Han Jiang was not in the city. He was almost hijacked and could only leave in a hurry.
Why were they held hostage?
Because Han Jiang wanted to kill the Qingzhou garrison Guangruidu Yuhou Wu Kui, everyone in his army was armed with swords and wanted to kidnap Han Jiang and assassinate him when he was traveling. This was discovered by Han Jiang, which caused him to leave Qingzhou in a hurry
Zhoucheng.
At present, Gyeongju City is home to the governor of Gyeongju, Baowen Pavilion is waiting to be established, and Wang Guangyuan, the envoy of Huanqing Road Economic Strategy, is sitting here.
Wang Guangyuan once served as a transshipment judge in Hebei Province. When Su Che opposed Wang Anshi's Green Crops Law when he was in the Ordinance Department of the Third Division, Wang Anshi accepted Su Che's opinion and said he would consider it again.
As a result, after Wang Guangyuan heard about the Green Miao Law, he immediately took the initiative to implement the Green Miao Law in Hebei. Liu Xiang, the transshipment envoy in Hebei, did not lose the Qingmiao money, and the two started a lawsuit in front of the emperor.
Wang Anshi supported Wang Guangyuan.
Therefore, Wang Guangyuan succeeded Li Fugui, the former governor of Gyeongju, who was defeated in the war with Xixia, and became the governor of Gyeongju and the transit and pacification envoy on the Huanqing Road. His post was promoted from Zhilong Tuge to Baowen Pavilion to be made.
At night, Wang Guangyuan was discussing how to deal with Wu Kui with the two people on his left and right, namely Fan Chunren and Zhang Kai.
Zhang Kai was recommended by Zhang Yue, and now he serves as the Xuanfu Secretary, writing machine and writing.
Fan Chunren was dismissed from the post of Tongzhi Jianyuan because he opposed Wang Anshi's reform. However, Han Jiang had a good relationship with Fan Chunren, so Shangshu asked Fan Chunren to be appointed as the judge of the Xuanfu Division.
This incident made Wang Anshi very angry, and he once withdrew Han Jiang's order.
But in the end, after many twists and turns, Fan Chunren came to Xuanfu Division as a judge.
The three of them sat together to discuss how to deal with Wu Kui.
Fan Chunren said: "I know Xuan Xiang well. He has always been fond of good and disinclined to evil. When he was an admonisher, he was vigorous and resolute and never shied away from anything. Therefore, his remarks sometimes made sense and sometimes did not.
From what I have read, I know that Xuan Xiang’s heart is loyal and he is grateful for it and never says anything.”
"The same is true for Wu Kui now. I think Prime Minister Xuan was indeed hasty in handling this matter. The confrontation between the Qingzhou Fan army and the Han army did not occur in one day or two, but in the same way it was frozen three feet and not in one day."
Wang Guangyuan said: "But the mutiny is really hard to allow. Prime Minister Xuan had just worshiped him as Prime Minister Zhaowen. No one among the current civil servants respected him more. In the end, he was almost assassinated and kidnapped by a group of rebels. As a commander-in-chief, Wang
It is difficult to explain to the court."
"Besides, Qingzhou soldiers have always been arrogant. They almost colluded with the Qiang people to rebel at Liyuan Fort. How can we appease people's hearts if they are not dealt with severely and severely."
"Then the plan will be worked out?"
Wang Guangyuan said: "We can order Zhao Yuqing to lead eight thousand Tibetan troops into the city and slaughter all Guangrui's troops!"
Fan Chunren's expression changed when he heard this: "How can we do something like using the Tibetan army to massacre the Han army?"
Wang Guangyuan thought to himself that Fan Chunren was too soft-hearted and had the views of a scholar. He said: "You can think about it until it is absolutely necessary."
Fan Chunren shook his head and said: "No, before the matter is revealed, we must not kill these soldiers innocently."
Zhang Kai, who had been silent all this time, also said: "Mr. Fan, I also advocate that the rebellion should be put down immediately. At least the soldiers who are causing trouble should be disarmed first. Now there is a big war in Luowu. We must not start a fire in the backyard at this moment."
Fan Chunren shook his head and said: "As long as I am here, you will never do this. Using the Ban people to massacre the Han army is simply appalling. As for disarming, you will also lose your military morale."
At this time, someone reported from outside: "Longzhou Judge Zhang Zhi has something urgent to ask for!"
Hearing Zhang Zhi's arrival, Zhang Kai was a little surprised. Wasn't he an official in Longzhou? Why was he here suddenly?
Fan Chunren frowned when he heard that it was Zhang Zhi. Yes, he didn't like Zhang Zhi. Although he had never met him, he was Lu Gongzhu's son-in-law.
Lu Gongzhu was also the son of Lu Yijian. Lu Yijian and his father Fan Zhongyan were sworn political enemies.
So Fan Chunren didn't like Zhang Zhi either.
Fan Chunren asked: "What's the matter?"
"The other party refused to say anything. He only said that he wanted to see a few people."
Fan Chunren said: "It's so mysterious. How can I just say it and see it? It's too late. Let's talk about it tomorrow!"
Zhang Kai said: "It doesn't hurt to meet Judge Fan. Maybe there is something important?"
…
When Zhang Zhi arrived at the room, Wang Guangyuan also knew Zhang Zhi's background, but he was now Wang Anshi's confidant. Not to mention Zhang Zhi, even Mr. Lu didn't sell his face.
Wang Guangyuan asked calmly: "What's the matter?"
Zhang Zhi said: "I am here to avenge Wu Kui, the Marquis of Yu, the capital of Guangrui Army!"
Fan Chunren frowned and said, "Is this why you came here late at night?"
Zhang Zhi said: "Exactly, if Wu Kui is not released without guilt, there will be a great chaos in Qingzhou."
Fan Chunren said: "How can you, a foreign-state signer, know about the affairs of this state, and how dare you speak alarmist words?"
Zhang Zhi immediately told the truth what he learned in the military camp.
It turned out that Han Jiang misheard the words of the Tibetan general Wang Wenliang. Wang Wenliang suffered a defeat in the previous battle. As a result, he took the battle achievements of Guangrui Army and other Tibetan armies as his own, and instead put the blame on Wu Kui and others.
Han Jiang believed Wang Wenliang's words and put Wu Kui in prison.
Now the soldiers of Guangrui are angry and are contacting the garrison soldiers in other forts to rebel.
Fan Chunren said: "This is nonsense!"
Wang Guangyuan shook his head and said: "Whether this is true or not, let's just say that Wang Wenliang is currently serving in the army and is going through life and death for the imperial court, while Wu Kui lives peacefully behind."
"If Wu Kui is pardoned and Wang Wenliang is accused, the morale of the troops at the front will be unstable, and the imperial court will lose the battle to seize Hengshan. What should we do?"
Wang Guangyuan actually knew that Wu Kui was unyielding, but most of the troops sent to Lawu City were Tibetan troops.
Appeasing Wang Wenliang also appeased the morale of the Tibetan troops on the front line.
Zhang Kai also said: "Zhang Xuanfeng didn't know something. In order to send troops to Hengshan this time, the treasury of each state was empty. Even the supplies and monthly money originally allocated to the Han army garrison were given as rewards to the Tibetan army."
"Now the entire court is staring at Hengshan. The success or failure of the entire Song-Xia war depends on this battle. No matter whether Wu Kui was wronged or not, this is not the time to redress his grievances."
Fan Chunren also nodded.
It turns out that right or wrong is not the most important thing!
Zhang Zhi said: "What if the Guangrui army and the garrison troops in the forts are really in chaos?"
Wang Guangyuan said: "If you don't give me armor, you won't be afraid of chaos."
Zhang Zhi said: "Nowadays, people's hearts are boiling. They are really going to be in chaos. It doesn't matter whether they are given armor or not."
"How dare you! As an official from another state, how dare you talk nonsense about the affairs of this state and the Xuanfu Division?" Wang Guangyuan scolded.
Zhang Zhi looked at Fan Chunren and Wang Guangyuan. One was the son of Fan Wenzhenggong, who was famous all over the world, and the other was a pacifier with a large number of troops and a high position.
The status of both of them is far above Zhang Zhi.
But Zhang Zhi looked at the two of them without giving in at all and said, "I would like to ask you, if something happens, who among you will take the responsibility?"
Fan Chunren and Wang Guangyuan did not expect that such a small signing would be so dumbfounded.
Wang Guangyuan said: "How brave, even if your uncle is here, he doesn't dare to talk to us like this? What's the basis for a signature?"
Zhang pointed directly at Heaven: "It is the conscience of Heaven and Earth!"
