Fu Song

Chapter 231: Infamy

Cui Ang deliberately slowed down the speed of the team. By the time he arrived at Bianliang, the sky was already getting dark, and the sound of bells and drums closing the city gates had gradually sounded.

When I left Beijing last year, I was so high-spirited, and when I came back this year, I was so sad and dark.A group of dozens of people, two carriages, and dozens of guards quietly entered the city gate with all their flags and flags silent.

Of course he didn't dare to return to Beijing with great fanfare.

In the battle of Guiyi City, thousands of Erlang of the Fourth Army died in battle. The family members of these people were all in Bianliang City. When the news came back to Bianliang, these people had already made a fuss. Crying loudly, the old and weak women and children kneeling all over the ground, the palace was terrified, and finally they managed to calm down.

Now, he, the chief culprit, has returned. If these people know the news, they might not be able to enter the city gate today.

After the defeat, he, the former peace envoy of Hebei, was transferred to the special negotiating envoy on the spot. Under the persecution of the Liao army's army approaching the city, the treaty he signed was the most humiliating contract in the Song Dynasty in decades.

Of course he didn't have the guts to sign, but this one in Bianliang City had already made up his mind, and someone from the palace brought a message. The black pot is backed down.

The only one who can save him now is the supreme being in the palace.

Cui Ang, who was curled up in the carriage, was a little out of shape.

Now, all he has in his heart is endless regret.

Why go to Hebei!

A defeat, a peace treaty, and the reputation he had accumulated over the past decades evaporated.And in order to preserve his wealth and power, he had to do more things, which made him sink into the abyss and never get up again.

Cui Ang knew very well that his colleagues in Beijing, at this moment, everyone was probably looking sideways at him.

Of course, the only ones who can be recognized as colleagues by Cui Ang are the princes of the two governments.

The princes of the two governments have always been unwilling to take part in the royal family affairs and the battle for the throne.Their status naturally determines that no matter who comes to power, they will have prosperity and wealth.

But this time, in order not to be knocked down by the enemy, what I did next was basically to hand in the vote certificate to the great prince.

But otherwise, what can we do?

Resigning sadly, leaving Bianliang with guilt, those former political enemies, I am afraid that they will pounce on him right away and bite him, bloody all over his body.

The emperor would not kill an important minister like himself, but it did not mean that others would not kill him, his life would not be lost, it did not mean that he would not suffer humiliation, and be deprived of all honor and family wealth.

Since the signing of the peace treaty, Cui Ang has not had a good night's sleep. As soon as he closed his eyes, his mind was filled with the ferocious and proud face of Urugu, the envoy of the Liao Kingdom.

Yes, Da Song was insulted again when signing the treaty.

On the side of the Great Song Dynasty, Cui Ang, a member of the Privy Council, was negotiating with the serious and honest Minister of the Western Mansion. Not only did Qishui County King and Nanjing Road Governor Yelujun not show up, even Lin Ping didn't show up, and even Yeluzhen didn't show up. Appear.

Standing in front of Cui Ang was Urugu who was full of blood and rudeness.

A contract that had been drawn up in advance was slapped heavily in front of Cui Ang, like to sign it or not!
And looking at Urugu's appearance, it looks like you'd better not sign it, so that I can continue to lead troops to attack.

For Cui Ang, the mind of these generals is basically wishing for chaos in the world!In this way, they have the opportunity to continue to make contributions.And none of the important ministers of the Liao people showed up, I am afraid that they also have the intention of continuing the war.

Hearing that the competition for the heir to the throne of the Liao Kingdom is becoming increasingly fierce, the Duke of Qishui probably has the intention to continue to expand his victories to gain more bargaining chips for himself.

It was under such multiple psychological pressures and worries that Cui Ang finally signed the peace treaty drafted by the Liao people.

All the land taken last year is gone!

Guiyi City is lost.

The Liao people crossed the Juma River.

The border line has advanced a full [-] miles to the Song Dynasty, and even the important border town, Tianmenzhai, was given to the Liao people.

The border defense line that Jing Wang Zhao Zhe had painstakingly built in Hebei was ruined in one day.

Now, the Liao people have the upper hand not only in strategy, but also in tactics.Attack if you want to attack, defend if you want to defend, the next Hebei defender will have a splitting headache.

Gently opened a gap in the thick curtains, Bianliang City was already brightly lit, even at night, even if this gate was the smallest and most remote gate in Bianliang City, but the city's The liveliness is still not comparable to other places.

In Bianliang City, there is no curfew.

At night, the bustle of the city is not inferior to that of the day.

Finally back!

Cui Ang's eyes were a little sore.

"Dog thief!" There was a sudden roar from outside, and then a gust of wind came.

The roar of the guards followed, and with a bang, something hit the shields of the guards. Naturally, the skills of these guards from the Golden Spear Squad were beyond words.

"Catch the assassin!" The guard captain Lu Xiong's voice rang out, but after that, he suddenly became dumb.

A stench came in even through the carriage.

The guard who had just used his shield to block the smashing object widened his eyes. It was a mass of shit wrapped in a few leaves.

And the reason why Lu Xiong stopped his mouth suddenly was because he realized that they, who had just walked out of the city gate, were not facing any assassins at all, but pairs of angry eyes.

Dense crowds of men, women, old and young came out from both sides of the street, and further away, there were still people gathering here, and they were all holding things in their hands.

"It's over!" Lu Xiong only said this, and immediately circled the horse, erected his shield, and shrank himself back.Of course, he is still a qualified guard, because at the same time, he also protected Cui Ang in the carriage beside him.

The next moment, countless things flew over covering the sky and covering the sun, and landed on the shield and the carriage with a loud sound, and an indescribable smell permeated the street.

Rotten eggs, rotten mud, all kinds of feces, even dead cats and dogs.

The scolding of the "national thief" resounded throughout the world.

"Forward, forward!" Lu Xiong just poked his head out for a moment, and a rotten egg hit his face accurately, and he almost wanted to draw his sword and move forward from embarrassment.

But the blood only surged for a while before he suppressed it.

This is Bianliang, and here is the foot of the emperor.

Any reckless behavior will bring him disaster.

Furthermore, he also knew that this disaster was not aimed at him, Lu Xiong, but the one he was guarding behind now.

The poor groom kept his head down as much as he could, and kept his hands firmly on the reins, for fear that the horse would be startled and out of control. If another startled horse came and trampled on the people, he wouldn't have to live.

In a short while, whether it's a groom or a straight man like Lu Xiong, his body is already covered with dirt.A group of people walked forward step by step with great difficulty.

Of course, someone revealed the information about Cui Ang's return to Beijing.

A siege took place here.

Cui Ang sat in the carriage, his face as ugly as black coal.

He doesn't care about these so-called public opinions at all, because such public opinions come and go quickly, and their attention will soon be diverted by other things.

What he cares about is that someone wants to punish him when he has already fallen to this point.Otherwise, there would be no news leaked out, and at this time, the soldiers on the watch shop and the army on patrol in the capital hadn't appeared yet, allowing themselves to be humiliated here.

At this moment, he had already thought of many things clearly.

Some people didn't want to stay in the capital, so they staged such a scene.

Things have become like this, even if the emperor wants to protect himself, he is unlikely to let himself stay in the Privy Council, but I don't know, where are they going to get themselves?

Cui Ang gritted his teeth.

I have taken such a big scapegoat for the emperor, but can't I get some security in return?If it weren't for the emperor's oral order, he would never have dared to sign that peace treaty.

There was continuous shouting and cursing outside, and Cui Ang once again opened the curtains a gap, looking at the situation outside, he suddenly felt a sudden thump in his heart.

If someone wanted to assassinate him here, wouldn't this be an excellent opportunity?

There are definitely many enemies of oneself now.

Thinking of this, Cui Ang immediately drenched his clothes with sweat, and his face became terrified. He shrank to the corner of the room and pulled out the saber on one side.

On the left side of the road, above a restaurant, several burly men stood in front of the window, and the leader was Qin Min.He stared fixedly at the slowly moving carriage below, the murderous look in his eyes couldn't be suppressed no matter what.

Hold the left hand empty, and make a bowstring with the right hand. Slowly, until the full moon is full, there is a sound of collapse in the mouth!Qin Min spit out a foul breath.

"Brother, Cui Ang is on top of the second carriage. If we attack, we will be able to cut off his dog's head!" A man put his hand on the handle of his waist and said murderously.

"It's a pity, if you have a few god arm bows, you can still take the thief's life!" Another person said.

"What nonsense!" Beside Qin Min, Gao He stared and reprimanded: "The old general was accused of being a traitor by them. If we do this, don't we prove the crime of the old general? We came to Beijing for The old general came here to avenge his grievances."

"Master Zhou, so what if the grievances are avenged, will the imperial court kill this dog head to avenge the old general? He is the Lord of the West Mansion!" a man said unconvinced. "It's better for us to make a clean break and have a good time."

"Nonsense, are you going to make the major general shameless for the rest of his life, so he can only change his name and surname to live in darkness?" Gao He said angrily, "If this is really the case, how can we stand up to the old general who treats us like this? Human kindness?"

In the room, there was no sound at once, only the sound of heavy breathing remained.

"Besides, who says you can't kill this guy in the future?" Gao He jumped out word by word.

"How to kill him? He is the Lord of the West Mansion!"

"This time, this fellow has formed a death feud with King Jing!" Gao He sneered, "If one day we can help King Jing ascend to the Great Treasure and win the throne, why would King Jing not deal with this person?"

Qin Min, who had been silent all this time, suddenly turned around and looked at Gao He: "Master Zhou, when will I see His Royal Highness King Jing?"

"Young General, we have to wait a little longer. The situation in Beijing is still tense. There are many spies outside King Jing's mansion! We can't cause trouble for King Jing anymore, let's wait a little longer!" Gao He said.

Qin Min nodded: "This New Year's Day, take a chance and see if you can let me meet General Tao."

"This is a good idea!" Gao He said with a smile: "Although Tao Tongzhi was promoted after entering Beijing, he was also deprived of his military power, which is quite unsatisfactory."

"Deprived of military power?" Qin Min chuckled: "Tao Dayong's Dingwu Army, that is the army that has been with him for many years, and the friendship that has been fought through life and death many times. The relationship between them was broken down. If you want to break Tao Dayong's control over the Dingwu Army, unless you change the officers of the Dingwu Army from top to bottom. It doesn't take a few years for them to do it ?"

"I'll arrange it!" Gao He said: "Go and find out the tone of this man first, and then get in touch with the battalion generals under the Dingwu Army. As far as I know, their life in the capital is very unsatisfactory."

"Can it be as you wish?" Qin Min sneered: "They are frontier soldiers, they are regarded as bumpkins by the people here, and they are the troops of the second king's direct line. Now the second king is out of luck. If they live well, then it's no wonder! Think about us frontier soldiers, throwing their heads and blood, eating poorly and wearing poor clothes, and going forward for the emperor and Song Dynasty, but in the end we all ended up like this, ha, if we don’t come to Bianliang, I really don’t know how they see us .One day, let these people know who we are!"

"One day!" Several people in the room clenched their fists.

Led by Qin Min, the original frontier warriors, after being hit again and again, their loyalty to the imperial court is falling again and again. If there is not another Zhao Zhe who makes them look forward to it, these people, I'm afraid It's about to break the can.

The remnants of the Fourth Frontier Army who were turned into traitors by Cui Ang and then killed arrived in Bianliang one after another under the arrangement of someone with good intentions.

Right now, the number of people that Qin Min can control has exceeded a thousand.

These people are distributed in various places and industries in Bianliang.It sounds like a lot of people, but in a big city like Bianliang with a population of over one million, it is like water droplets merging into the sea, so how can it be eye-catching?

But once these people gather together, the energy they can unleash must be extremely astonishing.

Don't forget, at the beginning Xiao Ding only brought ten personal guards, and it was terrible to beat the hundred elites of the Fourth Army.As for Qin Min's frontier troops, even if they were not as good as Xiao Ding's relatives, they were not far behind.Like Qin Min's own skill, he is not weaker than Xiao Ding.They are all heroes forged from fighting with the Liao people in the border areas!
