Chapter 116: The Emperor

Oh, as soon as the official family ascends the throne. There are new people who forget the old people, and we old things should dig their own pits and bury them by ourselves? Besides, Xu Wei led a group of township soldiers to block the Jurchens, isn't this a slap in the face of the forbidden army? He wants to run up like Yao Pingzhong, and you see how the current group of soldiers will rectify him. So he deliberately suppressed Xu Wei. ”

Mrs. He listened attentively, then pouted and said: "We women don't understand these military affairs, and we don't want to know" After that, she got up and walked out.

"Madam, ...... that matter," He Guan hurriedly asked.

Mrs. He didn't stop: "At least wait for him to be promoted to the sixth grade." ”

He Guan listened, this matter can't be delayed! Now that Xu Zhang has entered Beijing and become the deputy commander of the Infantry Division, Xu Wei has the title of 'with imperial equipment', and the appointment of the media is indispensable. The official family wantonly purged the old ministers of the emperor, and a large number of young talents will inevitably be employed. A young man like Xu Wei, who has not been in the office for a long time and has no mountain, is the target of the official family's snares, and the future is simply iron-clad, what are you hesitating about?

I was about to open my mouth to stop, but I heard my wife shouting outside: "Shuying, what are you doing here?" ”

My heart moved. When I ran to look, I saw my daughter looking embarrassed, standing outside with a red face. Hang your head and say no. Isn't Mo listening to his parents' conversation?

"No rules, go back!" Mrs. He stretched her face and reprimanded loudly.

He Shuying sighed, lowered her head and turned to leave. Mrs. He watched from behind, and suddenly sighed: "This girl, who has been chattering recently, didn't know which tendon moved a few days ago, so she persuaded me to find a mother-in-law for September and get married quickly." ”

He Guan smacked his mouth like a toothache, looked at his wife's back, thought about it, and said tentatively: "I said madam, it's been some years since I arrived in the house in September, how can I still marry an old girl in my twenties?" It's better to find a good family for him to marry, don't delay her, and it can be regarded as an explanation for your dead sister, right? ”

Knowing his wife Mo Ruofu, He Guan knows very well why his wife is reluctant to marry September. Back then, his brother-in-law died on the battlefield of Zhengfangla, he was a six-rank military minister, and according to the system, the court gave him a very generous pension. After the death of the aunt, she entrusted her daughter to her wife, and she sent someone to pick her up at that time. And it was not only September that followed, but also that pension. My aunt left a last word before her death, this money. Give half of it as a dowry when she gets married in September. That's what got into trouble......

"Do I want you to teach? That girl has to be able to get married! What do you mean? Co-authored me abusing her? All these years in the house, eat me and wear me, if we hadn't taken her in, I still don't know where to starve! "Mrs. He seemed to be stepped on by someone and suddenly soared! A face that was not pure was twisted into a ball, hideous and terrifying!

The dignified He Bushuai, a second-class member of the imperial court, was so frightened by his wife's roar that he shrank his neck and even claimed to be. But I don't think so, will no one want it in September? That girl is sensible, smart, kind, and born to be peugeot. And according to the regulations, her father sacrificed his life for the country, and in addition to a huge pension, he also allowed a son to be an official. But September is an only daughter, so she has to wait until she gets married, and let her husband fill this gap. In other words, whoever marries until September will be lucky.

Mrs. He counted down for a while, and then left angrily. Only He Guan was left behind and sighed repeatedly. The husband is sluggish......

In April of the first year of Jingkang of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Huan summoned the generals in the army in the lecture hall. The three Western army heroes of Chong, Yao, and Zhe all attended, and Liu Yanqing, who was demoted due to the defeat in the battle of Liao, was also drafted. What is surprising is that Xu Zhang, the new deputy commander of the infantry military department, is also there. At this summons, the officials did not hesitate to praise and vigorously praised the generals for their achievements in defending the country over the years. He also said that the national crisis is at the head, and it is the time for the people who lead the troops to serve the country in a bloody battle, and ask the generals not to be careless.

Emperor Zhao Ji fled south to Jianghuai, and many ministers in important positions in the court followed. Such as Tong Guan and others, who have been in charge of military and political power for decades, have intertwined forces and are difficult to eliminate. North of the Yellow River, all roads, prefectures, prefectures, and counties have the old history of these people. Historically, when the Jin army invaded, the defenders in the north who were originally attached to Tong Guan and others simply abandoned the city and fled because they were not clear about the situation between Korea and China and were worried about being calculated by the new monarch, or defected and surrendered. Therefore, Zhao Huan tried his best to win over the Western Army. First, there is no doubt that the combat strength of the Western Army is that of the Song Army. Second, Tong Guan presided over the military in the northwest that year, reused eunuchs, and divided the western army, which aroused the disgust of Chongshidao and others. Now, he has been promoted one after another, hoping that the Western Army can support him wholeheartedly, without being affected by Emperor Zhao Ji and that group of old ministers.

This time, the general was summoned. Regarded by the ministers as a precursor to the officials' determination to be tough on Jin, it caused a strong backlash from them, and on the second day of the summons, Li Bangyan and others wrote a letter, although they did not explicitly point the finger at the recent summoning of the general. However, he said that with the current situation, it was the best policy to negotiate peace with the Jin people, and suggested that the emperor agree to the conditions of the Jurchens as soon as possible, offer a huge amount of New Year's coins, and cede the land of the three towns to the Jin to show goodwill. Otherwise, it angered the Jurchens, and I am afraid that they will raise troops to the south again. In the Great Song Dynasty, military ministers could not intervene in political affairs, so although the elders of the army such as the master were very angry, they were helpless. Fortunately, at this time, Li Gang, Zhang Suo and others spoke for them, denouncing Li Bangyan and his ilk for losing power and humiliating the country, and losing the face of the Great Song Dynasty. Suggest the emperor to immediately arrange an anti-gold plan! Li Gang even played Zhao Huan according to the strategy of Xu Wei that day, and suggested that the troops of Beijing, Shaanxi, and Shandong should be gathered to defend various key points and clear the wilderness to prevent the Jin army from coming again.

Zhao Huan didn't react. Let the ministers quarrel with each other. At this time, his main focus was on inviting the Emperor Taishang back to Beijing. Song Huan, the envoy of Jianghuai Jingzhejiang Zhulu, was Cai You's sworn friend, Zhao Huan originally planned to remove him, reassign his henchman, Yin Nieshan, the original Kaifeng Mansion, to replace him, and give him a secret mission to execute Tong Guan. But later, Li Gang urgently played, pointing out that the risk of doing so was huge, and in case of failure, what should the old ministers do if they hijacked the emperor to set up another court in the south?

Zhao Huan thought so. After Song Huan returned to Tokyo, he had a long talk with him for two days. There is no way to know what the two gentlemen and ministers talked about, but then Song Huan was again appointed as the envoy of Jianghuai and Jingzhejiang and returned to Jianghuai.

After Song Huan met Zhao Ji, he tried his best to persuade him to return to Tokyo. He also said that Tokyo is now in chaos, the people are in panic all day long, and all the ministries of the imperial court are almost paralyzed. The hundreds of thousands of Qinwang's divisions did not have a unified order, and the officials couldn't hold it down at all. As soon as Zhao Ji heard this, his heart began to liven.

Jiang is old and spicy, although he is forced by the situation to be located in the prince. But after decades of wise governance in this world, if his son wants to take full control, how can he complete it overnight? Now that Tokyo is in such a mess, I'm afraid that I will have to go back to clean up the mess.

But Zhao Ji is not a fool, he ran to the south, and the ministers who followed him were mostly called "six thieves" and "ten evils" and their henchmen by the people, and they knew that they could not tolerate the new monarch, so they chose to abandon Beijing and run away. What role can I play if I go back as a bare pole emperor? These old ministers are now grasshoppers on the same rope as themselves, what should their son do with them?

Song Huan immediately took out an edict to deal lightly with Tong Guan, Gao Yu, Cai Jing and other ministers who followed the emperor and fled south. In the edict, after Zhao Huan dealt with those who had too much grievances, the punishment of others was a mere formality, and they were not even investigated. Corrupt and bend the law, form a party for personal gain, abandon the country and flee, divide the court, and still have merit!

Under Song Huan's strong encouragement, Zhao Ji finally embarked on the road back to Beijing. In fact, there is no way for him not to go back, because his life in Jianghuai is almost unbearable.

First, the Jianghuai region has always been the most severely affected by the "Huashi Gang", and this is how the Fangla Uprising came about. In the process of the forbidden army's suppression of Fang La, the forbidden army, which was rotten to the bone, actually killed civilians and pretended to be a military merit. After the Emperor Taishang fled here, not only did he not appear the scene of the people burning incense to cover the road, he went to Yangzhou Stone Pagoda Courtyard to visit, and the abbot monk of the temple actually mocked him. Why don't you drag the stone tower away and act as a flower stone gang?

Second, no matter how many powerful ministers there are around Zhao Ji, the edict of abdication is written in black and white, and it is clear that now Zhao Huan is the son of the Great Song Dynasty! Therefore, although Zhao Ji was entrenched in Jianghuai, the magistrates in this area did not completely buy him. For example, the governor of Suzhou, after receiving Zhao Ji's order to transfer 100,000 yuan, only gave 5,000 yuan. To put it mildly, Zhao Huan rewarded Xu Wei with more money than that.

Third, and the most fatal one, this time Zhao Ji fled south, and Tong Guan fought hard to protect him. And what Tong Guan relied on was the tens of thousands of Changjie troops. At the beginning, in order to divide the Western Army, he recruited tall young men from the northwest as soldiers, known as Chang Jie. Enjoy the highest treatment, with the best equipment, the combat power is extraordinary. However, these Changjie soldiers were in the Jianghuai region, and they were not accustomed to the water and soil, and the people's minds were returned, so that complaints arose, and Tong Guan could hardly suppress them. Zhao Ji knew very well that without the protection of these tens of thousands of elite troops, he would not be able to get along in Jianghuai.

Therefore, the reason why Zhao Ji decided to return to Tokyo was due to Zhao Huan's painstaking arrangement, but it was more of Zhao Ji's own unspeakable secrets. When Zhao Huan received the recital that the Emperor Taishang was about to return to the capital in Tokyo, he was overjoyed and overjoyed. I thought that from now on, the south would be carefree. At that time, we will be free to concentrate on dealing with the situation in the north.

But the accident happened at this time, and when Zhao Ji walked to Nanjing Yingtianfu, he suddenly stopped. Only sent Empress Taishang Zheng back to Beijing alone. And he himself let out the rumors, and used the excuse of fleeing Tokyo to "burn incense in the Shangqing Palace in Bozhou". But in the end, he didn't go to Bozhou, but to Luoyang!

Zhao Huan was shocked when he heard the news. Urgently summoned the minister to discuss countermeasures, and someone suggested that it would not work if it was soft, but it would be better to come hard! Long pain is better than short pain, the emperor must stay in peace in the city of Tokyo, and must not hang out outside. But in this way, the strong enemy is current, and the father and son are opposed. The Jurchens are eyeing each other, and the Great Song Dynasty itself is fighting a civil war, isn't it that the relatives are painful, and the enemies are happy?
