Shi Chong pointed to the pool of blood on the ground and Zhao Laosi lying in a pool of blood, and he said to Zhao Xu with a sigh: "Misfortune and fortune are unwarranted, whether the prince obediently becomes your King Zheng, or whether he wants to follow King Qi, it is all in your thoughts." ”

Zhao Xu shook his head, and said with a resolute expression: "Stone thief, this palace is the crown prince, it will be at your mercy, don't be delusional anymore." ”

Shi Chong thought about it, this kid was really stunned, maybe he really had to put the sword on his neck, so he would be obedient. Shi Chong said: "Zhao Xu, I'll call you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again, Your Royal Highness the Prince, you also know that I am the most reluctant to be ruthless to women and children, but if Your Highness repeatedly forces me, don't blame me for being unkind." ”

After Shi Chong finished speaking, he took the cold and shining sword from the hands of one of his subordinates and put it on Zhao Xu's slender neck.

Zhao Xu didn't even look at Shi Chong, he closed his eyes, just didn't speak, and didn't pick up the edict in Shi Chong's other hand.

There was a big storm condensed in Shi Chong's heart, he now knew that he had always underestimated this ten-year-old Zhao Xu, this kid's courage was really different, no wonder Zhao Laosi just said that if Zhao Xu was a few years older, he would support Zhao Xu's succession.

Finally, the storm blew, and Shi Yuan, who was furious, stabbed his sword at a little eunuch who had been standing next to Zhao Xu. Suddenly, the blood flashed, and the splash of blood wet Zhao Xu's face. Shi Chong was still angry, he put the sword on Zhao Xu's neck again, and his eyes were surging with anger, as if as long as Zhao Xu shook his head, the manic storm in his heart was about to swallow Zhao Xu.

However, Zhao Xu still didn't say a word, closed his eyes tightly, and shook his head.

Shi Chong's sword was very close, and at the moment when Zhao Xu shook his head, he saw blood oozing from his blade. He couldn't hold it anymore, and when he raised the seven-star sword, he was about to turn the sword into a knife and slash at Zhao Xu's neck, which looked like it would break as soon as it was broken.

"Slow!"

At this time, a burst of shouts suddenly occurred under the main hall.

Everyone looked and found that it was none other than Zhao Xu's uncle, Yongwang Zhao Lao'er.

Shi Chong put away the sword in his hand, and he looked at Zhao Lao Er with a look of surprise. Zhao Lao Er slowly walked in front of Shi Chong, and he said, "The prince doesn't want to read it. Then let this king read it. ”

Shi Chongxi said: "Really? ”

He knew that Gao Tao had fled, this Zhao Lao Er was one of the most respected people in the Zhao and Song clans, and if he was willing to read the edict of inauguration, the edict of Zen would already make his usurpation legitimate.

Zhao Xu opened his eyes, he looked at Zhao Lao Er with mixed feelings, he knew that Zhao Lao Er was to save himself before he promised Shi Chong to read out the two edicts in Shi Chong's hands like child's play.

Zhao Lao Er also glanced at Zhao Xu, he nodded at Zhao Xu, his eyes were full of expectation, he wanted to say to Zhao Xu. Let yourself read the edict, let yourself bear the charge of betraying the Great Song Dynasty, as long as Zhao Xu can live, there is a possibility of restoring the society of the country.

But Zhao Lao Er didn't say. He knew that the intelligent Zhao Xu should understand the meaning of the nod and gaze he had just made.

Of course Zhao Xu understood, but he didn't want Zhao Lao Er to suffer the infamy for himself at this time, so he wanted to refuse, but Zhao Lao Er saw Zhao Xu's expression. He blocked Zhao Xu's small mouth with his hand, and he said: "Your Highness, needless to say, the minister is a guilty person!" ”

Zhao Lao'er's body of treatment for crime certainly refers to the previous conspiracy with Zhao Laosi to usurp the throne. But the civil and military officials in the main hall stared at Zhao Lao Er's eyes with pity. Yes, they feel that Zhao Laoer is pitiful, the previous usurpation of the throne was obviously used by Zhao Laosi, and now they have to bear the responsibility for Zhao Xu, and they have to suffer from Shi Chong's life and death threat.

Who would let an emperor of his homeland live too long? Therefore, everyone knows that if Zhao Lao Er read these two edicts, he would not only have to bear the responsibility of destroying the country, but also face the persecution of Shi Chong soon after.

"No!"

When Zhao Xu borrowed Zhao Lao'er to reach out to receive the edict in Shi Chong's hand, he wanted to stop Zhao Lao'er from reading the edict.

Shi Chong had obviously lost interest in Zhao Xu, he waved his hand and ordered left and right: "Pull this disobedient Hou down and tie me up!" ”

In this way, Zhao Xu changed from King Zheng to a disobedient marquis in an instant.

This is the title that Zhao Kuangyin gave to the great poet Li Yu, the king of the Later Tang Dynasty, obviously, what Shi Chong wanted in his heart was to repay his body with his own way, and the debts owed by his ancestors would be repaid by his descendants. Shi Chong, who was born in the army, felt that there was nothing wrong with this, since he was about to become the emperor, he naturally could seal whoever he wanted, and he could seal whatever kind of official he wanted.

However, some civil and military officials in the main hall found from Shi Chong's moodiness and impetuousness that this Shi Chong would definitely not become a big weapon, such as Cai Qu, Cai Jing, such as Fan Chunren, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, they were secretly accumulating strength one by one, and they thought that if they left this Long Live Hall today, they must find a way to take Shi Chong.

However, no one knows if they will be able to get out of the Banzai Hall today, although everyone wants to be able to leave the Banzai Hall standing up.

At this time, someone actually crossed the high threshold from the outside and entered the Long Live Palace, and the person with a phoenix crown and a golden shirt was the Queen Mother.

She walked into the Long Live Hall with her head held high, glanced at Zhao Lao Er and Zhao Xu, and said, "Children and grandchildren have suffered this great disaster, how can the mourning family bear to run away alone?" ”

Li Dang, who was hiding in the dark, waiting for Zhao Ying to move in to rescue the soldiers, saw Gao Taotao coming in, and secretly screamed in his heart, he knew that Gao Taotao was saying to himself when he stepped into the door just now.

Gao Taotao didn't want to listen to Li Kang's arrangement, and kept hiding in a hidden place and didn't show up.

It turned out that after Gao Tao hid behind the shrine, he had been paying attention to Li Kang's every move, and she found that Li Dang had not left the Banzai Palace, but was waving a few times in the high place with something brighter than the best bronze mirror, and then sneaked back into the Banzai Hall.

Gao Taotao didn't know that Li Dang was holding a glass mirror made by himself, he was waving the mirror to send an appointment message to Zhao Ying, Li Dang was lurking in the palace after getting a reply message from Zhao Ying, he had promised Gao Taotao to protect Zhao Xu, and he wanted to show up to protect Zhao Xu when Zhao Ying led people to launch a general attack.

Zhao Ying went to the Privy Council early in the morning, and in the name of Zhao Xu, he obtained a tiger talisman from there that could mobilize 200,000 forbidden troops outside Bianjing, which was the last hole card for Li Kang and Zhao Xu.

They were thinking that no matter which method Zhao Lao Er and Zhao Lao Si used to usurp the throne, it would be whose fist was harder in the end.

The military system of the Song Dynasty was strict, and there was no tiger talisman for the Privy Council to transfer troops, even Shi Chong, who was the commander of the forbidden army in front of the palace, could not dispatch a soldier or a general, so most of the hundreds of soldiers of the Royal Forest Army he brought to the Long Live Hall this time were his henchmen who he secretly cultivated.

Li Dang learned from the light message that Zhao Ying had successfully transferred the generals and was on the way back, and he decided to sneak back to the Long Live Palace because he was determined in his heart.

However, Gao Taotao, who didn't know what was going on, found that Li Kang did not go to move the rescue soldiers, but sneaked back into the Long Live Palace, and the little hope in her heart burst like a soap bubble one by one, and disappeared in an instant, she felt that she was overestimating Li Kang, after all, he was just a doctor, even if he went out, what kind of shrimp soldiers and crab generals could he move?

Thinking that Zhao Xu might be humiliated in the Long Live Palace, and thinking that Shi Chong might succeed in ascending the throne with the strength of his hundreds of Imperial Forest Army, Gao Taotao finally couldn't help but go back and take a look, she was originally a woman who felt super good about herself, she didn't believe that a few soldiers of the forbidden army could set off any big waves, she decided to use her prestige and power to suppress Shi Chong and those rebel generals of the Royal Forest Army, which was also the last hole card she thought she had.
