I never expected that after months apart, I would only today see the Imperial Countenance again! Previously, I was in Huaibei, pursued by the Jin army, and also squeezed out by Zhang Jun and Wang Yuan. I almost thought I would never meet Your Majesty again in this life!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, this late-night imperial council, which His Majesty Zhao Jiu had convened with grief and indignation in the wilderness of Mount Bagong, began with Liu Guangshi kneeling and weeping the moment he appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Minister Liu...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the firelight, even though His Majesty Zhao Jiu had been seething with anger moments before, he now couldn't help but feel somewhat confused, wondering if Yang Yizhong had deliberately lied to favor Zhang Jun, and that he had wronged this veteran general of the Western Army, who was the same age as Han Shizhong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he glanced at the two generals following behind Liu Guangshi, who were bowing from afar at the edge of the tent—one was a commander named Fu Qing, and the other was Wang De, whose nickname 'Wang Yecha' he had long heard of—and found it hard to dismiss Yang Yizhong's report.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no other choice, Zhao Jiu, who had just put on his clothes and sat upright in a grand armchair, adjusted himself slightly before suppressing his many emotions and asking again: \"Minister Liu, setting aside the Jin army for now, you say you were squeezed out by Grand Defender Zhang and Grand Defender Wang... what happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Majesty!\" Liu Guangshi, fully armored, suddenly looked up, revealing a face covered in mud and grime, making his features hard to discern and appearing quite pitiful. \"Let Your Majesty know... yesterday, I received Your Majesty's decree at Xiacai, permitting me to divide my troops and cross the Huai River to rest. I was, of course, endlessly grateful. However, because my soldiers had suffered heavy casualties from the Jin army and were truly unfit for battle, staying in the city only caused panic among the troops, which was detrimental to defending it. So I thought to ask Grand Defender Wang (Wang Yuan, Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guard) and Grand Defender Zhang (Zhang Jun) for a favor, allowing me to lead some of the scattered troops across the river at night first, to calm the army's morale...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zhao Jiu, recalling the scene where he was so frightened he jumped into the river, couldn't help but nod. In fact, Liu Guangshi's explanation so far seemed to half-justify his secret crossing of the river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But why did the dispute arise? Why did you seize the boats? Why did you burn the ferry?\" Zhao Jiu pressed on with a furrowed brow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Reporting to Your Majesty!\" Liu Guangshi immediately looked up and pointed at Wang Yuan, the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guard, who was also kneeling with his head bowed. \"The dispute arose solely because Wang Yuan refused to let me lead my troops across at night!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why did you refuse to let him cross at night?\" Zhao Jiu continued to frown, asking like a repeating machine, this time directed at Wang Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Reporting to Your Majesty!\" Wang Yuan now looked up, his face covered in soot and dried mud, even more disheveled than Liu Guangshi's, but his words were filled with suppressed grief and indignation. \"I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let Your Majesty know!\" At this moment, Liu Guangshi suddenly interrupted, still pointing at Wang Yuan and weeping. \"Grand Defender Wang has selfish motives! He had promised many nobles of the temporary court to secretly transport their goods at night, so he was unwilling to transport my troops! My subordinates were outraged and argued with Grand Defender Wang's men, which led to the disaster!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Jiu grew even more puzzled and continued to ask: \"How many nobles are there in this temporary court? What goods could there be that require troop transport ships? Even if there were, they should have crossed the Huai at Yingkou earlier. How could they still be in Huaibei now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was given by Zhang Jun,\" Liu Guangshi quickly kowtowed to explain. \"Your Majesty does not know. Grand Defender Zhang had previously succeeded in suppressing bandits in Jingdong and Huaidong... The rebel bandits caused chaos, and the prefectural treasuries and people's properties were all seized by them. Grand Defender Zhang then calmly took them. So he had hidden countless goods in Xiacai City. He had long wanted to use them to bribe the nobles of the temporary court to secure his future. But since Your Majesty arrived only a few days ago and was about to leave, he had no time to do so. So he asked Grand Defender Wang to act as an intermediary, secretly shipping countless goods across the Huai at night, to be handed over to his former subordinate Yang Yizhong for distribution... As for my inability to restrain my subordinates, who later coveted the goods and seized the boats and burned the ferry, that is indeed my fault!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Jiu remained expressionless. He first turned to look at Yang Yizhong, who had fallen to his knees with a thud, then glanced at Wang De and Fu Qing, who stood silently at the edge of the tent, and finally looked at Wang Yuan:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Minister Wang, what do you have to say? Did you transport goods for Zhang Boying?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I... I truly know nothing about this!\" Wang Yuan stammered for a long time before giving an astonishing answer. \"At the time of the chaos, I was transporting troops in the river. Perhaps it was the patrol inspector Huangfu Zuo, whom I left behind at the inner ferry in Xiacai, who did it on his own? As for after the chaos broke out, I was truly incompetent, unable to control the fleet or extinguish the fire at the ferry, and could only flee back in disgrace... Today's fault lies entirely in my incompetence!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Jiu tilted his head and thought for a moment before understanding Wang Yuan's meaning—Liu Guangshi had shifted all responsibility onto Zhang Jun, who could not cross the river to defend himself, and onto the present Grand Defender Wang. And Grand Defender Wang, for some reason, neither dared to deny it nor dared to take responsibility, so he pushed the blame onto a subordinate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And without asking, Zhao Jiu could guess that this Huangfu Zuo was probably still stranded in Huaibei and wouldn't be able to cross over anytime soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, His Majesty Zhao Jiu let out a cold laugh, then swept his gaze over Lu Haowen, Zhang Jun, and others who had hurriedly arrived, before fixing his eyes on another person: \"Minister Wang, you are the Privy Councilor. Now that the three Grand Defenders, Liu, Zhang, and Wang, are accusing each other, only you can judge them. Tell me, what really happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Boyan stepped forward to the center of the tent. He maintained the dignity of a scholar-official and a chief minister, neither kneeling nor weeping, but that was all. He opened his mouth to speak, but meeting Zhao Jiu's cold smile, his heart skipped a beat, and he almost immediately wanted to swallow the words he had prepared. But then he turned his head, his gaze drifting past the three kneeling generals to the tent entrance behind him, where he saw the figures of Wang De and Fu Qing, and finally dared not change his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, after a long pause, Privy Councilor Wang, utterly at a loss for words, stood there like a wooden block, silent and speechless, looking utterly ridiculous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Jiu's smile grew colder, but he said nothing more, waiting quietly, as if determined to see if the other could finally speak. However, perhaps waiting for this moment, a young eunuch in the distance took the opportunity to lead another fully armored general, who hurriedly brushed past Wang De and Fu Qing and entered the tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newcomer was Hu Yantong, a deputy commander under Han Shizhong. After the incident at Shunchang Prefecture, he had remained with his troops by Zhao Jiu's side and had been promoted to commander. Clearly, this was another arrangement by His Majesty Zhao Jiu, similar to the Chixin Company, intended to expand his own direct guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Yantong's hurried arrival immediately drew the attention of everyone in the tent. But without a word, he went straight to Zhao Jiu and bowed, presenting a document.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Majesty Zhao Jiu looked at the document's seal by the firelight, immediately became serious, and opened it right there in public, reading it while seated in his armchair. With this action, everyone in the tent shifted their attention to the document, which was clearly a message from Han Shizhong, who was far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, whether it was an illusion or not, although His Majesty finished reading in just a moment and maintained that faint smile throughout, Zhang Jun, the Censor-in-Chief, who was standing quite close, vaguely noticed that the Emperor's hands were trembling slightly as he read the letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be from the cold?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something was about to happen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, when Zhao Jiu put down the document and let out several long breaths of white air, this was the instinctive reaction of many people present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let it end here!\" Zhao Jiu, holding the document, suddenly squinted and smiled at Wang Boyan. \"I understand Privy Councilor Wang's meaning. You have worked hard!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Your Majesty!\" Wang Boyan, though not kneeling, was still in tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I also understand Grand Defender Wang's meaning,\" Zhao Jiu then turned to look at Wang Yuan, who was lying pitifully on the ground. \"But for you to protect Grand Defender Liu like this, even willing to shift the blame onto your own subordinate... besides some sense of public duty, could there be some unspeakable difficulty?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Wang Yuan could speak, Liu Guangshi and the others present felt a jolt in their hearts, because His Majesty Zhao Jiu's words clearly placed the blame on Grand Defender Liu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I...\" Liu Guangshi opened his mouth to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've been thinking,\" Zhao Jiu raised his hand to stop Liu Guangshi's defense, then said as if talking to himself, lost in thought. \"Han Shizhong once told me that when he campaigned against Fang La, he was under your command, Grand Defender Wang. And at that time, you, Grand Defender Wang, were under the command of Grand Defender Liu's father. In other words, both you and Han Shizhong were once subordinates of Liu Yanqing! And Liu Yanqing and our Grand Defender Liu here, father and son, have always been known as a military family, skilled in nurturing their soldiers... You see yourself as a retainer of the Liu family, unwilling to identify the son of your benefactor, and willing to bear the blame for him, isn't that right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Wang Yuan could speak, Liu Guangshi on the other side was already kowtowing repeatedly: \"Your Majesty! I never intended to collude with the great generals of the army! I was only...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grand Defender Liu, what great authority you have!\" Zhao Jiu suddenly sneered, gripping the document. \"Do you not even allow me to finish speaking in my own temporary court?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Guangshi's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly bowed his head and fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won't say much about your selfish motives tonight. As for your public-minded motives, it's nothing more than thinking that Grand Defender Liu has made the superior move, that the die is cast. Now, Grand Defender Zhang and his troops are trapped in Huaibei, while Grand Defender Liu and his elite forces fill the temporary court.\" At this point, Zhao Jiu couldn't help but sneer again. \"So, for the sake of the bigger picture, it's better to abandon Grand Defender Zhang and follow Grand Defender Liu. Or perhaps you're simply afraid that if you don't serve him well, Grand Defender Liu will reenact the Chenqiao Mutiny, and you'll all become remnants of the Chai family...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am truly terrified!\" Liu Guangshi, unable to bear it any longer, kowtowed repeatedly. \"Your Majesty says they have received favors from my father and me, but my father and I have received the Emperor's favor for generations! This time, I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you dare interrupt me again, I'll take it as you wanting this shabby throne!\" Zhao Jiu spoke almost simultaneously with Liu Guangshi. \"If you want to speak, first draw your blade and drive me off it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Grand Defender Liu was completely silenced, prostrate on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Privy Councilor Wang said nothing, Grand Defender Wang swallowed his shame, my guards secretly tugged at my clothes, telling me not to lose my temper now, Minister Lu and Censor-in-Chief Zhang kept giving me looks, urging me to slow down... I understand everyone's public-minded motives. Isn't it just the fear that if you push Grand Defender Liu too hard and he rebels, today's Mount Bagong will become the place where the Great Song perishes?\" Zhao Jiu finally finished his speech. \"This thought, everyone in this tent knows it clearly in their hearts, so why all the concealment?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his words fell, another sound of armor clinking came from the edge of the tent in the distance, making everyone tense to the extreme. In the strange silence, the wind and firelight intertwined. Almost everyone wanted to speak, but no one had the courage to open their mouths. Even Liu Guangshi looked up in panic several times but dared not speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Minister Wang! Was that you just now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Zhao Jiu, whose heart stirred slightly, who broke the silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was not me!\" Wang Yuan replied in disgrace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wasn't calling you,\" Zhao Jiu suddenly raised his voice. \"Wang De, Wang Yecha, standing at the edge of the tent! Can you hear me? I'm calling you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang De, whose full beard made him look truly like a Yecha, was stunned for a moment but quickly stepped forward to the campfire, preparing to bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come closer!\" Zhao Jiu waved his hand. \"No need for formalities. I have something to ask you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang De grew even more bewildered but obediently walked around the two Grand Defenders on the ground, came to Zhao Jiu's side, and bowed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you recognize me?\" Zhao Jiu turned to Wang De from his seat and pointed at his own nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do!\" Wang De answered blankly. \"I have seen Your Majesty in Hebei and Nanjing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's not what I mean...\" Zhao Jiu let out a relieved laugh. \"I'm asking you, who am I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang De grew even more confused: \"Your Majesty is naturally Your Majesty!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is greater, Your Majesty or a Grand Defender?\" Amidst the heavy breathing of Yang Yizhong behind him and Lu Haowen and Zhang Jun beside him, Zhao Jiu continued to ask with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, Your Majesty is greater!\" Wang De answered without hesitation, but couldn't help adding, \"However, Your Majesty, Grand Defender Liu truly has no intention of rebelling. He's just a bit timid and prone to causing trouble...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Jiu nodded, seemingly unconcerned: \"As long as Minister Wang knows that I outrank the Grand Commandant... Let me ask you one more thing, Minister Wang. When you were previously stationed in Xuzhou, did you encounter the Jin Army before or after your retreat? And roughly how many troops were in the main Jin force behind you? Was it a hundred thousand, or just twenty or thirty thousand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the end of his words, Zhao Jiu was almost gnashing his teeth, while the several civil and military officials still standing nearby were all dumbfounded. Even Yang Yizhong and Wang Yuan, who were kneeling, looked up in shock. Before Wang De could reply, Liu Guangshi, who was on the ground, suddenly began kowtowing repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Zhao Jiu sneered inwardly but simply raised his hand to signal: \"Minister Wang need not answer. Go and invite Commander Fu here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire tent fell into a breathless silence. Wang De, dazed, left that grand armchair that served as the imperial seat and hurried over to the tent flap, where he grabbed Fu Qing, who was also in full armor, and dragged him over... Fu Qing was nothing like a coarse fellow like Wang De. Or rather, it was likely that only Wang De in this tent was a muddle-headed fool; otherwise, he wouldn't have been startled by the Emperor's blatant words earlier and clanked his armor scales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that said, this Commander Fu, being dragged by this fool, actually saved himself a lot of mental effort. He simply went along with the flow and followed the other man to kneel before the Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Minister Fu, you are a recent defector. What you seek is nothing more than fame, fortune, and rank... am I right?\" Facing Fu Qing, Zhao Jiu switched to a different line of talk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your subject...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You need not answer either, just listen!\" Zhao Jiu declared bluntly from the armchair. \"They all say that Grand Commandant Liu and his son are skilled at winning over their troops. To be fair, I cannot match that. But even in my dire straits, I can still restrain Grand Commandant Liu, which shows that my capital is still thicker than his Liu family's... Minister Fu, since you are doing business, why not sell yourself to me instead of to the Liu family? What he can give you, I can give you too. What he cannot give you, I can still give you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your subject begs to speak, even at the cost of death!\" Liu Guangshi could no longer hold back and suddenly cried out loudly. \"Your Majesty! Your subject truly has no treacherous intentions!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know you don't!\" Zhao Jiu replied from a distance. \"Otherwise, you would have spoken up to stop me when I summoned Wang De.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Guangshi instantly felt half his strength drain away. He prostrated himself on the ground and said, \"As long as Your Majesty knows this of me, that is enough! Even if you strip me of my military command now, I will have no complaints!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Trouble the two of you, Ministers, to help me seize Grand Commandant Liu's hands.\" Zhao Jiu paid him no heed but turned instead to look at Fu Qing and Wang De.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang De was stunned for a moment, clearly hesitating, while Fu Qing swiftly darted forward. Before Liu Guangshi could rise, Fu Qing braced his leg against the man's back from behind and easily pinned his hands behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Guangshi, subdued, could only shout with all his might: \"Your Majesty! Your subject is absolutely not plotting rebellion! I beg Your Majesty to spare me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, it was Wang De's turn to panic for a moment. But after that moment, under the Emperor's unyielding gaze, this fierce general, nicknamed Wang Yecha, hesitantly stepped forward and took one of Liu Guangshi's already limp hands from Fu Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Zhao Jiu finally rose. He turned his head and looked around, then actually took a gleaming steel blade from the still-kneeling Yang Yizhong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Guangshi grew even more terrified, tears and snot streaming down his face as he began to babble: \"Your Majesty! Let me inform Your Majesty! My actions this time, though gravely wrong, were based on my interpretation of Your Majesty's intentions! I have always known that Your Majesty wished to go to Jiangnan. When I saw Your Majesty's decree allowing a retreat, I thought it was a hint from you. That's why I fabricated the hundred thousand Jin troops...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I believe you, Minister Liu.\" Zhao Jiu walked over with the blade in hand, not stopping at all. \"It's just that I changed my mind long ago. I don't want to go to Jiangnan anymore!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your subject truly did not know that you, Zhang Jun, and Han Shizhong intended to fight for real. I also truly had no intention of rebelling...\" Liu Guangshi continued to argue, but then suddenly saw the reflection of a blade above his head and could no longer make a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Majesty!\" At the critical moment, Lu Haowen exchanged a glance with Zhang Jun and helplessly stepped forward together. Minister Lu spoke first, hurriedly. \"Since things have come to this, why not just strip him of his command and deal with him calmly? How can it be right for the Emperor himself to take a blade and kill a Grand Commandant? Where is the law of the state?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Majesty.\" Zhang Jun also bowed his head cautiously and advised. \"I also believe Liu Guangshi deserves death. But the situation is perilous now, and the danger of the state's destruction is no empty talk. Your Majesty should prioritize the greater picture and not lightly damage the morale of men.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Jiu had no time to bother with these people. He had been holding the blade and maneuvering behind Liu Guangshi, who was in full armor, for a long time, unsure how to strike. Helpless, the Emperor could only turn his head and ask the all-knowing Attendant Yang: \"Zhengfu, how should I strike at a time like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Yizhong had long been stunned. Suddenly asked, he blurted out: \"Has Your Majesty ever seen a chicken being killed? You could do it the same way...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he said this, Yang Yizhong regretted it. First, he really shouldn't be getting involved in this kind of thing. Second, he instantly realized—when had the Emperor ever seen a chicken being killed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But upon hearing this, the Emperor Zhao no longer hesitated. He bent down, grabbed the helmet plume of the already terrified and discomposed Liu Guangshi with his left hand, and with his right hand, smoothly took the blade and made a vigorous cut across the man's exposed Adam's apple... His movements were so practiced, as if he really had killed a chicken before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that one cut, there was no other sound in the tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang De and Fu Qing let go, exchanged a glance, and stood by in silence. Only Liu Guangshi, clutching his throat, made a few gurgling sounds as he flopped about on the ground, truly like a chicken with its throat slit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor Zhao looked at the blood-stained blade in his hand for a while. When the man on the ground had no more movement, and he felt completely at ease, he finally discarded the steel blade, turned his head, and loudly answered his Chancellor and Censor-in-Chief:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I would rather the state perish than not kill this man with my own hands!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PS: This big chapter is an early wish for everyone a Happy New Year. A bit awkward, I confused Fu Xuan and Fu Qing. It's been corrected. The one appearing here is Fu Qing. Historically, both were subordinates of Yue Fei, but there is clear evidence that Fu Qing served under Liu Guangshi earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>",3812,"2026-06-06T07:45:46.639Z",1,"Novelzhen Translator","84aa71cf529477dfb2a448b84126e634d67aa499846c782315ef28cc83d06218","shao-song-chapter-31","shao-song-chapter-29",489,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshao-song-cover.jpg"]
