Li Yun revealed his identity in Lin'an a month ago.
At that time, he was in a street restaurant and persuaded Shi Miyuan to cooperate with Ding Haijun to gain benefits from the crumbling Jin Kingdom. After that meeting, he went from being a guest in the Prime Minister's Palace to being a subordinate of Honglu Temple in charge of dealings.
Under the control of the National Information Service.
He was accompanied by two ambassadors and two officials who accompanied him every step of the way. Although he was respected in daily etiquette and well-paid, his movements were strictly restricted and he could not leave the Banjing mansion at all.
The National Information Institute is nominally affiliated to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In fact, in modern times, all measures have been reviewed and implemented by the Privy Council. Therefore, sheds were quickly erected on the red bank outside the Banjing Pavilion. Li Yun looked from a distance and recognized the people coming in and out.
There are several familiar heads of the Privy Council and ministers.
There might even be important people with the highest level of imperial edict coming to inspect every day. But Li Yun couldn't go out, he couldn't see clearly, and he couldn't find out who the visitor was from the people around him.
A few days after he moved into Banjing Mansion, perhaps Duke Zhou had already launched an army, and the situation in the north was turned upside down. Or perhaps, merchants who were inclined to the Song Dynasty brought back the deeds of some important officials in the north, and the officials heard about Li Yun
From his deeds in the northeastern hinterland, I know that this man is not only good at talking, but he is also a master at killing people without blinking an eye.
So the officials increased the already tight security. On that day, they urgently transferred a loyal, brave and reliable captain from the front department of the palace, and led hundreds of elite soldiers to form two groups of guards, patrolling around Banjing Pavilion day and night.
Even the people responsible for cleaning the building were replaced by strong men. This group of people did not look like soldiers, but maybe the envoys around Prime Minister Shi.
This attitude of respect and extreme vigilance was maintained for a month. Starting from the day before yesterday, suddenly, all the front officials left, the people who cleaned the house were replaced by maids, and the food and wine provided every day were replaced by maids.
When Li Yun appeared as Jia Sidao, he was familiar with the food produced by Taihe House. Maybe it was made by the chef of Taihe House on the spot.
Look at the so many people outside the building at this moment, such a big scene, the front line, rear line, Kong Mu, post department and other officials of the National Information Institute are all lined up behind the fourth row...
This is the team that came to welcome Li Yun to watch the sea waves and visit Tianzhu Temple.
Before Li Yunnan went to the south, those who had done their homework carefully knew that this was the etiquette established by the Song Dynasty during the Shaoxing peace negotiation. Later, Emperor Xiaozong succeeded to the throne, and despite the opposition of Dai Jin, he tried to cut down the etiquette procedures to show his dignity.
, so much so that the two countries fought dozens of quarrels over such boring things as whether to watch the sea waves of Qiantang or visit Tianzhu Temple.
This kind of etiquette that was once canceled has been restored again, and it is so grand, which can only mean one thing. That is, in the past month, the situation in the north has been turned upside down, and Zhou Guogong Guo Ning has taken Kaifeng!
What is behind me, Li Yun, is not just a tiger skin serving as a banner? It is clearly an evil tiger roaring and making wind!
Thinking of this, Li Yun's steps became more and more steady, and he suddenly walked out of the demeanor of an important minister.
Several of the officials who came to receive him at this time had dealt with him. On that day, Li Yun, as Jia Sidao, spent money in Kaifeng and indulged in drinking and sex every day, attracting a group of people. Now, that group
A few of the people could only bow and salute, secretly looking away.
After taking a look at it, I couldn't help but recall how happy it was to take Jia Sidao's money and spend it. And how happy I was at that time, how jealous I feel now.
Some people couldn't help but cursed in a low voice: "It's all Xuan Zhen's fault, Xue Ji and those idiots, and Shi Kuanzhi is also a fool. They were manipulated the whole time!"
In recent years, as the authority of Prime Minister Shi has become more and more assertive, the backlash from the government and the opposition has become more and more fierce. Ordinary scholars flatter and work diligently in front of all the subordinates of Prime Minister Shi, but when they turn around, they scold those few for nothing.
position, and then pointed the finger at Shi Xiang himself.
Anyway, they just come up with great principles and denounce the powerful ministers for being content and careless, sitting back and watching the border people wither and fail to survive, the border soldiers being weak and unable to teach them, and deceiving the superiors and subordinates in vain to consolidate their own power. This has become a habit.
.
What’s interesting is that many of the younger people under Prime Minister Shi’s sect are willing to direct their grievances and complaints towards those few people. Firstly, those few who have gained wealth and honor under the sect of Prime Minister Shi will naturally have to be slandered by the Prime Minister. Secondly,
These old and cowardly people have fallen, and only the rising people will have a chance. But if someone dares to throw dirty water around, the rising people under Prime Minister Shi's sect will also be angry.
Hearing this group of people talking nonsense, an official at the front of the queue looked back eagerly, his eyes almost bursting with fire.
The person who spoke recognized him as Shi Kuanzhi, the eldest son of Shi Xiang, and was accompanied by Shi Songzhi, Shi Xiang's nephew, and others. He was immediately frightened and sweating profusely, and did not dare to say anything.
Shi Songzhi, who was standing next to him, advised in a low voice: "If these people don't have enough status, their knowledge must be shallow. Let's not cause trouble at this time."
Shi Kuanzhi glared at the man fiercely, remembering his appearance and clothing before turning around.
The situation in the North has been turned upside down this time. It is really not caused by Shi Xiang, and Shi Xiang's response was not negligent.
Since Jiading, although the Prime Minister has been reluctant to seek peace with the Jin Kingdom, he has actually taken targeted measures in frontier military affairs. For example, in the construction of military strongholds in the counties along the border, there are Tong, Tai, Gaoyou, Xuyi, and Xing in Huaidong.
Huaixi has Lin, Huang, Shu, Hao, Anfeng, Gushi, Jingxiang has Zaoyang, Hanyang, Sui, Fu and other places. Another example is the construction of an army capable of fighting and the promotion of generals capable of fighting.
All done step by step.
If not for this, when the thirteen captains of the Kaifeng imperial court went south, the borders of the Song Dynasty would have collapsed.
The problem is that Zhou Guogong Guo Ning's trip was really planned for a long time, and he had a careful and interlocking budget. Before launching the plan, they first made great efforts to open up maritime trade and integrate their own interests with the internal affairs of the Song Dynasty.
Countless officials and maritime merchants were tightly bound.
With mountains of money and profits pouring out, even those who originally had serious doubts about Ding Haijun could not let the fat fly away. If Shi Xianggong did not want to be criticized by the government and the public, he had no choice but to stand with Guo Ning.
Department, racking his brains to come up with a reason to join forces with Ding Haijun.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When the Ding Navy suddenly launched, Shi Xianggong did not just sit back and watch. He asked Zhao Fang to lead more than 10,000 elite troops from Jinghu to Kaifeng to fight.
It is with the mission of making decisions at critical moments to maximize benefits for one's own side.
Not only Zhao Fang, but also in Huaidong and Huaixi, the Song Dynasty accelerated the recruitment and recruitment of rebels and the training of new armies; in Sichuan, Prime Minister Shi also sent people to make arrangements, and someone had already contacted Xia on behalf of the Song Dynasty. The country wanted to attack Jin from both sides and divide Qin and Long.
It's a pity that it will take more than half a year or even longer for these actions to really have an effect. This is a habit that the Song Dynasty's political leaders could not change. No matter what they do, they must be continuous and careful, step by step; it may happen in half a while. Changing course, going in the opposite direction...
But the Dinghai navy was different. They lurked as minions and disguised themselves for half a year or a year? But when they launched, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses marched to Kaifeng to fight, followed by hundreds of thousands of oxen, horses and animal-drawn vehicles. , thousands of boats entered the river from the sea... Such a large-scale dispatch, such a fierce fighting, only took one month from launch to victory!
It’s not that the Song Dynasty was not vigilant, it’s not that the Song Dynasty didn’t have a plan to deal with it, and it’s not that the Song Dynasty didn’t want to delay their steps. But what the Song Dynasty could and wanted to do hadn’t really started yet, and the situation in the north had been settled. The remaining power was still there. The Great Jin Kingdom has only its last breath left, and may collapse at any time, and the evil tiger that has stepped over the mountains of Jurchen bones and gnawed at their flesh and blood is already squatting comfortably beside the couch!
This situation was irreversible, and it was immediately used by some mad dogs inside and outside the court as a reason to criticize my father. Therefore, we must immediately discuss a follow-up method to show that the situation is completely under the control of the Song Dynasty, so that my father can gain political power. In an invincible position! Be fast! Be fast!
Shi Kuanzhi took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and watched Li Yun get closer and closer.
The treacherous young man in front of him is the representative of Zhou Guogong Guo Ning.
Ever since the news of Kaifeng's change of hands spread, this person's importance has doubled. Now, there are so many high-status officials gathered together, representing ten times the complexity of political groups and high-ranking aristocrats. Shi Kuan Without looking back, he knew that countless blazing eyes had been cast on Li Yun.
Some eyes are asking: "Can we continue to do business? I have ten more large ships here, all carrying grain from Annan. Do you still want to do it?"
Some eyes were asking: "Your lord has eaten the meat, so he has to leave some bones and residue. Can some of the northern territory be cut off for my meritorious service and promotion?"
Some eyes are asking: "Should the relationship between the two countries remain friendly? Is the smuggling business business as usual? I have built a new private port south of the Huaihe River. It costs a lot of money, so it cannot be wasted!"
Everyone has their own expectations, and the eyes of hundreds of people gathered together, which was even more intense and scary. In front of the eyes of countless people, Shi Kuanzhi puffed up his chest, let out a hearty laugh, opened his arms, and strode forward.
Li Yun was stunned for a moment, then he laughed, lifted up his sleeves and trotted away. The two of them stepped through the dewdrops on the grass blades, and their figures kept getting closer on the lush grass, and finally hugged each other tightly.
"Shi Xian...oh no, brother Li Xian!" Shi Kuanzhi patted Li Yun on the back and shouted enthusiastically in Li Yun's ear: "I haven't seen you for a month, I really want to die as a brother!"
Li Yun's head was leaning against Shi Kuanzhi's, and their cheeks touched from time to time. The weather was too hot and he was a bit sweaty. The two men were too close to each other, which made Li Yun a little uncomfortable. Moreover, he was used to Jia Jia.
When they were having sex in the name of Shi Dao, their status was much different from that of Shi Kuanzhi, but they were not so close to Shi Kuanzhi.
But he immediately noticed that his face was facing hundreds of people who came to greet him, and he was under the concerned gaze of so many people.
Then his face shone with joy. He also patted Shi Kuanzhi on the back, laughed and said, "Brother, I miss you too!"
