I was the richest man in Da Song

Chapter 77
After Zhao Heng returned to the harem, he was worried. The bravery of the Liao army left a deep impression on him. If the war between the two countries could not be quelled, the consequences would be disastrous.

Originally, he wanted to find some comfort from Liu E, but he didn't expect Liu E to give him another bad news.

"Your Majesty, I originally didn't want to bring up this important matter of the military and the country, but after much deliberation, I still want to ask Your Majesty to make up my mind."

"Let's talk about my concubine, why do you and my husband have such taboos?" Zhao Heng was still patient and wanted to hear what Liu E would say.

"He Shao is gone"

"What does it mean to go"

"Dou En went to Dongpo Residence today and found He Anwen, He Jing, He Shao's family and the guard He Si packed up the gold and silver, and left Kaifeng early in the morning in a bullock cart."

"Leaving Kaifeng City? In what direction are you going?"

The problem that has plagued the entire Song Dynasty for decades was solved by He Shao's strange trick. Zhao Heng valued He Shao very much, but he didn't like He Shao's attitude so much that he procrastinated on the knighthood.

"Dou En reported that he was going north."

Liu E looked up at Zhao Heng with a pale face.

"North, that's the direction of Liao Kingdom. Does he want to enter Liao? Didn't I just not give him a title? Is he going to abandon the country?" Zhao Heng is now somewhat regretful, mixed with anger.

"Li Hang told me that He Shao was young after all, and he was proud and arrogant, and he needed to be subdued as well as convincing. Was I wrong about this again?"

"The concubine knows that His Majesty wants to beat him, and let him know that no matter who he is or what talent he is, you are the king of the Song Dynasty, so you are right, Your Majesty."

Zhao Heng, who was originally lost, was calmed down by Liu E's few words.

"That's right, I am the heaven of Song Dynasty, thunder, rain and dew are all grace from heaven"

"He Shao's family slave said that he was going to Jinyang's hometown to worship the ancestors, but just in case the concubine would become a concubine, he had already sent Dou En with the imperial army to chase after him.

If he surrendered to the enemy under the guise of offering sacrifices to his ancestors, he would be captured directly. After all, Jinyang is not far from the Liao Kingdom, so he has to guard against it.

If He Shao really wants to worship his ancestors, then let these forbidden soldiers be his guards, and using the forbidden soldiers as his guards will give him enough face, if he is smart, he will naturally know what is good or bad."

"Benevolence and power are in harmony, I am really lucky to have you"

Zhao Heng walked up to the dragon case, picked up a brush to write down a few words, and stamped it with a big seal.

"Have someone catch up to Doon and give this to him"

Li Hang and Xiang Minzhong knew that Zhao Heng had saved face for these old ministers who followed the dragon in the court hall, and the emperor wanted to make peace with all his heart, so naturally these hard-line ones would not end well.

Zhao Heng was already sitting in the deep palace waiting for the two to hand in their resignations, but what Zhao Heng received was not a resignation but an impeachment memorial.

Li Hang and Xiang Minzhong, two old men, were in the quiet room where Dongpo lived, eating meat and drinking wine, with Yunniang playing the piano next to him, feeling very comfortable.

"I used to be troubled by all kinds of things every day, but now I feel free and at ease, and I feel much younger." Li Hang said and moved his body.

"I cherish fame all my life, Li Taichu, Li Taichu, I thought you could come up with some good idea to get us both out, but I didn't expect you to kill me." Xiang Minzhong looked at Li Hang with a dark face and drank Take a sip of wine.

"It's an elegant thing to be able to have a romantic affair at this age, but I'm sorry for Miss Yunniang," Li Hang said with a smile.

"Yunniang has always admired you two for being human, not to mention that Yunniang is the daughter of a criminal officer, and my reputation doesn't make any difference to me," Yunniang said.

"The prisoner's daughter? Your father is..."

"Former Imperial Physician Chen Mo"

Both Li Hang and Xiang Minzhong were a little surprised, they were no strangers to Chen Mo.

The root of the disease was caused by two arrows in the body of Emperor Taizong's Northern Expedition to the Gaoliang River. When it rained on a cloudy day, the arrow wounds would cause a dull pain. When the pain was severe, he could not sleep at night, and the emperor's character became erratic because of this.

The emperor's arrow wound was seriously ill, and he had dealt with a group of imperial physicians' family members in a fit of rage. Chen Mo was one of them, and Xiang Minzhong felt a little regretful when he mentioned this matter.

"It's inconvenient for me to comment on the old affairs of the previous dynasty. I think about how I can compensate you." Li Hang thought for a moment and said
"Are you Feng Lang's domestic slave? When this brat comes back, I will ask him to release you from slavery, give you back your freedom, and then tell you a good family."

"The young master tore up the body contract a long time ago, it was Yunniang who voluntarily stayed here."

Yunniang also thought about leaving He Shao before, but later found that she had nowhere to go, and He Shao was different from all the men he had ever met. Staying here seemed like a good destination.

The city of Kaifeng is full of wind and rain, and it is widely rumored that Li Hang, the chief assistant, and Xiang Minzhong, the first privy envoy of the military general, are fighting for a beautiful girl.

Many people were amazed, and it also convinced more old women who have been married for many years that lust is the nature of all men, regardless of age.

Li Hang understands human nature best, he knows what it means to be a tiger by three people, but just letting out a rumor will set off a wave of rumors.

In the process of spreading rumors, they will become more and more true after being further processed and supplemented by countless good people in Kaifeng City.

First, it was rumored that it had been two years since Xiang Minzhongfa's wife had passed away, and the old man started thinking about continuing.

Later, it was rumored that when Li Hang and Xiang Minzhong went to Dongpoju for a drink, they undoubtedly found a stunning woman. They fell in love at first sight.

Those wealthy households in Kaifeng City who have been to Dongpo Residence began to testify from the sidelines that there is indeed such a person named Yun Niang in Dongpo Residence. For three days without a break.

There are also rumors that this Yunniang is a widow with no children but has many shops and collections of books. The newspaper house is Yunniang's property. Yunniang wants to take these dowry to marry the old man Xiang Minzhong as the main wife.

Xiang Minzhong fell in love with Yunniang's appearance and family wealth, and met Li Hang again.

Zhao Heng was originally worried about the military affairs of Sanguan, but he couldn't help laughing angrily when he saw the impeachment memorial saying that the two old men got angry and became confidantes, so they fought.

The two had known each other for many years, and Zhao Heng knew exactly what kind of person they were, how such absurd things could happen.

"Your Majesty, the people around Li Xiang have already started to defend themselves in court, but don't you find it strange that they have chosen not to speak up?" Liu E asked.

"Is this really the case? The character of the two old ministers is absolutely incapable of doing such a thing." Zhao Heng trusted Li Hang Xiang Minzhong very much.

"Your Majesty, don't you see that the two old ministers are insulting themselves.

If you are because of their tough attitude towards Liao, or because you have no reason to dismiss the two old ministers who have been in charge of the government for decades, this will send a very bad message to the monarchs and ministers of the Liao Kingdom, that is, you urgently want peace. .

The old ministers are unwilling to let the Liao Kingdom find out your details before the peace talks have started, so this is why they choose to defile themselves and give you a reason to dismiss the prime minister."

What Li Hang and Xiang Minzhong didn't expect was that the one who knew them best was Liu E, who they looked down on the most before.

Seeing that the two of them spared no expense in accumulating the reputation they had accumulated all their lives, Zhao Heng couldn't bear it anymore.

"Your Majesty, don't let them down."

"According to my decree, Li Han and Xiang Minzhong's misbehavior has caused rumors in Kaifeng City to continue. Both of them will be dismissed from all court positions and Kou Zhun will temporarily replace them."

The two waited at the mansion, guessing that the time was almost up, and they would soon receive the emperor's decree to dismiss him.

"Master, the rumors outside are getting more and more outrageous."

"tell me the story"

The scandal he fabricated was too successful, and Li Hang was a little complacent, which made Li Zhong dumbfounded.

"They said that the reason why you accepted He Shao, a merchant, as your student regardless of your identity was because he was your illegitimate son"

"If the old man really has such an illegitimate child, he will be happy even if he is exhausted."

Immediately, Li Hang pinched his beard and felt a little discouraged. It would be great if the rumors were true.
