Chapter 132 Zhao Kuangyin read the emperor's edict in public
Chai Yong captured Xiao Yuanli, the commander of the Liao army, and before that, the crown prince Guo Zongxun personally gave him a name, the Chai family warriors, Chai Yong, Guo Rongyi was happy, and directly promoted Chai Yong from Yue Fei's personal soldiers to General Huwei.
"The end will be."
Chai Yong glanced at Niu Gao very proudly, and bowed to Yue Fei with his chest straight.
Dugu Sheng, Chai Yong, Niu Gao, these three people, led people to escort the great eunuch Li Tongjie back to Beijing, only stayed in Kaifeng for one night, and rushed back to the front line of Youzhou in the starry night, although they failed to participate in the battle to conquer Youzhou, but they caught up with the end of the three days of Daqing.
Dugu Sheng accumulated military merits and was promoted to General Xiaowei, one level lower than Chai Yong, no way, who let Chai Yong capture a Liao Qianjin alive, who let Chai Yong still be named by the prince himself.
Niu Gao accumulated military merits and was promoted to General Ling Chong, one level lower than Dugu Sheng, this time he was completely out of temper, the three of them were miscellaneous generals, but he was the lowest.
"Chai Yong, this commander ordered you to lead 50,000 forbidden troops, out of the east gate of Youzhou City, march eastward, recover Shunzhou and Jizhou, and then wave your army to the north and stand by in front of Gubeikou."
"The last will be ordered."
Chai Yongxiong took over the golden skin order with dignity and stood up.
"Dugu wins to obey orders."
"The end will be."
Xiaowei General Dugusheng is very unhappy, he doesn't like this Xiaowei general at all, it's good to be a scout battalion commander, as long as he can learn swords from Marshal Yue's side.
I knew that those military exploits would be given to Niu Gao, and let Niu Gao and Chai Yong, the two stupid fools, charge into battle, and I would be a scout who comes and goes like the wind.
"Dugu Sheng, this marshal ordered you to lead 50,000 forbidden troops, out of the north gate of Youzhou City, gallop to the aid of General Li Chongjin and General Qian Mao, recover Fuzhou, Danzhou and Ruzhou, and then garrison in front of Gubeikou."
"The last will be ordered."
Niu Gao looked at the red-eyed from the side, he was a lowly-level miscellaneous general, and it was impossible for him to be qualified to lead troops alone.
"Niu Gao listens to orders."
I didn't expect Yue Fei to actually click on him, which made Niu Gao very happy.
"The end will be."
"Niu Gao, this marshal ordered you to command 10,000 forbidden troops and 20,000 heavy soldiers, responsible for transporting grain and grass to Chai Yongbu and Dugu Shengbu.
Yes, when I get to my little cow, I will become a grain officer, and if I do a good job, I don't have any credit, if I don't do it well, my life will be over.
"The last will be ordered."
Niu Gao took the golden order with his head down, walked behind Chai Yong and stood up, Chai Yong turned around and grinned at him.
Immediately afterwards, Yue Fei sent several more armies out of the west gate of Youzhou to the west to recover Xin, Wu, Wei, Yun, Ying, Huan, Shuo and other prefectures.
Some of the generals in the big tent of the Chinese army are smart, and they have already seen Yue Fei's way of sending troops.
Of the 250,000 Hanzi Army, Yue Fei didn't move, but just sent Chai Yong, Dugusheng and Niu Gao to lead the forbidden army.
The Hustle Army must be firmly in the hands of Yue Fei.
Moreover, Li Chongjin was not there, under Yue Fei's strong suppression, the generals in the forbidden army were all transferred to Yue Fei's army, among these people, there were Zhao Kuangyin's henchmen, Li Chongjin's henchmen, and Zhang Yongde's henchmen.
But Yue Fei was not worried at all, the Hanzi army had not followed him for a long time, but he had fought a lot of battles large and small, and the middle and low-level generals had long regarded Yue Fei as a god-like existence.
Follow Marshal Yue and win all battles.
Follow Marshal Yue and kill Liao dogs like slaughtering chickens.
Following Marshal Yue, his military exploits were soft, Chai Yong, Dugusheng and Niu Gao are typical examples.
Yue Fei is smart, there is a reason why he reuses Chai Yong, Dugusheng and Niu Gao.
First of all, these people are really capable, and secondly, they are all sent to the army by the prince, not by the prince, but by Liu Bowen, a close minister of the prince.
These people, who have no heels in the army, are the most vulnerable to being excluded by the old man like Yue Fei, but this is exactly what Yue Fei wants.
The more you exclude, the more you can't pee in a pot, and if such a person wants to get out in the army, he can only follow Yue Fei with all his heart.
Coupled with Emperor Guo Rong's intentional support, not only Yue Fei took the rocket, but even Chai Yong, Niu Gao and Dugu Sheng followed suit.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of holding heavy power in his hands, he should hurry up and arrange his own people in the forbidden army, and wait until Li Chongjin, Zhao Kuangyin, and Zhang Yongde can slow down, it will be too late.
The method adopted by Yue Fei was to send half of the henchmen in the Hanzi army to lead the troops in the forbidden army and train their henchmen there.
The generals of the forbidden army were transferred to the Huzi Army, and they were only given positions, but not soldiers, and all the military power of the Huhan Army was in the hands of Yue Fei himself and half of his henchmen and generals.
This is also the opportunity for Liu Bowen to personally teach Yue Fei before the expedition.
"General Yue, this time I went out with the emperor to grasp the military power as much as possible, this is planning for His Royal Highness the Prince, don't be careless."
In fact, even if Liu Bowen didn't remind him, Yue Fei knew that he had to do it, for himself, but also for the prince.
Everything is arranged, all the generals who got the golden skin order are leading the army, Yue Fei is sitting in Youzhou, here, he must defend, because the emperor Guo Rong is buried in the Sixteen Tombs in the northern suburbs of Youzhou.
was buried with Emperor Guo Rong, as well as the martyrs of the Great Zhou Dynasty who sacrificed their lives in the recovery of Yanyun.
Yue Fei personally drafted a secret piece of paper, sent someone to send it back to Kaifeng, Guo Rong died, and the crown prince Guo Zongxun was bound to succeed to the throne and become the third emperor of the Great Zhou.
In the secret recital, Yue Fei told Guo Zongxun in detail about everything that happened in Youzhou, the first emperor died of illness and was buried in Youzhou, and the adjustment of the forbidden army and the Hanzi army...... Wait a minute.
Finally, Yue Fei wrote in the Tantra:
"Chen Yue Fei is frightened, His Majesty ascended the throne, the minister failed to protect the left and right, he really deserves to die, but the minister is far away in Youzhou, guarding the mausoleum of the first emperor for His Majesty, and completing the unfinished ambition of the first emperor for His Majesty, Chen Yue Fei bowed his head again, and will definitely recover Yanyun, solidify the northwest gateway of my Great Zhou, reject Liao Dog in the north, press the Northern Han in the west, and obey His Majesty's orders at any time."
And Guo Zongxun's side learned that Zhao Kuangyin secretly returned to Beijing, and with the cooperation of Liu Bowen, Wei Zhongxian, and Li Tongjie, Zhao Kuangyin's whereabouts were almost clear.
Wei Zhongxian was also unambiguous, and immediately concluded the trial of Shi Shouxin's corruption nest, and all the generals who participated in corruption were all executed together, and the execution date was placed at the moment before Zhao Kuangyin returned to Beijing to pass on the edict.
As for the fake yellow robe and fake jade seal, it doesn't matter, Zhang Yongde has been seriously injured, and Princess Shou'an also said that when Zhang Yongde returns from his injuries, he will never be allowed to leave Kaifeng for half a step.
This news is actually not good news for Guo Zongxun, when Zhang Yongde was seriously injured and dying, he did not forget to let people bring a message to the emperor, saying that he had no objection, which shows that he is really loyal.
Such a person, even if he is not reused, he can be used to balance Li Chongjin and Zhao Kuangyin and others first.
It's a pity that I can't use it when I want to.
The guards are all in command of Han Tong, Guo Zongxun has now given him the greatest trust, and the entire guard division is almost handed over to him to be in charge, Cao Bin was transferred to the front of the palace to take over the defense of Kaifeng City, and there are too few people available at hand.
Even a decent low-level military leader like Wang Liang was promoted by Guo Zongxun and became the captain of his own personal guard, with Zhang Tieniu as the deputy captain.
Zhao Kuangyin returned to Chenqiaoyi and told Zhao Pu what he had heard, Zhao Pu also thought that Emperor Guo Rong would not kill Zhao Kuangyin, why should he send it back to Kaifeng to kill, if he killed it directly, it would be over if he killed it directly in Youzhou.
The bad guys did it to the end, Guo Rong took it himself, why let the hands of the new emperor be stained with the blood of the old ministers.
"Then we will return to Beijing generously, read the edict of the first emperor to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and then see if there is a chance to get more benefits."
After the two discussed, they spent another day in Chenqiaoyi, and the next morning, Zhao Kuangyin took Zhao Pu and led five hundred light horsemen to march towards Kaifeng unhurriedly.
"Lord, at present, more than half of my troops in Da Zhou are in Youzhou, and half of them are in the hands of Yue Fei, which is actually equivalent to being in the hands of the new emperor, that is, the Hustman Army, and the rest of the forbidden army ......."
"Mr. Zeping can rest assured that Zhao will never let the power in charge of the forbidden army fall aside."
"This time I returned to Beijing, taking advantage of the absence of Li Chongjin, Zhang Yongde and Yue Fei, if the lord could seize the military power of the front division of the palace and the guard division......"
"This ...... Don't think too much, Zhao feels that it is very difficult to snatch the guard division from the hands of the new emperor, but it is the front division of the palace, although the trustworthy is not there, but I heard that the new emperor sent him to the party is only temporary, and he will come back soon, Cao Bin is now temporarily taking his place, although this Cao Bin is the new emperor's person, but he has a good personal relationship with Zhao, and it may not be impossible to fight for it. ”
"The lord is really far-sighted, and he can't do it."
"Mr. Zeping is polite, if there is no guidance from you, Zhao is afraid that he would have made a mistake and fallen into a catastrophe, and please continue to work hard."
"Whenever the Lord sends any sent, he will surely devote all his devotion to the Lord and his counseling."
Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu discussed all the way, and it was not until the evening before the city gate was closed that they walked slowly to Kaifeng.
At this time, the heads of Shi Shouxin and others had already been cut off, and the blood was drained, and they were hanging high at the east gate of Kaifeng City.
Zhao Kuangyin They entered the city from the north gate and did not see it.
After entering Kaifeng, it was time to close the city gate, Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu regretted it a little, they shouldn't have procrastinated, they entered Kaifeng early, once something happened, maybe there would be a chance to escape.
Now, it's too late to regret it.
"Let's go, rush to the inner city as soon as possible, ask the new emperor to convene the minister of civil and military affairs, and Zhao will read out the edict of the emperor in public."
As soon as he walked out for a while, he suddenly saw a group of soldiers escorting a person walking in the direction of the prison.
"I'm wronged, General Shi has committed a heinous crime, what does it have to do with me Yao Mingshi, I'm just a small captain, I ......"
The soldier in charge of escorting Yao Mingshi gave him a big-eared scraper and scolded:
"Don't talk nonsense, arrest you, I don't have a copper plate relationship with Shi Shouxin, arrest you, that's because you left your post without permission yesterday, and you dared to go to the Qinglou to drink flower wine while on duty, I don't know if General Cao has the final say in the front of the palace now."
Yao Mingshi wailed:
"I'm wronged, I wasn't on duty last night, I didn't go to eat until I was on duty, and I didn't go to the Qinglou either, the front division of the palace checked General Zhao Kuangyin's staff Zhao Pu, and he could testify for Yao."
With a snap, Yao Mingshi received another big ear scraper.
"General Zhao Kuangyin followed the emperor on the expedition, Mr. Zhao Pu, as a staff member, has been following General Zhao, when did you go back to Kaifeng, you can make up a reliable nonsense."
As soon as Yao Mingshi turned his head, he saw Zhao Kuangyin riding on a horse, and immediately shouted:
"General Zhao, General Zhao, you have to testify for the lowly position, the person I saw last night was Mr. Zhao Puzhao......"
Zhao Pu was on the side, quickly lowered his head, and said in his heart, dare to love the lord came back last night, it was fraudulent to use my name, the lord is really okay, the dead friend is not dead and poor, once it is leaked, it is me Zhao Pu who died.
And the lord, with his official position as the deputy of the front of the palace, even if I bite him, I guess no one will believe it.
Zhao Kuangyin naturally didn't dare to look back at Zhao Pu, and secretly muttered in his heart, at this time, no one should recognize Zhao Pu.
This thing is still afraid of something, the general who escorted Yao Mingshi found Zhao Kuangyin and his party, and recognized Zhao Pu at a glance.
"Yao Mingshi, I will let you die today."
After speaking, the general walked up to Zhao Kuangyin and the others, bowed down, and said:
"The last general Wang Xinhu saw General Zhao, General Zhao, the last general was ordered to put Yao Mingshi, the derelict lieutenant of the palace, into the prison, this guy is really hateful, he actually bit Mr. Zhao Pu, in order to create unnecessary rumors, the last general also asked General Zhao to let Mr. Zhao Pu come to identify it."
Hiding is definitely not going to be able to hide, Zhao Kuangyin glanced back at Zhao Pu and handed over a look.
Zhao Pu didn't understand the meaning of Zhao Kuangyin's eyes, don't you die and don't you die? Or, let me save the culprit?
"Mr. Zeping, since you have met it, you can go and have a look......"
Zhao Puxin said, Lord, you should give one more hint, even if you say that we will only return to Kaifeng today, our subordinates will know how to pick it up.
The lord has completely picked himself up, no matter whether there will be an incident in the east window in the future, the lord has no idea, whether he does it or not, it is all me Zhao Pu alone.
With such a lord, it's really ...... Got the right person.
Non-toxic husband, as a lord, if you don't have extraordinary wisdom, if you don't have great ambition, if you don't have enough stinky shame, it is absolutely impossible to achieve great things.
Now, it depends on the luck of the lord.
"Obey, then the subordinate will go and see."
Zhao Pu pretended to walk up to Yao Mingshi, and was thinking about what to say, but Yao Mingshi suddenly shouted:
"Mr. Zhao, it's a villain, villain Yao Mingshi, you still pulled the villain and said a lot of things last night, Mr. Zhao, you must save me, the villain was really not on duty last night, they really wronged me."
Yao Mingshi's voice, Zhao Pu and Zhao Kuangyin were blinded, and then immediately reacted again.
made a mistake, Yao Mingshi really doesn't seem to be a fool, he knows, no matter whether the person in front of him is really Zhao Pu or not, but Zhao Kuangyin is always the real Zhao Kuangyin, as long as he bites to death the Zhao Pu in front of him who he saw last night......
There are still many things to be changed.
"It turned out to be Brother Yao, correct you, it wasn't last night, it seems that it should be the night before yesterday, Zhao went back to Beijing to do business, and happened to meet Brother Yao, and they did talk for a long time."
The general Wang Xinhu beat Yao Mingshi again, and scolded:
"What is bold, General Cao punished you for your dereliction of duty last night, what are you doing indiscriminately biting Mr. Zhao."
Yao Mingshi was taken away with a desperate face, but suddenly looked back at Zhao Kuangyin, and shouted again and again:
"General Zhao, Yao knows who it was the night before yesterday, General Zhao, please save the villain."
Zhao Kuangyin secretly hated in his heart, and blamed himself for his poor disguise technique, it seems that this Yao Mingshi recognized him.
I really fucking have to find a way to get Yao Mingshi out of the prison.
Let Yao Mingshi mix it up, Zhao Kuangyin even forgot to ask Shi Shouxin about it, and when Yao Mingshi was escorted away, Zhao Pu remembered.
"General Zhao, what did the general Wang Xinhu say just now that Shi Shouxin committed a heinous crime......
When Zhao Kuangyin heard this, he strangled the war horse, and he forgot to ask about such an important matter.
Coincidentally, if you don't write a book, I'm afraid that someone has a heart, what Zhao Kuangyin wants to hear, and the people next to him immediately start chatting.
"Hey, at three o'clock in the afternoon today, did you go to the execution ground to see, Shi Shouxin of the front division of the palace and more than 100 officers involved in the case were beheaded in one piece, His Royal Highness the prince was furious, Shi Shouxin was corrupt and deducted military salaries and ate empty salaries, resulting in the actual number of 20,000 palace front Si Huben was less than 12,000 ......"
"This stone is really hateful, the shortage of personnel is so bad, once Kaifeng faces a big war, isn't it obvious that something big is going to happen."
"It should be killed, this kind of scum who has brought disaster to the country and the people, according to me, it should be sat together, and the nine clans should be punished."
Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu were stunned when they listened on the sidelines, Shi Shouxin died? At three o'clock in the afternoon today, he was escorted to the execution ground to be beheaded?
died with Shi Shouxin, as well as more than 100 of his henchmen, and in the Kaifeng garrison of the front division of the palace, Shi Shouxin's forces were uprooted......
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Majesty the new Emperor who is about to ascend the throne, what a means.
If he had rushed back yesterday or even earlier, maybe there would have been room for things to turn around, and maybe he would have found a way to save Shi Shouxin's life.
Right now...... It's too late to say anything.
However, Zhao Kuangyin did not doubt Yao Mingshi, Yao Mingshi was arrested today, it was reasonable, and he should be arrested for dereliction of duty.
suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Kuangyin and them, this ......
There are many coincidences, and he is numb, not to mention, now is not the time to consider Yao Mingshi's doubts at all.
Yao Mingshi was taken to a prison and put in a solitary cell.
"Stay here for a few days, and let you out in a few days, and you'll be mixed with us in the future."
A Jinyi guard disguised as a jailer said to Yao Mingshi.
Today's arrest of Yao Mingshi is, of course, also a play, specially played for Zhao Kuangyin.
It is to see how Zhao Kuangyin will react and act when he finds out that he has been recognized by Yao Mingshi.
Guo Zongxun dreamed of it, taking advantage of Zhao Kuangyin's lack of the strength to rebel against him, and then killed him justifiably.
Otherwise, in the secret edict of the father, Zhao Kuangyin, who was loyal to return to Beijing to pass on the edict, was given a great official position.
The emperor's edict did not dare to disobey, this was the biggest mantra on Guo Zongxun's head.
"General, at this time, we can't hesitate, hurry up and pass the decree, the city gate is closed, even if it is not closed, we can't run, if we really run, we will become a thief, and now we can only gamble."
"But, ...... Yao Mingshi's side"
"General Zhao, only if you don't admit it to death, the new emperor may be suspicious, but Yao Mingshi is Shi Shouxin's cronies, and it is estimated that Cao Bin's arrest of him is also an opportunity to clear Shi Shouxin's remaining party, what such a person says has no credibility."
Zhao Kuangyin took a deep breath, and sure enough, he was still a fan of the authorities, and a small Yao Mingshi was indeed not to be feared.
"Let's go, speed up, and rush to the palace."
After Zhao Kuangyin hesitated for a while, he immediately rushed to the palace at the suggestion of Zhao Pu, Guo Zongxun had just received the news, and someone outside the palace reported that Zhao Kuangyin asked to see him.
"What should come is always coming, let's go, don't show traces, Gonggong Li, you lead the way."
"The old slave obeys."
Guo Zongxun met with Zhao Kuangyin in the political hall of the prince's east palace.
"Minister Zhao Kuangyin see His Royal Highness the Prince."
"General Zhao is exempt from courtesy, the war ahead is in full swing, why did General Zhao, as the right-hand man of his father, return to Beijing at this time?"
Zhao Kuangyin glanced at Li Tongjie, Li Tongjie passed him an imperceptible look, and waved his hand gently, which means that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not know about this at this time.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Your Minister...... The minister respectfully invites the queen mother, His Royal Highness the Prince, to summon the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, and the minister has the emperor's holy decree and must read it in front of the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty. ”
After getting Li Tongjie's hint, Zhao Kuangyin was even more relieved, it seems that Li Tongjie was sent back by the emperor to supervise the crown prince nine times out of ten.
I should have a good relationship with Li Tongjie, what did the former emperor hand over to Li Tongjie, so that this old man can restrain the new emperor?
"Li Banban, just do what General Zhao said, you are responsible for informing the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and go alone to invite the queen mother."
Zhao Kuangyin said that he was here to pass on the edict, but he was not sure whether Guo Rong had died at this time, so he could not ring Huang Zhong Dalu according to the ancestral system, in that case, but the whole country knew that Guo Rong had died.
In case Guo Rong is still alive at this time, it will be Zhao Kuangyin's death.
This is Guo Rong's cleverness, I passed the throne to Guo Zongxun, as for whether I am still there, guess?
When Zhao Kuangyin arrived at the Prince's East Palace, it was already past the unitary hour, and by the time he summoned all the civil and military officials to the Jinluan Palace, it was already the ugly time of the next day.
Guo Zongxun had slept for a while, and now he began to wonder, where is Xu Guangqi?
Since the matter of the father and the emperor is irreparable, he can only forge ahead in sadness.
Xu Guangqi, it is very timely, once Guo Zongxun ascends the throne, even if Guo Rong adds many restrictions to him, but after all, he is also a son of heaven and the emperor of a country.
How could the emperor have no power at all, Guo Zongxun was actually not worried about this.
Whoever dares to blow up the thorn will find a way to break the thorn for him.
At this time, it is time to start research on productivity promotion.
Xu Guangqi, the science and technology boss of the Ming Dynasty, although there is nothing Western technology to introduce in this era, he can let Xu Guangqi take people to develop.
In any era, people are the primary productive forces, this is a truth, no matter how advanced science and technology, no matter how high the degree of automation and intelligence of the machine, after all, people still have to control.
The Manchu Dynasty was summoned to the Jinluan Palace in the middle of the night, and after a while, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came down, and the queen mother also came.
Zhao Kuangyin, who followed the emperor on the expedition, stood a few steps away from the emperor's throne with a sinking face, facing the ministers, holding a yellow scroll in his hand.
"The emperor's edict, the ministers accept the decree."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the court......
