In the barracks of the Imperial Army, Zheng Huchen, commander of the Imperial Army, and Li Hu, deputy commander of the Imperial Army, were very surprised when they received the imperial edict.
Under normal circumstances, it is very common for the emperor to go out of the palace and be accompanied by the imperial guards.
According to the custom, the emperor was in charge of the guard, and the other was in charge of the guard. In this way, it is rare for the chief and Deputy commanders to accompany and escort at the same time.
Li Hu, the deputy commander of the imperial forest, grumbled: "commander, it's not a big risk to go to the palace from Lin'an. Although the palace can't compare with Lin'an City, it also has two walls inside and outside. Is it necessary for us both to fight?"
"In the great Song Dynasty, the holy thing is the great thing." Zheng Huchen Road, commander of the imperial army.
"Don't whine," he said
After hearing this, Li Hu, the deputy commander of the Imperial Army, did not dare to say anything more, so he went out on the pretext that he had something to do.
Deputy commander Zheng Huchen has something to do with it. It's not a matter in the Imperial Army, but a private matter.
He took two of his entourage, mounted his horse, left the camp of the Imperial Army, and went to the Hubu yamen of his father-in-law, Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Hubu.
With frequent wars in the north and huge military expenditure, the income of the Ministry of accounts today is less than the expenditure. For this, Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Ministry of household, is sitting in the room worrying.
When he heard that his son-in-law, Li Hu, the deputy commander of the Imperial Army, had arrived, he was stunned and said, "since I became my son-in-law, I have never come to the Hubu Yamen to look for me. Is there something important happened?"
Thinking of this, he immediately asked his servant to bring in his son-in-law, Li Hu, deputy commander of the imperial army.
Li Hu, the deputy commander of the Imperial Army, bowed himself, saluted and said, "my son-in-law has seen my father-in-law."
"Get up, don't be polite." Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs, waved and said.
After Li Hu, the deputy commander of the Imperial Army, sat down, he said, "son-in-law, tell me about you."
"Father in law, how do you know that my son-in-law has something to do with you?" Deputy commander Li Yuhu asked.
Zhang Yihong, the Secretary of the Ministry of accounts, laughed and replied, "if I don't have the ability to pity you, then this secretary will be in vain."
"My father-in-law, you are so wise. When my son-in-law comes here, he really has something to discuss with you." Li Hudao, deputy commander of the imperial army.
He told his father-in-law, Zhang Yihong, the Secretary of the Ministry of household, the imperial edict conveyed in the palace.
Hearing this, Zhang Yihong, the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, said, "the father has just heard that this is the idea of King han to the emperor."
"King Han made trouble out of the palace and went outside Lin'an to hunt down the emperor. Now he encourages the emperor to go out. It seems that he is impatient!" He added.
Li Hu, the deputy commander of the Imperial Army, asked, "does your father-in-law mean that Han Wang will make a big move this time?"
"That's for sure." Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Ministry of accounts, replied.
Li Hu, the deputy commander of the Imperial Army, said: "the imperial army is under the control of Zheng Huchen and his son-in-law. As far as he knows, the king of Han has no confidants in the imperial army. Even if the emperor goes to the palace and is escorted by our Imperial Army, the father and son of the king of Han can't do anything about the emperor."
"With the brains of Han Wang and his allies, you can think of it, and they can think of it." Zhang Yihong, the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, said to him after listening to Li Hu, the deputy commander of the imperial army.
Li Hu, the deputy commander of the Imperial Army, asked, "does your father-in-law mean that Han Wang and his son will not act in the palace?"
"Ninety percent is impossible." Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Ministry of accounts, replied.
Li Hu, the deputy commander of the Imperial Army, asked, "did they move on the way to the palace?"
"It's possible, but it's unlikely." Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs.
At one time, he said that there was no such possibility, at another time, there was no such possibility, which made Li Hu, the deputy commander of the imperial army a little confused.
Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs, asked, "are you confused now, son-in-law?"
"You are right, father-in-law." Li Hu, deputy commander of the Imperial Army, replied.
Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs, said, "that's right."
"To tell you the truth, my father is very confused now." He added.
Li Hu, deputy commander of the Imperial Army, asked, "father in law, what are you confused about?"
"What is the ultimate goal of Han Wang and his son this time?" Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Ministry of accounts, replied.
After hearing this, Li Hu, the deputy commander of the Imperial Army, said, "since we don't understand, let's go to Jia Sidao, the prime minister."
"Originally, this matter had something to do with Prime Minister Jia Sidao." He added.
Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs, said, "the matter is to talk to Jia Xiang, but now is not the time."
"This matter is imminent. When will it wait?" Deputy commander Li Yuhu asked.
Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs, said: "we are working for Jia Xiang, but we should also pay attention to a strategy."
"At this time, we told Jia Xiang that the most we could do was to let him be alert." He added.Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs, really knows people's heart. Under normal circumstances, if you help others, they won't be so impressed. But when you help others in a critical moment, they will never forget you.
"But if we don't tell Jia Xiang in advance, what will Jia Xiang do afterwards when he blames us?" Li Hu, deputy commander of the Imperial Army, asked nervously.
Zhang Yihong, the Secretary of the Ministry of accounts, replied: "only you know what we have said here today. If you don't tell me, of course he doesn't know what Jia Xiang said."
"Do you know what to do next?" Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Ministry of accounts, asked Li Hudao, deputy commander of the imperial army.
Li Hu, deputy commander of the Imperial Army, worried that what he said was wrong, he said, "please make it clear to your father-in-law."
"This time with the emperor out of the palace, we must take all the elite soldiers under your command." Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs.
Li Hu, deputy commander of the Imperial Army, said: "please rest assured, father-in-law. My son-in-law will do as you say."
"As a father, there are many people here. If you have nothing else to do, go back." Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs.
Li Hu, deputy commander of the Imperial Army, came here just for the sake of the emperor's going out of the palace.
Now that this matter has been finished, he certainly has nothing to do with it.
After listening to his father-in-law, he left.
Li Hu, deputy commander of the Imperial Army, came to his father-in-law to discuss with him. Zheng Huchen, the orthodox leader of the Imperial Army, was not idle. He also went to the Minister of punishment, Lord Wen Tianxiang.
As a sixth disciple of Huangshan sect, his younger martial brother has come to Lin'an. As a elder martial brother, he has the responsibility and obligation to take good care of Xin Youxuan.
Even though they had been unhappy about hanyue, their brotherhood was still there.
Since he left Lin'an City and went to find the exquisite God, his younger martial brother Xin Youxuan and the wise God have not heard from him for so many days.
After the Ministry of punishment wrote to Lord Wen Tianxiang to tell Zheng Huchen, the commander of the Imperial Army, he was very worried.
If something happens to his younger martial brother in Lin'an, he really has no face. He is his master, the old leader of Xinran of Huangshan school.
But as the commander of the Imperial Army, he has too many official affairs recently. He can't find his little elder martial brother Xin Youxuan.
Today, there are just two things, public and private. Zheng Huchen, deputy commander of the imperial forest army, wants to discuss with Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment. After arranging the affairs in the military camp, he will go to see Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment.
Seeing that Zheng Huchen, commander of the imperial forest army, came, Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, said to him, "what a coincidence. I'm looking for you."
"Do you have anything to do, my lord?" After hearing this, Zheng Huchen, commander of the Imperial Army, asked.
Lord Wen Tianxiang, Secretary of the Ministry of punishment, replied, "I want to discuss with you one by one. I will start the sacred mission and ask the sacred mission to grant you a few days' leave. You can go to find your younger martial brother Xin Youxuan and miss Hongyin."
Come to him here, about little younger martial brother Xin Youxuan, is also one of them.
"I'm afraid it's going to be delayed, my Lord." After listening to the words of Wen Tianxiang, the Minister of the Ministry of punishment, Zheng Huchen, the deputy commander of the imperial forest army, said.
Mr. Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, asked, "why should we delay?"
"Not long ago, the general received an imperial edict in the military camp. The emperor wanted to go to the palace outside Lin'an City and let the imperial guards go with him." Zheng Huchen, commander of the Imperial Army, replied.
Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, said: "it's very common for the imperial guards to escort. You just let the deputy commander Li Hu go."
"But the imperial edict is to let the last general and deputy commander Li participate together." The king of the imperial forest led Zheng Huchen.
While they were talking, they heard someone shouting, "here's the edict."
After hearing this, he asked the commander of the imperial army to meet him.
"I'll take orders!" Lord Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, knelt down to the north and said.
The content of this edict, of course, is that after emperor LiZong left Lin'an City, the Minister of punishment stayed in Lin'an City to deal with the daily affairs of the court.
After reading the edict, the father-in-law was very polite. He personally picked up the Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, and said, "the officials have entrusted Mr. Wen with an important task this time. Congratulations, Mr. Wen."
"Thanks for your kind words, little father-in-law." Lord Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, said so.
He added: "little father-in-law, please sit down and have a cup of tea."
"There are still things in the slave palace. I dare not delay." The little father-in-law who read the edict declined.
He arched his hand at the Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, and said, "Mr. Wen, you are the slave of your mind."
Then he left and went out.
Seeing that the eunuch who read out the imperial edict left, the Minister of punishment, Lord Wen Tianxiang, let Zheng Huchen, the commander of the Imperial Army hiding behind, come out from behind.
"This time, the banquet was held in the imperial palace. The people in the imperial family, the officials of the imperial court and their families all went to the imperial palace outside Lin'an City, but only Mr. Wen was left behind. Is there anything fishy about it?" Asked Zheng Huchen, commander of the imperial army.Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, said: "my official and Han Wang's father and son have been friends for a long time. Their father and son have always been very supportive of my official. They can't go against my official."
He is very capable, but he is a gentleman.
Since the first time I met Zhao Yong, the eldest son of the Han family, I felt that Zhao Yong, the eldest son of the Han family, was outstanding and had the ambition of the northern expedition. He was a fellow of the Han family. Since then, Lord Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, has always regarded them as confidants and never doubted them.
In the mind of Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, Han Wang and his son can only do things that are beneficial to the Song Dynasty, but he will certainly not do things that are unfavorable.
"Mr. Wen, I don't know whether to say something or not?" Asked the commander.
The Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, replied, "you say it."
"Sometimes this person has two sides. To put it bluntly, some people may hide their dark side deeply." Zheng Huchen Road, commander of the imperial army.
At this time, Shang Shuwen of the Ministry of punishment understood the meaning of Zheng Huchen, the commander of the imperial army. He shook his head and said, "others may have this possibility, but in my opinion, Han Wang and his son will never have such two sides."
"They have only one side, that is, Zhongxing, our song dynasty." He added.
Seeing the attitude of Minister Wen Tianxiang of the Ministry of punishment, he knew that if he spoke ill of Han Wang and his son again, he would be disgusted by Minister Wen Tianxiang of the Ministry of punishment.
Such insightful officials as Lord Wen Tianxiang can be confused by Han Wang and his son.
It can be seen that Han Wang and his son are really good at acting.
Li Hu, deputy commander of the Imperial Army, followed the words of Lord Wen Tianxiang, Minister of justice of the Ministry of punishment, and said, "Lord Wen, you have a good point."
"For Han Wang and his son, Mo Jiang actually admires them on weekdays." He added.
Wen Tianxiang said: "that's right. At present, the court situation is complicated. Prime Minister Jia Sidao's gang has been staring at Han Wang and his son. These people always try their best to slander Han Wang and his son."
Originally, according to the thoughts of Zheng Huchen, the commander of the Imperial Army, he wanted to follow the words of the Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, and then take the opportunity to remind the Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang. Unexpectedly, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, the Minister of punishment, went to the prime Minister Jia Sidao again.
"Mr. Wen, do you think these recent events have something to do with Jia Xiang?" Asked Zheng Huchen, commander of the imperial army.
Mr. Wen Tianxiang replied, "I'm the Minister of the Ministry of punishment. At present, there is no evidence. It's hard to say."
When he said that, he obviously thought that the prime minister Jia seems to be the most suspicious.
Zheng Huchen, commander of the Imperial Army, was most worried about this. He was worried that the Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, would only focus on the prime minister Jia Sidao and not pay attention to other places. In this case, it is likely to be used by unidentified people.
At that time, there may be a big mess in the court.
There was no way. The commander of the imperial army had to say politely, "Mr. Wen, you are right to pay attention to the side of Jia Xiang. Just as you said, the court situation is complicated, and other forces should pay more attention to it."
