Chapter 126: I watched the execution of a traitor and found a loyal minister on my way back(2/2)
The eunuch in charge ran to the group of imperial students to briefly understand the situation...
The eunuch who served in the chamber quickly ran back to Zhao Ji's imperial chariot, saluted and said in reply: "As the official family is about to begin, the person who kneeled down in front of the Xihua Gate to stop the charioteer was more than thirty imperial students led by Chen Dong, the Imperial College student.
He said he wanted to meet the Holy Spirit..."
After hearing this, Zhao Ji felt suspicious.
In his mind, he was frantically recalling the name Sun Dong, which sounded somewhat impressive...
I remembered.
In history, the name of the "Six Thieves" in the Northern Song Dynasty originated from a letter written by Chen Dong, a student of the Imperial College, in the seventh year of Xuanhe (AD 1125). Chen Dong said: "What happened today was caused by Cai Jing's mischief and Liang Shicheng's conspiracy.
Later, Li Yan made grudges against the northwest, Zhu Meng made grudges against the southeast, Wang Fu and Tong Guan also made grudges against the Liao and Jin Dynasties, and initiated border provocations. It is appropriate to kill the six thieves and spread them to all directions to thank the world."
Historically, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty did not dare to resolutely resist the Jin Dynasty. He did not accept Li Gang's proposal to restore the Central Plains, go straight to Huanglong, and welcome back the Two Saints. He secretly planned to flee to the southeast with Huang Qianshan, Wang Boyan and other villains. Later, he served as prime minister for only seven years.
Li Gang was dismissed as prime minister after seventeen days.
When Chen Dong saw that Song Gaozong had dismissed Li Gang, he wrote a letter requesting that Li Gang be retained and that Huang Qianshan, Wang Boyan and other treacherous officials be dismissed;
At that time, Ouyang Che, a civilian who was good at talking about national affairs (and very insightful), wrote a letter: He suggested reforming the government, resisting the Jin army, and reprimanding Huang Qianshan and others. Huang Qianshan used words to anger Emperor Gaozong, saying that if
If Chen Dong and others are not killed quickly, people will be encouraged to submit a letter to the palace again. Song Gaozong decided to kill Chen Dong and others for his own selfish interests, so he conspired with Huang Qianshan to get rid of Chen Dong and others.

On August 25, the first year of Jianyan (AD 1127), Chen Dong and Ouyang Che were killed together in the market.
……………
Today, Zhao Ji travels back to the Northern Song Dynasty. It is October of the second year of Xuanhe, and Zhendong has not yet proposed the theory of "six thieves".
Zhao Ji knew that Zhendong was a high-ranking student who fought against the Jin army, and he was an upright person.
Zhao Ji didn't count how talented Chen Dong was.
However, Chen Dong's moral character is very high.
Just like at the West Water Execution Ground, when Zhao Ji asked his princes, King Zhao Kai and King Kang Zhao Gou, he was very satisfied with the answer of King Kang Zhao Gou. It was because Zhao Gou, at a young age, knew "Cai Jing, Gao Qiu, Wang Fu,
The truth is that his virtue is not suitable, so he has this disaster.
In other words, hiring people should not only use their talents, but also pay attention to the virtues of the people they want to employ.
If the person he uses has bad morals, it is easy for him to backlash. For example, Dong Zhuo knew that Lu Bu was a strong martial artist and was good at leading troops in battle, so he accepted Lu Bu as his adopted son. This was regarded as a high-ranking use of Lu Bu. But what was the result?
Thinking of this, Zhao Ji really wanted to meet Chen Dong, who was very virtuous and well-known.
He declared: "Summon Chen Dong to see me."
"Uh?! I obey the order, little slave." The eunuchs in the chamber were a little confused. Although the imperial students were talents from the highest academic institution in the Song Dynasty, how could the Zhao Guan family summon the little imperial students so easily in the past?
The eunuch in the chamber knelt down at the Xihua Gate again, and declared to the group of imperial students who were kneeling to block the way:
"The official's oral instructions were passed down, and Chen Dong, a student of the Imperial College, was summoned to be a saint."
Chen Dong never thought that he would lead more than 30 Taixue students to kneel down and block Zhao Guan's carriage at the risk of getting slapped or being expelled from Imperial College. He really didn't expect that he would be summoned by Zhao Guan's family as he wished...
…
Then, I, Chen Dong, will definitely tell the Zhao family about the important military and state affairs...
The other imperial students who came to Xihua Gate with Sun Dong all cast envious glances at Chen Dong.
…………
Chen Dong followed the eunuch in charge and arrived in front of Zhao Guan's family.
Chen Dong knelt in front of Zhao Ji's imperial chariot, kowtowed and said, "Chen Sheng, a student of Chen Tai, would like to congratulate the official family for killing three traitorous officials!"
When Zhao Ji heard this, he realized that Chen Dong, an upright imperial student, actually said flattering words?!
However, Chen Sheng changed the subject and said:
"The officials have now killed the three most traitorous officials in the court: Cai Jing, Gao Qiu and Wang Fu.
However,
Cai Jing caused trouble and was executed.
Liang Shicheng conspired later and has not yet been convicted.
I have a grudge against Southeast, but I still live a good life.
Student Chen Dong led more than 30 Tai students to kneel in front of Xihua Gate.
It was begging Zhao Guanjia to kill Liang Shicheng, the eunuch who violated Yang and Yin, and Zhu Meng, who was extorting money in the southeast.
It is appropriate to punish these two thieves and spread the news in all directions to thank the people of the world!
Zhao Ji was stunned when he heard this. This humble thirty-year-old imperial student actually dared to speak his mind so honestly! Chen Dong, aren't you afraid of being retaliated by the powerful?
