When they gathered in the Su Mansion, Zhao Zhen felt keenly that Su Jin seemed to have guessed his own thoughts. He felt a little guilty. For more than half a year, Su Jin had been conscientious in his position and never said much. Even if he secretly assigned his general
The officer's military power was completely deprived, and Su Jin didn't come to say anything to him. However, at the banquet that day, Su Jin covered his face with wine and openly laughed at his behavior, which showed that Su Jin no longer had the slightest respect for him. That was another matter.
A way to express dissatisfaction - public humiliation.
Zhao Zhen was restless, and the unpredictable people and things made him even more panicked. After thinking about it, he felt that he could not wait any longer. Su Jin was like a big mountain weighing on his heart. The sooner he moved away, the sooner he would be there.
After a day of feeling comfortable, Zhao Zhen secretly summoned Zhang Yaozuo and Han Jiang for several days, asking them to find the right moment and take action in advance to capture Su Jin in one fell swoop.
Zhang Yaozuo and Han Jiang mobilized their manpower and began to secretly keep an eye on Su Jin's whereabouts, looking for opportunities to strike. With Zhang Yaozuo's temper, he led his troops to directly surround the Su Mansion and captured Su Jin's entire family, but Zhao Zhen
Worrying that the excuse would cause an uproar, and also finding out that there were hundreds of guards near the Su Mansion, if there was a slight delay and he could not succeed, Su Jin would immediately make his promise on the sandbank public. Zhao Zhen did not want to ignore it until the last moment.
Everything is broken.
Zhao Zhen's wishful thinking is to find an opportunity for Su Jin to slip away, kill him secretly, and scatter the trees. Others on Su Jin's side will naturally weigh the development of the situation; he will then step forward to give Su Jin glory.
By burying Su Jin, he not only got rid of the serious trouble in his heart, but also won the hearts and minds of the people in the world, ensuring that the court would not be in chaos, and then slowly eliminated Su Jin's remnants.
Of course, if there is no such opportunity, then the manpower sent by Zhang Yaozuo and others to various places can be put to use. The second plan is to directly force it and attack many places at the same time, even if it causes any trouble, they will not care.[
…
From the conversation on the Mingzhou sandbank at the end of February to the present, Su Jin knew all Zhao Zhen's actions in the past nine months. Zhao Zhen promoted and secretly deprived his northwest army generals of their military power, and secretly attracted many high-ranking officials in the DPRK.
As well as sending imperial troops to various places to station on standby in the name of patrolling city defenses, Su Jin was very aware of this.
Su Jin pretended to be ignorant of all this, and even when someone reminded him of this, he scolded him mercilessly. Of course, Su Jin didn't have any illusions about Zhao Zhen, he just didn't want to make things worse.
The whole world was shaken. The Song Empire, which he had worked so hard for for fifteen years, had finally reached its current situation. It must not be ruined in his own hands.
A few months ago, Pan Jiang, Jingtai and others came to Beijing and made a vague promise to Su Jin. If Su Jin wanted to depose the emperor, whether it was to establish a new emperor or establish himself as an independent emperor, they would lead their troops to provide strong support; at that time, Pan Jiang and Jingtai
He has the jurisdiction of 300,000 troops under his command, and the Dynasty and Mahan also control more than 5,000 troops of the Imperial Guard, so they are fully capable of turning the tide.
The ministers who led the army in the court, such as Di Qing, Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi and others were all old friends of Su Jin. They might not help Su Jin do this, but they would never lead troops to attack Su Jin because of this. At most, they would just turn a blind eye.
Just close your eyes, because the conflict between Su Jin and Zhao Zhen is a secret to the outside world, but in the hearts of these people, they know very well that sooner or later it will explode one day.
But Su Jin couldn't do that. Although he was a person who traveled through time in later generations, Su Jin's thoughts about likes, dislikes and evil were still influenced by thousands of years of Confucianism. Once he took that step, he would become a rebellious minister and traitor in the eyes of the people.
People don't care what you are facing at that time, they will think it is an act of rebellion without any thought; although Su Jin doesn't care what the history books say, he doesn't want to be a rebellious minister and traitor in the eyes of the people. That is not the case at all.
own purpose.
Coming to this strange era was a fallacy in time and space, and he should not have appeared here at all. Later, in view of the suffering and ignorance of the people of the Song Dynasty, Su Jincai gradually started to improve the situation of the Song Dynasty from the smallest details, and slightly improved the situation of the Song Dynasty.
It's just to enlighten the people; it seems that the goal has been basically achieved. Su Jin will never let his efforts of more than ten years be destroyed in the flames of war; not only is it unpleasant to be called a rebellious minister, but also because he is afraid of the consequences it will cause.
An all-out civil war led to the collapse of the Song Dynasty, and the people were in dire straits, which violated their original intention.
There were more and more suspicious eyes around him. Su Jin knew that Zhao Zhen couldn't wait any longer. Zhao Zhen was looking for an opportunity to make a move. Su Jin decided to give him this opportunity. Giving him a chance was also the best chance for him to escape.
After the morning court meeting on November 18th, Su Jin went to see Zhao Zhen and asked for leave to return to Mingzhou. Because the end of November was Mrs. Wang’s sixtieth birthday, Mrs. Wang stayed in Mingzhou where the temperature was mild to avoid the cold. Su Jin had no choice but to go to celebrate her birthday.
When going to Mingzhou, Su Jin also told Zhao Zhen clearly that Su Ji's annual meeting would also be held at the same time. At the annual meeting, Su Jin would announce the transfer of all Su Ji's properties to the imperial court.
Zhao Zhen was overjoyed. This was an excellent opportunity to catch everyone. Not only the Su family, big and small, would go to celebrate his birthday, but officials from the DPRK and China who had good relations with Su Jin would also rush to flatter him. In addition, Mingzhou is a small coastal town.
Thousands of miles away from the capital, even if something big happens, the news can be blocked. This is the most beneficial and stable way. Holding back the excitement in his heart, Zhao Zhen first comforted Su Jin with a few words of warmth, and ordered Zhang
The imperial concubine gave her beautiful jade and jewelry, and decreed that Mrs. Wang be canonized with the honor of being a first-grade imperial concubine. She promised Su Jin to return to Mingzhou to celebrate her mother's birthday.
After Su Jin left, Zhao Zhen immediately summoned Zhang Yaozuo and Han Jiang and ordered them to lead troops to Mingzhou immediately before Su Jin to arrange the arrangements. The day of the birthday banquet was the best time to take action; Zhang Yaozuo and Han Jiang were very excited.
, catching them all in one go will save a lot of effort, and it is such an exciting thing to do it on the birthday of Su Jin's mother. You can imagine that when the Su family congratulated their mother on her birthday with great joy, she brought a large number of imperial guards with her.
When I entered the mansion and ordered to kill, what kind of scene it was like makes people tremble with excitement just thinking about it.
In order to ensure that nothing happened, Zhao Zhen wrote a secret order and ordered Han Jiang to go south to Hangzhou overnight to take over the command of the troops deployed by the troops and horses on the two Zhejiang Roads and control the situation on the two Zhejiang Roads to prevent locals who did not understand what was going on.
Civil and military officials were confused and ran out to disrupt the situation.
Everyone in the Su family began to pack their bags and head south. The shopkeepers of Su Ji's stores in the capital and the elite clerks in the stores were secretly asked to bring all their family members and valuables with them. A team of more than 600 people left the capital in a mighty manner and embarked on the journey south.
On the national highway, the four hundred guards who accompanied him carried the firecrackers on their backs without hesitation. Su Jin wanted to tell Zhao Zhen that what he said about the firecrackers and spears was not an exaggeration.
Zhao Zhen had no intention of taking action halfway, because that was already the last resort. He only ordered people to follow the Su family's large group from a distance to ensure that they would not deceive him and not go to Mingzhou, but to flee all the way south to Dali.
Just go to your country or other neighboring countries.
At the same time, elite personnel from various stores, mines, banks and other industries in Su Jiquan and Song Dynasty also rushed to Mingzhou from all directions with their families. They only knew that they were going to attend the Su Ji annual meeting, but they did not know why everyone was there.
The boss asked that the family members should be brought along and the belongings taken care of; but Su Ji’s tradition is to carry out the task resolutely, even if he doesn’t understand it, he still does it.
On November 26, Su Jin arrived in Mingzhou, and Yan Biyun came to greet him outside the city in person. After the couple got into the luxury carriage, the following conversation took place:
"Madam, is the ship ready?"
"Twenty large ships have been completed, but the workshop was too slow. The slave family spent double the price to hire craftsmen from shipbuilding workshops in Guangzhou, Quanzhou and other places to come and help. According to my husband's request, they were all iron-clad flat-top ships.
"
"Okay, can the goods from the northwest be delivered?" [
"Fifty thousand barrels of kerosene and ten thousand barrels of gunpowder have been delivered to the ship. The list of personnel and items you listed have been purchased and piled on the dock. Zhao Hu leads five hundred people to guard them day and night."
"Thank you for your hard work, madam. It will all be loaded on the ship from now on. It must be loaded in three days. In addition, the distribution of food, water and vegetables requires madam to worry about it. These things cannot be handled by others. Thank you for your hard work this year, madam."
"What did you say, husband? You and I are of the same mind and we are meant to live and die together for the rest of our lives. Even if you don't say where you want to live, I completely believe in your arrangement."
Su Jin held Yan Biyun in his arms and kissed him gently: "The place we are going to is a wild land. Although I have never been there, I know he is there. The land there is as vast as the Song Dynasty.
I still have many unfinished dreams in the Song Dynasty, and I will work hard to realize them one by one. The Song Dynasty is my homeland, and I do not want to let this land fall into bloodshed because of personal life and death, so we must go
,do you understand?"
Yan Biyun kissed Su Jin passionately with her lips, and said softly: "I understand, everyone understands, my uncle said that one pond cannot accommodate two dragons, and your husband is a dragon among men. He cannot live under others for a long time, nor can he be in the same room."
If we are disabled, we can only open up new horizons."
Su Jin smiled and said, "Master Yan, what he said finally hit the point."
