Chapter 128: Confrontation in the Night (2-in-1)
Taixue inside.
A group of students looked at the amount of coins in the newspaper, their eyes were bloodshot, and they were angry, and they all angrily denounced the ambitions of the wolves of the two countries.
In particular, the envoys of the Liaoxia Dynasty came to Kaifeng City to be arrogant and domineering, the envoys of the two countries wanted to add more New Year's coins, not to mention, the Liaoguo envoys wanted to change the New Year's coins to tribute, and the Western Xia wanted to cut the three cities of the Great Song Dynasty again, which stimulated a group of young people who were too energetic.
"The dispute between the court and the court came, and the official family issued an order to expel the envoys of the two countries of Liaoxia, and after swearing that after the Great Song Dynasty, there would be no harmony, no compensation, no land, no coins, the world would guard the country, and the king would die."
Suddenly, another shocking news reached Taixue.
"Good!"
Taixue almost fried the pot, and the students were enthusiastic and applauded.
Without him, Zhao Xu's iron-blooded oath is just the appetite of a group of students.
"The official family is really the lord of the British, my Great Song is saved!"
Dr. Taixue Zhang Yong said with tears in his eyes, although he is old, how can he be willing to bear the shame of the year.
"Evil doctor Fan Zhengchao made up for half of "Man Jianghong".
Then came another shocking piece of news.
"The year is ashamed, it is still snowing, the courtiers hate, when will it be destroyed! ………………。 ”
"Stay from the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky."
With the spread of Banque's "Manjianghong" throughout Taixue, all the Taixue students were excited, and Fan Zheng's half-Que words were simply written in their hearts, and they can't wait to abandon their pen now to join the army and serve the country, sweep the Western Xia, and destroy the Liao Kingdom in the north.
"The king is ambitious, the minister is ambitious, and I am united in the Song Dynasty, so why worry about it." Zhang Yong said excitedly in his heart.
"What about the British Lord? It's a pity that now the Empress Dowager is listening to the government, even if the official family has the ambition of Lingyun, I am afraid that they will not have the strength to fight. ”
"It would be nice if the official family was in charge!" Wang Di sighed in his heart.
The hearts of the students moved, and Wang Di's words said what everyone thought.
"Fan Zheng implored the Empress Dowager to remove the curtain, the official family is in charge, and the Empress Dowager wants to behead Fan Zheng."
"The successive dynasties have never changed the law without bloodshed, and now the two changes in the Great Song Dynasty have not heard of those who shed blood because of the change, this is the reason why the Great Song Dynasty is not prosperous, if there is, please self-style."
Subsequently, more and more of Fan Zheng's court feats spread, and all the Tai students were silent, they always called Fan Zheng an evil doctor, and they did not despise it in their hearts, and now Fan Zheng has done a feat that makes them all ashamed.
"Senior Brother Fan is in trouble, how can I sit idly by and ignore Doctor Tai?"
"My doctor can't repeat the tragedy of Huatuo again!"
Suddenly, there was a passionate uproar, coming from the Taiyi Bureau on the side, which suddenly made a group of Tai students look sideways.
"What's going on?" Everyone was puzzled.
Soon someone inquired about the news and returned, and said with an embarrassed face: "The evil doctor Fan Zheng asked the Empress Dowager to remove the curtain and let the official family take charge of the government, the Empress Dowager was angry and wanted to kill Fan Zheng, and a group of doctors were ready to knock on the Que to support Fan Zheng."
Now the evil doctor Fan Zheng has succeeded in becoming a forensic doctor, he is a well-deserved leader of the doctor, and he is the idol of the young doctor.
After being secretly provoked by the New Party, the crowd was immediately excited and supported Fan Zheng.
Wang Di saw the successful layout of the Taiyi Bureau, and shouted: "Fellow students, the official family is the master of Zhongxing, intending to lead the Great Song Dynasty to change the law and try to become stronger, but the Empress Dowager insists on giving Liaoxia coins and measuring the material resources of the Song Dynasty to tie the favor of Liaoxia, and there are even rumors that the Empress Dowager intends to abolish the emperor and spread the position of King Yong, and there is even news that the Empress Dowager is ready to mobilize the forbidden army and seize power by force. ”
"It's unreasonable!"
Zhang Yong's heart was cold, Empress Dowager Gao has been in power for eight years and holds great power, is it not impossible to do this?
"The old traitor is in the country!"
"The official family has reached adulthood, but the empress dowager is still unwilling to return to power, and it turns out that she wants to do the things of the martial queen."
A group of Tai students angrily reprimanded that the official family was determined to forge ahead and vowed to revitalize the Great Song Dynasty, but the Empress Dowager Gao wanted to abolish the emperor and flatter the two countries of Liaoxia for her own selfishness.
"One hundred and twenty years of national soldiers, the festival of righteous death, is today! You are willing to follow me Wang Di together, knock on the que, ask for your life, let the official family pro-government, and revitalize the Great Song Dynasty. Wang Di shouted.
Wang Di is the grandson of Wang Anshi, Wang Anshi has a bad reputation in the court, but he has a very high prestige in the hearts of young people.
At the moment, a team of doctors and a team of students are in solidarity with each other! rushed to the imperial city, knocked on the que, and asked the officials to govern themselves.
The people of Kaifeng watched this scene in shock, but when they learned what happened, they were also indignant.
For the people of Kaifeng! The New Year's coins given to Liaoxia were all looted by their people's fat and people's ointment, and the official family finally decided to abolish the New Year's coins, and the Empress Dowager Gao even wanted to continue to send New Year's coins to Liao.
"The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband!"
"The Great Song Dynasty is bitter for a long time!"
"The official family is the master of Zhongxing, please remove the curtain from the Empress Dowager!"
Immediately, one by one, the citizens of Kaifeng also followed the doctor and the students and went to the palace to knock.
There are even more radical scholars and literati who came directly to the White Tiger Hall, surrounded the gate and angrily scolded him for being in vain for his kindness, and dared to make a rebellion on the orders of the Empress Dowager Gao, and he would be liquidated in the future and punished by his nine clans.
"It just doesn't make sense! Dare to surround the White Tiger Hall, this is a capital crime! Come on, arrest them all.! Gao Gongji said angrily.
"General Gao must not, these are scholars and literati, many of them have meritorious reputations, we must not act rashly." Taiwei Meng Yuan shook his head and said.
The Great Song Dynasty has been in the military for a hundred years, and the military generals' fear of the literati is like engraved in their bones, and they would rather face the fierce and arrogant Liao soldiers than point their troops at the literati, because this is a taboo thing.
"Presumptuous, the Empress Dowager is dedicated to the country, hard work, they are openly insulting, this is a great crime of disrespect, don't forget that you have today's status, all by the Empress Dowager's grace." Gao Gongji said angrily.
The generals were suddenly silent, the Gao family was originally a family of generals, and they had a lot of prestige in the army, and after they took power, the generals were also promoted by them.
Take the current Taiwei Meng Yuan as an example, originally he was just a defense envoy, and his granddaughter was appreciated by the Empress Dowager Gao and appointed as the queen, and she was continuously promoted by the Empress Dowager Gao and sat on the post of Tai Lieutenant, and the Empress Dowager Gao was as kind to him as a mountain.
Meng Yuan naturally also invested in the peach and reciprocated it, and used Gao Gongji more heavily, making him like the second lieutenant.
"The official family forced the palace for no reason, it is really against filial piety, now the life and death of the empress dowager is unknown, you sit idly by, isn't it ungrateful, now Kaifeng City is in chaos, if we help the empress dowager to set things right..................."
The faces of the generals changed and said: "General Gao said cautiously, there is no tiger talisman in the army, this is the ancestral system, the empress dowager has not sent a will, and the privy envoy Lord Cao has not sent an order to transfer troops, if we act rashly, no matter what the reason, we will definitely die." ”
The scholars were not alarmist, the Song Dynasty learned the lessons of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and guarded the warriors strictly, and any sign of daring to cause chaos would be severely sentenced.
This time, it was the official family and the Empress Dowager who seized power, and if they participated, even if the Empress Dowager triumphed, she would probably not escape the liquidation of the next emperor after her death.
After all, no matter what the reason is, it is unforgivable for the emperor to lead troops to force the palace, and besides, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have already supported the official family, so why should they be this bird.
"We are not plotting rebellion, but to ensure the safety of the Empress Dowager, and don't forget the lesson of a son of heaven and a courtier." Gao Gongji whispered.
The generals couldn't help frowning, they were indeed promoted by the Empress Dowager Gao, only the Empress Dowager Gao was here, so that they could keep their position, if the official family was in power, I am afraid it would be .............
"Moreover, the official family was bewitched by the evil doctor Fan Zheng, and he was determined to change the law, and he would inevitably reuse the new party in the future and restart the battle of Liaoxia. Gao Gongji threatened again.
Meng Yuan and the generals were shocked, they had all experienced the war in their own years, and naturally knew the cruelty of the war and the ferocity of the Western Xia soldiers, and the fear of war was breeding in their hearts.
"And we are not alone, there are many civil officials who follow the Empress Dowager, and they will definitely not sit idly by and ignore the unfilial behavior of the officials." Gao Gongji said confidently.
Empress Dowager Gao is a conservative leader with many followers, and today she was just caught off guard by Zhao Xu! The real battle is not necessarily lost.
The generals glanced at each other and nodded slowly, while Taiwei Meng Yuan looked hesitant.
Seeing this, Gao Gongji whispered in a low voice: "Empress Meng is hand-picked by Empress Dowager Gao, and the official family has never liked it, if the Empress Dowager loses power, I am afraid that Empress Meng's position as queen will not be guaranteed!" You must not forget the lessons of the Guo family after the abolition of the Renzong Dynasty. ”
Meng Yuan's face changed, Guo was the first queen of Renzong, and she was also the hand-picked queen of the Empress Dowager Liu E, who was not liked by Renzong, and after Renzong became pro-government, he quickly abolished Guo and set up Cao as the queen, and her granddaughter Queen Meng was the same as Guo.
"This matter needs to be considered in the long run!" Meng Yuan said solemnly:
Seeing this, Gao Gongji smiled proudly in his heart, whether it was for his position as a lieutenant or for the position of the queen, Meng Yuan must stand on the side of the empress dowager.
With the support of Taiwei Meng Yuan, great things can be done!
When Meng Yuan returned to the Meng Mansion worriedly, it was already dark!
Suddenly found that Meng's mansion was full of lights, extremely grand, and was about to get angry and reprimand, but saw a graceful and luxurious figure, it was Queen Meng.
"The old minister sees the queen's mother!" Meng Yuan stepped forward and saluted.
Empress Meng hurriedly helped Meng Yuan up and said, "Grandpa! This is the granddaughter of the family who should give you a salute! ”
Meng Yuan said stubbornly: "Etiquette cannot be abolished, now you are the queen mother, and there is a difference between monarchs and ministers!" ”
Empress Meng couldn't help but sigh, Meng Yuan had always been extremely stubborn, and she was extremely helpless about it.
"Why did you go home suddenly, could it be that the official family just took over the government and drove you back!" Meng Yuan's face suddenly changed.
Empress Meng smiled bitterly and said, "Grandpa, what are these words?" It was the official family who invited the palace to come and persuade the grandfather to stabilize the morale of the army and ensure that there was no chaos in the army. ”
Meng Yuan frowned, he didn't expect the official family to let the queen personally persuade him.
"How is the Empress Dowager now?" Meng Yuan asked.
Empress Meng replied truthfully: "The imperial grandmother is now in the palace, and the Empress Dowager is persuading her!" ”
Meng Yuan was silent, he naturally knew what the 'persuasion' in Empress Meng's mouth meant.
"You should know that the Empress Dowager has a great favor to the Meng family, and the official family doesn't like you, if it weren't for the Empress Dowager's hand-picking, the official family would not have made you the queen." Meng Yuan said solemnly.
Empress Meng's face remained unchanged, and she nodded: "The granddaughter knows, but the granddaughter has married the official family, so she will marry the chicken and the dog, not to mention that the granddaughter is now pregnant with the dragon seed and has shared the glory and disgrace with the official family." ”
Meng Yuan said calmly: "In the harem, in addition to you, there are two concubines who are pregnant, if you give birth to a prince who is not the prince, if the empress dowager is not there, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape the life of being abolished!" ”
Empress Meng was not surprised by this: "Even if the granddaughter gives birth to a princess this time, she will give birth to a prince in the future, because the granddaughter has already mastered the secret recipe for a woman's pregnancy." ”
At the moment, Queen Meng told Fan Zheng's pregnancy regularity, Meng Yuan's face was moved for the first time, if there is this method, the probability of Queen Meng giving birth to a prince has increased greatly, and the son born by the queen will definitely be the eldest son in the future, and there is no chance to ascend to the throne, and then the status of the Meng family will be as stable as Mount Tai.
Of course, Empress Meng has something to hide, she has no name Zhao Xu's physical condition, if Zhao Xu's body recovers, then she will definitely give birth to a prince, if the official family is infertile in the future, then she can only resign herself to fate.
"And the concubine came from the official family with a military order, if you can't convince your grandfather, I'm afraid that the official family will abolish the granddaughter, and the granddaughter will have no shame to see the official family again." Empress Meng said with a sad face.
Meng Yuan's face suddenly stiffened, he naturally knew that his granddaughter was very similar to his temper, and he would definitely do what he said, but without the support of Empress Dowager Gao, his granddaughter might be deposed.
And now if he supports Empress Dowager Gao, his granddaughter will have abolished herself as queen.
"Father! This is the grievance of their ancestors and grandchildren, they are fighting with bones and tendons, can the official family still kill the queen mother? Why did our Meng family risk exterminating the clan to participate in it! Meng Zai, the father of Empress Meng, persuaded hard.
Meng Yuantian struggled, on the one hand, the promotion grace of the Empress Dowager Gao, and on the other hand, the future happiness of his granddaughter and the future of the Meng family.
After a long time, Meng Yuan sighed and said, "It is important to ensure the safety of the Empress Dowager." ”
Empress Meng suddenly cried with joy, knowing that her grandfather had decided to stand on the side of the official family!
"Thank you, grandpa!" Empress Meng bowed solemnly.
"I hope you don't regret it in the future!" Meng Yuanyi sighed.
At that moment, Meng Yuan made up his mind to support the official family, and immediately began to secretly arrange.
At the same time, Cai did step into the Cao Mansion, and the relationship between the Cao family and the Empress Dowager Gao was irreversible, and the Empress Dowager Gao was the niece of the Cao family.
Empress Cao asked her niece Gao to marry Yingzong, and after Empress Dowager Gao listened to the government, she reported that Li appointed Cao Hui as a privy envoy.
Half an hour later, Cai did confidently walk out of Cao's house.
The more high-ranking the lord, the more cautious he is, now the three prime ministers of the court all support the official family, and the people are excited to ask the official family to be pro-government, and the Cao family only needs to remain neutral, so they can ensure prosperity and wealth, and naturally they will not take risks.
Subsequently, Cai Qu visited several important ministers in the army again and again, all of whom were supporters of the Xining reform in the army that year, in order to make a foolproof strategy.
After doing all this, Cai did breathe a sigh of relief, the east was already white, and before he knew it, the sky was already bright.
He knows all this, and the diehards who follow the Empress Dowager Gao are certainly not idle, but as long as the army is stable, the official family is already eighteen years old, and the pro-government righteousness is in control, plus the people's will is in the official family, this time the new party will win.
