The new era of chaos begins in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 318: Sir, do you intend to take over the world again?

What does it mean to see Mr. Dasu off for a ride?

Su Shi was nearly seventy years old, so wasn't saying this just to curse him to death? !

As soon as Ergou said these words, Su Shi, who was sitting on the big boat, was not moved at all. He only smiled and looked at Ergou who was uttering arrogant words.

Wei Su Guo was furious, Zhang Yuan's expression changed, and Zhang Dun was also a little worried.

Zhang Dun is two years older than Su Shi. The two of them were once closer than brothers, and they were once sworn enemies. Now, in their old age, they actually sit together again. .

Now Zhang Dun is like a quarrelsome little resentful woman. He can scold Su Shi however he wants, but if others slander Su Shi, he will never agree.

Su Guo shouted angrily: "Where did this madman come from! How dare you talk nonsense here!"

Ergou laughed to himself, moved the boat closer to the other's big black-awned boat, and then jumped in front of Su Shi with only a slight jump.

The father and son Zhang and Su were not the only ones on the boat. There was also a highly skilled guard who temporarily acted as the boatman of the awning boat.

When the guard saw the two dogs boarding the boat, he didn't take action first. He only turned his attention to Zhang Dun.

Zhang Dun sighed and said, "Please ask Coach Zhang to capture this guy!"

The guard, known as Coach Zhang, immediately picked up a bamboo stick and used it as a spear to stab the two dogs.

Ergou didn't want to, but he only missed his opponent's bamboo stick and grabbed it.

Coach Zhang was shocked and was about to take back the weapon. Unexpectedly, Ergou only pulled the stick weakly and let his strength come to grab it. Coach Zhang couldn't help but use all his strength, and then Ergou sent it away gently, killing his opponent. Pushed off the bow of the boat and fell into the Lanxi River.

After sending away those who were in the way, Ergou knelt down on his knees, paid homage to Su Shi and said, "Young scholar, please pay homage to Mr. Su!"

Ergou's move shook all four people present.

Su Shi couldn't sit still and asked curiously: "I don't know whose family this little brother is from, but why do you come to worship me?"

Next to them, Su Guo and Zhang Yuan stared at the two dogs with wary expressions, while Zhang Dun was thoughtful.

Ergou did not answer Su Shi. He only turned his head and said to Zhang Dun: "If Mr. Zhang has nothing to do, please go with your son! If you stay here, I am afraid that I will have to send Mr. Zhang off later."

Zhang Dun looked at Ergou in surprise, but said: "Are you really here to kill people? But you don't know who ordered it? Well, Coach Zhang is a top-notch expert in the Forbidden Army, you can easily break him in In the water, it can be seen that your martial arts skills are close to the peak, and you are so young, you are not an ordinary person. Could it be that you were sent by the emperor?"

Ergou just smiled and said: "Let Mr. Zhang guess whatever you want, just go ahead! This matter is closely related, so I don't want to get involved too much."

Zhang Dun sneered and shook his head: "I also practiced some martial arts when I was young. In the past few years, when I was proud, I was always surrounded by masters. I still have some research on the growth of martial arts. Judging from my face, I should be still young. Double Ten! I'm afraid there won't be many such young heroes in the world.

The only people who are most likely to have characters like Little Brother are the children of the generals of the Song Dynasty. However, in recent years, the great generals in the imperial court have not produced truly outstanding young heroes. "

After saying this, Zhang Dun smiled and said: "When I think about it carefully, I remember that there was a young man who did great things in the capital five years ago!

Single-handedly slaughtered the Wuyou Cave, let his horse run through the long streets of the capital at night, fought with Gao Gongji, the former top general, destroyed an elite battalion of the Forbidden Army with thunder and fire, and sniped the eight great monks of the Daxiangguo Temple...

A boy who was only fourteen years old could accomplish so many great things. When I saw the report about his identity, I couldn't believe it was true.

He was so powerful five years ago. Now five years have passed. I believe his strength has grown even more terrifying! "

Having said this, Zhang Dun smiled and asked word by word: "What do you think? Chen's dog!"

Ergou smiled bitterly and sighed, saying: "Mr. Zhang is so wise, he is indeed the most powerful prime minister since the founding of the Song Dynasty. But since Prime Minister Zhang has guessed my identity, he should also know my purpose, so why bother to say anything to reveal it?" Woolen cloth?!"

Zhang Dun frowned and said: "Uncle Li Wen (Li Gefei) is a sincere gentleman. In order to protect the Su family, he did not care about the loss of his reputation and was willing to be humiliated by the emperor. His character and character are not as good as mine. You are the son-in-law of the Li family." , but you came here to pursue Dasu’s rebellious behavior, aren’t you afraid of ruining the reputation of the Li family?!”

Ergou said with a smile: "Xiangong Li is now slandered for being greedy for power and position, and his reputation is very bad. He has no good reputation at all. But if I take advantage of it on my own, it will not be as good as his reputation!"

At this time, Su Shi, who was sitting next to Zhang Dun, sighed: "The whole court is full of people who are either stupid or selfish. Everyone does not know Uncle Wen's painstaking efforts and only regards him with greed. Only I am protected by him and enjoy some comfort. But if you lose the respect of the elders, you will find it difficult to sleep at night."

Ergou said with a smile: "Master Su can understand Mr. Mo Mei's difficulties. He will be relieved if he hears it! If this boy doesn't need to say much and only does some disrespectful things, I hope that Mr. Su won't take offense. .”

When Su Guo heard this, he ran to his father and protected Su Shi behind him. He glared at the two dogs with split-eyed eyes and shouted, "How dare you, thief! Don't hurt my father!"

Zhang Dun also said angrily: "Chen Gou'er! If you dare to lift a finger, I will risk your life to expose your evil deeds to the world!"

Ergou laughed and said, "How foolish Mr. Zhang is! You have exposed my identity, do you think you can stay out of it? Don't get angry. On the road of impermanence, you should stay with Mr. Su, so as not to be alone!" "

Zhang Dun was shocked and angry when he heard this. He opened his mouth but remained silent. Indeed, since he had revealed Ergou's identity, how could the other party let him go?

Next to him, Zhang Yuan was annoyed. He had some martial arts skills, but he opened his arms to attack Ergou. Ergou stood up, but he slapped his hand back, hitting Zhang Yuan in the face. Then Zhang Yuan fell down as if he was drunk. On the ground, he passed out.

Then Ergou grabbed Su Guo like a chicken and knocked him unconscious with a slap.

There were only two old men left who once dominated the Song Dynasty, but they looked at the two dogs who were about to "act murder" with indifferent expressions, with a hint of sadness in their expressions.

Ergou was not in a hurry to deal with the two of them. He looked around and after confirming that there was no one around, he laughed with Su Zhang and said, "Just now, the young man made nonsense and was disrespectful to the two elders." I hope you two won’t take offense to it!”

Zhang Su and Zhang Su didn't react for a while, they were just stunned for a while, but Zhang Dun frowned and said: "You... you idiot, why don't you act faster! Could it be that you are soft-hearted!"

Ergou smiled and said, "My heart is soft to begin with!"

Su Shi sighed and said, "I've lived in vain, but when I'm old, my descendants will suffer. How sad! Shen'er just does it, I have no complaints!" Ergou laughed and said, "Master Su, I'm here. I am only here to save people, and have no intention of killing. Besides, if I really want to kill people, I shouldn't target you two! As the saying goes, every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner. The chief culprit of the evil plot to kill Mr. Li is the official I am with Cai Jing, I just want to kill people, and he and others should be killed."

As soon as Ergou said these words, Su Shi was still calm, but Zhang Dun's expression changed, and he shouted: "Shut up! Why do you say that you have no king and no father! Even if there is a little dissatisfaction today, but After all, you are the king of a country and the lord of all people, how can you allow yourself to engage in random discussions! Let alone talk about the absurdity of killing the king!"

Ergou sneered: "The official family of the Song Dynasty can be called the king of a country, but it is not the lord of the people! There are tens of millions of people in Northern Liao, Xixia, Annan, Dali, and Tubo, and the official family of Zhao is the lord of them all. Yeah?! He can’t pacify the world and unify the rivers, so how can he dare to claim the title of king? From my perspective, he is just a feudal prince who pretends to be a false king!"

At this time, not only Zhang Dun was furious, but Su Shi could not hold back his anger. He said angrily: "Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the kings of all dynasties have all thought of restoring Yanyun, but the enemy's power is so great that it is difficult to win. Therefore, several generations of British leaders implemented reforms. Repair the government and work hard to become stronger!"

Zhang Dun continued: "Since Zhe Zong came to power, the Song Dynasty has gathered together for ten years, tempered its military strength, and has the potential to unify the world. Unexpectedly, the Song Dynasty lost a heroic leader, and the conquest was temporarily aborted. But After all, the general trend has been achieved, but if you have a little bit of intention to do something now, you can take advantage of the trend and achieve unparalleled achievements!"

But Ergou laughed and said: "Two old men have lived in vain, but they cannot see through the nature of today's Zhao and Song officials. In my opinion, the Zhao officials only cooperated to get a prodigal son, even though Zhe Zong and him left a strong fortune, But I can’t help his corrupt efforts! I’m afraid that the mighty Song Dynasty will be defeated at the hands of this guy!”

In fact, since Zhao Ji ascended the throne, he has performed quite well. He is diligent in government affairs, listens to the advice of ministers and officials, and issues edicts to appease the people and prosper the country. His shortcomings are that he likes to play, is greedy for beauty, and is greedy for the new and dislikes the old. And he's a little bit cautious.

Of course Zhezong was also quite vindictive, but this was not the same thing as Huizong's pettiness.

Because the starting points of the two are different.

If a minister harmed the interests of the Song Dynasty, or hindered the power of the Song Dynasty (reform), it would be inconsistent with Zhezong's values, and Zhezong would deliberately punish this person and bring down the other party.

And if a person offends Zhao Ji and says something bad about him, then no matter how capable the person is and how important he is to the Song Dynasty court, Zhao Ji will retaliate severely.

As long as it makes him happy and comfortable, it doesn't matter if the Song Dynasty suffers!

To put it bluntly, Zhezong believed that the Song Dynasty was more important than him, the emperor, or even anyone else, so even if he faced the temptation of the followers of Qingbao Tianzun, he would rather become sick and die than succumb.

Zhao Ji believed that his emperor was 10,000 times more important than the Song Dynasty, all the people in the world, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.

But Zhao Ji's actions in the past two years, such as working with Zhang Dun and erecting the "Monument to Yuanyou Party Members", have revealed some of his true nature.

Some smart people have already seen it, but they are unwilling to believe it, or deliberately do not say it, or even take advantage of it.

With Zhang Dun's wisdom, how could he not see the true nature of today's officials? Otherwise, how could he have said those words in front of the Empress Dowager: "King Duan is frivolous and cannot rule the world."

It's just that Zhang Dun believed that he and Zhe Zong had left a solid foundation for the Song Dynasty. Even if the Zhao Guan family could be ruined, how could it be ruined!

Therefore, when Ergou said that the Song Dynasty would be defeated at the hands of Zhao Ji, Zhang Dun and Su Shi refused to believe it.

Zhang Dun laughed angrily and said: "I have been on the throne for more than three years now. Although I have not made great achievements for the country, I have done few mistakes! You only saw the officials trying to fiddle with Li Momei, and you falsely said that he was the king who destroyed the country! This statement is too partial. How absurd!"

Ergou pretended to be passionate and said: "The selfish desires of Zhao Guan are too great, and the harm is great! If you don't believe it, just sit and watch the world for twenty years to see its success or failure!"

Zhang Dun and Su Shi looked at each other and smiled, but Su Shi said with a smile: "You kid, you are talking nonsense! I and Zihou are both very old people (Su Shi counts them as young), and they are both half buried in the ground. It is considered lucky to live for two more years." , How dare you say that you have been sitting and watching the world for twenty years?!"

Zhang Dun also smiled and said: "Twenty years later, we will be buried deep in the loess. By then, the success or failure of the Song Dynasty will be up to you."

Ergou pretended to be angry and said: "I am so angry! You two old men should not underestimate me! I will let you see with your own eyes what the world will be like twenty years from now! So that you can be convinced!"

At this point, Ergou paused for a moment, but then said: "I have a life-extending method that can make you two live thirty more years. Do you dare to try it?!"

Su Shi and Zhang Dun looked at each other, but they hesitated.

Zhang Dun said: "In recent years, I have heard a lot about your rebellious behavior in Xiangzhou. I just don't know why you have the nickname [Siming Shenjun]! Do you really have the power to extend life and change people's lives and bones?" able?!"

Ergou sneered and said: "Whether I have the ability to command orders, you will know when you try it. I just ask you if you dare to try it or not?!"

Su Shi clapped his hands and said with a smile: "I feel that the end is approaching! Everyone is dead, so why don't you dare to try! I just wonder what kind of preparation Shen'er needs from me?"

Ergou smiled and said: "But I need my grandfather to fake his death to escape, so as not to let others see into the inside story and cause endless trouble."

"Fake death?" Zhang Dun asked in surprise: "Are you going to make me die first?"

Ergou said with a smile: "I just want to find two dead bodies to pretend to be two people, pretending that they are dead, to confuse the world. Then the two of them can change their appearance, wait for the life extension method to take effect, and start a new life again." "

Zhang Dun frowned and said, "Doesn't everyone in the world think that I am dead and that my former relatives, friends, reputation and status are all gone!"

Ergou said sternly: "In one life, the vegetation and the autumn are all determined by heaven. Now you two have some opportunities. The mortal world is all external to you, how can you have any worries!"

At this point, Ergou suddenly said something out of nowhere: "Mr. Zhang, blessed with talents, has done a great job in making the Song Dynasty prosperous! How can I feel aggrieved after being demoted? I dare to ask old Xianggong, if he can ever control the world again. What do you mean?!"

For political animals, power is the best medicine and life-extending medicine. Zhang Dun has been the prime minister of the Song Dynasty for nearly ten years, how could he be willing to fall into the dust!

It's just that the manpower is not enough, and Emperor Zhezong who believed in him has passed away. If he is entangled with the extremely jealous Jinshang, not to mention himself, even the descendants of the Zhang family will be implicated.

If what Ergou said is true, it can really make Zhang Dun live half a century longer. Then changing his face and making a comeback would be a very exciting trick.

Zhang Dun then composed his mind and said seriously: "Okay! I will believe you for once! I just hope that you can fool me with the big words you never said!"

Ergou said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, please be patient and I will not disappoint you two! I will go and make some preparations. You two will also take this opportunity to write a suicide note, so that your sons will not look for me when they wake up." It’s better to cause trouble!”
