In the imperial city of Bianliang City, in the vertical arch hall, Zhao Huan, an official of the Great Song Dynasty, sat in a high position, put his right fist clenched on the desk, closed his eyes tightly, and his eyebrows were twisted into the word "Sichuan".

Jurchens, these words have become his lingering nightmare.

After a long time, he opened his eyes and said coldly: "Ladies and gentlemen, Wang Song restored Taiyuan and rescued the three states outside the river, which has made great contributions to the imperial court. Besides, Wang Song has sacrificed his life for the country, can you get by in your hearts? ”

At this moment, Zhao Huan does still have some feelings with Wang Song in his heart, and even the word "broken slave" by Wang Song was taken by him. Wang Song kept restoring the old land, he was half seawater, half fire, painful and happy, and he felt tormented.

The reason why he has always trusted Wang Song is that when the Jin people went south, the fear and hatred brought to him by the Bianliang City General Break. He hated the ferocity of the Jurchens, and he was fed up with the pressure and fear brought by the Jurchens.

He is naturally familiar with the thoughts of these scholars and doctors in the imperial court. Although these turbans marched and fought in a mess, he still had to rely on these people to govern the government, maintain the court, and ensure the normal conduct of all government affairs of the court.

Emperor Geng Nanzhong, Zhao Huan knew that he was indecisive, resourceful and inadequate, and jealous of his ability, not a minister of the society, and Wang Song looked down on each other. But when there are unresolved matters, especially when hesitating about unresolved military affairs, Zhao Huan is still willing to believe the old minister next to him.

It's just that this time, these people played too big, and they didn't even detain the troops, causing Wang Songbing to be defeated and killed. And these people threw the pot on the crown prince again.

"Wang Xianggong was loyal and pure, saved Bianliang City in the future, defeated the Jin people, killed countless enemies, and the Jin people were frightened and frightened. After the death of Wang Xianggong, the Jin people retreated, and the people built a shrine for the Wang Xianggong monument every household, and sacrificed and prayed every festival. Wang Xianggong can be said to be famous all over the world, although he is still glorious in death. ”

Geng Nanzhong's eyes rolled, and the words of jealousy and jealousy came into his mouth, but they were so moving and reasonable, that people had nothing to say.

"The old minister can say that the people of the world only know that there is Wang Song but do not know that there is a Son of Heaven, and they only know the loyal army but do not know that there is a Tokyo court. Now that the Loyal and Righteous Army is on the cusp, the imperial court just took this opportunity to seize its military power and destroy the trend of the feudal town, and it was replaced by the minister of Sheji. This is the law of the ancestors, all good and no harm. I hope that Your Majesty will be judged. ”

Geng Nanzhong retreated and glanced at Li Gang next to him.

Li Gang's heart was tired for a while, but he still frowned, and stood up when Zhao Huan's eyes swept over.

"Your Majesty, the old minister also believes that Wang Song is a loyal and righteous person, loyal to the court and His Majesty, and has no two hearts. In the past, Taizu was also a loyal and righteous man, and in the end, he was not a yellow robe, Chen Qiao mutinied, and he sat as the lord of the world. Without it, the soldiers are strong. The 100,000 people of the loyal army, even if they compete with the Jin, will not fall behind. Now that Wang Song is dead, if someone with ill intentions controls this army of tigers and wolves, I don't know if it will be a blessing or a curse for Your Majesty and my Great Song?"

After Li Gang finished speaking, he sighed secretly in his heart. Even if Wang Song was alive, even if he was really loyal, these courtiers, including himself, would not let him stay comfortably in a high position, and be in the same class as the scholars.

The trouble of the world is nothing more shameful than the incorruptibility and shame of scholars. The Tang people are still good at writing, but the current dynasty is still famous and greedy, and the greed of officialdom is rampant. However, the most terrifying person is more than the martial arts in power.

For example, Wang Song, with 100,000 tigers and wolves, is strong and strong, and is as powerful as a feudal town, how can he not make people tremble.

Tang Ke stood up on the side and bowed solemnly: "Your Majesty, it is precisely because of the martial arts who are domineering and bring disaster to the country and the people that Taizu has set the ancestral family law of "ruling the world with scholars". Could it be that Your Majesty wants to go his own way and abandon the century-old family law of his ancestors?"

Zhao Huan was shocked, and nodded unconsciously: "Zhongqing's words are reasonable, I have to think about it carefully."

"Your Majesty, now that Wang Song is dead, the imperial court has taken this opportunity to bring this army of tigers and wolves under Wang Hua. Your Majesty must know that in the land of these two rivers, or other people, it is inevitable that some people will have their eyes on this loyal army......"

Geng Nanzhong's words made Zhao Huan's face change, and the other ministers in the palace also lowered their eyebrows, not daring to say anything more.

Zhao Huan's face was pale, and the huge stone in his heart was overwhelming. If it weren't for Jin Ren going south, I'm afraid he, the emperor's throne, would have been taken away by Zhao Kai, the king of Yun.

Not to mention, there is also a King Kang Zhao Gou next to him. Even if Emperor Zhao Ji can give up this throne, what about the other princes?

King Yun is talented and intelligent, and he can dominate the imperial examination, so it is no wonder that the Emperor Taishang likes him and has always wanted to help him ascend to the throne and replace him. King Kang is both civil and military, he can go to the battlefield, and he is a good hand, and even his teacher Geng Nanzhong is also highly praised. If it weren't for Wang Song repelling the Jin people and keeping Bianliang City, I'm afraid that this King Kang would have ascended to the Ninety-Five Supreme with the assistance of the court sergeant doctor.

Especially this King Yun, I heard that the old minister Geng Nanzhong was also very close to him. Don't forget, King Yun is also Geng Nanzhong's student, and the relationship between the two is also quite ambiguous.

Thinking of this, Da Song Tianzi's face became heavy again, and his eyes couldn't help but glance at Geng Nanzhong next to him.

remembered that when Bianjing City was besieged, this person was in collusion with Zhao Gouxin in Hebei, and he could not enter, causing Tokyo City to almost be destroyed. If Wang Song hadn't come to his aid at that time, he would have been the king of the country.

But such words could not be spoken in the court. If we want to pursue responsibility, these turbans should all be sent to prison cells to investigate their crimes of misleading the country and the people.

Zhao Huan put his hand on the desk, trembled slightly, his heart was full of anger, and his brows furrowed again.

Most of them seem to be defending the interests of the imperial court, but in fact they are their own vital interests.

"Zhang Shuye, Qin Hui, Zhang Jun, Li Ruoshui, dignified doctors, and important ministers of the state, actually withheld the troops, resulting in Wang Song being killed in battle, and more than 10,000 troops were wiped out. Ladies and gentlemen, how should this matter be handled?"

Thinking of Wang Song's death, the anger in Zhao Huan's heart rose again.

Wang Song is dead, and who will fight the Jurchen iron horse?

"Your Majesty, Zhang Shuye, Qin Hui and other ministers are also for the sake of the safety of the crown prince, all the ministers are not only innocent, but also meritorious, please Your Majesty show their merits to comfort the hearts of the ministers."

At this moment, Yushi Zhao Tao stood up without an eye and said something.

Zhao Huan was furious, the tea cup was heavily placed on the table, and his voice became louder unconsciously.

"What do you say, tell the people of the world that they did not send the troops, causing Wang Song and tens of thousands of troops to die in battle, is this what you mean?"

Zhao Tao did not flinch, and still spoke righteously.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has already said that Judge Zhang and Qin Zhongcheng have made meritorious contributions to protecting the crown prince and should be commended. As for Wang Song, the destruction of tens of thousands of troops was self-inflicted, and Judge Zhang had nothing to do with Qin Zhongcheng. ”

The anger in Zhao Huan's heart had reached the extreme, and he laughed angrily, hoarse.

"You traitorous minister, full of nonsense, referring to the deer as a horse, confusing the public, you can really be called a "minister". If a person like you stays in the court, the misfortune of the country and the misfortune of the people!"

Zhao Huan's hoarse voice made all the ministers tremble. The ministers have never seen such hysteria in the Son of Heaven.

Seeing Zhao Tao's red face and red ears, still moving forward, unrelenting, Li Gang couldn't help but sigh.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are loyal, for the country and the people, with a clear conscience. His Majesty called the ministers ministers, and the ministers were ashamed and did not dare to be them. ”

Zhao Huan smashed the fold in his hand, and shouted angrily: "Come on, remove Zhao Tao from the post of imperial history, assign Taiyuan, let him go to the side of the fortress, visit the Jurchen iron horse, experience the people's suffering, and know what it is to serve the country and the people!"

Some ministers wanted to step forward to argue for Zhao Tao, but their cold eyes swept down, and everyone retreated.

Zhao Tao's face turned pale, and he finally became afraid, knelt down and kowtowed.

"Your Majesty forgive your sins! Your Majesty, be gracious!"

The ministers in the palace were all calm and unmoved, as if what had just happened had nothing to do with him.

The forbidden army stepped forward and dragged Zhao Tao out.

"Zhao Chen, Zhang Shuye, and Qin Hui were fined for half a year, and Qin Hui and Zhang Jun were transferred back to the imperial court and appointed separately. Geng Xiang, that Zhang Jun is still recommended by you."

Seeing the cold expression on Zhao Huan's face, Geng Nanzhong couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart.

The Son of Heaven is increasingly dissatisfied with himself, and I am afraid that it is time to think about his own retreat.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty!"

Geng Nanzhong trembled and knelt down.

Zhao Huan waved his hand and turned his head away in disgust.

The eunuch hurried down and helped Geng Nanzhong up.

Above the main hall, there was silence for a while, and many ministers lowered their heads, looked at the ground, and didn't bother to say a word. Many people are like Geng Nanzhong in their hearts, thinking about how to climb out of the quagmire and continue to be at ease in the officialdom.

Zhao Huan exhaled, soothed his brows, looked at the ministers below, and said softly:

Now that Wang Song is dead, the loyal and righteous troops in Hedong and Hebei will also be under Wang Hua. The secretaries of the family will take a look and give a charter to see how this matter should be resolved. ”

Everyone was overjoyed, and bowed down together and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

The loyal and righteous army is all under the rule of the imperial court, and will be in the middle of the palace, those unruly and self-respecting martial artists can only obediently clamp their tails and be people.

Chop the grass and eradicate the roots, strike while the iron is hot, Yushi Li Hui stepped forward and said.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Heng, Ye Lu Gan, Lin Feng, Wang Lun, and several officials of the Loyal and Righteous Army, as well as Chen Dong and Ouyang Che, who are in charge of the Xuanfu Division, how to deal with them, please ask Your Majesty to make a holy judgment."

Zhao Huan's face sank slightly, he snorted coldly in his nose, and asked softly:

"Chen Dong and Ouyang Che are just the office affairs of the Xuanfu Division, how to deal with it, Shangshu Province will first draft a charter. As for the other four generals in the army, is their guilt true, but Dali Temple has investigated it clearly?"

Zhao Ding, the secretary of Dali Temple, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, in the battle of Fuzhou, most of the soldiers of the loyal and righteous army who participated in the war were killed, Taiyuan and Fuzhou are too far away, and the Jin people are raging, and the road is long and difficult. It will take some time to get to the bottom of this case. ”

Li Hui said coldly: "I'm afraid that you, Zhao Yuanzhen, will use it for personal purposes and excuse those martial artists." Who doesn't know that your daughter Thirty-six Niang is a military medical officer in Wang Song's army, and the two have a good relationship, and I am afraid that she is already Wang Song's guest of the scene. Dali Siqing, please do it yourself. ”

Zhao Ding's face remained unchanged, and he replied: "The little girl is not talented, she goes into battle to kill the enemy, but there are several heads of thieves in her hands. But you Li Yushi, the thieves killed the north bank of the Yellow River, and you led more than 100,000 troops to flee without a fight, causing the city of Tokyo to be surrounded by thieves and causing the Son of Heaven to be in danger. Have you ever had peace of mind?"

"You ......"

Li Hui's face was red, his eyes were glaring at Zhao Ding, but he was speechless.

"Since it will take time to investigate, let's put them in jail first and deal with them when the crime is clear."

Zhao Huan's face was gloomy, and he brushed his sleeves. Seeing that the Jin soldiers were pressing, and the ministers in the court were still arguing, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.

If Wang Song was still alive, why should he worry about these things in the army?

Useless is a scholar. When it comes to the battlefield, none of these scholars and doctors are useful!

Geng Nanzhong, Tang Ke and the others glanced at each other, and they all saw the shock in their eyes.

This time, the public and private use has touched Zhao Huan's backlash. In the days to come, I'm afraid there won't be so much leisure.
