Zhao Huan was stunned for half a cup of tea before he came back to his senses. He glanced at Zhang Xiaochun with a complicated expression, not knowing what to say. It stands to reason that collaborating with the enemy and treason should be executed everywhere. Even if Zhang Bin is dead, the result cannot be changed. However, Zhang Xiaochun was an honest and honest official, and he persisted in his efforts so that Taiyuan was not lost, so he should not be held accountable.

Which one should we talk about, the law or human relations?Zhao Huan subconsciously looked at Xu Zizhen.

Xu Zizhen didn't expect Zhang Xiaochun to be so excited. As the saying goes, the poison of a tiger doesn't eat its son, but he even killed his own son for the sake of the country's righteousness. Where can I find such a good official?Seeing Zhao Huan's gaze cast over him, it was exactly what he wanted.

He sighed softly and said: "Your Highness, the Taiyuan City has been besieged these days, all thanks to Mr. Zhang leading the troops to defend the city day and night. If it weren't for him, none of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Taiyuan City would be spared. It's a pity that the tiger father died According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, Mr. Zhang should be punished this time, but there is a big problem right now, that is, we are busy chopping off the head of the prefect just after the Jinren retired. Does the dog read the joke? And the joke is trivial. If the Jin people take this opportunity to attack again, the hearts of the people will be scattered. Who will lead everyone to defend the city? Once Taiyuan is lost, the entire northern line of the Song Dynasty will be in a complete emergency. Who should bear the big blame?"

The words are simple, direct, vulgar and easy to understand. Although everyone present is quite disdainful of Xu Zizhen's use of the adjective "black pot", the words are not rough. Now all the soldiers and civilians in Taiyuan only obey Zhang Xiaochun. Even Xu Zizhen is probably just a fool in the hearts of the people As soon as Zhang Xiaochun was removed from the position of Elder Ke Qing, Taiyuan would be in chaos.

Zhao Huan is timid, but he is not stupid. How could he not understand this?Immediately, he nodded and said: "What Zizhen said is very true. If so, how should we deal with it in your opinion?"

Xu Zizhen secretly praised Zhao Huan enough, Zhang Xiaochun had already figured out how to deal with it, since the crown prince spoke, he quickly continued: "I'm just a commoner, I don't see anything, but the crown prince likes me and let me say it, then I will Let me give you some advice, Mr. Zhang has been in Taiyuan for a long time and has won the hearts of the people. If he is in the city, he will be there. If this is the case, Mr. Zhang will not be promoted for three years. What do you think, Your Highness?"

Everyone is a little confused, so no promotion within three years?That is to say, as long as Zhang Xiaochun does not make a big mistake, he will continue to be his Taiyuan prefect for the next three years?No matter how you look at it, it's a bit innocuous.

Zhao Huan groaned for a while, and actually nodded his head in response: "Okay, this matter is guaranteed. After returning to Beijing, I will report to the officials alone. If there are any objections in the court, I will bear it alone."

Zhang Xiaochun was already kneeling, when he heard this, he immediately kowtowed his head, with tears streaming down his face, he shouted tremblingly: "Sinner Zhang Xiaochun, thank Your Highness Long En!"

Xu Zizhen waited for him to kowtow and went over to help him up, and beckoned for a guard, asking him to send Zhang Xiaochun back to the mansion to rest first, and also collect Zhang Bin's body for another burial.

After the turmoil subsided, Xu Zizhen cast his eyes on Yan Yucong who was at the side. The female spy of the Kingdom of Jin was nestling quietly in a corner, Xiao Nongyu was watching her. Her hands and feet were injured by Qiongying. I couldn't move for a while, and I couldn't escape if I wanted to.

Xu Zizhen walked up to her and stood still, and said with a sneer, "Miss Yan, do you have anything else to say at this point?"

Yan Yucong said calmly, expressionless: "What do you want me to say?"

Xu Zizhen bent down to lift her chin, glanced at her face, a smile suddenly hung on the corner of his mouth: "I have a lot to ask you, but I don't have time now, I will find you later." Xiao Nongyu said, "Tie her up and find a room for her to stay."

Xiao Nongyu responded, and carried Yan Yucong to the backyard. San Jue Tang had many means, even if he didn't tie her up with a rope, he couldn't escape her.

The sky gradually brightened, and the night passed while talking. Xu Zizhen walked back to Zhao Huan and said something in a low voice. Zhao Huan nodded again and again. After Xu Zizhen finished speaking, he coughed and said loudly: Take a good rest for half a day, tonight the orphan will hold a banquet to celebrate the victory!"

There was a burst of cheers from below: "His Royal Highness is a thousand years old!"

A beautiful battle of defending the city came to an end. At the cost of very little casualties of the Song army, 3 soldiers of the Jin army were swallowed up. The blood flowed into a river outside the city of Taiyuan, and the corpses were piled up everywhere. Drinks rushed to the city to reward the army.

Wanyan Zonghan in the Jinjun camp was furious with thunder. He couldn't help being angry. This time the siege was not foolproof in his plan, but it had a great chance of winning, but he never thought it would be like this One of the endings, when Apuwang sent a distress signal, he had a very bad feeling, and sent reinforcements without even thinking about it, but when the reinforcements arrived, he found that it was too late, and the Song people had already evacuated , The speed was very fast, and the retreat was orderly. More than 1000 cavalry who looked like bandits went first, and the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion all rode backwards on their horses and retreated slowly.

The Jin people have all suffered from the Shenji Battalion, and they stopped when they saw the firecrackers in their hands. Even if the reinforcements had [-] cavalry and [-] infantry, they would definitely not be able to catch up with them so rashly. .

Wanyan Zonghan really wanted to kill people. The [-] former soldiers who were fighting high-spirited a few hours ago said they were gone, and they were gone. The deputy commander of the army, A Puwang, and the generals did not survive. No corpse was found when cleaning the battlefield. , must have been captured by the Song people.

boom!

The whole case was kicked to the ground by Wan Yan Zonghan, his eyes were so angry that he could spit fire, several staff officers with the army looked at each other, and said cautiously: "Zuo Shuai, Song people have been weak for a long time, and they won a small victory by chance. It’s not enough to be afraid, it’s better to attack the city with all your strength, and it’s bound to be..."

Wanyan Zonghan said angrily: "What a fart to attack! Song people have won new victories, and their morale is high. If they attack again at this time, they will definitely lose!"

The staff waited to say more, Wanyan Zonghan burst into anger: "Get out! Get out!"

……

When Wanyan Zonghan was angry, Xu Zizhen walked slowly to the backyard and gently pushed open a door.

crunch...

The morning sun slanted into the room, and a woman curled up in the corner slowly raised her head, her face was bleak and her temples were disheveled. It was Yan Yucong, the female spy of the Kingdom of Jin.

Seeing Xu Zizhen standing at the door with an evil smile on his face, her heart skipped a beat suddenly, a feeling of uneasiness rose up, she wanted to run away desperately, but unfortunately she couldn't move at all now.

The woman who was pretending to be a servant girl didn't know what to eat for her, and now she has no strength in her whole body, even sitting on the ground like this is extremely reluctant.

"Don't worry about it in vain, I won't say anything." Yan Yucong pretended to be calm, but the trembling in her voice still betrayed her.

Xu Zizhen lifted his foot and walked in, with a weird smile on his lips, and closed the door behind him: "I didn't intend to ask you anything."

Yan Yucong was surprised: "Then what are you doing here?"

The corner of Xu Zizhen's mouth raised: "Guess?"

A big hand gradually enlarged in Yan Yucong's pupil, and finally landed on her face, and slowly and gently moved down along the cheek.
