Chapter 717: The New Emperor Ascends the Throne
The car door opened, Tong Guan was escorted down by two soldiers, his hood had been removed, and the rags in his mouth had been taken out, only to see that his face was like ashes, his legs trembled, and he was a little unsteady on his feet.
Zhao Huan glanced at Tong Guan, and smiled at Li Yanqing again: "Let Fu Yin bother, but Gu is still in the East Palace now, and he can't trespass at will, please Fu Yin is still commensurate with the East Palace!" ”
Li Yanqing nodded, "Weichen obeys!" ”
Li Yanqing immediately ordered again: "Untie him!" ”
Two soldiers stepped forward to untie Tong Guan, Tong Guan moved his arm slightly, stepped forward and knelt down, "Weichen knocks on His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
Zhao Huan nodded, "Taiwei Tong knows why Gu invited you to the East Palace?" ”
"Wechen is guilty, Wechen is willing to fully support His Highness's accession to the throne to atone for Wechen's past disrespect to His Highness!"
Tong Guan just said that he was willing to support Zhao Huan to ascend the throne, but he refused to say that he was willing to give up military power, which really made Li Gang dissatisfied, and he was so hard-mouthed when he was dying, he looked at Li Yanqing, Li Yanqing gave him a look, Li Gang found that the prince Zhao Huan was silent in thought, and he knew that Zhao Huan was a little tempted.
Li Gang was in a hurry, Li Yanqing worked hard to arrest Tong Guan to the East Palace, if he was released, it would really be a return to the mountain.
Li Gang hurriedly stepped forward and whispered to Zhao Huan: "This person can't be trusted, it's better to wait for His Highness to ascend the throne before dealing with it!" ”
Zhao Huan is not a stupid person after all, he also knows that Tong Guan can't believe it, especially when Tong Guan holds military power, he must deprive him of his military power before thinking about it, so he nodded and said to the guards: "Take Tong Taiwei to the other palace to rest first, so that he can take care of him, and he must not be lazy!" ”
Several guards agreed, and stepped forward to help Tong Guan, "Captain, please!" ”
Tong Guan was forced to get up by the soldiers, unwillingly followed them away, passed in front of Li Yanqing, slowly raised his head, and stared at Li Yanqing with a pair of triangular eyes extremely viciously.
Li Yanqing snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Tong Yansi failed to break through and has been shot on the spot!" ”
Tong Guan's face turned pale, his whole body trembled, and he immediately collapsed to the ground, crying loudly, and several guards forcibly helped him up and took him away.
At this time, Zhao Huan asked puzzledly: "Li Fuyin, what happened?" ”
Li Yanqing handed a gold medal for troop transfer to Zhao Huan, "After Weichen captured Tong Guan, Tong Yansi rushed to the north barracks with the troop transfer gold medal to prepare to besiege the East Palace, but was intercepted by Weichen's men, and there was a fierce battle between the two sides, and Tong Yansi was killed when he broke through. ”
Zhao Huan took the gold medal for troop transfer, he was speechless for a long time, he really wanted to collect Tong Guan for his own use, but he didn't expect Tong Guan to be so desperate, he was about to move troops when he heard the news of his father's abdication, which made Zhao Huan's heart feel like swallowing a fly, and he was disgusted.
At this time, Li Yanqing stepped forward and said to Zhao Huan: "Your Royal Highness, Weichen is still the same as the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, just the morning before yesterday, Weichen learned that the Jin soldiers of Yanshan Mansion had changed the news, so he ordered the 30,000 Jingzhao troops stationed in Shaanxi County to rush to the capital to fight against the Jin soldiers, but I was afraid that if the news was revealed, someone would make trouble in advance, so Weichen did not report it for the time being, please forgive me!" ”
Although Li Yanqing's practice is absolutely taboo in normal times, it is a life-saving news at this time, and Zhao Huan's voice trembled in surprise, "Li Fuyin, this.... Is this true? ”
"Wechen didn't dare to hide His Highness, and the official family should also have this idea, so he retained the position of the Tongzhi of Wechen Jingzhao Mansion, so that Wechen could smoothly transfer the Western Army into Beijing."
Zhao Huan was ecstatic at this time, where did he care about Li Yanqing's inappropriateness in some details, just before Li Yanqing arrived, he had just gotten the news that Gao Yu led 30,000 forbidden troops to chase after his father, so that the army in the capital was only 30,000 Xiang Army and 30,000 New Taipei Army, the Xiang Army was not able to be used, and the number of New Taipei Army was too small, plus the 10,000 imperial forbidden troops in the palace were not enough, if Li Yanqing's 30,000 Western Army arrived in time, then there would be hope to hold the capital, how could Zhao Huan not surprise him.
"Your Highness, the top priority is to collect the military power of the army and prevent accidents in the army."
Zhao Huan looked at the gold medal in his hand and handed the gold medal to Li Yanqing, "I will leave this matter to you." ”
"Your Highness, if Tong Guan is still there, I'm afraid that the gold medal alone will not be enough, and they must be cut off."
Of course Zhao Huan understood what Li Yanqing meant, Li Yanqing wanted to kill Tong Guan by himself! It's just that Zhao Huan hesitated slightly, after all, he was an important minister, Li Yanqing looked into Zhao Huan's eyes and said slowly: "Your Highness wants to sit firmly in this position, you can't be merciful!" ”
Zhao Huan's heart was excited, and he said coldly: "Lone knows what to do!" ”
He explained a few words to a henchman guard next to him, and the guard went immediately, and Zhao Huan decided to get rid of Tong Guan, which was a matter of a glass of wine.
At this moment, the guard sentry overhead shouted, "Your Highness, there are a lot of ministers outside!" ”
Zhao Huan glanced at Li Yanqing, Li Yanqing nodded, "Tong Guan is in our hands, and the 30,000 Xiang Army will not make any movement for the time being!" ”
"Open the palace gate!"
As the palace gate slowly opened, hundreds of court officials walked into the East Palace under the leadership of Cai Jing, Cai Jing took the lead in kneeling, and everyone also knelt down together, Cai Jing said loudly: "The first emperor has issued an edict of abdication, and the ministers welcome His Majesty to the throne!" ”
"Welcome to Your Majesty's accession to the throne!"
Zhao Huan nodded, raised the abdication edict in his hand and said loudly: "My father is in poor health and can no longer undertake state affairs, so he entrusts the society to Lone, Lone's talent is meager, and he really can't bear this burden, but now that the enemy is present, Lone can only focus on the overall situation, temporarily ascend the throne to stabilize the overall situation, and when the situation calms down, Lone will definitely present it to his father, and ask his father to set up another emperor!" ”
It stands to reason that Zhao Huan had to push back three times before he reluctantly accepted the throne, but Zhao Huan did not grasp the situation now, there were too many changes outside, and he was afraid of long nights and dreams, so he agreed to ascend the throne with a little modesty.
The ministers were overjoyed, and Cai Jing shouted loudly: "I implore Your Majesty to enter the palace and ascend the throne!" ”
Zhao Huan nodded slightly, "Just follow the public Aiqing!" ”
In December of the sixth year of Xuanhe, Zhao Ji abdicated in the southward of the Jin soldiers, and the crown prince Zhao Huan finally ascended the long-awaited throne.
In order to stabilize the situation, Zhao Ji did not make large-scale adjustments to the hundred officials, but only removed Wang Hao and Cai You from the position of Xiangguo, and changed the title of Longtuge University Scholar, and at the same time named Li Gang and Sun Fu as the left and right servants, governors, and entered the Zhizheng Hall as the minister, and named Li Yanqing as a special entry, signed the Privy Council, and served as the generalissimo of the Tokyo Soldiers and Horses.
..........
At night, by a small river about fifty miles north of the capital, more than 100 soldiers are nervously salvaging the items in the river, the ice on the river surface is broken into a large piece, and the bottom of the river is full of soft mud, so that the river water is not thick, in fact, this is normal, the ice in the Central Plains will not be too thick, and the water of the Yellow River is from the alpine region, itself has a deep cold, once it freezes, it will freeze very thick and solid.
Yan Qing squatted on a big stone, squinting at the things that were gradually coming out of the water, the snow reflected in the moonlight, and she could see it very clearly at night, it was a big box, five feet square, weighing three or four hundred catties.
"It's out! It's out! The soldiers exclaimed.
Yan Qing spit out the grass roots in her mouth, walked over quickly, and picked up a big wooden box from the water, Yan Qing waved her hand, "The first team stays, and the others go around to be vigilant!" ”
The soldiers dispersed one after another, Yan Qing ordered several soldiers to pry open the big wooden box with iron rods, inside was a large iron box, and there was a copper lock on it, Yan Qing knocked off the copper lock, opened the lid of the iron box, and the items inside were densely wrapped by several layers of oilcloth, at this time Yan Qing did not have the patience to peel off the oilcloth, he took out his sword casually, cut a big hole in the oilcloth, and tore it hard, and a golden dazzling light suddenly made everyone unable to open their eyes.
"It's gold!" The crowd exclaimed.
Yan Qing picked up a piece of golden gold, weighing at least ten catties, Yan Qing quickly estimated that there were about thirty pieces in this box, that is, three hundred catties, five thousand taels of gold.
Yan Qing asked a few more water ghosts, "How many big boxes like this are down there?" ”
"General Hui, there are about thirteen shipwrecks below, and each shipwreck has four boxes inside, so it is about fifty boxes."
Of course, it can't all be gold, but there are at least forty chests, which is 200,000 taels of gold! Is this the treasure of Tong Guan? Yan Qing was really a little excited.
At this time, a soldier rushed over, "General Kaiyu, the spies from the Daimyo Mansion have returned, saying that there is urgent information to report." ”
Yan Qing nodded, "Bring him up!" ”
After a while, a soldier was led up, knelt down on one knee and reported: "Commander Qi Yan, the golden soldiers of the Daimyo Mansion are gathering troops, and there are signs of going south!" ”
