Chapter 220: Baoqing's Change
This edict was sprinkled with thousands of words, and reading it really made Zheng Qingzhi's mouth dry when he read it, and it was not easy to announce the edict. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
But some people are quite unhappy, Liang Chengda, who was also a close confidant of Shi Miyuan, did not have a law this time, but was directly demoted to the third level, and was still a righteous person in the court, and belonged to Ji Xiancheng's subordinates to do things, which made people a little angry, after all, Liang Chengda was once known as the three murderers under Shi Miyuan, and he helped Shi Miyuan do bad things, but the punishment was so low that people didn't understand Zhao Yun's intentions.
Only Gao Huaiyuan knows the ins and outs of this matter best, he naturally won't say it for everyone to know, so let everyone guess! Only Liang Chengda almost cried at this time, he originally thought that after going to the palace today, it would be basically impossible to think about it or go home alive, but he didn't think that the punishment given to him by Emperor Zhao Yun was only reduced by three levels, and he was left to be a righteous person in the court, he knew that Gao Huaiyuan really helped him a lot this time, compared with those previous comrades, he can now be said to be retreating, and even continue to be an official, Gao Huaiyuan's help is great, he is naturally very clear, Therefore, Gao Huaiyuan can be said to be grateful, and he just wants to jump at Gao Huaiyuan's feet and kiss his feet.
An early dynasty was opened until noon, which was considered to be the end, and the hundreds of officials in the court retreated from the palace with various complicated feelings, and Gao Huaiyuan, Zheng Qingzhi, Ji Xiancheng and other important ministers were left in the palace, Zhao Yun personally set up a banquet for wine, and also recruited the important generals involved in the mutiny into the palace to give a banquet and hospitality.
Zhao Yun was rarely so happy, and he raised his glass to toast to these close ministers again and again, so that these people had to drink, so they drank until it was dark before they got drunk and left the palace, so that the few days of the mutiny were completely over, and then it was time for Zheng Qingzhi and Ji Xiancheng to get busy.
Ji Xiancheng pulled Gao Huaiyuan to complain to him where no one was: What should I call you now? Lord or Lord? You redress my grievances, I naturally thank you, but why didn't you even ask me this time, and recommended me to be an official doctor? Have you forgotten that the old man has said that he does not want to be an official from now on? You still let me be this counselor, do you want the old man to offend all the officials in the world? I think you must have something else in mind!
Gao Huaiyuan saw that Ji Xiancheng was drinking a little high, so he smiled and said: In fact, Huaiyuan has always regarded Mr. as a teacher, and with Mr.'s talent and character, he did not enter the court as an official, which is really a regret of the Great Song Dynasty.
If I have a plan, then it is not false, Mr. is my confidant, only Mr. best understands my mind, for a long time in the future, I need to pay attention to the military of the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty has always emphasized literature and light military force, Mr. is also very clear, although it seems that I get along very well with the Wenchen, but sooner or later one day due to the heavy military of the official family, it will still attract the attack of the Wenchen, only Mr. in the court, can help me put my mind on the military, this is my little selfishness!
After Ji Xiancheng heard this, he looked at Gao Huaiyuan with some surprise and said to him: I didn't expect it! You can think so far ahead! would actually consider that in the future, civil officials will dump on you for the sake of power, which is really beyond the expectations of the old man! It seems that you are indeed very calm! The old man finally doesn't have to worry about you anymore!
All right! Since you want me to help you, then the old man will reluctantly make it difficult and do things in the court! But after becoming a counselor this time, I'm afraid I'm really going to offend all the officials! After saying that, Ji Xiancheng showed a helpless wry smile.
Gao Huaiyuan also showed a smile that had succeeded in his treacherous scheme, leaned over and whispered: Didn't Mr. just want to serve the country back then? At present, I have fulfilled the long-cherished wish of my husband's life, and now that you are here, many officials must be worried about their lives! Hey! Mr. just let it go and let Liang Chengda and these people act as pawns! It's just a good time to rectify the current government officials, and they in the province continue to be so smoky!
Ji Xiancheng shook his head, nodded again, and suddenly laughed out loud.
After the occurrence of the Lin'an military admonition, later generations called the Baoqing Change, which left a very strong mark in Chinese history, and since then Gao Huaiyuan has also stood out in the long river of history and walked to the forefront of history.
In just one year in the first year of Baoqing, two major events occurred in the Southern Song Dynasty, one was the Xiachuan change made by Zhao Hong at the beginning of the year, and the other was the Lin'an military advice presided over by Gao Huaiyuan at the end of the year, and the Lin'an military advice obviously had a much more far-reaching impact on history.
Although after Shi Miyuan's death, Emperor Zhao Yun did not pursue his previous mistakes, and also gave him the title of loyalty, and posthumously named him the king of Wei, but for those henchmen in his court, under the full blow of Gao Huaiyuan and Zheng Qingzhi, all the core members were arrested, and under the instruction of Zhao Yun, all these people were handed over to Dali Temple, and several officials led by Ji Xiancheng were specially ordered to try their cases. And the speed of the trial was very fast, and in just a few days, these people were convicted, those who should be killed, and those who should be exiled, without giving them any chance, and only then did the dust settle when the mutiny was settled.
This time the military advice can be said to have come too suddenly, and it can be said that there is no warning in advance, and even Shi Miyuan's party in the Beijing division has not been able to detect it in advance, let alone others, so when all parts of the country learned the news that Shi Miyuan was scared to death in the mutiny, everything in Lin'an City was already under Zhao Yun's control.
And those Shi Miyuan's henchmen who were officials in the local area immediately became panicked all day long, for fear that the imperial court would expand the scope of the attack after the military admonition, but within a few days, all localities received the holy decree of the imperial court, which stated that this matter would be over, and that the previous things would not be blamed in the past, and as long as the officials from all over the country were dedicated to assisting the current saint in the future, they would no longer mention the previous things and blame them.
These people finally breathed a long sigh of relief, although they were not very relieved, but thinking that Shi Miyuan had been killed, even if they wanted to agree or not, with their local power, they would not be able to set off any big storms, so the local officials in various places, after this mutiny, seemed to be very obedient, and there was no chaos that the royalists were worried about.
Many local officials wrote to the imperial court, explaining as much as possible their deference to the current imperial court, and trying to clarify their relationship with Shi Miyuan's party.
And the fall of Shi Miyuan's party, whether it is in the official or military, or even the people, but also attracted a voice of applause, especially the common people, these years have simply hated Shi Miyuan's party to the extreme, under the toss of the Shi Party, the local officials in various places are corrupt, and the people are miserable, and the Shi Party also printed a large number of new Huizi, no longer exchanged for gold, silver, and copper money, but only exchanged for the old Huizi with the new Huizi, and discounted the old Huizi by half. As a result, the price of the currency fell, prices soared, and the people were struggling to make a living.
This time, after hearing that Gao Huaiyuan, the military attache of the DPRK and China, led the troops to launch a military admonition, scared Shi Miyuan to death and wiped out the Shi Dang, many ordinary people immediately rushed to tell each other, celebrated with their foreheads, and couldn't help but be grateful to Gao Huaiyuan, the head of the military admonition.
And the officials who were in the official because they refused to attach themselves to Shi Miyuan's party, as well as the officials who were deposed because of this, after learning the news, many people couldn't help but cry with joy, bowed in the direction of Lin'an City, and praised Zhao Yun's move, especially after hearing that people like Zhen Dexiu and Wei Liaoweng were recalled by the imperial court to Lin'an again, and the students of the Southern Song Dynasty can be said to be all subdued, so that Zhao Yun's court won the support of most of the scholars in the court and the opposition this time.
As for the military, after the occurrence of this military admonition, it was also very shaken, especially when Gao Huaiyuan, who heard that he had launched this military admonition, was entrusted with a heavy task by the imperial court, and was crowned as the crown prince and young protector.
Although the Song army was defeated in the Kaixi Northern Expedition, but in the military and the people in the past hundred years, the call for the Northern Recovery of the Central Plains has never stopped, especially many generals in the military, these years have felt very cowardly, Shi Miyuan killed the main battle faction of Han Yanxuan, then adopted a blind surrender and compromise policy, presided over and Jin signed a more humiliating Jiading collegial agreement than before, many of the main battle faction were expelled from the court, exiled to the people, for a time the Southern Song Dynasty main battle faction was dealt an unprecedented blow.
Moreover, Shi Miyuan later rehabilitated Qin Hui, who had been stripped of his official title by Han Yanxuan, which caused an uproar among the people and scolding everywhere, but the Southern Song Dynasty military has never been strong, and can only be constrained by civilian officials.
This time, Gao Huaiyuan stood out after the military admonition and was entrusted with the post of privy envoy, which is undoubtedly super good news for the military attaché department.
Everyone knows that Gao Huaiyuan had fought with the Jin army in his early years, and he can be regarded as a standard soldier, and he can be promoted to the privy envoy as a military general and take charge of the military affairs of the Southern Song Dynasty, which naturally shows that after this incident, the status of the military general in the court has been greatly improved.
As a result, the military everywhere was shocked, looking forward to bringing some new atmosphere to the military after Gao Huaiyuan took office.
Gao Huaiyuan will naturally not live up to the high hopes of many patriots, although he is now also the commander of the front of the palace, but after the admonition, he doesn't have to ask too much about the affairs of the front of the palace, there are Hua Yue, Zhao Futang These people, the front of the palace will become stronger and stronger under their leadership, and it won't be long before they can become an absolutely elite army in the Song army.
After Gao Huaiyuan assumed the post of privy envoy, he immediately set his sights on the garrison army of the Metropolitan Commander in various places and some newly established new armies of various names in various places.
