Biography of the traitorous officials who dominated the Song Dynasty

Chapter 129 The six thieves feel guilty
The "six thieves" were busy from the application time of the day to the Yinpai time of the next day.

A whole night passed, and the tasks in everyone's hands were finally completed.

Everyone was panting from exhaustion and slumped on their chairs, holding handkerchiefs and wiping the sweat from their faces.

Weiyuan Jiedushi Zhu Meng looked at Tong Guan and said: "Master, it's already this hour. Should we leave Youwen Palace and have a glass of wine?"

Tong Guan stood up, stretched, looked at Cai Jing, and asked, "Master Cai, what do you think?"

Cai Jing frowned, looked at the secret edict he had just written in his hand, and said, "I just married No. 30, my concubine, half a month ago."

"We haven't had time to get in touch with her yet. We really don't have time today. You two should go ask Captain Gao."

Tong Guan curled his lips, looked down at himself, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

He quickly turned his head to look at Gao Qiu who was sitting on the side, and asked, "Gao Taiwei, what do you think?"

Gao Qiu leaned on the back of his chair and said breathlessly: "I am almost the same as Grand Master Cai. The current situation is no different from Grand Master Cai. You two should go ask others."

After a while, Zhu Meng looked at Tong Guan and laughed.

Tong Guan frowned and asked: "Zhu Jiedushi, I heard that there seems to be something unusual in your laughter. What does it mean?"

Zhu Meng just chuckled at first, but after Tong Guan asked, it immediately turned into a trembling smile.

Zhu Meng pointed at Tong Guan's face and said with a smile: "Master, come to think of it, every time like this, you regret that you entered the palace so much that your intestines turn blue, right? Haha!"

As the saying goes, you don't expose someone's shortcomings when you curse them, but Zhu Meng's unintentional words could be described as a slap in Tong Guan's face.

Tong Guan became anxious immediately, and jumped up from the chair suddenly.

Grabbing Zhu Xi's collar tightly, he gritted his teeth and said, "Master Zhu Jiedu, you are so bold! Believe it or not, this old man slapped the side of your face like Lin Lingsu today?"

When the other five people saw Tong Guan like this, their hearts tightened, and they quickly stood up to stop Tong Guan.

Li Yan rushed to say: "Master, Zhu Jiedushi had some wine two hours ago. You must not take it to heart."

"We are all officials in the same dynasty and have always been good friends. There is no need to hurt our friendship over such a trivial matter!"

Zhu Meng looked dazed for a while, then became anxious. He pointed at Tong Guan's nose and said sternly: "Eunuch Tong, I advise you to release your hands immediately!"

Tong Guan is most jealous of others calling him "father-in-law", and he doesn't know whether Zhu Xi really drank too much or faked it.

Damn, every word and every word is just poking at the heart!
Tong Guan immediately slapped Zhu Meng hard on the face with a loud slap. This slap directly knocked Zhu Meng to the ground.

Zhu Meng was extremely angry. He had just been pulled up from the ground by Li Yan with all his strength. He immediately used all his strength, clenched his fists, and struck hard at Tong Guan's chest.

Fortunately, Tong Guan escaped in time, otherwise, he would have spurted out a mouthful of blood from his abdomen.

The rest of the people saw the two people facing each other like fire and water, and for a moment they didn't know what to do.

Life and death stop, life and death can not stop.

No matter what they said, neither of them listened.

Just as Tong Guan stretched out his arms, he was ready to hit Zhu Meng's temple.

Cai Jing slapped the table and stood up, roaring: "Stop!" Cai Jing's roar was so loud that his words never stopped in the hall, echoing in all directions.

When Tong Guan and Zhu Meng saw Cai Jing acting like this, they immediately let go of their hands and turned to look at Cai Jing.

Cai Jing put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth in the hall.

On the other hand, he said: "Now that the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom are at war, why don't you think carefully about how we should end this war! Instead, we are drunk here and lose our morals. It is really ridiculous!"

Gao Qiu was stunned for a moment, then cleared his throat, nodded and said: "It is true, the Jin people are like dragons and the horses are like tigers. Our Song Dynasty does not have much chance of winning. If we are defeated, then the Song Dynasty will... "

Before Gao Qiu finished speaking, he heard Cai Jing's voice rising an octave higher.

Cai Jing said anxiously: "That's not what I said!"

Gao Qiu couldn't help feeling a little dazed, and asked in a daze, "Taishi Cai didn't say this, so which one?"

Cai Jing shook his head and sighed, sat back in his chair, and said angrily: "On weekdays, the six of us are solely responsible for recruiting soldiers and horses in the Song Dynasty."

"As you all know, we use the soldiers we recruit for our own purposes and don't train them on weekdays. We just let them busy making money for us!"

"After this war, even if His Majesty favors us and favors us again, I believe he will definitely hold us accountable!"

After Cai Jing finished speaking, the other five people were shocked.

First they looked at each other, and then they quickly lowered their heads.

The other five people actually felt that what Cai Jing said was very reasonable. In the past few years, the government of the Song Dynasty had been controlled by the six of them. Emperor Huizong did not ask about the government affairs every day.

In the past, Emperor Huizong didn't know what the Song army was doing every day, and besides, he really didn't care about it.

But after this battle, Emperor Huizong completely understood what these soldiers recruited every year, every month, and every day were like!
From a craftsman perspective, every soldier is considered top-notch.

But as far as soldiers are concerned, every soldier can be called a defective product, or even a worthless scum.

After a long time, Tong Guan looked outside the door and said: "The Eastern Route Army and the Southern Route Army should have arrived in Longcheng by now. After arriving in Longcheng, I believe that within three hours, they will start the first battle with the Jin Army who is going all the way south." .”

Zhu Meng covered half of his face, which was burning and swollen with pain, and also raised his head to look out the door.

He nodded and said: "It must be so, alas! It would be really unimaginable to end this first battle."

Tong Guan and Zhu Meng walked to the door first, and the other four people followed immediately.

The six people raised their heads together and looked at the sky where dawn had broken.

The dense nebula in the sky seemed to turn into a big net in an instant, covering the six of them silently.

Cai Jing said: "It is said that the Jin army went south from the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun all the way, as if they were entering an uninhabited country. The battle of Longcheng and the battle of Yanshan are really the top priority."

"The territory of our Song Dynasty is like this. If Longcheng and Yanshan are lost, peace-related matters will be put on the agenda."

Gao Qiu, Tong Guan and others nodded slightly and said in unison: "It should be so, it should be so..."
