Chapter 710: Jingkang Chaos

Looking at Ah Jiu's blurred back, Zhu Lian was a little stunned, after so many years, hasn't this girl come out of what happened back then?

When the years hazy my eyes, I gave my eyes to the earth, the days flew by, the people who should grow up grew up, and the people who should grow old also grew old. The wind doesn't stop, the clouds still move, and how many dreams can stay here. Hebei is in chaos, Guanzhong is still prosperous, in the main hall, listening to Zhang Yi talk about what happened in Hebei recently, hey, as expected, after the Jurchens occupied the Daimyo's mansion, they directly captured Anyang County in the west, and at this time, the purpose of the Jurchens was already very obvious. It is to accumulate strength, wait for time to cross the Yellow River, and the front of the army is directed at Kaifeng Bianliang City on the south bank of the Yellow River. Bianliang, the most prosperous place in the ancient Tokyo Dynasty, finally ushered in a military disaster.

For many people, the military disaster is terrible, especially the people of Bianliang, how many years have they not known what the military disaster is, let alone the high-ranking official Zhao Ji?

In the palace, in a large hall, there are three Qing Daozun, the hall is burning with curling smoke, Zhao Ji is dressed in a green robe, kneeling on the cushion, his expression is solemn and solemn. If he was still a little hesitant before, then now, he has made up his mind that the throne is more important than his life. It's ridiculous to say, every emperor will have a strong arrogance, that is, he would rather die than obey, but he can't see this arrogance in Zhao Ji, he only sees cowardice and fear, Zhao Huan is cowardly, but Zhao Huan's cowardice is harmless to people and animals, and Zhao Ji's cowardice will kill countless people. Cai You's words are still in his ears, the Jurchens are still moving, but they may cross the Yellow River at any time, and it is important to escape.

At the right time. Yang Lian trotted into the hall. Ear canal. "Official, I just got the news that Liang Shijie gave up the Daimyo Mansion and went to Guanzhong to join King Qin and Zhao Yougong!"

One sentence ignited the anger in Zhao Ji's heart, Liang Shijie can go anywhere, he shouldn't go to Guanzhong to seek refuge with Zhao Yougong. The thought of Liang Shijie, who was deeply favored by the emperor, took refuge in his nephew, was as disgusting as eating a dead mouse. "Good for you, Liang Shijie, I treat you well, you actually did such a thing. And that Cai Jing, how did he manage his family and manage such a white-eyed wolf? ”

Zhao Ji was furious, what is the relationship between Liang Shijie and Cai Jing, he was inevitably angry with Cai Jing, and after thinking about it, Zhao Ji issued the last holy decree before his Zen position, "Yang Lian." Intentional, tell Cai Jing. I miss his old age, so let's go home and retire. As for the affairs of the DPRK, let's give it to Cai You, Cai Ying is young, how to convince the public? ”

A simple sentence represents the end of Cai Jing's career, when the holy decree arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cai Jing seemed very calm, but Cai Jing was still very excited, especially when all the power fell into the hands of the eldest brother, it was even more a nest. Cai Jing stopped Cai Yan who wanted to make trouble in time, and respectfully thanked the emperor. Cai Jing is a smart person, he knows the truth of Mingzhe to protect himself, leaving Bianliang is also a good thing, on the one hand, he should enjoy the blessings of Qingfu when he is old, on the other hand, he doesn't know when the Jurchens fought the Yellow River, so it's better to leave and avoid it.

In one day, Cai Xiang, who used to be the most beautiful, fell, but the people of Bianliang were not too happy, because they were not only facing Cai Laohu, but also Jurchen barbarians. However, Wang Hao and Li Bangyan are still very happy, Cai Jing said goodbye to his hometown, and it should be their turn to be the prime minister, but not long after they were happy, they heard that the official family asked Cai You to temporarily act as Cai Jing's responsible government affairs, and the two of them almost didn't get angry.

In the past two days, Bianliang City was particularly unstable, first Cai Jing fell, the Jurchens went south, and then there was an explosive news that came out, when today's son Zhao Ji felt unwell and placed Zen in the crown prince Zhao Huan, succeeded to the throne on the twenty-ninth day of the month, and changed the year name to Jingkang.

Zen position, what a great feat, but when I heard the news, everyone smiled bitterly, which is also too hasty. Zhao Guan's family is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, will he feel unwell? Hey, the official family wants to temporarily throw the throne to the crown prince, so that the prince can lead the people of Bianliang to resist the Jurchens who may come at any time, as for the official family itself, find a reason to leave Bianliangbei.

When the holy decree was issued, Zhao Huan's face could not see the slightest joy, and when Yang Lian and the ministers left, he showed a little wicked smile, and muttered to himself, "Father, father, you look up to Haier so much, the child can't let you down." ”

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Zhao Huan came to the main hall, the whole ceremony was not grand, maybe it was a hurry, maybe it was Zhao Ji deliberately. But this is nothing to Zhao Huan, as long as he can ascend to that throne, the future affairs will not be something that others can control. Chinese martial arts, how many people really take Zhao Huan seriously?

Know, no one can afford him Zhao Huan, just look at the disdain in the eyes of these people, just wait, everyone here has to get out one by one, and none of Zhao Ji's people will be left. The throne, everyone desires, when he saw Zhao Huan walking towards the dragon chair step by step, Zhao Kai had mixed feelings in his heart, he was not convinced, he was not convinced at all, why did his father want to give up the throne to the imperial brother. The eldest brother is too incompetent, doesn't letting him be the emperor to give away the good fortune to others?

With the sound of the mountain roaring and the tsunami, Zhao Ji stepped down from the throne, and another young man sat up. Jingkang is coming, but the word Jingkang is not glory, but humiliation, whoever becomes the emperor at this time, Jingkang's shame will be worn on whose head.

At the end of the cumbersome ceremony, Zhao Huan returned to the harem, and when he saw the new son of heaven, Chai Keyan didn't get up and didn't salute, but when today's son poured a cup of tea with his own hands and brought it to Chai Keyan, "Keyan, you're right, these people are looking forward to a certain family stepping down, and it's really their hearts to be punished." ”

Chai Keyan skimmed Zhao Huan, and Zhao Huan's tone was a lot more excited today, "His Royal Highness the Prince, you are now an official, you want to be called me, understand?" Rest assured, it doesn't matter what these people think, it's what you do! ”

Chai Keyan is not the slightest respect, what about the emperor, as long as she Chai Keyan is willing, Zhao Huan's throne will be replaced by Zhao Kai at any time, without her Chai Keyan and Heng Wangfu's support, where does Zhao Huan get the power? Zhao Huan didn't know how to be the emperor at all, and what she had to do was to borrow Zhao Huan's hand to create the situation she wanted. Let Zhao Huan sit down, and whispered, "What you have to do now." The first is Liwei. Let everyone know about your deposits. Let everyone know that you are now the Emperor. In addition, the official family cannot leave the capital, and if the official family leaves, Bianliang City will be finished. ”

"Ah" Zhao Huan can still understand the words in front, it is necessary to establish authority and control the officials of the imperial court first, but how to establish authority, and not let his father leave Beijing, this seems to be unlikely. Besides. Leaving my father in the capital isn't it asking for trouble for myself?

"But what's the point? If my father doesn't leave, how can I become this emperor? Zhao Huan looked at Chai Keyan with some suspicion, and always felt that Chai Keyan seemed to have an ulterior motive in his heart. Chai Keyan smiled, and he didn't care about Zhao Huan in general, "Stupid, when the Son of Heaven escapes from the capital, who do you expect to protect Bianliang, the morale is gone." There is nothing left, do you want to be a son of heaven? ”

"Hello. You have a point, but how can you stop him from leaving, I can't force him to stay, right? Zhao Huan snorted angrily, he was really too lazy to think about it, he was the emperor, and he had to face his father's face, how could he feel good?

Chai Keyan's beautiful eyes were full of brilliance and calmness, didn't he just stop Zhao Ji from leaving? It's really too simple, on the same day, there were a lot of rumors circulating in the market, some saying that the official family gave up the throne in order to escape for their lives, and at this time they had already led the palace concubines and belongings out of the palace. Others say that the official family has already surrendered to the Jurchens, and this time they left just to lure the Jurchens into Beijing.

How absurd the rumors are, but after all, there are still people who believe that the people don't care so much, at least one thing can be determined, and there will be no good things if the official family leaves Bianliang. So, at the instigation of some people, the people of Bianliang blocked the eight gates of Bianliang, and noisily asked the official Zhao Ji to stay. The people of Bianliang made a lot of trouble, which Zhao Ji and Cai You did not expect, and in the face of this situation, everyone was at a loss. At this moment, the new emperor Zhao Huan came to Bianhe Street, and in front of hundreds of people, the new emperor shouted righteously, "Most of the rumors in the market are misinformation, as the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, how can he do that kind of escape, my children of the imperial family, should live and die with Bianliang!" If anyone dares to escape, the people of the Great Song Dynasty can share and eat it. ”

Zhao Huan's words were ruthless enough, he took Zhao Ji at once, helpless, Zhao Ji suffered a dumb loss, no matter what, is it against hundreds of thousands of angry Bianliang soldiers and civilians?

throne, suddenly Zhao Ji regretted it a little, he found that since Zhao Huan ascended the throne, the whole person has changed.

The most relieving thing Zhao Huan has done in his life is to kidnap his father, and he wants to leave Bianliang City easily, but there is no door, why is he Zhao Huan a cheap embryo, so he has to accompany Bianliang City to live and die? Zhao Huan was even more glad that he listened to Chai Keyan's words, this step was the right one, not only to trap his father Zhao Ji with the people of Bianliang, but more importantly, to get through the matter of guΓ², and wantonly won the hearts of the army. The Bianliang military and civilians, especially the Tokyo Forbidden Army, but there are many people who have complaints about today's officials, and the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty have been defeated repeatedly in foreign battles, among which the credit of the Zhao official family is indispensable. Soldiers know why they can't fight, but who dares to say? This time, it's a good thing to give the official Zen position to His Royal Highness the Prince, but he still wants to leave Bianliang and live a happy life in the south of the Yangtze River, it's really too much, you don't guard the capital of the Song Dynasty, who will keep it?

The first thing Zhao Huan did when he came to power was to trap the official Zhao Ji with the people of Bianliang, which made the military and the people very happy, and almost half of the people of the Tokyo Forbidden Army sided with Zhao Huan. After all, the Great Song Dynasty still respects orthodoxy, and now that Zhao Huan is the emperor, most people still recognize Zhao Huan, as for Zhao Ji, although he is not a phoenix with falling hair, it is not as good as a chicken, but it is impossible to be as arrogant as before. After Zhao Huan finished doing these things, he was still planning a big thing, that is, to rectify the previous officialdom, and now that Cai Jing has left the capital, the rest should be Wang Huang. The reason why Wang Hao was chosen to start was also Chai Keyan's arrangement, Wang Hao has a lot of power in the DPRK and China, and his influence is not small, if he can win Wang Hao, it will be of great benefit to consolidate the prestige of the new emperor. However, if you want to move Wang Huang, you must also get the help of one person, and this person is Master Li of the Chu Palace.

Now Master Li is the spokesperson of the Qin Palace's Mansion in the capital, if he can get the support of the Chu Palace, and wants to move to Wang Huang, there will be a lot less resistance. The officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty has acquiesced in one thing, that is, don't go against the Chu Wangfu, offend the officials, at most lose the official and resign, but if you offend the people of the Chu Wangfu, there is only a dead end. His Royal Highness the King of Qin asked the Li family to stay in the capital, making it clear that he was transmitting the voice of Guanzhong, so the officials in the capital would pay attention to the movements of the Chu Wangfu whenever they encountered a major event. Many people are in line with the Chu Palace. It's also about avoiding making the wrong decision. offended the Chu Wangfu and ended up pitting himself.

Zhao Huan is determined not to go to the Chu Palace, first of all, he is now an official family, and he always has to put up some shelves, and secondly, the Chu Palace's Mansion is ruled by women, and it is inconvenient for him to go as a man. After some discussion in the palace, Chai Keyan finally went to the Chu Palace. Since Zhao Yougong left Bianliang, he has never been to the Chu Palace. Even the western section of North Street is rarely visited, the year has come, the rumbling sound of bamboo cannons echoes in the ears, and there are big lanterns hanging in front of the palace of the king of Chu. Wrapped in a white slur, the cold wind blew, with a little bit of moisture, the sun shone on the delicate and cold jade face, somehow, the cold plum-like delicate bloomed a little smile, no matter how much he hated Zhao Yougong. But the bits and pieces of the past with him will always come to mind, and there have been fights. There has been humor, there have been ups and downs. The big waves wash the sand, how many heroes are washed away, the tide recedes, and the people who stay on the shore look up in all directions.

There is no one in the Chu Palace's mansion who does not know the Lord of Cheshire, and everyone respects this county lord very much, just kidding, fools know what the relationship between His Royal Highness and the county lord is. Menzi ran in to spread the word, but heard that the Li family led Zhilan to the side courtyard. Zhao Yougong said about the greenhouse before, he didn't take it seriously, but Li Shishi remembered it in his heart, at the end of this autumn in the courtyard to get a small flower shed, the flower shed is covered by white paper, supported by wooden shelves, although it is far worse than the plastic greenhouse in later generations, but at least it can play a role. Whenever the weather is good, the window on the top of the trellis will open, and he was not hopeful, but he did not expect to really grow winter flowers. Zhilan accompanied the teacher to repair those flowers and plants, and in the past two years, she has been with the teacher for a long time, and she has gotten along a lot, at the beginning, she always felt that Li everyone's personality was a little cold, and it was difficult to get close, but slowly, I found out that Li was actually a very good person.

"Lady, the official family is leaving Beijing recently, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has left him behind!" Zhilan said casually, the master stroked the fine sweat on his forehead, and smiled thoughtfully, "No matter what you do, Zhao Huan can do this, and eighty percent of it is also the credit of the county lord." At the beginning, I felt that it was impossible for Zhao Ji to leave, if he could go, the one in the palace would have run out in a hurry. ”

Hearing what the teacher said, Zhilan suddenly realized, no, why did she forget about that person? Liu Xinyuan is not a simple woman, she gave birth to a child for Her Royal Highness, and she is thinking about how to live a good life, how can she go to Jiangnan with Zhao Ji? So, if Zhao Ji could really go, Liu Xinyuan would have hurried over to discuss countermeasures. It seems that Liu Xinyuan has long known that Zhao Ji can't leave, and the women in this palace are all ghostly.

After chatting for a while, a servant came to report that the Lord of Cheshire had visited. How long has it been, the Chu Wangfu has rarely moved around with the Cheshire Lord, and now the Cheshire Lord has suddenly come, which is really a bit unexpected. After wiping it, the master waved his hand and said softly, "Take the county lord to the front hall first, and I'll go over in a while!" ”

After the servant went down, Zhilan frowned and was quite worried, "Lady, the Lord of Cheshire doesn't have any good intentions for our Chu Palace, why is she coming now?" ”

"What are you afraid of, this is the Chu Palace, are you afraid that she will not be able to mess up?" The teacher is very calm, she is not afraid of Chai Keyan doing anything, she is afraid that Chai Keyan will not do anything. Soon came to the front hall, in the elegant living room, Chai Keyan was sipping tea comfortably, and when he heard footsteps, he just raised his head lightly. Looking at the dignified and luxurious Master Li in front of him, Chai Keyan also had to admire, Zhao's eyes are really vicious, how many women are in the Qin Palace, he only chooses to leave his master in Beijing, how many people laughed at Zhao Someone was dazzled by beauty. But now, those who laughed at Master Li have gone.

Yes, Master Li was born in the dust and has a lowly status, except for beauty and talent, I really can't see what she has to manage the affairs of the Chu Palace. Everyone doubted it, but Master Li did it, in the past two years, the influence of the Chu Wangfu in Tokyo has not only not decreased, but has continued to rise, and now, the Chu Wangfu has become the vane of Bianliang officialdom.

The master bowed generously, lifted her skirt and sat on another chair, if it was before, she would have felt a little inferior and would sit in the guest seat, but now, she has been in charge of the size of the Chu Wangfu for a long time, and she has already opened up a lot.

"County Lord, I don't know what you are doing in your busy schedule, what are you doing in the Chu Palace? But what happened? "The master is straight to the point, there is no verbosity, and now His Royal Highness is not in Beijing, so it is better to talk to Chai Keyan as simple as possible.

Chai Keyan didn't expect Li to be so direct, he was slightly stunned, and he didn't hide it, "Dare to let the lady know that this time I came here for Wang Huang." Now the official family wants to take Wang Huang's sins, but because Wang Huang's power in the court is too great, so I hope that the lady can support it with the honor of the Chu Palace. ”

The teacher asked Chai Keyan to speak directly, but he didn't expect Chai Keyan to be really direct enough, and his words were already very clear, that is, to use the influence of the Chu Palace, to avoid more resistance. It's nothing to rectify Wang Huang, but the master thought about it, and said with a flat expression, "County Lord, Wang Huang's influence in the officialdom is not small, it's not easy to take him down, according to it, with the relationship between the county lord and my family officials, the county lord begged for words, naturally he can't refuse, just help the county lord, what's the benefit of my Chu Wangfu?" ”

Chai Keyan squinted and glanced at Master Li, and scolded secretly in his heart, how good the Li family was in the past, but now with Zhao, it has become so shameless. The support of the Chu Wangfu is just a gesture, but it opens its mouth to ask for benefits. However, Chai Keyan couldn't help but give it, thought about it for a while, and said with a wry smile, "Half of the wealth checked, the Chu Wangfu accounts for half." ”

"So, thank you Lord Shire!" The teacher happily agreed, and after talking about business, it seemed a little embarrassing, but Chai Keyan didn't want to face Zhao Yougong's woman for a moment, because there was a scar in her heart that was faintly painful. The master wanted to stay with Chai Keyan for a light meal, but Chai Keyan found a reason to leave, stepped on the winter day, and came to the front of the house little by little, before leaving, Chai Keyan turned around and asked, "How is he?" ”

"The county lord is worried, the officials are very good, and it won't be long before I return to Beijing!" Shishi's sentence is a pun, that is, to tell SΓΉ Chai Keyan, His Royal Highness Zhao's career is smooth, don't look at Zhao Huan and Chai Keyan at the moment, but this Tokyo Bianliang City will have to return to the hands of the Chu King Mansion sooner or later. Chai Keyan also understood what the master meant secretly, but she was not annoyed, she just sneered with her mouth cocked, "Remind him, the sword and gun have no eyes, thunder and lightning, maybe something will happen one day." ”

"Lord Xie is concerned!" In the face of Chai Keyan's provocation, the master looked very calm, and waited until Chai Keyan was gone, before he smiled bitterly and shook his head.

How much Chai Keyan resents Zhao Yougong, only she knows. When he returned to the palace and talked about the results of the discussion, he saw Zhao Huan smiling happily, as long as the Chu Wangfu came forward to support, Wang Huang's fall would be a certainty. Looking at Zhao Huan, who was a little carried away, Chai Keyan frowned, and couldn't help but strike, "My Royal Highness the Prince, are you too happy?" Don't forget, your biggest enemy now is not Wang Huang, not the Chu Palace, but the Jurchens in the north, do you think you can hold on to the current Bianliang City? ”

When the words fell, Zhao Huan's smile stopped abruptly, and he glanced at Chai Keyan with a little hatred, this woman must have done it on purpose. But I have to say that these words are very reasonable, how can Tokyo soldiers and horses defend Bianliang City alone? What ideas could Zhao Huan have, he finally looked at Chai Keyan and asked, "County Lord, what should we do now, or should we move the capital?" ”

"Idiot" Chai Keyan skimmed his face with some disgust, and scolded unceremoniously, Zhao Huan is still the same Zhao Huan, essentially no different from Zhao Ji. How stupid must it be to come up with the idea of moving the capital? What a huge project the relocation of the capital, how can it be said that the relocation can be moved? Moreover, if you give up Bianliang, the little prestige that you have accumulated with great difficulty will be over. With a long exhalation, I had to say carefully, "The only way now is to borrow the strength of the national army!" (To be continued......)
