Song Huizong yelled: "Where are Tong Guan and Tan Zhen? ”

Tong Guan and Tan Zhi stood up from the crowd in a panic, Zhao Gou glanced at Tong Guan, only to feel that he was not as majestic as before, his face was pale, and he was powerless as if he was about to die. Tong Guan and Tan Zhi are also aggrieved, and they have bitter words, they used to be in the limelight, showing off their might, calling for wind and rain in the court, even Song Huizong did not dare to be angry with them, so he could only appease.

Since Gao Yu got up quickly, Tong Guan, Tan Zhi and others have become poorer and poorer, and they are not treated by Gao Yu. The two of them were once the same as Cai Jing, both of them were rebellious ministers and thieves, and Song Huizong eradicated Cai Jing's power in the capital with lightning speed, and even some of his confidants were excluded, and they were not allowed to stay in the capital as officials.

Tong Guan and Tan Zhi finally survived the difficult period and ushered in the second peak of their lives, but such a thing happened, which made the two of them complain. Moreover, the two of them already knew the reason for Song Huizong's anger, everything was caused by their own greed, and they regretted not being at the beginning.

Song Huizong said coldly: "Look at the good things you two have done in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, give me a good look, and see it clearly, I originally wanted to appoint the two of you again, but I never thought that you would be so wolf-hearted, and let you enter Beijing in vain, and you should be allowed to stay in Jiangsu and Zhejiang." ”

Tong Guan and Tan Zhi hurriedly knelt on the ground crying and shouting, shouting: "The emperor spares his life!" The emperor spares his life! ……”

"Spare your life? I have spared your lives, and what face do you have to face those dead generals, and what face do you have to face the people of the world? Finally, there is no more strife in the world, and it is because of the two of you who are greedy for pleasure that such a big thing has been caused. If it weren't for the fact that you only have one head, I would have given you a thousand cuts. ”

Song Huizong was annoyed and angry, and sighed: "I knew that this was the result, I should have abolished those harsh taxes as soon as possible, I am really ashamed of the people of the world and the ancestors!" If it is abolished as soon as possible, there will be no civil strife one after another, and the people will rise up one after another, oppose the imperial court, and become my enemy! ”

"Come on, pull the two of them out and put them to death!"

When Tong Guan and Tan Zhi heard that Zhao Ji had executed them Ling Chi, the whole person was stunned, their heads were dizzy, they were restless, and they hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, saying, "The emperor spares his life!" Your Majesty, there has been hard work without merit over the years, for the sake of the loyalty of the old ministers, please ask the emperor to spare the lives of the ministers! The Emperor ......"

Song Huizong was upset when he heard this, and roared angrily: "I'm still stunned, pull it out and cut it!" ”

The guards hurriedly went up, took off Tong Guan and Tan Zhen's court clothes, took off their official hats, and really came and left naked. Tong Guan and Tan Zhi saw that Song Huizong was really heartbroken and wanted their lives, no matter how much they screamed and begged for mercy, it was useless, and the whole person was stunned, fainted directly, and was dragged away by the guards.

"Ahh ……”

After a while, the ministers heard the heart-rending screams of Tong Guan and Tan Zhi, where did they remember what they begged for mercy, and the pain on their bodies was far greater than everything. The two of them also dreamed that there would be such a day, once with infinite scenery, and today they were reduced to being executed by Ling Chi, which is really the reincarnation of cause and effect, and it is not that the time has not come.

The sins of heaven are forgivable, but the sins of oneself cannot be lived.

Song Huizong didn't say the reason, and directly executed the two of them on the spot, the ministers had their own thoughts, and Zhao Gou and others were secretly happy and applauded; Gao Yu and the others were silent and trembling. When they hear the miserable sound, they think of themselves and wonder if this will happen someday.

Zhao Ji executed Tong Guan and Tan Zhi and felt much more comfortable, but there was still some anger on his face, and he said in a low voice: "Do you Aiqing know why I am so angry? ”

All the ministers bowed down and replied: "The ministers don't know! ”

"You don't know it, and I don't want you." Song Huizong said, "Tong Guan and Tan Zhi were sent by me to them to Jiangsu and Zhejiang as officials, but I didn't expect the two of them to fill their own pockets, do whatever they want in the jurisdiction in the name of me, collect the people's fat, and build their own mansions, which are comparable to the luxury of the imperial palace." ”

"I love the Flower Stone Compendium, and I know that the landscape of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is picturesque, and I once issued a holy decree ordering the people to contribute the Flower Stone Compendium, and built a forest garden on a large scale, which is my fault. If it weren't for their selfish desires to be known, it would not have aroused the anger of the people, he Tong Guan was the envoy of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Tan Zhi was the envoy of the Liangzhejiang Road, he actually bullied the people without me, and imposed taxes and servitude, and finally forced the local people to gather to rebel. ”

Song Jiang and the others showed embarrassment, they knew that Song Huizong was not talking about themselves, and they still felt a little hot on their faces, so they lowered their heads. Song Huizong saw the faces of Song Jiang and the others, and he didn't explain, he didn't have this thought, and continued: "There is actually a rebel army in the land under their jurisdiction, and the leader of this army and thieves actually pretends to be a 'Heavenly Talisman' and proclaims himself a 'Holy Prince', if he is a 'Holy Father', then who am I?" ”

"Song Aiqing also gathered a crowd to revolt on Liangshan, I sent an envoy to Zhao'an, and also sent an envoy to let him serve the Great Song Dynasty, I never thought that this person would not only kill the messenger who sent the letter, but also wrote a letter by himself, saying that I was mediocre, arrogant and lascivious, and unworthy of being called the king of a country, so that I would give up the throne and hand over the throne to this person."

"At first, I listened to the two of them, thinking that the matter had been taken care of. The real result was that they quietly fled back to the capital so as not to harm the pond fish. In addition, the rebels have captured dozens of cities in our Great Song Dynasty, and I am still in the dark, even the officials such as Chen Jian, the envoy of the Liangzhejiang Road, and Zhao Yue, the envoy of Lian Yue, have all been beheaded for public display, and the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions have fallen into the hands of thieves. ”

"The rebels have gathered millions of people, and this guy has made wild words, telling me to abdicate as soon as possible to make way for Xian, so as not to fight again. If he doesn't give way, he will kill him in Bianjing City and take my head! Ha ha! …… He is the first person in the rebels to have such courage, and it is also the first time that I have issued an order to kill someone without mercy, and it is difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart if this person does not die. ”

Everyone was silent, and they knew why Song Huizong was so angry, and anyone would be angry about this. Moreover, Song Huizong is still the king of a country, and it is natural that he will be murderous. In his own country, he was so ridiculed by his subjects, and even more ridiculed, he simply didn't take him seriously, such a shame and humiliation, no man can bear it, not to mention that he is still the king of a country.

Song Huizong shouted; "I want them all to die, and all the participants, except for the old and weak, women, children, soldiers, etc., as long as they are above the rank of general, and those who are unwilling to surrender will be killed. As for the thief leader, there is no forgiveness for killing him, I want to destroy his nine clans, who is the commander in this battle, and go to conquer this thief leader? ”

The ministers of the court and the central government were silent, no one dared to be sure of victory, the enemy had a million troops, and dozens of cities were broken in a row, and the area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang became his jurisdiction, and the Song Dynasty was evenly matched, and even faintly surpassed. Moreover, Song Huizong continued: "This time only victory is allowed and defeat is not allowed, the loser comes to see him, and the winner will be rewarded, who dares to go?" ”

The ministers of the DPRK and China were still silent, and none of them dared to stand up. Even in the face of high-ranking officials, they put their lives in front, maybe they are blessed or not, and everyone can't help but hesitate. However, Zhao Gou and Song Jiang stood up in unison and said in unison: "The minister is willing to go!" ”

Song Huizong didn't look at Zhao Gou, he knew in his heart that Zhao Gou would inevitably ask for troops, and unexpectedly, Song Jiang also stood up and wondered: "Does Song Aiqing want to go on the expedition?" Did you know that the chances of losing this battle are relatively high, but the enemy has an army of millions! ”

Song Jiang bowed and replied: "The minister knows, but what's the matter!" The minister has just accepted Zhao'an, and he is so valued by the emperor. At this time, the Great Song Dynasty was in a dilemma, and the ministers should make a contribution to it, and they did not hesitate to do so. The country is in trouble, the husband is responsible, the minister is the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and he is also an official of the imperial court, so he should do his best to be loyal to the emperor and serve the Great Song Dynasty, and dare not have the slightest carelessness. ”

Song Huizong praised: "This is a true loyal minister, I grant Aiqing's request." ”

"The minister still has something to ask for, I wonder if the emperor can agree?" Song Jiang didn't get up, but bowed down and continued.

Song Huizong was puzzled: "I don't know what happened to Aiqing?" As long as I can do it, I will do it. ”

Song Jiang replied: "The minister wants to make the king of Guangping County the commander and lead the ministers to exterminate the traitors, I wonder if the emperor can agree?" ”

Zhao Gou looked at Song Jiang dumbfounded, Song Huizong also looked at Song Jiang with a look of surprise, then looked at Zhao Gou, frowned and said, "I don't know why Aiqing wants to let the king of the county go?" ”

"The emperor doesn't know that the ministers are obedient to the court and are willing to accept Zhao'an, which is the credit of the county king. The Liangshan army led by the minister was defeated by the Song army led by the king of the county, and the army was defeated, if it were not for the mercy of the king of the county, the minister would have died in the city of Qingzhou. If the king of the county is willing to be the commander and lead us to charge into battle, he will definitely win. ”

Song Jiang replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, and Song Huizong also looked at Zhao Gou in surprise, but he did not explain it in the recital, so it was very normal for Zhao Ji not to know. When Song Jiang said this, the ministers of the DPRK and China were all surprised, they never thought that the real hero of Zhao'an this time was Zhao Gou, who won the victory by virtue of his true ability, and was not in vain.

Song Huizong glanced at Zhao Gou with some reproach, with some emotion and excitement in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Gou'er, are you willing to go?" ”

Zhao Gou hurriedly replied: "Erchen is willing to go and exterminate the traitor!" ”

"In that case, the king of Guangping County stepped forward to listen to the seal!" Song Huizong shouted, Zhao Gou hurriedly bowed down to listen to the holy decree, only to see Zhao Ji solemnly said: "Spread my will: The king of Guangping County is crowned as the general of the hussars and the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and any army of the Great Song Dynasty must be played by me, and it can be dispatched at will." This time, I want to exhaust the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty, vow to exterminate the traitors, and return my rivers and mountains, I have to watch him be beheaded with my own eyes to feel at ease, do you know? ”

Zhao Gou was taken aback, and hurriedly replied: "Erchen takes the order!" ”
