Chapter 391: Chaos in the court
Chapter 191 The Great Luàn of the Imperial Hall
------------
?“ Big brother, I'm not mistaken, right? The defenders on the walls actually fled? Zhang Xian followed behind Yue Fei and said in disbelief.
"That's right, it's true." Yue Fei was also a little distracted.
Truth be told, both were stunned. They knew that the forbidden army in Bianliang was weak, but they didn't expect it to be "weak" to such a point. And even this is no longer "weak", it is simply not the slightest combat power. They hadn't even heard of such a thing - the enemy army only shè an arrow below, and without shè killing a single person, the defenders were all scared away!
If Yue Fei had a ladder beside him, he would be able to attack Bianliang City with his soldiers now. Or Yue Fei can order the soldiers to form a "human ladder", and the people above step on the shoulders below, layer by layer, and they can also enter Bianliang City. Historically, although it is rare to form a human ladder to attack the city, it is not uncommon. In the current situation of Bianliang City, there will be no problem in forming a human ladder to attack the city.
Of course, Yue Fei just wants to disturb sāo here, not really want to attack Bianliang City.
Yang Lin and Lu Fang were also stunned, they followed Yue Fei to Bianliang this time, originally thinking that they would have to go through a hard battle, and maybe even die for a lifetime, after all, the number of forbidden troops in Bianliang City reached 800,000. But looking at the current appearance of the forbidden army in Bianliang City, there is no combat effectiveness at all. If all the forbidden armies were like this, then this mission would be almost equivalent to an outing, and there would be no danger.
Yang Lin and Lu Fang couldn't help laughing, and the Liangshan soldiers next to them also laughed.
"Big brother, I think we can attack the city directly!" Zhang Xian laughed.
"There is no need to siege the city, we can just go around the city." Yue Fei said.
At that moment, Yue Fei galloped under Bianliang City with soldiers and horses, and everywhere he went, the forbidden troops on the city wall dodged one after another. Sometimes, after a single arrow, all the forbidden troops disappeared, and sometimes, before they arrived, the forbidden troops on the city walls had already avoided the sound of horses' hooves.
In this way, Yue Fei took his soldiers and horses around the city for two hours, without encountering a single resistance.
"I will lead a thousand soldiers and horses, Zhang Xian, you will also lead a thousand soldiers and horses, Yang Lin and Lu Fang will also lead a thousand soldiers and horses each, everyone will act separately, just don't leave too far." Yue Fei thought about it and gave such an order.
******
At this moment, in Bianliang City, it is already a hunluàn.
People in the streets are running around, some looking for their relatives, others looking for friends, and they want to call these people to their homes. At a time like this, it's safer to stay at home.
The officials of the imperial court rushed to the palace one after another, they wanted to know how His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would deal with this matter. The enemy army has come outside the city, and if the enemy army is not driven away, everyone's lives are in danger.
And in the palace, those eunuchs and palace NVs are also luàn together, and some eunuchs and palace NVs have already changed their clothes and are ready to leave the palace at any time.
"What about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" At this time, an official in his 70s entered the palace, and when he saw this official, those eunuchs and palace NVs kowtowed to their luggage.
This official is the leader of the ministers, Cai Jing, the imperial master.
Cai Jing was led by several eunuchs towards the East Palace, and when he came to the East Palace, he found that the crown prince Zhao Huan was sitting upright, and countless ministers had already arrived below.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, the enemy army is outside the city, and now the enemy army must be driven away!" After Cai Jing entered the main hall of the East Palace, he didn't salute at all, but asked directly.
Some time ago, because of the matter of the messenger, Song Huizong fainted, and then let the crown prince Zhao Huan supervise the country, so now it is nominally Zhao Huan who handles all the things.
But in fact, Zhao Huan has no real name and does not have much rights at all. The real power is still in the hands of Cai Jing, Gao Yu, Yang Jian and others, who have to visit Emperor Zhao Ji every day and tell Zhao Ji all the major events. If it weren't for the siege of Liangshan soldiers and horses this time, Cai Jing and the others would not have come to the East Palace at all.
"Such a big matter is not something that I can handle as a mere prince, you go to the harem to ask for your father, he must have a plan in his heart." Zhao Huan said lightly.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty's health is not good, and you are not unaware. He asked you to supervise the country, and this matter should be handled by you! Cai Jing pretended to be painstaking.
"Humph! What prison state? What prince? Does any of you treat me as a prince? Is there a man who thinks I'm a prisoner? Zhao Huan suddenly became angry, pointed at Cai Jing below, and then pointed at Gao Yu and the others, and shouted angrily: "I know your thoughts, you have never regarded me as a prince in your hearts. My father likes Zhao Kai, so you all think that he will definitely be the prince in the future, and my prince is only temporary? Isn't it? ”
Zhao Huan suddenly said such a paragraph, and the ministers below were stunned.
In fact, this is also a recognized thing in the late Northern Song Dynasty, everyone knows that Zhao Huan does not like Zhao Ji, and Zhao Ji intends to abolish Zhao Huan and set up Zhao Kai as the crown prince. So all along, the ministers have not respected Zhao Huan enough. Even if Zhao Huan was in charge of the country, not many people came to visit him and let Zhao Huan deal with specific affairs.
In the original history, if it weren't for the invasion of the Jin soldiers, Zhao Gou hurriedly gave up the position of emperor to Zhao Huan, I'm afraid Zhao Huan would never be the emperor. Of course, even if Zhao Huan became the emperor, he was also the last king, and then he was captured by NV Zhenren and died of humiliation.
These days, Zhao Huan has had enough. He knew that why Cai Jing and the others came to him today, it must be because his father was frightened and couldn't handle this matter, so he gave it to him. He didn't want to do it now, and after saying these words, he got up suddenly, then looked at the ministers below with a sneer, and walked away.
After Zhao Huan left, the ministers were stunned, and after a while, a middle-aged official in his 30s stood up and said, "Lord Cai, let's go and ask to see His Majesty the Emperor." ”
Cai Jing glanced at the minister and said, "Your Majesty's health is indeed not good, let's not bother him, right?" ”
The 30-year-old middle-aged official also became angry and said, "Lord Cai, do you think we don't know? Your Majesty's body has already recovered, and you ask to see Your Majesty every day! Today, you must have met Your Majesty first and then come to see the Prince! The enemy army is outside the city, and Bianliang City is in danger, if Your Majesty does not come to deal with affairs at such a moment, who will deal with it? If you don't want to go, I'll take my ministers to meet Your Majesty!" ”
Cai Jing was stunned and said, "This ......"
Before he finished speaking, the middle-aged official had already strode outside, and the rest of the ministers followed the official towards the outside, and Cai Jing, Gao Yu and others also hurriedly followed.
"This damn Qin Hui!" Cai Jing cursed secretly.
The middle-aged official in his 30s was the famous Jiān minister Qin Hui in later generations, but in the late Northern Song Dynasty, Qin Hui was still a famous Qing official in the world. He has extraordinary knowledge and an excellent reputation, so when he was in his 20s, he became a scholar of Taixue. Taixue is the highest university in the country, almost equivalent to the current Tsinghua University, Peking University, and the Central D School, and many officials are selected from Taixue students. Qin Hui was able to become a Taixue scholar in his 20s, and his knowledge can be seen. After the age of 30, he became the middle of the imperial history, that is, the official position that Bao Zheng once held. After becoming the middle of the imperial history, he can supervise and impeach hundreds of officials, he has truly become the head of the officials, and to a certain extent, he can compete with Cai Jing and others.
Later, when the nv Zhenren invaded, Qin Hui resolutely disagreed with the cession of land and sued for peace, so he had a higher status in the hearts of the Song people, which was also the civil basis for him to become the minister of power later. Qin Hui's change was that after his return from the Jin State, he changed from a resistance faction to a surrender faction, from a Qing official to a jiān minister.
Now Qin Hui strode towards the harem, and countless ministers followed him. These ministers all regarded Qin Hui as the leader, and their eyes were quite unkind when they looked at Cai Jing, Gao Yu and others.
******
The harem was full of hunluàn, and no one stopped Qin Hui and the others at all, and a quarter of an hour later, they came to the entrance of a palace at the back, only to see a few Taoist priests standing at the entrance of the palace. These Taoist priests were taken aback when they saw so many ministers coming, and two Taoist priests stretched out their hands to intercept them, saying, "Your Majesty is cultivating inside, and you must not enter." ”
Qin Hui was furious and said, "What time is it now?" The enemy army is besieging Bianliang, and our lives are in danger, and the Great Song Dynasty is also besieging it! At such a moment, His Majesty is still cultivating? ”
He jerked out his hand and pushed the two Taoist priests to the ground, and then strode into the palace, and the rest of the ministers followed him into the palace.
The palace was smoky, and the dignified Emperor Zhao Ji of the Great Song Dynasty was also wearing a Taoist robe, he sat cross-legged on the ground, with a Dan furnace in front of him, his eyes slightly closed, and he was outside the object.
"Your Majesty, the enemy army is attacking the city, what should I do now, please give your Majesty an order!" Qin Hui strode in front of Zhao Huan, knelt down, and shouted loudly.
Countless ministers in the back knelt down, and Cai Jing and Gao Yu also had to kneel down.
Zhao Ji opened his eyes, looked at Qin Hui in front of him, and then saw the ministers behind him, first startled, and then said angrily: "Didn't I say it? Everything is handled by the crown prince, why are you bothering me again? ”
Qin Hui said: "Your Majesty, the crown prince is too young to handle such a big matter. Now that Your Majesty is in good health, why do you have to hide here? Please make a decision as soon as possible! ”
Zhao Ji was ashamed and angry, and stood up. The reason why he is hiding here these days is mainly because if the matter of the envoy is too embarrassing, he can't face the ministers, and he is afraid that the ministers will interrogate him, and now that this matter has been exposed by Qin Hui, he can't wait to slap Qin Hui in the face a few times.
At the moment he was walking around the palace, thinking of the form outside, he was sweating profusely, and said, "How many enemy troops are there?" Where are the enemy forces? ”
Cai Jing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it seems that there are only more than 10,000 people. Yesterday, Sun Zhaoyuan, who stayed in Luoyang, sent a letter, saying that it was the Hedong thieves who crossed the border. We thought they were going back to Hedong, but we didn't expect to come to Bianliang. Weichen didn't take precautions, he really deserved to die. ”
Zhao Ji said: "You can't be blamed for this matter!" It turned out that there were only more than 10,000 people, which was not worth mentioning. Don't we still have 800,000 forbidden troops in Bianliang? Gao Yu, you are the captain of the palace marshal's mansion, and the forbidden army is all under your control, so you can lead the troops to battle now! ”
When Gao Yu heard this, he was stunned for a moment. It is true that he is a lieutenant, and he is indeed in charge of the 800,000 forbidden army. But he, the captain, is nothing but pleasing the emperor and playing football. He doesn't understand military affairs at all, and he doesn't have martial arts, how can he lead troops to fight?
At that moment, Gao Yu hurriedly begged: "Your Majesty, Weichen is only afraid that he will not be able to drive away the Liangshan thieves, and please ask Your Majesty to appoint a virtuous person!" ”
Zhao Ji snorted coldly and said, "You are a captain, if you don't lead the troops, who will lead the troops?" Okay, this matter is settled, you are limited to one hour to lead the troops into battle, and if you are still in the city by then, I will throw you out of the city! ”
Zhao Ji hates Gao Yu very much now, mainly because Gao Yu exposed the matter of Gao Li's fake envoy, which made him lose a lot of face, so this time he has to drive Gao Yu to the line of fire and let Gao Yu face the danger of his life.
