Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 352 The Defense of Tokyo 40
Zhang Qiyuan did not show any weakness, and said loudly: "Our army was besieged in the first night attack, and the casualties were almost the same as those of the captives. King Qin's army is constantly increasing. As long as he goes to battle every day, he can drag the captives to death. Why bother to make peace with them? .”

Wang Xiu looked at Zhang Qiyuan again, and there was a little appreciation in his eyes. It seemed that this guy was also a bit bloody, and he advocated a tough attitude towards Jurchen.Well, it is also a good choice. The temporary alliance against Geng Nanzhong does not violate the heart.

Seeing Zhang Qiyuan's toughness, Geng Nanzhong became more and more annoyed. He secretly scolded Zhang Qiyuan as a bastard. No matter how hard they fight, they are all former officials of the Eastern Palace. Said: "You don't know the art of war, what kind of war are you talking about?"

Zhang Qiyuan's face changed, it was definitely a naked humiliation. It is true that the ministers of the court were against each other, but they were all literati.

"Officials." The servant Wang Xiaojie stepped inside quickly, with a look of panic on his face, and said anxiously: "Outside, the unruly people are making trouble, blaming Li Gang for summoning Li Gang, and being too slow in cultivating teachers, so they actually killed Zhu Gongzhi, along with more than [-] others. The servants were beaten to death together, disemboweled and hung up, saying that it was the official's will to kill the eunuch."

"What, you're so courageous, it's not bad, if you want to rebel." Zhao Huan was furious, killing eunuchs without authorization, and falsely preaching the imperial decree, which has already violated his bottom line!Suddenly there was a murderous thought.

"Isn't this a rebellion? Your Majesty should transfer the guards of the three yamen and the soldiers in front of the hall to disperse those unruly people." Geng Nanzhong was also shocked and angry, and decided to make an example.

"Absolutely not."

Everyone's eyes were on Wang Xiu, and it was not wise to say no at this time, while still in the emperor's wrath. Even Zhang Qiyuan twitched his mouth and looked at Wang Xiu in disbelief.

"Why did the Qing family say no?" Zhao Heng's face was not good, he stared at Wang Xiu, and he would not hesitate to use thunderous means if he was wrong.

Wang Xiu was not afraid, and said in a clear voice: "Your Majesty, I see that the people of Donghuamen can't wait any longer, and it is inevitable that eunuchs will provoke them. Once the palace officials are called to suppress them, the people have to fight with the army for self-protection. That's really true." There is going to be chaos. The captives outside the city are staring at each other, how can there be more chaos in the city? The people just want to see Li and Zhong, why don't they send the envoys to detour and fast horses to proclaim the edict, and they must not be taken advantage of by the villains."

Suppression is by no means the best policy. Even Li Bangyan, the Dazai who suffered two bricks, also believes that it is best not to use force to suppress it. Xiu Jianyan said that it was just support from the belly, they were not yet at the level of fighting against the wind.

Geng Nanzhong glared at Wang Xiu, and said sharply: "At this moment, do you still care about the outside of the city? Disaster caused Xiao Qiang."

"To appease the people, kill the leader of the rioters, and the riot will subside naturally. Once the imperial army is dispatched, the situation will be out of control." Wang Xiu retorted extremely resolutely, and her methods were also very vicious.

"Wang Xiaojie, hurry up and proclaim Li Gang, and cultivate the teacher's way to Donghua Gate." Zhao Heng's face changed a few times, and finally he suppressed the anger in his heart. He also agreed with Wang Xiu's idea that suppressing is not the best policy, so then Kill the peacock.

Seeing this, Wang Xiu immediately said: "Your Majesty, please Your Majesty to issue an imperial edict, and I will accompany Mr. Geng to Donghua Gate to appease the people so as not to cause chaos."

"What Wang Qing said is true, draw up an order quickly, and you will go with Zhang Qing's family." Zhao Huan didn't think much about it, as long as he could quell the riot, he would follow through on everything.

When Wang Xiu, Geng Nanzhong, Wang Zongyi and his party left the Donghua Gate, they saw crowds of people in great agitation, and the guards of the class retreated to the palace city, each with their bows and arrows, their faces solemn, as if they were facing an enemy. atmosphere.

"It's just a group of rioters. The gate of the palace is not closed yet, so it's easy to defend." As soon as the defense was opened, Geng Nanzhong, Wang Xiu, and Zhang Qiyuan came out under the protection of a team of recruiting squads.Looking at the corpse hanging from the wooden pole not far away, Geng Nanzhong trembled with anger, and ordered the door to be closed quickly.

Wang Xiu also frowned slightly, secretly blaming the common people for acting recklessly, even killing the servant at the palace gate, anyone who saw it would be furious.What are Chen Dong and Ouyang Che doing? Unable to control the situation, he turned his head to Wang Zong who came out and said: "Taiwei, don't close the door, use arrow squads to form a defensive line. Once the door is closed, the people will think that the court has lost faith." , the situation may be even more difficult to clean up."

Wang Zonglian looked at Wang Xiu in astonishment, curled his lips and said nothing, but his expression was very hesitant.

Geng Nanzhong glared at Wang Xiu, and said sharply: "The tens of thousands of mobs, Zhige won't allow the palace gates to be closed, what's their intention?" These words are poisonous!It must be passed to Zhao Heng's ears, Wang Xiu's answer is not satisfactory, the consequences can be imagined, no matter how you say it, there will be a pimple.

"Outside are His Majesty's subjects, not mobs." Wang Xiu didn't want to think about it, she was tit-for-tat, very bluntly said: "It's just a few cunning rumors and troubles, lest the world will not be chaotic, and the palace gate is opened wide, just to break their rumors. Take ten thousand steps back, there is an archery squad guarding the palace gate, no one can rush in in a short time, and there is time to close the palace gate."

Although Wang Zonglian is a disciple of Gaoliang, he is a general after all, so he understands a little bit. He deeply agrees with Wang Xiu's statement, and nodded: "What Wang Daren said is true."

Geng Nanzhong had nothing to say, he glared at Wang Zongli, but he was helpless, he was Zhao Guan's uncle, the person closest to the emperor, he had to give some face.

"Don't leave the archery class outside the door, just stand by inside the door." Wang Xiu explained.

"This..." Wang Zonglian was hesitant. In case of any change, the archery class is enough to delay the time, but it has to be outside, and it may be difficult to react in time when withdrawing into the door. If there is a change, it will be impossible to guard against it. Although he is a noble relative I can't afford to suffer!
"What if the unscrupulous people rebel and take the Donghua Gate, how can we do it?" Geng Nanzhong glared at Wang Xiu with lingering fear.

Wang Xiu glanced at Geng Nanzhong, and said playfully: "Xianggong is a scholar, how can he not know that ordinary people only respect scholars, and the officials know that there are tens of thousands of people here, who dare to raise their arms and attack the palace? Chen Dong, Ouyang Che? I know It is true that scholars serve their country, but I have never heard of scholars rebelling."

Zhang Qiyuan smiled, willing to watch Geng Nanzhong suffer, but he was even more wary of Wang Xiu in his heart, and he hesitated more and more.

Geng Nanzhong was left speechless by Wang Xiu's refutation, gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, and could only endure it, waiting for a chance to retaliate, and said bluntly, "Since Zhige is confident, then it's up to you to decide."

Wang Zonglin was so happy that he let go of it, he hurriedly asked Wu Min and others to withdraw into the palace gate, and hurriedly hid to the side to stop.

Wang Xiu was not afraid of the turbulent crowd, strode up to Chen Dongren, and yelled, "You guys are so bold, how dare you beat and kill the servant at Donghua Gate."
