Chapter 130 Confrontation in the Dark Night (Two in One)

Tai Xue Nei.

A group of Tai students looked at the amount of the old coins in the mansion newspaper, their eyes were bloodshot, and they were very angry, and they all denounced the wolf ambitions of the two countries.

Especially in Kaifeng City, the envoys of Liao and Xia are arrogant and domineering. The envoys of the two countries want to add new coins, not to mention, the envoys of Liao want to change the coins into tribute, and Xixia wants to cut off the three cities of the Song Dynasty. This is even more exciting. There are a group of young students who are too high-spirited.

"When the court dispute came, the officials decreed to expel the envoys of the Liao and Xia countries, and vowed that after the Song Dynasty, no compensation would be given if there was no marriage, no land, no money, the world would guard the gates of the country, and the king would die."

Suddenly another shocking news reached Taixue.

"it is good!"

The Taixue was almost blown away, and all the Taixue students clapped their hands and applauded with enthusiasm.

Without him, Zhao Xu's iron-blood oath is just right for the appetite of all the Tai students.

"The official family is really the Lord of England, and I, Da Song, can be saved!"

Zhang Yong, a doctor of Taixue, burst into tears and said, although he is old, why is he willing to bear the shame of the old coins.

"The evil doctor Fan Zhengchao made up the half-queen "Manjianghong"."

Then came another shocking news.

"The shame of the old coin has not yet been snowed, and the hatred of the courtiers, when will it disappear!  …"

"Be from scratch, clean up the old mountains and rivers, overturned Que."

As Banque's "Man Jianghong" spread throughout Taixue, all the Taixue students were very excited. Fan Zheng's half-quee words were written in their hearts, and they wished to abandon their pens and join the army to serve the country, sweep Xixia, and destroy Liao Kingdom in the north .

"The emperor has ambition, and the minister has lofty aspirations. I, Song Dynasty, are united as one, so why worry about not being happy." Zhang Yong said excitedly in his heart.

"What about the hero? It's a pity that the empress dowager is behind the curtain to listen to the government. Even if the officials have the ambition of Lingyun, I'm afraid they don't have the power to fight bravely."

"It would be great if the officials were in charge!" Wang Di sighed in his heart.

The hearts of all the Tai students were moved, and Wang Di's words expressed what they thought.

"Fan Zheng implores the Empress Dowager to withdraw the curtain, the officials will be in charge, and the Empress Dowager wants to kill Fan Zheng."

"There has never been a reform in the past dynasties without bloodshed. The two reforms in the Song Dynasty today have not heard of anyone who shed blood because of the reform. This is the reason why the Song Dynasty was not prosperous. If there is, please fan Zhengqi."

Afterwards, more and more stories about Fan Zheng's feats in court spread, and all the Tai students remained silent. They always called Fan Zheng an evil doctor, so they didn't feel contemptuous, but now Fan Zheng did a feat that made them all ashamed .

"Senior Brother Fan is in trouble, how can I sit idly by while waiting for the Grand Doctor?"

"My doctor can't repeat Hua Tuo's tragedy again!"

Suddenly, a burst of passionate noise came from the Imperial Medical Bureau nearby, causing all the imperial students to look sideways.

"What's going on?" Everyone was puzzled.

Soon someone came back after inquiring about the news, and said with an embarrassed face: "The evil doctor Fan Zheng asked the Empress Dowager to withdraw the curtain and let the officials take charge of the government. The Empress Dowager was furious and wanted to kill Fan Zheng, and all the doctors were going to knock on the gate to support Fan Zheng.

Now that the evil doctor Fan Zheng has succeeded in transforming the forensic family, he is a well-deserved leader of the medical family, and even the idol of the young imperial doctor. Now Fan Zheng is full of impassioned and passionate songs, loyal to the emperor and the country, but he was unjustly killed by the empress dowager, which naturally aroused the imperial medical bureau dissatisfaction.

After being secretly instigated by the New Party, people immediately became enthusiastic and supported Fan Zheng.

Seeing the successful layout of the Imperial Medical Bureau, Wang Di came out and shouted: "Everyone, the official family is the master of Zhongxing, intending to lead the Song Dynasty to reform and strengthen itself, but the Empress Dowager insists on giving Liaoxia Sui coins, which is a large amount of the Song Dynasty. There are even rumors that the Empress Dowager intends to abolish the emperor, and it is said that she is located in King Yong, and there is even news that the Empress Dowager is planning to mobilize the imperial army to seize power by force."

"It just doesn't make sense!"

Zhang Yong felt chills, Empress Dowager Gao has been in power for eight years, holding great power, is this possible?
"The old traitor is good at the country!"

"The official family has grown up, but the Empress Dowager is still unwilling to return to power. It turned out that she wanted to do the work of Empress Wu."

A group of Tai students angrily said that the officials were determined to make progress and vowed to revitalize the Song Dynasty, but the Empress Dowager Gao wanted to abolish the emperor and flatter the Liao and Xia countries for her own selfishness.

"The country has been supporting scholars for 20 years, and the day of the righteous death is today! You are willing to join me, Wang Di, to knock on the gate and ask for orders, so that the officials and the family can govern in person and revitalize the Song Dynasty." Wang Di shouted.

Wang Di is the grandson of Wang Anshi. Wang Anshi has a bad reputation in court, but he has a high prestige in the hearts of young people.

At the moment, a team of Tai doctors and a team of Tai students are supporting each other!He rushed to the imperial city in a mighty way, knocked on the gate to ask for orders, and asked the officials to take charge of the government.

The people of Kaifeng watched this scene in shock, but when they learned the whole story, they were also filled with righteous indignation.

For the people of Kaifeng!The New Year coins given to Liao Xia are all for their people's fat and people's anointing, and the officials are finally determined to abolish the New Year coins, and the Empress Dowager Gao still wants to continue to send New Year coins to the Liao Kingdom.

"The rise and fall, everyone is responsible!"

"The bitter years of the Song Dynasty have been coined for a long time!"

"The official family is the master of Zhongxing, please withdraw the curtain from the empress dowager!"

Immediately, the citizens of Kaifeng also followed the imperial doctor and the imperial student to the imperial palace to knock on the que.

More radical scholars and scholars came directly to Baihutang, surrounded the gate and scolded him for being a waste of the king's kindness, for daring to make trouble under the order of Empress Dowager Gao, and they would be liquidated and punished for their nine clans in the future.

"It's simply unreasonable! How dare you block Baihutang, this is a capital crime! Come, arrest them all.!" Gao Gongji was furious.

"General Gao must not do so. These are scholars and literati, many of whom are well-known. We must not act rashly." Taiwei Meng Yuan shook his head.

The Great Song Dynasty used literature to control the military for a hundred years, and the generals' fear of literati seemed to be deeply rooted in their bones. They would rather face the fierce and tyrannical Liao soldiers than point their soldiers at the literati, because it was a taboo.

"Presumptuous, the empress dowager is dedicated to the country and has worked hard for the country. They insulted them openly. This is a crime of disrespect. Don't forget that you have the status you have today, and you all receive the empress dowager's grace." Gao Gongji said angrily.

All the generals were silent for a moment, the Gao family was originally a family of generals, quite prestigious in the army, after he came to power, all the generals were single-handedly promoted by them.

Take today's Taiwei Meng Yuan as an example. He was originally just a defense envoy. His granddaughter was admired by Empress Dowager Gao and appointed as queen, and she was continuously promoted by Empress Dowager Gao to the post of Taiwei.

Naturally, Meng Yuan also voted for peaches and rewarded him with plums, and he used Gao Gongji more, making him the second Taiwei.

"Forcing the palace for no reason is really a violation of filial piety. Now that the Empress Dowager is alive or dead, it is not ungrateful for you to sit idly by. Now that Kaifeng City is in chaos, if we help the Empress Dowager to put things right... …”

The faces of all the generals changed and they said: "General Gao said carefully, you can't send troops without a tiger talisman in the army. This is the ancestral system. The empress dowager didn't send the order, and the privy envoy Mr. Cao didn't send the order to transfer troops. If we wait If you act rashly, no matter what the reason is, you will definitely die."

A group of scholars did not make alarmist remarks. The Song Dynasty learned from the lessons of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and the warriors were heavily guarded. Any signs of rebellion would be severely punished.

This time it was the government and the Empress Dowager who seized power. If they participated in it, even if the Empress Dowager won, she might not escape the liquidation of the next generation of emperors after her death.

After all, no matter what the reason is, it is unforgivable for the emperor to bring troops to force the palace. Besides, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have already supported the government, so why should they be so early.

"We are not waiting for rebellion, but to ensure the safety of the Empress Dowager, don't forget the lesson of the emperor and courtiers." Gao Gongji whispered bewitching.

The generals couldn't help but frown. They were indeed promoted by the Empress Dowager Gao. Only with the presence of the Empress Dowager Gao can they keep their positions. If the officials are in charge, I'm afraid...

"Furthermore, the officials were bewitched by the evil doctor Fan Zheng and determined to change the law. In the future, they will definitely use the new party and restart the Liaoxia War. How many innocent soldiers will die by then, you and I may not escape." Gao Gongji threatened again.

Meng Yuan and the other generals were shocked. They had all experienced the wars for many years, so they naturally knew the cruelty of the war and the ferocity of Xixia soldiers, and fear of war grew in their hearts.

"Besides, we are not fighting alone. Among the civil servants, there are many who follow the Empress Dowager, and they will certainly not sit idly by the officials' unfilial behavior." Gao Gongji said confidently.

Empress Dowager Gao is the leader of the conservative faction, she has many followers, she was caught off guard by Zhao Xu today!You may not lose in a real contest.

All the generals looked at each other and nodded slowly, while Taiwei Meng Yuan looked hesitant.

Seeing this, Gao Gongji whispered in a low voice: "Empress Meng was handpicked by Empress Dowager Gao, and the government has never liked it. If the Empress Dowager loses power, I am afraid that Empress Meng's position as empress will be lost! Don't forget that the Renzong Dynasty was abolished. The lessons learned by the Hou Guo family."

Meng Yuan's face suddenly changed. Guo was the first queen of Renzong, and also the hand-picked queen of Empress Dowager Liu E. Renzong didn't like it. Empress, and her granddaughter Empress Meng is exactly the same as Guo.

"This matter needs a long-term plan!" Meng Yuan said solemnly:

When Gao Gongji saw this, he smiled triumphantly in his heart. Whether it was for his position as a captain or as a queen, Meng Yuan must stand on the side of the empress dowager.

With the support of Taiwei Meng Yuan, great things can be accomplished!

When Meng Yuan returned to the Meng Mansion worriedly, it was already dark!
Suddenly, he found that the Meng Mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons, which was extremely grand. Just as he was about to get angry and reprimanded, he saw a graceful and luxurious figure, which was Empress Meng.

"The old minister sees the empress!" Meng Yuan stepped forward and saluted.

Empress Meng quickly helped Meng Yuan up and said, "Grandpa! This is the granddaughter who should salute you at home!"

Meng Yuan stubbornly said: "Courtesy cannot be discarded, now you have become a queen empress, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers!"

Empress Meng couldn't help sighing, Meng Yuan has always been extremely stubborn, and she was also extremely helpless about it.

"Why did you go home suddenly? Could it be that the official family just kicked you back!" Meng Yuan suddenly changed his expression.

Empress Meng smiled wryly and said, "Grandpa, what are you talking about? The officials invited me to come here to persuade Grandpa to stabilize the morale of the army and ensure that there is no chaos in the army."

Meng Yuan frowned, he didn't expect that the officials would ask the queen to persuade him in person.

"How is the Empress Dowager?" Meng Yuan asked.

Empress Meng replied truthfully: "The emperor's grandmother is in the palace now, and the queen mother is trying to persuade her!"

Meng Yuan was silent, he naturally knew what Queen Meng meant by "persuade".

"You should know that the Empress Dowager has great kindness to the Meng family, and the official family doesn't like you. If the Empress Dowager hadn't handpicked you, the official family would not have made you the empress." Meng Yuan said solemnly.

Empress Meng's face remained unchanged, she nodded and said: "The granddaughter knows, but the granddaughter has already married the official family, so she will marry a chicken and follow the chicken and marry a dog as the dog. What's more, the granddaughter is pregnant with the dragon now, and has shared the honor and disgrace with the official family. .”

Meng Yuan calmly said: "In the harem, besides you, there are two other concubines who are pregnant. If you give birth to a non-prince, if the empress dowager is not around, I'm afraid you will be deposed!"

Empress Meng was not surprised by this and said: "Even if the granddaughter gave birth to a princess this time, she will give birth to a prince in the future, because the granddaughter has already mastered the secret recipe for a woman's pregnancy."

At that moment, Empress Meng told Fan Zheng's pregnancy rules, and Meng Yuan's face was moved for the first time. If there is this method, the chances of Empress Meng giving birth to a prince will increase greatly. It's not like there is no chance to ascend to the throne. At that time, the status of the Meng family was as stable as Mount Tai.

Of course, Empress Meng has something to hide. She has no reputation for Zhao Xu's physical condition. If Zhao Xu's health recovers, she will definitely give birth to a prince.

"Besides, the concubine came here with a military order from the government. If I can't convince my grandfather, I'm afraid the government won't use the granddaughter, and the granddaughter will have no face to see the government again." Empress Meng said sadly.

Meng Yuan's face froze immediately. He naturally knew that his granddaughter and his temper were very similar, so he would definitely do what he said, but without the support of Empress Dowager Gao, his granddaughter might be deposed.

But now if he supported Empress Dowager Gao, his granddaughter would have abolished the position of empress herself.

"Father! This is the grievance between their grandparents and their grandchildren. They are connected to each other. Could it be that the official family can kill the empress dowager? Why did our Meng family take the risk of exterminating the family to participate in it!" Meng, the father of Empress Meng I am trying to persuade.

Meng Yuan is struggling between heaven and man, on the one hand, the promotion of the Empress Dowager Gao, and on the other hand, the future happiness of his granddaughter and the future of the Meng family.

After a long time, Meng Yuan sighed: "We must ensure the safety of the Empress Dowager."

Empress Meng burst into tears of joy, knowing that Grandpa had decided to side with the official family!

"Thank you, Grandpa!" Empress Meng bowed solemnly.

"I hope you won't regret it in the future!" Meng Yuan sighed.

At the moment, Meng Yuan made up his mind to support the officials, and immediately began to make secret arrangements.

At the same time, Cai Que stepped into the Cao Mansion. The relationship between the Cao family and the Empress Dowager Gao was irreversible. The Empress Dowager Gao was the niece of the Cao family.

Empress Guangxian Cao asked her niece Gao to marry Yingzong. After the Empress Dowager Gao listened to the government behind the curtain, she reported that Li appointed Cao Hui as the privy envoy.

After half an hour, Cai Que walked out of Cao's house confidently.

The more powerful the family, the more cautious they are. Now the three prime ministers in the court all support the government and the people are passionately demanding that the officials be in charge. The Cao family only needs to remain neutral to ensure their prosperity and wealth. Naturally, they will not take risks. act.

Later, Cai Que visited several important military officials again and again. These were all military supporters of Xining's Reform in the past, so as to make a perfect plan.

After all this was done, Cai Que breathed a sigh of relief, the east had turned pale, and before he knew it, the sky had already dawned.

He knew all of this, and the diehards following the Empress Dowager Gao certainly hadn't been idle. However, as long as the army was stable, the officials were eighteen years old, and they grasped the principles of pro-government, and the people's hearts were in the officials, this time the new party was sure to win.
