Chapter 10 Secret Conversation in the Study
Zhao Ming was secretly happy in his heart when he heard this: "The master of the Seed Master Dao is finally here!" Thinking of this, Zhao Ming got up with a sad face under the support of Zheng Afu.
At this time, several people walked out of the inner hall, and one of them looked like he should be a cultivator, with gray hair and fluttering silver beard, a good veteran. It's just that there is more sorrow and depression between the eyebrows, and there is a gloomy color.
Zhao Ming naturally understood why the Seed Master Dao fell ill as soon as he returned to the capital. History records that when the city was attacked in February, the original plan of the Seed Master Dao was to counterattack the Jin soldiers at the time of the spring equinox, and the emperor Zhao Huan was a little anxious, and at the instigation of Geng Nanzhong, Tong Guò Li Gang privately ordered the general Yao Pingzhong of the Seed Master Dao to attack the Jin camp, and the whole army of Yao Pingzhong was destroyed, and the 30,000 Western Army was destroyed in one fell swoop.
The first battle of Taiyuan rescue is also like a war, in the case that Li Gang commanded the army, Zhao Huan once again ordered the seed master to take over Li Gang to rescue Taiyuan, and directly sent the army in the Zhong division to the road of no return, the Zhong family army was almost wiped out, how do you let the seed master not be sad?
Thinking of this, Zhao Ming actually felt a little sorry for the old general, so he hurried to the old general, and before he could wait for the master to perform the courtesy of the monarch and minister, he grabbed the hand of the master and said, "The old general is exempt!" ”
The seed master is struggling to get up from the bed, as soon as he returns to the capital, there is a feeling of powerlessness, although he is familiar with the art of war and knows the march and fight, but in the past half a year, all his construction has been almost all turned over by the new emperor Zhao Huan, and he is almost more and more black, it is simply the culprit of the defeat, and what is even more terrifying is that his hard work for decades was almost completely wiped out by the Jin soldiers in half a year, and the master felt that he had no face to see his ancestors again, The army founded by five generations was defeated in his own hands, so when he returned to the capital, he was depressed and lay down in bed.
But the planter never thought that when he was completely disappointed in the current emperor, the family actually told himself, the emperor beheaded the prime minister Zhang Bangchang and the Taifu Geng Nanzhong in the court and beheaded them outside the city gate, the old Zhong felt relieved, and then got the news that the emperor was coming to the house, and the planter suddenly felt that his anger was a lot smoother, after all, the emperor was still young, and there were many things that were nonsense around the emperor.
So the planter immediately asked his family to change his clothes to welcome the arrival of the new master, but when the planter came out, he heard where the emperor was mourning his deceased brother, and he kowtowed three times for the deceased brother at the cost of ten thousand gold, which was simply to give the old Zhong's family face, and the planter suddenly had ambition in his chest, who said that the emperor was mediocre, how authentic and how comfortable these loyal ministers were doing these things today!
So when Zhao Ming took the hand of the planter, the planter was in tears: "Your Majesty, how can the old minister He De let the saint come in person and treat my brother so kindly!" ”
As soon as Zhao Ming saw the old general crying bitterly, he actually showed sadness from his heart: "The old general's family has been loyal to the imperial court for five generations, doesn't my royal family have a little conscience?" Speaking of this, Zhao Ming tightly grabbed the hand of the seed master and said, "Old general, I don't know if I can go to your study to talk about it?" ”
The seed master leaned over with some difficulty and said, "The old minister is honored!" ”
Zhao Ming immediately helped the seed master to move to the study, but the ministers under him could only wait outside the mourning hall, and the seed on the side said: "Today, the seed family has a lot of face, it seems that the emperor is going to invite his uncle out of the mountain again!" ”
In the study, Zhao Ming sat on the main seat, and the seed master Dao also sat on Zhao Ming's left hand with the support of Zheng Afu.
Zhao Ming ran directly to the topic: "Old general, everything in the past was confused, and today is the first thing that the old general apologizes for!" ”
The seed master didn't expect Zhao Ming to come up and apologize to himself, and said in his heart: "Could it be that the emperor has really changed his temper?" He immediately said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to blame yourself, I don't know what the emperor is going to do next?" ”
Zhao Ming said in his heart: "It's really happy! He said: "Old general, I have just issued a blood edict in my Funing Palace, ordering the righteous men of the world to raise troops and serve the king, and from today onwards, anyone who speaks peacefully or obstructs the war of resistance will not be pardoned!" ”
Seed Master Dao looked at Zhao Mingyan intently and said, "In this way, Your Majesty should be careful!" ”
Zhao Mingyi laughed in surprise and said, "I don't understand what the adults mean!" ”
"The guards and the horses are all commanding Cao Yu and the palace marshal Wang Zongmao, these two people can be said to be very important to the emperor now!"
Zhao Ming smiled: "Why am I still afraid that the two of them will not be able to rebel?" ”
The seed master sighed and said: "Your Majesty, think about your fight against the Jin soldiers today, if someone is dissatisfied with the emperor, what will you do?" What if the Emperor doesn't agree with the emperor's main battle? If someone persuaded the emperor to do something extraordinary at this time, how would Cao Xi and Wang Zongmi, the leaders of the Praetorian Guard, choose? ”
A sentence reminded Zhao Ming, Zhao Ming said in his heart: "Yes, since I have come to the Song Dynasty, I am afraid that some things should have changed, assuming that I did not become a prisoner of Jin Bing, but will King Kang Zhao Gou be the emperor?" Thinking of this, Zhao Mingyan said: "A word to wake up the person in the dream, but I don't know how to deal with it next?" ”
The seed master said: Now the plan, the emperor is ordering the king of the world to be diligent, and on the other hand, he wants to expand the army from Bianliang City, I have 300,000 people in Bianliang City, and there are still some guards in the families of the princes and ministers, so they can all be incorporated into the army and establish a new army. ”
Zhao Ming bowed his head and said: "It's just that who is the general, do you still let me use some literati who don't understand the art of war to mislead the country?" ”
The seed master said: "Although Cao Yu is not a powerful person, he can still be used for being loyal, but the palace marshal Wang Zongwei and I build the emperor are still cautious!" There are also eunuchs in the palace! ”
Zhao Ming naturally understood the meaning of the Seed Master's Dao and said: "Since Tong Guan, the ** eunuch has not yet achieved the climate, as for Zheng Gonggong, I don't think I will be at ease!" ”
What Zheng Afu heard was that he said in a loud voice: "The slave doesn't dare, then he doesn't dare!" ”
The master didn't know that he would say so many words, and he was a little out of breath, but the old general still took Zhao Ming's hand and said: "Your Majesty, besides, I think we can make some beaded crossbows in order to shoot the Jin soldiers, the horses of the Jin people are faster than our horses, if it is a cavalry battle, we will be defeated, so we must attack the enemy with our own strengths!" ”
Zhao Ming felt that it made sense when he heard it, and grabbed the hand of the seed master and said, "Old general, I have something to ask for!" ”
The planter said: "Your Majesty, please speak, why do you ask for it?" ”
Zhao Ming tightly grabbed the hand of the Seed Master Dao and said: "At the head of the national crisis, you are my trusted minister, you must not make a mistake, I want to ask you to live in the palace with me, so that I can consult the old general if I have something!" ”
Seed Master Dao never dreamed that Zhao Ming would have such an idea, and immediately shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, this is unreasonable, I don't think it's better to let Gonggong Zheng or my nephew Zhong Hong spread the news if there is anything!" ”
Suddenly, Zhao Ming had an idea, and immediately asked, "Old general, I don't know if this kind of martial arts will be martial?" ”
