What a beautiful flower, sinister and vicious Queen Mother!

Wu Haogu listened to Empress Dowager Liu's words, and already understood in his heart that the old party was severely attacked by her.

Zhao Ji only needs to ask about Ren Boyu's bullet seal tomorrow, and let the ministers express their positions one by one, and all those who support Ren Boyu are traitors who "are happy when they hear the Liao Lord, and worried when they hear the Liao Lord"! The old party in the DPRK and China has not yet been wiped out!

This Ren Boyu's article is well written, but he didn't know Zhao Ji's thoughts! I don't know how this guy does an official? How did you write such an article?

It's just that Wu Haogu could have imagined that Ren Boyu was "hit by the virus released by the chapter" to have such a bullet in mind. What else could he have done? Confess to Zhao Ji, and then wait to taste the crane top red? He's a loyal servant, but he's not a fool.

As for his own killing...... This is also impossible, he is not the kind of Confucianism who never leaves his sword and convinces people with virtue, who will he kill? Besides, he is not the middle of the imperial history, how can he manipulate those officials and pawns of the imperial history platform?

So now he doesn't want to impeach Zhang Dian's father to Shamen Island at all, but only wants him to be safely driven out of Yushitai by Zhao Ji...... It's good to be able to release a Zhizhou.

As for whether his letter will be used as a tool to crack down on the old party gentlemen, he doesn't care about it for the time being.

And Wu Haogu still wants to pull the old party at this time, he is now too close to the old party, although the new party has a Cai Jing has a good relationship, but Zeng Bu, An Tao, Li Qingchen and most of the gang want to get rid of themselves.

Thinking of this, Wu Haogu spoke again: "Your Majesty, although Ren Zhengyan's letter is inappropriate, it can be used to confuse Lord Liao. ”

"Confusing Lord Liao?" Zhao Ji was a little puzzled.

"Your Majesty," Wu Hao Gu Dao, "the military strength of the Great Liao is strong, and it is not comparable to our dynasty, if you want to do it, you need to act secretly, and you must not let the Liao lord be vigilant." ”

Zhao Ji frowned, "Da Lang, first tell me how strong the Liao State is?" ”

Wu Haogu took a breath and said in a heavy tone: "At present, there are 12 palaces and 1 palace in Liao, with a total of 101,000 soldiers, all of whom are elite cavalry!" Among them, there are about thousands of armored cavalry known as Tielin, and the rest are elite cavalry equipped with human armor, which can not only ride and shoot, but also charge into battle, and can also dismount and fight.

In addition to this 12 palaces and a mansion, the Liao State also has tribal cavalry and leather room soldiers. Among them, most of the tribal soldiers came from the Khitan and Xi tribes, and the number and armor and equipment were inferior to the palace tent soldiers, but the Liao State had used the tribal soldiers to charge into battle for many years to preserve the strength of the palace tent, so the actual combat power of the tribal soldiers was better than the palace tent soldiers.

As for the leather room soldiers, they were also palace tent soldiers at the earliest, and they were the elite among them, but they became independent departments later, and now they are similar to the tribes.

The soldiers of the major tribes plus the soldiers of the leather room also had about 100,000 soldiers, and 20,000 of them were stationed in the city of Kedun in Mobei, called the Zhenzhou Anfu Army. This department has been fighting with the divination people for many years, and the top and bottom have endured hard battles, and their strength is not trivial.

In addition to these 200,000 elites, the Liao State also has 18,000 Han army guards and thousands of Bohai elite soldiers, all of which are usable soldiers, and their combat power is no less than that of the Western Army of our dynasty. ”

In other words, the weakened Liao State has more than 200,000 warlike elites! And most of them were cavalry that could move quickly. On the side of the Great Song Dynasty, 450,000 of the 500,000 forbidden troops were "pretended", and the remaining 50,000 soldiers of the Western Army were at most the elite level of the Liao State, and most of them were infantry. How can you beat the more than 200,000 cavalry-based elites of the Liao State?

"Wouldn't that be able to defeat the Liao Kingdom?" Zhao Ji's words were a little gloomy.

"It's not that you can't beat it," Wu Haogu glanced at Zhao Ji, who was frowning, "but you can't use a dignified battle to deal with the Liao State...... Even Emperor Xian and Zhang Xianggong also wanted to outwit Yan Yun, otherwise there would be no Jiehe Commercial Market.

Therefore, it is best for Your Majesty to hide the idea of Tuliao in his heart for the time being, so as not to be discovered by the Liao people. In this way, we can secretly accumulate strength, wait for the opportunity, and infiltrate the Liao State at the same time. ”

"Makes sense, too." Zhao Ji nodded lightly, he was not completely confused now, and he knew how many catties he had. The matter of cutting down Liao still has to be considered in the long run!

After saying a lot of words and going around in a big circle, Wu Haogu finally saved some of the situation for the old party a little...... I don't know if I can let Han Zhongyan and Fan Chunli, the two rulers of the old party, stay in the seat for a few more years - the old party is now being wiped out, which is not in line with the intention of the ancient way of martial arts.

Cai Jing is the head of the six thieves, although Wu Haogu scolds him, but as an upright and loyal minister, how can he get along with Cai Jing, the head of the six thieves?

……

"Goshidai...... Pestilence? ”

"Can you send the Hanlin medical officer?"

"How is Zhao Zhengfu? He's not sick, is he? ”

"How are Zhang Yuan and Ji Yi?"

In the political affairs hall, the rulers who had just finished lunch and were discussing political affairs now knew about the plague in the Imperial Historical Tower.

The one who came to report to them was Chen Qian, who was subordinate to Menxia Province. Like Ren Boyu, he didn't want to see the "big virus" Zhang Yuan and Ji Yi again in this life, so he pinched his nose and admitted the Yushitai plague - the plague is contagious, but he is in the office of Menxia Province, if the epidemic is passed on to a few ministers, then who will assist the official family?

So Ben Zhengyan can't go to the Imperial Prison...... When you go back, you must find an opportunity to take up a foreign position!

"At present, Zhao Zhongcheng is not sick, and the Hanlin medical officer has also gone to the Imperial Historical Observatory," Chen Qian replied, "Xiaguan and Ren Zhengyan have already moved to the Imperial Historical Observatory together, so that they can temporarily release Zhang Yuan and Ji Yi." ”

"Released?"

Fan Chunli didn't know the inside story of the "Early Morning Incident on the 13th Day of the First Month of the Third Year of Yuan Fu", so he was very surprised.

Zhang Yuan and Ji Yicai stayed in Yushitai Prison for less than a day, why did they let them go?

"Let it go," it was not Zeng Bu who said this, but Han Zhongyan, "They are all infected with the plague, and they have to stay in the Yushitai Prison any longer, what if it doesn't work?" ”

Can't do it anymore? Fan Chunli turned his head to look at Zeng Bu, Xu Jiang, Li Qingchen and Wen Yi, and there was a little horror on the faces of the four people.

What they thought of was not that Zhang Yuan and Ji Yi themselves were "big viruses", but that Zhao Tingzhi was playing ghosts!

Zhao Tingzhi has always been a ruthless person in the New Party clique, and he does not recognize his relatives - Zhao Tingzhi is a native of Zhucheng County, Mizhou, on Jingdong East Road, and most of his fellow villagers and classmates are old party ...... When he was a person, he didn't recognize his old feelings!

In addition, Lu Jia asked his son Lu Benzhi if he also died in the Yushitai Prison in vain?

Could it be that this time Zhao Tingzhi has intensified his efforts and wants to kill Zhang Yuan and Ji Yi in the name of the plague?

Maybe Zhang Yuan and Ji Yi are dead now!?

Before the four new party leaders could figure out what was going on, a gate Xuanzan had already arrived in the political hall, and he also passed on the official Zhao Ji's dictation, summoning the important ministers of the ruling party and the imperial historian to go to the Chongzheng Hall to ask for the right thing.

……

On the Chongzheng Palace, Zhao Ji, who had just said goodbye to his sister-in-law and Wu Haogu, was sitting on it, looking at a group of important ministers who came in a hurry.

In fact, Zhao Ji is also very reluctant to delve into the sins of Zhang Dian and Zhang Yuan's father and son - it's better not to have these two people! Don't check it out, find out an edict that passed on King Jian. How will it end then? His emperor hasn't done it yet, so of course it's impossible to let it out...... But if you want to kill your own brother, it's a bit uncontrollable.

Moreover, Zhao Ji found that he didn't seem to have a particularly reliable weapon in his hands now! The Imperial Knights had just been formed, and all the knights were training and waiting to receive their jobs in Cangzhou. And the "house slave" infantry has not been selected yet, and the house has not been built......

So, for now, it's better to make big things small and small things small.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji set his eyes on Zhao Tingzhi, who was sitting on a pestle in the corner.

Zhao Tingzhi looked good, his face was ruddy, he was full of energy, and he didn't seem to be infected with the epidemic.

"Zhao Qing," Zhao Ji asked, "How is Zhang Yuan and Ji Yi doing?" ”

"Your Majesty," Zhao Tingzhi said nonsense with his eyes open, "They are not lightly ill, and they have been allowed to go home to recuperate according to Ren Zhengyan and Chen Zhengyan's moves." ”

He hadn't seen Zhang Yuan and Ji Yi at all - these two "big viruses" had already brought down half of the Yushitai, and of course he didn't dare to see them. And there's nothing to see, and there's nothing to say when you see it......

"Oh." Zhao Ji nodded, "Did the Imperial Historical Observatory ever interrogate them?" ”

"It was Ren Boyu on the left, Chen Shixi on the right, Chen Shixi, and Chen Cisheng, the palace attendant, who were in charge of the interrogation, and the ministers did not participate."

"Ren Qing, Chen Qing," Zhao Ji asked, "Have you found out the results?" ”

Is the result unclear? Except for Ren Boyu and Chen Qiang, everyone else fell ill......

"Back to Your Majesty," Ren Boyu played, "these two people denied it in every possible way, and Zhang Yuan also stabbed blood in the book, so the minister will show the chapter again today to impeach Zhang Xuan."

Minister, please punish Zhangdun! ”

Is this going to be punished?

Zhao Ji frowned, scribbled on the bullet seal, and now he is still talking, it is just too unusual!

"The minister also pleases Zhang Dun!"

Right Zhengyan Chen Qian also spoke loudly at this time, and also shouted and killed.

Zhao Ji set his eyes on Zeng Bu, Zeng Bu and Zhang Dian are the same party, they should always say a few good words, right?

"Your Majesty, Zhang Dian is indeed guilty of losing the country! And he tried to take advantage of the change of the first emperor to support the establishment of the cause, and disobeyed the queen mother, his crime is not light, although it does not lead to death, it should also be pursued and degraded Lingnan. ”

Zhao Ji frowned, you are too bad a friend in the same party...... He looked at Han Zhongyan again, and Han Zhongyan had already vaguely guessed some of the reasons for Zhang's bad luck - his father could have twice supported the great decision, and he was very familiar with this set of tricks. Therefore, he knows that the situation of the old party is more dangerous than that of the new party, so he must not break through the bottom line of "degrading officials and stopping at Haizhou."

"The minister thinks," Han Zhongyan considered his words, "although Zhang Dian is guilty, but ...... His Majesty has already issued an edict, and in the future, he will be demoted to Haizhou. Zhang Dian is now in Haizhou, so it is better to live in Haizhou forever as the deputy envoy of the regimental training. ”
