Chapter 228: Big conspiracy? Although Taixuzi has recovered, he still needs to be wrapped up in bed. The doctor and Ouyang said privately that they might get the root cause of the disease, which may be detrimental to future sexual intercourse, so they need to slowly get things sorted out in a year or two. Life is really full of misunderstandings, Ouyang sighed and gave Taixuzi a bowl of ginger soup to drink. Taixuzi wrapped himself tightly in quilt and asked, "Can you add some fire?" "Yes," Ouyang replied. "Then add it." "Please, I am the sixth-rank magistrate and an official of the imperial court. How can I do such a menial job? It's insulting to the gentlemen. Let's wait until the servant comes back." Tai Xuzi was dissatisfied: "You don't have to do this to me, right? Anyway, I'll give you a break in the Kingdom of Jin." Ouyang said, "Who asked you to touch my maid's hand is not serious." "Nonsense." Taixuzi said righteously, "I'm doing something serious." "It depends on the marriage." "" Ouyang changed the subject and asked, "Why did you come to the Song Dynasty?" "Don't mention it," Tai Xuzi said mysteriously, "I'll tell you a big secret." "Did Wanyan Agu be beaten to death?" "How do you know?" Tai Xuzi said in shock: "As far as I know, there are not more than five people who are still alive who know this secret. Even I knew it accidentally." Ouyang ignored him and asked: "What does this have to do with you coming to Yangping?" "Wanyan Wu Qimai has his own national teacher. I think Jin Guoqiong is fine, and he rejects a decent demi-god like me. I really don't mess around, so I came to the Song Dynasty to ask for a meal from you." "Is the Kingdom of Jin really that poor?" Tai Xuzi said: "The people below are poor, but the people above are certainly not poor. Even the palace is more generous than yours. But Wu Qimai himself is very frugal. . And he is very good at doing agriculture. He has been sending envoys to various places to persuade farmers. "Ouyang asked: "How about Xue Bing?" You don¡¯t have to run away from the Kingdom of Jin like a thief. Fortunately, I met you at the Hangzhou Fleet dock and let me board the ship. What kind of friends have you made?¡± Ouyang asked in surprise: ¡°What¡¯s so exaggerated? , the national master ran at night. Taixuzi said: "Xue Bing used his face and my face, and he actually found out a huge secret." Ouyang gave a middle finger and asked: "Is Wanyan Agu ascending to heaven?" I didn't think too much. Xuzi swatted Ouyang's hand away and shook his head seriously: "No" "Ah?" Ouyang asked quickly: "What is that?" "I don't know." Seeing that Ouyang was about to beat him up, Tai Xuzi hurriedly explained: "Xue Bing sneaked into the palace. Inside, he entered Wu Qimai's study. Then he was discovered and the palace guards surrounded him. He shouted: If you dare to kill me, the letter will be leaked. That day, the palace was dug up to find the stolen letter. Not found. One day later, Wu Qimai became suspicious, and the old man was too kind, so he left a letter and ran away. "Taixuzi burst into tears, deeply regretting making the wrong friend. "What letter?" "I told Wu Qimai that the letter is in my hand. As long as Xue Bing is fine, I will not make the letter public. If Xue Bing dies, hum Actually, I don't know the letter. In order to save that kid I can only be his ally." Tai Xuzi lamented: "I didn't expect that a person like me, who values ????love and righteousness, would come all the way and be pushed into the water by someone at this season. "Haha, look what you said. I'll go and give you some charcoal right now." Although Tai Xuzi said something wrong, Ouyang knew what he said was true. Now we have to find a way to get Xue Bing out. After lighting up the fire and serving Taixuzi for a bowl of wine, Taixuzi said with satisfaction: "Actually, don't underestimate the Jin Kingdom. It is still very powerful. It may be weaker than the Song Dynasty, but the old Taoist feels that it is stronger than the Liao Dynasty. Especially after Wu Qimai abandoned Tokyo and raided the population to the north of Huanglong Mansion. "You are responsible for so many national affairs." Ouyang asked, "Can it be difficult to rescue Xue Bing?" Nothing will happen for the time being, but he is under strict supervision and is in a prison." Tai Xuzi whispered: "I suspect that Xue Bing didn't even read the letter. It was just blackmail. If Wu Qi gets suspicious, I'm afraid "Ou Ping knocked on the door: "Master, Master Zhan is here." "Please" Zhan Ming came in. After Ouyang introduced each other with a few polite words, Zhan Ming said: "Sir, I just received the news that my uncle has passed away. My son treats me like a parent. I want to take a leave of absence for half a year to take care of my funeral." Ouyang said, "Is it so urgent? Let's go after the New Year." Zhan Ming shook his head: "Every year has passed.Things matter. " "Yes," Ouyang said, "Ou Ping, give Zhan Ming one hundred thousand dollars to spend on the road. " Taixuzi's eyes flashed. Zhan Ming hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, you are welcome. My salary is already astonishingly high, and Huilan and I will probably spend more than a lifetime saving it. " "Well, forget it. But if you need money, just go to Yangping Bank and ask. You can still get tens of thousands of dollars on credit to your name. " "Thank you, sir. Zhan Ming said, "Then I'll take my leave." Please be careful during your absence. I have already told Zhang San and the others that the Oufu government officials will work overtime and will accompany the four of them when they leave the city. " "Oh, I see. Go quickly and come back quickly, be careful on the road. " "Yes" After Zhan Ming left, Taixuzi said leisurely: "You are an interesting subordinate. " "What's the meaning? " "According to the old Taoist opinion, he is going to do something that is hidden from you. Young people, not being able to lie is a great shortcoming. Tai Xuzi looked at Ouyang with a smile: "Don't worry, you haven't had this shortcoming since you were a child." Ouyang ignored him and said, "If I can't trust Zhan Ming, then there will be no one I can trust." No matter what you do, it won't hurt me anyway. Why should I bother with so much? Besides, he is courageous and resourceful, and has a genuine sixth-grade fish talisman, so I don¡¯t need to worry about him. Old man, let's get back to the topic. Can Xue Bing be saved? Can you guess what it is about? " "Difficult" Tai Xuzi frowned and said: "The old Taoist thinks that Xue Bing has always been a very stable person. Suddenly, he wanted to sneak into the palace even if his identity was exposed. I'm afraid it's because I feel something serious is happening. If Xue Bing feels so important, Lao Dao thinks it may have a lot to do with the Song Dynasty. " "No way." Ouyang pinched his fingers and pretended to be a god. Let's talk about military affairs first. The loyalty of the generals of the Fleet and the Northwest Military Road is close to full value, and their combat effectiveness is 100%. Hebei East Road and Yongxing Military Road are not as good as the Northwest Army. The road is strong. Besides, the generals there are also very loyal to the imperial court. Military rebellion is simply impossible. Even if there are 100,000 imperial troops in Tokyo, it is not easy to assassinate Zhao Yu. It was a close associate of Zhao Yu like Ouyang who was willing to assassinate, and the success rate was relatively low. The Jurchens supported Song Huizong's ascension. They also have positions and no military power. Are they capable of crossing the sea and raiding the Central Plains? It¡¯s impossible for the Hangzhou fleet not to realize that the Jurchen has such strong shipbuilding capabilities. Ouyang thought about it. He couldn¡¯t imagine what the Jin Kingdom¡¯s big conspiracy related to the fate of the Song Dynasty was. Ouyang said distressedly: ¡°Old Taoist, what do you think? " Taixuzi spread his hands and said, "I don't think it's possible either. It would be possible to map the Liao Dynasty, but it would be a dream to map the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty had a large population, a lot of food, a lot of money, good weapons, beautiful women, and many famous generals. People's hearts with foreign countries are in harmony. There is nothing wrong with the emperor. Unless" Ouyang hurriedly asked: "Unless what. " "Unless there is an experienced Taoist priest who can attract hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals. " Ouyang grabbed a cup of wine, opened Tai Xuzi's mouth and drank it down. " According to the strategy, the Song Dynasty will not fight next year. But next year it will formally deploy war preparations against Liao. And it will sign a series of peace treaties with Jin. Yang Ping The military factory will only provide gunpowder to the court next year and prohibit civilian gunpowder smuggling. Of course, the windows are still separated by paper. Song is not such an idiot and directly shouts: We will attack you the year after tomorrow. The main attack of the Song army is to change the Hebei army next year. The East Road, the Northwest Military Road and the Yongxing Military Road, which have been replaced, and the Hangzhou Fleet, which has been expanded to 80 warships except for the voyage fleet, will be different from the Liao War and the Xixia War. The Xiang army will be responsible for local security, especially along the coast, and the nearly 60,000 imperial troops on the border with Tubo and Dali will also guard the borders to avoid trouble. This is the power of the Military Aircraft Department. Although Tong Guan has low morals, he still has military talents. . Apart from him, Han Shizhong is the only one who can make such a careful deployment. After all, Yue Fei is relatively young and has not experienced a real battle. March in three directions and let go of the Xiliao line. The Liao people retreated in a certain direction. Unlike Xixia, the territory of Liao was too large, and most of Western Liao was in the Gobi Desert. At least under the current circumstances, the Song army was not suitable for large-scale expeditions. In the Yuzhou war, not many main forces were used, but the logistics cost was astronomical. Ouyang really couldn't think of any shocking conspiracy of the Jurchens, but he still wanted to rescue Xue Bing if he had the ability. Although Ouyang was not morally noble enough to go to Jin. One person in the country changes to another This year¡¯s Chinese New Year is still the same, the difference is that there is less Zhan Ming and more??Tai Xuzi. Years ago, I received news that Li Gang recommended Zongze as Yushi Zhongcheng, an official position from the third rank. This news frightened the court officials of both the old and new factions. Zhao Yu remained the same, so let's vote. If you are willing to put such a thorn in the position of the censor boss, you must bear the consequences. So this year¡¯s New Year¡¯s Eve dinner also includes Li Gang. Li Gang hadn't spoken yet, and Ouyang didn't know what was going on, but he immediately pulled out the manuscript written by Zhao Yu and blocked Li Gang's mouth. To be honest, if Zong Ze really wanted to become a censor, Ouyang would feel guilty, and he might be involved one day. Even if this guy doesn't participate, if he participates, it must be a solid evidence that can withstand the test. It was the 28th of the twelfth lunar month when Li Gang came, and the court was already on holiday. Ouyang himself was a corrupt member, but he still felt guilty that he could not help the Independent Commission Against Corruption, so he invited Li Gang to stay for the New Year's Eve dinner.
