Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 248 Above the court
There is a saying that "the wrath of the emperor lays down millions of corpses and bleeds for thousands of miles". The little deputy envoy of Jiazhanku was hated by Zhao Ji, and the result was miserable.

The words of confiscating the family and exterminating the family came from the mouth of the emperor of the old Zhao family, so it might not be possible to change it.As a prosperous age of literature and prosperity, in the country of the old Zhao family, literati and bureaucrats have played a big role.And the family copying and extermination of the family is too harsh for the literati.

But the compassion of these literati and bureaucrats would never show mercy to Ling Zhen, the deputy envoy of Jiazhanku who was born in a military man.Zhao Jiwu looks fatuous and incompetent, but he has a strong control over the power of the court, the reason has been explained above.

All the civil and military ministers in the hall closed their mouths in tacit understanding when they saw the Daojun Emperor in a rage.People are not sages, who can be without anger?When you have anger, you can vent your anger on others, and you can vent your anger on yourself, so why not ask the emperor to vent his anger on others?
No one would argue with the emperor because of such a small person as Ling Zhen.

All the civil and military men then held their breaths, watching their noses and minds, quietly waiting for the emperor to vent his anger, quietly waiting for the emperor's final sentence on He Guan, and quietly waiting for the next person to conquer the bandits in Liangshanpo out of the oven.Many people looked at Gao Qiu with mocking eyes, no one believed that Gao Qiu could completely block the emperor's hearing, and then completely suppressed the news of Lu Qian and Lin Chong.

Sure enough, Emperor Daojun really didn't let go of his anger, and he turned his finger on the prefect of Puzhou.The Battle of Fan County was within the Puzhou Prefecture, but from the beginning to the end, the magistrate did not show up.However, the city of Puzhou was previously destroyed by Liang Shanbo, and the magistrates and other officials were killed one after another. The new magistrate born here in the old Zhao family has been visiting relatives and friends in Tokyo, visiting "teachers and classmates", and has been in a state of relationship from beginning to end.

He knew very well the virtues of the old Zhao family's imperial army, and he didn't know how many troubles would arise if they fought all the way to Puzhou.Why did he go to his post early and ask for trouble?

How did he know that he rushed to Puzhou to take up the post at the end of the term of office, and He Guan was defeated twice in Fan County before his butt was hot.

Zhao Ji didn't care about this. He only saw that the Puzhou prefect didn't even show his head on the battlefield.How can he not be angry if he is lazy and incompetent? "Why should such cowardless people become officials?" He was about to take off his official title as a prefect in a blink of an eye.

All the courtiers below fell silent. The matter had nothing to do with them and they continued to hang up.Only Cai You's heart skipped a few beats, and he stepped out of the train: "Your Majesty, the governor of Puzhou, Ding Min, has just been in office for a few days, and he doesn't understand the geography and the people's sentiments..."

"Your Majesty, I think what Cai Xueshi said is absurd. As far as I know, Ding Min, the magistrate of Puzhou, stayed in Beijing for more than a month, and went to Puzhou a few days ago. This person can't hear, and can't see." Otherwise, you will definitely not be ignorant of the Battle of Fanxian County. But blindly deducing excuses in Beijing, not worrying about what the court is anxious about, not wanting what the court thinks, his crime is unforgivable, and his heart can be punished." Zhang Kegong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, stood up and spoke.

He is Zhang Shuye's younger brother. The impeachment of Cai Jing had caused Zhang Shuye to be demoted to Xi'an Grassland Superintendent, and he was able to recover a few years later.However, the Zhang family also forged a big feud with Cai Jing. Zhang Shuye was not allowed to be a good official in the capital, and was transferred to Jeju to serve as the magistrate, which was Cai Jing's handwriting.So much so that Zhang Shuye and his son were killed by Liang Shanbo, Cai Jing also blocked the court's posthumous gift on the grounds that "the dead body is not seen".Zhang Kegong is Zhao Ji's pawn left in the court to check and balance Cai Jing's party, but Enmeng can't take care of his brother Cong.Zhang Kegong had no choice but to keep everything in his heart.

Now, of course, he will not let Cai You hit hard.

Cai You was speechless on the spot, and then saw his father standing above winking at him, and sank immediately.

As soon as Zhao Ji was happy, he couldn't help but want to give Zhang Kegong a little favor.And he has a good impression of Zhang Shuye, thinking that Zhang Shuye is a capable minister. "Is there any definite news from Zhang Shuye, the former prefect of Jeju?"

Shangshu Zuo Cheng Hou Meng stood out and said: "Qizou Your Majesty, since Zhang Shuye and his eldest son Chengfeng Lang Bofen fell into the enemy's hands, he has never heard of any news. His second son Chengwu Lang Zhongxiong was in the battle of Fan County Fighting hard, but also falling into the enemy's hands, life and death are unknown."

After hearing this, Zhao Ji looked at Zhang Kegong, "Ji Zhong has the city in his heart, he is honest and self-disciplined, he has great talent, he regrets that the sky does not have a holiday, and he was lost at the hands of bandits."

"It is my oral decree that the tomb of Zhang Qing and his son's robes will be erected on the west side of Lingjiu Temple in Guangfeng County." The next step is to bestow official titles and posthumous titles, which cannot be decided in a short time.Zhang Kegong's face was full of excitement after bathing in the grace, but his heart was full of sorrow and joy.The sad thing is that after this kindness, Zhang Shuye died as well. Even if the Zhang family added more glory, it actually lacked a humerus; but the joy is the emperor's kindness.

The treacherous and cunning Cai Jing saw this and stopped his son from admonishing him.It's enough to call Zhang's family to get some benefits.The emperor needs an example to warn the world, but also needs an example to inspire the world.This Shu Ye is a tablet brought by the emperor.

Cai Jing would not challenge the emperor on this matter.As long as Zhang Shuye can't return to court, he doesn't need to care.Even Cai You also understood at this time.In the bottom of his heart, he gave his father a thumbs up, and then he looked at Hou Meng with a wink and felt interesting.

Hou Meng is not a member of his Cai family. Long before his father became famous, he was promoted to supervise the censor and serve in the palace.Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty Chongning wrote a brief discussion on ten matters. Cai Jing had been in the position for many years, but he could not stop him from moving to serve as the censor and changed to the minister of household affairs.In the fourth year of Daguan, in addition to Tongzhi Privy Council affairs, he became Minister Zuocheng.There are now rumors that Hou Meng will take a step forward and take the position of Minister of Public Affairs.This is the deputy prime minister of the current dynasty.After the restructuring of Yuanfeng, the imperial court appointed Shangshu Youpushe and Zhongshu Shilang, who performed the duties of Zhongshu Ling, and Shangshu Zuopushe and his disciples as ministers as prime ministers.He also appointed Zhongshu and his subordinate minister as deputy prime ministers.

Obviously this bird boy is not from the Cai family, but he has been promoted step by step during the years when Cai Jing was in power.Cai You suddenly changed his impression of the current emperor.

"Where is the pot?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I am under the supervision of Dali Temple." Dali Temple Minister walked out of the train and replied.

"He Guan, the capital of the infantry commander of the guards and infantry, vainly cares about the grace of the saints. He is deceitful and incompetent in all things. The heavenly soldiers of the church and court were defeated by a bunch of grass bandits. They lost the dignity of the court and deserved to die. I read that he has been conscientious and hardworking for many years, so he is exempted from the death penalty. He was demoted to Yongzhou, served as a regiment training envoy, and was resettled in this state, and he was not allowed to leave without authorization."

Regardless of whether the defeat of Fan County was as it was said, it was all because of Ling Zhen.As the chief general of an army, the whole army was defeated and died, and he was also to blame for the responsibility.

Just like Hu Yanzhuo, the old Zhao family is not in a rough time now and does not realize the value of generals.It is not surprising that Zhao Ji kicked He Guan to Yongzhou on Jinghu South Road.

This decision was not Zhao Ji's momentary anger, but several matches before going to court.After all, He Guan was promoted by various factions at the beginning, and it is not for nothing that He Guan has done bad things now.The important officials of the court and the great eunuchs of the inner court all participated in it, and Zhao Ji himself did not intend to take his life, so it was only logical that he was kicked to Yongzhou, a place full of snakes and insects and poisonous miasma.

As for the position of regimental training envoy, it is nothing compared to He Guan's previous position of Yuhou, the capital of the Infantry Army.It can also be seen that Zhao Ji was angry with him.But there is no need to be afraid. The official system of Zhao and Song Dynasties is like this. When high-ranking officials go down to the local area, they seem to be demoted and punished, but as long as there are still people in the court, they will be pulled back again in the blink of an eye.

Like Su Shi, he was either demoted, or he was a bad star on the road to demote. Looking at the entire 50 and [-]-year history of Zhao and Song Dynasties, it is difficult to find the second one.

Taking He Guan's punishment as a node, the early stage of today's court meeting will be over.This is the focus of today.

Who is the commander-in-chief of the army who conquered Liangshanbo three times? This is a position that attracts everyone's envy.He Guan's 5 army was defeated, and if another army was raised, the number would naturally exceed [-].

One hundred thousand steps is the number of officers and troops who conquered Liangshanbo for the third time.This is a huge amount.In the eyes of many courtiers, this is also a position of merit.

Of course, He Guan's defeat was known to everyone, and the conquest of Liangshanbo must not be underestimated.

Lovely feelings sometimes deceive themselves.Liang Shanbo is not Xixia, let alone Khitan in the north. The innate background of Lu Qian and others made the civil and military officials in the court underestimate three points.There was even more than one person among them, who sent people to contact the generals who followed He Guan and retreated to Puzhou, and obtained a lot of information from them.

But people's feelings are really terrible in many cases.

Liangshan's elite army, many people got the news, but no one really took it seriously.Because in the eyes of many court officials, bandits, no matter how elite they are, cannot compare with Xixia and Khitan.Many people are more willing to classify the defeat of He Guanjun as a new type of stone cannon that appeared on the battlefield in Fan County; attribute the first defeat of the official army in Fan County to the fact that the bandits and bandits in Liangshanpo frequently fought against each other. Officer morale.

At that moment, someone came out to play and said: "Your Majesty, Liangshan bandits gathered treacherous and recalcitrant people in a depression, ran rampant in Heshuo and Jingdong, and there were few officers and soldiers everywhere who could resist. Their thieves were arrogant and extremely sinful. My Great Song Dynasty is rich in the world, with millions of soldiers, so it’s no big deal to suffer a few small defeats? Liangshanbo has repeatedly committed great evils, looting cities, looting warehouses, gathering murderous gangs, occupying the capital and near the ground, and resisting the heavenly soldiers. It’s a serious problem, if you don’t kill and eliminate it early, you will become a bandit in the future, and the harm to the country will be worse than the enemy’s country in the north. The humble minister is terrified. I beg my emperor to judge.”

Zhao Ji stroked his mustache with his hands, and said in thought: "The imperial court's plan is the most important. Here in Hedong and Hebei, it's time to use troops, but they can't be lightly adjusted. The location of Liangshanpo is special, and the thieves are powerful, so it's really not safe and convenient."

Wang Fu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty's words are very true. It's just that the bandits in Liangshan have become very aggressive recently. The princes of the court have also dispatched troops and generals in Kinki many times, but they will not be able to recover. If you call the bandit from Shandong It is not safe to look at the imperial court and take a peek at Jifu."

"Your Majesty, the veteran thinks that although the bandits in Liangshan are very powerful, they dare not do anything. I still have a large army of more than [-] troops in the capital, and the forbidden troops of the states in the Central Plains are also there. With one piece of imperial edict, [-] soldiers can be transferred. Cunning, if you are not very prepared, you dare not do such a terrible thing, in order to arouse the wrath of the world. What you are afraid of, the land thieves will flee south to Xu and Hai, and do the actions of the rogues, just like the yellow nest, and it will be difficult to destroy." Cai Jing spoke like this, but the meaning in the words was to wipe out the Liangshan Po bandits as soon as possible.

Then another person said: "The court has received many letters from various states and counties in the east of Jingdong, all of which are bandits led by Lu Qian and other ministries. Greed and hatred are inexhaustible. Wherever the bandit army goes, no one can control it, no one can stop it. If it is not suppressed and arrested early, it will become a serious disaster in the future. I beg your majesty for the holy lesson."

In this way, five or six people directly stood up. Although the official positions are not very high, they are just "pioneers", but they belong to different groups.Gao Qiu lowered his head, his narrowed eyes showed a stern look.Don't think he doesn't know, he knows the root of these people.

There are inner courts and outer courts, civil servants and military officials. This is malicious.His sophomore year in high school understood what the officials wanted to do. He wanted to set up another mountain in the army, stretching out his hands like an octopus, which offended many people.

When the country is in trouble, think of good generals.Zhao Ji couldn't help looking at his right hand, but unfortunately, that Tong Guan had gone to the northwest and was not with him.

Gao Qiu has been paying attention to the change of Zhao Ji's face, and seeing the right time, he raised his foot and went out of the class to play: "Your Majesty, I am not talented. I would like to lead my troops to flatten Liangshanpo, capture Lu Qian alive, and offer it to Your Majesty. Share your majesty's worries and clean up the world. A disaster!"
