Chapter 136: The Battle Clouds Rise Again

However, it was said that the imperial court mobilized a large number of forbidden troops to encircle and suppress that day, and even used artillery, and finally after paying the price of thousands of deaths, Li Gui and others still escaped from the city gate.

Someone has to be held accountable for this big thing.

The official family must be innocent forever, and the same is true for the ministers of the court, the prefect of Kaifeng Mansion is dead, and the only one who takes responsibility in the end is the general who led the army to suppress the bandits.

The general is not a military general, but a civil official, born as a jinshi, and his roots are red.

He was originally the county magistrate of Ye County, Laizhou, but because of his meritorious service, he was promoted to the general judgment of Dengzhou, and routinely entered Beijing to see His Majesty, but he ran into this matter.

At the right time, Li Ghost killed and dispersed the Fourth Army and captured Dali Temple, everyone in the military department was afraid, and they did not dare to lead the troops to suppress the bandits, and they all excused themselves to shirk it.

So this person was selected because of the knowledge of the army, temporarily served in the military department, and took the forbidden army to arrest Li Ghost and rescue his colleagues in Dali Temple.

He also heard about Ghost Li's martial arts in advance, so he called Ling Zhen's artillery to deal with it, but he didn't know that Ghost Li was hanging, and the artillery couldn't win, and he bombed Dali Temple to pieces, and so many forbidden troops died.

On the battlefield, the military order was like a mountain, he forced the soldiers to go up and send them to death, others could not disobey, but when the war was over, the counterattack came.

There are many officials in this Beijing, and it is in the ordinary forbidden army, and there is a relative of a certain official who begged for a stable meal in the forbidden army, and as a result, because of his order, he died in front of the prison of Dali Temple.

So for a while, all kinds of bullets flew into the palace like snowflakes.

What is the poor command, the lack of mercy for the soldiers, the destruction of buildings, and the release of the prisoners...... There are all kinds of crimes.

Of course, there is only one of the most serious crimes in this, that is, he failed to catch the murderer of Xiao Zhao, Li Gui.

Song Huizong was furious and ordered to be imprisoned and dealt with severely.

Fortunately, the purpose of Ghost Li is to go to the prison to save people, those officials of Dali Temple have not had time to kill, his task is half completed, and the crime can be reduced partly, plus he is from Jinshi, and the old Zhao family has never killed scholars, so the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime is inescapable.

The original Dengzhou Tong was gone, and it became a distribution to Dengzhou.

Emperor Daojun was still angry, and even made a decree that Li Ghost was wanted all over the world, and vowed to arrest Li Ghost and avenge Xiao Zhao.

Who knew that it didn't take long for news to come from the Daimyo's Mansion that several large armies surrounded and suppressed more than ten thieves, and they actually lost their troops and killed thousands of people.

Zhao Ji was furious, but he refused to believe it.

How can there be such a brave general in this world?

At the time of his assassination that day, he was awake for a while, and then he was frightened and fainted.

When he woke up afterwards, although he knew that nearly 100 people had died, he only thought that it was the joint credit of Li Gui and his group, and others told him that Li Gui did it alone, and he resolutely did not believe it.

The ministers knew his attitude, and after the bloody case of Dali Temple, they threw the responsibility to Li Gui and his gang, and in order to weaken the influence of Li Gui himself, even those who escaped and died in battle were also counted.

Looking at it this way, Ghost Li and his gang left the corpses of dozens of comrades and fled in a hurry, isn't it much better?

More than 100 people worked together to kill more than 1,000 forbidden soldiers, although it is still a little ugly, but it is easy to be accepted by the officials, after all, those dead Qin criminals are all military generals, and it is very reasonable to take one as ten, right?

I have to say that the officials are very good at figuring out their intentions, and Song Huizong really believed it.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Ji is extremely unacceptable to the proportion of battle losses in the Daimyo's Mansion.

In his opinion, there must be something wrong with this data, and it must be that the local generals took this opportunity to report the battle losses of the soldiers who ate empty salaries, and then cheated a sum of money from the imperial court.

The general who died in the battle must have been a wine bag and rice bag, encircled and suppressed more than a dozen thieves, and actually put his life into it, which shows that he is extremely incompetent.

Therefore, at the insistence of Song Huizong, the number of all soldiers damaged in the war was paid according to 20%.

In his opinion, a dozen thieves can kill two or three hundred soldiers, which is already very remarkable, as for what was attacked and led to the bombing of the camp, and what trampled on each other, it was all nonsense, and it was all made up to deceive him.

He did not send someone down to investigate in detail and carefully investigate the crimes of those people for deceiving the king, which is already his benevolence.

He will no longer pursue those fools who died in battle, but those who are alive and still lie about the military situation must be completely eliminated from the army.

The Daimyo Mansion is Tokyo's northern barrier, and it is not possible to allow a group of corpses to occupy such an important position.

Since the official family has this meaning, of course, the military department was ordered to start dealing with it, but as soon as it was investigated, it was discovered that the left-behind guard of the Daimyo Mansion was the son-in-law of Taishi Cai, and the Zhizhou of Gaotang Prefecture was the uncle and brother of Gao Taiwei, how to deal with this?

Hey, there's always that, and that's okay!

For example, the tiger cavalry of Dongchang Mansion, called Zhang Qing, his own army was attacked and bombed, and he suffered heavy losses.

Well, that's you!

If you lose the battle, you will not die, you will be dismissed and asked, and you will be stabbed with Jiangzhou!

After dealing with the follow-up affairs of the Daimyo's Mansion, the court began to consider the problem of this Li Ghost again.

This thief dared to assassinate the emperor, and successfully rescued the Qin prisoner in the prison of Dali Temple, and broke out of the encirclement of the Daimyo's army after five passes and six generals.

The most unbearable thing for the court is that in fact, the reputation of this guy among the people is actually excellent.

In front of Kaifeng Mansion that day, Ghost Li tore apart all the dark things in the dark, and Chiguoguo was placed in front of all the people at the scene.

The people not only knew how many powerful people secretly harmed the people, but also saw with their own eyes how the emperor "gave poisonous wine" to the heroes who saved people.

If in the past, the people only thought that the emperor was deceived by traitors, then now the people in the capital have doubts about whether the emperor is a good thing.

There are those who are suspicious, and there are people in the family who have been victimized, and even wonder if there is an official family behind these powerful people who secretly manipulate the "Sanssouci Cave" to harm people.

And the worst thing is that although the imperial court also knows about the list, it can only claim that it is Li Ghost who is framing him, but cannot punish the people on the list.

There may be secret reprimands, but it is absolutely impossible to bring them to justice.

There are too many people!

The law does not hold the public accountable!

What's more, they're all powerful!

As for the people, they can only continue to prevaricate and fool.

Don't ask, if you ask, there's no evidence!

The Great Song Dynasty ruled the country by law, how could it be easy to judge the case because of the words of an anti-thief?

In order to dissipate the influence of Li Gui, Kaifeng Prefecture began to send a large number of officials to the streets and alleys to post notices to publicize Li Gui's "great achievements".

What assassinated the emperor, the thief in Yushan, the "heavenly killing star", killing people is not counted, he loves to eat human flesh, and robs people's daughters......

In short, all kinds of stigmatization.

There are real and false in it, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.

The people did not see with their own eyes any such things as killing, eating human flesh, and robbing people's daughters, but they only saw that he saved hundreds of women, children and children, and they didn't believe the words of the court at all.

As for the rebellion and assassination of the emperor, everyone believes it, but after this incident, everyone now has little respect for the emperor, and they don't like to hear the story of Li Ghost assassinating the king, and Li Ghost killed Xiao Zhao, but the public likes to say it.

When a court has no credibility, the more propaganda it is, the more the people will understand it in reverse.

So, in a place that Ghost Li didn't know, the name of "Exorcist True Monarch" was confirmed by the people of the capital.

After the Imperial City Division reported these contents to Song Huizong, Zhao Ji was immediately furious, he was the only true god in the world, the Heavenly God Xiao Emperor descended to earth, the unique Yuqing Sect Master Subtle Dao Jun Emperor, a mere grass coward, what qualifications did he have to compare with him?

So after learning where Ghost Li was, he made an order, ordering Dongping Mansion to guard Cheng Wanli, and immediately send troops to recruit Liangshanbo, and the required manpower and materials were fully supplied by the military department.

Guess who this unlucky guy is?
