April of the first year of Longxing, is the most expected day of filial piety Zhao Yan, because there is a force headed by Shi Xianggong to oppose the Northern Expedition, Zhao Yan as the emperor of a country, how can he be constrained by his own ministers, after the persuasion is ineffective, brazenly raised an edict, bypassing the Shangshu, Menxia, Zhongshu Province of Dongfu, and the edict went directly to Jiankang.

In Zhao Yan's view, once the Northern Expedition started and the Jin and Song dynasties fought, the two prime ministers had to take into account the overall situation and make every effort to mobilize national resources to cooperate with Zhang Jun.

In fact, when he learned that the official family intended to bypass the three provinces, Shi Hao was full of sorrow and resoluteness, but he did not dare to cause chaos to the official family during the war, so he could only fully cooperate with Chen Kangbo with the Northern Expedition.

In late April, Zhang Jun sat in Jiankang, and after receiving the official edict, he transferred 80,000 troops, and declared 200,000 to the outside world, and the troops were divided into two routes, one was commanded by Li Xianzhong to take Lingbi directly, and the other was led by Shao Hongyuan to point to Hongxian County.

The ambition of Zhao Yan, the lord of Zhongxing in the Great Song Dynasty, reached its peak in April of the first year of Longxing.

The king division marched north, and the troops returned to Bianliang!

In the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, the states, governments, and roads that knew the news were boiling for a while, as if someone had poured a scoop of cold water on the oil pot of the small land of the Great Song Dynasty, and even the Lord and the faction were waiting for it.

On the day he learned the news, Lu You found Chen Junzhi after releasing the government, and the two of them were drunk in the mansion and did not return, which was indispensable to the exclamation of Li Fengwu, this kid really did not know the prophet, and the official will really bypassed the three provinces and went directly to Zhang Jun's hands.

It wasn't until this moment that Lu You was completely relieved of the letter he sent to Lin'an a few days ago.

The Northern Expedition of Longxing started vigorously, with Li Xianzhong's army killing Lingbi, the crusade from the hands of Zhou Bida was declared to the world, except for the local government, the people also knew that no one knew about it, and the hearts of the people of the Great Song Dynasty were boiling, waiting for Li Xianzhong and Shao Hongyuan's Wang Shi to come with good news.

Since the establishment of Yan Nandu, the Great Song Dynasty Limin has never been like the first year of Longxing, so looking forward to the war, Zhao Gou reigned for decades, the Great Song Dynasty was repeatedly bullied by the Jin State, coupled with the self-confidence brought by the quarrying victory when Shaoxing 31 years of Hailing invaded the south, and now the people of the Great Song Dynasty all think that this is a good time to restore the Central Plains.

It is because when Li Xianzhong and Shao Hongyuan set up the two troops and horses, they were treated as heroes by the local people, which made the high-spirited two more and more heroic, and they couldn't wait to immediately wave their troops across the river to Tokyo, and then welcome the official family and the civil and military officials back to Bianliang.

However, above the court, Shi Xianggong tried his best to mobilize the country's materials to cooperate with Zhang Jun, and at the same time, he also launched a temper, and even said to Chen Kangbo in private: "We are the prime minister, and the soldiers go out of two and go around the three provinces, what is the use of staying, and there is no need to wait." ”

This is not angry talk.

After all, Shi Hao is a prince, an emperor, and the hardest lord and faction.

The relationship between Chen Kangbo and Shi Hao is not good, but Shi Hao said to Chen Kangbo that he plans to give a precautionary shot to the main battle faction and the official family, you want the Northern Expedition to put the Great Song Dynasty in danger, you can do it yourself, don't drag Lao Tzu into the water, Lao Tzu doesn't want to leave a reputation in the history of the ages, so I don't want to do it.

Li Fengwu, who was staying in Zhenjiang and preparing to participate in the Huilou Society and return to Jiankang, had already known the result, and he didn't have much excitement about it, but he just felt pity for Zhao Yan, the master of Zhongxing.

The strongest emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, he met Li Xianzhong, Shao Hongyuan and the like.

There is no need for God to give him a Di Qing and Yue Fei, even if it is Han Shizhong, maybe he can restore the ancestral foundation of this lord of Zhongxing and become the strongest emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, but unfortunately history has no ifs.

After the failure of the Northern Expedition of Longxing, the ambition of the lord of Zhongxing was lost most, and after the death of Yu Yunwen, he no longer had the heart to go north, and he was a relative of the Southern Song Dynasty royal family but the joy of the Southern Song Dynasty Li Min.

If Zhao Yan had always insisted on the Northern Expedition, there would not have been a prosperous era under the rule of Qianchun.

The war started at the border, the state capitals were busy, except for the Huainan West Road, where the people's hearts were slightly restless, the rest of the roads did not have the solemnity of the border, and the people were still singing and dancing.

Li Fengwu and others were in Zhenjiang, so they felt that the gap between them and usual times was not very big.

It's just that the war together, Huainan West Road, Huainan East Road, Jiangnan East Road, and Lizhou Road announced a curfew, and the materials began to be tight, and prices rose.

In this era of scholars and prostitutes, there is a lot less fun after the curfew.

In Lin'an, in the Yanhe Hall where the Son of Heaven was working, Zhao Yan slammed the music in his hand to the ground, his face was angry, so black that he could drip water, and said angrily in a deep voice: "Okay, you Shanyin Land Affairs View, when my Great Song Dynasty Xiongshi went north, you went to such a concerto, do you still have me in your eyes!" ”

Xie Shengtang on the side was startled, it was rare to see a senior official so angry, even if Prime Minister Shi Hao debated with him whether to send troops to the Northern Expedition or not, he didn't see him so moved, obviously this Lu Beijia touched the bottom line of the senior official.

However, Xie Shengtang is the most trusted eunuch of the Son of Heaven after all, and he is so literate that he doesn't dare to pick up the recital, just listen quietly, and wait for the official to vent his anger before making a decision.

The eunuchs of the Great Song Dynasty are not the kind of eunuchs of the Ming and Qing dynasties, any man can be a man who cuts the roots, and in the end of the Great Song Dynasty, there are only hundreds of eunuchs, many of whom are full of wealth, and this Xie Shengtang is one of the best.

Zhao Yan gritted his teeth, "Is he a bully, he is angry to say such unfortunate words at such a time!" ”

Xie Shengtang hurriedly stepped forward to convince him: "Don't be angry, Lu Beijia shouldn't be so unreasonable, I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding, as far as the old slave knows, this Lu Beijia is also looking forward to crossing the river to the north, don't be like him, I will let the imperial dining room send some pure heart lotus seed soup?" ”

Xie Shengtang has served Zhao Yan for decades, and he knows this emperor too well, and it is good to know that he has anger in his heart to say it, if he doesn't say it, it is the real anger.

For example, the last time he sent the prince Qin to Jiankang, he was peaceful on the surface, but in fact, he was already angry in his heart.

Zhao Yan waved his hand, "No need, look at what this Lu Wuguan said, it actually said that the will to go around the three provinces is that I am rigid and disrespectful to the ancestral system, and I even did not fight before I was cowardly, saying that the Northern Expedition started from Lingbi and finally departed, isn't this a curse for the defeat of my hero." ”

Xie Shengtang picked up Lu You's recital of "Stopping the Soldiers", of course he didn't dare to really look at it, the eunuchs of the Great Song Dynasty didn't dare to get involved in court affairs, put the recital lightly on the imperial desk, and said: "It will take a few days for Zhenjiang to go to Lin'an to take the post road, Lu Beijia is afraid that this recital will be sent before the will of the big official is issued, how does he know that the big official is bypassing the will of the three provinces of Dongfu?" ”

Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered a passage in the recital, and said angrily: "It was inferred by one of his students." Suddenly remembered something, "By the way, the student's name is quite familiar, his name is Li Hewu." ”

Xie Shengtang smiled, "The senior official, called Li Fengwu, a student of Jiankang Fuxue, seems to be a relative of Zhang Shuxiang, Zhou Zhengzi brought one of his "Treatises on the Resumption of Soldiers" from Jiankang to Lin'an, and the senior official also praised him for this. ”

To achieve Xie Shengtang's point, he must have extraordinary ability, and these little things are also kept in mind, otherwise how can he serve Zhao Yan for decades, today's Xie Shengtang, although he is not as powerful as Xianggong, but in this Great Song Dynasty, few people dare to provoke him, even if it is the three princes, they have to flatter him well.

Zhao Yan was stunned, it was this kid again.

As soon as he was a student member of Jiankang Mansion, it was enough to write the "Theory of the Resumption of Soldiers", and he could even know that I would bypass the three provinces to issue an order, and even deduce that the male master stopped at Fu Li?

You kid has become a roundworm in my Zhao Yan's stomach.

took "Stopping the Soldiers" and threw it aside, "Stay in the middle." This is the meaning of not condemning Lu You for the time being, and this old account will be settled when the dust of the Northern Expedition settles in the future.

Zhang Jun supervised the division to the north, Li Xianzhong and Shao Hongyuan's morale was like a rainbow, and if they did not declare war, they would be able to take the Jin country by surprise, and the war would be a great victory, and then I would treat you for the crime of spilling the affairs of the court, and the corners of Zhao Yan's mouth floated with a smug smile pointing at the country.

Xie Shengtang also smiled, this Shanyin Land Affairs View has accepted a good protégé.

It's a pity that in the end, he will become a protégé of the Son of Heaven after all.
