"Zhao Kuangyin... Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyin! ”

On the first day of the first month of August, when the heavy rain first stopped, the evening sky was gray, the silver light of the crescent moon sprinkled on the Bianliang Imperial Pillar, outside the Song Emperor's dormitory, the guards of the forbidden army looked at the moonlight and yawned lightly.

However, Emperor Song in the dormitory suddenly heard a person calling his name in a blur, rubbed his eyes, but found that this person was red-haired and masked, standing barefoot in place, leaking a pair of terrifying ghost eyes staring at him.

"Who are you, how dare you call me by my name!" Although Zhao Kuangyin felt a sense of horror immersed in his heart, after all, he was a son of heaven, and he was strong and asked questions.

"I? Zhao Kuangyin... Do you dare to call yourself the emperor in front of me? ”

In the middle of the night, the insects around him were quiet and quiet, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly found that there was no one on his side, and when he saw this red-haired and masked man slowly lifting his face, a chill suddenly soaked into his brain.

"You are! You are Chai... No! You are Guo Rong! ”

"You remember me! Zhao Kuangyin, you are not small! Dare to carry me on my back and wear a dragon robe? After this person lifted his face, the dragon robe on his body was emitted with golden scales, and this person's breath trembled under the golden light, and a terrifying dragon head suddenly appeared behind him, and the scorching breath was dispersed by the dragon light.

Bang! ...

As soon as Zhao Kuangyin saw Zhou Shizong's appearance clearly, and the sky changed, there was an instantaneous thunder and lightning, the wind suddenly rose, and the door of the dormitory was suddenly shaken open, and the strange lightning flashed on Guo Rong's face, and he was suddenly frightened and rolled off the eaves.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty! You're not dead! ”

"Zhao Kuangyin, have you insulted my Chai family's mother and son, and abolished my Great Zhou Young Emperor Chai Zongxun!"

"Your Majesty! Minister Zhao Kuangyin was wronged! The minister was also forced, although he sat on the emperor, but the minister did not slaughter one of the Chai clan! Nor did he commit murder in the capital! ”

"Zhao Kuangyin! I promoted you to the envoy of the Songzhou Festival to protect the Great Zhou, you! Failed me! ”

When the thunder and lightning flashed, Guo Rongsu was decisive, holding a knife in his right hand, like a wronged soul, and slowly approached Zhao Kuangyin.

"Your Majesty! Spare me! No! Spare me! Spare me! ”

Zhao Kuangyin howled a few times, but still did not see any forbidden army enter the hall, so he hurriedly ran to the left, wanting to carry the sword on the wooden box, but found that he couldn't lift it even if he tried his strength, and watched Guo Rong approach him in horror.

"Ahh

An alarming sound in the dormitory spread outside the hall, and the guards and infantry all commanded Zhang Yongduo to hurriedly lead people into the palace.

"Escort! Escort! ”

Zhang Yongduo drew his knife and shouted angrily, but found Zhao Kuangyin sitting on the eaves of the bed, his eyes frightened, as if he had just woken up from a nightmare.

"The official family... There were Assassins in the temple. ”

"I'm fine, let's all step down!"

After Zhao Kuangyin retired from the forbidden army, he tiptoed to the sword in the wooden box in the hall, wrapped it around his body, and slowly fell asleep with a trembling body.

......

"Isn't there any news from Jinling in the Tang Kingdom?"

The sky was bright and the sun was rising, and the official leaders of the Northern Song Dynasty gathered in the capital hall again, originally to discuss how to deal with the Han and Liao coalition forces, but the Zhao official family suddenly changed their words and talked about Jinling.

"The official's family, the commander of the twelfth battalion has not yet sent a secret message." Xue Juzheng, the governor of the political affairs, greeted Zhao Kuangyin and said in a loud and calm voice.

"That means that everything in the Tang Kingdom is still under control, and Cao Han has recently found out the movements of the Liaohan coalition army?"

"According to the report of General Cao in the north, the Liao-Han coalition army has been approaching Bagongyuan in Zezhou in recent days, and the troops are not moving south with great fanfare!" As Xue Juzheng spoke, he presented the military report sent by Cao Han from the north to Zhao Kuangyin.

"Let's discuss this today, except for Xue Qing, the rest of the people will leave the hall first!" Zhao Kuangyin took the military newspaper, only glanced at it, and then opened his mouth to retreat, everyone went out of the hall with official ranks, only Xue Juzheng, the governor of the political affairs, stayed in the hall, Wang Quanbin and others also looked at Zhao Guanjia on the dragon chair with impatience, and sighed and went out of the hall together.

"Ziping (Xue Juzheng Ziping), yesterday, I dreamed of Emperor Sejong Chai Rong again... He covered his hair and masked, and he held a sharp knife to avenge the Chai family..."Zhao Kuangyin saw that everyone was out of the hall, and after everyone walked away, he opened the official mouth at the right time.

"The official family is caused by too many worries, people can't be resurrected after death, and Emperor Sejong has already died..." The atmosphere was dull for a moment, but Xue Juzheng's eyes were still calm and did not make waves.

"You're calm, I'm not at peace day and night, aren't you, you want to find a Taoist immortal for me..."

"Officials must not believe in the doctrine of ghosts and gods! If there really is a god in the world! There would be no years of war, no famine, no refugees dying of starvation!

If this Great Song is really blessed by the gods! Then there is no need for me to wait for these hundred officials and six ministries to manage the country for the officials! Xue Juzheng was afraid that Mingjun, who was finally going to make a difference, would suddenly fall into evil, so he hurriedly persuaded him.

"Ziping, since I ascended the throne, everyone in the world has rumored that I have won the country unjustly, bullying orphans and widows, am I really wrong!"

"What is wrong with the officials! As far as the country is concerned, the official family is already the king of benevolence and righteousness! Let's look at the Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty of the Liu family, and the Tang Dynasty of the Li family, the founding emperor of that family did not step on the corpses of thousands of people to ascend the throne as emperor!

Only after the official family ascended the throne, although it was misunderstood by the world, the official family has never treated the Chai family badly, giving it the title of eternity, so that the Chai family will always enjoy glory and wealth! And after Chen Qiao's mutiny, the official family led the crowd into the capital, but there was no slaughter of the city! Let's ask the Son of Heaven in the past, who can be so benevolent and righteous in the official family! ”

Xue Ju Zhengxing thought that this was the Zhao official family testing himself, or he really had a nightmare looking for psychological comfort, in the country and privately, since the Zhao official family said such heartfelt words to himself, he had to be comforted no matter what, so that this Zhao official family could be the emperor with peace of mind!

"It's rare for Ziping to be so loyal, and everything is for my consideration, Ziping, how much silver has been deposited in the sealing warehouse recently?"

Let's say that the name of the sealed pile library, the Song book "Shilin Yanyu", and the Qing book "Xiaoting Miscellaneous Records, Song Zhi Sealed Pile Library" are all recorded, and the word sealed pile library also proves that Zhao Kuangyin is indeed called an emperor through the ages. There is a saying in the history book that "Song Taizu started from cloth clothes, and knew the sufferings of the people, so after pacifying the countries, he was thrifty, accumulated the surplus of the left hidden, and set up a sealed pile library"

Although this pile warehouse is not one of the domestic treasury of the Song Dynasty, the silver and gold leaf of the treasury has never been used for the royal family of the Northern Song Dynasty.

"The official's house, under the rule of the official's frugality, the sealed pile warehouse is full! It can be used for the country! ”

"Good! When I destroyed Liu Jun of the Han State, I used the funds of the sealed pile library to buy back the sixteen states of Yanyun that Shi Jingjiao ceded to the Liao State in the past! to relieve my Yanyun Hanmin's suffering! ”

"I'm afraid, if the official family wants to buy Yanyun back, the Liao Kingdom may not be willing to sell it!"

"Humph! If the Liao State refuses to return, I will personally conquer it, even if I fight with the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty, I will die on the border! I also want to get back Yanyun for my Han people! ”

......

Let's say that the Zhao Guanjia in the Bianliang Dutang was still worried about the 20,000 surrendered troops in Jinling, and Li Yu's side of the Wandering Army, which was restructured into the army, did have civil strife, but this chaos was also tightly messed up in the account.

After Li Huaijin entered the tent of the commander of the 12th battalion with fake death, listening to the drunken words of Wang De and others, he was so angry that he drew his sword to pick these 12 people in the camp.

"General Li, now... You believe me! ”

When the commanders grabbed the sword, Tang Emperor Li Yu suddenly arrived with his own army, and Wang De saw that Huangfu Jixun, who was still arguing with him, looked at him with a look full of banter, as if he was playing a wild dog. Only then did it become clear that Emperor Tang had already realized their tricks, and pulled Li Huaijin and Huangfu Jixun to act together.

A few days ago, the local control was watched by the guards

"Li Yu! You say the official family betrayed me? Why should I believe you! The official family has always treated my Li family well, otherwise at my age, I would definitely not be able to be in control! ”

"Since you know that it is not your turn to be the commander according to the military seniority, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly promoted you to the commander before the expedition, is the intention not obvious enough?"

"You mean, the official family used me as an introduction! After my death, let the commander of the 12th battalion pretend to surrender to the Tang Dynasty to gain your trust, and then cooperate with Li Chuyun of Fuzhou on the border of the Tang and Song Dynasties, and Murong Yanyun of Yingzhou to destroy the Tang State in a secret letter? ”

"I knew early on that Zhao Kuangyin had bad intentions and intended to use a fake surrender to destroy the Tang Dynasty, and it was not a pity for the commander of the twelve battalions to die! It's a pity that you're a young general! Deceived by the despicable Zhao Kuangyin! I want to die in my Tang Dynasty for no reason! As Li Yu spoke, he kept observing the changes in Li Huaijin's expression, and found that this person was completely surprised, and he looked like he didn't know anything.

"Do you have any evidence that the commander of the 12th battalion betrayed me? If there is no evidence, I, Li Huaijin, will not be able to fall for your discord! Although Li Huaijin was defenseless, he was not afraid of Li Yu and the guard Li Yuanzhen behind him, and said sternly.

"If General Li doesn't believe it, why don't you play a play with me? Tomorrow, when I threaten to kill you, you turn your back to the people, I only stab you in the back, and you hide your blade and pretend to be pierced through the heart and die! ......”

......

"If it weren't for the Tang Emperor! I, Li Huaijin, am going to be killed by you and others for no apparent reason! And his Zhao official family, I am loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, in the end! It turned out that the agency wanted me to die in the Tang Kingdom. Li Huaijin was furious, holding a sword like Wang De to kill, Wang De was about to get up to resist, but he had no blade in his hand, and was held by Huangfu Jixun and others.

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I am willing to die for Datang......"

Before Wang De finished speaking, Li Huaijin, who was angry and starved, cut off his left arm with a sword, and was about to hug his arms and wail, Li Huaijin's eyes were fierce, and Wang De's right arm was cut off alive.

"You want to die? It's not that easy! Don't cut off your hands and feet as a human being, you perfidious people! It's hard to get rid of the hatred in my heart! ”

Seeing that Li Huaijin was extremely cruel, after cutting off Wang De's arms, he threatened to cut off all their hands and feet, and put them in the tank to be a person with only his head and body left, and the rest of the commanders shuddered, and one of the commanders just stretched out his hand to open the curtain, Li Yuanzhen quickly pulled out a knife and cut off the man's outstretched left hand!

"Ahh ....”

With the screams in the camp, Huangfu Jixun could still stand this cruel scene, but Li Yu was still a little disgusted, so he had to get up and leave the tent.

"General Li, I will hand over this land army to you! In the future, I will go on a northern expedition to the Song Kingdom, and I will definitely ask Zhao Kuangyin to kneel in front of you and give you an explanation! ”

"Thank you for the grace of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty! Li Huaijin's life will be used by the Tang Emperor in the future! Li Huaijin saw that Li Yu couldn't see the bloody scene in the camp, so before he left, he said with a loyal minister.

Moreover, Li Yu seemed to be unwell because of the bloody scene in the camp, and before leading Li Yuanzhen back to the imperial city, he told Gui Delang to take strict care of the Huangfu Jixun army and not to be greedy for alcohol and misconduct.

In the end, he was still not at ease, and sent someone to confiscate all the wine and weapons in the Huangfu military camp, and waited around to see that the army had indeed hidden weapons without selfishness before leaving with peace of mind.

Besides, at this time, the commander of the 12th battalion was cut off, Li Huaijin ordered people to remove the blood stains in the camp, and the tent was replaced with a new deputy envoy on the left and right, Li Huaijin sat on the platform with an expressionless face, and the soldiers outside knew that the camp had just undergone an accident, and tens of thousands of troops had seen the sudden change in the scene, and they all felt that the situation had been decided.

"General, I'm waiting... Do you really want to be loyal to this Tang Emperor in the future..."Fu Shouyi, who had just mentioned the deputy envoy, just watched Li Huaijin kneel in front of the Tang Emperor's legs, although he didn't fully believe it, but he also felt that it was a foregone conclusion to betray the Song Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty.

However, Li Huaijin, who had just experienced a massacre, heard the words of the deputy envoy, but changed his color of generosity and loyalty, his eyes were dark, and he slanted his shoulders and smiled strangely.

"Allegiance? Hahaha! Is he Li Yu also worthy?

Since the surrender of the army into the Tang Dynasty, everything is under the expected control of the official family!

As for him, Li Yu, he is just a self-righteous fool! Is it also worthy of my Li Huaijin allegiance? ”
