"The Third Division said they had no money, the imperial camp said they had no soldiers, the prime minister said there was no one, and several bachelors said they might as well slow down a bit. The censors... impeached Li Gang one after another and asked for prosecution? Some people suggested killing Zhang Bangchang?"
Moreover, as the rain gradually subsided, Zhao Jiu successfully got rid of the isolation of the five important officials for the first time since time travel. On the evening of the second day, he officially came into contact with the memorials of the civil and military officials on a large scale, but the situation
But nothing seems to have changed, as if everyone is a capitulator.
But what's interesting is that Zhao Jiu didn't seem to care too much.
"A good instructor knows that this is what people want!" Kang Lu, who was standing next to the case beside the light, hurriedly lowered his head and explained, his attitude much more humble than the previous few days.
"Who is Zhang Bangchang?" Zhao Jiu asked curiously. "I seem to have some impression."
Kang Lu was speechless, so he could only put aside "people's desires" for the time being and explain a little bit.
It turns out that Zhang Bangchang was the previous prime minister of Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty, and he was also the last genuine prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty. He mainly did the following things during his stay in Jingkang:
First of all, he received the instructions from Song Qinzong to replace Li Gang in charge of the government, and went out of the city to preside over the matter of surrendering to the Jin people;
Secondly, it was probably because he was well-spoken and handsome, and the Jin Marshal Wanyan Yili who was in power at the time was not a cautious person, so after the Jingkang Incident, when the Jin army retreated, they used this
People supported him to the position of emperor, hoping to make him the emperor of the Han people, thinking that he was a vassal of the Jin Kingdom;
Finally, as soon as the Jin people left, the Great Chu Emperor Zhang Bangchang invited back Empress Dowager Meng (Empress Zhezong of the Song Dynasty, twice deposed) who was living as a Taoist priest at home at the time, and in the name of Empress Dowager Meng returned the throne to the emperor who had fled to Nanjing at that time
(Shangqiu) Zhao Gou was waiting to see the situation.
Zhao Jiu suddenly realized that he remembered this person. It seemed that there was a mention in the history books, but it was only said that this person opposed Li Gang during the Jingkang period and was a capitulator. The rest of the matter was not mentioned. Of course, Zhao Jiu is also now
Thinking this way, as for Kang Lujiji who kept talking about Zhang Bangchang proclaiming himself emperor and coming back, he didn't pay much attention to it... For this kind of person, it's okay to call him weak, and it's okay to call him incompetent.
, but at that time, from the emperor down, the entire city of Tokyo had surrendered, and it was hard to say anything to him even if the knife was placed on his neck. If he really wanted to kill someone because of his weak legs, then the killing would be endless.
Of course, there must be reasons for killing people. One is because he chose to surrender as a prime minister, and the other is because he became emperor. But no matter what, you have to kill at the beginning. There is no reason to exile people for several months and then find trouble to kill them.
Otherwise, what would the other ministers who had fled from Tokyo think?
"Did I not have much words to say to this guy at the beginning that day?" I don't know if it was muscle memory, but Zhao Jiu now has a lot more messy words in his mouth.
"Yes." Kang Lu calmed down and answered seriously. "When the official ascended the throne that day, he promised to bring peace and wealth to him and give him the position of Dazai..."
"Then why did he have to be exiled again?" Zhao Jiu felt even more strange. "And I have been chatting with the Ban Zhi people these days and talked about a lot of things. Why has no one mentioned this guy?"
Kang Lu lowered his head and said nothing.
"If you have something to say, the official will say it directly." Zhao Jiu couldn't help but frown.
"I won't hide it from everyone." Maybe because he knew it but couldn't hide it, Kang Lu spoke in a low voice, but he told a few truths. "On that day, Zhang was called the false emperor, and many people advised everyone to get rid of him. But even so, everyone thought of him.
In order to return to power, he was only allowed to settle in Tanzhou. Only later when we found out about his affair with Mrs. Jinggong... everyone was furious. At that time, we asked our family not to forget to remind everyone that after staying for a while, everything would go smoothly.
Finally, we must issue an edict to kill Zhang Bangchang."
"Mrs. Jinggong?" Zhang Jiu became increasingly confused.
"He was from the Taoist Emperor's palace at that time."
Kang Lu also whispered more and more, as if he was afraid that the guards in front of the door, Yang Yizhong, would hear. "On that day, Zhang Bangchang became the false emperor and entered the inner court. The Jin people gave him Mrs. Jinggong as his queen, and Mrs. Jinggong repeatedly sent fruits to this thief.
Not to mention, it is said that they met in private, called them all, and had one or two unspeakable things. Even when Zhang thief left the inner court, Mrs. Jinggong even held his arm and exchanged words with each other.
Criticize Your Majesty. Now, Mrs. Jing Gong has been locked up and is waiting for her to confess clearly and be eliminated together. However, the official fell into the trap at this time..."
"That's ridiculous!" Zhao Jiu, who had just understood what was going on, suddenly spoke out, causing Yang Yizhong inside the door and several Ban Zhi outside the door to turn around in shock.
"It's really ridiculous!" Kang Lu quickly lowered his head and agreed.
"How can you kill people indiscriminately because of something like this?" Zhao Jiu was obviously furious.
Kang Lu almost bit off his tongue, as if he had forcefully swallowed some words.
"If Zhang Bangchang was killed, and he was killed in a grand way at the beginning with the pretext of offering money to the Prime Minister, what would the people of the world have to say? Do they have to change their ways because of this kind of thing?" Zhao Jiu was indignant. "Besides, what about Mrs. Jinggong's behavior?
Is there anything wrong? In that situation, if Zhang Bangchang hadn't protected her, what would have happened to her as a weak woman? Would it be a good ending for her to be kidnapped by a golden man?! She had to criticize the prince and fall in love with Zhang Bangchang.
Is it a reasonable thing?"
Kang Lu wanted to speak but stopped.
"Let that lady go and let her go find Zhang Bangchang!" Zhao Jiu came back and felt helpless. "Zhang Bangchang can be killed, but it is useless to kill him now. Let the lady pass a message and ground him for life.
In Tanzhou, if you are not allowed to show off, you will be treated as a prisoner."
Kang Lu was speechless for a long time, until the official turned to look at him coldly, and then nodded.
Seeing Kang Lu agree, Zhao Jiu was about to go see the memorial again, but suddenly he realized: "How many palace people are still here?"
"Not much, maybe three to five hundred..."
"Let's do this," Zhao Jiu said slowly. "Since the two saints have all gone north to hunt, and they are really innocent, plus the ministers and officers who escaped from Tokyo City, Hebei and Hedong, many of the officers have family separations, so
Give them the palace servants...Looking for older, virtuous people...it's the best of both worlds."
Kang Lu still bowed his head and remained speechless this time.
"What do you mean?" Zhao Jiu was too lazy to play riddles with this person. "If there is anything I don't know, just tell me."
"One or two hundred of them are the 'Huan Yi Niang' who were specially sent to Tokyo and Nanjing after the officials ascended the throne..."
"I...Zhao Jiu...am I such a scumbag?" Halfway through what the other party said, Zhao Jiu suddenly realized what he was saying, and then he spoke in astonishment.
After he ascended the throne, that is, a few months ago, the Jingkang scandal had just ended. Where did Zhao Laojiu get his sexual interest?!
"It's people like Chen Dong who slandered Your Majesty!" Although he didn't understand what "scum" meant, Kang Lu seemed to understand a bit of the official's ways and immediately explained. "When an official ascends the throne, how can he do it without palace officials?
?If nothing else, who will serve Mrs. Pan and the emperor?"
"Did Chen Dong die because he said this?" Zhao Jiu suddenly realized it under the lamp, and then became extremely speechless. "Forget it... leave twenty people to take care of Madam Pan and the emperor's heir, and then leave some more mature and homeless people.
The kind that can be returned are used for washing clothes in the palace, and the rest of the young and good-looking ones are selected out and given to those young officers who have left their families...but they can only stay here and be placed here, and cannot go out with them, let alone follow them.
In the army."
"The official sage!" Kang Lu nodded repeatedly. After all, he had learned his lesson.
However, after saying this, and seeing Zhao Guan's family preparing to continue reading the memorials, Kang Daguan adjusted his mentality slightly, but finally returned to the topic he originally wanted to say:
"Speaking of which, the officials may not remember that the person who most wanted to kill Zhang Bangchang that day was none other than Xianggong Li!"
"How do you say that?" Zhao Jiu put down the memorial written by Lu Haowen, a bachelor of Zizheng Palace, and opened a memorial written by a censor. As soon as he glanced at it, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
"There are some rumors... One is naturally that Mr. Li hates evil and is so angry at these people who can't keep their moral integrity that he can't get rid of them without killing them!"
"What about the second one?"
"Secondly, some people say that Li Xianggong had a personal grudge against Zhang Bangchang. At that time, the imperial court was newly established, and they wanted to use it to establish prestige by killing people to stabilize the situation."
"Is there three?"
"have……"
"Tell me."
"The third one is that Mr. Li Xianggong helped His Majesty rebuild the court. Although he has made great contributions, he still looks down on Your Majesty and intends to use this to gain power and control the court."
The lights flickered, and Kang Lu, who stood with his hands tied in the light and shadow, spoke slowly. "Therefore, he had two big ideas in court that day. One was to go to Nanyang. On the surface, it was naturally that Nanyang could be connected to Guanzhong in order to secure peace.
I'm afraid no one can tell whether the people in the northwest actually have the intention of suppressing His Majesty's Yuan Cong cronies in the former Grand Marshal's Palace. Because Huang Xianggong and others had agreed to go to Yangzhou long before Li Xianggong came, and it was Liang who
The attendants also went to the southeast to raise funds early... Officials, it's not that we old people in the Marshal's Mansion don't want to resist the money, it's actually that there is no danger to defend in the Central Plains, and we are well prepared in Yangzhou, so we can't repeat it easily.
It was the officials themselves who had the same intention that day, so they dismissed Xianggong Li."
"So that's it...then what? Where is Zhang Bangchang?" Zhao Jiu continued to read the memorial in his hand without raising his head.
"Zhang Bangchang... In fact, according to the previous argument about the Nanyang-Yangzhou dispute, Xianggong Li demanded the death of Zhang Bangchang. Some people say that he was building a plank road in the open and secretly visiting Chencang, hoping to get rid of a group of old Tokyo officials so that he could take advantage of the situation.
When the prime minister is alone, he fills the court with private individuals so as to monopolize the court."
Zhao Jiu looked at the memorial in his hand and suddenly laughed.
"The officials don't believe it?" Kang Lu was not anxious but overjoyed when he saw this. "In that case, why not summon a few old officials from Tokyo to ask? Don't the officials just want to meet the courtiers who are still there and inquire about the defense of the Central Plains?"
"Who are these old Tokyo ministers?" Zhao Jiu turned around and asked with a smile.
"Lü Haowen, a bachelor of the Zizheng Palace, is a famous Taoist. He originally resigned from his position as Minister Youcheng early and went to Zhixuanzhou, but the road was not smooth and he was worried about his majesty's health, so he didn't have time to leave. Zhang Jun, the imperial censor in the palace
, have always been upright... These two are both recognized moral figures, and they both escaped from Tokyo. Why don't your majesty meet them?" Kang Lu quickly pointed to the memorial in Zhao Guan's hand and said with a smile. "Moreover, the memorials of these two people.
, aren’t they the two oldest books that Guan Jia read tonight?”
"Since it was recommended by Official Kang, let's meet these two people tomorrow!" Zhao Jiu touched the memorial of Zhang Jun, the imperial censor in the middle hall, and became more and more amused.
ps: I would like to thank my book friend Huang Laojiu and Shangmeng who despise me for being poor and ugly. I would also like to thank many other friends who gave rewards and recommendation votes... Thank you all for coming back.
