He rubbed his brows and was about to speak when he suddenly heard Master Zhong stand up and said: "Guan Jia, I think that the imperial court's move south is not a matter of leisure and needs to be considered in the long term.
This is a national policy, and envoys should be sent to the southeast in advance to make various preparations for moving the capital. I believe that this will take at least half a year.
Therefore, for the time being, at least for half a year, there will be no chaos in Tokyo and Hebei and Henan. Even if the imperial court moves south in the future, Tokyo must have people stay behind and cannot abandon it easily. Otherwise, the imperial court will lose the hearts of the world."
Zhao Ji nodded slowly and said, "What Mr. Zhong Aiqing said makes sense, and I think so too.
I and the imperial court moved south, but it does not mean that I no longer want our ancestors Jiangshan Sheji. Henan and Hebei are still the territory of the Song Dynasty, how can we just abandon them?"
Zhang Jun, Ma Kuo and Huang Qishan, who were mixed in the crowd, lowered their heads and cursed shamelessly.
As long as you can keep your ancestors' country at heart, you won't be obsessed with fleeing south.
Zhang Jun and others had given up. No matter how many battles they won, it would be difficult to erase the deep-rooted fear of the Jin soldiers in the hearts of the emperor and Tang Ke.
If they get the chance, they'll run.
"Officials, people in Tokyo are currently in turmoil. Scholars, merchants, and ordinary people from all over the country are gathering in the city. I am afraid that there will be unrest." Zhong Shidao said again.
Zhao Ji said disapprovingly: "Qing Zhong, don't worry, there won't be any chaos."
Outside the palace, the voices of those outside the palace calling for Wang Lin's name to be rectified became louder and louder than ever before. People took to the streets under the Ten Thousand People's Umbrella umbrella, and scholars signed letters of blood. How could Zhao Ji not know this? It's just that he felt that he had military power in his hands and there was no need to worry about anything.
Furthermore, as long as Wang Lin dies, everything will return to peace.
Now Wang Lin has been seriously injured and is determined to be a wind disease caused by the infection of a large area caused by an arrow wound. Even if he is lucky enough to survive, he will be a waste in the future and will never be able to fight again.
Tang Ke smiled slightly: "Old Xianggong, you are too worried. The Imperial Guards in Beijing are in the hands of the officials and me, so there is nothing to worry about if some scholars make trouble. Of course, the officials and ministers still think that we should eradicate the roots and eradicate them forever.
future trouble!"
As soon as Tang Ke said these words, the noisy ministers finally fell silent.
Zhong Shidao hesitated for a moment, then bowed and said: "Guan family, I second the proposal!"
In the past few days, Master Zhong's heart has become increasingly unsettled.
He always felt that something would happen. As long as Wang Lin was still alive, everything was subject to change.
We can only make a decisive decision immediately and kill him to avoid future troubles.
Zhao Ji was silent for a moment and said softly: "Tang Qing, Zhong Qing, I still can't bear it. After all, Wang Lin and I are considered to be kings and ministers..."
Tang Ke said: "If an official kills a snake but does not die, he will suffer backlash. I believe that if the crime is discussed by the three judges and the punishment is correct, the Yi Wanglin family will never have future troubles!"
All the ministers were shocked and looked up at Tang Ke with a cold expression.
Master Zhong took a breath of air, thinking that Tang Ke was so vicious, and it would not be a good thing for the Song Dynasty if he was allowed to stay in the court for a long time.
Zhong Shidao just wanted to kill Wang Lin alone.
But Tang Ke advocated the destruction of Wang Lin's entire clan, and was not even prepared to spare the newborn babies.
Geng Nanzhong did not hesitate and immediately came out and said: "I second the proposal! Wang Lin is a rare eldest woman in a hundred years since the founding of the Song Dynasty. She has done great evil. Her crimes are so obvious that she should be punished by the entire clan to set an example!"
Zhang Jun's expression suddenly changed.
The two of them, Tang and Geng, can no longer be described as "female cadres and sycophants".
His actions were cruel and his morals were ruined. He was on par with Cai Jing and Gao Qiu back then! He was even better than him!
When Huang Qishan heard this, he sighed deeply and burst into tears.
He walked out of the class slowly, stood in front of Tang and Geng, and said word by word: "Tang Ke, you have evil intentions and you are unworthy of being the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty!"
Tang Ke sneered and said nothing.
Huang Qishan took off his official hat with one hand, bowed and said: "Official family, I am already disabled, and I have no face to live high in the temple. I am begging for my bones today!"
After saying that, Huang stood up, turned around and walked away proudly.
Ma Kuo and Zhang Jun sighed lightly, then came out and took off their official hats, kowtowed to the ground: "The officials, with the merits of King Yan,
Fighting to the death for the country will not lead to a happy ending, and the ministers are really heartbroken.
With the two thieves Tang and Geng here, I will no longer serve as an official, so please beg for my bones!"
Zhao Ji rubbed his hands and said with some embarrassment: "Two dear friends, I know that you are loyal to the country, so why is it like this? Why is it like this!"
Zhang Jun stood up, took one last deep look at Zhao Ji, then looked around at the ministers and noble clan members and said loudly: "My colleagues, even if the imperial court wants to move south, if the Jin people invade south, they still need good generals to guard the country. Otherwise, the imperial court will be on the southeastern half of the wall.
It is also difficult to remain content.
Now that the country is facing a crisis, we in the court do not think about resisting the Jin Dynasty. Instead, we take pleasure in punishing the meritorious officials.
When the news spread, the majesty of the imperial court was completely lost.
From today on, no one is willing to fight to the death for the Song Dynasty. Even if you kill King Yan, you will not be able to escape the people of the world, and you will be infamy for eternity!"
Tang Ke angrily rebuked: "Nonsense! I, the great general of the Song Dynasty, are like clouds, as loyal to the country as Mr. Zhong, and can conquer the good warriors with the strength of his chariots and battles. How can I be more than just one Wang Lin?"
Zhang Jun snorted: "If the Zhong family was capable, why would they have been besieged by Wanyan Zonghan's army in Taiyuan for several months! If it weren't for the mainstay of King Yan, the Song Dynasty would have died long ago!"
Ma Kuo sneered: "The children of the Zhong family have been in the army for a long time, eating empty pay and drinking the blood of the soldiers! The Zhong family controls the military, and the Western Army has long been called the Zhong family army. Why do you pretend to be ignorant?"
Zhang Jun and Ma Kuo said no more, turned around and walked away.
What surprised Tang Kè, Geng Nan Zhong and others was that among the 71 people who followed them to impeach Wang Lin, more than ten nobles came out one after another. Without saying a word, they took off their official hats and begged for his bones, retired and returned home.
…
The news that the palace wanted to kill Wang Lin's entire family soon spread throughout the capital.
The capital became even more chaotic.
The Tokyo people, who were aggrieved by Wang Lin, almost surrounded the Ruyang Marquis Mansion and the Imperial City, blocking the roads, making it difficult for Zhongxi, who led the imperial army in Beijing to send troops to suppress him, to march.
The West Camp and the East Camp of the Forbidden Army in Beijing were invisibly divided by the huge flow of people.
Zhong Shidao and Zhong Xi felt that the situation was not good.
It was hard for them to imagine that Wang Lin's prestige among the people could reach such a high level.
Millions of people in the capital were running around shouting and shouting for it. They realized something was wrong from this morning. Outside, beside Qing Jun, the voice of "killing the country's thieves" started at some unknown time, and turned into "kill the faint king, kill the country's thieves!"
Zhong Shidao looked horrified. He thought of the Chinese people in the Western Zhou Dynasty.
In 841 BC, dissatisfied with the tyranny of King Zhou Li, the "Chinese people" from Haojing gathered together, armed with sticks and farm tools, and besieged the palace to kill King Zhou Li.
It’s for the people of the country.
The situation in Tokyo is somewhat similar to that of Chinese people in ancient times.
Zhong Shidao and Zhong Xi looked at each other, their hearts growing colder.
After this, the royal family of Zhao and Song Dynasty may have lost the support of the people.
…
In the Imperial City, under the Mingde Gate, the Imperial City Guards stood in groups armed with weapons and stood on top of the city tower with extremely complex expressions.
The square in front of the city gate and even the two streets leading outside the imperial city were densely crowded with countless Tokyoites.
The scene was buzzing with people. A thirty-year-old Confucian scholar in green clothes actually climbed up to the tall archway, stood on it, raised his arms and shouted, reciting an eloquent poem "Chasing the Failing King Zhao Jixi":
"Gai heard that the Ming Dynasty wanted to control the crisis, and loyal ministers were worried about it and it was difficult to establish power. Therefore, if there are extraordinary people, then extraordinary things will happen; if there are extraordinary things, then extraordinary efforts will be done. Those who are extraordinary are definitely planned by extraordinary people.
also……
Today, Zhao Ji has inherited the kindness of his ancestors and placed himself above the scholars and the people for more than 20 years. He has been cruel and unethical, his lust has made his mind dim, and he has made constant mistakes.
monarch.
Over the years, words have been blocked and flattery has fallen on deaf ears, which has led to evil women taking power, greed and greed, capable people falling into slander, loyal people being killed, government chaos, and chronic diseases that will never return.
However, if the tax collection is too heavy, it robs the people of their wealth, and the garrison corvee is too heavy, which robs the soldiers of their strength, the source of profit has been exhausted, but those who seek profit are still punished; the army's clothing and food are not in time,
But those who eat too much sit back and enjoy wealth.
It can be said that the people's livelihood is poor and extravagance is common. Disasters occur frequently, but they are still not aware of it. There are many complaints among the people, but there is no way to know.
Today, the Jin Kingdom invades the Song Dynasty and plunders Hebei and Henan. At the time of the national crisis, this foolish king does not think about resisting the Jin Dynasty and defending the country, and does not think about correcting the dynasty. Instead, he favors the ministers who trust the female cadres and sycophants. He takes pleasure in killing the heroes and seizing power. He wants to abandon millions of people.
The people fled to the south and the southeast, where will the ancestral temple be placed?..."
The Confucian scholars shouted at the top of the memorial arch until they were hoarse, spittle flying everywhere: "The destruction of the country and the annihilation of the clan are just around the corner. The only one who can save thousands of common people and the people of the Song Dynasty from disaster to disaster is the King of Yan!"
"Destroy the faint king, punish the traitors of the country, and ask the king of Yan to take the throne, so that the world can be established!"
The Confucian scholar's shouts immediately aroused a response like a roaring mountain and a tsunami. The shouts of countless people shook the heaven and the earth. The bright sunshine spread from the sky and projected on the faces of the enthusiastic people who looked like they had been injected with chicken blood.
"Destroy the faint king and punish the traitors in the country. Please ask King Yan to take the throne and establish the world!"
Thunderous roars swept through the palace city, and Zhao Ji and his concubines changed their faces when they heard it. Even though they knew that the palace city was safe and was firmly guarded by his dragon guards, Zhao Ji was still scared and broke out in a cold sweat.
Dozens of courtiers including Tang Kegeng, Geng Nanzhong, who had taken people into hiding in the imperial city in advance, gathered anxiously in the Yanfu Palace and denounced the father and son of Zhong Shidao who were in charge of the army for their incompetence and inability to suppress the situation, which caused the situation to completely get out of control.
From the palace city to the imperial city, from Central Street to the east and west military camps, and then to the major city gates, the traffickers and soldiers in the outer city rushed to tell each other, and they were rushing towards the center of the storm, the imperial city.
Little did Tang Ke and others know that Zhong Shidao and his son were in the West Camp at the moment, but they were surrounded by tens of thousands of passionate soldiers in the Chinese army's tent, and could not leave even half a step outside the tent.
The slogan of "Destroy the faint king, kill the traitors of the country, and restore the throne of King Yan" was going on. Through the window, Zhong Shidao saw Hua Rong and Wu Song leading a group of troops to gallop to the gate of the camp, which immediately aroused enthusiastic cheers from the soldiers.
, then my heart immediately sank to the bottom.
It’s over!
Zhong Shidao suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhong Xi. Zhong Xi was stunned and his shoulders were shaking violently.
"Wang Lin is tricking?! He... wants to usurp the throne and proclaim himself emperor!" Master Zhong and his son looked horrified.
The two of them were sweating coldly, as if they were waking up from a dream.
Thinking about it, only Wang Lin has the energy and ability to control the hearts and minds of the army and the people.
From beginning to end, the imperial capital was firmly controlled by Wang Lin. The comeback and power of Tang Ke and others was nothing more than an illusion for Wang Lin to guide public opinion.
