Chapter 212 The Emperor of Song Dynasty Must Surname Zhao
It turned out that the jade-arm craftsman Jin Dajian and the holy-hand scholar Xiao Rang teamed up to forge multiple copies of the Song Dynasty's imperial edicts and pass them on to various military generals who came to Qinwang.
He tried to sow discord among the various soldiers and horses. When the drum was ready, he took action and instigated the various soldiers and horses.
The soldiers and horses on the east road attack the soldiers and horses on the south road, and the soldiers and horses on the first road attack the soldiers and horses on the second road. They don't trust each other.
Qilin generals Lu Junyi, Shi Wengong, Han Qinhu, and Yan Shude took the opportunity to take action, led their elite troops to raid, threw the enemy army into chaos, and took the opportunity to kill the enemy general.
The soldiers and horses from all walks of life do not trust each other and are suspicious of each other. The soldiers do not trust the generals and the generals do not trust the soldiers. It is a mess.
As a result, they were defeated one by one by the Qi army. After that, they only needed to station some troops and horses in key areas, and then arrange some suspicious troops.
Therefore, Wang Lun was able to gather a large number of troops and horses, set up an ambush, and deceive the master.
In fact, it was not that Wang Lun and his group of counselors were smart, or that they were incompetent as teachers, but that the Song Dynasty was defeated because of the ignorant king and treacherous ministers, inconsistent orders, and internal instability.
Inside Bianjing City.
"Did you hear that? Zhong Shidao colluded with Wang Lun and probably sent a large army."
"I heard that Wang Lun, Zhong Shidao, and Li Gang divided up the Song Dynasty. Wang Lun was the Eastern Emperor, Zhong Shidao was the Western Emperor, and Li Gang was the Southern King."
"I heard that Wang Lun asked the officials to make Zhong Shidao the Grand Marshal of the World's Arms and Horses, and Li Gang to be the Prime Minister."
In Bianjing City, everyone from high-ranking officials to peddlers and foot soldiers were talking about it.
The atmosphere suddenly changed, and Zhong Shidao and Li Gang turned from saviors into thieves, and were suspected by everyone above and below them.
"Damn, hateful, this is obviously Wang Lun's treacherous plan!"
Master Zhong was so miserable that he couldn't explain it. He was so angry that he jumped up and down in his house. No matter how he explained it, others looked at him strangely even if they didn't say it to his face.
Li Gang stood on the top of the city, and the soldiers around him moved farther away intentionally or unintentionally.
"It's just a divorce plan, don't pay attention to it." Li Gang pretended to be calm and said to the deputy general next to him.
Rumors spread everywhere, Zhao Ji couldn't sit still, and appointed Sun Fu as the Minister of War. He became Minister of War, paid homage to Youcheng, Minister of War, and changed to Tongzhi of the Privy Council. He was superior to Zhong Shidao and Li Gang and took charge of the troops and horses in Bianjing City.
It is obvious that the Zhao Guan family has some distrust in Zhong Shidao and Li Gang, but they have not been dismissed yet.
Li Gang and Zhong Shidao couldn't sit still. They were as anxious as ants on a hot pot. Although Sun Fu was not a treacherous minister, he was also a passionate man, but he was a Jinshi and had held various official positions before, including secretary and supervisor.
, a standard civil servant.
He has never experienced war and has never commanded troops.
In their opinion, Sun Fu is a standard nerd.
"Well, now that His Majesty doesn't trust you and me, we are helpless."
Zhong Shidao sighed, as a general, what he fears most is the emperor's distrust.
"Commander Zhong, when the prince ascended the throne at the age of eighteen, he is already twenty-three or four years old."
Li Gang hesitated for a moment and lowered his voice. He had some friendship with Prince Zhao Huan and could be considered a princeling.
"Hiss~ The rebels in the world are claiming that His Majesty is fatuous and the treacherous ministers are in power to cause chaos. If the new emperor comes to the throne, kills the treacherous ministers and re-employs the loyal ministers and good generals, wouldn't it win the hearts of the people and revitalize our Song Dynasty?"
Zhong Shidao glanced at Li Gang and saw that he was doing it more for public reasons than for personal reasons, and his eyes lit up.
As long as Zhao Ji is still the emperor, Cai Jing and other treacherous officials will definitely still control the government. After so many years, the emperor cannot do without these treacherous officials.
In the eyes of the world, Cai Jing is a treacherous minister, but in the eyes of today's emperor, Cai Jing is a loyal minister who is effective in doing things and wins his heart.
As long as Cai Jing and other treacherous ministers control the government and bring trouble to the government, even if Wang Lun is defeated this time, there will still be Li Lun and Zhao Lun.
Therefore, Cai Jing and other traitorous officials must be eliminated!
But the emperor did not allow Cai Jing to be removed!
Then there can only be one emperor and one courtier!
What's more, the prince's accession to the throne is reasonable and legal. The emperor is already addicted to Taoism, so he just has time.
The two hit it off immediately, contacted many ministers in the DPRK and China, and jointly submitted a memorial the next day.
Please ask the prince to ascend the throne and change the Yuan Dynasty!
Cai Jing and others objected. Your Majesty is now in your prime and in good health.
The two groups got into a quarrel.
Zhao Ji stared at Zhao Huan, Li Gang, Zhong Shidao, Cai Jing and others without expression, with mixed emotions.
That's all, that's all, this mess is just for you to play with.
"The prince can ascend the throne, and I will be the supreme emperor!"
Zhao Ji was silent for a long time, and the sound of a drop of sweat could be heard in the court hall. After burning a stick of incense, he spoke.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"I will definitely help the prince to put down the rebellion!"
Zhong Shidao and Li Gang looked at each other and couldn't help but feel happy in their hearts. After the prince officially ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to ask the new emperor to remove Cai Jing and other traitorous officials.
Cai Jing and others looked at Zhao Guan's family in disbelief, as if they were mourning for an heir.
"The young master who was exempted from the imperial examination, Tongzhi Privy Council, and the propaganda envoy of the two rivers in the capital, was changed to the pacification envoy of the southwestern route of Beijing, and went to conquer the rebels of Wang Qing."
"Li Gang was relieved of his duties as Shangshu Youcheng, and he personally went to camp as an envoy. He was appointed as Jiangnan East Road pacification envoy to suppress Fang La."
Zhao Ji looked at Zhong Shidao and Li Gang coldly, issued the last two imperial edicts, and immediately returned to the palace without waiting for the officials to object.
"Your Majesty, we can learn from our loyalty~"
Zhong Shidao and Li Gang were struck by thunder and thunder, and they quickly knelt down to worship.
"Everyone, don't be confused. I, the prince, are going to find your majesty."
Prince Zhao Heng stood up, appeased all the civil and military officials, and rushed to the harem to discuss with Zhao Ji.
"Father, sons and ministers have no second thoughts. All matters in the court, big or small, are decided by the father. I hope that the father will be kind and allow Zhong Shidao and Li Gang to stay in the capital."
Zhao Huan was very worried. These two generals were his own, and he had to rely on them to defend the city.
"Humph, Prince, you must remember the teachings of your ancestors. Zhong Shidao and Li Gang have too high prestige in the army. If they are left in the city and defeat Wang Lun, their prestige will be unmatched."
"When the time comes, they will raise their arms and shout that this Song Dynasty will no longer have the surname Zhao!"
Zhao Ji angrily pointed at Zhao Huan's head. Our great ancestor was the general of the Imperial Army, and Chen Qiao Bingzhang came to the throne.
We have to guard against that group of generals!
"Cai Jing and others are a bit greedy and have a bad reputation, but these people can do things and can help you. These people will not rebel, because if they want to rebel, no one in the world will agree!"
"But Zhong Shidao is different from Li Gang. These two have won the hearts and minds of the people and the army, so we have to guard against them."
Zhao Ji educated Zhao Huan, you are the prince and the prince, you must have great power and know the way of the emperor!
"But without Zhongshi Dao and Li Gang, who can defend the city?"
Zhao Huan didn't have any special feelings for Zhong Shidao and Li Gang, but now that Wang Lun was approaching the city, he needed talents like Zhong Shidao and Li Gang.
"Previously, Zhongshidao sent troops but failed to defeat Wang Lun. Li Gang was able to defend the capital. It was because the capital was high and the pond was deep, and the soldiers used their lives."
"The same thing goes for another person to take command. The Privy Council knows Sun Fu. He is very loyal and has no partisans in the army. He is an excellent candidate to defend the city."
"Besides, Wang Lun is a traitor who will never succeed. I have already issued an edict to make Tian Hu the King of Jin and Fang La the King of the South. I promised them land and ordered them to attack Wang Lun."
Zhao Ji looks like you are too naive, we have plenty of means.
"You remember, all people in the world belong to the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty must have the surname Zhao!"
Zhao Ji roared at Zhao Huan with a ferocious face.
