Chapter 203: Intrigues
'Get out. You white-eyed wolf. I have made you the prime minister for 20 years, and I was not kind to you before, but you dared to betray me. Song Huizong pointed at Cai Jing's nose and scolded.
After Cai Jing was scolded, he stepped aside. Tong Guan walked over, "Your Majesty, it's not what it used to be, and Cai Xiangye and I don't want to do that. It's just that Your Majesty doesn't need us anymore, so we don't need Your Majesty anymore. There is no such thing as a world to which anyone must be loyal to anyone. All we have is mutual use. ’
Song Huizong pointed at Tong Guan and scolded, "You ......." Why did I trust you in the first place? You're not even as good as a dog. I gave you the title of prince from a eunuch. What a love this is. You have betrayed me, too. The betrayal was even more complete than Cai Jing?
Y'all fuck off. I will not promise you. ’
At this time, there was still a shout of killing outside, and Zhao Gou's dead soldiers and the Imperial Forest Army were still slashing and killing each other. And after the news of this matter spreads, the central forbidden army will come to escort it, and then the entire palace will be surrounded by a large army. Zhao Gou also knew that the situation was critical, and he had to quickly get Song Huizong to issue an edict, so that he could immediately stabilize the situation and achieve the final success of the rebellion.
'Your Majesty, you have to write. Zhao Gou slammed a piece of paper on the table and handed the ink-stained brush to Song Huizong.
Song Huizong sat at the table, motionless. His face was dark, and his gaze avoided Zhao Gou.
'Your Majesty, please hurry up and issue an edict to order the Imperial Forest Army outside to retreat, and then pass it on to me, and you will be the emperor. The court is mine.
Your Majesty, rest assured, as long as you give way to me. I will definitely treat you well. After that, I will work hard to help the people, and I will be able to create a greater prosperity. ’
Song Huizong sneered. 'Huh. What will happen if I don't listen to you? Will you kill me? ’
No matter how benevolent the emperor. In the imperial family, the struggle is always so cold-blooded. Even if the biological father and son say that they will kill them, there is no flesh and blood affection.
They both knew that the other might kill each other for the throne.
'Your Majesty. Please hurry up and write the edict. Zhao Gou did not answer Song Huizong's question. Instead, he commanded directly.
'Huh. I am the emperor, and you have come to order me. Even if I snubbed you before. But what you have done today is intolerable to heaven, and people and gods are angry.
I won't promise you. What if you kill me, I have so many sons. Besides, I have already made a prince, and you have no right to inherit. Whether you can win the throne or not is another story. ’
Although Song Huizong is usually weak, he didn't expect to be tough at a critical moment. After all, he was also a great literati who was deeply influenced by Confucian culture. People who have been educated by Confucianism have some backbone to some extent, and it is normal for him to behave like this when he is still in front of his son.
Zhao Gou couldn't wait, he took the paper. 'Cai Xiangye, you draft the edict, Your Majesty does not write it, we write it ourselves. Then His Majesty can press a handprint. ’
Cai Jing didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly took out a pen and wrote it down with a rustling sound.
Cai Jing is also a great literati, his calligraphy is very good, and he is a tea maker. A beautiful decree was drafted.
Zhao Gou was unfilial, and pulled Song Huizong's fingers. Pressed the red handprint.
'Zhao Gou, you dare to falsely pass on the holy decree. ’
'Your Majesty is offended. I hope Your Majesty will cooperate with me. ’
Outside, the news of Zhao's rebellion spread. The prince hurriedly brought the central forbidden army to come, and at the same time, Zhao Qing, Jia Yi, Gao Yu, and other ministers also followed.
This is such a big deal that no one in the court can stand idly by. The emperor's safety is their safety. After the emperor changes, who they follow and choose to stand in line are the most important things. Moreover, the rescue of the emperor is a great merit, which is easier to promote than doing anything.
When the prince and Gao Yu rushed to the door of King Kang's mansion, they saw Li Yibai.
'King Wu, why are you here. ’
Li Yibai was deliberately anxious and sweating profusely.
In fact, he was not worried about Song Huizong's personal safety, after all, he had superpowers, and it was a matter of minutes to rescue Song Huizong, and he deliberately let Song Huizong fall into hijacking, just to let Song Huizong know who was the important person and who was the person who was good to him. Let him have a lesson.
According to his judgment, Zhao Gou did not dare to kill Song Huizong for a while.
'Prince, Captain Gao. I found a hint of weirdness in Zhao when he rebelled. But the emperor still followed him into the room. So he locked the door of the house. There was another fight in the yard, and I could only wait here in a hurry and find a way here. Good thing you're here. Let's get rid of the thieves in the courtyard first, and then I negotiated with Zhao Gou to let him release the emperor. ’
The prince arched his hand and said, 'I see, give it all to me, and kill the thieves in the courtyard.' ’
The Central Forbidden Army was numerous. They rushed into the yard. No matter how good those dead soldiers are and how not afraid of death. After all, they were defeated by the crowd, and they were killed in a short time.
The prince, Li Yibai, and Gao Yu walked to the door.
Li Yibai shouted, 'Zhao Gou, a rebellious minister and thief, you hurry up and release the emperor." Otherwise, we will break into the house and take your dog's life." ’
Zhao Gou heard that there was no fighting outside, and he also knew that it was a critical moment now.
The people outside listened to me. I don't care who you are. Now Your Majesty has decreed that you all retreat outside the Imperial City. It is forbidden to attack King Kang's Mansion again.
His Majesty issued a decree to give way to King Kang. He retired to the emperor. The major affairs of the court and government were entrusted to King Kang.
King Kang changed his name to Xin'an and granted amnesty to the world.
You will be innocent when you step down, and you will be rewarded when you ascend the throne. If you blindly resist, it will be regarded as rebellion. ’
Li Yibai didn't pay attention to him at all, and shot back directly, "I'm sorry." You hurry up and release the emperor. The emperor will not promise you. This is all wishful thinking on your part. ’
'Woooooooooo At this time, Song Huizong's mouth was sealed, and he wanted to say something that he couldn't speak.
Zhao Gou couldn't let him speak. Later, he will be forced by more violent means. Now his life and death are at stake, either you die or I live.
In order to live, it is possible that he really killed Song Huizong.
'Li Yibai, you don't believe it, do you? This is the decree of God, and I exhort you to know each other. If you give up resistance, I can take your life. ’
As he spoke, Zhao Gou handed the false holy decree out of the crack in the door.
Everyone on the scene was shocked.
Li Yibai pulled out the holy decree, and the prince and Gao Yu hurriedly came over to take a look.
'There are only handprints, this is what kind of holy decree, it is obviously forged by Zhao Gou. ’
The prince pulled the holy decree and tore it up in three or two strokes. King Wu was right. Zhao Gou is really too despicable. We set fire to this house, and we didn't believe that Zhao Gou couldn't open the door. ’
'Burned down the house. Li Yibai's heart tightened, he knew that the prince wanted to be the emperor and wanted to go crazy. Wouldn't this burn the house burn Song Huizong to death?
As soon as Song Huizong and Zhao Gou died, he was the emperor.
The royal people are really cold-blooded in order to compete for power.
'Prince. This is absolutely unacceptable. This will hurt Your Majesty. ’
Gao Yu also agreed, 'Yes. This is absolutely unacceptable. ’
The prince was unreasonable, so he had to give up this plan for the time being.
But he still wanted to provoke Zhao to kill Song Huizong. At this moment he is the most proudly relaxed. No matter who Zhao Gou or Song Huizong died, it would be good for him.
"Zhao Gou, listen to me. You disobedient minister, I will surely slay you to pulp. Surrender as soon as possible, or I'll clean up your house. ’
Zhao Gou shouted inside, 'Your Majesty's holy decree, I have already given it. You will not retreat. ’
The prince laughed, "What kind of bullshit holy decree of yours, that false holy decree has long been torn up by me." All you have to do now is disarm and surrender. You can't ask for anything. ’
'Damn,' Zhao Gou furiously inside.
Cai Jing and Tong Guan were also anxious.
Especially Tong Guan, he said directly to Zhao Gou, "King Kang, you have to use some ruthless moves." You can't do it like this anymore. Our lives are in your hands. ’
Cai Jing also said, 'Yes. King Kang, Your Majesty is still in our hands. This is our biggest trump card. As long as we can get His Majesty to give the order, they will retreat after all. Your Majesty is the emperor, who dares not to listen to his words. ’
With a 'brush' sound, Zhao Gou drew the sword in his hand.
The sword was cold and shining, and it was extremely sharp.
He pointed his sword at Song Gaozong.
'Your Majesty, I am offended. Today is either you dead or I live. You have to make an order. Hurry up and order them all to retreat. ’
Although Song Huizong had the backbone to say something just now that he was not afraid of death, but now that Zhao Gou was serious, he also had some fear. His forehead began to sweat.
Zhao Gou tore off the strip of cloth that sealed his mouth. 'Your Majesty, if you don't want to suffer from flesh and skin, make them stand down.' Then give me the Zen position. ’
You ....... Song Huizong didn't know what to say. promised him, wouldn't the throne he had so hard get be gone.
The feeling of being an emperor can only be more experienced after becoming an emperor. No one is willing to get out of the way.
'King Kang, you can't hesitate. The prince outside is waiting to destroy us. He doesn't care whether the emperor lives or dies. Now it is Li Yibai and Gao Yu who are here. He couldn't put it down, so he hesitated. In case it's been a long time. The prince said that they had the merit of supporting, and Li Yibai and Gao Yu also listened. Then we will only have to die a terrible death. That's bad. ’
Cai Jing was almost about to cry.
Cai Jing is really cunning and far-sighted, and he is right. At this time, the crown prince was also outside and began to preach the benefits of supporting him.
The prince said to Gao Yu and Li Yibai,
'Taiwei, King Wu. If the emperor has any mistakes, you will support me as the Son of Heaven. I will not do you any wrong. You all have the merit to stand up. ’
Li Yibai smiled in his heart, "This prince is really anxious." He wants to be on time for himself, and it doesn't matter if the emperor dies. In the future, I will mix with him, and I will eat and drink spicy food just as well.
However, he is already the king of Wu and has sealed Jiuxi. This is already a very human minister. Follow him, how can I rise, can I sit on the throne. Of course this is not possible.
Besides, the prince is so anxious that he doesn't have any family affection. This character is far worse than Song Huizong. What kind of wolf ambition will be in the future, who knows. If you support him, you might as well support Song Huizong. (To be continued......)
