The capital of the Northern Song Dynasty was established in Bianliang, Tokyo (now Kaifeng, Henan), and Xijing Henan Prefecture (now Luoyang, Henan), Nanjing Yingtian Prefecture (now Shangqiu, Henan), and Beijing Daming Prefecture (now Hebei Daming) were the accompanying capitals.
Bianliang, because it was the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, is also called "Bianjing" by many people. (It is estimated that the rigorous book club will ask Jin to change its name to Bianjing after the Northern Song Dynasty. Explain that compared to Bianliang, I am more I like the title of Bianjing. We are talking about the Water Margin, not a rigorous historical textual research, just use Bianjing.) It is located in the east of central Henan Province, on the south bank of the Yellow River.
Since Bianjing is the capital of the capital, it is naturally magnificent, divided into inner and outer cities, as well as imperial cities.
Today, there is no sound near Wanshengmen in the outer city. Many imperial officials are waiting here. Even the emperor sent his new favorite Li Yan to wait for General Tong Guantong, who came from the northwest and returned to Beijing to report on his duties.
As the saying goes, guns, poles, squeezing out, politics, power, and fists are the last word. Although Tong Guan is not in Beijing, he has held military power for many years and has accumulated a lot of power. These civil servants who only know how to dance, don’t care. Whether it is hatred or slander, there are really not many people who really dare not to give the Tongda general face to face, except for Cai Jing's group.
At noon, a neat roar suddenly appeared between the heaven and the earth.
These civil servants usually take good care of themselves, their bodies have long been blessed, they are sweating profusely by the sun, and they are miserable. When they hear this sound, they are all refreshed and tidy up their appearance.
They knew that General Tongda had arrived.
As far as I can see, the huge "child" character handsome flag is waving in the wind, and General Tong Da is in the lead in heavy armor.
Behind him, eight hundred black armored horses, uniform equipment, uniform steeds, and uniform pace, converge into six straight lines, rampaging on the official road, with extraordinary momentum, and the neat sound of horseshoes, it is suffocating.
They are Tong Guan's personal soldiers. This time Tong Guan returned to Beijing to report on his work, and they were personally accompanied all the way.
The reason why Tong Guan brought so many people was to frighten those righteous men who wanted to kill the people on the way, and secondly, to show the imperial officials in the capital to show them that General Tong Da could only be Tong. General, if you want to cut off my Tong Guan's military power, first ask my subordinates if you can agree!
Near the gate, Tong Guan began to slow down. Slowly, the eight hundred soldiers behind him also gradually slowed down. Finally, they unified and stopped together. The movements were like flowing water, without the slightest extra fancy, and even the war horses kept honestly. In the same posture, no horse is looking around.
Baiguan, who was already covered by the dust with a gray nose and face, saw this, his expression changed again.
This General Tong Da has a good command of the army.
"General Tong Da, it's been a lot of trouble and hard work all the way." Li Yan said with a smile.
Tong Guan stood up and got off his horse, "Haha, your majesty is destined, and the ministers naturally have to travel day and night. Chief, you have not seen you for many years, your style is still there, haha..."
Li Yan, Yang Jian and Tong Guan are all in the same group, but in full view, they can't say much, bowed, "Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time, the miscellaneous family will not let you rest, General Tong Da, please. "
"As it should be!"
Tong Guanlong walked into the city without even looking at the court officials on both sides.
His eight hundred soldiers did not dismount their horses, so they were waiting in front of the "Wanshengmen".
Baiguan was slanderous, but no one dared to reprimand him face to face, and he had to accompany the smiling face, one by one, "General Tong Datong worked hard."
After passing the Suzaku Gate, and then entering the Xuande Gate, you entered the imperial palace.
The Zichen Palace was the palace where the Northern Song Dynasty held court meetings.
"Xuan, General Tong Guantong attended, and he gave him a sword to go to the palace."
"Today's meeting, General Tong Guan does not need to kneel."
"The Taishi Cai Jing doesn't kneel."
"... Liang Shoudao..."
"..."
"Chen, Xie Your Majesty Longen."
The six consecutive rituals do not kneel, but the civil and military officials all seem to have become deaf and mute, not listening.
Today, above the court, Cai Jing, Wang Wei, Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng, Zhu Meng, and Yang Jian (after Yang Jian’s death, Li Yan took over), who were later called the Six Thieves of the Northern Song Dynasty, are all present, and they can be described as a gathering of heroes.
Today’s dynasty meeting could be said to be specially held for Tong Guancai. Song Huizong sat on the dragon chair. After the officials saw the ceremony, they did not open their eyes to find excitement, allowing the emperor and Tong Guan to be the emperor in front of everything. The human face said some unnutritious witty words.
However, other people were willing to be puppets, but Taiwei Gaoyu was a little restless.
His intention to intervene in military power has not been three or two days, and he has secretly joined Cai Jing. This time Cai Jing seized Tong Guan's handle. It was a rare opportunity. Gao Qi was prepared to take Tong Guan in one fell swoop. Let Tong Guan can't eat and walk around.
But now, Cai Jing is sitting on his grandmaster chair in an old manner, with no intention of attacking him at all, which makes Gao Qi puzzled.
Gao Liu had been secretly watching for a long time, Cai Jing never gave a clear answer, until half an hour later, Cai Jing glanced at him slightly.
Does this mean hands-on
Gao Yu is a little puzzled, this is different from the original plan...
If left in normal times, Gao Qi is also a deep old oil seed in the city, but it is of great importance today, he can't control so much, and directly speaks out more and more, saying:
"Your Majesty, the journey of General Tongda is naturally hard. Kechen once heard that the general raised a private army in captivity. Shouldn't this matter be explained?"
Song Huizong took a look at Gao Yao with satisfaction, and the officials also cheered up.
It finally started.
"Oh? Tong Qing, since Taiwei Gao has asked, how do you explain it?" Song Huizong asked with a smile.
Tong Guan saluted, "Chen... no explanation!"
The officials were shocked and there was no way to explain. Is this acquiescence? It doesn't make sense, how could General Tong Da defy the law so easily
"What does Tong Qing mean?"
Gao Yu interjected: "General Tong Da can't justify it, right?"
Tong Guan didn't even look at Gao Yu, and said to Song Huizong, "Your Majesty, this is simply nonsense. The Weichen has guarded the northwest for his Majesty for many years, and he has never slackened for a moment. Now the Weichen is stigmatized, and I beg your Majesty to be a veteran. Call the shots!"
Tong Guan not only did not plead guilty, but instead bit Gao Qi. Gao Qi was frustrated and cursed:
"Well, you an old man with self-respect, you will not plead guilty when you die!? Taishi Cai, please say something to the old man."
Everyone looked at Cai Jing.
After a long time, Cai Jing opened his eyes and slowly said: "The old minister did impeach General Tong Da a few days ago. Now the old minister has found out that General Tong Da is dedicated to his country and has no selfishness. The old minister was mediocre and listened to the slander. Please come down."
There is no sound in the hall, and the needle drop can be heard.
After a while, Tong Guan twisted around and smiled at Gao Qi, "Teacher is old, it's you, a villain who slandered my hundreds of thousands of troops in the northwest? Go on, you, mother, grin, look for death!"
After all, Tong Guan grabbed a fist that was really bigger than a casserole, and slammed a punch on the face of Taiwei Gao.
In the Water Margin, he framed Lin Chong and poisoned countless Liangshan heroes Gao Taiwei, who was beaten by Tong Guan with a Venus in his eyes, his nosebleeds, his body swayed a few times, and he couldn't find Beiyou~
