Chapter 764: The Death of the Six Thieves

In the Taiji Palace in Chang'an City, there are 10,000 palaces, although it is not as good as when the Tang Dynasty was prosperous, but it is extremely famous in the land of Guanzhong, which is where Li Jing's other palace is located. In the sixth year of Xuanhe, Li Jing and his concubines and children will spend here, which is the last year of Emperor Zhao Ji of the Great Song Dynasty.

Taiji Palace still preserves the original appearance of the previous dynasty, although it is only partially restored, but it is more than enough for Li Jing's family to live in it. Coupled with Li Jingxuanhe's six years of dominating the world this time, a series of measures have made Li Jing famous, coupled with Zhao Song's incompetence, many people in the world know that Zhao Song is just a river and a sun, and it can't be compared with Li Jing at all.

The land of Guanzhong in the past has gradually become prosperous, the streets of Chang'an are rubbing shoulders, there are countless pedestrians, even if it is a heavy snowfall, it has not weakened the prosperity in the market, there is no money to go home for the New Year, the New Year is approaching, the people have worked hard for a year, and at this time they can't help but buy some things that they are reluctant to buy on weekdays, so as to reward themselves.

From time to time on the street, I saw one or two boys running on the street, bursts of laughter came out of their mouths, although the people in the world were still relatively poor at this time, but in this Chang'an City, the smiles on the faces of the people were more. That is, in Chang'an City, under the rule of Li Jing, at this time in Hebei, Bianjing and other places, the people were living in dire straits.

On December 13 of the sixth year of Xuanhe, Wanyan Zonghan and Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, fought in Baigou, hundreds of thousands of troops were broken by Wanyan Zonghan, Zhao Kai and Tong Guan fled in embarrassment, and the entire land of Hebei, except for the righteous army in various places, there was no longer a formed Great Song army. Jin people scouts ride everywhere, the land of Hebei is a piece, the people are precarious, and the people are not happy.

And the same is true in Bianjing, although there is no war, but the poverty of the entire Bianjing city is well known, within a year, up to the rich, down to the ordinary people, were plundered once, money and grain lost a lot, where can this year be good. Those rich people are better, but the people below are not having a good time.

If it was in the past, Zhao Ji was in power, maybe he would have let people give some benefits to those elderly people, but now the court has no such thoughts, on the one hand, the court spends too much today, whether it is for Li Jing or because of the Jin people, etc., the imperial court treasury is empty, and Zhao Huan does not have the ability to do this kind of thing, of course, more importantly, Zhao Ji is back. made Zhao Huan even less inclined to do all this.

The Daojun Emperor, who had been in Jiangnan for more than a month, finally returned, and on the second day after the Jin people left Bianjing, Zhao Ji began to set off, starting from Zhenjiang and coming towards Bianjing, and it is estimated that he will be able to rush to the palace before the year.

If it was just that the emperor came back and paid some back, even if Zhao Huan was a little dissatisfied in his heart, he wouldn't say anything, the key was that Zhao Ji would come back by himself, but he also made a holy decree on the way to recall Zhao Kai in Hebei and let him enter Beijing, which made Zhao Huan dissatisfied. Now that he is the emperor, where is Zhao Ji qualified to recall Zhao Kai, the enemy.

"Zheng Qing, this time the emperor has returned?" In the main hall, Zhao Huan's face was gloomy, walking around the hall, Zheng Juzhong sat on the side, his face was very calm, and his old right hand touched his beard from time to time, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Seize power, Emperor Daojun is here to seize power." Zheng Juzhong said without hesitation: "If the official family did not defeat the Jin people at the beginning, then the Daojun Emperor would be able to re-establish a court in Jiangnan, and if the Jin people were defeated, the Daojun Emperor would be able to come back and regain power, after all, the official family had just ascended the throne, and there were still many people in the court who thought about the majesty of the Daojun Emperor and would not be loyal to the official family." ”

"What should I do?" Zhao Huan's eyes flashed with murderous intent, at the beginning, he was still a little worried in his heart, for fear that the Jin people would break through Bianjing City, and now that the Jin people had retreated, the thing that threatened his throne would not exist, and he could enjoy the glory and wealth with peace of mind, but Zhao Ji came back, and even thought about abolishing his throne, how could Zhao Huan bear it? Even if the other party is his father, how can the throne be given to someone else?

Zheng Juzhong glanced at Zhao Huan, and at a glance he took a fancy to the murderous intention, his face was stunned for a moment, and finally said: "Emperor Taishang is His Majesty's father, how can a father harm his own son, but Emperor Daojun is a little old, his ears are soft, and there are a few traitors around him, and he can confuse Emperor Daojun by saying a few words casually." ”

Zheng Juzhong didn't say any more, but Zhao Huan's eyes lit up, Zheng Juzhong didn't say it carefully, but Zhao Huan knew the meaning, Zhao Ji was Emperor Daojun, the emperor's father, naturally he couldn't be offended, but the people around Emperor Daojun were different, and they could be disposed of casually. Who do you think Zhao Ji is around? Cai Jing, Wang Hao, Yang Jian, etc. were all traitors of the imperial court.

Killing these people can not only get the reputation of Shengming and be praised by the world, but more importantly, it can also break Zhao Ji's arm, so that he can be a prince with peace of mind, and it is also a good thing to participate in Zen and enlightenment when he is fine.

"Who's the start?" Zhao Huan couldn't help but ask.

"Cai Jing begins." Zheng Juzhong said without thinking. Throughout the Huizong Dynasty, Cai Jing rose and fell, served as prime minister four times, and controlled the government for 17 years, which is very rare throughout the ages. Zheng Juzhong wants to control the government, Cai Jing is a hurdle that can't be crossed, who let Cai Jing have countless protégés in the court, this time he just borrowed Zhao Huan's hand to get rid of Cai Jing, so that he can control the government and kill two birds with one stone.

"Spread the order to Cai Jing and supervise Jiankang as a secretary." Zhao Huan thought about it and quickly made a decision, although it was not clear, but everyone knew that this was the first step to demote Cai Jing to the Jingshi, and soon, a more severe punishment would come.

"Your Majesty." Zheng Juzhong immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"There are also Yang Jian, Tong Guan, Wang Hao, etc., none of them can escape." Zhao Huan gritted his teeth and said. Who let these people be Zhao Ji's henchmen! For the sake of the throne, what can father and son kill each other?

"Your Majesty, these people are all among the six thieves in the imperial court, and the people are very angry, Your Majesty will definitely be appreciated by the people of the world if they get rid of these moths." Zheng Juzhong hesitated for a while, and then said: "It's just that there is one more person among the six thieves, although this person has some merits, but after all, he has committed public anger, and please ask Your Majesty to investigate." ”

"Liang Shicheng once helped me sit on the throne, at this time?" Zhao Huan hesitated for a while.

"Even if he colludes with Li Jing, it is enough to behead him, I heard that this person was in charge of the six gates at the beginning, and he knew anything about the affairs of the Zhu family back then, maybe he also knew." How could Zheng Juzhong let the six thieves live, these people watched over each other, and leaving one of them was a scourge.

"Give the bar!" Zhao Huan thought of Zhu Lian, and infinite anger suddenly arose in his heart.
