Chapter 345 The Emperor's Arrangements(1/2)

An army of 10,000 people set off from Tokyo City and rushed to Jingdong Road.

This army was divided into ten routes, with only one thousand troops in each route, and entered the ten prefectures of the riot Jingdong Road.

Han Shizhong went to Yunzhou in person, and it was night when he arrived.

The local wing army had already controlled the riot, but He Qingchen did not dare to order a massacre.

After a heavy rain, the moonlight emerged from the hills in the east, dyeing a layer of light on the deep blue sky, illuminating the water droplets on the branches outside the city, as if countless gems were embedded on the green leaves.

Han Shizhong was wearing armor, holding a spear in his hand, accompanied by a pencil sharpener at his waist, and a tall and majestic war horse under his crotch.

As soon as he arrived at the city gate, He Qingchen had already rushed over to greet him in small steps.

"Secretary of the Lord, please see the Lord of Yongwu."

According to the rank, He Qingchen is from the fifth rank, and Han Shizhong is a lieutenant general of the fourth rank. When he saw Han Shizhong, He Qingchen naturally had to give a big gift.

Han Shizhong said: "He Zhizhou, where are the people now?"

"Everyone...is all in the city now, and the lower officials have already taken control."

Han Shizhong didn't say much and said lightly: "Leave it to me next."

However, a strong murderous aura was revealed in his casual tone. His whole body was cold, especially his eyes, just like the lake light in the twelfth lunar month.

"I have a hard time and bravery."

Han Shizhong brought a thousand people into the city, and under the leadership of a wing army commander, he soon entered the riot area.

Before entering, the commander suddenly said to Han Shizhong: "The last general dares to say frankly, please ask the Marquis of Yongwu to avenge Zhang Zhubu!"

Han Shizhong could see a strong hatred in his eyes. Zhang Kang and Han Shizhong had seen it. The emperor had a very good impression of Zhang Kang.

During the flood, Sima Qing, the governor of Yunzhou, fled. Zhang Kang stayed to organize people to fight the flood, and even distributed his food to the escaped victims.

But I didn't expect that Zhang Kang would encounter an unexpected situation so soon.

Han Shizhong suddenly began to think about a philosophical question: the emperors went to the front line inspiring people, and officials like Zhang Kang also cherished the people very much. Why did they riot because of the false statements and spread widely?

If this happens in the army, there is only one consequence: all of them will be executed!

That's what Han Shizhong thought. He was a soldier, so he was of course thinking about problems from the perspective of a soldier.

If someone mutinys in the army, it is a death sentence!

Han Shizhong couldn't help but remember what the emperor said: No virtue is not terrible, the most terrible thing is ignorance!

Han Shizhong asked the commander: "There are three thousand brigades in the city, why don't you avenge Zhang Zhubu?"

The commander hesitated for a moment and said, "Master He said that he could not start a killing, otherwise he would be out of control."

The magistrate has certain military power, and at least has the power to mobilize the local garrison troops.

If He Qingchen doesn't let them take action, they will definitely not take action.

Han Shizhong knew it in his heart. Shortly after he entered the city, he heard someone shouting: "The tyrant monarch has no virtue! Abolish the new policy!"

After walking a distance, Han Shizhong saw many people on the main street, holding torches, some telling the story of King Zhou, and some telling the story of the tyrannical Qin.

Those people also saw a team of people coming, but they were not afraid. Everyone had a look of mastering the truth and looking at death.

"I am Han Shizhong, a former guard of Yulin. I came to quell the rebellion under the order of the emperor and handed over the people who killed Zhang Kang. The rest of the people were dispersed. This is the will of His Majesty the Emperor!"

A young man about eighteen years old stood up. The boy was wearing a silk gown and could tell at a glance that his family was rich.

"The tyrant is unvirtuous, floods are coming from heaven, government affairs are corrupt, officials are corrupt, living beings are devastated, the country is about to perish, and the country is about to collapse. We are reading the books of sages. Mr. Fan Wenzheng once said that he would worry about the world first, and then the world is happy. Please stay in the Supreme Emperor to protect the great Song Dynasty!"

Han Shizhong's pupils suddenly contracted to a point, and the group of people even mentioned the Supreme Emperor.

It seems that it is indeed organized and premeditated!

He continued: "Zhang Kang helped the evildoer to commit suicide, but he would die!"

Han Shizhong stopped talking nonsense. With a wave of his hand, three arrows shot out from behind him in an instant.

The power of this kind of crossbow is only smaller than that of the divine arm crossbow, and can penetrate leather armor within a hundred meters, let alone a young man wearing a long silk suit.

Three arrows shot into his left eye, and the sharp arrow slashed the eyeball and stabbed it into his head.

The second arrow pierced into his throat, and came out from behind, carrying a flying wave of blood.

The third arrow pierced his chest and pierced his heart.

Before he fell down, Han Shizhong suddenly pulled out the knife from his waist, quickly slashed it out, and cut it down from his shoulder with one knife, cutting his upper body diagonally.

All the blood flowed out in an instant.

Everyone was stunned. They were still immersed in the cruel story of King Zhou digging Bigan's heart. Unexpectedly, a more bloody picture was released in front of them.

"His Majesty the Emperor said, I will tell you three times, and they are all dispersed!"

No one moved.

"It's all gone!"

There was still no one moving, not only that, but someone shouted loudly: "You have the ability to kill all of us unarmed scholars!"

Han Shizhong walked back, rode his horse, and said expressionlessly: "Don't kill me."

With his order, the square formation of a thousand soldiers shouted in unison, and the soldiers in the front row placed the crossbow on their left arm and began to fire arrows.

More than twenty people were shot in front of him and screamed.

After the soldiers in the first row fired the arrows, they immediately retreated. The soldiers in the second row crossed forward and fired arrows in a row.

After launching, the one behind skillfully moved to the front.

Screams came one after another, and some people shouted: "The tyrant has no virtue! The Song Dynasty is dead..."

The crowd was still rioting, and many people started to flee.

Han Shizhong said: "Cabinets are hunting, no one is allowed to be let go!"

He Qingchen hid far away, but he could still hear heart-wrenching and desperate screams.

He couldn't help but shivered.

About two hours later, the bright moon had risen above my head. Yunzhou, which had already withered, seemed even more deserted, only the screams of despair came from some boxes.

Han Shizhong appeared in the prefect's office, and He Qingchen was waiting at the door, and everyone was so arrogant that they dared not give up one.

"He Zhizhou, I'll leave it to you next."

"Don't worry, the Lord of Yongwu, go and deal with it immediately."

He asked the gathered wing army to set out to clean up.

The cold moon sets in the west, outlining the eaves of the Imperial Palace.

The bustling Tokyo city is still brightly lit and people are venting tirelessly.

Only the palace was very cold. After a rain, the lake was sparkling, and occasionally fish rippled.

The emperor sat by the lake to fish, and the empire's Prime Minister Seo Chu-in also sat next to him to fish with the emperor.

There is another person next to him. This person was Duan Zhijie, who only worked as the Qin Fenglu Military Advisor for a few days three years ago.

He started a massacre on Qinfeng Road, which caused unstable people in the border towns. He was scolded by the emperor and demoted him to an official position.

After three years of silence in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, no one knew that he had entered the Da Nei at this time and accompanied the emperor and the prime minister to fish.

The emperor said: "Jingdong Road not only has a developed river transportation, but also is the center connecting Jiangnan and Hebei, so it cannot be messed up."

Xu Churen said on the side: "Your Majesty is wise. Jingdong Road is the land of Qilu, and Mizhou and other places are important ferries for trade with Goryeo. Agriculture and maritime trade are very prosperous, and there is a strong academic place. It is the hometown of Confucius. There was Jixia Academy in the Spring and Autumn Period and the place where various scholars debated."

"Mr. Xu, now the Jin thieves are in trouble with my Song Dynasty. Don't mention academic debate anymore. Then Zhang Kang is a good official who loves the people as much as his son, but he was cut off his head in the street. Is this what they can do? If everyone does this, wouldn't my Song Dynasty be completely in chaos!"

Although the emperor's tone was gentle, it gave people a sense of pressure to be arrogant without anger.

"I heard that He Qingchen, the new governor of Yunzhou, was worried about killing too many people and letting things go big."

Xu Churen said: "He Qingchen has just left for a while. The court is on the hiring of people. I would like to ask Your Majesty to give him another chance. This person is also a righteous person."

Zhao Huan was silent for a moment and said, "Grandpa Xu, I recommend Duan Zhijie to you. How about I serve as the Military Advisor of Jingdong Road?"

"Your Majesty, the strategic commander is not permanent, Jingdong Road is not a border area."

"It's now!"

Zhao Huan's tone suddenly became a little cold, and Shao Chengzhang, who was on the other hand, handed Xu Churen a confession.

Xu Churen opened it and looked at it, and was stunned: "This..."

Duan Zhijie on the side suddenly said, "I'm brave."

"Today's Song Dynasty is in a state of change that has not been seen in a thousand years. In order to ensure the implementation of the new policy, we should act cautiously."

“How to be cautious?”

Duan Zhijie continued: "Since ancient times, people have been prosperous, and people have suffered; when they are destroyed, people have also suffered. Your Majesty's new policy is a real strategy to enrich the country and strengthen the people. However, I think there are still conservative schools in the local area, trying to stop Your Majesty's innovation. I am willing to run for Your Majesty to the Jingdong area and observe the implementation of the new policy. If you cannot make Jingdong Road completely refreshed within three years, I will come and see you!"

The local conservative schools that Duan Zhijie mentioned are obviously those who have not been cleaned up or have hidden themselves well.

These people attempted to infiltrate the Imperial City Division in the local area, to infiltrate the Dasong Palace, and to infiltrate the Xiangjun stationed in the local area.
To be continued...
