The fact that the Han army did not pursue the 30,000 Jurchen cavalry of Yan Wushu did not mean the end of the battle. The Han army slaughtered the capital in a mighty way, and at the same time, the battle report was also transmitted to the capital with the situation of flying pigeons.

The newspaper was full of news of the victory of the Han army, and the word invincible of the Han army appeared in the hearts of the people of the capital for the first time, and of course it became a thorn in the hearts of the officials.

Abominable, shameless, traitor, rebellious and thief, these bad words kept spurting out of the mouth of Zhao Huan of Song Qinzong, and there was no doubt that he was very jealous of the word Han Army.

One hundred and sixty years ago, the change of Chen Qiaoyi, the yellow robe, and the achievement of the Great Song Dynasty, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin took away the country from the hands of orphans and widows. Since then, every emperor of the Zhao family has been very jealous of the generals, especially the generals who have military power, no matter how loyal they are, they will not die well in the end.

Di Qing, the god of war in the Northern Song Dynasty, died depressed, he met the benevolent Song Renzong, the emperor of the ages, if he was replaced by other Zhao emperors, Di Qing would not end up depressed, but was executed with notoriety, and the whole family would suffer.

Yue Fei, the god of war in the Southern Song Dynasty, died tragically in Fengbo Pavilion, and he met Zhao Gou of Song Gaozong, which was the fate that the Great Song Dynasty military generals should have the most. Incompetent generals can get into the mix, and the general Liu Guangshi, who wanted to escape, was finally crowned the king of the county, and Zhang Jun, who was defeated in the Battle of Fuping, won a lifetime of glory and wealth. In a word, in the Great Song Dynasty, military generals can be greedy for military salaries, can defeat battles, can be incompetent, must not be invincible, must not be greedy for military power, otherwise they will be the enemies of the official family.

The generals are afraid of the officials, and it is understandable to be cruel, after all, the emperor is afraid of losing the throne, and the throne of the Great Song Dynasty is not in the right way. However, it is a bit shameless for those civil officials who are full of poetry and books to attack military generals unscrupulously. The depression of Di Qing, the god of war in the Northern Song Dynasty, ended with the initiator of the literary leader Ouyang Xiu, the famous minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, Han Qi, and Wen Yanbo. The tragic death of Yue Fei, the god of war in the Southern Song Dynasty, is the masterpiece of the champion Qin Hui.

Now, the undefeated god of war Liu Zhenglong's slaughter finally attracted the fear of civil officials, and on the second day of the appearance of the word invincible in the Han army, Li Gang, the leader of the main battle faction, asked for an order to kill Liu Zhenglong, the king of Han, a rebellious minister and thief, and Fan Zhixu, who had always been upright, also asked for a decree to remove the king of Han from military power. Even Zhou Bangyan, the former master of Liu Zhenglong, published an article in the newspaper, openly accusing Liu Zhenglong of being a rebellious minister and thief.

The overwhelming criticism of the civilian officials, the posture was eager to tear Liu Zhenglong to pieces, the meritorious group was collectively silent this time, the reason why it did not launch a counterattack was mainly because the attitude of the official family was too weird, and on the second day of the withdrawal of the Jin army, the attitude of the official family changed, and it was obvious that the criticism of Liu Zhenglong by the civilian official group benefited more from the official family.

Inside the Que Yun Tower, the four major families gathered again, this time the person in charge of presiding over the meeting was still the Dragon Gongsun Sheng of the clouds, outside the Que Cloud Tower, Wu Er, Lu Da, Wang Gui and other three people were in charge, and hundreds of dragon scale members were distributed around, like a great enemy. Of course, not far away, he was watched by the inspector of the Imperial City Division.

Zhuyun Dragon Gongsun Sheng did not have the Dao bone fairy style of the past, and he said very heavily with a serious face: "The cunning rabbit goes, the hunting dog cooks, the birds are exhausted, and the good bow is hidden." Before the Jin army left, the official family was ready to make a move against the king of Han, and it is estimated that a holy decree will be passed down in the next two days to remove the lord's military power. At the same time, you will be closely monitored by the imperial court, and once you find any movement, the official will not hesitate to wave the butcher's knife. ”

Gao Chen nodded and said: "The situation is even more serious than what the Taoist said, I have been ordered to be suspended, and the commanders of the forbidden army have all been replaced, all of them have been replaced by people from the Zheng family, at this time, the official family does not believe anyone except the people of the Zheng family." Now, we will either fight back, cooperate with the outside and welcome the Han King into the city, or we will close our doors, cut off all contact with the outside world, and wait and see what happens. ”

"Fight back, of course it's going to fight back." Shi Yi's temper is not very good, he has already decided to marry his daughter to the King of Han as a side concubine, and is ready to be the founding father of the King of Han, how can he sit still? This guy said angrily: "The official family is originally very paranoid, and they are full of suspicion and hatred towards the King of Han. Now that we are bewitched by Zheng Juzhong, Huang Qianshan, Wang Boyan, Wu Min and others, even if we sit and wait to die, it is difficult to ensure that we will be cleaned up by the officials. Since, I have been preparing to let King Han's yellow robe add to my body a long time ago, so I have to hesitate at every step. One hundred and sixty years ago, our ancestors tried their best to protect our ancestor Zhao Kuangyin's 'yellow robe', but how did the Zhao family treat us, what kind of wine to release military power, to put it bluntly, isn't it to prevent military generals from abusing power and preventing the second 'yellow robe'? Although the commander of the forbidden army has changed, at least half of it is under our control, and as long as the city gate is opened, we can smoothly welcome the lord into the city, and the victory is still on our side. ”

Pan Xu shook his head and said: "I'm afraid that King Han doesn't mean this, it is not difficult for the lord to seize the Zhao family." But he didn't want to be infamous as a rebel and thief, and he didn't want the Jin army to take advantage of the fire to rob. Now as long as the lord ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, then the Great Song Dynasty will fall into a civil war, and the Jin army will definitely go south again, in that case, the world will be in danger. We still have to calm down and listen to what the Taoist chief has to say. Unexpectedly, the lord let the Taoist preside over the overall situation in the capital, then there must be a complete strategy. ”

Pan Xu is the father of Pan Yun, the princess of Han (Liu Zhenglong, the king of Han, and Pan Yun are just for the outside world to see, among the four major families, everyone points out that Pan Yun is destined to be the princess and will be the queen in the future, and no one can shake this status. It was the head of the Pan family, and his words were still extremely weighty, and everyone suddenly calmed down a lot, and everyone also knew that it was not the best time to overthrow the Zhao family, and they were just venting their indignation just now.

Gongsun Sheng said: "Now, you have to do a few big things, the first is to publicize in the newspaper that the King of Han defeated the Jin army, while emphasizing that Taiyuan Mansion, Hejian Mansion, and Zhongshan Mansion are still under siege by the Jin army, and they are in a bitter battle, and the whole city of soldiers and civilians is united to resist the Jin army. Then he pointed out in the most subtle tone that the imperial court ceded these three important military towns to the Jin State, which was tantamount to chilling the hearts of the army and the people in the War of Resistance, and it was tantamount to digging their own graves, and doing so was sorry for the dead soldiers and the ancestors. The second thing is to keep a closed door, cut off all contact with the outside world, and ignore any provocations from civilian officials. Third, he sent someone to contact the Emperor Taishang, on the one hand to show his allegiance, and on the other hand, pointed out that the Jin army withdrew not because of any contract, but because it was defeated by the Han king. The reason why the official family couldn't wait to attack the Han King was mainly because the Han King was loyal to the Emperor Taishang, and the officials were afraid that the Emperor Taishang would return to power. Now Cai Jing, Li Bangyan, Liang Shicheng and other important ministers of the Emperor Taishang's era have been executed, which is to cut off the road to the return of the Taishang. At the same time, it should also be pointed out that if the official family is allowed to toss, the Great Song Dynasty will be finished. For the sake of the country, please ask the Emperor Taishang to come back and preside over the overall situation. King Han is willing to escort him, and he is willing to move overseas and never come back after he becomes famous. Fourth, the king of Han will enter the city soon, and no matter what happens, you should not pay attention to it. The king of Han arranged freely, no matter what kind of actions the official family makes, you don't want to be recruited, this time the king of Han entered Beijing, which is to give the Zhao family the last chance. Don't worry, the strongest army is loyal to the king of Han, and the officials can't help the lord. As for the other things that need to be done, I will inform you one by one, and now everyone will go back. ”

Shi Yi asked puzzledly: "Dao Chief, I don't know something, since it was pointed out in the newspaper that the imperial court lost power and humiliated the country, and ceded Zhongshan Mansion, Hejian Mansion, and Taiyuan Mansion to the Jin State, then why didn't you publicize it, but pointed it out in a concealed tone?" Wouldn't it be better to make public opinion overwhelming and emotional? ”

"Once the crowd is full of affection, then the king of Han will be executed by the official family when he enters the city, and the situation will be out of control at that time. It was a scene of a change of dynasty, not what the King of Han wanted to see. Speaking of this, Gongsun Shengshen said mysteriously: "Only a concealed tone can only be understood by educated people, and finally the Tai students will open the lid, thus shaking the foundation of the Zhao family." You must know that Tai students are the most impulsive, and their voices will spread to every corner of the Great Song Dynasty, so that everyone will not know that the Zhao family is incompetent and unable to defend the country, and the King of Han is the savior. But the Zhao family's attitude towards the savior is to unload the mill and kill the donkey. persecuted the officials not to dare to kill the king of Han, and the biggest thing was to release the military power with a glass of wine. For the lord, military power is just a piece of paper, and there is no use. The Han army has already laid the brand of the king of Han, and no one can command it. ”

"Then what if, the official family promises to use high-ranking officials to win over those commanders in the army and overthrow the king of Han?" After all, Gao Chen has served in the Privy Council for many years, and he still sees the crisis.

At this time, Xiao Rang, the scholar of the Holy Hand of the proprietor of Que Yunlou, who had been silent, said coldly: "The Dragon Soul Society has already penetrated into every corner of the army. Anyone who betrayed the king of Han would be secretly executed. Not to mention the commanders in the army, even the slightest change in the head will be executed. The Dragon Soul Society does not need a reason to kill people, as long as they are suspected of disloyalty to the King of Han, they will be executed. The lord also wants to take this opportunity to carry out a major purge in the army, and for those who are not strong-willed and still want to be executed in their hearts, none of them will be killed. It is better to have a river of blood in the army than to keep a single traitor. It is better to kill three thousand by mistake than to let one go. After this incident, the Han army was truly invincible and swept the world. Military academies will provide a steady stream of military commanders, and the training camps of the Forces nouvelles will provide a steady stream of soldiers. The premise of the invincibility of the Han army is absolute loyalty to the king of Han, and the first element of every military commander is loyalty to the king of Han. In the military academy, if you can't be absolutely loyal to the king of Han, you are not allowed to leave. Moreover, their families are under the control of the Dragon Soul Society, and once they betray, the whole family will be executed. ”

It didn't sound loud, but the murderous formation made the quilts present break out in a cold sweat, but they also knew that King Han would never enter the capital unless he made all preparations. There are four major families in the city to do internal response, coupled with the Han King's combat effectiveness is unique in the world, the official family wants to do something to the Han King in the capital, that is, the fish dies and the net is broken, that is, the official family is destroyed in advance, and the Han King ascends the throne and becomes the emperor.

Gongsun Sheng continued: "The disciples of the old immortal Lin Lingsu are on standby at any time to escort the King of Han, the dragon scales have long been ready for battle, not only that, but there is also a secret team in the imperial city, once the official family orders the execution of the Han King, then the official family's head will not be saved." ”

At this moment, everyone was stunned, King Han's subordinates had already secretly infiltrated the palace, it seems that there should be surveillance in the homes of the four major families, King Han really has the strength to reign over the world, and no one can stop him.

Whether it is to put the king of Han under house arrest or kill the king of Han, this makes the official family very headache, this is also the topic of quarrels between civil officials, civil officials are divided into two factions, Fan Zhixu, Bai Shizhong advocated that it is a glass of wine to release military power, and Wang Shiyong, Li Gang and others insist on cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, and the future troubles will be repeated.

The reason why Wang Shiyong and others insisted on executing Liu Zhenglong was that Li Gang and others had protected the capital and had already caused the Jin army to leave, so Liu Zhenglong should be executed in this case, and this guy in the province had military power to threaten the imperial court. These civilian officials think of the military as too simple, as if a civilian like Li Gang can easily command the army, ensure the authority of the official family, and ensure the civilian world.

Fan Zhixu, Bai Shi and others are honest civil officials after all, in their opinion, Song Taizu's cup of wine to release military power is the right way, after all, the Han King made great achievements in war and defeated the Jin army. If the king of Han is killed rashly, once the Jin army goes south again, who will come to the rescue of King Qin. Let the king of Han hand over the military power, if the country is in danger in the future, he can still go out to protect the country.

The forces of the two factions are very large, and the quarrels are endless, so that the official family can't make up their minds for a while, and they have a headache. However, there is one thing that everyone has reached a consensus, that is, to reward those generals and promise high-ranking officials to overthrow the Han King and control the army. These civil officials also weakly believe that the army belongs to the imperial court, and as long as the generals promise high-ranking officials, they will definitely be loyal to the imperial court.

On the one hand, he was promoted, on the other hand, he was transferred, this hand played beautifully, at least, the official family thought that the game was beautiful, whether it was the execution of the King of Han or the release of military power with a glass of wine, the first thing to do was to recall the King of Han back to Beijing. The official family issued an order to let the king of Han enter Beijing, and in order to declare his favor to the king of Han, he was allowed to bring 1,000 guards into Beijing. In the eyes of the officials, a thousand guards can't make any waves in the capital. He didn't know that the 1,000 guards under the command of the King of Han were far more than the combat effectiveness of the 10,000 forbidden army.

In the face of the endless arguments between the civil officials, the official family was a little tired, and when he returned to Miyagi, he still felt haggard.

When Concubine Zheng Guifei saw that Song Qinzong Zhao Huan was sullen, she said with a smile: "Your Majesty, now that the Jin army has left, you should be happy, why are you depressed." ”

"Concubine Ai doesn't know, and how to deal with King Han has become a piece of my heart. Some advocated a glass of wine to release the military power, and some advocated killing it, and I couldn't make up my mind for a while, and these guys quarreled louder than the other, eager to poke a hole in the Jinluan Palace. ”

"Then Your Majesty, do you want to kill or stay?"

Song Qinzong Zhao Huan gritted his teeth and said: "Kill, kill without forgiveness, this is a chaotic minister and thief, he must be killed." ”

"Then since Your Majesty wants to kill, then it would be better to kill it directly, why bother?"

"You women have long hair and short knowledge, what do you know! In the Great Song Dynasty, it has always been a civil official, and it is absolutely impossible to kill such an important minister as the King of Han without the approval of the political affairs hall. "Song Qinzong Zhao Huan has a feeling of powerlessness, he knows that his authority is insufficient, not enough to suppress the ministers of the political hall, and his father is still making waves in the south of the Yangtze River, how can he kill the king of Han arbitrarily?

Concubine Zheng said with a smile: "Since Your Majesty can't make up your mind for a while, why don't you ask my father?" ”

"Yes, these Heavenly Masters are unwell, they don't go to the court, and with him, I don't have to be embarrassed." Speaking of this, the official family's mood was much better, and he said with a smile: "Aifei, then do you say that you should kill or stay?" ”

"The concubines don't understand national affairs, but they just know one thing, thunder, rain and dew are all royal graces, and if you kill the king of Han, it is also a grace to the king of Han. As for whether to kill, to stay, or to be arbitrary. "Concubine Zheng Guifei has already had an idea, but she doesn't want to say that now that her daughter is only three months old, where is she in the mood to care about any national affairs!

Qiangang is arbitrary, these four words deeply stimulated the most sensitive nerves of the official family, and he said excitedly: "Yes, I should be Qiangang arbitrary, how can I let the emperor come to Jiangnan Hu?" Tomorrow, I will decree that the Emperor Taishang should return to Beijing as soon as possible and retire in the capital. ”

Song Qinzong Zhao Huan did not expect that his Qiangang would be arbitrary, pushing the Emperor Zhao Ji in another direction, and he was going farther and farther, and he could never turn back.

Zheng Juzhong was summoned to the palace overnight.

Facing the questioning of the official family, Zheng Juzhong said: "Father Qing is not dead, and it is difficult to be reckless. If you don't kill King Han, I'm afraid it will be difficult to suppress those arrogant generals.

"Killing the King of Han is not an easy matter, whether to give poisoned wine, or assassination, or extermination." Song Qinzong knew that there was only one chance to kill the King of Han, and if he failed, the consequences would be unimaginable, and he would force the King of Han to rebel. Although it is possible to divide the army of the Han King back to Xi'an by promoting and making a fortune, it is not a matter of overnight, and there is also a process. If during this period, the King of Han rebelled, the situation would be out of control, Zhao Huan was clear about this, if it was simple, he would not have a headache, let alone discuss with Zheng Juzhong.

Zheng Juzhong has been sick at home for the past few days, and he has been thinking about how to kill Liu Zhenglong all day long, and he is not stupid Of course he knows that there is only one chance to kill the King of Han, and once he fails, it will definitely be a nightmare. The problem now is that the king of Han already has the strength to change the dynasty, but there is no excuse to usurp the throne, and assassination is the best excuse.

Facing Song Qinzong's questioning by Zhao Huan, Zheng Juzhong said schemingly: "Give poisoned wine, the king of Han will not only not drink it, but will take the opportunity to make trouble, you must know that the army under the command of the king of Han is enough to raze the capital to the ground, and the poisoned wine will give him an excuse to rebel." As for the assassination, it is even more unworkable, King Han is the number one master of the Great Song Dynasty, and even Lin Lingsu is not sure to defeat him, who in the world has the ability to assassinate him? Strangulation is also not advisable, although the king of Han only brought a thousand guards, but they are all killing machines that have fought bloodily on the battlefield, and they are definitely not the first to resist by the forbidden army. Although the forbidden army can annihilate it, who can guarantee that the king of Han will be killed? If those guards resist to the death and finally let the Han king escape, then he will still rebel. ”

Hearing this, Song Qinzong Zhao Huan's face sank, and he said angrily: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what should I do, you said that you want to kill the King of Han, and now you say that you can't kill it, it's rare for me to do it myself?" ”

Hearing that the official family was angry, Zheng Juzhong hurriedly knelt down and explained: "Your Majesty is angry, Weichen means that the soft knife kills without seeing blood, and it can also block the mouth of the world." ”

"How to kill with a soft knife?"

"The official family can give the Yun Wangfu to the King of Han in the name of sympathy for the King of Han, you must know that there are beautiful women here, and this lustful guy must be happy. We took the opportunity to take the opportunity to poison him, so that after three or five months of merry life, he died naturally, and the imperial doctor could claim that the king of Han was obsessed with beauty and excessive sex, and finally collapsed and died. In this way, you can not only block the mouths of the world, but also pour dirty water on the King of Han, what savior, what Song God of War, is just a womanizer. Moreover, occupying the Yun Palace, it will completely offend the entire royal family, and it will also offend the literati in the world, and Liu Zhenglong will completely lose the hearts of the people. ”

After scheming, Zhao Huan of Song Qinzong couldn't help but secretly give Zheng Juzhong a deep thumbs up, he said: "It's still the old man of the country who has become a country, but King Yun is just an envoy to the Jin army camp, and after the Jin people cross the Yellow River north, they still have to return, so it is not appropriate to reward the palace of King Yun to the King of Han." ”

Just say that it's inappropriate, I didn't say no at all, which shows that Zhao Huan of Song Qinzong recognized Zheng Juzhong's plan, but he couldn't say it on the face, after all, as the emperor, he rewarded his younger brother's palace and the female dependents in the palace to the courtiers, how can this be recorded in the history books?

"It is not the Yun Wangfu rewarded by His Majesty, but the Han King relied on his great military exploits to forcibly occupy the Yun Wangfu. It is to fall in love with Princess Yun's beauty, and forcibly possess it. The matter of the dove occupying the magpie's nest is a shameless act of the King of Han, and it has nothing to do with His Majesty. Speaking of this, Zheng Juzhong's old face showed an evil smile, and he lowered his voice and said: "Send the master of the Imperial City Division to rob and kill King Yun halfway, and the crime can be pressed on the head of King Han." ”

"Okay, you can handle this matter."

Dumbfounded, Zheng Juzhong didn't expect the official family to give him this task, you must know that once this step is wrong, then the King of Han will definitely uproot the Zheng family, and when the time comes, the official family can only acquiesce, and will definitely not save himself. But Jun didn't joke, he could only pinch his nose and follow the difficult task.

Murder of the King of Han, this task for Zheng Juzhong, whether it succeeds or fails, the future will be very difficult, after all, once the military makes trouble, the meritorious family makes trouble, and the cowardly and incompetent character of the official family will definitely not be able to resist, and it is very likely that he will be convicted in the end, which makes Zheng Juzhong in a dilemma.
