Biography of the traitorous officials who dominated the Song Dynasty

Chapter 174 Hualien Cult Leader Li Qingqiu
Princess Kang Xing Bingyi saw Zhao Gou suddenly change his appearance. She was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said nothing more.

Such a Zhao Gou made Count Ying very surprised.

After a while, Earl Ying stood up, bowed to Zhao Gou, and said seriously: "Kang Kang, what you said to Wei Chen today, Wei Chen will keep everything in mind."

"You can rest assured that Wei Chen will definitely take care of these things, and they will all rot in his stomach."

Zhao Gou raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly at Earl Ying to express his relief.

After Earl Ying left Prince Kang's Mansion, the different face of Zhao Gou just now echoed over and over in his mind.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. When it came to the elements of being a ruler, the most important thing was actually being ruthless enough.

It was obvious that Emperor Huizong was not suitable as a ruler.

This is not the case with Zhao Gou. He is naturally qualified for the role of ruler.

Earl Ying thought this way as he returned to his house.

He took out the military talisman, and then gave Yue Fei and Han Shizhong patient instructions.

After all, Yue Fei and Han Shizhong were Zhao Gou's designated leaders from the bottom of his heart to assassinate Tong Guan, so Earl Ying was bound to tell them Zhao Gou's plan.

After hearing this, the two of them were greatly surprised.

You know, Tong Guan has been in power in the Song Dynasty for a long time.

Because of Emperor Huizong's favor and trust, he had already developed a pair of changeable hands.

Let’s not mention too much for now, anyway, in Bianliang City, Tong Guan can intervene in everything.

Tong Guan's mansion is located in the Kowloon Long Street area of ​​the inner city of Bianliang, and is surrounded by many dignitaries.

Before he became powerful, he was just an eunuch in the imperial kitchen, so he was not qualified to live in Kowloon Long Street.

After he gained power, he originally wanted to live next to Cai Jing's Taishi Mansion.

At that time, his close confidants reminded him that although he and Cai Jing had the same official position now, they had different backgrounds after all.

Cai Jing studied hard for ten years, but he was chosen second by Emperor Zhezong, so what does Tong Guan mean?
In this way, Tong Guan gave up the idea of ​​living next to Cai Jing's Taishi Mansion.

In other words, ever since Tong Guan was named the Grand Marshal of the World's Armed Forces by Emperor Huizong, Tong Guan began to intensify his revenge on those lowly days.

Just as a concubine, Tong Guan married 26 people.

Among them are many darlings of prefects from various places.

Day after day, year after year, Tong Guan and other members of the Six Thieves searched for people's wealth and wealth.

The whole world has been devastated and people are filled with resentment.

On this day, he got up as usual and went to the mirror to put on his beard.

He asked casually to his entourage: "Do you have any clues about the Hualien Sect at the moment?"

The attendant shook his head and said: "It hasn't happened until now. Now people in Bianliang City are panicking."

"Since this morning, there are rumors in the city that the Hualien Sect is committing crimes in Bianliang City, and most of them are committed by its leader Li Qingqiu himself."

Tong Guanzheng was sticking the two fake beards on the right to his face, and when he heard the word "Li Qingqiu" from his followers, he was shocked.

Turning his head, he looked at his entourage and asked, "Since the rumors have begun to spread in the city, has anyone really seen Li Qingqiu, the leader of the Hualien Sect, in the city?"

The attendant frowned and thought hard.

After a while, he shook his head and said: "That's not true, it's just that the news in the city has been too strong in the past two days!"

Tong Guan's left thumb, index finger, and middle finger pinched a patch of beard tightly.

Wuzi gritted his teeth and said, "Could it be that the Hualien Sect really has magical powers? I, the mighty Song Dynasty general, turned Bianliang City inside and out, but I couldn't see even a single figure of the Hualien Sect members!"

"It's really not going well. Please tell me to go down and quickly mobilize 38 people from the house and let me go out and search carefully!" The attendant responded quickly and ran out quickly.

The more Tong Guan thought about it, the angrier he became. He was stunned in place for a long time, and then he gradually came back to his senses.

He muttered words: "Li Qingqiu, Li Qingqiu..."

The leader of the Hualien Sect, Li Qingqiu, seemed to be an important symbol of the Hualien Sect when it was at its peak.

There is a widespread rumor in the world: If you have never seen Li Qingqiu in your lifetime, it will be in vain to live a thousand years in the world of mortals.

Not to mention anything else, this sentence alone is enough to explain the status of Hualien Sect leader Li Qingqiu in the world.

Everyone in the world knows that the Hualien Sect is a reactionary organization within the Song Dynasty.

For many years, the foundation of the religion has always been to overthrow the Zhao royal family.

Since the Hualien Sect is like this, and the leader Li Qingqiu has gained such a great reputation, it is enough to see that people in the world are filled with anger towards this regime of the Zhao royal family.

At this time, a whole day and night had passed since the Hualien Sect suddenly carried out several major assassinations of imperial officials in Bianliang City.

The people in Bianliang City are all clamoring in private: The Song Dynasty is about to change, and the leader of the Hualien Sect, Li Qingqiu, has returned to the rivers and lakes.

There are also many people who are depressed in life and deliberately publicize this matter.

From elders aged seven or eighty to children aged seven or eight, almost all of them have kept in mind the words of praise from Hualien Sect leader Li Qingqiu.

"If a person has not seen Li Qingqiu in his lifetime, it will be in vain to live a thousand years in the world of mortals."

But who exactly is Li Qingqiu? Is he a man or a woman?

As well as what he looks like, whether he is tall, short, fat or thin, no one in the world knows.

One day and one night passed by in the blink of an eye.

The officials in Bianliang City did not investigate even the slightest clue about the Hualien Sect.

The members of the Hualien Sect seemed to have become invisible, making no sound.

It really made the officials in Bianliang City suffer to death!

Like this, there was no words for two days in a row.

Time went all the way to the third day when Zhao Gou and Count Ying met in Prince Kang's Mansion.

Early in the morning, Zhao Gou led the crowd directly to Tong Guan's mansion.

Zhao Gou, Han Shizhong and Yue Fei were sitting astride their horses, looking at the tightly closed gate of the mansion.

Zhao Gou faced Tong Guan's personal entourage who was standing at the door and said straight to the point: "I have been ordered to capture the rebellious traitor Tong Guan. Please open the door as soon as possible!"

Seeing this scene, Tong Guan's personal attendant was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

Cold sweat dripped down from the top of his head. He stared blankly at Zhao Gou who was riding on his horse, and said with dumbfounded eyes: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, what on earth do you mean and why is this so?"

Zhao Gou didn't bother to talk nonsense with the people in Tong Guan's mansion, and immediately ordered his guards to break open the door of Tong Guan's mansion.

As soon as the gate was opened by the guards, Zhao Gou saw in the courtyard, the soldiers of Tong Guan's Mansion, neatly dressed in armor, stood there in preparation.

One by one, they were holding steel knives and spears.

Tong Guan, dressed in green, stood in the middle.

Tong Guan put his hands behind his back, smiled calmly at Zhao Gou and asked, "Prince Kang, what do you mean by this?"

"By order? I would like to ask, but whose order are you following?"
