"Who are you looking for?" Su Qian asked, "How about Taoist Master Taixu?" "No, this person has some tricks and tricks, and he knows how to deceive people, but I don't believe he can figure out this mystery. Although he has been a Jurchen National Master, but the politics over the Jurchen side are much simpler. Well, it¡¯s too complicated. The Jurchens may not be able to understand it.¡± Su Qian frowned and said, ¡°Of course we can¡¯t find Li Xiang and others. We must find someone to have an interest in.¡± If you understand the mysteries of the court, you must support us, and at least you must not oppose us. You can ask someone who has established your identity. "My lord, what do you think of the Nine Eunuchs?" Ouyang said: "Since the emperor is playing this mystery, what can he say?" ? It must be a mystery. By the way, I remembered that there is a person who is absolutely suitable. He is a veteran of the Three Dynasties and a member of the Nine Hundreds of Qian Song Bar. He may not support me, but he will definitely not oppose me. " " "Who?" "My master Wang Qing." Faced with Ouyang's question, Wang Qing stroked his beard seven times, blinked six times and said to Ouyang, apprentice, although your master is an official of several ranks, he never cares about his family. Yes, this matter does have its merits, just think about it yourself. He looks like a master from outside the world and doesn't care about the mortal world. Ouyang can only say, Master, if you treat your apprentice so badly, be careful of his betrayal. Wang Qing: Little bastard, what else do you want? Ouyang: I falsely accused you of spying on the emperor taking a bath during seclusion. Of course, that¡¯s not the case. Wang Qing really didn't want to ask, but Ouyang coaxed his mother, who was Ouyang's master-in-law. Under the pressure of his mother, Wang Qing could only express his own opinion. Not to mention the Taoist priest Xianggencao who has a mother, this is the second time Ouyang uses the Queen Mother. The first time is to invite others to drink tea, and this time it is to give gifts. Wang Qing said: "The current Jurchen land is just a small fight, but why does the emperor keep delaying the decision date?" " "Yes, why? "Ouyang Huma responded, "You're so wordy. " "Because the Emperor tends to support you, think about it carefully, which side will benefit from procrastinating? "Wang Qing said: "If the emperor had chosen the method of using gold to treat gold, he would have already started to make arrangements to contact the chiefs, appoint officials, etc. It is definitely not the emperor's style to delay." Ouyang still asked: "Master, what do you mean? " "Although the Jurchen occupation is a bit fussy at present, it is unknown. Do you know why we have to find an excuse for going to war, being dismissed from office, etc.? " "At least I can explain it to everyone and let everyone support me. " "Yes, for example, Li Han was an imperial envoy and was imprisoned. The emperor immediately asked someone to rescue him secretly without making any publicity. Because the emperor knows that if it is publicized, it will affect the face of the court and the dignity of the royal family. The emperor doesn't even want to explain. "Wang Qing said: "So I think the emperor's intention is to hope that there will be some movement in the Jurchen occupied areas in the south, so that even the ministers who want to object cannot and dare not speak out to object. According to this calculation, the emperor naturally does not hope that there will be peace in the land occupied." Because it has only been two months, can it become harmonious? Then there is only one explanation. The emperor hopes that something will happen to the land occupied. The bigger the problem, the better, and she can justifiably eradicate it. Jurchen, to avoid future troubles. Why the emperor didn't say it clearly? But I will definitely explain it to you. But the emperor didn't tell you clearly," "I understand. "Although Wang Qing didn't finish speaking, Ouyang expressed his understanding. This was a change in Zhao Yu's attitude toward him. It might be that he was deliberately angry, or it might be that there was a big problem with trust. Ouyang asked: "What should I do? ? " "This matter does not happen at every level, it is a national matter. Of course, national affairs are the most important thing. "Wang Qing said: "But you can also see what the emperor's attitude is towards you. Because the emperor will not joke about state affairs. " "Master means to cause trouble in the occupied territory. "Ouyang Xiangxiang asked: "How to make trouble, how to make a big fuss?" Wang Qing smiled: "I don't know this as a teacher. " "Thank you, Master. "Ouyang said goodbye. Three days later, Su Qian went to the post house to look for Ouyang" but was told that Ouyang went to Henan to play. Su Qian has been active these days, contacting people everywhere and trying to reason. However, the situation is not optimistic. After all, the ministers are all Confucian people who took the imperial examination and are a bit pedantic. Some small decisions may be obeyed, but this kind of expulsion and massacre that goes against the Confucian spirit is not easy for many people to accept. Similarly, the opposition Chen Dong used a trick that Ouyang once planned, "visiting ministers from house to house." This put Su Qian under great pressure. So he went to find Ouyang, but to his surprise, Ouyang actually let himself go and went out to play. Coincidentally, Su Qian was disappointed and was about to leave when the Ninth Eunuch arrived. After the two chatted for a few words, the Ninth Eunuch was shocked: ""This kid ran away? ¡± Su Qian¡¯s reactionHe was stunned for a moment: "Eunuch, Mr. Ou is not a Beijing official. I have explained my point of view. It seems that there is no need to stay, right?" "Where has he gone?" Jiu Gonggong asked. "I seem to be going to Henan, saying I'm going to meet Shopkeeper Hu and Shopkeeper Wang for a drink." "Here comes someone!" "Yes." The two internal guards behind him replied. "Send a fast horse to chase Mr. Ou back." "Yes!" "Remember not to stop on the way." But what the Nine Eunuchs didn't expect was that ten days had passed and the fast horse came to report that there was no trace of Ouyang. Zhao Yu was very angry. He first scolded Ouyang, and then scolded Jiu Eunuch, a useless thing, and asked him to continue sending people to search. The ninth father-in-law was also very aggrieved, but he was a eunuch after all. It was normal to have grievances, but it was very abnormal not to have grievances. So when he was frowning, he went to Yangping in person to discuss with Zhan Ming and others. After all, these people were more familiar with Ouyang's whereabouts. Zhan Ming was sitting in the hall. He was startled when he saw Eunuch Jiu. He hurriedly ordered people to watch the tea, and then asked: "Eunuch Jiu, what happened, why did you come to Yangping in person?" Eunuch Jiu sighed, took a sip of tea and said: "" hot! " Zhan Ming hurriedly ordered: ""Change to something cold." To be so thirsty, he must be working non-stop. "Where do you adults often go?" Jiu Eunuch asked, taking a sip of cold tea. "Where do you often go?" Zhan Ming asked again in a daze: "Did something happen to you, sir?" "Did Ouyang say that the secret investigation by the internal guards became an open investigation? "Don't worry about it, tell me where he often goes? " "It's hard to say. Recently, the Goryeo, Liao and Jurchen territories have been visited, but most of them are wandering around Hangzhou. The adults say that the scenery there is good and the climate is comfortable." Zhan Ming thought about it and said, "Sometimes, I just accompany the emperor on outings." ",," Ninth Eunuch fainted and was running all over the place. How could he find him? A servant came in and said, "Master Zhan, Master Ou asked you to come over for a drink in the evening." " "knew. " Ninth Eunuch was stunned: ""Ouyang is in Yangping?" "Yes!" Zhan Ming was even more stunned: ""Otherwise where is he?" " "Take me to him. " When he arrived at Ou Mansion, he inquired and learned that Ouyang went to Yangping University to have tea with Song Huizong. When he went to Yangping University, they said that Ouyang had just left, but did not say where he was going. In the end, the Nine Eunuchs gave up and stayed at Ou Mansion to wait for Ouyang. Ouyang didn't come back until dinner time. Ouyang was a little surprised when he saw Eunuch Jiu and asked: "Eunuch Ninth, why are you here in person? " "If you don't come in person, please don't touch me," said Jiu Eunuch in a bitter tone. "Haha, Jiu Eunuch is really a joke. Ouyang said: "If Mr. Jiu has something to do, just ask the people below to come over." It's inconvenient to ride a horse with a chicken hair tube, so you can do it. "Where have you been?" "I've been in Yangping" "I'm here right after I came back from Tokyo" "The people at the post office said you went to Henan. " "Oh, you are just talking nonsense to those idle people. "Ouyang asked: "Nine Eunuchs have something to do with me?" Do you mean that I am also an idler? Eunuch Jiu didn't want to worry about this matter anymore and said, "The emperor declares your presence." " "good! "Xuyang told Jin Niang: "I will go to Beijing tomorrow. There will be no banquet today. Let someone tell Zhan Ming and the others. Have you put away the bath water? " Jin Niang nodded: ""Okay!" "I'm going to take a shower, and dinner will be served later. Father-in-law, please help yourself, um, how about we eat something together?" "No need." Seeing that Ouyang had no intention of staying as a guest, Jiu Gonggong saw that Ouyang had no intention of staying as a guest. He stood up and said, "Then I'll go back to Beijing first." "My father-in-law has worked hard, why don't you stay one night?" Ouyang said, "That's right. Jin Niang is busy with business and will help me see off the guests." Well, let's call Zhan Ming and the others, don't waste it. "It's not that I won't keep you. This is not a courtyard house and there are not many rooms. Ouyang deliberately chose a villa with not many rooms, just because he didn't want too many people to interfere in his private life. Here are Ouyang, Jin Niang, two maids and three The long-term laborers and servants all went to sleep with Ou Ping. Ouyang went to Beijing the next day, and Zhao Yu went to the palace with him. I feel angry too.¡± It¡¯s been nearly half a month since I looked at it. He got straight to the point and asked, "Where have you been?" "Back to Yangping." "Back to Yangping?" Zhao Yu was stunned. "Yes, Weichen, as Yangping's parent official, naturally wants to return to Yangping." Ouyang answered as if one plus one equals two. "I don't see that you are so dedicated." Zhao Yu said a cold joke and said: "To be clear, the Lianhe does not want the Jurchen tribe to exist anymore, but the Lianhe has to worry about the opinions of the ministers and its own reputation. I don't know what do you haveAny solution? " The 4th floor was swallowed up? I'm already on guard against harmony. It's always been a little bit Wang Qing is indeed an old fox, and he guessed very well. Ouyang nodded and said: "Your Majesty is wise, and the Jurchens are numerous" and they once united to devour them. The Liao Kingdom must not be left alone like this. "Lian asked you what to do, not to flatter you." "Back to Your Majesty, Wei Chen has devoted himself to studying Qimen Dunjia over the past few years, and now he has made some achievements." Last night while observing the stars in the wilderness, I suddenly saw a star falling to the ground. I couldn't help being shocked, so I pinched my fingers and felt sore." Zhao Yu laughed and scolded: "Don't bother with this, just say it directly." "Well, Your Majesty, let me do that. Tell me. After some calculations, I suddenly found that a Quxing from our Song Dynasty had fallen in Liaoyang. "Wei Chen guessed that something happened to a minister in our Song Dynasty, because there is no Quxing from Jurchen." We won't find out in a few days." Zhao Yu pondered for a while and asked, "Is that Qu Xing Li Bangyan? ", "This,,minor minister cannot be counted." Your Majesty said yes, that's it." "Li Bangyan is a first-class minister, how can you say that he is dead?", "Your Majesty, it is said to be a Jurchen riot." Kill Li Bangyan. It's not easy for Bang Yan. Ouyang just writes to Jin Si and asks him to take action. Li Bangyan is the special supervisor of Jin Si's special force. Jin Si's current military affairs are to appease the Jurchens in the occupied areas. But I didn't expect that the Song army sent food and salt, and the Jurchens were so ungrateful that they actually killed the supervising army. The head was also sent to the commander of the Song Army in Liaoyang, which was full of provocation. Of course, there are also private rumors that Li Bangyan was domineering, seized Jurchen girls, and was killed after angering the tribe. Which version is not important, what is important is that a first-grade minister and the imperial supervisor were killed by the Jurchens while pacifying the local area. For someone like Zhao Yu who plays power, she doesn't care much about the process. What she cares about is the result. Although she had a feeling that Ouyang could handle things, she didn't expect that Ouyang was so bold that he dared to kill a first-class minister. But think about that place Only Li Bangyan has enough weight, not only has a high official position, but also has a certain influence in the government. Even if the former political opponents are secretly happy, they dare not publicly say that Li Bangyan died unjustly, and this must be felt. At that time, anyone who advocated a peaceful policy towards the Jurchens would probably be criticized by thousands of people. As an emperor and a minister during the Huizong period of the Song Dynasty, he was always under great pressure to retreat and transform. Except for Tong Guan, most of the high-ranking ministers during the Huizong period of the Song Dynasty have basically withdrawn from the stage of history. They are either important ministers in two dynasties or even three dynasties. It is a very rare title, because in addition to surviving at least two emperors, they also have to satisfy fewer political opponents. On the other hand, if Li Bangyan has some personal relationship with Ouyang, he will not be the first person on the list that flashes in Ouyang's mind. It can be said that Ouyang is also using the incident to attack his "political opponents." But Ouyang is still a humble person. After all, there is no satellite communication system at present: "Your Majesty's minister is just making random calculations." I don't know if it is true. "There are indeed certain variables." Zhao Yu asked: "Aren't you afraid that after a hundred years, your successors will treat you like this?" "Your Majesty's dynasty has loyal ministers and wise kings, and countless talents have been promoted by your Majesty." If the minister is not in the temple, the one he wants will definitely not be the minister first. "Haha," Zhao Yu couldn't help but laugh and said, ""Ouyang, you've got your wishful thinking very loudly. I'm very satisfied with this." But don't be too cheap. If Huanglong cannot be captured in the twelfth lunar month, Lian will start to trouble you before a hundred years. "Sure enough, Li Bangyan's life was not in Zhao Yu's eyes, or he said that emperors have been the most ruthless since ancient times. Ouyang replied: "Your Majesty, no matter how troublesome you are, I am afraid that your Majesty will have no excuse to cause trouble for me." "Oh? You are very confident. You can trust Chen Gui so much. Lian Kan Chen Gui is just a scholar who has never been on the battlefield and can only talk about war on paper. "In fact, there are advantages to talking about war on paper." Winning is called strategizing, and losing is called talking about war on paper. , this is the concept of winner takes all. For example, modern war chess deductions are just about armies on paper, but who can deny the importance of war chess deductions? Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had never fought a war, but he distributed and arranged the strategies for the Xiongnu in the palace. So it doesn't matter whether it's on paper or not, what matters is whether it will win. The conventional wisdom is that it is quite feasible to use the principles of physics to attack the enemy in a different way. Besides, there is Zhang Jun, a veteran and experienced general in charge. Zhao Yu nodded: "The Jurchens will put a big stone in Lian's heart." "In addition to the Jurchens, your majesty also wants to chop up the Mongols." Mongolia is to the west of Liaodong and due north of the original Xixia. Except for the location of Liao, it belongs to Liao. The tribes inhabited by vassals. Not all Mongolians, but many nomadic peoples gathering places, finally summarized as Mongolia. Zhao Yu knew that the land of Mongolia was a place where many nomadic tribes gathered because of the rich water and grass, but they had no contact with each other. The territory was not small, covering an area of ??nearly three Xixias. But this is the first time Zhao Yu has heard about the Mongolian threat theory, and he can't help but ask: "Why?" "Look, Your Majesty, does this Mongolia live up to the Jurchen?" And they are even worse than the Jurchens. The Jurchens were divided into seventy-two tribes and lived everywhere from Changbai to the Bohai Sea, and some were forcibly moved to form mature Jurchens. And the various tribes in MongoliaAs a group, there are no barriers to separate each other, and they have more natural advantages than the Jurchens. Once a powerful khan appears in Mongolia and the whole people becomes an army, what do you think their purpose will be? Is it barren Russia to the north? Or the prosperous Song Dynasty to the south? Ouyang said: "Your Majesty, do you still remember when you were a princess?" Wei Chen advocated classifying all nomads as enemies. All nomads are enemies, so that we can protect our country from infringement. "Zhao Yu asked: "Are your words exaggerated?" "Not exaggerated, Your Majesty. The nomads have several characteristics. First, they do not understand the language of the Song Dynasty. Second, they do not accept the king's culture. Third, their moral expression is different from that of the Song Dynasty. Inconsistent. Fourth, advocating force. Fifth, surrendering to the brave. Sixth, it is easy to incite. Seventh, life is difficult. Precisely because they admire brave men and force, there are great hidden dangers. Although their tribes are currently divided, several tribes have gathered together to form a sweat. But if they annex each other, they may form a powerful force. Perhaps they did not form a climate when Wei Chen was alive, but they may harm future generations. If we don't take advantage of the Song army's strength and take advantage of the situation to kill them, I'm afraid everything will be out of control in the future. "Destroy?" "Demarcate the grassland as public property, move those who are willing to move inward, and kill those who are unwilling." Zhao Yu was even more confused: "What do you want that grassland for?" "Weichen hasn't thought of this yet." Ouyang thought for a while and said, "I just asked Your Majesty to destroy them. As for what to use them for, we will talk about it later." "What you said in the first half makes sense. Nomads do harm our country." But the second half was just nonsense, with no plan at all. That's all, Lian Lian knows this. Zhao Yu said, "You'd better pay more attention to Jurchen's affairs." ""yes! "Also, Lian doesn't doubt you, but you know what you did to deceive your Majesty." " Zhao Yu said: "There is no need to bully the Nine Eunuchs to find out our intentions. You go down. "",,yes! "Ouyang wipe your sweat, you have seen through all these tricks. Ouyang doesn't know. Although Zhao Yu is a little dissatisfied with Ouyang's small tricks, he is quite satisfied to see that Ouyang can still focus on big things instead of using them as bargaining chips to negotiate with him. .
