Chapter 563: Emergencies on all fronts
Ten days after Zhao Kuangyin's army left the capital, Li Zhongyi, who had been staying in Kaifeng City, was supervised by Cao Yong, who was supervised by Cao Yong.
Cao Yong impeached Li Zhongyi, arrogant and arrogant, holding the army to self-respect, and asked the imperial court to deal with it strictly.
Due to the ventilated news from the palace, Li Zhongyi quickly got a copy of the bullet seal, and the matter was obvious, Fan Zhen lost his patience with Li Zhongyi's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and instigated the doorman to plan to drive Li Zhongyi out of the capital as soon as possible.
The few new weapons that Li Zhongyi needed were still on the side of the Third Division's case, and at this juncture, it was naturally impossible for him to leave Beijing immediately.
Fan Zhen is now forcing Li Zhongyi to leave the capital, the purpose is obvious, that is, he wants to take advantage of the time difference between the generals to leave the capital to ruthlessly rectify the officialdom of the imperial court and turn it into a hall of Fan Xianggong's words.
Li Zhongyi didn't really want to wrestle with Fan Qian, but if he wanted to deal with the sailors of the Southern Tang Dynasty smoothly, the new weapons in the Sansi case were indispensable.
After Cao Yong's bullet seal was handed into the palace, Empress Dowager Fu issued an edict to reprimand Li Zhongyi the next day, and the wording in the decree was extremely harsh, with the intention of alluding to Li Zhongyi's misdeeds.
Li Zhongyi was not surprised at all by Empress Dowager Fu's strict attitude, Cao Yong was just a small supervisor of the imperial history, if there was no support from a strong person, he would not dare to attack Li Zhongyi, one of the eight prime ministers of the dynasty, if he borrowed his eight hundred courages.
Since Fan Zhen and Empress Dowager Fu jointly attacked, Li Zhongyi wrote a sincere self-defense chapter that night, which meant that the Southern Tang Dynasty Naval Division was extremely powerful, and it was under the cover of the Yangtze River moat. Those who go south must get new weapons to have a chance of winning.
According to the rules of the imperial court. The important minister was impeached, and he should have taken sick leave as soon as possible. In order to leave room for the imperial court to investigate.
After Li Zhongyi wrote a self-defense, he followed suit, and went on a leave of absence, leaving the opportunity to Fan Zhen and Empress Dowager Fu completely.
After Empress Dowager Fu took the excerpt, she said to Fan Zhi with satisfaction: "Fan Xianggong, it's time to change the commander, right?" ”
Fan Zhen looked at the Empress Dowager Fu, who was not familiar with military affairs, and shook his head secretly, how can it be so simple in military affairs?
Although the Southern Tang Dynasty was in decline. However, Lin Renzhao is by no means an idle person. According to the military newspaper in the south, Lin Renzhao is on the front line of Huaiyang, sharpening his troops and horses, and he may advance north anytime and anywhere.
"Niangniang, although there are many generals in the DPRK, there are only a handful of people who can compete with Lin Renzhao." Fan Zhen naturally couldn't let Li Zhongyi go so easily, and he changed his words. "But it's definitely not Li Zhongyi."
Fan Zhen has always had a thought in his heart, Li Zhongyi is not a reckless person, why did he blatantly commit it this time. What about leaving such a big handle?
"Fan Xianggong, not long after the death of the first emperor, the ministers despised the authority of the imperial court so much. It's tolerable, it's unbearable. "Empress Dowager Fu's resentment towards Li Zhongyi is so deep. Fan Zhen likes it, but also has some worries.
Maybe it's the hesitation of discovering the quality. Empress Dowager Fu said categorically: "And after approving Li Zhongyi's fake, the mourning family wants to see, without him, the so-called famous handsome, can I have no general in Da Zhou to control Lin Renzhao?" ”
Fan Zhen still needs to rely on the full support of the Empress Dowager Fu to completely grasp the affairs of the court, and it is naturally impossible for him to contradict the Empress Dowager Fu's explicit instructions for Li Zhongyi.
"Niangniang Shengming, Weichen leads the order." Fan Zhen also wanted to give Li Zhongyi a little color, and with the anger of the Empress Dowager Fu, he happened to be under the soup and let Li Zhongyi rest.
The Queen Mother and the Prime Minister reached an agreement, and the next thing was not a matter.
In the afternoon of the same day, the decree that Li Zhongyi was allowed to take leave was delivered to Li Zhongyi.
Li Zhongyi accepted the edict and showed a mysterious smile in front of Li Yunxiao.
Li Yunxiao asked Li Zhongyi puzzled: "Master, we are about to lose our military power, why are you laughing?" ”
Li Zhongyi smiled slightly again and said, "Brother Yelu Xiu's plan this time is very big, I am afraid that the Zhao family brothers will not be able to deal with it properly." ”
Li Yunxiao lowered her head, pondered carefully, and suddenly exclaimed: "Little one knows, do you want to go north?" ”
Li Zhongyi touched his chin and said with a smile: "Actually, Fan Zhen didn't want me to lead the troops to the battle, so he deliberately ordered people to use weapons and didn't give them." In that case, why don't we go with the flow? ”
Li Yunxiao nodded frequently and said: "When the second elder of the Zhao family is defeated and there is no general to defend in the north, hehe, you are the only one who can turn the tide." ”
Li Zhongyi laughed and said: "If I am not mistaken, most of the people who go to the northwest are Yelu Xuan, and those who wander outside Hebei are most likely Yelu Huge." ”
"Master, could it be that Brother Yelu Xiu wants to run a long distance and can't do it?" Li Yunxiao suddenly realized the seriousness of the situation and hurriedly asked Li Zhongyi.
Li Zhongyi nodded and said with a smile: "Brother Yelu Xiu is extremely good at long-range attacks, I'm afraid that the Fu family of the Daimyo Mansion is in trouble!" ”
Li Yunxiao rolled her eyes, thought for a moment, and suddenly laughed softly: "The queen mother's family is in great trouble, and when the time comes, there will be no troops, and the speed of the troops depends on your meaning." ”
Li Zhongyi laughed and said: "There is growth, there is great growth, all these years, you have not followed me in vain." ”
Li Yunxiao showed a sincere smile as usual, and said shyly: "Follow the wise and god-like master, if the little one doesn't grow a little more, I'm afraid I won't even have the opportunity to pull the stirrup." ”
Li Zhongyi raised his hand and patted Li Yunxiao's shoulder, and quipped: "Guangchang's brain is not good, if you fall in love with someone's daughter, just tell me." ”
Li Yunxiao said with a bitter face: "Master, don't make fun of the small ones, if I want to take a concubine, why wait until today?" ”
Li Zhongyi immediately laughed, Li Yunxiao, this kid, don't look at the use of brave martial arts, loyalty, but he has the bad problem of "strict wife control".
However, Li Yunxiao's single-mindedness did make Li Zhongyi feel a little ashamed. Compared with Li Yunxiao, Li Zhongyi is a prodigal son who can't spend anymore.
Before the main wife passed the door, she had already accepted several concubines, and in the foreseeable future, in Li Zhongyi's backyard, there must be a few more outstanding five generations.
First of all, Li Zhongyi's original wife, Xiao Zhouhou, must not be let go. If he can have the opportunity to snatch the queen of Da Zhou into his arms, Li Zhongyi will definitely be more satisfied.
On the morning of the fifth day of Li Zhongyi's vacation, bad news came from the north one after another, first of all, Zhao Lao Er suffered a small defeat in the northwest, and the whole army was besieged near Shengzhou by the Khitan iron cavalry of Yelu.
Secondly, and even worse news, the Bazhou that the first emperor captured from the Khitans was actually lost to Yelu Hugo overnight.
In this way, the northern border of the entire Great Zhou Empire turned out to be in an emergency! (To be continued.) )
