Chapter 128 Civil strife will start
Gao Qingyi left Zongfu's mansion. He originally planned to go directly to Zonghan's mansion to report, but when he was leaving, he suddenly thought about it and returned to his mansion first. When he was about to change his clothes and prepare to go out, he was meeting the cavalry sent by Wanyan Chang.
When the two sides met, Gao Qingyi was shocked and knew that something was wrong.
The centurion of the cavalry leader did not say much to him. As soon as he winked, several Jin soldiers jumped off the horse, carried him to the horse like a chicken, and tied him up.
After capturing Gao Qingyi and leaving troops to guard Gao's mansion, the cavalry team went back to report. When they were outside Wanyan Chang's mansion, they received another order, saying that this person was extremely guilty and did not need to be tried, so they were immediately taken to beheaded.
It was already late at night, and thick clouds were pressing on the top of Shangjing City. The Jin people followed the Liao system. The Liao people and Khitans had become deeply in the sinicization. They also paid attention to the operation at noon. At this time, the use of killing people in Shangjing City was considered the first time to see them. The people in the city were of different ranks, including many Jurchens, Khitans, Hui Hui, Han people, Bohai people, and Western Seminar people. The streets were bustling. When they watched this team of cavalry escorting the ruthless Gao Qingyi to Caishikou to take the knife, they were all surprised. They followed one by one, looking at the lively moment in front of them, and were talking.
When he arrived at Caishikou, where he usually killed people, because it was not a normal procedure, the centurion led the team did not wait much, and immediately ordered someone to drag Gao Qingyi, who was limp and escorted him to the middle of the street market, preparing to kill him.
This team of cavalry was an elite soldier who had been fighting for many years with Wanyan Chang. He even didn't remember how many people he killed. Although he was going to kill the Han officials at this time, he didn't take it seriously. He laughed and jogged one by one. After dragging Gao Qingyi to the place, a cavalry pulled out his waist and gestured to Gao Qingyi's back neck.
Just as he was about to take action, he saw an old man wearing a Jurchen robe standing in front of Gao Qingyi, with his back facing him, blocking Gao Qingyi tightly. The Jurchen cavalry who was about to take action shouted in Jurchen words: "Old man, get out of the way, I want to kill this person."
The old man bent over and didn't know what to say to Gao Qingyi. After a while, he turned around and turned around.
"Marshal!"
Everyone was shocked and immediately bent down to salute.
Originally, this person was Zong Han, and also the Nian Han of the Han people. He was the nephew of Taizu. He followed him since he started the army, and he was alert and wise, and brave. Whether it was strategy or tactics, he was a hero among the Jin people. It can be said that Taizu was able to destroy Liao, and this person made the greatest contribution. Then he divided the east and west sides with Zong Wang's troops and crossed the river to destroy Song. He made great contributions. In the fourth year of Jingkang, he led his troops to defeat the Tianchang Army and defeated the main force of Zhao Gou. He conquered Yangzhou and Jiankang, and fought to the hinterland of Jiangnan. He drove Zhao Gou away with his head and waited for him to retreat before he dared to return to the land from the sea. After this battle, Zong Han was not patient with the climate of the Han area and felt tired. He also knew that the Jin soldiers were unable to destroy the Song people now, so he returned to Shangjing and stopped inquiring about military affairs.
Even so, he is also the only marshal of the Jin Kingdom now. At least on the surface, he is the older zong king who is second only to the king and emperor.
When they saw that he was here, everyone naturally bowed in a hurry, but listened to Zong Han's cold words: "I have sent someone to plead with Deputy Marshal Zuo. You can wait for the news. If you don't succeed, you will naturally kill him."
The centurion leading the team thought of his identity and knew that he would not be allowed to force him. He smiled and agreed, saying, "The villain was on order. Since Marshal Du discussed with Deputy Marshal Zuo, the villain naturally waited for the order."
Zong Han's face was gloomy and ignored him. He just found a place to sit down. He sat down with a golden sword. He ordered someone to drink with Gao Qingyi and poured wine to drink with Gao Qingyi. He comforted him with warm words and said, "Why would the King of Lu and the others want to sell me my face, it must be okay."
Gao Qingyi had calmed down at this time. He was a very smart person. At this time, he knew in his heart that he had said something wrong in front of Zong Fu, which led to the dying sick man being afraid of him, so he had to kill him.
After thinking about this section, he already knew that he would be unlucky today. After hearing Zong Han's words, he thought a little in his mind and immediately replied: "The King of Lu must kill me, and Marshal Du is afraid that he will not be able to save me."
"How do you say this?"
"I am now ordered by the Marshal to meet King Zongfu. The King said that after his death, the Marshal will take charge of the country. I said: The Marshal is old and weak, and does not want to interfere in the country's affairs. However, if the country has something to do, he will naturally speak out. Please do not worry."
Zong Han nodded and said, "What's wrong with this saying?"
Gao Qingyi said, "The King of Lu was next to me at that time. I heard him say: Marshal Du is old and weak, so it is better to rest more. I was not convinced, so I said, Marshal Du is sick and has no confusion."
Zong Han said, "He has always been a greedy man and is petty. If you contradict him like this, he will let you go."
Gao Qingyi looked tragic and cried, "I was indignant for a moment, and felt that King Lu and the others were too successful, so they did not take the marshal seriously, and they were disagreeable for a while. After I finished speaking, His Highness King Lu did not speak, but left. Shortly after I returned home, I was taken to question and beheaded."
Zong Han was furious when he heard this, stood up and kicked the table and chair in front of him, his hands trembling, and he wanted to slash around.
Wanyan Chang is his elder, but he is not as old as him. He has never regarded the other party as an elder. When he attacked Song, this person was just his deputy. Unexpectedly, he is now older and does not want to ask about political affairs and military affairs. This person is entangled in his party and his power is getting bigger and bigger, and he doesn't take himself seriously.
But although he was angry, he knew that what Gao Qingyi said might not be completely true. He also thought in his heart that Wanyan Chang might sell him face after all, and would not offend him so openly.
At that moment, Xu Yan comforted Gao Qingyi a few words, and then waited for news from Wanyan Chang.
After a while, a small team of cavalry rushed over. When he arrived in front of Zong Han, the leader was Meng'an, who was also Wanyan Chang's old subordinate. Seeing Zong Han looking at him coldly, he quickly rolled over and got off the horse, clasped his fists and bowed to Zong Han, and said with a smile: "I have met Marshal Du."
Zong Han had no intention of perfunctory with a little Meng'an, and asked with a cold face: "Where is the king of Lu, what did he say?"
Na Mengan smiled apologized and said, "King of Lu said he was busy, so he would not come to see Marshal Du."
He paused, and saw Zong Han's face becoming more and more ugly. Although he thought in his heart that the other party was just a dead tiger, he felt his heart tremble for some reason.
