Chapter 41: Jiang Gan Steals Books
On the first day of the first lunar month, not only the hundreds of officials in the court, the royal relatives and nobles, but also the envoys of various countries all participated, and Zhao Ta, the king of Yan, became the protagonist of the court meeting, his seat ranked first in the southern class, and several old princes of the previous dynasty were subordinate to him. In addition to the emperor's appreciation, he also gave the royal wine in front of everyone, rewarded the jade belt, and allowed him to ride a horse in front of the palace.
In the next few days, the emperor burned incense in the Great Xiangguo Temple, shot the bow in the South Imperial Garden, and drove the Wuyue Temple and the Shangqing Palace, as long as the emperor appeared in the place, he was always indispensable to the figure of King Yan. On the sixteenth day of the first month, the emperor accepted the cheers of the people, and he also accompanied him, and then gave him the lantern on the right floor, which was the position of the Dazai in the past, and Zhao Ta was not allowed to resign...
Everyone speculated from all kinds of signs that the emperor wanted to reuse King Yan, saying that he had repeatedly performed miraculous feats, relieved the siege of Taiyuan, and relieved the siege of the Daimyo's Mansion, which were all immortal achievements in saving the country from danger. In this eventful autumn, he will be regarded by the emperor as his right-hand man, and Feihuang Tengda is in front of him.
But Zhao Ta didn't have this fluttering good feeling, the emperor's ambiguous attitude, Geng Nanzhong's smiling old face, Zhang Bangchang's cold and treacherous smile, and Zhao Gou's deliberate estrangement, as well as the young Zai Tang Ke who had not appeared for a long time, all made Zhao Ta feel that an invisible net had covered him, tightening more and more, making him feel suffocated, and a conspiracy was approaching him.
What frightened Zhao Tan was that he still didn't know anything about this conspiracy, just like the sea infiltration in his previous life, he hid in the narrow torpedo tubes of the submarine, his eyes were pitch black, there was no light, only the sound of waves hitting steel in his ears, and he didn't know where he was on the bottom of the sea. I don't know where I am, and I don't know what is waiting for me outside the road. And the fear of ignorance is greater than the fear of death!
"Lord, Shunzi asked you to meet you at the restaurant. Say that the things you confessed are basically clear! Feng Xi came in quietly and said.
"Junzi's shelf is getting bigger and bigger, and he dares to ask the prince to see him, it's time to teach him a good lesson!" Seeing Xi Leng snorted and said.
"Don't blame him, I told him, don't come to the house if there is no special emergency, there is something to discuss outside!" Zhao Ta waved his hand and said.
"Second master, now we have too many enemies, and it's not safer outside than Fuzhong, so let's let Junzi come to Fuzhong?" Miki said.
"Do you think the house is safer than the outside? Now that the house is full of eyeliner, and our every move is under the watchful eye of people, can a stranger come to the house without arousing suspicion? In the future, everyone should be careful when they speak, don't talk about things outside and in the house, and don't talk about what happens in the northwest to outsiders, especially if you are happy, show off to those new people all day long! Zhao said.
"Yes, second master, I'm just teaching them a lesson. Let him know the rules! Seeing Xi's face flushed, he said.
"Hmph, if I hear your nonsense again, I'll cut your tongue first!" Zhao Ta got up and said, "Prepare the horse." We're out of the woods! ”
"Second master, where are we going? Do you want to talk to the princess? Seeing Xi asked with a smile.
"Well, let's just say I'm out on the streets. Don't say more! Zhao said...
Zhao Ta led a few relatives and Ma Youyi to Mahang Street. Now that the Spring Festival has passed, lights have been collected everywhere. The color shed was demolished, and there were many fewer pedestrians on the street. Seeing that it was getting dark, and it was time for dinner, Zhao Ta seemed to find a restaurant at random to prepare for a rest, and the group walked into the duck building, after the catastrophe, people seemed to indulge their lives even more, and the more than forty tables on the ground floor were almost all full, and the business did not look ordinarily hot.
"Guest officer, please, there is a private room upstairs!" The guys who greeted the guests were all sharp-eyed, and when they saw Zhao Ta's style, they knew that they were not mortals, and they greeted loudly, and then a few people who followed up were stopped downstairs.
"A few guests are coming with the little ones!" As soon as I went up to the second floor, another guy picked them up, led them up to the fourth floor, and went straight to the back building, and a guy had already blocked the staircase, and explained with a smile that the top was full, please go to the third floor.
Zhao Ta went upstairs, there was a lot of noise below, but it was very clean here, except for the guys in the restaurant, it was difficult for the steward to see the figure, they didn't dare to answer when they saw the prince, and they all automatically let it aside. Shunzi was waiting in front of the door, and the second baby immediately stepped forward to enter the house to check according to the rules, but Zhao Ta waved his hand, meaning to be exempt.
Shunzi smiled at the prince uncheckably, he knew the rules in the Daoist Mansion, and he also knew the situation of the prince, the seemingly ordinary action of the prince actually showed great trust in him, and their master and servant had not seen him for many years, but the prince still believed in him, ordinary people can't do it.
"Lord Wang, Lord Xi, what do you want to eat?" Junko Shili asked.
"Just give me a duck, he eats whatever he likes, and you can entertain the people outside!" Zhao Ta sat on the top, sat down with a big grin and said, here he is very relaxed, even more relaxed than in the palace.
"Yes, Lord Wang, don't worry!" Junko said, "Xiye, what about you? ”
"The prince eats ducks, then I can only eat ducks!" Seeing that Xichong Shunzi smiled and said with a friendly smile, don't look at him when he was in the mansion, he kept saying that he wanted to teach Shunzi a lesson, in fact, he and Shunzi and Fengxi entered the palace at the same time. In front of Huang Jingchen, he is not as powerful as Shunzi, but with the increasing power of the prince and the increase of new people in the house, he has risen to the top, and the five people and six seem to be incomparable, but in front of the old brothers, who doesn't know who is the bottom of the road, he still knows how to converge.
"Wait a minute, your subordinates will order to go down immediately!" Shunzi poured tea for the prince and said, the effort was not big, when he turned around, the wine and food were ready, and they were sent up like flowing water.
"Junko, there are no outsiders, let's talk while eating!" Zhao Ta saw that all the people retreated, and let the waiting Shunzi sit under his hand and said.
"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Junzi sat down respectfully, "The matter that the prince asked his subordinates to inquire about has already been revealed, and your sudden transfer back from the front line is indeed related to him!" ”
"Well, go on!" Zhao Ta took a bite of the lotus leaf cake that he had wrapped for him and said, Shunzi's words were in line with his prediction, and this matter really had nothing to do with Zhang Bangchang.
"Yes!" Shunzi said, "After Han couldn't retire from the army last time, he felt that Zhang Bangchang was useless, so he left him in Yanjing Mansion to take care of him. After the second southern invasion, they asked the prince for hostage to no avail, and were forced to retreat by the prince, so they came up with a plan to achieve the goal of bringing the prince down...! Shunzi told the news she had heard!
At first, Han Li and Zong Han set a way to ask Zhao Ta as a hostage to achieve the goal of getting rid of him, but it backfired, Han Li was not in Zhao Ta during his stay in Cizhou, thinking that the two armies had settled down in the south, and had transferred him out of Beijing, so he thought that Zhao Ta's role was basically lost because he was sick and had no power, and if he was intercepted and killed halfway, he could continue to go south on the grounds that the Song Dynasty was unwilling to fulfill the contract on time.
People are not as good as heaven, Zhao Ta not only thwarted Han Li's assassination operation, but instead provided him with a reason not to go to the gold camp as a hostage and negotiate peace with them, and then the battle was repeatedly defeated, and there was a civil unrest in Shangjing, Han Li and Liu Yanzong faced Zhao Ta's step by step, helpless, at this time Zhao Ta asked for King Su and Dazai in the gold camp as a hostage in the peace negotiation, and the two came up with a poisonous plan.
Han Li did not send Wang Wei to Yanjing Mansion to meet Zhang Bangchang, but he never said that he would advance the battle, and only said that he came on the order of Yan Xianye, the commander of the Dajin Capital, and asked him to return to China to persuade Zhao Huan to give way to the crown prince and learn from his father Taishanghuang, so Dajin Guobao he has not yet Dazai presided over the government. If you promise, you can let him go back, if you don't agree, you will trample him to death, and there will be no bones left!
Zhang Bangchang has been living in Yanjing Mansion for almost a year, the Jin army locked him in a temple in the city, eating leftovers, wearing old clothes that he brought from Beijing, and his entourage had long been taken away by the Jin people as slaves and sold, leaving his old brother to sit alone in the temple every day against the lone lamp ancient Buddha, this kind of day is almost about to collapse him, but unfortunately he is still reluctant to die, and he suffers every day.
Now that Zhang Bangchang has the opportunity to go out, how can he let it go, he agreed at the moment, and the treatment changed immediately, so he embarked on the road back to China with Wang Xiao. But when he arrived in Zhaozhou, he stopped, and at this time, Han Li did not intimidate him again, but it was still those words that made him persuade Zhao Huan to give way.
Zhang Bangchang regretted a little at this time, it turned out that he thought that the Jin army had come to the city again, and he went to say that not only could he save the Great Song Dynasty, but also allowed the emperor to save his life, and he was doing 'loyalty'. But the Jurchens only arrived in Zhaozhou, and if they wanted to persuade the emperor to abdicate, not only would they be infamous on their backs, but also wouldn't that be looking for death? How could his changes escape Han Li's eyes, of course, it was a coercion and temptation, Zhang Bangchang thought that staying in Jinguo would be a death, and he might be able to survive if he saw the opportunity to act after he went back, so he agreed to come down again.
When Zhang Bangchang was taken back by Nie Shan and Zhao Ta, he realized that now the Jurchens were beaten and lost their armor, and the war was beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty, so he was used by the Jin people, and he didn't dare to say a word about persuading the emperor to abdicate.
When he walked to Xiangzhou, Zhizhou Huang Qianshan picked up the wind and washed the dust for Zhang Bangchang and his party, and everyone praised the heroes of King Yan during the banquet, not only repelling the Jurchens for hundreds of miles, but also welcoming back Dazai. Zhang Bangchang felt bitter in his heart when he heard this, worried that if the emperor knew that the Jurchens had given him the mission, he didn't know what to do with him, so he didn't want to go any further!
It wasn't until one night that the golden envoy Wang Wei got drunk and angrily broke into Zhang Bangchang's room, angrily reprimanded him for his treachery and inadvertently told a shocking secret, Zhang Bangchang set foot on the road back to Beijing again, he knew that as long as he told the emperor this secret, at least his head was saved...
