Chapter 726: The Dust Has Settled

"Your Majesty Shengming, Queen Mother Shengming" Many students smiled and gave a serious salute, and Chai Keyan happily accepted it. At this point, the biggest stone in her heart has fallen, it seems that she has made the right move, so don't Zhao Kai and Zhao Ji just want to convict Tong Guan, very good, I will convict Tong Guan first, and see who dares to make irresponsible remarks.

"Benhou and the official family know everyone's thoughts, a few days ago, Benhou has discussed with Li Niangzi of the Chu Palace, and now it is an eventful time, Bianliang should be safe, and there must be no more chaos. The Jurchen barbarians are still on the north bank of the Yellow River, and we will be in chaos first, wouldn't it give people a chance to take advantage of it? Chai Keyan's words are interesting, he only said that he had reached an agreement with the people of the Chu Palace, and as for the specific content of the agreement, Chen Dong and the others were secretly frightened. Could it be that Mrs. Li of the Chu Palace's Mansion also meant to protect Tong Guan, or did the Cheshire Lord deliberately say so, which has achieved the purpose of deceiving people?

Whether Chai Keyan is a lie or not, it really can't be verified, and he can only wait for what happens in the future. At this point, there was no need for the students and the people who had come with them to stay, and they dispersed.

The Tai students made a disturbance, which had a great impact on Bianliang City, and the matter quickly spread to the palace of the king of Chu. After getting the news from the dark hall, Zhilan found the teacher angrily, "Lady, the county lord is really too deceitful, when did we say that we wanted to protect Tong Guan, that Tong Guan has done a lot of evil, protect him, isn't it bad for His Highness's reputation." ”

After listening to the whole story, the master pursed his lips and smiled, "Okay, sister, don't be angry, our county lord is used to being cautious, even if we go to her now." She just said that she would maintain the stability of Bianliang. Never mind. Don't worry about that. You have someone send a letter to General Niu and ask him to react earlier, but you can't let Song Jiang ask for Bianliang City. ”

"Hmm" Zhilan was just angry, she really went to the Cheshire Lord to theorize, she didn't have the guts, after all, the Cheshire Lord had such a relationship with His Royal Highness, she had to think about it, not to mention that Chai Keyan raised His Highness's child.

Mid-February. The city of Zhengzhou is full of spring, and the cold spring season is accompanied by some warm days. A few days ago, Niu Gao had already led a large army into Zhengzhou City, and Zhengzhou Mansion Yin ran to Jiangnan with a family without even letting out a fart, so it can be said that it was effortless to take Zhengzhou. Now Niu Gao is very idle, he is waiting for the next order, stationed in Zhengzhou, can go north at any time to support the soldiers and horses of Taiyuan Prefecture, and at the same time can take care of Tokyo Bianliang City. Of course, Niu Gao stationed the army here. It was not to prevent the Jurchens from attacking Bianliang City, but to protect the people in the city. There is a large army here, and the Jurchens do not dare to do anything to the Chu Palace, if something happens, they can also respond to the dark hall in time and take the two little princes out.

"Report, big marshal, Bianliang City urgent" A pro-soldier strode in, the voice sounded very urgent, Niu Gao looked serious, stretched out his hand to take the urgent report and looked at it, pondered for a moment, and ordered, "General Shi, in the afternoon, you will bring 10,000 elite soldiers to be stationed thirty miles east of Zhengzhou, if Song Jiang's department is approaching Bianliang, your department must also take action, if Song Jiang does not come, you will not move." ”

"Oh" Shi Bao took the order and left, leaving a Wu Song a little unable to sit still, the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong participated in the battle of Tubo, the soldiers and horses of Yunzhong Mansion often conquered Mongolia and Siberia, and the soldiers and horses of Luoyang City were idle, in the words of General Niu, guarding Luoyang City, in addition to protecting the little lady of the Yang family, the rest was to see Luoyang Peony.

"Dashuai, there is no such thing as a general?"

"Why should General Wu be anxious, sooner or later the Jurchens will have to go south, are they still afraid that there will be no battle to fight? Wait patiently for a few days, it is estimated that it will not be long before you and my brother can show their strength! "Niu Gao has also been depressed for a long time, guarding the prosperous Luoyang City, life is good, but the body will rust. The old general Hu Yanqing complained a lot about this, no, His Royal Highness had an order to transfer troops, and immediately rushed to Mengzhou, saying that he wanted to rush to Taiyuan Mansion as soon as possible, which shows how much Luoyang soldiers and horses want to fight.

The Dingguo army moved very quickly, and Niu Gao had just given the order, that is, half an hour, Shi Bao led the army to appear in Baisha Town, east of Zhengzhou. The Dingguo Army mobilized its troops and horses like this, and the first person who was uneasy must be Song Jiang, who had just left Yingtianfu. Outside Ningling City, Song Jiang's more than 30,000 soldiers and horses were stationed, and Song Jiang himself was sitting in the county government with his brows furrowed, even Wu Yong, who had always been scheming, was at a loss. The Dingguo army is too strong, so strong that the people of Liangshan can't compete with it, in fact, in the face of strong forces, any conspiracy and trickery seem so weak. Now the Dingguo Army only needs to be stationed in Baisha Town without moving, and it can look at the overall situation and be invincible. Use a plan to hook the Dingguo army out of Baisha Town and break the balance near Bianliang? This is simply a hopeless thing, Niu Gao is not a fool, he knows what the choice is made at the moment.

"Brother Song, it seems that this trip to Bianliang ends here, those people in Guanzhong don't want us to meddle in Bianliang's affairs" Wu sighed silently, he saw that Song Jiang's face became gloomy and terrifying, and even a little ashamed and angry. It's also difficult for Song Jiang, he has been dormant in Yingtianfu for so long, waiting for such an opportunity, if he enters Bianliang at this time, in case he pushes His Royal Highness King Yun to the throne, it will be from the dragon's work, and the future career is bright, and things are good, but they are mixed up by the Dingguo Army.

Song Jiang has always been very tolerant, and it is still the case, he decided to endure it, as long as he waits patiently, there will definitely be a chance in the future, he is never satisfied with being a small commander. must climb up, all those who dare to stand in the way will die, Lu Junyi doesn't know how to lift, he died, and then Zhao Yougong, Zhao is against him everywhere, which is really hateful.

Baima Yanjin, the spring breeze of Baima Ferry in early spring, walking on the bank of the Yellow River, looking at the turbidity flowing away, Wanyan Zongwang suddenly squatted down and bowed a handful of water, the water is really muddy, but it is this turbid Yellow River water that gave birth to the civilization of the world. He will definitely go south, and when the army is directed at Bianliang City again, no one will be able to stop him, even Zhao Yougong. The Dajin Kingdom that came from suffering needs a hero of the world, and he wants to be this hero after he finishes his face Zongwang, he may not have the posture of the sky, but he has infinite pride in the world.

Haojie is a strong man, Hu Xia moonlight pool. Ruoxue Ling Fit. A Thousand Mountains and a Sunny Day.

It's a sunny day. Here is the waterfall rain. Since he came, he would not leave easily, and there was not only infinite wealth in Bianliang City, but also the person who had been thinking about it for a long time.

If the Great Golden Kingdom needs a hero of the world, then what about the Great Song Dynasty? The weak Song Dynasty needed a hero to stand up and step on the spring breeze, the beautiful emperor let the long skirt drag on the green grass, how long would the spring breeze blow. No one knows, but Zhao Fujin knows that Bianliang will not be quiet for long. Why is the royal family always full of intrigue, I thought that without Brother Ling, everything would be better, but now, Brother Ling is not in Bianliang, and the situation in Bianliang City is even more chaotic. Daddy and the third brother met again, what are they discussing, how can they not know?

Today's situation is ridiculous and hateful. It's better that the Jurchens didn't leave at that time. There is a secret in my heart that I have never told anyone else. She admires a man, and that man is Zhao Ling, whom she keeps hating. Brother Ling is very hateful, but he is a real man, whenever his fate is threatened, he will always open his arms to hold up a piece of the sky.

In the Great Song Dynasty, there was only one Zhao Ling, which is sad and lamentable. Her heart was already in turmoil, and she didn't know what to do in the face of this dispute within the family. How much I hope that Brother Ling is here, at least, he can control the situation.

Hero of the world, what a great title, but no one knows how many vicissitudes and blood and tears are carried behind this name.

Chapter 720 Returning to the North

The spring breeze from the south to the north, the antique Bianliang City, where the flowers are blooming, here is intriguing, when the sun rises on a new day, the ancient city wall is still calm, but the city is full of crises. Tong Guan's matter came to an end for the time being, Chai Keyan had such a superb means, which Zhao Kai and Zhao Ji never expected, and the last hope was Song Jiang's soldiers and horses, but unfortunately because the Dingguo army went east out of Zhengzhou, Song Jiang's army was also forced to stop. If there were still people who doubted Chai Keyan's alliance with the Chu Wangfu before, then now no one has doubts, if it is not an alliance, why should the Dingguo Army be so cooperative, Chai Keyan has just made the sound of an alliance here, and the Dingguo Army sent troops to threaten Song Jiang's army.

Er Li was thrown into the prison, which was tantamount to a disaster for those officials who had just taken refuge in King Yun Zhao Kai, many of them began to regret it, why did they take refuge in His Royal Highness King Yun in a hurry, if they had known that the Lord of Cheshire had formed an alliance with the Chu Palace, they should have honestly followed the official family. Hey, it's a miscalculation, everyone knows about the festival between the Lord of Cheshire and His Royal Highness the King of Qin, so no one thought that the King of Chu's Mansion would form an alliance with the Lord of Cheshire, but the fact ruthlessly slapped everyone in the face.

Zhao Ji sighed in the West Palace, now he seems to be much older, he understands a sentence, that is, the feathered phoenix is not as good as a chicken, no matter how beautiful you were before, no matter how powerful you are, when you retreat, everything will change. Things have developed to this point, I can't blame others, I can only blame myself for looking away, and I haven't understood my own son for decades, which is really ridiculous. Zhao Ji was only accompanied by Chen Meiren, since the emperor was downtrodden and there was no hope of restoration, Chen Meiren's desire to please was also a lot lighter, after all, Chen Meiren was less than twenty years old, and Zhao Guan's family had already entered the ranks of the elderly. A guqin plays elegant tunes, but these tunes fall into the ears of Zhao Guan's family, which is very ironic.

Waving his hand, he said weakly, "Don't talk about it, come, talk to me!" Zhao Ji still calls himself me, he is used to it, and he doesn't want to give up.

In the Zichen Palace, Zhao Huan seemed to be in a good mood, but he had fought another beautiful battle in the past two days, not only thwarting the trap laid by his father and the third brother, but Song Jiang was also forced to retreat to Yingtianfu. In an instant, he felt that everything was much more refreshing, "County Lord, now that the third brother has softened, do you think it's time to let Li Yan and Li Bangyan go, if you really offend and die, it's not good!" ”

Listening to Zhao Huan's words, Chai Keyan raised his head in surprise, it was really strange, I didn't expect Zhao Huan to be smart once, and I thought that Zhao Huan would be eager to kill these two people quickly. As far as Zhao Huan said now, it was a little out of place with his previous personality. Gradually, a faint smile appeared on Chai Keyan's face, but his brows frowned slightly, and Zhao Huan's heart thumped. In fact, Chai Keyan could guess that someone must have given Zhao Huan an idea behind his back, it seems that it is necessary to knock Zhao Huan, it is not a good thing to think so much. Chai Keyan didn't want that uncontrollable situation, thought for a while, and whispered. Li Bangyan let it go. As for Li Yan? ”

"Huh? Princess. What is your reasoning, since you let Li Bangyan go, why do you still keep Li Yan? Zhao Huan was a little confused, in his heart, Er Li should be killed and killed, and he should be left behind, so I really can't figure it out.

"Stupid. Don't you even understand that? Li Bangyan is the third brother's person, but what about Li Yan, whose person is he? Li Yan must die, you have to use Li Yan's head to tell all the people in Bianliang City that the sky of the Great Song Dynasty has changed, you are the real official, and the one in the West Palace, hum, the Emperor is the Emperor. Never want to fight with the officials! ”

It turns out that the reason is so simple, just because Li Yan is Zhao Ji's person. Zhao Huan's mouth was half open. Thinking a little dazedly, Chai Keyan didn't have the heart to accompany Zhao Huan to meditate, she slowly left the Zichen Palace, looking like she was tired. Zhao Huan thought that Chai Keyan had gone to the harem to rest, but Chai Keyan did not think as Zhao Huan thought, she strolled in the imperial garden, looking at the greenery in early spring. Zhao Ji is not a good emperor, but he is definitely an artist, the palace garden was built by Zhao Ji magnificent, noble and elegant, the flowers of the four seasons continue to bloom, and there is already a fragrant wind in early spring. By the pond, Chai Keyan clapped his hands gently, and with the sound of clapping, a person came from the side. If Zhao Huan was here, he would definitely be stunned, because the person who came out turned out to be the first worshipper of the worship department to worship Cao Bing.

"Subordinate Cao Bing, I have seen the county lord" Cao Bing arched his hand and saluted respectfully, and he couldn't see the slightest disrespect on his face, this is Chai Keyan's ability, the terrible ability to control. On the surface, even Zhao Huan thought that he had taken control of the Worship Division, but in fact, Cao Bing and Huang Sheng had already been loyal to the Hengwang Mansion. How many years have they been in the Worship Division, how can Cao Bing and Huang Sheng not even have the ability to watch people? Now that the official family is beautiful on the surface, but in fact, it is the county lord who controls everything, and he is not loyal to the county lord, but to be loyal to the official family, so how long can the worship division exist?

"Cao Xianfeng, you are very smart!" Chai Keyan sighed lightly, there was a sarcastic smile on Yurong, Cao Bing chuckled in his heart, bowed down and hurriedly said, "The subordinates don't dare, the county lord is angry, I don't know what the subordinates have done to provoke the county lord like this?" ”

"Don't you understand? Giggles" turned around and looked at Cao Bing, his gaze was like a knife, "The official family recently met with the masters, don't you know anything about it?" The lord of this county told you before, don't be sloppy with the lord of this county, otherwise it will not be good for anyone. ”

Cao Bing lowered his head, but his heart was like turning over the river and the sea, the official family had a secret meeting with Guo Ai, the servant of the ministry, and he couldn't hide it from the worship department. But I thought at the time, it's not a big deal, it's not good to offend the official family in death, after all, the official family is the official family, and no matter how strong the county lord is, he is still a woman, but this kind of thinking violates the majesty of the county lord. Cao Bing didn't think about justifying, if those rhetoric could deceive the county lord, then the county lord wouldn't be able to get to this point today, after thinking it out, he took two steps back, bowed his hand and said, "County lord, his subordinates are guilty, and I promise that I won't do it again in the future." During this time, the meeting with the official family was Guo Ai, the servant of the ministry. ”

"I hope that in the future, as you said, okay, I'm also tired, you can step down, then Guo Ai, you should know how to deal with it, right?" Chai Keyan gradually drifted away, but his voice fell into Cao Bing's ears word for word. When Chai Keyan disappeared, Cao Bing found that his back was soaked, and even he didn't understand why he was so afraid, Chai Keyan was a woman, a powerless woman, but such a woman had the wrist to control the palace.

At night, Zhao Huan was still admiring the paintings left by Zhao Ji in the Zichen Palace, and before the time came, a news came, and he sat down in a chair with a demented expression. Just now, Huang Sheng led the forbidden army to raid Guo Ai's home, and Guo Ai himself was also put on death row, as for the crime, it is even more ridiculous, colluding with the Jurchens and betraying the Great Song Dynasty. After a long time, Zhao Huan was furious, he slapped the table and shouted, "Yang Lian, you go and find Cao Bing, I want to see him!" ”

Yang Lian didn't dare to breathe, and ran to find someone in a gray manner, but when she came outside, she changed to the old man's step, and her demeanor didn't look like she was in a hurry at all. Hey, the official family still doesn't understand, what's the use of looking for Cao Bing, this is obviously an order from the county lord, the purpose is to kill chickens and show monkeys. The meaning of the county lord could not be more obvious, in the future, no one should want to bypass the county lord and give the official family an idea alone, if anyone has this kind of thought, he will end up with Guo Ai. Speaking of which, Guo Shilang is also unlucky enough, he is young and has a bright future, and he has become the unlucky guy well.

Half an hour later, Cao Bing followed Yang Lian to Zichen Palace, and when he saw Cao Bing, Zhao Huan's anger rushed straight to his head, pointing at Cao Bing and scolding, "Cao Bing, you did a good thing, go and release Guo Ai." ”

Zhao Huan ordered, but Cao Bing did not move at all, arched his hand and replied with his face up, "Official, Guo Ai colluded with the Jurchens, the evidence is conclusive, if he is released, I am afraid that the ministers will not accept it, and the people of the world will not accept it." ”

"Nonsense, Guo Ai colluded with the Jurchens, why didn't I know? I asked you to let Guo Ai go, don't you understand, or don't you even listen to my orders? Zhao Huan's face was gloomy and terrifying, but Cao Bing seemed to be determined not to let go, his face did not change and his heart did not beat, and he had no fear at all. Yang Lian lowered her head, and laughed in her stomach, Zhao Guan's family is really interesting, Cao Bing and Huang Sheng have no fear, it is clear that someone is supporting them, who else can make these two people so confident, except for the queen? Why is it so simple, Zhao Guanjia just can't understand it?

The more Zhao Ji spoke, the more unpleasant it became, and Cao Bing's heart began to get angry, this Zhao Huan really treated himself as a dish, if it weren't for the county lord maintaining the overall situation behind, he, the emperor, would not know how many times he would have died. The worship department and even so many courtiers are attached, and it can be seen that it is the ability of the county lord, but it is not Zhao Huan, who is in a hurry, Cao Bing stood up straight, and hummed, "Official, Guo Ai's matter was ordered by the queen mother herself, and without the order of the queen mother, the minister did not dare to release people." ”

Cao Bing doesn't want to pretend to be a grandson all the time, since it has reached this point, then it is clear that it is okay to release people, as long as the queen mother orders it, as for the official family, I'm sorry, we can't listen to it. Zhao Huan raised his hand, his arm trembled, his face was white and red, and the last angry slap slapped on the table, shaking the inkstone to the ground, and the ink stains splashed on the ground, "Get out, get out!" ”

Now Zhao Huan has completely understood, Cao Bing is so arrogant because of Chai Keyan. I thought that the worship division was loyal to the royal family, but I didn't expect that their allegiance turned out to be Chai Keyan. Cao Bing and Yang Lian left quickly, and soon Zhao Huan was the only one left in the Zichen Palace, he was lying in a chair, his chest constantly rising and falling. Chai Keyan is the best ally and the most hateful enemy, Zhao Huan has never hated a person so much, and he can't wait to bite this woman to pieces in his dreams.

The next day, Guo Ai died in the prison, and with Guo Ai's death, Li Bangyan rushed back to the prison, and only two hours later, the deputy director Li Yan followed in Guo Ai's footsteps. Killing two people in a row, one of them was Li Yan, and now all the officials in Bianliang City felt an invisible pressure, they didn't dare to mess around again, who knows whose neck the Cheshire Lord's knife will fall next time?

Bianliang is peaceful, and the bustling streets have returned to their former style, but at this time, the prices of Bianliang City have soared, and the people have complained, but with the passage of time, everything will be fine, after all, the Great Song Dynasty is not a barren northern country, as long as the materials arrive, all the unstable factors will subside.

However, there are some people who don't want Bianliang City to restore tranquility, and these people are Jurchen soldiers and horses. At the end of February, the Jurchen army that docked at the Baima ferry for more than ten days had a move, they went north along the Liyang road, when everyone thought that they would go all the way to the Daimyo's mansion, the tens of thousands of Jin troops suddenly turned back, and it took only three hours to cross the Yellow River from the north of Liyang City, this time it was too sudden, when the Bianliang soldiers and horses found that something was wrong, the vanguard cavalry of the Jin people had come to Bianliang City. These Jin cavalry followed the panicked people all the way to chase and kill, but fortunately, Tong Guan, who was in charge of guarding the city wall, reacted quickly enough to pull up the wooden bridge in time and close the city gate. With the moat barrier, the Jurchen iron cavalry naturally could not cross the river, but the city gate was closed, and the people who remained outside the city suffered, and all these people died at the hands of the Jurchens.

The iron horse returned to the north, but returned to the south, everything shows that the Jurchens have broken their promises, but what can be done? (To be continued......)
