Chapter 47: Friend or Foe?

Hala and Lin practiced their movements, but it was a different scene in Lin'an.

Standing on top of the court, Jia Rudao was extremely complacent, seeing the ministers behind him, he felt that his whole body was full of strength, and this power was enough to make everyone tremble, and he had to bow his once high head to him.

"Shi Xian, what are you looking for me?"

Sitting on the dragon chair, Zhao Yun asked weakly.

Since he fell ill, he felt that his body was getting worse day by day, and now he needed someone to support him before he could enter the palace of diligence.

The corners of Jia Rudao's mouth curled slightly, and he said with confidence: "Your Majesty." According to the information we placed in Chang'an, the Red Phoenix Army has been moving frequently in recent days, but I am afraid that there is something wrong. ”

"Oh?"

With a light sigh, Zhao Yun tried to open his eyes and asked, "What are you going to do with this Red Phoenix Army?"

If he was worried in his heart, it was none other than the Red Phoenix Army, he always thought that one day, the Red Phoenix Army would step into Lin'an and completely smash his foundation.

"I don't know. Jia Rudao shook his head and replied.

Zhao Yun was puzzled: "You don't know?"

"It's because I don't know it, it's even more terrifying. Jia Rudao deliberately slowed down his voice, making Zhao Yun feel nervous when he sounded: "If the Red Phoenix Army steps into our court for an inexplicable reason as before, how should we deal with it at that time?"

Told by this, Zhao Yun suddenly felt cardiac arrest, and his face was also pale.

He clenched the handle of the dragon chair and whispered, "Indeed. The Red Phoenix Army should indeed be on guard. ”

If you talk about the most regrettable thing in Zhao Yun's life, it is none other than the reuse of Ding Daquan at the beginning, so that this person deceived his superiors and subordinates, obviously that Mongolia has already entered, but everyone in the Manchu Dynasty knows about civil and military affairs.

In order to expel the Mongols, Yu Yu had no choice but to make a request to the Chifeng Army so that they could step into Sichuan and Shu and fight against the Mongols. Subsequently, as Yu Yu expected, the Song army and the Red Feng army joined forces and defeated the Mongol rivals together.

But because of this, Yu Jue was jealous of the courtiers, causing a series of incidents later.

The root of it can be said that it all comes from his misperception back then.

Jia Rudao raised his eyebrows, but he was extremely proud, and said: "So the minister begs Your Majesty, it is better to order Lu Wende to guard Xiangyang." On the one hand, it can prevent the Chifeng army from invading eastward, and on the other hand, it can also plot the Central Plains. I wonder what Your Majesty thinks?"

"Lu Wende?"

Zhao Yunnian snorted.

Jia Rudao complained: "That's right. It was Lu Wende. In the battle of Sichuan and Shu, this person has repeatedly made military exploits, and he has been guided by Yu Jue, Wang Jian and others, and his cultivation has broken through the realm of earth immortals. It's a piece of jade. If he is allowed to guard Xiangyang, we will naturally have no worries. ”

"In that case, then I will grant it. Zhao Yun said with a smile.

Jia Rudao exhaled the turbid air in his mouth, bowed his head and thanked: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your success." ”

He knows his identity, all because his sister is Zhao Yun's concubine, so he can stand in this court, and in the eyes of traditional scholars such as Chen Wenlong and Li Tingzhi, he is naturally despised.

For this reason, Jia Rudao and Lu Wende joined forces in order to strengthen their foundation.

Sure enough, when Chen Wenlong saw Jia Rudao's behavior, he felt a little wrong, and immediately stepped forward to complain: "Your Majesty." Although the Chifeng army is worrying, but the Mongolian enemy has not been eliminated, if the Jianghuai generation of defenders is rashly withdrawn to Xiangyang, I am afraid that it will lead to the emptiness of the Jianghuai generation's defense, so that the other party has a plan!"

Although the Song Dynasty had barely defeated the Mongol army, it survived.

However, the Mongol strategy had been completed, and from the two-sided direction, an absolute encirclement of the Song Dynasty was formed.

In Tufan and Dali, there is a threat from Wuliang Hetai; in the north, there are threats from Zhang Rou, Ali Buge, and others; and even from Vietnam and other countries, there has been information of incursion into the country a few days ago, and it can be said that there are flames everywhere at the border.

This situation forced the Song Dynasty to deploy a large number of troops on the Sichuan and Jianghuai fronts in order to guard against the Mongol invasion.

If it weren't for the Red Phoenix Army to base themselves in the northwest and block the Mongolian Xiangyang Road, I am afraid that the Song Dynasty would be more dangerous now.

"What do you mean by that?"

Zhao Yun was suddenly displeased, and the little good feeling he had because of Zhao Kui before was gone.

Chen Wenlong saw Zhao Yun's expression change slightly, and he knew that the other party was already jealous of him, although this was the case, as soon as he thought about the current situation, he directly explained: "Your Majesty. Since the Red Phoenix Army uprising, it has always been friendly with our dynasty. In the past, he personally gave us the method of building firearms, so that we could build many firearms before we could defeat the Mongols. And since the defeat of Mongolia, Sichuan has been handed over, if we continue to persecute it, won't it make the world laugh?"

"Stupid!"

Jia Rudao snorted lightly and complained: "The King of Jin has always been unpredictable, do you think she really gave up Sichuan?"

"Isn't it?" asked Chen Wenlong.

Jia Rudao replied: "Of course. You must know that although the guy left, he spread the Chinese religion in Sichuan and Shu, so that the people in the sect refused to donate taxes. For this reason, Sichuan's tax is only one-tenth of what it used to be. How can we fill the vacancy between the DPRK and China?"

"But you're wrong. ”

Chen Wenlong's face was angry, and he argued: "I have also heard of the Chinese Sect. Most of its teachings are to promote friendship and mutual assistance, and they are even more proud of paying taxes, so how can there be the things you are talking about? Not to mention the fact that Sichuan was robbed and the people were displaced, so it is ridiculous to forcibly demand taxes as usual in such a situation. ”

Jia Rudao's eyebrows were furrowed, and when he saw that Zhao Yun was angry on the dragon chair, he said, "Even so. But it is also true that the Chinese religion incited the people to refuse to pay taxes. ”

Just before, there were some people in Sichuan who gathered together to besiege the government

Although Wang Jian suppressed it in time, he also let the ministers of Lin'an know that Sichuan was far from safe and sound.

Chen Wenlong's face was angry, and he shouted in the air: "If it weren't for the forced apportionment by officials, how could these things have happened?" He had also heard those things, and naturally knew that if it weren't for the oppression of officials, those people would definitely not risk their lives to resist.

The government forced the people to rebel, which has been the case since ancient times.

On the dragon chair, Zhao Yun saw Chen Wenlong's appearance, and unconsciously showed a little disgust.

"Oh, then, according to what you say, we shouldn't continue to maintain an army? You also know that the Mongols are cruel, and if they are allowed to step into the kingdom, how far do you think the people of the country will fall? Don't you even understand this?" Jia Yidao glanced at Zhao Yun, and saw that he was even more proud when he saw a trace of praise flowing from him.

And he made up his mind in his heart.

In any case, Chen Wenlong must be driven out of the imperial court.

Chen Wenlong also felt bad, and defended: "Your Majesty." That's what the minister means. It's just that if you squeeze the people too much, I'm afraid that the people will be disappointed, and then you will be centrifuged up and down, how can you confront the Mongols and the Red Phoenix Army?"

Zhao Yun didn't have the heart to continue to listen to his defense, and waved his sleeves and said directly: "The major events of the national dynasty are extraordinary. You'd better go to the place first. ”

In a word, it is difficult to chase the horse.

Zhao Yun's opening immediately decided Chen Wenlong's fate.

Chen Wenlong saw that Zhao Yun was resolute, so he had to bow his head and thank him: "What Your Majesty said, the minister understands." He turned sideways and left, but when he saw that Naja seemed to be triumphant, he felt even more regretful.

Could it be that the imperial court is really hopeless?
