Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Son of Heaven Dragon Fist
Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Son of Heaven Dragon Fist
Regarding the attitude of the beggars, the official Song Dynasty is very ambiguous.
Although the beggar gang is also very dedicated to fighting against the Khitan, the disciples of the beggar gang under their command have helped the officials and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty to do a lot of work, whether it is escorting grain and grass, spying on intelligence, or assisting in the attack......
But there is such a huge force under his control, which is not under his control, which no one in power wants to see.
Hearing the word beggar gang from Ye Chen's mouth, Zhao Ji was also slightly resistant in his heart.
"Daddy is worried about the beggars?"
As if seeing Zhao Ji's worries, Ye Chen said lightly.
"Not bad."
Maybe it was in front of his own family, Zhao Ji didn't hide anything, just shook his head and said: "Although the beggar gang is dedicated to my Great Song Dynasty at the moment, it is a force in the rivers and lakes after all, and it is not controlled by the imperial court...... There are hundreds of thousands of disciples of the Beggar Gang, if they are used by someone with a heart and control the Beggar Gang, it will be a huge blow to my Great Song Dynasty! ”
Ye Chen smiled lightly: "Daddy, have you ever thought that the disciples of the Beggar Gang are not in the hands of the Beggar Gang Leader, but in the hands of the imperial court...... If everyone lived and worked in peace, how many would be willing to become beggars? ”
Chen'er's words seem to have some truth...... It's just, hey! ”
When Zhao Ji heard this, his eyes lit up, but he quickly dimmed, shook his head and said: "When the prince presided over the new policy, the first emperor also admired it, but it was opposed by many people, and it had to end hastily after all. ”
As an emperor, how did Zhao Ji not know the country's ills?
But with the example of the failure of Wang Anshi's new policy, even Zhao Ji did not dare to touch this red line after succeeding to office.
At the end of the day, it was all in the very beginning of the glass of wine to release the military power, and the literati were raised, which led to the scholars and the Son of Heaven ruling the world together, and finally gradually formed a huge civil official system, lacking checks and balances.
As for the generals, their status has also become extremely low, and the soldiers do not know the generals, and the generals do not know the soldiers.
In this case, how can they win against the Liao and Western Xia?
And Ye Chen, when he heard Zhao Ji's words, he also felt a little regretful in his heart.
After coming into contact with the imperial history, he knew that Zhao Kuangyin released the military power with a cup of wine, and it was not that he did not leave a backhand!
As the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin knows and knows what the impact of his move will be in the future, but he has enough confidence - that is "Dragon Fist of the Son of Heaven"!
This is a martial art that only the royal family can practice, and the foundation of its cultivation is dragon qi!
The reason why Zhao Kuangyin relied on a pair of iron fists back then to lay down a huge country, and fought in the south and north everywhere, almost invincible, was to rely on this magical martial arts.
In fact, "The Fist of the Son of Heaven and the Dragon" has been preserved in the library until now.
But the emperors of all dynasties, except for Emperor Taizong Zhao Dezhao, all gave up practicing martial arts for various reasons......
As a result, the emperor could not personally conquer the expedition.
And after the release of military power with a glass of wine, the ability of the generals to lead the troops was also declining, and the tragedy of Jingkang's shame later occurred.
After thinking about it again, Ye Chen spoke again.
And the next words shocked Zhao Ji into a cold sweat.
"Daddy, I've heard a secret about the beggar leader's background...... Qiao Feng, the leader of the beggar gang, is actually not a Han Chinese, but a Khitan! ”
"What!"
At this moment, Zhao Ji really couldn't sit still, and his face sank suddenly: "Is Chen'er's words true?" ”
"It's true!"
Ye Chen opened his mouth and said quietly: "The former leader of the Beggar Gang once left a secret letter and handed it to Ma Dayuan, the current deputy leader of the Beggar Gang, which described the matter in detail, and Qiao Feng's life experience is also related to an old incident thirty years ago!" ”
"Keep talking......"
It can be said that Zhao Ji's curiosity was all mobilized by Ye Chen's words.
Fortunately, the two of them were in the imperial study, and there were no outsiders except for the personal guards, otherwise they didn't know what kind of storm would be set off.
"Thirty years ago, Shaolin abbot Xuan Ci received a flying pigeon biography, which said that a large number of Khitan warriors were coming to attack Shaolin Temple and steal the martial arts secrets in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. Xuan Ci, who learned of this, was shocked and invited many martial arts experts on the rivers and lakes at that time to go to the Yanmen Pass to ambush this group of Khitan warriors......"
"When this group of martial artists was good at hand, they found that the leader was a Khitan couple, the man had extremely high martial arts, and the woman was holding a baby in her arms, but she was powerless...... In the end, this group of Khitan warriors was eliminated by the abbot of Xuanci and others, only the head of the man, after seeing his wife die, left a line of Khitan characters on a stone wall outside Yanmen Pass, and then held the baby and his wife's corpse, and jumped into the cliff together. ”
"And then?"
A hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes, and Zhao Ji said.
Later, Xuan Ci and others rushed to the cliff, but a baby was thrown up from below...... In the end, the baby was entrusted to the young room Yamashita and adopted by a couple surnamed Qiao. ”
After a pause, Ye Chen continued.
"And that baby is the current leader of the beggar gang, Qiao Feng!"
"I see......"
Zhao Ji nodded, but it was rare not to ask Ye Chen how to understand the past incident thirty years ago in such detail, but shook his head and said: "In my opinion, this group of people in the rivers and lakes are all being used, and the Khitan warriors back then were only afraid that their status among the Khitans was not low." ”
"Yes, this person is the head of the pro-army of Empress Xiao of the Liao Kingdom, Xiao Yuanshan!"
"What a wolf ambition!"
As an emperor, Zhao Ji's thinking naturally quickly linked this matter to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and a line of cold sweat oozed from his head.
Once this matter is leaked by someone with a heart, most of the Liao State will use this as an excuse to start a war.
And the person behind the curtain can take advantage of the time when the two countries are at war to subvert the stability of the Great Song Dynasty from within......
This is an attempt to shake the country's foundation.
A trace of murderous aura flashed in his eyes, and Zhao Ji also said coldly: "Chen'er, since you are going to travel to the rivers and lakes, I will ask you a task, you must find out the main messenger behind this scene, and ...... Regarding Qiao Feng's life experience, are you sure to solve this matter? ”
The voice fell, and a system prompt sounded in Ye Chen's ears.
"Congratulations to the host, the quest is triggered: The Mystery of Qiao Feng's Background, please choose among the following options!"
"Option one, let the apricot grove incident happen, Qiao Feng's life experience will be revealed, and a copy of the "Sunflower Treasure Book" will be rewarded."
"Option two, prevent Qiao Feng's life experience from being exposed, expose the conspiracy, and reward a copy of "Dog Stick Method"."
"Option three, prevent Qiao Feng's life experience from being exposed, expose the conspiracy, and completely solve the troubles, and reward Xiaocheng of "Son of Heaven Dragon Fist"."
"Erchen should do his best!"
Ye Chen got up and arched his hand slightly: "However, I also ask my father to give me the power to mobilize the forbidden army." ”
"Yes!"
