Within Taixue.
A group of Tai students looked at the amount of old coins in the Di newspaper, their eyes were bloodshot, and they were filled with anger, and they all angrily criticized the ambitions of the two countries.
Especially in Kaifeng City, the envoys of Liao and Xia were reported to be arrogant and domineering. The envoys of the two countries wanted to add more coins, the envoys of Liao wanted to change the coins to tribute, and Xixia wanted to secede the three cities of the Song Dynasty. This was even more exciting. A group of young people are too high-spirited students.
"The dispute in the court came, and the officials issued an order to expel the envoys of Liao and Xia. They swore that after the Song Dynasty, there would be no reconciliation, no indemnity, no land cession, no annual coins, the world would guard the country, and the king would die in the country."
Suddenly another shocking news reached Taixue.
"good!"
The Taixue School was almost in a state of shock. Every one of the Taixue students was so excited that they clapped their hands and applauded.
Without him, Zhao Xu's iron-blooded oath is just right for all the imperial students.
"The official family is actually a British master. I, the Song Dynasty, can be saved!"
Zhang Yong, a doctor of Taixue, burst into tears and said that although he was old, he was not willing to bear the shame of yearly coins.
"Evil doctor Fan Zhengchao completed half of "Man Jiang Hong"."
Then another piece of shocking news came.
"The shame of the old coin has not yet snowed, and the hatred of the ministers, when will it be eliminated!..."
"Be from scratch, clean up the old mountains and rivers, overturned Que."
As Banque's "Man Jiang Hong" spread throughout the Imperial College, all the students were very excited. Fan Zheng's Banque poem simply touched their hearts. They wished they could abandon their pens and join the army to serve the country, sweep across Xixia, and destroy the Liao Kingdom in the north. .
"You are ambitious and your ministers are ambitious. We, the Song Dynasty, are united as one, so why worry about being unhappy?" Zhang Yong said excitedly in his heart.
"What about the British Lord? It's a pity that the Empress Dowager now listens to politics from behind the curtain. Even if the officials have great ambitions, they probably don't have the courage to fight."
"It would be great if the officials were in charge!" Wang Di sighed in his heart.
The hearts of all the imperial students were moved. Wang Di's words spoke out what everyone was thinking.
"Fan Zheng begs the Empress Dowager to withdraw the curtain and let the officials take charge. The Empress Dowager wants to kill Fan Zheng."
"There has never been a reform in the past dynasties without bloodshed. In the two reforms in the Song Dynasty, there was no bloodshed due to the reform. This is the reason why the Song Dynasty did not prosper. If so, please set yourself up."
Later, more and more of Fan Zheng's feats in the court spread, and all the imperial students fell silent. They always called Fan Zheng an evil doctor, and they despised him in their hearts. But now Fan Zheng has done a feat that makes them all ashamed. .
"Senior Brother Fan is in trouble, how can we, the Imperial Doctor, sit back and ignore it?"
"My family of doctors cannot repeat the tragedy of Hua Tuo again!"
Suddenly, an excited noise came from the Imperial Medical Office nearby, causing all the imperial students to look sideways.
"What's going on?" Everyone was puzzled.
Soon someone came back from inquiring about the news and said with an embarrassed face: "The evil doctor Fan Zheng asked the Queen Mother to withdraw the curtain and let the officials take charge. The Queen Mother became angry and wanted to kill Fan Zheng. A group of doctors were ready to knock on the door to support Fan Zheng.
Now the evil doctor Fan Zheng has succeeded in becoming a forensic doctor. He is the well-deserved leader of the medical family and the idol of the young imperial doctor. Now Fan Zheng sings an impassioned song "Man Jiang Hong" and is loyal to the emperor and the country. However, he is unjustly killed by the emperor and the empress dowager. Naturally, the imperial doctor's bureau is stirred up. dissatisfaction.
After the new party's secret instigation, the public immediately became excited and supported Fan Zheng.
Seeing the success of the Imperial Medical Bureau's layout, Wang Di went out and shouted: "Dear classmates, the official family is the master of ZTE, intending to lead the Song Dynasty to reform and become stronger, but the Empress Dowager insisted on giving Liao and Xia year-old coins to measure the Song Dynasty. Material resources, in order to win the favor of Liao and Xia, there are even rumors that the Empress Dowager intends to depose the emperor, which is reported to King Yong, and there is even news that the Empress Dowager is preparing to mobilize the imperial army to seize power by force."
"This is simply unreasonable!"
Zhang Yong felt a chill in his heart. Empress Dowager Gao had been in power for eight years and held great power. Is this possible?
"The old traitor is good for the country!"
"The official family has reached adulthood, but the Empress Dowager is still unwilling to return to power. It turned out that she wanted to do what the Empress Wu did."
A group of imperial students angrily said that the officials were determined to make progress and vowed to revitalize the Song Dynasty, but Empress Dowager Gao actually wanted to depose the emperor and flatter the Liao and Xia countries for her own selfish purposes.
"It has been 120 years since the country has raised scholars, and today is the day of sacrifice for justice! You are willing to follow me, Wang Di, to knock on the que and ask for orders, so that the officials can take charge and revitalize the Song Dynasty." Wang Di shouted.
Wang Di is the grandson of Wang Anshi. Wang Anshi has a bad reputation in the court, but he has a high prestige in the hearts of young people. When he ascends to the throne, he calls out, and all the imperial students respond.
At this moment, a team of Taipei doctors and a team of Taipei students are supporting each other! They rushed to the imperial city in a mighty manner, knocked on the que to ask for orders, and asked the officials to take charge.
The people of Kaifeng looked at this scene in shock, but when they learned the whole story, they were equally filled with indignation.
For the people of Kaifeng! The New Year's coins given to Liao and Xia were all taken from their people's wealth. However, the officials finally decided to abolish the New Year's coins. Empress Dowager Gao actually wanted to continue to send New Year's coins to Liao.
"The rise and fall, everyone is responsible!"
"The Great Song Dynasty suffered for a long time!"
"The official family is the master of ZTE. Please remove the curtain!"
Immediately, citizens of Kaifeng followed the imperial doctor and imperial students one after another to the imperial palace to kowtow.
There were even more radical scholars and literati who came directly to the White Tiger Hall, surrounded the gate and angrily scolded him for being in vain for the kindness of the emperor, and for daring to follow the orders of Empress Dowager Gao to cause trouble. They would be liquidated and the nine clans would be punished in the future.
"This is simply unreasonable! You dare to surround Baihu Hall. This is a capital crime! Come, arrest them all!" Gao Gongji said angrily.
"General Gao must not do it. These are all scholars and literati, many of whom have achieved fame. We must not act rashly." Taiwei Meng Yuan shook his head.
The Song Dynasty relied on literature to control military affairs for hundreds of years. The generals' fear of the literati was engraved in their bones. They would rather face the fierce and arrogant Liao soldiers than dare to point their troops at the literati, because this was a taboo.
"How outrageous. The Empress Dowager is devoted to the country and has worked hard for great achievements. They actually insulted her openly. This is a crime of great disrespect. Don't forget that you are in the position you are today because of the grace of the Empress Dowager." Gao Gongji said angrily.
All the generals were silent for a moment. The Gao family was originally a family of generals and had great prestige in the military. After they came to power, they single-handedly promoted all the generals.
Take the current Taiwei Meng Yuan as an example. He was originally just a defense envoy. His granddaughter was admired by Empress Dowager Gao and appointed as the queen. She was successively promoted by Empress Dowager Gao and took the position of Taiwei. Empress Dowager Gao was very kind to her.
Meng Yuan naturally gave him a peach and repaid him with a plum. He used Gao Gongji more, making him the second in command.
"It is against filial piety and filial piety for the officials to force the palace for no reason. Now that the life and death of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are unknown, it would be ungrateful for you to sit back and watch. The city of Kaifeng is in chaos now. If we can help the Empress Dowager to bring order to the chaos... ….”
The expressions of all the generals changed and they said: "General Gao must be careful, the army cannot send out troops without the Tiger Talisman. This is an ancestral system. The Empress Dowager has not sent the decree, and the Privy Councilor Cao has not sent the order to mobilize the troops. What if we wait?" If you act rashly, no matter what the reason is, you will definitely die."
The scholars were not alarmist. The Song Dynasty had learned from the lessons of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms and was on tight guard against warriors. Anyone who dared to cause rebellion would be severely punished.
This time it is the officials and the Empress Dowager who are seizing power. If they are involved, even if the Empress Dowager wins, she may not be able to escape the liquidation of the next generation of emperors after her death.
After all, no matter what the reason is, it is unforgivable for the emperor to lead troops to force the palace. Besides, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty already support the official government, so why should they be the first to do so.
"We are not plotting rebellion, but we want to ensure the safety of the Empress Dowager. Don't forget the lesson of an emperor and a courtier." Gao Gongji said seductively in a low voice.
The generals couldn't help but frown. They were indeed promoted by Empress Dowager Gao. Only Empress Dowager Gao was here to keep their positions. If the officials were in charge, I'm afraid...
"Moreover, the officials were bewitched by the evil doctor Fan Zheng and determined to reform. In the future, they will definitely re-appoint the new party and restart the Liao-Xia war. How many innocent soldiers will be sacrificed by then, and I am afraid that you and I will not be able to escape." Gao Gongji threatened again.
Meng Yuan and the generals were shocked. They had all experienced the wars in the past, and naturally knew the cruelty of the war and the ferocity of the Xixia soldiers, and fear of war grew in their hearts.
"And we are not alone. There are also many civil servants who follow the Empress Dowager. We will definitely not sit idly by and ignore the unfilial behavior of officials." Gao Gongji said confidently.
Empress Dowager Gao is a conservative leader with many followers. Today she was just caught off guard by Zhao Xu! You may not lose in a real battle.
All the generals looked at each other and nodded slowly, while Taiwei Meng Yuan looked hesitant.
Seeing this, Gao Gongji whispered in a low voice: "Queen Meng was appointed by the Empress Dowager Gao, and the officials have always been unhappy. If the Empress Dowager loses power, I am afraid that Empress Meng's position as queen will not be guaranteed! Don't forget that the Renzong Dynasty was deposed." Later Guo learned from the past."
Meng Yuan's face suddenly changed. Guo was Renzong's first queen, and she was also the queen appointed by the Queen Mother Liu E. Renzong didn't like it. After Renzong came to power, he quickly abolished the Guo family and appointed Cao as the new queen. Queen, and the granddaughter Queen Meng is exactly the same as the Guo family.
"This matter needs long-term consideration!" Meng Yuan said solemnly:
When Gao Gongji saw this, he smiled proudly in his heart. Whether it was for his position as a prince or for his position as a queen, Meng Yuan must stand on the side of the empress dowager.
With the support of Taiwei Meng Yuan, great things can be accomplished!
When Meng Yuan returned to Meng's Mansion worriedly, it was already dark!
Suddenly I found that the Meng Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colors, which was extremely grand. I was about to get angry and reprimand, but I saw a graceful and luxurious figure, who was Queen Meng.
"Old minister, see the Queen!" Meng Yuan stepped forward and saluted.
Queen Meng quickly helped Meng Yuan up and said: "Grandpa! It is your granddaughter who should be saluting you at home!"
Meng Yuan said stubbornly: "The etiquette cannot be abolished. Now that you are honored as the queen, there is no difference between the king and the minister!"
Queen Meng couldn't help but sigh. Meng Yuan had always been extremely stubborn, and she was extremely helpless about it.
"Why did you come home suddenly? Could it be that the officials just took over the government and drove you back!" Meng Yuan suddenly said with a change of expression.
Empress Meng smiled bitterly and said, "What are you talking about, grandpa? The official family invited me to come here to persuade grandpa to stabilize the morale of the army and ensure that there is no chaos in the army."
Meng Yuan frowned. He did not expect that the official would ask the queen to persuade him in person.
"How is the Empress Dowager now?" Meng Yuan asked.
Empress Meng answered truthfully: "The Imperial Grandmother is in the palace now, and Empress Dowager Xiang is trying to persuade her!"
Meng Yuan was silent, he naturally knew what Queen Meng meant by 'persuading'.
"You should know that the Empress Dowager is very kind to the Meng family, but the official family does not like you. If it were not appointed by the Empress Dowager, the official family would not be able to appoint you as the queen." Meng Yuan said solemnly.
Empress Meng's expression remained unchanged and she nodded: "My granddaughter knows, but after she has married an official, she will marry a chicken, a chicken, a dog, or a dog. What's more, the granddaughter is now pregnant with a dragon seed and has shared the honor and disgrace with the official family." .”
Meng Yuan said calmly: "In addition to you, there are two other pregnant concubines in the harem. If you give birth to a child other than a prince, and if the Queen Mother is not here, I am afraid that she will be deposed!"
Queen Meng was not surprised by this and said: "Even if my granddaughter gives birth to a princess this time, she will also give birth to a prince in the future, because her granddaughter has already mastered the secret recipe for a woman's pregnancy."
At that moment, Queen Meng told Fan Zheng the pregnancy pattern, and Meng Yuan's face moved for the first time. If there is this method, the chance of Queen Meng giving birth to a prince will be greatly increased. The legitimate son born to the queen will definitely be the eldest son in the future. There was no chance of ascending to the throne. At that time, the status of the Meng family was as stable as Mount Tai.
Of course, Queen Meng had something to hide. She did not know Zhao Xu's physical condition. If Zhao Xu's body recovered, she would definitely give birth to a prince. If the official family was infertile in the future, then she would have to resign herself to fate.
"Besides, I came here under a military order from the government. If I can't convince grandpa, I'm afraid the government will kill my granddaughter without the government, and my granddaughter will have no face to see the government again." Empress Meng said with a sad look on her face.
Meng Yuan's face suddenly stiffened. He naturally knew that his granddaughter had a very similar temper to him and would definitely do what he said. However, without the support of Empress Dowager Gao, her granddaughter might be deposed.
But now if he supports Empress Dowager Gao, his granddaughter will have deposed herself as queen.
"Father! This is the grudge between their ancestors and their grandchildren. They broke their bones and connected their tendons. How could the officials kill the Empress Dowager? Why should we, the Meng family, take part in it at the risk of annihilation?" Meng, the father of Queen Meng, said In painstaking persuasion.
Meng Yuantian struggled with the favor of Empress Dowager Gao for promotion, and the future happiness of his granddaughter and the future of the Meng family.
After a long time, Meng Yuan sighed: "We must ensure the safety of the Empress Dowager."
Queen Meng suddenly cried with joy, knowing that her grandfather had decided to side with the official family!
"Thank you, grandpa!" Queen Meng bowed solemnly.
"I hope you won't regret it in the future!" Meng Yuanyi sighed.
At that moment, Meng Yuan made up his mind to support the official family and immediately began to make secret arrangements.
At the same time, Cai Que stepped into the Cao family. The Cao family had an irreconcilable relationship with the Empress Dowager Gao. The Empress Dowager Gao was the niece of the Cao family. The two families had been close friends and supported each other for generations.
Queen Guangxian Cao asked her niece Gao to marry Ying Zong. After Empress Dowager Gao listened behind the curtain, she reciprocated by appointing Cao Hui as the privy envoy.
Half an hour later, Cai Que confidently walked out of Cao's house.
The more powerful the family, the more cautious they act. Now the three prime ministers in the court all support the official government, and the public is excited to demand the official government. As long as the Cao family remains neutral, they can guarantee prosperity and wealth, so they will naturally not take risks. act.
Later, Cai Que visited several important military ministers, all of whom were military supporters of Xining's reform, in order to make a comprehensive plan.
After doing all this, Cai Que breathed a heavy sigh of relief. The color of fish belly was already turning white in the east, and before he knew it, it was already dawn.
He knew all this, and the die-hards who followed Empress Dowager Gao were definitely not idle either. However, as long as the military was stable, the officials were eighteen years old, they had the right to pro-government, and the people's support was in the officials, the New Party would definitely win this time.
