Chapter 700: Enthronement Ceremony

readx;

At dawn, Gao Taotao had already gotten up and was busy, in fact, she had only slept two hours ago. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Even if you are lying on the couch, where can you sleep soundly?

She knew that this was overdrawing her body and her life, but she still had to persevere.

The situation in Bianjing City was very bad, and the sudden death of 37 cronies directly reduced the efficiency and situation of the work.

Most of the officials have been passive and have disappeared, apparently on the sidelines. No, at this time, it should be said that he was waiting, waiting to hug King Qin's thigh.

The people in the city were already panicking, and Gao Taotao knew very well through the few eyes and ears that were left, and she didn't know how long Bianjing could hold out, and she didn't dare to think about it.

One day is a day, there is no better way anyway, maybe waiting for a turnaround.

For example, the Khitan suddenly went south to the Yellow River, or Zhao Zhao died suddenly, or he took the initiative or was forced to bow down......

Gao Tao clinged to the last hope, she was busy. The son died, and the funeral needs to be organized, and now it is difficult to get out of the city, and Emperor Shenzong of the Great Song Dynasty can only enter the funeral first and worship the Zi Palace. As for the custom of burial in July of the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that it is too late, and it is impossible to send someone to Yong'an to repair the mausoleum at this time.

The affairs of the dead can not be rushed, but the affairs of the living must be taken care of, and the country cannot be without a king for a day. The son died, and the edict was to let the sixth prince Zhao Xu succeed to the throne, so he should support his grandson to ascend the throne.

Gao Taotao's busiest thing in the past two days is to prepare for the enthronement ceremony, as long as he sits on the dragon chair, his grandson is the veritable emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and the status of the monarch and minister will be decided.

Even if...... Even if one day Zhao Zhao led a large army into the city. He is also a rebel and thief. At all costs. His grandson will leave a record in the history books. Zhao Zhao seized his grandson's throne with his grandfather's seniority. His evil deeds will shine in the annals of history, even if he can influence the records of historians, he can't cover up all the clues, let alone block the mouth of the whole world.

Maybe...... Maybe that's a win!

The etiquette in the palace has been prepared, and the chamberlains and palace ladies are still dedicated, but they are only officials of the Ministry of Rites......

Gao Taotao had to face the fact that the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, the two yamen related to etiquette, had been completely paralyzed.

Zhang Zongyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Chongyi Gong Chai Yong have long been gone. Like them, there are too many people who are close to Zhao Zhao.

Anyway, Gao Taotao didn't care about them anymore.

The only thing I am worried about is that there are too few people at today's enthronement ceremony, and the scene will be too cold and embarrassing.

"Go, let Di Yong go door to door to spread the decree, but all officials above the fifth rank in Beijing must attend the enthronement hall." Gao Taotao was very helpless, and even had to use force. to maintain a minimum of decency.

"Yes!" The chamberlain took the order and left, but after a while he hurried back. One ran and shouted. Maybe he was too anxious, and he stammered for a while, but he couldn't say it clearly.

A bad premonition surged in Gao Taotao's heart, and he asked in a deep voice, "What happened?" Speak slowly! ā€

"Queen Mother...... Qin ...... King Qin...... The army has entered the city! ā€

The words of the waiter seemed to have the effect of breaking the earth, which immediately caused an uproar, and Gao Tao was a little stunned for a moment, and an indescribable surprise surged in his heart. At this moment, she couldn't even forget her horror, she couldn't tell what kind of mood she was in.

For a moment, the whole person seemed to be stupid, and after a moment of stunned, Gao Tao said in a deep voice: "Go find Guo Kui and Di Yong......"

"Queen Mother, you don't have to look for it, it's useless...... "I heard that General Di and General Guo have surrendered to the King of Qin, and they are the ones who let the Western Army into the city." ā€

Are you sure?

Guo Kui is not surprising, Gao Tao is on guard against him, but Di Yong ...... How ungrateful is he?

Gao Tao couldn't believe it, but if Di Yong didn't move, would Guo Kui dare to do it easily? Could it be ......

Holding on to the last bit of luck, Gao Taotao immediately sent his henchmen to investigate, and the results were the same.

Di Yong is really the opposite!

Why? Gao Tao muttered to herself, she finally realized what it means to rebel and leave.

There is no abuse, no resentment, it is useless to say anything, Gao Tao is decadent to the extreme, and he seems to be dozens of years old in an instant.

Her biggest regret now is that her grandson has not yet ascended the throne, so she can't do it...... A final effort must be made.

"Go to Qingshou Palace and invite the Empress Dowager and the eldest princess!" Gao Tao coldly issued an edict, the pronunciation of the word "please" was extremely heavy, and the guards understood how to implement it.

Gao Taotao sat in front of the main hall and waited silently, she couldn't take care of it much at the moment, anyway, King Qin had already entered the city. There was no politeness or scruples to speak of, and even the last trace of affection for my aunt in my heart disappeared. At this point, she plans to be a woman who doesn't recognize her six relatives.

However, the result disappointed her again. The chamberlain came back to report that there was no longer the Empress Dowager and the eldest princess in Qingshou Palace, and even Concubine Miao was missing.

Half an hour ago, Xiao Hai, the original chamberlain of the Vertical Arch Palace, went to falsely pass the message to the Empress Yizhi, took away the three nobles, and then disappeared.

Gao Tao was completely speechless, it turned out that there were eyes and ears planted by others around him, and he didn't notice it until now.

Look, people are doing it step by step, it's a last resort!

In an instant, she lost the last one, two, which should have been three trump cards.

I originally thought that as long as there were these three cards, I could deal with Zhao Zhao to some extent, and at least I could keep the least peace.

But now, there is nothing left, and it is completely at the point of being slaughtered by others.

Without Cao and Zhao Fukang, what to threaten Zhao Zhao? Without Di Yong, who will make the last resistance for her? Sun Tzu has not yet ascended the throne, what to exchange with Zhao Zhao?

Empress Dowager Gao, who has a high status and is confident and powerful, is finally still a little uneasy, and she begins to have fear in her heart.

……

……

Zhao Zhao entered the city, and without an inspiring battle, he entered Bianjing City without bloodshed.

The situation has made many officials and generals have ideas, especially the chief general Guo Kui. His faith had long since loosened. There are plans to surrender to King Qin.

In his capacity. After surrendering, King Qin will not be treated badly. It's just that the only thing to worry about is Di Yong, and with him, many of his actions will be restricted.

Guo Kui didn't dare to act rashly, and didn't start acting until someone brought the news that Di Yong had promised to surrender.

Di Yong was persuaded by his father Di Qing to drink it and finally made a decision.

So far. There can only be a choice, and there is also a waiver.

He chose righteousness, chose the love of father and son, gave up narrow affection and foolish loyalty, but fortunately did not lose the love of husband and wife.

Zhao Zhao accepted Guo Kui and Di Yong's surrender, but for the sake of safety, he did not enter the city as soon as possible.

The more critical the moment, the more careful you must be, you must be careful of this kind of thing, Zhao Zhao doesn't want the river to cross thousands and capsize in the gutter.

So, Zhao Zhao sent his close general Shi Jianfei to lead the army into the city. First of all, it is necessary to take over Bianjing City.

Shi Jianfei is not very old, and he is about the same as Zhao Zhao. He is a native of Qinfeng Road, and moved to Chang'an with his father when he was a child. When he was a child, he received a good enlightenment education, and he was admitted to the Jinshi to be the champion outside the Donghua Gate, which was Shi Jianfei's greatest wish.

It's a pity that providence makes people, and after being admitted to Xiucai at the age of seventeen, his family suddenly suffered an accident. His father failed in business, and the family suddenly fell into decline.

Shi Jianfei's path to study for the imperial examination was blocked, and in desperation, he chose the same path as most of the Guanlong men and joined the Western Army.

Soldiers who have read books are not ordinary, they have farther, and once they have the opportunity, they will be easier to get ahead. In the past few years, Shi Jianfei had already reached the level of Zhaowu Lieutenant, and later performed exceptionally well in several battles of the Western Army against Western Xia and made great achievements.

If it was just meritorious, Zhao Zhao would only reward it, and he would not take it so seriously.

The key lies in Shi Jianfei's many insights in military affairs, and he can make wolf judgments and find the most appropriate tactics according to the characteristics and situation of the enemy.

For example, on the issue of dealing with the Liao State and the Western Xia, Shi Jianfei clearly pointed out that the strategies and tactics of fighting against the two countries were slightly different. The Western Army was good at mountain warfare, but not at plain warfare. If the Western Army is transferred over to deal with the invading Khitans, the effect will not be particularly good.

Zhao Zhao greatly appreciated that in the original history, the reason why the Western Army was finished. When the Jin soldiers invaded the south, Song Huizong hurriedly summoned the seed master to mobilize the western army to block it. As a result, not only did it not stop the Jin soldiers from moving south, but also completely damaged the officers and men of the Western Army, which is really a pity.

It is rare for a young general to have such an insight. Therefore, I stayed by my side and focused on cultivating. Most of the generals around him couldn't get out of the way because of the expedition to Hexi or the defense of the northwest, so Shi Jianfei stood out and became the general of the Chinese army who attacked Bianjing this time.

Judging from the current situation, Shi Jianfei performed very well, and only after confirming that he was in full control of Bianjing and safe and sound did he invite Zhao Zhao, the king of Qin, to enter the city.

Their goal is directly to the Imperial Palace, which is the center of the world, and major events can only be determined there.

Once the Western Army entered the city, it was impossible for the small palace walls to stop them.

Seeing the familiar city and the familiar palace again, Zhao Zhao was a little unfamiliar, and at the same time vaguely excited.

Years of dreams have finally come true, and the excitement is self-evident. It's just that before the big thing is decided, he must maintain a minimum of reserve.

When I entered the palace, I found that the decorations everywhere were extraordinarily grand, the atmosphere was very festive, and it seemed that the scene was not small.

Enthronement Ceremony!

Soon Zhao Zhao learned the purpose of Gao Taotao's arrangement, she wanted to support the young Zhao Xu to ascend the throne as emperor.

It's just that I didn't choose a good day, and I was ended by myself!

But maybe it's also a good thing, Zhao Zhao looked at Gao Tao, who was sitting on the ground, and said coldly: "The enthronement ceremony is so properly prepared, it really saves a lot of trouble, thank you." It is better to choose a day than to hit the day, in this case, immediately summon hundreds of officials into the palace, and this king will directly hold an enthronement ceremony today.
