Chapter Two Hundred and Three: Metamorphosis
The war in Bianliang City, Kaifeng Prefecture, was full of ups and downs, the wind and clouds changed color, and the situation changed so quickly that it was dizzying, completely beyond any common sense speculation; And Zhao Gou, the king of Kang, who was hundreds of miles away, was in a different situation.
King Kang Zhao Gou now lives in the official residence of Zongze in Cizhou, although the use is far less luxurious than in Bianliang City, but his life is quite stable.
Jiang Zhenzi had already bid farewell to Zhao Gou and rushed back to Bianliang City; Zong Ze's hospitality was quite courteous, but after all, he was old and old-fashioned, far less flexible than Jiang Zhenzi, and the result was that he didn't speculate and said half a sentence.
This situation made King Kang Zhao Gou feel a deep hesitation, loneliness and helplessness.
This feeling of wandering, loneliness and helplessness began a year ago, after Li Gang and Wu Min teamed up to put the crown prince Zhao Huan on the throne of the emperor.
Regarding this matter, King Kang Zhao Gou has always been worried: since he wants to elect a new emperor, why do Li Gang and Wu Min not elect themselves, the nominal leaders of the Yuanyou Party, but the waste prince who has no opinions.
During this time, I stayed with Jiang Zhenzi, saw the various methods of this chief green forest hero in Bianliang City, and heard about many rules and deeds in the rivers and lakes.
The most important thing is to hear Jiang Zhenzi use the methods of the rivers and lakes to explain the various actions in the imperial court, including why the Yuanyou party supported the crown prince Zhao Huan to ascend the throne and drove Huizong to step down, including why Qinzong asked him to go to the envoy barracks, and why the army of the original planter and Yao Gu was defeated by Wanyan Wushu under the advantage, and so on.
Even if it can't be said to be a sudden opening, it is obvious that now Cizhou, the king of Kang, is in the world. Compared to Zhao Gou, King of Kang in Bianliang City. It's definitely a judgment of two people.
King Kang Zhao Gou was originally a very smart person. After more than a year of experience, coupled with Jiang Zhenzi's inadvertent allocation, today's Kang Wang Zhao Gou has been reborn and reborn
In the first few days after arriving in Cizhou, although he did not explicitly say that he was a deserter, the reactions of the surrounding crowd, including the attitude of Zong Ze and those pro-guards. still faintly stabbed Zhao Gou's heart.
In the face of a national disaster, escaping from the battle, no matter how you explain it, is a shameful thing; Because of this, after King Kang Zhao went to Cizhou, he became silent and rarely spoke.
After all, he is also a prince, King Kang Zhao Gou did not speak, and others did not dare to ask. Of course, it is inevitable that the people around you will point fingers.
And yet even today. In the city of Bianliang, he sent a letter from Emperor Qinzong with his own handwriting, and gave Zhao Gou, the king of Kang, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses. Let Zhao Gou go to King Qin's rescue as soon as possible.
This can solve all the problems of King Kang and Zhao Gou.
Not only have the previous actions become natural, but every future action can be said to be acting under orders; As long as Emperor Qinzong does not give a second will, King Kang Zhao Gou can dominate one side.
Of course, Kang Wang Zhao conceived more than just that
A few hours ago, he was a prince who resisted the decree and fled, but just by virtue of a letter from Emperor Qinzong, King Kang Zhao Gou was transformed into a big man who responded to all calls, was supported by all the people, and held the military power in the world, even if he was only a single commander for the time being.
What followed was a change in the attitude of the people around him towards him: from the contempt and indiscriminate handling at the beginning, to the infinite obedience and reverence for himself now.
From these people's submissiveness, King Kang Zhao Gou felt a kind of pleasure of being on top, life and death by me, and controlling the overall situation.
All of this is because of a handwritten letter from Emperor Qinzong.
And this Emperor Qinzong, who has lived with King Kang Zhao Gou in Bianjing for many years, how wasteful and unbearable he is, as the ninth brother, Zhao Gou understands it most clearly in his heart.
The emperor's authority once again hit the heart of King Kang Zhao Gou
Since leaving Yuejiazhuang, King Kang's mind began to change significantly.
According to Zhou Dong's judgment of the hexagram, Bianliang City will definitely be broken by the Jin soldiers, not only the country will be destroyed, but even the two emperors Huizong and Qinzong will become prisoners.
At this time, Song Huizong's other children and grandchildren were still trapped in Bianliang City; If this judgment is correct, Zhao Gou is the only prince who can escape the capture of the Jin soldiers, and the only member of the royal family who is qualified to inherit and continue the Zhao and Song regimes.
To tell the truth, because his mother came from a humble background, according to the normal order, Zhao Gou did not have the slightest chance to ascend to the emperor's throne.
However, now in troubled times, the distance from the emperor's throne is so close, and the path to the emperor's throne is so specific, how can you make King Kang Zhao Gou not be moved.
In addition, with Emperor Qinzong's appointment of the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, the orthodox status of King Kang Zhao Gou has been further confirmed.
Mixed feelings are no longer enough to describe the current inner changes of King Kang Zhao Gou.
It's a pity that there are no confidants around to give advice, let alone share the secrets in your heart.
Zong Ze? This stubborn old man only thinks about how to defeat the Jin soldiers and enter Beijing to save the driver; Yue Fei? has too close relations with Li Gang and Zong Ze and others, and his position is unclear; Others? There is no one else left.
Today's Kang Wang Zhao Gou has learned to keep his thoughts and secrets in his heart.
Because of this, that feeling of loneliness and helplessness has always hovered in the heart of King Kang Zhao Gou
It was not only King Kang Zhao Gou who felt the change, but also the ordinary people of Bianliang City, Kaifeng Prefecture.
Like the Celestial Empire, Tokyo Bianliang Castle is one of the richest cities in the country.
The residents of Bianliang City, Tokyo, are the richest people in the country, and can even be said to be the richest in the world, and they have a lot of money, food, and real estate.
Because of this, when it was just learned that the city gate had been breached and the Jin soldiers were about to enter the city, there was an atmosphere of despair in Bianliang City.
It's over, and the savages, covered in the smell of sheep, have rushed into the city; I heard that they like to eat human flesh, but I don't know if they eat it when it is cooked? Or was it eaten alive?
Out of unfamiliarity with Jin Bing and contempt from the bottom of his heart, all kinds of rumors spread in the streets and alleys of Bianliang City, and the more they spread, the more terrible and outrageous they became.
Surprisingly, the army of Jin Bing did not enter the inner city, but was only stationed in the outer city.
In addition, Jin Bing actually sent people to post notices everywhere, saying that a military order had been issued not to kill, plunder, or harass ordinary people's homes; Of course, the list also said that for the discredited Zhao and Song royal families and those big officials, they are not within the scope of these three nos.
What's even more interesting is that some of the soldiers who killed and plundered in the vicinity of the outer city were captured by the personal guards of Marshal Jin Bing, which proved to be the forbidden army of the Song Dynasty, and was also escorted by Jin soldiers to parade through the streets.
For a time, the people in Bianliang City were surging in sentiment, not only did their favorability of Jin Bing rise sharply, but also many idle people became the leading party of Jin Bing, and even specially ambushed officials of the Song Dynasty
