Chapter 35 The Royal Driver has returned!
In the more than 5,000 years of history of the Central Plains, if it were not for the twelve bastards of the Aixinjueluo family and an old witch who were at the bottom, then among all the emperors, Zhao Jixiang would be the last loser, not to mention the last.
It's probably about the same.
However, as someone said, every roll of toilet paper has its uses, and Zhao Jixiang naturally has his uses too.
For example, after returning to the capital, Zhao Jixiang suddenly felt that he had sinned deeply, was ashamed of the people of the world, and had no shame to see his ancestors. He could only die to thank the world——
As long as Zhao Jixiang issued a posthumous edict before he died, saying that the Song Dynasty system was hard to recover, and only vigorous reforms could reverse the decline, so he hoped that his son, the future emperor of the ages, Comrade Zhao Huan, could inherit his legacy, reform the government, and lead
As the Song Dynasty moves from its current victory to more victories, doesn't that reflect Zhao Jixiang's usefulness?
Anyway, the deceased is the most important. Once Zhao Jixiang is killed, the Taoist emperor's previous bad things will be over. In addition, the Song Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. The emperor's last edict asked Zhao Huan to reform. Who can stand up and oppose it?
?
So how can we make Zhao Jixiang willing to die to thank the world without arousing suspicion from others?
After all, everyone in the world knows what kind of bastard Zhao Jixiang is. If he says that Zhao Jixiang can suddenly wake up and commit suicide, even the prosperous people in Bianjing will not believe it.
"Let me tell you, the emperor entered the city an hour ago."
Before Zhao Huan could figure out whether Zhao Jixiang should commit suicide to thank the world or whether he should go to Longde Palace to practice calligraphy, the army had already arrived not far from Bianjing City.
"Send envoys to report victory."
Zhao Huan just looked at the top of Bianjing City for a moment, and couldn't help but raise a strange smile: "Also, after entering the city later, all the city gates will be closed immediately, and He Qing and Zhong Qing will arrange their own manpower to defend the city.
Door, no one is allowed in or out."
…
At the end of February in the first year of Jingkang, the inside and outside of Bianjing City were already dyed with a layer of green, and the young leaves of the poplar trees and the young buds of the willow trees began to slowly unfold.
At this time, not only would many poor people come to pick the young leaves of poplar trees, but many wealthy families would also send some of their servants to pick poplar leaves and willow buds.
For the poor, as long as the tender poplar leaves and willow buds are cleaned and boiled with water, and a little mixed, it becomes a delicious dish that is both vegetable and food. If you eat more poplar leaves, you can save a mouthful of food.
If you use a mouthful of grain as seeds, you may be able to harvest a few more bushels of grain next year.
For wealthy people, it is only available at this time of year. Things that can't be bought with money at other times are rare. Even if you don't want to eat these things, you still have to get some to try them out.
But today, the entire Bianjing city was filled with something strange. The usually crowded streets were deserted, and the large and small shops on both sides of the road had closed early, and no one was in the mood to care about that tender and tender girl.
poplar leaves and willow buds.
Because the emperor came back, and even more because as soon as the emperor came back, he ordered that the people were not allowed to go out, and at the same time, he also sent people to take over the city defense of Bianjing.
There may be fools in Bianjing City, but for any Bianjing citizen with a normal mind and who has been accustomed to political intrigues since childhood, the signal revealed by the emperor's behavior is almost like lice on a bald man's head.
It's obvious.
The people in Bianjing did not like the emperor Zhao Jixiang.
When Jin Bing came, he hurriedly passed the throne and fled with the treasury and imperial army. It is really difficult for people to like such an official who abandoned the Sheji ancestral temple and put the country and the people in danger.
Especially after the contrast between Zhao Huan's stubborn defense of Bianjing and his personal expedition to Taiyuan, the people of Bianjing looked down upon Zhao Jixiang even more.
But what if you don’t like it?
After all, the emperor is the emperor, and he is also the biological father of the current official family. In the Song Dynasty, which ruled the world with filial piety, this was a problem that could not be avoided no matter what. Even if the current official family was still in Bianliang, I am afraid it would not be good to the emperor.
Is there a way?
What's more, the emperor still has 200,000 well-equipped imperial troops in his hands.
Just like now, the emperor has sent a large number of imperial troops to take over the defense of Bianjing's city gates and walls. What can the unarmed people do?
Perhaps we can only place our hope on those Ban'er who followed the Guan family to guard the city, or we can only hope that the Guan family will come back soon?
"A great victory! The officials personally conquered and killed one hundred thousand prisoners! The imperial commander has arrived outside the city!"
Just when the entire people of Bianjing City were feeling uneasy, two red-feathered messengers rushed toward Bianjing City like crazy wild boars, shouting loudly as they galloped.
"A great victory! The officials personally conquered and killed one hundred thousand prisoners! The imperial commander has arrived outside the city!"
At the gate of the city, the soldiers who were debating whether to switch defenses with the imperial guards sent by the government no longer hesitated. They saw the hot air balloon rising slowly in the distance and starting to move towards the gate of the city. The soldiers responsible for guarding the gate suddenly became energetic.
Zhen, holding either a waist sword or a simple sword, pointed at the imperial army opposite. After letting the red feather messenger go into the city, the leader smiled even more ferociously: "I'll say it again! Except for the decree of the current officials, or
No one can say anything about the rest of Xianggong Li’s Jun order! Are you going to change defenses with me with Gao Qiu’s order from Donkey Day?”
"You want to rebel?"
Seeing that the Red Feather Messenger had entered the city, and knowing that the situation was likely to collapse completely, Dutou, the Forbidden Army, suddenly turned gloomy and shouted: "You are following the official's order, and this capital is also following the emperor's order! Don't.
It is said that you are the leader of a small Xiang army. Even if the current official family is here, will it violate the emperor's will?"
The Xiang troops guarding the city all laughed ferociously and said: "Although I am just a general, I am not stupid. Don't think that I don't understand anything!"
Let me tell you, what Pontotou eats is the food of today's officials and serves as soldiers of today's officials! Unless the officials personally give the order today, no one can do it! Don't say that what you are getting is Gao Qiu's donkey day.
Even if you get the warrant of Li Gang and Mr. Li Xianggong, you can’t do it! Anyone who dares to close this city gate before the official enters the city will be killed by me!"
The leader of the Imperial Guard slowly pulled out the long knife from his waist, shook his head, and his eyes were full of pity: "In this case, don't blame the leader of the capital. They are all acting under orders, and everyone is their own master."
However, the head of the Xiang Army laughed wildly and cursed loudly: "I was ordered to abandon the city before the Jin soldiers besieged the city, and come to pick the fruits when the officials returned from the victory. At the same time, they also closed the city gate and turned away the officials."
Outside the city? What else can you say to your masters? I am doing it for the official family, and you are doing it for your damn body! I am in your mother’s crooked ways!”
After scolding, the Xiang army commander directly swung his sword to chop off the head of the imperial army. It was a crazy strategy of exchanging injuries for injuries and lives for lives. Dozens of Xiang soldiers guarding the city followed closely behind.
The formation of a formation under the leadership of the military commander here forced the well-equipped Imperial Army to retreat step by step!
As the red-feathered messenger loudly announced victory passed through the city of Bianjing, the same drama as at the city gate began to play out in Bianjing city.
From the time of the expedition to the present, all the time before and after adds up to less than a month. The official family actually killed one hundred thousand prisoners? Has the imperial commander returned?
Damn it, even though everyone has confidence in the current official family, this surprise is too exciting!
However, it is impossible for the Red Feather Courier to lie about the military situation, because the meaning represented by the Red Feather Courier is too important, so a victory is a victory, and a defeat is a defeat. You may not report it, but you must not lie.
This also means that the Guan family really returned with a great victory less than a month after the expedition!
"A great victory! The officials personally conquered and killed one hundred thousand prisoners! The imperial chariot has returned!"
The soldiers suddenly felt confident and made their own choice——
To be loyal to the officials or to surrender to the imperial army, and then return to the old army of thieves with neither humans nor ghosts, this is almost a single-choice question that you can vote with your feet and you can't make a mistake!
Even the people in Bianjing City voluntarily walked out of their homes, especially the members of the Jieyi Society who had been recruited by Zhao Huan to help defend the city and received the same treatment as the city defenders. They had long been displeased with Emperor Zhao Jixiang.
They slowly got together and began to try to fight in formation like the Forbidden Army.
What's even more damning is that not only were the Imperial Guards unable to defeat the Xiang troops who had guarded the city with Zhao Huan, they were also unable to defeat these unorganized and undisciplined members of the society -
The Horse Society can be pulled out into organized cavalry. In addition to ordinary crossbows, the Gong Society also has divine arm bows. The members of the Jia Society are even more crazy. They have infantry armor...
The Forbidden Army, which had served as a guard of honor for their whole life with Zhao Jixiang and had basically never fought any hard battles, was defeated steadily when they fought against the Xiang soldiers and community members who had fought hard against the Jin soldiers.
Especially after the Western Army led by Zhong Shidao arrived at the city gate, the imperial troops who came to take over the city defense simply dropped their swords and guns.
If this scene had happened before Wanyan Zongwang retreated his troops, Wanyan Zongwang would probably have laughed three feet high in his urine.
But it is a pity that Wanyan Zongwang was turned into a dog by Zhao Huan early on. Now he has followed Wanyan Zonghan and fled to Xijin Mansion. Naturally, he cannot see this exciting scene in front of him.
Zhao Huan actually saw this big drama, and the script basically followed Zhao Huan's original calculations, but Zhao Huan was not happy in his heart.
Two hundred thousand imperial troops, that's not two hundred thousand pigs. Even if these two hundred thousand losers can't defeat two hundred thousand pigs, it's because the commander who leads them is too much of a loser——
If these 200,000 forbidden troops were loyal to him, Zhao Huan felt that he could sweep the entire world with just these 200,000 well-equipped forbidden troops!
"The defenders of the city record their merits. As for these wastes,"
Zhao Huan took a look at the Imperial Guards kneeling on the roadside. He couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and he shouted: "Tear off their skins and keep them in separate custody. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"
