Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 239

When Zhao Huan's driver arrived at Chenqiaoyi, Zhao Huan was very relieved that he didn't see the officials who were welcoming him.

My words are getting more and more useful.

Zong Ze and others led [-] forbidden troops to Bianjing to take over the city defense.

After all, there are 14 Eight Sects guarding the city of Yubian. It would be interesting if Li Gang and the Eight Sects gave him a big surprise.

Zong Ze took over the city defense and arsenal very quickly. Under the leadership of Zhu Xiaosun, the Imperial Army took the lead in handing over the Right Fish Talisman.

Of course, Zong Ze also checked the various armaments of the forbidden army in detail, knowing that these trash-like forbidden army had no possibility of threatening the officials at all, so he began to take over the city defense work of the four-walled defense.

Bianjing did not set up more garrisons, and the city defense army was in charge of the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army. After the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army was dispersed by Zhao Huan at the beginning, it has not been able to restore its establishment.

Then came the takeover of the arsenal and the city defense of Miyagi. Shen Cong was in charge of this part. Cheng Chu led [-] relatives and officials out of Miyagi, and Shen Cong took over the city defense.

Since then, Zhao Huan's journey back to Beijing has been smooth.

Zhao Huan frowned and looked in the direction of Bianjing. Didn't he already expressly forbid him to greet him?Why is there a large area kneeling outside the city gate?

It wasn't until he saw Zongze that Zhao Huan realized that these were the soldiers of the Eight Guards. When they participated in the march to Bianjing, they were in a state of panic all day long.

Zhao Huan ignored them and let them kneel outside the city.

Even if there is no intention of rebellion, there is a reality of rebellion. Zhao Huan did not kill the whole family, which is already a manifestation of benevolence and righteousness. Up to now, the marriage officer is still fighting bloody battles in Pingzhou, and the date of return is uncertain.

When Zhao Huan entered the city gate, he thought he had entered the wrong city.

The streets of Bianjing were clean, without a single person. If it wasn't for the soldiers of Yongding standing on both sides of the imperial street, he would have thought that he had entered Datong Mansion, not Bianjing City.

"What's going on? Zong Shaoqing?" Zhao Huan asked.

Zong Ze wiped off his sweat and said, "Officials, this is all arranged by Li Dazai. The city of Bianjing has just experienced chaos, and the people involved in the case have not been brought to justice. If we rashly arrange for the common people to greet us, there may be trouble."

Zhao Huan nodded. It is not surprising that Li Gang is careful and cautious in his work.

"Let's go." Zhao Huan stood in front of the Great Song Palace, the city gate was open, and on both sides of the Daqing Hall stood the pro-officials, and behind the pro-cong officials, all the officials sat on the floor.

The Song Dynasty was not happy to kneel and salute. Li Gang knew that it was an official's family when he saw the bright red crown at the gate of the palace.

"Welcome Your Majesty back to Beijing!" Li Gang's voice sounded, and the sound of mountains and seas was like a wave, converging into a sound wave, mixed with the sound of horns, drums and chimes.

Zhao Huan was not nervous this time.

I am worthy of such a mountain and sea drinking like you!This is the respect I deserve!
He walked forward step by step, with his head held high, without any panic at all.Step by step, he walked to the Daqing Hall and came to Li Gang.

"Li Dazai, you have worked hard." Zhao Huan said as he helped Li Dazai up from the ground.

Li Gang suddenly knelt down and said, "I am a capital offender. Entering the palace on a rainy night to threaten the inner palace, and then imitating Sima Yi's past, I deserve death."

Zhao Huan wanted to pull Li Gang up, but he couldn't pull him up no matter what, and his strength was quite strong.

"I forgive you for your innocence." Zhao Huan was convinced of Li Gang, and he was also a sharp-edged person, very stubborn.

Li Gang was still kneeling on the ground, Zhao Huan shook his head and said, "Get up."

This Li Gang just got up from the ground, he looked at the heroic new emperor, and secretly sighed that the revival of the Song Dynasty is just around the corner!

"During this period of time, Li Dazai has been wronged. A group of people in court can't help Dazai. The queen is a cowardly person, and she will only add to your troubles. If Li Dazai hadn't turned the tide, I would still be eating sand in Datong Mansion. .What is the crime? Not guilty, not guilty." Zhao Huan said with a smile.

He turned around and looked at the civil and military officials. Many people changed inside, all with young faces. Zhao Huan also saw Chen Dong and Ouyang Che sitting at the end.

Ouyang Che is a well-mannered person, he looks ahead and is meticulous, while Chen Dong is much bolder, he keeps standing up and looking at Zhao Huan who is standing in the Daqing Hall.

"A new atmosphere! Li Dazai! You really lived up to my expectations!" Zhao Huan was most moved by the changes in the Great Song Dynasty.

When he left, the average loyalty of the court ministers was only 35 points, and the average loyalty to Song Dynasty was only about 50 points.

But now, most of the courtiers' loyalty to him is above 70 points, and the loyalty to Da Song is at the level of 90 points.

This Li Gang is very knowledgeable, and many of them are talents recorded as teachers and talents!
"Officials, please spare the lives of the people in Bianjing." Li Gang bowed his head again and said.

"Huh? Are you talking about the relatives of those palace people? Those are absolutely unforgivable people." Zhao Huan rejected the proposal.

Li Gang wiped the sweat off his brow, as if the officials didn't know what he was talking about.

"The relatives of those palace people will be dealt with by the barbarians. There is no doubt about it. Even if the officials want to pardon, it will not happen. Because they are all buried now." Li Gang said, he was not talking about those people.

"What kind of Bianjing people are those?" Zhao Huan asked puzzled.

Li Gang pointed to the residents of Bianjing city outside the palace city and said: "According to the past rules, the people of Bianjing city will be exiled for three thousand miles."

"all?"

"All."

"What are the rules in the past?" Zhao Huan asked in surprise, is there such a rule?
Li Gang replied: "The law of the ancestors. The former Emperor Taizong conquered and returned it. When he returned to Beijing..."

Zhao Huan frowned and asked, "Didn't you come back in a big defeat?"

Li Gang looked left and right and said, "Conquering conquers is repayment, conquering conquers is repayment. These are not the words of an old official, but the words of Emperor Taizong's prime minister, Lu Duan."

"Then Emperor Taizong's ancestral law is to expel the people of Bianjing?" Zhao Huan asked puzzled.

What does this royal battle for the throne have to do with the people of Bianjing?
"The people of Bianjing did not oppose it desperately. They repay the Lord with death. The crime deserves ten thousand deaths. Emperor Taizong benevolently exiled him for three thousand miles." Li Gang said.

"Then you don't have to obey it. The people of Bianjing are innocent. If you resist to the death, whose head will fall off without a big scar? If the people don't resist to the death, it is not the crime of the people. This will be abolished in the future. What is it?" Zhao Huan He shook his head and said.

Emperor Taizong lost the battle, and the prime minister wanted to make Xiang Wang Yuan Kan the new emperor. It was you, Zhao Guangyi, who failed to control the courtiers, and blamed the people for not giving their lives to you?

What kind of strange ancestral law is this?

"I have one more request, what should I do with the soldiers of the Eight Sects outside the city? Please let the officials spare their lives. They don't know what the Eight Sects are doing." Li Gang asked again.

Zhao Huan said angrily: "I don't know? You can say you don't know when you set off from each army road, but don't you know when you go to Cizhou? Don't you know when you go to Xiangzhou? You don't know them after marching for a month. What to do? Are they so stupid?"

"They are indeed so stupid." Li Gang replied truthfully.
