The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 96 Hussar General

Song Huizong shouted: "Where are Tong Guan and Tan Zhen?"

Tong Guan and Tan Zhen stood up from the crowd in a panic. Zhao Gou glanced at Tong Guan and felt that he was not as majestic as before. .Tong Guan and Tan Zhen are also aggrieved, and there are hardships that cannot be described. They used to be glorious, showing off their power and calling the wind and rain in the court. Even Song Huizong did not dare to get angry with them, he could only appease them.

Ever since Gao Qiu woke up quickly, the life of Tong Guan, Tan Zhen and others has become more and more difficult, and they are not treated by Gao Qiu.The two of them used to be the same as Cai Jing, and they were both traitors and traitors. Song Huizong eradicated Cai Jing's influence in the capital with lightning speed, and even some confidantes were excluded, and they were not allowed to stay as officials in the capital.

Tong Guan and Tan Zhen finally survived the difficult period, and when they ushered in the second peak of their lives, something like this happened, which made them complain endlessly.Moreover, the two of them already knew the reason for Song Huizong's anger, and it was all because of their own greed, and they regretted it at the beginning.

Song Huizong said coldly: "Look at the good deeds you two have done in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Show me a good look and see clearly. I wanted to use you two again. I never thought that you would be so heartless. It was a waste of me to let you go." When you enter Beijing, you should be allowed to stay in Jiangsu and Zhejiang."

Tong Guan and Tan Zhen hurriedly knelt on the ground crying, and shouted: "The emperor has mercy! The emperor has mercy!..."

"Forgive me? I spared your lives, how can I face those dead generals, and how can I face the people of the world? After all, there are no more disputes in the world, and it is because of your two people's greed for pleasure that it leads to such a big conflict." Here comes the matter. If you didn’t have only one head, I wish I could cut you into pieces.”

Song Huizong became angry and sighed: "If I knew this was the result, I should abolish those exorbitant taxes as soon as possible. I am really ashamed of the people of the world and my ancestors! If they were abolished as soon as possible, there would be no civil strife one after another, and the people would rise up one after another. Against the imperial court, against me!"

"Come here, pull the two of them out and put them to death!"

When Tong Guan and Tan Zhen heard Zhao Ji's execution of them Ling Chi, they were stunned, their heads were dizzy, and they were restless. They hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, and said: "The emperor, please forgive me! Your majesty, these years have not been credited, but there has been hard work. For the sake of the old minister's loyalty, I beg the emperor to spare the lives of the ministers and others! Your majesty..."

Song Huizong was upset when he heard this, and roared angrily: "What are you doing still standing there, pull it out and chop it up!"

The guards hurried up, stripped off Tong Guan and Tan Zhen's court clothes and official hats, they really came naked, and left naked again.When Tong Guan and Tan Zhen saw that Song Huizong had really eaten the weight, they were determined to kill them. No matter how much they yelled and begged for mercy, it would be of no avail. .

"what!……"

After a while, the officials heard the heart-piercing screams of Tong Guan and Tan Zhen. They didn't remember begging for mercy, the pain in their bodies was far more than anything else.The two of them also dreamed that there would be such a day when they were once so beautiful, but today they were reduced to being executed by Ling Chi.

It is still pardonable for the evil done by the sky, but it is impossible to live for the evil done by oneself.

Song Huizong didn't say the reason, and directly executed the two of them on the spot. The officials had their own thoughts, but Zhao Gou and others were secretly happy and applauded; Gao Qiu and others were silent and trembling.When they heard the miserable sound, they thought of themselves and wondered if such a situation would happen someday.

After Zhao Ji executed Tong Guan and Tan Zhen, he felt much more comfortable, but his face was still a little angry, and he said in a low voice, "Do you know why I am so angry?"

All the ministers bowed and replied, "I don't know!"

"It's understandable that you don't know, and I don't want you." Song Huizong said, "Tong Guan and Tan Zhen were sent by me to serve as officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. In my name, I can do whatever I want in the jurisdiction, plunder the people, and wantonly build my own mansion, which is comparable to the luxury of the imperial palace."

"I love Huashigang very much, and I also know that the mountains and rivers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are picturesque. I once issued an imperial decree ordering the people to donate Huashigang and built forests and gardens. It aroused people's anger. He was the envoy of Xuanfu of Jiangsu and Zhejiang when he was young, and when Tan Zhen was the envoy of the Liangzhe Road System, he actually bullied the people without telling me, and imposed taxes and corvees, and finally forced the local people to gather together to rebel."

Song Jiang and others showed embarrassment. They knew that Song Huizong was not talking about themselves, but they still felt a little hot on their faces, so they bowed their heads.Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty saw the expressions of Song Jiang and others, but he didn't explain it. He didn't have this thought anymore, and continued: "A rebel army appeared in the area under their jurisdiction. Sheng Gong', if he is 'Sheng Gong', then who am I?"

"Song Aiqing once gathered a crowd to revolt on Liangshan. I sent an envoy to recruit security, and I also sent an envoy to recruit security to let him serve the Song Dynasty. I never thought that this person not only killed the envoy who sent the letter, but also wrote a letter in his own hand, saying I am fatuous and immoral, arrogant, extravagant and dissipated, not worthy to be called the king of a country, let me give up the throne and hand over the throne to this person."

"At the beginning, I listened to the report of the two of them, thinking that the matter had been dealt with. The real result was that they fled back to the capital quietly, so as not to harm Chi Yu. In addition, the rebels had captured dozens of cities in the Song Dynasty, and I was still in the dark. In Guli, even Chen Jian, Lianfang envoy Zhao Yue and other officials were beheaded for public display, and the entire Jiangsu-Zhejiang area seems to have fallen into the hands of thieves. I am still as stable as Mount Tai. I don’t know the situation.

"The number of the rebel army has assembled to one million, and this guy uttered wild words, asking me to step down as soon as possible to avoid further fighting. If he doesn't give up, he will kill me in Bianjing City and take my head! Haha!... Rebellion He is the first person in the army to have such courage, and it is also the first time that I have ordered to kill a person without mercy, and if this person is not dead, the hatred in my heart will not be dispelled."

Everyone was silent for a while, and they knew why Song Huizong was so angry. Anyone who happened to this matter would be very angry.Moreover, Song Huizong was still the king of a country, so it was only natural that he was murderous.In his own country, to be so ridiculed by his subjects, and even more so, to ignore him, such a shameful humiliation, no man can bear it, let alone he is the king of a country.

Song Huizong shouted; "I want them all to die. All participants, except the old, the weak, women, children, soldiers, etc., as long as they are above the general level and unwilling to surrender will be killed. I want to destroy his nine clans, who will be in command in this battle, and go to conquer this thief leader?"

The court ministers were silent, no one dared to win with confidence, the enemy had millions of troops, and they broke through dozens of cities in a row, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas seemed to be under his jurisdiction, evenly matched with the Song Dynasty, and even faintly surpassed.Moreover, Song Huizong went on to say: "This time only victory is not allowed and failure is not allowed. The loser will come to see him first. The winner will be rewarded generously. Who dares to go?"

The ministers of the DPRK and China remained silent, and no one dared to stand up.Even in the face of high-ranking officials and rich salary, they still put their own lives first, maybe they are blessed without life, and everyone can't help but hesitate.However, Zhao Gou and Song Jiang stood up at the same time and said in unison: "I am willing to go!"

Song Huizong didn't look at Zhao Gou. He knew in his heart that Zhao Gou would definitely request to send troops. Unexpectedly, Song Jiang also stood up and asked in surprise, "Does Song Aiqing want to go out? Do you know that the chance of failure in this battle is relatively high?" , the enemy has an army of millions!"

Song Jiang bowed and replied: "I know, but it doesn't matter! I have just accepted the recruitment, and I have received such attention from the emperor. At this time, the Song Dynasty is in trouble, and I should do my part. I don't hesitate to do anything. It's difficult, everyone is responsible, the minister is a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty and an official of the imperial court, so he should do his best to be loyal to the emperor and serve the Great Song Dynasty, and dare not be careless in the slightest."

Song Huizong praised: "This is a true loyal minister, and I grant Aiqing's request."

"I have one more request, I wonder if the emperor will agree?" Song Jiang bowed and continued without getting up.

Song Huizong wondered: "I don't know what's the matter with Aiqing? As long as I can do it, I will do it."

Song Jiang replied: "I want the king of Guangping County to be the commander-in-chief and lead the ministers to destroy the rebels. I wonder if the emperor will agree?"

Zhao Gou looked at Song Jiang dumbfounded, Song Huizong also looked at Song Jiang in surprise, then at Zhao Gou, frowned and said, "I don't know why Aiqing wants the county king to go?"

"Your majesty doesn't know that the minister surrendered to the court and was willing to accept the envoy. This is the county king's credit. The Liangshan army led by the minister was defeated by the Song army led by the county king. The army was defeated. If the county king hadn't shown mercy, the minister would have died in Qingzhou City .If the county king is willing to be commander-in-chief and lead us to charge into battle, we will surely win the battle."

Song Jiang replied neither humble nor overbearing, and Song Huizong also looked at Zhao Gou in surprise. There was no explanation in the memorial, so it is very normal for Zhao Ji to be unclear.When Song Jiang said this, the ministers in the DPRK and China were all surprised. They never thought that the real hero of recruiting security this time was actually Zhao Gou, who won by relying on his true ability, not in vain.

Song Huizong glanced at Zhao Gou reproachfully, feeling a little emotional and excited, and said in a deep voice, "Gouer, are you willing to go?"

Zhao Gou hurriedly replied: "My minister is willing to go and destroy the rebels!"

"In this case, the king of Guangping County stepped forward to accept the seal!" Song Huizong shouted solemnly, Zhao Gou hurriedly bowed to wait for the imperial edict, only to see Zhao Ji solemnly said: "I pass on my decree: the king of Guangping County canonize him as a general of hussars He is also the commander-in-chief of the world's soldiers and horses. Any army in the Song Dynasty can be dispatched at will. This time, I will use all the power of the Song Dynasty to wipe out the rebels and return my country. I will watch him with my own eyes. Only by being executed can you feel at ease, do you know that?"

Zhao Gou was taken aback, and hurriedly replied, "Your minister accepts the order!"
