Chapter 1502 Expanding the Territory, the Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses (3)
Since the courtiers led by Yuwen Xuzhong who came to negotiate and negotiate also agreed to accept Xiao Tang's conditions, Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan, who were sincerely afraid, agreed to immediately transcribe the edict, and at the same time as returning to Beijing, they immediately sent the Ministry of Rites to be distributed by the post road to various places, and the local officials received the edict and announced the edict, ordering that the two emperors of the world had recognized the identity of Xiao Tang and the righteous army under his command.
Although according to the Song Dynasty, the emperor's edict, no matter how big or small the matter, is not allowed to be implemented unless it is passed through the Zhongshu Sect and the Privy Council, and the edict is drafted because it is discussed by the Zhongshu Sect, and the scholar is for it, and Yuwen Xuzhong is now a scholar of the Imperial Palace, and the court officials who were captured by the Jin army here are also many important ministers of the Zhongshu Sect and the Privy Council, as for the Song Dynasty State Seal, which was originally plundered by the Jin army in the official history and disappeared since then, has now been returned. There is no obstacle to the issuance of the edict on the spot.
However, Xiao Tang also kept an eye on it, and after watching the second emperor and the courtiers leave the tent, he said in a deep voice: "Brother Shiqian." ”
A thin figure suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Tang, and Shi Qian arched his hand and said, "What is my brother's dispatch?" ”
"Tonight, I will go to the camp where the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty are resting, although the two officials agreed so happily for self-preservation, and see how the other courtiers reacted."
Shi Qianjian said hehe smiled and said, "Order!" The younger brother's ability to fly the eaves and walk on the wall, and the ability to hide at night and hide at night, touched the mansions of very large high-ranking officials in the past, and it was as light as entering his own backyard. And although it is not the Imperial City of Da Nei this time, and I look coldly at what the emperor Lao Er and the big official did when they carried their brother behind their backs, this is also interesting. ”
The voice fell, and the time moved away, and he had already walked out of the handsome tent. He didn't go far, he seemed to have used his ability to sneak away again, and he was no longer seen in the company camp where soldiers roamed......
Xiao Tang did not expect badly, although Zhao Ji and Zhao Heng, the two faint monarchs, were cowardly, and the courtiers who came by them also recognized the conditions put forward by Xiao Tang, but among the many other Song court courtiers who were also captured by the Jin army, when they learned that the second emperor had decided to submit to the anti-army leader who had turned his back on the imperial court, some people also immediately expressed strong opposition.
According to the report of the Times, one of the officials named Li Ruoshui was inappropriate because he had lost the royal majesty and broken the old system of the Song Dynasty. It's just that although his attitude insisted, he also admitted that the green forest soldiers and horses led by Xiao Tang who were originally regarded as robbers and bandits by the imperial court had made great contributions to the monarch and the country, and it was okay to forgive the sins and seal the seal, but they could not get out of the control of the imperial court, and they had to bargain with Xiao Tang again and keep the bottom limit.
It is not surprising that this fierce courtier, who angrily reprimanded the enemy chieftain and was unyielding and killed during the martyrdom of Jingkang in the official history, would jump out against Xiao Tang at this time. On the contrary, Xiao Tang knew that Li Ruoshui was in the face of Wanyan sticky, coercive and lure in the face of Wanyan sticky, and scolded himself endlessly, and even cut off his tongue, gouged out his eyes and severed his hands, until he died in an inch, and the loyal courtiers who resisted the most fiercely, figured out his character, he should have seen that the official family was coerced by himself, and he would come to find himself regardless of life and death. But listening to the report of Shi Qian, it seems that Li Ruoshui did not reject the green forest soldiers and horses under his command as he imagined.
Later, when Qian mentioned that the imperial historian named Qin Hui Zhongcheng also expressed strong opposition to the second emperor's easy acceptance of all conditions, Xiao Tang smiled coldly, and secretly paid that since this guy has now shown his head, he will have time to slowly pay attention to this guy in the future. When it is confirmed that this Qin Hui's mental nature is really as he expected, he may also be able to use it, and it can be very useful in targeting the Song court......
However, the attitude of opposition was the toughest and most fierce, and the attitude of Xiao Tang's subordinates who had killed the Jin army and rescued the officials and clans, and even the green forest soldiers and horses of the Song court, including him, was originally in the official history, although he was ordered to unite the army and the people to fight to keep the capital from losing, and then was driven out of the court and to Kuizhou, but because of this, Li Gang, a famous anti-Jin minister who was not captured by the Jin army in the Jingkang Revolution.
Due to the loss of Bianjing in advance of the original trajectory, Li Gang personally led the army to fight against the foreign enemy when the Jin army invaded Bianjing, but then because Zhao Huan panicked and ordered the internal forces of Bianjing to be defeated, the army was defeated and captured, and he woke up from time to time during the journey of being exiled to the north due to his injuries.
However, after recuperation, when Li Gang woke up, he was shocked to learn that the Jin army captives were intercepted and defeated by the gang of anti-thieves and robbers in Shuibo Liangshan, and now he was replaced by Xiao Tang, a rebel and thief who turned his back on the imperial court, and took the opportunity to force the official family to submit.
After the passage of time, I relayed Li Gang's words, and listened to him say what "thieves are rampant, reverse the norms, and force the emperor", "succumb to the front of the thieves and compromise, where is the prestige and dignity of the Great Song Dynasty?" "Xiao thief first opposed the imperial court, and now forces the official family to allow him to open the palace and set up a hub, and is not subject to the control of the imperial court, if the thief succeeds, the Jurchen gold thief has not been eliminated, and the disaster of the five dynasties of the late Tang Dynasty is born again, if it is followed, it is tantamount to drinking doves to quench thirst, and I hope that the official family will be clear!" ”...... In the handsome tent, except for Xiao Jiasui, Xu Guanzhong and others, who were silent for a while and did not make a statement, many other leaders couldn't help but show a gloomy face, among which Li Zhu's pair of tricks had a fierce flash, and then looked at Xiao Tang again, as if he was asking the lord how to deal with this guy?
Xiao Tang smiled faintly, just waved his hand, and said that now that the Song Dynasty is weak, no matter how Li Gang makes trouble, it will not affect the overall situation, and he does not plan to meet Li Gang and other characters, but said in his heart: Then Li Gang should be the kind of typical Wenchen who is too upright and extremely unkind......
Li Gang, who is now estimated to be only in his early forties, seems to be indeed an upright and upright courtier from his reputation and deeds, but it is also because he is too strong, right and wrong are too clear, and there is no room for a little sand in his eyes.
Not only that, but what is even more serious is that Li Gang often imposes on others the ideas he firmly believes. If his insistence is correct, he is abiding by the right path, but if his assertion is biased... It seems that such a war-experienced handsome talent in the division and the division of the division, in the official history, in the first Bianjing defense of the time to choose, as well as the temporary defensive in the Hedong war and other military proposals were also strongly vetoed by Li Gang, and later proved that ... It is true that no one is perfect, and Li Gang has the ability to organize the people of Bianjing to unite to resist the onslaught of the Jin army's first southern invasion and siege of Beijing, but he did make the great mistake of causing the army to be defeated due to the interference of Wenchen in military affairs.
In addition, when Li Gang first withdrew from Bianjing in the official history, Li Gang strongly advocated sending troops to pursue and detain the envoys of the Jin State, and even contacted Yelu Yujian and other Liao ministers to contact him to oppose the Jin Dynasty...... He did practice the Confucian idea of loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, and he was a strong courtier with a sense of justice, but because Li Gang believed too much that what he did was righteous, this kind of person was often the most stubborn, overconfident, unwilling to try to accept, and completely unable to listen to other people's ideas and opinions.
This is the case now, since he has already rebelled against the imperial court, Xiao Tang knows that in Li Gang's eyes, he is a national thief with evil intentions. Previously, it seemed like Liu Fa, Guan Sheng, Sun Ding... and many other civil and military officials who were originally loyal to the Song court, although they could understand it with reason and move with affection, they also said that they were willing to use it for themselves when the time came. But like Li Gang and other figures, Xiao Tang certainly respects him as a famous anti-gold minister who emerged during the overlapping period of the two Song Dynasty, but it can be roughly expected that if he wants to see him, he is very likely to be scolded by Li Gang pointing his nose and scolding him.
Kill them in a rage? It's not suitable, Xiao Tangxin didn't say that he had to do it as a last resort, and he didn't want to use the butcher's knife against those loyal and martyred courtiers who left their names in history. And his reasonable mouth cannon? It is not necessarily of any use to such a stubborn and arrogant courtier, and it is not necessarily useful to be reprimanded by Li Gang's righteous words, and he can't understand his own reasoning with him, so it is better not to please that boring.
What's more, now that Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan have firmly accepted all the conditions they offered, they will not plan to teach Li Gang to jump out and cause trouble. Xiao Tang knew that even if Li Gang was to take power in the Song Dynasty one day, according to his habit of interfering too much in the use of military generals, it might still be a good thing for his own side. It was Xiao Tang who also instructed the leaders in the account: Let that Li Gang toss between the monarchs and ministers of the Song court, there is no need to see him, let alone touch him.
Early the next morning, roughly as Xiao Tang expected, Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan sent people to pay respects early, reporting that the official family had transcribed the edict in yellow, and gave Xiao Tang and even the heroes of the righteous army on all roads, just waiting to announce the world.
