"No!" Su Ming hurriedly got up, trotted out all the way, and told the maid eunuch waiting outside the palace to hurry up and make tea. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
With little effort, Su Ming came in with a delicate tray with his own hands, picked up the delicate jade pot full of hot tea in the tray, poured the hot tea into the glass cup, and served it with both hands.
Zhao Huan took the tea, stroked the heat with the tea lid, took a sip gently, and sat on the brocade chair behind him. After closing his eyes for a short moment, he opened them suddenly.
"Send someone! Go and call Li Gang! I have something to ask him! Zhao Huan said.
"No!" Su Ming said. was about to turn around and leave to give orders, but was stopped by Zhao Huan.
"Oh, by the way, arrange it again, Li Gang will accompany me to the Taishang Courtyard later, and I will go to Taishang to discuss military affairs." Zhao Huan said.
"The servant obeys!" Su Ming respectfully turned around and walked out of the main hall.
Zhao Huan rubbed his somewhat numb head, shook it vigorously, and drank all the tea in the cup in one gulp, inevitably feeling a little lost in his heart, he had been in charge for nearly a year, but nothing good happened. The Jin people have repeatedly violated the border, but they are invincible, and now the Jin people have driven straight into Bianliang, but the team of those Qin Wang, all of them are dragging and procrastinating, and they have not come yet. Can my Great Song have a useful general?
Suddenly, Zhao Huan thought of Liu Ping, the guy who created a miracle in Taiyuan, well, yes, maybe Liu Ping and his Yongding Army are here, and they will be able to make a difference, and there is still the Northwest Frontier Army, I still have hundreds of thousands of elite Northwest Frontier Army, and I will not lose! No, it won't! It's a big deal to pay those gold barbarians, gold and silver, as long as I don't break through my Bianliang City, everything is easy to say! Zhao Huan secretly cheered himself up.
Although it is somewhat difficult.
The Zhao family has won the Central Plains for more than 100 years, and every emperor of the Zhao family who succeeded to the throne may have acted according to this process since Zhenzong. Let's not talk about the alliance of Tanyuan, which was beaten by the Liao State to the Yellow River, if it weren't for Kou Laoxi's forced suppression of Zhenzong's imperial conquest and barely resisted the attack of the Liao, it would have to be Xiao Yanyan (Xiao Yanyan: the maiden name of the Empress Dowager of Liao. In addition, the concubine Han Derang was beaten to the south to play in the mud, and finally signed a brotherly covenant, with the Great Liao as the brother and the Great Song as the younger brother, and the Liao State was given a New Year's Dollar every year, and the border was too peaceful. Then, in the hands of Emperor Huizong, the five-way war finally made a futile return, labored the people and lost money, and had to reduce military spending, so that the northwest border army was bitter, just said that this maritime alliance, and the Jin people signed an alliance to attack the Liao country together, but I didn't expect to be killed and injured by the Liao people's last heroes Yelu Dashi and Xiao Gan by the Sorghum River. had to retreat. Now this golden man has gained a general trend, but he is a wolf-hearted leopard, and he opened his fangs at Da Song and bit in hard. How should this Great Song Dynasty, which was originally heavy on literature and light on martial arts, spend this crisis in this crisis, which is the most feared thing in the hearts of countless people in Bianliang City.
In Bianliang City, it is getting late at this moment, and the originally lively night market is no longer crowded at the moment. In addition to the forbidden army that keeps shuttling through the streets, there is no longer a lively crowd, and among the fence and tile houses, there is no longer the hustle and bustle of drunken gold fans, and the noise of dogs and horses is left, leaving only a few lonely women of the Washer sitting in vain outside, and it is easy to see a pedestrian in a hurry, and he wants to pull in, but he is torn apart by the man, and it is replaced by weekdays, at this time, the fireworks on the street have long been said to be lively, how can it be as crowded as at this moment. Three or five of the three or five archways in charge of the station door to solicit [prostitution ~ guest ~ ~ q Zhao Niang all gathered together, taking advantage of their own mother is not there, quietly gathered together to chat.
"What a bad luck! This group of stinky men has also disappeared in the past two days. It's all gone. A girl with heavy makeup covered her forehead with a handkerchief and said angrily.
"Who said no, which of the officials who came and went in the past did not come in first. But now no one dares to come. The other girl said.
"It's not because the Jin people outside the city have already attacked, hey~~ The slave family has heard about it, those Jin people, kill people without blinking, I heard my brother from Xiangzhou say that the Jin people in Linzhang have slaughtered the city, whether it is the old man or the child, they have all been killed. The women in the city were killed directly after they were all spoiled by the Jin people!! Another Zhao Niang clutched her chest and looked scared.
"Yo Yo, look at you scared, but I've also heard that those golden people and tartars, all of them are fierce and vicious, the raw hideous stench, fishy all over the body, the group under the crotch is like a wild donkey, if you really enter our Bianliang, you won't toss all the girls in our city to death!" A Zhao Niang brother smiled.
"Phew! You faceless prodigal hoof, God knows if you're looking forward to the golden man coming in. If you return a wild donkey's big object, you won't be afraid to toss you to death! Another Zhao Niang scolded with a smile.
When he was laughing, an old bustard in the archway came out, and his fat body walked to the side of the street with difficulty, looking at the girls who were chatting and coughing, which frightened several chatting girls to disperse.
"A bunch of little ones who are going to die! Disturb~! Hoof! Zi 2, one by one, I know that I eat for nothing, I am chatting here, I let you come out to let you attract business, you are actually chatting here, are you all loose, tired of life, another day I will let the martial arts turtle slaves in the nursing home tie you all up, one person smokes dozens of whips, three days without food, see if you still have the spirit to chat with the old lady here!! The fat old bustard had heavy makeup on his face, one hand crossed his waist, and the other pointed at the girls and scolded.
Frightened, several girls knelt on the ground and begged their mothers to spare their lives.
"Why don't you go to the street to solicit customers for me!" The old bustard said.
"But, Mom, there really isn't anyone on this street." A girl said boldly.
"Smack!!" The old bustard waved his hand and slapped the girl who spoke, and said meanly: "Let you go to solicit, you think that the guest is standing there and let you pull so easily, wait, in another hour, you prodigal hooves will not be able to pull a guest, give me a sleep in the firewood room tonight!" ”
"Yes, Mom!" The women dodged one after another.
Suddenly, more than a dozen sturdy men came from the east, escorting a carriage, coming from afar, each man was a powerful man, and at first glance he was a practitioner, each of them was a brocade robe, and they all seemed to have the atmosphere of marching.
When the group of girls saw someone coming, they all stepped forward to solicit them, but they were all thrown out by those strong men like chickens, and came straight to the old bustard.
"A few people, a few masters, are you going to come in and have fun?" The old bustard is well-informed and knows that the person in front of him is not a person to be messed with.
"Mother Xu, you can recognize me." A voice was heard, and a middle-aged man got out of the carriage. The person known as Mother Xu looked up, but it was Liang Shicheng.
"Oops, it turned out to be Lord Liang! The old maid has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, Lord Liang, hurry up and be affectionate! The old bustard said with a flattering expression.
"No need, our family is here today to pick up Lady Li!" Liang Shicheng said lightly.
"Oh, oh, the maid understands, and the maid immediately goes to arrange it, and asks the master to dress up and go to serve there." The old bustard said well-behaved.
"You don't have to go through that much, I'll just go in and take Li Nushi with me." Liang Shicheng said lightly.
"Don't bother Lord Liang, the little girl will just leave."
As soon as I was about to enter, I saw Master Li moving lightly from the door of the archway with light makeup, and slowly walked out.
"Female Envoy Li is really smart, so Liang won't say much. Let's go! Liang Shicheng said lightly.
"I'm tired." As soon as Master Li returned the salute, he got into the carriage by himself. Liang Shicheng also got on the horse, and everyone could turn their heads and leave directly.
All this was quietly watched by a few people in the distance.
"Let's go! Go back and tell Commander Zhang, it seems that Liang Shicheng has been dispatched, and this emperor is leaving tonight! The man whispered.
Several people left quietly and came to Zhang Xian, who was hidden in Bianliang, Zhang Xian listened to the report of several people, frowned, thought about it, and wrote a note, wrapped it in an envelope, gave it to his henchmen, and ordered it to be sent to Li Xiangxian first.

Zhao Huan, who had just rested for a while, was sitting on a chair to check the excerpts of various matters in the city, the mobilization of the forbidden army of the city defense, the manpower of the people stationed in the city, the documents reported by the city mention department and the soldiers and horses department, just reviewed a few excerpts, looked up, and found that Li Gang had come to the main hall, it turned out that after the court meeting, Li Gang rested in a porridge shop on Maqian Street, which is also Li Gang's habit for many years after the retreat from the court, and he planned to take a break to check the city defense. After all, the Jin soldiers outside Bianliang City besieged the city, even if they could rely on the tall city walls and wait for reinforcements, after all, the country was besieged, and the people in the city were panicked. Thinking of this, Li Gang's head hurt a little.
If that guy Liu Ping is here, maybe that guy should have some way, Li Gang said secretly, I don't know where that kid is with the team now.
While thinking about it, a loyal servant came to Li Gang's side and said respectfully: "Master, that shopkeeper sent this, saying that he would hand it over to you by his subordinates." Saying that, he handed over an envelope note, Li Gang opened the envelope, and after reading it, his face changed greatly, even if he wanted to get up to find Zhao Huan, he just took people out of the porridge shop, but he didn't expect to summon himself with Su Ming, the eunuch who came to summon him in the palace, and brought the people in the palace to summon him, and he happened to follow him directly into the palace.
"Aiqing, you're here." Zhao Huan saw Li Gang coming in, and said with a smile, he still has a lot of trust in this newly appointed secretary of the military department. At least Li Gang, like other courtiers, only knows how to climb the meeting, but can concentrate on doing things, and his attitude towards the Jin people is not only to negotiate and cede land compensation, but to fight the main battle. So for Li Gang, Zhao Huan is very trusting.
