Chapter 12: The Edge Has Already Appeared (11)
"Isn't it already seven?"
When the seed master got the number of Liao ministers who were willing to serve from the seed master, he was surprised that the princes of the court had not changed their ways.
"It's only seven!"
The tea cup was picked up, and the tea in the cup was glowing with blue color, and it was fried green tea leaves.
Roasted green tea leaves are now more and more on the market, and they are easy to make and drink, but they are more cumbersome to pack and transport. Unlike tea bricks and tea cakes, which can be stacked one by one, they are generally packed in bamboo tubes, and the price is not low. The roasted Qingshan tea from the Qinling Mountains is already comparable to the dragon group in Fujian.
But he didn't care so much, the tea that had been on the table for a while was warm, he raised his neck and took a few sips, and then threw it on the table. There were a few crunching bells, all of which were irritating sounds.
Seeing the appearance of the planter, the planter knew that his fifth uncle, not long after he came to the capital, was already impatient with this peaceful day of doing things step by step.
"Isn't it because those people are too low?" The seed master guessed, but a pair of eyes from the upper seed immediately changed his words, "Also, if it can be sent to the queen mother, it won't be low." β
He stared at his nephew and sat down with a calm face.
Dissatisfied with Yelu Yixin's usurpation of the throne, he was willing to become an internal response, and now there are seven people who have sent the news.
There are already more than ten secret letters on the desk of the Queen Motherβa few of whom eagerly sent a few letters of honestyβfrom Xijing Road and Nanjing Road in the north of Hedong and Hebei, respectively.
In the letter, the sender hoped that the imperial court would send troops north as soon as possible, and that they would come out to serve the Great Song Dynasty when the official army arrived.
The status of these seven people is not very high in the Liao Kingdom, but they are all figures with heads and faces in their respective regions, and it is not difficult to influence a city and a pool and shake the hearts of the local people.
The value of the promises of these people is no less effective than that of the Khitan ministers who traveled around the world with the bowl. The seven people are scattered in the border states of Liao, as long as one of their votes can be successful, it is equivalent to the prelude, and countless Liao people will rush to vote.
The enemies in Hedong and Hebei are like this, and the divination people in the north of the Lingwu region will not observe festivals for the Liao. Although the group of Tartars had not yet evolved to the point of being able to write, they were smart enough to distinguish between the Great Song Dynasty, who held a knife in one hand and money in the other, and the Liao Kingdom, which held a knife in both hands, which was a more worthy master to follow.
In the eyes of the planters, there is no better time than now. If Yelu Yixin sat on the throne, the situation of Song and Liao fighting in the north and south would continue.
"There are so many internal responses, at least the court has to change its rhetoric."
"It's only seven." "If there are a dozen or twenty people, and a few important ministers from the north, there is no need to talk about it." β
If the Liao State has one or two subordinate ministers or just a slightly inferior minister, it will be difficult for Han Gang, who is the most opposed, to insist on his own opinion.
As for the problem of insufficient preparation, as long as there is that heart, it is not a problem at all for today's Da Song.
If his brother Chong Jianzhong was here, he would probably ask a few more words, but not in the seed master. In the past ten years, he has not been able to earn much military merit.
"If it weren't for Wang Pingzhang's selfishness, it wouldn't have become such a situation."
has an uncle who is a captain.,The planter knows more about the situation in the court than the average courtier.γ
Wang Anshi also supports sending troops, but the intention of this important military matter in Pingzhang is not to destroy Liao, at least most of them are not.
In the case of the non-cooperation of the two governments, the Pingzhang militaristic affairs only have the right to make suggestions and cannot control the government affairs. Among the three people in Dongfu, Han Jiang, Han Gang, and Zhang Qi are each in charge of a piece and get along well, and none of them will be willing to let Wang Anshi's hand come in.
It is obvious that after the court was calm for a while, Wang Anshi was ready to take advantage of this Liao crisis to pull Lu Huiqing back from Hebei.
"It doesn't matter what Wang Pingzhang thinks, what matters is what Lu Xuanhui thinks."
With Lu Huiqing's temper, is he willing to be recruited into the Beijing division by making trouble, or is he willing to rely on military exploits to make the court have nothing to say?
He was sure that Lu Huiqing would never have the same idea as Wang Anshi, and in a few days, the situation on the border of Hebei would definitely change.
The seed master nodded, "If the imperial court is willing to send troops, it must be the fifth uncle." β
Chong Mo shook his head: "I also want Guo Er not to fight." β
"Isn't Guo Shumi against sending troops?"
Chong Ge snorted, his dissatisfaction overflowing, "When did he tell the words to death?" β
The planter was stunned for a moment, "Yes! β
"That old fox is much more difficult than Guo Zun." He pouted.
He also dealt with Guo Kui's brother Guo Zun, Guo Zun was a fierce general in the famous Zhen army, a pair of iron shovels, an iron spear, in the battle of Sanchuankou, several in and a few out, swept the western thieves, until the most Lu was tripped and dismounted, only to die in battle. Compared with Guo Zunlai, who is the champion of the three armies, Guo Kui is more inclined to strategy and use of soldiers, and his martial arts are not too outstanding.
Guo Kui has always been very low-key in the court, and on the surface, he followed the other Zaifu to oppose the sending of troops, but his opposition was only on the sidelines. As long as there is a slight change in the wind, he will certainly be happy to stand on the side of the support.
Maybe some generals such as Chu general Zhaoyang, after becoming famous, do not dare to draw snakes and add more, and after achieving the highest position that a military general can reach, they are unwilling to take risks again. But Guo Kui is definitely not such a person.
He has suffered a lot of anger under Guo Kui and regards it as a goal to surpass in his life, so he also knows Guo Kui very well.
Guo Kui is not old. Attacking Liao, destroying Liao, a good opportunity for eternity, this kind of temptation, Chong Ge can't stand it, he believes that Guo Kui can't stand it either.
"If my brother can come back sooner, he will be able to know the truth of the Liao Kingdom......" Halfway through the middle of the planter's words, he suddenly looked abrupt and asked nervously, "Then the traitor won't detain the mission, right?" β
He snorted, "What are they doing with Yelu Yixin keeping nineteen?" In plain terms, there is an extra ration. β
If the mission to Liao can bring back the internal information of Liao, whether to send troops or not will be decided in a word. Among the three envoys, Wang Cun is a literati, Xiang Ying is a relative, and the only one who really knows the soldiers is his own nephew. Some words came out of his mouth and would be irrefutable proof.
Merely......
Chong Ge unconsciously picked up the teacup, but found that Fang had already drunk it for him, and put the teacup on the table, the world-famous veteran frowned,
If there is civil strife in Liao, it will be difficult for Chong Jianzhong to come back, if he can come back peacefully, it will prove that the Liao State is calm and calm, and at the same time, Yelu Yixin has enough confidence to control the Liao State.
In this way, it is better not to come back?
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Seven!?"
"There will be more after Jeruyisin usurps the throne." Han Jiang said leisurely.
Han Wei hasn't returned to Beijing for a long time, but the dispute between Wang and Han is still very well understood.
Turn party struggle into national struggle. In the distance, there are the Niu Party and the Li Party, and in the near area, there are the old and new parties. There are too many precedents for Wang Anshi and Han Gang's son-in-law in their current situation.
Frowning and thinking for a while, Han Wei asked, "Is Wang Jiefu planning to retreat?" β
He and Wang Anshi are old friends, and Wang Anshi's style this time is very different from the Wang Jiefu in his memory. If it was just for an extra assistant in the court, there was no need to do it.
"Perhaps. Maybe I'm tired. Recruiting Han Gang as his son-in-law may make Wang Jiefu regret it even more than being an in-law with Wu Chongqing. Han Jiang laughed, "Recruit Lu Huiqing to come back and fight with Han Gang." β
Han Wei shook his head slightly: "Lu Huiqing is not a puppet at the mercy of others. β
"Can he make the forbidden army in Hebei move?!" Han Jiang sneered.
As the prime minister, he will not watch the border ministers exceed the power given by the imperial court.
"If the Liao army on the border provokes, can the officers and soldiers endure humiliation? If the official army fought back, what could the court say? Han Gang could have done this back then! β
What Han Gang did in Hedong back then, of course Lu Huiqing can also do.
When the border comes and goes, conflicts turn into wars. Once the discussion of the imperial court was triggered, when the discussion of the scholars was based on shame, how could the imperial court rebuke an important minister who was bent on restoring his homeland.
Since Han Gang had done this, he knew how to deal with it. Lu Huiqing also does not have Han Gang's prestige in Hedong. β
is not a disciple of the Medicine King, without an imperial edict, can Lu Huiqing move a few generals in border states? Han Jiang didn't believe that Lu Huiqing had this ability.
"Han Gang would have done it a long time ago if he could handle it. He cares too much about his reputation. Han Wei said, shaking his head.
If Lu Yijian, a prime minister with a strong heart who sneers at Shilin's remarks, he can still ignore Shilin's remarks. But since Han Gang became Zaifu, he has been timid in doing things, wanting to be a powerful minister who controls the government and a saint who educates sentient beings, so it is impossible for both sides to succeed.
"Those who chase two rabbits are not allowed to eat. The last thing Han Gang shouldn't be is to be too greedy! β
Han Wei asked himself if he was in Han Gang's position, and he had the Queen Mother's wholehearted trust, he had already been looking for something to target the New Party, what Wang Anshi did back then, just learn from it. With the number of the new party in the court, there are flaws all over the body. It's a pity that Han Gang didn't want to get his hands dirty, and he dragged out the matter that should have been solved a long time ago.
Han Jiang's mouth moved, but he didn't say anything.
He and Han Wei are not brothers of the same mother, although they are blood relatives, there are times when they have to be careful.
And his views are also somewhat the same as Han Wei's, originally Han Jiang thought that Han Gang was a decisive person, very wise in doing things, and would never be a mother-in-law, but he didn't expect that he would always be soft in political battles. And this time, he behaved more at both ends.
If you focus too much on reputation, everything will not go well. Otherwise, with Han Gang's performance in Hengshan back then, why did he entangle with the New Party for so long?
