Castle Peak Does Not Change [Comprehensive Martial Arts]

I don't know if any courtiers have discovered that Zhao Kuo rarely expresses his thoughts in court.Generally speaking, Zhao Kuo was basically pushed on his head by the courtiers when he had something to do, and then he shouted "retire from the court", and he would not express his opinion on the matter until the next day or a few days.

This kind of thinking is also reflected in the memorials he reviewed. In many cases, Zhao Kuo wrote "read" on the memorials without any extra words, but when the courtiers guessed that he was acting out of his mind, he suddenly and On a certain memorial, "write hard and write quickly", and the words of that review hit the nail on the head, quite sharp, so that the courtiers can't stop thinking about it.

It is precisely because of Zhao Kuo's frequent "convulsions" that the courtiers have no way of grasping his pulse, and even trying to figure out what he wants has become a very difficult thing, just like this time.

Originally, two days had passed since they begged Zhao Kuo to make a decision, but Zhao Kuo was in the Taoist temple during these two days, and even the morning court was avoided.The courtiers were not sure what he was thinking again, Han Xinzhou bought the servant again and asked the servant to watch in the Taoist temple, but this time he still didn't find out why, the emperor was still in the Taoist temple just like before Pure sleep, this time I slept for two full days without eating or drinking.

Han Xinzhou was at a loss again, what kind of medicine is sold in the Taoist temple?Could it be that Zhou Gong was enshrined, so that every time the emperor went to the Taoist temple, he would sleep unshakably?

This is ridiculous.

But then again, after Zhao Kuo slept in the Taoist temple for two days, he came out of the Taoist temple and announced the imperial decree of Quanzhen sect leader Wang Chongyang to enter the palace, and at the same time he was full of energy to start the morning court.

Both the main combat faction and the main peace faction are looking forward to seeing what decision the emperor will make this time.

Zhao Kuo lived up to everyone's expectations and stood on the nine-story imperial steps, and said with a slightly excited expression: "Wanyan Jing is exhausted, and he will soon become the king of subjugation!"

Civil and military officials: "??"

Although Wanyan Jing's doting on the concubine Yuan and her pro-concubine's traitorous sycophants in recent years have caused the Kingdom of Jin to become increasingly decayed, coupled with the occurrence of natural disasters, which have caused the country's power to decline, but it is still not at the point of subjugation anyway.Before the civil and military officials could figure it out, Zhao Kuo said again: "Bewitched by the vixen, in the wine pools and meat forests in the capital, people with lofty ideals rise up, who will perish if he does not perish?"

Civil and military officials: "???"

The vixen and Jiuchi Roulin are easy to talk about, but "people with lofty ideals will rise up"?Your Majesty doesn't mean that the Tata'er tribe rebelled against gold, right?What kind of a man of lofty ideals is this?

And why is the emperor so sure that the Jin Dynasty will perish?They are becoming more and more unpredictable about the emperor's thoughts.

Next, Zhao Kuo's rhetoric made them even worse: "We must reward such ambitious people."

Civil and military officials: "!!!"

Assuming that the "people with lofty ideals" mentioned by the emperor refers to the Tatar tribe, doesn't the award mean that they will support the Tatar tribe and go to attack the Kingdom of Jin?

If this is the case, then they might as well go directly to attack the Kingdom of Jin by themselves!

You must know that the Tataer tribe is also a nomadic people like the Jurchen who established the Jin Kingdom. Like the Jin Kingdom and even the previous Liao Kingdom, they are all alien races with wolfish ambitions.If they go to support, it is tantamount to breeding tigers, even if they think about the best side, it is the same-suppose they are lucky enough to cooperate with the Tata'er Department, deal a heavy blow to the Kingdom of Jin, and then slowly regain the lost ground, but Then what?Didn't the Tatar Department become the second Kingdom of Jin at that time?Then they are just repeating their previous experience, which is even worse than when the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed.

This is still the best situation, but what if the Tata'er Department is not vulnerable at all?

At that time, Jin Guo knew that they were secretly supporting the Tataer tribe. Wouldn't that give Jin Guo an excuse to attack openly?

So, isn't the emperor's idea too whimsical?

At this moment, no matter whether it is the main battle faction or the main peace faction, they do not agree with such an approach, and immediately a minister came out to remonstrate: "I hope the sage thinks twice!"

Zhao Kuo seemed not to have heard, and casually pointed to Han Xinzhou who was standing in front of the civil servants below: "I want to hand over the task of traveling to the Tataer Ministry to Han Xinzhou and Han Aiqing."

Han Xinzhou: "!!"

Han Xinzhou was actually shot while lying down, he didn't do anything at all, and this time he was a member of the main combat faction, although it was useless for him to lead the main battle, the military and political power was not obtained at all.

And after Zhao Kuo finished speaking, the other courtiers all looked sideways at Han Xinzhou, and Han Xinzhou's chest piercing gaze made Han Xinzhou feel depressed: What did I do to me?I didn't do anything ah me!

However, Han Xinzhou can't argue with it now, and many ministers believe that he bewitched Zhao Kuo and made Zhao Kuo make such a short-sighted decision.

Fortunately, Zhao Kuo spoke again: "Han Aiqing, come with me."

This time the gaze on Han Xinzhou was more penetrating.

Han Xinzhou: "..."

Han Xinzhou was more wronged than Dou E, but unfortunately he had no room to resist, so he had to follow Zhao Kuo to the imperial study.When Han Xinzhou was about to kneel in the imperial study room, Zhao Kuo brought three kits out of nowhere, "Han Aiqing, you must have many difficulties in your trip to Tataer Department. Here are three kits for you to take." , When you open them at a critical moment, they will ensure your safe return."

Han Xinzhou's heart was always ups and downs, but now he can't fall to the ground. Is it obvious that the emperor wants him to die? "emperor?"

Zhao Kuo said as if thinking of something: "You can't be Shen Gongbao, right?"

who? ?

When Han Xinzhou came out of the imperial study, he was in a daze. He couldn't imagine how things had developed to this point.In his original plan, he would exclude dissidents after Zhao Kuo ascended the throne. First, Zhao Ruyu, who also contributed, and then the ministers in the court who believed in Neo-Confucianism. Under one person, above ten thousand people.But now?Not only did he not gain power, even Zhao Ruyu is still the prime minister, what's more, now the emperor wants to drive him out of the court and let him go to Tata'er to die!

No, he can't sit still like this.

After Han Xinzhou got home, he began to think about what to do. He sat in the study and thought a lot.There was Jingkang's troubles, Qin Hui and Gaozong framed Yue Fei, killed Yue Fei on trumped-up charges, and used Yue Fei's head as a bargaining chip with Jin Guo, and Jin Guo's cruelty... just thinking about it Han Xinzhou fainted He got up heavily, and when he woke up again, he was already in the carriage.

"Master Han, you are awake."

Han Xinzhou was terrified: "Who are you?"

"I'm Ma Pan who escorted you to the Tataer Department, Mr. Han." Ma Pan was a man in his thirties, holding a big knife in his hand, and when he spoke, he gave Han Xinzhou a smile that he thought was very friendly. , It's a pity that with his beard and fierce appearance, he almost scared Han Xinzhou, who had changed his sky when he woke up, half to death.

Jiang Dong, who was sitting on the shaft of the chariot, rolled his eyes when he heard the commotion inside. He really didn't understand why the master would send out this idiot Ma Pan.Well, what Jiang Dong went to didn't understand was that their Siwang Sect, how could they have anything to do with the imperial court?

If you don't understand, you don't understand, but Jiang Dongqu doesn't want them to mess up the task assigned by Master this time.

In the second year of Qingyuan, the Mongolian Tataer tribe rebelled against the Jin Dynasty, and Wan Yanxiang, the prime minister of the Jin Kingdom, sent troops to crusade.

At the same time, Temujin, the leader of the Mongolian Qiyan tribe who had a feud with the Tataer tribe, united with King Khan of the Kelei tribe, and took the opportunity to attack the Tatar tribe to avenge his vengeance.Unexpectedly, the Tata'er tribe was extremely tenacious, and they still retreated under the attack of the three sides. Not only that, Wan Yanxiang, the prime minister of the Kingdom of Jin, was accidentally killed by the coalition forces of the Kelei tribe and the Qiyan tribe in the fierce battle.

The Kingdom of Jin was furious and sent more troops to attack Mongolia.

This time it was not just the Tataer tribe, but the entire Mongolian tribe.

Although the Mongolian tribes professed their vassals to the Kingdom of Jin in the early years, with the gradual decline of the Kingdom of Jin and the gradual prosperity of the Mongolian tribes, the Mongolian tribes no longer paid tribute to the Kingdom of Jin, and they were no longer satisfied with their current territory, otherwise Tataer The Ministry will not blatantly raise troops against gold.But now the two equally powerful tribes in the Mongolian tribes, the Kelie tribe and the Qiyan tribe, killed the prime minister Wanyanxiang in a fierce battle, which has completely ignited the fuse.

Although Wan Yanjing, Zhangzong of the Jin Dynasty, was lazy in political affairs, the ministers in the court supported them to give a heavy blow to the Mongolian Ministry, so as not to let the Mongolian Ministry rise again and threaten their Jin Kingdom.Coincidentally, most of these ministers were attached to the concubine Yuan, so Zhang Zong listened to it and sent more troops to attack the Mongolian Ministry.

The flames of war ignited.

The following year, Zhao Kuo changed his year name from Qingyuan to Kaixi.

Not long after the rename was changed, Zhao Kuo ordered that the title of King Shen and the posthumous title of "Zhongxian" conferred by Qin Hui after his death be cut off, and the posthumous posthumous title was changed to "Absurd Chou".At the same time, an edict was issued to investigate Qin Hui's crimes of harming the country: "If you let the enemy run for a day, you will worry about it for generations; if you ruin the ruins for a hundred years, who will be responsible for everyone?"

Soon after, Yue Fei was named the king of Hubei, completely rehabilitating this great general who served the country loyally.

Doing so also dealt a powerful blow to the main peace faction, greatly encouraged the main combat faction, and largely won the hearts of the people.

That is, in this year, the Southern Song Dynasty once again made a northern expedition to the Kingdom of Jin.

Before that, the Southern Song Dynasty didn't want to recover the lost land, and it wasn't that there was no Northern Expedition that was successful. Even the time when General Yue led the Yue Family Army to the Northern Expedition, they had already gone all the way to the north and recovered the area south of the Yellow River. Forty-five miles, however, at that time Gaozong sent twelve gold medals in a row to urge Yue Fei's troops to return to Beijing, which ruined that Northern Expedition.After that, there was no Northern Expedition in the Southern Song Dynasty as vigorous as this one.

Now that the Southern Song Dynasty has made another Northern Expedition, many people have already felt the difference this time.

The war between the Kingdom of Jin and the Mongolian tribes has lasted from last year to the present, and the conflict between the two is getting deeper and deeper, and more and more Mongolian tribes are involved in it.

This also caused the flames of war to intensify.

In the final analysis, although the Kingdom of Jin did not have the prosperity it had at the beginning of the founding of the country, the camels were bigger than horses, and the Mongolian tribes were also people on horseback. The country can afford a protracted war.

Under such circumstances, Jin Guo was a little overwhelmed with the Northern Expedition of the Southern Song Dynasty.

But the Kingdom of Jin didn't pay much attention to this Northern Expedition. They knew too well the virtues of the Southern Song Dynasty.This Northern Expedition will definitely be like the previous Northern Expedition. I am afraid that it will end in an anticlimactic manner, and then sign a peace agreement with their Jin Kingdom, and then pay the annual coins further.It just so happened that their battle with the Mongolian tribes left their treasury empty. Someone offered to send money and food, why not do it?

It's a pity that they were disappointed this time.

Just as the Kingdom of Jin didn't expect to be able to fight the Mongolian tribe for so long, they also didn't expect that the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty would be overwhelming from the very beginning.Not only is the army well-equipped, but there are many capable men and strangers among them, the kind of capable men and strangers who can make their army think that they have encountered a "ghost hit the wall" and can't get out at all, and this time they The emperor did not hold back.

That is to say, the previous set is not working anymore, like Zhang Zong Wanyan Jing, he sent "threat letters" as before, and quickly sent them to the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty. Cut it off and send it to Jin Guo.

On the contrary, the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty had a very strong attitude this time and replied to the letter to insult the Kingdom of Jin.

Why do you say it is retaliation?

Because Zhao Kuo wrote: "This is your retribution for blaspheming Nuwa Empress!"

These words are completely inexplicable, but it does not prevent Wan Yanjing from reading Zhao Kuo's insult to him.

This is a great shame!

In any case, Jin Guo is now under attack from both sides.Not to mention the Mongolian tribe that also fought against them, it was Song's Northern Expedition. Because of the right time, place and people, it can be said to be invincible, and the Northern Rebels also responded to the Northern Expedition.

This includes the various sects headed by the Quanzhen Sect and the Beggar Gang in the Central Plains martial arts. In the face of the righteousness of the family and the country, they chose to unite as one.

It is worth mentioning that Wang Chongyang, the leader of Quanzhen Sect, was named a national teacher last year.I don't know if it's because the anti-gold heart has been aroused again, or because the emperor thinks highly of him, miraculously his old disease has been effectively controlled, and his whole person seems to be refreshed.

This time the Central Plains Wulin can unite as one, and Wang Chongyang's many efforts are indispensable.

In addition, Dali also increased its troops to support Song's Northern Expedition.

"Emperor Duan Gaoyi!"

Hong Qi rushed to Kaifeng, and now they have recovered Kaifeng, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, which is self-evident to the encouragement of the Northern Expeditionary Army.After Hong Qi told Wang Chongyang the news, he talked about another matter: "Was the five elements and eight trigrams array outside Yingchang made by Huang Laoxie?"

Wang Chongyang nodded.

Hong Qi smacked his lips: "He's really good at it. He said he doesn't care about the affairs of the world, but he still came here in the end. Let's just say what he meant."

"Island Master Huang understands righteousness, but Gang Master Hong has heard about Master Fengyue?" Wang Chongyang asked.

"You mean little monk? I heard from my Beggar Clan disciple that he is in Qinzhou, isn't he also good at the strange art of armor shielding? It took only two days for Qinzhou to be breached." Hong Qi became curious again after speaking. Come to think of it, how could Wang Chongyang mention Gu Qing so well.

Wang Chongyang didn't say it explicitly, but he was relieved that the Siwang Sect did not have the scene of the fish and meat people he thought he originally thought.

Not only did the members of the Siwang Sect not do harm to the common people, they made great efforts during the Northern Expedition that outsiders did not even know about, just like Ma Pan and Jiang Dongqu who escorted Han Xinxuan earlier, they did not miss Jin The border between the country and the Mongolian tribes is "making waves", and those who light the fire on one side and add firewood to the other will not stop dying if they mess with the two families.

Han Xinzhou was dumbfounded about this at first, but later, as a minister who might have become a powerful minister and a treacherous minister, he poured out all the bad water after being infected, and his skills in fanning the flames were simply perfect.

Ma Pan couldn't help but praised: "Sure enough, it's like what the master said, I'm born with talents that will be useful, and there is always a kung fu that you are good at."

Han Xinzhou: "..."

Although he was praised (if it was really a compliment), Han Xinzhou was not happy at all.

At the same time, Han Xinzhou had a strong curiosity about the "Master" in this group of people. At this time, he was sure that the "Master" was an expert standing behind the emperor, but this group of people spoke so tightly. Unfortunately, he couldn't get any useful information.I only know that the "Master" is not usually deep-minded, and there are many talented people under him. The most important thing is that he has controlled the emperor, made the emperor obey him, and then regained the lost ground all the way, and restored our country...

Thinking of this, Han Xinzhou was once again deeply confused, why didn't everyone play cards according to common sense?

Han Xinzhou was not the only one who was confused, the courtiers in Lin'an were also stunned when they heard the news of success.What the emperor said in the early court last year was considered nonsense, nonsense and crazy talk at the time, and since then, Han Xinzhou has not really been in the court, and the rest seems to have not changed, so Many people think that the emperor just took the opportunity to eradicate Han Xinzhou, but now that the Northern Expedition has been victorious, they have to face up to the emperor's "crazy words" at that time.

Could it be that everything is planned by the emperor?

At this time, the courtiers dared to look at Zhao Kuo, who was sitting on the dragon chair, neither surprised nor pleased with the victory, they only thought that he was the Ziwei star descending to earth, and Yao and Shun were alive.

Little did he know that Zhao Kuo was just dozing off on the dragon chair, probably because he hadn't heard the good news.And Zhao Kuo is really not a Ziwei star descending to earth, he just has such people around him, and Zhao Kuo is strictly speaking a fool with foolish blessings, but as long as Hongfu and silly blessings can make the people warm and full, That is a blessing.

In the second year of Tianxi, the Kingdom of Jin died.
