Hearing that Wang Zhaozhen reported names one by one, Yao Da's heart couldn't help but jump. These eight people are now the important subordinates of Wang Zhaozhen who are now stationed in various parts of the south. The letter king Zhao Zhen summoned them all to Jiangling this time, I am afraid it will be a big move. However, Yao Da is very smart. When he shouldn't talk too much, he would naturally not say anything. Instead, he bowed his hand and shouted in a deep voice: "Yes. Subordinates do."
Yao Da retired, but Xin Wang Zhao Zhen did not continue to deal with government affairs as usual. Instead, he left all government affairs aside, turned and walked to the map hanging in the study. The war with Liu Guang was not a decision made on a whim by the King of Letter Zhao Zhen. After half a month of silence, King of Letter Zhao Zhen has completely controlled the Nanjun Village and Jiangling Mansion in his own hands, regardless of whether it is the Northern Qi in the north. The stragglers who came were the Nanbans from the south, and they were all put down by the letter king Zhao Zhen. With the two armies of Yang Zaixing and Wu Jie joining forces, the Nanban nationalities had also surrendered to the letter king Zhao Zhen. Today, the Southern Zhao Family Army, which is personally presided over by the letter king Zhao Zhen, has a sufficient supply of soldiers.
But starting a war is not a simple matter. Now the situation in the world is complex and intertwined, and it affects the whole body. If the letter Wang Zhaozhen and Liu Guang formally go to war, it is not just a matter between the letter Wang Zhaozhen and Liu Guang. Xia Cheng will definitely not stand on the sidelines, and when Xia Cheng moves, Peng You will move, even Fujian. Fan Ruwei of Lu will not remain silent. Therefore, Xin Wang Zhaozhen must consider carefully before and after this time, and make a complete plan.
Just when the letter king Zhao Zhen discussed with his confidants to send troops to Liu Guang. On the other side of Gangneung City, some ministers from Gangneung are gathering at Zhangshun's Mansion, which is going to pass the sentence. In the council chamber of the inner court of the Tong Sentence Mansion, these ministers who were high on weekdays, but were all seized by the letter king Zhao Zhen, were all gloomy. You look at me and I look at you, but they are I don't know how to speak.
Seeing a group of silent people, Zhang Shun, who was sitting in the first place, couldn't help but sighed secretly. Now that Zhao Yan is so powerful, the power in the hands of their officials and ministers has almost been deprived. Even Zhang Shun's demoted conviction is completely nameless, let alone a soldier. Except for Zhang Shun's family soldiers in his own house, Zhang Shun is afraid that even a soldier in Jiangling City can't be mobilized. The power of the Jiangling officials has long been divided up by the generals arranged by the letter king Zhao Zhen under Zhang Shun. Zhang Shun's current conviction is just an empty frame.
Thinking of his misery, Zhang Shun couldn't help turning his head to look at his friend Zhong Pan sitting in the corner. Although he was emptied, he somewhat retained his reputation as a court official. Zhong Pan is much worse than himself. Zhong Pan said that there is a way to deal with the letter king Zhao Zhen, but before seeing how Zhong Pan acted, the chaos in the southern army camp broke out, and then Zhao Yan played your Majesty with some For inexplicable reasons, Zhong Pan was removed from the party leader and kicked into a vacant position. Since then, Zhong Pan has been devastated. If Zhang Shun hadn't personally invited him as an old friend this time, I'm afraid Zhong Pan would not have come to the sentenced mansion.
And Jiangling’s old ministers almost all ended in this way. All the positions of real power were occupied by the partisans of Xin Wang Zhao Zhen. Now Zhang Shun is powerless even if he wants to deal with Xin Wang Zhao Zhen.
After a long sigh, Zhang Shun broke the deadlock and said to everyone: "Everyone, Zhao Yan is more vicious than the golden man. Now he is playing with the government. I waited for the loyal minister of the Song Dynasty to eat Song Lu for a long time, but couldn't do anything for the Song Dynasty. Being loyal, one by one was deprived of the right to seek fortune for the Song Dynasty. It is really unfortunate for the Song Dynasty. You are all veterans of the Song Dynasty. Can you have a plan to save Song Dynasty from the endangered? Will the world be Qingming?"
"This..." Zhang Shun asked. Everyone in the room was speechless. After looking at each other a few times, all of them had their heads down, bowed their heads without saying a word. These people's wimps made Zhang Shun's heart furious, but not easy to get angry. It was hard to gather all these people who didn't like Zhao Yan. If they were all scolded away, it would be even more troublesome to deal with Zhao Yan.
"Master Zhong." At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded, and a man stood up and bowed his hand to Zhang Shun, but it was Xue Ping, the eldest son of Master Xue, the former Guiyang Army presidential administrator. When Xin Wang Zhao Zhen entered Jiangling, Xue Ping was still the leader, but how could Xin Wang Zhao Zhen leave such an important position to his enemies? A few months ago, he found an excuse and slapped Xue Ping to the end. If it weren't for Xue Ping's father's identity, someone would be cold-hearted if he killed him. I'm afraid that Wang Zhaozhen would have killed him long ago. Now Xue Ping is just an idle little official in Jiangling City, without any real power at all.
Immediately, after Xue Ping saluted Zhang Shun, he turned his head and swept around the crowd, and then said: "Everyone. The national disaster is at the head and half of the country is lost. Then Zhao Yan didn't want to serve the country, but instead gathered people to rebel. After he rebelled, he, His Majesty Longen recruited him to be content with him, and bestowed the official position of Jiedu Envoy. But this servant Zhao Yan deceived the Lord, and his name was Song Chen, but he was really a Song thief. We are all Song ministers, and all of us are Song Lu for a long time. Now that the national crisis is at stake, can’t you stand up and offer suggestions to get rid of ****?"
Although someone responded vocally, Zhang Shun was not very happy. Xue Ping would be so eager to get rid of Zhao Yan. Of course, Zhang Shun knew in his heart that it was not about the country or the king, but simply for his father. revenge. In Zhang Shun's view, this idea of including personal enmity is very undesirable.
Somehow he himself was trying to regain power, and to deal with Zhao Yan was also to seize power. In the event of an eventuality, at least one's life can be preserved. And this kind of person with private hatred is afraid that he will be stupid, regardless of the consequences, I am afraid that cooperation with this kind of person will sooner or later be bad. But helpless, Zhang Shun has no other choice now. As Zhao Yan’s power in Jiangling grows stronger, there are fewer and fewer people on Zhang Shun’s side. In desperation, Zhang Shun will invite Xue Ping to join him. discuss.
Those who can still come to accept Zhang Shun’s invitation at this time are more or less squeezed out, and sincerely want to get rid of Zhao Yan. Now that Xue Ping is starting, these people’s emotions are more or less aroused. .
When Xue Ping saw this situation, he quickly winked at the person next to him. When that person saw this, he also stood up immediately, which was a kind of proclaim. As a child of the Chong family, his ancestor was also a great minister of Song Dynasty, so it was not that simple for the king of letter Zhao Zhen to move him, but the position of Chong Zhaoxuan was not very important, so the king of letter Zhao Zhen simply let him go.
The laissez-faire of the letter king Zhao Zhen did not exchange the slightest gratitude for him. At this moment, the appearance of Zhao Xuan is enough to explain the problem. At the prompt of his friend Xue Ping, Zhong Zhaoxuan also struck the iron while it was hot, stood up and shouted to everyone: "Everyone. Except for Zhao Yan, at the moment of internal and external troubles, I will be usurped by others sooner or later. If you really have reached that point, you are here. What face do you have to meet the ancestors? What face do you have to meet the ancestors?"
He said the righteousness Lingran, but not all the small characters who were easily agitated were present. One person soon said, "Sir. Then Zhao Yan's power has become established and it is deeply rooted here. We must get rid of this. People, I’m afraid it’s not easy. Don’t kill the tiger instead of getting hurt by the tiger."
As soon as these words were said, the atmosphere that had just been stimulated by Xue Ping and Zhong Zhaoxuan was like being poured down by a basin of cold water, and it was cold from the head to the bottom. Xue Ping and Zhong Zhaoxuan were angry in their hearts. They were about to turn their heads to curse, but when they saw the person who was talking, they closed their mouths, but they couldn't say anything about the cursing. Up. For nothing else, the person who spoke this was an old official, and his status was not low, and the two juniors did not have the guts to speak badly to him.
When he saw this person speak, Zhang Shun, who was sitting in the table, raised his brows and folded his hands in a hurry, and said, "So what is your opinion of Lord Song?" Among the crowd, I am afraid that only Zhang Shun can sit on an equal footing with this person. Then, this person succeeded Zhong Pan as Song Wan, who was the post of Master Zhong.
Speaking of Song Wan, that is also an old qualification among Jiangling officials, and Song Wan himself can be regarded as a celebrity in the dynasty, otherwise, the letter king Zhao Zhen would not let him succeed Zhong Pan as the prefect. So Song Wan said, even Xue Ping didn't dare to say anything, he could only shut up obediently.
Hearing Zhang Shun's question, Song Wan shook his head, stroked the gray beard with his hand, and smiled bitterly: "Brother Zhang Shun. This Zhao Yan is so powerful, although you have the heart to eliminate thieves, but you have no military power in your hands. How can I deal with him? Plan and move, Fang Weizhi. Acting impulsively, but seeking death on my own. It doesn’t matter if I die. But if there is no one in the Song Dynasty to eliminate the thieves, wouldn’t it be necessary for the Song Dynasty to have hundreds of years of foundation Destroyed by the dynasty?"
When Song Wan was young, he was a great official in Xinjiang. Unlike most of the children of official families present here, Song Wan obviously had a lot more things to consider. As for what Song Wan said, Zhang Shun naturally understood, but understood. The problem is that if you keep on going like this, it will only increase Zhao Yan's power. Wouldn't it be more difficult to get rid of him in the future
At this moment, Xue Ping couldn't help it. He stood up and shouted: "Everyone, it's the so-called capture of the thieves and the king. Everything happened because of Zhao Yan, so it is better for us to assassinate Zhao Yan. When Zhao Yan died, his party members There will be chaos. At that time, we will recruit your majesty's heavenly army to advance eastward and crusade against the ministers. This place can be cleared, and we can regain power."
Assassinate Zhao Yan? As soon as this thought was uttered, everyone was stunned, staring at Xue Ping not knowing how to answer. Zhang Shun kept sighing, Xue Ping was still too anxious. If Zhao Yan were assassinated so easily, then he would have died more than 800 times. Not to mention that Zhao Yan's guard against Gao was strict, but Zhao Yan herself was also said to be a masterpiece who killed Lei Hongbao alone.
Zhang Shun opened his mouth, originally wanting to oppose Xue Ping's suggestion, but looking at everyone's appearance, he couldn't say it anyway. What's the use of objecting? In addition to Xue Ping’s suggestion, what other solutions can everyone in this room think of? Is it true that as Song Wan said, continue to tolerate and wait for the opportunity? Song Wan's statement is impossible for Zhang Shun to accept. According to the current situation, Xue Ping's proposal can only be a solution.
Of course, there are many people in the audience who have seen through the flaws proposed by Xue Ping, but they all have the same ideas as Zhang Shun. It’s better to try. It’s better than doing nothing. Maybe, it really made Xue Ping a success. Seeing everyone's expressions, Song Wan just shook his head, closed his eyes and said nothing.
Seeing that no one opposed his opinion, Xue Ping almost jumped up with excitement. This idea has been formed in Xue Ping's heart for a long time, but since the death of Master Xue, the three Xue Ping brothers have no backers in Jiangling, and they have no power. They can't find a powerful killer to assassinate Zhao Yan.
And almost everyone in Jiangling City knew that their brothers and Zhao Yan's feud for killing their father, even if Xue Ping had given up his life and wanted to assassinate Zhao Yan himself, it would not be close to Zhao Yan's body. But now it's different. As long as you get the consent of the people here, and with the wealth of these aristocratic families, you want to find a few skilled masters, it is simply a piece of cake. The possibility of assassinating Zhao Yan is much greater.
Afterwards, everyone in the audience began to offer advice and suggestions, and finally agreed that each major family would select more than ten assassins to form an assassination team, which was specifically responsible for assassinating Zhao Yan. As for the time and location of Zhao Yan's assassination, everyone had repeatedly negotiated, and only then finalized the plan.
In the end, Xue Ping bowed his hands to everyone with a smile on his face and said: "Everyone. If Zhao Yan can be removed, it would be equivalent to removing a malignant tumor for the Song Dynasty. In the future, all of you will be worthy officials, and you will stay in the history." Bow down to everyone.
Everyone also got up and greeted Xue Ping one after another, all of them became humble, but looking at their appearance, it seemed that the assassination of Zhao Yan had been successful. The only few people who still look solemn, but do not speak, are afraid that they are the real discerning people.
Now that the plan had been agreed, Xue Pingping people also stood up and left. In a blink of an eye, all the officials and ministers in the hall walked cleanly. Before Song Wan left, he glanced at Zhang Shun and wanted to say something. Zhang Shun smiled bitterly and shook his head at Song Wan, only to hand in hand. Seeing Zhang Shun's appearance, Song Wan shook his head helplessly, and finally turned and left.
"Uh." When Zhang Shun was about to leave the hall when he saw that everyone had already left, he suddenly realized that there was still one person in the hall. When he looked intently, he was a friend who didn't say a word from beginning to end. Zhong Pan. Zhang Shun was confused when he saw Zhong Pan always sitting there motionless. Dang Even walked to Zhong Pan and said to Zhong Pan, "Brother Zhong. Are you okay?"
Hearing Zhang Shun's call, Zhong Pan, who had been sitting there with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, and Zhang Shun's heart trembled with the flickering cold light in his eyes. Immediately, Zhong Pan glanced at the back of the people leaving at the entrance of the hall, but lowered their voices, and said to Zhang Shun: "Brother Zhang Shun. Do you have a secret room here? I have important matters to discuss with Brother Zhang Shun."
Seeing Zhong Pan’s mystery, Zhang Shun couldn’t help but was taken aback, but he quickly recovered, and carefully looked at Zhong Pan’s expression to make sure that Zhong Pan was not talking and laughing, and the expression on his face became more solemn. He nodded and said, "Brother Zhong. Please follow me."
In Jiangling City, a team of people is walking towards the center of the city. This team is not bystander, it is the letter Wang Zhao Zhen who has finished handling military affairs and is ready to return home. At this time, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen pulled the reins and drove the mount back slowly. The soldiers followed closely by Xin Wang Zhao Zhen, and a group of people walked along the busiest street in Gangneung City towards Xin Wang Zhao Zhen’s Jiedu Mansion.
Although there is no brigade to clear the way, no one knows that Wang Xin Zhaozhen is in Gangneung City. The people who originally walked on the street saw Wang Zhao Zhen walking along the street with his soldiers, and they all consciously retreated. On either side, no one would be stupid enough to block the way of the most powerful people in Jiangling City. Therefore, although it is still broad daylight, it is believed that Wang Zhaozhen walked on the street unimpeded.
However, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen did not have the leisure time to consider these issues, but lowered his head to think about what to do next. Although he asked Zhao Gou to say that Liu Guang had committed a crime and tried to rebel, he had already obtained Zhao Gou's affirmative reply and could justify attacking Liu Guang. However, the king of faith, Zhao Zhen, did not believe that, Liu Guanghui gave up resistance and let the king of faith, Zhao Zhen, break through his city regardless.
After this year's rest and reorganization, not only the strength of Xin Wang Zhaozhen, but also Liu Guang's strength has also been greatly improved. Although the last battle of Wugongshan ended with Liu Guangdajun's defeat, at least Liu Guangdajun's combat quality was not much worse than Zhao Jun. It seems that it is not easy to surrender Liu Guangjun!
The reason why Zhao Gou agreed to believe in Wang Zhaozhen, the "Zhao Yan", to beat Liu Guang, was actually not for any reason. Now as long as it is fighting between the rebels, as long as Zhao Gou is given an imperial decree, Zhao Gou agrees. Zhao Gou is now sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight happily. I am afraid that now, even Liu Guang has the imperial decree to attack Zhao Yan issued to him by Zhao Gou.
But it was Xia Cheng, who occupied Fuzhou, who had the most headache for Believe King Zhao Zhen. Xia Cheng is not a fool, he would not have imagined how unfavorable it would be for Liu Guang's site to be annexed by the letter king Zhao Zhen. I am afraid that after Zhao Yan has seized Liu Guang's territory, he will be the next step.
Therefore, Xia Cheng will never sit back and watch Wang Zhaozhen defeat Liu Guang, and it is very likely that he will send troops to help Liu Guang. The problem is that Peng You, who was previously used to contain Xia Cheng, was forced to Jizhou. In the past few months, Zhao Zhen, the king of Hexin, had torn his face and would never try to contain Xia Cheng again.
The letter king Zhao Zhen took a long sigh of relief. It seems that this matter is really not that easy to do. After a few days, Fu Xuan, Ji Qianqian and Wu Gao elders have all arrived in Jiangling, when the letter king Zhao Zhen gathered these top advisers. Let's discuss it again.
"My lord!" Just when Xin Wang Zhao Zhen lowered his head in thought, suddenly a soldier next to him changed his face and shouted loudly.
At the same time, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen also found an abnormality, and his whole body was turned to the side. At this moment, a powerful arrow flew past the face of Xin Wang Zhao Zhen.
"There are assassins. Protect your lord." At this time, the soldiers next to Xinwang Zhao Zhen also reacted quickly. Amidst the shouts of the deputy captain, all the soldiers immediately pulled out their waists. The Sabre surrounded the Xinwang Zhao Zhen who had just fallen to the ground.
