Wushu has been ill for a long time and it is difficult to deal with complicated government affairs, but his nephew is not angry, he only takes wine as his companion every day, more when he is drunk and less when he is sober, and every time he is sober, he interferes in the government and does some ridiculous things, which makes it difficult for him to recuperate at ease, and can only drag the sick body to preside over the overall situation. But it is difficult to go to the court every day, so the Taishi's Mansion has become the yamen, and you have to come here to ask for instructions if you have anything.

"Saheran, what's the situation in Linhuang Mansion?" Wushu specially set aside half a day today to summon his son-in-law Su Shi Lie Zhining, who returned from Taizhou, of course, because he was concerned about what Zhao Er was doing over there, so he asked his son-in-law to sit down and ask.

"Taishi, Zhao Er has already returned south after presiding over the Khitan Mountain Sacrifice Ceremony, and the armies of the Southern Dynasties have also returned to their stations, and the front line of Linhuang Mansion and Dading Mansion has been restored as before!" Fu Shi Lie Zhining replied respectfully.

"Oh, is Zhao Er in the northwest Panheng for months just for hunting and sacrificing to the mountains? What else did he do! Wushu asked with a frown, he knew the old opponent quite well and knew that he would never be so peaceful.

"Taishi, Zhao Er also reviewed the armies in the northwest, and also built a castle, which served as the main defender of the castle, and let the leaders of each army attack it, which is like treating training as a game!" Fu Shi Lie Zhining said with a smile.

"What?" Wushu listened to it but didn't take it as a joke, suddenly sat up straight, and asked with a straight face, "What is the victory, how many people did he lead to defend the city, and how many people attacked the city!" ”

"Taishi, this is just a very boring game for Zhao Erxian, why take it seriously, he is the emperor who dares to win, it's just to play with him!" Seeing that Wushu was nervous about this little thing, Su Shi Lie Zhining was a little amused. But he didn't dare to come out, so he took a cushion next to him and leaned on it and said.

"Confused. Although Zhao Erqi behaves perversely, he has a stubborn temperament. But he never joked about marching and fighting, and there must be a deep meaning in what he did, you can tell me in detail! Seeing that his son-in-law didn't take it seriously, Wushu said a little angrily.

"Yes! According to the spies we sent later, Zhao Er used a ruined fort to rebuild on the bank of Huangshui and led 5,000 state troops and their guards to defend the city, and the attacking side was composed of about 50,000 forbidden troops under the jurisdiction of the Dading Pacification Division, and the two sides fought for more than ten days. Because the martial law spies around the 'battlefield' could not go deeper, they did not know the details, and only then entered the abandoned fort to observe. The moats were razed to the ground by artillery fire, and I only heard that some soldiers complained that because of the defeat of the emperor, they did not even dare to ask for the reward of the entourage! Seeing that Old Taishan was angry, he also realized the severity of the matter, and hurriedly told him all he knew, but he didn't know anything at all, so he knew very little.

"Alas, Zhao Er is going to use troops against us, and the big war is about to start again!" Wushu sighed and said.

"Taishi is too worried. The southern army has withdrawn from the border, and it has already returned to Bianjing, so how can there be fighting? Fu Shi Lie Zhining wondered very much why his father-in-law had made the conclusion that the two countries were going to fight again from such a trivial matter.

"Zhao Er's northern tour is of great significance. He probably intended to take revenge because we had joined forces with the Tatars to exterminate the Mughals, but before the battle he found that we had built a boundary trench along the border. And it was beyond his estimates, and he judged that if he forced his way across the trench, he would pay great casualties. Therefore, the idea of revenge was abandoned, and the guò autumn performance was used to find a way to break through the boundary trench. Wushu said leisurely. What he said was not entirely correct, but he also guessed what Zhao Ta did, which shows that he is not old and confused.

"Then Zhao Erwolf's return to the north means that he has not found a way to break through the boundary trench, we can sit back and relax for the time being, why should the Taishi be careful!" Su Shi Lie Zhining nodded and partially agreed with Wushu's opinion, but he still had doubts in his heart.

Zhao Er's return to the north only temporarily gave up the idea of going to war, and now he has taken advantage of the civil strife in Dali to send troops to Dali, and his strength can be leveled in a few months. And the Khitans asked him to preside over the mountain sacrifice ceremony, showing that they surrendered wholeheartedly, so that the Southern Dynasty would no longer have to worry about internal strife and external troubles, so it would definitely go all out to deal with us. And as soon as the war begins, it will no longer be such a small fight on the border, but an all-out attack! The vultures said in a low tone, obviously deeply worried.

"Don't worry, Taishi, now we have hundreds of thousands of male soldiers, and there are thousands of miles of boundary trenches to block us, even if the Song army comes to attack, there will be no return!" Fu Shi Lie Zhining was not worried, and said proudly.

"Well, we are all old, and in the future, we look forward to you making contributions on the battlefield, expanding the territory, and completing the legacy of Taizu!" Wushu encouraged his son-in-law's passion, "You have been in Taizhou for more than a year, what are your plans to come back?" "In the past, Fu Shi Lie Zhining was just a captain of the palace guard, and sending him to the northwest to exterminate the Muguls was just a temporary errand, but it was only because of Zhao Er's northern tour that it was delayed for so long, and now he will hand over the order after returning to Beijing, waiting for a new appointment.

"I am willing to listen to the arrangement of the Taishi!" Fu Shi Lie Zhining replied respectfully.

"Very well, you can recuperate for a while, and then I will think about it. I'm a little tired now, so let's quit first! Wushu nodded and said, not making a decision on the spot.

Seeing that the old man had given an eviction order, he opened his mouth and swallowed the words back into his stomach, bowed down and retired. The Vulture watched it go, but did not move, but fell into deep thought. Now the situation in the DPRK and China is becoming increasingly tense, and some of the old ministers of the past have killed or degraded in this infighting one after another, and the talents have withered, so he can only promote these young people to the top and fill the vacancies. But he soon found that these young people lacked experience, but they were in high positions, and their actions were inevitably rough, and they had been unable to get things wrong for a long time, especially the two nephews he had cultivated by himself now had too many 'problems'......

Wan Yan Liang, the son of the eldest brother of Wushu Zonggan, was taken special care by the emperor because of the special relationship between his family and the emperor Wan Yan Liang, and at the age of 20, he became a general of the marching army and hussars by virtue of the defeat in Liaoyang. Two years ago, he was crowned General Longhuwei, moved to Guanglu, and became Liaoyang Guard. In May of this year, he was summoned by the emperor to the capital and was awarded the same judgment as a major matter, and he was given a special entry.

In just half a year, Wan Yanliang was worshiped by the emperor as Shangshu Zuocheng, becoming one of the core decision-makers of the country and holding authority. When he talked to the emperor a few days ago, the brothers talked about the difficulty of Taizu's entrepreneurship, and Wan Yanliang couldn't help crying, which moved the emperor very much, thinking that he was very loyal, and wanted to promote him to Pingzhang political affairs. If it weren't for the fact that Wushu suppressed it with his shallow qualifications, I was afraid that if he was appointed now, he would be on an equal footing with himself in a few years.

Wan Yan Yong, the son of Wushu's other nephew Zongfu, is not simple, Wan Yan Yong often drinks heavily and kills relatives and ministers, but he is only good to him. And Wan Yan Yong is also very good at being a man, his father Zongfu once got a white jade belt used by the emperor of the Song Dynasty when he was in the Song Dynasty, as a family heirloom, Wan Yan Yong cherished it very much. But Wan Yanyong's wife, Wu Linjing, said to him: "This is not suitable for the royal residence, and it should be dedicated to the Son of Heaven." Wan Yanyong felt that her words were reasonable, so he dedicated the white jade belt to Jin Xizong, won the favor of the queen, and also won the trust of the emperor.

Seeing the people in the family in power, Wushu felt relieved and deeply worried. The emperor was mediocre and murderous, which made the court chaotic, made the courtiers tremble, and caused the dissatisfaction of many people, and many people were ready to move, wanting to replace Wan Yan Yong and re-elect the emperor. And this will inevitably make these children with noble blood and high positions look crooked and compete for the throne.

Wan Yan Yong is still loyal, quiet and enlightened, good at riding and shooting, very loved by the soldiers in the army, and now he is quite disciplined and has no intention of committing a crime. And what worries him is Wan Yan Liang, this child has a lively heart and a sinister temperament, after returning to Beijing, he has frequent contacts with many powerful people in Beijing, and once drank too much wine at a banquet, saying: He is the son of Taizu's eldest son Wanyan Zonggan, and he is also the grandson of Taizu, Wanyan can be the emperor, and he can too. It can be seen that he has become rebellious.

Another restless person is the current empress, she takes advantage of her special status and the emperor's stupidity, often interferes in court politics, and actively woos young and promising ministers and generals in the court, Wan Yan Liang and Wan Yan Yong are very close to her, and she also strongly recommends them to the emperor. Now there are rumors in Beijing that he has a relationship with Wan Yanliang**, and the two have been bumped into in a private meeting in the 'Song Pavilion', because it involves royal secrets, no one dares to say more, but it is just spread in private, but there is no real evidence.

Wushu knows that the root cause of the country's turmoil is still because the imperial power is not established since Taizong, and the ministers control the government.

But Wushu also realized that age was unforgiving, and now he was even more ill for a long time, so he might go to chat with Taizu one day. As soon as he is gone, no one in the DPRK and China will be able to deter Xiaoxiao, and it will inevitably trigger a new round of power struggle, set off a bloody storm, and plunge the country into a crisis. He understood that with the current family and even the entire country, except for himself, there was no one who could compete with the Great Song Dynasty Zhao Er, but his ambition to unify the world and his character of retribution would definitely take this opportunity to send troops, and only God knows how much of the foundation laid by his ancestors at that time would remain.

"Since we are going to fight sooner or later, why don't we fight it while I'm still alive!" Wushu let out a long breath and muttered, he knew that his days were numbered, and now the external troubles were greater than the internal strife, and only by pacifying the external troubles could the Dajin Kingdom be saved, as for his death, even if the sky collapsed and the flood was monstrous, the world would still be Wanyan's ......
