…

Although Wu Ge and the others were already very cautious, their actions were still known to Li Cun a long time ago.

The first to report this matter to Li Cun was the Guozi priest Jiu Dong Kui, who received a report from Li Cun and the Tai students of the Daqian Dynasty as soon as there were Tai students to respond to Wu Ge and them, and he was so shocked that he took the Tai student into the palace overnight to ask to see Li Cun.

After Li Cun listened to the report of Dong Kui and the student, he handed the two of them over to Zhang Chao and Hu Tu.

Immediately afterwards, a person who Li Cun never expected also came to report Wu Ge's actions to Li Cunyu.

This person Li Cun never thought of was Mei Zhili.

Mei Zhili was a jinshi in Chongning for five years, and he was appointed as the editor of the "Nine Domains" by the imperial decree. Later, he successively served as a doctor of martial arts, a national son, a scholar in the middle school, and a middle officer, and was tired of being a scholar in the household department.

Mei is an upright and strict official, and does not avoid the powerful. Because of offending Wang Huang, Wang Huang was late when he was worshiping the original temple (a separate temple other than the main temple) as an excuse, and he belittled him to be in the Xianmo Pavilion to be controlled in Qizhou, and was deprived of his official position; The following year, he moved to Chuzhou Zhizhou. Chuzhou has an example of offering charcoal to the official, and the trees have been cut down, and Mei Zhili has asked for exemption from supply. The local people were suffering from the heavy salt tax, and Mei Zhili wrote a letter to ask for exemption and was exempted. Therefore, the people set up an ancestral hall for the portrait of Mei Zhili.

After Li Cun destroyed the Zhao and Song dynasties, Mei Zhili did not choose to retire, but chose to become a leader in the Daqian Dynasty.

Based on Mei Zhili's past experience, Li Guang recommended Mei Zhili to serve as the right Cao of the household department.

Li Cunzhun is accurate.

Historically, Mei Zhili was an absolute loyal servant of the Zhao and Song dynasties.

The Jin people abolished Zhao Huan as a concubine, and abolished the Zhao Song Dynasty, Fan Qiong escorted Zhao Ji and other royal members of the Zhao Song Dynasty to the Jin camp. ”

Meimu said: "Loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve both, you are so favored by the country, you should report it wholeheartedly, don't think of the elderly." ”

So Mei Zhili asked his brothers to support his parents, and resolutely discussed with the generals to plan a night attack on Jin to rescue Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan.

In the name of giving money, Mei Zhili secretly contacted the military and civilians with Wu Ge and Zhao Zifang of the clan, and gained more than 100,000 people in a few days.

At the same time, Mei Zhili and his colleagues Chen Zhizhen, Cheng Zhen, and An Fu knew that the people's strength was trapped and it was impossible to meet the demands of the Jin people, so they risked being dealt with by the Jin people's military law and pretended to maneuver around and refused to pay.

A eunuch took revenge for personal gain and reported to the Jin people the true situation of Bianliang City in Tokyo, and suggested that the Jin people took advantage of the lack of grain in Bianliang City in Tokyo to sell grain to the people in the city, and the people in the city really took money to buy grain, which proved that Mei Zhili and others did not loot Bianliang City in Tokyo.

Wanyan Zonghan angrily scolded Mei Zhili and the other four people, coerced them to obey their orders, and Mei Zhili and others replied: "The people are empty and have no way to collect, so it is difficult to obey their orders!" ”

Wanyan Zonghan asked who the official was, intending to reproach Mei for the ceremony.

Cheng Zhen was afraid that Mei Zhili would be convicted, so he stepped forward and said, "We are all officials." ”

Wanyan Zonghan first scolded the four people's deputy servant Yu Shi Hu Shunzhi, the palace servant Yu Shi Hu Tang Lao, the superintendent Yu Shi Yao Shunming, and Wang Yu cane for one hundred.

Mei Zhili and others interceded for them.

The four of them were immediately sent back, and when they rode to the Nanxun Gate, the Jin people shouted from behind: "Shangshu stops, there is an order from the marshal." ”

The four men dismounted and obeyed the order, and were beaten to death with maces, beheaded, and abandoned at the door, and ordered their families to redeem the corpses with gold and silver.

And Mei Zhili, Wu Ge and others' plan to save Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan also failed because Fan Qiong found out.

Li Cunzhen didn't expect that when he came to himself, Mei Zhili would choose to "betray" Wu Ge and them.

Li Cun looked at Mei Zhili and asked: "The lord humiliated the ministers to death, and I abolished the Zhao family's imprisonment, what is the reason why you don't think about rescuing, but you confess to be loyal to the Zhao family?" ”

Mei Zhili did not say that since Li Cun entered Bianliang City, Tokyo, he has been secretly observing Li Cun.

Moreover, as an official of the household department, Mei Zhili had a very clear understanding of the economic income, grain income, population growth, and annual economic expenditure of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Compare it with the period of the Zhao and Song dynasties.

Mei Zhili easily came to the conclusion that compared to the Zhao family's mastery of this country, for the people, how lucky Li Cun was to be the emperor.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, as long as there are no extraneous branches, Li Cun will certainly be able to quell the war in the Central Plains within one or two years, and it is even expected that within three to five years, China will be able to completely end the war and let the Chinese people, who have been baptized by the fire of war, return to a life of peace and contentment.

Therefore, if you try to help the Zhao family restore the country, it is tantamount to turning back the clock of history, and it will only make the people continue to suffer from the flames of this war, and they may not be able to live and work in peace and contentment for decades.

Moreover, as far as Mei Zhili observes, although Li Cun is from the field, he is wise and wise, open-minded, knows people well, and has no last resort in the past few years, and has no soldiers left, and is determined to have a great cause.

In this period of turbulent international situation, I am afraid that only an emperor like Li Cun, who is extremely good, can protect the hundreds of millions of people in China, right?

Therefore, Mei Zhili can't gamble on the future of hundreds of millions of Chinese people because of his foolish loyalty to the Zhao family.

In addition, there are hundreds of thousands of elites of the Daqian Dynasty in the Gyeonggi area, and there are 50,000 troops stationed on the city wall alone for a long time, even patrolling the city, all of whom have thousands of men and horses.

Also, even if Wu Ge and them succeeded, what could they do, could it be that the Zhao clan couldn't defeat the Daqian Dynasty in its heyday, and now that the country has been ruined, can they defeat the Daqian Dynasty?

Taking a step back, even if Zhao Gou or Zhao Hakama or some other person surnamed Zhao became the emperor, could it really be better than letting the wise and martial Li Cun be the emperor?

Based on these considerations, Mei Zhili finally chose to help the Daqian Dynasty put down this rebellion as soon as possible, which could never succeed and should not succeed.

At this moment, in the face of Li Cun's questioning, Mei Zhili said very calmly: "The people are precious, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light." ”

Li Cun is very familiar with this sentence, but when he really said it so bluntly in front of Li Cun, Mei Zhili was the first.

Li Cun did not blame Mei for deabling, after all, this represents the thoughts of a large part of the people, and, judging from the current situation, the existence of such people is not necessarily a bad thing for Li Cun.

Although Li Cun was very pleased with Mei Zhili's choice and admired Mei Zhili as a person, he did not immediately promote Mei Zhili, but handed Mei Zhili over to Zhang Chao and Hu Tu.

After Mei Zhili followed Zhang Chao and Hu Tu to the former Imperial City Division, he realized how correct his choice was.

It turned out that Wu Ge and the others had long been closely monitored by Wu Desi and the pro-army Duwei Mansion, and their every move was under the control of the Wude Division and the pro-army Duwei Mansion.

Not only that, but there are also many people from the Daqian Dynasty who have already penetrated into Wu Ge's internal ranks.

Why did Mei know this?

Because Zhang Chao and Hu Tu also asked Mei Zhili to go undercover with Wu Ge and them.

However, Zhang Chao and Hu Tu's task for Mei Zhili was not to inquire about the news, but to ask Mei to suggest that the royal family and clan of the Zhao and Song dynasties be confessed......

There is no need for Mei Zhili to inquire about the news, how could Mei Zhili not know that Wu Ge and the others have long been targeted by Wu Desi and the pro-army Duwei Mansion.

Let's put it this way, the reason why Wu Desi and the pro-army Duwei Mansion are not arresting Wu Ge and them now is not that Wu Desi and the pro-army Duwei Mansion can't catch them, but just because Wu Desi and the pro-army Duwei Mansion want to expand the results of the battle and do it once and for all.

In this regard, Mei Zhili sighed leisurely, and did not feel the slightest joy because he had gone ashore by himself.

Actually-

Mei Zhili was not the only one who reported Wu Ge to Li Cun and their former ministers of the Zhao and Song dynasties, Lu Haowen, the secretary of the military department, supervised the imperial history Ma Shen and Zhang Suo, Feng Yilang Zhishi Wu Qi and many other former ministers of the Zhao and Song dynasties took Wu Ge's actions as a petition and handed them over to Li Cun.

And without exception, these people who had submitted their names to Li Cun were all sent back to Wu Ge by Zhang Chao and Hu Tu in the end.

Under the proposition of Mei Zhili and these people, Wu Ge and them gave out a large number of royal families and clans of the Zhao and Song dynasties in order to keep Zhao Zhen.

In this process, Zhao Zifang contributed a lot, and many of the hidden royal families and clans of the Zhao and Song Dynasty were provided by him, and even he came forward to persuade those royal families and clans of the Zhao and Song Dynasty to take the overall situation as the priority and take the initiative to surrender to Kaifeng Mansion.

Through the joint efforts of both sides, in the end, only a few royal families and clans of the Zhao and Song dynasties, such as Zhao Haka, Zhao Zifang, and Zhao Hao, the king of Jian'an County (that is, the eldest son of Empress Mingjie), have not been found.

Zhang Chao, Hu Tu and others discussed it and felt that the heat was almost over, and the net should be closed.

No, at this time, Wu Ge and the others found themselves exposed.

For exposing this kind of thing, Wu Ge and the others had already planned it, and they were ready to concentrate their forces to escort Zhao Zhen to seize Jinshuimen once the matter was defeated, and then go all the way north to find Zhao Gou.

Actually-

As early as when Wu Ge and the others learned that Li Cun had sent Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and other royal families and clans of the Zhao and Song dynasties to the south, they had already cried, and they all said: "My monarch is gone!" ”

Then someone wiped away his tears and proposed to kill the palace to avenge the royal family and clan of the Zhao Song Dynasty such as Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan.

Wu Ge was quite rational at that time, knowing that with their little men, they might not be able to kill the inner city, and they would be wiped out by the cadres, so he resolutely opposed this stupid sacrifice, and he said to everyone: "If the incident starts first, we and others are not fully armored, and there are no war horses, but I am afraid that even the patrol cadres and thieves will be invincible, and they will be able to help?" ”

After Wu Ge's repeated dissuasion, the others gave up, but they still took the opportunity to draft three open letters, which they were ready to use in future uprisings.

The contents of the three open letters are roughly as follows:

The first letter reprimanded the Daqian Dynasty for detaining the emperor, royal family and clan of the Zhao and Song dynasties in the name of peace, and not respecting morality;

the second letter, reprimanding the ministers of the Zhao and Song dynasties for not wanting to save the fate of the country, and turned around and went to the Daqian Dynasty to become vain;

The third letter reprimanded the residents of Bianliang City, Tokyo, for not remembering that the monarch's father was imprisoned in the Great Qian Dynasty, and only knew how to steal peace every day, and did not know the power of common death, so as to snow the country's difficulties.

It can be said that Wu Ge and they are ready for everything, but they didn't expect that there were a large number of secret agents and undercover agents of the Daqian Dynasty in their team.

Now, some people can't bear to let Wu Ge and these loyal people die in vain, and secretly tell them the news that they have been exposed.

After Wu Ge and others learned about this, instead of being afraid, they also killed their wives and children, burned their houses, and decided to raise righteousness in advance, directly attack the palace, and capture the thief and capture the king first.

Banzhi Cui Guang, Cui Yan and other generals found Wu Ge with the weapons they got through various channels, and everyone urged Wu Ge to immediately order the troops.

Wu Ge asked, "How many people are in our army?" ”

Cui Guang, Cui Yan and the others replied: "Nearly 3,000 people, and hundreds of thousands of people, if they hear that we are raising up to save the king and punish the thief, they will all obey it." ”

At this point, Wu Ge felt that everyone's ambition was unbreakable, so he had to agree.

Cui Yan, Cui Guang and others urged Wu Ge to get on the horse, led them to the palace, and captured Li Cun alive.

Wu Ge then put on his armor and mounted his horse and led the people towards the inner city to kill.

When Wu Ge and them killed in the west of Jinshui River, Wu Ge gradually found that something was wrong with the situation, because the surroundings were quiet, no matter how they shouted or called, no people came out to respond to them, and no people even came out to see the excitement.

It's also so abnormal.

But by this time it was too late.

Soon, tens of thousands of horses were slaughtered from the inner city in the distance.

At the same time, five thousand men were killed from the alleys on both sides.

The 20,000 army is not only complete in armor, but also filled with a large number of cavalry, and even a large number of tiger squat cannons, thunder and thunder are the standard configuration of these 20,000 horses.

With this kind of configuration, not to mention fighting Wu Ge, they have less than 3,000 horses, even if they fight 30,000 horses, they are all hand-to-hand.

Seeing this, Wu Ge sighed leisurely: "Big things are gone!" ”

There is no suspense in this battle.

In addition to less than 100 people who surrendered, the remaining 2,700 people, including Cui Guang, Cui Yan and other generals, were all killed on the spot, and Wu Ge and his son were captured with all their might.

Although he was captured alive, Wu Ge was still fearless, his face did not change, and he scolded Fan Qiong, Zuo Yan and others who were mixed in the cadre army, and scolded Fan Qiong, Zuo Yan and others in annoyance, and did not dare to return the favor, his loyalty to the Zhao and Song Dynasty was terrifying.

After the matter was reported to Li Cun, who was in the early court, Li Cun did not see Wu Ge, but made a straightforward decree: "Heroes must not be humiliated, wait for him to be happy." ”

As a result, all those who were preparing to oppose the Song Dynasty, including Wu Ge and his sons, Zhao Hakama, and Zhao Zifang, were all killed.

Soon after, Zhang Chao and Hu Tu brought with them a large number of documents looted from the Qisheng Temple, including a large number of letters exchanged between Wu Ge and others and the former ministers of the Zhao and Song dynasties.

Seeing this scene, many people who had secretly communicated with Wu Ge and them were all scared and sweating, and some of them had poor psychological quality, and they almost collapsed to the ground.

Just when many people thought that a bloody storm was about to come, Li Cun suddenly ordered: "Carry the brazier up and burn all the letters and documents in the palace." ”

In the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao with fewer victories. When Yuan Shao escaped, he didn't have time to take away books, chariots and other things, so he threw them away. When Cao Cao's cronies were rummaging through these miscellaneous items, they found some letters in the book, which were written by Cao Cao's subordinates and Yuan Shao secretly, so they showed these letters to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao looked through it, and most of the content was praising Yuan Shao, and some also said that they wanted to leave Cao Cao and go to Yuan Shao.

His cronies suggested that Cao Cao arrest and execute all the letter writers, but instead of doing so, Cao Cao ordered all the letters to be burned.

The cronies were puzzled, Cao Cao smiled and said: "At that time, Yuan Shao's strength was so strong, I couldn't protect myself, let alone everyone?" ”

After Cao Cao burned these letters, those who had written to Yuan Shao were greatly moved, and since then they have been working hard for Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's generosity and tolerant character have also been passed down through the ages.

In fact, Cao Cao is not the first person in history to use the method of burning letters to win people's hearts.

Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu, had already used this method.

After Liu Xiu pacified Wang Lang, he got thousands of letters between his subordinates and Wang Lang, Liu Xiu summoned his subordinates and burned all the letters with a torch, the reason was to "make the opponent feel at ease." ”

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Liu Xiufan, the king of Song Guiyang, rebelled and was pacified by Xiao Daocheng, and the information at that time spread slowly, and some people did not know that Liu Xiufan was dead, and they all went to the table to show their loyalty, and as a result, these letters fell into the hands of Xiao Daocheng.

Xiao Daocheng also burned all these letters, and said to those people: "Liu Xiufan's father and son are dead, and your letters have also been burned by me, so you don't have to worry anymore." ”

Also, Zhao Siwan rebelled, Zhou Zu led the troops to crusade, Wang Pu followed Zhou Zu to go on the expedition, and quickly quelled the rebellion.

This was evidence of the collusion of these people in the feudal town, and Zhou Zu immediately planned to bring these letters back to the imperial court in order to punish these people.

But Wang Pu did not agree to do this, he said to Zhou Zu: "Demons and monsters wait until the night to appear, and now that the rain has passed and the sky is sunny and the red sun is shining, they will naturally disappear." I hope you burn all these letters and don't have to remember their faults. ”

Zhou Zu took his advice, and sure enough, he calmed the hearts of those people, so that they would serve the country loyally from now on.

Therefore, although it is difficult to escape the suspicion of showmanship, it can indeed play a role in attracting people's hearts.

Let's just say that right now, those old ministers of the Zhao and Song Dynasty, who were almost frightened, saw that Li Cun had all the evidence of their crimes burned, they were like a new life!

Actually-

It's not that no one knows, Li Cun burned the letter, it just means that Li Cun doesn't want to pursue these things anymore and wants to let them go, it doesn't mean that Li Cun doesn't know what they did.

But this is still enough for them sinners to be grateful to Dade, because Li Cun can kill them all through this matter, but Li Cun did not, but showed them the mind of an emperor.

Of course, you can also understand that this is a political means and a kind of wisdom for Li Cun.

It is no exaggeration to say that many former ministers of the Zhao and Song dynasties, whether they participated in this political event or those who did not participate in this political event, including many former ministers of the Great Liao Empire, really began to be loyal to Li Cun and the Daqian Dynasty from this moment.

At the moment when all the letters and documents were reduced to ashes, His Highness suddenly burst into a thunderous roar: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!! ”
