Volume 3 Iron and Blood Chapter 492 Zhao Gou's Ascension to the Throne (II)
"The number of five-five, the number of five-five..."Wu Qimai listened, and there were words in his mouth. Suddenly, Wu Qimai's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "In the past, my Dajin and Daliao fought a decisive battle, and everyone in the world thought that my Dajin would definitely lose, and in terms of the situation at that time, the odds of victory were even less than one percent. But in the end, my Dajin can still break through Daliao and annihilate a country, relying on the blood 'nature' of my Dajin soldiers. Now that I have at least a five-five chance, why don't I give it a go!? As long as you get the Yan Kingdom, it won't take a few years, and the world will belong to me!! ”
Wu Qimai's words seemed to have a kind of incendiary magic, and he couldn't help but be bold when he was disobedient, and said with emotion: "Your Majesty has such a determination, and my nephew is willing to serve with death!" ”
"Hahaha~~!! Good~~!! Now the most important thing is to prepare for the war in the next two years, and I intend to follow the equipment of the Vultures Iron Floating Slaughter army, and allocate at least 50,000 to you and the two of them. At the same time, if he vigorously builds siege weapons, he will be able to use them when he attacks Yan Kingdom in the future!! Wu Qimai is worthy of a generation of heroes, determined to be sure, and soon had an idea. He didn't listen, but he frowned, and said, "But in this way, in terms of funds..."
"Hehe, you don't have to worry about that. Back then, I had a lot of money in my Dajin captivity and plundered the Liao people, and I have saved a lot of money over the years. For me, these are just things outside my body, and they are nothing compared to the world. Wu Qimai smiled unhurriedly. He didn't listen to it, and admired it very much, so he was willing to give up his family wealth as a funding. The two then made their own analyses, believing that if Dajin killed Yan with all his troops, they would be able to distinguish the winner within two years. As for the Song people, the internal 'strife' lasted for at least a few years, and even if the internal 'strife' was pacified, it was a serious injury to the vitality, and it was difficult to recover in a few years.
So, two years later, the decision to attack Yan was made.
However, he said that Yue Fei, Liu Guangshi and others supported Zhao Gou day and night, non-stop, and were rushing to Bianjing. Who knows, he suddenly met a henchman sent by Li Gang, saying that the emperor's order was on the verge of teaching everyone to rush back as soon as possible. When Zhao Gou heard this, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he immediately led everyone to look at Bianjing and rushed desperately, and finally arrived in Bianjing two days later.
In an emergency, Zhao Gou didn't care too much, galloped straight into the palace, and saw a group of old ministers waiting outside the front hall. Zhao Gou asked anxiously, and heard that Zhao Ji was in the Qiankun Palace, so he hurriedly dismounted and hurried away.
When Zhao Gou rushed to the outside of the Qiankun Palace, he suddenly heard a continuous cry, and the surrounding 'servants', maids, 'women', and concubines all knelt down, and Li Gang could also hear the sound of Li Gang crying. Zhao Gou hurriedly rushed in, and saw that Li Gang and several emperors and concubines were crying bitterly on the edge of the 'bed'.
"Father~~!!! The baby is coming~~!! Zhao Gou knelt on the ground suddenly, crying bitterly, and rushed to his knees.
October of the second year of Kangxi. The emperor of the Song people, Zhao Ji, died, Li Gang led the ministers to announce Zhao Ji's last words before his death, announcing that Zhao Huan was the monarch of the world, but escaped from the battle, and later feared the enemy and secretly made peace with the Jin people, and killed the old marshal of the country's barrier sect.
Zhao Gou ascended the throne on the same day, and Li Gang and a number of old ministers, as well as young generals such as Yue Fei and Liu Guangshi, supported him. A few days later, Han Shizhong rushed back with his troops when he heard the news, and also supported Zhao Gou as the new emperor. Zhao Gou was overjoyed, and after ascending the throne, he prepared for Zhao Ji's funeral on the one hand, and rewarded a number of meritorious heroes on the other. Among them, Han Shizhong was named the generalissimo of the country, Yue Fei was the general of Jinpeng, and Liu Guangshi was the general of the hussars, and his henchmen were rewarded. He also appointed Li Gang as the minister of state, and the rest of the old ministers who supported meritorious service were rewarded together, and the rest of the royal families were rewarded.
As for Zhao Huan, Zhao made him the king of Chu, and Zhending, Xiangyang and other places were all rewarded for him as a place to appease.
However, it is said that when Zhao Gou first ascended to the throne, it was when he was in high spirits, and he led a group of ministers to discuss state affairs day and night, ordered Li Gang and other old ministers to stabilize the society, and ordered Han Shizhong, Yue Fei and other generals to step up the 'drill' training of the army, pacify the 'chaos' in various parts of the country, and strive to 'fine' rule, so as to create a situation of great achievements.
On the other hand, Zhao Huan was furious when he heard that not long after Zhao Ji died of illness, Zhao Gou ascended the throne in Bianjing. Who knows, all the ministers under his command thought that Zhao Huan was gone, and they all had the intention of going to Bianjing.
Zhao Huan lost the hearts of the people, and lost his orthodox position, and overnight, half of his head was white, like crazy. Zhao Huan, who was 'forced' to be frustrated, even sent his henchmen to kill those ministers who 'wanted' to go to Bianjing one by one, and 'made' it really settle in the mansion, and the people were panicked.
On this day, Zhao Huan received the recital from Zhao Gou, and immediately became furious, not only tearing the recital on the spot, but also beheading the envoy sent by Zhao Gou.
"Zhao Gou, you wild seed, dare to take my throne, I and you are incompatible, incompatible~~!!"
Zhao Huan roared, his hair was scattered, like a ghost, His Royal Highness was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, trembling, for fear of 'provoking' Zhao Huan, and did not dare to make a sound. Only Qin Hui's face was as usual, and he said lightly: "Your Majesty, now that the matter has come to an end, you are in a good mood, it is better to be a prince, and you can enjoy the glory and live in your old age." ”
"Hum hum hum ~~!! Ann in her old age?? Qin Hui~!! You don't know my brother's 'sex', he is very deep!! Now he is ostensibly trying to appease me, but secretly he may have already begun to calculate how to kill me!! Zhao Huan sneered and hissed frantically.
Qin Hui shook his head when he saw this, and he also heard in his heart that he felt pity for Zhao Huan, the lost dog, so he comforted him. Zhao Huan was 'wanting' to urgently invite soldiers and horses to crusade against Zhao Gou, but after a few roars, no one in the palace dared to lead the army. Zhao Huan was furious, and even executed several soldiers, and finally had to order his most trusted henchman Qin Hui to lead Zhending Wan's 'elite' soldiers to go to the crusade.
Qin Hui received the order and retreated, and after a brief discussion with several soldiers under his command, he led his troops to set off a few days later. I didn't know that after half a month, there was no news. Just when Zhao Huan was so anxious that he was burning his brows and fidgeting, news suddenly came that Qin Hui's family and the families of several generals under his command fled out of the city last night, and at the same time, Wang Bin, the general of the South Gate, also led the troops to flee.
Zhao Huan suddenly woke up, and when he was furious, he immediately ordered someone to arrest him. Unexpectedly, news came back from the front line, saying that Qin Hui led his troops to take refuge in Zhao Gou. When Zhao Huan heard this, his eyes widened, and he vomited blood in anger on the spot.
At this moment, suddenly there was a loud killing sound outside the hall. The disaster is not a single line, Zhao Huan has not yet come to his senses, and he heard the report of the 'servant' minister, saying that there are still a number of officials in the city who have united together to raise troops to rebel, and at this time they have been killed outside the palace, and the Praetorian Guards can't resist at all, and there are many soldiers who have taken refuge in the enemy. Zhao Huan was so frightened that he suddenly fell to the ground, and when he heard the sound of killing, he hurriedly fled into the back hall.
However, it was said that Zhang Di, the general under Zhao Huan, saw that Zhao Huan had lost the hearts of the people, and 'disorderly' killed innocents and persecuted ministers. Zhao Huan is mediocre and incompetent, and all the clans and surnames in the city hate him. Zhang Di can be described as an echo in the city, quickly led the troops to the palace, but Zhao Huan's figure was missing, and he grabbed a 'waiter' and asked him, and learned that Zhao Huan had fled to the apse, and hurriedly led the troops to rush there.
Zhao Huan just brought a few favorite concubines and a couple, dozens of henchmen, packed up and wanted to escape, but as soon as he came out of the 'door', he met the rebels who came from Zhang Di.
"Faint Gentleman!! Don't you want to die soon!! Zhang Di shouted, walked like flying, and the guards who went to resist were all cut open by Zhang Di's 'chaotic' knife. Zhao Huan hurriedly pulled out his sword, and suddenly heard a loud roar, Zhang Di had already rushed over, and his hand was up and down. Before Zhao Huan could react, he was hacked to death by Zhang Di.
Some ministers saw it in their eyes, and there was no change in 'color', originally everyone said that they would only arrest Zhao Huan, and then 'hand' it over to Zhao Gou for disposal, but they didn't expect Zhang Di to suddenly make a move and kill Zhao Huan at once.
Zhang Di looked at Zhao Huan's corpse coldly, grinned, and soon moved his eyes, staring at the two children who were crying in fright and were being held by Zhao Huan's favorite concubine.
It turned out that Zhang Di secretly received a secret letter from Zhao Gou. Zhao Gou secretly ordered him to kill Zhao Huan and the two children to prevent future troubles. For Zhao Gou's ruthlessness, Zhang Di not only did not feel ruthless, but felt that Zhao Gou was decisive and had the style of an emperor!
"Don't blame me!! If you want to blame it, you are always to blame!! Zhang Di grinned, the two concubines seemed to notice something, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly hugged the child, pulled out their 'legs' and fled. Zhang Di hurried to catch up, first chased one, a sword pierced through his back, even the child in his arms pierced together, and then quickly looked at the remaining one to chase, a sword first cut off the head of the concubine, the child fell to the ground with the corpse, screaming and begging for mercy. Zhang Di ignored it, 'Yin' ruthlessly slashed Zhao Huan's other child to death.
Looking at such a bloody scene, those ministers and people of the clan did not change their 'color'. Many people understand in their hearts that the reason why Zhang Di dared to kill the people of the royal family so recklessly must be Zhao Gou's orders, otherwise Zhang Di would never dare to do this.
Two days later, in the Bianjing Golden Palace, Qin Hui knelt on the ground and bowed respectfully: "Weichen Qin Hui, knock to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor!" ”
"Haha, Qin Aiqing get up quickly, if you hadn't realized the righteousness and led the troops to surrender this time, I wouldn't have been able to calm Zhao Huan's 'chaos' so quickly!"
Zhao Gou, who was sitting on the dragon seat, could be described as a 'spring' wind proudly, full of spirit, and laughed.
Qin Hui hurriedly replied: "This is all Your Majesty's Long Weihao', and Zhao Huan and His Majesty are fighting each other like hitting a stone with an egg." Weichen once strongly advised him to conform to the will of heaven and not to fight with His Majesty's brothers, otherwise he would be punished for going against the sky. Unexpectedly, Zhao Huan not only refused to listen to the persuasion of Weichen, but also asked Weichen to lead the troops to fight, Weichen was unwilling, when leading the army that day, he saw a golden light in the direction of Bianjing, accompanied by the howl of the dragon, like a miracle, all the armies thought that the Great Song Dynasty Zhenlong was in place, and had no intention of fighting. After careful consideration, Wei Chen led his troops to join him, hoping to assist Zhenlong around, even if he was a small official, Wei Chen was also satisfied. ”
Qin Hui said that he knew that Zhao Gou had always been 'superstitious'. When Zhao Gou heard this, he was overjoyed and laughed again and again.
"Hahahaha~~!! Qin Aiqing has made a great contribution this time, how can I let you be a small official, this chills the hearts of the righteous people in the world!? Well, Qin Aiqing has made meritorious contributions to the 'chaos', and his loyalty and righteousness are unparalleled, I will appoint you as the loyal and righteous marquis of Dingguo and continue to serve as Fu Zhi!! ”
As soon as Zhao Gou said this, everyone in the hall had no change. Li Gang hurriedly stepped out, shouting at the top of his voice: "Your Majesty must not!" Qin Hui is a person with a deep city, and in the past, he repeatedly flattered the Jinren. The death of Zong Laoshuai may even have something to do with this person. Your Majesty, why not!! ”
Before Li Gang finished speaking, Zhao Gou on the dragon throne raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "Hey!! Qin Aiqing is a loyal and righteous person, and when he advocated discussing with Jin, he was just 'forced' by the times, how can it be strange? I know that Qin Aiqing once offended you Xiangguo, but as an official, you must have a tolerant heart. ”
