Chapter 460: Something Wrong

On the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, when I got up early in the morning, the mansion was filled with a festive atmosphere, the lanterns and the Spring Festival were ready-made, and Liu Sheng presided over it, so that nothing went wrong. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Shen Ao got up, first went to pay homage to Tang Yan and Chen Ji, and then began to enter the palace.

The dress of the Great Song Dynasty is the most cumbersome, especially the edict, with three layers inside and three layers outside, that is, the crown and the phoenix hairpin have strict regulations.

Fortunately, Tang Yan jumped out at the right time at this time and supervised on the side, but he was not afraid of falling behind.

After bathing and dressing, it was time to wait for the will, at noon invited Chen Ji to drink, the three masters and apprentices drank a few cups, Mrs. Tang and Zhen Zhen they tasted and then retreated to the back room to rest, the three of them had a stomach, it is inevitable that there will be some discussions. Tang Yan suddenly asked about the Martial Arts Academy, in fact, Tang Yan had not asked about the Martial Arts Academy since it was prepared to the present, and at this time, he suddenly asked, which made Shen Ao a little surprised, so he said his main purpose.

Tang Yan Shen said: "I thought you were trying to mess around, but I didn't expect you to do it, but the literati Congrong, is he a scholar or a martial artist?" ”

Chen Ji is quite appreciative of the martial arts academy, he occasionally goes a few times, mostly at night to supervise the school captain's homework, raised his glass and took a sip of wine, said: "The way of civil and military affairs, different paths to the same end, as long as it is beneficial to the country and the people, why care about civil and military?" ”

Tang Yan laughed and said, "But I can't see it, and I'll be punished with a glass of wine." He drank a glass of wine and smacked his lips.

After noon, someone in the palace finally came to pick him up, it was Yang Jian who came in person, he was wearing a red dress, and he entered the house with a familiar car, and when he saw Tang Yan and Chen Ji, he also smiled, and said: "It turns out that the two of them are also there, haha, the miscellaneous family is polite." ”

Tang Yan and Chen Ji hurriedly returned the salute, and exchanged a few polite words with Yang Jian, Yang Jian said: "The miscellaneous family took Shen Ao and Zhen Zhen into the palace this time, two, the palace is still waiting, so don't bother." As he spoke, he went to the back garden to see Zhen Zhen, and saw Zhen Zhen wearing a decree dress, and was amazed, saying that she was more dignified than the concubines in the palace.

Yang Jian praised this, and Shen Ao said on the side: "Actually, Mo'er and Ruo'er are also very dignified. ”

Yang Jian is the most slick person, and after listening to Shen Ao's words, he immediately said: "Yes, yes, the miscellaneous family is patronizing to see Zhen Zhen." ”

After that, he took the four of them out of the house, got into the carriage in the palace directly, and went straight into the palace.

When they got off at Zhengde Gate, Zhen Zhen and the others, as female dependents, were led to the harem to sit at the Queen Mother's place, and Shen Ao was called to Wenjing Pavilion to talk to the emperor first.

Zhao Ji was in a very bad mood today, Yin had a calm face, and when Shen Ao went in, he found that Cai Jing, the military department Shangshu and others were all there, standing in fear one by one, and they didn't dare to come out.

If it is usual, it is a common thing to give Cai Jing a seat, Zhao Ji is sympathetic to his old age, so he has always been very kind to him, but today's atmosphere is different, as if something big has happened.

Zhao Ji sat on the dragon chair with his eyes closed, and Shen Ao came in, he just opened his eyes for a line, and then continued to be silent.

Shen Ao obediently stood aside and waited, Zhao Ji gently tapped the imperial case with his knuckles, and on the imperial case was a bright red note, which was very bright.

There are three kinds of music in the Great Song Dynasty, one is the ordinary music, most of which are based on green sè, and the other is the impeachment of the song, which is based on a black background. Only when a major event occurs, such as an emergency report in a border town or an emergency report on a disaster situation, will a red background be used, and after this kind of performance is received, the three provinces cannot be specialized, and they will be reported directly to the palace.

In other words, when Cai Jing was in charge of the three provinces in the past, there was Liang Shicheng to echo it, so even if it was a big red song, he dared to keep it, saving His Majesty from 'worrying', but now it is different from the past, there is a quartz in Zhongshu Province, there is a Shen Ao in the outer court, and there is a Yang Jian in the palace, this kind of thing can't be hidden, so it was sent as soon as possible, so it was saved and people grabbed the handle.

Shen Ao knew in his heart that it should be a border town or something wrong, this matter is not small, and seeing that the military department is still in the book, he can almost conclude that it should be a military matter.

The military is the most troublesome, but in Shen Ao's opinion, what he is most afraid of at the moment is that the Jin people are going south, but if something goes wrong on the Liao side, Shen Ao should be the first to receive the news, and he secretly wonders in his heart: "Could it be that something happened to the border town?" ”

Cai Jing bowed his waist and said slowly: "Your Majesty...... Things have come to this point, it is futile to investigate, or to find a way to deal with the aftermath, this is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the old minister will not be able to escape the blame for such a thing......"

"You don't have to blame yourself." Zhao Ji closed his eyes and thought deeply, and said slowly: "If you want to blame, blame me for not knowing people clearly, you are right, it is time to deal with the aftermath, but how to deal with the aftermath must also have a charter, the court must have two hands, one is to caress and the other is to suppress, first send a messenger to see what they say, and at the same time, the military department must also be completely prepared." ”

Shang Shuban of the Ministry of War said sarcastically: "Is it time to transfer the border army, there is an Amway army on the side of Gyeonggi North Road, and there are still 10,000 elite cavalry on the side of the small Xianggong that can be called." ”

Zhao Ji said coldly: "I can't move, now the border affairs are restless, we must take precautions, a bandit will pump the border army, be careful that the Xixia people can take advantage of it." I transferred the forbidden army and sent Gao Yu to go, Gao Yu has been a little slack off in the past few years, so I gave him a chance. ”

Zhao Ji thought for a while, and said: "Before the soldiers and horses move, the matter of appeasement is still the top priority, what is the main person in charge of the Ministry of Rites called Wu?" ”

The Shang Shuban of the Ministry of War was dumbfounded, interlaced like a mountain, and he also knew some people from the Ministry of Rites, but he really didn't have much impression of the receptionist, and when he heard Zhao Ji ask, he said, "Yes...... It's ......"

Shen Ao said on the side: "His name is Wu Wencai, and he is also a capable person." ”

Ban Wei raised his eyes, glanced at Shen Ao with emotion, and said: "Yes, it's him, this person Weichen has also heard a little, but he usually has no friendship, and it is difficult to remember it for a while." ”

Zhao Ji glared at Shen Ao, and then said slowly: "Order him to be a messenger, grant the envoy of the North Gyeonggi Road, and make it clear to him that as long as the other side is willing to accept Zhao'an, anything can be discussed, but if it is stubborn, then the army will have to be surrounded and suppressed on all sides." Cai Aiqing, the province of Menxia must also be completely prepared, prepare an edict to go, if there is anything, enter the palace at any time to report, this year, I am even more unhappy. ”

Then, Zhao Ji waved his hand and said, "Let's go down." ”

Cai Jing and Ban Wei saluted and withdrew.

Zhao Ji sighed and said to Shen Ao: "Come, come and sit beside me." ”

Shen Ao approached and sat down on Zhao Ji's case, Zhao Ji said, "Look for yourself and see what you have to say." ”

Shen Ao picked up the note on the imperial case, and it was really a rebellion, saying that Gyeonggi North Road pacified Xu Shenfu and pulled the flag to rebel, but he actually gathered tens of thousands of people, entrenched in Gyeonggi North Road, proclaimed himself Emperor Tianyi, changed the first year of the Yuan Shenzhu, set up a hundred officials, and issued a false edict to present Zhao Ji's eight major crimes, claiming to overthrow the Great Song Dynasty for Tianxingdao.

Shen Ao was dumbfounded, a pacification envoy actually reversed, and it was just the opposite, after all, the governor of the road was nominally a pacification envoy, but the torture envoy and the transfer envoy actually followed the opposite, these two people were confused, even the local Xiang army actually followed them to mess around, and many prefectures and counties were also like this, overnight, the entire Gyeonggi North Road became a thief, a few days ago, they were still court officials and good citizens, how can they say that they are reversed?

The official system of the Great Song Dynasty adopted a policy of strong cadres and weak branches, both the power monopolized the central government, and officials from all walks of life hindered each other, this one was in charge of prisons, that one was in charge of government affairs, and the other was in charge of river transportation, which can be described as a clear twist and turn, and it was impossible to pacify and rebel, but on the contrary, such a strange thing actually happened, Xu Shenfu ate lard and was blinded, and the entire Gyeonggi West Road was actually soaked in water.

"Your Majesty......" Shen Ao put down the song, looking like he wanted to say something and stopped.

Zhao Ji's face was difficult to see, and he said dejectedly: "It's my fault, everything is my own fault." ”

A marginal sentence made Shen Ao even more puzzled, what kind of person is this Xu Shenfu, who actually has such great ability.

Zhao Ji saw the confusion on Shen Ao's face, and said with a wry smile: "This person used to be a feather guest of Kinmen, and later I sealed him off on Gyeonggi North Road, but I didn't expect it to cause such a catastrophe." In the past few years, he set up the Tianyi Sect on Gyeonggi North Road, but he didn't even know how to investigate, and he couldn't imagine that in just a few years, his Tianyi Sect would have such a big momentum. ”

Shen Ao suddenly realized that the so-called Golden Gate Yuke was a Taoist priest, Zhao Ji had advocated Taoism before, and no one dared to stop the Taoist priest from entering and leaving the palace, so he was known as the "Golden Gate Yuke". These people, represented by Cai You, also made a noise, and many of them were awarded official positions and became feudal officials.

It was only later that Shen Ao exposed the trick of the living immortals and designed to kill Cai You's political future, and these Taoist priests were also frightened, for fear that His Majesty would liquidate, so they began to seek a way to protect themselves. The Taoist priest named Liu Shenfu was not only a pacifier, but also recruited believers on Gyeonggi North Road in his early years, he was not only the supreme governor of Gyeonggi North Road, but also the leader of Tianyi Sect, of course, there were many people who depended, so that most of the officials of Gyeonggi North Road naturally stooped to take refuge, presumably those people did not believe in Tianyi Sect at the beginning, after all, they are all scholars, who believes who is a fool, but since they have invested in the Tianyi Sect, this relationship will not be washed away, and it is inevitable that Xu Shenfu asked them to do some illegal things, with a handle, Xu Shenfu ascended to the top and shouted, They can only be coerced.

Even the officials have been pulled into the water, and those Xiang troops and people are even more confused, Tianyi Sect relies on Xu Shenfu to govern, holds some religious ceremonies, and frantically recruits believers, I am afraid that the people and Xiang troops in various states and counties have become believers in Tianyi Sect.

Just a few years ago, the ministry was ready to clean up Liu Shenfu, in the past, Liu Shenfu was powerful, relying on the holy family, now everyone can see that His Majesty has gradually become less enthusiastic about the things of gods and ghosts, this Liu Shenfu has no political achievements in Gyeonggi North Road, to put it bluntly, this guy is not a person on a boat, everyone worships the Sage Kong, what kind of god he worships, not a system, he has long seen him unpleasant, so the people of the Gongkao Division over there have already said hello to the big people in the court, let the surnamed Liu wash his ass, I don't care about you!

Liu Shenfu saw that he couldn't be an official, and he was afraid of being questioned, so at this time, he was also transverse, and simply raised the anti-flag and made a ruin.

The news was sent to Zhao You here, and it was originally a good Chinese New Year's Eve, which was completely bad. Gyeonggi North Road is only 100 miles away from Bianjing, and if something happens there, if it is not good, it may spread to Bianjing, causing panic in Gyeonggi.

Zhao Ji raised his eyes, although he deliberately made a calm appearance in front of Cai Jing and Ban Wei, he looked a little helpless at this time: "Shen Ao, if you can't appease him, and you lose the court, what should I do?" ”

Shen Ao thought about it and said without hesitation: "Then ask again." ”

Zhao Ji shook his head: "You don't understand, the stakes here are too big, Gyeonggi North Road is a suburb of Gyeonggi, and it is close to the border town, one negligence is a catastrophe." ”

Shen Ao hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, let's let the border army go to recruit it, as for the forbidden army, it's better to stay in Gyeonggi in case of accidents." ”

Zhao Ji didn't know in his heart, but Shen Ao understood that the forbidden army in Gyeonggi was already rotten, and it was just rotten, the most terrible thing was to eat empty salaries, in the eyes of the emperor, there were at least forty or fifty thousand people in the Ma Military Division in Beijing, and the scale was not small, and it was obviously enough to suppress the thieves, after all, the thief army on Gyeonggi North Road was only a box army, and of course it was not a large number of forbidden army opponents. But how did Zhao Ji know that Ma Junsi could have 20,000 people, it was already good, relying on Gao Yu to take 20,000 people to Gyeonggi North Road, most of them would have an accident.

Once the official army loses, the problem will be even more serious, so Shen Ao means that he would rather let the border army go, the combat effectiveness of the border army is acceptable, and at least there is still the strength to fight.

Zhao Ji thought for a while, shook his head and said: "The border army can't move, and if it moves, it will shake the country's foundation, I have some difficulties, you don't understand." He reluctantly squeezed out a little smile and said: "Don't talk about this in the Chinese New Year's Eve, go, Shu will take you to greet the Empress Dowager first, and you will be honest later, and admit your mistake to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager is also a compassionate person, and will not deal with you as a teenager after all." ”
