Chapter 14: Undercurrents
Since the beginning of the Northern Expedition, the good news of the Song army will be one after another, and some people even draw a map of the Central Plains by hand, and constantly mark the recovered place names on the map according to the good news sent back by the Song army, and ask around every day if the Song army has new good news to pass back, so that they can mark a new mark on the map drawn by themselves. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info But this time the news is not what they want to hear, first of all, their marshal Gao Huaiyuan personally led the army to win the great victory of Linying, and the big guy was still immersed in the joy of the imminent destruction of the Jin country, and the people on the streets and alleys were running to tell each other, ready to celebrate the complete victory that was about to come, but the news came that the Mongol army was besieging Xuzhou.
Such news is undoubtedly like pouring cold water on people's heads, which makes people a little unacceptable.
So the streets and alleys began to talk again, some people scolded the Tartar is not a thing, and the net to the Great Song Dynasty made trouble, and Ba hoped that their handsome man could teach the Mongolian Tartar a lesson...
Some people cautiously analyzed the risk component of this battle, although the Song army has become more and more able to fight over the years, but after all, this time I heard the news that the Song army's strength is much less than that of the Mongolian army, otherwise, it would not be besieged in Xuzhou City, so some people expressed their worries.
But there are also people who are a little happy, because many of them in this group, because after Gao Huaiyuan took power, he cut a large number of places in the imperial examination, so that many people who originally thought they could be on the gold list of high school students ended up on the list, so these people didn't care whether their level was too poor or not, so they attached their resentment to Gao Huaiyuan, although they didn't dare to say that they hoped that Gao Huaiyuan would simply be killed by the Mongolian Tartars this time, but secretly they were still secretly happy, and really hoped that Gao Huaiyuan would be over this time.
The palace is still lifeless, during this period of time, Zhao Yun has restrained a lot, and picked it up again, and he has indulged in lust in the harem every day, and from time to time he will find someone to play chess, or pick up a pen to practice calligraphy and painting, and his complexion seems to be better...
And he seems to have a much better temper, and he no longer beats and scolds those palace maids and eunuchs at every turn, and when the people in the palace see him, he will show a smile from time to time, and reward something at every turn, and gradually Zhao Yun's popularity in the palace will be much better, and people will no longer hate him so much. An Jie is also willing to see it happen, Zhao Yun's change at least caused him a lot of trouble, and all this seems to be due to the imperial doctor Yu Tianxi, An Jie secretly monitored Yu Tianxi and Zhao Yun's contact several times, and what he heard was that Yu Tianxi often warned Zhao Yun that he should cultivate his self-cultivation and never mention any questions about political affairs, and gradually An Jie relaxed his surveillance of Yu Tianxi, and Zhao Yun would summon Yu Tianxi from time to time, giving Yu Tianxi the right to walk around the palace. It is much more convenient for Yu Tianxi to enter the palace.
On September 24 of the fifth year of Shaoding, Yu Tianxi entered the palace with some pills that Zhao Yun wanted, and chatted with the guards of the front palace from time to time along the way.
Yu Tianxi walked into the apse, Zhao Yun was studying painting here, and when he saw Yu Tianxi coming in, he smiled and said, "Yu Aiqing is here!" The medicine I have already dispensed? ”
Yu Tianxi knelt down and bowed to Zhao Yun and replied, "Qi Shengshang, it's already ready!" Wechen is here to deliver medicine today! ”
Zhao Yun dropped the brush, walked out from behind the bookcase, sat down on a soft couch, put his hand on the low table on the soft couch and said to Yu Tianxi: "Yu Aiqing is exempt from courtesy!" Come and check my pulse, and see how the weather is like for me! ”
Yu Tianxi immediately stood up, respectfully presented a small box in front of Zhao Yun, and then a small yellow door moved a brocade stool for him, placed it next to the soft couch, and immediately retreated far away to the side to wait.
"Thank you, sir! There is a big official Lao who helped Yu get the sachet! I'm going to take the pulse of the saints! Yu Tianxi said to the little yellow door with a kind smile...
Xiao Huangmen looked at Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun waved his hand and asked him to get it, so Xiao Huangmen hurriedly ran out of the hall to get the incense bag for Yu Tianxi.
Yu Tianxi and Zhao Yun glanced at each other, and immediately leaned next to the soft couch and said in a very low voice: "Your Majesty, the opportunity has come!" That guy was surrounded by nearly 100,000 Mongolian troops in the small city of Xuzhou, and the other armies were hundreds of miles away, and they were powerless to rescue Xuzhou, not to mention whether he could hold out for long, but during this time, everyone's attention was attracted to the Battle of Xuzhou! It's time for us to get started! ”
Zhao Yun's brows twitched a few times, as if he was playing with those pills, and then pretended to ask for medicine, and whispered, "Are you sure?" ”
"Foolproof! Chen Zhen is already dying, and after Liu Dayong took the medicine we prepared for him, his health has become worse and worse during this time! And Ji Xiancheng also started taking medicine some time ago, and he can let them fall down at any time!
The person in charge of the city is now a guy named Jia Qi, but because Xuzhou is besieged, this person is focused on the Central Plains, and he has no time to pay attention to the movements of the capital for a while!
So it's the best time, and if you miss it, you won't have such a good opportunity. Zhao Yun couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad on his face, the last time Zheng Qingyi party abolished such a big scheming, and he couldn't get rid of Gao Huaiyuan, but Gao Huaiyuan came to the side of a Qingjun, almost uprooted Zheng Qingyi's party, and completely hollowed him out, this time with Yu Tianxi and them, Zhao Yun really didn't have much confidence, but looking at Yu Tianxi's expression, he was a little tempted.
The power thing is so wonderful, nothing makes him more comfortable than the feeling of being on top of him, as long as Gao Huaiyuan is still alive for a day, then it is impossible for him to regain power, and now there is a rare opportunity for Gao Huaiyuan to be trapped in Xuzhou, such a good opportunity, if he doesn't dare to grasp it, then the opportunity must not be lost and will not come again! He Zhao Yun still understands this...
"But can your power control the Kyoshi?" Zhao Yun was still not at ease, and asked in a low voice.
"Holy Lord, please rest assured, although there are many cronies in the front division of the palace, but the backbone is only Chen Zhen and Liu Dayong, and now the elites have gone out with the army, and the soldiers and horses of the front division of the palace and the infantry division have also been transferred to Jiankang and Zhenjiang Chen, there are not many remaining troops in the capital, we have contacted a group of people who dare to die, and we can control the soldiers and horses of the front division of the temple in the city in a short time!" Yu Tianxi put his finger on Zhao Yun's wrist, pretended to take his pulse, and replied in a low voice. "But what about the arch saint in the palace? What to do? Zhao Yun thought of An Jie and Gong Shengzhi under his command.
"It's going to be fine, Gong Shengzhi can solve it with just a little medicine in their food! And Weichen has also prepared a group of people, who can enter the palace at any time, as long as the saint nods, we can launch it at any time! Yu Tianxi replied immediately.
Zhao Yun pondered for a moment, as if he was still hesitating, Yu Tianxi continued: "There are also our reliable people among the royal family and the ministers in the city, they are ready at any time to come out to escort King Qin!" Your Majesty, you can't hesitate! This is the best opportunity, once Gao Huaiyuan breaks the siege in Xuzhou, then it will be too late! His reputation will be on the rise, and no one will be able to bring him down again! The only way to win or lose is here! Could it be that the Holy One is willing to be his puppet forever? ”
Yu Tianxi's words completely hit Zhao Yun's sore spot, Zhao Yun has hated Gao Huaiyuan for a long time, such a puppet-like life, he has already lived enough, Zhao Yun is almost tortured by such a life and goes crazy, if it weren't for Yu Tianxi giving him new hope, I'm afraid he would have gone completely crazy by this time...
How he doesn't want to take back his rights! For this day, he even followed the example of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and gave Yu Tianxi a jade belt edict, so that Yu Tianxi could secretly gather strength and help him regain imperial power.
Now that the opportunity has finally come, how can he miss such a great opportunity! It's better to die than to be locked up in a palace like a prison every day!
"Good! Let's do it! As long as Aiqing helps me regain the imperial power, then whatever you want, I will give it to you! ”
"Wechen has no idea of being greedy for power, Wechen just doesn't want to see Gao Huaiyuan so authoritarian and play with the Great Song Dynasty in the palm of his hand! As long as he can help the saint regain the imperial power, then Weichen will immediately return to his hometown to practice medicine! Yu Tianxi replied with an oath...
This sentence moved Zhao Yun almost to tears, once people are paranoid and hope to get something, they will not be very good at brains, Zhao Yun has long forgotten at this time, Yu Tianxi thought that he was Shi Miyuan's doorman back then, he was a doctor, why should he rely on Shi Miyuan? Don't you still want to be powered? It's a pity that Zhao Yun forgot this.
Yu Tianxi can't measure him with ordinary people's thoughts, he used to be just a langzhong, but this person has been restless since he was a teenager, and his medical practice is so-so, but he has been thinking about how to be an official...
If Lang Zhong wants to become an official, in the end, he will only be able to mix in the Taiyi Bureau as a Tai Doctor, he has a grade but no right, Yu Tianxi has never thought of being only a Tai Doctor with a product, and he has no way, and he can't get into the Tai Yi Bureau, so in the early years, he invested in Shi Miyuan's door and became a doorman, just to get out of the way!
As a result, he didn't think that he had not yet mixed up, Shi Miyuan was pulled out by Gao Huaiyuan, and later although Gao Huanyuan did not blame him for the past, he saw that his medical skills were not bad, and he was sent to the Taiyi Bureau as a doctor, but this guy didn't care about Gao Huaiyuan's good at all, and after seeing Gao Huaiyuan's dictatorship, he started the idea of helping the emperor again.
Don't look at this kid as just a doctor, he has a lot of connections in the capital and places, and often goes in and out of the homes of the powerful people in the city to diagnose the officials, but he really attracts a group of people who are dissatisfied with Gao Huaiyuan.
After all, Gao Huaiyuan entered the government with martial arts, and he was in charge of the government and the opposition, and there were really many people who were officials who couldn't get used to his behavior, so sometimes they would scold Gao Huaiyuan from time to time, and Gao Huaiyuan didn't do anything like that, so these people scolded Gao Huaiyuan while doing things for Gao Huaiyuan, so that Yu Tianxi gradually figured out the thoughts of many people, and secretly said that some people wanted to take power from the dragon and then support Zhao Yun to take power, once that time came, Yu Tianxi was the first credit, Then those who follow him will naturally be reused ...
Liu Dayong has not recovered since he felt the wind and cold at the beginning of the year, and he has seen the doctor of the Taiyi Bureau many times, and he has really taken a lot of medicine, not only his body has deteriorated, although he has changed a few doctors, but Liu Dayong does not know that these doctors are secretly arranged by Yu Tianxi, and they have already colluded to harm Liu Dayong.
So after Liu Dayong arrived in the summer, he began to be bedridden, but he didn't expect that this was the hands and feet of Yu Tianxi's group of imperial doctors in the back, and after entering September, his body was even more unbearable, and the military affairs could not be handled, so he handed it over to his subordinates to take care of it for him.
And Ji Xiancheng also fell ill by chance in early September, and was seen by the imperial doctor, so he also fell ill, and gradually became unable to manage government affairs, so he recuperated at home.
And many people from Gao Huaiyuan's family who are in important positions in the capital, during this time, they have fallen ill inexplicably, look for Lang Zhong! It's all some very normal diseases, I can't see why, even Wei Liaoweng fell ill in bed for no reason not long ago, and he couldn't afford to be sick, so many affairs came to a halt.
And whether it was Jia Qi or Ji Xiancheng, they didn't realize the problem at first, and even if they might have realized it, they didn't think about it deeply, because they were all confused by the calm of this time, and even made a big mistake, that is, in order not to distract Gao Huaiyuan, so that Gao Huaiyuan could focus on the war on the front line, they invariably concealed the news that Ji Xiancheng and others were seriously ill, and kept silent about these things in their intelligence exchanges with Gao Huaiyuan on weekdays. So much so that Gao Huaiyuan never knew about these things in the army.
At this time, Jia Qi learned of Gao Huaiyuan's plan in advance, in order to detect more information about the Jin Army for Gao Huaiyuan, he used the power of the Dark Blade, and took a group of elite subordinates who were not subordinate to the military, and left Lin'an on September 15 and rushed to the Central Plains, wanting to use the master of the Dark Blade to find out more information about Jin Meng for Gao Huaiyuan.
In addition, after the news that Gao Huaiyuan was besieged by the Mongol army in Xuzhou returned to the capital, some people who were originally afraid of Gao Huaiyuan also thought that their opportunity to "set things right" had arrived, and those who were still hesitant also thought that this was a rare opportunity and must not be given up just like that.
The things that shouldn't be careless are still careless, and the last things that shouldn't happen still happen.
On September 29, when everyone's attention was still focused on the small Central Plains city of Xuzhou, another earth-shattering event occurred in Lin'an City.
