There was a lot of discussion in the hall for a while, and they all felt that this matter was very strange. After thinking about it carefully, I became more and more puzzled, the Jin people have never been faithful, and they have always been aggressive towards our dynasty. If he really suffered a big loss in the hands of Xu Wei, he would definitely press the border to avenge this arrow, how could he send an envoy to question? When the peace was negotiated, the envoy was quite unhappy, and he agreed to say that he wanted to agree, and if he didn't agree, he would take it himself. Since you have this strength, wouldn't it be easier for you to destroy Xu Wei directly? Why bother to take the road of diplomatic relations again?

With his understanding of Xu Wei, Zhi Yanzhi knew that this fight was never rigid, and he dared to take risks. Did it take advantage of the Song and Jin negotiations to make peace, and the Jin army was negligent in taking precautions, and suddenly attacked, and caught Muhan off guard? But this also doesn't make sense, the Jin army lost tens of thousands of people, and a member of the clan died, and under the anger of Mu Han, he will take revenge, why did he send envoys to come here? Could it be that they can't handle Xu Jiu?

"Official, no matter what happens, it is always a fact that Xu Wei acted against the will of the imperial court and acted without authorization." Wu Min said.

This hat can't be buttoned randomly, Orihiko said in a timely manner: "This matter must be investigated clearly, and then conclusions should be drawn, and no rushes should be made." ”

"Oh? What does it mean to fold the privy council and continue to let Xu Wei stay in Shaanxi? If he dares to attack the Jin army once, he will dare to do it a second time! The peace negotiation was won by the imperial court with great effort, and it can't be abandoned because of a Xu Wei, right? Geng Nanzhong asked with a smile.

Orihiko glanced at him and stopped talking. Seeing this, Zhao Ding straightened his waist and asked, "Geng Xiang, what is the court talking about peace for?" ”

Geng Nanzhong knew that he wanted to lead himself into the trap, so he only snorted and did not answer. Zhao Ding then said to himself: "Negotiating peace is to buy time, recuperate national strength, and reorganize armaments in order to recover!" Isn't that what Xu Wei did? The lower officials agree with the opinion of the Privy Secret, and they can't jump to conclusions! Must be investigated! ”

Geng Nanzhong squinted at him and said coldly: "The prime minister didn't say that he wanted to convict Xu Wei of anything, right?" It's just that he was transferred away from the front line in Shaanxi, and the recall line is asking for clarification. ”

Zhao Dingzheng wanted to refute, but the Son of Heaven had already said: "Shaanxi Xuanfu and the two divisions are lacking in charge, and Xu Wei presides over the division and cannot be moved lightly." Didn't Zhang Jun go to Shaanxi? Presumably he was already on his way home at this time, and when he returned to the line, he would know as soon as he asked. ”

When Wu Min heard this, he asked, "Your Majesty, how do you reply to the Golden Envoy?" ”

The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Just say that Xingzai is investigating this matter and will give him an explanation." ”

"But the golden envoy is menacing, and he wants me to give an answer within a limited time, this is ......"

He Guan, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "The Western Army is to expel Beiyi from the territory of the Great Song Dynasty to resist foreign aggression. Chen used to be Xu Wei's commander and knew him a little. Although this person commanded the battle bravely, he still understood the general situation and took the overall situation into account. He must have done something inside. Your Majesty, it is better to wait for Zhang Jun to return to the line and then make a plan. ”

As soon as these words came out, even if there were still people who had any objections, it was not good to say more. The three heroes who supported the official family to ascend the throne, Li Gang and Wu Min were all demoted, but he He Guan, as a military minister, has always stood tall. Even Song Jin negotiated peace, and Jin Fang proposed to deal with the relevant officials, and the Son of Heaven protected him, which shows that the officials still attach importance to him. Now that he is helping Xu Wei speak, I am afraid that even Geng Nanzhong will not be able to entangle him anymore.

It was agreed at the moment that Zhang Jun would return to the court and ask everything. When the envoy received such a reply, he was naturally very dissatisfied and shouted that he should bear all the consequences. But he didn't leave, and the envoys from Jin Shangjing, who came on behalf of Emperor Jin, still discussed the land with Xing Zaiyousi according to the original plan.

And during this time, it was also exceptionally calm in Shaanxi. After Xu Wei successively defeated the enemy in Yaozhou, near the end of the year, it began to snow in Shaanxi, one is not suitable for the use of troops, and the other is that the shortage of materials has not been fundamentally solved, and it must wait until after the beginning of spring to be transported from Sichuan. Although the Jin army was strong and strong, it also fell into the dilemma of lack of supplies. Sticky Han successively sent Li Zhi back to Hedong to raise grain and grass, and sent troops to Tuntian, and encircled and suppressed the rebels everywhere. At the same time, the elite was stationed in Dunzhou to stabilize the foothold of Yanyan. Anxious for the echo of the South.

Before Chinese New Year's Eve, the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu waited eagerly and finally looked forward to Zhang Jun and his party. As soon as Li Gang returned to Xingzai, he didn't even see the face of the Son of Heaven, he was first sentenced to the Xinghua Army, did not move, and then changed to Chaozhou to resettle, and on the day he left Zhenjiang Mansion, he was demoted to the Jiyang Army, which was later Sanya, Hainan. Don't think it's a tourist mecca, in the Song Dynasty, this place was specially placed under residential surveillance for officials who were not welcomed by the imperial court, and the conditions were very difficult. Maybe Zhao Huan still remembered his original support for the merits, and he didn't do too much, but he still gave the corresponding treatment. Although he was placed under residential surveillance and deprived of his freedom, he could speak and write. However, there are also rumors in the DPRK and China that this little privilege was specially instructed by Wu Min, the second minister who had a good personal relationship with Li Gang back then.

Zhang Jun walked in a hurry in the palace, and when his colleagues saw him returning, they asked one after another. He just nodded, and hurried inside.

To the privy envoy's office, Zheyan has been waiting for a long time. As soon as he entered the door, he didn't have time to give a salute, and Zhi Zhonggu had already asked: "Deyuan has worked hard all the way, what happened in Shaanxi?" ”

Although the two people have a huge difference in rank, they are both the same Jinshi of Zhenghe for eight years, and with this relationship, they are naturally much closer. Zhang Jun smiled bitterly: "The prime minister has to let the officials eat tea, right?" ”

Zhi Yanzhi patted his head, and hurriedly took his teacup and handed it over, but he still asked, "What the hell is Xu Jiu doing?" ”

Zhang Jun put half a cup of hot tea into his stomach, spewed out a cloud of white mist, and said with a long sigh of relief: "Xu Ziang is worthy of being the queen of the door, and he is very good!" ”

"Oh? Sit down and talk about it. Orihiko was very interested.

After the two sat down, Zhang Jun said: "Xiaguan just arrived in Shaanxi, as soon as he entered Chang'an City, and after seeing the officials of Yousi, he learned that Xu Jingluo had led the army to Yaozhou. At that time, Xia Guan was shocked and Pegasus went to chase after him. But he didn't catch up, and when the lower officials saw Xu Jingluo, they had already defeated the Yaozhou Jin army and returned to Chang'an. ”

Zhi Zhonggu frowned when he heard this: "According to Deyuan's meaning, the situation in Shaanxi is not as pessimistic as imagined? ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Jun was furious, and put down the teacup he had just picked up: "The Jurchens are hiding from the sky and the sea, so they are suspicious!" In fact, although Shaanxi lost Yanyan, the losses of the Western Army were not serious. Xu Jingluo commanded an army of 80,000 horse infantry, and there was almost no loss! ”

"How is this possible? The Jin army is hundreds of thousands, but it has been around for three months! "Zhe Zhonggu is also the queen of the gate, although he is a literary rank, but he is also an expert in warfare, can he be fooled?

"The Privy Council is well aware. First, Chang'an has Li Boji to operate, and the materials are sufficient. Second, Xu Jingluo evacuated the Guanzhong Plain in advance and gathered his troops. The Jin army besieged Chang'an for three months, and the real onslaught and fierce attack was less than a month. Moreover, not only did it fail to break through any of Chang'an, but it even discounted tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and spent countless equipment, money and food. During this period, the Western Army also had a large-scale sneak attack on the camp, which inflicted heavy losses on the enemy! ”

Zhang Jun's eyebrows fluttered when he spoke, and he listened to it with fascination. Hurriedly asked, "Later?" ”
