Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Zhao Chen looked forward, only to see a person coming in the rain!

This person is not very tall, but his body is unusually strong! He has a plain face, and it is Yue Fei's elder brother Wang Gui!

"Brother Wang, why are you here? What's the matter?" Zhao Chen said.

"His Royal Highness, Li Gang, Master Li has just arrived, and is now waiting for His Highness in the Qing Palace!" Wang Gui said.

"Okay, I will return to the Palace of Qing Dynasty!" Zhao Chen nodded and said.

At the moment Zhao Chen was heading forward. The guards in the distance saw Zhao Chen walking and hurried over. They escorted Zhao Chen towards the direction of Qianqing Palace under umbrellas!

After Zhao Chen came to the Palace of Qianqing, he first repelled the guards, leaving Wang Gui by his side, and then he took Wang Gui into the house!

Li Gang was waiting for him in the house at the moment. Seeing Zhao Chen coming in, Li Gang hurriedly stood up and bowed to Zhao Chen to salute!

"Teacher, please sit down! These days, you are not counting the population and tax situation of Hanzhong and Sichuan. Why do you have time to see me now?" Zhao Chen smiled.

"His Royal Highness, Qu Duan is here!" Li Gang said.

"Qu Duan..." Zhao Chen was taken aback!

He naturally heard the name Qu Duan! Whether in this era or in later history books, Qu Duan is a famous figure! Qu Duan, both civil and military, was the top warrior in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty! Qu Duan repeatedly defeated Jin Jiang Wanyan Lou Shi, with outstanding merits! It's a pity that Qu Duan was killed early, so even if he made outstanding contributions in his early years, he could not compare with Yue Fei, Wu Jie, Han Shizhong and others!

Now that Quduan holds one hundred thousand heavy soldiers, it is a huge force in the Northwest, second only to what can be obtained! If you can control this force, it will be greatly beneficial to your own resistance!

"His Royal Highness, we must recruit Qu Duan! Let Qu Duan be used by Your Highness!" Li Gang said.

"I have been showing weakness in front of Zhe Keqiu these days, and I have no ambition. If I recruit Qu Duan now, wouldn't it make him doubt?" Zhao Chen said.

"His Royal Highness does not need to go out in person, but the old minister is going to solicit Qu Duan! When the time comes, he will act in the name of the old minister, and even if you can find it, you will at most think that the old minister will go against him! He is at best against the old minister! Your Highness, as a monarch, we must be decisive, and we can't let go of any chance! Now that Qu Duan has come to Hanzhong, this is an opportunity for us!" Li Gang said.

"You are right!" Zhao Chen nodded.

"The old minister just wanted to go to the post house to see Qu Duan, but the door of the post house was guarded by the subordinates who could ask for a discount. The old official was blocked when he arrived there! Therefore, the old official and his highness discussed that they should let these few of his men The master goes to meet Qu Duan!" Li Gang said.

Zhao Chen thought for a moment. He looked at Wang Gui and said, "Brother Wang, I have to trouble you with this matter!"

There are three masters under Zhao Chen, the most powerful is undoubtedly Yue Fei, but Yue Fei has a dull temperament and is not suitable for being a lobbyist. Zhang Xian is a lively temperament and speaks carelessly. It is also impossible to be a lobbyist. Only Wang Gui is the oldest. , The temperament is the most stable, and it's better to be a lobbyist!

"His Royal Highness just ordered! What is the trouble?" Wang Gui smiled.

At the moment, Zhao Chen and Li Gang discussed, and Li Gang told Wang Gui what he was going to say, and Wang Gui kept these in mind.

The night is dark, and the rain is still going down!

Qu Duan and Wang Shu rested in the post house for an afternoon. At this moment, neither of them was sleepy!

Qu Duan called Wang Shu into his room, and the two were playing chess at the moment!

Quduan is a master of chess, and Wang Shu is no match for three games in a row!

"The general's chess skill is really too high, Wang Shu is not your opponent!" At the end of the third game, Wang Shu stopped and said.

"Playing chess is like fighting a war. If I can fight, I will play chess! I am good at fighting, and naturally not low at playing chess! Come on, let's continue!" Qu Duan smiled.

"I think it's better! I keep losing like this, I don't want to play anymore!" Wang Shu smiled.

Qu Duan was about to speak, suddenly raised his head and looked out the window, Li shouted: "Who? Who dares to spy on Qu!"

Wang Shu was taken aback, and he also looked out the window!

The window was slowly pushed open, and a strong middle-aged man jumped in from outside! No one else, it is Wang Gui!

It turned out that Wang Gui was ordered to act, just to take advantage of the night to leave the Han Palace and come here!

"Who are you?" Qu Duan said coldly.

"Here is the close person next to Li Gang Li. I came here at the order of Li Gang!" Wang Gui arched his hand and said.

"Li Gang?" Qu Duan was stunned, and Wang Shu was also stunned!

In this era, famous officials and brave officers will come out in large numbers! It is the second year of Jingkang, and Yue Fei has not yet risen. Han Shizhong and others are still "rising stars". Zhe Keqiu, Qu Duan and others are veteran military generals, but in front of the Jurchens, they have no military exploits. Now I want to say who is the world. The first will be somewhat difficult! However, if it is said that the world's number one civil servant, then Li Gang can be said to be doing his part! When Jin Bing went south for the first time, it was Li Gang who stood up and forced Song Huizong to abdicate with tactics, so that Song Qinzong succeeded to the throne. After that, Song Qinzong acted according to Li Gang's plan and blocked the attack of Jin Bing! Unfortunately, Li Gang was demoted to Jiangxi soon afterwards. When Jin Bing went south for the second time, although Li Gang was recalled to the court, there were many traitorous officials in the court. Zhang Bangchang, Li Bangyan and other human rights were overwhelming, and Li Gang never played a role again!

But even so, Li Gang's prestige in the officialdom and the public is still extremely high, and no one among the civil servants in the world can compare with Li Gang! Even Zongze missed Li Gang!

I heard that they were sent by Li Gang, Qu Duan and Wang Shu were all cautious!

"Why did Master Li not come by himself, but let you come? What evidence do you have to prove your identity?" Qu Duan thought for a while and said.

"Master Li wants to come, but the post houses around here are all available subordinates, they don't let Master Li come over! As for my identity, here is a letter from Master Li! Master Li was the prime minister back then, I have also written to local officials. Many local officials have leftovers of Master Li's calligraphy. You can compare them, and there will be no mistakes!" Wang Gui said.

Right now, Wang Gui took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Qu Duan!

Qu Duan tore the letter open and looked at it carefully! After a while, a surprised expression appeared on Qu Duan's face!

Wang Shu pushed Qu Duan, Qu Duan handed the letter into Wang Shu's hands, and Wang Shu looked at it carefully!

After a while, Wang Shu's face also showed a surprised expression!

"Good means! Good means! As expected to be Li Gang, the world's first minister! This letter did not win over the general, but it said that he would recommend the general as the privy envoy! As the privy envoy, he is a high-ranking official in the DPRK. Coming to Hanzhong! The general is strong in Hanzhong. No matter how much he wants, he will be hesitant to win over the general at that time! The so-called so-called one mountain can not tolerate two tigers, this is the truth! At that time, Li Gang can find a way to win over the general. Let the general be used by the prince! This Li Gang is indeed well-deserved! It seems that I underestimated the hero of the world! Previously, I could use my daughter to win over the general, and now Li Gang uses this trick again, they are not easy!" Wang Shu Secretly.

"General Qu, Mr. Li wrote in the letter. I don't know if you agree?" Wang Gui said.

"This... I was training in Jingyuan. I was very comfortable and didn't want to be an official in the DPRK! Speaking of this, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council could be regarded as the ruler of the state. Unfortunately, Qu was not competent!" Qu Duan shook his head.

In the Song Dynasty, the Privy Council managed the world's military affairs. The Privy Envoy was the head of the Privy Council, and the privy envoy was second only to the privy envoy! For the Song people, the prime minister, deputy prime minister, privy envoy, and privy envoy were all important state ministers, and they were called "Zhizhi"! As a master, everyone has a high position, far exceeding the position of a manager! But Qu Duan was unwilling to involve Zhao Chen in the dispute between Zhao Chen and Qu Duan, so he did not agree!

"General Qu, please think twice! With General Qu's talents, it is enough to be the leader of the country!" Wang Gui said.

"I understand Li Gang Li's thoughts! It's just that I just want to train in Jingyuan!" Qu Duan said lightly.

He just wants to preserve his own strength, he has no interest in how others fight and fight!

"The prince is too young, I am afraid that his ability is limited! If the prince is older, my general may have taken over the position of deputy privy envoy!" Wang Shu said with a smile.

He is testing Wang Gui! See how Wang Gui answered to understand Zhao Chen!

Wang Gui was silent for a moment, and said, "Although the prince is young, his prince is smart and wise and has a tough temper! The future of the Song Dynasty will always belong to the prince!"

Wang Shu smiled and said: "The prince is so young, he is only eleven years old now, you say he is smart and wise, I believe this for the time being! But you say he has a tough temperament, this is a bit absurd! A teenager, so young , How can you be tough?"

Wang Gui said: "I said that His Royal Highness is tenacious and tenacious. It's not nonsense! Last winter, the city of Kaifeng was broken, and His Royal Highness escaped from Kaifeng City! After that, he and Li Gang walked in the ice and snow for more than a month and came to Xiangzhou. Outside the city! They originally wanted to rely on King Kang, Zongze and others to regain the mountains and rivers. Unexpectedly, King Kang, Zongze and others were rebellious and tried to assassinate His Royal Highness! Your Royal Highness Ji Ren Tianxiang left Xiangzhou City and fled all the way to Tongguan! In Tongguan, His Royal Highness was imprisoned by Zhe Keqiu for a few days before seeing Li Ruoshui, Wang De and others! Later, the Jurchen soldiers went to Lintong Pass and pursued His Royal Highness all the way! His Royal Highness went to Dasan Pass, Wu Jie and others. Defeated Jinbing at Dasanguan! After arriving in Hanzhong, His Royal Highness suffered two more assassinations. The first time His Royal Highness was seriously injured, and the second His Royal Highness was about to die! But in the end, His Royal Highness persisted and now sits down. In the Han Palace! If His Highness had not been tenacious, how could he survive so many hardships and not fall? In this world, I really can't imagine that there are other people who can be like the prince, and be as tenacious as the prince!"

After Wang Gui finished speaking, Qu Duan and Wang Shu stayed there!

In the hearts of Qu Duan and Wang Shu, Zhao Chen was just an ordinary teenager. The only difference between Zhao Chen was his status as a "prince"! They had never thought that the prince had gone through so many hardships and has been standing still. What's weird about this! At this moment, after the two of them thought about it carefully, they fully recognized Wang Gui's "persistent" comment!

In fact, any person who has gone through so many ordeals will only have two results. One result is to be overthrown and killed by the ordeal, and the other result is to be tempered from the ordeal and become tenacious! Zhao Chen is undoubtedly the latter!

"His Royal Highness turned out to be such a person! I, Wang Shu, still miscalculated! I thought I was a wizard of the world. As a result, I couldn't grasp General Qu's temperament, I didn't understand that General Qu had no ambitions, and I couldn't predict what I could ask for. Means, I can’t even see the advantages of His Royal Highness! It seems that I had too much self-esteem in the past! However, in this case, His Royal Highness is a choice! Now His Royal Highness has been compromised and has nothing to do with him. There are no generals, and there are only a few civil servants such as Li Gang and Li Ruoshui. If I take refuge in the crown prince at this time, I will have a chance to make a comeback! Unfortunately, General Qu is not willing to take refuge in anyone. General Qu just wants to preserve his strength and is unwilling. Do any speculation! I can't leave General Qu for the time being! This is embarrassing... or wait until tomorrow to see His Royal Highness, and then make a decision! This matter must be cautious, the future may be glory and wealth or a disaster , It's all between my current thoughts!" Wang Shu secretly said.

Wang Gui persuaded a few more words, Qu Duan just refused to agree, Wang Gui had no choice but to leave!
