On July 25, Wang Yuan and Liu? The two ministers arrived in Chang'an together...

At this time, Li Hu was in Mount Li. Prime Minister Li Gang accompanied them to meet with the emperor and the empress dowager, and immediately invited them to the East Prefecture and told the two ministers in detail all the recent events, especially the grand strategy of the court and a series of policies formulated around the grand strategy.

Wang Yuan and Liu listened quietly, but the waves in their hearts surged. Chang'an has changed so much that it can be described as earth-shaking. Especially Wang Yuan, he and Wang?, Zhao Ming were transferred from the Northwest Army. Although he was unwilling to do so, he carefully weighed the profits and returned to Chang'an quickly. Now that he heard Li Gang's statement, Wang Yuan couldn't help but be intimidated. If he publicly rejected Li Hu's orders, the consequences would be very serious. Today, Li Hu subverted the national policy and tried his best to win over the landlords and merchants to win their trust and help, which made his strength soar. The Northwest Army was no longer able to compete with him.

"There are two most important things for the court at present. One is to promote financial system reform and vigorously develop industry and commerce, and the other is to attack the Western Xia and regain lost territory in the western border."

When Wang Yuan heard this, he suddenly looked up, his eyes were hot, and he asked anxiously: "Will you fight immediately?"

Liu? was stunned. This time he was on a mission to Xixia, and his mission was to discuss peace with the Dangxiang people. In the past few months, he and the emperor and ministers of Xixia such as Li Qianshun, Li Chage, Liang Qishen had a difficult negotiation. With the successive victory of the Huli Army on the battlefield, they finally reached a covenant. Who knew that as soon as he stepped into the gate of Chang'an, the covenant in his hand turned into waste paper.

"We have the conditions to launch the Western Expedition?" Liu. asked in surprise, "The world is three points. Now the court's goal should be to make every effort to consolidate the results of the war. How can we take risks and start another war?"

"The King of Han has made up his mind and cannot be changed." Li Gangwang said seriously, "All decisions in the court revolve around the grand strategy. From the perspective of the grand strategy, we must eliminate the Dangxiang people as quickly as possible."

Liu? After staying for a long time, he felt that this decision was too ridiculous. How could the imperial court have the conditions to launch a Western Expedition now? "Even if you want to fight, you should attack the Southeast first." Liu? smiled bitterly, "Duke, if you fight the Southeast, the army can attack and plunder while attacking the Western Xia, but the money and food consume a lot of money and food. How did the imperial court raise so much money and food?"

"This is the one that's currently arguing about." Li Gang seemed to

I agree with Liu?'s opinion, "In the lobby, the prime ministers argued endlessly about the western expedition or the southern expedition, but the Han King's attitude was very firm. He had already asked the Bohai King Gao Baolong to return to Taiyuan and discuss the strategy of the western expedition with the Grand Governor Tieying and the Khitan King Yelu Mage. In addition, the princess is about to return to Chang'an. It is estimated that as soon as the princess comes back, the Han King will rush to Yan'an Prefecture and personally direct the battle."

Wang Yuan could no longer sit still. He wanted to participate in this battle, he was in the northwest. His biggest dream was to defeat Dangxiang people and conquer Helan Mountain in his lifetime. No matter what he wanted, he would return to the battlefield in the northwest and participate in the Western Expedition.

"My husband, I want to visit several envoys in the Western Palace."

Li Gang hesitated a little and stood up to see him off. When he walked to the corridor, Wang Yuan asked Li Gang to stay. At this time, he saw that Li Gang wanted to say something, as if he had something to say to him. Then he stopped and bowed slightly. Although he didn't say anything, his posture undoubtedly wanted to ask Li Gang to say it out.

Li Gang and Liu Zeng fought side by side on the battlefield in the Hebei region twice, and had a deep friendship. When Liu was in charge of the Hebei military, Wang Yuan served under his tent, and the two got along well. A few months ago, Li Gang joined forces with the people of Northwest to stop him.

Li Hu took the opportunity to seize the country's destiny and received a response from Wang Yuan. Although Wang Yuan was Liu Yanqing's old subordinate in the past, he was now full of wings and needed to establish his own relationship in the court. Li Gang and Liu? were obviously the best friends to make friends, so while Wang Yuan responded positively, he also successfully entered Li Gang's "circle".

Li Gang was very powerful in the court, and he also needed the power of military personnel to support him. A new generation of leading figures in the northwest like Wang Yuan was the excellent target he deliberately won over. This time, Li Hu transferred Wang Yuan out of the northwest not only to better control the Northwest Army, but also to weaken the strength of the Northwest generals. In addition, he also had the intention to curb the continuous expansion of the power of Li Gang, Liu Yanqing and others.

"The princess has a very great influence in the north." Li Gang said slowly after considering it, "It was under her command that the Taiyuan War achieved amazing results. After the Western Expedition began, Daibei needed a powerful figure to take charge, and the princess was the best candidate, but the King of Han invited the princess back to Chang'an."

Wang Yuan frowned slightly, and he already knew what Li Gang meant.

"The King of Han personally led the army to the west. Who will act as a state affairs?" Li Gangshou stroked his long beard, his face was solemn, and he didn't say anything more

Go down.

Wang Yuan knew it well. When the Han King went to the west, the princess was definitely the princess, not the prime minister Li Gang, which was enough to show that Li Hu no longer trusted Li Gang. This was normal. When the late emperor passed away, Li Gang joined forces with all the powers that could be used to prevent Li Hu from seizing the great Song Dynasty. The two sides inevitably entered into opposition. At this time, Li Hu would not let Li Gang act as a state affairs anyway and allow him to expand his strength unscrupulously.

"After the King of Han transferred you to the Central Plains, there are two arrangements. One is to let you serve as the left-behind Tokyo, and the other is to let you serve as the deputy envoy of the Central Plains Xuanfu. What about your personal opinions?"

A hint of anger suddenly appeared in Wang Yuan's eyes, but it disappeared instantly, replaced by bitterness and fear. Whether it was the staying in Tokyo or the deputy envoy of the Central Plains Xuanfu, the purpose was to deprive Wang Yuan of his military command. Li Hu was already determined to attack the real power of the Northwest generals, and Wang Yuan, who was in a high position and power, was obviously the first.

Li Gang's eyes were always staring at Wang Yuan, but to his disappointment, Wang Yuan's face was as calm as water, without any expression of joy and anger.

"The commander of the Central Plains Army is Yue Fei. That man is young and energetic, arrogant and domineering, you

It is not suitable to be his deputy." Li Gang sighed softly, "Songze, the left-behind in Tokyo, is old, and the King of Han has always wanted to transfer him back to the capital, so in my opinion, you should go to Tokyo. The King of Han may hope that you will take up the position of left-behind in Tokyo."

Wang Yuan nodded and bowed to thank him.

Li Gang was kind, worried that he would not see through the situation and would continue to stay in the army or even return to the northwest. However, now that Li Gang has been curbed, Li Hu was determined to drive Wang Yuan out of the army. If Wang Yuan continues to be obsessed with it, his future will be bleak. Li Gang did not want to see a powerful figure like Wang Yuan disappear, which would be a great loss for him.

Wang Yuan said goodbye to Li Gang and never thought of returning to the northwest to participate in the Western Expedition.

After Li Gang watched Wang Yuan leave, he felt a little moved.

Under Liu Yanqing's tent, Wang Yuan's record is the most prominent. He charges in the northwest battlefield, Jiangnan battlefield, Northern Expedition battlefield, and Hebei battlefield. A powerful general like Han Shizhong grew up step by step under Wang Yuan's caress, but now Han Shizhong is now

He became the general who was the only one, and Wang Yuan withdrew from the army in disgrace. The human experience was too mysterious. Yang Keshi rose rapidly in the Central Plains battlefield because of his loyalty to Li Hu, and now he has replaced Wang Yuan as the commander of the Northwest Army. On the contrary, Wang Yuan was in danger and his head might fall out at any time.

I immediately thought of myself, and the same was true. When the situation developed to this point, I and Li Hu became enemies. For the survival of the Song Dynasty, I must have had a fierce battle with him. If I wanted to win, besides accumulating strength, I could only pray for the help of God and the miracle, otherwise I would not be able to stop the defeat of the Song Dynasty.

This time, Princess Luo Sinan returned to Beijing and proved that his close cooperation with Li Hu for more than half a year was finally over. Li Hu first used the power to set up a joint-civilian government and divided the prime minister, and then set up a reform agency to divide the power of the East Prefecture. Later, he introduced the landlords and merchants into the court to further weaken the power of the three provinces. In this way, although Li Hu asked the prime minister to act as a state affairs after the Western Expedition, the power was actually controlled by Luo Sinan. Most of the courts today were Li Hu's people, and these people held key departments and real power. Who would be so stupid that they listened to the prime minister when Princess Luo Sinan was in Chang'an?

Li Gang looked up and sighed, as if he wanted to pour out the depression, grief and helplessness in his heart.

When he returned to the house, Li Gang and Liu talked in a casual manner. Liu was from Fujian, from Cai Jing, and from a firm new party and reformist faction. However, the Cai Jing and his group were surrounded by mountains and fought against each other. Liu was driven out of the capital like Yuwen Xuzhong because he opposed the Northern Expedition. After the Northern Expedition, he stayed in Zhending Prefecture, Hebei as a pacifier, but he ended up being a blessing in disguise and was not affected by the Cai Jing case.

Liu? is a studyer of the new study and the implementer of the new policy. He started from reality and neither supported the grand strategy nor the laissez-faire economic model. For this reason, he and Li Gang had a fierce argument. After a last slap in the table, he wanted to resign and leave, and he stopped.

"You are going to the southeast?" Li Gang asked.

Liu? Shakes his head. His younger brother Liu Gehua is an official in Hedong, and his son Liu Ziyu joins the army in Hedong. If he flees to the southeast, it will bring disaster to his relatives. "I am sixty years old this year. I resign, retire, return home, and live my life."

"Enjoy your youth?" Li Gang sneered, "In times of trouble, life is in troubled times, and China is dead. Li Fu is 75 years old, and Zong Ze is still working for the country at the age of seventy. You are going to go home to enjoy your youth at the age of sixty?"

Liu's old face turned red and he was ashamed.

"Do you know how the King of Han arranged for you?" Li Gang's eyes were like a torch and glared at him fiercely, "The King of Han asked the Emperor to take charge of the Emperor Pingzhang as a Hanlin scholar and serve as the Minister of the Secretariat to serve as the chief political affairs officer. The King of Han even regarded you as an important official in the country, and you actually want to resign and go home?"

Liu? was stunned and didn't speak for a long time.

"I know, you were unwilling to do it as early as when the King of Han invited Li Fu and took the Xinguan School as the official school of the Song Dynasty. Now the King of Han has used thunderous means to openly adopt the old party's arrangement in the reform of the financial system. Of course, you cannot accept it. However, you must know that we are from the Song Dynasty, Chinese, this is our country, our home, and millions of Chinese people are suffering here. Even if we are torn to pieces, we must continue to save China and save the Chinese people."

Liu? lowered his head and was speechless.

"You can oppose the reform strategy of the Han King, but you cannot abandon China or the Song Dynasty."

Liu? Smile bitterly, "Okay, I promise you, I'll stay." Then he sighed softly, "Bo Ji, I know what you are going to do, but the Han King is too strong."

"Is that true?" Li Gang suddenly smiled, "Don't you think his transformation strategy cannot be successful?"

Liu? raised his eyebrows slightly, suddenly realized, "Waiting for an opportunity?"

"If God blesses the Song Dynasty, then we will fight to protect the Song Dynasty." Li Gang's voice was a little hoarse, with a sense of desolation and helplessness. "If the Han King fails to reform and loses his strength, his internal strength will inevitably be divided, then we have a chance, otherwise..."
