When I arrived outside the door, I saw that the forbidden army on duty at night was Lin Zhengying.

Ye Pei asked, "Marquis Lin Yu, can the official family be inside?" ”

Lin Zhengying saluted Ye Pei and said, "The ministers see the lord of Le'an." The official family is discussing politics inside at this time, you wait, I'll go in and talk about it. ”

Ye Pei waited outside the Qinzheng Hall for a while, and Lin Zhengying turned out again.

"Lord Le'an, the official family is still discussing state affairs with Fan Xiang at this time, saying that you should go back first, and talk about it tomorrow if you have something." Lin Zhengying said to Ye Pei Shili after he came back.

Ye Peiyi frowned, and said in his heart: "If I can wait until tomorrow, why should I rush into the palace at this time?" Then he said to Lin Zhengying: "Trouble Du Yuhou again, Le'an does have something important to meet, and he must not wait until after tomorrow's court meeting." ”

Lin Zhengying also knew that the matter was urgent, and Ye Pei must have come here for the Liao army's large-scale southward movement, and this matter was hotly discussed by hundreds of officials and officials in the DPRK and China every day recently.

Lin Zhengying saluted again and entered the palace gate again.

After a long time, Lin Zhengying came out and said, "Lord Le'an, the official family invites you in." ”

Ye Pei nodded, "Thank you, Marquis Duyu." Then he strode into the Qinzheng Palace.

At this time, the official Zhao Zhen was sitting upright on the dragon chair, and the prime minister Fan Zhongyan was standing below, and they were looking at a leather picture on the table.

Zhao Zhen saw Ye Pei come in, and put this picture on the scroll, and Fan Zhongyan also bowed to Ye Pei.

Ye Pei saluted Zhao Zhen and said, "Le'an has seen the official family. ”

Zhao Zhen said with a heavy face: "What is the matter of the Le'an County Lord trespassing in the forbidden middle school at this hour? ”

"Qiqi official's family, Le'an is here for the southern invasion of Liao." Ye Pei was afraid that Zhao Zhen would not allow her to say any more, so he said like a cannon: "Officials, you must not listen to the words of the villain and take refuge in the south, let alone discuss the matter of moving the capital lightly in the court......

"Enough!" Zhao Zhen stopped Ye Pei and said: "Every day, I discuss with hundreds of officials in the court, are you not as good as your little woman's foresight?" Fan Xianggong and I have decided to move the capital to Lin'an, take refuge in the south, preserve our strength, avoid a head-on confrontation with the Liao State, and hand over the New Year's coins in order to avoid war. ”

Fan Zhongyan covered his mouth after listening to Zhao Zhen's words, turned his back to the two and coughed lightly twice. Zhao Zhen looked at him, raised his head in displeasure, and looked straight at Ye Pei.

Ye Pei originally believed that Zhao Zhen was a smart and resolute person. She knew that the invasion of the Liao State to the south was extremely dangerous, and she had also heard that many ministers had proposed to move the capital to the south for refuge.

But she still believed that Zhao Zhen would definitely fight on the basis of reason and send the whole country to resist the Liao soldiers and keep the country. It's just that Ye Pei was worried that Zhao Zhen's ears were soft and he was disturbed by slander, so he didn't know how to deal with it, so he broke into the palace late at night to meet him.

But at this time, Zhao Zhen said this, which shocked Ye Pei's heart. She barely recognized it

Looking at Zhao Zhen as if she was the person in front of her, her heart seemed to be frozen, and the blood in her whole body seemed to be frozen, she clenched her hands tightly, and her fists were clenched white.

Ye Pei looked at Zhao Zhen for a while, and suddenly knelt down and bowed, tears flowing down the corners of his eyes.

"The official family, since Taizu created the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty, has been more than 60 years, through the three dynasties of Taizu, Taizong and the first emperor. Taizu destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty, conquered the Northern Han Dynasty, exterminated Hou Shu and Jingnan, and opened up territory for the Great Song Dynasty. Taizong raised troops to the Northern Expedition, not afraid of a strong enemy, and took the initiative to start a war with the Liao State. The first emperor seemed to be weak, but he also drove the expedition in person and went to the front line of Lanzhou to supervise the Song and Liao wars.

Now that the throne has passed into the hands of His Majesty, what kind of efforts His Majesty has made to govern himself, doesn't Your Majesty remember? Now that the political situation is basically stable, His Majesty only cares for his own safety, disregarding the integrity of the land and the lives and property of the people, and before the war with the Liao State, he lightly talks about moving the capital and taking refuge, resulting in the discouragement of the army and the instability of the people.

Your Majesty acts like this, how can you be worthy of the first emperor, how can you be worthy of the people and courtiers who support you? If it is true that the land is lost, how will Your Majesty have the face to meet the ancestors and ancestors in a hundred years in the future......"

Speaking of this, Ye Peifu was already crying on the ground, and Zhao Zhen and Fan Zhongyan were moved.

Zhao Zhen said slowly: "Moving the capital south is also to protect the Great Song Dynasty, if the Liao State captures Bianliang City, the monarch dies and the country is broken, and the Great Song Dynasty is not protected, I am a sinner through the ages, so I really have no shame to go to see the first emperor, to see Taizu and Taizong!" ”

Ye Pei said: "I have been a soldier in the Song Dynasty for many years, that is, the Northern Imperial Liao State, the Western Imperial Western Xia, and now the soldiers of the National Dynasty are rubbing their hands together, and their ambitions are high, it is when they are loyal to the country and perform bravely, Your Majesty must not listen to the words of the villain, easily show weakness, and talk about moving the capital in vain."

As long as our country and the DPRK vigorously raise troops to resist in the north and work together from top to bottom, although the Liao State is strong, it cannot easily invade the territory of our DPRK and bully our people. ”

"If according to what the lord of Le'an said, who in my court can be used as a general?"

Ye Pei saw that Zhao Zhen's tone was softening, and he knelt down straight and replied: "Han Qi, the privy envoy of the central government, can be the commander of the Chinese army, Di Qing, the deputy envoy of the privy council, can be the deputy general, and Cao Cong, the commander, can also be the vanguard. ”

Fan Zhongyan, who had been watching from the sidelines, continued: "Now that Western Xia has invaded the Song Dynasty, Di Qing, the privy deputy envoy, is ready to set off for Yanzhou to arrange defenses. The privy envoy Han Qi could not be dispatched lightly, and the commander Cao Cong was responsible for the royal guard, let alone easily dispatched. The Liao State sent troops to invade the south, and there were no generals available in the DPRK and China. ”

Ye Pei looked at Fan Zhongyan, then at Zhao Zhen, and said: "Although the minister is a woman, he is not afraid of danger, for the safety of the country and the people, the minister is willing to ask for orders to lead the troops north to resist the enemy!" ”

Zhao Zhen asked: "The march is difficult and hard, the battlefield is dangerous, the war is changing rapidly, in the war, you will be injured and disabled, and you may die at worst, as a daughter's family, you are really not afraid."

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Are you afraid of these hardships and dangers? ”

Ye Pei Zhengyan said: "Hua Mulan of the Northern Wei Dynasty joined the army for her father, fought against Rouran, and was named 'General Xiaolie'; Lu Mu, the female leader of the 'Red Eyebrow Army' in the Western Han Dynasty, killed corrupt officials, beheaded bullies, and was brave and invincible;

Even in this dynasty, the founding hero Yang Wuving's wife, Zheshi, is the wife of Zheng Guotai, who is also brave and good at fighting, helping Yang Ye to fight against the Liao State and shocking Yanmen Pass. They are all daughters, but they can kill the enemy in front of the battle, calm the chaos and stabilize the country, and they are worthy of heroines.

Ye Pei is not talented, he has learned martial arts in the mountains since he was a child, that is, he wants to fight for the country, seek benefits for the people, and calm the world. At this time, the country was in trouble, and Ye Pei was duty-bound. The so-called own danger and hard work, why be afraid? ”

Zhao Zhen clenched his fists and nodded: "My good Pei'er! ”

Fan Zhongyan took a deep look at Ye Pei and said: "The county lord of Le'an is for the country and the people, he is really a heroine and a heroine among women!" The dynasty has such a person as the county lord, which is really a blessing for the people and a blessing for the country! ”

Zhao Zhen said: "It's also my luck! ”

Ye Pei was confused by what the two of them said, and looked at the two of them with a frown.

Zhao Zhen smiled and said to Fan Zhongyan: "Look, I said that as soon as I found someone to reveal the news of Liao's southern invasion to the county lord of Le'an, she would definitely take the initiative to find me, right?" ”

Fan Zhongyan also smiled: "The official family is like a god, and it is also confident in the county lord's personality. ”

"In this way, I will not be afraid of those courtiers persuading me to move south tomorrow."

Ye Pei began to wonder, at this time he already understood that he had been deceived by Zhao Zhen's strategy, stood up, pouted and looked at Zhao Zhen unhappily.

Zhao Zhen said to Ye Pei: "Pei'er, take a look, what picture did I look at with Fan Xianggong just now?" ”

Ye Pei slowly walked to Zhao Zhen's side, and Zhao Zhen opened the leather map on the table, which turned out to be the defense map of the Song-Liao border.

In an instant, the fear and grievances in Ye Pei's heart turned into tears and burst out of his eyes.

Zhao Zhen pulled Ye Pei into his arms and said softly: "Pei'er has no confidence in me so much? Think I'm going to abandon the city and flee, regardless of the safety of the country and the people? ”

"Sixth Brother ......" I don't know whether to be ashamed, repentant or relieved, Ye Pei cried like a child in Zhao Zhen's arms.

"Look where you look like a female general." Zhao Zhen pinched Ye Pei's nose and said with a smile, and took out the handkerchief he used to wipe Ye Pei's tears.

Ye Pei suppressed his tears and squeezed out a smile. She looked at Fan Zhongyan, stood up embarrassedly, and arched her hand at Zhao Zhen: "It's the minister who has lost his manners." ”

Zhao Zhen said to Fan Zhongyan: "Let Fan Xianggong laugh." ”

Fan Zhongyan smiled but did not speak.

After that, the three of them discussed the matter of tomorrow's court meeting, until the stalk drum of the early dynasty sounded.
