, the minister's troops are weak, one is not the opponent of the Liao, and the other is that the route of the Liao people this time is not known, if the guards of the three towns of Heshuo are mobilized without authorization. In case the Liao people attack the west, aren't we in the middle of a plan? Moreover, the three towns of Heshuo are the gateway to the northeast line, and once there is a difference, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

King Wei's age and the identity of the emperor's relatives are there, and Fan Zhen is not reluctant, so he has to look at Zhao Kuangyin and say, "Then I can only bother Lord Zhao." "In terms of leading troops to fight, Zhao Kuangyin's ability is far above that of King Wei, and his prestige has been greatly shocked from the capture of the Southern Tang Dynasty in one breath and the prestige of Zhao Kuangyin in the early stage of the Northern Expedition. It's just that Zhao Kuangyin has moved too much since the death of the first emperor Chai Rong, and Fan Zhen is really not at ease.

Zhao Kuangyin smiled faintly: "The minister must do his best." Zhao Kuangyin's troops are also stationed in different places, and what Zhao Kuangyin lacks is the reason for transferring troops. If there is no war, it is undoubtedly a harbinger of forcing the palace to rebel, and now is the perfect opportunity. You can transfer all your troops outside Kaifeng.

Fu Yanqing saw that Zhao Kuangyin agreed so smoothly, and was a little uneasy, so she added: "Lord Zhao first, I will also set off in three days to help Lord Zhao." Fu Yanqing didn't want to lead the troops himself, but he was also afraid that Zhao Kuangyin would mobilize so many troops to make trouble.

Zhao Kuangyin turned around and looked at Fu Yanqing very sincerely, with an enthusiastic expression: "That's great." "For a moment. The treacherous and cunning Fu Yanqing almost doubted his judgment. On the long table blood.

Two days later, Zhao Kuangyin's army has been all gathered, early in the morning of the third day of the first lunar month, Zhao Kuangyin took Zhao Pu and others, led the troops to the northeast of Kaifeng City Chenqiaoyi hurried.

In the evening, Zhao Kuangyin arrived at Chenqiao. and Zhao Kuangyi, who had been waiting there for a long time. Zhao Kuangyi has already prepared wine and food. Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu had dinner with Zhao Kuangyi in the inner room. Zhao Kuangyin also ordered to add some wine and food to the soldiers who had worked hard for a day.

In the inner room, the three of them ate and drank until half the night, Zhao Kuangyi looked at Zhao Kuangyin and said thoughtfully: "It is rumored that the Liao people and the Northern Han Dynasty invaded my Northern Zhou Dynasty together, but they don't know the route, and they don't know the troops, this time they attacked." It's very strange. ”

Zhao Kuangyin laughed twice and said, "I know." But if you don't use this excuse, how can you transfer troops? Zhao Kuangyi's face changed, although he had already guessed that it should be a rumor that Zhao Kuangyin deliberately released, but now he was taken aback when he heard Zhao Kuangyin admit it himself. It is a capital offense to lie about military intelligence and rumors to bring disaster to the country.

Zhao Pu dipped his chopsticks in the wine, wrote the word "Tian" on the table, and quickly wiped it off. Zhao Kuangyi's heart suddenly sudden, and it seemed that the plan was to be implemented immediately. Zhao Kuangyi looked at Zhao Kuangyin and said in a deep voice: "Second brother, if the matter fails, but it is a big crime of the Nine Clans, you have thought about it." ”

Zhao Kuangyin patted Zhao Kuangyi's shoulder: "Kuangyi, I've thought about all the results." But I have to fight with my back. Now the emperor in the court is too small to hold down the formation, and the queen mother is weak and unassertive, how many people are eyeing us, if we don't act, one day others will act, we will only be destroyed. ”

Zhao Kuangyi shook his head and said, "Not necessarily." The military power is in our hands, and we will never be controlled by others. Why take the risk? ”

Zhao Kuangyin sighed and said: "We have military power, and others also have it, and we are only afraid that we will turn against others if we raise and strengthen our troops over time." Kuang Yi, you remember, only when power is in your own hands can you be free and qualified to do what you want, otherwise you can't even protect your family, what else can you talk about? ”

Zhao Kuangyi's heart froze, and he looked at Zhao Kuangyin's expression as sharp as a knife: "What did you say?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin took a long breath, and Zhao Pu spoke: "Major General, the emperor has issued an order to send Miss Ye back to the Southern Tang Dynasty. ”

Zhao Pu's words smashed Zhao Kuangyi's heart, Zhao Kuangyi's mind was empty for a long time, and he clamped Zhao Pu's arm violently, almost crushing the bones, gritting his teeth and saying, "Why is he?" ”

Zhao Pu said in a deep voice: "That Miss Ye wrote a letter to the envoy of the Southern Tang Dynasty and begged the envoy to take her back to the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the envoy gave the letter to Honglu Temple, and Honglu Temple asked the emperor to show him, and the emperor sent Ye back by decree. ”

Zhao Kuangyi said in disbelief: "Your Majesty is just a child, how can he make an idea for such a thing?" ”

Zhao Pu said: "Your Majesty is a child, but the Queen Mother and the King of Wei are not children, naturally both the King of Wei and the Queen Mother want the Ye family to go back, so that Miss Fu can stay in peace in the Major General's Mansion." ”

Zhao Kuangyin also echoed: "Xuechan is still grounded and fasted by you, King Wei knows it, do you think he can sit idly by?" Speaking of which, my Zhao family has no power and power, and the King of Wei is a relative of the emperor, so naturally everything must go according to his wishes, in his opinion, you can marry his daughter is already burning high incense. If he makes such a play with the Ye family again, he still doesn't seize the opportunity to bully others? ”

Zhao Kuangyi let go of Zhao Pu, clenched his fists tightly, his whole body trembled slightly, she left? Back to Nantang? Zhao Kuangyi's heart was so angina that he could barely breathe. Why? That's his woman, why did they send her away? Zhao Kuangyi's eyes were a little ruthless: "Who took the order?" After saying that, suddenly the cup on the table was thrown out, and he roared, "Who is allowed to accept the order?" The cup shattered on the ground, splashing fine pieces of porcelain.

Zhao Kuangyin was stunned for a moment, and Zhao Pu hurriedly said: "Major General, the emperor's decree, who dares not to accept it." Directly passed the decree to the adult's house, can you not accept it? This is not only an insult to the major general, but also an insult to the entire Zhao family, the Ye family has become the family of the major general, but he was sent back by the emperor's order, and he was also slapping Lord Kuang Yin in the face. ”

Zhao Kuangyin said: "So I said that only when the power is in your own hands can you be qualified to do what you want." If the surname is Zhao in this world, don't say that we don't send the Ye family back, even if we send Li Jing to seal the letter now, can he send people back obediently? ”

Zhao Kuangyi looked at Zhao Kuangyin, and suddenly sneered: "Will you agree to take Taoyi back?" ”

Before Zhao Kuangyin could think of how to answer, Zhao Pu had already preemptively said: "Major General, who do you like, who are you willing to favor, how can an adult interfere?" Even if there were some complaints about the Ye family before, it was just because of King Wei and Miss Fu, the adults didn't want to offend King Wei, if there were no more checks and balances, who the major general was willing to favor was of course the freedom of the major general. ”

Zhao Kuangyin also nodded and said: "How can the King of Wei be offended, before you fasted Miss Fu, the King of Wei has privately transferred an army to garrison His Majesty and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes." If it weren't for the fear of King Wei's trouble, how would I care about your affairs? Don't say it's to take the Ye family back, you just divorce Fu Xuechan and make the Ye family his wife, and I won't care about you. ”

Zhao Kuangyi's heart hurts, just for this dragon-breaking chair, just for the power of the Ninety-Five Supreme to overlook the world, he has to sacrifice the person he loves? Is it only by holding this power that you are really qualified to do what you want to do and keep the people you want to keep? Zhao Kuangyi's head buzzed, turned around and walked out. He's going to breathe.

The weather outside was very cold, the wind was not strong, but it was so cold that it hurt at all, and the soldiers were drinking in groups of three and five, Zhao Kuangyi's mind was blank, and his heart was also blank, just clenching his fists.

After a long time, the soldiers outside were already drunk, and while the wine was happy, the noisy voice came into Zhao Kuangyi's ears, "We are now born and die to protect the world, but the little emperor is in the palace, how do you know our hard work?" The little emperor is still breastfeeding, right? It's not the King of Wei and the Queen Mother's father and daughter who have the final say. To fight the Liao State, why was the King of Wei reluctant to send his troops? People's soldiers are made of gold, and we are reluctant to fight and bump into it, and we are the cheap life, trampled to death by the Liao people. Except for Lord Zhao, no one knows that we are working hard. The little emperor is a milk doll and doesn't understand anything, so why is he sitting on the dragon chair? That is, to fight the Southern Tang Dynasty and fight the Hou Shu, it was Lord Zhao who came out, and Lord Zhao should sit on the dragon chair. ”

Zhao Kuangyi's heart thumped, yes, it is best to hold power in your own hands. Zhao Kuangyi turned around and went back to the inner room, and Zhao Pu, who was guarding the door, looked at Zhao Kuangyi with a gloomy face and smiled: "The major general has thought about it?" ”

Zhao Kuangyi nodded. Zhao Pu immediately took out a dragon robe from the box on the side and walked out, Zhao Kuangyi followed closely, and in front of a group of soldiers, Zhao Kuangyi spoke: "Since you know that the emperor and the king of Wei don't take our lives as their lives, why don't you change your surname on this day?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin's soldiers are familiar with Zhao Kuangyi, and many people are even Zhao Kuangyi's subordinates before he was taken over by Chai Rong, so they are naturally deeply in awe of Zhao Kuangyi's words. In addition, Zhao Kuangyi has always been very bold in speaking, this power to incite the military, except for Zhao Kuangyi, no one else has this ability.

Under such circumstances, the soldiers only felt that the blood in their bodies was ignited by these words. Looking at the dragon robe in Zhao Pu's hand behind Zhao Kuangyi, a general with five big and three thick snatched the dragon robe and strode into the inner room where Zhao Kuangyin was, and the soldiers next to him also followed.

Zhao Kuangyin was on the couch in the inner room. Hearing the movement, he slowly got up, looking like he had just woken up, the soldier put the dragon robe on Zhao Kuangyin's body, knelt down and shouted: "Long live!" ”

Zhao Kuangyin looked frightened, and wanted to tear off the dragon robe: "What are you doing here?" ”

The leading soldier said loudly: "My lord, we have all followed you from birth to death for so many years, and now the little emperor does not distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and disregards the lives of adults and soldiers. It's better to take your place. ”

Zhao Kuangyin was too lazy to excuse himself, so he also took off the reserve just now, looked around and said: "I don't care about myself, I'm used to running for so many years." It's just that the soldiers who followed me were suffering. But once this thing has begun, you must have one heart, and you must obey my commands. ”
