Li Gang's dismissal of the prime minister was undoubtedly like a boulder falling into a pond, which caused huge waves in the government and the opposition, and the reason for Li Gang's dismissal was that he failed to prevent the southward movement, which obviously could not convince the public.

Since last year, the large-scale southward migration has been exhausted by the powerful and the tycoons, and now they suddenly want to stop the southward migration of ordinary people, which is neither reasonable nor reasonable, and finally at the cost of a prime minister, which makes people have to give birth to some kind of conspiracy theory speculation.

Li Gang's resignation as prime minister is undoubtedly a major setback for the main battle faction, especially Geng Nanzhong, the main force of the main peace faction who replaced Li Gang as prime minister, which made the ministers of the government and the opposition have a lot of worries about future negotiations.

Li Gang left the capital at night, did not alarm anyone, at night, the Xinzheng Gate slowly opened, Li Gang and several entourages rode through the urn city, towards the city gate, he finally looked back at the capital, his heart was full of ambition melancholy.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves from behind, and a cavalry passed through the inner city gate and galloped towards the urn city.

"Brother Boji, please stay!" Someone shouted from behind.

Li Gang stopped the war horse, he heard this voice, it was Li Yanqing who was calling him.

An inexplicable feeling suddenly surged in his heart, and his nose became sour.

After a while, Li Yanqing rode over at a gallop, restrained the war horse, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "Why did Brother Bo Ji leave Beijing at night?" ”

Li Gang sighed, "The imperial court requires me to leave the capital today, to pack up during the day, to go through the formalities of going to work, and only to leave the capital at night." ”

"But fifty miles west from the city gate is deserted, and there is no place to stay, if you encounter thieves, the consequences are unimaginable, didn't Brother Bo Ji think of the potential danger here?"

Li Gang's face changed, of course he understood what Li Yanqing was secretly referring to, it was not a thief, but someone would pretend to be a thief to assassinate himself.

Li Yanqing said again: "I will send a team of cavalry to escort Brother Bo Ji to Jingzhao, and when I get to Tongguan, there will be someone over there to greet him to ensure that Brother Bo Ji is safe and sound all the way!" ”

Li Gang was moved in his heart and arched his hand: "Thank you Li Dutong for your care, Li Gang should remember it in your heart!" ”

"Brother Bo Ji take care, I believe we will have the opportunity to fight gold side by side."

Li Gang nodded, "The Jin people are treacherous and untrustworthy, and the compromise faction in the imperial court is rampant, I hope that Li Dutong will protect himself well, and also save the life of my Great Song Dynasty, take care!" ”

After speaking, Li Gang turned his horse's head and urged the horse to rush out of the city gate, and a team of more than 100 cavalry also followed closely to escort Li Gang to the west.

Li Yanqing stood at the city gate, silently watching Li Gang go away, and Li Gang's departure made the anti-Jin faction in the court extremely isolated.

Li Yanqing did not feel depressed, the tragedy of history is not caused by some accidental factor, it is the inevitable result of years of accumulation, and it will not be reversed in a short time, but he is struggling to push the giant wheel of history, so that it is slightly biased to that side on the original trajectory, maybe it is that sentence, if it is not broken, it will not stand.

．．．．．．．．．．

On the morning of the next day, Li Yanqing came to the military office as usual, and in the past few days he was busy planning a defense plan along the Yellow River, which was another major move after the defense of the capital, Li Yanqing initially planned to invest 3,000 giant trebuchets and 10,000 cannons, deploy 200,000 heavy soldiers and 300,000 people, and at the same time create 100,000 earth-shaking thunderbolts.

Of course, the specific planning was not done by Li Yanqing himself, but Mo Jun led more than 30 military and civilian officials to be responsible for the establishment.

Li Yanqing came to the military office, but found that the military office was a little deserted, and there seemed to be a lot of people missing, so he asked the soldiers standing guard, "Hasn't Mr. Mo arrived yet?" ”

"Mr. Mo went to the south bank of the Yellow River with more than a dozen civil officials early this morning."

Li Yanqing patted his head, his recent memory is really a bit problematic, Mo Jun told himself only the day before yesterday that he was going to the south bank of the Yellow River for three days today, and he actually forgot about it.

"I see, is there anything else?"

"Just now, His Royal Highness King Kang sent someone to deliver a letter and put it on the table in the Metropolitan Commander's Room."

Li Yanqing was slightly stunned, King Kang Zhao Gou actually came to find him at this time, he pondered for a moment and walked quickly towards his official room.

Sure enough, there was a letter on the table in the room, there was no signature on the cover, only the words 'Tokyo Defense Envoy Li Dutong Jingqi', Li Yanqing tore open the cover, and inside was a note, asking him to drink tea at the Zhu Skull Teahouse at noon, Li Yanqing recognized at a glance that it was indeed the handwriting of King Kang Zhao Gou.

Since Zhao Huan ascended the throne, whether it is Zhao Gou, Zhao Kai or other royal families, they have been very silent, almost never showing up, and all of Zhao Huan's rewards have not involved the royal family, and both sides seem to maintain some kind of tacit understanding, but Li Yanqing knows that the reason why the royal family is silent is because Zhao Huan has arranged strict surveillance for his brothers, so Li Yanqing received a note from Zhao Gou today, and he was more or less surprised.

At this time, there was a report from the pro-soldiers outside: "Qiyu is the capital, Sun Xianggong is here!" ”

Li Yanqing hurriedly put away the note, greeted him, and saw Sun Fu walking in at the gate of the courtyard, Li Yanqing smiled and saluted: "Sun Xianggong is coming, Yanqing is not far away!" ”

Sun Fu smiled, "It's me who came abruptly, I should be sorry." ”

"Sun Xianggong doesn't have to be polite, please come in and sit!"

Li Yanqing invited Sun Fu to the reception hall next to the official room, the two sat down separately, and a personal soldier came in and served tea.

Sun Fu is also Zhao Huan's master, and belongs to the centrist faction in the imperial court, and Li Gang's original position is the same, advocating that peace can be negotiated with the Jin State, but to ensure the interests of the Great Song Dynasty, especially not to cede land, he and the scholar He Li, the privy envoy Gao Shen together became the three pillars of the centrists.

Sun Fu sat down and said to Li Yanqing: "Early this morning, the official family has officially approved the military merit book of rewards for soldiers, and decided to allocate 100,000 hectares of Shangtian from the official fields of Jiangnan East Road and Jinghu North Road to reward meritorious soldiers and compensate the fallen soldiers, and at the same time exempt from taxes for three years. ”

Li Yanqing smiled slightly: "Rewarding military merits with land has become the consensus of the government and the opposition and the three armies before, as long as the imperial court can allocate the reward land in time, I have no opinion." ”

"Thank you Li Dutong for your understanding, the household department will soon come up with a specific plan for land division, the Privy Council will allocate it to individuals within a month, and the states and counties will also actively cooperate to ensure the smooth connection of land rewards, and the plan for the promotion of officials is still being discussed, and the results will be available within ten days, please Li Dutong tell the generals not to be impatient, and the court will try its best to ensure fairness and fairness."

Li Yanqing just smiled faintly, his original war merit book report was only one, but it was split into two by the imperial court, needless to say, he could also guess that there would definitely be a moth in the subsequent promotion of generals, and he would wait and see.

"Li Xianggong was dismissed yesterday, I don't know how Sun Xianggong feels?" Li Yanqing brought the topic to Li Gang.

A complicated look flashed in Sun Fu's eyes, in fact, he knew very well the reason why Li Gang was deposed, the official family had decided to end the Song-Jin War by compromise and peace talks, and naturally could not tolerate the appearance of a spoiler like Li Gang in the Zhizheng Hall, in fact, Li Yanqing was the same, if it weren't for Li Yanqing's military power, I am afraid that he would also be driven out of the capital by the official family, and Li Gang was driven away, first of all, Li Yanqing and Li Gang's military-political alliance was dismantled.

Sun Fu smiled bitterly and said: "Recently, the situation in the imperial court is very complicated, after the official family ascended the throne, they faced the battle to defend Tokyo, and many of the things that were originally going to be done were put down, and now that the war is over, the things that were delayed before have also been put back on the table, and Li Dutong can be understood as the official family is rectifying the dynasty." ”

"Rectifying the dynasty is to let Li Xianggong dismiss the prime minister?"

Li Yanqing looked at Sun Fu sharply, "I really can't understand, can I ask Sun Xianggong to solve my doubts?" ”

Sun Fu pondered and said: "Today or tomorrow, some important ministers and eunuchs who made serious mistakes in the southern invasion of the Jin Kingdom will be liquidated, but this is bound to cause serious dissatisfaction of the Emperor Taishang, in order to calm the anger of the Emperor Taishang, the official family can only wronged Li Xianggong first, so that many people's mouths can be blocked, and the Emperor Taishang's heart will be a little balanced." ”

"Is Sun Xianggong leaking secrets?" Li Yanqing said with a smile.

"There's no leakage, Li Dutong is the commander of the military, and he has the right to know about this matter, and I also came to say hello to Li Dutong in advance."

"I wonder who will be liquidated?"

"Wang Hao bore the brunt of the attack, followed by Liang Shicheng and Li Yan, and Cai Jing, but Cai Jing is old, the official family may let him go once, and Cai You and Gao Yu, they will not escape this liquidation, although they are not in the court, it does not affect the court's punishment of them."

Li Yanqing was silent for a moment and said: "Gao Yu has a heavy army, and announcing punishment to him will be beneficial to the stability of the society?" Please consider this point carefully. ”

"I will definitely bring Li Dutong's opinion to the official family and the prefect hall, it's not too early, I will leave first!"

"Please wait for Sun Xianggong!"

Li Yanqing returned to his official room, took a letter and handed it back to Sun Fu, "The Intelligence Department arrested a secret agent of the Jin State yesterday, this is a letter found from him, it is a reply letter written by Wang Hao to Wan Yan Xianye, which is also ironclad evidence that Wang Hao colluded with the Jin State. ”

Sun Fu was overjoyed, took the letter and asked, "Where is the secret agent of the Jin Kingdom?" ”

Li Yanqing shook his head, "I'm sorry, the secret agent has committed suicide by taking poison, but now that you are searching Wang Hao's house, you will definitely be able to find the letter that Wan Yan Xian also gave him." ”

"Thank you Li Dutong, I'm leaving!"

Li Yanqing smiled and said: "Tell the official family for me, although Liang Shicheng stood on the wrong side at the critical moment, he once saved Concubine Zheng's life, and I hope the official family will deal with it as appropriate." ”

Sun Fu took a deep look at Li Yanqing, "I will report to the official family truthfully!" ”

He bowed to Li Yanqing, then took the letter and hurriedly left, Li Yanqing sent Sun Fu out of the gate, looking at Sun Fu's carriage away, Li Yanqing turned around and asked, "When is it?" ”

"It's almost noon."

Li Yanqing nodded, "I'll go out for a while, and I'll talk about it in the afternoon!" ”
