Li Yanqing looked at the report carefully again. The report only said that Tong Guan, Wang Fu, Zhang Bangchang and Li Bangyan were the important officials in the court meeting to force the Northern Expedition. They neither mentioned the opposition nor said that all officials agreed unanimously. They just said that the emperor hesitated for a long time and finally decided to fulfill the alliance and agree to the Northern Expedition.

The emperor hesitated for a long time but expressed a gesture. After all, he issued an edict last year to suspend the Northern Expedition, and now it is restarted, which easily reminds people of his rebellion.

The attitude of all officials is also worthy of fun. Since there are not many people who agree with Wang Fu's party, it means that there are still many opponents. However, the Fan Party case last year has made no one dare to stand out, so it can only allow Wang Fu and Tong Guan's party to gain the upper hand.

Li Yanqing paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. Since he was demoted last year, he knew that the Northern Expedition would come sooner or later. However, when the Northern Expedition really came, Li Yanqing felt lost again, as if he saw a giant ship sailing towards a huge vortex, and he was powerless to stop it. History still moved towards fate in a destiny.

However, the fate of some individuals has been changed. In history, the Song army launched two Northern Expeditions this year. The first time was that Zhong Shidao was the chief general of the Western Army, and was finally defeated by the Liao army in Xiongzhou. At this time, Zhong Shidao had been dismissed from office and returned to his hometown. Obviously, there was no chance to lead the army to the expedition again. So who would replace Zhong Shidao as the chief general?

Generally speaking, after agreeing to the Northern Expedition, the military personnel appointments will be announced. Unfortunately, the "Chaobao" has not been published, so it should be seen tomorrow. At this time, Li Yanqing suddenly thought of the "Taobao", which often leaked some major matters in advance, and was relatively accurate. Thinking of this, Li Yanqing ran into the inner house like a gust of wind and rushed into Hu Qing'er's yard.

"Qing'er!" Li Yanqing shouted in the yard.

Soon, Hu Qing'er walked out with the newspaper, "Does your brother want a newspaper?"

Li Yanqing nodded, Hu Qing'er smiled and handed him the newspaper, "There should be news that my brother cares about!"

Li Yanqing took the newspaper and simply looked at it with the faint light in the courtyard. Hu Qing'er hurriedly went back to the house to get a lamp out. Li Yanqing quickly found the news he wanted on the front page. Prime Minister Anzhong recommended Zhong Shidao as the commander, but was unanimously opposed by Wang Fu, Li Bangyan and Zhang Bangchang. Tan Zhen and Gao Qiu jointly recommended Liu Yanqing as the commander of the Western Route Army, and Tong Guan recommended Xin Xingzong as the commander of the Eastern Route Army. These two were important heroes to pacify Fang La, and both belonged to the Northwest Army faction.

At the end of the report, the Northern Expedition lineup was also arranged, with Prince Zhao Kai of Yun as the head coach, Tong Guan as the commander of the Xuanfu commander, and Liu Yanqing and Xin Xingzong as the commanders of the East and West armies.

Li Yanqing nodded secretly, basically inconsistent with all his might, especially pointing out that Prince Yun Zhao Kai is the head coach, either the editor-in-chief of the Tabbuds is good, or they have really obtained insider information. This Northern Expedition was actually a battle to fight for the throne.

At this time, Li Yanqing remembered another report two months ago that Tong Guan's achievements in the extermination of Fang La caused serious dissatisfaction with another military supervisor Tan Zhen. He joined forces with Gao Qiu to impeach Tong Guan to kill civilians indiscriminately as Fang La's subordinates to seek merit, which made Tong Guan blame for this and frustrated him for promotion.

Tong Guan had a deep conflict with Tan Zhen and Gao Qiu, and Liu Yanqing was Gao Qiu's man. If Liu Yanqing was really the commander of the capital, he and Tong Guan would probably not have had such a tacit understanding.

In the imperial palace in the capital, a middle-aged eunuch hurriedly passed through a long corridor and came to Liang Shicheng's official room in the inner palace. He came to the door and whispered to the eunuch Yang Qiu: "It was Ah Weng who summoned me to come!"

Yang Qiu nodded, "You wait for a moment, I'll report!"

This middle-aged eunuch is named Luo Ji. He was once a close eunuch beside the prince Zhao Huan. He is now in charge of the prince's daily life. Of course, he was also promoted by Liang Shicheng. He was the confidant who was placed by Liang Shicheng by the prince. He was previously responsible for the connection between Liang Shicheng and the prince.

At this time, Liang Shicheng was sitting at the table and looked at a piece of information sent from Jiayu County, Ezhou. Of course, he did not forget Li Yanqing. He was always paying attention to Li Yanqing's situation in Jiayu County. It was not that he cared about Li Yanqing, but that he felt that Li Yanqing still had value in exploitation.

Li Yanqing once had a good personal relationship with Prince Yun Zhao Kai. Whether the prince ascends the throne in the future or Prince Yun ascends the throne, Li Yanqing has hopes of being valued. This is the value of Li Yanqing in Liang Shicheng's eyes.

Liang Shicheng has always claimed that he is very accurate in his view of people. From Li Yanqing's performance in Jiayu County this year, we can see that he is definitely not a fish in the pond. He has only been in office for a month and has completely wiped out the thiefs that have harmed the Yangtze River for more than ten years. This is not something that ordinary county magistrates can do, and even the prefectures cannot do it.

But Wang Boyan was too shameless and directly robbed the merit of suppressing bandits and promoted to Yingtian Prefecture. However, Liang Shicheng did not intend to speak for Li Yanqing. Since Li Yanqing was promoted to one level by the emperor, it means that the emperor knew very well that the real contribution of suppressing bandits was Li Yanqing, but it was also obvious that the emperor did not want to rehabilitate the Fan Party, so he only forced Li Yanqing to be promoted to one level. Since the emperor was so mean, why should he touch this reverse scale?

At this time, eunuch Yang Qiu came in and reported, "Luo Ji is here, saying that Ah Weng summoned him."

Liang Shicheng is now more concerned about the prince's situation and specially asked Luo Ji to ask questions. He temporarily put down his report about Li Yanqing and nodded, "Let him come in!"

The relationship between Liang Shicheng and the prince Zhao Huan has always been complicated. Since he helped the prince, he also suppressed the prince.

The prince was suppressed due to the note incident two years ago. Liang Shicheng's role in it was not to make the situation smaller, but to add fuel to the fire, aggravating the seriousness of the situation, and ultimately put the prince Zhao Huan in a semi-housed state. The biggest advantage of doing this is that Zhao Huan can only rely on him, Liang Shicheng's channel to contact the outside world, and also forces the prince to rely on him more.

But Liang Shicheng never dreamed that Zhao Huan actually hid another channel in secret, that is, the imperial physician Zhao Jici. Of course, when Liang Shicheng took advantage of the situation last year, he pointed out that the prince was contacting Fan Dang behind the scenes, but this was just a slander of Liang Shicheng and Wang Fu without any evidence. However, Liang Shicheng did not know that his slander was actually the fact.

Liang Shicheng's life was indeed better this year. The breakup between Tan Zhen, Gao Qiu's faction and Tong Guan made Liang Shicheng a person who was eager to win over both factions. Li Yan's huge deficit in the management of the inner treasury made Emperor Zhao Ji extremely dissatisfied with him. Liang Shicheng regained the management power of the inner treasury without showing any expression.

He immediately conducted a major investigation and exposed the fact that Li Yan embezzled more than 100,000 ounces of money in the inner treasury, which made Zhao Ji very angry and kicked Li Yan to the Yeting Palace to be a manager. Liang Shicheng's victory in the inner treasury made Wang Fu and others start to try their best to please him, trying to seek his forgiveness.

If Liang Shicheng had any worries, it was that his relationship with the prince made Prince Yun Zhao Kai very wary of him and did not believe him at all.

Now that Prince Yun has served as the Grand Marshal of the Northern Expedition Army, the emperor's intention to replace the crown prince is very obvious. As long as the Northern Expedition is victorious, Prince Yun is very likely to use the victory of the East Palace and become the new crown prince.

The current situation made Liang Shicheng very regretful. One was that he regretted that he was too close to the prince and had his future wrong, and the second was that he regretted that he helped Wang Fu overthrow the Fan Party, which led to no one in the court opposing the Northern Expedition.

But the main reason is that he was too close to the crown prince Zhao Huan before and lost the trust of Prince Zhao Kai of Yun. Once Zhao Kai ascended the throne, he would be completely finished.

At this time, Liang Shicheng was considering what he should do? Should he help Zhao Huan consolidate his position as the crown prince, or to step on Zhao Huan a few more times and let Prince Yun look at his attitude, he is now facing a choice.

At this time, Luo Ji walked in, knelt down and bowed, "Greetings to Ahweng!"

"Get up!"

Luo Ji stood up and stood aside with his hands hanging down. Liang Shicheng asked, "What's the situation of the prince now?"

Luo Ji shook his head, "I am in very bad condition and I am addicted to wine and sweetness all day long."

"Did you pretend?" Liang Shicheng asked again.

"I don't think it's very similar. He is in a low mood and is full of pessimism about his future. He scolded Wang Fu after getting drunk last night, saying that those who can help him were demoted by Wang Fu. He also mentioned the names of several people."

"Who else was mentioned?"

Luo Ji lowered his voice and said, "There are four people mentioned Fan Zhixu, Zheng Juzhong, Zhong Shidao and Li Yanqing."

Liang Shicheng suddenly became nervous, "What did they do?"

"It seems that these four people failed him."

Liang Shicheng couldn't help but sneer. This was indeed Zhao Huan's character. If something happened, he would always put the blame on others and never criticize himself.

"Did he mention me?"

"He also mentioned Ahon."

"What did he say?"

Luo Ji hesitated for a moment, but did not dare to say it. Liang Shicheng glared at him fiercely, "Speak quickly!"

"He said that all the gifts of the Grand Tutor today are given by the Grand Tutor!"

"What does this mean? Say it all."

The words of Prince Zhao Huan have two meanings. You must connect the previous and next words to understand the true meaning of the words.

"He said that it was because of the care of the Taifu that he was now like a dog locked in a cage for slaughter."

Liang Shicheng was furious and said, "Those who are ungrateful and ungrateful, they actually repaid their grudges. If it weren't for me, he would have been deposed long ago!"

Liang Shicheng immediately made up his mind. Since Zhao Huan was ungrateful and did not know how to be grateful, what else he would do for him was to show his attitude to Prince Yun.
