Ranking Pass History: Inventory of the Top Ten Great Players in History

When Zhang Xianzhong appeared in the imperial palace in Lin'an, the first thing he did was look at his two adopted sons.

When he saw Zhang Dingguo standing in the queue of generals and Zhang Kewang standing in the queue of civilian officials, he immediately felt relieved.

At this time, several ministers of His Highness were having a heated debate.

Huaixi Governor Zhao Kui said loudly,
"Now that there is no owner in the Central Plains, it is a great opportunity for my Great Song Dynasty to recover the three capitals. You people are plausible. To put it bluntly, you are just as fearful of captives as tiger ears!"

After hearing Zhao Kui's words, Qiao Jianzhi, the political adviser, was furious and sprayed his saliva on Zhao Kui's face.

"Zhu Zi, even if you captured the Three Capitals, would you be able to hold them against the massive Mongol counterattack? Even if you could, how many troops would you need to defend? At least 20 elite troops would be needed to hold the Yellow River.

Zhuzi, let me ask you, do we have so many elite soldiers who can fight the Mongols in a wild war?

If all the elite soldiers from Jianghuai and Xiangfan were moved forward to the banks of the Yellow River, the internal frontier defense would be empty. Once the Mongols who are good at using cavalry take advantage of the gap, our Great Song Dynasty will be in danger! "

Right Prime Minister Zheng Qingzhi coughed and said in a deep voice,

"Qiao Jianzhi, your reasons are reasonable. If our army doesn't go north, do you think the Mongols won't go south? The Song army in Sichuan is still fighting the Mongols.

Now the Mongols are the weakest in the Central Plains. Taking all the land in Henan, guarding Tongguan, and sticking to the Yellow River is the current correct decision. "

Minister Wu Qian sneered,
"Zheng Xiang, of course we can capture the three capitals, but the crux of the problem is, how should we defend the three capitals? Today's Central Plains is not the Central Plains of Yue Wumu's time.

During Yue Wumu's Northern Expedition, there were still nearly ten million people in the Central Plains, and hundreds of thousands of loyal troops under his command.In today's Central Plains, the total population is less than 50.

Even if we capture the three capitals, if we can't get food locally, we won't be able to build the Central Plains into an anti-Mongolian point.

Still the same sentence, it is easy to take the three capitals, but difficult to keep the three capitals!It's better not to take it! "

Zhao Fan sneered, "After all, I'm still as scared as a tiger!"

Qiao Xingjian didn't want to argue with the Zhao brothers, so he bowed his hands to Zhang Xianzhong who was sitting on the throne and said,
"The Central Plains is easy to take but not easy to defend. I hope the officials will be cautious."

"Be careful with your mother!"

Zhang Xianzhong said a foul word.

"I want to fight Sanjing to protect the entire Song Dynasty. You are a political adviser, you know how to oppose it, and you don't do business. Donkey ball! I am your mother!"

Zhang Dingguo and Zhang Kewang both smiled when they heard that their adoptive father spoke the familiar Shaanxi dialect.

The other rough generals also smiled.

Qiao Xingjian's face flushed red, he said with a straight neck,

"Why do the officials humiliate the humble ministers and mothers? How can the officials have the slightest majesty of the Tian family?"

"My mother!"

Zhang Xianzhong scolded Qiao Xingjian, then scanned the civil servants who were eager to try, and said in a deep voice,

"Which donkey ball objected to Lao Tzu's entry into Luo?"

If it was a minister of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, seeing His Majesty say such a thing, he would have been silent for a long time, and shouted long live and holy.

But the Song Dynasty was too lenient to literati and officials, and the so-called 300 years of supporting scholars.

As long as you pass the Jinshi exam, you basically don't have to worry about losing your head.

As long as you don't raise your flag to rebel,

No matter how greedy you are when you are an official, you will be sent to a remote state and county at most, and you will never be beheaded.

The Song Dynasty's preferential treatment of scholar-bureaucrats created a splendid culture, but it also created the weakest Han Dynasty.

As much as Zhao Song was lenient to the literati, he was as good to the military generals.

Many generals who have made countless meritorious deeds will be mercilessly punished by civil officials if they make small mistakes occasionally.

Facing the murderous Zhang Xianzhong, except for Zhang Kewang and Zhao Kui and Zhao Fan brothers, almost all the civil servants stepped out of the queue and angrily reprimanded Zhang Xianzhong with a righteous face.

Jin Deok-soo, 56, was the harshest critic.

Zhen Dexiu is a scholar of Neo-Confucianism, and has always been known for his outspokenness and courage to remonstrate.

He showed the courage of Bao Zheng to scold Song Renzong angrily, walked to Zhang Xianzhong's court case, and said loudly,
"The actions of the officials today, the words of today, there is no such thing as a king!
Qiao Xingjian's persuasion to send troops into Luo is actually an old-fashioned way to seek the country.

Even if the officials don't appreciate Qiao Xingjian's words, they shouldn't insult Qiao Xingjian's mother.

Officials are so vulgar, how is it different from local hooligans?

The minister is here to persuade the officials to apologize to Mr. Qiao and withdraw their intention to send troops into Luo. "

"Did we hear correctly?"

Zhang Xianzhong looked at the gray-bearded Zhen Dexiu and sneered,
"Zhen Dexiu, are you confused? You asked me to apologize to Qiao Xingjian? We are the Son of Heaven."

"Emperors make mistakes too."

Zhen Dexiu did not retreat an inch, still looked directly at Zhang Xianzhong and said,
"If you make a mistake, you have to change your course."

Zhang Xianzhong suddenly laughed.

He laughed for a long time, then stood up, looked at His Highness and the group of upright civil servants, and said in a cold voice,
"Now I know how arrogant you literati are.

If you can use the courage you had to deal with me with the Mongols, I don’t have to say that I admit my mistake, it’s okay to kowtow to you.

But you are as fearful of captives as tigers, and you only dare to lose your temper at me, and you only dare to domineering at those generals who are fighting with foreign captives.

Lao Tzu respects the literati who really dare to fight Mongolia to the death.What I look down on the most is people like you.

Don't you want to show your integrity in the court?
Well.I want to see how brave you are?

Zhang Kewang! "

"Chen is here!"

Zhang Kewang stepped forward.

"Do you have a knife on you?"

"Have!"

"Then chop off two civil servants for me first, and let me see if they still dare to be arrogant?"

"Follow the order!"

Sun Kewang drew out his waist knife, wiped Qiao Xingjian's neck with one knife, and then swung the knife across, chopping Zhen Dexiu to the ground.

The chaotic hall suddenly fell silent, and there was no more sound.

Those loud and noisy civil servants suddenly suppressed their voices in their stomachs, like a group of landlubbers whose necks were strangled.

No civil servant dared to stand up and quarrel with the officials anymore.

Zhang Xianzhong twitched his nose, then waved his hands impatiently,
"Damn it, is there anyone else who is so scared to shit and pee? It's useless! I'll chop them all off!"

Zhang Dingguo hurriedly stood up and said loudly,

"Your Majesty, don't kill people. There must be civil servants in the court."

Zhang Xianzhong grinned and said,

"Dingguo, you go back to me. You are too ignorant. The Song Dynasty lacks everything, but there is no shortage of literati who want to be officials.

After killing all these soft bastards who are qualified to stand in the court, let's recruit a group of new people to be civil servants. "

Then he glared at Zhang Kewang and cursed again,
"Donkey ball! Don't give me a hand."

Zhang Kewang drew his saber in his hand, and ordered the guards standing on both sides of the golden hall,
"Your Majesty has an order to kill all civil servants in the palace! No one will be left behind! Then they ransacked their homes for me."

Good guy!
Less than an hour after Zhang Xianzhong became emperor, he killed all the civil servants who were qualified to stand in the golden palace.
