Recover Yanjing.

Zhan Du felt that now was the best opportunity to send troops north again to regain the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun.

Zhao Ji was tempted again.

The last failure made Zhao Ji very unwilling. It was clear that he was only a little bit away from completing the majestic feat of regaining the sixteen states of Yanyun that none of the previous emperors of the Zhao and Song Dynasties could accomplish, and becoming the emperor of the ages.

But just by a small margin, Zhao Ji missed the huge achievement of recovering the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun.

Nowadays, the situation in Yanjing is even worse, and there are really many people in Yanjing like Li Chuwen, Li Shi and his son who hope that the Zhao and Song Dynasty will regain Yanjing and give them a stable living environment.

The key point is that after such a long period of investigation, the Zhao and Song Dynasties have basically determined that Yanjing is really in these situations now.

Zhao Ji felt that it would be too cowardly for him not to regain the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun.

But at the same time, Zhao Ji really couldn't believe the Song Army's combat effectiveness, which had disappointed him time and time again - Zhao Ji was really afraid that the Song Army would give him another "surprise".

All in all, Zhao Ji now not only wants to take advantage of this opportunity to recover Yanjing, and then use Yanjing as the basis to recover all the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun and the three prefectures of Pingluanying, but he is also worried that if he fails to steal the chicken, he will lose the rice.

After much deliberation, Zhao Ji sent someone to find Wang Fu to see what Wang Fu, the prime minister, had to say.

At this time, Wang Fu was burning incense and worshiping Buddha in the Main Hall of Xiangguo Temple, wishing for the smooth recovery of the sixteen states of Yanyun, so that he could secure his position as prime minister.

Xiangguo Temple is a royal temple located in a prosperous place in Bianliang City, Tokyo. It is large in scale, has majestic temples, and has nearly a thousand monks. It is the largest temple in contemporary times.

Xiangguo Temple is open to the public on the first, fifteenth and eighth days of every month.

At that time, Xiangguo Temple became a big market, with people coming from all directions to burn incense and worship Buddha, to set up stalls to do business, and to hang out and watch sideshows. There were all kinds of things, and it was extremely lively.

Today is not an open day.

But it doesn't matter. If Wang Fu, the prime minister, wants to come in, who dares to stop him?

This is the benefit of power.

After burning the incense, Wang Fu took a leisurely stroll in Xiangguo Temple.

Unknowingly, Wang Fu came to the corridor of the main hall.

There are some famous calligraphy hanging here.

Wang Fu came to a poem with familiarity:

All things are born in heaven and earth, and the prosperity and decline of creation are great. The fortunes of the four seasons are endless, and the meaning of the world's articles comes first.

This is what Cai Jing left behind.

Cai Jing's calligraphy is excellent, with charming brushwork and bold and vigorous calligraphy.

Cai Jing's poems are also very artistic.

But these are not what Wang Fu cares about.

What Wang Fu is interested in is Cai Jing's inscription - Sikong Kaifu Yi Tong Sansi Zhongtaiyi Palace Envoy Shangshu Zuopushe Taiwei Taishi led Cai Jing, the Duke of Lu State in the three provinces.

——The longer the signature, the higher the seniority, the higher the position, and the greater the credit.

The person Wang Fu admires most in his life is Cai Jing, the person he respects the most is also Cai Jing, and similarly, the person he most wants to defeat is Cai Jing.

But if he followed the rules, Wang Fu felt that he might never see Cai Jing's taillights in his lifetime.

Fortunately, Wang Fu came across a God-given opportunity to regain the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun.

Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty left a will: The king who regains the sixteen states of Yanyun.

Wang Fu felt that this prince was prepared for him.

Don’t you see, Yanjing is already dying?

Wang Fu felt that as long as there was an opportunity, he would be able to convince Zhao Ji who also wanted to regain the sixteen states of Yanyun.

At this moment, a servant came and said that Zhao Ji was anxious to see him.

Wang Fu did not dare to neglect and rushed to the palace to meet Zhao Ji.

When Wang Fu heard Zhao Ji say that Zhao Ji wanted to send more troops north to regain the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, he immediately agreed, and then helped Zhao Ji carefully analyze the situation, and said with certainty that the Song Dynasty would send troops again

Recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun will definitely be successful in one fell swoop.

Zhao Ji felt that Wang Fu's analysis was very reasonable, so he made up his mind to send troops again to regain the sixteen states of Yanyun.

However, now there is a problem, that is, who can be appointed to take charge of it?

But before Zhao Ji and Wang Fu could discuss a suitable candidate, Yangzhou Magistrate Cai Yi suddenly reported urgently: Li Cun was back!
