This mountain is mine

Chapter 226

Song Huai’s report said, “The refugees recruited from the various prefectures are not like farmers at all, they are very brave, even better than the defenders of Qinzhou before. After investigation by officials, it turned out that most of them were the old troops of Zhao Man. Submit a number of confessions, the deposed king Zhao Man intends to hide these fake refugees and real soldiers in the army and control the military power."

Before the newly recruited soldiers arrived in Qinzhou, the Song army suffered several defeats.

Song Huai has also led the army for many years, so it is not likely that he will not know how to fight, but because he was formerly a member of Qin Zhen's remnant, he was also dismissed when he took office in Qinzhou. He has a fiery personality, is very jealous of evil, and has made many enemies.

Song Huai's time with Qinzhou soldiers is still short, and these people have not been completely recovered. In addition, there are several lieutenants who make things difficult for him, so it is not easy in the army.

The generals are at odds. The soldiers and horses of Qinzhou have been stationed here for many years, and the small tribes in Tubo are not well established. There have been no troubles before, so these soldiers and horses have never fought at all, and they have no combat effectiveness, so they are defeated repeatedly.

It was only when new recruits were recruited that they turned the situation around and won several victories, holding back the Tubo Prime Minister Li Lizun's manpower, giving Zong Siluo a chance to take a breather, and turned himself into the master of the house.

The emperor was so angry that he broke an inkstone. Thinking of the 5 people who had disappeared, they believed more than half of what was reported in this memorial.

How can 5 people disappear out of thin air?

It would be a good idea to hide among the refugees.

When he saw the phrase "use the opportunity of the blood moon to instigate trouble", the word blood moon directly poked his nerves, and he believed it without any doubt.

"I have been under the command of General Qin for many years, and I also grew up watching the deposed king. Although I feel sorry for what he did, but he never changed after repeated admonitions. His Majesty has given him a chance, and he repeats the old tricks. I can't ignore the relationship between the monarch and his ministers because of this. , to expose it boldly."

Song Huai knelt down on the ground, not daring to look at the emperor Wu Qing's face.

The emperor lost his temper, so he said: "Get up!"

Song Huai got up tremblingly, bowed his head and waited, not daring to peek at the sky.

But the emperor gritted his teeth again and said, "He's really good at turning the rebels into defenders right under his nose!"

Having said that, I became suspicious in my heart. Someone must have helped Zhao Man. I reprimanded the prince a while ago, but the prince is a lot more honest. He only helped resettle the refugees, resettle the refugees...

Thinking of the prince, the emperor snorted coldly in his heart, the seeds of doubt were fermenting.

He waved his hand gloomyly, telling Song Huai to leave.

When Song Huai walked out of the main hall, his whole body relaxed and he felt refreshed. He probably earned it from the Dragon Kung Fu.

After Song Huai left, the emperor was silent for a long time, and then turned his eyes to the memorial to arrange the Qinzhou defenders, written by the crown prince:

"...except for the fixed defenders, the rest of the soldiers and horses were recalled, and some wounded, disabled, and old people were given copper coins and sent back to their original places to show the emperor's kindness...there are more than 3000 people who have contributed to killing the enemy. To replace the border bosses in the city defense forces, Fangling and Bozhou can each allocate 5000 to [-] people as appropriate, one will guard Fangling according to the ancestral system, and the other will prevent Bozhou from changing..."

In addition, there are two words annotated by the emperor himself with a vermilion pen: "Zunzuo".

At this time, the emperor didn't think about it, he was the one who asked the prince to deal with the refugees, he just thought, if these rebels were really allowed to mix into the barracks and stay in Bozhou and Fangling, wouldn't it mean that all the rebels would become regular troops , for others to use openly?
Thinking of this, the emperor was furious but also afraid for a while, then can he still sit firmly in this country?
Looking at the two characters in scarlet red, he was even more furious. If Song Huai hadn't played it, he would have been kept in the dark. He knew Zhao Man's fate in his mind, so he gave him a glass of poisoned wine and it was over. up.Thinking of this, he immediately took up his pen and wrote an imperial edict to kill Zhao Man.

After finishing writing, I began to think about the prince again. After much deliberation, there was only one conclusion, this prince...has a big heart!

After a hundred years, the throne was originally reserved for him, so he couldn't sit still anymore.

Although there is no conclusive evidence, the emperor became suspicious and couldn't sit still. He immediately ordered his attendants to tell the prince to get out of here. : "In the future, you don't have to go to court, and you can just meditate on your past in the palace."

The prince, who had been silent for a long time, knelt on the ground and cried: "Father, my son was wronged..." Seeing that the emperor was about to get angry again, he hurriedly said: "My son originally cared about the brotherhood between Nian and my eighth younger brother. , did not want to be so decisive, the eighth brother actually thought of taking the lives of [-] soldiers..."

The emperor stared at him dissatisfied, and he didn't say much, and then he took out a few letters from his arms, and lowered his head to submit them.

The emperor took it and looked at it. His complexion has changed a few times while reading the letter.

The prince knelt for a while, guessing that the emperor had almost digested it, and then said: "Father is not happy, and my ministers have to defend themselves. It is the responsibility of the government offices of the states to recruit refugees. There is no way to make all the civil and military officials in the 37 counties of the four roads and six prefectures speak for my ministers, and my ministers implore these local officials to be summoned to Beijing to confront them."

The emperor remained silent, and glanced at the letter paper in his hand. It was a letter from King Cheng Zhao Yu to Song Huai. It was written in a very cryptic manner. , What did he, a prince, write to the border general, and he still needs to use his private seal?

Did Song Huai send this memorial after receiving this letter?
The emperor couldn't bear to think too much, "What is written on it?"

The prince is not crying or complaining anymore. Originally, he came to fight a prepared battle, and any crying is just pretending. At this time, he is very calm, still put on a sad posture, and said: "This letter is The servant got it by accident, the general of Qinzhou went to the city to listen to the reward, and the servant was responsible for the safety of the city. There was a young man who caused trouble, and the guards reported it to the imperial army. After the commander of the horse army checked it, he found out that this son turned out to be Song Huai's prostitute, unwilling to be humiliated. I stole the letter and came out with the letter's art of war, maybe there is some mystery in it, the son-in-law didn't have time to try it, so he reported it to the emperor, and wanted to give the eighth brother a chance."

What Zhao Chi said was half-truth and half-false, which actually caused him to be deceived by many truths.

However, Song Huai's masculinity is not a secret in the army, and it is easy to find out.

The emperor twitched his eyebrows when he heard the words, "You should figure out the contents of this letter."

Zhao Chi responded, took the letter, and then the emperor let him go.

Zhao Chi came out of the hall, looking at the night sky, he suddenly showed a sneer, but he quickly disappeared, thinking to himself, "I'm waiting for you to jump up, I can't kill you this time."

In fact, he has figured out the content of this letter long ago, but he didn't want the emperor to think that he was prepared. His father valued "benevolence" and "filial piety" and brotherly love the most. The father and emperor followed suit.

At this time, King Cheng was secretly summoning Song Huai, and he finished speaking quickly in a few words, and each left.

King Cheng thought, without definite evidence, it is impossible to abolish the crown prince, but once the emperor becomes suspicious and Zhao Chi is rejected, then more than half of the success will be achieved. As for finding Zhao Chi's fault, it is not too difficult ,There is ample time.

Also, although Song Huai has helped a lot in this matter, but he is not righteous, and he actually wants to get rid of the dragon's work, so he has to get rid of it as soon as possible to avoid future troubles.

As for Song Huai, he thought, this son is too proud and self-willed, obviously he doesn't take himself seriously, but he still has his handle in his hand, if he wants to kill the donkey, he will be buried with him.

Thinking of those handles, he felt a little more at ease, sewn into his armor, very concealed, and would not be discovered by anyone, but when he thought of the young boy Ji Xun who disappeared in the barracks, he was a little uneasy, his eyelids twitched, these few days Tian was so busy rushing to Bianjing that he didn't have time to take care of other things... I'd better go back and look at the inner layer of the armor.

On the second day, Song Huai played again: "The deposed king Zhao Man ordered the rebels to enter the camp with evil intentions..."

As soon as he got up, he was suppressed by the prince.

Afterwards, the prince attacked King Cheng on the spot in the court hall.

"Exchanging private letters with the border guards and forming a party for private reasons is disloyalty and filial piety."

"It's disrespectful to frame a brother."

"Ordering Song Huai to turn more than [-] militiamen into rebels, disregarding the lives of the soldiers, is inhumane."

"..."

Wang Guanren, the prime minister of the left, also called out his grievances for his stupid son Wang Lang in the court, "Although this rebellious son is stupid, he will never listen to the words of the abolished king, so he recruited rebels into the army to act as a refugee. He..."

What Wang Guanren was talking about was snot and tears, and his voice was full of emotion. Although Wang Lang's talent is not as good as Fang Shi's Jinshi and Tanhualang, he was born as a Jinshi at a young age, and although his writing and ink are not as good as It is convenient, but the economic way is good.

Although Wang Lang has a good official reputation in the past few years, he has repeatedly offended his superiors because of his upright personality. Otherwise, with his background and achievements, even if his road to becoming an official cannot be compared with Fang Shi's, he won't be one from the third rank and the other from the seventh rank. Petty officer, such a big gap.

Wang Lang is well-known for his straightness in the officialdom. Since he became an official, that is, in the past six months, he has been able to get along well with Liu Tingzhou, who has kept up with Feng Shua.

The emperor also knew about it. Only then did he realize that Wang Lang was watching Fangling. If he didn't believe in others, he should believe in Wang Lang.

As soon as Prime Minister Zuo opened his mouth, many people echoed him. The 37 counties in Silu, a drought-stricken area, also had many rich places in the past. Stupid, but not disloyal to the emperor, besides, refugees and soldiers can still be distinguished."

There was even an old minister crying and fainted on the court.

These literati didn't want to interfere in the fight between the crown prince and King Cheng. Who knows if they have any back-ups. They just complained for their own nephew. The literati cried and cursed.

On the first day, King Cheng refused to admit to the letter with the private seal, and in the end he only pushed one of his attendants out, saying that the seal had been lost long ago, it was fabricated, and what Song Huai said was not at his behest.

Losing such an important private seal, and it has been a long time, but not reporting to re-engraving the seal is also a serious crime, but it is better than forming a party for personal gain. This excuse depends on whether the listener believes it or not.

Song Huai also refused to admit that these letters were written to him. What he said was also witnessed by people and testimonies, and it was not false. His testimony and testimony were submitted to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for trial.

On the second day, the court hall was the same as the vegetable market, but the crown prince accused that "the guard of Qinzhou is not as good as the militiamen. Both Man and Zhao Yu's mothers are from the Su family..."

So it was a war of words.

On the third day, the crown prince forcefully pointed out that Zhao Man's former army was in the Qinzhou army, and there were witnesses, so he still submitted it to the Ministry of Punishment for trial.

For several days in a row, the prince won a complete victory. King Cheng was powerless to fight, but he was still able to hold on.

The Bianjing Chaotang was noisy, and people from all sides appeared on the stage one after another, and then entered a stalemate.

On the eighth day, the Yan family of the Yu family received half of the evidence of the Yu family's injustice sent by Zhao Man. The letters that Li Yi handed in and obtained from General Liao about Song Huai's denunciation, and the other half were Xiao Ta's cooperation with Song Huai. The document that fabricated evidence against Yu Zhaoming was in Yang Hao's hands.

These letters were all 16 years ago. Before each battle, the main generals and generals of the Song Army will discuss countermeasures together. Among them, the battle of Qigou Pass, the Song Army was defeated, and tens of thousands of troops were lost. This battle was Yu Zhaoming's reminder Fu, there is Song Huai's informant letter at this time, which can be used as evidence that Song Huai is collaborating with the enemy.

Afterwards, after thinking about it several times, the Yan family entrusted the evidence in their hands to the prince.

The court in Bianjing was in turmoil, so Yang Hao chose to wait and see.

The prince got this letter and discussed it with his staff, and mentioned it vaguely in the court, which caused an uproar in the court.

Someone again brought up Qin Zhen's request to reiterate the case of the Yu family at the end of last year.The Yu family had countless disciples in the past, and now they are old and dying, but there are always a few who can still talk, and if they can't talk, they can submit a memorial.

For some reason, this news spread from the court to the common people, and because of the blood moon incident, some interested people linked the blood moon and the grievances of the Yu family together.

And this emperor is indeed very benevolent. He watched his sons jumping and the courtiers fighting with cold eyes.

Now that the affairs of the Yu family are raging, it is time to grab the emperor's pigtails. His face has never looked better, and a thought flashed through the emperor's mind. Could it be that the blood moon incident should be on this?The lack of righteousness is because he wronged the Yu family?Is this the will of God?But this thought dissipated in an instant, he is the emperor, even if he is wrong, he is right.

It's just that the emperor was very dissatisfied with the Yu family's move. The sympathy given by Xiangrui before has disappeared. After arguing for so long, the emperor was dissatisfied with the two sons he liked the most before, but the most resentful, It was the Yu family. The emperor had determined that it was the Yu family who had spread the news about the relationship between the Yu family and Blood Moon. The attempt to use public opinion had already reached its bottom line.

Public opinion can only be used by himself, but not by others!
In fact, not only the emperor, but even the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty admired the female family members of the Yu family. Such persecution will not work.

Everyone guessed what the emperor was thinking, and kept silent about Yu's family since then, but the strife in the court could not be stopped. The dispute between the crown prince and King Cheng became fierce, and it had already been torn apart, to the point of life and death.The crown prince was in a winning position, and he took advantage of the victory to pursue the attack. The Chengwang family tried their best to fight back and broke the boat.

From time to time, some people were demoted and some were beheaded.

More than half of September was over, Tian Qing entered the capital without a sound, and Bianjing was full of storms, he was a small person, so no one paid attention to him.

Afterwards, Tian Qing went directly to the Ministry of Punishments in the name of imparting Fang Ling's close official documents, and told him everything that King Cheng had ordered him, and left a statement.

It turned out that King Cheng disregarded the lives of refugees, Tian Qing told Zhao Man early on, seeing that Zhao Man was calm and calm, and did not panic, Tian Qing expected that King Cheng would be defeated, so naturally he had already planned it, after much deliberation, the clan was in a good mood discuss.In the end, he reported to Wang Lang with the secret letter that King Cheng had given him.

He explained to Wang Lang that when he entered Beijing in April, when he was inquiring about the origin of the handkerchief, King Cheng approached him, and then learned that he was in the same village as Zhao Man, and wanted him to be an eyeliner. He turned the refugees into "rebels" and made Tian's family rich and prosperous. He was worried that Tian Qing, a small official, would not be able to get things done, and asked his staff to tell him what to do.

Not to mention how frightened and angry Wang Lang was when he heard the words, he has always taken it as his duty to "love the people like his own son". He gritted his teeth with hatred for King Cheng's attempt to murder tens of thousands of refugees for his own benefit, and was glad that Tian Qing was not fascinated by wealth After a while, now he took the initiative to confess that he hadn't done anything wrong. After beating him, Tian Qing was full of remorse and wept bitterly.

Hearing that there were incidents involving King Cheng, refugees, and rebels in Bianjing, he wrote the letter and asked Tian Qing to go to Bianjing to testify, Tian Qing naturally did not dare to delay.

Worried that Tian Qing's road would be blocked, Wang Lang went up to play Liu Tingzhou. After Liu Tingzhou learned the inside story, he was shocked for a while. In the name of urgent case reports, he went directly to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to confess.

Tian Qing's confession made another contribution to King Cheng's situation as if he was facing an abyss.

Originally, Tian Qing was the witness, and the one who testified was the prince, so he couldn't get away easily, but before he entered the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he actually revealed the emperor's list of praying for rain at the gate of the city that had been neglected for a long time.

The news of the unveiling of the list has already been spread into the palace, and the blood moon and the imperial court have quarreled, which has caused the people in Bianjing to fluctuate a long time ago.

When the emperor was upset and despondent, he heard that someone had revealed the imperial list, so he summoned him in a hurry. What the emperor needs most now is a rain in the dry land. With this rain, there will be another excuse for the blood moon disaster. It can also be eliminated.

The emperor summoned Tian Qing, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice dared not let him go. Now Tian Qing and Bai Ding faced the saint directly.

Tian Qing knelt down on the ground, slightly trembling but firmly said: "The emperor can pray for the rain for the people, and there will be rain in Bianjing and Huainan tonight."

Hearing this, the emperor only looked at Tian Qing with a sullen face, and didn't speak to him, but asked his attendants to declare the young prisoner Si Tianjian whom he had forgotten for a long time.

Tian Qing knelt on the ground, not daring to move.

All he could see was the red lichens on the ground in the palace. The lichens were intricately embroidered with gold and silver threads. He felt as if his knees didn’t hurt when he knelt on them. , are better than the materials that Liushu Tuntian's family can produce.

After the attendants left, the emperor asked Tian Qing: "Do you know what you said, if praying for rain fails, I can kill you directly!"

From an angle that the emperor couldn't see, a flash of determination flashed across Tian Qing's face, "The grass people dare not speak nonsense, if it doesn't rain tonight, the grass people are willing to suffer death."

When Tian Qing said this, the sweat on his face kept slipping down, but it just got into the red lichen, and quickly disappeared, leaving only a darker pool of traces.

According to his thinking, the emperor asked for rain in person. Even if it didn't rain tonight, it would be for the sake of the people if the news spread, and there would be no loss, but he would die because of the rain.There is indeed no fairness in this world.

"What's the use of you being dead?" the emperor scolded.Is it easy for an emperor to pray for rain?If there is still no rain for a long time after praying, it doesn't mean that he is useless as an emperor!Lost face.

When Tian Qing heard this, his mind was a little empty, and he only said the words that he had silently recited in his heart countless times.

"Recently, Bianjing has been blowing east winds for five consecutive days. Fangling and Jinghu South Road are also continuous east winds. In the past, there were seven or eight days of east winds every year. It will rain at this time. Although Bianjing is sunny today, the clouds are dense and the clouds Moving westward, it's all a harbinger of rain."

After Tian Qing finished speaking, she pursed her lips quietly, her palms were covered with sweat.He didn't know what he said, it seemed that he had finished speaking, and it seemed that he hadn't finished.

These are what Yu Miaomiao taught him.What Yu Miaomiao said is of course far more than that, and there is also "water vapor gathers to form clouds, and when clouds rise and become cold, it turns into rain and falls. Bianjing, Huainan and further east are Jiangnan. If it blows over, the clouds will be dense and it may rain."

"As the saying goes, 'Cotton cloud, rain is coming' These are all signs of rain."

"If the cloud goes east, there will be a gust of wind; if the cloud goes west, it's not unreasonable to wear a coir raincoat. If the cloud goes west, it means that the area is in front of the low pressure, and the local area will rain because of the low pressure."

Tian Qing didn't understand cotton clouds, low pressure and high pressure, but he knew that swallows flying low, frogs chirping, ants moving, and earthworms coming out of their holes were all signs of rain.

He drove fast, and never stopped except changing horses at the post station. The only thing he cared about was the weather. He didn't see any swallows, ants, or earthworms that he knew, but Yu Miaomiao corresponded to everything he said. He was a cautious man. People, but I don't know why, but I believe what Yu Miaomiao said, and even risk my life to block it.

Tian Qing thought desperately, if you don't succeed, you will be benevolent. Anyway, he is just a humble life, and he has nothing to lose.

In his capacity, if he wanted to lead the clansmen to gain a foothold in Bianjing, no matter how hard-working and diligent he was, it would be impossible in his life.Now is his chance, and if he succeeds, he will take a big step.

Although Tian Qing didn't remember what he said, in fact he spoke very fluently, and he was sure when the emperor stopped.

At this time, the emperor asked: "You are young, can you observe the sky?"

Tian Qing was about to reply, "Caomin..."

But when the attendant reported that the young supervisor Si Tianjian had arrived, the emperor called him in directly.

Although the young prisoner rushed over and was sweating profusely, his expression was somewhat relaxed. If you looked closely, you would find that there was some joy in his eyes.

The emperor asked when it would rain, but this time the young supervisor of Si Tianjian answered briskly: "Tonight is the soonest, and tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at the slowest." Finally, it will rain, and they also let out a sigh of relief.

Si Tianjian's answer was not sure. This is also a strict official. If it doesn't rain tonight, it won't rain tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow.Who can be absolutely sure about the weather?

The emperor sneered when he heard the words, obviously already well aware of the temperament of these officials, and said directly: "I want to pray for rain in person, the Ministry of Rites and the Sitian Supervisor are preparing to pray for rain, and within two hours, I will go to the platform."

This platform was built on the emperor's birthday for him to pray for immortality, and now it is directly used as a platform for praying for rain.

Said and glanced at Tian Qing, "What's your name?"

Tian Qing hurriedly explained, and the emperor said again: "You follow me to the platform."

Si Tianjian's joy just now was wiped away, and he felt a little uneasy, so he heard the emperor say: "Tian Qing said that it will rain tonight, what do you think?"

The young prisoner was taken aback for a moment, glanced quietly at Tian Qing, and quickly came back to his senses, "I intend to meet the emperor tomorrow morning..."

"That's all." The emperor interrupted directly.

In the Xu Dynasty, the emperor and all his officials prayed for rain on the Lanyue platform.

On the third day, I received an urgent report that rain had fallen from the sky on Huainan Road and Jinghu Road. The time of rain was a little earlier, but for the emperor's pleasure, the time was slightly changed.

When the news came, the emperor couldn't help but be overjoyed. The previous doubts about whether he was unfair to cause the blood moon had disappeared. The four droughts had benefited both of them as soon as he prayed for rain. To alleviate the drought, he was emperor.

Tian Qing caught the emperor's eyes because of his merits of praying for rain. Originally, the emperor wanted him to be appointed as the Si Tianjian, but he tactfully postponed it. Those celestial events were just because he paid more attention to them in the past, and the folks Proverbs introduced, do not understand.

He also confessed to the emperor his identity and the reason for coming to Bianjing.

After thinking about it, the emperor directly sent him to the Wu De Division, but Tian Qing hesitated before saying, "President Cheng may have entered the Wu De Division as a captain of Zhenwei..."

The emperor's face darkened immediately, all the Wu Desi were his cronies, they existed like a secret service department, secretly monitoring all officials, this old eighth could casually agree to a sixth-rank Captain Zhenwei!Even more disgusted with King Cheng.

I made up my mind that Wu Desi had to be cleaned.

Originally, the emperor planned that the blood moon event would be over, open Enke, exempt from taxes, appease the people, and recruit students from poor families to enter the court.

Now seeing that Tian Qing has a simple and honest face, he has no background, is not attached to anyone in the court, and has a clean family background, unlike this family, the relationships behind him are all intricate.

Well, after the meritorious service of the founding of the country, he is still his own lucky star, sending such a great thing as praying for rain... Tian Qing's martial arts has been tested, which is also good. During this time, there are people trying to court him, but he also refused .

What a good child, they are all like him, so he has to save a lot of worry, this honest and easy-to-handle Tian Qing directly meets the emperor's wishes.The emperor pondered in his mind, he had already made arrangements for him, it was just right for such a person to enter the Wu De Division.

Not everyone has Tian Qing's good luck.

Entering October, the court battle gradually came to fruition. Most of Cheng Wang's party members had been cut off. As for Cheng Wang, he was directly demoted from prince to county king.

The prince is also well aware of the truth that when the moon is full, it will lose, and when the water is full, it will overflow, and it has gradually restrained itself.

Although the Yu family's old case became his basis for attacking Song Huai, he never planned to reverse the case for the Yu family. He only mentioned Song Huai's crime, Song Huai's extensive relationship with King Cheng, and did not mention the rest.King Cheng was defeated, and the prince's goal had been achieved, so why mention Yu Zhaoming and the Yu family to make the officials feel uncomfortable?

As for the matter of the blood moon, due to the continuous rain, the drought has eased, and most of it has dissipated.

According to the emperor's thinking, Song Huai deserved to die, and he would not be able to escape if he ransacked all over his family. If he directly pinned the disaster of the blood moon on Song Huai's head, this matter could be regarded as consummation.

After all, Song Huai accepted the emperor's award before he was promoted to be the second-rank general of the town, just in response to the sentence "the evil spirit is strong, and the evil spirits are present", and it was just right to get rid of it.

The whereabouts of Zhao Man's tens of thousands of rebels. Although Song Huai did not admit that he hid them in the Qinzhou army, neither the emperor nor the prince could believe the soldiers who were originally stationed in Qinzhou. , has already trumpeted the strength of the Qinzhou Army, and it is definitely not possible to kill the soldiers who defend the country at this time.

It just so happened that the Tubo envoy came to ask for the help of the Song Dynasty. He wanted to take advantage of the situation to restore the glory of Tubo, and put all the ministries under the banner of Zong Siluo. Jun didn't have to worry about it anymore, if he didn't die, he could ask his cronies to stare at him and take it for his own use.

Furthermore, it is justifiable for Tubo to be a minister, and it is justifiable to send troops to guard Tubo.

Originally, due to the bitter battle in the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty, the Liao soldiers were eyeing the north, wanting to take advantage of it. Now the situation in the Song Dynasty has reversed in the northwest. Xixia and Tubo are at loggerheads.

At this time, Qinzhou's military strength was empty, and three out of ten soldiers and horses transferred to the north to stare at Liao State made up for the shortage.

As for the soldiers and horses who went to Qinzhou to support those refugees, they were initially framed by King Cheng for "using refugees as rebels". It is purely a false accusation that he accused the attendant who stole his seal.

Who would have thought that among these refugees there were indeed many Zhao Man's soldiers and horses, who were the "rebels" they couldn't find?

But after this slander like a joke, these "rebels" are not stained at all, and no one doubts them anymore.

In order to appease these meritorious refugee soldiers, and now that the war has been resolved and the mission has been completed, except for those who have military merits, tens of thousands are stationed in various places in the Song Dynasty, and the rest are sent back to their original places for resettlement. They are exempted from taxes for three years, and the drought has gradually passed. , the climate in the four-way land is not too cold, and it can catch up with a season of winter sowing.

All in all, in the second half of the year, the military calamity has been resolved, and the little brother of Tubo has been won, the drought has also passed, and the court has been cleaned up. Although the blood moon incident is a bit unlucky, it is finally passed safely.

However, on this day, the emperor saw the imperial decree written by himself again. Compared with the several imperial decrees issued not long ago, this imperial decree was written very simply and clearly.

The general idea is that the Li Wang Zhaoman has been abolished. He was unfaithful and unfilial as a minister and son of a man. He rebelled first. I thought of your military exploits and spared your life. I didn't expect you to repeat the old tricks and provoke the anger of heaven and earth. It is a crime to use the blood moon as a warning. It is unforgivable to let so-and-so, and so-and-so (the name of a certain official) specially follow my will to give a pot of poisoned wine to anger the people.

The emperor hesitated when he saw this imperial decree. The blood moon incident a while ago was over, and it was impossible to justify it in the name of the blood moon. Let the consultants do the writing, and when he's done he just checks.You can't contradict what you write, right?
