Chapter 6 When the summer envoy arrived, Li Ruogu made a move

The air is getting hotter and hotter, but Zhao Lei is getting more and more leisurely, since instructing Zhao Ming and Fan, the two Qiang generals who were born as slaves in Zhao Mansion, immediately packed up their things and left, in order to avoid suspicion, Zhao Lei rarely had dealings with the generals who stayed in the military camp of Yan'an Mansion, and now Zhao Lei entrusted everything to the three staff members around him, and he began the most lazy life after coming to the Song Dynasty.

Tianxianglou is one of the top restaurants in Yan'an Mansion, Zhao Lei served in Yan'an Mansion during this time, in addition to entertaining a few guests, he rarely came to enjoy, and now that the war is coming, Zhao Lei, who is free, finally has time to come to this kind of place.

Zhao Lei was dressed in civilian clothes, Xiao Ruoruo, who was dressed in men's clothes, Pang Bai, a staff member, and several guards with knives, came to Tianxianglou with a folding fan in a romantic manner, ordered a table of banquets, called a few singers, and sat leisurely in the wing room to enjoy the novelty of frontier singing and dancing.

Today's group of singers is said to be from the Khitan people of the prairie, full of exotic flavor of singing and dancing is refreshing, but God is destined that Zhao Lei is not a noble person who can enjoy life leisurely, just after enjoying the song and dance for a while, there was a little accident.

"Great! Big man! A guard who followed Su Xun suddenly rushed into the wing, interrupted the song and dance, and said a word to Zhao Lei eagerly, but was startled by Zhao Lei's angry look, and he immediately changed his name and said.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Lei leaned on the chair and asked lazily.

"Steward Su asked me to tell the master that something happened to Master Fan." The guard immediately replied anxiously to Zhao Lei.

Fan Zhongyan has an accident! Hearing the news, the leisurely Zhao Lei couldn't sit still anymore, and after letting Xiao Ruoruo drop a piece of silver, he left the restaurant with everyone.

In the forbidden army camp outside Yan'an Mansion, the atmosphere was particularly solemn. The soldiers who changed into single clothes put on armor and held guns, and all kinds of bows and crossbows stored in the warehouse were also separated, and the soldiers who patrolled the ground kept walking by with a deep face.

When Zhao Lei returned to the barracks tent, Su Xun and Ou Xifan were already there, and Xia Sui, the general of the forbidden army who stayed in the camp, rarely appeared in the tent.

"What happened?" Seeing Xia Sui's arrival, Zhao Lei realized that something had indeed happened, and he couldn't help but ask Su Xun anxiously.

"Lord Fan Zhongyan Fan was suspended by the imperial court." Su Xun replied to Zhao Lei with an ugly face.

"Suspension! Why? Zhao Lei asked again in shock.

At this time, Xia Sui, the general of the forbidden army, stood up and said in a deep voice: "Let me tell you!" Lord Zhao, in March, Yuanhao of Western Xia sent Gao Yande, the owner of Guimen Village, to Yanzhou Mansion to ask for peace with my Great Song Dynasty, and Lord Fan received Gao Yande's peace letter. But he didn't submit it to the imperial court, and he privately replied a letter to Yuanhao of Western Xia......"

"Impossible! It is a crime to communicate with the enemy country without permission, how could Lord Fan do such a thing? Zhao Lei asked with a shocked face when he heard this interrupting Xia Place's words.

Xia Sui knew the relationship between Zhao Lei and Fan Zhongyan, and explained with an indifferent smile that was not angry at Zhao Lei's rude act of interrupting him: "In the Xixia peace book brought by Gao Yande, the title of Yuan Hao is still the emperor, so Lord Fan was indignant, directly rejected Gao Yande's peace, and wrote a reply letter, in which he reviewed the relationship between Song and Xia and analyzed the pros and cons of Song Xia's engagement. At the same time, he persuaded Yuan Hao to understand the current affairs and return to the Great Song Dynasty as soon as possible, but this matter was somehow known by the imperial court. The local officials, such as Prime Minister Li and His Royal Highness King Pu'an, wrote to impeach Fan and accused Fan of trespassing his powers, while Prime Minister Zhang and Governor Yan and others fought-for-tat to protect Fan ......"

"In that case, how could Lord Fan be suspended?" Zhao Lei interrupted Xia Sui's words again.

was interrupted twice in a row, Xia Suidi's face was a little unhappy, and Su Xun saw that Xia Sui was not ready to answer at this time, and immediately continued: "There are two adults, Zhang Shixun and Yan Shu, who intercede from it, and there is nothing wrong with Lord Fan, but Yuan Hao actually replied to Lord Fan again after receiving Lord Fan's reply. The contents of the letter are unknown, but when Lord Fan read it, he was furious, burned the reply on the spot, and blamed the envoy of Western Xia. After this matter reached Bianjing, Lord Li Ruogu and Zhao Yun asked the prince to impeach Fan Zhongyan and destroy Yuan Hao's letter privately. And the official family was also very dissatisfied, so they suspended Master Fan to investigate the matter. ”

"I see, I don't know what is the important matter for Lord Xia to come here?" After Zhao Lei learned about the cause and effect, he asked Xia Sui casually.

"Lord Fan is suspended, the drought on Yongxing Military Road is approaching, and the prefect needs to take the lead in fighting the drought, so the imperial court hopes that Lord Zhao can concurrently serve as the prefect of Yan'an Mansion and lead the people of Yan'an Mansion to resist the drought." Xia Sui took out an official document at this time and handed it to Zhao Lei and said.

The prefect of Yan'an, the position of the tired man! Zhao Lei thought unbalancedly in his heart.

………………………………

Zhao Lei held the official document that made him concurrently serve as the prefect of Yan'an Prefecture, and after watching Xia Sui leave, he asked the three staff members around him, Su Xun, Ou Xifan and Pang Bai: "What do you think of Lord Fan's affairs?" ”

"There's a problem! And the problem is serious! Su Xun frowned and said sharply.

"Mr. Su is right, Yuan Hao's defeated general, even if he has the relationship between the Liao country and the land and has the capital to negotiate with the Great Song Dynasty, he should not be so arrogant, and the envoy sent is so secret, we don't even know it, continuously

The letter made Lord Fan furious, it can be seen how annoying the content of the letter is, why is it so unwise, isn't he afraid that my Great Song will send troops to retaliate? Pomber's eyes narrowed slightly, and he analyzed with a flash.

"The situation in the DPRK and China is not quite right, Fan Zhongyan is a staunch reformist official, Li Ruogu and King Pu'an can deal with him, but for no reason, let the adult, the Yongxing military road soldier and horse festival envoy, concurrently serve as the prefect of Yan'an, this is a bit wrong, the Great Song Dynasty has never had an official who takes care of both the government and the army, that is, the Fuzhou and the prefecture, and there are still envoys watching from above, why suddenly let the adults monopolize power?" Ou Xifan also raised incomprehensible questions and said.

"Lord Fan has always been steady, but Yuan Hao's letter of state made the steady Lord Fan lose his mind, it can be seen that the content of the letter is rude, Yuan Hao's letter of state is definitely not written for the Song Dynasty court, but specifically for Fan Zhongyan to see, so inferred, later Li Ruogu and King Pu'an dealt with Fan Zhongyan. It seems that they echo each other with Yuan Hao, are they united? Zhao Lei touched the short beard under his chin, frowned and said to himself.

Zhao Lei's words to himself made Su Xun's eyes light up, and Pang Bai patted the coffee table next to him and said in surprise: "That's right! The Western Xia was defeated, and he was no longer able to fight against the Great Song Dynasty, and it was normal for Yuan Hao to make friends with the important ministers of the Great Song Dynasty to negotiate peace, and now the conservatives in the court are gradually unable to fight against the reformers with the serious illness of King Meng, and it is not impossible to marry Yuan Hao's foreign aid. If Yuan Hao, Li Ruogu and the others join forces, then Lord Fan's suspension this time is obviously their trick. ”

"Since Yuan Hao, Li Ruogu and others joined forces to design Lord Fan, now that Lord Fan has been suspended and their purpose has been achieved, why did they raise Lord Fan to the position of Yan'an Prefect?" Ou Xifan asked puzzledly.

"I don't understand, it's definitely not a good thing, Li Ruogu and they will never give benefits to adults." Su Xun said bluntly with a sneer.

At this moment, the curtain of the big tent suddenly opened, and a guard beside Zhao Lei suddenly broke in.

News is coming from Bianjing! When Zhao Lei saw the arrival of the guards, he immediately understood that there was news coming from Bianjing. This guard was sent by Wang Su and was in charge of exchanging letters.

"Your Excellency!" The escort walked straight to Zhao Lei's side. After clasping his fists and saluting, he handed a secret letter to Zhao Lei.

Zhao Lei opened the letter, and after reading it, his face changed greatly.

"What's going on?" Su Xun looked at Zhao Lei, whose face was cold, and said.

"There is a small-scale locust plague in Guanzhong, and there is a tendency to expand, and the locust plague after the major drought may not be avoidable." Zhao Lei frowned and replied to Su Xun.

"The news of the locust plague was told by King Pu'an on the second day of Lord Li Ruoguti's tenure in Yan'an, and Lord Wang specially conveyed it to your lordship, hoping that your lord would be transferred back to Beijing within a month to participate in negotiations with Liao." At this time, the guard told Zhao Lei about Wang Su's message.

"Got it, you go down first!" Zhao Lei groaned for a while. With a wave of his hand, the guards retreated.

Zhao Lei sat in the tent, and after thinking about it for a long time, he looked at the three staff members who were also frowning and thinking hard, and said in a deep voice: "What do you think? Stay or go? ”

"Let's go!" Ou Xifan and Pang Bai said in unison.

"Maybe it's better to stay!" Su Xun said to Zhao Lei with a solemn face.

"Tell me what you think." Zhao Lei said casually.

"Obviously, Lord Fan is suspended. The adult and the governor of Yan'an Mansion is a trap jointly set by Yuan Hao, Li Ruogu and others, which is to use the drought and locust plague to stumble the adults in the north. Now that the war of the Song and Xia Wars is about to end, the next thing is to transform military victories into political merits, and the negotiation with Xia Liao is the best way to make political achievements, and the purpose of Li Ruogu and others is very simple, that is, to make adults not interfere in this negotiation, so I think adults must go back, and Li Ruogu's conspiracy cannot be successful. Pomber said in a dark voice with a small squint.

After listening to Pang Bai's words, Zhao Lei nodded thoughtfully, and turned his head to look at Ou Xifan.

"Mr. Pang is right, we can get more political capital when we return to Bianjing, and if we stay in Yan'an Mansion, we will have to face the great drought and locust plague, and we will not get any benefits from fighting drought and disasters, no matter how good we do, we will not get any benefits, so Yan'an Mansion is not a place to stay for a long time, and it is better for us to return to Bianjing." Ou Xifan said loudly to Zhao Lei.

"Where's Brother Mingyun?" Zhao Lei pondered for a moment again, then turned his head to Su Xun and asked.

"Your Excellency, Chinese New Year's Eve have two today, right?" Su Xun looked at Zhao Lei with strange eyes, and asked with a sigh.

"Yes!" Zhao Lei looked at Su Xun inexplicably and replied, in fact, he was only thirty-one years old, but the people of the Song Dynasty were used to being a fictitious age, so Zhao Lei could only follow the customs.

"My lord, I came to Bianjing from Meishan in the ninth year of the Heavenly Sage! In just ten years, from cloth clothes to the imperial court, from the third-grade masters, how many scholars are envious! After the battle of Luzon, the adult almost ranked eightfold, and now the adult has made new contributions, good Shuichuan and Fengzhou two battles to kill the elite of Western Xia 200,000, if the adult returns to Bianjing and Liao to negotiate with the power of a hundred battles, although the success is famous, but the adult has not thought about it, how will the official family treat the adult at that time, how to reward the adult? O high merit and earthquake lord! Su Xun continued to sigh and whispered.

Meritorious and shocking! Zhao Lei's heart was shocked, and he sat on the Taishi chair, and his mind began to churn.
