Chapter 521 Shu Shuai

The sixth day of March.

Zhao Yun got up from the imperial couch, only to feel the girlish fragrance of Ji Xixi lingering on the tip of his nose.

Now that the freshness has not passed, he is quite nostalgic, but he has no choice but to go to the front hall to discuss matters.

How wonderful it would be if there were no wars.

Lowering his head again, he saw that Ji Xixi's face was a bit haggard, so he couldn't help asking a few more questions, and Ji Xixi only said that he was tired.

But Zhao Yun was worried, and when he left, another court lady was asked to question him.

The maid did not dare to deceive the emperor, so she lowered her head and answered honestly: "Young lady felt unwell two days ago, yesterday Yan Guifei asked the imperial doctor to see it, and said it was..."

"If I ask you, I will answer boldly."

It was rare for Zhao Yun not to put on airs, and leaned forward a little, listening to her voice as thin as a mosquito.

Then, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

"Is it Ximai?"

"The imperial doctor didn't dare to make a statement. He only said that it might be possible. We need to wait a few days before taking the pulse. The girl is afraid that the officials will be disappointed, so she dare not..."

"I won't be disappointed, hahaha, I won't." Zhao Yun was overjoyed, clapped his palms and said with a smile: "Sure enough, there is a king coming out of the phoenix, a sign of good luck, a sign of good luck!"

……

On this day, when Zhao Yun arrived at Xuande Hall, more than twenty important ministers who participated in the Xiaochaohui today had been waiting for a long time.

He sat down on the imperial couch without haste, and pointed to the two restless courtiers, setting an example to show that even when the soldiers are in danger and the battle is fierce, he must remain calm and calmly respond to the enemy.

This internal quotation has returned to its proper manner.

Ding Daquan went out first and said, "Your Majesty, the Ezhou battle report has arrived."

Zhao Yun had heard what Dong Songchen said on the way, and he knew it well.

"read."

"Zhang Sheng, the governor of Ezhou, used the strategy of slowing down the troops and pretended to be a vassal. He took the opportunity to burn down the houses outside the city, fortified the walls and cleared the fields, and held back the Mongolian army's offensive. He defended the city for three days. The Xiangyang regiment trained the envoy Gao Da to lead the army to help..."

Zhao Yun raised his hand to stop, and asked: "The imperial court hasn't summoned yet, why did Gao Da arrive first?"

"Or find out that the Mongolian army has entered the Huai River, and the battle is imminent, so take the initiative to send aid."

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Continue."

"Yes, Gundam arrived in Ezhou and saw the strength of the Mongolian army, so he set up an ambush and pretended to retreat. The Mongolian army chased after him, and Gundam attacked the Mongolian centurion Gong Yanhui.

Zhao Yun asked again: "Can you hold a stalemate with the Mongolian army?"

"Please don't worry, Your Majesty."

"Okay! All the Aiqings have heard that Zhang Sheng and Gao Gao are brave and resourceful, and the generals of the Song Dynasty are like this. Why are you afraid of mere barbarians?! Pass the decree and reward..."

In any case, Ezhou finally slightly blocked Kublai Khan's overwhelming offensive.

Zhao Yun also stabilized Chao Gang, he waved away the others, leaving only Ding Daquan, and gave him a seat.

Ding Daquan just sat down, when he saw the officials hooked their hands, he hurried over again.

Zhao Yun didn't want to fight crickets with him, so he spoke in a very low voice.

"The envoy has gone?"

Ding Daquan quickly kowtowed and said yes.

Zhao Yun squinted at him.

Ding Daquan then said: "This matter, I have made my own decision and committed a serious crime of deceiving the emperor. Please punish me severely by Your Majesty."

Only then did Zhao Yun wave his hand, his expression became a little gloomy.

I think back when I came to the throne, I was so strong that I sent troops to Sanjing to regain my homeland.He, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, fought fiercely and fiercely, so steadfast... Until now, the situation is overwhelming.

Thinking about this, the little comfort he got at Ji Xixi's place was also reduced a lot, Zhao Yun raised his head and drank a glass of dull wine, while listening to Ding Daquan's report on the government.

It is said that the Privy Council has dealt with it and thinks that it should be reported to the emperor.

Zhao Yun didn't want to hold a grand court meeting, and liked to invite people to play things; he didn't like to use loyal and upright ministers, and he preferred to use lucky villains, and there were reasons for this.

Talking with Ding Daquan like this is neither rigid nor tiring.Tasting wine, eating snacks, as long as he nods from time to time, because Ding Daquan's handling is often in line with his wishes.

……

"Your Majesty, I have one more thing to do. Since Lu Wende has transferred to Ezhou, the candidate for the Sichuan pacification system..."

Zhao Yun chuckled lightly upon hearing this.

He knew what Ding Daquan was thinking.

It was nothing more than fear that Li Xia would take refuge in Jia Sidao and wanted to win favors.

Up to now, this is the first thing that doesn't suit Zhao Yun's wishes. He doesn't like Li Xia.

Ding Daquan heard the chuckle from the imperial couch, and knew that he should shut up and talk about something else.

However, he still bite the bullet and speak.

"Your Majesty, beheading the Mongolian Chieftain is a great achievement for the courtiers. But in the end, it is His Majesty who employs people well, and His Majesty is the first achievement."

He still spoke nicely, and his tone became generous.

"Since the Taizu Emperor, the successive emperors, Your Majesty's literary and martial arts are extremely prosperous!"

Zhao Yun nodded, agreeing with this statement.

Ding Daquan had come out, and he cupped his hands and said, "I believe that Li Xia must be rewarded heavily. It's not selfish. It's really to honor His Majesty's reputation! Back then, Li Xia was arrested and imprisoned. The heart is clear. The emperor bestowed the word, so he ordered Li Feiyu to kill the enemy chiefs to repay the king's deep kindness. Your Majesty's heroic name will last forever, and the history is beautiful. How can you not reward him?"

Zhao Yun heard it was very useful, but he was unmoved.

"I naturally know what Qing said. However, Li Xia has been an official to appease him all the way, and if he moves one step further, he will be on Ren Shuai's side. How old is he? If I don't want him to be Shu Shuai, I really can't."

Ding Daquan persuaded: "Your Majesty, Li Xia is indeed capable. When this soldier is in danger..."

"Youth are proud, and you are proud of your talents."

Zhao Yun suddenly scolded, and said again: "The reward is too much, and there is no way to seal it in the future. Are you going to control him? Can you control him?!"

Ding Daquan was startled and shivered.

Zhao Yun had already put the wine glass in his hand on the table, his face turned serious.

"Xiu Dangzhen didn't know that Zhang Jue impeached Li Xia for being greedy for military pay and ostracizing his colleagues. You hid the memorial. Ding Daquan, you are so brave!"

Hearing this sentence, Ding Daquan was so frightened that he fell to his knees.

"I'm guilty! I just... just haven't seen any evidence, I want to investigate first... I have no intention of covering Li Xia."

Zhao Yun stood up suddenly.

He wants to let Ding Daquan know that although he, the emperor, doesn't care about government affairs, he can't be deceived.

Everything can't be hidden from his eyes.

"Murder and take away Li Feiyu, he is a knife and I am a fish."

Zhao Yun sneered and walked up to Ding Daquan.

"Is this how Li Xia repays the words I gave him?"

"Chen... I really don't know about this..."

"You don't know? Jia Baoyu's family was ruined, and Xue Baochai is still crying beside that bully. How many people are there who have suffered so much? They are all my people."

Zhao Yun raised his finger and continued to shout angrily: "Is this how Li Feiyu treats my people?!"

"The minister overlooked...the minister is guilty..."

"If I didn't see him making great contributions, I would dismiss him as an official! You still want to promote him? What's the benefit of accepting him? Tell me!"

Ding Daquan was astonished, and hurriedly said: "The minister is guilty. From the confiscated spoils... Li Xia took a... Wang Youjun's writing..."

"Ha, which pair?"

""Qiong Bamboo Stick Tie"."

Zhao Yun froze for a moment, but his anger was interrupted.

He seemed to feel angry and laughed at the same time, and finally couldn't help cursing.

"fool."

"I'm stupid."

Zhao Yun kicked Ding Daquan on the shoulder, and cursed: "You are blind without learning or skill."

As the Son of Heaven, he would not treat other courtiers like this. Only Ning Xing has this honor and can be kicked by the imperial boots.

Ding Daquan seemed to be very honored to be kicked, and said: "I have no eyes, so I misjudged Li Xia."

"Fake." Zhao Yun sneered, "The "Qiong Bamboo Stick Post" is in the hands of Jia Sidao."

Ding Daquan was taken aback, and that Qing's face was full of embarrassment, and he hurriedly said: "I am so stupid, I can't even distinguish between calligraphy and painting, Li Xia..."

"Enough, I don't have time to listen to you talking about these meaningless things!"

~~
Zhang Jue's impeachment and Li Xia's notoriety of bullying men and women actually made Zhao Yun less afraid of Li Xia.

Of course, Li Xia has no prestige after all, and he is not as strong as Lu Wende, so there is not much fear of this.

However, Zhao Yun still did not want Li Xia to be Shushuai.

This is not a problem that can be solved with less fear.

The way of employing people must be considered in the long run.

Li Xia is too young and too inexperienced.Now that the rewards are too much, how can we continue to use Li Xia when the new king succeeds?

This is the root cause, and it cannot be solved by being less jealous...

~~
In the evening of that day, in order to express his appreciation to Concubine Yan Gui for sending the imperial doctor to see Ji Xixi, Zhao Yun was busy with government affairs and got up to drive to Shouli Hall again.

"Ha, there is an interesting story today. People say that Ding Daquan is greedy, but he can't even tell the authenticity of calligraphy and paintings..."

Zhao Yun was rarely in a good mood, so he picked up this interesting story and told it.

Yan Rong smiled and asked about the cause and effect.

As they talked, they finally talked about Li Xia's robbery of women, murder and wives.

"Such a villain, because of his merits, I have endured and not severely punished, but he still vainly tries to get Shu Shuai?"

Yan Rong chuckled lightly.

"The news from Chuanshu reached Lin'an so quickly. How long has it been since the whole city knew that Li Feiyu had regained Hanzhong?"

Zhao Yun narrowed his eyes, thoughtful.

"Oh, it's a pity that the queen doesn't live up to my expectations." Yan Rongyou said leisurely again: "Some people really can't afford to offend... I'm afraid that when he succeeds to the throne, the political opponents will already have some power?"

……

With just this sentence, Zhao Yun buried a thorn in his heart.

He knew that Concubine Yan Gui had met Li Xia once and gave him a piece of jade.

This is what he acquiesced to.

Because of the rift between Li Xia and King Zhong, if there is a real prince, he must be the real prince.

Everyone in the court is pushing out Li Xia and helping King Zhong to slander Li Xia.

It seems that everyone has forgotten that the emperor may still have a son...

But Zhao Yun will let all the courtiers know that they are wrong!
When the phoenix appears, the king emerges.

Ji Xixi is pregnant.

Zhao Yun thought that he was over fifty and had a child... Even if he was about to have a bloodline, there was not much time to make arrangements.

Only this thing can drive him.

It was rare for him to be diligent in his administration, and he got up and drove to the front hall overnight.

"Dong Songchen."

"The servant is here."

"Draft the decree...Wu Qian moved to the Privy Council and urged him to return the court immediately."

The official said a simple sentence, but Dong Songchen had to write a lot of words, writing down Wu Qian's life's credit.

"To draw up an edict, Lu Wende moved to Beijing and set up an envoy."

Dong Songchen was very busy writing about Lu Wende's long list of official positions.

The pen does not stop...

Zhao Yun thought about it, and made up his mind to speak again.

"Re-draft the decree, Li Xia moved to Sichuan to set up an envoy, and Zhang Jue moved to Sichuan to set up a deputy envoy."

Dong Songchen shook his hand.

Even if he participated in all these plans, he couldn't believe it at this time.

Li Xia, a young man who is less than 20 years old, has really become an important minister in only three years, and has full power to guard the entire Bashu?
...Shu Shuai!
