Chapter 872: Yanshan Snow, Yanshan Blood (Twenty-Three)
As soon as he broke off, others were not good, but Zhao Liangsi turned blue in an instant!
In the Zhao and Song dynasties, the so-called "ruling the world with scholars" was just a fait accompli by mistake. The pen is interesting and the pavilion is www.biquge.info the ancestor of the art is strong, the emperor is jealous of carving, and the scholar is just a chess piece used to balance the military ministers. And in the next two generations of official families, Zhenzong is just a gifted god, and Renzong is even weaker and less assertive, and he is not a real strong king.
However, during the period of the two generations of emperors of Zhen and Ren, there was a Khitan in the north, and Yuanhao of the Western Xia rebelled and stood on his own, which was the critical moment when he needed to use troops abroad. But the so-called forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty, the so-called border army, still with five generations of chaotic army faction, the military generals are happy to eat empty salaries, soldiers on weekdays to harm the place, go into battle to get a reward first, so that the country's major politics rely on those ethical and capable Confucian ministers to support.
It is precisely because of the famous ministers in the Zhen and Ren years that the foundation of "scholars and kings share the world" was laid.
But in the era of Zhao Ji, the Daojun Emperor, the party struggle with no lower limit made the central power return to the hands of the officials. However, after the excessive concentration of power, workaholics such as Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di who work more than ten hours a day are needed to effectively maintain the operation of the central system. But Zhao Ji would rather spend a day painting a few strokes of flowers and birds, than bother to review any chapters, and his grasp of the court situation is nothing more than the emperor's mental trick of balancing among the courtiers.
The emperor took the lead in destroying the central system, and many things that seemed incredible in the Shenzong and Zhezong dynasties became natural. Taoist officials like Lin Lingsu and Xu Xuanling, who are favored by Zhao Ji, are not only personal advisers in charge of the royal Zhaijiao etiquette and the emperor's dream of immortality, but they have directly received a large piece of cake in the power center of the Great Song Dynasty, and even the official selection can be inserted.
Compared with the real scholars, these Taoist officials are more dependent on the imperial power, and even more closely related to the emperor than the scholars and scholars, and they are similar to the inner palace eunuchs such as Liang Shicheng. Since Zhao Ji ascended the throne, political alliances between Taoist officials and chamberlains abound.
Maybe in front of Cai Jing and Wang Hao, these top-notch ministers, Xu Xuanling, a popular Taoist official, is not a threat, but in the face of Zhao Lianghe, a baseless southbound minister, it is almost a judge Yama Luo who has a word to die!
However, Zhao Liangsi's face soon returned to normal - even if Xu Xuanling pushed Zhuo Yi Erzhou to surrender early in the morning, every step was ahead of everyone. But from Hebei to Bianliang, even if the fastest gold plate is delivered urgently, it will take a lot of time to reach Bianliang, where can I get the news immediately?
At this time, as long as his family returned to the Xuanfu camp safely, the charge of "burning the city and absconding" would become an entangled pen and ink lawsuit, and naturally there were big names such as Tong Guan and Wang Hao against Xu Xuanling.
Although there will inevitably be many twists and turns in the career in the future, it is much better than falling into the hands of this group of Taoist officials!
With his mind decided, Zhao Liangsi glanced at Yao Pingzhong, and the two of them slammed the horse's belly together, forcing the mount to move forward-
However, halfway through the horse, on the tiles beside the road, the plain white snow suddenly moved.
The snow stayed on the roof tiles for a long time, and the winter sun tried its best to give a glimmer of warmth to the world, only to melt their originally disconnected hexagonal ice flowers slightly, and then they were frozen by the cold wind, covering the snow with a thin layer of ice.
The snow on the tiles, the residual snow under the tiles, gradually lost the delicacy of the ice flowers under this layer of ice clothing, and only blindly coarse, slowly stagnating. But at this moment, the layer of ice clothes shattered in an instant, whether it was light ice or stagnant snow, all of them scattered into crystal but cold powder. If you look closely, every grain of crushed ice, which is tiny than millet rice, blooms into a hexagonal crystal flower with a perfectly symmetrical shape, dancing down without wind!
The sky is full of snow, and in an instant, it is plain white.
The snow was originally colorless, but the frost crystals reflected the light, reflecting a piece of purity.
Pieces of crystal flowers are floating in the wind, but they are connected one by one, like an army marching, in an orderly order.
In the snow, the square crown skirt flashed, and the magic mirror in his hand shone brightly, which reminded people of the god of the green girl who fell in the snow.
However, such an immortal atmosphere was directly broken by someone: "Wang Cong'er, you don't need to appear here, those dwarves that Yan Fulong met over there are the places you should pay attention to!"
Wei Ye shouted, the snow in the sky condensed, and the figure of the young woman in the square crown skirt fell, and she first bowed to the immortal warlock: "Shijun Rongyu, there is an urgent military situation in the north, yes-"
Speaking of this, she glanced at Yue Fei and his party behind Wei Ye in embarrassment, but was waved by the immortal warlock indifferently: "Pengju is his own person, so there is no need to keep it secret from him." Zhao Liangsi and Yao Pingzhong are just swimming fish at the bottom of the kettle, and it doesn't matter if they hear it!"
Determined by Wei Ye's words, Zhao Liangsi wanted to scold a few words, but he found that his mount involuntarily retreated.
Horses are naturally sensitive animals and are more sensitive to changes in their environment and dangers than some primates at the top of the food chain.
Although it was only snowflakes, these war horses were instinctively unwilling to move forward, and it was useless to let Zhao Liangsi and Yao Pingzhong whip and urge them to catch up.
And in their slightly embarrassed state, the plain-clothed woman in front of her was holding the bronze mirror in her hand, but she glanced at them.
Just one glance makes people feel cold!
It was not the spiritual cold, but the physical cold, and countless flying snow enveloped their bodies with the cold eyes of the female crown, flying like a chain.
Frost and snow are extremely fragile things in nature, and people can melt a few snow flakes as long as they take a breath, but Zhao Liangsi and Yao Pingzhong are bound by the virtual chain formed by a hundred snows and thousands of frosts at this moment! Even the official uniforms and leather armor on their bodies are compressed into a series of sunken dents between the chains of frost and snow, and the whole person looks like a five-spiced boneless elbow tied with twine threads ready to go to the pot.
It's just that the body is bound, but at the same time that the frost and snow are in chains, the air around Zhao Liangsi and Yao Pingzhong is also imprisoned by this cold, and they don't even dare to have the slightest intention of flowing, so there is no channel for sound transmission.
This kind of silence ban is much more thorough than stuffing rags.
After dealing with the two culprits who caused this turmoil, Wang Cong'er began her military intelligence briefing: "The northern sentinel reported that the Khitan army had left Yanjing and was heading towards us. The Jurchen military horses also have signs of crossing the Gubei Pass and heading south!"
