Chapter 14 Chapter Fourteen Sharpening the Knife
Guanzhong, known as Qinchuan for eight hundred miles, Weihan on the left, Longshu on the right, blocking mountains and rivers, and thousands of miles of fertile fields, the ancients called it "a golden city for thousands of miles, a country of abundance, the spine of the world, and the dragon head of the Central Plains".The capital of the Sui Empire was Chang'an, which was named Daxing. The Tang Empire replaced it, and it was still the capital of Chang'an. The capital of the emperors, bordering Wei River in the north, Feng River in the west, Ba River and Chan River in the east, and Zhongnan Mountain in the south, began to flourish. The pinnacle of prosperity.
However, after the decline of the Tang Dynasty, the metropolis of "Nine Heavens closed the palace and all nations worshiped the crown" was repeatedly invaded by foreign enemies and repeatedly destroyed in the flames of war. It gradually began to decline, but this decline is only relative. It's not all in decline. Although the conditions here are not as prosperous as Bianliang, it is still one of the best big cities.Zhao Kuangyin was ambitious, so he thought about moving the capital to Luoyang first, and then to Chang'an. However, his empire was inherited from the Later Zhou Dynasty, and his land was originally only near Bianliang. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were all around there. People, they opposed moving the capital, and naturally demoted Chang'an to nothing.
At this moment, there is a group of people coming from the south and entering Wuguan.Wuguan is an important pass in Guanzhong. The defenders here are more equipped and combat-strength than the Xiang army in other places. They are already considered elite among the Xiang army, but the troops who just arrived are more powerful than the Xiang army. Compared with them, they are even more clearly armored and strictly guarded.
After inspecting the documents, talismans, customs inspection and cooperation, the guard Yu Yang hurriedly opened the city gate and went out to greet him in person.The general who came here is a general of the imperial army, the former commander of the former commander of the palace, and now the third person in the Privy Council, General Luo Kedi Luo, no matter in terms of rank or status, this old general is incomparable in anything, why not? The truth of walking backwards.
This General Luo came from Chengdu. After he led his army to Sichuan, he first restored the order in the Bashu area. The powerful elite troops took the initiative to enter the mountains to carry out the encirclement and suppression, and deployed civilian archers on various traffic arteries in the periphery to intercept them, and the area of activity of the rebel army became smaller and smaller.
The living space is compressed, and the strategic depth becomes narrow. Officers and soldiers can easily block, disrupt and attack the actions of the rebel army. Once the strategic purpose of the officers and soldiers is completed and the encirclement is finally formed, they can be completely wiped out in a narrow area.
Unexpectedly, those mud-legged people were willing to give up their foundations, leaving a small group of troops to carry out mountain guerrilla warfare, and a large group of elites entered the Guanzhong before the officers and soldiers encircled them.Although Guanzhong is not as good as Bashu and can make them feel like a fish in water, the terrain of the Guanzhong Plain is not easy to encircle them. They have a larger space for activities and higher survivability.
As soon as the rebel army entered Guanzhong, all parts of Guanzhong immediately strengthened their defenses. Most of the cities in Guanzhong were the grand buildings of the Tang Dynasty a hundred years ago. What a decent resistance, so these cities that took tens of hundreds of years to complete were not demolished at a single order like the Bashu area, which played a very good defensive effect at this time.
The Xiang army stationed in the Guanzhong area has limited strength. If they take the initiative to fight, the greatest possibility is that they will be led by the nose by the rebels, exhausted, and take advantage of them. Therefore, as soon as the rebels entered the pass, Zhao Guangmei, who stayed behind in Chang'an, ordered the defenders in various places in the pass. Using the cities for defensive operations, the tens of thousands of rebel soldiers and horses cannot provide what they need in any small village. As long as the officers and soldiers guard the cities, these Shu people will become exhausted and hungry soldiers in a short time.
However, these newly arrived Shu people seemed to have eyes and ears in Guanzhong, and they could always accurately grasp where there were gentry and landlords and where there were many troops stationed.Not every gentry is willing to abandon their homes and businesses and move their families into the city, and the gentry and landlords like to stockpile food the most. Guanzhong is so big, and it is rumored that it is the rebels from Bashu, even if it is the local people in Guanzhong It is also impossible to grasp the information of the entire Guanzhong during the riots. Many mud-legged people will never leave their homes ten miles away in their entire lives. However, if the Bashu rebels have the help of God, they can always accurately grasp the information, and they will surely gain in every battle.
They will never touch a city with a heavy army. Once an army takes the initiative to attack, a small group of troops will attack and they will rely on their strength to eat them. Horses carry out a net-like encirclement and suppression, and they can appear in the rear of the officers and soldiers like ghosts and ghosts, attacking the already empty city.
During the encirclement and suppression for several months, the rebel army not only has not been weakened, but has grown stronger and stronger. There are even tens of thousands of horses, forming a cavalry force that can come and go like the wind, which is enough to fight the officers and soldiers head-on.At this time, the huge imperial army gathered from the Bashu area and marched towards Guanzhong.Originally, although the transfer of so many officers and soldiers was troublesome, it would not be later than today, but in order to prevent the rebels from fleeing back to Bashu again, they marched all the way, and Luo Ke made arrangements for the defense of Bashu all the way, and the speed suddenly accelerated in the past few days.
When King Qi was dispatched to Chang'an, he was frightened all the way, fearing that his brother would kill him.Now, bewitched by the housekeeper Hu Xi'er, he finally decided to fight for his life, but he became even more timid.Hearing that the imperial army had arrived in Guanzhong, Zhao Guangmei felt uneasy, and immediately called Hu Xier to discuss it.
After hearing this, Hu Xi'er smiled and said: "It turned out that it was because of this matter. Why did Qiantose panic? We expected the forbidden army to suppress the bandits. So what if they come? I will send someone to notify Tong Yu immediately and call them Go to the Qinling Mountains to avoid the limelight."
Seeing that Zhao Guangmei was still uneasy, Hu Xier was not without contempt, but she had to comfort her patiently: "You don't have to worry about Chitose, the forbidden army is here to suppress the bandits. The forbidden army suppresses the bandits, and we must cooperate with the army. You are the prince, although the forbidden army It's not your restraint, but no matter what you do, Na Luo Kedi has no reason to override the prince and make decisions without authorization.
Now Tong Yu's soldiers are strong and strong, and they can almost fight head-on with the officers and soldiers. In time, they will be a powerful army that can be controlled by you.The Xiang army in Guanzhong is now suffering repeated defeats. If it were not for your mediation, the prince, to cover up the crimes of the generals of the Xiang army, many generals would have been dismissed from office long ago.The harder Tong Yu fights, the more generals will have to take refuge in your sect, not to mention the future, even now, you are no longer an empty prince who is slaughtered by others. "
Zhao Guangmei gained a little bit of confidence after hearing this, and the pale expression on her face eased. Hu Xier said again: "Forbidden army to suppress bandits, you must rely on the strength of our army. No matter what action you take, Luo Kedi still has to report it to the prince." I know. If we want to send our army to help, then we can ask the imperial court for more military pay, food and grass, ordnance, and military equipment. They are here to strengthen the strength of the prince, and the prince should be happy."
Zhao Guangmei sighed dejectedly: "Oh! Guben didn't intend to covet the official throne, it's really... There are rumors among the people that the death of the first emperor was not due to a sudden illness, but it was because of the murderous hands. Guben doesn't believe it, after all, he is a brother of the same mother , how could he..., but Dezhao also died inexplicably, isn't it suspicious? Gu was cautious in Bianliang, fearing that the officials would catch him for something, but in the end he was sent to Chang'an. In fact, even if he dismissed him from the position of prince, Gu would not dare to have any objection, but he is afraid... as long as Gu lives, he will not let me go..."
Hu Xi'er said: "This is the end of the matter, so don't think too much about it. The nobles of the royal family, don't you have ambitions less than that of Hexi Yang Hao? As long as the great things can be achieved, the throne of the ninety-five supreme will be yours in the future. Who else dares to do it?" What can I ask of you? No matter how bad it is, as long as Guanzhong is occupied, the prince can break the ground and proclaim himself emperor, and occupy one side by himself."
Zhao Guangmei said dejectedly: "It's not easy to say, Hexi is not the territory of our Song Dynasty. There are mixed people living there, and they don't accept the education. It's easy to occupy one side and become king. But Guanzhong..."
Hu Xier cut his mouth and said: "The spine of the world in Guanzhong is the dragon head of the Central Plains. There are Dashan Pass in the west, Hangu Pass and Tongguan in the east, Wuguan in the south, and Jinsuo in the north. Barriers, fertile fields, rich people, fertile fields and thousands of miles, this is the land of Wang Xing. If it is not obstructed by the present, the first emperor would have made Chang'an the capital, and now the prince is left behind in Chang'an. Isn't this God's will? At the beginning, Qin was able to use Guandong to resist the six countries. Can't the prince do it?"
Although Zhao Guangmei was courageous, she was not completely ignorant. She immediately shook her head and said, "One moment and another, how can we compare it with each other. At the time of King Qin, the six eastern countries had their own plans, and Longyou Bashu was under the control of Qin State. There is the limit of Wushan and the middle of Guizhou; the east has the solidity of the letter; there is no worry about the future, and I have just turned my heart to the east. What is the situation now? Bashu is in the hands of the imperial court, and only Guanzhong is used. How can we talk about the world?"
Hu Xi'er said: "When the prince controls all of Guanzhong, can't he take Bashu from the south?"
Zhao Guangmei said with a sneer: "The Hu people in Longyou are all under the imperial court's control. Guanzhong and Longyou are now in the hands of the Hu people, and Xiongguan is outside. For this king, there is no danger. Even if Yaohan to the east is as stable as Mount Tai and can stop the imperial army from outside, the imperial court can still order the Longyou barbarians to attack my heart."
Seeing that Zhao Guangmei has agreed to accomplish the task together, but now he hesitates and looks forward to the future, Hu Xier feels great contempt in her heart. The dragon has nine sons, all of them are different. This person is not as many as Zhao Kuangyin, and he is even worse than his second brother Zhao Guangyi. I don't know why the old patriarch chose such a waste, but they invested a lot, but they couldn't stop easily.
As soon as Luo Kedi arrives in Chang'an, he will definitely come to see the King of Qi. If Luo Kedi can be reused by Zhao Guangyi and rely on him as his confidant, he must be an extremely alert person. If the King of Qi is in such a state, won't it arouse his suspicion? ?Thinking of this, Hu Xi'er had no choice but to reveal a little bit, to give him a reassurance, and said: "My lord, you just need to do a good job in the affairs of Guanzhong, as for Longyou, you don't have to worry at all."
Zhao Guangmei raised her head in surprise: "Oh? How do you say that?"
With a mysterious smile on her face, Hu Xi'er asked back: "Where does the lord think I got thousands of good horses for Tong Yu?"
Suddenly a confidant guard outside the door reported loudly: "Report, the prince is a thousand years old, the Privy Council officer Luo Kedi has led his troops to the city of Chang'an."
Zhao Guangmei was taken aback, and jumped up from the chair: "So fast?"
Hu Xi'er said: "The rebel army started in Bashu, and Bashu is in ruins. The imperial court doesn't want them to mess up Guanzhong again. Luo Ke's enemy is not kind, so I have to inform Tong Yu to make preparations. Your lord must be calm, if you are afraid of showing your feet, When you see him, just pretend to be sick and rest, forgive him for not daring to pester the prince."
Hu Xier left in a hurry after saying that, Zhao Guangmei looked at his back, recalling the sentence he asked just now, the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became: "What did he mean by that sentence just now? Did I cooperate with them from the beginning?" Was it wrong from the beginning? If one day the big plan is really granted, will I...will I just become a puppet in their hands?"
It's a pity that there is no turning back arrow when opening the bow, and he can no longer turn back at this time.
"Report, General Luo has already entered the city."
"Report, General Luo has come to Liushou Mansion."
A series of reports made Zhao Guangmei frowned. Although she would not go to pick him up in person as a prince, sending someone there was considered a respect and courtesy to Luo Kedi. Why is Luo Kedi so impatient?Straight into Chang'an City?
Zhao Guangmei was displeased, so she went back to the back house and changed into a formal official uniform, and rushed back to the front office. Just as she sat down, a guard reported that Luo Kedi had arrived outside the gate of the mansion. Zhao Guangmei hurriedly opened the middle door to welcome him in. Suddenly, dozens of well-armored guards surrounded a young general and walked in. Regardless of the clothes of the guards, Zhao Guangmei recognized them as soldiers from the imperial army, and all of these guards were over 1.9 meters tall. With such a size, there is no second army except the Forbidden Army. This army is definitely the elite army of the emperor's most direct line.
"Luo Kedi, a member of the Privy Council, pays homage to King Qi Qiansui."
When he saw Zhao Guangmei, Luo Kedi clasped his fists as a military salute.Zhao Guangmei gave her a hand, and said with a smile: "General Luo is free of courtesy. I am delighted to hear that the general entered the pass to help me put down the rebellion. I am really overjoyed. Hehe, the general has worked hard all the way, come here, please sit down .”
Luo Kedi thanked him, sat in the guest seat, looked at the tea served by the maid, and said straight to the point: "Your Majesty came to Guanzhong to suppress the bandits. The lower officials have thought of some countermeasures, and have to discuss with the prince, please retreat to the left and right."
"This person's temper is really a little anxious." Zhao Guangmei thought, waved her hand, the servant girl and servant immediately retreated, and as soon as the servants retreated, Luo Kedi immediately stood up, and took out a yellow shaft from his sleeve. Ling, with a big smile, said kindly: "There is a decree in Beijing, please accept the decree from King Qi."
Zhong Fang said: "After the imperial army entered Shu, the king of Qi must not be able to report all kinds of news to Tong Yu in a timely manner like now. Tong Yu's men are not yet the opponents of the imperial army. They should be informed to make preparations early and avoid entering as a last resort. Longyou, what does General Yang think?" Yang Jiye said regretfully: "If you ask me, I think they should go back to Bashu. With Wang Xiaobo coming from the inside, even if the Song army laid many passes along the road, they would never be able to stop them. There are so many troops in the imperial court, and it is not easy to mobilize them once. Let them lead the imperial army back and forth to Bashu Pass by the nose, so as to consume their strength. Your Majesty already owns Hexi, and Longyou has already deployed, so Bashu is especially important. Think back to the beginning, when Qin wanted to annex the six kingdoms, he swallowed Bashu first, and Han Gaozu also occupied Bashu first, all in Nanzheng, out of Chencang, established the Three Qin Dynasty, fought between Xingyang and Chenggao, and the world then returned to Han.Jin wanted to destroy Wu; Huan Wen and Liu Yu made northern expeditions; Fu Jian plotted Jin; Yu Wentai destroyed Liang; Keping in the south of the Yangtze River, fight for the world based on Bashu, the top one is enough to be king, and the next one is enough to be hegemony.It's a pity that the king has no intention of going to the Central Plains. " Zhong Fang smiled and said: "Longyou overlooks Guanzhong, and its wings cover Qinlong. As long as we get Longyou, why worry about Guanzhong? If Guanzhong is in our hands, Bashu is nothing more than fish and meat. Right now, even if Tong Yu and the others can return to Bashu, they can't let them go. When they go back, now is the time to create a situation of peace in the universe and peace in the world for Song. Zhao Guangyi is not a contented person, nor is he a contented person. Only by letting him take care of himself will his ambitions inflate extremely, and he can't wait to start the war again. Now we have to act according to his wink. If the official Zhao family doesn't move, we won't even be able to move Longyou, wouldn't Bashu be even more out of reach?Hehe, don't worry, stand on your feet and come step by step! " Zhao Guangyi made a move, but Zhao Guan's family didn't move, and it was a big move that shook the capital. He set off a vigorous cleansing movement in the entire Tokyo city. Two months ago, Zhang Ji, a political adviser, played a role in Chang'an Qi Wang's communication with Luoyang Zhao Pu. The officials were very displeased and ordered a thorough investigation.Not long after, a secretary reported that a large number of letters from traffic officials were found in Zhao Pu's home, and that King Qi's acquaintance with Zhao Pu was true. Surprisingly, Pingzhang Lu Duoxun was also included.Lu Duoxun was summoned into the palace by the emperor and scolded him sternly, but he was scared and dared not speak up. After returning home, he wrote a letter of confession overnight, asking for punishment. After the incident spread, it became the talk of many officials after dinner, but it did not attract enough attention.This matter can be big or small. If it is small, it is just selfishness, and if it is large, it is a clique. But even if it is a clique, they have not formed any substantial interest groups, and they have not caused much harm. Ludo Xun has already made a plea, and the most serious result is a demotion and a fine. No one realizes that this is the beginning of a big storm. Half a month later, the officials who investigated the matter publicly reported that Zhao Guangmei had privately stockpiled grain, bought weapons, and made friends with generals. Wang Zhao Guangmei made friends with the local people, did nothing after drinking, criticized the court, disrespected the king, and had a heart of disobedience.Zhao Guangyi stayed in the middle school but did not send out.Ignored. But Lu Duosun had already sensed that something was wrong, and he turned his face down that day, his face ashen-colored. The next day at the court meeting, forty-seven people including the crown prince Li Sichen, Zhongshu servant Yue Jinhua and others jointly participated in the court meeting, not only impeaching the emperor's brother and Zhao Pu, but also pleading guilty not long ago, admitting that he had been involved with the court. Lu Duoxun, who was closely related to Zhao Pu, said in the impeachment report: "I would like to respect Lu Duoxun's case and Zhao Pu's case. I am in the chief minister, have a good look at my heart, send officials in secret, make friends with the prince, and understand the language. Cursing the father of the king, who is rebellious and immoral, and the discipline is chaotic. He owes the country's favor and owes his ministers. It is appropriate to anoint the ax and the ax to punish the seal. Please follow the judgment of the minister, and deprive the official ranks in the body, and punish them according to the law. King Qin Tingmei, please also deal with Lu Duoxun, and sit down with him, and hope that the law will be dismissed." Zhao Guangyi refused, and said at the court meeting that Zhao Pu made great contributions to the founding of the country and worked hard; the emperor's younger brother Guangmei was filial and filial; Therefore, he reprimanded Li Sichen, the grand master, and Yue Jinhua, the servant of Zhongshu, but rejected them. The words of the officials are beautiful, and the deeds are full of protection for the emperor and veterans, but this memorial impeached three people, Zhao Guangmei, Lu Duoxun, and Zhao Pu. The first official, one is the first official of the former dynasty, and the other is the only prince in the royal family. The three of them have been wiped out in one go, and forty-seven people have jointly signed the petition.Who is supporting them behind the scenes? There are no stupid people in the officialdom. At this time, no matter how ignorant and ignorant people are, they can smell it.The next day, the impeachment team continued to expand, and there were 127 people, setting a record since the founding of the Song Dynasty.Even if the imperial court holds a grand court meeting, it is impossible for so many officials to stand in the court hall. Many of them are not qualified to go to the court at all. There is another one who is the head of the food department, and I don't know how this master chef in charge of the kitchen found out that the prince and the prime minister had mischievous intentions. The snow flakes of the memorial table are usually presented up. Zhao Guangyi made enough gestures, and then he issued an edict: "The minister is the king, and the second is to be punished. If the subordinate seeks the superior, the general will be punished. Pingzhang is Lu Duoxun, and Pingzhang is the same. The matter of Zhao Pu, since the previous dynasty, he was promoted to participate in the great government, and he was given to the imperial court to serve as Zheng Taiheng. He was in Xietiao and served as the assistant prime minister. Yu, making friends with the feudal mansion, a big rebellion... I still want to try to occupy an important position, serve the Ming court for a long time, and be extremely lenient in the punishment of the family, and stop using the code of desertion. In fact, you are responsible, and it is I who have no grace.Among them, Lu Duoxun and Zhao Pu were given official titles and three generations of titles, and their wives were given official titles, and they were used to seize and destroy them.Relatives of Lu Duoxun's family were assigned to Liuyazhou, and relatives of Zhao Pu's family were assigned to Liuyuanzhou.It is not limited to the amount of the dispatch from Chiyi, even after the amnesty.The slaves and maids let it go.I follow the advice of all the officials..." These two prime ministers, one was dispatched to Guangdong, the other was dispatched to Sichuan, and they were all sent away by him. As for Qi Wang Zhao Guangmei, he issued an edict to take it back to Beijing, cut his prince, demote him to a duke, confine him in his mansion, and never participate in politics. .In fact, when Zhao Guangyi issued the edict, Luo Kedi had already entered the Mingde Gate of Chang'an City with a secret edict... Since the case of collusion between the prince and the prime minister involves treason, it is natural to investigate thoroughly. There are more than one or two officials in each of these three people, especially Ludoxun, who is now the serving prime minister, and he has a close or close relationship with him. There are more civil and military officials who come and go, as long as they are involved in this kind of crime, their fate can be imagined. At this time, as long as they don't kill their heads, they are extrajudicial favors. Who dares to make irresponsible remarks. When everyone was in danger, someone suddenly thought of Luo Gongming who had retired with honor. This old guy really has a sharper nose than anyone else!Unfortunately, it is too late to realize now. "I want to be with Ruo, lead the yellow dog again, and go out to Shangcai Dongmen to chase the cunning rabbit. How can I get it?" Now there is only such a prince in the Song Dynasty, and he will be escorted back to Beijing, and the prince will be imprisoned. Probably Zhao Guangyi also felt that this was done too badly, and he was a little embarrassed. Then suddenly a proposal was brought up again: Tai Fu Zong Jiezhou and others invited the Prince Defang to join the matter. Jia Yan and other officials from Jin Wangqian's residence agreed with one voice, and the bill was passed as quickly as possible. Zhao Guangyi, who was sharpening his sword, suddenly pretended to be a blessing from the heavenly official again. Princess Yongqing, who said that the officials wanted King Qi to return to the capital, seemed to be back from the dead, and suddenly discovered that there was still a chance of life!
Zhong Fang said: "After the imperial army entered Shu, the king of Qi must not be able to report all kinds of news to Tong Yu in a timely manner like now. Tong Yu's men are not yet the opponents of the imperial army. They should be informed to make preparations early and avoid entering as a last resort. Longyou, what does General Yang think?"

Since the case of collusion between the prince and the prime minister involves treason, it is natural to investigate thoroughly. There are more than one or two officials in each of these three people, especially Ludoxun, who is now the serving prime minister, and he has a close or close relationship with him. There are more civil and military officials who come and go, as long as they are involved in this kind of crime, their fate can be imagined. At this time, as long as they don't kill their heads, they are extrajudicial favors. Who dares to make irresponsible remarks. When everyone was in danger, someone suddenly thought of Luo Gongming who had retired with honor. This old guy really has a sharper nose than anyone else!Unfortunately, it is too late to realize now. "I want to be with Ruo, lead the yellow dog again, and go out to Shangcai Dongmen to chase the cunning rabbit. How can I get it?" Now there is only such a prince in the Song Dynasty, and he will be escorted back to Beijing, and the prince will be imprisoned. Probably Zhao Guangyi also felt that this was done too badly, and he was a little embarrassed. Then suddenly a proposal was brought up again: Tai Fu Zong Jiezhou and others invited the Prince Defang to join the matter. Jia Yan and other officials from Jin Wangqian's residence agreed with one voice, and the bill was passed as quickly as possible. Zhao Guangyi, who was sharpening his sword, suddenly pretended to be a blessing from the heavenly official again. Princess Yongqing, who said that the officials wanted King Qi to return to the capital, seemed to be back from the dead, and suddenly discovered that there was still a chance of life!
