The ninth day of August in the eighth year of Shaoxing

The sky is dark, breezy and cool, and it is suitable for sacrifice and conquest.

For many high-ranking officials of the Song Dynasty, it was only a few days since Yue Fei recovered Shunchang, but it felt as if they had been discussing it for several years. After many days of political strife and strife, yesterday, the basic political framework for the future period of time in the north of the Song Dynasty was finally determined, and the appointment and transfer of many students and officials without official titles, as well as the clarification of the responsibility for the northern defense line and the resistance to the Jin people, were finally determined yesterday.

But it was also yesterday that the officials in the court learned the news that His Majesty was going to raise 100,000 troops to crusade against the Jin Kingdom again. These ministers of the Song Dynasty were about to flip the table when they heard the news, and they finally had to settle down, what happened again.

The early dynasty of the Song Dynasty began at the fifth watch, but the officials often had to go out on the third watch day and go to the palace. Since Liu Chan crossed, the early dynasties of the Song Dynasty have become somewhat frequent, sometimes five days, sometimes seven days. This can be described as a bitter complaint for those officials who live very regular lives, but today, not many people have such emotions.

Because everybody understands what's going on, a hundred thousand troops, everybody understands how big this time really is.

When the fifth watch arrived, the palace door opened, accompanied by the sound of the court, and the officials stepped into the Zichen Hall in an orderly manner. When everyone stood in their respective positions, the expected arrival of His Majesty did not sound. The court was silent, and everyone looked at each other, at a loss.

What's even more different is that next to the throne in the center of the palace, there is no eunuch who is responsible for delivering news for the emperor. This shows that the emperor at this time is not waiting in the apse, or directly says that Liu Chan has not yet come.

"That's how it is!" The officials were a little angry in their hearts, since the founding of the Song Dynasty a hundred years ago, there had never been an emperor who had been so contemptuous of his courtiers. It is not a joke for the emperor to share the world with the scholars, if you dare to despise the other class, the other class will inevitably oppose you. The reason why the Song Dynasty did not have military generals to successfully rebel was that scholars accounted for a large part of the factor. Now that Liu Chan despises the scholar so much, many ministers have begun to brew in their hearts that when Liu Chan comes, they must make Liu Chan look good.

Qin Hui felt that there was nothing, because he was already a villain. The villain doesn't care about anything, except for his own interests, of course. Of course, in addition to acting a little angry, he smelled a different smell. In his opinion, although Liu Chan often does not go to court, whether it is government affairs or military affairs, does Liu Chan do anything badly? It can be seen that Liu Chan is not a faint gentleman, and there is no reason to do anything to tease the courtiers.

But now that Liu Chan is doing it so openly, there must be a certain amount of reliance in this. For a master like Qin Hui who is not firm, this is a warning sign of danger, this is the rhythm of standing in line. Looking at the angry looks of these ministers next to him, Qin Hui tried his best to shrink his body to make himself look less conspicuous. Qin Hui understood that a storm was coming, and whoever could clearly see the situation in the next struggle would be the final winner.

This is also the reason why after so many changes, Qin Hui can still gain a firm foothold in the court.

Han Shizhong behind Zhao Ding felt that it was nothing, after all, in this current context, he only needed an emperor who supported the main battle, and as for contempt or anything, he really didn't feel it. There is still Jin Guo eyeing the emperor outside, why keep staring at the emperor. What's more, he is worried now that His Majesty is not joking, but will really personally lead an army of 100,000 to the Northern Expedition, which will be dangerous.

The last is Zhao Ding, as the left minister, he is already angry. Yesterday, I was scolded by Liu Chan in front of the palace gate for some reason, and was ridiculed by the ministers of the court. He Zhao Ding can be said to be the head of civil officials, Liu Chan's current attitude is not to despise hundreds of officials, isn't it aimed at him.

Of course, Liu Chan was indeed late, but not on purpose, but for something. Because he was still changing clothes, he was waiting for the noble concubine Wu. Liu Chan is not very used to it, in the Han Dynasty, the status of the harem concubines was very high, and they waited for the emperor to change their clothes or something, except for fun, they would not do this in general.

"You're a concubine, you don't have to be like this."

"Where Your Majesty says, the concubine is Your Majesty's person, and she should do her best for Your Majesty."

Liu Chan didn't say anything anymore, and he didn't have any intention of having fun at this time. The queen is humiliated in the enemy country, and she will not have the heart to have fun if she is a person. No matter how unbearable he is, Liu Chan is also a normal person.

When Wu finished dressing all the clothes for Liu Chan, under the sun, Liu Chan's body actually flashed with a cold light.

"The concubine is the empress and thank Your Majesty." Wu slowly knelt down and bowed, while Liu Chan had already walked out of the door. Wu's eyes contained tears, and she knew that today was definitely the most different day in the Song Dynasty in a hundred years.

Liu Chan walked out of the room, and Zhao Hao, the personal eunuch, came over and said, "Your Majesty, the people from the Imperial City Division ask to see you." ”

"Huh?" Liu Chan looked at Zhao Hao indifferently, and a faint coldness suddenly rushed straight to Zhao Hao.

"Your Majesty forgives the sin, the people of the Imperial City Division said that 100,000 people were in a hurry, and the ministers did not dare to slack off, so they came to report at this time." Zhao Hao hurriedly knelt down and said, since yesterday, he felt that something was wrong with Liu Chan, a little like a premonition before the earthquake.

"Xuan."

Li Hui came in and bowed down to Liu Chan: "Weichen knocks to see Your Majesty." ”

"Get up, what's going on, you have to let me know now."

Li Hui took out a cylinder from his arms: "The stakes are very high, this is the secret fold of the Jin State intercepted by the minister in Pingjiang Mansion." Li Hui didn't say much, because the news in the secret fold really couldn't be spoken.

Liu Chan opened the cylinder, opened the sealed fold, looked at the information on it, and his expression did not change: "Good job, this matter is up to you, and it must not be passed on." ”

"Yes." Although Li Hui was a little surprised by Liu Chan's composure, he didn't dare to say anything.

Today, the weather is cold, humid, fearful of rain, getting dark, or thunder and lightning.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

When Baiguan heard the voice, he hurriedly stopped talking. According to the etiquette, he knelt down and said: "The minister knocks to see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live."

"Boom, boom, kick." The sound of footsteps gradually echoed in the hall from far and near. The sound of the footsteps didn't seem to be the same as before, it was like the sound of the army when the army was sent out during the battle.

Looking ahead, I saw that there was no one behind the throne. Listening carefully, I found that the sound came from the gate of the palace. The afterglow was sprinkled, and I saw that the person who came was not wearing the emperor's heavy shoes, but the soldier's black leather boots. The sound I had just heard was clearly the sound of black leather boots hitting the floor, and there seemed to be the sound of armor shaking on my body.

As a military general, Han Shizhong was very familiar with this voice, and he didn't think of it at first, after all, who would dare to make such a loud noise in the court. But the moment he saw the shoes, his pupils dilated, and he suddenly had an idea that he couldn't even think of.

"Secretaries, please."

When the hundred officials stood up, they found that Liu Chan was actually wearing a silver-white armor, a golden beast face belt around his waist, and a two-foot-one-inch black iron sword, with a golden dragon carving attached to the hilt, which was a majestic picture.

Liu Chan sat on the throne and looked coldly at the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs. The cold eyes pierced into the hearts of hundreds of officials like a sharp sword, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

Not only can't he return to his senses, but the brains of the hundreds of officials are about to die directly, and their minds are full of blanks. In the 100 years since the founding of the Song Dynasty, there has never been an emperor wearing armor and sitting on the throne. Even if the generals rebelled, they didn't see such a picture. What's more, even the Tang Dynasty, which was full of martial virtues, had never seen such a vision. What's going on, what's going on here. For a while, the entire court was a little silent, and I didn't know where to start.

Wang Lun wanted to stand up and say something, but what could he say? Questioning the emperor's clothes, he didn't have the courage to do so. But the prime ministers who stood at the front did not speak, so should they be so silent?

"Why are you so silent today, is it okay?" Liu Chan's cold words made the entire palace even more deserted and silent.

Wang Lun gritted his teeth and stood up: "Minister, may I ask why Your Majesty ignored the etiquette of the court and went to the court in armor." Wang Lun's brains were numb, but he still couldn't help but say it.

The prime ministers at the front were relieved, and it was always a good thing to have a stunned young man. Let's take a look at the situation first, these people who are mixed with the prime minister are not vegetarians. As for Qin Hui, his eyes were closed, and he quietly shrank back to make himself more transparent, and he made up his mind in his heart that he would never hand over any important things to Wang Lun in the future. Liu Chan is not a faint gentleman, there must be a reason why he is dressed like this, what are you a foreign minister going to do in front of him.

This is not to blame Wang Lun for saying bluntly, it is true that since the Song Dynasty started the war with the Jin State, he, as a diplomat, has been in a useless and embarrassing situation.

Liu Chan was expressionless, and said coldly: "Court etiquette, I didn't expect that my Song Dynasty actually had court etiquette, I don't know if the queen is safe." ”

"Queen?" Liu Chan's words made the hundred officials a little unable to react, could it be that he wanted to establish the Wu family as the queen, but for what reason, and it would not be like this.

Could it be the one from the Jin Kingdom, it looks a bit like this. Liu Chan said this, Wang Lun couldn't answer, or the lord and the faction couldn't answer. Of course, the main battle faction couldn't answer, so the officials had nothing to say.

But all the ministers complained psychologically: You have never asked about the queen before, it seems that you still took the initiative to not know, so the ministers did not mention it, and now you bring it up again, what does it mean! You're the emperor, you can't think of one out of the other.

"Since the Jin Kingdom captured Bianliang, the royal family has been humiliated and the people have suffered. Since I succeeded to the throne, I have never forgotten the shame of Bianliang. After speaking, Liu Chan stood up and pulled out the sword in his hand. The sound of the sword unsheathed resounded in the silent palace, and immediately after, under the frightened gaze of the hundred officials, Liu Chan directly held the sword body with his left hand, and slashed violently, and the shiny sword body was suddenly soaked in blood.
