Chapter 174

At this time, Zhao Kuangyin, who met with his henchmen, learned the true situation and immediately ordered a pursuit, but at this time, the two groups of people were already more than ten miles away.

Zhao Kuangyin had no choice but to order to chase after him, but he also knew that there was little hope.

Fortunately, Bianjing City had opened its arms and was waiting for Zhao Kuangyin, so Zhao Kuangyin's mood began to improve.

Ordering the rebels to be stationed outside the city, Zhao Kuangyin took his personal guards and a cadre of generals into the city of Bianjing, which had just changed the emperor for less than half a year.

Before entering the city, Zhao Kuangyin ordered the generals under his command: "If you dare to rob the people in Beijing, hurt the prime minister, and endanger the young lord of the Empress Dowager, I will raze his nine clans!" ”

Of course everyone agreed, what is this, when Zhao Kuangyin becomes the emperor, he can be rich and noble for life, who would do that stupid thing?

The deputy commander of the guard Ma Bujun, who was in charge of guarding Bianliang City, Han Tong was Chai Rong's confidant, and he heard that Zhao Kuangyin was going to come back to be the emperor, where was he willing to follow.

Ran back to the house, told his wife that there was a mutiny in the small city, and then prepared to command the defense of the forbidden army.

But at this time, Zhao Kuangyin's general Wang Yansheng had already led a small force to break into Bianliang, and the first thing Wang Yansheng did when he entered the city was to enter the Han Mansion and kill Han Tong and his wife Xiaoyi, who were preparing to mobilize the forbidden army.

Han Tong also became the only general who died in the Chai family in the fall of Kaifeng, and it seems that Chai Rong really didn't hurt him in vain.

Zhao Kuangyin was supported by the three armies into the city and ascended to the Mingde Gate.

Before he could drink his saliva, his brothers took Prime Minister Fan Zhen and Wang Pu over, Zhao Kuangyin knew that Fan Zhen was famous, and he didn't dare to go over it, so he howled at Fan Qian: "I'm sorry for Emperor Sejong!" I didn't mean to do that, they forced me. Wronged! ”

Fan Zhen has known Zhao Kuangyin for more than ten years, and knows that this person is not ambitious, and he doesn't believe him.

Du Yu next to him, Luo Yanzhui, saw that Fan Zhen did not move. Pointing at Fan Qian, he shouted: "Bye! ”

Fan Zhen and others were afraid of death, so they had to bow three times and bow nine times to this Emperor Zhao to determine the distinction between monarchs and ministers.

At this time, Zhao Kuangyin learned that it was the Empress Dowager Xiaofu, Chai Zongxun and Li Yunbu who went out from the west and north gates, and he was in a hurry, and they fled, especially Chai Zongxun's escape. This is a curse for yourself.

Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly secretly ordered the army to pursue in the west and north directions overnight, and Chai Zongxun must not be allowed to hide on the border of the Ming Kingdom south of Xuzhou.

Due to an accident, the closest army to Simon was Zheng En's department. When Zhao Kuangyin got the report and knew that it was Zheng Enbu who was chasing Chai Zongxun, Yang Tian sighed, he knew. Chai Zongxun can't catch it back.

Zhao Kuangyin knows Zheng En too well. Sensei said that Zheng En and Chai Rong are also sworn brothers, even if they are not, looking at the past feelings, Zheng En will not really bring Chai Zongxun back to Kaifeng.

Zhao Kuangyin could only spill his frustration to Li Yun, who fled north.

Poor Li Yun had already escaped far away, but because he was not prepared in advance, he rushed to the bank of the Yellow River and was blocked by the boiling river, where did he go to fight so many boats for a while? But the pursuers gradually approached, and in desperation. Li Yun hesitated again and again, so he had to break his arm to survive. I plan to lead only a few hundred guards to cross the river first.

But before Li Yun and others got on the boat to cross the river, Luo Yangui led the pursuers to the bank of the Yellow River.

Li Yun saw that the matter had come to this, and in order to save the lives of his soldiers, he could only choose to surrender.

After Luo Yangui made such a great achievement, he led the army to escort Li Yun back to Kaifeng.

At this time, Zhao Kuangyin was already impatiently preparing to ascend the throne and become emperor, and Zhao Kuangyin believed that only by quickly becoming emperor and creating a fait accompli would not give the Ming State an opportunity to intervene.

When he learned the news of Li Yun's capture, Zhao Kuangyin sent an envoy to add a letter order and implied that Li Yun had entered the court.

Li Yun wanted to refuse to accept the order at that time, but was dissuaded by his confidants and had to bow down reluctantly.

When the envoy was promoted and played wine and music, Li Yun suddenly hung the portrait of Chai Rong, the Taizu of the Later Zhou Dynasty, on the wall, crying bitterly.

The envoy told Zhao Kuangyin about Li Yun's words and deeds, Zhao Kuangyin was furious in his heart, but he ignored it on his face, in order to better appease the ministers of the Zhou State, Zhao Kuangyin could only write down the matter in advance, and wait for the autumn to settle the account.

Zhao Kuangyin did not guess wrong, Zheng En led the army to catch up with Chai Zongxun and others in Shangqiu, but under the reflection of the pear blossom with rain of the Empress Dowager Xiaofu and Chai Zongxun's frightened expression, Zheng En finally ordered the soldiers to get out of the way and let the group continue to go west.

January 21.

After only two days of preparation, the anxious Zhao Kuangyin pretended to be in the Chongyuan Palace, was crowned, and accepted the civil and military kneeling and three shouts headed by Fan Zhen on the main hall: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”。

The founding name of the country was "Great Song Dynasty", and the seventh year of Zhou Xiande was changed to the first year of Song Jianlong.

At this time, Chai Zongxun and others were escorted by the Ming army and rushed from Xuzhou to Jinling Mansion.

After showing Chai Rong's edict and handwritten letter, the Empress Dowager Xiaofu acquiesced in the matter of the Zen position, after all, the Zhou State has now been stolen by Zhao Kuangyin, and if you want to recapture it, it is probably impossible to rely on the Empress Dowager Xiaofu herself and the seven-year-old Chai Zongxun.

Rather than this, it is better to be a favor.

It was also on this day, the 21st of January.

The little emperor Chai Zongxun wrote the edict of Zen by the descendants of the Empress Dowager of Xiaofu, and the edict said: "Born to steam the people, the priest of the tree, the second emperor pushes the public and the Zen throne, and the three kings take the time to revolution, and its pole is also one." To the end of the boy, the family is not made, the people's hearts have gone, and the country has a home. The emperor of the Ming Kingdom of Shierming is 100 miles, with the posture of the saint, with the strategy of divine martial arts, the ancestor of Zuo, the emperor of the sky, the arrest of the Shizong, the merit of the Lu, the east and the west, and the achievements of the people. Heaven and earth ghosts and gods enjoy virtue, and the rumors and prison lawsuits are attached to the benevolence, and the people should obey the heavens, and the Fayao Zen Shun is relieved, and they are guests, woohoo admiration! Fear the destiny of heaven. ”

Baili Wuji got Chai Rong's edict and Chai Zongxun's edict, and since then, the door to the north has been opened. Baili Wuji ordered 200,000 new troops to enter Xuzhou on the same day to prepare to defeat Zhao Kuangyin.

Baili Wuji did not divide his troops, nor did he order the new army of Baili Yibu north of Yanyun to go south.

Because Baili Wuji knew that as soon as Chai Rong died, Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, and in the face of the new regime, those who knew the times in the old ministers of the Later Zhou Dynasty bowed their heads to the ministers, but there were also those who were unwilling to be at the mercy of others.

Especially the generals who held military power like Zhao Kuangyin in the past.

After Chai Rong's death, how can Zhao Kuangyin be the only person with imperial ambitions? It's just that Zhao Kuangyin took the lead and made others lose their chances, but it didn't dispel their thoughts, they were still waiting for the opportunity to realize their imperial dreams.

Zhao Kuangyin faced the Ming army from Xuzhou, and there were only two ways to do, one was to hold on; The second is to attack. There is no second way.

Zhao Kuangyin's ascension to the throne at this time has already cut off his own back road, and this battle can only be won, not defeated, and if it is defeated, several festivals and towns around will be scattered in a hurry. (To be continued......)
