Chapter 238: The official family returns to Bianjing
When Zhao Huan arrived at Chenqiaoyi, Zhao Huan did not see the officials who greeted him, and he was very pleased.
My words are becoming more and more effective.
Zong Ze and others led 20,000 forbidden troops to Bianjing to take over the city defense.
After all, there are 140,000 Eight Gate Forbidden Army gathered under the capital of Yubian, and it would be interesting if Li Gang and the Eight Gates gave him a big surprise.
Zong Ze's speed of taking over the city defense and arsenal was quite rapid, and under the leadership of Zhu Xiaosun, the forbidden army took the lead in handing over the right fish talisman.
Of course, Zong Ze also checked the various armaments of the forbidden army in detail, and knew that these waste-like forbidden troops had no possibility of threatening the official family at all, so he began to take over the city defense work of the four walls.
There was no garrison in Bianjing, and the city defense army was all in charge of the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army, and the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army was broken up by Zhao Huan at the beginning, and it has not been able to resume its establishment.
Then there was the takeover of the arsenal and the city defense of the palace, this part of Shen Cong was in charge, Cheng Chu led 1,500 relatives out of the palace, and Shen Cong took over the city defense.
Since then, Zhao Huan's road back to Beijing has been smooth.
Zhao Huan frowned and looked in the direction of Bianjing, didn't he already explicitly prohibit greeting? Why is there a large area kneeling outside the city gates?
It wasn't until he saw Zong Ze that Zhao Huan knew that these were all soldiers of the Eight Gate Forbidden Army, and when they participated in the march to Bianjing, they were in a panic all day long.
Zhao Huan ignored them and let them kneel outside the city.
Even if there is no heart of rebellion, there is a fact of rebellion, Zhao Huan did not kill their whole family, it is already a manifestation of benevolence and righteousness, and now the relatives are still fighting bloody battles in Pingzhou, and the return date is uncertain.
Zhao Huan entered the city gate, thinking that he had entered the wrong city.
The streets of the entire Bianjing are clean, there is no figure, if it weren't for the Yongding soldiers standing on both sides of the royal street, he would still think that he was entering Datong Mansion, not Bianjing City.
"What's going on? Zong Shaoqing? Zhao Huan asked.
Zong Ze wiped his sweat and said: "Official, this is all arranged by Li Dazai, Bianjing City has just experienced a big chaos, and there are still people involved in the case who have not been brought to justice, if you rashly arrange for the people to greet you, I am afraid there will be an incident." ”
Zhao Huan nodded, Li Gang was careful and cautious, and it was not surprising that he could have such an idea.
"Let's go." Zhao Huan stood in front of the Great Song Palace, the city gate was opened, and on both sides of the Daqing Hall stood the pro-servant officials, and after the pro-subordinate officials, it was a hundred officials sitting on the ground.
The Great Song Dynasty knelt down, and Li Gang saw the big red crown at the gate of the palace and knew that it was an official family.
"Welcome Your Majesty back to Beijing!" Li Gang's voice sounded, and the sound of the mountains and the sea shouting was like a wave, converging into a wave, mixed with the sound of horns, drums and chimes.
Zhao Huan was not nervous this time.
I deserve to be like you! This is the respect I deserve!
He stepped forward step by step, striding with his head held high, without the slightest panic. Step by step, he walked to the front of the Daqing Hall and came to Li Gang.
"Li Dazai, hard work." Zhao Huan helped Li Dazai up from the ground and said.
Li Gang suddenly knelt down and said, "Minister, capital offense." entered the palace on a rainy night to coerce the inner palace, and then followed Sima Yi's old story, and the minister deserved to die. ”
Zhao Huan wanted to drag Li Gang up, but he couldn't pull it up, and his strength was quite strong.
"I forgive you for your innocence." Zhao Huan can be regarded as having accepted this Li Gang, and he is also a person who drills the horns of the bull, and he is very axial.
Li Gang was still kneeling on the ground, Zhao Huan shook his head and said, "Get up." ”
This Li Gang got up from the ground, he looked at the heroic new emperor, and secretly sighed that the Great Song Dynasty Zhongxing is just around the corner!
"I have wronged Dazai Lee during this time. A group of flies and dogs in the court can't help Dazai. The queen is a cowardly person, and she will cause trouble for you. If it weren't for Li Dazai's efforts to turn the tide, I would still be eating sand in Datong Mansion now. What is the sin? Not guilty, not guilty. Zhao Huan said with a smile.
He turned to look at the civil and military officials, there were many people in it, all of them were young faces, and Zhao Huan also saw Chen Dong and Ouyang Che sitting at the end.
Ouyang Che is a person who talks about rules, looking ahead, meticulous, while Chen Dong is much bolder, constantly standing up, looking at Zhao Huan who is standing in the Daqing Palace.
"What a new atmosphere! Lee Dazai! Sure enough, it lived up to my expectations! Zhao Huan was most deeply touched by the changes in the Great Song Dynasty.
When he left, the average loyalty of the ministers of the court was only 35 points, and the average loyalty to the Great Song was only about 50 points.
And now, most of the courtiers are loyal to him above 70, and the loyalty to the Great Song is at the level of 90 points.
This Li Gang is very knowledgeable, and many of them are talents who are recorded as teachers and Taoists!
"Official, please spare the lives of the people of Bianjing." Li Gang bowed his head again and said.
"Huh? Do you mean the relatives of those palace people? That is the unforgivable. Zhao Huan rejected the offer.
Li Gang wiped the sweat from his head, as if the official family didn't know what he was talking about.
"The relatives of those palace people, all those involved in the case are dealt with by the Yi three clans. There is no doubt about it, and even if the officials want to pardon, they can't do it. Because now they're all buried. Li Gang said, he didn't say those people.
"What kind of people of Bianjing are that?" Zhao Huan asked puzzled.
Li Gang pointed to the people of Bianjing outside the palace and said: "According to the rules of the past, the people of Bianjing City will be exiled for 3,000 miles. ”
"All?"
"All."
"What were the rules of the past?" Zhao Huan asked in surprise, is there still such a rule?
Li Gang replied: "The law of the ancestors." Emperor Taizong conquered Naihuan and returned to Beijing when he ......"
Zhao Huan frowned and asked, "Didn't you come back in defeat?" ”
Li Gang looked left and right and said, "Conquer Nai, conquer Nai." This is not the words of the old minister, it was said by Lu Duan, the prime minister of Emperor Taizong. ”
"Then Emperor Taizong's ancestral law, is it to expel the people of Bianjing?" Zhao Huan asked puzzled.
What does this royal struggle for the throne have to do with the people of Bianjing?
"The people of Bianjing did not oppose it to death, they repaid the Lord with death, and the crime deserved death, Emperor Taizong was benevolent and exiled for three thousand miles." Li Gang said.
"Then you don't have to comply. The people of Bianjing are not guilty. Desperate resistance, whose head fell off is not a big scar in the bowl? It is not the people's sin that the people do not resist to the death. This will be scrapped in the future. What a thing. Zhao Huan shook his head and said.
He Emperor Taizong lost the battle, and the prime minister wanted to establish Xiangwang Yuankan as the new emperor, but you Zhao Guangyi didn't control the courtiers, and blamed the people for not giving you their lives?
What kind of strange ancestral method is this?
"The minister still has a please, how about those soldiers of the eight gates outside the city? Please spare their lives. They didn't know what the Eight Gate Army was doing. Li Gang asked again.
Zhao Huan said angrily: "I don't know? When you set out from various military routes, you can say that you don't know, but when you go to Cizhou, don't you know? Didn't you know when you walked to Sangshu? After a month of marching in a row, you still don't know what they're going to do? Are they so stupid? ”
"They're that stupid." Li Gang replied truthfully.
