Yi Zheng Juzhong held a military information document that was not very long, and ran towards the palace city with his footsteps, his expression was flustered, he stumbled several times, and almost fell to the ground, and the horror in his heart was all on his expression.

The guards guarding Miyagi did not step forward to stop them, but just looked at the Privy Council official with a puzzled expression.

At the entrance of Genyue in the Northeast, "Gen" is in the Zhou Yi, which is the name of the hexagram and the hexagram of the Northeast. Yue is the mountain, and the name of Gen Yue is the mountain in the northeast.

The eunuch guarding the entrance saw Zheng Juzhong rushing towards him, and hurriedly stepped forward to intercept him. But Zheng Ju Center was in a hurry, pushed it away, and shouted: "It's about the country, quickly show the way to find the official's house." ”

The eunuchs on the left and right hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, but they only chased after them, and after chasing for a while, one of the eunuchs said, "Your Majesty is in the Xiaoxiao Tower." Zheng Shumi, don't worry, I'll help you pass it on. ”

Zheng Juzhong waited for the eunuch to pass the message, and rushed to the Qianxiao Tower, and the few little eunuchs who followed behind him didn't dare to really step forward to drag Zheng Juzhong, so they had to follow all the way.

There are many steps in the tower, and Zheng Juzhong is already climbing up with both hands and feet. The mouth is still shouting: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something is wrong!" ”

Zhao Ji was in the building, and a woman in front of him was rising into the air, dancing left and right with water sleeves in both hands, with extremely superb skills, and musicians accompanied by musicians on the left and right.

Hearing the shouting outside the building, Zhao Ji frowned slightly, and said, "Mrs. Yingguo is dancing, who dares to shout outside?" ”

Mrs. Yingguo is naturally a sleeve, and now Zhao Ji is more and more unconcerned about many things, and the front of the head is sealed as Mrs. Yingguo, which makes people talk about it, although a sleeve has not really entered the harem, but it is often called by Zhao Ji and enters the palace to relieve boredom with Zhao Ji.

A eunuch looked up at the window and replied, "Your Majesty, it's Zheng Juzhong, a member of the Privy Council, who is going upstairs. ”

The officials in the Privy Council, the Privy Counsellor of the First Rank are the chief officials. There are also Privy Council matters below, Privy Council matters are also known to be Privy Council affairs, and Privy Council matters are signed, all of which are positive and second-grade. Then there are four and five products.

Tong Guan is the envoy of the Privy Council, and Zheng Juzhong, the member of the Privy Council, is obviously the chief official under Tong Guan.

Originally, Zhao Ji was expected to be angry, but he heard Zheng Juzhong shouting, endured it, and said, "Let's see what big things he has." ”

The meaning of Zhao Ji's words is that if Zheng Juzhong comes to disturb him if he doesn't have a big matter, he will inevitably be reprimanded.

Hearing this, Yisleeve also stopped dancing and slowly stepped aside. Naturally, the musicians on the left and right also stopped playing.

Zheng Juzhong entered the hall, walked quickly to the front, knelt directly on the ground, panting heavily, presented the document with both hands, and said breathlessly: "Please Your Majesty hurry up." ”

Zhao Ji took the paperwork and felt that the paper was very wet, obviously the sweat in Zheng Juzhong's hands wet the paper.

When Zhao Ji unfolded it and looked at it for a moment, between his hands shaking, the paper fell directly from his hands to the ground, his face turned pale instantly, and his mouth trembled and said: "More than 100,000 troops, if you say defeated, you will be defeated, but you haven't even stopped Puyang... How should this be good, how should this be good? ”

Zheng Juzhong hurriedly said when he heard this: "Your Majesty must not mess up the square inch, the anti-thief army is strong, there are hundreds of thousands, and if you cross Puyang, you will besiege Tokyo." Your Majesty should quickly issue a holy decree and spread the text to the world, summon soldiers and horses from all walks of life into the king of Jingqin, and exterminate the rebels. ”

Zhao Ji is obviously just as Zheng Juzhong said, and he has lost his square inch. More than 100,000 Tokyo forbidden troops were wiped out, and Cai Jingjing was on the way back to Beijing, and Qin Hui was already dead. Zheng Zhi will not be able to besiege Tokyo soon, and the scene that Zhao Ji is worried about day and night seems to be right in front of him.

In this huge city of Tokyo, how many soldiers are available, wouldn't it fall into the hands of the thieves in the blink of an eye. It was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which shocked Zhao Ji in fear.

"It's extreme, it's extreme, quickly take pen and ink, gather the world's soldiers and horses to enter the king of Jingqin, and you must keep Bianliang." Zhao Ji's words were flustered, and the person also stood up, already looking for pen, ink, paper, and inkstone left and right.

Zheng Juzhong hurriedly stepped forward to help, spread out the rice paper on the table not far away, and said: "Taishi Cai and Taishi Tong are both on the way back, there should only be more than a hundred miles of land, and they will be able to reach Tokyo in the middle of the night today." If the two Taishi want to be resourceful, His Majesty can ask the two of them for advice, and he will definitely be able to ensure that Tokyo is worry-free. ”

Zheng Ju was also extremely flustered in the center, Zheng Zhi's army was only two hundred miles away from Tokyo, and he already knew in his heart that the matter was serious, but he was still speaking to comfort Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji took a pen and wrote a good handwriting, and it was the first time he wrote so crookedly, but he scolded in his mouth: "Cai Jing is incompetent, and the army of more than 100,000 people was defeated like this, which affected the suffering of the country, which is hateful and hateful." Tong Guan, a dog who is blind, does not know people, and reuses wolf ambitions, which is even more hateful. The Great Song Dynasty has been around for more than 100 years, and is about to be robbed. ”

Zheng Juzhong replied while grinding ink: "The two Taishi want to be calm, their ability is extraordinary, the defeat of this battle, maybe there is an internal situation, Your Majesty don't worry, Zheng Zhi is a thief with internal troubles, not popular with the people, thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in the Great Song Dynasty, how can it be resisted by the thief, as soon as Your Majesty's will comes out, there will be millions of armor in the whole country, which is the end of the thief." ”

It is so difficult to be a courtier. It is necessary to grovel and be kind and coaxing. Such a son of heaven is like a child with great authority, and everyone subconsciously holds candy around him in order to serve such a child well.

When Zhao Ji heard this, his mentality really improved a lot, and his handwriting gradually corrected. But he also reacted, and asked worriedly, "How many miles are the thieves from Tokyo?"

"The thieves have entered Puyang, two hundred miles away from Tokyo." Zheng Juzhong replied.

"Two hundred miles? Two hundred miles? How is it that there are only 200 miles of land? How is this good, how is this good, near Gyeonggi, where is there a strong army, quickly transfer to Tokyo. Zhao Ji, whose mentality had just stabilized, was at a loss at this time, and the pen in his hand could not fall on the paper.

The eunuchs and palace maids on the left and right all looked frightened, and even their sleeves were frightened. In recent days, I have heard a lot about Zheng Zhi, and I am mostly worried about Zheng Zhi, afraid that Zheng Zhi will suffer a catastrophe. Where did he think that in the blink of an eye, Zheng Zhi was about to come to Tokyo City, but the gentle and elegant Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty in front of him was so frightened that he was at a loss and his words were out of measure.

"Your Majesty, the minister will immediately go to the Privy Council to find out, and mobilize all the soldiers and horses around Gyeonggi to come to support." Zheng Juzhong opened his mouth and said, saying that he was going back to find out, but it was also an excuse. Where are there any generals who still need to find this kind of thing?

Zhao Ji only said when he heard this: "Go and find out, I'm waiting for your news." ”

Both of them knew that there were no soldiers in Tokyo, except for the guards on duty in the Imperial City, there were some yacha and the like. The troops of Tokyo have long been mobilized.

When Zheng Juzhong heard this, he put down his pen and ink and went straight out. A eunuch hurriedly stepped forward to continue grinding ink, and Zhao You began to write again, and said again: "Quickly go and summon the Chinese Wudu to the court." ”

The ink grinding eunuch hurriedly put down the ink again and walked out quickly with a few people.

This scene may have happened in history, but it was just in advance. When the Jin people went south to Bianliang, Zhao Ji probably reacted like this.

Not long after, above the court, the various yamen officials who had just retreated from the court gathered back. Everyone also knew how much the matter was, that is, those who had not had time to hear about it, and at this time they also knew the news when they entered the main hall.

The whole hall was chaotic and noisy, and there were sighs everywhere, and everyone was surprised. Everyone gathered around, some people scolded more than once, words such as wolf ambition came and went, and the heavens and the earth were destroyed.

But it is impossible for people to really be destroyed by heaven and earth. These swearing voices are obviously in vain.

There are also people who are really thinking about how to deal with it, how to mobilize troops and so on, how to unite the millions of people in Tokyo, and how to block the anti-thieves.

Zhao Ji wrote the document on the suppression of thieves, arranged for the eunuch to send it to the Zhongshu Province, and heard the report that all the military officials in the hall had arrived, so he hurriedly rushed to the main hall.

The noisy hall suddenly quieted down, Zhao Ji sat on the dragon chair, with a sad face, this is also the first time Zhao Ji has felt huge pressure since he ascended the throne, and no one can help him stop this pressure, and it is directly pressed on Zhao Ji.

"The anti-thief army is coming, and there are no soldiers to defend in Gyeonggi, do you have any countermeasures?" Zhao Ji asked.

As soon as Zhao Ji's words came out, there were countless voices buzzing under the court. Zhao Ji didn't stop it, but just looked at the civil and military officials with an eager face.

Fan Zhixu stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, if the millions of people in Bianliang City unite to resist the rebels, the rebels will definitely not be able to break the city. Drag on for two months, and when the army of King Qin arrives from all over the country, he will definitely be able to destroy the thieves in one fell swoop. ”

When Zhao Ji heard this, he stood up and asked, "What if you can't stop Zheng Zhi?" Zheng Zhi has been in the battle formation for a long time, can break the Western Xia, and can break the Liao State. If this beam is also broken, what should it be? ”

Zhao Ji's sense of worry is not bad, that is, he attaches great importance to his own safety. In a word, the princes of the Manchu Dynasty were speechless, and they all looked at each other.

But one of them came out and said, "Your Majesty, in order to ensure the safety of the society, please also ask Your Majesty to go south for a while, and wait until the war in Tokyo is over, and then ask Your Majesty to return to Tokyo." In this way, it can ensure that the country is in an invincible position. ”

The person who spoke was Wu Min, a scholar from the Middle School.

When Zhao Ji heard this, he was overjoyed. I only think that this strategy is good, at least I can save my life and the stability of the Great Song Dynasty. But I feel that this method is a little inappropriate, the thief is coming, but the king of a country is running away, which is really unreasonable.

When Zhao Ji was still hesitating, Fan Zhixu opened his mouth and said: "This plan is not appropriate, how can the king of a country abandon the people of Beijing to hide in times of crisis." With such a million people in Bianliang, the hearts of the people will inevitably be scattered, how can they resist the enemy? ”

Wu Min heard this and said: "Fan Xianggong, this is a safe method, how can you let the Son of Heaven stand under the dangerous wall." Now, although the thieves seem to be powerful, they are only small internal troubles, and there are so many soldiers and horses in the world that when they gather, they will inevitably be destroyed with one blow. This time, wouldn't it be the safest way for Your Majesty to avoid its edge for the time being, and then lead the army back to the rescue? If you have to talk about the hearts of the Bianliang army and the people, you can also let Your Majesty pass on the throne to the prince first, so that the prince ascends the throne in Tokyo and sticks to the city, which will definitely stabilize the hearts of the military and the people in the capital. When His Majesty leads the world's soldiers and horses to come back, he can exterminate the thieves. How wonderful it is to kill two birds with one stone and ensure the stability of the imperial court. ”

After all, someone still came up with such a plan. Zhao Ji was also a little moved, but he also knew that this method was an expedient method in the end, and it was obviously not easy to do.

Fan Zhixu heard this and said: "Ridiculous, how can a country have two kings, it is extremely absurd." ”

Wu Min also said: "It is actually an expedient policy to secure the people and protect the country, which can make the military and people in Tokyo work together, and also protect the safety of Your Majesty." In extraordinary times, of course, extraordinary measures must be taken. What a ridiculous statement. The prince has always been cautious in his duty, filial piety and loyalty. It is his blessing to be able to contribute to the society of the country, so why is it ridiculous? ”

Zhao Ji was a lot calmer at this time, and the method that Wu Min said that he had already recognized in his heart had such a last and safe way, which also made Zhao Ji feel a lot more at ease, and only said: "This matter will be discussed here, and we will talk about it tomorrow." ”

After speaking, Zhao Ji had already gotten up, and he didn't want to discuss it in detail. Let's talk about it tomorrow, in fact, I will wait for Cai Jing to come back and ask if it is really possible for this Tokyo to be broken by Zheng Zhi. If there is really such a possibility, then Zhao Ji has no choice.

It is impossible to say that there are two monarchs in the country. Zhao Ji first became the emperor, and then solved this problem, which is not impossible. When Zhao Ji leads the army back to save Tokyo and restore the throne, it will naturally not be difficult.

This is how the court discussion dispersed, and the officials of all sides went back to their respective yamen. It has reached the time of 100,000 urgency, and many people seem to have to think about one or two for themselves, and the children in the family and the like, if they can justifiably arrange one or two to go first, they will naturally go first. Some things are not afraid of 10,000, just in case, in case this city is really broken by thieves, there must always be a way back.

Cai Jing and Tong Guan finally arrived in Tokyo at almost dawn. On the contrary, after Zheng Zhi entered Puyang, he was unhurried and did not hurry to Tokyo.

Cai Jing and Tong Guan entered Tokyo City and were taken directly to Miyagi by the eunuchs waiting at the city gate.

Zhao Ji didn't sleep all night, just waiting in the imperial study.

Cai Jing walked in, bowed down, wept bitterly, and said nothing. It's crying heartbreakingly, crying heartbreakingly.

Tong Guan also bowed to the ground, but he couldn't cry as much as Cai Jing, and only said: "The minister's death penalty, the minister's capital crime!" ”

Zhao Ji looked at the two kneeling down in front of him, both of them looked like dusty servants, that is, Cai Jing still had scars on his face, and he was about to scold, but he didn't say it, but he hurriedly asked: "I ask you two, can this Tokyo City be contained?" ”

Cai Jing was still crying bitterly, just thinking about waiting for Tong Guan to answer this first. I also know in my heart that it is not appropriate to speak more at this time, and the only way to do this is to cry bitterly.

Sure enough, when Tong Guan heard this, he thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, most of the soldiers under Zheng Zhi's command are tigers and wolves, and they are all very brave and brave when they fight against the Liao State of Western Xia. If you look at the military affairs alone, Bianliang is in danger. ”

Cai Jing heard Tong Guan's words, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, what Master Tong said is true, the soldiers under the command of Zheng Zhi are fighting, brave and inappropriate, and the defeat of the ministers is only defeated by the Tokyo soldiers who are greedy for life and afraid of death." ”

When Zhao Ji heard this, he was furious, and shouted in his mouth: "Good two important ministers and good ministers, good two great Song Taishi." The prosperous land of millions of Bianliang is buried in the hands of the two of you. Tong Guan, you gelding, what other faces do you have to come back to see me. Tonight thou shalt go up to the head of the city to defend thyself against the enemy, and thou shalt be faithful to thy kingdom. If the city is broken, you will die on the top of the city. ”

When Tong Guan heard this, he bowed down without joy or sorrow, and shouted in his mouth: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" ”

Cai Jing heard that Zhao Ji had disposed of Tong Guan, and he was shocked, and hurriedly bowed down and waited for the thunder.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ji opened his mouth and said: "Cai Jing, you will be in charge of Tokyo's defenses, and you will definitely defend Bianliang City." ”

Cai Jing was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed again: "If the minister dies, he will definitely defend the city." ”

Zhao Ji said again: "Tomorrow, with the crown prince ascending the throne, I want to go south to burn incense and pray for the country, pray for God's protection, and calm the thieves." ”

The two were shocked when they heard this, and couldn't help but look up at Zhao Ji.

But Cai Jing reacted the fastest, and only said: "Such a good strategy, the crown prince ascends the throne to defend the city, and His Majesty gathers the army of the king to help." Such a two-pronged approach can ensure that the community is worry-free. ”

Tong Guan did not express his opinion, but bowed down again.
