The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 180
During these days, when the famous musician Kang Wang was exchanging music experiences with the girls in the palace, his secret letter was finally sent to Zhenjiang Mansion.

Kang Lu, who was on his way with a few entourages, had a smooth journey.

After all, it was the north that was really affected by the disaster, and it was relatively calm to go south.

When he arrived in Zhenjiang, he spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a Cuju helper from Gaoqiu's mansion, and he delivered the secret letter.

Of course, Kang Lu is not stupid.

He only said that it was a letter from an old man in Tokyo asking the Taiwei for help, and he also agreed to pay Baiguan a huge sum of money after the good things are done.

And when the helper took the letter to find Gao Qiu, Kang Lu immediately got on his horse and galloped away.

The reason why the letter was given to Gao Qiu, not to Cai Jing.That's because Gao Qiu got his start by flattering horses, and all his glory and wealth were entrusted to Song Huizong Zhao Ji.

He must attach great importance to getting such a secret letter, and he will definitely hand it over to Zhao Ji.

But Cai Jing is different. Although he is a treacherous minister, he is also a big turban.

Although he is almost 80 years old, Cai Jing's mind is still good.

When the secret letter came into his hands, he would definitely not inform Zhao Ji immediately, but would take this letter to make a deal with Zhao Huan.

'You have cronies around you who betray you. '

This is the same thing, but in different positions, the choices and responses are also different.

"Nizi, Nizi!"

Zhao Ji, who got the secret letter, was furious and furious.

With a wave of his hand, he swept the flower-and-bird painting he was working on to the ground, "I should have sprinkled him on the wall back then!"

Many cronies of the Huizong Dynasty in the hall were filled with righteous indignation and echoed the same hatred.

They are really angry, because the secret letter said that the current officials will take them first.

After some confusion, the gloomy Zhao Ji looked at Cai Jing who was sitting on the chair with his eyes closed and said nothing.

At this time, everyone else is useless, and only this person can solve the problem.

"Cai Qing's family." Zhao Ji called out his names directly, "What do you think of this matter?"

Cai Jing coughed unhurriedly, and after cupping his hands, he said slowly, "In this matter, we must first identify its authenticity. Don't alienate the family relationship of the Tian family just because of a letter."

"Humph."

Zhao Ji flicked his sleeves, noncommittal.

He believed it to be true from the bottom of his heart, because he was the emperor who knew how crazy he would be for the power in his hands after he took this position.

Shangshu Zuocheng Yu Wencui came forward and asked, "Cai Xianggong, if it is true, what should I do?"

That's what everyone cares about.

"If it's true." Cai Jing looked at Zhao Ji, "We have to come forward from the officials."

"How to show up?"

"If there is an imperial decree to reprimand ministers and wait for it to arrive, it should be a correctional edict!"

Who says the imperial edict is the most authoritative?Of course the emperor himself.

But if there were two emperors, of course it could be said to be a coercive edict. The only problem is that the authority of the imperial decree would be greatly reduced, and the power of the royal family would be damaged.

If it hadn't been stated in the secret letter, Zhao Huan would have cut off his wings first, and then he would do something to the Supreme Emperor, and give him a catty of arsenic as a snack.Because of the general trend, Zhao Ji had to acquiesce in belittling and expelling his cronies.

After all, the whole world is now discussing things, and they are all scolding him and his comrades.At this time, it is a routine operation for Zhao Ji to throw some scapegoats out to save himself.

But now it has been clearly stated in the secret letter that the ultimate purpose of eradicating his cronies is to deal with himself. Zhao Ji, who has a strong desire for power, of course will not allow this kind of thing to happen.

After a moment of silence, he nodded vigorously, "Yes."

"If there is any more." Cai Jing frowned and continued, "Let's wait for news from Mr. Liang in Tokyo."

Everyone was stunned, why did it involve Liang Shicheng.

"The letter mentioned the six thieves." Cai Jing explained unhurriedly, "Only Mr. Liang is in Tokyo at this time. If he is dealt with, this letter is naturally true. There is no need for the officials to say more, it must be done as soon as possible." Just go back to Tokyo City."

Zhao Ji, who had always been sullen, finally smirked, "As expected of Cai Qing's family, as Qing's family said. Also, who wrote this letter, we need to find out as soon as possible."

The reason why Liang Shicheng didn't follow was because when the crown prince was fighting fiercely with King Yun, Liang Shicheng bet on the crown prince, so he jumped ship.

Zhao Ji was naturally very angry about this.

If Zhao Huan did not let Liang Shicheng go, then there is no need to talk about the rest.

Sure enough, more than ten days later, news of Bianliang City came quickly.

Hundreds of Tai students gathered in Xuandelou to write a letter to Fujue, asking to behead the traitor Liang Shicheng.

A few days later, news came from Bianliang City again that Liang Shicheng, who had contributed to Zhao Huan's support, was indeed demoted to be the deputy envoy of the Changhua Army.

The imperial court struggled fiercely, and once they were demoted out, they would all be losers.

Giving a name or something is just a little cover for his own appearance.

After hearing the news, Zhao Ji and others started preparing to return to Bianliang City without the slightest hesitation.

However, before they left, there was an astonishing news.

Liang Shicheng was hanged on the way to be demoted!
This news deeply shocked everyone.

I encourage the scholar-officials here to rule the world, so naturally they have raised their status to a very high level.

He even came up with a saying that "scholar-bureaucrats cannot be punished".

In the past, no matter how fierce the battle was, the scholar-bureaucrats who reached a certain status, even if they failed and were demoted, at least they could guarantee their lives without worry.

Now, Liang Shicheng will be slaughtered directly!
Although he was a eunuch, he was a 'hidden figure' after all, and even he was slaughtered. Everyone from Zhao Ji to his cronies was in danger.

Obviously, the Supreme Emperor's party who returned to Bianliang City in order to protect themselves will inevitably fight to the death.

In March of Yangchun, spring rain is as expensive as oil.

In the fields among the countryside in Zhengzhou Prefecture, a large group of people are busy plowing in the spring rain.

Li Yunze, who was plowing the field with his ox, raised his eyes and saw Kang Lu waiting on the ridge of the field, and pulled Fan Yangli down to continue plowing.

After plowing the field, he turned around and walked to the ridge.

"My lord."

Kang Lu, who came over with a water bottle, respectfully presented the water bottle, then lowered his voice, "Then Liang Shicheng was indeed hanged to death."

Li Yunze was noncommittal, took a few sips from the water bottle, and then exhaled, "Yeah."

The city of Bianliang was about to be turbulent, and people on both sides were about to start biting wildly.

As a smart person, he naturally chose to stay out of the matter at this time, and let them eat enough before talking.

Li Yunze asked for an errand from Zhao Huan, and it was to inspect the spring plowing in Northwest Beijing Road.

This kind of thing has no other benefits other than making some money and improving reputation, let alone military power.

So Zhao Huan didn't hesitate at all, and immediately agreed.

Li Yunze, who was holding a kettle, looked at the people who were busy in the spring plowing, and muttered softly, "Dogs biting dogs should be limited to the court, so don't torment the people."

"You have done a good job in your affairs, and last time you encouraged Tai students to write a letter."

With a smile on his face, Li Yunze praised Kang Lu, "I will reward you with two hundred guan."

Kang Lu was overjoyed, and hurriedly saluted, "Thank you, my lord."

Raising his hand to pat him on the shoulder, Li Yunze made a wish, "If you can soar to [-] miles in the future, I will never forget your contribution."

Kang Lu was so excited that he was shaking, and his head was already stuck on the ridge of the field.

Buying people's hearts is nothing more than fame and fortune.

This is especially true for eunuchs like Kang Lu.

Li Yunze is not short of money, what he is short of for the time being is righteousness and fame.

"Leaving for Luoyang, Xijing tomorrow." Li Yunze instructed Kang Lu, "After arriving in Luoyang, you should go to the family of the great man Zhai in Song County. Invite them to come and see this king."

Naturally, Kang Lu didn't have much to say, so he responded immediately.

The Zhai family is a big man in Xijing. At this time, the two brothers Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin, who are the famous big and small Zhai, are the head of the family.

Their brothers once participated in the famous Battle of Lingzhou where Liu Fa raided Xixia, and later participated in the Battle of Yanyun in the Northern Expedition.

Because Yanyun was defeated by the Liao people in the Northern Expedition, many people were unlucky because of this, and the brothers of the Zhai family returned to their hometown because of this.

In history, the brothers of the Zhai family fought desperately against gold until they died in battle. They are absolute heroes.

Li Yunze naturally wants to recruit such people.

On the way to Luoyang, Li Yunze made a slight turn around Songshan Mountain and went to the border of Ruzhou.

Walk in various villages and towns, check spring plowing matters, and discuss matters related to spring plowing with local government officials.

If there is a lack of cattle or farm tools, he will write a letter to Bianliang City to ask Zhao Huan for it.

The yamen of various places, as well as the Imperial City Secretary who accompanied him, would naturally also write letters. Li Yunze in the letters was undoubtedly a virtuous king who valued spring farming and worked hard.

There is absolutely no making friends with local officials, or even getting involved with the military.

On this day, Li Yunze came to Shibeigou Village, Lushan County, which is backed by Mount Funiu, with traffic congestion and few people.

Everyone in the entourage wanted to remind Li Yunze, "My lord, it's almost over."It's okay to be a virtuous king, but it doesn't have to be for this sake. '

There is no need to come to such a remote mountain village.

Li Yunze understood their thoughts, but he ignored them.

"There is a lot of game in the mountains and forests here." Looking at the deep mountains and old forests in front of him, Li Yunze stretched out his hand and pointed, "How about I wait here to hunt?"

The prince wanted to hunt, so the people accompanying him naturally had nothing to say.

It's just that among these people, only a few guards, Yuqian Banzhi and Huangcheng Secretary, brought bows and arrows, and the others had to go to the village first to settle down.

"Walk."

Li Yunze rode his horse and carried his bow, and rushed directly into the forest.

Needless to say his shooting skills, he had already shot dozens of hares and pheasants in less than half an hour, and everyone cheered and cheered non-stop.

"My lord."

There was an imperial class who repeatedly signaled, "There are deer in the forest!"

Compared with the pheasant and hare, which are tasteless and meatless, the deer in the forest is definitely a real delicacy.

After Li Yunze saw it, he didn't talk nonsense, he just opened his bow and set his arrows.

Before shooting the arrow, he glanced at the dense forest on the left in surprise, and then let go of the bowstring.

Almost at the same time, a sharp arrow flew out of the dense forest on the left.

The two arrows shot through the neck of the deer in the forest almost at the same time.

The squad members were overjoyed, and hurried over to try to pull the deer.

But from the dense forest on the left, an extremely burly man jumped out and roared, "This is a deer shot by a certain family!"

The squads immediately started arguing with him, and they used violent gestures. Several squads were knocked down by three punches and two kicks.

When the strong man wanted to carry the deer, Li Yunze rode over and asked slowly, "Who are you?"

Seeing that Li Yunze's clothes were expensive and not like ordinary people, the strong man hesitated, put down the deer, saluted and sang aloud.

"Someone is the hunter of Shibeigou Village at the foot of the mountain, Niu Gao."
