Chapter 888 Zhang Jun must die

Obviously, Zhang Jun needs to take full responsibility for this defeat and the loss of soldiers, and there is no room for excuse.

Everyone can pretend that he hadn't heard of the things he said before, but Zhang Jun must take responsibility for the fact that it really caused a defeat comparable to the Huaixi military change.

This is not the first time Zhang Jun has caused a military defeat.

The defeat of Fuping was the first time that it ruined the last established military force in the Northern Song Dynasty that could fight against the Jin Kingdom, ruined the land of Guanzhong, and completely transformed the Northern Song Dynasty into the Southern Song Dynasty.

The Huaixi military change was the second time, ruining the Southern Song Dynasty's [-] troops and more than [-] people, directly causing the emptiness of the frontline battlefield defense, and also preventing the Southern Song Dynasty from taking the opportunity to gain any benefits in the subsequent turmoil of the Jin Dynasty's abolition of the puppet Qi regime. .

This third time, the main force of the fighting army in the Jinghu Theater of the Southern Song Dynasty was ruined, and the Jiangnan West Road was exposed to the attack range of the bandit army, which was almost impossible to contain, and greatly threatened the strategic security of the Southern Song Dynasty.

The ancients said that there are only three things, Zhang Jun has already made three mistakes that are enough to kill the person who wiped his butt for him, should he still forgive him?
If he is to be forgiven, who will bear the sin?Who will bear this responsibility?
Zhao Tan himself?
Does Da Song really want to treat scholar-officials so gracefully?

As a scapegoat emperor without any merit or administrative foundation, it was enough for Zhao Can to be blamed for Zhao Gou's blame and infamy. If this failure happened again, Zhao Can could almost abdicate.

There was a hustle and bustle of civil and military affairs in the whole dynasty, demanding that Zhang Jun be severely punished and even killed Zhang Jun in order to thank the world. .

Those members of Zhang Jun's party who supported Zhang Jun in the past do not dare to speak now, and have died down. Only a few people are still speaking for Zhang Jun.

For example, Chen Junqing, a die-hard fan of Zhang Jun, and Wang Shipeng, an official from the top scholar who Zhang Jun admires very much.

However, the scope of what they said for Zhang Jun could not involve the matter itself. They just seized the righteous name of Taizu's legacy and insisted on keeping Zhang Jun's life and not letting Zhang Jun die. As for the rest, they did not Dare to say.

Because the impact of this defeat is too great.

So Chen Junqing, Wang Shipeng and others were also impeached by a storm with Zhang Jun, and through the impeachment of Chen Junqing and Wang Shipeng, the impeachment storm gradually spread to the entire Zhang Jun party.

Under the surging tide, the forces of the Lord and faction, who had been pushed into the corner by Zhao Tan and Zhang Jun, showed signs of rising.

They took advantage of Zhang Jun's mistakes to counterattack, try to confuse the truth, change concepts, bind Zhang Jun's mistakes with Zhang Jun's main battle and radical position, and try to stigmatize the main battle and radical position. The full return of the Lord and Conservatives creates the conditions.

For example, they claimed that the defeat was due to Zhang Jun's impatience and Shao Hongyuan's arrogance.

Before that, under Qi Fang's prudent military strategy, the bandits on Jiangnan West Road showed no sign of defeating the imperial army.

The prudent tactics Qi Fang insisted have always kept the bandit army under control, and as long as there is enough time, the bandit army in Luoxiao Mountain will definitely be trapped to death.

Who doesn't understand the truth of sitting on the mountain?

But Zhang Jun didn't believe it, and listened to Shao Hongyuan's slander. He took Qi Fang and let Shao Hongyuan lead the battle. What happened?
Isn't this the new era of abandoning Lian rather than using Zhao Kuo?
What is the difference between Zhang Jun's behavior and that of Zhao Wang?
Pooh!A disaster for the country and the people!

From this, it can be seen that the safe tactics are the most suitable for Da Song, while the impatient tactics are not suitable for Da Song at all!

Zhang Jun is the sinner of the Song Dynasty, and his position cannot help the Song Dynasty to improve the situation. There is a serious problem with the grand strategy of the imperial court, which needs to be reflected!
The overall strategy of Da Song needs to be updated and iterated, and it cannot continue!
These main war factions are simply a group of sinners who want to bring about the destruction of the Song Dynasty!
The Lord and Pai, whose forces were suppressed to the bottom, actually showed signs of resurgence through this spring breeze.

Because of this trend, many officials who originally supported Zhang Jun's position also began to waver and began to "reflect" on whether what they did was right or not, and whether there was really a problem.

The internal line disputes in the Song court are faintly showing signs of deviating from the established track.

Although the situation between the government and the opposition is so dangerous, Zhao Tan is still hesitant about how to deal with Zhang Jun.

The first consensus reached by the court and the opposition was to oust Zhang Jun, but there was another force that was pushing Zhao Kan to take more decisive measures.

They demanded that Zhang Jun be executed, and the radicals who fought the main battle would be completely driven into the abyss so that they could not turn over.

The leader of this force is Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou knew that after the failure of the Jiangnan West Road Bandit Suppression War, he called Zhao Tan to the Longevity Palace and berated Zhao Tan.

The reason is very simple. Zhao Gou was threatened by the rebel bandits who crossed the Jiangnan West Road. He hated them very much. Day and night, he hoped that Zhao Tan would annihilate the bandits as soon as possible and give himself a bad breath.

As a result, the bandits were not resolved, and the Song army was completely wiped out.

Zhao Gou was furious and caught Zhao Tan and berated him.

He said what he said at the beginning. Even if the country was subjugated, Zhang Jun could no longer be used. Zhao Tan refused to listen and insisted on using Zhang Jun.

Okay, you use it, I let you use it, but what about the result?
The entire army was wiped out, and the bandits on Jiangnan West Road were about to grow bigger.

How to do?
Who will clean up the mess?
Do you still plan to continue to employ Zhang Jun?

Can I still use him?
Zhao Gou's intervention made Zhao Tan's sense of urgency suddenly increase, and he realized that something was going wrong.

However, Zhao Tan's understanding was somewhat deviated from Zhao Gou's true intentions.

Zhao Gou did not intend to threaten Zhao Tan's status and power. Zhao Tan was the emperor he chose. Ensuring Zhao Gou's safety and a happy life was one of the foundations of Zhao Tan's governance. Zhao Gou had no motive to threaten Zhao Tan's power, and he ran away from battle. This kind of thing itself has also cut off the possibility of his reset.

It's just that Zhao Gou's mentality as a Taishanghuang is different from that of ordinary Taishanghuang.

Because he took the initiative to abdicate himself, he took the initiative to abdicate to Zhao Tan, so he thought he had the power and qualification to guide Zhao Tan and reprimand him.

Zhao Gou had no idea of ​​restoration. The reason why he intervened in the government was for his own safety.

The power of the Ming Kingdom and the threat of the Ming army made Zhao Gou feel a little worried in the extravagant life, so he was stubborn and even paranoid, hoping for peace and peace in the country, without any worries.

So he can feel safe.

However, after his abdication, Zhao Tan not only failed to bring back the peace of the Southern Song Dynasty, but instead made the situation worse. He couldn't even suppress a thief, and he made the thief bigger.

He could not fire on Zhao Tan and ask Zhao Tan to hand over the throne, but he could only fire on Zhang Jun and ask Zhao Tan to destroy Zhang Jun.

Zhang Jun must die!
Zhao Gou was very angry, very annoyed, and summoned Zhao Tan to scolded him and told him to stop using Zhang Jun, describing Zhang Jun as a bastard who brought disaster to the country and the people, and he must be executed, and he could not continue to harm Jiangshan of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Gou even said that if you don't get rid of Zhang Jun, then get rid of me first. I'd rather die when the mountains and rivers are still there than when the mountains and rivers are broken!
Zhao Gou's resolute expression made Zhao Tan very panicked, and he didn't know what to do.

He was indeed very dissatisfied with Zhang Jun, and wanted to teach him a lesson, and even oust him, but executed him...

"Taihuang Mingjian, since the establishment of the dynasty, there has been a tradition of not killing scholars and officials, and it has not been broken so far, so ... this is the last instruction of the Taizu."

"Taizu's last instruction is Taizu's last instruction. Don't you have more things to do? Who said you must kill him in public? How did you, the emperor, do it?"

Zhao Gou's words shocked Zhao Tan, and he suddenly diverged his thoughts, thinking of many cases where he was handed out for crimes and died on the road.

"Your Majesty, this..."

"Emperor, don't blame me for not warning you, I won't stop you when you use Zhang Jun and others to take power, but Zhang Jun has offended too many people, how many people inside and outside the court and the public are dissatisfied with his takeover, yourself Have a number in mind."

Zhao Gou's complexion became gloomy and dripping.

"The wall is down and everyone pushes. If you don't let them push, they can only transfer their resentment to you. At that time, how should you deal with yourself? Since ancient times, there have been only ministers who share the worries of the ruler, and there is no ruler who shares the worries of the ministers. , you have to figure out where you stand!"
