Zhao Kuangyin was a military general. He became the emperor of the Song Dynasty due to the Chenqiao mutiny. Therefore, he was extremely scrupulous about the military power of military generals. For this reason, he deposed him and killed many loyal ministers and generals, such as Huyan Shouting. Zhao Kuangyin's descendants have always been generals.
In this dynasty, Taizu's way of governing the country by belittling military commanders was regarded as family law and was implemented meticulously.
To debase military generals, one naturally had to rely on civilian officials. Therefore, the Northern Song Dynasty had always implemented the national policy of using civilized officials to control military officials. For the benefit of their own class, the civil servants were willing to be the emperor's lackeys and spared no effort to suppress military generals.
This time, Brother Hu Yanzhuo was on the edge of a knife.
First, they were the famous generals who founded the country, and the older they became, the more reactionary they became; second, their ancestor Hu Yanshou Ting was killed by the Taizu of this dynasty, and his family had a feud with Zhao and Song; third,
Hu Yanzhuo is capable and has won the hearts of the military. Hu Yanqing is proficient in Khitan, Xixia, Goryeo, Tubo and even Jurchen foreign languages. If you think carefully, this is a precursor to foreign countries! Fourth, the Huyan brothers do not give gifts to the adults in the court...
So after receiving the secret report from the Imperial City Department, when the official reported it to the Privy Council, countless people became excited - to be able to bring down the generals of the Hu family is a great feat that will leave a name in history! Look what kind of thing he did.
? Not only did he allow his subordinates to insult the Taizu of this dynasty, but he also shot him over and over again. As for colluding with the Liangshan grass bandits, it was nothing.
This crime is definitely a crime that involves the execution of a whole family and the disgrace of their bones. In order to turn this matter into a solid case, countless people participated enthusiastically.
Under such turmoil, if it had not been for Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, the lives of Hu Yanzhuo and his family would have been over long ago.
When the official read the memorials from the civil servants and looked at the secret report from the Imperial City Division, his first thought was not to quickly implement the family law of his ancestors, but to marvel at Ximen Qing's literary talents and sigh to Zhao who was holding him in his arms.
Yuan Nu said: "It is the prime minister's fault to let such talents be left in the bushes!"
Zhao Yuannu looked at the libretto of "Down to the East" copied by the secret agent, his eyes shone, and he rubbed it in Huizong's arms like a coquettish fool: "The official sage, this Ximen Qing talent is so rare, so the official took him
Get hired!"
Huizong sighed: "This person actually slandered the Taizu of our dynasty. If I recruit him, I'm afraid the ministers in the dynasty will criticize him!"
Zhao Yuannu curled his lips and said: "What is this? In the Tang Dynasty, Bai Xiangshanming wrote a poem about Tang Minghuang and Yang Guifei picking up the ashes. It was recited by thousands of people, and the emperor was full of praise after reading it! Could it be that we, the official of the Song Dynasty,
Isn’t my family as good as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty?”
When Huizong saw Zhao Yuannu's red lips slightly curled up, his aura at that moment was really shocking. How could he hold it back? So he said perfunctorily: "Beauty, let's think about it in the long term, think about it in the long term..." He casually wrote his approval in the memorial.
After a "long-term plan", he hurriedly took Zhao Yuannu away to shout the wind of Gaotang and the rain of Wushan.
Thanks to the words "long-term planning", the officials thought that the official wanted to gain the reputation of a "benevolent monarch", so they were much less harsh on Hu Yanzhuo. Cai Jing thought of the elder brother of his beloved concubine Murong, the prefect of Qingzhou Mu.
Rong Yanda's three-year promotion period is about to expire, why not give him the great credit for interrogating the traitor! When comparing Qingzhou's political achievements, we can also cover up Murong Yanda's repeated defeats in the Erlong Mountain campaign, and his face is tarnished
fact.
Since the old master thought so, all the officials in the court naturally wanted to give him face, so they issued an order and ordered the offenders Hu Yanzhuo, Hu Yanqing and their families to be taken to Qingzhou for trial. Of course, the clear meaning of the crime is that they cannot be related to Taizu. It was not related, after all, it was a fact that Taizu had killed Hu Yanshou Ting, and it was necessary to avoid taboos for the Venerable, so the little-known Hong Tianlei Lingzhen was brought out to serve as a spearman.
If it weren't for Hu Yanzhuo and the Hu Yanqing brothers colluding with the thieves, how could Ling Zhen be captured by the thieves? Of course, it would be perfect if the Ling family came out to accuse the Hu family generals. It's a pity that the Kaifeng governor sent people to look for the Ling family. When I was in the hospital, I saw that the door of the Ling family's house was locked. After asking the neighbors, I found out that a man named Chai and a man named Dai came to the Ling family a few days ago. It seemed that they were reporting some urgent news. When the Ling family heard this, they panicked. I packed my things in a panic and left the city. I didn't see anyone for two or three days.
The governor of Kaifeng knew about it, but he didn't take it seriously. A little humble servant's family had not many of them, but not many of them, so what did it matter?
As a result, Ling Zhen and his family were escorted to Liangshan by Chai Jin and Dai Zong without any danger. Ximen Qing met Chai Jin and Dai Zong and asked about things in Tokyo. Chai Jin shook his head and sighed: "There is no need for us to spread rumors. The ministers in the court are eager to get rid of the generals of the Hu family and then be quick."
Ximen Qing spread his hands and said with a smile: "The reverse elimination of quality in China has always been like this!"
While they were talking, Ling Zhen had already met his wife and children, and the family reunited after the disaster, which was full of surprises. Only then did Ximen Qing invite Ling Zhen: "Brother Ling, if you won't give up, please give Liang Shan a seat!" "
Ling Zhen had no sense of belonging to this decadent dynasty. After watching the drama "Down to the East of the River", he was even more moved. He sighed: "Today there is a lot of chaos in the dynasty, and there are many corrupt officials. Liangshan joins the gang, and the date is uncertain. Live a happier life! Come on! Ling is willing to surrender to Liangshan!"
Ximen Qing was so happy that he took Ling Zhen to a large secret warehouse. When he entered the warehouse and looked around, Ling Zhen's eyes lit up. It turned out that the warehouse was filled with saltpeter, sulfur, charcoal powder, and oil wax stored in sealed containers. Asphalt, dry paint, rosin, yellow lead, lead powder and other raw materials, if you have these materials at hand, how many sophisticated firearms can Ling Zhen make!
Seeing Ling Zhen's eyes shining, Ximen Qing said: "We have more than a dozen large warehouses in Liangshan that store firearms and supplies. In future wars, in addition to cavalry, infantry and sailors, firearms will also have a place. , whoever realizes this first will have the opportunity to win. How can a leader not notice it? It’s ridiculous that Zhao Song didn’t know people. When Brother Ling was in Tokyo, he was only controlled by a corpse-like vegetarian, even though he had all kinds of ambitions. , but there is no chance to show off. When I come to Liangshan today, if I don’t mind it, I will ask for the responsibility of developing artillery in Liangshan. The money and materials needed will mean moving mountains and reclaiming seas, and I won’t be stingy!”
When Ling Zhen listened to Ximen Qing's heroic words, he felt that his heart and eye sockets were all warm. Unknowingly, he fell to the ground and choked: "My parents are the ones who gave birth to me, and the ones who know me are Mr. Sanqi." ! A scholar dies for a confidant, and I am willing to do my best for brother Ximen Qing!"
Ximen Qing hurriedly helped him up and said with a smile: "Since we are brothers, we don't have to be so polite from now on. It's up to you to convince your subordinates! If there are those who don't want to stay in Liangshan, wait for those who are willing to stay. After picking up the family members, I paid them travel expenses and let them go."
Ling Zhen said in his heart: "Brother Ximen Qing is indeed as considerate as his hair, and has unparalleled benevolence and righteousness! I will have no regrets in my life if I meet such a wise master!" He agreed immediately and happily surrendered.
Ximen Qing looked at Ling Zhen's energetic back and cheered in his heart. Maybe today, after the Stone Age, Bronze Age, and Iron Age, the Firearm Age will officially begin in his own hands. This feeling is really
This is exciting! If the future era of paperware can also be born in your own hands, wouldn’t it be more perfect?
However, Ximen Qing immediately realized that he was too greedy.
As expected, Ling Zhen acted swiftly, and all his eight artillerymen and those who were proficient in firearms production were willing to surrender. Ximen Qing was busy arranging manpower to pick up their families, and Tan Ma hurriedly came to report: "Comment to Marshal!
Urgent report from Dongping Prefecture! For some unknown reason, two generals, Han Tao and Peng Qi, suddenly raised an army to rebel against Zhao and Song, killed the supervisors, and led their troops straight to Qingzhou!"
In fact, what Han Tao and Peng Qi wanted to do was endure the humiliation and bear the burden and raise the orphans of the Huyan family to become talents. Unexpectedly, the two supervisors were looking for death. They had already sent people to focus on Hu Yantong, who was going to deliver a message to the orphans of Huyan in Hedong.
The orphans of the Huyan family came and were killed. They were first escorted to Yunzhou and then to Qingzhou.
After hearing the news, Han Tao and Peng Qi sighed: "So many major events in the world have been ruined by these bastards who help the tyrants to do evil!" At this time, the two of them were also desperate, so they simply ordered their men and horses and went to the two prison camps.
Go and save people.
How did Yang disciples and Gao disciples expect that Han Tao and Peng Qi would rebel? Before they could react, Han Tao and Peng Qi had already marched in, with both swords drawn out, and chopped off the heads of the two scoundrels. They accompanied them to protect them.
The Imperial Guards general who was supervising the army was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, only trembling. Although there were elites among the 800,000 Imperial Guards in Tokyo, they were definitely not eaten by eunuch scoundrels like him.
people.
At this time, Hu Yan's soldiers had already disarmed the Forbidden Army and rescued Hu Yantong and the two young masters. Han Tao held the head in his hand, pointed the blood sword at the Forbidden Army general and said: "I was going to kill you, but it seems that I am
Hu Yan's army is short-lived! Let you go back
, talk about the cowardly king and the dog officer - the cowardly king is unrighteous! The dog officer is shameless! The government forces the people to rebel! The government forces the soldiers to rebel! Today is a time when relatives and enemies are happy and the hearts of the people are cold, but it is up to you, shameless and unjust people, to enjoy wealth and honor.
, Who does our family and the world depend on! Get lost!"
The general of the forbidden army was saved and fled away with his remaining soldiers. Han Tao and Peng Qi refused to do anything, so they ordered the entire army to break out of the camp and go to Qingzhou to rescue Hu Yanzhuo and Hu Yanqing.
Hu Yan's army suddenly mutinied. Although Dong Ping, the general of Dong Ping Mansion, was well prepared, he was caught off guard. Who would have expected that it was not Hu Yanzhuo and Hu Yanqing brothers who rebelled, but Han Tao and Peng Qi?
Dong Ping hurriedly came out of the battle and cursed in front of the battle: "Thieves who betray the country!" Han Tao was furious, and he rode his horse and came to fight Dong Ping. The two-gun general and Bai Sheng general exchanged horses for more than ten rounds. Han Tao was timid and turned his horse.
As soon as he left, Dong Ping wanted to show off his success and pursued him closely.
Seeing Han Tao passing through his own army formation, he heard the sound of drums in Huyan's army, and Peng Qi had already set off his horses in a chain, charging towards him one after another. At this time, although Dong Ping was brave, how could he stop him?
The men and horses of Dongping Mansion were overwhelmed and were defeated. If Han Tao and Peng Qi hadn't been eager to go to Qingzhou and stopped as soon as possible, Dongping's entire army would have been annihilated. This is exactly:
Although the young master can obtain the beacon, can the general untie the chain? But he doesn't know what will happen next. Let's hear the explanation next time.
