Chapter 86: Bianjing Storm (I)
Chen Qiaoyi is only a short forty miles away from Kaifeng, and it doesn't take long to return, Guo Tingyun, who rushed back last night, has already seen the top officials who are now staying in front of the palace, Shi Shouxin and Wang Xianqi.
"My lord, the generals on the front line unanimously requested that Lord Zhao Kuangyin be proclaimed as the emperor, everyone is ready to give him a yellow robe this morning, Lord Zhao Pu asked me to come back first to inform the two adults, please prepare the two adults, and protect Lord Zhao's family at the same time."
Guo Tingyun didn't even bother to drink tea, so he came to see Shi Shouxin and Wang Xianqi and asked them to get ready.
"Haha, the eldest brother is going to be the emperor, our brother will definitely support it, come and tell the brothers to go down, let the brothers guard the gate of the eldest brother back to Beijing, and when the eldest brother comes back, open the city gate immediately, Lord Guo has worked hard, go down to rest first, and leave the rest to us."
Guo Tingyun didn't shirk either, he rushed back overtime, and now he is really tired, anyway, his task has been completed, and he can take a rest.
"Brother Wang, we have to hurry up and arrange it, and when the eldest brother comes back, we won't be in a hurry, and at the same time, we must not forget to protect the people of the Zhao Mansion, you send someone to contact Zhao Xu, so that it will be easier for us to protect them, you go in person, and I will arrange the city defense."
Wang Xianqi didn't have any objections, they were the two buddies with whom Zhao Kuangyin had the most iron relationship, and there was still a tacit understanding, otherwise Zhao Kuangyin would not recommend them to serve as the commander and the marquis of Du Yu respectively, and the two quickly went their separate ways.
In the parade ground of the front division of the palace, the front of the palace commanded Shi Shouxin, and urgently anxious the soldiers of the front division of the palace, everyone didn't know what was going on, this was just out of the battle, and there was no war, why did everyone gather again
"Everyone is quiet, dare to make a loud noise, military law is engaged." Shi Shouxin saw the chaos around him and shouted, sure enough, all the soldiers stopped talking, the military law of the front division of the palace was stricter than that in other places, and no one wanted to give it a try.
"The brothers have gathered everyone here today, in fact, there is one thing, that is, our people will be the Son of Heaven, I want to ask if you support it?" There were also a lot of people standing in the entire parade ground, but there were still quite a few forbidden soldiers armed with bows and arrows around the parade ground.
These soldiers were Shi Shouxin's cronies, so let them be on guard early in the morning, in case these soldiers did not agree, they could be eliminated on the spot.
"Anything is checked, the Lord wants to be the emperor, how can you not support it, you heard that a flying dragon appeared on the roof of the day before yesterday, this is the mandate of heaven." A soldier said.
Not to be outdone, another soldier said: "You heard about it, I saw it with my own eyes, that dragon is so beautiful and very majestic." β
Then someone followed: "So, this is really providence, then I support, I absolutely support, otherwise it will be against God." β
"That's it, no one can be more heavenly, Lord Shi, we support it. Just let us do what you say! β
Many of these forbidden soldiers have followed Zhao Kuangyin for a long time, and of course, some of them came out of Zhao Xu's forbidden military academy, these are not outsiders, can you not support them? Even Shi Shouxin didn't expect it to go well.
But the smoother the better: "Well, since everyone agrees, then we will go to the north gate to greet our lords, and we will all be heroes at that time, and promotion and fortune are indispensable." β
On the morning of the fourth day of the first lunar month, the ministers were still congratulating today's little emperor in the court, and it was still a lively scene, especially Han Tong and others were even more smiling, Zhao Kuangyin and others left, and when they couldn't find the main force of the Khitan, they could be punished for their crimes, and they would not be in power at that time.
Fan Zhen was also happy, this old man felt that he was a great hero, but he didn't expect that this was a simple small strategy, so he easily transferred Zhao Kuangyin, a group of proud soldiers, out of the capital, but his mind was still quite clear, and then he was ready to contact Shi Shouxin and other people with their positions and military power.
You can give them a fictitious position or an idle position, anyway, they can't be in charge of the army anymore, just like Zhao Xu, let's be a marquis, and lead Yulu to live a good life. Who made you Zhao Kuangyin's hardcore brothers?
When they were proud, someone came to report that Pan Mei, who accompanied Zhao Kuangyin on the expedition, came back, what was he doing when he came back at this time, there was neither the emperor's decree nor the report, they had only been out for a day, and they hadn't gone far?
"Minister, Pan Mei sees the emperor and the queen mother, and the minister has important things to do." Pan Mei still made a courtesy of the monarch and the minister.
"Aiqing, don't you know if there is anything important about your return to the capital at this time?" What does the little emperor know, of course, the queen mother is the one who asks this.
"Emperor Qi and Queen Mother, when the army marched to Chenqiaoyi yesterday, the sky suddenly appeared on the second day, this morning all the soldiers flocked into the handsome account of Lord Zhao, and gave him a yellow robe, and now the army has supported this Lord to return to Beijing.
What, all the inspections have made the Son of Heaven?
This is really today's news, everyone was out of breath, and they all checked the Son of Heaven, he was the most loyal to the emperor.
At this time, Fan Zhen was holding the hand of another Zaifu Wang Pu tightly, and his nails had already sunk into Wang Pu's flesh, and Wang Pu grinned in pain, but it was not that he couldn't be pulled out of Fan Pu's hand.
Fan Zhen then knelt on the ground: "The old minister is confused, the old minister is confused, and he hastily sent troops to send generals, so that it caused such a disaster, and the old minister is sorry for the first emperor." β
Fan Zhen cried bitterly, and Wang Pu next to him was also kneeling on the ground, but he was muttering in his heart:
"Old Fan, this is your idea, I just support you, why are you holding my hand."
But isn't it, Fan Zhen has been holding his hand, Wang Pu's hand, at this time the blood has slowly flowed down, people who don't know the truth will definitely think that they are a pair of good friends.
The court is even more chaotic, especially the Queen Mother, who is already panicked at this time, if the dynasty is changed, she and the emperor will definitely not be accommodated by the new court, and there is only one death.
At this time, someone reported that Zhao Kuangyin's army was less than ten miles away from the capital, and the army was unimpeded along the way, without any resistance, and I believe that they would soon reach the capital, and they would definitely treat the emperor and the queen mother with their words.
Zhang Dejun immediately comforted the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, you don't have to worry, Zhao Kuangyin is a kind person, since he promised to treat the emperor and you politely, he will definitely do it, don't worry." β
"Zhao Kuangyin really rebelled, I thought that transferring him out of the capital would be half the success, but I didn't expect that he would come to such a hand, I want to gather the guards and soldiers to kill the traitors."
Han Tong's voice resounded in the main hall, and without any hesitation, he summoned his guards and subordinates to kill the so-called traitor Zhao Kuangyin, and at the same time let his son lead a group of people to Zhao Mansion to arrest Zhao Kuangyin's family.
But when they arrived at the Zhao Mansion, they searched the entire mansion, but there was no one, let alone a person, not even a dog, and Han Hui in a fit of anger made the entire Zhao Mansion burn. Then he led the crowd out of the reads.
At this time, in the underground of the Zhao Mansion, all the people of the Zhao Mansion are here, this is an underground secret room, it is not appropriate to say that it is a secret room, there is a ventilated place here, and even sunlight has been found here.
"Xu'er, I finally know now that you built this place in the first place, did your father really become a ......" It was his grandmother, Mrs. Zhao, who spoke.
"Grandma, my father has always had great ambitions, and this is also something that everyone expects, destiny cannot be done, and it has long been doomed." At this time, Zhao Xu was still holding his younger brother in his hand, and then he handed his younger brother to his mother and stood up by himself.
"That's right, your father was extraordinary when he was born, and some people said at that time that your father must be rich and noble in the future, I thought that he would be the greatest wealth when he became a festival envoy, but I didn't expect it, but unfortunately your grandfather couldn't see it."
The old lady was still a little sad, Zhao Xu comforted: "I think grandpa Quanxia will be relieved if he knows, by the way, grandma, mother, stay here, don't go out, I'll pick you up when the matter is over, it's safe here." β
At this time, as soon as He heard that his son was going out, he immediately became worried, and Zhao Xu knew what she meant:
"It's okay mother, you and grandma will stay here first, I'll go out and have a look, rest assured that I'm not alone and have them." Zhao Xu pointed to the side with his hand, where there were more than 100 people, all of them masked.
In broad daylight, he is still masked, which makes people look a little strange, these are Zhao Xu's most trusted black shadows, Miao Xun trained that day, assassination and intelligence are all good hands, and now it is under Zhao Xu's hands, Zhao Xu asked Liu Hongqing and Dong Xuanye to take them and prepare to go out with them.
Although the old lady and He didn't know much martial arts, they could feel that these people had a terrifying temperament, so they were very relieved.
"Gui Ying, Ling'er, you are here to accompany grandma and mother, I will come when I go, it's okay." Seeing the concerned eyes of the two women, Zhao Xu walked up to them and hugged them into his arms.
Gao Guiying has been living in the Gao family these days, and they have become good sisters who talk about everything with Ling'er, Gao Guiying is Zhao Xu's fiancΓ©e, everyone knows about this Ling'er, everyone regards her as a family, not to mention that she also saved Zhao Xu's life.
Besides, Ling'er has an easy-going temperament and the people in the entire Zhao Mansion like her very much, and the old lady and the He family have long regarded her as their granddaughter-in-law (daughter-in-law).
