Chapter Ninety-Nine: Zhao Gou's wishful thinking

Yangzhou Mansion, Imperial Palace.

"This time, the Yue Flying Thief is finally in a catastrophe. Hmph, a puppet, delusional disobedience to the destiny of heaven, does not respect the holy will, will never end well! ”

There is a fire lit in the imperial study, and it is warm. Zhao Gou, who was wearing a fur coat, still seemed to feel cold, and from time to time he put his hand on the stove to roast for a while. Zhao Gou is thoughtful, and he has always been moody. But this time maybe I got carried away, and my face was full of joy. "Wang Shumi, you are really my Zhuge Liang! In the name of resisting Jin, the Protector Army conspired against the truth, falsely benevolent and falsely righteous, and deceived the people of the world, which was really a great disaster for the Emperor and Song Dynasty. This time, Lianjin annihilated Yue, and finally this henchman could be eliminated! ”

I can't help but be unhappy. Since the rise of the Protector Army in Yingtianfu, in just half a year, the hearts of the people of the Central Plains have all fallen to Yingtianfu. Many wealthy gentry no longer crossed the river in panic, but moved into Yingtian Xuzhou with all their furniture. And among the people, the people kept talking about Yue Fei. This made Zhao Gou obviously feel threatened. Although Zhao Gou did not have the intention of recovering the Central Plains. But he would rather give the Central Plains to Jin Ren than to Yue Fei, a mud leg.

Of course, to say that Zhao Gouzhen treats Jin Ren as an uncle, it is not necessarily true. The reason why Zhao Gou was willing to join forces with the Jin people to destroy Yue was not just moved by Wang Boyan's clever words. Instead, Zhao Gou believes that the Jin people come from the bitter cold land in the north and are not accustomed to water, as long as their sailors patrol the Yangtze River, the Jin people will never want to cross the river and go south. But if the Protector Army is allowed to develop, once Yue Fei becomes the general trend, with the combat power of the Protector Army, it will be impossible for Yanyun to Expedition in the Northern Expedition. At most, it occupies the south of the Yellow River. But at that time, maybe Yue Fei would attack south. The commanders of the two naval armies under Yue Fei are both world-famous water warriors, and the Yangtze River is not a natural danger to them.

It was out of concern for Yue Fei's two sailors that Zhao Gou decided to join forces with the Jin people. He ordered Han Shizhong to attack Xuzhou, but did not break into Yingtianfu from Huaibei, in addition to being afraid of annoying the Jin people, he also had a careful thought. He didn't want his most capable army to lose too much. Now south of the Yangtze River, the people are in turmoil, and Liu Guangshi and Zhang Jun are fighting fires everywhere, exhausted. If Han Shizhong's army suffered too much loss, it would only make Zhao Gou's rule falter. Therefore, Zhao Gou deliberately hinted at Han Shizhong in his secret decree to Han Shizhong not to attack Xuzhou. When Yue Fei is destroyed in the hands of the Jin people, Xuzhou Mansion may surrender without a fight.

Zhao Gou also has a better wishful thinking. Although he regarded Yue Fei as a rebel, he was also extremely enthusiastic about the combat power of the Protector Army. He felt that even if the two armies and horses of the Jin people attacked together, even if they could kill Yue Fei, they would definitely be greatly injured. At that time, let Han Shizhong coerce the defenders of Xuzhou and counterattack Ying Tianfu, maybe he can snatch the richest Ying Tianfu in the world. At that time, with iron and food in his hands, he no longer has to worry about raising soldiers, and of course he no longer has to knock the bones and marrow of the people in Jiangnan. When the time comes, who will say that he will not be able to become an emperor through the ages?

The more Zhao Gou thought about it, the more he felt that Lianjin Annihilation's move was really high. So he couldn't help but praise Wang Boyan again. "Wang Shumi, if this battle can destroy Yue and weak Jin, I will crown you as the king."

As soon as Zhao Gou's words came out, Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan's faces all changed color. Wang Boyan is excited, and Huang Qianshan is jealous. For more than 100 years of the Emperor and Song Dynasty, the person with a different surname was only Tong Guan. If Wang Boyan really becomes a prince with a different surname, he is really extremely rich.

Wang Boyan's fat body suddenly became extremely flexible, from a posture of sitting upright in the blink of an eye to a posture of throwing five bodies to the ground. "My Emperor Shengming! Thank you, Lord Long. ”

Huang Qianshan suddenly answered in a strange way. "Lord Wang, what the emperor said is that after destroying Yue and weak Jin, he will not crown you king now."

Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan have been friends for a long time, of course they understand Huang's thoughts, and said with a smile, "The destruction of the Protector Army is a foregone conclusion. My emperor is mighty, why should little Yue Fei worry about it! ”

Zhao Gou looked at the two favored ministers in front of him with a smile and was jealous, and his heart was extremely comfortable. Although Zhao Ding and Zhang Jun have always played Wang Huang for being immoral, incompetent, shameless and unjust, Zhao Gou believes that only such a minister will not threaten his status. The worse their reputation in the public opinion, the more inseparable they are from him as a master. Because once Zhao Gou alienates them, they will only be divided and eaten by the people like Cai Jing Zhu Mian.

"Wang Shumi, I heard that there are guests from the north in your house?" Wang Boyan was biting with Huang Qianshan, and Zhao Gou suddenly asked.

Wang Boyan's body trembled slightly, and he immediately knelt on the ground again, and said loudly, "Long live the Holy Ming, the candle shines thousands of miles, and it is clear and subtle, there is nothing in the world that Long Live Lord does not know." To tell you the truth, it was not a guest from my house, but my son-in-law's daughter who fled from the north to the south of the Yangtze River. ”

"Oh?" Zhao Gou hummed silently.

"Hooray, you must know the name of my son-in-law. His surname is Qin Minghui, the word will be the fourth, and the fifth year of Zhenghe Jinshi is the fourth. When the emperor was there, he served as the middle of the imperial history. It's not that I'm praising my son-in-law, it's really iron-clad. During the Jingkang period, he patrolled the north with the second emperor. However, Huizhi has always cherished his homeland, and my daughter is also a fierce Lord, and she swears allegiance to Long live. Finally, seven days ago, taking the opportunity of the slack of the Jin people, he crossed the river by a flat boat. Weichen thought that there were countless courtiers on the Northern Tour, and those who could not forget their homeland and think of long live were only one person. Now long live the first time to ascend to the treasure, the Quartet is disturbed, it is the opportunity to use people. Wechen originally wanted to introduce the meeting to Banzai. However, Huizhi said that he was a minister who had returned from the enemy state, and he had no face to see the Son of Heaven. I just want to be a common man under the wings of the Son of Heaven, and this wish is enough. ”

The smile on Zhao Gou's face became even stronger. He stared at Wang Boyan with unpredictable eyes, and finally let Wang Boyan tell the truth. "Wechen, please long live your sins. Lianjin's strategy to destroy Yue is really my son-in-law's strategy. He said that when he returned to the south this time, he traveled to Xuzhou intermittently, and only heard the righteousness of Yue Fei, but did not see the name of the saint. Huizhi was worried that Yue Fei was gaining momentum and became the likes of Zhang Jiao Huangchao, so he thought hard for a few days and finally came up with that plan. Long live, Weichen is really guilty of bullying the king. ”

Zhao Gou laughed. "What is the sin of Wang Shumi? Huizhi understands the righteousness, the privy does not hide the merits of the people, and you two sons-in-law are loyal ministers of the Emperor and Song Dynasty. ”

Although Huang Qianshan was in cahoots with Wang Boyan, he couldn't help but blush when he saw that Wang Boyan had taken advantage of the holy favor today, and immediately said something yin. "Lord Wang, Qin Huizhi is Xiang Yu Ran Min and the like?"

Wang Boyan's face darkened, and he glared at Huang Qianshan and said, "Lord Huang, what does this mean?" Huizhi is polite and polite, a scholar, how can he be compared with those martial artists? ”

Huang Qianshan smiled, "Oh, it turns out that Huizhi is just a literati. But the old man doesn't understand, I didn't flee back to Jiangnan from the territory of the Jin people with so many elite soldiers, and not only did he flee back, but even your baby daughter was brought back, Gao Ming, really Gao Ming! ”

Wang Boyan was extremely angry and shouted loudly, "Huang Qianshan, what do you mean by this? You are a scholar in vain, do you not know that wisdom is the best, and courage is the bottom? There will be a lot of opportunities to sneak back to Jiangnan, what is there to doubt? Don't think everyone is as stupid as you are. ”

Huang Qianshan saw that Wang Boyan directly accused him of being stupid, and immediately became angry, and quarreled with Wang Boyan again in front of Zhao Gou. Zhao Gou waved his hand, and the two of them immediately closed their mouths.

"Okay, two Aiqing, you are all my arms, how can you quarrel over trivial matters again and again? Qianshan, you are in charge of the battle situation in the Central Plains, and now although the Jin soldiers are attacking Yue Fei, we must not relax our vigilance. Can Wang Jun hold Bianliang? Can Chen Quan hold Luoyang? Also, your people should not be embarrassed by Zongze. Let's settle him in Jinhua as a governor first. This old man has the heart of the righteous army, and if things are not harmonious, we still have to use him. ”

Huang Qianshan immediately said, "Long live rest assured." The arrest of Zong Ze was extremely secretive. Now the Central Plains Righteous Army does not know about this. Lord Chen Quan is a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, and he is full of wisdom, so it must be no problem to hold Xijing. As for the Flying Eagle Wang Jun, Weichen had already secretly instructed him to burn Bianliang when he couldn't hold it. Anyway, the old capital of our Emperor Song Dynasty must not fall into the hands of Jin Ren and Yue Fei. Presumably Wang Jun will not disappoint Banzai Ye. ”

Zhao Gou said with a little regret, "It's a pity that the double sword general Li Cheng." I admire him very much. But he only obeyed Zong Ze's orders and did not listen to the holy decree. Alas, Fang Lan Shengmen has to be removed. ”

sighed with emotion, Zhao Gou said to Wang Boyan again, "Boyan, I also know that I am a loyal minister and a capable minister." You can bring him into the palace tomorrow, and I want to talk to him. ”

Wang Boyan nodded yes.

Zhao Gou turned his face to the north and muttered, "I wonder if the Protector Army and the Jin Soldiers are at war?" ”

Just when Zhao Gou was looking forward to receiving the news of the destruction of the Protector Army, on the shore of Dongting Lake, tens of thousands of Maitreya disciples wrapped in red scarves rose up. They took the Heavenly King Zhong Xiang as the leader, the Earth King Yang Qi as the deputy leader, Yang Qin, Xia Cheng, Huang Zuo, Liu Heng, and Jin Zong as the five vanguards, and swore an uprising outside the city of Dingzhou.

"Zhao Song has no way, fears gold like a tiger, but regards the people as thieves. Since the king Zhao crossed the river, hundreds of thousands of soldiers plundered my people and mutilated my wife and daughter. The king has repeatedly increased taxes, corrupt officials and officials have been exploited layer by layer, and my people have been suffering for a long time! Now I am Zhong Xiang, standing under the sky, pointing to the sun as an oath, I Maitreya taught to raise troops, not for wealth, but for the people of the world to fight for justice. and other noble and low, rich and poor, divided into acres. The parents of the people are the parents of my favorite picture. The wives and children of the people are all the wives and children of my Zhongxiang. Those who dare to kill the people without permission will be punished by the CCP. The prefect Wang Wen, who was originally a protΓ©gΓ© of the traitorous minister Wang Boyan, was an official of Dingzhou, and he suffered a lot from my people. In less than a year, the people of Dingzhou have lost their families and property. In today's battle, first break Dingzhou, kill Wang Wen, save the people, kill the king, and build a Buddha country! ”

"Kill Wang Wen and save the people. Kill the king and build a Buddhist country. ”

Tens of thousands of red scarves shouted in unison, frightening Wang Wen at the head of Dingzhou City. Zhong Xiang waved his hand forward, and tens of thousands of Maitreya disciples carried the cloud ladder, and the ants were attached to the siege of the city. The city was sieged at noon, and at sunset, Dingzhou was broken. Wang Wen was cooked. Since Fang La, the banner of Maitreya has been raised again in the south of the Yangtze River.
