crossing with green hills

"I will pay my respects to the Empress Dowager!"

Figures dressed in various official uniforms filed out from behind the Yang family's army. Obviously, there were soldiers guarding them before, and they were hidden in a safe place, so they were unscathed.

As for staying out of the matter, hiding in one place, and waiting for the dust to settle...

This is the literati's way of self-preservation.

It's a pity that even if they wanted to do this, Yang Kang wouldn't allow it, and that person wouldn't allow it either.

He could only follow the army all the way forward, and in the fierce fighting around him, he showed all the attitudes of a weak scholar.

At this moment, the Empress Dowager appeared, and the matter was finally coming to an end. They had no intention of continuing to hide, and went forward to pay homage under the leadership of several prime ministers.

However, Empress Dowager Yang had a cold face, and she didn't have the slightest affection for this group of civil and military officials, especially the eyes she stared at the leading ministers, with deep meaning.

Seeing them dripping with cold sweat, he looked away, glanced at the commander of the Imperial Army, and said softly, "Get up!"

"I dare not! I am ashamed. I failed to guard the Great Song Palace and eradicate the rebellion, so that I let this group of traitors commit crimes. I am guilty!"

"General, please stand up! Your loyalty, the Ai family has seen, you are not at fault, and you have meritorious service. On behalf of the ancestors of the Zhao family in the Song Dynasty, the Ai family thank you general for your kindness."

"I am frightened!"

"Get up, general!"

After seeing the commander of the imperial army standing up neatly this time, the Empress Dowager Yang nodded in satisfaction, and then she turned her eyes on Yang Kang, as if she had seen through Yang Kang's tricks, but she had no intention of poking through them. After a moment of silence, she did not Said unhurriedly:

"General Yang, no, after today, you won't be a general anymore. Tomorrow, you may be able to appreciate the scenery above tens of thousands of people."

"The queen mother is serious! This country has never been privately owned by one surname. From ancient times to the present, dynasties have changed. Those who seek blessings for the people will naturally prosper and prosper for a long time. Those who abandon the people are naturally unworthy of virtue. This world It is the world of the common people, and it is the world of the people of the world.”

Regarding the sarcasm in Empress Dowager Yang's words, Yang Kang retorted unceremoniously, with sonorous words, "Nowadays, your Zhao family is blindly seeking pleasure, disregarding the life and death of the people, exploiting interests, rampant corrupt officials, and making people complain a lot. At that time, the abdication of the Zhao family was a foregone conclusion."

"The emperor who was bombarded by the thunder was the Lord of Heaven who warned the world. If the Zhao family continues to control the world, the catastrophe that will follow may affect the whole world."

Yang Kang's loud voice was clearly heard by everyone in the field.

This half-truth and half-false story has been widely circulated, and now it is said that it is no longer novel, but the ancients were ignorant, they never cared about the truth, and they believed anything, as long as what you said was true enough.

Based on the fact that the emperor was hacked to death, with the help of Tiangong's name and fear of the unknown future, it is enough to convince everyone.

Occupying a righteous name and a famous teacher made this crusade even more justifiable.

"It's exactly what you said!"

There was no thunderous rage, nor harsh words, Empress Dowager Yang nodded in agreement, as if she agreed with Yang Kang's words very much.

This response made Yang Kang unexpected, and he was stunned for a while.

The commander of the forbidden army, who was so aggressive and wished to die with Yang Kang in the next moment, was also taken aback for a moment.

A big capitalized word ignorant hangs brightly on his face.

Chapter 51 are all masters of acting

The elders of the Zhao clan who were following Queen Mother Yang were also taken aback, their expression was dull, and they couldn't figure out the way of Queen Mother Yang for a moment.

Queen Mother, did you rebel so soon?Say yes, leave the last touch of courage and strength for the Great Song Dynasty, and die generously?

The agreement that was still in the ear one moment, the next moment it was like garbage and was thrown away.

Despite the clamor and suspicion in their hearts, the long-term habit and life experience made the few remaining old people wisely keep silent.

They believed that the Empress Dowager had a deep meaning in this move and would give them a satisfactory answer.

Sure enough, as expected, Empress Dowager Yang's words were hidden behind her.

I saw that he was very satisfied with Yang Kang's astonished expression, and without waiting for his reaction, he continued: "You are right, the emperor was indeed struck to death by lightning, under the eyes of everyone, it is difficult to refute, this Song Dynasty has indeed come to an end , offspring are unworthy."

Just when everyone was getting more and more confused, Empress Dowager Yang suddenly changed her subject, "But the descendants of the old Zhao family, although they are mediocre, cowardly, and greedy for pleasure, are by no means abandoning the people, so they have long been aware of themselves.

At the beginning, he fully supported the Northern Expedition, and then he fully assisted in the war with the grassland nation. After two generations of emperors, the purpose was to eliminate foreign aggression. Later, he left an imperial decree to choose someone who would really do things for them for the people of the world. Mingjun.

I would like to exchange the supreme power of the old Zhao family in exchange for the peace and prosperity of the people, so as to relieve internal worries and enrich the people. "

"So!" Empress Dowager Yang paused, looked at the audience, and spoke passionately, "It's not you, Yang Kang, pleading for the people to overthrow the old dynasty, but my Zhao family, willing to give up this great country for the people.

Otherwise, how could you go all the way back to Lin'an smoothly, break into the palace like a bamboo shoot, and be like the other generals of the Great Song Dynasty, who are all soft persimmons? "

The elders of the sect burst into tears, the officials were ashamed and the commander of the imperial army couldn't believe it. Yang Kang and the soldiers in the field were shocked by this, and they were speechless for a while.

Li Tiansheng, who was hiding at the side, was amazed. He sincerely admired Queen Mother Yang's words.

He not only admitted the fact that the emperor was struck to death by lightning, but also revealed the fact that the Zhao family was aware of the change of ownership of the country, and then pointed out that the emperor of the Zhao family had been prepared to hand over the Zhao family's country to the Mingjun who worked for the people.

This is just a symbolic resistance.

As soon as this word came out, with so many people present, it would definitely spread. At that time, it would be the Zhao family who would occupy the righteousness. In the face of the foregone facts, they would leave a good reputation and win a wave of praise and sympathy.

People don't care about who is right and who is wrong.They only listen to what is good for them, and they only sympathize with the weak.

At that time, compared with Yang Kang, who has successfully ascended to the throne and wielded power, the Zhao family, whose strength is reversed and who is at a disadvantage, will attract more attention.

At least on the bright side, the safety of the children of the Zhao clan has an additional layer of protection.As the new king, Yang Kang had to give up and even protect the children of the Zhao clan for the sake of the world.

The last thing is to turn one eye and close one eye, and let Zhao's children live and die at will without interference.

Empress Dowager Yang's counterattack contained a layer of eliciting the imperial decree. Others may not understand it, but Yang Kang and Li Tiansheng know it well.

Yang Kang was forced to accept it "willingly" with tears in his heart and a smile on his face.

After all, accepting the abdication of the previous royal family is a good talk, it is orthodox, and no one will ridicule it anymore. Yang Kang came from a wrong path.

And if Yang Kang doesn't accept it, in this scene, no matter how much he has done before, he will be criticized by the world after all.

Therefore, he needs Empress Dowager Yang's "endorsement". At least after this scene, on the surface, no one dares to speak out in the open, and Yang Kang's position is not right.

As for the civil and military officials, some of them who were kept in the dark naturally did not dare to speak any more. Others, although they had guessed, were wise enough to protect themselves. Even if they had to contribute, they would not offend one of them.

Playing stupid and drinking is the wise way to survive.

And some generals who hold the military power stay in their own mansions one by one, do not mix, naturally they will not refute, and when the dust settles, they will naturally not talk too much.

at the moment, in the field

Seeing that everyone couldn't refute, especially Yang Kang's appearance of listening to the teachings, Empress Dowager Yang had to admit in her heart that this kid in front of her was indeed more knowledgeable about current affairs, advances and retreats, and the situation than Zhao's children.

For a while, I was a little bit depressed, and I just wanted to finish this matter quickly.
