Lin'an.

Glancing down at the king in the heights, Ding Daquan quickly lowered his head.

"Tell me, what is the current Chengdu Road?"

The angry voice came, which immediately made Ding Daquan tremble with fright.

He hurriedly lowered his head and replied, "Your Majesty." At present, Chengdu Road is still supported by Wang Jian and Yu Jue, and everything is fine. ”

"Really?"

Zhao Yun couldn't help frowning and stared at Ding Daquan.

Yesterday, he was in a good mood, so he played in the back garden, and met the current queen Xie Daoqing and Li Tingzhi who stepped into the garden through Xie Daoqing.

Although he was annoyed that Xie Daoqing had never given birth to a son for himself, and he had resisted himself many times, the two had been husband and wife for many years after all, so under Xie Daoqing's persuasion, he listened to the purpose of Li Tingzhi's trip.

With this question, Zhao Yun only knew the current situation of Sichuan and Shu, so he had what he is now.

Na Ding Daquan hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty." Think about it, if you want to step into Sichuan and Shu, you have to go through Hanzhong, where the Red Phoenix Army is located, to step into it. And the current King of Jin and his might, the Red Phoenix Army under his command is also brave and abnormal, thwarting the Mongol offensive several times, and is already regarded as the birth of the Snail Emperor in the Central Plains. Since it has the support of the Jin king, how can Mongolia do such an act?"

"In that case, then why did someone tell me that Mongolia had entered the country, and Sichuan and Shu had already lost most of it? Yu Jue and Wang Jian could only be trapped in Diaoyu City and struggling to support them?" Zhao Yun asked again.

Ding Daquan's throat moved, he took a deep breath, and replied, "Your Majesty." This matter is purely fictitious, and if this is the case, Sichuan Shu can probably admonish the court, otherwise how can he report to the Holy Lord in private? Not to mention that the Holy Lord also knows that the whole army is about to be reorganized, which can really threaten many people. In order to be able to retain their authority, it is natural for those people to spread rumors everywhere. It is precisely for this reason that if he does not take the Mongol threat to the extreme, how can he make His Majesty trust and stop the matter of recovering military power?"

"Keep the military power?" Zhao Yun asked again with waves in his heart.

Gathering military power and bringing it to the central government has always been what Zhao Yun wanted.

Therefore, after the death of Meng Hui, Zheng Qingzhi, Shi Songzhi and others, they began to focus on promoting this matter, and Ding Daquan, Ma Tianji and others were the people he promoted from among the ministers to promote this matter.

Ding Daquan saw that Zhao Yun was a little suspicious, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty." And so it must be. And you think, Sichuan and Shu are so far away from Mongolia, and there are no desolate Gobi or high mountains along the way. If you want to overcome these dangers, you still want to defeat the well-groomed forbidden army?

"That's just as well. ”

After hearing this, Zhao Yun thought about it in his heart, and also felt that this matter was too ridiculous.

Since the Red Feng Army occupied Hanzhong, it has repeatedly dispatched soldiers under its command to sweep away the surrounding Mongol forces. The Sichuan and Shu generation has also received a lot of help because of this, and when they finally have some rest and recuperation, the food and salary delivered to Lin'an have also increased a lot.

In this case, how can the Sichuan and Shu generation be as dangerous as Li Tingzhi said?

It's a pity that Zhao Yun couldn't imagine that Mongolia would really step into Dali from Tufan, and then go north from Dali to attack the Sichuan and Shu areas.

After all, with this kind of ultra-wide-area and large-scale maneuver, there may not be a few people in the whole world who have the courage!

Zhao Yun bowed slightly, and said: "Since this is the case, the affairs of the government will be handled by you." Remember, at this time, it is necessary to collect the military power from all over the country, otherwise it will be difficult for our dynasty to rise again, let alone fight against the Mongol army. ”

Since the advent of firearms, the way of warfare has changed a lot, becoming more dependent on weaponry and logistics.

It was precisely because of this that Zhao Yun sensed the opportunity, trying to use firearms to build an army in the court that was enough to rival the Chifeng army, and then rely on this army to overwhelm the warlords who had been entrenched in the army for a long time, and use this to confront the Mongols.

His idea is not wrong, but in this kind of fierce and dangerous time, it requires a very high ability of the promoter.

With Ding Daquan's foundationless background, if he wants to push this matter forward, he can only use some despicable and dirty means. Zhao Yun also knows this, but he just uses this person as a tool to fight the warlords and gather military power, and if this person really makes a mess of the whole situation, he can also push this person out as a substitute for the dead ghost and dissipate the grievances of the ministers in the court.

In this way, Zhao Yun is already very familiar with it.

Ding Daquan hurriedly bowed his head and thanked him: "Your Majesty." The minister must have done his best and died with all his might. After leaving from the Vertical Arch Palace, his eyes instantly became fierce, and he saw a person walking in front of him, it was Zhao Yun's favored minister Dong Songchen.

Seeing Ding Daquan's sad face, Dong Songchen hurriedly asked, "Brother Ziwan, I don't know who offended you this time?"

"Hmph. Isn't it that someone slandered the saint, and as a result, I was scolded by the saint?" Ding Daquan snorted lightly and asked, "That's right." Do you remember who entered the palace at night last night to meet His Majesty?"

Dong Songchen's face moved slightly, and he immediately smiled: "Oh, do you suspect that someone is secretly trying to obstruct it?"

"That's right. ”

Ding Daquan couldn't help pouting when he saw Dong Songchen's ambiguous face, and his eyes were even more annoyed, so he immediately took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve and handed them to the other party, "And this time someone can enter the palace at night, if it is the next time to assassinate the saint, this will be worth it? I am an important minister in the court, so I naturally have to investigate clearly." ”

If you want to get information from the other party, you can only do it with this white silver ticket.

Ding Daquan has long been familiar with Dong Songchen's temperament.

Dong Songchen glanced at the silver ticket, and after confirming that the seal on it was genuine, his whole face was like a flower, and it bloomed in an instant.

"I didn't expect such a thing? If that's the case, then I can't let the other party go. Don't worry, I will definitely investigate this matter and give you an explanation. ”

Regarding the familiar situation in the palace of the Southern Song Dynasty, Dong Songchen prides himself on being the first, so there is no second person, and even if Zhao Yun wants to go somewhere, he can only know the specific location by asking him, otherwise how can Dong Songchen become Zhao Yun's favorite minister?

"That's right. The safety of the Holy One is really worried for us. That's why I can't accept it. With a firm face, Ding Daquan secretly made up his mind.

This time, the man will definitely be found out completely.

......

Following.

At the agreed place, Ding Daquan had been waiting for a long time.

About half an hour later, Dong Songchen walked here. I saw him glance left and right, and after making sure that there was no one, he slowly paced and came to the small pavilion where Ding Daquan was.

"Did you find that person?" Ding Daquan was a little anxious and asked directly.

Dong Songchen shook his head lightly, but said, "Alas." It took a lot of effort to find that person. After all, the other party is strong and powerful, and there are many people under him. If I hadn't been cautious, I'm afraid that my little life would have died sooner. ”

patting his chest, Dong Songchen seemed to be still in danger, and his whole person looked scared.

Ding Daquan raised the corners of his eyes slightly, and immediately took an envelope from his hand, pushed it in front of the other party's eyes, and complained: "Brother Dong personally entered the tiger's den, just to explore the danger of the enemy. Prepare a small gift below, which can be regarded as a pressure shock for you. ”

"That's disrespectful!"

Dong Songchen's face was happy, and he quickly took the belief into his arms, and then said: "But it's really scary, after all, who is that person, even I was startled." ”

"Who?" Ding Daquan asked in a low voice.

Dong Songchen took a deep breath before replying: "This person is the current Right Minister and Deputy Privy Council Envoy - Dong Huai!"

"Is it him?" Ding Daquan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head again and again, and replied: "But it's only him." ”

Dong Songchen saw Ding Daquan gritting his teeth, and suddenly felt a little curious and asked, "Oh? Could it be that you have some grudges with him?"

"It's not that there are some grievances, but it's really a disagreement. ”

Ding Daquan looked angry and said with a sneer: "You also know." The reason why His Majesty promoted me and him at the same time was that he hoped that the two of us would eliminate our old grievances and be able to work together. But this Dong Huai has repeatedly rejected many talents I recommend for various reasons, saying that the other party is not talented and virtuous. Aren't you trying to cultivate your own power so that you can take the opportunity to monopolize the entire government?"

Dong Songchen asked again: "Oh, then why do you think this person wants to meet His Majesty secretly today?"

"In my opinion. He must have thought I was an eyesore, so he wanted to get rid of me so that he could dominate the government. ”

Ding Daquan's eyes flashed, and he became firm, and replied: "Since that's the case." Then you're welcome. This time, I'm going to see what the man does?"

has already made up his mind in his heart, Ding Daquan plans to completely pull out Dong Huai this time.

Dong Songchen saw that the other party had made up his mind, so he comforted: "I am a eunuch. For the matter of you and Dong Huai, it is naturally inconvenient to interfere. It's just that that person dared to meet the saint at night, for fear that this person would secretly poison him in the future. For the sake of the Holy, you must not fail. ”

"Don't worry, I'm going to beat them out this time. Ding Daquan nodded, and hated Dong Huai even more.

This time, if he hadn't reacted in time to fool the past, he was afraid that what he had done would be completely exposed in front of Zhao Yun's eyes.

At that time, his own background is insufficient, and after losing Zhao Yun's support, he will inevitably fall completely and fall into a catastrophe. At that time, I am afraid that I will not only belittle such a consequence, but may even be directly forced to death by that group of scholars.

Since Ding Daquan entered the court, he has been very clear about the so-called scholars.

They are by no means the so-called humble gentlemen, on the contrary, when faced with those who disagree with them, they will instantly turn into jackals, tigers and leopards, and completely tear their opponents apart before they give up.
