Chapter 1,770 This Era of Burning Passion

Zhuang Laoshi led his men and drove a cart to deliver 20,000 strings of banknotes and copper coins to the Wang family. He accompanied the uneasy Mrs. Wang Jin to Da Song Bank and deposited the money.

Calculated according to the current interest rate, the interest on this money alone can allow the Wang family to live a good life without worrying about food and clothing.

Wang Jin had a meal at home, gave instructions to his wife and children, then changed his clothes and went out.

There was a government official waiting outside the door, and Wang Jin said, "I still want to go to Yulin Alley."

He later appeared in Yulin Alley, knelt down and kowtowed at the side door, then got up and followed the government officials to the prison.

Three years of prison life is essential, but the money of 20,000 pounds makes these three years of imprisonment more comical.

Su Shi comes out, who is that person behind him?

The people from the Imperial City Division were taken back, and the country soldiers returned to the outside of the city. This matter seemed to have disappeared.

The river embankment is constantly being repaired, which consumes a lot of money and food every day.

News from the north is still coming.

Fu Bi had already arrived at the foot of Youzhou City, and Shen An's arbitrary behavior was over.

Some people were rejoicing. Wen Yanbo sighed: "These idiots, on the battlefield, Fu Bi will only listen to Shen An. Why are they happy?"

Sima Guang also felt that those people were stupid, "There is still no news about the man who kidnapped Su Shi."

Wen Yanbo suddenly laughed, "You have to know that Shen An is in the north, which is good news for that person."

"Yes." Sima Guang knew that if Shen An was in Bianliang, that person would have his legs broken and be thrown to a place where birds don't poop.

"The Shen family can make people fearful just by relying on their financial resources." Wen Yanbo said with a bitter smile: "Yang Zhuoxue warned many people with 20,000 yuan, but the person behind him was not found."

"When Shen An comes back, he will continue to look for him." Sima Guang said, "That man is determined to avenge himself."

Wang Jin didn't know the details of the person behind him, so the whole Bianliang felt that the person was unlucky.

In Qingning Palace, Zhao Xu's shadow was stretched long by the candlelight. He put down the brush and said casually: "Do it!"

"yes."

Wang Chongnian hurried out.

He found Zhang Ba8.

"The king has an order, take action!"

Zhang Baibian looked at him, "Does your Majesty know the consequences of doing this?"

Wang Chongnian said: "What do you think?"

Zhang Baibian nodded, and then ordered: "Kill Li Nian and throw the body outside the place where Su Shi was imprisoned."

Bianliang was shocked the next morning when Li Nian's body was found outside the courtyard.

Li Nian is He Jindong's brother-in-law, and it was through He Jindong that he made his fortune. He Jindong was cheated of 40,000 guan by Wang Yu, and 10,000 guan belonged to him.

In an instant, Li Nian's motive for committing the crime became clear.

But who killed him?

Someone is staring at Wang Yu.

Someone is watching the Shen family.

No one expected it to be Zhao Xu.

Money and food were continuously transported to the river embankment, and also to the north.

The Northern Expedition cannot be short of food. Anyone who dares to let the Northern Expedition run short of food will be killed by the officials when they turn around.

This is the consensus of everyone.

Zhao Xu now only eats two meals a day, as do Empress Dowager Cao and Gao Taotao in the palace.

"This pastry is delicious."

Gao Taotao only eats two meals, but there will be no shortage of pastries.

This is the noble version of dieting.

But Zhao Xu only ate two meals.

Young people will feel uncomfortable if they don't eat lunch, their stomachs will growl, and some people will feel dizzy.

Zhao Xu felt a little dizzy.

Bao Zheng's voice was very loud.

"...It was discovered that three river embankments were in danger, and I impeached the officials who previously inspected the river embankments... If such people are not severely punished, the people will not be angry!"

Zhao Xu nodded, feeling dizzy.

That empty feeling in my stomach was so uncomfortable.

Bao Zheng looked up, his angry look a bit scary, "If we don't discover it in time, once a flood breaks out, Hebei Road will be in danger!"

"Let people go!" Zhao Xu said listlessly: "Go and check the river embankment again, make sure nothing is missed."

Wen Yanbo coughed dryly.

"Your Majesty, the food and grass from the north..."

He glanced at Han Jiang and said, "The Third Secretary said that money and food are a little tight."

Han Jiang didn't expect that one of her complaints would be taken advantage of by Wen Yanbo. He said with an ugly face: "The Third Division can still support it, and we have no worries about money and food."

Wen Yanbo smiled and said: "This will make me feel relieved."

He returned to class very gracefully, but it was just a gesture.

Zhao Xu didn't like this gesture, so he sent people away later.

Wen Yanbo and Sima Guang walked together and whispered about this matter.

“Many times, just saying something is enough, and when things come out, it’s foresight.”

This kind of method can be said to be the key to being an official. Sima Guang used to love competition, and he would have to argue before giving up when he saw something he was not satisfied with.

"Thank you." Wen Yanbo would not mentor someone for no reason. The only possibility was that he felt that Sima Guang was his successor.

The two of them smiled at each other, unyielding.

Wen Yanbo said: "That's true, but we still have to care about the river embankment. Otherwise, once Hebei Road becomes Zeguo, even if the Northern Expedition wins, it will not be able to suppress this matter. It will be like a dark cloud..."

Sima Guang nodded, looking a little blank.

"Long live!"

As soon as the two of them reached the Privy Council section, they heard cheers.

"What?"

Wen Yanbo listened intently.

"Long live!"

There was even louder cheering.

The sergeant guarding the door in front had forgotten the military rules and rushed out to check.

But this is the south of the imperial city, and the shouts come from the opposite direction.

"Long live!"

The cheers kept coming.

The palace was alarmed.

Queen Mother Cao broke a thread, stood up and asked, "Where is it? Go and ask."

Ren Shouzhong's buttocks were swollen from being beaten, and he was lying down at the moment, but there were many people willing to run errands.

The sound was closer, but then it went to the right.

The cheers continued.

"Great victory!"

Concrete news finally came.

A sergeant guarding the imperial city saw Lu Bu.

"Go and tell the king that it was Lu Bu who reported the victory!"

But there is no need for them to report.

"Great victory! Great victory in the Northern Expedition!"

Zhao Xu was thinking about making cakes to eat when he heard the shout and jumped up. Then he felt that he was not reserved enough, so he coughed dryly and said, "Go and have a look."

He asked people to take a look, but he walked out quickly.

After leaving Qingning Palace, next to it is the Imperial City Department.

The people from the Imperial City Department had already come out, and when they saw Zhao Xu, they all saluted.

Zhang Bianba came over in a hurry, "Your Majesty, I said it was Lu Bu who announced victory!"

Zhao Xu clenched his fists, "Okay!"

Under normal circumstances, unless there is a great victory, the method of revealing the cloth will not be adopted. In other words, only when the Northern Expedition has achieved a major victory, it is possible to adopt the method of reporting the victory by revealing the cloth.

"Let's go out and take a look." Zhao Xu walked out impatiently, and Zhang Ba Ba followed quietly.

The two of them walked out of the palace and saw officials in front of them.

Everyone from the Privy Council came out, and everyone from the Political Hall also came out.

Bao Zheng was blocked behind, and someone shouted: "Make way for Mr. Bao!"

The place was too noisy and no one paid attention.

The cheers gradually approached, and it suddenly became quiet outside.

"The king is coming, get out of the way!"

This worked, and a path immediately opened in front of him.

Zhao Xu took the lead and walked forward. Bao Zheng grabbed him and followed closely behind, but Zhang Baizhan squeezed him.

That’s it!

Bao Zheng resisted the urge to pull away the wat board and told himself not to be anxious, not to be anxious...

Later, Zhao Xu came to Xuande Gate.

A group of cavalry had dismounted and were waiting.

There were countless people outside, and it was so dark that no head could be seen.

Seeing Zhao Xu coming out, the sergeants did not salute. The sergeant carrying the bamboo pole laid out the cloth with pride.

"Great victory!"

"... The rich prime minister led an army of 20,000 people and pretended to be suspicious at the city gate. Shen Longtu led an army of 100,000 people. They fought with 70,000 people against 80,000 people. After half a day of fighting, they made a general attack. Then they set out an ambush and defeated the Liao army in one fell swoop... captured more than 27,000 people and captured There were more than 36,000 enemy troops. Only the Northern Privy Councilor Xiao Yanxiong and less than 10,000 people fled..."

After a period of silence, Zhao Xu said lightly: "What a great victory."

Everyone couldn't help but secretly praise: Your Majesty is so magnanimous!

Then everyone saw Zhao Xu's madness.

He waved his fist vigorously and shouted: "The Song Dynasty regains the land of Youyan! Won victory!"

The long silent street suddenly boiled like an explosion of magma.

"Wan Sheng!"

Countless arms were raised high, and cheers burst into the sky above Bianliang.

Zhao Xu's face turned red with excitement. At this moment, all the evildoers and princes in charge of the country were forgotten. He only thought about the future of the Song Dynasty.

With the land of Youyan in hand, the Song Dynasty rebuilt its offensive and defensive posture.

From then on, the Song Dynasty attacked whenever it wanted and defended whenever it wanted. This was a calm attitude that had never been seen in the Central Plains since the end of the Tang Dynasty.

This is the central country.

What made him even more excited was that Shen An actually defeated the Liao army's reinforcements.

Before departure, Shen An had a long conversation with him. When talking about the Northern Expedition, UU read www.uukanshu. net Shen An didn't care about Fan Yang and Youzhou at all. He had been staring at the Liao army's reinforcements.

He believed that as long as the Liao reinforcements were defeated, the Northern Expedition would be considered a complete success.

This step at this moment verified his idea.

I remember what Shen An said longingly at that time: "Recovering the land of Youyan will be followed by great development. The Song Dynasty will build new policies internally, attack the north externally, and have to look at overseas... In this era, passion is burning!"

yes! Passion burns.

He was a little confused by what he said at the time, but seeing the ecstatic expressions of the officials and people, he understood.

This era of burning passion!

He turned around slowly and saw Bao Zheng, who was in tears.

The old man cried uncontrollably, and beside him, the officials' faces flushed with excitement, or they beat their chests and feet to vent the ecstasy in their hearts.

There were actually tears in Zhang Baibian's eyes, which made Zhao Xu think he was dazzled.

He murmured: "The national destiny of the Song Dynasty has been won back!"

Countless cheers were like thunder, shaking Bianliang City.

Zhao Xu saw an old official kneeling slowly on the left, with his hands raised and tears streaming down his face.

The destiny of the country is my destiny!

Countless people have deeply experienced this moment.

"The saint and the empress came out."

Empress Dowager Cao and Gao Taotao ignored the rules and came out of the harem.

But who cares about bullshit rules at this time.

Everyone was cheering for the glorious moment of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Xu stood on tiptoe and saw two women outside the palace gate.

They are crying.

Zhao Xu was convinced that it was a cry of happiness.

The happiness of the six years of Zhiping came to Bianliang and the Song Dynasty.

…

Thanks to the leader of ‘Perverse and Upgraded’ for the reward. I originally planned to update it in the next book, but after thinking about it I decided to add it. Guys, stop coming!

Good night.
