Chapter 119: Emperor Maode came to the palace to beg me, and ordered Uncle Zhang to guard against Song Jiang’s invasion at night
Zhao Ji was 90% happy about moving Cai Jing down and sending him to Dali Temple for trial and conviction. He was 90% happy to deal with Cai Jing, the leader of the Six Thieves of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the other 10% was regretful that he had talent but no virtue.
If someone is in a high position, the harm will be great!
After Zhao Ji finished handling the Cai Jing case, he did not return to Yanfu Palace or Genyue to enjoy himself like the original owner Song Huizong did, but continued to stay in Chuigong Hall to review the memorial...
Some of these piled up memorials were submitted months or days ago without any approval.
Most of the memorials that Zhao Ji saw were praising virtues, talking about the balance of the world, reporting good news but not bad news, for example, various auspicious signs that appeared in various places, such as "If the water of the Yellow River is clear, a saint will come out" etc...
Zhao Ji was not interested in these and gave instructions on these memorials respectively. From now on, there will be no need to submit such memorials praising virtue...
Among the many memorials, Zhao Ji finally found three that aroused his interest.
These three memorials were submitted by the magistrates of Qizhou, Puzhou and Bozhou respectively.
Zhao Ji saw that the magistrates in these three places all mentioned that thousands of bandits led by Song Jiang had attacked and invaded the prefectures and counties under their jurisdiction...
In the first year of Xuanhe, Song Jiang gathered thirty-six people to revolt in Liangshanluo (i.e. Liangshanbo). He led the crowd to attack Heshuo and Jingdong East Road, then moved to Qingzhou, Qizhou and Puzhou, and captured more than ten counties and cities... p>
"Songjiang starts from Heshuo and turns to ten counties..."
"Song Jiang's thirty-six men marched across the land, and there were tens of thousands of officers and soldiers who dared not resist..."
Zhao Ji looked at the memorial written by the magistrate of Qizhou and Puzhou,
He remembered that he had read "Water Margin" when he was in elementary school before time travel. When he grew up, he entered university and studied history. He knew that the Songjiang Uprising in the late Northern Song Dynasty really existed, but it was not written in the novel "Water Margin".
It's just that kind of justice.
In other words, the Song Jiang Uprising in "Water Margin" held high the flag of righteousness, robbing the rich and giving to the poor...
In real history, after the Songjiang Uprising, after conquering more than a dozen counties, they were indeed robbing the rich, but there was basically no record of helping the poor. If the Songjiang Uprising also helped the poor, then it was definitely for those who were willing to join the rebellion and follow the rebels.
People who attack and rob the city together...
Moreover, Zhao Ji knew that in real history, the number of generals (leaders) under Song Jiang was not as many as 108.
In the official history, there is no exact record of who the leaders of Song Jiang's army were. Gong Kai, a great painter in the late Song and early Yuan Dynasty, recorded in "Thirty-six People in Song Jiang and Preface" that there were three leaders in Song Jiang's uprising.
Sixteen people, and the names of these thieves leaders are recorded, such as:
Song Jiang, Wu Xuexue (Wu Yong), Lu Junyi, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Li Kui, as well as Ruan Xiaoqi, Liu Tang, Ruan Xiaoer, Dai Zong, Ruan Xiaowu, Guan Sheng...
The time traveler Zhao Ji decided to pacify the rogue bandits Song Jiang as soon as possible and not allow them to become bigger and stronger. As for after pacification, can they be allowed to conquer Fangla so that the two tigers can fight each other and lose their own money? Zhao Ji thought about it and felt that it was not practical.
If, as in history, the expedition to Fangla is scheduled to take place in the third year of Xuanhe next year, then there will really be time for Zhang Shuye to ambush and kill the deputy leader of the rebel army in the future. Song Jiang's rebel army was
Then they accepted the recruitment. Then, they were transferred to participate in the battle of Fangla...
However, in that case, leaving Fang La alone in the uprising and waiting until the more threatening Fang La uprising becomes more powerful before trying to quell it will naturally be more gain than loss...
In other words, the Song Jiang Uprising was ultimately just bandit robbery and nothing to be afraid of.
But the Fang La Uprising was different. It had great ambitions to seize the country.
Therefore, the first priority is to quell the Fangla Uprising, which is also in line with Zhuge Liang's strategic policy of "reconciling the internal situation before fighting against the outside world".
Zhao Ji carefully looked through the memorial of Hou Meng, the governor of Bozhou...
"I, Hou Meng, the magistrate of Bozhou, sent a report to Your Majesty:
Today, Song Jiang leads thousands of thieves to repeatedly invade several counties under Bozhou's jurisdiction, breaking into county towns and robbing grain and money...
The officers and soldiers went to encircle and suppress them, and the thieves all fled.
The officers and soldiers were tired of long-distance pursuits, and the thieves were good at escaping, but they could not decide the outcome.
Therefore, the army could not annihilate Song Jiang's group of thieves...
Your Majesty, your Majesty, Hou Meng, would like to inform you that there are strategies for recruiting peace against the bandits in Songjiang River...
If Song Jiang is not summoned to peace, the imperial court can send a large army to attack and pacify it..."
Zhao Ji responded to the memorial to Hou Meng, the magistrate of Bozhou, and said: "I am accurate in the memorial."
In fact, Zhao Ji knew that bandits like Song Jiang must be beaten hard first to make them know how powerful Chao Yan was before they could successfully recruit them.
Historically, the original owner of Zhao Ji's body, Song Huizong, also adopted the advice of Hou Meng, the magistrate of Bozhou, and recruited people to cross the Songjiang River. However, the first recruitment failed.
However, according to historical development, in February of the third year of Xuanhe, Song Jiang led the bandit army to fight south and attacked Huaiyang...
Later, in May, a group of bandits from Song Jiang took a boat from Shuyang to Haizhou. After Song Jiang led his troops to land, they were ambushed by the troops led by Zhang Shuye, the magistrate of Haizhou. The ship was burned. Song Jiang was defeated and the rebels accepted the recruitment...
…
Thinking of this, Zhao Ji took up his pen and wrote an imperial edict, which he sent to Zhang Shuye, the magistrate of Haizhou, instructing him to train the Haizhou Xiang army and prepare armaments to prevent theft and thieves and bandit troops.
If an army of bandits invades, it is necessary to attack them head-on first, and then take measures to recruit them...
…………
Zhao Ji was handling government affairs in Chuigong Hall, reviewing memorials...
This made the eunuchs and maids in the palace feel very strange, but they did not dare to criticize it.
He could only exclaim in his heart: Zhao Guan's family has changed its past habit of ignoring government affairs. Are they going to work hard to become stronger?
……
Outside the palace, the charioteers and servants left behind by Cai Jing before entering the palace were all a little panicked because they had not seen Master Cai coming out of the palace for a long time...
After inquiring, Cai Jing's followers found out that Taishi Cai was actually accused of crimes by his eldest son Cai You in the Chuigong Hall in front of the officials. Now Zhao Guan has sent Taishi Cai to Dali Temple for trial...<

"Oops, something bad is going to happen!"
"I'm waiting, but what should I do?"
"Why are you still waiting here for the Grand Master? Go back to the Grand Master's Mansion quickly and report this huge matter to the young masters of the Grand Master's Mansion!"...
The servants Cai Jing left outside the imperial city immediately panicked. They felt as if the sky was falling and returned to the Taishi Mansion in a panic...
Under normal circumstances, Cai Jing's five sons in the Taishi Mansion should work in their respective yamen.
However, after Cai Jing conspired with the disciples last night, he decided to let all five sons take a day off to stay in the house when he went to the palace to meet Zhao Guan's family.
In order to be able to wait for him, the grand master who has become an official, to discuss what to do next after entering the palace and returning to the palace...
However, the five sons of Cai Jing in the Grand Master's Mansion did not wait for Grand Master Cai to return to the mansion. Instead, they were greeted by dozens of accompanying servants who were running out of breath, out of breath, and panicked...
When Cai Chi was about to be restrained in the Xuanhe Hall, he asked urgently: "Where is my father?"
"Too...Too...Master," the servant who replied was so nervous that he stammered and said:
"The grand master was...carried away by officials...and escorted to Dali Temple...for trial..."
The servants told Cai Jing's five sons the news that Master Cai was sent to Dali Temple for trial because his eldest son Cai You had exposed his crimes...
It's like a loud "boom"!
After hearing the shocking news, the five sons who stayed in the Taishi Mansion felt like they were hit by a thunderbolt from the blue, and their heads were buzzing...
They had gone through the current fate of Gao Qiu and Wang Fu, and had also considered whether the Zhao Guan family, which had suddenly become very powerful and centralized, would take action against their father, who had been in power for many years.
Will the Cai family of the Taishi Mansion, like Gao Qiu and Wang Fu, become a thorn in the side of the Zhao Guan family?!
In fact, they all showed a relatively optimistic attitude in their secret conversation with their father Cai Jing last night. There are three main reasons:
First, the relationship between their father and the Zhao Guan family is very deep;
The second is that their father has already retired (retired) and will not pose a threat to the monarchy like Gao Qiu and Wang Fu in high positions.
Thirdly, their father and Zhao Guan’s family are related to each other!
Not only did the five sons think so before, but Master Cai himself, who saw that there would be big changes in the court, after analyzing the situation and deciding on three countermeasures,
Cai Jing, who thought that Zhao Guan's family treated him relatively calmly, went to the palace to see Zhao Guan's family with his masterpiece of calligraphy.
Cai Jing’s disciples discussed anxiously and said:
"Alas! What should I do?"
"Father, how come you were arrested by Zhao Guan's family and sent to Dali Temple for trial?"
"I heard from the servants that our 'good' eldest brother Cai You revealed many evidences of my father's crimes to the officials..."
"Hmph! This Cai You should be expelled from my Cai family's genealogy from today on."
"Cai You, you are worse than a beast! From today on, you are not our brother."
"Right now, we must first think about how to rescue our father! The beast Cai You, we will discuss it later and scold him, it's not too late!"
The sons left by Cai Jing in the Taishi Mansion were extremely anxious and discussed countermeasures:
"Father, of the three strategies you have made with us, haven't the best and middle strategies been successful?"
"It's unknown!"
"Now, I can only use the strategy that my father decided. I wonder if it is possible?"
"Now, we have no other choice but to make this move!"
At this point, the four brothers all turned their pleading eyes to Cai Jing's fifth son, Cai Chi, who was to be controlled by Xuanhe Hall.
"My dear brother, please go back to your room quickly and kneel down to beg Maode Di Ji," Cai Chen said and then paused. He thought that a few days ago, Zhao Guan's family had changed the title of "Emperor Ji" back to the original title of "Princess". Cai Chen lightly slapped himself in the face and continued: "I made a mistake. It should be that my dear brother, please go back to your room, kneel down and beg Emperor Maode to carry out the plan decided by my father!"
Cai Chi's tears were still wet, and he naturally understood the principle of "everything will be prosperous, and everything will suffer." Moreover, when his father Cai Jing was imprisoned, he cut down the towering tree that could protect Cai's family from wind and rain!
Cai Chi hurriedly said: "Brother, don't worry, I will go back to the room to beg the princess, carry my youngest son into the palace, and beg the officials to forgive my father's sins."
……
Zhao Ji, who had been reviewing in the Chuigong Hall for more than half an hour, except that he saw several memorials about Song Jiang bandits in the memorial, which he focused on reviewing,
He only glanced at the other memorials that eulogized others, and then approved that "such memorials do not need to be submitted..."
Zhao Ji has not seen the news about the Southeast Nan La Uprising in the memorial. This should be because the road is two thousand miles away. It is impossible to send the news about the Southeast Nan La Uprising to Bianliang, Tokyo within a few days of Fan La's uprising.
Come.
…………
"Let's report to the official family." The eunuch who delivered the report said: "Princess Maode holds her young son in her arms and asks to see the official family."
Zhao Ji frowned and knew that the original owner of his body, his favorite fifth daughter Maode Emperor Ji (now renamed Princess Maode), was married to Cai Jing's fifth son Cai Ji, who was to be made in the Xuanhe Palace.<
/p>
Zhao Ji can use his knees to figure out why I have just arrested Grand Master Cai Jing, Cai Jing’s daughter-in-law, and my fifth daughter, Princess Maode, asking to see me.
It must be to plead for Cai Jing.
The time traveler Zhao Ji uses the body of the original owner Song Huizong, and still has some feelings for the children left behind by the original owner.
What's more, the time traveler Zhao Ji knows that in history, the name of Emperor Maode was so great that both Song and Jin histories recorded her.
Zhao Ji still remembers it and read it in history books:
‘During the Jingkang Incident, the 25-year-old Emperor Maode was taken prisoner to the Jin camp and passed on to many Jin generals and prime ministers of the Jin Kingdom...
Maode Diji remarried to Wanyan Zongwang, the second prince of the Jin Dynasty;
After Wanyan Zongwang died of illness, he remarried Wanyan Xiyin, the prime minister of the Jin Dynasty. In August of the sixth year of Tianhui (1128 AD), in Wanyan Xiyin's camp, Emperor Maode died of a "valley road rupture". She was only twenty years old.
Six years old.'
The humiliating record of Emperor Maode in the history books was that she was humiliated by Jin Jiang and Jin Xiang for more than a year, and the valley road burst and died...
When Han people read this, they will feel endless humiliation and resentment, and even develop a desire for revenge...
When Zhao Jisi arrived here, he wanted to plan a good future for his beloved daughter, the original owner of his body. Of course, the premise is that he, as a time traveler, must lead the Song Dynasty and defeat the powerful Jin army...
Zhao Jidao: "Password, I am summoning Princess Maode in Chuigong Palace."
……
Zhao Fujin, the beautiful, graceful and graceful Princess Maode who loved the Zhao family the most, walked into the Chuigong Hall with her one-year-old infant Cai Yu in her arms, knelt down and knelt down to worship: p>
"My father may live a long life and be well, and may I pay my respects to my father with blessings and gold."
That is to say, Princess Maode, Zhao Fujin, dared to call herself by her nickname when she met her father, who loved her the most.
After Zhao Ji met Princess Maode, he felt that the daughter left to me by the original owner of his body was so beautiful and had a very good figure...
If she hadn't been holding an infant baby in her arms, anyone who saw her would have thought she was a beautiful girl of eighteen or nineteen.
In fact, Princess Maode, Zhao Fujin, who is now the second year of Xuanhe, is only nineteen years old.
Zhao Ji sighed in his heart: My most beautiful princess, Zhao Fujin, married the fifth son of the treacherous minister Cai Jing, Cai Chi, who is in charge of the Xuanhe Palace. What the heck, she even gave birth to a child!
Yue Lao really took the wrong red line!
Otherwise...
As a time traveler, I will definitely marry my favorite daughter, Princess Maode, to that great hero who is famous in history, loyal, brave, patriotic, and indomitable to fight against the Jin Dynasty...
Think about it, they are quite similar in age now...
Zhao Ji felt that he could only imagine whether Princess Maode could find a good family again.
Zhao Jidao: "Fu Jinping, the child will be handed over to the palace maid to hold.
I haven’t seen Fu Jin for a long time, and I miss him very much.
Fujin, please come to me and let me take good care of you!"
