Chapter 138
At the last moment, the three central ministers were still discussing the idea proposed by the emperor.

The next moment, I saw with my own eyes that this idea came true.

Bringing soldiers and horses, meeting without summoning, everyone knows what kind of idea this is holding.

It's just that poor Mr. Zhao thought about it for a long time, but he didn't expect that it would be this one.

King of Yongjia County, Zhao Shicheng.

This one, like today's son, is from the lineage of Shang Wang Zhao Yuanfen. Compared with the clan of Taizu's lineage, life in his family is undoubtedly much better.

Just like the kid that Zhao Ding brought into the palace, his father was just a county magistrate, but Zhao Shicheng took the throne, and he was treated like a royal.

Speaking of which, it is reasonable for this person.

After all, he has no further progress, and besides the throne, he seems to have nothing to worry about.

Zhao Ding pulled Hu Quan back and put on a smiling face:
"What is the intention of the king of the county?"

Zhao Shicheng was still playing with his fan, and unceremoniously entered the room and sat on the main seat:
"Isn't Prime Minister Zhao knowingly asking?"

"I really don't know, please ask the county king for advice."

I have experienced Jingkang and Miaoliu. I have seen the iron cavalry of the Jinren, and I have also experienced the bandit uprisings in more than ten places within a year.

After several ups and downs, Qin Hui, Du Chong, and Wang Boyan were killed... For Zhao Ding, he really had the qualifications to be calm, or pretend to be stupid.

Zhao Shicheng didn't talk too much nonsense, what he wanted to grasp now was time, so he went straight to the point and said:

"The official led the army to go out, what's going on this time, please tell Zhao Xiang clearly."

"The official family is very good! They have to eat seven or eight bowls of rice every day, and they have to guard five or six women. They even sent a letter yesterday asking to take some of the noble concubines to Yingzhou!"

Zhao Ding didn't speak, Hu Quan spoke first: "If the county king misses His Majesty, you can go to Yingzhou to see it in person, maybe the officials will miss you too!"

"Oh?" Zhao Shicheng ignored his yin and yang aura, "Is that really the case?"

"if not?!"

He shook his head and looked at Zhao Ding again:

"Zhao quite knows that this king is able to come today, he must have full confidence and complete news... Everyone is the pillar of the country, why should I treat this king as a fool?"

Luckily, Liu Ziyu revealed the truth to the two of them just now, otherwise, Zhao Ding would not be able to sit still now.

But he sat still.

Because in the Song Dynasty, no one knew the current deployment of the troops better than him.

It is true that Lin'an City has no soldiers, not just Lin'an, Lianghuai, Jiangnan, Fujian and Guangxi, there are not many soldiers now.

There are not many people Zhao Shicheng can use.

So he didn't tell lies like Hu Quan, but asked rhetorically:
"Will the family members know about the county king's trip, and Da Zongzheng know about it?"

This is a state matter, but it is also a family matter of the Zhao family, which is very important.

King Yi Zhao Zhongshi had eleven sons, and this one was the seventh and the only one who inherited the title.

His other ten brothers, as well as their nephews, all serve in various armies, regions, and counties. Although their official positions are not high, they are all doing serious errands.

If this is what Zhao Shicheng meant, then it's easy to handle; but if it's what Zhao Zhongshi's lineage means, then Zhao Ding has to weigh it up.

Zhao Shicheng sighed softly: "They don't understand it very well, but since this king is here, I will take it as their consent."

"Da Zongzheng... When the matter here is over, this king will tell him."

"understood."

Zhao Ding finally knew that the out-of-minded Yongjia County King didn't even have a single ally.

But is he really out of his mind?
Zhao Xiangye didn't believe it, so he asked the second question:
"What is your credence?"

Not to mention Yue Fei, that person was the one he strongly recommended back then, and everyone in the world knows what kind of temperament he is. The rest, whether Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, or Yang Yizhong, were all congregants who used to regard King Kang as emperor. Minister, wealth and wealth are all tied to the official family.

All the generals in Xiangyang, Huaihe River, and Huaihe River are all confidantes of the emperor's direct line, and the only possible one is in the middle of Sichuan.

The brothers of the Wu family were favored by Zhang Jun. Although they were not disobedient at times, they were too far apart after all... If they were far apart, it would be difficult to control them.

Zhao Shicheng didn't think about seeing blood in the first place, both Zhao Ding and Liu Ziyu were well-known people, if they could stand on his side, they would naturally save a lot of effort.

So if you can make these few give up on Lao Jiu just by showing your capital, why not do it?

Thinking of this, he clapped his hands:
"Marshal Wang, come in and say hello to everyone!"

Marshal Wang...

Before a few people thought about it, soon, a general with white temples entered the door.

Hu Quan didn't recognize him, but Zhao Ding and Liu Ziyu both knew each other, not only did they know each other, but they were old acquaintances.

Wang Xie, who was born in the Western Army, was Zhang Jun's comrade. This man was also there when he was in Taiyuan, and he was commended by the "loyalty and bravery" written by the Holy Emperor Xiaociyuan himself.

His later resume is almost the same as that of Zhang Taiwei. In the early years of Shaoxing, together with Han Shizhong, Xiang Guangshi, Zhang Jun, and Yue Fei, he was called the five generals of the Shenwu Army.

But later, faced with the Jin army's first defeat, they let the soldiers captive in Binzhou, and then fled to Shuzhong. They also wanted to invite the emperor to go there, but the emperor refused.

Then there was Yang Yao's uprising, this "loyal and brave" general couldn't even beat some bandits, he was at odds with Zheyan in Jinghu Lake, and after one year of operation, he only got two fishing boats... The emperor couldn't bear him anymore, He ordered him to hand over general affairs to Yue Fei.

The running ability of this man is comparable to that of Xiang Guangshi. He fled from the west to the east, from the north to the south. He has been a general for many years, but he has not even won a single battle.

Now his identity should be a well-known and irresponsible Jilu official, the training envoy of the Haozhou regiment.

"Mr. Zhao...don't come here without any problems. You were the prime minister back then. I didn't expect that when we meet again, you will still be the prime minister."

Although Zhao Ding saw the man, he still didn't understand where the soldiers came from.

Wang Xie seemed to see his doubts:
"Speaking of which, it's thanks to Yue Pengju."

It turned out that after Yue Fei formally took over the military affairs of Jinghu, he expelled most of Wang Xie's generals... This man, who even wanted to recruit bandits, has achieved this level, which is enough to show that this general Wang Xie is under the command of General Wang. What kind of goods are they.

Yue Fei didn't want it, but after all, they were all seven-foot-tall men, and there were plenty of people in other places who wanted them; these people were mixed in various state capitals in the south of the Yangtze River, and they continued to hang out in the army.

What's more, a county magistrate, prefecture and county patrol inspection was also done.

According to the rules, there are 50 armed archers for those with more than 40 households in the county, 30 for those with more than 25 households, 20 for those with more than 15 households, 10 for those with more than [-] households, [-] for those with two thousand households, and [-] for those with more than [-] households. [-] persons, and [-] persons with less than [-] households.

Although there were not many leaders, but Wang Xie responded to all calls, and it was calculated that he had gathered three to four thousand people, including hundreds of archers, one or two hundred cavalry, and some scattered warriors recruited. , brought more than 4000 people.

Five thousand stragglers, if Lin'an had made preparations earlier, these people would not be able to do much.

But by chance, Zhao Shicheng was caught off guard, and at the most unlikely time, he did something that he shouldn't have done.

Finally, he understood the ins and outs, and Zhao Ding had nothing to say... This county king, if you say he is stupid, he still knows how to take advantage of the situation.

But if you say that he is smart... When the officials come back to their senses, how can the power of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Song Dynasty be stopped by only 5000 people?

Zhao Ding looked at Zhao Shicheng, and said his only suggestion:
"When Kaifeng fell, the Six Armies wanted to elect King Yi to succeed him, but King Yi resigned saying 'I have God'. The Six Armies refused, and King Yi wanted to die with his sword. The latter six armies made an agreement with King Yi:' If the Allah does not come out after more than a month, then Zhong Shi will immediately take the throne."

"Later, the official came to the throne, King Zhaoyi inherited the title of title, and added the three divisions of Fuyitong. This kind of favor can be regarded as the No. .”

It was good that he didn't mention his father, but when he mentioned this, Zhao Shicheng became even more angry.

He could have been the emperor back then, but he was resigned abruptly by his father... Otherwise, he would just be a county king in Shanyin now!

"Master Zhao doesn't need to say much, I just want to ask you, are you willing to continue to be the prime minister of this king?"

Zhao Ding bowed to him:
"The salary of the emperor, the matter of loyalty to the emperor, the official family is the emperor of Zhongxing, Ding only recognizes him as the emperor, other..."

He shook his head, but he was extremely firm.

"Where's Mr. Liu?"

Liu Ziyu stood beside Zhao Ding, without saying anything, but made his attitude clear.

As for Hu Quan, this one didn't even ask. If he became emperor, he would definitely not continue the Northern Expedition.

At that time, a stubborn person like Hu Quan will definitely be sent to the local government.

Seeing that the prime minister failed to stand on his side, although it was a pity, Zhao Shicheng didn't think so much.

"Then you'll be offended... Before the big thing is done, please wait a few days in this office."

The Song Dynasty has never lacked officials.

Zhao Shicheng felt that it was God's will, if Lao Jiu were kinder or more ruthless, he probably wouldn't be able to do this.

It so happened that he happened to be in this neither male nor female, neither up nor down, neither kind nor cruel role.

Take the officials who repaired the Taixue as an example, if he killed them all that day, he might still have a headache.

But now, he has a complete team to use, and he has someone to show favor to.

Moreover, God knows why he personally led the army to the Northern Expedition.

God knows why after the Xixia people ignored him, he was approached by the more powerful Jin people.

God knows why Lao Jiu really lost contact with the court just like what the golden man said.

No matter which link is broken in the middle, he, the king of Yongjia County, can't do anything.

And now...

He is standing in the palace, as long as he wants, he can sit in that position today.

Everyone came out of the office, and Zhao Shicheng looked at the Daqing Palace not far away... This should have been his place, if his father and king hadn't acted carelessly back then.

"Did you encounter any trouble along the way?"

Knowing that he was asking himself, Wang Xie said with a smile:
"Your Majesty, you're worrying too much. Let's just say that they came from the north. These people in Lin'an City and the palace didn't even have any defenses, and they were all disarmed... If anyone turns to the light, he will accept it for our use." .”

Nodding slightly, he looked at the dwarf who hadn't spoken since entering the palace:
"Thanks to sir, otherwise, I don't know how long this king will have to wait."

The dwarf smiled: "I just hope that Your Majesty will remember the agreement with us."

The two of them tacitly agreed, and said at the same time:

"Song and Jin should form an alliance forever."
