Chapter Thirty-Eight: General Poliao
Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji hurriedly asked, "What is a dozen and a pull?" ”
Li Gang said: "Shengshang, Fang La of Jiangnan called himself 'Holy Prince', established a puppet dynasty, openly rebelled, and his sin was unforgivable. Such people must be punished severely to set an example! However, Shi Jin in Shandong has never done anything to rob homes and rob houses and harm the people. Even if he now occupies the land of the Seven States, he has never raised the banner of rebellion. The minister thought that although Shi Jin was a thief, he was still interested in the court. The minister also heard that Shi Jin's thief had intended to submit to him, but there were villains in the court who were secretly haunting them, intending to divide and suppress them. This Shi Jinyi Bo Yuntian, and many leaders and brothers, like compatriots, they will never be separated and separated, although they are reluctant to separate. So in the end, Shi Jin didn't agree to surrender! Shengshang, Weichen implored Shengshang to plan a state so that Shi Jin and many other brothers would have a place to stay. As long as Shi Jin surrenders, the threat of Shandong will be lifted, and then the army of Lord Tong Shuxiang can also go south to participate in the extermination of Fang La's traitors. As long as these two traitors are pacified, the Liao State and Western Xia see that the civil strife in our Great Song Dynasty has been settled, and the army will be transferred back. They don't dare to make unreasonable demands again! ”
Wu Yong followed Bi Sheng to Beijing and lobbied around. Among them, there are many Qing officials like Li Gang and Su Yuanjing.
Although Li Gang was dissatisfied with Tong Guan, if he was usually in peace, he would definitely not agree to recruit such a thief as An Shijin. But now that the Great Song Dynasty is worried about internal and external troubles, Li Gang is not a stubborn person. He heard Wu Yong's conditions and accepted them.
Therefore, at this court meeting, Li Gang advocated Zhao'an.
Li Gang felt that recruiting An Shijin was beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty, but people from Wang Hao's faction didn't think so.
The relationship between Liang Shicheng, the eunuch behind Wang Hao, and Yang Jian is better than Tong Guan.
Tong Guan relied on the emperor's favor and military exploits. However, he is arrogant and domineering, and the selection of generals and officials is arranged by his own cronies. At the same time, he distributed his wealth widely, and he used his money to pay from the concubines and concubines in the harem, and many eunuchs worshiped under his door. This seriously affected the interests of the two eunuchs, Yang Jian and Liang Shicheng.
Yang Jian and Liang Shicheng were naturally very dissatisfied with Tong Guan.
It's just that he has military merits and can help the emperor supervise the army. In the past, even if Yang Jian and Liang Shicheng were dissatisfied, they were helpless against him.
Now he was finally defeated and lost the favor of the saint.
If Shi Jin is recruited, Tong Guan will have a reason to go south to participate in the extermination of Fang La, and then he may be able to regain the reuse of the saint.
It took a lot of effort for Yang Jian to gain the status of serving as the overseer of the East Road, but he wanted to take the opportunity to make great contributions so as to cut off all the foundations of Tong Guan.
What's more, Yang Jian recently because of the fall of Hangzhou City, although the main responsibility was put on Guo Zhongxun, but he also lost Zhao Ji's trust in the end.
In this case, he was even more reluctant to see Shi Jin being recruited and Tong Guanneng leading the troops south.
As soon as Li Gang's words fell, Wang Hao shouted: "Holy can't! Shi Jin's gang are all treacherous and cunning people, if the saint is credulous. When the army that resisted this gang of thieves was transferred to Jiangnan, they repented and rebelled. Wouldn't it be even more dangerous if there was no army to resist it? O Holy See! ”
For his opponent will be opposed, Tong Guan is ready again.
Bi Sheng, the former Flying Tiger general, stood up and arched his hand and said: "Qi Qi Sheng, Tong Shuxiang led his troops to desperately block Shi Jin's westward path. Now that the thieves saw that they could not continue to fight, they had sent messengers to ask the Holy Lord to surrender. Shi Jin thief Kou said that as long as the saint is willing to forgive his sins. In order to show loyalty to the Holy Lord, to the imperial court. After he is willing to surrender, he will lead his troops and horses to attack the Liao State! Tong Shu Xiang does not care about the judgment, I implore the Holy God to discern it! ”
Hearing Bi Sheng say that Shi Jin's thief was willing to lead troops to attack the Liao State, it immediately caused an uproar in the court.
At the beginning, when many civil officials heard Wang Hao's words, they still felt that what he said made sense.
If Shi Jin's gang of thieves tried to delay the army, they wanted to use this to alleviate the concerns of the imperial court. When the imperial army was sent to suppress Jiangnan, and they suddenly sent troops, such a Great Song Dynasty would be really dangerous.
But now I heard that the thief Shi Jin was willing to lead his troops to attack the Liao State, which surprised many officials, and also lowered their suspicion of Shi Jin, a gang of thieves.
Everyone is willing to attack the powerful Liao State, where is there any reason to question people's loyalty.
You must know that the Liao State has nearly 700,000 elite soldiers and strong generals, and Shi Jin's gang of thieves only has 50,000 horses.
Just this point of soldiers and horses to fight the Liao State, what is the difference between that and sending it to death?
It seems that these thieves really want to submit to the imperial court.
In vain, Shi Jin has always claimed to be loyal and righteous, but in fact, he is just a treacherous villain. He wanted to use his brother's blood to show his loyalty to the Holy Lord and gain high officials.
When other civil officials were still about to discuss, Su Yuanjing immediately stood up and said: "Holy Lord, now the Western Xia and Liao countries have raised more than 100,000 troops to the border, endangering the safety of my Great Song Dynasty. Now that Shi Jin and the other thieves are willing to surrender, it is just right for him to lead his generals to attack Liao. First, he can let Tong Shuxiang's troops go south and exterminate Fang La's group as soon as possible. Second, it is also good to reduce the harm of the Liao State to our Great Song Dynasty. This minister is foolish, beg for the Holy Certificate! ”
Cai Jing, who has been in conflict with him since Tong Guan became the prime minister, also stood up and said at this time: "Shengshang, the imperial court has been using troops for a long time, and now it is beyond its means, so it can only suspend the construction of Gen Yu. Wait for the thieves to be bulldozed in the future, and the court will have more than enough, and then continue to build! ”
Cai Jing was also dissatisfied with Tong Guan's growing power, but Tong Guan's power was more in the army. However, Liang Shicheng, Yang Jian, and Wang Hao have already put their hands into the court by taking advantage of the rebellion of Fang La and Shi Jin.
This makes the powerful minister Cai Jing where to live!
Compared with Tong Guan, Cai Jing was even more afraid of having Liang Shicheng and Yang Jian under Wang Hao and others in the imperial court.
Cai Jing can go through several ups and downs, but he can still gain the emperor's favor, relying on his scheming and being good at figuring out Zhao Ji's thoughts.
When he heard that the court was so nervous that even his beloved Gen Yu had to stop, it was like the last straw that crushed the camel.
Zhao Ji finally made up his mind, "They are all slanderers, misleading the country, jealous of the virtuous, blocking the virtuous road, embellishment, and ruining the major affairs of the court!" Since Shi Jin is still loyal to my Great Song Dynasty and is willing to serve the imperial court, how can I ignore it. The order went down to pardon Shi Jin's crimes and avoid his questioning. In order to avoid their suspicions, they can boldly and confidently attack the Liao State. I specially gave Shi Jin as the general of Poliao, Wu Yong as the governor of Dengzhou, and Sun Li as the commander of Dengzhou. Sent to stay in Yuanjing's pro-edict and went to the camp to start reading! ”
Hearing Emperor Daojun's will, Cai Jing, Su Yuanjing, Li Gang, Bi Sheng and others hurriedly bowed down and said, "Holy Mingcha!" ”
