Shao Song

Vol 2 Chapter 30: fear

After the end of the spring of the tenth year of Jianyan, most of the people in the world, from south to north, from east to west, from Mongolia to Korea, from Khitan to Jurchen themselves, seem to have reached a consensus.

That is, Dajin Nation has actually died.

The ten-year war between Song and Jin has ended.

However, the end of this war, or the so-called landmark event of the fall of the Great Golden State, is destined to be controversial.

Some people say that the Kingdom of Jin is a tribal alliance, and the country is established by military force. Therefore, when the Zhao Guanjia ordered the entire army to suppress it on the third day of February, the country actually perished without error.

Some people also say that the reason why the Kingdom of Jin is regarded as a serious country is that after all, it entered the Han region and changed a certain Han system. With the system and people’s mind, it is a saying. Therefore, the Jurchen people gave up Yanjing and the so-called national race was together. Escape from Handi and return to the outside of the Great Wall is the sign of the subjugation of the Kingdom of Jin.

Of course, it is also said that Wanyan Wushu went south to Cangzhou, and he wanted to eat a fire, but was directly beheaded by the Zhao official family without saying a word. This is the sign of the subjugation of the Kingdom of Jin...because Wanyan Wushu itself is within the Kingdom of Jin. The last all-round supreme ruler with strategic vision, military experience, and political experience was also the actual commander of the Jin Army in the late Song and Jin War.

However, considering that the Kingdom of Jin still has thousands of miles beyond the Great Wall, there are still six large and more than 200 small Jurchen tribes, there is still a certain amount of ordnance reserves and countless gold and silver goods, and more importantly, they also have a sovereign and a ruling party. The prince, the two elders, the scholars, the generals...There are always many people...Therefore, there are always some people who pursue procedural justice who think that the Kingdom of Kings has not died, and the War of Song and Kings has not yet ended.

At the end of March and early April, with Lu Yihao's return to Yanjing, surrounded by tens of thousands of Jiashi, the governor of Hebei became the central protagonist of this stage of the Northern Expedition. Qin King Han Shizhong took the initiative to surrender the original Liao Dynasty Shangshu. Taiwan, and Governor Lu immediately established a temporary Metropolitan Government here, and carried out a lot of work in accordance with the previous will, and countless administrative orders were issued from here.

And Zhao Guan's family, who left the Yellow River and walked slowly north along the coastline, also cooperated throughout the whole process to give orders. When Yanjing asked, almost nothing was unsuccessful.

Yanshan Road was re-established, and the new manager Lu Yihao was undoubtedly concurrently appointed by Lu Yihao; Datong Road was formally established, and Renbaozhong and others came to the official appointment of his own manager; and the Tokyo side gave Hedong Road, Hebei East Road, and Hebei West Road three official appointments. The suggestions made by the route manager were rejected in all cases, and military control continued in the name of the Metropolitan Government.

The last point has caused some waves in Tokyo and local officialdom, and it is getting bigger and bigger.

Because soon, with countless appointment and dismissal documents directly issued from the Yanjing Metropolitan Government, the local surrendered officials north of the Yellow River began to be formally screened according to the performance of spring ploughing, and about 40% of the officials were retained. , And those who visited the spring ploughing and participated in the Northern Expedition to prepare for consultation, as well as the educated officers in the army, also began to transfer to places on a large scale.

This means that the Tokyo officialdom has hardly obtained the most anticipated harvest from this Northern Expedition.

However, the interesting thing is here. The emotions that should have been filled with anger and dissatisfaction are obviously mixed with a certain sense of fear... Moreover, this fearful emotion seems to be far greater than dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction. anger.

To put it bluntly, ten years of accomplishments, and based on the knowledge of this era, the superior official, of course, has enjoyed the greatest contribution and prestige.

Now, in this feudal empire full of Confucianism, no one can question this official family anymore. In times and history, in terms of power orientation, Zhao Jiu in Cangzhou has also become an anchor point of existence.

In Tokyo, here in Hebei, civil servants and military commanders only have to worry about being abandoned by the officials, but do not have the qualifications for anger and dissatisfaction.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Zhao Guanjia was so unscrupulous and allowed Yanjing to invade Tokyo's powers and responsibilities, but he did not even show his face, but went along the river into the sea and did some absurd things.

On the third day of April, Zhao Guan’s family, who had really sacrificed their ancestors in Cangzhou, continued to enter the Yanjing Mansion category (at this time Yanjing includes most of the later Tianjin), and immediately made an order after arriving at Yangshui to abolish the Daming Mansion Beijing and change it to Yanjing. For Beijing, at the same time, with Yue Fei as the commander and Yelu Benwei as the deputy, he governed the Eastern Mongolia and Goryeo armies, went out of the fortress to pursue the Lord of the Kingdom of Jin, and entered the Liaodi to sweep outside the fortress.

At this time, everyone finally learned that the Zhao official family gave Jin Guo the last tolerance after Wu Shu died-Liao Wang and Grand Prince Wanyanwu must die.

After you die, you can give Jurchen another chance to come over and listen to the conditions.

"Then Wanyan Wushu knelt for the whole afternoon, and didn't even dare to ask for a fire. What happened in the end?"

In Yanjing City, Shangshu Taichung, Qin Wang Han Shizhong after reading the relevant documents after a few cases, suddenly let go, then turned his head and smiled and looked at the few people beside him. "Wan Yan Wuben once died, he still has to go to the top of Lu Guan and Lazy, when the time comes, Jin Guo will do what he wants to do?"

"Not only that."

Xing Wang Ma Kuo shook his head to the side. "Now that the Kingdom of Jin has thrown away the Yanyun clan to go out of the fortress, if there is still a court structure, then Wanyan Wuben has decided in one word, but the forces in the army have been divided into the Wanyan clan and other Jurchen tribes. ... The official intention was that they would continue to dig their hearts and slash their bones, force out the troubles, and get the Wanyan clan from the kingdom."

"If that's the case, Jin Guozhen will die together from the inside to the root." Han Shizhong sighed inexplicably.

"Is it okay to die together from the inside to the root?"

At this moment, Lu Yihao’s voice suddenly came from outside the hall. The generals below Han Shizhong looked back and saw that the more clear-faced Governor Lu Dadu came in on crutches in the past few days, and there was a Shangshuhu from the Ministry of Industry and Engineering behind him. Yin Hu Mingzhong, plus Fan Zongyin, Yu Yunwen and other civil servants, came forward to greet and salute.

Not so unexpectedly, Lu Yihao also offered courtesy to Han Shizhong and Ma Kuo, and then he turned to the main position without rush, and waited until the chief governor directly opened the documents that had been laid out on the case. , Gave a pen to instruct, Han Hu and the following civil and military, then one after another took their seats, and then continued the topic just now.

"Where did Lu Xianggong want to go?" Han Shizhong leaned on his belt in the seat and said with emotion. "Just thinking about the shape of Wanyan Wushu before his death...According to what Cheng Min said to me when he came back, thinking about Wanyan Wushu as the ruling prince of a country, he knelt opposite the official house for a long time without daring to say a word. Said, even a fire would not dare to invite one in person...whatever I didn't want to invite, I didn't dare to invite...it is ridiculous!"

"What's ridiculous, isn't that human nature?"

Hu Yin said casually with a blank face. "I was a little bit dissatisfied in my heart, and looked at death as a stubborn spirit, so I didn't want to beg for food, nor did I want to ask for mercy for Jin Guo in a low voice... But after all, he came here to surrender in the face of poverty. Therefore, I dare not make any unnecessary expressions. I am afraid that even my own life will only be the result of entering in vain...I am afraid of Jin Guo's future to the point that I dare not smell it."

"indeed."

Ma Kuo nodded heavily. "If you say so, the officials actually understand Wushu's mind, and they are just waiting for Wushu to speak..."

"Waiting for more than an hour?"

Lu Yihao turned over some documents on the case before turning over, and suddenly sneered. "You are the prince and Shangshu, are you all this knowledge?"

Ma Kuo closed his mouth immediately, Han Hu was helpless, even Fan Zongyin and others who were about to connect were also silent...Of course they knew that Lu Yihao himself had no malice, but was just used to it... But fortunately they were fortunately still in the Northern Expedition. In the final stage, if Wang Yan is here, if it is normal, this mere word is a pair of enemies.

"Does Lu Xianggong think the officials have any concerns?"

After a while, Han Shizhong reopened with a sense of ownership... After all, even though the other party is a sage, a chief governor, and he is old, physically weak, and needs respect, but in the present situation, he really doesn’t. Fear each other.

"What can the officials think?"

Lu Yihao continued to look through the documents and shook his head in agreement. "It's nothing more than knowing that Wu Shu's thoughts were in his mind from the beginning. As you said, he was ready to wait for a while, but after waiting for a long time, he was touched by the situation, and on the contrary, he was just like the other party, and he became afraid of the future... "

Hearing these last words, Hu Yin's heart moved slightly, but everyone else was taken aback.

"What are the officials afraid of?" After Han Shizhong was taken aback, he panicked inexplicably.

"Your Royal Highness King Qin, Marshal Han, and the official, what are you afraid of?" Lu Yihao suddenly looked up and stared at the first military minister with a smile.

Han Shizhong immediately leaned on his belt and smiled back: "Look at what Lu Xianggong said, how come I am even scared?"

But after laughing, for some reason, Han Shizhong's heart became more flustered, and even his smile gradually lost.

"What can you be afraid of?"

Lu Yihao picked up the pen and continued to read the instructions, and then still shook his head. "An extremely human official, the first in the world, King Qin is not enough, but also to add a county king to the brothers in the army... Isn't this enough to make people fearful?"

Han Shizhong stopped talking, and Ma Kuo was slightly awakened. Fan Zongyin, Yu Yunwen and others also bowed their heads.

And Lu Yihao also continued to mutter some words, and went on talking indiscriminately:

"Furthermore, besides the wealth and honor in the present world, there are also meritorious fame, as well as the ‘drunken light and watch the sword’...

"You Han Liangchen also read the book, and you should know that if you compile the "Song History" in the future, you Han Shizhong is afraid that you will have to separate it. If you divide the "Southern Song Book" and "Northern Song Book", then you can't say it in the "Song History". "Book of the Northern Song Dynasty" ranks in the first three miles of biographies..."

"The top five at most..." Han Shizhong couldn't help but interject.

"The first five should be the first five." Lu Yihao said disapprovingly. "But no matter whether the top three or the top five, such wealth and reputation, can it really be held to death?

"How much do I have in my stomach, don't I know?

"If there is something wrong with your descendants, if you don't keep up with the official's footsteps in the next thirty years... and you end up in a late festival, what should you do?

"It's so cold from high places... King Qin, Marshal Han, are you really not afraid?"

Han Shizhong wanted to interrupt again at first, but after all he remained silent for a while. Then he slowly lowered the hand holding the belt and stroking his knees for a moment. He said, "Lu Xianggong is so transparent. How can Shizhong not be afraid?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Yunwen, who arrived here the day before because of an decree, directly buried his head lower.

"Look...you have to be afraid of the result of such a feat. What about officials? The result of official feats is as heavy as Mount Tai? How can you not be afraid?" Yu Yunwen was afraid, but some were not afraid. Lu Yihao did not raise his head calmly. Just treat it as the usual language.

As everyone knows, the few civil and military officials in the temple, as well as the book clerks and other middle-level officials, have long held their breaths and dared not make any unnecessary movements.

"But I'm afraid of leaving the official family. What is the official family afraid of?" Han Shizhong paused for a moment and asked actively. He was really curious.

"The officials are also afraid of leaving you." Hu Yin suddenly interrupted. "Too close creates misfortune, too far away creates suspicion, which makes the emperor and his ministers feel uneasy...So, if the official makes some crazy things someday, don't be suspicious. It's not just that he has lost his way in fear."

"Indeed." Ma Kuo seemed to think of something, but he was emotional for a while. "Some things are destined to be unclear... and there are still too many 300,000 imperial battalions. After this encounter, Jin Guo will still have to make up his mind."

Han Shizhong also nodded slightly.

"This has happened since ancient times." Fan Zongyin couldn't hold back either. "The following are all preached... King Qin, King Jin or King Wei may have to join the pivot and enter the secret pavilion. The marshal is a saying. The three kings of Zhenrong, Longde and Longxi seem to have also said. ."

This remark directly caused a noise in the hall.

"You look down on the officials too." Lu Yihao allowed the chaos in the temple for a while, but he lowered his head to dispose of the last remaining documents. He waited until the instructions were completed and put down the pen. Then he spoke with emotion. As soon as he opened his mouth, the temple The whole was quiet. "Of course the officials are also afraid of not being able to keep the friendship between the emperor and the ministers, but don't the officials be afraid of how to govern and how to deal with the two rivers in Tokyo? How to deal with the devastated land in Hebei without being afraid? How to explain to the southeast if you are not afraid If you are not afraid, why do you want to hide and repair the Yellow River if you are not afraid of the death of Hebei and the Kingdom of Jin?"

"Xiu Huanghe..." Han Shizhong followed half a sentence, seemingly unresponsive.

"Xiu Huang He... is so afraid that you dare not match up with anything, because repairing the Yellow River will definitely not go wrong." Lu Yihao explained earnestly. "It's as if the officials raised fish and mulberry in the harem before...you can certainly not go wrong with fish and mulberry cultivation."

"This is a bit...a bit weird, isn't it?" Ma Jiao also became a little uneasy.

"What's incredible?"

Lu Yihao scanned a few people around. "There are several ministers and ministers who have been with the official family for a long time, and quite a few know what the official family means. Haven't you seen that Hu Shangshu hasn't spoken for a long time?"

Everyone looked at Hu Yin in amazement, seeing that the other party had no intention of rebutting, and they became more awe-inspiring.

"From the very beginning, the officials were afraid to do things, but the situation was there at that time, and nothing was done... This was the change in Jingkang that year, and the officials had to take up the task of the world and caused the distress... it has always been this way! "At this point, Lu Yihao thoughtfully. "The old man always thought that in the Ming Dao Palace incident that day, the official did not have any memory loss at all, but after he had courage, he needed a statement to prevaricate the world! After all, although the official is the emperor, he is also a mortal...very hard. "

No one refuted it, because after ten years, no one believed the Zhao official’s memory loss. Even Lu Yihao’s statement was originally a consensus between the people and the officialdom. The only thing is that the official is involved in the matter. Everyone is usually not good at it. I'm not talking about it, but communicating in private, I'm afraid that even the people in Tokyo think this is too bad.

However, at this time, it is indeed circumstantial evidence that Zhao Guanjia has always been afraid of doing things, afraid of taking responsibility, and afraid of dealing with chaotic situations.

It was Hu Yin who fell into almost confused memories... This is not to say that Hu Mingzhong had other ideas, but he suddenly realized that he was actually the same as the official, and he was afraid of some things.

"The old man knows that you have to be cautious, but an old man who is waiting to die does not have to worry about it, and the official will not care about this with the old man." Lu Yihao looked at the reactions of the people around him, and suddenly laughed. "Moreover, the old man has something more maddening to do...Do you think the old man invites you over today to chat?"

Han Shizhong and Ma Kuo quickly got up, Hu Yin who had recovered from his senses did not hurriedly stood up, Fan Zongyin hesitated before getting up, and then Yu Yunwen quickly followed.

"Marshal Han... there is something that the official wants to do, but he is afraid that his hands will get dirty. The old man wants to do it too, but he doesn't care. I don't know if you care or not?" Lu Yihao smiled.

"Lu Xianggong gave orders." Han Shizhong was a little embarrassed, and quickly handed over.

"Search home, kill people."

Lu Yihao spoke calmly. "The city defenses and checkpoints of the Yanyun Zhuzhou have been fully integrated into my hands... The local tribe is not the Jiedu Shi of the late Tang Dynasty, or some of the governors of the Five Dynasties of the Tang Dynasty. Every family has a foundation for hundreds of years, and all have private soldiers , There are countless domestic servants, and they can’t even hide their ordnance... But now they want military merits to teach the fields, the other four roads are nothing else. Where did the fields come from on Yanshan Road? Moreover, the two rivers are devastated, and they have to be compensated, and the rivers need to be treated. The money and food are also total. It's not too much!"

Han Shizhong woke up in an instant, Hu Yin wanted to say something for a while, but he didn't say anything.

"Point to the new army first, let them hand over their weapons, then inspect the land, check the hidden population, release the slaves, and finally clean up all the big ones in the name of Congni..." Lu Yihao glanced at Hu Mingzhong in the room , And then continue to speak. "As long as someone in the middle dares to make any disobedience, you will send troops directly and plan their possessions for hundreds of years!"

"Lu Xianggong, don't worry."

Han Liangchen patted his chest quickly. "Since the officials and Xianggong have this heart, is Shizhong still afraid of losing his reputation?"

"Hu Shangshu took the rest of the swordsmanship and seizure matters a little harder." Only then did Lu Yihao look at the theoretical master of the matter again. "Finally, the old man will do it himself."

Hu Yin reluctantly nodded.

"Manager Ma." Lu Yihao finally looked at Ma Kuo. "Yenjing and Fan Yang have a lot of military supplies seized... You have to work harder and provide Marshal Yue to go out and advance into the Liaodi."

"This is natural." Ma Kuo certainly didn't say anything extra about this task.

"There is another private matter, please ask Yu Xueshi for help~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Talking, Lu Yihao suddenly stood up on crutches, then squinted Yu Yunwen, who was hiding behind Fan Zongyin. "You tell the old man about Wei Wang privately. , The old man will not come forward... Please send him a party to Jinzhou... Either Taohua Island or Chrysanthemum Island (Juehua Island)... Anyway, he will catch the old man and Guo Yaoshi who fled to the island after hearing the old man’s message... It is said that the old man will not leave an overnight hatred, but the old man has remembered this matter for twelve years! Isn't it good for the old man, the chief governor of Hebei, to die? "

Yu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, and immediately bowed his head in response: "This matter is simple... Please also wait for the good news."

Lu Yihao nodded in satisfaction.

Two days later, Yue Fei, who had already left Yuguan, received the verbal message from Zhao Guan’s family behind him with the Red Heart Team. Then, without much hesitation, he stayed on the side of the road for a while, and then called two people temporarily: “Guo Jin, Yang Zaixing... The matter needs to be explained to the imperial front. You two have been to the imperial front, so please hand it over to you. It is enough to bring the two people... Li Fu Dutong (Li Bao) will send a boat to pick you up! Try to capture you alive! "

The military order has been issued, and with Yue Fei's strict rule of the army, although Guo Yang and Yang are unwilling to go to Laoshizi Juhua Island and Taohua Island, there is nothing to say.
