Regarding the attitude of the Beggar Gang, the Song Dynasty officials are very ambiguous.
Although the Beggar Gang is fighting against the Khitan area, it is also very dedicated. The disciples of the Beggar Gang helped the Song Dynasty official army a lot, whether it is escorting food, spying on intelligence, or assisting in the attack...
But there is such a huge force under his control that no one in power would like to see.
Hearing the word beggar gang from Ye Chen's mouth, Zhao Ji also felt a little bit of resistance.
"Daddy is the worried beggar gang?"
Seeing Zhao Ji's worry, Ye Chen said lightly.
"Not bad."
Perhaps in front of his family, Zhao Ji did not hide anything, just shook his head and said, "Although the gang of beggars is focused on me, but after all, it is a gang of forces and is not under the control of the court... hundreds of thousands of disciples of the gang of beggars, if it is taken by someone with a heart. Using and controlling the Beggar Gang will be a huge blow to Da Song!"
Ye Chen smiled lightly: "Daddy has ever thought that the disciples of the beggar gang are not in the hands of the beggar gang leader, but in the hands of the court...If everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, how many people are willing to be beggars?"
"Chen'er's remarks seem to have some truth...just, hey!"
When Zhao Ji heard the words, his eyes brightened, but quickly dimmed, and he shook his head and said: "In the past, Wang Xianggong presided over the New Deal, and the first emperor also admired it, but he encountered opposition from so many people and ended up in a hurry."
As an emperor, how could Zhao Ji not know where the country’s ills lie?
But with the failure of Wang Anshi's New Deal, even Zhao Ji did not dare to touch this red line after he succeeded.
The root cause was the release of the military power at the very beginning, and the literati was lifted up, leading the literati and the emperor to rule the world together, and finally a huge civil official system was gradually formed without checks and balances.
As for the generals, their status has become extremely low.
Under this circumstance, how can they beat Liaoren and Xixia?
And Ye Chen felt a little regretful in his heart when he heard what Zhao Ji said.
After getting in touch with Emperor History, he knew that when Zhao Kuangyin released his military power through a cup of wine, it was not that he did not leave behind!
As the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin knew what impact his actions would have in the future, but he had enough confidence-that is "Emperor Dragon Fist"!
This is a martial arts that only the royal family can practice, and the foundation of its practice is Dragon Qi!
The reason why Zhao Kuangyin relied on a pair of iron fists to lay down a huge country and fight south and north, almost invincible and invincible, was because of this magical martial arts.
In fact, "Emperor Dragon Fist" has been kept in the library.
However, the emperors of the past, except Emperor Taizong Zhao Dezhao had contact, all gave up martial arts for various reasons...
In this way, the emperor could not personally conquer.
After the release of the military power by a cup of wine, the ability of the generals to lead the soldiers is also in decline, and then the tragedy of Jingkang's shame occurred.
After thinking twice, Ye Chen spoke again.
But the next remarks shocked Zhao Ji into a cold sweat.
"Father, I heard a secret about the life experience of the Beggar Gang's main gang... Qiao Feng, the Beggar's gang main, is actually not a Han, but a Khitan!"
"what!"
At this moment, Zhao Ji really couldn't sit still, and his expression suddenly sank: "Chen'er is serious about this?"
"It's true!"
Ye Chen said, faintly said: "The former leader of the Beggar Gang once left a secret letter and handed it to Ma Dayuan, the current deputy leader of the Beggar Gang. The letter described this in detail, and Qiao Feng’s life experience is also related to An old thing 30 years ago!"
"Go on..."
It can be said that Zhao Ji's curiosity was all mobilized by Ye Chen's words.
Fortunately, the two of them were in the imperial study room, and apart from the personal guards, there were no outsiders, otherwise they didn't know what kind of storms would be set off.
"Thirty years ago, Shaolin Abbot Xuanci received a letter from Flying Pigeons stating that a large number of Khitan warriors were coming to attack Shaolin Temple and steal the martial arts secrets in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. Xuanci learned of this. I was shocked, and invited many martial arts masters on the rivers and lakes at the time to rush to ambush outside Yanmen Pass, the way these Khitan warriors must pass..."
"When this group of martial arts were good at hand, they found that the leader was a Khitan couple. The man was very high in martial arts, but the woman was holding the baby, but she had no power to bind a chicken... In the end, this group of Khitan warriors was taken by the abbot of Xuanci When the people were wiped out, only the leading man remained. After seeing his wife's death, he left a line of Khitan writing on a stone wall outside Yanmen Pass and jumped into the cliff with the body of the baby and his wife."
"What happened later?"
A strange color flashed in his eyes, Zhao Ji said.
"Later, Xuanci and others rushed to the cliff, but a baby was thrown up from below...Finally, the baby was entrusted to Shaoshishan, and a couple surnamed Qiao for adoption."
After a pause, Ye Chen continued.
"And that baby is the current leader of the beggar gang, Qiao Feng!"
"So that's it..."
Zhao Ji nodded, but it is rare that he did not ask how Ye Chen learned about a past thirty years ago, but shook his head and said: "In my opinion, these people in the rivers and lakes were all used by others. The Khitan warrior, I am afraid that his status among the Khitan people is not low."
"Yes, this person is the head of the military chief of the Shan Da Zhang under Queen Xiao of the Liao State, Xiao Yuanshan!"
"What a wolf ambition!"
As an emperor, Zhao Ji's thinking naturally quickly connected the matter to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and a line of cold sweat oozes from his head.
Once this matter was leaked by someone who was interested, most of the Liao State used it as an excuse to go to war.
And the person behind the scenes can use the occasion of the war between the two countries to subvert the stability of the Song Dynasty from within...
This kind of attempt to shake the country's foundation.
A trace of murderous aura flashed in his eyes, and Zhao Ji also said coldly: "Chen'er, since you are going to travel around the rivers and lakes, I will ask you a task to find the main messenger behind the scenes. In addition... about Qiao Feng's life experience. , Are you sure to resolve this matter?"
The voice fell, and a system prompt sounded in Ye Chen's ears.
"Congratulations to the host, trigger the task: The mystery of Qiao Feng's life experience, please choose among the following options!"
"Option one, let the Xingzilin incident happen, and Qiao Feng's life experience will be revealed, and he will be rewarded with a copy of Sunflower Treasure."
"Option two, prevent Qiao Feng from revealing his life experience, expose the conspiracy, and reward him with a copy of "Beat the Dog and Stick"."
"Option three, prevent Qiao Feng's life experience from being revealed, expose the conspiracy, and completely solve the troubles, and reward Xiaocheng in "Dragon Fist".
"My son should do my best!"
Ye Chen got up and slightly arched his hands: "However, I also asked my father to give me the power to mobilize the imperial army."
"can!"
