Jiankang Mansion, where the Son of Heaven resides in Ye, is the temporary court of the Great Song Dynasty.

The front division of the palace, the imperial city division, and the imperial forest army have long been unable to pass through the water surrounded here.

Not only here, but Jiankang Mansion has also implemented military management, and there are soldiers coming and going everywhere on the streets.

In fact, not only inside the city, but also outside the healthy city, north and south of the Yangtze River, there are many military ships everywhere, patrolling back and forth, and actively defending.

Although ten days ago, north of the Yangtze River, under the arrangement of Liu Qi, the commander of the left army of Zhenjiang Prefecture, Jia Hezhong, Wu Chao, and Wang Zuo, the fourth general of the Chinese army, set up an ambush, defeated the Jin army, beheaded 10,000 households in Gaojingshan, and captured hundreds of people, so that the Jin army could not gain a foothold in the Zhenjiang area.

However, the Jin army located on the left bank of the quarry has 100,000 people, and the gold lord Wanyan Liang personally drove the expedition, threatening the safety of the Yangtze River all the time, so the people of the entire Jiankang Mansion were in a panic.

You must know that Jingkang is difficult to come, and the Jin army has crossed the Yangtze River several times, burning, killing and looting in the vicinity of Jiankang Mansion, and the local people think of the lessons of the past, so there is still reason not to be frightened? Under the panic, all kinds of rumors naturally flew all over the sky.

In fact, the people who were most worried about the Jin army's southward movement this time were Zhang Jun, the left minister, and Chen Kangbo, the right minister.

At the beginning, the news of the Jin army's Linjiang reached Lin'an, and the capital was in chaos. Civil and military officials sent their families away one after another, and Zhao Gou also had to "float to the sea to avoid the enemy". Only when the families of Zhang Jun, Chen Kangbo and Huang Zhong remained in Lin'an and resolutely opposed the escape to the sea, Zhao Gou expressed his "pro-conquest" and continued to resist.

That is to say, Zhang Jun and Chen Kangbo were under great pressure to force Zhao Gou to "drive the expedition", stationed in Jiankang Mansion, and under the huge pressure of the imperial court and the local government, they gave the most powerful support to the soldiers in front, and even changed the inactive Wang Quan and others to the battle, and sent Ye Yiwen and Yu Yunwen to the front army to condole.

On the evening of November 8, a messenger covered in sand rushed into the capital, bringing the news that the Jin army had arrived at the quarry in the early morning of the same day, and also brought the news that Yu Yunwen, a member of the Zhongshu House, had reorganized the soldiers and horses, and had been helped by the real person who protected the country, and was ready to fight, Zhao Gou and several ministers were silent for a long time, and only sighed for a long time, Zhao Gou said: "Leave it to fate, pass the order, from tomorrow, the nine gates of Jiankang Mansion will be under martial law, and the army will be ready to defend the city!"

After two days of suffering, on the morning of November 10, Zhao Gou met with the main officials accompanying him, and everyone was silent in the hall of the government for a long time, and finally Zhao Gou asked: "Zhang Aiqing, Chen Aiqing, Jin Jun's soldiers are quarrying, and Yu Yunwen is the whole army to meet the battle, how is the battle going?

Zhang Jun first looked at the hundred officials and found that there was a faint ridicule in the eyes of countless officials, but he had no choice but to answer truthfully: "Back to the emperor, there is no war situation to report at present, as soon as there is news, the old minister will immediately report to the emperor." ”

Zhang Jun was the leader of the main battle faction, but many of the civil and military officials present were also from the main peace faction, and they vigorously wrote a letter, demanding that the emperor should not personally take risks, and should float to the sea to avoid the enemy, and even impeached Zhang Jun and Chen Kangbo for the idea of limiting the emperor to a dangerous place.

"No news, maybe good news. Zhao Gou sighed.

At this time, there was no regret in my heart.

I knew that Jin Guo was so untrustworthy, why was he in such a hurry to kill Yue Fei?

Keep Yue Fei, let the people of Jin Guo be jealous, and he will sit on the throne of the emperor steadily.

Thinking that most of his life was under the threat of the Jin people, Zhao Gou's mind turned around, and he sighed casually: "Zhang Aiqing, now that the Jiankang Mansion has been under martial law, then give me a decree to let the people and gentry in the Gyeonggi area take refuge in the city when necessary." ”

But Zhang Jun and Chen Kangbo frowned.

There is a natural danger of the Yangtze River, and at this time, the people are still allowed to enter the city, which is definitely a measure to cause panic.

So Zhang Jun and Chen Kangbo glanced at each other, and the former said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to be like this, our army has the Yangtze River and natural dangers, and Your Majesty testifies, the morale of our army has risen greatly, and we will definitely be able to resist the enemy in Jiangbei." ”

Zhang Xiang's words are wrong. Tang Siwei, the governor of the political affairs, stood up and said: "The Yangtze River is a natural danger, but the Yangtze River is thousands of miles long, and the Jin army has more than 100,000 troops. ”

"Lure it with profit, appease it with law?" Chen Kangbo snorted coldly and asked: "Tang Gong, do you want the emperor to surrender to the Jin people and appease the Jin people with the heads of a few of us?"

The last time he was beheaded to appease the Jin people, it was Yue Fei.

However, after Yue Fei died, the Shaoxing Peace Conference could not be implemented for 12 years, and the gold lord Wanyan Liang went south again, which shows that the enemy's appetite is simply difficult to fill.

Tang Siwei smiled faintly: "Xiaguan didn't mean that. ”

After he said this, he didn't say a word and retreated into the ranks of the ministers.

Zhao Gou glanced at it and knew it in his heart.

Although Tang Siwei stepped on Qin Hui's head to ascend to the throne, he still did not change his position as the minister of the Lord and the faction.

His statement was actually to tell Zhao Gou that if he balanced Zhang Jun and Chen Kangbo in the future, he would be willing to serve the dogs and horses.

Zhang Jun and Chen Kangbo glared at Tang Si fiercely, but they couldn't say a word.

Zhao Gou didn't speak, and only said after a while: "Aiqing's intentions, let's postpone the discussion, and wait until the details of the quarrying war are reported." ”

Tang Siwei was overjoyed, knowing that Zhao Gou had the heart of seeking peace again, so he hurriedly thanked Emperor Ming and said:

"Your Majesty, please forgive Weichen for saying bluntly, this quarrying war, I am afraid that it is already a lot of good luck, Yu Yunwen, a scholar in the middle school, is brave and loyal, dedicated to the country, and the minister is admired, but after all, he is a literati, he does not understand the military, and the real person who protects the country seals the boat through the arts, but he does not understand the military strategy, so the gold lord Wanyan Liang has been prepared since the southern expedition, of course, he is ready, I am afraid that Yu Yunwen has already been defeated and martyred, and the boat may have surrendered to the enemy. ”

"What?" As soon as these words came out, Zhao Gou's heart suddenly tightened, and he was almost out of breath.

"Feng Zhenren's magic is all over the sky, and I promised him to publish his Taoist mantra to the world, how could he betray me?"

"Your Majesty, the one who occupies the Central Plains today, Jin Ren'er. Jin Ren is powerful, Feng Zhou wants to publish his works in the world, only Jin people can do it, not to mention the three apprentices he accepted, two are from the north, and the other has also been in the north for a long time, so the minister has to worry. Please Your Majesty immediately issue an order to arrest and take Pang Yong, the apprentice and guard of Feng Zhou, in front of the palace of the infantry army, to be imprisoned in case of accidents. ”

Zhang Jun and Chen Kangbo turned their heads and glared at Tang Sihui.

That's shameless, isn't it?

You don't hesitate to toss people so much for the sake of being on top.

If someone is fighting in the front, you have to arrest someone's disciple and put him in prison, which is simply shameless.

But Zhao Gou was silent, and he felt quite reasonable in his heart.

Seeing that the time had come, the minister and the counselor Wang Zhiwang immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Tang Xianggong's words are reasonable, according to Weichen, the quarrying war must have been more auspicious, Your Majesty might as well take this opportunity to convict the boat of surrendering to the enemy and destroy its Danxiao Palace, so as to appease the hearts of the army and the people!"

At this point, the lord and faction have dominated the situation, and there are constantly ministers of the lord and faction coming out to accuse Feng Zhou of interfering in state affairs and limiting the emperor to injustice.

A guy who cultivates the Dao Law, but he goes too deep into the military affairs and affects the emperor's mind, this kind of demon must be eliminated, otherwise how can everyone negotiate with the Jin people?

In fact, Feng Zhou is just a small pawn in the counterattack of the Lord and the ministers.

Their goal, of course, is to get the ministers of the main battle faction led by Zhang Jun and Chen Kangbo, so as to let the main peace faction take the position.

It's just that the court fights, and it has always been a roundabout flank attack, and there is no head-to-head confrontation.

"Your Majesty, it's not enough to seal the boat and not kill it!" just when the Lord and the ministers were in unison.

Zhao Kui, the left attendant of the military department, suddenly held a watch high, stumbled into the hall of the palace with a red face, and shouted before he had time to salute: "Your Majesty, the Tang newspaper has arrived! The quarrying Tang newspaper has arrived! I just arrived in the capital!"

"How is it?, did the Jin people break through the Yangtze River?" Zhao Gou nervously stood up and asked.

In front of the eyes of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, Zhao Kui, whose face was flushed, first coughed, then knelt down on his knees, and shouted excitedly in the loudest voice: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor on his great victory! Great victory in quarrying! Yu Yunwen defeated the Jin army with 20,000 troops and 100,000 troops! Killed tens of thousands of enemies! Captured more than 10,000 enemies! Killed nine Jin generals and captured six alive. Feng Zhou, the real person who protects the country, and Xin Qiji, the deputy commander of the front division of the palace, captured the gold lord Wan Yan Liang alive, and seized the jade seal of the country! And our army suffered casualties, a total of less than 700 people!"

"What——?" In the hall of the palace, the eyes of the monarchs and ministers widened, and Zhao Gou shouted like crazy: "The 100,000 army of the Jin people was completely wiped out? Wan Yan Liang was captured alive? It is the heavens that help me, the heavens help me!"

The Wenchen generals present first shook in unison, and then bowed to Zhao Gou together: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!"

In this, the voices of Tang Siwei, Wang Zhiwang and others were both high-pitched and trembling.
