Wang Zhengli and others also looked down at this time. They could clearly hear the shouts of the person who delivered the order. Although they had already known that the imperial court had sent reinforcements, who exactly was sent?
, to be honest, they really don’t know yet.
Now after listening to the words of the person who sent the order, everyone knew that the reinforcements sent by the emperor were actually led by Chu Yi, who was famous all over the world.
Wang Zhengli and others did not know much about Chu Yi, but they knew a lot. At least as Chu Yi entered the capital under the banner of Qingjun side and imprisoned Huizong Zhao Ji, and supported the new king Zhao Gou to ascend the throne, Chu Yi's name became
It spread throughout the world, and many stories about Chu Yi gradually spread.
As a person in the officialdom, it would be a lie to say that I don't know anything about Chu Yi. However, many of the rumors about Chu Yi that are circulating in the public are obviously just rumors. Therefore, it is said that Wang Zhengli and others know Chu Yi well.
Not too much.
Wang Zhengli, Chen Mi and others looked at each other. They knew very well what they had done before. Whether they could successfully pass the test this time would depend on whether Chu Yi could pass it well.
Wang Zhen didn't even notice the changes in the expressions of Wang Zhengli and others beside him. He was completely immersed in joy. Wang Zhen only felt that this night was like a dream. First, Zhang Xiaochun, who was the Xuanfu envoy, actually wanted to conquer Taiyuan City.
The Jin people even tricked him into capturing him. Just when he thought that Taiyuan City was about to fall into the hands of the Jin people, things turned upside down. Wang Zhengli and others actually brought order to the chaos, killed Zhang Xiaochun, and released him.
.Now even the imperial court’s reinforcements have arrived, and everything seems to be developing in a good direction.
Taking a deep breath, Wang Xun shouted in a deep voice: "Do you have a token from the King of Song Dynasty?"
How much vigilance did he keep? Wang Zhen was sure that at least 80% of the people outside the city were envoys from the King of Song. But he always wanted to be sure, what if the other party was a Jin man who came to deceive the city? If he accidentally fell into the trap of a Jin man,
If he was so deceived that he allowed the Jin people to enter the city, wouldn't his king become a sinner through the ages?
The messenger seemed to have expected this, and shouted loudly: "Your Highness's seal is here, please check it."
While he was talking, he saw a token flying over from downwind. Wang Zhen stretched out his hand to grab it and saw a heavy token fall into his hand.
After sweeping his eyes and seeing the token clearly, Wang Cun's expression became serious, and he immediately said respectfully: "The last general, Wang Chen, has accepted the order. Now he will open the city gate and welcome His Highness into the city."
At the same time, the army outside the city also arrived at the city. Soon Wang Zhen personally went down from the city tower. He only heard a creaking sound and saw the closed city gate slowly opening. At the same time, a red circle appeared on the horizon.
The sun jumped out of the horizon, casting a ray of light.
Bathed in the first ray of light from the horizon, the army entered Taiyuan City in a mighty manner.
In the Taiyuan Prefecture's Yamen, all officials from Taiyuan City, big and small, gathered here to pay their respects to Chu Yi.
In the hall, Chu Yi was sitting in the middle, his eyes falling on a dozen officials below. These dozen officials were the top officials of Taiyuan City.
With a quick glance, Chu Yi frowned and said, "Where is Zhang Xiaochun, the envoy of Xuanfu and also known as Taiyuan Prefecture?"
As the highest leader of the city, Zhang Xiaochun did not appear here. Of course, it attracted Chu Yi's attention. Seeing Chu Yi asking about Zhang Xiaochun's situation, Wang Zhen, Wang Zhengli and others had already expected this and looked at each other.
Seeing Wang Zhengli, he took a step forward and said, "Your Highness, Zhang Xuanfu's matter is quite complicated and involves a major treason case. Please tell me in detail."
Chu Yi glanced at Wang Zhengli indifferently. Although he didn't say anything, his meaning was very clear, and he wanted Wang Zhengli to continue talking.
Wang Zhengli straightened his clothes, and then told in detail how Zhang Xiaochun, who had been processed by them, surrendered to the Jin people and was beheaded by them.
Wang Zhen cupped his hands at the side and said: "Your Highness, this is the fact. You really know people but don't know their hearts. If Wang Zhengli and others hadn't brought order to the chaos, I'm afraid that the general would have been killed by Zhang Xiaochun by now, and even Taiyuan City would have fallen."
It’s in the hands of the person who made the deposit.”
After hearing Wang Zhengli's words, Chu Yi showed a half-smile, but at this moment a figure came over, walked up to Chu Yi, and whispered, Chu Yi's expression did not change, but he just rushed
Yang Zhi nodded slightly.
Yang Zhi stepped aside and glanced at Wang Zhengli and others, with a bit of disdain deep in his eyes.
The hall was quiet. After a dozen breaths, even a fool could feel the extremely depressing atmosphere in the hall.
Suddenly, Chu Yi said: "Wang Zhengli, Chen Mi, are you aware of your guilt?"
Wang Zhengli, Chen Mi suddenly felt something in his heart, and he knelt down on the ground almost instinctively. With a look of fear on his face, he shouted: "Your Highness, I don't know what the culpability of this subordinate is!"
Although there was a vague guess in their hearts that it was very likely that the fact that they and Zhang Xiaochun surrendered to the Jin people was leaked, they naturally had to fight to the end if they could resist, at least in the face of no conclusive evidence, they were not going to admit it.
Chu Yi gently knocked on the table, glanced at a few people and said, "It seems that some of you really can't shed tears without seeing the coffin."
Wang Zhengli looked aggrieved and said: "Your Highness, we are very loyal to the Song Dynasty, but I really don't know why Your Highness would frame us..."
Wang Zhen on the side looked at Chu Yi in surprise, then at the aggrieved expressions of Wang Zhengli and others, he opened his mouth and said: "Your Highness, Wang Zhengli and the others were threatened by Zhang Xiaochun before, so they had to pretend to comply.
, and then when he got the opportunity, he killed Zhang Xiaochun to bring order to the chaos. This move should be reported to His Majesty and please be commended by His Majesty!"
At this time, Yang Zhi, who was standing aside, couldn't stand it anymore and jumped out. He looked at Wang Zhengli and others with disdain and said: "You guys are really just like grass on the wall. If Yang remembers correctly, you were here not long ago.
In this hall, how did you and Zhang Xiaochun decide to surrender to the Jin people, how did you plot against General Wang Zhen here, and how did you force Zhang Xiaochun to death, and put all the blame on Zhang Xiaochun alone? Do you think that all these things can be understood
Have you forgotten?"
The expressions of Wang Zhengli and others changed slightly and they stared at Yang Zhi, and Wang Zhengli gritted his teeth and said: "Spurting blood on others is an attempt to impose a crime. We are not convinced, and we want to see His Majesty..."
Chu Yi sighed softly, looked at Wang Zhengli and others and said: "What you and others have done is really shameful. Even Zhang Xiaochun is much better than you. At least he dares to do something, but you are so petty."
His behavior makes him unworthy of being an official of the Song Dynasty."
While speaking, Chu Yi said to Yang Zhi: "Bring Wanyan Yinshuke here, I want to convince them."
Hearing Chu Yi's words, Wang Zhengli and others felt as if they were struck by lightning. A dozen people seemed to have lost their souls. Suddenly one of them crawled out wailing, lying on the ground and kowtowing to Chu Yi:
"Your Highness, please forgive me. Your Highness, please forgive me. I was wrong to wait. I was wrong to wait. Please forgive me for waiting because we didn't make a big mistake..."
Wang Zhengli, Chen Mi and others, who were still trying to hold on, were like deflated rubber balls and collapsed to the ground.
Even Wang Zhen on the side was dumbfounded. He looked at Wang Zhengli and others who were paralyzed on the ground, and then looked at the official lying on the ground wailing. Wang Zhen couldn't help but subconsciously pointed at Wang Zhengli and others. However, for a moment
In the meantime, he didn't know what to say.
Lu Shinang took a step forward, sneered, looked away from the few people, and then said to Chu Yi: "Your Highness, in Lu's opinion, these shameless people should be killed as a warning to others, otherwise they will not be enough to shock the world."
To be honest, everyone present really looked down upon Wang Zhengli and others. What they did was really too mean. It would be fine if they went all the way. However, these people
He killed Zhang Xiaochun and put all the blame on Zhang Xiaochun, but he acted as if nothing happened. Just thinking about it makes people despise him.
Especially the temperaments of people like Lu Da and Wu Song. If they hadn't suppressed the anger in their hearts, they might have slapped these people to death.
Chu Yi waved his hand and said calmly: "Take him down, interrogate him, submit the case file to the capital, and choose a day to kill him."
With a pop, Wang Zhengli and others rolled their eyes one by one, and even fainted from fright.
After these people were taken away, the lower-level officials waiting in the courtyard outside the hall looked at each other in shock when they saw Wang Zhengli and others being carried out by the soldiers. However, the news soon spread, and these officials all heard it.
I was very shocked, obviously I didn't expect that so many things happened in just one night.
In just one day, the Jin camp was broken, and the news that Zhang Xiaochun and others tried to surrender to Jin but were captured spread throughout Taiyuan Prefecture, and the people were excited, especially when they learned that the current Song Dynasty King Chu Yi personally led
The army came, and the people who had been panicked by the arrival of the Jin suddenly felt a lot more at ease.
At this moment, Chu Yi is playing chess with the same person. If anyone sees it, they will definitely be very surprised, because this person is none other than the captured Jinren West Route Army commander, Wanyan Zonghan.
On an extremely spacious carriage, Chu Yi and Wanyan Zonghan were sitting opposite each other. In front of them was a chessboard, and they were slowly making moves.
Chu Yi fell down and said calmly: "Nianhan, you are upset!"
Wanyan Zonghan, also known as Nian Han, took a deep breath after hearing this, dropped a chess piece, looked up at Chu Yi, who was sitting in front of him with a calm breath and good temperament, and said slowly: "You are really not afraid that you will never look back after this."
Road?"
Chu Yi chuckled and said: "You don't think that with the strength of Dajin, you can keep Chu's troops."
Nian Han stared at Chu Yi and said: "Although His Highness the King of Song has many strong men under his command, if I, Dajin, try my best, I might not be able to inflict heavy damage on His Highness. As the saying goes, the snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit. If so, Your Highness
If we suffer heavy losses, we may end up in prison when we return to the Song Dynasty."
Faced with Nianhan's threat, Chu Yi just smiled and said: "If Chu really suffered heavy losses, Zhao Gou would indeed attack Chu, but it would only be a big sum of money, so it would not hurt Chu..."
"
"You... are so arrogant!"
Nianhan obviously didn't expect Chu Yi to be so confident. To be honest, Nianhan thought that Chu Yi would use a few of them to negotiate with Dajin. The most likely outcome would be that the two parties would make peace and then return to the Sixteenth State of Yanyun.
As soon as he came, Chu Yi gained both benefits and a great reputation. When he returned to the capital with this great success, even if Chu Yi wanted to change the dynasty, he would probably not encounter much resistance.
With Nianhan's intelligence, he thought that if he were in Chu Yi's position, even if he didn't have the ambition to usurp the throne and didn't plan to trade them with Dajin, he would rest in Taiyuan City.
Then recruit men and horses and lead the army northward.
But beyond everyone's expectations, Chu Yi only stayed in Taiyuan Mansion for one day to replenish food and supplies, and tens of thousands of troops actually swore to join the Northern Expedition. You must know that when Nianhan learned the news that Chu Yi swore to join the Northern Expedition, his whole body
They were all stunned.
The Great Song Dynasty's Northern Expedition to Yanyun was not done once or twice. Each time, the entire country was devoted to the expedition, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were used. The preparation time alone was not more than a year or two. Comparing this, it seems that
Chu Yi's so-called Northern Expedition was so hasty that it felt like he was playing house.
Looking at Chu Yi sitting across from him, Nian Han suddenly felt that he couldn't see through Chu Yi for some reason. In fact, everything Chu Yi did was unexpected.
Ignoring the weird look Wanyan Zonghan gave him, Chu Yi suddenly said: "Your Excellency"
