Chapter 80: Sending troops to the court

Zhao Kuangyin turned around and left, he didn't know that after he left, Zhao Xu was standing behind him, watching him leave and not knowing what he was thinking. Pinshu.com(wWW.VoDtw.coM)

On the first day of the first month of the seventh year of Zhou Xiande, that is, the first day of the new year of Gengshen, everyone came to the emperor to pay New Year's greetings.

New Year's greetings are a traditional Chinese folk custom, which is a way for people to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. What we usually know is that on the first day of the first month, the head of the family leads the juniors to go out to meet relatives, friends, and elders, and congratulate each other on the New Year with auspicious words.

New Year's greetings in the Central Plains since ancient times, the ministers to the emperor of the New Year's ceremony is more grand, accompanied by ritual music, with the celebration of the music, the ministers to the emperor three kneels and nine knocks, and then the emperor also gives the ministers snacks to show grace.

It is almost morning for the ministers to be busy, and everyone not only needs to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor but also to roughly talk about the plan for this year, and there must always be a general direction, just like the current construction has a plan or plan for several years.

Everyone has their own opinions, and they take turns to say something in the court, Wenchen is concerned about the stability of the people's livelihood and the political situation, and the military generals just want to expand the territory, and the military generals are mainly based on Fan quality, and the military generals are mainly based on Zhao Kuangyin.

After Fan Zhen finished speaking, Zhao Kuangyin walked out from the front of the generals, and first saluted the empress dowager and the emperor before saying:

"Playing the emperor, the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be united for a long time, and the unification of the world is the trend of the times, and it is the last wish of the emperor, so Weichen put it forward, hoping that the emperor and the queen mother and the ministers can brainstorm, whether it is the south and then the north or the north and then the south, to calm the chaos."

The little emperor on the dragon chair has been walking for a long time, and he has long been impatient, making him an eight-year-old child, it is really difficult for him to do it for so long, so what do you still want to play?

Seeing this, Zhao Kuangyin frowned slightly, but his performance was not obvious, and he continued: "I don't know what the Queen Mother's decree is?" ”

Where did Empress Dowager Fu hear what Zhao Kuangyin said, she was busy pulling the little emperor to prevent him from moving, and the little guy was now trying to slide down to the dragon chair. Hearing Zhao Kuangyin ask her what she meant, where did she hear something, and she didn't have any ideas.

She didn't understand, but she remembered that her husband Chai Rong said that if she didn't understand anything about internal affairs, she could ask Fan Qian, so she put it up on the shelf:

"What is Fan Xiang's opinion?"

Fan Qian, who was sitting on the bench, immediately rose up and bowed slightly:

"The Empress Dowager, the Emperor, the old minister thinks that it is the last wish of the emperor to unify the world, but that is the future, the future" Fan Zhen said and looked at Zhao Kuangyin embarrassedly, he and Zhao Kuangyin had a good relationship, Chai Rong was at that time, and they jointly assisted the young lord to unify the world.

"Things in the future, as the goal of the future imperial court, maybe wait for the emperor to grow up and make a decision after he is personally recruited."

After hearing this, the young queen mother quickly calmed down:

"Fan Xiang is right, since the first emperor ascended the throne, he has been fighting for many years, and the soldiers are very hard, it is better for everyone to recuperate in the past few years, and the matter of unifying the world will be talked about later."

The meaning of the Queen Mother is already obvious, that is, the matter of reunification, let's talk about it later! Everyone was silent, but Zhao Kuangyin's face changed.

It seems that Fan Zhen and the Queen Mother have discussed it a long time ago, and they will not agree with my opinion, so I will ask you one last question

"Empress Dowager Qi, although there have been wars in our dynasty for many years, we will win every battle, and our morale is like a rainbow, so we can take this opportunity to fight in one go. Join and let them disarm and return to the field, they don't repair the army, and then let them serve the country at that time, I'm afraid that the morale is not as good as now, so the minister still thinks that now is the best time. ”

Brother Chai, this is my last chance for the Queen Mother, if they still insist on going their own way, for the sake of our reunification, I can only be sorry for Da Zhou.

At this time, the queen mother, the emperor and the ministers didn't know what Zhao Kuangyin was thinking, and when she heard Zhao Kuangyin say this, the queen mother didn't pay attention again, so she turned to Han Tong again.

Han Tong and Zhao Kuangyin are both standing in the ranks of military generals, and Han Tong is now the deputy commander of the guards and pro-army Ma Bujun, that is, the second-in-command of the guards and pro-army Ma Bujun.

Han Tong is eight feet long and tall, and it stands to reason that he should be a great man, but you don't think so when you look at his appearance. He has a black face, and even Zhao Xu's bodyguard Dong Xuanye is not as good as him.

At the same time, he has a pair of small eyes, and he can't see the eyeballs when he squints, but such a pair of eyes seem to emit fine light. He is at odds with Zhao Kuangyin, and he is against Zhao Kuangyin everywhere.

Thinking about the time he has followed Taizu and the time of the first emperor is longer than Zhao Kuangyin, and his qualifications are older than you Zhao Kuangyin, but Zhao Kuangyin is even better than himself, which makes him feel extremely unbalanced.

"Empress Dowager, the minister also agreed to recuperate." Saying that, he looked at Zhao Kuangyin proudly, I don't agree with what can you do, what can you do to me? But before he could finish speaking, a person hurried in from outside.

An urgent envoy from the border pass, a messenger from the northern frontier, came to report the urgent affairs of the frontier, he ran in and only shouted: "The border pass is urgent." Then he fainted.

Zhao Kuangyin immediately stepped forward to check it, this person was tired and fainted, so he ordered Ran to carry him down, and he took care of it, and the piece of music he was holding in his hand had already reached the hands of the Empress Dowager Fu.

I saw that Empress Dowager Fu's face was getting more and more ugly, and everyone didn't know what she said, at this time, the old prime minister Fan Zhen stepped forward again and asked Zhang Dejun to show him the border pass report.

"Zhenzhou and Dingzhou jointly reported that the Khitan and the Northern Han Dynasty jointly attacked, and went straight to Kaifeng, hoping that the imperial court would send a large army to help."

This time the Khitan is from the north to the south, the Northern Han is marching to the east, there is no joint march, the Northern Han and the Khitan are not the first time, what the hell is Liu Jun doing this time, Da Zhou, I am still afraid of him. But this time it's really different.

Because the two countries attacked the Great Zhou in the past were on the frontier, if you stand next to the map, you will definitely find that the direction of these two armies is Bianjing, and their target this time is the capital of the Great Zhou, and they are not entangled with the soldiers on the frontier, and go straight to Kaifeng.

Originally, Fan Zhen thought that this time they had negotiated, it was to let their own people lie about the military situation, deceive Zhao Kuangyin out of the capital, and then uproot his power in the capital. He had discussed this matter with Han Tong before.

Han Tong was also very happy, he also thought that this was arranged by Fan Qian, so he knew that Zhao Kuangyin would soon be transferred out of the capital and would soon be replaced.

"What do you think is good about this?" Empress Dowager Fu was in a hurry, and the orphans and widows had no idea, so they could only ask for help from the ministers in the court again, but fortunately, these courtiers were his husband's most loyal courtiers.

Her words fell, and no one accosted her, everyone was thinking in their hearts, just now she said that she wanted to recuperate, who dared to say that she wanted to send troops at this time, the most important thing is that she and others don't know what the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister think.

Everyone has a candidate in their hearts, and they are fighting in turns, and the civil and military enemies of the Manchu Dynasty are all inspected in front of the palace, the envoy of the Song Zhou Festival, and the Taiwei Zhao Kuangyin. From the first year of Xiande to the present, Zhao Kuangyin has been in charge of the army for six years, and the soldiers admire him very much, and he has made a lot of contributions under his hands.

Everyone has another candidate in their hearts, that is Zhao Xu, the former Marquis of Yu, some officials who are not qualified to know the inside story, I don't know why the court doesn't use him after Zhao Xu disappears and returns? But he's not their concern.

It's not a matter that everyone didn't gnaw, which was very unpleasant to the queen mother. It is the loyal minister Fan Zhen who stood up, and I have to say that Fan Zhen played a great stabilizing role in the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty during the time of Chai Rong.

"The Northern Han and Khitan are united into the Kou", Fan Zhen was a little surprised in his tone, and at the same time glanced at Han Tong, who was in the forefront of the generals, blaming him for making this movement too big, originally according to his meaning, an urgent battle report would be enough, who asked you to report that the two states had been invaded.

But now is not the time to blame him, let's get the matter in front of you right:

"The Queen Mother, the Northern Han Dynasty and the Khitan are united into the Kou, and the Empress Dowager can give an order to lead the army north to resist the enemy, Lord Zhao is brave and strategic, and the deputy capital checks Murong Yanzhao is brave and good at fighting, and they will definitely return victorious."

After Fan Zhen finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement, and asked who else in the Manchu Dynasty could compare to Zhao Kuangyin, since the prime minister said so, what else do we have to say?

"Minister, Wang Pu, also agrees with Lord Zhao leading the troops to the battle." This unconventional partner, the right minister, Wang Pu, immediately jumped out, and my own old partner shouted and cheered. At this time, the two prime ministers supported Zhao Kuangyin's expedition, and everyone reconsidered it one after another.

"Since all the secretaries are recommended, Lord Zhao, are you willing to lead the troops to the battle?" Empress Dowager Fu held the little emperor with one hand and said.

It seems that you still don't want to let me go, and in that case I don't have any scruples, which may be providential; "The minister will never give up."

"Okay, I decreed that Zhao Kuangyin be appointed as the marshal, and Murong Yanzhao will be the vanguard to lead the troops to resist the invasion of the Northern Han and Khitan."

Soon the tone has been set, Zhao Kuangyin led the troops to the battle, at this time Fan Zhen and Han Tong and others were all relieved, only Zhao Kuangyin left the capital to do it, I, Han Tong, as the capital inspector, are you afraid that you can't control the situation?

"The old man congratulated Lord Zhao on his victory and early return." After going down to the court, Han Tong hurriedly ran over to congratulate Zhao Kuangyin. In fact, what he wanted to say in his heart was, Zhao Kuangyin, don't think about coming back when you go out this time.
