A few days later, Li Gang returned to Bianjing under the guidance of Chen Guoting. The Empress Dowager ordered the Prince of Yun Zhao Kai and other four princes to lead hundreds of officials to greet the city gate. When the people in the capital heard that Li Gang returned to Beijing, they also came to wait, and there were tens of thousands of people.

There are so many feelings. Li Gang has been feeling a lot along the way.

Although the capital has experienced the war, it has been renovated and all kinds of city defenses have been restored. There are endless caravans transporting grain from all over the place. After asking, I found out that they were purchased from Jiangnan under the order of the King of Qin.

All the funds were raised by the King of Qin, and they were sold at low prices to stabilize the prices in the capital, and even without any expenses. Looking at the soldiers in the city, they were also of the same appearance. He had seen from his military uniform that they were all Hezhong Army, which was even more majestic than Hedong back then.

Da'an.

The next day, Li Gang attacked and met with the Empress Dowager, and then made his own suggestions on the current situation. He said: Since ancient times, China has only had three strategies to deal with the problems of barbarians, namely fighting, harmony, and defending. If our city is strong and people are solid, we can

If our soldiers are brave and have a good situation, we can fight; if our soldiers are straightforward and powerful, we can be harmonious. This means that peace is also based on capital. Talk under the conditions of defeating the enemy

Harmony is the essence of "a war that defeats others without fighting".

Li Gang analyzed that the losses during the Jingkang period were all because they did not fight or defend, which gave the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of. He just begged for mercy from the enemy and hoped that the enemy would have a hidden heart. How could this be achieved? It was like a thief entering the room, rummaging through boxes and cabinets.

He actually stopped him. How could he not come again next time?

On the surface, the current situation has inherited the legal system of the Song Dynasty and continued the veins of the Song Dynasty. However, in essence, the two emperors traveled north and the king did not establish them. In fact, the country's ruler was actually the king. Furthermore, after this catastrophe, all the accumulated assets were plundered by the Jurchens for a hundred years.

Let's go, the national strength has dropped significantly! In the past, the Song Dynasty was a great country. No matter how strong the Liao and Jin Dynasty were, it was still a foreign country. Now, the Jin and Song scrambled to compete with each other, and the Central Plains were all in war. If the Central Plains were lost, it would almost become a regime that was relatively peaceful.

"What I said is very true, but now the two emperors are heading north, and the crown prince is also following me. The crown prince, I think it was the time to establish the king?" Zheng Hongmei nodded and secretly praised Li Gang as a capable minister. He analyzed the current situation

He said wisely. Now that the matter of setting up the king is mentioned, this is also what she cares most about, she asked.

"Empress Dowager, I think that the power in the court is now mixed, and heroes are rising everywhere. Although most of them are loyal ministers and righteous men, there are also villains who are ready to move and covet great treasures. They will establish a king earlier and make everyone return!" Li Gang thought for a while and said.

"Well, the emperor also said in the Jin camp that "I am afraid that my sect's virtue will not be lost, and the scholars should quickly respond to the people and take their own ancestral temples conservatively. If they are not in line with each other, remember whether Guangwu has not established any affairs."

Let the princes who escaped from abroad ascend the throne and continue the Zhao family's vein!" Zheng Hongmei said, "But at that time, only the princes outside were King Qin and King Kang. After the battle of Zhaozhou, many princes were rescued, only the emperor and Xin

Wang Hexin was taken away by the thief chief Han and was unable to be saved. If he was established, the faction caused civil strife!”

"The Empress Dowager is very concerned, but I think this is a matter of trouble, and I should follow the emperor's edict and establish a king as soon as possible!" Li Gang felt that what the Empress Dowager said seemed to be in love with power, and was making excuses for him to follow the government. But he still insisted.

"Okay, then I think it's better to establish someone?" Zheng Hongmei was so smart that she also saw Li Gang's 'good intention' and asked with a smile.

"As usual, you should choose the eldest son, the virtuous, the official travels north, and the King of Qin is both good, and you can be made the king!" Li Gang not only had a good impression of Zhao Qi, but also had seen his talents and his official reputation was also very good.

"Well, but the King of Qin was unwilling to ascend the throne after receiving the imperial edict. Now it is a time of internal and external troubles. He is worried that the affairs of the superiors will cause disputes in the court and the country, and his brothers will turn against each other. Therefore, he advocates quelling external troubles first, saving the two emperors and then discussing the matter of the crown prince. !" After hearing this, Zheng Hongmei reached out and took the edict written on half of her arm on the side and showed it to Li Gang.

"Oh, the King of Qin does not care about fame and fortune, and is the first priority of righteousness. He is proud of the emperor. At this time, he needs a wise king to ascend the throne to save the country from danger and protect my great Song Dynasty's vein!" Li Gang had checked his handwriting and confirmed that the imperial seal was wrong, and sighed. .

"After the Jin army returned to the north, Zhang Bangchang abdicated and asked Empress Dowager Yuanyou to follow the government. He issued an edict to make King Kang the king. Zhang Bangchang and other fake ministers came to persuade him to submit a letter. He was ready to ascend the throne and become emperor. If the King of Qin ascends the throne again, wouldn't there be two states? Emperor, external troubles have not yet subsided, but internal troubles have arisen again!" Zheng Hongmei said.

"This..." Li Gang was also in trouble. Although he had just returned to Beijing, he had talked with officials who were greeted by Chen Guoting and other people on the way, and had some understanding of the current complex situation in the court. It can be divided into several forces:

During the Jingkang period, the peace-holding faction was composed of Geng Nanzhong, Fan Zongyin and others. The peace-holding ministers who advocated cede land and negotiate peace had an unshirkable responsibility for the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty; the war-holding faction was composed of Zongze, Zhang Suo, and Chen Gou. The people formed the people, and they strongly advocated the resistance to the Jin Dynasty and opposed the cemetery of land and peace. This type of minister was becoming more and more famous and what people wanted.

The Ultimate Sect, Zhang Bangchang was established as the pseudo-Chu Emperor, and many ministers in the court accepted the official positions of the pseudo-Chu court. Zhang Bangchang could be called usurpation of the throne, and the ministers were called defiled and obscene. There was also the traitor, Jingkang. In the face of difficulties, the ministers who ran for the Jin people to serve the lives of the Jin people were the "Traitor of the Country" Wang Shiyong, the "Grassman Grandpa" Xu Bingzhe, the "Hurried Foot Ghost" Wu Ji, Mo Qi and others, these people were They all accepted the official positions of the pseudo-Chu and were also part of the usurpationist faction.

Contrary to these traitors are the ritualists, such as Lu Haowen, Ma Shen, Zhang Jun, Zhao Ding, etc., as well as the abducted Zhang Shuye, Liu Li, Li Ruoshui and others of the Death Festival. They resisted the enemy. or the act of refusing to participate in the sale of the country and the monarch, maintaining the minimum reputation of the minister.

The most difficult thing to deal with is the royal family. The two emperors were captured and plundered north. Some of the Zhao Song royal family wanted to support Zhao Gou as soon as possible and Zhao Jie ascended the throne, but some were ready to move. Some wanted to take the opportunity to win the title of the Nine Five, and some watched. Wait for the opportunity. Among them are Zhao Zisong, Zhao Tingmei and Zhao Shuxiang, and other relatives.

But among them, the Qin King Zhao Qi, the sect, was the most powerful. He was not only strong in troops, but also had a strong army that was experienced in many battles. He also had strong financial resources and was supported by a strong rear base. He could advance or retreat, and controlled most of the Central Plains. Now Bianjing is also in Under his control, he was also the main force in fighting against Jin. This time, he rescued most of the captured personnel and won him a great reputation. Unfortunately, he failed to rescue the emperor, otherwise he would be able to ascend the throne successfully with an edict. , become the king of a country.

King Kang Zhao Gou was another powerful contender. He had both Zhao Huan’s appointment letter from the Grand Marshal of the World, as well as the edict of Empress Meng’s ascension. The procedures were complete, and they were recognized by all parties and obtained the pseudo-Chu. The support of all the ministers and there were nearly 100,000 troops in his hands. However, he had been avoiding war and was entrenched in Hebei and Shandong areas, and refused to rescue Bianjing, which made people look at him.

Now two edicts were issued by two people who had established a crown prince and were delivered to the two. Although Empress Meng was abolished, her actions could be removed under the circumstances. The serious problem now is

Both brothers held heavy troops, and if they fought for the throne, it would be a little worse for the Song Dynasty. The Qin King, the current emperor, was not called emperor for the time being, and the empress dowager was indeed more appropriate and the correct way to do it, but what to do next?

It is time to test his wisdom as the leader of all officials.

"Empress Dowager, the Qin King's concerns are true. It is the most appropriate for you to listen to the government at this time, but the most urgent task is to integrate various forces, and resist the Jin Dynasty is the most important thing!" Li Gang said after thinking for a long time.

"That's right, Fan Qiong wanted to launch a mutiny the day before yesterday, but fortunately found out that it was timely to cause a disaster!" Zheng Hongmei nodded and said. However, he was also relieved that Li Gang supported his son. In the future, he would be the Li Qin or Li Kangzhong.

It's very beneficial...

Li Gang was always thinking about how to restore the Song Dynasty. After the palace, the empress dowager praised him very much, and Li Gang also felt that he had gained trust and could do it well. After careful consideration, he submitted a memorial.

He thought that today's war was not enough, so he must never argue for peace. It is better to take preservation as the national policy, wait for political cultivation and morale to be revitalized. He will discuss the big move again.

Later, he proposed to discuss the patrol, discuss the usurpation, discuss the false decree, discuss the war, discuss the observance, discuss the main policy, discuss the instructor, discuss the moral reform and other policies. Each Li Gang prepared an explanatory note to deepen the cause and effect.

It can be said that this can also be said to be his policy program.

Zheng Hongmei saw it and agreed to the ministers. Li Gang was very relieved. He thought that Bianjing was not for the time being, so he avoided the Jin army's military in the name of patroling everywhere. According to the importance of strategic geography, he could

First go to Chang'an, then Xiangyang, and finally Jiankang. Now the empress dowager holds the right to show her determination to coexist with the country.

Li Gang believes that if we want to restore the Central Plains, we must first eliminate the fear of death and surrender in the court. If the officials in the entire court surrender and refuse to resist when encountering the enemy, and the senior officials will do what they do afterwards and are not punished, then they can still be expected.

Who will promote the restoration of great cause? Therefore, the current rebellion must be punished for future revival so that the entire country can prepare for the restoration of the Song Dynasty in the future!

After Jingkang, the Song Dynasty suffered a severe mental injury from top to bottom, from court to folk. Some were discouraged, some were confused, and some were anxious to recover. The actual situation was also very serious.

Military strikes are available at any time, and internal raids and "thieves" are in chaos everywhere. The country's foundation is very fragile. Not to mention restoring lost land, it is difficult to maintain the status quo!

Li Gang's strategic vision is to tell people: first make politics clear and then talk about it, you must not be discouraged or impatient. The counterattack will naturally be achieved in the future!

Li Gang first reported to the Empress Dowager: Zhang Bangchang, as a minister of the country, could not die in the face of difficulties, but took the power of the Jin people to change their surnames and establish their titles, and became the emperor in the south. Later, he had no choice but to welcome him and should be regarded as the chief evil. The Jin people were originally

Want to abolish Zhao family, establish Zhang Bangchang, and let Wu Kai and Mo Chu convey the order. The two ran back and forth for this, and the people in the capital called him "long-legged ghost"; Wang Shiyong and Xu Bingzhe followed the orders of the Jin people to pursue the royal relatives of the royal family.

, and ordered residents to make a security deposit and not to hide. After they were captured, they tied each other with their clothes and lapels, like prisoners. Later, they forced the Supreme Emperor, the Crown Prince, the Concubine, and the Prince to leave the city and were cold and heartbroken. Later, they were falsely ordered to rule.

Four people should be the chief of sin!

During the disaster of Jingkang, the country had great reasons, but few people were loyal to death. The scholars and officials were not honest and shameless, and did not know the righteousness of the monarch and ministers. They regarded the two palaces as passers-by as passers-by, but instead followed the orders of the thief and received countless false officials.

These people must also be punished. This work was carried out after the Empress Dowager came to Beijing to listen to the government. Li Gang started with this, took over the government affairs and adjusted the court officials.

It is extremely normal to punish all the officials who are ruthless, but some people have suggested that the court has just recovered and has to hire people everywhere. Now that these people are punished, will it not be a matter of doing things? And Zhang Bangchang was designated as the chief evildoer.

Different sounds.

Although he was called "Emperor", he was forced to do so, and after ascending the throne, he basically followed the rules of his ministers. He did not sit in the hall and was not worshipped. He met with all the officials in Xiaoxuan of Yankang Hall. He was with the consul and the servants.

When the officials discussed matters, everyone sat and talked, and they always praised their reputation. They did not use the etiquette of the emperor when they were drinking and living. They only wore dragon robes when they met the Jin people. And some people said that if they had not voluntarily abdicated and opened the city, how could they be easily restored.

Zhao Family.

The crux of Zhang Bangchang's problem is clear, but when the elites in the court talked about fallacies, they were very clear. With the support of Xu Jingheng, Chen Guoting, Zong Ze and his subordinates, Li Gang resolutely fought back, believing that Zhang Bangchang was the one who was in charge of his support.

He was accomplice of the tiger and was shameless, and his courage was a cartilage. He was foolish and short-sighted in his eyes and appointed as the emperor. He was an usurpant minister. If he wanted to build a career of revival, he should first prevail the court. Therefore, he must severely punish and understand the punishment of the righteous and punishable orders to encourage the aspirations of scholars and officials in the world!

After some debate, the conclusion was basically formed, but the last bit that defeated Zhang Bangchang was because of the woman's harem, and fell on the woman's beauty.

It turned out that there was a lady of Hua Guojinggong in the inner palace. She was originally Zhao Ji's palace maid. She had been captured to the Jin camp, but was selected by Zonghan and several other palace maids were given as gifts to Zhang Bangchang, so she became

The "concubine" of the Great Chu State. Zhang Bangchang was also a lustful person. Seeing these beautiful beauties who were just young and as beautiful as flowers, he couldn't help but feel lustful, but he was still very clear at this time and knew that the beauties were all women of the Supreme Emperor.

Although he has a lustful heart, he does not have this lustful courage.

Mrs. Hua Guojinggong saw that Zhang Bangchang had been enthroned, but she had not even touched a palace maid yet, so she obviously had some concerns. She didn't understand national affairs, but knew that the opportunity had come, and Zhao Song was over. Fortunately, she was lucky and had a good life and a great fortune.

The opportunity was right in front of him. Mrs. Hua Guojinggong was afraid that others would take the lead, so she immediately used her means to offer fruits to Zhang Bangchang repeatedly, and she also rewarded her with generous gifts every time.

Once, Zhang Bangchang was drinking a little too much. Mrs. Hua Guojinggong visited at night to accompany him to drink and laugh, and her eyes conveyed her feelings. However, Zhang Bangchang was a person with serious weaknesses, and was very confused and infatuated. She was about women.

Now he has sent him on the road of no return...

………

This year was a very important year in Zhao Gou's life. Since the opening of the Marshal's Mansion, all his decisions were not made by the influence of the people around him. Where did he have the ability to be a Marshal of the Marshal? Faced with severe and complexity, he has the ability to be a Marshal of the Marshal.

How could he have the ability to make accurate judgments in the situation? How could he plan the overall situation and turn the tide when the enemy is strong and we are weak? He was guided step by step by step by step by step from Xiangzhou to

Daming, from Daming to Dongping, from Dongping to Jeju.

But it is also this year's experience that is changing Zhao Gou's life path and also changing him as a person. He has discovered the fact that people who do according to moral requirements often go through hardships and even pay the price of their lives.

; And those who learn to plan for themselves often get a lot of things that others cannot get.

After receiving the edict transferred by Zhao Jie, Zhao Gou followed the advice of Wang and Huang, ignored the King of Qin, and sent him a letter of appointment, the official who was appointed as the Yanjing Prefecture's commander.

He knew that he wanted to keep him away from the court. At the same time, he sent two messengers to Bianjing to contact the ministers of the pseudo-Chu; and went all the way to pursue Zhao Yong, who was in Zonghan's tribe.

Kang Lu fled back from Bianjing. He successfully instigated Fan Qiong to launch a mutiny, but was detected by the ZTE Army in advance. As a result, not only Fan Qiong was arrested, but also the Imperial Battalion Army was disarmed and adapted by the ZTE Army. Zhang Bangchang and others were strictly controlled.

, lost his inner support, and then Empress Dowager Zheng successfully returned to Beijing. Empress Meng abdicated the throne. Empress Zheng listened to the government and passed the imperial edict to him, which was exactly the same as the King of Qin, and asked him to pursue the Jin army and try to save the two emperors.

On Zhao Yong's side, Zhao Gou sent someone to pack a cart of gold and silver to give him, allowing him to leave the Zhongxing Army and join his own side. In the current terms, this move is to say that the future heirs of the state leadership bribes to senior military cadres. Zhao Yong was very good at

Strangely, generous subordinates Jin and Yin, but rejected Zhao Gou on the spot. He said that the King of Qin had the kindness of rebirth for him. Now that he is working in the Qin Palace, he should repay his fate. If I have a personal relationship with Your Highness, I will be greedy for profit and forget my righteousness. Your Highness will

Do you use a person who is greedy for profit and forgets righteousness? Then, Zhao Yong used his property to fill military expenses and sent someone to report to the prince!

After hearing the echo, Zhao Gou was angry and embarrassed, and immediately sent Liu Guangshi, whom he trusted the most, to fight. But he didn't know that Liu Guangshi was not only afraid of the enemy, but also afraid that the prince would be the same. He almost gave him some money under Lingzhou City.

The prince chopped his head. He also had a deep understanding of the fighting power of the prince's subordinates. He knew that he was not an opponent, but he had to listen. He led his troops around and paid the order on the name of Zhao Yong's name that he had already led his troops to escape from a distance and did not know where to go.

, Zhao Gou can do anything!

Although the Grand Marshal's Mansion did not turn against the Qin Palace, it was impossible to go to Bianjing to proclaim himself emperor. Although the Jin army had returned north, it was still wandering around the Yellow River. Such a situation was really a dilemma. Now the Qin King rescued a large number of people.

The royal family angered the Jin army. They were mobilizing a large army to encircle and suppress it, which caused panic among Zhao Gou and his group, worried that if the Jin Kingdom defeated the Qin King's Army and the Iron Cavalry would take advantage of the victory and advance eastward and go south again, I am afraid that Jeju would be very unlucky.

It was safe, so they discussed whether to continue to go south to Suzhou. The intention was to rush south, to south, and to south if the situation continued to deteriorate... to be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to Qidian (
