Chapter 224: Zhao Ji Zen Position (Ask for a monthly ticket!) )

Li Cun wants to unload the mill and kill the donkey?

Li Cun did not admit it.

Chang Shengjun has not worked for Li Cun.

Li Cun just took advantage of the disloyalty of the Changsheng army to solve the huge trouble of the Changsheng army and seize several dangerous checkpoints in the northern Hebei region controlled by the Changsheng army.

All right.

Li Cun actually knew that he had ruined his character by treating Chang Shengjun like this, and if someone came to vote for him in the future, he would definitely have more concerns.

But even if Li Cun knew this clearly, Li Cun had to do so.

No way.

Who made the power of the Chang Shengjun too strong, so strong that Li Cundu was afraid of it.

Forty or fifty thousand cavalry, plus more than 100,000 township troops controlled by the victorious army.

This is a huge army that can turn the fate of both countries.

The point is that the Changsheng army has a tradition of mutiny, and it is not reliable at all.

Therefore, if this Chang Shengjun is not dealt with well, then it will definitely become a big problem for Li Cun.

Li Cun is not Zhao Ji, and it is impossible for him to keep the henchmen of the Chang Shengjun to threaten his rule.

In fact, from the moment Guo Yaoshi submitted the surrender table to Li Cun, the fate of the Chang Shengjun was already doomed.

The unarmed Changsheng army was easily controlled by tens of thousands of horses led by Zhao Li.

Soon, Song Jiang and Wu Yong held a public trial of Chang Shengjun in Xiongzhou City.

Subsequently, Song Jiang and Wu Yong will also try the Chang Shengjun in Bazhou, Cangzhou, Mozhou, Xin'an Army, Baoding Army, Ansu Army, and Shun'an Army, making this matter known to everyone, and exchanging the heads of the Chang Shengjun soldiers for the hearts of the people in northern Hebei.

There is such a thing as a public trial, not to mention that you are guilty, you will definitely die, even if your character is a little bad, it will be difficult to survive.

What's more, in the past few years, the Changsheng army has relied on the Zhao and Song Dynasty courts, and from Zhao Ji downwards, they are all accustomed to the Changsheng army, and even coax the Changsheng army, arrogant, clever, and bully, and there have been countless bullying incidents, so the people in its jurisdiction are not happy.

What is even more tragic is that many powerful people have become beggars because they have been exploited and robbed by the victorious army, and they have suffered humiliation everywhere, and even innocently killed by the victorious army, and have no way to complain.

The key is that last time, Chang Shengjun thought that if they voted for the Daqian Dynasty, they could wantonly burn and loot the Song people, and then caused tens of thousands of burning, killing and looting overnight, and even the female cadre Yin was kidnapped, making the people in northern Hebei hate the soldiers of Chang Sheng's army.

Who would have thought that Li Cun would give the people in northern Hebei a chance to take revenge so quickly, and even arrested all the more than 43,000 Changsheng troops for public trial.

The people in northern Hebei who were persecuted by Chang Shengjun didn't take the opportunity to take revenge for their grievances?

And who are Song Jiang and Wu Yong, they are the white gloves used by Li Cun, and they know too well what it means for Li Cun to let them be in charge of the public trial.

Therefore, because Pharmacist Guo did not participate in the robbery last time, and because Pharmacist Guo was also put on the public trial stage, it seemed that Li Cun's appearance was too ugly, and the public trial began with Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren.

Song Jiang and Wu Yong also erected two large banners written by Li Cun on both sides of the public trial platform: ....one side reads: Good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil;

On the other hand, it is not that it is not reported, the time has not yet come.

As soon as Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren were put on the public trial table, countless people who had been persecuted by Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren cried and shouted and begged Song Jiang and Wu Yong to help them take revenge.

Song Jiang walked to the edge of the public trial platform and clenched his fists: "My Majesty the Emperor Daqian has always loved the people like a son, and will never let Your Majesty's good people be humiliated, but please rest assured, Your Majesty has issued a strict order, all the officers and soldiers of the victorious army, no matter who they are, as long as one of you thinks they are guilty, they will be killed, and all of them will be promoted and paid."

As soon as Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren heard that Song Jiang was going to move seriously, they shouted that Song Jiang was going to make a statement, they wanted to see Li Cun, and they had made meritorious contributions to the great cadres.

But Song Jiang didn't even raise his eyelids, so he cut off Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren.

Seeing that the Daqian Dynasty really helped them avenge them, and even Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren, the No. 2 and No. 3 people in the ever-victorious army, said that they would cut them, so what else did the people have to restrain themselves.

Kill Kill ......

Kill Kill ......

Kill Kill ......

Under the red-eyed shouts of the people, if a soldier of the victorious army goes up, he will cut down one; Go up to two soldiers of the victorious army, and cut a pair; A hundred soldiers of the victorious army may not be able to get down even one......

Seeing this scene, Pharmacist Guo's intestines were all repentant!

knew that Li Cun was so ruthless, and Guo Yaoshi was determined to lead the Changsheng army to fight to the end with the Daqian Dynasty, and he would not do such a stupid thing of losing his name and life.

Now Pharmacist Guo looks back and thinks about how Zhao Ji treated him:

In just a few years, he made Guo Yaoshi achieve the limit of the military attache of the Zhao and Song Dynasty - Taiwei, gave him Guo Yaoshi's mansion in Bianliang City, Tokyo, hundreds of beauties, and a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and allowed him Guo Yaoshi and Chang Shengjun to continue to wear Hu clothes, and in just a few years, he expanded the Chang Shengjun army in the hands of Guo Yaoshi from 8,000 to 50,000, and also let Guo Yaoshi manage all the township troops in the north of Hebei, making him Guo Yaoshi a pivotal figure in the military of the Zhao and Song Dynasty. Moreover, he Guo Yaoshi is also expected to become the commander of the army of the Zhao and Song Dynasty.

O heaven!

Look at Li Cun again.

came up and slaughtered the Chang Shengjun, making it clear that he wanted to cut off his reliance on Guo Yaoshi.

Moreover, that is, he, Pharmacist Guo, did not personally lead people to participate in burning, killing and looting like Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren did last time, otherwise he, Pharmacist Guo, would definitely go to this guillotine.

Guo Yaoshi knew that although he was lucky enough to temporarily pick up his life, just looking at Li Cun's attitude towards Chang Shengjun, he knew that he would definitely not have a good time in the future.

If life can be repeated, Guo Yaoshi will definitely choose to be an iron-clad loyal minister, and he will definitely fight for the Zhao Song Dynasty and help the Zhao Song Dynasty resist the invasion of the Great Qian Dynasty.

It's a pity that there are no ifs in this world.

Song Jiang and Wu Yong don't mention how ruthless they are.

All the soldiers of the Changsheng Army that the people wanted to kill, Song Jiang and Wu Yong killed them all without exception.

Those soldiers of the victorious army who can be killed or not, Song Jiang and Wu Yong all chose to kill without exception.

In the end, the heads were rolling, the blood was flowing like a river, not to mention, hundreds of executioners, all the knives were cut to the edge. As a result, the 43,000 victorious army was killed by Song Jiang and Wu Yong, and less than 1,000 remained.

The remaining soldiers of the less than 1,000 victorious armies dare not say that they are all saints, but they are definitely all good people, and they have not committed any crimes, otherwise they would not have walked down from the public trial platform presided over by Song Jiang and Wu Yong.

I want to ask if any of these Changsheng Army soldiers who were killed by Song Jiang and Wu Yong and the people in northern Hebei were unjustly killed?

To tell you the truth, there must be sins that do not lead to death.

However, Song Jiang and Wu used the tens of millions of property, gold, silver, and jewelry, as well as thousands of prostitutes seized from the corpses and barracks of these victorious soldiers, and most of them died unjustly.

- If they hadn't done so much evil, how could they have amassed so much money? Get so many women?

Faced with the result that the victorious army was almost killed, everyone knew that the victorious army had completely become history, and there would never be a victorious army again.

Those people who were bullied by the victorious army all sang praises to Li Cun.

What made the people in northern Hebei even more praise Li Cun was that Li Cun then transferred 3 million stone of grain from Yandi to help the victims in northern Hebei, and at the same time confiscated the fields of the gentry and nobles in northern Hebei and distributed them to the people in northern Hebei in the form of work-for-relief.

It should be noted that those wealthy and noble gentry in northern Hebei were all sent to the public trial table by Song Jiang and Wu Yong.

In addition, in view of the fact that there are still more than 100,000 township troops in northern Hebei, and if they are not properly handled, it will also be a major trouble, Li Cun deliberately carried out a recruitment in northern Hebei, recruiting 50,000 brave soldiers, first as people's husbands, and then as a supplementary force for the regular army.

After Li Cun's combination punch, the northern region of Hebei was completely recovered by Li Cun.

At this time, Li Cuncai led his troops to continue south......

Actually-

As early as October, when Li Cungang returned to Yanjing, Zhan Du, the prefect of Zhongshan Prefecture, who had been paying attention to the changes in the situation in the Yanyun area, repeatedly alerted the Zhao and Song courts, saying that the Daqian Dynasty had signs of an invasion from the south, and reminded Zhao Ji and his ministers to hurry up and prepare to meet the enemy.

But Zhan Du's efforts were all in vain, and Zhao Jijunchen did not pay due attention to Zhan Du's reminder at all.

In fact, Cai Jing also secretly played to the Zhao and Song courts many times, saying that the Great Qian Dynasty had signs of attacking the Song Dynasty in the south, and he also used silver medal horses to urgently report to the Zhao and Song courts, and Cai Jing also informed the key passes to be prepared to prevent the cadres from moving south.

However, Cai You, who was in charge of the Privy Council, thought that it was just a local conflict on the border after receiving these urgent reports, and he felt that it was too late to deal with them after the suburban ceremony was held, so he hid all these reports and did not report them, causing Zhao Ji to not know that the Daqian Dynasty had already destroyed the Song Dynasty.

The so-called suburban ceremony, in fact, is the emperor of the Zhao and Song Dynasty to worship heaven and earth, which is a symbol of the emperor's status and a sign of the legitimacy of the emperor's power.

Worshipping the sky on the winter solstice is an activity that has been valued by successive rulers and is a national ceremony.

The ritual of worshiping the heavens in the Zhao and Song dynasties was mainly manifested in the "three-year-old one-parent suburb system", that is, once every three years, on the day of the winter solstice, in the southern suburbs of Tokyo, the emperor personally presided over the sacrifice to Haotian. This is not only different from the ritual of the Western Zhou Dynasty when the emperor personally held the sacrifice to the heavens every year, but also different from the fact that the descendants have a priest and a regent to worship the heavens.

The "three-year-old one-parent suburb system" is said to have originated with Qin Shi Huang, but it does not seem to have been really implemented before the Zhao and Song dynasties.

The "three-year-old one-parent suburb system" of the Zhao and Song dynasties actually began during the Song Renzong period, and has been strictly pursued by the Zhao and Song emperors since then.

Zhao Ji, who likes lively and luxurious, has always attached great importance to holding big gifts, and during his 25-year reign, he personally presided over as many as 18 big ceremonies, including the Southern Suburbs Ceremony and the Mingtang Ceremony.

The ceremonies of worshipping the heavens are very solemn and cumbersome, and often require a long time to prepare.

During this period, the customs newspapers from the north poured into the Privy Council like snowflakes.

Cai You believed that if these customs reports were played at this time, it would not only destroy the festive atmosphere of the suburbs, but also destroy the sacrifices of the Zhao and Song dynasties, which would have an adverse impact on the rule of the Zhao and Song dynasties, so Cai You concealed all these customs reports and did not report them.

Moreover, Cai You not only did not report these reports to Zhao Ji, but also did not even tell Prime Minister Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan.

Actually-

The reason why Cai You is so bold is mainly because Cai You feels that Tong Guan is personally in charge in the Hedong region, and there is a strong and victorious army in the Hebei region, even if the Daqian Dynasty really invades the Zhao and Song Dynasty, it will not hit Tokyo Bianliang City in a short time, no matter how urgent it is, it is not bad for the suburban ceremony these days, and it cannot destroy Zhao Ji's good mood and the suburban ceremony that Zhao Ji attaches special importance to.

But then, the customs report became more and more urgent day by day, and it became more and more day by day.

Finally, Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan also heard the rumors.

Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan hurriedly found Cai You and asked about the matter.

Cai You couldn't hide it, so he told Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan the truth.

When Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan learned of this, they were worried that if these customs reports were made public, they would cause panic among the people in Bianliang City, Tokyo.

So, Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan worked with Cai You to suppress these reports and did not report them to Zhao Ji.

During this time, Cai You, Bai Shizhong, and Li Bangyan would go to the capital every day to secretly discuss how to deal with the invasion of the Great Qian Dynasty, and they would discuss it late every day.

But how could these three guys, who knew nothing but how to shoot horses, come up with a solution to such a big matter?

Therefore, Cai You, Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan are just wasting the precious time of the Zhao and Song dynasties in vain.

It was dragged until Tong Guan ran back to Tokyo Bianliang City from Taiyuan

, the Daqian Dynasty has already gone south to attack the Song Dynasty, and it has only spread in Bianliang City, Tokyo.

And until this time, Zhao Ji was still kept in the dark.

Zhao Ji made an exception to make Tong Guan, a eunuch, the king, the purpose of which was to let Tong Guan sit in Hedong and Hebei, and help the Zhao Song Dynasty block the southward movement of the Daqian Dynasty.

But Tong Guan didn't fight a battle, so he threw away the battle on the front line and ran back to Bianliang City, Tokyo.

In terms of behavior, Tong Guan has not only failed Zhao Ji's high hopes and trust, but also constituted a serious dereliction of duty. c

However, what is amazing is that Cai You, Bai Shizhong, Li Bangyan and other rulers of the Zhao and Song dynasties not only did not pursue Tong Guan's dereliction of duty, but also invited Tong Guan to the capital to discuss how to deal with the invasion of the Daqian Dynasty. In the final analysis, it was Zhao Ji who personally appointed Cai You, Bai Shizhong, Li Bangyan and other rulers of the Zhao and Song dynasties who were too incompetent, and in the face of the "sudden" invasion of the Daqian Dynasty, they were really at a loss, and they had no way to deal with it, so they could only pin their hopes on Tong Guan, a man who had commanded the army all his life.

The day after Tong Guan returned to Bianliang City, Tokyo, the envoys Wang Jieru and Xiao Rong sent by Li Cun also came to Bianliang City, Tokyo.

After Wang Jieru and Xiao Rong arrived at Bianliang City in Tokyo, they asked to meet Zhao Ji and submit a war letter.

But none of the ministers dared to introduce Wang Jieru and Xiao Rong to Zhao Ji.

Later, Zhao Ji didn't know where he heard that the Daqian Dynasty sent envoys to the Zhao Song Dynasty, and ordered Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan to receive Wang Jieru and Xiao Rong with envoy courtesy.

After the meeting, Wang Jieru said: "Last year, your family and the Jin State jointly attacked our Daqian Yanyun area, my emperor was merciful, and asked your family to cede Hedong and Hebei to my family, and the two families took the big river as the boundary, and then compensated my family with 10 million gold ingots, 20 million silver ingots, and 10 million silk horses, and then forgave your family for the great sins, but your family has never had the attitude to solve the problem.

Bai Shizhong, Li Bangyan, Cai You and other ministers of the Zhao and Song dynasties, after listening to Wang Jieru's words, they were all shocked and did not dare to speak.

Bai Shizhong cautiously asked, "How can I delay the teacher?"

Xiao Rong replied, "The compensation for the land is called the minister's ear."

Bai Shizhong, Li Bangyan, Cai You and other ministers of the Zhao and Song dynasties were all frightened when they heard Xiao Rong's relays, and they didn't dare to reply.

Bai Shizhong, Li Bangyan, Cai You and other ministers of the Zhao and Song dynasties discussed for a long time in the capital, and finally gave Wang Jieru and Xiao Rong a lot of gifts, asking Wang Jieru and Xiao Rong to go back first, and after they discussed what to do, they sent an envoy to meet Li Cun in person.

A few days later, the ceremony was finally held.

At the same time, the Privy Council received an urgent message from Zhang Xiaochun, asking the imperial court to send an army to rescue Taiyuan City.

At this time, Bai Shizhong, Li Bangyan, Cai You and other ministers of the Zhao and Song Dynasty still wanted to hide Zhao Ji and not report the war on the front.

But immediately after, Zhan Du's 800 miles were sent to Bianliang City, Tokyo.

Zhan Du said in the recital: "The great cadres have parted ways and joined the Kou, and the Changsheng army has been surrendered from Guo Yaoshi down."

On this day, Zhan Du sent three 800-mile expries in a row, indicating the emergency situation on the front line.

Bai Shizhong, Li Bangyan, Cai You and other ministers of the Zhao Song Dynasty realized the seriousness of the problem and knew that they could no longer hide it from Zhao Ji, and finally they passed the buck to each other and asked Tong Guan and Cai You to report the matter to Zhao Ji.

But Tong Guan and Cai You reported it to Zhao Ji but reported it to Zhao Ji, but they didn't dare to tell the truth, that is, they didn't dare to tell Zhao Ji that Guo Yaoshi had led the Changsheng army to surrender, because it was precisely because Tong Guan and Cai You advocated the reuse of Guo Yaoshi, Tong Guan and Cai You were afraid that Zhao Ji would hold them accountable for this.

Tong Guan and Cai You said to Zhao Ji, "Li Thief has personally led his army south, and Chang Sheng's army is surrounded by the thief army, and the front line is in an emergency."

Zhao Ji was frightened and panicked when he heard this. After reacting, Zhao Ji hurriedly summoned a group of rulers of the Zhao Song Dynasty and asked them to discuss countermeasures, and said that it really couldn't be done, so he ordered to appoint Guo Yaoshi as the envoy of the Yongqing Army and the king of Ji; Zhang Linghui was crowned the king of the county and cut Hebei to Guo Yaoshi

, Zhang Linghui and other generals of the victorious army, let them guard for generations.

Then, Zhao Ji urgently issued an edict, asking the civil and military officials of the Zhao and Song dynasties to write to Chen Xian and find a way to solve the invasion of the Daqian Dynasty.

Since Zhao Ji discovered the secret of Wang Hao and Liang Shicheng, Liang Shicheng has been snubbed by Zhao Ji.

But Liang Shicheng has a difference from Wang Huang, who wants to abolish the crown prince Zhao Huan, that is, Liang Shicheng has always bet on Zhao Huan's body, protected Zhao Huan everywhere, and saved Zhao Huan from danger several times.

Zhao Ji thought of this, but just snubbed Liang Shicheng, and did not let Liang Shicheng get off the horse.

Now, the situation has collapsed to this point, and Zhao Ji, who really doesn't know what to do, called Liang Shicheng and said, "Since the beginning of the Northern Incident, everyone else has misunderstood, and the Dutai Fu can't join forces to attack the dry, and now at this point, can the Taifu teach me?"

Liang Shicheng heard the words and asked Zhao Ji to come over with his ears.

Zhao Jiyi.

Liang Shicheng whispered in Zhao Ji's ear: "Now the Li thief uses the crime of hanging the people as an excuse to send troops, and the official family is not as good as the Zen prince, so that the Li thief has no excuse to invade the south, and this matter may be solved."

Of course, Zhao Ji couldn't listen to Liang Shicheng's words.

But Liang Shicheng's words provided Zhao Ji with an idea.

A few days later, Zhao Ji heard that Li Cun had personally led the army through Gaoyang.

Zhao Ji hurriedly issued an edict appointing the crown prince Zhao Huan as the pastor of Kaifeng.

Kaifeng Mu was not often placed in the Zhao and Song dynasties.

- Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi and Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng both became Kaifeng Mu first, and then became emperors.

Zhao Ji asked Zhao Huan to be the Kaifeng pastor at this time, the purpose was actually to let Zhao Huan stay in Bianliang City, Tokyo to resist the invasion of the cadre army, and Zhao Ji actually had the idea of fleeing to Chang'an at this time.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Ji summoned Zhao Huan and gave Zhao Huan a jade belt.

According to the etiquette regulations of the Zhao and Song dynasties, the Pai Fang jade belt could only be used by the emperor.

Zhao Ji gave Zhao Heng a jade belt at this time, in fact, to show the minister that Zhao Huan could give orders as the emperor during his stay in Bianliang City, Tokyo.

After that, Zhao Ji gave Zhao Heng two palace concubines, namely the talented Zheng Qingyun and his wife Zheng Keygong.

——These two daughters are both relatives of Empress Zheng.

At the beginning, when Zhao Ji ascended the throne, the Queen Mother Xiang gave it to two maids.

Zhao Ji is acting like the Queen Mother.

Of course, this is also Zhao Ji's heart to appease Zhao Huan, so that Zhao Huan can resist the invasion of the cadres in Bianliang City, Tokyo.

Zhao Ji was even hinting at Zhao Huan: "My good son, if you behave well enough, I will pass on the throne to you."
