Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

After a few days, the Emperor Daojun also learned that the latest version of the script had been published in the capital.King Yun Zhao Kai heard that Emperor Daojun was reading the storybook, and immediately called the imperial physician to stand by. Who would have thought that the imperial physician had been waiting for several days, but Emperor Daojun did not feel the slightest discomfort.King Yun admired his father's strength even more.

The only thing that changed for Emperor Daojun was that he didn't enter the harem for several days.Concubine Cui Guifei couldn't send someone to invite the official family, and Concubine Liu Guifei's sad face could not impress the official family. Empress Zheng was very surprised when she heard the news, and then she went to the study of Emperor Daojun in person.However, he found that the always gentle and elegant officials had a rare look of worry, mixed with traces of inexplicable evil spirits.

"Official, why are you unhappy about this?"

Empress Zheng and Concubine Wang were originally court ladies who served the Queen Mother. Because of their intelligence and good looks, they were bestowed by the Queen Mother on the newly enthroned emperor together. For 20 years, she and Concubine Wang joined hands, she won the throne, and Concubine Wang gained favor. Fortunately, the emperor is not a dedicated emperor, otherwise there will be no other women in the palace.

Emperor Daojun pointed out the scripts on the desk to Empress Zheng.Zheng first picked up the vernacular "Yiyu of the Qing Palace", casually flipped through a page, and after reading a little, she laughed.

"Officials, why does the person written here have the same name as the person in the inner palace? It seems that it was written by someone who has been out of the inner palace for many years."

At first Zheng smiled and commented a few words, but after looking at her, she no longer regarded it as a storybook, so she turned to the front page and read it carefully.After reading a few pages, her hands began to shake.The content in the book made her more and more afraid as she read it, until she was too trembling to hold the book in the end.

"Officials, the Jinren may be as sharp as in the book? Can they break through the nine defenses and besiege the capital?"

Emperor Daojun has been in power for many years, why doesn't he know the strength of the frontier army, that is the top priority of Song Dynasty.But such the strongest army in the Song Dynasty was unable to break through Yanjing, which was last captured by the Kingdom of Jin twice. Compared with the two, it is a self-evident fact that the army of the Song Dynasty is inferior to that of the Kingdom of Jin.

Once the defense line on the northern frontier is broken, the Jin soldiers will follow the trend and will surely besiege Bianliang like a broken bamboo.However, Bianliang has a large population, and it has to rely on canals to transport a large amount of materials every day.If Bianliang was besieged for a month, the panic and confusion of the people in the capital would be unimaginable.

"Officials, is it too late to send troops to strengthen the defense of the Nine Frontiers?"

Empress Zheng has been able to sit firmly in the back seat for many years, not only because of her beauty and flattery, she won the favor of those women who are loved by the Taoist emperor.Since entering the palace, she has been "good at reading books, able to control chapters, and the emperor loves her talents", and she has been able to keep the affectionate emperor's favor. She is undoubtedly a smart person who can grasp the key to things.

Emperor Daojun nodded, and the defense on the nine sides must be strengthened.But now with Song's financial resources... he had no choice but to tell Zheng the truth.

"If the imperial court has six cents of the financial resources, five cents have already been invested in the army. Not to mention the golden soldiers, even the tens of thousands of bandits in Liangshanpo, the imperial court has almost tens of thousands of troops. Bing, there is absolutely nothing wrong."

The Emperor Daojun sighed and raised millions of troops, but in the end it was useless when it came time to use them...

The Zheng family knew something about Tong Guan and Gao Qiu leading troops to encircle and suppress Liangshan again.She thought for a while, and suddenly suggested to Emperor Daojun tentatively: "Officials, why don't you let the bandits in Liangshanpo go against Jin Bing?"

"There was also a censor who suggested Zhao'an in the first place," Emperor Daojun smiled bitterly, "The person who suggested Zhao'an would have been relegated to Lingnan long ago. The bandits in Liangshan would now want to be in my country. If it weren't for the third brother being recruited these days In the palace, he was the one who died that night."

Mrs. Zheng hurriedly said: "Officials, you can't say that. Sister Liu is still bedridden with grief. If she finds out that her five brothers are all for the third brother..."

Emperor Daojun nodded and put the topic aside.

"Go back, I'll think about it again."

But Hu Sanniang won't give him time to think about it calmly.It has been five years since Xuanhe, and the time left for her is already very tight.The inner courtyard of the palace is getting stricter and stricter. She can only choose those princes who have already opened the mansion. From the son of the Taoist Lord to the brothers, and slowly spread to the cousins, from far to near, this behavior makes the emperor of Bianliang The pro fell into a panic.Every day, the clan went to the palace to ask to see the Taoist emperor, urging the emperor to find out the murderer of the clan.

The Emperor Daojun avoided seeing him on the grounds of convalescing his illness, and the clan's relatives targeted the prince who supervised state affairs.

The prince was overwhelmed by the successive deaths of his clan members and the pressure of the clan to track down the murderer.He vaguely guessed that his father knew that something like this was going to happen, so he sent a large number of forbidden troops to Beijing to seal the palace.And part of the reason why the father was in a hurry to get the Zen seat should also be to avoid trouble.

Emperor Daojun said to King Yun, who was with him every day: "Father is also helpless now, with internal and external troubles. Fangla in the south of the Yangtze River was pacified in the south. He thought that Liang Shanbo had been living in a slumber, but Tong Guan would be able to eradicate this place. Civil strife is the only way to deal with the Nine Frontiers with all our strength. But you have also seen that the bandits in Liangshanbo are rampant, and you have been to the bandits several times in your house. If you were not in the palace..."

Zhao Kai knew that his father was thinking of himself, so he kept himself in the palace every day.

"Father, this is not the end. The bandits have not only harmed many clan members these days, but also harmed younger brothers."

In front of the Taoist Emperor, Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, was very worried about his clan relatives in the capital, and even more worried about his brothers who had already left the palace to see the mansion.

Emperor Daojun shook his head, "It's not true. There is one thing you haven't thought about. There are only two brothers Tai/Zu and Taizong in the Song Dynasty. How many people are there in the clan supported by the court now? If this continues, you have many brothers, plus Such a huge clan is no longer able to support the imperial court. Although I feel sorry for your brothers, there is nothing I can do. It is impossible to send more imperial troops to Beijing, and there are already enough imperial troops guarding the palace."

King Yun understood what his father meant, and there were not many brothers who left the palace to build a mansion, and more princes still lived in the palace with their mothers and concubines.The father wants to use the hands of Liangshan bandits to get rid of close members of the clan and even more clan members.

After Wu Song sent those books to the places designated by Bianliang, the major bookstores in Bianliang soon released reprinted versions.The disgruntled people agreed with some of the words in the best-selling book "Song Prisoner", thinking that the Zhao family established the country improperly and treated the descendants of Zhou Shizong who held the iron scroll alchemy badly.Contacting the recent princes and clan children who died suddenly, it should really be a disaster left by the ancestors to future generations.

Such arguments quickly spread into the palace, and the emperor Daojun remembered that Chai Jin, a descendant of Zhou Shizong, was arrested and then snatched by Liangshan.Prince Pian also wanted to shift the matter to Liangshan, and used Liangshan bandits to coerce Chai Jin and force Chai Jin to go to Liangshan, instead of the Zhao family being sorry for Zhou Shizong's descendants and covering the Zhao family's shame in the court.Of course, this kind of news was also obtained by Liang Shan's hidden stake in the capital, and then it was spread intentionally.

Public opinion was in an uproar for a while.

Wu Song sorted out the news he heard from the teahouse for Hu Sanniang to read, while still commenting on the prince.

"The prince is really shameless. Everyone in the teahouse is saying that those bandits in Liangshanpo just robbed Chai Jin's family property, and why are they taking him up the mountain? Are they trying to get back the land lost by their ancestors for him?"

Hu Sanniang laughed, "The crown prince is really stupid. The news about Uncle Chai being seized of his family property and Chai Jin being imprisoned was spread when Liangshan attacked Gaozhou. Now it's too late to turn black and white."

Wu Song laughed, and then asked with some uncertainty, "My lord, do you want to recover the ancestral property for Mr. Chai?"

Hu Sanniang shook her head, "I don't owe him anything, how could I do such a thing for him."

Wu Song nodded.Although he had taken refuge in Chai Daguan's Zhuangzi in the past, he was very grateful to Chai Jin for a time.But later, when Chai Jin watched people set the dishes, even the ordinary Zhuang Ding showed his face to him.At that time, if he hadn't made a fool of himself, he would have left long ago.Later, when he met brother Gongming, Chai Jin regained his attitude and asked for medical medicine again.

Alas, don't mention Brother Gongming.

"As long as you don't want to beg for Chai Jin's ancestral property, General. Some people in the teahouse said that Liang Shan took away Chai's officials and people to use the banner of Zhou Shizong to claim the Zhao family's world."

Hu Sanniang laughed, "If you want it, you want it. How can you borrow someone else's name and banner? The father and son of the Zhao family are not qualified to be emperors. The Taoist emperor's licentiousness and injustice have left the state government for many years, leading to slack military equipment and the attitude of the people living in dire straits." , if not us, there will be others.”

"Books like yours? Will it be the Kingdom of Jin?"

Hu Sanniang nodded.

Wu Song thought for a while and said: "It will really be like what is written in the book? Then what should we do?"

"Kick the Zhao family father and son down. Then the whole world will be governed according to Liangshan's set of rules, how about it?"

Wu Song breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart.

"That's the best. General, I used to disdain those rules the most. But I have been under the supervision of you and Pei Xuan for a long time on the mountain. As long as I abide by the rules, everyone will live more comfortably and freely. From now on, the whole world It would be nice if they all look like this.”

He paused for a while, then continued: "Actually, the prince might as well say that Officer Chai is dissatisfied, gathering thieves, roaring in the mountains and forests, intending to plot rebellion."

"Gathering bandits, whistling mountains and forests, this string of words, did you also hear them from the teahouse?"

Wu Song nodded. The task of him and the guards was to go to various teahouses and collect market news.

Hu Sanniang smiled, "It's not Chai Daguan who wants to rebel, but his general. Wu Erlang, you all guard the yard carefully. I have given the Zhao family enough time, and it will be too late after a few more months." , it's time to urge them."

It was night, Hu Sanniang threw a lot of drugs into the palace, and then searched carefully in the inner room of the palace, and finally found the emperor.

She poured a basin of cold water to wake up the father and son of Emperor Daojun, compared her sword to King Yun, and said, "If you want to yell, I will send him off immediately. Before the imperial army surrounds you, I will have time to send you on your way."

Emperor Daojun stayed in Fugui Township for a long time, and immediately his face turned pale with fright, and he was speechless with his mouth open.

King Yun is young and energetic, and still has a bit of courage.

"If you dare to hurt our father and son, you will be cut to pieces by five horses."

"Let's try?"

Hu Sanniang raised her hand, and the sword flashed against King Yun's scalp, and cut off the hair on top of King Yun's head.The falling black hair made King Yun subconsciously touch the top of his head.

And the Emperor Daojun, who watched Hu Sanniang's tricks, hurriedly said: "Just wait a minute, what do you want, you might as well say it."

"Okay, let's talk first." Hu Sanniang took some time off and dragged a chair to sit down.

"You father and son have read those few books in Tokyo, what do the officials think?"

Under the oppression of Jianmang, Emperor Daojun said with a bitter face: "Naturally, we must strengthen the nine sides to prevent the Jin people from invading."

Hu Sanniang sneered, "Do you think that relying on the current army of the Song Dynasty, we can defend against it? Even the tens of thousands of people in Liangshanbo, the court went back and forth with more than 30 horses, but nothing happened to Liangshan. It is this palace, you Tens of thousands of forbidden troops were mobilized, but they didn’t hold on.”

Emperor Daojun blushed.

King Yun was not convinced, "The generals and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty are not all incompetent. I lead troops to garrison the Nine Sides, how can I not be able to defend them?"

"You lead the army? Are you afraid that the soldiers of the Song Dynasty will die slowly? Feel your conscience. How much time have you spent in the barracks in the past 20 years? What skills do you have to lead the army? Since you are the prince, are you talking about soldiers on paper? You Really capable, go to Liangshan to try instead of Gao Qiu and Tong Guan?"

King Yun was choked speechless, how arrogant he is, you also know that there are so many generals in the imperial court who fell in Liangshan, and those generals must be stronger than him.

Hu Sanniang saw that the father and son were silent, stared at the Emperor Daojun and said, "If it weren't for the pity of the women and the people in the harem, I could wait a few years for your Zhao family to lose face and the golden men plunder your father and son." After the wife and daughter go north, they will come out. At that time, it will be easy to belong to the hearts of the people in the world.”

Emperor Daojun's expression suddenly changed.

"I've given you the opportunity to save the face of the Zhao family's clan and the lives of your father and son, but you don't cherish it. Do you think you have to get your Zen edict?"

Emperor Daojun immediately realized that the prince was now in charge of the country, and someone who came could kill himself, and then asked Zhao Heng, who was enthroned, for the imperial edict.

The author has something to say: Xuanhe five years

--In July, Zhang Jue, the former general of the Liao Kingdom and left behind in Jinpingzhou, surrendered to the Song Dynasty in Pingzhou.

In November, Zhang Jue was defeated and fled to the former Liao Yanjing, which had just become the Yanshan Mansion of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Later, Wanyan Zongwang used the Zhang Jue incident as an excuse to attack the Song Dynasty, which eventually led to the "Jingkang Difficulty".

In the seventh year of Xuanhe—Jin Taizong ordered Ban Bo Jilie and Wan Yanxie to be the Marshal of the capital, leading the Jin army to attack Bianjing, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty. Due to Li Gang's tenacious resistance, the Jin army could not break in, and the two sides established an "alliance under the city".
