Chapter 127: Spoiling the situation

Suddenly, the central minister was ordered to withdraw from the Praetorian Guard and go to Shu Huiyi. There is no way to know, but judging from the angry attitude of the officials, the matter must not be small. Eager to find out the situation, fortunately, the rulers who had a wave in the court sent people to Mu Zhuwang, hoping that Xu Wei could be a little more eloquent, so that they would not say the wrong thing in the court and stand in the wrong position.

But when their people rushed to the Jingsui camp, they suddenly found that this place had been controlled. The front division of the palace commanded the people of the prince to guard the various passages, and even if you are the prime minister, you are not allowed to pass. The palace marshal Wang Tai Lieutenant. Mingzong Chu. Although he is a military minister, even the prime ministers who are civil officials are polite when they see him. Because this person is today's son's maternal uncle, as soon as the official family ascends the throne, he will naturally become noble. For such a godly action of the officials, the ministers were discouraged and could only wait for news in Tokyo.

Jingsui camp is mainly engaged in Dazhai. Outside a military tent, Xu Wei led two deputy commanders, Wang Yan and Zhang Qing, accompanied by several people to inspect several corpses parked on the ground. One man was nearly fifty years old. Wearing a purple uniform means that its level is not low. In particular, there is a gold belt embroidered with a spherical pattern tied around his waist, which is thicker than the twenty-two royal fairy flower belts that Xu Wei tied, which shows the special identity of this person. This kind of belt is called the "Golden Coral Head Belt" and weighs twenty-five taels, and is only given to the "Erfu" Wenchen. Because Zhongshu Province is in the ban, close to the emperor, and it is the prime minister's daily office, known as the "government" Privy Council in charge of all affairs, and has the power of soldiers, and is called the "Privy Council" The two governments are in charge of civil and military power, and they contain each other.

This person's surname is Geng, his name is Nanzhong, and he is a five-year jinshi of Shenzong Yuanfeng. This person can be called Zhao Huan's absolute cronies. He has been the crown prince and has been in the East Palace for a whole year. Zhao Huan ascended the throne, and he naturally ascended to heaven. is now a servant of the door, just because before he entered the East Palace, he had been a criminal officer on Guangnan East Road and was familiar with the affairs of prison. That's when he was sent to investigate. Looking at the six corpses parked on the ground, all the officials behind him hid their faces and changed their faces, but Geng Nanzhong's face was like a plug without the slightest expression. Crouched down and examined a few corpses. There were knife wounds, arrow wounds, and even blunt objects hitting the head and killing the dead, which was shocking.

The adjutants behind him all persuaded him. This thing is unlucky, and Xiang Gong, as the minister of the ruling state, should be avoided. Geng Nanzhong was unmoved. Reaching out and squeezing the wound on Thursday's corpse. Xu Wei and the others didn't notice any difference. Wang Yan's face changed, and this time he met an expert.

"What kind of device caused this wound?" After a while, Xiao Geng Nanzhong got up and wiped his hands and asked. The man spoke very interestingly, almost humming through his nose.

Wang Yan glanced at Xu Wei and replied, "Maybe it's a secret weapon." ”

"Hidden weapon!" Geng Nanzhong suddenly raised his voice and alarmed the adjutant behind him. "Who put the dark green child with such an accurate head? Straight to the throat? Speaking of which, this little pair of seemingly cloudy eyes stared at Wang Yan tightly. Unless. This man is standing for you to beat! ”

Although Wang Yan panicked, he didn't get out of order, glanced at Thursday's body, and said, "There is no shortage of people in the army who have special skills, I think so."

"Think so? If you think yes with one sentence, you can fool the past? And I ask you, who killed this man? Geng Nanzhong was pressing forward step by step, and even the adjutants who came with him were surprised, what was Geng Xiang doing? How can you embarrass Xu Jiu's people? There is an official who worships Zuo Si's advice, has a good relationship with Xu Shao, and has the intention to protect Xu Jiu, and is trying to persuade Geng Nanzhong not to be like this. Before he could speak, he stopped drinking. No more must be said.

Wang Yan felt bad. After thinking about it for a while, he said helplessly: "The one who fights and kills the thief is the seventh soldier of my department." "Words." Geng Nanzhong put his hands behind his back. Leng snorted at the sky.

Wang Yan frowned slightly. When he looked at Xu Wei, he saw him nodding, so he ordered: "Come here, let Li Guan, the seventh capital of the curtain, come over." ”

After waiting for a while, all the officials did not speak, Geng Nanzhong was a confidant of the Son of Heaven, and he would rather offend Li Gang and others in the right power than other crimes. Li Guan came with more than a dozen soldiers, and saw that there were many people wearing official robes at the scene, and looked at Xu Wei. I wanted to bow. The latter took the lead: "This is the squire Geng Xiang." Something to ask you. You have to answer well. ”

Geng Nanzhong heard this. He stared at Xu Wei sideways, and then looked at Li Guan, and when he saw his obscene description, he didn't like it at first, and asked in an extremely disdainful tone: "Benxiang asks you, who killed this person?" ”

"It was slain by the hands of his own son." Li Guan replied.

"What kind of weapon?" Geng Nanzhong's tone of interrogating the prisoners made the officers of the Jingsui battalion very unhappy.

"Hidden Arrows." Li Guan also seemed to be a little overwhelmed by this kind of interrogation.

Hearing this, Geng Nanzhong's eyebrows and beard furrowed, and he snorted: "This township Yong camp is a township Yong camp in the end, and all the three sects and nine streams are recruited in."

Let me ask you, do you have eyes and strike your throat? Or did this person just not move, standing and letting you beat you to death? When Xu Wei heard this, his heart was already bright. This person is not here to investigate, he is purely here to stir up trouble. But what is the purpose of his exit?

"Since the Jin army invaded the south, he tried hard to negotiate peace, and when he ceded Erzheng and was puzzled, the well next to him wanted to say the old... The chief of the words reminded in a low voice. I see! Once this matter is confirmed, there is no second way for Song and Jin to go but to war. This naturally went against the ideas of the ministers of the Lord and faction, so Geng Nanzhong used the name of investigation to disrupt the situation. But didn't he think that even if there was no incident and Song Jin successfully reached peace, would the Jurchens stop because they got the two mansions of Hejian and Zhongshan? Moreover, if the Jurchens' ambitions were only to land two provinces and some money, why would they send people to spy on Tokyo's defense? These people can achieve the position of the ruling minister, not to mention talent, they should always have knowledge, right? Can't understand something so obvious? What kind of goods are in power in this Great Song Dynasty?

In fact, it is not that Geng Nanzhong and other ministers of the Lord and the faction have paste in their heads. Just because they were afraid of war first, they thought that the Song army could not defeat the Jin army, and they would definitely lose the battle. Secondly, these people are lucky, thinking that as long as they give the Jurchens some desserts, the other party will always stop. Again, even if the Jin State is ambitious and has to put the Great Song Dynasty to death, there must be a process, the territory of the Great Song Dynasty is so vast that the Jurchens swallow it in one bite. I'm afraid that there is still a lack of good teeth. Let's take one step at a time, there are still some years to last. In case of angering the Jin Kingdom and starting a full-scale war, the comfortable days will finally come to an end. In the end, the question comes down to political struggle. Xu Churen and Li Gang and other ministers of the main battle faction are currently in control of the government, although he is a confidant of the official family, but there are only a few positions of prime minister, Xu and Li do not come down, how can he go up?

Based on the above set of causes, even if he knew in his heart that the evidence of this matter was ironclad, he would selectively ignore it and have to muddy the waters.

At that end, Geng Nanzhong was still pestering in every way, asking Li Guan to demonstrate the situation of the battle that day, and then saying that the Jingsui camp was hiding filth and dirt, and recruiting such gangsters into the army to eat the emperor's food. Xu Wei, as a commander, must be responsible. Anyway, it's even scared, and it's dangerous.

Wang Yan, Zhang Qing and other officers listened to Geng Nanzhong's chatter and reprimand, they were all indignant, helpless, although the Jingsui battalion has tens of thousands of horses, but in the end it is the nature of the township soldiers, and there is only one battalion, they are only a nine-rank martial arts, people are frivolous, how dare they offend the deputy minister?

"Tens of thousands of horses are stationed here, wasting the country's money and food. Ben is quite a good official, revoked... Only Geng Nanzhong spat and flew. But before he finished speaking, he heard a deep voice roaring with anger: "Geng Xiang! ”

All the officials were shocked, and when they looked for it, they saw an old official, also wearing a purple official uniform, and a golden fish. The cheeks are thin, the body is thin, and the beard is white. But there is a righteousness between the eyebrows, which is not to be underestimated.

Geng Nanzhong was interrupted by him, extremely unhappy in his heart, and said angrily: "What to do!" ”

The lower official dared to ask, Geng Xiang came. It was originally ordered by the official family to inquire about the incident. But why put the cart before the horse, entangled in side details? Does Geng Xiang want to find out the facts, or avenge the six dead bodies on the ground? Although the Jingsui battalion is a township soldier, it has made several military exploits! At the foot of the Purple Mountain, if it weren't for the bloody battles of this loyal and brave soldier, guarding the pontoon bridge for five days and nights, how could the Jin army retreat? For such loyal and righteous people who serve the country, you are Zhuo Zhuo's deputy prime minister, not only are you good at comforting, but you are sarcastic and sarcastic, and even threatened, what are your intentions? "This old man is thin and weak, but he speaks with a full sense of air and deafness.

As soon as he finished speaking, the officials in the same company were shocked, in the end, it was Xu Lilao, this age, and his temperament was not a concubine at all. This time, someone got a thorn in the head.

The expression on Geng Nanzhong's face seemed to have been forced into a hundred and ten steamed buns that could not be swallowed, and after a moment of stunnedness, the nameless industry was on fire. What are you to teach me!

"Xu Han!" Geng Nanzhong's voice was fierce. "You have to understand who you're talking to!"

"Xia Guan naturally understands! I am the middle of the imperial history, and it is my duty to impeach hundreds of officials. Geng Xiang acted upside down today, confusing the public, and after he went back, he would have to refer to you! Xu Han turned a blind eye to the threats of the emperor's cronies.

Xu Wei was somewhat relieved in his heart, not that Xu Han spoke for him, but that there were still loyal people in the Great Song Dynasty. But after the film, this feeling disappeared. Which dynasty and generation did not have loyal people? But now in the court of the Great Song Dynasty, most of the people who occupy high positions and hold real power are Geng Nanzhong's generation. The country... Difficult!

His face was pale, his chest couldn't help rising and falling, Geng Nanzhong was obviously extremely angry! But in the imperial history, he is the chief of the imperial history platform, and there is nothing that cannot be said about the official. For a while, there was nothing I could do about him. I had to keep this resentment in my heart. The green mountains do not change, the green water flows for a long time, and there will be opportunities to get close in the future! As soon as I thought of this, I gritted my teeth and brushed my sleeves away! The adjutants looked at Xu Han with complicated expressions and followed behind.

Xu Han stood in place and sighed lightly. I couldn't stop shaking my head. The net wanted to follow, but when he saw that Xu Wei was still beside him, he groaned slightly, and said: "Don't mind, justice is in the hearts of the people, and you should be more attentive." (To be continued)
