Chapter 304: Is it a savior?
Mei Zhili came back with five million, and the agreement was signed, and everything went according to the previous plan, and even better. But even more trouble came, Xijing Luoyang was to be handed over to the Han State, and the family of the Emperor Taishang was also handed over to the King of Han, which was simply a great shame for the Great Song Dynasty, which made the official family almost faint.
The official pointed at Mei Zhili and scolded: "You have read books in the stomach of a dog for so many years, so insulting to the national body and the monarch's father, you are still an important minister in the court, it is simply better than a pig and a dog." ”
In the face of the angry scolding of the official family, Mei Zhili lowered his head and did not dare to speak, he knew that at this time, the reverse dragon scale was looking for death, and it was better to wait for the official family to finish the fire.
The official family did put the Emperor under house arrest, but after all, it was a struggle for imperial power, and it was his father after all. Now someone wants his father's woman and his sister, how can he, as the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, not be angry in this situation?
The wrath of the Son of Heaven, millions of floating corpses, bleeding thousands of miles. This time, the official family was really angry, he moved to kill, and he couldn't kill Liu Zhenglong, the king of Han, but killing Mei Zhili was still a breeze. Although it is said that the Great Song Dynasty has no tradition of killing civil officials, it is not without precedent, and no one can interfere with whoever the official family really wants to kill, after all, the majesty of the emperor cannot be violated.
Mei Zhili was not stupid enough to let the official family cut off his head, and after he saw that the official's anger had subsided a little, he hurriedly defended himself: "Your Majesty, this matter is two-sided, and it is not necessary for our Great Song Dynasty to suffer." ”
"Shut up, my father's women have all been given away, and the Great Song Dynasty has not suffered. Don't you send your wife to the barracks to reward the three armies, and you won't suffer! "Zhao Huan, the son of heaven, is a little vicious, he really has the idea of sending Mei Zhili's wife to the military camp, but he still wants to hear Mei Zhili explain why he was stupid enough to sign such an absurd agreement. There will be an inside story in this, no matter what. You can't easily kill the ministers of the peace council.
"The hot potato, once Han Guo gets it, it will be much more difficult to throw it out again." Mei Zhili knew that if he didn't say it clearly, he wouldn't have a chance to speak, so he cleared his throat and said: "Liu Zhenglong is my important minister of the Great Song Dynasty after all, and he is the protégé of the Emperor Taishang, a concubine. Just imagine, this kind of identity, relying on force, to ask the court for the emperor's family, in the eyes of the people of the world, the only one is a chaotic minister and thief, becoming the enemy of the whole world, and it has become a delusion to ascend the throne and call the emperor in the future. The minister is ready to fight back, setting off this round of battles in which everyone in the world will participate, and definitely turning Liu Zhenglong into a public enemy. ”
Speaking of this, Mei Zhili became triumphant, and on the way back to the capital, he began to think about how to deal with this problem, and of course he also thought of making the Han King stink from the public opinion and making it the public enemy of the whole world.
Seeing that the official family was a little tempted, Mei Zhili continued: "We will use this incident as an excuse to show the Jin State that in the future, the Great Song and Song States will not be mutually exclusive, and we are willing to unite with the Jin State to deal with the Han State, and I believe that the Emperor of the Jin State will definitely agree." Liu Zhenglong will change from the savior in the hearts of the people to a heinous rebel and thief, this hot potato, he can't get rid of it if he wants to. ”
"You can handle this matter with full authority, I hope it is a hot potato as you said, don't let me down." Although he said that he would let Mei handle the ceremony, the official family still had no bottom in his heart, and he always felt that it was not good for his father's reputation and royal face to launch this round of battle, and he didn't think that he would definitely be able to hurt Liu Zhenglong, and he was even more afraid that stealing chickens would not lead to rice, and in the end the gains would outweigh the losses.
It's really hard to say whether the people of the world can hate Liu Zhenglong, after all, this guy is famous for his murder, and he has reached a situation where water can't be splashed, how can he be easily knocked down by literati? However, the damage to the reputation of the Emperor Taishang cannot be changed, and the loss of Xijing is also a matter of imminence, how can these make Zhao Huan, the son of heaven, not upset?
Mei Zhili got the sword of Shang Fang, this guy had a very bold idea, he said very carefully: "The King of Han has always been loyal to the Emperor Taishang, if because of this incident, the Emperor Taishang fell ill with anger, and it didn't take long for the dragon to return to the sea, I believe that the King of Han has really become a chaotic minister and thief, and has really become a sinner for the ages, and he will no longer find any reason to confront our Great Song Dynasty." ”
"Is that okay?"
"Absolutely."
"You let me think about it. This is a big matter, so don't spread the word. "Zhao Huan, the son of heaven, was moved by Mei Zhili, and the Emperor Taishang has always been a time bomb, and he doesn't know when it will be detonated. It is also officially based on the reason of the Emperor Taishang, so many people will support the King of Han. If the Emperor Taishang is gone, this guy will really become a chaotic minister and thief, and he will no longer be able to find any reason to confront the Great Song Dynasty. However, after all, it was his father, and it was difficult to make a decision in both emotion and reason.
For Mei Zhili, only if the Emperor Taishang dies, then his plan can be considered perfect, otherwise there will always be a problem in it, and once the Han side counterattacks sharply, his lies will be exposed.
Although he was anxiously looking forward to the death of the emperor, Mei Zhili knew that this matter must be arbitrary by the officials, and if he said too much, he would catch fire.
After Mei Zhili came out of the palace, he immediately brought Sun Fu, Wang Shiyong, and Xu Bingzhe to discuss how to attack King Han in the newspaper. You must know that these four guys are the vanguard of the opposition to the King of Han, and they have always advanced and retreated together, and the goal is to pull the King of Han off the horse. As for why they hate King Han, they can't say it themselves.
After Mei Zhili finished his trip to Jingzhao Mansion, Sun Fu said: "Brother Mei, you are too inferior, you were actually played by a rude Qiu Ba, that kind of condition will definitely not be proposed by Liu Zhenglong, no matter how lustful he is, no matter how arrogant he is, he will not make such absurd conditions." And you actually agreed, this is not good, you will become a sinner for the ages, this black cauldron, you will be determined. ”
"Yes, you are a smart one, confused for a while, that kind of thing can be discussed by the courtiers, can the courtiers decide? You are doing this to isolate yourself from the world, and one day in the future, you will definitely come out to carry the black pot, and no one will save you at that time. Although King Han came from the wrong way, but after all, he is a generation of heroes, how can he be so stupid, it is clearly the people below, why can't you tell it? Wang Shiyong knows Mei Zhili better, he firmly believes that this guy is unprofitable and can't afford to be early, if there is no benefit, just Bao Xu's punch and slap will not make Mei Zhili, the old and cunning old fox, succumb, so he beat his old friend, and the future of the province will not end well.
Xu Bingzhe shook his head and said: "Don't get excited, Brother Mei must have a way to get this matter back, otherwise he will break his legs, and this guy will not sign the agreement that humiliates the country, don't you know him?" Let's listen to what this guy has to say. ”
I have to admit that Xu Bingzhe's analysis is in place, this guy is good at analyzing people, and it can be said that no one around him will be able to pass. After all, he is a literati and has the pride of a literati, he doesn't believe that as soon as Bao Xu threatens, Mei Zhili will approve the clause of losing power and humiliating the country, there must be something greasy in the middle, as for what it is, he can only let Mei Zhili reveal the answer himself.
Mei Zhili unhurriedly said the conversation with the official family, of course, he revised the paragraph about the emperor, instead of saying it bluntly. After all, that kind of thing, no matter how good a friend is, can't share it. After the organization of Mei Zhili, in the end, the section of the Emperor Taishang became the meaning of the official family, of course, the emphasis is just speculation, and the official family did not say it explicitly. But that kind of thing doesn't need to be explained, it's already quite telling.
In the end, Mei Zhili said: "Please come here, just thinking about how to use this major incident to attack Liu Zhenglong, so that all the people in the world will participate in the verbal and written criticism of this bastard, but everyone is arrogant, he is just a chaotic minister and thief who deceives the world and steals his name, is greedy for money and lustful, and he is not the savior of the Great Song Dynasty at all." ”
This kind of playing with the pen to attack people, it can be said that the four people here are all masters, and the concocted articles are simply handy. Fake can be made up of real, as for the real one, hehe, it depends on the actual needs.
Attacking King Han from the newspaper, this time it was supported by the officials, so that the four of them were very confident, and finally Wang Shiyong said: "It's better for me to take the lead, let Liu Zhenglong, a guy who doesn't know the height of the sky, go to hell, is what I want to see the most, I will write the article, and I can't help the rest." After all, if this matter is done well, everything is easy to say, and it will be quite troublesome if it is messed up, so everyone should go all out, no one should offend King Han alone, this is an iron law, everyone must touch it, otherwise it will be very troublesome. ”
The reason why I didn't dare to blindly offend King Han too hard was that King Han had a group of killers under him, which the whole world knew, so Wang Shiyong and others fought with King Han for so long, always occupying the moral high ground, and never blindly engaging in personal attacks, after all, King Han is also a literati, and he will not be as unreasonable as a bastard like Bao Xu, but the dragon has reverse scales, and if he goes against it, he will die, and everyone still obeys this iron law.
On the first day, Wang Shiyong only tentatively published a signed article "Loyal Ministers or Rebellious Ministers and Thieves? The article only expounded that the Han State was threatened by war, and asked the Great Song Dynasty to send everything to the Emperor Taishang, and finally asked in a tentative tone whether this was the behavior of the Han King who was loyal to the Emperor Taishang, or the act of a rebellious minister and thief with ill intentions. Although it was only elaborated, without Ghosn's emotions in it, it still set off an uproar, and the whole capital was in a commotion, and the Tai students began to demonstrate, demanding that the imperial court resist this shameless act, demanding that the imperial court cut off all contacts with the Han State, and even the extreme Tai students called on the imperial court to send troops to recruit rebellious ministers and thieves.
Overnight, the savior who saved the Great Song Dynasty from fire and water became a chaotic minister and thief who bullied the royal family and was arrogant. Some people compared the king of Han to Wang Mang who usurped the Han dynasty, and some compared him to Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms, in a word, the literati of the entire capital began to condemn the shameless behavior of the king of Han.
Since this fire was lit, Mei Zhili and others began to fire on it, and civil officials joined the round of battles one after another, even Fan Zhixu, who had a certain impression of King Han before, and Bai Shizhong also wrote articles to start condemning. Soon a boiling trend was formed, and many Tai students who did not know the truth gathered at the gate of the Han Palace, and the situation deteriorated day by day.
The meritorious group led by the four major families all chose to remain silent, as if nothing had happened, but no one knew where this storm was blowing.
At this time, the Jin State made the necessary response, and after the Emperor of the Jin State was willing to receive the envoy of the Han Dynasty, there was a time to finalize the meeting with the envoy of the Song State. And the Western Xia is now in the middle of the war, no reaction has been made, and Tubo has also joined in the condemnation, it seems that the royal family of Tubo is not having a good time at this moment, and is also struggling under the oppression of the ministers. The civil strife in Dali is still escalating, so it is not involved.
Things tend to move in a direction that people can't control, so there is a saying that people plan things and things get done. When the national public opinion was one-sided, and the literati in the entire Great Song Dynasty were criticizing the Han king, different voices suddenly appeared, although they were small, but the impact was greater.
The first voice first came out of Ying Tianfu, the article was written by a long history of Ying Tianfu's palace, the title is "The Loyal Son of Heaven Protégé, the Golden Dragon in the Predicament" The article is very long, very long, it is in the form of serialization, the first day is just to elaborate on the history of the Han King Liu Zhenglong's family, which is full of the emperor's love for this son of heaven's protégé, making it a magical process of becoming the savior of the Great Song Dynasty step by step, I can't see anything on the surface, but the content of the next day is different, The god-like Liu Zhenglong made great achievements for the Great Song Dynasty, capturing Li Chage, the king of Jin, the god of war of the Western Xia, and Li Qianshun, the emperor of the Western Xia. In the Battle of Taiyuan, he captured alive Wanyan Zonghan, the marshal of the Western Front of the Jin State, and annihilated more than 100,000 Jin cavalry. It was precisely because the army led by the King of Han fought bravely and finally drove away the Jin soldiers, otherwise the Great Song Dynasty would have been finished long ago.
There are more and more content in the back, and it begins to tell about the crimes of the Jin army, if the state capital of the Great Song Dynasty is occupied, the common people will live in dire straits, and massacres will occur from time to time. Let's ask whether the common people want to live a peaceful and stable life, or whether they want to live a life of singing and dancing in the Han family, whether they are willing to live a peaceful life in the Han family, where men and women weave, and enjoy themselves, or are they willing to spend the days in dire straits, precarious, and will be oppressed and killed at any time. In a word, he is a child of the Han family and a slave of a foreign race.
The image of the King of Han gradually became tall and glorious, and the common people gradually understood and recognized the savior of the Great Song Dynasty. Ordinary people who don't know the truth are talking in the streets and alleys, presenting different arguments and arguing endlessly.
