In fact, not only Yan Shenggong, at this time, all the civil officials who chose to support Zhao Huan before have begun to regret their choice.

There are many reasons why they chose to support Zhao Huan in the first place.

First, legitimacy.

Even if the great painter is his father, but he has officially abdicated, and Zhao Huan has ascended the throne, then this legitimacy has been transferred to Zhao Huan's body, for the traditional Confucian system, the role of the monarch and the minister has been decided, they are no longer the ministers of the great painter, they are the ministers of the new monarch, even if the great painter is the emperor, he is not qualified to continue to get involved in the government, let alone run out and openly set up another court.

This is the fault of the great painters!

The Emperor is the Emperor, and he must really hand over power.

As civil servants who adhered to the Confucian program, supporting Zhao Huan was a kind of political correctness.

Second, they were already disappointed in the great painters.

The latter favored Cai Jing's father and son, these traitorous ministers, trusted the eunuchs, and liked to cultivate the Tao, these in the eyes of the self-proclaimed scholars, that is, a faint monarch, they hoped that a new monarch could bring some changes to the imperial court, which is also the reason why the great painter was later driven back from Jiangnan. After he arrived in Jiangnan, he still reused the Cai family's henchmen, especially those eunuchs, and the Jiangnan officials had no hope of reform, and they were completely disappointed in him, so they all sided with Zhao Huan and excluded him.

Even they can't say they like Zhao Huan.

But for them, there is some hope for another emperor after all, and no matter how bad it is, it will not be worse than the great painter who praised the eunuch to the third duke.

Third, Wang Yue's performance during the process of going south made them more or less fantastic.

In the process of this bastard going south, it was almost time to catch up with the new dynasty, and even the Hebei gentry were full of praise for him.

Military discipline is strict, there is no crime in autumn, never loot, even the crops along the way are strictly forbidden to be trampled, even if there is a village next to it, it will not disturb the people, and would rather live in tents in the wild, just like the style of the Yue family's army, so for these gentry who are close to Hebei, especially Shandong and Gyeonggi, even if Wang Yue really does Dong Zhuo, with his current style of painting, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing.

After all, he still has to rely on the gentry.

Last year, he was indeed a bandit, but this year he is clearly on the right path.

Even if he is a real usurper, it seems that he will not poison the gentry, the throne of the old Zhao family was originally usurped, and it is not a big deal if he wants to usurp, as long as he can maintain the previous style of painting in Hebei, everyone can fully accept him to change the dynasty. This is also one of the reasons why the gentry of Gyeonggi, Shandong, and Hebei would rather choose Zhao Huan in this dispute between the father and son of the great painter, in their opinion, even if Zhao Huan is a puppet for Wang Yue, in fact, it will not hinder them from doing anything.

However, the great painter set up another imperial court in the south of the Yangtze River to cut off the transportation to the north, which was really related to the vital interests of the northern gentry.

However......

The Yingtian tragedy made Wang Yue's true form exposed!

What kind of new dynasty is this, what can be saved, this is purely a bandit!

No matter how faint the great painter is, he is also a monarch of the standard Confucian system, but Wang Yue is still a rogue!

In this way, the great painter has become the object of their nostalgia again.

Of course, it's useless for Yan Shenggong to miss the great painter now, at least for now, he still has to pay for it.

Yan Shenggong finally began to send 200,000 Guan out of the city within an hour......

Of course, it's all copper coins.

Even a lot of them are packed in bulk in sacks.

On the road from the Xianyuan City Gate to the Confucian Temple, those people who pushed sacks of copper coins with carts lined up in a long queue that seemed to be endless, and then walked up to Wang Yue, and carried these copper coins down directly, and some simply fell directly to the ground, at this time a very serious problem was born.

"That's not going to work!"

Wang Yue said speechlessly.

He missed a very serious problem, that is, the weight of the 200,000 copper coins.

The weight of Chongning Tongbao is four grams, and at present it has always been seven hundred and seventy pieces, which is equivalent to three kilograms, and the total weight of 200,000 guan is as high as six hundred ......

Ton!

And he had a total of six thousand horses.

All cavalry is a horse and a war horse.

If it is 100,000 times, 3,000 horses will be transported, and one horse will be 100 kilograms.

But 200,000 ......

"Stop, I've changed my mind, don't want copper coins, all for gold and silver!"

Wang Yue said very simply.

"Your Majesty, you've said that."

The steward said with a smile.

"Go, burn the temple in the back!"

Wang Yue said very simply.

Yang Zaixing cheered and led those soldiers, and quickly rushed to the building behind, it was obvious that he had been waiting for this order for a long time, this murder and arson was the right reason, what was the disadvantage of just killing people without setting fire, I have to say that Yang Zaixing has completely learned badly.

However, the steward was still unmoved, and still looked at Wang Yue with a flattering and embarrassed expression.

"My lord, it's all done."

He babbled.

Burn it, burn it, and repair it after burning, and besides, this is not repaired by the Kong family.

This is Zhao Jiaxiu, not only here, but also Jingling Palace, these are all Zhao Jiaxiu's, the same is still Zhao Jiaxiu after burning, copper money is a circulating goods, in fact, Yan Shenggong is not really distressed, what about 200,000 guan, the Kong family has 200 acres of sacrificial fields, and the annual output is tens of thousands. But gold and silver are different, they are all real wealth accumulated from generation to generation, and the gold and silver of the Confucian family have been accumulated from generation to generation, and taking out 200,000 pieces of gold and silver is the same as a loss that hurts the muscles and bones.

"That's it!"

Wang Yue looked at him with interest.

The steward did not give in, and obviously really felt that the 200,000 pieces of gold and silver were far more valuable than the ruined temple.

"Let's go!"

Wang Yue suddenly turned his horse's head and said.

The trumpeter beside him immediately blew the trumpet, and at the same time waved the flag, and then under the personal leadership of the commander, the cavalry in the formation went straight forward, and the steward behind him was dazed for a moment, and suddenly a cold sweat broke out, and he quickly turned his head and ran towards the city. And just as he entered the city, the cavalry led by Wang Yue had quickly overwhelmed Kong Lin, which was actually very close, and these rough soldiers, ignoring the wrath of the sages below, swept through this solemn pine forest like locusts.

Then the fire followed their sweep and ignited over those ancient pines and cypresses, and quickly turned into a sea of fire that consumed everything.

Fortunately, this forest is not large, and it is early autumn at this time, that is, the pine needles and bark and dead branches on the ground can be burned, so as not to really form a continuous fire, under the impetus of the wind, soon the fire line will complete the sweep of the entire Kong forest, and re-expose the ground that has turned black, as well as the mounds that have also turned black, in the residual smoke of the fire, accusing the crimes of these thieves, but it is like a brother and brother with the buildings that are still burning not far away.

Then Wang Yue returned with the cavalry.

These rough billets trampled on one by one very happily, and many simply dismounted, while Wang Yue stood directly on the top of the sage's head.

"Dashuai, shall we pick them up?"

Yang Zaixing said eagerly.

"Give the saint a face, first see if his so-called descendants understand or not, let the brothers rest and rest, if you want to dance, you can dance, and let the saint appreciate our axe dance, no, we can't say it's an axe dance, it should be a dry Qi dance, we belong to the ancient rites, and it's the most suitable for Confucius to appreciate, then pass the order to dance."

Wang Yue said.

"The handsome man has an order, all dance, with an axe in one hand and a side card in the other!"

Yang Zaixing shouted happily to the back.

Immediately after that, he jumped off the war horse, pulled out the axe on his waist, and took off the side cards with his hand, just one hand with an axe and the other side card, standing on the grave of the saint and starting the dance, and around them, those soldiers dismounted one by one with the same joy and picked up the side cards and axes, standing on the graves that the Confucian family had accumulated for thousands of years, and started dancing towards the Xianyuan City in front of them. There were also those trumpeters and drummers, who were blowing and beating hard, and the scene was very lively, and there was a festive atmosphere against the background of flames and smoke.

As for the Yan Sheng Gong......

What else can the poor Yan Sheng Gong do?

On the city wall, he saw these rough soldiers, just standing on top of their ancestors, trampling wantonly, waving the axe in his hand and dancing that weird dance, and then the scene of the last 100,000 people in Kaifeng Yujie Axe Dance also appeared in his mind like a nightmare. At this moment, if you want to say that these rough people who are jumping on the grave will not dig up the ancestral grave for him, this Yan Shenggong himself doesn't believe it, they even dare to sweep the imperial city, let alone his ancestral grave, and he can't really let the ancestral grave be dug up after all.

Soon the boxes of gold and silver that were sent out of the city were exchanged.

In fact, 200,000 pieces of gold and silver is not a small amount, especially the vast majority of the money sent by Yan Sheng Gong is silver.

At this time, one or two pieces of silver were almost three times, that is, two thousand dollars, and the price of silver fluctuated throughout the Northern Song Dynasty, but it was between one thousand and three thousand, most of the time it was two thousand dollars, the lowest was not less than one thousand, and the highest was three thousand and five when Jingkang, of course, it was to make up silver for the masters of the Jin Kingdom, which could not be regarded as a normal situation.

The Southern Song Dynasty was directly promoted to a level.

After all, at that time, it had become a necessary task every year to send silver to Uncle Jin Guo, so the highest record once exceeded 5,000, and 3,000 was already the most common situation.

In the end, Wang Yue harvested more than three tons of silver.

After all, the problem of silver impurities is serious at this time, and this problem must also be taken into account.

Fortunately, after the gold and silver arrived, Wang Yue finally let go of Confucius underground, and then took his harvest to fulfill his promise and evacuated Xianyuan, leaving Yan Shenggong with a ruined temple and mansion, and then the ancestral tomb that was trampled into a mess. After weeping in front of the unrecognizable tomb of Confucius, Yan Shenggong began to go south without hesitation with hatred and anger, to the Emperor Taishang, to the civil and military officials in Jiangnan, and to the gentry of the world to complain about Wang Yue's crimes.

Then he called on the gentry of the world, the princes of the gun, to gather under the banner of the emperor, and fight to the end for the old era of the lord and the sage.

Of course, this is what Wang Yue wants.
