Chapter 693: Heavenly Might is unpredictable

Wan Qiaoyu had already stepped out, but when he heard this, he withdrew his feet, frowned, and opened his mouth: "What did you say?" ”

Zhang Jun looked a little puzzled, did I say something wrong? How do you look like this? Then he replied: "I said, the king of Xujun shook the two rivers, and the Hedong rebels listened to him in moderation. ”

"No, no, no!" Wan Qiyu shook his head again and again and walked back. After pulling Zhang Jun to sit down, he asked, "Another sentence, how did you say that the Hedong Righteous Army came?" What flag? ”

Zhang Jun became more and more puzzled, thought about it, and suddenly said: "Oh, because King Xu Jun once served as the head of the Hedong Righteous Army, the Hedong Righteous Army has always carried the banner of 'Xu' and regarded himself as a subordinate of the king. ”

Wan Qian listened to this, his face was uncertain, and he muttered in his mouth: "Xu Ziqi, Xu Ziqi ......"

"What? Questions? Zhang Jun asked instead. The other party's abnormal behavior surprised him.

Wan Qiyu was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled easily: "Oh, it's okay, just ask." As you said, it is also said that it is the king of Xu Jun, where did others get such a high prestige, right? ”

Zhang Jun didn't answer, glanced at the other party, got up and said, "If there is nothing to do, the lower official will go and get busy." ”

"Okay, okay, let's go." Wan Qiyun waved his hand. As soon as Zhang Jun left, he also got up quickly, walked around the hall with his hands behind his back, raised his head to the sky inside, bowed his head to the ground inside, and made a "tsk" sound from time to time in his mouth, as if he was thinking about something.

After a while, he suddenly shouted outward: "Go, please come to Senator Zhang!" ”

Zhang Jun is completely confused this time, Wan Qiao's verdict is wrong today, why is it so abnormal? After he returned to Wan Qiao's office hall, he entered the door and asked, "What is the matter with announcing the verdict and calling the officials?" It's not ......."

"Come, Deyuan, sit down." Wan Qiyun looked very enthusiastic and pulled Zhang Jun to sit down side by side.

After Zhang Jun sat down, he still asked, "What is it that makes the verdict care so much?" ”

Wan Qianyu didn't answer directly, but crossed his hands and smiled: "Deyuan, you have been in Sichuan and Shaanxi for some years, right?" ”

Zhang Jun's brows were almost twisted into a spinning top, what happened to this person today? Which tendon is wrong, what is the old yellow calendar with me? However, the other party was the chief after all, and he still replied: "Xia Guan has been in Sichuan and Shaanxi for many years, and he worked in the Xuanfu Division of Shaanxi earlier, and then he stayed in the Zhaofu Division in southern Shaanxi for a short time, and then he has been in the Xuanfu Disposal Division. ”

"I remember, you seem to have been sent from Xifu, right?" Wan asked asked.

"That's right, Xia Guan did serve in the Privy Council in the past, what? Wan Qian pronounced the judgment and asked what was this? Zhang Jun asked.

Wan Qiyu let go of his hand, took a breath, and said in a deep voice: "Deyuan, you and I are the same, we are sent by the central government, right?" Zhang Jun was silent, he vaguely felt something from the other party's words, and then thought of the previous things, he didn't dare to speak rashly.

"When we come to the local area, we not only serve our own duties, but also have the responsibility of being bright and bright for the imperial court." Wan Qian said.

"Hmm." Zhang Jun said lightly. He could already guess what the other person was trying to say.

"Since the Xuanhe Incident, the national crisis has been at the head, and many of the laws and regulations of this imperial court have been changed. The ancestral family law also has to be flexible, this is forced by the overall situation, there is no way, right. Wan Qiaowei is still paving the way for his later words.

"Hmm." Zhang Jun still responded.

"But then again, there are some major issues of principle that cannot be ambiguous." Wan Qian said.

Zhang Jun smiled, looked directly at the other party and said, "What do you want to say when the verdict is announced?" ”

Wan Qiwei did not evade the other party's scrutiny, and said with a smile: "What I want to say is that the current situation is not quite right. ”

"Oh? The lower officials don't know where to start with the verdict? Zhang Jun asked.

Wan Qiqiao snorted: "Fang Cai, you said that the Hedong Righteous Army all played the Xu Zi Banner?" ”

"Yes." Zhang Jun nodded in acknowledgement.

"That's weird, why do these rebels all play the Xu Zi Banner?" Wan asked again.

Zhang Junzheng said: "Didn't the official already make it clear enough?" It's just because King Xu Jun used to serve as a ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Wan Qiaoyu had already cut it off: "No, you didn't understand what I meant." ”

"What does the sentence mean?" Zhang Jun asked.

Wan Qiwei smiled meaningfully and asked, "In Deyuan's opinion, what kind of person is King Xu Jun?" ”

Zhang Jun's face changed slightly, and he replied: "The Northwest Pillar Stone, the Great Wall of the Country." ”

"Hmph, Deyuan has a high evaluation." Wan Qian said with a smile. "As you said, King Xu Jun has a high status, great power, and great prestige. Moderate 200,000 western troops, govern thousands of miles of land, and have the right to act cheaply. Moreover, the king of Xujun protects Shukou, restores the whole Shaanxi, and now conquers Hedong, which is like a broken bamboo. ”

Zhang Jun was silent, he knew that no matter how Wan Qian went, he would say what was in his heart.

Seeing that he didn't agree, Wan Qiyu coughed twice and continued: "Of course, I also know that King Xu Jun has always been unscrupulous and contemptuous of the imperial court. However, your words today have deeply worried me. ”

Zhang Jun looked at the side and said with a smile: "This makes it difficult for the lower officials to solve, they were originally to announce the verdict, why are they still worried?" ”

Seeing Zhang Jun's attitude, Wan Qian put away his smile and said solemnly: "Senator Zhang, you know what I'm talking about. ”

Zhang Jun did not admit it: "The lower official committee is really unknown. ”

The corners of his mouth twitched, and Wan Qiyu seemed a little displeased, but finally said: "Then I'll just say it." King Xu Jun holds the power of heavy troops, and the court naturally cares, but the situation is compelling, and there must be a person like him in the northwest. But now, it seems to be a bit too much. He is not in charge of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and even Hedong is under his orders, and all the righteous armies are playing the Xu Zi flag, which is very revealing. ”

"So, what do you want to do with the verdict?" Zhang Jun asked.

"What to do, the decision to enter the court, it is not your turn and I to think about it. What we have to do is to report the truth and send the situation to the court. Ask the Holy Lord and the ministers to consider it. "That's when he said his purpose.

"The verdict means that you want to impeach King Xujun? Is that what it means? Zhang Jun asked.

"You can't say that, you can't talk about impeachment, let's get the bottom of it." Wan Qian said.

Zhang Jun was silent for a while, and then said: "This is a matter of the verdict, and it is inconvenient for the lower officials to comment." The judgment must be made, and it will be done by itself. ”

Wan Qi's eyes narrowed: "You don't want to participate?" ”

Zhang Jun got up slowly and said with a smile: "The lower official is the counselor of the Xuanfu Disposal Department, and my duty is to assist the Xuanfu Minister and be in charge of the aspects, not to perform the duties of the supervisor." ”

Wan Qiyu sighed, as if he was very sorry: "Deyuan, you still don't know your position. ”

Zhang Jun didn't say anything anymore, saluted him, turned around and exited the office hall. Wan Qiao's chest rose and fell, and after watching him leave, he shook his head.

As the time entered May, the weather gradually warmed up, and the Hedong battlefield was also the same weather. Wang Yan led the Liangxing army to attack Li Zhi's former nest Weisheng army, and won four battles and four victories. Righteous teachers from near and far vied with each other, and the momentum was great for a while. Wang Yan seized the opportunity and quickly transferred his troops to attack Longde Mansion.

Throughout the southeast of the river, the Jin army's defenses collapsed. The people who were persecuted by the Jurchens welcomed the Western Army, looked forward to the stars and the moon, and finally looked forward to recovery.

And Xu Wei himself led a large army to storm Yangliang Beiguan. This pass is worthy of being a Xiongguan, and the western army has attacked several times before and after, including two large-scale attacks, all of which have been blocked. But the Taiyuan Basin is just behind the Yangliang North Pass, and such a huge attraction prompts the Zijin Tiger to endure casualties, and it is necessary to take the Yangliang North Pass and enter Taiyuan.

And in the north, the Liao army, which was brave all the way, ran into a hard bone. The battle with the army of Wushu in the territory of Datong Mansion shook Yanyun. However, in this battle, the Liao army's attack was thwarted by Wushu. The Khitans relied on the benefits of the horse army, and this time they came to the east, Yelu Dashi sent 110,000 horsemen. And to attack the three western states, Xiao Lira launched another 70,000 horsemen, Qing Yi sè's horse army.

And the corps of the vultures is a coordinated infantry and cavalry. He summoned a large number of powerful crossbows, thousands of Divine Arm Bows alone. This inflicted heavy losses on the Liao army, which attempted to crush the Jin army with cavalry. The so-called defeated cavalry, Chengye cavalry, after the defeat, the Liao army was able to avoid being chased by the Wushu army by virtue of its powerful cavalry strength. Retreat all the way to Yunnei Prefecture and reorganize the army to prepare for another battle.

It can be said that at this time, it is a critical time for the situation in Hedong. It is definitely impossible for the Liao army to defeat Yanyun in one fell swoop and succeed in recovering the country. However, it is possible for the Western Army to take Taiyuan in one fell swoop and determine the situation in Hedong.

This opportunity is rare for decades, there is a Liao army in the north to attract the main force of the Jin army, and most of the troops left in Hedong are second-line troops, with strong attacks on the weak, if you can't establish a special honor, where do you put the face of the western army?

And Xu Wei himself is also very confident in this. He not only has the strongest army, the best generals, but also has a stable rear, whether it is reinforcements, materials can be continuously delivered, and besides, how to fight, he is not bound by anyone.

Late May, Hangzhou.

The coup d'état that took place not long ago, although it was dangerous, the common people did not know much about it. Therefore, after the passage of time, everyone gradually forgot about this, how to live their lives, and how to live. The weather in May is most suitable for boating on the West Lake, admiring the lake and mountains, watching the white lotus out of the mud without staining, and the clear ripples without demons.

In the court, calm has gradually returned. Although the western army marched into Hedong, it was far away from Jiangnan after all, and there was nothing unusual about each performing its own duties from the emperor to the hundred officials. If I had to say anything out of the ordinary, it was that the emperor was too diligent.

Diligent government has always been an important criterion for evaluating an emperor. A diligent emperor may not necessarily be a good emperor, but an emperor who only cares about pleasure is definitely a faint emperor. Zhao Chen is very diligent, diligent to the point of working all day long. Originally, he was young and energetic, so there was nothing wrong with doing this.

But the problem is that Zhao Chen's body is not good enough, and he has some congenital deficiencies. With his small body, he cào holds state affairs day and night, and he can't stand the iron beating. During this period of time, although there were no major illnesses, minor illnesses continued. Every time the courtiers saw the emperor, they felt that he was not angry, and finally, some ministers began to persuade him to pay attention to the imperial body. But Zhao Chen was determined to recover and be a king of Zhongxing, so he didn't take these words to heart.

In the forbidden, the inner servant of the province guarded Shen Xuan, and walked on the cloister in a hurry. He maintained his usual bent posture with his head bowed, so it looked like he was diving. When he entered the Qinzheng Hall, he found that the emperor was not on the throne, and when he asked the attendant guarding the door, he found out that the official family had just gotten up, and it was estimated that he had cleaned his hands.

Hearing this, Shen Xue looked at the things he was holding in his hand, looking a little anxious. looked behind the curtain from time to time, waited for a while, and finally saw Zhao Chen, who was pale, pressing his stomach with one hand and slowly coming out.

"Official, what's wrong?" Shen Ze saw that the emperor's walking steps were a little fluttering, so he hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

"I can't tell, after breakfast today, I had a lot of diarrhea." Zhao Chen returned to the throne with his support and sat down heavily.

After Shen Xue sat down after serving him, he glanced at the things in his hand again, and stopped talking.

Zhao Chen seemed to think of something and asked, "Didn't you say that there is a book?" Taken? ”

Shen Ze handed over the book in his hand: "I took it, the book of the Sichuan and Shaanxi Xuanfu Judge Wan Qiao." "The book on this place, generally comes to the middle book first, the prime minister depends on the size, and reports to the emperor, and it is usually sent in person, why does this one have to be picked up by Shen Xue?

It turns out that Wan Qiao's book has not been written at all, but directly to the heavens to listen, the so-called "secret fold monograph", that's it. This was granted by Zhao Chen when he went to office, and it was only now that he used this power for the first time. So it's not hard to imagine that there must be something important.

Zhao Chen took the book, and he didn't care about the squirming in his stomach, so he unfolded it and looked at it. Shen Xue had obviously seen it, and he didn't peek at the side, but only paid attention to the changes in the official family's demeanor.

When Zhao Chen first saw it, he may have an uncomfortable stomach and occasionally showed an uncomfortable expression. But the further back I looked, the more solemn my expression became. Look at it, put it on the desk, the thin face is covered with clouds, and it is extremely tangled.

In a short period of time, Xu Wei has conquered Hezhongfu, Jiezhou, Jiangzhou, and Zezhou, and forced Han Chang, the pacification envoy of the Jurchen Hedong and the head of the soldiers and horses of all roads, to surrender. Since the start of the Song and Jin wars, such a high-level golden general is still the first one. What Zhao Chen said was a happy event, but he couldn't see the slightest jubilation on his face.

Shen Ze was not surprised because he knew what else was written in the notebook.

"But ......" Zhao Chen raised his head, but the rest of the words did not come out. I picked up Wan Qiao's notebook and looked at it a few times, and threw it back on the case. "Shen Ze, what kind of person do you say Xu Wei is?"

"This, it's hard to say the little slave." Shen chose to be embarrassed.

"What's not to say? I'll let you speak. Zhao Chen said.

"When the little slave used to serve the official family in the East Palace, he occasionally heard about the deeds of King Xu Jun. It's nothing more than winning a hundred battles and turning the tide. Therefore, there is no side impression except that it can be used to fighting.
