Chapter 268 0265 [Xunde Di Ji]

The 21th of the first month.

Han Zhen personally led the army along the foot of Mount Tai, passed through Zizhou and entered Yizhou, and arrived at Xintai County.

Lu Zhen, the magistrate of Xintai County, led a group of subordinate officials and county gentry members to go out of the city for three miles to meet the army.

Han Zhenduan sat on his horse, looked at Lu Zhen, who was wearing a green official robe, and asked condescendingly: "Are you the county magistrate Lu Zhen?"

"Wei Chen pays homage to County Magistrate Han!"

Lu Zhen dusted off his official robe and bowed.

Weichen?

Hearing this claim, Lao Jiu and the other guards looked strange, but they also felt faintly excited.

If the county magistrate becomes emperor, the status of these personal guards will really rise. They may even be able to obtain a title, make a wife, and benefit future generations.

Han Zhen looked at him with a smile but not a smile, and said playfully: "You are a minister of the Song Dynasty. You are a member of the Song Dynasty. You must be loyal to the king. Why do you do this?"

Lu Zhen's face remained unchanged and he said loudly: "Zhao Song was immoral. The emperor was fatuous and loved villains. However, the virtuous ministers allowed treacherous and sycophantic officials to control the government. As a result, the people were in dire straits and mourning was everywhere. Although the humble ministers were deprived of the Song Dynasty's salary, they could not bear the suffering of the people in the world."

"Now the county magistrate has taken advantage of the situation, using the right to defeat the unjust, implementing the policy of frivolous corvee and low taxes, and showing sympathy for the sufferings of the people. I, Lu Zhen, admire him very much and yearn for him."

These words were impassioned, resonant and spoke directly from the heart.

Anyone who listens to this will have a thumbs up.

A word of praise: What a wise minister who serves the people wholeheartedly!

People were starting to show off their acting skills, so Han Zhen had no choice but to cooperate with him and finish the good show of a wise minister meeting a wise master.

I saw Han Zhen turn over and dismount, hold Lu Zhen's hands and help him up, with a look of emotion on his face: "If all the people in the world are as sensible and good officials like Lu Zhen, who do practical things, why should I, Han Zhen, make such a big move?" Where’s Dao Ge?”

He was too lazy to guess whether Lu Zhen was loyal or traitorous, and he didn't want to guess.

The other is traitorous and I am virtuous.

Even if he is a treacherous person, when he is in the hands of Han Zhen, he has to be an upright and honest official!
He can correct the likes of Zhao Ting and Liu Mi, but is he still afraid of another Lu Zhen?

This person was the first Zhao Song official to surrender after he officially raised the flag of rebellion, which was of great significance.

With this example, it will be easier to conquer other states and counties next.

Lu Zhen said with excitement: "Thanks to the county magistrate for not giving up, I am very grateful."

Han Zhen patted his shoulder lightly and said solemnly: "Xintai County still needs Magistrate Lu to pay more attention."

Those who can serve as officials are all talented people. Lu Zhen couldn't hear what he said. He was overjoyed and bowed again: "Please be patient, county magistrate. I will definitely live up to my trust."

Han Zhen smiled slightly, looked at the people behind him, and asked, knowingly, "Why don't you see the county chief registrar?"

Hearing this, Lu Zhen was immediately filled with righteous indignation and said: "The chief secretary Li Wenming is stubborn and tried to incite the people to resist the king's division. Yesterday, he was imprisoned by the humble minister and is waiting for the county magistrate's punishment."

Check it out.

This man's behavior led him to jail, specially waiting for Han Zhen to deal with it.

The attitude is spot on!

"Since he is stubborn, let's kill him."

Han Zhen waved his hand and ordered in a calm tone.

The coldness in the words frightened Lu Zhen and all the gentry.

"Wei Chen takes orders."

Lu Zhen responded quickly.

Han Zhen looked at the subordinate officials behind him and said, "Xintai has a population of tens of thousands, and Lu Zhixian may not be able to handle it all alone. We can select a person with outstanding ability from the subordinate officials to temporarily act as the chief registrar."

As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of the subordinate staff suddenly lit up.

County Magistrate Han really meant what he said. He said he would share the world with his subordinates, and he would share the world without any water mixed in.

"Wei Chen takes orders."

After Lu Zhen agreed, he said with a smile on his face: "The gentry and outsiders in the county have admired the county magistrate for a long time. They organized a banquet and asked the county magistrate to condescend to show their respect."

"I appreciate your kindness. However, the war is urgent now and there is no time to delay. I will save this wine for next time."

Han Zhen declined politely and immediately ordered: "Magistrate Lu, please go back now so that you can appease the people."

Lu Zhen said loudly: "I'm resigning."

After that, he led everyone back to the county.

After watching Lu Zhen and others leave, Han Zhen got on his horse and waved his hand: "The whole army is set off!"

Not long after, the army set off again, heading straight for Yishui County.

In just eight days, Yizhou fell.

Later, Han Zhen ordered Huang Kai to lead [-] cavalry and [-] infantry to go south and capture the Huaiyang Army (Suqian). After that, he led the army to continue eastward to Mizhou.

Knowing that Han Zhen personally led the army to suppress the border, the subordinate officials in Mizhou counties killed officials and rebelled to welcome the Qingzhou army into the city.

On the day when Zhucheng's prefectures were destroyed, Zhizhou committed suicide and ordered Zhao Zhi to lead a group of officials to surrender.

……

……

In the spring of the sixth year of Xuanhe, it was the first day of the first lunar month.

Han Zhen of Shandong raised his troops to attack the Song Dynasty.Wherever he passed, the subordinate officials cheered and killed officials and opened the city.

At the end of the moon, it conquered all the states in Shandong, and the emperor was afraid of it.

Also, Jinghu Zhongxiang and Yang Yao started an uprising in Dongting Lake and took more than [-] people with them.

——"The Legacy of Xuanhe of the Song Dynasty"

"On the 25th of the first lunar month, Yizhou fell. On the same day, Puzhou fell, and Tuan Lian envoy died in battle."

"On the 28th of the first lunar month, the Wuning army was defeated miserably and the Xuzhou Jiedushi was captured."

"On the 29th of the first lunar month, Xuzhou fell and Mizhou fell."

"..."

Listening to the battle report read out by Liang Shicheng, Song Huizong's heart sank a little bit.

In just one month, nineteen out of ten prefectures and 81 counties in both Jingdong and Jingdong have fallen into the hands of the rebels. The remaining prefectures will obviously not be able to hold on for long.

You know, when Fang La was at his peak, he gathered 50 troops and only occupied 25 counties in eight states and half of Jiangnan Road.

Even so, the world was shocked.At present, the Qingzhou thieves have captured both the Jingdong and Jingdong routes, and they are becoming more and more fierce as they fight. Their power is not diminished, and they have the courage to sweep the world!
The [-] Western Army led by Zhong Shidao was still halfway there.

Even though Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty had issued several decrees to urge him, no matter how fast the army could travel, it would not go anywhere fast.

In the original plan, after Tong Guan recruited all the new soldiers and practiced for several months, he should go north to guard Daming Mansion.

However, the Qingzhou thieves' offensive was too swift and violent, and they were unstoppable all the way.

Tong Guan hasn't recruited all the new soldiers yet, and the whole of Shandong is about to fall into the hands of the rebels.

Seeing that the plan was completely disrupted, Song Huizong didn't care much and urgently recruited [-] forbidden troops from Hebei to garrison Daming Mansion.At the same time, Tong Guan was sent to lead [-] new soldiers and more than [-] deserters from the Western Army to guard Yingtian Mansion and Xingren Mansion.

The other states in Shandong will fall if they fall, but these two prefectures must not be lost.

Because Yingtian Mansion and Xingren Mansion are adjacent to Kaifeng Mansion, especially Xingren Mansion, which is less than a hundred miles away from Tokyo City, and there is no natural danger to defend.

Once occupied by rebels, Song Huizong would probably immediately flee south.

In fact, at this moment, Song Huizong already had the idea of ​​fleeing south, but he was persuaded by the officials in the court to stop him.

When the house leaks, it rains all night; when the boat breaks down, it encounters the head wind.

Before the rebellion in Shandong was settled, there were rebels in Jinghu Lake. In just a few days, more than [-] people gathered in Dongting Lake and occupied eight surrounding counties.

Inside the Qinzheng Hall.

"Pass on my decree and order Liu Yanqing to be the general manager of Jinghu and Hunan Roads to train the imperial army and put down the rebellion!"

"Yes!"

Liang Shicheng bowed in response, and then hurriedly prepared the order.

Song Huizong sighed, feeling a splitting headache and a feeling of fainting in his head.

When the palace maid behind her saw him, she hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out her hand and gently squeezed Song Huizong's temples.

After a while, Song Huizong felt more comfortable, and the dizziness in his head gradually subsided.

During this period of time, there were literally three shocks a day. If there was any slight disturbance at night, I would wake up from my sleep.

"Your Majesty, Emperor Xunde wishes to see you."

At this moment, the middle-class man with poor reputation outside the door reported.

"Xuan!"

Song Huizong said weakly.

Not long after, a pretty and tall figure stepped into the hall.

"Daughter met Daddy."

Zhao Fujin performed a Wanfu ceremony and called out softly.

Father is the official term, just like me.

In private, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty often called himself "I", and would even call him "I" when he was angry.

Similarly, the emperors and princes, unless there are courtiers present, call daddy or daddy just like ordinary people.

Seeing his daughter, Song Huizong forced a smile on his face and asked patiently: "Why is Xunde here?"

Song Huizong had many daughters. If we were to count them in detail, there would be 34, but there were only two that he loved the most.

One is Maode Diji, Zhao Fujin.

The other one is the Emperor Xunde in front of her, Zhao Fujin.

One is blessed with gold, the other is rich with gold. Just by looking at their names, you can tell how much Song Huizong prefers them.

Both emperors and concubines were born to Empress Mingda Liu's family. Their appearance and character were also inherited from their mother. They were born with beautiful faces, gentle and virtuous people.

Zhao Fujin was older and was promised to Cai Jing's fifth son in the first year of Chonghe. Cai Ji was to be made in the Xuanhe Hall.

Fu Jin was only a hairdresser when he was last year, and he was sixteen years old.

According to the rules, in the year of Emperor Ji Biyu, it was time to find a consort for her.

But Song Huizong was reluctant and planned to let Zhao Fujin stay with him for two more years. Every time he saw this daughter, he couldn't help but think of the late Mingda Queen Liu.

Zhao Fujin took the food box from the hand of the maid behind him and said softly: "Dad has not thought about food and tea during this period. He was afraid that he would become ill from worries. So my daughter asked the imperial doctor in the palace for a recipe and made a medicinal meal for her father. Replenish your body.”

Song Huizong was deeply moved and said happily: "Xunde is thoughtful. It is worthy of my father's love for you."

Zhao Fujin smiled, his delicate face was soft and tranquil, and his brows exuded a sense of grace and nobility.

"This medicinal diet has the effect of clearing the mind and calming the mind. Dad should eat it while it is hot. If it is cold, the efficacy and taste will be greatly reduced."

She opened the food box, took out a bowl of lily and chicken soup, and respectfully presented it on the table.

"it is good!"

Song Huizong picked up the bowl, took a spoonful and put it into his mouth. He couldn't help but praise: "Xunde's craftsmanship is getting better and better. I don't know which boy will take advantage of him."

"Daddy."

A touch of shame crawled onto Zhao Fujin's fair and jade-like cheeks.

Maybe after seeing his daughter, maybe because he drank the medicinal food, Song Huizong felt better and joked: "It's so shameful. I'm getting older. I'm going to get married after all."

Zhao Fujin said softly: "Xunde wants to stay with daddy for a few more years."

Song Huizong said with emotion: "In fact, dad can't bear to leave you. Maode married early. If you marry again, dad will really become a loner."

"Your Majesty, I would like to see Mr. Li!"

The noble man's voice sounded.

Hearing this, Zhao Fujin picked up the food box and warned: "Dad is busy with state affairs, but he should also take care of himself. My daughter will leave first."

"I saved it for my father!"

Song Huizong nodded slightly and ordered at the same time: "Xuan!"

Zhao Fujin carried the food box and led his maid out of the Qinzheng Palace when he bumped into Li Bangyan.

"Meet Li Xiang."

Zhao Fujin knelt down and saluted.

Li Bangyan didn't dare to show off, and returned the favor with his hands raised: "I have met Emperor Xunde."

Ever since Emperor Maode got married, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty had favored Emperor Xunde the most. This matter was known to everyone in the civil and military dynasties, and even to the common people in the capital.

Even Li Bangyan would not dare to offend.
