In a simple and elegant decorative room, the copper stove is baked with pieces of Dragon Dan fragrance worth ten thousand yuan, and the room is full of fragrance, which is intoxicating. Next to the copper stove is a smooth and shiny sandalwood couch, and there is a person lying on it, holding a white jade porcelain cup in one hand and a book in the other hand. He nodded while reading, as if he made a low chants.

A young man in front of the couch, who was tall and slightly dark in his face, about twenty-six or seven years old, stood with his hands down. It was Chen Bingxuan who had just returned from Zhao Lie Mansion. His eyelids were slightly raised from time to time. From his perspective, he could only see the person on the couch holding the book with excellent care.

It was not until the person on the couch gently paused the teacup on the desk and the oh chanting stopped, Chen Bingxuan took a step forward and bowed with his sleeves: "Father Zhong, the matter is done."

The man on the couch put down his hand holding the book and showed his true face - it was Chen Yizhong, the left prime minister of the Song Dynasty.

Chen Yizhong's brothers were three, and he did two, so Chen Bingxuan was called Zhongfu.

Chen Yizhong put down the book in his hand, his mind was leisurely, his eyelids slightly raised, and then he lowered: "Bingxuan seems to have something that has not finished."

Chen Bingxuan bowed again after hearing this: "Zhong's father was wise and his nephew just felt that Zhao Liya's drunkenness was not about wine."

Chen Yizhong slowly sat up from the couch, cross-legged and frowned, and said lightly: "Tell me."

"One, the things Zhao Liya bought during this trip were nothing more than red nitrification and sulfur. This was used to make gunpowder. Why do he need so many things to attract fire in his army? If it was used to create thunder and thunder, his army had only three or four hundred people, so why did he need to prepare so many? Second, the person he sent to the head of Champa was just a half-despicable man from Yizhouzi, and it was difficult to enter the elegant hall. From this, it can be inferred that Zhao Liya did not use purchasing as a shovel in this trip, but in fact, to borrow the power of my Chen family to find a business road."

Chen Bingxuan was not making big statements. Chen Yizhong had planned to go south to Chameng, so he naturally would not be unprepared. He sent his nephew Chen Bingxuan to Chameng to buy land and build a village in advance, understand the people and scenery of Chameng, and set up a good relationship with local officials. It is precisely for this reason that Zhao Lie asked Wang Ping'an to accompany him.

Chen Yizhong slowly picked up the teacup and drank it: "Is there any more?"

Chen Bingxuan was puzzled: "It's so strange. Why don't he have to bow and arrows, but he prefers gunpowder so much?"

Chen Yizhong has always been very agile in observing people and things, but he couldn't see through Zhao Lie's actions. He pondered for a while but couldn't get the point. He only said: "It is said that his Dragon Que Army is mostly based on the Zhongshun Army of the Jiang family. I have seen the White Guard of the Zhongshun Army in Daozhai (Jiang Jin). He is quite elite and brave. I must be brave and dare to fight the enemy in close combat."

Chen Bingxuan also sincerely praised: "Only this brave man can attack Jiyang at night and capture horse thieves alive."

If the White Guards heard Chen Bingxuan say this, they would be ashamed of being ashamed. That night's attack had no share in them, but a group of teenagers. Because Zhao Lie was vague about the specific details of the night attack, many people didn't know who the participants in the night attack were. The most elite and famous one in the Dragon Que Army was the White Guard. In the era of Jiang Jin, the leader of the Zhongshun Army, the White Guard was quite famous, so everyone took it for granted that it must be the White Guards to fight.

"It's even more and more a pity," Chen Yizhong sighed slightly, "The foundation left by Daozhai is probably going to be refracted!"

Chen Bingxuan said in surprise: "Why did Zhong Father say this?"

"The military discussion in the hall has been completed, and the memorial has been sent to the Prime Minister's Office." Chen Yizhong sipped another sip of tea and said, "The original military discussion should not be told to you, but now it is different from the past. This small Yacheng cannot contain any secrets. You will know in a few days--Zhang Gongbi decided to conquer Wan'an's army in person, and Zhao Liya has already requested himself to be the vanguard."

Chen Bingxuan widened his eyes. Wan'an Army had more than 2,000 Yuan soldiers. How many Dragon Que Army was? It was more than 300. The troops were so disparate. Even if the White Guard was brave enough, how many nails could he make? This vanguard officer was simply a life-hunting official, either urging his own life or his subordinates' lives.

Zhao Liya is a royal family that all ministers are optimistic about. Taking such a life-threatening job shows his loyalty and courage, but after all, it is too dangerous and there is no explanation in the palace?

Chen Bingxuan thought for a while and asked carefully: "Where is the Empress Dowager..."

Chen Yizhong sighed slightly: "The Empress Dowager no longer cares about the government affairs, but only burns incense and prays every day. All temples around him worship, even those temples (chapels) have gone. The middle-class affairs are based on the Yang brothers. Yang Liangjie has always been good at it. He had a dispute with King Sixiu before, so he went north to meet the enemy, so it was difficult for King Xiu to have a family. Zhao Liya returned this time, how could Yang Liangjie not beware of it? I guess he would be passing by the Empress Dowager... If I expected it, Zhao Liya was the pioneer this time and also had the power of Yang Liangjie's secret push..."

Chen Bingxuan opened his mouth slightly, lost his mind for a while, his expression was a little complicated, and he wanted to speak but stopped.

What a person Chen Yizhong was like? I immediately guessed what my nephew wanted to say, shook his head slightly and indicated that there was no need to say much.

Chen Bingxuan immediately shut up his mouth. Emperors and queens of all generations were afraid of their subordinates talking about the crown prince. Even if they were uncles and nephews, they had to be very cautious when they were chatting.

At this moment, the uncle and nephew both thought at the same time that if Zhao Liya was just a young boy, things would be simple. What a pity...

...

"I wish my brother Zhongping to be honored as the judge of Xindi Port of Yazhou (City) Maritime Shipping Department."

It was still in that house, Wang Ping'an's position had been replaced by Ma Nanchun. Zhao Liezheng congratulated Ma Nanchun with a spring breeze, but he did not mention Ma Nanchun's other higher position promotion, the Privy Council, but he did not mention it.

The reason is very simple. Privy Council is equivalent to the Secretary-General of the Ministry of National Defense. If it had been more than ten years ago, this position that could have access to the central military secrets was still quite popular. But now, it is different from the past. It is just like a small town as big as a sparrow, a swaying small town, and there is no military secret at all. It is just a position.

It is completely different to be promoted to the judge of the New Port of Yazhou Maritime Port. This is a fat lack. Zhao Lie did not want to divide this delicious cake, but to conveniently obtain various supplies, he had to control one of the three ports of Yacheng.

The chief of the Maritime Mansion Department is the title of Maritime Mansion Commander and the deputy title of Judge. The judge of the Xindi Port was also the one who took the initiative to undertake the most difficult tasks - the conditions for the vanguard to attack the Wan'an army.

Chen Yizhong guessed correctly. There are many people who divide this cake. If you want to seize food from the powerful and powerful court, you have to pay a price. Now the power in the court is divided into three factions: the foreign relatives faction, represented by Yang Liangjie and his son; the general faction, represented by Zhang Shijie and Su Liuyi; the powerful minister faction, represented by Wen Tianxiang, Chen Yizhong and Zeng Yuanzi. These three factions are just divided into three ports, and the first position of the patrol envoy is not others. The second and third-level forces below can only compete for the position of judges.

Zhao Lie received support from the powerful ministers, and the generals did not support or objected. Only the relatives of the foreigners had an ambiguous attitude and was ambiguous. In the end, Zhao Lie took the vanguard's attack on the Wan'an army as a condition to get Yang Liangjie's acquiescent approval.

Ma Nanchun looked ashamed: "I want to let Li Ji take the risk."

Zhao Lie waved his hand indifferently: "It's okay, I don't want to stay here anyway."

Ma Nanchun deeply agreed: "It's right. If you have a bad reputation, you should go and avoid it and find another foundation. Wan'an Army is a place to stand."
