tens of thousands of pairs of eyes are staring at the palace and the court all the time. For the Son of Heaven and the court, there was no privacy in their lives at all. What happened this morning will spread throughout the capital in the afternoon; What happened in the night, and the next morning, the mother-in-law who sold cold soup on the side of the road could shake a fan and say something.

Emperor Renzong played a game of one dragon and two phoenixes, and when he yawned more when he went to court, he was immediately attacked by the officials, forcing him to send two beloved beauties to the Taoist temple to become monks; Today's Empress Dowager Gao and Emperor Cao quarreled over Emperor Yingzong's concubine, and the storyteller in Sangjiawazi the next day had a joke about the story of Emperor Wen of Sui and Empress Dugu.

Of course, the Son of Heaven doesn't want to be taken up as a topic of conversation about his affairs at night, if the means of isolating internal and external news can be like the palace wall, all the secrets that happen in the palace can be stopped in the palace, and life will be much easier. But the rulers in high positions, once they saw such signs of blocking the inside and outside of the palace, they could immediately jump five feet high. If they don't knock down the signs of danger and kick out the executors, they won't give up - without news from the palace, the imperial historians will lose half of their work, and they will completely side with the deacons for their own sake.

When Emperor Renzong was seriously ill, Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi tried their best to change the old rules, stayed in the palace, and even entered the Son of Heaven's bedroom step by step. In the name of beauty, it is not allowed to isolate the generations of women's temples from China and abroad. At this time, no one talked about the law of the ancestors.

However, there are too many rumors in the city of Tokyo, and there are very few reliable ones, especially when people spread rumors, they tend to be thrilling and strange or romantic. Therefore, the imperial historians are just hearsay, let them find out everything, and don't do anything. The rulers, who have more effective information channels in their hands, will not be surprised by sensational rumors.

It's just that the rumors that Wen Yanbo heard this time are different from the past, and they are not unsubstantiated. The division of Shaanxi transshipment envoys has been written a long time ago.

The original Qinfeng Road was a slightly pacified envoy road, which belonged to the military aspect. Nowadays, it is rumored that the Qinfeng Road, which is to be divided from Shaanxi Road, is a transit road. Responsible for the transportation of grain and straw, and control the financial power. If the Qinfeng transshipment envoy is really set up, it is obvious that it is to prepare for the large-scale movement of the Hehuang strategy, just like the establishment of the Shaanxi and Hedong Xuanfu Divisions in order to capture Hengshan.

In terms of road traffic, Shaanxi is too large. In order to facilitate command, the old Shaanxi Jinglu Road was divided into five - divided into Yanyan, Huanqing, Jingyuan, Qinfeng and Yongxing Military Road; It is also quite normal for the transshipment to split the road in two.

It is not difficult to do administratively, the establishment of the road level of the Great Song Dynasty has been changed frequently, and Hebei and Zhejiang have not been moved, and only one letter is needed. With the addition of a road-level supervisor, the officialdom will inevitably be welcomed, and now there are more monks in the court, and there are dozens of more seats at once, which is of course a good thing for the bureaucrats.

Although it is a rumor, it has a strong reality. can point out that after the failure of the Hengshan Raiders, the movement of the imperial court's strategic transfer in Shaanxi must be manipulated behind the scenes. At the same time, with Wen Yanbo's understanding of Zhao Ji, if someone is like this, he will most likely nod his head and agree.

Wen Yanbo kept scolding in his heart, "A chaos in Hengshan has just subsided, and it is time for Shaanxi to recuperate all the way, and he has begun to play the idea of the Tubo people in the west again." Gotta take a breather, right?! ’

After waiting in the empty and silent Chongzheng Hall for an unknown amount of time, I finally heard the sound of footsteps coming from behind the small door at the back of the hall, and the sound of the arrival of the Son of Heaven also came.

The privy envoy of the Great Song Dynasty knelt down, lowered his head, raised his eyelids, and walked into the hall with his spare eyes to meet several familiar figures, among whom a thin man in a red robe walked behind the imperial case and sat down.

The Son of Heaven sat down, and Wen Yanbo immediately bowed down and saluted like a ritual.

After flattening, watching Wen Yanbo stand up, Zhao Ji did not forget to give the old minister a seat. But Wen Yanbo stood upright and pushed Zhao Ji's kindness away.

Zhao Ji sighed, the emperor is not easy to do, and it is common for ministers to give him a look, he is used to it. No longer forcing Wen Yanbo to sit down, he asked directly, "Wen Qing asks to see him at this time, I don't know what the important thing is?" ”

"The minister is here for the West!" Wen Yanbo said loudly, the division of Shaanxi Road is still a rumor, of course he will not take it out and say it, he can only knock on the side: "Wu Kui's matter is still unresolved." The rebels surrendered for many days, but the culprit remained uncaptured. The ministers asked His Majesty to descend to Guanzhong, and all states and counties took strict precautions, and the inspection department inspected the roads and beams, painted shadows and sea fishing, and offered a reward for Wu Kui. ”

"Since this is the case, Han Jiang also said the same, and has already done it."

Although it was known that Wu Kui's whereabouts were unknown a few days ago, after ten days of searching, the Shaanxi Xuanfu Division finally gave up. Today, the news came back, Han Jiang and Yan Da both pleaded guilty for this, and made it clear that they had painted shadows on Shaanxi Road and asked the court to posthumously recognize them. It's no different from what Wen Yanbo said.

It's just that Zhao Ji has doubts in his heart, although Wu Kui is the culprit of the mutiny and needs to be caught by sea, it will not make the privy envoy rush into the palace. Could it be that Wen Yanbo urgently asked to see him just to say this?

Of course it can't be, Wen Yanbo followed with words: "Wu Kui has been in the army for a long time and knows the inside story. His Majesty was asked to issue an immediate decree that the walled cities, key passes, barracks, and pavilions on the four roads on the edge of Shaanxi must be re-examined and guarded, and the garrisons of all departments should be changed in advance, and the secret mark of the banner must also be replaced, so as to prevent others from defecting to the party and leaking military secrets. ”

“…… Han Jiang has already said this in the song, and I am also approved. ”

The two suggestions became an afterthought, Wen Yanbo's expression remained unchanged, after he almost fainted from a stroke in the court last time, his psychological quality became even better. He continued: "Wu Kui led the Guangrui army to rebel, causing chaos in Guanzhong. The name of Guangrui is already ominous. Please ask Your Majesty to issue an order to dismantle the Guangrui Army, destroy the banner documents, and merge the remaining troops that have not rebelled into other horse armies. ”

“…… Regarding this matter, Han Jiang also said that I was also accurate...... Han Jiang's recital also said that the imperial court should implement the armor protection law in Shaanxi as soon as possible, and all townships and villages should form a team to protect the armor and strictly prevent thieves, fugitives and spies! Han Jiang even asked for orders for Huanqing and Jingyang and other three counties to be exempted from taxes this year...... I agreed to all of these things. ”

Zhao Ji said all the content in Han Jiang's recital. He has been an emperor for so many years, and he has read a lot of people, and he can see what the intentions of his courtiers are in their words and deeds. Wen Yanbo still looks at him with old eyes, treating his youth as a fool, which is too underestimating and too deceitful. Zhao Ji stared at Wen Yanbo - if there is anything to say, it is time to say it.

was robbed by Zhao Ji for a while, but Wen Yanbo was still calm and composed. But now he understands that he can no longer play the game of words. Skipping the overly lengthy opening line, he went straight to the point: "Your Majesty." Although the three thousand Guangrui rebels were trapped in Xianyang City, they had no choice but to surrender. But the thief's heart is hard to change, and once they are out of a desperate situation, they may not rebel again. And Wu Kui is absconding, and it is possible to collude with him, so this matter cannot be prevented......"

"Wen Qing, what do you mean?"

"How can the three thousand rebels stay in Shaanxi? When all of them were exiled to Guangnan, in order to prevent him from colluding with Wu Kui. In addition, the remaining members of the rebels have been lenient in their capital crimes, and if they follow the words of the Shaanxi Xuanfu Division, if they circulate with the rebels in the distant army, will it be a punishment for mutiny? Be a slave and set an example! ”

Wen Yanbo was murderous, but Zhao Ji sighed, "As for this matter, Han Jiang also said it in the song. ”

Wen Shumi's face changed slightly, and he only heard Zhao Ji say: "The promised things must not be changed lightly, otherwise the court will not keep its word, and there will be chaos." And Wu Kui's life and death are unknown, if he really absconds, leaving his traitor party in Kansai, it can be used as bait. Secretly monitor the rebel generals, if Wu Kui does not repent and still has a rebellious heart, go to contact them, and then he can be captured. ”

Zhao Ji didn't know when Lu Dao Han Jiang became so organized and comprehensive, which was completely different from his previous style of music, I don't know if Lu Dao changed the guest who drafted the music. But Han Jiang's recital was like a prescient-for-tat confrontation with Wen Yanbo, and one by one he rushed in front of Wen Yanbo, so that all the calculations of Wen Shu's envoy came to naught. Such a coincidence made Zhao Ji laugh dumbly, and his originally depressed mood was now a little better.

Wen Yanbo's intentions, Zhao Ji already knows.

After receiving so many hints from Wen Yanbo, coupled with the secret performance of the Imperial City Division in the past two days, Zhao Ji knew why Wen Yanbo came.

Xiang Zhuang danced the sword, intended for Pei Gong. is clearly talking about the disposal of Wu Kui's rebels, but in fact, it is another important matter.

Zhao Ji said to Wen Yanbo slowly, as if he was asking for his opinion: "Wen Qing, someone in the DPRK has been writing recently, but the affairs of the Shaanxi Transit Division are complicated, and they are twice as busy as others. Successive transfer envoys, once the term of office expires, it is difficult to travel all the military states. If the western thief is the same as Kodolu, it will be even more difficult to support. Ask the imperial court to divide the Shaanxi Road into two in order to direct the transfer...... There are also rumors in Beijing about this matter, I don't know if Wen Qing has heard about it in advance, what do you think about it? ”

"The matter...... Never! ”

Wen Yanbo was resolute and resolute, and his tone was extremely hard, without a trace of accommodation.
