…

"Grand Duke, these two cannot be easily forgiven!"

Li Yan looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw that the person who spoke was one of the Tai students.

This person has good facial features, and there is a sense of perseverance between his eyebrows.

Li Yan looked at him and asked, "Who are you?" ”

The man said: "Student Chen Dong." ”

Hearing Chen Dong report to his home, Li Yanxin said: "It turned out to be him!" ”

The names of the six thieves of Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Wang Hao, Liang Shicheng, Zhu Mian, and Li Yan were given by Chen Dong.

Cai Jing and other six thieves, three were killed, one was released to the field, and the other two actually became fugitives from the crime, so it can be said that Chen Dong was the initiator.

During the Tokyo crisis, the Jin army surrounded Bianliang in Tokyo, and made demands to Zhao Huan of Song Qinzong: 5 million taels of gold, 50 million taels of silver, 10,000 cattle and horses, and 1 million silk horses; repatriate all the people of Yanyun and Yanyun to their places of origin; cut the three towns of Taiyuan, Zhongshan and Hejian and all the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of these three towns to govern the Jin State; Zhao Huan honored the Emperor of Jin as his uncle; They will also send princes and prime ministers to Jinying as hostages.

When Zhao Huan was approaching Tokyo by the Jin army, he originally planned to flee like his father Zhao Ji, but he had to stay in Tokyo under the strong persuasion of Li Gang and others.

However, at that time, Zhao Huan seriously lacked the determination to resist, so he worked with Li Bangyan and other surrenderers to seek peace, and was ready to accept Zongwang's conditions in full.

Later, Li Gang organized people and horses to actively resist, and the seed master Dao and others brought more than 200,000 soldiers and horses of King Qin to rescue.

Zhao Huan turned to the main battle.

Later, Yao Pingzhong launched a sneak attack, but was ambushed by the Jin army, losing more than 1,000 horses.

Yao Pingzhong did not dare to take the charge and fled.

As a result, a group of capitulationist ministers began to gloat and spread rumors that the reinforcements had been wiped out, and they also attacked Li Gang for causing a catastrophe.

When Zhao Huan heard this, he listened to the words of the surrender faction and became panicked, and then sent envoys to Jinying to apologize on the one hand, and removed Li Gang and the Seed Master Dao from their posts on the other.

Hearing that the imperial court was going to dismiss Li Gang from his post and compromise and surrender, Chen Dong was very angry, and immediately led hundreds of Tai students to flock to the Xuande Gate of the imperial palace and wrote a petition, demanding that the imperial court restore Li Gang and Seed Master Dao to their original positions, and punish Li Bangyan and Bai Shizhong traitors.

Later, these hundreds of people rolled to tens of thousands, most of whom were students.

Some people may ask, there were so many students in the Song Dynasty?

This has to say that Zhao Ji, Cai Jing and others have done too successful Taixue.

Each class is 3,000 and the duration of the study is eight years (because the foundation of the students is not the same when they enter the school, so the mastery of the students' study period is more flexible, and many of them graduate in less than eight years.) Slowly, too many students accumulated.

However, because of the limited number of official positions, the employment problem of too many students is becoming more and more difficult - in the first place, even the employment rate of one percent cannot be reached, and most of the students have no opportunity to fill the official position after graduation, especially those from poor families.

Eventually, these students either became private school teachers, or junior officials, or staff members, or they studied repeatedly, or they simply became unemployed vagrants.

This is also the reason why Li Yan asked for two thousand students Zhao Ji Junchen easily made it up, without him, there are too many, and there are too few opportunities, and Li Yan also has three packages (package distribution, package employment, package arrangement. ）。

Seeing that Chen Dong and the others had made such a big deal, Zhao Huan was frightened, and hurriedly sent an official to pass the decree, saying: "Li Gang failed to use his troops, so he had to stop it, and he was reinstated after a short retreat." ”

Many people angrily rushed into the court hall and desperately beat the "Dengwen Drum" (the drum that is played when there is an emergency), breaking the drum surface.

The cries of protest shook the earth.

Zhao Huan saw that the situation was serious, so he quickly reinstated Li Gang and Seed Master Dao.

After Li Gang was reinstated, he reorganized his ranks and ordered that all those who could bravely kill the enemy should be rewarded heavily.

The Song army had a neat lineup, high morale, and the strength of a battle.

But Zhao Huan did not dare to resist resolutely, and still sent people to negotiate with the Jin people and compromise and retreat.

Zong Wang saw that Li Gang was reinstated, and the Song army was greatly inspired, and he was also a little worried, plus Zong Han's troops were blocked in Taiyuan and could not encircle Bianliang in Tokyo, so he did not insist on the amount of money lost, and everything else was according to the previous agreement.

In the end, under the blows of the Song Dynasty soldiers and civilians, the Jin army did not wait to collect enough gold coins to collect, and then retreated north.

This is also one of the reasons why Chen Dong later wrote a letter requesting "to leave Li Gang and remove Huang Qianshan, Wang Boyan and other surrender factions", and asked "Zhao Gou to personally conquer to welcome back the second emperor", and then asked "Zhao Gou to return to Tokyo to resist, not to go to Jinling", and Zhao Gou, who wanted to flee south, killed him and Ouyang Che, who wrote a letter suggesting "reforming politics and resisting the Jin people", and reprimanded Huang Qianshan and other surrenderers.

But then again, it was precisely because Chen Dong and other students wrote a petition that Jingkang's shame happened a year late.

Judging from the results, Chen Dong and they were right, and the Northern Song Dynasty was not without resistance.

To be fair, petitioning is something that the rulers of all dynasties do not want to see, because this is an extremely unstable factor, and once such a thing happens, the situation is likely to develop in a direction that no one can control.

However, the reason why Chen Dong and other students petitioned was mainly because they complained that Zhao Huan and Zhao Gou were weak and greedy for life and feared death, otherwise Chen Dong and other students would never use such a radical way to admonish.

Chen Dong was asked by Li Yan on his own initiative, in order to wake himself up, because Li Yan knew very well that he was not a god, and there were times when he made mistakes, he had to have someone who was not afraid of death and dared to tell the truth to remind him at a critical moment.

In addition, the reason why the Song Dynasty went into decline was largely because the Imperial Court (Yushitai) became an ornament, so that Zhao Ji, Cai Jing and others had no constraints, Li Yan could not be in power forever, and future generations could not be a traverser like Li Yan, so Li Yan wanted to rebuild the Imperial Court and set up a supervisory body to restrain those in power in the future.

And Chen Dong is the talent that Li Yan fancies.

Li Yan looked at Chen Dong and asked, "Why can't the two of them forgive easily?" ”

Chen Dongdao: "Although it was not intentional, after all, the two of them made a move to the Metropolitan Governor, and if they did not punish you, it would be detrimental to the prestige of the Metropolitan Governor." ”

"This ...... It's not a big deal, is it? Li Yan said.

At this time, another person got up and said, "Although it is not a big event, it is necessary to be clear and exemplary, and the prestige of the Metropolitan Governor will not be damaged." ”

Li Yan looked at this person and asked, "Who are you?" ”

The man said: "Student Ouyang Che." ”

"Yes, Chen Dong's brother and sister are also here." Li Yan said in his heart.

Li Yan asked: "Then according to the two of you, how should I deal with the two of them?" ”

Chen Dong said: "This matter is decided by the governor and the official in charge of punishment, and the students dare not cross it." ”

Ouyang Che also said: "The student also means the same. ”

Li Yan pondered for a while and said, "Where is the torture Cao?" ”

Pei Xuanying said: "The lower official is here." ”

Li Yan asked: "What should the two of them be guilty of?" ”

Pei Xuan said: "If the two of them have intentions, they should be punished by the ten clans." However, this should have been an unintentional mistake, and it did not pose any threat to the Grand Duke. Therefore, the lower officials suggested that the sentencing should not be too heavy, and it is more appropriate to have less than 30 canes and more than 10 canes. In addition, these two people belong to the military, and how to deal with them should be decided by the Department of Military Justice, and I have no right to interfere, and the sentencing proposed by the subordinate is only a suggestion. ”

Li Yan said again: "Where is the Department of Military Justice? ”

Liang Hongyu responded: "The end will be." ”

Li Yan asked: "What should the two of them be guilty of?" ”

Liang Hongyu said: "Although the two of them have not yet joined our army, our Military Judge Advocate General's Department does not shirk this matter on this ground, according to the military law of my Liangshan Army and Master Pei's suggestion, the Military Judge Advocate General's Department punished the two of them with twenty military sticks." ”

Li Yan looked at Han Shizhong and Wu Jie, and asked, "What do you two think?" ”

Han Shizhong and Wu Jie are so angry!

Originally, the Metropolitan Governor didn't want to investigate their faults, and he didn't take the matter seriously, but as a result, Chen Dong and Ouyang Che were killed halfway, which not only punished them, but also possibly ruined their impression in the hearts of the Metropolitan Governor!

Hindering people's futures, such as killing their parents, if the thought could kill people, Chen Dong and Ouyang Che would have been slashed by Han Shizhong and Wu Jie!

But now is not the time to seek revenge.

Now it's imperative not to misunderstand these two loyal men!

Therefore, hearing Li Yan's inquiry, Han Shizhong and Wu Jie said at the first time: "The young general is willing to receive the punishment." ”

Li Yan didn't ink, and said directly: "Pull the line to be punished." ”

After a while, Han Shizhong and Wu Jie, who had each received twenty military sticks, came back with their butts pouted.

They glared at Chen Dong and Ouyang Che fiercely, and then stepped forward and said, "The young general is back to life." ”

Facing Han Shizhong and Wu Jie's vicious gazes, Chen Dong and Ouyang Che looked calm and fearless.

looked at the performance of Chen Dong and Ouyang Che with the corner of his eye, and then Li Yan said to Han Shizhong and Wu Jie: "You two have good martial arts, and you have the responsibility that a soldier should have, I intend to let you two enter the first army to serve as the commander of a battalion each, I don't know what you two want?" ”

Li Yan not only didn't hold a grudge against them for doing something with Li Yan, but also vigorously promoted them, which made Han Shizhong and Wu Jie, who were still worried about their careers just now, not happy?

"A blessing in disguise!"

Han Shizhong and Wu Jieqi bowed and said, "Xie Dadu Governor cultivates!" ”

Li Yan looked at Chen Dong and Ouyang Che again and said, "You two dare to give direct advice, you have the style of a gentleman, go back to the Imperial Court to find Chen Gongfu to report." ”

Chen Dong and Ouyang Che were also overjoyed!

The official career of the children of the poor family is extremely bumpy!

With the heart of a villain, if it weren't for this, Chen Dong and Ouyang Che would not be able to take the path of advice.

Now, although Li Yan did not clearly say what level of officials the two of them were, what Li Yan personally promised could not be without rank, or even too low in rank.

You must know that Chen Dong gave up his life to resist Jin, retired the Jin soldiers, and kept the capital Tokyo Bianliang, but he only got a 37th-order (the last rank) Di Gonglang of the civil office.

Let's ask, how can Chen Dong and Ouyang Che, who have successfully entered the official career and have a very good starting point, not be happy?

In fact, this is also one of the reasons why these students are willing to come to this land-easy to get ahead.

However, Chen Dong and Ouyang Che had good bones, although they were excited, they still gave Li Yan a very standard salute, and said in unison: "Thank you, Governor!" ”
