Since ancient times, people who have offended everything because of one thing have basically not had a good ending, so Shang Yang was torn apart by a chariot, and Mi Heng was boiled in a big pot.
Although Yun Zheng was in a high and powerful position, he naturally could not escape this rule. After telling several wrong things that the ancestors of the Zhao family had done in their early years, he was naturally sent to the prison by the emperor.
This Tianlao does not refer to the Tianlao of the Ministry of Justice, but to the Tianlao in military terminology. Since ancient times, military strategists have called Tianlao a place surrounded by mountains, with a dangerous situation, and easy to enter and difficult to get out.
The place where Yunzheng is now is such a place.
Pang Ji and Chen Lin sent him in. This heavenly prison is actually on Cuiwei Mountain next to the palace. There was no mountain here originally, because when the city of Tokyo was digging ditches, there was a lot of earth with no place to store it, so it was piled here.
.
From the Later Zhou Dynasty to the present, nearly two hundred years of continuous excavation of river channels, the soil here has slowly piled up into a mountain.
Emperor Zhao and Song, who had always had an artistic vision, planted many trees on this mountain. Over the past hundred years, the mountain has become lush and green.
Because it is a man-made mountain, the artistic Zhao family built this hill to be extremely steep, with winding paths inside, which can be said to be a beautiful sight every step of the way.
There is a thatched house at the end of the small valley, but it is a thatched house built with golden grass. Such a house is much more valuable than the main hall of the Yun family.
This was originally the place where the Emperor of the Zhao family practiced Taoism. Yun Zheng looked at the furnishings in the room and was very satisfied. He turned around and said to Chen Lin: "What's the matter with keeping me alone? Send my wife, concubine, and children in. The kitchen
Mom also sent it in, I plan to spend the summer here this year."
Pang Ji sighed and said, "I didn't ask you to make such a fuss. Think carefully about what stupid things you said in the palace? Can you deny the late emperor's policy of drinking wine to release military power?"
Although those people guarding Tokyo are really pigs, don't say it to their faces. Han Qi is now dealing with them one by one. What effect can your straightforward words have on him other than hurting His Majesty's heart?"
Chen Lin was startled and looked at Pang Ji, who was so angry just now, wondering what he meant by what he said now.
Just now His Majesty ordered Yun Zheng to be thrown into the sky prison. He wanted to ask Pang Ji why he didn't go to the Ministry of Punishment, but he came here. It was only because His Majesty's order was issued to Pang Ji that he had endured it until now.
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "You know me. Not only do I have mysophobia, but I also have some unexplainable problems. Whenever I see a building that does not comply with military regulations, I want to change it. The city of Tokyo is busy all day long.
Under my nose, if I don’t take this opportunity to say it, how can I have such a good opportunity in the future? Do you think my heart won’t tremble when I say those words?”
Pang Ji shook his head and said: "It seems that the effect is good. His Majesty still listened to it, and the prince also listened. Didn't you see that the prince was looking at the burning Tokyo sand table, and his little face was so white that no one could see it? Sound the drum?
Even with a heavy hammer, you can do this."
Yun Zheng sneered and said: "As long as Your Majesty and the Crown Prince listen to what they say, I don't care what others think. People like Hou Zhitan and Lin Guang can threaten, induce, and coerce. They themselves have no personality."
, it’s no big deal to be insulted. At this time, the person may be glad that he is a pig, because all the parts of a tiger are locked in a cage.”
Pang Ji then smiled, pointed at Yun Zheng and said, "Stay here for a while, and I will send your whole family over when I get back. Naturally, the public statement will be that your whole family has been sent to prison."
Chen Lin's legs were shaking even more violently, not out of fear, but out of anger. He finally understood that everything wrong with Yun Zheng was instigated by the emperor and the prime minister. There might be something behind this.
There are shadows of people like Han Qi, Wen Yanbo, and Di Qing.
It was a big humiliation for her that only she, the spy leader who controlled the Secret Service, knew nothing about such a huge matter.
Pang Ji looked at Chen Lin who was turning blue and said, "I won't tell you that this is the tone set by His Majesty. If you know everything, you won't be able to confuse the enemy at all."
"Confuse the enemy? Who is the enemy?" Chen Lin asked in a trembling voice.
"Who else can there be except the Xixia and Liao people? They have come to our Song Dynasty to find out the truth. If your Majesty doesn't do a few things that are outrageous and resentful, how can you be worthy of the kindness of others who have come from thousands of miles away?
?”
Yun Zheng, who was sitting on a futon made of golden grass, smiled and said to Chen Lin.
Pang Ji said with a smile: "The punishment of Wen Yanbo may be regarded as a grievance, the punishment of Zeng Ji may make the people of Tokyo shed tears of sympathy, the punishment of Zeng Gongliang will make Shilin sad, and the punishment of Wang Anshi will make countless people who support the reform weep.
Fei, if I only deal with you, I’m afraid the people in Tokyo will applaud."
Chen Lin could no longer care about being angry. At this time, he also wanted to understand. The reason why His Majesty wanted to accompany Pang Ji to deal with Yun Zheng was because he planned to tell him about it as soon as possible. This was because he was loyal to himself.
An affirmation.
So, he asked directly: "Since the country has a big plan, how should our Secret Service cooperate? The plan of the Ministry of Rites for all nations to come to the court this time cannot be damaged because of this plan. This is the glory of the empire, and it is also
This is the embodiment of His Majesty’s rule of the world.”
Yun Zheng said disdainfully: "Taking back Yanyun is the pinnacle of your majesty's glory. It doesn't matter if all the nations come to court. If your majesty likes it, it won't be a problem for all the nations to come to court every day."
Pang Ji nodded and said: "It is true. The empire has squeezed the southern countries quite hard in recent years. It has reached the point of killing the goose that lays eggs. Using the wealth of the south to accumulate assets and prepare for the war in the north has aroused the dissatisfaction of the southern natives.
.
Countries such as Jiaozhi, Champa, Chenla, Bagan, Boni, Po, Srivijaya, Dashi, and Tiepak all complained that the commercial tax imposed by the imperial court was too heavy, and they also criticized the imperial court for anchoring foreign merchant ships in Quanzhou.
, I am very dissatisfied with the forced trade between Guangzhou and Guangzhou.”
Yun Zheng was confused when he heard this and asked Pang Ji: "Strength? What kind of place is this? I am very familiar with the south. Why have I never heard of this country?"
Pang Ji smiled and said: "Lieba is a black country. I just sent an envoy to the Song Dynasty three years ago. I met the natives. They were a bit ugly, but they were more simple and the gifts were good. They were all ivory and rhinoceros horns."
Kind of treasure.”
"Can you understand what they are saying?" Hearing that Pang Ji actually received a black person, Yun Zheng was very surprised how they communicated. The black people at this time should not speak English.
Pang Ji laughed and said: "They paid tribute with gifts. I just gave them some silk and porcelain. Who wants to listen to them? But the things they sent are all good things. It seems that the country is still very wealthy."
.”
After entering this prison, Pang Ji's aura of majesty disappeared, perhaps because showing off his majesty in front of Yun Zheng and Chen Lin would make people laugh. Yun Zheng found that if this old man didn't use his mind, he would
Overall it's pretty interesting.
The eunuch in the hut brought tea to the three of them and then left. Yun Zheng held the tea and said with a smile: "Every empire will have an opportunity to expand outwards at the beginning of its founding, but our Song Dynasty did not.
Seizing this opportunity, coupled with the fact that at the beginning of the founding of the country, we had a powerful country like Khitan around us, thus limiting Taizu's expansion plan.
The territory in the north was incomplete, and the large plains east of Tokyo became the horse herding land of the Khitans. It was not until the "Chanyuan Alliance" was concluded during the reign of the late emperor that we truly controlled the Damingfu area of Hebei."
Chen Lin sighed and said: "The situation is stronger than the people. When Kou Zhun forced the late emperor to go to Chanzhou, the people in the palace felt that it was the end of the world. People in the palace were panicking and saying anything. If not
Empress Dowager Li ordered more than twenty talkative people to be killed with a stick. Since the late Emperor has not returned, chaos is likely to have arisen in the palace. God knows what the result will be."
Pang Ji sighed: "The later we retake Yanyun, the harder it will be to recover it. The previous disastrous defeats of the Song Dynasty have already caused almost all the losses to our people in Yanyun.
I only hope that the education of the Kong family over the years can restore some of our people's support. Marquis Yun killed Guo Hengchuan, an old thief. This is very important. It effectively deterred those Han people who wanted to throw themselves into the arms of the Khitan. Finally,
It saved us some time."
When Yun Zheng, Pang Ji and Chen Lin were chatting in Tianlao, the Yun family was already in chaos. When Yun Er came home, Ge Qiuyan was already dressed up and was preparing to take his family to Jietian Lao.
, this woman is crazy and doesn’t care about the consequences of doing this.
Lu Qingqing was still thinking about the mystery of this. Her husband did not make any explanation when he left, but just said that today is different from the past.
Her husband had long ago said that the Yun family had means of self-protection, but now that the censor had come to visit, the means of self-protection that her husband mentioned had still not appeared, which made her feel confused.
At one moment I was worried that someone else had caught my husband off guard and he was too late to send out a warning. At the other moment I was worried that this was a trap set by my husband to trap someone, because the evil smile on my husband’s face when he went out in the morning was really disturbing.
It's heartbreaking.
After Yun Er drove the rest of the people out, he said to the sad-looking Lu Qingqing and the angry-looking Ge Qiuyan: "Pack a few things and take your nieces and nephews to follow them. Big brother is waiting for you in the prison.
, the eldest brother said, the whole family will spend the summer there this year.”
Lu Qingqing's tense heart immediately relaxed, and she patted her chest and said, "That's good, that's good, as long as your elder brother is fine."
Ge Qiuyan said angrily: "Why do you want to go to Tianlao to escape the summer heat? Can you choose a good place?"
Yun Er smiled and said: "I don't know. This is what my eldest brother said to me personally. Pang Ji and Chen Lin were both there at that time. My eldest brother also said that Qin Guo and I would live in the mansion and we could not go there." (To be continued.)
