Chapter Seventy-Eight: Wu Ji! Wu Ji!
Song Shenzong's shouting was like thunder, like thousands of thunderbolts blasting into Sima Guang's ears, making his brain buzz.
At the last moment, Song Shenzong forced these opponents helplessly, why did he change a person in a blink of an eye, and asked him to get out. There was an unwritten rule throughout the Song Dynasty, that is, to treat literati favorably, to treat literati with special courtesy, and even the emperor would not kill literati indiscriminately. It can be said that the Song Dynasty was the best dynasty for literati in ancient China.
Even if his subordinates are at fault, the emperor will never scold, just punish the crime. Not to mention, Song Shenzong also used the word "roll", which is unique in the history of the Song Dynasty, and it is the first time that Sima Guang became the first minister in the history of the Song Dynasty to scold the emperor in person.
If he doesn't want to be stunned, Sima Guang is completely stupid, only to look at Song Shenzong stupidly, and he doesn't even know how to speak.
It was not only Sima Guang who was stunned, but also Wang Anshi, Han Qi, Lu Gongzhu, and Lu Huiqing, and they were all directly petrified.
"Official ......" Lu Gongzhu was the first to react, and cautiously spoke, wanting to remind Song Shenzong.
Where did you think of it, as soon as his words came out, he interrupted Song Shenzong, only to see Song Shenzong sneer, and said, "I haven't lost my heart!" ”
As a result, Lu Gongzhu didn't dare to speak anymore, so he could only swallow a stomach full of doubts.
Song Shenzong's frowning brows loosened, looked at Sima Guang coldly, and said coldly: "Sima Guang, do you think that you have compiled a good "Zizhi Tongjian", so you dare to make irresponsible remarks in front of me? ”
"Official, the minister doesn't dare! Don't dare! Song Shenzong's tone was extremely stern and very cold, this was the first time Sima Guang heard Song Shenzong speak like this, and he was terrified in his heart, and cold sweat flowed out.
"Official, what happened?" Wang Anshi was also very strange and asked cautiously.
What he said was exactly what everyone was thinking, and they all opened their eyes wide, looking at Song Shenzong, with an urgent look on their faces, hoping that Song Shenzong would give an answer.
"Smack!" The music in Song Shenzong's hand struck lightly on the palm of his hand, making a crisp sound, and then he threw it at Sima Guang, and said coldly: "Sima Guang, you have to think clearly about what you say in the future, don't talk about it anymore and chew your tongue!" ”
These words are still cold and frightening, but Sima Guang is even more curious, and hurriedly picks up the cantata and takes a look, his mouth suddenly opens wide, and he can stuff it into a sea bowl, and as soon as his hand is loosened, the cantale falls to the ground, and he is directly petrified.
His performance made people even more curious, Wang Anshi, Lu Gongzhu, Lu Huiqing, and Han Qi didn't care about the loss of honor in front of the king, so they came up, stretched their necks out, looked at the recital, and at a glance, they also followed in Sima Guang's footsteps and petrified.
"Congratulations to the official! Congratulations to the official family! Wang Anshi was the first to come to his senses, saluted Song Shenzong, and congratulated loudly: "The great victory in Xiongzhou, the total annihilation of the 50,000 Liao troops who invaded Xiongzhou, this is the first big victory in the history of the Great Song Dynasty!" ”
Wang Anshi's words woke Sima Guang and the others up, and they were busy congratulating Song Shenzong. Sima Guang congratulated while wiping the cold sweat with his sleeve, he wiped it quickly, but more cold sweat poured out.
In order to fight Wang Anshi, he did not hesitate to give Wang Anshi a felony of collaborating with the enemy and treason. When I said it at the time, I was so high-spirited that I was singing in my heart, but I didn't show it. Where to think, this is just a moment of effort, the situation has changed greatly, not only Xiongzhou was saved, but also the 50,000 Liao troops who attacked Xiongzhou were completely annihilated, which was a great help to Wang Anshi, who implemented the new law.
For Sima Guang, who was bent on opposing the new law, it was a big blow. Seeing that Wang Anshi's resignation is about to become a foregone conclusion, he will become prime minister, and the end of the new law will become a reality, but at this critical moment, Xiongzhou's good news has arrived, which is God joking with him and playing tricks on him.
The charges of treason with the enemy are too serious, and at the moment, he doesn't know how to end it.
At this time, Song Shenzong's joking voice sounded: "Sima Guang, you can listen well: I have 3,000 warriors, why not be afraid of 50,000 Liao soldiers!" Even if there are 50,000 Liao soldiers, it will not be enough for me to kill 3,000 warriors! ”
The three thousand warriors in Song Shenzong's mouth are, of course, the three thousand converted miscellaneous troops led by Wu Ji. Although it is a ragtag army that has been put together temporarily, with such a sharp weapon as a thunderbolt, it can still defeat 50,000 Liao troops, which is so exciting!
Sima Guang heard it in his ears, and the words were like thunder, his body trembled, his heart trembled, and he broke out in a cold sweat even more, and he had to pretend to be respectful: "Xie Guan's teachings!" ”
"Sima Guang, get out!" Song Shenzong waved his hand, like chasing flies, and drove Sima Guang out in disgust.
"Han Qi, you get out too!" Song Shenzong glanced at Han Qi, very angry.
Han Qi hurriedly responded, walked away quickly, and as soon as he came out of the Jiying Palace, he couldn't help wiping cold sweat. Originally, he rushed to the palace, ready to force the palace and get rid of Wang Anshi, but he didn't expect that Xiongzhou would completely reverse the situation with a quick victory, and the situation that was originally very favorable to them suddenly became unfavorable to them.
Sima Guang left the Jiying Palace, his back was cold, he trembled step by step, and he couldn't even walk fast, he really scared Song Shenzong. With the charges he imposed on Wang Anshi, it was not a problem to punish him, but fortunately, Song Shenzong was not in the mood to ignore him at this time, but just drove him away, and Sima Guang thought that it was a great luck in misfortune.
Han Qi hurried to catch up and sighed, "Junshi, how did this happen?" Originally, it didn't mean that Xiongzhou was about to be lost, but it was only a few days of hard work that it was recaptured. If you take it back, you will take it back, and you will also annihilate the 50,000 Liao troops who invaded Xiongzhou. Now it's okay, we rushed over, became monkeys jumping in circles, and made wedding clothes for Wang Anshi. ”
With such a big victory, Wang Anshi's position will be more consolidated, and the opposition will not be happy, the more they suppress Wang Anshi at this time, the more stable Wang Anshi's phase will be.
"This Wu Ji, is he three-headed and six-armed? In such a short period of time, the situation was reversed and Xiongzhou was recaptured. Han Qi was a little puzzled.
"Wu Ji, Wu Ji!" Sima Guang chattered, and read Wu Ji's name vigorously: "Unexpectedly, the layout we have carefully planned for many years has been destroyed by a little-known little show!" ”
"yes!" Han Qi was very helpless: "Since the day the new law was implemented, we have been opposing the new law. Helplessly, the heart of the official family is like iron and stone, and it is necessary to implement the new law in order to let Wang Anshi control the phase for all these years. Wang Shao's battle of Xihe made it impossible for us to make a move. Finally, with the matter of Xiongzhou, we have a good opportunity to re-emerge in our eyes, and we have completely destroyed the 3,000 miscellaneous army of this little showman. Sad, sad! ”
"This is just the beginning!" Sima Guang looked far away: "From now on, Wang Anshi's phase will be more stable, and the official family will free up their hands to vigorously implement the new law!" Our chances are getting smaller and smaller. ”
"So what are we going to do?" Han Qi asked hurriedly.
"It's tough, but it's not without opportunities. Don't forget, the one in the palace. Sima Guangyi pointed at something, and an incomprehensible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
xxxxxx At this time, Song Shenzong was pacing violently in the Jiying Palace, he kept pacing around, pacing, and kept waving his fists: "Jiefu, do you know what God blesses the Great Song?" This is God bless the Great Song! Xiongzhou was about to be lost, and three thousand converted warriors suddenly appeared, turning the tide of the battle and shutting up Sima Guang. ”
"Huh!" Wang Anshi, Lu Gongzhu, and Lu Huiqing laughed heartily.
Wang Anshi was genuinely happy, seeing that the new law was about to die, but he didn't expect that a surprise soldier from heaven and a good news would make the opposition helpless. He is glad not that his position has been preserved, but that the new law can still be implemented, and he can increase his efforts, and I believe that after this incident, the opposition will be much more restrained.
Of course, this victory was the biggest victory in the history of the Song Dynasty, and he was genuinely happy.
Lu Huiqing felt very uncomfortable in his heart, he had known that this was the case, and he should have fought on the basis of reason, and there was no need to remain silent, in that case, he would get more power. It was all lard that blinded his heart, thinking that Wang Anshi was finished, he chose to be silent. Shicai's silence is tantamount to leaning towards the opposition, and his words will not be easy in the future.
As for Lu Gong's writing, he was simply smiling bitterly in his heart. He was originally a cadre of the opposition, but he was not as decisive as Sima Guang, and he was still an official in the court. Shicai, he showed his attitude, that is, he wants to get rid of Wang Anshi, let the new law die, and the situation will take a turn for the worse, how much time can he be an official?
The more he thought about it, the more it was not a taste, and he was uneasy.
"Official, such a big victory, why is it calm in Bianjing City?" Wang Anshi finally thought of something unusual.
"Hey!" Song Shenzong sighed and said, "That's because the people don't believe it." The people thought they were boasting again, thinking that they had killed tens of thousands of people and almost killed the soldiers who reported the news, if it weren't for the guards of the city gate army. ”
"This ......" Wang Anshi couldn't help but smile bitterly, such a big victory, there was no laughter, it was really too unexpected for him.
"Don't complain about the people, you all complain about the court!" Song Shenzong is a reasonable person: "Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty has not had a decent victory, let alone a victory in the annihilation of 50,000 Liao troops. After hundreds of years of war, although the Great Song Dynasty was strong, far exceeding the Khitan and Western Xia, it could not defeat the Khitan and Western Xia, and the people had long been accustomed to losing the war, and winning the battle was too fresh for them! ”
Yixi's words were very bitter, and Wang Anshi, Lu Huiqing, and Lu Gongzhu sighed and stopped talking.
This time, Lu Huiqing and Lu Gongshu are real sighs, not pretentious gestures. No matter what their purpose is, as high-ranking officials, the Song Dynasty is weak, which really makes them regret.
"The people don't approve of this victory, I can't wronged the soldiers, I must reward them well." Song Shenzong's eyes rolled, and his essence burst out: "Jiefu, the intention is to be intended." Although Zhou Wei was at fault, when Xiongzhou was in danger, he did not panic, responded calmly, and ensured that Xiongzhou was not lost, and he still made great contributions and was promoted by two levels. ”
Wang Anshi picked up his pen and drafted a holy decree according to the meaning.
"Wu Ji, hehe, I want to reward him heavily!" Song Shenzong rolled up his sleeves and said, "I personally wrote the holy decree." "Pick up the pen and start writing the holy decree, a piece of imperial silk is finished, it is still not enough, take another piece, finish writing, it is not enough, write another piece.
A holy decree actually wrote a whole three pieces of imperial silk, such a holy decree is rare in the ages!
