Chapter 77 The Boundless Spring (1)
Chapter 77 The endless spring scenery (1)
Soon, Wen Tianxiang led dozens of personal guards to arrive hurriedly.
At this time, Wen Tianxiang was forty-three years old, with short beards on his chin, as elegant as jade. When he saw Zhao Dongting, he bowed and said, "My dear Wen Tianxiang, I bowed to the emperor."
Zhao Dongting opened his eyes and saw the historical celebrity. He hurriedly went up to help him up and said, "Prime Minister Wen, please give up the gift."
He has never seen Wen Tianxiang, but he can leave behind such poems as "No one has ever died since ancient times, but he will leave his loyalty to shine in history..." is definitely a loyal and brave man.
Wen Tianxiang couldn't afford it and said, "I came late to save the emperor, so I would like to punish him."
"Where is this?"
Zhao Dongting chuckled and said, "The Prime Minister is coming just the right time."
Finally, he asked again: "By the way, how about Leizhou?"
Wen Tianxiang replied: "After receiving the emperor's secret order, I hurriedly led my army from Huizhou to recruit the defenders of various counties along the coast of Leizhou last night. Now 10,000 soldiers are left to guard Haikang County."
"good!"
Zhao Dongting couldn't help but clap again, "Prime Minister Wen has made great contributions to my Song Dynasty this time, and I will reward you very much."
Wen Tianxiang said: "It is all the merits of the soldiers, and I am ashamed of them."
"Everyone will be rewarded, everybody will be rewarded."
Zhao Dongting smiled and pulled Wen Tianxiang up, held his hand and said, "Let's go, the Prime Minister follow me to the Political Affairs Hall!"
Wen Tianxiang was moved when he saw the emperor being so close to him, and almost burst into tears.
His encounters in the Southern Song Dynasty were extremely tortuous. He served in Lin'an when Emperor Gong of Song Dynasty Zhao Xian was reigned.
At that time, Empress Dowager Xie was in charge of the government, and it was Wen Tianxiang who proposed to confer the title of King Ji Zhao Ying as King Yi, and the position of King Fuzhou, King Xin Zhao Bing as King Guang, and the position of Quanzhou. Only then could the royal family of the Southern Song Dynasty retain these two bloodlines. Otherwise, there would not be the current Zhao Dongting.
But later, Empress Dowager Xie firmly believed in the words of the Left Prime Minister Chen Yizhong, and wanted to run away and surrender, and was unsteady.
When Yuan general Boyan led his army to siege the city, Chen Yizhong sent the supervisory envoy Yang Yingkui with the imperial seal and surrender to announce his unconditional surrender to the Yuan Dynasty.
But Chen Yizhong himself ran away secretly.
In this case, Wen Tianxiang was appointed as the right prime minister by Empress Dowager Xie, but his mission was to go to the Yuan Dynasty camp with the new left prime minister Wu Jian to ask Boyan to accept the surrender of the Southern Song Dynasty.
This promotion made Wen Tianxiang angry.
He was resolute and refused to compromise. He ran to the Yuan army camp not only but did not surrender, but also criticized the actions of the Yuan army.
At this time, he was actually determined to die.
But Boyan did not kill him, but imprisoned him in the Yuan Dynasty military camp.
Then, Empress Dowager Xie led people to surrender, and Wen Tianxiang was taken to the capital of the Yuan Dynasty.
Among them, the surrendered general Fan Wenhu was sent by Boyan to pursue Zhao Xian and Zhao Bing, and was stopped by his son-in-law Yang Zhen, and captured Yang Zhen.
It was also retribution. He followed Zhang Hongfan to attack Benzhou Island and asked for orders to surrender, but was killed on the spot by Zhao Dongting, which was also considered to have avenged Yang Zhen.
Later, Wen Tianxiang fled from the Yuan army at night, and after several twists and turns, he pulled up the anti-Yuan troops.
He heard that Zhao Xian and Zhao Sheng were not dead, and were in Fuzhou. They chased Fuzhou and were appointed as the right prime minister and the privy envoy, commanding all the troops.
I thought I could always express my ambitions now and take the Yuan Dynasty and restore the Song Dynasty, but I was excluded by Chen Yizhong and Zhang Shijie.
Chen Yizhong is also a talented person. He fled twice before the battle and was even more valued by the Southern Song court.
In fact, Zhao Dongting didn't like Zhang Shijie when he just came here because he saw in history books that he and Chen Yizhong excluded Wen Tianxiang.
Wen Tianxiang failed to do two people and was squeezed out of Fuzhou and sent to Jiangxi.
But he was not discouraged. He pulled up the anti-Yuan troops in Jiangxi, fought against the Yuan army, and regained many places one after another.
Later, when he learned that the Yuan general Ali Hague suppressed Hunan and Guangxi, he hurriedly led his army to Huizhou, Guangdong, to support Guangxi by sea, so as not to fall into a siege on the Southern Song Dynasty court on the island of Benzhou. It was here that he received a letter from Zhao Dongting asking him to send troops to Leizhou to prevent Ge Lijun from rebelling, and told him that if Ge Lijun rebelled, he would take the opportunity to take Leizhou.
He didn't care about Guangxi and hurriedly led his army to Leizhou by sea.
This happened to happen that Ge Lijun led his army to attack the island.
Wen Tianxiang first took down the coastal counties according to Zhao Dongting's secret order, and then went straight to Benzhou Island.
He was full of Song, but he was repeatedly rejected. Now, he was held by the little emperor as soon as he arrived, and was very close to him, and his heart was naturally moved.
Zhao Dongting knew about Wen Tianxiang’s experience and character in history books, so he naturally trusted and admired him very much.
He took his ministers and Wen Tianxiang to the Political Consultative Hall, but he refused to let Wen Tianxiang go, and forced Wen Tianxiang to sit on the dragon bed with him.
This made Wen Tianxiang feel even more grateful.
Zhang Shijie brought people in to report the results of the battle. Seeing this scene, his face changed slightly.
But he didn't say anything, just nodded at Wen Tianxiang, and then said, "Emperor, all the enemy troops are killed, but the Feitian Army and the Weiwu Army in Leizhou are still fighting at the foot of the mountain. Please decide."
Zhao Dongting waved his hand, "Lead the army to help the Flying Army, and be sure to completely destroy the mighty army!"
"As for your order!"
Zhang Shijie was so upset when he saw Wen Tianxiang being so favored. He didn't want to look at him anymore, so he took the order and turned around and left.
He originally wanted to repay some results, but now he is too lazy to say it.
Wen Tianxiang knew Zhang Shijie's personality, and glanced at his face just now and said softly: "Your Majesty, I'd better go and stand down!"
Zhao Dongting asked softly: "Are you afraid that Zhang Shijie will be jealous?"
Wen Tianxiang was silent. He was full of sages and did not like to chew people's tongue behind his back.
Zhao Dongting said to himself: "I want to govern these thoughts of him. My Song Dynasty is about to perish, and he still has the intention to fight with the court officials."
Wen Tianxiang was shocked when he heard this, so he naturally never expected that the little emperor's mind would be so deep.
How could this be like something a child could say?
After Zhao Dongting said this, he smiled again. He didn't think there was anything wrong with his words. Anyway, the ministers on the island of Zhuzhou have become accustomed to it.
After a while, Yue Peng and Su Quandang ran to the Political Consultative Hall happily.
The two had a holiday before, but after two major battles, their relationship is now quite good. They can always hone their lives on the battlefield.
When Yue Peng entered the hall, he shouted: "Emperor, great victory, great victory, all the enemy troops have been killed! Haha!"
Zhao Dongting looked at him with blood and was still amused and laughed and said angrily: "When will your impetuous personality change? Learn more from General Su."
