Yun Zheng is now absolutely sure that Cui Da went south regardless of the ice and snow obstacles just to kill the king!
Yun Zheng could even imagine that this guy's substitute would definitely stay at Yanmen Pass. When everyone thought he was in the north, he quietly sneaked back to Tokyo City to kill the king!
He looks very fat now. He is not the handsome Cui Da that everyone knows. This guy had already started planning to kill the king when he stayed in Xijing City.
The only people who have seen him gain weight are Chen Lin, Wang Anshi, Su Xun, and Yun Zheng, and these four people will probably stay in the wasteland for a long time.
There has never been a shortage of regicides in history!
Since Qin Shihuang unified China, there have been hundreds of emperors, and at least 30% of them died at the hands of regicides.
One of the two emperors of the Qin Dynasty died at the hands of his subordinates.
On a dark and stormy night for a month, the 23-year-old young emperor Ying Hu Hai was in Wangyi Palace on the southeast outskirts of the capital Xianyang, praying to God to bless the Qin Dynasty in peace and security, and to eliminate the thieves early so that he could enjoy the honor of the world forever.
A time of eternal dominion and blessing.
Suddenly there were bursts of shouting and fighting outside.
In Hu Hai's surprise, a group of men with open flames and dazzling swords and halberds rushed in front of him. The leader was Yan Le, the son-in-law of the Prime Minister Zhao Gao, the mayor of the capital, whom he had always trusted.
Ying Hu Hai was shocked and angry, and summoned his left and right people to put down the rebellion, but the only remaining people on his left and right were too scared to take action.
Yan Le stepped forward and said loudly: "You are arrogant and self-willed, and you kill without justice. The whole world has betrayed you. You should end it yourself!"
Hu Hai said in fear: "Can I see the Prime Minister?"
Yan Le said: "No."
Hu Hai said: "If I don't want to be an emperor, can I be a little prince?"
"Can't!"
"Instead of being a county king, is it okay to be a small Marquis of Ten Thousand Households?"
"Can't!"
"Then, let my wife and I be poor little common people."
Yan Le said: "You are bargaining, do you think you are buying vegetables in the market? You have killed people before, so you can bargain with others? Make up your mind quickly, so as not to dirty my precious sword!"
So Ying Hu Hai had no choice but to commit suicide.
Zhao Gao set a very bad precedent, and since then regicides have emerged one after another.
Before committing regicide, you have to find a high-sounding reason. Yun Zheng really couldn't think of what crime Cui Da and the others would find to pin Zhao Zhen on after regicide?
To be fair, Zhao Zhen is one of the few qualified emperors among the Han people. Historically, Zhao Zhen was the emperor most loved by the people and officials. Now, Zhao Zhen has eliminated his cowardice and is determined to conquer the north and is about to win.
It is no exaggeration to call him the most accomplished emperor of the Song Dynasty.
Yun Zheng was full of sympathy for Zhao Zhen, but this thought was not enough for him to take any actual action. The Song Dynasty had hurt him too much, and his little loyalty to the Song Dynasty had long been exhausted.
Clean.
In fact, Zhao Zhen, who is lying on the hospital bed, is living like a year now. It would be better if he died earlier.
That’s what Yun Zheng thinks!
He didn't know when he started to have this kind of bystander mentality. Maybe it started when the emperor gave him the title of Chengfeng Lang.
When he knelt down to accept the will, he felt that he was a head shorter than others. Then everything he did was to not kneel or kneel less. Now, even the last person who needed to kneel down was killed. In his heart
There is a vague sense of joy that cannot be expressed.
This is a bad taste!
The letter Cui Da left behind was actually a kind of bad taste. He very much hoped that Yun Zheng could advise him and make him give up this rebellious idea.
But Yun Zheng is no longer interested in all the domestic affairs of the Song Dynasty, including the life and death of the emperor. From the moment he stepped out of Yanmen Pass, he had no intention of entering the city of Tokyo!
Therefore, no matter what Cui Da's intentions were when he left him a letter, Yun Zheng would not pay attention to it. He would drink the wine he brewed by himself. If he accidentally brewed bitter wine, it would be completely justified for him to drink it himself.
.
As for Cui Da's last plea, Yun Zheng will not carry it out. If a person carries the reputation of a regicide, he will definitely be a more terrifying existence than a leper in the Song Dynasty. Anyone who is infected will die without mercy.
Burial place.
A strong gust of wind blew the door curtain, and the piece of paper on the table was blown away. Yun Zheng reached out to catch it, took another look at the content on the paper, sighed and put the piece of paper into the brazier next to him.
, the flame licked the paper, the paper burned, and then turned into ashes.
When the monkey dug the tunnel, he found two boxes of gunpowder inside. The lead was led to the house next door through a long bamboo pole. When the monkey went to look at the house next door, he found that the family had been dead for three or four days. The whole family, young and old,
They all lay quietly on the bed bleeding from their orifices.
Yun Zheng even guessed that at a certain point Cui Da even thought about lighting the gunpowder when he entered the tunnel. After the boom, Yun Zheng no longer knew whether he was planning to kill the king or not.
This is how the human mind guesses, and in the end all guesses turn out to be stupid!
So this thought only stayed in Yun Zheng's mind for a moment, and then he definitely thought that Cui Da only wanted to use gunpowder to protect his only weakness, rather than kill himself.
What Yunzheng likes to do most these days is to stand on the top of Xijing City and look to the east.
Others thought this was the commander-in-chief thinking about how to send troops to the east. Only Monkey knew that the commander-in-chief was thinking most about Yunji, who was sailing on the eastern sea. Occasionally looking south, he was just worried about the city of Tokyo.
Is your family okay now?
The longer Yun Zheng lives, the more he discovers that there are fewer people he truly cares about.
After the lengthy historical picture unfolds scene by scene, most of the people and things, whether they are great, noble, heroic, or loyal, cannot withstand scrutiny and cannot withstand the sun.
.
Some people were forced by the general situation to do some noble things at the right time, and then this bright spot shined like the blazing sun, covering up all the flaws.
It is inappropriate to describe a person in this way, or at least unfair, but this is how Huanghuang's history records people and events.
Those who do great things do not stick to trivial matters, and do not hide their great virtues with a glance. These famous sentences are used to highlight the superiors.
During these years of the Song Dynasty, Yun Zheng was so disappointed——
Under the city wall, his army was practicing hard on horseback and archery. Behind the city wall, his army was preparing supplies for the next war. In the army tent in the city, his staff officers were arguing fiercely about which way the army should take.
He argued that underground, his army and civilians were digging larger caves to store the food needed by his army.
All this is fresh to Yun Zheng, because these people breathe air in their mouths, spit out white mist, and sweat fall from their foreheads. Although they will be absorbed by the earth, they are all real.
The words uttered by those noble mouths in Tokyo will all turn into alcohol after being soaked in fine wine. They sound beautiful and smell fragrant, but are meaningless.
A burst of cheers broke Yun Zheng's thoughts.
It turned out that a low-level warrior who couldn't be named was riding naked to the waist on a galloping bare-backed horse. He leaned over and picked up a red velvet flower, and was proudly showing off his trophy to the people around him.
Yun Zheng smiled. He didn't know who had specially arranged such a small game to attract his attention and get a chance for promotion for this warrior. Although the warrior couldn't bear to look towards the city,
But his stiff movements had exposed his intentions.
The rough guys in the army have not yet learned to disguise themselves.
Yun Zheng took off his hairpin and handed it to a general who was good at shooting. The general tied the hairpin to a long arrow and then fired the bow. The long arrow fell from the top of the city with a sound and was nailed to the wall.
On the high stand of a sledge, the red hairpin dangled very eye-catchingly.
The monkey shouted at the top of his lungs: "The commander-in-chief has given an order, and the one who is first in riding and shooting will get a hairpin!"
The sergeants under the city immediately became excited. The naked young warrior roared and leaned down to pick up his bow and arrows. He aimed at the thick shaft of the chariot and fired three arrows a hundred paces away from the back of the horse.
Yun Zheng could see clearly that three long arrows were nailed to the tip of the shaft of the chariot. Even Yun Zheng couldn't help but applaud for such riding and shooting skills.
The cavalry and archery skills of the Great Song Army have always been weak. In order to make up for this shortcoming, Yun Zheng had to equip the entire army with crossbows on a large scale. Although these weapons were very lethal, they were looked down upon by the real warriors in the army. Among them
It seems that long arrows and hard bows are the highest expression of martial prowess. Once one has truly mastered the art of archery, neither the shooting speed nor the accuracy can be matched by crossbows. (To be continued)
