Li Gang's rescinded the prefecture was undoubtedly like a huge rock falling into the pond, causing huge waves in the court and the country. The reason why Li Gang was dismissed was that he was unable to prevent the migration south, which obviously could not convince the public.

The large-scale migration of southward began last year, and the powerful and huge merchants moved southward. Now they suddenly wanted to stop ordinary people from moving southward. It was neither inconsistency nor reasonable. Finally, at the cost of a prime minister and abdicating minister, this forced some conspiracy theories to conjecture.

This reminds people of many subsequent negotiation issues. Li Gang's rescinding prime minister was undoubtedly a major setback encountered by the pro-war faction. In particular, the main force of the pro-peace faction Geng Nanzhong, who replaced Li Gang as prime minister, made many concerns about future negotiations.

Li Gang left the capital at night without disturbing anyone. At night, Xinzheng Gate slowly opened. Li Gang and several followers rode horses across the city and walked towards the city gate. He finally looked back at the capital, his heart full of melancholy with ambitions.

At this moment, a sudden sound of horse hooves came from behind, and a cavalry rushed through the inner city gate and rushed into the urn.

"Brother Bo Ji, please stay!" someone shouted behind him.

Li Gang stopped the war horse, and he heard the sound, it was Li Yanqing who was calling him.

A kind of inexplicable emotion suddenly surged in his heart, and his nose became sore.

After a moment, Li Yanqing rode a horse and strangled the war horse, and said a little dissatisfied: "How could Brother Bo Ji leave Beijing at night?"

Li Gang sighed, "The court asked me to leave the capital today, to clean up during the day, and to go through the procedures for resignation, and to leave the capital at night."

"But there is no one in the world within fifty miles west of the city gate, and there is not even a place to stay. If you encounter thieves, the consequences will be unimaginable. Did Brother Bo Ji not expect the potential danger here?"

Li Gang's face changed. Of course, he understood that Li Yanqing was referring to it in secret. It was not a thief, but someone would pretend to be a thief and murder him.

Li Yanqing said again: "I will send a team of cavalry to escort Brother Bo Ji to Jingzhao, and when I arrive at Tongguan, there will be someone there to welcome him to ensure that Brother Bo Ji is safe and sound all the way!"

Li Gang was moved and bowed, "Thank you for your care, Li Gang should remember it in his heart!"

"Brother Bo Ji takes care of him. I believe we will have the opportunity to fight against the Jin Dynasty side by side."

Li Gang nodded, "The Jin people are treacherous and untrustworthy, and the court's compromise is rampant. I hope that Li Dutong will protect himself well, and it will also save the chance of our Song Dynasty. Take care!"

After saying that, Li Gang turned his horse and urged his horse to rush out of the city gate. A team of more than a hundred cavalrymen followed closely and guarded Li Gang headed west.

Li Yanqing stood at the city gate and silently watched Li Gang go away. Li Gang's resignation made the anti-Jin faction in the court extremely isolated.

Li Yanqing was not depressed. The tragedy of history was not caused by some accidental factor. It was the inevitable result of years of accumulated problems and would not be reversed in a short period of time. However, he was striving to push the giant ship of history to make it slightly tilt towards the other side on the original trajectory. Perhaps it was just that sentence, if it was not broken, it would not be established.

............

The next morning, Li Yanqing came to the military office as usual. In the past few days, he was busy planning the defense plan along the Yellow River. This is another major measure after the defense of the capital. Li Yanqing initially planned to invest 3,000 giant catapults and 10,000 fire cannons, deploy 200,000 heavy troops and 300,000 civilians, and at the same time create 100,000 thunders. This is just a preliminary plan. To form the final reporting plan, a lot of meticulous and comprehensive calculations are required.

Of course, the specific plan was not done by Li Yanqing himself, but by Mo Jun leading more than 30 military civil servants to be in charge of the establishment.

Li Yanqing came to the military yamen, but found that the military yamen was a little deserted and seemed to be missing many people. He asked the soldiers on guard, "Have you not arrived yet?"

"Report to the governor, Mr. Mo and a dozen civil officials went to the south bank of the Yellow River early this morning."

Li Yanqing patted his forehead. He had a problem with his memory recently. Mo Jun told himself the day before yesterday that he would go to the south bank of the Yellow River for three days today, but he actually forgot.

"I understand, is there anything else?"

"Just just now, His Highness Kang sent someone to deliver a letter, which was placed on the table in the chief official's room."

Li Yanqing was slightly stunned. King Kang Zhao Gou actually came to find him at this time. He pondered for a moment and then quickly walked towards his official room.

There was indeed a letter on the table in the room. There was no signature on the letter, only the line of words "Jingqi, Tokyo Defence Commander Li Dutong". Li Yanqing tore open the letter, and there was a note inside. He asked him to have tea at Zhu Skull Teahouse at noon. Li Yanqing recognized it at a glance. It was indeed the handwriting of King Kang Zhao Gou.

Since Zhao Huan ascended the throne, both Zhao Gou, Zhao Kai and other royal families have been very silent and almost never showed up. All Zhao Huan's rewards have not involved the royal family. Both sides seem to have maintained a tacit understanding. However, Li Yanqing knew that the reason why the royal family was silent was because Zhao Huan arranged strict surveillance for his brothers, so Li Yanqing received a note from Zhao Gou today, which was more or less surprising.

At this time, a personal soldier outside reported: "Report to the governor, Mr. Sun is here!"

Li Yanqing hurriedly put away the notes and went out to greet them. Seeing Sun Fu coming in at the gate of the yard, Li Yanqing smiled and said, "Sun Gong is here, Yanqing is in a far-reaching welcome!"

Sun Fu smiled, "I came out abruptly, I should be sorry."

"Mr. Sun, don't be polite, please come in and sit down!"

Li Yanqing invited Sun Fu to the reception hall next to the official room. The two of them sat down separately, and a personal soldier came in to serve tea.

Sun Fu was also Zhao Huan's master. He was a centrist in the court and was consistent with Li Gang's initial position. He advocated that peace could be negotiated with the Jin Kingdom, but the interests of the Song Dynasty should be guaranteed, especially the land should not be ceded. He and the Grand Secretary He Li and the Privy Councilor Gaoshen became the three pillars of the centrist.

Sun Fu sat down and said to Li Yanqing: "This morning, the official family had officially approved the military merit book for the soldiers. He decided to allocate 100,000 hectares of land from the official fields of Jiangnan East Road and Jinghu North Road to reward meritorious soldiers and pensions for the fallen soldiers. At the same time, he was exempted from taxes for three years. Due to the financial difficulties of the court, he had to face a large number of recruitment, so he really could not provide gold, silver, money and silk as a reward. Please forgive me for this."

Li Yanqing smiled and said, "It has become a consensus between the government and the opposition and the three armies before using land to reward military merits. As long as the court can allocate reward land in time, I have no objection."

"Thank you, Li Dutong, understands that the Ministry of Revenue will quickly come up with a specific plan for land division. The Privy Council will allocate it to individuals within one month. All prefectures and counties will also actively cooperate to ensure the smooth connection of land rewards. In addition, the plan for the promotion of officials is still under discussion. The results will be issued within ten days. Please tell the generals to be at ease and the court will try its best to ensure fairness and fairness."

Li Yanqing just smiled faintly. He had only one report on his original military merits, but the court had divided it into two. Needless to say, he could guess that something would happen in the subsequent promotion of generals and officials, and he would wait and see.

"I wonder what Mr. Sun felt when Mr. Li was dismissed from prefecture yesterday?" Li Yanqing brought the topic to Li Gang.

A complicated expression flashed in Sun Fu's eyes. In fact, he knew very well why Li Gang was dismissed from prefecture. The government had decided to end the Song and Jin war with compromise and peace talks. Naturally, he could not tolerate the resurgence of Li Gang in Zhizheng Hall. In fact, Li Yanqing was the same. If it weren't for Li Yanqing's military power, he would have been driven out of the capital by the government. He drove Li Gang away, and the military-political alliance between Li Yanqing and Li Gang were broken up.

Sun Fu smiled bitterly and said, "The situation in the court has been very complicated recently. After the officials ascended the throne, they faced the war to defend Tokyo. Many things that were originally needed were put down. Now that the war is over, the things that were delayed in the past have been brought back to the forefront. Li Dutong can understand that the officials are rectifying the court's principles."

"Reorganizing the court order means asking Mr. Li to dismiss the prime minister?"

Li Yanqing stared at Sun Fu with sharp eyes, "I really can't understand. Can you ask Mr. Sun to solve his doubts?"

Sun Fu pondered and said, "Today or tomorrow, some important officials and internal officials who made serious mistakes in the Jin Dynasty's southern invasion will be liquidated, but this will inevitably cause serious dissatisfaction from the Supreme Emperor. In order to calm the anger of the Supreme Emperor, the official can only aggrieved Mr. Li first, so that he can block the mouths of many people and make the Supreme Emperor feel a little balanced."

"Is Mr. Sun leaking the secret?" Li Yanqing smiled.

"There is no question of leaking the secret. Li Dutong is the military commander and has the right to know about this. I also came in advance to say hello to Li Dutong."

“I wonder who will be liquidated?”

"Wang Fu is the first to be hit, followed by Liang Shicheng and Li Yan, and Cai Jing. However, Cai Jing is old and the government may release him once. Cai You and Gao Qiu, they cannot escape this liquidation. Although they are not in the court, it does not affect the court's punishment for them."

Li Yanqing was silent for a moment and said, "Gao Qiu holds heavy troops and announces punishment to him. Will it be beneficial to the stability of the country? Please consider this carefully."

"I will definitely bring Li Dutong's opinions to the officials and Zhizheng Hall. It's not too late, so I'll say goodbye first!"

"Please wait for Mr. Sun!"

Li Yanqing returned to his official room and took a letter back and handed it to Sun Fu. "The Intelligence Department arrested a secret spy from the Jin Kingdom yesterday. This was a letter from him. It was a reply written by Wang Fu to Wanyan Xieye. This is also the ironclad evidence that Wang Fu colluded with the Jin Kingdom."

Sun Fu was overjoyed, took the letter and asked, "Where is the spy in the Jin Kingdom?"

Li Yanqing shook his head, "I'm sorry, the spy has committed suicide by taking poison, but you can search Wang Fu's home now and you will definitely find the letters Wanyan Xie also gave him."

"Thank you, Mr. Li, I've said goodbye!"

Li Yanqing smiled and said, "Tell the official family for me that although Liang Shicheng stood in the wrong team at a critical moment, he once saved the life of Concubine Zheng and hoped that the official family would handle it as appropriate."

Sun Fu looked at Li Yanqing deeply, "I will report to the official family truthfully!"

He bowed to Li Yanqing and hurriedly left with the letter. Li Yanqing sent Sun Fu out of the gate and looked at Sun Fu's carriage away. Li Yanqing turned around and asked, "When is it?"

"It's almost noon."
