Chapter 360: The Finale

Previous Chapter

In the blink of an eye, autumn is quietly approaching its end.

The farmers of the Great Song Dynasty have finally harvested all the grain crops, this year is a bumper harvest year, if it is not for the current confrontation between the north and the south of the Great Song Dynasty, everyone will be very happy.

It is precisely because of the antagonism between the north and the south that even if the people have harvested a bumper harvest of grain, they are a little worried in their hearts.

The so-called prosperity of the people suffers, and the death of the people suffers, which is said to be in this truth.

Zhending Mansion Guogong Mansion, Zhao Gu dressed up in a new way, entertained all the generals and officials who came, and asked people to bring in a map, a map of the entire territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

Looking at the map, Zhao Gu said: "Everyone, Zhao Guangyi has soldiers and no food in his hands, and the reason why he has not done it is just because he wants to wait until after the autumn harvest. Now that the people have harvested in autumn, when the soldiers are strong and strong, I intend to send troops to Kaifeng, cut off Zhao Guangyi's head, and break it to see what is inside, what do you think? ”

"We've been waiting impatiently."

"Soldiers will be sent to Kaifeng as soon as possible, and you can celebrate the New Year with peace of mind this year!"

“……”

Wan Shi saw that the soldiers were united, and immediately ordered: "Okay, then I will wait for the soldiers to send Kaifeng, all the way over, this year's Spring Festival, I will accompany you in Kaifeng City not drunk and do not return!" ”

"Grandpa Xie Guo!"

At the moment, the Liao cavalry went first, and Zhang Mao took all the remaining Song troops and newly recruited soldiers with a total of 200,000, followed closely behind, and the two armies echoed back and forth, and went straight to Kaifeng City.

At the same time, Cheshire's army also began to attack the Kawaksa Road.

In the territory of Western Xia, Xia Weibing's 100,000 army and Li Jiqian's 60,000 army also waited for the day, and under the supervision of Li Danran's 50,000 army, they began to march towards the northwest border of the Great Song Dynasty.

Three days later, the battle reports from all over the country were sent to Kaifeng City, and Zhao Guangyi on the dragon chair was so shocked that he couldn't sit still.

The entire 500,000 army invaded the Great Song Dynasty in six ways, and Zhao Guangyi was worried about what to do for a while, not only worried about the lack of troops, but also worried about the unscrupulous general commander.

Cao Bin, Pan Mei, Hu Yanzan and other veterans are majestic, but they are all former descendants of the Later Zhou Dynasty, Zhao Guangyi is afraid that they will defect, that is, Yang Yanzhao and Yang Lie can still play a big role, but Yang Yanzhao and Zhao Gu are also considered to know each other, and they once went on the Northern Expedition together, and Zhao Guangyi was not very relieved about him.

Just when Zhao Guangyi was still suspicious of his courtiers to this day, there were reports from six state capitals, saying that the seven state capitals near these six state capitals had all raised the banner of rebellion against the imperial court and supported Zhao Gu.

Obviously, this is Zhao Pu's lineage beginning to show its minions.

There are also officials who come to report that in the literary circles and cultural forests of the major state capitals of the people, there are constantly scholars who are publicizing Zhao Guangyi's various evil deeds, which has led to the centripetal force of the people towards the imperial court getting worse and worse, and many family members of the fallen soldiers who have been killed by Mi Dechao have begun to gather in groups to besiege the local government.

After hearing this lot of news in a row, Zhao Guangyi had a headache to death, and the imperial doctor hurriedly stepped forward to rectify it, and after a long time, he turned around slightly.

"What about the fugitives from the Zhuozhou Commercial Bank? There are more than 100,000 of these people, lurking all over the place, and the harm is not small! ”

Mu Gong came out and replied: "These people have not stopped these days, they are constantly contacting rich businessmen in various places, promising various benefits, so that many rich businessmen have thrown themselves into their camp. ”

"It's the other way around, it's all the other way around!" Zhao Guangyi kept rubbing his head and muttered in his mouth.

"Your Majesty, it is still important to resist Zhao Gu's army at the moment, and all other parties are required by him to march, once he is defeated, there may be a chance to turn around." Mu Gong spoke again.

"That's all there is to it." Zhao Guangyi raised his head, looked and looked between Yang Yanzhao and Yang Lie, and finally said: "Yang Lie is the generalissimo of the demons, crowned the Duke of Wuguo, and led 300,000 troops to block the army of Zhao Gu." ”

"Yes." Yang Lie took the order and left, expressionless from beginning to end.

Many civil officials shook their heads when they heard this, the reason why Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Gu had a conflict at the beginning was not because Zhao Guangyi's reward was unknown and he was afraid of Zhao Gu? It's good now, he grabbed and grabbed it at the beginning, and he was reluctant to give Zhao Gu the position of the prince of the country, and he was given away so easily.

If you know today, why bother in the first place!

However, things turned out to be much more than everyone expected.

Just after Yang Lie led an army of 300,000 to block Zhao Gu, the two armies didn't even have time to fight at all, Zhao Gu just talked to Yang Lie, and Yang Lie immediately defected to Zhao Gu with an army of 300,000.

In an instant, the Great Song court lost 300,000 troops, while Zhao Gu's side gained 300,000 troops out of thin air, and the strength increased to 800,000.

After Zhao Guangyi learned the news, he vomited blood three times in anger, and quickly asked people to check, only to learn that when Wang Xiaobo rebelled, the reason why Yang Lie was able to resist Wang Xiaobo's army and make many military exploits was because of Zhao Gu's help and guidance.

Upon learning of this, Zhao Guangyi overturned the Long case and quickly ordered the arrest of Lu Yiping, who was fighting the bandits with Yang Lie, but was informed that Lu Yiping had already retired in advance, and his house was already empty.

On the 10th, the army of the Third Route of Western Xia had already occupied the Third Road of the Great Song Dynasty, Cheshire had also taken the Second Road of Sichuan Gorge, and Zhao Gu was even more overwhelmed and was about to arrive at Kaifeng Mansion.

In the occupation of these places, the Sixth Route Army was almost completely unresisted, and the local troops, as well as officials, almost fled in despair, and did not dare to fight head-on at all.

This made Zhao Guangyi, who was expecting to drag on for a while, very annoyed, seeing that the general trend had gone, and he would be approached by soldiers in the near future, Zhao Guangyi was crazy, and killed several officials who asked him to move the capital in a row, so he was willing to give up.

But said that this night, Zhao Ling'er saw that Zhao Guangyi was losing his appetite and going crazy, so he said to him, why don't you call that little queen to play with it and improve his mood?

As soon as Zhao Guangyi heard Xiao Zhouhou's name, he immediately became interested, completely ignoring the current trend of burning his eyebrows, and directly let people catch Xiao Zhouhou.

Who is Xiao Zhouhou?

It is said that during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the last monarch of the Later Tang Dynasty was named Li Yu, and he had two queens, who were sisters, surnamed Zhou, so people called his eldest queen the Great Zhou Hou, and the little queen called the Little Zhou Hou.

When the Great Song Dynasty attacked the Later Tang Dynasty, Zhao Guangyi, a perverted man, ignored the opposition of his ministers and forcibly imprisoned Li Yu, without giving the former Later Tang monarch the slightest respect.

He even forcibly humiliated Xiao Zhouhou, and also made people perverted to draw the scene at that time, which shows the degree of viciousness.

Since then, until Li Yu was angry to death, Zhao Guangyi would forcibly have a relationship with Xiao Zhouhou from time to time, until Li Yu's death, Zhao Guangyi may feel that he can no longer get the pleasure of humiliating Li Yu from Xiao Zhouhou, so he gradually stopped caring with her.

Now hearing this name again, Zhao Guangyi seems to have regained the pleasure of the year.

Over the years, Xiao Zhouhou also seemed to accept her fate, eating fasting and reciting Buddha, no different from a nun.

She is also kind-hearted, when the snow disaster in Chunhua was a year, countless displaced people poured out of Kaifeng City, and the donation box erected outside the city gate was her way, and Zhao Gu had donated some silver money at the beginning.

This night, Xiao Zhouhou didn't know how to be abused by Zhao Guangyi again, the eunuchs and palace maids only knew that when Xiao Zhouhou left the palace, his face was full of tears, and his body was scarred, which could almost be described as unclothed.

After Xiao Zhou left, the eunuchs were ready to wait for Zhao Guangyi to get up and change his clothes so that he could go to the court to discuss matters, but suddenly found that Zhao Guangyi was sleeping very dead, snoring loudly, and couldn't wake up no matter how he screamed.

The eunuchs were anxious, and hurriedly called the imperial doctor, who looked at his situation and suddenly remembered that when Taizu Zhao Kuangyin died, the situation of the two brothers was so similar.

The doctors hurriedly pricked needles and used medicines, but they couldn't wake up Zhao Guangyi at all, and they were sweating profusely.

Two hours later, Zhao Guangyi's snoring sound became smaller and smaller, gradually inaudible, and finally there was no sound of breathing, and it was not good to see it.

All the eunuchs, palace maids, and imperial doctors were terrified and wept on the ground.

Zhao Linger was also crying, and suddenly found that someone was pulling him, and when he looked up, he saw that it was the second dog.

"Go out and talk." Two dogs said.

The two went out together, and the second dog handed Zhao Ling'er a bag: "Here are the land deeds of the three Xianyun Villas, with the income of the three villas, it is enough for you to spend all your time drinking, this time you did a good job of assassinating Zhao Guangyi, as long as you don't bring disaster to the country and the people in the future, I will ensure that you will be safe and secure for the rest of your life." ”

"Thank you, please thank Grandpa Guo on my behalf!"

Zhao Ling'er left immediately, and the two dogs passed through the palace gates, leaving the palace as if no one was around, walked into a courtyard, and saw a woman.

This woman is the little week later!

"Niangniang, thank you for your help this time, my eldest brother said, Niangniang's life is miserable, now Zhao Guangyi is dead, the world is big, Niangniang can go wherever she wants, no one can restrain you anymore, you are free."

Xiao Zhouhou is no longer young now, but he is still graceful, and a trace of yearning flashed on his face when he heard this: "Freedom? How many times have I heard this word in my dreams, and yet...... Am I really free? My family Langjun is brilliant, ancient and modern, even if he is not much more than your eldest brother Zhao Gu, but he is dead, he is dead, my heart is dead, if it weren't for revenge for him, I would have died a long time ago! ”

The second dog stopped talking, Zhao Gu had already said in the letter that Xiao Zhouhou was concerned about Li Yu, and if the revenge was avenged, she was afraid that she would not survive in the world, and now it seems that this is indeed the case.

"Niang Niang Gaoyi!" The second dog finally clenched his fists and said.

"Go ahead, thank you for me and Zhao Gu, when my father-in-law was dying, he and I were both thought of taking revenge, all of this depends on your eldest brother, if I were to be ruined by Zhao Guangyi, it was very dirty, before I died, I still want to gradually Zhao Gu! There are not many people in this world who can compare with me! ”

The second dog didn't know how to answer, so he could only turn around and go back, planning to send a message to ask Zhao Gu to say, but as soon as he turned around, he heard a fallen body, and when he looked back, he saw that Xiao Zhouhou had already fallen to the ground, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, and a glass of wine in his hand.

"This cup of poisonous wine is the kind that my father-in-law drank back then, Zhao Guangyi used it to poison my father-in-law, and now I am also dying on this cup of wine, which can be regarded as repaying the friendship between husband and wife, although it is ...... Even though I'm dead...... It's late! ”

After saying this, a generation of beauties passed away with a smile after Xiao Zhou.

Perhaps this is also the first smile on her face since the destruction of the Later Tang Dynasty.

Zhao Guangyi didn't realize how much evil he had done.

The corners of the two dogs' eyes were slightly red, and he was moved by Xiao Zhouhou's temperament, and then found someone to restrain Xiao Zhouhou.

On the other side, as soon as the news of Zhao Guangyi's death spread, it immediately exploded, and countless officials and soldiers were at a loss for what to do, and they really didn't know what to do.

Even Mu Gong, the prime minister of the dynasty, is a little confused, and now that even the emperor is gone, Zhao Gu's army will attack Kaifeng City in an instant, what should he do now?

Elect a new emperor? I'm afraid it's too late, right?

Besides, the so-called dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and the son of a mouse can only make a hole, Zhao Guangyi is so unbearable, how good can his sons be?

The one named Zhao Heng looks gentle and elegant, but in fact he is also a weak person, and he is very stubborn, if he becomes the emperor, he is afraid that the Great Song Dynasty will be bullied to death by foreign countries, and the courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty will be bullied to death by him.

At this moment, Mu Gong somewhat understands why Zhao Guangyi can't tolerate Zhao Gu, with Zhao Heng's ability, if he succeeds to the throne in the future, and Zhao Gu is in a high position, I am afraid that within three days, Zhao Heng will have to be played to death by Zhao Gu.

Mu Gong was still like this, not to mention other officials, Kaifeng City was directly chaotic into a pot of porridge, until Zhao Gu's army suddenly entered Kaifeng City.

As soon as the army arrived, the whole city immediately fell silent, and then the armies of Western Xia and Cheshire also arrived one after another, and more than 800,000 troops gathered in Kaifeng City.

The process of receiving Kaifeng City almost does not need to be narrated, anyway, as soon as the army arrived, Kaifeng City was taken over, and the five people resisted.

Immediately, Zhao Gu took a few subordinates, Cheshire, Xia Weibing, Li Jiqian and others, and came directly to Zichen Palace, where Mu Gong and other officials had been waiting for a long time.

When everyone met, only he knew the suffering, Zhao Gu felt a little embarrassed anyway, after all, just for the contradiction between him and Zhao Guangyi, such a big battle was made, and it seemed that these officials were the ones who hurt the most.

Fortunately, he had tried his best to minimize the casualties and losses of the soldiers, otherwise he would not have been able to sleep with guilt at night.

"In today's situation, we have to come up with a charter, right?" After being silent for a long time, Lu Mengzheng, who had not expressed his opinion since he came back from Zhending Mansion, was the first to stand up and speak.

The eyes of all the ministers swept over Zhao Gu and Cheshire, and they all understood what Lu Mengzheng meant.

Now that Zhao Guangyi is dead, someone has to be the emperor, and these two are the most suitable to be emperors at present, and now it depends on the meaning of the two of them.

"Brother-in-law, what do you think?" Zhao Gu naturally heard what Lu Mengzheng meant, so he set his sights on Cheshire.

"Don't be kidding, my strength is not as good as yours, my influence is not as good as yours, my ability is not as good as yours, what to fight with you, you can do it yourself, as long as you don't forget the agreement when you were on Chuanxia Road." Cheshire said as a matter of course.

"Okay."

Zhao Gu nodded, not ambiguous, and walked forward directly and stood beside the dragon chair: "Everyone, I don't like to twist and behave, today I will directly state my position, Zhao Guangyi is dead, the emperor must have someone to do it, now I have the most power, what is my ability...... It's barely okay, in order to prevent the princes from separating and disturbing the people's livelihood, I plan to be the emperor myself, what do you think? ”

As soon as Zhao Gu's voice fell, the people who rebelled with him were naturally very happy and applauded in unison, while some civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty were silent, not saying good or bad.

Zhao Gu smiled slightly, and said to one of his subordinates: "Dad, you come out and meet with everyone." ”

Zhao Kuangyang walked out, and everyone was surprised when they saw him.

It turned out that Zhao Kuangyang and Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Guangyi, and Zhao Guangmei were all cousins, that is, the grandson of a grandfather, and their appearance was naturally somewhat close.

Zhao Gu also only learned about this news not long ago, and he was surprised for a moment at that time, he never thought that his relationship with Zhao Guangyi would be so close, and he had not yet come out of Wufu.

At that moment, Zhao Gu said: "I know what some of you are worried about, worried that I am not an orthodox royal family, right?" Now that you see my father, you should figure it out, right? In fact, my father and Taizu are cousins, in other words, my father and I are both orthodox royalty. ”

"And the reason why Liao Jingzong died suddenly back then was all because my father assassinated him, and the Great Song Dynasty had a good life in these decades, and he was a great hero for the country and the people."

"Now, I will take over the throne, will anyone disagree?"

Mu Gong and other Great Song officials glanced at each other, and then they began to gradually salute Zhao Gu, and they had already accepted him.

"Okay, the Herald Rites Department, tomorrow the enthronement ceremony will be held to announce it to the world."

On the second day, the enthronement ceremony went smoothly, Zhao Gu wore a yellow robe, officially ascended the throne as the emperor, the four seas surrendered, and all countries came to the court.

Subsequently, he issued a series of decrees.

"From today on, change the Great Song Dynasty to the Zhou Song Dynasty, respect the Empress Zhou Taizu Guo Wei as the Zhou and Song Taizu, respect the Empress Zhou Shizong Chai Rong as the Zhou and Song Taizong, the Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin as the Zhou Song Renzong, and Zhao Guangyi as the Zhou and Song Yinzong."

"The Zhou and Song dynasties are not separated, from now on the country name and the year name will be unified, and the day of the founding of the Zhou Dynasty will be the year of the Zhou and Song dynasties, and in turn, the conventional era names that are often confused will be abandoned, and even if the Zhou and Song dynasties are destroyed in the future, future generations shall not tamper with the era names, and I will make the Zhou and Song dynasty names become the Common Era, after thousands of years."

"From today onwards, all the original titles and official positions will be abolished and re-divided. Chai Rong, the king of Yunnan, was changed to the king of Zhou, one of the four kings side by side. ”

"Xia Weibing is the king of Xia, one of the four kings side by side."

"Yelu Longxu is the king of Liao, one of the four kings side by side."

"The king is really the king, one of the four kings."

"Zhao Pu is the Duke of Song and one of the Eight Great Princes."

"Lu Mengzheng is the Duke of Wenguo, one of the Eight Great Princes."

"Lu Duan is the Duke of Zhongguo and one of the Eight Great Princes."

"Li is indifferent to Zhiguo Gong......."

"Hao blank is the ...... of Yongguo."

"The two dogs have no name and no surname, and now they have the surname 'Yi', their name is Yitian, and they are the righteous princes"

"Li Fu is the Marquis of Ming, one of the sixteen national candidates."

"Pan Lang is a ...... for the youth."

Since then, the DPRK and China have been divided into six academies and eighteen departments, namely the Central Academy, which is in charge of the administration of the world; the procuratorate, which supervises the world; The courts, which examine all wrongdoings; …… The Ministry of Agriculture, in charge of the world's agricultural ......"

"The army is divided into four academies and thirty-six armies, which are the Commander's Yuan, which is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses and issues military orders; The Senate, which plans all wars, evaluates them, and advises them on military orders; Military courts, which deal with all matters of offences in the military; The logistics institute is in charge of the dispatch of soldiers, horses, grain and grass. ”

"The Eighteenth Army is the Fifteenth Army of Soldiers and Horses, with 40,000 men each. The other three armies are the Supervision Army, which is under the command of the Military Court; The logistics and transportation army is under the command of the logistics institute; French Army, under the command of the military court. ”

"There are many rivers in the world, dense lakes, and the Yangtze River and the Yellow River are the worst, you can expand the river within three or five years, develop river transportation, and build a large residential city along the river, a little bit of the line, a line with the surface, radiation in all directions, ten years later, but all large rivers and lakes, are imitation of the development of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, until the radiation of the Zhou and Song Dynasty."
