Chapter 309: Anger in power
Xue Bingchang was overjoyed when he saw Xiao Mington!
"Oops! Brother Xiao, why are you here? Hurry up, please come in, you see that my house has just been acquired, and it is very messy everywhere, which makes Brother Xiao laugh! He still calls Xiao Ming his brother, Xiao Ming was relieved when he heard it, if he changed his name to Taishi or Hou Ye, it means that he has a gap with himself, and he will not speak so happily!
Xiao Ming asked him about the affairs of the court, whether Qin Hui was the prime minister? Xue Bingchang said very strangely: "Qin Hui is this one person, but this person is currently supervising the imperial history and the right right speech, and there is nothing to be afraid of at all, but the current right servant shoots the governor of the governor's affairs, and the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, and he is the first favorite of Gaozong!" ”
Xiao Ming wondered in his heart, how could he have turned it upside down, this Wan Qian was originally Qin Hui's close minister, and he was one of the famous four traitorous ministers, how could he suddenly rush to Qin Hui's top now, but Qin Hui didn't seem to be mixed up! It seems that the one who killed Yue Fei must be this Wan Qiao!
Speaking of this, Xue Bingchang was also quite emotional, the people were very sympathetic to Yue Fei's death, and the court's handling of Yue Fei in this matter was very unpopular, and even the ministers of the court and the central government kept writing, but Wan Qiao's person had a personal grudge with Yue Fei when he was in Ezhou, and this time he was suspected of communiqué personal vendetta.
It turned out that what happened was not much like in history, Yue Fei was further planning and preparing for the next military action after capturing Yingchang Mansion, and at this time, Wanyan Zongbi, also known as Jin Wushu, further increased the transfer of troops to the Central Plains in order to help the precarious Liu Yu regime.
At this time, Yue Fei was recalled by the Golden Approval Token, and then he was imprisoned in Dali Temple, and then supervised the imperial history to impeach Yue Fei for saying that he had falsely reported the military situation and results, and had been staying in Yingchang Mansion and conspired to rebel, and insisted that Yue Fei had written a letter to his general Zhang Xian, arranging a plan to seize the army and rebel......
So far, Yue Fei's father and son, and Zhang Xian Wang Gui were imprisoned, Dali Temple tortured Yue Fei harshly, the investigation of this matter is purely false, many people in the court have written to intercede for Yue Fei, but Xue Bingchang knew that this matter was completely because he was collecting evidence, but in the end Gaozong issued a secret decree, with "a certain must!" Yue Fei was put to death.
Hu Quan, the head of the household department, once questioned Wan Qiao and Qin Hui, what is Yue Fei's crime? Now that the world is turbulent, all the generals outside have joined forces to protect them, Liu Qi, Wu Jue, Liu Guangshi, Zhang Suo and others and even Han Shizhong, who is far away in Liaodong, are also paying attention.
But at this time, Zhang Jun, who was known as one of the four generals of Zhongxing, suddenly wrote a letter claiming that Yue Fei had stayed in Huaixi and incorporated the stragglers there, which was indeed a rebellion! The court was in an uproar, thinking that Zhang Jun had been bought by Wan Qiao, and he had done such a thing, but the investigation afterwards was still nothing!
In the end, Yue Fei was still strangled by Qin Hui and others with a bowstring and in the Storm Pavilion in Dali Temple in Hangzhou! Qin Hui played Gaozong's book and said: "Fei Ziyun and Zhang Xianshu, although they are unknown, their affairs are unwarranted" So Yue Fei was killed on "trumped-up" charges and became known to the world, which also aroused the anger of many people!
Yue Fei's death was due to his paranoia, but also to Gaozong Zhaogou's selfishness, and even more to the traitorous villain's communiqué personal vendetta and framing Zhongliang! Yue Fei is dead, then the next step, Gaozong further deprived the leading generals of the military power, his approach is to change the guard, when the general goes to the post, except for the family members are not allowed to bring a soldier, really do not know the soldiers, the soldiers do not know the generals!
Wu Jue on the Northwest Road was transferred to the southeast, Liu Qi was transferred to Ezhou, Liu Guangshi's general Liqiong rebelled against Liu Yu and was taken away from military power, Zhang Suo and others entered Beijing to let them go, except for Han Shizhong, who belonged to the Xuan and did not listen to the tune, all the generals in the Great Song Dynasty were all replaced, and Zhang Jun, the Huaixi Jiedu, was promoted to the deputy envoy of the Privy Council!
A series of personnel adjustments show that Gaozong is deliberately carrying out a change of power, but now there is no one in charge of the Privy Council, and after Li Gang's death, there are only two deputy envoys in the entire Privy Council, which is making the candidates empty, which is also the reason why Gaozong Zhao Gou hastened to carry out personnel transfers, and this personnel transfer is only for the military.
Because at this time, in fact, the military is not so united, there is still a dispute between the main battle factions in the army, and Zhang Jun and Xi Yi are not on good terms with the Sichuan-Shaanxi system, but because Zhang Jun has a large influence in the DPRK, he is very squeezing out the generals of other factions, and Wang Shu is the first to bear the brunt!
At that time, Wang Shu was already the largest official in Shaanxi, he did the military department of Shangshu, and was worshiped as the privy deputy envoy, when because of the official Geng Zhi blindly asked for the Northern Expedition, he was impeached by Wan Qian in the imperial history of Cheng Gou Long Ruyuan, and was demoted, and the identity of the senior palace bachelor knew Tanzhou!
The departure of Wang Shu finally made Gaozong jealous of the military, so he began to carry out personnel transfers, the domestic army at that time was very large, in addition to Xiao Ming's tens of thousands of royal guards specially trained for the imperial court, there were many soldiers in various places, some generals supported the army with self-respect, did not listen to the order but there was a tendency to divide the heroes.
Before Gaozong moved the capital, he changed the name of the country to "Yongkang", at this time, the left minister Lu Yihao wrote to request the Northern Expedition, saying that Zhang Jun had 30,000 soldiers, Han Shizhong had 40,000 soldiers, Yue Fei had 120,000 soldiers, Wang Xie had 130,000 soldiers, Liu Guangshi had 40,000 soldiers, Wu Jue and Jushi Gu each had 10,000 soldiers, Cui Zeng, Yao Duan, and Zhang Shouzhong each had 20,000 soldiers, a total of more than 400,000.
Many of these soldiers and horses are the reorganization and integration of the original Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, and some of them belong to the generals' private army, but these people except a few are against Gaozong, although they still have face, but Yue Fei does not buy it, and he has to give Gaozong a look at every turn, and many of his Yue's army are rebels from all over the world, and then some of Xiao Ming's newly trained guards.
This is Yue Fei's performance of only loyalty to the country and disloyalty to the king, the Yue family's army, which has gradually grown in the war against Jin and Qi, can be said to be the mainstay of the Northern Expedition. But this did not have much impact on the national defense army of the Great Song Dynasty.
But this is just the idea of Wan Qiaoduo and others and Gaozong, they never thought that what they really lost was the people's hearts and minds in this move! Xiao Ming was also angry about this, on the one hand, Yue Fei was killed as a national hero, which made his efforts to save Yue Fei's fate fail, and on the other hand, the loss of the people's support of the Great Song Dynasty would shake his strategic layout in the country.
Although Wan Qiwei is the mastermind of this matter, but Qin Hui and others have done their best to be a despicable villain for this reason, it seems that their original layout is still too small, in order to avoid the recurrence of these traitorous villains in the government, Xiao Ming may as well be stricter, and Emperor Gaozong's power cannot be too great.
Early the next morning, the Gaotai Qinzheng Hall was in the morning, the Yellow Gate reported, when the honorary master of the dynasty, the four seas comforted Xiao Ming to return to the court, and asked to meet His Majesty the Emperor, Gaozong was very happy to hear it, and ordered the quick announcement, and the ministers in the court discussed one after another, and everyone did not notice that Qin Hui, who was the head of the household at this time, trembled all over.
Xiao Ming went to the hall, knelt down and kowtowed three times, and Gao Zongling flattened his body and asked: "Xiao Aiqing has been running overseas these days, it is really hard, does this return bring any good news to the widow?" ”
Xiao Ming stepped forward and said, "There is good news, but there is also bad news!" I don't know which one Your Majesty wants to hear? ”
Gao Zong said: "Now that my Great Song Dynasty people are rich and the four seas are peaceful, where is there any news!" ”
Xiao Ming glanced at Zhao Gou and said, "Oh? Is it really a rise in the seas? ”
Zhao Gou remembered that the homeland of the Northern Central Plains was still not recovered, and he couldn't help but be speechless!
Xiao Ming said: "The minister is a special investigation for the death of the Taishi Li Gang, but in the southeast, I heard that the people are talking about the streets, saying that now I am a traitor in the Song Dynasty, and the emperor is poor and luxurious, and he even killed the famous anti-gold general to destroy the Great Wall!" There is already a sign of the death of the country! ”
Zhao Gou's face fell down at that time, killing Yue Fei actually had a guilty conscience, but not giving him face in public like this really made him unable to get off the stage, Wan Qiyu stepped forward and shouted: "Bold!" Lord Xiao said disrespectful words, do you want to rebel? ”
Xiao Ming didn't even turn his head, and then shouted: "Shut up!" This sound was prepared, and the sound shook the roof tiles, and suddenly scared everyone trembling! The wat board fell to the ground.
Xiao Ming turned to him and said, "You dog!" What is it? ”
Wan Qiaowei picked up the wat board, struggled his neck and said: "I am the right servant of His Majesty's personal appointment to participate in political affairs, and I am an official of the imperial court, you ...... You don't respect the king, but you still insult the ministers? ”
"Oh? Imperial court officials? Let me ask you, you should share your worries with the country when you eat the Great Song Dynasty, but I know that since you took office, in addition to murdering the generals, you have done a political thing for the country and the people? He stared at Wan Qiaoyu and then asked, "Also, let me ask you, why did the golden envoy Wuling Simou and Xiao Tonggu give you gifts?" ”
Xiao Ming's question immediately caused a wave among the ministers, and everyone discussed, Wan Qiao's face was flushed and said: "Is the exchange of gifts between the envoys of the two countries also called gift-giving?" Don't defile your innocence! ”
"Really? Twenty hectares of fertile land in the north, and 500 gold beads are just gifts for the envoys of the two countries, so I don't know what you communicate with others? You traitorous face is truly disgusting! ”
Gaozong Zhao Gou's face became more and more ugly, but he was very afraid of Xiao Ming, the only person in the world who could make him afraid was only one, that was Xiao Ming, this time Xiao Ming made trouble in the court, it seemed that he didn't give him face, but in fact, he must have a deeper purpose, so he watched Xiao Ming's performance silently!
After Xiao Ming scolded Wan Qiao, he immediately scolded the ministers in the court, saying that they scooped up the court's Yulu, and they didn't say anything when they saw the traitorous ministers' troubles, and they were typical turtles with shrunken heads! Wan Qiyu turned around and knelt in front of Gaozong, weeping and crying: "Please let the official family be the master of Weichen!" But Zhao Yan's face sank like water and he was silent.
Xiao Ming finished scolding this and that, and finally he asked, "Where is Wang Shu?" ”
Someone whispered to him: "Lord Wang has been demoted to Tanzhou!" ”
Xiao Ming asked again: "Where is Zhao Ding?" ”
Another humane: "Lord Zhao is sick at home now"
Hu Quan came out and said, "Lord Xiao......!" ”
Xiao Ming said: "You also shut up, you haven't fulfilled your responsibilities!" ”
The Great Inspector Feng Lu said: "Lord Xiao made a big fuss in the court today, and he was disrespectful to all the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, but is there another reason for Yue Pengju's killing?" ”
When Xiao Ming saw him, he restrained himself and said, "It's just that the people say behind their backs that my dynasty has the appearance of a dead country!" Xiao really doesn't want to see the official family be deceived by some traitorous people again! From now on, Xiao will return to the court, and the Nanyang countries have been pacified by me, but the Central Plains of the North Land has not been recovered, so I will come back to solve the last problem of the Dajin Kingdom! ”
Gaozong Zhao Gou suddenly spoke, and he said to Xiao Ming: "When Xiao Aiqing returns, the widow will have the backbone!" How to solve the problem of Jin Guo, is there a detailed statement for me? ”
Xiao Ming said: "Tiao Chen's is to wait and talk, I just said that there is good news, so I will release the good news here, Your Majesty Hongfu, the thirty-seven kings of the Nanyang countries have been enlightened by my Heavenly Empire, and they respect my Son of Heaven Xianrong, and they specially came to Shangjing of the Celestial Empire with me, and now they are waiting outside, announcing their arrival to Your Majesty!" ”
Zhao Gou said with a smile on his face: "In this case, let's announce that they will come to the palace to see!" ”
The thirty-seven chiefs and kings, when they were admiring the magnificence of the entire palace, were announced to the palace, crackling and kneeling on the ground, and then used the Chinese language that Xiao Ming had sent to teach them in the past few days, and shouted in a low voice: "Long live Your Majesty the Emperor, long live, long live!" "Worship to Gojong.
Zhao Gou was a little happy at this time, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart Xiao Ming's merits, he said some high-sounding words below, all the kings have rewards, let them play in Kangjing, and then Zhao Gou announced the dissolution of the dynasty, but he was very sensible to keep Xiao Ming.
"What the hell is Xiao Qing going to do?" He stared at Xiao Ming and asked.
"The official family should take a break, let me control the power, and I will give you a satisfactory explanation ......!"
