The emperor and the imperial court sent to Cangbei to play with the civil and military, only one deputy general of Qingzhou, Meng Dingguo, attached importance to the overall situation of security and stability in Cangbei Border Pass, and also had a minimum conscience and the bottom line of being an official, but it was not cleaned up, and the others all died.

Local Liucao officials are bureaucrats, and if they are killed, they will be killed, and Zhao Gonglian has killed more than one or two since he was in power in Cangzhou, this time he killed too much, too bold, but it is nothing, but it is only attributed to the imperial envoys who are managed and disposed of by the imperial court, especially the eunuchs of the prison army, who also dare to kill them, and the meaning revealed in this is terrifying.

Su Yuanjing got the report, and after receiving the verification of the corpse, he couldn't help but be shocked.

The people of the Manchu Dynasty, only when he went to Zhaozhuang to repeatedly ask Zhao Gonglian to come out of the mountain, he was clearly convinced that if the court did not distinguish between right and wrong, acted unfairly, acted recklessly, and connived at the traitorous ministers to harm the world, but continued to hate and persecute the Cangzhao family too much, and did not know how to restrain it, then the Marquis of Wen Cheng would never be restrained when he was cornered, and he would really rebel and protect himself.

Zhao Gonglian has this courage and ability, and he also has this strength and self-confidence.

And the imperial court, although the emperor and the ministers were suspicious and tried every means to guard against Zhao Gonglian's rebellion, in fact, they didn't really believe that it would be rebelled.

Zhao Gonglian is a rare genius and righteous politician in history, with a great view of the overall situation, cherishing the name and honor, having a great heart, foolish and loyal, loyal and touching, that is, young and vigorous, too bold and domineering to do things, eager to achieve, unruly, not as easy to control as other officials, but in general he is a capable and loyal minister.

This is the understanding and impression in the eyes of the emperor and courtiers.

The reason why the Manchu Dynasty made concerted efforts to crack down and even wanted to completely kill Zhao Manmen was, in the final analysis, due to the dignity and authority of the face, and various complex conflicts of interests between politics and business, and of course, it was also the Song Dynasty's mentality and means of preventing the strong in the unified army.

The courtiers who have too much influence and too strong appeal to the army, no matter how loyal and reliable they are, will have to be weakened and eradicated when they are used up, and they will not be given the slightest chance of rebellion.

Not only the royal family, which seized the country with the disgraceful mutiny, insisted so much, but also the scholars and doctors who ruled the world together were also resolute in suppressing the obsession of eradicating the military powerhouses.

The fundamental reason why Geng Nanzhong dared to brazenly provoke an incident and play slander and retaliate against the Cangzhao family was that he was convinced that Zhao Gonglian would not oppose it, and he also analyzed that even if he dared to oppose it, he would not be able to oppose it. Zhao Zhuang was ruined, and the people's foundation of the Cangzhao family on Hebei East Road was also destroyed, Zhao Gonglian only had the support of the original border army, but he was restrained and constrained from logistics support to military and political levels...... If you don't do it, it's enough, and if you don't do it, you're looking for death.

Coupled with the frivolity of suddenly occupying a high position, wanting to use the best target Zhao Gonglian to show his ability and means, establish authority, stabilize his position and military power, and have the narrow-minded and arrogant literati habit of desperately taking revenge, Confucianism traditionally wants to play tricks to make Zhao Gonglian and Cangzhao hold their breath but can't even defend themselves.

Geng Nanzhong's move had the willful impulsiveness of the Confucian and corrupt old bureaucrats and literati, but it was by no means that he was old and confused, but he was too shrewd in his calculations and wanted too much to take advantage of this matter.

Perhaps in Geng Nanzhong's heart, Zhao Gonglian slandered and denied his character and ability so much, and directly pointed out that he was not worthy of or high in the position at all, completely because he hated him.

This is a ridiculous reason, and I believe that there are many people in the world who understand that this is not the case at all.

But an old master like Geng Nanzhong, who suddenly rose to prominence, would think so.

What frightened Su Yuanjing was that Zhao Gonglian's move was undoubtedly a demonstration to the imperial court to show that he would rebel at any time.

At the very least, it is a clear attitude to show that it will no longer obey the insidious arrangements of the central authorities in terms of bureaucratic appointments, troop transfers, and so on, and it is tantamount to declaring that it will henceforth be a semi-independent border military bloc.

If the imperial court still attaches importance to treating the Northwest Army, then the Northwest Army is still loyal to the imperial court, and if not, the Northwest Fifth Division will not be polite to the imperial court....... If you don't brazenly enter the hinterland, wantonly loot money, grain and materials, and be self-sufficient, the Great Song Dynasty is already burning high incense in the imperial court, and if you can't get it right, you will directly rebel and even simply take refuge in foreign enemies.......

Now, the only remaining elite Cangbei Army of the Great Song Dynasty is also ......

It's horrible.

Su Yuanjing is the most aware of the combat effectiveness of the Cangbei Army and the importance of defending the border.

If Zhao Gonglian was angry, 20,000 of the most elite united border troops, more than 40,000 fierce warrior monks who had been trained, and hundreds of thousands of monks who hated the imperial court.......

Su Yuanjing was so shocked that his legs went weak and fell on the Taishi chair.......

This force was hastily formed in Hejian Mansion, and it was too late to train the 100,000 border army villains, and the ruffians and rabble could stop and exterminate it.

He didn't understand, how could a frivolous and stupid rotten Confucian literati like Geng Nanzhong, who had no experience in governing politics at all, be so promoted and act so recklessly?

New Emperor Zhao Huan....... Don't dare to expect anything. Could it be that the Emperor Taishang is also blind?

............

When the imperial court received the report from Su Taiwei, they were all shocked for a while.

Cai Jing, Zhang Bangchang, Tong Guan and others ignored Geng Nanzhong's stirring up trouble and let him do nonsense, on the one hand, they used the ignorant and fearless Geng Nanzhong as a knife to test Zhao Gonglian with a slight suppression of public opinion, and they would not ignite the hostility and hatred of Zhao Gonglian, who was on fire, and more importantly, they wanted to use this incident to frustrate Geng Nanzhong's prestige...... The humble little man suddenly took power, and he was the only cronie of the new emperor, he was too proud, these days he was empty, and he didn't put Zhu Zi of the Manchu Dynasty in his eyes, and he wanted to coerce the new emperor in everything and resisted his own decision, and everything had to be decided by his advice in the end, and he really didn't know how to do it...... Let him taste Zhao Gonglian's greatness rashly, accept the lesson, lose face, lose prestige, have no face and be arrogant, be honest, know how to respect the boss, and everyone can work together harmoniously.

But they didn't expect Zhao Gonglian's reaction to be so violent this time.

Although the monitoring officials sent by the imperial court were killed, anyone with a discerning eye knew that Zhao Gonglian was fighting back against Geng Nanzhong, but in this way, it was tantamount to turning the face of Cangbei and the imperial court, which would undoubtedly make the already turbulent and unpredictable future and fate of the Great Song Dynasty more dangerous and unpredictable.

What should I do if Zhao Gonglian is really blatantly reversed?

Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others know Zhao Gonglian too well.

They didn't rationally analyze how many rebel chips Zhao Gonglian would have, they just needed to know that the fierce Hou Ye acted boldly and domineeringly, but he never did anything uncertain, and if he was not ready, it was impossible to be so ....... to the imperial court That's enough.

Zhao Gonglian did not write a letter to condemn the wanton slander of the capital, nor did he justify the necessity of killing so many civil and military officials, and did not hide his intentions at all, showing that he had completely lost confidence in the fairness and clarity of the imperial court, and did not bother to say anything to the imperial court and the king at all.

Show justice, give me an explanation, make me satisfied, and that's it, otherwise don't blame me for being disloyal and rebelling.

This is undoubtedly the bottom line that Zhao Gonglian showed to the imperial court.

Tong Guan and the others were shocked, and the old Cai Jing, who had just been lucky enough to regain his phase, was even more distressed. He is getting old and decayed, and he is more spicy in politics than before, but his energy and physical strength are far from enough, and he does not have the help of his children and grandchildren as in history.

When he was frightened, Gao Jiguang, the son of Zhao Gonglian's founding honor, who was the main general, privately urgently reported to the imperial court that the secret fold had arrived, and it said: He saw Zhao Gonglian shoot the case angrily after learning of Tokyo's slander: "Good thief, dare to insult my grandmother's reputation." Pigs and dogs should be cut with a thousand cuts. “

He said that the scene was very terrifying.

Zhao Gonglian was so angry that his face was distorted, and his eyes seemed to breathe fire. The Qingzhou army generals were angry and asked for battle, drew their swords and roared, and were willing to fight bravely to the side of the Qingjun in Tokyo for the hatred of the marshal, and vowed not to withdraw their troops if they did not kill all the proud traitors who brought disaster to the country and the people. The soldiers below were also in an uproar and angry, and spontaneously gathered to ask for battle, willing to follow the commander. The warrior monks and soldiers are even more terrifying, looking forward to directly rebelling and killing those who go to the capital to slaughter everything that destroys Buddhism.......

At that time, the clamor for war against the imperial court was shocking, and the civil officials were also disappointed in the imperial court, and they also followed the advice to ask for war...... Everyone seems to be crazy, and that scene can scare people's hearts and guts.

In the past, Zhao Gonglian thought of the grace of the past and the loyalty and righteousness of the courtiers, although he was indignant at the injustice of the court, he had no objection, but now he is not sure. The current Qingzhou is a powder keg, which may explode at any time, and if it touches that string a little, even if Zhao Gonglian doesn't want to rebel, he is afraid that he will be embraced by the generals when the time comes.

And he Gao Jiguang is now a pure light pole, he has been invisibly stripped of his military power, and he can't move a soldier, if he hadn't treated the soldiers well in the past, he was afraid that he would be cut down by the impulsive soldiers on the spot, and he was not dead but was under house arrest in the house, and he could only talk to Qi Shiye, and the surviving deputy general Meng Dingguo, who acted steadily and took care of the overall situation, was speechless, and his life could be lost at any time.

In the end, he said: "The minister is incompetent, he has failed the grace of God, and his sin deserves death, and he has no choice but to wait for death." ”

A Qing monarch almost didn't scare the thieves in the court to death.

What is even more feared is that the border army supported and forced Zhao Gonglian to rebel and seize power.

The Great Song Dynasty was originally taken from the orphans and widows of the Chai family by Chen Qiao's mutiny.

If Zhao Gonglian seized the throne of Tokyo, then the people who played power and pleasure in the Manchu Dynasty, including the royal family, were all black-hearted damn bastards in the eyes of the border army, and there was no chance to allow the new dynasty to be rich and noble, even if Zhao Gonglian did not order them to be punished, they would all have to die in the pursuit of the chaotic army.

Zhao Ji, who was hiding in the deep palace and cultivating the Dao, heard the wind and turned pale with fright.

The new emperor Zhao Huan was even more frightened.......

Immediately, Lu Yihao, the prefect of the Xin'an Army, He Guan, the prefect and general of Jizhou, and Han Zong, the chief general of the Qianning Army, also arrived almost together.

The Qianning Army is a garrison between Cangbei and Cangzhou, strengthening the border defense, although there are administrative officers, but there is no prefect and county administration, only the general represents this place.

The wording in the secret letter of the three commanders of the three armies in Cangbei is different, but the general meaning is the same, they are all angry and ask the court: At this time, such rumors forced Zhao Gonglian, is the court afraid that I will not die in the rebels? Or was he afraid that the border army would be stable and united, so he deliberately sent people to split the border army in Cangbei to cause internal strife and disintegrate the border defense, so that the Liao Kou, who was embarrassed and anxious, could easily cross Cangbei and quickly go south to overthrow the Great Song Dynasty? What exactly does the imperial court want to do......

The secret compromise erupted with endless surprise and anger......

Zhao Gonglian was disheartened and returned to the countryside, because of the gentleman's kindness, he reluctantly returned to Cangbei to stabilize the army's heart, he ignored official business, had no intention of power, and the court still let the civil and military soldiers who were planted in Cangbei incite hatred of the imperial court to follow the court and create opposition to Zhao Gonglian and the original Cangbei army, so naïve to play with fire**, it was detected and held, and it can be inferred that those people secretly conspired with the enemy country to speculate and act in a disorderly manner, and they can always calm Zhao Gonglian's resentment and the anger of the border army. Under the banner of Emperor Taishang, he openly split the border army to resist arrest, and as a result, many copies of the secret decree were found, which shocked Zhao Gonglian's coldness and insidiousness, exposing the true malice of the royal heart towards Zhao Gonglian, and the evidence was conclusive, completely tearing the last veil of the king's hypocrisy to fool Zhao..... This kind of hateful fool, disturbing the morale of the army, is only counted according to military law, shouldn't he be arrested and punished? Splitting the border army, almost disintegrating the already grim border defense, and exposing the king's heart, shouldn't he be damned?

It was reported earlier that the heart of the Cangbei Army is only on Zhao Gonglian alone, not to mention the Qingzhou headquarters where Zhao Gonglian is in charge, that is, many of the other generals of the three armies only recognize Zhao Gonglian, not to mention ordinary soldiers, who are completely blindly worshiped and fanatically followed, and only a few people in the three armies recognize the imperial court orders?

The previous large-scale defection of the Cangbei Army due to the anger caused by Zhao Gonglian's resignation and return to his hometown has already illustrated the seriousness of the problem.

At that time, the imperial court should have deeply awakened and attached great importance to it.

Before the border army defected, from the chief general Gao Jiguang and the general Qi Shiye in Qingzhou, to the chief general Lei Yanxing of Lu Yihao, the prefect of the Xin'an Army, to He Guan, the prefect of Jizhou, and to Han Zong, the chief general of the Qianning Army, they realized that the army was not in the imperial court, and they admitted that the army was incompetent and could not control the army to be loyal to the imperial court and repeatedly applied for transfer. As a result, although there are many talented and intelligent people in the DPRK, they are all people who are afraid of danger, bitter flies, and dogs, and none of them are willing to risk and sacrifice for the country and dare to take over. These chief officials had to do it hard, hoping that the court would stop making stupid moves, but it was good, it hadn't calmed down for a few days, and they actually made a slanderous trick to stimulate and persecute Zhao Gonglian and the Cangbei Army again......

The three secret compromises almost directly scolded the court: You are in the capital, you want to die, and actively do death, that's your business, why do you play these tricks that can't be used on the table to trap us loyal ministers who are loyal to the Great Song Dynasty with their heads to death? Are you all stupid pigs, or have you lost your conscience and lost your humanity?

The extreme fear and anger of the chief officials of the three military states can be clearly felt thousands of miles away, and the court, including the Emperor Zhao Ji, is as hot as having two mouths on his face anyway.

Things have developed to this unexpected point, Cai Jing, Tong Guan and other traitors and ministers knelt down in front of Zhao Ji to take the blame for Zhao Ji and shirk the blame for themselves, quibbling that the pirates made the state affairs too critical and complicated, and they were so busy that they were dizzy, and they were negligent for a while and didn't take care of the already stable Cangbei affairs...... Please forgive the Holy God and remove the ministers, Yunyun.

At this time, the monarch and ministers are still entertaining themselves and singing with tacit understanding.

The thieves were naturally scolded by Zhao Ji, who was frightened and angry, and was bloody.......

They have suffered on behalf of others, they have been wronged, it is useless to be angry and angry, and they don't dare, so naturally they will target the frivolous Geng Nanzhong one by one......

The court was afraid, and no longer dared to tacitly target Cangzhao. Cangbei invisibly took the opportunity to gain autonomy.

Therefore, He Xuantong praised Zhao Gonglian's hand knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger is too wonderful.

But Geng Nanzhong, who was only under the fire in the DPRK, was not convinced, nor was he afraid.

The key is, having fun but not wanting to get rid of it all at once, at this point, he can't pull his face and reluctantly admit that he has done something wrong and admit that he can't do government politics, one weak and one retreat, the power and wealth he finally looked forward to are gone, even if he is only the only cronie and favorite of the new emperor, with the new emperor believing in him to protect him, he doesn't want to have another chance, and when he gets off the stage, the end is unimaginable.....

Therefore, for the sake of his own power and interests, he not only was not afraid of the coercion of Zhao Gonglian leading the army, and refused to take the initiative to stop the slander and rumors to make concessions, but also seemed to have the kind of Confucianism who was a scholar who could not be defeated and suppressed. Zhao Gonglian is playing tricks to fight with us, forcing us to admit defeat and give in. We must not show cowardice and give in, and we must not allow their treacherous plans to succeed.

As long as he withstands the pressure and perseveres to the end, Zhao Gonglian will eventually have to compromise, and he will not really be a thief and leave a name for himself in history.

Otherwise, the prestige that the new emperor and the new dynasty wanted to establish would have failed, and I am afraid that it would never be established again...... At that bad step, his Geng Nanzhong's phase must not be guaranteed, and the new emperor's throne will have to be transferred because of this.......

Although Zhao Huan was extremely afraid of a strong man like Zhao Gonglian rebelling, this fool really easily believed Geng Nanzhong's scholarly nonsense.

The point, of course, is that he fears that his throne will be deposed.

Therefore, he did not issue an order to appease Cangbei, let alone prohibit the spread of slander from the capital......

Geng Nanzhong sat proudly in the mansion of the new division, and under the praise of sycophants such as the famous but unambitious Confucians and Tai students who followed and took refuge, he drank the extraordinarily attractive "fragrant tea" added by the pirates, and was proud: The original appearance is so tough, but he will not retreat, I see what you Zhao Gonglian can do...... Playing with the old man? Zhao Lian, are you still too tender......

is like Taiwan's so-called Executive Yuan Lai: I am in the capital of Taiwan, if you can't kill me, I will willfully cause a split, what can you do?

Ancient and modern traitors and traitors are the same common disease: drill if there is a seam, go on the advantage, see the wind and make the rudder, kneel and lick and recognize the godfather just to hug the thigh and get on the top, the ambition is rampant, the knife holder is not on the neck, the life is not in danger, the wealth is worry-free, and he dares to provoke things and do evil.......
