In Lin'an Prefecture, the Southern Song Dynasty, the autumn rain was drizzling. Several sedan chairs were carried by the sedan chair to reach the gate of the palace one by one. Several figures walked down from the sedan chair. One person in front looked back and said in surprise, "Scholar Shi, Li Shenzhi?"

The Shishi Master, who was more than ten steps behind, immediately walked over with a smile, "I have met Zheng Xiang, and Ziyou was studying the scriptures at home, and suddenly received a quick call from the Central Envoy, and the censor had important matters to discuss with him."

The scholar of Shi Songzhi was Shi Songzhi, whose courtesy name was Ziyou. He has been in charge of Jingxiang for many years since he passed the Jinshi 18 years ago. Last year, because he ordered Meng Gong to reinforce Jiangling, Meng Gong broke through the 24th formation of the Mongolian army in Jiangling, regained the looted tens of thousands of people, and lifted the siege of Jiangling, and was promoted to the bachelor of Huawen Pavilion.

However, Shi Songzhi is a perfect peace talker. He has been advocating peace talks since the beginning of the Mongolian-Song War. He actually can't pee in the same pot with a war-torn war-torn faction like Meng Gong.

But how to say it, Shi Songzhi was also a capable civil minister. He had been elite Jinghu for many years and had built a relatively stable Jingxiang defense line for the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty. Meng Gong, a general, was also a military general under the command of Shi Songzhi, the general of Jinghu.

Following Shi Songzhi's words, Zheng Zheng Qingzhi smiled slightly, "I have already stopped being a preface and should not be called such a title."

Zheng Qingzhi was the second prime minister of the Zhao Yun Dynasty who succeeded to the throne after Shi Miyuan, a powerful minister. However, Zheng Qingzhi, 62 years old this year, had a fluctuation in the prime minister and was not smooth sailing.

The first time he stopped prime minister was when the Mongolians invaded the Song Dynasty. The Ogedei troops were divided into three groups, from Jianghuai, Jingxiang and Sichuan to invade. However, at the beginning, the Song army fought vigorously and defended them quite steadily, which made the Mongolian army almost unable to break the situation. There was a coward named Wang Min. As the chief general of Peiping, an important town in Xiangyang, was actually frightened by the Mongolian army's offensive and took the initiative to surrender to Mongolia, which led to the opening of the front line.

From there, the Mongolian army broke through many places in Jingxiang, and almost the Bingfeng was unstoppable. At the critical moment, it was not Meng Gong who blocked everything and dragged the Mongolian army until last year before declaring the failure of the southern invasion. This battle is really hard to say.

At that time, after Wang Min surrendered, the government and the country were shocked, and Zheng Qingzhi, a civilian leader, was dismissed from prefecture.

Qiao Xingjian was appointed as the new prime minister.

But in fact, Zhao Yun, the official family, has always valued Zheng Qingzhi. Qiao Xingjian, who was in power, knew that Zheng Qingzhi was more famous and influential than him in the court and the country. The reason... Prime Minister Qiao was too old.

Zheng Qingzhi is already considered an old man at the age of 62. What about Prime Minister Qiao? He is already in his eighties this year. At this age, Prime Minister Qiao is powerless and does not have much energy to manage political affairs.

In the feudal era, when an elderly man who lived to his eighties did not have so much energy to preside over the government affairs of a country?

While Zheng Qingzhi and Shi Songzhi were joking, another person came from behind. Shi Songzhi's face changed slightly, but he still laughed in a low voice, "Is it possible that there was an important military intelligence on the front line that was related to Luzhou? Even the barbarian Li Qiang's father was urgently attracted."

Li Zong, whose courtesy name was Qiangfu, passed the Jinshi 33 years ago. He is definitely an old senior in the imperial examination world. When the other party passed the imperial examination, Shi Songzhi, a bachelor in the Huawen Pavilion, was only 16 years old and was still a young man.

However, Shi Songzhi and Li Zongmiong, one sect and the other stakeholder, naturally had a relationship that was not much better. Li Zongmiong is currently the chief political affairs of the small court, and he is definitely the deputy prime minister, and he is much more powerful than Shi Songzhi.

Zheng Qingzhi was dismissed from prime minister, Qiao Xingjian, who was in his 80s, did not have so much energy to handle government affairs. Deputy Prime Minister Li in the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty was the one who was truly in charge of the overall situation.

In Shi Songzhi's low complaint, Li Zongmian looked at Shi Songzhi disdainfully, and then respectfully bowed to Zheng Qingzhi, "Havenly known as the Grand Secretary."

When Zheng Qingzhi was dismissed from prime minister, he still held the position of Grand Secretary of Guanwen Hall and was promoted to Dongxiao Palace.

During the meeting with Vice Li, Zheng Qingzhi smiled and said, "Okay, we are not outsiders, and we don't have to go back and forth, don't let the officials wait in a hurry. This time, the urgent move is 800,000,000 troops in Chahan are besieging Luzhou. Du Zixin is a capable minister who knows the army, but the situation is hard to say."

Li Zongmeng Ning focused on the point, "If you want to protect the south of the Yangtze River, you must first defend the north of the Yangtze River, and Luzhou cannot make any mistakes."

Speaking of this, the deputy prime minister glared at Shi Songzhi again, his eyes very sharp. A few years ago, Mongolia invaded the south in an all-out war. Wang Min took the important town of Xiangyang to surrender without fighting, which led to the later crisis in the imperial court.

In Li Zongmian's mind, the main reason was the blame for the peace-making faction like Shi Songzhi.

After all, Shi Songzhi served as the general of Jinghu for many years, and whether it is the powerful general Meng Gong or Wang Min who surrendered, they are all generals under his tent.

Who else can be placed in a critical position if Shi Songzhi takes the blame?

The Lords and the Sect? How did Jingkang's shame come about? Isn't it just that the Lords and the Sect become fools and are taken away by the sect? Even a fierce man like Yue Wumu almost subdue his hometown to welcome the existence of the Two Saints, and was also lost by the Lords and the Sect.

Even if Shi Songzhi was a meritorious person, he did a good job in military farming during his tenure during his tenure in Jinghu. A few years ago, the Southern Song Dynasty went north to try to conquer the three capitals. The food and money needed were basically produced by Shi Songzhi's military farming, with food and money of hundreds of thousands of stones... But his label of being a lord and sect was enough to make Li Zongmian regard it as a thorn in the flesh.

Not to mention, Shi Songzhi, the former general in Jinghu, was still the one who flattered Shi Miyuan and became the treacherous minister, which made Li Zongmian even more disliked.

It is also said that after the death of the powerful minister Shi Miyuan, Zhao Yunchu took over the years, he promoted Li Zongmian, Du Fan, Zhao Rutan, Xu Qingsou, etc., but in later generations, he was evaluated as Xiao Yuanyou's court.

Who was Dayuanyou? During the reign of Emperor Zhezong of Song Zhezong, Wang Anshi reformed that era.

What is Wang Anshi's status in history? Li Zongmian, a vote of civil officials and a vote of military generals such as Meng Gong, can be regarded by later generations as Xiao Yuanyou who directly chased Wang Anshi's era, which is enough to witness this period that there is still hope for the Southern Song Dynasty.

It was nothing more than a bug in Mongolia... After sweeping across the Eurasian continent, it almost beat the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty with the power of the entire continent.

The grassland invasion faced by the land of China in history has never been as unstoppable as Mongolia.

At this moment, a figure hurriedly ran from the imperial city. When he saw Zheng Qingzhi, Li Zongmian, Shi Songzhi and other ministers gathered outside the palace gate, the figure immediately said anxiously, "All the scholars, the officials have been anxious and sent the internal ministers to urge..."

Seeing this, Li Zongmian no longer became entangled in the conflict between the few people and immediately stepped forward, "Inner Supervisor, what happened to me? But Luzhou has changed?"

The eunuch in front of him was Zhao Yun's personal eunuch Dong Songchen. Twenty years later, when Song Lizong was in power, the famous treacherous prime minister Ding Daquan rose up by begging eunuchs like Dong Songchen.

Of course, in the late period of Lizong's reign 10 or 20 years later, Zhao Yun began to enter the feudal emperor's habit of being addicted to wine and sex, which allowed Dong Songchen to strengthen his power. Now, Lizong had just been in power for three or four years, and he was still a bit wise and decisive. Dong Songchen of this era was not qualified to show off in front of prime ministers such as Li Zongmian.

"Master Zheng, Li Shenzhi, the villain dares to say that it is not a bad thing for the official to summon you, please leave quickly."

Dong Songchen's smile was humble, and he felt even more shocking and absurd.
