Zeng Yinglong was depressed and unhappy, so he said: "The officials sent me to put pressure on Tuo Lei, asking Tuo Lei to fulfill the covenant and cede the Song Dynasty's homeland. If Tuo Lei ignored him, the officials would even join forces with Wokuotai to send troops.
Attacking Tuo Lei is not a trivial matter, so I feel depressed and don’t know what to do.”
After hearing this, Zhao Shanxiang smiled and said, "You are worrying too much."
Zeng Yinglong was surprised when he saw Zhao Shanxiang being so calm, "Oh, what do you mean by these words?"
Zhao Shanxiang then pointed out the stakes. He said: "It has been a year now that Tuolei and Wo Kuotai have been fighting for the throne. The two sides have been fighting fiercely, fighting to the death. Wo Kuotai occupies the right position and has strong strength, but Tuo Lei
But he dared to fight, and his troops were strong and powerful, so both sides were exhausted from fighting.
It is said that they all intend to have a temporary truce now. At this time, when the officials order you to send people, it is obvious that they have the intention to fight against the fire. If they fight against the fire, they will not be able to cease the war."
Zeng Yinglong was surprised, "Shijun is saying that the officials have no intention of sending troops, but just want to provoke a fight between Wokuotai and Tuo Lei?"
"Of course, sir, if you think about it, now that the implementation of the new law in the Song Dynasty is in full swing, it is a time when we are seeking stability in silence. How can we start a war? And the officials have not summoned King Yi, the Communist Party of Meng, Cao Youwen, Jiang Wan
The behavior of Zai and others is certainly an unintentional sending of troops."
It was then that Zeng Yinglong suddenly realized and had some understanding of Zhao Yun's plan.
Zeng Yinglong solemnly raised his hand to Zhao Shanxiang and said, "Thank you very much for clearing up my confusion."
Zhao Shanxiang waved his hand and said with a smile: "You and I are colleagues, so please be polite."
Just when Zeng Yinglong's doubts were solved and he felt comfortable, Zhao Yun frowned and looked depressed.
There was no other reason than that Chen Long had come to report before that the 1 million yuan used by the school to implement the compulsory teaching method had not been allocated by the Third Division Yamen. He went to the Third Division Envoy Cheng Jue several times and asked for the allocation of funds.
However, Cheng Jue tried to evade it several times, only saying that the national treasury was tight and it was difficult to raise money at the moment, which made it difficult for him to implement the compulsory teaching method.

Zhao Yun was calm as usual and said: "I understand, the one million yuan will be allocated soon, and the Qing family does not need to worry."
After hearing this, Chen Longzhi felt confident and raised his hand to thank you, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Chen Longzhi resigned, Zhao Yun soon looked sad, leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes, and rubbed his eyeballs with his fingers.
This Cheng Jue can't do things well.
After complaining in his heart, Zhao Yun said: "Gao Shi, I have sent the Third Secretary to make an appearance."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
In the Sansi Yamen, all the officials came to the waiting room to wait for Cheng Ju's arrival. Everyone was whispering. For some reason, Cheng Ju suddenly held a meeting and summoned all the senior officials. It seemed that something big was announced.
Everyone arrived, and Cheng Jue soon arrived.
I saw Cheng Ju's face relaxed and comfortable, as if he was relieved. He glanced at everyone, and then said: "Gentlemen, I am convening this meeting today because I have something to announce."
All the officials looked at Cheng Jue with serious expressions.
Cheng Ju said: "I am getting old, and my physical strength has obviously declined in recent years. Therefore, I have resigned from the official family, hoping to retire and return to my hometown to live a leisurely life for a few years."
When everyone heard this, they all whispered, secretly thinking that if Cheng Ju left, who would take his place?
While everyone was speculating, Cheng Jue continued: "The Sansi Yamen is my money bag in the Song Dynasty. It is related to the foundation of the country and cannot be lost. Therefore, I also recommended two people to the official family to take over my position. The first one
They are Zhang Xuan, the deputy envoy of the Third Division, and Li Shi, the judge of the Third Division."
Cheng Jue looked at Zhang Xuan and Li Shi, and continued: "The official family has no objection to you two, but after all, the third minister has a heavy responsibility, so the official family has set a one-month assessment period. During this period, who are you two?"
Whoever performs steadily and outstandingly can successfully take over my position."
As soon as these words came out, all the officials were immediately surprised. Many people looked at Zhang Xuan and Li Shi with envy on their faces.
Zhang Xuan and Li Shi were also very proud, and there was a burst of joy in their hearts.
"If I can succeed Cheng Ju as the third envoy, wouldn't it be possible for me to rise to the imperial court, become a high-ranking official in the ministry, and leave my name in the history books for thousands of years? How great is this!"
Thinking of this, the two of them were very excited, and subconsciously, they also looked at each other, with three points of ruthless hostility in their eyes.
At this moment, the same words came to their minds. If they want to successfully become the third commander, they have to take this step!
At this time, Cheng Ju encouraged them: "Two envoys, in the next month, you must seize the opportunity. It will be difficult to miss it."
After hearing this, Li Shi first raised his hand to thank Cheng Ju, but said: "When it comes to ability, I am not as good as Zhang Xuan and Zhang Shijun. Zhang Shijun came to our Sansi Yamen and was promoted one after another in just two years.
We have passed a road that many people have not walked for more than ten years.
Although there are rumors that Shijun Zhang relied on family connections to gain the position through flattery, I believe that everything Zhang Shijun has today is due to his efforts, and those rumors are definitely rumors."
When Zhang Xuan heard this, he immediately became angry and asked, "What do you mean by this?" Since it is just a rumor, why bother telling it?
Moreover, you mentioned that I have a low qualification. Are you saying that I am young and do not have enough prestige to convince the public as the third commander?
Not to be outdone, Zhang Xuan looked like a junior and said modestly: "When it comes to experience, I am not as good as Li Shi and Li Shijun, and when it comes to housework, I am even worse.
Li Shijun has many wives and concubines, including seven sons and thirteen daughters. With such a big family, Li Shijun must have a lot of worries about family affairs. Under such circumstances, he can still squeeze out some time to do business. This is really our generation.
role model.
Every time I think about this, I feel admiration in my heart. Unlike me, I only have one wife, no concubines, and only three children. My home is extremely deserted. Under this condition, I can only devote all my energy to it.
He was placed in the Sansi Yamen. Well, comparing the two, Li Shijun is obviously more skilled than me."
The two people were so tit-for-tat, and all the officials around them were dumbfounded. What happened? Are they fighting now? Weren't they fine just now?
Sure enough, this power is the best aphrodisiac, charming the mind.
Seeing that the two men were so tit-for-tat with each other, Cheng Jue quickly intervened and said: "The two envoys have done their best in Sansi Yamen. All of your colleagues have seen it and remembered it in their hearts. It is obvious to all."
Well. Okay, today’s meeting will end here first, please leave.”
However, this is a matter of power struggle, how can we solve it?
