"The King of Qin has been lurking for a long time. He is just a robber. Our Jin Dynasty has destroyed Song and Liao. Why can't we capture a robber?"
"How to trace the 150,000 silver?"
"Who will make up for it? Who will contact Song State again? If we are so useless, won't we be laughed at by Song State?"
… …
Everyone asked questions, but Jin Wushu didn't say anything and just drank. He Ci had always been careless, so he only drank and let the officials make noise.
After his voice became quieter, Jin Wushu calmly said, "Hailing, did you know that the silver was stolen from you? And how did those three thousand soldiers in yellow robes die tragically?"
Hailing was foaming at the mouth and a little panicked. The silver coins were stolen from the hands of his two brothers. Three thousand soldiers in yellow were also lost in his hands. He looked at the Wolf Lord inadvertently. , he noticed the Wolf Lord’s angry gaze. This was the Wolf Lord’s personal guard, and He Ci was more afraid of them than the loss of 300,000 elites.
He even suspected that Hailing did it on purpose.
Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Hailing knew this truth. When he saw Heshang's eyes flashing with ferocity, he was speechless and could only kneel down and kowtow: "I am guilty of death, I am guilty of death..."
The fourth prince is always good at pushing his own responsibilities onto others. Hailing is angry and old, but no one can do anything about the fourth prince.
He thought so, but other ministers might as well think the same way. Hailing could only talk the talk but not act firmly, but the fourth prince was different. The fourth prince was a national hero of Daijin and a famous general of the generation. Hailing could be defeated, but he How can we lose? How can it be justified that he lost
They need an explanation, especially after the fourth prince has been dormant for so long, there must be some reasonable explanation, right? However, there was nothing but Hailing kneeling on the ground and kowtowing.
The right deputy prime minister stood up and presented a box to the wolf leader Heci. Heci opened it and his face changed drastically. Hailing looked at the words and saw Heci smashed the box at him and said angrily: "It's useless..."
The box fell apart, and it was full of evidence of the collusion between Hailing and Yelu Dayong.
Everyone's expression changed. No wonder the enemy would get prophets everywhere. Could it be Hailing's fault
But why does Hailing need to do this
The evidence that Hailing's noodles are like pig's liver is actually ambiguous. It originally pointed to the cooperation between him and Yelu Dayong, which was only the time to annihilate the Serpent tribe. However, it was obvious that the person who presented it deliberately used ambiguous words, and everyone's guesses changed. It's very ambiguous, and it leads to the road behind - since the King of Qin has formed an alliance with Yelu Dayong, they are in the same group. The alliance between Hailing and Yelu Dayong is an alliance with the King of Qin.
Since there is a traitor, how can we blame the Fourth Prince for not trying his best
Even if there was some neglect and contempt for the fourth prince that had just grown up, they were quickly removed. The fourth prince, the Jurchen national hero, how could he lose to a Han robber!
impossible! Unless there is a reason, all this is Hailing's fault.
Another political opponent noticed something was wrong and changed his direction: "Since the money was stolen in the hands of the Song people, they should be allowed to compensate. Immediately inform Qin Hui and ask the Song Dynasty to prepare compensation..."
"Yes, yes, let Zhao Deji compensate. If he doesn't pay, we will call him..."
…
… …
Prime Minister Zuo coughed: "Hailing, what's going on?"
Hailing was anxious: "That was when I wanted to use Yelu Dayong to kill the Serpent Tribe... But, after that, I never had any contact with them again. The Wolf Lord also knows about this... "
He hurriedly turned to He Ci: "Your Majesty, you also know..."
Occasionally, He Ci seemed to have heard him talk about the extermination of the Orochi tribe, but he didn't know. He wanted to save some face for this brother after all, and the relationship between the brothers was usually good, so he could only nodded vaguely: "Indeed, I also I know a little bit about it.”
Now that the emperor knows it, what can everyone say? Although it was extremely strange, I didn't dare to pursue it any further.
On the contrary, it was Jin Wushu who sat quietly and did not take the opportunity to press him. He always seemed worried. Originally, some of his followers wanted to take the opportunity to attack Hailing, but when the fourth prince did not say anything, they had no choice but to give up.
But everyone immediately returned to the topic of the stolen silver.
"I heard that Qin Hui was stabbed... by a female assassin..."
"Didn't you say she was Yinmu? Why did she become a female assassin again?"
"I heard that someone pretended to be Yin Muke. He and Qin Hui have no enmity. Why did they assassinate Qin Hui?"
"Where is Yin Muke's body?"
"The body has long been destroyed and all traces have been wiped out..."
"Is Qin Hui dead?"
"I heard the injury was serious..."
"Wouldn't that be just right? There is no one in the Song Dynasty, and Zhao Deji is as timid as a mouse. We might as well take the opportunity to attack them, take advantage of their chaos, make a profit, and simply go to Hangzhou. I heard that the Flower World in Hangzhou is more prosperous than Tokyo in the past... "
…
The house was filled with the sound of shouting and killing, the plunder in the early years, the rich results of the war, the beauties of the Southern Dynasties, Su Dongpo's calligraphy and paintings... The powerful material stimulation once again made these new generation Jin people red-eyed. Even the thorns were ready to move. , there is a strong desire between his eyebrows. Since he came to the throne, he has been weak and has never been on a personal expedition. Thinking about the majesty of his father and ancestors, the golden horse and iron horse back then... It would be great if one day I could wear the military robe. prestige
"Your Majesty, this is really an excellent excuse and the best time..."
"But, with the Song and Jin peace talks, how can we easily violate the treaty? Give others a handle?"
"The peace between Song and Jin? It's not simple. It was the people of Song who violated it first. It was King Qin who robbed our money. It was they who betrayed their trust first..."
"Yes, yes, yes, kill them. There are many beauties in the Southern Dynasties. I once heard someone say that there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. There are so many beauties in Suzhou and Hangzhou... Hahaha, we should go and see them..."
"In the Song Dynasty, there was only one Yue Pengju, and Han Zhongliang had already been dismissed. We were afraid of what he might do..."
Jin Wushu had been sitting there, listening quietly to the noise of this group of people. Maybe they had lived a comfortable life for too long, and they had become so ignorant. The Song Dynasty lost Yue Pengju and Han Zhongliang, but there was still There are Liu Ning and other famous generals. Even if these people have average reputations, are the hundreds of thousands of elites just free of charge? Zhao Deji has already established a firm foothold and accumulated wealth over the years. How can it be compared with his escape back then
"beat… "
"beat… "
"We should fight..."
…
He Ci was also so excited that his face turned red. Only then did he think of asking Jin Wushu, who was sitting quietly aside, that he was the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and he had the most say.
"Fourth uncle, why don't we take the opportunity to fight?"
Jin Wushu said calmly: "Who do you recommend as the vanguard and who as the commander-in-chief?"
Everyone was stunned. Could it be that the fourth prince was not the coach
Jin Wushu opened his large robe and turned around. Everyone exclaimed and looked at the numerous scars all over his body. Many of them were deep and crisscrossed, making it unbearable to see. It turns out that the fourth prince can achieve the high position he has today. His fame is by no means wasted. Every sword and shot was earned with flesh and blood. The scars all over his body not only symbolize his merits, but also symbolize his loyalty and loyalty to Daikin.
He Ci hurriedly said: "Come here, take out the safflower oil that was paid tribute by the foreign countries a few days ago and rub it on your fourth uncle."
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
Amid everyone's astonishment, Jin Wushu slowly pulled down his clothes and said calmly: "This prince is seriously injured and cannot go on the expedition. You can nominate candidates, or you can nominate yourself."
Everyone looked at it, and there was no suitable candidate. Over the years, civil servants and generals have been immersed in the enjoyment of great wealth, immersed in the fragrance of beautiful women's bodies, all of them have become potbellied, and their ambitions have been wasted. They only know about pleasure and enjoyment. Jin Guozhan The general is withered like this. Apart from the fourth prince, who else is worthy enough to go into battle? Everyone's eyes turned to the extremely excited Hailing, but he did not dare to ask Hailing to go to the Song Dynasty. He lowered his head.
"Who else takes the initiative to go?"
No one answered. The older generation already had manors and mansions like the Han aristocrats, with groups of slaves, maids, and concubines. They also had music, playing, and singing, and gold and silver treasures. They no longer lacked material things, nor did they lack beauties. People will die in war. Even if there is a big temptation, who is willing to take this risk in vain
Most of the other young people grew up in the palace. Although they can still ride horses and shoot arrows, they are more like the young men of the Han family than their fathers and ancestors who used their bare hands to kill tigers and bears. It is a decoration.
The environment can quickly degrade people to the point of death!
The only two people who dared to show off their strength, but their qualifications were still relatively low. When everyone saw them recommending themselves, they all laughed: "You guys, your hair hasn't even grown yet..."
"Look at how you look like a bear. You can only drink milk from a woman's arms..."
"Hahahaha... drink, drink..."
Jin Wushu exited the scene amidst the giddy cheers of the crowd and left quietly. From time to time, some drunken people could be heard asking Hailing why he had lost such a large sum of money.
After leaving the door, I wiped away the cold sweat.
This is a "little trick" that I used when I was drunk. Political opponents are not stupid pigs. Some people just follow the wind. They will understand it soon. Even if the money is lost in Hailing's hands, I will still do it. He bears a huge responsibility and cannot shirk it. Then, political opponents will come up with many other excuses.
If you don't go to war with the Song Dynasty, you will fight within the court. This is politics, no matter whether it is the Song Dynasty or the Jin Dynasty. But, he thought, he is tired of the war. It is too disgusting, and the blood on the end of his nose has not been wiped off, so what Can you muster up the courage to pick up the knife and fight again? In a daze, he had already thrown away his armor.
A restless Gao Yigong stood at the door of the study room of the Fourth Prince's Mansion. When he saw him, he immediately knelt down and said, "Fourth Prince, Qin Hui has a secret letter."
Jin Wushu took the secret letter, walked into the study, sat down, and opened it.
It was Qin Hui's request for help, asking him to send troops to attack the Song Dynasty on the pretext of the loss of silver. Even if it was just a pretense, he could claim credit in front of Zhao Deji and play the role of mediator again. Of course, the conditions he offered were very Rich, issued in the name of the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty.
Jin Wushu looked at it carefully twice and put it on the candlelight. There was a faint blue light and turned into ashes. He thought that Qin Hui coincided with the ideas of the Jurchen nobles. However, Qin Hui also ignored it. Now In the Kingdom of Jin, how many people are capable of fighting? The Kingdom of Jin is actually not as good as the Kingdom of Song now.
It's just that Zhao Deji was scared and never knew about it. Or she didn't even dare to think about it. Just like a woman who is used to being a concubine, she unconsciously becomes a slave when she sees a man, and she always dares to compromise.
He laughed self-deprecatingly, "Who is going to go to war?" Going by yourself again? When he threw away that piece of armor, he had already sworn that he would never go to the battlefield again in this life, no matter what the circumstances.
