Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Even if things are calmed down, I am afraid that the relationship between the imperial court and the frontier will enter a delicate state.

Whether it is true or not, this news has greatly stimulated the entire court.

Induced him, the emperor, to have doubts about the major frontier commanders.

Perhaps, this is the real purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes.

Hu Quan dealt with it very thoughtfully, and didn't make this matter public, but there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and I'm afraid it will spread soon.

Zhao Ning immediately searched for Yang Yizhong to enter the palace.

"Officials."

"I want to ask you something."

"Officials, please clarify."

"The military supervisor of the Shaanxi army, did he say in last year's report that everything is business as usual and the army is strictly disciplined?"

"Yes." Yang Yi was puzzled in his heart, why did Zhao Guan's family suddenly ask about this matter?

In the past, after reading the reports of the military governor's mansion to the border troops, I would not mention it any more. Like now, it has been more than a month, and it is the first time to ask about the situation again.

"Zhang Jun, Mr. Zhang, what do you think?"

"Zhang Xianggong is upright and dedicated to his duties, which is obvious to all."

"But now some people say that he has treasonous intentions."

Yang Yizhong was taken aback, and immediately said: "The officials are well aware, but Zhang Xianggong is absolutely impossible to rebel. I have been sending people to strictly investigate the formation of cliques in the military and government in the Northwest. I have never heard that Zhang Jun has the heart of disobedience."

"You believe him?"

"The annual and quarterly reports of the Northwest Army Superintendent prove this, and it's not that I trust him."

"You don't need to spread this matter to the outside world. You travel day and night, go to Xingzhou personally, and get Zhang Jun back to Bianjing as quickly as possible. Just say that Zhang Shuye has resigned, and now the imperial court needs him to preside over the military administration."

"Yes!"

Yang Yizhong is known for being ruthless and selfless. He has no conflicts with Zhang Jun. It is most appropriate to send him there, and he is the military governor.

The most important thing right now is not to garrison and interrogate or investigate, but to quickly call Zhang Jun back to Beijing.

As long as Zhang Jun is willing to come back, there will be no rebellion, it goes without saying.

After Yang Yizhong cleaned up, he left Beijing that day and rushed all the way to Xingzhou.

But as expected by Zhao Ning, how can there be an impenetrable wall in this world?

When Hu Quan inspected Chungeng that day, there were many officials present.

Although Zhang Chong had deliberately controlled the woman named Lu Wanqing, some officials definitely questioned her in private.

Sure enough, on the fifth day of March, news began to spread in the official circles of Bianjing City.

This immediately caused a great shock.

Although there is no empirical evidence, it is extremely sensitive after all, and many people couldn't sit still on the spot.

Even Wang Zonglin, who was checking various bad debts at the bank at the time, jumped up in fright when he heard about it.

On that day, the Political Affairs Hall, the Privy Council, and the Military and Political Council were all whispering and discussing. There was a sudden cloud of war in the northwest, and the Great Song Dynasty was going to stage the "Anshi Rebellion".

It is said that in the early days of the Anshi Rebellion, countless people said that Anlu Mountain was rebellious. Tang Xuanzong laughed when he heard it, and did not believe it.

It wasn't until the seventh day that Tang Xuanzong suddenly realized, but he was still calm and composed. After all, Datang was at its peak at that time, and no one would believe that the people in the Northeast and Hebei would follow Anlu Mountain to rebel.

Yang Guozhong even said that in a few days, An Lushan's subordinates would offer Anlushan's head.

But then, everything got completely out of control.

At that time, Datang, one of the three most powerful empires in the world, surrendered at home and abroad, but was really blown down by the wind blown by Anlu Mountain.

With such a history in the previous dynasty, it would not be an exaggeration for the officials and scholar-bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty to swarm to the Zhao official family and shout "Zhang Jun is rebellious".

In the afternoon, some ministers really entered the palace one after another, running to ask His Majesty to see the emperor.

On the contrary, Zhao Guan's family is not in the Wende Hall, but in the Gewu Academy to solve geometry problems with a group of old scholars.

Chapter 1143 Zhang Jun's Promotion (Second Change)

At this time, everyone inevitably became nervous.

After so many days of arguing for Zhang Jun to come back, the news of Zhang Jun's rebellion suddenly came, which was equivalent to setting the powder keg on fire.

All the ministers went to Da Nei to meet Zhao Guan's house, and some people cried loudly on the way to Wende Hall.

It looked like he was going to die or live.

The ministers naturally rushed to nothing.

Zhao Guanjia is doing geometry problems in Gewuyuan.

In the next few days, Zhao Ning began to disappear.

In short, there was no one in the Wende Hall, and the imperial guards outside the Funing Palace guarded it, so no one could enter.

For a while, the news became more and more exaggerated.

I don't know where the news came from, saying that Zhang Jun's rebels had already reached the city of Chang'an, with a total of 30 troops.

Once this pass is controlled by the rebels, they can go all the way east from Tongguan to attack Xijing Luoyang, and Luojing is not far from Bianjing.

Countless people can't sleep now.

There is a feeling that the sky seems to be falling.

Until March [-]th, Yang Yizhong led people all the way through the night and finally arrived in Xingzhou.

At this time, Xingzhou was in harmony, and the army and the people were united, which was in stark contrast to the panic in Bianjing.

Even when Yang Yizhong saw Zhang Jun, Zhang Jun and his men were farming with hoes outside Xingzhou City.

The land in Xingzhou is extremely fertile. Although the Dangxiang people used to do farming, it is far behind the Song Dynasty's agriculture.

Coupled with the fact that the population of Xingqing Mansion is now declining, and there are so many troops to support, Zhang Jun naturally wants to mobilize the soldiers and civilians to work together, first to plant the fields.

Yang Yizhong met Lu Zhi first.

"Supervisor Yang Jun, why are you here?" Lu Zhi was taken aback.

Yang Yizhong's Military Governor's Mansion is dedicated to monitoring the army. When people in the army suddenly see Yang Yizhong himself, it is really like a mouse seeing a cat.

The military governor should be in the capital, and this suddenly appeared, so something big must have happened.

"Where is Zhang Xianggong?"

"Zhang... Mr. Zhang is in the east of the city."

"What are you doing in the east of the city?"

"I'm farming. Now I'm plowing in the spring. I'm busy farming. I've recently caught a cold, so I'm resting."

When Yang Yizhong heard that Zhang Jun was farming, he couldn't laugh or cry.

The rumor of Zhang Jun's rebellion must have caused an uproar in the capital, but the rebel himself was farming outside Xingzhou City.

"Please, Jundu Yang, I'll send someone to find Mr. Zhang."

"No, I'll go find Zhang Xianggong myself."

Lu Zhi immediately said: "Then I will take you there."

Lu Zhi obviously realized that there might be something very serious, otherwise Yang Yizhong would not have come in person, and would have gone to find someone immediately.

Lu Zhi took Yang Yizhong to the outside of the East City. At this time, outside the East City, beside the Yellow River, there was an acre of paddy fields, and all the soldiers and civilians who came and went were enthusiastic.

Even the party members who surrendered are actively farming.

Yang Yizhong pointed to those people with weird hairstyles and asked, "Are those people party members?"

Lu Zhi replied: "Yes, they are party members."

"They also want to farm?"

"They just wanted to eat, and the nobles were all brought to Bianjing."

Yang Yi was a little surprised in the center, he thought that the current Xingzhou should be a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

Unexpectedly, there were joyful smiles everywhere.

Soon, they saw Zhang Jun in one acre of fertile land.

Zhang Jun rolled up his sleeves and was planting seeds.

"Zhang Xianggong." Lu Zhi called out, and Zhang Juncai turned around.

But he was still hunched over and wearing a hat.

"Master Zhang, Jundu Yang is here."

Yang Yizhong walked over and saw Zhang Jun. He looked carefully at the person in front of him, and he was sure that it was Zhang Jun.

"Brother Yang, why are you here?" Zhang Jun was a little surprised.

"Zhang Xianggong, take a step to speak."

Zhang Jun put down the farm tools in his hand and walked aside.

Yang Yizhong said straight to the point: "Mr. Zhang, some people say you are a rebel."

Zhang Jun didn't react for a while, and asked, "What?"

"Some say you're rebellious."

Zhang Jun was stunned for a long time before he said, "So you came to arrest me?"

"No, I'm here to invite you back to the capital."

"Go back to the capital for punishment?"

"Back to the capital to appoint military and political envoys, this is His Majesty's order."

Zhang Jun saluted immediately, took it respectfully, and read it quickly and seriously.

After reading it, Zhang Jun was even more confused.

"Some people said that I rebelled, but His Majesty asked me to return to the capital to serve as a military and political envoy. This is His Majesty's trust in me, but such a big thing can't be groundless, right?"

"Then go ask Liu Ziyu, who joined the army."

Zhang Jun immediately led his men back to the city, and ordered Liu Ziyu to be found.

"What? My concubine went to Chang'an to sue Zhang Xianggong for treason?" Liu Ziyu's jaw almost dropped after hearing Yang Yizhong's description.

"Your concubine ran away, didn't you know?" Yang Yizhong looked at Liu Ziyu speechlessly.

Zhang Jun and Lu Zhi also looked at Liu Ziyu, as if they were saying: Yes!Your concubine ran away, didn't you know?

"She told me that her father passed away and she went back to observe the funeral." Liu Ziyu was even more incredulous, "How did I know such absurd thing would happen!"

Lu Zhi said: "This incident first spread to Chang'an, and now I am afraid that it has already spread to the whole city of Bianjing!"

"I'll go back to Chang'an right now, and ask that little bitch, who made her gossip like this, dare to talk nonsense about such a big matter, see if I don't kill her!"

"Are you going back to Chang'an now?" Lu Zhi said with a wry smile, "I'm afraid you were arrested as soon as you arrived at Jingzhao Mansion. No one would dare to believe such an important matter without explaining it clearly!"

"Didn't Governor Yang trust us so much that he even came to Xingzhou himself!" Liu Ziyu said.

"I came here on orders, and it is His Majesty who believes in you!"

"But Yang Jundu, you can use the appointment as an excuse to transfer Zhang Xianggong first. Why did you tell us the truth as soon as you came? You really are not afraid of big troubles!" Liu Ziyu is also big-hearted, and he is still teasing at this time.

But having said that, it is really because there is no rebellion that I can justifiably ridicule.

Yang Yizhong said: "If you really rebel, I'm afraid my appointment letter is useless. If you don't rebel, telling you the truth is better than the rumors from Jingzhao Mansion after I took away Mr. Zhang to misunderstand you. better?"

"Jundu Yang is fair, I have seen it today." Liu Ziyu said in admiration.

"This is His Majesty's arrangement."

"It seems that His Majesty absolutely believes in us." Zhang Jun was moved.

Without saying much, Zhang Jun packed his luggage and followed Yang Yizhong all the way back to Beijing.

On the way, Zhang Jun suddenly asked: "Brother Yang, there is something I want to know, can you tell me frankly?"

"Zhang Xianggong, but it's okay to say."
