The lid of the box that contained Pharmacist Guo, no, part of Pharmacist Guo, had been taken away, leaving only a square tray. On the plate was the emaciated head of Pharmacist Guo, his mouth and eyes open, with a look of shock, anger, and unwillingness on his face. He seemed to want to ask loudly: "Why did I, Mr. Guo, just ask someone to kill him?"
Yes, why was he killed? Although Pharmacist Guo is not a thing, he has submitted to the Luoyang court, and he is an official of the court!
To kill an official of the imperial court is to kill an official and rebel!
Zhao Kai also looked at Cai Jing, his face getting darker and darker, as if he was about to draw his sword and kill someone.
In fact, he didn't care that much about Yaoshi Guo's life or death, but he had to show off to people like Guo Tiannu and Dong Jingang.
Because after the Battle of Wei County that day, there were more than 1,000 old victorious troops who joined the Zhao Kai Group after being captured and followed Guo Tiannu and Dong Jingang to join the Zhao Kai Group. Together with the troops of the Red Heart Team, the number was less than two thousand. Thousands, and they are all cavalry. There are still 1,2300 people still alive today, all of them are heroes of Yuancong, and many of them have become high-ranking officials. These people now form the "Yanshan Sect" headed by Guo Tiannu and Dong Jingang, which can be regarded as a small mountain in the Zhao Kai Group.
Since Guo Tiannu has never given birth and has a "fatal love" with Zhao Kai, she does not need to rely on Empress Zhu or Pan Guifei, so the "Yanshan Sect" has a relatively detached status in the Zhao Kai Group and will not be involved in the dispute for the reserve position. , so Zhao Kai is relatively assured of them.
If Pharmacist Guo was still alive now, Zhao Kai would have a headache. It's not because Yaoshi Guo has done too many bad things, but because this person is so noisy that he will definitely cause a lot of trouble. Now that Medicine Master Guo has been placed on a small plate, he can no longer cause trouble, so of course Zhao Kai can free his hands and feet to avenge him.
Cai Jing, Liu Yanjun and a large group of other old traitors on Yanshanfu Road were also confused. What is the relationship between this Guo Yaoshi and Zhao Kai? Isn't he the chief culprit of the difficulties in making peace? Why do you look like you have such a good relationship with Zhao Kai?
"Dad! You died so miserably..."
Guo Tiannu was also riding a horse at this time, running over from behind while crying - she was always in charge of the female squadron accompanying the army, and it was not convenient for these people to be at the forefront of the team, so she did not follow. Next to Zhao Kai, it was Dong Jingang who sent soldiers to report to her. Only then did she know that her father was dead, so she came crying.
And it didn't matter that she cried like this, but it scared Cai Jing.
He knew Guo Tiannu—the Ever-Victorious Goddess. Such a big target was certainly eye-catching. Moreover, Cai Jing was Guo Yaoshi's boss at the time, and of course Guo Tiannu's boss, so he had naturally seen her true face (Guo Tiannu often wore a veil in the army). Later, it was this Guo Tiannu who led the troops to "coerce" Cai Jing to surrender the gold. How could he forget Guo Tiannu's appearance?
But as far as he knew, Guo Tiannu had been killed by Zhao Kai with an arrow in the Battle of Wei County. How could she be alive now?
Cai Jing blurted out: "Chang, Changsheng Tiannu, aren't you...were you mad, no, were you shot by officials?"
Guo Tiannu didn't answer, she just jumped off the horse and rushed over to snatch her father's head, holding her in her arms and crying.
Zhao Kai calmly answered for Guo Tiannu: "The Ever Victorious Tiannu was captured alive by me in the battle of Wei County. I saw that she was brave and good at fighting, so I allowed her to surrender... Now she is my concubine!" Moreover, she recently persuaded my father, Pharmacist Guo, to surrender on my behalf! Although Pharmacist Guo was guilty in the past, after he surrendered, he became an official of the imperial court and had the power to dispatch affairs in Yanshan Prefecture. What crime should you be guilty of for killing an official of the imperial court?"
The concubines of the official family... Cai Jing, Liu Yanjun and others were almost fainted when they heard these words!
They actually killed Zhao Kai's father-in-law!
And the "Victorious Goddess" is no ordinary woman, she is a fierce woman who can go into battle and kill people. Zhao Kai takes her with him, it is useful day and night... This is a "big concubine"!
"Reporting to an official's family and killing an official of the imperial court, especially one of the ministers, is considered treason and rebellion according to law!"
The person who answered this question was Yu Yunwen, editor of Hanlin Academy of Sciences.
Yu Yunwen and his fellow Jinshis all went north this time with Zhao Kai - Zhao Kai planned to let them take over the local government in Yanshanfu Road and be responsible for checking the land and suppressing the traitors.
Well, now there is another group of rebels who need to be suppressed!
Of course, Yu Yunwen had no good intentions when he slapped Cai Jing and others with the hat of being a rebel. He didn't want the Luoyang court to successfully win over the people of Yanshan Mansion...
Yu Yunwen added: "Moreover, after they killed the imperial official and the guardian of Yanshan Mansion, they also presented his head in front of the officials. This is extremely arrogant and an unforgivable crime!"
Well, the crime of traitor is gone, and now there is the crime of rebellion. Can you still save your life?
After hearing what Yu Yunwen said, Zhao Kai certainly felt that it made sense - after all, this Yu Yunwen was a famous minister and general in the Southern Song Dynasty in history, with extraordinary knowledge! If Zhao Gou had been employed early, with Yu Yunwen as a literary figure, and Yue Pengju as a military officer, wouldn't the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains have been a piece of cake?
"Dong Jingang!" Zhao Kai yelled.
"The general is here!" Dong Jingang immediately handed over his horse.
Zhao Kai raised his riding whip and pointed it at Cai Jing, Liu Yanjun and others who had turned pale with fear, "I order you to take down all these rebels!"
Well, Master Yingwang has become a rebel!
Zhao Kai did this much more recklessly than Li Zicheng. He didn't care about Yan's people's popularity or his reputation for benevolence and righteousness, and he didn't even want to pretend.
Even if Cai Jing had not killed Yaoshi Guo, Zhao Kai would have found a reason to kill him and a group of traitorous landlords from Yan.
Now that Cai Jing is handing the knife to Zhao Kai himself, what else is there to be polite about?
"I accept the order!" Dong Jingang was also a reckless man. After receiving Zhao Kai's order, he immediately ordered his own soldiers to go up and capture the person!
Seeing that he was about to be captured, Cai Jing shouted loudly: "Guan family, Guan family... I am also an official of the imperial court. I am the comfort envoy of Yanshan Prefecture appointed by the late emperor and also knows the affairs of Yanshan Prefecture. Still a civil servant!”
Zhao Kai said sternly: "Get it! Cai Jing first committed treason and then conspired against the country. He committed a heinous crime!" He turned back to Dong Jingang and said, "This thief needs allies. You must guard him carefully and not let him commit suicide in fear of crime. I will take my life later." The Zhenfu Division will take over the investigation!"
Handing it over to the Zhenfu Division for thorough investigation shows that Zhao Kai does not recognize Cai Jing's official status at all - according to the current rules of the Luoyang court, the Zhenfu Division is responsible for dealing with various rebels, but this yamen has no regard for serving officials and serving officials. The government soldiers only have the power of investigation and not independent review. If a serving official is involved, the review must be based on the Yushitai. If unofficial soldiers are involved, the review must be conducted by the Military Justice Department. If an officer is involved, it will be interrogated by the Yushitai, the Military Justice Department, and the Zhenfu Department.
As for Cai Jing, whether or not the Yushitai and the Military Justice Department were involved was a matter of life or death.
For Zhao Kai, it is a question of whether the "Cai Jing conspiracy case" can be expanded!
Of course, this kind of expansion is actually an open grab for Yandi's land, and in all likelihood it will be extended to Hebei Road, Jingdong Road and Xijing Road (Datong) under the rule of the Jin Kingdom.
Because Zhao Kai had already passed it, the land of these four roads was at least more than 100 million acres! There is much more land than Zhao Kai's original Yingtian 4th Road.
Not only are they abundant, but they are also fertile!
Hebei Road among Yingtian 4th Road actually only has a small area of land, not much land. Shaanxi Road and Hedong Road are both poor, and only Jingxi Road is slightly better.
However, Jingxi Road has many mountainous areas, so it cannot be compared with Jingdong Road, Hebei Road (Financial Holding), and Yanshanfu Road.
And Zhao Kai must turn these roads into camp and field roads in order to continue playing the game of "conquering the world and dividing the fields." With more than 100 million acres, Zhao Kai has the resources to continue waging war to annex the northeast and southeast.
Dong Jingang's soldiers had already arrested Cai Jing, Liu Yanjun and all the other old men who came to greet the king's master. They also frightened the group of elders pretending to be poor on both sides of the official road.
Are these Song soldiers with their heads wrapped in red scarves the real king masters? Why are you so fierce? It doesn't look like he is here to save the people of Yan!
...
Liaoxi, Zongzhou, Haiyang County.
This small county town located outside Yuguan is now surrounded by countless military tents.
Most of the Jin soldiers who withdrew from Yanshanfu Road are now gathered here. The Marshal's Mansion in Dajindu is now located in Haiyang County.
Yuguan to the west of Haiyang County, as well as Pingzhou and Luanzhou where Yuguan is located, are still under the control of the Jin Army.
In other words, although Zhao Kai regained Yanshan Fucheng, the door to the Central Plains was still not closed. Dajin’s heavenly soldiers can enter the Central Plains from Yuguan at any time!
Therefore, if Zhao Kai wants to truly turn Yanshan into the northern gate of his country, he must conquer Yuguan eastward!
Wanyan Zongqian and Wanyan Zongbi saw this clearly, stationed troops at Yuguan, and occupied the favorable terrain first, and worked day and night to strengthen the city defense of Yuguan, preparing for a decisive battle with Zhao Kai's army inside and outside Yuguan!
And just when Wanyan Zongqian, Wanyan Zongbi and others were preparing for the decisive battle, the Jinren sect's secret operations on Yanshanfu Road sent back amazing good news - Zhao Kai was not Master Wang at all! As soon as he arrived in Yanjing, he used Cai Jing, Liu Yanjun and others to kill Yaoshi Guo, and launched a mass arrest at the gate of Yanjing City, arresting all Cai Jing, Liu Yanjun and others who were welcoming the king!
After entering the city, they immediately sent troops to raid the mansions of various wealthy families in Yanshan Prefecture... They looked extremely vicious, worse than the Dajin Heavenly Soldiers! The Dajin Heavenly Soldiers didn't do much to touch those wealthy families in Yanjing who took the initiative to seek refuge!
This is a rhythm that will lose people’s hearts!
Isn’t it said that those who lose people’s hearts will lose the world? Zhao Kai has lost people's hearts now, can his world last long?
Moreover, no matter what Zhao Kai did, the people in Yandi and Hebei must be unstable, and the people in the rear were also unstable. Why should he defeat the Dajin soldiers who occupied the dangerous position of Yuguan?
