Chapter 242: Ups and Downs (2)
As soon as Mi Dechao and the others returned home, the holy decree to dispose of them came down, and the civil officials looked at each other, not knowing what kind of dumb riddle Zhao Guangyi was playing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It wasn't until the war situation in Western Xia was exposed that the civilian officials knew that it turned out that Mi Dechao had been defeated so far!
Suddenly, the atmosphere of the Great Song Dynasty changed, and it no longer returned to its usual quiet and peaceful.
Within half an hour, the impeachment of Mi Dechao flew to Zhao Guangyi's desk like snowflakes, and most of them asked for Mi Dechao to be beheaded for public display.
Among this kind of people, Zuo Counseling Doctor, Quan Zhi Kaifeng Mansion Yin Li Fu was the most radical, and directly asked to interrogate Yi Dechao at the Zichen Palace Imperial Conference, so that he could explain the major and minor affairs of Western Xia in front of everyone.
Regarding this kind of twist, Zhao Guangyi did not reply immediately after reading it.
In fact, Zhao Guangyi also hated Mi Dechao who had repeatedly done bad things, but as Mi Dechao said, Zhao Guangyi did not have many descendants in the military, and if he killed Mi Dechao, it would be tantamount to cutting off his arm.
But if they don't kill, those civil officials are really annoying enough, and if this matter cannot be satisfactorily resolved, Zhao Guangyi will definitely be crowned with the reputation of appointing villains, which is absolutely intolerable for Zhao Guangyi, who has always had a good face.
Zhao Guangyi's anger rose, but he couldn't find a way to solve it, Mi Dechao had already made a big mistake, if he shielded him, he would inevitably turn against the civilian officials, but if the civilian officials were allowed to deal with him, the military balance that he had worked hard to maintain for many years would be broken, and he didn't know what chaos would be born at that time.
Zhao Guangyi didn't expect that one of his holy decrees would cause such a big fluctuation, making the civil officials who have always been gentle and frugal oppose him so much, which is simply a slap in the face.
You must know that as an emperor, you have the right to dictate the Sacred Heart, and the Holy Decree is their will, and under normal circumstances, no courtier dares to oppose it.
But at this time, almost all the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty opposed this holy decree, and they were basically opposing him as the emperor in a way of covering up their shame.
Although Zhao Guangyi did not think that the civil officials had the motive to rebel, the pen was in their hands, and once today's events were written into the history books, Zhao Guangyi would inevitably become a laughing stock.
As an emperor, the holy decree you issued was opposed by most of the officials, isn't this a joke or what? Are you unpopular or are you too mentally retarded by your holy decree?
In fact, there is a reason why the civil officials did not give Zhao Guangyi face this time.
Thinking back to the Northern Expedition the year before last, Zhao Gu formulated a plan for the Northern Expedition, and the four-way army attacked the sixteen states of Yanyun at the same time, but Yi Dechao advanced lightly to the enemy, resulting in the loss of Shuozhou City and the death of tens of thousands of troops.
At that time, there were people in the DPRK and China who participated in the impeachment of Yi Dechao, but the Northern Expedition was finally victorious, and the entire territory of Yanyun's sixteen states was recovered.
Besides, in the last Western Expedition, Mi Dechao was ambushed again, resulting in the destruction of 100,000 Great Song Dynasty troops, and the Great Song Dynasty almost ended the Western Expedition and lost face.
The civilian officials also participated in the impeachment of him that time, but Zhao Guangyi wanted to make Mi Dechao meritorious and establish prestige in the army, so he pressed the matter down.
The civilian officials can also understand Zhao Guangyi's intentions, after all, the veterans in the army are all descendants of Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, and it is understandable that Zhao Guangyi wants to develop his own power.
But there is a limit to the tolerance of the civil officials, the so-called things are only three, plus this time he was driven back to Kaifeng, Mi Dechao has already made three major mistakes, is it possible that the civil officials can continue to let him go?
This is the reason why the civil officials refuse to give up, people like Mi Dechao can no longer be described as waste, but should be named after the pit.
Throughout the three major battles led by Yi Dechao, the Great Song army lost more than 150,000 troops because of Yi Dechao's mistakes, plus 100,000 Western Xia troops, the Great Song Dynasty lost 250,000 troops because of him.
That's 250,000 living lives!
Since ancient times, if the civil officials saw that Mi Dechao had made such a big mistake, but pretended not to know anything, it would have been impossible.
A storm against Yi Dechao gradually rolled up in Kaifeng City, and the momentum sank!
On the sixth day of the lunar month, Li Fu was the first to interrogate Mi Dechao, which caused the truth of the ministers to echo, Zhao Guangyi's face was pale, and he had the intention to force the civil officials to retreat, and he was afraid of his reputation, so he had to secretly scold Mi Dechao in his heart, and pretended to be unwell and returned to the harem.
However, the matter is not over, after the ministers dispersed, I don't know who said a word intentionally or unintentionally, and it spread in Kaifeng City in a blink of an eye.
The original words of this sentence are like this: I look at today's Yi Dechao, compared with Yang Guozhong in the Tang Xuanzong, he is more misleading the country and the people, and what His Majesty is doing today is similar to Tang Xuanzong.
When the officials heard this, they secretly pondered and wanted to agree, but they were afraid of offending Zhao Guangyi, but the people did not have so many twists and turns, and they directly discussed it on the street, in the restaurant, and in the residence.
At this time, the news of the defeat of the Western Xia has spread, and the people have complained about the Xia Guogong who has repeatedly caused the innocent and tragic death of the soldiers.
Especially the families of the soldiers who followed Yi Dechao's westward expedition this time, after learning the news, they cried loudly, and after the old father and mother lost their son, they couldn't bear the blow and passed out directly, and some people have not woken up since then.
All of a sudden, the families of the 150,000 soldiers who died in battle were all covered in a blank and gloomy cloud.
Many family members of soldiers who died in battle were eager to try and seek justice, and they gathered together in twos and threes to discuss and offer advice.
As the people of this country, they can let their relatives go to the front line to fight, not people who don't care about the overall situation, and they have some preparations for the death of their relatives, and they also thought that they would receive a pension document from the imperial court, but their relatives were not killed head-on on the battlefield, but died of the incompetence of the commander, and died inexplicably, which made them intolerable.
Our relatives can die, they can be killed one-on-one, they can be surrounded by people one-on-one, they can be drowned by thousands of people one-on-one, but they must not be unjustly killed!
