Chapter 1710 Put the most ruthless words with the most cowardly look
"In the past, you Xiao Tang and others gathered in rebellion, robbed counties and towns, and committed evil acts as thieves. This was a great treason and immorality. We should remember the merits of rescuing the saints in the past and forgive the original sin. We should have the heart to put away evil and return to righteousness. We should not violate the country's dignity. We should
In order to emulate the reform and reform, I sincerely feared that I would be wasting my life and the people, so I stopped fighting with the Jin people. You, the ministers who were supposed to be forgiven by the divine grace, did not obey the destiny and violated the emperor's decree several times. However, I thought about it.
The Xiaotang Dynasty did have a great role in helping the country and determining disasters. I pity you for your foolishness. Therefore, I have sent an angel to come here to ask you. On the day of arrival, Hedong, Jingdong, and Hebei must be conquered. The state capital should have money, food, and weapons.
All the horses were delivered to the Luzhi Xiansi where they were delivered, and the vassal commander Xiao Tang also had to go to Beijing to meet the saint in person and state his love in order to be exempted from this crime.
However, now the Manichaean evil party has gathered in Xiang and Chu. The leader of the thieves, Zhong Xiang, has rebelled, occupied the prefectures and counties, and arbitrarily changed the reign names. The leaders of Yang Jin, Wang Shan and other thieves have caused chaos in the west of Beijing, Huainan, and Henan, overthrowing the cities of the Song Dynasty, and suppressing the barbarians.
Under the rule of the people, I have ordered Xiao Tang to be the commander-in-chief of the pacifying bandits. After going to Beijing to express his feelings, he will command the army and horses. Xingchi will attack Yang Jin first, Wang Shan and others will be the leaders of the rebels, and then attack Xiangchu Manichaean Prime Minister Zhong. You and other soldiers
, work together to be loyal, the merits will be eliminated, and the rewards will be determined..."
Even when Zhang Bangchang used kind words to express his goodwill to Xiao Tang, he had to bite the bullet and read the edict loudly. There was no other reason. This was because the official Zhao Huan threatened Zhang Bangchang and ordered him to convey it to Xiao Tang.
The purpose, as for other accompanying envoys and officials, was to put it bluntly, they were here to supervise whether Zhang Bangchang had clearly explained the almost bossy and coercive instructions from the imperial court to Xiao Tang's side.
However, according to the key points of the Bianjing court's inquiry into Xiao and Tang's invasion of the army, the first was to hand over several major prefectures, counties and towns that were conquered and recovered by the armies commanded by Xiao and Tang in Daming Prefecture, Jeju and other places east of Hebei and Beijing.
To the chief and assistant officials appointed by the imperial court; the second is to ask Xiao Tang to go to Beijing in person to plead guilty, so as to dispel the official's suspicion of him; the third is to be like Song Jiang who was recruited by the imperial court, and does not have to go north
Instead of going to fight the Jin Kingdom's attack, he ordered Xiao Tang to command all the troops and horses under the control of the Marshal's Office to move south to conquer Yang Jin, Wang Shan and other bandits, and then go south to attack Xiangchu Zhongxiang.
Along the way, Zhemo also wanted to overthrow the Guangxi border at the southern end of the Song Dynasty, and wipe out Cao Cheng and other rebel leaders for the imperial court...
Not to mention that Zhang Bangchang, who was crying out in pain in his heart, but had to declare aloud, concluded that Xiao Tang was determined not to accept the court's order to raise troops to investigate crimes. I am afraid that those in the court had already disliked Zhang Bangchang and tried their best to remonstrate with him.
Even the so-called upright ministers who exerted so much pressure on Xiao Tang from the government would not believe that Xiao Tang would give in and accept the imperial edict that the court deliberately used to make excuses, which was obviously an attempt to weaken his own power.
And if your rebellious minister, Xiao Tang, continues to disobey the imperial edict and harbors disobedient intentions, it will naturally be obvious. As for Zhang Bangchang, who came to summon you, if you are angered, you will kill him with one knife. That is the last step.
Nothing better...
However, Xiao Tang was still sitting behind the handsome case. He touched the table with his elbow and rested his head on his head.
I was very interested, but I felt that Zhang Bangchang was just pitifully tight.
After all, he was completely different from the traitor Liu Yu who willingly surrendered to the Jin State and fought to be the pioneer to invade the Song Dynasty, just to become the emperor. When Zhang Bangchang was forced to support the Jin army and proclaimed himself emperor, he tried every means to evade it, and even wanted to commit suicide in response.
The Jin people threatened to massacre the city and forced Zhang Bangchang to submit. When he was forced to ascend the throne and not proclaim himself emperor, he also knew that he was riding a tiger and was in trouble, and returning power to the Zhao family would probably not end well. However, Zhang Bangchang still resolutely abdicated and returned power, from beginning to end.
They were not willing to arrogantly assume their status as kings and ministers of the Song Dynasty.
After Zhao Huan, who was also forced to succeed, took over, he set out to eliminate Cai Jing, Cai You, Tong Guan and other powerful traitors. However, although Zhang Bangchang tended to side with Wang Fu among the six thieves, Zhao Ji's situation became more and more fierce when he came to power.
Xuntian's powerful officials have all lost power and fallen, but he was not among the courtiers purged, which shows that he was not very evil during his administration. It's just that this guy was still looked down upon by Zhao Huan, just like
The situation now that he is being forced to come here is similar. At the beginning, he ordered Zhang Bangchang to serve as an envoy to the Jin Dynasty to negotiate peace. He was mentioned as a prisoner among the wolf-like foreign invaders, and then he entered the Jin people's circle.
His vision was forced to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor...
This guy is indeed timid, and he liked to get into trouble when he was an official in the court, but he is not a heinous and evil traitor who cannot be punished. However, he was first kicked by Zhao Huan, an official who did not like to see him, and was kicked by the Jin people.
In Bianjing, Zhao Huan gave in and was frightened. Other ministers urged to depose the ministers who were in charge of the war and agreed to all the conditions of losing power and humiliating the country. Zhang Bangchang was still a prisoner of the Jin army. Therefore, this bad debt was like a fool and a fool who ruined the country.
It can't be blamed on him, but he was forced to sit on the throne by the Jin people. Anyone who has sat on the dragon throne in all dynasties sat on it most reluctantly and uncomfortable. Undoubtedly, this Bangchang is one of the few.
One. Now he is even more jealous of the emperor and looked down upon by many ministers in the court. If he is caught with any evidence, he will be killed immediately. Therefore, the court now kicks this guy to me. Later generations will not know the details.
Almost everyone in the country would accuse him of being a scum traitor who forgot his ancestors and actively betrayed his country for glory. To be honest, Zhang Bangchang was really unlucky...
Xiao Tang thought in his heart, except that he had read "Shuo Yue" several times, and he still felt a little disgusted when he heard the name of Zhang Bangchang, but now he knew that he was definitely sent as cannon fodder by Zhao Huan.
, and then listening to the obviously pretentious declaration of the imperial edict, naturally he would not take it to heart.
However, Zhang Bangchang didn't know what Xiao Tang was thinking. He glanced over from time to time and saw that the commanders of the rebel armies, who were now powerful enough to compete with the imperial court, showed no expression of joy or anger on their faces. They were still staring steadily towards him.
, and could not help but become increasingly flustered.
What's more, even if Xiao Tang could look at Zhang Bangchang calmly and speak harshly in the most cowardly tone, it doesn't mean that other leaders with a burning temperament can hold back.
Just wait for Zhang Bangchang to read: "Since the Xiaotang Dynasty, all ministers who have been under the control of the General Office must not make mistakes. If you still have no conscience and violate the harsh edicts, otherwise the power of God will be angry..." Suddenly,
"Crack!" The loud sound suddenly sounded, and Lu Zhishen became angry first, and slapped him again with a slap like a cattail leaf fan, until the sandalwood chair under him was smashed into pieces. Zhang Bangchang was so frightened that he immediately fell off his butt.
While he was paralyzed on the ground, he immediately cursed angrily: "What a shame! What a shame! The servants in the court are so weak. My brothers and I will suffer a lot in order to drive out the Tatars and regain the lost territory.
You are a treacherous person who has no shame, and you have an affair with Jin Lu, but now you have the honor to make it big!"
"Bang!" There was another muffled sound, and Wu Song also stood up. He was furious and had murderous intent in his eyes: "We brothers are all ambitious heroes. We support each other in life and death, and support each other in times of adversity. Those who aspire to stabilize the land and stabilize the people from being invaded by the Tatars, but end up causing the people to become thieves, losing teachers and humiliating the country, and directly teaching the people to be poisoned by the Tatars, are the slanderous and traitorous people in the imperial court who are unable to protect the land and the people, and are turning upside down and colluding. To plot against our brothers, how is this different from being a lackey of the Tatars, a thief who corrupts the country and harms the people? Recovering the city of Junzhou also cost the lives of many brothers and brought them back. The bird man in the court did it again What are you getting? Now that the foreign invaders from the north have not been eliminated, they are coming to undermine my brother’s reputation. How can there be such a reason!?"
Not just Lu Zhishen and Wu Song? Most of the leaders with strong and unruly temperaments stood up and looked as if they were about to get angry. When Zhang Bangchang saw this scene, he was so frightened that his three souls were wandering and his seven souls were wandering. I lamented the pain again in my heart, and almost fainted.
When Xiao Tang saw this, there was a sneer in the corner of his mouth, and he gradually stood up, thinking secretly in his heart: If the servants in the court could show some kindness, I would be able to repay them a little bit, but now I am angry Even if they don't obey at all, what's the matter? Prime Minister Zhong, Yang Jin and others were enough to cause the Song Dynasty to be subverted during this period. I led the brothers to continue to attack the Jin army. Now that the current situation is so bad, but How can you keep me waiting?
