Chapter 328: The Emperor's Concubine's Reliance The situation in Beijing
Seeing that Cao Bin had given him a chance to atone for his sins, the imperial doctor worked very hard to check it, and only after confirming it many times did he say:
"This arrow is coated with aconitum poison, which goes straight to the heart, and is the best at attacking the heart."
"Thanks to the earlier removal of the arrow, the poisoning is not deep...... Xia Guan immediately dispensed medicine and detoxified His Majesty! ”
Everyone was speechless, they all died, and they were not deeply poisoned?
Cao Bin also probably understood the cause of the emperor's cardiac arrest, listening to the meaning of the imperial doctor, the symptoms caused by aconitum poison are very similar to arrhythmia and myocardial infarction.
However, everyone didn't pay attention to the imperial doctor's self-defense, and only asked about the emperor's specific situation.
After hearing that his life could be saved, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
As for whether there will be sequelae, I can't care so much about it.
The form of the capital was not good, but I didn't expect the emperor to really fulfill the "rumors".
It seems that it will be a trouble after returning to Beijing.
The human heart is the most unpredictable, if you know that the emperor is hopeless, under the trend of the times, even the more loyal people may betray.
Once the imperial court determines the name, even if everyone has the right to fight, it will be difficult to reverse the situation.
The battle in the court is not just a matter of soldiers, not to mention that in addition to the 30,000 forbidden troops stationed in Beijing, there are also local soldiers summoned by King Yan to settle in.
At least in terms of numbers, it was no less than the anti-Liao army that suffered heavy losses.
This is also the reason why the emperor is in a hurry to return to Beijing.
It would be funny if he was respected as the emperor, and he had no children under him, and if he didn't handle it well, even the soldiers around him might betray.
After all, they are all of the Zhao family's blood, and the psychological pressure on the courtiers to change their courts is not "too great".
And this is not just a question of who wins and who loses, the imperial court has already suffered heavy losses after two major wars.
If there is another infighting, it will have a huge blow to the prestige and strength of the court and the emperor.
Even if the rebellion is finally extinguished, in the next few years, the Great Song Dynasty will not be stable.
"Master Hou, we have defeated the Liao army, and all the captives have been killed."
While the imperial physician was treating the emperor's injuries, the palanquin also came back to give orders.
Cao Bin nodded with satisfaction, and the anger in his heart gradually subsided:
"Very good ......"
At this time, the emperor poured down the antidote soup, and also came back to his senses, grabbed Cao Bin's hand with tears in his eyes and said:
"Juncai, I can be reborn as a human being, it all depends on your hands, I dare to swear, I will never live up to the ...... Ahem"
Seeing that he was indispensable, Cao Bin looked like he didn't know how to thank him, and hurriedly said:
"The minister doesn't dare to be, this is the duty of the minister, Your Majesty must take care of the dragon body!"
Just listen to the emperor's words, if you take it seriously, then you should be unlucky.
Seeing that the emperor had stabilized, Kou Zhun immediately suggested:
"Your Majesty, time is pressing now, and the longer it drags on, the worse the situation in Beijing will be."
"It's better for Your Majesty to write an edict by hand, so that Zhongjing Hou can lead the troops back to Beijing first and stabilize people's hearts."
"In this way, the losses of the imperial court can be minimized."
The emperor was about to answer, but Concubine Pan stopped and immediately interjected:
"No way!"
"Your Majesty, it's really dangerous on the way back to Beijing."
"Only when you are loyal and wait to escort you, can the concubines feel at ease."
"Your Majesty......"
Originally, she trusted Pan Renmei very much, after all, it was her own father.
Unexpectedly, Pan Renmei was so incompetent, and as soon as she came into contact with the Liao army, she was defeated.
The emperor was almost killed, and she herself was almost captured alive by the Liao.
She didn't want to experience that fear a second time.
Cao Bin is a god general, which makes her stunned, and now in her heart, Cao Bin is the most stable to rely on.
Pan Renmei is not wrong about one thing, with Cao Bin here, at least there will be no worries about his life.
Seeing Concubine Pan begging with tears in her eyes, the emperor also nodded thoughtfully:
"Kou Qing, loyal and loyal to Yongwu, if he didn't have him by my side to protect me, I wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully."
"Do you want to send someone back to Beijing?"
Hearing this, Kou Zhun shook his head and persuaded:
"Your Majesty, the most important thing at the moment is the safety of the capital, only loyal and brave people like Zhongjing Hou can suppress the rebellious ministers and thieves......"
Concubine Pan hurriedly shook her head and said:
"No, Zhongjing Hou must be by my side and His Majesty, and I don't worry about the others."
The Emperor also nodded and said:
"Kou Qing should step down first, and I will think about it again."
Seeing that the emperor refused to let Cao Bin leave, Kou Zhun was also very helpless.
It's just that Beijing is in turmoil, and if it lasts too long, I don't know how bad it will be.
I had to nod and say, "In that case, let's wait for Hun Tianhou to catch up." ”
In his heart, in fact, Cao Bin is the most suitable person.
This person is forced to be in a hurry and is easy to make ruthless moves, Jingzhong needs such a person, on the contrary, Mu Guiying will have a lot of scruples.
Inside a luxurious palace in the capital.
Yanwang Zhao Qi had just returned from the court, full of anger.
Seeing this, the advisor hurriedly asked, "The courtiers refuse to accept the prince's rule?" ”
Zhao Qi said hatefully:
"Wang Yanling, that old thing, has to wait for news from the front."
"The Liao people are strong, and they hope that the Great Song Dynasty will win, isn't it ridiculous?"
"Besides, the official family is dying, still waiting for a fart!"
King Yan was the emperor's nephew, who was adopted into the palace when he was a child, and planned to pass on to the emperor.
It's just that after Empress Zhang became pregnant, he was sent out of the palace, and later Empress Zhang had a miscarriage and did not take it back.
This time there was news that the emperor was seriously injured and wanted to die, and the queen mother proposed that King Duan should be in charge, and King Yan was immediately anxious.
He first secretly contacted the 5,000 Liao troops who went around to Gyeonggi, designed to seriously injure Li Zhaoming, the commander of the palace front division, and then directly led troops into Beijing to control Kaifeng.
But he did not dare to arrest the ministers and force them to agree to his own rule.
This time, I participated in the court meeting, and I originally won the support of many ministers, thinking that it would be smooth sailing.
Unexpectedly, Wang Yanling, who was the leader, blindly emphasized that he had to wait for the news from the front, and Cai Jing also had an ambiguous attitude and did not say a word.
The advisor advised:
"Lord Wang, now, don't ask for the government anymore, the prince must directly ascend to the throne!"
"As long as you master the imperial city, the queen mother and the ministers dare not agree."
Seeing that King Yan hesitated, the advisor continued to persuade:
"Lord Wang, don't forget, after the news of the official family being seriously injured and dying, what was the attitude of the Queen Mother and the ministers."
"If you blindly discuss with good words, I'm afraid that the throne will not be the turn of the prince."
"No matter what method is used, as long as the position is established, the world can only accept it."
When King Yan heard this, a bright color suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he muttered:
"The father died and the son succeeded, and this king was raised in the palace since he was a child, and the theory should also be succeeded by this king."
"That Duan Wang only knows how to play with stone painting, what qualifications does he have to cross this king?"
As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and said:
"Okay, just listen to you, we'll use troops immediately, I'll see if they agree."
At this moment, a royal guard panicked and reported:
"Lord Wang, there is news from Hebei, and the official family is returning to Beijing."
Zhao Qi was startled at first, and asked in a panic:
"Isn't the official family still confronting the Liao, and they are seriously injured and want to die?"
Strategist Road:
"Don't panic, this should be the official family who received the news from the capital."
"In order to get rid of the entanglement of the Liao army, he hurriedly returned, and he must be defeated by the remnants of the army."
"The prince immediately notified the Liao people of Gyeonggi and asked them to intercept and kill the holy driver."
Zhao Qi slapped his thigh, nodded fiercely, and said:
"Yes, I don't believe that their remnants can beat the Liao."
"When the emperor dies, this king can rightfully ascend to the throne."
As he said this, his eyes lit up with great longing.
