Chapter 19 The brave wins
Speaking of this, Cao Xi's face was also full of excitement, after all, the people had long been disappointed in this weak court that was only willing to blindly seek peace.
But just when everyone was already numb, everyone on the border knew that Li Gang was going to be demoted again, a miracle appeared, the emperor made a sharp move, and his children killed two leaders of the surrender faction of the main peace, and for a while, the people in the streets and alleys of Bianjing were excitedly discussing: "I am going to kill the Jin soldiers, and the emperor supports the main battle faction!" ”
Zhao Ming knew that Cao Xi was telling the truth, he looked at Cao Yao who was excited, but he couldn't get excited in his heart, because Zhao Ming knew that Jin Bing was in the light, and the surging conspiracy was in the dark. There are hundreds of thousands of Jin soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, whether it is the plain of the war horses or the hardness of the weapons and the physique of the Jin people, they are not comparable to the sick and weak soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Ming knows that the Jin soldiers with the bright face can completely bury themselves and the decaying dynasty behind them.
What's more, there is an emperor who can jump out at any time and accuse himself of adding problems to himself? Zhao Ming knew that what Empress Zhu said was not wrong, if it wasn't for the fact that Jin Bing came early and came quickly, maybe he could really be deposed as the crown prince by his father Zhao Ji, and Zhao Kai and Zhao Gou could devour their own tiger wolves.
Zhao Ming sighed secretly, he knew that he had no way out, he didn't know if he could change history with some of his advantages, but Zhao Ming knew that he really had no choice, he remembered the words of Marshal Liu Bocheng in later generations: "The brave wins when they meet on a narrow road!" ”
"Yes!" Zhao Ming said unconsciously: "When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!" ”
Li Gang and the others didn't expect that the emperor in front of them was not only not excited when he understood Cao Yao's heartfelt words, but also popped out such a sentence!
Li Gang and Wu Ge heard it clearly, and said repeatedly: "When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!" ”
Li Gang stroked his palm and said: "The emperor said well, what my people of the Great Song Dynasty lacked in the past is this kind of heroic spirit of the brave who meets on a narrow road!" ”
Zhao Ming was stunned for a moment, and randomly felt that his face was a little red, and he smiled: "I just suddenly thought of a word from my ancestors!" Speaking of this, Zhao Ming couldn't help but think of Marshal Liu Bocheng, who was respected by the political commissar, and said secretly: "Liu Shuai, what would you do if you came to command the defense of Bianjing?" ”
After thinking about it, Zhao Ming smiled and said, "Zhongqing, there is no need to say compliments. In some ways, you know better than I know how difficult my situation is! Wu Ge, after you go back, immediately check whether the number of soldiers defending the four walls matches the number of soldiers on the military department's book. Cao Xi, you immediately count and screen all the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army, I not only want the number of the Royal Forest Army, but I also want you to select 800 soldiers for me who have great arm strength and can be good at running! Wu Ge and Cao Xi immediately received the order.
Zhao Ming glanced at He Qingyan and said directly: "General He Qingyan and you will immediately search for prime-aged yaks around Bianjing City with the Dragon Guard, the more the better!" “
He Qingyan was stunned for a moment, and immediately leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, I am the Great Song Decree...."
Zhao Mingyi waved his hand to stop He Qingyan and said: "I know better than you about the Great Song Dynasty, but now I don't have time to change any Great Song Dynasty, my mouth is the best Great Song Dynasty, you don't hesitate to do it immediately, you must find three thousand yak cattle before the Jin soldiers surround me in Bianjing, more is better!" Speaking of this, Zhao Ming glanced at Li Gang and said: "Prime Minister Li, you can order the Ministry of Rites to pay some silver taels to General He, we must buy the things of the common people, not rob them!" ”
He Qingyan hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, what if the people don't sell it?" ”
Zhao Ming sneered: "That's your incompetence, can the common people support my Great Song Emperor to fight against the Jin soldiers?" ”
Saying that, Zhao Minglang said: "He Qingyan, you don't have much time, you have to be fast and remember the people's hearts, you have to let the people know that I really need their yak to survive this difficult winter!" ”
Zhao Ming naturally couldn't tell his true intentions, after all, many of his plans were just a framework, and there were still many details that needed to be completed and carved by himself.
Li Gang seemed to catch something from Zhao Ming's words, and said: "Your Majesty, can we make some articles from the waterway!" ”
Zhao Ming nodded and said: "You have your own idea about this Prime Minister Li, but you remember that today's matter cannot be leaked to anyone before tomorrow morning, especially the matter of the yak is the highest secret, even the Emperor Taishang can't reveal anything!" ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Ming seemed to remember something and said to Cao Xi and He Qingyan: "I need a few protective guards, you choose a few and let them see me immediately!" ”
Li Gang and Wu Ge glanced at each other, and the two said in unison: "Your Majesty, are you going out of the palace?" ”
Zhao Ming nodded and said: "I should also go to the people to take a walk, take a look at the people of my Great Song Dynasty, and take a look at the soldiers of my Bianjing Chen Shu. But this time I want to pay a private visit, and you can't try to protect me, understand? ”
After Zhao Ming asked this sentence, Li Gang and a few people didn't answer, it's very simple, they don't understand, this is something that the emperor has not done, although folklore has it that the old emperor once liked to go to the Goulan Courtyard at night to meet the young bitch Li Shishi, but after all, it was a peaceful year, and it was still night. Now at this time, the emperor wants to take a few Praetorian Guards to Bianjing City for a walk, we don't know, what do you tell us to say? What to do?
Several people's eyes were fixed on Li Gang's body, and Li Gang also understood what a few people meant, he is now the prime minister, and he is the biggest prime minister, in the words of later generations, he is the prime minister, and it seems that he is really unreasonable not to persuade the emperor at this time.
Li Gang coughed dryly, and said randomly: "Your Majesty..." Zhao Ming glared at Li Gang fiercely and said, "I still have a lot of things to do, you go back immediately and do these things according to my will." Speaking of this, Zhao Ming sighed and said secretly: "I still have a big scene waiting for me at night, Concubine Wei, Zhao Gou, Concubine Wang, Zhao Kai, you wait, it will really surprise you!" “
After Zhao Ming smiled coldly, he suddenly realized that Li Gang and the others had not retreated, and he couldn't help but change his face and said, "Don't you understand what I said?" Don't quit yet!! ”
Li Gang and several people obviously felt the imperial authority on Zhao Ming's body, and Li Gang and Wu Ge thought to themselves: "When did this emperor become so domineering, Niu fork!" ”
In desperation, Li Gang and the others had to retreat.
Zhao Ming saw a few people retreating, and said with a smile: "Old minion, don't let me come in yet!" ”
When Zheng Afu at the door heard this, he felt his legs and stomach tremble, and said in his heart: "Why is this emperor so strong with me?" ”
