Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 222 The Prophet
Looking at the piles of letter paper in front of him, Wang Jien began to despair in his heart.

He once wrote many letters to officials in the court, asking them to help him speak before the emperor and transfer himself back.However, no one was willing to help.It's just futile.

The emperor turned a blind eye completely.

It seems that it is impossible not to change the content of the letter.

Wang Jien gritted his teeth and wrote two more letters, but this time he changed his words from beginning to end.

What was given to the king of Jin was to directly challenge and pay for his life.He brought back all the money he collected in Weizhou and Shuiluo City this time, plus the wealth accumulated in the palace over the years, it was a full 500 million yuan.

"I would like to give it all to the king, and if I take it, the king can ask for a few words in front of the emperor to transfer the old slave back to the capital!"

The letter to Zhao Kuangyin is to write some of the situation I learned here.

"The minister heard that Huang Yuanyi, the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, corrupted military funds, engaged in private fraud, and even robbed the military salary of the border town of Weizhou, so he had a grudge with Gao Taiwei."

"Shuiluo City is still standing firm and unyielding under the auspices of the town's special envoy, but due to insufficient military equipment, it cannot last long. I implore His Majesty to quickly dispatch the army to help..."

After reading this letter, Zhao Kuangyin was greatly shocked.

At the court meeting the next day, all civil and military officials were talking about it.

"I heard that the Northern Han Dynasty brought 30 cavalry to invade Shuiluo City in Weizhou, Song Dynasty."

"Is the Northern Han Dynasty crazy! 30 troops, this is an all-out attack!"

"Oops! I heard that the Zhongwu Army stationed there is only 8 people. With one enemy four, the Zhongwu Army is probably..."

Zhao Dezhao mixed in the crowd, listening east and west, but didn't speak.

The whispers of the ministers were quickly interrupted by Zhao Kuangyin's thunderous fury,
Zhao Kuangyin took out a letter, which was written by Wang Jien. At first, he read it by himself, but the more he read it, the more angry he became, and suddenly he asked sharply, "Huang Yuanyi! Let me ask you, the military salary of the Zhongwu Army on the border of Weizhou, you privately How much was deducted?"

When Huang Yuanyi, Minister of the Ministry of War, heard it, it was as if a thunder had exploded on the top of the sky. He was so shaken by the bombardment that he almost died of fright.

Cold sweat dripped all over his forehead in an instant.

With a plop, he knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty... I dare not!"

"Don't you dare? There are things you dare not do in this world? The Zhongwu Army is a frontier army, and you dare to corrupt Gao Huaide's military salary! What else are you afraid to do!"

According to Wang Jien's letter, Zhao Kuangyin continued to read, "Huang Yuanyi, Minister of the Ministry of War, corrupted military funds, engaged in private fraud, and even corrupted the military salary of the border town of Weizhou, so he had a grudge with Gao Taiwei... Shuiluo City feared Due to insufficient armaments, it cannot last long... This is all a good thing you did!"

Huang Yuanyi trembled, he didn't know who was participating in his book, but it seemed that everyone knew about this little thing about him.

It seems that a catastrophe is imminent today. It is not impossible for the emperor to cut off his own head when he is angry.

Zhao Dezhao thought to himself, looking at it like this, it should be that Wang Jien felt that he might not be able to come back, so he wanted to take a back seat temporarily.

In fact, Wang Ji'en's original intention was to say that the front line of Shuiluo City was short of armaments, and all fire oil, rolling logs and stones would be exhausted.

However, the sergeant still had the will to fight, and Zhao Yuanzuo commanded well, so he hoped that Zhao Kuangyin would read this letter, and he could personally order troops to come to Weizhou for support.

After hearing this, the ministers below began to discuss again, "Since this is the case, Shuiluo City may have fallen into the hands of the enemy now."

"That's right! The front line is far from the capital, even if it's fast, it will take at least a few days."

"That's terrible! 30 Northern Han troops marched straight in..."

Zhao Kuangyin read again, "Fortunately, the town's special envoy is fully prepared and the city's defenses are strong. Shuiluo City is still standing firm and unyielding under the auspices of the town's special envoy..."

Zhao Kuangyin read a few words, regained his energy, and read his heart carefully.

Obviously, he cares more about this part.

After reading this one, I took out another one and read it carefully.

Finally nodded, and handed the letter to the servant beside him.

"Young King Jin is really good!"

"It's better to be educated by King Jin!"

"30 vs. [-]! The opposite side is full of Northern Han cavalry! The special envoy of the town has done a great job this time!"

Listening to everyone's discussion, Zhao Guangyi only felt that he had a special face.

He took a step forward and was about to say a few words of humility.

But the servant took over the letter from Zhao Kuangyin and continued to read it.

This time it was written by Zhao Yuanzuo himself.

The more civil and military ministers listened, the more their faces changed.

It turned out that Zhao Yuanzuo said in his letter that he had fought against the 30 army of the Northern Han Dynasty in Shuiluo City for seven days, with thousands of casualties.Killed and injured more than [-] people on the other side.

Then the topic changed, and he mentioned that the reason why I was able to anticipate the enemy's attack, be fully prepared, and as a rookie who was out of Beijing for the first time, I had the courage to dare to be tough with the Northern Han was entirely because before I left Beijing, Received special training from His Royal Highness Qi Wang.

If it weren't for King Qi's generous teaching in the past few days, I'm afraid that Shuiluo City, and even Weizhou, would have fallen to the enemy.

When the ministers heard this, they realized that this confrontation against the Northern Han Dynasty could actually be said to be the work of Qi Wang Zhao Dezhao.

Without his temporary training, Zhao Yuanzuo would not have established such an honor.

At the end of the letter, he also requested the Holy Emperor and continued to seek advice from the King of Qi on how to make the next decision.

Zhao Guangyi's mood was very complicated when he heard that, he lost his mind for a while, and didn't know how to go down.

The ministers whispered again, "Are these really King Qi's prior instructions?"

"So! His Royal Highness King Qi is not a prophet!"

"You are a real prophet! Don't forget! Before King Xiao Jin guarded the border, King Qi had already said that the Northern Han might be about to invade."

"That's right! I also remember. At that time, everyone had both the main combat faction and the main peace faction, and His Royal Highness King Qi was the main combat faction."

Zhao Kuangyin looked at the discussions among the officials in the palace, and he went through the whole thing again in his mind.

Gradually, he has a clear judgment on the train of thought of his son Zhao Dezhao.

Unexpectedly, at such a young age, Zhao Dezhao was really a genius. With decades of military experience, his judgment was the same as the one he made in his head.

Zhao Kuangyin now also wants to know what kind of thoughts are spinning in his son's head.

But it was King Jin who he yelled.

"What does King Jin think about the matter of the Northern Han Dynasty? Let me tell you."

Zhao Guangyi was startled, his mind was in a mess, and he regained consciousness after hearing Zhao Kuangyin's words.

"Your Majesty! I was stunned just now! I really didn't expect that King Qi and Yuan Zuo had discussed the matter of resisting the enemy in Shuiluo City beforehand. I feel that King Qi's ingenious plan is very thorough, comparable to Zhuge Kongming. In this matter, I still ask the King of Qi to continue to offer advice, and I am willing to bow down.
