Chapter 131 Popularity

In the capital, Xu Wei is most familiar with the two places. It is his own home, the second is Dong Gong, and the second is He Guan's mansion. into the city. went straight to Hefu, and the people of Hefu had already recognized him, so they didn't need to report it, and they went directly to get it. Still talking nonsense with Xu Wei all the way, what have the little officials been busy with lately? Why do you still have a fish bag in your waist? I heard that it has risen again recently?

Xu Wei didn't say a word, Fang walked through the atrium, and saw He Guan, who was wearing court clothes and holding an inferior board, hurried out accompanied by an attendant. That otherwise majestic face was clouded. Xu Wei is even present. He didn't have a gold belt around his waist, was he in such a hurry? When He Guan saw him, he said a few words to the chamberlain.1 The latter nodded in agreement and left the house.

"I've seen the captain in my humble position." Xu Wei stepped forward and saluted. It's very strange in my heart. What is it about this that makes He Bu so nervous?

He Guan was about to speak. The doorman is still there. After retreating, he pulled Xu Wei aside and said with a solemn expression: "Ziang." Get ready! ”

When Xu Wei heard this, he was secretly taken aback, and prepared? Could it be",

"The official family urgently summoned me to the palace. I asked the chamberlain, and the governors and the three governors in Beijing were all called, including your father. Looking at this formation, there is a ** yes" He Guan didn't say any more, his face was full of worry.

Sooner or later, it will come. You can't hide, Xu Wei thought to himself.

Seeing that Xu Wei was silent, He Guan sighed and said to himself: "I hope that this time I can also turn evil into good fortune." "Don't talk to him more. Strode out. Xu Wei stood in place, turned his head and glanced at the mansion. After all, he gritted his teeth, turned around, and ran in pain. Out of Hefu, he stepped on the war horse that was given by the official family, and the whole body was pure black 1 extremely divine horse, and galloped away.

But he said that He Guan entered the palace. When I arrived outside the vertical arch hall, I saw from a distance that several ministers had arrived first. In the past, Dazai Xu Churen, Shaozai Li Gangxiao's privy deputy envoy Xu Shao, Zhongshu Shilang Tang Ke, his subordinate servant Geng Nanzhong, Shangshu left and right Cheng, the palace marshal, the cavalry marshal, the infantry army secretary Xu Zhang, all the deacons and the three yamen are all here! This kind of formation, since the new monarch ascended the throne. For the first time! And all the rulers saw him coming. He only nodded his head, and obviously, the ministers didn't know the bottom of their hearts.

Dazai Shaozai is the imperial court. But there is nothing that these two people don't know about the major military affairs. He Guan sighed slightly, and then asked Xiang Xu Churen: "Prime Minister Dachi, this time,"

Xu Churen is a veteran of the Three Dynasties and has a high reputation, and when he heard Bu Shuai's question, he was speechless for a while. For a long time, he pointed to the north and shook his head silently. The ministers were all frightened, and just as they were asking carefully, the inner servant Qian Chengmao stepped out of the hall and loudly announced that the officials would see him. When I went in, I saw that the official family was already sitting on it. His face was tired, and his eyes couldn't hide a look of panic. He was watching his ministers rush in.

After pushing the gold mountain, pouring the jade pillar, and shouting long live the mountain, Zhao Huan spoke in an anxious tone and asked directly: "Where have you been?" ”

Some courtiers were still puzzled, but they saw that Shaozai Li Gang set his sights on Xu Shao, who presided over the Privy Council. The latter came out and played: "Back to Your Majesty." It's time to make it happen! ”

Zhao Huan's body in Chu Huang's robe couldn't help but be shocked, so fast? Then he asked, "The route to the army?" How many troops? Who is in command?

Xu Shao couldn't answer for a while, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "On the sixth day of the first month of this month, the Jin army invaded in two ways. The route of the army is roughly the same as the previous one, all the way to Taiyuan! All the way out of Yanshan. The commander of the army is still inseparable from Han. Its strength is unknown for the time being, but it is certain that the situation is worse than the last time. The Jin Army's forward silver art can be a department, and has been willing to fight with the Taiyuan defenders for several days. Zhending has also been in a hurry and asked for reinforcements from the imperial court. ”

Zhao Huan listened, neither anger nor worry, and sat behind the dragon case in a daze. It seems to be numb. His Royal Highness's ministers were silent, and the entire vertical arch hall could be heard falling needles, and there was a dead silence. After the last time the Jin army invaded and withdrew from the south, many people in the government and the opposition asserted that the Jin army would come back again in the short term. can go up to the Son of Heaven and down to the Ruler. There are still many people who are lucky, thinking that the Jurchens have gained a lot of benefits, and their own situation is also unstable, besides, the Jurchens and us, unlike the party members, have a hundred and ten years of deep hatred and hatred1 Why should this be so?

But now? It's only been a few months? Coming back again, are the Jurchens really going to drive us to a dead end?

Regardless of the monarchs and ministers, they all had their own concerns at this time, and suddenly, a voice sounded: "Your Majesty, if you had agreed to the conditions of the Jin people, ceded the three towns, and sent money, why would you have today's disaster?" ”

Everyone was shocked, and when they looked up, they were the servants Geng Nanzhong. This person has always advocated not to confront the Jurchens, and no one is surprised to say such things at this time. Zhao Huan was speechless for a while. After a long time, he sighed: "The matter has come to this point, it is useless to talk more, you Aiqing should quickly come up with countermeasures." ”

He Guan and the other three marshals, including Xu Zhang, were all military ministers, instinctively avoiding politics and not speaking.

But there were four people in the temple besides him. Only Xu Shao, who changed from the martial rank to the literary rank, knew how to know the soldiers, and the three commanders of the army all pinned their hopes on him. thought that he would come out and refute Geng Nanzhong and the others. Unexpectedly, Xu Shao kept hanging his head, and he didn't mean anything at all.

Geng Nanzhong saw that all the ministers were not disrespectful, so he threw Gu Mi to the Tang people is recommended by Li Bang when he was the prime minister, and at this time, he went out of work. "Your Majesty, the last time the Jin army invaded south, they were blocked and returned. This time he will come back, and he will pour the soldiers of the whole country. Its edge is unstoppable, and in the humble opinion of the ministers, it is better to send it to seek peace. The land of three towns. ”

Geng Nanzhong immediately took over the conversation: "In addition, the minister suggested that Han Fang, the envoy of gold, be released, and ordered him to report to the gold lord to show the sincerity of our court's peace talks." "Han Fang was secretly arrested, and although the important ministers of the DPRK received the news, most of them only knew that he was detained, as for where he is now. I believe that except for Zhao Huan and Li Gang, no one in the palace knows.

When He Guan and the others heard the remarks of the two vice ministers, they were filled with righteous indignation, but they were helpless. Xu Shao couldn't count on it. I looked forward to Xu and Li coming out to speak. In the past, Li Shaozai always took the lead. Advocate the War of Resistance, and today somehow, dumb?

Li Gang was not dumb. It's just that I didn't ease up for a while. At the beginning, Xu Wei told him that Jin Jun would come in the first month, but there was no movement in August, and he jokingly asked him in front of Xu Wei what he understood. Now that I think about it, Xu Ziang has a clear understanding of the situation in Song and Jin, and he has passed all the rulers in the court!

My heart moved. At present, the official family is asking why he doesn't recommend Xu Wei for countermeasure 2? Although he is not a high official rank and is young. But in extraordinary times, extraordinary means are used when talents are used in an eclectic manner. And with Xu Wei's merits. It shouldn't be at the moment. location. A few days ago, Han Fang was arrested, and the official family personally promised that if the matter succeeded, there would be a heavy reward. But as a result, Xu Wei was only promoted to a first-level official, and was not given a substantive position. What's the point? He questioned himself, but the official was vague and did not respond.

While Li Gang was pondering, He Guan had already coughed several times to remind him. When they came back to their senses, Geng Nanzhong and Tang Ke were singing and harmonizing, Zhang Xi discussed peace, shut up and cut the ground, and said in a beautiful name, an expedient measure.

Anger rose up, stepped out of class, and mercilessly interrupted the performance of the two: "Your Majesty! Geng Tang's generation 1 only cares about protecting himself when the catastrophe is coming, and does not think about worrying about the king. Encouraging officials to cut land and seek peace is a failure to do their duty! ”

I saw that his anger was spilled at himself, and his words were unprecedentedly fierce. Geng Tang and the others were stunned for a while, and they came back to their senses. Geng Nanzhong was furious! He is a confidant of the official family, who is not jealous of him in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty? Li Gang, such a person who has been determined for a while, dares to touch his scales!

"Li Boji! Although you are the second minister, the official reminds you to pay attention to proportions when you speak! Geng Nanzhong's face was twisted into a ball like an air-dried peel. You think you are loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and you will go to war if you say that you will go to war, which seems to be for the country, but in fact it is a miscountry! The Jin people swept away the Khitan. The power is in full swing. Competing with it now? What if you don't compromise for a while? You open your mouth and close your mouth to talk about the war of resistance, let me ask you, are you familiar with the art of war and know how to set up formations?

Zhao Huan looked helplessly at the ministers arguing with each other, and he was very helpless about this situation. But Geng Nanzhong asked Li Gang this sentence, but it reminded him, aren't there people who know soldiers in this palace? Why not ask them for their opinions? Just as he was about to speak, he heard Li Gang say: "Although I don't know soldiers, how can there be no people in the court who know soldiers?" The palace marshal, the cavalry commander, and the foot marshal are all in the hall, why not ask? Xu Zhang is a veteran of the Western Army and has been on the battlefield for decades. How not to ask? And there is a person in the capital who has a deep insight into the situation of Song and Jin, and has judged the intentions of the Jin army many times, and there is no fallacy. Your Majesty, the minister suggests. Summoning this man into the palace! ”

Zhao Huan listened. immediately asked: "What Aiqing is referring to, is it Xu Wei?"

Li Gang didn't have time to answer, Geng Nanzhong had already grabbed the conversation: "Your Majesty! Xu Wei is a person, and he can't be used! He is young and has little qualifications, how can he convince the public? And this son is young and crazy, and there is no one in his eyes 1 his subordinates", Hujie Township Army, there is no shortage of chickens and dogs, and there are people who wander the rivers and lakes, and this minister has seen it with his own eyes. This is no lie. These people, who spend the country's money, in the name of training soldiers and horses, hide the filth and dirt. Not only can it not be activated, but it should be severely punished! small

As soon as this remark came out. The house was shocked! Political disagreement is a common thing in the imperial court. Blaming each other for this is also not new.

But if you spew blood and refer to the deer as a horse, you will reverse right and wrong. To the point of confusing black and white, it is inevitably unpleasant.

What kind of person Xu Wei is, a few of the ministers in the palace know it in their hearts. He is just a young man with a weak crown on the Internet, forming a township army to sweep away bandits, and the king of Qin resolutely provoked a defensive task in the Yellow River, blocking the Jin army for five days and five nights! The Jurchens didn't even know where Yao Pingzhong was, but they remembered Xu Wei's name alone. Why? But how unfair is the imperial court to Xu Wei? Although the official family gave a gold belt, a fish bag, and a precious title of "with imperial equipment", it does not give people real position power, what is the meaning? Such a talent doesn't let him go, what does it mean? Is it necessary for you, Geng Nanzhong, to depreciate a junior to worthlessness today in order to achieve the goal of peace negotiation?

The first person to challenge Geng Nanzhong, although it is reasonable. But it was unexpected. Because this person is Xu Wei's father, the deputy commander of the Infantry Division of the guard's pro-army, Xu Zhang! (To be continued)
