It was said that they were going to the dungeon, but no one would let the officials go to such a dirty place. Instead, it took a few days to bring Shao Long and Liang Xing to the imperial court. This was not because Yang Yizhong was being too cautious, but because
From Liu Ziyu to the jailer, everyone in Chang'an hated these two people. They had not died in the past month purely because there were still problems that had not been solved. When they were first raised, they were almost inhuman form. They had to be raised before they could barely see people.
It was noon at this time. Zhao Jiu looked at the two and found that they were completely different. Shao Long's typical passerby's face would not be immediately lost in the crowd. Liang Xing's eyes were like lightning, and his eyebrows were divided.
With a body of nine feet and a frame, he has the demeanor of Han Shizhong. But no matter what, he was wearing prison clothes and handcuffs at this time. Facing the officials, he could not show off any dignity.
As the chief judge, Yang Yizhong naturally spoke first: "Guan Jia, these are the confessions of the two of them in the past few months. Combined with the testimonies of their subordinates, they should be unbiased."
Zhao Jiu glanced at it hurriedly and sighed: "I said that you are all commanders and you can write secret letters to me. You should be able to read and pronounce. There are so many records in the book about such simple provocations.
Did you fall into the trap? No matter what, you should never have caused such a terrible disaster."
Shao Long lowered his head and groaned, but Liang Xingzhi said: "Officials, the secret letters written by me are more than a hundred words long. It is true that important announcements are all written by ghostwriters."
Zhao Jiu was speechless. Are you so proud even though you are illiterate? He said bluntly: "You still want to follow King Wei. King Wei's background is not as good as yours. He takes time to read and write on his own. You are so mindless.
As soon as Shao Long invited you or a soldier of unknown origin fooled you, you went to Lishan Mountain to practice. No wonder Yue Pengju didn't want you!"
These words hit Liang Xing's pain point. Such an extravagant man turned red and had veins. However, after saying this, Zhao Jiu felt it was boring. If Yue Fei was used as a standard, not many of the 200,000 imperial soldiers could do it.
left.
And Ma Kuo would also feel uncomfortable. After all, apart from the refugees from Hebei, the largest source of soldiers for the Yue Family Army was also the reorganized rebels from the Left Behind Division in Tokyo. How come Yue Fei didn't cause any trouble with him?
Again, Yue Fei is the upper limit and cannot be easily used to demand others. If they were all on the same level as the Yue Family Army, the Zhao Guan Family would have dared to cross the river a few years ago.
Therefore, he stopped talking nonsense and finally asked, "Are you sure you don't know that sorcerer and counselor can't be found? The Imperial City Department has already checked it out. The origins are all false, and you didn't ask about them back then?"
Shao Long finally spoke and said: "Guan family, we have also heard people say that the witchcraft in the ancient Chu country was very powerful. The man claimed to have inherited it from the Jin Dynasty. He calculated that the things he did in his early years hurt Yinwu, even if he followed him over the years.
The King of Jin defended his territory and killed the enemy, but he had no sons. If he wanted to forgive his sin, he had to use evil spirits to exorcise the devil. I, I am also confused. Seeing how accurately he described the events in his early years, how did my brother die?
Everyone knows it, but I was afraid of making him unhappy, so I didn’t dare to ask about the origin.”
Zhao Jiu finally couldn't help but scolded: "What did you do back then? Is it a secret? What your brother did was indeed pity and respectable, but you suspected that your subordinates had betrayed you, and you actually killed so many of your own people. If it hadn't been for Shao Yan
I protect you again and again, but I can't tolerate you until now. You will end up like Yang Zheng and Shao Qing. Do you believe this kind of magic stick? This did not attract any heirs, but it caused your brother-in-law and three nephews to die.
.”
Shao Long's face became even whiter, and he quickly kowtowed and said: "In the official family, I will be cut into pieces with a thousand swords to atone for my sins. Please consider that my brother also died for the country, spare my brothers and sisters, and don't let my family be destroyed."
Incense. Even though I am dead, I still remember your majesty’s kindness.” After saying that, he kowtowed hard with an iron chain. Seeing this, Liang Xing hurriedly followed.
It turns out that after the Jingkang Incident, the Shao Long brothers also recruited rebels to resist in Yuncheng, Hedong (today's Yuncheng, Shanxi). Due to the brutality of the Jin army, Shao Long and others continued to grow in strength. The local Jin soldiers were frightened and fearful of being raided by the rebels, so they paid a lot of money to bribe them.
Internal personnel of the rebel army. Due to the traitor's betrayal, his brother Shao Yi was captured by the Jin soldiers and escorted to the front of the battle. Wanyan Saba asked Shao Long to surrender quickly, otherwise Shao Yi would be killed.
As the saying goes, real gold is not afraid of fire. His younger brother was in front of the battle. Shao Long did not compromise at all. He took the lead and impulsively entered the battle with a spear. The rebel army's morale was greatly boosted. They also stepped forward to fight. One by one, they all fought back the golden soldiers. Wanyan Sa
Ba had no choice but to direct his anger at Shao Yi and break him to death. Everyone who saw it was heartbroken.
Later, in order to strengthen the anti-Jin forces, Shao Long endured his sadness and led his troops to defect to Li Yanxian, and continued to operate near Zhongtiao Mountain to contain the Jin soldiers from going south.
If the story develops to this point, Zhao Jiu will only be in awe of Shao Long, but the war is cruel in every aspect. Shao Long, who lost his younger brother, killed more than 50 generals who might have betrayed him, and even the women and children were not spared. In fact,
After violating Zhao Jiu's bottom line, Li Yanxian gave him a chance after repeatedly guaranteeing that there were too many things going on between Jingkang and Jianyan and that he had now changed.
Now even Xin Wenyu, who was standing behind Zhao Guanjia, was speechless. You have been leading troops for more than ten years. You must have logic even if you are not educated. The officials really want to kill you, so why bother chatting with you here for a long time? You are also implicating your relatives.
The official has been in office for more than ten years, but he has never done anything like this!
Of course, he had not spent a month in panic, and he could not understand the panic and regret of these people. As expected, the anti-gold hero became a treason suspect, everyone shouted to kill, the dungeon was dark, and the mentality was unbalanced.
normal.
However, Zhao Jiu did not like to scare people, and directly pronounced the sentence, "You two idiots have so many soldiers under your command. I am really worried about it. Let's do this. You will deprive yourself of all positions and titles, and go back and tell the five thousand rebels that there are already troops near Chang'an."
There is no place for them anymore. I have decided to let King Ma Xing directly lead them to continue the drill near Hengshan. I know that these people were brought out by you. You must make them obey King Xing's discipline arrangements. If anyone deliberately causes trouble,
Then I won’t be so easy to talk to.”
Shao Long and Liang Xing were stunned for a moment. They both kept a strange posture of kneeling and bending over. Zhai Biao couldn't help it and urged: "The official spared your life, why don't you thank me quickly?"
Zhao Jiu said angrily: "You can be exempted from death penalty, but you cannot escape from living crime. Otherwise, I can't explain it. You all go to Li Shifu's department in Datong to do hard labor for an indefinite period of time." I can get it back at any time if I want.
Only then did the two people react, almost in disbelief, and it took a moment before they thanked each other with tears in their eyes. Then they were escorted away by Yang Yizhong, and Zhai Biao asked: "Guan, you really let them go like this, is this?
They collided with the imperial driver, and so many people died."
Zhao Jiu ignored him, thinking that he would not let them go, and characterized the matter as an accident. How could I let Ma Kuo go? I couldn't really send him to Hainan to drink coconut juice, right?
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the twelfth year of Jianyan, the Zhao Guan family announced the punishment of all relevant personnel in this incident in the form of an imperial edict.
Liu Ziyu was suspended from office for half a year, and Tong Shan and other subordinates handled government affairs on his behalf.
King Xing Ma enlarged all the households and led the rebel army to Hengshan for training.
Liang Xing and Shao Long were exempted from death penalty and forced to do hard labor, and all their titles were revoked. However, considering their contribution to the fight against the Jin Dynasty, their family members were not included in the exile.
Hu Shijiang was fined by Zhao for three months and his casual officials were demoted.
The merits and demerits of Quduan are equal to each other.
Presumably knowing that Tokyo would be dissatisfied, Zhao Jiu sent a private message back to Mi Ge, "If a big fish doesn't take the bait, just wait and see, don't follow the usual rules."
-----Small theater extra----
At this time of the New Year in the twelfth year of Jianyan, a big event happened. What was it? On his way to inspect Chang'an City, Song Shizu Zhao Jiu had to pass by Lishan Mountain. That is the scenic spot that we are very familiar with, and then
Well, some rioters instigated nearby rebels to perform martial arts in the dark. Pay attention, they didn't expect that it would be such a coincidence that Shizu's team would catch up. In feudal society, this is called attacking the Holy Driver.
You can't go too far. This incident was called the "Lishan Rebellion" in history.
Therefore, not to mention the two rebel leaders at that time, even the senior officials in the entire Shaanxi region felt that they were going to be in bad luck.
However, the difference between this wise king and ordinary emperors is reflected here. Song Shizu had to deal with it, otherwise it would not be encouraging others to commit assassinations! But his treatment was very light, that is, he handed over all the rebels to Ma Kuo and took them to Hengshan
Going into exile can also be said to continue to train troops. Because these rebels were raised by Liang Xing and Shao Long, he did not kill these two people for the sake of the overall situation, so as to win over people's hearts.
The Tokyo Secret Pavilion was quite dissatisfied with this matter at the beginning. Even Hu Yin and Li Guang, the former imperial censors who had been transferred to the post, expressed strong opinions. However, the facts proved that Zhao Jiu's decision was very wise. He not only created the world
The earliest field army within the scope also further weakened the military's vassalization, and more importantly, paralyzed the real culprit, so that later the real big fisher was captured, and no one dared to challenge his authority during his decades in office. He also really
He achieved "equalizing land to households" in the southeastern region where resistance was greatest. This policy was well implemented until the middle period of his grandson Wuzong's reign, so later revolutionaries generally rated him higher than ordinary emperors.
The following is what some celebrities throughout the ages have said about this person:
Zhu Xi: The late emperor measured the world, and no one could measure it.
Meng Gong: Emperor Shizu left this strong army in the wilderness as a plan for eternity. We should guard the border to guard the bandits, capture and kill the chiefs, use our troops to defeat the enemy, and show our authority outside the territory. My lords, today, we will advance but not retreat.
Ma Zhiyuan: The ancestors could accommodate King Xing, but now His Majesty cannot tolerate Yi Juzi?
Yu Qian: Although the times are difficult, they are not as good as those during the Jianyan period. Although the power of Heaven has been damaged, it is not as good as the changes in Lishan Mountain.
Wang Shouren: I dare not speak out about the heart of Emperor Shizu of the Song Dynasty, but his love for the people shines brightly in the annals of history.
Sun Wen: Song Shizu Zhao Jiu is one of the people I admire most, because as an emperor, he treated the people with the greatest kindness and never treated them as slaves.
