Chapter 280

Outside the office of the Liangjiang Xuanfu Ambassador's Office in Jiankang Prefecture, countless cars and horses gathered. Green robes and breezes were surging like crucian carp trees crossing the river.

Zhao Kui, who has been a military minister for his whole life and now is the Supreme Master of the Grand Marshal, probably never dreamed that such a scene would happen before a military minister's office.

However, with Zhao Kui's current status and the limelight of military officials now being a slightest over civil officials, this scene is normal. Now, the most powerful military officials in the Song Dynasty are undoubtedly Chen Dexing. The military officials with the oldest qualifications, the highest official position, and the most old-fashioned disciples are the ones who are the ones. For example, Lv Wende and Xia Gui, they are all Zhao Kui who were promoted by Zhao Kui. Chen Dexing's grandfather Chen Hushan was also a general promoted by Zhao Kui. In terms of seniority, Zhao Kui, 74 years old this year, is three generations older than Chen Dexing, and is considered to be Chen Dexing's great-grandfather!

However, this military general was from a family of civil officials and had a good relationship with civil officials. He also did not manage power. He was considered an alternative in the Southern Song Dynasty Lizong Dynasty, where warlords were everywhere, so he was extremely trusted by the court. Even a petty official like Emperor Lizong never doubted anything about Zhao Kui. In history, although Jia Sidao's plan affected Zhao Dahu, he just let it go and did not embarrass Zhao Kui too much.

Now, Zhao Kui, the general in the army, is the leader of the military officials of the Zhao Song Dynasty. All the officials and people who own Zhao look up to him. Even Chen Dexing is extremely afraid of this veteran in the army.

And those military officials who had just received the order and became the governor of a town even sent their disciples to Jiankang to find out the news - whether they were going to come to the fourteen princes to fight Dexing, just wait for the old Grand Marshal to say something. The governors of the towns are all juniors of the old Grand Marshal, but they have their own destiny. How can they not obey?

In addition to the people from all towns, there are still people from Lin'an. The two factions in the court want to stabilize Zhao Kui now. Although the Chen family's father and son do not want to make a joint battle between the towns - if that is true, Chen Dexing can only retreat as an advance and withdraw his power from Lin'an first.

Jia Sidao and others also did not want Zhao Kui to enter the capital with the support of the towns. Because once Zhao Kui came, the power would definitely belong to him. How dare Jia Sidao and others fight against him? Naturally, they could only go aside.

In addition, some frustrated civil and military officials also came to Jiankang to rely on Zhao Kui. For example, the former right prime minister Ding Daquan now lives in seclusion in Jiankang and hides in Zhao Kui. There are also Lu Zhaoqi, who just sneaked out from Lin'an, and Liang Chongru's father-in-law and son-in-law, who has also become Zhao Kui's guest - Lu Zhaoqi is of course also a general promoted by Zhao Kui. Liang Chongru's grandfather also served as an aide under Zhao Kui's disciple. Strictly speaking, it is really not an outsider.

Zhao Kui, who was entrenched in Jiankang, also became a vassal state, and at the same time, a third party outside the two factions of revival and civilized governance!

In the study room of the Xuanfu Office, his hair was white. Although Zhao Kui, who was half leaning on the couch, seemed to be dozing off with his eyes squinted, Lu Zhaoqi and Liang Chongru, who were standing in front of him, did not dare to speak out at all. He looked like he was listening to the instructions.

Zhao Kui squinted her eyes and said slowly: "Chen Dexing is going to Goryeo, so let him go to Liaodong. This is fine. Let him stir up the situation for the Mongols and let them not unify so quickly. Some of the chaos here is easy to mess with, and it cannot be settled overnight. As for the fight against thieves in Luoluo, this matter cannot be done! I don't allow it. Whoever dares to do this, just step on my body! You go and tell those people that as long as I still have a breath, there will be no fight against thieves, and no one can go to Lin'an. Let me squint on my own territory honestly!"

These days, the situation has been chaotic. More people want to take advantage of the situation. Many people around Chen Dexing advised him to learn from Cao Cao. Many people here advised him to learn from Yuan Shao - asking him to summon the princes of the world to fight against the thieves in the industry, drive Chen Dexing away, and then take control of the overall situation himself! However, Zhao Kui is old and has no ambitions. Instead, all his sons and nephews are in a hot heart and want to fight for wealth in this chaotic world!

Lu Zhaoqi and Liang Chongru did not become the governor of the army. The representative of the frustrated general who observed the commander, hoped that Zhao Kui could be Yuan Shao's time. But this old man didn't have such a thought at all?

The father-in-law and son-in-law looked at each other, Liang Chongru and Tao: "Is the old lieutenant really disregarding the grace of the emperor for generations? If the thief was allowed to succeed in Goryeo and Liaodong, then his power in the court would probably be even higher. At that time, he would take Zhao and replace him with victory and triumphant momentum. Is it easy to get back to the front? Even if the old lieutenant is not in the industry, he will always find some ways to ruin Chen Dexing's affairs. He must not let him gain a foothold in Haidong and Liaodong!"

Zhao Kui snorted: "How to ruin his business? He is ready to go to the sea. I can't send a naval army to intercept it, right? Besides, the naval army in the Yangtze River Control Department is trafficking goods and carrying passengers, so where can we fight?"

Liang Chongru gritted his teeth: "I will not hide it from the old lieutenant. Xiaguan and Chen Dexing are mortal enemies. If he succeeds, Xiaguan will have no way to survive! Therefore, Xiaguan is willing to go to Goryeo to remind Goryeo's monarchs and ministers, so that they can prepare again. I only ask the old lieutenant to give some sea boats, several stones, more than a dozen heavenly thunders, and some knowledgeable knowledge that can understand Goryeo language."

Zhao Kui glanced at Liang Chongru and was silent: "Well, for your dedication to the country, I will help you with the last one!"

After saying that, he closed his eyes and said nothing. Lu Zhaoqi and Liang Chongru hurriedly retreated. As soon as the two of them left, a young man in a green robe walked into the study and approached Zhao Kui and whispered: "Grandma, the Chen family is here, the Chen family's eldest brother, are you going to see me?"

Zhao Kui closed her eyes and asked, "Do you know what's going on?"

"It seems that for the sake of the imperial examination, the Chen family wants the Grandpa to support the use of military personnel." The young man glanced at Zhao Kui and whispered, "Grandpa, what Jiangnan Shilin hates the most is the use of military personnel. If the Grandpa comes forward to oppose it, he will definitely be supported by the Nanshi."

"Hmph! Old man, I'm 75, how many years can I live? So what if they can hold me or not?" Zhao Kui's eyes didn't open, "If I were twenty years younger, I could still fight for it. Let me do it now! Tell the Chen family that as long as Chen Dexing doesn't become Cao Cao, the old man will be in Jiankang for retirement! He'd better stay in Goryeo and Liaodong. When the old man returns to the west, he will do whatever he likes! As for the use of martial arts, the old man thinks it's good! Today is a chaotic world, and there are vassal states in Mongolia outside. How can a group of nerd scholars deal with this situation? If they can deal with it, they will not let Chen Dexing's 3,000 people succeed in the capital!"

The young man was a little disappointed and bowed to Zhao Kui and was about to go out. When he arrived at the door, he was stopped by Zhao Kui: "Ask the eldest brother of the Chen family when his brother will marry the princess. I, the Zhao family, will send someone to drink this wedding banquet!"

The young man was stunned. The Zhao family sent someone to drink Chen Dexing's wedding banquet, which was tantamount to showing goodwill to Chen Dexing, the thief!

Zhao Kui looked at his grandson with a confused look and shook his head and sighed: "...The troubled times have come! No matter whether the old man is happy or not, no matter how the old man deals with the situation for the Song Dynasty, this troubled times have come... During the Li Quan's rebellion, a troubled times almost caused a troubled times! That time, the old man tried his best to calm down. But now I am old and have no elite soldiers to use, so the trouble can't be settled.

Since I can't calm down, I can only plan to make troubled times... As long as I have a tone, Jiankang Mansion can always hold on, but I am already 75 years old, how many years will I live? What should you do if I die? What should I do if the millions of Shuli in Jiankang Mansion do? While I have a tone, arrange as much as possible if I can!"

The old man's tone was full of fatigue, and it seemed that there was still a little sadness! He was born in a family of famous officials and was a high-ranking official for generations. His father Zhao Fang was the commander of the Lianghuai. He and his brother Zhao Fan were both young soldiers, both civil and military. He also opened governments, Jinghu, and controlled two-thirds of the elite troops of the Song Dynasty, suppressed Li Quan, and attacked Jin. He was really the pillar of the country. If Li Quan had invaded Lin'an that year, how could their Zhao brothers not enter Luo to serve the king, control this land, and then carefully clean up and encouraged to revive it? Unfortunately, he did not have such a treacherous spirit and worked as a papermaker for the Song Dynasty for decades. Now, a young man who was more than fifty years younger than him completely tore off the face of the Song Dynasty.

This troubled times have come after all, but unfortunately, Zhao Kui is already old. This troubled times are not his stage anymore.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kui sighed again: "Will Chen Dexing go back to Shazhou again? Let's tell Chen Defang that the old man wants to go to Shazhou to meet Chen Dexing!"

...

"The master, the west wind is about to vent!"

Wang Zisheng, who was big and thick, entered Chen Dexing's festival hall in a blink of an eye. He bowed and reported happily.

"I have many old boat bows under my command who have been sailing along the southeast coast for more than ten years. I can't be wrong with watching the wind and the sea! There will be a west wind blowing within three days, and it will be just right to go to Jeju Island. If the 1,000-mile sea route is smooth, you can walk in two days."

At this time, Huang Zhishen was also in Chen Dexing's festival hall, looking down at a chart. After hearing Zhou Xiaoqiyi's words, he nodded and said, "The old bow of our Huang family also said that the west wind will be roared within three days, and it will last at least 7 days."

Chen Dexing slapped the table suddenly and stood up excitedly: "Okay! Pass the order down, the entire army must be completed within five days! Target, Jeju Island, the coastal areas of Goryeo!"

"Master, I also heard a news that the Pu family in Quanzhou has been summoning pirates and pirates recently! And the price offered is very high!" Wang Zisheng then reported another news that he had only learned.

"Call the boat bandits and pirates?"

Chen Dexing didn't know much about maritime business. He looked up at Huang Zhishen, who smiled and said, "Maritime businessmen are hard to distinguish between them, and our Huang family also has contacts with the heroes on the sea."

Chen Dexing frowned: "The Pu family wants to gather the pirates and pirates..."

"Who are you going to deal with?" Huang Zhishen smiled, "General, it seems that the road to the east will not be peaceful this time." (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
