The puppet court of the puppet Song Dynasty in Zhending Mansion was disheartened from the beginning of its establishment.

At the beginning, they looked forward to Song Huizong returning from Hangzhou, and when they took Tokyo to restore the Great Song Sheji, they waited for an opportunity to go south to join the old Zhao family.

Anyway, there are few officials who think that this puppet small court can succeed.

Li Bao destroyed the Song Huizong regime, and Yang Zhi defeated the Western Xia. These two news spread to the north, and the puppet officials of Zhending Mansion were in a complicated mood, and finally had to face up to the new Ming Dynasty in Kaifeng.

Since last winter, some people have written secret letters to Zong Ze, claiming that they were forced to join the puppet regime.

And Zong Ze doesn't care about these guys, what kind of has they done before, anyway, let's stabilize them first. The wording of the reply letters was the same, claiming that as long as they helped the Ming Dynasty to destroy the gold, and when the Celestial Empire recovered the north, they would all be rewarded with great merit.

So in the past six months, Yue Fei and Li Qiong's actions have become more and more smooth.

As long as the Jin soldiers or puppet troops go out of the city, there will soon be a secret letter "saturated" to send, and Yue Fei and Li Qiong will set up an ambush and a dozen quasi-children. Not only officials, but also gentry and businessmen, all looking forward to their meritorious service in the new dynasty.

The Jin people were furious because of this, and they have killed many "Neiying", many of whom were unlucky people who were unjustly killed.

Through a series of killings, the number of people who dared to write letters to Zong Ze really decreased, but the resentment of the puppet court officials, gentry, and merchants increased day by day.

"The emperor ascends to the throne!"

The little emperor, who was less than ten years old, was supported by the eunuch to sit on the dragon chair.

This dragon chair is a one-to-one replica of the one in Tokyo, with a gold-painted dragon head on the brain and armrests. But the details are rough, they use copper alloy instead of gold, and the brocade on the backrest is also produced in Jinzhou, which was thrown out of eight streets by the original Shu brocade.

Originally, the officials were lying flat, and the puppet court rarely held court meetings, only on New Year's Day, winter solstice and other major festivals.

But in the near future, there will be a big battle, and Wanyan Zongwang must order it to be regularized.

Feasts, Regular Dynasties, Afternoon Dynasties, and Great Pilgrimages...... None of them should be missing, in order to show that the court of Zhendingfu is orthodox.

The little emperor sat on the dragon chair and yawned vigorously.

He also set up a seat with a curtain, and the puppet queen mother sat behind the curtain to listen to the government.

Huang Qianshan and Zhang Bangchang, as prime ministers on the left and right, stepped forward to report on their work in recent days, and the rest of the officials were looking forward to retiring from the dynasty and going home to make up for sleep.

Individual people who have a heart do not collect information in the court, they have their own information channels. At this time, those who dare to write secret letters to Zong Ze are really righteous people, and most of the officials choose to hide them first.

Just as the court meeting was about to end, Liu Yu suddenly came out of the ranks, held the wat board and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do!" ”

The little emperor was already asleep, lying crookedly on the dragon chair and drooling.

The puppet queen mother said: "Liu Qing said it. ”

Liu Yu said loudly: "Cui Dan, a member of the military department, collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and the evidence of the crime is conclusive. This person asked the house slave to send a letter to the Deng family rice shop in the manuscript city, and the merchant surnamed Deng sent someone to send a letter to the traitor Zong Ze to spread all the news of my Great Song Dynasty. Cui Dan has already confessed, he was instructed by someone to betray the country! ”

The puppet queen mother said casually: "You can handle this case according to the regulations." ”

Liu Yu's voice became even higher, almost shouting: "The person who commanded Cui Dan is in a high position, and I ask Your Majesty and the Queen Mother to decide." ”

The little emperor was woken up, mistakenly thinking that he was shouting to retreat from the court, and jumped off the dragon chair with his sleepy eyes.

The eunuch next to him rushed in a panic, hugged the little emperor to the dragon chair and sat down, and whispered: "Official, the court meeting has not dispersed yet." ”

The puppet queen subconsciously asked, "Which minister is it?" ”

Liu Yu shouted: "Dazai Huang Qianshan! ”

In the court, there was an uproar.

Even the puppet queen mother was stunned on the spot, and she didn't know what to do with it at all.

Huang Qianshan was stunned at first, and then shouted angrily: "Liu Yu, don't spew blood!" As the Great Song Dazai, I am already the head of the hundred officials, how can I still collaborate with the enemy and betray the country? What good can I do if I collaborate with the enemy? Could it be that he has gone to the pseudo-Ming, and can he still be the emperor? ”

Liu Yu said: "You are afraid that in this big war, the Song-Jin coalition army will be defeated, so you will collaborate with the enemy and betray the country to leave a way for yourself to retreat." Cui Dan has already written a confession, and every sentence says that he is instructed by you! ”

Huang Qianshan knew that it didn't work to talk to anyone, he walked towards Shi Liai with a wat board: "Mr. Shi, Liu Yu is ambitious, and he wants to frame me for losing my official position and resigning, and then he will be the prime minister himself." ”

Shi Liai is the mastermind of Wanyan Zongwang, and he is stationed in Zhending Mansion as a guest, and he is the one who can really influence the puppet court.

"This matter should be investigated strictly, and good people will not be wronged." Shi Liai said.

Immediately, Shi Liai waved his hand to the ceremonial officer, and the ceremonial official immediately announced his retirement from the court.

And Huang Qianshan was also invited to drink tea by Dali Temple.

Shi Liai walked out of the hall slowly, his face was calm as usual, but his heart was extremely angry.

He really wanted to assist Yan Zongwang to establish a great cause, migrate Xi people and Bohai people to enrich Youzhou, and first consolidate and digest the new territory, these are all suggestions given by Shi Liai.

According to Shi Liai's plan, he must raise the people for at least three years before he can raise troops to march south.

But the trend of the situation has gotten out of control, and Jin Ren is not obedient at all, and insists on doing something to shave his hair and obey the order. This caused Jin Guomin to be devastated, Shi Liai was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, and finally stopped shaving his hair and was easy to obey after repeated advice, but where can he recover the loss of people's hearts?

Shi Liai tried his best to remedy it, and persuaded Yan Zongwang to treat the people well and treat all ethnic groups equally in terms of policy. And it is necessary to postpone the southern expedition and wait until the north recovers its people's strength.

After Yan Zongwang verbally agreed, in the blink of an eye, he levied violently, and frantically overdrafted the people's strength to gather troops to collect food.

Now, the puppet Song court is not stopping, and Liu Yu, in order to climb up, actually attacked Huang Qianshan for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.

One-third of the officials in the puppet Song Dynasty were recommended and promoted by Huang Qianshan.

If this person is convicted of the crime, it will inevitably cause panic in the people, and I don't know how many officials want to defect to the enemy and run away.

"Shi Gong walks slowly!" Liu Yu shouted.

Shi Liai stopped and turned around, his eyes were like knives, and his tone was cold: "Are you tired of living?" ”

Liu Yu said: "Huang Qianshan may have been bitten and falsely accused, but this person's corpse is vegetarian, and he should have been dismissed from his position as prime minister a long time ago." Although the people he recommended had many qualifications and fame, they were unwilling to work diligently for Jin Guo. The officials I promoted were all brave in their work, and even the marshal often praised them. ”

"You're really ambitious." Shi Liai has no good airway.

Liu Yu not only wants to be the prime minister, but also wants to change all the officials of the puppet dynasty and replace all Huang Qianshan's people with his own people.

In this way, Liu Yu can truly control the puppet dynasty.

It's not an emperor, it's better than an emperor!

And this is also good for Jin Guo, because Huang Qianshan's gang is indeed all lying flat and messing around. With Liu Yu and his cronies on the throne, the efficiency of the puppet dynasty will be much improved, and it will be able to support the southern expedition of the Jin State more vigorously.

Liu Yu arched his hand and said, "I have already written a letter to the marshal." ”

"Then why are you still looking for me?" Shi Liai was so angry that he brushed his sleeves and left.

Liu Yu didn't chase anymore, but smiled proudly.

Due to many admonitions, Shi Liai was no longer so favored in Wanyan Zongwang.

Liu Yu not only wanted to replace Huang Qianshan, but even wanted to replace Shi Liai, he tried in vain to take advantage of the power of the Jin people to become the real controller of the north.

This guy was born in a down-and-out gentry family, was extremely poor when he was a teenager, and was arrested for stealing a classmate's platinum cup and yarn clothes. After he was promoted to the palace servant, he was found out by the official for stealing things, and Song Huizong forgave his past and ordered him not to pursue it again.

Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty wanted to consolidate his authority, set up a bureau of etiquette, and greatly reformed the etiquette system of the Song Dynasty.

Honest officials were reluctant to get involved, but Liu Yu wanted to curry favor with the emperor and discussed the etiquette system many times. Because his knowledge was too poor, he was considered by Song Huizong to be unruly, so he was demoted to Zhejiang as an inspection envoy.

When the Jin people were killed, Liu Yu was working as an official in Hebei, and he didn't care about anything and abandoned the official and fled.

He wanted to escape back to his hometown in Shandong, but when he heard that Shandong was full of thieves, he was so frightened that he wanted to go to Tokyo again. I heard that Jin Bing and Zhu Ming attacked and besieged Kaifeng from the north and south, and Liu Yu hurriedly returned the same way, and finally slipped into the puppet court.

This person has a bunch of bad things, if you count what he has done in history, even if Huang Qianshan and Zhang Bangchang are compared to him, they can be called true gentlemen.

This guy is completely shameless, his personal reputation, family prestige, and people's social affairs can all be left behind.

What about the strong military strength of the new Ming Dynasty?

If he goes to vote for Daming, can he be in a high position?

Since you can't get glory and wealth by taking refuge in the Ming Dynasty, you will be determined to be a dog in the Jin Kingdom. Jin Bing won, and he can take advantage of the situation to rule the north. When the Jin soldiers were defeated, he took the little emperor and retreated with the Jin people.

The most important thing is to be happy, no matter whether people in the world live or die!

He is poor enough, and he is despised enough, and he has to enjoy power and wealth.

Two days later, Guan Sheng, Yue Fei, Li Qiong, Li Jinyi and others had already led their troops towards Zhending Mansion.

Just as the war was approaching, Liu Yu received a reply from Yan Zongwang.

Wanyan Zongwang had long been unaccustomed to seeing those wine bags and rice bags in the puppet dynasty, and heard that Huang Qianshan was good at collaborating with the enemy, so he directly ordered Liu Yuke to be in charge.

In the Zhending Mansion puppet dynasty, more than 40 officials were arrested in one day.

Liu Yu first let his cronies control the Yushitai, Dali Temple, and the Criminal Department, and impeached, arrested, interrogated, and adjudicated.

When arrested, they were severely tortured, and the interrogators were also induced to accuse Liu Yu's political enemies of betraying the country.

"I really didn't collaborate with the enemy, woo woo woo ......" Huang Qianshan had already been beaten half to death.

The cool official looked ruthless: "Confess quickly, you still have those comrades!" If you don't say it, there will be a great punishment to serve. ”

Huang Qianshan cried bitterly: "I said, I said." ”

"Write down all your comrades." The cool official smirked.

Huang Qianshan was dragged to lie on the table, his whole body was so painful that it was difficult to lift a pen, and he wrote down all the officials he knew on paper in a daze.

Outside Liu Yu's mansion.

Zhang Bangchang came to visit him with all his floating wealth, which he was greedy for when he was an official in the puppet dynasty. His hometown is in the Yongjing Army, which belongs to Han Shizhong's station, and all the money he was greedy for before was confiscated.

After waiting for a day, he was finally summoned by Liu Yu.

Liu Yu was triumphant, and asked knowingly: "As a young ruler, Gong Zhang wants to be busy with official business, what is the teaching for coming to my house?" ”

Zhang Bangchang still wants to save face outside, but when he is indoors, he knelt down with a puff, kowtowed frantically and said: "Duke Liu spares his life, I am willing to sacrifice all my family property, and I only ask Duke Liu to allow me to resign for the people." ”

In the Song Dynasty, Liu Yu could only look up to Zhang Bangchang, and in the puppet Dynasty, he was also inferior to Zhang Bangchang.

At this moment, Zhang Bangchang actually knelt down and kowtowed to himself, which made Liu Yu feel refreshed, as if he had drunk a big bowl of ice water on those dog days.

This wonderful feeling, Liu Yu is already fluttering.

Liu Yu deliberately did not speak, and asked Zhang Bangchang to kneel for a while. After enjoying himself, he smiled and said: "I am just a privy envoy, Zhang Gong is the Shaozai of the Great Song Dynasty, but I dare not accept Zhang Gong's kneeling." ”

Zhang Bangchang was afraid of dying, and he didn't care about anything in order to survive, kneeling and looking up at his smiling face: "Stand it, stand it." Liu Gongshi is the pillar of my Great Song Dynasty, and he sleeps hard and works diligently. I knelt this time, not only for myself, but also for the acting official family and the queen mother, and thanked Liu Gong for his hard work for the country. ”

Acting official's family and the queen mother kneeling?

It's okay not to say this, Zhang Bangchang said it, and Liu Yu seemed to have a flame in his heart.

He seemed to see the puppet emperor and the queen mother kneeling in front of him.

Liu Yu began to become short of breath, and now that he is even a minister, why can't he go one step further to be an emperor?

God, please bless the marshal to win the battle and occupy Hebei and Shandong. At that time, find an opportunity to abolish the little emperor, and my old Liu can go back to his hometown in Shandong to be the emperor!

"But you're also an acquaintance, do you know what to do in the future?" Liu Yu asked.

Zhang Bangchang was already frightened, and kowtowed again: "I know." I will write tonight, Huang Qianshan is good at collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and Liu Gong has worked hard. For the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, I want to recommend Liu Gong as Dazai, and those officials under me will also echo it. ”

Liu Yu was very satisfied, nodded and said, "You can take back those goods outside." It's all your baby, how can I win people's love? ”

Zhang Bangchang knew that he could survive and not have to hemorrhage, so he suddenly trembled with excitement: "There is a true deed of Liu Gongquan below, which was obtained last year. The sword is given to the hero, and Liu Gong must be laughed! ”

"The true works of Liu Gongquan?"

Liu Yu's eyes lit up, and he personally helped Zhang Bangchang up, and scolded outside the door: "Why don't you hurry up and show Zhang Gong tea?" ”

The war between the two armies is imminent, but the puppet court is setting off a bloody storm.

Under Liu Yu's severe torture, more than a dozen officials who could not stand the torture to extract confessions died. More than 40 people were convicted of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and just waiting for Yan Zongwang to come back, he could be executed and beheaded.

Zhending Mansion City, people's hearts are panicking.

Shi Liai stood on the city tower, looking at the suburbs in the distance, and sighed for a while.

He prides himself on being Kong Ming in the world, but from Wanyan Zong to Liu Yu, what kind of things are there around him?
