The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 291 Contact
The autumn colors are deep and the cold wind is heavy, but the city of Bianjing is extremely lively.

Shi Shouxin returned triumphantly with the army, and the people on the street lined up to welcome him, and the returning soldiers were full of glory.

A group of people entered the palace, and after waiting for Zhao Kuangyin to reward them, they were rewarded with an imperial banquet. After the banquet, it was too late.

Just as Huo Zhan left the palace, a carriage rushed towards him.

The carriage stopped in front of Huo Zhan, and a thin man stepped out from inside.

Huo Zhan was a little surprised, and said, "Your Excellency?"

"I'll look at it in Kaifeng Mansion Su. I don't know if Mr. Huo is willing to honor it?"

Huo Zhan was startled, he had heard about Su Tongkan, and he knew that Su Tongkan was from the King of Jin. Now that Su Tongkan wanted to invite him, it must be at the King Jin's favor.

After Huo Zhan was startled, he showed a slight smile: "So it's Mr. Su, please."

After getting into the carriage that Su looked at, Huo Zhan said again: "I heard that Mr. Su and Mr. Liu are very caring, is that so?"

Hearing Huo Zhan's question about Liu Wei, Su looked a little surprised, but soon realized that Huo Zhan went deep into the belly of the Liao people. At that time, Liu Wei was the only one who expressed his support. Liu Wei was Huo Zhan's confidant. Since he is a confidant, he is naturally very interested.

"I can still get along with Mr. Liu. In fact, besides Mr. Huo, I also invited Mr. Liu today."

"Oh?" Huo Zhan was a little surprised, he didn't expect Su Tongkan to invite Liu Wei.

Su Tongkan smiled and nodded. The solution he thought of early in the morning was to rely on Liu Wei. Since Liu Wei has a kindness to Huo Zhan, it is most appropriate to bring Liu Wei out if he wants to subdue Huo Zhan.

Although Liu Wei didn't explicitly express his support to the King of Jin, everyone in the capital knew that Liu Wei was from the King of Jin, so it shouldn't be a problem to invite Liu Wei here, right?

The carriage ran quickly on the street, and finally stopped in front of Qin's Restaurant. At this time, Qin's Restaurant had already posted a closing sign, but the door was open. After getting out of the carriage, Cao Jue heard voices coming from inside. ran out.

"The two of you are too slow, hurry up, the food and wine are all served."

Huo Zhan did not expect to see Cao Jue in this place, but even though he did not expect it, he felt more at ease. The two had experienced life and death in the hinterland of the Liao people, and he also liked Cao Jue's straightforwardness. Well, now that Cao Jue is here, I don't think there will be any danger in this trip.

Su Tongkan and Huo Zhan entered the restaurant, Liu Wei stood up and said with a smile: "Master Huo led 200 people into the hinterland of Liao Kingdom and successfully restrained the Liao army, but I am the hero of this battle in the Song Dynasty, come, please sit down. "

Huo Zhan had heard of Liu Wei for a long time, but this was the first time he had met him. Seeing that Liu Wei was about the same age as him, he was very surprised, but he still quickly smiled and said, "Don't dare, dare not, if it wasn't for Mr. Liu in front of all the officials Fight hard for the subordinates, I am afraid that the subordinates will become criminals."

The two of them said this, and Cao Jue got a little impatient: "Okay, okay, what's there to say, we're here today for a drink, what are you talking about?"

Liu Wei knew Cao Jue very well, so after hearing what he said, he showed a slight smile and said, "Lord Huo, Mr. Su, please."

After everyone sat down at the wine table, they began to drink. After drinking for three rounds, the chatterbox opened up, and everyone talked about everything.It's just that every word Su Dongkan said to Huo Zhan seemed to carry a deep meaning.

It was already getting late after everyone finished drinking like this.

It started to rain in the evening, and the autumn rain was slightly cool.

After Liu Wei got into the carriage, she couldn't help sighing.

I'm afraid that no one but Cao Jue knows what Su looks at today, but he, Liu Wei, has no choice but to help.

Now the various forces in the court are already in a state of daggers drawn. If they are not handled properly, they may explode at any time. Since Liu Wei is already a member of King Jin, he naturally wants to do something for King Jin.

It's just that for people like Huo Zhan, Liu Wei doesn't want him to be involved.

Chaotang is a big dye vat, a place where all kinds of people fight for power and profit. Although Huo Zhan is a smart person, he is not suitable to participate in these struggles. When eating and drinking with Huo Zhan today, he has already learned something from Huo Zhan. Condition.

Huo Zhan wanted to go to the border gate to guard the country, Liu Wei felt that this was suitable for Huo Zhan, but whether the court would let him go was another matter.

Jin Wangfu.

King Jin nodded after listening to Su Another Kan's report: "Mr. did a good job, but from the perspective of Mr. Huo Zhan, what does Huo Zhan mean?"

"He doesn't object to joining the prince, but he doesn't want to stay in the capital, but wants to go to the border gate to guard the country."

"He is a man of ambition. Since he wants to go to the border, then the king will help him."

As soon as King Jin finished speaking, Su Tongkan quickly shook his head: "My lord, no."

Jin Wang was a little puzzled, and said: "Since he has taken refuge in this king, why can't this king help him realize his wish to go to the border gate? Besides, it is also a good thing for this king that he has gone to the border gate. I have mastered the border again. A military power."

Su Another looked at it and smiled: "My lord misunderstood, my subordinates are not opposed to Huo Zhan going to the border, but the lord can't help with this matter, and now the lord is still afraid of the lord, you suddenly recommend Huo Zhan to go to the border, what will the sage think ?”

Seeing such a reminder from Su Tong, King Jin immediately understood that he is now in a sensitive period, how could he send his own people to the border?I'm afraid that as soon as he opens his mouth, his suspicious emperor brother will immediately object and become wary of Huo Zhan.

Huo Zhan is a talent, Jin Wang didn't want him to sacrifice because of the power struggle between them.

"Sir, what you said is not bad, but if I don't show up, who would be better?"

Su looked at Shen Mei for a moment, and said: "Originally, it would be good for Liu Wei to mention this matter to the Holy One. Now the border is not stable, and Liu Wei strongly advocates sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight. The situation at the border is changing rapidly. There is a person like It's good for people like Huo Zhan to guard him, but now Liu Wei is more inclined to the prince, this is a well-known thing, so it's a bit inappropriate for Liu Wei to explain to the Holy Spirit."

King Jin nodded: "Liu Wei can't go, so who should go?"

"Shi Shouxin."

"Shi Shouxin?" Jin Wang was a little surprised, and then he was a little embarrassed: "Shi Shouxin is indeed very suitable. He is a person who came back from the border and knows the border situation best. If he suggests that Huo Zhan guard the border, it is very likely that the Holy Majesty will agree. Great, it's just...it's just that Shi Shouxin is not from this king, he has always been from the Holy Majesty."

Su Another looked and nodded: "This subordinate naturally understands that Shi Shouxin is a brother with a different surname from the Holy Majesty, and he is loyal to the Holy Majesty. It's just that we want Shi Shouxin to help persuade the Holy Majesty, so why should we go and make a statement to Shi Shouxin?"

"What does Mr. Su mean?"

"Shi Shouxin admires Huo Zhan very much. Let Huo Zhan ask Shi Shouxin. Huo Zhan wants to guard the border. Shi Shouxin will never refuse Huo Zhan's appreciation."

After Su Another read, King Jin suddenly realized that he felt that he had gone too far in thinking about things, and he had to go around in circles when he could do it directly.

Huo Zhan can do this by himself, so why do they have to intervene?
"Sir, sir, if this is the case, please hint to Huo Zhan that if he wants to go to the border, he can ask Shi Shouxin."

The autumn rain is pattering, and the fallen leaves are colorful.

Huo Zhan couldn't help shivering after returning to the post house. Today's banquet looks very harmonious, but there are mysteries everywhere.

Although he is only Enke Jinshi and not very talented, he is still very sensitive to politics. How could he not know what Su looked at today?
Although Liu Wei did not express his opinion, it is not difficult to see that Liu Wei is indeed inclined to King Jin.

Looking at the bleak scenery outside the window, Huo Zhan sighed.

He is no stranger to the King of Jin. He served as the Governor of Kaifeng and did a lot of things for the people of the Song Dynasty. Just those three Qingtian guillotines were enough to win the hearts of the people of the world.

If such a person becomes an emperor, he might not be a good emperor, and according to the system of brothers and sisters in the Song Dynasty, King Jin is indeed qualified to be an emperor.

Therefore, it is a good choice to take refuge in King Jin.

But for some reason, Huo Zhan faintly rejected it.

Maybe it's a disagreement of ideas.

Huo Zhan was very clear about his intentions, what he wanted was not a high position or power in the court, what he wanted was the peace of the border, the Changping of the Song Dynasty, and he had the ambition to wipe out the Khitan and Liao people.

He wanted to dedicate his whole life to fighting in the cold wind at the border.

Huo Zhan stretched out his hand out of the window, the autumn rain dripped on his palm, it was a little cold, Huo Zhan clenched his fists tightly, he felt that he could no longer stay in the capital, the intrigue here was not suitable for him, he should go to the border, he should put on a war coat Robe, standing on the wall commanding thousands of troops.

That's the life he wanted.

The border, the border, there must be someone to guard it. The Liao people are wolfish ambitions, and the Northern Han Dynasty is swaying. They may attack the border at any time.

Just when Huo Zhan was thinking this way, a guard hurried over in the rain: "My lord, there is a letter from you."

Huo Strategy was suspicious. He took the letter and opened it to read it. After reading it, he was overjoyed, but he quickly regained his composure and burned the letter. After burning the letter, Huo Zhan's seriousness just now disappeared. Light.

He looked in the direction of the border gate and thought to himself, maybe when winter comes, he can also go to the border gate. The cold snow outside the Great Wall and the flute of Qiang flute are the most attractive scenery.

When a man is a man, he should be tragic and confused.

Thinking about it, Huo Zhan smiled slightly. He knew that if he wanted to go to the border again, he needed to find a time and opportunity to meet Shi Shouxin. Although he didn't think he had a good impression of Shi Shouxin, he believed that Shi Shouxin will definitely be able to help with this matter.
