Chapter 716: Critical Obstacles

Tong Guan got the news of the Jin soldiers' large-scale southern invasion at the first time, but for Tong Guan, he paid more attention to the movements of Zhao Ji, the son of heaven, Tong Guan knew that once the Jin soldiers attacked the Song Dynasty, the official family would inevitably evacuate to the south, and it would not be too long, and it should be set off in these two days.

For this reason, he specially spent a lot of money to buy off the left and right attendants around the official family, and once the official family has a stir, he will get the news quickly.

In the room, several personal soldiers were busy cleaning up the study for him, packing what should be packed, packing what should be packed, and then waiting for the news from the official family to come and leave at any time.

Tong Guan paced back and forth with his hands on the side, patiently waiting for news from the palace and the imperial court, he wanted to know what the official family was doing now? It should also be busy packing up things, so what about the court officials? Tong Guan wanted to know if the Zhizheng Hall would follow the official family to the south and move the power to the south, thinking about it, how could a person who was fond of power like the official family really hand over the imperial power to the crown prince, even if he was in charge of the country, he could not get real power.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a rush of running sound outside the door, followed by Tong Yansi's trembling shout, "Father! Father! Something big has happened. ”

Tong Yansi didn't wait for the report from his own soldiers, rushed into the study like a gust of wind, and panted: "Father, something is wrong!" ”

Tong Guan frowned, and reprimanded dissatisfiedly: "You are also in your early thirties, why are you still like a hairy boy who has no concentration, the sky can't fall, stabilize my heart and speak slowly!" ”

"Yes!" Tong Yansi finally calmed down, and he said slowly: "I just got the news that the Son of Heaven has abdicated!" ”

"What!"

Tong Guan jumped up in shock and yelled, "Why didn't you say it earlier!" ”

Tong Yansi was full of grievances, lowered his head and whispered, "Didn't you let me speak slowly?" ”

"You bastard!"

Tong Guan was so stunned that he suddenly became angry, "I want you to die, whether you go or not, can you not be in a hurry for such a big thing?" ”

"The child knows his mistake!"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Tong Guan glared at him fiercely and said, "Hurry up, when is it?" ”

"More than an hour ago!"

"It happened more than an hour ago, why is the news coming now?"

"I heard that the palace door is closed, and no one is allowed to go out, Wang Zhong can't find a chance to come out and report the news."

Tong Guan's heart was in turmoil, pacing back and forth with his hands down, the official family actually abdicated, it was incredible, he actually gave up the imperial power? Tong Guan was nervous and worried, nervous because the news came too suddenly, he was not a little mentally prepared, and he was worried that the crown prince was finally going to ascend the throne, would he let himself go?

It's impossible to think about it, the first thing the prince wants to kill is Wang Hao, and the second is himself, and the good days are finally over.

Tong Guan let out a long sigh, although Tong Guan knew that there would be today, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, so that he was not prepared at all.

"When will the official family arrange for the crown prince to ascend the throne?"

"I heard that the official family has fled the capital."

Tong Guan was furious, couldn't hold back any longer, slapped Tong Yansi in the face hard, and scolded: "Bastard! Such an important thing, I don't ask you and you don't say? Do you want me to be cut by a thousand cuts? ”

Tong Yansi was stunned, covered his face and trembled: "The child is going to say!" ”

"You bastard!"

Tong Guan was furious, and drew his sword to cut his nephew, but in the end, his hand was off, and he slashed the sword on the table, and strode towards the outside of the study, "Prepare the horse, go to the barracks!" ”

Tong Yansi also knew that he was wrong, at this critical moment, one step later would be a catastrophe, and he had to enter the barracks and have the protection of the army to think about other things.

He hurriedly caught up with his father and whispered, "Father, the child knows that he is wrong!" ”

"You know you're wrong!" Tong Guan glared at him fiercely, "If the prince wants to ascend the throne, he must first slaughter me, at this time, you are still hiding and refusing to say, I wonder if your head has been gnawed by a dog?" ”

Tong Yansi didn't dare to say anything, and after a while, he suddenly whispered: "Father, this is an opportunity!" ”

Tong Guan's eyes narrowed, why didn't he understand what his son meant, the official family ran away, and he had 30,000 troops in his hands, so who became the emperor didn't have the final say? How could he let Zhao Huan ascend the throne and kill himself.

At this time, the soldiers brought the horses over, Tong Guan turned over the horses, and said to Tong Yansi: "You go to see Wang Hao immediately, ask him what he thinks, and tell him that I want to cooperate with him this time." ”

"The child obeys!"

Tong Guan urged the horse to run outside the gate of the mansion with more than a dozen personal soldiers, but as soon as he ran to the front of the mansion, his eyes suddenly widened, and he saw dozens of soldiers appear in front of the mansion, with bows and arrows, and the arrows were coldly aimed at him.

Without waiting for him to react, he just heard an order, "Shoot!" ”

Dozens of arrows shot out at the same time, but the horse did not shoot people, only to see a burst of people on their backs, the soldiers have landed, Tong Guan's war horse was also shot through the head by an arrow, a scream, fell to the ground and died, Tong Guan overturned the ground, the horse corpse pressed him under him, dozens of soldiers swarmed up, Tong Guan's personal soldiers wanted to draw their knives to resist, but they were all hacked to death by a burst of knives, Tong Guan was pressed to the ground and tied up.

At this time, Li Yanqing walked in from outside, came to Tong Guan and said with a smile: "Captain Tong, I want to go to the barracks!" ”

"Li Yanqing, you ungrateful white-eyed wolf!" Tong Guan roared in despair.

Li Yanqing shook his head, "I'm actually helping you, in case you and Wang Hao do something stupid, it will be stinking for 10,000 years!" ”

"Phew!" Tong Guan spat fiercely, "If you have a kind, you will kill me!" ”

Li Yanqing's eyes became cold, and he snorted: "You can not die for the time being, but Tong Yansi should pay for his life for Chonglin!" ”

Tong Guan was shocked, "Li Yanqing, you-"

Before Tong Guan could continue, a soldier gagged him with a rag, put a black pocket on his head, dragged him down by several soldiers, and put him in a carriage.

Li Yanqing turned over and ordered: "Go to the East Palace!" ”

The carriage started and sped towards the palace........

Tong Yansi was only one step later than Tong Guan, and when Tong Guan was blocked by Li Yanqing's men in front of the gate, Tong Yansi was on the back of the wall, only a zhang away from his father.

When he found that the situation was not good, he did not rush out to save his father, but turned around and ran, he knew in his heart that he could not save his father now, only the army could save his father back, pull the 30,000 troops over, dare not let go of his father, then no one would want to be the emperor.

Tong Yansi ran all the way, he didn't dare to go through the side door, but ran to a very secret door in the back house, outside was an alley, but it was a dead alley, but as long as he climbed over the courtyard wall, no one could find him.

In just a moment, Tong Yansi ran to the back door, he didn't hesitate at all, opened the door and ran into the alley, but only ran two steps and froze, only to see more than 20 soldiers in front of him raising crossbows aimed at him, a burly general gave an order, and fired random arrows, Tong Yansi died under the random arrows before he could react.

.........

The gate of the East Palace was closed, hundreds of guards were wearing armor and helmets, holding spears, bows and arrows in their hands, and on the steps in front of the Qinzheng Palace, the crown prince Zhao Huan and several backbone members of the military hall such as Li Gang, Wu Min, and Sun Fu were anxiously waiting for Li Yanqing's news.

At this time, Zhao Huan was both excited and nervous, and at the same time his heart was extremely heavy, excited that he finally got his father's abdication edict, and he could justifiably ascend the throne.

And the nervousness is that he knows very well that it is dangerous and abnormal now, his father has fled, throwing a bunch of messes to himself, and he has no army in his hands at all, even if Gao Yu is neutral, what about Tong Guan? Tong Guan's 30,000 Xiang army controls the capital, and once Tong Guan leads the army into the forbidden middle, he will have nothing.

Thinking of his father's escape, and thinking that the Jin soldiers had already killed the north bank of the Yellow River, maybe now the Jin soldiers have crossed the Yellow River and are killing the capital, internal and external troubles, Zhao Huan feels that his waist has been broken, but there are few people who can help him solve his worries, of course, Li Yanqing is one, and now he can only count on Li Yanqing.

At this moment, a guard shouted in the sentry tower overhead: "Your Highness, Li Fuyin is back!" ”

Zhao Huan was overjoyed, hurriedly walked down the steps, and ordered left and right, "Open the palace door quickly!" ”

The palace gate creaked open, only to see Li Yanqing led two hundred soldiers and a carriage into the East Palace, Li Yanqing saw Zhao Huan coming to greet him in person, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee and bowed, "Weichen Li Yanqing, see His Majesty the Emperor, long live Long live!" ”

Zhao Huan was extremely moved in his heart, this was the first minister to officially call himself emperor, he hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Yanqing, "Li Fuyin doesn't have to be polite, please get up quickly!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Yanqing stood up, and Zhao Huan asked worriedly, "Tong Guan..... Did you catch it? ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Weichen will not disappoint Your Majesty!"

Li Yanqing waved his hand, "Bring people down!" ”
