As soon as Zhao Huan said these words, the court fell into silence. Even several ministers who had been shouting with Li Gang just now seemed to be choking on their own saliva.
"Cough cough cough... cough cough... Your Majesty..." Zhang Bangchang, who had managed to escape the disaster before and even got a promotion, couldn't help but stand up at this time, as if he wanted to make sure whether he had been there just now. Misheard.
But before he could finish his words, Zhao Huan's eyes were already looking at him. Although Zhao Huan came down from the battlefield, he had not killed a few people with his own hands.
But his temperament is much calmer.
In addition, after all, he has been in the army for a long time during this period, and he has many powerful soldiers and generals under his command to help him. This momentum is already different from the same.
Seeing the sparkle in these eyes, Zhang Bangchang, who now has no backing, or that his backing has completely collapsed, still chose to keep his mouth shut, not wanting to get angry.
Back then, he was a general under Wang Fu. Zhang Bangchang refused to help Wang Fu during the night of seizing power. In addition, he has not been full of evil in recent years.
Although he has some problems with his character, he can't help but be popular and have many good friends. Even Tong Guan can only say that he has both merits and demerits.
However, this guy was still unavoidable when it came to the topic of abolishing redundant officials, and he chose to resist forcefully. After all, after Wu Zetian cleaned up the Guanlong Group, the clan has become a thing of the past.
But unfortunately, the glory of the aristocratic family was not able to return. A group of genuine and fake gentlemen started a new family inheritance model, and Zhang Bangchang's family was considered to have a large population.
Zhao Huan alone knew that this year he planned to send several of his servants and nephews to official careers.
None of them can pass the Jinshi examination, so they can only do so through this method.
If Li Gang wanted to abolish Meng Yin... then he would have to kill him.
It even cost the lives of 90% of the officials.
But that being said, no one wanted to die, so they were still taken to the battlefield.
"Your Majesty!" At this time, another courtier stood up, "It's not that I have no loyalty to the country and will fight to the death, but I am the subject of the Song Dynasty.
Our duty is to assist His Majesty in handling important affairs of the world and to find a way for the people to survive..."
"Hey, Li Qing's words are wrong!" Zhao Huan is now more and more sophisticated in this method. He grabbed the minister who came out without any panic and led him forward very intimately.
"Emperor Zhenzong once said that this book has its own golden house and its own Yan Yuru, and now I want to join in the fun.
This journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Only by traveling thousands of miles can we appreciate the beauty of these mountains and rivers.
My dear friends, please go home and pack your bags today. Tomorrow we will go to various battlefields. I will personally select my dear friends to accompany me to the land south of the Yangtze River to suppress the rebellion!
Other ministers’ families will also receive their directions! "
"Your Majesty!" The courtier just now still didn't give up, "It would be good if we go, but who will handle the government affairs of the DPRK after I go? Is it possible that all the people in the world..."
"Don't worry, it won't delay this important event in the court, let alone my country, the Song Dynasty!"
At the critical moment, it was Li Gang who reacted directly and followed Zhao Huan's words, and even gave Zhao Huan a solution without any teacher.
"Since we have decided to fight the Jin people to the end, we will have to make some calculations.
Now King Yun of the court can independently assist the prince in handling the affairs of the court, and the old ministers can also share the burden. Yu Wenxuzhong and Zhao Ding are both pillars of the court.
Now this battlefield is nothing more than Shaanzhou and Guanzhong all the way, Damingfu and Zhongyuan all the way, Shandong all the way, Hedong all the way, and finally the Jiangnan place where Your Majesty is going.
In that case, we will directly divide our troops into five groups, and Your Majesty will personally lead a group of troops to quell Yang Yao's Dongting Lake rebellion.
Then I, King Yun, Zhao Ding, and Yu Wenxuzhong each led a group of soldiers and horses to the battlefield!
Bashu Hanzhong and the battle report west of Hanguguan entered the land of Chang'an.
From Guandong Luoyang to Hedong and part of Hebei Road, Shangshu entered the Hedong battlefield.
Central Plains, Damingfu and some Hebei roads are directly connected to Damingfu.
Finally, Shandong to Shunchangfu and finally Hebei Road were all sent to Shandong Road.
I have hundreds of thousands of officials in the Song Dynasty. Is it possible that I can't even classify them well? If I can't do it well, I'll kill them all! "
Li Gang's words about killing them all at every turn really left everyone speechless. A group of people even began to wonder if this old guy had been possessed by something recently.
How about asking some Taoist monks to drive him away?
You are also a minister of the Song Dynasty. He is always thinking about killing people. What do you want to do?
At this time, someone asked, "How is Jiangnan?"
Many officials in the court became silent when asked this question. Everyone understood that this was because Zhao Huan was often absent from the court and even had almost zero experience in handling court affairs independently.
If Li Gang, Zhao Dingyu, Wen Xuzhong and even Zhao Kai were not around, whether Zhao Huan could be qualified for this task or not was a matter of doubt.
Of course, this is what happened, but when he said this, many people present turned pale.
However, Li Gang did not scare them, but Yu Wenxuzhong stood up on the side. This guy used to be a die-hard minister of the Zhuhe faction, but now he is just Zhao Huan's confidant.
I saw Yu Wenxuzhong walking up to Li Yue who had just spoken, his expression becoming extremely solemn.
"What did you mean just now? You might as well tell me directly!"
"A certain family...I...I...what do you mean by this? I just asked casually!" Li Yue also realized that what he just said was wrong, but he could not continue to follow this sentence. If you continue talking, you can only deal with it vaguely.
But it was obvious that Yu Wenxuzhong would not miss this opportunity.
"Why do I think you are disrespectful to His Majesty?"
"Brother Yuwen, don't give me this shit!"
"Then Brother Li thinks that His Majesty doesn't have this ability!"
"Fart, there is no such thing! No!"
"That's enough!" Zhao Huan interrupted Li Yue who was still about to refute, looked at the two of them directly and said in a deep voice, "What official documents need to be dealt with in a situation like Jiangnan's?
Did he, Yang Yao, capture another state or county, or was it that the people there were forced to rebel by the imperial court?
If one day all the official documents from Jiangnan, Guangzhou, Guangxi and other places are delivered to me, then I will be happy. "
Zhao Huan's words completely set the tone for this matter.
At the same time, the Song Dynasty court also divided the teams in just one day.
In Luoyang alone, there are thousands of officials at all levels. Tong Guan finally began to play his role. His Imperial City Division has finally achieved considerable results in these years.
He directly handed over the lists to Zhao Huan. If he could tell Zhao Huan who was the pillar of the court and help the Song Dynasty get out of the predicament, then he really didn't have the ability.
But if Tong Guan is asked to tell Zhao Huan who in the court is working or not, he is familiar with the matter.
"What do you mean by talking about dozens of people?" But now Zhao Huan looked at the list of dozens of people he handed over with a really bad expression, "This Song Dynasty has more than ten times as many officials as Luoyang alone... "
"Your Majesty has misunderstood. These things can keep the manager in charge."
"..." Zhao Huan was embarrassed and everyone was stunned, "This huge Luoyang is also the capital of our Song Dynasty. If only these dozens of officials are left, wouldn't it be too few..."
Yue Fei on the side still didn't quite understand what was going on here, but he just felt that this number of people was really not that many for an important place in the capital.
Tong Guan just shook his head.
"General Yue's words are wrong. Not to mention, as long as we all leave, the things in Luoyang City will be reduced by more than half. Even if I don't leave Luoyang City, only these people will be left behind... .I’m afraid they will all feel a lot more relaxed.
After all, these are the only people working now. "
"...In Luoyang City, which has nearly a thousand officials, only these dozens of people are...this...is ridiculous!"
"It's ridiculous, but it's also true!"
In one sentence, the sadness of the Song Dynasty was fully expressed.
In May of the fourth year of Jingkang, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were divided into five groups and fought separately.
Zhao Huan's commander-in-chief Yue Fei went to the south of the Yangtze River with his general Zhang Jun and many generals under his command.
Li Gang led the courtiers into Chang'an, under his generals Liu Zhongwu, Liu Qi, his father and son, and the Wu brothers.
Zhao Ding led the courtiers into Kaifeng, under his general Yang Weizhong, the new marshal of Hebei Road, Zhang Suo of the Eight-Character Army and others.
Zhao Kai led the court officials into Hedong, and his generals Han Shizhong, Hu Yantong and others.
Finally, there is Shandong Road. Yu Wenxuzhong led the troops and horses into Shandong Road. On the other side, Guo Yaoshi led the troops directly from Shunchang Mansion into Shandong Road. The two joined Shandong to replace Wang Yuan, who was seriously ill.
On the other side, the Jin people also started their attack again.
In the previous fight and struggle, Wanyan Loushi failed to hold on until the end and died of illness in the mansion.
Su Hao was raised up and down in the Jin Kingdom, but at the same time, the Jin people also took Wanyan Zongfu as the commander-in-chief, and Nianhan, Zongwang, Wanyan Gao, Wanyanchang, and Wanyan Zongpan as the generals.
With Jin Wushu as the vanguard, he continued to attack the six counties of Han and Xiang.
Mobilize the armies from all over the Jin Kingdom and go south to destroy the Song Dynasty!
The battle between the two sides finally began to officially break out, and this time it would become another crisis of national destruction for the Song Dynasty.
But just as both sides were making intensive preparations, another force had already come to an end.
Yang Yao completely betrayed Prime Minister Zhong. The Dongting Lake Navy General under his command completely lost the morale of the people and the military under Kong Yanzhou's endless flattery and inducement.
Yang Yao completely fell into despair and completely lost himself.
"In this battle, the priority is to attack the city, and the priority is to attack the heart!"
"Send an order to Jiangnan. Anyone who surrenders to the imperial court will not be punished!"
