Chapter 646: The Thief of the Country
Zheng Zhi and the seed master walked a few steps briskly to meet Zhao Ji. I heard Zheng Zhi reply: "Your Majesty, don't want anything else, as long as the world is peaceful and prosperous, the dwellers have their houses, and the cultivators have their fields." Food can be abundant, and clothes can shelter the body from the cold. I want the people of the world to no longer have to suffer from chaotic government, and no longer need to worry about foreign slaughter and plunder. The minister wants Huaxia to stand in the highest place in the world, no longer oppressed by outsiders, and no longer ravaged by other countries. ”
Zheng Zhi faced Zhao Ji and said something sincere. Originally, Zheng Zhi only wanted to protect the family and the people around him, but now Zheng Zhi has such lofty ambitions. This ambition is slowly being implemented in the hands of Zheng Zhi, which is the future of Hebei Yanyun, and it will also be the entire land of China in the future.
"Isn't this Great Song Dynasty peaceful and prosperous? Since I ascended the throne, what kind of chaos have I had? The party is dead, and the Khitan is gone. Where is there still foreign slaughter and looting in this Great Song Dynasty? Isn't this Great Song Dynasty the highest place in the world? Who has the people been oppressed against? And by which country has he been ravaged? Isn't it the ambition of those chaotic ministers, thieves, and wolves? How did you cause people to be displaced? Zheng Zhi, you are clever and eloquent, but you are just hiding the ambition in your own heart. Ridiculous! Zhao Ji heard Zheng Zhi's words and asked rhetorically.
also said Zhao Ji's heart, to say that the Great Song Dynasty is in Zhao Ji's heart, it is a Great Song Dynasty with a rich country and a strong people. That Song Jiang Wang Qing is just a thief, a thief who robs his house. The Zheng Zhi in front of him is now just a thief, a thief who intends to steal the country.
Zheng Zhi's face turned cold when he heard this, he took a few steps closer, was aggressive, and said, "Your Majesty, why did this Great Song Dynasty become what it is now?" Why did Fang La rebel? Why did you kill Zhu Mian? But you still don't know, the majestic Gen Mountain, how many sorrows of the people of Li? Fang La was originally the master of the lacquer garden, and he was also a wealthy family, but he was forced to rebel at the risk of death. Where did these millions of thieves come from? ”
Zheng Zhi said here, and took a few steps closer: "The party has destroyed the country?" How did Yanyun recover? All the soldiers are brave, and the generals use their lives. But it was the Great Song Dynasty that benefited from generations of literati. The warriors are hungry, they march in shifts, the literati are high, and the warriors are humiliated. Your Majesty knows why the hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops in Tokyo are vulnerable? The princes of the Manchu Dynasty, including Your Majesty, how have you ever looked at these hundreds of thousands of forbidden army men in Tokyo? Military salaries must be deducted, driven like pigs, dogs, and livestock, who will be loyal to the king? Isn't it ridiculous that the scholars and the royal world are counting on the military to defend the country? ”
Zheng Zhi was still moving forward, forcing Zhao Ji to retreat step by step. Zheng Zhi's words did not stop at all: "The party and the Khitan, if these forbidden troops in Tokyo are allowed to fight, I am afraid that they will have already lost their armor." Now there is still that Jurchen is powerful, and he has dealt with the Jurchen many times, all of them are trembling, and in the face of the Jurchen, he is even more like walking on thin ice. If someone is not in Yanyun, and the Jurchen Iron Horse is riding south, who in this world can stop it? ”
"There are tens of thousands of people in the world, all of them are dogs and dogs under the clan of the scholars, those who have no land, lease the fields of the scholars, the harvest is good, but it is enough to feed the family, the harvest is not good, and the family is yellow and thin. Why are there so many displaced people when there is a natural disaster? It is not that there is no food in the world, but because many people have no savings, no savings to face the disaster, they can only be displaced and kneel down to beg for a bite of food, sell their children as slaves, and only hope that their children can grow up in peace. Scholars all say that the world is public, is this world public only in the justice of the scholars? ”
Zheng Zhi was aggressive, and Zhao Ji retreated again and again, what Zheng Zhi said was the most basic problem in this era, and none of it was a lie. Today's Zhao Ji has also gone out to see some things, but he is not as ignorant of the world as he was at the beginning, so he also heard a little weak-hearted.
But Zhao Ji didn't feel that he really had something wrong, even if Gen Yue made the people suffer a little, it was only a small fault, and the matter of the army and the Han was originally the law of the ancestors, and it was not Zhao Ji's decision. As for the affairs of the people in the fields, it has been the case for thousands of years in all dynasties, and it is not Zhao Ji's personal fault. So Zhao Ji opened his mouth and asked: "Zheng Zhi, you talk eloquently, just like you are the savior, so that everyone in the world can become immortals and no longer suffer from being human?" Stealing the country, I want to talk like you and confuse people's hearts. Can you steal this world so that everyone in the world can live in good health and not suffering? ”
Zhao Ji's words are also reasonable. A world where everyone is equal, a world where everyone is well-dressed and happy, no one in this world has ever seen it, even Zheng Zhi thousands of years later.
But I heard Zheng Zhi reply: "A certain can not ensure that everyone can become an immortal, but a certain can protect the dignity of China, the people of China, life and death are dignified, food and clothing are dignified, walking is dignified, and reading is dignified." The country of China, in the face of any country and nation in the world, will not be bullied! ”
Zheng Zhi said it loudly, even Zheng Zhi himself believed this. The law of reform is the law of dignity.
Zheng Zhi replied to Zhao Ji's words, but he also indirectly admitted one of the premises in Zhao Ji's words, that is, Zheng Zhi wants to steal the country!
Where else could Zhao Ji listen to, so he pointed at Zheng Zhi and scolded: "The thief who steals the country!" ”
Zheng Zhi is obviously not afraid, even if he lets Zhao Ji and those scholars go to the same boat, as long as he can handle Zhao Ji, he will control the whole boat. Because Zheng Zhi knew that the emperor Zhao Ji in front of him had never had real courage, and he was a person who could endure any humiliation, as long as he could survive!
"Your Majesty, the minister has a word, and please listen to your Majesty. In this imperial city, His Majesty has relatives and rooms, and has children and grandchildren. Anyone can die, even Your Majesty, you can also die! Zheng Zhi's words were fierce, there was nothing else, it was a threat! It was Zheng Zhi who saw through Zhao Ji's threat!
Zhao Ji was full of anger, his face was also hideous, and he pointed at Zheng Zhi and said, "You!!!!! ”
Zheng Zhi saw Zhao Ji's hideous face, suddenly pulled out a long knife from his waist, and walked towards Zhao Ji, murderous!
Zhao Ji could only hear the sound of the long knife coming out of the sheath, and his body had unconsciously stepped back, and then he saw the cold light with blood stains, and he retreated again and again.
After taking a few steps back, he was already sitting on the ground!
Zheng Zhi took a few steps closer, stared at the pale Zhao Ji on the ground for a moment, and returned the knife to the sheath.
Under Zhao Ji's seat, there was already a pool of moisture. Maybe Zhao Ji didn't know that he could "endure humiliation" so much, and he would also have this extremely fearful emotion. Originally, Zhao Ji should have been kidnapped by the Jin people, and when he saw his wife and concubines and children being ruined, and he was also under persecution, he would know how unbearable he was when he knelt and crawled naked in bloody sheepskin.
At this time, Zheng Zhi had already let Zhao Ji feel this first.
"Tomorrow, Emperor Shunde will come to the palace to accompany His Majesty to relieve the boredom in his heart. When Your Majesty has nothing to do, you should also contact the princes of the court more and discuss how to kill the thieves together. In this way, it makes sense for His Majesty to live. Zheng Zhi said this lightly, looked at Zhao Ji, and walked back.
Zheng Zhi asked Zhao Ji to contact the officials of the DPRK and China to discuss the killing of the national thief, which was not a lie. But the real meaning, so that the princes of the court can closely unite around Zhao Ji, for the time being, it is beneficial to Zheng Zhi. At least it is much more advantageous than these scholars in Tokyo not holding out any hope for Zhao Ji.
If these scholars and doctors in Tokyo don't have any hope for Zhao Ji, they are all looking to Zhao Huan, waiting for Zhao Huan to kill the national thief, and Zheng Zhi will have no point in taking Zhao Ji.
The little eunuch watched all this with his own eyes, and his legs and feet were numb, and his heart was like ashes. The little eunuch's name is Liu Sande, and he is not a stupid person, and he knows that when he sees Zheng Zhi bullying Zhao Ji today, he is afraid that he will not be able to live. He just waited to die.
But he didn't want to, Zheng Zhi passed by the eunuch and said, "What is the name of this internal official?" ”
The little eunuch usually knelt down, kowtowed again and again, and said: "The little one's name is Liu Sande, the little one... The little one greets His Royal Highness King Yan. ”
Zheng Zhi nodded when he heard this: "Get up, take someone to get the jade seal, there is still an official document to be sent today!" ”
The little eunuch heard Zheng Zhi's words, and his heart was overjoyed, knowing that his life seemed to be saved. Hurriedly got up and led the way.
While leading the way, the little eunuch also looked back at Zhao Ji who was sitting on the ground, and saw that Zhao Ji's face was pale, his eyes were dull, his body was not only trembling, but he seemed to be muttering in his mouth. And a puddle of water stains on the bluestone slab underneath the buttocks.
Among the planters who followed Zheng Zhi, their faces were a little complicated, and their hearts were also a little complicated, some pity, some self-inflicted, some sad and sad, some helpless, and some fear, fear of Zheng Zhi. There is also some admiration, which is still admiration for Zheng Zhi.
Zheng Zhi sighed as he walked and said: "I wanted to ask Your Majesty to issue a holy decree, and I wanted to bring troops into Beijing to listen to the seal, but I didn't want to do this by myself." ”
Zheng Zhi said that he originally came to find Zhao Ji, and he was going to let Zhao Ji make a holy decree, but he didn't want to take the jade seal himself.
Hearing this, the seed master replied: "Lord Wang, the war in Huaixi is stalemate, is it a little inappropriate to ask Zhe Keqiu to bring troops into Beijing at this time?" If the anti-thief king Qing sits on this side, he will be able to suppress it in the future, I am afraid it will be a difficult thing. ”
I saw Zheng Zhi shake his head and said, "Wang Qing's generation is just a thief who can be supported. As long as you can ask for something you want to suppress, it's just a matter of blink of an eye. I don't want to kill it! ”
Zheng Zhi didn't say anything else, this holy decree is to force him to make a decision. After the holy decree left, he looked at the response of Zhekeqiu, and Zheng Zhi could know what Zhekeqiu's plan was.
If he comes to Tokyo, then it is easy to say that Zheng Zhi is confident that he can control him.
If you don't come to Tokyo, you're still in Huaixi. Then this compromise can be asked to guard against him.
If Zhe Keqiu went to find Zhao Huan, then Zheng Zhike would also have to do it, and the way to do it was to ride out lightly and go straight to the northwest. It depends on whether you want to go back to your hometown.
The seed master naturally understood, nodded and said, "Your Highness, rest assured, the northwest and we should be of the same mind." ”
