After some careful preparation, Zheng Qingyi bought off a personal attendant next to Zhao Yun, this person is named Xie Mulin, through him secretly began to say a lot of bad things about Gao Huaiyuan around Zhao Yun, and then a group of courtiers suddenly attacked, more than 20 people jointly impeached Gao Huaiyuan, listed several crimes against Gao Huaiyuan, and asked Zhao Yun to punish Gao Huaiyuan and correct the law.

Ji Xiancheng and Jia Qi did not expect this matter in advance, and were caught off guard by Zheng Qingzhi and others, so they immediately released the pigeon and passed the news to Gao Huaiyuan as quickly as possible, and asked Gao Huaiyuan to return to Beijing as soon as possible to deal with the matter, so as not to let Zheng Qingzhi and others take advantage of Gao Huaiyuan's absence in the court and fall for their plot.

In fact, Zheng Qingzhi's evidence of Gao Huaiyuan's crimes listed by them is very simple, but once bitten, it is a serious crime! The first is the crime of trespassing, the cause is that Gao Huaiyuan mobilized a large army to go north before he was allowed to send troops to Jizhou by the holy decree, which is a big taboo in the Great Song Dynasty!

The second is the crime of trespassing, that is, during Gao Huaiyuan's trip to the northern expedition to Jingdong, he repeatedly appointed officials without authorization, mobilized soldiers and horses not under his direct jurisdiction, and transferred the treasury of Yangzhou, Zhenjiang Mansion and other places beyond the scope of his authority to fund the military, which is another felony, and by the way, even Gao Huaiyuan's father Gao Jian was impeached together!

The third is to tell Gao Huaiyuan that when he was in Daye, he privately cast weapons and raised private soldiers, which was a disaster for the place! The reason for this incident was that they collected a message in Daye, saying that Gao Huaiyuan purchased a pit here, set up a smelting furnace to smelt copper and iron, and hired a group of people to privately cast weapons, and even collected a person who was driven out of Crouching Tiger Village because of his bad deeds as a witness, and wanted to convict Gao Huaiyuan through this incident.

The others are bribes, they have collected a lot of evidence of people who have given gifts to Gao Huaiyuan before, saying that since Gao Huaiyuan became the commander of the palace, he has wantonly accepted bribes in the army, excluded dissidents, appointed cronies, and had bad intentions.

The reason is that Gao Huaiyuan set up a drill school field in the suburbs of Lin'an, and once forcibly expropriated the land of several rich and unkind landlords at a low price, and now he has found these big landlords and jointly sued Gao Huaiyuan.

In short, a total of eight pieces of evidence against Gao Huaiyuan were listed, and Gao Huaiyuan was said to be a heinous person, not enough to hold an important position in the court, and they didn't want to kill Gao Huaiyuan, but just asked Zhao Yun to dismiss Gao Huaiyuan and depose him from Beijing, cut off his military power, and then drive him to the local government to pull him down.

Zheng Qingzhi is not greedy, although he has collected so much evidence of Gao Huaiyuan's crimes, but he also knows the relationship between Zhao Yun and Gao Huaiyuan, and knows that no matter how they frame Gao Huaiyuan, it is impossible for Zhao Yun to kill Gao Huaiyuan, so they are not greedy, they only ask Zhao Yun to deal with it impartially, cut Gao Huaiyuan's military power, and remove him from his position as a privy envoy.

It was after Gao Huaiyuan heard the news that he had to immediately leave Jinan Mansion and rush towards Lin'an.

In a situation like this, Gao Huaiyuan was indeed a little unexpected, originally he won a complete victory in the Northern Expedition, which should have been the time when he became famous, but he didn't expect that his affairs here had just ended, and Zheng Qingzhi led people to attack him.

But at the same time, he was not too surprised, because there was never a shortage of politics and struggle in the court, everyone had their own ideas, and there were no permanent friends in politics, and when a common enemy was put down, many people would soon choose a new enemy to erect as their object of struggle, and he became an enemy coveted by Shi Miyuan after Shi Miyuan.

Zheng Qingzhi They did this not without a little reason, starting from Han Yanxuan, and then Shi Miyuan, the Southern Song Dynasty court has always been in power for decades, although Gao Huaiyuan is not a governor of political affairs, not a prime minister, but he is more dangerous, because he is in charge of the military power of the land of Gyeonggi, and it can even be said that he is in charge of the dispatch of most of the troops in the Southern Song Dynasty, and he has a lot of relationship with the current saint Zhao Yun, Zheng Qingzhi They do not want to watch a Shi Miyuan fall, and then stand up a Gao Huaiyuan in power.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with them deliberately attacking Gao Huaiyuan, and Zheng Qingzhi is also a person with this ability, after all, there are many officials in the government and the opposition who want to look up to him now, and he is the emperor, so he can act as the vanguard to deal with Gao Huaiyuan.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Zheng Qingzhi just represents the thoughts of a group of civil officials, and he doesn't want to see Gao Huaiyuan, a member of the military generals, being too public, and their conflict is only a matter of time, but it is a little earlier than Gao Huaiyuan expected.

It is precisely because Gao Huaiyuan did not expect Zheng Qingzhi that they would attack so quickly, so this time he seemed very passive, although Ji Xiancheng and others were wronged for him in the court, but he still had to return to Lin'an as soon as possible and deal with this matter personally, otherwise, it is likely to cause discord between him and Zhao Yun, which will be very detrimental to the development of his plan in the future.

So after Gao Huaiyuan and his party got out of Jinan Mansion, they rushed to Lin'an all the way without stopping, although there will be a small amount of obstruction on the road from time to time, but don't look at Gao Huaiyuan's more than 100 people, the combat effectiveness is super strong, in the face of such stragglers, they only need a charge, no matter whether the enemy is dozens of people, or hundreds of people, they were quickly defeated by them, in short, no one can stop their pace, so Gao Huaiyuan returned to Lin'an very quickly, and the group of people rushed towards Lin'an almost day and night.

After a few days, Gao Huaiyuan arrived outside the city of Chuzhou, and a few days ago, Gao Huaiyuan did not choose to go around the city this time, but took his guards into the city to rest for a day, here, Gao Huaiyuan met the new Jingdong system envoy Zhao Fan.

At this time, Zhao Fan had already arrived in Chuzhou and took over the local affairs of Chuzhou, for him, the newly recovered Chuzhou was really a big mess, but Zhao Fan did not feel that this was a hot taro at all, because he knew that if he wanted to make a difference, he would not be able to surpass his father Zhao Fang if he stayed in any place in Jiangnan as an official, and only by governing Chuzhou and even Jingdong could he make him shine in the world.

And Gao Huaiyuan just provided him with such an opportunity, Zhao Fan has followed his father Zhao Fang in the army since he was a child, and he wants to surpass his father very much, and because he is in the official family, he is familiar with the way of being an official, and he is also familiar with the handling of various military and civilian affairs, plus his experience accumulation in various places over the years, after arriving in Chuzhou, it can be said that he can handle local affairs handy, don't look at his time in Chuzhou, it is not long, but the order here and Gao Huaiyuan just left, A sea change has taken place.

The business that was originally withered because of the war, after a large number of merchants poured in, most of the shops on both sides of the street have resumed business, and the residents of the city have also returned in large numbers, making Chuzhou City become a lot more lively, even those city walls that were damaged by the war, under the dispatch of Zhao Fan, a large number of craftsmen rushed to work day and night, and they have gradually recovered, so that the war-hardened Chuzhou City is once again full of vitality.

Walking on the streets of Chuzhou City, Gao Huaiyuan was quite satisfied with the scene in front of him, and nodded his head again and again to praise him, and Zhao Fan, who accompanied him, couldn't help but show a slight smug smile.

It seems that it is a wise move to recommend Brother Zhao, and only when Brother Zhao comes here can the land of Jingdong be restored to prosperity as soon as possible! can see Chuzhou City prosper again so quickly, Brother Zhao can be said to have contributed a lot! Gao Huaiyuan rode on the horse and said to Zhao Fan.

Zhao Fan was not too proud, but replied humbly: Master Gao praised it falsely, if you hadn't led the army to recapture this place and pacified the place in advance, Zhao Mou would have traveled here this time, I'm afraid that even if he has three heads and six arms, it will be difficult to restore the prosperity of Chuzhou so quickly! If it is said that there is merit, it can only be said that the tall man has made great contributions, and Zhao is just a foil!

Xia Guan also has to thank Gao for his promotion, if it weren't for the recommendation of Gao and Ji, Xia Guan is probably still an official in Huangzhou! How can you have the opportunity to do something here?

Gao Huaiyuan hurriedly excused himself and said: Brother Zhao doesn't have to thank me, I am also a talent for the country, with Brother Zhao's ability, more than a hundred times more than my Gao, if you only be a small governor in Huangzhou, wouldn't it really make Brother Zhao too talented? This is also the expectation of all, and it is also the grace of God!

Think about it, if it wasn't for Lord Enfu (Zhao Fang) who took care of me more back then, how could I be where I am today? I don't know if I'm going to be exiled somewhere! Now that he can be a minister in the same hall as Brother Zhao, Gao also wants to thank Lord Enfu!

Because of Zhao Fang's relationship, Gao Huaiyuan and Zhao Fan can talk very well, and Zhao Fan's views on Jingdong are mostly the same as Gao Huaiyuan's, so the two of them don't need to hide anything when they talk.

And this time Zhao Fan came here as an official, and he did uphold Gao Huaiyuan's original intention, according to Gao Huaiyuan's original design, in Huaidong and even all parts of Jingdong, vigorously promote Gao Huaiyuan's established policies, which made Gao Huaiyuan very relieved and felt that he did not choose the wrong person.

After the two entered Zhao Fan's mansion hand in hand, Zhao Fan held a banquet in the mansion to entertain Gao Huaiyuan, and Gao Huaiyuan no longer obeyed the alcohol abstinence order, and had a drink with Zhao Fan.

During the banquet, the two once again exchanged many ideas for the future governance of Jingdong, Zhao Fan can be said to be full of praise for Gao Huaiyuan's original idea, and promised to implement these policies, and speed up the dredging work of the canal, as soon as possible to open the canal, so that the southern materials can be more convenient to the north.

In the end, the two of them still talked about the current court, and Zhao Fan asked Gao Huaiyuan why he was in such a hurry to rush back to the court, after all, Jingdong had just stabilized, and Gao Huaiyuan was a little hasty to leave many things now.
