Chapter 711: Going to Die
readx;
When the wine was poured, Celtic first poured himself a sip, and then, without using chopsticks, grabbed a pig's trotter on the plate with one hand and devoured it. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info waited until his stomach felt a little oily, Celt raised his head to look at the good compatriot outside: "Child, what are they going to do with us?" Will it hang us? ”
Childe shook his head: "I inquired, their emperor has not yet hanged you, at present they seem to be busy competing for the position of the crown prince, and have no time to pay attention to you, I think, you may have to stay here for a while longer." ”
Jiri was a little frustrated: "Hell, I'd rather go and duel with them!" I don't want to stay in this hellish place where I can't see the sun for a day. ”
Celtic kicked him: "Don't say that about Gillry, respect those yellow-skinned people, even if they have more than 4,000 people who have caught us, but we have to think that one-on-one is not their opponent." Right, lovely Italian? ”
He was obviously a little unconvinced, and Charde touched his nose: "I can understand your feelings, do you think they bullied you by beating more and less?" I tell you, this is because you have not seen their army. ”
"How many troops do they have? Can it be our opponent of Duke William? ”
Duke William was William the Conqueror, who would be the first king of England in a while. His prestige in France was high, and his tens of thousands of troops were able to fight well and win battle after battle. William was Celtic's idol.
But Childe sniffed at it: "Just go out and see you." Their emperor had an army of millions, and he was even able to mobilize more if needed. In addition, he has dozens of vassal states, and as long as he gives an order, those vassal states will obey him. ”
"A million people? Does it include women and children? Jiri said sarcastically, causing a burst of laughter in the cell.
These people do not believe Child's statement now, because it is simply impossible to maintain an army of one million by their European standards. Today's Europe is far inferior to Asia, and the later powers are not even as good as the East. Childe didn't explain anything, because he didn't believe in this fact when he didn't come to the Great Song either.
"Well, stay here honestly, and all you have to do every day is pray to God, and if I have a chance to convince their emperor, maybe you can stay a few days less."
This was the only hope these people had now, but Childe knew that it was very slim to make it happen. Now there are many missions to the Great Song Dynasty, the large ones are more than a thousand, and the small ones have more than a dozen people. Moreover, most of them have prepared state letters, and they have serious state affairs to discuss, and there is really no way to attract the attention of Renzong with just one mouth like Child.
Except for that day at the docks, it was very difficult for him to see Renzong again. Especially for a while, because of the prince, Renzong was in a very bad mood. In Child's opinion, this is simply an incredible thing, the world is benevolent, he can give it to whoever he wants, why can others point fingers?
These Orientals are really strange, and I have to adapt to them as soon as possible. When will their emperor be in a better mood? Caird didn't know either. But he knew that now it was as if the country was waiting for someone to come back and solve the problem.
Who can solve a problem that even a king can't solve? Charde was very interested in this man.
Now Da Song's problem is waiting for Chen Yuan to come back and solve it. Because Chen Yuan is a party, a very important party. Whether it is in favor of Renzong's recognition of Zhao Shi as his grandson, or against it, they are all gearing up, waiting for Chen Yuan to come back and the two sides will fight again.
But Su Xiaoyou was unwilling to let Chen Yuan come back and solve the problem. She knows the hole cards of both sides very well, and she also knows that since Chen Shimei dares to come back from Yingzhou, there must be a way to let those princes dispel their doubts.
If the problem is solved when Chen Yuan comes back, won't he be useless at all? Therefore, Su Xiaoyou decided to get things done before Chen Shimei came back.
Her biggest advantage is knowing the hole cards of both sides in this fight. Renzong was just gambling, he was defending the authority of the emperor, and he did not allow anyone to threaten him in any way and order him. There is no real contradiction at all, and the so-called contradiction is just the imagination of those princes who did not listen to Renzong's words and based on Sima Guang's description.
Others can't do it because other people don't know what Renzong thinks. Even if you guess one or two, you don't have the ability to call the two sides together to sit down.
In this regard, Su Xiaoyou has a unique advantage, and she is now Zhao Shu's aunt, which gives Su Xiaoyou an identity that can speak on this matter. If he let go of this opportunity like this, Su Xiaoyou would feel sorry for himself.
So when she learned the news that Chen Shimei was about to come back, she asked Su Yan to find King Pu in the morning and invite him to the palace. King Pu must bow his head first, and Su Xiaoyou also believes that he can convince King Pu. As long as Pu Wang is willing to bow his head, then let Renzong talk about it, this is a very simple matter.
When Renzong went to court, Su Xiaoyou began to do the work of King Pu, just as she thought, when she told King Pu that if King Pu was willing to give in, Renzong would not replace Zhao Shu, King Pu agreed very simply.
The moment King Pu nodded, Su Xiaoyou was full of confidence.
It is true that this is a very simple thing, but sometimes, in certain situations, simple things can become very complicated.
This was not only something that Su Xiaoyou didn't expect, but even Chen Yuan himself didn't think of.
Why did those ministers worry so much when they heard that Chen Shimei's son was going to be Renzong's grandson? Why did those princes treat the child who changed his surname to Zhao like a great enemy? The reason is simple, it is not groundless.
If Renzong accepted the son of Li Wei and the eldest princess, then he would accept it, and the ministers and princes would not say anything at all. But Chen Shimei's son is different, Chen Shimei has the ability to make their guessed result come true, and many people are happy to see that ending.
Although things are now temporarily suppressed by Xia Zhu. But the turbulent undercurrent under the calm waves became even more violent.
Just as Su Xiaoyou was about to mediate this matter, more than twenty people gathered in a room in Crescent Moon Villa. Most of these more than 20 people are from the Chamber of Commerce, as well as ministers like Xia Sui and Wang Anshi.
In addition, there are several representatives of the Spring and Autumn Society.
One of the students looked very excited, because they had just said that they would mobilize all the students in Bianjing to jointly write a letter asking Renzong to appoint Chen Shimei as the imperial lieutenant and Xia Zhu's successor.
The proposal was approved by everyone here, but Chen Shizhong used his veto. He still knows Chen Shimei's surname very well, and if Chen Shimei really wanted to be an official, he would have gone up a long time ago.
The student was very dissatisfied with Chen Shizhong's approach: "Second shopkeeper, please forgive me for being blunt, you said that the master of the horse has his ideas, but the student thinks that now when my Song Dynasty is in danger of integrity, the court is in charge, and the master of the horse should stand up and straighten things out and kick those young people out of the court, which is incumbent on him." ”
Xia Sui's brows furrowed: "It's a bit too much, although some people in the court don't agree with our opinions, but it doesn't necessarily mean that they are Xiaoxiao." ”
Another student next to him stood up: "What the adults said is that it's just like Sima Guang, Fan Chunyou's gang who rely on their fathers to steal the court, and they won't do anything but make trouble in the whole day, what do you want them to do?" Especially Sima Guang, he was one of the pioneers in opposing the New Deal at the beginning, and now that the New Deal has been implemented, if I were him, I should take the initiative to resign. ”
Xia Sui touched his nose and looked at Wang Anshi, feeling a little uneasy. These students are too radical, and there is nothing wrong with young people being radical, but the national affairs in the court cannot be solved by these people.
If the Spring and Autumn Society had always been such a concept, Xia Sui was worried that sooner or later they would make trouble, which might implicate Wang Anshi, and even worse, the Chamber of Commerce and Chen Shimei.
Xia Sui looked at Wang Anshi: "Jiepu, what do you mean?" ”
Of course, Wang Anshi would not be like those students, he thought for a while and said: "Sima Guang and Fan Chunyou are too much!" This matter is completely what the emperor meant, but they actually dared to refute it, Sima Guang also moved those princes out, and we must not back down. Supporting the emperor is what we should do. ”
Wang Anshi said that his eyes looked at Chen Shizhong, who was sitting in the middle, and in his opinion, now was his best opportunity.
Xia Zhu suppressed the turmoil in the court for the time being, and both sides had to give Xia Zhu a face, and Chen Shimei couldn't move until he came back. But Xia Zhuke couldn't control the things under the court. What the two lips of the common people say, Xia Zhu has no choice.
And among the people, the resources on their side are obviously much deeper than those on Sima Guang and Fan Chunyou's side. This also means that now as long as they are willing to do it, they can continue to attack, and Sima Guang can't fight back.
Such a favorable situation is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Wang Anshi knew that Chen Shizhong needed to speak up about this matter.
Chen Shizhong sat on the chair and was silent, he felt that everything was beyond his control. There was one thing he didn't tell Wang Anshi about, that is, several generals on the front line wrote back to Chen Shizhong after hearing the news.
Except for Di Qing's ambiguous attitude, eighty percent of the generals supported Chen Yuan! Na Tie Anli was even more direct. Now he has more than 30,000 Jurchen soldiers in his hands, and he has already completed the equipment. He said that if Chen Yuan needed it, he could bring troops back.
There are also Yang Wenguang and Liu Ping, who also made a statement, and now the sailor who is in Bianjing also quietly sent someone to tell him that the sailor is on their side, supporting Renzong and Chen Yuan.
It stands to reason that it is a good thing to have someone to support you. The army is on its own side, which can make it more emboldened.
But Chen Shizhong became more and more afraid.
He saw very clearly, why did these people support him? Why are they so eager to get involved in this fight? Is it just because Chen Yuanhe is good to them?
Wrong. They are so enthusiastic because they see an opportunity.
General, businessman, poor student.
These are people who were previously excluded from the core power by the scholars! Now that they feel that they are capable, why should you decide the affairs of the court? They have found this opportunity, and they want to challenge the privilege of the scholars!
The matter is really very complicated, it is not a matter between Zhao Shi and Zhao Shu, who can't speak yet, and a new force is using this matter to try to challenge those scholars!
This game is not a joke and will kill a lot of people.
