"It's coming! Here it comes! There was a cacophony of onlookers. It turned out that many people had already seen a group of soldiers and horses galloping from the east.

Xu Liu flicked his sleeves and put his hands on his abdomen, trying his best to look decent, and the accompanying civil and military generals were also in good spirits and ready to greet him. Wu Jue turned his head and waved his hand, and the loud horn suddenly sounded! This was followed by the noisy gongs and drums, beating a majestic and passionate rhythm to welcome the triumphant soldiers.

"Why are you still doing this?" Xu Wei laughed on the back of the galloping horse.

"Dashuai, this is welcoming us, right? Ha ha! Li Chengwei was full of joy. When I got closer, I found that in addition to the common people outside the city gate, there was also a group of officials wearing official robes and wearing black veils on their heads! In the past, Qin Fengjun had won many battles, let alone been cheered, but it was indeed the first time that such a big pomp and circumstance!

"Phew!" And the generals took the reins, and the horses neighed or stood up, and they stopped. As soon as the war horse stopped here, Xu Liang, the judge of the Sichuan and Shaanxi Xuanfu Disposal Division, led the officials to come forward.

Xu Wei turned over and dismounted, and quickly stepped forward to hold his fist: "How dare you work hard to judge Xu?" ”

Xu Liu smiled and stepped forward to salute: "This judgment rate Xuanfu Disposal Division, Preparation Division, Economic Strategy Pacification Division, and the officials of the three divisions congratulate the triumphant division of the Xianggong!" Although these two are cousins in private, they are colleagues in the office, so the scene must be spoken.

"With the support of the director of the Xuanfu Division, and the soldiers of all the armies serving the dead, how dare I suffer alone?" Xu Wei said, dodged away, and let the generals behind him accept the congratulations.

The officials of the three divisions came forward one after another, all smiling happily and congratulating each other. Then we teamed up and headed to the city. The surrounding people cheered and thundered, and Xu Wei and below all greeted each other.

After entering the city, the officials returned to the division on business, and Xu Wei went straight to the preparation division. took off his armor, changed into official clothes, and went to the flower hall to receive the officials of the Xuanfu Disposal Division.

"The preparation of the Xianggong has been tiring all the way, and the dust has not been washed, or not? Shall we have a meal? Xu Liu said very considerately.

Xu Jiu sat down, took a sip of tea, waved his hand and said, "No need, run all the way down, I don't have any appetite now, just drink some Qinghua." It's just that it hurts your bosses and colleagues, and there is not much oil and water. ”

"Haha, what did the prime minister say, the abundance of this Eastern Crusade is rare in the past years, and there is no oil and water?" An official of the Xuanfu Division said with a smile. He was referring to the booty that the Western Army had seized from Yin Meng Bangxiong, the governor of Jinhe Prefecture. Although this property was taken from the imperial tomb, how to use it logically needs to be decided by the imperial court. But the situation in Sichuan and Shaanxi is there, and after going through the motions, the imperial court will naturally push the boat down the river and allocate it to Sichuan and Shaanxi to take care of themselves. This money, which Zhao Bin initially estimated, was enough for the Western Army to launch a large-scale offensive.

"It's a lot, but it's a lot more useful. However, I'm just a guy who asks for money anyway, and it's your business to worry about. Xu Wei said with a smile.

The officials in the hall all laughed, and Xu Liu, as a senior official of the Xuanfu Disposal Department, naturally asked about the process of this Eastern Crusade. Xu Wei then concisely explained the process, and mentioned the theft of the imperial tomb and the violent corpse of Emperor Zhezong.

As soon as they heard this, all the officials in the hall were filled with grief and indignation! To them, the monarch is the father, and the monarch is like the father. The excavation of the imperial tombs of the previous emperors is already an unbearable burden, and the remains of Emperor Zhezong are exposed, so how can they accept it? At the moment, the voice of cursing the female truth and hypocrisy Han is endless!

When everyone's mood calmed down a little, Xu Liu reminded: "Prepare the minister, and later, I have to ask you to sort out the situation of this trip and report it to the Xuanfu Division." At this point, he paused, and added, "The matter of the imperial tomb, my personal opinion, you had better report it to the book." ”

"Of course." Xu Wei nodded.

In the blink of an eye, at the end of the third year of Jianwu, after Xu Wei came back, he was busy comforting the wounded and compassionate to death, reorganizing the troops, and taking the time to report the Eastern Expedition to the Xuanfu Division, asking for credit for the relevant personnel, and writing a chapter on the matter of the imperial mausoleum, and writing a letter to Hangzhou. During this period, he closely followed the situation in the Xianghan theater of operations.

According to Yang Congyi's report, in the first half of the lunar month, in addition to the original Jin army, Zhengzhou marched into a large number of troops. Based on this, Xu Wei judged that the battle situation in the Xianghan region may have already had a result, otherwise, Wushu would not have reorganized the defense of the Central Plains. But it's really hard to say who wins and who loses. If the Jin army is victorious, then the Song army will definitely not be able to fight again, because this battle has been fought for too long, and it is natural to strengthen the defense of Zhengzhou for the western army; If the Jin army is defeated and unable to make a comeback, then it is reasonable to strengthen Zhengzhou's defense force.

At the end of this year, Zijin Tiger finally got the letter. As he expected, Xianghan was a foregone conclusion. As soon as he was after the war, He Guan sent people from Jinghu North Road, that is, Hubei in later generations, to Sichuan to report to the Sichuan and Shaanxi Xuanfu Division, saying that the front and rear armies of Shenwu worked together to recover Xiangyang, and the Jin army had retreated to Tokyo and was unable to fight again. Although this news is only a few words, it is not difficult to imagine that there must be a fierce battle among them!

It is true that after Wushu was attracted back to Tokyo by Xu Wei, the Shenwu Front Army, that is, the Zhejia Army, made an appointment with Yue Fei's troops to attack Xiangyang in two ways. The Jin army was set up in Fulong Mountain south of Xiangyang, and the two camps of Lumen Mountain were breached, and the Zhejia army reached the city of Xiangyang. On the other hand, Yue Fei's troops entered Dengzhou, won four battles and four victories, and cut off Xia Jinwu's retreat.

When the Wushu fire rushed back, Xiangyang had already been lost. The prefectures and counties were full of the rout of the Jin army, and his son-in-law Xia Jinwu did not disgrace him, Xiangyang was besieged, and he still commanded the troops to resist desperately. Helpless, this time, the Song army was already desperate, fighting against the water, fighting extremely bravely, Xiangyang City was breached, and Xia Jinwu was stabbed to death in the melee by Yue Fei's soldiers.

Shi Wushu had already arrived at Yingchang Mansion, and when he heard the news, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood! The son-in-law is gone, and Xiangyang is lost! It took a year, countless money and food, and hundreds of thousands of casualties, and Xiangyang, which was taken at such a price, was recaptured by the Song army, so how could he not be angry? But at this step in the field, Wushu knew that it was impossible to take Xiangyang again immediately. After a long time of fighting, the soldiers have been exhausted, and the Han army has been full of fugitives recently, and the most fatal thing is that the grain and grass are already insufficient, which can not compare to the Song army's back to Jinghu and Liangguang and the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River?

After thinking about it, he could only order the withdrawal of the troops and retreat to the front line of Tokyo to rest and recuperate, in preparation for another day. At this point, the battle for Xiangyang has come to an end for the time being. In this battle, the Song and Jin sides mobilized nearly 400,000 troops, with Xiangyang as the center, and fought intermittently for a year, and both sides paid a heavy price, which is unique in the history of the Song and Jin wars!

In the fourth year of Jianwu, in the first month, Hangzhou was in line.

This year, the monarchs and ministers who are on the line are finally living more comfortably. Although it cost countless money and food, and folded many soldiers and horses, fortunately, Xiangyang was in danger. In order to commend the merits of the front-line soldiers, the imperial court is ready to award a large number of rewards. But everyone else is easy to do, but the quality of Zheyan is already extremely prominent, knighted and duke, added officials and less protection, and is a first-class member, how else can it be sealed? The ministers of the DPRK and China proposed that in the troubled times, it is the time to borrow the military ministers, and the former is sitting in Zhenjiang to ensure the safety of the south of the Yangtze River, and now he is the king of the royal division of the Beiyi, recapture Xiangyang, turn the tide, and cover the contemporary, and should be compared with the work of recovering Yanyun and sealing the king.

Prior to this, there was only one minister with a different surname who was alive and crowned king, Tong Guan. The ministers discussed, and most of them agreed, but Prime Minister Zhu Sheng thought it was impossible, so he reported to Emperor Zhao Chen for reprisal. Zhao Guanjia is an unassertive person, and asked Emperor Yu Zhao Huan, but there is still no conclusion.

Zhongshu Province, Political Affairs Hall.

In this "State Council" of the Song Dynasty, it is now Xu Shao who is in charge. The front line defeated and repelled the Jin people, although it is said that the credit is attributed to the generals, but Xu Shao coordinates the overall situation, and naturally he works hard. It's just that he, like Orihiko, has been sealed so much that he can't be sealed. Therefore, when the good news came to Tokyo, Emperor Zhao Chen personally summoned him, praised him repeatedly, gave him gold and silver and treasures of the inner palace, and promoted his two sons Xu Hong and Xu Liang to one official rank, which was regarded as a reward.

"Xu Xiang, this is the merit of the soldiers on the front line of Syria, record the mistakes of the relevant personnel, and the final details will be judged by the prime minister." The adjutant handed the official document to Xu Shao. The latter coughed and watched. This elderly and seriously ill person is most afraid of the cold winter. But there is no way, Xu Shao, as the second minister, is really in charge of everything.

After looking at them one by one, Xu Shao said: "After Zhang Bofen was loyal, although he was defeated and lost the city, he remembered the merits of his ancestor and his father Zhang Shuye, and he could be appropriately light-hearted. I look at it like this, lower the facial features, demote the deputy envoy of the regimental training, and find a suitable place to organize and manage. You tell Ariji what you mean. ”

"Yes, keep in mind." The adjutant replied.

Xu Shao looked at it again, and said: "Yue Fei took over the command of Zhang Zhongxiong, he was calm and strategic, and his credit was not small. He can be specially appointed as an observer envoy and serve as the deputy commander of the Jinghu Xuanfu Division. ”

"Yes." The adjutant can only respond. Originally, this was already planned by Yousi, but Xu Xiang has always been like this, with a big pen and a move of his mouth, it will be based on what he says.

"In addition, the children of the Zhe family must be comforted more, so as to demonstrate the kindness of the saint and the court. By the way, you can ask for old beggars, how do you discuss it? Xu Shao asked.

"No." The adjutant replied.

"Yes, he is a veteran of the army, with outstanding prestige, and he can't do without him." Xu Shao said, coughing again. Read it again before handing the official document back to the adjutant.

"Xu Xiang, because of the war, there are a lot of backlogs of public cases in the Chinese book, and some officials have repeatedly urged ......" The adjutant said with some embarrassment. Because they all knew that Xu Shao was not in good health, and his right-hand man Qin Hui was deposed again, so many things in the court depended on him alone, and he couldn't bear it.

"Well, if so, why so? Let's take it all. Xu Shao sighed.

The adjutant took the order and left, just out of the prime minister's office and a colleague bumped a full cup, and the later one didn't have time to apologize, hurriedly entered, and said quickly: "Xu Xiang, the Sichuan and Shaanxi Xuanfu Disposal Division and the Shaanxi Preparation Division have written to you." ”

"Oh? Bring! "Xu Shao came to the spirit. Prior to this, Xu Churen had reported to the imperial court, saying that it was Shaanxi that Xu Weiqin led more than 30,000 Western troops out of Tongguan to crusade against the Jin army in Henan to respond to Xianghan, but I don't know what the result was?

The adjutant handed over the notebook, and Xu Shao first took Xu Churen's book and unfolded it. This look, I nodded my head frequently, and I kept nodding. Lao Jiu is a competitive child in the end, look at it, three battles and three victories, recovering Luoyang, occupying the tiger prison, breaking Zhengzhou, and once hitting the outskirts of Tokyo! And he set up camp in Mu Huogang, where he used to train soldiers! The most important thing is that this time the Western Army went eastward, and the gains were not counted!

"Good! If there is no Sichuan and Shaanxi Xuanfu Division to help this time, how can he make contributions to Xuanfu? Xu Shao forgot about his illness for a while, and praised the case.

watched Bi Chuan's Shaanxi Xuanfu Division's performance, and picked up his nephew's notebook, but didn't look at the content first, only looked at the handwriting. This old nine, patronizing the training of troops and fighting wars, why didn't he read more books and practice some words? Anyway, he is also the person who built the festival, and this hand is really unbearable! Even a student who has studied in the academy for a few years is more neat than his chicken-like words!

But when Xu Shao saw the content of the recital, he no longer had the leisure and elegance to care about his nephew's studies. "Yongchang Mausoleum is all shocked, Tailing to expose, the minister Xie is covered in a purple robe, and buried on the spot...... "Yongchang Mausoleum is the mausoleum of Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, and Yongtai Mausoleum is the mausoleum of Zhezong Zhao Xu.

Na Zuoguan stood beside him, seeing that the prime minister's hair moved, his teeth were clenched, and his eyes gradually dyed red, for some reason. Suddenly, Xu Shao punched the desk, shaking the paper, pen and inkstone, and shocking the adjutant!

"Gold thief! All my life, I will not make peace with my wife! Xu Shao's roar alarmed the deputy minister and adjutant who were working outside. The officials gathered one after another, not knowing what had happened.

"Quick! Please Zhu Xiang, Xu Shumi, Liu Shumi, the governors of the government and sign the privy council! ”

Ge Ling, the place where the famous scholar Ge Hong and Ge Immortals of the Eastern Jin Dynasty practiced, walked after moving to Hangzhou. Dao Jun lives here, "concentrating" on cultivation every day, in order to soar. It's just that Daojun is still not over after all, and he still misses the time when he reigned in the world, so he hasn't achieved the right result yet.

Xu Shao, Zhu Shengfei, Xu Han, Qin Hui and others staged a coup d'état, forcing Zhao Huan to step down and support the new monarch. Zhao Ji thought that his opportunity had come, but after Zhao Chen came to power, he was still constrained and influenced by his father Zhao Huan. He, the imperial grandfather, couldn't intervene at all, and after a long time, Daojun really looked down on these, and since then he has closed his door to Geling and hugged Pulu, lived in a semi-idle hall, studied the classics every day, practiced pills, and was accompanied by plants and trees, and Fengyue was a friend. In his spare time, he still writes a few thin gold strokes and paints a few paintings of flowers and birds according to his own interests and hobbies, and his life is dull.

Except for his favorite third son, Jiawang Zhao Kai often came to visit him, and hardly met anyone. Emperor Zhao Huan and Emperor Zhao Chen were supposed to visit him four times a month, but the two fathers and sons often did not come for some reason, and Daojun did not care.

On this day, Daojun visited him by Xu Shao and others on that day, and asked to go out of the mountain to be the master and meditate on the boulder that led to the coup, perhaps because of the aura of heaven and earth. However, it seems that Daojun was restless today, sat for a while, got up and returned to the semi-idle hall, so that the waiter took a pen and paper, and had the intention to write and draw a few strokes of him, but whether it was writing or drawing, at the beginning of a few strokes, he felt lifeless, so he threw the pen away, and said strangely: "Why is it restless?" Could it be a calamity? ”

When he was confused, a Taoist priest came to report, in fact, he was also dressed as an inner servant, saying that it was the emperor Zhao Huan, the holy Zhao Chen, and the minister of the central government Qi Zhi hugged Pulu and asked to see the Taoist monarch.

Zhao Ji listened to it and said lightly: "I am already an idle person, and mundane things have nothing to do with me." "I didn't see my children and grandchildren, and I didn't see the important ministers of the court.

The Taoist priest went out to report according to his words, and came again after a short time, saying: "Taishang and the official knelt outside the door, and the ministers hid their tears. ”

When Zhao Ji heard this, he felt strange, what was the situation? If the country is not ruined, why bother? After thinking about it, could it be that the Jin army crossed the Yangtze River? As soon as he thought of this, he said, "Let them in." After finishing speaking, he picked up the pen again, hastily sketched a few times, and sketched out a few plums, and felt that it was a little interesting, so he grabbed his sleeves and devoted himself to painting.

When Zhao Huan and Zhao Chen's father and son led the ministers into the semi-idle hall with chaotic steps, Daojun was already in a state of mind, unaware, and only intoxicated with Danqing. So much so that the ministers of his children and grandchildren bowed down to him, and he did not react at all.

It wasn't until a cry sounded in his ears that he turned his head and frowned, "What's the matter?" ”

But seeing that Emperor Zhao Huan, Emperor Zhao Chen, as well as Xu Shao, Zhu Shengfei, Xu Han, Liu Yanqing and other important ministers were all lying on the ground and mourning, they were very sad. Zhao Ji frowned and said, "Why are you so sad?" ”

Zhao Huan straightened up, already burst into tears, and said bitterly: "The national disaster is endless, and even the previous emperors of the past dynasties are covered with dust, this is the sin of children and grandchildren!" ”

Zhao Ji's face changed, the first emperor was dusty? Where does this begin?

Xu Shao is the prime minister, and he also straightened up at the moment, crying: "Xu Wei, the envoy of Shaanxi, sent troops to the east last year, out of Tongguan, and returned to Luoyang, until Gongxian. Seeing that the tombs of the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty were stolen and excavated, the solemn place in the past, birds and beasts haunted the place, and the bones were all over the place, and it was miserable! From the Yongchang Mausoleum downward, they are all frightened! The Yongtai Mausoleum was exposed, wrapped in a purple robe worn by Wei Jie, and buried on the spot......"

The pen in Zhao Ji's hand fell on the paper with a snap, and the face that was originally calm was distorted in an instant! Although he devoted himself to cultivation, the Taoists never said that they would deny their ancestors!

Hearing that the imperial tombs from Taizu to Zhezong had been stolen and excavated, and the remains of the imperial brother turned out to be in the wild, the shock and grief in Zhao Ji's heart were indescribable! He stood stunned for a long time, his lips slightly open, and his throat made an "ahhh After a long while, the muffled voice finally turned into a mournful cry!

In that half-idle hall, the monarchs and ministers were extremely indignant, and they all cried bitterly, which was regarded as a great shame and shame, and they did not share the sky!

Tired and tired of crying, the ministers helped the monarch, the emperor, and sat down with the officials. Zhao Ji still can't help but feel sad from it, just imagine, he abdicated himself, and his children and grandchildren are not filial, which is already desolate enough. Now that he heard that his ancestors' mausoleum had suffered a catastrophe, the bones of his brother, Emperor Zhezong, were exposed to the wilderness, and he himself was powerless, and the sorrow in his heart can be imagined.

"Who did it?" Dao Jun gritted his teeth and asked, the people outside this side have also moved the wrath of thunder!

"According to investigation, it is the pseudo-Han Gao who is leading the world, and the pseudo-Henan Mansion Yin Mengbangxiong is himself!" Zhao Huan replied.

"Where is the thief!" Zhao Ji's voice was full of emotion.

"Xu Wei broke through Luoyang, captured Meng Wei, complained about his heinous crimes, executed him on the spot, and razed his clan!"
