Zhao Ta recently received a letter from He Qufei and Huang Daguan, and the two not only took the blame for the failure of the 'Ark' operation, but Huang Jingchen also insisted on resigning from the post of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and He Qufei also refused to take up the post of Zhongshu Shilang, and both of them returned to Xiangyi to be punished.

Zhao Ta couldn't help but sigh when he saw it, both of them could be called his masters. Huang Jingchen accompanied himself to grow up, with the care of an elder, sheltered himself from the wind and rain, cared for him when he grew up, and ran before and after the saddle of his horse; The other is a mentor who not only preaches and teaches, but also works hard in the northwest in his most difficult moments.

Now in order to help themselves reach the top, the two braved the disapproval of the world and took the notoriety of 'betraying the king and abandoning their father', but when they were about to reach the top, they gave up the glory of raising the young master and the emperor and retired to the countryside, and in order to leave useful talents for themselves, they took all the responsibilities and freed Xu Jingheng, Li Jun and Shunzi and others together, leaving only accusations...

"Lord Wang, this..." Li Jun looked at the prince's sly smiling face, and a sense of powerlessness rose in his heart, and he couldn't figure out whether what the prince said was true, or if he deceived him again, he couldn't answer for a while, and knelt down with weak legs.

"Get up, this time it's your fate, Master He and Huang Daguan and their two mountains have blocked all the blame for you, otherwise..."

"Lord Wang, my subordinates should die, this matter is not about Master He and Huang Daguan, it is all done by one of their subordinates, and the two of them were also bewitched by their subordinates and were involved in this matter in a daze!" Li Jun was moved in his heart, and felt even more guilty, he didn't get up. Prostrate to sin.

"You're damn it, getting a lot of people involved. But you should understand the deep meaning of Master He and Huang Daguan, and don't leave anything to chance. Otherwise, no one will be able to save you next time! Zhao Ta said with a sigh.

"The subordinates understand that they will never live up to the grace of the two of them, and they will repay the prince's grace of not killing with death!" Li Jun understood at this time that his fate had been saved, but he was even more puzzled, how did the prince know the truth of the matter, He and Huang would never leak it to the prince before the matter was completed, and Shunzi didn't dare.

"Don't talk nonsense, what you have to do now is to find out where the Emperor is imprisoned as soon as possible. Try to rescue, in addition, keep an eye on King Kang, let him not make any more extraneous branches, this is a matter of success or failure, and there must be no more mistakes, I have prepared the funds for you, I will leave for you today, and let Xue Hai stay and help me! Zhao Ta pushed a list of good things to him and said.

"Lord Wang, what do you want to do with Master He and Huang Daguan?" Li Jun glanced at the list, and the action cost granted to him by the prince was millions of yuan. Moved in his heart, the prince did not suspect himself because of this matter, but still gave his trust, and he asked carefully.

"You have a good conscience. Zhilu Dao thought about the two of them, since they had taken on the responsibility with one effort, they could only temporarily remove all official positions inside and outside. Escort Jiangnan settled! Zhao Ta said gloomily, these two old men even helped themselves the most. They took the blame and spared Li Jun themselves. can only make him grateful to Dade and follow him with all his heart, although this method of beating a stick to give a sweet date is old-fashioned, but it is very useful. And his 'punishment' of the two important ministers in the mansion also played a role in making an example, so that people who had other ideas in the mansion at this critical moment put away their thoughts as soon as possible.

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Li Jun said, the two old men have a happy ending, and they will not be treated badly with the prince's character, "Lord, how about King Kang's side, please show the prince!" "He has also learned well, so let's ask for more instructions, the matter between their brothers is still up to the prince.

"Bloodless!" Zhao Ta said solemnly.

"The subordinates understand, and they will live up to the prince's expectations!" Li Jun understood what the prince meant, and bowed down.

"Come out, he's gone!" It seemed that Zhao Ta was alone in the room, and he shouted inexplicably.

"I know!" A lazy voice came from a corner of the room, and Lu Xiaoyao stretched out as if he had come out of the ground.

"I'll win, say that since he dares to come to see me, he won't do anything to me, you just don't believe it!" Zhao Ta twisted his face and said with a smile.

"Hmph, that's because he was afraid of me, so he let you go!" Lu Xiaoyao said coldly.

"Oh, so he found a third person in the house, so he doesn't think he's bad!" Zhao Ta said with a grin.

"It's... That... Even if you win! "Lu Xiaoyao can rarely win against the prince in terms of bickering, admitting that he was frightened by himself, then it proves that he has failed in disguise; If you don't admit it, you will lose to the prince by a mistake in judgment. After thinking about it, it is more decent to lose to the prince.

"Okay, but I have to thank you for 'escorting' him all the way here!" Zhao Ta said with a smile.

"It's not that old man Huang is troublesome, I'm worried that Li Xiaozi will take risks because he is afraid of the prince's punishment, this kid is really very good at two brushes, and he can also be ranked as the number one person in the rivers and lakes!" Lu Xiaoyao said.

"But the facts show that Huang Daguan's eyesight is not bad, and Li Jun has passed his test!" Zhao said.

"It's indispensable to defend against people!" Lu Xiaoyao sat down and said, "However, I can't figure it out, the two old immortals are bent on pushing you to the throne, but you are grinding and chirping, attracting the Jurchens here, do you still want to save your father, get him back, where is it?" ”

"It's not just because he's my father who saved my father!" Lu Xiaoyao's words can be called disrespectful, but Zhao Tazhi said that it was this stinky virtue, and the good words also changed in his mouth, "The king of a country is plundered by a foreign race, which is not only a shame for our royal family, but also a shame for our Great Song Dynasty, a shame for our nation, so he must be rescued!" ”

"Alas, that's right, it's just that he still wants to be the emperor, how can the prince deal with himself?" Lu Xiaoyao said.

"Alas, I didn't think about it either, but after being tortured by the Jurchens for so long, he should have lost interest in the throne!" Zhao Ta also sighed and said, Lu Xiaoyao smiled bitterly and shook his head, unwilling to worry about this idle matter for the prince anymore...

Zhao Ta looked at the information sent by Li Jun on the table, King Kang turned to the direction of Bianjing, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Zhuge Hong gave up the true determination on his own initiative. It can be said that he is crooked, and he led the army to break through the siege, so that Han Li thought that he was invincible in his military might. fled without a fight, but it just covered Zhaozhou's actions. It also avoided further harm to Zhao Ji's father and son.

And the victory of Zhaozhou's operation left the Jin army that was preparing to evacuate the Central Plains, which gave Zhao Ta a chance to rescue Zhao Ji and clean up Hanli, if he hit the Jin army hard and rescued Emperor Taishang, then he is the hero of the empire in this era, and no one can prevent him from ascending to the throne, even King Kang.

As for the fiasco of Zhao Yong's department, the siege of Wuma Mountain was also in the plan. His sudden appearance will inevitably cause panic among Zhao Gou and his gang, shattering his dream of ascending to the throne, and since he controls the Gyeonggi region, he may flee to Jiangnan to establish a separate central government. Once the Great Song Dynasty really became the Northern and Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou could rely on the financial resources of Jiangnan to confront him, and then there would only be soldiers to meet each other, cross the Yangtze River, and liberate the whole of China.

But his 'fiasco' can make Zhao Gou see hope, hoping that the Jurchens will destroy the enemy for him. He could also enter the Gyeonggi region to realize his dream of ascending the throne while the capital was empty. But what Zhao Gou didn't know was that he had already laid a net in the capital, as long as he went, it wouldn't be so easy to leave, and it might be really just a dream to ascend the throne as the emperor!

………

Zhao conceived it for two days. Under the persuasion of Huang Qianshan and others, it was decided to go to Kaifeng in the name of meeting the Queen Mother, and the armies under the Shuai Mansion also moved in the direction of Kaifeng. Among them, 19,000 people were stationed in Fengqiu, Yang Weizhong was the commander, 7,000 people were stationed in Dongming, Zhang Jun was the commander, and 8,000 troops were stationed in Chen. The 6,000 sour jujube garrisons and the 3,000 Qingcheng garrisons were all controlled by the deputy marshal Huang Qianshan.

If you add the 19,000 soldiers and horses of Deputy Marshal Zongze in Kaide Mansion, all the troops of Damarshal Mansion are stationed near Kaifeng. And the largest force is the 50,000 soldiers and horses of the original Lianghe Xuanfu envoy Fan Ne. He went out of Hebei, was defeated by the wind, fled to Nanjing to support the army to protect himself, took refuge in the Generalissimo's Mansion, and was ordered to move to Yongqiu to garrison. The arrival of the soldiers and horses of the Generalissimo's Mansion completely changed the comparison of forces in Kaifeng Mansion.

The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, and Zhao Gou led the troops into Beijing on the day he entered the palace to meet the Queen Mother, but he first arrived in the Menghou Palace, and then went to the Empress Dowager Zheng's palace, and only saw his mother Wei Xianfei after the most reluctance. The implications are hard to ponder. And the Empress Dowager Zheng didn't seem to feel anything, and still wanted to serve as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and Zhao Ta recommended Geng Nanzhong, Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan to the Empress Dowager to enter the court.

This kind of recommendation of soldiers coming to the city is better than robbing, but the queen mother still did the work of Li Gang and others, appointed Huang Qianshan as the Zhongshu squire, Wang Boyan as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and promoted Zongze to the bachelor of Longtu Pavilion, still presiding over the work of the Privy Council. But Geng Nanzhong did not get any official position, but was impeached by the imperial history.

Geng Nanzhong, as a celebrity in the former dynasty, did too many bad things, and Zhao Huan reused him after he ascended the throne, but as a result, the dynasty was sluggish, the military affairs were not repaired, the main war minister was excluded, and the Jingsui policy was implemented against Jin, which eventually led to the destruction of Bianjing, and the second emperor went north, and he coped with a lot of responsibility.

When he went out of Beijing to serve as a land envoy, Geng Nanzhong was almost caught by the Hebei soldiers and civilians who refused to surrender, he slipped away quickly and ran to Wang Boyan to settle down, becoming the first group of people in the generalissimo's mansion. But at this time, it was still pulled out. When discussing his problem, Zhao Gou also understood in his heart that Geng Nanzhong was the master and misguided the country, the world knew it, and the people were very angry, so they abandoned him, so Geng Nanzhong was assigned to Lingnan to manage it, and one of the real culprits who led to his demise ended up like this.

In terms of internal affairs, the matter of cleaning up the rebellion presided over by Li Gang is still ongoing. The magistrates and generals who behaved differently when the Jin army entered the Kou were screened and cleaned up. When the Jin army invaded, some of the officials stubbornly defended to the death, and there were also thieves who fled before they arrived, and they were all praised and degraded respectively to clarify their merits.

Among them, Xuanfu deputy envoy Zhe Yanzhi, Shaanxi system envoy Qian Gai, and river defense officials Xu Gao and Xu Kang were all frightened as soon as the Jin army came, and they fled to the rear areas such as Sichuan Gorge, Hubei, and Jiangnan. Wang Jizhi sat at the gate of the palace and scolded the kings, and Yu Dajun lured the palace maid as a concubine. Wang Shiyong is the most shameful, the Jin people asked for the royal family surnamed Zhao, he spared no effort to arrest people according to the list, and there was no one left; When the Jin people sought scholars who could write and write poetry, including his son-in-law Xiong Yanshi, the old king 'designed to avoid it', and he took the sheep in the palace in the name of bribing the golden envoys, and stole a lot of priceless treasures. The Queen Mother issued an order and dealt with these people severely...

The clean-up of this section has played a huge role in sweeping away the wind of surrender and fearing death and promoting patriotism. Many flesh-related ministers. They were all excited and seemed to see the hope of ZTE. With the digging of the rebellious officials. There was an unexpected circumstance that the confessions of the criminal officials appeared, which often involved Lu Hao's questioning!

Lu Hao asked after the famous family of the Great Song Dynasty. Great-grandfather Lu Yijian and grandfather Lu Gong are both famous prime ministers. At first, Li Gang recommended him as a counselor, and later as an attendant. After Zhang Bangchang rebelled, he made him a ruler, which can be regarded as a failure. However, he did one thing after becoming a puppet official and saved himself. That is, he had written a wax book and secretly sent it to the Generalissimo's Mansion, urging Zhao Gou to take the throne as soon as possible.

However. Now the autumn reckoning is coming. The counselor Deng Su was once in a besieged city, and he knew a lot about the situation of the rebellious officials, and because he considered his merits, his tone was quite forgiving. But the servant Shi Wang Bin was not so polite, and Shang Shu said that Lu Hao asked about disloyalty, "Good to ask in the siege, the second saint was detained in the captive camp." He should have used wax books to urge the Marshal's Mansion to enter the army to rescue, but instead persuaded (persuaded Zhao Gou to ascend to the pole), which was 'coercive and treacherous', and there was no minister's discipline. Moreover, there was a stain of hypocrisy. Therefore do not stand in the court! ”

This participation is based on the principle of dignified and upright, which is irrefutable. What Lu Haowen did at the beginning was not necessarily outright political speculation. But it is true that I think more about it from the pragmatic side, thinking that I am betting on the right treasure by doing so. Didn't think of it. When all the crises have passed, people's evaluation criteria remain a constant principle. Any betrayal or depravity under the pretext of 'forced by the situation'. Sooner or later, you have to be found out!

Zhao Gou is still grateful to Lu Haowen and wants to repay the favor. Keep him for his own use, but now the ministers in the court led by the Qin Wangfu are constantly denouncing, and Lu Haowen is also ashamed of this, and he tries his best to go. Zhao Gou pushed the boat along the way, and Shangjiao demoted him out of the capital and took up a post in the local area, which was a good result, but this incident also made him feel guilty...

After several collisions and frictions, the Qin Mansion and the Kang Wangfu were still passable in terms of face, but the contradictions between the two mansions had begun to accumulate, and finally broke out on the issue of dealing with Zhang Bangchang.

Li Gang's killing of Zhang Bangchang was not only because he betrayed the country and abandoned his lord and ascended the throne, but also because he wanted to show a clear attitude to the army and people of Lianghe, that the new regime would swear to defend the land to the death, never abandon the people of the Great Song Dynasty in Lianghe, and strengthen the will of the army and the people to resist.

But Zhang Bangchang is an indispensable step to the throne for King Kang's mansion, and killing him is a complete denial of his abdication and persuasion of Zhao Gou to ascend the throne is a completely wrong thing, so he is resolutely opposed. And Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan actually have value for Zhang Bangchang's protection. That is, they believed that the Great Song Dynasty was by no means the opponent of the Jin State, and only by ceding the north of the Yellow River and reaching an agreement with the Jin State could they keep half of the rivers and mountains, so they did not dare to move Zhang Bangchang, for fear of angering the Jin State and cutting off the back road.

During the court debate, Huang Qianshan defended Zhang Bangchang the most, saying that the people in the capital, because Zhang Bangchang was made the emperor, survived, and was saved from being robbed of gold and silver again, and took the initiative to welcome him without waiting for requisition, so he said that he was virtuous and could be forgiven.

Among the courtiers, there were also those who saw the wind and made the rudder for Zhang Bangchang to complain, saying that although he was arrogant and became a traitor, he was actually coerced. He didn't have to rush to be this pseudo-emperor, and the evidence that can be cited now is nothing more than that he fornicated in the harem and had the same thing with the concubines of the previous dynasty, but that happened in a drunken situation is also forgivable.

People in the world say that Zhang Bangchang is flattered out of necessity, so he resents it. And the reason why the people of the capital and the people of the Marshal's Mansion said that was selfish! Those who are resentful in the world are also public-minded! Li Gang, who was so annoyed, issued a series of questions about this, "For example, a large family is occasionally robbed, and the master's family members are kidnapped, and their servants want to take possession of the master's family slaves. Fortunately, the master's son returned from abroad, and the servant was forced to return the possession by public opinion, and wanted to take it as a 'meritorious service'. ”

Li Gang's character is very loyal and upright, but it is a bit roundabout to be too straight. He was bent on defeating the Jin army and welcoming back the two saints, and no one could oppose him. When encountering those who disagree with him, he must argue until he agrees with him. During the debate, what was said was probably not what Li Gang had previously listed.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Wang Boyan hurriedly said carefully: "Li Gang is straightforward, and he can't be subordinate!" "Since ancient times, loyalty and treachery have not been separated, and there is really no need to say more. Li Gang refuted Huang Qianshan several times before he was convinced, but he still insisted on dealing with Zhang Bangchang, and it was better to stay near than to be far away.

But it provoked Li Gang to be furious and said: "Zhang Bangchang should be punished canonically, what else is the distance?" Staying in the court made the people on the side of the road point fingers: This is also a day! Huang Qianshan was speechless.

Zhao Gou couldn't say anything at this time, out of his original intention, for the sake of his own father-in-law, he didn't want to kill him, not to raid his home, and not to destroy his nine clans, but he did so many heinous things for Jin Bing, and not killing him was not enough to make the people angry; As the puppet emperor supported by the Jin Court, he has humiliated the dignity of the Zhao Song imperial power, even if it is only for the sake of the reputation of the Zhao family's imperial power, Zhao Gou personally can't protect him even if he wants to.

A few days later, the Queen Mother ordered Zhang Bangchang to commit suicide with a three-foot white silk, which was regarded as leaving him a whole corpse. Zhang Bangchang's death also marked the end of a 'regime', and the new Song Dynasty was about to be born... (To be continued......)
