Liang Hongyu tiptoed into the study and saw Zhou Quan lying on his back on the rocking chair, snoring slightly, and his expression moved slightly.
Zhou Quan was too tired.
Even if he is young and strong, and he has been exercising, he can't stand the hard work of more than a month, and now it can be said that he has one of the few relaxation times during this time.
If possible, Liang Hongyu hoped that he could rest more, but the news that followed now was too important, and Liang Hongyu had to wake him up, otherwise he would have to complain.
Liang Hongyu sighed softly, what is gained must be lost, maybe Zhou Quan will have to pay such a price after embarking on this road.
"What?" Zhou Quan slept very lightly, she sighed, was immediately awakened, and said in a deep voice.
"Oh, Wushu broke through Taiyuan and threatened to attack Xijing."
Zhou Quan's eyes opened, he had never relaxed his monitoring of the vultures, so it was only for a moment, and he sneered: "Liar, he wants to come to answer the separation!" ”
If he had gotten this news half a month ago, he would have been very worried, but now, Ah Guda and Wu Qimai have been defeated, the overall situation has been decided, and the best opportunity for Wushu has been lost.
It can be said that Zhou Quan's unexpected intervention in this battle made the opportunity created by the hard work of the Jin people come to naught, and on the contrary, he fell into a dilemma.
In fact, Zhou Quan's news is even more well-informed, Ye Chu's news from outside Yuguan, because the main force has been going south for a long time, especially because Aguda was defeated and captured in Yanjing, the Jin country has fallen into turmoil, the former Liao relics, Bohai people, Goryeo people and Xi people, as well as the remaining Han people, have raised things, and the Jin country can be said to be full of smoke.
At this time, it can still be supported, but it is nothing more than a little jealous of Wu begging. When the news of Wu Qimai's defeat arrived, the entire Jin Kingdom was afraid that it would collapse immediately.
"I'm going to go to the capital." Zhou Quan said slowly.
Liang Hongyu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a somewhat complicated expression: "But you want to summon Yue Fei to the south?" ”
Liang Hongyu misunderstood Zhou Quan's purpose of entering Beijing, she thought that Zhou Quan was going to enter Beijing to overthrow the Song Dynasty.
Zhou Quan shook his head: "No need, I'll go to Beijing this time...... Just give Zhao Huan a little warning, and at the same time get what I should get. ”
It is not the time to completely eliminate the Song family, there are many messes, and Zhao Huan has to toss them, and when Zhao Huan finishes tossing people's hearts, that is when Zhou Quan reaches out to pick the fruit.
Speaking of Zhao Huan, there is another thing that Zhou Lang must know, Zhao Ji, that is, the emperor, has now run back to Xuzhou, and he stays in Xuzhou and seems to be reluctant to return to Beijing...... In addition, he ordered Huainan to pay taxes and keep them in Xuzhou for supplies. ”
This news made Zhou Quan stunned.
Nowadays, the Great Song Dynasty has Zhongxiang in Sichuan, there is Fangla in the south of the Yangtze River, Hebei, Hedong, and Shaanxi are all in a mess, and the state pays taxes, most of which rely on Jingdong, and the grain depends on the two lakes, Jiangxi and Huainan. In particular, it can be said that as long as the grain operation in Huainan is suspended for one day, the price of grain in Beijing will rise by 10%.
At this time, Zhao Ji ignored his son's hope for Huainan grain in Beijing, but he intervened halfway to intercept Huainan grain - he was still reluctant to power after all!
Thinking of this, Zhou Quan smiled bitterly: "This Zhao Huan is already stupid enough, but it's okay, stupid people have their own stupid grinding, he tosses him, I think he will have a headache!" ”
Zhao Huan did have a headache.
Zong Ze has already entered Beijing, and he also brought food money supported by Zhou Quan. It's just that Zhao Huan hasn't breathed a sigh of relief, and he learned that the grain transported from Huainan to Beijing was detained in Xuzhou, but it was the order of the Emperor Zhao Ji.
"What does the Emperor mean?" He asked the ministers solemnly.
In the main hall, the ministers were silent.
When it comes to the family affairs of the Son of Heaven, especially the struggle for power between the two generations of emperors, no one dares to speak easily.
Zhao Huan's gaze swept over everyone, and finally stopped at Wu Min who was standing in front of him. His expression softened slightly, and he said slowly: "Wu Qing passed this intention on behalf of the emperor, can you know what the emperor means?" ”
Wu Min looked a little embarrassed, and said after a while: "This matter has also been discussed by the minister in front of the emperor, but it has not been accepted!" ”
He was opposed to Zhao Ji's meddling in the southeastern government affairs -- leaving Huainan grain was only the first step for Zhao Ji to intervene in the southeastern government affairs, and he knew that Zhao Ji was going to recruit brave men and women in Jingdong and Huainan, train new troops, and make preparations for recovering Jiangnan with the help of Zhou Quan's financial and manpower. But Zhao Ji is just a retired emperor, how can Zhao Huan, who succeeds to the throne, deal with himself by doing this?
It's just his advice, Zhao Ji didn't listen, but sighed: "At the beginning, the words of Qing were passed on to the present, but now it seems that the cowardice is not the capital of the master. ”
The implication is that he is dissatisfied with Zhao Huan and wants to take back power.
This incident made Wu Min panic, and the internal dispute between the Zhao father and son was the last straw that broke the camel's back for the Zhao and Song royal families, and as long as the signs of the struggle appeared, I am afraid that it would be difficult to calm down.
"The emperor is outside, the wind and rain are shaking, I am really worried, I want to use Nie Shan as a welcome envoy to welcome the emperor back to Beijing, what do you think?" After listening to Wu Min's words, Zhao Huan's mind settled for a while, and he said again.
Nie Shan was previously the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, and after Zhao Huan ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne, he did not hesitate to abandon the old master and switch to Geng Nanzhong, so he was even trusted by Zhao Huan.
Before Wu Min could speak, Zhao Huan said again: "Cai You followed the emperor, didn't think about comforting the emperor, and slandered everything, separating the father and son. Cai Jing was the emperor's grace, abandoned Beijing at the time of national disaster, and took refuge in Xuzhou - this father and son are both national thieves, I want to capture these two people with Nie Shan, raid their homes, and use them for national use, what do you think? ”
There was a gasp for air.
Zhao Huan clearly decided that the person who made Zhao Ji have the intention of seizing power again was the father and son of the Cai family. Who let the Cai family's father and son happen to be hiding in Xuzhou at this time!
Cai Jing claimed to be a matchmaker for the princess and Zhou Quan, and ran to Xuzhou before the Jin people went south. Cai You followed Zhao Ji out of Beijing with Wu Min and others after Zhao Ji abdicated. His father and son had turned against each other, and Cai You made a lot of efforts in Zhao Huan's ascension to the throne. But at this time, Zhao Huan wanted to liquidate his father and son, and he didn't remember his previous merits at all.
Everyone understands Zhao Huan's intentions, he is addicted to copying his home.
copied Yang Jian before, and then copied Tong Guan and Wang Hao, such a big copyist made Zhao Huan's originally empty pockets bulge for a few days, and of course they were soon empty again. Now that Zhao Ji wants to cut off Huainan grain, then Zhao Huan is in a hurry, so he wants to copy the home of Zhao Ji's favored ministers.
"In addition, since the emperor has abdicated and has complicated government affairs, don't bother his old man anymore, everything is in charge of me, except for the affairs of the world's sects, the emperor does not need to ask." Zhao Huan said again.
By this time, he had not concealed his suspicion of Zhao Ji too much!
Zong Ze, who was the new secretary of the military department, couldn't hold back anymore when he heard this.
He strode out: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the emperor's affairs are a royal family matter, not a top priority. The most urgent thing is to break Taiyuan with Wushu, Taiyuan has been broken, and Wushu has opened the way for the Jin people to retreat north, and the ministers are afraid that they will take action at this time......"
In Zong Ze's view, this is not because the Jin people really want peace, but because they know that even if they break through Bianjing and plunder countless times, they can't bring it back smoothly, because Han Shizhong blocked the Yellow River, Yue Fei blocked Yanjing, two lines of defense, and the Jin people couldn't return the same way.
But now it is different, with the Wushu answering, the Jin people have a relatively safe passage to return north, and it is doubtful whether they will continue to negotiate.
Speaking of this, he said sincerely: "Your Majesty, the top priority now is to consolidate the city's defenses. Although the minister entered Beijing for only one day, he also knew that the defense of the city of Beijing now depends on the first fort and the second is the people's strong, and the minister asks His Majesty to authorize the appropriation to consolidate the fort and recruit the people's strong! ”
"Hmm......" Zhao Huan is stupid, but good words and bad words are still clear, and Zhao Ji's side is indeed not something that can be solved overnight, he groaned slightly, and was about to respond, but saw the back of the minister's class, and one person stood up.
"The minister seconded what Zong Ze said, and asked His Majesty to set up a patrol artillery envoy, with courtiers as the servants, who were on duty every day to inspect the forts, so as not to be taken advantage of by the enemy!"
It was Qin Hui who came out to speak!
Zhao Huan was still a little uneasy about Zong Ze, because this person was inclined to Zhou Quan, but he was quite relieved about Qin Hui.
After all, Qin Hui held Geng Nanzhong's secret letter, and Geng Nanzhong proposed that if he wanted to deal with Zhou Quan, he had to use Qin Hui.
"What Zong Qing and Qin Qing said is extremely true, I sold the inner treasury, allocated 10,000 silver yuan, and 20,000 cloth for the use of the fort. As for the recruitment of brave soldiers, the Ministry of Households is requested to allocate corresponding funds...... Does the household still have money? ”
The head of the household is naturally going to come out to cry poor, and at the same time, the ministers secretly despise it in their hearts, the amount donated by Zhou Quan to the imperial court is far more than the amount allocated by Zhao Huan this time, and he also poses with a hemorrhagic posture, as if this fort is not guarding his country.
was beaten by Zong Ze for a while, and after the agreement to consolidate the city defense was decided, Zhao Huan thought of his father again.
He insisted on sending Nie Shan as an envoy, and the ministers reacted at this time, especially Wu Min, who persuaded hard, and even implicitly proposed that if he really acted according to what Zhao Huan said, the emperor would be sad. As soon as the emperor is sad, if the villains around him go in a few more ways to avoid slander, they may do something foolish. Even if the emperor himself has no intention, if Xiao Xiao around him is coerced by the emperor, and then secretly communicates with Zhou Quan, I am afraid it will be even more unfavorable to the emperor.
In this way, Zhao Huan was a little scared, he pondered for a while, and made concessions on the selection of the Fengying envoy, and did not send Nie Shan, who was known as a cool official, with Wu Min as the Fengying envoy, and Cai You's brother-in-law Song Huan as the Fengying deputy envoy.
These two people are all those who accompanied Zhao Ji to escape, and they are trusted by Zhao Ji, and Song Huan is Cai You's relative, so he thinks that he can appease Zhao Ji and the people around him so that they will not change.
Just when the will was frequent, Qin Hui's eyes narrowed slightly, flashing with a dangerous light. As a strategist, and at the same time trusted by Zhao Huan, he became one of the patrol envoys!
Zhao Huan didn't expect that it was not Zhao Ji who would change, but in the capital..,。
