"I plan to ask Li Gang to go to Liaodong to help Li Hu as a special envoy. What do you think about me?" The emperor looked up at Ma Kuo and asked.

Ma Kuoran suddenly woke up and his expression changed suddenly.

Letting Li Gang go to Liaodong was nominally a special envoy, but in fact it was a military supervisor. To put it bluntly, the emperor had already regarded the Liaodong rebel army as the Song army, so he took it for granted that he had to use culture to build military forces. Although Li Hu could not be directly deprived of the military command, it was still possible to use military supervisors to build it, and the same goal could be achieved.

Ma Kuo was a little suffocated. He could have predicted what would happen after Li Gang arrived at the Liaodong Rebel Army. This emperor was not only eager for quick success and instant benefits, but also extremely naive. He completely ignored reality and did whatever he wanted. This time, Li Hu and the Liaodong Rebel Army took the initiative to join the Song Dynasty. It was a great thing. If the emperor made such a fuss, good things turned into bad things. Strangely, why didn’t the emperor say just now? Why did the emperor come up with such an incredible idea again after turning his mind?

I don’t know how to say that, is it against or agree? Since the emperor said it, opposition can only make things worse, and he can only agree. Moreover, the emperor is wise this time, and sent a civil servant but not a eunuch, which is already valuable.

The emperor kept looking at Ma Kuo and waited for his answer.

Ma Kuo hesitated for a long time, then said something and answered the question that was not the same, "Only the people of Liaodong are familiar with the matters in Liaodong, especially now Song and Liao are still ally for a hundred years..."

The emperor understood it. Ma Kuo thought this matter was worth discussing and sent a person who was not familiar with Liaodong to serve as a military supervisor. He could only help the more he helped. In addition, once the matter was exposed, the Liao people sent envoys to question it, the Song court would be very embarrassed, and the matter would spread throughout the court. The ministers who opposed the Northern Expedition would definitely advise and obstruct, which would not be of any benefit to the Northern Expedition.

The emperor thought for a while, but did not speak, and then continued to write. He was one of the eunuchs that the emperor favored the most. He was extremely powerful and known as the "hidden star". Even Cai Jing was afraid of him. He was in his thirties. He was in his thirties, with a short beard, a thin face, and a bright and energetic eyes. He was resolute and steady.

The two knelt down and bowed. The emperor pointed to the middle-aged man and introduced Ma Kuo. This person was Li Gang.

Ma Kuo suddenly realized that no wonder things changed after turning around. It was Liang Shicheng who was doing it behind the scenes. The emperor's ears were soft, and Liang Shicheng covered the emperor with a few words.

Liang Shicheng opposed the Northern Expedition. The reason for his opposition was neither realistic nor moral thinking, but for interests, because if the Northern Expedition was successful, Cai Jing and Tong Guan would benefit the most. One of these two people led the affairs of the three provinces and the other was in charge of the Northern Expedition. Except for the emperor, of course, they made the greatest contribution, so Liang Shicheng expressed his opposition. As an inner favor, he opposed the emperor's decision, wasn't he seeking death, and there was no emperor protecting him. He was just a fool. Who was Liang Shicheng? How could he go against the emperor? Of course, this was made at the emperor's instruction. The reason was very simple, it would be more obvious. Otherwise, how could the emperor continue to plan the Northern Expedition plan under the eyes of the ministers?

Of course, Ma Kuo didn't know about this kind of thing. He believed it as true as many ministers and thought it was a power struggle in the court. So when he saw Liang Shicheng, he subconsciously thought that Liang Shicheng offered this plan purely to obstruct the Northern Expedition. In front of Liang Shicheng, he did not dare to speak, but he was very disappointed with the emperor, thinking that the emperor was looking forward to the Northern Expedition, half-hearted, changing, and making people at a loss. How could this happen?

Liang Shicheng looked arrogant and pointed at Ma Kuo and said, "Tell me what happened in Liaodong."

Ma Kuo hated him very much, but he hated him because he was too big and the emperor favored the officials, so he couldn't afford to offend him. Ma Kuo then explained his trip to Liaodong in detail.

After Ma Kuo finished speaking, Liang Shicheng looked at Li Gang with a smile on his face, "Bo Ji, what do you think?" Liang Shicheng's tone was very close, and it was obvious that the relationship between the two was extraordinary. This greatly reduced Ma Kuo's impression of Li Gang, and there was a hint of contempt in his eyes. He thought Li Gang was a righteous person, but now it seems that he is also a person who clings to the powerful and flatters.

Li Gang said a few words respectfully, meaning that the situation in Liaodong is not very beneficial to the Northern Expedition at present. In order to create opportunities for the Northern Expedition as soon as possible, he was willing to go to Liaodong to assist Li Hu, but... He changed his mind and immediately said that there were several unfavorable places when he went to Liaodong. First, he was not familiar with Liaodong; second, he was not familiar with Li Hu and the Liaodong Rebel Army; third, the Liaodong Rebel Army was complex, and even the pirates were Li Hu's subordinates. Therefore, it can be imagined that Li Hu had a high prestige in Liaodong, so it would be difficult to play any role after he arrived in Liaodong; fourth, if the emperor granted himself the power to supervise the army in the imperial edict, it would inevitably lead to misunderstanding between Li Hu and the Liaodong Rebel Army, thinking that the emperor's acceptance was false and the use was true. In this way, it would be counterproductive. He might be successful in Liaodong and not be able to defeat him.

In a word, it’s not that he is unwilling to go, but that he will do something bad, so it’s better not to go.

When Ma Kuo heard this, he had a better impression of him. This man was still clear-headed, not as confused as the emperor, and knew that he could not go there, and he couldn't even keep his head. Li Hu and the bosses in the rebels were all landlords who were killed without blinking. They didn't like you, and they would chop them with a knife, and chop them with a chop. How could you do with him? In comparison, you would rather go to Nanjianzhou, Fujian to do a tax business and go back to their hometown to have a gangster life, than take risks with your head.

The emperor spoke, two meanings. First, Li Gang had to go to Liaodong. There was no room for bargaining in this matter. As long as it was possible to ensure that the Liaodong rebel army conquered Pingzhou Road and directly threatened Yanjing, you would make a contribution and make great contributions. I will summon you back and be promoted. Secondly, since Li Hu wanted to be a vassal state, it was obvious that no matter how the situation in Liaodong changed, he would preserve his strength and seek the best interests in the unpredictable situation. Therefore, it is impossible to rely on him to conquer Pingzhou Road by next winter and drag the army of Liao and Jin to Zhongjing Road. Therefore, you must go, just stay by Li Hu, hold my imperial edict in your hand. With this imperial edict, you can command Li Hu. Otherwise, I will cut off his aid, send a navy to block the Liaohai Sea, and then cut off his sea routes to Yi. I want to see how he survives.

Speaking of this, whether it is Ma Kuo or Li Gang, he can only kneel down and receive the order.

The two left the palace and got on the carriage. Ma Kuo introduced Li Gang. Li Gang is now appointed as Wailang, the principal of the Ministry of Revenue. Yuan Wailang is the second officer of the 24th Division of the Shangshu Province. He is from the fifth rank and is generally called the deputy rank, and he is also considered a considerable official.

"The officials asked Deputy Lang Li to be the special envoy to station in Liaodong's rebel army."

Huang She smiled all over his face and kept saying welcome. He understood as soon as he heard it, and sneered, was the Emperor of the Song Dynasty a broken mind? Where do you think the Liaodong rebel army was? It was your imperial guard of the Song Dynasty? In terms of the vassal states, it was also an independent small kingdom. Can your emperor send someone to supervise the army at will? Now the aid is still a horoscope, and it is exchanged for war horses. The Liaodong rebel army has nothing except for a series of empty promises. This will make us work hard for you? Let's be your dream of spring and autumn.

Huang She was very enthusiastic and introduced Li Gang about the Liaodong Rebel Army, but he didn't take him seriously. If you are smart, you should stay in Jinzhou. I am good at drinking and eating, and beautiful girls will serve you. If you show off your power and be arrogant, I will ask a few pirates to throw you into the sea to feed the fish.

Li Gang didn't say much, and he listened most of the time. The smile on his face was very reserved, his eyes looked a little uneasy, and he looked tired and powerless. He seemed to have no interest in this trip to Liaodong. He spoke with a southern accent, Ma Kuo had a northwest accent, and Huang She spoke in Hebei dialect. Once the three of them spoke faster, they could not understand. So laughter came from the carriage from time to time. The peace talks between the Liao Kingdom was absent and they looked like a decisive battle.

The battles in the palace tent of the Liao Kingdom suddenly became fierce.

As the situation in Liaodong became increasingly unfavorable to the Liao Kingdom, the ministers of the warlord gradually gained an advantage in the palace tents, and the emperor had to rely on them more often. However, the ministers of the warlord became increasingly tough in the matter of imperial unification, especially after the failure of the Liao and Jin peace talks, there was a lot of call for the establishment of the imperial unification.

The emperor ignored the emperor and continued to delay the unification of the emperor. In order to avoid the forced forces of the ministers, he went out to hunt and left the mess without paying attention.

Before leaving Yanjing, he suddenly made an amazing decision and agreed to all the requirements made by the rebel Li Hu and the rebels. Li Hu wanted to be the king and enthronement; Li Hu wanted to be a vassal state, give him prefectures, counties, and give him military, government and finance power; Li Hu's subordinates wanted to be the commander of the capital, and grant him any official title; Li Hu wanted money, weapons, and give him whatever he wanted, as long as he beat the Jurchens, he gave him whatever he wanted.
