In front of the palace, the generals are rushing over one after another, but Zhang Yongde is no longer here.

Zhao Kuangyin, who had a black face, sat in the lobby for a while, his heart was full of anger and sadness, and a feeling of betrayal came up. Four years ago, Zhang Yongde transferred Zhao Kuangyin from Kaifeng Fuma to the forbidden army, and in the battle of Gaoping, they trusted each other and killed the enemy side by side, and after the war, Zhang Yongde spared no effort to ask for merit for him...... Scenes of the past are like yesterday.

But at this critical moment, when Zhang Yongde was needed the most, he was gone! Zhang Yongde and the envoys of the left chamber went to the military camp of the Crane Control Army together, saying that they were going to send someone to the palace to ask what happened? Now what else is there to ask! He hurriedly left the front of the palace and hid in the barracks of the Crane Army.

Sure enough, the catastrophe is coming, and they fly separately! Zhang Yongde must have realized the danger, and he was not willing to take risks in adversity at all, so he took the lead...... Zhao Kuangyin said in his heart: I treat you as a brother in vain, and I usually respect you, so you play with me and fight with me?

At this moment, Zhao Pu and Shi Shouxin came to the outside of the lobby with a group of generals. Before Zhao Kuangyin could figure out what to do, he got up and left the lobby. Zhao Pu saw him and hurriedly followed, and the two walked to the signing room behind the lobby, Zhao Pu closed the door and quickly asked, "Where is Zhang Yongde?" ”

"Ran away." Zhao Kuangyin said straightforwardly, and casually put the package in his hand on the case and pushed it, "You can help me put this thing away, it's useless." ”

Zhao Pu's face was dark, and he was stunned and also worried.

Kuang Yin said again: "We also have to leave the palace division quickly, it is possible that the 'rebels' have entered the imperial city now." ”

"There are dozens of generals here, or ...... The lord simply ascended the throne and became the emperor here! Zhao Pu showed a crazy look, "I'll go and ask Shi Shouxin and others to help, and put the yellow robe on the lord's body for a while, and most of the others will be coerced!" ”

The corners of Kuang Yin's mouth twitched when he heard this. In this world, where five dynasties in a row are military generals to replace the imperial power, experience and examples can be found, Zhao Kuangyin was already the second military general of the Zhou Dynasty two years ago, and there was only one Zhang Yongde (Li Chongjin had no chance when he went to other towns) ...... In this case, Zhao Kuangyin never thought that that the huge temptation was impossible. But there are some things that seem close at hand, but they are actually out of reach.

"What's the use?" Kuang Yin shook his head and said.

Zhao Pu hurriedly said: "Then, these generals who came, tell them to hurry back to the camp to gather soldiers and horses!" ”

Kuang Yin couldn't care about the sadness, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Send someone to the west of the imperial city immediately to take a look." The road to the south is not easy to walk, so it is detoured from the north of the imperial city. Be sure to make sure that the 'rebels' have not entered the Imperial City! Xihua Gate was a strong fortification in times of crisis, and it was equally laborious and time-consuming to storm it. ”

Zhao Pu hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "I'll find someone right away." ”

Kuang Yin was still very rational and calm at the critical moment, and he didn't panic, he nodded and said: "You sent my personal soldiers to see the situation, and when you got the news, I told them to go directly to the Central Army of the First Army on the left side of the Iron Cavalry to report." I can't stay here, I'm going to find Shi Shouxin, Wang Xianqi, and Han Chongyun now, and ask them to take the generals of the Iron Cavalry Army directly to the barracks to discuss matters. Except for the Iron Cavalry, other men and horses are now even more difficult to command. ”

"Things must be taken well." Kuang Yin pointed to the burden that Zhao Pu was carrying. It's a useless burden now.

Kuang Yin quickly made a judgment on the situation in front of him: Zhang Yongde took a step first, and naturally he could not chase him to the left side of the Crane Army to force him to take the position; The plan to obtain the name of mobilizing the army after supporting the emperor outside the imperial city is no longer feasible. (Zhao Kuangyin didn't dare to move a small number of soldiers and horses, the other party was dispatched by a large army; If there are fewer people and there is no name to incite the morale of the army, it will have no effect at all. Mobilizing an army is the key. ）

It is completely unnecessary to call himself the emperor, and in the current situation, the emperor is a live target who has taken the initiative to become a forbidden army; Since there is no Zhang Yongde, raising troops in the name of quelling chaos is the best choice with no choice.

After he figured it out, he was ready to face reality. walked out of the signing room with Zhao Pu.

At this moment, suddenly a general came up and hugged his fists and said, "General Zhao, Wang Pu has brought people to the government office." ”

Zhao Kuangyin was taken aback, and immediately asked, "How many people did you bring?" ”

"Dozens of rides." The general replied.

Zhao Kuangyin secretly exhaled a little after hearing this, and hurriedly called Zhao Pu to go out together. At this time, I saw that the generals in the hall had all run to the door of the government office, and someone was talking loudly outside.

When I got to the door, I saw dozens of cavalry escorting the privy envoy Wang Pu and several eunuchs in front. Wang Pu said loudly: "I brought the holy decree and the military order of the Privy Council, and the front of the palace checked where Zhang Yongde was?" ”

Someone shouted: "Zhang Du has gone to control the left wing of the Crane Army." ”

"In front of the palace, Zhao Kuangyin and Yu waited for Shi Yanchao, and all the chambers commanded the envoys to come out to listen to the order!" Wang Pu doesn't seem to be planning to enter the government office.

At this time, everyone got out of the way and exposed Zhao Kuangyin from behind the crowd. And although Shi Yanchao is in the crowd, he is the tallest, full of height above a head or half a head around him, which is very conspicuous.

In this situation, Zhao Kuangyin had no choice but to step forward and say: "Zhao is here." ”

The eunuch was about to step forward to announce the decree, but Wang Pu stretched out his hand to stop the eunuch, and directly stepped forward and said: "The Privy Council has ordered the generals to be commended...... and then read the list of promotion awards for the military generals in front of the palace.

At this time, Zhao Pu asked: "I heard that there are rebels attacking the imperial city, have the rebels occupied the imperial city?" Whose orders are these orders? ”

Wang Pu calmly said loudly: "Who told you that it was a rebel!" The official family personally approved before the collapse, and Yang Shiliang, the regular attendant of the inner family, was a cronie of the official family, and the old man and others were also present...... ordered the queen to supervise the country, and the queen ordered to mobilize people and horses in order to strengthen the defense of the imperial city; The army entered the imperial city to act on orders, how is it a rebel? If there is no decree of the queen and the military order of the Privy Council, the unauthorized use of troops is a rebellion and a rebellion! ”

At this time, Zhao Pu said loudly: "The soldiers and horses have all entered the imperial city, as long as the official family does not come to issue the decree in person, how do you know whether this holy decree is the meaning of the official family and whether the queen is ordered to supervise the country?" Maybe you have taken the official family hostage by force and issued an edict! ”

It sounds really reasonable, but maybe that's the way it is...... But Wang Pu actually "snorted", took the holy decree, the edict, and the military order of the Privy Council to a eunuch, and then patted the horse and left. didn't pay attention to Zhao Pu at all, let alone argue with him.

Leaving Zhao Pu standing in place, as if he had been punched in the air and was despised and abandoned by others, he was very embarrassed.

Seeing this, Zhao Kuangyin only felt that Zhao Pu and Wang Pudou were still too far behind! It's like an ordinary civilian and a fierce general, and it can't even match half a move.

The privy envoy personally came to deliver the decree and the military order, suspecting that the people were fake? Since the privy envoys can help the queen, doesn't it prove that the queen has control of the situation and power...... What's the difference between a fake and a real thing?

The generals are already talking. A strange red light had already appeared on the faces of a few people, and it was a few people who had suddenly established a festival.

Build a festival, make a festival! After the Anshi Rebellion in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the power and fame of the name skyrocketed, until recently, the name of the two hundred years of the great name, but anyone who is a military general, a section is a symbol of identity and status! Be polite when others speak!

Since the Zhou Dynasty, the power of the festival has been greatly weakened and restricted, except for a few towns in the northwest, Hedong and Hebei have a little strength, other festivals have little strength; In particular, most of the forbidden army and the envoys of the festival belong to the remote leaders of the Linglu, which is equivalent to the princes who have been feudal since the Tang Dynasty and have no actual fiefdoms...... But these did not completely eliminate the enthusiasm of the generals for the Jiedu envoys. What everyone wants is status, identity, and dignity!

However, it is not easy for those who build festivals, either to have real great achievements or to have the accumulation of several generations. Now that the festival is established all at once, not to mention the reliable channels such as the holy decree from the palace and the military order of the Privy Council, even if it is just a dream, everyone wants to stay in the dream for a while.

…… Zhao Kuangyin was also stunned, and couldn't help but have a thought in his heart: How long has it been since I heard the sound of horses' hooves? Is there half an hour? Perhaps, but not in an hour.

It only took half an hour for the queen to transfer troops to fully control the situation! Every step is exquisite and perfect, and every step is simple, direct and effective! In a bold, violent and fast approach, it is full of delicate style.

Beads of sweat appeared on Zhao Kuangyin's forehead, and he suddenly remembered the thunderous methods of Emperor Chai Rong before and after the Battle of Gaoping; Now this woman is not inferior to Chai Rong, or even more terrifying!

Even if Empress Fu was his mortal enemy, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly felt a sense of awe, he felt that his worst mistake was to be an enemy of Empress Fu!

But Zhao Kuangyin felt that his strength was actually greater than that of the Fu Hou party, and he was still a little unwilling for a while. His mood was really complicated and chaotic in an instant.

The eunuchs outside still stayed there to recite the holy decree and the edict, and everyone seemed to be intoxicated with the tangible benefits within reach, and they were still listening there. Zhao Kuangyin didn't care about the eunuch's holy decree, quickly left the door of the government office, and hurriedly said to Zhao Pu: "You don't need to send someone to investigate, immediately gather my personal soldiers to prepare horses, and leave the front of the palace." Guo Shao's men must have captured the palace city, and forced the ministers of the two palaces of the imperial city to serve the queen. ”

Zhao Kuangyin said to an entourage general: "Go and call Shi Shouxin, Wang Xianqi, and Han Chongyun in." ”

After a short time, three people entered. Zhao Kuangyin said simply: "The whole army of the forbidden army is rewarded, and there are not a few of us." How many brothers do you think traitors will spare? ”

Shi Shouxin and the others frowned and were speechless.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Come with me, let's hurry up and go to the garrison of the First Army on the left side of the Iron Cavalry." In the barracks, they didn't dare to come for a while. ”

Zhang Yongde went directly to the military camp of the Crane Army, and Zhao Kuangyin followed his path, and also felt that the kind of place to go was a slightly more stable place at the moment. At that moment, he took his generals and personal soldiers and hurriedly went out through the side door.
