Yesterday was a waste, and the past day was a lot of hardship. How many broken dreams have been broken, and the old mountains and rivers are not famous, where is the enemy country?

Today is scorching, and the bow is carved down. Yangma Chen Qiaopo, Jin Xi shines in the yellow robe, and the homeland is also the homeland.

The book was picked up, Zhao Kuangyin, under the leadership of Zhao Pu, led the army to walk on the road at night, and caught the sleeping Southern Tang generals Huangfu Huicang and Yao Feng by surprise.

Zhao Pu said: "Although Tang is our enemy country, the people are not guilty. What's more, you have the great ambition of reunifying the Central Plains, why do you still distinguish between the enemy and us so clearly? The royal road is nothing more than the word 'benevolence', please think twice! ”

"Makes sense! If you are not afraid of hard work, this case will be tried by you! Zhao Kuangyin felt that what Zhao Pu said was very reasonable, so he handed over the matter to him.

Zhao Pu readily agreed, interrogated, and found that most of them were just ordinary people and did not have the heart to join the army, so they reported to Zhao Kuangyin, so except for the evidence that was conclusive, the rest were released, and the people were very happy and praised Zhao Kuangyin for his generosity and benevolence.

From then on, Zhao Kuangyin believed that Zhao Pu was prescient and would discuss with him no matter what problems he encountered. Zhao Pu is also extraordinarily loyal, knows everything, and says everything.

Zhao Kuangyin asked Zhao Pu privately: "Since leaving Jiangnan, there has been no news of my family, and I don't know what the situation is now?" ”

Zhao Pu said: "The old Tang King has passed away, and now the new monarch is in power, and your family is fine. By the way, it is said that Miss Murong Ningyan of Shui Yunjian has a deep affection for you, Brother Xiao, after you left, she went out with her brother to look for you, and was designed by the new emperor to arrest the two brothers and sisters into the palace at the checkpoint. ”

"What? How did the new emperor know about this? Could it be that the Xiao family really committed a big crime? In order to find me, you can even involve the Murong brothers and sisters? ”

"It's just because the new emperor likes the smoke girl very much, and of course he knows her whereabouts well. Brother Xiao, don't worry, you just arrested them back to the palace, not in prison. ”

"But how did the emperor know Miss Ningyan?"

"My Fair Lady, what a gentleman! It is said that the emperor fell in love with the girl Ning Yan before he ascended the throne, and ran to the water and clouds every day. By the way, Brother Xiao, you know, it's the one who fights against you. ”

"What? Li Gongzi is the current emperor? How did you learn about this? Xiao Yixuan was really surprised.

Zhao Pu said with an exaggerated face: "This matter has long been spread throughout Jinling City, who doesn't know?" ”

Xiao Yixuan was stunned, as if he suddenly realized, Zhao Pu continued: "Emperor Tang thoroughly investigated the case of the Xiao family in order to do what he liked, and found that it was indeed an unjust case, so he pardoned the Xiao family for innocence, but it was rumored that Xiao Yixuan had been buried in the sinkhole, which really made the smoke girl suffer for a while. However, it is said that the emperor is very good at pleasing the girl who smokes, and now he has been sealed. ”

"It's despicable! Wait and see! When Xiao Yixuan heard this, he faintly guessed the purpose of this circular. Immediately angry and angry, his teeth itched with hatred, and his fists clenched and rattled.

Zhao Kuangyin, who finally calmed down, immediately asked Zhao Pu to arrange to pick up his family to settle down in Zhou, in order to avoid people's eyes and ears, the whole family changed their surname to Zhao, and arranged for his younger brother to also come to the barracks, under the pseudonym Zhao Guangyi.

In the next battle of Purple Mountain, Zhao Kuangyin performed even more heroically, turning the pain of losing Murong Ningyan and the hatred of the person who took his love into the motivation and strength to kill the enemy, and won the battle.

When the class teacher returned to the camp, Lord Zhou was ill, and Zhao Kuangyin went to greet Lord Zhou's bedroom in front of the royal couch, and then talked about military affairs.

Lord Zhou said: "Aiqing is fighting bravely on the front line to kill the enemy, I already know it, I originally wanted to take this opportunity to pacify the Liao State, but I couldn't afford to be sick again, and missed the opportunity, how is this good?" ”

"In Weichen's view, it should be that the will of heaven has not yet been extinguished, so he made His Majesty sick. If His Majesty acts in accordance with the heavens and lets them go first, Weichen thinks that the heavens will definitely bless him, and His Majesty's body will naturally get better. ”

Lord Zhou thought for a while before saying: "You are right, then I will return to the court for the time being, Zhao Aiqing will send orders to the soldiers and horses everywhere, and I will set off tomorrow!" ”

After Zhao Kuangyin retreated, he ordered Li Chongjin, Sun Xingyou and others to be transferred back to prepare to return to the court.

The next day, Lord Zhou ordered Waqiao Pass to be changed to Xiongzhou, and ordered Han Lingkun to stay behind; Yijin Pass was changed to Bazhou, and Chen Sirang was ordered to stay; Then he set off by car, and Zhao Kuangyin and others returned south with him.

On the way, Lord Zhou's condition improved slightly, so he took out the paperwork and reviewed it. Suddenly a wooden board fell out of the document, about three feet long, with five big characters on it, "Check to be the Son of Heaven", Lord Zhou suddenly felt strange, and couldn't help but be suspicious, could it be that Zhang Yongde had the intention of seeking power and usurping the throne?

After returning to Daliang, Lord Zhou immediately dismissed Zhang Yongde. Zhang Yongde's wife was Guo Wei's daughter, and the Zhou lord was worried that he was plotting against him, so he dismissed him from his post and replaced him with Zhao Kuangyin as the inspector in front of the palace and concurrently served as the inspector of the school.

When Prime Minister Fan Zhen and others saw that the Lord of Zhou was ill, they wrote a letter requesting the canonization of the crown prince, and the Lord of Zhou set up Zongxun, who was only seven years old, as the king of Liang.

Within a few days, Lord Zhou's condition was getting worse day by day, so he summoned Fan Zhen and others into the palace, and asked them to assist the prince well, and said: "Master Hanlin Wang Shu is my old friend, if I can't afford to be sick, let him come in as prime minister." ”

Fan Zhen and the others agreed on the surface, and when the ministers left the palace, they discussed it privately, and Fan Zhen said: "Wang Shu is just a drunkard, how can he be the prime minister, it must be the emperor who said casually, we don't have to obey, don't spread it." ”

"Fan Xiang is polite, everyone listens to Fan Xiang." The crowd echoed.

That night, the Zhou lord died, Fan Zhang Luoliang Wang Zongxun ascended the throne on the same day, Yue Kuangyin was appointed to return to the German army, and the school captain and the palace were inspected. The deputy capital was inspected by Murong Yanzhao, a close friend of Mo who had a close relationship with Zhao Kuangyin.

It's almost the New Year in a flash, and on this day, an urgent report suddenly came from Zhenzhou and Dingzhou: Liu Jun, the lord of the Han Dynasty, and the Liao soldiers jointly invaded, and the border was in an emergency! Fan Zhen saw that the young master Zongxun was just a child, he could only play, and he knew how to lead troops to fight.

So Fan Zhen discussed with the ministers: "The old man thinks that Zhao Kuangyin is resourceful, brave and good at fighting, let him be the commander, and the deputy is Murong Yanzhao is extremely loyal and brave, let him be the vanguard, and then let the generals of each town go north together, and let Zhao Kuangyin dispatch him, he will be able to turn the danger into a disaster, what do you think?" ”

As soon as Fan Qian's words came out, he was unanimously approved by the ministers.

On the second day, Zhao Kuangyin set off with his troops, and when he came to Chenqiaoyi, he saw that it was getting late, so he ordered to set up camp and leave the next day.

After setting up the camp tent, someone saw a commander named Miao Xun, standing alone outside the camp and looking up at the sky, so he stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Miao, what are you looking at?" Is there any vision in this heaven? ”

This person knows astronomy, can predict wind and clouds, thunder and lightning, and can also say what time to add family disasters, so the army calls him Mr. Miao. Mr. Miao saw that this person was Zhao Kuangyin's henchman Chu Zhaofu, so he pointed to the sunset in the west and said:

"Have you ever seen two suns in the sky?"

Chu Zhaofu observed carefully, and sure enough, he saw that there was a sun under the sun, rubbing against each other, and melting into a black light. After a while, one of the suns sank, but the other shot a dazzling light, surrounded by purple clouds, and this sun stayed for a long time before setting down.

Chu Zhaofu was very surprised when he saw this celestial phenomenon, so he asked Miao Xun: "Mr. Miao, is this a bad omen or a good omen?" ”

Miao Xun lowered his voice and said: "You are the person who checks, the old man might as well tell you directly, this is called the Mandate of Heaven, the sun that sets first represents the Great Zhou, and the sun that sets down later represents the inspection." ”

"And when will it be fulfilled?"

"The heavens have appeared, and they are right in front of us." Miao Xun stroked his beard and said.

Chu Zhaofu couldn't help but return to the camp tent excitedly, and couldn't help but tell the soldiers about this sky vision, and immediately spread ten, ten to hundred, and the entire military camp spread.

Gao Huaide, the commander of the capital, first proposed: "The little emperor is young and ignorant, even if we sacrifice our lives and die on the battlefield, no one knows. It's better to comply with the will of heaven, set up a spot inspection for the Son of Heaven, and then march north, what do you think? ”

"What Gao Gong said is very true, let's act according to the plan." All the soldiers nodded in agreement.

Li Chuyun, the capital of the Ya, has always been a safe person, and also suggested: "It's best to make this matter clear first, but fortunately, Zhao Guangyi, the younger brother of the inspection, is also in the army, let's make it clear to him first, and then let him persuade the inspection." Everyone said that it was good, so they invited Zhao Guangyi to discuss together.

Zhao Guangyi said: "This matter is not trivial, let's discuss it with Zhao Pu first before making a decision." Then he told Zhao Pu about it.

Zhao Pu said: "The emperor is still young, and he really can't serve the public. We'll have everything in order tonight, and we'll be ready tomorrow morning. ”

Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Pu immediately deployed everything and waited for dawn.

Seeing that the sky was about to brighten, all the generals came to Zhao Kuangyin's camp outside and shouted long live.

The soldier guarding the gate waved his hand and signaled: "The inspection has not gotten up yet, the generals should not make a loud noise!" ”

And they all said, "Don't you know that today you are the Son of Heaven?" Before he finished speaking, Zhao Guangyi pushed aside everyone and went in first. Zhao Kuangyin had just been woken up and hurriedly asked what had happened, and Zhao Guangyi briefly recounted the situation last night.

"This ...... Will this work? Zhao Kuangyin asked hesitantly.

"I have heard my brother say to you what the old man said to you, 'Two days of light, the sac wood should be prophesied.' If the image has appeared today and the prophecy has been fulfilled, the elder brother will be the Son of Heaven. ”

"If that's the case, then I'll go out and discuss with the soldiers first!" Zhao Kuangyin walked out after speaking.

When the soldiers saw Zhao Kuangyin come out, they shouted in unison: "The army has no owner, and we are willing to be the emperor." ”

Before Zhao Kuangyin could answer, Gao Huaide and others had already put a yellow robe on Zhao Kuangyin's body, and all the soldiers bowed down together, shouting long live.

"I have been greatly favored by the Emperor of the world, how can I be so arrogant and unjust?" Zhao Kuangyin excused.

Zhao Pu said: "If the inspection is pushed again, I am afraid that it will violate the mandate of heaven and lose the hearts of the people. Hearing this, all the soldiers stepped forward and hugged Zhao Kuangyin on the horse.

Zhao Kuangyin, who was on horseback, raised his whip and shouted: "Can you all obey my orders?" ”

All the soldiers replied in unison: "Absolute obedience!" Absolute obedience! Absolute obedience! ”

Zhao Kuangyin hugged his fists to the soldiers and said: "Since the will of heaven is difficult to disobey and the will of the people is desired, then Zhao is better to obey his fate than to be respectful!" ”

Then he said: "Since you have all elected me as the new king, then I hereby ask you not to offend the lord of Zhou, not to bully the ministers, and not to invade the people of Judah!" If you obey my commands, you will be rewarded, or else you will kill your whole family, and you will not forgive! Can you do it? ”

The soldiers still replied: "Absolutely support the new king!" Obey His Majesty's orders. ”

So, Zhao Kuangyin ordered his subordinates to return to Bianjing and sent Chu Zhaofu and Pan Mei first.

The two galloped into Biandu, the court had just gotten the news, it was in the early dynasty, and when they heard about the Chenqiao mutiny, the ministers were frightened and overwhelmed.

Someone immediately questioned Fan Qian: "It was Zhao Kuangyin who you sponsored to send troops, and now there is such a big rebellion, how should it end?" ”
