Song Emperor Jiangshan

After Xiao Shan left the capital, he first went to Xinyang to hand over the defense. Zhang Xiaoxiang was very happy with Xiao Shan's promotion, and had a drink with him before returning home. But what made Xiao Shan a little strange was that Wu Luan, who should be the most happy this time, actually Seems to be a little depressed and moody.

Xiao Shan was almost carried back to his room. While he was on the way, he had already heard about Zhao Yuan's empress ceremony. Along the way, people kept talking about the character and appearance of the new empress, who must be very much loved by Zhao Yuan. , so that she would suddenly fly from an unknown court lady to a branch, and become the mother of the world.

Xiao Shan heard this kind of discussion, and felt very uncomfortable in his heart, but it was impossible for him to jump out and say something. At the farewell banquet, after finishing the business, the content of the conversation became this kind of capital gossip.

Zhang Xiaoxiang was a little curious: "General Xiao, you used to work in the Prince's Mansion of Pu'an County, you should have seen this new queen, right?"

Xiao Shan didn't want to answer this question, he poured cup after cup of yellow soup, his eyes became hazy after a while.Seeing that Xiao Shan was drunk, Zhang Xiaoxiang persuaded him: "Brother Zhengping, you are drunk, go back and rest earlier."

Like all drunk people, Xiao Shan insisted on retorting with his tongue out: "I'm not drunk, why are you afraid that I'll make you poor?"

After another two jars of wine, Xiao Shan was already drunk, he could only walk sideways or diagonally, but he couldn't walk along the road.

Wu Luan was going to send Xiao Shan back, Xiao Shan pushed away Wu Luan who came up to support him, and said with some annoyance: "Don't worry about it, I'll go back by myself!"

In the end, he only found his own yard door, but he didn't find his own bed at all, so he slept on the ground in the yard.

Xiao Shan woke up in the middle of the night, opened his eyes and found that he had changed all his clothes, shoes and socks, lying on a clean and comfortable bed, the room was lit like beans, and Wu Luan was sitting beside him.

Xiao Shan was a little surprised, and sat up from the bed: "You brought me back?"

Wu Luan didn't speak, Xiao Shan felt that the atmosphere in the room was a bit dull, he was tired again, and he didn't bother to pay attention to him, he fell on the bed and prepared to continue to sleep, after a while, he found that Wu Luan hadn't left, and said: "I'm fine , go back to sleep by yourself. From now on, Xinyang City will be handed over to you, strengthen your guard, train diligently, and don’t neglect it.”

Wu Luan didn't leave at all, and asked without thinking: "Did the general get his wish?"

"What?" Xiao Shan was puzzled, "Transferred to Jiankang? I prefer to stay here. After all, I have been in business for many years, and it is a pity to give up. That's why I asked you to replace me. Maybe some weapons will be sent by the imperial court after a while. It may also call you back for training..."

Wu Luan said: "The general once asked me what to do between men and men. I don't know what happened afterwards."

Xiao Shan didn't know how Wu Luan's head grew. He would ask this now, but he didn't want to answer such personal questions, so he said, "This has nothing to do with you, right? Besides, I just asked casually that day, and I didn't intend to do it." What."

"So the general is very sad now?" Wu Luan didn't intend to avoid the topic, "The general seems a little sad after His Majesty became empress."

Xiao Shan was a little bit annoyed, he was very upset that someone exposed his mind, he got up and grabbed Wu Luan, trying to drag him out of the door, but unexpectedly Wu Luan was not as easy to catch as he imagined, Xiao Shan woke up from a hangover, It didn't take much strength in the hand, but the opponent broke free.

Wu Luan pointed to the red porcelain bottle on the table: "This is something from the palace. I found it when I was helping you change your clothes just now. I didn't intend to pry into the general's private affairs."

Xiao Shan was completely angry, and slapped the table: "Get out!"

But Wu Luan didn't leave, instead he stretched out his hand to close the door that was blown open by the night wind: "I will do better than him, at least I won't marry a wife and make you sad." Xiao Shan heard this sentence suddenly, Frozen on the spot, it took a while to realize what Wu Luan meant.

Xiao Shan was a little annoyed: "I'm not interested in you. I've never heard what I said tonight. You shouldn't have any thoughts about it. It's impossible." He retreated and left, but he didn't expect Wu Luan to take a step forward, trying to pull Xiao Shan's arm.

This action completely irritated Xiao Shan, his voice was a little annoyed: "My surname is Wu, you won't leave until I beat you, will you?"

Wu Luan raised his head slightly, looked at Xiao Shan, and did not hide the emotion in his eyes: "I would rather be beaten than to know why."

Without further ado, Xiao Shan stepped forward and grabbed Wu Luan by the collar, raised his bowl-sized fist, and held it in mid-air. When he was about to fall, he saw Wu Luan tightly closed his eyes, trembling slightly.Xiao Shan maintained this movement for a long time, and Wu Luan's tears flowed down little by little. He still gritted his teeth and refused to take half a step back.

Xiao Shan sighed slightly in his heart, and slowly let go of his fists raised in mid-air, his voice softened a lot: "There is no reason, and I don't know why. I like him, no matter what he is, I still like him .I'm leaving tomorrow morning, and I won't see you again for a long time, so don't make any trouble before leaving."

Wu Luan's voice was a little hoarse and deep: "The general will know..."

It was only then that Xiao Shan discovered that Wu Luan had lost a lot of weight after not seeing him for several months, and his sharp chin seemed to be able to stab people.After such a fuss, his drowsiness was completely gone, and after a while, Xiao Shan said: "I was disturbed by you, I can't sleep anyway, let's go out for a walk together."

Xiao Shan put on his clothes, and Wu Luan followed behind him, the two of them walked on the street in the dark without speaking, and walked to the city wall before they knew it.

The two went up to the tower, Xiao Shan looked at the distance, it was dark and infinitely empty.After a while, Xiao Shan said: "After I leave, don't act rashly when you encounter something, and discuss it with Zhang Zhijun."

Wu Luan nodded in agreement, Xiao Shan said again: "There are not many cannon stones in the city, remember to prepare more."

The two talked one by one and nodded one by one, Wu Luan almost didn't speak the whole time, Xiao Shan saw that he looked tired, although he knew why, but he couldn't do anything to help him.After standing on the city wall for most of the night, the eastern sky began to slowly turn blue, and the sun rose.

At this moment, the majestic glow shot out from the sky, illuminating the armor on the two of them. Wu Luan turned his head slightly, and he could see Xiao Shan's handsome and resolute face. This face had appeared countless times in his dreams, but no matter how he No matter how hard you try, you can't get any closer.What the other party can accept is only himself as a comrade-in-arms, and what he can give is friendship, nothing more.

Wu Luan felt that his heart was contracting little by little, and it hurt a little, and his eyes were also a little hurt by the glow, but he refused to take his eyes off.Xiao Shan felt that Wu Luan was looking at him. He felt furious and anxious at first, and wanted to hit someone, but in the end he couldn't do it.He sighed, and said: "What happened last night and what you said, I will pretend that I haven't heard of it, so don't mention it again. I don't want to have nothing to do with you forever."

Wu Luan felt suffocated for a while. Although he knew the result a long time ago, when he heard Xiao Shan say it himself, he still felt a little hard to breathe.

"Yes, the general obeys." After a long silence, Wu Luan finally bowed to Xiao Shan, "It's time for the general to go."

Xiaoshan started from Xinyang, went down the river, and arrived in Jiankang after more than ten days.

Jiankang was the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, facing the great river and backed by heavy mountains, it can be attacked and defended, it is an important military fortress along the Yangtze River, and it is also an economic hub.Zhao Yuan transferred him here, which shows that he has great expectations for him.

The former commander of the Jiankang Mansion was old and retired, and Xiao Shan was newly appointed, so he was unfamiliar with everything. First, he checked the number of people under his control.

The garrison army under the control of Jiankang Mansion has a total of 1 people.According to the current establishment, it is already equivalent to a division.

Xiao Shan had never commanded so many people before, so naturally he didn't dare to be negligent. First, it took more than half a month to get familiar with the situation, and then he had to get familiar with his deputy and the generals under him. Everyone knew about Xiao Shan Xiangyang, even though he was only four Rank generals are a few levels worse than the previous second-rank control, but they dare not neglect.

One month after arriving in Jiankang, Xiao Shan went to see the soldiers he had commanded in the nearby Zhenjiang Mansion once. Li Huchen, Zhou Hong, and Jin Sheng were all very happy to see Xiao Shan return.Xiao Shan felt that Zhou Hong was also a strange creature. He was often defeated by the army, but he was not punished by the court at all. Instead, he stayed in Zhenjiang steadily.Of course, that was only when Zhao Gou was in power, but now that it's Zhao Yuan, I'm afraid this situation will change.

After getting acquainted with the Huaixi area for three months, Xiao Shan sent another letter to the imperial court, writing down the situation he had learned from the local area in detail. 10 people, but Xiao Shan checked and found that it was less than 6, and the food and salaries of a full [-] people were embezzled by generals at all levels.

Xiao Shan didn't intend to fight corruption here, Zhao Yuan had to do this kind of thing, he just proposed to strengthen the city, train soldiers, farm supplies and so on according to the local situation.During this period, Zhao Yuan also sent a few people over, all of whom were craftsmen from the Weapons Supervisor. Xiao Shan talked with them for a long time, and told them all the useful weapons he could think of. There were many details that he couldn't remember, after all, he It is not engaged in the manufacture of weapons, and can only be improved by relying on these craftsmen.

In view of the lack of horses in the Southern Song Dynasty and the difficulty of resisting the cavalry of the Kingdom of Jin, Xiao Shan hoped to improve the organization of the army. The number of cavalry in the modern army was not large.The long-range shooting weapons originally owned by the Song Army, such as muskets and bows with divine arms, are all good, with an effective range of hundreds of steps, similar to pistols of later generations.

The smelting industry is not well developed, but Xiao Shan remembers that there were tubular cannons in the Ming Dynasty, and he made three of them when he was in Xiangyang City.Now with the support of the Beijing Weapons Supervision, Xiao Shan hopes that they can make cannons that can be carried out with the army. If there are cannons that can be moved easily, then it is possible to form artillery.

The formation of such mixed arms, if used well, is enough to fight against the cavalry of the Jinren.

Half a year later, Zhao Yuan sent the first batch of newly developed munitions. Of course, there could not be rifles and submachine guns, but there were things like mortars and siege weapons that Xiao Shan dreamed of.

There are also a batch of hand grenades, earthen muskets, etc. According to the changes in weapons, Xiao Shan readjusted the configuration of various arms, and increased the infantry's mine-throwing and shooting training, and changed the existing [-] cavalry in Jiankang Mansion from charging to fighting Cover the flanks.

The navy of the Southern Song Dynasty has always been relatively strong, which is also the reason why the Jinren failed to go south many times. Xiao Shan was quite excited when he saw those warships four or five stories high, as well as various iron boats, troop carriers, and scout ships. In addition to the Jiankang area, there are also sea boats led by Li Bao, who was under Yue Fei in the past. After improvement, some large warships have installed tube-shaped cannons and become gun boats.

All these modification and development are absolutely confidential, and must be strictly prevented from being pirated by Wan Yanliang.Xiao Shan ordered people to strictly guard the defense line along the Yangtze River, and immediately drive away any suspicious personnel, and they must not be allowed to approach the place where troops are stationed and trained.And with the support of Zhao Yuan, a large number of spies were sent to Jiangbei to inquire about the news.

Xiao Shan was very busy in the Jianghuai area, and Zhao Yuan was not idle in the capital either. Since Zhao Gou stepped down, he started to make new personnel arrangements, dismissed the officials of the Zhuhe faction Tang Situi and others, and sent At that time, the former prime minister Zhang Jun, who was very famous and had been idle for a long time, invited back, and vigorously promoted Chen Kangbo, Chen Junqing, Yu Yunwen and others from the main combat faction.And open up Enke, recruit talents, assess officials across the country, reduce expenditures, and cultivate their own power.

The spies sent out by Xiao Shan were active, some of them were caught by Wan Yanliang, and some of them got the news back.A year passed in the blink of an eye, and it was midsummer again. Xiao Shan was checking this month's training records when he suddenly received news that a suspicious spy had been caught!

These days, because of the strictness of Xiao Shan's investigation, he has dealt with more than a dozen spies based on the principle that he would rather hurt a thousand by mistake than let one go. When he heard the news, Xiao Shan was not too surprised. bring in.

The people brought into the camp were the same as usual, with their hands bound and a hood over their heads. Xiao Shan looked up and saw that there were two people coming. , and the other one is only thirteen or fourteen years old. Although she is tall, she looks a little thin because she is in the developmental period.

Xiao Shan asked as usual: "What's your name, what are you doing here?"

The middle-aged man answered irrelevantly. Although he was wearing a hood, his voice was somewhat familiar: "Xiao Shan, are you that Xiao Shan from the Qin family's oil shop?"

Xiao Shan's life experience is not a secret, and many people know about it, Xiao Shan didn't take it seriously: "Yes!"

The middle-aged man became excited, and his tone changed: "You don't know me anymore? I'm Zhang Zhixiong!"

Xiao Shan began to try hard to remember, his name and voice were familiar, but who was Zhang Zhixiong?

The young man beside Zhang Zhixiong said a little unhappy: "Brother Zhang, why are you talking so much nonsense with him? You thought there was a hero in the south, but he turned out to be a coward who dares not even meet anyone!"

Xiao Shan was not offended by the boy's words, he just waved his hand, and the soldiers standing on both sides of the camp stepped forward and took off Zhang Zhixiong's hood.

As soon as Xiao Shan saw Zhang Zhixiong's face, he froze immediately, and Zhang Zhixiong grinned at Xiao Shan.

The two looked at each other for three seconds, Xiao Shan jumped up from the chair, rushed to Zhang Zhixiong, and shook his shoulder: "Third brother! It's you!"

The person who came was none other than Zhang San, the guy from the oil shop that Xiao Shan had met in the oil shop in Beijing when he was young!When Zhang San left Lin'an to go north, there was no further news after crossing the river. Before leaving, the two discussed his name, and Zhang San changed his name to Zhang Zhixiong. He was invited to sit down again and greeted people to have tea.

As soon as the guards in the Xiaoshan camp saw this, they knew that they had captured Xiao Tongzhi's friend, so they also stepped forward and hurriedly released the boy who came with Zhang Zhixiong.

The boy didn't sit down after untiing him, he just looked around, his face full of heroism.

Xiao Shan pointed at the boy and asked: "Third brother, this is... your son?"

Zhang Zhixiong laughed loudly: "Where did I get such a big son? This is a new kid I met. I occupied the mountains in Jiangbei and Shandong and became king. I took the opportunity to kill some golden men to vent my anger. I met this kid once when I went down the mountain. He said that he heard about my reputation and wanted to go up the mountain with me. After he lived on the mountain for two months, we heard that the governor of Jiankang Mansion was called Xiaoshan. It really is you!"

Xiao Shan and Zhang Zhixiong shook hands and smiled, Zhang Zhixiong greeted the young man: "Come on, come here, let me introduce you, this one is the Xiao Shan I mentioned to you." The young man looked Xiao Shan up and down.

Zhang Zhixiong pointed at the boy again and said, "His grandfather Xin Zan is now the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture."

Xiao Shan's face changed slightly, Kaifeng Mansion is now the site of the Jinren, the prefect of Kaifeng Mansion, isn't that an official of the Jinren?And it seems that the official position is not small, this young man may be a little tricky.

Zhang Zhixiong didn't notice what Xiao Shan was thinking, and continued: "Although his grandfather was an official in the Jin Dynasty, this kid has extraordinary ambitions. It's a good job to want to restore Heshan!"

Xiao Shan looked towards the boy, and at the same time, the boy was also looking at Xiao Shan.

Xiao Shan asked, "What's the name of this kid?"

The young man held his head high and held his chest high: "My surname is Xin, my name is Qiji, and I have met Xiao Tongzhi."

Xiao Shan silently read the boy's name in his heart - Xin Qiji, Xin Qiji! !

This is a celebrity that Xiao Shan has known since elementary school. When he was a child, he had a lot of poems in the exams, and Xiao Shan could memorize them casually: "Looking at the sword with a lamp in a drunk, dreaming back to the company with blowing horns, burning under the command of eight hundred miles, fifty strings The sound of turning over the fortress, the autumn battle field soldiers. Lu Feikuai of the horse, the bow is like a thunderbolt. The king's affairs are settled, and he has won the fame before and after his life. The pity happened for nothing."

Xin Qiji tilted his head to look at Xiao Shan, and said after a while: "If you want to be a king, it's good to win fame in life and death, but you are so young, where did you get your white hair? The words don't convey the meaning."

Xiao Shan laughed out loud, it was really a pleasant thing to have two friends here today.He immediately hosted a banquet, but he usually ate and lived with the soldiers, and the cost was the same. Now that the guests came, the hospitality did not include any delicacies from mountains and seas. It was just hares, fish caught in the river, and Some seasonal vegetables such as cabbage and sweet potatoes.

Xiao Shan and Zhang Zhixiong talked about their farewell, and they didn't eat much. Xin Qiji interrupted from time to time, clapping his hands and applauding when Xiao Shan killed Qin Hui, stuffing a rabbit's leg into his mouth, very refreshing.

When the banquet was withdrawn, Zhang Zhixiong said: "This time, we are not only here to recognize our relatives. We inquired about some news in the Kingdom of Jin, so we came here to report the news." The change, it was all confidential matter, Xiao Shan took a look at Xin Qiji, although this person was famous in history, but now he is only a boy of thirteen or fourteen, he was afraid that he would not be tight-lipped and would leak it out.

Zhang Zhixiong saw Xiao Shan's eyes, and said: "This is also the purpose of bringing him here this time, some news is still from him."

Xiao Shan said seriously, "Please tell me."

Zhang Zhixiong sighed, glanced at Xin Qiji, and Xin Qiji opened his mouth and slowly told the news he had received.His grandfather was the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture, and he could know more than the spies sent by Xiaoshan.

It turns out that Wan Yanliang recently ordered all craftsmen from all over the country to be recruited to build warships in order to strengthen the naval forces that have always been at a disadvantage in the Jin Dynasty; and it is stipulated that all men over the age of 25 and under the age of 50 from all walks of life will be registered in the military; Urge the general military offices of all walks of life to manufacture weapons, and share the cost with the common people; and forcibly collect taxes for five years in advance for military use.

He also ordered Xin Zan to step up the construction of Kaifeng's palace, which seemed to be intentional to position Kaifeng as a new capital.According to the construction period of the Kaifeng palace, the construction will be completed in autumn and September, and Wan Yanliang must move the capital to the south.

This time Wan Yanliang chose a time that was favorable for the Jin soldiers to fight, probably because he was determined to go south.

Xiao Shan was here with Zhang Zhixiong, and he confirmed the news he had received. He counted with his fingers. In history, Zhao Yuan was already 36 years old when Wanyan Liang went south in a big way. The butterfly's wings flapped in a mess.

What Xiao Shan didn't know was that since Wan Yanliang suffered a big loss in Xiangyang last time, he gritted his teeth and was frightened when he returned, and sent many people into Xiangyang City to investigate. Although he didn't get any secrets, he also knew about the killings. Xiao Shan rushed to make his own powerful weapon.

This impromptu rush to make four words made Wan Yanliang sleepless all night.Temporary rush to create is so powerful, if the Southern Song Dynasty is given a chance to breathe and let them produce on a large scale, wouldn't they be in danger?

Wan Yanliang couldn't sit still anymore, the previous tentative attack aroused his desire to do it thoroughly, the sooner he did it, the better!

After Xiao Shan and Zhang Zhixiong finished talking, Xin Qiji asked them what they were going to do. Zhang Zhixiong is now king of the mountain, and his team has two to three thousand people, which can be called a huge momentum.What Zhang Zhixiong meant was to go back by himself, and when the fight started, he would lead people to contact the rebels all over the Central Plains and harass Wan Yanliang's rear.

Xiao Shan felt that this approach was very good. Zhang Zhixiong wanted to go back after staying here for three days, because the other party had business to do, and he didn't want to stay too much. He just invited Xin Qiji to play for two more days.This young man is bold, generous and ambitious, which suits his taste very much.

Unexpectedly, when Xin Qiji heard that Zhang Zhixiong was going back, he also wanted to go back with him: "I want to go with Brother Zhang, I will go wherever he goes!"

Zhang Zhixiong reached out his hand to touch Xin Qiji's head, and said to Xiao Shan: "He has been with me for a long time this time, the adults in his family may have to look for him everywhere. Qiji is young, so it is inconvenient to leave home for too long."

Xiao Shan then ordered the two of them to be sent across the river, and then wrote a letter to Zhao Yuan, and also wrote his own speculation: "If there is no accident, Wan Yanliang may be going south this autumn, Your Majesty will make preparations early."

After Zhao Yuan received Xiao Shan's letter, he also received the news from other generals and envoys going to the Kingdom of Jin. It was only a matter of time before Wan Yanliang went south, and he should prepare for the battle as soon as possible to give him a head-on blow.

When Zhao Yuan was in court one morning, he told his ministers what he meant. In the southern dynasties, Jiankang was chosen as the capital city, not only because it was a military and economic city, but also because of its unique advantage of integrating offense and defense, and its proximity to The front line is more capable of responding quickly to the battle situation on the front line.It means to restore the Central Plains.Lin'an is located in the south, close to the sea, and Zhao Gou established the capital here purely for the convenience of escape.Now Wan Yanliang is preparing to invade the south and wants to move the capital to Kaifeng, which is close to the front line. He also intends to go to Jiankang to stay there.

This opinion was endorsed by most of the courtiers, especially Zhang Jun, who was in his fifties as a privy envoy, strongly supported the restoration of his official position.If someone agrees, there must be someone who opposes it. When Zhao Gou heard that Zhao Yuan wanted to move the capital to Jiankang before the Kingdom of Jin moved, Zhao Gou's lungs were almost swollen.

When Zhao Yuan went to Jiankang, he would definitely take away the ministers and the army, so wouldn't it be dangerous for him to be in Lin'an?If you go to Jiankang with him, don't even think about it, it's even more dangerous!

Opinions with Zhao Gou about other ministers cannot affect Zhao Yuan's decision, but there is one person who makes Zhao Yuan feel very embarrassed.

Among those who opposed Zhao Yuan's move to the capital, Shi Hao was the most opposed, even more fierce than Zhao Gou: "If your Majesty moves the capital to Jiankang, there will be no way out. Make up. Besides, the Jiankang Palace is simple and crude. Where will the officials go to live? Rebuild or live in the government office? Your Majesty will go to Jiankang, and the army will be stationed. Will the Taishangguan’s house be moved? If it is moved, it will be a big sum Call fee, if you don’t move, you have to send troops to guard Lin’an. If you don’t send troops, Wan Yanliang will break into Lin’an, what will the Supreme Official’s House, Empress Dowager, and Empress Dowager do?”

A series of questions did not make Zhao Yuan change his mind. He insisted on not letting go, and had already sent Zhang Jun to Jiankang Mansion to free up some houses and residences.

Zhao Gou saw that persuasion was useless, and it was useless to rush to scold. Not even the persuasion of Zhao Yuan's respected prime minister Shi Hao could change Zhao Yuan's mind, so he scolded anxiously at home every day.

In the midst of rushing to the doctor in a hurry, Zhao Gou had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly thought of a person who might be able to persuade Zhao Yuan to change his mind.He immediately wrote a letter in person, with more than a dozen pages, and ordered someone to send it to Xiao Shan quickly.

When Xiao Shan received Zhao Gou's letter, he was really puzzled. He was in Jiankang, and he didn't know what happened in Lin'an. Zhao Gou's more than ten pages of letters were all about how he was emperor when he was emperor. How he took care of Xiao Shan at that time, and how he misses Xiao Shan now.Some of the words were so disgusting that Xiao Shan had goosebumps all over his body.

After more than ten pages of letter paper, Zhao Gou summed up his above content: "Go back to Beijing immediately, come back alone, the sooner the better, if you don't come back, something big will happen!"

Xiao Shan was puzzled, but recently he had some things to discuss with Zhao Yuan, it was inconvenient for the two of them to write letters all the time, so he wrote a note, begging him to go back to Beijing.

Zhezi immediately approved the reply, Xiao Shan handed over the affairs in his hands to the deputy commander to take care of, and rode back to Beijing by himself.

He was going to meet Zhao Yuan first when he came back, but his horse was stopped by Zhao Gou as soon as he reached the gate of the city.

Four or five eunuchs from Zhao Goulin's De Palace were waiting for Xiao Shan outside the city gate, and when they saw him coming, they embraced him: "Xiao Tongzhi, the Taishangguan's family has been waiting for you for a long time. The food and drinks have already been prepared, and I look forward to it every day."

Xiao Shan finally heard some rumors these days, knowing that Zhao Yuan was going to move the capital to Jiankang, when he first heard the news, he was very happy, Zhao Yuan moving the capital to Jiankang meant that he could see him every day.But then he thought about it carefully, and felt that there were a lot of things wrong, but he never thought that Zhao Gou cut himself off halfway to talk about this matter.

In the past two years, Zhao Gou only cared about his own enjoyment, and he didn't care about the troublesome government affairs. His son came over every three days to greet him and accompany him.

Xiao Shan went straight to the point: "The officials from the Taishang's family have come here, do you have anything to explain?"

Zhao Gou sighed, and took Xiao Shan's hand as a sign of affection: "I have something I want you to do. He always listens to your persuasion the most. After thinking about it, only you can persuade him. gone."

Xiao Shan couldn't adapt to Zhao Gou's intimacy: "The Taishang officials want the minister to persuade His Majesty to do something?"

Zhao Gou shook his head: "Don't do anything. You have been in Jiankang for a year, so you should know what's going on there. The government wants to build the capital of Jiankang. It's just a whimsical idea!"

Xiao Shan said: "It's really not very suitable now, there is not even a place to live, and once Wan Yanliang calls, Jiankang will be too dangerous."

When Zhao Gou heard Xiao Shan's words, it was as if he had met a confidant, and he patted Xiao Shan's shoulder vigorously: "Zhengping, the matter of persuading the officials is up to you! Do it well, old man There must be a big reward!"

Cold sweat broke out on Xiao Shan's back, Zhao Gou didn't want to keep him anymore, and personally sent someone to send him to the palace.

When Xiao Shan was walking on the road, his heart began to beat irregularly, and he hadn't seen Zhao Yuan for a whole year.Has he changed this year, has he gained weight or suffered, is he happy?

Xiao Shan waited outside the Chongzheng Hall where Zhao Yuan worked, and a young eunuch went in to give a pass.

After a while, a familiar voice came from inside: "The commander of Jiankang, the fourth-rank loyal general Xiao Shan has an audience!
