Chapter 214: Zhao Da Zhao Er's Journey of Atonement

Zhao Ji reused traitorous ministers, and the line of flowers and stones led to the people's misery.

Externally, he was repeatedly defeated, and internally brutally oppressed the people's fat and ointment to feed the increasingly deformed Bianliang City.

The Song army before Zhao Ji still had combat effectiveness, but after he was an official for decades, the Song army completely lost its combat effectiveness.

It can be said that the root of Jingkang's shame stems from Zhao Ji's oppression of the people of Qianshou.

As for Zhao Huan, he only wants to consolidate his power, and in the face of foreign invasions, he has always ceded land and sought peace.

Not to mention that he was expected to die in Sheji, he didn't even dare to fight.

Many people say that the shame of Jingkang is the bad luck of the royal family and ministers, and the loss of the common people is not big.

This is simply ridiculous.

Hedong, Hebei Province was slaughtered by the Jin people, and countless towns and villages were slaughtered, and the facilities in various places have already been destroyed.

Here in Bianliang City, there were originally almost 2 million people in the city alone, but after the Jin people retreated, there were only a few hundred thousand left.

Don't the people who died in vain count?

Zhao Huan didn't dare to fight with the Jin people, and whoever dared to fight with the Jin people would fight whoever he wanted.

If he changes his surname and surname, he can't say that others will still think that he is an official of the Jin Kingdom.

In order to satisfy the demands of the Jin people, not to mention the forcible robbery of people's property, they also let people tie up young women from house to house with ropes.

These women were sent to the gold camp outside the city to be enjoyed by the robbers, for fear that the robbers would be angry if they did not enjoy it well.

These women who were tortured by the Jin Army and died tragically are not to mention tens of thousands.

Don't these people's lives count?

Yue Fei was bent on saving these two bastards, and how to explain to tens of millions of dead souls if he really rescued them.

Although many tragedies in this world have been avoided because of Li Yunze's appearance, this is not a reason for Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan's father and son to be exonerated.

And Li Yunze is naturally unable to give them any high-end retirement treatment and enjoyment.

Located in Tongxu Town, about 100 miles south of Kaifeng Prefecture, there is a house outside the town.

No one knows who the owner of the house is, and no one has the curiosity to sneak over and peep in the winter.

The people around only knew that the house did not even go out at other times, except for the carts carrying vegetables and grains in and out.

The government officials did go to the door once, but no one dared to go there since.

The people of Tongxu Town would not know that the two former officials of the Great Song Dynasty were in this mansion at this time, receiving the punishment they deserved.

As soon as the sky was dark, the rooster in the yard began to crow, and Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan, who were under the same roof, opened their eyes.

Although their bodies were exhausted and their heads ached, they had to get up and put on their tattered clothes.

Father and son glanced at each other in the faint light, and then looked away.

When they first arrived, they didn't want to get up in such a cold weather, but if the chickens crowed three times and they didn't get up, the guards wouldn't come in and beat them, but they would cancel the meal for three whole days.

If you don't eat for a day, you may be able to bear it, but if you can't eat for three days in a row, you will have to sour water.

When they first came, Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan, father and son, also resisted, but they didn't get up, but the result was that they were starved for three days.

Hungry, they had to beg the guards for food, but no one cared for them.

Three days later, in the face of steamed buns and rice soup, the two former officials ate with a sigh and a snort, like a fairy delicacy.

Since then, they have never dared to lie in bed again.

The guards don't care about the identities of the two, these two people have only one identity here, Zhao Da and Zhao Er.

When they left the room, there were already guards in thick cotton clothes waiting for them.

The guards had sharp eyes like sharp blades. BIquGe.biz

The father and son, with their heads down, skillfully took out the bucket from the firewood room, and then went to the well in the yard to cooperate in fetching water.

On this cold winter morning, the cold wind has already blown the delicate faces of the father and son into old farmers who have been in the wind and rain all day long.

They shrunk their heads and fetched buckets of water with their frostbite-ridden hands until they filled several tanks in the firewood room.

After all this, the sky has completely brightened, and I can finally take a little rest.

At least they were able to enter the kitchen and burn wood to add fuel to the fire under the direction of the chef and provide food for the whole house.

Zhao Huan, who was squatting on the ground and stuffing firewood into the stove, looked down at his black hands, looked at the cuffs that had fallen patches, and couldn't help crying sadly.

From the decline of the dignified official family to the current point, Zhao Huan's heart is full of grievances.

finally cleaned up his mood, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Zhao Ji's gloating face on the side.

At this look, Zhao Huan's heart suddenly became cold.

He remembered the rules here in his mind, and he cried and complained that he would be punished for not being able to eat!

And the food that he was punished for will fall into Zhao Da's bowl.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Huan immediately couldn't breathe.

Sure enough, when eating breakfast, Zhao Huan's hungry stomach growled, but he could only hold the empty bowl and watch Zhao Da eat a full meal.

His heart was full of resentment, and he was thinking about how to find an opportunity to clean up Zhao Da.

Zhao Huan's mentality has always been like this, and it was the same when he was an official, he never looked for reasons in his own body, and pushed it on others if there was a problem, which is why he was able to replace twenty-six ministers in just over a year.

After breakfast, it is time to clean up the yard, clean up the garbage, mop the floor and remove the snow, etc.

Zhao Da and Zhao Er each have their own partitions, and whoever can't do it well has nothing to eat.

They also lost the generosity of eating 100 sheep in one meal, and they only had two meals a day, and they were often deducted. As for mutton or something, it can only be seen in the bowls of the guards, and it is good to be able to fill the bowls.

In the afternoon, I was able to return to my room after dinner.

But that's not the end of the story.

They were to write a confession in their room, to repent of their life as a disaster to the country and the people.

And there is an indicator of the number of words every day, if the number of words is not enough, there will be no food the next day.

There are special literary tests for testing, and the number of words must be up to standard, plus you can't deliberately write the number of words, so that you can be regarded as completely surviving such a day.

They didn't go to bed at night, they had to wash and sew their own clothes, and at the beginning, because they were unfamiliar, their hands were covered with blood blisters.

You usually don't have to wait until you're done with all of this before you can go to bed.

Then the next morning, the same hard days will continue again.

Midnight dreamed back, the father and son didn't know how many times they hugged their heads and cried, and their hearts had already turned Lao Jiu over and over again, and they didn't know how many times.

But whether it's pleading, complaining, resentment, regret, everything is useless.

They can only be imprisoned in this compound, day after day to atone for the evil things they have done, until the day when the oil runs out.

On the side of Bianliang City, Li Yunze, who has become a new official family, is arranging those exaggerated ministers.

Among the three stubborn diseases of the Great Song Dynasty, redundant officials, redundant soldiers, and redundant expenses, the most difficult to solve is redundant officials.

Because it is the scholars and doctors who control the world, even if they know that the redundancy is serious, they will not solve it, because they can't solve it themselves.

As for the official family, the official family without military power cannot do it, and those who have military power and do not have this heart cannot do it well.

There are too many officials in the Great Song Dynasty, and each family will have children and nephews, and they will also be officials. This forced the scholars and doctors to constantly expand their official positions, resulting in unclear powers and responsibilities, and a lot of confusion.

Zhao Ji reused traitorous ministers in order to facilitate him to seize power and enhance the control of imperial power, because he was obedient to traitors.

And the loyal ministers either look down on the official family, or go to pull the official sleeve and ask him to give an order to do something, and if he does not give an order, I will resign and leave.

Zhao Huan is even more exaggerated, in one year, he actually got twenty-six prime ministers out, and he was the first among the kings of the dead country.

In history, these three stubborn diseases of the Song Dynasty were all solved with the help of the blade of the Jin army.

Now that Li Yunze has driven out the Jin army, it is up to him to solve it.

His approach was a little rougher.

"Cai Jing, Gao Qiu, Cai You, Wang Hao, Li Bangyan, Cai Sui..."

The ministers of Zhao Ji's infinite scenery during his reign, whether they were in Bianliang City or in the local area, whether they were the chamberlains in the palace or the important ministers of the foreign courts, they were all included in the first batch of attack lists.

People were directly sent to the execution ground in line, even if Cai Jing was eighty years old, he couldn't hide.

Someone once interceded for Cai Jing, and the reason used was to respect the old man when he was old.

Li Yunze's response was, "Age is not a reason to avoid responsibility. Whether you are too old or too young, you have to pay for what you have done, otherwise you will not be able to calm down! ”

After that, it was naturally a raid, and all the family property except for Yulu was confiscated.

At the same time, the pursuit of the family since their birth is tantamount to completely cutting off the possibility of their entry and recovery.

At this time, it is natural that someone will come forward to intercede.

And Li Yunze's response was, "The prime minister's son is the prime minister, and this kind of thing is absolutely not okay with me." ”

When they enjoyed it, they all enjoyed it.

Now when you are unlucky, you can't forget them.

The raid is really shocking, for example, Cai Jing's house not only confiscated a large amount of materials, but also his luxurious life was exposed, which is even more staggering.

Cai Jing eats more than 100 dishes in a meal, and the kitchen is larger than other people's yards, and hundreds of people need to cook together just for dinner.

Dozens of sheep are used in one meal, which is not much more than the officials in the palace.

When the news came out, the people in Bianliang City, who lacked food and clothing, were furious.

On the day of Cai Jing's execution, hundreds of people rushed up and directly turned him into endless pieces.

There was no resistance to solving the ministers of the Huizong Dynasty, and no one shouted, 'The punishment is not a sergeant'.

After all, they have become water dogs, and everyone wants to kick them a few times.

Next, Li Yunze attacked the Lord and the faction, but he encountered a lot of resistance.

not only went to the palace favors, but also mobilized the students to engage in public opinion, invited the clans to intercede and so on.

But what greeted them was Li Yunze's ruthless iron fist!
