Chapter 314: Blood Splashed Imperial Court (4) Face Saint

PS: (Today, I continue to thank the book friend "The Group is Yuan" for the reward!) My work "Tianlong Undefeated" released a new chapter "Chapter 314 Blood Splashed Imperial Court (4) Face Saint", http://www./Book/3058817.aspx)

When everyone saw that Dongfang was undefeated and answered, they were all panicked.

And in the back seat, there are also Shangshu's left servant and subordinate servant Lu Dafang, Taizhong doctor Liu Zhi, Shangshu's right servant and Zhongshu waiter Su Song, privy direct bachelor signed academy secretary Wang Yansuo, Zuo Sizhu Guangting, Yushi Zhongcheng Shu Yan, criminal department waiter Zhao Yanruo, and household department Shangshu Liang Tao got up one after another to ask Dongfang Undefeated, but she refuted them one by one.

In desperation, almost all the ministers of the Song State in the palace looked at the highest Song scholar present, Su Shi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, hoping that he could export to deal with the undefeated Dongfang and save some face for the Great Song Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, in front of everyone's eyes, Su Shi got up and walked to Dongfang Undefeated, but said to her: "Marshal Dongfang, ten years ago, when the old man was demoted to Huangzhou, he said: 'Fang Qi broke Jingzhou, went down to Jiangling, went down the river to the east, traveled thousands of miles, covered the sky with flags, drank wine near the river, and wrote poems with a horizontal lance, and he was also a hero of the first generation, and now he is safe?" is talking about Cao Mengde, and according to what I can see now, such a 'male of a lifetime' old man finally knows where he is. ”

After Dongfang Undefeated heard this, he asked puzzledly: "Master Su, where is he?"

Su Shi said with a smile: "Haha, 'Now I am safe', far away in the sky, close in front of you, it is your Generalissimo of the East!"

Dongfang Undefeated heard this, and hurriedly saluted Su Shi and said, "Master Su praises falsely. How can Xiao Ke be able to bear such a good name?"

Just then, a man walked in from outside. The decree said: "There is a decree in the saint, and the Khitan envoy Dongfang is undefeated to go to the Zichen Palace to meet him." ”

As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately gathered around the east and marched towards the Zichen Hall in the north.

They came to the top of the main hall and saw the current Song Emperor Zhao Xu, who was later known in history as Zhezong, sitting on the dragon chair on the high steps.

He can also be regarded as an undefeated courtesy to the East, giving her a Taishi chair to sit on. The civil and military forces were lined up on both sides, and Su Shi stood beside the undefeated Dongfang.

Dongfang was undefeated to see that Zhao Xu was young and dignified. But with a sick face, he secretly thought that he had come to collect debts by this behavior, and he knew himself and his opponent, so that he could not be defeated in a hundred battles. To convince the person. Only by knowing his details can I unfold in my mind the records about him that I have read in the history books.

Song Zhezong Zhao Xu, formerly known as a maid, ascended the throne at the age of nine and was ruled by Empress Dowager Gao.

After Empress Dowager Gao came to power, she appointed Sima Guang as prime minister. In the eighth year of Yuan You, Empress Dowager Gao died, and Song Zhezong was in power. Zhezong expressed his instructions after his pro-government. chased and belittled Sima Guang, and belittled Su Shi, Su Zhe and other old party members in Lingnan. Then, he reused the reformist Zhangdun and restored the Baojia Law, the Exemption Law, and the Qingmiao Law in Wang Anshi's Reform Law, so as to reduce the burden on the peasants and improve the country's situation.

In the following year, he changed the Yuan to "Shaosheng", stopped negotiating with the Western Xia, and sent troops to crusade against the Western Xia many times, forcing the Western Xia to beg for peace with the Song Dynasty.

On January 12 of the lunar calendar of the third year of Yuanfu, the young son of heaven died of illness in Bianliang, reigned for 15 years, died at the age of 24, and was called Xianyuan Jidao Xiande Dinggong Qin Wenrui Wu Qi Shengzhaoxiao Emperor, buried in Yongtai Mausoleum in Gong County, Henan.

Song Zhezong was one of the more accomplished emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty. However, because the party struggle between the new party and the old party was not resolved, it further intensified during the reign of Song Zhezong, burying the scourge of the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.

The tragedy of Song Zhezong lies in the fact that the distance between his ideals and his actual ability is too great, and he is more like a figure who talks on paper, with many ideas in theory, but in practical application he lacks the ability to be flexible and subordinate to power, and it is difficult to deal with all kinds of complex contradictions and relationships.

Empress Dowager Xuanren Gao can be said to have worked quite hard for Song Zhezong from the beginning of the establishment to the deathbed will.

Song Zhezong was young and sick, but Empress Dowager Gao strictly ordered the imperial doctor not to be treated. Zhezong felt suffocated and constrained by this excessive "care", so as soon as Empress Dowager Gao died, Song Zhezong had to urgently change his course and implement the policy of changing the law of his revered father, Emperor Song Shenzong.

Although Song Zhezong admired his father's courage and courage, because of the Empress Dowager Gao's successor, her dedication and achievements, and her ideals and practical abilities, the contrast was really too great, and he fell into tragedy and could not extricate himself.

No one expected that before Dongfang Undefeated sorted out a set of suitable rhetoric, Zhao Xu had already taken the lead in expressing his position: "Marshal Dongfang, last year, my country should have paid your country's 'army assistance expenses' 100,000 taels of silver and 200,000 horses of silk, but due to the obstruction of your country's military disaster, it could not be delivered in time, and I am deeply sorry. Therefore, I have ordered the household department to collect this arrears, and it is planned to be sent to Xiongzhou for settlement together with the amount due this year, and the silver silk is being loaded into the treasury. If the marshal doesn't believe me, Lord Su can accompany you to inspect it. ”

Dongfang Undefeated heard this, and was overjoyed, and immediately got up to thank him.

Zhao Xu waved his hand and said, "Lord Marshal, you don't have to be polite, this time I have come from afar, and I feel guilty in my heart." In order to apologize, I specially set up a state banquet in the Shengping Building tonight, hoping that the marshal and other members of the mission would come to talk about the brotherhood between the Song and Liao states. ”

As soon as these words came out, Dongfang Undefeated immediately agreed, but he pondered in his heart: "I don't know what kind of medicine you sell in the little emperor's gourd." Oh, no matter what, sister, I'll 'stretch out my hand for clothes and open my mouth for food' today, see what you can do to me!"

After dusk, the sky is getting dark, and the lights in the Shengping Building have been lit.

At this moment, Dongfang Undefeated sat in the upper position on the left side of the banquet hall to receive guests, and her retinue sat at the bottom of it.

The tables in front of them were already full of all kinds of delicacies, which aroused the undefeated appetite of the East.

However, the host of this banquet had not yet taken the seat, so Dongfang Undefeated could only resist the urge to pick up the chopsticks, and turned to quietly exercise his skills, listening to the movement on the avenue leading to the main seat of the hall.

To her surprise, there were two main seats on the high platform.

After a while, footsteps sounded on the road, and although the footsteps of the person walking in front were heavy, the footsteps were still very light.

Based on his years of experience in martial arts, Dongfang Undefeated speculated that the qi veins and blood of that person's whole body had penetrated, and although he was also flesh and blood, he was different from others.

The group of people walked closer, Dongfang Undefeated couldn't help but glance at it, only to see a line of purple-clothed eunuchs walking into the main hall, and the one who walked in front turned out to be a eunuch.

Dongfang Undefeated saw it, and wondered slightly: "Huh, this person is obviously strong in martial arts, how can he be willing to commit himself to being a eunuch in the palace?"

When the eunuchs finished standing around the main seat, the eunuchs in front of them came out and shouted, "His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress Dowager have arrived!"

When the ministers heard this, they hurriedly got up and saluted: "Wechen greets Your Majesty! Wechen greets the Queen Mother! Long live Your Majesty, long live, Long live the Queen Mother!"

With the sound of everyone's mountain shouting long live, the Empress Dowager Gao took her grandson Zhao Xu to the state banquet in person, and slowly walked up the steps under the escort of four Ouchi masters with weapons in their hands, and then sat down on the two main seats side by side.

Dongfang Undefeated remembered that the history books once praised the Empress Dowager Gao, "since the curtain was lowered, the famous ministers were summoned, the new law was abolished, and the government was in power for nine years, the court was clear, and China was Sui'an." Put an end to internal luck, cut off the private favor of the outside family, the things offered by the Wensi Academy, no matter how big or small, do not take one of them for life...... 'people think that the female Zhong Yao Shun!'", but now she seems to be very tired, very old, and even a little nervous. (To be continued......)
