Chapter 17: The government is at its wits’ end! (Part 2)



It should be noted that what Zhao Jiu was talking about was a story about Emperor Xian of Han.

Back then, when Emperor Xian of Han was heading east, he encountered the rebellious army of Guo and Li. In order to escape across the river, Dong Cheng took a knife and chopped the hands of the person who was clinging to the boat. As a result, his fingers were piled up in the boat and could actually be held up with his hands. Although Emperor Xian of Han escaped, the palace ladies, ministers, books, carriages, and treasures that accompanied him were destroyed.

We are all smart people and naturally understand the meaning behind these words, so everyone was speechless.

Besides, Zhao Ding was a man after all. Although he came in a mess and saw his companions being killed, he did not lose his composure completely. Instead, he came to the circle of Zhao Jiu's tent and cried when he saw Zhao Jiu himself. Therefore, at this time, beside the campfire and in the tent, although the core members of the Zhao Song exiled court were completely speechless, the entire camp was unaware of it... On the contrary, because they could enter the state capital in a day or two, and they were having dinner at this time, there was laughter and joy. Inside and outside the tent, in heaven and on earth, the two formed a sharp contrast.

Amid the cheers, the first to break the silence was Li Gang, who was supported by his son: "Your Majesty is kind-hearted, and we, the ministers, have nothing to say. However, I would like to use the story of the Three Kingdoms to give you a piece of advice... The world can do without us, but it cannot do without your Majesty."

Emperor Zhao shook his head repeatedly. He did not agree with this statement from the bottom of his heart, but the other party's next sentence made him tempted.

"If that's the case, why not just let Yang Yizhong lead a hundred cavalrymen to secretly cross the river and tell the public that Yang Yizhong was sent to support Liu Zhengyan." Li Gang said slowly. "I will immediately call the senior official Lan here to continue pretending that Your Majesty is here with the other officials behind the curtains. This will not only prevent the people from losing their morale, but also prevent Your Majesty from being at a loss when facing the rebels. And if Your Majesty is quick and sends reinforcements tomorrow, or if Han Shizhong really doesn't rebel, then we can find him and end this matter, and then there will be no danger."

Zhao Jiu remained silent, and the people around him came to their senses and tried to persuade him. There was also a green-robed attendant named Hu Yin, who started to take off his clothes, as if he wanted to exchange clothes with the emperor, but was stopped by Yang Yizhong... It turned out that one side of the curtain here faced the Yingshui River embankment, and it was dark, so there was no need to pretend in clothing.

In this way, Yang Yi Zhong personally went out to dispatch a hundred cavalrymen, and they pushed the bewildered Zhao Jiu onto his horse. They secretly opened the curtain towards the other side of the Yingshui River, and urged Emperor Zhao to set off quickly and escape from there, and go along the river beach to look for Yang Yi Zhong.

At this moment, Li Gang could no longer bear it, but he broke away from his son's support, stepped forward again, and then held Zhao Jiu's hand under his horse at the edge of the curtain:

"Your Majesty, I have one more thing to say! The country is in danger, so Your Majesty asked us to be Marquis Wu. We are ashamed... But Your Majesty should not compare yourself to Emperor Xian of Han. I don't ask you to be Wei Wu, but I ask you to be Zhaolie!"

Zhao Jiu's heart moved, and he was about to reply, but unexpectedly, after Li Gang let go of his hand and signaled to someone, someone directly whipped the buttocks of the mount under Zhao Jiu's crotch. The mount felt pain and galloped out of the tent.

Zhao Jiu, with a mixture of desire to survive and shame, half-reluctantly turned out of the tent, then leaned over the river bank... The wind was cold at dusk in winter, and the feeling on the river bank was needless to say. When the official was blown by the cold wind, he got goose bumps all over his body, but no matter how he thought about it, it was wrong! No matter how he thought about it, it was ridiculous!

That’s Han Shizhong!

Emperor Zhao actually wanted to avoid Han Shizhong? !

Who is Han Shizhong?

To put it bluntly, Han Shizhong is Zhao Jiu's biggest reliance in maintaining a stable posture since he traveled through time!

Yue Fei was only 24 years old this year, and it was still 13 years before his great victory in Zhuxian Town; Li Gang was a good hand at stabilizing the government, and his role in the anti-Jin banner was irreplaceable, but his military level was obviously questionable; Zong Ze could indeed be trusted unconditionally, but he trusted Zong Ze, and Zong Ze did not trust him, and at this time he really couldn't join forces with the Tokyo Resident Division and cause trouble for Zong Ze...

Therefore, for a long time, the one who has always brought Zhao Jiu a sense of security and has always kept the trump card hidden in Zhao Jiu's heart is none other than Han Shizhong, who has always been acting as a shield in the north!

At this time, Zhao Jiu found out clearly that Han Shizhong was 39 years old this year, experienced in hundreds of battles, and had superb martial arts skills. He was in the golden stage of a famous general in history! This morning, he said that he would listen to Han Shizhong's words about whether he could fight or not. He was not deliberately challenging Li Gang, but the true words of this official!

Moreover, Zhao Jiu knew better than anyone that it was impossible for the world-famous Han Shizhong and the missing Yue Fei to rebel!

Of course, the current situation is very clear. Han Shizhong did not rebel. It was the veteran soldiers among his subordinates who wanted to mutiny... But even so, Zhao Jiu found it ridiculous!

Just now, Li Gang probably felt that this time they might really be separated by life and death, so he told him to learn from Liu Bei. He probably wanted to persuade him to be patient for a while, or to persuade him to learn from Liu Bei and not be ashamed to run away... However, if Emperor Zhao is Liu Bei, then Yue Fei and Han Shizhong are exactly Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, right?

Well, Zhang Fei's men rebelled, forcing Liu Bei to abandon his wife and children...

When Zhao Jiu thought of this, he was in a trance, but suddenly he woke up. He finally understood why this path seemed reasonable, but he had always found it difficult to accept it!

It was not a problem for these important officials to worry, because they did not know that Han Shizhong himself was completely reliable. They, the civil officials, including the military general Yang Yizhong, still believed that Han Shizhong himself might mutiny or rebel, and then passively or actively participate in it... However, Zhao Jiu knew that this person would not do so, because this person was his Zhang Fei! He was the confidant of his official family Zhao!

So the question is, Liu Bei waited for Zhang Fei to come and see him, but Zhang Fei's front army rioted (this is a very normal thing in troubled times), so what should Liu Bei choose at this time?
