There was silence in the hall for a while, and all the people were shocked by the sudden news. Although this did not happen in the Great Song Dynasty, with the current situation of Song and Jin, it is impossible for Wanyan Liang to kill the monarch and usurp the throne without affecting the Great Song Dynasty, but it is not obvious yet.

There is only one exception, and that is Xu Wei, the king of the mighty county who has been sitting there in contemplation. It's not that he has the ability to collapse in front of Taishan and not change his color than others, but he has long known that Wan Yan Liang will do this kind of thing. Wan Yanliang is the famous "King of Hailing", famous for his ambition, lust, and talent. Historically, after Wan Yan Liang killed Jin Xizong and became self-reliant, he continued to implement large-scale reform measures in the Jin State, continued to sinicize, and never forgot the southern conquest to destroy the Song Dynasty. Later, he finally launched an army of 600,000 to invade the south, but unfortunately this battle did not end for him, but fulfilled the reputation of a life. Not only that, Wan Yanliang was even rebelled by his ministers in this battle and lost his life.

Xu Wei is not thinking about how the Great Song Dynasty will deal with the southern invasion that Wan Yan Liang may launch in the future, but thinking, such a big thing, Wan Yan Liang will do it? Just did it without any scruples?

After a long time, Zhang Jun sighed: "Don't blame us for calling Di Yi, the Jurchens have been killing and killing over the years, and those who have died are their own flesh and blood." I think back then, Ah Gu fought against Liao, and he was also a hero, but his children and grandchildren ......"

Xu Wei smiled when he heard this, isn't this fifty steps and a hundred steps? In the history of the Central Plains, is there still less such a thing? What's so strange about your own flesh and bones? Seeing him laughing, Zhang Jun asked puzzledly, "Why is the king laughing?" ”

Xu Wei flicked his sleeves and straightened his waist: "I'm smiling." ”

"What's so ridiculous about Wan Yanliang?" Zhang Jun asked again.

"Killing the king and usurping the throne, killing the nobles, he is the siblings of the Jin Kingdom. Why don't I laugh? Xu Wei said.

Everyone nodded silently, who said it wasn't? The Jurchens have had a hard time in the past few years, they have repeatedly lost on the battlefield, their national strength is declining, and now there is such a vicious and bloody coup d'état, which consumes their own strength. As for Da Song, there is really no reason to sigh for them, and if you don't laugh secretly, you can be kind.

"This matter should be reported to the court as soon as possible." Zhang Jun reminded.

Ma Kuo glanced at him: "Report to the court?" Naturally, naturally, but the imperial court didn't pay much attention to it. ”

Xu Wei interjected at this time: "Wanyan Liangjing dared to do such a big thing, he really didn't take us seriously!" ”

These words made the few people present a little confused, and they killed his king and usurped his throne, what are we doing? Is it possible to enter the family, and I have to inform you in advance?

Zhang Qing is Xu Wei's old brother in the end, and when he heard this, he immediately said: "Not bad! With such a big deal, he really doesn't worry about our side taking action? I really regard our Western Army as nothing! ”

Zhang Jun's face changed: "King, we have only concluded a peace treaty with the Jurchens, and we ...... at this time."

Xu Wei smiled slyly: "That's right, we have concluded a peace treaty with Dajin Kingdom, Zhang Juan, tell me, what is the peace treaty decided?" ”

"This ...... Isn't it just a call to war, withdraw troops, abandon the alliance with the Khitan, and form a brotherly state? Zhang Jun said.

Ma Kuo heard some meaning, and also smiled: "That's right, Song Jin is a state of brothers, Emperor Jin is the elder brother, and Zhao Guan's family is the younger brother." Now, Wan Yanliang, a thief, dares to kill my brother of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, is this worth it? I didn't even take my Da Song in my eyes! didn't take hundreds of thousands of Song Army soldiers into account! I didn't take my Western Army tiger wolf in my eyes! If you don't give him some color, this yellow-mouthed boy really doesn't know how tall and how thick the ground is! ”

After saying that, he and Xu Wei and Zhang Qing looked at each other and smiled.

Even if Zhang Jun was confused, he could hear it, and frankly speaking, this was indeed an excuse to be famous, but he had just concluded a peace treaty...... Xu Wei seemed to know what he was thinking, and said, "Actually, whether or not Yan Liang kills Yan Liang has nothing to do with us." What we can't tolerate is that this guy is doing a thousand things under our noses, ignoring the existence of our white spoon. With the current situation, he has done such a big thing, but he didn't talk to my Da Song first, it's really a dog's guts! ”

"That's right, what the king said is very true! Be sure to show him the stakes so that he will know that this is not the case! Ma said widely.

Zhang Jun still had doubts, and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid I still have to report to the imperial court, and it is appropriate to ask the imperial court to decide." ”

Xu Wei stood up: "The imperial court is naturally retributive, but our Western Army has to act cheaply and seize it first." ”

Zhang Jun served as the judge of the Xuanfu Disposal Division, shouldering the heavy responsibility of the eyes and ears of the imperial court, to put it bluntly, he was staring at King Xu Jun. Although he has cooperated with Xu Wei over the years, and the emperor has changed a few times, he has not forgotten his identity and mission. Although King Wuwei has always had a reputation for loyalty, he had to be careful about this matter. As soon as he thought of this, he asked, "What is the king's plan?" ”

"Raise troops, beg for thieves!" Xu Weilang said.

Not only Zhang Jun, but even Ma Kuo was taken aback, what? Raising troops? Really? Ma Kuo thought that King Wuwei would at most use this excuse to scare Yan Liang and shake his majesty, otherwise he would take the opportunity to take them, but he didn't expect King Xu Jun to raise an army to fight? How? Do you really want to avenge Emperor Jin?

Zhang Jun had always known that Xu Wei didn't talk about it, but he really didn't believe it, so he said tentatively: "King? ”

"Didn't I make it clear? Raise an army against the thief! Xu Wei said with a smile.

Zhang Jun frowned: "It's not a real fight?" ”

"Of course it's not a real fight, what is Wan Yanliang most anxious about at the moment? is to sit firmly in his position and appease the Jin Kingdom, if we go to take advantage of the fire to rob at this time, what can he do but swallow his anger? This time he must be made to bleed! Xu Wei said with a smile.

"It's extreme, I think back then, the Jin army went south every time they extorted gold and silver, and this time they were also called ......," Zhang Qing quipped.

"Look at your little bit of goodness! What is good about gold and silver? The land is what matters, don't you understand? Ma Kuo gave him a blank look.

"Then Brother Yi Zichong, where should we ask Dajin Guo?" Zhang Qing asked.

"That's naturally Taiyuan, as long as you get Taiyuan Mansion in your hands, there will be stability in Hedong." Ma Kuang Road.

Xu Wei saw that they didn't have a thousand things, so he thought about the benefits, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, this time Yan Liang must bleed." Brother Deyuan, you immediately report this matter to the imperial court in the name of the Sichuan and Shaanxi Xuanfu Disposal Division. Brother Zichong, you drafted an order in the name of this department, so that Xu Hong, the commander of Yan Yan, sent troops from Lin Mansion to cross the river and converge to Datong; Yongxing Shuai Yang Yan crossed the pontoon bridge, entered the east of the river, and rushed to Taiyuan. The troops don't have to be too much, just bluff, after the troops are stationed at the border, be sure to make a big publicity, and inform the Jin army that our army is here to avenge the Dajin Emperor and kill the thieves of the Jin country. Zhang Qing, you let us make a momentum between the white spoons, and the bigger the cowhide, the better! This time, we just want to not use a knife or a shot, but we want to wipe out the Jin Kingdom! ”

Ma Kuoqing hugged his fists at the same time and said: "Order!" ”

At the end, Zhang Qing hesitated: "King, is this the New Year?" ”

"When the order arrives in Yongxing, it is also a few years old, and the year is not over yet? It's okay, tell the soldiers that although they have a good New Year, they also make it difficult for the Jurchens to enter the New Year! Xu Wei said with a smile.

Ma Zhanqing took the order and left, Zhang Jun was about to leave, but he didn't seem to have anything to say, he sat in the chair and was silent for a moment, Xu Wei saw this and asked, "What else is the matter with Brother Deyuan?" ”

Zhang Jun didn't answer for a while, and after a while, he got up and said, "Your Majesty, let's go to the text." After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out.

"Brother Deyuan, if you have something to say, you and I have worked together for many years, so you don't have to hide it." Xu Wei's voice sounded behind him.

Zhang Jun stopped, but did not turn around for a while, hesitated again and again, and then turned around and said to Xu Weiyi: "There is a saying, the lower officials should not talk about it, but it is just ......"

"I said it, I have something to say." Xu Wei also stood up.

"Then the lower official will be blunt." Zhang Jun's expression was serious. "The king raised two lines of soldiers and horses to put pressure on the Jin State, which is naturally for the public. And the imperial court also granted the king the right to dispose of it cheaply, which is nothing to say. It's just that Xia Guan wants to remind the king that this time is the same time. At the beginning, the oppression of Jin Jin was getting worse and worse, and he had the heart to kill me. Sichuan and Shaanxi are far away from the center, and the traffic is inconvenient, so it is understandable to act cheaply at that time. But now, the gold is not as good as it used to be, and the king should be cautious when using this cheap power. ”

After listening to his words, Xu Wei's face did not change: "Brother Deyuan thinks that Xu is domineering?" ”

"The lower officials don't dare." Zhang Jun bowed his head.

Xu Wei smiled indifferently and sighed: "I thought that you and I have been in the same boat for so many years, Yu Gong is a colleague, Yu is a good person, there is no gap between each other, and we are sincerely united." Unexpectedly, it was Xu who was amorous. ”

Zhang Jun couldn't help but regret it for a while, and hurriedly explained: "The king is too worried, and the lower officials don't doubt the king's heart, it's just that it's just ......."

"That's it, since Zhang Juan has this doubt, Xu withdraws the order, and everything is waiting for the court to decide." Xu Wei pulled his face down.

When Zhang Jun heard this, he was a little anxious: "This military order is like a mountain, how can it be withdrawn?" The king is angry, and the lower officials really have no other meaning! ”

"Humph! Zhang Juan doesn't have to be reluctant, as you said, today is not as good as in the past, and the Jurchens have not hit Sichuan and Shaanxi, so why bother? Xu Wei still "did not forgive" on the 1st.

Zhang Jun was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat, and said again and again: "The king is angry, angry, but the official didn't say it!" Jun and the king have been friends for many years, how can they not know the king's loyalty, but the sun and the moon! It's a humble! ”

Seeing him like this, Xu Wei walked out of the desk, came to his side, and said earnestly: "Brother Deyuan, since I saw him in the cardinal mansion in the past, I have always respected my brother very much. Over the years, you and I have been in the same boat through thick and thin, cooperated seamlessly, recovered Shaanxi, marched into Hedong, and you have a share of the credit. In Xu's heart, his brother is not only beneficial, but also a good teacher. Between you and me, we should be open and honest with each other. ”

Zhang Jun didn't expect Xu Wei to say this, he was quite moved, looked at the other party and said: "The king has built a generation, isn't Jun just respectful?" ”

"I understand that now Xu is not only in charge of Sichuan and Shaanxi, but also in charge of Hedong, holding the handle of 200,000 Western Army in his hand, which will inevitably cause gossip. But I'm throwing my words here today, Xu is not attached to power, and what he wants in his heart is nothing more than to recover his homeland and expel Beiyi. If in the coming day, the northern expedition of the army is successful and the two rivers Yanyun are recaptured, Wei Bi should unload his armor and return to the field, and also learn from Brother Deyuan, and make a belly. And Xu Wei is convinced that this death will not be far away! Xu Wei said.

Zhang Jun arched his hand: "The king has this ambition, Jun is willing to do his best to participate in the grand event!" ”

Without saying anything more at the moment, Zhang Jun went to report to the court, Xu Wei saw him leave, and suddenly laughed. Zhang Junzhen is really a loyal minister, when he arrived in Sichuan and Shaanxi, it was still the emperor Zhao Huan sitting in the country, and now, the emperor has changed twice, and he still keeps in mind his duties. This is also a momentary handsome, but unfortunately it can't be contained, this face, sooner or later, is going to be torn.

After thinking for a while, he returned to the desk and glanced at the map a few times. This time, he decided to use two lines of soldiers and horses to intimidate the Jurchens, although he also had the idea of taking advantage of the fire to rob, but this was not the main thing. Although Xu Liu still has no power in the court, his status can no longer be compared with before. King Lin Zheyan was the prime minister and divided his power, which was not just against Xu Liu, but against the entire Xu family.

Xu Jiu recently analyzed the situation between the government and the opposition and came to a conclusion. "Benefited" from the Song and Jin Wars, and several wealthy families gradually rose. Of course, this is the Xu family, Xu Liu worships the prime minister in the court, and he himself is in charge of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Hedong, and most of the children of the Xu family hold important positions in the army, holding the military power of the Western Army, and they are strong.

Secondly, we have to talk about the folding family. Lin Wang Zheyan served as the prime minister, and although the strength of his Zhejia army could not be compared with the Western Army, its strength was first-class among the southern armies. Moreover, the army of the Zhe family is clan-style, but all the key positions are definitely the ones with the surname Zhe. The site is a small point, only on Jiangnan West Road, but judging from the fact that Zhe Yan wanted to let the Zhejia army return to his homeland a few days ago, King Lin is also planning for the future.

Again, you have to push the Liu family. Liu Guangguo proclaimed Huainan and got Shandong, although the military strength is far from the Xu family, but the queen is the queen's maiden family, and it will be blessed with great development in the future.

In addition to this, there are also Han Shizhong and Yue Fei, who can also be regarded as powerful factions. Zhao Ding of Liangzhejiang also has the foundation of the Western Army, but he guards Jiangnan, and he has no share in several major battles, and it is estimated that there are not many catties and taels.

The three families of Xu, Zhe, and Liu controlled most of the forces of the Song army, whether in the court or in the localities, the forces were intertwined, which was of course caused by the current situation of the Song-Jin War, but it cannot be denied that it was the result of intentional management.

Historically, after the Song Dynasty restrained the offensive of the Jin army, it couldn't wait to collect the generals' military power and eradicate the Jiangmen forces. Several generals who resisted Jin at the beginning, Zhang Jun, Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, and Liu Guangshi, were successively cut off from military power, and Yue Fei also lost his life.

Now, although there are no signs and rumors, it is necessary to guard against it. Therefore, there must be entry in the court, otherwise, holding a strong soldier in hand is a crime of conceiving a bi. Xu Liu's position has been shaken, Xu Jiu must make a move, and he can't let the family think that the Xu family is a soft pestle, and he can pinch it if he wants.

If it had been five or six years ago, Xu Wei might have had some scruples. But to this day, he has firmly grasped the military power of the Western Army, and several marshals except for Yao Pingzhong and Liu Guangshi are all joined by himself, and many middle and lower-level officers are from his subordinates. To put it tabooly, in the Western Army, the emperor's edict is absolutely not as good as his military order. It's not enough to just grasp military power, and Xu Wei has also worked hard to manage the local administrative system over the years. Needless to say, almost all of the local administrative officials in Shaanxi were cultivated by him, and Sichuan used to have some needles that could not be inserted and the smell of water could not be splashed, but after several years of activities, the situation has been greatly improved. What is even more rare is that in the Guangfu area of Hedong, Xu Wei personally reorganized the military and political teams.

All in all, now the three places in Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Hedong are a community of interests tied to Xu Wei's body, with both prosperity and loss. To put it more tabooly, Xu Wei now has the strength to argue with the imperial court. The little official in Hangzhou City, who was afraid of the inside, he didn't look at it, but was very jealous of the other generals. In his opinion, from now on, how the current situation of the Great Song Dynasty will go depends on the results of the wrestling of several major families. Anyway, he didn't believe that Xiao Zhao's official family was a hero, and he could clean up the situation of this warlord.

Then again, although he has the strength to argue with the imperial court, Xu Wei really doesn't have the idea of pulling the emperor down and going to the Jinluan Palace by himself, he hasn't reached that heat yet. His current thinking is to do everything in his power to maintain the current situation, and never take risks unless absolutely necessary. If there is a change in the tense situation in the future, move the camera again. Not only did he think so, but he also hoped that the leaders of the other major generals would also think so. Tens of thousands, don't have any hot-headed and over-the-top deeds, and then they will suffer.

I don't know how long I thought about it, but when he came back to his senses, he found that it had darkened. At this time, he suddenly realized that it was Chinese New Year's Eve! During the Chinese New Year, what am I still doing in the yamen? At that moment, he took a big coat and hurriedly walked out of the office hall. Because he didn't leave, several officials who were on duty in the yamen were not allowed to get out, and they didn't dare to urge. Xu Wei was embarrassed and hurriedly let them go home for the holiday. After leaving the yamen and stepping on his horse, he himself hurried home.

In the cold winter, although there was no snow, it was not light, Xu Wei tightened his neckline and ran towards the palace of Wuwei County. Along the way, I saw that every household was full of lights, beaming with joy, the dolls were not too dark, still chasing each other and playing on the street, from time to time they put a few cannons, shouting and screaming, and Xu Wei was full of smiles. The road is almost without exception, they are all buried in the road, Chinese New Year's Eve, who is not in a hurry to go home for the New Year?

Thinking of his wife and children at home, King Wuwei couldn't help but urge his mount to run faster

To be continued
