Because of the rebellion of Zheng Keming, the former secretary of the ministry, the Tiqi Division suffered heavy losses correspondingly, and the Jin State was unable to fully control the southwest for a long time. During this period of six months to a year, many things have changed. What followed was a huge gap between what I had always thought and reality.

The assembly of the Dongting Lake Water Division in the Southern Song Dynasty surprised the Jin Kingdom, but after the accident, there was no longer much shock. After all, the Southern Song Dynasty was weak, and under the redundant officials and redundant army, it was able to gather 100,000 troops, and it may not be able to stop the 20,000 people of the Great Jin Dynasty. This is the general psychology of the Jin army across the water from the Southern Song Dynasty for a long time.

Guanshan Fifty Prefectures have been circulated for more than 20 years, and the fact that they were able to ride straight down to more than 50 cities was not entirely because Xie Yi was invincible in the world, but also because the chaos of the Southern Song Dynasty's own system was also a big help. In fact, no matter what the reason, Dajin won after all, won completely, and won as a matter of course.

However, in this water battle that happened in late autumn, the Jin people never forgot the pride of more than 20 years, and it was finally completely shattered.

The Dongting Lake Water Division of the Jin State faced the Southern Song Dynasty Water Division, fought fiercely for a morning, and was defeated. The remnants of the army returned to the port, regrouped, fought again, and suffered another defeat. After that, the Jin army fought three times...... Three defeats. By the time the first urgent letter was sent to the Jin capital, the Jin army had already engaged the Southern Song army five times and was defeated five times.

After this battle, the Jin naval division was almost completely wiped out, thousands of prisoners were captured, and the subsequent land battles were also lost one after another, retreating step by step, until finally defending Huarong County and Nanjun before stopping the decline.

An urgent letter of military information was sent to the Jin capital, and twenty days later, the Jin capital was in an uproar.

In the face of the almost crazy "ministers have words" of the ministers, Emperor Jin did not have the majesty of killing the ministers with the rod before, except for the trace of the shadow that could not be removed, he was full of incomprehension and anger.

Zhang Kaiguang, Wang Peishi, and Zhao Chongyuan....... Damn it!

The rats are incompetent and abuse power to harm the country.

Later, on the main hall, a detailed letter was presented to the Hanyuan Hall as soon as it was delivered to the Jin capital, and the military information was read out intermittently by the Duke of Feng.

"On the third day, the first battle was lost, and the observation envoy Zhang Kaiguang personally met the enemy, the flag ship was damaged, the observation envoy was created four times, and two arrows were hit...... Fight to the death. On the seventh day, the battle failed again, our army retreated forty miles, and after the palace of Zhao Chongyuan, the governor of the capital, 800 cavalry fought again, and only 30 cavalry were spared....... On the 11th, the observation envoy Zhang Kaiguang was captured, refused to surrender, the enemy passed the head in front of the battle, and the governor of the capital angrily went to battle, fell into the enemy's treacherous plan, and died in battle. The four sons of the later governor all died with him...... The pursuit of the army was very urgent, and Wang Peishi, the assassin of Jingzhou, led the army to Nanjun, and blocked the enemy with 8,000 troops....... The six counties of Hubei Province are the southwest gateways, and if they are lost, the four counties of Huizhou will inevitably be in danger, and if the Huizhou Mansion is lost, the capital of Jin will be in danger....... I hope that the imperial court will send reinforcements as soon as possible. ”

Gonggong Feng used the second greatest courage in his life to read this urgent military information, knelt on the ground and sweated, and then the military information was held in the hands of Emperor Jin and looked at it silently for a long time.

There are still blood stains on the military newspaper, and the end is Nanjun Assassin Shi Xueyi, Emperor Jin stared at Shi Xueyi's three words, his eyes were cold and murderous, what did he think in his heart, Gonggong Feng didn't know, and the ministers below who were already trembling didn't know, in fact, maybe Emperor Jin himself didn't know what he thought during that time. Anyway, I would never have thought that Shi Xueyi, who had written the last word on the head of the city, had just handed over this military report to the soldiers, and wanted to get up and command, but the next moment, he was shot through the heart by a stray arrow.

The Hubei Provincial Water Division was almost wiped out, and now it has been twenty days since the latest military report was issued, and none of the ministers dared to be sure whether Huarong County and Nanjun had held on to it, and whether it was still in the hands of the Jin State. Even if some of them do dare to say that they must still be there, then there are quite a few people who are not sure if the one above also has this confidence.

Finally. Chen Hua, the head of the household department, coughed, and said: "This matter is very big, very urgent, and cannot be delayed, I hope Your Majesty will make a decision as soon as possible." ”

Then the ministers who reacted bowed down and said, "I hope Your Majesty will make a decision as soon as possible." ”

...... On this day, Emperor Jin finally did not make a decision.

The prison of the Criminal Department has been a little crowded recently, not that it is overcrowded, but compared to the usual years, there are quite a few people who have been locked in during this time, and most of them are big people.

"Hey, big guy, how big? Can you stand in the Imperial City during the 135 Small Dynasty and the Great Dynasty of the New Year, is it considered big? ”

"If this doesn't count, being able to meet Tianyan directly, a waiter who can speak in the six parts, is it a big deal?"

"What? You say the squire isn't too big? Hey! Feelings: Have you met Zhishi's master today? It's just that which Master Taishi is such a stunned young man as you? Tell you! What is locked up here is the second master of the Xie family! ”

"Now you know what the weight of the people in it is...... That's the second master of the Xie family. ”

"Uncle has only been dead for a long time before the Xie family has fallen...... It is said that the once lawless son, now the master of the horse, has also fled, his whereabouts are unknown, and he has not seen anyone alive or dead......"

"Seeing that you are my brother Zhao's nephew, I just told you this...... I heard that the little marquis of our Admiral and the Xie family has died in the northwest. The Xie family is coming to an end...... Niang Xipi is still laughing! Don't go out and chew the root of your tongue, otherwise even if Brother Zhao invites me to visit Huangjing Building, I will pick your kid's skin. ”

The old cell head was talking in front of the little jailer with a hippie smile, and as he was talking, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a touch of red around the corner, and his heart was sudden, and sure enough, what turned around was a rickety old man in a black smock covered with a big red official robe.

This old man was full of yin energy, and he actually fused with the heavenly prison, if he didn't get closer, the cell boss wouldn't be able to find it, and he was a eunuch without a beard under his forehead.

Wearing the robes of the big red eunuchs, except for the three big eunuchs in the palace, Dajin can no longer find a fourth person, where does the cell boss not know who he has met? As for the drunken words that I thought of drinking with my boss the day before yesterday and overheard that His Majesty might not want the second master to die, I was even more cold.

Your Majesty may not want the second master to die, but if you want to, they, who have no hope of being an official all their lives, can only pretend to point out the country in front of their subordinates.

Just who would have thought that His Majesty would personally come to visit the Heavenly Prison? Will you be able to see the sky one day?

Before the cell boss who knelt down could speak, the half-man, half-ghost old eunuch said, "You two, bring ...... Road, go to the twenty-eighth room of Tianzi B. Don't make noises you shouldn't make, don't look back, don't talk. ”

The twenty-eighth room of Tianzi B, who is imprisoned, is really the second master of the Xie family.

The cell boss knelt on the ground and turned around, and waited until the old eunuch said to get up before he began to walk, he walked very slowly, slower than the usual reluctance to go from Qing and Lou to the dawn. However, it is not because of the intention to take care of the foot strength of the people behind him, but because he is afraid, afraid that if he makes a sound that he shouldn't make at all, the old eunuch behind him who pretends to be a ghost and doesn't need makeup will tear himself alive.

Finally, the twenty-eighth room of Tianzi B, which can usually be walked to with a small half pillar of incense, arrived, and the cell leader knelt on the ground and moved out step by step, during which he saw a touch of bright yellow, and his heart almost jumped out of his mouth.

Mother, I've been a person who has seen the emperor up close, although I've only seen the surface of my feet...... The cell boss, who had never seen the upper of Emperor Jin's shoes from beginning to end, thought excitedly.

After the cell boss went out, the old eunuch opened the cell, and Emperor Jin went in alone, and then the door was locked, and the old eunuch stood by the door.

"Second brother, I ...... I've come to see you. ”

The cell is not small, at least, there are decent beds, toilets, tables and chairs, which is quite a good treatment. The prison of the Criminal Department is not a prison of the Tiqi Division, and it is not a death row prisoner who is treasonous, and many of them may be locked up for a while, and the operation of the relationship has gone out, and it is not impossible to recover one day, so the treatment is passable.

Xie Sheng turned his back to the door, sitting on the table reading a book, the cell was dark, but fortunately there was a bean light, so that it would not be dark and invisible. Hearing the voice of Emperor Jin, Xie Sheng turned his head, then got up, and bowed upright: "Minister Xie Shang, please see Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Jin received the salute, and Xie Sheng said: "The sky is wet, wet, Your Majesty should not have come." ”

Emperor Jin shook his head, looked around, and finally walked to the edge of the bed and sat down and said, "I'll come and see...... Look at you. ”

"Your Majesty, what is there to see about being imprisoned here?"

"You're in good spirits, you can read, and it's not too bad to come here."

Xie Sheng said with a smile: "It's very clean, not disturbed, but in the past few days, I have figured out some questions that I didn't understand before, and my knowledge has improved a lot." ”

"How many problems are there in this world that can really stump you Second Master Xie?"

"Your Majesty praised it falsely, Xie Sheng is just an ordinary person, when he is poor, he can't save his brother, he can't save his son, he is a ...... Wreck. ”

"Huh. You're complaining to me. ”

"I don't dare."

"Huh."

Emperor Jin laughed again, then turned his head to look at the cell. Xie Shang's words just now were undoubtedly tough, and the last one didn't dare, and he was even more stubborn. Emperor Jin didn't know what he was thinking, but he stopped at one click, and he didn't completely say it.

"Second brother, what you think in your heart, I know it, and I understand it, but what I have done in the past few years ....... You may not understand my suffering. ”

"What is Your Majesty's trouble, that is Your Majesty's business, as a courtier, I will only do what Your Majesty has explained, and what I can do myself."

"However, you should know what you can do and what you can't!"

"Minister, of course I understand."

"You...... Hehe, you're still weird after all. ”

"I don't dare."

"You dare!"

Emperor Jin said angrily: "Why don't you dare? Over the years, have you dared less? How many things you have done in Huizhou Road, how many things have you done in Hubei Province, and how many things you have done in Guanwai Road, don't you know me! Xie Er! You dare, who would dare if you dare? You are the most daring person in the world! ”

Emperor Jin seemed to be so angry that he forgot to say it for a while, and he actually called himself me like that.

"You're weird ......"

Emperor Jin slowly calmed down and said, "You blame me for pressing Wen Zhao in the Jin capital and not letting him go out." You blame me for not being resolute enough to take the position of Fengzhi's admiral. For so many years, you have even blamed me for my deliberate negligence in my eldest brother, leaving him in Kyoto and not letting him get too involved in the affairs of the Northwest....... It's all your fault. ”

"Really?"

Xie Shang lowered his head, quietly listened to what Emperor Jin said, and after a long time, he raised his head, and his usual calm and powerful voice sounded in Emperor Jin's ears.

It was like a thunderbolt.

"Isn't it?"
