Zhao Ji received the good news from Wang Zhongzheng and was in a good mood. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Sure enough, he lived up to his expectations and won several big cities in a row, which is a huge credit. No matter how successful the battle against Western Xia was, Wang Zhongzheng's exploits were indelible, and Zhao Zhao was destined to not be able to occupy the scenery.

This is enough, coupled with the appropriate guidance of public opinion, it is emphasized that Wang Zhongzheng's merits will overshadow other generals. Then he can also suppress the limelight of King Qin.

In this way, Wang Zhongzheng can also justifiably stay in the northwest and nail into Zhao Zhao's territory, so that he will not be able to live in peace, or even fall apart. Everything is developing according to expectations.

Zhao Ji is very satisfied with this!

It's been a long time since there was such a happy thing.

Immediately, Zhao Ji saw a report from Chang'an. The king of Qin strictly ordered the Jingyuan Road transfer envoy and Chang'an to raise Changping Siwen and Yuan, and transported military rations for the middle route army at all costs.

Seeing this, Zhao Ji's heart began to move.

He knew that the ultimate core target of this battle against Western Xia was Lingzhou. Yanzhou and Weizhou are the gateways of Lingzhou, which city is broken first, which route army can reach the city of Lingzhou as soon as possible and achieve the greatest military achievements.

Wang Zhongzheng has already rushed to Yanzhou, and Liu Changzuo is also fighting fiercely under the city of Weizhou, in case he wants to rush ahead of Wang Zhongzheng, it will be troublesome.

Zhao Ji knew that Liu Changzuo was picked up by Zhao Zhao. In the past, he was framed by Li Fugui, and it was Liu Changzuo and Jing Sili who traveled thousands of miles to Bianjing to testify and avenge him. There is no doubt that they are staunch supporters of Zhao Zhao.

The battle of Lingzhou, how could he seize the opportunity?

The three armies have not moved, and the grain and grass go first, as long as the grain and grass are slightly sluggish, it will definitely be able to delay Liu Changzuo's process. Since Wen Jiyuan is responsible for this matter, then he can be whipped.

Hum!

Zhao Ji smiled coldly. Suddenly, something seemed to be stuck in his throat, so that he coughed continuously, and his face turned red instantly.

It seems that I have taken too much medication recently. Although Zhao Ji thought so in his heart, he had no intention of regretting it. Efforts during this time. It's still very productive.

There are already three princes in the palace, and now another concubine Chen is pregnant, and the imperial doctor claims that it is very likely that she is still a prince. In this way, he has four sons. Now it's okay, there is a successor to the royal family.

At the same time, Zhao Ji also had a very strange idea, that is, to surpass Zhao Zhao in this regard. You're only two sons. I'm about to have four!

It's just that the sons are still too young, and Zhao Xu has already made up his mind to become the crown prince when the sixth son Zhao Xu (the actual boss) is older.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wen Jiyuan has been an official in Chang'an for a long time. Thanks to his profound family knowledge, he has followed his father who was the minister since he was a child, and his ability is still very good.

At least all the government affairs under his management are very proper, and there is nothing wrong with the granary, labor and river transportation in charge. This is a rarity among young officials.

But there is one thing that has always been in Wen Jiyuan's heart, which makes him very difficult. In Chang'an, onlookers naturally have to obey the orders of His Royal Highness King Qin. But the official family actually gave himself a secret mission through his father Wen Yanbo. Pay attention to King Qin's every move and report to the official's family.

Do a spy? Wen Jiyuan never thought that one day, he would have such a task.

To be honest, he is quite disdainful of this behavior of the official family. The dignified emperor should do things above board, why do you use such a means to do this? What's more, King Qin is still a dignified uncle, and it is really a bit disgraceful for the official family to use such methods.

Although he was disdainful, Wen Jiyuan did not dare to refuse. Otherwise, the situation of the Wen family will be very bad, especially when the power is in hand, and the father who has a protégé and a former official all over the world will be very embarrassed and difficult to deal with.

In this regard, his father Wen Yanbo's attitude is that he can't completely refuse, but he can't betray King Qin too much, otherwise he will end up being two-faced. You can only deal with it first, and one day after another, one day, whether active or passive, there will always be a proper solution.

So, Wen Jiyuan took over this somewhat dirty secret errand very unpleasantly. Although I often send secret recitals to the official family, the content is all painless and painless, and I can find out from other channels. Although the official Zhao Ji was very dissatisfied, Wen Jiyuan defended that his official position was not high, and he did not have high access to the core secrets of King Qin, so he could be regarded as fooling.

In this way, although Wen Jiyuan can't feel at ease, at least he is not very guilty, and his life is still passable. But he escaped the first day of junior high school, after all, he couldn't escape the fifteenth, and today he received a secret edict from the official family, asking him to delay the delivery of grain and grass to Liu Changzuo's department in Weizhou.

What does this mean?

Wen Jiyuan didn't know what the official family was planning, and there was already a strong shock in his heart.

The importance of grain and grass to the army is self-evident, what will be the result if the delivery of grain and grass is delayed? Liu Changzuo's delay in advancing speed is small, which is likely to lead to failure, and even affect the victory or defeat of the entire situation.

How could the officials have such a will? He wouldn't have done this without trying, so why do such a strange move?

The open and secret struggle between the emperor and the uncle and nephew of the king of Qin, Wen Jiyuan has also heard of it. In Chang'an, he can also know the battle reports of various armies at the first time.

It is said that the Eastern Route Army Wang Zhongzheng's department has conquered Xiazhou and is now attacking Yanzhou......

The feats and meanings of this are very different! Wen Jiyuan is the son of the prime minister, and these things can still be figured out.

Could it be that the official family is deliberately dragging Liu Changzuo in order to buy time for Wang Zhongzheng? That's ridiculous. Can the war be a child's play?

Wouldn't it be better for the two to meet under the city of Lingzhou? For the sake of the battle with the King of Qin, the official family disregarded the life and death of the front-line soldiers and the safety of the Great Song Dynasty!

What if Wang Zhongzheng is defeated? With his own strength, will he definitely be able to conquer Lingzhou? If you are not careful, this large-scale crusade against Western Xia will end in failure. The tens of thousands of troops in the middle of the road could not sustain their food and grass, and they could not rescue in time, and they even had no time to retreat.

Once the Western Xia counterattacked, what would be the consequences? Can the lives of hundreds of thousands of troops be a joke? If the situation is bad, it is possible that the entire northwestern defense line of the Great Song Dynasty will collapse.

Can't the officials think of this? It is unimaginable that he should do such a despicable thing for his own selfish interests. Wen Jiyuan is a new science and technology scholar, and from childhood to adulthood, he has read the sacred classics of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, and insists on serving the country with loyalty.

But now, he found that there was a contradiction between serving the country and being loyal to the king, and the king was actually endangering national security? Can this king still be loyal?

Suddenly, all the beliefs he had insisted on for many years collapsed, and Wen Jiyuan was incomprehensible and hated Emperor Zhao's approach. After being frustrated and entangled for a long time, Wen Jiyuan made a decision in his heart, ignoring the secret edict of the official family, and focusing on the overall situation.

Now it seems that the official family is too disappointing, but it is His Royal Highness the King of Qin who is the hope of the Great Song Dynasty. Wen Jiyuan silently remembered the scene in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda that day, King Qin was generous and humble, and understood the matter. Even if he did not get along with Wang Anshi and other New Party officials, he still recognized the favorable measures in the reform of the law and implemented them.

Don't judge by your own likes and dislikes, and pursue a rational word in everything, this is the style that Mingjun should have. There is also the monument to the heroes of the Great Song Dynasty built by His Royal Highness King Qin, once upon a time, Wen Jiyuan felt that he had exalted those warriors and soldiers too much. But now it seems that King Qin is not wrong.

Defending the land and defending the country are all warriors and soldiers throwing their heads and spilling blood, why look down on them? They fought the front line, and the emperor did not care about their life and death for some reasons that could not be put on the table...... It's too unfair to the soldiers, King Qin is right, the soldiers should go down in history and enjoy eternal admiration!

Between loyalty and serving the country, Wen Jiyuan chose the latter, he still spared no effort to prepare grain and grass, and sent people to Weizhou on the front line in time. He also knew that his move would inevitably make the official family furious, and the Wen family would inevitably suffer the wrath of thunder. It doesn't matter if he's in Chang'an, but his father, who is in the Daimyo's Mansion, is afraid that he will be implicated......

Wen Jiyuan did not dare to slack off, and immediately wrote to his father in the Daimyo Mansion to inform him of the situation. And he expressed his incomprehensible doubts, hoping that his father could understand and guide himself.

Loyalty to the monarch and serving the country cannot be both, and loyalty and filial piety are also difficult to achieve!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What can a father instruct?" When Wen Yanbo saw his son's letter, he sighed, and the corners of his mouth were full of helpless wry smiles.

Is the son wrong? That's right!

In the books of the sages that I read from childhood to adulthood, the truth of the ancestors is naturally correct, and it is even more correct to serve the country.

What can I say? Could it be that the son doesn't know how to be flexible? But how do you work around? Wen Yanbo himself couldn't think of a proper way, the first rat at both ends, after all, there was no good end.

I can't blame my son for not cooperating, he's not wrong. It's just that in this way, the officials will inevitably be furious. The son is fine in Chang'an for the time being, but what about the rest of the Wen family?

Wen Yanbo knew very well in his heart that he had to give an explanation to the official family. A writer who cannot be absolutely loyal must not be in power, otherwise there will inevitably be a catastrophe of death!

Maybe I'm tired of it for so many years. Now that the storm is surging, it is better to avoid it earlier.

"Jifu, dictate for your father, you come to polish your pen and write a letter of resignation for your father!" Wen Yanbo sighed, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.

"What? Resign? Wen Jifu was surprised.

"Your third brother stays in Chang'an, and as a father, he can't continue to stay in the Daimyo's Mansion!" Looking at Liuzi's slightly lost expression, Wen Yanbo said: "Only in this way can I keep my Wen family safe and have hope!" ”

Regarding the future of the Wen family, maybe the son is right, I hope that on the Chang'an side, it will be enough to have three sons. While the Wen family is safe, there is still hope.

Wen Yanbo believes that this hope is very possible.
