Thinking of this, Zhao Tuan couldn't help but smile bitterly. If Yu Gongliang is still alive, his background, ability, and achievements are enough to be comparable to Yang Yan. As long as they are deliberately supported in the future, a situation in which two people stand side by side and restrict each other can be formed in the future court pattern. In that way, Zhao Tuan can also feel at ease, but unfortunately Yu Gongliang died in this expedition, isn't it providence.

Although the Northern Expedition showed a number of young generals, such as Li Gongzuo, Xin Qiji, Bi Zaiyu, and Wu Xi in Sichuan. But compared with Yang Yan, they are much worse.

Li Gongzuo is good at water warfare and is not inferior to his father, but in the future when he fights the Jin State, it is still on land that determines the victory or defeat. Xin Qiji was both civil and military, but the "Nangui people" (referring to those who defected to the Song State from the areas occupied by the Jin State) could not be fully trusted. Bi Zai is brave and good at fighting, but unfortunately his family background and qualifications are much worse.

As for Wu Xi. To be honest, Zhao Tuan was not at ease with him compared to Yang Yan. Back then, Zhao Gou and Qin Hui were able to kill Yue Fei without any means, and they were able to exempt Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun from military power. But there is always nothing to do about Wu Lan, who is sitting in Sichuan and has a heavy army. It was not until after Qin Hui's death that Wu Lan returned to Anqin to see Zhao Gou.

When Zhao Tuan first received Zen, he mistakenly believed Shi Hao's words and ordered Wu Lan to abandon the thirteen states of Qinlong three roads. A subordinate admonished Wu Luan and said: "The general is outside, and the king's order is not subject to it." This move was very important, and he had no choice but to withdraw from the army. ”

Wu Lan said angrily: "Wu Lan doesn't know this, but the Lord is in the new policy, Wu Lan has a heavy army, if he doesn't respect the edict, wouldn't he be without a king?" He quit the division. Later, Yu Yunwen entered the court and abandoned the interests of the land, and Zhao Tuan realized that Shi Hao had misled himself, but he finally let go of Wu Lan.

However, after Wu Luan's death, he returned to Lin'an with Wu Jiu's son Wu Gong, and ordered Yu Yunwen to be the envoy of Sichuan Xuanfu in order to be the commander of the Weibu Military Division, hoping to use Yu Yunwen's prestige and ability to gradually dilute the influence of the Wu family on Sichuan. This time, the Northern Expedition to the west took Kyushu by sending troops from Sichuan, and Wu Xi took five states alone, making great contributions, and Wu Tingzheng asked to resign because of his serious illness. The proposal happened to replace Wu Xi's father. Zhao Tuan was still hesitating. Three generations of the Wu family, from Wu Jiu, Wu Luan, Wu Gong, Wu Ting, to Wu Xi, stationed in Sichuan for nearly 40 years, with deep roots. This is the one that the emperor is most worried about.

Of course, the best way is to prevent it from burning, get rid of Yang Yan, and never suffer in the future. But Zhao Tuan was absolutely unwilling to do this. First, Yang Yan has no intention of rebelling now, on the contrary, judging from his behavior, he is still very loyal to himself; Second, as Zhang Junru said, Yang Yan is indeed a rare general, and if he goes on the Northern Expedition again, he must rely on Yang Yan. You can't get rid of Yang Yan because he might rebel in the future. What's more, Zhao Gou repeatedly warned himself that the matter of killing Yue Fei by mistake must not be done again.

But Zhao Tuan was still extremely uncomfortable in his heart. I always feel like I'm stuck in something. He picked up a fold from the table and read: "The Yang family has three generations, Mu and the Holy Grace, and the illustrious." It is inevitable that he will be sick by others, and Yang Yanshi should not be entrusted with important tasks again. However, Yang Yan's merits are great, and he must not be generous. May Your Majesty be enlightened. "This is the excerpt written by Zeng Ransom, which was sent together with Long Dayuan's excerpt last night, and the content is similar. They all persuaded Zhao Tuan not to appoint Yang Yan to important tasks.

Zhao Tuan sighed softly, in the end, he was a close minister who had followed him for many years, and he really knew his heart very well!

At this moment, a yellow gate official ran in from outside in a panic and said, "Your Majesty, Duke Wei went yesterday night. ”

With a "snap", the fold in Zhao Tuan's hand fell to the ground, and there was a "buzz" in his head, and he almost fainted.

-----------------------------------------------------

Huining Temple is located at the foot of the fluffy mountain twenty miles east of Huiningdi, leaning against the mountain. The temple is quite old, and the red paint on the temple door is peeling off somewhat. The size of the temple is also not large. It is far less magnificent than Shaolin Temple in Shaomu Mountain, Qingliang Temple in Wutai Mountain, or Daxiangguo Temple in Bianliang, Nanjing. There are not many monks in the temple, and there are only more than 100 in total.

At this time, a group of people walked along the gravel path towards Huining Temple. There were five people in total, three monks and two laymen, all on foot, carrying only a horse-drawn hearse. This group of people is the head of Wanyan, the monk of Wanyan Chen, the five people of disillusionment, disillusionment, phantom silence, and illusory Luo, and it is the hearse of the illusion that is pulling.

Came to the temple door, Wan Yan Chang stepped forward to knock on the door knocker, and after a while, the temple door opened, and a small novice came out. As soon as he saw Yan Changzhi's group, Xiao Shami was stunned first, and immediately shouted happily: "Senior Uncle, Senior Uncle Ancestor, it is you who are back." ”

There are now four generations in Huining Temple, the first generation is Pufeng one, the second generation of disciples has a total of seventeen people, and the four monks such as Phantom Silence are all second-generation disciples. In the second generation of disciples in the most famous is Shirokuma, Doljia, Potala, Chahai four people, in recent years, Pufeng has very few directors, all the affairs in the temple are handled by the eldest disciple Shiroguma, the other three are their own mountain, independent sect foundry. The third generation has the largest number of disciples, with a total of eighty-three people, most of whom have already developed their own teachers. Although Wanyan Changzhi and Wanyan Chen are not monks, they are also third-generation disciples. There are not many fourth-generation disciples, only thirty-two people, most of them stay in the temple to learn their arts, and do some rough chores, and the little novice who opened the door is the fourth-generation disciple.

Wanyan Changzhi asked, "Is the ancestor in the temple?" ”

Xiao Shami nodded and said, "At this time, the Taishi Ancestor should grow vegetables in the vegetable garden at the back, Xu men come in first." Suddenly, he saw the hearse behind him, and then he found that there was no phantom space between them, and he couldn't help but change color and said: "The fifth master and uncle are ......."

Wanyan Changzhi waved his hand and said, "I'll go see the ancestor and say." Then he turned his head to the three of them: "Three senior uncles, please send the coffin of the fifth senior uncle in first, and Monk Chen and I will go to see the ancestor first." ”

Phantom Silence nodded and said, "Go ahead, let's send the coffin of the fifth senior brother in." Then he said to the little novice, "Go inside and tell everyone." Arrange the mourning hall" Xiao Shami agreed, and immediately ran into the temple, and the three of them also carried the coffin of the illusion from the carriage and carried it into the temple.

Wanyan Changzhi and Wanyan Chen walked towards Laiyuan together. The two of them spent twelve years in the temple and were very familiar with everything in the temple. Although it has been four or five years since the temple was released, the layout of the temple has basically not changed.

The two walked side by side along the bluestone road towards the vegetable garden, vaguely remembering the time spent in the temple when they were young. There are planting vegetables in the vegetable garden, cleaning fallen leaves on this bluestone road, practicing boxing under the scorching sun, and practicing swords in the heavy snow. It all seemed as if it happened yesterday, and for a while both of them felt like they were separated from each other.

As soon as they entered the vegetable garden, the two immediately saw a familiar figure in the vegetable field, watering the crops in the field. Although they were facing away from the two, the two of them could see at a glance that this person was the general style who was regarded as the master of the Great Jin Country. At this time, this high-ranking monk, who has been famous in the world for decades and has played a pivotal role in the Dajin Dynasty and even the general trend of the world, is completely dressed as a peasant, dressed in coarse cloth clothes, with high trouser legs, bare feet, and holding a watering spoon in his hand, constantly scooping water out of the bucket on the edge of the ground and watering it evenly into the vegetable field.

Wan Yan Changzhi suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart, he couldn't feel that Pu Feng had a bit of the demeanor of a peerless master. In other words, if he didn't know Pu Feng, he would definitely treat him as an ordinary monk who grew vegetables now.

Suddenly, I heard Pu Feng's familiar voice say: "You two, don't stand there still, there are buckets over there, go and help me fetch two buckets of water." The two looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Both of them are generals who command thousands of troops and horses, and when they arrived at Huining Temple today, they were actually called to do such rough work as fetching water.

At this time, I heard Pu Feng say: "Changzhi, Monk Chen, what are you laughing at?" Could it be that he is used to being a big official and living a life where he is used to being served by others, so he is unwilling to do these heavy jobs anymore? ”

Both of them couldn't help but be surprised, a master like Pu Feng felt ten thousand times more sensitive than others. It's not surprising to know that there are two people standing behind you without looking back. But he didn't look back, how could he know that it was the two of them standing behind him? Both of them had a deep sense of unfathomability in their hearts.

At that moment, the two did not dare to slow down, and one took two buckets and went to the well to draw water. Although Monk Wanyan Chen's internal injuries have not healed, it is still effortless to carry two buckets of water.

The rain man brought water, and Pu Feng said, "There is also a watering spoon over there, come and help me finish watering this lailand." This time, the two did not hesitate, one took a watering spoon and followed the general wind to water the vegetable patch. Fortunately, the two of them did not wear armor or official clothes when they came to see Pufeng, but plain clothes, so they didn't feel troublesome when they fetched water and poured dogwood.

It took about half an hour for the three of them to finish watering the garden. At this time, Pu Feng turned around, and this world-shaking famous monk thought that he was nearly 100 years old at this time, but he looked like he was no more than 50 years old
