Song Gexing

Chapter 69: The Corruption of the Forbidden Army

"He raised his old master's son to become a talented person, and then drove away his old master's son when he wanted to rebel. Although Li Yun was a sinner in our Song Dynasty, he was a kind and righteous man. Xiao Wang now admires him."

Zhao Fang was very moved. There are thousands of different kinds of people in the world. Whether they are friends or enemies, those who are affectionate and righteous are worthy of respect, because no matter how bad such a person is, there is still a bottom line.

Li Yun was indeed the sinner of the Song Dynasty. If he hadn't rebelled, Zhao Kuangyin might have had the opportunity to take back the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun. After all, the elite of the early Song Dynasty, the Khitans really couldn't defeat them.

Chai Rong had already dealt a heavy blow to the Liao Kingdom, and Zhao Kuangyin had accepted the elite of the Later Zhou Dynasty in its entirety, and he also had ambitions to regain his former homeland.

But Er Li's rebellion not only made him lose some elite soldiers, but also made him lose a good opportunity. The Liao Kingdom took a breath and could only decide on a strategy of going south first and then north.

Otherwise, why would he attack Southern Tang and Southern Vietnam? As soon as the Song Dynasty was established, Southern Vietnam and Southern Tang would immediately declare themselves vassals. Moreover, these two families would not have to deal with them, so they could just deal with them last.

As for Meng Chang of Hou Shu, he closed his door and did not dare to covet Guanzhong. It can be said that apart from the Northern Han Dynasty, the only enemy left at that time was the Liao Kingdom.

And to fight Liao is to fight the Northern Han, and to fight the Northern Han is also to fight the Liao. The two are one, and the Northern Han is the Pingfan of the Liao.

"It's really hard to investigate this matter! It's been so long since it happened, and it was just after the founding of the People's Republic of China. It's easy to register household registrations. As long as you change your name, no one will get to the bottom of it."

Wang Zhongzheng now knew that this was a major event, but it was indeed difficult to investigate. During the Song Taizu era, the world was not yet completely peaceful, and wars caused a large flow of people.

When local governments receive refugees, they only need to register their names and population, and have little time to pay attention to the rest, except for those who have been reported for serious crimes.

And when the world is stable, these people will already live and work in peace and contentment. As long as they don't make mistakes, their past experiences will be submerged in history.

Only in your own family can you pass down your family history from generation to generation. Some people even skip this and do not tell future generations what happened to their ancestors.

Zhao Fang also knew it was difficult, shook his head and sighed: "Do your best and let fate do what you want, as long as nothing happens."

As he spoke, he changed the subject and said: "The investigation of the imperial army has achieved results. I have been banned from going out these few days, but I am suffocated to death."

Wang Zhongzheng covered his mouth and snickered, then immediately rolled his eyes and said: "The king is asking how the villain found the Forbidden Army just after returning from Xijing."

"Little Zhengzi, you are holding me back! How dare you talk back."

Wang Zhongzheng is not afraid of him. The master and servant have been playing together since childhood and know each other's temperament very well, so his tone is not angry.

He curled his lips and was about to retort when Liu Jisun hurriedly responded: "Your Majesty, I know this very well. The Fourth Army of the Infantry Division, Tiger Wing Left Wing, lost 77 crossbows. The Division in Front of the Palace, Yulong Crossbow, had a double crossbow. Lost, there are still four other armies involved that have lost their crossbows sporadically."

"How brave!"

Zhao Fang immediately became angry. The Infantry Division Tiger Wing Army was the elite of the Forbidden Army. Although it was not as good as the Fourth Army, it was still an army with a good reputation and was good at fighting. Did it die so quickly?

Especially Yulong Nuzhi, who is the elite and full-time crossbowman team of the Palace Front Division, can actually lose the bed crossbow. Are these people all pigs?

"Who is responsible? Has the court decided how to deal with it?"

Zhao Fang asked angrily.

Seeing that he was angry, Liu Jisun also solemnly raised his hands and said: "A total of nineteen generals and colonels were arrested, involving [-] soldiers. They were all imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. The Court of Punishment decided that they would all be beheaded in public."

"Okay! I just want to kill a group of people, and the imperial army has become a mess. It's only been a few years!"

Zhao Fang was relieved a lot when he heard this, waved his hands fiercely and said.Liu Jisun hesitated for a moment and hesitated, but Zhao Fang didn't see him at all. He walked to his seat to read a book.

Wang Zhongzheng saw something was wrong with Liu Jisun and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong with Jingwen? What's wrong?"

Zhao Fang then looked up at him and said in confusion: "If you have something to say, just tell me, why are you hesitating with me?"

Liu Jisun then spoke: "Old General Huyan Bixian, the deputy commander of the Xiaoqi Army in front of the palace, was arrested and imprisoned. He lost two crossbows."

"Who! Hu Yan will appear, how is this possible?"

Zhao Fang stood up in surprise. Liu Jisun nodded solemnly and said: "I also find it incredible. It is fair to say that others are incompetent. How could he make such a mistake? But the thing happened. It was his personal soldiers who sold two Equipped with a crossbow machine."

Zhao Fang was stunned and stood there tangled up. After a long while, he stamped his feet and said, "Let's go! Go to the palace to see my father. Others can't kill him."

"Hey, my king, you can't leave the palace! Who dares to let you out under the ban issued by the officials and the Queen!"

Wang Zhongzheng hurriedly stopped him. He didn't dare to do anything to others. As long as his master was safe, others would let him die.

Zhao Fang slapped away his open arms like an old hen protecting her cubs, glared at him angrily and said, "Either you follow, or you stay at home and guard me. If you dare to stop me, I will ask you to wash the bucket."

"Just wash, the king just can't go."

"You! You're so angry with me. Come on, pull this kid away."

Zhe Jizu and others who came in after hearing the sound looked at each other in shock when they saw this situation. When Zhao Fang saw that they were not moving, he jumped angrily and urged them to pull Wang Zhongzheng away quickly.

"You don't listen to me, right? If you don't listen now, what can I expect from you in the future!"

Zhong Er helplessly spread his hands to Wang Zhongzheng, Wang Zhongzheng was also clever, and immediately shouted: "Don't do anything, I'll go! Just go with you, at worst, I will be beaten up by the officials."

"Shit! My father is the only one who knows how to beat people."

Zhao Fang gave him a disdainful eye roll, put his hands behind his back and asked Zhao Pan'er to bring him some clothes. When Zhe Jizu saw this, he hurried out to prepare the car, mobilize guards and other matters.

Yang Wenguang, who was defending the Yanning Palace, felt dizzy at the time. He wanted to stop him but knew he couldn't stop him, so he stomped his feet to select the soldiers himself, and prepared to go out to protect them.

"Wait! Wait for me. Your Majesty, you can't leave me. You didn't take me there last time. Not this time."

Seeing Zhao Fang and others about to leave, Yan Jidao threw down his books and chased after him, shouting. Thanks to his short legs, he had been practicing martial arts with Zhao Fang for the past year, otherwise he would not be able to catch up.

Neither he nor Liu Jisun went to watch the murder last time. They both regretted it privately after what happened. Without them in times of danger, it wouldn't be much of a companion.

Zhao Fang looked at the puffy Yan Jidao, laughed, stretched out his hand to poke his puffed face and said cheerfully, "OK, okay, I'll take you this time, you're a brat and you like to get angry."

"What a brat, the king is one year older than me."

Yan Jidao was not happy anymore, he frowned and said "Humph" and got into the car first. He would not reason with the unreasonable people. This was his code of conduct.

Everyone laughed, and Han Xue and other girls who came to see them off looked at Zhao Fang with disgust, saying that he would bully honest people without being serious.
