Chapter 3 The Chenqiao Mutiny
At the beginning of the eighth year of Zhou Xiande, just after the New Year, the imperial court received news that the Khitan and the Northern Han Dynasty jointly went south.
The little emperor was young, and the prime minister in charge was shocked, and he couldn't distinguish between the true and the false, and the emperor sent the forbidden army in front of the palace to check Zhao Kuangyin and lead the army to meet the enemy.
On the night of leaving the city, the army was stationed in Chenqiaoyi, and there was a mutiny, and Zhao Kuangyin was dressed in a yellow robe and established the Song Dynasty.
Today happens to be the fourth day of the first lunar month, and the information in the dialogue between the Zhao family and the family happens to be consistent with history.
Zhao Zheng boldly concluded that the Chenqiao Mutiny would be staged tonight, and then tomorrow would be the Song Dynasty!
At this critical time, the Zhao family is going home!
Just imagine, Zhao Kuangyin mutinied outside the city, will the little emperor and the prime minister in the city sit back and wait to die? In any case, his family members bear the brunt of the attack, either killing them to vent their anger or taking them hostage.
Tonight, Zhao Mansion is definitely the most dangerous place in Bianliang City, but why do they still want to go back?
Could it be that they have other plans? Or is there an error in the historical record?
Zhao Zheng didn't quite understand, he only remembered that on the night of the Chenqiao Mutiny, Zhao Kuangyin's family was hiding in the temple, and they escaped with the mercy and protection of the monks.
In an instant, Zhao Zheng realized that this might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he had to gamble!
Tomorrow is the Song Dynasty, if you can save the emperor's family tonight, with this meritorious kindness, Huang Tengda in the Great Song Fei is just around the corner!
So he exported in time!
……
"Little monk, what did you say? Can't go? Zhao Kuangyin's little sister Zhao Yanran turned around, her eyes were as sharp as ever, and her tone was a little doubtful, as if she felt funny.
"Yes, you can't go!"
"Why?"
Seeing this, he stopped and said, "Nonsense, what are you, how can you be so rude to nobles?" ”
Zhao Zheng didn't take him seriously at all, and stepped forward and said: "The little monk fell asleep behind the Buddha statue, and the Buddha dreamed and asked the little monk to tell the noble man a few words!" ”
"The Buddha will give you a dream?" Jie Yan looked sarcastic, and he was very angry at the junior brother who didn't know each other.
"You'd better shut up!" Zhao Zheng had completely endured enough, and his sharp eyes made Jieyi secretly frightened.
Zhao Yanran asked with interest, "What words?" ”
"It's a matter of importance, the Buddha's proverbs can only enter the ears of nobles, can the lady take a step to speak?"
Everyone looked at each other, and a little monk jumped out inexplicably, and said words of astonishment, making it so mysterious, the scene seemed a little strange.
Zhao Yanran's face changed slightly, and she muttered: "It's best not to play tricks, otherwise you will die embarrassingly!" ”
"After listening, the lady will make her own decision, if there is a disposition, listen to it." Zhao Zheng took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and secretly rejoiced that it was right to choose to communicate with Zhao Yanran. dared to scold Song Taizu with a rolling pin, she was definitely a decisive, wise and sharp woman.
Walking to the side of the hall, Zhao Zheng came to Zhao Yanran's side and said in a low voice: "The Buddha asked the little monk to tell you to stay in the Dingli Courtyard tonight." ”
"What do you want?" Zhao Yanran was a little surprised, her face was angry, her eyes signaled Zhao Zheng to keep her distance, and the pretty ** widow who lived at home was reluctant to have close contact with men.
"It has nothing to do with the little monk, but it is just truthfully conveyed to the Buddha's words, if your family stays in this temple tonight, tomorrow will be - expensive, no, can, words!"
Zhao Zheng paused word by word, his tone was firm, and when it came into his ears, Zhao Yanran couldn't help but be shocked, and vaguely understood the inner meaning.
Zhao Yanran's expression and tone suddenly became much more solemn, staring at Zhao Zheng and asking, "Who are you?" ”
"Monk!"
"Who told you to say that?"
"What the Buddha said in his dream!"
"You ......" Zhao Yanran was a little angry, and the little monk didn't tell the truth.
Zhao Zheng smiled bitterly in his heart, and said with an indifferent expression: "The little monk has told me truthfully, believe it or not!" ”
After a moment of hesitation, Zhao Zheng couldn't hold back after all, and added: "If the little monk talks nonsense, there is no loss in staying overnight, if it is true...... Not to mention avoiding the scourge of killing, there is also supreme glory, please be cautious. ”
After that, Zhao Zheng left without looking back, leaving Zhao Yanran stunned.
……
……
In the first month, spring has not arrived, the cold is still heavy, and the whistling north wind blows through Chenqiaoyi, like a burst of dragon groaning, whistling heaven and earth.
When night fell, the drunken Zhao Kuangyin was dressed in a yellow robe and completely sobered up in the long live of the mountain.
Become an emperor yourself!
Zhao Kuangyin had imagined such a grand occasion in his heart, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, so suddenly, and even a little inexplicable.
I have a lot of questions in my mind, but I don't have time to think about them so much. In his position, as long as he wears a yellow robe, he is the respect of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and he should act in the style of an emperor!
The army immediately turned around and returned to Bianliang!
The generals who defend the city, Zhongshi Shouxin and Wang Xianqi, have been brothers for many years, and they will provide convenience, and it should not be difficult to enter the city.
Pan Mei has already set off as a vanguard, and Zhao Kuangyin has three chapters of the law, requiring the army not to harm the Empress Dowager Fu, the little emperor, the civil and military officials, and the people of Bianliang.
The past dynasties have mutinies and killings, but Zhao Kuangyin wants to avoid bloodshed as much as possible.
All the qiē is carried out in an orderly manner, and if nothing else, after dawn, you will be able to ascend to the throne and reign over the world.
But Zhao Kuangyin was a little uneasy in his heart, things were in a hurry, his mother, wife and children in the city were ignorant and defenseless, could Fan Zhen and Han Tong let them go?
"Don't worry about the official family, the younger brother has already asked Chu Zhaofu to go into the city to protect the family members of the family!" It was Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother Zhao Kuangyi who spoke.
"Well done, is it just too late?" stepping on the corpses of his mother, wife and children to ascend to the throne is not what Zhao Kuangyin wants.
"Don't worry, don't worry, aren't there still Wang Xianqi and Shi Shouxin in the city, they will definitely care about this matter and take action. The eldest brother is now the Son of Heaven, and God will bless the family! Zhao Kuangyi seems to be confident, calm and calm.
"I hope so!"
The army set off towards Bianliang, and Zhao Kuangyin had to suppress the thoughts in his heart, turn the horse's head, and take the lead.
……
The chaotic sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of Bianliang City, and several out of breath soldiers hurriedly entered the prime minister's mansion.
Half an hour later, Fan Zhen hurried out of the house, and the destination was the mansion of Han Tong, the deputy commander of the guards.
"Zhao Kuangyin is reversed!" Fan Zhen's first sentence when he entered the door was shocking.
"What? Is he really the opposite? Han Tong was shocked and seemed a little incredulous.
Fan Zhen said weakly: "Well, the army mutiny occurred in Chenqiaoyi, and at this moment the army has returned to the capital, it seems that Zhao Kuangyin wants to follow Emperor Taizu!" ”
"I said a long time ago that Zhao Kuangyin has two hearts and will seek to usurp the throne, but my father just doesn't listen, and now I ......" A young man came quickly, angry.
As soon as he saw the iconic hunchback, Fan Zhen recognized that this was Han Wei, the eldest son of Han Tong, who was born with a hunchback, known as the camel. But he is extremely clever and scheming.
"What's the use of talking about that now? What is the top priority? Han Tong regretted not listening to his words, but unfortunately it was too late. Although he is brave and good at fighting, he has an impatient personality and lacks resourcefulness.
Han Wei sighed and said: "The main thing at the moment is to stabilize the city and consolidate the city defense, as long as Zhao Kuangyin's army can't enter the city, the envoys from all over the country can lead the troops to serve the king, but there is a turnaround!"
In this way, please invite Fan Xianggong to enter the palace to report to the Queen Mother and the official family, and stabilize the hundred officials. My father led the guards and immediately took down Shi Shouxin and Wang Xianqi to prevent them from joining forces inside and outside. When the son went to Zhao's house, Zhao Kuangyin's wife, children and mother were still in the city, and they took the hostages, so that he could throw a rat into a trap! ”
"Okay, Ling Lang is really resourceful and witty, let's go our separate ways!" Prime Minister Fan Zhendignified, without the slightest hesitation, immediately adopted Han Wei's strategy!
At this moment, that's the only way!
Han Tong hurriedly went to the barracks, and the hunchbacked Han Wei didn't care about the praise of the prime minister, and hurriedly led people to the Zhao Mansion!
The three tried to make a last-ditch effort to preserve the Later Zhou dynasty.
Surrounded by the front and back, he entered the Taiwei Mansion in an instant, but unfortunately there were only servants and maids in the huge mansion, and none of the main masters were gone.
"Zhao Kuangyin's chaotic ministers and thieves are really premeditated." Although the prophecy was verified, Han Wei did not have the slightest excitement, and his face was extremely gloomy.
When he was disappointed, he learned from the servant that Mrs. Zhao took the family to the Dingli Courtyard to worship the Buddha and did not return.
"Go to the Dingli Temple, go!"
Han Hunchback's eyes were fierce, his expression was hurried, and he turned around and hurried to Dingli Courtyard.
