Chapter 568: Where is Wang Huang? (Thanks to Pan Blue PH Reward)
1. "The emperor said: I learned that Hebei was in turmoil, and I was lucky to gain power, so that Bianliang was in danger, the world was vast, the population was tens of thousands, and it was difficult to save the national capital in a short time. The wolf's ambition will surely perish. In times of crisis, I illustrated the way to solve the dilemma and ensure that the community was not lost. The special biography is located in the crown prince, guarding the city with the new emperor, the prince is pure and benevolent, knows etiquette and righteousness, and assists the public. I wanted to go south, and I prayed for burning incense for heaven's protection. The second is to gather troops, gather the division of the king of Qin, millions of armor, and then relieve the siege.
Wu Min, a scholar in the middle school, was promoted to be a servant of his subordinates, and Geng Nanzhong was promoted to a member of the Privy Council for signing, and the two assisted the new monarch to handle the enthronement matters. Taishi Cai Jing is the imperial envoy of the capital, and he is in charge of the city's affairs!
Therefore, I hereby instruct you to know about it! ”
At the morning meeting, the eunuch read aloud, but Zhao Ji was not present. Zhao Ji had already gone out of the south gate and went straight to Bozhou.
For the first time in history, the Jin Kingdom went south, and Zhao Ji hurriedly passed down the throne, took Cai Jing Tong Guan and others to seize the door, and also brought Tong Guan's newly formed Shengjie Army. Today, history is repeated, but Tong Guan Cai Jing did not accompany him. When the Jin Kingdom went south for the second time, the pure and benevolent prince was no longer pure and benevolent, and put his father under house arrest, and no one was allowed to meet him, even the food was passed through the hole.
The two emperors were both in Tokyo and were wiped out by the Jinren.
Now that Zhao Ji has passed on the throne again, he ran out of Tokyo, and he doesn't know what the ending will be.
In the main hall, the holy decree had just been read, and Wu Min and Geng Nanzhong had already rushed to the East Palace.
Although Geng Nanzhong made a mistake in front of him, he also won the understanding of the crown prince Zhao Huan. Geng Nanzhong obviously has no way, who called Wang Huang powerful at the beginning, and also persuaded the prince to protect himself. Geng Nanzhong has been in the East Palace for more than ten years, but Zhao Huan has not really embarrassed him.
The ministers went straight to the East Palace from the main hall, and there were countless eunuchs in the palace, Geng Nanzhong and Wu Min were in front. Among them, there are many people who are panicked, and they only hate that they didn't befriend this prince who rarely appeared at the beginning. Geng Nanzhong and Wu Min were a little happy in their hearts, both of them were promoted to official positions, and they were able to assist the new monarch, not to mention the difficulties in front of them, but looking at the future road, it seemed to be bright.
Everyone went to Dedong Palace and supported Zhao Huan to ascend the throne.
When the Jin soldiers besieged the city in history, everyone also supported Zhao Huan to ascend the throne like this, and Zhao Huan at that time was reluctant to ascend the throne until he fainted from crying, and was not lifted to the throne.
But this time Zhao Huan didn't resist much, obviously in everyone's hearts, Zheng Zhi was not a real threat to the crisis of Jiangshan Sheji, and it was too far worse than the barbarian Jurchen. Even though Zhao Huan was a little worried in his heart, he was not really afraid.
Everything is simple, that is, the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky has been postponed by everyone, and Zhao Huan is so hurried to sit on the dragon chair.
Zhao Huan, who was sitting on the dragon chair, frowned and saw the left and right ministers kneeling down and shouting long live, but he forgot the sentence "flat body". After everyone knelt for a while, the eunuch next to him squeezed his eyebrows, and then Zhao Huan spoke: "Zhongqing is flat!" ”
Everyone got up, Wu Min had already entered the role, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the anti-thief army is already in Puyang, and I think it will go south to Bianliang in the near future, and I also ask Your Majesty to issue an order to appease the hearts of the people in the city, organize the army and the people to resist the thieves, and wait for the Emperor Taishang to lead troops to help." ”
Zhao Huan nodded and said, "Yes, the Zhongshu Province will draft the decree, and Taishi Cai will be responsible for the anti-thief matter." ”
Geng Nanzhong also came out and said: "Your Majesty, Zheng Zhi rebelled, although the crime is unforgivable, but there is also an inside story. If it can be stopped without a fight, it will be of great benefit to the country and the people. You might as well send someone to mediate with it a few times, and even if it doesn't work, you can drag it out for some time, and ask Your Majesty to decide. ”
Zhao Huan heard this, but he also felt extremely reasonable, if Zheng Zhi quit the army, he didn't say much, if Zheng Zhi didn't quit the army, he could also delay some time and wait for reinforcements, so he said: "This law is very good, who can be an envoy?" ”
If you want to negotiate, you naturally have to have someone go in person. But everyone knows that Qin Hui was beheaded by Zheng Zhi, and Cai Jing was almost beheaded by the sacrificial weapon, where would anyone dare to come out and take this errand.
Seeing that no one spoke on the left and right, Wu Min stubbornly said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Seed Master Dao can take on this important responsibility. The seed master is loyal to the country, and he is kind to the thief. He can be sent to mediate. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Huan asked, "Where is the Seed Master Dao?" ”
Cai Jing, who had not spoken, hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, the Seed Master Dao has returned to Tokyo this morning. But the minister thought that the way of planting a teacher was not suitable. In Tokyo, there are very few people who know about military affairs, and there are no people who have the right way to teach the right thing. It is more appropriate to leave the Seed Master Dao in Beijing to manage the city defense, so that the city defense can also be guaranteed. If he sends an envoy to the thief army, he is afraid that the thief will not be able to return it, and the gain will outweigh the loss. ”
Cai Jing now has a little trust in the Seed Master Dao, and Cai Jing only has such a person to rely on to defend the city, so he can't let the Seed Master go out of the city.
Zhao Huan naturally knew in his heart that the matter of city defense was more important, and asked again: "Then who can be responsible for this?" ”
Everyone did not dare to answer, bowed their heads and remained silent. I'm afraid that I will die, and I will only have a head left when I come back.
Wu Min saw that everyone didn't answer, he was very anxious, looked left and right a few times, and came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Li Bangyan, a scholar from Zhongshu and a scholar of Hanlin, is worthy of this position. ”
Why does Li Bangyan need people? In history, he once worshiped the prime minister, the official Zhishang Shu left the servant shot, and when the Jin soldiers went south, they advocated the people who cut the land and sought peace. The city of Taiyuan, which Wang Yu insisted on, was ceded by this person's suggestion. However, Wang Yu received the holy decree of surrender and still held on to the city, even if he was abandoned by the Great Song Dynasty, he also held on to death.
At that time, Li Gang and Seed Master Dao, who advocated resisting the enemy, were all excluded, and Li Bangyan also had the credit.
When the Jin soldiers besieged Bianliang, there were soldiers on the head of the city who couldn't bear it anymore and fired a cannon. was beheaded by Li Bangyan's order.
Why did Wu Min recommend Li Bangyan, obviously the two are both Chinese scholars and have personal relationships. Wu Min had no choice, but he saw his eyes on this colleague. As for many members of the imperial court, Wu Min, who had just been promoted, obviously didn't dare to talk nonsense.
Li Bangyan's body was shocked when he heard this, his face suddenly turned pale, and he hurriedly came out of the crowd, and was about to open his mouth to shirk.
But it was Zhao Huan who had already opened his mouth first and said: "This matter is so decided, with Li Bangyan sending the thief army, let's see what conditions the anti-thief Zheng Zhi has." ”
The holy mouth has been opened, and Li Bangyan can't say more, so he has to retreat with a big courtesy.
Wu Min has just breathed a sigh of relief from this matter, and has just been promoted to the rank of Zhongshu Shilang, that is, if this matter is not done well, how can he win the trust of Xinjun. The official position of Zhongshu Shilang is actually the chief official of Zhongshu Province, although there are still servants on it, but now most of them are Shangshu servants and servants, or they are directly idle.
When Wu Min just took a breath, Zhao Huan had already opened his mouth again: "Where is Wang Huang?" ”
As soon as the name Wang Huang came out, Geng Nanzhong's face changed. Wu Min also immediately realized, but Wu Min reacted faster, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Wang Huang's generation, is really a national thief, at the time of the phase, the people's grievances are boiling, there are countless greed for ink, and there is more responsibility for the bandits in Jiangnan, please also ask Your Majesty to kill this person, if this person is ambushed, the people will definitely applaud and thank Your Majesty for Shengming." ”
Zhao Huan obviously holds a grudge, and Wu Min's reaction is even more in line with Zhao Huan's heart. I only heard Zhao Huan speak: "Passed down the holy decree, and demoted Wang Huang to the deputy envoy of the Chongxin Army, and he didn't have the whole family." ”
Zhao Huan inherited the glorious tradition of his ancestors, and did not issue an order to kill the scholars, but only degraded and confiscated the family. But this Wang Huang obviously can't live. It's just the end of slashing on the side of the road.
"Yes!" Wu Min said.
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not come out to speak for Wang Hao at this time. Even what Wu Min said, most of Wang Hao's culpability and the like are a bit far-fetched. But there was no one to cry out for him. The new emperor ascended the throne, and most of the civil and military forces present were not familiar with him, so where did they dare to offend at will.
But everyone knows at this time that this pure and benevolent person, who rarely shows up, does not seem to be so pure and benevolent.
After the court meeting, preparations began everywhere to defend against the enemy. The defense of the capital made Cai Jing also start to get busy, Tong Guan naturally couldn't really defend the city above the city, Cai Jing still remembered the kindness, and secretly sent Tong Guan, who was in his sixties, back to the mansion to recuperate.
The Seed Master Dao was found back by Cai Jing, and he went to the head of the city and began to deploy defenses. Tokyo is full of more than 10,000 good soldiers, and most of them are left behind before they can gather. The guards in the palace city also drew out hundreds, and these palace guards were all five big and three thick, and most of them were generals, and there were not many good hands.
The rest of the work was to mobilize the people of Tokyo to help defend the city, and the guards of the officials and their subordinates gathered 17,800 people. There were also a lot of splashes in the city, and they took hundreds of copper coins, received weapons, and went up to the city.
After doing so several times, I finally barely stood in a circle of the city wall.
Li Bangyan dragged his feet and finally left the city and headed north.
Two hundred miles north of Tokyo, Zheng Zhi's army of nearly 40,000 finally began to move south, with all the grain and grass supplies, the armor was cleaned, and a lot of banners were made.
The matter in Beijing was spread in a short time, Zheng Zhi, who was riding on the horse, heard the news, and his face was full of smiles, although he didn't expect it, but it was not unexpected, Zhao Ji was still that Zhao Ji after all.
This matter is obviously beneficial to Zheng Zhi, and the young Zhao Huan, relatively speaking, seems to be better to handle. Among them, there is also the problem of Zhao Huan and Zhao Ji competing for power and profit.
If Zhao Huan can solve this matter by himself, when Zhao Ji returns to Beijing, where will he still have any authority at all. Zhao Huan hadn't thought too much about it at this time, and he would inevitably think about this question later.
A Taishang Emperor, a new Emperor. Who has the final say between the two in the end is to see who can calm down Zheng Zhi's anti-thief matter.
Zheng Zhi knows a thing or two about history, and knows that Zhao Huan, who has ascended the throne, cannot return to Zhao Ji, so he seems to have become a key point. Zheng Zhi, who has become a key point, must have more capital.
