The Most Powerful Man in the World

For Chu Yi, Wang Zhengli and others do not know too much, but not a lot, at least as Chu Yi entered the capital under the banner of the Qingjun side and imprisoned Huizong Zhao Ji, and helped the new king Zhao Gou ascend to the throne, the name of Chu Yi became It spread all over the world, and many stories about Chu Yi gradually spread.

As someone in the officialdom, it would be a lie to say that they don't know anything about Chu Yi, but many rumors about Chu Yi circulating in the market are obviously just rumors, so it is said that Wang Zhengli and others know about Chu Yi. Not too much.

Wang Zhengli, Chen Mi and the others looked at each other. What they had done before, they couldn't be more clear in their hearts. Whether they could pass the border smoothly this time depended on whether Chu Yi passed the test.

Wang Zhi didn't notice the changes in the expressions of Wang Zhengli and the others beside him. He was completely immersed in joy. Wang Zhi only felt that this night was like a dream. First, Zhang Xiaochun, who was the envoy, actually wanted to take Taiyuan City. Dedicating it to the Jinren even calculated him to capture him. Just when he thought that Taiyuan City was about to fall into the hands of the Jinren, the twists and turns turned. Wang Zhengli and others actually set things right, beheaded Zhang Xiaochun, and released him. .Now that even the reinforcements from the imperial court have arrived, everything seems to be developing in a good direction.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Bin shouted in a deep voice, "Is there a token of King Song."

How much vigilance is being maintained? Wang Qi is sure that at least [-]% of the people outside the city are messengers of King Song, but he always has to make sure that if the other party is a Jin person who comes to cheat the city, if he accidentally gets a Jin person He was so dignified that he let Jin Ren enter the city, wouldn't he want to become a sinner through the ages?

The messenger seemed to have expected this, and shouted loudly: "Your Highness's letter is here, please check."

As he spoke, he saw a token flying over from the leeward, Wang Zhi stretched out his hand to grab it, and saw a heavy token fall into his hand.

After sweeping his eyes and seeing the token clearly, Wang Bin looked straight, and immediately said respectfully: "The last commander, Wang Bin, will open the city gate and welcome His Royal Highness into the city."

At the same time, the army outside the city also arrived under the city. Soon Wang Qi went down the city tower in person, only to hear a creaking sound, and saw the closed city gate slowly opening, and at the same time a red circle on the horizon. The sun leaped beyond the horizon, shedding a ray of light.

Bathed in the first rays of brilliance from the horizon, the army entered Taiyuan City mightily.

In the yamen of the prefect of Taiyuan Prefecture, all the officials of Taiyuan City gathered here to meet Chu Yi at this moment.

In the hall, Chu Yi sat upright in the center, his eyes fell on the dozen or so officials below. These dozen officials were the high-level officials of Taiyuan City.

With a glance, Chu Yi frowned and said, "Where is Zhang Xiaochun, the envoy of Xuanfu and the one who knows Taiyuan?"

Zhang Xiaochun, the king of the city, did not appear here. Of course, it attracted Chu Yi's attention. Seeing Chu Yi asking about Zhang Xiaochun's situation, Wang Zhi and Wang Zhengli had already expected this and looked at each other. At a glance, Wang Zhengli stepped forward and said, "Your Highness Qi, the matter of Zhang Xuan's envoy is quite complicated. It involves a major case of rebellion. Please explain it in detail."

Chu Yi glanced at Wang Zhengli lightly, although he said nothing, but the meaning was very clear, that is, let Wang Zhengli continue to speak.

Wang Zhengli straightened his clothes, and then explained in detail how Zhang Xiaochun, who had been processed by them, surrendered to the Jinmen and was beheaded by them.

Wang Bin cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, this is the truth, you really know people and faces but don't know your heart, if it wasn't for Wang Zhengli and others to put things right, I'm afraid that Zhang Xiaochun would have killed the general at this moment, and even Taiyuan City would fall. It's in the hands of the person who made the money."

Chu Yi heard Wang Zhengli's remarks, and there was a little smile on his face, but at this moment a figure came over, walked in front of Chu Yi, and whispered a voice transmission, Chu Yi's expression did not change, just rushed. Yang Zhi nodded slightly.

Yang Zhi stepped aside and glanced at Wang Zhengli and the others, with a bit of disdain deep in his eyes.

The hall was silent, and after a dozen or so breaths, even an idiot could feel the extremely depressing atmosphere in the hall.

Suddenly, Chu Yi said, "Can Wang Zhengli, Chen Mi, and others know the guilt?"

Wang Zhengli and Chen Mi felt a sudden shock in their hearts, and fell to their knees almost instinctively, with a look of panic on their faces and shouted: "His Royal Highness, what is the guilt of your subordinates, I don't know!"

Although there is a faint guess in their hearts that it is very likely that they and Zhang Xiaochun surrendered to the Jinren together, but if they can resist to the end, they must resist to the end, at least they do not intend to admit it without conclusive evidence.

Chu Yi tapped the table lightly, glanced at a few people lightly, and said, "It seems that a few of you really won't shed tears without seeing the coffin."

Wang Zhengli said with an aggrieved look: "His Royal Highness, I am loyal to Da Song, I really don't know why Your Highness framed me..."

Wang Bin, who was beside him, looked at Chu Yi with a surprised look, then looked at the aggrieved appearance of Wang Zhengli and the others, opened his mouth and said, "Your Highness, Wang Zhengli and the others were threatened by Zhang Xiaochun before, so they had to pretend to obey. , and then when he got the chance, he killed Zhang Xiaochun to put things right, and this should be reported to Your Majesty, please reward him!"

At this time, Yang Zhi, who was standing on the side, jumped out in disgust, looked at Wang Zhengli and the others with a look of contempt, and said, "Everyone is really falling on the wind, if Yang remembers correctly, it was not long ago. In this hall, how did you and Zhang Xiaochun decide to surrender to the Jinren, how did you plan to plot against General Wang Zhi, and then how did you force Zhang Xiaochun to death, and put all the blame on Zhang Xiaochun alone? Forget it?"

Wang Zhengli and the others changed their expressions slightly and stared at Yang Zhi, and they heard Wang Zhengli grit his teeth and say, "Blood-mouthed, this is a crime that I want to add, I can't wait, we have to meet your majesty..."

Chu Yi sighed lightly, looked at Wang Zhengli and said, "What you did is really shameful, even that Zhang Xiaochun is much stronger than you, at least he dares to act, but you are so small. People's actions are really in vain for the officials of the Song Dynasty."

While speaking, Chu Yi said to Yang Zhi: "Bring Wanyan Yinshu, but this king wants to convince them."

Hearing Chu Yi's words, Wang Zhengli and the others felt like they were struck by lightning. A dozen of them seemed to have lost their souls. Suddenly, one of them crawled out with a wailing, lying on the ground and kowtowed to Chu Yi non-stop: "Your Highness forgives my sins, Your Highness forgives my sins, I waited wrongly, I waited wrongly, please forgive me for waiting for a while, for the sake of not making a big mistake in my waiting..."

Wang Zhengli and Chen Mi, who were still trying to hold on, collapsed to the ground like deflated balls.

Even Wang Bin on the side was dumbfounded. Looking at Wang Zhengli who was slumped on the ground, and then looking at the official who was lying on the ground and wailing, Wang Bin couldn't help subconsciously pointing at Wang Zhengli and the others, but for a while. In between, he didn't know what to say.

Lu Shinang stepped forward, sneered, looked away from several people and said to Chu Yi: "Your Highness, in Lu's opinion, these shameless and shameless people should be killed as an example, otherwise they will not be enough to shock the world."

To tell the truth, the people present really looked down on Wang Zhengli and others. It is true that the actions of these people are too trivial. If they go all the way to the dark, that's fine. However, these people He killed Zhang Xiaochun and put all the blame on Zhang Xiaochun, but he seemed to have nothing to do, just thinking about it makes people scorn.

Especially the temperaments of people like Luda and Wu Song, if they hadn't suppressed the anger in their hearts, they might have slapped these people to death with a single slap.

Chu Yi waved his hand and said lightly: "Take it down, interrogate it, and submit the case file to the capital, choose a day to be executed."

With a thud, Wang Zhengli and the others rolled their eyes one by one, and they were so frightened that they fainted.

When these people were taken away, the lower-level officials who were waiting in the courtyard outside the hall looked at each other one by one when they saw Wang Zhengli and others being dragged out by the soldiers, but the news spread quickly, and all these officials heard it. It was a big shock, obviously I didn't expect so many things to happen in just one night.

In just one short day, the Jinren Camp was broken, and the news that Zhang Xiaochun and others wanted to surrender Dajin and was captured spread throughout Taiyuan, and the people were excited, especially when they learned that the current Song Wang Chuyi personally led When the army came, the people who had become anxious because of the arrival of the golden man were relieved a lot at once.

At this moment, Chu Yi is playing against the same person. If anyone sees it, they will be very surprised, because this person is none other than the captured Jinren West Route Army commander, Wanyan Zonghan.

On an incomparably spacious carriage, Chu Yi and Wanyan Zonghan sat opposite each other, and in front of the two was a chessboard, and the two slowly moved.

Chu Yi fell down and said lightly: "Nianhan, your heart is messed up!"

Wanyan Zonghan also took a deep breath when he heard the words, dropped a chess piece, looked up at Chu Yi, who was sitting in front of him with a calm and good temperament, and said slowly: "You really are not afraid that you will never look back after this one. the way?"

Chu Yi chuckled and said, "Your Excellency will not think that with the strength of Dajin, you can leave Chu's troops behind."

Nianhan stared at Chu Yi and said, "Although it is said that His Royal Highness King Song has strong men like clouds, but if I do my best, I might be able to inflict heavy damage on His Highness. If the loss is heavy, I am afraid that when you return to the Song Kingdom, you will be trapped in a cage."

Facing Nianhan's threat, Chu Yi just smiled and said: "If Chu really suffers heavy losses, Zhao Gou will indeed attack Chu, but it's just a mere amount of money, and it won't hurt Chu... "

"You...you're so arrogant!"

Nianhan obviously did not expect Chu Yi to be so confident. To be honest, Nianhan originally thought that Chu Yi would take a few of them to negotiate with Dajin. As a result, Chu Yi gained both benefits and a great reputation. Returning to the capital with this great victory is what Chu Yi wanted to do to change the dynasty. I am afraid that he will not suffer too much resistance.

With Nianhan's intelligence, he thinks that if he is in Chu Yi's position, even if he does not have the ambition to usurp the throne, and does not intend to exchange a few of them with Dajin, he will rest in Taiyuan City for a while. Then it is necessary to collect troops and bring the army to the north.

But beyond everyone's expectations, Chu Yi only stayed in Taiyuan for a day, and supplemented the food supply. Tens of thousands of troops actually vowed to go to the Northern Expedition. You must know that when Nianhan heard the news of Chu Yi's vow to go to the Northern Expedition, the whole person was completely All stopped.

The Great Song Northern Expedition to the Land of Yanyun was not once or twice. Each time, the whole country was devoted to it, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were used. The preparation time alone was not a year or two. In such a comparison, it seems that Chu Yi's so-called northern expedition is so sloppy, it gives people the feeling that he is playing at home.

Looking at Chu Yi sitting across from him, I don't know why Nianhan suddenly felt a feeling that he couldn't see through Chu Yi, but what Chu Yi did was unexpected.

Ignoring Wanyan Zonghan's weird look at him, Chu Yi fell down and said, "Your Excellency has lost!"

Eight hundred and eighty-fourth chapter yellow robes also follow

The capital of Jin State, since Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguda passed away, Jin State has been controlled by Wanyan Sheng, Wanyan Sheng is his Chinese name, and his real name is Wu Qimai, and he is the second emperor of Dajin, Jin Taizong.

This time, Dajin's two-way southward movement was carried out under the impetus of Jin Taizong Wu Qimai. It can be said that Wu Qimai was the biggest supporter of Dajin's southward movement.

Whether it is Wanyan Zonghan or Wanyan Buligan, they are all military generals that Wu Qimai relies on. Wu Qimai has no doubts about their abilities. Which one didn't grow up in a bloody battle.

After the two armies went south, Wu Qimai didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, he focused on winning the hearts of the Liao people and the Han people in the north. With Yelu Dashi outside, and the fact that the Liao land was mostly Liao and Han people, it was naturally chaotic after the war, and it really took a lot of thought to completely occupy this land.

Wu Qimai was handling government affairs that day until nightfall, and the hall was quiet, even the attendants serving on the side did not dare to disturb Wu Qimai.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and I saw a figure striding forward in armor. It was a great general in the Jinren clan, Wanyan Zongwang.

Wanyan Zongwang was Wu Qimai's nephew, with a high position and authority, so he could naturally come to meet Wu Qimai without notice.

Frowning slightly, Wu Qimai raised his head to look at Wanyan Zongwang, but he didn't vent his displeasure.

Putting down the imperial pen in his hand, Wu Qimai looked at Wanyan Zongwang and said, "My nephew is up now, but is there something wrong?"

Wanyan Zongwang paid Wu Qi a gift and said, "Zongwang has seen His Majesty, but Zongwang is here because he has urgent military information to inform His Majesty."

Wu Qimai said in surprise: "Oh? Could it be that Yelu Dashi led the remnants of the Liao Kingdom to kill and come back, or is there another Liao people rebelling?"

Don't look at the fact that the Jin Kingdom occupied the Liao Kingdom, but because the new occupation did not take long, there were turmoils in various places from time to time. However, these turmoils were large and small, and most of them were suppressed by the Jin army in various places. Generally, they will not be alarmed. It was bought by Wu Qi, the emperor.

Now that Wanyan Zongwang came in person, it was obvious that the matter was not trivial, and Wu Qimai was quite curious as to where the trouble happened this time.

Wanyan Zongwang shook his head and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, this time, it's not that there is trouble elsewhere, but that there is a problem with Brother Zonghan."

Wu Qimai couldn't help frowning when he heard the words, and said a little surprised: "What? You said that Nianhan encountered some trouble when he went south?"

Don't look at Wu Qimai's disregard for the two armies that went south to the Song Dynasty, but Wu Qimai knew very well the strength of the two armies.

It is precisely because he understands how strong the two armies are that Wu Qimai is so relieved, no matter what.

In the end, Wanyan Zongwang was telling him that Wanyan Zonghan, who seemed to him that there would be no problem at all, was in trouble along the way.

Wanyan Zongwang nodded and said, "According to the Kuai Ma newspaper, brother Zong Han met Chu Yi, a powerful minister of the Song Dynasty, at the foot of the city of Taiyuan, and was defeated in the first battle. Only Lou Shi saw that the opportunity was not good and led some of the troops to flee, while the rest waited. All fell into the hands of the Song people."

With a thud, Wu Qimai stood up suddenly after listening to what Yan Zongwang said, so that the table in front of him was knocked to the ground by him.

Wu Qimai's face was full of shock, as if he had heard something unbelievable. It was no wonder Wu Qimai, you must know that Wanyan Zonghan had four or five gods and strong men along the way. Even in the battle to destroy Daliao, there was no trouble.

But at this moment, he is actually planted on the land of Song Dynasty. Could it be that the appearance of Song Dynasty's weakness for so many years is false? Otherwise, why can Da Liao be able to suppress the bullying of Song Kejin and change them Kim is another result.

Ignoring the memorandum that turned over the floor, Wu Qimai looked at Wanyan Zongwang and said, "What the hell is going on, tell me in detail."

Wanyan Zongwang told Wu Qimai the news that Wanyan Loushi had sent to him, and Wu Qimai had gradually calmed down.

How difficult is their road to the rise of Dajin, and what kind of predicament they have never encountered. Although this time Wanyan Zonghan's defeat is very shocking, Wu Qimai is still not panicking.

Those who can become kings are obviously not ordinary people, let alone in such a big environment as Dajin, if Wu Qimai were ordinary people, I am afraid that it would not be possible for him to succeed in becoming Dajin after Wanyan Aguda. The second emperor.

Wu Qimai took a deep breath and looked at Wanyan Zongwang and said, "Send a messenger to the Song Dynasty immediately, I want to know what the emperor of the Song Dynasty means, if possible, I must do everything possible to exchange Wanyan Zonghan and the others for me. ."

But soon Wu Qimai said again: "Besides this, I also sent messengers to see that Song King Chu Yi. In my opinion, now the real power in the Song Dynasty is not the emperor Zhao Gou, but this Song King, sticky. The life and death of Han and the others are only in the hands of Chu Yi. In any case, Chu Yi and Zhao Gou both sent messengers to go, and I am not afraid to pay the price, provided that Nianhan and the others are brought to me safely return."

For Wu Qimai's decision, Wanyan Zongwang did not find it strange, and he could even say that it would be strange if Wu Qimai did not make the decision.

Wanyan Zong looked at Wu Qimai and bowed his hands, "I'll go down and make arrangements."

It didn't take long for the two teams of envoys to emerge from the capital of the Jin Kingdom and head south.

But three days later, a team of fast horses rushed into the capital, and Wu Qimai, who was convening ministers to discuss politics in the hall, saw a servant hurried over and whispered a few words in his ear.

There was a bit of stunned expression on Wu Qimai's face, obviously the news conveyed by the servant made him very surprised.

A group of civil and military officials in the hall naturally noticed the change in Wu Qimai's expression. At this moment, Wanyan Zongwang and the others looked at each other and saw Wanyan Zongwang stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what happened?"

Wu Qimai didn't hide the intentions of the crowd, he smiled slightly and said, "It's just an urgent military report for eight hundred miles. That Song King Song of the Song Kingdom was so arrogant that he led the army to conquer the land of Yanyun."

Everyone present was surprised when they heard the words, because for hundreds of years, the land of Yanyun had been in the hands of the Liao people. Later, the Liao people were destroyed, and naturally the land of Yanyun fell into the hands of their golden people. .

Jin people also attached great importance to the land of Yanyun, and even dispatched Wanyan Xi, a famous clan general, to supervise the military and politics of the land of Yanyun.

In order to prevent the loss of the land of Yanyun, the Jinren stationed [-] elite troops in the land of Yanyun. Among them, there are tens of thousands of Jinren elite soldiers. It can be said that there are so many people, even if it is the Song Dynasty. Sending [-] troops may not be able to win the land of Yanyun.

However, regarding the name of Chu Yi, if the senior officials of the Jin Kingdom did not take him too seriously, but regarded him as a high-ranking official, then with the precedent of Wanyan Zonghan and others being defeated by Chu Yi, everyone dared not There is the slightest carelessness.

Wanyan Zongwang said with a worried look on his face: "Your Majesty, if that Chu Yi really went north to the land of Yanyun, we should deal with it carefully, otherwise, the land of Yanyun may really be destroyed by that Chu Yi. Take it back."

At this moment, a clan stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Zongwang is too unreasonable to worry about the sky, so what ability does Chu Yi have to be able to retake the land of Yanyun, don't forget, Wanyanxi will not lose his position in Yanyun, In addition, I am an elite teacher of great gold and a hundred battles, and I am afraid that I will not even be able to enter the land of Yanyun."

Ignoring this clan, Wanyan Zongwang just looked at Wu Qimai, Wu Qimai had a dignified expression on his face, waved his hand to signal the clan to shut up, and then said, "Send someone to inform Lou Shi immediately. , ordered him to lead his army to the land of Yanyun, join forces with Xi, and jointly guard the land of Yanyun."

It seemed that he was still worried about Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Xi not losing their two troops to sit in Yanyun. Wu Qimai glanced at the crowd of civil and military officials, and finally his eyes fell on Wanyan Zongwang and said: "Zongwang Hope, you will supervise another fifty thousand soldiers, go to the land of Yanyun, and be sure to protect the land of Yanyun for me."

The land of Yanyun is not only of extraordinary significance to the Great Song Dynasty, but also of great significance to Dajin. You must know that later, Dajin moved the capital to Beiping, and Beiping is located in the land of Yanyun, which means that the Great Jin Dynasty is located in the land of Yanyun. Jin's future capital is in the land of Yanyun, so it is impossible for Jin people to abandon the land of Yanyun casually.
