Lord Li belittled the Yangzhou capital Han Yishi zhongbao Dong Liangchen
As soon as he returned to Hedong, Li Gang pleaded guilty:
"The ministers are incompetent, and the generals do not listen to the dispatches, causing the lone army to go deeper and be defeated, and ask the emperor to rule the sins of the ministers..."
This was one of the best results that Emperor Qinzong had hoped for, and he happily issued an edict and demoted Li Gang to Yangzhou for the crime of "monopolizing on war and losing his teacher and spending money".
The sky was overcast, there was no sun, and there was not a hint of wind. On both sides of the official road, the trees are hanging their heads low, and the leaves do not move. This is July of the first year of The First Year of Emperor Jingkang of Chinjong.
The group of people who were pressed by the black pressure on the official road were walking slowly, no one was talking and laughing loudly, and everyone was silently walking slowly. Lu Junlin, the prefect of Hedong, led his subordinates and the people to send Lord Li Gang to Yangzhou. Xie Jianfeng, Zheng Sanniang, Zhao Qifeng, and You Junlong were also in the crowd of send-offs.
When they learned that Li Gang had been demoted to Yangzhou, Han Zhaohui and six others said that they would go to Yangzhou with Lord Li, but Li Gang resolutely disagreed.
Han Zhaohui tightened his brows: "Your Honor, although the Emperor does not dare to harm the Adult, but those miserly ministers of the Lord and the Lord regard the Adult as a thorn in their eyes, it is difficult to ensure that they do not harm the Adult's back, we go to Yangzhou with the Adult, that is, to protect the Adult along the way." ”
Li Gang smiled bitterly: "You are all great generals, you should go to the front line of resistance to Jin, Li Gang is now a criminal minister, how can you be protected?" ”
Xie Hongying said in a loud voice, "Your Honor, you are an important minister of the imperial court, the Great Song cannot do without you, the emperor is fooling around for a while, and does not need an adult." But when the time comes, it is natural to use adults. Zhaohui's words were right, and I looked forward to the adults thinking twice. ”
Xie Jianfeng shouted in a loud voice, "We are fighting for nine deaths on the battlefield, and the reason why We have killed the Great Man is to leave you, the important minister of the Dingguo Anbang, for the Great Song Dynasty." Now that adults are degraded to Yangzhou, and the future is more sinister and less auspicious, how can we rest assured? ”
Zheng Sanniang laughed: "Jianfeng often makes mistakes in what he says, but today's words are too good." Adults must listen to all of us, let us escort them to Yangzhou. ”
Li Gang's two pro-army captains, Wang Hu and Deng Fei, both said that they would be with Lord Li in life and death and would never leave.
Li Gang smiled: "You two have been following me for a long time, it turns out that I am in office, you follow me to serve the imperial court, although you do not have official positions, but you are all generals who can charge into the battlefield." Now that I am idle at home, I will keep you again, which will not only delay your future, but also deprive the imperial court of two warriors who can go into battle and kill the enemy. You will go to Lord Zongze at once, and the anti-gold front needs you. ”
Li Gang turned to Xie Jianfeng and his wife and said, "The two of you will immediately go to Cizhou with Wang Hu and Deng Fei, and take our pro-soldier team with you to serve Lord Zong Ze." Let Zhaohui and Hongying walk with me, with the protection of the two of them, you should be at ease! As soon as I arrived in Yangzhou, I sent the two of them to Cizhou as well. ”
Zheng Sanniang turned around and smiled secretly. Xie Jianfeng asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”
Zheng Sanniang smiled but did not answer. When she broke through to Sanguan Town, Xie Hongying secretly told her that she was pregnant for more than two months. Fortunately, the tearing and killing of the breakthrough battle did not alarm the tire gas, which was a blessing. The Third Lady laughed at Lord Li Gang for not knowing that Hongying was pregnant, and planned to let her serve in Lord Zong Ze's army!
Wang Hu and Deng Fei flashed tears and did not want to leave Lord Li. Li Gang repeatedly persuaded them to put state affairs first, and only then did they nod their heads in agreement.
Lu Zhifu and others had been sending Li Gang and his party to the Ten Mile Pavilion, where he had already sent someone to prepare the wine.
Lu Zhifu personally poured three glasses of wine, and with a sad look on his face, he said to the officials and people who were sending them off: "Lord Li Gang is an important minister of the country and the pillar of my Great Song Dynasty. The adult is temporarily going to Yangzhou, the imperial court can not do without the adult, the emperor will reactivate the adult sooner or later. These three glasses of wine represent the love and expectation of the people of Hedong for adults, please take care of them and be safe all the way. ”
Li Gang was very excited, and he said with tears in his eyes: "Li Gang is a sinner, and the love of the prefect and the fathers and elders of Hedong really does not dare to be a sinner, and the sinner thank you." ”
As soon as Li Gang reached the ground, Lu Zhifu and the people who sent him off rushed to return the gift.
