Ragnarok is born

I just don't know if the officers and soldiers in the southeast area are prepared against Mingjiao and can successfully stop Mingjiao's violent attack in the first place?

When this thought appeared in Zhao Ji's mind, he secretly felt it was funny and shook his head bitterly.

Zhu Xi, who was in charge of political affairs in the southeast, was indeed very powerful in collecting and purchasing flowers and stones, and it added a lot of color to Yanfu Palace.

According to the secret spying information of the Imperial City Secretary, Zhu Mian was in the southeast to be a blessing and a power, assassinating envoys, and most of the county guards were under his sect.

People call the Zhu Mansion "a small imperial court in the southeast". I'm afraid that the whole southeast has been full of complaints, and it is unbearable.

At this time, as long as there are one or two people in the Ming Cult who have common sense and point the finger of the uprising at Zhu Xi, the people in the southeast will probably rise up and respond.

Zhao Ji felt a headache.

Over the years, Cai Jing, Zhu Yu and others have indeed put in a lot of effort for the "prosperity and prosperity of Yuda".

However, the calamity in the southeast area was also caused by Zhu Qiang's unreasonable behavior and public plundering, so he could not escape his guilt.

It's a pity that it's not the time to convict Zhu Xi yet!

Zhao Ji sighed slightly, and suddenly heard the sound transmission of the mini "Black Dragon", "It's really interesting, your disaster is coming..."

Zhao Ji's heart moved when he heard the words, and he was about to mobilize his energy. When he asked the mini "Black Dragon", the other party had already transmitted the voice again, "You are immersed in your mind, just like the Chilong of Qi Luck. Take a look at the situation in front of you, and then talk about it."

Zhao Ji was stunned.

Since the last time he was obsessed with combining with the "Lucky Red Dragon", he exhausted his energy excessively, resulting in an accidental coma, and after waking up again, he never dared to try it lightly.

Now that he suddenly heard the reminder from the miniature "Black Dragon", he suddenly remembered that he had absorbed the "Aura of Good Fortune" into his body, and he was no longer an ordinary person, but also transformed into a monk?

According to the instructions of the mini "Black Dragon", Zhao Ji slowly calmed down and sensed the connection between himself and the "Lucky Red Dragon".

"Boom" sound.

Looking around, I saw that the whole world changed color, and Liang Shicheng who was reporting respectfully in front of him disappeared.

All kinds of air rise from the vast land, connecting with the vast and boundless sky, forming a chessboard-like network.

The three-headed dragon of luck, which is huge, exudes a ferocious aura, and contains infinite power, is entrenched above the energy of the earth veins and the network of luck.

Zhao Ji felt that he was standing in the middle of the head of the "Qi Luck Red Dragon", and suddenly remembered the last experience.

He turned his head to the north and northwest, and sure enough, he saw the "Lucky Black Dragon" in the north and the "Yellow Dragon of Luck" in the northwest. He seemed to sense his scrutiny, and immediately let out bursts of astonishing dragon fire. roar in response.

Seeing this, Zhao Ji pouted lightly.

Because of the previous experience, Zhao Ji knew it well, don't look at these two big guys, they look menacing.

In fact, they are bound by invisible rules, they can only stay on the territory they represent, and cannot move half an inch away.

So no matter how fierce and ferocious the "Lucky Black Dragon" and "Yellow Dragon of Fortune" called, they were just barking incompetently.

Zhao Ji still has an urgent matter that needs to be dealt with immediately, so naturally he has no time to pay attention to their provocation.

Liang Shicheng reported that under the leadership of the Mingjiao leader Fang La and the Mingjiao leader Fang La, Dongnan may have misbehavior.

The fate of the country is the hearts of the people!

The fortune of the country is the power of the people!

Because of Zhu Xi's rebellion, the people in the southeast must have been disappointed with him as the emperor and the court.

The last time Zhao Ji was connected with the "Qi Luck Red Dragon", he saw countless red dots in the southeast area, which were shocking and alienated from the imperial court.

But this time, the situation in the southeast became more serious. Zhao Ji had been prepared for a long time, but he was still shocked.

With the help of the dragon eyes of the "Qi Luck Red Dragon", he looked at the concrete manifestation of the world's luck, and saw a blood red area in the southeast.

Originally, it was just a red dot mixed with blue and yellow luck. It looked amazing, but in fact it was just in a disconnected state.

But right now, Zhao Ji could clearly see that the sporadic red dots in the southeast area were all connected together and began to gradually devour the luck of other colors.

When Zhao Ji was observing the qi luck map, he could clearly see that the blue and yellow qi luck was slowly fading outward at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, the red dots that had been practiced into one piece gained momentum, and finally revealed a ferocious face after devouring a large area of ​​green and yellow luck.

A huge white python rose from the red light and stood in the void in the southeast, hostile to the other three "dragons of luck".

What's even more unbelievable is that Zhao Ji also saw the giant white python, which was still twisting its huge body restlessly.

At the same time, he opened his huge snake kiss, and let out bursts of painful roars at the other three "dragons of luck".

Then, under the gaze of three "Dragon of Luck" of different colors, two small bags bulged from the top of the white python's head.

Two small dragon horns suddenly dashed out from the flesh and blood on the top of the white giant python's head, and the roar of the white giant python revealed a bit of joy.

Zhao Ji was in great pain.

Volume Eight: The Outlaws of the Marsh

Looking helplessly at the sky in the southeast direction of the Qiyun network, the huge Qiyun white python grows two dragon horns and turns the python into a dragon.

Zhao Ji only felt that his mind seemed to be being swallowed by an invisible thing, which opened its huge mouth, tore off a part at once, and swallowed it.

The invisible loss of mind brought Zhao Ji incalculable pain, which made him scream uncontrollably.

The fate of the country is the hearts of the people!

The fortune of the country is the power of the people!

Zhao Ji finally realized what Lin Lingsu said, the meaning contained in it, and what it meant.

The scene in front of him vividly demonstrated to Zhao Ji that the destiny of the country is the hearts of the people, and the destiny of the country is the true meaning of the power of the people.

Prosperous and prosperous, the southeast area of ​​Minyin Caifu is actually a very important position for the Song Dynasty.

It is precisely because of the Mingjiao's uprising that it is tantamount to splitting the southeast, which will inevitably cause the serious weakening of the Song Dynasty.

Without the support of property in the southeast, the Great Song Kingdom would fall into a state of poverty in terms of finances and food.

Since Emperor Yangdi of the Sui Dynasty mined the canal, Jiangnan was included in the effective rule, and the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the southeast gradually became the economic center of the world.

The capital of the Song Dynasty was in Bianliang City, Tokyo, with a population of one million, and the daily rice food needed was immeasurable.

To some extent, it needs to be transported from the south to the capital through the Grand Canal, which is thousands of miles long, in order to be able to keep up with the consumption of the residents of Bianliang City in Tokyo.

The Bianhe River, where hundreds of boats compete to flow, actually represents the connection between the north and the south, which has reached a very close level.

Without the transportation from the Southeast generation, Bianliang City in Tokyo would suddenly fall into the predicament of lack of food.

Through his connection with the "Qi Luck Red Dragon", Zhao Ji watched the scene where the southeast area united and turned blood red.

Sensing the sudden sense of weakness from the "Qi Luck Red Dragon", Zhao Ji knew that the rebellion in the southeast this time would be an indelible and huge damage to the "National Luck" of the Song Dynasty.

He secretly sighed.

Now that this is the case, what can we do?

Mingjiao originally had a precedent of rebellion to follow, although in the former Tang Dynasty, it suffered a major blow and had to be silent, and did not appear in front of others.

However, after hundreds of years of recuperation, he finally regained his strength, and immediately dealt a vicious blow to the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Ji turned his head and looked at other locations.

The "Lucky Black Dragon" represented by the Liao Kingdom in the north, and the "Yellow Dragon" represented by the Xixia Kingdom in the northwest, seemed to have sensed the low momentum of the "Red Dragon of Fortune" in the Song Dynasty in the south, and their momentum rose almost at the same time. vibration.

"Lucky Black Dragon" and "Yellow Dragon of Qi Luck" also raised their heads to the sky and roared loudly, the dragons grinned and taunted "Red Dragon of Fortune" silently.

Standing on top of the "Lucky Red Dragon", Zhao Ji saw the tyranny of the "Lucky Black Dragon" and the "Yellow Dragon of Luck", and his eyes were full of sarcasm.

Can't help but feel helpless.

What can be done about this?

It's all because of the rebellion of Fang La, the leader of the Ming Cult, who suddenly launched a rebellion at this critical moment.

All of a sudden, the southeast area was separated from the effective rule of the imperial court, and the "Qi Luck Red Dragon" was also seriously injured.

Zhao Ji passed the secret method and was able to communicate with the "Red Dragon of Luck", so he also sensed the crisis of the "Red Dragon of Luck" and suffered a lot of blows.

The vision of his eyes suddenly became gradually blurred, and the clearly visible luck network also disappeared bit by bit.

humming sound.

Before Zhao Ji could react, he broke free from the connection of mind and spirit and returned to reality.

Liang Shicheng was still on the side, waiting respectfully for his will, and then conveyed it to many officials in the outer court.

With a thought in his mind, Zhao Ji asked Liang Shicheng softly, "Tell me, how should we deal with the drastic changes in the southeast?"

As one of the eunuchs with high authority in the inner court, Liang Shicheng naturally knew very well what happened in the southeast.

Hearing Zhao Ji's inquiry, Liang Shicheng looked angrily, and said with great emotion, "You must never tolerate and raise traitors."

"Fang La, the leader of the Ming Cult, and others are all rebellious crimes, and they cannot be allowed to grow slowly."

"The imperial court should have dispatched elite troops to encircle and suppress it earlier, lest the Ming Church grow stronger, and even if it regains the southeast area, the gains will not be worth the loss."

Zhao Ji was equally surprised when he heard Liang Shicheng's methodical response.

When did Liang Shicheng have such a brilliant strategy and vision?Could it be that in the previous days, he was always keeping a low profile?

However, Liang Shicheng didn't mean to ask for credit. After he finished his answer, he directly revealed the answer and said, "This is not the slave's own opinion..."

Zhao Ji shook his head.

He knew what Liang Shicheng meant.

Liang Shicheng claimed to be the son of Su Dongpo's concubine, and he had expressed this meaning to outsiders on different occasions.

When Cai Jing came to power, following Zhao Ji's will, he ordered the erection of the "Yuanyou Party Members Monument", on which both Su Shi and Su Zhe's brothers were listed.

A total of [-] people's names are listed on this stele, all of whom were well-known figures who opposed Wang Anshi's New Deal in the previous dynasty.

Zhao Ji thought he had inherited the will of his father and brother, so he hated Sima Guang, Su Shi and other old party figures who opposed the New Deal.

Cai Jing was ordered to engrave all the names of these people on the "Yuanyou Party Members Stele", and he also had extremely harsh intentions.

All those listed in the "Monument of Yuanyou Party Members" will be imprisoned or relegated if they are still alive, and their official titles will be removed from those who have passed away.

Their descendants will never be officials, and the royal children are not allowed to intermarry with the offspring of criminal officials on this list, and those who have been engaged must be annulled by order.

In the process of erecting the "Monument of Yuanyou Party Members", Cai Jing and others increased the scope and intensity of their strikes in order to wipe out all their opposition parties.

In the first month of the fifth year of Chongning (1106) of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, a comet appeared in the sky, thunder and lightning flashed, and after a thunderbolt, the stele of Yuanyou Party members on the east wall of Wende Hall was split in half.

Song Huizong, who believed in Taoism, was terrified and mistakenly thought it was the wrath of heaven, so he secretly ordered people to completely destroy the monument in the middle of the night.

When Prime Minister Cai Jing found out, he was very annoyed, but said boldly, "This stele can be destroyed, but the names on it will never be forgotten!"

But when the news spread outside, it caused a bigger uproar.

At that time, people thought that even the gods could not understand Cai Jing's actions of eliminating dissidents, so they sent down thunder to warn the emperor.

The descendants of the people on the "Monument of Yuanyou Party Members" are also very proud to be engraved on the monument with the names of their ancestors, showing off to others.

When such news spread in Qingliu, Liang Shicheng also spoke in front of Zhao Ji, so that Su Shi's article could be republished all over the world.

At the same time, in private, he also took great care of Su Shi's living son. He once said to the accountant at home, "If a little Su Shi spends money below [-] guan, don't sue me, just pay it."

Su Dongpo's descendants were able to survive the difficult days, indeed thanks to Liang Shicheng, so the two sides kept in contact with each other from time to time.

What Master Liang said just now meant that he wanted to disclose it. This was actually a conclusion he had discussed with Su Jiazi.

But Zhao Ji didn't feel any impatience.

Liang Shicheng's ability to give Su Jiazi sufficient care shows that he is not an inhumane person with a heart of stone.

Such subordinates with obvious shortcomings, in Zhao Ji's view, can be controlled more easily through different means.

Those honest gentlemen who have no desires but are strong and talk about the world first are the existences that make the kings feel the most helpless.

For Zhao Ji, now is no longer the era of the two brothers Su Shi and Su Zhe, although the future of their descendants can only be determined at a glance.

But Zhao Ji is not ready to let go of this precedent.

It is already a great honor for those members of the Su family to be able to be sent to other places as small officials.

Zhao Ji didn't expect too much. Liang Shicheng could give an excellent answer, and he was quite satisfied after hearing his answer.

The rest of the matter will need to be finalized after a long discussion by the ministers of the outer dynasty.

How to deal with the Mingjiao uprising in the southeast area.

For a powerful force to dare to raise troops to confront the imperial court, it is definitely not a simple wishful thinking, but must have gone through all kinds of planning, and the friends are fully prepared before they can launch a bold blow.

At the same time, the absolute strength of Fang La, the leader of Mingjiao, also impressed Zhao Ji deeply and shocked him deeply.
