Chapter Ninety-Five: The Straw Bag is in Charge
Zhao Yun has been here for a while, since Gao Huaiyuan returned to his hometown to guard the system, he felt that his mood began to improve again, and suddenly Gao Huaiyuan was missing from the court, and he no longer felt as stable as before! Instead, he felt as if there was less pressure on him, allowing him to breathe more freely. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
According to Xie Mulin's idea for him, he gradually replaced a group of guards in the palace that Gao Huaiyuan had arranged for him at the beginning, and also replaced the eunuchs who were close to him with some new little eunuchs, so that he felt that he seemed to be much safer.
And with the help of Zheng Qingzhi, he began to cultivate a group of forces loyal to him, and gradually began to replace some of Gao Huaiyuan's descendants with people he was relieved of, so that most of the military power returned to his hands, although he felt somewhat sorry for what Gao Huaiyuan did for him, but listened to Xie Mulin's words: This world is the world of the official family, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty are also the courtiers of the official family, which should be!
After Zhao Yun heard this, he no longer felt that everything was as it should be, since he transferred a group of officials and sent them to local officials, the court seemed to be much quieter, there were fewer disputes between Gao Huaiyuan's faction and Zheng Qingyi's faction, and his ears were much cleaner.
In addition, there are now Zhen Dexiu and Wei Liaoweng in the court, who are able ministers to run government affairs for him, and in the past two years, they have vigorously clarified the rule of officials, rectified the finances, and the treasury has become increasingly abundant.
Especially Gao Huai is far away from the capital, he doesn't seem to care about what others think of his private life, Xie Mulin is really considerate, and he has been selected into the palace with many beautiful women, which makes Zhao Yun a little uncontrollable, and gradually began to alienate himself from the government and politics, and he is nostalgic for the flowers every day.
Zheng Qingzhi also tactfully reminded Zhao Yun a few times, but Zhao Yun also laughed at it, and didn't take it too seriously, just a little restrained.
As for Zheng Qingzhi's plan to use Liu Qi and Yao Yuzhong to replace Zhao Fan and Zhao Futang, the commander of Jingdong's garrison army, Zhao Yun did not approve it for the time being, after all, Jingdong was single-handedly defeated by Gao Huaiyuan, and now Zhao Fan and Zhao Futang are both doing a good job, and the government and the opposition have a good evaluation of the two of them, and they are removed for no reason, and it is not good to block the mouth of Youyou, so Zhao Yun plans to put it for a while and then talk about it, and see if there is a chance, give the two of them a line, Then it was not too late to let Liu Qi and Yao Yuzhong go to Jingdong.
Time passed very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, another year passed, with the arrival of the new year, Zhao Yun had a whim, and ordered to change the year name to Shaoding, so after this New Year, he changed the year name to the first year of Shaoding.
But often things will take a turn for the better, just when Zhao Yun felt that the emperor's life was getting more and more comfortable day by day, but suddenly something big happened, not that the Mongols on the Jingdong side launched an attack on Jingdong, but that in March, a major event came from Ganzhou that shocked the government and the opposition.
Ganzhou's Haoqiang Chen Sangun and Zhang Mowang suddenly gathered tens of thousands of chaotic people, launched an unusually huge uprising on Jiangnan West Road, in just one month, they captured several prefectures and counties, and a large number of surrounding people rose up in response to the uprising of the two of them, for a time Jiangnan West Road, Fujian East Road and other places of the chaotic people have the potential to spark the prairie fire.
After Zhao Yun was shocked to hear the news, he hurriedly ordered the two government governments to send troops to suppress it, but what he never expected was that the suppressed troops sent by the government were defeated by the rebel army, and the rebel army suddenly invited a big banner that Zhao Yun did not expect.
Chen Sangun posted the list everywhere, once again mentioning Zhao Yun's accession to the throne, pointing out that Zhao Yun was not the heir designated by the emperor, but Shi Miyuan seized the throne of the crown prince Zhao Hong, and only then ascended the throne and became the emperor, Zhao Yun is a pseudo-emperor, the real emperor should be the crown prince Zhao Hong, and also claimed that they had found Zhao Hong, and were ready to support Zhao Hong to ascend the throne on Jiangnan West Road, take charge of Dabao, and also in the name of Zhao Hong, exempt the miscellaneous taxes of the people on Jiangnan West Road and Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and other roads. For a time, it was supported by many ordinary people in these places.
After the news reached Jingshi, Zhao Yun seemed to be burned to the buttocks, over the years, he almost forgot about Zhao Hong, although in the past two years he sent people to constantly look for Zhao Hong's whereabouts, wanting to cut the grass and roots, cut off Zhao Hong's scourge, but Zhao Hong is like the world has evaporated, there has been no news, and gradually Zhao Yun thinks that Zhao Hong may not know where he died, otherwise he would not even be able to find a trace.
This time the civil unrest in Ganzhou suddenly played the banner of Zhao Hong, which immediately made Zhao Yun panic again, and hurriedly convened the ministers of the court and China to discuss how to deal with this matter.
Zheng Qingzhi suggested reducing or exempting the miscellaneous taxes borne by the common people in these places, severely punishing the corrupt officials in these places, cutting off the support of the rebel army in the people from the source, and at the same time sending soldiers and horses to Ganzhou immediately to exterminate the rebel people of Chen Sangun and Zhang Demon King, and caught Zhao Hong and beheaded him on the spot.
And Zhen Dexiu and Wei Liaoweng opposed them doing this, after all, when Zhao Yun ascended the throne, there were indeed many doubts behind the scenes, and from the bottom of their hearts, Zhen Dexiu and Wei Liaoweng still sympathized with the crown prince Zhao Hong, so they thought that it was better to appease and not use force too much.
But of course Zhao Yun refused to listen to the opinions of Zhen Dexiu and Wei Liaoweng in this matter, thinking that the two of them were still sympathetic to Zhao Hong and wanted to help Zhao Hong speak, so he angrily reprimanded the two of them and drove the two of them home to introspect.
As for Zheng Qingzhi's proposal, Zhao Yun of course supported it, and immediately handed over the matter to Zheng Qingzhi to be responsible, and Zheng Qingzhi also thought that it was the right time for him to seize the military power, so he immediately ordered the Privy Council to mobilize troops and horses, and the military department prepared armor, and immediately let Liu Yu be the envoy, Yao Yu was the main general of the army, and immediately went to Jiangnan West Road to quell the chaos.
Zheng Qingzhi's purpose in doing this is obvious, that is, to take this opportunity to make Liu Xuan and Yao Yu neutral, and then kick Zhao Fan and Zhao Futang down, and these two people like to talk about the art of war when they have nothing to do on weekdays, and they seem to know how to fight, which makes Zheng Qingzhi very confident in them.
What's more, in Zheng Qingzhi's opinion, chaotic armies like Chen Sangun and Zhang Demon King are just a rabble of grass heads, and these two people should be able to clean them up very easily.
And these two straw bales also worked really hard, after getting the holy decree, they immediately ordered the generals to raise troops and quickly rushed to Jiangnan West Road.
