Both Kang Yaban and Zhao Guanjia felt that they were in control, but little did they know that the two of them were just as ridiculous as sparrows pecking each other.
Kang Abban was secretly proud of himself because he thought that all these papers had been carefully screened during the day. Judging from the content, everyone was one of his own, and there was no problem in recommending anyone. However, he did not know that his
These behaviors and behaviors were clearly explained to the Zhao Guan family by Yang Yizhong from the beginning.
As for our Zhao Guanjia, despite his appearance of being wise and powerful, in fact the fundamental reason is not that he possesses wisdom, but that he never counted on these tricks from the beginning, and his pride only comes from yesterday's victory.
It hasn't dissipated yet.
To put it bluntly, this guy is young after all. He had been holding back for many days before, and once he won half of it, he became happy and angry.
To put it simply, it’s just four words: getting carried away.
As for what happened to Mrs. So-and-so and those palace servants, it was just the humanistic mentality of a modern person with normal outlook on things that took advantage of the situation.
And the memorial to Lu Haowen and Zhang Jun is even more ridiculous.
By the way, the reason why our Zhao Guan family noticed the memorials of these two people is that the former is because the name is nice and the official position is high (he just resigned from the Zizheng Palace as Shangshu Youcheng), especially because the mechanical memory of Zhao Jiu's body is still there.
, can understand the text inside, so he can tell at a glance that his writing is excellent and his tone is gentle, so he naturally pays attention to it; and the latter is because Zhao Guan's family has a relatively low level of history, so he thinks that the censor is a censor.
Another well-known figure in this era is Zhang Jun, Taiwei Zhang... It’s just that Taiwei Zhang is now in his forties, and he has been in charge of the imperial army for a long time. He is very famous in the army, including Yang Yizhong.
, 30% of the Imperial Guards must have come from Zhang Taiwei's command, and he knew that they were still outside to suppress the bandits, so Zhao Guanjia couldn't understand after looking at it for a long time that he had admitted the wrong person and was confused.
?
But back to the present, no matter how stupid the Zhao Guan family is, they know that since these memorials can be delivered to them, they cannot expect these senior officials to have any positive stance.
Think about it too.
First of all, the people who are here are all people who are on the run from their country's subjugation. Difficult conditions exist objectively, and many people are really depressed and have no intention of fighting. Secondly, during the previous struggle in Nanjing, there was a kind of attack on the main militant faction.
It means cleansing.
In this case, even if there is really a militant faction, it will probably take time to dispel their doubts before they emerge, right?
But no matter what, in late August, as the sky cleared up slightly, Zhao Jiu, who had come to this era about ten years ago, used Zhao Guan's family's words for the first time, excluding the muddle-headed soothing gesture on the second day after coming out of the well.
I met two important ministers with my identity, which finally broke through the previous five-person fence.
The two sides met in the back hall, with Kang Lu and Yang Yizhong accompanying them. The salutes were completed and the greetings were completed. It was uneventful. Then naturally, Lu Haowen, with his status as a bachelor of Zizheng Palace and his qualifications as Minister of the Ministry of War and Minister Youcheng
I asked the right questions first, but I started with some random gossip.
You must know that this gossip may seem boring, but it is actually necessary.
Since Zhao Guan's family fell into a trap, he has rarely had contact with foreign ministers in the name of recuperating from his injuries, and this sudden request to discuss the defense of the Central Plains in civil and military affairs was even vaguely acknowledging that the official had suffered a head injury and had forgotten some personnel matters. Therefore, Lu
Haowen's trip seemed to have a political mission to observe the official's physical condition on behalf of the foreign ministers. The Zhao family needed to contact the foreign ministers to regain power, and the foreign ministers had to roughly verify the legitimacy of the emperor no matter what they said.
In the current situation, we can't really count on an Emperor Hui of Song Dynasty, right? Of course, if he really becomes Emperor Hui of Song Dynasty, there is no way he can do it.
But fortunately, Zhao Guanjia was clear in articulation, smooth in speech, and calm in posture. The two sides had a small talk, not to mention the others in the back hall, but Lu Xueshi was completely relieved - this official was indeed not stupid!
At this time, Zhao Jiu also just knew some details about Lu Haowen, such as the fact that this person's "Taoism" was not the Tao of Mingdao Palace, but the famous Confucian Taoism in history. Moreover, Lu Haowen came into being. From a famous family, his great-uncle Lu Mengzheng, his great-grandfather Lu Yijian, and his grandfather Lu Gongzhu were all prime ministers.
At the same time, Zhao Jiu also understood why Kang Lu recommended this person to see him with confidence. It was because this person had resigned as Minister Youcheng (deputy prime minister) because of Li Gang's attack on the exiled minister in Tokyo. ——This person participated in Zhang Bangchang’s puppet dynasty in Bianliang, Tokyo, but he was also the first person to persuade Zhang Bangchang to return the throne.
But it is obvious that this Taoist teacher is far from the Taoist teacher in Zhao Jiu's impression. He is gentle and elegant, and he answers all questions, but he neither takes the opportunity to attack Li Gang nor speaks too much. The politics of Wang and Wang are just like this He gently advised Zhao Jiu to do everything according to his ability, just like the Chinese characters in his memorial.
Through this, Zhao Jiu also learned some hidden secrets.
"I see that many people say in their memorials that there are no soldiers in the north. Is it true that there are no soldiers in Hebei and the Central Plains?"
"In fact, there are soldiers, but most of them are random soldiers and militiamen. Even if they are recruited, they cannot be used as a field attack by the Jin." Lu Haowen said calmly. "The people of Hebei were poisoned by the Jin and had a fighting spirit, but they had no weapons or armor. Therefore, most of them can only rely on the mountains and fields to fight; the Central Plains is full of insurrectionary troops. There are many people and some armors, but most of them are forbidden troops who collapsed from the Jin people's formation. They dare not fight with the Jin people at all. Instead, they can only bring trouble to the place... If not, even if Li Boji dared to fight, he would not have let the officials go to Nanyang. By going to Nanyang, they hope to connect with the northwest and bring in 200,000 Western troops."
"I understand." Zhao Jiu sighed slightly. This is very similar to what he knew, and it should be the truth. "If you really want to resist the Jin, you need the wealth of Jiangnan and Bashu, the second is the soldiers and horses from the northwest, and the third We need to slowly restore morale everywhere, is this what you mean?"
"yes."
"You are persuading me to go to Yangzhou, because Yangzhou is the starting point of the canal, and it is the node where wealth is transported and gathered in the southeast. Do you want to use this as the basis and slowly plan for it?"
"yes."
"But I want to travel south, how can I defend the Central Plains?"
"Tokyo will leave Zong behind, and Shandong will send another general..."
"If the main force of the Jin army suddenly attacks, can they hold on?" Zhao Jiu raised his eyebrows slightly. Facing real difficulties, he was no longer as proud as the villain last night.
"..."
"I understand." Zhao Jiu adjusted his mentality slightly and managed to keep his face as normal. "What if the Jin army abandons both and goes directly from Nanjing to Bozhou, chasing Xing Xing all the way south?"
"Lean on the Huaihe River and wait for reinforcements from all directions, and use Tokyo and Shandong to flank it."
"If the Huaihe River cannot be defended, and Shandong and Tokyo cannot rely on it, so what?"
"Abandon Yangzhou, go south of the Yangtze River, and guard the Yangtze River."
"What if the Yangtze River cannot be defended?"
Lu Haowen was silent again.
"I understand." Zhao Jiu sighed slightly. "There is something I need to tell Academician Lu. I fell into a well before and although my body was fine, I actually forgot some people and things during my illness, which made my heart turbulent while I was walking. ... Therefore, Lu Qing will not go to Xuanzhou. He will resume your position as Minister Youcheng and stay here for consultation. This is also to use your qualifications to appease people's hearts."
Kang Lu, who had been silent all this time, raised his head in surprise. He instinctively wanted to interrupt, but suddenly realized that although the two men in the palace had similar positions, they were not his political allies at all. According to the rules, he, a chamberlain, was not qualified to speak at this time.
of.
Of course, after experiencing the turmoil of the previous two days, Kang Lu no longer demanded perfection. Although Lu Haowen was sincere, he was actually a supporter of going south. What else could he do?
Therefore, Official Kang immediately shut up, and more or less realized why the officials had always been confident yesterday... It would be ridiculous for the ministers to want to compete with the officials for power.
On the other side, Lu Haowen hesitated for a moment and then wanted to make a slight refusal in accordance with the rules.
"When the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, it would be pedantic to learn the three words and three concessions at this time." Zhao Jiu naturally understood what the other party meant, so he simply said. "In the future, such appointments will be possible if they can, but they will not be able to... The country
The government is in ruins and the imperial court is in exile. We, as the core of the country, are just putting on airs here. Little do we know that a few words or a few wasted paper and ink can be exchanged for money and food, and we can save a few lives in this mess."
This is a moral kidnapping of a moral gentleman. The kidnapped Lu Haowen did not dare to say anything and could only bow his head and obey his orders. Then Kang Lu did not dare to neglect and hurriedly summoned a reliable Hanlin to write an edict in the wing.
...and making such a summons made Official Kang feel even more depressed. The Song Dynasty system is here, and whenever officials want to claim power, what can people like them do to resist? Only these days do they have the power in their hands.
, Officer Kang could only feel his heart twisting when he thought that he would no longer be able to hold this power in the future.
"Scholar Lu... Mr. Lu, please sit down." Seeing the other person receiving the order, Zhao Jiu was greatly relieved. When he looked at the other person, he couldn't help but ran out of ideas. "Zhang Yushi..."
"Please tell me in private!"
The imperial censor Zhang Jun, who had been standing still and was probably in his thirties, was someone Zhao Jiu had never counted on. Suddenly he did something that no one could react to.
"What does it mean to play the right match in private?" Zhao Jiu, who came back to his senses, was confused for a moment. "Isn't this just playing the right match in private?"
"Report to Your Majesty." Lu Haowen stood up immediately. "Zhizhi, there are many precedents for imperial censors to complain privately. They either impeach the chief executive, hold ministers accountable, or recommend key figures... Please resign."
"Why does this need to be discussed in private?" Zhao Jiu came to his senses, and while he was vigilant in his heart, he smiled softly. "I have also heard of Zhang Qing's name. It is said that Li Boji and Li Xianggong's two dismissals were related to your impeachment. Yesterday,
Your memorial also seeks to hold Xianggong Li accountable, and the intensity of your words impressed me deeply..."
"If not, how can we see the beauty of the sky?" He said in private, without even bringing the elephant wat, the young Zhang Jun directly raised his head to face him and said with his hands. "That's all... Your Majesty, Zhang Jun, the imperial censor in the palace, impeached the prime minister.
Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan, the prime minister of the imperial court, and the Minister of Internal Affairs, Ban Kanglu, have isolated themselves from the inside and outside, and have evil intentions. I ask you to recall Li Gang, the great scholar of Guanwen Palace. I ask you to recall all the commanders of the imperial camp and return to work temporarily to calm people's hearts."
The whole hall was completely silent. Not even mentioning the war between Kang Daguan and Zhao Guan, even our Zhao Guan family were dumbfounded.
