Chapter 254: Rising instead of falling

After a long journey of more than a month, the 30,000-strong army of Bianliang City in Kaifeng Prefecture finally arrived at Jiankang Mansion (now Nanjing), the capital of Jiangnan East Road in the Song Dynasty.

Sure enough, as expected by Lord Du Chong, the little emperor Gaozong not only did not have any blame for the unauthorized retreat of the Kaifeng Mansion army, but even personally received Du Chong in his palace to appease him.

Of course, the little emperor also knew that it was not enough to appease the Dao, and he had to add some ingredients.

After some thought, Emperor Gaozong decided to promote Du Chong to the position of right servant, and to serve as the imperial envoy with Ping Zhangshi.

According to the official positions of the Tang and Song dynasties, they all took charge of government affairs in Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province and Shangshu Province. The governors of the three provinces (Zhongshu Ling, Shizhong, Shangshu left and right) and are prime ministers.

In the eighth year of Zhenguan, Li Jing resigned from the throne with illness, and the edict was sick and small, and the three or two days were one to the middle book and the two provinces under the door of the Pingzhang matter, and the name of "Pingzhang Shi" was covered here.

To put it simply, Du Chong's new position is the deputy prime minister, who is also in charge of the two important departments of Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province, as well as the general manager of the entire Imperial Forest Army.

It can be said that under the condition that Lu Yihao has been determined as the ruling prime minister, this is already the highest position that the little emperor Gaozong can take.

But the problem is that even in such a position, Du Chong is still not satisfied and does not accept the emperor's affection.

Du Chong sent someone to tell the emperor: "I have a stroke and can't go to work, let's talk about it when my health improves." ”

"Renewal of Capital and Governance. Volume 105 records: Ji Chou, with the Privy Council Du Chongshou right servant, and with the Ping Zhangshi and the imperial envoy. Charge and rise in rank. Self-described stroke. In the complaint

Du Chong this kind of behavior. It's just that there is no one in sight, and the king is guilty.

This military attaché, who is known for his observance and flattery, why did he become so bold?

It turned out that Du Chong had fully understood the current situation of Emperor Gaozong and the hole cards in his hand.

When Du Chong had just returned, he met Zhang Jun who was going west in Jiangning Town. The two exchanged information with each other, and Du Chong only realized at this time that after many incidents, the little emperor actually had no soldiers in his hands.

"Renewal of Capital and Governance. Volume 105 records: Left behind Du Chong is also ... Chong went to Jiangning Town first and met Jun. The screen has been talking for a long time.

From Zhang Jun's mouth, it was learned that Han Shizhong, who was the strongest in the DPRK, and his subordinates were all scattered by the Yellow River in the Huaihe region, and even the soldiers who went to pursue the Miao and Liu rebellions were borrowed.

Zhang Jun, who was the most obedient to the emperor in the court, only had 8,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, of which 2,000 soldiers had been borrowed by Han Shizhong, and he would not look back.

In addition, Liu Guangshi is the one who still has heavy troops in the DPRK. But Liu Guangshi is famous for listening to propaganda and not listening to tunes, and it is difficult for the little emperor to command; Moreover, Liu Guangshi's hands did not exceed 20,000 soldiers and horses.

That is to say, the 30,000 troops brought back by Du Chong. has exceeded the number of soldiers and horses in the hands of the little emperor.

is the so-called strange goods can live, and now they don't bargain with the little emperor. When?

Regarding the current situation of Jianyan Group, Du Chong can see it clearly, and the little emperor also knows it.

After a series of events and tempering, the mind of the little emperor Gaozong has become more and more mature, so he didn't mind Du Chong's rude behavior, but told him kindly, and gave Du Chong a promise: "Jiusi left the key, the world is looking forward, and the military will be given the handle, and the more it is used." ”

"Renewal of Capital and Governance. Volume 105 records: The Lord knew that he was dissatisfied, and he left the key for Yun Jiusi, and the heavens hoped that he would give him the military handle, so he used it more than once. In April, the system will start immediately.

Key, refers to the key, which here represents military power; to stay, is to retain; Division means to master, to control.

Emperor Gaozong's promise was that Du Chong would be used at a higher level, and all the military power in the world would be handed over to him, so that all the soldiers and horses in the world would be under Du Chong's control.

Obviously, in the face of the overwhelming army of the Jin soldiers, and in the face of the surging fierce flames of the Jin soldiers, Emperor Gaozong regarded Du Chong as the only life-saving straw

Speaking from the heart, Emperor Gaozong's arrangement still has certain data to support.

These generals beside Emperor Gaozong, whether it is the brave Han Shizhong, the loyal Zhang Jun, or the old fritter Liu Guangshi, have not yet won against the wolf-like Jin soldiers.

Among the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, the only team that has won against the Jin people is the army left behind in Kaifeng Mansion under Du Chong now, that is, the iron-blooded army brought out by Zong Ze back then.

Whether it is Zong Ze's thirteen consecutive victories against Wanyan Wushu in the second year of Jingkang, or the second year of Jianyan in the second year of Jianyan, he let Wanyan stick Han rats and turtles outside Bianliang City, and there is no way to start, it is an extremely rare record of the Song army.

Therefore, it is understandable that Emperor Gaozong blindly tolerated Du Chong and made compromises

Du Chong got his wish, the symptoms of the stroke were cured, and he went to work happily four days later.

On the first day of work, Du Chong, as the first leader of the military, issued a summoning order to Han Shizhong and Liu Guangshi, asking them to bring all the people of their headquarters to guard Jiankang Mansion together.

Of course, Han Shizhong and Liu Guangshi knew how many catties Du Chong had, so the two of them neither went to Jiankang to report for duty, nor handed over the team in their hands, and stood firm.

Both Han and Liu had made great efforts in the Miao-Liu coup d'état just past, and the little emperor couldn't blame them, so after negotiating a few times, it was over.

In the end, Han Shizhong was transferred to Zhenjiang and reappointed as the envoy of the western Zhejiang; Liu Guangshi was sent to Taiping Prefecture (now Dangtu, Anhui) and reappointed as the Jiangdong Xuanfu envoy.

"Renewal of Capital and Governance. Volume 16 has this record:

Xin Mao, ordered the right servant of Shangshu to shoot Du Chong and Jiang and Huai Xuanfu envoys, and led the camp of more than 100,000 people to guard Jiankang...... Han Shizhong, the former capital of the left country, and Liu Guangshi, the deputy envoy of the imperial camp, ...... Still in moderation...... At that time, Liu Guangshi and Han Shizhong each held heavy troops, fearing that Du Chong was severe, and there were different opinions. Guangshi also wrote that it was impossible to be controlled by Du Chong, the emperor was angry, and the order crossed the river, and the edict did not let Guangshi enter the palace gate. Emperor Guangshi was afraid of being ordered, and the emperor was happy and gave him a silver decoction

The little emperor Gaozong didn't expect that it was his forbearance that saved the two armies of Han Shizhong and Liu Guangshi, and the blood capital of the Jianyan small court was not squandered by Du Chong and lost all at once.

A soldier bears a nest of bears.

This proverb soon became vividly manifested in Du Chong's body.

Soon, the little emperor Gaozong fled back to Hangzhou from Jiankang under the escort of Zhang Jun, and renamed Hangzhou Lin'an Mansion, and shrunk inside, no longer showing his head.

Du Chong, who was complacent, led all the soldiers and horses of his headquarters and became the commander-in-chief of the enemy in Jiankang Mansion...... (To be continued......)
