The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 82 Zhao Kuangyin leaves Beijing

But Zhao Xu didn't want everyone to have much confidence in this expedition. He wanted everyone to worship Miao Xun and let people know Miao Xun's magic stick, which would be very helpful for the follow-up plan.

At that time, Miao Xun was still the boss and was reluctant. He had a certain understanding of the art of divination, and it could be said that he had high attainments, but he was really not used to making him a magic stick.But in the end, under Zhao Xu's strong request, Miao Xun made a temporary guest appearance as a magic stick.

The soldiers stretched their necks. They were most concerned about whether they would win or lose this time. At this time, the chances of killing people in battle were very high. Everyone hoped that every battle would go smoothly.

Falling down, falling down, everyone is very nervous, if the result is not good, everyone will definitely be finished, and you can't be a deserter, if the deserter is caught, your life will be worse than death.

With bursts of crisp sounds, ten copper coins all fell on the table. Everyone wanted to see what the result would be, but no one dared to move forward. The military laws of the imperial army are extremely strict. , are all honestly in the queue.

Zhao Kuangyin probably knew everyone's feelings, so he ordered several soldiers representatives to come up, and saw that all the ten copper coins were positive, and the words Zhou Yuan Tong Bao seemed so clear at this moment.

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and the soldiers representatives immediately started dancing:
"Brothers, it's all positive. I really see it. This is what I saw with my own eyes. That means we will definitely return in victory this time. God has already announced it. Oh yes, long live, long live!"

"Long live"

"Long live"

Everyone is very excited, who doesn't want to return safely, since God has shown us that we will definitely win at this time, it means that the lives of these people are guaranteed to a certain extent.Zhao Kuangyin didn't expect that such a small move would make the soldiers like this. At first, he didn't agree with Zhao Xu's idea!

Now it seems that the effect is good. Zhao Kuangyin raised one hand, and after a short pause, the whole chaotic scene immediately quieted down, very quickly, and the movements were neat and neat. There was only the whistling wind and snowflakes on the entire parade ground. falling sound.

"Everyone be quiet, the Taoist priest still has something to say, everyone listen to the Taoist priest." Zhao Kuangyin stood in front of the soldiers and said loudly.

At this time, Miao Xun was shaking his Taoist robe, and he really looked like a fairy. Everyone called the old god in their hearts.Miao Xun is not old, but Zhao Xu asked him to wear some fake beards, don't tell me it's really interesting.

Miao Xun didn't speak, but kept counting with his fingers. It took the boss a lot of time before he said slowly:
"According to God's revelation, everyone will be able to return safely this time, and the heavy snow will stop soon. But there will be a little accident in the middle, the key is to see how everyone chooses, it will affect everyone's wealth. Life is connected." Miao Xun looked solemn.

"What's the accident? It's still related to our property and life. What if we don't talk about whether we will return safely? Then why is there an accident?"

"That's right, the Taoist priest said that the heavy snow will stop after a while. How is this possible? How can such a heavy snow stop?"

"That's right, is the Taoist priest right? Don't you lie to us in the end?"

"No way, I think the Taoist priest's divination just now is very miraculous, it shouldn't be possible!"

The soldiers heard Miao Xun say that there would be a small accident in the middle, and everyone was discussing in a low voice. If it weren't for the restrictions of military law, they would have turned upside down long ago.

Zhao Kuangyin frowned, they didn't tell me about the suspension of the university, snow is ruled by the heavens, how can it stop as soon as it is said, isn't this nonsense?If the heavy snow doesn't stop, how can we proceed in the future.

Even Zhao Kuangyin didn't believe it. After all, in their view, wind and rain are celestial phenomena, which can be controlled by ordinary people. In fact, everyone and Zhao Kuangyin have the same thoughts.

Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Pu next to him also thought the same way. Although they admired Mr. Miao Xun, what he said this time was too big. What if it doesn't come true?

Just when everyone was wondering, the snowflakes in the sky gradually became smaller, gradually the blood was heard, only the hunting north wind was still whistling, everyone was stunned for a moment, this Miao Xun could really predict God's will?For a moment, the eyes of Miao Xun were full of respect.

In fact, there is nothing, and it is not that Miao Xun can predict the will of heaven. Miao Xun was born in the family of Marquis Wu. Things are not at hand.

To be honest, there is nothing wrong with it. Miao Xun has studied astronomical phenomena for many years, and with some daily accumulation, he concluded that the heavy snow will stop tomorrow at the latest. As long as it stops, it means that he is right.

Besides, it doesn't matter if they don't stop, he can take this opportunity to say that God's will has changed again, and he can even take this opportunity to help them with the big event they are planning.

Zhao Kuangyin was also stunned, thinking in his heart: "Could it be that God really favors me, is it really the destiny?" He quickly calmed down and said to his soldiers:
"Brothers, do you see that even the heavens help us, we must act according to the will of the heavens, and the Taoist leader will follow us on the march, we will definitely be invincible, on the day of return, I will invite the court and reward the army, long live the week !"

"Long live the big week"

"Long live the big week"

The shouts of the soldiers were endless, but they didn't know whether they were for the reward after returning or for other things. Then they left Kaifeng and rushed north.

, Zhao Kuangyin didn't do any pre-war mobilization, the morale of the army was very high, and everyone was full of confidence.

"My lords, Mr. Zhao has left the capital." A man with the appearance of a soldier came in to report.I saw Fan Zhi, Wang Pu and Han Tong in the house.

Han Tong asked, "They didn't act abnormally, did they?" Xiao Bing shook his head vigorously:

"There's nothing abnormal about it. If it's abnormal, they asked an old Taoist priest to make a fortune on the school grounds before dispatching troops. Is there really nothing else?"

"Okay, there's nothing for you here, go down." Han Tong waved his hand to let him go down.

"My lords, as long as Zhao Kuangyin leaves Beijing this time, our plan will be half successful. After a few days, when he can't find the Khitan and Northern Han troops, we can use this to punish him and take the opportunity to deprive him of military power. , After that, he didn't let us decide."

Han Tong laughed wantonly, his voice full of pride:
"After they have military power, we can squeeze him flat and round him. At that time, he will be a toothless tiger."

Wang Pu here doesn't know what he is thinking, Fan Zhi's face is full of sadness, and he looks a little pale:
"Master Han, shall we do this? No matter how you say it, Zhao Kuangyin is a minister that Emperor Sejong relies heavily on, and he is also a famous military exploit in my court. We are like this, isn't it a bit..."

Fan Zhi, like Feng Dao, is sometimes a kind person, but he is not kind, and he is a little embarrassed behind the scenes when he stabs the knife in front of him.

"Old man, you came up with the idea at the time. I just added a little embellishment in the middle. What do you mean by the appearance of your clothes now?"

Han Tong only dared to think these words in his heart, but he didn't dare to say them, but he really despised people like Fan Zhi, who wanted to set up a memorial archway even after making buns.

"Hehe, Mr. Fan filtered it. We did this for the sake of Sejong's country. Think about it, these people left behind by Sejong are either stubborn or brave. In time, His Majesty and the court will not be sure. Will you be able to order them? By then we will be more passive."

What Han Tong said, in fact, Fan Zhi also considered that some generals headed by Zhao Kuangyin were not good at fighting, and their military achievements were countless. The army even only knew Zhao Kuangyin's name, but not His Majesty.

This is very dangerous. Think about the reckless emperors of the Five Dynasties, which one was not a general. No matter what you do, as long as you firmly control the army, you have a chance to be the emperor.

To really meet that sentence, the emperor takes turns to do it. When he comes to my house next year, it seems that it is not a good thing for the army to be controlled by one person.

"What Mr. Han said is true, but I always feel a little sorry for Mr. Zhao." Fan Zhi sighed after finishing speaking.

"Lord Fan, we have no choice but to do this for the future of my Great Zhou. Although I am sorry to Zhao Kuangyin, we are worthy of the former emperor, the current emperor, and the thousands of people of the Great Zhou. I, Han, have a clear conscience."

What Han Tong said was awe-inspiring, and he was full of righteousness. At this time, he was a loyal minister of the Great Zhou, not to mention that Han Tong was really a loyal minister of the Great Zhou.

In order to repay the kindness of Taizu and Sejong to him, he dedicated himself to Dazhou. Although there was a little selfishness in it, it was really for Dazhou, just to get some benefits by the way.

Fan Zhi couldn't stop nodding when he heard this. He himself was educated in Confucian culture, and he was instilled with the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. Hearing what Han Tong said, Fan Zhi's guilt towards Zhao Kuangyin was gone.

Wang Pu next to him didn't think so. He knew Zhao Kuangyin's character well, and all the soldiers in the army worked hard for him. If you do this, the soldiers will be dissatisfied. What will you do then?
Ever since he was entrusted by Sejong, although he was the prime minister, he did not have much real power, and was monopolized by Fan Zhi. You can see that when Wei Renpu was in Sejong, he moved to Zhongshu Shilang, Ping Zhangshi, Jixian Hall University scholar and privy envoy.The current emperor ascended the throne and added the Minister of the Ministry of punishment.

He is also an important minister, but he is also excluded. Like you, you are ashamed to say that it is for Da Zhou.
