At that time, the night was dark and the wind was high, the streets were cold and silent, and thousands of people were running like hounds with blades in hand, and in a short time they had reached the outside of the mansion. Zhao Sheng saw that there was no movement in the house, his heart was happy, and he greeted him, and the five masters jumped over the high wall, opened the door of the house, and everyone rushed in, rushed into the house, and killed people when they saw them. The soldiers were covered in blood and ran through the night, like evil spirits that hooked souls.

Zhao Sheng and Mao Jingyuan walked quickly to the hall, and saw a person rushing out, Zhao Sheng saw that it was the guard who had escaped earlier, and shouted: "Kill this assassin!" Several people surrounded him, axes, knives and guns fell together, and the man was cut into pulp.

Zhao Sheng cheered, relieved, and then went to find Kong Wufu, and finally captured it in the study. Ten people surrounded him and pushed him out, Zhao Sheng saw that Kongwu Dun was disheveled and his hair was scattered, and he couldn't help laughing proudly, he really got his wish, and said with a smile: "Escape father, escape father, it turns out that you also have today." ”

Kong Wu sighed and said: "Your Majesty, where is the old minister sorry for you? ”

Zhao Sheng thought that he would be so frightened that he would be incoherent, but he didn't expect this person to talk as usual, and every sentence was reasonable: except for the plan of fake betrayal last time, he can have today because of this person, and he has never openly contradicted himself afterwards. Zhao Sheng knew that he was wrong, but said angrily: "You have always been rude to me, what kind of heart do you have?"

Kong Wuyun said: "Your Majesty is going to kill the old minister?"

Mao Jingyuan said: "Your Majesty, this person knows many secrets very well, and they are still useful, so we can put him in a black prison, force him to confide in the news, and force him to give us advice." can even lead his subordinates to rescue the thieves, and come to 'catch them all' with one move. ”

Zhao Sheng obeyed Mao Jingyuan's words at this moment, and immediately agreed, saying: "Kong Wuxuan, you honestly confess, how many of your comrades are there who want to usurp the throne and seize power? If you answer incorrectly, I will cut off the meat on your body and roast it one by one. "He killed his beloved wife tonight, lost his general, and left his favorite concubine, he was already mad, and what he said was cruel and outrageous.

Kong Wuxuan sighed and said, "Your Majesty, listen to me, although you occupy Tiannan and have a great reputation, the overall situation is undecided. If you kill my comrades, you dig your own grave. ”

Zhao Sheng slashed out with a knife and cut off Kong Wu Dun's index finger, Kong Wu Dun screamed miserably, and cried intermittently. Zhao Sheng said: "Do you say it?"

Kong Wuxuan nodded and said, "I move, I move." At that moment, Zhao Sheng took a pen and paper, asked Kong Wuxuan to write a confession, pointing out that he agreed with the evil party, and then handed it to Mao Jingyuan, saying: "The people on the paper, take all of them, and don't miss a single one!"

Mao Jingyuan fell to his knees and said loudly, "Obey!" and led the troops away.

Zhao Sheng looked at the trembling and senile military advisor in front of him, and his heart was full of pride, as if he had walked out of the shadows and seen the light of day, he couldn't help but be proud, and thought: "I'm afraid of this old thief, I've been afraid of it for more than ten years, and I can't imagine winning so easily." It can be seen that there is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of those who have a heart. As long as I am relentless, there will be no obstacles in the world. ”

As early as when Zhao Sheng led his troops out of the palace, Concubine De had already noticed it. She has always remembered what Kong Wuyun instructed, and when she saw this scene, she couldn't help but be frightened, and she couldn't make up her mind. At this time, there was chaos in the palace, everyone was panicked, she was the emperor's concubine, and no one was wary of her. She picked up the flesh and blood of herself and Zhou Hanhai, accompanied by her henchmen and palace maids, walked out of the palace, trotted all the way, came to Zhou Hanhai's mansion, banged a few times, knocked on the door of Zhou Hanhai's house, and said to the family: "I am Concubine De, I want to see your son-in-law!"

The family saw that she was beautiful and richly dressed, but she was aggressive and did not dare to stop her. She rushed into Zhou Hanhai's bedroom, Zhou Hanhai saw her holding the child in her arms, she was happy and afraid, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Concubine De hurriedly said: "Don't delay, the situation is urgent, Zhao Sheng wants to kill the air force division, and then he will attack you." Let's not linger, get out of the city at once!"

Zhou Hanhai respected Kongwu like his biological father, and he was full of longing, and when he heard the words, his heart was beating wildly, and his heart was like fire, and he said loudly: "He wants to embarrass Lord Kong? Isn't this perverse and self-destruction of the Great Wall? No, I have to save my lord." ”

Concubine De hurriedly told the truth what Kong Wuxuan said, and said: "There is no war now, you have no military power in your hands, and the army is under Zhao Sheng's dispatch." He has hundreds of thousands of masters, how can you succeed if you are alone? Lord Kong expects that Zhao Sheng will not kill him, if you want to save Lord Kong, you must have strong reinforcements to help, and he wants you to go to Hei Dara, which is for this reason. I have made up my mind to follow you, and if you return, my mother and son will die before you. ”

Zhou Hanhai suddenly understood, was grateful, bowed to her, and said, "The lady is righteous, save me from fire and water." He no longer hid this matter from others, so he called him the love of his life as a "lady". He immediately packed up in a hurry, led all the people in the house to ride their horses and galloped wildly, escaped from the city, and ran to the southwest.

Many family servants don't know how to ride horses, and there is some drag on the way, so they run for most of the night, and the sky is slightly bright, when they suddenly hear the sound of horses' hooves behind them, and the earth shakes, and it is Zhao Sheng chasing the soldiers. Zhou Hanhai and Concubine De looked at each other, and they both felt desperate for a moment, and secretly thought: "I can't imagine that my wife and I died here." Looking at the young son in his arms, his heart was sad and unspeakable, but he felt that this life was in vain. In addition to grief, Zhou Hanhai couldn't help but look back, and saw that on the way to the distance, a large group of cavalry rushed straight forward, it was the armor of the Song army, and it was less than three miles away.

Suddenly, seeing the golden light in the air, shaking people can't open their eyes, Zhou Hanhai exclaimed, and secretly thought: "What is this?" Then the wind blew fiercely, the dark clouds were closed, and a sudden downpour suddenly fell between himself and the pursuers, and the raindrops were heavy, hitting the ground and dusty. The pursuers fled scattered, but they didn't dare to break through the rain curtain to chase after them, although the heavy rain was fierce and rare, Zhou Hanhai and his party were not bothered at all.

Zhou Hanhai and Concubine De were pleasantly surprised, secretly calling God to bless, afraid that the heavy rain would disperse immediately, and they would run wildly along the road again. At this time, in a panic, they had to leave their family and care only for their wives and children, and they drove their horses into the dense forest and disappeared.

The chasing general was dizzy and dizzy by the heavy rain, and it was difficult to move forward, so he had to lead the troops back and inform Zhao Sheng. When Zhao Sheng heard the general say that Zhou Hanhai eloped with Concubine De, he was so angry that he almost wanted to vomit blood, and he just thought in his heart: "I treat that cheap and good goods very well, and I also treat Zhou Hanhai very seriously, and the two of them dare to do such a shameless deed! Yes, yes, that cheap and servant child may not have been born to me." She had been on the lookout for me, and when she got the news out of nowhere, she told the adulterer to escape. ”

He didn't believe that Kongwu had the ability to predict the future, but the queen of morality was extremely cunning, and he wanted to divide the bodies of these three people and five horses and put them to death. But although he was resentful, he couldn't catch up with him at this time, so he had to give up.

In the next few days, he wantonly searched for Kongwudu's henchmen, arrested them one by one, put them in prison, tortured them to extract confessions, and did everything he could. Li Tingyu, Mo Wei and other Jianglong gangs have never been involved with Kong Wuyun, and the gang is like a cloud, and Zhao Sheng does not want to provoke, but comforts and condolences. Although Li Tingyu was suspicious in his heart and was extremely righteous, he didn't know the truth for a while, so he could only endure it.

While he used his poisonous hands, he was afraid that the situation would get out of control, so he rewarded the whole army with a large amount of silver. He also promoted Mao Jingyuan's relatives and friends as officials, firmly controlled the government and stabilized the situation, and after a month, the turmoil subsided, the political situation was stable, and the ministers never mentioned it as if they had forgotten about it. Zhao Sheng put down the big stone in his heart, was overjoyed, and thought secretly: "Now that the villains in the court are all gone, there are no more demon girls in the palace, I have the help of virtuous ministers, and I can also show my strength." ”

Although he has great ambitions and has an army of 300,000, he is in control of the government for the first time, and there is no interference from empty enlightenment, so he is a little clueless. He asked Mao Jingyuan: "What is our strategy, and how can we recapture the Central Plains?"

Mao Jingyuan said: "The emperor is wise and martial, he has his own opinions, and his subordinates don't know what to do, as long as the emperor comes up with a way, it will definitely be correct." ”

Zhao Sheng laughed and thought: "Although he is a little slippery, what he said is really good." Then he said: "Now that the traitors have been removed, everything is under control, just march eastward, capture Shudi, and share the world equally with the Tartars!"

Mao Jingyuan kowtowed again and again, and said: "The emperor has a high view, a high view!" The selection of generals was proposed, and Zhang Suitang and Zhang Lan's uncle and nephew led the army, led 100,000 troops to the battle, crossed the river and attacked Sichuan and Shu.

That Zhang Lan has never forgotten Qiu Xin, and he has not married yet, Zhao Sheng killed Qiu Xin, there is a ghost in his heart, and he also wants to kill this person. But firstly, Zhang Lan's martial arts are too high, and it is extremely difficult to kill; secondly, it is at the time of employing people, and there is an urgent shortage of generals; third, this person did not suspect that Qiu Xin's death was related to Zhao Sheng, but wanted to kill Kongwu.

After Zhang Lan and others sent troops, Zhao Sheng temporarily restrained, not close to women, but just concentrated on politics, personally managed political affairs, and worked hard for another month, no matter how unbearable it was, he recruited concubines and concubines, enjoyed himself all night, and gradually became addicted again.

Suddenly, one day, he saw Mo Wei and Li Ruolan in the court, and couldn't help but recall the past, and wanted to persuade them to enter the palace, but the two of them had no good face for him, Zhao Sheng was furious, and he was murderous, and after returning to the palace, he was trying to find Mao Jingyuan to discuss the secret plan, but Mao Jingyuan suddenly went straight to the palace and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good!

Zhao Sheng was startled and asked, "What's wrong?"

Mao Jingyuan said: "Your Majesty, the minister just received the news: that Zhou Hanhai led 100,000 troops of the Yunnan Tu tribe and captured Kunming ten days ago, attacking the city all the way, and came over!"

Zhao Sheng said "ah", his face was colorless, and he remembered something: "The aborigines of all ethnic groups in Yunnan serve themselves because of empty enlightenment and little autumn sheep." Now that these two people have left, the natives will no longer listen to their orders, but are very likely to help Zhou Hanhai. ”

The thought raced through his mind and he asked, "They are still far from here, and it will be a month before they arrive." Does Mao Aiqing have a good way to retreat from the enemy?"

Mao Jingyuan said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has already figured it out. There are 50,000 Tu soldiers stationed in our city, and it is very likely that they should cooperate with the outside and collude with Zhou Hanhai. We need to deal with it as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble and change the elbows and armpits!" (To be continued.) )
