Chapter 183: Ma Kuo brings an empty name edict
No need to ask, Liu Xing actually knew what they were thinking. Because the previous words were all foreshadowing, only when talking about the people around Zhao Gou was the real center point of Liu Xing's words.
Who are the people around Zhao Gou at this time?
Wang Boyan is really sure to lose the real person who is out of responsibility. In the era of Huizong of the Song Dynasty, he offered advice and contributed to a series of humiliating things such as cutting land, paying tribute, and claiming to be a minister. It can be said that Wang Boyan is an out-and-out capitulation faction and courtier.
What about Huang Qianshan? In the past, when there was a major earthquake in western Beijing and Hedong, Emperor Huizong sent him to visit. After he returned to Beijing, not only did he not report it to the truth, but he lied to his superiors and subordinates that it was just a small earthquake. As a result, the people in the two places became more and more impoverished in the following three years, and even sold their children and daughters on a large scale in exchange for food.
Later, after he ran to Zhao Gou, he lied that Song Huizong left a message before leaving to let him be the deputy marshal. It can be said that his current high position was deceived by him from Zhao Gou by fraudulent means. Huang Qian is a good person, and he has long been recognized as the spokesperson of the treacherous generation in the government and the opposition.
With just such two people by Zhao Gou's side, whether it is the upright Yang Yizhong or Sa Shoujian, who disdains to participate too much in the messy things in the world, whether for their own reasons or the current situation, they can only choose to unconditionally support Liu Xing's idea of believing in the king as the new king.
Since a number one general and a sect leader has no opinion, others, including Zhang Xian, naturally dare not speak out against it......
No one objected, just as Liu Xing was about to send someone to "invite" the king.
Suddenly, a messenger ran in outside the tent, knelt down in front of Liu Xing, and reported aloud: "Marshal, there is a team of people from outside the camp. The leader proclaimed himself to be the son of Ma Zheng, the eighth year of Wuju and the martial arts doctor Ma Zheng, and called your name to see you. ”
"Ma Kuo?" Hearing this name in his ears, Liu Xing couldn't help frowning when he repeated his name, and secretly thought: This name is so familiar, who is this person? He came to the master's camp so arrogantly and called me by name arrogantly to ask for a meeting.
Ma Kuo, Ma Kuo...... Oh, the protagonist in "The Lack of Gold", the kid who was known as the first diplomat in the world when the two Song Dynasty were communicating, came to ......
Suddenly, I remembered who the owner of this familiar name was. Liu Xing immediately turned around the messenger and said loudly: "Everyone, quickly follow me out of the camp to meet Mr. Ma!" ”
Surprised by Liu Xing's instantaneous changes, Yang Yizhong, Sa Shoujian and others were all confused by the second monk for a while. But the coach has already rushed out of the tent, and they can only follow the tent in a daze.
Soon. When Liu Xing walked quickly to the front of the tent, the first thing he saw was a team of stragglers in disheveled clothes and holding various tattered weapons. Among those people, a young man dressed in tattered Confucian clothes, not much different from when he entered Taiyuan, sat on a thin horse, looking towards the camp.
"That scholar, but Ma Kuo and Ma Juren?" Run to the camp gate. Before the soldiers guarding the door moved away from the horses blocking in front, Liu Xing looked at the young man in tattered Confucian clothes and asked.
When the young man heard this, he arched his hand slightly and said loudly: "Dare to ask if you are Liu Xing and Marshal Liu of Taiyuan City, who are the fried golden dogs in Taiyuan City, and dominate Wutai Mountain after breaking through?" ”
"It's me, it's me!" Listening to his words, Liu Xing knew that it was Ma Kuo. As soon as the horse was rejected, he immediately flew out of the camp.
Before and after falling into Ma Kuoma, Liu Xing carefully looked at the scholar in front of him, and at the age of sixteen, his father crossed the sea to the north to start his diplomatic career, and over the years, he repeatedly went to the Jin State, and hid a lot of first-hand information about the Jurchens in his heart.
I saw that this Ma Kuan's face was fair, but he was full of perseverance and perseverance. He is not very burly, but his hands holding the reins show that he must be a person who has been practicing martial arts for many years. Because he had a cocoon on his index knuckle that should have been the result of a long-term blow.
Seeing Liu Xing descending to greet him, a trace of shame appeared on Ma Kuo's face, and he hurriedly turned over and dismounted.
Standing with his head bowed and his fists clasped in salute, he said to Liu Xing: "Marshal Liu has repeatedly defeated Jin soldiers in the Hedong Digital War, and he can be called the first god of war in my Great Song Dynasty. It really tormented me to come down to meet me, a kid who escaped from the golden dog, today. ”
"Mr. Ma, you didn't have the weak crown to go to the Jin Kingdom with your father, enjoy the Jurchen mountains and rivers, and know the inside of the enemy army." Seeing his pantothenic greetings, Liu Xing stepped forward and pulled him up and walked towards the camp and said, "I heard that you are a living map outside the fortress, and this alone is worthy of me coming out of the camp to greet you." ”
Living map, yes, the reason why Ma Kuo dared to be so arrogant and let Liu Xing come to see. His greatest reliance was his knowledge of the terrain around the Great Wall and around the Five Kingdoms Castle. As well as the understanding of the customs of the Jurchen people, and the all-night Khitan, Mongolian and Jurchen languages, which others do not have.
Now that Liu Xingdao has broken his dependence, Ma Kuo secretly praised Liu Xing's ability to know people in his heart, and said with a smile: "It seems that Marshal Liu is really a hero and a young man." Not only is the leader invincible, but the ability to know people is also better! ”
While the two were talking, they walked in front of Yang Yizhong, Sa Shoujian and others. After Liu Xing introduced his generals and the five protectors of the Shenxiao Sect to Ma Kuo one by one, Ma Kuo also turned around and pointed to the people behind him.
"This is Ye Mengde, a bachelor of Hanlin, and that is Chen Kangbo, a doctor of Taichang." Pointing his finger at a few people in tattered robes behind him, Ma Kuo looked sideways at Liu Xing as he introduced.
Seeing that Liu Xing didn't react after hearing the names of the two people, he then pointed to the other two and said: "Those two are Kaifeng Shi Cao Zhao Ding and the doorman Wailang Hu Yin, these two are Wang Gao, the Lord of the Ministry of Lang and the Lord of Kaifeng Mansion, and Ouyang Xun, the Monk of Hanlin Chengzhi. ”
"Kaifeng Mansion Yin, Hanlin Chengzhi?" The previous four. Neither their official positions nor their names were of any interest in them.
It wasn't until Ma Kuo pointed to Wang Gao and Ouyang Xun to make introductions that Liu Xing's eyes widened and he looked at the two people carefully: People in positions like Kaifeng Mansion Yin and Langzhong, Shangshu Youcheng and Hanlin Chengzhi should all be able to reach the heavens directly. How did they come with Ma Kuo?
With this secret thought in his heart, Liu Xing asked the others, "Didn't Mr. Ma escape from the golden dog?" How did you come here with these adults? ”
Ma Kuo answered the question and replied calmly: "I escaped from the detention of the golden dog half a month ago and ran to Bianjing City first. I didn't expect that I had just arrived in Bianjing, and the golden dog had already kidnapped my two saints and set up Zhang Bangchang as the emperor of Great Chu. These are all famous ministers of our dynasty who are trapped in Bianjing, and they don't want to be attached to them. ”
Saying this, Ma Kuo pointed at Wang Gao and said: "This Wang Daren persuaded Zhang Bangchang to be a thief, and finally invited Zhezong to hang the curtain of Empress Dowager Meng. After meeting me, he adhered to the way of a courtier, persuaded Zhang Thief, and asked Empress Dowager Meng to write a letter to find the scattered princes to inherit the throne. Therefore, when I heard that Marshal Liu was discussing with Marshal Zong and Zhang Zhao to actively rescue the two saints, I led all the adults all the way north to find Marshal Liu. Because I and I believe that if we really want to recapture the Second Sage or any of the princes, if it is not Marshal Liu, there is no one else who can accomplish it. ”
Sour, really counted. Listening to Ma Kuo's words, full of crepe words, Liu Xing scolded in his heart.
However, in the secret scolding, Liu Xing also heard the purpose of this act: he hoped that he would launch the final result of this battle that was nominally to rescue the second emperor, but in fact he wanted to seize the emperor, so that the Great Song Dynasty could be re-established.
This is really unpredictable, and everything in the world is a coincidence! The young master just thought about making King Xin the emperor and going to fight against Zhao Gouna, so there was a special envoy of the former emperor and queen mother holding an edict.
Very good, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the master sails all the way against the current and finally has a smooth sail. It seems that the idea of the master to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes this time is no longer blocked by the so-called Heavenly Dao......
Thinking about this quickly, Liu Xing immediately bowed to Wang Gao: "Lord Wang, I don't know which prince Empress Dowager Meng intends to let inherit the unification?" ”
When Wang Gao heard this, he said with a sad face: "Empress Dowager Meng doesn't know which one the marshal can save, she hopes that you can welcome back the two saints with the old marshal of the sect and Zhang Zhaoyi." If it is really difficult to succeed, then I can negotiate with the old marshal of the sect, Zhang Zhaoyi, and Marshal Liu, and determine that the rescued prince is the successor to the throne. As for who it is, there is a vacant seat on the edict of Empress Dowager Meng, and we only need to wait for the discussion to directly fill in his name, and then we can welcome the new monarch. ”
I'm going to go! The edict with an empty name position, wouldn't it be if the master was happy and directly filled in the name of the master, and the great Song Dynasty could directly let the master sit? The Empress Dowager Meng in Bianjing City, this is really a complete loss of law in the chaos, and the bullshit rules and regulations have been forgotten by her.
I thought like this in my heart at first, and then in a flash, Liu Xing said secretly: But the people in the world still recognize the Zhao family, so don't say that the master didn't think about the emperor who didn't have bullshit at that time. Even if you want to be an emperor, you must first grasp the world and win the hearts of the people before you can succeed. Therefore, this empty name edict can only be cheaper for Zhao Zhen, the letter king of that typical villain......
Thinking of this, Liu Xing's face sank, and he said to Wang Gao, Ma Kuo and others: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have already rescued one of the princes. If I had to consult, I would only choose this prince as the new king. He is the eighteenth son of the Emperor Taishang, Zhao Zhen, the king of letters. ”
"This ......"
Hearing Liu Xing's words, it seemed that he had directly finalized the person who would inherit the throne, and he didn't want to discuss it with them at all, Ma Kuo, Wang Gao, Ouyang Xun and others all lowered their heads in hesitation.
Soon, Ma Kuo looked up at Liu Xingshi and said: "Marshal Liu rescued King Xin is a happy event, but whether King Xin should be the new monarch or not, according to the will of the Empress Dowager Meng, still needs to be discussed by Marshal Zong and Zhang Zhao. (To be continued.) )
