Chapter 581: The Great Drama Begins
Tuo Junjing's disappearance, some people are happy and some are worried.
The rejoicing people are partying all night, dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Festival that swept through Goryeo and restored the hegemony of their ancestors. And the person who was worried was sitting on the couch at this time, unable to speak for a long time in front of his brother who also had a sad face.
"Big brother, could it be that something happened to Tuo Junjing?"
Li Ziliang, the number one envoy of the Goryeo Kingdom, finally couldn't sit still, and suggested: "We can't pin all our hopes on this closed disciple of Yin Qiang, in addition to his northwest military horses, we have to spend more effort to contact the reinforcements from other provinces!" ”
"Contact? How to contact, empty-handed, dogs don't care! Li Ziqian sighed, looked at his brother and said: "It's hateful that the old man has worked hard to save millions of family assets over the years, and in the blink of an eye, the Song people have all been robbed, and there is not even a scumbag left!" If Tuo Junjing's 9,000 elite people are here, then it's good to say that this person is our relationship for many years, and he is also very particular about his personality, and he may not talk about money when he meets. But other people have their own masters behind them, and it is not something that the old man can easily influence with a few words! At this time, what else can make them wagging their tails and listen to the proclamation!? ”
He originally didn't take the loss of his family wealth seriously, because Tuo Junjing's men and horses plus reinforcements from his hometown Inju (Incheon), he had enough confidence to firmly control the situation in Kaijing, who knew that Tuo Junjing had lost contact at such a critical time, how could he make Li Ziqian, who was flashed at the end of the matter, not panic.
"Song Jun can't just scrape everything away? Let's say that we can make up some money by smashing pots and selling iron, and when the eldest brother controls the situation, let's take out all the goods in our hometown and use them as military expenses, and those who can be cared for in the future will be cared for, and those who are ambitious will be destroyed, and the world is not at our fingertips? ”
Li Ziliang comforted his brother that although the current situation is thorny, he is also facing huge opportunities. Speaking of which, the Li family is really looking forward to it. has assisted the government for more than 70 years, but has he ever been so close to the throne?
Li Ziqian bowed his head and groaned when he saw this, and he was noncommittal to his brother's words, and only asked after a while: "How many soldiers and horses have come from Renzhou?" ”
"There are more than 10,000 people on foot and horse! Big brother, you know, the leader is our clan nephew, and there are many officials among my children, and they are very reliable! "Renzhou is their brother's hometown, and the officials and garrisons there have long been surnamed Li, even if there are a few outliers, they are embellished for Wang Yu to see, and they can't really make much trouble. It can be said that their brothers are the most reassuring rear.
"The number of people is still too small, if Zide is still there, he will be able to share a lot of worries for me! It's a pity ......," Li Ziqian sighed.
He didn't scold the bald man in front of the monk, say stupid things like he shouldn't go. After all, Li Zide controlled the Privy Council of Goryeo during his lifetime and had a lot of influence in the military circles of Goryeo, and his younger brother Li Ziliang belonged to the civilian system, which coincided with his own resources, and was far less important than the role that Li Zide could play at this critical moment.
"Cousin...... Alas! The number of lives does not count ......" Li Ziliang just sighed twice. was interrupted by Li Ziqian, only to hear him ask:
"By the way, how much military money did they bring on the road?"
Li Ziliang found that his brother was also poor, and he actually counted on a drop in the bucket to put out the fire...... Immediately said helplessly: "The teacher of King Qin." The future is uncertain, how can those uncles in our hometown ask them to come with a large amount of gold and silver? ”
Li Ziqian knew that what he said was the truth, so he suddenly slapped the table and made up his mind: "That's it!" The amount is small, not a gentleman. Non-toxic no husband! We had to borrow some money from the merchants and rich families in the city to save the emergency! ”
"Big brother, don't do it! Even the Song people were not surprised by them, and they were not disturbed in autumn. What if we do it...... Big brother, you are the one who wants to be crowned king! Li Ziliang was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly got up to persuade him, fearing that Li Ziqian would destroy his foundation.
"Sit, sit!" Li Ziqian looked at his brother who really thought about himself, his heart eased slightly, handed a cup of tea to Li Ziliang, and said slowly:
"If you and I want to do it ourselves, won't my Shangshu order become the level of a county official? Now that there are many forces from all sides outside the capital, as long as we wait for the Song people to leave, let's casually trick one or two forces that are not right with us to enter the city and plunder, and when they are almost robbed, in the end, we will preside over justice and win people's hearts in a war, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”
Li Ziliang saw that his brother was fighting this idea of fame and profit, and he couldn't help but secretly exclaim, and said: "Big brother's clever plan!" Then there will be no worries about money and food! ”
Li Ziqian waved his hand and said: "I heard that the market has been very active recently, and the relationship between the people and the Song people is not generally harmonious, and it is not as lively as the New Year's Festival, so let's go and join in the fun!" ”
"At this time, the Song people haven't left yet, right?" Li Ziliang said cautiously, at this time he didn't ask much, but tacitly understood the implicit meaning of his brother's words.
"Looks like your news isn't very timely! As far as I know, Dayicang has completely emptied the Song people, and the boats that entered the river from the Water Gate last night and during the day today were densely packed with people. Song people, hum, it's time to leave when you've made enough! ”
Li Ziqian definitely didn't have a good impression of Wang Lun at this time, but he couldn't talk about hatred, no matter how much harm the other party brought him, but he washed the throne clean, and put it in front of him, Li Ziqian was never a short-sighted person, at this time, the Liao State was disturbed by the Jurchens, and he was too busy to take care of himself. The Jurchens are barbarians again, and dealing with these uncivilized savages has undoubtedly lowered the level of the Goryeo Kingdom. When he ascends the throne, he will not only endure the humiliation of breaking the city, but also vigorously develop the relationship with the Song State to ensure the eternity of the throne.
"Do you want to inform the army of the king outside the city to attack the city overnight?" Li Ziliang asked in a low voice at this time.
"Confused! They're leaving, why are you messing with these plague gods?! ”
Li Ziqian subconsciously roared out, and seeing that Li Ziqian was uneasy, he softened his tone and said:
"Although the marshal of the Song Army has the same surname as my son-in-law's family, his means are completely one heaven and one underground! This person surnamed Wang is very good at governing the army, I think he has a very harmonious relationship with his generals, this time we opened the capital of the gold and silver sea of treasures were taken away by the Song army, you can see that they have a fire inside? Replaced by our men and horses, the sky has already turned the sky in front of these gold and silver! It can be seen that this person's wrist is extraordinary! If such a person is attacked, do you think he will sit idly by! When the time comes, if you move him with a thousand soldiers and horses, he will dare to leave tens of thousands of soldiers and horses here to fight with us. Forgive me, he can afford it, but we can't afford it! ”
Since he said this, Li Ziqian simply said it thoroughly. lest his subordinates come out of a momentary anger, only to see him admonish his brother in an aggravated tone,
"Not only can't you mess with them, but you have to let them go safely! Only when they are gone, can we plan our big things wholeheartedly! Our top priority is to stabilize the situation in the whole country, not to grudge against the high-ranking Song State! Do you understand this? ”
"The eldest brother said very much, it is the younger brother who is short-sighted!"
Li Ziqian's words were very serious, and Li Ziliang hurriedly admitted his mistake: "It's a pity that the younger brother has sent so many envoys to the Song State in vain, and I haven't even heard of such a figure in the forbidden army of the Song State, I'm really ashamed!" ”
"Don't say it's you. Even the old man would have expected that the Song Dynasty would make a big move for Tamna Island and send a large army across the sea to ask for the guilt? Ay! After this experience, I am afraid that the number of qi in this city is exhausted! If I ascend the throne, it is better to move the capital! Li Ziqian felt that the person in front of him was his own brother, and some of the words were so far that he waved his hand to show that his brother did not have to blame himself.
"Moving the capital? It's good to move to Inju! Li Ziliang's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Wang Jian's hometown is in Licheng Port. It is because he will set the capital to open Beijing, our hometown is in Renzhou, the eldest brother might as well move the capital to Renzhou! In the past, the overlord of Chu didn't also say that wealth and nobility do not return to their hometown. Such as embroidering clothes at night, who knows! ”
The ministers of the Goryeo Kingdom liked to use historical allusions to the Central Plains as their own topics, which was much the same mentality as later Japan's preference for video games set in ancient China.
"The overlord of Chu was defeated by Liu Bang!" Li Ziqian's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened. has a prestige, and said: "Renzhou is too close to the sea, and there is a battle example of the Song people in front of me this time." Who knows that in the future, people in Liao and Jin will not follow suit? Your mood can be understood, but you can't govern the country according to your own preferences! ”
"The eldest brother has been taught, and the younger brother has been taught!" Li Ziliang hurriedly apologized, he made a fool of himself again and again, and he couldn't sit still, so he got up and said, "Without further ado, the little brother will go out to arrange!" ”
Li Ziqian nodded and said, "Be cautious, remember not to show flaws!" In addition, keep an eye on Han Anren, the old man, and his group of henchmen, now that my son-in-law is gone, I will see whose power they fight again! ”
……
"There is no way, and the city wall falls. Eighteen sons will be kings! ”
The next day, at some point, the residents of Kaijing heard more than a few children singing this new folk song in the market.
On the day of the breakdown, although not everyone had seen the sudden collapse of the city wall, they had basically heard it with their own ears, and there were even more good people who went to the ruins to verify it, although the city wall was slightly mended later, but the ruins and broken walls that can be seen everywhere can still glimpse the scene of the explosion that day. In Kaijing, where the theory of ghosts and gods is extremely prevalent, the fact that the heavens and the earth have collapsed twice in a row, which is difficult to explain with common sense, has long been sublimated to the level of mythology.
The Song army, which represents the king in this myth, did not infringe on the interests of the vast majority of residents after entering the city, but instead distributed food and salt, maintained order in the city, hunted and killed local ruffians and hooligans, punished corrupt officials and treated Qing officials favorably, so many inspiring measures gave a great contrast to the people who originally thought that they would be slaughtered by the Song people (the last tragic experience came from Liao), many people have begun to reflect on whether it is because their king annexed Tamluo, which caused the anger of the heavens and the resentment of the people, and called the heavens to borrow the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, Bringing severe punishment?
In short, the Song people's innocent behavior towards the people of Kaijing in Qiu added color to this myth from some aspects, which made many people begin to believe that Wang Yu was abandoned by God. And the maker of this rumor took advantage of the psychology of the people to process this twelve-character proverb that is enough to subvert the Wang family's national capital, and in less than half a day, it has spread all over the streets and alleys of Kaijing. I saw that under the cover of night, the residents of Kaijing were in groups of three or five, mysterious and discussing.
Li ...... Lee Tzu Him...... National thief, national thief! Before the Song people left, why didn't they kill this fang......"
As the saying goes, rumors stop at the wise, but there are not many wise people in Kaesong after all, Wang Yu's lonely minister Pingzhang Shi Han Anren is barely one, when he heard this rumor circulating on the street, he was already out of anger, with his political wisdom, it is really not difficult to see the last person who benefits from this proverb.
"Bang bang bang!"
The sound of banging on the door of the mansion sounded just right, Han Anren was suddenly startled, looked back at the little wife and children around him, and said bitterly: "I died here today!" (To be continued......)
