Chapter 314 Killable and Hateful

Luoyang, which has experienced several huge turbulences in a row, seems to be a little tired and weak. When the official returned to Beijing, there were not too many lively scenes. Today, there was a little light rain. On both sides of the wet and muddy streets, only a few people were watching. Looking at their expression, it was like a group of sparrows who were frightened and hurt in the rainstorm. They all shrank their necks and looked at the King of the Song Dynasty who came all the way with lingering fear. They were hesitating and speculating in their hearts. I don't know what will happen next? Did the Song Dynasty win or lose in Jiyuan? Luoyang, can it be guaranteed?

When Chu Tianya went all the way to the city, he took these expressions of the people in his eyes. He knew that what the Song Dynasty needed most now was not the victory of a war, nor the introduction of many national policies that supported the people and benefited the people, but... tranquility and stability.

War is always a double-edged sword. Whether it is victory or defeat, it will bring great harm to the people. The first is the casualties of people and the loss of property, as well as the fall of land and homes. The most serious is the hesitation and separation of people's hearts.

Once a country is unstable, it will really face the deepest crisis. Over the years, since the stubbornness of the heroine, the Song Dynasty has never been at peace. Frequent foreign wars and internal rebellions have plunged the rich and peaceful Song Dynasty into an unprecedented crisis. The demise of Liao had actually sounded the alarm for the Song Dynasty, but the emperor Zhao Ji, who was in power at that time, and a group of treacherous ministers around him who could be called "national thieves" did not pay attention to it. In contrast, the root of the demise of Liao at that time was due to the collapse of imperial power and political corruption. Emperor Tianzuo, the last emperor of the Liao Kingdom, was actually not as drooling as Zhao Ji, but Liao was unlucky, and they were stubborn about a Jurra clan. At the same time, the army of Liao is also more able to fight than that of the Song Dynasty, but they are still perishing. In just ten years, it was completely defeated militarily by the Jurchens in a purely barbaric way.

Prosperous countries are different, and there are always similarities between short-lived and demise dynasties. Before the invasion of the south, the Song Dynasty had actually begun to corrupt from the inside. Going up and down, starting from the emperor's recklessness to trigger the frivolity of the court, followed by the corruption of the whole officialdom and the degradation of the army. If it hadn't been for the strong economic foundation of the Song Dynasty, it would have collapsed as early as the Fangla Uprising.

For ordinary people, they actually don't care, or they don't care. For these many national events and national responsibilities, all they want is to have three meals a day. Previously, the economic construction of the Song Dynasty was quite excellent, and it really achieved "hide richness for the people". It is not an exaign to say that the Song Dynasty before the Jingkang Dynasty was the most prosperous dynasty in Chinese history. However, such a strong economic strength does not match the same powerful government and the army, which makes the rich Song Dynasty become the fat meat in the eyes of the enemy, and everyone competes to eat it.

If it hadn't been for Chu Tianya's unexpected stubbornness in Taiyuan, I'm afraid that everything would have evolved according to the original trajectory of history. Others don't know this, and Chu Tianya knows it. But the key point is also here. Emperor Zhao Ji, King Kang Zhao Gu and many officials will not think that Chu Tianya has saved this era and changed the fate of history. They only saw that Chu Tianya, a mountain thief, trampled on the imperial power of the Song Dynasty like a robber, covering the sky with one hand.

In the Song Dynasty, when Confucianism and science were highly developed, Chu Tianya's behavior could never be tolerated by doctors and scholars. Even if he has made countless great achievements, even if he has killed the real enemy many times and is recovering countless lands.

There is a kind of ruthless meanness in the character of reading, which is rooted in the education and edification they have received. To put it more simply, their three views are completely different from those of the group of people around Chu Tianya. They will think that even if the country is to be subjugated, the emperor should always be the emperor, not a puppet. The king of heaven and earth is second only to the gods of heaven and earth. How can he play and desphem?

Emperor Zhao Ji and King Kang Zhao Gu also took advantage of the psychology of many scholars and ordinary people. After arriving in the south of the Yangtze River, they kept advocating their remarks, saying how Chu Tianya bullied the emperor, confused the dynasty, and how domineering and suppressed Zhongliang. Many royal literati opened their eyes and criticized Chu Tianya in the south of the Yangtze River, inciting many ignorant and simple people to oppose Chu Tianya and support the officials.

Finally, the day after Chu Tianya's escort official went to Jiyuan for a personal expedition, something big happened in Hangzhou.

King Zhao Gu of Kang officially declared war on Chu Tianya on the grounds that "Chu Tianya took the emperor away from Beijing with the intention of leaving Beijing, and his intentions were malicious and he tried to abolish the emperor to stand on his own feet" - the reason was to get rid of the treacherous ministers and the Qing emperor!

Behind King Kang and Zhao Gu, there is the emperor. They issued such an edict with sufficient background and convincing reasons. Zhao Gu even fabricated a "secret edict" given by the official family, claiming that the reason why he accompanied the emperor to leave Beijing to the south of the Yangtze River was to come to the south to organize forces to fight against Chu Tianya with the will of the official family. The ultimate goal was to revive the imperial power and return the government to Zhao and Song.

In just a few days, in the areas of Jiangnan and Huaiyin with Hangzhou as the center, a large number of officials, soldiers and green forest people came to respond to Zhao Gu's crusade. Zhao Gu and others, who had been premeditated for a long time, easily pulled up nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses as they wished. After the autumn harvest, all the grain taxes and national taxes, as well as the rich treasury in various prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River, were used by them to arm the army and pull people up.

In just a few days, Zhao Gou's articles spread all over the south of the Yangtze River, and the responders gathered. With the Yangtze River as the boundary, almost all southern prefectures and counties have raised the banner of "Qing Jun's side, eliminating treacherous ministers" and actively joined Zhao Gou's army.

At that time, Chu Tianya received the Luoyang emergency report halfway, which was about this matter.

Zhao Gu's attack is faster than Chu Tianya expected. Obviously, he didn't want to take advantage of Chu Tianya's battle of Jiyuan and take care of these foreign enemies to free his hands to rectify the soldiers and horses, and then fight with Chu Tianya.

"Little man." After seeing the report, Chu Tianya scolded carelessly and threw the memorial far away on the spot.

This stunned Zhao Huan and others. In his opinion, I'm afraid there is nothing bigger than the rebellion of Emperor Tai and King Kang. The strong invasion of the Jurchens is not as good as that of their father and son.

But Chu Tianya clearly didn't pay attention to them. Even if they are in the south of the Yangtze River, they are already boiling and out of control.

Just when Chu Tianya and Zhao Huan walked into Luoyang, the 100,000 army led by Zhao Gu himself had been pulled out from Hangzhou and the target went straight to Tokyo.

Hearing the news, Chu Tianya smiled directly.

Hangzhou's military stupidity and incompetence directly made Chu Tianya laugh. If Zhao Gu could have more courage and courage before, and only wait for ten or twenty thousand light riders to go straight to the customs at the same time, Chu Tianya would really be more afraid. Because at that time, the Battle of Jiyuan was in full swing, Luoyang was indeed very empty. Moreover, if Zhao Gou really goes straight to Luoyang desperately, the people of the Song Dynasty will also believe that they really want to "clear the king side and kill treacherous ministers", because at this time, the officials and Chu Tianya are both in Luoyang.

But Zhao Gu is not so bold and does not have this military foresight. His eyes were still staring at the founding capital of the Song Dynasty. All he wanted was to grab back Tokyo and the golden dragon chair placed on the imperial city of Tokyo. As for the life and death of the official family and whether he can defeat Chu Tianya, he doesn't care at all, or dares to think about it at all.

Therefore, no matter how fierce Zhao Gu was, Chu Tianya didn't pay attention to him at all. He is convinced that once the hypocritical and selfish intentions of Hangzhou Group are exposed, they will naturally lose their supporters. Facts speak louder than words. The victory of Jiyuan is enough to mark the history of the Song Dynasty and even the whole of China. This can't be discredited and changed by Hangzhou Group's sophistry and fabrication.

In addition, Zhao Gu hated Chu Tianya from his heart, which was right; but at the same time, Zhao Gu was also afraid of Chu Tianya from his heart. In his early years, when he was still in Xiangzhou and Zhending, Zhao Gu vowed in his heart that he would not be with Chu Tianya; but the bravery and toughness of his army had already made Zhao Gou's heart frightened. Therefore, now, Zhao Gu only dares to take advantage of Chu Tianya's lack of skills and soldiers and horses to suddenly cast cold arrows behind him.

Once the good news of the battle of Jiyuan spread all over the world, Zhao Gu and others's ambition and opportunistic and tremsy will be fatally hit in an instant - Chu Tianya has finished cleaning up the real woman. Do you dare to fight with him on the battlefield?

With strength and confidence, Chu Tianya really can't think of such a reason why he is afraid of Zhao Gu's inciting trouble and rebelling.

But Zhao Huan and many courtiers don't think so. The incident of the uprising in the south of the Yangtze River has just spread, and they are all ownerless. So the first thing after returning to Luoyang was that all of them stayed Chu Tianya uninhumanely and did not allow him to return to the royal palace, and asked him to decide as soon as possible. Should he deal with the affairs of the south of the Yangtze River in this way?

"I am the master of the Song Dynasty, and Hangzhou is against me, that is, against the Song Dynasty." Chu Tianya said lightly, "No matter how high-sounding their reasons are, no matter how special their identities are, since they are fighting, it is a rebellion - so the first thing we have to do is to ask the officials to issue a holy edict to tell the world, denounce Zhao Ji and Zhao Gu and his son, and take them from the royal family. He was demoted to a commoner, and ordered the knowledgeable and brave people in the world to rise up against this unjust thief and protect the country and the people.

As soon as Chu Tianya said this, Zhao Huan's face was about to turn green. Although he has long been cold to his father and Zhao Gu's brother, he did not expect to remove them from the royal family and fight with them on the battlefield, causing the civil war in the Song Dynasty. At this moment, Zhao Huan's most direct idea is whether he can "concise" with Hangzhou?

After all, it's my own family, and it's all internal consumption, which makes outsiders see jokes and take advantage of it.

There are many people who have the same idea as Zhao Huan. Although they chose to follow the official Zhao Huan, Hangzhou is also the emperor! How long has it been since he abdiced? The talent left for a while, and the tea was not cold yet! No matter how unworthy Zhao Ji is, he is also the supreme emperor in their minds. How can he cut off his royal status and fight against him?

"What, you don't agree with me?" Chu Tianya asked with a slightly heavy face.

The whole audience was quiet, and no one talked to him. Zhao Huan didn't dare to say anything.

"Aiqing, it's not that I don't agree with your behavior. It's just that I think that this is the housework of the Song Dynasty. If you can value peace, it is the best policy. Zhao Huan finally summoned up his courage and showed a little "subjective opinion" in front of Chu Tianya. He said, "The emperor and King Kang may have misunderstood Aiqing. I don't know what you have made to the Song Dynasty. I can explain this to them. As long as you make it clear, I believe they won't make trouble. After all, I am the official of the Song Dynasty; they are not only my father and brother, but also my courtiers. In the end, you have to listen to me."

"Yes, yes, the official's words are reasonable." There will be many courtiers immediately.

"Haha!" Chu Tianya suddenly burst into laughter.

Everyone immediately shut up and didn't dare to breathe.

"Empties, you are benevolent and love the people like children, and you don't want the war to bring disaster to the Song Dynasty again. I admire this very much." Chu Tianya said, "But why do the officials only see the appearance, but not the real sinister intentions of Zhao Ji and his son?"

"What kind of sinister intentions can they have?" Zhao Huan was a little scared and whispered, "In the final analysis, they are all for the foundation of the Song Dynasty!"

"Empties, please forgive me for saying a big disrespectful words - the officials are really naive." Chu Tianya said with a serious expression, "Can you imagine that if Zhao Ji and his son are really for the foundation of the Song Dynasty and for the sake of officials, why don't they go straight to Luoyang, but point to Tokyo from afar? - Can't you see such an obvious intention? What they really want to do is not that Qingjun eliminates treacherous ministers, but to take them back. The imperial capital, take back the imperial power.

Zhao Huan was stunned, and this sentence directly reached his heart. The ministers present were also speechless.

"In addition. If Zhao Ji and his son really want to save the official family, why don't they care about the life or death of the official family at all? Chu Tianya sneered and said, "They clearly knew that the officials were with me all the time, but they pretended to be the officials in Hangzhou who gave a secret edict to make them fight against me. Isn't this forcing me, Chu, to hold a grudge against the official family and want to 'kill' the official family with the knife of Chu Tianya people?

A word "kill", Chu Tianya's words are very heavy, and his voice is also very long. Zhao Huan was so scared that he slipped and fell down directly from the dragon hall.

The scene suddenly became very tense, and an extremely murderous atmosphere made everyone present feel extremely depressed.

Chu Tianya's words are not forced to reason, but to reason. After a few words of explanation, he said the word "human heart" in a reasonable sense.

"From these two things, it can be seen that Zhao Ji and his son just came back to fight for imperial power under the banner of 'Qing Jun's side killing treacherous ministers'." Chu Tianya said, "And they were quite obscene and despicable when they chose the opportunity. When we fought to the death of Jiyuan and Wanyan Zonghan, and the defenses of Luoyang and Tokyo were very empty, they suddenly rose up to rebel. Officials and colleagues might as well look back. Just when we fought bloody battles with the enemy, and shed their blood for the sake of the Song Dynasty and the lives of the people, instead of giving a helping hand, they did evil behind our backs. First of all, they withheld the grain tax in the south of the Yangtze River and wanted to cut off the rations of our soldiers. Now, they have directly rebelled - where are they for the foundation and people of the Song Dynasty? They are clearly more hateful and murderable than the female enemy!!"

The four words "hateable and killable" roared out, and no one in the audience gasped loudly. Zhao Huan's face was as white as paper.

"To sum up, Weichen believes that Zhao Ji's father and son, who are brazen and shameless, harm the country and the people, must not be tolerated. Weichen went to the officials and was willing to ask the officials to allow Weichen to lead Jiyuan's triumphant division to fight against the rebels in the south of the Yangtze River!" Chu Tianya bumped into each other with his fists and said harshly, "If you don't kill the two thieves, you won't go back to the teacher!"

The words are sonorous, just like thunder!

......

When night fell, Chu Tianya just came out of Luoyang Palace. He rode a horse, his body was slightly bowed, and his face was full of fatigue.

The nobleman rode beside Chu Tianya and almost fell asleep. He narrowed his eyes and his body was a little wobbly. He hummed and said, "Master, those old men are really nagging. You just returned to Luoyang on an expedition. Before you sat down and took a sip of herbal tea, you were pulled by them and said endlessly. I really want to rush in and pull their beards and shut them up!"

"Ha ha!" Chu Tianya, Zhuque and others were all laughed at. There are noble people, as if they will never lack the breath of joy.

Chu Tianya's voice relaxed a little and said, "I can't blame them. It's quite a big deal. If you don't deal with it in time and as soon as possible, the Song Dynasty will be finished. We also have to die in the place where we are buried.

Everyone was stunned at the same time, "Is it so important?"

"What else?" Chu Tianya smiled tiredly, "Do you think I don't want to go home early and lie down early to rest? ...Well, I'm almost home!"

Everyone looked forward together. Indeed, it was almost to the Luoyang Palace, and the colorful lights hanging in front of the Palace could already be seen.

"It seems that the princess has already learned about the news that the master returned to Luoyang and hung the lanterns to celebrate." The rosefinch whispered, "This time I left the royal palace and came back. Although it was only a short period of more than ten days, it felt like ten years."

The inadvertent sentence of the rosefinch suddenly reminded Chu Tianya of many things that have happened these days.

I think of Bai Yu and Meng De. I also remembered that his wedding banquet with Xiao Linglong was only halfway through. He hid Xiao Linglong and He Bo in a small fishing village on the outskirts of Luoyang, and he had never met since.

"I miss you." Chu Tianya whispered to himself, so low that he could hardly hear it.
