Chapter 262: The Imperial Court is in Action, the Farce of the Beggars
After getting what he wanted, Wang Hao took people back to Kaifeng City.
As for what will happen in the 'plot' of the Tianlong World, Wang Hao is not interested in participating, he is not very interested in the affairs of the Tianlong World, and its main purpose is to study the internal force of qi and blood, and spread the martial arts of qi and blood.
Now that the internal power of qi and blood has been started, all that remains is to carry forward the qi and blood martial arts.
For this reason, the next step is to sweep away the forces of the rivers and lakes, which is not only the martial artist of this era that he is not happy with, but also the transaction between him and Zhao Xi.
Zhao Xi used the energy of the Song State as the emperor to help Wang Hao preach, and Wang Hao helped Zhao Xi achieve the status of the first emperor of the ages, which is a mutually beneficial thing, and everyone takes what they need.
After returning to Kaifeng City, Wang Hao immediately took action to help cultivate the second phase, a total of 50,000 qi and blood troops, and was still preparing to become an army in one year, and after the establishment of two batches of 60,000 qi and blood troops, the Song State would have the strength to push the world.
However, before that, 80,000 of the 10,000 first-phase qi and blood troops were taken away by Huang Sheng and Zhou Dong, and the operation to sweep away the gang forces in the Song State began, Zhou Dong was in charge of the south, and Huang Sheng was in charge of the north, each with 4,000 people, and asked the local army and officials to cooperate, ready to solve the atmosphere of chivalry and martial arts in one go.
The high-level of the Song State has been preparing for this matter since half a year ago, and now all aspects have matured, and the biggest nail on the surface, the Wushuang Palace, has collapsed from the top, and the remaining forces only need to be pushed over.
Surrender or die, there is no third option.
The conditions given by the Song court were so simple, direct and domineering, which instantly caused an uproar in the world.
The unruly Jianghu sect will naturally not be easy to submit, but when Huang Sheng and Zhou Dong led people to fight and directly pushed the forces of various gangs, the people in the rivers and lakes understood that this time the court was serious, and there was a thunderous momentum.
For a while, the people on the rivers and lakes were panicked.
What made the people in the rivers and lakes even more angry was that the largest gang of beggars in the world actually held high the banner of supporting the imperial court, saying that they would do their best to help the imperial court calm the turmoil in the rivers and lakes.
This kind of behavior is completely against the entire rivers and lakes, and it is also digging the grave of the rivers and lakes, and is a traitor who is spurned by the forces of the rivers and lakes, and besides, the beggars can't get any benefits for themselves for such behavior, why do they do this? Is it because of the Xiang Army?
That's not right! Even if the beggars and the imperial court have a cooperative relationship, in fact, they are also working independently, how can the high-level beggars agree to the imperial court to do such a self-defeating thing?
In fact, this matter starts with Wang Hao's return to Kaifeng City, before the imperial court started to deal with the people in the rivers and lakes, the matter against the Jianghu sect was discussed, including how to deal with the beggar gang.
After all, the beggar gang and the imperial court are actually in a cooperative relationship, and there are a large number of members of the Xiang army, it is not good if it is kicked in a pot, but it is impossible for the beggar gang to support the big movement of the imperial court, which is a little difficult to do.
Moreover, the imperial court also has intelligence, Qiao Feng, the leader of the beggar gang, may be a Khitan from Liao, will such a person be a hidden danger?
Then Wang Hao heard about it, and he didn't say much, just mentioned it: "Qiao Feng? Oh, I know him, he's a talent. ”
That's not much, but it's enough.
Zhao Xi's mind instantly became active, the guy who can be called a talent by Wang Hao, the martial god, must be the top talents in the world, like Zhou Tong and Huang Sheng were praised by Wang Hao, and they really grew into the top people in the blood army in a short period of time.
If such a person cannot be subdued, then he must be wiped out.
Then, because of Wang Hao's praise, Zhao Xi subconsciously thought that Wang Hao had a good impression of Qiao Feng, so he immediately asked people to show Qiao Feng's information to him.
At the same time, Zhao Xi also received other information, that is, Ma Dayuan, the deputy leader of the beggar gang, was killed, and the murderer was suspected of Murong Fu.
After learning the news, Zhao Xi's first reaction was to talk nonsense, Murong Fudu was brain-dead, how could it be possible to kill Ma Dayuan? And he has been escorted to the capital to be secretly placed under house arrest, along with Murong Fu's family members, if it weren't for Wu Yazi, the master of the Grandmaster Realm who joined his side, Zhao Xi would definitely kill all the Murong family.
Rao is like this, Wushuang Palace was also secretly disposed of, losing the leadership of Murong Fu, and losing another three hundred elites, Wushuang Palace has no power to resist, so it was secretly served.
However, because the Wushuang Palace is hidden, the headquarters is very hidden, and the people in the rivers and lakes don't know where it is, so even if it is served in a pot, the rivers and lakes don't know about it, but they just find that the Wushuang Palace has suddenly become low-key recently, and no one can be seen for a long time.
In this case, Ma Dayuan's death can actually be related to Murong Fu, isn't this nonsense?
Subsequently, Zhao Xi was keenly aware of the smell of conspiracy, and after some investigation, he knew the truth of the matter, it turned out that someone within the beggar gang wanted to use the death of Ma Dayuan to frame Qiao Feng to help him, and he also had the evidence that Qiao Feng was a Khitan.
What a godsend!
Zhao Xi immediately asked Huang Shang to take a thousand blood troops, as well as the holy decree he wrote down to intervene in the civil strife at the top of the beggar gang, how to do it Zhao Xi didn't ask, he just wanted the result, Huang Sheng could give him a satisfactory result, he believed that Huang Sheng could do a good job.
Facts have proved that Huang Sheng did not live up to Song Zhezong's trust, and when Kang Min, the surviving of Ma Dayuan, the deputy leader of the beggar gang, joined forces with the elders of the beggar gang and her two lovers, Quan Guanqing and Bai Shijing, to frame Qiao Feng - Ma Dayuan was killed by them - Huang Sheng appeared on the stage with people and horses, and entered the infighting meeting of the beggar gang.
At this moment, Qiao Feng's true identity has been revealed, and the contradiction between the Khitan and the Han people in this era is basically the same as the contradiction between the island country and China during the Anti-Japanese War, so no matter what Qiao Feng did before, his identity as a Khitan made him deeply guilty and speechless, not to mention that the basin that killed Ma Dayuan was buckled on his head.
It can be said that this is the most helpless time in Qiao Feng's life, and Huang Shang's appearance at this time is a good time to help Zhao Xi subdue Qiao Feng?
What the? Qiao Feng is a Khitan?
Wouldn't that be better?
When attacking the Khitan in the future, he gave Qiao Feng a high-ranking official, and told the Khitan people in the way of horse bones in the Qianjin City that the Great Song Dynasty would not discriminate against a nation because of racial issues, and would give the same treatment as it deserved, provided that he became a Shunmin of the Great Song Dynasty and made cattle and horses for the Great Song Dynasty for a lifetime.
Of course, it won't be said so explicitly, it will definitely be tactful, such as serving as a courtier.
But to be reasonable, in this feudal era, no matter how much an emperor in the court says that he loves the people like a son, in fact, he only treats the people as his own private property and wants the people to serve him for a lifetime.
This is a problem of the times, what to let the people be the masters of the country or something, I am afraid that it is not Shi Zhile, the era of productivity and knowledge popularization are not enough, democracy or something, and forced promotion will definitely become a dish.
Although Wang Hao's IQ is not as good as his teammates, he still understands some basic things, so he didn't think about promoting any democratic consciousness in this era, not to mention that he didn't understand these things, just focus on promoting his own qi and blood martial arts.
In short, under the strong intervention of the imperial court represented by Huang Shang, a farce of civil strife of the beggar gang was directly changed to the style of painting, and Huang Shang read out the holy decree as soon as he came, saying that the imperial court wanted to edict Qiao Feng, and named Qiao Feng as the honorary general of Zhengbei, so that he could integrate the forces of the beggar gang and serve the imperial court.
This can be fried directly, of course the beggar gang will not do it, especially Kang Min and others who finally made Qiao Feng stink.
However, then Huang Sheng directly told the truth about Ma Dayuan's death, and also took out the evidence, even witnesses - when everyone saw that several elders who usually didn't speak much suddenly came out and saluted Huang Shang with the courtesy of the court, the beggar gang suddenly trembled.
Only then did everyone understand how terrifying the imperial court's infiltration of the beggars was.
For this kind of subjugation by Zhao'an, Qiao Feng refused at first, but Huang Sheng then said that he knew the truth about Qiao Feng's life experience, and even knew who Qiao Feng's enemy was and that his father was still alive, so Qiao Feng hesitated.
Then, when the other unruly members of the Beggar Gang wanted to rebel against the control of the imperial court, and were directly abused by a thousand muscular hunks brought by Huang Shang, in the face of Huang Shang's blunt threat that if Qiao Feng did not continue to help, the Beggar Gang would be destroyed, Qiao Feng could only lower his arrogant head.
In this way, Qiao Feng became the eagle dog of the imperial court, and Huang Sheng blocked the events of the day very well, and those who knew and might disclose the information were all placed under house arrest, after all, in addition to the people of the beggar gang that day, there were many people from other forces, many of whom had a lot to do with Qiao Feng's life experience, so they were all arrested.
The next thing was very simple, Qiao Feng was taken to Kaifeng by Huang Shang, and then met the emperor.
When Qiao Feng found out that the Song Zhezong Zhao Xi he imagined was not powerless, but had a first-class master realm, he was shocked.
Subsequently, Zhao Xi took Qiao Feng to see the qi and blood troops, and asked more than a dozen fierce men of the qi and blood troops to fight with Qiao Feng, and when Qiao Feng was suppressed, Qiao Feng knew how terrible the imperial court was.
After that, Zhao Xi gave a combination of grace and power, saying that the next imperial court would clean up the forces of the rivers and lakes, integrate the interior of the Great Song Dynasty, and sweep away all hidden dangers, and then after a few years of large-scale formation of the blood army, it would sweep through the Eight Desolations and Liuhe, and when he was ready to hand over the vanguard position of attacking the Liao State to Qiao Feng, Qiao Feng realized.
Although Qiao Feng looks like a straight man of steel, he is actually a thick and thin person, and he knows how to choose. Moreover, although he is a Khitan, he actually has no feelings for the Liao State, after all, he grew up in the Song State since he was a child, and he has only hatred and no kindness with the Khitan people of the Liao State in his life.
In the plot world, Qiao Feng later restored his surname and changed his name to Xiao Feng, and he had no feelings for expectations at first, until he accidentally saved the Khitan Emperor, and was deeply favored by the emperor, and after forming a brother with the other party, he had inseparable feelings for Liao.
As for now...... To be reasonable, as long as Zhao Xi doesn't mind his Khitan identity, and still loves him so much and entrusts him with important tasks, he really doesn't mind leading troops to attack Liao.
The emperor's grace is vast, loyal to the monarch and patriotic, this sentence is not just a joke in feudal society, and in the Song Dynasty, when the literati ruled the country at its peak, countless people died one after another when the country was destroyed, and it is a brainwashing-level universal value.
