Chapter 5: Sharing Honor and Disgrace

A month, two months, time passed quietly, and Zhao Ji was quietly waiting, waiting for news from Wang Anshi. This is half a year.

In half a year, Zhao Ji felt that he had recovered his skills in later generations.

Under the standardized diet and training, the muscles on Zhao Ji's body bulged one by one.

Considering that he could not use the firearms of later generations, Zhao Ji not only practiced the martial arts routines such as hard qigong, tai chi, and grappling fighting in later generations, but also practiced sword skills, riding and archery and lance techniques.

Perhaps because of the crossing, Zhao Ji was shocked to find that he actually had the potential of two people, whether it was memory or physical strength. This makes Zhao full of confidence in the future.

Zeng Gongliang and several ruling parties did not dispose of Ouyang Xiu and others according to Zhao Ji's will, but still sent people to investigate, and then passed the triage of the three law divisions, and then the case was closed.

Ouyang Xiu was not guilty, Xue Zongru was relegated to the place, and did not confiscate the family property, nor execute the Wu family, let alone assassinate the match.

However, after Ouyang Xiu heard the emperor's sentence against him, he fainted and lay on the bed all the time, and when the case was closed by the three law divisions, Ouyang Xiu also swallowed his breath.

Zeng Gongliang asked Zhao Ji to give Ouyang Xiu a nickname, but Zhao Ji ignored it, and just let him watch it himself.

The emperor's attitude made the ministers tremble for a while.

Many ministers dismissed the courtesans one after another, but most of the time they adhered to their duties, not daring to get tired of being at home all the time, and not daring to be silent anymore.

Just to do it, it's also hidden. In case the emperor is more serious, then wait for the dismissal and dismissal, and the sentence of confiscating all family property is more frightening than being stabbed.

It's not that Zhao Ji doesn't insist on his own verdict, but that such a verdict is impossible to enforce.

Emperor Taizu of the Great Song Dynasty made an oath not to kill scholars, but Zhao Ji could not be translated in the memory of Zhao Ji in the past, and the circulation of later generations was unreliable.

The reason why the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty did not dare to kill the scholars was entirely the result of the scholars' efforts.

It's not that the emperor doesn't want to kill the doctor, it's that the emperor can't kill him.

Emperor Taizu set up a complete set of systems to prevent civil servants, military generals, eunuchs, relatives, and clans, and even treated the scholar class favorably.

This led to the rapid expansion of the scholarly class, and once the scholars entered this class, they mixed up through the means of marriage, and the officials protected each other.

Coupled with the grace of the shade of the official, there is a situation of the official world, these scholars and doctors are relatives and relatives, intertwined. Casually disposing of a scholar official is likely to be a relative of a dozen other officials.

If the other dozen or so families use other relatives, it will involve the entire scholar class.

Their own family members were killed, dismissed, and asked them to use knives, where would they be willing?

They will not set a precedent for the emperor to kill the scholar doctor, kill this today, will it be their turn tomorrow?

Historically, Zhao Ji wanted to kill Su Shi, and both the reformers and conservatives pleaded for Su Shi one after another, and even the two palace maidens were dispatched. Can the emperor still cut this knife?

Xining changed the law, Wang Anshi and Sima Guang fought against each other, but neither of them stabbed their opponents, and the only way was to depose the place. Here's why.

The Great Song Dynasty seemed to strengthen the centralization of the monarchy, but in fact it also reflected the weakening of the monarch's power.

In the Ming Dynasty, the emperor didn't even have a chance to go to court, so he had to pull up a group of eunuchs to fight against the cabinet-centered scholars.

In an imperial state, the emperor is always the symbol of the country, and only the emperor will really care about the fate of the country. The emperor could not make a sound, and the country existed in name only.

What Zhao Ji wants to do is to pull up a group of his own forces in addition to the scholar class, and it is unrealistic for the emperor to face the entire scholar class alone.

The whole country is firmly in the hands of the scholar class, and if you want to promote a group of new people to steal their jobs, you can't even think about it. Even if a group of newcomers can be pulled into the court, it is estimated that they will soon be overwhelmed by the scholar class. It won't be long before this group of newcomers is likely to become their family.

If the scholar really had the consciousness of the protagonist of the country, then the Song Dynasty would not have died at the hands of foreigners. Most of the scholars, except for doing nothing, taking advantage of their privilege to engage in land annexation, and enjoy themselves in comfort, knew how to give prostitutes.

Wende Hall, Shangwu Room.

"Holy Lord, Wang Anshi's secret performance." Li Xiangan looked at Zhao Ji, who was holding the stone pier to strut his strength, and said excitedly.

Within half a year, Zhao Ji would ask Li Xiang'an almost every day if there was any news of Wang Anshi.

It's been half a year, and there is finally news of Wang Anshi, and Li Xiangan is also happy for Zhao Ji.

In ancient times, perhaps only eunuchs would share honor and disgrace with the emperor, because the power of eunuchs came from the emperor's trust.

The eunuchs disrupted the country, but it was just because the emperor put the task of exceeding the knowledge of the eunuchs on the eunuchs. It's not that the eunuchs are unfaithful, but they can't do it and use the wrong methods.

"Yes." Zhao Ji took over the secret music and took a quick look.

"Quickly recruit Wen Yanbo, and I will order troops." Zhao Ji said excitedly

He was about to form an ideal cavalry in his mind, the Golden Fire Cavalry, and Zhao Ji's blood was surging.

The formation of the Golden Fire Cavalry was something that Zhao Ji had been brewing for half a year, and the name came from the cartoon "Qin Shi Mingyue" that Zhao Ji had seen in later generations.

In the film, Qin Shi Huang has such a golden fire cavalry. It was the elite of the cavalry elite of the Qin State. Its commander was the soldier Meng Tian, who led such an elite cavalry to defeat the 400,000 Xiongnu army and seize the land of Hetao.

Wen Yanbo is the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and he can only pass through him.

Not long after, Zhao Ji, Wen Yanbo, Kumamoto, and Li Xiangan rode fast horses to the camp of the forbidden army in the south of the city.

"Holy Lord, how do you pick a method? If you just choose its strength, I'm afraid it will be difficult to build an elite division! The important thing is that it is easy to build an army, but it is very difficult to build an army's soul. After all, this forbidden army has been in existence for a long time, and its influence on the soldiers has been deep-rooted. No matter how much training you practice, it's just a little stronger than the forbidden army. It is better to recruit soldiers from the people, those soldiers are a blank sheet of paper, although the training time is much longer, everything must be taught from scratch, but it is easy to shape the soul of the army, even if it is possible to train them as dead soldiers. Kumamoto admonished.

Kumamoto came from the Western Army, and led troops to defend Western Xia all the year round, when he was forty-two years old. He once took the head of the general of the Western Xia Army among the ten thousand armies, and was a fierce general that the Western Xia people feared. Importantly, this Kumamoto is of very low origin.

Kumamoto's advice is very pertinent. Zhao Ji deliberately transferred him from the Western Army to Bianjing as a lieutenant. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Taiwei was a fictitious position, but his official character was very high.

When they came to the barracks of the Chinese army, the generals of the forbidden army lined up on the left and right and saluted Zhao Ji.

"Order all battalions to run around the school grounds, and not to stop without my order. Those who think they are good at martial arts don't have to run, regardless of their background, regardless of their official position, they can go to the Chinese military barracks to report. I want to set up a ring in the middle military academy to select soldiers for the golden fire cavalry that is about to be formed. I would like to tell you that the newly formed Golden Fire Cavalry, if one person joins the army, the whole family will be exempted from all taxes, and twenty acres of fertile land will be given. Captain Xiong, immediately lead people to build the ring. Wen Shumi, preparing to make a book for recruits. ”

After Zhao Ji gave the order, the entire camp of the forbidden army in the south of the city was busy.

The soldiers usually have little training, they have already trained all morning, and now they have to run, and they all have depressed faces. But the emperor's will cannot be disobeyed, and he can only fight for his life one by one.

Zhao Ji rode a jujube red horse and led the generals to supervise on the school field. If you look down from the sky, you will find large circles, which are the soldiers who are running.

"Didn't eat? Work hard, run faster, run slowly, today's dinner is gone, and this month's military pay is gone. Zhao Ji shouted. The generals behind him also shouted.

After running for an hour, he fell to the ground. Zhao Ji was not idle, and led the generals to carry the fallen soldiers to the barracks.

Seeing that the ring had been set up, Zhao Ji ordered the generals to organize their own manpower to take care of the fallen soldiers, and then gather the remaining soldiers in the middle military academy.

Soon, less than 50,000 of the 200,000 forbidden troops stationed in Bianjing could be concentrated in the Central Military Academy, and 50,000 soldiers surrounded the ring dozens of layers inside and outside.

The sun was scorching, they were panting, letting their sweat flow, full of tenacity and tenacity.

Zhao Ji thought that if it weren't for the suppression of the upper ruling class, with such a group of warriors, how could the Great Song Dynasty be poor and weak.

The Great Song Dynasty imprisoned their blood and imprisoned them in this small camp in the south of the city, in order to only keep the Zhao family's country and the luxurious and corrupt life of the royal bureaucrats.

Zhao Ji walked to the ring, looked at the black-pressed soldiers under the stage, swallowed his saliva, and began to agitate.

"Brothers, my brothers in the forbidden army, I want to ask you, what are you from all over the world coming to this forbidden army camp for?"

The soldiers couldn't believe that this was the emperor, without a little emperor shelf, without a little emperor dignity, and they actually called these lower-level soldiers brothers.

"Some people may say that it is to support the family and the life of the family. Then let me ask you, how are your families? Zhao Ji then made an impassioned speech.

Some people may say that it is to seek a future and glorify the ancestors. Then let me ask you, can you glorify your ancestors? ”

Zhao Ji asked loudly, heavier than the scorching sun that made people unconscious. yes, what am I for? Why did you become a soldier?

"Some people may say that it is to protect the family and defend the country and repay the emperor's kindness. Then let me ask you, what did the emperor give you? Gave you a future? Or does it give you dignity? Or is it to give you wealth? ”

Zhao Ji continued to question loudly. The generals were puzzled, what the hell was this emperor talking about? Isn't this tearing down your own stage?

"To give or not to give? You all have an abacus in your heart. I have come to this forbidden army camp today to tell you that I will give you all this. Even if I can't give it to you, no matter how rich or poor, I will stand with you. ”

After Zhao Ji finished speaking, he beckoned Li Xiangan and put the stove in the ring. Li Xiang'an commanded a group of soldiers to carry the huge stove into the ring. The flames danced in the scorching sun, and a small soldering iron burned red in the furnace.

"Come on!" Zhao Ji roared.

Li Xiang'an trembled his hands and held the handle of the soldering iron, feeling apprehensive in his heart. But the emperor's order could not be disobeyed. Li Xiang'an was ruthless, picked up the soldering iron and gently burned it on Zhao Ji's left forehead. Zhao Ji snorted coldly, but did not call out.

The entire school yard was completely silent, and there was not even a sound of breathing. The scorching sun shone on Zhao Ji's forehead, and a blood-red fire character was particularly eye-catching.

"This is the brand of the Golden Fire Cavalry, in the past, everyone felt ashamed when they were soldiers, and there was even a saying that good men should not be soldiers. Today, I am also a soldier, as a golden fire cavalry, a small soldier under the command of General Xiong. I will bear this humiliation with you. From this day forward, I will also stay in this forbidden army camp, eat and sleep with you, and train together. I will live and die with you, share glory and disgrace. Zhao Ji pointed to the brand on his forehead and said loudly.

"I want to tell you today that we are soldiers so that every citizen can have their own land, to guard the land under their feet, and to live a good life for their parents, wives and children at home. That is, from this day forward, I will lead you to land, glory and wealth. Zhao Ji said loudly.

Zhao Ji knew that in order to change the law, he had to firmly hold the gun and knife in his hands. And the only way is to be with the soldiers, to make them loyal to themselves, not to their own yellow robes.

"Will you follow me?" Zhao Ji waited for the soldiers' allegiance.

"Long live our emperor! Long live our emperor! The soldiers cheered.

Zhao Ji didn't give them anything, but with the identity of the emperor and the courage to share honor and disgrace, the soldiers believed in Zhao Ji's promise.

In the scorching sun, Kumamoto picked out another 5,000 Golden Fire Cavalry soldiers. Like Zhao Ji, in addition to the tattoo on their foreheads, they also have a brand word, a blood-red fire character.

Through the competition in the ring, Zhao Ji has ten more fierce generals. Li Jirong, Gao Fei, Yang Jin, Guo Kai, Luo Hao, Sun Haoying, Wu Jianhao, Sun Wencheng, Niu Zaigao, Bao Huaishan, these ten people later followed Zhao Ji to fight in the south and the north, and were known as the top ten marshals.

Anyone who has watched "Water Margin" knows that there are many fierce generals in the Great Song Dynasty, but the national policy suppressed them and did not give them the opportunity to show their martial arts. Therefore, throughout the Song Dynasty, there were many literary heroes, but there were very few famous generals, only a handful, and they had to be branded as Confucian generals.
