Martial Arts: I am in the Ming Cult and I am building a dynasty

Looking at Sima Guang, his face turned pale and uncertain.

Yang Zhao sneered and said, "Why, Sima Xianggong is speechless? Or, you dare not speak?"

"Humph, since Mr. Sima doesn't dare to say it, then I will say it."

"I think that Sima Xianggong has been talking about the way of sincerity and courtesy, the way of being a monarch, and the way of being a minister from the beginning. Is he trying to use these things to restrain my wife and me?"

"For what? For Sima Xianggong's family. Probably not, so..."

Yang Zhao didn't finish his words.

But everyone present knew very well that what Yang Zhao was talking about was Sima Guang and the scholar-official clan behind him.

Using etiquette to bind others would restrict imperial power from the root.

This is also the method that the aristocratic class and even the entire literati are most adept at.

Chapter 169 Famous Ministers and Generals Enter the Palace

At the princess's residence, Sima Guang had not uttered a single word since Yang Zhao and Zhao Shirong showed up, and he left in disgrace.

Sima Guang was indeed a role model for a good person and an important official when he was young, but unfortunately he became confused in his old age.

The older you get, the more you tend to associate with those despicable people.

At the same time, Sima Guang's position was also a means for Yang Zhao to make an example of someone else.

When dealing with these famous ministers and wise ministers, one cannot use too drastic measures. Killing people with force or something like that will only arouse the arrogance and pride in these big men's bones.

After Sima Guang's example, everyone present became much more restrained.

The only purpose of Yang Zhao's appearance here is to warn others.

You can have power, wealth, merit, and fame, but the only requirement is that you do not bully the imperial authority.

A rally can also be said to be a governance meeting.

From early morning till late evening, Zhao Shirong and these old men were constantly discussing, negotiating, and even arguing.

At the same time, under the shock of Yang Zhao.

Throughout the Song Dynasty, the reforms based on the New Policy in the South were also completely finalized.

For example, great men like Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi, Han Qi and Kou Zhun, after getting rid of their minor flaws, each of them was extremely talented and far-sighted, and naturally could see the benefits of the New Deal in the South.

But before.

These people have to fight for power and profit while also taking care of the interests of the groups behind them, which is why there are all kinds of party struggles and attacks.

After having Yang Zhao's Poseidon Needle.

All power struggles were ended at the source, and the capabilities that this group of people were able to demonstrate when working together were truly impressive.

Of course, these were just disputes and struggles in the court, which could reduce the power of Liang Shicheng, Cai Jing and others.

Yang Zhao was not very interested in this.

Only after these people left did Yang Zhao come back to his senses from his stunned state.

Then, Yang Zhao turned his head and looked at Zhao Shirong, who looked quite exhausted. He quickly sent a Pure Yang Purple Qi over and took her into his arms, saying, "My dear, I am sorry that you have to argue and work with these old men every day."

Zhao Shirong rolled her eyes at Yang Zhao and said, "Do you know what I am doing? I will punish you by not letting you go to see those two little demons Rong'er and Yuyan tonight."

Yang Zhao chuckled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll give it all to you, as long as you don't complain about your back pain."

Zhao Shirong's pretty face turned red, and she said, "Look at what you can do, you look like a dead person."

Yang Zhao laughed loudly, then picked up Zhao Shirong by the waist and disappeared into the backyard of the mansion.

In the next few days.

Zhao Shirong still led Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi and others to wave the flag and shout slogans, mobilizing countless civil officials to launch the most fierce offensive against Liang Shicheng, Cai Jing and others in the court.

Even the current emperor could not bear such great pressure, and had a subtle sense of rejection towards Liang Shicheng, Cai Jing and others.

Among the six thieves of the Song Dynasty, Wang Fu and Zhu Zhen had been completely eliminated.

The area south of the Yangtze River was directly out of the control of the Song Dynasty court.

People like Liang Shicheng, Cai Jing, Li Yan, and Tong Guan have already begun to show signs of their declining status.

For a time, there were signs of undercurrents in the entire court, the entire Bianliang, and even the entire northern part of the Song Dynasty.

In the princess's mansion, in the reception hall beside the Bian River.

This is the ninth day that Yang Zhao and others have been in Bian Jing.

Yang Zhao, Zhao Shirong, Huang Rong, Wang Yuyan, Yan Fei, Fang Baihua and others sat at the head of the table.

On the left side below is a group of famous ministers and prime ministers of the Song Dynasty, led by Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi and Xiao Qinyan, all of whom have the talent to govern the country and maintain its peace.

On the lower right side is a group of fierce generals of the Song Dynasty led by Cao Wei, Di Qing, Zong Ze, Wang Jian and others.

In addition to these civil and military officials, there are also Yuan Shisanxian, Huang Yaoshi, Xiao Feng, Yan Nantian, Hong Qigong, Duan Yu, Yu Po and other martial arts figures.

These people are basically Yang Zhao's main supporters in the Song Dynasty, apart from the Ming Cult forces.

Nine days after Yang Zhao arrived in Beijing.

Due to the fierce offensive of Zhao Shirong, Fan Zhongyan, Xiao Qinyan and others in the court, people like Liang Shicheng and Cai Jing could no longer tolerate it and started the most fierce counterattack.

The two sides are now in an incompatible and tit-for-tat situation.

So Yang Zhao gathered everyone together to discuss how to completely overthrow Liang Shicheng, Cai Jing, Li Yan, Tong Guan and others.

"The core of the corrupt officials in the court are Liang Shicheng and Cai Jing, and Cai Jing should be the leader."

"No, no, these two are one inside and one outside. The outsider is powerful but has no roots. If Liang the traitor had not colluded with the government, Cai Jing would not have been able to cause any trouble. Liang Shicheng should be the master."

"What about Li Yan? He is a traitor. He is colluding with Chen Zhibao from the border area of ​​West Shu. I'm afraid there will be chaos."

"There is no need to fear Chen Zhibao. We have the Cao family, Di Shuai, and Zong Gong, who are enough to suppress the northwest."

"Let's just go after Cai Jing. The Liang thief is in the inner palace, and he has the protection of the Imperial City Division..."

Most of those who came up with ideas were civil officials like Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi and Kou Zhun. They were all eloquent and could come up with countless strategies in the blink of an eye.

Looking at this scene, Cao Wei, Di Qing, Yuan Shisanxian, Huang Yaoshi, Xiao Feng and others were all filled with fear.

Damn, these pen holders are so insidious.

To put it nicely, the civil officials are making plans and seizing the opportunity to decide the outcome.

But to put it bluntly, they are just a bunch of old perverts, so vicious.

Having many people and many plans each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

For a long time, there was a lot of noise in the hall, but in the end, no one could come up with a plan that could make the final decision.

That's when.

A resolute young man behind Zong Ze whispered, "Mr. Zong, why do all the gentlemen in the hall only talk about the three thieves Liang, Cai, and Li, but no one mentions the threat of the thief Tong Guan?"

Zong Ze looked at the young man behind him with great appreciation and said, "Pengju, it's a good thing that you have your own ideas, but you haven't considered the problem very thoroughly."

"That treacherous eunuch Tong Guan lost his prestige in the Privy Council and the emperor's favor in the Southeast Campaign a few years ago. Although he still holds a high position now, he dares not cause any more trouble and has restrained all his hands, feet and minions. Even if we want to take him down, we have no way to do so for the time being."

Zong Ze's words quickly brought silence to the hall.

Immediately afterwards, people like Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi, Kou Zhun, Han Qi and others nodded with a smile.

Just as Zong Ze said, in court struggles, one must have a legitimate reason and not break the rules. Now, after the battle in the southeast, Tong Guan is like a coward and it is difficult to deal with him.

On the contrary, Liang Shicheng, Cai Jing, Li Yan and others were full of flaws, making them more vulnerable to knife attacks.

Chapter 170: The Quanzhen Sect's legacy of disaster, the plan to kill Tong Guan

In the court of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Shirong's faction and the six thieves' faction were now engaged in a situation of swords and guns.

In the princess's palace, the focus of discussion among a group of famous ministers and generals was how to kill him directly with one blow, rather than fighting for power as in the past.

The conversation between Zong Ze and the young general behind him temporarily paused the discussion.

After hearing Zong Ze's address to the young general, Yang Zhao became interested and asked, "Mr. Zong, is the young general you brought into the palace Zhou Tong's disciple, Yue Fei, Yue Pengju?"

Yang Zhao is one of the two masters of the Emperor's Mansion.

At this time, Yang Zhao spoke, and everyone in the hall stopped and looked at the young general in the direction of Yang Zhao's gaze.

Zong Ze did not dare to neglect him and said, "My Lord, the person under my command is Yue Pengju. He joined the Death Squad the year before last and followed Tong Guan and Cai You to the north to resist the Liao. Tong Guan was defeated and Yue Fei's squad became abandoned and fled to Zhending Prefecture. When I was in charge of Hebei Province, I saw that he was skilled in spear, stick, bow and horse, and knew military affairs, so I took him by my side to teach him."

Yang Zhao nodded and said, "Yes, this man has the talent to be a general. He can be a pillar of the Song Dynasty in the future. Master Zong, teach him well and then let him come to the Princess's mansion. I will teach him a set of martial arts and spear skills."

Yang Zhao's words surprised everyone present.

Even scholars and wise men like Fan Zhongyan and Wang Anshi are very clear about Yang Zhao's reputation today.

The world's number one genius, he killed three great masters with three punches and killed the celestial being Murong Longcheng and others.

It can be said that at this time, just one word of praise from Yang Zhao was enough to make Yue Fei famous in the Song Dynasty.

Not to mention, Yang Zhao even wanted to personally teach the other party a set of martial arts skills.

Not to mention Yue Fei who was not yet famous, even Cao Wei, Di Qing and other generals who had been famous for a long time in the Song Dynasty were extremely envious of this.

Seeing everyone was surprised.

Yang Zhao simply explained, "You don't have to do that. This boy has the fate of a golden-winged roc, which is very compatible with the golden eagle under my command. I learned a set of attack and killing skills from the golden eagle a few days ago, and I couldn't bear to give it up, so I took the opportunity to pass it on to Yue Fei, which can be regarded as a contribution to the generals of the Song Dynasty."

After hearing Yang Zhao's explanation, everyone present understood and stopped caring about it.

At this time, Yang Zhao had already begun to think about how to pry Yue Fei from Zong Ze's command and bring him under his own command.

Yue Fei was a talented general whose name will be remembered throughout the ages.

Not to mention his current achievements and talents, just based on his potential, Yue Fei is certainly a level higher than many of the famous ministers and generals under him, and is qualified to become a god-like general of the dynasty with good fortune.

Such a talent must not be allowed to waste time in the various disputes in the Song Dynasty court.

Yang Zhao's mind was turning. Seeing that everyone was still discussing who to attack first, an idea suddenly came to his mind.

"Cough cough!"

Yang Zhao coughed lightly, quickly quieting everyone down, and then said: "Everyone, Cai Jing caused chaos in the front, Liang Shicheng plotted in the back, and Li Yan made enemies in the northwest. Although there are many problems, none of them is fatal."

"On the contrary, it is that Tong Guan who colluded with the Kingdom of Jin to cause chaos in the interior of our Song Dynasty. This young master has some solid evidence in his hands."

"If we defeat Tong Guan, we will be able to take control of the Privy Council and the Grand Commandant. Once the 800,000 imperial guards in Bianjing are reorganized, we will have the ultimate confidence to dominate the world and wipe out all the traitors."

"What do you think?"

Yang Zhao's words once again made everyone in the hall fall silent.

Everyone present was a shrewd man, and through Yang Zhao's words, they were able to quickly determine that this was a top-notch conspiracy that could quickly suppress the world and restore order.

The ultimate key lies in whether the evidence in Yang Zhao's hands can completely prove the death of Tong Guan.

Kou Zhun was the most upright person. He said, "This matter is of great importance. It's not that we don't believe you, sir. But can you show us your solid evidence?"

Yang Zhaozi smiled and waved his hand.

Soon, the four maids of Xiaoyao Sect, namely Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum, came to the lobby with Wanyan Kang and Ouyang Feng who looked very embarrassed.

Yang Zhaoxin brushed Ouyang Feng away and pointed at Wanyan Kang, saying, "Look everyone, this man is the son of Wanyan Honglie, one of the marshals of the Jin army. He came to the Song Dynasty in the name of the Jin Dynasty to cause chaos. He intended to cause civil strife in the Song Dynasty when the Song and Jin dynasties joined forces to divide the Liao Dynasty, so as to facilitate the Jin Dynasty's southward advance."

Fan Zhongyan frowned and said, "Liao is a wolf and Jin is a tiger. This thief should be killed."

Wang Anshi was somewhat puzzled and said, "Mr. Fan, please calm down. May I ask, sir, what is the connection between this thief and Tong Guan?"

When everyone in the hall heard Wang Anshi's words, they all looked at Yang Zhao.

Yang Zhao smiled calmly and said, "As you all know, Tong Guan has close ties with the Quanzhen Sect. In order to guard against us, he even invited Wang Chongyang to the capital to meet the emperor and preach in the Gen Palace."

"However, you all know that Wanyan Kang is a direct disciple of the Quanzhen Sect and a disciple of Qiu Chuji, a disciple of Wang Chongyang. In addition, the current head of the Quanzhen Sect, Ma Yu, has also accepted the Golden Sword Prince Consort of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty as his disciple."

"Can the truth about the collusion between the Jin and the Mongols be linked to Tong Guan?"

As Yang Zhao spoke, everyone present started to smile.

This is so possible.

Tong Guan was the number one boss of the Privy Council of the Song Dynasty, and was in charge of 70% of the military affairs of the Song Dynasty.

However, the Quanzhen Sect, with which Tong Guan was on good terms, first accepted the crown prince of the Jin Dynasty as a disciple, and then accepted the consort of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty's Golden Knife as a disciple.
