Chapter 6001: Politics is powerless and short-lived
Before the reunion, Yang Jing also thought that after meeting with Zong Yun and others, he would have more help by his side, but now it seems that Zong Yun not only stayed, but also took Liu Han and Chang Shenyue away, saying that if he was not lost, he would sit on the grave and say cross talk, x
However, whether it is a blessing or a curse, Yang Jing is happy for Zong Yun and the people of the Great Song Dynasty.
Maybe Zong Yun will be spurned by the people of the Daomen for the rest of his life, and many people will stay away from him and be regarded as a deviant and deviant, or maybe he will achieve great achievements, enough to be promoted to a saint and worshiped through the ages.
In any case, he bravely took that step, willing to become a silent but resilient Great Wall on the border of the Great Song Dynasty, resisting the invasion of the iron hooves from the north!
Yang Jing cleaned up his mood, took Feng Ruo and the others, and brought King Hakman onto the boat.
First, King Ali Buge was stabbed to death by Yang Jing, and now Caizhou has been ransacked, and King Hakeman, who is sitting in Caizhou, has been captured alive, Li Tingzhi and Du Shu don't know whether to cry or laugh, so they can only make people hurry up to deliver military reports to Lin'an.
This kind of thing is also once and twice, the debts are not pressed, and there are too many lice to be too lazy to scratch, one is to kill, and two are also to catch, anyway, Zhao Yun's little incense has been exhausted, and Yang Jing is also a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, so he threw Zong Yun over and took over the hot potato.
Of course, the main battle faction in the DPRK and China is eager to celebrate every day, for them, this is a rare military achievement, a great victory against the Mongols for more than ten years, which is extremely exciting!
Although those lords and factions in the court impeached Yang Jing all day long, saying that he was reckless in military force, lightly started wars, provoked and annoyed the Mongols, and would bring military disasters to the Great Song Dynasty, but the common people had a sign of universal celebration!
Dong Huai and others naturally wanted to support Yang Jing, in fact, although he was the privy envoy and right prime minister in charge of military and political affairs, Yang Jing's military action was indeed too reckless and inconsiderate, but in the end it was successful.
The Great Song Dynasty inherited the teachings of the saints, and the assassination of the enemy was to be instructed and attacked by the scholars, and only the barbarians would be so unscrupulous.
But these scholars kept saying that they should not assassinate and that they should face each other in a fair and bright manner, but the problem is that they are all masters and factions, where did the head-to-head confrontation come from?
In any case, as Yang Jing said and guessed, the court set off a war of lips and tongues, scolding each other every day, making a lot of trouble, and Zhao Yun also had a headache.
He has great trust in Yang Jing, after all, even the princess of Ruiguo wants to marry Yang Jing, which shows his favor for Yang Jing.
Under the influence of Yang Jing, he did regain his confidence and did not want to watch the Great Song Dynasty continue to fall under the iron hooves and swords of the Mongols.
But objectively speaking, Yang Jing did something wrong in this matter, Zhao Yun also knew that the Mongols had a very big plan, unlike the Liao and Jin people, who could use the New Year's coins and border trade fields to fight, although the Mongols were also rare in the copper money and wealth of the Great Song Dynasty, but they were more eager for the territory of the Great Song Dynasty!
Since he was able to form the Divine Fire Battalion, reuse Yang Jing's people to research, and be able to let Yang Jing patrol the border, it was enough to show that he had reinvigorated his ambitions.
The reason why he thinks that Yang Jing is not proper is not because he assassinated Ali Buge, but because it led to infighting in the imperial court!
There are so many dynasties in history, and the one who can make the courtiers point their noses and scold the emperor should be the Song Dynasty except for the Tang Dynasty.
But Tang Taizong humbly accepted advice to future generations, but he was in charge of military politics and was a strong emperor, but the emperor of the Song Dynasty was really cowardly, and it was just a matter of letting the courtiers scold, and sometimes even his own will had to be returned.
Those imperial historians and officials have the authority to hear about things.
What is the situation of this rumor, the so-called rumor is the matter of the officials, even if there is no real evidence, it is just hearsay in the streets and alleys, and if you receive a little rumor, you can also impeach the gossip officials in the court!
The job of the officials is to scold people, that is, to impeach, and they must be scolded every day, and there are fixed indicators every month, and if they do not scold enough, they are incompetent.
From this, it can be imagined how bad the working environment of the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty was.
Song Renzong, who was famous for his benevolence, slept until he was hungry at night and wanted to eat, but he didn't dare to call anyone, and he starved because he was worried that it would set off a trend of extravagance, and he was even more tolerant of officials.
Although there is the Imperial City Department to monitor the people's situation, the social public opinion environment of the Great Song Dynasty is actually quite enlightened.
The harlequin in the tile often pretends to be the powerful in the court, doing some ugly burlesque, for Ding Daquan and Jia Yidao and others, people can also make fun of it, as long as you don't pretend to be the emperor, don't sarcastically mock His Majesty the emperor.
This would be unimaginable even in later generations, just like the Americans, who do not make jokes about imbeciles or people with disabilities or people of color, but always make jokes about politicians such as members of Congress and even presidents.
In the eyes of some people, this is the atmosphere of democracy and freedom in the United States, and it is a symbol of freedom of speech, but in fact, we have it as early as the Song Dynasty, and Lao Mei is just playing with what we have left.
The reason why I said this is to show that Zhao Yun's life is actually not easy, if he can implement his own policies at will without the slightest constraint, he will definitely support Yang Jing 100%.
But this is not the case, the emperor of the feudal society seems to be able to call the shots of everything, but the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty may not be able to do it, especially in many major events, it is even more obstructive.
This is also for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang simply dismissed the prime minister and canceled the prime minister system that had lasted for thousands of years in Chinese history.
The assassination of Ali Buge has not been enough, and there is troublesome news from the Anfeng army, they actually crossed the Huai River, ransacked Caizhou, and arrested King Hakeman!
Although the news has been blocked in the court, but within three or five days, the royal street will be crowded, and the teahouse and Wazi Restaurant are all celebrating the news, and some people even say that Yang Jing is a god-given general, so simply let Yang Jing lead the troops and drive all the Mongolian barbarians back to the north, and the recovery of Bianliang is just around the corner!
These officials were still arguing about how to deal with Yang Jing, and Zhao Yun also wanted to try his best to protect Yang Jing, but he didn't expect that at this juncture, he ransacked Caizhou and arrested another Mongolian king!
The good news should be happy, but these two good news make people feel extremely heavy, not because the timing of the good news is wrong, but because the mentality of the court officials is different.
Dong Huai, Xu Fo and others knew very well that Yang Jing was Zhao Yun's cronies, and Yang Jing's doing this was tantamount to pushing Zhao Yun to the side of the main battle faction, making him resolutely stand on the side of the main battle faction, and there would be no way out!
The most taboo of this person is to sway from side to side, indecisive, even more so as the king of a country, Zhao Yun has always had an attitude towards the main battle or the main peace, sometimes he resolutely fights the main battle, and sometimes he has to do everything possible to negotiate peace, in the final analysis, the emperor's perspective on the problem is different from everyone else, and he must take into account the overall situation and weigh the pros and cons.
And Yang Jing asked Zhao Yun to resolutely fight the main battle and not consider a way out, which is difficult for a king to do.
Many emperors in history, even if they dragged on until the last moment, even if they retreated again and again, or even retreated overseas, they had to maintain the title of emperor immortally, and some such as Liu Chan and the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, even if they fell into the hands of the enemy, still wanted to dream of being an emperor.
If you want to gamble on the entire empire to do something, and it is an uncertain thing, unless Zhao Yun is crazy, he will not agree with Yang Jing's approach.
This also exposes Yang Jing's shortcomings in politics, he pays too much attention to personal friendship, but politics is about interests, and personal emotions are simply a dispensable joke in politics.
Yang Jing is indeed not good at politics, even if he is far away from the court, he cannot avoid the whirlpool of this struggle.
Zhao Yun did not reward An Fengjun and Yang Jing for these two incidents, but issued a holy decree to deprive Yang Jing of the title of inspection and observation envoy of the two Huai Road, and let Yang Jing return to Beijing without delay!
At this time, it is less than a year before Yang Jing took office, if he changes to another politically mature official, maybe he will slowly rectify it, but Yang Jing is resolute and resolute, cooking oil in a blazing fire, and it is two big things that are pressed down as soon as it comes up, it is really like that fireworks, although it is gorgeous, but it is only a flash in the pan, leaving only evocative but infinite sighs and regrets.
Yang Jing was reluctant to go back in every way, because he had stabbed a big basket, and the Mongols wanted to retaliate, but they wanted to retaliate against An Fengjun's head, which was tantamount to letting Li Tingzhi and Du Shu bear the anger of the Mongols for himself, which he was unwilling!
But he can't disobey Zhao Yun's holy decree, and the matter of Yale Taryn has not been resolved, so it is impossible for Yang Jing to go back!
But Zhao Yun seemed to expect that Yang Jing would not go back, so he actually sent the guard Ma Jun Du Yuhou, with the forbidden army and eunuchs, to An Fengjun to escort Yang Jing, nominally an escort, but in fact it is tantamount to escort, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it!
Yang Jing was reuniting with Ge Changgeng and Dong Shangzhi and others after a long absence, and was planning to follow Ge Changgeng to meet someone, so naturally he didn't know this.
Although Zong Yun was not there, Ge Changgeng and Dong Shangzhi were by his side, with these two grandmasters as his staff officers, plus Li Tingzhi and Du Shu and other companions who were familiar with the rules of officialdom, Yang Jing didn't believe that he couldn't find a way to stay!
Li Tingzhi and Du Shu also sweated for Yang Jing, King Hakman was still detained in Anfengjun, but the intelligence was sent to the capital urgently, and the capital was not slow, and now I heard that the guards and horses have been on the way, and Xiaoyue will be able to arrive at Anfengjun, and when the time comes, Yang Jing will be taken back!
But the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuchs are in a hurry, Li Tingzhi and Du Shu are afraid of Yang Jing, but Yang Jing and Ge Changgeng and Dong Shangzhi went out of the city in an ox cart!
Yang Jing wanted to ride a horse, but Ge Changgeng was too old to stand the bumps, so Yang Jing had no choice but to choose an ox cart and come out to bask in the sun and relax.
Thinking of the person he was about to meet, Yang Jing was also a little excited in his heart, and of course, a little uneasy.
Because he really didn't understand why Sun Erniang and Yang Ainan didn't follow Ge Changgeng and Dong Shangzhi.
Sun Erniang got that strange disease because of what she did in Yue Dongyi earlier, and she continued to use Gu worms and spiritual confusion to devour and remove the virus in her body, Yuan Weidao and other people who were also infected with the disease were already dead, but she was still alive.
But Yang Jing could vaguely perceive that she didn't follow Ge Changgeng and Dong Shangzhi, maybe because of this illness!
Just after thinking about it, Yang Jing was a little relieved again, Sun Erniang must not have any big problems, otherwise how could Ge Changgeng rest assured to let Yang Ainan stay by Sun Erniang's side?
However, when Yang Jing came to this small village on the bank of the river and saw Sun Erniang, who had lived in seclusion in the village a few days earlier, his mood instantly became heavy.
