"Pass my order, today's affairs must be leaked, and all the doors will be beheaded!" Zhao Yougong shouted, and everyone hurriedly agreed, not daring to disobey in the slightest.

Therefore, there are very few people in history who know that Zhao Gou almost went mad because of the disappearance of his second brother, and killed everyone. All the surviving guards, officials and others were silent about this, and no one was willing to mention this matter until many years later, Zhao Gou went to Xiangguo Temple again.

The presiding abbot personally greeted him, and praised Zhao Gou: "The first in the world, no one can beat it!" ”

It is precisely because of these eight words that it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that the presiding abbot has fought with Zhao Gou, and he has been defeated in his hands. Zhao Gou laughed at this matter, and the host was reluctant to say more, which attracted more speculation, and there were different opinions.

The monks of Xiangguo Temple are outsiders, they do not want to get involved in the battle of the rivers and lakes, nor do they want to get involved in the dispute between the parties of the imperial court, and they are dedicated to chanting and chanting Buddha. The presiding abbot and the strength of everyone can't compete with Zhao Gou, even if he goes crazy, but his martial arts are really superb, and only those who are really hidden in the mountains and forests are opponents.

In addition, the host of Xiangguo Temple also discovered the internal strength of Buddhism in Zhao Gou, and the internal strength of Taoism, and the compatibility of Buddhism and Taoism, such a thing is really rare. The abbot returned to Xiangguo Temple to recuperate from his injuries for several months, and every time he thought about it, he still felt incredible.

Zhao Gou calmed down, and he ordered everyone to go back. On the other hand, Zhao Gou also ordered the generals of the sixteen states of Yanyun to strictly investigate the people who left the customs, and it was necessary to track down suspicious people. Then, he went to the Chu Palace, with Zhao Yougong and Liubu Shangshu, to discuss what to do next.

"Ninth brother, now that the situation is urgent, what should I do next?"

Zhao Gou sighed: "I don't know what to do!" ”

"A home is not without an owner for a day, and a country cannot be without a king for a day!" Pan Lianggui said in a deep voice, "Weichen knows that such a thing is happening right now, which is unexpected and unacceptable to us. However, what if the ministers of the DPRK and China do not see the emperor come forward all day long? ”

"I'm afraid that the Great Song Dynasty is really messed up, and I'm afraid it's a little late to think about rectification at that time, so it's better to directly let His Royal Highness King Yan take charge of the affairs of the court, and I'll help from the side." Even if that person catches the second emperor, it will be useless, the court is not in chaos, and there is a way to rescue. ”

"What Master Pan said is extremely true, and Weichen also approves of King Yan coming forward to preside over the government!" Xu Jingheng echoed, "Since the beginning of the rebellion of the White Lotus Society, and then to the side of King Yan Qingjun, all the poisoning tumors of the dynasty have been removed, and the emperor rarely shows up later, and it is the King of Yan, the King of Chu and I who deal with the government and let it be. ”

Ye Mengde continued: "However, in this way, it is not justified, for King Yan, it is suspected of killing the king." If the emperor has never shown up, I am afraid that some people will speculate that he was persecuted by His Royal Highnesses King Yan and King Chu, and it will be too late to tell the truth at that time. ”

"It's better to go to court tomorrow morning, and we will announce this matter to the public, and then think about it in the long run!"

"Lord Ye, this matter must not be announced to the public!" Wang Yun hurriedly persuaded and said, "Now that the emperor has been captured, and the emperor is included, if this matter is announced to the outside world immediately, not to mention that everyone in our court is afraid, even the officials of the court and the central government will find it difficult to live in peace." ”

"I'm afraid that at that time, everyone will say that King Yan killed the second emperor in order to seize the throne, or gossip such as being confined, which is not necessarily a good thing for the Great Song Dynasty. If His Royal Highnesses King Yan and King Chu are suspected by the ministers of the court, then the Great Song Dynasty will also be in chaos. ”

Zhao Yougong said in a deep voice: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so you should think about what to do." ”

Zhu Zhuo, who had not spoken for a long time, opened his mouth and said the core of the problem sharply, "Now that the Emperor Taishang and the Second Emperor have been captured, this news must not be hidden." If it delays time, it will delay the pursuit of those traitors and delay the operation to rescue the second emperor. ”

Weichen thought that this matter still needed to be announced to the outside world, and the only way to do it was to say it and not hide it. As for who will become the new king, it is not impossible to make plans after the dust settles. Now the government of the Great Song Dynasty is in the hands of His Royal Highnesses King Yan and King Chu, who becomes the new monarch can only be chosen between the two of them, and others dare not say much. ”

"After all, under the strength of King Yan, the poisoning tumor was removed, and under the supervision of King Yan, the words and deeds of the hundred officials did not dare to be presumptuous, which has already shown that the two highnesses of King Yan and King Chu will be the future monarchs of the Great Song Dynasty, who is the king, it is better to determine the situation of the two emperors and then discuss."

Zhao Gou said in a deep voice: "What Lord Zhu said is very true, just do what Lord Zhu said!" ”

Therefore, the six Shangshu and the Privy Council envoy Zhao Yougong, Yan Wang Zhao Gou and others jointly issued a decree to summon all the civil and military officials in the capital to the palace and above, and then in the main hall, the news that the two emperors of Huizong and Qinzong were captured was like a thunderbolt from the sky.

"How is that possible? How can it be? The crowd was in disbelief, and the whole person panicked.

Zhao Gou shouted: "Now that the two emperors of Hui and Qin have been captured, this is the shame of the Great Song Dynasty." Jing Kang is ashamed, and it is still snowing. Today, the emperor and the emperor may be in danger, waiting for us to come to the rescue. If everyone is worried here, complaining, or panicking, then the Great Song Dynasty will be over, and what should happen to the thousands of Li people in the Great Song Dynasty? ”

"Spread the king's order, immediately and strictly investigate the people who leave the customs, whether it is a merchant or a common people, especially those who are dressed up as gold, or people with a golden accent, must be verified. As for the major affairs of the DPRK and China, they were handled jointly by the Six Books and the Privy Council, and as before, there was not much change. ”

"Obey the order!" Since Zhao Gou is not the emperor and is only a prince, his words cannot be followed as a holy decree, but can be obeyed as an order of the prince.

The news of the disappearance and capture of Emperor Huizong and Emperor Qinzong of the Great Song Dynasty quickly spread to all corners of the Great Song Dynasty. Moreover, news also came from the Jin Dynasty that the two emperors of Huizong and Qinzong had been captured, which made everyone angry in the Great Song Dynasty, and those who were unwilling to join the army also put down their hoes and enthusiastically joined the army, even the literati put down their pens and picked up swords.

Today, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty and the Emperor Taishang were both captured alive and captured by the Jin Dynasty, and this kind of news made the Great Song Dynasty feel the same hatred. Zhao Gou and others also knew that after the Jin people captured the second emperor, they did not take the land route, but the water route, which also avoided everyone's eyes and ears and calmly returned to the Great Jin Dynasty.

The soldiers sent out by Zhao Gou pursued all the way and did not find the enemy, and even the Jianghu sect came forward, but there was still no way to trace any clues, as if they had disappeared. It is recorded in the history books: "The change of Jingkang, the second emperor of Huiqin was captured; There is no peace in the country, and people and gods are angry! ”

Zhao Gou and Zhao Yougong led hundreds of civil and military officials to deal with the riots caused by the emperor in the Great Song Dynasty, and the six Shangshu were busy these days. Zhao Gou, Zhao Yougong and others have not rested for half a month, so they take a break when they are tired, and then continue to deal with government affairs.

At the same time, Zhao Yougong also received a long-awaited message, and after reading the news, his frowns also relaxed, and the smile that had been absent for a long time hung on his face again. Originally, he was also worried, but now he is completely relieved.

As everyone knows, Zhao Yougong's smile attracted Zhao Gou's suspicion, but Zhao Yougong didn't see Zhao Gou hiding in the shadows, and even his actions such as burning the note were clearly seen by Zhao Gou, and he muttered to himself: "What is the second brother hiding?" ……”
