Yuerong traveled day and night, came to Tokyo City non-stop, found the Prime Minister's Mansion, made his intentions clear, and took out the marshal's edict. The guards by the door please come in, Yuerong entered the prime minister's mansion, and a family took Yuerong to Kou Zhun's study. When I entered the study, I didn't see Lord Kou, but I saw a big man in white, born mighty and extraordinary, wandering and waiting in the study. Yuerong recognized this person at a glance as Guan Canghai, who gambled on Tianmen and fought proudly in Jingshan Mountain in Hangzhou.

For a while, the moon was full of enthusiasm and passion. The scene of the three of them struggling to kill the enemy at the foot of Jinglan Mountain resurfaced in front of them. Yue Rong couldn't help but call out in surprise: "Brother Guan! ”

Guan Canghai also noticed the arrival of Yuerong early, and said happily: "Brother Xiao! ”

The two came together inadvertently, Guan Canghai patted Yuerong's shoulder with relief, and said, "Good brother, long time no see!" ”

Yue Rong also sighed: "Big brother, I haven't seen you for a long time!" Yuerong continued: "But the younger brother is still the same as the eldest brother today, and the demeanor is still the same, which is really comforting and thirsty." ”

Guan Canghai smiled appreciatively: "There have been many ups and downs in the rivers and lakes, and now Brother Xiao has been trained into a good man. ”

Yuerong said with a smile: "With the help of my friends in the rivers and lakes, the younger brother escaped the catastrophe of life and death, and he had the fate to see the eldest brother again." recalled that day with Jun and his party, so that the little brother relied on the blood of the boy, and the heart of serving the country to death was unswerving. ”

Yuerong said again: "It's not a secret, the little brother is here to meet Master Kou for the military situation ahead." ”

Guan Canghai said: "I have just returned from Lin'an, and the Tianmen Gambling Game Guoxingnan has already shown its fox tail, and King Chai is even more impatient." The Great War is on the verge of breaking out. ”

Yuerong sighed: "What's even more incredible, does the eldest brother know who the Khitan dart head who escorted the dart car at the foot of Jingshan Mountain that day?" ”

"Who?" Guan Canghai asked.

Yue Rong said: "This person is Xiao Tzulazi, the pioneer of the Liao State who attacked our army outside the city of Lanzhou. Yuerong said: "I didn't expect that if he left for a while, it would cause today's disaster." ”

Guan Canghai nodded and said, "Xiao Tart is lazy, come to the battlefield for a while!" ”

The two were reminiscing about the old days, and saw a tall man come to the study. Guan Canghai saw that he was busy paying homage, and the moon was also seen. The person who came was Kou Zhun, the prime minister of the dynasty.

Yuerong couldn't help but sigh secretly when she saw it: "If it weren't for Lord Kou, who would have such a bright and upright aura above the government and the opposition." "Although the moon is not the same as before

, but just by his heroic righteousness, the openness and uprightness of his eyes, he knew that the person who came was none other than Master Kou.

Kou Zhun smiled and asked the two to be exempt. Guan Changhai introduced Xiao Yuerong's intentions to Kou Zhun. Yue Rong personally handed over the letter from Marshal Yang to Lord Kou. Yuerong said: "The battle ahead is tight, please decide." ”

Kou Zhun was calm and calm, and said with a calm smile: "Only one day today, the old man has received five urgent letters from the border gate!" ”

Yue Rong said: "The matter is urgent, I don't know what the adults have to do?" ”

Kou Zhun smiled heartily, as if there was nothing to do, and said: "Why worry about the Liao soldiers, when I play the Ming Shengshang tomorrow, the army will march into Lanzhou, and the Liao army will be repelled just around the corner." Then Kou Zhun asked Guan Canghai again: "I don't know what happened in Lin'an?" ”

Guan Canghai said: "King Chai recognized the thief as his father, and bulldozed all obstacles for Yelu Xingnan in Hangzhou City, and he was trying to do wrong. ”

Kou Zhun nodded, and said confidently: "In the coming days, the internal and external troubles will be cleared together." So he ordered the servant to prepare wine and food, and wanted to drink with Guan Canghai and Yuerong.

Yuerong was anxious in her heart, but when she saw that Lord Kou wanted to feast on her, she thought to herself: "At the moment of the great enemy, Lord Kou has such a good luck, it is really impressive. With such an open-mindedness, I'm afraid I can't learn it if I want to. ”

It was already dark, and the moon was bright in the prime minister's house, and the servants were in good spirits and happy. In the study, the candlelight is gorgeous, and the wine and food are sumptuous and the Kou people talk and laugh freely, and when they rise, they even write a poem to help the wine.

Yue Rong sighed to herself: "Is this really the Great Song Prime Minister who is in internal and external troubles?" Is this really the Kou Xiangye who can save the Great Song from the crisis? Yuerong couldn't believe everything in front of her for a while. Although she firmly believes in Master Kou's personality, his heart is still a little drumming.

After the banquet was over, Kou Zhun said to Yuerong: "Today, I will invite Xiao Yishi to rest in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and after tomorrow's court meeting, the Prime Minister will come back with his own holy oracle." Yuerong then lived with Guan Canghai in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and talked about the future encounter, which was full of emotion.

In the early morning of the next day, the civil and military ministers gathered in the court. Brigadier General Kou told Zhenzong about the urgency of Lanzhou, and submitted yesterday's letter to Marshal Yang and the five folds. Zhenzong looked at the twists and turns one by one, and they all said that there was a crisis in Lanzhou, and they didn't feel that Long's face was gloomy. To the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs: "Today, the Empress Dowager Chengtian and the Liao Emperor drove a personal expedition to coerce the Great Song Dynasty rivers and mountains. What is the best way for Aiqing to retreat from the enemy? ”

When the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty heard Zhenzong's words, they panicked. Some officials proposed to negotiate peace with the Liao people in silver and two cloths. Teach the Liao people to retreat. Some officials proposed to move the capital to Jinling. Wang Qinruo, the governor of the government, proposed to lead the capital to Chengdu to avoid war.

Kou Zhun tried his best to oppose the public opinion and strongly advocated the battle. Said Zhenzong said: "Marshal Yang said clearly in the letter, if you don't fight, you will boost the arrogance of the Liao people, although the relocation of the capital will protect the tranquility of the time, but unfortunately once the Lanzhou is broken, our door is wide open, and the Liao soldiers can drive straight in. ”

Kou Zhun continued with righteous words: "What's more, Your Majesty has moved the capital, putting the safety of the people in danger, won't it make the people suffer and their lives miserable. ”

Kou Zhun looked at Wang Qinruo's ministers, and said: "If anyone dares to move the capital, there will be no forgiveness." Wang Qinruo's officials were silent when they heard this, but they held a grudge.

Zhenzong said: "According to Qing's words, how can you retreat from the enemy? ”

Kou Zhun said: "King Chai privately raised soldiers and horses, colluded with thieves, and committed chaos, so King Chai should first allocate 50,000 soldiers and horses to Tokyo to guard to weaken the threat to His Majesty." From now on, 150,000 horses from Tokyo will be sent to Lanzhou to help in the battle, so as to solve the urgent need and not delay Marshal Yang's life. ”

Prime Minister Bi Shi'an also said: "What Lord Kou said is extremely true, the situation is urgent, please send troops to meet the enemy as soon as possible." ”

Seeing that the two prime ministers were loyal to each other, Zhenzong agreed, and ordered the Privy Council to immediately transfer troops, and ordered the privy envoys to hurry up their schedules and lead troops to Lanzhou.

Kou Zhun saw that the distribution of the True Sect had been completed, and he was about to retreat from the court, so he admonished: "The good policy of retreating from the enemy has not yet been told to Your Majesty. "Zhenzong asked what the good policy was.

Kou Zhun said: "Please Your Majesty to drive the expedition in person, and you can repel the Liao thieves without a long battle." ”

Hearing this, Zhenzong was stunned. He was used to being comfortable in the palace temple, and it was his favorite to dance and write, and he had never seen a sword battle since he was a child. How can you gallop on the field like Taizu and win the world. Therefore, listening to Kou Zhun's words, if he wants to leave the dragon bed and phoenix couch at home, and go to the front to suffer from the battle, how can Zhenzong be willing?

However, Kou Zhun was upright in governing the affairs of his family and country, and he was a little tired of Kou Zhun when he was born, so he excused himself and said, "How can I get it?" ”

Kou Zhun said bluntly: "All the soldiers have forgotten to die outside, and they are longing for the power of long live encouragement. What's more, the Liao Holy Sect has come thousands of miles away, and people can entrust the body of the Ninety-Five, why can't my lord? ”

Zhenzong knew Kou Zhun's temperament, and how could he refute it after a righteous and straightforward speech. Therefore, Zhenzong wanted to avoid it for a while, and excused himself: "This matter-this matter should be thought about twice, and it will be discussed again in the future." Saying that, Zhenzong got up and wanted to leave.

Seeing that Zhenzong wanted to escape, Kou Zhun hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, slow down!" When he spoke, he was already in front of Zhenzong, and he persuaded the bitter mouth center: "Sheji is in danger at this time, how can Your Majesty shirk it." Please Your Majesty must agree to the construction of the old ministers, and the difficulties of Lanzhou will be solved in the near future. ”

Zhenzong said helplessly: "Kou Aiqing, I am built according to you!" ”

Kou Zhun said: "The safety of the world is all tied to this, I hope Your Majesty will prepare to set off quickly, and there will be no delay." ”

Zhenzong felt that Kou Zhun was forcing his own house everywhere, which made him breathless, so he wanted to get rid of his entanglement at the moment first. So he replied helplessly: "Okay, I am all according to Qing's words." After saying that, he retreated.........

Kou Zhun saw that Zhenzong only coped with the matter, and did not have the heart to go out sincerely, and his family was still angry. Zhenzong did not personally conquer Lanzhou for a day, and Kou Zhun's feelings of persuasion were not extinguished.

When I returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, I saw Xiao Yuerong and Guan Canghai waiting in the study. The two asked Hou Miansheng about the situation. Kou Zhuan started the matter of the court from the beginning. Yuerong and Guan Canghai are both happy. Yuerong was convinced, and said secretly: "Lord Kou, it's really Lord Kou!" ”

So Yuerong said: "Your Majesty has approved the sending of reinforcements, so that the siege of Lanzhou can be solved, and the grass people should return to Lanzhou as soon as possible to go to Marshal Yang to comfort the hearts of the army." ”

Kou Zhun said with a smile: "Xiao Yishi has worked tirelessly for the major affairs of his family and country, and the old man is very grateful!" ”

Yue Rong thanked him: "This is the work of the grass people, and it is the great luck of the grass people to be able to contribute to their family and country." ”

Kou Zhun nodded with satisfaction and said: "Go back to Lanzhou and bring the old man to greet Marshal Yang: The danger of the society is all due to the loyalty of the Yang family to defend my territory." Kou Mou is really tired of dedicating himself to the people of the world. ”

Yuerong obeyed the order, took Lord Kou's blunt words to heart, did not delay any longer, and returned to Lanzhou City on a fast horse.
