One Piece of Song Dynasty

Zhang Jun said: "Your Majesty ascended the throne and inspired to restore the country. If Li Gang's suggestions are effective, then what Li Gang said is a loyal suggestion. But now the results have shown that what Li Gang said are useless words and useless. That is empty words, empty words are useless and need not be said.

There are also so-called decisive battles, patrols, and powerful enemies on the side. How to control the food and grass, how to avoid shortage of weapons, how to sharpen the weapons, etc. are uncertain. Is it possible for your majesty to lead the exhausted soldiers to the north and determine the fate of a hundred years in one fell swoop? Ding, is it a hundred years of work?

As for Fu Hebei, Zhen Xiang and Deng, selecting generals and reducing soldiers is of vital importance, but Li Gang was so rash. How to Fu Hebei, how to defend Henan, and how to repair it. If you can't choose generals from the defeated army, you shouldn't ask for commanders in the wilderness. Neither Zhang Suo nor Fu Liang were qualified for their duties. Fu Liang had been ordered to do so for two months, but he still couldn't resist the Yellow River. Zhang Suo crossed the river, and Li Gang took full responsibility to make him fight bravely, the soul of the army. How can the selection of generals fail to carefully examine how to unite and reorganize the army after the defeat of our army, how to control the troops and train the soldiers? Over time, only those who dare to fight and are good at fighting can be selected as generals. Li Gang dedicated his life to safety, but instead of being down-to-earth and taking action, he just sat high in the hall and shouted loudly, "Today I will issue a list, and tomorrow I will issue an order. Isn't it just empty talk that will harm the country?"

"Li Gang had great ambitions to serve the country, but it was a pity that he was too rough." Zhao Ding shook his head and came to a conclusion.

Zhang Jun shook his head sadly: "Today there is great chaos, the wind and rain are swaying, and the cities and fields thousands of miles away from Heshuo are empty. The success or failure of the country is at the blink of an eye. Military and national affairs should be coordinated by the collective efforts of the people, and they must not be taken as one-stop strategies. And Li Gang is all alone. It is important to Jiuding, but it specializes in cooking without rice. It determines unfeasible strategies and talks loudly. It is impossible to say anything feasible and effective in practice. Therefore, it is better not to say anything. I will impeach Li Gang. Some people say that I avenge myself and repay my teacher's kindness, but in public and private matters, I admit that I am right."

"In this case, why should Mr. Zhang feel sorry for Li Gang?" Zhu Shengfei was puzzled. Zhang Jun stopped talking and just sighed. Zhao Ding knew Zhang Jun best and had already guessed what he was thinking: "Let me speak for him. No matter how bad Li Gang is, he is still better than Zhang Jun's mentor Huang Qianshan. What Zhang Jun is worried about is that although Li Gang's defense is ineffective, it is still better than nothing. Li Gang Yi Let's go, Huang Qianshan is in power, the country is changing again, I'm afraid everything will come to an end."

"Brother Zhao is the only one who knows me." Zhang Jun immediately bowed to Zhao Ding.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Shengfei also bowed to Zhang Jun and said: "I am not happy to remove Li Gang, but I am worried about the overall situation of the world. This is the manner of a true minister."

Zhang Jun shook his head and said: "The Jin army marching south is unstoppable. The emperor has trouble sleeping and eating. How can a minister not worry?"

As the three of them were talking, they suddenly saw Chen Dong leading a team of students coming all the way holding slogans and shouting "Resist Jin Li on the spot and reinstate the official to his post."

Zhao Ding and Zhang Jun saw that Chen Dong was so arrogant and confusing at this critical moment, and were about to stop him. Zhu Shengfei knew that Chen Dong was recommended by him in the first place, so he quickly reminded them that stepping forward at this time would most likely provoke a popular uprising. Zhao Ding and Zhang Jun suddenly remembered that Chen Dong instigated the Xuandemen uprising in the first year of Jingkang. They felt deeply that the matter was of great importance and hurriedly asked Zhu Shengfei to go back and report to Zhao Gou. The three of them rushed to the Yamen. Lao Yuan saw Zhao Gou and Wu Shaofen standing in front of the door, preparing to welcome the upcoming Empress Dowager Meng.

Zhao Gou had not known Empress Dowager Meng before. Because his mother was plundered to the north, he felt very close to Empress Dowager Meng, not to mention that Empress Dowager Meng had made great contributions to Zhao Gou's ascension to the throne. Wu Shaofen was an orphan. She didn't think that her mother and her mother were discussing how to treat Empress Dowager Meng as their own mother. Wu Shaofen reminded Zhao Gou: "The Empress Dowager Meng is here. Your Majesty must always smile. Shaofen has never seen Your Majesty smile before."

"I originally relied on Li Gang wholeheartedly, but I didn't expect him. And now the situation is so serious, how can you make me laugh?" Zhao Gou's heart became heavy again. Wu Shaofen hurriedly comforted him: "If Li Gang had not failed in military affairs and killed innocent people indiscriminately, Your Majesty would not have dismissed him."

The two were talking when Kang Lu ran over and shouted: "Here it comes, the Empress Dowager Yuanyou is here."

Zhang Jun, Zhao Ding and Zhu Shengfei saw a group of honor guards escorting a large sedan approaching, and hurriedly stepped aside to salute. Yang Yizhong, Zhang Jun and the maids helped Empress Dowager Meng get out of the sedan chair. Empress Dowager Meng raised her head and looked at Zhao Gou: "The emperor's body is too thin."

Zhao Gou hurriedly knelt down and said, "Queen Mother, my son and I are late to greet you."

Empress Dowager Meng said: "The emperor is weak, please get up quickly."

Then the three of them entered the government office. When they arrived at the back office, they sat down to drink tea. Empress Dowager Meng took Wu Shaofen's hand and said, "Brother Ninth is not easy to be the emperor. You will suffer."

"Shaofen is nothing. It's just that it's really difficult for Your Majesty to be the emperor." When the two mothers met, they couldn't help but talk about their parents' personal differences. Here, Zhao Gou removed Zhang Jun from bringing the imperial equipment because of his meritorious service. Zhang Jun took the initiative to ask for orders to go to Nanyang to quell the rebels. Zhao Gou nodded in agreement.

Zhang Jun has his own plan. He wants to take advantage of this opportunity to return to Yang Yizhong. Previously, Han Shizhong and Liu Guangshi also asked Zhao Gou for Yang Yizhong, but Zhao Gou was not willing to give it to him. However, Yang Yizhong was originally Zhang Jun's subordinate, so Zhao Gou had no choice but to reluctantly part with him. Yang Yizhong bid farewell to the emperor and left with Zhang Jun.

A few days after Li Qingzhao and his servants and maids escorted the vehicle, as soon as they entered Laiwu City Gate, there was a rumble like thunder behind them. Everyone turned around in surprise and saw people outside the city rushing into the city gate. They ran towards them in panic and shouted: "The golden soldiers are chasing me. The golden soldiers are chasing me."

Suddenly dust was flying outside the city gate, covering the sky and the sun. Several Jin Army scouts have already arrived. The coachmen who hired a convoy after Li Qingzhao hurriedly abandoned their carriages and horses and ran away in all directions. The people were crying for their fathers and mothers, and they were in chaos. The servants and maids in the cars in front and behind disappeared in the blink of an eye. Li Qingzhao looked around in horror. Several Jin soldiers had arrived in front of the car and jumped onto it one after another. Li Qingzhao knelt in the car and spread his arms in horror, protecting the collection: "Don't come over."

The Jin soldiers didn't care so much. Just as they were about to commit murder, they were attacked and killed by a few strong men who suddenly appeared. The men jumped into several carts and drove them quickly. Li Qingzhao was frightened by the man: "Who is the benefactor?"

The man replied: "Madam, please don't be alarmed. We are affiliated to the Nanjing Imperial Camp Division, and we have been specially ordered by the emperor to protect my wife and cultural relics when they go south."

Nanjing Imperial Camp Division, that was sent by the emperor. The new emperor had so many things to do, but he could still think of protecting cultural relics and sending troops to protect himself. What an honor it was. Li Qingzhao was so moved when he thought of this. The man drove the car quickly, carrying Li Qingzhao through the city. The fleeing people also swarmed out of the city, leaving the empty streets in a mess.

A large group of golden soldiers came surrounded by Wu Shu. When Wu Shu saw the bodies of the killed Jin soldiers, he stopped, looked around angrily, and gave an order: "If anyone dares to resist, the entire city will be slaughtered regardless of age or rank."
