Chapter 128: Civil strife is about to start
Gao Qingyi left Zongfu's mansion, he originally planned to go directly to Zonghan's mansion to report, but when he was leaving, he suddenly had a thought again, first returned to his mansion, waited for the robe to be changed, and was about to go out, when he met the cavalry sent by Wan Yanchang.
The two sides looked at each other, and Gao Qingyi was shocked, knowing that something was wrong.
The centurion of the cavalry who led the team did not say much to him, but as soon as he looked at him, several golden soldiers jumped off their horses, carried him to their horses like chickens, and tied him up.
captured Gao Qing, and left soldiers and horses to guard Gaofu, and the cavalry went back to resume their lives. When he arrived outside Yanchang's mansion, he received another order, this person was extremely evil, and he did not need to be judged, and he was immediately beheaded.
At this time, it was almost evening, and the thick clouds were densely pressed on the top of the head of Shangjing, the Jin people inherited the Liao system, and the Liao Khitan Sinicization was deep, and the killing was also paid attention to the noon knife. The people in the city are 369 and so on, there are many Jurchens, Khitan, Huihui, Han, Bohai people, and people from the Western Regions, bustling all over the streets.
When he arrived at the entrance of the vegetable market, where he usually kills people, because it is not a normal procedure, the centurion who led the team did not wait much, and immediately ordered someone to drag Gao Qingyi, who was paralyzed, off the horse and escorted him to the middle of the market, ready to kill him.
This team of cavalry are all elite soldiers who have followed Yan Chang for many years, and they don't even remember how many people they killed, although they want to kill Han officials, they don't take it to heart, they laugh one by one, and after dragging Gao Qingyi to the place, a cavalryman pulled out his waist knife and slashed towards the back of Gao Qingyi's neck.
was about to make a move, but saw an old man in a Jurchen robe standing in front of Gao Qingyi, with his back to him, blocking Gao Qingyi tightly. The Jurchen cavalry, who was about to make a move, shouted in Jurchen words: "Get out of the way, old man, I will kill this person." ”
The old man leaned over and didn't know what to say to Gao Qingyi, and only after half a sound did he turn around.
"Marshal Du!"
Everyone was shocked and immediately bowed down to salute.
Originally, this person was Zong Han, and he was also the sticky Han in the Han population. He is the nephew of Taizu. Since the beginning of the army with each other, alert and wise, and brave, whether it is strategy and tactics, are the heroes of the Jin people, it can be said that Taizu can destroy Liao, this person has made the greatest meritorious service, and then with Zong Wangbing divided the east and west two roads, crossed the river to destroy the Song Dynasty. He has made great achievements again. When Jingkang was four years old, he led his troops to break through the sky and the army, and broke the main force of Zhao Gou's department. Lianke Yangzhou and Jiankang fought until the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River, drove Zhao Gou's head to the mouse, and waited until he retreated before he dared to return to land from the sea. And after this battle, Zong Han was impatient with the Han climate, and he felt tired, and knew that the Jin soldiers were now unable to destroy the Song people, so he returned to Shangjing and no longer cared about military affairs.
Rao is so. He is also the only marshal of the current Jin State, at least on the surface, the eldest king of the kingdom second only to the emperor of the country.
Seeing that he was here, everyone naturally hurriedly saluted, but heard Zong Han say coldly: "I have sent someone to plead with Deputy Marshal Zuo, you wait for the news, if you don't succeed, you will naturally kill you." ”
The centurion who led the team thought about his identity and knew that he couldn't resist him. At the moment, he smiled and agreed, and only said: "The villains are acting on orders, and since Marshal Du has discussed with Deputy Marshal Zuo, the villains are naturally waiting for orders." ”
Zong Han's face was gloomy, and he ignored him, so he only found a place to sit, sat down with a golden knife, and ordered someone to serve wine to Gao Qingyi to suppress the shock, and he also poured wine to drink with Gao Qingyi, Wen Yan comforted, and only said: "King Lu, why do they want to sell my face, they must not do it." ”
Gao Qingyi had calmed down at this time, he was originally a very smart person, and at this time he already understood in his heart that he had said the wrong thing in front of Zongfu, which caused the dying sick man to be jealous, so he wanted to kill him.
After thinking about this section, he already knew that he would not be fortunate today, and when he heard Zong Han speak, he was slightly worried in his heart, and immediately replied: "King Lu will kill me, and Marshal Du will not be able to save me even if he is afraid." ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"The minister was ordered by the marshal to go to the king of Zongfu, and the king said that after his death, the marshal should be in charge of the country; The minister said: The marshal is old and frail, and he doesn't want to ask more about state affairs, but if there is something in the country, he will naturally come out to speak, so please don't worry about it. ”
Zong Han nodded and said, "That's a very decent statement, what's wrong?" ”
Gao Qingyi said: "King Lu was beside the minister at the time, and the minister listened to him: Marshal Du is old and frail, so it's better to rest more." The minister was not convinced, so he rejected him, and only said: Marshal Du is sick and weak, and his brain is not confused. ”
Zong Han paused and said: "That person has always been jealous of being unkind, be careful, if you contradict him like this, of course he can't let you go." ”
Gao Qingyi's face was miserable, and he cried: "The ministers were indignant for a while, and they felt that King Lu and they were too villainous and ambitious, and they didn't take the marshal in their eyes, and they didn't agree for a while. After the minister finished speaking, His Royal Highness King Lu did not speak, but walked away, and soon after the minister returned home, he was escorted to ask for beheading. ”
Zong Han was furious when he heard this, stood up, kicked over the table and chair in front of him, his hands trembled, and he wanted to swing his knife and slash indiscriminately.
Wan Yanchang is his elder, but he is not as old as him, he has never respected the other party as an elder, when he attacked the Song Dynasty, this person was only his deputy, but now that he is old, he doesn't want to ask more about political and military affairs, this person is entangled in the party, and his power is getting bigger and bigger, so he doesn't put himself in his eyes.
It's just that although he was angry, he also knew that what Gao Qingyi said might not be completely true, and he also thought in his heart that Wan Yanchang might sell him a face after all, and he would not offend himself so blatantly.
barely calmed down at the moment, and comforted Gao Qingyi with a few words, and then waited for the news from Yan Chang's side.
After a while, I saw a small group of cavalry galloping over, and when they arrived in front of Zong Han, they were led by a fierce An, who was also the old department of Wan Yanchang, and saw Zong Han looking at him coldly, so he hurriedly rolled off his horse and dismounted, saluted Zong Han with a fist, and said with a smile: "I have seen Marshal Du." ”
Where did Zong Han have the mind to be perfunctory with a little Meng'an, and only asked with a cold face: "What about King Lu, what did he say?" ”
Na Meng'an smiled and said: "King Lu said that he is busy, so he won't come to see Marshal Du." ”
He paused, and saw that Zong Han's face became more and more ugly, although he thought in his heart that the other party was just a dead tiger, but somehow, he only felt his heart tremble.
Reluctantly raised his spirit, and said to Zong Han: "In the light of Deputy Marshal Zuo, His Royal Highness King Lu, Taishi Ling's Three Provincial Affairs, His Royal Highness King Chen, Shangshu Ling, All the Armies at Home and Abroad, His Royal Highness the King of Song, Gao Qing's Descendants and Rats at both ends, conspiracy to create chaos, must be killed, please Marshal Du Don't stop it." ”
The King of Lu he said was naturally Wanyan Chang, King Chen was Wanyan Zongjun, and King Song was Wanyan Zongpan. These three people are all powerful kings who hold the authority of the country and control the military power in Beijing, and behind them, they are a corresponding interest group, because they have the same political opinions and general interests, that is, the sound of dogs and horses, these people are already very difficult to control after the death of Jin Taizong, and no one can compete with them. If Zongfu is here, he can still influence them, Zongfu will die, and no one can affect the decision of these people.
As soon as Zong Han heard the decision of these people, he already knew that the matter was irreparable, glanced at Gao Qingyi, who was pale, stomped his feet, and said angrily: "Go see the emperor." ”
That Meng'an had already recovered from the awe at the beginning, and when he saw Zong Han like this, he knew that the other party had no choice, and immediately said: "When the time comes, King Lu and others will go hunting at Your Majesty, and they will not be in the palace at this time." ”
Jin Xizong was still a teenager at this time, and he couldn't personally take charge of the country's affairs, and when this person became an adult, he was also decisive in killing, dealing with the relationship between the king of Zong, and when he took back the power of the central government, he was wise and decisive, and did not hurt the country, and at this time, Wan Yanchang and others competed for power with Zong Han and Zong Bi kings, but he didn't understand it at all, and just stayed out of the matter.
As soon as Zong Han heard this, he knew that there was no way to do it, and immediately became angry, then sad.
When he turned his head to look at Gao Qingyi, he saw that the other party had already supported his head and was waiting to die, and he felt even more discouraged, and he was excited at the moment, burst into tears, and said to Gao Qingyi: "I regret not listening to what you said at the beginning, so that there is today's disaster!" ”
Gao Qingyi originally closed his eyes and waited for death, but when he heard Zong Han say this, he only scolded in his heart: "Stupid and stupid, what an incorrigible barbarian!" ”
I didn't want to answer him, but I was too unwilling to die, and after thinking about it for a while, I whispered to Zong Han: "Let's look at King Shen." ”
Zong Han immediately came to his senses, retreated and kept silent, and watched a soldier step forward and kick Gao Qingyi's waist, kicking Gao Qingyi's neck and waving his hand, blood splashed everywhere, and he was already in two places on his body.
Zong Han's face was pale, he turned around and got on the horse, and without speaking, he turned around and left.
And what he said was clearly heard by the Meng An just now, and he immediately turned around, and went back to meet Yan Chang, 1510, and even had to add fuel and vinegar to make it clear.
Wan Yanchang was with Zong Jun and Zong Pan at this time, and after hearing the report from his subordinates clearly, he couldn't help but sneer and said to everyone: "Listen, that dead guy really persuaded our Marshal to rebel!" ”
Zong Jun is the most incompetent one among the sons of Taizu, partial birth and blessing boundless, married to Zhao Ji's youngest and most beautiful daughter Ningfu Emperor Ji Zhao Zhuzhu, married him when he was only fourteen years old, and in order to fight for Zhao Zhuzhu, he also offended a lot of brothers, when Zong Wang and others were there, he shrank his head and never dared to make trouble, at this time he finally got on the stage, held power, and after listening to Yan Chang finished speaking, he shouted:
"Kill him! After all, this person is the marshal of the capital, there are too many old departments, and the power is not small, no matter how he pretends to be a director, and he says that he is sick, once he really deals with us, who can resist it? ”
Wan Pan also agreed, Wan Yan Changzhi was a little hesitant, and only said: "This person has not asked about things for a long time, and he usually doesn't even go out of the mansion gate, let's kill Gao Qingyi this time, which is equivalent to giving him a warning, and also giving a warning to those who are attached to him, so that's it, right?" ”
