Chapter 78: Don’t believe it
Lin'an
"Prime Minister Qin, there is news coming from the north."
At this time, Wang Lun no longer had the same high spirits as before. The recent events in Lin'an really shocked him.
Everyone thought that this was just a simple battle for the throne, but they didn't expect that it would turn bloody in the end. No one thought that the prince would actually dare to kill the minister without permission, and would actually ignore it.
When the ministers of the Zhuhe faction wanted to give Zhao Yuan a hard blow to feel the power of the scholar-bureaucrat, they received the news that Liu Chan had not died in the battle.
So they stopped firing. They couldn't really fight with the imperial army with real swords and guns, so they panicked.
They are just civil servants, so there is no need to use the knife. Anyway, when His Majesty comes back, Zhao Yuan will definitely be dealt with. As for them, since they are not dead, they can just lie down. But one thing is very clear, everyone understands that Zhao Yuan must not
Become a prince again.
Otherwise, if they really wait until Zhao Yuan succeeds to the throne, they still don’t know what is waiting for them.
Now the ministers of the peace faction have been killed by Zhao Yuan, and their power has been greatly damaged. Although there are still a few alive, they cannot withstand the pressure of the war faction at all.
Fortunately, Qin Hui is still in charge of the situation, so the peace faction still has some room for survival.
It is said that it was only after Qin Hui begged the prince that Zhao Yuan let go of the other ministers of the Zhuhe faction. Now these ministers are waiting for Liu Chan to arrive and for Liu Chan to uphold justice for them.
Wang Lun admired Qin Hui from the bottom of his heart. Even when Zhang Jun was killed by the prince, he was still able to act as the right minister of the court and protect his cronies.
It’s really not easy!
Qin Hui took the letter from Wang Lun and looked very shocked after reading it.
"What happened?"
"Your Majesty went to the front line in person, captured Jin Wushu alive, killed 90,000 Jin soldiers, and recaptured Bianliang. In this battle, all the elite iron pagodas of the Jin Kingdom were wiped out, and only a few kidnapper horses escaped back to the Jin Kingdom."
"What."
Wang Lun almost bit his tongue. Are you sure you read it correctly?
"Hurry and invite Prime Minister Zhao and the Crown Prince to come."
After Qin Hui finished speaking, he stared blankly at the battle report, feeling that the world suddenly became different. It seemed that it was the first time that he looked at the world so seriously. This was not a dream.
Until Zhao Ding and Zhao Yuan arrived, Qin Hui was still in a state of confusion.
"Prime Minister Qin, please tell me what is going on in the north."
Prince Zhao Yuan still couldn't forget Qin Hui's treachery. It was clearly Qin Hui who wanted him to kill his lord and officials, but in the end, he became an evil force, while Qin Hui turned into the bright image that everyone expected.
Therefore, Zhao Yuan was very afraid of Qin Hui and became much more polite in his speech.
"oh."
Qin Hui reacted and said calmly: "The north is victorious."
Finished?
That's it!
Then what?
"How is your Majesty?"
"very good."
"What do you mean very good?"
"It's just very good."
Zhao Ding and Zhao Yuan were so anxious that they couldn't help but want to beat Qin Hui.
It was so infuriating that they almost cried.
Zhao Yuan took a deep breath: "Where are our troops now?"
"Bianliang."
"Bianliang has been captured!"
Zhao Ding exclaimed and said in disbelief.
"Captured."
At this time, Qin Hui seemed to be a machine. There was almost no change in tone or tone. It was clear that he had not yet reacted to the battle report.
Zhao Ding glanced at Zhao Yuan and motioned for him to continue asking. Otherwise, Zhao Ding couldn't guarantee that he would not be able to resist beating Qin Hui.
"Where is the Jin Army? Where are the 100,000 Jin Army now?"
"Your Majesty killed 90,000 soldiers, and only less than 10,000 remaining soldiers fled back to the Kingdom of Jin."
"hiss."
The two of them took a deep breath at the same time, how cruel.
Liu Chan destroyed 90,000 of the 100,000 gold army. This was a great victory.
This Northern Expedition can be said to be an unprecedented victory since Zhao Gou came to the throne in the Song Dynasty, no, or it may be said to be an unprecedented victory since the founding of the Song Dynasty.
"Where's Jin Wushu?"
"Captured alive by His Majesty."
"Where's the Iron Buddha?"
"They were all wiped out by His Majesty."
"Then what is my father doing now?"
"Recover Puppet Qi."
Zhao Yuan wanted to ask more, but was stopped by Zhao Ding. He felt very shocked just now, and subconsciously ignored some of the questions in Qin Hui's words. What does it mean to be captured alive by His Majesty, or to be completely destroyed by His Majesty?
This kind of battle report should not say that he was captured alive by Yue Fei and completely destroyed by Han Shizhong. Why did he become your majesty?
After Zhao Ding reminded him, Zhao Yuan also responded.
Yes, no problem.
"You said it was the Jinwu technique that my father captured alive?"
At this time, Qin Hui finally woke up from the unreality. Anyone who saw Zhao Gou being so fierce would doubt his life.
"Well, His Majesty led the 5,000-backed Wei army to fight in a bloody battle with Jin Wushu's 40,000-strong army, and wiped out all the Jin army. Even Tiefutu and Guaizima were almost completely wiped out in that battle."
"Are you kidding? This battle report can't be fake, right?"
It was beyond Zhao Ding's imagination that Zhao Gou could firmly support the main battle. Now you actually tell me that His Majesty only led 5,000 cavalry and dared to fight Jin Wushu's 40,000 elite soldiers in a bloody battle.
I wouldn't even dare to write this in a novel, but you, the right-hand minister of the imperial court, actually dare to fool me like this.
I am the left prime minister, your immediate boss.
"That's not all. The battle report also said that His Majesty fought against the Jin generals in front of the Jin army formation and killed two Jin generals in a row."
"puff."
Zhao Ding almost spit out his saliva, but no one cared about his gaffe.
"This battle report must be fake. There is no need to read it. I know His Majesty's skills and will never do this."
Zhao Ding waved his hand, expressing doubts about the battle report sent.
"Then, the officials on the road must be in danger, but the enemy did this just to send this false battle report? What are their intentions?"
Zhao Ding had already concluded that this battle report was false and began to analyze Jin's conspiracy.
"Mr. Zhao, please wake up. The battle report above has a preface specifically for our army. It cannot be fake."
"Could it be that the Kingdom of Jin wants to induce us to send troops, but why should we send troops?"
Zhao Ding didn't hear what Qin Hui said at all and continued his analysis.
"Prime Minister Zhao, Prime Minister Zhao."
Qin Hui roared twice in Zhao Ding's ear before interrupting Zhao Ding's thoughts.
"What are you doing? I'm about to analyze Jin Guo's conspiracy. You interrupted me. Do you know how troublesome it will be for me to analyze it again?"
"Prime Minister Zhao, this battle report is true."
Qin Hui sighed helplessly. He didn't expect Zhao Ding to have such an expression, which was no better than what he had just now.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible."
Zhao Ding expressed that he was not willing to accept this fact at all. If it was so easy to fight against the Jin Kingdom, then the previous generals of the Song Army would be idiots.
