661. February 13, six years
Zhao Xing's gold medal finally arrived. Song Beiyun knew that he should set off, because with Zhao Xing's terrible personality, if he didn't go back, he would be the turn of the game.
He was about to end, and that was a big deal. It was inevitable to clear the king. After all, he was bewitched by demons, not to mention that Song Beiyun also had a "sister" who was a concubine.
What a demon, a demon concubine, is it so great? It harms the country and the people.
Today, Song Beiyun and Yu had a good morning and came out lightly. The family was sent to the door and did not let him send him off again. The two men said it was relaxed, but only the people in the game knew how dangerous this trip was to Beijing.
Jin Ling'er was worried, and she watched Song Beiyun board the carriage with both hands. When she urged the carriage, she let out a long sigh and tears flowed.
"Princess, what's wrong?"
Biluo had a sharp eye and careful look. She found that the smart princess was abnormal. She stepped forward to support her and asked, but Jin Ling'er just shook her head and turned back to the room. She unfolded the lyrics that Song Beiyun wrote to her that New Year's Eve. It seemed that it was the next verse that she owed when she was in Luzhou.
Starting from the beautiful country and the final completion in one go, although it is not very romantic, but when I think of the previous chapter of the past, the coherence of the words reveals the courage to turn the world and the wisdom to understand time and space.
If he had written this half back then, he might not have lived to this day. But now, looking back, he wrote this one reasonably. With unyielding resoluteness, this is the determination to go to death and a romance of sacrifice.
As he said, this time, the history of the Central Plains and Chinese will be divided into two parts. If he loses, history will eventually give him a good destination in thousands of years.
Jin Ling'er knew the danger, but she never advised him to stay because she knew that a real man was upright, her father was like this, and her husband was like this. If he could stop him by himself, then he would not be worthy of his identity as a golden branch and jade leaf.
Compared to Jin Ling'er's worries, Fo Baonu was full of fighting spirit. After Song Beiyun left, she immediately summoned the prince of Runan.
"Press the army on the border between Song and Liao." Fo Baonu waved his sleeves: "Eighty miles of joint camp! All the guns are aimed at Xiangyang City! As long as the news of Song Beiyun's death comes, you will attack Xiangyang at all costs and attack Jinling. Within fifteen days, take down the State of Song."
"Abide by the Holy Order."
She knew very well that Song Beiyun's departure was extremely dangerous. If Zhao Xing had any slight wavering, he would not be able to come back. Without Song Beiyun and Chang'an, Song State would be a chicken, and Liao State would fight undeclaredly, which was both revenge and dominance of the Central Plains.
"By the way, send a message to the envoy of Song State. If the Lin'an Marquis of our country is in danger in the territory of Song State, the Liao State will tore up the alliance and cross the river to start a war." Fo Baonu said with his sleeves, "By the way, the Liao State's entire army is more than 20,000. Of course, it is best to tell them that it is enough to expel Song Beiyun from Song State. What happened next has nothing to do with them."
The prince of Runan took the order and left, and at the same time, the envoy of the Jin Kingdom quietly released the dove.
It seemed that everyone was waiting for a huge upside down in Song State for a moment. Although they all understood that once Song Beiyun fell, the biggest beneficiary would be the Liao State, even if they couldn't eat meat, sucking some blood and drinking some soup would be enough for them to last for many years.
Basically, when Song Beiyun left the city, all countries had already formulated a complete basic plan for dividing the Song Dynasty.
Don’t miss the opportunity and never come again.
Five days, only five days.
The continuous news from the spy reached Zhao Xing's ears. He walked back and forth in the study room and threw the report in front of all the confidant ministers: "A bunch of wolves and tigers! They are all waiting for the great changes in the Song Dynasty to get a share of the pie. Liao, Jin, grassland, and even Dali have withdrew the envoys from Jinling. OK, okay, it's really great. I ask you, when will you make a fuss!"
All the ministers looked at each other, lowering their heads without saying a word. They were also anxious, but the problem now is really not under their control. The voices among the people are getting louder and louder. From Song Beiyun's talk about Zhao Xing's inappropriate position, and when it comes to the collapse of etiquette and music, there is a tendency for the country to fail.
At this moment, Zhao Xing knew how terrible the struggle between the new and old of the Liao Kingdom was, and he also deeply understood what the problem that Song Beiyun said would arise sooner or later.
A series of reforms have indeed affected the interests of many people. First of all, the monopoly and autocratic power of studying has been broken. Simply put, the examinations and selections have become more and more fair. As long as you register and verify, individuals can enter the hall of elegance. This is undoubtedly a devastating blow to those geniuses who have long occupied the exam quota.
At the beginning, they thought it was just a breeze and did not want to confront the central power. However, in recent years, the gust of wind has not stopped, but has become more and more vigorous. Bookstores in many places were burned, and the teacher was driven away or even beaten, openly obstructing students from signing up for the spring exam and even detaining the school officials.
These things suddenly exploded like thunder. The conflict between the common people and the gentry seemed to come out of thin air, instantly spreading the entire Song Dynasty.
The reason seems to be just because of Lord Shi’s remarks in the court. Is he hateful or not? Although it is hateful, he is actually just a pawn. Behind him are the gentry who united to consolidate the monopoly.
"From ancient times, reforms have sacrificed." Zhao Xing sat on the dragon throne: "Is it my turn now?"
At this time, Lao Ding lowered his head and said, "Officials, I think it is best to hide the bow in the box."
"I'm going to discuss it."
“Additional.”
Everyone was discussing, but Zhao Xing was silent. He turned his head and looked at the crooked neck tree facing the cold wind outside. He slowly relaxed his whole body, leaning his head on the back of the chair, half-closing his eyes, as if he had been removed from his strength.
At this time, Yan Shu hurried over: "The official family... Just now the front line came from news that the 80-mile joint camp of the Liao Kingdom was pressing outside Xiangyang City."
Zhao Xing's eyes suddenly opened, and he suddenly stood up and almost roared, "You are satisfied! Are you all satisfied!? You are really all dark. A few days have passed for good days, huh? A few days have passed for not being abused! Say it!"
No one dared to take the emperor's rage head-on, and everyone retreated. They were as clear as a mirror in their hearts, but they were really helpless. All the officials present supported the new policy, but the interest groups behind them had clearly drawn a clear line with them.
Now even these top officials have become rootless duckweeds. The gentry at the bottom is leveraging the imperial power. In the game between the two sides, they have no choice but to stand here and roll their eyes.
Kill? Can you kill? There has never been a problem like this by killing in history, because it is calm, but it will happen again in less than two years.
People always have to fight for more benefits for their own clans and groups and eliminate these people? Qin Shihuang did not do it, Emperor Wu of Han did not do it, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang did it, and Emperor Taizu of Song did it.
Is there really anyone in the world who can do it?
Zhao Xing wrote a heavy letter to Song Beiyun on the road three days ago. The last sentence in the letter was "Is there really anyone in the world able to do it?"
He is really powerless.
And just then, the sound of the eunuch knocking on the door broke the silence, and Zhao Xing raised his hand weakly: "Come in."
The eunuch walked in, came to Zhao Xing and bowed and said, "The official family has faith."
Zhao Xing took the envelope and opened it. It was this look that made him feel like he was recreating, and the light in his eyes appeared again.
The content of the letter is very, very simple, just one word, but this word is like a heavy burden, which makes Zhao Xing's hands tremble slightly.
"able!"
A word that can be written through the back of the paper.
Although we haven't met yet, the word and the attitude above made Zhao Xing feel as if he had a reassurance. He sat up straight again and his tone became serious.
"Have the Chang'an army arrived outside the city?"
"Go back to the official's house, yes, there are about 30,000 people ready for combat, and they are stationed outside the city and waiting for the official's orders." The eunuch whispered: "The imperial guards have surrounded the Chang'an army."
"Send the order and let it go. If it doesn't go, the Chang'an army can attack the city."
"yes."
When the ministers heard this, their faces changed drastically: "The official family cannot do it..."
"Why can't you do it? Don't tell me anything that is credible or not. Chang'an Army is the team I trust the most."
After saying that, the willful Zhao Xing asked the eunuch to convey the order.
At this moment, outside the city, the young general Yang Wenguang, who was standing in front of Duke Ding, was wearing the clothes of the Chang'an alert army, and his military posture was majestic. Duke Ding was also wearing military uniforms, pointing at Yang Wenguang's nose and said, "Damn it, do you know what you are doing! You have to be beheaded when you hit Jinling! Retreat quickly."
"The Chang'an Iron Army only followed the official orders, and the rest of the people were all miscellaneous."
As he said that, the light cannons in the camp had already been arranged, and the Vulcan camp behind also began to test their weapons and put them on bullets.
"Okay, okay, your wings are hard." Duke Ding Guo was so angry that his hair and beard were wide open: "Come on, come on, just kill me here."
Yang Wenguang stared at the towering Jinling City Tower: "Chang'an Iron Army only obeys the orders of the officials."
The atmosphere in Jinling City is extremely depressing at this moment because it is rumored that Song Beiyun rebelled. Some people say they had expected it, while others say they never expected it.
But no matter what, the rebellion is very convincing.
"The official... Can the 30,000 Chang'an Army win against the 100,000 imperial guards?"
"It's 130,000 Chang'an Army." Zhao Xing stood at the top of the city and smiled at the eunuch beside him, "Chang'an Army is my backbone. When they come, I will be afraid of nothing."
The eunuch passed on Zhao Xing's order. After hearing this, Duke Ding stared at Yang Wenguang's eyes: "Boy..."
"I will definitely not let the Duke down." Yang Wenguang finished speaking first and raised his hand: "Chang'an Army, enter the city!"
Chapter completed!
