Chapter 003: Scheming

In winter, the snow-covered Taiyuan City has always been quiet and quiet, and the news of the defeat of Fuzhou came, and the old and new Taiyuan City suddenly boiled.

The summer thunder, the news of the defeat of the loyal and righteous army came, the Taiyuan army and the people were stunned, the people's hearts floated, and the city suddenly was in an uproar. Even in the city, there are still many soldiers and civilians who can't believe their ears and don't want to hear this heart-rending bad news.

The invincible "God of War" of the Great Song Dynasty is gone like this?

The loyal and righteous army was defeated and sunk in the sand, Wang Song's soldiers were defeated and died, the news was like a thunderbolt in the sky, and the soldiers and civilians of Taiyuan City broke out in an instant. In the midst of grief, countless civilians and sergeants took to the streets and joined the huge march.

In the midst of the surging crowd, hundreds of soldiers of the loyal and righteous army walked in the forefront of the crowd, they raised their swords and guns, shouted loudly, and everyone was full of grief and indignation.

"Punish the traitorous ministers and return the king to justice!"

In the front row of the crowd, several soldiers of the loyal army shouted loudly and hoarsely.

"Punish the traitorous ministers and return the king to justice!"

The crowd echoed loudly, and the soldiers and civilians waved their fists, all filled with righteous indignation, and everyone's faces turned red.

"Hand over the traitor!"

"Justice, the soldiers of the loyal army!"

Slogans came and went, and people continued to join the crowd of people along the way, and more and more people marched, many of whom had tears in their eyes, and they were shed for Wang Song and the soldiers who died in the battle.

The invincible loyal and righteous army can be defeated, and the invincible Wang Tiegun in the world died on the battlefield, except for the traitorous ministers, they really can't think of any other reason.

The Great Song Dynasty was destroyed in the hands of these traitorous ministers!

"But the king of the world, won the name before and after his death. Wang Xianggong, you died unjustly, who will protect the people of the Great Song Dynasty!"

The white-haired old man knelt on the side of the road, old tears were in his eyes, his forehead was against the snow, and he couldn't stop sobbing.

"Dad, don't be embarrassed here, my face is panicked!"

Hearing his son's words, the old man, who had always swallowed his anger, suddenly got up from the ground, grabbed half a brick, and pointed it at his son's head.

"The beast you killed this day is the same as those traitors, incorruptible and shameless, inferior to beasts!"

The bloodied son covered his head and looked at his father, who had always been cowardly and silent, in amazement, like a fool, unable to say a word for a long time.

"You old ......"

Seeing her son being beaten and covered in blood, the woman's words of reprimand were just out of her mouth, and seeing the anger in her husband's eyes, she swallowed back the words in her mouth.

For more than ten years, I have never seen my husband have such a fierce expression. Only then did she remember that her husband used to be a forbidden soldier in the border area, and he had been fighting horses for half his life.

"Get out of here, don't blame Lao Tzu for being rude!"

The white-haired old man finally retracted the anger on his body, and looked at the white clothes all over the street, and his expression became depressed again.

"Wang Xianggong, if you go, there is no one in the Great Song Dynasty!"

The procession marched all the way to the new Taiyuan prefect's yamen, where the crowd stopped, turned into an ellipse, and surrounded the three layers inside and outside the prefect's yamen, which had the gate closed.

The forbidden army in front of the yamen was like a great enemy, everyone picked up their spears, lined up in several rows, stood in front of the yamen gate, and aimed their sharp blades at the demonstrators outside.

"Hand over the traitor!"

"Punish the traitors!"

The soldiers took the lead, and the people followed, and the people shouted loudly, gushing endlessly, shaking the heavens and the earth.

The gate of the yamen opened with a "creak", and a eunuch came out with a frightened face.

"Big ...... Gall bladder! Emperor...... The prince is in the Yamen, what are you going to do?"

The eunuch's face was pale, his whole body trembled, and his intimidation was also lacking in confidence.

"Hand over the traitor! We want to see the crown prince! ”

"Go back, we're going to see the crown prince!"

"Crown Prince, you have to uphold justice!"

Clods of earth and gravel were thrown one after another, and the eunuch quickly hid with a gray nose and a swollen face, and the door was closed tightly.

"Hand over the traitor!"

"Punish the traitors!"

The crowd began to move forward, and the forbidden troops guarding the gate retreated to the yamen compound one after another, and the gate was tightly closed.

The soldiers and civilians stepped forward and banged on the gate one after another, excited and ready to break into the door at any time.

The earth-shattering shouts and roars outside made the high-ranking officials sitting in the yamen hall feel like pins and needles. Zhang Shuye, Qin Hui, Li Ruoshui, Li Ye, and even the surrounding sergeants, everyone was pale and restless.

After a long time, Li Ruoshui stood up.

"It is my duty as a parent to pacify the people, so let me go out and make it clear to them. Wang Song's defeat was due to a reason, not a malicious intention. I don't believe that they can still kill my parents!"

"Qingqing, the anger of the public is difficult to offend, it is menacing, the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, it is better to be a little restless, a little calm, not to be impatient!"

Li Ye immediately stood up and persuaded, full of panic.

Qin Hui's face turned pale, he sat aside, and couldn't say a word at the moment.

"This is Taiyuan under Wang Song's rule! The people only know Wang Song, but they don't know the crown prince or the official family. The old man wants to go out and see how they will punish the old man, a traitor! ”

Uncle Zhang's face turned pale, he stood up, straightened his clothes, and was about to get up, but was stopped by a light reprimand.

"Judge Zhang, if you go out now, not only will it be difficult to protect yourself, but I am afraid that the situation in the entire Taiyuan City will get out of control. If Fanzi takes the opportunity to attack Taiyuan City, aren't you taking the safety of the crown prince as a child's play? ”

Zhang Jun came in from outside, bowed to the startled Uncle Zhang, and then sat down on a chair next to him.

Uncle Zhang's face was cloudy, he was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and returned to his chair.

"Zhang Jun, what are your plans?"

Li Ruoshui's heart was burning. Zhao Chen was resting in the backyard, if he frightened the crown prince, he couldn't afford to be guilty.

Qin Hui also raised his head to look at Zhang Jun, his eyes were full of anticipation.

"Thunderbolt means, Fang shows the heart of the Bodhisattva! Don't worry, everyone, leave this matter to the lower officials!"

Uncle Zhang was taken aback, and hurriedly persuaded loudly:

"Zhang Jun, this matter can be big or small, you must not act recklessly, once it causes a mutiny in the army, you and I can't eat and walk around!"

Qin Hui asked anxiously: "Zhang Jun, what are your plans, just do it quickly." Deal with those who are the most evildoers, but you can kill the killers, and this official will ensure that you are fine!"

Li Ye also nodded again and again, and said vigorously: "Hurry up and drive these thugs away, if you frighten the crown prince, you and I will not escape the blame, and the officials will also be blamed." Just do it quickly!"

Zhang Jun got up and bowed and said: "Wang Song's power in Taiyuan City is not trivial, if you don't kill the killer, who will put us and the court in your eyes!"

Qin Hui wiped the cold sweat on his head and said continuously: "Not bad! It is to let these arrogant soldiers and fierce generals know what kind of fate will happen if they do not obey the orders of the imperial court and act recklessly!"

Li Ruoshui hesitated for a long time, wanting to say something, but finally didn't speak.

"Thank you for the ministers, it has been arranged in the future, and you are waiting for the good news!"

Everyone in the lobby looked at each other, all worried. Only Zhang Jun is calm and calm, as if he has a pearl of wisdom in his chest.

He came to Qin Hui and Uncle Zhang's side, and several people muttered in a low voice, Qin Hui's face was happy, and Uncle Zhang nodded again and again.

In the backyard of the yamen, Zhao Chen was resting. Since arriving in Hedong, he has had enough of the dry and cold weather here. I didn't expect it to be much colder here than Tokyo City.

After several months of training in the army, Zhao Chen has a lot of experience in the military. After getting along with the soldiers, he also better understood the difficulty of managing the army.

Thinking that Wang Song could govern tens of thousands of troops like a wolf and a tiger, he couldn't help but feel Wang Song's difficulty.

Now that Wang Song has died in battle, he is not only sorry, but he is also indignant about Wang Song's death, and at the same time feels a little guilty.

After all, he is the culprit.

The noise outside came in, and Zhao Chen wanted to appease the soldiers and civilians, but was taken down by the attendants.

"Your Highness, Judge Zhang, they are already dealing with it. At this moment, the complaints are boiling, and when it is settled, it is not too late for His Highness to go. ”

Zhao Chen nodded, and said hatefully: "It's all incompetent people like Qin Hui, it's really disappointing to do so many things!"

Having said that, after all, he is young, how to deal with things outside, he is a twelve-year-old child, naturally it can only be handled by these ministers.

The gate of the yamen was crowded with people, and the door was knocked on "through", but no one came out inside. Some good deeds crowded towards the wall, trying to climb over the high wall, enter the courtyard, and open the gate.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Feathers and arrows flew together, and some young and strong men who climbed up the wall fell off the wall one after another, and everyone was hit by several arrows and smashed a piece under the wall.

While everyone was panicking, countless ironclad sergeants appeared on the wall, all of them with bows and arrows, aiming at the demonstrators below.

Taiyuan prefect Yamen is a new new city, the wall is one zhang three high, the wall is two meters wide, it is H-shaped, and people can stand inside. These ironclad sergeants stood on the wall, each of them only showing their upper bodies, in cold clothes and iron armor, and they were menacing.

"Hurry up, or the sword and arrow will have no eyes!"

The officer on the wall had a gloomy gaze and shouted loudly.

"We want to see the crown prince and hand over the traitorous ministers!"

The leading general pushed away the crowd around him, squeezed forward, glared angrily at the troops on the wall, and pointed at him angrily.

"You are killing the people, what kind of officers and soldiers are you, you are fans!"

The surrounding crowd was also clamoring loudly. Everyone was filled with righteous indignation and accused the officers and soldiers of being cruel and domineering.

"Aim, prepare!"

The officer on the wall was unmoved, he raised his right hand, and it seemed that if he didn't agree with him, he would kill the killer.

"If you want to shoot, shoot here! Lao Tzu has died nine times in his life, and he has killed countless enemies, and he is still afraid of you ......"

Before the general's words fell, the officer's hand on the wall swung down, and the feather arrow flew away, and the general was hit by an arrow in the chest and fell to the ground with a bang. The surrounding sergeants and civilians fell to the ground one after another, and the crowd began to riot, and the panic continued, and they all fled with their feet out.

The sergeants on the wall kept firing arrows, and the demonstrators in the crowd fell to the ground one by one, and the demonstrators were even more unorganized, and the dragons were leaderless, and the tide fled in front of the prefect's yamen.

The general who had been hit by the arrow struggled to get up, and another arrow came from the wall, hitting him in the throat.

Seeing the general slowly falling, the officer on the wall put down the bow and arrow in his hand, clapped his hands lightly, disdainful, and his face was still gloomy.

Seeing Zhang Jun coming up, the officer hurriedly stepped forward, nodded his head, and smiled with a smile on his face.

"Zhang Xianggong, dare to go, it's clean, there's no one left."

"I'm not a husband yet! But you're doing a good job, and this official will definitely protect you from Shangguan!"

"Xianggong will be soon! The lower official is grateful to the prime minister for raising him! ”

Zhang Jun nodded, looked at the mess outside the yamen gate, and frowned.

"Send someone to clean it up now! If the crown prince sees it, I won't spare you!"

"Xiaguan will do it!"

The officer pointed to the wounded outside and hesitated:

"Xianggong, what should I do with these injured people?"

"All the officers and soldiers in the army were beheaded and displayed to the public. All those people are put in prison, let their families use money to ransom them, or let them sit in prison!"

The officer nodded again and again, smiling all over his face.

"Xianggong can rest assured. The next official will do it, and he will definitely not disappoint the minister!"

Zhang Jun nodded in satisfaction.

A low-level military attachΓ©, if he can't solve the dirty things that the big guys are not easy to do, what is the value of his existence. If you want to soar, don't seize these fleeting opportunities, let alone when.
