An error occurred while processing s private files

At the court meeting, the emperor stood high on the dragon throne, and the civil and military ranks...

The eunuch announced the order that the Grand Marshal Li Hu was the pillar of the Song Dynasty. He worked hard and made great contributions. He specially granted marriage and married Princess Maode to Li Hu.

All the officials were shocked, and then everyone looked at Li Hu, and the atmosphere in the court suddenly became cold.

What is the emperor doing? Do you anger Li Hu? Are you looking for trouble if you have nothing to do?

Li Hu was calm and accepted the imperial edict.

Qin Hui impeached Li Hu in court, "The general was arrogant and domineering, holding the emperor hostage, and occupying the princess..."

The court was in chaos immediately. The emperor was stunned. He never expected Qin Hui to suddenly come out to impeach Li Hu. Now you impeach Li Hu, exposing my purpose, and Li Hu won't eat me. The emperor was furious and scolded Qin Hui. Wang Yu, the right chief of the Shangshu, was so angry that he cursed Qin Hui and almost rushed up to beat him up.

Qin Hui was also angry and then impeached the king.

The servant said that this strategy was offered by Wang Yu, and Wang Yu was a party of Li Hu, who helped Li Hu coerce the emperor, robbed the princess, and made trouble for the tiger, causing trouble to the court.

The court was in an uproar. All civil and military officials knew that Wang Yu was the emperor and Qin Hui was also the emperor. Now he was rebelling in his nest, and the result of rebelling in his nest was to reopen all the emperor's small conspiracies. This was an extraordinary period, and the ruler and his ministers had to work together to overcome difficulties. As a result, the emperor ignored the safety of the country and actually wanted to destroy the Great Wall and kill Li Hu. What is this a foolish monarch?

The emperor's face was lost.

At this time, Li Hu stood up and said something beautiful, and found a way for the emperor, but everyone knew that the emperor and Li Hu had turned against each other. The emperor compensated his wife and soldiers, and it was a tragic situation.

The court meeting ended in a hurry. The emperor fled back to the inner palace. The center discussed and removed Qin Hui, drove Qin Hui out of Luoyang. Wang Yu was dismissed.

The next day, Li Zongzhen resigned from the position of Zuo Chengyi, the Secretary of Shangshu on the grounds of being unwell.

On the third day, the emperor issued an order to worship Li Fu as Shang

He wrote to the left chief, Zhao Mingcheng was Shang, and Zhang Xiaochun was the right chief.

On the fourth day, Li Hu paid homage to the emperor. The two talked for only an hour, and Li Hu said goodbye and left.

On the fifth day, the emperor issued an order that the dragon body was unwell and needed to go to Chang'an to rest, and all the state affairs were entrusted to the King of Han. On the same day, Li Hu ordered that Wang Dazhong would become the chief of the palace, command the Sima Zhuban Zhihe and the front army of the palace, and be responsible for the palace guards and the garrisons of the capital.

In November, the first year of Jianxing in the Song Dynasty (1126 AD).

On the first day of November, Li Hu married Princess Maode.

The wedding was very grand and the emperor attended it himself. Li Hu was a strong man, while the emperor was leaving Luoyang on the second day of the lunar month. He regretted it and had already started counting the days.

That night, Li Hu walked into the new house and saw a bride who was crying.

Princess Maode's heart was broken, and her happiness quickly dissipated from the invasion of the Jin soldiers. First, the Cai family was defeated, her marriage was forcibly ended, and then Cai Tao was killed, and then she was betrayed by her brother like a livestock. Li Hu once became her savior. This legendary hero in the north had a magical life experience. He was actually the grandson of the former prime minister Li Qingchen. In her opinion, the hope of the revival of the Song Dynasty was completely entrusted to this great hero. However, just a few months later, the great hero began to show his true face and wanted to ruin the Song Dynasty.

"Is this my possession of you?" Li Hu sat opposite Princess Maode, looking at the beautiful young woman in tears, smiling happily. He remembered the evil thoughts he had just met Princess Maode and Li Shishi, and now this thought has become a reality.

"The conscience of heaven and earth, I really don't mean to dominate you." Li Hu did not have any sympathy for Princess Maode. On the contrary, he had a kind of revenge... "But your emperor brother is very generous. He insisted on giving you to me and rewarding you as a gift to me. If I refuse, I will be impeached, saying that I am arrogant and domineering, despising the imperial power, and even saying that I hold the emperor hostage and have the ambition to seize your Zhao family. What do you think you will do?"

"So, I have to marry you home." Li Hu tapped the desk with his fingers, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I don't want to marry you. You turned out to be Cai Jing's wife and two children. The Cai family and my Li family have a deep feud. Isn't it too cruel to me to raise my enemy's children now?"

Princess Maode was so scared that she fell to her knees and begged in pain.

"Did you know about this before?" Li Hu sneered without a trace of pity, "Are you plotting against me with your Emperor brother?"

"No, I don't know about this, really don't know..." Princess Maud was very scared and cried, "I just want you to spare my child."

"When your father and Cai Jing destroyed my Li family, did you ever think about forgiveing ​​my Li family's children?" Li Hu thought of the miserable years of escape, and felt aching in his heart. "When I was still in my infancy, I fled with my father, but your father never thought about forgiveing ​​our Li family? Did Cai Jing ever think about giving us a way out for life? Who else can live in this world except me in my Li family?"

Princess Maode's face hurts

cry.

Li Hu stood up and turned to walk out the door, "I can raise your child. Whether your child is surnamed Cai or Zhao, I can raise it, but remember it for me, you and Zhao are both my women now, don't betray me, otherwise..."

The door closed with a "clang" and only helpless crying remained in the room.

The situation is getting worse in December.

Wang Yuan, the Great Governor's Office in the Northwest, reported that the Dangxiang people crossed Hengshan and launched an attack on Jingyuan Road. Fortunately, the Northwest Army was prepared and blocked along the way, and the battle was fierce. Since the Dangxiang people tore up the alliance and launched an attack, they always had to achieve some results. Therefore, it is unknown when the battle will end and when the Dangxiang people will withdraw their troops.

The Northwest Army blocked the Dangxiang people in the north of the northwest, but did not block the Tubo people in the west. The Dangxiang people obviously made careful preparations and they joined forces with the Tubo people to attack. The Tubo people captured Xige City and Jishi Army, and are currently attacking in depth on Xihe Road.

On the Daibei battlefield, the Jin army stopped attacking Datong. On the Hedong battlefield, the Jin army also withdrew from the Chengtian Army Fortress, but guarded the well path to the death.

Zong Han placed the Western Tent Army on the line of Zhending and Handan. His vanguard army confronted the Hu Lie Army in Liyang, but Zong Wang took the opportunity to enter Shandong and quickly conquered Qizhou. He is currently attacking the hinterland of Shandong. The commander of Qizhou's military commander Guan Sheng led his army to retreat to the Yanzhou area and met with the Liangshan army in Songjiang.

Song Jiang reported to the Grand Marshal's Mansion that Jingdong prefectures and counties either fled under the attack of the Jin army or surrendered. At present, only a few Shandong rebels are fighting against the Jin army. Song Jiang planned to gather these rebels together to block the Jin army from the Liangshanbo area to attack the capital.

The prefectures and counties on Huainan East and West Road, Jingxi Road and Jinghu South Road rebelled and defected to the southeast court. The Nanjing Grand Governor Zhe Kecun and Xiangyang Grand Governor Mao Army were busy quelling the rebellion. Although there was no major war, there was constant small wars and the military spent a lot of money.

Zong Ze, the left-behind Tokyo, tried his best to strengthen the defense of Bianjing city and train the new army, but the Jin army was very strong. According to his estimate, at the end of December, the Jin army would definitely take advantage of the Yellow River to freeze and attack Bianjing.

Although the battlefield situation is bad, there is also good news. With the efforts of the court and the local government, after abolishing and revising a series of financial systems, although tax revenue has decreased significantly, the people's hearts are gradually stabilizing, and the implementation of the Sanji administrative division system is also playing its role. As long as we persist, the financial crisis will definitely be alleviated next year.

As taxes are paid in various places and the collapsed finances are saved, the court's main energy immediately shifts to the formulation of new reform strategies. A series of new reform systems will be gradually implemented next year, and Xinguanxue will also become a new official school next year.

In mid-December, Yue Fei reported that the Jin army launched an attack and successfully crossed the river. The Tiger and Martyrs retreated in full swing. On December 22, Zong Han led his army to the city of Bianjing and began to attack the city.

On December 24, Zong Wang led his army to defeat Song Jiang, Liangshan army retreated south to Nanjing to join Zhe Kecun, while the Jin army directly killed Bianjing.

On December 26, the two Jin troops met and gathered about 200,000 troops to attack Bianjing City.

Soze, the left-behind Tokyo, led 40,000 troops to defend the city.

On December 28, Yue Fei led his army to rescue Bianjing, Wanyan Olu, and Yelu Yujiu fought fiercely in Banqiao. Liu Guangshi's Linyan army was defeated by the Jin army, resulting in the defeat of the Northwest Army, which then dragged down the entire battle situation. The Huli Army had to retreat to the Xingyang line to ensure the safety of Luoyang.

On December 30, Zhe Kecun went north to rescue him, and encountered the six Xi troops of Wanyan Talai in Yongqiu. Zhe Kecun, Song Jiang was defeated and retreated to Nanjing.

The situation in Bianjing suddenly became bad.

In the second year of Jianxing in the Song Dynasty (1127 AD), the first month.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Luoyang Grand Marshal's Mansion.

Li Hu returned quickly from Chang'an. The first news Yuanye told him was that Zhe Kecun, and Song Jiang was defeated in Yongqiu.

"Yue Fei was defeated, and Zhe Kecun was also defeated. The troops that rescued Bianjing were driven out of the capital by the Jin army." Yuan Ye looked helpless and shook his head and sighed, "Now only Zong Ze and his 40,000 troops are still defending Bianjing."

"What's the situation in Bianjing?" Li Hu asked while walking in the mansion.

"Zong Ze is seventy years old this year." Chai Yun followed Li Hu and sighed bitterly, "I once told you that someone else would guard Bianjing, but you just didn't listen."

"If Zongze had any accidents, Bianjing would definitely be lost." Yuanye did not support Li Hu's appointment at that time, and planned to request Li Hu to replace him in Tokyo after the New Year. Unexpectedly, the Jin army was as powerful as the Yellow River. The Tiger Lie Army, which lacked the main force, could not stop the Jin people at all.

"What will happen to him?" Li Hu was also worried, because in his father's story, Zong Ze died of illness while garrisoning Bianjing. If he got the answer to his father again, his overall plan would fail, but there was no way. The 40,000 troops were all Hebei rebels recruited by Zong Ze, and they only followed Zong Ze's command.

"Is Yue Fei back?" Li Hu asked.
