Zheng Fei was in a hurry to recruit the Liaoxia two armies at the same time, his eyes have always been observing the changes in one side, that is, Tokyo Bianliang, he is very curious, what is the final result of the big change in Tokyo Bianliang, is the Zheng family defeated Zhao Huan, or Zhao Huan destroyed the Zheng family, or both sides lost?

It's just that no matter which result it is, Zheng Fei believes that it is beneficial to himself.

Calculate the time carefully, it has been a long time since someone was sent to bring Zheng Xiunian's handwritten letter to Zheng Juzhong, and it stands to reason that things should have had a result a long time ago, but the strange thing is that there is still calm in Tokyo, as if nothing has happened, if it weren't for the fact that the spies in Tokyo are still in contact with the headquarters, Zheng Fei even wonders if the spies in Tokyo have exposed their identities and have been given a nest by Song Guo,

Not only did there be no news from Tokyo City, but the Song army on the opposite side also behaved very strangely, they were originally in the west of Bozhou, and they were ready to attack at any time when the Tiandao army and the Xia army were in a bitter battle, but not long after Zheng Fei surrendered the Xia army, they withdrew their troops, and the whole line retreated to the line of the Daimyo's Mansion, putting on a posture of stubborn defense. If this is the case, it can still be explained by Song Jun being afraid, but the strange thing is that Yao Gu actually didn't let out a fart, and he had completely cut off all contact with the Heavenly Dao Army.

Zheng Fei felt that the more this was the case, the more likely it was that something earth-shattering had happened in the Great Song Dynasty, and the reason why he had not received the news must have been because the Song Dynasty had taken unprecedented and successful secrecy measures against this major event, so that the secret agents in Tokyo City had not been able to find out the exact news. Zheng Fei couldn't help but regret a little, he knew that this was the case, he shouldn't have withdrawn Uncle Zhang in the first place, and he should have been allowed to continue to lurk in the Great Song Dynasty.

Finally, after waiting for a few more days, the news came, but it was an incomparably shocking shock to Zheng Fei, Zhao Huan, ascended the throne!

Six days ago, Zhao Ji officially issued an edict of abdication, announcing that he would cede the throne to the crown prince Zhao Huan, and he became the emperor.

On the same day, the first thing Zhao Huan did after ascending the throne was to declare Prime Minister Zheng Juzhong a national thief, listing the ten major crimes of Zheng Juzhong and the Zheng family, the biggest three of which were "forcing the palace", "coercing the monarch" and "coercing the prince", not only the previous coup d'état and the responsibility of imprisoning the emperor were all pushed to Zheng Juzhong and the Zheng family, but also said that he was actually held hostage by Zheng Juzhong, and all the orders issued by the emperor during this period of time were actually done by Zheng Juzhong, and Zheng Juzhong was a thief who held the Son of Heaven hostage to order the princes!

And he Zhao Huan endured the humiliation, pretended to succumb to Zheng Juzhong on the surface, but actually secretly contacted the loyal ministers loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, and finally found a good opportunity to defeat the traitor Zheng Juzhong, and then he went to the palace with the ministers to ask the Emperor Taishang to re-take charge of the government, save the country and save the people, but the Emperor Taishang often thought about his own mistakes in these days of imprisonment, learned from the pain, decided to make an edict against himself, and ceded the throne to Zhao Huan, the prince who had both ability and political integrity, and eliminated thieves for the country.

Zheng Juzhong himself has committed suicide in the prince's rebellion, but his family and the same party have basically been caught in a net, Zhao Huan announced, the Zheng family and dozens of main party members are beheaded, although Empress Zheng is not the Zheng family's troubled country, but there are also many mistakes, should have died with the Zheng family, but the emperor read in his years of service, just abolished her queen's position, into the cold palace. The only one who was not arrested was Zheng Xiunian, who was also convicted of capital crimes, and once he was arrested in the future, he would be executed immediately!

In short, an unprecedented crisis in the Great Song Kingdom ended with Zhao Huan's complete victory and ascension to the throne as he wished.

Zheng Fei finally understood now, no wonder there was no movement in Tokyo City, it turned out that Zhao Huan had already started, and then one question after another instantly rose in Zheng Fei's heart, according to his original idea, the Zheng family who got the news earlier should have a better chance of winning, but why did Zhao Huan win in the end? How did Zhao Huan defeat Zheng Juzhong and the Zheng family? How did he cover up such a big thing, and for so long, no news was leaked at all?

Putting aside these doubts, one thing can be affirmed, that is, the reason why Zhao Huan did this must be to hide himself, so as to secretly calm the chaos in the court, especially the crisis of the front-line army.

Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that he did it, and the reaction of the Great Song Dynasty to his accession to the throne looks very bland, indicating that he has completely controlled the imperial court, and from the fact that Yao Gu and the Song army have not had the slightest turmoil, Yao Gu has so far thrown the commander of the Song army, and also intends to retreat on the front line of the Daimyo's Mansion with obvious intent on the whole line, indicating that Yao Gu acted without authorization, especially the serious consequences of causing the two armies of Liaoxia to be surrendered by himself, did not arouse Zhao Huan's disgust, and still won Zhao Huan's trust.

In other words, Zhao Huan saw through his own strategy and did not fall for himself!

Zheng Fei was really puzzled, what happened to this Zhao Huan? How did you suddenly become so smart? An unprecedented crisis, in this way, not only was he secretly moved step by step, little by little, but also successfully and completely controlled the Great Song Dynasty, which is not like him at all!

The next day, new news came immediately, and all Zheng Fei's doubts were explained.

It turned out that Zhao Huan "quelled the rebellion" and ascended the throne, and there were thieves who were punished, so naturally there must be heroes who should be rewarded, and this news is the list of heroes who Zhao Huan announced a big reward.

In the long list of "heroes", the names of several people particularly attracted Zheng Fei's attention,

The first is Yao Gu, Zhao Huan named Yao Gu as a defender in Beijing, Xuanfu envoy, and officially became the commander of the Song army on the front line, this is not over, the Yao family has also been rewarded, Yao Gu's two sons, Yao Pingzhong and Yao Youzhong have been named generals, and led the troops to Beijing to help Yao Gu.

The father and son led the troops on the front line together, which fully reflected that Zhao Huan chose to continue to trust Yao Gu, and it was even better than before, because before that, Yao Pingzhong and Yao Youzhong both served in the Beijing Division, although their positions were not low, but everyone understood that they were actually hostages, that is, they were wary of Yao Gu's betrayal of the Great Song Dynasty, but now they were sent by Zhao Huan to Yao Gu's side, doesn't it show that Zhao Huan trusts Yao Gu more and is not wary of him at all?

In addition to the Yao family, what surprised Zheng Fei even more was a name that could be said to be thunderous, Li Gang!

Zhao Huan appointed Li Gang as the squire of the military department.

Li Gang is a Jinshi in the second year of Zhenghe, before he was just a small official in the imperial court, at the beginning of the year, because of the letter to Zhao Ji painfully Chen Shi's shortcomings, imploring hard work, Zhao Ji was greatly dissatisfied, and demoted him out of the capital as a tax officer in a small county, probably because of this, Zhao Huan felt that Li Gang was not the old emperor's person, he could be trusted, so he recalled him back to the court after the mutiny, and now he was directly promoted to the military department without warning, there must be only one reason, that is, Li Gang has made a great contribution!

What great achievements has Li Gang made?

After Zheng Fei thought about it, he felt that there was only one possibility, that is, all the fruitful behaviors that Zhao Huan was doing so far were likely to come from Li Gang's suggestion! Because of the group of straw bales around Zhao Huan, if he really had that ability, he would not have been turned around by Zheng Fei and Zhu Wu over the years. Therefore, Li Gang is the most suspicious!

Zheng Fei couldn't help but regret for a while, he was so secretive that he actually forgot to attack Li Gang in advance.

So who is Li Gang?

If you say who is the leading figure among the national heroes who emerged in the late Northern Song Dynasty and the early Southern Song Dynasty in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, there are three people who are absolutely well-deserved, the first is Zong Ze, the second is Yue Fei, and the third is Li Gang.

Historically, during the Jingkang Change, the Jin soldiers surrounded Kaifeng, Song Huizong had no owner, Li Gang, who was the Taichang Changqing at the time, risked the crime of killing his head to implore Song Huizong to abdicate, Chan let Zhao Huan, Song Huizong agreed, and then there was Song Qinzong, Song Qinzong also chose to trust Li Gang, who advocated the war against Jin, and appointed him to be responsible for the defense of Kaifeng, and fully presided over the anti-Jin war. After Li Gang took office, he led the Kaifeng army and people to complete the defensive deployment in time, personally went to the city to supervise the battle, and repelled the Jin soldiers.

Jin Shuai Wanyanzong saw that Kaifeng was difficult to attack, and turned to the plan of luring surrender, the Song court was filled with an atmosphere of humiliation and surrender, and Li Gang was dismissed by Song Qinzong because of his resolute opposition to the Jin land and sued for peace.

Wanyan Zongwang was unable to break through Kaifeng, and after the Song court promised to cede the three towns of Hebei, he withdrew his troops in February of the first year of Jingkang. The Kaifeng Garrison was victorious under the organization of Li Gang.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the Jin soldiers withdrew, Li Gang was rejected and framed by the surrender faction of the Song court, and Song Qinzong did not want to use him anymore, but the prestige of Li Gang in this matter shocked the world, and Song Qinzong, who had been gradually swayed by the idea of surrender, did not dare to dismiss him casually, so he forced Li Gang to serve as the Xuanfu envoy of Hedong and Hebei in May of the first year of Jingkang, which actually drove him out of the court. After Li Gang took office, the Song court restricted everything again, so that the Xuanfu apostles had an empty name and no power to control the army. Li Gang was forced to resign in September, and the Song court found an excuse to punish him for the crime of "monopolizing the war and spending money on the loss of his teachers and money", first blaming the Jianchang army for resettlement, and then demoting Kuizhou.

Not long after Li Gang was demoted, the Jin soldiers went south again to besiege Kaifeng. On the eve of being captured, Song Qinzong thought of using Li Gang and appointed him as a scholar of the Imperial Palace and the leader of the Kaifeng government, but to no avail. By the time Li Gang learned of this fate in Changsha, the Northern Song Dynasty had already perished.

After the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, King Kang Zhao Gou set up another imperial court in Nanjing Yingtianfu, in order to take advantage of Li Gang's prestige, he used him as the right servant of Shangshu and Zhongshu Shilang (right Xiang), Li Gang rushed to Nanjing, tried his best to plan for Gaozong to reorganize the dynasty, organize resistance to Jin, and launched a sharp struggle with Wang Boyan, Huang Qianshan and other surrender factions around Gaozong. He opposed surrender and advocated "all peace talks" and severely punished Zhang Bangchang and other Song Dynasty officials who served the Jin soldiers. In order to strengthen the strength of the anti-Jin struggle, he recommended Zong Ze, an old minister who resolutely resisted the war, to stay in Tokyo and go to Kaifeng to renovate the defense facilities; He also strongly advocated the establishment of the Hebei Zhaofu Division and the Hedong Economic System Division to support the anti-gold struggle of the military and civilians of the two rivers.

Li Gang's rectification of military and political facilities helped the Song court to support the situation, and it was still acceptable to Song Gaozong. However, his advocacy of resolute resistance to Jin and opposition to surrender was not tolerated by Song Gaozong, Wang Boyan, and Huang Qianshan. Especially when he tried his best to welcome back the two saints, he offended Zhao Gou's bad head, just imagine, if the two saints return, Zhao Gou, the emperor, is still appropriate? Therefore, they managed to expel Li Gang again. First find an excuse to degrade Ezhou first, and then exile Hainan Island!

In exile, although Li Gang was excluded, he always cared about state affairs, repeatedly stated his political views, continued to oppose humiliation and surrender, and supported Yue Fei's struggle against Jin. Until the first month of the tenth year of Shaoxing, he died in a sad and indignant mood.

Li Gang, a well-deserved national hero! And he is a national hero who is absolutely capable of turning the tide, it can be said that if even one of the Song Qinzong or Song Gaozong in history can firmly trust Li Gang, plus trust Zong Ze and Yue Fei, perhaps, history would have been rewritten long ago.

Now, the three leading national heroes, Zong Ze has been completely disappointed in the Song Dynasty and returned to himself, although Yue Fei is still floating outside, but at least it has not been used by the Song Court, and there is only one Li Gang left who has not been done, it can be said that as long as Li Gang is done, the Great Song Dynasty will have no hope at all, and Zheng Fei has also thought about attacking Li Gang, but he has never had a chance, he also thought that Li Gang would not emerge until at least a few years later, and at that time the Song Kingdom had been destroyed by himself, who expected, the change of history is like a butterfly effect, Somehow, Li Gang was enabled by Zhao Huan in advance! And Li Gang also played a huge role again, and helped Zhao Huan resolve the big crisis in front of him as soon as he made a move!

After waiting for a long time, the bad news came again, and the Tokyo secret agent immediately sent another message not long after the last news was issued, it turned out that Zhao Huan had just appointed Li Gang as the squire of the military department in the morning, and immediately announced the appointment of Li Gang as the supervisor of the army in the afternoon, and immediately rushed to the front line of the Daimyo's Mansion to fight the enemy with Yao Gu!

Zheng Fei's heart couldn't help but ......!
