Chapter 864: Dun: The Song Dynasty finally had no way to save it...
"Fake! It's all fake!!"
Zhao Ji curled up on the dragon chair, trembling all over, and did not dare to get down for a moment.
It seemed that only this throne, which symbolized the Nine-Fifth Master, could bring him some sense of security.
The thing I was most worried about finally happened.
When the imperial edict on clothes and belts was not found on the body of Guo Kai, a close confidant of the Empress Dowager, Zhao Ji felt that he was going to suffer. Later, when he heard that it had fallen into the hands of "Zuo Ming", he let Gao Qiu take charge of the Imperial City Division, regardless of everything.
This great rebellion must be eliminated.
However, later, "Zuoming" did not directly announce the clothing edict. Zhao Ji thought about it carefully and felt that the other party must be worried that if he announced it, he would not be able to win the trust of the public, but he felt a little relieved.
It's good now, it will be announced directly by King Jian.
What a pity, even though he set up a scheme to get King Jian to launch a coup and then frame the Queen Mother Xiang's death on him, he was not the one who set the fire in Prince Jian's palace at all!
Now that he has been charged with the crime of killing his mother and killing his brother, in addition to moving the capital to the south, negotiating peace with the Liao Dynasty, and framed Zhongliang, a stupid king who killed his mother and killed his brother has done all kinds of things. Even Zhao Ji can't excuse himself.
Damn, it’s really unreasonable...
But he still didn't want to do this. There was a ferocious look in his eyes. He looked around and suddenly roared: "Which of you can kill Zhang Dun for me? If you kill Zhang Dun, I will be rewarded heavily. I will crack the soil and make you the king! Break the soil and make you the king!"
!”
When this voice echoed in the palace, the chambermaids and maidservants were so frightened that they all knelt down and trembled even more than he did.
"These people are not good at all..."
As soon as Zhao Ji said those words, he actually regretted them.
Tong Guan, Yang Jian, Jia Xiang and others in the inner court died early. Later, Master Liang had a bad idea and fled directly. These outstanding eunuchs were slowly honed in the fiercely competitive environment of the harem, and they were able to
If you are entrusted with a big task, the remaining servants will simply not be able to do it.
What's more, Zhang Dun still held military power at this time.
This old and strong husband would not be manipulated by others. Immediately after he was reinstated, he found Zhe Keshi and Zhongshi Dao who were released from prison. Through these two old generals, the remaining
The Western Army was firmly in control, and even the Ban Zhi guards in the palace had no idea how many of them obeyed orders.
On the other hand, when He Zhizhong resigned from the foreign court and returned home, the officials of the Jiangnan faction were reduced to a scattered mess. There were endless calls from the court to "please kill the powerful Prime Minister Zhang Dun", and many censors even identified him as being in cahoots with Yan Yunlin Chonghang.
Treacherous and sycophantic, but those were just words, and Chen Guan, the censor Zhongcheng, was really imprisoned.
Zhang Dun showed an iron-fisted approach to governance, and said there would be no party struggle if there was no party struggle. Anyone who dared to confront him at this time would be doomed.
So Zhao Ji regretted his impulsiveness and hurriedly came to the chamberlain and palace maids: "If you dare to spread what I just said, even if I am deposed, the new king will not tolerate people who cheat and cheat. Do you understand?"
The chamberlain and maidservants nodded in fear.
Zhao Ji smiled again: "You are my confidants, I will treat you well, don't betray me, okay?"
Seeing his distorted expression, the chambermaids and maids became even more frightened and trembled.
"Hehe...hehehe! Get out, get out!"
Zhao Ji laughed, his laughter was so captivating that he waved his sleeves.
One after another figures suddenly ran out in embarrassment, leaving only despair filling the vast palace. The Emperor of the Song Dynasty laughed nervously for a long time, and finally fell to his knees, blood slowly flowing out from the corners of his mouth: "After all, I am betrayed by everyone.
It’s over!”
…
"My lord, this kind of foolish monarch who kills his mother and betrays his relatives must be abolished!"
Just as Zhao Ji thought, at this time Zhe Keshi and Zhong Shidao had already stood in front of Zhang Dun and made a request.
In the past, when Zhang Dun went to the northwest to fight Xixia, these two old generals had led troops under his command. Naturally they were overjoyed to see this new prime minister.
Sure enough, once Zhang Dun took power, the situation immediately became different. Not only did the Forbidden Army in the south of the Yangtze River attack repeatedly and wipe out the surrounding areas, Guo Kang took the post of training envoy and went to various states and counties to persuade the rebels to surrender. Various promises have now been gathered.
An army of one hundred thousand thieves.
These 100,000 thieves were originally used to fight against the Song Ting, but now they were used by the Song Ting. In a short period of time, they entered and exited, and the miraculous effect was visible.
The situation was not going to be great at first, but at least there was light at the end of the tunnel. The move of Feng Wang from the north was a clever and cost-effective plan. However, the appearance of King Jian and the Yidai Zhao fell like a bolt from the blue.
His younger brother, holding his mother's belt edict, went to join the rebels, reported his brother's crime of matricide, and asked the rebels to punish the people. This is not a betrayal of relatives, but what is a betrayal of relatives and divorce?
When they were imprisoned by Zhao Ji, although they were sad and angry, they did not say anything about deposing the emperor. But now they could no longer bear it. The emperor is the king and father of all people, how can he recognize a patricide as his father?
Compared to the excitement of the two old generals, Zhang Dun's face was very calm. There was a deep sorrow in his eyes, but his tone was very firm: "Don't believe what the north says, this dress edict is fake, Your Majesty.
Without his mother-killing, King Jian would have been bribed by the Lin thieves, and he would have become the son of a rebellious minister!"
Zhe Keshi suddenly changed his color: "Zhang Xiang, how can you speak for that foolish king?"
Master Zhongdao said sadly: "Xiang Zhang, why do you have to bear this eternal infamy?"
Zhang Dun waved his hand and asked all the people on his left and right to retreat, and then slowly said: "I am definitely not going to bear the eternal infamy for disobeying the Hunjun, but I have to do this. Take a look at these military affairs."
The two took it, looked at it quickly, frowned, and concluded: "The Fang thieves stopped expanding, built the Jinghu defense line, assumed a defensive posture, and sent envoys to Sichuan, Shu, and Hanzhong to seek alliances?"
Zhang Dun said: "The threat of Fang La is more than expected. I originally thought that this person was just a puppet pushed out by the cult and was not something to be afraid of. Now it seems that the Ming Zun Sect is probably controlling him. That threat
Sex is very different!"
"I came back too late. The rebels in various places committed many crimes. They killed officials and wreaked havoc in the place. They harmed countless people. Those officials have colleagues in the officialdom and the people also have relatives in the local area. Don't you hate them deeply?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "In order to control thieves with thieves, I have to promise high-ranking officials and generous salaries, which will inevitably cause huge dissatisfaction in the army. The sacrifice of soldiers' lives is not as bad as murder and arson."
If the recruitment goes on for a long time, the hatred will accumulate, and once it breaks out, the consequences will be disastrous!"
When Zhang Dun knew that Song Jiang and his party were very dissatisfied with Guo Kang's reward, there were countless soldiers like Song Jiang in the army who had made great achievements but did not receive fair treatment. They were overtaken by a group of rebels, and the hidden dangers could be imagined.
Know.
Zhe Keshi and Zhong Shidao are veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles, and they naturally understand the key. Hearing this, his face became heavy: "In this way, Fang La turned from offense to defense, just waiting for us to have internal turmoil and destroy ourselves without attacking."
?”
Zhang Dun nodded: "Yes, judging from this person's rule in the Jinghu area, he has also made plans before taking action, and gathered momentum before taking action!"
"Just like the Lin bandit who ruled Yanyun for a whole year until the people's hearts became attached to him, he then went south to rebel. It can be said that he was working step by step. Fang La also waited for a year after all parties were in turmoil before he raised the flag of rebellion, called himself Holy Duke, appointed officials and generals, and established
regime……"
"We cannot treat him as an ordinary thief, this person is in danger of being trapped in the Yellow Nest!"
With Zhe Keshi's eyes solemn, Huang Chao rushed into Chang'an and directly dragged the crumbling Tang Dynasty into the final abyss.
However, Zhong Shidao thought that it was not Huang Chao who ended the Tang Dynasty. In this case, the real crisis lies in the north.
But Zhang Dun changed his name to the one in the north, and obviously no longer expected to be crowned king. He also no longer regarded the north as his opponent because he couldn't beat him at all.
For the current plan, we can only pacify the south first, and see if we can rely on the natural dangers of the Yangtze River to rule the river and barely save half of the country. He asked: "With the training of the navy, can it match Fang La's bandit army?"
Zhe Keshi and Zhong Shidao looked at each other and whispered: "We are not sure..."
The Western Army is no longer the Western Army in its heyday. They are famous generals, but they are not all-rounders.
There are waters in the northwest, but they have nothing to do with naval warfare. They have never had experience in this area. Now they are rushing to do it and fighting against the locals in the south. They really don't have much confidence.
Zhang Dun was not surprised and sighed softly: "So at this time, do you still want to depose the emperor?"
Zhe Keshi and Zhong Shidao fell silent, feeling a surge of heartache that they felt.
People like Zhang Dun, Zhe Keshi, and Zhong Shidao wanted to protect the century-old power of Zhao and Song Dynasty from beginning to end, not Zhao Ji.
But at this moment, Zhao Ji is already equivalent to Zhao Song.
The relationship between the king of a country is too great. The succession of a king in peacetime may cause shocks to the country and be taken advantage of by those with evil intentions. What's more, the south is now full of wars and rebels are everywhere. A country in turmoil is...
They cannot afford the turmoil of the old emperor being deposed and the new emperor ascending the throne.
Not to mention that King Jian has already voted for Yanyun, and the other sons of Shenzong are indeed not suitable to inherit the great treasure. Even if a dear minister, Yuan Xiaoren, and a wise king who can love the people like his own son succeeds to the throne at this time, it will not be suitable.
There was no time at all, and there was no chance for the new monarch to show his strength.
In addition, there are still some die-hard elements who are loyal to Zhao and Song Dynasty. They don't believe anything the outside world says. If Zhao Ji is deposed, it is equivalent to acknowledging the content of the Yidai Edict. Then King Jian's move to surrender to Yanyun
, also means that it is the one from the north who is destined to be destined. What is there to resist next? The whole country surrenders...
Zhang Dun stood up, bowed deeply to the two veterans, and said firmly: "The century-old foundation of Zhao and Song is about to be destroyed in one day. How can I sit back and watch if I have been waiting for Song Lu for a long time? Whether it is stupid loyalty or infamy, I will bear it."
Yes! After destroying the Fang thieves, the south of the Yangtze River can be secured, and we can have a chance to defeat the Central Plains in the north, take back Bianjing, and restore our homeland. For the frontline battle, I leave it to the two generals!!"
Zhe Keshi and Zhong Shidao knelt down on one knee and said categorically: "We will destroy the traitors and live up to our trust!!"
Zhang Dun helped the two men up and watched them leave with a sonorous step. He let out a long sigh, and the determination he had just lost was gone.
Despair filled the small room. The Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty covered his forehead in pain, and blood slowly flowed from the corners of his mouth: "The Song Dynasty has no way to save himself!"
