1354 Questioning

Although Han Yanjia has always been honest and honest, serving the country and the people, and his status as a royal relative, he often can grasp the right position whether in court or personal affairs.

However, because of Xie Shenfu's friendship and Xie Shenfu's concern for the northward movement of the imperial capital, he was quite touched by him, although he was worried about the imperial court, when the crisis of the imperial court had not yet fully emerged, Han Yanjia, who had always been steady, did not intend to make such a conclusion in his heart.

What's more, Han Yanjia admired and worried about the person King Ye Qing of Yan. After all, no matter how prestige he has in the court today, in addition to being a royal relative, there is another reason that the King of Yan also has a good impression of him.

When Han Ying was able to marry into the palace by the sage Zhao Kuo and become the queen of the Song Dynasty, it is said that Ye Qing was inseparable from the connection between him at that time. Although Xie Shenfu's granddaughter Xie Daoqing was the real matchmaker, according to the queen Han Ying, Ye Qing also played a great role in it at that time.

Therefore, not public or private, Han Yanjia still has a fundamental difference from Xie Shenfu in his position on the matter of King Yan.

Today, on the way to the court, he had already made up his mind. No matter how Xie Shenfu encouraged him, he would not intend to speak in front of Zhao Kuo today, and would not attack King Ye Qing of Yan for Xie Shenfu.

The Song Dynasty was able to have the current situation, as long as it was not blind and had a scale in its heart, it must be clear that the reason why the Song Dynasty has expanded its territory and has once again become stronger and even surpassed the Song Dynasty at its heyday was almost all because of Ye Qing alone.

In Han Yanjia's view, the reason why Xu Yi, He Zhan, Li Bi, Yang Zhongfu and others were willing to follow Xie Shenfu into the palace to meet Zhao Kuo, and then expressed their concerns about the court and the King of Yan, was nothing more than thinking about his career.

Today, the Song Dynasty is in peace. Whether it is local officials or generals in various armies, it is extremely difficult to achieve promotion in the official career at the end of the Northern Expedition of King Yan.

What's more, as the court moved the capital from Lin'an to Yanjing, it meant that the court's focus and attention gradually moved northward. In this way, in addition to the many officials in the capital, the local officials in the south must be increasingly ignored. Officials from all over the north who were originally raised by stepmothers naturally became popular after the imperial capital moved northward.

After all, the imperial capital moved north, which means that no matter how Yan King covered the sky with his own hands in the north, he still had to take into account the face of the court. In the appointment, removal and promotion of some local officials, although the Yan King still had great say in the appointment, removal and promotion of officials, after the capital moved north to Yanjing, he still had to have some rights to the court.

Moreover... Although the emperor did not make it clear and the Yan Palace did not announce it to the world, there has been rumors in the officialdom. A few days ago, the Yan King Ye Qing personally wrote a secret letter to the emperor Zhao Zhao. No one knew the details of the secret letter except the Yan King and the emperor, but some of the contents were still circulated, that is, the appointment, removal, promotion, and call of officials in the northern region. The Yan King promised the emperor that the emperor could do whatever he wanted.

This news was like a thunder and instantly exploded in the officialdom, especially the officials from all over the north, who had to secretly start to weigh their careers and positions. When the officials from the south received the news, they instantly turned their attention to the dispatch of several large prefectures in the north. Some officials who were originally dispatched in the Xiaozhou Prefecture in the south also began to turn their attention to other prefectures in the north for the sake of their career because of the news that the court was about to move the capital north, or directly focused on the capital Yanjing.

In short, the government moved its capital, and the wind was not enough to cause waves, so it would rather believe that it had an official creed rather than not, so officials from both the north and the south could not help but start to plan their own way of retreat and weigh their positions in private.

However, because of Ye Qing's prestige and power in the north, and almost all the North were recovered by Ye Qing, officials from all over the country were almost appointed by Ye Qing, so compared with the shocks in the south, the aftermath of the officialdom in the south, the aftermath of the north was naturally much smaller.

What's more, Ye Qing, for you, over the years, whether you lead troops to fight on the battlefield or fight with others in the court, the final result was a final victory. Even the royal family suffered a considerable loss in front of Ye Qing, but there was only one person who was promoted and received attention from the court because of his opposition to Ye Qing.

This person is naturally Xie Shenfu who is talking to Zhao Kuo now, and Xu Yi, He Zhan, Yang Zhongfu and others came to Yanjing early from the south, in addition to being accused of being under Xie Shenfu's disciple, they naturally hope that when the court moved the capital north and the center of gravity began to move north, their career path would be as smooth as before.

Xie Shenfu is the only official in the court who offended Ye Qing and ended up having a good ending. In the eyes of Xu Yi and others, this was a different feeling. It also seemed like a reminder to them and showed them a chance to oppose Ye.

The shortcut to the promotion of the career after youth.

It has to be said that these people, including Xie Shenfu's little abacus, were all seen by Han Yanjia, but because of their friendship and face, he could not make all these problems clear.

Moreover, this is inconsistent with his style of conduct. Over the years, Han Yanjia has been able to put his position clearly and clearly that the reason why he is now trusted and valued by the court is actually closely related to his queen's daughter.

Zhao Kuo's expression was a little bit difficult to understand, and the voices of others led by Xie Shenfu were always in his ears. He formed a clique for personal gain, power over the sky, pretended to be public and private, had great achievements to shock the master, levy and levy, fish and people, and other words that had obvious rebellion, all rushed towards Zhao Kuo's ears one by one.

Zhao Kuo cleared his voice several times, until the sound could be heard in every corner of the hall, Xie Shenfu and others gradually became quiet. Because of Han Ying's request, Zhao Kuo's eyes did not stop much when he swept over Han Yanjia, and did not take out the sensitive topic today to ask Han Yanjia's opinions.

When the eyes of several people in the hall were staring at Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo slowly spoke: "Mr. Xie and all the masters said, there is conclusive evidence? Are the people in Yanjing really talking about the King of Yan like this? Officials from all over the north, including Jinan Prefecture, Taiyuan Prefecture, etc., really, as you said, have you been dissatisfied with the King of Yan?"

Xie Shenfu's expression was slightly stunned, and then he said with a thorn in his mouth, "Return to the emperor, every word that I said is true. These are all what I saw and heard in Yanjing with my own eyes. Xu Yixu, Li Bi, and Yang Zhongfu, from Lin'an to Yanjing, took the land route from Lin'an to Yanjing by land, especially after entering the north, every place I heard... it can prove that the King of Yan formed a clique in the north and made private interests and was arbitrary and authoritarian. As for the excessive taxation, the emperor must have heard of it. No matter whether he was Shi Miyuan or Shi was still there.

At that time, Han Tuozhou was still there, they had strongly opposed Ye Qing's autocracy for the promotion and transfer of officials in northern China. In addition, the court could not interfere in tax matters in various prefectures and governments. They were all determined by the King of Yan. In this way, after the court was less controlled by the court, how could the King of Yan miss such a great opportunity to make money? Those officials promoted by the King of Yan were even more in love with the King of Yan. In order to please the King of Yan's favor and value, they searched for many rare treasures in the local area...."

Before Xie Shenfu finished speaking, Zhao Kuo could no longer listen. He sat on the dragon chaise and rubbed his temples and smiled helplessly, saying, "These evidences... why do I hear them well? I remember that among Shi Miyuan's crimes and Han Tuozhou's crimes, it seems that they are all evidences? So Lord Xie means that the King of Yan committed the same crimes as Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou?"

"Sage, who have been able to cover the sky with only one hand in the court in the past dynasties, aren't those who are blinded by power and desires, and thus do great deviants? It is undeniable that the King of Yan has made contributions to our Song Dynasty court, but the court also gave the King of Yan the right and prestige. These are probably the reasons why the King of Yan was blinded. I have no grudges with the King of Yan, so I shouldn't have attacked the King of Yan like this, but I have eaten the court's salary and loyalty to the royal family.

At this critical moment, even if you offend the King of Yan, you must report to the emperor that the current severe situation in our Song Dynasty is. Now the King of Yan has both power and prestige in the north, and no one can reach it. If the court does not control it in time, it may lead to the king of Yan Bu Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou. And if the prince controls the King of Yan at this moment, wouldn’t it be for the King of Yan? Let the King of Yan stop his horse?" Xu Yi was righteous and worried about the country and the people.

Zhao Kuo wanted to laugh when he heard this. No matter what they were doing, these people were so confusing, and stolen, without evidence, and even framed things. How did they say that they were so righteous, with no blushing and no beating?

"If there is no conclusive evidence and I will control myself and suppress the King of Yan at will, wouldn't it make the two of us disagree? Will this be beneficial to the court?" Zhao Kuo asked with a smile.

"As the saying goes, you will not be established. The King of Yan has been fighting in the south and north for many years. I think... it is time to enjoy your old age. What's more, you are in your prime and young and promising. If the King of Yan does not give up the power of the north for a day, how can the Lord show his literary and military strategies in the court?" Li Bi, who seemed to be as straight as Xie Shenfu, spoke at this time.

"Disagreement between the king and the minister will cause turmoil in the court." Han Yanjia, who had not spoken, couldn't stand it anymore. Before Zhao Kuo asked the others, he sighed and continued, "Now my Song Dynasty finally had a strong situation after the current strong situation after the King of Yan was in war. How could we easily destroy such a strong opportunity? Do you all want to relive the shame that the Jin Dynasty brought to me by the Song Dynasty?"

"Now the world is peaceful, how can there be a threat? What's more, the saint is young and capable, and both have good literary and martial arts. If the saint did not support the King of Yan, how could the King of Yan win in the Jin Kingdom with great power? Moreover, the saint conquers Dali, Luodian, and since Qi, it has proved that the saint can be powerful all over the world. Since Lord Han knew that now is the time when our Song Dynasty is once again strong, then it is natural.

It should be clear that the influence of powerful ministers on the court is no less than that of thousands of troops." Xie Shenfu snorted in dissatisfaction.

Han Yanjia ignored Xie Shenfu's glaring eyes and still looked at the steps of the dragon throne in front of him. He said calmly: "Mr. Xie said that the peace of the world is so clear that the lower officials cannot see it. However, the lower officials know that even if the Jin Kingdom is with Xia Kingdom, the Liao Kingdom was destroyed by the King of Yan, but... Now, in the north of our country, there is a grassland kingdom known as the Great Mongolian Kingdom. Isn't Lord Xie afraid that the imperial court has just suppressed the King of Yan, and will the grassland immediately drive troops south? At that time, once the King of Yan is in conflict with the emperor and ministers, who will resist the invasion of the grassland wolf? Lord Xie, are you Xu Yi, Li Bi, Yang Zhongfu and others?"

"A small grassland country, called itself the Great Mongolian Kingdom, can't the brave soldiers of the Song Dynasty fight against the south and north over the years still resist it? If we don't provoke them, they may have secretly called luck in their hearts." Xie Shenfu snorted coldly again.

Han Yanjia finally laughed disdainfully, and slowly turned around and looked at Xie Shenfu who glared at him, and said tit-for-tat: "Have you been to the grassland by Lord Xie? Can you see how the Mongols who have gone without a trace plundered the people on my border? Lord Xie knows how big the grassland is in the north? Do you know that tens of thousands of troops entered the grassland, like a lonely boat sailing on the sea, how difficult it is to find a lonely boat in the vast sea?"

Faced with Han Yanjia's questioning, Xie Shenfu moved his lips and did not speak, and the dissatisfied Han Yanjia had accumulated on his chest. At this time, he was unreasonable and looked around Xu Yi and others, and continued: "Does Xie know that now in Changling, which is only a hundred miles away from the Ruzhou Pass, our imperial army is stalemate with the Mongols? Does Xie know that Yanjing is now cold, and the grassland is even more terrible with the cold wind like a knife and snowflakes like goose feathers?"

"Sitting in a warm study to see the world, it is understandable to talk about the court, but if you judge the guesses you imagine as facts, you will be laughing at the face of the people of the world. Lord Xie obviously does not understand that when the Mongolians on the grassland do not have a bit of food to fill their stomachs in the cold winter and have no clothes to keep warm, and have to live with cattle, sheep and horses in the smelly cattle and sheep pen, their minds will become hard in the cold winter, and they will not know that for a bite, they will really... kill people, for a sheep, a cow, and brothers can

With swords and guns, such a barbaric herdsman citizen, Lord Xie may not know that once they are on the back of the horse, their strength will be far greater than that of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, the subordinates have to remind Lord Xie that if the emperor and the king and ministers of the Yan Dynasty are incompatible because of your slander and frame the King of Yan, then it will be an excellent opportunity for the Mongols who are seeking to survive in the severe cold. At that time, Lord Xie, you cannot afford this consequence. Not only will you become a sinner of the Song Dynasty, but you will also become a sinner of the Chinese nation!"

"Han Yanjia, you..." Xie Shenfu's black face turned red. Looking at Han Yanjia's face without fear, his outstretched arms trembled violently in the air, but he didn't know how to refute Han Yanjia.

After all, what Han Yanjia said was his weakness. Since the beginning of autumn in Yanjing, the weather has become colder. Xie Shenfu and others are a little reluctant to walk out of Yanjing City to understand the people's conditions, so what they do almost every day is to discuss and guess the general trend of the world in the warm study, rather than using their own eyes and ears to personally experience the general trend of the world.

Only when entering the palace, during these days, is Xie Shenfu and others willing to walk out of the warm study. Even so, there is also a stove on their carriage, for fear that the coldness of the north will be contaminated by their clothes.

"Sage, although the Jin Kingdom has fallen, it is not the time for us to relax. It is not the time for celebration. The horses are released from the south mountain and swords and guns are in the warehouse. How many years has the King of Yan not returned to Yanjing? Lord Xie Shenfu, how long has it been since he left Yanjing? How many cold winters have the King of Yan spent in the north? Lord Xie was in the north again. I really experienced the northwest wind in the wilderness in a cold winter. How did the people and horses blow back? Lord Xie had ever experienced the northwest wind in the wilderness in a cold winter.

Have you ever seen how hard it is to march in the snow that is waist-deep? Does Lord Xie know what frostbite look like? Does Lord Xie know that in winter, King Yan will develop frostbite like other ordinary soldiers? I'm afraid Master Xie doesn't know about these? If King Yan intends to rebel and is ruthless, how could he let the emperor be in Yanjing..." Han Yanjia asked in a series of questions in response to Xie Shenfu's glaring eyes.

Zhao Kuo interrupted Han Yanjia's questioning in time and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Han, don't make things difficult for Lord Xie, please step back, I want to be alone and calm down."
