Songshan College, Leopard Forest Valley, and the Great Song Dynasty are all above board and one of the best in Confucianism, martial arts or Taoism.

As the son of an official eunuch, Li Gang studied at Songshan Academy when he was young. After he became a high-ranking official, he also followed the example of Fan Zhongyan, Sima Guang and others and returned to Songshan Academy to give lectures.

For Liu Xing, Li Gang was just one of the many old masters who came to give guest lectures, and he didn't have too deep memories in his heart.

However, for Li Gang, a sect like Leopard Forest Valley, which has been a warrior in the past dynasties, actually had a disciple sent to Songshan Academy, which in itself was enough to attract him back then.

Liu Xing's background in Leopard Forest Valley first attracted Li Gang's attention, and when Li Gang saw Liu Xing in the academy, he took action to fight against those sons of wealthy families. Whenever he encounters injustice, he will always see Liu Xing use some strange and treacherous means to fight injustice.

And every time the old masters of the academy wanted to teach him a lesson, Liu Xing could always use some theories that were deviant but indefensible in the eyes of many people to confront the old masters.

Before going down the mountain, Li Gang said to the old masters of the academy: "When he enters the right path, he will be a genius in governing the world, and if he goes astray, he will be a hero in troubled times that is rare in a thousand years." ”

He had made such an assertion to Liu Xing back then, from the forced demotion of Bianjing City to the exile all the way, Li Gang heard the latest situation about Liu Xing from all sides in these days, which made him preconceived that Liu Xing must be a genius in the world, not a tyrant in troubled times.

The reason why he was so sure was because although he knew that Liu Xing was using King Xin as a puppet, he had no choice at this moment. The reason why he was so sure was that he knew that although Liu Xing was deviant, he was dedicated to serving the country. He has never revealed any ambitions or acts that really want to usurp the world.

That's why he was so sure. Because he was after Liu Xing's series of law change strategies were implemented. It seems that Li Gang once again saw the resurgence of the Great Song Dynasty and a scene of revival at the beginning of Wang Anshi's reform.

Therefore, although he only taught Liu Xing a few lessons at the beginning, Li Gang could not escape the bad habit of Confucian vassal elegance and like to rub powder on his face on the way to Lin'an, and he claimed to be Liu Xing's Confucian teacher......

It is precisely because of these reasons that Li Gang is sure in his heart that Liu Xinghui will be the able minister to rule the world to end the troubled times, so he will move out of the Leopard Forest Valley and carry out the Songshan Academy.

For people like Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan, who are only from family education and official education, but have never entered the four major academies, when they heard Li Gang raise the words of the two famous factions that Liu Xing was not a traitor and a usurper, neither of them dared to speak out to contradict him.

The reason is also very simple. Now in Zhao Gou's grass-terraced court, many officials from top to bottom are from Songshan Academy or the other three major academies with the same name as Songshan Academy.

Once the two of them say disrespectful words to Songshan Academy in order to attack Liu Xing, they are likely to be attacked by a group of Confucian officials at any time and become the target of public criticism.

What makes the two even more unwilling to make a mistake is still Leopard Forest Valley. The prestige of the seed family in Taoism and martial arts is too high, so high that even when Song Qinzong dared to resign from the official position of the seed master and Tao, he did not dare to say half a bad word to Leopard Linggu......

Seeing that the two traitors didn't dare to speak, Li Gang turned his head to Zhao Gou again after forcing him to look at Wang Boyan for a while, forcing him to lower his head and not dare to raise it again.

"His Royal Highness King Kang, if you want the old minister to do your work in the Lin'an court, let the old minister call you Your Majesty. If there is one thing you promise, I will do it. There's no need for some villains to talk about it here, and you don't need to talk about it for them here. Li Gang had a righteous face and righteous words when he spoke. It seems that no courtier should respect the prince and the emperor.

The reason why Li Gang dared to speak to Zhao Gou like this, in fact, whether it was Zhao Gou or those two traitors, they knew very well in their hearts that it was all because King Kang had studied with Li Gang when he was young.

According to the rules, Li Gang can be regarded as one of Zhao Gou's many mentors. When the student spoke to the teacher, he didn't call his name directly, which was considered respect, and if he wanted Li Gang to meet him Zhao Gou now, Zhao Gou himself didn't dare to expect it......

Knowing this in his heart, Zhao Gou immediately smiled and said when Li Gang finished speaking: "Li Xiangguo, please say, as long as I can do it, as long as you are willing to re-enter the court to share my worries, I will definitely agree completely." ”

Hearing this, Li Gang bowed down and hugged his fists and said: "The old minister, please issue an edict to the whole world, whether it is in the name of the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses conferred by King Kang and the first emperor, or in the reputation of His Majesty today." It is clear that if you don't believe in the king, you will take the initiative to attack Lin'an, and you will never do anything in the same room. As long as you agree to the minister's request, what do you want the minister to do, the minister will never say anything. ”

Issued an edict and did not take the initiative to be a person in the same room. Li Gang's request sounds not difficult to do, but it is difficult in Zhao Gou's heart.

Because at present, Zhao Gou is seeking peace and partial peace, all of which is preparing for the future once Liu Xing drives away the golden dog, he will regain the Central Plains.

But if he really issued an edict and announced it to the world, even if the golden dog was really driven away by Liu Xing in the future, he would have no reason to attack and take back all the great rivers and mountains from his younger brother......

Whoever knows what is in his heart, and who understands his calculations. Zhao Gou had such thoughts and calculations, and when he heard Li Gang's request, he couldn't help frowning and didn't agree immediately.

Huang Qianshan, who was standing on the side, rolled his eyes after hearing Li Gang's request and seeing Zhao Gou's expression again. Then he looked sideways at Wang Boyan, and the two of them looked at each other, and a very subtle smile appeared on their faces at the same time.

After smiling at Wang Boyan tacitly, Huang Qianshan immediately walked in front of Li Gang, put on a respectful demeanor and bowed his head and said loudly: "Li Xiangguo does not need to make this request, Your Majesty has never had the idea of sending troops and horses to attack King Xinwang first, just ask Liu Xing to not attack our dynasty first." As long as you are willing to assist Your Majesty, I am willing to give back to you as the left minister. ”

Before the emperor could speak, this Zuo Xiang preemptively gave up the position of power, and at other times, it would definitely make Zhao Gou extremely embarrassed, and he immediately became angry and cleaned up Huang Qianshan.

But just when Zhao Gou wanted to angrily reprimand Huang Qianshan, he saw Wang Boyan with a deceitful smile on his face. From Wang Boyan's eyes, he also saw that Wang Boyan must have some strategy to support Huang Qianshan to stand up and let Zuo Xiang.

A tacit understanding between the monarch and the ministers made Zhao Gou's brain turn quickly, and he immediately figured out the hidden meaning in Huang Qianshan's words.

Huang Qianshan said it very clearly! Zhao Gou will not take the initiative to send troops to fight the letter king, this is a certainty, and it is also the decision of Zhao Gou's choice now. But if Liu Xing wants to beat Zhao Gou, Liu Xing is already doing this! Jingdong, isn't Wu Lan fighting Zhao Gou's team?

Promise Li Gang first, and in the future, even if Zhao Gou is really recuperated and full-fledged. When he wanted to wave the Northern Expedition, it was just that now Jingdong Wu Xuan seized the two roads of Jingdong, which was the truth that he started the war and sent troops north......

Thinking about this quickly, a smile appeared on Zhao Gou's face, and he said loudly: "Since Huang Aiqing took the initiative to let Xian, I hope that Li Xiangmo will refuse." I have granted your request, and I will issue an edict tomorrow. I formally promise the world that the king of non-faith will send troops to invade the south, and I will never attack the northern dynasty first. ”

"Minister Li Gang, see Your Majesty." Before Zhao Gou's words fell, Li Gang suddenly fell down and fell at his feet.

After shouting long live first, Li Gang, who was leaning over the ground, immediately said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, thank you, for thinking of the people's hearts and feelings, and leaving a well-being for the people of my Central Plains." From today onwards, I will do my best to be loyal to Your Majesty and die for me. ”

"Li Aiqing is flat, and the official conferment will be carried out tomorrow morning. You are also very tired from the dust all the way, so go to the pavilion to rest first. You and I will see you tomorrow, and I will give you another mansion. Seeing that Li Gang recognized him as the emperor, Zhao Gou immediately put on a majestic look and stepped forward to help Li Gang.

Immediately, the eunuch who led Li Gang into the hall stepped forward again and beckoned Li Gang, who was grateful to Zhao Gou, to leave the Daqing Palace.

As soon as Li Gang left, Zhao Gou immediately turned to look at Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan, and said with a sinking face: "The two Aiqing gave way to Li Gang, but they have already thought about what to condemn him to do?" Have you also come up with a plan to deal with this old man's edict? ”

Answering the question, Wang Boyan said: "King Xin has already sent troops to attack the Jingdong of our dynasty, what about the edict you issued, Your Majesty?" ”

"As for what Li Gang should have done with him, the minister has also thought of a place for him."

When Huang Qianshan finished speaking, he also took a step forward and said with a sinister face: "Zhu Sheng is low-minded and lacks prestige, so he has only seen Liu Xing's thief for a long time. Let this Li Gang and the prime ministers of the two dynasties go to Wutai County. I want to see if Liu Xing dares to refuse when he sees his former mentor, and he dares to make a mistake and ignore me! ”

"Moreover, Li Gang went to Wutai as the prime minister of one country, which can not only force Liu Xingxiao'er to meet in person to discuss peace talks, but also make the whole world know Your Majesty's respect for the Northern Dynasty. If he recurs his 'evil madness' disease, he will lose the hearts of the people in the world, and he will only be that Liu Xing's child. After Huang Qianshan finished speaking, Wang Boyan immediately answered and turned his head back to Huang Qianshan.

Huang Qianshan understood and immediately continued unequivocally: "If Li Gang does this well, it will be his duty to shoot a left servant and a servant under his door." If Liu Xing's thief is really still the same as now, he will push all the peace matters to Ma Kuo, so that our court will not be able to negotiate peace. Hehe, Your Majesty, when Li Gang comes back, isn't it that no one in the world will object to what you want? ”

"I have two Aiqing, such as Liu Bang and Han Xin, and Xuande and Wuhou." After listening to the words of the two singing and harmonizing, Zhao Goutian shamelessly said this first.

Then he turned his gaze to the outside of the hall, faintly showed a sinister smile, and said thoughtfully: "I hope that Li Gang can make my long-term plan successful, and I also hope that his words and deeds against Jin can urge Liu Xing's thieves to step up their troops and rescue my mother and my lady......"
