Under the light, Zhao Jiu looked at Xu Jingheng who was talking eloquently, and then turned his eyes to Lu Haowen who looked slightly tired and worried, but he was completely awakened.

"Officials and important ministers say that at this time, he rebelled, but it was just right. He took advantage of this opportunity to send troops to dig out this disease!" Chen Gui, who was born in Hubei, also said it with certainty, and it was rare to be impassioned. "Han Shizhong was in Huaixi, so he directly let him go.

He went south to quell the rebellion, and he could call in a few suitable water generals from Liangshanbo, which would be enough to smooth over the matter."

"Yes, if the Jin people come to attack, he will raise troops, which can be taken seriously, but today's situation is nothing more than scabies!" Xu Jingheng was obviously in a good mood today.

Zhao Jiu nodded slowly and said almost word for word: "The words of these gentlemen today are truly insightful and make me feel like I was slapped. They are really famous and elegant... Yes, when the world's affairs reach a certain level, no one is willing to do it.

, who doesn’t want to do it? Some things are inevitable and we should catch up!”

Seeing such cooperation from the officials, Xu Jingheng twitched his beard with rare satisfaction: "In this case, it is better to officially send Han Shizhong south to quell the rebellion."

"Okay!" Zhao Jiu stood up proudly. "But it involves military affairs and the situation is urgent, so there is no need to stick to the situation... We divided our troops into two groups, one from the capital and the other from the province. The Privy Council issued a decree asking Liu Ji and Ma Shen to

Liu Hongdao and three people organized a rebel army to defend the state capital and try to besiege Prime Minister Zhong. At the same time, I directly issued a decree and asked the Imperial Guard to take him to Han Shizhong on horseback and ask him to set off immediately. He must be as unpredictable as darkness and as powerful as thunder!"

Xu Jingheng hesitated for a moment, but Lu Haowen, who looked tired, simply bowed his head and said, "I think it's okay."

Without waiting for the other princes to respond, Zhao Jiu nodded and simply turned around and left.

Just like that, that night, countless decrees and gold medals were galloping around with countless fast horses. The city gates were not closed overnight, which shocked the whole city.

The next day, we learned that there was a rebellion in the Dongting Lake in the south, and we were finally at peace.

On this day, the welcoming envoy Han Xiaozhou also returned north with the Jin envoy Gao Jingshan.

Two days later, Han Shizhong's army turned to Nanyang as soon as they received the order. Interestingly, there was also movement in other imperial camps. But at this time, the Taihang Mountain side suddenly sent intelligence with all its might, as if desperately trying.

All parts of Hebei have been violently mobilized and mass mobilization has begun!

When the news came, the senior officials in Beijing were panicked for a moment, and even leaked the news, causing turmoil in Tokyo for days. Only Zhao Jiu remained motionless, as usual.

Five or six days later, just when Tokyo was breathing a sigh of relief after martial law was restored, three messages from different directions arrived almost on the same day:

First, at the same time that Meng'an Mouke in the Hebei area began to mobilize, Wanyan Loushi sent troops again after two months. Before the end of March, the West Route Army had no less than 60,000 soldiers and crossed the river out of Yan'an Prefecture.

All states, Danzhou and Danzhou are in emergency... and considering the delay of the news, one of the two states may be gone at this time, or even all of them are gone.

Secondly, the Meng'an Mookes in the Hebei area, who were the core troops of the Jin Kingdom's East Route Army, mobilized and gathered in two directions. Half of them were heading to Damingfu and the other half were heading to Taiyuan. At the same time, the West Route Army

The remaining troops and horses of the army were also mobilized across the board, but they were obviously gathered towards Yan'an in northern Shaanxi.

Third, Han Shizhong, who was supposed to turn to Dongting Lake in the south in Nanyang, suddenly showed a new official purpose to his subordinates when he reached Nanyang, then abandoned Hubei, turned west and headed towards Wuguan, and asked

Nanyang Prefecture deported grain and grass stocks to Kansai through Wuguan. Yan Xiaozhong, who knew Nanyang Prefecture, was dumbfounded. He could only watch Han Shizhong leave while sending a horse to Tokyo to ask... Why did the decree of the provincial and privy councils differ from the central decree?

Of course, at this time in Tokyo, no one cared about Yan Xiaozhong's suspicion, because the two groups of people Yan Xiaozhong wanted to ask, including the officials themselves, had already begun to get fully armed and prepared to go to Luoyang in person. At the same time,

Because of the report from the living man Yu Yunwen, the officials of the Chongwen Academy who had received the news hurriedly gathered together, and then, under the leadership of the four ministers, stopped the Zhao Guan family in front of the Yiyou Gate between the harem and the front palace, and tried to stop the Zhao Guan family.

This time of willful behavior... there is no one in the Chongwen Academy's capital hall to take care of things.

After all, by now, the situation has become very clear. The Jin people used to repatriate the Queen Mother to paralyze Zhao Guan's family, and used the New Year attack to paralyze the people of the world. This time, this time it was simply deliberate, and the army of the country joined forces to go west... 2

Of the 100,000 troops, probably only 50,000 to 60,000 will be used to contain the eastern front, while the remaining 150,000 to 60,000 will be gathered in the Guanzhong area, with the obvious intention of annexing the entire Guanzhong and even Bashu.

How dangerous is such a military strength? The officials left lightly, but what if something unexpected happened?

"I'm just going to Luoyang to take charge." In front of Yiyou Gate, Zhao Jiu was holding his armor and taking some time to rest. Looking at the dozens of important ministers led by the four ministers in front of him, he also burst into laughter for a moment. At the same time, Yang Yizhong and Liu Yan

, Lin Jingmo and other close ministers were all standing inside the door. Looking at it like this, it seemed that someone was waiting here specially. "Why are you doing this, sir?"

"Do the officials think that I will believe it?" Xu Jingheng was furious. "Since the Jin people want to annex Guanzhong, what is the use of the officials in going to Luoyang? What's more, the officials have always regarded the officials as enemies and have made secret preparations for Han Shizhong.

I’m afraid we’ve already arrived at Wuguan, right?”

"How can I regard the ministers as enemies? I regard the ministers who are here today as my confidants!" Zhao Jiu stood on the steps in front of Yiyou's door. He glanced at the people who came in a hurry and couldn't help but shook his head. "Today I

Those who are here are either my close ministers or the important ministers that I promoted from Nanyang... Now in this city, if I can't trust you, I will really have no one to trust!"

Xu Jingheng was also stagnant.

But Wang Boyan took advantage of the situation and stepped forward, saying sincerely: "The officials, since the officials know the loyalty of the ministers, they should also think about it... Going to the front line here is really dangerous!"

"Isn't there nothing we can do?" Zhao Jiu remained calm and unhurried. "If we abandon the Two Rivers, do we have to abandon Guanxi again? If Guanxi is gone, can the Central Plains be preserved?"

Wang Boyan and Xu Jingheng were immediately at a loss for words, and many people simply shed tears. But soon, everyone looked beyond the stereotype of extremely junior seniority and aimed at another husband, the prime minister who had already established considerable prestige.

Lu Hao asked.

Lu Haowen's eyes were red, and he moved forward slowly. He cupped his hands towards Zhao Jiu on the steps in front of Yiyou's door: "Guan family! The battle must be fought, but you alone are responsible for the safety of the world. At this time, we

It is not as desolate as the Mingdao Palace back then. We already have some troops and foundations. Why not leave the Kansai War to Prime Minister Yu Wen and Han Shizhong? In any case, the officials themselves should not take risks anymore..."

"In the past, when Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty conquered the world, he always went out to fight in person." Zhao Jiu shook his head. "If I don't go to the front line, how can I win?"

The words were a bit abrupt. Lu Haowen thought that the other party would quote the reason Qu Duan proposed last time, but he still instinctively refuted it: "The official family cannot be compared with Tang Taizong, right? Throughout the ages, there has been only one Tang Taizong."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Hao asked himself that something seemed wrong.

"This time it's actually not that dangerous. Although the Jin man said what he didn't expect, he did it against the weather. If we can rely on the terrain of northern Shaanxi to delay him for a while, and wait until the summer heat, our army has recharged its energy and strength, and then we can attack again.

It's like Mount Tai has pressed the egg." Zhao Jiu continued to defend, but it sounded a bit arrogant.

"The official family is not Tai..." Lu Haowen almost blurted out.

But before he finished speaking, the current prime minister finally realized that something was wrong with the conversation between the official and him... The official was deliberately using a dialogue in "Feng Dao Zhuan" to induce him.

The "Feng Dao Biography" is exactly where the dog-eared page of the "New History of the Five Dynasties" was given to him by Zhao Guan's family.

After trying to understand what was going on, Lu Haowen smiled more and more helplessly: "Are the officials comparing themselves to Zhou Shizong? Or do they regard the minister as Feng Dao?"

Not only Lu Haowen, but also all the ministers who rushed to Yanfu Palace after hearing the news today were not well-educated people. Even the youngest Yu Yunwen was also a Jinshi, so everyone woke up one after another... The officials and the Prime Minister had no idea.

I was studying the words of Zhou Shizong Chai Rong and Feng Dao before the decisive battle with Khitan in "New History of the Five Dynasties".

Among them, Zhao Guanjia learned from Zhou Shizong Chai Rong, who was also the inducer, while Lu Haowen was regarded as Feng Dao.

However, after they figured it out, everyone looked even worse.

After all, although Zhou Shizong won that battle and set the foundation for the later Zhou Dynasty, the fate of the two people in the story was not very auspicious... Not only did Feng Dao have a very bad reputation, he died directly after this battle.

There is no need to say more about Chai Rong’s result.

Back in front of him, Zhao Jiu sighed when he saw Lu Haowen waking up, but then he took two steps forward and went down the two steps, and held Lu Haowen's hand with his hand, and then said to him sincerely: "Mr. Lu

, I regard you as Feng Dao, but I regard myself as Shi Jingtang, the great ancestor of the later Jin Dynasty..."

Everyone froze for a moment, confused for a moment, but Lu Haowen swayed slightly and fell into a trance.

But soon, other ministers who were familiar with the allusions also woke up and became frightened or suspicious. However, among the frightened and suspicious, some people were actually surprised.

Let's say that Feng Dao served as an official for ten emperors, including Shi Jingtang, the emperor of the later Jin Dynasty. The most famous allusion between Shi Jingtang and Feng Dao is the matter of Shi Jingtang's entrustment to an orphan before his death... Although Shi Jingtang was a famous son-emperor, he also

He was probably the emperor who respected and trusted Feng Dao the most. When he was alive, he entrusted all government affairs to Feng Dao. When he died, he even gave his infant son to Feng Dao as an orphan.

Feng Dao took over Shi Jingtang's son and agreed to the other party's entrustment. However, when Shi Jingtang left, he turned around and appointed Shi Jingtang's adult nephew in the name of "Guolai Changjun".

"I read "New History of the Five Dynasties" and felt that Ouyang Xiu's literary talent was really outstanding, but other aspects were too inferior... For example, when Shi Jingtang left Feng Dao alone, Ouyang Yongshu ridiculed Feng Dao for being unfaithful.

No virtue." Zhao Jiu held Lu Haowen's hand and spoke eloquently. When he said this, he suddenly chuckled. "I didn't have deep feelings about this kind of thing before, and I even felt that Feng Dao had let Shi Jingtang down a bit, but

After I came back this time and learned that Concubine Pan was pregnant, when I could barely call myself a father, I suddenly realized that Feng Dao was really devoting all his efforts to repay Shi Jingtang for his kindness! And Shi Jingtang

He didn't say a word before he died, but only let his youngest son be carried to Feng Dao. He was not asking for the throne for his youngest son. That was not what a father should do! Because with the chaos of the Five Dynasties, he forcibly supported an infant.

Didn't you send him to die as a child? But Feng Dao's behavior truly lived up to Shi Jingtang's intention to care for the orphan. In fact, if I remember correctly, Shi Jingtang's son lived well until the fall of the Later Jin Dynasty, and he died of illness at all."

"The official..." Lu Haowen burst into tears for a moment, as if he had already guessed what Zhao Jiu meant.

"Ms. Lu, gentlemen." Zhao Jiu continued to hold Lu Haowen's hand, but suddenly turned to the important ministers and responded solemnly. "Let me have a word with you today...I am here to treat you specially."

Yes, I am not so concerned about leaving without making any military arrangements, let alone treating you, my trusted ministers, as nothing."

Everyone was speechless, as if they had already realized this, and more and more people began to cry like Lu Haowen.

"Since I am a confidant, I have something to say. Although I know that I will annoy you if I say it, if I can't say it to you, I won't be willing to do it even if I die." Zhao Jiu looked at these people with rare sincerity. "You should have seen it earlier.

, I hate the two saints! But I especially hate the Taishang Daojun Emperor! Because in Jingkang, he abandoned all the people as the emperor, abandoned his ministers as the king, abandoned his son as his father, and abandoned his wife as his husband! He really should not be a king, a father, or a husband.

! But the more I hate him, the less I can make the same mistake again now... You think, how can I openly abandon tens of millions of people in Kansai when I will have children? This is how I will live in peace in the future.

What do the heirs think of me? How could I really abandon you without saying a word? This time, it is the same as before, there are reasons why I have to go!"

If the first half of these words were said in the court, all the civil and military officials in the court would probably have no choice but to abandon their official positions and leave... But today, in terms of father and son, the urgent military situation ahead, and the news that Concubine Pan is pregnant

, and the sincere attitude of the official family, especially considering the special status of Zhao Guanjia as a son and a father, it seems to be rebellious and a little more humane.

It was enough to prevent these important ministers from saying anything blaming in the first place.

But even so, everyone, including Yang Yizhong, Lin Jingmo, Liu Yan and other instigators who were hiding behind Yiyou Gate, all bowed their heads and pretended not to hear anything.

"Lv Xianggong." Zhao Jiu finally turned to Lu Haowen and called him Xianggong. Then the words came out of his mouth, but he still said it again. It was obvious that he was not just explaining to Lu Haowen. "To tell you the truth, this battle,

I went to set the front line today, because there is no way to avoid this battle, but as you said, this battle is dangerous! As for us kings and ministers, I have only one request for you... that is, in case something happens to me, and Pan

The concubine has given birth to a prince again. I also ask you not to imitate Zhuge Wuhou, but to deal with this child like Feng Dao... In the name of the Queen Mother, and on the grounds of Kunyori Changjun, from the sons of Da Zongzheng

If you choose a decent person to be the emperor, call Li Gang as the prime minister, and use Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Zhang Rong, and Li Yanxian, the country may not be unable to recover. As for my children, please bring them together, mother and son.

Take it to the southeast and become a free clan... In this way, even if I, Zhao Jiu, die, I will still be grateful! Not to mention that we, the king and his ministers, will not be in vain!"

As he said that, Zhao Jiu held Lu Haowen's hand and bowed in salute.
