"The three officials said there was no money, the imperial camp said there was no soldiers, the prime minister said there was no one, and several scholars said they might as well ease the situation. The censors... impeached Li Gang and asked for the pursuit? Some people suggested killing Zhang Bangchang?"

Let me say that as the rain gradually subsided and since time traveling, Zhao Jiu successfully got rid of the isolation of the five important officials for the first time. On the evening of the next day, he officially came into contact with the memorials of the civil and military officials on the way, but the situation did not seem to have changed at all, as if everyone was a surrender faction.

But what's interesting is that Zhao Jiu didn't care too much about it.

"Good instructors know that this is what people want!" Kang Lu, who was standing next to the desk, hurriedly lowered his head and explained, his attitude was much humble than the previous few days.

"Who is Zhang Bangchang?" Zhao Jiu asked curiously. "It seems to have some impression."

Kang Lu was speechless and could only leave behind the 'what people' for the time being' and explain it slightly.

It turned out that Zhang Bangchang was the prime minister of Emperor Qinzong of Song before, and was also the last official prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty. During his time in Jingkang, he mainly did several things:

First, he was instructed by Emperor Qinzong of Song to replace Li Gang in charge of the government affairs and left the city to preside over the matter of asking for surrender to the Jin people;

Secondly, it was probably because it was very nice and handsome. In addition, Wanyan Oli, the marshal of the Jin Kingdom who was in power at that time, was not considered a cautious faction. Therefore, after the Jingkang Incident and the Jin army retreated greatly, he supported this person to the emperor, hoping that he would be the emperor of the Han people, thinking that the Jin Kingdom was vassal;

Finally, as soon as the Jin people left, Emperor Zhang Bangchang of the Great Chu Emperor invited Empress Dowager Meng (Empress Song Zhezong was deposed twice), who was widowed at home and was a Taoist priest, and in the name of Empress Dowager Meng, he returned the position of emperor to Zhao Gou, who ran to Nanjing (Shangqiu) to watch the situation at that time.

Zhao Jiu suddenly realized that he remembered that this person had come. It seemed that he had mentioned it in history books, but he only said that this person was against Li Gang during the Jingkang period and was a surrender faction, and the matter behind him was not mentioned. Of course, Zhao Jiu also thought so now. As for Kang Lu, what he kept saying about Zhang Bangchang's proclaiming emperor and returning, he didn't care too much... Such a person said that he was corrupt and that he was not competent, but at that time, the entire Tokyo city was surrendered from the emperor. It was hard to say that his knife was placed on his neck. If he really wanted to kill people because of his weak legs, he would not be able to kill them.

Of course, there must be a reason to kill. One is that he chose to surrender as the priest, and the other is that he became the emperor. But no matter what, he had to kill him at the beginning. There is no reason to exil people for several months before he found fault. Otherwise, what would the other ministers who came to exile from Tokyo think?

"Did I have no words to say to this guy at the beginning that day?" I don't know if it was a muscle memory, but Zhao Jiu now has some messy words when he opens his mouth.

"Some." Kang Lu calmed down and replied seriously. "When the official ascended the throne that day, he promised to be peaceful and prosperous with him, and he also gave him the position of Dazai..."

"Then why did you exil him later?" Zhao Jiu felt stranger. "And I have been chatting with the men and talked a lot these days, so why hasn't anyone mentioned this guy? "

Kang Lu lowered his head and said nothing.

"The high official said something." Zhao Jiu couldn't help frowning.

"I'm not hiding it to everyone." Maybe it was because I couldn't hide it, Kang Lu whispered to him, but said a few truths. "The Zhang family was called the pseudo-emperor that day, and many people advised everyone to get rid of it, but even so, everyone thought about his return to power and just asked him to settle it in Tanzhou. Only later did they know about him and Mrs. Jinggong... Everyone was furious, and at that time, we didn't forget to remind everyone that after a while, everything would go smoothly, we must issue an order to kill Zhang Bangchang."

"Madam Jinggong?" Zhang Jiu became more and more confused.

"He was the one in the palace of Emperor Taoist Emperor that day."

Kang Lu also started to speak softly, as if afraid that Yang Yizhong and other guards in front of the door would hear it. "On that day, Zhang Bangchang became a pseudo-emperor. When he entered the inner court, the Jin people gave him Mrs. Jinggong as his queen. Mrs. Jinggong repeatedly gave fruits and did not mention this thief. It is said that he had met in private and said that he had a lot of trouble. Even when Zhang thief retreated from the inner court, Mrs. Jinggong had sent him his arm and criticized the Supreme One. Now, Mrs. Jinggong has been locked and held in the road. I will wait until then to confess and get rid of it. But the official family fell into a well at this time..."

"It's really ridiculous!" Zhao Jiu, who had just understood what was going on, suddenly slapped the table and said something, which was shocked by Yang Yizhong inside the door and several squads outside the door.

"It's really ridiculous!" Kang Lu quickly lowered his head and agreed.

"How can you kill people because of such a thing?" Zhao Jiu was obviously furious.

Kang Lu almost bit off his tongue, as if he had forced some words to swallow.

"If Zhang Bangchang was killed, he would be killed in the first place in the name of the prime minister surrendering Jin, what can the people in the world say? He had to change his course because of this kind of thing?" Zhao Jiu was indignant. "Besides, is there anything wrong with Mrs. Jinggong's behavior? In that situation, if Zhang Bangchang had not protected her, what would she end up with? Could it be that she was captured by the Jin people? It would be reasonable to denounce the Supreme Lord and affectionately affection for Zhang Bangchang?"

Kang Lu wanted to speak but stopped.

"Let that lady be released, let her go and find Zhang Bangchang!" Zhao Jiu felt helpless when he came back. "Zhang Bangchang can be killed, but now it is useless to kill. Let the lady pass on a message, so that he will be confined to Tanzhou for the rest of his life and not be able to come out to show off. It is just a prisoner."

Kang Lu was speechless for a while, until the official turned his head and looked at him coldly, and then nodded.

Seeing Kang Lu responded, Zhao Jiu was about to read the memorial again, but suddenly realized: "How many palace servants are there?"

"Not much, three or five hundred..."

"Let's do this," Zhao Jiu said slowly. "Since the two saints have all been hunting north, they are really innocent. In addition, the ministers who fled from Tokyo, Hebei, Hedong and many of the officers who were separated from their families, so they gave them palace ladies... looking for the older and virtuous ones... it is the best of both worlds."

Kang Lu still bowed his head and said nothing this time.

"What does it mean?" Zhao Jiu was too lazy to play a puzzle with this person. "If there is anything I don't know, I will just say it."

"There are one or two hundred of them, who were the 'washing ladies' who were specially sent to visit Tokyo and Nanjing after the officials ascended the throne..."

"I... Zhao Jiu... am I so bad?" As soon as the other party said this, Zhao Jiu suddenly realized and then spoke in shock.

After ascending the throne, just a few months ago, the Jingkang shame just ended. Where did Zhao Laojiu get his sexual interest?!

"That's all the people like Chen Dong slander Your Majesty!" Although he didn't understand what the scum meant, Kang Lu seemed to have some of the official's ways and immediately explained. "How can the official ascend the throne without a palace servant? If you don't say anything else, who will serve Pan and the imperial heir?"

"Does Chen Dong die because of this?" Zhao Jiu, who was under the lamp, suddenly realized, but then was speechless. "Forget it... leave twenty people to take care of Pan Niangzi and the imperial heir, and then leave some mature and homeless ones to use as a palace washing. The rest of the young and beautiful ones were selected and given to the young officers who had left their families... but they could only stay here and place them, not go out, and not follow the army."

"The official family is wise!" Kang Lu nodded repeatedly. He was learning his lesson.

However, after all this was done, seeing that the Zhao family was about to continue reading the memorials, the official Kang adjusted his mentality slightly, but finally returned to the main topic he originally wanted to say:

"Speaking of this, the government may not remember it. The one who wanted to kill Zhang Bangchang the most that day was not someone else, but Mr. Li!"

"What do you mean?" Zhao Jiu put down the memorial of Lu Haowen, a scholar in the Zizheng Hall, and opened another memorial of the Censor. As soon as he slashed his eyes, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

"There are some rumors... One is that Prince Li hates evil and is angry at these people who cannot keep their integrity. He must kill them and cannot be quick!"

“What about the two?”

"The second reason is that someone said that Li Xianggong had a personal grudge with Zhang Bangchang. At that time, the court was newly established and wanted to use it to kill people to establish authority to determine the situation."

“Is there three?”

"have……"

"Say it."

"Third, it means that Mr. Li helped His Majesty rebuild the court. Although he made great contributions, this person and child regarded His Majesty and intended to use this to seize power, but he could not say that he had no control over the court."

Kang Lu, who stood between lights and shadows, said slowly. "Therefore, he had two major proposals in the court that day. One of them was to go to Nanyang. On the surface, it was naturally said that Nanyang could connect Guanzhong and the people in the northwest. In fact, whether there was any intention to suppress the Yuan Cong trust of the former Grand Marshal's Mansion to suppress the former Grand Marshal's Mansion, I'm afraid no one could say. Because Huang Xianggong and his friends agreed to go to Yangzhou before Li Xianggong came, even Liang Shijian, and people went to the southeast to raise funds early... The official family, not that we, the old people in the Marshal's Mansion, did not want to resist the Jin Dynasty, but that there was no danger to defend the Central Plains, and we have prepared Yangzhou, so it is not easy to repeat. Even the official family agreed that this was the same that day, and then dismissed Li Xianggong."

"So that's it...and what about? What about Zhang Bangchang?" Zhao Jiu continued to look at the memorial in his hand without raising his head.

"Zhang Bangchang... In fact, according to the previous argument between Nanyang and Yangzhou, this Prince Li demanded to kill Zhang Bangchang with all his might. Some people said that he was building a plank road and secretly traveling to Chencang, hoping to use this to eliminate a group of old Tokyo ministers, so that he could fill in the court while he was the only prime minister, so that he could take advantage of the situation of taking over the court's leadership to monopolize the power of the court."

Zhao Jiu suddenly laughed as he looked at the memorial in his hand.

"Don't the official believe it?" Kang Lu was happy when he saw this. "So why not summon a few old Tokyo ministers to ask? Didn't the official just want to meet the court officials who are here and ask about the defense of the Central Plains?"

"Which old officials in Tokyo are they?" Zhao Jiu turned his head and asked with a smile.

"Lu Haowen, a scholar in the Zizheng Hall, is a famous Taoist scholar. He originally resigned as the right minister of Shangshu and went to the governor of Xuanzhou early, but the road was not stable, and he was also worried about His Majesty's health, so he didn't have time to leave. Zhang Jun, the censor in the hall, has always been upright... These two are recognized moral figures and have escaped from Tokyo, so why should you see him?" Kang Lu quickly pointed to the Zhao Guanjia's hand and said with a smile. "And, aren't the memorials of these two people the oldest books the official family has read tonight?"

"Since it is recommended by Official Kang, I will meet these two people tomorrow!" Zhao Jiu touched the memorial of the Palace Censor Zhang Jun, and became increasingly laughed.
