Chapter 148: Dismissal

Enter the Spring Festival of the first year of Song Jingkang. The remarks of the people of Tokyo in the court during the riots were spread through the mouth of the students in the capital, and the crowd was indignant! The shame and resentment that had accumulated in the hearts of the people since last year exploded violently before Chinese New Year's Eve. Not only the common people, but also the officers and soldiers of the Tokyo Forbidden Army also participated in this "movement". Everyone knows what the end of the trouble will be, but on the one hand, they are aroused by righteous indignation, and on the other hand, they think that "if the law is not the law, the people will be the people". More than 100,000 soldiers and civilians gathered in the palace to petition, tear up the eunuchs, beat up the traitors, and the students rushed to shout, and more and more soldiers and civilians in Tokyo gathered in the imperial street, and the situation was out of control.

Geng Nanzhong made a turtle with a shrunken head, he knew that there were more than 100,000 people waiting in front of the palace to block him, and even outside the official residence, there were "chaotic people" peeping at him from time to time. So the turtle cowered at home and did not dare to go out. Tang Ke didn't have such good luck, he was still lying on the bed and humming, and he still couldn't understand that as the prime minister, he was seriously injured by the chaos, why didn't the official family even bring a word? On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, the emperor's edict arrived. But Zhao Huan did not care for a word in the holy decree, but stopped his phase. Tang Ke was furious. Immediately thought of his combat partner, so he asked the chamberlain of the edict, how did Geng Nanzhong deal with it? When he was stunned to know that Geng Nanzhong was safe, he finally understood that the imperial court was pushing itself out to carry the black pot! Hope by removing yourself. Achieve the effect of calming public anger.

Tang Kesu had a close relationship with the chamberlain, so he asked the reason. The chamberlain told him that the soldiers and civilians in Tokyo pointed out that he, Geng Nanzhong, Li Bangyan, and Zhang Bangchang were the "four thieves" and said that the scourge of their four traitors was far greater than that of Cai Jing Tongguan, and demanded that they be deposed and killed! There is also a royal history in the court Hu Shun to impeach him, "Ke's wisdom can not be through the side affairs, but he is good at befriending the inner servants, and now the country is declining, and he can't prepare the inner servants to persuade Tang Ke, don't complain on the table, accept the edict, and protect his life, after all, the public is angry, and now the military and civilians in Tokyo have lost their minds, whether it is for the traitors or the Jurchens, they are all shouting and shouting and killing." Tang Ke was shocked when he heard the news, two broken ribs actually jumped up from the bed, choked and couldn't speak. Hurry up and accept the edict. But he was still a little unwilling, and asked who would replace him as deputy prime minister? The chamberlain replied. It is Yin He Li of Kaifeng Mansion. After Tang Ke heard this, he didn't say anything more, he knew that the sharp war faction had come to power again.

New Year's Day. The Chinese New Year's Eve just passed without the slightest hint of New Year's Eve. The soldiers and civilians in Tokyo chatted vigorously, and stayed all night outside the Xuande Gate of the Imperial Palace to petition, although it was bitterly cold, but the patriotic enthusiasm in the hearts of the soldiers and civilians. And what the cold can quench? The heavens seem to have been moved by the military and civilians of Tokyo, and after experiencing heavy snow and extreme cold, the sun has once again shone on Tokyo.

Xu Wei and Yao Pingzhong only rushed into the city of Tokyo with only a dozen personal soldiers, when the capital was already under martial law, although they were the generals of the town guard, but they also had to verify that they were in order to enter the city. After the city head guard learned the identities of the two of them, he kindly reminded him not to go to the royal street and not to approach the Xuande Gate.

"Why is the capital so chaotic?" Yao Pingzhong lifted the reins and walked slowly, looking at the depressed street market in surprise. Even last year, when martial law was imposed in Tokyo, there was no such scene, and you couldn't see anyone even walking a few streets?

At this time, a group of people was traveling westward, and when they heard this, they saw that they were dressed as officers, and they replied, "All the people have gone to the imperial city to petition." Alas. The national disaster is at the head, the second general Yao Xu outside the city. I can't resist being afraid, sad, sad. ”

Yao Pingzhong was furious, whipped his whip and pointed at it, and scolded: "Let your mother's fart!" The gold thief is coming, and he will not return! You are a scoundrel, and you dare to underestimate me? ”

The passer-by was really shocked, took a closer look at him and Xu Wei, and suddenly said "Ah Ye", hugged his head and ran away. Yao Pingzhong was indignant and wanted to send guards to arrest him. was blocked by Xu Wei: "Why should Yao Dutong have the same knowledge as this small people?" ”

"You're not angry? Damn, we fought bloodily on the front line and defeated the golden dog in a row, but this guy chewed the root of his tongue! Hateful! Yao Pingzhong roared sharply, his face turned black and red.

Xu Wei didn't bother to entangle with him, and chuckled: "It's important to get down to business." Hear that. Yao Pingzhong was just straight, thought for a moment, and turned his head to stare at him: "This time you thought of a place with me, before you came to see me, I was convening my troops to discuss the ambush, and I also planned to let someone inform you." Together, we are all in one place. ”

Xu Wei smiled secretly. And did not answer. It turned out that after agreeing with the generals, Xu Wei believed that the strength of the Hujie Township Army was not enough to complete the ambush operation. Therefore, it was decided to go to see Yao Pingzhong in person, and the two joined forces. After seeing Xu Gu, he listened to the plan, didn't think about it, and immediately agreed. Of course, repeatedly stated. He had thought of this a long time ago, and had already convened his subordinates to discuss it before Xu Wei came. At this time, the two of them returned to Tokyo together, in order to meet with the privy envoy Xu Shao, report the battle strategy, and ask for approval. They were stationed on both sides of Tokyo, and their mission was to defend them, but now they had to change their strategy and require the consent of the imperial court and even the emperor. It's really fucked up to say, the front line is a big training; In the war, the ring is so changing that the field is ever-changing, and the decision is delayed for half a day, and what is grabbed is time, but who calls the Great Song Dynasty system like this? After walking for a while, I suddenly heard the voices of people in front of me. Look far away. The direction of the royal street was dark, and the heads of people were overflowing. The two personal soldiers did not need to be ordered, and immediately drew their guns and swords to block in front of the commander.

"It's Yao Xu, the two officials!" In the crowd, more than one shrugged voice shouted. The streets and alleys were crowded with people, and they all rushed towards them. If it was someone else, he would have been stunned by this formation, but both of them are generals who command the army, and they are not afraid of thousands of troops, let alone the people?

In a short time, thousands of civilian sergeants surrounded him and his group. Everyone was emotional, shouting, screaming, and shouting, making people feel like thunder in their ears. But I can't hear why. Xu Wei watched coldly, Yao Pingzhong frowned, suddenly puffed up his breath, and roared loudly: "Everyone! Hold on for a moment! ”

Sure enough, there was a thunder on the ground, and the noisy crowd was immediately quiet. Yao Pingzhong seemed to be very satisfied with this situation, and said with a soothing face: "What do you want to do?" ”

When the sound fell, there was one in the crowd: "Lord Yao!" The gold thief is in the Kou, and the mountains and rivers are broken! The land of the two rivers was trampled by the Jurchens. Now he urges the army to invade the emperor, and the Great Song Dynasty has no way to retreat! It's hateful, the traitorous ministers of the court and the middle of the country deceived the officials and advocated peace, and they actually wanted to cede the two rivers! Don't you hear that the foundation of the ancestors will protect every inch of land! Today, the two marshals each mention the king and defend Gyeonggi, and we really admire it! May the second marshal repel the gold thief and return my rivers and mountains! His generous speech caused thousands of soldiers and civilians to chant in unison, "Return my rivers and mountains," and the earth shook. Loud in the sky! Yao Pingzhong heard it. It is very useful. Among the Song army, only the three chiefs and the envoys who went all the way to pacify could be called "handsome", and now the people are called handsome, of course, he is very complacent.

Xu Wei knew that the matter was urgent, and the ambush must be approved by the imperial court as soon as possible. Seeing that the people were excited. I'm afraid I won't be able to end it for a while. Thinking about the three, he leaned over and beckoned to Yao Pingzhong and said: "All the people should be dealt with, and I will go to meet the privy minister." ”

The latter thought secretly, the people's hearts are looking forward to war, I am a general in the army, and the people love it like this, so I can't dismiss the kindness of everyone. The privy counsellor on the left and right was also Xu Wei's uncle, and it was the same when he went to see him alone, so he nodded in agreement. Xu Wei immediately ordered his own soldiers to open the way, wanting to go to the Privy Council. Helplessly, the people died, blocked it, and couldn't get out.

Little Xu Guanren! Last year, the gold thief came to attack, and it was the petty official who led the army to guard the Purple Mountain for five days and nights, forcing the gold thief to retreat! This merit and virtue, we are waiting for the small people to keep in mind. Now the enemy is back, the officials lead the army to defend the emperor's que, please be loyal and brave, and save the tide! Please accept me! "Another old man, all white, afraid that he is already **ten years old. Hanging a cane in his hand, he was supported by his children and grandchildren, but at this time he insisted on making a big salute to Xu Wei.

Xu Wei hurriedly sent his own soldiers to support him and looked around. I know that if I don't make a statement, I don't want to get out today. But can this state be messed up? After thinking for a while, he looked around at the surrounding soldiers and civilians, and the voice spread in all directions: "Xu Wei doesn't dare to guarantee it, but this armor on his body and the steel knife in his waist are not used to scare people!" I have military affairs with me, and I ask you to get out of the way. ”

When the people heard this, they applauded! Yao Pingzhong saw this. stepped forward and urged: "Hurry up and see the privy minister, here I am!" When the people heard this, they gave way. Xu Wei led the guards to gallop away! Yao Pingzhong saw that he had run away without a trace, so he returned, cleared his throat, and was ready to be impassioned, "'In the forbidden, Xu Wei hurried under the guidance of the inner servant. When he went to the Privy Council, the adjutant said that the Privy Counsellor had been absent from the Privy Council for two consecutive days, and that he was in the palace for advisers. Therefore, he went to the palace again. The Jin army came to attack, Tokyo rioted, and the palace behaved more intuitively, with strict sentry, and even the palace eunuchs. is also low, and rarely hears human voices. Seeing the team of forbidden soldiers galloping back and forth, they all said that the people were angry, and the palace gate was urgent, so they rushed to reinforcements.

After a short time, he walked to the vertical arch hall, and the attendant entered the palace to report, and returned in an instant, and the official was summoned by the official's family. Slightly dressed, Xu Weiang strode into the hall, and saw the privy envoy Xu Shao early, and Shangshu Zuo Cheng Huang Qianshan. In the imperial history, Xu Han and other officials were there, but Geng, Tang, Li, Zhang and other generations were missing.

When he came in, he went up to the emperor and down to the deacon. Everyone is frightened, one by one, frightened, the town guard general leaves his post and returns to the forbidden center, is there a change on the front line? At this time, Tokyo was under martial law and the whole city was closed, and Xu Wei and Yao Pingzhong were the first to know what was going on outside, but the emperor didn't know about it.

I had to go forward, and I took a look at the hem of the official robe and said, "Minister Xu Wei,"

Zhao Huan couldn't take care of these false courtesies, and hurriedly said: "Ziang is flat and suddenly returns to Tokyo, could it be that the front line is not going well?" Or did he dare not think about it again, could it be that Xu Wei was defeated by the Jin army and was spared? If so, the joint danger! (To be continued)
