I am Da Song

Chapter 131
Regarding the possible rebellion in Nanjing, the imperial court did not keep any paper documents, and only tacitly announced it at the highest level.Therefore, Li Gang only read the past records and did not know the specific situation in Nanjing.

Seeing Zhang Shuye's solemn expression, he had to ask, "What's wrong with Nanjing?"

Zhang Shuye introduced: "Nanjing seems to have a tendency to rebel. Hebei Hedong Xuanfu envoy Fan Ne and Beidao Governor Zhao Ye, when the country is in crisis, stand still and watch from the sidelines, which is a debt to the country. Willing to go to Beijing."

"Imprison the censor?" Li Gang said in a harsh tone, "How can there be any rebellious tendency? This is a rebellion with conclusive evidence! The imperial court should be decisive and order Nanjing soldiers to hunt down thieves and serve the country."

Zhang Shuye is helpless, he is the prime minister!How could Li Gang, the prime minister and civil servant, be hotter and stronger than himself?
"Li Xianggong, please be safe and don't be impatient. It has only been two days since the court confirmed that there was a rebellion in Nanjing. The Imperial City Secretary has been sent to contact the righteous soldiers in the army. After the siege was lifted, the Shenwu Youjun also quickly assembled soldiers. Time has mobilized 1 troops, and tomorrow after Ce Xun will prepare to go out of Beijing to suppress the rebellion."

Hearing this, Li Gang calmed down a little. It's only been two days, and he really can't criticize the court for going faster.The Shenwu Youjun fought a bloody battle with the Jinren, with heavy casualties, a large number of establishments were almost wiped out, and reorganization would take a lot of time.

Soon Li Gang also thought of the key question, and asked: "How can Nanjing have the confidence to be an enemy of the imperial court? The court of the Great Song Dynasty is the aspiration of the people and the destiny. Fan Zhixu has the elite of the Western Army, and he has 20 cavalry. Don’t dare to rebel. Conspiring against Nanjing is bound to lead to death. The ministers in Nanjing can’t even see this clearly.”

Zhao Huan looked solemn, and said: "I was also puzzled before, but this time the scholar-officials escaped, so I have some clues."

Zhang Shuye agreed: "There must be a reason for a large number of officials and scholar-bureaucrats to flee to the east and west of Beijing. There must be something in Nanjing that attracts these corrupt scholar-bureaucrats."

This can only be the reason.

Li Gang was decisive, and said: "Instead of waiting here to think wildly, it is better to arrest a group of scholar-bureaucrats for interrogation. Since they fled to Nanjing, they must have their own plans."

Cut the mess with a sharp knife.Zhao Huan liked this idea, so he ordered Wu Ge, the commander of the Imperial City Division, "I will issue an edict to you to arrest a group of escaped officials immediately. The Imperial City Division will set up a prison to interrogate these people personally!"

Edict!

Zhao Huan also handed over the frightening privilege of Jin Yiwei to the Imperial City Secretary.It's time to kill the pride of scholar-bureaucrats with the Imperial City Secretary.

The scholar-bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty were given too many privileges and preferential treatment by the Zhao family, and they were unrestrained, so that they became one of the four evils of the Song Dynasty.

Without encouragement, they will probably continue to degenerate like this, and it will be difficult for them to take on great responsibilities.

Don't look at the city of Tokyo after the war and it is very dilapidated.However, the supplies that the Song court could dispatch were unmatched by any force in the Central Plains.

Not only a large amount of gold, silver and cloth were seized, but also more than 4 war horses.

The Imperial City Division can form a large number of cavalry, and all of them are elite light cavalry with hand crossbows.Various cavalry tactics of chasing, chasing and intercepting can be easily realized, and the scholar-bureaucrats have no ability to resist. More than 200 officials from the imperial city rode out of the city on horseback, and in the middle of the night, they caught two escaped Tokyo scholar-bureaucrats along the Bian River.

A group of pampered corrupt elements can't stand torture.The Imperial City Secretary quickly pried their mouths open. After learning the result, Wu Ge turned pale with fright.Return to the palace as soon as possible to reply the result to Zhao Huan.

It was almost dawn at this time, and the loud and clear orders of the soldiers could already be heard in the city. Groups of soldiers were running into the city, lining up in the open space of the city, preparing to celebrate today's award ceremony.

Zhao Huan, Li Gang, and Zhang Shuye also lost sleepiness, and simply arranged the procedures and etiquette for today's celebration.

When Wu Ge returned, a group of maids and servants were surrounding Zhao Huan to dress up.Today is the army's celebration. At Zhao Huan's insistence, he also put on a bright red military uniform, ready to put on his armor and sword, and reward the soldiers with honors.

Seeing Wu Ge's solemn expression, Zhao Huan waved his hand to dismiss all the maids and servants, and asked, "What's the result of the interrogation?"

At this time, there were already a few more ministers in the palace, besides Zhang Shuye and Li Gang, Yushi Zhongcheng Qin Hui also arrived early with the palace attendant Yushi who was in charge of court etiquette.There is also the nominal supreme prime minister of the country, right minister Sun Fu, who also woke up early to go to the palace to coordinate the process.

Some of these people stay up all night, and some wake up before dawn. It can be said that they wear the stars and wear the moon, and work hard for this country.

But the news brought by Wu Ge, the scholar-bureaucrats are obviously not worthy of the court's painstaking efforts.

"Reporting to the official family, I have already checked it out. According to the prisoner, Nanjing... is planning to set up another imperial court." Wu Ge confessed bravely.

"What? Set up another court?"

"Arrogance! What qualifications do they have to set up another court!"

"They're crazy! This world belongs to Song Dynasty. How can they change the world so easily!"

Zhao Huan was ridiculed angrily, and the literati and bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty were so grandiosely running around under the eyes of the court.No wonder the scholars and officials in Gyeonggi wanted to flee, because they felt that Zhao Huan had offended their interests and wanted to abandon the Song Dynasty and support a new dynasty.

Zhao Huan asked with a murderous look, "I would like to know which traitorous minister these literati want to support as king, is it Fan Na or Zhao Ye? Which traitor dares to come and test whether my blade is sharp?"

Wu Ge's whole body was cold, and his head was covered with cold sweat. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's King Kang...afterwards."

As soon as the voice fell, the palace instantly felt like falling into an ice cave, and needles could be heard falling.

Zhao Huan's murderous intent seemed to condense into substance, and he said solemnly: "I see, these scholar-bureaucrats don't want to change the dynasty, they want to establish a new king!"

No wonder the court couldn't find Zhao Gou. It turned out that he had fled to Nanjing.Fearing that they would be liquidated, these three rats who lived on the sidelines during times of national calamity ended up colluding together and mingling together.

And it was the scholar-bureaucrat class of the Song Dynasty who contributed to the flames in this process!Since Zhao Huan violated their privileges, they will support another Prince Zhao who can represent their interests in the south.

And the reasons are all ready-made, the emperor is stupid, and his virtue is not worthy, which leads to the invasion of the Jin people, the country's ruins, and the world's lingering.Song Dezhong declines, and the heroes boil.

The Ninth Prince, Zhao Gou, is gifted in martial arts, physically capable and spiritually strong, endowed with pure essence of chastity and harmony, understands the wonderful principles of Huang Zhong, and has the talents of Tao Yasheng.Under the support of the wise scholars and bureaucrats, rebuild the imperial court and rebuild the whole world!Let the country survive, the spirit of fire will be more brilliant, and the virtues will be the same as before.

"What a class of scholar-bureaucrats!" Zhao Huan looked sternly, looked at the ministers around him, and said calmly: "Qing and others also think that I am not worthy to rule the world?"

All the people in the hall knelt down on the ground, Qin Hui said firmly: "I dare not think so."

"Don't dare. It's not that I don't want to." Zhao Huan mocked.

Obviously, even the ministers in the house felt that compared to Zhao Huan's bloody slaughter, the new court formed by Zhao Gou was better, and it was more like a paradise for scholar-bureaucrats.You can rest assured of corruption, lie down wantonly, and dream of dying, without worrying about being cleaned up by the iron blood of the officials.

But Zhao Huan suddenly smiled and said, "I really appreciate Qing and others' candor. If Qing and others reply that they don't have such thoughts, I will be really disappointed."

Qin Hui took a deep breath, knowing that he had saved his life.What he said just now is really what Qin Hui said most instinctively.

It's because I really don't dare, not because I don't want to.Of course, Qin Hui also wants to indulge and enjoy the privilege forever.You can sleep peacefully for the rest of your life.

But the senior officials of the Tokyo imperial court have seen the demeanor of the Shenwu Youjun loyal and righteous, shining the sun and the moon, and majestic mountains and rivers.There will never be a trace of rebellious courage!

That is a strong iron-blooded army that is absolutely loyal to the government.Their unparalleled combat power can guarantee that the officials will realize all the ambitions of the Iron and Blood Song Dynasty.

Qin Hui could even imagine how terrified and desperate the rebels in Nanjing, who were wantonly driven out by the Jin people, would be when they encountered this unparalleled and powerful army on the battlefield.

Fan Na, Zhao Ye, and the Ninth Prince Zhao Gou chose the most tragic path to death this time.

Zhao Huan also knew that in this troubled world, there would be many evil spirits rampant, and many rebellious officials and thieves would ambitiously rule one side.

But Zhao Huan never expected that the first people who jumped out to oppose him were the scholar-official class and Zhao Gou.

The famous joke made by the dumb frog in later generations, the Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty coexisted in the world, and the North and the South were opposed, actually appeared in front of my eyes.

Facing the dawn, Zhao Huan put on his armor and a sharp blade, and said firmly, "Follow me to the grand ceremony, and reward the army with honors. Then I personally swear to go out to fight, and crush these rebels with the power of thunder!"
