At the beginning of the rising sun, on the road outside Hejiazhuang, a team of people and horses came slowly, the first one was the servant Shi Ma Shen, he looked at the military camps on the avenue on both sides of Zhuangzi, couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and asked Kuang behind him: "The warriors are chaotic in the country, sure enough, father-in-law look, how peaceful this Hejiazhuang was, but now what has become it." ”

Kuang Xun nodded and said, "What my lord has seen is that these martial artists really have to be well controlled. ”

While the two of them were talking, they arrived in front of the village, and a patrol had already stopped them, and one of them said, "Who is the person who came?" But say face to face! ”

Ma stretched out his fist and raised it into the air, and said: "I am an angel, I was ordered to deliver the decree to the King of Wei, so I will go and pass it on quickly, and ask the King of Wei and the King of Xin to come together to receive the decree." ”

The leader of the patrol did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly let people pass in, about half an hour's work, Zhao Wenlie, Yu Lian and the two respectfully greeted out, and after arriving outside the door, they saluted the horse, and then Zhao Wenlie said: "But please invite the angel into the village, and the father and the king are in the village, waiting for the holy decree." ”

Although Ma Shen and Kuang Xun both knew that Uncle Zhao deliberately raised his head and did not come to the door to greet him, they couldn't say anything, but Fan Xi, the leader of the guards and the Marquis of the Four Compartment Imperial Forest Army, shouted: "It's such a big faction, even when the holy decree arrives, he refuses to come out to greet him." ”

When Zhao Wenlie heard this, he glanced at Fan Xi, but recognized him as Fan Qiong's younger brother, and couldn't help but stab coldly: "Who is my Dao, who dares to point fingers at the people of our Zhao family, it turns out to be people from the Fan family." On that day, Fan Qiong entered the palace with a sword and forced the royal family to enter the city and go to Jinying, originally they all thought that the Great Song Dynasty was dead, but they didn't expect that there would be a time to return to power, Fan Xi listened to Zhao Wenlie's words, and couldn't help but snort coldly, but didn't speak.

The group followed Zhao Wenlie into the village without mentioning it, and here Uncle Zhao asked people to invite Zhao Zhen over, and said: "Imperial nephew, the holy decree is coming from Tokyo, just let you and me take the decree, I am afraid that you will not have a royal uniform, so I specially prepared my preparation for you, and I am in the army, so I will wear a military uniform." ”

Zhao Zhen didn't care about Uncle Zhao's words about wearing a military uniform, but said with some puzzlement: "Where is the holy decree coming at this time?" ”

Uncle Zhao smiled and said: "The imperial nephew doesn't know yet, now that your ninth brother King Kang has entered Tokyo, Zhang Bangchang invited Empress Meng to preside over the overall situation before this, and now your ninth brother has entered the great treasure with the support of Empress Meng and the ministers, and this holy decree came from him." ”

Zhao Zhen and Ma Kuo were talking in Wenda's house, and when they heard the invitation, the three of them came over together, which would listen to Zhao Shuxiang's words, Zhao Zhen and Ma Kuo showed anger at the same time, although Wenda didn't know why, but when he saw their appearance, he also said: "This hasn't ascended the throne yet, how can you rush to make an order first." ”

Uncle Zhao said: "Things are urgent, and if there is urgency, it is a last resort, but first listen to what is written in his will, and then talk about it." ”

Zhao Zhen said in his heart: "I don't have an edict now, the ministers, plus the respected Empress Dowager Meng, have all been given, no matter how much I oppose it, there is no reason, but I don't say anything first, just follow what my uncle said, listen to it." So he nodded and said, "It's all up to my uncle." ”

Uncle Zhao said: "Then the emperor's nephew will change into the king's clothes first, and it will be good to see the angel." ”

Zhao Zhen didn't think about it so much, so he put on the royal clothes, and just after the whole outfit, Zhao Wenlie led Ma Shen, Kuang Xun, and Fan Xi in, Zhao Zhen from a distance saw Fan Xi, his eyes were green, and his fists clenched at once, Ma Kuo and Wenda saw Zhao Zhen's changes at the same time, and couldn't help but say together: "King!" ”

Zhao Zhen waved his hand slightly and said, "It's okay!" "On that day, they were escorted out of the palace by Fan Qiong, and Fan Xi was forced to the palace with Fan Qiong, and he laughed at Gong E in front of Zhao Zhen and them, and the father and son of the Zhao family dared to be angry at that time, so they could only watch like that.

Ma Shen walked to the door, took a look inside, and saw Zhao Zhen dressed in a royal suit, and Zhao Shuxiang was in armor, and couldn't help frowning slightly, since Zhou Yafu, the armor is on the body, you can not worship, this is an unwritten rule, Uncle Zhao Xiang deliberately did not worship, but he let Zhao Zhen wear his royal clothes, obviously like the Son of Heaven is obedient, Ma Shenren is extremely smart, and he can see the reason here at a glance, but he is not optimistic about Zhao Shuxiang's villain method.

"I have seen the King of Wei below, the King of Xin, please forgive the responsibility of the angels, I can't salute!"

After Ma Shen finished saluting, he said: "Please also ask the two kings to drive a thousand years old, set up incense tables, change the king's clothes together, and receive the holy decree." ”

"Hehe, the old man is in a hurry, and he only has a royal dress by his side, which he temporarily lends to my imperial nephew ......."

Before Uncle Zhao finished speaking, Zhao Zhen suddenly said: "Teacher, but I want to ask, the Son of Heaven has not been decided, where is the holy decree?" ”

Ma Shen got a hint from Wang Boyan before, saying that Zhao Zhen had the heart to fight for the emperor, and he didn't care about it at first, but now after listening to Zhao Zhen's words, he couldn't help frowning, and said in his heart: "I didn't expect him to really have such an idea, and he couldn't help but be secretly angry in his heart, so he said: "Reply to the king, the ministers of the princes are collegiate, and the Empress Dowager Meng has set up nine kings as the new emperor, how can you say that the Son of Heaven is undecided?" ”

"Huh." Zhao Zhen sneered and said, "I don't know where the ministers came from?" It's me the princes of the Great Song Dynasty, or the ministers of Emperor Chu! Empress Dowager Meng ....... He was just about to say more, but Ma Kuo glanced at him from behind, the Great Song Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, even if the Empress Dowager Meng was deposed, but she was also Zhao Zhen's elder, and it was impossible to say that it hurt the elders.

However, Zhao Zhen's words are hurtful enough, Ma Shen has also been a puppet minister under Zhang Bangchang, and the current name of the imperial history is still rewarded by Zhang Bangchang, and Zhang Bangchang can cry to Zhao Gou that he had to submit to protect the tomb of Emperor Zhao and Song Dynasty, but Ma Shen couldn't say such shameless words, so his face was red with anger, panting, but he couldn't say a word.

After Zhao Zhen finished scolding, he knew that he had injured Ma Shen, so he took a step forward, bowed down and said, "Teacher, the disciple does not choose what to say, and the teacher will punish him." ”

Ma Kuo took a deep breath and said: "King Xin doesn't have to be like this, the minister just served the emperor's order and taught King Xin for a few days, and he can't be called a teacher, and even if King Xin forgets me as a teacher, there is nothing, as long as he still remembers the word 'monarch'." ”

Zhao Zhen listened to Ma Shen's words too much, and he didn't know how to take it again, so he couldn't help but turn his grievances into tears, and he poured up, but when he reached his eyes, he forced himself down, and then said: "What the teacher taught, the words of the sage, Zhao Zhen didn't dare to forget each other for a day, if it wasn't for the monarch's father's heart, he wouldn't have said what he just said." ”

"You're ......!" Ma Shen was angry and angry, but he didn't know what to say, Kuang Xun knew that it was a good thing here, but he was afraid that he would say it here, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "Master Ma, King Xin is just asking, the Nine Kings are his elder brothers, this is nothing, don't be angry anymore, but let's read the holy decree." ”

Ma Shen snorted coldly and said, "Please Buxiang case." ”

Uncle Zhao Xiang has already been prepared there, so let people bring the incense case, the Song Dynasty has not yet reached the Ming and Qing dynasties so strict, when receiving the holy decree, it is not necessarily necessary to let people kneel, Zhao Shuxiang only pretends to be deaf, still wearing armor and does not go, just bow down like that, to receive the holy decree, Ma Shen knew that it was useless to say anything, so he had to pretend not to see, but Zhao Zhen was standing there, not even bending over, Mu looked at it in a daze, Ma Shen wanted to reprimand again, Kuang Xun even made a look, he had to hold back the anger, and he had to open the holy decree.

At this time, there was a person who was not long-sighted, and Fan Xi couldn't look past it, so he shouted: "His Royal Highness King Xin, how much do you make a salute!" ”

Zhao Zhen was originally standing there with his head down, but when he heard this, he raised his head suddenly, glanced at Fan Xi coldly, and said, "What did you say?" ”

Fan Xi's understanding of the children of the Zhao family was still stuck at the beginning when he and Fan Qiong drew their swords, and they didn't even dare to complain, so they said: "The last general just wants you to ......." Before he finished his next words, Zhao Zhen stepped up and twisted his waist to kick it, first, Zhao Zhen's martial arts upgraded, and he shot with hatred, and secondly, Fan Xi was kicked by Zhao Zhen without preparation and flew out directly, falling outside the hall, and half of his teeth were kicked away.

"King Xin!" Ma Shen hurriedly reprimanded: "This is an angel accompanying you, how dare you be rude!" ”

"This is a betrayal of the lord and a rebel, a sword to force the palace, my father and brother are humiliated first, why can't I be like this!" Zhao Zhen was full of resentment in his chest, and responded loudly, Ma Shen's face couldn't help flashing a trace of shame, nothing else, these civil and military generals in Tokyo, but none of them are qualified to accuse Zhao Zhen, if it is Wang Shiyong, Fan Qiong is shameless, and dare to say a few more words, Ma Shenshi is a loyal minister, when Zhao Gou liquidated Zhang Bangchang and others, although he contributed to the imperial court, he still automatically went to work, and said that he had never died, a lifelong sin, and had no shame to defend himself, so he would be stimulated by Zhao Zhen's words and could not reply.

Kuang Xun couldn't help but secretly complain, and said in his heart: "If the quarrel ends and this holy decree is argued, it will be over." So he grabbed Ma Shen and said, "Master Ma, read the holy decree first, read the holy decree first!" ”

Ma Shen also knew that after reading this holy decree, if Zhao Shuxiang and Zhao Zhen could receive the decree, the dark clouds would disappear that day, and Zhao Gou's throne would be smooth, so he had to suppress his anger, so he picked up the holy decree and recited: "Fengtian carriers, the emperor's edict is ......." ”

When Zhao Shuxiang and Zhao Wenlie's father and son's ears were tilted up to listen, the previous nonsense passed, and when they heard that Zhao Shuxiang was added as the guard of Xijing, the deputy envoy of the Guanxi Five Road System, and the pacification envoy of Hedong, and Zhao Wenlie knew Taiyuan Mansion and the head of Taiyuan soldiers and horses, he couldn't help but light up at the same time, and said in his heart: "With this will, then Jingxi and Hedong will be our father and son." ”

After Ma Shen finished reciting, Zhao Shuxiang and Zhao Wenlie knelt down at the same time to thank him, and then Zhao Shuxiang took the holy decree with both hands.

Kuang Xun took a plate from the hands of the little eunuch behind, which was the seal of his father and son, and said: "Old Chitose, here is the big seal of the two of you, the official family has a purpose, the old Chitose is the royal pillar, when the world is in chaos and the day of the infestation of the Hulu, the major national affairs must be entrusted to the old Chitose, the safety of the Jingxi Road is related to whether the Western Army can return to aid the Beijing Division, and the Guanxi Zhulu, whether the connection with the Central Plains will be disconnected, and Taiyuan is an important town in Hedong, although the DPRK and China have agreed to cut off the Jin Dynasty, but the Jin soldiers broke the contract and captured my two saints, Therefore, he will seal the prince to know Taiyuan, and if possible, march north, recover Taiyuan, and welcome back the two saints. ”

Uncle Zhao patted his chest generously and said: "Please also ask my father-in-law and Master Ma to reply to the official family, Uncle Zhao is not only a minister of the country, but also a prince, and he will live up to the expectations of the saint." ”

Kuang Xun saw that Uncle Zhao had accepted the holy decree here, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, so he said to Uncle Zhao: "Old Chitose, just rest assured, the villain will definitely bring your words." Then he looked at Ma Shen and said to Zhao Zhen.

Ma Shen also knew that the trouble was here, so he opened a will, recited it aloud, and first highly praised Zhao Zhen for killing Zongyan Zongyin and rescuing Emperor Maode. “

After the holy decree was recited, Uncle Zhao was secretly surprised, and said in his heart: "This Zhao Gou can really take it, the fiefdoms here are all in the hands of the Jin people, Zhao Zhen has no one and no food, how can he sit still." ”

And Ma Kuo and Wenda are angry, in addition to the fiefdom is empty, they have not given the civil rights of the two roads, how to recruit soldiers? How to fight? What kind of salary? But both of them are military generals, and they are naturally short in front of Wenchen, but they dare to be angry and dare not speak, but their faces show resentment, but that's it, it still makes Ma Shen annoyed, and he said in his heart: "It's these generals who make King Xin ambitious, if they say anything, look at me like a scolding!" ”

Ma Shen was lucky, and Zhao Zhen suddenly said: "But I don't know who is the envoy of the two roads in Hebei?" ”

"Marshal Zhang, Zhang!" Ma Shen said in a deep voice, Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "What about the four capitals and two capitals?" ”

Kuang Xun didn't know what Zhao Zhen meant, so he said: "The one left behind in Tokyo is the old Yuan Rong of Zongze, and the one left behind in Nanjing is Lord Huang Qianshan." ”

Zhao Zhen sneered twice, and said in his heart: "Sure enough, it is the same as in the previous life, although in this life Zhao Gou returned to Tokyo in order to fight with me, but he still didn't dare to sit in Tokyo and wanted to flee south, so he left the sect elder Yuan Rong to stay in Tokyo, and let his cronie Huang Qianshan stay in Nanjing, waiting to run away at any time." ”

Zhao Zhen snorted coldly and said, "Who is in control of the Western Army?" ”

Kwong asked: "...... have not been placed yet. “

Zhao Zhen went over, took the holy decree, threw it on Kuang Xun's face, and said: "Go back and tell your official family, let him pass through the northwest with Zhang, and I will go to Hebei, otherwise he will know the consequences." ”

Ma Shen became more and more annoyed, and said, "Believe in the king! Please ....... ”

"Teacher, I don't fight for any rights in Hebei, I just want Zhang to pass through the northwest, and the Western Xia took advantage of my Jin attack, how can there be any reason not to use troops in my northwest? If there is no famous general passing through the northwest, once the Western Army is entangled, and the Jin people join the army from Guanshan, our Western Army will be attacked on both sides, can it still be saved? At that time, don't say that the Western Army will aid the Central Plains, but I'm afraid that the Central Plains will be in trouble because of the Western Army Rebellion! ”

Although Ma Shen despised the martial artists, he still had this bit of eyesight, and he immediately closed his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
