Chapter 178: I want to go to Liaodong
In the main hall, there was a deathly silence.
The civil and military officials looked at Zhao Hao with doubts on their faces, unable to believe their ears.
Originally, the people of the two factions, Wang Hao and Cai Jing, because Zhao Hao did not give face on both sides, offended the people on both sides, so both sides made up their minds to rectify Zhao Hao well. Wang Hao and Liang Shicheng's faction failed to even try to block Tong Guan, in order to give Zhao Hao a dismount and embarrass him above the court.
But no one expected that Zhao Hao would really be "fooled".
He had just killed the Jurchen envoy and brushed the Jurchens' face, and now he went to Liaodong to envoy Jinguo, how could the Jurchens give him a good look? This is not only destined to be a difficult task to complete, but even someone may do something on the way, and your life will be lost.
According to everyone's assumptions, Zhao Hao will definitely try his best to refuse, and everyone will take the opportunity to fall into the well, asking the official family to demote him to a knighthood, and then leave it idle, saving him from tossing and turning in the court.
Who knew that Zhao Hao really accepted the offer, not only did he accept the offer, but also came with a domineering "I have to be", the momentum was like a rainbow and impassioned, in contrast, the officials who jumped out one by one to seconded the proposal were like clowns, ridiculous.
For a while, not only the hundred officials were stunned, but even the Jurchen envoys showed puzzled looks.
"Among the Nanren clan, there is such a very stylish person, although he is young, he is a man!" Ulin replied to Zanmo secretly praised in his heart, and his face unconsciously showed a look of respect.
Zhao Ji, who was above the court, was also stunned and at a loss.
Although he was extremely angry in his heart about Zhao Hao's obstruction of the Songjin Alliance, he still believed in Lin Lingsu's "Dharma Protector" after all, and he never expected Zhao Hao to be so fierce that he actually took the initiative to agree, which made him embarrassed.
Xu Churen, Jin Chongyue, Lao Chong and Xiao Chong of the Qing School, although they were extremely resentful of the treatment suffered by Zhao Hao, they were helpless, after all, Zhao Hao had taken the initiative to agree, and it was impossible for him to go back on his word.
As for the other courtiers, although they were shocked, they wished that Zhao Hao would never return.
It's just that what they don't know is that today they jumped out like clowns, and a few years later, a catastrophe is coming, and there is no way to regret it......
Above the court, Zhao Ji looked at Zhao Hao in a daze, the expression in his eyes was extremely complicated, and he said slowly for a long time: "Since my nephew is so loyal to the country...... Permit! ”
Wu Lin took a long breath and saluted Zhao Hao respectfully: "Contemptible people welcome Your Excellency on behalf of Dajin!" ”
Scattered the dynasty, and the hundred officials retreated out of the dynasty in turn.
In the empty hall, only Zhao Hao and others remained.
Jin Chongyue, Xu Churen, Wu Min and the brothers of the breeding family greeted Zhao Hao: "Son......"
Zhao Hao smiled slightly and said: "You don't have to say much, tonight a certain banquet will be held in Fan Lou, and then we will discuss." ”
The crowd nodded, and after giving the salute, they also dispersed.
Zhao Hao slowly walked out of the court hall and ran to Xuande Gate, but found that by the stone bridge in front of him, a figure was waiting, it was Tong Guan.
Zhao Hao slowed down his pace and slowly walked past Tong Guan.
"If Childe needs help, just ask." Tong Guan said in a low voice.
Zhao Hao didn't speak, just nodded slightly, continued to move forward, and walked towards Xuande Gate.
……
Fan Lou.
Zhao Hao, Lao Chong, Xiao Chong, Jin Chongyue, Xu Churen, Wu Min and other six people gathered in a pavilion to discuss the matter of making gold.
"Childe may be able to hold on to his illness and refuse this matter......" Xu Churen said cautiously.
Zhao Hao smiled faintly: "It's just an envoy to Liaodong, even if it is a matter of life and death, how can I, Zhao Hao, lose my trust in the world?" ”
Everyone was silent for a while, and the look of respect in their eyes became more and more intense.
In fact, after all, Zhao Hao was sent to Liaodong as an envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, and when he really arrived at Huining Mansion, the Jurchens might make it difficult for Zhao Hao, but it was unlikely that his life would be in danger.
The real danger is in the shadows.
From the Song Dynasty to Liaodong, it is necessary to pass through the Bohai Sea, which is too dangerous and variable, there may be real pirates, there may be pirates pretended to be Liao or Jin, and there may be storms, Zhao Hao died at the hands of real and false thieves for no reason, or died in the storm, it is very probable.
Even if he escaped his life by luck, this trip to Liaodong is destined to be a humiliation for Zhao Hao, and the Jurchens will definitely sit on the ground and make it difficult in every way, after all, the Jurchens are unstoppable in breaking Liao, and the Great Song Dynasty has no hole cards for negotiation.
The seed master Dao pondered for a long time, and finally spoke: "I have a plan, maybe I can reduce the danger of my son on the way and arrive in Liaodong safely." ”
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they said in unison: "Please come quickly." ”
The master of the Tao obviously came prepared, took out a sheepskin scroll from his sleeve, spread it on the table, and slowly unfolded it, only to see the mountains, plains, checkpoints, cities, villages, avenues and trails and the route map of Bohai Bay in the northern part of the Great Song Dynasty, all displayed in front of everyone one by one, and the painting was extremely fine.
The planter lowered his voice, pointed to the terrain on the sheepskin scroll, and said something slowly.
Everyone pondered for a while, and they all praised it.
"The old man is really thoughtful...... Please ask the old breed to select a hundred fine horsemen from the Sanya Forbidden Army and go to Liaodong with me. Zhao Hao said.
The planter frowned slightly, and said, "Hundred people...... I'm afraid it's not enough, it's extremely dangerous after all. ”
Zhao Hao said: "The soldiers are not the many, with all due respect, the Sanya Forbidden Army has indeed been much weaker in recent years, and it still needs to be rectified by the old ministers......"
The seed master said no more, and immediately agreed: "Very good, then I will select a hundred people from my own soldiers, and Naruda originally followed Gongzi for more than half a year, so he was led by him." ”
Zhao Hao was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.
The forbidden army of the Beijing division may be extremely weak in combat, but the pro-soldiers of the division are all elite soldiers in a hundred battles, and their combat effectiveness is unquestionable, and they are led by Lu Zhishen.
……
Back in the house, Zhao Hao clicked on a transmission note and began to transmit the sound to Tong Guan.
"Tong Shu Xiang."
"Childe...... The old slave is here! ”
Tong Guan's respectful voice came from there, and Zhao Hao's heart was a little relieved, although this guy was one of the six thieves, since he surrendered, his loyalty to himself has not diminished.
Zhao Hao said: "Two hundred horsemen were selected from the Baiqi soldiers and went to Liaodong with me." ”
Tong Guan was stunned for a moment, and then responded: "The old slave obeys the order of the son." ”
"Yang Keshi personally leads the army, in addition, Han Lao Wu must also follow, there must be no mistake!"
"The old slave obeys!"
Perhaps, this time on a trip, Zhao Hao has already made a bloody ...... If he can't return safely, the meaning of these famous generals is nothing more than to let the Southern Song Dynasty toss more, and in the end, it will be difficult to avoid the shame of Jingkang, and he will be powerless to stop the sorrow of Yashan.
However, for Tong Guan, this time it can be regarded as an open-mindedness.
More than 200 Bai Xuan soldiers followed Zhao Hao as an envoy, and it was impossible for Wang Hao, Liang Shicheng, Li Bangyan and others not to know, which would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the same camp, but Tong Guan couldn't care about it anymore.
Many years later, he deeply felt how wise this choice was.
……
Jinyi Weifu Ya, for this trip to Liaodong, is also in full swing preparations.
Zhao Hao ordered fifty people from the remaining four battalions to follow except for the Qianlong Battalion. Jinyiwei has developed to the present, and there are only 3,000 people, the base is too small, and Jinyiwei is not good at fighting, so only 50 masters with more than 60 forces were selected. Although the rest wanted to swear to follow the commander to the death, Zhao Hao did not allow it.
In addition, Zhao Hao gave Qianlong Ying an extremely important task, that is, to take the opportunity to spread public opinion, expand influence, and resist the pressure of the imperial court to put Zhao Hao under the pressure of the imperial court, and kill the Jurchen envoys on the street to avenge the courage and uprightness of the dead people, and because of this, he was suppressed by the imperial court and the Jurchens, and resolutely went to Liaodong to envoy Jin Guo to see death as home, and did everything possible to publicize it.
In the Qianlong camp, there is no shortage of capable people, among which there are more masters who are good at storytelling, after some oil and vinegar, the whole story is told vividly, so that the listener's blood is boiling, impassioned, and the protagonist in the story, the son of the Great Song Dynasty, is being commanded by the doctor, the Zhongwu general, the white horse founding uncle, and the Jinyi Wei command to make Zhao Gongzi have a strong sense of admiration.
He wants to become a real hero in the eyes of the literati of the Great Song Dynasty and the people, and he is a young hero only in legends, which is more in line with the aesthetic standards of the people of the world for heroes.
It was only on the arrangement of the commanders of the battalions later that there was a small episode.
According to Zhao Hao's plan, Zhao Ling, Fang Baihua, and Aoki Daochang stayed in Beijing and sat in the Jinyi Guard Mansion to avoid changes. And Wu Song and Liang Hongyu followed him to the Jurchen.
Wu Song and Liang Hongyu's strength is the highest among the five, and since Han Shizhong made the trip, Zhao Hao also wanted to match this pair of famous generals in history, so he let Liang Hongyu accompany him.
As a result, the first to protest was Zhao Ling, he was originally a general of the Zhao Mansion, and has always been loyal to Zhao Hao, since Zhao Hao crossed, he is almost inseparable from Zhao Hao's left and right guards, every time Zhao Hao travels, there must be his shadow around him, there has never been a shortage, and now Zhao Hao let him stay in Bianliang, which makes Zhao Ling's heart extremely uncomfortable.
However, Zhao Ling was finally persuaded by Zhao Hao that this loyal old general was reasonable and righteous after all. Jinyiwei is Zhao Hao's place to settle down in the capital, it is difficult to rely on Aoki Dao Chang alone, he is not only strong in martial arts, but also extremely careful, Zhao Hao will be at ease a lot when he sits in Bianliang.
It's just that Fang Baihua is there, but he doesn't give up, and insists on accompanying him.
"My life is given by you, wherever you go, I will follow, otherwise, you will kill me!"
This is what Fang Baihua said when he drew his sword and put the blade on Zhao Hao's neck.
Zhao Hao finally gave in.
It's not because of the cold sword around his neck.
Instead, he saw the resoluteness in Fang Baihua's beautiful eyes, and there was an indescribable feeling.
He believed that even if he forcibly ordered Fang Baihua to stay, this sturdy woman would forcibly appear in his itinerary and be unstoppable.
