Chapter 141 Song Tingyi, Xiangyang Incident

The next day, in the morning court, with a sharp voice of "releasing something, leaving the court without anything", the giant Song Dynasty began its operation for a day.

An official stepped out, waiting to speak out.

A handsome man walked in from outside the hall, walked slowly forward, knelt in front of him, and said loudly: "The ministers have a memorial."

The arrogant Song Lizong smiled and said, "Your family is not in good health. I have issued an order to let you rest for a few days. Why should you go to court in a hurry? Is there something important?"

Ding Daquan said righteously and sternly: "Your Majesty, I am the leader of all officials, and it is of great importance. How can I leave my post without permission? Therefore, I can only bear the grace of the Holy One."

Song Lizong stared at him for a while and laughed: "Ding Aiqing is loyal and righteous, I know it. Your family is not in good health, so sit down beside you."

Ding Daquan did not get up, and knocked a few loudly, and said, "No matter how small the affairs of the country are, it is a matter of the country. No matter how big the affairs of a person are, it is a matter of the country." After saying that, he took out the memorial, raised it above his head, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have a hundred thousand urgent matters here, which is really undespite."

"Oh?" Song Lizong was slightly surprised and smiled, "Come on."

The eunuch general manager Wang Hongyan took the memorial and respectfully handed it to Song Lizong. Lizong opened it casually, looked down at ten lines at a glance, and his expression became more and more serious. After a while, he closed his eyes with a "bang". His eyes were burning, and he looked at Ding Daquan like an arrow and said, "Has the Qing family always opposed war? Why do you care about Xiangyang's defense this time?"

The ministers were uproared and really suspected that Ding Daquan had taken the wrong medicine. They all looked at Ding Daquan with a solemn expression with strange eyes.

Ding Daquan looked sad and said sadly: "I was guilty of death. I was deceived by others in the past and believed that Xiangyang had the danger of the Han River, which was as stable as Mount Tai. But a few days ago, I accidentally opened the map and found that my Song Dynasty was only an isolated city in Xiangfan in Jiangbei. I was extremely sad. On the one hand, I regretted that the people in the north were poisoned by Mongolia. The other was worried about Xiangfan's defense. We need to know that Xiangfan is not only the only nail in Jiangbei, but also the front line of counterattacking Mongolia. Once this city is lost, the Song Dynasty will face the danger of the Yangtze River. If we use ships to transport troops to counterattack in the future, we are also worried that Mongolia will attack half a minute, and if we think hard, we will not be able to get sick."

Ding Daquan, who used to be like a big fat pig, is now so thin. Long Xin has believed it most of it and sighed: "What is the crime of your family? It's a pain to your family."

Ding Daquan said again: "For the sake of the country and the country, I am not willing to die, and I will not have to worry about minor illnesses. I only hope that the king's army will set foot in front of my tomb on the north side of the Central Plains. I will also drink a few drinks in the underworld. Your Majesty, General Lu from Xiangyang sent me a suggestion yesterday, but I dare not make any mistakes, so I will delay the illness to court today, which will insult the power of heaven. I hope Your crime will be reduced."

Song Lizong was very happy and said with a smile: "Ding Aiqing is worried too much. You have worked hard for the country, and I am not happy yet! Please sit down with peace of mind." He looked at the military officers beside him and said: "You are familiar with military tactics and understand the war. The memorials are accompanied by suggestions from Lu Wende and Ding Qing's family. You can pass them on to see if it is feasible."

Wang Hongyan took the memorial and handed it to a tall and mighty general. The general looked at it and looked very happy. Then he passed it down and let the generals read it one by one. Finally, the general said: "Your Majesty, Xiangfan City is not important, just as Lord Ding said, Xiangfan must be controlled by our Song Dynasty. At present, the Mongolian Tartars are ready to move, and their intentions are known to the world. There are more than one million Mongolians who control strings. If Mongolia goes south, it is impossible to defeat the control of Xiangfan alone. General Lu suggested that another city should be set up in a dangerous situation and form a horn with Xiangfan. I think it is feasible. Not only that, I also suggested that Your Majesty invest supplies and strengthen the city defenses of Xiangfan and Xiangyang. Only in this way can the Mongolian cavalry be held and the wings of Xiangyang are broken again."

Song Lizong nodded and asked Ding Daquan: "Ding Aiqing, what do you think?"

"I'm going to discuss it." When Ding Daquan thought of Li Haoran's words, did he agree with the suggestions of the pro-war faction at first sight?

Song Lizong laughed loudly and said, "You are loyal and hard to have the same opinion. I feel comforted. I am very happy. It is not that Ding Aiqing discovered the importance of Xiangyang in time, but that everyone is united. You, my king and ministers are united. What are the mere Mongolian Tatars afraid of? I immediately drafted an order to order Lu Wende to build the Xiangfan New City." He looked at the generals and said, "Meng Qing family, you once managed Xiangyang. How many soldiers do you think the new city is needed to establish? "

A military general in the middle said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I am so frank, I am facing Mongolia in the Song Dynasty, and of course the more soldiers the better. In my opinion, at least 40,000 elite soldiers must be sent."

Song Lizong thought for a while and said happily: "As far as my dear said, I wonder if the general can have a suitable general?"

General Meng said: "There is a person in my heart named Li Tingzhi. This person is mature and polite, and has outstanding military and political strategies. I am ashamed of myself."

Song Lizong said happily: "Meng Qing's family is my Optimus Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty. The person you like so much must be not ordinary people. He immediately appointed Li Tingzhi as the deputy commander of Xiangyang, and led 40,000 imperial guards to Xiangfan immediately to assist Lu Wende in establishing a new city as soon as possible and stationing it in the middle."

...

Li Haoran, who was in Hangzhou, heard the news immediately at noon and was silent for a while. He looked up at the sky and sighed calmly: "History has changed unknowingly."

Cheng Ying was confused, but seeing that he seemed unwilling to explain, he didn't ask and forgot about it for a moment.

The two walked on the streets and headed straight toward Xiaoyao Villa. The matter in Hangzhou was happening. Except for Li Qiu in the deep palace, Li Haoran had nothing to worry about here, but he didn't believe in Ding Daquan very much, so he wanted to ask Chen Hanqing to help him keep an eye on Ding Daquan and pay attention to the personnel changes in the court. Of course, he would also take a look at the two cute little sisters Anxiang Shuying.

At Xiaoyao Villa, Chen Hanqing sat alone in Xiaoyao Pavilion with a bitter face. The tea in his hand was cold early, and it was not known. He had received the news that Li Haoran came to Hangzhou. However, the matter of Li Haoran's order to collect information was not completed yet. Thinking of the big words that day, he had accomplished nothing now, and he felt ashamed to see others.

A moment later, his subordinates sent a message claiming that Li Haoran was two miles away in front of the village.

Chen Hanqing sighed, put down the teacup, quickly calmed down, stood up to greet him. When he arrived at the Dezhuang Gate, he had already seen the handsome face from afar, and went forward and whispered: "Subor Chen Hanqing welcomed the young master."

Li Haoran looked at him and saw that he looked sad and seemed to have something difficult to deal with. He was shocked and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Chen is polite. Judging from Uncle Chen's complexion, there seems to be something difficult to deal with? Could something major happened in Xiaoyao Villa?"

Chen Hanqing smiled bitterly and said, "There is nothing wrong with Xiaoyao Villa, but the things arranged by the young master before the New Year have not yet been resolved. The subordinates feel deeply ashamed and have no face to face the trust of the young master."

Li Haoran was stunned and smiled and said, "There are so many things in the court, and there are no people there, so it is understandable that Uncle Chen is not clear about it. As long as Uncle Chen is doing his best, the more suspicious the relationship is, the more he will be, the more he will be, the more he will be searched down according to his own ideas. After all, what I want is a detailed piece of information, not vague news."

Chen Hanqing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There is some news, but it is all about the past. Do the young master need to read it?"

Li Haoran shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it when we go back to the village!"

Chen Hanqing suddenly woke up, smiled embarrassedly, and quickly invited them to enter Xiaoyao Pavilion to take a seat.

Li Haoran looked at Chen Hanqing, who looked particularly uneasy, and smiled and said, "Uncle Chen, since the current information is not accurate, I won't read it, so as not to let me make mistakenly judge some personnel and affairs. Let's talk about it after you confirm the authenticity of it! This matter is coming, in addition to wanting to see you, I also want Uncle Chen to pay more attention to Ding Daquan and Jia Sidao. Compared with Ding Daquan, Jia Sidao is even more hateful. You have to be careful of this person. Jia Sidao is very hidden. I suspect that his origin is not only so innocent now. Concubine Jia has been in the palace for many years, so why has he only exposed to the water now? If he is saying that he is indifferent to fame and fortune, it is obviously not, because he is currently disturbing court officials. I hope Uncle Chen focuses on Jia Sidao, who he interacts with, and thoroughly find out the authenticity of his identity."

Chen Hanqing said heavily: "This time, I will live up to the trust of the young master."

Li Haoran smiled and asked, "Where are those two girls? Are they working hard?"

Speaking of Anxiang Shuying, Chen Hanqing was excited. He smiled and said, "They are very serious and make rapid progress. They said they should work hard to learn peerless martial arts and help the young master fight bad people at that time! They have broken through a bottleneck and are practicing hard behind closed doors. It may take some time to get out of seclusion."

"That's it! It seems that I can't see them this time. In order to avoid Susu's worry, I will go back to Xiangyang tomorrow." Li Haoran felt a little regretful, but when he thought of Duan Susu who was looking at Qiushui, Lu Wushuang was unwilling to stay here for too long.

Chen Hanqing said in surprise: "So anxious?"

"Yes!" Li Haoran sighed lightly and told him what he had done recently.

Chen Hanqing suddenly said happily: "Young Master, do you mean the world?"

Li Haoran was stunned. He had never thought about this. He smiled bitterly and said, "I really never thought about this. I just watched the people wandering and thinking about where they were. The Mongolians were cruel and inhumane. That's why I used to think that the world was the whole country. Later, when I saw the cruelty of Mongolia with my own eyes, I realized how naive the idea was at that time."

Chen Hanqing said after a while: "It's important, so I won't try to keep the young master."

That night, Li Haoran lived in Xiaoyao Villa and discussed some trivial matters with Chen Hanqing.

It was late at night and he came to the palace again and asked Li Qiu about many things. He did not leave until the darkness before dawn came. The next day, Li Qiu, who had lived in the palace for many years, suddenly disappeared. Even Wang Hongyan, who had a great power, did not know where he was going.
