Chapter 684: The Centaur was really mobilized
Chen Shunzhi was ordered to enter Beijing to persuade Zhao Zhen that if it went well, there should be news within ten days. Wang Ningan carefully deduced it several times, and there was no problem with the big strategy.
Don't look at the war, many people like to see what kind of clever calculation, win more with less, in fact, since ancient times, nine out of nine wars, are relying on the strong to bully the weak war of attrition, fight the real strength, relying on absolute strength to crush, only a few special cases, have been recorded, widely circulated, most of the battles are decent, step-by-step.
What's more, the Great Song Dynasty occupies the right time and place, and it would be stupid not to crush the opponent with absolute strength.
The only thing that made Wang Ningan not very relieved was the three Qincha, who had already left Weizhou and went to Longzhou to inspect, and also went to Yinzhou and other places.
Wang Ningan always felt that the eunuch surnamed Tan was a dangerous person.
In recent years, the strength of the secret spy department has expanded rapidly, and as Zhao Zhen's confiner, Wang Ningan is not easy to interfere with, and there are still some bottom limits that cannot be broken between monarchs and ministers.
Just wait to send people away, and then go all out to deal with Western Xia!
Just when Wang Ning'an was thinking about it, someone suddenly came to report that it was Han Zhongyan who asked to see him!
"It's weird...... What is he here for? ”
Wang Ningan pondered silently, "Please, let him in." ”
Han Zhongyan hurriedly ran in, and the first thing he said when he met was, "Wang Xianggong, Tan Xian, they are going to send troops!" ”
……
The last time Han Zhongyan and Chen Shengzhi met, after they separated, they were also very emotional.
Dad is dead, and in the court, the people who were deeply favored by Han Qi in the past have hid aside, and they can not care about his identity, thinking of the old feelings, Chen Shengzhi is a rare and kind person.
Han Zhongyan dealt with the affairs at hand, so he chased Chen Shengzhi to take the initiative to visit, prepared a jar of excellent wine, and a set of glow-in-the-dark glasses, which he captured during the war.
According to the rules of the Song army, during the war, the gold and silver coins captured must be handed over in full, as for some small objects, such as daggers, wine jugs, bows, and saddles...... This kind of thing, you can keep one or two pieces as trophies, and the above will not be pursued.
In fact, Wang Ningan has a lot of gadgets in his collection, especially all kinds of daggers and knives, there are hundreds of them.
Han Zhongyan has been in the military camp for a long time, and he is also contaminated with the pride of martial arts, he wants to sing with Chen Shengzhi about wine, talk about the feelings of joining the army, especially talk about Wang Deyong's old generals, talk about the warriors who have died in battle in recent years, Han Zhongyan's view of martial artists has indeed undergone a very big change......
It's just that he didn't expect that Chen Shengzhi was actually sick, and he was so sick that he couldn't see anyone.
It's only been two days, how can you get sick?
Could it be that the water and soil are not adapted? Or what's going on?
Han Zhongyan waited for an hour, and saw that there was no chance, so he could only put down the gift and prepare to return to the barracks.
After he left, he walked out for an hour, and suddenly someone caught up with him, took Han Zhongyan, and went around the Qincha Xingyuan from the back door, mysteriously, to Chen Shengzhi's residence.
I haven't seen him for two days, Chen Shengzhi is a lot haggard, he twists his brows, stares, and paces back and forth on the ground, looking restless!
Raised his head sharply, saw Han Zhongyan, and immediately shouted: "Virtuous nephew, you have to help your uncle take a closer look!" ”
Han Zhongyan was still confused, "Uncle, what happened?" Worth your anxiety? ”
Before Chen Shengzhi finished speaking, he looked around, and then lowered his voice, "Something big has happened!" Chen Shengzhi inhaled hard, "Virtuous nephew, do you think Your Majesty wants to get rid of Wang Ning'an?" ”
Han Zhongyan was puzzled, "Uncle, what are you talking about?" I don't understand! ”
"Let me ask you, Wang Ning'an has such great authority, can Your Majesty rest assured? Will he plan to get rid of Wang Ning'an? Chen Shengzhi asked anxiously.
Han Zhongyan snorted, "Uncle, the little nephew doesn't know where you got the news, but judging from the little nephew, not only will His Majesty not move the prince and the prince, but will also give him greater authority and let him assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" ”
"Why?"
"Isn't that easy?" Han Zhongyan chuckled and said, "With the current situation of the generals, apart from Wang Ningan, who can suppress the civil officials?" In all fairness, is Your Majesty jealous of more civil officials, or is he jealous of Wang Ning'an? Uncle, don't forget, not long ago, there was a poisoning incident in the palace, and the spearhead fell on Wang Su, and how many people are behind Wang Su? Uncle, you are in the court, you don't know nothing, right? ”
There is a saying that the crow falls on the pig, and only sees others black, but does not see itself black.
Chen Shengzhi made this mistake.
As for Han Zhongyan, he jumped out of the officialdom and saw it very clearly.
Wang Ningan's authority is not small, but it is still too far from usurping the throne and seizing power. Especially after Zhao Zhen's personal expedition to Youzhou, the army recognized the emperor, and the little prince entered the Royal Academy, and many students of the martial arts academy were also loyal to the royal family.
They listened to Wang Ning'an, but they also listened to the royal family.
If Wang Ningan had to force these people to make a choice between the royal family and him, or risk the disapproval of the world to change the dynasty and rebel, these people would not be tired and crooked, not to mention them, even within the Wang family, they might not nod.
Han Zhongyan also discovered that Zhao Zhen, who seemed to be cowardly, actually had great wisdom.
He chose to tie up with Wang Ningan's system, and the two sides were connected, but Wang Ningan's hands and feet were tied. So it seems that Wang Ning'an has a lot of power, but it is far from the time to break up, and even said that the monarch and the ministers have to cooperate closely to suppress the civil officials.
Someone dares to use poison, plot against the little prince, plot against the royal ...... If Zhao Zhen unfortunately dies, the little prince is not yet an adult, and without a fierce master Wang to protect him, maybe Zhao Shu will not grow up!
So in Zhao Zhen's eyes, Wang Ningan may be at risk, but the civil official is a threat in front of him, and he has made a move, and more than once!
His few words woke up Chen Shengzhi.
The civil official is far from being as cute as it seems, and the emperor's trust in him is not unconditional.
"Then, then to put it that way, without the will of the saint, Tan Xian and Gao Zunyu, how dare they come nonsense?"
Chen Shengzhi suddenly became very regretful, when the two of them wooed him and said that when they wanted to send troops, he should have sternly refused, and as a squire in the military department, suppressed these two people and reported the situation to Wang Ningan, in that way, he made meritorious contributions and married Wang Ningan.
And you shouldn't choose to pretend to be unconscious!
Alas!
What a blind eye!
"Virtuous nephew, here's how it happened......" After Chen Shengzhi was sure that it was not the emperor who wanted to move Wang Ning'an, he immediately told Han Zhongyan what had happened before and after, and asked him to help with the details.
Han Zhongyan listened carefully, he frowned, his thumb and forefinger kept rubbing.
"Uncle, if my expectations are correct, it should be the secret spy department!"
"How?"
"They heard the news that Yuzang Huama was going to surrender, so they wanted to make meritorious service and ask for rewards."
"That's not right, either!" Chen Shengzhi was puzzled: "They told Wang Ning'an the news, and when Lingzhou was broken, wouldn't it be a credit?" Why is this happening? ”
"Uncle, what did you say the secret spy department was referring to?"
"Is this ...... The emperor's trust, of course. "As a civil official, Chen Shengzhi hates the secret service agency very much, the previous Imperial City Division is enough to see, and now there is a secret spy department, which is really annoying!
"If they want more power, they want the emperor to trust him unconditionally, but our Majesty, when he encounters big and small things, he still likes to rely on the prince Wang, and the secret spy department is just a tool. If the secret spy department told Wang Xianggong valuable news, and made meritorious contributions, it would still be the benefit of Wang Xianggong, and they would still not be able to get rid of their status as tools. ”
Chen Shengzhi thought about it, and there was indeed some truth.
"So, the secret spy department wants to monopolize the great merit, and use this opportunity to divide the relationship between the official family and Wang Ning'an's monarch and ministers?" Chen Shengzhi is not a fool, he lowered his head and thought about it, it is indeed possible.
After all, the emperor is old, the crown prince has also changed his name, and everything means that within a few years, the Great Song Dynasty will have a different day.
If you don't take advantage of this time to suppress Wang Ning'an, and wait until the new monarch ascends the throne, Wang Ning'an will appear in the court as the emperor's teacher, and at that time, what a secret spy department, bullshit!
If Wang Ning'an doesn't say a word, they will be disbanded obediently!
No, no...... Still doesn't make sense......
"Virtuous nephew, even if the secret spy department wants to fight with Wang Ning'an, then the political affairs hall shouldn't be involved?"
"Political Affairs?"
Han Zhongyan was also taken aback at this moment, after all, he had been away from the capital for a long time, and he didn't know much about the situation in the political hall.
It stands to reason that Prime Minister Wen Yanbo, as well as Wang Anshi, Wang Qi, and Liu Xin...... These people either have a good relationship with Wang Ning'an, or their strength is limited, how dare they look for death?
"Tan Xian showed me an order from the Political Affairs Hall, allowing them to control their men and horses and mobilize troops in case of emergency...... I'm ashamed to say that I was at a loss for what to do...... I, I pretended to be unconscious, and then Tan Xian and Gao Zunyu went to transfer troops. It's been almost a day since I walked. ”
This time, Han Zhongyan was also stunned, he shook his head vigorously, trying to calm himself down.
Someone from the political hall has also been involved?
Is it Wen Yanbo? Or Wang Anshi?
You must know that the political hall does not have the emperor's will, so you don't dare to come nonsense...... What the hell is going on?
Han Zhongyan was completely messy.
"Uncle, no matter what the situation is, it is a taboo in the army to transfer troops without authorization. Tan Xian is just a eunuch, and my Great Song Dynasty is not the Tang Dynasty. Wang Xianggong could behead Tan Xian with a casual order...... The little nephew thought that his uncle must not be mixed with Tan Xian, and he should immediately inform Wang Xianggong. ”
Chen Shengzhi's pupils constricted suddenly, "Virtuous nephew, do you have a grudge against Wang Ning'an?" ”
The implication is that how can I listen to your words, I am speaking for Wang Ning'an?
"Uncle, the little nephew witnessed Wang De die in battle with the old general, so many loyal warriors generously went to the disaster...... Of course I have an enmity with Wang Ning'an, but above us, there is also the Great Song Dynasty, and the world! The conquest of Western Xia, what a big deal, it can't be tolerated! Han Zhongyan said categorically, and after a while, Chen Shengzhi nodded.
……
Just as Wang Ningan asked Han Zhongyan for news, he suddenly came from Longzhou and Yinzhou to pass on the book.
It was reported above that the 30,000 family troops in Longzhou, as well as the Shenwei and Longwei in Yinzhou, and some of the original border troops, a total of nearly 70,000 people, had left the station...... The centaurs have really been mobilized!
