The Sims: The Emperor Raising Project

Chapter 224
Three days later.

Zhao Gou was in a daze for a long time while holding the appeal against thieves written by Qin Hui himself.

But Zhang Jun and the others standing in the hall looked like children who had done something wrong, silently lowered their heads, not even daring to breathe.

Qin Hui counted dozens of major crimes committed by Zhao Gou in his appeal against thieves, and denounced them to the ground.

Among them, it directly pointed out that Zhao Gou once hinted that the ministers in the court wanted to kill his elder brother Zhao Huan, and behind this accusation, Qin Hui shamelessly fabricated a conversation between himself and Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou hinted that Qin Hui colluded with the inside and outside and wanted to put Zhao Huan to death, but Qin Hui replied out of righteous indignation: "The first emperor's decree prohibits indiscriminate punishment of flesh and blood. Therefore, if the minister obeys the order, the minister will be a disloyal minister, and your majesty will be an unfilial son.

When Liu Bian saw such a dialogue fabricated by Qin Hui's clumsy pen, he had a new definition of the word shameless.

Although Liu Bian felt very disgusted with Qin Hui's shameless behavior, he also made it clear what his priorities were. The top priority was to use Qin Hui's hands to smear Zhao Gou's reputation, so he expressed his concern for Qin Hui's shameless behavior. A choice with one eye closed.

If the crime of murdering the eldest brother is regarded as a matter of the emperor's family, then Zhao Gou secretly suppressed the main war faction in the court, pushed hard to negotiate a peace with Dajin, and created all kinds of difficulties for the two saints to return to the dynasty. This crime has been completely raised to the heights of the country.

Allowing the Kingdom of Jin to humiliate the people under its rule is disloyal to the country. It is unfilial to allow father and brother to suffer in the Kingdom of Jin without thinking of a way to rescue them. Construct the name of disloyalty and filial piety.

Compared with disloyalty and unfilial piety, other crimes seem a little trivial.

Zhao Gou raised his head silently, glanced around Zhang Jun and the others, his face suddenly became a little ferocious, he gritted his teeth and said: "Traitor, villain, I am so blind that I would choose to believe Qin Hui and others." rat."

"Immediately arrest Qin Hui's family members and bring them to trial by the three courts."

As Zhao Gou said, he did not forget to deliberately add a sentence, saying: "Severe punishment."

"Yes."

Hearing this, Xiao Huangmen on duty hurriedly bowed to receive the decree, exited the hall as if fleeing, and went to the Sanfa Division to deliver the decree on Zhao Gou's behalf.

Zhao Gou stood up from the dragon chair with a tired face, looked at Zhang Jun who kept his head down and said nothing, sighed helplessly, then staggered down the jade steps, and walked in front of Zhang Jun, Holding Zhang Jun's hand tightly, he said, "Get ready to fight the rebels immediately."

Zhao Gou patted the back of Zhang Jun's hand lightly, and said: "Aiqing just leads the army to retreat from the enemy. After this battle, I will definitely reward you a lot."

"The minister obeys the order."

Zhang Jun nodded heavily, looked at Zhao Gou with a sincere face, and expressed his loyalty in public: "As long as the last general is still alive, he will never let the rebels easily climb to the top of Lin'an City."

"it is good."

Zhao Gou nodded in satisfaction, and said: "Preach my will, open the treasury, reward the three armies, kill the general and capture the flag, reward a thousand gold, seal ten thousand households, and capture the leader of the thief, crown the king."

"The wounded are given preferential treatment, and the dead are rewarded with thousands of coins."

In order to be able to successfully defeat Liu Bian's army, Zhao Gou spent a lot of money this time.

Hearing this, Zhang Jun was immediately overjoyed, and said: "The last general, on behalf of the whole army, would like to thank the officials for their compassion."

Hearing this, Zhao Gou waved his hand to Zhang Jun with a smile, and said, "Hurry up and reward the three armies, and you must convey my will to every son of the Song Dynasty."

"Yes."

Zhang Jun retreated in response.

Looking at the back of Zhang Jun gradually going away, Zhao Gou's face gradually darkened, thinking of Qin Hui's betrayal of the master, he also became suspicious in the depths of his heart.

Zhao Gou looked gloomyly at the minister's right servant who shot Wan Qixi, and said: "Take Zhang Jun's family members to the palace immediately, so as not to spoil the calculations of the little ones. Being distracted while fighting the rebels on the front line is not worth the loss."

Hearing the words, Wan Qixie trembled in his heart, nodded silently, and then retreated slowly.

Not long after Zhang Jun left the palace, he heard the news that his family members were taken into the palace from other people. He nodded calmly on the surface, but in his heart he felt very dissatisfied with Zhao Gou's behavior.

"I waited on the front line and worked my life for the officials, but the officials were so afraid of me. What's the reason?"

The person who spoke was Zhang Bao, who was the doctor of Gongwei at that time, and he was the younger brother of Zhang Jun's mother and compatriot.

Hearing this, Zhang Jun squinted his eyes, looked around for a week, and saw that there was no one around, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't talk nonsense, be careful that the walls have ears."

"Humph."

Zhang Bao snorted heavily, and said: "Today, I'm just someone with great aspirations and talents, how can I stand shoulder to shoulder with the officials? In my opinion, it's better to demote the officials as soon as possible, and then maybe I can get a half-official from the officials." It’s not too late for this matter, if you are captured by the officials, then I’m afraid you won’t even be able to drink hot soup.”

The official Zhang Bao said was Liu Bian who was raising troops in Ezhou, and his attitude was also the attitude of most officials in the DPRK and China.

Hearing this, Zhang Jun couldn't help frowning, and said: "If you surrender without a fight, you will inevitably be looked down upon by others. If you can win for a while, and then surrender with your troops, then the officials will definitely treat me differently." .”

Hearing this, Zhang Bao nodded in agreement, and said, "What brother said is very true."

Three days later.

Liu Bian led his army to station in Ezhou for three days. After the content of the appeal against thieves gradually fermented in the Song Dynasty, Liu Bian led his army again and headed straight for Lin'an.

Wherever the army passed by, all the prefectures and counties surrendered. Liu Bian ordered Xu Da to station 3000 to [-] troops in several important towns, and initially controlled the prefectures in his own hands. After Lin'an was conquered, he would re-appoint officials .

The army arrived at Lin'an City unimpeded all the way. Looking at the high and deep Lin'an City, Liu Bian couldn't help frowning, looked sideways at Xu Da and Li Shanchang, and said, "Lin'an City has undergone dozens of repairs. Afterwards, the height of the city has reached more than five feet, if we attack by force, it may bring huge casualties to our soldiers, I wonder if you two have a plan to break the city?"

Hearing this, Xu Da silently nodded to Li Shanchang.

Seeing this, Li Shanchang smiled slightly, then bowed to Liu Bian, and went straight to the point in a concise and concise way: "Qin Xianggong bluntly said that today he is an unfaithful and unfilial person in his letter to seek thieves. The form explained it, but in the face of my tens of thousands of troops, no matter how gorgeous the rhetoric is, it will inevitably seem a little pale. Now that the officials have led the army to the city, it is better to give today a chance to practice it and let him use practical actions. The world proves that it is not unfaithful and unfilial."

Liu Bian was startled when he heard the words, and after only a moment of contemplation, he stretched out his hand and nodded to Li Shanchang with a smirk on his face, and said with a smile: "You are really evil."

As Liu Bian spoke, he turned his head to look at Yuwen Chengdu, and said, "Push the Emperor's Zi Palace to the bottom of the city, shout to the top of the city, let Lao Jiu get out of the city, and lead all civil and military officials to pay homage to the Supreme Emperor."
