One Piece of Song Dynasty

When Aunt Sun's children heard about it, they also clamored to go to the Qiantang River to watch the tide, but they didn't know that it was watching the tide that brought great disaster to Zhao Gou and the Southern Song Dynasty.

That evening, Shaofen had a premonition that something was wrong. She had just walked into the back garden of the government office with Empress Dowager Meng and Gillian holding the prince. She was talking about the news that Wang Yuan had been promoted to Deputy Privy Councilor a few days ago and was dismissed from office today. Lan Gui was whipping Kang Lu hard in the back garden, while Zhao Gou was watching with his hands on his cheeks. Empress Dowager Meng and Wu Shaofen were surprised and rushed over to stop them, but Zhao Gou refused to comply. Wu Shaofen thought, His Majesty has always been generous and forgiving, Kang Lu must have made some big mistake to make him so angry.

Wu Shaofen asked Kang Lu, and Kang Lu sadly explained the whole story. It turned out that Wang Yuan had just been promoted to deputy privy envoy by Zhao Gou because of his meritorious service in escorting him. Kang Lu had to invite him to Qiantang to watch the tide to celebrate, and even set up the boss's tent. Generals Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan were angry when they saw that the emperor granted Wang Yuan no reward to them, but this time they took advantage of it and went to complain to the emperor. The emperor was so angry that he beat him.

Zhao Gou was so angry that his teeth hurt even more: "As soon as I arrived in Hangzhou on the th, I immediately issued an edict, ordering a commander to prepare boats to welcome the soldiers, civilians, and military dependents of Changzhou and Runzhou, save rituals and goods, reduce food and food, and send people out of the palace. , trying every possible means to save money. But you guys just came here two days ago and started showing off, and you still don’t deserve a beating."

Shaofen touched Zhao Gou's hot face and said, "This is the reason why Wang Yuan should be beaten. Your Majesty, please ask the imperial doctor to take a look."

"I'm mad. I'm being chased by people at sky-high prices all day long. Who can bear this and no one can worry about it? Why don't Kang Lu get some peppercorns for the emperor to hold in his mouth." Empress Dowager Meng said this deliberately, intending to save her. Healthy shoes. Kang Lu gratefully agreed and limped away. Empress Dowager Meng added a cushion on the pier and helped Wu Shaofen sit down: "Be careful of the cold. Don't let the emperor get angry. Didn't we arrive in Hangzhou safely? As the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood."

"Why is Your Majesty still looking so ugly? What else happened?" Shaofen looked at Zhao Gou and guessed what he was thinking. Zhao Gou gritted his teeth and said: "Zhao Ding reported that Han Shizhong had just gathered his defeated troops and went south, and Liu Guangshi's general Wang De actually killed Han Shizhong's generals."

"There is such a thing" Shaofen was surprised. Zhao Goudao frowned and shook his head: "Han Shizhong was not a fuel saver. He turned around and burned Liu Guangshi's grain and grass. Liu Guangshi was frightened and led his troops to withdraw. Shizhong sent troops to pursue him."

"Han Shizhong is a man who only cares about food but not fights. He was dismissed from office the last time he entered Yangzhou. Why did he turn around and forget that Liu Guangshi was also there? How could he restrain of his subordinates but Han Shizhong beat them away." Empress Dowager Meng became more and more horrified. , talking non-stop. Zhao Gou nodded: "So Zhao Ding said that Liu Guangshi was not strict in controlling the army, and Wang De's general was outside. He was good at killing without restraint. If he did not punish him, what else would the general dare not do? Fortunately, Zhao Ding had already asked Wang De, General Han Shizhong was escorted to Yousi for punishment."

"How will your majesty deal with Liu Guangshi and Han Shizhong, each of whom will have fifty hits?" Shaofen asked. Zhao Gou was so painful that he punched his cheek: "I have issued an edict to rebuke Han Shizhong. I have ordered Liu Guangshi to be the envoy to Jiangdong and Huaixi, and to set up Si Chizhou. I have given him a hundred thousand coins. I have also written a handwritten letter to Jia Fu Kou Xun to distribute the envoys to two people. Reconcile them.”

"Jia Fuben of the Eastern Han Dynasty was a scholar, proficient in ministers, and Kou Xun was from a distinguished family, especially the Zuo family in the Spring and Autumn Period. He was well versed in the stories of Lian Po and Lin Xiangru, so Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu made peace with him as soon as he said it." Wu Shaofen shook his head and said, "Look at us again. Both of you, Han Shizhong, can't even recognize the characters, and Liu Guangshi is also a scumbag who doesn't understand things. How to compare with others will be a waste of time for Your Majesty."

"It's just giving rewards to people after killing them. I've never heard of it. They should be punished as hard as Zhao Ding." Empress Dowager Meng changed the subject, "I heard that Zhu Shengfei is back. This guy is just a little clever. Not too spicy. Don’t look at Zhao Ding, but from what I see, he has a lot to do in the future.”

"What the Queen Mother said is true. Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty flourished in Lingwu, and it was only after he got Li Mian that the court was respected. Now that I have Zhao Ding, I am worthy of the ancients." Zhao Gou nodded in agreement. Empress Dowager Meng added: "What the emperor lacks is such capable ministers. He can't always dispatch troops and generals by himself. How can he manage it?"

"Conquer from the middle" was the ancestral family law of the Song Dynasty. The emperor had to personally deploy every battle or even every battle. Zhao Gou told Empress Dowager Meng this idea tactfully. Unexpectedly, Empress Dowager Meng curled her lips and said: "Taizong will lead the imperial army. People have that ability. Starting from Taizong, which of your emperors is the material for war?"

Zhao Gou was feeling discouraged after hearing this, when he suddenly heard a huge roar coming from far away. He raised his head and was shocked. Shaofen stood up and saw a large group of black swans flying from the northeast and landing on a large camphor tree in the garden. When Zhao Gou saw that it was a crow returning to its nest, he felt it was unlucky and quickly asked Lan Gui to demolish the crow's nest.

The three-year-old prince was so frightened that he started crying in Gillian's arms. Zhao Gou waved his hand irritably, signaling her to take the child back. Just after he finished giving the instructions, he suddenly remembered something: "I almost forgot. Lan Gui, hurry up and pass on my oral instructions, ordering the states south to sell rice and sell grain. Hangzhou will produce 10 dendrobium of rice. To relieve refugees heading south.”

Empress Dowager Meng smiled and said: "Let me be happy. Nowadays, stories about the emperor crossing the river on mud horses are spread everywhere in Hangzhou."

A dazzling lightning flashed, followed by a rumble of thunder. The thunder was so close that it made your feet numb. Zhao Gou raised his head and murmured: "It's true that the mud horse crossed the river. I am the destined emperor, and I will be blessed by God."

Wu Shaofen raised his head, his face full of ominous foreboding, but he comforted him: "The emperor survived the catastrophe, and he will be blessed later."

The rain didn't stop until the fifth day of March. On this day, Wang Yuan came back from court and passed by a bridge in the north of Hangzhou in a sedan chair. Suddenly, a flash of lightning illuminated Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and armed soldiers hiding under the bridge. Wang Yuan secretly screamed, and soldiers like wolves and tigers jumped out from the left and right, and hacked Wang Yuan's guards to death with swords. Liu Zhengyan stabbed the sedan with his knife, directly stabbing Wang Yuan's heart. Miao Fu opened the sedan Afterwards, the army held Wang Yuan's head and rushed towards Kang Lu's house with Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan in their arms. Anyone who didn't have a beard was spared, and they killed dozens of people in a blink of an eye, but still couldn't find Kang Lu, so the gangsters who were red-eyed went straight to the Hangzhou government office with murderous intent. The famous "Miao-Liu Incident" in the history of Song Dynasty was officially staged.

At this time, Zhao Gou also gradually received news of the rebellion. Kang Yunzhi, the magistrate of Hangzhou, took hundreds of officials and asked Zhao Gou of the Song Dynasty to go to the city tower to calm the army and the people, otherwise the rebellion would not be stopped. Zhao Gou climbed up to the city tower and leaned on the railing to ask Fu Miao why he led his troops to rebel. When Fu Miao met Zhao Gou, he still shouted and bowed down. Then he sharply accused Zhao Gou and said: "Your Majesty trusts eunuchs. If you make friends with eunuchs, you can get a high position. Wang Boyan, Huang Qianshan was fatuous and had harmed his country but was not yet exiled. Wang Yuan was unable to resist effectively when he encountered the enemy, but he got the high position of Privy Council because of his friendship with Kang Lu. He made many meritorious deeds, but he only served as a regimental trainer in a remote county, and said that he had killed Wang Yuan. He also captured and killed the eunuchs who were outside, and forced Zhao Gou to kill Kang Lu, Lan Gui, and Zeng Xie, the three closest eunuchs, to thank the three armies."
