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

Zhao Ji has been in a very uneasy state for some time.

Yang Zhao’s obvious and high-profile behavior made Zhao Ji sleepless all night, fearing that when he woke up, the Song Dynasty would suddenly have changed dramatically and become its new master.

After the trend of discussion suddenly spread in the city of Bianjing, Zhao Ji became even more uneasy and frightened.

In this extremely anxious state of mind, Zhao Ji couldn't help it after all and wanted to try his best to fight back.

However, after the battle of Taihu Lake.

Zhao Ji, who had been hiding and dormant, had already attracted Yang Zhao's attention. From the first day he returned to Bian Jing, he sent a large number of experts and personnel to keep a close eye on every figure in the Gen Palace, not missing any trace.

Seven days later.

Having obtained a large amount of evidence, Yang Zhao soon lost all his patience and gathered a large number of experts to directly attack the remaining forces under Zhao Ji.

The first to suffer was the Youqiao Group, which suffered heavy damage in Bian Jing.

In just half an hour, Mi Cangqiong and Fang Yingkan were captured alive by the powerful attack of Zhuge Zhengwo and the Three Absolute Divine Constables. Even Fang Geyin, who was at the level of Martial Saint, was stopped by Wei Qingqingqing.

Next up was Guan Qi from the Imperial City Division.

It may be that Zhao Ji had a sense of crisis early on. Guan Qi, who was already at the level of a celestial being, had actually broken into the level of a martial saint with the accumulation of a large amount of resources from Zhao Ji.

Unfortunately, even though Guan Qi was extremely talented and had mastered the innate invisible sword energy that could break through the body to the point of sounding the word "qi", he was still taught a lesson by Deng Tai'a, Dugu Qiubai, Huang Shang, Zhao Defang and others.

There are different types of martial saints.

No matter how talented Guan Qi was, he was too young and had insufficient experience. He had only just reached the level of a Martial Saint and was simply unable to compete with many veteran Martial Saints. He was captured alive and sent to the Heavenly Prison.

In addition to this, Liang Shicheng had another trick up his sleeve. He had reached the peak of his celestial cultivation and had three thousand red silk threads that could rival a martial saint. However, he was killed on the spot by Deng Tai'a and Dugu Qiubai.

In this way, Zhao Ji became a complete commander without any troops.

In the Gen Palace.

Yang Zhao sat on the dragon throne that originally belonged to Zhao Ji, with piles of evidence, materials, letters, etc. thrown at his feet.

Opposite Yang Zhao was Zhao Ji with disheveled hair and a large group of silent court officials.

"Lord Jiefu, Lord Pingzhong, Lord Zhigui, why are you silent?"

"You don't think that you can secretly communicate with Zhao Ji to withdraw money without anyone noticing, do you?"

"Is it that I didn't give you enough benefits? Or is it that Master Rong doesn't respect you enough?"

"You are a bunch of traitors. Don't think that the Song Dynasty will not survive without you."

"If you can't explain it today, you will all die!"

Chapter 309: The Fear of the Great Song Dynasty's Wise Ministers

Wang Anshi, Kou Zhun and Han Qi, these three can be said to be the most capable and wise ministers under Zhao Shirong's command.

However, the prestige accumulated by Emperor Taizong of Song over two hundred years still caused these three people to leak many plans discussed by Yang Zhao, Zhao Shirong and others at critical moments.

To be precise, it was leaked to Zhao Ji through Sima Guang and a group of old colleagues and friends.

For these truly capable ministers and wise ministers.

Be it Zhao Shirong or Yang Zhao, neither of them was treated unfairly in the slightest.

Zhao Shirong was courteous to the wise and humble to others. Except on formal occasions, he treated the three of them as a teacher. He also got many elixirs for spiritual practice and body strengthening from Yang Zhao, and rewarded them every now and then.

It can be said that Wang Anshi, Kou Zhun, Han Qi, a group of old men in their eighties and nineties, were able to be active in the court in their old age with full energy and good health, and even go home to occasionally have fun with their old wives, almost all thanks to the grace of Zhao Shirong and Yang Zhao.

For this group of people, Zhao Shirong even sacrificed her own prestige as the eldest wife, and asked Wu Xingyun for the immortality skill. She passed it down layer by layer, allowing Wang Anshi and others to prolong their lifespans and even return to youth.

Such a favor, if not tantamount to rebirth, is not far from it.

Accompanied by Yang Zhao's extremely cold and angry rebuke.

Wang Anshi, Kou Zhun and Han Qi in the hall all looked guilty and were speechless.

at the same time.

After seeing this situation, Fan Zhongyan, the leader of the ministers, also changed his face. He first looked at Yang Zhao with a dark face, then looked at Zhao Ji with disheveled hair, and finally looked at Wang Anshi and others.

"Jiefu, Pingzhong, Zhigui, ah, you..."

Fan Zhongyan was a man who was truly close to a sage. He not only had the ability to govern the country, but also had a character that was impeccable.

Before the world's worries and worries, after the world's joy and joy.

After learning from Zhao Shirong and Yang Zhao the more appropriate and beneficial governing methods and strategies for the world, Fan Zhongyan devoted himself to contributing to the court.

Just like the cleaning up of internal troubles this time.

Even Wang Anshi, Kou Zhun and Han Qi made serious mistakes.

But Fan Zhongyan always maintained his respect for Zhao Shirong, his gratitude to Yang Zhao, his loyalty to the Song Dynasty, and his compassion for the people of Song.

Even so, it went against Fan Zhongyan's former respect and grace for Taizong's lineage.

Fan Zhongyan still kept the former grace deep in his heart. At most, he took extra care of the descendants of Taizong in court struggles and daily life, and never leaked any secrets.

No matter what, we are colleagues and old friends for many years.

Fan Zhongyan looked at the guilty expressions of Wang Anshi, Kou Zhun, and Han Qi, and could not bear to blame them too much. He just tried to persuade them, "You are confused, Jiefu. You have been a young talent since you were young. You aspire to be like Guan Zhong of Qi and Shang Yang of Qin in ancient times, seeking to change the court and the world, so as to change the poor and weak state of the court of our Song Dynasty. Only the princess and the prince can grant you the power without any taboos."

"Pingzhong, you are upright by nature, and you often offend your superiors because of your direct criticism. In your early years in the court, you have experienced ups and downs, and have served two emperors, but no one can tolerate you for a long time. Only the princess treats you like a teacher, and her sincerity has not changed."

"Zhigui, you are a capable person. You can participate in politics and military affairs in the court. You are the only one who has conflicted with both."

"You really are the ones who are here to apologize to the young master!"

It can be said that what Fan Zhongyan said is not an exaggeration at all, and it is just the tip of the iceberg.

Zhao Shirong and Yang Zhao might have been a little tough in many policies and attitudes, such as beheading scholars and purging officials and gentry, which were quite cruel methods, but there is no doubt that they were extremely lenient towards Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi and others, and dared to delegate power to them.

This is a platform that the emperors of all dynasties of the Song Dynasty could not provide to the public.

After being scolded by Fan Zhongyan, the three old men Wang Anshi, Kou Zhun and Han Qi felt ashamed and their faces were burning with shame. They felt ashamed.

But asking three nearly 100-year-old old men to kowtow and apologize would be too difficult.

Just as the three of them were hesitating whether to swallow their pride and apologize.

Yang Zhao sneered and said, "Lord Xiwen, that's fine. I can't afford to apologize to several famous ministers, let alone the people of the Song Dynasty."

This is undoubtedly an ironic statement.

Fan Zhongyan said in a gentle voice, "Mr. Zhao, I have already heard from Mr. Gu from the Imperial City Office about the incident involving Jiefu, Pingzhong, and Zhigui. The three of them were nostalgic and missed the grace of Emperor Taizong in the past, so they were not strict enough in dealing with Sima Guang and others, which led to the leakage of our court secrets and left the current emperor with hope and opportunities. Fortunately, no disaster has occurred. Can we..."

Yang Zhao swung his sleeves and said, "Mr. Fan, you can first take the things that the Six Bat Hall has collected."

Yang Zhao's attitude was very tough, even bad.

Fan Zhongyan frowned, but he knew that Wang Anshi, Kou Zhun, Han Qi and others might be in big trouble, so he took two steps at a time, stepped forward, picked up a letter on the side and started reading.

Just one glance and a layer of frost suddenly appeared on Fan Zhongyan's face.

Then, with the help of several people from the Six Bat Hall, Fan Zhongyan began to browse through the large amount of letters and materials. His face would often darken after just a glance.

He had ties with the vassal states, the bandits, and the foreign races, causing internal strife in the south of the Yangtze River and external cession of the northern border.

Assassinated Zhao Shirong and abducted Huang Rong's daughters.

It can be said that any one of the above contents is a serious crime worthy of execution of the entire family. After all the charges were brought, even with the perfect temper of Fan Zhongyan, he could not help but skin Zhao Ji alive. At the same time, he glared at Wang Anshi and others who leaked many court secrets.

Snapped!

After being extremely angry, Fan Zhongyan threw the letter and materials directly in the faces of Wang Anshi and the other two, almost roaring: "Look at what you have done. You should be thankful that the conspiracy recorded here has not succeeded. Otherwise, even if I turn into a fierce ghost after my death, I will devour the lives of all nine of your clans."

Throwing the booklet directly in the faces of Wang Anshi and others was already a great insult.

In the past, Wang Anshi and the other two would have dared to fight to the death for this.

But looking at Fan Zhongyan's angry and roaring expression, the three of them began to feel uneasy. They picked up the letters and materials in a panic and began to check them.

After just a quick glance, the three of them turned pale instantly, as if all the strength in their bodies had been drained away, and they collapsed to the ground.

Chapter 310: Three wise ministers killed Emperor Zhao Ji

The things recorded in the letters collected by Yang Zhao were too incredible and horrifying.

The Song Emperor Zhao Ji actually wanted to sell out and betray the entire Song Dynasty.

This is such a fucking joke.

This was the legitimate emperor that they and others had once placed a glimmer of hope in. But he actually wanted to unite with the villains such as Western Shu, Northern Liang, Liao, Jin, and Mongolia, and at the cost of half of the Song Dynasty's territory, completely destroy and kill the princess who was working hard to strengthen the Song Dynasty, as well as Yang Zhao and others.

Isn't this just digging a hole for yourself?

Is there anything more ridiculous and sad than this in the world?

Yes, it really does exist.

They had clearly met a wise and virtuous ruler, and had received great favors, but they were not satisfied and were still thinking about the so-called past grace. They saw Sima Guang stealing court secrets and passing them to Zhao Ji, but they turned a blind eye.

What are we looking forward to? What the hell have we done?

It may be a bit of an exaggeration to say that they are aiding and abetting evil.

But does turning a blind eye really mean you are innocent?

What a joke, so sad.

Where is there any evidence written in these letters and piles of information? They clearly say "Wang Jiefu is a big idiot", "Kou Pingzhong is a big idiot", "Han Zhigui is a big innocent".

There is no need to read the rest of the correspondence.

Wang Anshi, Kou Zhun and Han Qi sat on the ground in a state of despair, their faces as pale as paper.

God have mercy on us. Although we were indeed fools, in the end, the conspiracy of Zhao Ji, Sima Guang and others did not succeed. Otherwise, we would be sinners for all eternity.

The three of them couldn't even imagine that kind of scene.

He fell to the ground, dazed for a while.

Wang Anshi suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhao Ji. He stood up, ran away with a red face, and then kicked Zhao Ji directly, knocking him to the ground.

"Zhao Ji, I'm sorry, you almost ruined my lifelong dream. I'm going to fight you to the death."

Seeing Wang Anshi's brave and courageous action, everyone's jaws dropped to the ground.

Only Kou Zhun and Han Qi could understand this feeling.

Kou Zhun also turned over and stood up, and pounced on Zhao Ji like a vicious dog, then started punching him in the face with his fists.

And Han Qi was still sitting on the ground in a daze.

For quite a while.

Han Qi suddenly stood up, silently drew a sword from the waist of a guard, and came in front of Zhao Ji with an unprecedented cold and fierce look on his face.

Then, Han Qi turned around and bowed to Yang Zhao without saying a word.

Then, Han Qi looked at Zhao Ji expressionlessly and said, "I am Han Zhigui, who became famous at a young age and is quite talented. I was once appointed as a wise minister by Emperor Renzong. I have experienced ups and downs in my life. I have been high-spirited and downcast, but I have never been in such an awkward situation as today."

"Sir, you are jealous of your power and want to destroy the prosperity of our Song Dynasty for 200 years. Hahahaha, I have lived for more than 80 years in vain, and now I am old and blind."

"Don't be afraid, it will only hurt for a while. I will take the Guan family to the underworld to apologize to our ancestor Renzong!"

Han Qi was confident, domineering and calm in times of crisis throughout his life, but this incident almost destroyed his faith.

As a top ruthless person.

Han Qi raised his hand and stabbed the sword towards Zhao Ji's chest, intending to kill the king directly to vent his hatred and remove the last obstacle for Zhao Shirong to ascend the throne.

As for reputation, family and the like, Han Qi had already thrown them all out the window and didn't care at all.

"what!"

Han Qi's ruthless action shocked everyone present.

Only Zhao Ji, under the great fear of life and death crisis, burst out unprecedented potential. He threw Kou Zhun several meters away, and rolled over on the spot, barely avoiding the vital sword.

But even so, Zhao Ji's thigh was pierced on the spot.

"How dare you, you traitors, assassinate the king."

"You are committing treason and regicide. You will be infamous for eternity. Ouch, it hurts."

Between life and death, Zhao Ji showed great potential. After dodging the fatal sword, he was able to roll over and jump up, constantly uttering a series of roars from his mouth.
