Chapter 253 The Beginning of the End of the World

When the news of Su Shi's demotion reached Huanqing, Zhang Qing's first reaction was: "Hurry, send a few regiments to train, guard the gate of the comfort envoy. Without my order, the comfort envoy is forbidden to go out!"

The staff member was dissatisfied: "The strategy is like imprisonment. It is probably inappropriate for us to imprison the lord of the pacification envoy without authorization. The pacification envoy is of great reputation in Huanqing. If you do this blatantly, you will be afraid of arousing civil unrest. Besides, there are still hundreds of tiger and wolf servants in the pacification envoy's family. If we are not careful, we may be ourselves who are being cleaned up."

The aide was kind, and he also knew that Su Zhe and Su Shi had been demoted, and Zhao Xing had a close relationship with Su Shi and was also a hard-core Shu party. He thought Zhang Qi wanted to take action in advance and watch Zhao Xing. In response, Zhang Qi shook his head repeatedly and stomped his feet and said, "Shut up, I am not a person who can take advantage of the situation. Zhao Liren has had a teacher demoted him and he left himself. I am worried that he was doing something extraordinary. As for his official position, I am going to join forces with Fan Jingzhao, Xie Jingyuan (Xie Lin), and Fan Fuyan to jointly protect him."

What Zhang Qing could think of was Fan Chuncui. Zhang Qing's aide suddenly realized and was about to think of a safe way to stabilize Zhao Xing. Fan Chuncui's messenger rushed to Huanqing Road. He asked Zhang Qing for help and invited Liao Xiaoxiao to Jingzhao to teach singing and dancing.

"This old thief is more cunning than me," Zhang Feng praised: "He only invited everyone in Liao to sing and dance in Jingzhao, so I didn't have to come forward. Since I asked me to take on the horse personally, he must have the same thoughts as me... It would be better for this old man to think of a way. It would be harmless to seize his family, so let's see how he left."

After Zhang Qi said that, he immediately stood up to greet his subordinates: "Ma Preparation (Ma Cong), Zhang Dujian (Zhang Cun), order Qi army horses and go to Zhao Anfu's house with me... No, Zhang Dujian still went to the military camp to watch Zhang Cheng, the imperial envoy. The last time Zhao Liren fled from Mizhou was his brother Zhang Yong's help, and this time he had to watch his hands and feet."

When Zhang Shi hurried to Zhao Xing's house, he saw the scene at Zhao Xing's house and was glad that he ran fast. He saw that there were long carriages piled up outside Zhao Xing's mansion, and each carriage was full. When Zhang Shi arrived, Cheng Shuang, who happened to be standing on the steps at the door of the mansion, was shouting: "Is the seventh team all in all? If there are all in all, then the carriage will be set off."

Zhang Feng was shocked and sweated in a cold sweat. He quickly rushed up the steps to grab Cheng Shuang and asked, "Where is your seventh uncle?"

Cheng Shuang pointed to the door, and Zhang Feng breathed a sigh of relief and kept saying, "Okay, it's good that you haven't left yet. Soldiers, spread it and prohibit idle people from leaving the mansion!"

Cheng Shuang's face sank, and two strong men rushed out of the door. They held their arms and looked at Zhang Shi with their eyes squinted. The two strong men Zhang Shi were very strange. They felt that they did not look like people from Central Plains, but he had no intention of entanglement and stepped into the mansion. Cheng Shuang blocked him and asked with a sinister face: "Master, what is this? Is the court's order?"

Zhang Feng jumped and said, "I knew your adults would use the same trick again. I am not the stupid boy Wang Zishao. Let me go out of the way. I will talk to your adults."

Cheng Shuang thought with a gloomy face for a while and turned sideways to make way. When Zhang Feng rushed into the mansion, Cheng Shuang shouted behind him: "The Eighth Team, the Ninth Team don't have to wait. All those who did not come were included in the back team. You two teams will set off now."

Immediately afterwards, a sound of rushing carriages gradually faded away. Zhang Feng shook his head. Of course, he didn't expect the soldiers to stop the carriages on Zhao Xing's mansion and calmed down. He held his breath and rushed into the mansion.

In the backyard, Zhao Xing's men were all there, and several Gurkha warriors with big bags wrapped around their heads were scattered around the garden, as if to stop others from getting closer. The costumes of these people were the same as those of the two strong men who intercepted Zhang Yan at the door. In the courtyard, Wan Qi Yong frowned and walked in circles on the ground. Shuai Fan was full of grief and angry faces, pinching his fists tightly, and his teeth were clattering. Tyson leaned against a pillar with his arms held onto a pillar. Next to the pillar were two women dressed in gorgeous clothes, Liao Xiaoxiao and Kasli. Next to these two women, Zhao Xing was sitting on the ground in a daze, his eyes were dull and unconscious, and he seemed to be muttering something in his mouth.

Kou Lian'er was kneeling beside Zhao Xing, and she was crying. Hearing Zhang Feng's footsteps, Zhao Xing rolled his eyes and told Kou Lian'er: "Okay, you choose the way you will go by yourself. If I can continue to stay in Huanqing, I will naturally protect you and your parents, but if I leave, you can only die by yourself, so let's do it yourself."

Kou Lian'er kowtowed, stood up and said goodbye. Zhao Xing recruited Chen Buqun and said lightly: "I originally planned to build some achievements in Huanqing, so I asked you to help me. The situation is not clear now, but we have to prepare for it - I will send you a letter, you go to Mizhou to find Zhang Yong, and he will arrange for you to go to Danluo Island. Where is Pu Yi'an? Please use my letter to find Pu Yi'an and do what is said in the letter!"

Chen Buqun whispered: "Teacher, is things so bad? We..."

Zhao Xing replied gently: "Just in case!"

"Okay, then I'll leave, teacher, take care of you," Chen Buqun bowed and said goodbye.

After listening for a moment, Zhang Feng walked towards the courtyard with great strides. Wan Qi Yong hurriedly greeted him. Zhang Feng became more familiar with the tricks in the officialdom. He knew that Wan Qi Yong's move was intended to stop him. He relied on his old age to carry Wan Qi Yong over and continue to walk towards Zhao Xing. On the way, the others only glanced at the Master of Management in a casual manner, then stared blankly, bored and bored, and continued to be angry...

Zhang Qi sighed, walked to Zhao Xing, and shouted loudly: "Come on moving a chair. I am old and can't sit in the cold. Carry a chair and let me sit on it."

Zhao Xing was still dazed. At this moment, he approached Zhao Xing. Zhang Qing heard what the other party was muttering clearly. He was muttering: "I still have a lot of things to do, the road has not been repaired, the grass seed rotation has just begun, the production of the workshops built has increased, the school has just recruited students-ah, many things..."

Zhang Qi sighed and said, "It's almost two years since I left the office."

Zhao Xing subconsciously replied: "There are two or three months left to two full years!"

Zhang Qi immediately asked: "Why don't you finish this term of office? I remember that as soon as Li Ren arrived at Huanqing Road, he asked the court to allow you to finish this term of office. Didn't the court have already agreed?"

Zhao Xing shook his head: "Do you think I don't want it? News came from the capital that the court planned to revive Lu Huiqing and let him take over from Huanqing Road."

Zhang Feng was shocked: "The news is true?"

Zhao Xing nodded, and Zhang Feng asked in disbelief: "Didn't the court promise that you have finished your term? Aren't we doing a good job on Huanqing Road? By the way, what kind of name is the court to dismiss the people!"

Zhang Feng didn't know that in Zhao Xu, who was full of rebellious mentality, it was the previous permission of the court that caused trouble. The newly-entered new party members around him adhered to the philosophy of struggle and firmly believed that we would agree with whatever the enemy opposed, and we would oppose if the enemy agreed to shit after dinner. If the enemy agreed to be stingy after dinner, we would not let it go, hold it in!

Therefore, it is precisely because the former party members agreed that Zhao Xing would have completed his term of office and the new party came to power, even if the battlefield in Xixia is at a critical moment, the new party ministers should oppose it.

It was not outrageous to replace Zhao Xing. Zhao Xing vaguely remembered that when the Jin soldiers surrounded Bianliang City, the "State of Peace" adhered to the philosophy of struggle and did not hesitate to reveal the night attack plan of the "State of Peace" to the Jin soldiers, so that the Jin soldiers were prepared in advance, so that the last mobile force in the capital Bianliang was lost in this night attack, which led to the fall of Bianliang City. Afterwards, the State of Peace was proud of its "victory". Even if the Jin soldiers captured Bianliang, the country was destroyed. All the peace seekers who reported to the Jin soldiers were massacred by the Jin soldiers, and their wives and daughters were eruditely humiliated by the Jin soldiers. They also felt that they had won the victory of the struggle - everything for the struggle, life will never stop, and the struggle will never stop!

Zhao Xing didn't know that in real history, Lu Huiqing's first official position was to recruit pacification envoys in Huanqing Road. The court wanted him to make some military achievements in the border areas and then get promoted to the court. Unexpectedly, this guy was not good at doing his best and destroyed all the advantages Zhang Shi had gained from "deep base and shallow attack", which allowed the Xixia people to regain the victory... At this moment, history returned to the starting point with its huge inertia.

Zhao Xing didn't know this, and he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart at this moment, because according to the news from the Israelites in the capital, it was said that after the new party members proposed the opinion of replacing Zhao Xing, the emperor asked casually: "Zhao Xing, isn't Zhao Xing the big man? I know him. I heard that he did a good job in Huanqing, the 'Grass and Trees' plan, and I was very happy after hearing this name."

After the emperor said this, Zhang Dun hesitated, and the cabinet did not issue a "paste of yellow", and this matter was temporarily put on hold...

However, the new party members will eventually place Lu Huiqing in Huanqing, regardless of the current time and space.

In the original time and space, there were famines everywhere in the Song Dynasty. Only Zhang Qing frequently launched counterattacks against the people of Xixia, which was easy to achieve results. Therefore, if Lu Huiqing wanted to be promoted quickly, he had to be placed in Huanqing. In the current time and space, Huanqing was also the only choice of the new party, because after Zhao Xing planted trees in this year, digging water and irrigation, and the cultivation of the new crop sweet potato, Huanqing became the only highlight of the political and military aspects of the entire Song Dynasty. If you want to pick peaches, the only choice is Huanqing.

Zhang Feng was a veteran in the officialdom. After careful consideration, he found that Zhao Xing's resignation seemed irreversible. In private, Zhao Xing was the money bag of the Shu Party. If Zhang Dun wanted to deal with Su Shi, he had to take Zhao Xing first. In public, Zhao Xing was a capable general of the Shu Party. If he wanted to deny the achievements of the Shu Party and to free up a seat for Lu Huiqing, he had to take Zhao Xing.

After calming down, Zhang Feng tried to make the final effort: "Is this news true? Why didn't the Di newspaper say it? If the news is true, I will join forces with the Shaanxi territories to express the merits of the people who are leaving the people. Please allow the people who are leaving for one year."

Zhao Xing knew that this hope was very slim. Now the new party is attacking Su Shi to form a party, and almost all the Shu party members were demoted. Only Lu Tao and Zhao Xing were spared. Lu Tao was because he always respected the young emperor. After other officials went to court, they turned around and left after Empress Dowager Gao gave instructions. However, Lu Tao always asked the young emperor for his opinion. The young emperor felt that he was respected, so he did not move Lu Tao.

Zhao Xing was because the little emperor had a good impression of him. In addition, because of Zhao Qin'er, Zhao Xing kept giving gifts to the palace, and every time he had a gift from the little emperor, which made him feel the big man respect him. So the little emperor is not willing to touch Zhao Xing now.

However, Lu Tao was going to leave after all, because there were so many official positions in the court. After the New Party came to power, there were a large group of people waiting to be promoted. Lu Tao was not a person who was inclined to the ranks, otherwise he would not have to ask for instructions again and again when the little emperor was like a puppet. Lu Tao stayed in the court and took up a seat and contradicted the New Party again and again, so the last fortress of the Shu Party in the court must also be eradicated...

In addition, Zhao Xing must also leave because Lu Huiqing is a tycoon of the New Party and a student of Wang Anshi. If the New Party wants to elect Lu Huiqing to the throne, Zhao Xing must make a position. Therefore, no matter how much Zhao Xing is needed on the front line, no matter how Zhang Qi and other local officials try to keep him, Zhao Xing must be dismissed. Even if the country is destroyed, the New Party officials will do whatever they want.

"It's useless, national interests have no right to speak in the face of party interests." Zhao Xing replied indifferently: "All efforts will be false in the end."

Zhang Feng still wanted to continue working hard, he shouted: "Get a pen, I will write a letter to Fan Chuncui, write a letter to Xie Lin on Jingyuan Road, write a letter to Fan Yu on Fuyan Road, and ask them to mobilize their subordinates to report together..."

Zhao Xing said softly: "Mr. Zhang, what I have done now is ultimately false. The court ministers attacked us to form a party. Your joint press conference by Shaanxi officials is not going to send evidence of "composing a party" to the court? Once this letter is gone, I will not only be demoted, but I will definitely not have a good life."

Zhang Qi sighed and asked helplessly: "Are we just waiting for bad luck like this?"

After a pause, Zhang Feng added: "Perhaps, Lu Huiqing is not as excessive as he has been in the past this time; perhaps, after the demotion of the previous era, he has already changed, and it may not be."

Zhao Xing smiled secretly.

Life is so realistic. After knowing that things are irreversible, Zhang Feng has already begun to consider how to get along with Lu Huiqing.

Zhang Shi's words resonated with Liao Xiaoxiao. She interrupted and said, "Grandpa Zhang and Glory Lu were in the past when they were in decline, officials often extended a helping hand. Perhaps these two people can still recite the love of the past..."

Zhang Feng was excited and asked quickly: "It turns out that Li Ren and them still have this connection. Why not take advantage of the edict that the imperial order has not yet come down and move quickly..."

Zhao Xing glanced at Zhang Feng and found Wan Qi Yong. Shuai Fan also showed a longing expression on his face. He said slowly: "I have heard such a rumor: Fu Bi, the old prime minister who once recommended Wang Jinggong, was demoted to the prefect of Bozhou, but Wang Jinggong was not satisfied enough. He told His Majesty Shenzong that Fu Bi obstructed the new law and was like the "four evils" of Yao and Shun. If only his prime minister was removed, how could he stop other evil people?

Fortunately, the official ignored what Wang Anshi reported and allowed Fu Bi to take on that humble position. On the way to his new position, Fu Bi passed by Nandu and visited his old friend Zhang Fangping. At that time, Fu Bi was moved by his old minister, and he said to Zhang Fangping: "It's very difficult to know people."

Zhang Fangping said: 'Are you talking about Wang Anshi? I don't think it's hard to get to know him. Once I held a provincial examination with him, he messed up all the old rules, so I transferred him away from my subordinates and ignored him again.' The old prime minister felt embarrassed and set off for a long journey. In his old age, he often looked up at the roof and sighed silently."

Zhang Fangping means: Wang Anshi is an extreme self-center who is "the world is great, and I am the greatest". He believes that all rules should serve him, otherwise he will modify the rules and create the rules. Such people have no constraints in their hearts, so they do nothing to do when they do things. In order to catch a mouse, he will do whatever he wants, even if he breaks all the jade artifacts in the room, as long as those jade artifacts are not his.

Zhao Xing quoted this anecdote as saying: Wang Anshi is an extreme person, and those close to Mo Hei, and the people he is close to are all an extreme person who betrays his benefactor at any time. After Wang Anshi got the power, he tortured his benefactor Fu Bi severely. His student Lu Huiqing learned a lot about Wang Anshi's ability, and after he got the power, he tortured his mentor Wang Anshi, and Zhang Dun was also such a person.

In terms of relationships, isn’t Su Shi and Zhang Dun close? Su Shi was Zhang Dun’s friend when he was young and his son Zhang Yuan’s teacher, but Zhang Dun had no sympathy when he tortured Su Shi. What was Zhao Xing’s little favor to Zhang Dun? Perhaps in Zhang Dun’s eyes, the people in the world should revolve around him. Zhao Xing’s plea is right. If he hadn’t revolted around him at the beginning, it would be a serious crime and he would have to deal with it hard.

After Zhao Xingyi analyzed it, Zhang Feng was scrupled and did not dare to comment. Wan Qi Yong turned his face elsewhere and pretended not to hear anything. Shuai Fan clenched his fists and said, "Farmer and snake - the farmer should not pity the snake, it is his own way of taking it. For such an extreme self-self, giving him favors is to offend a poisonous snake. Brother Zhao does such stupid things too."

Liao Xiaoxiao was sweating profusely and hurriedly bowed to the ground to apologize: "Official, I know I am wrong, so I ask the official to punish him heavily."
