Chapter 528: The Goryeo Rebellion
The cabinet ministers are very ...... and careless about this kind of thing.
Because they are as smart as they are, they have already seen everything in the first place!
Jinyiwei made a mistake, but they are the emperor's henchmen, how shrewd the Zhao official family is now, how can they reduce their own minions?
Therefore, this matter is actually a simple 'corruption case' on the cabinet side!
Tens of thousands of acres of land, the amount is a little larger, and the impact is a little worse, but that's it.
There are so many officials in the Great Song Dynasty, there are not too many corruption cases to be born every year, and the special ones are now the bereaved families of military martyrs! They cabinet bigwigs aren't in the mood to spend more energy. With this energy, they should think about the entry of the Goryeo mission into Beijing in the near future, wouldn't it be more fragrant?
"The soldiers sacrificed their lives for the country, but what happened after their deaths was so embarrassing, and the orphans and widows were bullied, wouldn't it make the officers and soldiers feel cold when it was spread? He who commits a crime is not a son of man. According to the old man's opinion, he will be punished with a higher degree of sin, how about it? ”
Since the emperor was very concerned about the army, Shangshu of the Criminal Department felt that it would be dealt with strictly. It's also a good sales department!
"That's the result?" After getting the cabinet's handling opinions, Zhao Gou was a little dissatisfied.
But he also knew that there was nothing wrong with the cabinet's handling. And even to some extent already ruthless.
After deducting respect and relatives, the people in the clan who stretched out their hands and shameless people were treated as "strangers", and Zhao Gou couldn't say anything just because of this point.
But he has grievances in his heart after all, because the victims are military dependents or the bereaved families of military martyrs. Can this be the same? Can it be a sin plus one degree that can be fooled?
"Spread my word, one should be committed, and three generations will not be allowed to enter the office!"
"Tell the world again that in the future, anyone who dares to do anything about the bereavement must be dealt with strictly and severely. Three generations are not allowed to enter the office, and they don't care who they are. ”
Zhao Gou did not overturn the cabinet resolution, but only added another article.
Then he asked someone to inform the cabinet: "The Goryeo envoys will arrive in Beijing in a few days." "Then how to face the Goryeo Kingdom, shouldn't the ministers also make a decision?
After all, after beating Zhao and Song to drive the Jurchens to the north, Goryeo returned to the "right path".
And after the Song army completely exterminated the Jurchens, Goryeo's attitude towards the Song was even more humble, even if there were many disputes between the two sides because of the problem of a large number of Jurchens fleeing into Goryeo. Goryeo was also as obedient to Zhao Song as ever.
The Goryeo monarchs and ministers headed by the king of Goryeo Wang Kai did whatever it took to curry favor with the Central Plains so that the Central Plains could not find an excuse to make trouble, so as to achieve the goal of maintaining their own independence. Even the monarchs and ministers of Goryeo have quietly done a lot of secret things with Japan in the past two years.
Although Jin Yiwei did not take it lightly, but there is a difference between China and foreign countries, and he is still a little beyond his power to infiltrate the high-level magnates of Goryeo, and many of the news about the collusion between Goryeo and Japan is still a secret!
However, the newly erupted monk Miaoqing Rebellion seemed to be God's help, making Zhao Gou feel like he was dozing and handed over a pillow.
Even if the Western Regions were at war, Zhao Gou was still in the mood to intervene in Goryeo.
This news was sent to Bianjing more than half a month ago, which was really unexpected by him. It is really unbelievable that a mere monk can become the agent of the two classes of nobles in Xijing (Pyongyang) in the Goryeo court, and he can also greatly influence the king of Goryeo.
Moreover, after the king of Goryeo (Wang Kai) denied the resolution of moving the capital to Xijing, the two classes of nobles in Xijing really dared to rebel, marching to Kaesong in the name of the Qing monarch, and absorbed many remnants of the Jurchen Xijing army!
When these news reached Zhao Gou's ears, he wondered if he was dreaming?
Originally, he was limited to Wang Kai's "reluctant" tactics, and he had already placed Goryeo backwards, but he didn't want to have a chance to come to him suddenly!
Even if it is not a good time for the army to send out to persuade Wang Kai to attach it, but this good time has obviously appeared.
The strength of the two classes of nobles in Xijing was originally far inferior to that of Kaijing, even if Kaijing had just gone through a big turmoil two years ago. The king of Goryeo went from plotting against his grandfather and father-in-law, Li Ziqian, and was imprisoned in the west courtyard of the Li family's ancestral residence, Chongxing Mansion, to his separation between Li Ziqian and Tuo Junjing.
Tuo Junjing is a famous general in Goryeo, and he is the son and daughter of Li Ziqian, the in-laws and the foundation of the military.
As soon as Tuo Junjing was co-opted by Wang Kai like this, Li Ziqian became elbowed and armpited, and was completely caught off guard, and the entire political group was caught up and down.
But Tuo Junjing, the second or fifth boy, did not end well, the cunning rabbit died and the lackeys cooked, and the whole family was exiled by Wang Kai.
At this point, Wang Kai completely controlled the military and political power of Goryeo.
However, because of Li Ziqian's rebellion, the support of the two classes of nobles in Kaijing was not strong enough, and Wang Kai also complained a lot about the political group in Kaijing. In other words, in order to suppress the two classes of aristocratic groups in Kaijing, he intentionally or unintentionally favored the monk Miaoqinglai. The Xijing Liangban group behind the latter has greatly increased its strength because of the inclusion of some Jurchen remnants.
Miaoqing also used the excuse that when Li Ziqian was in turmoil, Tuo Junjing led troops into the palace and burned down the Goryeo Palace, and bewitched Wang Kai to move the capital to Xijing, with a very simple intention, that is, to replace the two political groups in Kaijing with the Xijing political group behind him. He even attacked the terrain of Kaijing several times as unfavorable for defense, because Kaijing was too close to the sea. And whether such a harm should be considered or not, it is not necessary to ask.
The Koreans are not goldfish who remember seven seconds, and they will definitely not forget the sea army led by Liu Ziyu now.
Therefore, bewitching Wang Kai to move the capital is really not groundless.
This is the main reason for the repeated domestic struggles in Goryeo.
It's just that Wang Kai didn't move the capital to Xijing in the end, maybe he once had such an idea, but in the end he still chose to open Beijing. This also fundamentally shows the fact that the two classes of magnates in Kaesong are still in control of the Goryeo court!
For Miaoqing and others, this is certainly not a good thing.
Politics is not about having a dinner party, it comes at a price.
Under such a general trend, Miaoqing and other leaders of the Xijing group, their political lives have come to an end. If you give up and 'go into hiding' completely, the situation does not have to be bloodied and dead.
But they didn't give up!
Now Miaoqing, Zhao Kuang, Liu Min and others brazenly raised their banners to rebel, and marched against Beijing under the banner of the Qing monarch's side.
These people have an extra trump card called "Jurchen" in their hands, even from the perspective of power, they are still not the opponents of the Kaijing court that went through Li Ziqian's rebellion, but the actual effect is the opposite.
Up to now, the civil war in Goryeo has had a preliminary result, and the armies of the two sides have been fighting, and there are not too many Jurchen soldiers, who are the vanguard of the Western Army, and they are the first in every war.
Jin Fushi was the marshal's Kaijing soldiers, and he was not an opponent at all in battle, and he lost his troops in several battles.
According to the information revealed by the insider, the Goryeo mission led by Jin Fuzhe (Jin Fushi's own brother) originally came to the court with the intention of testing the actions of the Great Song Dynasty.
They also knew that Zhao Song was now using troops in the Western Regions, and now that a civil war had started in their own country, it was an extremely dangerous moment, but because of the war in the Western Regions, they felt that they still had at least some security.
As soon as the clinker Kaijing's army clashed with the Western Army, it fell into a big disadvantage. This is called the opening of the capital, and all the nobles are unexpected.
Because Jin Fushi's soldiers and horses are obviously much more than Xijing.
Kaijing's heads and brains thought they could succeed immediately.
overturned the boat all of a sudden, and the grasp in my heart fell short, so didn't I immediately feel a sense of crisis?
Jin Fuzhe received another order, telling him to ask Zhao Song for help in the domestic war while testing the mind of the Great Song Dynasty.
You don't need many soldiers, just a naval army, go north from the Yalu River and attack the rear of the Xijing Army!
