"Who says it's not true?" The older man also sighed. "This is the real meaning of giving away clothes to others and giving away food to others. What's even more rare is that they give away everything they have in times of trouble... It's a pity that there are still people who are not satisfied."

Zhang Jun's heart moved slightly, but he took a piece of frozen meat and drank a cup of wine before looking up. Then he pointed to the direction of the central hall and asked casually, "Who are you talking about, Brother Zhao?"

"Who else could it be?" Brother Zhao, that is, Zhao Ding Zhao Yuanzhen, shook his head and sneered again. "As a minister, he has no etiquette as a minister. The emperor himself did not even use it, but he was the first to give him the ginger and fermented black beans. As a result, when he found out, he scolded the emperor for going out without permission and going to the market, causing disturbances to the people. Obviously, the emperor did not want to disturb the people, so he did not go to the market at all. Even Yang and Liu, the two favorite generals of the emperor, were scolded, and Yang Yizhong was demoted one rank... It is said that several people who lived close to him, such as Lu Xianggong, Yu Wenshi and others, hurriedly distributed the ginger and fermented black beans to their subordinates, fearing that they would cause trouble. As a result, when he returned, he and his son ate comfortably."

Zhang Jun also shook his head when he heard this, but slowly responded: "It's okay, these are all trivial matters... Besides, after the emperor fell into the well, everyone knows that he trusts Li Xianggong this time, otherwise, Li Xianggong would not be allowed to sit in the middle hall to handle everything."

"I understand." Zhao Ding responded with a serious expression. "The overall situation does require him to be cautious. But wait and see. In three to five months, when Nanyang is stable, we will move to Luoyang. If he still treats Your Majesty like a child, I will definitely impeach him in person."

Zhang Jun nodded repeatedly, as if he agreed with the other party's opinion.

The young man next to him, Hu Yin, Hu Mingzhong, didn't care about these topics at all. After pouring the wine, he drank by himself and had already secretly eaten half a bowl of frozen meat.

Zhao Ding is 43 years old this year, Zhang Jun is 12 years old, and Hu Yin and Hu Mingzhong are 13 years old. Moreover, one is from Shanxi, one is from Sichuan, and one is from Fujian. They have different qualifications, ages, official positions, and places of origin. They are completely unrelated. If they were in Tokyo in the past, they would have to attend a court banquet if they wanted to drink together.

However, things are unpredictable, and these three people are now friends for life and death...really friends for life and death!

Thinking back to the Jingkang Incident when the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed, these three people, plus the counselor Song Qiyu who was chopped off by Li Gang, either out of fear of death or out of desire to survive, fled together to the Imperial Academy, and together they abandoned Zhang Bangchang and came to Emperor Zhao's house.

According to conspiracy theories, these people have already formed a small political group with extraordinary potential.

However, although this small group was close friends and extremely reliable, they clearly lacked a leader and organization (otherwise Song Qiyou would not have killed them), and each person had different political views... For example, Zhao Ding also wanted to fight against the Jin Dynasty, but he believed that the internal situation should be stabilized first, and then the restoration could be carried out; as the saying goes, one must first stabilize the country before fighting the enemy; Hu Yin was much more radical, he believed that the current emperor should not even ascend the throne, but should face north to welcome back the two saints; as for Zhang Jun, it was a little hard to say, but some people vaguely mocked him for being servile and trying to guess the emperor's intentions before making strategies!

Of course, in general, the same experience in Tokyo made them realize the barbarity and cunning of the Jin people, so they raised a common banner of no peace and determination to resist the Jin people!

Then, because of the generally low official positions before, there was an additional layer of selfish desire to support each other to get promoted.

In fact, the reason why Zhang Jun was able to successfully ascend to the throne that day was due to the cooperation of the three people... After Zhao Jiu issued the decree at that time, the three people who had already been suspicious made arrangements. Among them, Zhao Ding spoke with maturity and prudentness, Zhang Jun criticized Li Gang, and Hu Yin persuaded the emperor to cross the river to welcome back the two saints. They all worked together.

In the end, after Zhang Jun won the bet, Zhang Deyuan did not forget his two good brothers. Zhao Ding was immediately recommended from the position of the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Revenue to the position of the Imperial Censor, and Hu Yin was also recommended from the position of the Recorder to the position of the Secretary of the Central Secretariat. They were all noble and important, and they could have daily contact with the government!

Obviously, now that the situation has paused, the oldest among them, Zhao Ding, is impatient again. Only Zhang Jun is now deeply favored by the emperor and knows that Li Gang cannot be easily shaken, so he appeased him a little.

The trip was simple, and after finishing a pot of ginger and fermented black beans, they ate two bowls of hot rice with some seasonings and daily winter vegetables, and their stomachs were full. Then, Zhao Ding, one of the three, was from Hedong, and he took his entire family who had fled with him, so he returned to the tent outside to take care of his family, while Hu Yin simply stayed and prepared to sleep with Zhang Jun.

However, just as the three were about to get up and say goodbye, they suddenly heard a commotion outside, and then they saw a fire lit up in the outer military camp from a distance, and several torches came here at high speed. It seemed that some scouts and messengers were riding horses in the camp regardless of the late hour, alarming the families of some officials.

The three of them looked at each other without saying anything, and rushed to the central hall together... But while they were still on the way, they heard accurate news:

The main force of the Jin army suddenly appeared in the lower reaches of the Yellow River. The vanguard Wanyan Zongbi, also known as the fourth prince of the Jin army, Wanyan Wushu, had more than 50,000 troops and had crossed the river, heading straight for the east road of Jingdong! From Liangshan Lake to the east, the entire line along the Yellow River was in danger!

"The emperor actually guessed it right, Jin Wushu really came!" In trance and shock, Zhang Jun instinctively thought of the reminder that Zhao Jiu gave to Zong Ze in Mingdao Palace in the past.

PS: Let me apologize first. I overslept today and it was already past two in the afternoon when I opened my eyes.

Then I thanked the editor for such a great recommendation, and also thanked the website. I received the New Year gift package, which actually included a pair of golden chopsticks and a bowl... The only thing that is certain is that this thing looks like gold, but it can't be gold.

Finally, I will continue to offer my new book - "Zhi Wei"
