Chapter 171: Nashua State

Wei looks back! , Dan walked into the atrium from the corridor. Wear a boiled official robe. Horizontal sword. He was more than six feet long, and compared with him and northern men like Zhi Zhonggu, although he was a little shorter, he was no more than thirty years old, and his face was pale. Short beard, magnificent, extraordinary demeanor. As soon as Zhi Yanzhi saw the visitor, he quickly stepped forward and held his hand and said, "Brother Deyuan, I haven't seen him for many years." Why is this here? didn't wait for the other party to answer, and said to himself, "After ascending to the throne, I remember that Brother Xian was sent to Shaanxi to make a county order?" ”

The man smiled and said, "I just stepped down, and by the grace of God, I returned to Beijing to remove the post of privy councilor." After that, he withdrew his right hand that was held by the other party, bowed for a long time, and said that he had seen the signing of the book.

Zhi Yanzhi held his hand again, behaved very closely, and said with a smile: "My brother and my brother are on the same list, why do you want to see outside?" ”

"Although it was the same year. But the adults occupy a second-grade high position, and the lower officials are only sixth-grade positions. This testimony shall not be abolished. "If it is someone else, one is in a high position, and the other is a low official, and he is definitely ashamed of himself. But this person does not have the slightest inferiority complex, and has his own demeanor when talking and laughing. Xu Wei looked at this person for a long time, guessing in his heart which celebrity he should be?

The two acquaintances talked happily with each other, but they left Xu Wei aside. Zhi Yanzhi suddenly remembered, pulled the man over, and introduced him: "Ziang, I introduced you to you, this is the same year as me, surnamed Zhang Mingjun, the word Deyuan, and a native of Mianzhu, Sichuan." ”

Zhang Dan? guessed that it must be a famous minister on the occasion of the Two Song Dynasty, and sure enough, it was not. If it is said that during the Northern Song Dynasty, Li Gang was the representative of the main battle faction, then after arriving in the Southern Song Dynasty, he counted this Zhang Jun. At that moment, Xu Wei clasped his fists and saluted: "Fortunately." "The Privy Council is a sixth-rank officer, the same rank as him.

When Zhi Yanzhi was introducing him, Zhang Dan stretched out his hand to stop: "Be fair and slow, and the lower official will guess it."

"Oh? Very good! I think that back then, you and I were on the top together, and my brother predicted the future of the same Jinshi, and most of them were in the middle of the words. It can be seen that the virtuous are not only wise. Guess who this is? Zhi Zhonggu said with a smile.

Zhang Jun looked at Xu Wei. Lang said: "This little official should be in the year of the weak crown, although he wears an official robe and a black veil, he can hardly hide his heroic spirit, and he should be a person in the army." Recently. Signing a letter to defeat the gold thieves outside Beijing, there is one person, leading 20,000 royal divisions, robbing the Jin army grain camp at night, and doing his best. And the gold thief returned to the division for first aid, and formed a strict battle to resist, when the danger came, he fought with the soldiers, and his body was wounded by more than a dozen, and Tokyo was shocked. It can be described as a fight to become famous and turn the tide! The surname is Xu. Mingwei, line nine, the word is ang. It must be this one. ”

Orihiko laughed when he heard this. Xu Wei also smiled: "Don't dare to be."

"Brother Deyuan is like a torch, this is Xu Wei and Xu Ziang." Orihiko laughed constantly, and it seemed that he met his old friend by chance in Tokyo, and he was very happy.

Another round of gossip. It's nothing more than folding Zhang and the two reminiscing about the past. praised Xu Wei again. Zhi Zhonggu turned his words and asked, "Brother Fang only said that it was a coincidence"

"Oh, I am on the order of the Privy Counsellor of Xu to invite the Prime Minister to the Privy Mansion to discuss matters. Unexpectedly. One to the atrium. I saw that Xianggong and Ziang both looked up at the wall, so there was this word. Zhang Jun said, and then led the two in. At present, although most of the emperors and ministers who fled south have returned to Beijing, the officials insist on purging, so the shortage of personnel in the various government offices in Tokyo has not been completely resolved. A huge cardinal mansion actually looks a little deserted.

When you get to one place, it's more lively. Officials in blue and red official uniforms came and went, and the little officials in the gauze hats walked in the meantime, Zhang Dan introduced, this is the 12 rooms of the Privy Council, and all major military affairs are delivered here first, and after submitting the instructions of the privy councillor, they are called back to the 12 rooms to be handled by Cao.

After twelve rooms. Walking through the corridors, Zhang Jun greeted his colleagues from time to time, and several of them knew Xu Wei and nodded their heads. When he arrived at a compound, Zhang Jun stopped to tidy up his clothes and said: "The cardinal minister hates laziness, but he doesn't dare to be careless. When the two of them heard this, they did the same. It wasn't until the crown was flat and there was nothing that he entered.

Fang stepped into the Great Interior. Then I saw that there were public cases inside, and the officials were buried in the middle of the cases, or read official documents, or worked hard to write. No one was seen talking. Walking more than ten steps to the south, there is a carved partition, the veil is half hanging, Zhang Jun stands in front and reports softly: "Qi Shu Xiang, Zheyan quality Xu Wei arrived." ”

"Oh, so fast? In. Xu Shao's voice came from inside.

Entering the room, but seeing the luxurious furnishings, desks, chairs and other colorful utensils are readily available, the privy envoy Xu Shao sat with his back to the south, wearing a purple official uniform, and at this time he had already gotten up, the gold belt around his waist was dazzling, and the fish bag was dazzling.

All three saluted. Xu Shao nodded, walked straight to the table and said, "Sit, concubine." ”

The three of them sat down, and Zhang Jun finished his errand and left on his own. The little official next to him stepped forward to serve tea, Zhe Yanzhi naturally didn't come to ask for tea, he pretended to have something in his heart, glanced at Xu Wei sideways, and saw that he didn't mean anything, so he said: "Prime minister, the lower official is here."

Before he could finish speaking, the Privy Counsellor had already handed him the paperwork, the ink had not yet dried, and the ink was still wet, apparently written just now. Zhi Yan was stunned for a moment, and took a closer look. This look. I saw him frown, and his face was happy! It turned out that this was a military order signed by the Privy Counsellor himself. With Orihiko as the deputy envoy of the Gyeonggi system. In charge of Gyeonggi military affairs, the generals in Beijing are controlled, and it is clearly written that from the day the military order is issued, the troops will be used against Huazhou immediately!

At this time, Yan Zhen was surprised and happy in his heart, and he was glad that the official family had finally made up their minds to want to look at Zongwang. Astonishingly, how did the Privy Councillor know what was on my mind? And how did it make the officials make up their minds?

"Zhonggu, when you wait for the battle a few days ago, you will thwart the enemy's fierce flames and turn the tide in one fell swoop.

But at this time, Tokyo still has hidden dangers. The enemy of Huazhou, if it can't be overcome, will change over time. This. You have to have a number in your heart, and you must not be careless. Xu Shao waited for him to read the military order, and then solemnly instructed.

Put away the general's order. Zhi Yan said with a straight face: "The lower official knows the severity, please rest assured, so today, the lower official will go to Huazhou to take command." ”

Xu Shao glanced at him. Thinking about it, Pian Xuan knocked on the table after that: "You might as well reveal a message to you, before a cup of tea." After receiving the report from the Xijing Left-behind Division, it was still said that the Jin people were in a hurry to detain the river and could not resist it, and some of the troops guarding the river began to flee, and the Duhan Shizhong Department was still fighting. ”

Xu Wei's heart moved. Xijing only came to report yesterday, and reported it again a day later, if it weren't for the situation, it would be extremely critical. How so? It seems that most of the Yellow River cannot be defended, and the river is about to be crossed. Maybe! This one. It's time to cross the river!

Zhi Yan was also shocked, and without saying a word at the moment, he got up angrily, bowed to Xu Shao, turned around and strode away. Xu Shaomu sent. sighed: "The text judgment is all over." The good ministers of the country are also, and the family is broken, and they will be ...... in this person. Let's talk about it. Seeing that his nephew was silent in thought, he asked, "How is the injury?"

"Flesh wounds, don't count," Xu Wei replied with him.

"The official family is also very concerned about your injuries, and he asked me about it today." Xu Shao said.

Xu Wei did not immediately bow to the forbidden middle and thank the emperor for his mighty grace, but said worriedly: "Privy Minister, when did Sticky Han arrive at the Yellow River?" ”

Xu Shao thought for a moment and replied, "Go to the middle of the lunar month." ”

"It's the beginning of the first month, which means that Sticky Han has been blocked in the east of the river for at least half a month, and he hasn't been able to force the crossing for more than ten days. The worry in Xu Wei's tone, Xu Shao felt the same way. The net trapped the wolf, and the tiger came again.

However, thinking of the 200,000 troops from Shaanxi Wangshi coming to help, Xu Shao felt a little relieved, and also comforted his nephew and said: "It's okay, the strong reinforcements of the Western Army are coming with the Jin Army, and the Ling Envoy is worried." If you can end the matter of Huazhou again. Tokyo should be worry-free. ”

Xu Wei nodded, I hope so.

"Oh. By the way, Zheyan Yao Pingzhong captured Huazhou, Uncle Zhang returned to defend Emperor Que at night, and he took over the defense of the fourteen southern counties of Beijing, Tokyo, and you Xu Shao stopped talking.

Xu Wei smelled the smell and said with a wry smile: "Transfer me to Jingxi?" ”

"Exactly." Xu Shao nodded, head.

"In the battle of robbing grain, Hujie suffered more than 9,000 casualties, and now I only have more than 30,000 troops in my hands, and a considerable part of them are the two rivers of the army, which has neither combat power nor discipline," Xu Wei shouted.

"Helpless. Even the squad is used, where are the soldiers? Although Xu Yuan and Xu Sheng rushed to the aid of Xijing to stop Sticky Han, according to my estimate, they are not very optimistic. At that time, if the slippery state is not broken, you will have to block it for a while. As long as the separation is not destroyed, everything is easy to say, how can Xu Shao not know the difficulties of his nephew? But there is no way, the Lianghe troops are dead and scattered, the strength of Tokyo is already limited, and the only Shaanxi army that can be counted on is still halfway, and at this time it can only push the Hujie Township Army, which has just experienced a hard battle, up.

"Yes." Xu Wei got up and hugged his fists.

In the end, it was his own nephew, Xu Shao couldn't bear it after all, and whispered: "The official family also knows your difficulties, and someone has already given you a meritorious service and is ready to reward you." It is said that the official family is more inclined to keep you by his side, and some officials have insight into the intention and say that Xu Weigong is great and should be promoted exceptionally. Some people even proposed that one step in place, go straight to the "palace in front of the marquis." Any idea what that means? This is to train you as a marshal of the three ya, which of the palace marshal, the riding handsome, and the step marshal is not honed outside for decades to become a boy? It also made you hit the opportunity, when the court urgently needed to employ people, and the official family favored you, look at this, you can become the commander of the three yas before you are thirty years old. ”

When Xu Wei robbed the grain, he didn't panic when he didn't come back to the rescue, but after hearing this, he suddenly lost his color. What's that? Leave me in Tokyo? If you have been in Beijing, even if your official title is important. In the end, it's still the care of the home. Even if he defeats the Jurchens this time, Song Jin's offensive and defensive momentum will not change in the short term. There was a second invasion of the south. There will be three or four times. I can solve it once or twice by luck, but who dares to guarantee that there will not be a day when the gutter will capsize? Moreover, there is no danger to defend in Tokyo, and the same is true for Hebei, so it is too risky to stay here. The most important thing is that the current national crisis is at the forefront. The imperial court is about to use military men to serve their lives.

After the war, the Jin people will not come back within two or three years, and the time will come. The trend of advocating literature and suppressing military force will inevitably make a comeback. When the time comes, it will be suspicious of the civilian clique in this big way. For example, the famous marshal Qiuqing of the Northern Song Dynasty started as a soldier and has always been a privy envoy. was attacked by the ministers like mad dogs, Qiu Qing was loyal, and the ministers couldn't catch the handle. Just make up some stories, what Qiu family's dog has long horns, the night light of Qiufu, there are more than ten zhang of yellow gas in the well of Qiuqing's house, rising to the sky, and so on. To put it bluntly, it is an insinuation that Qiuqing has different intentions. Song Renzong, who originally trusted and loved Qiuqing very much, had to expel him from the court under this barrage of attacks. Half a year later, the leader of the Song army died of depression."

Xu Shao saw that his expression was different. Smiled and asked, "What?" Looking at your expression, don't you like it? ”

"In front of the third uncle, don't tell lies. If you can repel the Jurchens this time. I'd rather go to the west. Xu Wei said truthfully.

Xu Shao heard this. With a smile on his face, he stared at his nephew for a long time. finally nodded and said, "Everything is with the third uncle." I'll arrange it. "He is in power, high and powerful, and gradually won the trust of the emperor and can speak. If he agrees to arrange. There is hope.

Xu Wei got up to thank him, and when he said goodbye and left, he prepared to return to Chen Liu to gather his subordinates, hand over the defense, and go to the western part of Beijing to garrison. The net wanted to leave, and suddenly asked with a smile: "Dare to ask, how did the privy minister say that the official family made up his mind?" "Yesterday, Zhao Huan summoned the three of him, although he was very encouraged, but in the end there was still no explicit edict, but today the Privy Council has issued a military order, it must be the words of the third uncle.

"I joined forces with the young prime minister to make a statement to the official family, only one sentence, if you can destroy the Jin army in the territory, bind the enemy chief in front of the palace. The world will be happy, and the four seas will return to the heart. Xu Shao said.

After hearing this, Xu Wei savored it carefully before saying goodbye. Ginger is old and spicy, and if you were yourself, it would be difficult to say this. When I first heard this. It's just mediocre, and everyone can say it. But if you think about it carefully, the meaning revealed in these words is what Zhao Huan wants most now.

To put it another way, that is, if such a great victory is achieved under the leadership of the emperor, then the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, the military and the people of the world, the farmers and the industry and commerce, and the people from near and far will rejoice and wholeheartedly support it. From now on, no one will be able to shake your authority! Including, the Emperor!

Zhao Zhen was forced by the situation and was in a hurry to escape, so he had no choice but to pass the emperor's throne to the crown prince Zhao Huan. But he was only in his forties, and he was in the prime of life. How can you be willing? And whether it is the capital or the locality, there are his old ministers. In case one day when the situation is calmer, he wants to restore again, what will Zhao Huan fight again? Yes, it is the will of the people!

You, Zhao Huan, were ordered to be in danger, just when the Jurchens entered the Kou and the mountains and rivers were broken. If you can lead the military and civilian resistance. Not only did you not cede the land, did not pay compensation, did not claim to be a vassal, but also defeated the invading army, which means that you are stronger than your Lao Tzu. Because he chose to flee when the enemy was present. Since you are stronger than him, then who would want him to return to the Golden Palace? Tong Guan? It's been a long time since I was in a different place. Cai Jing? It is said that he has died of illness in Tanzhou. Cai You? Also strangled to death. Other young people are not to be worried.
