Chapter Eighty-One
"Your Highness doesn't know anything. Actually, I didn't want to blow A Guda to death, because he has not been in good health recently. I'm afraid he won't live long. He originally had to go back to cultivate after this battle. I never thought that he suddenly walked out with Wu Qimai. There was no way, so I could only send them to the West together."
After Gongsun Sheng reported to Zhao Yu, he did not forget to say "Wuliang Tianzun" to show his apology to Aguda.
As soon as Yelu Min left, Gongsun Sheng came to him. This matter was planned and implemented by him personally, so of course he would describe it much more in detail than Yelu Min.
After hearing this, Zhao Yu stood up without saying a word and bowed deeply to Gongsun Sheng, saying seriously: "The Taoist priest's actions have benefited countless people in the world. Please accept my worship."
Anyone who understands history knows that the Jurchens actually grew and grew stronger under the management of Wu Qimai, so his death truly eliminated the great troubles of the Song Dynasty.
Gongsun Sheng bowed his head and returned the greeting, and smiled and said, "Your Highness has been born, and of course the way of heaven has changed. What I did is just to follow the will of heaven. You should not give up the word "Thank you"
Gongsun Sheng's words made Zhao Yu's heart skip a beat, and he intuition told him that this silly old Taoist would probably see that he was a fake guy who was occupying the nest.
Gongsun Sheng seemed to have not noticed the change in Zhao Yu's heart and continued, "What are your plans for the next one?"
When Zhao Yu heard Gongsun Sheng ask, he subconsciously looked around and saw Gongsun Sheng. He did not let Xiao Yiyi come out. No matter how good the couple is, they cannot let each other know anything.
"I guess Emperor Tianzuo won't let me stay in Youzhou for too long, so I must hurry up and do something to truly develop the Land of Yanyun."
"If Your Highness thinks this, I will feel relieved. What else does Your Highness want me to do?"
"The Taoist priest is leaving, right?"
There were too few people around Zhao Yu. Seeing that Gongsun Sheng seemed to leave, his face immediately became mournful.
"Thank you for your kindness. I am a monk and it is not convenient to come forward for some things, so I plan to help Your Highness do something in secret."
Gongsun Sheng ignored Zhao Yu's intention to keep him and said with a hypocritical look on his face.
This old Taoist is so shameless, and it is not convenient for monks to come forward, as if you have done less murder and arson?
Seeing that Gongsun Sheng had decided to leave, Zhao Yu nodded and said, "I am about to start recruiting troops, and I urgently need talents to command troops. If the Taoist priest has time, he might as well pay more attention to me."
Now Lin Chong, Wu Song and Lu Zhishen are all coaches of Fei Xiong Jun, but these three people are obviously far from enough. If you want to completely control the army, you must need more military talents.
After seeing off Gongsun Sheng, Zhao Yu came to Youzhou General's Mansion with Yan Qing, which would be his temporary residence, and a craftsman was hanging the plaque of Youzhou General Administration.
Compared with the title of King Song, Zhao Yu obviously prefers the position of Youzhou General Manager.
The order to convene the heads of the prefectures and counties has been issued. If the new officials take office, some things must be implemented as soon as possible.
Because the war in the north is tight, most of the troops in Yanyun area have been evacuated. Now the remaining troops are only more than 20,000, and many of them are still old and weak.
The recruitment notice has been sent out, but the effect is not good at present. There are many candidates and their physical fitness is not good. Judging from their appearance, they look more like they are here to make a living.
The recruitment was in charge of Yelu Huan. Zhao Yu had already told him that he would rather be short than to be too bad. He wanted soldiers instead of cystics who were waiting to die.
Because of the sudden death of a group of senior Jurchen officials such as Wanyan Aguda, the Liao Kingdom had already shown a scene of rejuvenation. The generals and officials also smiled a lot, and they were extremely hardworking in doing things.
Zhao Yu has not planned to interfere in the recruitment matter yet. The first thing he has to do is to count how many assets there are in Youzhou...
In Tokyo, Bianliang, the surging rebellions in various places have caused the city of Bianliang to be in a panic.
When Fang La started to rebel, no one took it seriously, thinking that it was just a small fight and could easily solve it with local soldiers.
But no one expected that the rebellion in Jiangnan would sweep across Jiangnan in a very short time. Not only that, Song Jiang, who had wandered to Shandong, also occupied Liangshan and provoked the anti-bank. Jia Jin and Tao Jun, Hebei, initiated an incident in Xiangzhou...
It was not until this moment that the king and minister of the Song Dynasty were shocked to discover that the so-called peace in the world had already been full of holes.
The atmosphere in the Golden Palace was extremely depressing. The furious Emperor Huizong had already cut off the heads of the two censors. Now everyone is in danger and no one dares to talk nonsense.
"Why don't you stop talking? Are you usually very good at speaking?"
The current situation is that if you say too much, you will be guilty, but if you don’t say it, it’s still a problem.
"Crown Prince, you are the crown prince of the country. What should you do?"
This kid has no vision at all, so you can come out and handle it at the critical moment!
Hearing the dark voice of his father, Zhao Huan couldn't help but tremble, quickly flashed out, bowed and replied, "The wise and wise are not as good as the father's emperor, no matter what the son minister has, he is not as smart as the father's emperor's idea."
"Of course I have a way. I want to hear you now, not wanting you to flatter me."
Emperor Huizong was really anxious. All the civil and military officials of the court were there, and they did not give Zhao Huan any face.
Zhao Huan's little face turned into a pig's liver by his father. He pondered slightly and said, "The soldiers come and the generals come and the water comes and the soil comes and covers the soil. I am a million armored person in the Song Dynasty. It is not enough to worry about me. My father only needs to issue an order to make strict precautions in all places, and at the same time, he will transfer Tong Guan to temporarily give up and give up the Northern Expedition..."
Zhao Huan's last sentence became lower and lower his voice. He knew very well that the Northern Expedition was no longer a battle, but also involved the interests of many people. At the same time, the recovery of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun was also the dream of the previous emperors. Now that he proposed not to fight, he would definitely offend many people, but he really couldn't think of any other way.
Liang Shicheng was the first person to advocate the Northern Expedition, and he also wanted to use this method to help Zhao Huan control military power, but he didn't expect that before he could do anything, Zhao Huan himself got diarrhea first.
However, although Liang Shicheng was dissatisfied, he could ask him to do bad things and come up with bad ideas. He was really irritated when it was a military and national affairs.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Huan finished speaking, Emperor Huizong's old face sank, but before he could scold his son, another voice sounded under the jade steps.
"I'll report to Your Majesty, and the old minister thinks that the prince's words are inappropriate."
Emperor Huizong looked at him and saw clearly the person who was talking. He was stunned. It turned out that the person who spoke was Li Gang, the prince's teacher.
This old man is a firm supporter of the prince and is very upright. He has always disliked Liang Shicheng and others the most.
Emperor Huizong has a bad character, but he also admires this Mr. Li who even dares to contradict him.
Now Li Gang openly refuted the prince in the court, and the civil and military officials, including the emperor, could not help but have an idea in his mind. Could this old man have not woken up yet?
"Your Majesty forgives the crime. The old minister actually wants to say that the inappropriate thing about the prince is that the bandits in various places are not worth mentioning. It is imperative to transfer Tong Guan's army to suppress the rebellion, but the Northern Expedition must not be delayed. Therefore, the old minister dared to suggest that the court can change the way for the Northern Expedition? After all, the current Youzhou General Manager is the eighth prince who the Empress loves the most."
After hearing Li Gang's words, the court suddenly became strangely quiet...
