Chapter 131: Sit and watch the storm
Last night, there was chaos in the city, and the flames were soaring, and the thorns naturally woke up early. He is the eldest grandson of Taizu, and he has been raised as a prince since he was sensible, even if it is Emperor Taizong, he also looks up to him, and does not regard him as an ordinary child of the clan. In this way, his bearing and city government are far stronger than ordinary young clan children, and at the same time, he is also a little more arrogant than ordinary brothers.
Because of the unknown situation, as soon as the forbidden palace in Shangjing found that there was chaos in the city, it was the sword out of the sheath, the bow and arrow, and the palace guards who had more than a dozen circles around the periphery of the sleeping palace of Hejiao, and the chaos gradually stopped at dawn, and the order was restored. Originally, many people asked him to order the Shangjing garrison to come forward to quell the chaos, but he also coldly refused.
Although he was young, he was born an aristocracy, and the people who held the responsibility of education around him were the elites of the Jurchens, Khitans, and Han people, and countless historical allusions and the reality he saw in his eyes made him clearly understand that no matter which force initiated this civil strife, it was not something he could control at the moment, and as long as he maintained relative neutrality, with his identity as a great grandson and grandson of the clan assembly, the people who caused the rebellion would not be able to affect his status for a while.
When the sky is bright, the city becomes more and more quiet, but it is more common, but it is cold and weird.
At this time, the permanent counselors in the palace have already arrived, and the king of the emperor in Beijing will also enter the palace to greet him. Then there are the close ministers of the joint assassin, the clan Yungui, and the generals at all levels, although the joint assassin has not yet been in the government, but these government and military affairs are reported to him on the surface, so that he can start earlier and can take the helm in advance.
Until the situation was settled, someone came to report it, and the whole palace also knew that it was Wanyan Zonghan who was in trouble, and everyone looked at each other and didn't know how to express it.
Zong Han is the patriarch of the clan. Dajin's marshal is far above the kings who were killed and arrested by him, and although the kings are actually in power, they have to respect Zong Han at least on the surface, Zong Han has not asked about foreign affairs in the past few years, and he didn't think that he would suddenly be like this, without warning in advance, which is really surprising.
At this time, many clans and generals in Beijing had rushed to the palace. Everyone knew that Zong Han would arrive soon, so they all gathered in front of the palace hall, huddled around the joint thorn, one guard, and the other to see what Zong Han planned.
When Zong Han Yaowu arrived, he honestly dismounted and walked in front of the palace gate, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, this elderly prince did not seem to have any intention of usurping the throne.
When he walked a little closer, Wanyan Xiyin stepped forward first. He asked Zong Han: "Marshal Du set up a rebellion late at night. What is the reason for killing clan relatives without permission, and now leading troops into the palace? ”
He is on par with Zong Han. Since childhood, he has raised troops with Taizu, guarding left and right, and there are more literary talents in addition to martial arts, and the Jurchen script was also created by this person, when Yan Zonghan and Zong Wang raised troops to destroy the Song Dynasty, this person was Zongwang's supervisor, and he was Zongwang's deputy, in fact, with this person's talent, his position should be higher, but he was a distant branch of the clan. So I suffered some losses invisibly, and because of this, I worked harder, and today, when the Jurchen talents are withering, Xi Yin's talent is more obvious, and he has also become a person who has been wooed by all parties, and he is also very intellectual, and he is close to all parties, except for a slightly better relationship with Zong Bi, he is not too alienated or close to the rest of the parties.
Because of this. At this time, it is the most suitable person to come forward and question Zong Handi, and it is naturally this person.
Zong Han was stunned at first, and then he was already in tears, and he finished talking about yesterday's events with a handful of snot and tears, during which he couldn't help but add oil and vinegar, and the other party seemed to be going to kill him later. After he finished speaking, naturally his henchmen stepped forward and accused Yan Chang and others of arrogance and lawlessness and attempted rebellion. Pity the rest of Yan Chang's henchmen were arrested and killed, Wan Yan Chang and Zong Pan were tied up like zongzi, where could they defend themselves, they had to let Zong Han and his party wantonly climb dirt.
He Tingyuan also respected Zong Han very much, and at this time, he watched the other party spitting everywhere, although he tried to make a respectful appearance, he couldn't hide his unruliness in his bones.
He was extremely unhappy in his heart, but his face was expressionless, and when Zong Han and the others finished speaking, he said:
"Marshal Du understands the righteousness and eradicates evil for the country, which is very good. It's just that there are some Meng Lang who act, and he is very disturbed. ”
Zong Han looked at the calm thorn on his face, but he felt a chill in his heart for no reason, and immediately cheered up and replied: "That's right, so I rushed to ask Your Majesty for guilt early in the morning." ”
He said that he was asking for sin, but in fact, the big thorn was completely disrespectful, or in other words, in the eyes of the thorn, it was even more unruly.
He reluctantly agreed, to show that he didn't care anymore, but turned around and looked around again, and asked his guards, "Where is Wulu, why aren't you there?" This matter should be discussed by all the kings, and it should be known to King Yi and King Shen. ”
The Wing King is Zong Fu, and the King Shen is Zong Bi, the prestige of these two people is not under Zong Han, and Zong Bi is far away in Qizhou, and everyone understands the meaning of the assassination, and this matter naturally requires Zong Fu to come forward and argue with Zong Han.
As soon as he finished speaking, a young guard stepped forward and bowed, and replied, "The Wing King was not in a good situation last night, and Wulu returned to his house to serve, but did not come to wait for the holy driver. ”
As soon as he heard this letter, he felt even more bored in his heart, and he was unreasonable, but he saw Wulu rushing not far away, he was overjoyed, and almost moved his steps to meet him, but his distinguished status for many years made him stop, and his young face was a little majestic.
His heart sank, and he couldn't help but ask Wu Lu, "What's wrong?" ”
Wu Lu endured his grief and knelt down to the stab and replied: "My father died last night, and when he was dying, I told my subordinates that they must be loyal to Your Majesty so as not to disappoint his old man. ”
He Thorn originally respected Zongfu, and Zongfu was also very popular in the entire Jin Kingdom, and the historical records record that Zongfu is forgiving, benevolent, honest, and dignified, which is daunting. At this time, Wulu knelt in front of the steps, bursting into tears, and he felt that his eyes were sour, and when he looked at the ministers, many of them were showing their faces, even Zong Han heard the bad news, and he was also in tears.
"Alas, the country has lost a heavy minister!"
He couldn't help but cry, last night's incident, and the death of Sosuke Partial Life at this time, a sense of foreboding came to his heart, making him uneasy.
On the opposite side, the momentum of the Song Kingdom is like a rainbow, and it is becoming stronger and stronger, and the Jin Kingdom has become an eventful autumn, and it is no longer the vigorous posture of the founding of the country, is it disgusted by God?
He shuddered and banished the bad thoughts. He glanced at Zong Han and knew that no one could control this person at this time, he needed a few years later, secretly cultivating power, and he couldn't stimulate the other party to take risks, his emperor throne was of course recognized by the entire Wanyan tribe, but so Zong Han did it blatantly, who really dared to use his life to protect him?
With a sad look below, he said to Zong Han: "King Yi has passed away, and the major matters in Beijing should be discussed and decided with the marshal of the capital." Last night, Marshal Du punished the evil and eradicated the hidden dangers for the country, and I liked it in my heart.
However, when the Winged King died, I thought of the withering of the founding kings, and my heart was saddened. ”
When he said this, he paused deliberately, seeing that Zong Han was still helpless, everyone behind him was nervous, and even someone pressed the handle of the knife with his hand, stabbing his heart for a moment, and then said urgently: "Zong Jun has already helped him, so it's okay, Zong Pan has always done a lot of evil, when the Ming canon punishment is to do the effect, Wan Yanchang is the elder of the clan, or the younger brother of Taizu, I am still a little wider, leaving his life, what does Marshal Du think?" ”
This kind of disposition is exactly what Zong Han wants, and he leaned over at the moment and replied, "It will be up to Your Majesty to decide." ”
He stabbed and said: "These few henchmen should be handed over to Marshal Du, but those who can spare their lives can save one life, so as not to do too much of the virtue of the good life of God." ”
"Okay, that's nature."
Zong Han knew what was going on, and it was useless to stay longer, so he immediately turned around and said goodbye to Hejiao, turned around, and slowly withdrew.
Outside the gate of the palace, everyone got on the horse together, and Wanyan Qi saw that there was no one on the four sides, so he beat the horse to Zong Han's side and asked him in a low voice: "Today we have controlled the overall situation, Your Majesty is also timid, Zong Fu is dead, Xi Yin is just a grass on the wall, if you take the opportunity to kill a few more and replace the people around Your Majesty with ours, I am afraid that ......"
Zong Han shook his head and said, "What do you know." ”
Seeing his son's puzzled expression, his heart was on fire, and he said in his heart: "If you are angry, it's okay, one is more stupid than the other!" ”
But he explained to his son in a gentle manner: "Zong Bi is outside, so he can't give him an excuse." Kill Zong Pan and Zong Jun, Zong Bi will only be happy, if it threatens His Majesty's safety, do you think he is a straw bag? ”
Wanyan Qi thought of Zong Bi, but he was also full of jealousy, and couldn't help nodding, but he was unwilling, and said: "If Zong Bi loses the battle and cuts his military power, this is the best!" ”
Ambition is like a weed, if it is not curbed, it will spread boundlessly, Zong Han was shocked when he heard this, turned his head to look at Wan Yan Qi, but he was silent, and he moved forward.
After a long time, Zong Hanfang resolutely ordered: "After releasing Yan Chang, let him live in the mansion, and don't ask about military affairs again." ”
As soon as he gave an order, someone stepped forward to answer, and seeing that Zong Han had no other instructions, he couldn't help asking:
"Marshal, do you want to keep a strict watch over his house?"
Zong Han reprimanded: "Bastard nonsense, since it's all released, what else to watch." ”
"Yes, my subordinates understand."
was reprimanded by him for no reason, and others naturally didn't dare to speak, so they immediately went to obey the order. And Wan Yanqi was stunned at first, and then thought of his father's intentions, but couldn't help but smile slightly. Seeing his son like this, Zong Han also knew that the other party understood, and smiled at the moment: "Let's sit in Shangjing and watch the changes in the situation." ”
