One Piece of Song Dynasty

Chapter 558 New Year’s Eve Mutiny 2

Zhao Gou was extremely disappointed with everyone, but he couldn't show it when employing people. Seeing Du Chong's sharp words and blazing eyes, he had no choice but to put his money on Du Chong: "It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. Since the prime minister has no soldiers, he has no choice but to put his money on Du Chong." We defended along the Yangtze River. We promoted Du Chong to the position of Shangshu Youpuse, Jiankang left guard and Jianghuai Xuanfu envoy, and controlled Huainan and the east and west roads of Beijing. Lu Yihao was promoted to Shangshu Zuopushe."

Zhao Gou's decision was inevitably impulsive, too sudden, and completely beyond everyone's expectations. Lu Yihao lost his voice and said: "As soon as Du Chong withdrew from the Central Plains, he was appointed as the chief minister of the imperial court and in charge of military affairs. Your Majesty is handing over the defense of the Yangtze River to Du Chong and letting Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, and Zhang Tieshan be controlled by Du Chong."

"That's right." Zhao Gou gritted his teeth and said, "Prime Minister Du has a good strategy to defend the Yangtze River."

"I don't care who has his own army or not, and I don't know what is yours, mine, or his. I only know that generals are the generals of the imperial court, and soldiers are the soldiers of the imperial court. I only know how to control the defense of the Yangtze River. Generals, you don’t know how to borrow troops." Du Chong looked at the three generals Han, Zhang, and Liu as if threatening, and saluted Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou nodded secretly. Looking at Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi, the three of them exchanged unconvinced glances with each other. Lu Yihao instinctively couldn't trust Du Chong, and with Du Chong's new favorite, he was dissatisfied, so he said: "Your Majesty, the commander-in-chief of the Yangtze River must be a man with both ability and political integrity, as well as military training and wealth, to be able to serve the people."

"What Prime Minister Lu said, it seems that except for Lu, there is no perfect person in the world," Du Chong immediately retorted unceremoniously. Lu Yihao was furious: "I only said that today there are very few people who have enough military training and wealth to go to disasters. Who said anything about you?"

Zhao Gou had no choice but to explain to them: "Peace lasts for a long time, and there are many scholars and scholars. Where can I find people with military skills and wealth for a while?"

When Liu Guangshi faced the aggressive Du Chong, he could not help but feel the same hatred as the enemy: "Your Majesty, there are six reasons why I cannot accept Du Chong's control. One of them is."

"Those who disobey orders will never have to see me again." Zhao Gou did not allow him to speak and interrupted him decisively. Liu Guangshi was helplessly stunned.

Zhang Jun saw Lu Yihao frowning at him and said: "Your Majesty, I am worried that if we abandon Huaidian, the Yangtze River defense line will be vulnerable."

"I am guarding the Yangtze River, and I am determined to kill the fish and break the net. Who wants you to say more?" Du Chong's copper bell-like eyes stared at Zhang Jun again.

When Zhao Gou saw Du Chong's brutality, all the generals were discouraged and secretly happy.

Although Han Shizhong was a dignified martial artist, he was more cunning in comparison. When he saw Lu Yihao winking at him, he couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, I just got a horse, five feet and one inch tall. No one dares to ride it. I present it to your Majesty."

Lu Yihao was so angry when he saw his king looking around. Fortunately, Zhao Gou didn't buy it. He shook his head and said, "Five feet tall is a BMW. Five feet tall is a beast. What's the treasure? Besides, why do I need the BMW? Let Han Shuai keep it in front of the army."

"Within one hour after the end of the court, all the generals will go to Jiankang Mansion Office to discuss matters. If there is any delay, military law will be engaged." Du Chong looked at everyone fiercely and ordered. When Zhao Gou saw the generals bowing their heads in promise, he secretly admired Du Chong, but Lu Yihao and Zhao Ding were worried.

An hour later, Du Chong sat in the Jiankang Mansion Yamen like a ferocious god, surrounded by Chen Que, the commander of the capital, and Liu Jing, Yue Fei, Li Qiong and other former left-behind generals in Tokyo. Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, Wang De, Wang Yaksha and others stood arrogantly on both sides. Yang Yizhong did not see Zhang Jun. He was looking out uneasily when a drum sound came from outside. Du Chong said: "Zhang Jun has not arrived yet, so we won't wait for him."

"Report that Marshal Zhang has arrived at the gate." A small school came in to report. Du Chong said: "Let him wait outside while we discuss the matter."

The principal opened his mouth and ran out. Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, Yang Yizhong, and Wang De were all stunned, and said in their hearts, Du Chong is too tyrannical for not allowing the commander-in-chief of one party to attend such an important Jiangfang meeting. Du Chong doesn't care what everyone thinks. He started to give a policy speech, and when he was getting excited, Zhang Jun's deputy general came in with a riding whip and shouted: "Who dares to let my commander-in-chief wait outside to stand up and let me see?"

The deputy general looks fierce and has tattoos all over his body. Zhang Jun's soldiers are all covered with tattoos and are commonly known as soldiers with beautiful legs. The idiom "flowering fists and embroidering legs" was first derived from Zhang Junjun. Seeing that his speech was abruptly interrupted, Du Chong pointed at him and became furious: "Drag out this flower-legged beast who broke into the handsome man's house and behead him."

The soldiers agreed, swarmed up and dragged the screaming deputy general out. Liu Guangshi, Han Shizhong, Wang De, and Yang Yizhong saw Zhang Jun's deputy general being dragged out like a dead dog, and heard the deputy general's howling outside suddenly stopped. They all looked at each other in horror. Du Chong said as if nothing happened: "Continue the discussion."

Yue Fei glanced at the generals of the Royal Camp with disdain, and saw that Liu Guangshi and Han Shizhong were so scared that they were silent. He thought that the number one general in the imperial court was nothing more than this, so he couldn't help but feel contempt for them.

Zhang Jun, who was outside the tent, saw that the deputy general was beheaded in an instant. He was so frightened that he refused to enter the camp gate. He got on his horse and rode into the Shenxiao Palace. When he entered the house, he cried to Zhao Gou: "Your Majesty, Du Chong, killed my deputy general. I cannot be under his command. I beg your Majesty to make the decision for me."

Zhao Gou finally realized that although Zhang Jun and Han Shizhong were both dignified generals, each was better than the other at being a scoundrel. Moreover, they were both contributors to Miao Liuzhi's transformation, and there was nothing he could do to them, so he secretly He said proudly: "This time I know that Du Chong is so powerful because you are used to being domineering. You deserve it. Since the generals are at odds with each other, from now on you can serve as guards."

"Your Majesty still loves me the most. I thank you and leave." Zhang Jun said goodbye and went out. Zhao Gou stood up, stretched his body, and walked back to the back with a rare and easy step. He saw Wu Shaofen and Gillian teasing the prince and looking at some pieces of brocade. He casually asked who sent it. Wu Shaofen said: "Han Shizhong's wife Bai Shi came just now." He said that the salary owed to her has not been paid, and Han Shizhong is also owed military pay."

"How did you reply?" Zhao Gou's mind was spinning rapidly.

Wu Shaofen said: "My concubine said that except for Empress Dowager Meng's salary, I don't dare to pay anything less. My concubine and others have already been left without a penny."

"No wonder Han Shizhong presented his horse. Generals who are fighting abroad should be given extra generous benefits and pay their salaries immediately. From now on, generals' salaries must not be in arrears, and no exceptions can be made except for military generals." Wu Shaofen nodded and looked him up and down: "Why is your Majesty so happy today?"

"Although Du Chong is a civil servant, he is majestic. With such a capable minister, I have improved the military system and have no worries." Zhao Gou picked up the prince and teased him, but Wu Shaofen became nervous: "Your Majesty still wants all the armies to belong to the Privy Council. "

"It won't work if I don't return." Zhao Gou handed the child to her and sat down to write a royal letter. Shaofen hurriedly handed the prince to Gillian, stopped him and said: "This matter is not trivial, your majesty must be cautious."
