After Song Yinzi's body recovered, Xiao Ding told him about some things that happened during this time, and the spearhead was directly pointed at the new emperor Song Yinding. Although Song Yinzi was also dissatisfied with Song Yinding after hearing this, he was still hesitant.

And, instead asked Xiao Ding for advice: "Brother Tian, do you think we should send troops to attack Zhongzhou City?" ”

Song Yinzi is still used to calling Xiao Ding his eldest brother in private, Xiao Ding has saved him many times, and he is full of gratitude to Xiao Ding in his heart.

As soon as Xiao Ding saw Song Yinzi's appearance, he immediately remembered the old emperor Song Yuanting, Song Yuanting is a person who has no opinions, and likes to ask for the opinions of the ministers of civil and military affairs on everything, and then it will cause endless debates in the court.

It seems that this Song Yinzi has also inherited his father's shortcomings to some extent, and he can't make a decision immediately when he encounters something, in fact, this is a taboo for being a monarch.

Xiao Ding thought for a moment, and then said: "Even if you decide to pull your seventh brother off the throne, we don't have to attack Zhongzhou City. Now Zhongzhou City is not a little precautionary, and the four gates are open as usual every day, obviously, your seventh brother still thinks that it is impossible for you to send troops to attack Zhongzhou. I once sent someone to investigate, there are no defenders in Zhongzhou City, only there are seven or eight thousand Imperial Forest Army in the palace, these are all troops dedicated to protecting the palace and the emperor's safety. It is estimated that your seventh brother has also understood that even if you use these seven or eight thousand royal forest troops to defend Zhongzhou City, you will not be able to stop our army of nearly 20,000. So, he's just betting that you won't attack him. ”

"Since they can't hold Zhongzhou City at all, why don't we attack it?" Song Yinzi asked suspiciously.

"Do you know that your Muwang Mansion is now in Zhongzhou City, if there is a war, your seventh brother can send someone to your Muwang Mansion first, and use several wives and concubines and young sons in your mansion, as well as everyone else in the mansion, as hostages, to blackmail you to stop the army." Xiao Ding reminded.

"Huh? So what should we do? Song Yinzi was shocked, and the look of worry was immediately revealed.

Xiao Ding secretly said in his heart, not only your Mu Wangfu, but even my General's Mansion may be occupied by Song Yinding, although there is no family of his own in the General's Mansion, but those servants are also his subordinates who bought with his own money, so you can't watch them being killed.

Seeing Song Yinzi asking worriedly, Xiao Ding replied unhurriedly: "If King Mu Chitose really wants to start a war with your seventh brother, we can let the soldiers pretend to be ordinary people and blend into the city, first protect King Mu's mansion and my general's mansion, and then assign people to directly capture the palace and capture your seventh brother, and at the same time, those ministers who support your seventh brother can not be let go either, and they will also send people to arrest and ask for guilt." ”

"And then?" Song Yinzi listened to Xiao Ding's plan, and couldn't help but feel a little moved, and couldn't help but continue to ask.

"Then we will elect you to be the emperor, and if anyone dares to come out against it, they will be killed directly. After you become the emperor, you only need to find the palace maids and eunuchs who served your father and the emperor for interrogation, and you can find out the real cause of your father's death. Xiao Ding said indifferently.

"Huh? If there is opposition, kill it, isn't this too overbearing? Song Yinzi said with wide eyes.

"Overbearing? Didn't you see what your seventh brother did after he ascended to the throne? If it weren't for the guards in those princes' mansions, it is estimated that even they would have suffered. Don't you see that Han Jun is still staying in our camp now? Because there is a nursing home in his house, there is no problem when he stays in the house, but as soon as he came out, he was chased and killed by your seventh brother's people, if he hadn't met me, he probably would have died a long time ago. Xiao Ding retorted after glancing at Song Yinzi.

After Song Yinzi heard this, he frowned and said, "Brother Tian is bad!" As the king of a country, how can he kill innocents indiscriminately? The ancients had a cloud of 'politics and virtue, such as Beichen, where they live, and all the stars are together'. There are also sages who said, 'If you are not benevolent but are in a high position, you will sow evil among the people'. As the saying goes, 'If the Son of Heaven is not benevolent, he will not protect the four seas; The princes are not benevolent, and they do not protect the society; Doctor Qing is not benevolent, and does not protect the temple; Shishu people are not benevolent, and they do not protect the four bodies'. If I become an emperor and kill innocents at will, won't I become a tyrant? ”

Xiao Ding heard Song Yinzi's big theory, and said in his heart, you are a dead nerd! Reading makes my head die. Do you know what it means to "get power out of the barrel of a gun"? In the world of the jungle, if your fists are not hard, the country will not be able to sit steadily.

So Xiao Ding persuaded: "King Mu is a thousand years old, the monarch's implementation of benevolent government also depends on the object, and different people must be treated with different means." Couldn't we generalize about everything, didn't the ancients also say, 'If you love your neighbor, you can't even benefit, and if you hate someone, you can't even harm'? Everything is too much, so many things must be treated differently. ”

After listening to Xiao Ding's words, Song Yinzi realized something, raised his eyes to look at Xiao Ding, and said: "Brother Tian is really a big talent, not only can martial arts determine the country, but also can calm the world!" It turns out that Brother Tian has also read the book of sages! ”

When Xiao Ding heard this, his heart twitched, and he said secretly, I read a bullshit sage book, and the sentence quoted earlier was just seen on the Internet before crossing over and remembered by myself.

However, he didn't say it to his face, and continued: "King Mu, this plan can ensure that you become the emperor, and you can quickly find out the cause of your father's death. If we continue like this, we will not be able to get close to the inside of the palace, and we will never find out the true cause of your father's death. So, in the end, whether to make a decision or not depends on what you mean. ”

Xiao Ding threw the pot to Song Yinzi and let him decide this matter by himself, even if he regretted it in the future and blamed himself, he would have an excuse to get rid of it. Although all these plans are suggested by myself, as a subordinate, it depends on the will of the boss whether to adopt the idea or not.

Song Yinzi thought for a while, and then said: "I'm still very weak now, let's wait for me to raise my body for a while." Then you send someone to find out the cause of my father's death, and if you can find out as much as you can, you can find out as much as you can. Alas......" he sighed.

Xiao Ding also sighed in his heart, and said in his heart that this Song Yinzi is really no different from his father!

Having said that, he hasn't finally made up his mind yet. Saying that he is not in good health is just that he wants to continue thinking about it for a few days.

Xiao Ding had no choice but to leave Song Yinzi's sleeping tent.

So for several days, nothing happened.

In addition to coming over to check Song Yinzi's physical condition every day, Xiao Ding went back to his dormitory to practice. The civet cat is also stepping up her cultivation of a few small spells that Xiao Ding taught her.

These days, in the hard work of the two of them in the double cultivation during the day and at night, the spirit cat's Tiankai eyes and Tiankai ears have been a little successful, and the light body technique has also stepped into the path, and like Xiao Ding at the beginning, only the progress of the Vajra technique is relatively slow.

Xiao Ding's side still made great progress in the Pure Heart Technique, and as he continued to cultivate, the time for the Pure Heart Technique to operate in his body for a week was significantly shortened. Stealth and wall piercing are still progressing slowly, with only a slight improvement. Previously, he had reached the point where he could pass through one layer of cloth screens, but now he could wear two layers of cloth screens in a row, and the wooden planks still couldn't pass through.

Time gradually entered October, Song Yinzi after this period of cultivation, although his body is not as good as ever, he can get out of bed and walk around, and he can take care of himself, and he no longer needs others to take care of him everywhere.

On this day, he called Xiao Ding into his tent and said, "Brother Tian, I think the plan you mentioned before is feasible, but I don't want to snatch the throne of my seventh brother, I just hope to find out the cause of my father's death as soon as possible." ”

Xiao Ding slandered in his heart and said secretly, is there a difference? You have a good face and refuse to admit that you are trying to seize the throne, and in the end, you still have to take the throne of Song Yinding?

So, Xiao Ding didn't demolish him, and immediately said: "This is also easy to do, we can first send someone to Zhongzhou City to spread rumors, just say that the old emperor's death is not clear, and King Mu Chitose will do whatever it takes to find out the truth for the death of his father." Then spread a rumor that the person who killed your father was your seventh brother Song Yinding, and said that he secretly killed your father in order to seize the throne. ”

When Song Yinzi heard this, he said, "Okay, just do what Brother Tian said!" ”

So the two of them arranged for their soldiers to go to Zhongzhou City to spread rumors.

In the next four or five days, rumors spread in Zhongzhou City, all about the new emperor Song Yin killing the old emperor in order to seize the throne. The people did not dare to discuss it openly, and they all secretly discussed this matter in the streets and alleys. Everyone also rumored that King Mu Song Yinzi came with troops and had been stationed outside Chengwai, just to wait for the new emperor Song Yinding to take the initiative to admit his mistake. Otherwise, troops would have been sent to attack Zhongzhou City a long time ago.

Xiao Ding and Song Yinzi had already gotten the news, seeing that the rumors that had spread had played a role, and the trend of public opinion had turned to Song Yinzi's side, so Song Yinzi nodded and promised Xiao Ding that the plan he proposed before could be implemented.

Xiao Ding immediately asked the Han brothers to prepare for the soldiers to collectively change their costumes and blend into the city.

Soldiers need to be commanded to infiltrate the city, otherwise it will be like a plate of loose sand, and it will be difficult to manage.

So, Xiao Ding secretly sent people to contact the young generals of the four princes, Gao, Yang, Luo, and Yue, and asked them to organize a part of their own people, so as not to let the soldiers who had mixed into the city run around, and to act in an organized and disciplined manner.

There are three purposes for the soldiers to infiltrate the city this time: first, to protect King Mu's Mansion and the General's Mansion, and not to let the Imperial Forest Army break through. Second, it was set on the night of the seventh day of the tenth lunar month, and the Han brothers led a part of the soldiers to surround the palace and attack it, and they must capture Song Yinding alive. The third is to let the young generals in the four palaces each bring a part of their men to arrest the ministers who supported Song Yin to become the emperor, especially the prime minister Zhao Shisun and Taiwei Gao Geyu, these two are the core figures and must not be let go.

Several young generals of the Four Great Palaces have lived in Zhongzhou City since they were children, and they are most familiar with which officials' mansions are, so it is the best choice for them to do this.

After receiving Xiao Ding's order, the two brothers, Han Qi and Han Qi, immediately arranged for people to go to the countryside on the outskirts of the city to buy a large number of clothes from ordinary people. There were nearly 20,000 people in the camp, and they needed a lot of clothes.

Fortunately, on the way back, when the army passed through the county towns along the way, it had collected a lot of military salaries, otherwise, this time to buy a large number of clothes, I am afraid that there would be no silver to pay.

By the time the clothes were almost purchased, it was not far from the seventh day of October.

It is impossible for an army of 20,000 to enter the city at once, so it can only enter the city in batches and at different times. Every day, from morning to night, according to different times, the city was mixed into the city from the four gates in batches.

Even so, the inns in the city were immediately full. Later, the young generals of the four royal mansions opened the doors of each family, and each family accepted hundreds to thousands of soldiers.

Even the Mu Wangfu and the general's mansion of the Xiaoding family, the two of them also wrote to the housekeepers in the mansion and asked them to accept some soldiers to live in. Especially the soldiers who went to protect the two mansions.

By the seventh day of October, the barracks outside the city had become an empty barracks, and only a small number of logistics troops remained in the camp. After all, there are still some materials stored in the barracks, and someone must guard them.

Xiao Ding also led the civet, Fan Sanpang, Sun Dasheng, and Luo Dafeng on this day, protected Song Yinzi and the Nine Princesses, and rode into the city. first sent Song Yinzi and the Ninth Princess back to King Mu's Mansion, and then took the civet cat and Fan Sanfat back to the General's Mansion.

Han Qi and Han Qi lived in the general's mansion of Xiao Ding's family at this time.

The two had already contacted the troops of all parties and agreed that they would take their places and act together at the end of the night.

Xiao Ding was very satisfied with the arrangement of the Han brothers, and felt that these two brothers were careful and good at using their brains, and they could be of great use. Unlike other generals, they know that they are brave enough to kill, but their wit is slightly poor.

In the evening, Xiao Ding arranged for Fan Sanpang and Sun Dasheng to stay in his house to watch the house, and let the civet and Luo Dafeng go to King Mu's mansion to protect the safety of the ninth princess. Then he and the Han family brothers took Song Yinzi to lead the troops towards the palace together.

At this time, Song Yinding in the palace didn't know that the Chengwai army had mixed into the city. He was sitting at the table at this time, enjoying the singing and dancing of several beautiful women, hugging him left and right, and waiting for him were seven or eight concubines of Xinna after he ascended the throne.

At the head of the table sat Wan Qixing, the master of the Spirit Castle, Dugu Remnant, the master of the Ten Thousand Poison Gate, and the valley lord of the Earth Evil Valley, and Youyangzi, the senior brother of the Netherchild. It turned out that at some point, Youyingzi and Youyangzi also rushed to Zhongzhou City and came to Song Yinding's side.

Naturally, they were all sent by Song Yuanyan, the king of Jiaozhou. Song Yin will definitely be able to become the emperor, and naturally Song Yuanyan sent people to help him plan and implement.

Song Yuanyan originally saw that he had no hope of becoming the emperor, so he wanted to support Song Yinding to be a puppet emperor, but he did not expect that he was driven out of the Great Song Kingdom by Xiao Ding's troops, and he fled to the Great Tubo Kingdom with his family and several civilian and military generals.

Originally, the king of the Great Tubo Kingdom did not treat the king of Jiaozhou very much, but later it was because the emperor of the Great Song Kingdom, Song Yuanting, rebelled, and did not send the ninth princess Song Yinping to the Great Tubo Kingdom as the crown princess, so he had some resentment, and just happened to take refuge with the king of Jiaozhou, and brought a lot of gold and silver materials to come together, and the remaining remnants of the defeated generals also had thousands of people, these were sent to the door in vain, don't do it in vain. What's more, in addition to Song Yuanyan's two sons, Song Yinbei and Song Yinpan, he also has a daughter who is now an adult, just seventeen years old, and she is also as beautiful as a flower.

So the king of the Great Tubo Kingdom directly asked Song Yuanyan, the king of Jiaozhou, to marry his daughter to his princes.

The king of Jiaozhou sent people under the fence, and he also knew that the country of Da Tubo had the custom of family brothers marrying common wives, although he was unwilling in his heart, he did not dare to disobey, so he had to nod his head in agreement. So his daughter became a victim of the king of Jiaozhou to save his life, married more than a dozen princes of the Great Tubo Kingdom, and became the co-wife of those dozen princes.

Because of the marriage, Song Yuanyan's status in the Great Tubo Kingdom was immediately much higher, and he was not always looked down upon by the civil and military generals in the court as he was when he first came.

At this time, Song Yuanyan still did not forget that in the country of the Great Song Kingdom, there was a puppet emperor who he had raised, so he contacted several people from the Jianghu sect who had colluded with him before, and asked them to go to the palace of the Great Song Kingdom to help Song Yinding.

Since Song Yinding became the emperor, he has eaten, drunk and had fun every day, and he feels more comfortable than the days of the gods. At this time, he was holding a wine glass and persuading a few other people to drink.

Suddenly, a guard outside the palace came in in a panic to report: "Your Majesty the Emperor, there are a large number of troops outside the palace who have come to besiege the palace, and the commander of the Imperial Forest Army is organizing the Imperial Forest Army to block it, and he asked me to come and report to the Emperor that he has learned of this." ”

Song Yinding was shocked when he heard this.
