Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

In the eyes of the ruler, the exiles sent to Hainan had to risk their lives to get there.

Therefore, during the Tang and Song Dynasties, all criminal officials who the emperor wanted to execute but could not directly kill with a knife would be demoted to Yazhou and use Tianwei to obliterate the other party.

But for Tong Guan, Zhao Huan and his ministers did not dare to completely rely on the sea to kill him.In order to be safe, of course, people had to be hunted down.

Not long after Tong Guan left Yingzhou, Emperor Zhao Huan issued an imperial edict listing his top ten crimes, ordering the inspector censor Zhang Cheng to chase him along the route he was walking, and behead him on the way.

However, this time something went wrong.When Tong Guan crossed Meiling and entered Nanxiong Prefecture, he was attacked by bandits, leaving no bones left.

Even Zhang Cheng, the inspector censor, was attacked and killed in the mountain road.

How rampant are the bandits in Nanling!

Chapter 9 Thirteen: The Battle of Liwei

Not only Tong Guan was attacked by bandits and bandits and disappeared into the mountains, but Zhao Liangsi, who had been demoted to Chenzhou before, also fell into the water accidentally and was washed away.

Soon after the incident, the envoy sent by the imperial court to execute Zhao Liangsi arrived in Chenzhou, but he didn't even see Zhao Liangsi.

The envoy read to the prefect of Chenzhou the decree of beheading Zhao Liangsi, and asked the prefect of Chenzhou for important persons.

The prefect of Chenzhou complained endlessly, and arranged many fishing boats to salvage in the Chenjiang River. After several days of busy work, they found nothing.

Everyone said that Zhao Liangsi's body might have rushed to the lower reaches of the Xiangjiang River, how could it be salvaged?

The capital came to make him helpless, so he could only give up and return to Beijing empty-handed.

The accident between Tong Guan and Zhao Liangsi was of course man-made.The two of them are currently under the protection of Luan Tingyu and Qiao Yun, sneaking to the seaside of Guangnan East Road, and the fleet of "Living Flash" Wang Dingliu will pick them up and head north.

The censor Zhang Cheng was really unlucky. In order to get the imperial edict to kill Tong Guan, Luan Tingyu had to pretend to be a bandit and wipe out his team.

In the past, Luan Tingyu did not participate in these secret operations of Ximen Qing, and he was more likely to sit in Yanggu County as a general second only to Ximen Qing.

But Luan Tingyu is from Yazhou, and he knows Yazhou, Guangnan Road and other places like the back of his hand, so Ximenqing arranged for him to carry out the plan of saving people from thousands of miles away, and Luan Tingyu led the team to implement it.

This time, Ximen Qing specially arranged for Tong Guan and Zhao Liangsi to be rescued, of course because they are still useful to Ximen Qing's future career.

On the ship, Tong Guan saw the imperial decree that Luan Tingyu had snatched back, and realized that he and Emperor Zhao Huan were inseparable, and there was no way out.

In the Song court, Tong Guan and Zhao Liangsi no longer had a place to stand. After Tong Guan met his old subordinate Zhao Liangsi, it seemed like a world away for a while, and he sighed endlessly.

Luan Tingyu did not hide it from the two of them, and directly told them that it was the senior official Ximen Qing who helped them, and hoped that the two of them could contribute to the senior official in the future.

When Ximenqing sent people to Chenzhou with Zhao Liangsi, it was because Zhao Huan, the dog emperor, would anger Zhao Liangsi because of the Jin army's southern invasion, and specially arranged for his subordinates to protect him.

Therefore, Zhao Liangsi was already prepared for Ximen Qing to rescue him.After confirming Ximen Qing's intention at this moment, Zhao Liangsi felt relieved.

Back then, Zhao Liangsi betrayed the Liao Kingdom for the sake of the Song Dynasty, but was killed by the Song Dynasty and abandoned without hesitation.

Today, Zhao Liangsi's hatred for the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty is far greater than the hatred for Emperor Tianzuo of Liao Kingdom.

Zhao Liangsi was no stranger to Ximen Qing. He had already sensed that Ximen Qing was going to do something big from Ximen Qing's actions in rescuing himself and Tong Taiwei without hesitating to kill the officials.

Could it be that Brother Ximenqing wants to rebel and overthrow the imperial court?

Others don't know, but Zhao Liangsi knows how much influence Ximen Qing has in the Kingdom of Jin.If there is the cooperation of the Jin army, it will not be difficult for Ximen Qing to overthrow the imperial court and change the dynasty!

Hahaha~ There is no unparalleled road, and my ability, Zhao Liangsi, can be used again!

With a bold guess in Zhao Liangsi's mind, his whole body was shocked, and he told his old boss Tong Guan about the heroic legend of Ximen Qing in Yanggu County, Shandong.

Luan Tingyu ignored the conversation between Tong Guan and Zhao Liangsi in the cabin.After the fleet goes north, the two of them will be placed on an island base in the East China Sea.

After the Ximenqing brothers felt that the time was right, they would let them leave the island and reappear in front of the world.

Until then, there is no need to worry about leaking secrets and exposing the whereabouts of the two.

Under the blue sea and blue sky, a fleet left Guangnan East Road along the coastline and entered the waters of Fujian Road.

……

Without seeing the heads of Tong Guan and Zhao Liangsi, Emperor Zhao Huan and Geng Nanzhong felt doubts in their hearts.

However, Chenzhou, Yingzhou, Nanxiong Prefecture and other places are all remote places in Nanling. Even if Zhao Huan and others suspected that Tong Guan and Tong Guan were not dead, they could not turn over the Nanling Mountains.Although there is no body to be found, Tong Guan's remaining political influence can be eliminated after the news of Tong Guan's death is announced to the world.

In any case, the princelings had achieved great success, all the ministers in the court who were close to the Supreme Emperor had been purged, and Zhao Huan's throne had been firmly secured. This was a good thing to celebrate.

It's just that the "six thieves" have been eliminated, and there is no need for Tai students to write letters and criticize the imperial court's policies.

Next, it's time to deal with those Tai Academy students who took the lead in making trouble.

In the court, ministers Cai Mao, Li Yue and others suggested that these imperial students who dared to make trouble should be dealt with seriously, and those who should be arrested and killed should be killed, so as to make an example of others.

When Kaifeng Yin Nieshan heard about it, he quickly wrote a letter to plead for mercy, saying that those Tai students were also for the sake of the country and the country, and did not intend to cause chaos, and asked His Majesty the emperor to pardon him.

Taking into account the hearts of the people in the world, Emperor Zhao Huan finally approved Nie Shan's letter and pardoned the troubled Tai students.

However, according to the order of the imperial court, the Kaifeng government still posted a notice at the entrance of the Taiyuan Academy, warning the Taiyuan students not to gather crowds to make trouble.The announcement said that if anyone takes the opportunity of admonishment to threaten the Holy Majesty, they will be executed and will not be tolerated.

Facing the ban of the imperial court, although the Tai students dared not gather together to write a letter, their dissatisfaction with the imperial court's suppression of them quietly spread from Bianliang City, Tokyo.The reputation of the new emperor Zhao Huan among the people tended to decline.

At the same time, the bloody cleansing of the remaining party by the princelings also broke the political tradition of the Song Dynasty not to kill ministers.Although the civil and military officials were superficially suppressed and did not dare to say anything, the new emperor Zhao Huan left a bad impression of being mean and unkind to officials and scholar-bureaucrats everywhere.

After all, everyone came out to be an official, and no one wanted to risk their lives. If the tradition of not killing ministers was broken, wouldn't everyone be in danger?

On the surface, the emperor's killing of the so-called "six thieves" was a joy for everyone, but in fact, the prestige of the new emperor Zhao Huan in the court and the opposition was silently declining.

Zhao Huan knew that if he wanted to restore his reputation, he had to do something in the war against Jin. Therefore, he had to send troops to repel the Jin army and break the siege of Taiyuan, Zhongshan, and Hejian.

Therefore, the emperor Zhao Huan reused the ministers of the main battle group, and at the same time appointed Yao Gu as the envoy of Hebei and Hedong, and Zhongshi as the deputy envoy of Hebei and Hedong. Rescue Zhongshan and Hejian.

At this time, the Wanyan Yinshu Ke Department of the Jin Army who stayed in Taiyuan had already wiped out the outer counties of Taiyuan, and successively captured Wenshui, Xidugu, Qixian, Taigu, Yuxian and other places with partial divisions, and defeated the soldiers ordered to rescue them at the same time. Fan Kui, Shi Shen, and Gao Feng, the local troops of the Song Army in Taiyuan.

After Yao Gu, the envoy of Hebei and Hedong, took the order, he led the army to attack Longde Mansion first.Yao Gujun easily regained the Longde Mansion and the Weisheng Army without any resistance, and the army's power was greatly boosted for a while.

Emperor Zhao Huan, Li Gang and other ministers in Bianliang City in Tokyo were overjoyed after receiving the good news from Yao Gujun, thinking that the Jin army was nothing more than that, and the day to recover Taiyuan was at hand.

Chapter 9 Fourteen

How did Zhao Huanjun and his ministers in Bianliang City know that Yao Gujun was able to easily recover Longde Mansion and Weisheng Army?

When Yan Zonghan met Lu Yundi, he learned that the Jin and Song Dynasties had negotiated peace, and after the Song Dynasty ceded the three towns of Taiyuan, Zhongshan, and Hejian, he led the troops to withdraw from the Longde Mansion and the Weisheng Army.

Because according to the agreement between the two countries, both the Longde Mansion and the Weisheng Army belonged to the territory of the Song Dynasty.After Yan Zonghan confirmed the peace agreement, he immediately withdrew the Jin army from these two places to show his sincerity in abiding by the peace agreement between the two countries.

After the Jin army withdrew, only local officials temporarily appointed by the Jin army remained in Longde Mansion and Weisheng Army to maintain order.

Before Wanyan Zonghan left, he specially issued an ultimatum to the Song Dynasty in the name of the Marshal's Mansion, requesting that the Song Dynasty not harm the local officials temporarily appointed by the Jin Army when handing over the two places of Longde Mansion and Weisheng Army.
