Knowing that the Liao State and the Western Regions are in danger, but due to the slow transmission of information, Tokyo cannot know the results in time, which makes the atmosphere in the court a little dull and depressing.\\{Please, read the full text for the first time}

The only good news is that the river control project will be completed ahead of schedule in mid-to-late April, but this does not completely dilute the dullness in everyone's hearts, and waiting has always been the most difficult thing to bear.

Not for Yang Yi to come in, no news is the best news, especially in the Western Regions, the more time passes, the stronger Yang Yi's confidence in the cultivation and construction will be.

Because from the current news, it seems that although the seed construction is in danger, it has never been completely defeated, which itself is unreasonable, and it is unreasonable for the seed family to enter the favorite thousand, and now Yang Yi is more and more relaxed.

Li Qingchen, as the chief examiner of Enke, was imprisoned in the temple of King Wucheng. The imperial court's preparations for Yanyun have been further accelerated, so Yang Yi can't be "sick" anymore, otherwise the busy old man Zhang is probably going to go crazy.

Yang Yiman hung his sleeves and took a shortcut into the Zuoye Gate, the construction of the Ming Hall in the Zuoye Gate continued, but the construction force was not very much, and the progress was very slow; This is understandable, the imperial court is now riddled with everything, where can it take care of a lot, and the construction of the Ming Hall has not been stopped, which is already a blessing.

Mingtang occupies the territory of the original secretary and supervisor, and the new secretary and supervisor will move to the east side of the thousand-step corridor on Yu Street, and now it is not completely built, and the secretary and supervisor can only temporarily nest in a hall next to it to do business.

For this reason, Qin Zigui has complained to Yang Yi many times, and was repaired by Yang once, so he finally didn't dare to complain anymore.

Qin Zigui presided over the disaster relief in Dingxiang, plus he was originally born in Tanhualang, and now he has been promoted to secretary and supervisor, which is the deputy position of the secretary and supervisor, and he is a very noble dispatch.

When Yang Yi passed by the palace where they were doing official business, Qin Zigui also happened to come to the palace, and when he saw Yang Yi, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Ren, how is your noble condition?" Hahaha, when I saw Brother Ren, my brother couldn't help but think of Wang Jinggong........."

Qin Zigui's quipping words, Yang Yi understood the meaning, at the beginning Wang Anshi was called "stubborn Xianggong" in front of Emperor Shenzong never back down, once the proposed policy was not fully supported by Emperor Shenzong, Wang Anshi was "sick", sometimes a month of illness, so that Emperor Shenzong was so anxious that he scratched his head, three requests and five invitations, and he had to agree with his opinion, Wang Anshi would "bring illness" to the court.

Yang Yi looked back and thought, uh...... It seems that he has been "sick" several times, will he also be called a "bad bachelor" in the future? It's not appropriate, it's not appropriate.

He glared at Qin Zigui and said, "Zigui o! If you want to get sick, I can help you and ensure that you can't get out of bed for three months, how about it, free experience, do you want to try? ”

The smile on Qin Zigui's face froze, and he replied curtly: "Brother Ren smiled, my brother's body is okay, he can't get sick, he can't get sick." ”

"So I'm here to help you."

"It's not troublesome Brother Ren, uh, my brother is already unwell, unwell......"

"Hahaha!"

Yang Yilang laughed twice, beat the horse and left, got off the horse of the prime ministers, handed the horse to the inner palace guards, and slowly paced to the academy.

The Great Song Dynasty is not a premature court meeting, but a five-day dynasty, there is no need to go to the Wende Hall in Pingri, just go directly to his own public office, the time of the government is about seven o'clock in the morning, this Yang Yi can barely accept it, otherwise he will have to get up in the middle of the night every three watches, it is estimated that he would have collapsed.

As soon as Yang Yi entered his signature room, a clerk from the staff hall hurried to ask for a meeting and brought a secret letter to Yang Yi.

"Scholar Yang, Governor Ma has ordered me to hand this over to you, and Governor Ma has personally gone to the political affairs hall and reported to the public."

Yang Yi took the letter and saw that this was an urgent secret letter sent from Beijing, because it was delivered by carrier pigeons, the content was limited, but the information conveyed by the hundreds of fly-headed characters in the letter made Yang Yi feel excited.

In the Hulunbuir Prairie, Changzhidi fought against Yelu Yanxi's 330,000 army with 60,000 troops, and defeated Yelu Yanxi in one fell swoop, more than 300,000 Liao troops all collapsed, and more than 100,000 Liao troops surrendered to Changzhidi; The whereabouts of Yelu Yanxi, the lord of Liao, are unknown, and hundreds of major officials such as Pingzhangshi Yelu Yan, the governor of the political affairs of the People's Republic of China, Lu Lisi, the king of Zhao, Yelu Weiye, the king of Min, and Xiao Tzuyi, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council of the Northern Yuan, were captured.

And this urgent secret letter, which has limited space, also focuses on a name: Wanyan Aguda.

Seeing this name appear, Yang Yi couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart, after Yan A bone fight, after Yan A bone fight, after Yan A bone fight, you finally came out!

And it emerged ten years earlier than the original history, and now history has changed, but Wanyan Aguta has not only not been drowned under the torrent of history, but also emerged earlier.

Yang Yi didn't think much about it, put away the secret messenger and hurried to the political hall.

As expected, in the political affairs hall, except for Li Qingchen, who was locked up in the temple of Wucheng Wang, the three provinces were all in charge, and the yamen of the six departments had all sent officials to inform them in the thousand-step corridor of the royal street opposite the gate of the palace.

Seeing Yang Yi rushing, Zhang Dian glanced at him with a little dissatisfaction, but fortunately, he finally saw him at the critical moment, and Zhang Dian opened his mouth to ask him first: "Ren Zhi, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Yang Yi looked calm and clear when he fell, sat down in the next seat and replied: "Zhang Xianggong, this is not a big deal, there is not much luck in the future, Yelu Yanxi's defeat is not something we expected early on?" ”

Yang Yi's words made Zhang Dan, Xu Jiang, Cai Bian and others who were sitting slightly stunned, to be precise, Yelu Yanxi's defeat was not expected by everyone, but by Yang Yi, the ghost.

Last year, when Yelu Yanxi wanted to drive a personal expedition, Yang Yi asserted that he would be defeated, and now he was really given by Yang Yi.

The eyes that everyone looked at Yang Yi couldn't help but be a little complicated; Bi Jing is not a thing, Yang Yi is equivalent to giving Yelu Yanxi life and death in the morning, this kind of prediction ability is awe-inspiring.

More than 300,000 troops! This is already eighty percent of the Liao State's troops, so thrown in the Hulunbuir Prairie, what is even more fatal is that the emperor is missing, sixty percent of the important ministers are captured, which will inevitably lead to the collapse of the Liao State's administration, and it is difficult to make a quick remedy.

This situation has a lot to do with the Liao State's bowl system, which is a kind of national rule, and the military and political ministers at the decision-making level have always not stayed in Shangjing, but followed the emperor, and rotated the bowl land in four seasons; This time, Yelu Yanxi's imperial expedition was like a rotational grazing of the bowl, and the decision-making level of the Liao State followed the emperor's side according to 1ri, so that when the army was defeated, it was given a nest by the governor.

And all this, last year, seemed to be expected by Yang Yi, and repeatedly urged the imperial court to hurry up preparations for war. No wonder even Zhang Dun looked at him a little strangely.

Soon, the six Shangshu and the Empress Dowager Liu Qingjing also rushed to the political hall.

Liu Qingjing said clearly: "I am the ancestors of the ancestors, I have never forgotten to recover the land of Yanyun, for which I have repeatedly personally conquered, and paid a heavy value, but the emperor is not blessed, so that the land of Yanyun is still occupied by the Khitan, and now my Great Song Dynasty is prosperous, and the Khitan is about to die, it is a good opportunity to uphold the will of the ancestors and recover Yanyun; Since the beginning of last year, the imperial court has begun to prepare for war intensively, for which countless money and food have been spent, and the battle to recover Yanyun can no longer be righteous, and now the ministers only need to discuss the reasons for sending troops, and the specific time to send troops, and how many troops to recruit is appropriate. ”

At a critical time, Liu Qingjing is a female streamer, and her words are also loud.

The important ministers in the middle couldn't help but exchange a look, and Cai Bian replied first: "What the Queen Mother said is extremely true, the land of Yanyun should be recovered as soon as possible, but now, although the Khitan has lost more than 300,000 troops, the Liao lord is missing, and the situation is unknown. ”

Zhang Shangying, the secretary of the ministry, said with a tough attitude: "Queen Mother, the minister thinks that there is no need to wait, the Khitan army of more than 300,000 is overthrown, the Liao lord is missing, and more than half of the important ministers are captured, and the Liao country will be in chaos. ”

Empress Dowager Liu glanced at Yang Yi, and then turned to Zhang Dian and asked, "What does Zhang Xiang think?" ”

Zhang Dian replied: "The old minister also agreed to send troops immediately, the imperial court has been preparing for the battle of Yanyun for nearly a year, most of the troops have been stationed in Hedong and Hebei, and military funds have also been hoarded in a large number of border cities, at this time it is not a problem to send troops to Yanyun immediately, the key point is that our dynasty still lacks a reason to send troops." ”

The reason is very important, with the name of righteousness, can raise a magnificent division, otherwise the division will be nameless, morale will not be bad, and all countries will look sideways, whether it is military or political, it will be extremely unfavorable.

Yang Yi said: "Queen Mother, the staff of the staff pavilion has contacted Zhao Wang Yelu Mingxi many times before, at this time the whereabouts of the Liao lord Yelu Yanxi are unknown, and our dynasty just supported Yelu Minghu and let him be the emperor in Youzhou, and then he came forward to ask me to send troops to quell the chaos." ”

The staff of the staff pavilion has been actively contacting Zhao Wang Yelu Minghui, and Yang Yi is not the only one who knows about this matter, Zhang Dian Xu and others all know about it, but they were very unimpressed at the beginning, thinking that it would not be of much use, so they didn't care about this matter.

Now that Yang Yi mentioned it, they remembered this matter and looked at Yang Yi strangely again, yes, if they can raise a puppet now and let him invite the Great Song Dynasty to send troops, then they have the best righteous name.

The question is, does Yang Yi seem to have expected that the Liao lord Yelu Yanxi would be killed or captured in battle? Otherwise, Zhao Wang Ye Ming's move would not be of much use.

Yang Yi didn't explain, and continued: "I can make the final preparations for the war, while trying to support Yelu Ming, if you can't support it, then you can use another name, in short, the situation can not be delayed any longer, the Jinghua of Liao is mostly in the southwest of the two capital roads, these two roads are best taken before they are destroyed by the war, which is very important for the recovery of people's livelihood in the future." ”

The household department is in charge of the money bag, and is most concerned about economic issues, Cai Jing immediately agreed: "Scholar Yang is reasonable, the damage to animal husbandry in the war is relatively large, and the damage to agriculture will be much greater, the southwest and Liangjing provinces are the main farming areas of Liao, and most of the life is also Han people, and it is necessary for our dynasty to take these two Jingdao before the long jurisdiction, so as to reduce the damage of the war, so that the imperial court can also spend less money on the restoration of people's livelihood after the war in the future." ”

The important ministers in the political hall said a word, I said a word, and discussed it enthusiastically, and the privy envoy Xu Jiang said: "Although Yelu Minghu is the grandson of Liao Xingzong, his reputation in Liao is far from that of Yelu Chun, King Zheng; What's more, Yelu and Lu Wei, who are still in high moral esteem, are recuperating in Shangjing, and the Liao State is still a new lord, and the subjects are afraid that they will be biased towards Yelu Chun or Yelu and Lu Hui. ”

Empress Dowager Liu said to Yang Yi: "It was Yang Qing who proposed to support Yelu Ming, how should you implement it." ”

"Queen Mother, ladies and gentlemen, Yelu Chun is indeed the most famous, but he accompanied Yelu Yanxi to Mobei, and although the secret letter sent back did not mention that he was captured, it also did not mention whether he fled back to Shangjing; According to the minister's analysis, when Yelu Yanxi was defeated, Shangjing was blocked by the rebels of Wuthorn Mali, and Yelu Chun was not dead, so I am afraid it would be difficult to return to Shangjing immediately; Although Yelu and Lu Wei are famous, they are old, and they are not well injured, and the subjects of Liao are probably unwilling to follow a general; Although Yelu Minghui is not famous, but like Yelu Chun, he is also the grandson of Liaoxingzhong, and he is only forty-two years old, as long as our Great Song Dynasty expresses full support for him, he has our dynasty as a strong backer, as long as the Khitan subjects do not want to fall under the head of the Chang Jurisdiction, I believe that they are willing to support Yelu Minghui as the main. ”

Empress Dowager Liu nodded and said, "What Yang Qing said is very reasonable, prime ministers, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Dian replied: "Queen Mother, the old minister thought he could give it a try. ”

After Zhang Dian expressed his position, no one objected again, anyway, if Yelu Mingqi couldn't support him, the Great Song Dynasty would send troops to Yanyun, but it was just another reason; As for how to deal with Yelu Minghu after the matter is moved, Shi Jingtang, the child emperor, is a good precedent, let him Mobei be an emperor and help the Great Song Dynasty guard the northern Xinjiang, this should be a good choice; Now Mobei, vast and empty, the people mostly live on nomadism, the Great Song Dynasty to send officials to govern, it is very difficult, it is better to let an emperor guard first.

As for whether the Khitan will rise again in Mobei and become a strong rival of the Great Song Dynasty, there is no need to worry, the appearance of the flintlock pistol can already mark the past of the era of nomads.

In the end, it was a matter of discussing the question of how many troops to dispatch, Yang Yi still thought that the soldiers were not too expensive, the Liao State was vast, and the troops dispatched were too many, and the imperial court would be under huge logistical pressure, Yang Yi thought that it would be enough to dispatch 100,000 troops.

His proposal was supported by Cai Jing first, but Cai Jing loved him to death.

If it was like Taizong or Shenzong at that time, if they raised two or three hundred thousand troops at every turn, it is estimated that Cai Jing would have no place to cry.

One hundred thousand, one hundred thousand.

In the end, who will be the manager, this is again the most critical question.
