Chapter Eighty-Three: The Thief Star

"Cai Xiang is right, now is a good opportunity for us to attack Liao," after taking a deep breath, the Duke of Jing and the privy envoy Tong Guan, the chief eunuch, replied: "There is the Jin State in the north to attract the main force of the Khitan cavalry, and we just take the opportunity to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun south of the Great Wall, this is a great cause that even Emperor Taizong has not completed, if you do it, then your achievements can be compared to Taizong......"

After listening to the answer of the great eunuch Tong Guan, Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, who had been told by Cai Jing to be "itchy", had an impulse in his heart that "this battle must be fought", but as the final decision-maker, he was not willing to casually reveal the "surging" in his heart.

After twenty seconds of contemplation, Huizong raised his eyes and looked at the three important ministers sitting below, and said in a deep voice: "However, the two countries of Western Xia and Tubo in our northwest are restless all year round, and the troops stationed there can't be withdrawn, and the civil uprisings in the southern states have to be continuously suppressed, and now, the army that we can mobilize is not enough to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun......"

"Official, the minister has a countermeasure...... Huizong just finished speaking, Cai Jing, who had been following Zhao Ji for decades, immediately figured out the emperor's attitude, so he answered.

"Cai Xiang, please talk about ......" As soon as he heard that Cai Jing had a good idea, Song Huizong Zhao Ji was instantly overjoyed.

"Back to the official's house, the minister thinks that since the southern people can't be suppressed in a short time, it's better to do this, the imperial court recruits those rebellious people with a lot of money, enlists them, and then, sends them as the vanguard to the sixteen states of Yanyun in the north to consume the Khitan army, they win is good, you can select elite soldiers from them to join the forbidden army, it doesn't matter if you lose, this is equivalent to the Khitan soldiers eradicating those chaotic people for us......" Cai Jing, who was full of poisonous tricks, replied to Zhao Ji of Song Huizong in a yin voice.

"Good idea...... "I only thought about recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun, and Zhao Ji, the Huizong of his ancestor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, didn't treat those chaotic people as people at all, and after hearing that his prime minister had an idea that could consume the Liao army and the chaotic people at the same time, he immediately applauded, and asked Cai Jingdao: "Which minister Cai Xiang thinks can complete the matter of recruiting the chaotic people?" ”

To tell the truth, Song Huizong Zhao Ji's original idea was that since this good idea was thought up by Cai Jing, then he should be sent to recruit the troubled people, but after thinking about it again, Song Huizong was reluctant to send Cai Jing, after all, Cai Jing is seventy-two years old this year, and he wants to send him to such a far place.

"The minister thinks that such a major event must be completed by Jiangming...... Cai Jing squinted at Wang Huang for a while, and replied, the "Jiangming" mentioned in his mouth is Wang Huang's word, Wang Huang, the word Jiangming.

"The ...... in the Imperial History" After listening to Cai Jing's recommendation, Zhao Ji of Song Huizong turned his attention to Wang Huang and asked him.

"For my Great Song Dynasty to defeat the Khitan barbarians as soon as possible, the minister is willing to go to the ......" Without waiting for Song Huizong to finish speaking, Wang Hao got up and knelt down and kowtowed.

"Good, good, good...... Yu Shi Zhongcheng, please ......" After listening to Wang Hao's answer, Song Huizong, who was satisfied, smiled and nodded in response.

After "Xie Guan's ......" kowtowed again, Wang Hao got up and returned to his seat, and glanced at Cai Jing with a grateful look in his eyes.

The reason why Wang Hao will thank Cai Jing is because Wang Hao understands that going south to recruit the troubled people is definitely a good opportunity to make a fortune, and he knows very well that the imperial court wants to recruit the troubled people, what does it rely on, of course, it is bought by a large amount of real money, silver, grain and cloth, as long as he uses a little means to deduct a little from those real money, silver and grain cloth, then he will not make a fortune......

The more he thought about it, the more excited Wang Hao became, he couldn't control his facial nerves, and the corners of his mouth twitched, looking like he was about to be paralyzed.

Fortunately, at this time, Cai Jing and Tong Guan's attention was all on Song Huizong, and Song Huizong's attention was "wandering outside the world", neither of them noticed Wang Huang who twitched the corners of his mouth, otherwise, Wang Huang at this moment must be a big ugly.

After more than a minute of "fugue", Song Huizong's "brain" finally returned to him, and suddenly, he frowned slightly and asked: "Do you want to discuss this matter of Jin Guoguoshu with the rest of the ministers in the court, after all, such a major event ......?"

"Officials can't," as soon as Song Huizong's words fell, the great eunuch Tong Guan spoke out to stop him: "Such secrets related to the Three Kingdoms, of course, the less people know about it, the better, if this matter is spread out of the court and known to the Liao State, then ......"

"Well, what Jing Guogong said is very true," Song Huizong, who felt that what Tong Guan said was very reasonable, squinted his eyes and said after pondering for a moment: "Is Jing Guogong willing to secretly send an envoy to Jin Guo to convey our ...... of being willing to attack Liao together?"

"Go to the soup and go to the fire, don't hesitate to ......" As soon as he heard that his boss gave him a task, he thought about "going further", and knelt down to accept the order.

"Okay, Jing Guogong is really my loyal minister of the Great Song Dynasty, let's be even......" Song Huizong, who had solved another problem, felt more relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Just when Song Huizong and Zhao Ji were about to "travel to the outside world" again, a low voice came from outside the pavilion: "Yuan Miao Zhenren has arrived in ......"

It turned out that it was the little eunuch standing guard outside the door who made that low sound, and after he saw Si Tian Supervisor Zheng Lin Lingsu coming over with a flying stride, he quickly called out the other party's name.

As soon as the little eunuch's words fell, Emperor Huizong, who was sitting on the dragon chair, saw that Lin Lingsu walked into the pavilion with a nervous expression, this was the first time that Zhao Ji of Song Huizong saw such an expression on Lin Lingsu's face, after all, Lin Lingsu, the "Yuan Miao Zhenren" in the past, always looked like a light and breezy look, like today.

"Give the seat ......" After first instructing the little eunuch who was waiting next to him to move a chair for Lin Lingsu, Song Huizong asked Lin Lingsu puzzled: "Real person, ...... are you?"

"The official family," Lin Lingsu, who didn't sit down at all, first knelt down and kowtowed to Song Huizong, and then knelt down and replied: "Tonight, the minister carefully observed the celestial phenomena and found that there were thieves sweeping Dou and Niu Ersu, and there were thieves sweeping Zhang and Wing Ersu......"

Lin Lingsu said that the "thief star" is the broom star, in the Great Song Dynasty, the appearance of the broom star, means the big bad luck, and the broom star sweeps the two stars corresponding to the north of the Dou and Niu, and the corresponding to the south of the Zhang and Wing two stars, which means that the big bad luck will appear in the north and south of the Great Song Dynasty.

"What does a real person mean ......" Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, who was also proficient in astrology, was shocked by Lin Lingsu's words, and he did not hesitate to ask.

"Back to the official's house, the celestial signs indicate that there will be a big war between the north and the south, and the ministers ...... It took five years for Yang Shou to hang up, and the hexagram showed ......" Lin Lingsu replied with a frightened look in his eyes......
