When Zhu Ming took Hanzhong, the 800-mile rush had already been sent to Tokyo.

Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty was celebrating the completion of Genyue, personally wrote the "Imperial Genyue Record", and asked hundreds of officials to compose poems to congratulate, so that Dasheng Mansion composed new music to play.

It was originally a depression in the northeast corner of the castle, and it was originally full of houses and shops, and the 150-meter-high mountain peak was filled in.

There are as many as three mountain peaks, river streams, canyons, and lakes. Scattered all around, there are pavilions and pavilions, and there are even cottages.

Between the mountains and rivers, precious flowers and trees are planted all over. In the forest garden, rare birds and animals are raised. Strange stones, caves, pavilions...... There are too many things for the eye to take in.

Tong Guan, who was defeated in Hebei, is still hiding the truth, and good news keeps coming.

Now that Genyue has been completed again, there are great joys inside and outside, how can Song Huizong not be happy?

In the sound of ceremonial music, Song Huizong accepted the congratulations of hundreds of officials, and held a banquet for three days, as if he had reached the peak of his life.

"Eight hundred miles expedited, eight hundred miles expedited......"

Ordinary officials were not eligible to open it, and it was transferred to the Privy Council.

Zheng Juzhong, who was a privy envoy, thought that something big had happened in Hebei, and only when he got it did he know that it was sent by Hanzhong. Unwrapped and read carefully, his hands were trembling, and he walked outside before he finished reading: "Prepare the car...... Bring my palanquin! ”

Zheng Juzhong was old and sick, and he couldn't ride a horse anymore, so he rushed to the palace in a sedan chair.

Song Huizong is taking his internal and external favored ministers, princes and princesses to visit the newly completed Genyue.

The eunuch Li Yan rushed over: "Official, Zheng Shumi has urgent matters to see." ”

Song Huizong said with a smile: "Just let him play together." ”

Li Yan whispered: "It seems that there are anti-thieves again, and Zheng Shumi is very anxious. I still want to ask more clearly, and I was reprimanded by Zheng Shumi to report. ”

Another thief is making trouble?

Song Huizong suddenly felt a headache, how could the people not know that they were living in peace, and they had to rebel to find trouble for themselves!

After a short time, Zheng Juzhong was helped over and saw the emperor in a pavilion: "Your Majesty, Zhu Guoxiang, Zhu Ming's father and son, have rebelled in Yangzhou, and they have now stolen the three counties of Yangzhou. ”

"What, his father and son rebelled?" Song Huizong thought he had misheard.

Wang Hao was busy with the invasion of Liao and did not have time to accompany the emperor much.

Tong Guan, Cai You, and Tan Zhi, these favored ministers, also led troops in Hebei and never returned to Tokyo.

Song Huizong's side, in addition to the prince and princess at this time, were Liang Shicheng, Li Bangyan, Bai Shizhong, Zhang Bangchang, Zhao Ye and others.

Not only did the emperor not believe it, but the rest were also surprised.

Zhu Guoxiang is currently a Taoist official, and Zhu Ming is a repelled person, how can this combination rebel? How can it be reversed?

Zheng Juzhong presented an urgent report and said: "Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Jingxiang have no soldiers to fight, and now that the Zhu father and son are in turmoil, I am afraid that the place will be difficult to resist, please quickly recruit an elite of the Western Army to come back." ”

Song Huizong read it carefully, although he was extremely angry, he was not in a hurry, and only said: "You and Wang Hao will deal with it by themselves, gather heavy troops to kill the Zhu thief, and be sure to capture him alive and take him to Tokyo." I will interrogate them myself and ask them why they are ungrateful! ”

Zheng Juzhong was stunned for a moment, feeling that things were not good, the emperor had not realized the seriousness of the problem.

He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the Zhu family's father and son have already stolen the three counties of Yangzhou in ten months, and they must have been prepared for a long time. Once the army is in rebellion, it will be difficult for the local government to resist, and I am afraid that the whole of Hanzhong will be gone now. Please strike down the Liao army and transfer the elite back to quell the chaos! ”

"Don't be alarmist, how big can he be with two civil officials? Qing and Wang Hao can dispose of it. Song Huizong still didn't take it seriously, and even felt that Zheng Juzhong was using an excuse to stop the invasion of Liao.

Zheng Juzhong has always opposed the invasion of Liao, which has long made the emperor dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, this matter is not trivial, and it must be suppressed with all its might!" Zheng Juzhong said anxiously.

Song Huizong said impatiently: "Go and discuss with Wang Hao, I still want to visit Genyue." ”

Zheng Juzhong looked at the emperor stupidly, with an unbelievable expression, was this faint king's brain kicked by a donkey?

The eunuch Li Yan said, "Zheng Shumi, please." ”

Zheng Juzhong dragged his old and sick body away, he was already a traitor in the eyes of many people, and now he has become one of the few central ministers who are still sober.

Li Bangyan, Bai Shizhong, Zhang Bangchang, Zhao Ye and other close ministers looked at each other at this moment, wanting to persuade but did not dare.

Zheng Ju found Wang Hao to discuss, Wang Hao read the emergency report, and slapped the table angrily and said: "Zhu thief misunderstood me, the great cause of cutting Liao is at a critical time, what kind of rebellion are they making at this time?" ”

"If you don't cut down Liao, how dare they make trouble?" Zheng Juzhong didn't have a good airway.

Wang Hao said: "The front-line army cannot be withdrawn, and as soon as it withdraws, it will be scattered for thousands of miles!" ”

Zheng Juzhong said: "250,000 troops were sent before and after, and the total number of troops from Hebei and Shandong has reached 300,000. Your dispatch of twenty or thirty thousand elites back has no impact on the overall situation of Liao. ”

"Wait, wait." Wang Hao really didn't dare to move the front-line troops, others didn't know, he didn't know that Tong Guan was hiding his defeats?

Zheng Juzhong was furious: "How can you wait for this matter any longer? Wait for Sichuan to be gone! ”

Wang Hao said: "Shaanxi, Sichuan, Jinghu, and Jingxi can recruit troops and levy grain to block the dangerous pass, and trap the Zhu father and son in Hanzhong." After the victory of Liao, the elite of the Western Army will be sent to exterminate it! ”

Zheng Juzhong slapped the table and reprimanded angrily: "In order to defeat the king of Liao, this guy completely disregards the safety of the society, and the old man will definitely be impeached!" ”

"Then even if you impeach, the Hebei army will definitely not be able to be transferred back." Wang Hao was too lazy to say.

The two broke up unhappily, Zheng Juzhong wrote an impeachment note when he went home, and soon the rebellion of the Zhu family's father and son was known all over the court.

The ministers were extremely surprised by this, especially the upright ministers, who were heartbroken. Then, they united to impeach Wang Huang, saying that it was the traitors in the court who made trouble that forced the good Tanhualang to rebel.

Zhu Ming has defeated Hanzhong, and the gang of people in the DPRK and China are still arguing.

Zheng Juzhong, in the name of the Privy Council, ordered the local officials to recruit troops and levy food, be sure to occupy dangerous passes, and block all strategic passages.

Once Hanzhong is blocked, the Zhu family father and son will become turtles in the urn.

After more than ten days, two urgent reports were sent one after another.

One was sent from Jingnan Road, and they realized afterwards that Zhu Ming was in Xingyuan Mansion, and the local officials knew that Jinzhou had been lost.

One was sent from Shaanxi, saying that a businessman had sent news that Hanzhong had been taken by Zhu Thief.

Wang Hao finally couldn't sit still, so he invited Zheng Juzhong to a meeting, and even invited Zhao Shu, who raised the Taoist temple.

A few years ago, 100,000 Lu Nanyi rebelled, although 30,000 Western troops were transferred to suppress it, but the real commander was the civilian official Zhao Shu.

This person is handsome and talented, knows military affairs, and could have been a secretary of the military department, but was squeezed out by Tong Guan to manage the Taoist temple.

Wang Hao didn't have any grudges against Zhao Yu, the shelf was very low, and asked, "I don't know if Zhao Longtu has a good way to quell the chaos?" ”

Zhao Shu said bluntly: "There is no other way than to transfer the Western Army back, and the local army is not available." ”

Wang Hao asked again: "Hebei to Hanzhong, the road is far away, and the Western Army will not be able to come back for a while. If you lead the Sichuan soldiers and horses, can you exterminate the Zhu thief? ”

Zhao Shu replied: "If I go to Sichuan, I can only ensure that Shu is not lost." ”

"That's enough," Wang Hao said, "first keep the land of Yizhou, then the Zhu thief will not be able to expand the army on a large scale, and the food will definitely not be enough." In this way, you can pass through Sichuan, Jinghu and Jingnan Road, and you can dispatch troops, horses, money and food from all over the country at will. If you can, you can't suppress it, at least until next summer. ”

"Next summer?" Zhao Yu exclaimed.

Wang Hao asked, "Is it difficult to do?" ”

Zhao Shu sighed: "I can only try to maintain it." ”

Wang Hao arched his hand and said, "Please! ”

The three of them also summoned the military department and the household department to discuss the detailed strategy.

Then it was found that the biggest problem in exterminating the Zhu thief was the lack of money and food to recruit troops in the imperial court.

Wang Hao was ruthless and decided to thoroughly promote the new miscellaneous tax of economic money to all prefectures and counties across the country.

At the same time, the husband was exempted from money, including 10 million yuan looted by the people.

While everyone was discussing, a subordinate official sent a message.

After reading it first, Wang Hao sat on the chair in a daze, and said with a sad face: "The official family will definitely be angry, and it will not work if it is not transferred back to the Western Army." ”

Zheng Juzhong snatched the text, this thing is a printed matter, I don't know how much it has been printed and spread all over the world.

I saw that it read: "Begging for a single husband Zhao Jiyu"——

"I heard: gather people for home, gather for the country, gather for the country and have the world...... It is the country of the world, and the people are the only one. The emperor of the husband is also the king of the people......"

"There may be a holy king, who does not benefit from his own interests, but makes the whole world benefit from them; Don't take one's own harm as harm, but let the whole world release its harm......"

"Or there may be a virtuous monarch, Chen Qigang discipline to control the country, and to rejuvenate the people with politics and religion...... Light and thin, well-cultivated, politically harmonious, to the world to promote peace......"

"Today, there is a lone husband Zhao Ji, who will return all the benefits of the world to himself, and all the harm of the world to the people. Is this a gentleman? That's just the way it is...... expelled the virtuous and erected a party monument; Appoint treacherous evil, and greatly promote flowers and stones...... Peel off the bones and suck the marrow, scatter the world, and serve the lewdness of one person. The Bianliang palace is majestic, and the wood and stone have to be crowned princes; The people's livelihood in Yunai withered, and Li Shu was reduced to a dog and horse...... The people are busy all day long, and they are not satisfied at one time; All the people are diligent and diligent, and there is no overnight warm-up...... Therefore, the world is tired, people are resentful, China is boiling, and heaven and earth are hanging upside down. First there is the worry of Fang La, and then there is the trouble of Song Jiang, the rich are uneasy about their lives, and the poor are not fortunate to die......"

Mencius said that the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light. I eat the people, and I dry all day long, and I can't bear the people to fall into fire and water, and I can't bear the people suffering from hunger and cold. Today, he raised a three-foot sword, led a million soldiers, raised the banner of righteousness and swore to punish a single husband to settle down and settle down the country, and sweep away the traitors to comfort the living...... The notice is in the sea, and the salty envoy knows about it. ”

It wasn't until a few days later that Song Huizong saw this article, because none of his close ministers dared to use it to anger the emperor.

Song Huizong tore the text to shreds, the whole body trembled with anger, and said angrily: "Traitor, traitor, how can this be reasonable!" Traitor...... Bring all the Western Army back and wipe out those two traitors quickly! ”

Wang Hao knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the Western Army cannot be fully withdrawn, otherwise the situation in Hebei will be difficult to manage." can only transfer back 20,000 or 30,000 Western troops, and then order local recruits, with the Western Army as the mainstay, supplemented by the Xiang Army, and still be able to exterminate the Zhu thief. ”

"Then transfer 30,000 Western troops back, and give the order immediately, I can't wait for a moment!" Song Huizong roared.

(Lao Wang's ancient text is not good, I have been searching my stomach for a long time, I can only write this kind of thing, everyone will just look at it.) I didn't add anything today, I can't hold it anymore, and I'll talk about it tomorrow. ）
