"Oh, is Zhao Yun finally dead?"

Putting down the file in his hand, Xiao Feng finally raised his head and glanced at Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei suddenly felt the pressure increase sharply, and secretly thought in his heart that his lord really didn't have any respect for Zhao Yun, and replied in a low voice: "That's right." According to the news from Lin'an, Zhao Yun died because he heard the news of the failure of the Northern Expedition and died without taking a breath. ”

"And what about the throne, and who are they going to put in it?"

Xiao Feng asked again, Zhang Wei could even hear the joy in this voice, but he was just a secretary, so naturally he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so he had to say euphemistically.

"According to what I learned below, that person seems to be the former deposed prince?"

"Zhao Xuan, that child with cerebral palsy, I didn't expect that this Lin'an minister was really sick and rushed to the doctor, and he really let this person take the position. Xiao Feng sneered, and finally gave a conclusion: "It seems that this Song Dynasty is doomed to perish." ”

Zhang Wei closed his lips and didn't dare to say anything.

He is just a secretary, and in terms of identity and status, he is far less domineering than Xiao Feng, so he naturally has to be cautious in his words and deeds.

"Now that this Zhao Yun is dead, the plan to go south should also begin. Unable to bear the excitement in patience, Xiao Feng's words began to become tight: "You go and summon all the ministers and the chairman, I am going to discuss some things with them." Got it?"

"I understand it below. ”

Zhang Wei immediately closed his head and quickly left the prime minister's office.

Compared with Xiao Jingmao in the past, the actual controller of the Red Phoenix Army is really too terrifying.

After Zhang Wei left, Xiao Fengfang put away his momentum and showed a little tiredness: "Alas! It seems that I am still too serious? It's a pity that in this troubled time, I can't tolerate too many children." "After going through too many things, for Xiao Feng now, it seems that he has lost the ability to smile.

Even if she didn't want to maintain this appearance of majesty, the challenges that emerged from everywhere only allowed her to keep arming herself to be up to the job.

As for that Zhang Wei?

After leaving the Prime Minister's office, he was about to inform other ministers when he heard a familiar voice from next to him.

"Zhang Wei, what are you doing?"

Hurriedly turned around, Zhang Wei saw that the person who came was his former boss, Xiao Jingmao.

He hurriedly bowed, and then complained: "It turned out to be Premier Xiao! I didn't notice it, I'm really sorry." ”

"Premier Xiao?"

Xiao Jingmao waved his hand and pointed out the other party's mistake: "I'm not the prime minister now, you better don't call me Premier Xiao." You know what?"

Since the end of the Northern Expedition, although Xiao Jingmao resigned from the post of prime minister, he was elected as the new chairman of the Chinese Sect by Xiao Feng on the grounds that the chairman could not be vacant, responsible for stabilizing the hearts of the people in the newly entered territory!

Of course, the power of the army has always been pinched by Xiao Feng, and it has never been grasped by others.

Xiao Feng is still the actual controller of the Red Phoenix Army!

"Well, I almost forgot that you had become the chairman. Shouldn't I call you Chairman Xiao now?"

That Zhang Wei smiled helplessly, feeling afraid of his momentary mistake, he was really afraid that Xiao Feng would hear about this matter.

"It's fine. It's just that you look in a hurry, isn't something happening, why don't you tell me?"

Xiao Jingmao smiled and asked with a concerned expression.

Zhang Wei's heart warmed, and when he was about to speak, Xiao Feng's slightly cold face appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but shake his head: "This, let's talk about it later, after all, I haven't completed the task given to me by the lord yet." ”

"Mission, what mission? If it's not a confidential matter, why don't you tell me about it?"

"It's not a big deal. Isn't this the death of the emperor of the Song Dynasty? So the lord asked me to gather the ministers, saying that they were going to discuss a set of plans to deal with this unexpected incident. Zhang Wei replied calmly, and then left in a hurry.

Xiao Jingmao listened, and thought in his heart.

"Lord, it seems that you are really planning to start acting? It's just that after all these years, I don't know how many people will be willing to support it?"

The previous Northern Expedition really frightened the hundred officials in Chang'an City, and of course it also consumed the accumulation of the Red Phoenix Army for decades, if it happened again, I was afraid that they would directly set off a riot, otherwise why would Xiao Feng sit back and watch the great opportunity of the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty slip by, and never move?

War, after all, needs to be fully prepared, otherwise it will only be a complete failure just like the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty!

On the other side, under Zhang Wei's notice, all the ministers also came to the conference hall together, looking at Xiao Feng, who was already sitting on the presiding seat, with some interest, for the woman in front of them, their hearts were also very complicated, on the one hand, they also admired each other's ability and status, and on the other hand, they were also afraid of each other's strange temperament.

"Sit down!"

With a wave of their hand, everyone dared to sit down.

Quietly watching everyone sit still, Xiao Feng spoke up: "Everyone, you must have known that the emperor of the Song Dynasty has died, and his successor is his nephew Zhao Xuan. What is your opinion on this matter?"

"This, isn't the lord planning the Southern Song Dynasty?"

Defense Minister Duan Ling asked in a low voice.

A few days ago, because of the recurrence of an old injury in the past, Ma Yundong was in a slump, so he had to give up his duties as a minister and let Duan Ling serve as the new minister of war.

Xiao Feng nodded, his sharp gaze swept over everyone's faces, and he said as if pointedly: "That's right, you also know the purpose of my founding of the Red Phoenix Army in the first place!"

"Expelling the Tatars and reviving China?"

Duan Ling was overjoyed in his heart, but when his eyes skimmed over the people next to him, his face was much darker.

At that time, when he rebelled with Xiao Feng, he was only in his twenties, and he was still a hot-blooded young man who was very easy to be bewitched, but thirty years have passed in a flash, and he is now more than fifty, and he has several children under his knees.

When the rest of the people heard this, they also showed embarrassment.

For example, the Minister of Finance, Zhou Chu, his face is always bitter melon face, and he is not happy, after all, once the war starts, the money spent is the same as flowing water, and there is no possibility of stopping.

Although Zhu Yuzhen, the minister of health, had never spoken, his eyes were full of worry, and as for Guo Jing, the minister of public security, he felt embarrassed. Both of them were from the Song Dynasty, and now that they saw that their lord had ambitions for the Song Dynasty, although they had long known each other's intentions, they were still worried about their relatives who were stranded in the Song Dynasty.

As for Song Zizhen, the Minister of Education, since he entered here, he has been looking at his nose and his heart, and he doesn't care at all.

Only the Minister of Commerce, Song Xin, looked anxious.

Seeing everyone's expressions in his eyes, Xiao Feng did not hesitate at all, and confided in his own mouth: "That's right. It's just that with the current situation, maybe we should go in a different direction. ”

"Is it the Song Dynasty?"

Duan Ling asked in a low voice.

Xiao Feng closed his head and replied, "That's right. After all, the Song Dynasty had just failed in the Northern Expedition, and the internal mess was even more messy because of the Gongtian Law, which was much weaker than that Mongolia. If we can bring this Song Dynasty under our command and take their century-old accumulation into our hands, we will naturally have enough strength to launch the Northern Expedition and annihilate the Mongol army in one fell swoop. ”

Destroying Mongolia has become Xiao Feng's obsession, and even after thirty years, he still has not forgotten it.

Everyone's hearts tightened, but they didn't feel the weight of these words, knowing that their lord was not a child's play, but really intended to promote this plan.

"Lord!"

Song Xin, Minister of Commerce, couldn't help it, and stood up straight, but shouted directly: "The minister thinks that this matter is extremely inappropriate. No matter how the Song Dynasty changes, we are only subservient to him after all. If we do this rashly, I am afraid that everyone in the world will regard us as chaotic ministers and thieves!"

"Who will locate the rebels and thieves, and who will dare to tell them?"

Xiao Feng smiled contemptuously, he didn't take this statement seriously, the success of the Northern Expedition had already demonstrated the decadence of the Song Dynasty, and he was now at the time of his strength, how could he accept such a statement?

Song Xin was also stunned, and then argued loudly: "But lord, don't forget, your status as the king of Jin was given by the Song Dynasty." ”

"But when do I need this thing? If you need it, I'll give it to you?"

Xiao Feng glared at Song Xin with reproachful eyes, but he was also slightly surprised in his heart, and secretly thought: "I didn't expect that after thirty years of repeated teaching, there would be such die-hard elements?"

After all, since she occupied Chang'an, she has adopted administrative means to forcibly promote her own ideas in private schools in various places, greatly weakening the name of the monarch and minister, but emphasizing the national righteousness.

However, how stubborn the thousand-year-old Confucianism is, it is still rooted in people's consciousness, and it inadvertently reveals its own tendencies.

Song Zijie smiled softly, and said: "Wangjue, you have been in the court for more than 20 years, when have you ever seen the lord confer the title of prince?"

Song Xin was stunned, and then he realized that in this huge Red Phoenix Army, except for Xiao Feng, who was named King of Jin because of the reward of the Song Dynasty, none of the rest of the people had ever received the title, not even the weakest baron.

Of course, this does not mean that the Red Phoenix Army does not have a system for its subordinates.

After all, in this life, what he seeks is just the word power, so Xiao Feng did not dare to discard it rashly, but replaced it with a three-level and twelve-order military merit medal system.

From the highest Huaxia Medal to the lowest Zhaowu and Yangwei Medals, covering all levels and types of troops, plus the corresponding treatment, people can also enjoy the corresponding glory.

Of course, this medal is limited to one's own use, and it is not as good as the title to be passed on to future generations, which is criticized.

Song Xin said again: "But, no matter what, we will be under the command of the Song Dynasty after all, if we do this kind of thing, wouldn't it be unreasonable?"

"Hmph. The reason you are talking about is just the so-called Spring and Autumn Righteousness. However, since the Spring and Autumn Period, when has this thing been effective? Now that it has been abolished by the lord, it is also a matter of course!" Song Zijie sneered, his mouth full of mockery.

Since he joined the Red Phoenix Army, he has also understood Xiao Feng quite thoroughly, not to mention that he has achieved such a great cause as a woman, even many policies are also quite bold, and they are also quite resistant to Confucianism in the past.

After hesitation, Song Zizhen also carefully observed, and saw that it could operate properly, and he was also surprised in his heart, and he also had doubts about the usual Confucianism.

Xiao Feng also had disdain on his face, and shouted directly: "Since you don't want to, then resign, don't think that you are really irreplaceable." ”

Song Xin's body trembled, and naturally he didn't dare to say much, so he had to lean over and not react.

Duan Ling sighed slightly, feeling sorry for Song Xin, after this time, the other party's career was only afraid that it was completely gone, and after looking at Xiao Feng, he asked again: "But lord, you should also understand that I have just passed through the Northern Expedition within the court, and it is already the limit to occupy the two roads east of the river before, if I do it against the Song Dynasty at this moment, I am afraid that the troops will be insufficient." ”

"Lord, I also know your plan, but the Song Dynasty"

"I naturally understand this, so I don't think it can be done in a short time!"

Xiao Feng saw the worry in everyone's eyes, only stretched out his hands, and smiled: "Ten years! Ten years, I still have to wait in a hurry." ”

Song Xin said again: "But, no matter what, we will be under the command of the Song Dynasty after all, if we do this kind of thing, wouldn't it be unreasonable?"

"Hmph. The reason you are talking about is just the so-called Spring and Autumn Righteousness. However, since the Spring and Autumn Period, when has this thing been effective? Now that it has been abolished by the lord, it is also a matter of course!" Song Zijie sneered, his mouth full of mockery.

"Lord, I also know your plan, but the Song Dynasty"

"I naturally understand this, so I don't think it can be done in a short time!"

Xiao Feng saw the worry in everyone's eyes, only stretched out his hands, and smiled: "Ten years! Ten years, I still have to wait in a hurry." ”
