CHAPTER XIV

Ye Zongge sneered: "No need! ”

After that, he held his head high, held the Ming and Huang edicts handed over by the servants in his hands, and shouted loudly: "The queen mother has an edict, the inspector is a major guard, the Wusheng army is a festival envoy, and the left army of the imperial camp is under the command of Han Shizhong to receive the edict!" ”

While shouting, he held the edict in his hand and slammed into the handsome mansion.

Because of the bright yellow and shining edict in his hand, those brave generals who did not change their faces in the face of the enemy's thousands of troops, although they were armed with swords, no one dared to step forward to stop them.

He was originally outside the main gate of this Shuai Mansion, shouting, crashing in, stepping through the main gate in a few steps, passing through the hall, and the Yi Gate, until he reached the bottom of the steps of the main hall of the Shuai Mansion.

It was so noisy that the generals of the Han Department who were discussing in the main hall had already been alarmed, and Ye Zongge looked at it from a distance, only to see dozens of generals looking left and right, tilting their heads and tilting their heads, looking towards their side.

It's just that Han Shizhong's military orders are extremely strict, and no one dares to talk about each other, and no one dares to move half a step.

Xie Yuan was sweating profusely and followed behind him, but he didn't dare to solve this bold civilian official with violence, so he just kept persuading.

was making a lot of noise, and there was a loud shout from the hall: "Xie Yuan, don't be persuaded, let him come in." ”

Xie Yuanmeng shuddered, quickly stopped, and smiled bitterly at Ye Zongge: "My lord, ask for more blessings." ”

Say retreat, don't dare to follow again.

Ye Zongge's heart was on fire, knowing that this cry with a Shaanzhou accent full of flavor must have come from Han Shizhong.

Because he walked away, he sneered: "Han Shaobao's shout is really full of temperament and majesty." ”

When he entered the hall, he saw Han Shizhong's golden knife sitting in the middle of the hall, and seeing that he didn't get up, Ye Zongge held the edict in his hand and shouted: "The edict of the Queen Mother, Han Shaobao will not accept it!" ”

But he heard Han Shizhong say angrily: "Lord Ye, this is a false edict, how can Han receive the edict!" ”

When Han Shizhong first arrived in Lin'an, he once went to Lin'an by sea to see the emperor, and when he was summoned in the palace, he had dealt with Ye Zongge several times, because Ye Zongge mastered the armament, and he was also very polite to him.

This edict, if it weren't for Ye Zongge to come, I'm afraid that even the current treatment may not be available.

Because the other party was still a little polite, Ye Zongge was not excessive, but said: "Lord Han, the lower official is not fake, this Empress Dowager's edict was also sent to the lower official in front of the Empress Dowager Longyou, how can it be called a false edict?" ”

Han Shizhong stood up suddenly, strode in front of Ye Zongge, stared at him and said, "How can you not be hypocritical?" His Majesty was forced to abdicate, the Queen Mother was also in the hands of the rebellious army, the sword and gun were in front of her, and her life could not be saved, how could you say that this edict was true? ”

Ye Zongge was not short, but he was forced close by this Han Shizhong, but he felt that the other party, who was originally only of medium height, was actually a head taller than him.

In addition, the other party's eyes were like electricity, staring at him, although he was not wearing armor and holding soldiers, he still had a great momentum, oppressive.

Compared with those brave generals who only have murderous and martial arts on their bodies, Han Shizhong, who is already a town general, has a fierce momentum that can only be possessed by a general who commands thousands of troops and horses to lead the safety of a party and carries millions of lives.

This momentum came straight down, and even Ye Zongge was speechless for a while.

But I heard Han Shizhong say again: "A poor since childhood, eighteen years old in the army in order to make a living, after joining the army, after going through hardships, under the hands of Tong Guan, repeatedly suspected, meritorious service is not compensated, Chongning four years, I will take the pass, make a great contribution, but only make up one order, made a righteous lieutenant." If it weren't for General Wang Yuan who took me to Fangla, and praised me as "ten thousand enemies", which made me famous in the army, he even sent me to capture Fangla alive and made great achievements, so I slowly became a Chengjielang. ”

Speaking of this, he looked around, sneered slightly, and said to the generals in the hall: "Lord Ye can read a few books, and he will be able to enter and exit the generals, and he will be in a high position, how can we know the hardships of our small soldiers." ”

Ye Zongge was embarrassed, he was originally very proud of his status as a jinshi, but in front of this eighteen-year-old marshal who joined the army, had countless scars on his body, and had a lot of achievements, he was so insignificant.

Most of the generals in the hall were also promoted by Han Chenzhong from low-level military attachΓ©s or even small soldiers, and everyone agreed with his words. For a while, there was a lot of laughter in the hall, and everyone clasped their arms and fists, asking Ye Zongge to look at the scars on his body and count his achievements.

But I heard Han Shizhong say again: "Because of this, we know that it is not easy to get credit and be appreciated." I, Han Shizhong, can have today, firstly, I want to worship the promotion grace of General Wang Yuanwang, and secondly, the great kindness of the Son of Jianyan, Han Mou will not dare to forget it for a day. ”

When he was under Zhao Huan, he was just a martial arts doctor, a training envoy of the Guozhou regiment, and an ordinary middle-level military attachΓ©. After Zhao Gou ascended the throne, he first trusted Wang Yuan, and because of Wang Yuan, he was also very trustworthy to him.

Since the first year of Jianyan, not long after Zhao Gou ascended the throne as emperor, he promoted Han Shizhong to the observer of Zhongzhou, with imperial equipment; Then there is the command of the left army of the imperial camp, the envoy of Ding**** Chengxuan, the deputy director of Yanyan Road, the general of Jiaping Kouzuo, and finally until Wusheng, Zhaoqing Army Festival Envoy, and Major Inspector.

In a few years, from a small group to the opening of the mansion, above the green clouds, Wang Yuan certainly played a lot of roles in it, in the final analysis, it is the reason why Zhao Gou greatly appreciates and reuses Han Chenzhong.

When Han Shizhong said this, he obviously said that he would not forget the grace of Wang Yuan and Zhao Gou's reuse and promotion, and he must raise troops to go to Lin'an, one to avenge Wang Yuan, and the other to repay the emperor's great favor of appreciating and reusing.

Seeing Ye Zongge's expressionless face, Han Shizhong sneered, turned back to his chair, and sneered at Ye Zongge: "Lord Ye, I don't know if you have any other ways to let me take the edict!" ”

Ye Zongge shook his head and sighed, and said to Han Shizhong: "General Han, you only said that King Kang treats you well, but you don't know, how can King Kang treat me idlely?" ”

He called Zhao Gou as King Kang, Han Shizhong couldn't help but be furious, and only shouted loudly at the moment: "Lord Ye is worthy of being Zhang Bangchang's first-class character, while praising the emperor's grace in his mouth, he is serving the enemy!" ”

He sneered again and again, and only said: "It is only said that the style of the literati, the scholars are the foundation of my Great Song Dynasty, since the funeral, the scholars who have joined the enemy to serve are not less than the warriors, it is really chilling." ”

Ye Zongge was not angry, but smiled slightly, and said to him: "General Han's words, the lower officials don't understand. That Zhang Bangchang worked for the Jurchens, although he later took the initiative to cut off the emperor's title, saw King Kang plead guilty, raised the court, although there was a precept from the ancestors not to kill the scholars, in the end persuaded King Kang to order him to commit suicide. I don't know that today Ye Mou came to pass the edict on the order of the Queen Mother, and served Jingkang Tianzi as Zhengshuo, and from then on, the country will no longer have the trouble of fighting between the two emperors, but what kind of enemy did he vote for? ”

Han Shizhong was stunned and didn't answer, just don't turn his head and stop making a sound.

In fact, his raising of troops was just to provoke righteous indignation, sad that his old boss was killed, and the emperor who promoted and reused himself was forced to abdicate, and the real fight would rise, in case the edict of Jingkang Tianzi arrived, whether or not to give up the edict at that time, and even caused a dispute between the Song army in the southeast Jiangzhun area and the western army that supported the emperor of Jingkang, until the two sides fought, which made the relatives painful and the enemies happy.

As a general in charge of these things, he naturally has considerations. It's just that I weigh the pros and cons in my heart, and feel that it is a chaotic army now, and I have always taken loyalty as the foundation of the army, if I don't care about it, I will wait for the news from Chang'an, and completely abandon the old master of King Kang, which is too shameful, and it is just that no matter what, I have to take action.

At this time, the other party threw out Jingkang Tianzi and refuted him in the name of righteousness and orthodoxy, and Han Shizhong was speechless.

But he heard Ye Zongge say again: "As the right person said, King Kang's treatment of the lower officials is not thin. The subordinate officials are in charge of the imperial camp ordnance, although the officials are not high, they are powerful. If it is based on personal favor, the matter of this edict will not be able to come. However, in terms of public opinion, General Han, Jingkang Tianzi is now in charge of the Western Army, and Fuping is in the battle formation in person, how can King Kang compare? Moreover, Jingkang Tianzi is the eldest son of Emperor Taishang, and the Great Song Dynasty is orthodox. King Kang is an expedient measure for the emperor to continue the temple, and An Neng will not go to the stack and compete with his eldest brother for the throne! ”

Speaking of this, the legitimacy of Zhao Huan's son of heaven finally made Ye Zongge win a completely overwhelming victory in this controversy.

In any case, Zhao Huan is orthodox. The power of orthodoxy, under the premise that Zhao Gou has no chaos, can not be fully revealed, once after Miao Fu's mutiny, although Zhao Gou's abdication is forced, no one feels that there is anything wrong with Miao Fu in this matter.

Even Han Chenzhong kept saying that he wanted to raise troops to Lin'an, but he could only use his personal friendship and old favor as an excuse, and it could not be said that Miao Fu forced Zhao Gou to abdicate because he was plotting rebellion and rebellion, and the reason for this was this.

"King Kang's abdication, although it is a mutiny, is also the desire of the people. Now the Lin'an envoy has gone to Chang'an, and the matter will be played by Jingkang Tianzi, and the edict will be sent from Chang'an, will the general be edicted or resisted? If it is still today, where will my ancestors and ancestors in the Great Song Dynasty be placed in the past hundred years? The general thinks he is loyal and righteous, does he want to harm the world with his personal kindness? ”

The more the other party retreated, Ye Zongge did not give up, and his rhetoric became sharper and sharper.

Han Shizhong was silent, although there were many subordinates and generals, they did not dare to say a word to refute the confrontation at such a level.

After half a ring, Ye Zongge asked again: "Is the general willing to obey the edict?" ”

Han Shizhong sighed leisurely and turned his face.

He knew that he could also put away the tent at this point, and he didn't have to pretend anymore.

Because he got up and knelt down, he said to Ye Zongge: "Minister Han Shizhong is loyal to the edict of the Queen Mother, and he dare not disobey it." ”

As soon as he knelt like this, the rest of the generals also knelt and did not mention the edict in unison.

Ye Zongge only felt that his feet were weak, and he used a wave of anger in his chest to reprimand the other party with righteousness, in fact, if this Han someone is really annoyed, no matter what kind of edict you are, you will be killed with a knife first, I am afraid that no one can avenge him.

After the edict was read and sealed by Han Shizhong himself, Ye Zongge finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Han Chenzhong: "The general understands the righteousness, and the subordinate finally lives up to his mission." ”

Han Shizhong smiled slightly, and while taking his hand, he walked to the inner hall, and said to him softly: "Shizhong didn't plan to start a soldier seriously, but Liu Guangshibu is afraid that he is already on the way." ”

Ye Zongge was shocked, and only said, "How is this good?" ”

Han Shizhong shook his head and sighed: "Liu is absolutely different from me, he only has King Kang in his heart, King Kang refuses to abdicate, he plays a great role in it." I think Chang'an Tianzi also understands it in his heart, and Liu Guangshi knows it in his heart. In any case, he must find a way to save King Kang from the throne. This matter cannot be good, and I cannot turn my sword soldiers at my own people, and there are many golden soldiers on the other side, and I cannot abandon the defense line. What happens to this matter can only be seen and seen. ”
