Chapter 1391: Secret report from Fengxiang Mansion, Zhao Shen’s ecstasy
"There is a saying that goes well: don't doubt the people you trust, but never trust the people you employ! Shen Tang is the commander-in-chief of the army. This was appointed by His Majesty, and everyone in the imperial court knows it. Now, Shen Tang is leading his troops to fight against the Jin people, and, Successive meritorious service! If the words of Prime Minister Ye are spread, how can all the people in the world be convinced?
How to convince the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who are fighting against the Jin people?"
"If this makes the border officers dissatisfied and the war situation collapses, can Mr. Ye dare to take this responsibility?"
In the main hall, Diao Hongxin raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, "Good guy, no wonder I can't sit in the position of Privy Councilor. Although I have been in power for many years, I am still far behind these people! With these strong words but irrefutable words, I will never be able to say it!"
"Furthermore, I was considered the enemy of Shi Hao and others before, but now, although I am not one of our own, I can still be considered neutral.
With this change in position, the mentality also changes.
If it had been the previous attitude, my mentality would have collapsed at this moment, but now, why do you feel so comfortable listening to this old guy criticize others?"
"I can't tell you. I must have a few drinks when I go back today and enjoy the spring moon with the concubine I just took in not long ago..."
Naturally, no one knows what Diao Hong is thinking in his confidence, but what is visible to the naked eye is that the corners of our Lord Ye's eyes are indeed twitching fiercely.
I just told a few truths, so why did I have to bear the responsibility for the failure of the battle?
"alright!"
Although Zhao Shen felt quite happy after hearing this, he still had to find a way out, "What Shi Aiqing said is true, don't doubt the people you trust, but don't trust the people you employ! I have no doubts about Shen Tang's loyalty.
Don’t mention this matter again!”
Does Zhao Shen believe in Shen Tang?
Of course I believe it!
Before Shen Tang went north, Zhao Shen also knew everything that happened in the Kingdom of Jin! With such courtesy from the Kingdom of Jin, he could hear his call and return without hesitation, and directly led his troops to Fengxiang Mansion. Shen has no reason to doubt Shen Tang's loyalty to him!
As for the relationship between Shen Tang and Wanyan Hao, doesn't he know?
Besides, what about Weng’s son-in-law?
Maybe it won't be long before I am still this boy's elder brother-in-law?
Hey...how could I have such thoughts?
?
"Your Majesty, the Imperial City Department has sent a secret report from Fengxiang Mansion!"
At this moment, Wang Quan's voice suddenly sounded!
"ah?
Get it now!"
Normally, when a letter is sent to the court, it must first be checked by Zhongshu Sheng, Shi Hao, Ye Yong and others before deciding whether to report to Zhao Shen, just like the battle report in Xiangyang.
As for Fengxiang Mansion, where Shen Tang is located, in addition to the normal transmission, there are also people from the Imperial City Division who were personally sent there by Zhao Shen.
The role of these people is to convey the news between the court and Shen Tang as quickly as possible, so as to pay attention to and discuss the war situation.
This kind of message transmission, coupled with the methods of the Imperial City Division, is naturally much faster than normal message transmission.
"My ministers, please leave first!"
Shi Hao took the initiative to speak.
The affairs of the Imperial City Division and the news delivered are the secrets of the emperor Zhao Shen. Even as the prime minister, he is not suitable here.
"My dear friends, please wait a moment!"
Zhao Shen waved his hand, "This should be the Fengxiang Mansion battle report. Please take a look at it first, and you will have a good idea!"
While he was talking, Wang Quan had already taken the secret letter!
After opening it, Zhao Shen took the secret letter in his hand! After looking at it for a moment, Zhao Shen suddenly stood up and said, "Hahaha, good! What a Shen Tang! Good, good, good..."
"Your Majesty, there is another good news coming from Fengxiang Mansion!"
Diao Hongxin couldn't restrain his curiosity and took the initiative to ask questions.
Zhao Shen laughed loudly again, "Come, come, come, gentlemen, take a look, this time, it's not just a good news!"
Wang Quan took the secret letter and handed it to Shi Hao first!
Shi Hao lowered his head to watch, and a smile appeared on his face after a moment! Victory! Big victory! A surprise attack on Ziwu Valley, the Jin soldiers surrendered and retreated!
"My congratulations to Your Majesty! Your Majesty has great power and a general who can fight! The Song Dynasty will be prosperous!"
With that said, Shi Hao handed the secret letter to Wang Quan, then paid homage to him!
If you don’t flatter the emperor now, how long will you have to wait?
Ye Yong's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to take the secret letter. Not long after, his face turned pale and he also prostrated to the ground, "Congratulations to your Majesty!"
Diao Hongxin looked at the information in the secret letter and admired Shen Tang even more in his heart! The secret letter was extremely detailed and described everything that happened on the battlefield. He could barely be considered a knowledgeable person. Naturally, we can appreciate the power of Shen Tang! His own soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty were actually able to defeat the Jin soldiers head-on?
This is simply anecdotal!
"Minister, congratulations to Your Majesty. Your Majesty's civilized martial arts will be a blessing to all people in the world! The prosperous age of the Song Dynasty has come, and this is the cover of the Holy King's presence in the world! It is a great honor for me to be able to witness it! This history book should record the arrival of the Holy King in this world. Our Song Dynasty is comparable to the mighty Han Dynasty and the prosperous Tang Dynasty..."
"Dear ladies, get up quickly, get up!"
Zhao Shen paced very quickly and rubbed his hands vigorously, as if this was the only way to suppress the joy that was about to burst out of his heart!
He knew Shen Tang's ability, and he also knew that Shen Tang might win this battle, but when the victory came suddenly, his mind went blank!
The two sides mobilized nearly 100,000 main troops to fight fiercely, and the Song Dynasty actually won! What a blessing this is?
How can this be?
If it weren't for the extremely detailed description on the letter and the seal of the Imperial City Secretary, he would have even thought that someone was joking with him!
What is Zhao Shen’s greatest wish?
Restore the homeland and make the Northern Expedition to Bianzhou! However, all the enthusiasm back then failed!
Now, Shen Tang has brought him the greatest and most intuitive hope! Although, he also knows very well that the victory of this battle does not mean that the overall strength of the Song Dynasty exceeds that of the Jin Kingdom, nor does it mean that the Northern Expedition can immediately The trip was successful, but at least at this moment, his confidence was unprecedented!
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about the critical situation in Xiangyang City!"
Shi Hao spoke again, "According to the secret letter, Shen Tang led nearly 30,000 troops to rush to Xiangyang five days ago. I'm afraid they will arrive in Xiangyang within a few days! As long as Shen Tang arrives in Xiangyang, with Shen Tang's ability, Xiangyang will be in crisis." No worries, Your Majesty can also feel at ease!"
"Not bad!"
Zhao Shen nodded repeatedly, "I have Shen Tang, which is enough to serve as the Jin Kingdom's 100,000-strong army! With Shen Tang going there, why worry about Xiangyang?"
"Hahaha..." As he said this, he couldn't help laughing again. For a moment, all the depression during this period was swept away.
"Royal Quan, prepare some wine for me! How can we live without wine in this situation?
My dear friends, would you be honored to have a few drinks with me?"
