Four, three, three, who defended Zhou Quan

Early in the morning, Li Yan put on his clothes, said goodbye to his neighbors, and then walked towards the northeast of the capital with a smile. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As a "Hu Shang" from the Western Regions, Li Yanchang did not look like a person from the Western Regions, but the imperial court treated Hu Shang quite favorably, and he believed in Hu Christianity and worshiped five times a day, so the people around him believed that he was a Hu Shang.

But he himself knows who he really is.

After the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Industry and Commerce, it became easier for various countries to install fine work in the Great Song Dynasty, and they were not afraid of protecting their armor, as long as they had the status of merchants, they could come freely to see them in most places of the Great Song Dynasty. Li Yan was sent to the Great Song Dynasty by Li Fufu under the cover of Hu Shang's identity, and in the past two years, he has found out a lot of news.

As he walked, more and more people joined him, and in a short time there were nearly twenty people around him.

These are all the meticulous works that Xia Guo left in the Great Song Jingshi, and it can be said that everyone is here. They and the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty either have a hatred of killing their father, or a hatred of destroying the door, and no one in this world hates the Great Song Dynasty more than them, and hopes that the Great Song Dynasty is finished.

Today, he's going to take them to do something big.

Like him, there is also Ma Jiu'er who has to do great things.

With more than ten companions, their faces were gloomy, through the streets and alleys of the Great Song Jingshi, these days the streets were chaotic, Kaifeng Mansion did not dare to take care of things, they were wearing the clothes of the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce, even if there were inspectors to see, no one dared to come up to ask at this time.

"It's almost there." Ma Jiuer finally spoke.

"Very good, Lao Ma, after doing this, you can go back, Da Liao needs talents like you......" Behind him, the originally inconspicuous person raised his head and said with a smile.

"I'd rather Da Liao not think of me, and I don't need a useless person like me." Ma Jiu'er said sullenly.

He didn't want to go back at all, although he was a Liao man, he had been sneaking into the Great Song Dynasty for a long time, and he was used to the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty, so he was unwilling to return unless he had to.

"Hugh wants to look at Da Liao with old eyes, and now he is in Yanjing, but Da Shi Linya has the final say, and he does things differently than before."

"Yes, it's different, in the past, Da Liao will definitely not use this kind of means, no matter who is in charge of the Song Kingdom, he only needs to fight, and if he wins, he will naturally have a year coin." Ma Gu pouted: "Sometimes you don't even need to fight, as long as you catch a few border people of the Song people, or send someone to enter the territory of the Song Kingdom to fight the grass valley, the Song people will send envoys to dissipate the anger of our Daliao Emperor!" ”

"That's the old emperor's calendar, don't say it, don't say it, anyway, when you return to Yanjing, you will know, if you say who can save our Da Liao, only Da Shi Linya, King Wei trusts him very much, the imperial court, and now he trusts him very much!"

As they spoke, they came to their destination.

Gen Yue.

Genyue occupies a huge area, and was originally heavily guarded, but there will also be loopholes with heavy security, and if they are let go, no one can catch these loopholes, but today is different.

The matter of war bonds is not only involved in ordinary people, but also the forbidden army in the capital, and even the small eunuchs or palace maids in the palace who have accumulated a little bit of belongings, as well as the direct ...... There are many people involved in it, and there are many people who know the truth.

Zhao Ji was unwilling to use the money from the inner treasury to redeem the war bonds, Cai Jing was unwilling to use the money from the treasury, and the group of clans of the Tianshui Chamber of Commerce were crying and crying for the burning of the Tianshui Chamber of Commerce building, and Zhao Yu was pretending to be sick at home, and he was even more reluctant to give this money.

Those who borrow money to speculate and invest with their own pension money, to a certain extent, they are forced to a desperate situation, and since they are desperate, they are naturally bold.

As Zhou Quan said, it is easy to light the first fire, but as long as you open this head, it is difficult to say when to light the last fire.

Half an hour later, at least six fires were lit in Genyue.

Then it became more than a dozen fire spots.

At this time, it was winter, the weather was dry, and the wind was strong, although there were various fire prevention measures in Genyue, but at the beginning, countless strange trees and trees were attracted from all over the country and planted in the Genyue garden. Now the branches and leaves are dry, and the fire together will become a prairie fire!

It's just that Zhao Ji is not in Genyue today, and there are not many people left in the palace garden, and most of them are palace maids who have little strength. The forbidden army could not enter Genyue at will, so the initial favorable opportunity was lost, and when the firefighting was really carried out on a large scale, all they could do was to cut down trees, hook down buildings, and then let the fire burn in the fire until they burned out on their own.

Zhao Ji stood in the Yanfu Palace, not far from Gen Yue, when he saw the fire here, his hands and feet were cold, and his whole body trembled with anger.

"Come on, come on, pass on the decree to me, Zhou Quan is rebellious, Zhou Quan is a thief, I want to kill his whole family, I want to punish him nine clans!"

Like everyone, when Zhao Ji saw the fire, his first thought was the fire that Zhou Quan instructed people to set out.

As soon as he gave the order, Liang Shicheng behind him bowed down and kowtowed.

"The official family, the official family, this order cannot be given, King Kang has just left the city!" Liang Shicheng defended Zhou Quan for no other reason, but mentioned King Kang Zhao Gou.

Zhao Ji was stunned: "Recall him back to Beijing, call him back to Beijing!" ”

The envoy sent to summon Zhao Gou back to Beijing soon caught up with the car.

At this time, Zhao Gou already knew the news of the third fire in Beijing, and when he learned from the messenger that it was Gen Yue who set fire to him, his mouth was wide open, and he couldn't close his mouth for a long time.

He also thought that this fire was set by Zhou Quan.

However, being cautious by nature, he still asked: "Can you catch the arsonist?" ”

"I didn't catch it, now the city is closed, I can't leave the city without the holy decree, and the arsonist can't escape!" to make a low voice.

"The imperial court thought that Zhou Quan had done it, and had already sent troops and horses to arrest Zhou Quan's subordinates and raid the Donghai Chamber of Commerce?" Zhao Gou asked again.

"Yes."

Zhao Gou's expression was very complicated, and all kinds of emotions finally turned into a long sigh.

This change was really unexpected by him, and when he had no choice but to do anything, he could only return to Beijing first according to the call of the Holy Decree.

Back in the palace, the crown prince Zhao Huan, Yun Wang Zhao Kai and others were all serving by Zhao Ji's side, Zhao Gou stepped forward to salute, and the two emperors were discolored, and they even sobbed and cried when they saw Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji was furious at this time, and said in a deep voice: "Tell Cai Jing to order him to stay at home behind closed doors, don't come to see me, and order the military department to mobilize soldiers and horses from all over the country, and raise food and grass from all over the country. ”

"What my father said is that Zhou Quan, a thief, if he doesn't punish him, I'm afraid that he will bombard the Beijing division tomorrow!" Zhao Kai, whose eyes were red, echoed.

He fled from the Daimyo's Mansion yesterday because he heard that the Liao soldiers had bypassed the fortified city and penetrated hundreds of miles into the territory of the Song Kingdom, less than 100 miles away from the Daimyo's Mansion. Although it was only a rumor, it was enough to frighten him, but fortunately, at this time, Zhao Ji's order to return to Beijing to report on his work arrived, and he immediately flew back to Beijing.

But I never thought that when I entered the capital, I encountered such a thing, the emperor's beloved Gen Yue, were set on fire by people, although the fire was put out in time, but Gen Yue was also burned nearly one-fifth, repaired, I am afraid it will cost millions of dollars!

What's more, Gen Yue was on fire, especially during this time period, which was a shock to the Song royal family, which had already lost its prestige, especially Zhao Ji, who was a face-loving person.

Zhao Gou heard this, his heart was cold, he glanced at his brother Zhao Kai, originally at this time, Zhao Kai should be the most able person to persuade Zhao Ji, but Zhao Kai's anger is clearly greater than Zhao Ji.

Obviously, he hated Zhou Quan deeply, thinking that without Zhou Quan, the Northern Expedition would definitely succeed, and he would be able to become the new crown prince.

Zhao Gou glanced at the crown prince Zhao Huan again, as a profiteering, he should come forward at this time to relieve Zhou Quan. He doesn't need to defend Zhou Quan, just slow down and delay for a while.

But Zhao Huan was as always, just silent.

Zhao Huan had his own plans, after the failure of the Northern Expedition, the crisis of changing the reserve was temporarily lifted, and he began to regret it, unwilling to have any more contact with Zhou Quan, and even more unwilling to fulfill his promise to Zhou Quan.

And deep in his heart, just like Zhao Ji and Zhao Kai, he thinks that Zhou Quan is a threat to the Great Song Dynasty.

Even if Li Bangyan gave him advice before, he felt that he didn't need Zhou Quan anymore. His nature is so cold, so at this time, he will not appear to speak for Zhou Quan.

Zhao Gou hesitated, the crown prince and King Yun didn't speak, they opened their mouths to speak for Zhou Quan, and in front of these many people, is it appropriate?

He has secret contact with Zhou Quan, but today's matter of Gen Yue is ......

"Daddy, Gen Yue's matter must not be Zhou Quan's doing!" Zhao Gou was still hesitating, but he heard someone speak.

He looked at it in amazement, not only him, but almost everyone present.

The one who opened his mouth turned out to be Emperor Maofu Zhao Fujin, who came back with Zhao Gou!

If someone else speaks, everyone will not be surprised when they admire their courage, after all, there are always people in the palace who make friends with foreign ministers. But it was Zhao Fujin who spoke, but it made people stunned, it was Zhao Ji himself, and his first reaction was not angry, but strange.

"Why did Maud say that?" He asked.

"Gen Yue was built by Daddy and Zhou Quan together, it is Daddy's hard work, and it is also Zhou Quan's hard work, he just wants to set fire, he can burn the Imperial City, burn Yanfu Palace, will not burn Gen Yue, he is reluctant!"

Still crying, with tears in his eyes, Zhao Fujin still said the reason he thought in his heart.

This reason made everyone dumbfounded, but it was enough to make Zhao Ji sober.

Why did Zhou Quan burn Gen Yue, did he want to demonstrate to him, but there was no need for this at all!

Burning Tong Guan's house and burning Tianshui Chamber of Commerce is enough to demonstrate, and there is no need to burn Genyue again. Moreover, as Emperor Mao said, the design and construction of Genyue, Zhou Quan also spent a lot of effort, and many of the furnishings in it were all he tried to get, for example, in the fire suffered heavy losses in the "Mirror Garden" and "Time Garden" two courtyards, in which all kinds of mirrors and table clocks were dedicated by Zhou Quan, Zhou Quan even once suggested that the opening of the Mirror Garden and the Time Garden, like the rest of the royal gardens of the Great Song Dynasty, for tourists to visit, so that the things of the Son of Heaven are no longer only liked by one person, but the world is happy.

"Biography...... Li Gang is here to see me! Zhao Ji pondered for a while and said. (To be continued.) )
