The changes in the imperial court were all expected by Wu Shaogang, the emperor really expressed dissatisfaction with the left prime minister Wu Qian, the right prime minister, the privy envoy Jia Rudao and others, seized the opportunity to step up their efforts to squeeze out Wu Qian, so that Wu Qian felt exhausted, after careful consideration, he took the initiative to resign from the post of left prime minister, and planned to go home in seclusion, but the matter was far from being so simple, Jia Rudao did not want to let go of Wu Qian at all, and continued to create public opinion in the court, and finally the emperor decreed that Wu Qian would be degraded to Xunzhou.

Xunzhou, which is now Huiyang, Guangdong, is one of the most remote places in the Southern Song Dynasty.

This time the denunciation was carried out very thoroughly, and when the holy decree was issued, Wu Qian was forced to leave the capital and go to Xunzhou to take office, and there were special escorts along the way to prevent Wu Qian from delaying time.

After Wu Qian was reprimanded, the officials who supported him immediately changed direction and began to cling to Jia Nidao.

After Wu Qian was reprimanded to Xunzhou, Jia Nidao finally completely controlled the power of the court, and also won a high degree of trust from the emperor.

Li Siqi once reminded Wu Shaogang, is it at this time to express his meaning, you must know that the armies under the front division of the palace, many commanders, generals and deputy generals, etc., all went to visit Jia Nidao and expressed their loyalty, in order to leave a good impression, including Zhang Shijie, the deputy commander of the front division of the palace and the commander of the urging army, all made a special trip to visit Jia Yidao.

Wu Shaogang had no such intention at all.

It is natural to follow the trend, Jia Nidao is a traitor, and he is one of the few traitors in history, the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty cannot require Jia Nidao to be fully responsible, but he has an unshirkable responsibility, but under today's historical conditions, if Wu Shaogang does not want to cling to Jia Nidao, it is very likely that he will be excluded, or not taken seriously, and the final ambition will not be realized.

Wu Shaogang, who has crossed over, has always been very rational in his thinking, and it is precisely because of his rational thinking and choice that he was able to gain a foothold in a short period of time and slowly begin to develop his own strength.

It's a pity that Wu Shaogang has his own bottom line, and in his heart, he can't follow the flames and become powerful by attaching himself to Jia Rudao.

Of course, history is history after all, what kind of person Jia Rudao is, whether it is as described in history, it is difficult to say, this needs Wu Shaogang to really come into contact before he can make an accurate judgment.

The court is busy, but Wu Shaogang in the barracks has nothing to do, after the last patrol, a month has passed in a blink of an eye, Wu Shaogang has not received any orders, nor has he continued to go out to patrol, and it is basically dispensable in the barracks, including Zhang Binghui and Ma Long and others under his command.

Encountering such a situation, it would have been unbearable for a long time to be someone else, but Wu Shaogang has a lot of things to do, the most important of which is to strengthen the training of Zhang Binghui and Ma Long and others under his command, and the training requirements are getting higher and higher.

Wu Shaogang has not many people available for the time being, so everyone is very important, he must cast everyone into an invincible fire, which can be used at critical moments, and these people are his current and future backbone.

Zhang Binghui, Ma Long and others have long adapted to such training intensity and height, and the last fight in the alley south of Zhongwazi made them understand the importance of training, and also made them respect Wu Shaogang even more.

Wu Shaogang and his subordinates were still loners in the camp of the Urging Front Army, and had little contact with other sergeants.

More than a month has passed, Wu Shaogang's observation of the camp and sergeants of the Qianfeng Army is also very careful, and he feels that the so-called most elite army of the Southern Song Dynasty is actually not very strong in combat effectiveness, and the practice of transferring the elite soldiers from all other armies to the front division of the palace is completely wrong.

The emperor and the imperial court only thought of weakening the combat effectiveness of other armies and enhancing the courage of the front division of the palace, and did not think at all that the sergeants who were transferred to the front division of the palace also needed to be strengthened, but it was a pity that these brave officers and sergeants on the battlefield were transferred to the armies of the front division of the palace, and they were idle aside, these officers and sergeants were not only negligent in training, but also learned to have fun, and the original combat effectiveness and willpower declined rapidly, and they were even inferior to ordinary officers and sergeants in other armies.

Therefore, Wu Shaogang's requirements for Zhang Binghui and Ma Long and others are very strict, and they cannot be affected by the external environment, and they still can't strengthen their training as before, and they still can't relax in the slightest, so as to eliminate the negative influence of the outside world to the greatest extent.

The fourth master suddenly came to visit, and he was waiting outside the barracks, which made Wu Shaogang a little surprised.

After the last patrol, Wu Shaogang still had a lot of contact with the fourth master and Huang Maosheng, but it was all when they had nothing to do, eating and drinking together, and most of them were sent by the fourth master or Huang Maosheng to invite.

Walking out of the barracks, Wu Shaogang saw the fourth master standing next to the wine shop not far away.

Entering the wine shop and sitting down, a few simple side dishes have been placed on the table, and a pot of wine is placed in the middle of the table.

Wu Shaogang and the fourth master sat down, including Huang Maosheng and others, all standing outside the wine shop.

"Vice General Wu, I haven't seen you for a few days, come, I'll toast you."

"It's better to be respectful than to obey."

Wu Shaogang raised his wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

As he put down his glass, he spoke again.

"The fourth master made a special trip to the barracks today, presumably not to drink this bar."

"Vice General Wu is refreshing, I came here, of course, not specifically for drinking, but to inform something."

Wu Shaogang picked up the wine jug, poured wine for the fourth master, and poured it for himself.

The fourth master picked up the wine glass again and spoke slowly.

"Vice General Wu, there have been so many changes in the DPRK and China, I don't know if you have any feelings."

"I don't have much insight, just watch the excitement."

Wu Shaogang said this, which surprised the fourth master, he looked at Wu Shaogang for a while before speaking.

"Amazing, really amazing, it's the first time I've heard such a thing in such a long time, come, I'll toast you again."

"Drunk and smart, if the fourth master has anything important, please let me know."

"Vice General Wu is right, I also know some about the affairs of the DPRK and China, you also know, we are mixed in the rivers and lakes, if there is no little relationship, it is really impossible to gain a foothold, not to mention that this is the capital, the situation is even more complicated, a little careless, that is, the family is ruined, I don't want to bump into such unlucky matters, so I am also very concerned about the affairs of the DPRK and China."

Wu Shaogang nodded slightly, and the fourth master had always spoken very cheerfully in front of him, and he didn't hide it.

"There have been so many changes in the DPRK and China, I also thought about reminding Vice General Wu, or coming forward to help Vice General Wu mediate, I didn't expect you to think like this, it seems that I thought too much."

The fourth master said this, which made Wu Shaogang somewhat moved.

"Thank you to the fourth master for worrying about my affairs, but I think that it is not appropriate to climb the magnates of the court now, those who are in high positions are not fools, they don't understand anything, they can really look down on them, but they can't just visit at random, just say that the friendship between the fourth master and me, that is also not to fight and not to know, if I was patrolling in Zhongwazi at the beginning, there is no intersection between the fourth master, and I rashly went to visit the fourth master, how would the fourth master look at me."

The fourth master squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, and stretched out the thumb of his right hand.

"Gao, it's really high, if Vice General Wu had met me rashly, I really wouldn't have any ideas."

After thirty years of drinking, Wu Shaogang and the fourth master were in a very good mood, and drinking was even more refreshing.

When he put down the cup again, the fourth master changed the topic.

"I don't know how Vice General Wu knows the reprimanded Prime Minister Wu Qian."

"The ability is certain, otherwise it would not be possible to become the head of the hundred officials, but in terms of dealing with certain things, the views are quite lacking, and the indecision to do things finally laid the root of the curse for himself."

"What does Vice Admiral Wu mean by this?"

"It's very simple, as the left prime minister of the court, he is in power, for those who are secretly making trouble, or those who oppose themselves, how can they easily let go, don't always think about maintaining their own image, don't be willing to do it to small people, don't be afraid of a lot of discussions in the court, when you should be ruthless, you have to be ruthless, the so-called small amount is not a gentleman, no poison is not a husband, you are unwilling to do it when you have a great opportunity, and when others do it, then everything is lost."

The fourth master blinked his eyes and opened his mouth with a wry smile.

"Is Vice General Wu reminding me, is it okay to do this in officialdom, will the emperor allow it?"

"What's not to do, officialdom is like a battlefield, the emperor allows it not to be allowed, that's another thing, if you are weak, or even act completely in the style of a humble gentleman, it is destined to be a tragedy, before entering the court, you are a scholar, but after entering the court, you are an official in the court, you are no longer a scholar, and you still use some pedantic views of scholars to act, and it is strange not to follow up."

The fourth master couldn't help but stretch out his thumb again and spoke to Wu Shaogang.

"Vice General Wu, every time we get together, you give me the feeling that I should be impressed by the three days, listening to these words you say, I think about the guild a lot of times, if you are in the guild, but I don't have the right to speak, I can't imagine that you are so young, you have extraordinary abilities, I am too envious."

"The fourth master has been through turmoil, I don't know how many I have seen, this is polite."

"It's not polite, Vice General Wu, I came today, I was thinking about whether to inform you of this news, but now I think I must tell you, Lord Dong Huai will come to the capital the day after tomorrow, and will stay and eat at my place, if Vice General Wu has a heart, I will arrange for you to meet with Lord Dong."
