The Northern Han King Li Hu openly threatened Bian Jing and asked Prince Yun to serve as the commander of the Western Expedition Army. T7 generals and beg Bian Jing to set up a military marshal's office in the northwest to command the Western Expedition. The two echoed each other and publicly supported Prince Yun, which was actually supporting the emperor to abolish the legitimate and establish a illegitimate wife.

If the Western Expedition is to succeed, Bianjing and the Northwest Commander, the Northwest Commander and the Hulie Mansion, the Northwest Generals and the Northwest Generals must work together and unite as one. Now the Emperor of Bianjing and the King of the East and West Administration, Cai You, is in the same mind. After the King of Yun arrived in the northwest, he immediately received support from King Li Hu of Han and the Northwest Generals. The unity that affected the success or failure of the Western Expedition has been properly resolved. The success of the Western Expedition can be predicted. Once the Western Expedition is successful, Prince Yun will make achievements and enter the Eastern Palace, then a close interest relationship will be established between him and King Li Hu of Han, and the Northwest Generals. This interest relationship will be manifested in the court as a faction, and this faction is a faction based on vassal states and generals, which will affect the foundation of the Song Dynasty, the national policy of the Song Dynasty, and the overall interests of the civil officials of the Song Dynasty.

The civil servants of Bianjing were very clear about this, so they strongly opposed it, and even refused to speak out for death to prevent the emperor from abolishing the law because of Prince Yun and shaking the foundation of the Song Dynasty. The emperor was actually very clear about this, but the failure of the Northern Expedition gave him great stimulation. He did not believe in the civil servants anymore. He sent the eunuch Tan to preside over the military affairs of the northern border, and asked the eunuch Liang Fangping to Hebei to recruit soldiers to rebuild the Hebei Town and Governor. This was enough to show his anger and helplessness.

In order to maintain their vested interests, the civil officials of the Song Dynasty did not hesitate to internal struggles in the reforms, and the party struggles continued to this day. In the Northern Expedition, they became even more severe, and even ignored the interests of the country and fought bloody battles, which led to the Northern Expedition Army's defeat in two battles with absolute chances of victory, which made the Northern Expedition fail.

The emperor could not bear it. He had to curb the civil servants' devour from the Song Dynasty, so he did not hesitate to violate the ancestral system and appointed eunuchs in large quantities. However, the eunuch's identity restricted their power. Even if the emperor gave the greatest trust and support, he was not a rival to the civil servants. Tong Guan's resignation is a good example. As for Wang, Cai You and others, although the monarch and ministers had a good personal relationship, once the interests of civil servants were involved, they still had to obey the emperor and secretly wanted to give it a lie. For twenty years, Cai Jing has dealt with the emperor, so he had to go up and down.

This time, in order to win the Western Expedition, the King of Han and the Northwest Generals joined forces to support Prince Yun and pushed Prince Yun to the position of commander of the Western Expedition. Obviously, they learned the lessons of the failure of the Northern Expedition. In this way, they could not only win the emperor's trust and obey the emperor directly, but also use Prince Yun and the Western Expedition to expand their power, and then follow Prince Yun to enter Bianjing.

The emergence of this new situation made the emperor's eyes lit up. Since the eunuch cannot compete with the civil servants, then follow the situation and take advantage of the opportunity of Prince Yun to take over the Eastern Palace to introduce military generals to the court, so that civil servants, military generals and eunuchs can appear in the court, breaking the pattern of civil servants unifying the court, so that they can do whatever they want, and not fail to fail in the Northern Expedition like now, and changing the prince depends on the faces of civil servants, and rack their brains to fight with others all day long.

The emperor kept silent. He threatened the civil servants with silence. Either you are obedient and don’t fight against me, or I will bring military generals into the court and attack your power.

In July, Taiyuan and Yuwen Xuzhong hurried to Taiyuan. Luo Sinan, the princess who presided over the Hulie Mansion in Datong, wrote a letter to Li Hu. Zong Wang rushed to Datong this month and asked Hulie Mansion to launch a western expedition in July according to the agreement. Luo Sinan delayed it on the grounds that Li Hu went south to Taiyuan and discussed the strategy of the Song army to the west. Zong Wang left immediately, and Wuyan, who accompanied him, secretly told Luo Sinan before leaving that the emperor of the Jin Kingdom was seriously ill and had already urgently summoned Wu Qimai, the deputy chief of Huanglong Mansion, to rush to the tent. The Jin Kingdom might change the world soon.

After reading Luo Sinan's writing, Li Hu was secretly shocked. Huanglong Mansion was like Bianjing, and the power struggle was very fierce. The Jurchen tribe was originally a major alliance, and the Bojilie system was actually an alliance center. Wanyan Aguda had great prestige and could control various divisions, but once he died, Wu Qimai might not be able to control various divisions. The tribe bosses each had their own interests. In order to stabilize the Jurchen tribe and balance the power of each division, Wu Qimai would make more compromises. In this way, the national policy of the Jin Kingdom would change accordingly. If Huanglong Mansion revised the plan to unify the north, concentrate its efforts to fight Datong first and replace the north, then Hu Lie Mansion would be in trouble.

"When will the Xixia people return the Tiande Army?" Li Hu asked with a frown.

"It probably will take some time." Yuwen Xuzhong said. "Our local envoys will have to discuss specific negotiations with the Xixia people after they arrive in Xingqing Prefecture. In addition, Cha Ge proposed a marriage. The marriage will take time. If the Xixia people deliberately delay it, the negotiation may have to be delayed until winter."

"Winter is here. It's snowing heavily. Even if we want to fight, we have to delay until next spring." Li Gang was worried and shook his head repeatedly. "The local affairs in Bianjing are very complicated. There will be no results within a few months. So if nothing unexpected happens, it will be said.

Yanzhi speculated that the Western Expedition would not begin until tomorrow spring at the earliest.

"But who can guarantee that Wanyan Aguda will not die?" Huang Shedi's tone was very urgent and anxious. "Since Wanyan Aguda urgently summoned Wu Qimai, it means that his health is not good. Otherwise, he would not have risked the risk of civil strife in Huanglong Mansion to summon Wu Qimai to the account."

Li Gang and Yu Wen Xuzhong looked at each other and looked very serious.

"The situation in Youyan is very bad." Yuwen Xuzhong said, "We contacted Guo Yaoshi and Zhang Jue. The two sent a letter to each other and expressed concern about the situation in Youyan. Now Wanyan's mother is fighting with Zhang Jue on Pingzhou Road. Zhang Jue has no reinforcements, and the situation is stalemate. Although Guo Yaoshi expanded his army rapidly, in order to curb him, Bian Jing controlled the military capital and organization very strictly. There was no organization and no money. Guo Yaoshi was powerless and helpless. But what's more serious is that Bian Jing was implementing the strategy of "changing officials" and "granting fields" in Youyan, which seriously intensified the conflict between the officials and the people of Youyan."

The so-called "change of officials" means that Bian Jing transferred a large number of Han people from all prefectures and counties in Youyan to serve in the mainland, and assigned Song Dynasty officials to Youyan. The purpose of this seems to be to win over the Han tribes of Youyan, invite them to Bian Jing, so that they can feel the great emperor's kindness, which will help Youyan's stability, but in fact it means distrust and dare not let them stay in Youyan. Of course, the Han people in Youyan are unwilling to leave their hometowns, and the Song people do not accept the Han people in the north, thinking that they are the enemy. If the conflicts continue for a long time, the problems will be serious. These people may be betray the Song Dynasty. When the Song officials arrived in Youyan, they did not understand Youyan, and did not start from reality. Everything was followed by the Song system and forced to implement the Song system. The result was self-evident.

The strategy of "giving land" comes from the Song and Jin alliance. According to the alliance, the Song Dynasty recovered the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, while the Jin people occupied Tokyo, Shangjing and Zhongjing. The populations of these three places belonged to the Jin Kingdom. This agreement seemed to be fine, but when the Jurchens returned to Yanjing, they suddenly told the Song Dynasty that all the soldiers and civilians in Yanyun's northeast would be returned to the Jin Kingdom.

This made sense when he heard it, and the Song Dynasty had no reason to refuse. As a result, the Jin Kingdom immediately asked Guo Yaoshi and the Changsheng Army. Guo Yaoshi and his Changsheng Army were originally composed of Han people in the Northeast and came from the earliest resentful army. Since the Northeast people were all the population of the Jin Kingdom, the Changsheng Army had to be returned to the Jin Kingdom for granted.

Guo Yaoshi and the Changsheng Army cannot be given to the Jin Kingdom anyway. This is not only related to the issue of Xinyi, but also to Youyan's safety.

The Song Dynasty was eager to establish a powerful Youyan garrison army. For the time being, Guo Yaoshi and Changsheng Army had to rely on Guo Yaoshi and Changsheng Army to guard Youyan. Therefore, Tong Guan, Cai You and Wang Anzhong thought of a plan to kill two birds with the Youyan Han people in exchange for the Eternal Winning Army. In this way, the Eternal Winning Army stayed, and the houses and land of the Youyan Han people taken away by the Jin people could be distributed to the Eternal Winning Army to assist the military funds. So the Jin people were satisfied and the Eternal Winning Army was happy. The Song Dynasty did not suffer any losses and everyone was very happy. At this moment, these people forgot the innocent Youyan people and destroyed the hearts of the Youyan Han people to the extreme.

Soon, the Jin Dynasty moved all the wealth of Youyan with more than 150 stagnant, including about 30,000 households, and swept away many scholars, officials, craftsmen, advocates, monks, Taoists, temples, etc. from Yanjing and other prefectures and counties.

Empress Xiao charged Youyan with heavy taxes, Li Hu went to Yanjing and swept it again, and the Jurchens shaved three feet away. You can imagine how bad Youyan had been.

The people of Youyan need to eat and survive, the government of Youyan needs to operate, the officials of Youyan need to support, and the army of Youyan needs military funds. Where does this money come from? Of course, it is provided by the Song Dynasty, and it is plundered by the Song Dynasty, and it has to be sent to Youyan from thousands of miles away by the Song Dynasty.

"Since the Northern Expedition, the court has increased taxes in Hedong, Hebei and Shandong. The people have suffered from exploitation and dispatch, and are overwhelmed." Yuwen Xuzhong sighed, "The power and powerful make a fortune, while the power and power are getting poorer and poorer. There are countless people who are poor overnight, and the already poor have no place to stand."

"It's going to be chaos, the Song Dynasty is going to be chaos." Li Gang looked at Li Hu with helplessness, "Niang Jing not only did his best to alleviate the crisis, but was caught in a dispute over imperial rule and power, and the monarch and ministers were fighting in full swing. They only had their own interests in their eyes, so how could the people's life and death or the country's survival?"

Li Hu was guilty and bowed his head and said nothing.

There were few people in Hulien's Mansion who knew the purpose of Li Hu going south to Taiyuan. Li Gang did not know until Li Hu asked Bian Jing to let the king be the commander of the Western Expedition to know that Li Hu had been persuaded by Zhe Yanzhi and had openly confronted Bian Jing. Yuwen Xuzhong took the opportunity to go south in order to dissuade Li Hu and not to fight with Bian Jing for the time being, and would rather launch the Western Expedition as soon as possible, so as not to lose a great opportunity.
