Chapter 293: A Turning Point

Xitai Mountain victory!

The Great Song Times Weekly released the news at the first time.

However, under Zhu Guina's mediation, the commander of the Xitai Mountain victory was not Yuyin, but Yao Pingzhong.

Historically, after the failure of the Qin Fengjun Jiedu envoy in the sneak attack on Mu Huogang, he fled to Bashu, hid in the mountains, and became a hermit. But now, because of a so-called big victory, Kaifeng cheered for him in unison.

On the contrary, it was Yuyin, like an outsider, who was not cared about at all.

"My brother worked so hard, why did he end up like this, the brothers are not convinced."

In the lobby of Zhushu's Mansion, Yang Zaixing was so angry that he kicked over the table, "I'm waiting to work hard, but I'm cheaper than others?" ”

Yu Yin sat on the handsome chair and didn't say a word.

Yang Zaixing saw that Yu Yin didn't speak, and became more and more anxious, "I don't accept such a deception."

Brother, this Kaifeng City is so aggrieved, so he simply dumped this official body and killed Hebei Zhanshan as the king, which is better than being so wronged. ”

"Da Lang, shut up!"

The old man sitting next to Yang Zaixing suddenly shouted.

When Yang Zaixing saw the old general speak, he immediately closed his mouth, but his face still showed a look of disbelief......

"Old general, what do you think of this?"

Yu Yin raised his head and looked at the old general.

"Yufu rate, since you asked about your own family, you don't hide your secrets.

Da Lang is like a brother to you, and you saved your own house last night, so you are not an outsider. Although his family was born in Jiangmen, he has been up and down in this sea for many years. He has been a soldier, a thief, and finally a recruit, and he has seen many strange things. But if this matter is said to be Yao Pingzhong's meritorious work, I am afraid it is not so simple. ”

This veteran is Hu Yanzhuo.

In Xitai Mountain, Yuyin rescued Hu Yanzhuo and returned to Kaifeng together.

It's just that Hu Yanzhuo's subordinates almost suffered casualties in Mutuogang. Therefore, he had no shame to return to the military department to give orders, so he and Yuyin came to this Zhurate Mansion to rest. Anyway, on the side of the military department, the attention was focused on Yao Pingzhong. Although Hu Yanzhuo is said to be behind the gate, it was also many years ago. In addition, he once participated in the 36 thieves of Jingdong, and was not accepted by the imperial court.

Even the master Dao didn't pay much attention to him.

Rather than this, it is better to come to Zhushufu to rest than to go back and see people's faces.

Hu Yanzhuo said. Ling Yuyin nodded again and again.

"I also think it's a little weird." He stood up, paced in the lobby, and said in a deep voice after a moment: "Not to mention whether General Yao Pingzhong will steal the credit, it is obviously a little strange for the Great Song Times Weekly to report like this...... The old general should know that I am the one who runs this Song Times Weekly. Although I later ceded it to the crown prince, I still have some influence in the newspaper. Even the Great Song Times Weekly reported so. It means that it has the permission of the prince. ”

Before the words fell, I heard a majestic voice from outside the lobby, "Xiao Yi." That's a good point! ”

Yu Yin was stunned, then looked out, and saw an old man with gray hair, walking towards him with a middle-aged general.

Beside this old man, there are also Yin Zhu Guina of Kaifeng Mansion and Zhao Chen, the crown prince.

When the four of them walked up to the lobby, they heard Zhao Chen smile and say, "I'll just say that Xiao Yi must be able to figure it out, and it is impossible to make trouble." ”

"Little brother, what's going on?"

Zhao Chen said: "Xiaoyi, let me introduce you."

This is the old breeder. This one...... Hehe, you must have seen it, Qin Fengjun made Yao Pingzhong. ”

Seed Master Dao, Yao Pingzhong?

Yu Yin was stunned.

And Hu Yanzhuo and Yang Zaixing also hurriedly stood up. Salute the four.

The seed master waved his hand, "Eh, this is not a big camp, let alone a military department, so don't be polite." Sit down. ”

As he spoke, he pulled the middle-aged man beside him. …,

"Ping Zhong, haven't you thanked Xiao Yi yet?"

The middle-aged man was Yao Pingzhong, who stepped forward and saluted: "Xiao Yi, Yao thank you for saving your life last night, and I want to thank you for forbearance this time." Yao Pingzhong didn't know Xiao Yi before, maybe there was an offense in his words, and he asked for forgiveness. ”

"General Yao, why are you bothering, you can't deserve it, you can't deserve it!"

Yu Yin hurriedly wanted to return the gift, but was stopped by the Seed Master Dao.

The old general is over seventy years old, but he seems to be in good spirits.

"Xiao Yi, you must accept this gift!

And not only will you receive this gift from him, but you will also receive a gift from me...... Today's matter is my request, and it finally saved Qin Fengjun's face. However, he wronged Xiao Yi, and the old man was also quite uneasy, so he came to thank him cheekily. ”

"This ......"

Zhu Guina said in a deep voice: "Xiao Yi, what you just said is right, the reason why the Great Song Times Weekly did today's report is because of the prince's advice, and you don't blame Twenty-six Lang." To tell you the truth, last night's sneak attack on Mutuogang was a fiasco, which was quite unfavorable to my morale. Not to mention that the official family is negotiating peace with the thief, and they can't bear such a heavy blow......

You killed the big tart Buye and the Wanyan living girl, even if you lost, you also saved Qin Fengjun's face.

It's a pity that I can't give you credit this time...... However, I have consulted with the Privy Council to hold the position of a member of the Privy Council, except for your position as a member of the headquarters of the Ministry of War, as a compensation. If you have any other requirements, you may as well say so. If the seed can agree, he will never refuse. ”

It's a deal!

After listening to Zhu Guina, Yu Yin understood the mystery.

That's right, Da Tart Buye and Wanyan Living Girl are dead, but dying in the hands of his Yuyin and dying in the hands of Yao Pingzhong are completely different concepts.

For Zhao Huan, Yu Yin is insignificant, so he has made great achievements, and it is difficult to have too many gifts.

But if he died at the hands of Yao Pingzhong, the situation would be different.

Yao Pingzhong is a general in the west and is valued by Zhao Huan. If Yao Pingzhong killed the big tart Buye and the Wanyan living girl, this battle would not be lost. For Zhao Huan, it also shows that his vision is not bad, and it is his support for Yao Pingzhong's sneak attack on Mutuogang that has brought such results. This is very important to both Zhao Huan and Yao Pingzhong.

Who is Big Tart Buye?

Which one is the living girl?

For Yu Yin, it doesn't matter.

The important thing is that he can take this opportunity to make friends with the representatives of the military, which is equivalent to having more help in the court.

Yu Yin glanced at the crown prince Zhao Chen, and saw that Zhao Chen had a look of anticipation on his face.

smiled at the moment, "What should I do, but two thieves, this is General Yao's military exploits." It was also under the orders of General Yao that he won by luck. The old breed minister, General Yao, is worried about this matter......"

A smile suddenly appeared on the face of the cultivator.

"Speaking of which, I know that Xiaoyi is early."

"Oh?"

"When Ludana ran back to Huanzhou at the beginning of last year, he mentioned Xiao Yi's name in front of me.

I also heard that Xiao Yi is ready to restart the Western Regions trade route? If so. It's not that hard...... Although their own family is no longer in Guanzhong, the towns in the northwest also sell their own thin noodles. If Xiao Yi has any trouble, the dog is in the country and now knows Chang'an, so he can't help a little. In addition, if Xiao Yi has other requirements, he can also talk to his own family......"

The way of the seed master can be said to have given Yu Yin enough face.

In fact, with his status and status, if he really wants to grab credit, Yu Yin has no choice.

But he didn't. Instead, he personally came to apologize and offered many quid pro quo.

This reminded Yu Yin of a sentence from later generations: Politics has always been about compromise and exchange, and there are no absolutes.

The scene in front of me. Isn't it the living illustration of this?

From this point of view, the political character of the teacher is not too bad.........

No wonder after his death, Emperor Huizong cried on the way to Jin: "I regret not listening to the persuasion of the original seeder." ”

This man is very smart and sensible.

Since the Seed Master Dao is so sincere, Yu Yin will no longer have any mustard.

"If you ask for something, there are some."

"Oh?"

"The seed prince also knows that this prince's mansion has just been established now, and there are no people around me who can be used.

He dared to ask the seed for help. If you can help me with some help, I would be very grateful. I can't think of any other requirements. ”

To be honest, the Seed Master Dao was ready for the Yuyin Lion to open his mouth.

I didn't want Yu Yin to make such a request, which made him feel stunned.

The smile on Zhao Chen's face was even stronger. "Ah Weng, I said a long time ago, Xiao Yi is not the unreasonable person, you don't believe it."

In the words, there was a bit of pride.

Zhu Guina's face. He smiled a little and nodded slightly.

The prince's army, that is Zhao Chen's ministry. Increasing manpower, that is also Zhao Chen's manpower...... Yu Yin, this guy, is loyal to the prince, and he can't say that in the future, he will be the prince's right-hand man, and he can cultivate it well.

Thinking of this, Zhu Guina suddenly felt that the member of the military department seemed to be a little lighter.

I knew that Yu Yin was like this, and I should have asked for some benefits from the Seed Master Dao in the first place, it was better than letting him go so easily.

Seed Master Dao's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly looked at Yu Yin a few points higher.

This is a smart man who knows how to advance and retreat!

It's a pity that he is the prince's person, otherwise he would have to ask for it.

But it doesn't matter, Yan Chong and Yan Song are also adults, so let the two of them come over to help, which can be regarded as their own favor. Besides, this great Song Dynasty will be the prince's world sooner or later, and Yan Chongyansong following the prince is also a way out.

The two grandsons of the seed master Dao, the eldest grandson Chong Yanchong and the second grandson Chong Yansong, are both past the age of weak crowns and are working beside Chong Dingguo. Seed Master Dao is also a person who likes to plan for a rainy day, and of course he must have some arrangements for the future of his children and grandchildren.

But no matter how it is arranged, how can it be compared to being a close minister of the prince?

If you don't see Wang Huang Gao Yu and others, it is because of the dragon's merit that he is a very popular minister.

Letting the two grandchildren come can be regarded as an early arrangement......

The seed master smiled and said, "Xiao Yi wants to be with people? ”

Yu Yin's eyes rolled, and he pointed at Hu Yanzhuo with his hand: "General Hu Yan is a famous general, and he can take charge of the Zhu Mansion."

If General Huyan can come, Xiao Yi is willing to be his deputy to assist General Huyan and form the prince's army, I don't know if it is possible? ”

There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure.

Yu Yin felt that he was younger after all, so he wanted Hu Yanzhuo to come over.

It's just that Hu Yanzhuo is the commander of the Ma Military Division of the guard, and in terms of grade, it is much higher than the rate of Zhu Shufu......

The seed master Dao was stunned, and Hu Yanzhuo was also stunned!

Zhao Chen was about to open his mouth to object, but he saw Yu Yin winked at him and signaled him not to speak.

Seed Master Dao glanced at Hu Yanzhuo, and sighed after a while.

Speaking of which, the seed family and the Huyan family also have some friendship. If it weren't for Hu Yanzhuo's later apprenticeship from Jingdong Thirty-six Giant Thieves, the relationship between the two should not be too bad. Come to think of it, Hu Yanzhuo is only less than ten years younger than the Seed Master Dao, but he is already a great minister, and Hu Yanzhuo can ...... looked at Hu Yanzhuo's face of vicissitudes and the resentment of the planter. It's a lot less.

"Well, since Xiao Yi values Hu Yan, I don't know what Hu Yan wants?"

Don't look at Hu Yanzhuo as the commander of the Raush Army, but he has to be suppressed in all kinds of ways, and he has not lived a very happy life.

If you go to the Zhurate Mansion, at least you don't have to suffer from that much pickling.

Hu Yanzhuo thought for a while, "Since Xiao Yi is raised, how dare Hu Yan refuse?"

It's just that. Let Huyan do this house, but it must not be ...... The government rate is the prince's personal guard, and he must be the prince's henchman to serve. Xiao Yi lifted Hu Yan, and Hu Yan became a deputy to help the Yufu rate one or two, and he was satisfied......

Zhu Guina said suddenly: "The old general Huyan is a military attache of the fifth grade, and he will be able to succumb to the government rate."

It's better to be a sacrificial person, firstly, you don't have to work too hard, and secondly, you can also give advice to Xiaoyi. It's not a succumb. ”

Does the prince give up people?

Hu Yanzhuo was suddenly excited!

Seed Master Dao looked at this former little brother and sighed in his heart, "What Gui Gong said is not bad. It's not always suitable to let Huyan be the government rate, if it is not tomorrow, you and I will jointly play the performance, please Huyan be a housekeeper...... Running around for a lifetime, you should also enjoy the blessings. Huyan, for the sake of Xiao Yi's face today, how about the previous contradictions between you and me be written off? ”

Hurrah, old tears.

"Who else does Xiao Yi want?"

"The guards are pro-army and the soldiers and horses are the soldiers. Yang Zaixing.

The former general of the palace, Yu Hou Feng, the general of the guards, the commander of the infantry army, Yu Hou Lingwei, and the deputy envoy of the soldiers and horses of the front of the palace, Gao Yaoqing...... Thinking of these people for the time being, I wonder if the old man can help? ”

The seed master couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and Zhu Guina shook his head again and again.

"Xiao Yi, who are you Dao Gong? How can you bother with these people......

So be it. You make a list and hand it over to the military department. By the way, anyway, you are also a member of the military department, so you can directly talk to Sima Wenji. ”

Yes, these people Yu Yin wants are all small people. Let the seed master come forward, it is really a chicken killer.

However, the sense of the seed master Dao to Yu Yin is much higher.

He nodded at Yu Yin and left with Yao Pingzhong and Zhu Guina.

Zhao Chen also left, but when he went out, he beckoned to Yu Yin and said, "Xiao Yi, remember to go to the East Bedroom Pavilion to find me later." ”

Yu Yin, seeing everyone leave, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Yang Zaixing still had a dissatisfied look on his face, and snorted: "My brother has been wronged like this, how can he be a foreigner?" ”

Yu Yin smiled and patted Yang Zaixing's shoulder: "Da Lang, you don't understand!" ”

Yes, of course Yang Zaixing didn't understand Yu Yin's thoughts.

With this exchange, Yu Yin is no longer alone in the court...... At least, with the recognition of Shidao and others, he is equivalent to being recognized by the Great Song military. No matter how important the old Zhao official family is, the military has always been an indispensable force in the court. Not to mention, Master Dao and Uncle Zhang are both children of the family, and they are also a force to be reckoned with in the scholar class. With them, I think the road in the future will be easier.

As for Yang Zaixing?

Yu Yin is a different arrangement.

To tell the truth, Yang Zaixing stayed in the Guards and Horse Division, and it was the end of his career as a soldier and horse envoy......

Gao Yu is no longer in charge, and Yang Zaixing's backstage is hot, and it is difficult to have a chance to get ahead. It is better to ask him to come over and try to arrange it. For example, it is better to let Yang Zaixing go to serve in Zongze than to stay in the Sanya Forbidden Army.

The reason why he is not allowed to go now is that Zong Ze has not yet gained a firm foothold.

Yu Yin has great trust in Zong Ze, and he also believes that after Zong Ze gains a firm foothold, a large number of people will inevitably be needed...... In this way, Yang Zaixing has a bright future. With Zong Ze taking care of and training, Yu Yin doesn't believe it, Yang Zaixing is really worse than Yue Feilai? Historically, Yue Fei was trained by Zong Ze to achieve his later achievements.

Now, Yu Yin wants to replace Yue Fei with Yang Zaixing!

Maybe Yang Zaixing can't be as good as Yue Fei, but the fertilizer and water don't flow into the fields of outsiders, not to mention, he always has a little bit of a problem with Yue Fei.

Thinking of this, Yu Yin suddenly smiled.

He found that he seemed to have learned some of the ways to survive in the court!

The three provinces and six ministries don't want to, but this Privy Council ...... Sooner or later, there will be a place for him Yuyin. Only in this way will he be able to fulfill his ambitions. However, the prerequisite is to avoid the shame of Jingkang. But how to avoid this shame of Jingkang? …,

Thinking of this question, Yu Yin couldn't help but have another headache.

The previous pride disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by inexplicable helplessness......

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Li Ze, naturally, will not expose the truth.

Not only Li Ze, but also Tang Ke, Geng Nanzhong, Wang Boyan, and Zhang Bangchang will not risk angering the military and expose the matter.

Therefore, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knew that the so-called Xitai Mountain victory was just a lie, but no one stood up to explain it. After all, the combination of the military and the main battle faction is enough to make others feel afraid. As long as the military does not oppose the peace talks, no one will come forward to speak out. But no one thought that the first person to change his mind was Zhao Huan.

The cause of the incident stemmed from Wu Xiaomin's tough attitude and excessive demands.

In the evening, the seed master Dao was handling official business in the military department, and suddenly received an imperial order, saying that Zhao Huan summoned him to enter the palace immediately to meet him.

The Seed Master Dao was startled, and even a little uneasy.

After he received the order, he entered the palace with the attendants and went straight to the Zichen Palace.

The seed master Dao has a ghost in his heart, so along the way, he talked to the inner servant from time to time, wanting to find out the news from the inner servant's mouth.

"The official family was in a very good mood today, but after meeting Li Xianggong before, he was a little unhappy."

The inner servant didn't want to offend the seed master, so he had to answer all questions.

"Lee Sang-ko?"

"It is to know the affairs of the Privy Council, Li Ze, Li Xianggong."

"Isn't Lee Sang-gong negotiating peace with the thieves?"

The chamberlain said: "It's really a negotiation, but you can't negotiate all the time...... Only then did Li Xianggong enter the palace, and then the official family ordered the slaves and maids to come and summon the old Xianggong. The seed prince Mo asked the slave and maid again, and when he saw the official family for a while, he naturally understood. ”

It seems that it is not a leak.

The seed master said that his mood was suddenly much calmer, and he followed the servant into the Zichen Palace.

In the Zichen Palace, the light was a little dim.

Zhao Huan was pacing in the main hall, looking very angry.

As soon as the planter entered, he immediately greeted him and said loudly, "The thief has deceived me too much...... If I have full command with you, can you let those thieves suffer a big loss, and teach them a good lesson, so that they will not be so arrogant. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
