Chapter 297: The Traitor's Crime Is Unforgivable
In this way, Yue Fei became the peasant representative of the four people's representatives in Tangyin County......
"Then I want to ask Representative Yue, do you think the Emperor Taishang's treason charge is established?"
Wang Yue said with interest.
"This depends on whether the Emperor Taishang really contacted the Jurchens and invited the Jurchens to invade the south, the King of Zhongshan just said that he caught Lu Yundi and said, but what is the truth of the matter, at least I and other people are not clear, what the King of Zhongshan needs is to come up with enough evidence, and even the Four People's Assembly will investigate this, and the Four People's Congress must be impartial, and neither the official nor the emperor can be biased in this matter."
Yue Fei said.
"What if the evidence is conclusive?"
Wang Yue asked.
Yue Fei hesitated.
"If so, then it is indeed a traitor, and the traitor, even the emperor, is unforgivable."
He finally said resolutely.
"Then I can tell you that the evidence of this matter is conclusive, and even the emperor has no intention of hiding anything, because not only did he really invite the Jurchens to go south, but I have just received information that he has sent King Kang north again. Although the banner is to envoy Goryeo, but in fact, Goryeo has surrendered to the Jurchens a month ago and called the ministers to pay tribute, it is estimated that it will not be long before all parts of Hebei will have to enter martial law, because you will see King Kang Zhao Gou leading the Jurchen army south. ”
Wang Yue said.
Zhao Gou set off in Mingzhou......
With the mistake of the Lu Yundi incident last time, Wang Yue certainly would not ignore the information about Mingzhou, because the two Shenzhou had already been captured, Zhao Gou and Qin Hui had to hire two more 5,000 sea ships, plus the six 2,000 sea ships that returned this time to set off together. Moreover, the great painter did not just contact the Jurchens, according to the information heard by the secret agents in Zhoushan, it seems that there was also an official who secretly went to the Wa State, and it is very likely that he tried to contact the Wa State, and at this time the commercial exchanges between Mingzhou and the Wa State were very frequent.
There were even a large number of Song Dynasty merchants living in the Wa Kingdom.
Hakata on the island of Kyushu has a Song settlement, in fact, some of the Japanese slaves that Wang Yue currently uses come from these Song Dynasty maritime merchants.
Of course, a large number of Japanese merchants also went to Mingzhou, and it was even rumored that there were Japanese people who specially carried women to the coast of the Great Song Dynasty to seduce men, and they were all young and beautiful, and it is said that there was no shortage of famous families, not to say that they were deceived into getting on the ship and arrested, they only needed to leave noble seeds, and this kind of Sino-Japanese people-to-people exchange was called Du Chong.
This is recorded in the notes of the literati of the Song Dynasty.
As for the purpose of the great painter, it is difficult to say.
Maybe it was just to strengthen trade, or maybe he hoped that a pirate would attack Dengzhou, or maybe it was for his dream, after all, he still had illusions about asking for no worries, and the most important stop in the sea route map that Wang Yue planned for him back then was the Wa Kingdom, in short, at this time, a messenger sent by a great painter was secretly going to the Wa Kingdom.
And there are.
The great painters also sent envoys to the Western Xia.
Although Li Qianshun silently endured the pain of losing his son, it is also false to say that he has no hatred for Wang Yue, saying that he is just this one son, although he is still young, maybe he will be able to regenerate in the future, but at least so far his only heir was scared to death by Wang Yue's salute, and was forced to bury in Kaifeng, to say that he has no hatred in his heart is nonsense. And the great painter obviously wanted to take advantage of this to restore the past New Year's coins, and even increase some of them, in exchange for Li Qianshun's attack after the start of the war, so as to contain the armies in Shaanxi.
Nor can it be said to be containment.
The armies of Shaanxi will definitely not really take the initiative to join the battlefield, and the Jurchen attack will not go to Hedong, so all the great painter needs is Li Qianshun to send troops to feint, so that the armies in Shaanxi will have an excuse to stay.
This messenger is public.
The great painter must send an envoy to inform the subject country of Western Xia for such a thing, but the envoy kept it secret on the way to pass through Shaanxi, and after arriving in Xingqing, he publicly assumed the posture of an envoy.
And ......
The great painter has really done his best for the decisive battle between him and Wang Yue.
He also recruited part of the Tusi army in Guizhou, that is, Tian Yougong of Sizhou, who respected him very much, and had entered the court before, and after he crossed to the south, Tian Yougong specially went to Zhenjiang to meet him, which is also the strongest in Guizhou Tusi at present.
In short, the great painter was desperately trying to win over helpers during this time.
Yue Fei was silent.
Obviously, he still has no feelings for the great painters......
Loyal and righteous!
Naturally, there is resistance to Wang Yue, the current Cao Cao, and Wang Yue can not change the fact that he is a traitor who is ready to usurp the throne.
"Representative Yue, I don't want to say anything more, but I have to remind you that what you need to be loyal to is this country and not a certain monarch, the country is not equal to the emperor, the emperor is only the ruler of the country, and all the people in the world are the real masters of the country."
Wang Yue said.
"Xie Zhongshan's teachings."
Yue Fei said.
In this way, he embarked on a journey to the capital.
He, together with the other ****, will escort a hundred cavalry to Kaifeng.
Next, they still need to undergo various tests, although Wang Yue is to let the cavalry escort to prevent the local gentry from bribing them, but this is definitely useless, after Kaifeng, they can't be put under house arrest after all, someone who wants to buy them will always get a chance.
Then it's up to them to hold on.
At this time, the election of the representatives of the four people in various places was also in full swing, and teams went to all the counties under the current control of the imperial court to quickly gather local men in each county, and then find all kinds of things to take advantage of to draw lots. Walnuts are not prescribed, in fact, local conditions are adapted, and what is suitable for finding is used, walnuts, apricot pits, and even soybeans are said to be used, in short, it is to make a bunch of such things, dye one of them red, and then take it out within the countdown time.
The vast majority of the peddlers and pawns elected in this way, the mud-legged people have been transformed into representatives of the four peoples representing all the people in the world.
The Confucian scholars from all over the country were angry at the ......
The percentage of them selected is very small.
Originally, if you want to simply count the scholars, they are at least a quarter of the representatives, but Wang Yue's soldiers are not only scholars, even the disabled thieves are tied with them, anyway, there are many soldiers in the world, or are there many disabled thieves with the army? And Wang Yue's explanation is also very simple, these disabled soldiers are all disabled for the country, they have lost their ability to work, they can neither be regarded as farmers nor craftsmen, of course, they can only be classified as soldiers, and they are all soldiers, not only soldiers, but also national soldiers!
It makes perfect sense that Confucianism is juxtaposed with them.
If this is changed to the Western Zhou Dynasty, people like them are not qualified to be on a par with others.
People are the people.
Wasn't the original warrior a samurai?
The source of the Spring and Autumn period is the warriors who followed the princes during the Western Zhou Dynasty, and they formed the core of the princes' armed forces as professional soldiers.
In short, these disabled veterans have greatly impacted the composition of the representatives of the scholars and the people, who should have been dominated by Confucianism, especially in Hedong, Shaanxi and other places, because of the perennial tug of war with the Western Xia, coupled with the continuous wars over the years, resulting in a large number of disabled soldiers among the people. Even like Taiyuan, who had experienced bloody battles before, it can be said that the number of such scholars far exceeded that of Confucianism, and in the end, not a single Confucian student was elected in the counties of Taiyuan Prefecture, all of them were disabled soldiers, and he learned that Zhang Xiaochun of the government was going to be re-elected.
But he was besieged by disabled veterans, and finally escaped with the protection of his own soldiers.
And the gentry in Hedong were also extremely angry, but in fact, they had the final say and begged to remain neutral, so that they did not dare to do anything after all......
Behind these disabled soldiers were 50,000 regular troops.
The 50,000 veterans of a hundred battles who had just triumphed from the battlefield of Western Xia provoked them to ask for no good fruit to eat.
In recent years, in Hedong, the arrogant soldiers in Shaanxi have raised their heads, and the soldiers are no longer as pure and good as they used to be.
On the contrary, Wang Yue's control area was dominated by Confucian scholars, and the proportion of scholars among the representatives of the people was higher......
After all, he has few disabled soldiers there.
This has to be said to be a real irony!
In this way, the representatives of the four peoples from all over the country were continuously elected, and then under the escort of the cavalry, they continued to rush to the capital, and the original Genyue in the capital was simply used as the residence of the representatives of the four peoples, and everything that could be sold in this huge garden in recent years has been sold by Zhao Huan. He had no money to maintain, and now his imperial court income was Jingxi Road and Jingbei North Road, as well as taxes from Gyeonggi Road, which were mainly used to pay salaries to court officials and support the forbidden army and palace guards under Liu Qiang.
It's not too tight.
The real gold-swallowing beasts of the Great Song Dynasty were the useless forbidden armies in the past.
Now that there is no more than the front division of the palace, those forbidden armies have long been revoked, and there are still those clans left, but most of the latter have gone to find his father, and they have just held a meeting to kick him out of the jade.
In short, a small court also has small benefits.
But even then, there is no point in defending Genyue.
Since it can't be maintained, instead of letting it decay, it's better to take advantage of the fact that it hasn't decayed at this time and sell everything that can be sold.
It just so happened that the Four Peoples Congress needed a sufficiently spacious place, so Zhao Huan's holy decree was in charge of the King of Zhongshan, and the venue and the delegates' residences were specially built in Genyue, which could be regarded as a waste utilization, and the poor great painter's life's work was destroyed by his son and Wang Yue together. Even the city walls have been ripped off, originally for civilians, the fairyland on earth that can only stand on the restaurant outside the city and overlook, now anyone who likes to enter it, and in the future it will be open as a park.
The Four People's Assembly and its ancillary buildings do not occupy much space.
The vast majority of the entire Genyue Palace area still maintains the old garden, and the current houses in Kaifeng City have not yet reached the point where they need to expand here.
