Chapter 244: Backer

He Tengxiao's judgment of the Liao army's intentions was very accurate. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After Yan Shengcong figured it out, he decisively gave up his intention to attack Jingshi City. Now, the attack on Jingshi City is just a cover for the Liao army.

The Liao army had no intention of seriously attacking Jingshi City, and continued to Chen Bing's Jingshi City, in order to attract the Qinwang army of Southern Zhao to move closer to Jingshicheng, and finally give the Qinwang army of Southern Zhao a fatal blow.

In the days that followed, what the Liao army did was monotonous. It is nothing more than firing artillery into the Jingshi City and putting pressure on the Jingshi City.

Although the Liao army knew very well that these cannons were of no soft use to the deep walls of Jingshi City, they were still happy to repeat this monotonous and boring thing.

Although the artillery fire of the Liao army did not cause a substantial blow to the city wall of Jingshi City, the bombardment of several days caused a great blow to the morale of the soldiers and civilians of Jingshi City.

Jingshi City can only be passively beaten and cannot fight back, the huge Jingshi City, hundreds of thousands of defenders, no army dares to go out of the city to launch a counterattack against the Liao army.

The hearts of the people of Jingshi City were crumbling in the rumbling artillery fire of the Liao army, as if they would collapse at any time.

The morale of Jingshi City was low, although the Liao army did not take the initiative to attack Jingshi City, and the strategy of Jingshi City was to besiege but not attack.

The soldiers and civilians of Jingshicheng felt the pressure under the siege of the Liao army.

Song Yuren was very anxious, and in the half month that Jingshi City was besieged, Song Yuren spent his **** night and night in restlessness.

The supreme ruler of this empire, with supreme power, is in charge of the king of the world's largest number of people. What is most lacking at this time is not anything else, but a simple sense of security.

Song Yuren was very scared, and the sound of cannons outside the Jingshi City that could not hurt the Jingshi City constantly hit his psychological defense. Song Yuren's psychological defense line is also in a state of imminent collapse, Song Yuren is very afraid that the foundation of his ancestors will be destroyed in his hands, and he will become the king of the fallen country of Da Zhao and the laughing stock of the world.

Because of fear, Song Yuren was very extreme in dealing with the method of taking advantage of the chaos to raise prices. Song Yuren restarted the torture of Ling Chi, which was about to be forgotten.

Jin Yiwei and the editor factory poured out, and Song Yuren put a lot of pressure on Jin Yiwei and the editor factory this time. Under the huge pressure of Song Yuren, whether it is Jinyiwei or the editorial factory. He also did things very neatly, without any scruples.

Song Yuren is quite generous as a gentleman on weekdays, and Song Yuren, who has always regarded himself as Renjun, is very restrained and strives to always get closer to the image of Renjun. Song Yuren rarely resorted to such inhumane torture as Ling Chi.

This kind of torture was used only once in the fourteen years that Song Yuren succeeded to the throne. Only in the palace coup d'état at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, the great eunuch Wang Hua, who almost killed him, was used once.

These businessmen believe that they are tough in the background, and they don't pay attention to the people of Jinyiwei and the editing factory. When they were captured, these businessmen were quite calm, even when they walked into the Jinyi Wei Edict and the Editorial Factory Edict, which are known as purgatory in the outside world.

These unwitting businessmen naively thought that their imprisonment was just a formality. Soon someone will bail them out. The moment they walked into the gate of the Imperial Prison, all the businessmen were calm and calm, and seemed to have a lot of confidence in their backstage. It seems that this backstage can override Da Zhao's son of heaven: Song Yuren.

Soon, these ignorant businessmen realized that they were wrong. This time, Song Yuren is by no means as simple as walking around, Song Yuren is serious about them.

The merchants who entered the Imperial Prison finally experienced first-hand why the Imperial Prison was known as Purgatory in the outside world.

Jin Yiwei and the fans of the compilation factory vented all the pressure that Song Yuren pressed on them on these businessmen. These merchants felt the inadequacy of the Jinyi Guard and the Editorial Factory.

The Jinyi Guardian Prison and the Editorial Factory Prison are the places with the most torturous tricks in the world. There are only those you can't think of, and those who don't have the Jinyi Guard's edict and the editor's factory can't think of it. This makes people have to admire the imagination of the people in the Jinyi Guard Edict Prison and the Editorial Factory Edict Prison.

These merchants are pampered on weekdays, where can they afford the torture in the edict prison, and before they can wait for the Jinyi Guard and the people of the Editorial Factory to use their killer skills, these merchants have recruited them all.

These businessmen confessed their backstage behind the scenes, which was surprising: Empress Dowager Zheng.

Empress Dowager Zheng is the empress dowager of this dynasty and the concubine of the first emperor. Although Empress Dowager Zheng is not Song Yuren's biological mother, Song Yuren's biological mother died after giving birth to Song Yuren, Song Yuren was raised by Empress Dowager Zheng, and Song Yuren has always been like a biological mother of Empress Dowager Zheng.

When the two emperors were transposed and the power was handed over, Song Yuren also had the help of the Empress Dowager Zheng, and Song Yuren was able to ascend to the throne of the Ninety-Five Supreme.

It turned out that behind these businessmen was the Empress Dowager Zheng, and it was no wonder that these businessmen were so arrogant and unscrupulous. It seems that the emperor is nothing in their eyes.

"Let's just say why these black-hearted businessmen are so arrogant, it turns out that the big man standing behind these black-hearted businessmen is the Empress Dowager Zheng." It was learned that behind these businessmen stood the Empress Dowager Zheng, who was equivalent to the level of the mother of the country.

Song Yuren is filial and respects this mother who is not a biological mother but is better than a biological mother. The imperial court was in financial difficulties, and the palace reduced expenses, Song Yuren was unkind to himself, and he was not polite to anyone in the palace, except for one person, that is, the Empress Dowager Zheng.

No matter which time the expenses in the palace were reduced or which projects were reduced, Song Yuren never had the idea of reducing the expenses of the Empress Dowager Zheng. It can be seen that the Empress Dowager Zheng is in Song Yuren's heart.

The emperor's mind has always been difficult to guess, and he is also the person who pays the most price after guessing mistakes. Huang Zheng hesitated a little, Huang Zheng just relied on Song Yuren's mind to eat. Speculation is always the greatest knowledge in officialdom.

Huang Zheng is well aware of this, and if he makes a mistake, he is likely to fall into a situation from which he will never recover. The emperor can't be offended, and the queen mother can't be offended.

Suddenly, Huang Zheng fell into a dilemma.

"Haha, I'm afraid!" The businessman who was beaten by Huang Zheng and couldn't find a piece of intact meat saw Huang Zheng hesitate, knowing that he had moved out of this backer to suppress Huang Zheng, and he was so unhappy, "Eunuch, if you know each other, you will quickly release Lao Tzu." Otherwise, the Queen Mother will never spare you! ”

The businessman scolded Huang Zheng as a eunuch without any scruples, but Huang Zheng seemed to have deflated a balloon at this time. The domineering aura that had just tormented these merchants was gone.

Huang Zheng was very angry, although he was a eunuch and a rootless person. This is his eternal sore spot, Huang Zheng can't tolerate others calling him a eunuch, on weekdays, if there is anything that doesn't open his eyes and dares to call him a eunuch, Huang Zheng will never give him a good look.

Now Huang Zheng can only endure it.

"This is the Imperial Prison, I can't tolerate your words!" Luo Tianming couldn't help but see that this businessman was so arrogant, Luo Tianming took out the rag that he didn't know where to find it, and stuffed it into the businessman's mouth, the businessman's mouth was stuffed with cloth, and he couldn't speak, but just whined, "The queen mother is known as a virtuous person, how can she do such a dirty deed, you do dirty things, don't splash dirty water on the queen mother, slander the mother of the country, the crime will be increased!" ”

After that, Luo Tianming pulled Huang Zheng out of the edict.

Although Luo Tianming and Huang Zheng are competitors, Taizong set up Jinyiwei and Jishi Factory at the same time to prevent one of them from dominating and restraining each other's role.

Since they are competitors, the relationship between Luo Tianming and Huang Zheng is definitely not harmonious.

However, at this time, Huang Zheng and Luo Tianming were grasshoppers on a rope. On the same front of the two now, Huang Zheng can't manage a lot, and the grievances and grievances with Luo Tianming on weekdays have been thrown out of the clouds, and the unpleasant things between the two seem to have been forgotten.

"The confessions of these businessmen are the same, if one or two people say that it is the queen mother behind the scenes, then it is also possible that they made false confessions in order to escape responsibility." Although there is only a wall between the outside and inside of the prison, this wall seems to be the boundary between heaven and hell.

The inside of the edict is gloomy and dark, and the sky outside the edict is clear. I'm afraid it's hard to imagine that a wall away from the clear sky is a sensational edict.

"These businessmen came up with a word, and the masterminds behind the confession are all the queen mothers, I'm afraid the possibility of nonsense is very small." The Jinyi Wei and the editor factory outside the edict were all sent away, and only Huang Zheng and Luo Tianming were left here. Huang Zheng told Luo Tianming his guess.

If the person standing behind these businessmen is really Empress Dowager Zheng, then the problem is tricky.

"It is impossible for the Queen Mother to be involved." Luo Tianming boldly said his thoughts, in Luo Tianming's opinion, with the queen's person, it is impossible for the queen to do such a thing that harms the country and the people, and the queen does not need to do this, "I think there may be another hidden secret!" ”

"What's going on?" Huang Zheng raised his eyebrows, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes, as if he saw a turn of events, if Luo Tianming said that the other secret is that Empress Dowager Zheng is not the behind-the-scenes supporter of these businessmen, things will be much simpler.

Song Yuren attaches great importance to this matter and has already given a death order. Song Yuren ordered that the final punishment for these businessmen be Ling Chi, which shows how much Song Yuren hates these businessmen, and if this matter can be done well, it will definitely be praised by Song Yuren.

Huang Zheng's status in Song Yuren's mind will be greatly improved.

The eunuch is a rootless person, and he has this invisible root in them. This invisible root is the emperor, the emperor is the only root of their rootless people, everything they have comes from the emperor, and without the emperor, they are nothing.

Therefore, these eunuchs around the emperor served the emperor very carefully, more carefully than civil officials, who could resign and return to their hometowns, but they couldn't.

"It is impossible for the Queen Mother to be involved in this matter, but it is possible that the people around the Queen Mother are involved in this matter." This is Luo Tianming's guess.

Luo Tianming wants to do this kind of head-killing business, you need a strong backer, and someone will do it with you. Businessmen are born for profit, and businessmen are the most snobbish group.

The Empress Dowager is the ideal backer of businessmen and can give them protection. The queen mother, as their backer, will do this kind of head-killing business. However, it is impossible for the Empress Dowager herself to participate in it, and the biggest possibility is that only the people close to the Empress Dowager are left to instigate these businessmen to raise prices and make huge profits under the banner of the Empress Dowager.

And this man has the ability to make all the businessmen believe that the Queen Mother can support them. And if you dare to act recklessly, this person must have a very close relationship with the Queen Mother.

"Our family just thought, what a virtuous person the Queen Mother is, how could she be involved in this matter, there must be a villain who is swaggering and deceiving the Queen Mother's signboard." Huang Zheng gritted his teeth and said, "Let's find out this person!" ”

Luo Tianming nodded: "The emperor attaches great importance to this matter, we have committed a big crime without reporting it before, and now we are both guilty, whether the emperor can believe us again depends on whether we can do this matter beautifully!" (To be continued.) )
