Tokyo, Todo.

Li Ruoshui, the servant of the Ministry and the acting Kaifeng Mansion, is making a work report at the moment: "Your Majesty, the ministers have rearranged the armor and arrested the fine work in various chambers. He also cooperated with the Ministry of Rites to close the Sifang Pavilion and prohibit Shi Yuangong from contacting the outside world. However, Zhu Guoxiang has lived in Tokyo for several years, and Zhu Ming has many old times in the court, so it is really difficult to find out who is secretly collaborating with thieves. ”

Geng Nanzhong said angrily: "In the past two or three days, more than ten barracks in the city have received bewitching words from thieves. Meticulous work is so rampant, can't you catch any of them? ”

"Food is scarce, people's hearts are fluctuating," Li Ruoshui said, "The minister suspects that many soldiers and people, even if they find out about the fine work, will choose to deliberately cover up, so it is extremely difficult to investigate." ”

Geng Nanzhong became more and more dissatisfied: "You, the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, can't even catch a few fine works, what use can you have?" ”

Li Ruoshui didn't give Geng Nanzhong any face, and immediately went back: "The inspection is not the responsibility of Kaifeng Mansion, please let the Imperial City Division handle it." ”

Whether it is the Imperial City Division of the Song Dynasty or the Jinyi Wei of the Ming Dynasty, it is not possible to be powerful by hanging a name, it must have a large number of grassroots clerks.

The composition of the soldiers of the Imperial City Division is the "Eight Chambers Appearance", that is, from the Eight Chambers of the Sun, Tianwu, Longwei, and Shenwei.

After these soldiers were elected to the Imperial City Division, they were no longer subordinate to the Imperial Division.

The Imperial City Division was originally held by eunuchs or military generals, and later it was stipulated that eunuchs could not be touched. But Song Huizong broke all the rules, first let the eunuch promote the Imperial City Division, and then let Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, take this position.

Zhao Kai is like his father, he is engaged in artistic creation all day long, how can he take care of the army?

The Imperial City Division Forbidden Army, which is thousands of sizes, can't eat more than 2,000 people on empty salaries. If it weren't for some of the imperial city soldiers, who were also responsible for serving as the emperor's palace guards, I am afraid that there would only be a few hundred people left.

After Zhao Huan succeeded to the throne, he immediately removed Zhao Kai from his position as the Imperial City Division.

At the same time, he also distrusted those soldiers of the Imperial City Division, and re-selected from the newly recruited forbidden army of the Imperial City Division. Although 2,000 were selected, all of them were used as palace guards, and there was no manpower responsible for espionage in the capital at all.

After being reminded by Li Ruoshui, Zhao Huan said: "If I want to revitalize the Imperial City Division, the number of soldiers must be expanded to 5,000. ”

The ministers did not pick up the stubble, this matter was too sensitive, and it involved political struggle.

Because the power of the Imperial City Division is too great, in principle, it can govern the front division of the palace and the Kaifeng Mansion, and no one can figure out who Zhao Huan will put in charge.

Sure enough, Zhao Huan asked: "Sun Zhen is not worthy of being promoted by the Imperial City Division, can Zhu Qing be recommended by talents?" ”

This position is a hot potato, and it is difficult to investigate the city.

But Geng Nanzhong still couldn't resist the temptation and wanted to push his cronies up: "Zhou Yiwen, the secretary of Dali Temple, can be reused!" ”

Li Ruoshui immediately objected: "Zhou Yiwen can write poems and lyrics, but even the judgment is confused, how can he have the ability to raise the Imperial City Division?" The minister recommended the official department member Wailang Yellow Turtle Year! ”

Wu Min said: "Everyone can do it, but not in the Year of the Yellow Turtle." Zhu Thief is too punctual in Puzhou, and Huang Guinian is his subordinate official, and I heard that the two have a very personal relationship. Let the Yellow Turtle Year raise the Imperial City Division, I'm afraid that the Imperial City Division is also full of meticulous work. ”

Huang Yaoshi was vetoed like this.

Zhao Huan asked other ministers again, but no one was willing to touch their hands, so Zhou Yiwen was driven to the shelves.

What kind of person is Zhou Yiwen? Tokyo City is broken, and the gold is directly reduced!

At the end of the imperial meeting, Li Ruoshui left in a huff.

Li Bangyan sat in the carriage, unabashedly his words and deeds, and greeted with a smile: "Qingqing, come up and talk." ”

Li Ruoshui didn't bother to avoid suspicion and went straight into Li Bangyan's carriage.

When the other ministers saw it, they couldn't help but look sideways, and the acting Kaifeng Mansion Yin was actually mixed with Li Bangyan.

In fact, the two have had conflicts before.

At that time, Cai Tiao monopolized power, and Li Bangyan, as the right minister, had no power, so angry that he wanted to resign and run to Zhu Ming.

When the resignation report was typed, Li Ruoshui came to Li Bangyan and persuaded: "The minister should do things with the Tao, and he can't stop it." Although this is the teaching of the sages, your Excellency has won a good reputation, but it has caused traitors to suffer the people. You should stay in the center, recommend the talented, and sweep away the filth...... Balabala. ”

criticized and dissuaded, and said that Li Bangyan was very impatient, and the two quarreled because of this.

It can be seen that Li Bangyan's reputation is not bad, and he is actually pinned on high hopes by the upright minister.

Not only Li Ruoshui, but even Li Gang, Qin Hui, He Su and others also hoped that Li Bangyan could set things right.

It's a ridiculous joke!

The carriage was slowly moving forward.

Li Bangyan said: "Do you want to bring Qingqing's family here?" The Jin people are ravaging Zhaozhou, and it is really dangerous there. ”

"No, they've already moved into town." Li Ruoshui didn't have a good airway.

Li Ruoshui's hometown is in Zhaozhou, and now it has been robbed by the Jin people.

It is precisely because of this incident that Li Ruoshui hates the "Lianjin faction".

In history, Li Ruoshui was ordered to be executed by Yan Zonghan because he reprimanded Yan Zonghan and refused the Jin people's solicitation many times, and should be the most miserable civil official of the Northern Song Dynasty.

In addition to the integrity of facing the Jin people, Li Ruoshui is also well-known for one thing, he witnessed Zhao'an Song Jiang and wrote poems and satirization.

Shiyun: "Last year, the Song River started in Shandong, and the city was invaded during the day. Murder is like nine times, and the news is miserable. The big book of yellow paper flew in, and thirty-six people worshiped the lord. The fat pawn was arrogant, and the scholar and girl were stunned. This year, Yangjiang started from Hebei, and the battle formation was based on the previous work......"

Whether it is Songjiang in Shandong or Yangjiang in Hebei, they are all murderous giants, but they have become officials and are treated very well.

Li Bangyan said tentatively: "What does Qingqing think of Zhu Thief? ”

Li Ruoshui asked expressionlessly: "Your Excellency is already Zhu Chenggong's person, right?" ”

"Huh." Li Bangyan neither admits nor denies it.

Li Ruoshui said: "I have a subordinate official Huang Guinian, who worked with Zhu Chenggong in Puzhou, and he privately admired Zhu Chenggong. At the beginning of His Majesty's accession to the throne, I made dozens of suggestions, although none of them were adopted, but I was promoted to the rank of servant. Your Majesty has the grace of promoting me, and it stands to reason that I should repay the country with death. But there are some things that are more important than being loyal to the monarch and serving the country! ”

Li Bangyan said: "The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light." ”

Li Ruoshui nodded: "I will help Na Zhu successfully capture Tokyo, and then commit suicide and martyrdom, so that you will have both loyalty and righteousness." ”

"Why not!" Li Bangyan exclaimed.

Li Ruoshui sneered: "People like you can't understand it. ”

The two went to Li Bangyan's mansion, and Li Ruoshui sent someone to invite the Yellow Turtle Year as well.

came over together, as well as Qian Boyan, who was the same as Li Ruoshui, who was also a servant of the ministry.

In historical facts, Song Jiang, after descending and rebelling, was hunted and killed by Qian Boyan. Qian Boyan also recruited more than 100,000 thieves in Shandong, so he was transferred to the center for meritorious service, and was known as "the head of Zhongxing Shepherd". Whether it is leading troops to fight a war or governing a place, this person is quite talented.

"Just a few of us?" Qian Boyan asked.

Li Bangyan said with a smile: "I have another henchman who will know when the time comes." ”

Huang Guinian said: "When Marshal Zhu was in Puzhou, he had great ambitions, and he will definitely be able to rebuild Kyushu in the future. We can make an alliance and welcome Marshal Zhu into the city! ”

"It's a pity that there are no soldiers in my hands." Qian Boyan said.

Li Ruoshui said: "In these few meetings of the capital hall, the planters no longer make suggestions, and they should be dead to the emperor." Marshal Zhu is an in-law in the seed division, and he has a heavy army in his hands, so he can contact him to start an incident. ”

"Who's going to persuade?" Li Bangyan asked.

Huang Gui Nian Mao then recommended himself: "I came forward to persuade you, if you are arrested by the seed master, you will not be implicated." ”

"Okay, please, Your Excellency!" Li Bangyan said happily.

Li Ruoshui asked, "Who can talk to Uncle Zhang?" ”

Qian Boyan said: "Sun Fu is a native of Haizhou, and there are thieves in his hometown, so he wants to end the chaos as soon as possible. Zhang Shuye used to be a taishou in Haizhou and had a relationship with Sun Fu's brother, so he could let Sun Fu persuade Zhang Shuye. ”

The Liujia Divine Soldiers guarded Tokyo, which was made by He Su and Sun Fu.

This person seemed to be dumb and incompetent, but they really had no choice but to rush to the doctor, because at that time Tokyo had run out of food and grass.

Afterwards, He Su and Sun Fu all committed suicide and martyrdom.

That night, the Year of the Yellow Turtle went to visit the seed master: "May I ask the seed capital, can this Tokyo city still be guarded?" Can the golden people really help to suppress the thieves? ”

"Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven." Ambiguity among the planters.

Huang Guinian said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the species all want to defend, and the soldiers under his command don't want to fight anymore." ”

There was no answer from the planter, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

In the past few days, a large number of notes have appeared in the barracks of the plantation army.

Many soldiers of the family army were released by Zhu Ming and returned to their hometowns, and they all remembered Zhu Ming's kindness.

What's more, the daughter of the seed family also married Zhu Ming, and at the current crisis, the seed family army regarded Zhu Ming as an uncle.

Since it's my own uncle, what else is there to fight?

How good it is to help my uncle fight the world!

This kind of change in the morale of the army can be perceived by the planters.

On the day when the thieves attacked the city, I don't know how many soldiers defected, and there was no way to restrain them in the division.

And the various operations of the faint monarch and traitorous ministers have also made the breeders discouraged, and now there is a mood of breaking the jar and breaking it.

Whoever you love, Lao Tzu is lying flat.

If a soldier wants to surrender to a thief, it is difficult for him to control it, and it is not considered disloyal to his master.

Huang Guinian said: "On the day Marshal Zhu attacked the city, please tie a scarf on your left arm to avoid hurting your own people." Uncle Zhang's army also has a lot of anyway, and Your Excellency doesn't want to fight with the Shandong soldiers, right? ”

The planter was noncommittal, and seemed to be still considering.

Huang Guinian was relieved and smiled: "Farewell!" ”

"No." Said the planter.

It's done!

Sun Fu also found Uncle Zhang: "Brother Ji Zhong, the army's heart is unstable." ”

Zhang Shuye was already as big as a fight, and the Shandong soldiers he brought were complicated, and he was discriminated against by the Tokyo soldiers in various ways.

Although after he returned to take charge of the troops, the treatment of Shandong soldiers improved a lot, but he had already separated the soldiers. In the past few days, there have been notes left by fine works, and the various departments of the Shandong soldiers are ready to move, and a spark can ignite a powder keg.

Especially Sun Lie and Song Jiang, when Zhu Ming attacked the city, they would 100% turn against each other.

"Brother Ji Zhong, if the Jin people really helped the imperial court repel the Zhu thief, what would it be like at that time?" Sun Fu asked.

Zhang Shuye said: "If the Zhu thief is not beheaded, he will definitely retreat to Nanyang and Hanzhong with the remnants of the army, and the imperial court will be able to recover Lianghuai and Shaanxi at most, and he will make a comeback after a year and a half." Zhang Xiaochun and Yang Weizhong of Taiyuan will be denounced as traitors by the imperial court, and Taiyuan will inevitably fall into the hands of the Jin people. The Jin people are brutal and greedy, and if they get Taiyuan and Zhongshan, their appetite will become bigger and bigger. At that time, the country will not be a country, and the people will not know how many people will live. ”

"What is Ji Zhong still hesitating about?" Sun Fu asked.

Whether it is a seed teacher or Uncle Zhang, in fact, he does not want to be a thief.

What made them change their minds was not the persuasion of Huang Guinian and Sun Fu, but the fact that the army had gradually gotten out of control.

It's easy to say if it's a siege by the Jin people, but it's a Han rebel army outside!

If you are not of a different race, why change the dynasty?

The Shaanxi and Shandong soldiers in the city of Tokyo, their hometowns are in the midst of war, and they themselves are hungry and discriminated against in Tokyo. Under such circumstances, who the would want to fight for the emperor?

What's more, Generalissimo Zhu was very benevolent to the Shaanxi soldiers, and he was born in the rebel army with the Shandong soldiers, so the soldiers of Shaanxi and Shandong surrendered without any psychological burden.

The soldiers all want to surrender, what is the use of the main general who wants to fight?

Sun Fu said: "You can tie a scarf on your left arm, no matter what color you want, and the person who ties a scarf on your left arm is your own person." ”

Uncle Zhang sighed at night, he had always boasted of being a loyal minister, but who knew that he would become a traitor when he was old.

But the emperor has changed back and forth, and the traitorous ministers are fighting for power and profit, and they are really powerless to return to heaven.

Li Bangyan is not much better, and his work is not reliable at all.

I don't know who spread the rumors, but before Zhu Ming had time to attack the city, the "left arm scarf as a number" spread in Tokyo.

First of all, many civil officials prepared scarves early.

Gradually, the nobles also knew.

Then came the merchants and the servants of the household, and then the scholars and the common people.

The sergeant of the army, because of the secrecy of the generals, was kept in the dark, and he had to hear about it from the people.

Every household, a piece of cloth was prepared, waiting for the day of the siege to be tied to the left arm......

(After taking the medicine, I lost my energy and wanted to doze off, and I was in a daze all day.) The update time is changed to 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., trying to ensure that it is released on a regular basis. ）
