Cangbei Qingzhou Taishou Mansion.

Zhao Gonglian sat in the hall of the palace in a strong civilian suit, looked at the imperial envoy under the hall, looked carefully, and glanced at the powerful young armor who was standing farther away, the envoy's bodyguard, with a playful look.

This envoy was not ordered to envoy to Cangbei, but to the joint will of the Emperor Zhao Ji and the new Emperor Zhao Huan to envoy to the Jin State, it was from 1111 onwards that actively sought and agitated the Song Dynasty to join the Jin Dynasty to invade Liao, the Yan and Han people Ma Zhi, who changed his name from Tong Guan, also known as Li Liangsi, and now he is given the name Zhao Liangsi by Zhao Ji as in history.

Of course, in the name of sending Jin Guo to seek Zhao Gonglian's help, he entered Cangbei to inspect and spy on the specific situation of Cangbei today, and to test the attitude of Zhao Gonglian, the de facto semi-independent warlord in the north of the Song State, towards the imperial court, which is self-evident.

The Song court's evil intentions to eradicate the Cangzhao family are not dead, and since Zhao Yue made a big fuss in the capital and the court, this kind of murderous and poisonous thoughts have become more resolute, more vicious, and insidious...... At the same time, he continued to play coax and use Zhao Gonglian to guard the border, in fact, the heart of serving the Song Dynasty was not dead.

Zhao Gonglian now knows too well the habits of these guys in the Song court.

That is, a bunch of people remember what they eat and don't remember, and when they are good, they forget the pain, and once the fatal crisis is over, they will quickly return to their previous conceit, profoundness, scheming, and ingenuity, and the so-called ability of the contemporary elite is too long to get used to this, and it has long become a fixed atmosphere of political tradition, and it cannot be changed, and it will not stop being cowardly and incompetent if it is not dead, but it is arrogant, vain, impetuous, hypocritical, and willful tossing....... Then again, the times are limited, these people can only do this, and they can only play this for the sake of glory, wealth and power.

Zhao Gonglian was naturally clear about the vicious thoughts of the imperial court, but he still agreed to Ma Wei's request, so that his group of more than 50 people could enter Cangbei to meet him. Originally, since last year, the Qianning army brazenly went south to threaten Cangzhou City, and scared Zheng Juzhong, the Taishou of Cangzhou, to the point that he almost died of illness.

In fact, he is telling the Manchu Song Dynasty that Cangbei is the Cangbei of the Cangbei government itself, whether you are the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty...... is still an ordinary Song Min, it's the same, if Cangbei doesn't approve it, you can't come to Cangbei, even if you support Zhao Gonglian and the Cangzhao family with good intentions, it's the same.

Naturally, Zhao Yue's hometown Zhao Zhuang This is also this kind of explicit order, invisibly first of all, to warn Zheng Juzhong, old boy, you honestly shrink in Cangzhou City to be your so-called Taishou, and if you dare to reach out to Zhao Zhuang with a crooked heart, you will have your head. I will no longer be accustomed to you relying on the power of the court again and again, using the country and the general righteousness as an excuse to do evil.......

Zheng Juzhong's political acumen is not at the bottom, and history has proven that he is a master of officialdom, otherwise he would not be able to achieve the high position of a privy envoy, and he can still understand and understand this warning in seconds.

In fact, when the Qianning Army blockaded Cangzhou City last year, Zheng Juzhong had already deeply felt how strong Zhao Gonglian's hatred and murderous intent were for him...... The Qianning Army rangers did not hesitate to shoot anyone who dared to leave Cangzhou City during the blockade, and each time they killed them, they would openly or fiercely or laugh and shout: "Another Zheng Juzhong has been cleaned up." Cangbei soldiers are like this, it can be seen what kind of mentality Zhao Gonglian, the marshal of Cangbei, has towards Zheng Juzhong...... If Zheng Juzhong had the courage to go out of the city at that time, he would undoubtedly immediately become an arrow and die.

was so frightened that he colluded with Zheng Juzhong, and because he was bold and resolute, resolute, powerful, and efficient in harming the interests of Zheng Juzhong, he was well coordinated, and he was praised by Zhao Ji in private, "The Shi family, as the founding noble, has always been loyal to the Great Song Dynasty and me, and I know it." Shi Fulian, a disciple of the Shi family, is loyal and capable, and he is smart and knows things, and he has a degree of practice and deep bowing........ is a loyal monarch and a patriotic good minister", and he felt that the future was brilliant and infinite, and Shi Fulian, who was once so unhappy, did not dare to deal with Zheng Juzhong, for fear that this hatred of the Cangbei Army would implicate or include him.......

According to Shi Fu's habits, it is naturally what Zhao Ji praised: smart and knowing, practicing things to a certain extent, shrinking his tail resolutely, forcefully and efficiently alienating Zheng Juzhong, pretending to be an innocent and good person, hoping that if the Qianning Army really attacked Cangzhou City, he could also have an excuse to get a chance to live, and also showed the characteristics of 'bold and capable', he also secretly contacted Lao Tongju, and discussed that as soon as the Cangbei Army really broke the city, he decisively tied up Zheng Juzhong and handed it over to Zhao Gonglian to vent his hatred, in exchange for escaping punishment and fooling the imperial court....... Although Lao Tongju just smiled meaningfully at the time and didn't say anything, Shi Fulian thought that the cunning, introverted and low-key old thief Lao Tongju agreed by default....... Zheng Juzhong, the unlucky Taishou, completely betrayed his relatives and became a lonely man...... At the beginning, he thought that he had killed Cangzhao business, and the Cangzhao family had gone bankrupt, and Cangzhou had become a mess, and it didn't matter if it was out of control, it had nothing to do with him, he patted his ass and walked away with the praise of 'I am very comforted" and the halo of loyal heroes and returned to Beijing to become a bigger official, but Zhao Ji abandoned him..... Sure enough, it is the most ruthless king since ancient times, and Zheng Juzhong understands this sentence thoroughly....... In the face of the Cangbei Army's undisguised murderous intent towards him, his precious life would be lost at any time, but it was hopeless to hope that the imperial court would transfer him away in time, Emperor Daojun was frightened and worried that the country was going to fall, and his life was difficult to protect, how could he still have time to think about his life and death, and forget him to the back of his mind; There is no hope that the Cangzhou defenders will resist the Qianning army, although this old guy doesn't know that Shi Fulian has privately agreed with Lao Tong and is ready to take him to the disaster at any time, but just the crisis that the Qianning army may break the city at any time to collect debts is enough to scare Zheng Juzhong to death.......

Zheng Juzhong was seriously ill, but no one in the officialdom paid attention to him, no one in the city came to see him, and the few slaves left around him were no longer the courteous and flattering of the past....... Even the butler was only loyal to him on the surface..... Undoubtedly, they were all afraid of being affected by the master, and they had resentment and betrayal thoughts too early because they didn't have a good life, but they had to continue to shrink into the Zheng family as a servant because they couldn't escape from Cangzhou City.......

However, Zheng Juzhong was wrong, or Bai was frightened and worried.

Zhao Gonglian hated him to the bone and wanted to clean him up, but he would not kill him in this city.

If Zheng Juzhong died like this, died so early, it would be too cheap to die.

Let Zheng Juzhong stay in Cangzhou City and continue to be a 'decent' Taishou day and night anxious, frightened, panicked, dazed, and resentful...... It is better to die than to die, and in the end, death must be killed by the knife of the alien enemy who is ridiculous and blind and guarding the border. If not, how can you punish Confucianism for being willful and messing around? How can we wake the world to learn a profound lesson........

But Zhao Gonglian's harsh order made him see the opportunity, and he was overjoyed, and he wanted to move to vote when he heard the wind, and fight to open the country and worship the prime minister...... Many political opportunists of all walks of life in the Song Kingdom, especially those who were conceited and full of poetry and writing talents but felt that they were unwilling, or those who sincerely recognized and respected the Cangzhao family and wanted to follow Zhao Gonglian to do something, were very incomprehensible and disappointed.

Of course, it also made the court extremely resentful and disappointed........ Angry that Cangbei dared to openly ignore the imperial power, what is the difference between this and a direct rebellion?

The difference, naturally, is there, and the difference is very large.

directly rebelled, and the Song Dynasty was very likely to fall into chaos and collapse at that time, and the game was directly over.

If you don't directly oppose it, the court can continue to be arrogant. The two sides are at peace, and on the surface, the Cangbei forces are still the imperial court's. The court still has drama to sing.

The imperial court was disappointed: the blockade of Cangbei was so strict, and the imperial court could not send people to infiltrate the jurisdiction of Cangbei and Zhaozhuang, and no matter how clever the plan was, it would not be able to play.

Zhao Gonglian's outrageous move has deep meaning, and it has to be done.

One is to evacuate smoothly next year, and naturally we can't let all kinds of people from outside, who can't distinguish the real purpose and are not easy to control, get in the way. Those who come to work, whether they are sincere or not, are almost all villains that the pirate empire does not want. Cangbei does not need the services of people abandoned by the pirate empire, and there is no time to deal with it.

Even if someone is not a good person, but he has the ability and really wants to revitalize the Han nation, to safeguard the interests and dignity of the Han nation, to follow the Cangzhao family and do practical things, then keep this heart and strength. Soon after the war, there was an opportunity to contribute.

In the end, whether he is a reliable national righteous man who is still enthusiastic and righteous, when the time comes, he will be able to test and manifest himself to the fullest, but he does not need to control, test and distinguish without the superfluous troubles and adventures of the Cangzhao family now.

In the end, who deserves to die in the Song Kingdom, and who is still worthy of saving and receiving, the bloody war is the best discernment.

At that time, the beauty and ugliness of human nature, the true face of human beings, everyone will vividly and truly show it.

To this end, Zhao Yue also has a relevant plan.

Another purpose is to prevent all kinds of people and people from flowing to Cangbei and Zhaozhuang, and it can also indirectly prevent the Song rule, which has been weakened and collapsed, but has also restored calm and a certain degree of stability, from the great chaos of population division and chaos....... Let the Song Dynasty survive according to the overall strategic plan of the pirate empire.

.........................................

Ma Zhi obviously came prepared, either he was personally conscious and voluntarily or he was enlightened in advance by the guidance of those people in the imperial court, before coming to Cangbei, he first applied to go to Zhaozhuang to meet the old lady.

His words were extremely humble and sincere, and he first offered the rich condolences brought by the imperial court and the apology and respect of the imperial court (king) to Cangzhao....... It's a pity that I was allowed to come to Zhaozhuang, but I couldn't see this old lady of Cangzhao who really had the final say on everything in Cangzhou, and only saw the big housekeeper Lao Zhao.

Steward Zhao obviously had resentment in his heart, but at least he was apologetic to Ma Zhi, and said: "The old lady is sick by some scum in the court, and it is really inconvenient to meet guests. ”

Gift?

I was not polite, and I didn't hypocritically say anything, I accepted it very simply, and I felt that the court bravely admitted its mistakes and took responsibility, and thanked the court for its 'full repentance and sincerity', which is equivalent to restoring the dominance of the court, and patiently listened to what Ma Zhidai wanted to say on behalf of the court, and seriously said that he would convey the court's intentions as soon as the old lady's condition stabilized...... went through the motions in a down-to-earth manner and received it very warmly, but the court's tricks were undoubtedly in vain, leaving jokes for the people of Zhao Zhuang. Ma Zhi also noticed this, but still insisted on paying homage in front of the Cangzhao ancestral shrine to show his full admiration for the Cangzhao family.

Perhaps it was Ma Zhi's sincere admiration and respect for Cangzhao's ancestors and family that he was able to approve his entry into Cangbei and come to Qingzhou smoothly, and there was no Cangbei army or relevant government personnel to monitor and escort him along the way...... In fact, the delegation can observe and listen at will along the way....... I can't really find out what is useful. The monk villages along the way don't know anything, what secrets can they reveal?

The monks were indifferent to the vague hints of some people in the delegation: the imperial court's policy of exterminating Buddhism had changed, and the monks could resume their freedom to live in temples and halls and continue to be Buddhas and enjoy the temptation of unearned gains....... It's not that the monks don't want to leave the control of Cangbei, and it's not that they don't want to get rid of the hard work of a humble farmer and restore their former status as a sacred and leisurely Buddha, but they don't dare to defect lightly, they already know enough about the ability and iron blood of Marquis Wencheng......

The most important thing is that he knows that if he escapes, he will not have a good life when he returns to the imperial court, and the fate will be unpredictable if he leaves Cangbei........ The whole world is full of villains, and the whole world is full of people who want to wait for an opportunity to seize the wealth and fruits of their labor, and want to enslave others to taste the taste of the local lords...... If you live in the temple and become a Buddha, who can eat for nothing? If you don't get killed, robbed and caught, you can use it as a coolie to die, and you're already lucky.

Nowadays, the Great Song Dynasty is short of money, cloth, and ....... But what is most lacking are tenants, miners and other coolies, and there is no shortage of food to feed coolies...... The whole society is looking forward to the escape of such a considerable number of monks....... Believing in Buddhism, worshiping Buddha, and seeking Buddha is, in the final analysis, to live a good life and live a smooth life, which is as realistic and affordable as using ready-made monks to commit coolies....... There are monks who cultivate land and open mines..... Create wealth for yourself, family business, enjoy life leisurely as a master, what could be better than this? What could be more important than that?

Therefore, the monk understands: In Cangbei, at least the most basic guarantees such as life, food, clothing, and dignity are still guaranteed, and elsewhere?

I dare not imagine.

Zhao Gonglian has strict control over the monks, but he is not evil, and he has nothing to do when he works. The most important thing is to be honest and reliable........ And how can the imperial court have credibility?

The imperial court seized all the opportunities and wanted to play tricks, eager to skillfully and quietly disintegrate the Cangbei forces without spending a single soldier....... However, they ignore a very important factor: monks belong to a special group of great wisdom in this era, and they are also conceited of this wisdom in life.

For monks who don't recognize their six relatives, what other social events can't be seen through? Especially those monks who have seen through human nature and the world. The imperial court wanted to tempt the Cangbei monks to defect and disintegrate the warrior monk army and the monk labor base against the imperial court on which the Cangbei army depended.

How can the court have any repentance and sincerity...... Forced by the situation, playing political tricks to fool the ghosts, naïve and arrogant, and underestimating the wisdom of the Buddhas....... If you want to deceive us, the monks are stupid and stupid to listen to the fool and consciously escape, and become the coolies of the whole society of the Great Song Dynasty in the imperial court, there is no way. How dare you take our Buddha as a fool........ Bah!

It is conceivable that some people in the delegation have worked in vain.
