Northern Song Dynasty: Counterattack and became emperor after the Jingkang Revolution

Chapter 65 Asking for Credit for Yue Fei

Zhao Yingluo glanced at Yue Fei and Wang Zaixing behind her and said, "Although Shen Wanshu had merit in this battle, the victory over the city was all due to the desperate efforts of Yue Fei, Wang Zaixing, Wang Shan and other generals. Without the three of them, how would it be possible?" It’s to her credit.”

Then Zhao Yingluo took out a note, which recorded in detail the battlefield performance of Yue Fei, Wang Zaixing and others, the number of enemies killed, etc...

Zhao Gou thought about it for a moment after reading the letter, and then said, "If you have merit, you will be rewarded. In this case, Yue Fei can be named 'Martial Classics Doctor', Wang Zaixing and Wang Shan will be named 'Xuanzheng Lang', and the rest will be discussed by the Privy Council." Reward."

……

After the court dispersed, Zhao Yingluo and others went straight to the mansion where Lu Haowen and Zongze were under house arrest, following the edict officer and the chamberlain's deputy, Zhi Zengze.

On the road, the three of them were riding horses, with Zengze riding behind in a sedan. Guessing that Zengze couldn't hear the conversation between them, Yue Fei tucked his horse's belly slightly and rode alongside Zhao Yingluo.

"Master Qin was always making things difficult for the princess in the court just now. Why didn't the princess defend herself by refuting him in court?"

Wang Zaixing also nodded solemnly!

At the court, the official personally named him "Xuanzheng Lang", which really made him excited for a while. Although he was not as high as Yue Fei's seventh-grade "Martial Arts Doctor", he was still a serious disciple. Seventh grade official.

But Yue Fei mentioned the fight in the court, which cooled his excitement.The princess made great achievements in defeating powerful enemies, but the court suspected her of treason. How could she not make people feel heartbroken?

Zhao Yingluo said calmly, "Those who have achieved great things since ancient times should not be alarmed by changes. If I publicize myself just because of this military exploit, the officials will only be more wary of me, so I didn't make any excuses. I want to become a leader in troubled times." A hero, if you keep a low profile, you will live longer than if you keep a high profile everywhere."

Wang Zaixing said angrily, "Are we going to let that Qin Hui slander you in the court?"

Zhao Yingluo sneered, "Him? Even though he is unparalleled in the court for a while, sooner or later, I will make him kneel down and beg me."

The mansion where the two elders were banned

After lunch, the two old men were drinking tea in the pavilion. It was probably because the control inside and outside the mansion was too strict, and they had not yet received news that Zhao Yingluo had won the battle.

Although Zongze has the word worry written all over his face, he is not only thinking about his adopted daughter Shen Wanshu, but also worried about Kaifeng.

Based on his understanding of the Jin people, once the Song Dynasty went to war with the puppet Qi, the Jin people would not sit idly by and watch.

Now the Jin people have captured the land in Hebei and most of Hexi. Only Guanzhong has not yet been touched. If the Jin people take the opportunity to set off from Taiyuan and go west to Tongguan, the land in Guanzhong will be in danger.

Zongze sighed and lamented that he was already seventy years old but was depressed. Seeing Lu Haowen drinking tea and lazily basking in the sun, he couldn't help asking, "Master Lu, don't you Worried about Wanshu? She is your niece."

Lu Haowen opened his slightly closed eyes, muttering in his heart, her?I'm not worried!After Her Royal Highness escaped from the clutches of the golden man, she created countless miracles!Now that she has 10,000+ private soldiers, a thousand-man gunnery team, and the support of the brave and skilled Yue Fei and Wang Zaixing, she should probably be worried about the traitor Liu Yu!
"Lord Lu, please relax. There will be good news soon. You and I can just wait and see."

Zongze said with some dissatisfaction, "If Wanshu is talking about farming, then no one can compare with her. But this is a war. How can she, a weak woman, resist those tigers and wolves? What if something goes wrong on the battlefield?" , it’s too late for you and me to regret it!”

"Who's to blame for this? Nowadays, Qin Hui and his like are in power in the court, and the officials are blindly seeking peace, so we two old guys are reduced to drinking tea, eating, and sleeping. If we expect the officials It is probably not easy to regain the lost territory and realize the resurgence of the Song Dynasty."

Zongze sighed and said, "I don't have much time now. If I can't see the Song Dynasty regain the land of Yanyun, I won't die in peace!"

Zhao Yingluo, who had just entered the mansion and heard the conversation between the two of them, laughed loudly, "General Zong can live a long life, how can you not see it?" "Wan..."

The two old men almost shouted out that Zhao Yingluo was the number one, but when they saw that everyone accompanying them knew that Zeng had chosen the last, they all braked and shut up.

Zeng Ze held the edict in his hand and shouted seriously, "Your Majesty has an edict!"

The two old men hurriedly bowed respectfully.

After Zeng had read the imperial edict that reinstated the two of them, he immediately turned into a flattering smile, "Congratulations to the two adults! The princess is brave and brave, and the women will not be inferior to men. The battle made our Song Dynasty feel proud and proud. The officials then reinstated the two officers to their posts."

When the two old men saw that they were both reinstated, they were all happy. After sending Zeng Ze off, they had to chase Zhao Yingluo and ask him about the whole war.

Seeing that the old man was rarely happy, Zhao Yingluo added fuel to the fire and spoke in high spirits, earning Zongze repeated praises.

But after learning that although the officials promoted her to Hebei Economic Envoy, they also restricted her power, the two old men were a little angry.

"The officials appointed Lan Gui as the supervisor out of thin air because they don't believe us!"

"Father, please take it easy. Now that Yue Fei, Wang Zaixing and Wang Shan have all been appointed officials, good things have just begun. As for Lan Gui, it's just a boil."

Zongze nodded, "What are your plans from now on?"

Zhao Yingluo looked at the blue sky in Lin'an in winter and narrowed her eyes slightly, "Now that the overall situation has been decided, it's natural to farm hard!"

The two old men were delighted, "Girl, if you really want to farm well, I'll be relieved!"

Zhao Yingluo does want to farm, but her goal is not around Kaifeng. She already owns the millions of acres of fertile land around Kaifeng, and with the help of a few capable assistants, everything is in order.

Her target is the Guanzhong area!
After the Jingkang Incident, after two years of tug-of-war between the Song and Jin Dynasties, the Jin people completely occupied Tongzhou, Linzhou, Yanzhou and other places, and set their sights on Chang'an.

Zhang Jun, who was a member of the Privy Council and was responsible for the Xuanfu of Sichuan and Shaanxi, was in charge of Chang'an. Although he had frequent attacks and defenses with the Jin people, he was able to avoid the war around Chang'an.

"I heard that the official appointed a woman as the economic envoy to Hebei. It is simply unbelievable! How can there be a reason for a woman to rule a country since ancient times?"

Lieutenant General Kang Sui smiled and said, "What the general said is absolutely true. Now that the Jin people have repeatedly invaded the south, she has been entrusted with important tasks. If there is another Jingkang incident, how can the country be stable?"

Zhang Jun sighed and said, "It's a pity that the officials can't entrust me with important responsibilities. If I were stationed in Kaifeng and commanded an army for the Northern Expedition, the world would have been settled early. But the road north of Chang'an is difficult to travel and there is not enough food and grass. How can we do the Northern Expedition?"

"I have a plan to satisfy the general's long-cherished wish!"

Zhang Jun asked curiously, "What's your plan?"

"Now that Lan Gui is the supervisory envoy, the general can send people to Lan Gui's place, treat him generously, and ask Lan Gui to send a message to the officials that Chang'an is now stable. Zhao Yingluo can be moved to Chang'an, and the general can replace him as the Hebei manager. make……"
