Chapter 791
On October 26, when Zhao Ning arrived in Tokyo, he received a secret report from the north: Zong Wang died in Yanjing.
Zhao Ning took this secret report, looked at the northern sky, and sighed: Sure enough, it still hasn't lasted a few years. It doesn't matter, it's not the first year of Jingkang anymore, and I don't need you anymore.
At the end of the eighth year of Jingkang, the situation in Song, Jin and Xia still underwent tremendous changes.
A new pattern is taking shape.
The storm that arose from Bianjing in the Song Dynasty affected far more than just the Jin Kingdom and Xixia.
Goryeo is already in a state of being crippled. It has become a strategic contest between the two superpowers of the world and has become a victim.
This storm will also sweep to Dali and cross eastward to Japan.
It may even blow further.
In the evening of the 26th, the water of the Bianhe River glowed with a faint luster under the afterglow of winter, and people were still coming and going at the ferry.
Large quantities of goods were unloaded there and moved to nearby collapsed buildings.
Whenever the night market comes, there are many people in front of Daxiangguo Temple.
There are also some migrant workers who rely on the leasing notices posted on the fence.
The rental market is also very hot in Tokyo, which has caused the rents in Tokyo to skyrocket. It is said that many officials who have just joined the office can only rent very dilapidated and old houses.
"Excuse me!"
At this time, on the bridge of the Bianhe River, several newspaper sellers began to shout loudly.
"The emperor personally went on a personal expedition, defeated 300,000 gold thieves, and recovered three towns in Hebei. Recovered three towns in Hebei!"
"Shuai Yue breaks the main force of the Jin Army! Yue Shuai breaks the main force of the Jin Army!"
"..."
"Kid, give me one!"
"I'll have one too!"
"And me, how much is it?"
"Two cents."
"Give!"
Near the Daxiangguo Temple, many people were holding newspapers, reading and talking loudly.
"Yue Fei defeated the main force of the Jin army in Zhongshan, regained Hejian, and went south to meet the main force of the thief chief Zong Han at Tiefutu!"
"I have long said that Yue Fei's Northern Expedition will definitely succeed!"
"Hey, let me just say, Yue Fei is a hero!"
"You were all making fun of Mrs. Liu back then. That Mrs. Liu is simply a scoundrel, a bitch, shameless, and slandering Commander-in-Chief Yue!"
"Haha, you scolded Yue Shuai the most at that time, and now you start scolding Mr. Liu in the blink of an eye?"
"When have I ever scolded Marshal Yue? Don't you dare slander me!"
"Stop arguing, let me tell you, Marshal Yue is the real pillar of our Song Dynasty! If any of you dare to speak ill of Marshal Yue in the future, I will be the first to refuse!"
"..."
On the streets of Tokyo, there were suddenly more people praising Yue Fei.
But when it was getting dark, another page of the newspaper came out.
"Excuse me! Zhang Jun, the deputy commander of the army and horses in Zhaozhou, neglected his duty, causing the thief chief Zong Han to escape! "Excuse me! Zhang Jun, the deputy commander of the army and horses in Zhaozhou, neglected his duty, causing the thief chief Zong Han to escape! Zhang Jun is dismissed from his post!"
"Zhang Jun? Child, give me one!"
"Give me one too!"
"This Zhang Jun is just a stupid idiot! Even Marshal Yue has defeated Zong Han, but he still can't catch him!"
"We can't let such a person be in such an important position!"
"Well done! Your Majesty is wise! This kind of person should be dismissed!"
"Zhang Jun, this stupid pig! I want to greet his whole family! Let's go together and greet his whole family! No! Greet his eighteen generations of ancestors!"
While the crowd was discussing heatedly, groups of black boots suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Get out of the way, everyone, get out of the way, the Imperial City Department is handling the case."
The crowd then obediently made way for them.
The Imperial City Secretary swaggered through the streets.
"Hey, that carriage seems to be the carriage of Lieutenant Gao Qiu, the current deputy commander of the front department?"
"Lieutenant Gao, did you read that correctly?"
"I definitely read that right!"
"Why are there so many black boots all of a sudden?"
"And if Lieutenant Gao goes out personally, I'm afraid something big is going to happen!"
"..."
After a while, Gao Qiu got off the carriage at the door of He Mansion.
Gao Qiu looked at the grand He family and asked He Bin: "Your old He family is quite wealthy!"
"Captain Gao was joking. This official is just a warrior. How dare he be related to the current prime minister."
"Fortunately, you are not related to him, otherwise you would be doomed today!" Gao Qiu smiled, "Let's go in!"
The servant at the door came over, looked at the group of Imperial City Secretaries, and said, "I wonder why you Shangguan came to the Prime Minister's house?"
"The servants in front of the prime minister speak in a more domineering tone than ordinary people." Gao Qiu said to He Bin next to him, "Did you see, this is the majesty of the prime minister. Even when I see Mr. He, I have to bow.
Even Ban Zhi, the official in front of the Wende Hall of the official family, is no exception!"
What Gao Qiu said is right. The status of prime ministers in the Tang and Song Dynasties was very high.
After all, he is the head of a hundred officials. Not to mention the ministers in front of the palace, even the princes respect the prime minister very much.
When the servants heard what Gao Qiu said, they couldn't help but feel proud.
At this time, a middle-aged man came out.
"Hey, isn't this Captain Gao? What brought you here?" The speaker was Lu Jing, the steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"It's okay, let's meet Mr. He of your family to catch up on old times."
"Sorry, Mr. He just came back from handling official duties and is tired. How about another day?"
Fortunately, Gao Qiu came in person. If it were He Bin and the others, they might not be able to get in.
Gao Qiu smiled and said: "I'm afraid it won't work another day."
"If Captain Gao has anything to say, I can convey it to Xianggong He." Lu Jing had a polite smile on his face, but this smile gave people a kind of distant indifference.
"You want it, okay!" Gao Qiu took out the investigation order signed by Zhao Guan's family, "Are you qualified to convey the imperial edict of His Majesty the current emperor?"
Lu Jing was stunned for a moment, then immediately said: "Captain Gao, please come in."
Gao Qiu walked up to Lu Jing, used both hands to help Lu Jing straighten his collar, and said, "I still prefer your unruly look just now."
After saying that, Gao Qiu led the people all the way in.
As soon as he stepped in with his right foot, Gao Qiu suddenly said: "By the way, surround the Prime Minister's Mansion for me! Not even a fly can fly out!"
Gao Qiu said loudly again: "It stands to reason that His Majesty the Emperor was given the prime minister's residence, but our Xianggong He declined politely. He spent a lot of money and bought such a magnificent house in Tokyo. He Xianggong is still rich!"
The arrival of Gao Qiu immediately caused a great sensation in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Soon, He Yong came out.
"Captain Gao, what kind of wind has brought you here?" He Yong immediately led his people to greet you, and then saluted, "Captain Gao has come to my humble abode, and the flowers are shining brightly. Hurry! Please come in quickly! Prepare the best tea.
, get some snacks and dried fruits!”
The servants around him quickly dispersed to prepare things.
