Chapter 1672 Extra Episode 4 Kang Wang Peiqian (Part 1)

"Officials, Mr. Li asks to see you."

Pei Qian, who was sleeping, opened his eyes and saw the embroidered golden silk curtain hanging down, embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, which looked priceless.

At the same time, the little eunuch's soft voice reminded him of some previous memories inexplicably.

This is the palace?

Why am I here?

By the way, I am the emperor, there seems to be nothing strange about appearing in the palace.

But why did this little eunuch call me "official"? This seems to be used to address the emperor only in certain dynasties, right?

Moreover, although the decoration here is quite luxurious, it doesn't look like a serious palace, but more like some kind of temporary residence.

It must have been too late last night...

Oh, by the way, I am still cultivating immortality!

Pei Qian, who woke up from his sleep, suddenly got some memories in his mind.

He clearly realized that this was not the dynasty he originally ruled, but a different world he was not familiar with.

In the original dynasty, Pei Qian was a wise ruler, but this was actually just a beautiful misunderstanding.

When he first came to the throne, in order to seek longevity, he tried his best to cut off the fate of the dynasty.

However, it was never expected that after just a few years, the entire dynasty would take on a new look.

Donghu, Nanman, Xirong, and Beidi were all wiped out, and the territory was expanded for thousands of miles; It even turned into a streak of purple air that soared into the sky, straight into the sky, filling the space between heaven and earth in a mighty way.

If it is an ordinary person, they may have given up at this time.

It seems impossible to live forever, but as long as you let go of your hands and govern, you can also be a carefree king of a country, soak in the three thousand beauties in the harem, give birth to a hundred or eighty princes and daughters, and enjoy the world. Family fun.

A hundred years later, it will be published in the history books, and it must be full of praise.

However, Pei Qian is by no means a person who would give up easily.

Even in the midst of such great adversity, he never thought of lying flat.

Therefore, Pei Qian decided to change his mind and made many other attempts.

For example, he became a bandit and took his own soldiers to join the Liangzhou banditry; another example was raising a tiger, making Meng Chang the king of Qingzhou, and then digging the Grand Canal to create the soil for him to rebel.

Unfortunately, these attempts all ended in failure.

With Meng Chang's disarmament and return to the field, Pei Qian also suffered a serious blow, and was depressed for a long time because of it.

Looking at the thriving dynasty and listening to the good news from the overseas fleet every once in a while, Pei Qian realized a fact helplessly.

That is: In this world, I am afraid that there is nothing that can make me become a fairy...

After some manipulations by him, this dynasty has condensed an unprecedented great fortune, and such great fortune is enough to create a dynasty with a state of six or seven hundred years. In the end, Pei Qian's life may not be able to change this fact.

The key is that after doing all possible directions, Pei Qian has been exhausted of inspiration, and he really can't think of other ways to reduce the national fortune.

When he was desperate, Pei Qian thought hard and finally found a new breakthrough.

Because the dynasty he originally belonged to was a dynasty with mysterious power!

There are mysterious dynasty luck, there are national teachers who devour luck, there are dragons, there are monster dragons, and there are mysterious swordsmen who can kill sea beasts at will.

Then, naturally there is a solution to the problem.

Under Pei Qian's repeated requests, Tang Yishu, the national teacher, finally reluctantly agreed to use the secret technique found in the deep palace for him and perform the secret technique.

And the effect of this secret technique is to allow him to use his soul state to travel through the chaotic time and space turbulence, come to another world, and possess those fatuous masters who harm the country and the people.

Most of these stupid lords are already in the middle and late stages of the dynasty, and the luck of the world is scattered, which is already a sign of troubled times.

In this case, if they are the powerful ZTE masters, they may still be able to turn the tide.

However, most of these fatuous lords have no ambitions and indulge in pleasure. Although most of them are peaceful, they have already laid the root of disaster for the downfall of the dynasty.

Of course, the reason why Pei Qian tried his best to cross over to these stupid kings through secret techniques was not for the grand and empty goal of saving the other world.

After all, what he wears is the history that has already happened in another world. Even if he does something, it is nothing more than rewriting the phantom of history, and it is impossible to really change the fate of those people.

Therefore, Pei Qian's purpose, in the final analysis, is to use these foolish monarchs to weaken his national fortune.

In the secret technique, Pei Qian bound his own luck to these foolish kings of other worlds, so that both will prosper and all will suffer.

If he does nothing, the history of the other world will proceed as usual, generally speaking, it will be in a state of slowly weakening.

But of course Pei Qian will not be satisfied with this.

This kind of secret technique is limited, Pei Qian can't directly travel to those subjugated kings who will be hanged the next day, and enjoy the benefits.

He can only travel to those faint kings who are in the middle of the dynasty, are facing a huge crisis, and have caused serious consequences.

And Pei Qian's goal is very clear, that is to make this crisis bigger!

For example, even if you know that you can't defeat the enemy, you can continue to live in a corner of the country for a hundred years, but what if the emperor, who is good at cooking and loves to play, wants to play a game of imperial conquest on a whim?

Wouldn't that send out the century-old Guozuo in an instant?

Think about it, you've made a lot of money.

At this time, he had already obtained such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Let Li Xiang wait a moment, I will be there soon."

After grooming, the memory of this different world in Pei Qian's mind gradually became clearer.

The Li Xiang who came to visit was called Li Gang. He was the left minister of the Jianyan court at this time, and he was an important minister of the country.

And the body he passed through was Generalissimo of Hebei Bingma, the ninth son of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, King Kang Zhaogou.

This place is Yingtian Mansion.

A few days ago, under the witness of many civil and military bureaucrats, Zhao Gou went to the altar to announce to the world, officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, changed his year name to "Jianyan", and became the tenth emperor of the Zhao Song Dynasty.

As for how he came to the throne, it's a long story.

The Jin people went south, and under the coquettish manipulation of Song Huizong and Song Qinzong, two living treasures, they successfully caused the Jingkang Change, and the two kings went north.

The so-called Kitakari is nothing more than a whitewash. To be more precise, they were taken away by the Jinren and used as playthings.

In this case, Zhao Gou, as the ninth son and the Marshal of Hebei Bingma conferred by the former emperor, has enough legitimacy to ascend the throne. In order to continue the Zhao Song Dynasty, a group of ministers fled south with Zhao Gou and re-established the Jianyan court.

"So, what should I do now? It's such a headache not knowing what's going to happen..."

As a person who traveled from another world, Pei Qian could know Zhao Gou's memory and the basic situation of this world, but he knew nothing about what would happen in the future.

Those who are loyal ministers should be reprimanded, and those who are treacherous ministers should be reused, even more so.

He can only make rough inferences based on Zhao Gou's original memory.

As for the people Zhao Gou didn't know well before... then he could only trust his own eyesight.

Soon, Pei Qian saw this left prime minister Li Gang.

He looked very old, with gray beard and hair, but he was tall and strong, with piercing eyes, especially a pair of fists the size of sandbags, which would definitely hurt if he hit him.

"What's the matter with Prime Minister Zuo?" Pei Qian asked casually.

Li Gang's voice was like Hong Zhong: "Please tell the officials whether you want to go to Yangzhou in the south or return to Bianjing in the north? No matter what, the officials can issue an edict to reassure the people of the world!

"This matter has been delayed for a long time, and the imperial court's order has been changed overnight, and the people of the world are in panic. Please make a decision as soon as possible!"

Pei Qian narrowed his eyes slightly, and many pictures of Li Gang from Zhao Gou's original memory came to mind.

Hmm... This seems to be a minister of the main combat faction. During the Jingkang Incident, he advocated the defense of Bianliang, the capital, and achieved good results.

It's a pity that the two former emperors made a brilliant move later and sent back all the results of the previous defense.

From this point of view, this Li Gang is a minister of humility?

Shouldn't it be demoted immediately?

otherwise!

As soon as Pei Qian had this idea in his mind, he immediately denied it.

It doesn't matter whether Li Gang is a minister of the brachius or not, but since he is a minister of the main combat faction, he is worth using.

If there is no foreign aggression at this time and the world is peaceful, then Pei Qian must use the treacherous ministers in his eyes to weaken the dynasty's luck. But the golden man in this different world is so terrifying, and he feels that the entire Song Dynasty can be wiped out overnight, so why go far away?

If Pei Qian really relegated Li Gang, the whole court would become dominated by the peace faction...

Then how can he go to the imperial conquest?

At that time, if the entire Song Dynasty really moves to the south, relying on the natural guards of the Huaihe River and the Yangtze River, there is a high probability that it will be able to hold it.

Pei Qian doesn't have much time, how can he spend it like this with them. What if he arrives in the south, the battle is not fought, and his dream is about to wake up again, wouldn't it be a waste of hard work to use secret techniques to travel here?

Therefore, the main combat faction must be reused!

This battle must be fought!

Of course, both Zhao Gou's memory and the thoughts of many ministers around him told Pei Qian that the possibility of winning this battle was extremely slim.

In the past hundred years, the Song Dynasty won less and lost more in foreign wars. Although it has been boasting that the winning rate is very high, there is obviously a big problem with the statistical method of this winning rate.

The Jin soldiers came to attack the city, but they didn't take it down. They went around and plundered and left. This can also be regarded as a victory of the Song Dynasty.

The more field battles, the more large-scale battles. When Song Jun and Jin Bing met, basically it was as much as they got, and the units were calculated in 100,000.

Pei Qian couldn't help but sigh with emotion, the title of the country in this different world is indeed not wrong, it is indeed a big gift.

Therefore, it seems very simple to lose luck in this world: you just need to replace all the people in the court with screaming main fighters, and then there will be a wave of imperial conquests, commanding a bunch of mob A to go up, and finally the emperor If you die in battle and die for your country, you will live together.

Thinking of this, Pei Qian decided to reuse this Li Gang first, and drive away all those peacemakers.

If it is found that he is particularly capable of fighting...won't it be enough to replace him with someone who can't fight?

Thinking of this, Pei Qian immediately said loudly: "Of course we want to return Bianjing to the north! My Song Dynasty's ancestral temples are all in Bianjing, and the foundations of the past dynasties, how can I easily ignore them? Is it like a person who is looking forward and looking forward to the future, greedy for life and afraid of death?" Christian?"

Li Gang's wrinkled eyes were piercing, and he looked at Pei Qian with three points of doubt and seven points of surprise.

That meaning seems to be saying, what kind of person are you, do you have no idea?

Facing Li Gang's gaze, Pei Qian suddenly felt guilty.

Because some memories of Zhao Gou surfaced in his mind.

In the past, shortly after Li Gang became the prime minister, he made three requests to Zhao Gou: first, he asked Zhao Gou to return to Luan and Bianjing, so as to express his determination to regain the lost land to the world and the Jin people; second, he asked Zhao Gou to severely punish Zhang Bangchang and others. The traitor; Thirdly, Zhao Gou is asked to immediately set up appeasement envoys in Hebei and Hedong, so as to make full use of the spark-like folk anti-gold forces in the two places, in order to regain the lost ground.

As a result, Zhao Gou apparently agreed to Li Gang's suggestion, and agreed to the candidates he recommended for the commanders of Hebei and Hedong, but then issued an edict to make Jingxiang, Jianghuai and other places prepare to welcome Shengjia.

At the end of the month, Zhao Gou first showed the ministers the secret edict of Huizong that he had just obtained, and wept bitterly in front of the ministers, as if showing some kind of determination to conquest himself; but then he issued an edict announcing that the empress dowager and her family members would be moved to Yangzhou Living here is obviously preparing for the entire imperial court's southward journey to Yangzhou.

As for the small imperial court at this time, most of the subjects except Li Gang were thinking about going to Yangzhou. Even all kinds of matters in Yangzhou have been arranged.

What does it mean?

Obviously, the original Zhao Gou didn't want to go to Jinren at all, he just wanted to go to a quiet corner of the prosperous south immediately; but the problem is, the shame of Jingkang is really too shameful, and he is embarrassed to say that he He has no determination to fight against gold at all, so he is often forced to make some gestures, showing that he, the emperor, still has Kyushu Wanfang in his heart.

As a result, a state of schizophrenia appeared, and the order changed day by day, sending two diametrically opposed political signals.

So, Li Gang finally couldn't bear it anymore.

This time he came to play the right thing face to face, and he didn't ask to return to Bianjing, but let the officials make a decision early. That means, if you yearn to run south, that's fine too, the minister compromised, let's hurry up and start, don't be wasted here all the time!

It's just that Li Gang never expected that he would get such a pleasant and unexpected answer.

Although he suspected that there was some kind of conspiracy behind this, Li Gang thought about it again. After all, you are not joking, and it seems that this new official is not guilty of molesting Zaizhi, so he still admitted it suspiciously.

"Okay, since that's the case, then I ask Li Xiang to prepare a plan to return to Bianjing and plan to fight against the gold, and discuss it with the ministers at the court meeting tomorrow!"

Pei Qian pushed everything to Li Gang, and then walked away.

"Officials wait a minute! I'm afraid this is not in accordance with the etiquette..."

Li Gang was taken aback and wanted to say a few more words, but the emperor had disappeared.

At this moment, Li Gang suddenly had a very strange feeling.

This seems to be completely different from the official family he knew before...

Of course, if we only talk about these behaviors, this official seems to have become more elusive, more naive, and more like running all the way towards a faint or tyrant...

But Li Gang vaguely felt that this official seemed to suddenly have a special aura.

It seems... more like a man of heaven?

At this time, Li Gang didn't know that this was the result of Pei Qian's great luck after crossing. He just thought that a ceremony was held a few days ago to officially proclaim himself emperor, so he was honored by the heaven, which added a bit of the emperor's spirit.

No time to think about it, Li Gang had no choice but to follow what the emperor said and go back to prepare the correct content for the next court meeting.

...

The court meeting the next day.

Pei Qian sat on the high dragon chair and looked down at the officials.

Well, I don't know them very well, only a few faces in the front are more familiar.

These familiarities all come from Zhao Gou's original memory.

It turned out that Zhao Gou was originally only the Ninth Prince, and it stands to reason that it was not his turn to arrange for the throne.

But in the Jingkang Incident, Zhao Gou also got shit luck. He was supposed to go to Jinying as a hostage, but he performed well at that time. He was both heroic and majestic. This obsequious and cowardly perception is extremely inconsistent, so I seriously suspect that someone has been replaced by an impostor, and I insist on letting the court replace me.

So Zhao Gou inexplicably became the only surviving prince during the Jingkang Incident, and later became the Marshal of Hebei Bingma, and later, after the Jingkang Incident, the officials supported him as the new emperor.

At this time, the small court was not yet stable, and the court was divided into two distinct factions, or even more factions.

There are two distinct factions, one is Li Gang and other former ministers. Most of them had official positions under the two emperors Huizong and Qinzong, and for various reasons survived the Jingkang Incident and were not taken captive, so they came to this small court.

The other faction is Zhao Gou as Kang Wang, the original group of confidants. For example, Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan, who have always advocated avoiding the enemy and negotiating peace in the morale of the Generalissimo's Mansion.

If it is subdivided further, there are different factions such as main war, main and so on.

In fact, the original Zhao Gou had no interest in appointing Li Gang as the left prime minister at all, but the voices of the people in the world were too loud, so he had to be appointed as the prime minister to show his determination to fight against the Jin people and regain lost ground.

To put it bluntly, it is still a temporary move to win people's hearts. Once the situation stabilizes, Zhao Gou will never stay with someone like Li Gang.

Of course, after recalling Li Gang, Zhao Gou also had an unexpected joy.

Originally, the gang of trash under him couldn't even set up a serious grass-roots team, but after Li Gang came, he planned to set up this team.

It's just that for Zhao Gou who doesn't know what to do, he won't know this.

This also buried a small hole for Pei Qian who traveled through.

"Li Xiang, tell me about the return to Bianjing."

In another world, Pei Qian was the one and only emperor, so even if he was in the temporary palace, even if he said a word casually, he would naturally carry the majesty of the emperor, making people feel like a grand master, shocking inexplicably.

As for Wang Boyan, Huang Qianshan and other old ministers who wholeheartedly brought Zhao Gou to Yangzhou, the words "return to Bianjing" are like a bolt from the blue.

It's just that they didn't speak out immediately, not because they didn't dare to speak, but because they were dumbfounded.

The emperor in front of them seemed to have become unfamiliar overnight, and they couldn't even believe that these four words came from the emperor's mouth.

Therefore, it wasn't until Li Gang finished a complete set of strategies in an orderly manner that the two men realized that there would be a big problem with today's court.

If they don't say anything else, I'm afraid that not only will all previous efforts be wasted, but they will die without a place to bury them!

Wang Boyan was the first to speak up.

"Officials, absolutely not! Bianjing is a desperate place at this time, and the Jin people may cross the river again at any time, how can the official family face danger again with the supreme body?

"Yangzhou has already made arrangements, and everything will be on the right track when the official sage arrives. How can the official be hesitant and indecisive at this time?

"This Bianjing, absolutely can't go!"

As soon as this remark came out, many officials also responded one after another.

The content is similar, nothing more than Bianliang is too dangerous, you can go but it is unnecessary, the imperial court has not stabilized the fight against Jin, and so on.

Pei Qian didn't speak until the ministers had basically finished their opinions, and then said: "So you all think so? Hey, I really think Yangzhou is better, but Bianjing is my How can the old capital be destroyed..."

Hearing these words, Wang Boyan couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he understood clearly.

No wonder!

I thought the officials were really going back to Bianliang, but it was a false alarm.

It seems that the officials are just making a gesture as before, finding a suitable reason, and blocking the mouth of the world.

He immediately said: "The government can send a capable person to welcome the gods of the emperors of our dynasty back to Tianfu, and then send an important minister to guard Bianjing. The deputy marshal Zong is a very good candidate..."

Pei Qian glanced at many officials: "What do you think, my loves? Don't be dumbfounded and express your own opinions. I am a magnanimous monarch. If you tell the truth, I will not do anything to you."

Under the emperor's roll call, these ministers also expressed their opinions.

Most of them agreed with Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan's statement, they all argued for the correctness and necessity of the Southern Tour, and they also proposed plans for Li Gang, Zong Ze and others to go to the north to clean up the mess.

Only a small number of officials directly expressed their opposition, while some officials did not say what they said to death. They just said "Please ask the officials to judge" over and over again, which means that we are all tool people with no ideas, and the emperor decides for himself Bar.

Finally, Pei Qian looked at Li Gang again.

"Li Xiang, what do you think?"

Li Gang pondered for a moment, and finally said with some reluctance: "If the officials want to temporarily leave the Central Plains and avoid the edge of the Jinren, it is not impossible. I think that Guanzhong is the top, Xiang and Deng are second, and Jiankang is the bottom.

"Even if Your Majesty cannot take the best policy to go to Guanzhong, you should go to Xiangdeng and Nanyang to tie the hearts of the world."

Obviously, Li Gang also realized that most officials in this small court, and even the emperor himself, still prefer to move south.

But even if he avoided the front of the soldiers and did not return to Bianjing, Li Gang believed that he should not run further south.

The reason is simple: to tie the heart of the world.

If the emperor ran away to the far south in a flash, it was almost like announcing to the world directly: I have run away! I don't want all the places in the north!

But what if the emperor didn't run that far? Then the people of Song Dynasty in the northern land would still feel that Wang Shi would still return and would continue to fight.

This is obviously a compromise Li Gang made in the face of adversity.

However, just as he finished speaking, the emperor slapped the armrest and stood up angrily.

"Li Xiang, what are you talking about! I just wanted to test the ministers just now, to see if there are people from the Northland in your hearts, and if you have the courage to be ashamed!

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, all of you disappointed me so much!

"What face do you have to be an official in my court for a person who is just living in vain?

"Li Xiang, do you remember those officials who said they wanted to go south?

"I'll give you three days to demote all these people, the farther the better!"

Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan looked at each other in shock, and once again couldn't believe their ears.

It turns out that the officials showed support for moving south just now, were they...fishing?

Seeing that everyone was stunned, Pei Qian looked at Li Gang coldly: "Why, Li Xiang, didn't you understand what I said?"

Only then did Li Gang come to his senses, and hurriedly saluted: "I must live up to the official's trust!"

"That's the way to go, Sanchao!" Pei Qian was about to walk away.

Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan realized what was going on. It wasn't that they were slow to react, but that what Pei Qian had done at this time was too shocking, and it was too unreasonable not to mention the rules of political struggle in the Song Dynasty.

But after reacting, they also knew that they had to fight to the death at this time.

"Officials! Absolutely no!

"Li Gang is a domineering person. My child regards His Majesty. If Your Majesty allows this person to do whatever he wants, I am afraid that everyone in the court will become this person's henchman. He will surely deceive Sheng Cong and isolate the inside and outside. There will be unexpected dangers!"

In desperation, Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan no longer referred to them as "officials", but changed their titles to His Majesty, and finally all their criticisms of Li Gang were brought to the fore.

Although they didn't know how the emperor took the wrong medicine today, judging from the emperor's attitude, if they didn't fight hard at this time, it would be as difficult as going to heaven if they wanted to see the emperor in private.

These two people's attacks on Li Gang mainly consisted of two points.

The first is "children watching His Majesty", and the second is "cultivating party members".

And the reason why they use these two points to criticize Li Gang is naturally because it is true.

Li Gang really treats Zhao Gou as a child. On the one hand, this is because Zhao Gou is indeed very young, and he is not expected to be an emperor. He is so naive in front of an old Jianghu like Li Gang; The Second Emperor Huiqin had already given Li Gang some psychological shadows, so Li Gang didn't expect Zhao Gou to understand his good intentions.

As for cultivating party members, the entire small imperial court at this time was formed by Li Gang. Although there were Zhao Gou's old team like Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan, Li Gang naturally looked down on them, and he had to arrange himself in key positions as much as possible. People who deserve it.

In the eyes of Wang Boyan and others, and even Zhao Gou, this is naturally an act of cultivating party members.

It's just that Zhao Gou and these people were trying to restrict Li Gang in every possible way, let the multiple forces achieve a balance, and looked for a suitable opportunity to kick Li Gang away.

But now, Zhao Gou suddenly let Li Gang do whatever he wants...is that okay?

It's just that Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan cried and complained, but His Majesty the emperor seemed to turn a deaf ear and walked away on his own.

"His Majesty!"

Wang Boyan couldn't care about his image anymore, he threw himself forward and was about to hug the emperor's thigh on the spot.

He was confident that he was Zhao Gou's confidant, even if he acted in a hurry and did some overstepping the rules, it wouldn't hurt.

You have to save your life first.

However, in the next second, a scene that none of the officials in the court had expected happened happened.

I saw that His Majesty the Emperor actually... kicked Wang Boyan away with a kick!

"So much bullshit!

"Are you the emperor or am I the emperor?

"I can't speak well, can I?"

All the officials in the court were stunned, and Li Gang was even more stunned.

At this time, His Majesty's behavior looked like a domineering tyrant, but for some reason, Li Gang's eyes were slightly moist...

Wang Boyan, who was kicked to the ground, clutched his heart and froze for a moment, unable to understand what happened before his eyes.

But immediately after, he seemed to put on a posture of smashing and smashing, and wanted to pounce on it again.

Pei Qian flashed sideways and said loudly, "Li Gang!"

Only then did Li Gang come back to his senses, and hurriedly took a step forward: "The minister is here!"

Pei Qian pointed to Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan: "I order you to beat these two out!"

Seeing Li Gang's bewildered face, Pei Qian suddenly said: "Oh, I forgot that you are old, so in this case, you find someone else to fight and beat these two people out!"

Li Gang shook his head, then rolled up his sleeves happily: "No, I want to do it myself!"

Soon, all the officials in the court saw a suffocating scene.

Although Li Gang is getting old, his sandbag-sized fist is not just for display.

After a fistful of punches, he followed up with a few heart-warming kicks, beating Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan, two important ministers, to the bum on the spot, almost scrambling and fleeing from the hall.

Pei Qian nodded approvingly, and scanned the audience again.

The other officials all bowed their heads silently.

Pei Qian sneered: "Li Gang! Whoever dares to play with me in the future, you can hit me like today!

"Do you think I am a benevolent gentleman?

"Then you are wrong! From today on, I will be the first-class tyrant in the world, hold back if I refuse to accept it!

"Li Gang, remember what I said before, within three days I will drive out all these stupid officials who said they want to go south, I don't want to see them again!"

After all, Pei Qian left in a huff.

No one dared to step forward this time. Li Gang's actions were so ruthless that many officials couldn't help covering their private parts.

They were worried that after being beaten up by Li Gang, they would not have the same luck as Tong Guan who became king as an eunuch.

As for Li Gang, with tears in his eyes, he said with emotion: "Your Majesty...has the style of Taizu..."

It is said that when the Song Dynasty was first established, Taizu Zhao Kuangyin got along with his courtiers in the same way.

Some people even suspect that perhaps Zhao Gou... is from the lineage of Taizu?

I always feel that Taizong's head seems a little green.

...

In the blink of an eye, several days passed.

Li Gang's efficiency was indeed very high. Within three days, all the officials who had persuaded Pei Qian to go south were cleaned up, relegated or dismissed.

At the beginning, Li Gang was quite careful, and each official played individually, stating in detail how he would deal with it, and asked Pei Qian to review it.

Of course Pei Qian wouldn't read it, and directly called Li Gang to reprimand him.

"I think you are a veteran of the three dynasties, so you are entrusted with this important task. I didn't expect you to be such a mother-in-law!

"How can you play everything at the same time? I don't want the process, I only want the result!"

Therefore, Li Gang completely let go of his hands and feet, and when the court meeting was held a few days later, all the familiar faces in Zhao Gou's memory had disappeared, and all the new ones were replaced.

Pei Qian was very happy, and felt that he had seen the right person, and that Li Gang was capable of doing things.

So at the court meeting, they talked about the Northern Expedition again.

"Li Xiang, if all the traitors and sycophants are gone, can I start the Northern Expedition?"

Li Gang also said with emotion: "Although Bianjing is still under preparation, the officials can indeed prepare to leave for Bian... Wait, what did the officials just say?"

Li Gang was dumbfounded.

He always thought that after this drastic operation, the next step was nothing more than to let the emperor return to Bianliang and call on the people of the world to fight against the gold.

As for actually using troops against the Jinren...

That's still a very distant thing.

After all, Li Gang had commanded the defense of Bianliang, and had dealt with Zhong Shidao, Zong Ze and others. He knew very well what the fighting power of the Song army was at this time.

To put it bluntly, it is impossible to defeat the Jin people in the short term. Returning to Bianliang is to make a gesture and win people's hearts. Next, we must find ways to train troops and find ways to contact the rebels in the occupied areas. After making careful preparations, Only then can we talk about regaining lost ground.

In the end, His Majesty actually asked, is it possible to start the Northern Expedition now?

Is this a desire to reunite with Emperor Huiqin as soon as possible...

Pei Qian looked as usual: "I said, is it possible to start the Northern Expedition?

"The golden people ravaged our land in the Great Song Dynasty, and there are countless refugees waiting to be fed like baby birds, waiting for the king's master. If I can't recover the lost land and get rid of the shame, I will have trouble sleeping and eating!

"So, I can't wait for a day, and immediately make a plan for me, summon the soldiers of the world, and march in person!"

Li Gang's face changed drastically: "Officials, absolutely not! Although our court still has soldiers who can fight, after repeated defeats, the soldiers have no fighting spirit, and the Jin soldiers are in full swing, so we must not act rashly.

"Especially when the royal conquest is in person, how can the emperor be in a desperate situation? Even if you want to use troops against the Jin people, you must make careful preparations, and you must not rush!"

Pei Qian was a little unhappy, but after thinking about it, Li Gang gave such an answer as expected.

After all, as an emperor, he only had one idea, which was to give it away, but even if Li Gang was a main fighter, he still had to think carefully.

"According to Li Xiangzhi, how long will it take to prepare?"

Li Gang thought for a while: "When I returned to the official's house, I thought that if I want to cut gold, I have to prepare for five years."

Pei Qian frowned, very unhappy.

five years?

I have spent so much effort to get here, and I have to wait for you for five years?

More importantly, after getting along for this period of time, he vaguely realized that Li Gang is indeed capable of doing things. If you give him five years, maybe he can really train a strong army of tough King Kong people.

How can that work?

Pei Qian sighed silently. It seemed that Li Gang should stop here.

After he was asked to drive away all the trash from the Lord Peace Faction, his mission was basically accomplished.

The next thing Pei Qian has to do is very simple, that is to find a way to find an unreliable general, gradually hand over the general's power, and then start the imperial conquest as soon as possible!

Didn't you, Li Gang, take five years to fight?

Then I will find a general who dares to fight in three years, or even two years.

Thinking of this, Pei Qian looked at the other officials, especially some military officers: "Who is sure to cut gold within five years?"

Pei Qian was very sure that as long as someone stood up and said that he could cut gold within five years, he would immediately become the next privy envoy, and even become the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses.

As for the Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses... that can't be given, that is Pei Qian himself.

If two people bid at the same time, who should it go to? Of course, it depends on who promises a short time.

To Pei Qian's disappointment, all the officials in front of him lowered their heads, not daring to look at him at all.

There were even a few unscrupulous ministers who echoed Li Gang's statement, saying that the cutting of gold was too important and should be done slowly.

"Xu Xutu's ass! A bunch of trash! How can I share my worries!"

Pei Qian walked away in a huff.

...

Back in his bedroom, Pei Qian was still furious.

These courtiers are too imaginative!

In fact, Pei Qian just wanted to find a general who was very happy and didn't know what to do, so he could take the emperor with him as soon as possible.

But it's a pity that many of these people in the court are promoted by Li Gang. They seem to be... a little too rational.

If you want to find this suitable general, I'm afraid you can only go to the grassroots.

As we all know, there should be the most keyboard warriors among the grassroots soldiers, and there are also enthusiastic stunners.

Finding a suitable candidate for promotion will naturally solve the urgent need.

It's just... where to start?

Pei Qian couldn't recognize all these people at all, and naturally he had no way of knowing who was stunned. It's too unrealistic to summon them one by one.

After thinking about it, I decided to look through the recent memorials to see if I could gain anything.

After turning over and over, a thick letter appeared in front of Pei Qian's eyes.

"Your Majesty has ascended the Great Treasure, Li Yuan has returned, and the country has its owner..."

Thousands of words are eloquent, and the content is indeed quite a lot.

Pei Qian felt a little headache watching it, but for the sake of planning, he continued to watch it patiently.

This memorandum really did not disappoint him, because after only a few paragraphs, Pei Qian grasped the key points decisively and found what he wanted.

"Li Gang, Huang Qianshan, and Wang Boyan cannot follow His Majesty's wishes, restore their old borders, welcome back the two saints, drive southward with chariots, and order Chang'an, Weiyang, and Xiangyang to prepare for patrols. It is the hope of the Central Plains! Although the generals and ministers worked hard, they succeeded in the end. For the current plan, please drive back to Beijing, and cancel the order of the three states to patrol. , personally commanding the six armies, and crossing northward, the majesty of heaven will come, the generals will be united, the soldiers will be brave, and the land of the Central Plains will be restored!"

The meaning of this passage is actually very clear: Your Majesty, you have just ascended the throne not long ago, why are you only thinking about running south?

Li Gang, Huang Qianshan, and Wang Boyan don't know anything, and they just know to go to the south to be safe. If this continues, won't the expectations of the people in the Central Plains all come to nothing?

The emperor ran so far, so no matter how hard the anti-gold generals in the Central Plains tried, how could they win?

So don't run away, hurry back to Bianliang, taking advantage of the fact that the Jingkang Incident has not happened for a long time, and taking advantage of the fact that the rule of the Jin people over the north has not yet been stabilized, His Majesty should personally lead the six armies and the imperial conquest, and when the time comes, the Central Plains The golden man can only be beaten on the ground by His Majesty!

Seeing this memorial, Pei Qian wanted to overwhelm it.

It really won my heart!

What surprised him in particular was that the person who wrote the letter was not only a staunch fighter, but also a more determined fighter than Li Gang Yao.

In his letter, he not only scolded Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan, the two true peace advocates, but also scolded Li Gang, the advocate of war, along with him.

What does this mean?

If the main battle is not thorough, it means not to take the main battle at all!

Very extreme, but I like it!

Isn't this just the talent I'm looking for? The attributes of the keyboard man are almost overflowing the paper!

Pei Qian immediately shouted: "Come here! Call Yang Sheren to me!"

A few moments later a young officer arrived.

This person was Yang Yizhong, and he was very loyal to Zhao Gou. Considering that he couldn't restrain Li Gang, Pei Qian kept him. After all, this person was born in the army, and you can ask him about any military matters, so as not to be fooled by Li Gang.

"Yang Sheren, take a look at this memorial."

Pei Qian said, and handed over the memorial in his hand.

Yang Yizhong took it respectfully and read it carefully.

Pei Qian asked: "What official position is this person? Do you know?"

Yang Yizhong nodded and answered: "Going back to the official family, I know clearly. This person is from Xiangzhou, Hebei. He was originally under the command of Deputy Commander Liu of the Marshal's Mansion. Later, he was awarded the title of Wu Yilang. He is famous for his outstanding martial arts...

"I drank wine with my ministers in the marshal's mansion before. This time, he leapfrogged his rank and submitted a letter to the officials, asking the officials to lead the expedition in person, and impeached the three ministers for wronging the country...

"He is just a little Wu Yilang and a military officer. He doesn't know the general situation of the court and the situation on the front line, but he speaks of impeachment. Most of this is trying to gain his name like a speech officer...

"I dare not cover it up for him. Such words and deeds are serious crimes. Please ask the officials to remove him from all military posts and drive him out of the army."

Pei Qian couldn't help but his eyes lit up: "Oh?"

Sure enough, it matched the content on the memorial.

High-end keyboard man!

And it's the kind of keyboard man who likes to say "I'm good at it"!

"How old is he this year?" Pei Qian asked again.

Yang Yizhong answered truthfully: "Twenty out of four."

"Okay!" Pei Qian couldn't help shouting, isn't this the talent he is looking for?

Li Gang didn't dare to fight, so he insisted on saying what he wanted five years later...

Where is the time to wait for you for five years?

But Wu Yilang, who was only 24 years old and didn't know the heights of the heavens and the earth, felt that the emperor could directly conquer Jin Rengang directly.

Doesn't this coincide with Pei Qian's thoughts?

Removal of all military posts? Drive out of the army?

Just kidding, I drove him away, where can I find such a general?

Pei Qian immediately said: "Invite him to me immediately, and I will make him the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses!"

Rao Yang Yizhong had seen all kinds of outrageous words and deeds after the official's temperament changed in the past few days, and he was a little shocked at this time, not sure, thinking that the official was joking.

Pei Qian's face darkened: "Hurry up!"

Yang Yizhong hastily bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, leave!"

After sending the Yang Sheren away, Pei Qian picked up the memorial with satisfaction and read it several times.

"I can't wait to meet this young general named Yue Fei and Yue Pengju now, and we can have a long talk about Tianming!"

Pei Qian said with emotion.

During this period of time, readers often came to urge me to write another episode, but I didn’t have any ideas so I didn’t start writing. Today I took the time to write briefly, but found that the number of words was a bit too much and I couldn’t finish it. We have to wait another two or three days for the second half.
