Chapter 387 Arrest
Zhao Xing even had a ridiculous idea.
The frequency of rebellions in the Song Dynasty has been so high in recent years. Is it really because the people can no longer survive?
Those dynasties in history usually experienced frequent rebellions in the middle and later stages.
But the people of the Song Dynasty seemed to be very stubborn, and they would rebel at the slightest disagreement.
Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, except during the reign of Emperor Taizu, there has been a rebellion every few years.
Some people say that the Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprising set a new beginning for the people of the world.
Let the common people know that they can rise up and resist when faced with oppression.
Zhao Xing felt that this statement was incorrect. Peasant uprisings can be said to be an inevitable response to being oppressed to the extreme.
Ordinary people cannot read Chinese characters. How can they know about Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, or about princes and generals like Xiang Ning?
They only know that doing the opposite will lead to death, so they choose to do the opposite!
But looking at it from the other side, with all the rebellions in the Song Dynasty over the years, were the people really oppressed to the point where they would die if they didn't rebel?
I’m afraid that’s not the case?
If this is true, it means that the contradiction between classes and people has reached its peak.
But every rebellion was easily put down.
It would make sense to say that most of these rebellions were deliberately led by someone.
Assuming that someone has been secretly leading the rebellion, then the people behind the scenes must understand that the Song Dynasty is in crisis, and such methods cannot shake the Song Dynasty's notice.
The people behind the scenes continue to stir up rebellions, just to consume people's hearts and minds.
Although these are just Zhao Xing's guesses, he always feels that this possibility is very high.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xing said in a deep voice: "We can't wait any longer, take action immediately and arrest all the wizards and teachers found so far! In addition, send a message to Jiangzhou to escort Gu Tingwei back to Bianjing! ”
"Your Majesty, where is Hu Shangshu..."
"Arrest!"
Zhao Xing said lightly: "Everyone who has anything to do with him will be arrested. I will order people to arrest him from the front of the palace. Si Tiao Two thousand forbidden troops will be given to you. The five-city military division and the city defense camp will cooperate with you. Make sure no one is exposed, otherwise you will not come to see me!"
"I obey the order!" Yin Hanzhang hurriedly said. Responded.
…………
After Yin Hanzhang left the palace, he went directly to the headquarters of the Imperial City Division under the Fan Tower.
After Zhao Xing ascended the throne, he also assigned the Imperial City Division to Yin Hanzhang for management.
Although the Imperial City Division was restricted by hundreds of officials and was reduced to an agency responsible only for Bianjing intelligence.
But the Imperial City Division has been rooted in Bianjing for so many years, and still has some control over Bianjing.
Taking over the Imperial City Division also allowed Yin Hanzhang to better control the troubles in Bianjing City.
Yin Hanzhang summoned his leaders and made a detailed arrest plan. Then, holding Zhao Xing's transfer order, he went to the front division of the palace to mobilize four battalions with a total of 2,000 troops.
He dispersed three battalions of soldiers and horses to cooperate with the arrests, and he personally led a battalion of soldiers and horses to Hu Mansion.
When they arrived at the Hu Mansion, Yin Hanzhang ordered the Hu family to be surrounded before letting anyone go to call the door.
In fact, when Yin Hanzhang led people to surround the Hu Mansion, the Hu family's concierge noticed it and reported it to Hu Zhongyan in a panic.
Hu Zhongyan felt a little older when he learned that the mansion was surrounded by the Forbidden Army, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief.
When Yin Hanzhang saw that there was no response when the soldiers called for the door, he was about to let someone knock on the door when the door of Hu's house opened.
A concierge came out nervously, bowed and said: "My master is waiting for the general in the study!"
Yin Hanzhang waved his hand after hearing this, and the imperial guards behind him rushed quickly from both sides of the concierge. Entered Hu Mansion.
"Lead the way!" Yin Hanzhang said when he came to the concierge.
"Please come this way, General!"
The concierge led the way and led Yin Hanzhang all the way to the study. In the study, Hu Zhongyan was sitting on a chair with a dejected look. When he saw Yin Hanzhang walking in, he said, "I want to see your Majesty!"
Yin Hanzhang was silent for a while after hearing this, and said: " I need to report to Your Majesty. It is up to Your Majesty to decide whether to see you or not."
Hu Zhong. Yan Wenyan nodded, stood up, straightened his crown, and said, "Let's go!"
At this time, the entire Hu family was in chaos. Although Hu Zhongyan had accepted the reality, he tried his best to act like a He looked calm, but when he came out of the study and heard the faint cry, he still closed his eyes in pain.
Yin Hanzhang did not urge him, but looked at Hu Zhongyan with interest.
After a while, Hu Zhongyan opened his eyes. Seeing the sarcasm and playfulness in Yin Hanzhang's eyes, he felt angry.
With his status, no one has looked at him like this for many years.
Just thinking about his current situation, Hu Zhongyan sighed quietly.
"If Mr. Hu is done remembering us, let's go!" Yin Hanzhang urged.
After hearing this, Hu Zhongyan raised his feet and continued walking forward.
When Hu Zhongyan was taken out of the yard, Ruyu was also tied up by several soldiers and escorted over.
"What's going on?"
Yin Hanzhang frowned slightly when he saw that several of the soldiers guarding Ruyu were injured.
"Sir, this woman is good at martial arts. The brothers were careless just now, and several of them were injured by her." The captain who led the team bowed.
"Huh?"
Yin Hanzhang looked at Ruyu in surprise and smiled: "It seems that your identity is not that simple."
The Imperial Guards of the Dianqian Division were the most powerful in the Song Dynasty. Elite soldiers, after Zhao Xing succeeded to the throne, he attached great importance to the training of the imperial guards in front of the palace.
This time, Hu Zhongyan and Ruyu were the top priority in arresting people. He originally thought that Ruyu was just a messenger and a woman, so he didn’t pay too much attention to arresting Ruyu. Yu's matter was left to others and he was personally responsible for arresting Hu Zhongyan.
But even so, there were dozens of people who went to arrest Ruyu. In this case, Ruyu was able to hurt a few people, and it was not just as simple as knowing some martial arts.
"Hmph!"
Ruyu panicked when she heard this, but on the surface she was very calm. She snorted coldly and turned her head away, ignoring Yin Hanzhang.
Yin Hanzhang didn't care, and smiled slightly: "When we get to the prison, there will be many means for you to say, take it away!"
Now that Hu Zhongyan and Ruyu have been caught, the rest Just leave the matter to the people below.
Yin Hanzhang took people directly to the imperial city.
The Imperial City Division has a large prison in the Imperial City, which was built when Taizu established the Imperial City Division.
Unfortunately, it fell into disuse not long after it was used.
After Yin Hanzhang took over the Imperial City Department, he ordered people to renovate it, and now it is finally put to use.
…………
Yin Hanzhang led the imperial army to surround the residence of Hu Zhongyan, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and arrested all the Hu family. Naturally, such a big news could not be hidden from the officials of Bianjing.
For a time, officials from Hu Zhongyan's group found Han Zhang one after another.
Han Zhang could only go to see Zhao Xing and ask about the situation.
Zhao Xing learned that Han Zhang asked for an audience and directly ordered someone to invite Han Zhang in.
After Han Zhang saluted, without waiting for him to ask, he said: "The Grand Prime Minister is here because of Hu Zhongyan's incident, right?"
"Your Majesty, I am here because of this incident, right?" ! ”
Han Zhang bowed and said: "I wonder what Shangshu Hu has committed? Your Majesty actually sent the Imperial Guards from the Palace Front Division to arrest people?"
