Chapter 807 'Zuoming' surrounded the Song Dynasty Palace
Starting from Detective Li Yuanfang, Chapter 807 "Zuoming" surrounded the Song Dynasty Palace
“After all, Jinling is no better than Bianliang!”
Zhao Ji was lying in his palace, Funing Hall, looking at the simple beam roof, and then thinking that the layout of the palace did not follow etiquette, he felt dissatisfied.
Historically, the Imperial City of the Southern Song Dynasty had an unprecedented "situated in the south and faced the north". There was no "left ancestor and right society", and it was not a north-south central axis. The east-west symmetrical layout could be said to violate etiquette everywhere.
This is not a maverick move, nor is it an ambition to "one day conquer the Central Plains in the north", but a helpless move.
To put it bluntly, it was because the royal family of the Zhao and Song Dynasties fled all the way south. They were in a hurry and did not have time to plan in advance. They built the palace according to local conditions. Naturally, many rituals could not be followed and they had to make do.
By the same token, although Zhao Ji in this world was not as panicked as Zhao Gou when he ran away, there were still many things that were not in line with etiquette in the hastily built palace in Jinling. The key was that it was not comfortable to live in.
When he compared the Yanfu Palace, which was about to be completed, Zhao Ji felt his heart twitch.
Then I thought about Han Zhongyan, Zeng Bu, and Cai Bian all resigning, and Fan Chunli's death was approaching. All the important ministers who had originally blocked him had gone. However, the Jiangnan faction headed by He Zhizhong had grown rapidly, and sooner or later it would not be able to lose its power. This thought became stronger in my mind.
He stood up and said, "Call Liang Douzhi in."
Liang Shicheng quickly walked into the hall with a joyful expression, knelt down and kowtowed: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
Looking at this exceptional promotion, Zhao Ji was destined to succeed Tong Guan, Yang Jian and others and become the eunuch's servant in the palace: "When you came back from Yanyun, did you see with your own eyes that the people were waiting eagerly by the Bian River, looking forward to my return?
?”
Liang Shicheng's childishness has shrunk, and there is something wrong with him.
After he came back, he was promoted to the rank of magistrate. Firstly, he helped arrest Gaoqiu and catered to the Sacred Heart. Secondly, he reported good news but not bad news. Even the death of the servant Zheng Tu was covered up, saying that he was killed in a war. As for various places
The common people will naturally warmly welcome His Majesty. After all, the Emperor is the father of all his subjects and the parent of everyone in the world!
Liang Shicheng knew very well that he had to whitewash the peace. If he was stupid enough to truthfully report what he saw and heard in Daming Mansion in Hebei, especially the anger of the people and Cai Jing's unscrupulousness, then he would definitely be beaten to death, let alone promotion.
But now the consequences of lying came. Seeing that Zhao Ji actually wanted to go back to Bianliang, he was anxious, but he couldn't lie, so he could only show joy: "Your Majesty, I don't know, when the official ship of slaves and waiters sailed across the Bianhe River
, the people along the way thought they were His Majesty’s chariots, it was really a sea of people, with flags waving!”
Zhao Ji nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that they also know that if I hadn't gone south in time, the Liao army would have used all their strength to attack Bianliang. If the capital was defeated and everyone was in ruins, how could I bear it?"
Liang Shicheng, a man whose conscience had been fed to the dog for a long time, felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this. After adjusting his mood, he said in the most enthusiastic and full voice: "Your Majesty is as benevolent as heaven!"
Zhao Ji smiled and waved his hand: "That's not the case. I was originally worried that the people would be misled by the slander and not understand my difficulties. Only after listening to your report can I feel at ease. This place in the south of the Yangtze River is humid and hot. It is not possible to
After staying here for a long time, we still have to go back!"
Liang Shicheng pursed his lips and mustered up his courage: "Please forgive me for being brave. If your Majesty returns to Bianliang, don't let the words of ordinary people affect your sacred heart. In addition to welcoming your Majesty's return, they also praise Gao Qiu more.
, called him the hero of the Northern Expedition..."
Hearing Gao Qiu's name, the smile on Zhao Ji's face suddenly disappeared, and he said bitterly: "What kind of hero is he? If it weren't for my merciful appreciation, he would still be a lowly servant and an ungrateful market slave.
You dare to collude with Zuo Ming, I really misjudged the person!"
He is the True Dragon Emperor, the lord of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, but he moved the capital and fled south. Gaoqiu was a slave in the market, and was born as a minister. He finally recovered Yanyun, but Gaoqiu disobeyed his own will, and then achieved this achievement...
If one of his major crimes is not punished and the mouth of the world is blocked, what will be written in the history books?
Gao Qiu must die!
Liang Shicheng didn't know what Zhao Ji was thinking, but he just said deliberately: "Your Majesty is generous, but the public sentiment is really agitated. There are still many people in front of the Yamen who are asking for justice. They shout that it is unnecessary and disobey the public. I feel sad to see it, but I don't care at all."
Dare to hide it from His Majesty!"
"Extreme Spiritual Chaos Jue"
Zhao Ji sneered and said: "What are you worried about? They blocked the yamen gate and made a fuss, and then dispersed after a while. Is there anyone who dares to come to the palace to cause trouble?"
The royal family of Zhao and Song Dynasty was very experienced in dealing with unwarranted matters. Not to mention, Di Qing and Wang Deyong were the best examples.
Those two were both privy envoys, highly respected ministers, and both had made great military exploits. Both of them were accused of treason without any evidence. There was also a period of popular sentiment at that time, especially for Di Qing. So what happened in the end? It's not all in the past.
Already?
In comparison, although Gao Qiu had accomplished the task of recovering Yan Yun this time, his official abilities and prestige were far from being comparable to Di Qing's. Di Qing was already dead, so he still lacked Gao Qiu?
As for the centuries-old imperial rituals of Zhao and Song Dynasties, being knocked to the ground by a Cuju player is a ridiculous thing that would not even be considered.
"Report——!"
However, at this moment, the chamberlain outside the palace hurriedly walked in and whispered: "Your Majesty, there are thieves outside the palace, and Commander Yang has something important to report!"
Zhao Ji was startled, and his face suddenly darkened: "Let him in!"
Soon the commander of Ban Zhi who was on duty walked into the palace and knelt down in front of Zhao Ji: "I pay homage to your Majesty!"
Zhao Ji, who is as benevolent as heaven, said sternly: "What is going on? Do those chaotic people dare to make noise outside the palace gate?"
Commander Ban Zhi paused, with a trace of unsuppressible trembling in his voice: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it's not the common people who are making trouble, it's Zuo Ming, the great rebel, who appears outside the palace with a group of traitors and seems to want to break in.
Ouchi!”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhao Ji was stunned at first, and then slowly stood up, not surprised but overjoyed: "Okay! Okay! Gao Qiu actually followed 'Zuo Ming'
Is there any connection? When he entered the prison, 'Zuo Ming' showed up? Catch him and let the whole world see if this is groundless!"
His voice became louder and louder as he spoke, and in the end it was almost a roar of filial piety. Liang Shicheng and the chambermaids had already been so frightened that they fell to their knees, and Commander Ban Zhi almost collapsed to the ground.
Zhao Ji was furious: "Go quickly!"
"According to the order!"
The conductor opened his mouth, stood up with all his strength, and walked out quickly.
Zhao Ji watched the back of the forbidden soldier and started walking excitedly: "'Zuo Ming' actually came on his own initiative and dared to break into the inner forbidden area and die, haha! He had never been caught before because the thief was well hidden.
Do you really think that you are invincible in the world?"
The expectant voices of the officials echoed in the hall, but Liang Shicheng quietly retreated to a corner, his expression gloomy and uncertain.
The news that "Zuo Ming" entered the battle to capture the Liao Emperor has not been fully spread yet. The Liao Army will naturally not take the initiative to publicize it. The Xiang Army who witnessed it with his own eyes is still consolidating its territory in Yanyun. Therefore, as far as Song Ting knows, he only knows
"Zuo Ming" appeared in front of Yanmen Pass.
Liang Shicheng knew very well how powerful the other party was. If this place was the Bianliang Palace, which was impregnable, with strong bows and crossbows, and was guarded at all levels, "Zuo Ming" would indeed not be able to get in. But the problem is that now the Song Dynasty Palace has changed, and the forbidden
Wei's condition is not satisfactory either!
A very simple truth, if even Zhao Ji, who enjoys the best treatment, feels unaccustomed to the climate, hot and humid, what will happen to the ordinary soldiers of the Forbidden Army who have lived in the north for a long time?
Therefore, according to Liang Shicheng's judgment, "Zuo Ming" was not so arrogant as to dare to break into the inner ban so boldly. The other party was at least sure of escaping unscathed.
"If the traitor really breaks into the imperial city and then leaves in a big way, once the news spreads all over the world, and the infamy of high demand before, what will happen, I simply can't imagine..."
"No matter what, it is the most dangerous thing to stay with His Majesty at this time. Whether it is being killed by the thieves or being vented by the angry Majesty, it is a word of death!"
"Go! Go quickly!"
He gritted his teeth and crept out. After leaving the main hall, he quickly got up and ran towards the harem.
Zhao Ji had indeed forgotten about Liang Shicheng. He was thinking about whether "Zuo Ming" had been caught and whether the other party had the Empress Dowager's Clothing Order in his hand. It was something that kept him awake at night. He would destroy it after getting it.
, can be regarded as completely destroying the evidence of matricide.
"Why haven't you come back yet..."
After waiting eagerly for two quarters of an hour, he even went to the outside of the palace to look into the distance. Zhao Ji looked grim and muttered to himself: "Thousands of squadrons, good terrain to defend, so many divine arm bows,
You won’t let the other party run away, right?”
Facts proved that he did not need to worry about the other party running away, because after half an hour, rapid footsteps finally sounded, and it was another commander who caught his eye.
Seeing the blood on the opponent's stomach, Zhao Ji's heart sank. Seeing the fear in the commander's expression again, the arrogance just now disappeared immediately, and he trembled: "You can't defeat the 200,000 Liao army, can you?
You can’t beat even one person?”
The commander's face was full of shame: "Your Majesty, after my squad arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, I was not suitable for the soil and water here, and many of them were seriously ill. There were only more than a thousand people guarding the palace. I wanted to bluff, but the 'Zuo Ming' trained one
The eagle that can fly at night saw us clearly. After charging in, he was unstoppable. It was only possible to stop him with the power of the palace and the power of bows and crossbows. Now he has surrounded the palace..."
At the end of the sentence, there was only a bang, and the commander knocked his head heavily on the ground, crying: "I will guard the palace gate of the inner city to ensure that it is not lost. I will support it until dawn and summon the imperial guards from the Beijing camp to come for reinforcements. I can only
That’s it, Your Majesty!”
Zhao Ji looked at him steadily, opened his mouth, but could not utter a single word. He slowly fell down on the dragon chair, and finally slid down like a puddle of mud.
