Yang Lin is not someone who can be manipulated by others. He never has been. Those who stood in the way before have been eliminated one by one. Now the emperor has issued six orders to recall him from the battlefield to Bianliang.
In Bianliang City, the plan to overthrow Yang was vigorously carried out, and everyone was happy to step on this once popular power minister. Almost all of Yang Lin's small influence in Bianliang was completely destroyed, and all the officials related to him were completely destroyed.
Demoted from Beijing, including the highly respected Right Chancellor Zhang Shangying.
When Yang Lin really came back, no one expected this ending.
The entire Song Dynasty shifted all its focus to Bianliang in an almost perverted manner. Countless fights between the powerful and powerful were concentrated in the city of Bianliang. No one cared about the places outside Kaifeng. For a hundred years after the founding of the Song Dynasty, those who gained power in Bianliang were always the ones who gained power.
will control the entire empire.
In those places outside Beijing that stretch north and south, no one noticed that Yang Lin's power had reached an uncontrollable level. Even if they did, they saw the four shipping companies, the carriages and horses of the Long Live Camp and the water transport ships with red eyes.
Team, saw the white and shiny silver.
As for how capable the soldiers and horses of Song Jiang and Han Shizhong are; the generals of the Western Army were split, and the only field army left in the Song Dynasty that could fight was sent to the Khitan country outside the country; no one cared about the northwestern barbarians' belief in Yang Lin.
.
It was late at night and it was the fifth watch, and Yang Lin felt very uncomfortable. The situation in Zhaodefang was still unclear. Surrounded by so many forbidden troops, Gao Qiu's men could not rush out without nodding.
Now we can only hope that Dad will get the news and come back early. Even if he comes back early, he doesn't know how many people he can protect.
Song Jiang stood in the palace, his heart racing. Once upon a time, he was just a small official in Yuncheng County. How could he have imagined that such a day would come to him.
Slowly walking towards Yang Lin, pushing aside the layers of guards, Song Jiang whispered: "Young Zai, it's been so long. If Gao Qiu doesn't nod,"
Yang Lin did not shy away from Zhao Ji who was present at all, and said in a deep voice: "Gao Qiu nodded, the evacuations are limited, sooner or later we will still have to fight. Wanyan Xiyin only has 50,000 to 60,000 people, and it has turned the world upside down. We
We have no less than a hundred thousand elite soldiers, and we just defeated Wanyan Xiyin, so there is nothing to be afraid of."
This was said not only to Song Jiang, but also to the pale Zhao Ji who was sitting on the dragon bed.
After repeatedly sabotaging his own plans, Yang Lin was completely disappointed and could no longer let this foolish king drag the entire Han civilization to his death.
On the street outside the palace, the Northwest Elite Cavalry circled Gen Yue, with hundreds of thousands of eyes staring at them. Everyone in the imperial army witnessed a bloody battle outside the Donghua Gate. The strength of the two sides was not of the same level.
The generals of the Forbidden Army were also in chaos at the moment. Most of these so-called generals were more courageous than the civil servants and officials. After years of peace and prosperity, the Song Dynasty court had a strange attitude towards the Forbidden Army. It did not treat the scholar-officials with kindness and courtesy, but regarded them as
Be your own confidence.
This also led to the ban on military actions, all based on the interests of this group. If the civil servants and officials act as a group, they also need to consider the country that the king and they rule together in name. The system of the Song Dynasty took these into account.
The group of generals of the Imperial Guard who live in the heart of the country have completely developed a parasite that clings to this country and sucks its marrow. It will not hesitate to completely bring this country to its knees!
The 600,000 powerless Forbidden Army in the Beijing camp was actually the main problem of the Song Dynasty's redundant army, which brought down the empire. Many of these Forbidden Army generals had escaped from Daming Mansion, and their hearts were completely in confusion.
They formed a group, eagerly discussing with each other, but no one had an idea. From time to time, someone looked around in panic, as if preparing to escape immediately!
Finally, after much anticipation, the bike frame of Dian Shuai Gao Qiu arrived.
The generals of the Forbidden Army all stretched their necks and raised their feet to look in the middle of the road. They saw Gao Qiu wearing a Taiwei robe and surrounded by armored men.
The generals all held their breath and concentrated, fearing that Gao Qiu would suddenly order a killing spree. The group of thieves and military birds in front of them were all as big as iron lumps. They were even more terrifying than the Jurchen Tatars they encountered earlier. Gao Qiu must not get carried away.
. Even if you die by yourself and serve the officials, don't drag others on your back.
Gao Qiu came to the front of the palace, followed Yang Jian, and said to the generals of the imperial army: "When I enter the palace, I will first meet with the officials. You will restrain the officers and soldiers and avoid any further conflicts. We are all officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty, and we must not fight with each other.
.”
Everyone felt relieved and praised Gao Qiu's great wisdom and bravery. Yang Jian looked on with cold eyes and secretly thought in his heart that with these things, it was no wonder that he lost so miserably in Daming Mansion.
Gao Qiu followed Yang Jian into the palace. Zhao Ji felt a little relieved when he saw him coming, and cried: "Gao Aiqing, I didn't expect to see Aiqing alive."
Gao Qiu squeezed a few tears. He had feelings for Zhao Ji, but he wouldn't let him risk his life.
"Officials, please don't worry. Now that the traitor Liang Shicheng is dead, everything will get better slowly as long as the young master is here."
Zhao Ji couldn't say a word, but his whole body was shaking violently, as if he was in a dream!
This Taiwei, who he had single-handedly promoted from a servant who was a bookboy to a minister of the Song Dynasty Palace Commander, also turned his back on him.
At this time, Zhao Ji could be said to be fighting for his own good, and he did not dare to say a word.
Yang Lin chuckled lightly, stood up, and said: "Come here, lay out pens, inks, paper and inkstones for the officials. Now, in order to stabilize Bianliang and outside, the officials need an edict. I will read it and you will write it."
Zhao Ji was powerless, like a puppet on strings, his eyes were lifeless, his hands and feet were empty. Gao Ji's betrayal gave him a fatal blow, and all hope was shattered——
Outside Gen Yue, facing the generals of the Forbidden Army, Hua Rong, who had the loudest voice, was sent out to read the edict:
"Holy edict: My poor virtues led to military disasters and unkindness in my employment, which caused Liang Shicheng and others to control the government and cause chaos. The Jurchens went south, and people were killed and the people suffered. All parties are guilty, and the blame lies with me. King Zhao Si of Yue
, good conduct, deeply respected by people, and the heart of the world. Now that Zen is in the hands of the king of Yue, I will take refuge in Genyue, devote myself to cultivating Taoism, and not care about worldly affairs. All the affairs of the imperial court in eradicating traitors and upholding justice are entrusted to Yang Lin, the young prime minister of the Duke of Yan.
this."
As soon as these words came out, the crowd suddenly burst into exclamation. Damn, even the emperor was about to be changed. Once Zhao Ji came to the throne, he had actually slowly lost popularity, but his power became more and more important. Even if he
The prime ministers were abolished and established at will, and no emperor in the Song Dynasty was more centralized than him.
Now that a Yue king was suddenly raised, he had no foundation at all and was not even a puppet. Yang Lin's intention was already known to everyone, but he wanted to resist, but he couldn't muster the courage.
Moreover, Zhao Ji's kindness was all given to several of his close ministers. From the time when King Duan came to the throne to the present, he has not shown any kindness to the people or the imperial army. Except for himself, close ministers such as Liang Shicheng, Gao Qiu, and Wang Fu have taken advantage of it.
, but these people are desperate and rebellious, who is willing to fight for Zhao Ji. What everyone thinks about is only their own gains and interests.
While the generals of the imperial army were still hesitant, after Hua Rong finished reading, a burly general leaped out from behind him and said loudly: "The whole army is listening to the order and will go to the palace to welcome the new king to the throne. Anyone who resists will not be killed."
