"Wang Chengfu, did he pass away ——, too?"

Pinching the envelope in his hand, Zhang Jian only felt lost.

Now is the time of storms, and the ministers he can rely on are like the autumn wind and falling leaves, leaving one after another, leaving him alone. Such a scene also made Zhang Jian deeply touched, and his heart was even more miserable.

If there were no such people, how would he support this huge court?

Jin Ming closed his head and replied: "Prime Minister Qi." Just before the tenth day, Lord Wang ——, him-" Before he finished speaking, he was already whimpering.

"If that's the case, then Jiangling Mansion, Anyang Army, and De'an Mansion are all occupied by the Huaxia Army?" Zhang Jian asked again.

Jin Ming closed his head and replied, "That's right. ”

"Alas. ”

Sighing silently, Zhang Jian suddenly felt his body sink, and he knew better that now that this news was news, he was afraid that there would be another bloody storm.

"In this world, when will it be over!"

The Huaxia army is a little better, at least it will not do slaughter along the way, but the Yuan army is not like this, although it is much more restrained than the slaughter of the city at the beginning, but the ferocity that is seared into the bones also makes people frightened.

The current situation is beyond his ability.

"Alas. Do you really mean that there is no one in my court?"

Jin Ming stood beside him, his eyebrows furrowed as he looked at the prime minister.

Like Wang Lixin, Zhang Jian also has gray hair, and his forehead is also covered with ravines left by the years, and occasionally there is a sense of exhaustion in his eyes, after all, he is also in his sixties, and his energy is naturally limited.

With a creak, the door opened.

The housekeeper said to Zhang Jian: "Master, it's time to go to court." ”

"Is it time to go to the court?" Zhang Jian reacted at this time, his eyes were a little dazed, until he saw the housekeeper holding the official uniform, and then he suddenly felt something.

"Since the adults are going to court, then I won't bother. ”

When Jin Ming saw this scene, he immediately got up and bowed and left, leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, except for Zhang Jian, he still had to meet others.

Zhang Jian still looked dazed, he seemed to have forgotten Jin Ming, put on his official robe under the service of the butler, and then stepped into the prepared carriage and headed towards the Qinzheng Palace. And today's Qinzheng Palace, compared with the previous time, seems to have more gunpowder smell.

"I'm talking about justice. Why are you here now?"

As soon as he stepped into the hall, Zhang Jian heard Wang Yao's voice full of displeasure.

Zhang Jian smiled bitterly and replied, "Isn't this an old man visiting?" ”

"The old man, but I don't know where the old man came from, and what are you talking about?" Wang Jian said with a thorn in his words, and came directly towards Zhang Jian.

Zhang Jian was displeased, and replied: "That person is Wang Chengfu's confidant, and the discussion is just some ordinary things, but it is not as complicated as you think." With his wisdom, he naturally knew the meaning of Wang Yao's words, and it was clearly vague that he was a spy and suspected of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, which made Zhang Jian accept it, and naturally refuted a few words.

"Humph!"

Wang Yao snorted lightly, his attitude was still arrogant, and his mouth still insisted on the previous question: "I almost forgot." You're the prime minister, so I'm naturally not qualified to ask you this. ”

"Huh. ”

Zhang Jian shook his head lightly, and did not deny this matter, but just glanced sideways at the people around him, and asked, "My things are just some trivial things, and they are nothing." It's just that you're in such a hurry to hold a meeting, what are you for?"

"What else can it be for? apart from the Yuan Army and the Huaxia Army, what do you think it will be?" Wang Yao replied angrily.

"That's right. This is also the purpose of the mourning family's invitation to all Aiqing here. In order to solve the current predicament, we have to negotiate a charter, don't we?" Xie Daoqing asked.

Since Zhao Xuan's death, because the successor emperor is too young, she can only go out and deal with the government by hanging the curtain and pro-government.

Zhang Jian bowed and replied: "It turned out to be the Empress Dowager, please forgive Weichen for being reckless and not giving a courtesy." ”

"It doesn't matter. These are just inconsequential matters, and Aiqing doesn't need to be so restrained. It's just Aiqing, I just heard that Wang Lixin has passed away, and Jiangling Mansion and other places have entered the pocket of the Huaxia army. May I ask if this is true?" Xie Daoqing looked at Zhang Jian worriedly, seeking an answer.

The rest of the ministers also looked at Zhang Jian together, waiting for his answer.

Zhang Jian suddenly felt the pressure increase sharply, even if he had the intention to hide it, he couldn't do anything, so he had to reply: "That's right." ”

"If so, what should we do?"

After confirming this news, the huge Qinzheng Hall suddenly fell into a boil, and the ministers all muttered. Needless to say, Xie Daoqing was naturally sad, and Wang Yao and Chen Yizhong were also related, as if they were worried about the next situation, but only Na Liumengyan was still staring at Chen Yizhong with gritted teeth, as if he was still caught in the previous controversy.

"Shut up!"

A roar of rage shocked the ministers.

Everyone looked at each other, but it was Wang Yao who stood up and accused everyone: "You are also a person who has read poetry and books, why are you noisy and noisy here like the women and children on the street? What is this like? Or is it not my Great Song Dynasty official?"

"Prime Minister Wang, isn't this afraid? After all, the Huaxia Army said that they want to clear the king's side, if she calls, what should we do?" someone replied with a licking face.

Wang Yao snorted coldly and scolded back directly: "The soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it." We're not nobody, are we still afraid of her?" Seeing that the man seemed to have a rebuttal, he even scolded: "And you are noisy here, what is it? Why don't you pick your flower feather now and get out of here." ”

Xie Daoqing was a little sympathetic and persuaded: "Prime Minister Wang, he just has some doubts, so there is no need to be like this." ”

"It doesn't have to be that way?"

Wang Yao was unceremonious, and shouted directly at Xie Daoqing: "Empress Dowager Xie." Don't forget that these are troubled times. As the so-called chaotic times use canons, if we don't teach that guy a lesson, I'm afraid that he will still make noise about it, which will affect our faith. Ling Li swept his eyes, and immediately forced the rest of the ministers who wanted to defend themselves to retreat, and said: "Come on, drag this guy down for me, get rid of his fame, and never be hired." The four guards went out together, and immediately dragged the previous noisy person down, and there was no life.

When the ministers saw this, they were afraid that this would happen to them, so they had to keep their mouths shut.

"Alas. ”

Zhang Jian's eyes were slightly closed, and he couldn't bear to look directly at such a scene.

It's just that he knew that he couldn't do anything, so he had to let Wang Yao take action, so as not to continue to collapse the entire court, or at least maintain a look that seemed to be still running.

Because this king was angry, the whole court also fell into complete silence.

Xie Daoqing only felt that the court was too quiet, so he had to break the silence, and his eyes fell on Chen Yizhong, who was hiding in the corner, and immediately asked, "Chen Yizhong." "No matter what, she is still the empress dowager of the Great Song Dynasty after all, so she naturally needs to work hard and find a way to solve it, at least she can't just be so stiff, isn't it?"

And the reason why she chose Chen Yizhong was because Chen Yizhong had performed well before, so he was naturally relied on by Xie Daoqing and thought that he was a pillar of the country.

"It's-"

Chen Yizhong was surprised, he didn't expect that he would be directly named.

In this way, no matter how unwilling he was, he could only stubbornly come up and reply: "The minister thinks that with the current situation, it is no longer possible to rely on our dynasty alone, and the only way to fight is to borrow strength." ”

"Leverage?"

Xie Daoqing was a little confused, and continued to ask: "You mean, let the Huaxia army and the Yuan army fight?"

Chen Yizhong closed his head and replied, "That's right. Presumably, the Huaxia army has been against the Yuan army since the uprising, including the Great Khan of Mengge, who also died at the hands of the King of Jin. Between the two, it can be said that they are the enemies of life and death, if it weren't for the fact that the strength of the two is not much different, I am afraid that they would have already been fighting. In that case, we might as well take advantage of this to provoke the two armies to fight, so as to give us room for maneuver. Isn't it?"

"Hmm. That's not a bad idea. ”

Xie Daoqing nodded approvingly, looking quite approved of Chen Yizhong's proposal.

"This guy has some skills!"

Liumengyan raised his head and stared at Chen Yizhong with an annoyed expression. Wang Yi looked at Chen Yizhong in surprise, as if he was also surprised that he could make such a suggestion. As for that Zhang Jian, he also glanced at Chen Yizhong sideways, but he thought in his heart: "Alas. This plan seems to be okay, but unfortunately if it is really to be implemented, I am afraid it will be a different scene. "It seems, he doesn't seem to be interested in the plan.

"Prime Minister Zhang, what do you think?"

Raising his head, Xie Daoqing began to ask for the opinions of others.

There is no way, Xie Daoqing does not have any experience in governance, and she can only ask these ministers before she can make a corresponding decision. Moreover, Chen Yizhong is young and has shallow qualifications after all, he alone will naturally not be able to succeed, and it must be agreed by others before it can be implemented.

"Sure enough, it came again. ”

Zhang Jian was silent, although he had the intention to refuse, but in the face of Xie Daoqing's plea, he could only bite the bullet and say: "This plan is indeed feasible. It's just that there is one question, and that is who should we choose? Yuan Army, or Huaxia Army? After all, if they want to fight each other, they can't do nothing, they have to promise something to one of them, so that they can take the bait. Isn't it?"

When Xie Daoqing heard this, he immediately fell into a tangle.

"The Yuan army? The Yuan army is ferocious, and I don't know how many people have been killed along the way. If we choose them, I'm afraid that we will be scolded by the people and bloody, and I'm afraid that we will also be infamous in history in the future. If you choose the Huaxia Army Dehu, they have always been known for their strict military discipline, and there are many virtuous among the people, and the king of Jin is even called the Xuannu descending to earth. It's just that they have always treated officials harshly, and if they are allowed to come, I am afraid that our lives will be lost. ”

When Zhang Jian said this, the ministers also thought about it, fell into contemplation, and began to think about how to choose if it was themselves.
