Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 818 Weird Smile

"I am very dissatisfied with the remarks made by some tabloids recently." Zhao Huan took a tabloid out of his sleeve.

The crumpled tabloids represent the great Song Emperor's strong dissatisfaction with him. Such things as crumpled Zhazi are rare among the diligent Emperor Song.

"I'm guilty." Li Bangyan knelt down on the ground with a plop, his head covered in sweat.

Zhao Huan did not make Li Bangyan stand up like before, but handed the tabloid to Zhao Ying, and asked Li Bangyan to read the contents of the tabloid.

Zhao Huan said full of memories: "Li Bangyan, when I first came to the throne, you accompanied King Kang to the Jin camp for peace talks. When you came back from the Jin camp, the people of Bianjing blocked your door."

"I passed by your door. The government office in Kaifeng Mansion can't guarantee your safety. I sent the city defense army to go with the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple to rescue you from the Dazai Mansion. I intended to exile you, but it depends on how much you still have." Bloody, I will keep you here."

"Later, when I was fighting in Hedong, Bianjing sent eight gates into Beijing. You rode a bullock cart and ran to Hedong Road to find me. Later, I found out clearly and searched your property. I mistakenly thought that you were greedy for ink. This is a misunderstanding. Untied, you also sat in the seat proposed by Dasong Shufang."

"You are very talented. When Li Gangchu was the prime minister, I received a lot of care from you. I would like to start well and end well, but I am very dissatisfied with this matter."

Li Bangyan didn't open the tabloid. Of course he knew what it was. Instead, he wiped the sweat from his forehead tremblingly and said, "The officials are benevolent, and I have been cautious and careful in the past few years. I am afraid that I will let you down." The official's love for his ministers."

"Then what's going on with this tabloid?" Zhao Huan pointed at the tabloid on the ground with anger in his eyes.

Li Bangyan bowed his head and said, "Fishing."

Oh?
After Zhao Huan thought about it carefully, he said, "Tell me."

Li Bangyan wiped the sweat from his forehead tremblingly and said: "This tabloid is a workshop of Dasong Book Company. The officials know this, and so do the people in Bianjing. Some Beijing officials in Bianjing also know it better."

"Some time ago, the incident of General Wang was vivid in my mind. I thought about using this tabloid as the basis and published this article. The purpose of this article is to fish. To catch those officials who are not in line with the officials, especially the magistrates of various places. Is the transshipment envoy one with the officials?"

Zhao Huan shook his head and said, "Fishing, I agree, I also like fishing, but you shouldn't talk about Taiyuan."

"Wang ordered to guard Taiyuan. After guarding for more than 250 days, the food and grass ran out. I can't bear to talk about this."

"Get up first." Zhao Huan signaled Li Bangyan to stand up, and he also walked off the platform and came to Li Bangyan's side.

Zhao Huan patted Li Bangyan's shoulder lightly and said: "I, before he became the throne, he was a prince who was born in a deep palace and grew up in the hands of a woman. .”

Li Bangyan was shaken by this slap, almost tilted on the ground, and quickly stood firm and said: "The official family is still in the midst of the dragon, and has the ambition to shake the sky. It's just that the naked eyes of the ministers and other mortals have never clearly seen the official family. attitude."

"Putting up!" Zhao Huan scolded.

Zhao Huan sighed deeply, sat down on the threshold of Wende Hall, looked at the brick and stone square from Dongyemen to Wende Hall, and said: "I have no objection to you fishing. After all, there will be war next year. How can you feel at ease if you don’t fish. But you shouldn’t talk about Taiyuan. It was only when I arrived in Taiyuan that I saw for the first time what a siege of a city is.”

"Taiyuan City Guard No. 20 On the 140rd day, the people fled into the small city surrounded by ten miles and closed the city gate. On the [-]th day, the army food in the city was in a hurry, and no reinforcements were seen. Join the army. The defenders have expanded to more than [-]."

"On the seventh day of the 150th, the military rations were at the bottom, and the elderly over [-] hanged themselves and went on a diet to supply the military supplies. The people eat for themselves. Guess what the people eat?"

The sweat Li Bangyan just wiped was frightened again, and he quickly wiped it off and said, "I don't know."

Zhao Huan showed a very strange smile and said: "You guessed it, it is what you think, there are more corpses of old people, of course there are more corpses of Jin people."

"On the seventh day of the 170th, the army's rations ran out again. The soldiers looted the corpses in the city. The king beheaded several people and ordered them not to eat them. However, after nightfall, some soldiers still left the camp to steal food."

"On the third day of the 180th, all the young children under the rut were beheaded, and the woman was prevented from hanging herself.

Zhao Huan's smile became more and more strange, and he patted Li Bangyan's shoulder vigorously and said: "On the 250th day, Taiyuan City was crumbling. Taiwei Zhong arrived to reinforce the army, and Kaicheng released food for disaster relief. The military disaster you saw in Hedong is similar to what I see The military disasters that arrived were not the same.”

"When I went to Taiyuan City, Taiwei Zhong had already cleaned up Taiyuan City, and it looked normal. It was a kind of Shaobao who loved me and didn't want me to see the tragedy. Why did I invent the curse in Taiyuan?" Emperor Taizong? Why, have you not even given the golden man a chance to surrender?"

Li Bangyan knelt on the ground and kowtowed fiercely, his forehead was swollen, and he kept saying: "I am guilty, I am guilty."

Zhao Huan finally withdrew his creepy smile and said, "You are a scholar-bureaucrat, and you have never been in the army. In war, there is no clear distinction between justice and evil. I can pretend that nothing happened in this tabloid. There will be no next time."

Li Bangyan's face was covered with blood. Hearing the Emperor Song's words, he kowtowed again and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me."

After the words were closed, Li Bangyan collapsed on the ground and took a long time to get up.

Zhao Huan had already returned to Wende Palace, and continued to review the letter, as if what happened just now was like a hallucination.

"Go see Li Bangyan off, wipe off the blood on his face, people who don't know will think I did something to him." Zhao Huan signaled Zhao Ying to send him off.

After waiting for a long time, Zhao Ying turned back, looked at the slightly busy officials, thought about it, and said, "Li Bangyan didn't tell the truth."

Zhao Huan smiled slightly and said: "Li Gang asked him to do this, and Li Gang has never been to Taiyuan. If I really want to kill Li Bangyan, can I kill Li Gang too?"

Zhao Ying shook her head and said, "The officials know what I'm talking about. Someone sent money to Li Bangyan first, and Li Dazai asked him later. The purpose of this tabloid is not pure, he just took the money to do things."

"He didn't say Li Dazai's name, I'm already very grateful to him." Zhao Huan leaned back in his chair and said, "I didn't say hello to them either, I didn't behave well to them."

Zhao Ying still persisted and said: "This is because Li Bangyan knows that Li Dazai's name has been mentioned, and he will definitely die."
