That night, 2,000 horsemen entered the palace in batches, and the palace was tightly sealed, with three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, so Chao Yong no longer had to worry about the news being passed on.

The next day, there were constantly fast horses delivering news into the palace, and the Liangshan army approached the capital.

As soon as all the messengers entered the palace, they were taken down.

When Chao Yong was thinking about whether to close the city, he saw Yan Qing entering the palace from the tunnel.

Chao Yong said: "Why did Xiao Yi enter the palace?" ”

Yan Qingyu said: "After the prince entered the palace, I paid attention to the movements in the market, and now the people have spread the news that my soldiers and horses are approaching the capital." ”

Chao Yong immediately said to Duan Chang on the side: "In the name of Zhao Ji, I ordered your people to close the city gate, and at the same time, the whole city was under martial law, and the people were strictly forbidden to go to the streets, so it was said that the Liangshan thieves came to attack the city." Then he ordered all the forbidden troops in the city to stand by in the barracks, and without a military order, they were not allowed to leave the camp for a single step. ”

Duan Chang also knew that the time had come for him to make meritorious contributions, so he hurriedly said, "Yes." ”

Duan Chang was ordered to go out, and Chao Yong and Yan Qing came to Xuande Building.

Xuande Tower is the city tower of the south gate of the Imperial Palace, and it is very magnificently built.

Ascending the Xuande Tower, the wide royal street in front of the palace and several streets in the distance can be seen at a glance.

"Knock Knock"

Soon, the alarm bell of the city of Tokyo was raised, all the gates were closed, and groups of forbidden troops appeared in the streets.

"The Liangshan thieves are attacking the city, and the whole city is under martial law, and it is forbidden to move around."

With the shouts of the forbidden army, the streets suddenly became chickens and dogs, businesses were closed, and people scrambled to run home.

It took half an hour for the cuffing in the city to stop, and the market that had just been crowded was gone, leaving only a group of forbidden troops patrolling the streets.

Chao Yong watched the city calm down on the Xuande Tower, and there was no forbidden army coming to the palace, and he was relieved, as long as the city was so vigilant for a long time, the flag of the girder would be planted in Tokyo at night.

Chao Yong and Yan Qing had just gotten off the Xuande Building, when they saw a personal soldier running over and reported: "Someone is coming from the Yunwang Mansion." ”

"Lead the way"

Soon, Chao Yong followed his soldiers to a flying bridge.

Yun Wang Zhao Kai is the third son of Zhao Ji, smart and clever since childhood, and when he grows up, he is like Zhao Ji, and he is excellent in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so he is deeply favored by Zhao Ji.

Zhao Kai is also the prince with the highest ranking in the imperial examination in history, he participated in the imperial examination in the first year of Chonghe, passed the test, and went to the palace examination. Zhao Ji naturally liked his son, so he asked Zhao Kai to be the champion, but the Qingliu in the court persuaded him to avoid suspicion, so Zhao Ji pointed Wang Ang as the champion and Zhao Kai as the leader.

Two years ago, she was named Queen Yun, and she was promoted to the Imperial City Division, nominally in charge of the palace guards. In fact, he was not in charge of guarding the palace, but another military general.

Although he has no real power, when King Yun held this office, he was also jealous of the other princes. Because after the promotion of the Imperial City Division, they can freely enter and leave the palace, while other adult princes cannot enter the palace without being summoned by the emperor.

Zhao Kai's favor is not only this, in order to facilitate Zhao Kai to enter and exit the palace, Zhao Ji also allowed Zhao Kai to build a flying bridge between his mansion and the palace, so that Zhao Kai can go directly from his mansion to the palace.

Zhao Ji's actions hinted to everyone that he had the heart to abolish the establishment, and after Wang Huang, who was good at greeting, saw Zhao Ji's intentions, he began to secretly play some of the mistakes of the crown prince Zhao Huan in order to please Zhao Ji.

The crown prince Zhao Huan was born to Zhao Ji's Yuan match queen Wang, the queen's surname was respectful and thrifty, and the concubine Zheng and the Wang family competed for favor at that time, threatening her throne, but the queen did not suppress them. I didn't want to, but someone instructed the eunuch to frame her for misconduct, and Zhao Ji sent someone to investigate, but naturally there was no evidence.

Although the Wang family was finally innocent, as the queen, it was verified like this, and the Wang family has been depressed since then. It didn't take long for Wang to die, when Zhao Huan was only nine years old.

It can be said that Zhao Huan has experienced the ruthless struggle in the palace since he was a child, coupled with the early death of his mother and no one to take care of him, it can be said that he was cowardly since he was a child. Coupled with Zhao Ji's pampering of Zhao Kai, Zhao Huan knew that he was only named the crown prince because he only occupied the position of the eldest son, and in addition, he had no advantage in the competition with Zhao Kai, so he had been cautious.

Some time ago, Zhao Ji rectified the dynasty and ordered the selection of talents. Wang Hao also took the opportunity to play the tense situation in the world, and he should set up a talented and virtuous prince, instead of ranking them by the eldest and youngest.

Zhao Huan didn't know whether he was angry or frightened, he fell ill after returning from the scattered dynasty, and he was recuperating at home for the past few days.

Although Zhao Kai is very favored by Zhao Ji, he is not the prince, and he can't go to court.

Moreover, Zhao Kai is more obsessed with painting than Zhao Ji, and he has no government affairs to deal with, so he often paints a whole day, and his subordinates dare not disturb.

Yesterday, he did another painting, and he didn't stop painting until the evening.

I thought about it, I dreamed at night, and I had some thoughts in my sleep.

When I woke up early this morning, I went to verify the thoughts in my sleep.

It wasn't until martial law in the whole city that his staff interrupted his painting.

Zhao Kai heard that Zhao Ji was furious again yesterday, and asked the hundred officials to stay in the palace to think about countermeasures, and now the Liangshan thieves came to attack the city again, and now the whole audience is under martial law, so he hurriedly changed his clothes and entered the palace to see Zhao Ji.

Unexpectedly, in the palace that he had just entered, he was held by Chao Yong's two personal soldiers.

Zhao Kai was twisted by the two, and he was also furious, and immediately scolded: "This king has raised the Imperial City Division, and he can enter and leave the palace freely, and you still don't let go?" ”

The two pro-soldiers said: "Without the emperor's order, all those who trespass on the palace without permission will be taken." ”

Zhao Kai talked to a few pro-soldiers, but the two pro-soldiers had nothing else to say to him except for this sentence.

Zhao Kai was struggling, and when he saw Chao Yong and Yan Qing coming, he hurriedly shouted: "This king is here, let them let go." ”

Chao Yong smiled: "You are Zhao Kai, the king of Yun?" ”

Zhao Kai heard Chao Yong call him by name, he couldn't help but be stunned, looked at Chao Yong suspiciously, and said: "It's this king, you look at Miansheng, aren't you a general in the Royal Forest Army?" ”

Chao Yong also looked at Zhao Kai curiously for a while, his appearance was seven points similar to Zhao Ji, he was handsome, and he also had some elegant temperament, and said with a smile: "I will take you to see your father, and you will know who I am." ”

"Let Him Go"

The two pro-soldiers got Chao Yong's orders, and then let go of Zhao Kai.

Zhao Kai saw that Chao Yong didn't have any respect for him, and he was also very curious, but he forgot to let Chao Yong deal with these two soldiers who were rude to him, and moved the arm that was twisted by the two pro-soldiers, and followed Chao Yong to the vertical arch hall.

When I entered the vertical arch hall, I saw Zhao Ji standing there with a haggard face, and couldn't help but run over and said: "The state affairs are urgent, and the son is late, so I ask my father to surrender." ”

Zhao Ji saw that his favorite son didn't seem to know yet, and couldn't help but shudder: "It's gone, it's gone, I don't have to deal with state affairs in the future." ”

Zhao Kai saw that Zhao Ji was depressed and crumbling, so he wanted to step forward to support Zhao Ji.

A few steps away, Wu Song, who was monitoring Zhao Ji, shouted, "Stop." ”

Zhao Kai said again and again, and was stopped again and again, and he was also angry, looked at Wu Song and said, "Bold." ”

Wu Song heard that it was Zhao Ji, the son of the faint king, and he didn't have a good feeling in his heart, but when he heard Zhao Kai's reprimand, he waved his hand and it was a slap.

Zhao Kai Wuwen is a good hand at making ink, but his martial arts are far behind, he dodged, and he didn't dodge, and he was slapped to the ground on the spot.

Wu Song's slap was merciless, and with a crisp sound, Zhao Kai's two teeth flew in the air.

Zhao Kai covered his mouth and got up, and he didn't care about asking the emperor, so he shouted directly outside the hall: "Someone." ”

Zhao Ji was also heartbroken when he saw Zhao Kai end up like this, but he couldn't do anything, and he was afraid that Zhao Kai would suffer again, so he hurriedly said: "Kai'er, the palace has been controlled by Liangshan soldiers and horses." ”

Zhao Kai subconsciously said: "Liangshan thief? ”

"Smack"

Another slap, Zhao Kai fell to the ground again.

was slapped down twice, and Zhao Kai was also a little dizzy, and he couldn't get up at once.

Zhao Kai was lying on the ground, and when he saw the appearance of a hundred civil and military officials watching a good show, he remembered that when he came in, these people did not flatter him as usual. And judging from Wu Song's second reaction, they should be the "Liangshan thieves" in his mouth.

Zhao Kai also figured out his current situation, got up obediently, and saw that Chao Yong, who was leading him in, had already walked to the dragon chair and sat down, and couldn't help but wonder again.

Chao Yong said with a smile: "Originally, you could have been free outside the palace, but I didn't expect you to send it to the door, don't worry, when my army enters the city, your brothers will also be with you." ”

Zhao Ji also plucked up the courage and said, "I don't know what the prince is going to do with my Zhao family?" ”

Chao Yong looked at Zhao Ji and said, "What do you think?" ”

Zhao Ji said shamelessly: "Since ancient times, the king of benevolence and virtue will be divided into the king of the destruction of the country, and after Emperor Zhou Gong gave me the throne of the Taizu of the dynasty, the Taizu also named him King Zheng." ”

Chao Yong smiled: "So you are willing to Zen?" ”

"As long as you don't kill my Zhao family, I'm willing to Zen."

Chao Yong looked at Zhao Ji and said: "You are such a faint king, my Liang is to announce to the world and abolish your throne, instead of accepting your throne." Maybe killing you, a faint king, in public, will win the hearts of the people even more, right? ”

When Zhao Ji heard this, his face couldn't help but change, and he hurriedly said: "Daliang is in control of Tokyo, and most of the state capitals in the world are still under the control of my Song Dynasty officials. ”

Zhao Jitianren has been fighting for a long time, but he has figured it out, his princes are all in Tokyo, and after Liangshan captures Tokyo, I'm afraid no one can escape. Although most of the country is still under the control of Song Dynasty officials, without the call of the royal family, I am afraid it will be a plate of scattered sand, not to mention that there are Chao Gai, Fang La, Tian Hu, and Wang Qing to snatch it, I am afraid that his Zhao family will end here. What's more, if someone in his Zhao family can calm the world, he may have become a dead man by then, rather than that, it is better to protect his own surname.

Chao Yong was also a little moved when he heard this, but he was puzzled: "You have already been taken prisoner, can the officials of the state capital listen to you?" ”

Zhao Ji said: "There may be some people who will not listen to me anymore, but as long as my holy decree is spread all over the world, there are officials who want to fight for the world, and then they will also resist the decree and make chaos, and if they lose their righteousness, other state capitals will not respond to them." ”
