"The old man is fifty and nine this year."

"The four sons are all adults, enough to start a household."

"As a military general, to be able to die on the battlefield, horse leather shroud, is the greatest luck, if in a few years, the old man can't hold a horse lance, can't ride a horse, linger on the bed, and even dress and eat to be served, what's the fun!"

Di Qing's eyes were red, "Erlang, you take care of your brother too much, whether your brother dies or not, it doesn't affect anything, but it's you, at this time, you can't have a half-point difference!" The big guys are looking at you! ”

Wang Ningan listened silently, and suddenly smiled faintly, "Brother Di, who is the big guy you are talking about?" ”

"This ...... Naturally, there are a lot of people! Di Qing took a deep breath and said slowly: "Over the years, Erlang has held up the sky for the generals, and now in the army, how many generals have been reused?" In the face of civil officials, there is no longer any need to grovel and linger. The big guy has your good in his heart. Let's say another disrespectful word, the saint dragon body is declining, this country will be His Highness sooner or later, and you are His Highness's master, as long as you can keep you, Jiangmen will have a good life for decades! For the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, for the sake of the court, and for the sake of the gate, you should not have a hard top with Your Majesty. ”

Di Qing said earnestly: "Let me lead the troops to fight, the sage is wise, he will change his course, don't be willful!" ”

Di Qing's words, with a strong taste of resignation, made people feel extremely sad and desolate. What is Di Qing? Is it comparable to Cao Bin and Pan Mei? He is a famous general who founded the country, but he still carried the black pot for Zhao Er, this is no way, Di Qing can only use his own enthusiasm and incomparable loyalty to warn Zhao Zhen, you are wrong! Your idea won't work!

Obviously, this is the best of both worlds, which can solve the dilemma of Wang Ningan and Zhao Zhen, but the price is too heavy, a famous general, just being sacrificed like this, it is really speechless!

"Brother Di, you mentioned His Highness, then I'm not welcome." Wang Ningan said: "Your Highness was taught by me, he was above the Golden Palace, insisted on his own opinion, and thought that he should march into the Western Regions, but he was reprimanded. ”

"Huh? Is there such a thing? ”

Wang Ning'an bowed, "I taught Your Highness, the disciple can tell the truth, can the master be inferior to the disciple?" Right is right, wrong is wrong. I am loyal to Your Majesty and regard Your Majesty as an elder, but I cannot ignore the whole situation in order to obey Your Majesty! And I dare to assert that His Majesty may not really want to attack Western Xia, it is entirely those people around him who constantly instigated and took advantage of His Majesty's weakness in seeking treatment to instigate His Majesty to send troops. ”

Wang Ningan said again: "As Your Majesty's courtier, I can't help fighting, and I must fight!" ”

"Erlang!" Di Qing said in a sullen voice: "What you said is right, but if you anger Your Majesty and give those villains a chance to take advantage of the situation and separate the feelings of the monarch and the minister, how can it be good?" ”

Wang Ning'an suddenly smiled, "Brother Di, Your Majesty may know me better than you, he will be happy to see my objection, no matter what, on the contrary, if I blindly welcome him, I may cause trouble!" ”

Regarding Wang Ningan's words, Di Qing said that he did not understand.

Speaking of the relationship between Zhao Zhen and Wang Ning'an, the relationship between this pair of monarchs and ministers is only more complicated than any pair of monarchs and ministers in the past.

First of all, Wang Ning'an has a huge power, so big that the emperor can't shake it, so it is not necessary to worry that Wang Ningan will be suspicious and excluded from the center of power, or even be eliminated by the emperor.

Zhao Zhen will never do anything to destroy the Great Wall.

It is true that Wang Ningan has strength, but his goal is not to replace him, but to promote his own set of things, realize his ambitions and ideals, and do not mind who becomes the emperor.

As for Zhao Zhen, he also hopes to change the law to become stronger, restrict civilian officials, and expand his territory...... These goals are the same as Wang Ning'an's, so from a certain point of view, there is a disagreement between their monarchs and ministers, a bit like a conflict between the two major shareholders of the board of directors, not a simple dispute between the monarch and the minister.

If Wang Ningan obeys Zhao Zhen and listens to him for everything, on the contrary, it will make Uncle Zhao suspicious, worried that Wang Ningan will have other thoughts, no longer the original pure heart, and will be dedicated to the court and the long-term plan of the country - if that is the case, it will be the real trouble!

"Brother Di, it's not so dangerous for me to go to the book, it's just that how the battle situation in Western Xia will be carried out may be a little repetitive...... All in all, you don't care, just tidy up your people, strengthen your defenses, and don't let the meat that reaches your mouth be lost. ”

Although Di Qing couldn't understand Wang Ning'an's words, he believed in Wang Ning'an's ability very much, maybe as Tai said, his worries were superfluous.

"Erlang, it's still the same sentence, you have to think more about the big guy, don't be rash!"

Wang Ningan showed a big smile, "Thank you, brother, you have to take care of yourself, don't take your life so cheaply!" You are the pride of my Great Song Warriors! ”

Di Qing hurried away, he didn't want Wang Ningan to see him crying.

Anyway, part of the reason why Wang Ningan made up his mind to go to the book was that he didn't want Di Qing to make senseless sacrifices!

Friends do it!

Although Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi may not be comparable!

I didn't live in vain in this life!

……

"Enlighten the saint, this is Wang Xianggong's recital."

took a thick bundle from the eunuch's hand, Zhao Zhen looked at it carefully, he has been old for the past two years, and his eyes have tears after looking at things for a while.

Therefore, Wang Ning'an played on it, and the handwriting was very large, which seemed to be not troublesome at all.

Facing the familiar font, Zhao Zhen suddenly lost a lot of anger, and on the matter, that kid just had a different opinion from himself, but his heart was still together......

"Wang Xianggong opposes sending troops, what information does your secret spy department have?"

Behind Zhao Zhen, there was a middle-aged eunuch, this person was very tall, very thin, with high cheekbones, and smooth eyes, he was the head of the secret spy department.

There are always poisoning incidents in the palace, and Zhao Zhen has long been disappointed in the Imperial City Division, and he secretly established the Secret Spy Division a few years ago.

Compared with the Imperial City Division, the Secret Spy Division is more mysterious, in addition to checking all kinds of intelligence and protecting the royal family, the Secret Spy Division is also responsible for military intelligence, especially for the Western Xia, they do not hesitate to spend money, and the effort is very deep.

"Qi Song Sage, according to the biography of the flying pigeon, Li Liangzuo executed thousands of people in Xingqing Mansion one after another, with different charges, but these people were dissatisfied with Li Liangzuo...... In addition, Li Liangzuo also moved treasures, grains and other materials out of Xingqing Mansion and transported them to the military division of Baimaqiang Town and the military division of Weifu in Montenegro further north. ”

After the report, the eunuch of the secret spy department immediately retreated to the side and said no more.

Zhao Zhen thought silently, these two pieces of intelligence are very critical, killing, large-scale killing, the forces representing Li Liangzuo have begun to disintegrate and waver, and they must rely on killing people to maintain.

As for the two military divisions of Baima and Montenegro, one in Yanchi and the other in Hetao, they are the two cash cows of Western Xia. In that case, Li Liangzuo planned to give up Xingqing Mansion, go to these two places, and continue to be at ease.

How could I let you go!

I have to say that although Uncle Zhao did not doubt Wang Ningan's intentions, he had doubts about Wang Ningan's judgment...... Maybe the time is ripe to destroy Xia, and the Great Song can send troops......

Zhao Zhen was undecided, and above the court, he was also caught in a controversy.

Among them, Sima Guang, the head of the household department, insisted that according to the original plan, it was only necessary to take the Hexi Corridor and open up the road to the Western Regions.

Sima Guang believes that it is already a great gain to be able to do this step.

If you manage it properly for another two or three years, you will be able to concentrate your people and horses, and you will be able to level the Western Xia in one fell swoop, and you will not take the road of winning and not losing, and you have to take risks, which is really not the work of a big country.

Sima Guang's talent is unparalleled, but this time he met his opponent.

Wang Anshi sang a duet with him.

At this moment, Wang Anshi also encountered a lot of trouble, he promoted the Qingmiao Law and the Fangtian Tax Law, and many gentry and officials were eager to eat his meat.

In the past six months, the impeachment of Wang Anshi has surpassed Wang Ning'an and ranked first on the list of the most hated officials, even Han Jiang, who opened a killing spree in Jiangnan.

Wang Anshi needs a big victory to consolidate his power and continue to implement the reforms.

Therefore, Wang Anshi wrote that he believed that Western Xia had lost the protection of Hengshan, and he was already meat on the chopping board, and he was vulnerable. He said that the imperial court could get 15 million yuan in military salaries to support the battle. Even if you can't destroy Western Xia this time, you will beat them to pieces. Becoming a nomadic tribe can't threaten the safety of the Great Song Dynasty.

Expelling Western Xia from the Great Wall and recovering the Hetao became the best reason to support Wang Anshi's idea.

At this time, above the court, Wen Yanbo was also undecided, of course he didn't dare to offend Wang Ning'an, but let him offend Zhao Zhen for Wang Ning'an, and the old guy was unwilling.

And just like that, things came to an impasse.

After holding it for two days, Wen Yanbo finally came up with a bad idea.

"Your Majesty, since Wang Xianggong insists on opposing the use of troops, the old minister thinks that maybe he should send someone to talk to Wang Xianggong, and by the way, take a look at the situation, if it is really as Wang Xianggong said, you might as well slow it down, and if you have the opportunity, you will immediately raise troops." Wen Yanbo peeked at Zhao Zhen's face and found that the emperor didn't seem to be angry, and he was even bolder.

"Your Majesty, the personnel sent must be weighty enough to understand military affairs, and the old minister has the courage to recommend a person, he is Chen Shengzhi, the squire of the military department, this person once knew the Hanyang Army, knew Dingzhou, and knew how to do the army, and he was a rare talent!"

After listening to this, Zhao Zhen remained silent, and after a long while, he said slowly: "It's just him, I'm afraid I won't hear the truth!" Uncle Zhao said to himself: "Add two more people, let Tan Xian and Jie Du envoy Gao Zunyu go together!" ”

When Wen Yanbo heard this, he secretly calculated in his heart, Chen Shengzhi represents a civil official, Tan Xian is a eunuch, has been a prisoner for ten years, and knows military affairs better than ordinary people, as for Gao Zunyu, he is a general.

The three of them happened to contain each other to ensure that the news sent was accurate and would not deceive the court.

"Your Majesty's arrangement is extremely proper, and the old minister thinks it is feasible!" Wen Yanbo immediately chimed in.
