Zhaodefang, inner courtyard, study.

Four small tables are placed in the middle, with a futon on the Song River, a high handle, and seven square Buddhas. Han Shizhong is sitting on the ground, and Yang Lin is sitting on the top.

Yang Lin glanced at the four people, each with a different expression. As soon as the door opened, two maids brought the tea tray, teapot and cups.

A cup of hot tea was poured on the small table in front of everyone. The two of them knelt down next to Yang Lin, waiting for refills of water.

Yang Lin waved his hand and motioned for them to exit. The two little maids bent down and backed out slowly, closing the door.

Song Jiang knew this already, and took the lead to break the silence and said: "Young Master, you have summoned us here today, what are your orders?"

Yang Lin held a small tea bowl not much bigger than his thumb and said with a smile: "I invite you to come and drink tea."

Gao Bing picked up the tea bowl, drank it all in one gulp, and said: "After drinking such good tea from Shao Zai, I wish I could risk my life to repay you. If Shao Zai has something to do, just follow your orders, go up the mountain of knives and go down into the sea of ​​fire. Gao Bing will never frown for you."

.”

Han Shizhong participated in this kind of activity for the first time. He was very nervous. He was more careful than commanding thousands of troops. His men were sweating and sat upright. He thought to himself, this is what happened after I entered the Privy Council. No, I can't.

Show timidity.

He swallowed the tea in front of him and didn't feel anything at all. He said in a low voice: "I am just like Gao Dianshuai."

Three people had already expressed their stance, and only Fang Qifu was left. All four people in the room looked at him.

Fang Qifu was wondering why this teacup was so small and had paintings engraved on it. It was so ingenious. Fang Qifu was amazed and thought about what to say and take back a few. Wouldn't it be a great honor to entertain guests?

.

When he raised his head, he felt four eyes. He was stunned for a moment and his face began to turn red.

"Hehe, hehe." Fang Qifo smiled coyly while nodding towards the four of them.

Yang Lin, who was originally full of confidence, felt a little discouraged for a moment. Are these the four confidants he relies on as his arms?

Just because of them, they are planning to usurp the throne? Is that okay?

Yang Lin said angrily: "I want to be the King of Yan, and I will be promoted to a royal title. What do you think?"

Gao Bing hurriedly said: "Young Master has regained Youyun and should have been crowned king long ago. This matter is in line with God's will and the people's will. It should be done sooner rather than later."

Han Shizhong also nodded repeatedly and praised: "Gao Dianshuai spoke sincerely. I, Han Wu, feel the same way."

At this time, Song Jiang stood up, cupped his fists slightly, and said, "Young Master, this is inappropriate."

Gao Bian slapped the table, and Yang Lin pressed his hand to signal him to calm down.

Song Jiang paced around the room and said: "Young Master, the previous time we took back Youyan and resigned from the title of king three times, it has become a good story. If you overthrow it yourself, wouldn't it be a bit embarrassing?"

Yang Lin blushed and said, "Keep talking."

"If you want to be promoted to a king, it's easy. Just continue to expand the territory. Now there is a ready-made thing in front of you. With our deliberate connivance, Jiaozhi has been engaged in a civil war between the north and the south for more than a year, and the fight has been so intense that nine out of ten families

null."

When Song Jiang said this, he glanced at Fang Qifu, who nodded sincerely and said: "The death of a dead person is tragic."

Song Jiang continued: "If that's the case, Shao Zai can personally conquer Jiaozhi, take back this long-divided land, and recreate the Jiaozhi County of the Great Qin Dynasty. How about we take advantage of the situation and submit a letter to promote Shao Zai as the king of Yue?"

Yang Lin pondered for a moment and felt that it was not a bad idea. After all, the recovery of Youyun was a result of past achievements, and most of them were recovered through wrangling and negotiation. Although there were many bloody battles, there was no hearty victory.

The Li Dynasty who went south to Jiaozhi was already exhausted. These people started a civil war. They were really ruthless. Killing their own compatriots was like killing nine generations of enemies.

If I go south, I can wipe out Zhong Xiang's traitors and restore peace to the three provinces of Jingchu, Jiangnan and Lingnan.

It now appears that the implementation of the New Deal has little resistance in the north.

Hebei and Hedong were already extremely poor, and the New Deal gave them an opportunity. People in these places were too late to be grateful, so naturally they would not object.

Qin, Long, Shaanxi and Gansu were facing constant wars, and the implementation of the New Deal was also good for them. Especially the Western Region Trade Road and the Ancient Tea Horse Road made the local area prosperous.

Now it seems that it is Jiangnan, the hometown of scholar-bureaucrats, that resists the most fiercely.

For this reason, they even did not hesitate to form an alliance with the rebels, colluded with the Jin people, and even invited foreigners into the Song Dynasty.

It seemed that Jiangnan had to be visited again. Yang Lin's bones all over his body ached and he seemed to have begun to protest.

I just took a break for less than half a year. If possible, I really don’t want to move again.

Every time I go out of Beijing, I lose half my life from exhaustion. Fortunately, this time it is not particularly urgent.

After Song Jiang finished speaking, everyone present except Fang Qifuyouzaiyouzai stood up and seconded his opinion.

When Yang Lin saw that people were unanimous, he no longer hesitated and said: "In that case, I will go to Jiaozhi to recover the old territory of Yue, and then ask for the title of King of Yue."

When Han Shizhong heard that there was going to be a war, he asked: "I don't know how many troops Shao Zai will lead. I will be willing to serve as the vanguard for Shao Zai."

Yang Lin thought for a while, then waved his hand and said: "Youyan's top priority is that there is a powerful enemy in the north, ten times more powerful than Jiaozhi. You must not leave the Great Wall lightly, let alone mobilize the troops and horses of the Great Wall."

Now is the time to grab the credit. Everyone knows that Jiaozhi is already ripe, so they will wait for Shao Zai to pick it. Gao Bing hurriedly said: "The new army in the Beijing camp is willing to work hard for Shao Zai."

Yang Lin nodded and said: "Take 20,000 forbidden troops and leave 20,000. Liu Qi originally had 20,000 new troops in Jiaozhi. After I leave, Song Jiang, you must restrain the Hu soldiers in Dongda camp. Those people are all

This is your old department, remember no matter what happens, you cannot be transferred out of Bianliang."

Song Jiang cupped his fists and said, "I understand."

Bianliang is the top priority. After I leave, I will definitely have to explain a few words to Yang Jian, Cai Jing, Chao Li, Xu Zhichang and other close confidants. These people should also know what they know.

"Twenty thousand troops and horses, isn't it a little too little?" Han Shizhong knew that he had no chance to go, but he couldn't help but remind him.

Yang Lin shook his head and said: "There are already hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Dali, plus the vassal army of Jiaozhi that we support. I will order the Nanhai Navy to cooperate in the battle. The number is enough."

Speaking of this, Yang Lin suddenly remembered something. Except for the Kingdom of Jin, all the people around the Song Dynasty were his vassals.

Taking care of them on weekdays, and coming to play the autumn breeze during holidays, what kind of vassal is this? It's like spending money to support a group of live fathers. In fact, last time I tried a little bit and asked them to ask for maids to serve the emperor.

These small countries are quite docile and happy.

That's what a big country is like. It can't just show favors, it must properly show its majesty. Let these little brothers know who is the big brother.
