Zhao Kuangyin's sonorous words resounded throughout the hall like a billowing thunder.
There was another brief silence.
In the left column of the hall, the gray-haired veteran of the three dynasties, Tai Changqing Hu Buye, suddenly walked to the center of the hall with a slight tremor, knelt down on the ground, and muttered something in his mouth.
He has muddy old eyes, broken teeth, and slurred speech. Although he exhausted his strength and waved his declining hand, shouting that the blue veins appeared, but it was still a short while before the officials in the hall heard clearly that the old, tearful boss, it turned out that I was repeatedly shouting those two words hoarsely:
"Restore the Central Plains and return me rivers and mountains! Restore the Central Plains and return me rivers and mountains!"
The trickle trickles and eventually merges into a big river.
Finally, the vast majority of the officials were in the golden palace of the Great Song Dynasty, and shouted together like a young man about to go to the battlefield: "Restore the Central Plains, return my rivers and mountains! Restore the Central Plains, return." My rivers and mountains! Restore the Central Plains and return my rivers and mountains..."
Specific to each person, perhaps they are not passionate men, they will take shelter under Qin Hui for their own fame and wealth; they will agree to the Jin-Song peace talks for the sake of long-term safety.
However, under the circumstances, they have forgotten their worries, their calculations, and their official status.
At this moment, they truly felt the impulse, the excitement, and the passionate feeling when the orphan suffering master who was bullied and ruined his family suddenly realized that they were strong enough to claim back their blood debts from their enemies.
No matter how much disguise the reality makes them put on themselves, in essence, they are still great sons of the Song Dynasty!
Qin Hui suddenly put his hands on his chest, his face showing pain. Qin Xi hurriedly stepped forward and supported him.
Zhao Kuangyin said coldly: "Qin Xiang is tired, I will allow you to take a three-month vacation, so that you can stay at home and raise it."
In the impassioned faction, few people actually noticed that Qin Xi helped Qin Hui and left the field somewhat desertedly.
Zhao Kuangyin strolled to Yue Fei's side, watched the distant figure of Jinshi Wanyan Ulu, and sighed softly: "If it weren't for a different stand, Wanyan Ulu wouldn't be a friend to make."
He turned his head and looked at Yue Fei with a smile: "The general is willing to accompany me for a drink?"
Yue Fei met Zhao Kuangyin's eager eyes, but Zhao Kuangyin saw a strong struggle and hesitation in his eyes.
For a long time, Yue Fei fell to the ground: "The minister was reborn after the catastrophe, physically and mentally exhausted, I implore your majesty to take leave for three months!"
He raised his head and said sincerely and hopefully: "The minister is also looking forward to three months from now, the minister, can give your majesty a satisfactory answer!"
Zhao Kuangyin sighed slightly: "As Qing asked."
That unscrupulous descendant of oneself, this capricious "self" before, really hurt the hearts of these famous ministers and generals too deeply.
The fears and doubts in their hearts cannot be dispelled in a moment.
But since it is themselves sitting on the dragon seat now, they will devote their lives to their lives one day.
A smile appeared on Zhao Kuangyin's face.
Regardless of his past and present, he never doubted his strength and vision.
……
In the retro hall of the Imperial City Hall, Zhao Kuangyin looked at Bao Daren who was constantly pulling new official uniforms that didn't fit well. He didn't think he wanted to laugh a bit.
Since that meeting, in the past half a month, many things have been developing for the better, but there are still many problems that have not yet been resolved.
Since the meeting, Qin Hui has always said that he will stay at home when he is sick. Only Qin Xi still went to the temple every day, but never said anything.
However, Qin’s one party has deep roots after all. In these days, although Qin Hui and Qin Xi said nothing, the remonstrative officials continued to write letters, accusing them of neglecting the two saints and not returning to the court, so they went with the Jinren. Recklessly prospering swordsmen is really inconsistent with the Song Dynasty’s rule of filial piety.
What makes him even more headache is that among these Taiwanese officials, there are not all shameless people who are flattering Qin Hui in order to get rich. On the contrary, there are many orthodox scholars who are well versed in Neo-Confucianism. They are not spineless, but Reading too much, and when making judgments about everything in this world, they all follow the old accents in the books, that is, they don't know how to open their eyes to face the reality.
Due to the protection of the oath stele set by himself, the Song Dynasty has supported the people of the Heaven below for more than a hundred years, but it has become like this.
Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help smiling slightly.
Of course, what he is most worried about right now is not these.
Since that day, after returning to the imperial court, it was imperative to fight against the Kingdom of Jin. Therefore, if I want to realize the rhetoric of that day, rectify the army, and actively prepare for war, it is urgent.
As a general who has experienced many battles, he is confident that he can defeat all opponents, but he will never underestimate any opponent, especially the opponent is the big golden cavalry who crosses the world and defeats Song Dynasty.
The most powerful troops in the Song Dynasty were the four iron armies of Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Liu Qi, and Wu Lin. At the moment, except for Han Shizhong, who rushed to the border with his approval and Yue Fei’s approval, to rectify and train himself and Yue Fei’s army, the other two generals were asking them to go to their respective garrisons to prepare for war. Remaining on the table and refusing to obey the edict.
There is no real general who will not be eager to run wild on the battlefield and go straight ahead.
Zhao Kuangyin knew what they were thinking.
Last time I was a shameless offspring, after leaving these famous generals idle, I appointed some incompetent and mediocre people as the commanders of these armies. The invincible iron army that brought them out was messed up and even happened. The incident in which 70,000 soldiers in the northwest were forced to rebel and surrendered to the enemy.
It's no wonder they are feeling disappointed.
Moreover, the gloomy "self" used to work hard to take back the military power from them, but now he suddenly wants them to go back to take over. It is unavoidable that these famous generals will have their imaginations and hearts. Fear.
Since ancient times, how many generals have not died under the enemy's swords and spears, but fallen into the dark arrows of their own people.
Isn't Yue Fei a good example
Based on what this "self" did before, these generals' worries are by no means unfounded.
Of course, he can mobilize the army of the whole country at will, but when the two countries fight, the decisive battle is not only on the battlefield at one time and one place.
With only Yue Fei and Han Shizhong under his command, he has the confidence to repel the 600,000 tigers and wolves in the north of Jiangbei, but without these trustworthy generals, helping himself guard important passes and cooperating with each other, there will be many things, and it is very likely that variables will arise.
Moreover, the most dangerous enemy is not on the north bank of the river, but in the court.
He never believed that Qin Hui would be defeated so easily.
Just above the court of that day, he already felt that Qin Hui's reaction was a little weird.
Although he caused the false news to attract the Jinshi to go to the palace, it was bound to surprise him, but with Qin Hui's old treacherous slip, he would never lose his grounds in such a way.
In some places, Zhao Kuangyin even felt that he was consciously or unconsciously pushing himself towards the direction of war with the Kingdom of Jin.
This scheming guy, hand-controlled the Beijing troops of the Palace Front, Infantry, and Horse Army, and the Imperial City Soldier Ma Si, the entire Lin'an city guard system is controlled by his cronies. In the past, my unscrupulous descendants caused some truly talented people in the DPRK to renounce their morals. If I can't gather the strength of the few prestigious generals in the army, the whole situation will become very passive. At least he was going to be confined to Lin'an imperial city.
Therefore, tapping talents, collecting them for their own use, and building a team that they can absolutely trust is what I need to do most at this stage.
For example, in the trial of Yue Fei's case, the former Yushi Zhong Cheng Hezhu who was reprimanded by Qin Hui for thinking that Yue Fei was improperly guilty.
Such as Bao Daren and Zhan Zhao in front of them.
After the Japanese meeting, several Yushi originally proposed to punish Bao Daren, but Zhao Kuangyin was vague.
He was relieved of Bao Daren's post as the official historian, but appointed him as the living quarters and stayed by his side. Today is the first day this guy takes up his new post.
As for Zhan Zhao, he returned from his injuries after seventeen days, but he refused to be the commander of the third-ranked palace chief. He had to stay by his side and be the fourth-ranked guard, saying that this was his life's wish. With dreams, make myself dumbfounded.
His original intention was to let Zhan Zhao divide Qin Hui's military power in the guard of the capital, but since he was determined to do so, he couldn't help it.
And this is not a bad thing. Some things can't be done too hastily, or you can't do it, or you can uproot it as soon as you do it. At this time, let Zhan Zhao pass, and it would be a bit of a hassle.
Thinking of this, he swiped a glance at Zhan Zhao, who was standing by, only to find that his face was frowned, and there was a look of pain on his face.
Zhao Kuangyin was taken aback, and quickly asked, "Could the Zhan guard have any relapses in his injuries?"
Zhan Zhao didn’t have time to answer, but Bao Daren, who had just finished his new clothes with great difficulty, laughed when he heard Zhao Kuangyin’s words: "Zhan’s guard was in a heartache last night and took him for half a year. Throw your salary to Piaoxiangfang."
Zhan Zhaojun blushed, gave Bao Daren a fierce look, looked at Zhao Kuangyin in a panic, and was speechless for a while.
Zhao Kuangyin knew that Bao Daren and Zhan Zhao were old acquaintances, and laughed dumbfounded: "They are true celebrities, and I can't imagine that Zhan guards are still a flower cherished person.
Bao Daren sneered: "Your Majesty, you too praised him too much. This guy wants to see Murong Ningxue in his dreams, but he can only dream. In order to see that Murong Ningxue, until now, he doesn't know that he has been How much did the three dice in Piaoxiangfang cost, but even the back of Murong Ningxue didn’t even look at him again. What a pity?"
Zhan Zhao was run on by Bao Daren, making his face flushed even more. He looked at Bao Daren fiercely, and yelled, "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb."
"Oh?" Zhao Kuangyin seemed to be interested, turning his face to Zhan Zhao: "What do you see about Murong Ningxue, and what about gambling?"
Bao Daren stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, these are the special rules of Piaoxiangfang. To see Murong Ningxue, one needs to be outstanding in one aspect. For example, Doucha is better than the tea officer of Piaoxiangfang. I have passed the Doctor of Acid Literature at Piaoxiangfang, as well as piano, chess, calligraphy and so on. Unless I can pass these levels, or the guests whom Murong Ningxue personally invites, he will not be able to see Murong Ningxue no matter how much money he has thrown away. On the one hand, in the past few years, the wealthy family in Lin'an City, I don't know how much money has been smashed in these industries of Piaoxiangfang. So far, there are only a dozen people who can really see Murong Ningxue through such a test. "
Zhao Kuangyin frowned secretly. The owner of Piaoxiangfang was really not easy. Such a business method that links Murong Ningxue with the industry of Piaoxiangfang will not only make the subsidiary industries of Piaoxiangfang prosper, but also indirectly increase Murong Ningxue’s sense of mystery, leading more people to flock to it, and it will also make This business can go on for a longer time.
After all, the mentality of men, the less they can get, the more they will cherish it.
Bao Daren looked back at Zhan Zhao with a smirk: "Our Zhan guard, since I met Murong Ningxue at a temple fair one day, he was completely overwhelmed. His martial arts are extraordinary, but Qin, chess, calligraphy and fighting Tea and wine are all incomprehensible, so I had to go to the casino of Piaoxiangfang to challenge the gambling king'Jin Jiuzhi' when I had some spare money on hand. He told me several times that his skill was ten feet. Within the mosquitoes, the gnats can be heard in the ears, and the gambling dice can be said to be handy, but it is a pity... Hehehe..."
Zhao Kuangyin looked at Zhan Zhao: "With the martial arts practice of the Zhan Guardian, you really shouldn't lose so miserably. Could it be that the Zhan Guard has never gambled before?"
Bao Daren thinks that Zhan Zhao is bragging, but he does know that Zhan Zhao’s martial arts has reached the point of imperial qi into a sword, divine and clear. Although he can’t have heavenly eyes and ears as the Buddha said, he has his eyesight. Ears are far sharper than ordinary people, but it is a matter of course.
Even ordinary gamblers, with more hammering practice, many can learn the unique skills of guessing the points from the shaking of the dice, and with the cultivation base of the show, they really should not lose on the dice.
Zhan Zhao saw that Zhao Kuangyin was not blameless, and then relaxed, and said with a bitter expression: "The minister has never gambled before, but in the past few years, he has heard all the major gambling stalls in the north and south, and has never missed it. I just don’t know what's weird in the hands of the'Jin Jiuzhi' from Piaoxiangfang. Every time the minister always planted in his hands, as of yesterday, he had already lost the 17th time."
"Humph", when he talked about this, he couldn't help but feel excited, which was very different from the usual calmness. As he said, he couldn't help but eagerly shake his hands: "But these seventeen times, the minister can figure out something every time. New things come, just wait for the minister to go a few more times..."
There was something wrong with him suddenly, and only then did he realize that this was before the holy driver, and he quickly stopped and raised his eyes, just to hit Zhao Kuangyin's cold gaze.
Zhao Kuangyin suddenly shot the case: "Zhan Zhao, are you worthy of me?!"
Both Zhan Zhao and Bao Daren were taken aback, and they quickly turned over and bowed. Zhan Zhao said: "The minister knows that as the emperor's close minister, he should not indulge in female sex, play with things and lose his ambition. The minister..."
He was also a brave person, but after seeing Zhao Kuangyin’s thunderbolt tricks that day, he unconsciously felt a kind of unspeakable fear of the emperor of Song Dynasty, especially this matter was indeed the first to make a mistake, and he could not help but feel a little panic. .
"In that case," Zhao Kuangyin cut off his words first: "I will give you a chance to break the merits."
"But I don't know." He looked at Zhan Zhao and Bao Daren with a smile on his lips: "Do you know how to cherish it?"
Zhan Zhao raised his eyes and resolutely said: "Your Majesty, but he has his orders, the minister will go through the fire and water, and he will not hesitate."
The emperor's heart was unpredictable, and Bao Daren felt a little regretful for his failure at this time, and he hurriedly said: "The minister is willing to accompany the guards of the exhibition and conquer all the merits and crimes. Regardless of the swords and fires, the minister and the guards of the exhibition advance and retreat together.
Zhao Kuangyin looked at Zhan Zhao and Bao Daren's eyes full of determination, and finally smiled: "It's so good, let's lead the way."
Zhan Zhao and Bao Daren looked at each other, and asked blankly, "I wonder where your Majesty Saint Driver wants to be lucky?"
Zhao Kuangyin flew up and kicked him in the butt: "Go and find a place for you, a bad boy!"
……
Zhan Zhao's eyes brightened, and he looked at Zhao Kuangyin in disbelief.
But Daren Bao first raised his head and cheered: "It's great, I've been here for so long, and finally gave me a chance for public funds corruption."
Zhao Kuangyin was stunned for a moment before he understood the meaning of the new term Bao Daren. He lifted his feet and gave Bao Daren a reward on his ass, and said with a smile: "You want to be beautiful! Huang Yinneibao, everything Minzhimin anointing, how can it be used for your indulgence and gambling?"
Zhan Zhao's smile solidified on his face before it opened, and Bao Daren wore a face: "Your Majesty, it's not cheap to go to Piaoxiangfang to spend money. If you don't give money, where do we get the money."
Zhao Kuangyin said nonchalantly, "Which one said just now that he would go through the fire and water, and he would not hesitate? And which one said that the sword and the sea of fire, advance and retreat together? I feel that no matter how courageous the guard and the bachelor are, they dare not deceive the emperor in person
Zhan Zhao and Bao Daren looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Zhan Zhao whispered: "Old Bao, you know that my salary for half a year has already been paid, you just..."
Bao Daren looked miserable, and sighed: "The poor minister himself couldn't bear to enter the golden nest of Piaoxiangfang once, but he didn't expect that my old Bao had worked so hard and thrifty for half a lifetime. Today, I will be ruined."
Zhao Kuangyin laughed angrily at him, and shouted: "You two boys, the more you talk, the less awkward you are. I'm taking you to get rich, so how come I want to copy your home."
Bao Daren raised his eyes, and the mung bean's small eyes lit up: "Or else the minister will loan your majesty, and the minister will not count your interest..."
