Chapter 1572 The Poor Emperor was Assassinated Suddenly
After the banquet.
Su Mingzhe came to Wanyan Ping's boudoir, a little drunk.
Although she was only taking a concubine today, Xiao Longnu loved her sister so much that she still had the entire mansion decorated with red and colorful decorations.
Wanyan Ping's boudoir was completely painted red.
When Su Mingzhe came in, he saw Wanyan Ping, wearing a bright red skirt, sitting quietly under a red gauze tent under the candlelight.
When Wanyan Ping saw the man coming, she put down the round fan that was covering her face. Her beautiful and clear eyes were filled with watery light, and her pure and innocent look was lovable.
Of course.
Today's night is short, and this is not the time for Su Mingzhe to feel sorry for her.
Before Wanyan Ping could prepare herself mentally, the man's passionate kisses were already falling on her face and neck like raindrops.
In an instant, the girl's whole body began to feel hot and she was involuntarily held in the man's arms.
Afterwards, Wanyan Ping swayed back and forth on the sea like a small boat.
Another short spring night.
Wait until the next morning.
Su Mingzhe walked out of the bedroom and went to Xiaolongnu to have breakfast.
"Where's Sister Ping?"
Guo Fu didn't know much about matters between men and women, so she was very curious when she saw Wanyan Ping, who was usually very diligent, had not yet gotten up at noon.
"Your sister Ping was not feeling well, so she had breakfast in the house."
Because Wanyan Ping's identity attribute added so much, Su Mingzhe couldn't help but have sex with her three times.
Therefore, Wanyan Ping will probably have to eat lunch indoors today.
After breakfast, Su Mingzhe went to work.
The Song Dynasty implemented a policy of high salaries to maintain integrity. Civil servants not only had high salaries, but also received frighteningly generous benefits and bonuses.
Of course, if you don’t report in on time, your salary and bonus will be deducted.
Although Su Mingzhe didn't care about the money, his behavior was too different from that of his colleagues and it was not good.
After work, all his friends knew that Su Mingzhe had a new concubine, so they did not invite him to go out and play anymore.
After work, Su Mingzhe went to Tang Anan's place.
Tang Anan never took the initiative to ask Su Mingzhe for any status.
After Su Mingzhe stayed at Tang Anan's house several times, he keenly discovered that this woman was not a good person.
Afterwards, Su Mingzhe went to find the Beggar Gang disciples to inquire about Tang Anan's news.
Speaking of Tang Anan’s story, we have to start from three years ago.
At that time, Tang Anan had just made her debut and had been a courtesan for only a year when she was noticed by Emperor Zhao Yun who was traveling incognito and was brought to the palace to play for half a month.
When the imperial censors learned that their emperor had an affair with a prostitute, they felt like they had been hit in a sore spot. They immediately went into crazy mode and directly scolded Zhao Yun as a tyrant like Emperor Minghuang of Tang and Emperor Huizong of Song.
At that time, Zhao Yun still wanted to be an effective monarch. In order not to affect the morale of the court, he reluctantly released Tang An'an from the palace.
In the following three years, Zhao Yun left the palace several times to find Tang Anan to renew their old relationship.
Unfortunately, he was too cowardly as an emperor. He never dared to offend civil and military officials and could only date Tang Anan secretly.
Tang Anan was once the most popular prostitute in Lin'an City. At the peak of her career, she was admired by thousands of people.
Since she followed Zhao Yun, she has started to stay at home and no longer has any affairs with other men.
Even so, she is still called a witch who brings disaster to the country and the people.
Having been inexplicably blamed for such a huge crime and having to live his life in secret, Tang Anan felt a grievance in her heart that was like the waters of the Yangtze River, surging on and on without end.
At this time, Shi Songzhi came to her and offered her a clever plan of "transplanting flowers and trees" and "changing the sky and the day".
Tang Anan's perspective suddenly opened up.
And then.
When Su Mingzhe came to Lin'an City, Tang An'an became Su Mingzhe's woman under Shi Songzhi's arrangement, and they were in love forever.
……
After guessing Tang Anan and Shi Songzhi's plan, Su Mingzhe began to feel sorry for Emperor Zhao Yun.
In history, Zhao Yun reigned for a total of forty years, making him one of the longer-lived emperors of the Zhao Song Dynasty.
However, after Zhao Yun ascended the throne, the government was controlled by the powerful minister Shi Miyuan.
In order to avoid being deposed by Shi Miyuan and to protect himself, Zhao Yun began to indulge in alcohol and sex, and became a tyrant for a full ten years.
Fortunately, although Shi Miyuan was a powerful official, he was not incompetent. Even though he controlled the government, he still actively maintained the operation of the court.
After Shi Miyuan passed away, Zhao Yun thought he no longer needed to hide his talents, and began to work hard to become an effective emperor. However, the opposition in the court was too strong, and no matter what Zhao Yun did, there were people who opposed him.
Zhao Yun, who had a weak character to begin with, was PUA'd into being a "waste" by court officials after persisting in reforms for ten years. He simply gave up on himself and really became a tyrant addicted to alcohol and sex.
At this time, the treacherous minister Ding Daquan appeared, colluded with the eunuchs and the imperial concubine, kept Zhao Yun in the dark, and dominated the government. He embezzled money and extorted bribes, doing all kinds of evil things, and sold the intelligence of the Song Dynasty's arsenal to other countries, and even destroyed the defense lines in various places.
Seeing that the Song Dynasty was about to perish at the hands of Ding Daquan, the ministers united to impeach him and demoted him.
Afterwards, Jia Sidao regained his power.
Compared with Ding Daquan, Jia Sidao is smarter and more greedy!
After Jia Sidao became the prime minister and gained power, he kept testing Zhao Yun's bottom line. The most despicable thing was that he forcibly seized the concubine from the palace.
Faced with such a domineering Jia Sidao, Song Lizong Zhao Yun and Song Duzong Zhao Xie were both angry but dared not speak out.
……
Although Emperor Zhao Yun was pitiful, Su Mingzhe himself also wanted to rebel and usurp the throne.
This coincides with the plans of Tang Anan and Shi Songzhi.
Therefore, in the face of Tang Anan's flattery, Su Mingzhe was happy to pretend to be ignorant.
More than a month passed.
The label of "Shi Party" on Su Mingzhe is becoming more and more solid.
It is September now.
Xiaolongnu has been pregnant for nearly three months and is experiencing severe pregnancy reactions.
In order to take care of Xiaolongnu, Su Mingzhe gradually reduced his social engagements outside.
When needed, Su Mingzhe would go to Tang Anan to rest.
……
October.
Su Mingzhe's new position finally came down.
He was the envoy of Jingdong East Road and Jingdong East Road, and concurrently the governor of more than a dozen prefectures including Qi, Qing and Yi.
"Congratulations, Lord Su. I believe that Lord Su will definitely win the battle and bring you good news!"
Yang Gu smiled sarcastically, his eyes full of provocation.
The appointment of Su Mingzhe was proposed by Yang Gu.
You know, this position is not a good one.
If we move the time forward twenty years, when Jia Sidao's father Jia She had just recovered more than a dozen states in the two routes, the court gave a person such a high official position, which must have been a great honor for him.
Unfortunately, these two routes and dozens of states were just a flash in the pan for the Southern Song Dynasty.
Not long after, the Southern Song Dynasty treated the two rebel armies harshly, especially instigating several rebel armies to kill each other. This led to rebellion of several rebel armies, especially the Red Turban Army, which surrendered to the Tartars.
Now that Su Mingzhe is going to take up his post in Jingdong, he needs to negotiate with the Tartars.
When he suddenly submitted a memorial proposing the appointment to Su Mingzhe, both Su Mingzhe and Shi Songzhi were at a loss.
You know, Yang Gu is also a member of Shi Song's party.
Yang Gu's sudden proposal was simply a rebellion.
Su Mingzhe didn't know when he had offended this "uncle of the king".
……
Yang Gu's aunt was Empress Yang of Song Ningzong.
Song Ningzong had no sons, so he selected several clan members to enter the palace and adopt them as his sons.
The crown prince before the death of Emperor Ningzong of Song was named Zhao Hong.
Zhao Hong once threatened that if he ascended the throne and became emperor, he would settle accounts with the powerful prime minister Shi Miyuan.
As a result, Shi Miyuan learned the news and joined forces with Empress Yang to forge the imperial edict of Song Ningzong, deposing Crown Prince Zhao Hong as Prince of Ji and enthroning Prince of Yi Zhao Guicheng as the new emperor, changing his name to Yun.
After Zhao Yun ascended the throne, he was always grateful to Queen Yang, took good care of the Yang family, and entrusted them with important tasks.
The Yang family and the Shi family also became friends because of this.
After Shi Songzhi became the right prime minister, he had a good relationship with the Yang family and they were considered to be in the same party.
Yang Gu's betrayal of Su Mingzhe has really caught everyone off guard.
Compared to Shi Songzhi's surprise and anger, Su Mingzhe was openly surprised but secretly happy.
You know, he had wanted to leave Lin'an for a long time, and now that his wish had come true, he couldn't contain his joy.
However, even though he was happy in his heart, Su Mingzhe, like Shi Songzhi, glared at Yang Gu and left in a hurry.
