"Be careful, put it down slowly!"

In front of Cuiyun Tower, the housekeeper shouted loudly, dozens of professional handlers pulled the long rope on all sides, Cuiyun Peak was slowly put down, and more than 30 people lifted it from below, lifting Cuiyun Peak weighing thousands of catties to the shore and carefully placing it on the grass.

They immediately wrapped it in straw, and the inner and outer three layers thickly wrapped Cuiyun Peak.

It has been the last two days of the Fanning Mansion move, and Fanning, the first stone in the capital, finally decided to move to Beidao.

In the past ten days, there have been more than 500 light box cages, and everyone is tired and exhausted, not only that, but the dismissal of domestic servants is also a big thing, more than 70 domestic servants have followed the Fan family for many years, and now they want to separate, everyone is reluctant to give up.

Zhu Pei also gave the servants a very heavy parting gift, if they were willing to follow to the North Island, they would give each person five hundred taels of silver to settle in, and if they were unwilling to go, they would be given three hundred taels of silver to fend for themselves.

Despite their reluctance, most people are reluctant to go to the North Island, mainly because they can't let go of the prosperous Da Song Dynasty.

In the end, only about two dozen maids were willing to follow Fanning's family to the sea, and ten female guards were willing to go with them.

In the Cai River behind Fanning Mansion, five passenger ships and more than two dozen thousand-stone cargo ships were moored.

In the night, Fan Ning and his family reluctantly glanced back at their home, and Fan Linger asked in a low voice, "Daddy, won't we come back in the future?" ”

Fanning smiled and touched her head, "Not necessarily, you're tired of staying in the North Island, of course you can come back by boat to play, this is still our home." ”

Zhu Pei hugged her daughter and smiled: "Your father is right, this is still our home, and we will come back if we have the chance." ”

Fanning's mother, Zhang Sanniang, was the first to get on the boat, and she was so anxious to see her daughter that she flew to Beidao.

Fanning finally got on the boat, and he arched his hand to the chief butler, "The mansion will be entrusted to the old butler to take care of!" ”

"Sir, don't worry! I will definitely take good care of the mansion and will never let it go to waste. ”

Fanning waved to a group of servants and boarded the passenger ship, which rowed out of the city in a long line, and faded into the night.

........

Early the next morning, Wang Anshi hurriedly walked into the imperial study, bowed down and said to Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty, Weiwei just got the news that Master Fan left Beijing and went south last night. ”

Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment, he slowly put down the pen, and walked to the window with his hand, at this time there was an indescribable loss in his heart, did Fanning leave like this?

Wang Anshi understood Zhao Ji's mentality of gains and losses, he comforted Zhao Ji and said: "Your Majesty, Fan Ning has not completely resigned, he is still a first-class minister of the imperial court, according to the imperial court system, he can take a year off, but he must come back to cancel the leave, so Fan Ning is just the same as two years ago, go to Beidao to inspect it, and then he will come back, Your Majesty can rest assured!" ”

Zhao Ji sighed and said: "But this time he even took his family away, it can be said that he has no worries at all in the Great Song Dynasty, if he refuses to come back, we have no choice." ”

Wang Anshi thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, Fan Ning and his family left last night, if you send someone to catch up, you can catch up, if Your Majesty wants to keep him, Weichen is willing to personally run for Your Majesty." ”

Zhao Ji was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Forget it, since I promised him, why should I go back, maybe I will let him sit in the Southern Continent for the Great Song Dynasty, it may not be a bad thing, let him go!" ”

Wang Anshi said again: "Your Majesty, since Master Fan has left, then please ask Your Majesty to appoint the commander of the Northern Expedition as soon as possible, actively prepare for the war, and prepare to launch a campaign against Liaoyang Mansion." ”

At this time, there was a eunuch at the door to report: "Your Majesty, the rich minister asks to see!" ”

"Announce his audience!"

After a short time, Fu Bi walked quickly into the imperial study, bowed and said, "See Your Majesty!" ”

"Is there something urgent about the rich minister?"

Fu Bi took out a letter and presented it to Zhao Ji and said: "This is a letter left by Master Fan to Your Majesty, and I will transfer it to Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Ji was in good spirits, and hurriedly took the letter and opened it, only to see that the front of the letter said 'Five Precautions for Breaking Liao', and Zhao Ji read it carefully.

The letter is written in detail, the first note is to strictly defend Jinzhou, Jinzhou is the throat of Liaoyang Prefecture in the north, and its strategic position is very important, and there must be no loss.

The second is that the navy is only an auxiliary, not the main force, and it is not allowed to use the navy as the main force and reverse the priorities.

Secondly, the Liao State cannot be underestimated, although the Liao State is declining, but there is still a surplus of courage, especially the Liaoyang Mansion is very important to the Liao State, they will definitely do their best to defend it, and the Song army must not be careless because of the recovery of Youyan.

The fourth point is to beware of the Liao State using strange troops to attack the rear of the Song army, and the major passes in Youzhou must be guarded with heavy troops.

The fifth point is not to believe too much in Yelu Yixin, this person is insatiable, despicable and shameless, he betrayed the Liao State for profit, and beware of him betraying the Great Song Dynasty for profit.

Zhao Ji handed the letter to Wang Anshi and sighed softly: "Master Fan's golden and jade words, we must not be negligent. ”

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhao Xuan issued a holy decree, appointing Han Jiang, the right man of Shangshu, as the marshal of the expedition to the north, with full responsibility for the conquest of the Liao State, and at the same time appointing Chong Ge and Cao Shi as the deputy marshals of the left and right, and allocated millions of dollars to actively prepare for war.

..........

Yelu Hongji was overjoyed after learning the news of Fanning's resignation, as if he saw a glimmer of life in despair, he was more confident, and immediately led 80,000 iron cavalry to Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo.

In the afternoon of that day, the army arrived ten miles away from Liaoyang Mansion and stationed a large camp on the spot.

Xiao Weixin, the privy envoy of the Southern Yuan, and Yelu Bai, the privy deputy envoy, rushed to the camp to meet Yelu Hongji, the son of heaven.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has important information to report to Your Majesty!" Xiao Wei believed.

"Say, what's the important information?"

"Having bought off the king's attendants, it is almost certain that Goryeo had no dealings with the Song dynasty."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Your Majesty, Weichen has been tracking down the fact that our fleet was surrounded and sunk by the Song army, we rescued two surviving soldiers who fell into the water, and from all aspects of analysis, the Song military first got accurate information such as the number of our ships and the time of going to sea."

"What the hell do you mean, you might as well say it!" Yelu Hongji stared at Xiao Weixin fiercely.

Xiao Weixin said in a deep voice: "Weichen believes that some of the important ministers of the Liao State secretly communicate with the Song Dynasty. ”

Yelu Hongji paced back and forth with his hands in his hands, Xiao Weixin's words hit his heart, he was not really stupid, he had long suspected that there were traitors around him, but who was this person, he didn't dare to jump to conclusions.

Yeluhongji waved his hand to make everyone stand back, and he asked in a low voice, "You should know what to expect!" Who is secretly communicating with Song? ”

"Wechen..... Don't dare to say. ”

"That's it, I'll forgive you!"

Xiao Weixin lowered his head for a moment, then suddenly looked at Yelu Hongji and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen suspects that it is Yelu Yixin!" ”

"Why?"

"Your Majesty, he made it possible to buy the old ship of the Great Song Dynasty, even if it is an old ship, but we bought hundreds of ships, and the Great Song Dynasty will know nothing? He said that the Great Song Dynasty was sold to Japan, but as far as I know, the Great Song Dynasty strictly restricted the export of large ships to Japan, and ships of more than 3,000 stone were not sold at all, which was clearly a trap, and the Song Dynasty sold hundreds of decaying old ships to us, causing our ships to be shattered as soon as they collided, and he suggested exchanging pig iron for old ships, so that our pig iron was exhausted, he suggested giving up Youzhou, and suggesting not to save Western Xia, these are all traitorous strategies. ”

Yelu Hongji took a few steps and said: "But these are your speculations, it can be said that he made a mistake in judgment, but it seems a bit arbitrary to accuse him of betraying the country." ”

Xiao Weixin bit his lip and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, Weichen has evidence!" ”

Yelu Hongji was stunned and asked urgently, "What is the evidence?" ”

"Your Majesty, Yelu Yixin has a Han fake son, called Wang Shan, this person is proficient in music and juju, Yelu Yixin used to trust him very much, and then gradually snubbed him, Wang Shan was resentful in his heart, and once drunk and told people that Yelu Yixin had a big island overseas, which was given to him by the Song Dynasty."

Yelu Hongji's eyes widened suddenly, "Is this true?" ”

Xiao Weixin knelt down and said: "The minister has secretly arrested this Wang Shan, and under the torture of the minister, he has confessed a lot of things. ”

Xiao Weixin took out a confession and presented it to Yelu Hongji, after reading the confession, Yelu Hongji's face became extremely pale, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I treat him well, he dares to betray me!" ”

Yelu Hongji shouted: "Someone! ”

Xiao Weixin hurriedly stopped, "Your Majesty, please wait!" ”

Yelu Hongji waved his hand again, asked several guards to retreat, and asked, "What else do you want to say?" ”

Xiao Weixin lowered his voice and said a few words, and Yelu Hongji nodded again and again, "Aiqing's plan is wonderful!" ”
