Chapter 17 Giving away

Shilin Qingliu became a derogatory term on the Internet in the 21st century later, but in the Song Dynasty, and even later Ming Dynasty, Qing Dynasty, Shilin and Qingliu were all respectable existences. Especially in the Song Dynasty, where civil officials controlled politics, the power of Qingliu's filing discussions should not be underestimated!

Even if it faces the swords, bows and horses of the Jin soldiers, Qingliu's logistics discussions are not completely useless... Of course, Qingliu's mouths and cannons cannot retreat Jin soldiers, but they can incite the people to coerce the court and the government offices. Especially the people of capital-level metropolis such as Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo, Daming Prefecture in Beijing, and Yingtian Prefecture in Nanjing, are more likely to be incited by Qingliu because of their high education level and concerns with current affairs.

In the original history, Zhao Ji abdicated and fled, and Zhao Huan wanted to escape, but he could not, and the public opinion incited by Qingliu was exerting his power... After all, the people of Kaifeng Prefecture and the imperial guards of Kaifeng Prefecture were almost the same group of people! The imperial guards of the Song Dynasty gave priority to recruiting children from the camp, and the imperial guards allowed their families to follow the camp. Therefore, a Kaifeng military class was formed who served in the army from generation to generation and joined the army for generations.

Once Kaifeng citizens were incited by Qingliu, they would influence the Kaifeng imperial guards through the deadly soldiers... Therefore, Qingliu had the ability to influence the decision-making of the Song court in this chaos in the late Northern Song Dynasty.

In the original Jingkang year, this ability first prevented Zhao Huan from escaping and helped the Kaifeng defenders led by Li Gang block the first wave of offensives of the Jin thieves.

Later, this ability forced Zhao Huan's court tore up the peace agreement after the Jin soldiers retreated, refused to cede the three towns, and launched two Taiyuan relief battles, successfully destroying the only military force of the Kaifeng court...

Now, Zhao Kai used the Donghuamen Incident to stop Zhao Ji from escaping, and also made the inner Zen that Kaifeng Qingliu wanted to push.

Therefore, the civil servants and scholars of Kaifeng Prefecture had no good impression of Zhao Kai. But they could not use their mouths to bombard Zhao Kai for the time being - because there was no reason, the "Donghuamen Incident" was a serious crime for scholars, but it was not enough to incite the people of Kaifeng, especially when Zhao Kai took the initiative to ask north to fight against the Jin Dynasty.

Second, because Zhao Kai's army has not left yet! Although Zhao Kai has only more than 2,000 troops in total, it is enough for the Qingliu people in Kaifeng Prefecture to dare not act rashly. After all, swords are eyeless and stabbing people is painful... And Zhao Kai is about to leave, why not wait for him to leave before firing?

As for the cannon, of course, I have to fire from afar!

The third reason is that the Jin thieves are approaching and the New Year is approaching. Therefore, the most influential Tai students in the Shilin Qingliu in Kaifeng have already gone home for the New Year... Of course, not all of them have gone home. Most of the Tai students who live near the Jin army routes from east to west are still in Kaifeng Prefecture.

In addition, there are several leaders of the Imperial Academy who are very popular, who did not choose to leave at this moment when the Jin soldiers were approaching.

Before the end of the year, in the middle of the night, in the empty Imperial Academy, there were several houses with lights on.

In one of the houses, a scholar in his forties was guarding a red mud stove for making soup, sitting leisurely with his legs raised, fiddling with a pot of lamb stewed in the clay pot on the stove, and then taking advantage of the dim candlelight to look at an article in his hand.

The middle-aged man who was cooking mutton in a house in the Imperial Academy was named Chen Dong, whose courtesy name was Shaoyang, and he was from Danyang, Zhenjiang. Looking at how old he was still an Imperial student, it is probably possible that his Confucianism level was not very high, and it would be difficult for him to go to high school in this life.

However, in the current Imperial Academy, Chen Dong of Danyang is a famous figure! In the early years, when Cai Jing and Wang Fu were quite powerful, he was not afraid of the other party's power and dared to publicly express his objections. He also wanted to provoke Tai students to write letters to impeach the traitor. But before he could get enough of the number of people to write letters, the two traitors had already stepped down...

However, Chen Dong was not discouraged, but soon found a new theme, which was to impeach the Hebei army, control the Hebei army, the prefectures and counties, the peace office and the transportation envoy, and the Prince of Yun Zhao Kai was dismissed from his troops, and he was given money to sell the country and held his own troops!

There are three serious crimes in total, and one of them is suitable for Zhao Kai!

If Prince Yun Zhao Kai was defeated in Hebei, then the crime of losing his troops and humiliating the country would not be gone! If Prince Yun Zhao Kai successfully stolen the country and begging for mercy, it would be a crime of traiting the country! If Zhao Kai is really the Song version of Li Shimin and beat the Jin thieves away, it would be a serious crime of owning troops.

In short, no matter how Zhao Kai works in Hebei, it is unforgivable!

Because the directions of the three serious crimes are different, Chen Dong is preparing three copies of the bulletin chapters. Now he has just drafted the first one, which is to impeach Zhao Kai who lost his troops and humiliated the country. He is planning to complete the remaining two copies during the New Year. After the New Year, the news of Zhao Kai's defeat, stolen the country or victory is transmitted back, and he can contact the Tai students as soon as possible to write a letter.

Chen Dong, who was holding the article he wrote, pondering word by word, suddenly put down the draft of the chapter, listened to it, and heard footsteps and the sound of talking. He paused, identified for a moment, and suddenly Zhan Yan smiled and said, "Is it Deng Xiaomeng? But you smell the fragrance of mutton? Come in quickly."

Two hearty laughters came from outside the door. Then they saw the door being pushed open, and two men wearing moon-white shirts and squid towels walked in. It was snowing outside. Although they were wearing umbrellas, there were still a lot of snowflakes on their clothes, and their faces were also red with cold.

Chen Dong glanced at the two men. One of them was quite well-faced scholars. He was thirty-six or seven years old. He was an "old lady student" like Chen Dong. He was from Sha County, Fujian. He saw him holding a food box in his hand and smilingly arrived in front of Chen Dong, put the food box on a small table, and then pulled a chair and sat down.

The other man was a man with small eyes, black face, big nose, and a little short and fat, about twenty-seven or eight years old. He was a former Tai Tai student. He passed the Jinshi as early as the eighth year of Zhenghe and was in the same subject as Prince Zhao Kai of Yun. His name was Zhang Jun, and he was the chief clerk under the Taichang Shaoqing Li Gang.

Chen Dong smiled: "Zhang Deyuan, you are such a rare guest... You didn't go to the camp with Mr. Liang Xi (Li Gang), how could you have time to come to my humble house to eat mutton?"

Zhang Jun smiled wide and said, "Shaoyang, Yume and I are not as leisurely as you. The Jin thieves are almost at the city and are still lying in the Imperial Academy. They are either writing or poetry and books all day long. I don't know why you are so calm! We and Hu Mingzhong are both working hard. They just received the order of Mr. Liang Xi to go to Cangzhou to raise military rations. Hu Zhongming has left, and we are leaving tomorrow."

Chen Dong was stunned, "Go to Cangzhou to raise grain? Cangzhou is the front line of the anti-Jin period!"

Deng Su smiled and said, "Cangzhou is by the sea, and you can transport grain by sea. If the canal transportation is interrupted, the grain from the Southeast Sixth Route can only be transported by sea to Cangzhou, then by Fuyang Water, Yongji Canal to Daming, and then transported to Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo."

"Yeah?"

"Yes!" Deng Su looked at Chen Dong, "Brother Shaoyang, you are a scholar, and you can't help much in Kaifeng Prefecture. Are you willing to go to Hebei with me?"

"Go to Hebei together?" Chen Dong looked at Deng Su, then looked at Zhang Jun, as if he understood something, "Jiam, Deyuan, tell the truth, did Mr. Liang Xi explain something and ask us to go to Hebei to handle it for him?"

Deng Su and Zhang Jun looked at each other and laughed. Deng Su said, "It turns out that I can't hide it from Brother Shaoyang. I'm waiting to go to Hebei to contact Shilin to prevent Prince Yun from stolen money! Do Brother Shaoyang dare to leave this?"
