Chapter 167: Blamed

While there was still time, Gao Huaiyuan immediately went out of the mansion towards Shi Miyuan's mansion, at least he still had to tie up with Shi Miyuan, and try his best to make Shi Miyuan relax his vigilance, as soon as he thought of living such a life in Beijing, Gao Huaiyuan felt a little tight, but thinking about it, he still had to do these things that made him disgusting in order to plan for the future.

Shi Miyuan was lying on the sickbed and heard that Gao Huaiyuan was coming to see, and his mood was a little better, Zheng Qingzhi's matter made him a little unhappy, two days ago he sent Li Zhixiao to warn Zheng Qingzhi, which made Zheng Qingzhi restrain a lot, and now the royalists have begun to gradually have an independent posture, which makes him have to guard against it, and now Gao Huaiyuan is undoubtedly the backbone of the royalists, his attitude determines the future period, he Shi Miyuan and the current saint get along, so he has been waiting for Gao Huaiyuan to come to see him today.

Gao Huaiyuan was brought into Shi Miyuan's bedroom by the messenger of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Gao Huaiyuan smelled a strong smell of Chinese medicine, and then he knew that Shi Miyuan was not going to welcome them back today, it turned out that he was sick, so he hurriedly walked a few steps to Shi Miyuan's bed, bowed down and said: "The lower official sees the Xiangye, I don't know that the Xiangye is sick, the lower official is late, please forgive the Xiangye!" ”

Shi Miyuan was lying on the couch on his side, seeing that Gao Huaiyuan's attitude towards him was respectful, and he did not show any smug demeanor, it was still the same as before, so he was in a better mood, nodded and pointed to the stool on the side of the bed to let Gao Huaiyuan sit down and speak, and then said: "General Gao doesn't have to be polite, this time you can lead the troops to quickly destroy the rebel party, the old man is very pleased, the old man doesn't say anything else, he is still quite capable of knowing people!" When the old man saw you for the first time, he knew that you were a useful person, but now it seems that the old man did not see the wrong person, you are really a general! Not bad! Not bad! ”

"Xiangye has praised the official! The lower officials can have this victory, and it is all cultivated by Xiangye, Huaiyuan has never dared to forget Xiangye's favor! After coming back today, I hurried over to say hello to Xiangye! I didn't expect Xiangye to be sick in bed, I don't know how Xiangye's condition is? Gao Huaiyuan hurriedly said with a smile.

Shi Miyuan looked at Gao Huaiyuan's eyes, didn't see Gao Huaiyuan revealing other thoughts, waved his hand and said, "It's okay!" The old man is very old, and because he has been working state affairs recently, he is a little tired! Rest for two days and you'll be fine! Huaiyuan, you don't have to worry about it!

The old man wants to ask you, how did King Ji escape? Why did you lead your army to conquer Huzhou City, but only King Ji was able to escape? Could it be that there is no reason for this? ”

As soon as Gao Huaiyuan heard it, he knew that Shi Miyuan was a little suspicious that he didn't catch King Ji this time, and knew that compared to Zhao Yun, Shi Miyuan was more worried about Zhao Hong's existence, and the old guy was now very suspicious, for fear that he would do something in it, so he immediately told Shi Miyuan in detail about how King Ji escaped after he broke through Huzhou City.

"Or the original Xiao Liang who was on an errand in the Yiwang Mansion, after finding out that the city was broken, he immediately took King Ji down from the north city wall, and captured a small boat, escaped along the Tiaoxi overnight, Xia Guan did not delay for a moment, went out of the city and pursued overnight, how could that Xiao Liang desperately ambush me on the road, so that I waited for a lot of time, after I slashed Xiao Liang, King Ji was able to escape at night, and then disappeared!

Xiaguan sent a large number of soldiers and horses to search around the Taihu Lake for this reason, but he didn't expect that King Ji was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no trace of him! So much so that he has not been able to capture it until now, it is the incompetence of the lower officials, please punish the prime minister! ”

After Shi Miyuan listened to Gao Huaiyuan's explanation, he didn't hear any flaws, so he sighed, secretly saying that in such a chaotic situation, it is also difficult to catch a person among ten thousand people, King Ji was able to escape, and it is his luck to be good, this matter is indeed no wonder Gao Huaiyuan, after all, he did what he should do, King Ji was a little cunning, and did not escape directly by canal, but chose Tiaoxi, so he was able to escape, this may also be the first emperor to take care of him in the spirit of the sky, Shi Miyuan is really a little weak in this matter.

"That's it! You've done your best, and you've been able to destroy the rebels so quickly this time! How can the old man ever blame you? Otherwise, the old man would not have insisted that you take over Xia Zhen's position and become the commander of this palace!

But the old man still has to say two words to you, although you have made a lot of contributions in Huzhou, but you should not propose the Northern Expedition to Li Quan without authorization, you must know that now that the civil strife in my Great Song Dynasty has just subsided, you want to encourage His Majesty to send troops to attack Li Quan, which is really unwise! If it weren't for the old man's mediation, I wouldn't have caused some kind of chaos this time! Shi Miyuan first let go of King Ji's escape, and then immediately mentioned Gao Huaiyuan's invitation to Zhao Yun and asked the troops to send Huaidong to fight against Li Quan.

Although Gao Huaiyuan scolded in his heart, he immediately bowed his head and said, "Xiangye is right to reprimand!" After all, Xia Guan is not in the world, and he didn't think about things so far, he only felt that Li Quan's actions were a rebellion, and Xia Guan was a martial artist, and he wanted to fight for the country, so he didn't think too much! So much so that he wrote to ask Li Quan for the Northern Expedition.

After thinking carefully about Xiangye's approach in this matter, he felt that Xiangye was still far-sighted, and the subordinate was not as good as Xiangye, so Xiangye was worried about it, and now after communicating, he felt that he was still too reckless, and asked Xiangye to forgive him! In the future, before the next official acts, he will definitely ask Xiangye what he thinks! ”

Gao Huaiyuan's attitude made Shi Miyuan suddenly feel a lot more relaxed, sat up and waved his hand and said: "Huaiyuan, you don't have to blame yourself, Li Quan is indeed at fault first, and from a normal point of view, your proposal is beyond reproach!"

It's just that you have forgotten that Lao Tzu has a cloud, if you govern a big country and cook a small fresh, you can't use your temperament to deal with state affairs, especially Li Quan, although he is unruly, but at least these years can be regarded as deferential to the court, not to mention that Sun Tzu also has clouds, soldiers are a major matter of the country, Li Quan has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and if he is good at swords, I am afraid that not only can he not be destroyed by him, but he is forced to rebel, for such people, it is still to appease, not to do it on impulse!

It's best if you can figure it out right now, because of your invitation, the old man has been busy with this matter for a long time, and he must not be reckless in the future!

Zheng Qingzhi this time because you have contradicted the old man many times, the old man looks at your face, so he doesn't care, you have to remember, the most important thing in our Great Song Dynasty is that the monarch and the ministers are single-minded, and they must not be out of control! ”

Gao Huaiyuan lowered his head and agreed, knowing that Shi Miyuan was secretly telling him, be careful, now he still has the final say, so he doesn't want to lose his tail, so he hurriedly said: "Xiangye, please rest assured, the lower official was pulled up by Xiangye, and the lower official knows what to do!" Please also ask Lord Xiangye to ignore the villain and forgive the next official once! ”

After listening to Gao Huaiyuan's words, Shi Miyuan was very satisfied with his attitude, so he revealed the matter and instructed Gao Huaiyuan: "Xia Zhen let the front secretary of the palace make such a big deal this time, after you take this position, you must take it as a warning, and you can't make such a thing happen under your command again!" As long as you do things well, then the old man will never turn a blind eye! The old man still regards you as his confidant, so you can do it yourself! ”

After Gao Huaiyuan withdrew from the Prime Minister's Mansion, he knew that this time he had passed the test again in front of Shi Miyuan, otherwise, for the time being, his official might be the end, at least before Shi Miyuan died, he didn't want to gain a foothold in the court again, so he turned his head to look at the Prime Minister's Mansion and breathed a sigh of relief.

Feeling the warm spring breeze, when he walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, looking at the flowers blooming everywhere, Gao Huaiyuan calculated that it was almost time, he should go back to Daye after a while, as for Li Quan, let him jump for a while now, and talk about it when the time is ripe!

In the following days, Gao Huaiyuan met with Zheng Qingzhi in private, and told Zheng Qingzhi what Shi Miyuan said to him, Zheng Qingzhi said with a smile: "Shi Xiang also sent Li Xiaozhi to find me, it can be said that it is the same threat as you, since you have now obtained the military power of the commander, then in the next few days, we might as well keep a low profile, and you will also control the army in front of the palace as soon as possible, as long as the military power is still in your hands, the saint will have the capital to fight with the Shi Party!" ”

Gao Huaiyuan nodded yes, so after quelling the rebellion of King Ji, the royalist faction died down, and let Shi Miyuan and his party control the government, and Zhao Yun also listened to the advice of Gao Huaiyuan and Zheng Qingzhi this time, and simply let go and no longer interfered in the government affairs, so that Shi Miyuan thought that Gao Huaiyuan and Zheng Qingzhi had given up the competition with him, and since then they have not chased Zheng Qingzhi's faction to suppress it, and only his voice is left in the court.

In dealing with Li Quan, Shi Miyuan once again adopted a strategy of appeasement and compromise, not only did not investigate Li Quan's disobedience, but also increased the food and salary given to Li Quanjun, so that Li Quan was able to escape from this incident and continue to go unpunished, provoking many ministers in the DPRK and China to privately scold Shi Miyuan for betraying the country.

And Li Quan after getting the holy decree that the court will not be held accountable, and obtained more grain, soon withdrew the soldiers and horses north of Taizhou, and then transferred troops to the north again, but did not attack the Jin State, but the soldiers once again pointed to the jurisdiction of the Flying Tiger Army, he learned that the Flying Tiger Army operated a large number of iron ore smelting furnaces in Laiwu, and wanted to recapture Laiwu and become the source of his strengthened armament, so the Flying Tiger Army Fu Daquan and Zhou Junzhu generals immediately discussed the strategy, and immediately mobilized the elite of the Flying Tiger Army to meet Li Quan's army, and Li Quanjun once again started a big battle in the area of Mengyin Loess Mountain.
