Chapter 174: The Rebellion at the Review Stand

Zhao Gou knew that he had indeed promoted some officials with insufficient ability and bad conduct during his reign, but he didn't expect these people to be so unbearable.

He sighed and said, "Even so, you don't have to do such a desperate job, do you?" After all, they were also officials who had served the imperial court. ”

Zhao Yingluo shook her head and said, "Brother Huang, you are wrong again. I didn't do too much, on the contrary, I gave them face. I just demoted them and sent them out, but I didn't remove them from their official positions. If they can change their past mistakes and become new people, they will still have a chance to return to the court in the future. ”

Zhao Gou listened to Zhao Yingluo's words, and couldn't help but feel helplessness and bitterness in his heart. He knew that he now had no military power, and he had no henchmen to rely on, so he couldn't compete with Zhao Yingluo at all. He had no choice but to swallow his anger and say no more.

Three days later, in a secret room deep in the palace, Emperor Zhao Gou was anxiously pacing back and forth, his face full of unwillingness and anger. Since being robbed of the throne by Zhao Yingluo, he has been like a tiger trapped in a cage, always eager to regain his freedom.

At this time, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door, and Qin Hui lowered his head and walked in cautiously. He glanced at Zhao Gou, then knelt on the ground and saluted respectfully: "Minister Qin Hui to see the Emperor Taishang." ”

Zhao Gou walked quickly to Qin Hui, helped him up, and said eagerly: "Qin Aiqing, do you have a good plan to help me regain the throne?" ”

Qin Hui smiled slightly, a trace of cunning light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "The Emperor is not in a hurry, the minister already has a plan." ”

Zhao Gou was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly urged: "Qin Aiqing come quickly." ”

Qin Hui looked around and made sure that there was no one else, before he said mysteriously: "The Emperor Taishang knows that now the Ma Bujun has commanded Yang Cunzhong to control 50,000 horses, and this person is loyal to the Emperor Taishang. And Ma Bujun commanded the deputy envoy Song Lun to Zhao Yingluo a lot of complaints, we can use Zhao Yingluo to review the forbidden army, waiting for the opportunity to ambush and kill him! ”

Zhao Gou was shocked when he heard this, and he said with some hesitation: "This matter is extremely risky, if it doesn't work out, I'm afraid it will cause trouble." ”

Seeing Zhao Gou's hesitation, Qin Hui couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart, and he hurriedly bewitched: "Emperor Tai, don't come again when you can't miss the opportunity." If we don't take this opportunity to regain the throne, we will never have a chance again after Zhao Yingluo completely controls the forbidden army. ”

Zhao Gou was silent for a moment when he heard this, and after weighing it again and again in his heart, he finally made up his mind to take a risk. So he sent his henchman Feng Yi out of Kaifeng City secretly and went to the camp of Yang Cunzhong in the east of the city to deliver a message.

At this time, in the camp in the east of the city, Yang Cunzhong was sitting in the tent and pondering. After receiving Zhao Gou's secret letter, he was very entangled in his heart. For the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Yingluo did give the country hope of becoming strong again; But he himself was loyal to Zhao Gou. He didn't know what to choose.

At this moment, Song Lun, the deputy commander of the capital, walked in. Seeing Yang Cunzhong's sad appearance, he couldn't help but ask, "Why is the general so troubled?" ”

Yang Cunzhong handed the secret letter to Song Lun, then sighed and said, "Take a look." ”

After Song Lun took the secret letter and read it, an angry look appeared on his face, and he stood up and said: "Zhao Yingluo's dictatorship is against the ancestral etiquette!" It should support the Emperor Zhao Gou to ascend the throne again. ”

Yang Cunzhong looked at Song Lun's excited appearance, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless in his heart. He knew that Song Lun was right, but he also knew Zhao Yingluo's ability and determination. If rash action fails, the consequences will be unimaginable.

However, under Song Lun's constant bewitchment and urging, Yang Cunzhong finally made up his mind.

He decided to carry out Zhao Gou's secret order and ambush and kill Zhao Yingluo when he was reviewing the forbidden army!

Outside the camp in the east of the city, the flags were displayed, and the voices of the people were boiling. Zhao Yingluo and his entourage, under the leadership of Wen Boyuan, slowly arrived at this vast camp belonging to the Ma Bu Army. The sunlight sprinkled on the armor, reflecting a dazzling light, and more than a thousand firearms soldiers lined up neatly, solemn and solemn.

Zhao Yingluo sat on the horse, her eyes were like torches, and she glanced ahead.

Thousands of soldiers have been assembled and are waiting for her review. Yang Cunzhong, as the commander of the Ma Bu Army, stood at the forefront, holding the command flag in his hand, and his expression was complicated.

As Zhao Yingluo and his party boarded the review stand, Yang Cunzhong waved the command flag, and suddenly, the men and horses divided into two groups began to set up a formation and start an offensive drill.

Swords and guns collided, making a crisp sound, and the shouts of the soldiers were deafening, showing their fighting spirit and courage.

Zhao Yingluo looked at the formation in front of her and couldn't help nodding slightly. She turned around and asked Wen Boyuan beside her: "Wen Boyuan, what do you think of their combat strength?" ”

Wen Boyuan's eyes were deep, and he replied in a deep voice: "Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, their combat strength is comparable to that of the Jin Army, but compared to the forbidden army under me, it is almost meaningless. ”

When Zhao Yingluo heard this, her eyebrows raised slightly, but she didn't speak. She knew that Wen Boyuan's forbidden army had been carefully selected and strictly trained by her, and naturally it was not comparable to these ordinary forbidden troops.

However, she was still not worried about the training intensity of the other forbidden troops, so she decided to come to review it herself.

At this moment, a trace of hesitation flashed in Yang Cunzhong's eyes.

He was entangled at the last moment, if he really carried out Zhao Gou's secret order to kill Her Royal Highness the princess, this Great Song Dynasty would probably survive under the iron hooves of the Jin Kingdom.

He remembered the oath he had made to the Great Song Dynasty, and thought of the soldiers who died for the Great Song Dynasty, and he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

However, just as he hesitated, Song Lun suddenly made a move.

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he immediately snatched the order flag in Yang Cunzhong's hand and waved it three times in a row!

The 40,000 troops who received orders outside the field immediately shouted, "Kill Zhao Yingluo!" return to the emperor and go to the review stand.

All this came so suddenly, Zhao Yingluo and his party didn't have time to react at all. Wen Boyuan was shocked when he saw this, he immediately pulled out his long sword and shouted loudly: "Protect Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Then he led the firecrackers to meet the rebels.

The reviewing stand was in chaos. The rebels rushed up with shouts and started a fierce battle with Zhao Yingluo and his party.

There was a crisp sound of swords colliding, sparks flying, and blood splattered.

Wen Boyuan led the firecrackers to resist the rebels' attack. The firearms in their hands continued to shoot flames and projectiles, defeating the rebels one after another.

However, the rebels were outnumbered, and they kept coming up, and it seemed that they would never be able to finish killing.

However, Zhao Yingluo was not intimidated by this incident, she still remained calm and composed.

She knew that at this moment, she had to make quick decisions to turn the tide and save the day.

She beckoned Wen Boyuan to lead the army to move outside the camp. Wen Boyuan understood, and he immediately led the firecrackers to retreat while fighting, and retreated towards the outside of the camp.

Zhao Yingluo, under the protection of the guards, also moved outside the camp. As she moved, she thought about what to do. She knew she had to find a safe place as soon as possible and then mobilize her forces to put down the rebellion.
