Chapter 1377

Bianjing is probably the most prosperous city in the world.

Even the people of Chang'an can only laugh at the small and cramped palace in Bianjing. But in terms of wealth and prosperity, even Chang'an cannot catch up.

"Zhang Erjia's Erchen soup is fresh!" "Masijia's cooking cakes, malt sugar cooking cakes!" "Facial washing water, hot facial washing water." "Toothbrush, toothbrush made of fine horsetail hair."

"We will prepare the banquet and serve you at your door. Just pay for it and leave the rest to us!"

"The clothes will be measured at your door and they will fit you. In the early morning, the city of Bianjing will be bustling with activity.

The streets are crowded with people, and there are small businessmen everywhere carrying baskets, baskets, and burdens hawking.

In the stalls and shops on both sides, the waiters were very busy, and the shopkeepers also came out to help, shouting while doing transactions.

Everyone is very focused. "This is so happy!"

Peng Jing, dressed in plain clothes, stood at the edge and looked at the fireworks in front of him.

Fang Chong sighed: "Your Majesty wants to recall Sun Shi. Is this to suppress us?"

"Sun Shi has been gone for several years. Logically speaking, it's their turn." Peng Jing said quietly: "Moreover, Shi Zhong was defeated in Tang Dynasty, and the power of King Qin increased greatly. He will definitely go south next."

The two were silent for a moment, and the noise in their ears became more and more noisy.

"How long does Prime Minister Peng think Shi Zhongtang can hold off?" Fang Chong asked.

"It's hard to say." Peng Jing clasped his hands in front of his lower abdomen, and his slightly raised lower abdomen looked quite prosperous, "Shi Zhongtang is deeply rooted in the south, but the Northern Xinjiang Army is far away from its home base, and it is not easy to supply soldiers, food and grass.

"We still have to wait and see for this battle. However, our recruitment of new soldiers has been completed and we are now training. Han Bi said it looks quite good." When Han Bi was mentioned, Fang Chong looked disgusted.

Recently, Han Bi was still disgusted with him in the court. If nothing else, he would use the failure of the Northern Expedition to hit him.

He wanted to fight back, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Han Bi said: "A defeated general also dares to speak bravely?"

Then, Fang Chong could only retreat.

Fang Chong, the old dog, swore that he would make Han Bi look good if he found the opportunity. "They will naturally look good protecting their homeland." Peng Jing knew that the Northern Expedition was Fang Chong's pain.

Silence fell between the two of them again. The name Sun Shi, which gave them a headache, was tumbling in their minds, but they didn't want to say it out.

"Hu Cake, Hu Cake from Chang'an!"

A hawker came to the two of them carrying a bamboo basket and opened the white cloth covering it. Inside was steaming hot biscuits. The vendor smiled at the two of them, "Here are the mutton biscuits!"

Fang Chong frowned and waved his hand, and the vendor left with regret.

"Your Majesty has disappointed us by recalling Sun Shi." Peng Jing said calmly, but his clenched fists made it difficult to conceal his agitated mood.

"I know that this is because Your Majesty is still worried about my defeat in the last Northern Expedition. The world is currently in chaos, and the Zhou Dynasty must prepare for a rainy day. Therefore, Your Majesty wants to use the more staunch Sun Shi to coordinate all this."

Fang Chong lowered his head slightly, his eyes cold, "But why are we fighting?" "What do you mean by this?" Peng Jing's eyes became brighter.

Fang Chong looked sideways at him, "Your Majesty is only worried about two things. First, Shi Zhongtang in southern Xinjiang attacks our country, Dazhou, in order to obtain population, money and food. This is the most dangerous. Second, if the army in northern Xinjiang is destroyed,

After leaving Shi Zhongtang, will we continue southward?

"Let's talk about the second possibility first. The current situation in the Tang Dynasty is actually a bit chaotic. Shi Zhong Tang Panju lives in southern Xinjiang. It will not take one day to destroy him. Even if he is destroyed, the south still has to be cleaned up.

Li Mi fled to Shu. Shu was easy to defend but difficult to attack. The King of Qin had to come and attack in person, so that he could live up to his reputation as a rebel.

Furthermore, over the past hundreds of years, there have been many internal conflicts in the Tang Dynasty. The powerful and powerful people were quite dissatisfied with the King of Qin, especially those in Guanzhong, who hated the King of Qin deeply.

It is said that before fighting against foreign forces, one must first settle the internal affairs. Given the current situation of the Tang Dynasty, might the King of Qin be distracted from attacking our country, the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

Peng Jing stroked his beard and smiled, "Let's talk about the first possibility. After Shi Zhongtang returned, his first priority was to recruit troops and collect money and food to deal with King Qin's attack. If he attacked the Zhou Dynasty, he could only

a possibility"

"No money." "Yes." That poor guy!

A sense of superiority made Peng and Jing look with contempt in their eyes.

"He made a fortune this time!" Peng Jing said faintly: "The Southern Xinjiang Army along the way can be called a bandit army. They burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil. They stole a lot of money and food."

"But the war continues, and countless money and food are consumed." Peng Jing said, "What do you mean?"

"The King of Qin wanted to clean up the country and suppress the carnivores. If the southern border was unrest, it would be a drag on him."

"But he must destroy the rebels."

"Yes. So, what if someone reaches out to help?" Peng Jing looked at Fang Chong, "You mean joining forces?"

"Why not?" Fang Chong said with a smile: "The King of Qin wanted to destroy Shi Zhongtang to avoid future troubles. On Monday, he wanted to destroy Shi Zhongtang to avoid future troubles. There is no conflict between the two. In this way, when we reach out

Could it be that King Qin will slap our hands back?"

"This can also show favor to the King of Qin!" Peng Jing was a little excited.

"That's right!" Fang Chong said quite contentedly: "Just show your kindness to King Qin and wait for King Qin to return to Chang'an. What will happen next will make him very anxious. Dazhou is dormant and waiting again."

Peng Jing sighed, and Fang Chong asked: "But it's inappropriate?" "You shouldn't lead the army."

Fang Chong's face turned red. "You should plan in the temple. This is the highest compliment.

Fang Chong smiled, "Everything is for Sun Shi!" "Enter the palace!"

"good."

The two men immediately entered the palace to see Nian Xu.

"Joining forces with King Qin?"

Although Sun Shi was idle, he never went to the office and stayed at home every day. At first he was depressed, but gradually he recovered from his grief and began to go out.

He doesn't socialize with people when he goes out: he just walks around. He goes home to read and occasionally write poems.

Life is uneventful. If everything remains unchanged, he will slowly dissipate along with his influence.

On this day, he was reading a book at home. The book was from the Tang Dynasty.

The merchants of the Zhou Dynasty traveled to many places. My old friend knew that Sun Shi liked reading, so he asked the merchants to collect many new books and send them to him, including those of the Tang Dynasty.

"Too much depression." Sun Shi shook his head. He was reading a travel note. In the travel notes, there was a faint hint of depression in the author's words.

He looked at the author and saw that he was a declining dignitary. No wonder!

He thought of the situation in Datang.

"No matter who wins or loses, everything will be turned upside down in the end." When the new king takes the throne, the upper echelons will undergo a purge. The old man hibernates or retreats, and the new rich come on stage. Sun Shi thought of himself.

He laughed at himself and said, "I am now in decline. "Alang!"

The servant came in and reported, "A messenger has come from Bianjing." "Oh!"

The messenger turned out to be Xie Yingong. Sun Shi was shocked, "But your Majesty."

Although Nian Xu failed to withstand the old party's counterattack in the end and drove him out of Bianjing, Sun Shi had no resentment.

The relationship between the emperors of the Zhou Dynasty and the scholar-bureaucrats was very complicated. They relied on each other and were wary of each other.

Nian Xu is the only one who can hand over power to his ministers.

Without Nian Xu, there would be no New Deal, and there would be no high-spiritedness of Sun Shi in those years.

"Your Majesty is well." Xie Yingong smiled and said, "Your Majesty ordered us here to invite Prime Minister Sun to return to Bianjing."

"Go back to Bianjing?" Sun Shi was stunned. What were you going back for? Sun Shi was silent.

Sun Shi would definitely refuse to come, and it was Nian Xu's order to inform him of the current situation.

"The King of Qin led the army to fight Shi Zhongtang." Sun Shi suddenly raised his head, his eyes bright. Sure enough!

Xie Yingong continued: "After two days of fighting, the King of Qin personally led the Xuanjia Cavalry into the formation and defeated Shi Zhongtang."

Sun Shi slowly stood up.

"King Wei captured Jiagu Pass and presented it to King Qin immediately." Sun Shi clenched his fists, "The situation has changed."

"That's right, Your Majesty said that Sun Shi must be responsible for such a complicated situation!"

Xie Yingong said with a smile: "Your Majesty has always been concerned about Prime Minister Sun, and you can be said to be looking forward to it!"

Sun Shi almost didn't think about it, "I'm going to clean up."

"There's no rush." ​​Xie Yingong said politely: "If there's anything missing, Prime Minister Sun, just tell me. Your Majesty has given us the right to do it randomly. Just ask for it from the place."

"One person and one horse are enough!"

Sun Shi went to the backyard and told his old wife the news. "You want to go?" The old wife sighed.

"Both Shi Zhongtang and King Qin are coveting Da Zhou. I have to go!" Sun Shi said softly: "Da Lang has gone after all. Don't be too sad."

"Dalang is gone, I am sad, but the living must still live." The old wife looked at him, "I am worried about you."

"Are you worried about me?"

"Bianjing is a whirlpool. His Majesty will only think of you when he is unable to support himself. When he is unable to support himself, how can a minister be able to withstand this great Zhou? You go, I am worried that you will be taken advantage of."

"If you can do something for Dazhou, it doesn't matter if you are used." Sun Shi's eyebrows became more determined. "When you live in this world, you have to do something for the world. I don't disdain you, and I don't want to waste the rest of my life in the countryside."

"Go!"

The old wife got up and said, "I'll wait for you at home." "Aren't you going?" Sun Shi was surprised.

"I'm waiting for you!"

Later, when Sun Shi went out, his old wife looked at his back and said quietly: "Your Majesty seems to be decisive, but he lacks perseverance. Once the New Deal failed, he actually has no courage anymore. You will not be here for a long time." "

The news has begun to spread.

When Sun Shi went out to take a ride, news of the civil war in the Tang Dynasty had begun to spread outside.

"It was the intention of the court." Xie Yingong explained: "Someone in the court suggested that they want to create an atmosphere of common hatred and hatred, so they deliberately informed the people of the results of the war."

"Yes, but the timing is not right." Sun Shi shook his head on the cart, "Let's reveal it bit by bit.

If you say it all at once, the people will become worried.

Sure enough, the expressions of those people were worried.

"Shi Zhongtang is vicious. He suffered a big loss in Guanzhong, and he will definitely come to Dazhou to make amends!"

"Who made us rich!" "We are still weak. "It's Prime Minister Sun!"

Someone saw Sun Shi on the carriage and saluted, "Is Prime Minister Sun going back to Bianjing?"

Sun Shi nodded.

The man covered his forehead and said, "Da Zhou is saved!"

The carriage moved slowly, and the people spontaneously lined up in two rows and looked at Sun Shi. "Prime Minister Sun!"

"Prime Minister Sun!"

Sun Shi had mixed feelings, "I didn't expect that people would still remember me."

After he stepped down, Peng Jing and others took control of the court, and the first thing they did was to abolish the New Deal.

Although the New Deal has many disadvantages, it also has many benefits!

The people have just suffered from the disadvantages and are currently enjoying the benefits of the New Deal. Why the hell have you abolished them all?

There are so many complaints!

Therefore, when Sun Shi appeared, the people cheered, "Sun Xiang!"

When they arrived at the city gate, the sergeant saw it was Sun Shi and couldn't help but said, "If Prime Minister Sun doesn't come out, what will happen to the people in the world?"

The country was in chaos, and external enemies were sharpening their knives. At this critical moment, Sun Shi resolutely entered Bianjing.

Along the way, the people heard the news and were very happy. Before the people arrived, the momentum spread to Bianjing.

When the carriage arrived outside the gate of Bianjing City, a horseman came out to meet him. It was Fang Chong.

Sun Shi slowly stood up on the carriage and looked down at his old rival.

"Why are Prime Minister Sun here?" Fang Chong came over and asked.

"You have made the court a mess, and you have made the people of Great Zhou miserable. I am here to clean up the mess and revive Great Zhou!"

Although he is old, those eyes are still determined.

It is indeed Sun Shi who is as determined as stone!

Even Fang Chong had to admire the tenacity of the old man in front of him. But!

The opponent is the opponent.

"The Great Zhou Dynasty is still peaceful." Fang Chong said: "The New Deal has made the world uneasy. If it happens again, the building will collapse."

"If you hadn't been waiting behind to hinder us, why would the New Deal be like this?" Sun Shi sneered, "Make way!"

He will once again enter the court and govern the Zhou Dynasty. This time, he will not be soft on the old party. "Go back!"

Fang Chong said calmly.

"Yeah!" Sun Shi looked around. Where is Han Bi?

As his most staunch comrade-in-arms, Han Bi should come to greet him at this time!

"Your Majesty ordered me to tell you, come back!"
