Zhao Chen walked forward, and along the way, more and more soldiers followed him and walked forward together.

Kang An had obviously gotten the news, and he was striding towards here at the moment.

The moment he saw Zhao Chen, he immediately knelt down.

Kang Anxin was also extremely excited.

"Your Majesty!" Kang An's voice choked.

"Let's get flat!" Zhao Chen said.

Kang An stood up, observed Zhao Chen carefully, and found that Zhao Chen was safe and sound, so he was relieved.

"Your Majesty, where have you been these days? We're all looking for you, and we're worried! Kang An said.

"On that day, I was assassinated on the West Lake, and then I was rescued! A lot of things happened after that, I suffered internal injuries and stayed outside for a few days, waiting until my body was fully recovered, and then I came back. Zhao Chen's eyes were a little confused, and he said.

"Your Majesty, have you suffered internal injuries?" Kang An said with some concern.

"Healed! What is the situation in Lin'an City now? Zhao Chen said.

"There is some chaos in Lin'an City, and many of those officials and gentry are ready to move! According to the information sent by Lord Wang Dewang, Yang Shi and other Jiangnan Confucians actually wanted to re-establish a new monarch! However, they don't know that there are all our people in the Yang Mansion, and everything about them can't escape our ears and eyes! It's just that we don't have time to deal with them in order to find Your Majesty. Kang An said.

"Yang Shi, such a clown who jumps off the beam, now he dares to stand up!" Zhao Chen said coldly.

"Your Majesty, you will return to Lin'an and stabilize the situation in Lin'an! As long as you appear in Lin'an, Yang Shi and the others will definitely not dare to have other thoughts. Kang An said.

"No!" Zhao Chen said lightly.

"Not really?" Kang Anxin was a little surprised.

"Since I was assassinated on the West Lake, and my life and death are uncertain, then I will plan now! If I go back now, Yang Shi's conspiracy has not yet been exposed, and it is inconvenient for me to kill him! He is a Confucian in the south of the Yangtze River, and his reputation among the people is extremely high, so I can't kill him for no reason! But if he establishes a new monarch and the conspiracy is exposed, it will be a great crime of rebellion, and when the time comes, I will kill the nine clans, and I will never be polite to them again! I just watched from the sidelines to see if there were any other jumping clowns who would stand up with Yang Shi and kill them all when the time came! Otherwise, even if I appease them, they are secretly stumbling on me, which will be very detrimental to my rule in Jiangnan! Moreover, after I came to Jiangnan, it seems that some people are dissatisfied with me! In the court, on the rivers and lakes, there are many people! Blindly appeasement is not enough, I want to kill the Quartet, first shock Jiangnan, and then use pacification means! Hmph, some people, do you really think that I don't dare to kill? Zhao Chen gritted his teeth and said.

After coming to Jiangnan, he was first assassinated by the White Lotus Sect, and then heard that Yang Shi and others wanted to set up a new monarch, and Zhao Chen was completely enraged. Originally, he was going to come to Jiangnan to immediately implement pacification measures to stabilize the situation in Jiangnan, but now he feels that it is not enough to just use appeasement, and he needs carrots and sticks to suppress the arrogance of some people in Jiangnan first, and then use pacification methods. This may be more useful than mere appeasement.

"Not bad! Some people in Jiangnan need to strike first! Kang An nodded.

"Tell Wu Jie, Wang De and the others the news of my return, and let them not slack off and pay close attention to the situation in all parts of Jiangnan! During this period of time, people's hearts are fluctuating, and there must be many beam-jumping clowns standing up, and those beam-jumping clowns who stand up are all people we want to kill! Zhao Chen said.

He looked in the direction of Lin'an City, with a cold light in his eyes.

******

The spring rain has been continuous, and it has reached March 20, and there is still no sign of stopping.

In the past few days, Yang Shi has sent all his disciples out to contact well-known Confucians from all over the south of the Yangtze River.

In addition, Li Tong, Luo Congyan and others are also running around at the moment to contact the ministers of the imperial court.

When the day was just dawning, Yang Shi had already led a group of people towards Ziluo Lane, where some military generals lived.

There are magnificent buildings everywhere, and when Yang Shi came to the door of a house, people knocked on the door.

After a while, a somewhat dark and thin man appeared in front of Yang Shi, who turned out to be Miao Fu, the commander of the Jiangnan Imperial Camp. However, Miao Fu did not wear armor today, but wore the robes of the literati. It's just that he's a general, and wearing such clothes always gives people a sense of nondescriptry.

"Mr. Yang, how did you come to the last general?" Miao Fu said in surprise.

He knew that Yang Shi had always looked down on generals like him, and it was never possible to take the initiative to find them generals, so he was very surprised.

"Naturally, there are important things to discuss!" A smile squeezed out of Yang Shi's face, to.

However, Yang Shi looked at Miao Fu with an indescribable contempt in his eyes, and he couldn't hide it at all.

Seeing his eyes, Miao Fu couldn't help frowning.

"I wonder what's important?" Miao Fu didn't invite Yang Shi to enter the door, but said coldly.

"General Miao, as a minister of the imperial court, don't you even know the number of etiquette? When the old man came here, didn't you invite the old man in? Are you so vulgar? Yang Shi was furious and said.

"Humph!" Miao Fu snorted coldly, and anger appeared on his face.

Seeing that Miao Fu had no intention of letting himself in at all, Yang Shi was about to turn around and leave, but when he thought of the "big thing", he still endured it.

"General Miao, the old man is here today, and he really has something important to discuss! Emperor Xuanwu's assassination, you must already know? Yang Shi had to stand at the door and said.

"The assassination of Emperor Xuanwu is just a rumor, and no one knows whether he died or not." Miao Fu said coldly.

"Emperor Xuanwu just came to Lin'an City that day, and immediately took Emperor Jianyan's concubine to visit the West Lake, it was really absurd and shameless to the extreme, from ancient times to the present, there has never been such a shameless emperor! His assassination in West Lake is also true, and he did die! There is no doubt about this. Yang Shi said.

Originally, "taking Emperor Jianyan's concubine to visit the West Lake" was made up by Yang Shi himself, but now that this is true, he himself is convinced of it. As for Zhao Chen's death, this is also his speculation, but he is now more and more convinced of this speculation, without the slightest doubt.

"What the hell are you going to say?" Miao Fu said impatiently.

"A kingdom cannot be without a king for a day! The old man has found a good candidate and is ready to be canonized as the new king! You have a large number of soldiers and horses in the Jiangnan Imperial Camp and are extremely strong, and you are also a subordinate of the new monarch, so naturally you should support the new monarch! Soon, the new monarch will succeed to the throne, and you will also go to see the succession ceremony of the new monarch, and you will also be a hero of the dragon in the future, wouldn't it be happy? Yang Shi said with a smile on his face.

"Not interested!" Miao Fu said coldly.

"General Miao, do you still have the Great Song Dynasty in your heart? Don't have a common people yet? Do you still have a little bit of loyalty? Yang Shi shouted.

"Emperor Xuanwu is still in the world, the world has just been unified, and you want cholera in the world, I think you Yang Shi is a kingless and fatherless, a villain!" Miao Fu sneered.

"You...... Damn it! The new monarch will succeed to the throne, and the first one will break you into pieces! Yang Shi pointed at Miao Fu, spitting and scolding.

"Oh! In this way, your so-called new monarch will succeed to the throne, and my Miao Fu will not be the first to agree! I won't agree to the Jiangnan Imperial Camp! Miao Fu sneered.

"Ahh That's not true! If you pledge your allegiance to the new king, the new king will return the favor! General Miao, you must not do anything rebellious! Yang Shi was shocked and said.

"Humph!" Miao Fu snorted coldly, turned around and returned to his home, making people close the door and no longer care about the outside affairs.

In fact, Miao Fu was also contradictory in his heart, and he didn't know whether Zhao Chen was dead or alive, but he felt that Zhao Chen's methods were powerful, and he would never act rashly when he was not sure of Zhao Chen's death! As for Yang Shi, in his opinion, he is a stupid figure to the extreme! Even if Zhao Chen really died, there were still Wu Jie, Wang De and others, and the establishment of the new monarch would first have to consult with them and act according to their eyes! Yang Shi and a group of powerless Confucians actually ignored it, and it was ridiculous that they wanted to establish a new monarch!

"These lowly people who have no king, no father, and no etiquette!" Yang Shi pointed at Miao Fu's door and scolded at this moment.

After that, Yang Shi went to look for Liu Zhengyan again, but Liu Zhengyan has always been the first to look forward to Miao Fu, Miao Fu did not agree, and he naturally will not agree.

Yang Shi had to return disappointed.

******

After returning to his home, Li Tong, Luo Congyan and others were waiting for Yang Shi here.

"How? What is the situation now? You go to contact the ministers of the DPRK and China, how many of the ministers are willing to take refuge in the new monarch? After Yang Shi saw them, he immediately asked.

"Among the six Shangshu, except for three people who are closed to the door, the rest are willing to support the new monarch! Most of the ministers of the ministries, the ministers of the Zhongshu Province and the Privy Council are also willing to support the new monarch! The prefect of Lin'an is also willing to support the new monarch! Li Tong said.

"That's great!" Yang Shi was overjoyed.

"Mr. Yang, you go to Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan, what are the wishes of the two of them? Do you promise to support the new king? Luo Congyan said.

"These two rebels who have no king and no father, they are unwilling to agree to support the new king! There is no such damned person in the world! When the new monarch succeeds to the throne, they must be broken into thousands of pieces, and the nine clans must be killed, and they must not be left behind! Yang Shi hated Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan very much, and said now.

"It's nature!" Li Tong nodded.

"Now that there is a big chaos today, a new monarch should be established as soon as possible! When the new monarch succeeds to the throne, we will have the name of orthodoxy and can command the world! At that time, if we want to kill Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan, it's just a sentence! The rebellion of the Jiangnan Imperial Camp was because of Wang Yuan, and he didn't really want to persecute Emperor Jianyan, but he was later taken advantage of by Emperor Xuanwu! Now that the new monarch has succeeded to the throne, as long as he says a word, the whole Jiangnan imperial camp will support His Majesty, and they will take the initiative to kill Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan to take refuge in His Majesty! As for the officers and soldiers in Guanshan and the Central Plains, they will also support Xinjun! Those powerful soldiers and horses under Emperor Xuanwu will also support the new monarch! There won't be a single problem! So, the key now is to let the new monarch succeed to the throne as soon as possible, and it would be bad if someone established a new monarch before us. Luo Congyan said.

"Yes, that's right! I was going to contact the prefects and governors in various parts of Jiangnan, but now it seems that I don't need it. Yang Shi said.

"Not really! After the new monarch succeeds to the throne, we will contact those prefects and prefectures! At that time, the will of the new king was given, and they would inevitably obey the new king. Luo Congyan said.

"Good! Then let's discuss the date of the new king's succession! Yang Shi said.

At this time, someone outside reported that someone was asking to see him.
