…

According to the usual practice, after the new emperor ascends the throne, he must change the yuan.

"Changing the Yuan" is also a sign that a new emperor has officially reigned over the world.

Zhao Huan knew that the matter of changing the yuan was important, so he handed over the matter to Prime Minister Bai Shizhong to handle.

Bai Shizhong, who is not capable enough, has been busy and crazy recently, how can he have time to name the era name himself?

Therefore, Bai Shizhong handed over the matter to Shang Shuyou, Cheng Yu, Wen Cuizhong, and Zhu Shengfei, a Zhongshu houser.

Soon after, Yu Wencuizhong extracted the word "Jingkang" from the two sentences "Rijing Quartet" in the "Book of Songs" and "Yongkang Zhaomin" in the "Book of Songs", and suggested that "Jingkang" should be used as the era name, which contains the meaning of "Jingkang is difficult to be healthy and the world is peaceful".

After deliberation, the name "Jingkang" was approved.

After that, Bai Shizhong asked Zhao Huan with the name "Jingkang".

Zhao Huan felt that the word "Jingkang" was very good, so he officially issued an edict to change the yuan: "Since the first day of the first month of the eighth year of Xuanhe, it can be changed to the first year of Jingkang.

On this day, Zhao Huan was discussing state affairs with the civil and military officials of the Zhao Song Dynasty in the Yanhe Palace, when suddenly a guard broke in and reported: "There are hundreds of Tai students who are waiting for His Majesty to kill the "Five Thieves", and the leading Tai student is named Chen Dong."

Chen Dong is a son of a poor family, but this has not affected his self-motivation, he has a free and easy personality, heroic spirit, and refuses to be subservient.

When Cai Jing and Wang Hao were auxiliary to the government, people were afraid of Cai Jing and Wang Hao's dictatorship and arbitrariness, and did not dare to openly comment on the gains and losses of the government, but Chen Dong did not hide it and often talked loudly.

Therefore, sometimes Chen Dong appeared at certain banquets, and some guests were worried that Chen Dong's nonsense would affect them, so they often avoided the table.

To put it bluntly, Chen Dong is actually mainly in this way to attract attention and then realize his own political ambitions.

Zhao Ji Zen throne, the emperor was replaced by Zhao Huan, Chen Dong thought that this was the opportunity to reverse the corrupt political situation, so he united many students to come to Zhao Huan to write to Zhao Huan:

「…… Today's events, Cai Jing was in chaos, Liang Shicheng was defeated inside, Li Yan was resentful in the northwest, Wang Hao and Tong Guan were resentful in Liao, defeated the alliance of their ancestors, lost the trust of China, created a gap, and made the world as dangerous as a thread. I hope that Your Majesty will capture these five thieves, and spread the heads of the city and the four directions to thank the world...... Today's thieves are in the prison, it is caused by these five thieves, Your Majesty can bear to endanger the world? If Emperor Tang Ming punished Yang Guozhong early, Lushan may not have an excuse. Fortunately, His Majesty can't bear to do this. Your Majesty endures but does not punish, that is, he is afraid that the world will rise up and punish him. The four murderers of Fu Shun were also seen at the beginning of the Zen position, and they did not hear their hesitation, can they not be learned?"

The Tai Student Movement, led by Chen Dong, was supported by the conservative ministers of the Zhao and Song dynasties, who felt that this was a good time to bring down Cai Jing and other reformist ministers.

Fueled by these conservative ministers, the matter had a great political impact.

In addition, many ordinary people in Bianliang City, Tokyo, also strongly supported Chen Dong's Tai Student Movement.

For Zhao Huan, Wang Hao has a deep hatred with him, and he can also take the opportunity of cleaning up Zhao Ji's favored ministers such as Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Wang Hao, Li Yan and Liang Shicheng to eradicate Zhao Ji's political power, and by the way, establish his authority and consolidate his own dominance.

Therefore, Zhao Huan characterized this student movement as a righteous patriotic action, and began to attack the "five thieves".

When Wang Hao learned that Zhao Ji was on the throne and Zhao Huan became the emperor, Wang Hao knew that the end of him who had wanted to abolish Zhao Huan had come.

Wang Hao went to see Zhao Huan at the first time when Zhao Huan ascended the throne, but he was told that the new emperor was unwilling to see him.

Wang Hao knew that something was wrong, so he asked to be released.

However, Wang's request was quickly denied.

In desperation, Wang Hao took a boat out of the city without authorization, wanting to escape to the Daqian Dynasty.

After Zhao Huan learned about this, he first demoted Wang Hao by seven levels, and felt unhappy, so he asked Nie Shan, who had a grudge against Wang Hao, to send someone to hunt down and kill Wang Huang.

Nie Shan sent capable killers to chase all the way to a place called Fugu Village, and finally caught up with Wang Hao, and then killed Wang Hao, and

Brought the head back.

At the same time, Zhao Huan issued an edict to raid Wang Hao's home and confiscate all the property of Wang Hao's mansion.

In the end, there were hundreds of millions of gold treasures.

In addition, Wang Hao had a lot of concubines, among which there were only official titles, and there were as many as eighteen - eight ladies and ten pleasant people.

In the end, most of these women were divided among the magnates of the Qinzong Dynasty, and only one concubine named "Su'e" had the best relationship with Wang Hao, and she had been following Wang Hao's side, and when she heard that Wang Hao was "killed by thieves", Su'e was very sad and died in less than three days.

After Wang Hao was executed, the second thing Zhao Huan wanted to get rid of was Liang Shicheng.

Liang Shicheng is indeed a big female cadre.

But it is fair to say that Liang Shicheng did not lose Zhao Huan.

——Over the years, if Liang Shicheng had not protected Zhao Huan, Zhao Huan would have been abolished by Wang Huang long ago. Moreover, in the process of Zhao Huan's succession to the throne this time, Liang Shicheng made a contribution.

But Zhao Huan is different from Zhao Ji.

How to say it.

Zhao Huan is a little bit of Chongzhen, that is, he doesn't think about the old feelings at all, and any kindness and family affection are not important here in Zhao Huan, he is the kind of person who is ruthless to the extreme.

Take Liang Shicheng as an example.

Zhao Huan didn't think about it at all, Liang Shicheng had protected him many times to protect him as the crown prince, he only saw that Liang Shicheng was a female cadre and that Liang Shicheng had a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in his hands.

Therefore, Zhao Huan has been thinking about how to execute Liang Shicheng and get a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry in Liang Shicheng's hands.

And since Liang Shicheng knew that he was included in the list of "five thieves", he was worried and panicked all day long, especially when he heard that Wang Hao was "killed by thieves", he was even more cautious everywhere, and he didn't even leave Zhao Huan's side when he went to sleep, even if Zhao Huan went to the toilet, he must follow Zhao Huan's side.

As a result, Zhao Huan has never had a chance to clean up Liang Shicheng.

- After all, Liang Shicheng has Zhao Huan, and Zhao Huan can't be ungrateful in a grand manner, right?

It wasn't until Zhang Bing also wrote a book, accusing Liang Shicheng of being Li Fuguo in the current dynasty, that Zhao Huan felt that the opportunity to get rid of Liang Shicheng had come.

However, Liang Shicheng was walking around Zhao Huan, making it really difficult for Zhao Huan to do it.

Zhao Huan then used a strategy to spend Liang Shicheng, and then asked Li Bangyan to detain Liang Shicheng, and in the name of Liang Shicheng's collusion with Wang Huang, Liang Shicheng was demoted to the deputy envoy of the Changhua Army, and Huazhou was resettled.

Subsequently, Zhao Huan planned to follow Shi Shi and asked Nie Shan to send people to secretly execute Liang Shicheng on the way to escort him.

The officials of Kaifeng escorted Liang Shicheng out of Bianliang City, Tokyo, not far away, in a place called "Octagonal Town", and hanged Liang Shicheng.

After receiving the news of Liang Shicheng's death, Zhao Huan immediately ordered Liang Shicheng to be raided.

Liang Shicheng, who was kind to Zhao Huan, Zhao Huan was killed, and Li Yan, who was completely out of power, was it not a matter of Zhao Huan's words?

In fact, as early as when Chen Dong first found out about the "five thieves", Zhao Huan did not hesitate to give Li Yan to death, and then raided Li Yan's house.

It was precisely because he copied the first pot of gold in his life at Li Yan's house that Zhao Huan killed Wang Huang non-stop, and then killed Liang Shicheng in a frenzy.

killed Wang Hao, Liang Shicheng and Li Yan, the three female cadres, and Zhao Huan's financial problems were greatly alleviated at once.

This makes Zhao Huan a little obsessed with killing people and stealing goods, no, it should be obsessed with asking for guilt and stealing homes.

Zhao Huan even understood a little, why Li Cun liked to raid his house so much, really, this thing came to make money so quickly.

As for Cai Jing and Tong Guan, Zhao Huan did not dare to act rashly.

Because Cai Jing and Tong Guan are not ordinary ministers, they are the two ministers that Zhao Ji has relied on the most in the past 26 years of his administration.

As for how to punish Cai Jing and Tong Guan, Zhao Huan had to be cautious.

More importantly, Tong Guan, Cai Jing, Cai You and others are no longer in Bianliang City, Tokyo at this time.

After the Zen throne, Zhao Ji moved out of the palace and went to live in Longde Palace.

Longde Palace

It is the original Duanwang Mansion, which is located in the outer city, on the north bank of the Jinglong River.

After the inner meditation, Zhao Ji has been paying attention to the changes in the current situation.

When Zhao Ji heard that Li Cun was about to hit the Yellow River, Zhao Ji suddenly felt that the situation was urgent.

So, when the second drum leaked that night, Zhao Ji quietly left Longde Palace, drove east, until Tongjin Gate, and then went down to the river by boat.

At this time, only Cai You and a few attendants and servants were following Zhao Ji.

After Zhao Ji and his entourage boarded the boat, they went out of the city overnight along the Bianhe River.

The water flows in the night, and the boat travels on the water.

At this time, it was the cold winter season, and the water level of the Bianhe River was shallow, so the speed of the boat was slightly slow.

Zhao Ji felt that the speed of such a march was too slow, so he abandoned the boat and went ashore and took a sedan chair instead.

But after sitting in the sedan chair for a while, Zhao Ji felt that the speed of the sedan chair was not as fast as the boat, so he changed back to running the boat.

Zhao Ji had a talent for escaping, and the next evening, Zhao Ji fled to Luoyang, Xijing.

When he arrived here, Zhao Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, after learning that Zhao Ji had run away overnight, Empress Dowager Zheng, the imperial concubines, and the princes and emperors also hurriedly fled from Bianliang City, Tokyo, with their family rolls, and went west to chase Zhao Ji.

On this day, there were still many officials and gentry of the Zhao and Song dynasties, and after hearing that Zhao Ji had left Bianliang City in Tokyo for Chang'an, they also fled westward.

Zhao Ji and his entourage did not stay in Luoyang for too long, and after they bought a mule, they continued west.

On the way, passing by a village, Zhao Ji was tired of walking and wanted to rest, and when he saw a family with a bamboo door half-hidden, he knocked on the door and entered.

There was only one old woman in this family, and Zhao Ji started a family routine with her.

The old woman asked Zhao Ji his surname, and Zhao Ji replied: "The surname is Zhao, he lives in Tokyo, and he has been a scholar, and he recommends his eldest son to be his own generation."

After two more days, Zhao Ji and his party finally came to Tongguan.

Tongguan, bordering the Yellow River in the north and standing on the mountainside in the south, is the east gate of Guanzhong, which has always been a place for soldiers to fight, ranking second among the top ten famous passes in China, and is known as the "first pass".

After entering Tongguan, Zhao Ji's heart finally relaxed.

Not long after Zhao Ji rode a mule into Tongguan, he met a fish seller.

Zhao Ji bargained with the fish seller and bought back two fatty fish.

In the process of Cai You's cooking fish, Zhao Ji was quite touched, so he gave a small poem to "Linjiang Immortal": "Go through the water and mountains, and chant more than 1,000 poems. Huaibo is cold and heavy and the rain is sparse. There are herons on the smoke cage beach, and people sell the boat fish. The ancient temple has the right to live in the secluded room, and sleeps in the monk's residence late at night. The Dream Soul was startled and groaned. Sorrow and sorrow, and tears to write back to the book."

At this time, Yu Wencuizhong, the deputy envoy of the palace, Tong Guan, Gao Qiu and other ministers all chased after him from behind.

Tong Guan had already been appointed by Zhao Huan to stay in Tokyo, but when Tong Guan heard that Zhao Ji had run away, he immediately led the Shengjie army out of the nest and came to chase Zhao Ji.

Like Tong Guan, there are also high demands.

Gao Qiu also led 3,000 Praetorian Guards to protect Zhao Ji.

In addition, there are Cai Jing, Cai You and Song Huan's family, their relatives, protégés, and former officials, there are about a thousand people, and none of them are left in Bianliang City, Tokyo.

There are actually many people like Cai Jing, Cai You, Tong Guan, and Gao Qiu who escaped from Tokyo Bianliang City and came to Shaanxi without authorization.

As a result, the Zhao and Song courts have now appeared, the officials have lost three or four out of ten, and the court is half empty.

And these people fled, on the one hand, it must be to escape the military disaster caused by the southward movement of the cadres, and on the other hand, they were once a son of heaven and a courtier, they saw that Zhao Huan was a ruthless person, if he stayed in Bianliang City, Tokyo, he would definitely be more than lucky.

Zhao Ji was afraid that Li Cun would come to Shaanxi to arrest him, so he stayed with Gao to guard Tongguan.

The reason why Zhao Ji chose to take Tong Guan and leave Gao Qiu was mainly because the Shengjie Army was good at fighting, and the combat power of the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army was not good, and Tong Guan was very famous here in Shaanxi and could eat well.

Gao Qiu was unwilling to guard the pass, he wanted to continue to follow Zhao Ji.

After Tong Guan learned about this, he decisively ordered Shengjie

The army shot arrows at the Praetorian Guards, and Gao Qiu was so frightened that he did not dare to follow him anymore.

A few days later, Zhao Ji arrived in Chang'an......

Knowing that Zhao Ji had ceded the throne to Zhao Huan as in history, Li Cun was anxious.

All along, Li Cun was not afraid that he would not be able to overthrow the Zhao Song Dynasty, he was only afraid that Zhao Ji would run away with his dozens of sons.

Because after such a thing happens, it means that even if Li Cun overthrows the Zhao and Song Dynasty, he will definitely have endless troubles.

Therefore, Li Cun ordered a rapid march to Bianliang City, Tokyo as soon as possible.

Li Cun hurried and hurried, but he arrived in Handan on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month.

Seeing that Li Cun was really anxious, Pharmacist Guo took the initiative to ask Ying to go and seize the Yellow River Bridge in Junzhou.

Li Cun knew that Guo Yaoshi was good at long-distance raids, so he sent Song Jiang and Yang Zhi to lead Yang Zhi's 10,000 horse army to follow Guo Yaoshi to seize the Yellow River Bridge in Junzhou.

Seeing that Li Cun didn't let him lead the troops, Guo Yaoshi was very disappointed.

But in order to make meritorious contributions to protect himself, Guo Yaoshi still worked very hard to take Song Jiang and Yang Zhi to gallop day and night, and rushed towards the Junzhou Yellow River Bridge.

Nearly 300 miles from Handan to Junzhou, under the urging of Guo Yaoshi, the 10,000 horses of Yang Zhi's department quietly arrived outside Junzhou in only one day and night.

Liang Fangping, who was responsible for the defense of the Yellow River Bridge in Junzhou, did not expect the cadres to come so quickly.

In addition, the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army under Liang Fangping was a group of improvised organized rabble.

Therefore, when they saw the cavalry gods and generals of the tens of thousands of Great Qian Dynasty, they immediately scattered birds and beasts, and they did not even implement the pre-planned burning of the bridge.

This is actually mainly due to Song Jiang.

Song Jiang felt that their troops were sufficient, so after discussing with Yang Zhi and others, while directly attacking Junzhou City, Song Jiang personally led 3,000 men and horses to directly capture the Yellow River Bridge in Junzhou.

The soldiers of the Song army guarding the Yellow River Bridge in Junzhou saw thousands of men and horses roaring towards them, and they had no time to burn the bridge, so they could only run away.

It can be said that the Daqian Dynasty seized the crucial Junzhou Yellow River Bridge without much effort.

And He Guan's department, which was responsible for guarding the south bank of the Yellow River, saw that Liang Fangping led the remnants to flee in the direction of Bianliang City in Tokyo, and they were not controlled by He Guan at all, and they also abandoned the shore one after another.

In this way, from Heyang in the west to the Daimyo Mansion in Beijing in the east, on the hundreds of miles of the Yellow River moat, the Zhao and Song dynasties no longer had a single defender, and the Yellow River defense line that Zhao Huan had high hopes for was thus self-defeating.

At the suggestion of Guo Yaoshi, Yang Zhi led his horse army to pursue the Song army while advancing towards Bianliang City in Tokyo.

From the bank of the Yellow River to Bianliang City in Tokyo, it is less than 300 miles.

For a pure horse army, it is at most a journey between two days and nights.

Soon, Li Cun also learned that Guo Yaoshi, Song Jiang, and Yang Zhi had captured the Yellow River Bridge in Junzhou.

Li Cun made a quick decision, separated the cavalry, and then personally led 30,000 horsemen to surround Bianliang City in Tokyo......
