It is already the season when Zhao Ta enters Gyeonggi Road, and the autumn wind is bleak, and the leaves are yellow, fluttering and scattered.

At this time, a news from the white mountains and black waters in the northeast shocked the countries, the Jurchen Emperor Wanyan Aguta was assassinated and died in the west of Huining and the east of the grassland.

It is said that the Liao State sent assassins to do it!

Wanyan Wu begged to buy the throne in a hurry, the chaos in the court began to appear, and the differences continued, roughly divided into two factions, one faction advocated immediately sending troops to Beijing to capture Emperor Tianzuo to avenge Wanyan Aguda, and the other faction advocated strict defense to prevent the country from being attacked by the Liao State when the national mourning was born, as for revenge, the Liao State could not run away from it anyway, and it would be said when everything was stable.

The Liao State did not admit this matter, but sent heavy troops to defend the northeast line, Xiao Gan always knew about the soldiers and horses on the northeast road, and led the armies.

The relationship between the two countries immediately became a little strange.

But Zhao Ta knew that even if Xiao Gan was talented, it would not be too difficult for the Jurchens to break through the Liao defense line, but there were people in the Jin Dynasty who were dragging and dragging the pace of attacking the Liao State.

The rise of the Jin State is too fast, and the death of Wanyan Agu is a little early, which has changed the mood of some people, it turns out that although the Jin State is united externally, it is also divided into two factions internally, it is the Dubo Fierce faction and the National Prime Minister's faction, Wanyan Agu was killed, and Wanyan Wu begged to buy the upper position, so where to sit in the vacated Bo Jilie auxiliary political seat has become a problem at this moment.

In the current situation, the Jurchen banner of Wanyan Agu fell, and the Jin Dynasty was temporarily disordered, speeding up the attack on Liao, or delaying the attack on Liao for a few years, and avoiding the Fang La rebellion against the small country when the Liao was trapped, Zhao Ta could be regarded as having achieved his goal.

If the Jurchens attack Liao early, the Maritime Alliance will be gone, and if the attack on Liao is postponed, the Maritime Alliance will be a few years later, and no matter what, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty will be able to wear new clothes for a few more years......

Zhao Ta sat in the carriage, with a thick wool cushion in the car, and a small table, on which there were paper and pens and other things, especially a small bowl, with strong medicinal gas, and the bottom slag still existed.

The recital to Emperor Daojun was written as early as the return from the sea, which described in detail what happened before and after meeting the pirates, and when he arrived in Dengzhou, he was sent out quickly, and this time he returned to Beijing Ma Zheng and Hu Yanqing came with him, and the two of them wanted to ask for guilt.

At noon, the Tokyo City Gate was already in sight, and the vehicles were rolling in, and five hundred forbidden troops were guarding the surroundings, and the team was carrying the boxes stolen from Ximenqing's house in Yanggu County.

There was no one on the road, but except for the horse infantry forbidden army patrolling the inner and outer cities, no one knew that Zhao Ta had entered Tokyo.

After entering the city, Zhao Ta wrote another letter of invitation to the palace on the carriage, and then sat in the car to close his eyes and recuperate, just waiting to return home.

At this moment, I happened to pass by the street next to Dali Temple, and heard the noise outside, Zhao Ta opened the curtain and looked, but saw that there was a prisoner car coming from the other side, and it seemed that he was going to be escorted to Dali Temple Prison.

There were five or six prisoner cars, the body made a "squeak" screeching sound, and there were many escort officers around, led by officials from Dali Temple, and the official robes were not of low grade.

When the two teams meet, one runs vertically, the other crosses, and then they are sideways at the intersection, not one person or two people passing, the line is very long, there must be one side to give way, and wait for the other side to pass before leaving.

Zhao Ta didn't want to reveal his identity, and was just about to tell him to wait a little later, but he heard the official of Dali Temple led by that side snorted coldly: "Bold, what army are you from, you actually dare to rob the road of the prisoners in Dali Temple, and you don't know a little bit of the rules!" ”

The leader in front was naturally Zhou Xiao, the commander of the first battalion of the Dragon Guard, he opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he was afraid of this Dali Temple official, the military attache in the army has a low status, and the Dali Temple has great power, so he naturally can't say the other party, so he had to turn back to see Zhao Ta in the carriage.

Zhao Tan frowned in the car, originally thinking of stopping and letting the other party pass first, but he didn't expect the tone of this Dali Temple official to be too arrogant, but thinking about it, how could this kind of court official have a good face for the forbidden army.

He just wanted to give an order, but when he saw that the officials of Dali Temple over there saw that Zhou Xiao didn't speak for a moment, he became a little impatient, and said: "Don't hurry up and withdraw from the distance of five zhang, if there is an accident in the prisoner car, only you forbidden soldiers are asking!" ”

Zhou Xiao was immediately a little angry when he heard this, if he was a battalion commander like him before, he would naturally not dare to make any gestures, and he only promised a few times to pass the scene, but after experiencing the trip to Longyou, seeing real swordsmen, and following Zhao Ta all the way, there was an inexplicable change in both his temperament and mentality.

What's more, they are forbidden troops, and with them here, the prisoner car is the safest, how can there be an accident? Unless they're here to hijack the prisoner car, the Forbidden Army hijacks the prisoner car, which is really a big black pot.

Zhao Ta's face was also gloomy in the car, although he didn't go to the court, he knew more or less what the faces of these court officials were, but this kind of opening his mouth and buttoning his hat, not even a little decent rhetoric, is really rare.

"In the past!" Zhao Tan said lightly, he didn't want to let it go at the moment.

The military generals are divided, the civil officials are weak and the country is weak, this is a very difficult balance problem, but five hundred armored cavalry entered the city, even if the status of the forbidden army is low, as an official of Dali Temple, the first consideration should not be whether there is an important military situation?

Isn't the military situation greater than the prisoner's car? What's more, in Tokyo, the forbidden army is currently in trouble, and there will be problems with the prisoner car, either because they are used to bullying people on weekdays, or they have a holiday with the forbidden army, and they will find fault when they see it.

Zhou Xiao received the order at this moment, immediately straightened his chest, and said to the forbidden army behind him: "Go!" ”

When the official of the Dali Temple over there saw that the other party not only did not give way to retreat, but actually grabbed it, he immediately trembled with anger and shouted: "What do you want to do with the army? The blue sky and the white day, crashing into the prisoner car of Dali Temple, don't you really want to rob the prisoner! ”

Zhou Xiao ignored him, just drove forward, although the Dali Temple official screamed fiercely, but these soldiers and horses really passed by the road, and he had no choice.

The dragon guards all rode horses with guns and were dressed in armor, even if they were not running but riding normally, but the friction of guns and knives and the sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground also made the Dali temple officials and those escort officers frightened.

When the forbidden army was halfway through, Zhao Tan's carriage went to the intersection, and the Dali temple official saw the carriage and showed a look of surprise.

Originally, the dragon guards were all cavalry, and the carriage was not as high as the cavalry sitting on the horse in the middle, and under the protection of hundreds of cavalry, even if you looked carefully outside, you might not be able to see it.

The face of the official of Dali Temple was even more unsightly at this time, knowing that it was not the leader of the forbidden army in front of him who was in charge at all, and the person who really gave the order should be in the carriage.

He thought about it again and again, probably because he thought that the generals in the army, even those on the side of the two divisions, should ride horses, and most of the people who sat in the car were family members, but family members could have such a big pomp, but they were also people with status.

It's just that he always has resentment in his heart, what kind of place is Dali Temple, after the restructuring of Yuanfeng, adding people to add hands, the more you manage, the heavier the authority, even if it is the Yushitai and Liubu, these places also say that if you don't give face, you don't give it.

As for the forbidden army, Dali Temple has never let go of the eyes, this is not a level comparison at all, as soon as I thought of this, the Dali Temple official suddenly said: "Who is in the carriage?" Dare to drive the forbidden army indiscriminately, crash into the prisoner car, depending on the country's laws and military regulations! ”

Zhao Ta heard the words in the car and said to Ouyang Bei, who was driving the horse in front: "Stop." ”

Ouyang Bei reined in the carriage, the horse let out a long neigh, and the forbidden troops in front and behind also stopped.

Zhao Ta lifted the curtain of the car, looked at the Dali temple official with a sick face, and saw that this person was dressed in a fish bag, white and beardless, and looked like he was in his thirties, and he didn't recognize it.

He said lightly: "Since this king went to Longyou last year, how many months has he been to sea this year, and he hasn't been in Beijing for a long time in the second year, so no one knows it?" He actually ran in front of this king and commanded him, and his mouth was perverse! ”

The Dali temple official saw the curtain of the carriage open, vaguely revealing a person, not very old, look at the face does not know, is in the heart of suspicion, only listen to the carriage of people talking, although the distance is not close, but also vaguely listen to a few words, the more you listen to the face of the pale.

This is...... Is that one back?

He has never seen Zhao Ta, in fact, he entered the Dali Temple is also a matter of the past few months, originally served in the local government, since he made enough money, and then gritted his teeth and spent it all out, so he got a Beijing official position, this position is actually not very satisfactory to him, the authority of Dali Temple is heavy, but the oil and water are not as sufficient as imagined.

Although there is a lot of money in the family of the convict, whether it is to raid the house or wait for the family to take care of it, there are all entries, but at the moment, there are not so many convicts in the Great Song Dynasty, and how many of them can be officials at the moment have no way? If there is no background backer in Beijing, it is not even possible to release a seven-grade county order, and most of the officials who can be officials have already settled their own affairs when they have something, so there are not many cases tried throughout the year.

And the only few cases will also be exploited layer by layer, and in the end there are not too many that can fall into his hands, and it is a world of difference from being in charge of the local government, although he regrets it slightly, but after all, the official position has been promoted, which can be regarded as offsetting the two.

After he arrived in the capital, he naturally inquired about the people from all sides, and he had a good idea of what he must not provoke, and the king of Qi naturally could not be provoked, but he heard that this emperor was ordered to go out of Beijing on an errand, and he had not been in Beijing for a long time, so where would he think about the people in the carriage, and it was impossible for Gao Yu to take hundreds of cavalry on the street.

Except for the two divisions, he really didn't care about the rest of the forbidden army, after all, no matter how high the official position was, the rest were just big-headed soldiers, what kind of prestige did they dare to shake with him, the official of Dali Temple?

But right now, it's a hundred secrets, and I didn't expect this person to return to Beijing and actually bump into him.

The sweat on the forehead of the official of Dali Temple immediately came down, and even the cold sweat broke out on his back instantly, and he was wet, so he hurriedly turned over and dismounted.

Zhao Ta looked at him in the carriage over there, and said to the forbidden army on the side: "Tie up this person and throw it back to the Dali Temple, if Chen Chuixiang has any dissatisfaction, let him come to this palace and say." ”

The forbidden army was ordered to step forward immediately, at this time the Dali temple official had already stepped down, vaguely heard Zhao Ta speak, wiped a handful of sweat on his forehead, and was relieved in his heart, thinking that this punishment was also to blame, and he deserved it, this person was not as cruel as he said, if he changed his own place in the place, someone contradicted him, and it would be strange if he didn't smoke twenty whips first.

He was kidnapped and dragged away by the forbidden army, but he didn't forget to ask for flattery, and shouted: "The lower officials don't know that the prince has returned to Beijing, and he is very offended...... The subordinate thanked the prince for sparing his life, and he would go to the prince's mansion to worship and ask for his guilt another day. ”

Zhao Ta sat in the car, watching this person being dragged away, he couldn't help but sigh, the sycophants coaxed the dynasty, and the servants and servants were in power, where did these people have the ability to govern the country, not to mention the courage and courage of the backbone, in addition to being promoted in their minds, they were getting rich, and the people of Li were just weeds in their eyes, and they were afraid that they would not even want to flee when the country was in trouble.

He swept in front of him, and was about to lower the curtain, but suddenly his eyebrows raised slightly, and he looked forward again, and his eyes fell on the prisoner cart with the head on it.

I saw a flailed prisoner in the prisoner's car, with his hair disheveled, his eyes half-open and half-closed, and he didn't know whether he was unconscious or dying.

Zhao Ta couldn't see all his faces clearly, but he always felt a little familiar, so he said to Huang Gu at the front of the car: "Go and see the people in the prisoner car." ”

Huang Gu walked towards the prisoner car, where did the officers of Dali Temple dare to stop and avoid, he looked up and down in front of the prisoner car, and also felt a little familiar, but the hair covered half of his face, and he couldn't make out all his faces, so he asked a messenger next to him: "Who is in this car?" ”

The errand hurriedly reported a smile: "Shangguan, this is the order of Yanggu County, because he committed a serious crime of framing, he was sent to the capital to await trial." ”

Yanggu County Order? Huang Gu was shocked when he heard this, wasn't that thing in Yanggu County done seamlessly? How did you get escorted to Tokyo?

He hurriedly came back to report to Zhao Ta, Zhao Ta frowned slightly, is this the incident? It seems that he still underestimates the Ximen official, even if he is dead, he can still bring down the Yanggu County Order, but Ximen Qing has an official body, and he worshiped Cai Jing's godfather, if the Cai family gets the news, it is not difficult to turn over the case with a little force, as for the evidence that is not evidence, it is not so important to the Cai family.

Zhao Ta guessed the reason after a little thought, but he didn't know if Shi Wenkui, the commander of Yanggu County, had sold himself, after all, he hid his identity when he entered Yanggu, even if there were forbidden soldiers and horses to raid Ximenqing's home, but how could ordinary people know where it came from, let alone know who the person with the troops was.

But this Shi Wenkui is a smart person, if he doesn't recruit himself, he may save him if he gets the news, if he even confesses himself, then there is nothing to say, the left and the right are all dead ends, don't say anything about not killing the doctor, then it is all said that it is not a light killing of the doctor, it still depends on what you have done.

Zhao Ta looked back at the big box in the team, the stolen goods are here, this matter is really unreasonable, there is silver here, and the person who does things for himself over there is in the prisoner car, I can't see it!

Zhao Ta beckoned to the front, Zhou Xiao immediately rode over, Zhao Ta pointed to the prisoner car: "All of them are escorted to the military prison outside the city, and they are not allowed to look at anything and bring no people!" ”

Zhou Xiao was stunned, thinking to himself, how could he really hijack the prisoner car? But where did he dare to ask, he was about to give an order immediately, and Zhao Ta said coldly: "You shouted to the first battalion to guard the military prison together, even if Cai Jing is here, you are not allowed to look at it or take it away!" ”

Zhou Xiao was shocked when he heard this, shouted "yes", and went straight to the prisoner car.
