Chapter 193 Moisturizing Things Silent
Luoyang was once the Xijing of the Song Dynasty, and the Zhao and Song Dynasty still had a deep background here, which was not comparable to that of a foreigner in Song and Qing.
Not far from the new royal palace built by Li Yun for Song Qing, it is also a staggered house. The house is deep, and there are all kinds of pavilions and pavilions in it. Obviously, it is also a noble family. It is Chen Tai, the former Privy Councillor of the Song Dynasty, who lived here.
Chen Tai has been more than 70 years old this year, but he is still energetic. As a former senior official of the imperial court who has received the education of loyalty and forgiveness since childhood, although he has already withdrawn from the center of the Song Dynasty, he still pays attention to the changes of the imperial court.
When Song Qing entered Bianliang in Tokyo, he once told people that Song Qing was a traitor who harmed the world. However, he had enough strength and could only sigh.
But I didn't expect Song Qing to reach out to Luoyang again. It was unbearable and unbearable.
He originally wanted to rely on his prestige in the previous dynasty to drive Luoyang Sima to send troops to drive the Liangshan people out of Luoyang.
But this Luoyang Sima is not only afraid of Liangshan people like a tiger, but also is pulled by Liangshan Shixiu to drink from time to time. The two now have to cut off chicken heads with yellow paper. He refused to send troops to drive Liangshan people out!
In his words, King Liang is the prince of His Majesty. He is a small Sima. What right does he have to drive him away? If it hadn't been for the friendship with you, Lord Chen for many years, I would have sold the old man to Shi Xiu as a gift.
Luoyang Sima's words made Old Lord Chen's beard grow tall, but he had no choice. Who let him have no soldiers in his hand!
At this time, a former student came to the Lin'an court. This person came to Luoyang to visit his mentor, and then to investigate the matter that King Liang wanted to settle in Luoyang.
According to his words, the court did not want to rectify Song Qing, but had no choice but to collect evidence of the evil of King Liang for future use.
Old Lord Chen is very disapproving of this incompetent act of the Lin'an court, and will he still leave it for the future? If you wait any longer, Song Qing will go to Lin'an to build the royal palace. What will you do then?
The old man pondered for a long time and ordered his other student, the current Luoyang magistrate, to find him. The two discussed for a long time, so there was a conspiracy against Song Qing.
According to the arrangement of old man Chen, it is to fabricate a Liangshan man and then push everything on him, so that even if Liangshan investigates it in the future, they have room for manoeuvre.
The old man's strategy is not poisonous. Don't Song Qing always claim that you are the master of the people and don't bully good? What else do you say this time? What else do you look like to face your fellow villagers in Henan?
Old Chen's mind was still stuck in the previous mode, but he didn't expect Liang Shan to play cards according to the routine and directly captured the Luoyang magistrate. If it hadn't been for his relationship with Luoyang governor as a master and apprentice, Luoyang governor would have explained him to him.
The magistrate of Luoyang was captured by ordinary soldiers brought by Shi Xiu. They can't ask anything with torture, which does not mean that those torture masters under Cao Zheng can't ask anything.
That night, the whole family of the Luoyang magistrate was brought to the Luoyang magistrate. In a word, he let his whole family go. If he refused to do so, he would kill his family one by one. In order to let the governor of Luoyang know that he was not scaring him, the internal guard of the torture ordered two of his servants to be cut down first.
This time, the governor of Luoyang completely collapsed and called out the teacher crying and howling.
Cao Zheng, who got the answer, also kept his word and sent his family to Laizhou to reclaim the wasteland. However, Cao Zheng did not make the decision on how to deal with old man Chen, because the old man's interpersonal relationship is too complicated. Now many local officials who work for Liang Shan are from his family. If one is not dealt with well, it is easy to cause other things.
Therefore, Cao Zheng sent the confession of Luoyang magistrate and the evidence collected to the house of Song Qing in Jinan City.
Song Qing is also a little embarrassed about the treatment of such a person, but if he doesn't mean anything, won't everyone dare to bully himself in the future?
If you deal with such a loyal old stubborn man in the Song Dynasty, it will definitely have no effect.
After meditating for a long time, Song Qing somehow came up with that murder song again.
"The hero is different. See through the name of thousands of years of benevolence and righteousness, but make this life show its hero. Five thousand years in the world, where heroes do not kill"
Alas! I would have lit the moon in my heart, but the moon shone on the ditch.
Song Qing couldn't help sighing, picked up the pen and put a red cross on Chen Tai's name, and ordered someone to send it to Cao Zheng as soon as possible. Then he sent an order to Chen Dong to take over the post of governor of Luoyang immediately.
In fact, Cao Zheng has long thought of this result, and he has always had an idea in his mind that anyone who threatens the rule of Song Qing must be resolutely eliminated.
Late that night, Chen Tai's house somehow ignited a fire. The fire burned all night and could not be extinguished. The next day, after the fire went out, someone went in to see if there were any survivors, but found that more than 100 people in Chen's house had died tragically in the fire. That's a tragedy.
There are many versions of this sudden fire afterwards. Some say that the Chen family offended the gods and burned the whole family by the divine fire, and some say that they offended Jiang Yang thieves when they were officials in their early years before they were killed.
In short, no one believes that the fire was man-made, because if someone deliberately set fire, no one in their family would be able to escape.
Only Luoyang Sima Yinyin guessed that Lord Chen's death was probably the work of Liang Shan, but he didn't dare to talk nonsense. He still wanted to live two more years!
So after the new governor Chen Dong took office, this smart Sima took the initiative to resign and went home for retirement.
Chen Dong did not retain him. According to Song Qing's will, he rewarded this Sima, and then appointed Shi Xiu as Luoyang Sima, Premier Luoyang Military Affairs.
Then Chen Dongzhang told the people that the previous draft was completely deliberately framed by Liang Wang Qiansui. King Liang had never made such a will, and there will not be in the future.
Not to mention that, Chen Dong beheaded several officials who assisted the former magistrate in collecting women in the vegetable market in front of the people of the whole city.
These officials may be wronged, but there is nothing they can do. Who will let them participate? It can only be said that they are unlucky.
Chen Dong's vigorous behavior was deeply appreciated by Song Qing, which also reminds him of this matter. At the same time, he sent a decree to Zhu Wu and Cao Zheng to pay more attention to the affairs between the market in the future and pay attention to the usual public opinion guidance of the people, so that once there is an incident, he will not be so passive.
Unconsciously, Luoyang fell under the control of Song Qing. In fact, he can control Luoyang so easily, mainly due to the incompetence of Zhao Huan's court.
For example, the governor of Zhengzhou, which is separated from Kaifeng Prefecture, saw the combination of King Liang in Henan, and the Lin'an court did not even dare to fart. He still don't know how to choose?
The report form was sent to the king of Liang in Jinan as soon as possible and swore allegiance to the king of Liang. Although he did not clearly draw a clear line with the Lin'an court, it was probably impossible for Zhao Huan to command the officials of Zhengzhou again.
So far, the Liangshan forces led by Song Qing have occupied the whole territory of Shandong, Hebei and Hedong, as well as the four prefectures of Kaifeng, Zhengzhou, Mengzhou and Henan. Nearly half of the land of the Song Dynasty is already under the control of Song Qing.
But Song Qing also knows that he seems to be strong at present, but in fact he is also very fragile. The main reason is that he has a good opportunity. Otherwise, I'm afraid he will not stop so much if the surrounding powers unite.
Now Song Qing thinks most about how to get more time to cultivate every day.
In the heavy snow, the new year is coming.
At this time, Shangjing, located in the northeast, is even more icy. If you stand outside for a while and don't warm up, you may freeze to death. If you stand and soak, you have to pee while pulling with a stick, otherwise it is easy to freeze the chicken together.
In this weather, no one believes that Wanyan Keer will escape unless she doesn't want to live, so the people who monitor her finally relax their vigilance.
But I don't know that the inner guard has been preparing for this day for nearly two years.
They first replaced Wanyan Keer with a person who looked like Wanyan Keer, and then changed Wanyan Keer into someone else's appearance and sent her out of the city. It was not until Wanyan Keer went far away, and the person who became her changed back to her original appearance, and then left Wanyan Keer's mansion calmly. It's easy and unbelievable.
In this way, a simple but thrilling plan was successfully completed. The guards didn't find Wanyan Ke'er until two days later that Wanyan Ke'er had disappeared.
Who dares to hide such a big thing? So it was reported layer by layer, and finally reported to Wu Qimai.
Wu Qimai was furious and executed all the guards guarding Wanyan Keer. On the one hand, he sent people to chase his daughter, and on the other hand, he ordered Wanyan Xiyin to rectify the soldiers and horses and prepare to attack the Central Plains again.
Seeing that the New Year is coming, who is willing to go on an expedition at this time? But seeing that the emperor was in anger, no one dared to persuade him. He could only find all kinds of reasons to prevaricate Wu Qi's purchase, hoping that he would take back the emperor's order. Even if he was on an expedition at the beginning of spring!
In fact, Wu Qimai didn't know that it was not easy to send troops at this time, but as an emperor, he lost such a lot of face. If he didn't show it, wouldn't he be laughed at?
Just when Wu Qimai was looking for a step down, Song Qing took the initiative to give him a step. A handwritten letter from Song Qing was forwarded by a businessman from the State of Jin.
The content of the letter is a little confusing. The letter said that Liangshan's army is scheduled to hold a military exercise in Liangshanshuibo in May next year, and sincerely invites Jin to send an envoy to observe.
Wu Qimai was puzzled with this letter. What on earth does Song Qing want to do? Doing military exercises? Do you still want us to send a mission to observe? Do I know you well?
Thinking back, Song Qing's letter undoubtedly gave him an excuse not to leave the army for the time being. It was decreed that people from all walks of life should return to the station to see what Song Qing was doing in the coming year, and then send troops to destroy Song Qing.
Of course, it was not only Wu Qimai who received this invitation letter, but also Li Ren'ai of Xixia and Zhao Huan of the Song Dynasty.
These people almost all have the same idea as Wu Qi, and no one can guess what Song Qing wants to do.
Can they guess Song Qing's mind? However, his mind is now focused on Ke'er, who is about to return to his arms.
I haven't seen you for two years. I don't know if Yiren is safe?
