Reborn Wu Dalang

Chapter 190

------------

"Brother, am I right? The defenders on the city wall have escaped?" Zhang Xian followed behind Yue Fei, asking in disbelief.

"I'm not mistaken, it's true." Yue Fei also said in a daze.

To be honest, both of them were stunned.They knew that Bianliang's imperial army was very weak, but they didn't expect it to be so "weak".Even this is no longer "weak", it simply has no combat power.They hadn't even heard of such a thing - the enemy army just shot an arrow below, without shooting a single person, the defenders were all scared away!

If Yue Fei had a ladder beside him, he could lead his soldiers to attack Bianliang City now.Or Yue Fei can order the soldiers to form a "human ladder", and the people on the top step on the shoulders of the bottom, and go up layer by layer, and they can also enter Bianliang City.In history, although it is rare to form a human ladder to attack a city, it is not uncommon.Like the current situation in Bianliang City, there will be no problem in forming a human ladder to attack the city.

Of course, Yue Fei just wanted to harass this place, not really attack Bianliang City.

Yang Lin and Lu Fang were also stunned. They followed Yue Fei to Bianliang this time. They thought they would go through a hard battle, and they might even have a narrow escape. After all, the number of forbidden troops in Bianliang City reached 80.But looking at the current appearance of the forbidden army in Bianliang City, they don't have the slightest combat effectiveness at all.If all the imperial guards were like this, then the mission this time was almost equivalent to an outing, and there would be no danger.

Both Yang Lin and Lu Fang couldn't help laughing, and the Liangshan soldiers beside them also laughed.

"Brother, I think we can attack the city directly!" Zhang Xian laughed.

"There is no need to attack the city, we can go around the city once." Yue Fei said.

At present, Yue Fei galloped under the city of Bianliang with his soldiers and horses. Wherever he went, the forbidden troops on the city wall dodged one after another.Sometimes, after a shot of arrows, all the forbidden soldiers disappeared, and sometimes, before they arrived, the forbidden soldiers on the city wall had already avoided the sound of horseshoes.

In this way, Yue Fei walked around the city with his soldiers and horses for two hours without encountering any resistance.

"I will lead a thousand soldiers and horses, Zhang Xian and you will also lead a thousand soldiers and horses, Yang Lin and Lu Fang will also lead a thousand soldiers and horses each, everyone will act separately, just don't go too far away." Yue Fei thought for a while, and issued the following order The command.

At this moment, in Bianliang City, there is already a piece of Huluan.

The people on the street were running around, some were looking for their relatives, some were looking for friends, and they wanted to call these people home.Right now, it is safer to stay at home.

The officials of the imperial court headed towards the palace one after another. They wanted to know how His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness the Prince would handle this matter.The enemy army has already arrived outside the city. If the enemy army is not driven away, everyone's life is in danger.

And in the palace, those eunuchs and maids are also in a mess. Some eunuchs and maids have already changed their clothes and are ready to leave the palace at any time.

"Where's His Royal Highness?" At this moment, an official in his 70s entered the palace. Seeing this official, the eunuchs and maids kowtowed.

This official is the leader of the ministers, Cai Jing, the grand master of the dynasty.

Cai Jing headed towards the East Palace under the leadership of several eunuchs. When he arrived at the East Palace, he found Prince Zhao Huanduan sitting at the top, and countless ministers had already arrived below.

"His Royal Highness, the enemy army is just outside the city, and the enemy army must be driven away now!" After Cai Jing entered the main hall of the East Palace, he did not salute at all, but asked directly.

Some time ago, because of the fake messenger, Song Huizong fainted, and then let the crown prince Zhao Huan supervise the country, so now it is Zhao Huan who handles everything in name.

But in fact, Zhao Huan was in name only and had no rights at all.The real power is still in the hands of Cai Jing, Gao Qiu, Yang Jian and others. These people have to visit Emperor Zhao Ji every day and tell Zhao Ji all the important events.If Liangshan soldiers and horses hadn't attacked the city this time, Cai Jing and others would never have come to the East Palace.

"Such a big matter cannot be handled by a mere crown prince like me. If you go to the harem to ask your father to see you, he must have a plan in mind." Zhao Huan said calmly.

"Your Highness, it's not like you don't know about His Majesty's poor health. He asked you to supervise the country, so you should handle this matter!" Cai Jing said pretending to be painstaking.

"Hmph! What prison country? What prince? Does one of you regard me as a prince? Does anyone regard me as a prison country?" Zhao Huan suddenly became angry, pointed at Cai Jing below, and then pointed at Gao Qiu and others , shouted angrily: "I know your thoughts, you have never regarded me as a prince in your heart. Father likes Zhao Kai, so you all think that he must be a prince in the future, and my prince is only temporary? Isn't it?"

When Zhao Huan suddenly said such a sentence, the ministers below were all stunned.

In fact, this is also a recognized event in the late Northern Song Dynasty. Everyone knew that Zhao Huan did not like Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji intended to abolish Zhao Huan and make Zhao Kai the prince.Therefore, all the time, the officials have not respected Zhao Huan enough.Even if Zhao Huan supervised the country, not many people came to visit him and asked Zhao Huan to handle specific affairs.

In the original history, if it weren't for the invasion of Jin soldiers, Zhao Gou hurriedly gave up the position of emperor to Zhao Huan, I am afraid that Zhao Huan would never be the emperor.Of course, even if Zhao Huan became the emperor, he would still be the last king. He was captured by the nv real person and died of humiliation.

These days, Zhao Huan has had enough.He knew why Cai Jing and others came to him today, it must be because his father was too frightened and unable to handle this matter, so he handed it over to him.He didn't want to do it now either. After saying these words, he stood up abruptly, looked at the ministers below with a sneer, and walked away.

After Zhao Huan left, the ministers were all stunned. After a while, a middle-aged official in his thirties stood up and said, "Lord Cai, let's go see His Majesty the Emperor."

Cai Jing glanced at the minister and said, "Your Majesty is indeed in poor health, so we should not bother him anymore?"

The 30-year-old middle-aged official also became angry, and said: "Master Cai, do you think we don't know? His Majesty has already recovered, and you have been begging to see His Majesty every day! You must have seen His Majesty first today." Come see the prince again! The enemy army is outside the city, and Bianliang City is at stake. If His Majesty does not come to handle affairs at such a moment, who will handle it? If you don’t want to go, I will take all the ministers to meet His Majesty!"

Cai Jing froze there, and said, "This..."

Before he finished speaking, the middle-aged official had already strode outside, and the rest of the ministers followed the official, Cai Jing, Gao Qiu and others hurriedly followed.

"This damn Qin Hui!" Cai Jing cursed secretly.

The middle-aged official in his 30s was none other than Qin Hui, a well-known traitor in later generations, but at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Qin Hui was still a well-known upright official in the world.He is very knowledgeable and has a great reputation, so he became the teacher of Taixue when he was in his 20s.Taixue is the highest institution of higher education in the country, almost equivalent to the combination of Tsinghua University, Peking University, and Central University. Many officials are selected from among the students of Taixue.Qin Hui was able to become Taixue Xuezheng in his 20s, which is evident from his knowledge.After reaching the age of 30, he became Yushi Zhongcheng, which is the official position that Bao Zheng once held.After becoming Yushi Zhongcheng, he can even supervise and impeach all officials. He has truly become the leader of speech officials and can compete with Cai Jing and others to a certain extent.

Later, when the Nv Zhenren invaded, Qin Hui resolutely disagreed with the cession of land for peace, so he had a higher status in the hearts of Song people.Qin Hui's change was after he returned from the Kingdom of Jin. He changed from an anti-war faction to a surrender faction, from an upright official to a traitor.

Now Qin Hui strode towards the harem with countless ministers following him.These ministers all regarded Qin Hui as the leader, and they looked at Cai Jing, Gao Qiu and others quite unkindly.

The harem was completely empty, and no one stopped Qin Hui and the others. After a quarter of an hour, they came to the entrance of a palace behind, and saw a few Taoist priests standing at the entrance of the palace.The Taoist priests were surprised to see so many ministers coming, and two Taoist priests reached out to intercept them, saying: "Your Majesty is cleaning up inside, you must not enter."

Qin Hui was furious, and said, "What time is it now? The enemy army is besieging Bianliang, and our lives are in danger, and the Song Dynasty is also besieged! At such a time, His Majesty is still in the Qing Dynasty?"

He stretched out his hand suddenly and pushed the two Taoist priests to the ground, then strode into the palace, and the rest of the ministers followed him into the palace.

Inside the palace was smoky, and the majestic Song Emperor Zhao Ji was actually wearing Taoist clothes. He sat cross-legged on the ground, with a pill furnace in front of his eyes, his eyes slightly closed, and his mind drifted away.

"Your Majesty, the enemy army is attacking the city. What should we do now? Please give your Majesty an order!" Qin Hui strode up to Zhao Huan, knelt down, and shouted loudly.

Countless ministers in the back knelt down, and Cai Jing and Gao Qiu had to follow suit.

Zhao Ji opened his eyes, looked at Qin Hui in front of him, and then saw the officials behind him. He was startled at first, and then said angrily, "Didn't I say that? The crown prince will handle everything. Why are you bothering?" I?"

Qin Hui said: "Your Majesty, the crown prince is too young to deal with such an important matter. Now that your majesty is in good health, why hide here? Please make a decision early!"

Zhao Ji was ashamed and angry, and stood up.The reason why he hides here these days is mainly because the matter of the fake messenger is too embarrassing. He can't face the officials and is afraid of being questioned by them. a slap.

Now he was walking around in the palace, thinking of the situation outside, he was sweating profusely, and said: "How many people are there in the enemy army? Where is the enemy army?"

Cai Jing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it seems that there are only more than ten thousand people. Yesterday, Sun Zhaoyuan, who stayed behind in Luoyang, wrote a letter saying that the bandits from the east of the river were passing through the border. We thought they were going back to the east of the river, but we didn't expect them to come to Bianliang. The minister was not on guard , really deserve death.”

Zhao Ji said: "I can't blame you for this matter! It turns out that there are only more than 80 people, that's not worth mentioning. Don't we have [-] forbidden troops in Bianliang? Gao Qiu, you are the Taiwei of the Palace Commander's Mansion, and all the forbidden troops are under your control , you lead the troops to fight now!"

Gao Qiu was stunned when he heard this.It is true that he is a Taiwei, and he is indeed in charge of 80 imperial troops.But he, the captain, is good for nothing except to please the emperor and play football.He doesn't understand military affairs at all, and he doesn't have martial arts skills. How can he lead troops to fight?

At that moment Gao Qiu begged hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that I can't drive away the bandits in Liangshan, so I ask Your Majesty to appoint talents!"

Zhao Ji snorted coldly and said: "You are a captain. If you don't lead the army, who will lead the army? Well, this matter is settled like this. You are limited to one hour to lead the army. If you are still in the city Here, I'll throw you out of town!"

Zhao Ji hates Gao Qiu very much now, mainly because Gao Qiu exposed the matter of Gao Li's fake messenger, which made him lose a lot of face, so this time he wants to drive Gao Qiu to the front of the line of fire and let Gao Qiu face it. Life is in danger.
