Liu Chan's expression was retracted, and he suppressed the dissatisfaction of being awakened, and immediately said, "Announce quickly." ”

The person who came was none other than Zhao Ding, the left minister. Zhao Ding's expression was joyful, and as soon as he entered the study, he bowed to Liu Chan and said, "The minister has seen Your Majesty." ”

"No need to be polite, how is the situation at the front." Liu Chan was very anxious. Shunchang is a great victory, but what is the specific situation?

"Your Majesty, Yue Fei led the army to break through six cities in Henan, including Huaining, Yingchang, Chenzhou, Luoyang, Yuncheng, and Shunchang, killing more than 70,000 Jin troops, and winning the Northern Expedition!" Zhao Ding said excitedly, although he expected that the Northern Expedition might win, he never thought that there would be such a big victory.

Liu Chan snatched the battle report from Zhao Ding's hand and read it carefully. was also happy by the content of the battle report, and even Luoyang, the former capital of the Han Dynasty, was taken, it seems that he did not misunderstand Yue Fei, he is indeed a general who can fight.

"Passing the decree, Feng Yuefei is the envoy of Henan Xuanfu, the opening of the palace with the three divisions, and the general management of all important military and political affairs in Henan Mansion." Liu Chan said excitedly, not caring at all how much shock his reward brought to Zhao Ding.

"Your Majesty, although this time is a big victory, this reward is too heavy."

Liu Chan glanced at Zhao Ding and didn't want to speak. The Song Dynasty is already in a remote corner, and if you don't find a general who can fight, do you have to wait for death. But Liu Chan also patiently explained to Zhao Ding: "Although most of the cities in Henan have been recovered, they are still under the threat of the Jin State. In times of emergency, we should do extraordinary things, and the most important thing now is to protect the recovered city. If there is a problem, solve it later. ”

"Then I don't know if Yue Fei will be recalled to report on his work?"

Hearing this, Liu Chan was a little hesitant. Yue Fei He hasn't seen it yet, he doesn't know what he looks like, and he doesn't know what his temperament is, now it seems that he can only say that he has the ability, but is he loyal or not? After all, not everyone is Zhuge Kongming, and it is difficult for Liu Chan to do his best to trust a person.

"Summoning Yue Fei back, no." Liu Chan still shook his head and rejected Zhao Ding's proposal. "At present, there is turmoil in the north, and it is not appropriate to recall the commander of the Northern Expedition. Sent a decree to Yue Fei and allowed him to send a deputy general to report on his work. In addition, inform Han Shizhong again and tell him that he can temporarily stop fighting. Hurry up and come back to me, don't fight. What is the chaos in the court, Zhao Xiang, I have some doubts about your ability. ”

Liu Chan is very dissatisfied with Zhao Ding, as a leftist minister, you can't suppress your colleagues, so how can you be the head of civil officials. And Zhao Ding smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking: If it weren't for Your Majesty, you heard the news of the victory of the Northern Expedition, I'm afraid there would still be ambiguity in this attitude. But that's fine, depending on Your Majesty's attitude, as long as the Northern Expedition can be won, Your Majesty will clearly support the Northern Expedition. There's no need for them to guess, just guarantee the result.

This seems to be an easy thing, but it is something that the entire Song Dynasty and court dare not think of. In the official history, Yue Fei also won the Northern Expedition a few years later, but Zhao Gou didn't care about any of it. After the victory of the Northern Expedition, he ordered Yue Fei to give up the recovered city. Zhao Gou really lowered the emperor's bottom line!

"Yue Fei wrote in the battle report that his current strength is insufficient, you go back and discuss with others, and come up with a plan tomorrow morning."

Liu Chan sat back on the chair, signaled that Zhao Ding could retire, and then carefully looked at the battle report. Looking at it, he realized that something was wrong. Yue Fei's battle report mentioned the merits of the rebel army of another army, which seemed to be able to fight some, but the discipline was too poor and he did not obey discipline very much. As soon as he entered the city, he went straight to the warehouse, and Yue Fei really didn't know what the situation was.

Liu Chan thoughtfully, took the Hou Han book on the table, and carefully flipped through it again. He gradually figured out a little bit about the current situation above the court, which was much more complicated than the struggle for power between relatives and eunuchs in the Han Dynasty.

First of all, the original Zhao Gou is extremely insecure, capable but never does personnel. has the experience of the main battle, and was he once the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, but his attitude is more about peace. Its own proposition can change every three days, and if a war starts today, it may want to negotiate peace tomorrow. Lack of prestige internally, and insufficient prestige externally. And he also had the experience of being held hostage by his own generals, which can be described as embarrassing.

Besides, Qin Hui Wang Lun's faction, the firm lord and the faction, and the power is deeply rooted in the court, I don't know who has ever had a relationship. The students all over the south, the people are deeply affected by it. Even if Liu Chan clearly supported the Northern Expedition, he also needed to bear the pressure of self-negotiation and peace. This group of people is first-class in engaging in power schemes, and it is okay to engage in internal affairs, but when it comes to diplomacy and warfare, it is simply a waste of waste. Wang Lun's diplomacy was okay, and he claimed back Henan and other places in the official history, but the price was that Zhao Gou was a vassal to the gold lord. Zhao Gou actually agreed, feeling even more embarrassed.

As for Zhao Ding, he is not a firm lord and faction. It's more like after Bianliang was breached, these scholars were not convinced, thinking that it was just a sudden death, and wanted to regain their strength and fight again.

As for the generals such as Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, they are the staunch main battle faction. The destruction of Bianliang made the people and the army feel the fear of destroying the country and the clan, and this fear was easily known by these generals who led the troops. Therefore, they all understood that no matter what, they must push back the Jin Kingdom and recover the north.

Finally, there is Liu Chan, in his opinion, the entire Song Dynasty is a joke. A country that has abandoned the idea of great unification does not deserve to be called a country at all, so although he occasionally compromises, he is a more determined fighter than anyone else when it comes to national territory.

Now, because Liu Chan supports the main battle and the peace forces lack top bosses, they want to welcome back the Queen Mother to fight Liu Chan in the ring. If Liu Chan is against it, it is unfilial, which means that the throne is unstable. If the Queen Mother is welcomed, the Queen Mother will inevitably divide power, and the Queen Mother is a firm lord and force!

If Liu Chan continues to support the main battle, they can also join forces with the Queen Mother to exert pressure on Liu Chan!

Liu Chan rubbed his forehead, what is this called. The situation in the world is already like this, and there is still internal fighting, so we can't unite. But he finally figured out one thing, his eyes were cold, and he called his personal eunuch. whispered a few times in his ear, and the eunuch's eyes suddenly widened, obviously startled by Liu Chan's words, and his body trembled a little.

"In this matter, you find a few trustworthy people, and I will summon Ning Cairen to the lake to enjoy the flowers in a while, so you have to be faster, understand?"

"I understand."

Liu Chan sighed, feeling a little pity in his heart. He picked up the Book of the Later Han Dynasty and read it for about half an hour, wanting to see if there was anything he could do to deal with the current situation.

He stretched, looked at the sky, and ordered, "Chuan Ningcai people come to the back garden and enjoy the flowers with me." ”

Ning Cairen, who got the news, came happily, she thought that the emperor was happy, and wanted to agree to her previous request and arrange some errand for his brother.

When she walked to the lake in the back garden, she saw that Liu Chan had already led people to stand in the gazebo in the distance. The emperor was actually waiting for her, Ning Cairen suddenly felt a burst of sweetness, and was about to go straight to the pavilion from another way, when he suddenly felt that someone behind him pushed him, and suddenly fell into the lake.

Her eyes widened in horror and she cried out for help, but no one came. This is not right, how can there be no one, and Your Majesty, Your Majesty should have seen himself.

Liu Chan in the distance did see it, but he ignored it. The eunuch next to him was enthusiastic, and hurriedly said: "Quick, Ning Cairen has fallen into the water, hurry up and save it." ”

Liu Chan snorted coldly and said, "No one is allowed to go." Spread the decree, when Ning Cai people enjoyed the flowers, they fell into the water and were buried thickly. ”

I don't know if Ning Cairen heard Liu Chan's words, or gave up hope, and finally stopped struggling and sank into the water.

When the eunuchs rushed over to salvage Ning Cairen, Liu Chan shed a tear: "Qing Ben is a beautiful woman, why be a thief." ”
