Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 275 Zhao Ji Returns to Beijing
"This old thief Tong!" Cai Jing took a hit, grabbed a stone and threw it out, and threw it at Tong Guan.

The next day, Zhang Shuye led 4 Yongding troops to Taikang, received the last batch of [-] forbidden troops, and directly equalized the fields to Hebei Road according to the system.

Strictly speaking, they are all rebels and should be killed immediately.

But Zhao Ji just restored the government, not the restoration, and saved the lives of the forbidden army by a single word. After all, if the government is restored, it can still be an excuse. The Supreme Emperor is worried that the new emperor's war in Bianjing will not go well, so he will establish a team for the imperial court to maintain the operation .

If the emperor's title is not restored, then everything is still negotiable.Li Gang dared to intercede for Zhao Ji in front of Zhao Huan because Zhao Ji did not kill himself. If he really proclaimed himself emperor again, it would be extremely interesting.

In this situation, no one can keep him!

"General Zhang Shuye, pay homage to the Supreme Emperor, the Supreme Emperor Antai. There are countless bandits, and the government sent officials to pick up the Supreme Emperor." Zhang Shuye's etiquette is very thoughtful, no matter how Zhao Ji is also the official's father.

Zhao Ji nodded, glanced at Tong Guan, and said to Zhang Shuye: "The [-] imperial troops are entrusted to you. Zhen... my safety is also entrusted to you."

"Please." Zhang Shuye invited the Supreme Emperor out of the station.

The Daqing Hall is now ready for the abdication ceremony, and the Edict of Guilt has begun to be circulated to the world after Zhao Ji used the golden seal.

The edict of abdication has already been circulated once before, so there is no need to circulate it again.

When Zhao Ji arrived at the gate of Bianjing City, the car stopped. Zhao Ji poked his head out and asked loudly, "What's going on? Why did the car stop?"

Zhang Shuye straddled his horse, bowed his head and said: "The officials have prepared a welcome ceremony, and the people of Bianjing are lining the streets on both sides of the Royal Street to welcome the Supreme Emperor back to Beijing."

Zhao Ji's complexion changed several times, and finally he sighed and said, "It's okay, it's okay! Sigh."

With the support of Li Shishi, Zhao Ji got out of the carriage, and Tong Guan supported Zhao Ji with an imperial edict.Said: "Official, please slow down."

Zhao Ji got off the ground and looked at the soldiers standing on the grand city gate. The armored soldiers pointed at the chariots without saying a word.

He said to Tong Guan with some guilty conscience: "Look, I, an unfilial son, dares to let the soldiers shoot their arrows. Is this going to kill me?"

Tong Guan shook his head and said: "The officials are too worried. The crown prince has no such intentions, but just to prevent the refugees from causing chaos."

"Let's go."

Zhao Ji entered the city gate of Bianjing step by step. The gate was about ten steps deep. Zhao Ji frowned and walked into the city of Bianjing step by step. When the light from the city gate shone on Zhao Ji's face, he subconsciously lifted Hands block the hot sun.

After his eyes got used to the strong light, Zhao Ji was startled when he saw the scene in front of him.

The entire Bianjing city was quiet, everyone stood and looked at Zhao Ji, and no one had a word to discuss with the emperor who had run away.

Even some roofs were full of people, no one spoke, just staring at Zhao Ji quietly.

This gaze fell on Zhao Ji like sharp knives.

"The mason emperor is back?" Suddenly a child's voice resounded in the quiet city of Bianjing. Because it was too quiet, the child's voice spread far and far.

Children speak freely.But the words that are often said are the most touching.

"Let's go. Official." Tong Guan helped Zhao Ji, who was already trembling all over, and walked through Yujie step by step. The people of Bianjing hated him, but because he was the former emperor, no one spoke or criticized him. No one is responsible.

But it was this kind of silence that made Zhao Ji as lonely as a concubine. He knew that he, the emperor, had failed.

But this silent protest made him feel unspeakably depressed.

The sound of footsteps resounded on the Imperial Street, and the eyes of the people stopped following the Supreme Emperor entering the palace. Zhao Ji felt that his back was covered in cold sweat. When he entered the palace, he let out a long sigh of relief. .

Those gazes contained hatred, dissatisfaction and disappointment, which made Zhao Ji feel like he was on his back. He knew that in his life, it would be difficult for him to step out of the palace.

Today, the personal servants and the Yongding army are responsible for his safety on the street. The common people are afraid of the weapons in the hands of the soldiers, so they may not do anything.

But if he went out alone, he might be killed by the people of Bianjing City.

The gate of the palace is open, but the people of Bianjing are talking like a frying pan.

The noisy city of Bianjing restored the order of the past, and Zhao Ji stepped into the Daqing Hall step by step. More than [-] officials sat on both sides of the Daqing Hall.

And on a huge copper tripod in the center, cigarettes are rising slowly, ethereal and disorderly.

"King Tong, read it." Zhao Ji let go of Tong Guan's supporting hand, waved his hand, and asked Tong Guan to recite the edict of guilt aloud.

There are not many words in this edict of guilt, but it is enough to calm his life.

"I have been ordered by Haotian to inherit the kindness of my ancestors and place it above scholars and people for more than [-] years. Although I work hard, I still make mistakes. It is really because of my low endowment."

"The way of speech is blocked, and the public is flattered, and the power is favored, and the gluttony is successful. The gentry and the virtuous are trapped in the party membership; the rise and fall of political affairs are tied to the calendar."

"The wealth of the living people is exhausted by taxation, and the strength of the army is exhausted; it is useless to do too much, and extravagance is the trend. The source of profit has been exhausted, and those who seek profit are still seeking it; Sit back and enjoy the wealth."

"The catastrophe has already been seen but I don't understand it, the people complain but I don't know it, and I only pursue my own mistakes, until today, what a regret!"【Note 1】

"In the past, Emperor Yao took the throne of Yu and Shun, and Shun also appointed Yu."

"The fate of heaven is not constant, but there is virtue in it."

"The order of the world is out of order, and it descends to my knees. There is great chaos and fainting. The gangsters are rebellious, and the universe is overthrown."

"But the crown prince, sage Qinming, honors the mirror and the district, benevolently nurtures all living beings, righteousness does not fail, the sound generation is far away, and there is no danger of obscurity. It is different from the same rules. It is decorated with five colors in the Xuanting, and the nine ears will be fragrant. Shepherd in the suburbs. Xiang Wei is clear, the new talisman has been revealed, the prophecy is brilliant, the righteousness of the end is manifested, the spirit is the family, and the Zhaoshu leads."

"Should be ordered by God, among the emperor's poles, give it to one person, only inherit the order of heaven, and grant you the position with respect, and the number is really bowing to you."

"Yuxi! Wang Qiqin obeyed the destiny, followed the precepts, followed the four kingdoms at the end, and used them to protect the heavens! It is reasonable to respect the precepts, and to follow the good wishes of the land, to restore the great fortune to infinity, and to answer the three spirits Hope." [Note 2]

"On the [-]th day of the Lan month in the first year of Jingkang, Daojun Emperor Ji, wrote! Guangyang County Wang Tongguan, Xuan! Crown Prince Huan, Feng!"

Tong Guan's voice was so loud that all the officials in front of the Daqing Palace could hear it very clearly. Many officials shouted loudly: "We only serve the Holy Que!"

Tong Guan accepted the imperial decree, supported Zhao Ji again, and walked to the ancestral hall. He announced the imperial edict, and there are still many procedures to follow. Offering sacrifices to the ancestors is one aspect, and he also needs to go to the Daqing Hall to meet the new emperor Zhao Huan.

Zhao Ying brought a bowl of iced plum soup to the official, and said, "The official, the Supreme Emperor has arrived at the ancestral hall. The official changed his clothes and received the Supreme Emperor in the Daqing Palace?"

"Your plum soup is not bad. It tastes just right. It's a good product to cool off the summer heat. How do you make it?" Zhao Huan tasted it a couple of times. It was sweet and sour, and it tastes good in this summer.

"The old minister has been busy all morning, so the taste should be very authentic."

"Rinse the dark plums, hawthorns, and licorice. After soaking for half an hour, take them out and wash them. Then boil them on high heat, simmer on low heat for half an hour, add rock sugar for about a quarter of an hour, and start the pot."

"After the cold pot, strain it on rice paper. Put it in the ice fryer and refrigerate it for almost an hour before serving it out. The taste is just right, and the officials like it. I'm going to serve some bowls to the officials." Zhao Ying smiled. He said that if the officials are happy, that is the greatest joy.

"Forget it, let's change into court clothes. I won't kill him, and I can't pretend to be a filial son, but it's always okay to see each other." Zhao Huan put down the bowl, stood up, changed his clothes, and walked into the Daqing Palace .

All the officials also walked from outside the hall to the inside of the hall, waiting for the Supreme Emperor to finish sacrificing their ancestors, and then return to the Daqing Hall to pay homage to the official family.

As for the three-push drama, Zhao Huan canceled it because he was too lazy to argue with Zhao Ji.

With that skill, approving two letters is better than grinding teeth with Zhao Ji.

Zhao Huan walked halfway, and suddenly stopped and said to Zhao Ying: "Gen Yue Palace is ready to stop. More maids, let the Chen family bring more skinny horses to serve the Supreme Emperor."

"The old minister knows." Zhao Ying nodded and shook her head again. Why did this foolish person suddenly ask about Gen Yue Palace?

At this time, Zhao Huan made up his mind to support Zhao Ji.

That's why Genyue Palace was mentioned.

"The Supreme Emperor has arrived." The escort, Wei Chengen, shouted loudly.

Tong Guan helped the Supreme Emperor into the Daqing Palace, and walked step by step to Yuxia.

Zhao Huan looked at Zhao Ji with interest. This was the second time he saw Zhao Ji. The first time, Zhao Ji brought two very promising sons with him.

One is the champion Zhao Kai, this son is his most proud son.

He, Zhao Ji, left Bianjing City on the front foot, and on the back foot, Zhao Kai launched the Dongyemen Change.

It was flattened by Shen Cong with an arrow.

The other one was very brave, Zhao Gou, who went to the camp of the Jin soldiers with Li Bangyan and had peace talks with the Jin men.

This one is much smarter than Zhao Kai. Taking advantage of Zhao Huanteng's absence, he planned to manage the south of the Yangtze River and prepare to stand on his own.

Zhao Ji bowed his head tremblingly and said: "Old Zhuo, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."【Note 3】

Zhao Huan smiled.

He still remembered that Zhao Ji, who had the appearance of an emperor at that time, was full of emperor's demeanor.

Now he calls himself an old clumsy.It's also weird.

"Get up." Zhao Huan said indifferently.

"King Tong, we meet again." Zhao Huan looked at Tong Guan with a beard. This was also the second time we met. The last time was Zhao Huan's first calculation.

Zhao Huan wanted Tong Guan to be the guardian of Tokyo and the four walls to defend Tokyo.

It's good for Tong Guan, he just released the military power, handed over the fish talisman, and slipped away.

"The official canonized Zhong Shaobao as the king of Guangyang County. This county king has already passed away. The official family has beaten me." Tong Guan said with a bow.

"The new style in the court is full of righteous ministers. The officials are promising, accepting Yanyun, and the long-cherished wish of the Song Dynasty. The veterans congratulate the officials!" Tong Guan said again.

Zhao Huan looked around and said, "Where is Mrs. Cai, why haven't you seen Mrs. Mrs. Cai? Mrs. Cai has risen and fallen everywhere, and has been a prime minister for seventeen years. I don't know where this No. 1 thing in ancient and modern times is?"

Tong Guan glanced at the emperor's face, and said: "Cai Taifu is over eighty years old. His legs and feet are a bit slow, and the officials will take care of him. He is behind."

"Where are the others? Why are you and Taifu Cai returning to Beijing with the Supreme Emperor?" Zhao Huan sat upright and looked around, asking curiously.

When the Jin soldiers had just retreated, the officials of the court ignored the community and fled. If there were not some officials, the government of the Song Dynasty would have stopped immediately.

What about this group of people?I'm still planning to settle accounts with them.

Zhao Huan also wanted to confiscate their homes to add some money to the internal funds.

"They all ran away." Tong Guan said sadly.

"The old minister and Cai Taifu are dull, so they returned to Beijing with the Supreme Emperor." Tong Guan bowed his head and said.

Zhao Huan was taken aback, can he still play like this?
Can we share wealth, but not adversity?

Zhao Ji has relied on the court officials all his life, so there are only two people left?
Zhao Ji's face became more and more ugly. Compared with the prime minister chosen by his son, his person is really embarrassing.

When Bamen came to Beijing, what did Li Gang do?Punish the country's thieves and secure the country.

When he returned to Beijing this time, he walked for a month, and everyone ran away cleanly.

"Officials, the minister is here." Cai Jing walked into the hall tremblingly, saw Zhao Huan sitting on the dragon chair, and saw his son, Cai You.

Cai You pushed Cai Jing out of the court and inherited his seat. The father and son did not expect that they would meet again in this way.

"Civil Minister Cai Jing, see Your Majesty." Cai Jing tremblingly wanted to kneel down and salute.

Zhao Huan shook his head and said, "Young master Cai, help your father up. He is already in his eighties, and he is in the age of the stick. There is no need to kneel."

Cai Jing was able to rise and fall in all directions because he was good at kowtowing, and Pu Fu kowtowed, which is rare in Song Dynasty.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhao Huan nodded and said, "Since they are all here, everyone Zhao knows, let's announce the decree."

Zhao Ying nodded, picked up the imperial edict that had been written a long time ago, and read it in a cadenced tone: "The capital of Beijing is fierce, and it uses wisdom to control people. The more constricted the custom, the more exhausted the power of the world and nine states to serve oneself."

"The emperor also knew that he was a traitor. He repeatedly dismissed and rose up, and chose those who did not agree with Beijing to be in power. Every time Beijing heard about it, he would resign, and he went to see him to pray for mourning. Pufu bowed his head. There is no shame."

"In the battle of Yanshan, Beijing sent you poems, and the meaning of impossibility was contained in Yang, so that things could not be accomplished, so they could understand themselves. Seeing profit and forgetting righteousness, as for brothers, they were Shen and Shang, and father and son were like Qin and Yue."

"In the old age, the family is the mansion. Those who enter the camp gather their families, transport the goods and get the beautiful officials, and abandon the rules and regulations as empty weapons. The heart of suffering and loss is omnipresent. The disaster, now Tai Tuo is dethroned, and he is relegated to Nanqiongzhou Tuanlian Deputy Envoy. Relegated to Lingnan." [Note 4]

"Having been in the army for 20 years, the power is at stake for a while, and the period of running around will be too restrictive."

"With measure, you can save money. The harem from the concubines and concubines all donate money, and the reputation of the left and right women's temples is heard day by day."

"Favorites are fanatics, courts and households are mixed into a city, Yue Mu and Fu Bi are often out of their homes, and there are hundreds of generations of servants, servants and envoys of officials. The poor, the villain, the misfortune, and the poison are all over the world. .”

"The king of Guangyang County was deposed, and he was relegated to the deputy envoy of Jiedu of the Zhaohua Army, and he was assigned to the Yingzhou and Jiyang Army." [Note 5]

"On the [-]th day of the Lan month in the first year of Jingkang, Zhao Ying was known to everyone in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Xuan! Deputy envoy of the Zhaohua Army Jiedu Tong Guan, Feng! Qiongzhou regiment training envoy Cai Jing, okay!"

After Zhao Ying's voice finished speaking, Cai You suddenly stood up and said, "I wish to go to Lingnan with my father. I hope Your Majesty will make it happen."

"Father is very old and there is no one to take care of him on the road. He may be in danger of being killed on the road."

But Cai Jing waved his hands again and again and said: "No, no, I can go by myself. You are not yet fifty, and the officials are brave and sage. You follow the officials and do things well. I am an old bone, so don't worry about me."

Zhao Huan shook his head, the drama of father's kindness and son's filial piety has come out.

"Cai Shaoshi, stay with Cai Jing well on the way, you have to go to Leizhou to take office." Zhao Huan said with a smile: "The Cai family has a total of 23 people, and they are exiled to remote places, and they are not allowed to move in if there is an amnesty."

"Cai Jing and Cai You will never be released, and officials who dare to recommend them will be punished."

This is an explanation to the common people, Cai Jing is the six thieves of the Song Dynasty, and Cai You is the thief of the country. To get such an evaluation, how much they have done to them.

The reason why Zhao Huan has been waiting until now is to wait for Zhao Ji to return to the court.Now that you're back, you can make arrangements.

　Note 1: It has been more than [-] years since I inherited the kindness of my ancestors and placed it above the scholars and the people.Although he is conscientious and conscientious, he still makes mistakes continuously, which is actually due to his low endowment.Over the years, the road of speech has been blocked and flattery has filled the ears, resulting in treacherous and evil beings in power, greedy and gluttonous, talented people trapped in slander, nobles and gentry were exiled, the government was in chaos, and chronic illnesses continued for a long time.If taxes are collected too much, the wealth of the people will be robbed; if the garrison is too heavy, the strength of the soldiers will be robbed. .It can be said that the people's livelihood is poor, and extravagance is commonplace.Disasters and accidents occur repeatedly, but I still don't realize it; the people complain about it, and I have no way of knowing it.Thinking about all the mistakes, what a regret!
