Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Ximen Qing smiled and told Fan Qiong the allusion of the battle between Cao Cao and Ma Chao in the Weinan period during the Three Kingdoms period, and told him that instead of chasing the remnants of the Zhao family everywhere, it is better to wait for these people to gather their troops under the city of Bianliang in Tokyo and wipe them out in one fell swoop.

In this way, it will not only save trouble, but also better deter the young people in the world.

Therefore, Ximen Qing intentionally held back his troops and gave the remnants of the Zhao family some more time to gather more troops, so that everyone in the world could focus on this battle.

In short, what Ximen Qing meant was to let the hat fly for a while longer!

Fan Qiong, who was from Shandong, had confidence in the fighting power of Ximen Qing's army. Now that Ximen Qing said so, he knew that Ximen Qing had a plan in mind, so he immediately resigned and returned to the palace to report to Zhang Bangchang.

Zhang Bangchang took reassurance and stopped worrying. He continued to issue decrees and pardons to the whole country every day, as if there was no army besieging the city outside the city.

Ximen Qing waited for a few days, and saw that Zhao Bushi, Zhao Zisong, and Zhao Shuxiang had almost arrived, and there were no more troops, so he sent military orders to the generals outside the city to spread the order to the capital, east, and west of the state of Chu. In the name of Si Yamen, he ordered these troops to obey his orders and wait for reorganization.

The 10,000+ troops outside the city came to force the palace under the banner of "anti-Chu and Song Dynasty". How could it be possible to obey the order of Ximen Qing, the envoy of Chu State?

Ximen Qing's move was nothing more than deliberately teasing the troops outside the city.

Sure enough, the generals outside the city were furious, and they all wrote back to scold Ximen Qing, demanding that Ximen Qing open the city and surrender immediately, otherwise, they would break into the city and kill the false emperor Zhang Bangchang and Ximen Qing, the rebellious party who supported the false emperor.

After Ximenqing received the reply, he came to the tower of Nanxun Gate in a leisurely manner, and asked to meet with Zhao Bushi, Zhao Zisong, and Zhao Shuxiang to discuss the theory.

At this time, Zhao Bushi was still consolidating his power in Hebei, and only sent Wang Boyan, the prefect of Xiangzhou, and Zhao Ye, the governor of Beidao, to lead the army to force the palace.

Zhao Zisong and Zhao Shuxiang's sphere of influence is far away from the Kingdom of Jin, and they don't need to guard against the Jin army, so they came out in full force and personally led the troops to the city of Bianliang, Tokyo.

Before Zhang Bangchang abdicated, these three forces were considered allies, and they all regarded themselves as loyal ministers of the Song Dynasty.Therefore, when Ximenqing asked to reason with them, Zhao Zisong, Zhao Shuxiang, and Zhao Ye, the general manager of the North Road representing Zhao Bushi, led their troops to the gate of Nanxun.

Seeing that the three came to the outside of the city and set up an army formation far away, Ximen Qing also directly led an army out of the city to form an array, and met the three before the formation of the two armies.

As soon as they met, Ximenqing asked the three why they rebelled.

Zhao Huan, the abolished emperor of the Song Dynasty, had surrendered to the Kingdom of Jin. From a legal point of view, the Song Dynasty had already perished, and the land and subjects of the Song Dynasty had become part of the Kingdom of Jin.

The Dajin Kingdom established the Chu Kingdom as a vassal state again, and canonized Zhang Bangchang as the emperor of the Chu Kingdom, allowing him to govern the homeland and survivors of the perishing Song Dynasty. There is no problem in terms of jurisprudence.

Therefore, the imperial power obtained by Zhang Bangchang is at least upright and orderly in terms of legal principles and procedures, and it is not a hozen who proclaimed himself king.

This is why many officials from all walks of life watched the changes quietly, but did not take a clear stand against Zhang Bangchang, the emperor. It is also the reason why Zhao Zisong, Zhao Shuxiang and others wanted to force Zhang Bangchang to return to power.

Ximen Qing said that they rebelled, which can indeed be determined from a legal point of view.

Of course, Zhao Zisong, Zhao Shuxiang, and Zhao Ye would not admit that they were rebellious, but refuted Ximenqing, saying that the people of the world should return to Zhao, and Zhang Bangchang should follow the will of heaven and the people and return to the Zhao family.

Ximenqing asked with a puzzled face, the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji, the deposed Emperor Zhao Huan, and all the princes and grandsons were taken back to the Kingdom of Jin by the Jin Army. Who should His Majesty the Emperor return to?

Chapter 967 You also deserve the surname Zhao?

Ximen Qing, the envoy of Xuan Fu of Chu State, does he play like this?Are you trying to sow discord with the coalition forces in public?

When Ximenqing asked the emperor Zhang Bangchang who should return to power with a naive face, Zhao Zisong, Zhao Shuxiang, and Zhao Ye's expressions froze, and they thought to themselves that the guy on the other side was so shameless.

However, this guy is too naive, thinking that throwing out the bait of the throne will make me wait for the three parties to fight each other?

I heard that Ximenqing is just a local tyrant without fame, because he speculated on the puppet emperor Zhang Bangchang to get the official position of Xuanfu envoy.Looking at it now, it's just a ostentatious wine bag and rice bag, nothing to be afraid of!

Regarding the sensitive question raised by Ximen Qing, Zhao Zisong and Zhao Shuxiang pretended to be reserved, and asked Zhao Ye, the general manager of Beidao who represented Taizong VI's grandson Zhao Bushi, to answer Ximen Qing.

Zhao Ye said to Ximenqing that this country is still the country of Zhao's family. Although the second sage hunted in the north, there are still talented and sages in the Zhao family.

Zhao Ye said that the puppet emperor Zhang Bangchang only needs to abdicate and return to power, and the army and people of the Song Dynasty can automatically select a talented clan worthy of great responsibility to inherit the great rule and revive the Song Dynasty.

Ximenqing heard what Zhao Ye said, and asked, since you have not yet recommended the so-called sages of the clan, who should His Majesty the Emperor of Chu return to?

This is still trying to provoke the relationship between everyone in broad daylight.

Uncle Zhao sneered, and said, "You don't have to play such ghostly tricks! This king is well aware of the situation in Bianliang City, Tokyo.

Who said that the royal family was taken away by the Jin army?Empress Yuanyou is in the city right now!

The false emperor Zhang Bangchang only needs to return the government to Empress Yuanyou, and then ask Empress Yuanyou to listen to the government behind the curtain, and convene the Zhao Clan Assembly, so that he can elect a talented and sage who will inherit the great line! "

The empress Yuanyou that Uncle Zhao was talking about was the Meng family, the empress of Song Zhezong Zhaoxu.The woman's fate was ill-fated, and she was abolished twice because of the old and new party disputes.

Empress Meng was chosen by Empress Dowager Gao and Empress Dowager Xiang for Song Zhezong Zhao Xu, but she was abolished by Song Zhezong Zhao Xu in the third year of Shaosheng on the grounds of "confusing evil words and coercing evil ways" , came out of Yaohua Palace and became a female Taoist priest.

Although it is said that Empress Meng was abolished, the reason used was because Empress Meng was involved in heresy and private affairs, but in fact Song Zhezong Zhao Xu had long wanted to abolish the Meng family.

Song Zhezong Zhao Xu ascended the throne when he was young, and was suppressed by the Empress Dowager Xuan Rengao all the year round.As he grew older, Song Zhezong and Zhao Xu gradually became rebellious and rebellious towards the Empress Dowager Gao.

Empress Meng is the empress chosen by Empress Dowager Xuanren Gao for Song Zhezong Zhao Xu. Song Zhezong Zhao Xu is extremely disgusted with Empress Dowager Gao, let alone Empress Meng who seems to be manipulated and cannot help marrying.

So after Meng married Song Zhezong Zhao Xu, he was treated indifferently by Zhezong.

After the princess born to Empress Meng fell ill, the Meng family repeatedly involved forbidden laws such as talisman water and Taoism in order to treat the princess. on hand.

Coupled with Liu Jieyu, Song Zhezong's beloved Liu Jieyu, adding fuel and jealousy, it became a certainty after being abolished.

In the third year of Yuanfu, four years after being abolished, Song Zhezong Zhao Xu passed away, and the Meng family was lucky. She was taken into the palace by Song Huizong, who succeeded the throne at that time, and her position was restored.

Because Meng's conferred queen was in the Yuanyou period, she was called "Queen Yuanyou".

The reason why Empress Meng was able to regain her post was because after the death of Song Zhezong, the old party resurged with the support of the Empress Dowager, and its power gradually grew.

Empress Meng, the woman who was favored by Empress Dowager Gao and Empress Dowager Xiang, naturally returned to the palace.

But it's a pity that Empress Meng only spent one year in the palace this time before she was abolished from the posthumous position.

In the first year of the founding of Yasukuni, only one year after the restoration of the Meng family, because of the death of the Empress Dowager Xiang, Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, took charge of the government and reused the new party Cai Jing and others.

The old party was suppressed, all members of the old party were relegated, and the Meng family was also implicated, so they were abolished again.

The Meng family returned to the Yaohua Palace and bestowed the title of "Xiweiyuan Notice and Immortal Master Miaojing", and it has been more than 20 years with the ancient Buddha in the blue lamp.

In the early years of Jingkang, the Meng family first moved to Yanning Palace due to a fire in Yaohua Palace, and then Yanning Palace caught fire again, and she was forced to leave the palace to live in the private house of Meng's family in front of Xiangguo Temple.

The so-called blessing and misfortune depend on each other, it is precisely because of the disaster of the two fires that the Meng family moved out of the palace, which allowed her to escape the catastrophe of the two emperors and the sixth palace moving north together.

The Jin army went south for the second time. After breaking through Bianliang City in Tokyo, the capital, Emperor Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan were taken into captivity. Not in the palace and escaped unharmed.

Zhao Shuxiang used to live in the capital, and fled when Bianliang City in Tokyo was captured by the Jin army. He knew the situation of the Meng family after the abolition, so there is a saying.

So, doesn't Ximenqing know about the Meng family of Empress Yuanyou?

Of course I know.

Of course, Ximenqing remembered that in history, Zhang Bangchang, the emperor of Chu State, first let Empress Yuanyou enter the palace to listen to the government behind a curtain, and then changed himself to be the Dazai to handle political affairs, so as to show that he returned to the Zhao family.

It's just that the Meng family is just a poor woman who was abolished in the previous dynasty, and Ximen Qing will not do anything to her.
