Chapter 38 The White Horse(2/3)
"Brother Ninth, Guanjia, I am Shiba Lang...King Xin!" The young prince was frightened for a moment. "You don't recognize me?"
"You are obviously the 19th Lang!" Zhao Jiu was furious. "Did you lose your mind and go crazy after a trip to the north?! Didn't you know that King Xin was in the Taihang Mountains?!"
The man suddenly understood and quickly corrected: "Don't disturb the officials. When Brother Eighteen escaped, I was afraid that the Jin people would pursue him, so I falsely called him Brother Eighteen..."
Zhao Jiu then nodded.
"Your Majesty, why should you deceive yourself?" The two saints came over there, and the golden envoy Wulin Dazanmo, who had been watching coldly, couldn't stand it any longer. "Today the two saints are released, it's time to formally negotiate a peace. By then, the five counties of Jingdong will be given to you.
You should also pick up the people in the Taihang Mountains..."
"That is a matter for those who negotiate peace. What does it have to do with me?" Zhao Jiu said coldly. "Don't forget my words."
Wulin replied to Zanmo and sneered without saying much.
In this way, after waiting for a while, Zhao Jiu finally saw these people one by one, and everyone knew that the key point today was finally coming. Even Wulin Dazanmo also cheered up with great interest.
Sure enough, Zhao Jiu hesitated for a moment, but returned to the Second Sage seriously, nodded, and then said sincerely: "I was just guarding the country on behalf of my father and brother. Now that my father and brother are back, it is time for me to step aside and give way to someone worthy of my honour."
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding civil and military officials, as well as the two saints in front of him, Da Xia, almost all trembled... The two saints were frightened, and the other civil and military officials were also frightened.
You must know that if it were someone else's game of three concessions and three concessions, it would be called father's kindness and son's filial piety combined with procedural justice. But this official should not have such an attitude if he doesn't know who everyone knows.
However, just when everyone was hesitating whether to bravely accompany the official to play a double game of three concessions and three concessions, next, the official did something that shocked everyone to death.
Seeing him turn around and pull out the sword from Yang Yizhong's waist in public... Regardless of the fact that Taishang Daojun and the Emperor were frightened and fell down, he cut open his red robe in front of everyone, broke off the hard-winged turban on his head, and threw them to the ground together.
Then, wearing only the ordinary cloth military uniform under his robe, he turned around and mounted his horse to the army behind Long Hu.
The incident happened suddenly, and even Han Shizhong and others were obviously stunned. They actually allowed this official to walk into the army, seize the horse, then get on the horse, but rein in the horse again:
"I have returned the palace and the throne of Tokyo City to the two saints. Who will do it is their own business. But as the saying goes, Han and traitors cannot coexist, and a great country cannot live in peace! Those who want to fight today can abandon their official positions and follow me.
I'm going to Nanjing to get Jingdong! If you want to make peace today, you can guard the officials and support the two saints, escort them back to Kaifeng Mansion, and then go to the Jin Kingdom to declare a direct alliance of brothers... There is no reason for indifference between the two.
"
After saying this, he actually wanted to ride eastward.
The surrounding officers panicked and actually reined in their horses together. Even the imperial guard Ban Zhi who was guarding Long Yu also instinctively wanted to pull the flag.
"Han Shizhong!"
Lu Haowen, who had remained invisible during the peace negotiation, stepped forward and passed the stunned Zhao and Zhang, and shouted quickly, "Stop the officials quickly... If the officials really escape from the officials this time, you are the one Sinner!"
Han Shizhong, who had a jade belt hanging on his body, was in a trance for a moment, and then he came to his senses. He immediately turned over and dismounted, and the cavalryman hugged a horse leg. Wu Jie and Wang De quickly followed and dismounted, and each of them also hugged a horse leg. Even though his legs were crooked, after being glared at by Han Shizhong, he could only dismount and follow suit.
As for Li Qiong, Liu Qi, Li Shifu, Yang Yizhong, Liu Yan and others, as well as more than a dozen commanders such as Qiao Zhongfu and Zhang Jing, they had no choice but to lead the crowd to dismount and kneel down, surrounding Zhao Guan's family and his mount.
"Ms. Lu doesn't keep his word!" Zhao Jiu sneered on the horse, which was the first time he had acted openly today. "That's not what you said at the fish pond that day..."
"Your Majesty!" Duke Lu Haowen bowed to him regardless of his age. "How can two mere saints break the country apart?"
"Your Majesty!" Zhao Ding, the prime minister of the capital, also hurriedly bowed down and raised his fingers to the sky in public. "I have already planned that all the descendants of the clan who come back this time will be demoted to the people, and the emperor will go to Mingdao." Emperor Taishang Yuansheng will relocate to the Dongxiao Palace! The two saints are in no way capable of dividing the country! Please also ask the officials to return to Tokyo with the brigade!"
"Officials!" Prime Minister Zhang Jun also bowed his head and responded. "If the officials want to fight, they can just speak out. Why do you do this?"
The other civil servants woke up, saw that it was nothing, and bowed down one after another... For a while, civil servants and ministers knelt down in a dense crowd, but Zhao Jiu just sneered on his horse.
After the civil servants over there bowed down, Wang Shu, the Minister of Justice, became more and more angry as he thought about it, but he directly pushed Liu Dazhong, the Minister of Civil Affairs in front of him, on the back: "It's all you people who always pretend that the country is the most important thing, but the results are repeated again and again." Third, you are just selling yourself to gain fame, and use the Two Saints to oppress the officials! If there is disaster in the country, it is all done by you people."
Liu Dazhong was unprepared for a moment and was pushed to the ground. He was also very angry and turned around to speak, but he knew that he could not defend himself at this time, so he could only hammer the ground hard and choked without saying a word.
At this moment, Censor Zhongcheng Li Guang, who had been bowing his head for a long time, suppressed all the emotions in his heart and raised his head to face each other slowly: "Guan family! I also thought that the two saints could be placed in various places..."
Emperor Daojun and Emperor Yuan Sheng burst into tears when they heard this, and quickly expressed their stance in front of the dragon.
Emperor Daojun first handed over his hands to the man on the horse: "Let Brother Jiu know that my father knows that it is all the hard work of Brother Jiu that he can return to Henan alive this time. It is a great blessing for my father, and he will never share half of his power and position." Heart."
Emperor Yuan Sheng was even more straightforward: "Brother Ninth, please don't think that people like us have abolished the relationship between monarch and minister. I am willing to leave immediately and go to Dongxiao Palace."
However, when Zhao Jiu heard this, he just shook his head: "If it's just like this, forgive me for not being able to respond!"
The two saints were completely frightened. They felt that they were going to lose their lives today, and the officials were also powerless.
"The official family!" Li Guang regained his breath and asked again with all his strength. "How far should the official family go to stop messing around?"
"Who told Zhongcheng that I was just fooling around?" Zhao Jiu turned his head and looked at the tall ship of the imperial navy on the Yellow River to the north.
"The official family." Another person spoke up, but it was Li Jing, the censor. His blood was rising, but he responded angrily. "The two holy committees are not enough to shake the official family's throne. It's just that the official family is angry and sent to live in a Taoist temple."
It's enough, but why does it go to this point? Do we really have to openly commit patricide and brother murder?"
"Li Jing." Zhao Jiu finally turned around on the horse, but his eyes were filled with coldness. "Who told you what Second Saint I did for?"
Li Jing became increasingly angry, but just when he was about to say more, he suddenly remembered some things written in his brother Li Gang's letter, and he seemed to wake up for a moment. Not only that, many other civil servants, up and down, also felt the same.
Thinking about it, Long Huixia suddenly became silent.
"What is the Second Saint?"
Seeing this situation, Zhao Jiu not only did not calm down, but was completely furious, and shouted directly on the horse. "I have already thought about it clearly, they are just two useless people! I want to kill them, so I will lock them up at a distance for half a tael a day."
Arsenic, just wait for them to die on their own; if I don't bother to care about them, just throw them into Taoism and watch and watch as you said, where is the use of such pretense?! My throne, do you want to worry about it? As early as now
When Tokyo is restored, no one can move it! They say one after another that I am worried about them coming to destabilize it? What can I use to move it? That red robe? Or have you become an immortal through cultivation in Five Kingdoms City?! The reason why I am like this is not at all
I want you to deal with the Two Saints, but I want to use the Two Saints to deal with you! This is just like you don't really respect the Two Saints, but you want to use the Two Saints to pinch me!"
When the emperor was angry, his momentum was extraordinary, and the whole audience was awe-inspiring. Even Wulin Dazanmo, who sneered silently, also looked a little solemn. Only Han Shizhong and others on horseback knew that they were not fighting for the throne or killing people, so they looked at each other.
However, he relaxed his horse's legs a little and took advantage of the opportunity to stretch his own legs and feet.
After a while, Liu Dazhong, who had regained his composure, stood up and greeted each other respectfully: "Official, I have something to say..."
"explain."
"I am definitely not trying to use the two saints to tease Your Majesty, but since ancient times, all countries in the world have the same principles..."
"All countries under heaven are of the same origin?" Zhao Jiu immediately raised his voice.
"yes!"
"Then I happened to hear such a passage." Zhao Jiu raised his voice and said, "It's exactly what the world and the country are all the same... Liu Qing, the world and the country are all the same, but now in the same family, the sons are the same.
My brother's, he worked hard and weaved all year round, and finally accumulated some food and cloth, but his father and brother took it all away to build a garden, hold banquets, and use it as a harem. If it didn't go as planned, he would be whipped and tortured, and even if he was beaten to death, he wouldn't care. In your place
, are you willing?"
Liu Dazhong was silent and unable to respond... Although he didn't know the origin of these words, he knew that it was criticizing the extravagance and lust of the Taishang Emperor, especially the Taishang Daojun Emperor, and this kind of criticism was made early.
Yes, it’s really hard to refute.
But for some reason, many of the surrounding civil and military officials felt as if they were possessed by evil spirits when they heard these words, and their whole bodies trembled. For example, Li Guang, who was originally going to defend Liu Dazhong, now also looked pale.
Bai, his body shook.
But Zhao Jiu immediately continued: "That's not all. After building the garden, holding banquets, and filling the harem, I finally had a little leftover. If I didn't show sympathy for my son and brother below who were still hungry at home, I would use the remaining money."
Give the money and silk to the enemies, thieves..."
"I am guilty!" Li Guang suddenly raised his head and shouted among the ministers, which aroused Liu Dazhong's surprise.
Not only that, Emperor Taishang Daojun, who had been afraid to speak for a long time, was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly covered his face and started sobbing.
"The officials..." Lu Haowen, who had come to his senses, suddenly spoke out in a pleading tone.
Zhao Jiu paused for a moment, but continued to speak louder: "Enemies, thieves and bandits took money and silk to make themselves rich, and then came to rob and kill people at home. Fathers and brothers only let sons and brothers die... Dare I ask?
Is it okay for father and brother to do this?"
"Liu Qing, I'm asking you." Zhao Jiu took the initiative to urge after a brief pause. "You said that the world, family and country are all the same. I ask you, is it okay for father and brother to do this?"
"The official's words are sharp." Liu Dazhong had no choice but to face him, but he still did not dare to face him head-on.
"The words are naturally sharp, but they are not my words. These are the records I have seen while living in the harem these days." Zhao Jiu smiled. "Liu Qing, this was eleven years ago, when Jiangnan La rebelled.
, tell it to the people in the south of the Yangtze River... and Zhang Dutong on the river was also forced to go to Liangshan at that time."
Liu Dazhong looked pale and shaky.
"However, who would have thought that after eleven years, these words are still so appropriate?" Zhao Jiu looked up to the sky and sighed. "I have been thinking about the world, the country, the court, the north and the south, and this.
What happened to Da Song Dynasty?! After thinking about it, I can’t change the past. And no matter how dirty and rotten Da Song Dynasty is, it belongs to my family, right? So, all I can do is admit it.
The Song Dynasty before, and then focus on the current and future things... This is my responsibility! I not only want to inherit this country, preserve it, and continue it, but also guide her to move forward and take a new path!
"
"Then we will lead it as Shao, and I will Shao Song!"
"In the past, Xixia couldn't be conquered, and the Jin couldn't defeat it in the past, so why can't we abandon those old things and start from scratch to build a new Song Dynasty?"
"Can't we build a Song Dynasty that is as good as the Han and Tang Dynasties, which can destroy Xixia and win gold? It doesn't build Gen Yue, it doesn't give away women, it doesn't pay gold and silver, the emperor can guard the country, and it kills the country?"
"But some people don't know why. They know what I want to do, but they are always unwilling to go forward with me. They always want to go back and join that Fengheng Yu University! Now, Fengheng Yu University
I have invited the Holy Lord for you, and asked you to keep him going to Tokyo to continue to prosper Henan University, but you still dislike me for messing around?! Who is messing around?!"
At the end of the sentence, Zhao Jiu was already boiling with energy and blood, but he immediately restrained his breath and turned back to face him:
"I have made it clear today that I am not doing it for the Two Saints today. They are really not worthy of my attitude. It is hard to say that it is for the people, because I just want the people to express their attitude, and those from Lianghe will not be able to get through. I am here today.
For you...for you, the scholar-bureaucrats who are indispensable for running the country, today I want you to make a clear distinction...I and the two saints; the new and the old; war and peace; the people of the two rivers and the suffocation of peace; prosperity and prosperity.
To be continued...
