Chapter 276 I Have Never Let You Down, and You Have Never Let Me Down, This Is Great

The Nvzhi mentioned by Yelu Renxian were actually the Jurchens and the later Jin Kingdom.

In order to avoid the taboo of Yelu Zhen, the Xingzong of Liao, the Liao Kingdom called the Jurchen tribe "Nvzhi".

But within the Great Zhou Dynasty, they are still called the Jurchen tribe.

At this moment, in the empty hall, Yelu Hongji slowly said:

"You once said that Wei Yuan, the former commander of the Zhou Palace, is a genius. Daizhou garrisoned by him cannot be captured without 300,000 soldiers."

"His teacher Zhang Fu is also a famous general in hundreds of battles. Even though Zhao Zhen is critically ill and the prince is young, with the two of them here, my army's march south may not go smoothly."

Yelvren said first: "What I mean is that if the Nüzhi people join forces with me from the Liao Dynasty to go south, even if they can't capture Daizhou, they can still use this to consume the Nüzhi strength."

Yelu Hongji shook his head and said: "Wanyan Wugunai, the leader of the largest female straight tribe, has deep thoughts. He will not do what you want."

Wanyan Wugunai had a grandson named Wanyan Aguda. His grandson later severely damaged the Liao Kingdom and established the Jin Kingdom.

Yelvren smiled and said, "Although Wanyan Wugunai has a city, if Daliao promises great benefits, he may not be tempted."

"What benefits?" Yelu Hongji asked curiously.

Yelu Renxian's expression suddenly changed, he became extremely serious, and said word by word: "Go south to capture the dragon and divide the world equally."

The four words "going south to capture the dragon" have a certain sacred charm to the various ethnic groups in the northern grasslands.

It is equivalent to the fact that the Central Plains regime has always talked about "going north to Fengchan".

In early March of the seventh year of Jiayou's reign.

After a period of convalescence, Zhao Zhen's condition not only did not improve, but also seemed to be showing signs of seriousness.

In a day, only two or three hours are awake.

Moreover, because he had been lying in bed, injuries had appeared on his body, and even his weight had plummeted, making him look increasingly thin.

On this day, Wei Yuan entered the palace to meet Zhao Zhen.

After Wei Yuan was dismissed, this was the first time that the emperor and his ministers met each other.

In the huge dormitory, there was no one else except a few eunuchs and maids waiting beside Zhao Zhen.

At this moment, Wei Yuan was kneeling in front of the dragon bed, looking at the critically ill Zhao Zhen, filled with emotion in his heart.

I remember that when he first met Zhao Zhen, the aura revealed by him made him terrified, as if he was a tiger descending from the mountain, and if he was not careful, he would be swallowed into his belly.

But now, this tiger is old and sick, and can no longer be called a tiger.

"Guan family, I'm here to say goodbye." After a while, Wei Yuan spoke.

Zhao Zhen slowly opened his eyes, "Now that Wei Qing has left, when do you plan to return?"

Wei Yuan was silent, thought for a while, and said, "When the officials need me, I will come back."

Zhao Zhen forced a smile, "Is it me, the official, or the future official?"

Wei Yuan kowtowed: "Of course it is Your Majesty!"

Zhao Zhen looked at him, "Half a month ago, I promised you to go to the south of the Yangtze River for sightseeing, but now, I feel a little regretful."

Wei Yuan frowned and said, "If the officials don't let me leave, I won't leave."

Zhao Zhen shook his head and said, "Let's go. It will be good for you to leave the capital for the time being."

"I'm just worried that if you leave, I'll never see you again."

Wei Yuan kowtowed again, and after hearing a 'bang' sound, he responded: "The official's illness will eventually be cured."

Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly, "That's you. If it were anyone else, I'm afraid you would have already wished me a long life."

He was already tired of hearing this kind of talk.

There is a destiny between life and death, and even the emperor cannot force it.

"Wei Qing, come closer and let me take a good look at you."

Zhao Zhen stood up halfway with the support of the maid next to him.

Wei Yuan took two steps forward.

Zhao Zhen waved towards him, "Get closer."

Wei Yuan came directly to him.

Zhao Zhen looked at him without saying a word. After an unknown period of time, the late Zhou Dynasty monarch suddenly held Wei Yuan's wrist, like an amiable elder, looking at him with pride. the juniors,

"Good Qing Wei, good boy. Treat me as your king and my ministers. I have never failed you, and you have never failed me. It's very good."

For some reason, Wei Yuan suddenly felt a sore nose, "Guan family."

Zhao Zhen seemed to have used all his strength to pat Wei Yuan's shoulder, showing a kind smile.

"You kid, you are good at everything, but sometimes you are too confident and complacent in doing things, thinking that everything will eventually be achieved after calculation, but no one is a saint, you have to change your temper, otherwise, you will easily be killed in the future. Please take my words to heart."

Wei Yuan nodded vigorously, "I will never forget the great love shown to me by the officials!"

Zhao Zhen waved his hand, "Let's go, let's go."

Wei Yuan bowed his hands and said, "I'm leaving."

He turned around, took two steps, and suddenly knelt down on the ground in the direction where Zhao Zhen was lying, and kowtowed heavily.

"I started at a very young age. Without Your Majesty's support and military control, I would not be where I am today."

"If it weren't for Your Majesty's trust, I wouldn't be here today."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Zhen slowly closed his eyes and didn't respond. He just waved his hand towards him and motioned for him to leave as soon as possible.

Wei Yuan stood up, turned around in three steps, and kowtowed.

Until the moment you step out of the palace gate.

Zhao Zhen stared at his back. After a while, when the tall back disappeared from his eyes, he murmured:

“Good Lord Wei”

The moment Wei Yuan stepped out of the palace door, tears burst out of his eyes unknowingly.

He wiped it gently, stood up straight, took a deep breath, and strode out of the imperial city without looking back.

This meeting may very well be the last time this pair of monarchs and ministers meet.

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect.

Wei Yuan was very lucky that he met Zhao Zhen.

If you meet other emperors, such as the one who killed Yue Fei, or some of the founders of the country.

I'm afraid that he has already died without a burial place.

After leaving the imperial city, Wei Yuan went directly to the city gate.

At this moment, the soldiers of Manjia Camp, Zhang Guifen, Minglan and others were waiting outside the city.

After seeing Wei Yuan's figure, Minglan and the others immediately stepped forward to greet him.

Zhang Guifen couldn't help but tell her: "All the necessary soft goods have been placed on the carriage. The humidity in the south of the Yangtze River is heavy, so officials should take more care of themselves."

Wei Yuan nodded.

Minglan said: "Uncle, my mother is not feeling well and cannot come to see you off. My mother said that you are the Qilin son of the Wei family and you have a great future. Please don't be discouraged by this catastrophe. This catastrophe is not a bad thing. "

Wei Yuan asked: "How is your mother doing now?"

Minglan sighed: "It's just that I have lost my vitality and my body is weak. Nothing else is serious."

Wei Yuan felt relieved and said: "Guifen, please find an opportunity to ask the imperial doctor to take a look at my eldest sister another day."

Zhang Guifen nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm at home, so the officials don't have to worry."

At this time, Wei Yuan suddenly saw Zhang Fu's carriage slowly approaching and stopping not far from the crowd.

Wei Yuan hurriedly stepped forward and was called into the carriage by Zhang Fu.

"Have you just gone to see the official?" Zhang Fu asked.

Wei Yuan nodded slightly, "I've seen it before. The official's health is very poor."

Zhang Fu nodded and said: "Everyone is subject to birth, aging, sickness and death, and saints are no exception."

"Look at this."

While saying this, he handed a secret report to Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan looked at it in detail, his pupils gradually widening, "Can the Jurchen clan have one hundred thousand soldiers?"

Zhang Fu said: "The Imperial City Division spread a message in the Liao Kingdom, saying that if the Jurchens are less than ten thousand, they will be invincible."

"I wonder whether this rumor can provoke conflicts between the Liao Kingdom and the Jurchen clan."

"No matter what, you are a little anxious to leave now."

Wei Yuan said: "With the teacher here, I think there should be no worries about military and national affairs."

Zhang Fu shook his head and sighed: "The official's manipulation of the party struggle is to pave the way for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Now that both prime ministers have gone out of office, Fan Chunren is the one who maintains success. Such a person can easily be controlled by the Crown Prince."

"The officials did not even spare the two prime ministers' partisans, and then dismissed you from your post. How long do you think I can hold the position of prime minister?"

Wei Yuan looked surprised and said, "Isn't that true?"

Not so?

Zhang Fu sneered, "The real purpose of the official's dismissal of you, from the perspective of the teacher, is to sharpen you, and to serve as a teacher."

Wei Yuan said thoughtfully: "Teacher, what you mean is that by dismissing me from my post, the government hopes to move the teacher's position as prime minister?"

Zhang Fu nodded and said: "Our Majesty is a benevolent, righteous and moral monarch. You have been in the countryside for a long time. I don't know how many censors serve as teachers in this court every day, but your Majesty always keeps those memorials. It's I want to give my teacher some dignity.”

Wei Yuan was silent.

Zhang Fu said: "Pay more attention to the trends in the capital. If you feel something is wrong, return to the capital immediately without any hesitation."

Wei Yuan cupped his hands and said, "Teacher, please don't worry, but once the teacher retires, who will take up the position of prime minister?"

Zhang Fu looked at Wei Yuan with a meaningful smile.

Their master and disciple, no matter now or in the future, can only have one person stay in the court.

Zhao Zhen or the prince naturally hopes that that person is Wei Yuan.

After Wei Yuan left Zhang Fu's carriage, he headed to Jiangnan.

Later, Zhang Fu took out a memorial from his arms, which read: "The Privy Envoy please resign Zha Zi."

It doesn't matter when you resign. What matters is that you have to let the officials know your attitude.
