Chapter Ninety-Three: The Duke of the Kingdom
In this regard, Qiao Hu was noncommittal. His favorite thing in the army is the thorn, as long as he can train well, it is definitely an invincible sword on the battlefield.
He Qiao Hu was also a thorn in the army, and it was not until after several wars that he understood the painstaking work of the instructors who had trained him.
So before he came to the military school, he was ready to train thorns
But it wasn't until Qiao Hu came to Lin'an Military Academy that he found out that Han Shizhong's so-called thorns were not those big guys in the army at all, but some powerful sons.
At every turn, his father is the prince of the country, or his uncle is a big official in the court.
Fight it, they can't hold it up if they are pampered; Scold, one by one, the ancestors are very famous.
But I really can't beat and beat, and I can't scold and scold. The most infuriating thing is that a few bastards actually dared to openly oppose him as an instructor, and they didn't take him seriously at all.
Whenever he was training, Qiao Hu thought to himself that it was our Han family's army, if I let those soldiers who carried the Wei army come and didn't smash your heads, my Qiao Hu's name would be written upside down.
The name of the Beiwei army was already well known among the Song army, and the myth of following the emperor to defeat the elite of the 40,000 Jin Kingdom with 5,000 can be spread far and wide.
Especially before the defeat, those elites of the Jin Army still have the title of absolute invincibility.
But what really made Beiwei Army famous in the Song Army was not this, but a rumor about ordinary soldiers.
At that time, Qiao Hu had heard that Beiweijun was very fond of Liu Chan, no matter what trouble Beiweijun caused, as long as it was reasonable, no matter if it was a big basket, Liu Chan would not be too observant.
Qiao Hu scoffed at this, saying that you have never seen a catastrophe. At that time, a soldier suddenly surrounded him and said something related to his brother, which stunned Qiao Hu on the spot.
Here's the story
At that time, when Huizong of the Song Dynasty was still in the north, there was a prince in the north, which had existed since the founding of the Song Dynasty. On weekdays, it can be said that there is no evil in the countryside, bullying the people, and even treating the soldiers, they are scolding at every turn. Relying on his identity as a national prince, he is unscrupulous.
Song Huizong knew about it, and he only warned him, and did not take any other action, and the officials in those places naturally dared to be angry with him but did not dare to speak.
After the Jin Kingdom conquered the north, the prince disappeared. The people thought that he had been killed by the Jin soldiers, and they applauded and celebrated.
But who would have thought that after the Song Dynasty recovered the north, he actually appeared again, and continued to rely on his identity as a national prince, and he also did all kinds of evil, bullying the people, and fishing in the township.
Liu Qi, who stabilized the people's livelihood in the north, and his eight-character army couldn't help him at all, but kept persuading. As a result, the arrogance of the prince became more and more arrogant, and he actually injured several soldiers of the Bazi Army.
But Liu Qi is also helpless about this.
Qiao Hu felt that not only Liu Qi, but even Han Shizhong arrived, I am afraid that he would also be helpless. After all, it was a national duke, except for His Majesty, who would dare to make a move against the national duke.
Then Yue Yun arrived with his back army, and no one thought that they would really dare to make a move.
The prince thought that the Beiwei army was just an ordinary Song army, and he also didn't take them seriously.
Once again, after several Beiwei soldiers defeated the bandits, the prince dared to let his son rob the booty of the Beiwei army. One of the backers had never been so angry that he was not used to him at all, and after the warning was ineffective, he directly killed his son.
If he dares to rob the army's spoils, he will not break any law even if he kills it, but he is a prince of the country after all.
The Guogong was dumbfounded on the spot, and then cried and shouted, grabbing the backing soldier and going to Yue Yun to seek justice. also shouted for the family to kill him directly, the back army was cleaning up their booty, how could they have time to chat with them, and directly killed everyone except Guogong.
As for Guogong, they really kept their hands, but they just didn't kill them. It's just a beating!
After the prince was beaten, he didn't dare to stay any longer, leaving a cruel word and leaving in disgrace.
After Qiao Hu heard the news, not to mention how sour it was, but he immediately worried about the back of the army, after all, it was the prince of the country. They are just ordinary soldiers, where do they have the ability to compete with others.
After the Duke of the Kingdom reported the matter to Yue Yun, he thought that Yue Yun would deal with it, but Yue Yun directly slapped two big mouths and beat him, and then let his subordinates beat him up and threw the Duke of the Kingdom out of the barracks.
Qiao Hu also asked at the time, is Yue Yun's kid so bold? Aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will punish him?
Yue Yun turned out to be from Han Jiajun, and Qiao Hu was still somewhat familiar with him. However, Yue Yun was still a hairy boy at that time, and he didn't expect to become the commander of the first army in a blink of an eye.
Then the soldier suddenly became agitated, and he was beaming again.
The soldier said, who would have thought that His Majesty did not blame the soldier after hearing about this. Instead, he rewarded him greatly, saying that he was not afraid of the powerful and did not lose the prestige of the army. If he really let the prince rob the spoils of the Beiwei army, and they didn't say a word, then the Beiwei army would lose his face and lose the face of the Beiwei army.
When they heard this, the soldiers around Qiao Hu all applauded, and they all said that the Beiwei Army was worthy of being the most capable cavalry in the Song Army.
Then I don't know who asked, what happened to that prince later?
The soldier took a sip of water and continued, His Majesty sent someone to raid the family of the Duke of the Kingdom, and to revoke the title of the Duke of the Kingdom, and to reduce the family to slavery.
The soldier also said that His Majesty said something at that time,
"It's just a national prince, how dare I chill the hearts of the soldiers who defend the country."
Qiao Hu remembers this sentence very clearly, and his memory is still fresh.
However, he knew that he could not be as fierce as the Betrayal Army, killing people at will without punishment. After all, it is a back-to-back army, and it is not for the country to have the emperor's favor. If the other armies do the same, I am afraid that nothing good will end.
That's why he turned a blind eye to the powerful children in the military academy, and didn't even bother to ask them what they did. Even if none of them came during training, even if they had been making trouble and making the military academy miserable, Qiao Hu still didn't say anything.
There was no way, Han Shizhong, as the chief instructor, didn't say anything, how dare he say more.
However, his disappointment with Han Shizhong is increasing day by day, Yue Yun can slap a prince in the face for his soldiers, you Han Shizhong has a higher status than Yue Yun, why don't you say a word.
There was no one to answer Qiao Hu's question, so he continued to be silent.
But when he saw that the children of the powerful who were usually unscrupulous at the gate of the military academy actually came to train, he subconsciously thought that he was still dreaming.
He looked up at the sun, and was about to pinch himself, when he suddenly saw a group of people carrying a few plaques, and the leader was a eunuch.
Only then did he realize that it was someone from the palace, no wonder they all became so honest.
In the Song Dynasty, Liu Chan was the sky, so these people from the palace represented the will of the sky.
Qiao Hu hurriedly sent someone to invite Han Shizhong over, and he greeted him with a smile. The children who were trained in the military academy stood straight one by one, but the trembling posture made people feel funny.
After a while, I saw Han Shizhong running over in a hurry, stopped and clenched his fists and said to Zhao Hao: "I don't know if Zhao Gonggong has arrived, I missed the distance, please forgive me." ”
"Lord Han is still so polite, I see that you look good, you must know that Your Majesty has been very dissatisfied with you recently. So, tell me to send you some plaques. ”
Zhao Hao said in a strange way.
"Oh, I dare to worry about Your Majesty, it's my fault."
Han Shizhong still looked respectful, without a word, saying something wrong in one place.
Zhao Hao bared his teeth, this Han Shizhong didn't mean anything at all. I played a joke with him to ease the atmosphere, but he did it with a serious face.
"Hey, Lord Han, don't talk about these nice things, doing things for Your Majesty is the most important thing. Lord Han still hurriedly bound this plaque, thought about what he should do, and then we should go back to our respective homes. ”
Hearing this, Han Shizhong looked at the things in the hands of the people behind him. Zhao Hao asked people to lift the curtain, only to see the plaque read:
If you want to get rich, please go elsewhere, and you are greedy for life and afraid of death.
As soon as Qiao Hu saw the words on the plaque, he immediately understood what Liu Chan meant. If he really came according to the plaque, he would be so angry after he came to the military academy. Immediately, he looked at Han Shizhong with a dissatisfied look, and said You look at Your Majesty has said so, and you are still doing that, isn't it to be angry.
Han Shizhong smiled even more bitterly, how could he not know what Liu Chan meant. But in the face of so many powerful people, he can really do that. Once he offends all the powerful people in Lin'an, then how can he Han Shizhong stay here.
Zhao Hao has also been following Liu Chan for a long time, and he has seen that Liu Chan has beaten Han Shizhong many times. But it seems that every time Han Shizhong has not changed at all, and now he still thinks that both sides will not be offended.
There was no way, as soon as Zhao Hao saw Han Shizhong's expression, he knew that he was still obsessed. If Liu Chan is here, he must give him a good beating. He felt that as a eunuch beside Liu Chan, he should persuade Han Shizhong well.
After all, he is a good person, don't do anything wrong.
"Lord Han's expression seems to be a little bad. What's the problem? Let's talk about it, maybe I can give you some answers. ”
"Gonggong Zhao is too worried, so I will send someone to install the plaque."
Zhao Hao gritted his teeth and grabbed Han Shizhong's arm, calmed down his mood, and said softly: "Lord Han, you and I are old acquaintances. Mind if I give you a heads-up? ”
"Speak, please."
Han Shizhong made a look of deafness.
"It stands to reason that you have been with Your Majesty much longer than I have. What kind of character Your Majesty is, you must know better than me. ”
Han Shizhong complained in his heart, the longer I live with Your Majesty, the more I don't know what kind of character Your Majesty is. Your Majesty's personality is like my mother's face, and it changes when she says it. I used to be a little timid, but now I have become tyrannical, and I don't look at the status of that person at all.
"Father-in-law Zhao, what do you want to say?"
"Lord Han hasn't seen it clearly, has he? Now His Majesty's meaning is the most important thing, and it is the first thing we have to consider. Those magnates are indeed very powerful, but they can be nothing compared to His Majesty. Haven't you seen the matter of Hu Guogong's family clearly? ”
Hu Guocheng mentioned that family before, but unlike Qiao Hu who knew, Liu Chan didn't just copy the house. but to kill all who are guilty, who seem to be guilty.
In short, Hu Guogong's family can be regarded as annihilated.
This incident caused a lot of fluctuations in the court, and Han Shizhong, who was in the military academy, naturally heard about it. In the end, Liu Chan had to walk out of the harem and threw his sword directly on the court, saying that anyone who dared to oppose would kill him.
So the entire court was silent, Zhao Ding was not afraid of death, and wanted to refute it loudly, but was directly knocked out by Liu Chan and sent back to the mansion.
Then Liu Chan also said another thing in the court: "What kind of power you enjoy should pay what kind of obligations, if he is really the prince of the country, he should resist bravely when the Jin soldiers invade the south." What kind of national prince is a greedy and afraid of death! If you lose the face of the country, you should have died 10,000 times a long time ago.
Zhao Hao continued: "That is, you still care about those powerful people, you look at which minister in the court can afford them now." When the national disaster was at the head, they did not serve the country with their bodies, if it was peaceful today, and they wanted to come and eat a piece of fruit, how could such a good thing come from. Do you think that your majesty's sword alone can deter the court? Those ministers just want Your Majesty to have a clear attitude, and now Your Majesty has shown his attitude, you can't see it! ”
Han Shizhong also sighed: "You think I don't know, but look at this military academy, in addition to those children of powerful people, there are also many children of those big officials in the court today." What you tell me to do, what can I do. ”
Zhao Hao scratched his head, feeling that this Han Shizhong was usually very smart, why couldn't he understand the meaning of his words.
"Lord Han, you must know that His Majesty's attitude comes first. You always want to be offended on both sides, so that's possible. You can also see now that His Majesty's attitude towards Jin Guo is the main battle. Then think about it again, what happened to the ministers of the Lord and the faction? Isn't there enough blood shed in Lin'an? Haven't you seen your majesty's prestige clearly? ”
Now, the ministers in the court have also reacted. It was not the prince's idea to kill those ministers of the lord and faction, but Liu Chan's idea. The prince is just a knife in Liu Chan's hand!
But even if it reacts, what can it be, the position of the court has changed. Those ministers who fought the main battle not only did not oppose Liu Chan, but also supported it very much, and even the prince gathered a group of his own team because of this.
In fact, Han Shizhong didn't understand, but he also subconsciously regarded Liu Chan as Zhao Gou, and felt that if he offended someone, Liu Chan would definitely not repay him or anything.
In addition, Han Shizhong is too twisted, which makes things look particularly unorganized.
In history, when Qin Hui murdered Yue Fei for no reason, Han Shizhong didn't say a word. After Yue Fei died, he asked Qin Hui why he wanted to kill Yue Fei.
"What Zhao Gonggong said, I understand. Please tell Your Majesty that I will do what Your Majesty wants, and I will never let down Your Majesty's attention. ”
Han Shizhong finally abandoned his hesitation, his eyes became firm, and he said that he believed that Liu Chan once did not matter.
