Chapter 706 Encountered a plot??
Minister of War Song Wensong and Su Xinghai felt a little "splied" and immediately became embarrassed!
Song Wensong made all the customs from the capital to Jiangnan, but it also caused a huge disaster. It was because of Song Wensong's limelight that the northwest rebelled, Long Zhaoyan became independent, the Song family was crowned king, and Dagan and Dakang openly sang stage operas, which had a great impact on the entire country and the country.
Su Xinghai came to see Emperor Xinde today, and thought in his heart that he must talk about this matter when he got the opportunity! Song Wensong returned to Jiangnan from the capital and was very dedicated, and he could even say that he had ulterior motives. Now he has caused great disasters to Dakang. How could Dakang still give him such a high position?
But before he could tell this, Emperor Xinde actually summoned Song Wensong to the Bauhinia Palace! Song Wensong was wearing a noble purple robe and was full of energy. At this time, the situation in the north was messy, but Song Wensong was a very powerful minister. No matter how big the storm was, it seemed that it would not be able to cure him.
He saluted in a regular manner and said, "My minister Wen Song has seen Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty, long live your Majesty!"
His words were quite exaggerated. After saluting, Emperor Xinde raised his hand and said, "Your dear, please calm down!" Song Wensong stood up and saluted Su Xinghai again. Su Xinghai's expression changed slightly, but he nodded slightly.
Emperor Xinde said: "Song Aiqing, why did you enter the palace today? Is it for the war in the north?"
Song Wensong said: "Your Majesty, the Song family in Longyou dared to stand on their own, and even let Prince Yin take the throne. Such behavior is outrageous! Wensong heard this news in recent days and thought that he would meet His Majesty no matter what, and give His Majesty a clear suggestion for the response to this matter.
Look at the Song family now, they are completely crazy. The Song family is carrying more than 100,000 Northwest Army to break through Bingzhou, and then heading south to seize the capital and sweep the mountains and rivers of Hanoi! Your Majesty, the thief is as powerful as fire, and Wen Song is bound to be spared. If the north is lost and Jiangnan loses the danger of defending, the situation will be really dangerous!"
Emperor Xinde frowned and said, "The Song family is a traitor. Wen Song's beloved minister can firmly argue in the face of major issues and break up with the Song family in time. I feel no comfort! The situation in the north is different from the past. The thieves and thieves on all sides have their own interests. I am not very clear about this!"
Emperor Xinde suddenly looked at Su Xinghai and said, "Su Aiqing, you are the prime minister and prime minister, and you have lived in the capital for a long time. You have experienced all the recent ups and downs of the capital!
I want to hear what to do if you talk about the situation in the North? Should we abandon our Dakang or protect it? If it is, how should we protect it and what strategies should we use to protect the capital?"
Su Xinghai was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Emperor Xinde suddenly pointed the finger at him. He pondered for a long time, but he couldn't answer this question.
Can the northern land be preserved? It depends on the tens of thousands of troops left by Song Wensong? It also depends on the methods of the prince Long Zhaohuan? The current northern land is facing not only the pressure of Bingzhou, but also the pressure of the two rivers. Cao Weiming and the Song family are in a slew together. It is too difficult for the two forces to attack the capital river in the capital river.
But can it be possible to abandon the North? The answer is obviously not possible. If the North is lost, Jiangnan will have no danger to defend. Now Jiangnan has rebelled from all directions. How can Jiangnan surrounded by all sides protect itself?
After Su Xinghai thought about it, he felt that there was almost no answer to this question, but he thought about why Emperor Xinde suddenly asked himself at this time? And Song Wensong was on the scene again. Could it be that Emperor Xinde wanted to send Song Wensong back to the capital again?
With this in mind, Su Xinghai felt that it was inappropriate. After all, Song Wensong's surname was "Song". If he returned to the capital at this time, if the war situation was unfavorable, it would be possible that Song Wensong would return to the Song family again. In that case, wouldn't it be given to the capital?
Su Xinghai has a lot of dealing with Song Wensong. He knows that Song Wensong is definitely not a good man and trustworthy woman. This person must be a loyal minister to Dakang. It is just that due to the situation, he has to retreat to advance! This person is a hero who is unwilling to be mediocre in his bones, and he has high ambitions!
Su Xinghai felt that he could not trust such a person at all. If Xinde asked him to return to the capital at this time, maybe the North would really collapse quickly!
As soon as he thought of this, Su Xinghai said: "Report to Your Majesty, if you want to defend the north, you must send a capable person to defend the future. Originally, General Song was a suitable candidate, but General Song had just returned from the north, and now it seems out of place to go back to the expedition.
Besides, the reason why the Song family rebelled was not unrelated to General Song going to Jiangnan. If General Song returned north again at this time, it might make the thief even more crazy, and it would be very unfavorable to the defense of the north!"
Emperor Xinde nodded and said, "My dear Wensong, what do you think what Su Xiang said? At this moment, if you want to return north, it is not that I disagree. I am afraid that it will not be in line with the current situation. The old minister Su Xiang is planning a country and expressed my thoughts in one sentence!"
Emperor Xinde changed his tone and continued: "My dear Wensong, you are the pillar of my Dakang and the first-class general. Who do you think the North will be able to turn the tide? Who has the ability to protect North?"
Song Wensong said: "I recommend one person. If this person can take action, there will be no worries in the north! This person's talent is ten times better than Wensong, and Wensong once regarded him as his teacher. Weisong recommended this person as his minister Lu Zheng!"
When Song Wensong said this, Su Xinghai couldn't help but exclaim and blurted out: "No, Lu Zheng is born in literature. His poetry and literary talent are really high, but the North needs a general, how can Lu Zheng do it?"
Song Wensong laughed and said, "Su Xiang is such a bad word. Lu Zheng is a versatile talent in civil and military affairs. My fate in the northwest was in danger. It was because of my understanding of Lu Zheng that I was able to gain a foothold.
In the northwest, Lu Zheng once used the city defense of a county and used thousands of soldiers to block the attack of the 30,000 Turkic cavalry. Such a magical use of troops is truly amazing!
Now the security of the Northland is related to the security of our country and country. With such talent, Lu Zheng can ensure that the capital will not be lost. As long as the capital will not be lost, the Northwest Army will inevitably be weak from afar. In time, our Great Kang will surely win, and the Northwest Army will inevitably be defeated!
At the critical moment of survival, I believe Lu Zheng will definitely shoulder this heavy burden, take decisive action for our Jiangnan and our great prosperity, and show his talents!"
Song Wensong said this like a cannon, and Su Xinghai was completely confused. At this moment, he suddenly realized that today was a trap. Emperor Xinde summoned him to give him a testimony!
Look, Emperor Xinde and Song Wensong had a tacit understanding between the emperor and his ministers. Is Su Xinghai’s opinion important? It’s not important at all. They have long decided to send Lu Zheng to the capital!
A cold sweat broke out on Su Xinghai's forehead because he knew very well that the capital was a dead place now. Otherwise, how could Song Wensong give up his family and go south?
In Beijing and Bingzhou, neither city can be lost, but no city can be defended! Who can turn the world around in such a situation?
If Lu Zheng went to the north, could the situation in Jiangnan be controlled? Will the 100,000 Southern Prefecture Army in Jiangnan change? If there is such a tacit understanding between Song Wensong and Emperor Xinde, will they also attack the Southern Prefecture Army?
Su Xinghai had countless thoughts in his mind. He tried to think of a solution for Lu Zheng, but he thought about it repeatedly and thought carefully, but he couldn't find a solution for it!
Is Lu Zheng facing a dead end? As soon as he thought of this, Su Xinghai's hair stood up all over his body! As the prime minister, how could he experience fewer power struggles? He thought about today's events for a moment and understood. It turned out that this was actually an extremely thoughtful arrangement by Emperor Xinde!
Emperor Xinde was able to gain a foothold in Jiangnan, and the Lu family made great contributions, especially Lu Zheng bowed. But at the same time, with Emperor Xinde's character, how could he tolerate the Lu family as the dominant one? He could not tolerate Lu Zheng becoming the first powerful minister.
From Su Xinghai's perspective, Lu Zheng has done a good job and can be said to have been very careful and restrained. Lu Zheng has not even joined the cabinet and become the prime minister. Such behavior is undoubtedly very smart!
But so what? Emperor Xinde is still worried about him! Song Wensong's arrival undoubtedly gave him a chance to take action. The tacit understanding between him and Song Wensong, Emperor Xinde's imperial edict actually wanted to take Lu Zheng to the north. This move seemed to be a heavy use of Lu Zheng, but in this special situation, is this a heavy use? This is to put Lu Zheng to death, and this is to push Lu Zheng into a desperate situation.
Some people say that Lu Zheng is not a fool. Since he has authority and has so many resources, will he be at the mercy of Emperor Xinde?
And the problem is here. Lu Zheng’s strategy is to protect the emperor and maintain the great prosperity. If he directly resisted the order, what else can he say? He is also a traitor. Long Zhaohuan, Long Zhaoyan, even Long Lingxiu and others can go south to Jiangnan with justification and sweep Jiangnan.
Emperor Xinde did this with extreme pressure, and he also expected that Lu Zheng could not resist and dared not resist. Even after he became a powerful emperor for decades, he acted extremely willful. He wanted to challenge the limit. He wanted to be so willful. He wanted to ask whether the Lu family dared to rebel?
Song Wensong is obviously also a super gambler. It is no exaggeration to say that maybe when Song Wensong went from capital to Jiangnan, he had already predicted the situation today. His retreat to advance was a big gamble.
As soon as Su Xinghai thought of this, he thought of himself and the Su family. What should the Su family do when facing such a violent change in the court? Isn’t it embarrassing that Su Xinghai came back from the north to the south of the Yangtze River?
Originally, Su Xinghai came back because he hoped that he would become Lu Zheng's right-hand man after he came back. On the one hand, he consolidated the alliance between the Lu family and the Su family, and on the other hand, he also laid a solid foundation for the Su family in Jiangnan, correctly making the Su family the second after the Lu family, thus laying the foundation for the prosperity of the Lu family in the future.
