Zhao Chen had a gloomy face, came out of Jingshou Palace, and returned to the Heart Cultivation Palace. He sat upright on the chair, Dalaohu brought him tea, Zhao Chen took a sip, and immediately threw the teacup on the ground: "Such a bitter tea, do you want to kill me?" Come on, drag it down and fight until you die. ”

No matter how Zhao Chen lost his temper in the palace, the mainstream opinion of the deacons was still not to go out on patrol. Until one day, Huainan West Road was in an emergency, saying that the Jin soldiers of Dengzhou were testing Huaixi. Wang Boyan of Huainan East Road played that there were already homeless people in Huainan who had ganged up to bandit and disturb the canal.

When Zhao Chen got these news, he immediately summoned Li Gang to the palace to ask for the right thing.

"Your Majesty, the gold thief disturbs Huaixi, and the local garrison can be guarded, as long as the city is guarded, the gold thief won't take long?"

"Aren't you afraid that the gold thief will copy the back road and cut off the grain road?"

"As long as the soldiers are attentive, there is no such danger."

"What if the soldiers don't care?" Zhao Chen asked.

"He should be severely punished."

"My life has been lost, what's the use of heavy punishment." Seeing that Li Gang was speechless for a while, Zhao Chen became energetic: "Xianggong should be far-sighted, if Huaixi is lost and Huaidong is turbulent, Lone has no choice but to retreat south, so as not to be caught in the golden thief urn." ”

Li Gang frowned imperceptibly, how could he use an urn to catch a turtle in an urn to describe himself, or the emperor, he pushed and said: "Huainan and Huaibei have heavy soldiers and famous ministers, how can they be easily corrupted?" Your Majesty is relieved. ”

But in the next few days, there were reports of the arrival of the golden man Wanyan Saili after the capture of Dengzhou, and plundered around Dengzhou.

On May 18, he fell into Caizhou after Yan Saili, and knew that Guo Zan of Ruyang County had died.

On May 22, Wanyan Saili was trapped in Fangzhou.

On May 24, the Jin people were trapped in Ruzhou, and Xie Jinggo was killed.

On May 27, Wanyan Saili fell into Fangzhou, which had already entered the boundary of Jinghu North Road.

Judging from the report, the defenders of Jinghu were vulnerable.

Zhao Chen insisted on going south to patrol Xing, on the one hand, he was a teenager and wanted to go to the south of the Yangtze River to play, and on the other hand, he was really afraid of being surrounded by Jin soldiers in the city. Hearing the Jin soldiers raging in the southwest, he couldn't help but get nervous.

Zhao Chen eagerly summoned Zai Zhi to enter the pair late at night. Li Gang said: "Zai Zhi entered the palace late at night, and the Jingshi was terrified. It's not too late to discuss it tomorrow. ”

Zhao Chen was very frightened, and he went to see Zhu Fenglian overnight. Zhu Fenglian couldn't help but panic when he heard that Yan Saili was so powerful. She pretended to be calm: "Don't panic, child, since Li Xianggong is so calm, there must be a way to break the enemy." "But I thought in my heart, Shu Kang, Jin Bing went deep into the southwest such a crisis, you are only afraid and did not expect it.

Finally stayed up until the morning, Li Gang finally entered the palace, and Zhao Chen asked: "Li Xianggong, there is no one to stop you in the Wanyan Competition, will it cut off the grain of the imperial court?" ”

Li Gang said: "Your Majesty, don't panic, as long as the southeast platform continues to move, Bianliang will definitely be able to hold it." ”

In the afternoon of the same day, a message came from the east: On May 22, Wushen, Zhao Ye, a military officer of Zhimi Prefecture, abandoned the city.

Zhao Ye used to govern Zhimi Prefecture, and when he saw that the thieves in Shandong were rampant, the king's fate was not clear, so he loaded a cart with baggage and took his family to ride a sedan chair and horse, and abandoned a city of soldiers and civilians for a long time. The military and civilians talked indefinitely for two days, so Du Yan and others made a disturbance. The canal is in turmoil.

At this time, Li Gang was not sure whether he could keep the fortune of the gang, so he convened a meeting of the deacons.

He Li said: "In the past, Wang Dianshuai said that the premise of being able to defend Bianliang was to have grain and grass, but now that the program is chaotic, there is no guarantee for grain and grass." Not to mention the matter of defending the city, even the millions of displaced people on the side, if there is no food and grass relief, I am afraid that there will be chaos. ”

Zhang Chengbo said: "Bianliang must not be abandoned, even when the gold thief hit the city and broke through the west city wall, I didn't give up, not to mention this time, the gold thief is still far away." ”

Sun Fu said: "This time, that time." During the Jingkang period, the gold thieves besieged the city, but the grain and grass in the city were enough for a year, although there were no gold thieves at the moment, but hunger and murder were better than soldiers. ”

At present, among the four rulers, He Li and Sun Fu advocate leaving, Zhang Chengbo advocates staying, and Li Gang is still hesitating: "If you go, the official family is safe, but the Son of Heaven abandons the country, and the world is laughing." But if you don't leave, because of lack of food and Bianliang City is broken, it will be even more of a joke. ”

Seeing Li Gang hesitating, Sun Fu hurriedly said: "Millions of displaced people around Bianjing, I am a mistake in the Chinese book, if there is chaos, I will leave a stench for 10,000 years." ”

His words were vague, but Li Gang and others understood: Sun Fu said that the exiles were a mistake in the Chinese book, which meant that Zhao Chen's handwritten book was sent out without being in the Chinese book province, and the wanderers became chaotic not so much that Sun Fu would be stinking for 10,000 years, but that Zhao Chen would be stinky for 10,000 years because of the handwriting of digging the river. However, the emperor cannot be directly blamed, and Sun Fu replaced it with himself.

What Sun Fu said was the truth, if the fortune of the program is broken, the surrounding displaced people will change, and Zhao Chen, who caused the displaced people, will not be able to escape the blame. Further, will the governors who assisted Zhao Chen leave any good reputation in the history books?

Li Gang said: "The matter of patrolling is very big, and it should be discussed in court." ”

The next morning, under the auspices of Li Gang, the three provinces, the six ministries of the Privy Council, the Imperial Historical Tower, and the nobles and nobles of the state and above were held. The focus of the court discussion soon fell on whether or not to patrol the luck.

First of all, Sun Fu, who advocated patrolling, explained the reason: the southeast platform movement may be broken, the displaced people will make trouble, and Bianliang will not be able to hold it without food.

Many nobles first stated: "Your Majesty's safety is the most important, and you should patrol Jiangnan." "They are the most willing to go, no one wants to live the days of the siege of the Jin soldiers again, and when they go to Jiangnan, they have cars, horses and families, and they will not suffer too much along the way.

Zhang Chengbo stood up against it: "The country cannot be left without an owner for a day, and Your Majesty must not move lightly." ”

All the ministers said that the prestige of Zaizhi is very heavy, and there is Zaizhi sitting in Bianliang, and the people of the world are not worried.

Zhao Chen saw that so many people supported him to patrol the fortification, and he was a little bolder, and said: "With Li Xianggong, Zhang Shumi, and Zhang Zhongshu sitting in Bianliang, I am very relieved. ”

At this time, I heard an angry shout from the hall, and the seventy-year-old palace attendant Yushi, Hebei West Road Zhaofu Zhang stood up: "The minister wants to be impeached." ”

"Lao Qing's family, who do you want to impeach?"

"The old minister wants to impeach Zhao Chen, the faint king, his heart is beating, his behavior is frivolous, he sits in the country, and has the heart of the world, but he is afraid of the enemy and avoids the war, and escapes to the south of the Yangtze River, the old man wants to be impeached, this son is not like a human king."

As soon as his impeachment came out, the whole hall was shocked, and no one spoke for a while.

Zhao Chen came back to his senses: "Come on, pull this old man down." ”

Li Gang said: "Official, Hugh is impatient. He shouted to the guards who had already gone up to the temple, "Don't retreat yet." ”

Then Li Gang said to Zhang Suo: "Impeaching the monarch is not the responsibility of the imperial history, Zhang Zhaofu please resign." ”

Zhang retreated, but he was impeached just now, and the momentum of the patrol faction was knocked down. Zhang Chengbo seized the opportunity and said: "The Queen Mother is still in prison, and it should be decided by the Queen Mother." ”

"Why should this matter alarm the Queen Mother?" Zhao Chen wanted to stop it.

Li Gang made a decision: "Zhong Zaifu, Li Zhongcheng, Zhang Shumi, we will go to see the Queen Mother together, and respectfully ask for the Holy Judgment." ”

Zhao Chen couldn't, so he had to ask Huang Yanjie to report, and after a while, Huang Yanjie turned back: "The sage invited Li Xianggong, He Xianggong, Zhang Zhongshu, Sun Youcheng, Li Zhongcheng, and Liu Ju, a direct scholar of the ancient palace, to serve the imperial history Zhang to discuss matters in the Ruisi Palace. ”

When everyone arrived at the Rui Si Palace, Zhu Fenglian was already waiting behind the screen.

"Today's dispute in the palace, I have heard a rough idea, and I also asked Li Xianggong to elaborate on it for the mourning family."

Li Gang said all the views of the two factions.

Zhang Chengbo added that it was necessary for the official family to sit in Bianliang.

Zhu Fenglian pondered for a long time, and everyone in the Ruisi Hall didn't even dare to come out, and after a while, Zhu Fenglian asked: "Li Xianggong, the mourning family will ask a word, if the transportation is cut off and the grain and grass are cut off, can Xianggong have a way to deal with it?" ”

Li Gang pondered for a while: "The minister should try to get through the Gangyun. ”

"There's no way around it." Zhu Fenglian sighed.

Zhang Chengbo hurriedly said: "The heart of the world in Bianliang can't go." ”

Zhang said: "The minister guarantees with his life, if it is a critical moment, the minister must sacrifice his life to escort the official family and the saint to break through." ”

Zhao Chen said: "What's so tight about your life......

"Shut up," Zhu Fenglian shouted, "Emperor, slap your mouth ten times." ”

Zhao Chen was stunned, and Zhu Fenglian said angrily: "Don't fight yet." Zhao Chen slapped himself a few times.

Zhu Fenglian said at this time: "You don't have to worry that Bianliang is unguarded, the mourning family is still in prison, so stay behind." ”

The ministers in the Rui Si Hall bowed down: "The Queen Mother is Shengming." ”

Zhao Chen also knelt on the ground: "I'm ashamed of my son." ”

Zhu Fenglian thought to himself: "Shu Kang, my life, my power, I will entrust you with a word." She said to the ministers: "All Aiqing, please get up, dare to ask which ones are escorting the official family, and which ones are helping the mourning family to guard Bianliang." ”

Li Gang hadn't thought about it yet, but he naturally took a step: "Weichen is willing to guard Bianliang." ”

Zhang Shuye, Zhang Chengbo, and Zhang Suo also said: "Weichen is willing to stay." ”

Liu Ju said: "The minister knows Kaifeng Mansion, and the responsibility of guarding the land cannot go." ”

Zhu Fenglian said: "Li Zhongcheng, what about you? ”

Li replied, "The minister is not familiar with military affairs, so he should be escorted by the official's side and supervise the Xiaoxiao." ”

"He Xianggong and Master Sun are definitely going to escort the emperor?"

He Li's face turned red: "The minister is willing to stay." ”

Zhu Fenglian said: "No need, of course the prime minister has to follow the official family." Li Xianggong, you also go south with the emperor. In Bianliang City, Zhang Chengbo stayed in power, Zhang Shuye stayed in the privy, and Zhang stayed in the imperial history, what do you see the emperor? ”

"It's all up to the Queen Mother's judgment." As long as he is promised to go south, Zhu Fenglian can do whatever he wants, and he won't be able to control him for a few days.

"Since the emperor is going south, the front division of the palace will also follow south, let Wang Yu lead the army."

Li Gang said: "Wang Dianshuai is gone, who is in charge of the Bianliang City Defense?" ”

"It was presided over by Hu Yanzhuo, who was commanded by the guards and the pro-army and the horses. The infantry army commanded Xie Qian to also go south with the emperor and preside over the defense of Huaixi. ”

"The son of the minister leads the decree."

"Commandment."

"Let's all stand down, the mourning family still has something to say to the emperor."
