"Father-in-law, what is this?" Yue Peng lifted up a token from the ground, causing several people to come over to watch.

"The Expulsion Order." Lu Junyi took it: "Hey, this is also a part of the play, right?" ”

"Drive out the Jin soldiers and restore the Central Plains." Shi Wengong stretched out his head and said disdainfully: "If you want to drive Liao, what the hell is this drive gold?" And the Central Plains, aren't we the Central Plains, what kind of strength to recover, hey! ”

When Zhou Tong heard this, his face immediately changed: "Could it be that these people are Liao?" ”

Liao?

Expelling the Jin soldiers, referring to their enemies in the north?

To restore the Central Plains, did they intend to go south to invade the land of the Great Song Dynasty?

"That's not right, master!" The youngest, Mo Shuning, shouted: "Look, this is a Chinese character, not a Khitan script. ”

"Recruit people with lofty ideals to resist Jin Liao together." Yue Pengju stood opposite them, and found that in addition to the carving, there was a row of small characters behind the token, and he leaned in and whispered it.

"Master, is this token from the third prince, or is it surnamed Cai, which of them fell from it?" Lin Chong was the most steady, he frowned and said, "There is a high probability that we are being targeted." ”

This sentence is correct, otherwise there would not be this wave of people to tie them up, and that wave of people would have just arrived.

Either the same wave of people are acting, or there are two waves of people who are determined to win them.

"Didn't the Cai family lose ground? Even Cai You, who has always been the most popular official, has been dismissed, what is the meaning of their jumping? Lu Junyi handed the sign to Zhou Tong and asked, "Master, otherwise we should go to Mingxing Building, right?" ”

"I also think I should go to Mingxing Building, although His Royal Highness is not the elder, but he is the most favored by the official family, follow him, maybe our brothers can show their skills!" Shi Wengong was energetic, he stretched out his hands and put on a posture of drawing a long bow and shooting a big bird: "We are so poor that we can't even afford a good bow now, and the horses are too old to run a few miles, how can we practice the kung fu of bowing and horses skillfully and fighting against Jin Liao?" ”

As soon as he said this, the remaining senior brothers nodded one after another, looking at Zhou Tong eagerly in their eyes.

Zhou Tong looked at the token repeatedly, and his heart was also a little moved.

At this moment, Cai Yan went and returned, his arm seemed to be half bandaged, and he came in a hurry, looking extremely nervous: "Old General Zhou, can you ...... This token belongs to the lower official, but I accidentally left it, and I ask the old general to return it. ”

With that, he crossed his hands, leaned slightly, and gave a forked hand salute.

"Cai Wulang, this gold driving order belongs to your father?" Zhou Tong saw that Cai Yan was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he definitely didn't have such great ability: "Are you planning to raise your own private soldiers in the name of national righteousness?" ”

"The old general misunderstood!" Cai Yan smiled slightly: "This order was given to the emperor by the official family, His Royal Highness built a martial arts field north of the imperial city, and planned to recruit people with lofty ideals, develop a team of elite soldiers to protect the Great Song Dynasty, and recapture the sixteen states of Yanyun!" ”

Tiji?

As soon as Zhou Tong heard it, he knew that this emperor was the Mingde emperor who had been in the limelight recently.

Without him, the rest of the daughters of the official family have changed the title of the princess, and she is the only one who still bears the name of the emperor.

This woman is a traitor, selling and buying official positions to make money, she is a moth of the Great Song Dynasty, and Zhou Tong grits her teeth with hatred every time she talks to her apprentices.

Among the crowd, only Shi Wengong's eyes lit up, looking at the "gold driving order", his chest kept jumping.

"Oh, it turns out that the Cai family actually got on the emperor's big ship, and the little old man was disrespectful!" Zhou Tong handed over the token angrily: "It seems that Cai Xiang is coming back again!" ”

"The old general misunderstood!" Cai Yan took the token, disregarded the sarcasm, and explained very patiently: "When my father was cut off, it was still a crime that the emperor found with his own hands, and there was an emperor in one day, and none of these powerful traitors wanted to run away." ”

Quan Yan, a traitor?

Is that how you describe your father?

When Zhou Tong heard this, he felt quite relieved, and was about to open his mouth to sarcastically say a few more words, but heard Cai Yan continue:

"It's just that the emperor's power is too weak at the moment, although she has the heart to purify the court, but she has enough strength to spare.

Even if I had the internal response, it took a few days to pull my father and eldest brother off the horse, and I lost most of my manpower as a result.

Therefore, Xia Guan was ordered by Emperor Ji to come to win over General Zhou, who had already summoned hundreds of strong warriors, just waiting for General Zhou to take office, to be the head of his people, and to raise an elite army.

After the Qing Dynasty is purged, you can go north, drive straight into the Qiangliao, and restore the mountains and rivers of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

When Zhou Tong heard that he drove away the Great Liao and restored the mountains and rivers of the Great Song Dynasty, somehow, he felt a pride in his heart!

The sarcastic words that had reached the corners of his mouth were impacted without a trace.

"If it is to drive Liao, why is this order to drive gold?" Zhou Tong asked suspiciously.

"The old general doesn't know that His Royal Highness has installed a merchant in the realm of Liaojin, and he learned from the news that he has returned: The Liao Dynasty is brave and unparalleled in our dynasty, and once it is defeated against the Jin people, it has been taken away by the Jin people in two years."

"If Your Highness is not wrong, within ten years, Jin will swallow Liao. At that time, the next goal of the Jin people will be the beautiful rivers and mountains of my Great Song Dynasty. Cai Yan has a good posture, a good appearance, an unhurried official language, and a round tone, which makes people feel good from the bottom of their hearts.

"Emperor Ji is really a heroine among women!" Shi Wen's eyes were about to burst into flowers, and he stretched out his thumb and praised: "She has such a mind, she was only a teenager in the first two years, and she has arranged people in the Northern Dynasty to find out the news of the two countries, and it is not easy to take precautions!" ”

Zhou Tongxin also felt the same way, but his face was not obvious: "Since the emperor has already found out about this matter, why not talk about it with the official family?" ”

Some officials come forward to recruit elite soldiers and strong generals, and with just an edict, they will definitely be duty-bound to contribute to the people who have been demoted from the court.

"General Zhou doesn't know, the current treasury is empty, and if the officials want to act, they can only take it from the people." Cai Yan replied: "The tax is already so heavy, if it is added again, the bandits in the world will definitely rise in all directions, and at that time, the external and internal troubles, the Great Song Dynasty will definitely be in danger." ”

So, buy and sell official positions?

At this time, Zhou Tong suddenly felt that this move was very good.

The official family does not come out, and the emperor comes forward to buy and sell official positions, so that the rich people are willing to take the capital and use it to raise soldiers, although the disadvantages are very serious, it is better than to exploit the people again.

"There are many princes under the name of the official family." Zhou Tong looked at the eager eyes of the apprentices and carried out the last round of struggle.

"There are many princes under the name of the official family, all of whom were taught by the palace and abide by morality and etiquette, it is really difficult to make such a shocking act." Cai Yan arched his hands upward, with a look of admiration on his face: "Although the emperor is a woman, she is worried about the country and the people, and she is willing to ruin her reputation, but also to protect the safety of her family and country. ”

"If the position of an official is obtained by lawless people, disaster is imminent for the country and the people!"

"There is the emperor's private guard to supervise, if there is a person who does not donate officials, she will deal with it in private, and it will never endanger the dynasty!"

"The body of the emperor is involved in politics, which will definitely cause an uproar in the future, and blood relatives will fight each other!"

"The Great Song Dynasty is peaceful, the country is rich and the people are sufficient, the emperor should take the blame and retreat, and never love power!"

"Really?"

"It's true!"
