Chapter 733 Heroes
After the New Year's Eve, it is the Year of Renxu, the Year of the Dog.This year is the third year of Xianding in the Great Song Dynasty and the third year in the Mongolian Central Unification.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Wang Xiao finally came to Hantai again and saw Li Xia again.

He originally thought that Li Xia would detain him in Hanzhong for a long time, but he didn't expect that Li Xia would still be willing to see him before the Lantern Festival, and he was a little grateful.

As a glib person, Wang Xiaoyuan prepared a lot of rhetoric.Unfortunately, in the past month, I have talked too much with Zhang Hongdao, and even he feels tired.

Seeing Li Xia goodbye at this time, and saluting, Wang Xiao was rarely silent.

Li Xia spoke first, and said, "You were not sent by Li Fen, so what is your purpose?"

Wang Luo was startled, but when he looked up again, he was stunned.

Li Xia glanced at him and said, "Since I have obtained the evidence, do you dare to deny it? Let it go on."

"King Li Jun, of course I was sent by King Qi, what do you mean, you are afraid of Kublai Khan?"

Zhang Hongdao watched Wang Luo being dragged down, and asked, "Has the reply from Shandong arrived? Is Wang Luo really deceitful?"

"No, the reply was too slow." Li Xia said, "I just have time today, so I'll trick him."

"Wang Xiao is very thick-skinned, I'm afraid he won't confess easily..."

Before the words were finished, Wang Xiao, who had been dragged off the Han Terrace, was already shouting loudly.

"Prince Li Jun, please forgive me, I'm recruiting, I'm recruiting!"

This is why Li Xia asked Zhang Hongdao to deal with Wang Xiao. It would take a lot of work to deal with a cunning and slippery person.

After a while, Wang Xiao was dragged up again, but he was recruited very quickly.

"Please spare me, King Li Jun. It is true that King Qi did not send me here, I made my own decision..."

Li Xia interrupted: "Are you making your own decisions, rather than being instructed by others?"

"In fact, my brother-in-law and I have a deep relationship. I often do things independently without his orders, and I am never ordered by others." Wang Luo said: "This time, my brother-in-law raised the flag to point directly at Yanjing, but I think Shi Tianze is unreliable, so Taking the initiative without authorization, and wanting to ally with King Li to restrain the Mongolian army, and also make Shi Tianze dare not take the opportunity to attack Shandong."

"You see that Shi Tianze is unreliable?"

"Yes. It's a pity that my brother-in-law has no doubts in Shi Tianze. I tried to persuade him many times to no avail, so I had no choice but to make a bad plan."

Wang Luo responded quickly, without too much embarrassment.

But Li Xia asked again: "Is it possible that Kublai Khan asked you to come to deceive me? Or deceived me to cross the Yellow River to attack Shanxi, and he attacked my boat from the upper reaches, cutting off my retreat? Or deceived me to go out of Tongguan, and he came from The Yellow River will attack Tongguan and block my way back?"

Wang Luo stared at Li Xia blankly for a while, then suddenly smiled and shook his head.

"I thought that King Li Jun is a hero of the time, so he is so afraid of Kublai Khan? Kublai Khan is still in Hara and Lin, how can he scare Li Jun Wang so much that he dare not take a step out of the pass?"

"Is it really in Hara Helin?" Li Xia said: "In November of the first year of Xianning, the First World War in Ximu Tunaoer ended, and Kublai Khan took a short rest before marching north. Today is the first month of the third year of Xianning. Counting the time, It is enough for Kublai Khan to go back and forth."

Wang Xiao shook his head, with a mocking expression on his face.

"I think Kublai Khan thinks too highly of him. Is it true that he can defeat Brother Alibu as soon as he arrives in Harahelin? The Mongolian kings all support Brother Alibu."

Li Xia observed Wang Xiao for a while.

Wang Xiao smiled for a long time, met Li Xia's gaze calmly, cupped his hands and said, "Everything I do is to restore the Han family's rivers and mountains. King Li Jun can trust me."

Zhang Hongdao whispered to Li Xia: "This son never changes his face when he tells lies, and he swore to me yesterday that Li Fen sent him here."

Li Xia nodded and said, "Well, go back and tell Li Fen that you don't need to rush to make trouble."

Wang Luo said, "If the king of Qi has raised an issue, would the king of Li Jun be willing to respond?"

"If Shi Tianze can attack Yanjing together with him, I will try my best to send troops to Shanxi; and if Shi Tianze can't be trusted, maybe we can attack Shi Tianze together...let's make contact at that time."

"Okay!" Wang Luo cupped his hands again, and said, "Please write a letter from King Li Jun, I will bring it back to King Qi, and I will reply after discussing the strategy..."

~~
Two days later, Wang Xiao, who had been stranded in Hanzhong for the entire New Year's Eve, was finally allowed to leave.

He seemed to be going to Shandong, but after leaving Shu Road and exiting Tongguan, he crossed the Yellow River and headed for Shanxi.

I was detained for too long, and it was too late to go to Shandong again.

Wang Luo first went to Xiezhou and met Yi Shu'an.

"Li Xia is very vigilant and has not been fooled, but there is still a chance..."

After a private conversation, Wang Luo immediately left Jiezhou and rushed to Yanjing.

~~
In this first month, in various parts of Shandong to the east and south of Yidu, Li Fen officially declared himself king.

Because Li Fen never forgot his father Li Quan's will.

"The monarchs and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty are ignorant and cannot be relied on, nor can the fierce and barbarians of Mongolia. My father and son were lucky enough to live in Shandong and Huainan in the troubled times. There are hundreds of thousands of people. If we manage carefully, wait for the opportunity to make progress, and compete in the Central Plains, it is unknown who will belong to the world. also!"

Since he inherited this will, he has been planning painstakingly for more than thirty years.

He had two wives. In addition to Wang Wentong's daughter, he also married the sister of Eastern Mongolian Zongwang Tacha'er.

Not only did he marry the Mongolian Golden Family, but he also continued to expand his territory and consolidate his rule, established the official system in Shandong, restored the Confucian Temple, and recruited Confucian scholars and scholars to work under the curtain.

He bought horses everywhere, raised a large amount of military rations, and trained an army of one hundred thousand.

Finally, he waited for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Brother Meng died, and Kublai Khan and Brother Alibu fought...

Li Fen has spread his message to the princes from all walks of life, inviting them to respond with troops according to the previous agreement, so as to create momentum.

He scattered all the treasures in the treasury to reward the soldiers, and prepared to send troops to Jinan.

At the same time, he ordered to kill all the Mongolian garrison troops in the territory.

"Fire the cannon! Sacrifice the flag!"

"cut!"

On the school grounds, the sound of cannons rang out, the sword was cut down, and heads with braided hair rolled down one by one...

~~
Yanjing.

In the meeting hall, Liu Bingzhong and Wang Wentong were sitting opposite each other and talking.

Wang Wentong was over [-] years old at the time, with thin and long eyes, he looked like a cunning old fox.

"Now that I think about it, His Majesty let me be in charge of the Ministry of Education when he saw me at that time. I'm afraid he wanted to transfer me from Shandong."

"It's natural. As soon as you leave, Li Fen will no longer have any decent counselors around him."

This "Yidao" is the word of Wang Wentong. Occasionally, some people joke that the name of Pingzhang Zhengshi in Mongolia is one less "person" than the name of Jia Sidao, the important military affairs of Pingzhang in Song Dynasty, but Wang Wentong has done a much better job. .

But when talking about Li Fen at this time, Wang Wentong let out a long sigh.

Of course he understood that once he left, there would be no one around Li Fen who could make up his mind.

But two years ago, Kublai Khan directly promoted him, a commoner, to be an official of Pingzhang, and he couldn't bear to refuse...

"In the past two years, Yidao has done a lot." Liu Bingzhong said again: "Although we have advocated the restoration of Han law for many years, it has been truly realized in your hands."

Wang Wentong said: "It was Duke Liu and the princes who have presented Confucianism for His Majesty for many years. I just happened to meet at the right time. The house was built, and I just added tiles."

"You can't say that." Liu Bingzhong waved his hands and said, "What you do is all offending people, the old man understands it in his heart."

Wang Wentong smiled, his slender eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a hint of ridicule, but he didn't know who he was mocking.

Liu Bingzhong said again: "Li Fen's rebellion is inevitable, and the relationship between you and him cannot be cleared..."

"I understand, thank you Mr. Liu for interceding for me this time, and for giving me a chance to draw a line with Li Fen."

"It's not for you." Liu Bingzhong said: "It's for the Han Law. Since the Han Law is implemented in your hands, no matter why you entered the Zhongshu Province in the first place, this crime of treason must not be repeated."

Wang Wentong swept his knees with his sleeve, sighed leisurely, and said slowly: "Yes, for Hanfa."

"Go." Liu Bingzhong said: "Go to see His Majesty."

"Liu Gong, leave."

Wang Wentong got up and saluted, expressing his gratitude.

He thanked Liu Bingzhong for his kind words to Kublai Khan and saved his father and son.

But it was also Liu Bingzhong who forced him to give up Li Fen with the survival of the Han Dynasty...

In fact, since two years ago, he has no choice.

He could only hand over all the letters between himself and Li Fen to Kublai Khan, prompting Li Fen to rebel at this time when Kublai Khan had returned to Yanjing, and lured Li Xia to lead his army out of Guanzhong...

~~
After Wang Wentong left, Liu Bingzhong was still sitting in the meeting hall, thinking about his own affairs.

He knew Kublai Khan's thoughts best.

At the beginning, Wang Wentong was reused, and he also suggested to Kublai Khan, because he was indeed transferred from Li Fen's side.

But I didn’t expect that Wang Wentong was really talented. In the past two years, in addition to implementing the Han law and establishing a system at the beginning of the country, he was in charge of the wealth and food in this battle with Brother Ali Buk, and collected money from the Central Plains for a short period of time. And transported a large amount of supplies to the north.

"It's a hero."

Wang Wentong is a hero in the practice of Han law, and also a hero in the battle for the position of Khan.

Liu Bingzhong then hoped that he could be removed from the crime of Li Fen's rebellion, so as to prevent the Mongolian nobles from attacking Han and France with the crime of Wang Wentong.

Therefore, he had persuaded Kublai Khan in private to give Wang Wentong a chance to make a contribution.

It's hard, hard for everyone.

Wang Wentong wanted to give up his son-in-law and benefactor; Kublai Khan wanted to eliminate his grudges.

But fortunately, this pair of monarchs and ministers have done it...

~~
At the same time, in the Hall of Renzheng.

Several secret letters were thrown on the ground, and as the Mongolian language sounded in Kublai Khan's mouth, someone translated it for Wang Wentong.

"It is known to the whole world that you teach your virtuous son-in-law to be rebellious. Now I ask you why you should oppose him?"

Wang Wentong's eyes fell, and he saw that the secret letter was the one he handed over to Kublai Khan.

How could he, a great talent in this world, not even be able to hide a few secret letters while plotting against him?

Therefore, Wang Wentong was quite calm in his heart, thinking that His Majesty wanted to blame himself once, and then he would show kindness later.

He made a salute, and immediately responded: "I am terrified, I am an ant, I wish to survive, and I will take the Zhao family in the south of the Yangtze River as your majesty."

"..."

Kublai Khan suddenly laughed, and then he heard the interpreter say: "Qing is really impudent!"

Wang Wentong was stunned for a moment, unable to react for a while.

"From the beginning to the end, you never even said the sentence 'I deserve death', how can I spare your life?! Someone, take it down!"

Wang Wentong widened his eyes and suddenly realized something.

However, before he could react, the Hercules in the palace had already pounced on him and knocked him to the ground...
