Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 1169 Zhang Qiyuan's Fall Out of Favor
Judging from the other party's demeanor, Li Gang obviously had hope for Zhao Jiong. He pondered for a while and said, "The treasury of the internal and external courts remains unchanged. Based on the Privy Council, a meeting of the Privy Council will be set up to deal with important foreign military affairs and major disasters. Matters, the emperor presides over the two governments and the six ministries to jointly discuss and customize for the internal and external courts."

Li Gang understood that Wang Xiu was restoring the emperor's right to make decisions about foreign affairs, as well as the right to participate in some major internal affairs, but he played a roundabout way, and the emperor made decisions in the form of a meeting between the two governments.In this way, in terms of official administrative procedures, the foreign court still has the legitimacy, and the power of internal affairs is still in the hands of the two governments.

He admits that it is not bad, it can restrain mediocre monarchs from acting recklessly, and at the same time give room for promising emperors to display their talents.However, from Wang Xiu's attitude, he could see a clue, thinking of his occasional thoughts, he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

"When everything is stabilized, the Northern Expedition must be made within five years, and there is no further delay." Wang Xiu glanced at Li Gang and said calmly. He directly expressed his thoughts, and this was the first time he stated the time.

Li Gang's pupils constricted. The Northern Expedition is the most sacred word in his mind. The reason why he has supported the New Deal for a long time is that he sees the hope of development. The hope lies in the strength to support the recovery of the homeland. However, he did not expect to hear the hope today. He stared at Looking at Wang Xiu, he said seriously: "Everything has to be done in writing."

Now that he has fulfilled his wish, he is willing to let Wang Xiu come to make contributions, which can be regarded as his concession to Wang Xiu, and it is also a signal for him to gradually lift his guard.Of course, he can't let go of it completely, but he only hopes that Wang Xiu can make a contribution, let go of his worries, and make a good story.

"There is a Ming Lord who works on state affairs, and you and I can enjoy the drink of the sweet spring in peace. Life is too short, and if we don't enjoy ourselves in time, I'm afraid we will be powerless." Wang Xiu joked, but expressed some meaning vaguely.

Li Gang glanced at Wang Xiu playfully, and said indifferently: "Wen Shi is young, and he can tell others about all the delicate things in the Golden House, but he still has to assist Mingzhu."

Wang Xiu's complexion changed slightly, but he was pleasantly surprised. He was indeed taken aback by Li Gang's point of privacy. What he did was quite secretive. How could Li Gang know, and who else would know?Will it spread to the family?The good news is that Li Gang cryptically stated that he would support Zhao Jiong's superior position. It seems that this person is also a sensible person.

Seeing that Wang Xiu was deflated and still kept calm, the rigid Li Gang couldn't help laughing, and said playfully, "What's wrong with Wen Shi?"

"Oh, I suddenly remembered something." Wang Xiu concealed embarrassment, gave up the idea of ​​going to Xuanwu Lake, and said: "Leave Donghuamen, so let's go."

The journey was quite peaceful, with the bustling flow of people, the ups and downs of hawkers, the shops and teahouses being greeted and sent, and the carriages passing through the streets.

When he came out of Donghuamen South Street and was about to go to Yujie through Dongxi Street, Xu Zhong stepped in front of the horse and shouted: "My lord, be careful."

But Wang Xiu saw a horse-drawn carriage galloping straight towards him, but she was startled, she was too crazy, and saw the carriage stop a few steps away.

"Why do you drive without looking at the road?" Xu Zhong squeezed his sweat, and almost bumped into Wang Xiu, and was so anxious that he drew his sword to face him.

"You don't even look at the road, and you're walking in the middle of the road without eyes." The coachman hurled insults at each other, looking confident.

Wang Xiu wanted to laugh, and almost bumped into himself. The guard just said something, and the other party didn't apologize. Instead, he retorted with a rather arrogant attitude. It seemed that he was either a high-ranking official or a wealthy party, and said sharply: " Take it for me and send it to Jiangning Mansion."

Xu Zhong was about to start, but he heard a delicate voice from inside the car, saying: "So it's the prince, the prince should disperse the people, so as not to be spoken by the censor."

It makes sense, the Donghua Gate is a bustling place, and it is even more lively near the Yujie Street. Some people have gathered to look around, and the Yushi can't do anything to him, but it is obviously not a good thing to be talked about by the market. He said lightly: " Go both ways."

"I bumped into my husband, so I deserve an apology. The Shuiyue Tower is in front of me. I choose an elegant seat to serve tea for my husband. See you soon."

The carriage turned around, Wang Xiu couldn't help but shook his head and smiled wryly, Xu Zhong said hesitantly, "It seems...my lord, do you want to go?"

Wang Xiu shook her head and smiled wryly. She already knew who it was, and said helplessly, "Let's go and see."

Xu Zhong had a strange expression on his face, he was silent and could only lead the horse to follow.

In the north, it was bitterly cold in Shangjing, while the spring in the south of the Yangtze River was warm and flowers were blooming. At this time, the wind was still blowing cold, and Zhang Qiyuan's mind was like a cold winter, pulling out the coolness.

Seven years, after seven years, he was considered a man of the day in Dajin, he became a political advisor, almost a minister, and with the support of Wushu, he was determined to make changes, but the early stage went smoothly, and the national power of Dajin has grown greatly. With the development, Hebei, Hedong and other places gradually stabilized and were valued by Hebei.

It's just that if he wants to be completely angry, it must involve the fundamental interests of the Jurchens. On the issue of the Jurchens going south to occupy the land, he violated the interests of the Jurchens' noble chieftains. Moreover, he has a high reputation in Beijing and has close contacts with Han ministers. Formed a political force, which has the potential to replace Yuwen Xuzhong, and was feared by the Jurchens. If it weren't for Wushu's protection, it would have been unlucky. Another important person who supported him, Wu Ben, also died of illness early, making him lose a lot of money. Strong support.

However, the maintenance of Wushu is limited in the end. He relied on He Sang to forcefully enforce the order of returning to the land, and he wanted to distribute land to the Han people in Hebei, Hedong, and Shannan. These lands were all occupied by the Jurchen. Buying is also not the same thing, which creates a contradiction.

At that time, the noble Jurchens took the opportunity to attack Zhang Qiyuan and impeached Zhang Qiyuan one after another. Wushu was also in poor health and could hardly take care of him.Ever since it was reported that the emperor of the Song Dynasty was assassinated, he found Wushu in shock, pointed out his mistakes in the memorial, and he did not say anything on the surface, and he was no longer trusted in the past. Shadow, resignation becomes inevitable.

Facing Wu Shu, who occasionally felt the cold, he said helplessly: "Your Majesty, the south and the north are about to go, and the state affairs are only one step away. We still have hope for the Han family to return to their hearts. We still have hope, but we didn't expect this to happen."

Wu Shu is groggy and feels very bad. He has fought in the battlefield all his life, lived and slept in the open air, and has many scars. He is now an old man in his sixties.

He didn't know his luck. Generals never lived long. With Wang Xiu in this time and space, he didn't go through years of wars in the north and south, let alone fear of being killed. Instead, he stayed in Beijing for a long time to cultivate.

Hearing Zhang Qiyuan's complaints, he couldn't help but smiled wryly, and said: "Okay, it's just a temporary release, and I still have to come back."
