Chapter 230: Qinzong's Accession to the Throne
Xiao Ming knew that the situation outside had stabilized when he saw Zhao Gou coming in, but he still had to ask, Zhao Gou stood up and said: "Wang Zongwei has arrived with the people of the front division of the palace and Tong Lide's infantry division, and now there are about 20,000 people, basically blocking the retreat of the rebels!" ”
Xiao Ming nodded and said, "Has King Yun surrendered?" ”
"Not yet, I'm resisting!"
Xiao Ming said: "Send someone to search for the traitor henchmen in the dormitory!" Organize people to put out the fire, and these things will be handed over to His Highness! ”
Zhao Gou nodded, and Xiao Ming said to Huizong: "Your Majesty, let's go outside and talk to them, it's not all your own people who are killing and killing!" It's no good! ”
Huizong nodded, and with the support of the prince, he followed Xiao Ming out of the Chengtai Palace. The subordinates reported that the henchmen of the king of Yun had withdrawn from the entrance of the palace and were retreating to the Xuande Palace, and a large number of guards were running over, and when they saw Huizong, they all knelt down and saluted, and shouted: "Long live!" Huizong signaled that he was fine, and the guards were happy on their faces and happy in their hearts.
This time the palace turmoil, to say it badly, many people will lose their heads, and their guards on duty will not escape the blame, now Your Majesty is fine, if they can show heroism in front of the emperor, they may be able to increase their officials to the knighthood! Therefore, the expression on his face is not a disguise at all, but a sincere one.
Wang Zongmi, Tong Lide, Yang Xiong and others also rushed over, and everyone knelt down and said, "Your Majesty is frightened, and Weichen is dead!" Huizong waved his hand and said, "All the ministers are flat!" Quickly put down the rebellion, the rebel party can say surrender as much as possible, don't do too much killing! ”
The appearance of Huizong made Wang Zongwei and others finally let go of the hanging stone in their hearts, seeing that Huizong and the prince were fine, everyone also knew that the catastrophe had been avoided, so they were more brave to quell the rebellion, and now they are still following Zhao Kai and Tan Jun are their henchmen and diehards, these people say that they will not let go, although Huizong is merciful and try to surrender, but everyone knows everything in their hearts.
The pro-army guards of the brigade protected the emperor and rushed to the Xuande Palace, and the subordinates reported that the rebels had retreated to the square in front of the Xuande Building, and these people killed some of the soldiers who were fighting the fire, and occupied a corner of the square and were resisting stubbornly, and gradually surrounded the square under continuous oppression.
Wang Zongwei and others personally commanded their subordinates to fight on the front line, and when the soldiers of the front division of the palace and the infantry division formed a large formation, the rebel party had no way out, and could only wait for the fate of being completely annihilated.
Huizong came to the square surrounded by everyone, and the rebel party saw that Huizong and the prince were fine, and the last hope was also broken, and he couldn't help but have a nervous breakdown, and Huizong made people pass the decree: King Yun rebelled! As long as you follow the party henchmen and are not the main culprits, as long as you surrender, you can be dealt with lightly, I hope everyone will recognize the situation and stop resisting! “
Seeing that the general trend had gone, Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, smiled wildly and said to Huizong: "Father! It's not that Erchen wants to go his own way, it's really you who are forcing me, and you are forcing me to be ruthless! Today, please watch your sons die with you! ”
Huizong's heart ached! Zhao Kai is his most beloved son, if he was not born in the crown prince Zhao Huan first, he would really be able to pass on his throne to him, in order to make up for this defect, he is doting on Zhao Kai, many arbitrary acts of indifference I don't think I was sorry, forgave him, I didn't expect to fall into the end of father and son cannibalism today!
Xiao Ming asked Huizong to help him down, and the scene below would stimulate him, Tong Lide shouted: "Under Your Majesty's will, if you continue to resist stubbornly, it is a dead end, surrender quickly!" The soldiers behind him shouted, "Surrender or not!" To drop or not to fall? ”
There are still more than 1,000 people left in the rebel party! They were like frightened birds, and gradually shrank into a ball, Wang Zongwei stepped forward with a knife and shouted: "Tan Jun! You traitor, come out and fight me to the death! ”
Tan Jun is also a good man, rather than being executed after surrendering, it is better to die in battle in a dignified manner, so he drew his sword and jumped out to fight, and the two were divided into red eyes when they met! Without saying a word, they fought together! All the guards cheered for the two of them, this almost became a performance for the two, and their lives were so brilliant!
Wu Jue stepped forward to report to Xiao Ming, Yun Wangfu has sent troops to occupy it, and a group of henchmen are being searched, in addition to Yun Wangfu, there is also Dan Wangfu, all the mansions of the traitors have been occupied, and the five thousand god crossbow camp is currently in addition to guarding the palace gate, and the people of the two thousand god crossbow camp have all rushed to listen to the next order.
King Yun's traitorous party was wiped out by Xiao Ming's arrangements in advance this time! Zhao Gou was very excited, and Xiao Ming asked him, "What does Your Highness do with these people?" ”
Zhao Gou frowned! Stretched out his hand and made a slashing action, Xiao Ming sighed in his heart, Yang Xiong and Wu Jue on the side deeply agreed, if the traitorous party is not killed, it will inevitably be a trouble in the future! Xiao Ming was helpless, and said to Wu Jue: "Leave King Yun's mouth alive, and you can do the rest!" ”
Wu Jue, Yang Xiong, and Tong Lide took the order to go, and the arrows on the square suddenly rained down, and the crossbow arrows entered the flesh. The sound and the screams of dying suddenly resounded over the square, and now the rebels wanted to surrender too late, the front division of the palace surrounded the four corners of the square, and the riders and swordsmen of the infantry division and the horse army division all lined up in an iron bucket formation, holding spears and big knives to force inward, and Wu Jue's crossbow battalion began to fire a salvo on the periphery.
Tan Jun heard the screams behind him, he couldn't help but shake his head, he was cut down by Wang Zongmian with a knife, Tan Jun threw the sword out and injured Wang Zongmi's shoulder when he died, Wang Zongjun cut off Tan Jun's head, and came back to give Xiao Ming an errand, he has the responsibility to clear the door inside the front division of the palace, Xiao Ming can only be speechless when he sees Tan Jun's head!
The killing on the square ended quickly, Wu Song Jiangong captured Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, and the palace guards and generals around him were all killed, this battle, the palace front division was greatly injured, half of the personnel were killed, originally the palace front division was the most awesome ~ force in the guards, and the ability was also the strongest, and now the establishment of 3,000 people, there are less than 2,000 people left!
The function of the palace front division as the imperial guard of the palace has been lost, Xiao Ming handed over the authority of the palace front division commander to Zhao Gou, Wang Zongmian was unfavorable, resulting in the palace front division participating in the rebellion to bring great difficulties to the counterinsurgency, and was relieved of his post as the temporary deputy commander of the position, and the credit was made up.
Tong Lide's infantry division did not participate in the rebellion this time, and was transferred by Xiao Ming to 15,000 people into the palace on duty, these people are called the Royal Forest Army, responsible for the security of the palace, Yang Xiong because he did not investigate the rebellion of the deputy general He Yong, and also had the fault of negligence, so he was not punished for the time being, so he thought about it behind closed doors.
This night is destined to be an unquiet night, the princes and ministers are all crowded outside the Zuoye Gate, hearing that Huizong has nothing to do, all ran to Donghua Gate to ask for an audience, Huizong asked the ministers to wait in the Zichen Palace, and then met the ministers in the pale face of the Vertical Arch Palace.
Cai You, Feng Xie and others all stepped forward and fell on the ground crying, Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng and others also knelt down to say goodbye, Li Gang. He Li and the others were still in shock, among them Wang Huang, Geng Nanzhong, Wu Min and others trembled and didn't know what to do, almost all of them became parties to this incident, because these people had accepted Zhao Kai's gifts.
Geng Nanzhong didn't even notice Zhao Kai's ambition at all, and even leaked the prince's whereabouts to Zhao Kai without reservation. Otherwise, these people really don't know if they will be ruined!
Wang Hao was even more frightened, he was Zhao Kai's nominal "teacher!" "Although I didn't know about this turmoil in advance, this kind of thing, you can't wash it away if you jump into the Yellow River! Now that Zhao Kai has failed, he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, if he bites himself out, then Wang Huang's good days will come to an end!
Xiao Ming, as a meritorious person in counterinsurgency, followed Huizong's side, and the current situation is completely in his hands, so it can be said that turning his hands is clouds and his hands are rain! The crown prince Zhao Huan was grateful to him, Huizong's handle was in his own hands, and he saved the lives of their father and son, and he was faintly powerful for a while!
Xiao Ming secretly admonished himself: "Be low-key and low-key!" In this high-profile Song Dynasty, there will be no good end, so he stood in the corner of the hall without saying a word, coldly watching the performances of the ministers in the vertical arch hall, and scored them in his heart, that should be the best actor!
The ministers' crying and loyalty are still going on, and it may not be over for a while, Xiao Ming felt very bored, he suddenly felt as if someone was missing, and suddenly thought, where is Zhao Fujin? This girl seems to have been following her all the time, as if she disappeared in a panic when the Xuande Building was on fire!
Xiao Ming didn't feel a little anxious, the whole palace was in chaos, he was a princess running around in the palace at this time, what if something happened? Looking at the situation above the main hall, Xiao Ming sneaked out of the vertical arch hall, he looked around, and found that Gu Xiaoliu and the others were waiting outside the hall, so he beckoned.
"Who saw Princess Zhao Fujin? It was too messy just now, I don't know where she went! ”
Gu Xiaoliu said: "What kind of county lord is that, just now I saw that the lord attacked the palace and asked His Royal Highness King Kang for a team of people, it seems that he went to the harem, where the emperor's concubines and maidens live, and we can't go with them, maybe we went to protect the concubines and ladies of the harem!" ”
Xiao Ming thought, Zhao Gou arranged it in time, even if there were still a few rebellious eunuchs in the harem, there would be no danger if he wanted to come, so he was relieved, turned around and entered the vertical arch hall again.
Now in the main hall, all the ministers are solemn, are listening to the instructions of Emperor Huizong, Huizong's face is pale, this incident hit him a lot, he announced that he is about to abdicate, and the crown prince Zhao Huan, the edict of succession will be announced in the world tomorrow, with Li Gang and Geng Nanzhong, respectively, as the left and right servants to lead the young master, to assist the prince to ascend the throne!
Huizong's abdication announcement, like a bombshell in the court caused a sensation can be described as not small, the old emperor abdicated and upgraded to the emperor, it seems to be promoted, but there can be no two monarchs in the world, the emperor is nominally the emperor, but in fact he is a minister, all those ministers who are stained with the old emperor are equivalent to losing the umbrella, and suddenly like Liang Shicheng and others cried again, this time it was a sincere cry, and tears exchanged!
Huizong was helpless, he glanced at the place where Xiao Ming was standing, and felt uncomfortable, this mess should be handed over to the crown prince Zhao Huan to deal with, he finally felt exhausted and unbearable! After the summoning was completed, the new emperor naturally chose a day to register, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites went to work, and he himself was really tired, so he turned around and retreated from the court and went back to the palace to rest.
In the first year of the Great Song Dynasty, there was a great turmoil, which changed the fate of many people, and since then the crown prince Zhao Huan ascended the throne for Song Qinzong, and the country name Jingkang! For the first time after Qinzong ascended the throne, he discussed with his ministers how to deal with the rebels?
In the imperial history, Cheng Feng Xie asked to kill, in order to eliminate the rebellion against the party, Qinzong could not bear it, and asked everyone to be benevolent and lenient in dealing with this rebellion as much as possible, the deputy commander of the Ma army's pro-army guards He Yong, the deputy general of the palace and the internal supervisors Huang Gong and Chu Feng have been executed, and the first evil has been removed, and the rest of the entourage and family members should not be killed again.
The final result of the treatment was that Zhao Kai cut his nationality for 3,000 miles, confiscated his property, confiscated the rest of the villain's property, exiled his wife, and the rest of the accomplices were sent lightly, but Wang Huang's matter was another calculation, and at the moment, Li Gang and Wu Min asked Wang Huang to punish him, and he was pressed down by Qinzong, and it seemed inappropriate to kill his predecessor's favored minister as soon as he ascended the throne.
This incident caused another political storm, but this time the storm was started by the students of Tai Academy!
