What the hell was Han Gang thinking?

Li Ding couldn't understand Han Gang's thoughts at all.

It stands to reason that Han Gang gave up discussing the state with the few remaining Zaifu, and chose to pull many important ministers into the Chongzheng Palace, which should have something to borrow from them.

Li Ding felt from the beginning that Han Gang must have used his own place to do this.

Li Ding didn't think that Han Gang chose to pull Chongchen into the gang because he didn't have the confidence to fight against the Zaifu.

Han Gang needs to use the place of a major minister, and he should want to further suppress the Zaifu.

But since the beginning of the discussion on how to deal with the rebellion, Han Gang has always sided with the Zaifu. It is even leading the topic and driving the two governments to suppress all opponents.

Could it be that apart from this matter, Han Gang had other places where he needed his help? But if you don't coordinate now, can you join forces later?

And according to today's situation, if Han Gang insists on his opinion on something, most of the Zaisuke will choose to back down. It is to protect the position of the Son of Heaven, and it is the same result.

After seeing him kill Cai Qu with one hammer, it was Wang Anshi who talked to this good son-in-law, and I am afraid that my heart would tremble a little. And the courtiers who had a bad relationship with him were even more grateful for the grace of not killing.

Li Ding is self-aware, don't look at being able to stand up to Han Gang and Zhongzaifu now, it's just that there are many people and can strengthen each other's courage. In addition, Han Gang himself only led the conversation, and it was mainly handed over to Wang Anshi, Han Jiang, and Zhang Dian.

Han Gang didn't need to do anything else.

Can't see through.

With many years of experience as an official, Li Ding still can't see through Han Gang's plans.

If there is no desire, it is rigid.

People who don't have any desires are the most difficult to deal with.

And the situation of asking for something but not guessing the purpose at all is just as tricky.

Li Dinghu laughed dumbly.

Sooner or later, Han Gang's purpose will be exposed, be patient, and wait until he is exhausted.

As for the current situation, there is no need to confront the Zaisukes again.

Han Gang gave the best reason, scheming for the people of Beijing, and spared their lives.

From Li Ding's point of view, it is a good thing to leave Su Shi alive.

Those who are rebellious are able to escape death, and they will inevitably be ruined for life.

In Yushi Taizhong, Li Ding looked at many prisoners who were bent on death and longed to die for liberation. Many times, being alive is the most painful thing.

Seeing that the sworn enemy will not be able to come out again for the rest of his life, he will be watched for the rest of his life, and he will not be able to sleep day and night. The children and grandchildren have been reduced to the poor and lowly generations, and there is the Song generation, and there will be no chance to return to the ranks of scholars. This is a hundred times happier than directly killing the old opponent, and it will make Li Ding a hundred times happier.

Even Li Ding, the middle of the imperial history, was silent, and it was even more difficult for the rest of the important ministers to have a position to speak.

The hall fell silent, looked at Han Gang to the Queen Mother, and then at a few Zaifu, and asked, "According to your wishes." What to do with those rebellions. ”

Wang Anshi said: "Among the four main culprits, Cai Qu, Song Yongchen, and Shi Deyi are dead, so they don't care for the time being. Zhao Hao immediately died. Zeng Bu and Xue Xiang chased down the words since they were born, had no family wealth, and were exiled to the Far Evil Military State, and they were all like this. However, in order to settle people's hearts, they do not chase clans and in-laws. ”

Wang Anshi's handling of the matter sounds very lenient, the court will not condemn Cai Qu and other relatives who betrayed the party, but their future in officialdom has basically come to an end, and their in-laws have all been divorced. It can be said that he cannot turn over for life.

"What about Su Shi, torture forgiveness, and those traitors."

"It can be handed over to the judicial department for interrogation, and after being convicted according to the law, the Queen Mother will pardon it." Han Jiang followed.

"What? Not a direct sentence? Xiang asked the Queen Mother. From the voice, it was impossible to tell whether it was a question or a doubt.

Wang Anshi lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, and did not guess what the Empress Dowager Xiang thought: "The Empress Dowager has borrowed Zeng Bu and Xue Xiang for capital crimes, and the court and outside the court should know the Empress Dowager's benevolence." Even if some of those rebellious remnants still have rebellious intentions, it is impossible for them to be unable to deceive people's hearts. There is no need to go beyond the legal division. ”

After a pause to let the Queen Mother digest this passage, Wang Anshi continued, "There is power to do things." Those who pass are constant, and those who are in power are changing. Zeng Bu and Xue Xiang were pardoned by the Queen Mother without going through the legal department, which was already a change of power. And its henchmen and lackeys don't need to undermine the laws of the imperial court, they should follow the normal process. ”

"What to do with Xiaoqian?" Empress Dowager Xiang was silent for a moment before asking again.

Zhao Xu's sons are all on the throne, which is not a trivial matter that can be passed by.

"Xiao Qian is young and ignorant, and he is not guilty." Wang Anshi replied.

Zhao Xu is innocent, and Xiaoqian must also be innocent. They are all ignorant children, and there is no reason why the crime of killing one's father can be regarded as nothing, and the crime of usurpation must be punished with death.

"However, because of his father's sin, he should be removed from the clan and abolished." Han Jiang followed up and added, "This is Zhao Shiju's old example. After that, he was sent to Nanjing for custody or exiled. ”

“…… Does Han Qing have any opinions? ”

After Han Jiang, Zhang Dian and other rulers asked the empress for Han Gang's opinion.

"The king and the Han ministers punished them like this, and the ministers have no objections." Han Gang replied, "Without further ado, the minister asks the Queen Mother to issue an edict as soon as possible and make it public." ”

……………………

The gates of the inner city are already under control.

The messengers sent back by each sect reported to Li Xin.

At the head of the city, vigilant eyes were watching the military camps all over the capital.

And the artillery carried out from the ordnance prison can also be pushed onto the intersection at any time.

"If a thief dares to go out into the streets, kill him." Li Xin's murderous order was transmitted from the Suzaku Gate to every inner city gate.

Except for the Suzaku Gate, the other gates were only half artillery. Including the deputy capital head, ten generals, generals and other military academies, there are more than 50 people in total. According to the predetermined establishment, there should be eight Tiger squat guns, but now they can basically only be divided into three or four.

Only Suzaku Gate has the most artillery.

Twelve light tiger squat cannons and one field gun with a gun carriage were placed in the main city gate, which was closed most of the time, guarding the main gate of Suzaku Gate.

The state bridge is crowded with people, even if it is in mourning, it is also the most prosperous area in Kaifeng Prefecture. And the royal street behind the door is also the most lively and prosperous section.

But as long as Li Xin gave an order, whether it was the royal street in the city or the state bridge outside the city, as long as someone dared to storm the city gate, they would immediately be beaten into meat sauce by the lead bullets that had been gathering momentum for a long time.

Li Xin is not worried about Cai Qu's remnants.

Whether Song Yongchen's Ban Zhi arranged in Zhao Hao's house was all rebelled, it is impossible to determine at all now. But the head of it must have been one of the accomplices involved in the rebellion. Therefore, Wang Hou must personally lead the army to besiege it.

But Wen Chen like Cai Qu, Zeng Bu, and Xue Xiang have nothing to worry about.

They can give orders, even make the generals fearful, and it is the official positions they have that are working. It is the system and the rules that give them power. After losing the protection of the system, few of their servants will follow them.

The reason why the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty did not worry about Wenchen is here.

No matter how powerful the ministers are, once they lose the status and power given to them by their official positions, they are just a big measure that can't even kill chickens. And those generals who lead the army have more or less a dozen or dozens of cronies who can live and die for them.

Cai is indeed dead, and his main henchmen have been captured. There are still some miscellaneous pieces left, which are not a cause for concern at all.

Li Xin was most worried about the remnants of the Imperial City Division in the capital.

Since you can go to the streets to find out the news, of course, you can also set off turmoil in the capital.

Setting fire to houses, spreading rumors, and even slashing in the streets can cause chaos in the capital.

As twilight approaches, all parties in the capital have received news of the coup, and their reactions will soon be on the table.

The first night after the rebellion was the most critical and difficult juncture.

Li Xin only hoped that the rebellious remnants would hesitate for a while when the group of hooligans was leaderless. Wait until tomorrow dawn, the court will announce the Quartet, and the scouts will come out, and the thieves will not have a chance.

Kaifeng Mansion, Left Army Patrol Hospital, Right Army Patrol Hospital, Old City Left Wing Office, Right Wing Office, New City Left Wing Office......

Li Xin silently counted the key yamen in the capital that controlled manpower and soldiers and horses, whether any of them had been bought, and how many had been bought, perhaps only Shi Deyi, who had died, knew best.

Li Xin was beyond his reach for this, and holding the city gate was already the limit of his troops, and the rest could only rely on the prefect of Kaifeng Mansion.

Li Xin didn't know if Lu Dao's cousin Han Gang had left the palace now, but Quan knew that Shen Kuo of Kaifeng Mansion had already left the palace.

I hope that Shen Kuo can free his hands as soon as possible and control the inside and outside of the capital.

……………………

Zeng Bu and others' handling opinions, Han Gang did not say much.

Xiang asked the Queen Mother about him several times, but Han Gang only replied on a case-by-case basis, and the rest was left to Wang Anshi and Han Jiang to deal with.

Zhang Dian had been flashing suspicious eyes on his side, and Li Ding's demeanor was almost exactly the same as Zhang Dan.

Han Gang understood that there were not a few people who doubted his intentions, and everyone was guessing his thoughts.

But Han Gang really didn't have too many ideas, he just felt that it was not good for the Zaifu to discuss in the past, and then leave it to the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven to decide. If you drag some people in, the worst thing will be to maintain the status quo, and if the situation is better, it will change in the direction that Han Gang wants.

In order to fight against the imperial power, the Zaisuke must work together, and establishing a common enemy is the key.

Han Gang dragged the important ministers in, at least half of them with such thoughts.

Although this will make the important ministers seem to have a great rise in status, when it comes to actually handling government affairs, the power in the hands of the Zaifu can be easily suppressed, even the Goshidai. After this turmoil, the status of the Zaisukes is as stable as Mount Tai, and even if the Yushitai is disobedient, it will not have an actual impact.

And once it becomes a common practice for important ministers to discuss together, no matter who it is, they will try to replace the obedient party members.

Han Gang hopes that the Zaifu will take the initiative to seize power from now on.

Han Gang didn't expect to be able to make his wishes come true, as far as he was concerned, it was best to succeed, and if he couldn't succeed, he would find a way.

There are still ten years to go, and he doesn't plan to go on anymore, and he is confident enough to lead all Zaifu on the path he wants them to take.

It may be a long time before these colleagues understand, but Han Gang is still confident that they will understand

All that is lost is the shackles.

What you get will be the entire world.
