Volume 3 Mending the Cracks in the Sky Chapter 47 The World Is Like Chess (End)
Bianliang changed the palace twice, and finally gradually settled down. No matter how the situation changes, life should still be lived. The tea shop of the Washe wine shop has been reopened. The flow of people on the street began to shuttle back and forth, and the people of Bianliang began to pass on the gossip in the current court situation, as usual.
Even the big ball market on the side of Jinshuimen also held a six-team competition to warm up for the postponed seven-year season of Xuanhe.
It seems to be a weekday scene, but the difference is only the Xuande Building, which is still being rebuilt, and the cavalry soldiers of the Northern Yan King who are gradually decreasing in Bianliang City, reminding everyone that this Bianliang is no longer the imperial capital that has been rich and prosperous for decades in the past.
The adjustment of the court pattern is in full swing, showing that after King Yan further grasped the power, he did not stop to enjoy the position of the pinnacle of power, but was still planning for the future. For this heroic figure, the people in Bianliang are tacitly agreed not to mention his name in gossip and gossip. Now Bianliang is really more afraid of this character than respectful, and he can't talk about loyalty and love. However, even the husband was connected with the soldiers and horses from other towns and was neatly cleaned up by King Yan, how dare they, the little people, make any moves?
Since this is the case, it is better to clamp the bird's beak in the matter of King Yan and live a leisurely life.
Everyone thinks that after two palace changes, all parties dare not challenge King Yan for the time being, and this quiet life should last a little longer?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In this lively and leisurely day of Bianliang's wealth, which is somewhat different from usual, one by one the edicts representing the adjustment of the court situation were issued one after another.
Hold the rebels hostage. and hook up with other towns. Geng Nanzhong, the culprit who wants to abolish the crown prince and restore the throne. It's already been punished. The saint G'en, the three tribes all flow thousands of miles, and the military state is under management. One should be Geng Nanzhong's henchmen, who had already pursued the words since his birth, punished his right-hand man and his henchmen seven, his own relatives sat and flowed thousands of miles, his family property was confiscated, and the military state was in charge. The remaining thirty-three people. All flow for 3,000 miles, the saint is gracious, the family does not sit, if there is grace, all are pursued, and their family property is copied into the official. The above offenders are not allowed to take the examination within three generations.
In addition, 119 people were involved in the turmoil, including He Li, a Chinese and Korean counselor, Beijing officials, and election officials. All dismissed officials and dismissed, and the words since their birth were seized. or flow 3,000 miles, or arrange, or assassinate for the army, or punish for poor service, the family does not sit down, if there is grace, they will be taken away, and the children and nephews will not be allowed to take the exam for life.
Yao Gu, the general of the Xihe Army, father and son, were bewitched by Geng Nanzhong and others, and they sent troops privately without edicts. Thinking of his ignorant people, and when the army arrived in Xijing, he suddenly realized that he asked King Yan to surrender to the army of King Yan. The saint Jia'en, Yao Gu's father and son were dismissed from office, chased down the writing since their birth, and arranged and managed Hedong Road. The children of the Yao family, because the Emperor and Song Dynasty have contributed for decades, they have worked hard. The grace of the saints, or the dismissal or demotion of officials, should be grateful for the grace of heaven and contribute to redeem the future.
Cai Jing, an important minister, was deeply blessed by the Holy Grace and had been in charge of the center for decades, but he still participated in the turmoil, and was in collusion with the culprit Geng Nanzhong, although he was not the culprit of the abolished prince, he was still unforgivable, and he was imprisoned to be executed when the order of torture and death was ordered in the autumn. Cai Jing's children were all dismissed from official positions and seized their posts, chased down the writing since their birth, compiled and managed the military state, and their family property was confiscated into the official. The Cai family, grace and shade, are imprisoned for three generations, and are not allowed to take the exam.
Although the former princes of Dongfu were either ignorant of the opportunity or followed, although they did not participate in the chaos, they did not issue the traitor in advance, and it is still difficult to escape the blame. There is a difference between the punishment and the demotion.
The generals of the Yongning Army, Wang Yu and Ma Kuo, were puzzled by Geng Nanzhong, Cai Jing and others for a while, and the soldiers stabbed the river. Although the sin is deep, it is not an unforgivable cause. The saint was grateful, and the king was demoted three times and fined for one year. Sent to the new god of the capital gate Wei Yisheng Army deputy capital Yu Marquis envoy, with the expedition to the east of the river, the army in front of the guilty to make meritorious contributions. Ma Kuan was demoted three times, fined for one year, and sent to the newly built Tianwu Weisheng Army Du Yu Marquis, with the dispatch of Yandi, and the army to wait for the crime.
The abolished prince Zhao Huan was embraced by the chaotic army twice, and he was extremely rebellious in order to peek at the god position. However, the Taishang was still there, and the sage remembered the feelings of filial piety, and was demoted to the training envoy of the Weizhou regiment and managed the Taiyuan Mansion in Hedong.
The edict of condemnation was generally issued in this way. Overall, it's still a peaceful calculation. However, it finally set a precedent for the Great Song Dynasty to kill Wenchen. Let the scholars and scholars, facing the center that Xiao Yan now controls, have to have a lot of fear. But now the Wenchen scholars who are still in the East Mansion are not without soft grinding and hard resistance. For example, for Cai Jing, he should have made a decision, and when he didn't wait for torture and killing, he gave them a hard resistance and became a prisoner to be executed. Everyone knows that once the prison system is pending, even if it is a casual grace, Cai Jing will save his life - isn't it a suburban sacrifice to change the yuan soon?
The current princes of Dongfu naturally don't have deep feelings for Cai Jing, they are in Dongfu, but they can be suppressed enough by Cai Jing. But whether Cai Jing lives or dies is a matter of right and wrong, killing Geng Nanzhong and a few others, he can still pinch his nose and admit it. If the head is cut off and the head of the envoy is chopped, what will happen to them? This is not an exception! Even if he is desperately patting on the back like Zhang Bangchang, he is very resolute in this point, and if King Yan insists on going his own way, they, the princes of Dongfu, will scatter. In the end, Xiao Yan had to give in, anyway, the power of the Cai family was already empty, and it was just like that for the time being, leaving him with a dying life. The most important thing now is to stabilize the center and consolidate the authority.
Cai Jing is like this, and he naturally starts lighter with his martial ministers. Yao Gu's father and son, just in charge. The children of the Yao family are still in Xihe, which is equivalent to handing them over to the small species who are now in charge of the Western Army, and if he wants to keep them, he just follows him. Wang Yu Ma Kuo, although demoted, is still an important dispatch. On the contrary, it has the meaning of being taken under the command of King Yan and entrusted to his heart.
Although he was gentle with the generals, Xiao Yan was not polite at all to their strength, and mercilessly swallowed almost all the elite cavalry of the Xihe Army, as well as the entire Yongning Army. Under the expansion of Xiao Yan's strength, he has already begun to rebuild the Fourth Army.
After the punishment, it is natural to be rewarded for meritorious deeds.
Bai Shizhong is Dazai, and Shangshu's right servant shoots. Leading the East House. The rest of the princes of Dongfu. Most of them stayed. A new person was added, that is, Fang Teng, who was only thirty years old this year, and he jumped to get a cool umbrella for his servants. And he also led the important dispatch of the financial affairs of the Eastern Mansion and the Yin of the Kaifeng Mansion, and no one could treat this upstart as the new person in the last class of the Eastern Mansion.
The seed master Tao posthumously presented the king of Qinghe County, and the opening of the palace was the same as the three divisions, and there was a difference between Enyin's nephews and grandchildren. In the seed division, the Tianping Army Festival Envoy, and the Shaanxi Zhulu Pacification Envoy.
Han Shizhong carried the throne to protect the army and stayed behind. Hedong is a strategic envoy and leads the Shenwu to win the army. After Yue Fei entered the position of the loyal army, Yunnei was slightly envoy and led the dragon to defend the Wansheng army.
Xiao Yan finally rebuilt the Fourth Army with the strength under his command. The old foundation is naturally the Shenwu Winning Army, of which seventy percent of the main force is led by Han Shizhong, plus the new recruits in Hedong Yunnei, a total of forty-eight cavalry commanders. More than 16,000 generals are on the line. A cavalry army of the old Shenwu Changsheng Army, plus the strong main force of Yunnei raised by Wang Gui and others, and some soldiers and horses supported by Yandi. It mainly formed a group dominated by cavalry, called the Longwei Wansheng Army. A total of 34 cavalry commanders, more than 10,000 generals and soldiers.
And Xiao Yan originally had the remnants of the new army in the capital, plus the annexed Xihe Army, and the local military horses that Yandi followed into the guard, and built the Shenwei Yisheng Army, commanding 61 cavalry, and more than 26,000 generals. Wang Gui was transferred to the Xiangzhou regiment training envoy, leading the Shenwei righteous victory army, and Tang Huai and Wang Yu were the deputies. Wang Gui and Tang Huai, Xiao Yan had already flown to transfer them back. Of course, they also asked them to bring the eldest lady of the Guo family, but whether Guo Rong listens or not, this is not something that the dignified Yan King can decide. The so-called manpower is sometimes poor, especially when it comes to long-legged tsundere girls............
The main force of the original Yongning Army, and most of the horses of the Yandi Guard, built the Tianwu Weisheng Army, the 45 commanders of the cavalry, more than 15,000 army generals, Yu Jiang was the defense envoy of Cizhou, led the Tianwu Army, and Ma Kuang was the deputy. Intensify the formation and training of armaments, and turn to the Yandi.
In addition to the four armies, there are also Yan Wang Zhi and Mink Hat Zhi led by Yan Wang, all of which are elite and loyal people who dare to fight in this upper four armies, and they are filled into the two straights, compared to before, the scale has also greatly expanded, Yan Wang Zhi has more than 600 horses, and the mink hat has reached the scale of more than 1,000 horses!
And Zhang Xian entered the front of the palace to command the envoy, still led the royal front of the Banzhi, still mentioned the Imperial City Division, and added the Bianliang Four Walls Defense Envoy to send, the Ban Zhi and the four walls of the defense envoy under the military horses, there are also more than 3,000 generals and soldiers, and with this as the backbone, it can also be expanded.
It turned out that the Fourth Army was the Heavenly Martial Dragon Guard, and now the Fourth Army is the Shenwu Divine Guard, the Dragon Guard, and the Divine Warrior Winning Army has replaced the original Japanese Army, which is the first to support the Japanese army! Under Xiao Yan's command, it has swelled to more than 70,000 regular cavalry, all of whom are elite soldiers, and they can all be pulled out for field battles, this is Xiao Yan's ability to deter the center, subdue the world, and do a life-and-death decisive battle with the Jurchens!
As for Xiao Yan, he resigned several times from the imperial court, and he looked extremely respectful. is still the king of the county, and he still leads the West Mansion. The only one more concurrently sent who can't be resigned is the Yanyun River, Donghe, Beijing Ji Zhulu Xuanfu System Envoy!
The people in Beijing, when they saw this dispatch, already understood that King Yan's move to support the personal expedition was already in front of them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
May 18 of the seventh year of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty was the auspicious day of the imperial road selected by the Ministry of Rites.
Although the two warps have changed, this suburban sacrifice, under the auspices of Fang Teng, is still meticulous, and all of them are from Feng. It is the central government that is under Xiao Yan's control at the moment to consolidate the authority.
From Bianliang to the southern suburbs, the roads and bridges are all renovated. If there is a lack of the honor guard halogen book, it should be made as soon as possible. The Son of Heaven chariot from the Tang Dynasty also made reinforcement whitewash. If there is a shortcoming, it will be transferred from the two armies of Shenwei Tianwu who are still in Bianliang at this moment.
On the day of the suburban festival, the royal road of the Son of Heaven was sprinkled and swept new, the people of Bianliang bowed to the incense case, and thousands of armored people embraced the honor guard of the Son of Heaven and went south. And the civil and military officials of the same country, the crown and belt are like that, and they follow in order. When surging, it is as bright as clouds. The Han family is prestigious, and Yu Si Fangsheng is prosperous. Those elites of the Han family who traveled with them and came from Yandi, how could they have seen such a scene? Being in the queue, it's just a blank mind moving with the class. Only then do we know what kind of country King Yan led them to return to, and what kind of civilization they fought for!
In the Song Dynasty, there was a suburb for three years, and the new monarch was originally enthroned, but it was not necessary to change the Yuan ceremony in the suburbs. However, Zhao Kai's position is really not embarrassing. It is necessary to carry out this grand ceremony to unify the whole law. And this time is also a good time to consolidate the hearts of the people in the world - in a word. It's throwing money. The bureaucracy composed of the military generals of the Great Song Dynasty. Not everyone cares about what happened to Bianliang, whether they are in charge of the power of the ministers, and whether they can be transferred to officials sooner, whether they can pay less money and more copper, whether they can increase the daily minister's money, and whether they can reach the threshold of Enyin's children earlier.
The southern suburbs worship the sky, often to appreciate the world. It was also a lot of extra money for officials in the Song Dynasty. This time, in order to sacrifice the heavens, change the yuan ceremony. Fang Teng and Zuo Liao sent two people. One is also in charge of the financial affairs of the Eastern Mansion, and the other is in charge of Xiao Yan's belongings as the head of the Yan King Shogunate. With great effort, he prepared more than 7 million pieces of wealth and goods to enjoy the world and invite people's hearts. Although this figure is not comparable to the time of Song Renzong, the level of more than 12 million yuan for a reward in the suburbs is not comparable to that of Song Zhenzong. The power of the Great Song Dynasty has been going downhill over the years, and the rewards of the suburbs have been reduced all the way since Shenzong, and Zhao Ji is a big spender, and when the suburbs are rewarded, not only the amount is reduced, but the proportion of banknotes can reach six or seven percent. Zhao Kai ascended the throne for the first suburban sacrifice. With such generosity, presumably the central authority can consolidate a lot. After all, for most officials, the boss who can pay wages and bonuses on time is a good boss.
Of the more than 7 million rewards, only 30% of the banknotes are still new. It took a lot of effort to raise it. If it weren't for the recent copying of a batch of Wenchen's belongings, Xiao Yan, who now needs military and war expenses everywhere, really wouldn't have been able to take it out. Cai Jing has accumulated a lot of money in his life, in addition to real estate, in Bianliang alone, there are more than 2 million yuan of goods that can be realized. It is no joke that he has been in charge of the center for decades, has been bribed, has a wide range of financial resources, and is extravagant.
Rao is wronged big head is now imprisoned in the prison Cai Jing dang, Xiao Yan is in the queue, still frowning and gritting his teeth in distress for this large amount of money, and the killing spirit is just outgoing. The Yan Wang's honor guard queue was originally abnormal in the accompanying team, Yan Wang's love was not good, and the armor soldiers were also silent, hundreds of Yan Wang Zhijia soldiers followed Xiao Yan to twist their eyebrows and stare at each other, the surroundings were simply extinct, and no one dared to get closer.
Although Xiao Yan is in a bad mood, he still has to go through this process. On May 17, he went out of the forbidden middle until he left the palace in Yuanqiu, and Zhao Kai bathed and changed his clothes and fasted to go to heaven. On the 18th day of May, hundreds of civil and military officials also greeted him, Zhao Kai wore a crimson gauze robe, wore a crown of heaven, and walked up the mound alone. Jun Rong played elegant music directly, countless fine spices were burned everywhere, and the ministers danced and worshipped. And Zhao Kai's recitation of the prayers written by the Hanlin scholars after scratching their scalps and how much effort they put into it, can be regarded as reporting to the heavens. Zhao Kai is the new monarch of the Great Song Dynasty, with the mandate of heaven, to Fu Lishu, and to the Quartet!
Change the Yuan Jingkang.
The inertia of history is still heavy, the two classics of Bianliang are in chaos, civil ministers and military generals, how many people have taken their homes and lost their posts, and some people have lost their lives. The kings of the previous generation and the princes they had appointed were both folded in. When the princes of Dongfu agreed on the year name to be submitted, they chose such a word Jingkang that was pinned on not tossing things around.
These two words are also in line with Zhao Kai's intentions. finally turned to Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan looked at the two words and was stunned for a long time. Finally, this little thing can only be stopped. After all the hard work, he finally set up a Dongfu who could cooperate with his own family and was quite obedient. If you want to dismiss their opinions on everything, and then act arbitrarily, do you want to wait for this Dongfu to oppose your own house again?
Jingkang is Jingkang. But this is a Jingkang with Lao Tzu appearing!
Zhao Kai finally completed his communication with the heavens above the third planet of the solar system in the constellation Orion, the cantilever of the Milky Way, and burned the prayer to smell it.
Then Zhao Kai turned around.
The eyes of the ministers fell on Xiao Yan, who was at the top of the shift. Xiao Yan was silent for a moment and stepped forward. Dance to the ground.
"Long live the saints, long live, long live!"
Xiao Yan moved, and the ministers moved neatly, and they all danced and worshiped on the ground. Countless attendants around him also knelt on the ground, and shouts resounded in the southern suburbs.
"Hooray! Banzai! Hooray! ”
When Xiao Yan got up again, at this moment, it had changed from the seventh year of Xuanhe to the first year of Jingkang, and Zhao Kai was the king. The civil strife is still hidden. The Jurchens are in the north, and the black clouds are rolling in. Xiao Yan has 70,000 victorious soldiers, but he has to fight against this unprecedented enemy alone.
Xiao Yan stood quietly at the foot of the hill steps, just standing silently, and compared Zhao Kai, who was satisfied and smiling at Qiu Dingzhi. How many eyes are only on this Yan King who has been swaying all the way and fighting a bloody path in the Great Song Dynasty.
Who knows what the final fate will be in this year of Jingkang?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Under the same sky, north of Yandi, the movements of the Jurchen East Route Army became more and more frequent and closer. However, the empty and weak forces in the direction of Danzhou were no longer able to cross Yanshan to detect the movements there.
In front of Hedong Road, as the road gradually dried up, the Jurchen West Route Army and Han Yue led the troops to retreat faster and faster to the south. The two armies parted ways, Han Shizhong retreated to the direction of Ninghuazhou in the Fenhe River Valley, relying on the lofty mountains and mountains around Huangwei Mountain, and many military villages with Shiling Pass as the core to defend it. Yue Fei retreated to the direction of the former Daizhou in the Hutuo River Valley, relying on the Yanmen Pass and other dangerous military villages to defend it. And the Jurchen Western Route Army also widened the front, overwhelmingly pressing in front of the many passes on the eastern edge of the river!
The world is like chess, before such a general trend, Xiao Yan has done his best to fight for a little chess momentum of his own, but this chess game is still as sinister.
No one knows what the final game will be like in such a chess game. The only way to do this is to fight and kill! (To be continued......)
