Today, in the vast prairie, the world has always been dominated by the Liao Kingdom.

As the overlord of the grasslands, he often invaded the Southern Dynasties.

With the loss of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, the Song Dynasty could only take a defensive stance.

Therefore, in the military struggle with the Liao Kingdom, the Song Dynasty was always at a disadvantage, winning less and losing more.

Wu Yong was a smart man. Knowing that the Song Dynasty had no place to stay, he put his wealth and life in the Liao Kingdom.

When Liangshanbo was in power, Wu Yong had contacts with the Liao State, and the two sides often exchanged letters.

"Inform Bianjing of Wu Yong's escape."

After escaping from Daming Mansion, Wu Yong was like a fish in the sea.

It's a hundred times harder to catch him.

Wu Zhi had no choice but to inform Zhao Ji of the news.

I hope he will order to seal the border and block Wu Yong in the Song Dynasty.

However, although the idea is beautiful, Wu Zhi also knows that it will not be easy to implement, and he does not have high hopes.

The result was as expected. Although Zhao Ji ordered the entire Song Dynasty to hunt Wu Yong, the border area of ​​the Song Dynasty was too large, and there were always loopholes for Wu Yong to exploit.

Wu Yong only walked around the border, pretended to be a border guard, and swaggered out of the Song Dynasty.

Although Wu Zhi regretted that he failed to catch Wu Yong and thus failed to complete the system task, he still has a long way to go and is not discouraged.

There must be a battle between Song and Liao, and when the time comes, just capture him.

After staying in Daming Mansion for half a month, Wu Zhi reorganized the city and returned directly to Bianjing without stopping.

Naturally, Emperor Zhao Ji was the happiest when Liangshan was annihilated this time.

He was so happy that he even put away the magic painting "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" and just waited for Wu Zhi to lead his army back.

In order to show the importance he attached to Wuzhi, Zhao Ji personally led his ministers to wait ten miles away from Bianjing, just to welcome Wuzhi.

The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty stood behind Emperor Zhao Ji, and most of them looked indifferent.

When the emperor was happy, they were also happy.

The most angry people were none other than the ministers headed by Cai Jing.

This time, in order to deal with Wu Zhi, Cai Jing used every method he could think of.

But in the end, not only did he fail to suppress Wu Zhi, but he also allowed Wu Zhi to achieve such great achievements that he had to follow the emperor to greet him.

Cai Jing had a gloomy face and stood reluctantly at the head of the civil servants.

He looked at Tong Guan and found that the latter's face was calm, so he couldn't help but cursed the old fox secretly.

This time against Wu Zhi, Tong Guan was also used.

However, the latter was only noticed.

It was Cai Jing who really wasted resources and lost strength.

"This Wu Zhi really doesn't know the etiquette, he actually let the officials wait here for so long..."

The more he thought about Wu Zhi, the more unhappy Cai Jing became.

Especially when his son-in-law Liang Zhongshu died because of Wu Zhi, Cai Jing hated Wu Zhi with all his heart.

Having failed to use the hands of the Liangshan bandits to eliminate Wu Zhi, Cai Jing was equally happy to be able to disgust him now.

"Xiang Cai, Wu Zhiping destroyed Liangshan, which was a great contribution to the country, so what if I wait a moment?"

After hearing Cai Jing's words, Emperor Zhao Ji frowned and said with some displeasure.

"What the officials said is true, but the old ministers said too much."

Seeing Emperor Zhao Ji's ugly face, Cai Jing was greatly frightened and immediately admitted his mistake.

"Well, if you don't want to wait, you can leave on your own and I won't hold you accountable."

Zhao Ji nodded, letting Cai Jing go.

Then, he looked around at the civil and military officials.

Having said that, I am afraid that among all the civil and military officials, I cannot find such a bold person.

"I am willing to wait with Your Majesty!"

All the officials said almost in unison.

At this moment, a scout horse suddenly came from a distance and reported to Zhao Ji.

"Reporting to the official's house, Mr. Wu's army has arrived ten miles away."

"Okay, everyone, please tidy up your clothes!"

Zhao Ji straightened his clothes and said solemnly.

While the officials were adjusting their clothes, Wu Zhi's army soon pressed forward.

"Meet the officials and let them wait here for so long. Wu Zhi deserves death!"

Wu Zhi dismounted and came to Zhao Ji's side, and said with fear.

"Haha, you are a meritorious minister today, and I should wait for you."

Zhao Ji enthusiastically took Wu Zhi's hand and laughed affectionately.

"This damn Wu Zhi!"

Seeing Zhao Ji pulling Wu Zhi so enthusiastically, Cai Jing and Tong Guan were quite jealous.

But on the face, he could only force a smile.

"Tong Aiqing, last time I suggested that when Wu Zhi comes back in triumph, what kind of official title should he be given?"

Zhao Ji opened his mouth and pretended to ask Tong Guan.

Tong Guan was a cunning and cunning man, and he had already guessed Emperor Zhao Ji's thoughts.

Not daring to show any unhappy expression, he said with a smile: "When I go back to the official's house, what Rangci said is the position of Taiwei."

"Lieutenant, that's right!"

Emperor Zhao Ji nodded with satisfaction and said to Wu Zhi: "Wu Zhi listens to the title!"

"I'm here!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhi immediately knelt down.

"This time Wu Zhi played the most important role in wiping out the Liangshan bandits. I will make you a Taiwei, a Duke of Wu, and betroth the Sixth Princess to you!"

Emperor Zhao Ji was not stingy at all. He not only made Wu Zhi a Taiwei, but also made him Duke of Wu and granted him the title of Princess in marriage.

Each of them individually is a gift from God, let alone the sum of the three.

"Your Majesty, this reward is too heavy! You know, Wu Zhi sent troops to attack Daming Mansion, and the governor Liang Taishu died because of him. I hope your Majesty will think again!"

As soon as Zhao Ji finished announcing his reward, Cai Jing immediately objected and used Wuzhi's attack on Daming City as a stain.

"Prime Minister Cai obeyed the authority in an urgent matter. At that time, Liangshan Wu Yong was in Daming Mansion, and the magistrate of Daming Mansion refused to open the city gate, so Wu Zhi had no choice but to do so."

"As for the death of Liang Zhongshu, it was all his own fault. He was killed by his own soldiers, and the Song Dynasty was completely disgraced."

Naturally, Cai Jing would not give up so easily, and retorted: "Although this is true, the ancestral etiquette cannot be violated. Wu Zhi privately led an army to attack Daming Mansion, which is a capital crime in itself. Since he was chasing the Liangshan bandits, the merits and demerits should be equal to each other.

How can you reward me so generously?"

"If this was the beginning, future generals would not be able to imitate it, and the Song Dynasty would be destroyed."

Cai Jing continued: "I suggest that Wu Zhi's merits and demerits should be balanced and not investigated. The court should reward a good official like Liang Zhongshu."

"I second the proposal!"

"I also second the proposal!"

As soon as Cai Jinggang finished speaking, many court officials came out to express their support.

At a glance, there are more than half of them.

One can imagine how powerful Cai Jing is in the court.

"this……"

Being forced by so many ministers, Zhao Ji was very angry.

However, we cannot disrespect the opinions of the ministers.

The atmosphere of the scene suddenly became a little awkward.

"Guan Jing, the person who really committed the crime is Cai Jing, and I have evidence to present here.

After Cai Jing targeted him, Wu Zhi showed no mercy at all.

Today, he will be put to death.
