Chapter 238: The official family returns to the capital of Bian
When Zhao Huan's lord arrived at Chenqiaoyi, Zhao Huan was very pleased that he did not see the officials who were greeting him.
My words are becoming more and more effective.
Zong Ze and others led 20,000 imperial guards to Bianjing to take over the city defense.
After all, there are 140,000 Eight Gate Imperial Guards gathered at Yu Bianjing City. If Li Gang and the Eight Gate give him a big surprise, it would be interesting.
Zong Ze's speed of taking over the city defense and arsenal was quite fast. Under the leadership of Zhu Xiaosun, the imperial guards took the lead in handing over the right fish talisman.
Of course, Zong Ze also reviewed the various armaments of the imperial guards in detail. He knew that these waste-like imperial guards had no possibility of threatening the official family at all, so he began to take over the city defense work of the four walls.
There is no renewal garrison in Bianjing, and the city defense army is the responsible person of the imperial guards of the capital. After the imperial guards of the capital were disbanded by Zhao Huan, they were unable to restore their organization.
Then there was the takeover of the arsenal and the city defense of the palace city. Chen Cong was responsible for this part, and Cheng Chu led 1,500 relatives to the palace city, and Shen Cong took over the city defense.
Since then, Zhao Huan’s journey back to Beijing has been smooth.
Zhao Huan frowned and looked at the direction of Bianjing. Didn’t he explicitly prohibit the greeting? Why was there a large area of kneeling outside the city gate?
It was not until when they saw Zongze that Zhao Huan realized that these were all surrendered soldiers of the Eight Gate Imperial Guards. When they participated in the march into Bianjing, they were in panic all day long.
Zhao Huan ignored them and let them kneel outside the city.
Even if there is no desire to betrayal, there is still a reality of rebellion. Zhao Huan did not kill their entire family, which is a manifestation of benevolence and righteousness. Until now, the marriage officer is still fighting bloody battles in Pingzhou, and his return date is uncertain.
Zhao Huan entered the city gate and thought he had entered the wrong city.
The entire streets of Bianjing were clean and there was no one. If it weren't for the Yongding army soldiers standing on both sides of the Imperial Street, he would have thought he was entering Datong Mansion, not Bianjing City.
"What's going on? Zong Shaoqing?" Zhao Huan asked.
Zong Ze wiped his sweat and said, "Officials, this is all the arrangements of Taizai Li. Bianjing City has just experienced a great chaos, and there are still people involved in the case who have not been brought to justice. If the people are arranged to greet him rashly, there may be trouble."
Zhao Huan nodded. Li Gang was meticulous and cautious in his work, so it was not surprising that he had such an idea.
"Let's go." Zhao Huan stood in front of the Song Dynasty Palace, with the city gate open. On both sides of the Daqing Palace, there were officials following the officials. After the officials, all officials sat on the ground.
The Song Dynasty did not promote the kneeling ceremony. When Li Gang saw the big red crown at the entrance of the palace, he knew that it was the official family.
"Welcome Your Majesty to return to Beijing!" Li Gang's voice sounded, and the sound of shouting and shouting in the sea was like a wave, gathering into a wave, mixed with the sound of thick horns, drums and chimes.
Zhao Huan was not nervous this time.
I deserve to be as proud as you! This is my due respect!
He walked forward step by step, swaying with his head high without any panic. He walked step by step to Daqing Hall and came to Li Gang.
"Thank you, thank you for your hard work." Zhao Huan helped Li Dazai up from the ground and said.
Li Gang suddenly knelt down and said, "I am guilty of death. I entered the palace on a rainy night and threatened the inner palace, and then followed Sima Yi's old story. I deserved to be punished by death."
Zhao Huan wanted to pull Li Gang up, but he couldn't pull it up no matter how hard he was. He was quite strong.
"I forgive you for not guilty." Zhao Huan was convinced by Li Gang, and he was also a stubborn person, very sensible.
Li Gang was still kneeling on the ground, Zhao Huan shook his head and said, "Get up."
Only then did Li Gang get up from the ground. He looked at the heroic new emperor and sighed inwardly that the revival of the Song Dynasty was just around the corner!
"Dad Jay Li has been wronged during this period. A group of people in the court are unable to help Da Zai. The queen is a cowardly person, and she will cause trouble for you. If Da Zai hadn't turned the tide, I would still eat sand in Datong Mansion. What crimes are there? No sin, no sin." Zhao Huan said with a smile.
He turned around and looked at the civil and military officials. There were many people inside, all of which were young faces. Zhao Huan also saw Chen Dong and Ouyang Che sitting upright at the end.
Ouyang Che is a rule-abiding person. He looks ahead and is meticulous. Chen Dong is much bolder and keeps up and looks at Zhao Huan standing in Daqing Hall.
"A new atmosphere! Li Taizai! It really lives up to my expectations!" Zhao Huan was most moved by the changes in the Song Dynasty.
When he left, the average loyalty of the ministers in the court was only 35 points, and the average loyalty to the Song Dynasty was only about 50 points.
Now, most courtiers are loyal to him at over 70 points, while their loyalty to the Song Dynasty is at 90 points.
Li Gang is very sensible, and many of them are talented people recorded by Master Zhong!
"Official family, please spare the lives of the people of Bianjing." Li Gang bowed his head again and said.
"Huh? Are you talking about the relatives of those palace ladies? Those are people who are absolutely unforgivable." Zhao Huan refused the proposal.
Li Gang wiped the sweat from his forehead, as if the official did not know what he was talking about.
"All the relatives of those palace ladies are handled by the three tribes involved in the case. There is no doubt that even if the government wants to pardon, it will not work. Because they are all buried now." Li Gang said, not those people he was talking about.
"What kind of people in Bian Jing are they?" Zhao Huan asked in confusion.
Li Gang pointed to the people of Bianjing outside the palace and said, "According to the past rules, the people of Bianjing will be exiled for three thousand miles."
"all?"
"all."
"What are the rules in the past?" Zhao Huan asked in surprise. Are there any such rules?
Li Gang replied: "The law of the ancestors. When Emperor Taizong conquered him, he returned to the capital...."
Zhao Huan frowned and asked, "Aren't you going back from a big defeat?"
Li Gang looked around and said, "Conquer Naihuan, conquer Naihuan. This is not the old minister's words, it was said by Lu Duan, the prime minister of Emperor Taizong."
"Is Emperor Taizong's ancestor's law to expel the people of Bianjing?" Zhao Huan asked in confusion.
What is the relationship between this royal throne fight and the people of Bianjing?
"The people of Bianjing did not object to death. They would repay the Lord with death. They deserved to be punished by thousands of deaths. Emperor Taizong was kind and exiled to him for three thousand miles." Li Gang said.
"Then you don't have to abide by it. The people of Bianjing are innocent. If they resist desperately, who will lose their heads, isn't they a big scar? If the people do not resist desperately, it is not the people's crime. In the future, this is a waste. What will happen to you?" Zhao Huan shook his head and said.
Emperor Taizong lost the battle formation, and the prime minister wanted to make King Xiang Yuankan the new emperor. It was because you, Zhao Guangyi, did not control the court officials, and blame the people for not working for you?
What strange ancestor's method is this?
"I have another request. What should I do if the soldiers from the eight gates outside the city do? Please spare their lives. They don't know what the eight gates are going to do." Li Gang asked again.
Zhao Huan said angrily: "I don't know? I can say I don't know when I set out from various military routes. Did I know when I walked to Cizhou? Did I still know when I arrived in Xiangzhou? I still don't know what they were going to do after advancing for a month? Are they so stupid?"
"They are indeed so stupid." Li Gang replied truthfully.
