Dajin picked up a god of war

However, opportunity is something that is lost if it is lost. If Wang Mi hadn't been born in the present Dajin, even Diqin, which is entrenched in the north, would still collapse, and they would still be unable to take those cities into their hands.

no hope.

impossible!

First of all, the army has no morale, and the quality of the generals is also limited. What's more, without Wang Mi, there would be no such advanced firearms, let alone a team with such high morale.

It can be said that based on the situation at the time, whoever handed over the Beifu soldiers would have the same result, and they could not compete with the northern elite soldiers at all.

Maybe they can get away with capturing a few cities, but even if they reach the current level of territory, they won't be able to.

impossible.

It simply can't be reached.

And what about now?
A strong backing for Wang Mi's daring to advance to the Central Plains is that he has captured many important towns north of the Huaihe River.

With these enemies as strongholds, the strength of the Jin army has greatly increased, and the logistical supply problem that was very troublesome in the past has also been solved.

Therefore, you can see that the Beifu army led by Wang Mi has a huge team, but its luggage is relatively light, and it is even reduced by about one-third than before!

It is because he can already get supplies in many northern towns, so he is no longer in a hurry in terms of luggage.

With these prerequisites, the current Jin army dared to boldly launch the Northern Expedition. The same thing would have been unthinkable a year ago, and it was impossible to succeed.

"However, even if we don't make trouble, those people may not give up. I think Sima Shangzhi and the others have already taken action." Now that they have changed their positions, the information they can provide is also different.

Compared with a minister like Xi Hui who can walk around at will, Wang Gong's news is still not so well-informed.

Hearing that Yu Kai and the others had taken action, Wang Gong's face suddenly became a little serious.

This is really, a little difficult.

Wang Gong can control himself, and he can also suppress these people in the Jiankang court. Don't act rashly, he still has this deterrent power.

However, the behavior of those generals guarding the place is beyond his control.

Since they are now in the name of rescuing Wang Gong, as long as Wang Gong is still living in seclusion in the Taiyuan palace for a day, they can keep looking for topics.

Maybe, an alliance was formed in the end to rescue Wang Aning!
At that time, it will be difficult to gather troops and horses and command Jiankang.

"no!"

"If this continues, Jiankang will be in chaos!"

"Aqi, you go to the palace and tell the empress dowager clearly what I mean. This matter must be resolved now, without delay!"

Xi Hui looked puzzled.

Just now he seemed to have nothing to worry about, but now he suddenly became nervous again, which song is this singing?
"What's the matter?"

"Do you still need me to enter the palace in person?"

Wang Gong waved his hand: "Come here with your ears, I will tell you to listen."

Wang Gong whispered a few words into Xi Hui's ear, the voice was so small that even the servant standing behind him couldn't hear clearly.

The young man was somewhat disappointed. Couldn't the Wang family's young man go to the palace to report this kind of thing?

It's really not possible, there are so many Beifu soldiers guarding it!
Why bother General Xi?
"So serious?" After hearing what he said, Xi Hui's face changed as expected.

Wang Gong nodded solemnly: "So, I must entrust you to handle this matter. The empress dowager knows best about your relationship with me, and she will trust you."

"If she doesn't believe it, let the Song Qingyin next to her, Dr. Song, call over and let her handle this matter."

Dr. Song has already had a serious official position, and is a housekeeper personally appointed by the empress dowager, but Wang Gong still prefers to call her a doctor.

Speaking of which, since Dr. Song was Wang Zhenying's good friend in the early years, it is impossible that he and Wang Gong have never met before.

The fact is also the same, why did Wang Gong choose her to be the messenger?
It is also because he is familiar with Song Qingyin and knows that she is a person with a brain who can analyze things well.

He is also a female official of the inner court, who can enter and leave the court at will, and can openly convey his words to Wang Zhenying.

Most importantly, as an inner court female official, her whereabouts are not too conspicuous, and there are not so many people staring at her.

Just a good person to deliver a message.

This is just one, and the second is Song Qingyin's own position. For other ministers, you can worry that he has his own little brother and will not wholeheartedly support Wang Zhenying, but Song Qingyin is not.

She is a female official, so the gender factor is there. She will definitely be more inclined to Wang Zhenying. In addition, the two were also good friends before. Song Qingyin can come out of the study and really participate in the court. , all thanks to Wang Zhenying's excavation.

If it weren't for the special situation in the Jin Dynasty, the queen mother is required to take charge of the government, and the queen mother can't fight alone. She always needs a capable helper by her side, and Song Qingyin would not get such an opportunity.

Now, Song Qingyin's ability to walk from the study to the front desk is definitely something exciting for her.

But this time, after Wang Gong counted, he felt that Song Qingyin would definitely leave the palace to meet him.

What a great opportunity to participate in government affairs!

Who can give up?

Song Qingyin, of course, is no exception.

Speaking of which, I haven't seen her for many years, and I don't know what this cold-tempered little girl has become now.

Gossip less, just enter the palace as soon as possible to be true.

Although Xi Hui is cursing and has a bad temper, as long as it is a task assigned by Wang Gong, he is still very caring.

Even if there is still confusion, even if there is still resentment, but when it is time to do things, it is not ambiguous at all.

Coming out of the palace, jumping into the carriage, Xi Hui went straight to the palace.

And at this time, what is the empress dowager in Jiankang Palace doing?

"Last year and this year, Kuaiji County was hit by floods, and countless houses were lost. I ask the imperial court to exempt the county from rent."

Kuaiji County was flooded, which happened last summer. In the spring of this year, the governor of Kuaiji County wrote a letter asking the imperial court to exempt the county from rent and tax.

Obviously, this is not enough to take advantage of.

"Your Majesty, I remember that the tax was already exempted in the second half of last year. Why is it coming again this year?"

Although Song Qingyin was not in charge of the affairs of the court last year, since she took over these things, she has not been idle for a moment. She has read all the affairs of the court within the past three years.

There is no need to doubt her memory, she will not remember this kind of thing wrong.

Wang Zhenying sighed for a long time: "You're right, it's true that you didn't collect it last year, but let's let it go now, and he's allowed."

"However, the support of the imperial court is also needed on the battlefield of the Northern Expedition, and the tax of Kuaiji County is still very important." Song Qingyin said truthfully.

Although the current Beifu soldiers are very powerful and set off with a large number of luggage, but once the battle is delayed and the progress is not so fast, they will have to need the help of the court.

Not to mention the transportation of food and grass, at least some money is required. As an inland county, Kuaiji County is also a rare one. It has not been affected by the war, and the economic situation in the territory is very good. .

It was the wealth center of the Jin court. As a result, now is the time when the court needs money, and the governor of Kuaiji actually said that he has no money.

Not only did they have no money, but they also claimed that the court would reduce or exempt taxes, which basically stopped the court's idea of ​​collecting money from the source.

How can there be such a person?

He would not be ignorant of the current situation of the Jin court.

"This is a matter of Wang Zhiyuan's own family, and it is inconvenient for me to participate. Since he has already asked the court, he will be allowed."

"Even if King Langya knows, he won't say anything, don't worry."

rest assured?

Easy to say!

Can you rest assured?
The empress dowager's heart is too big!

Song Qingyin looked worried, and Wang Zhenying could only smile bleakly.

This woman is still straightforward and doesn't understand the world.

Why didn't she know how to make an association, so who is in control of Kuaiji County now?
It seems to be a person named Wang Ningzhi!
Who is Wang Ningzhi?

Those are Wang Mi's younger brothers. They are also from the Langya Wang clan. Although they are not particularly close, one of them has been guarding the traditional territory of the Langya Wang clan in Kuaiji County for a long time, and the other is rooted in Jiankang City, and their friendship is not deep.

But, after all, they are still a family, not to mention that Wang Ningzhi has always been nagging, and Wang Zhenying has heard of it for a long time.

Since they are all relatives, Wang Mi should not punish Wang Ningzhi for not paying taxes. Furthermore, Wang Ningzhi's wife Xie Daoyun is also the aunt of Wang Mi's wife Xie Minghui, so this relationship is too deep.

Even if they couldn't pay, Wang Mi wouldn't say anything when he knew that the problem was in Kuaiji County.

In this regard, the empress dowager is very confident.

However, soon, something that made her completely confused appeared out of thin air, and her dream of staying in the harem and living a leisurely life was broken.

Xiao De'er came to report in a hurry, and when she saw him, Wang Zhenying knew that trouble was coming again.

"Empress Dowager, Xi Hui, General Xi asked to see him, he said he has something important to report."

"Why is he here?" Wang Zhenying rolled her eyes and immediately thought of someone.

"Come in quickly."

Immediately, he exchanged glances with Song Qingyin, and understood that this must have been ordered by Wang Gong.

It's not even close to the time, Wang Zhenying is still thinking these days, her respectable and lovely elder brother, shouldn't just get depressed, and really just hide in the mansion and not come out?

Don't ask about world affairs, will you delve into the sea of ​​books from now on?

impossible!
It would be too much of a loss to do so, and after finally breaking through once, without receiving any punishment, isn't this a good opportunity to go down the slope?
How can I let it go?

Qingyin also said just now that he didn't do anything in the house, and he didn't have any abnormal behavior. Sure enough, the news was wrong.

How could she know all kinds of things that happened in Taiyuan Palace so clearly? Thinking about it now, those Beifu soldiers who are in charge of delivering letters every day probably didn't keep an eye on them so closely.

In any case, Xi Hui's arrival was always a big event, and Wang Zhenying rearranged her tiara before waving her in.

Xi Hui and Wang Gong have been in contact all the time, which was acquiesced by Wang Zhenying. Of course, Wang Mi was not ignorant of it, and the two of them had a tacit understanding about this matter.

Wang Gong is a living person, and he used to be a high-ranking, powerful person with a very high spirit. If he is allowed to be imprisoned in the palace in such a miserable state, wouldn't it be too unnatural?
After all, he is also his own elder brother, he should take care of it, he still has to take care of it, with Xi Hui here, he can always relieve Wang Gong from boredom.

Find support.

You see, isn't it coming in handy now?

Xi Hui relieved his boredom, and immediately saw Wang Zhenying with a serious face, quickly suppressed his emotions, and saluted respectfully.

Although his heart is full of complaints, he can only press the button now. Xi Hui has thought a lot along the way.

Wang Gong's meaning was actually very clear, that is to let him deliver the news, but later he added a few points, which made Xi Hui have to suspect that the latter points were the real focus.

So, before he could speak, he changed his strategy.

Wang Zhenying exchanged a few pleasantries as usual, but of course there was no real emotion, and she was waiting for Xi Hui's answer.

This is the key.

Xi Hui straightened his back, stared into Wang Zhenying's eyes, and said solemnly: "Empress Dowager, Ah Ning wants to let Neishe come to the palace. He has some important matters to discuss."

"Qingyin?" Wang Zhenying looked at Xi Hui in surprise: "General Xi, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. Why do you need Qingyin to come?"

"What's the difference between what she said and what you said?"

Xi Hui was very insistent: "Ah Ning said that Nei Sheren was a child he watched and grew up with, and he was quite familiar with them. It's accurate, so I still hope that Nei Sheren will make a trip."

"Empress Dowager, I just need to go, I don't need to worry."

"Since Zaifu said to let me go, there must be his reason. General Xi will change clothes later, and you and I will leave the palace together."

Song Qingyin was so straightforward, Wang Zhenying's worries were naturally dispelled, although she was still bitter about Xi Hui's refusal to explain his life and death.

What is this for?
What can't be said clearly?
This back and forth, of course, will waste a lot of time, and Wang Zhenying is not in a hurry, but she has a premonition that, in fact, Xi Hui is well aware of this so-called important matter.

He knew it clearly, but he just refused to make it clear in advance. This was what made her anxious.

Regardless of Qingyin's going or not, can't you give me a happy word first?

While Qingyin was going to change clothes, Wang Zhenying tried again, Xi Hui's neck twitched, and she said righteously: "Empress Dowager, this matter is of great importance, the old minister can't speak clearly, and his mind is not clear, if I say it, I'm afraid it will confuse the empress."

"Don't disturb me, my lady. In a short time, the inner house will send back the news."

Wang Zhenying was so angry that he rolled her eyes. What kind of person is this? It's really hard to understand.

Xi Hui, however, was very firm. He didn't say anything, he just didn't say anything.

People have their own reasons too!

It's not that I didn't tell you on purpose, it's because I'm not capable enough, the more I speak, the more chaotic, the more confused I become, and when the time comes, it will make you misunderstand what Aning meant, so what should I do?
