Chapter 325
What a mess
"Tell me, the football players would be so excited if they knew we were coming to Kaifeng."
The player Zhu Houzhao mentioned playing football was naturally referring to Zhao Jixiang, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty.
There have been many useless emperors in ancient times, but only a few of them can really impress people.
Why not eat minced meat? The mentally retarded emperor Sima Zhong;
Betrayed the sixteen states of Yanyun, the son-emperor Shi Jingtang
Zhao Jixiang is one of them. He is good at calligraphy, loves to play football, and loves to blame others. He has played well all his life, but he is the main culprit of Jingkang's shame.
"I'm afraid I'll be scared shitless."
Everyone in Lao Zhu's family laughed with disdain and looked down upon Zhao Jixiang at all.
In terms of cultural attainments, no one in the old Zhu family can compare with Zhao Jixiang. After all, he is a learned person who created a unique calligraphy font.
But as an emperor, except for a certain emperor who stands side by side with Zhao Jixiang, no one is ten times or a hundred times better than Zhao Jixiang.
The emperor tried his best to hide his presence, and he was not ashamed, but he was still afraid that everyone would bring the topic to him.
"I am so angry that I lean on the railing and the rain stops."
Everyone in Lao Zhu's family nodded with deep understanding. The people's livelihood was suffering, but Zhao Jixiang only cared about his own enjoyment. There were flowers and stones, birthdays, and all kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. No wonder there were turmoils and wars everywhere.
Wen Tian was at war, the armaments were lax, the soldiers had no will to fight, and the generals had no fighting spirit. Such Kaifeng did not have high combat effectiveness at all, and it would be an exaggeration to describe it as vulnerable to a single blow.
Gao Qiu, a scoundrel in the market, was able to become a Taiwei in charge of the military. What he relied on was not that he was good at Cuju and knew how to make Zhao Jixiang happy.
boom
"Don't wait any longer. The young man's head will turn gray, and there will be no sorrow!"
"good"
"The ambition is to eat the meat of Huns when hungry, and to drink the blood of Huns when they are thirsty."
Just when Zhao Jixiang was taking a break and bragging to the officials that he had not performed well, a very discordant voice suddenly sounded, causing Zhao Jixiang and others to change their faces instantly.
Cai Jing angrily scolded the soldiers who hurried over to report the news, but they didn't even look at them seriously.
Following Gao Qiu's "upside down golden hook", Cuju passed through the door, and everyone watching the game couldn't help but cheer.
"Driving a long car, crossing the gap in Helan Mountain."
Zhao Jixiang's legs were swinging wildly, and he was about to be scared to death. More than 200,000 troops were approaching Kaifeng City. He was used to living a comfortable life, but he had never seen such a scene before.
Cai Jingdu, who has experienced many ups and downs in his life, and who boasts that he will not fall even if the mountain collapses before him, was almost scared to death, not to mention the others.
"Visual inspection, the minimum is 200,000."
Therefore, after Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Gao Qiu and others heard that troops were approaching Kaifeng City, they all acted more anxious than Zhao Jixiang.
Two hundred thousand?
Cai Jing took a deep breath, felt dizzy for a while, almost lost his breath, and died suddenly on the spot.
Normally, the soldier would have been so frightened by Cai Jing that he could not speak coherently. But in such a critical situation, who would care about watching Cai Jing show off his power, so the soldier quickly and eagerly informed Zhao Jixiang of the matter.
"I only know that the rebels are flying a clear banner. I don't know where they come from."
Kaifeng is under siege, things are getting serious!
There is a situation inside Kaifeng. Zhao Jixiang, who is addicted to fun, is not clear about it, and Cai Jing, who advocates government affairs, cannot be clear about it.
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. For some unknown reason, a large army suddenly appeared outside Kaifeng City and is approaching Kaifeng City!"
When the tea cup fell to the ground, Zhao Jixiang was shocked: "What?"
The 200,000-strong army is still unknown by visual inspection. How many soldiers and horses there are is still unknown. In such a dangerous battle, Kaifeng is in danger! The Song Dynasty is in danger!
"Lift our sight, the sky and shouts, grand, vehement."
As soon as Zhao Jixiang opened his mouth, Cai Jing immediately understood what he meant and was speechless. He didn't even know what the enemy was and was about to run away. You are truly worthy of being your lord!
However, he was speechless. He still fully agreed with Zhao Jixiang's thoughts. Sons of a rich man could not sit down in court. How could they, noble people, put themselves in danger?
"How many rebels are there?"
On the spacious Cuju court, Zhao Jixiang was happily playing Cuju with a group of professional Cuju players. Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others were shouting loudly and cheering Zhao Jixiang on.
They don't have to deal with government affairs and don't care about the people's livelihood. Their main task is to play with Zhao Jixiang and make him happy. That's not just getting what they want.
Cai Jing shouted, his forehead was covered with cold sweat unknowingly.
In the Zhao and Song dynasties, it was almost common to see the civil superiors and the military inferiors. In the eyes of civil servants, generals were just like stinky Qiuba, and soldiers were no different from slaves.
The soldier who reported the news glanced at Cai Jing and others, and answered cautiously.
If the rebels attack the city, Kaifeng will definitely not be able to hold on for long.
"Have you ever figured out whose army it is?"
"The shame of Jingkang has not yet been resolved; the hatred of the ministers will never be extinguished."
"Thirty years of fame and dust, eight thousand miles of clouds and moon."
He regards Cai Jing as a brother and a beloved relative, and I believe Cai Jing will understand his feelings.
They are not in a hurry to attack and let the panic fly for a while. They are all looking forward to Zhao Jixiang's reaction?
Should he muster up the courage to fight with them, or should he blame his son and then flee in a hurry with Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others?
We were having a great time playing Cuju here, but someone yelled, "It's not good." Isn't this a spoiler of fun?
"What's wrong? Didn't you see the Holy One taking a rest?"
Cai Jing is not a very good character, but he is particularly good at understanding people's hearts. He knows Zhao Jixiang very well. As soon as Zhao Jixiang sticks out his butt, he knows what Zhao Jixiang wants.
It's better to run away first, and wait for the Qinwang's army to drive away the rebels, and then it won't be too late to come back.
"My dear, the rebels are approaching, what should we do?"
If the rebels invade Kaifeng, they will definitely die without a burial place. He knows what his reputation is outside.
The soldier who reported the message thought that Zhao Jixiang didn't believe it, so he repeated it again.
Zhu Houzhao slowly recited Yue Wumu's "The River is Red and the Crown is Angry" and couldn't help but sigh: "With an emperor like Zhao Jixiang, no matter how deep the Song Dynasty's foundation is, it is simply not enough for him."
He still couldn't believe that an army would attack Kaifeng City silently!
Which rebel force can be so brave?
Tong Guan, Gao Qiu and others were so frightened that their faces turned pale. These people were just fine with flattery, cheating and cheating, but fighting would really embarrass them!
"Your Majesty, something serious has happened."
"Be from scratch, clean up the old mountains and rivers, overturned Que!"
"A large army of unknown origin has arrived at Kaifeng City. Please make a decision quickly."
Zhao Jixiang wanted to run away, but was too embarrassed to say so, so he turned his attention to Cai Jing, hoping that the old man would be more forceful.
"Cough cough cough"
Cai Jing coughed twice and said seriously: "The rebels are coming with force, we must not be careless."
"If His Majesty's body of thousands of gold is injured, it will be a grave sin for our ministers. Therefore, I propose that we escort Your Majesty out of the city first and summon the troops of King Qin from all over the country to come and protect him."
These high-sounding words won the recognition of Zhao Jixiang, Tong Guan, Gao Qiu and others. The world is big and the earth is big, their lives are the greatest, and they have noble status, so they cannot commit the crime of fighting with the rebels.
