Chapter 203: The Battle Before Perdition
Song Ci was very moved, but considering his future danger, he still insisted on letting a few people go, but Qin Xiaoyue and their insistence, no matter what Song Ci said, they just didn't want to leave.
In this regard, he can only forget it.
At this moment, Song Lizong had just learned a news that the Mongolian army Kublai Khan had suddenly launched an attack on the border of the Great Song Dynasty not long ago, resulting in countless casualties among the soldiers stationed here, reaching tens of thousands.
At this moment, the long-lost sense of crisis came, and he had already begun to panic and didn't know what to do.
An official below said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much about the sneak attack launched by the Mongol army, it may be that this Kublai Khan has become dissatisfied because our tribute has been too little over the years?"
"Yes, the emperor, Weichen thinks that Lord Zhao's words are very reasonable, since he wants silver, horses and food, it's a big deal for us to give it to him."
"At present, our treasury is sufficient, and there is still a lot of silver, not to mention more food, so the emperor, I'll give them some!"
Song Lizong felt reasonable, so he said: "Prime Minister Liu, what do you think of this matter?"
"This... Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that what you have said is reasonable, this, Weichen has a part of the excerpt written by Jiangzhou's uncle, or the emperor. Take a look?"
Saying that, he handed it over, and Song Lizong opened it and looked at it, and he was happy at that time.
"My brother-in-law Jia is really good, you see, I actually put Jiangzhou's. Thousands of anti-thieves have been wiped out, which is really good, really good.
"Look at it, it seems that Dao is only in his twenties, and he is so capable, I am very pleased, and at the same time, I am also very pleased for his sister Jia Guifei."
The following people were all patting on the back, constantly saying good things about Jia Yidao, Prime Minister Liu said: "Your Majesty, since Uncle Guo is so talented in leading troops, why don't you let him go to the border to start a war with Mongolia?"
Song Lizong slapped his thigh, he felt that this method was very good, wasn't his Mongolian army Kublai Khan very powerful? If you have the same general in your own hands, you may not be able to lose to the other party.
At the same time, the total population of the Mongol army was not as good as that of the Great Song Dynasty, and at the same time, there was also territory, and if it went to war with all its might, it would definitely be defeated.
"Come on, immediately send a holy decree to Jia Nidao, who is still an official in Jiangzhou, and say that I want him to return to the palace immediately."
There is a eunuch decree.
Song Lizong looked at Prime Minister Liu again, "Liu Aiqing, what happened to this Song Ci, who is still an official in Lanzhu County?" This person is old, confused, and not as young as he was when he was young, hey, how he was so high-spirited back then, but I don't know..."
Prime Minister Liu said: "Back to the emperor, the people in the palace have already delivered the holy decree, and at the same time, the people sent by Weichen have already gone to the road, and they will definitely arrive in a few days."
Song Lizong sighed, Song Ci used to be he did appreciate it, but later. is old, maybe he is afraid of death, and he doesn't dare to encircle and suppress it with great fanfare at the moment.
"Ladies and gentlemen, about this Song Ci who was encircled and suppressed in Lanzhu County, I think you should have heard of it, this person was indeed a talent when he was young, but now I have to demote him, look at it, this Lanzhu County almost became a thief for the whole people, I can't afford this consequence, the imperial court can't afford it, and you and others can't afford it too."
A minister said: "What the emperor said is extremely true, since ancient times, it has been the capable and the mediocre, especially such an important official position, the emperor does this, and we really agree with it."
"Yes, we raised our hands in favor of the emperor's demotion Song Ci and the local magistrate Jiao Fei, these two are mediocre and incompetent, they should have gone down a long time ago."
Just when everyone was constantly slapping their horses, the Queen Mother learned about it, and at this moment she walked to the Xuande Hall angrily and scolded when she opened her mouth.
"Emperor, the mourning family asks you, are you blind? If you are not blind, why can't you see anything? Song Ci is such a clean official, why do you want to demote him?"
Song Lizong was taken aback by this sudden voice, and immediately said: "Queen Mother, you misunderstood, in fact, it is this Song Ci he..."
"Song Ci, what's wrong with him? Your Majesty, you tell the mourning family, what happened to Song Ci? Why did you demote him?"
The Queen Mother was not lightly angry, all the civil and military officials knelt down, she came to Song Lizong's side, and asked: "Emperor, the mourning family asks you, do you know that Song Ci made great contributions back then?" Do you know why this Lanzhu County is in chaos?"
"The queen mother, the child fully knows that it is precisely because of the Jingguanghu Zhi Shi Xu An's local misdeeds that they oppressed the people, causing the local people to revolt and become thieves."
The Queen Mother shook her head angrily, holding on to the railing with her hand, her heart was getting colder and colder, if she could re-elect the emperor, it would definitely not be this Song Lizong.
"Emperor, since you know that this matter is completely caused by Xu An, and you have already killed him, I don't know what it has to do with Song Ci? As for the fact that you want to demote Song Ci?"
The civil and military officials didn't dare to speak at all, they had already seen that the Queen Mother was already angry, very angry, and the best self-protection at this moment was to choose silence.
At the same time, Hu Zhuangyuan walked out, and he tried his best to protect Song Ci.
"Emperor. Shang, Weichen thinks that there may be something strange about this matter, you must not demote Lord Song, this person is an old hero of the Great Song Dynasty, Your Majesty.
Lord Zheng and Lord Luo walked out one after another, "Yes, the emperor, you can't demote Song Ci, and you can't reuse this Jia Yidao." ”
"Who doesn't know that Lord Song Ci and Song have made great contributions to my Great Song? The emperor, as well as the queen mother, demoted Song Ci, which will make countless people feel cold, and also make Song Ci cold, this kind of practice is too ruthless.
Prime Minister Liu shouted: "Three adults, are you too cautious? At the same time, it's too feminine, Song Ci's encirclement and suppression are unfavorable, Lanzhu County is almost in chaos, I said three adults, don't you know about this?"
Hu Shanhai said: "Prime Minister Liu, what you said is bad, the lower officials dare not agree, everyone knows what is going on in this chaos in Lanzhu County, you don't blame Xu An, as for blaming Song Ci?"
"At the same time, Song Ci and Jiao Zhixian are innocent in this matter, and there is a group of ill-intentioned people who deliberately mess with Lanzhu County in an attempt to frame them, and this is the real murderer."
"At the same time, the Empress Dowager, Weichen feels that the main reason for this case lies with Xu An, and of course his accomplices, the Empress Dowager, you have to investigate the truth of this matter, and you can't let go of any villain."
In the entire Xuande Palace, only these three people were so lonely, and when Hu Shanhai said this, there were constant criticisms next to him.
"You Hu Zhuangyuan, how does the emperor handle the case and still use you to teach? You're a big rebel.
"Yes, yes, Xu An is dead, where are the accomplices from here? Your Majesty, this Hu Shanhai is questioning the people of the entire court, and the emperor will punish him. ”
Song Lizong didn't say a word, his head hurt, he was very confused, and he didn't like the court more and more now.
The Queen Mother said: "Emperor, the mourning family thinks that what these three adults said is right, you can't demote Song Ci and that magistrate, take a look, what major events have happened in Lanzhu County over the years?" Besides, this matter is very suspicious, why did Xu An go to Lanzhu County to do evil?"
Prime Minister Liu sensed that something was wrong, and immediately said: "Back to the Queen Mother, this Xu An is dead, and there is no way to know the truth at present, so Weichen still suggests that Song Ci's crime be treated, although there is no need to cut off his head, but there is no problem with demotion."
Tang Dadao: "Faint official, faint official, Prime Minister Liu, you are sorry for your position as prime minister, you are sorry for the emperor, this matter is clearly related to you, otherwise how can you kill Xu An in a hurry?"
Prime Minister Liu immediately said: "Lord Tang, you didn't see the situation at that time, these people have completely rebelled, if you don't kill Xu An and eliminate the anger in their hearts, do you think they will take the initiative to leave?"
"Also, the emperor didn't say much at that time, and at this moment, you Lord Tang are talking nonsense here? The emperor, Weichen's opinion is still like this, continue to demote Song Ci, wear a guilty body, and cannot enter the palace again within thirty years.
Song Lizong was already exhausted, this emperor was really not easy to do, not easy to do at all, he really wanted to care about anything.
Seeing him like this, the Queen Mother sighed deeply, he knew that it was over, all this was over, and the Great Song Dynasty would not be over for a long time.
She dragged her tired body out lonely, the Great Song Dynasty was over, and she had no face to see her ancestors.
In the Xuande Palace, accompanied by Song Lizong's order, it was finally quiet at this moment. He looked at the audience, and then said: "A gentleman's words are difficult to follow, what I said cannot be unbelieved, and at the same time, the Mongolian army is entering our Great Song Dynasty at a speed of thirty miles a day at this moment, and has penetrated deep into the hinterland, at this critical juncture, I will not discuss this inconsequential Song Ci for the time being."
"Instead, let's talk about my Great Song Dynasty, talk about how we should defeat the Mongol army, and at the same time, you Aiqing, I have already decided, immediately send my uncle Jia Nidao back to Beijing, and at the same time lead a million lions to fight to the death with Mongolia, this matter cannot be delayed, and at the same time, Prime Minister Liu, I ordered you to bring someone to match a Jia talent."
Prime Minister Liu received the order, and when he looked down, his face showed a lot of joy.
Lord Tang below suddenly slammed his head into the stone pillar, and with a bang, his head broke and bled out, and he was extremely seriously injured, and he was already out of breath.
Hu Shanhai and Lord Luo were shocked, and immediately helped them up and said, "Lord Tang, why are you doing this?" The Great Song Dynasty has not yet reached this point of destruction, why are you doing this?" Master Tang's body was weak, he couldn't hold on for long, and when Song Lizong looked at it above, his face was indifferent.
"Hu Zhuangyuan, and Lord Luo, ..... today Today, Weichen asked the emperor with his life.... One is that Song Ci can't be demoted, and the other is that this Jia Rudao can't be reused, can't be reused!"
"My Great Song Dynasty, my Great Song Dynasty may be destroyed in the hands of this Jia Nidao, Your Majesty, Weichen suggests that you go to Jiangzhou and take it away, take a look, take a look at how this Jia Nidao is a person, and see how the local people are doing."
