The Jin army besieged the city, and the Song emperor’s daughter died

Chapter 104 Killing Fan Qiong [Please order first]

Zhao Fujin's eyes lit up when he saw the list handed over by Zhang Shuye: "Fan Qiong, are you from Jingdong Road?"

Zhang Shuye muttered in his heart: "It seems that the officials also know this Fan Qiong. Fortunately, his name was not included in the list of people to be killed."

"Does the official know this general?"

Zhao Fujin threw a plum into his mouth, his sore silver teeth softened, and he lowered his head and vomited.

"Bah bah bah..."

"Bah, bah, bah? What do the officials mean?" Zhang Shuye muttered in his heart again.

"I know you, I know you so well." Zhao Fujin wiped his mouth, took out another plum from the jade plate and handed it to Zhang Shuye: "Try it."

Zhang Shuye took the plum and took a bite. His sour face changed, but he did not dare to imitate Zhao Fujin and could only swallow it: "Guanjia...is this list good?"

Zhao Fujin shook his head: "Why don't you kill Fan Qiong?"

Zhang Shuye thought for a moment and truthfully told the reason why he did not kill Fan Qiong.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Fujin's pleasant expression just now suddenly turned serious: "Zhang Shuye, is this what you mean?"

Zhang Shuye was stunned, and quickly bowed and said: "This is what I discussed with Mr. Lao Zhong and the Minister of Zong."

Zhao Fujin snorted coldly: "If you are afraid that Fan Qiong's cavalry army will mutiny, I think the three of you have considered it carefully, but you are actually worried that Li Bangyan will be displeased?"

Zhang Shuye didn't know how to reply for a moment, and could only sigh in his heart: "Li Bangyan's methods almost brought down Cai Jingdu back then. If he offended him, there would be endless troubles."

Seeing that Zhang Shuye didn't answer, Zhao Fujin didn't want to say anything.

Throughout the dynasties, no one who served as an official in the dynasty did not have some small thoughts. Even the loyal and righteous people in later generations had to consider personal gains and losses before taking into account family and country affairs. Warriors are just the best solution to their current situation, and they are just trying to gain a reputation through the ages.

This is human nature, and anyone who cannot bear this is not worthy of being a king at all.

When these three military bosses act, they have to look at the faces of top-level civil servants, fearing that they will wear small shoes in the future. Even if Zhao Fujin scolds them, he can't change anything. All he can do is to let them understand that civil servants should not be afraid. , Li Bangyan should not be afraid, just perform their duties!
Thinking of this, Zhao Fujin picked up the ink pen and drew a cross on Fan Qiong's name: "Let the others go first, let's do it on him!"

Zhang Shuye was shocked: "More than ten thousand troops..."

Zhao Fujin took down the pen in his hand and raised his pretty face, full of arrogance: "I am shocked by this!"

……

……

The next day, the Ministry of War sent an order to all armies and officials to hold a ceremony to ward off evil spirits. The location was southwest of Kaifeng City where Fan Qiong was stationed.

The ritual of exorcising evil spirits is usually held on the Shangsi Festival.

Although it was already March [-]rd, the Ministry of Rites explained that the Jin army was harassing this year, so the festival was not held. The officials visited Taizu in their dreams, but Taizu was displeased, so the officials ordered a replacement.

Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, was very fond of the ritual of exorcism.

It is said that shortly after Taizu conquered the world, he performed rituals to ward off evil spirits on the banks of the Bian River, took off his clothes and went into the water to enjoy himself with the people.When he was resting after landing, he saw Zhenwu Dao in his dream and asked him how long his life would be. Zhenwu said with a smile: "On October 12th this year, if the weather is clear, I will have [-] more years to live."

Of course, everyone knows what happened next. It was sunny at the beginning of October [-]th and snowed at night, so there was an eternal mystery of the shadow of candles and the sound of axes.

Zhao Fujin believes that this is just a rumor, and Zhao Kuangyin simply likes swimming!

This year I did not perform the ritual to ward off evil spirits. It was not because I was busy with state affairs. It was simply because if I had performed the ritual, I would have to swim in the river.

I'm not afraid of swimming, I don't have a swimsuit.

If you wear regular clothes and go into the water, you will be wet and smooth when you get ashore, and you will not be able to keep the officials and people awake all night.shame!
But now, Zhao Fujin has made an agreement with the Supreme Emperor: "It's good for dad to go for a swim."

After going through so many things, Emperor Daojun did not want to accept it. If he went into the water, he would either be haunted by water ghosts, or there would be a sudden rise in the wind, and he might be dead!
Emperor Daojun felt that he was so lucky to be alive to this day.

He just thought for a moment, if he went against the wishes of his filial daughter, Yan would be drowned, but Longde Palace might one day burst into flames without a name.

Between being burned to death and drowning, Emperor Daojun chose the latter. After all, there were so many officials and people watching, and the safety factor was higher: "Win!"

After the ritual of exorcising evil spirits is completed during the day, the sacrificial and feasting activities must be arranged.

"The prime minister gave the government a suggestion to build a new building in order to avoid wasting the people and money. The banquet will be held in the camp. Do you understand this kind of favor?" Li Bangyan blew the tea cup lightly and smiled with special connotation. .

How could Fan Qiong not understand? A stack of banknotes was skillfully stuffed into Li Bangyan's sleeve: "Thank you, Prime Minister, for taking care of me. I will be grateful in the end."

Li Bangyan didn't even make a move to evade, he took a sip of the fine Yuqian Longjing, smacked his mouth and said: "Fan Qiong, Fan Qiong, you are handsome. If you dress up properly that day, you might have a great opportunity. That’s all for the truth, you can figure it out for yourself.”

After saying that, Li Bangyan stood up to see off the guests.

……

……

Two days later, Emperor Daojun was struck by the current and felt uneasy.

I only swam half a circle and hurried ashore.

After landing on the shore, I felt that I had lived for one more day. I thought that I had misunderstood my precious daughter again, and I felt a little ashamed. After waving to the officials and people on the bank of the Bian River, I got into the carriage and said, "Go back to the palace, return to the palace."

In accordance with the arrangements of the Ministry of Etiquette, the ladies from the Jiaofang Division entered Fan Qiong's military camp early, tuned the strings, tried out the sound, and stretched their shoulders and legs.

When night fell, all the generals who were garrisoning Kaifeng had already entered the banquet and sat in groups according to their military positions. Because there was a banquet in Fan Qiong's camp, Fan Qiong, the head of the family, sat at a seat closer to the front along with Li Bangyan. .

Li Bangyan was a little puzzled. All the military generals came, but no civil servants came except himself.

While he was muttering, he saw Zhao Fujin striding in dressed in military uniform.

This is the second time that officials do not wear court clothes but military uniforms. The last time was when they bullied Wanyan Zongwang.

All the generals looked sideways, and saw Zhao Fujin's eyes as cold as stars, his eyebrows as far away as black daisy, and his slender figure in a military uniform that made him look dashing and heroic. With such demeanor, such bearing, and such appearance, how could these military generals who have been stationed outside all year round have ever I have seen it, some swallowed for a while, some were too scared to look directly, and some felt their hearts sinking and secretly vowed to shed their blood for the official family.

It was also the first time for Fan Qiong to see the official family, and his hands were trembling nervously.

When Zhao Fujin sat down, he glanced around the generals. His face, which had been cold just now, suddenly burst into a smile, as warm as the spring night wind: "Thank you for your hard work, generals."

"I've seen the officials." Everyone stood up and bowed to say hello.

Zhao Fujin looked at Li Bangyan with a smile, and then at Fan Qiong beside him: "This is...why have I never seen him before?"

Li Bangyan quickly smiled and said: "Back to the official house, Fan Qiong is in charge of the horse army on Jingdong Road."

Zhao Fujin looked at Fan Qiong's attire. He was not wearing a military uniform. Instead, he was wearing Confucian clothes, a Confucian crown, and a big flower hanging on his bun. It was the standard dress of the trendy yamen in Kaifeng City, so he nodded with a smile. : "Enter the feast, enter the feast."

"I heard that the generals have been coveting the little ladies of the Jiaofang Division for a long time. I will call them here today to cheer up the generals!"

After saying that, he nodded slightly, and the sound of drumming started louder.

But the melody and lyrics are so strange: "Every soldier of the Song Dynasty must remember the three major disciplines and eight points of attention. First, follow the command in all actions, and only by working in unison can victory be achieved..."
