Cai, Xue Ang and Lin Zi were chased and beaten; Wu Juhou and Wang Hanzhi of the Lecture Department were beaten, Wu Juhou hid in Taixue, was beaten by the students, and was seriously injured, but fortunately Zhang stopped him and was sent to the hospital for treatment......

After Zhang Yong and Cao were summoned, they answered the emperor's inquiry. After a pause, the two added: "Today's palace guard is the Guangnan Ghost Army, as well as the Hujie and Xuanyi armies who have just returned from Hangzhou training. Your Majesty, the matter is urgent, please Your Majesty ascend the Xuande Building to comfort the hundred officials. ”

Song Huizong was timid, let him climb the Xuande Tower to preach comfort, this was simply to let him jump into the river, the emperor shook his head like a rattle, and asked in fear: "Taiwei Zhang, Taiwei Cao, the ghost army does not listen to the dispatch, do they want to be like the Vermilion Bird Army, and there will be another palace mutiny?" ”

Zhang Yong and Cao shook their heads: "That's not enough, last time Zhao Liren punished the Vermilion Bird Army severely, those Vermilion Bird Army soldiers are still serving overseas, so the ghost army still doesn't dare to mutiny, not to mention that Gao Yu and Gao Taiwei also went, others don't give face, Gao Taiwei and Zhao Liren are friends, with him bullet pressure, the ghost army doesn't dare to make trouble, but they don't listen to the dispatch now, and there is a ghost army, Hujie and Xuanyi The two armies are bogey, plus an incense fate, and they don't dare to interfere with the hundred officials." ”

The emperor was at a loss, and Cai Jing hurriedly asked: "In addition to the two armies of Hujie and Xuanyi, which army is there within the palace walls now?" ”

ZHANG Yong, CAO Xiang. glanced at each other and smiled bitterly: "In addition to the Tiger Jie of the Sixth Army and the Fourth Army, the two armies of Konghe and Longjie have been sent to Guangnan for reorganization, and the Iron Cavalry Army has moved to Zhending. After the return of these two armies, because of their strong combat power, the three divisions of the imperial city have begun to reduce their manpower, and now the army is seriously lacking.

Besides, now transfer to other armies. The team came, I am afraid that it could not be counted on, because the combat effectiveness displayed by these three armies was really terrifying to the other armies, that is, all the troops in the capital were transferred, and they were afraid that they would not dare to fight against the ghost army, Hujie, and Xuanyi. ”

Cai Jing can still stabilize his position now, and he hurriedly sought confirmation: "The Ghost Army, Hujie, and Xuanyi Army, is it impossible to mutiny again?" ”

Zhang replied: "Now they just refuse to leave the palace, but they also protect the palace gate and prohibit the hundred officials from rushing in." If nothing happens, this situation can be maintained. ”

Cao Ma Cao reminded: "So. It means that military orders cannot be issued frequently at this time, and these three armies are on duty, and if they are to be removed suddenly, I am afraid that they will think that the imperial court will punish them, and then they will poke out a big basket.

Fortunately, at present, the three armies can still hold the palace gate, this can be guaranteed, please rest assured. ”

Cai Jing asked again: "These three. Military duty. How long does it take? ”

Zhang Yong replied: "Because these three armies have. Powerful combat power. Kills approachers at long range. Therefore. At present, they are on duty at important places in the palace. The rest of the armies were only on inconsequential patrol duty. It is necessary to wait for the shifts of these three armies. I'm afraid I'll have to wait for the four armies. The remaining two armies returned from Quang Nam for training. ”

The Emperor breathed a sigh of relief. chanted: "It's good to be able to guard the palace gate." It's good to be able to guard the palace gate. I expect Zhao Xianggong to live up to me. ”

Cai Jing's face was gloomy. Xin said: "You all know that Zhao Xingyuan is overseas. He lives up to you. Those soldiers were responsible. Hard. What's more. It's such a big deal. There must be no black hands behind it. Who believes? ”

There was a pause. Cai Jing asked, "Your Majesty." What to do now? ”

Song Huizong hesitated for a moment. Pluck up the courage to ask: "Is it true that the three armies of the Imperial City cannot be rebelled?" ”

Zhang Yong didn't speak, Cao Cao thought for a while, and replied: "My son Cao Sheng once told me that his teacher's best thing is organization, after the battle of Luzhi, even the prince of Luzhi claimed that the most shocking thing about the Song army was that it would not retreat to the death, even if he had achieved a breakthrough in the center, the Song army was still unhurried and orderly.

I have seen the training of the Quang Nam Ghost Army and the Hujie and Xuanyi armies, and the most distinctive feature of this army is that it is well organized, between routes, and in a low voice. I have gone around just now, and the non-commissioned officers at all levels can still effectively restrain the soldiers, and the minister dares to guarantee that although these three armies have complaints, they can still order and prohibit them, but the minister thinks that at this moment, the imperial court must focus on pacification and seek victory in stability. ”

Song Huizong breathed a long sigh of relief and replied: "That's good, that's good, so ......"

Song Huizong tilted his head to Cai Jing, and Cai Jing immediately came up with an idea: "Summoning the Ministry of Rites Shang Huang Tingjian into the palace to play right, Your Majesty, listen to what he has to say." ”

At the gate of the palace, the crowd of officials was excited, they shouted loudly with red faces and red ears, and excitedly signed the impeachment article, Huang Tingjian wrote the impeachment article only on five sheets of paper, and the signatory had already written the hundredth of the registered names.

Most of the Chinese things are very mysterious, and the mysteries are in the word "leader".

Most of the time, the Chinese's endurance for harshness, tyranny and absurd politics is very amazing, and sometimes, witnessing all kinds of strange phenomena in society, often marvel at the endurance of the parties concerned. However, as soon as the leader came out, the situation took on a new look.

However, the mystery lies in the fate of the leader, the big waves wash the sand, the front waves always die on the beach, and the back waves surpass. Throughout Chinese history, all leaders have been stepping stones to the success of others, so in Chinese history, behind every tyranny, there has been a large group of careerists, who secretly hope that someone will be the leader and thus become their stepping stone. collar

When they came out, they endured bitterly, and once the leader appeared, they were all afraid to fall behind, lest they fall behind others.

It is not without reason that once Huang Tingjian's proposal to strike the DPRK was put forward, it received an enthusiastic response. Reading people for ten years of hard work, what is the official map of entering the dynasty, but in order to "have power in hand", Cai Jing opened a lecture department, and put power above the three provinces and six ministries, and the entire national affairs are decided by him and two cronies, which is equivalent to moving the milk of hundreds of officials).|If he was dissatisfied, he lacked a leader to come out and make trouble, so Huang Tingjian raised his arms and responded in groups.

Wang Anshi's reform of the law, in fact, is a purpose, doing everything possible to attack and squeeze out the opposition in the name of changing the law, he succeeded, he struck down and squeezed out all the famous people, so that the subsequent harsh government could not create a leader. But now because of the emergence of Zhao Xing, history has changed, and the Southern Party, backed by powerful force, has stood up and shouted and has become a natural opposition, and all careerists have jumped out, colluding, conspiring, and liaising with each other. There was a boiling outside the Xuande Building, which was more lively than the vegetable market on Mahang Street.

The eunuch Yang Jian walked outside the Xuande Building in fear, and raised a sharp voice to sing: "Your Majesty has summoned, Xuanhuang Bachelor and the Imperial History Observatory have entered the palace to play the right match." ”

Entering the palace to play right, in this case entering the palace to play right, this is an incredible thing in other dynasties, Cai Jing and Song Hui Sect master and apprentice are famous untrustworthy, rebellious monarchs and ministers, in general, when the ministers hear such a call, they will inevitably think that it is the emperor who has murderous intentions and is preparing to have a Hongmen banquet - however, this is the Song Dynasty.

Huang Tingjian shouted a few. Voice, instructed everyone to put away the bullet seal, put away the title list of the bullet chapter, greeted a few familiar imperial history, and asked who was willing to enter the court together, the leaders of various parties and gangs refused to let go of this opportunity to show their faces, they rushed to be the first, after several discussions, elected several leaders, and decided that they would enter the palace to submit the chapter.

At noon, Emperor Daojun was in. Zigang Hall received the minister, Huang Tingjian was the first to come out and shouted: "Your Majesty has issued an edict to the whole country, saying that he has no prejudices against Yuanfeng and Yuanyou, and everything only depends on whether it is beneficial to the country. Anyone who harms the interests of the country, whether it is Yuanfeng or Yuanyou, will be spurned together with the people. At that time, His Majesty also issued an order, 'If you want to be upright with the Grand Duke, eliminate the friends of the party, and then change the yuan to the Yasukuni of Jianzhong.'

This move shows a kind of spirit of not being partial and partisan, and eliminating the old and replacing the new. On that day, His Majesty personally advocated the way of opening words, and the words are still in my ears. Now, Your Majesty wants to sin the ministers with his speech, and the country has no trust......"

Huang Tingjian's spearhead pointed directly. To the emperor, accusing the emperor of having no credit, which is also unimaginable in other dynasties, but in this darkest era of the Northern Song Dynasty, the most absurd emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, Song Huizong, had to endure it. Cai Jing, the first traitor of the Northern Song Dynasty, could only be patient and listened to Huang Tingjian's spitting.

Huang Tingjian quoted scriptures and classics. and talked about it, criticized Tong Guan and other eunuchs and Cai Jing and others for their misdeeds, and kept talking about the twilight clouds. Huizong was so hungry that he couldn't stand it, he stood up and said as he walked: "Let's come here today, I'm hungry, I'll listen to you again when I find a chance." ”

The reason why the emperor refused. Loose mouth, because the living Lang Deng Xunwu's persuasion is from his worldview, his father and brother have been harming the country for two generations, if he does not inherit the legacy of his father and brother and continue to harm the country, it is unfilial piety, and "unfilial piety" is the biggest crime in the Confucian worldview, and the little emperor is not willing to give in easily.

But the little emperor wants to go, how can he go. Yes. Huang Tingjian stepped forward and grabbed the emperor's clothes, resolutely refusing to let him go, and tore his clothes so much that he tore them. Huizong shouted: "Qing has something to say, my clothes have been torn by you." ”

Huang Tingjian replied unceremoniously: "Your Majesty does not hesitate to tear your clothes apart, how can I repay Your Majesty with broken bones, courtier!" ”

Huizong was helpless and replied: "With such a bold minister, I have nothing to worry about." ”

Leaning slightly, the emperor's attendants came over to change clothes for Huizong, and Song Huizong reluctantly replied: "Keep it for me, and use it to commend honest and disciplined ministers in the future." ”

Song Huizong was fooling, he did not answer Huang Tingjian's impeachment positively, but praised Huang Tingjian for his integrity and integrity. Huang Tingjian was unmoved, stood up, and scolded in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, please make a decision early, I am afraid that it will be too late." ”

Cai Jing was pondering Huang Tingjian's sentence of "too late to be afraid", and a eunuch staggered into the main hall and reported loudly: "Your Majesty, Zhao Xianggong of the Nanyang Affairs Bureau has arrived in Yangzhou, and Lu Yu, the commander of the Yangzhou Water Infantry Army, has come to report, and Zhao Xiang led 5,000 musketeers with the ship to occupy the Yangzhou arsenal and take over the military and political affairs of Yangzhou." ”

Song Huizong was still happy, and another eunuch came to report: "Official, Nanyang Affairs Bureau Shuai Fan Shuai Supervisor led the victorious army, entered Shunbao Village, took over the defense of Shunbao Village, Zhending Mansion stayed behind to report, Shuai Jian Si led a thousand victorious divisions, and tomorrow will enter Zhending." ”

Song Huizong said casually: "Lord Huang, your junior brother has won the battle again, and he is carrying a Goryeo tribute envoy into the court to claim the title. Look, my Da Song Dynasty is now changing the weather, and it is difficult to discuss anything. According to the emperor and Song Dynasty, I am now rich, and I ......"

When Song Huizong said this, he suddenly heard a gurgling chair, he looked up and followed the source of the sound, and found that it was Cai Jing who made the sound.

Cai Jing's whole body was trembling, and this tremor came from his body and was not under his control.

Originally, Cai Jing's new measures, although they were said to inherit the ambition of his father-in-law Wang Anshi, were actually faintly aimed at Zhao Xing.

When Cai Jing and Zhao Xing first met, Zhao Xing was a subordinate official, and in the face of Cai Jing, a celebrity, he had a humble attitude.

However, he developed a self-centered will. Now, his role as Prime Minister TT is up to him, but among the local forces, the most important one is Zhao Xing.

As Zhao Xing made one after another the merits of expanding the territory, Cai Jing became more and more worried that Zhao Xing's merits would overshadow him and replace him, and at present, Zhao Xing does have such a trend, and his merits have become so great that the imperial court cannot reward them. Cai Jing suppressed repeatedly, but he still couldn't suppress Zhao Xing's momentum.

Get up, Cai Jing is also an extremely smart person, he implements his new ideas step by step, repeatedly tests Zhao Xing's bottom line, every step of the action, the final target is still aimed at Zhao Xing, if Zhao Xing does not fight back now, his next target is to target Yuan You's followers, such as Zhao Xing's teacher Su Dongpo and others - just like normal history.

However, Zhao Xing counterattacked, Zhao Xing counterattacked before he had set it up, and the counterattack was so swift.

Because Zhao Xing has always maintained a low attitude in front of Cai Jing, it seems that in order to make room for him, he does not hesitate to go to the local place to serve as a magistrate. Cai Jing despised Zhao Xing from the bottom of his heart, and he believed that this famous person who was kind to his friends could be replaced, ravaged, and taken advantage of. At this moment, he suddenly understood that he was in the wrong ring and came to a ring that did not belong to his kilogram class.

Cai Jing's trembling made . Song Huizong suddenly realized, he jumped up and muttered, "Why ...... again?"

Cai Jing is like a demon in the middle, with Xiang. Sister-in-law Lin's posture chattered: "I was wrong, I originally planned to build Lanzhou, Zhengzhou, Caozhou, and Gongzhou as the four auxiliaries, and stationed 20,000 troops in various places to defend the capital division, but the situation was busy, and it was too late to start, I was wrong." ”

Cao looked at Cai Jing with pity, opened the corners of his mouth and sneered. These two people know that Zhao Xing's subordinate soldiers dispatched a thousand people, that is, a force to destroy the country and destroy the clan, and now Zhao Xingfa has brought tens of thousands of people as if he was ruthless, and he clearly made a posture of breaking the kettle and sinking the boat, even if Cai Jing set up four auxiliaries of Lanzhou, Zhengzhou, Caozhou, and Gongzhou, what is the use.

Zhang Yong, Cao's speculation. is basically in line with the facts, in real history, the four auxiliaries set up by Cai Jing specially sent his relatives to be county guards. In order to win the hearts of the army, he also increased the monthly money of the jailers from 500 to 5,000. But in front of the Jurchens, it didn't even play the role of paper, so that the Jurchens roared down and arrived in the capital. This also shows that no one is willing to shed blood on a government that has lost its credibility.

No, there are 80,000 people in the four auxiliaries. Guard, in the face of aggression there is no one who resists.

At this time, it was already late at night, Yangzhou Wharf, and Zhao Xing's flagship was slowly docking. The name of his flagship is extremely unconventional, and traditionally, such a general's boat should be named an ancient divine beast to demonstrate its fierceness. But Zhao Xing's flagship was named "Apple".

The Apple docked on the Yangzhou wharf. The wharf is still the naval wharf built by Zhao Xing at the beginning, this wharf seemed to be quite tall at the time, and it could directly dock a thousand large ships, but now it seems a bit outdated, because the Apple is a large ship of two thousand materials, and the deck is far higher than the embankment of the wharf.

Zhao Xing climbed the bridge from the high deck and walked down the dock, and the person who greeted him on the dock was Lu Yu, the commander of the Yangzhou Water Infantry Army.

The commander is already the highest-ranking military attache in Yangzhou, and if he climbs up, he must seek to be transferred out of Yangzhou, because Yangzhou does not have a higher-level military attache establishment. Lu Yu has worked hard in recent years, with only one purpose, to maintain Yangzhou's status. Because according to the system left by Zhao Xing, the military attache in Yangzhou is too rich, and the richness makes the surrounding states and counties feel jealous.

Seeing his former Shangguan, Lu Yu bowed like a lobster, his attitude was deferential, and his words were humble: "The boss came to Yangzhou today, Lu and other old colleagues are very honored, we have set up a banquet in Changchun Building, waiting for the arrival of the old Jingluo."

”

Lu Yu is insane, Zhao Xing is not a strategy in Yangzhou, he actually uses the strategy to show intimacy. Zhao Xing glanced at Lu Yu, nodded and said: "I remember you, Lu Tizhi, you also took the lead in exterminating the bandits that day, how come more than ten years have passed, and you are still a small commander." ”

Lu Yu sneered, the moment he came to greet Zhao Xing on the dock, he seemed to have a split personality, the half of the personality loyal to the imperial court urgently transmitted the news of Zhao Xing's arrival to the imperial court, and the half of the personality loyal to the old leader obediently obeyed the orders of Zhao Xing's vanguard, handed over the military talisman, handed over the Yangzhou arsenal, and opened the door of the Yangzhou Navy Water Village to welcome Zhao Xing.

For Zhao Xing's ridicule, he had nothing to say, he couldn't say that the Yangzhou Navy was too oily, and I was reluctant to leave, so he could only laugh. Fortunately, Zhao Xing did not pursue it, and he immediately gave an order: "Promulgate the states with my 'Tongzhongmen Pingzhang Military and State Affairs' seal, and issue an order to abolish the Trade Law and the Mutated Salt Money Law." ”

Lu Yu didn't blink, nodded again and again, Zhao Xing glanced at Lu Yu behind Lu Yu There was a team of civil officials, one of the civil officials wearing the official uniform of Zhizhou was still struggling, but after hearing Zhao Xing's order, he didn't move, standing there quietly, Zhao Xing's eyes rolled, guessing the identity of the other party, but he didn't have time to greet the other party now, and immediately ordered: "Hand over the army in your hands, seal the arsenal, and the three armies on the ground of Yangzhou will be under my command from now on." ”
