Chapter 2 Guo Daxian, don't be afraid, I am a good person(1/2)
At this time, there was a middle-aged man on the Xuanhua Gate Tower of the South City Gate. He was wearing a Taoist robe and holding a sword in his hand. This man was naturally Guo Jing, the famous magic stick in the late Northern Song Dynasty.
There is an old man next to him. He is thin but stands upright. This man is Zhang Shuye, a famous official in the late Northern Song Dynasty.
In addition, there were Sun Fu, the Minister of War and Privy Councilor, and several officials of the Ministry of War.
Guo Jing was invited by Sun Fu.
There were also several officials beside Zhang Shuye.
Zhang Shuye's eldest son, Zhang Bofen, said angrily: "Sun Shangshu, I have never heard of anyone who can use ghosts and gods to succeed. Now the golden thieves are besieging the city and using soldiers to defend them is the right way. You firmly believe in the chaotic power of ghosts and gods, are you not afraid of being laughed at?"
Sun Fu was furious: "You are so bold! Guo Daxian is the person sent from heaven to save our Song Dynasty, and the officials have appointed him as the commander-in-chief to defend against the enemy! Are you trying to disobey the Holy Will?"
Zhang Bofen wanted to speak again, but Zhang Shuye stopped him.
After all, Sun Fu is one of the emperor's most trusted people. If he contradicts him like this, it is a trivial matter to lose his official position. How can he defend the city after he is arrested?
Speaking of which, Jin soldiers besieged the city twice.
The first time was at the beginning of this year, when the Jin army from all walks of life gathered in Tokyo during the siege of the city. The Jin army later returned without success.
Now is the second time. During the second siege of the city, various Qinwang armies were on the road and could not reach Tokyo in time.
However, a force of 30,000 troops led by Zhang Shuye fought bloody battles and entered Tokyo City, with more than 10,000 troops left.
This is why Zhang Bofen is so angry. We organize our troops to fight the enemy bravely and defend the capital. How about you invite a Taoist priest to fool everyone?
However, Sun Fu was the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Privy Councilor of Tongzhi.
What is the official position of Tongzhi Privy Council?
The Song Dynasty had a system of two mansions, the East Palace and the West Palace.
The East Palace is in charge of administrative officials, the West Palace is in charge of military affairs, the West Palace is the Privy Council, and the Tongzhi Privy Council is equivalent to the Deputy Privy Envoy.
The deputy privy envoy was equivalent to the rank of deputy prime minister. Zhang Bofen was just a minor official in front of him.
Even Zhang Shuye's level is lower than Sun Fu.
Zhang Shuye glanced at Guo Jing coldly and said, "When will Guo Daxian send troops?"
Guo Jing said: "I will send troops now, but there is a condition."
"What conditions?"
"Everyone on the tower must go down to the city!"
Zhang Shuye said in a deep voice: "No!"
Guo Jing smiled and said: "Ms. Sun, if there are other people standing on the tower, the technique will not work."
Zhang Bofen couldn't help but said: "Absurd!"
Sun Fu immediately said: "Do as Guo Daxian said, and all the soldiers guarding the city will go down to the city!"
Zhang Bofen said: "No! Never!"
"You are brave! I am Tongzhi Privy Councilor and Minister of the Ministry of War. The government has given me full responsibility for defense and defense. This is a military order. If you do not follow it, you will be punished according to military law!"
Zhang Shuye quickly stopped his son.
He said: "You can also go down to the city, but I have to be at the city tower. If not, there will be no chance of doing this today!"
Guo Jing rolled his eyes and said, "Okay."
So everyone went down from the tower, leaving Zhang Shuye and Guo Jing on the tower.
This scene in history is about to take place.
If Zhang Shuye in history learned that the city of Tokyo was destroyed because of Guo Jing's evil deeds, would he risk his life to stop it?
The fall of Bianliang, Tokyo, in Chinese history, was by no means as simple as a group of people being kidnapped.
Just like the fall of Constantinople in 1453, it had a huge impact on European history.
After the Jingkang Incident, China began to require women to maintain chastity, and due to the fall of the Central Plains, it further affected the ideology of the Southern Song Dynasty, so that scholars became more conservative, and this conservatism directly affected the Ming Dynasty in later generations.
Guo Jing raised the long sword in his hand and muttered something. The soldiers he had prepared below raised their heads and looked at Guo Daxian in confusion.
This is probably the most ridiculous scene in Chinese history. The mighty Song Dynasty actually handed over the destiny of the country to a charlatan.
Guo Jing shouted: "Open the door!"
Zhang Shuye said: "What?"
"I say open the door!"
"Why are you opening the door?"
"Of course, let them go out to fight against the gold thieves. They are now protected by magic soldiers!" He pointed to the soldiers below who were composed of ruffians. These were found by Guo Jing in Tokyo based on Taoist calculations.
The ruffians below looked left and right: Do I have a magic weapon to protect my body?
Before Zhang Shuye could speak, Sun Fu shouted loudly: "Didn't you hear it? The Immortal said he wanted to open the door! Open the door quickly!"
Everyone hesitated, and the soldiers opened the door in confusion.
At this moment, a voice shouted angrily: "Don't open the door! Don't open the door!"
Zhao Ning came galloping over on horseback. A lot of snow had fallen on his head, and his hands were red from the cold, but he was completely unconscious.
Sun Fu was furious: "Who dares to make a mistake?"
He turned around and looked around. He didn't know what to expect. He was shocked when he saw that it was the emperor who had arrived.
He quickly led everyone over and said flatteringly: "Guanjia, why are you here..."
Zhao Ning, however, didn't even look at them. He pulled the reins hard, and the horse neighed twice, raised its front legs, and then stopped.
Zhao Ning took a deep breath. He didn't bother to look for Guo Jing carefully. Instead, he shouted angrily: "If anyone dares to open this city gate today, I will chop off his head!"
The soldiers who were just about to open the city gate stood there in fear and did not dare to move.
Zhang Shu saw the emperor coming at night and hurried down to the city: "Guan, why are you here?"
Zhao Ning ignored Zhang Shuye, but stared at the city gate and shouted: "Stay away from the city gate!"
The soldiers immediately retreated from the city gate.
At this time, Guo Jing, Sun Fu and others came over.
Zhao Ning seemed to still have turbulent waves tumbling in his heart. He took a few deep breaths, ignored everyone, and looked around.
After confirming that the city gate had not been opened, he breathed a sigh of relief.
so close!
It is said that Zhao Huan, Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty, lived in a thatched hut when he went to the north.
Almost! I was almost going to live in a five-star hut in the north!
"Guardian, in this snowy day, you should return to the palace quickly. If the holy body is injured, what will happen to the people and the country..." Sun Fu said hurriedly.
Zhao Ning continued to take a few deep breaths, but his whole body was still tense.
After all, I was very close to meeting the same fate as Zhao Huan.
The backs of his palms were covered in cold sweat.
These unruly people want to harm me!
"Official, I was going to cast a spell to drive away the gold thieves, but unexpectedly I disturbed the Holy Master. I deserve death!" But it was Guo Jing who came up with a righteous look on his face.
Although Guo Jing looks calm on the outside, he is also nervous inside.
He claimed to be a "Liujia Divine Weapon" before, but he himself knew how much he weighed and how much he gained by cheating on food and drink. If he really had this ability, the Jin Army would have been doomed long ago.
Originally, he wanted to deceive him for a while before quietly escaping from Tokyo City, but he didn't expect the pressure from above to be tight, so he bit the bullet today and came here with a group of recruited ruffians.
When we got to the top of the city, we were ready to show off.
Don't tell me, in history, Guo Jing really succeeded in pretending.
The reason why he succeeded was that Song Qinzong and his minister Sun Fu were really weird.
You said that Confucianism flourished in the Song Dynasty. After all, Master Confucius once said: The master does not speak, but his strange power confuses his spirit.
After Zhao Ning came back to his senses, he glanced around and his eyes fell on this man wearing Taoist robes. He was Guo Jing.
He took a few more deep breaths to calm down.
"Are you Guo Jing?"
"In the official family, the ministers are right."
"Do you really know how to use the Six Armor Divine Weapon?"
"I dare not deceive Your Majesty."
Zhao Guanjia asked again: "Can you repel the Jin soldiers immediately?"
"I have cast a spell for them. As long as they attack, the gold thieves will be defeated immediately." Guo Jing felt a little scared in his heart, but he still gritted his teeth and pointed at the group of ruffians at the gate of the city.
"Can I cast the spell today?"
