Chapter 1: The Imminent Death of the Nation
The dragon of fortune of the Great Song Dynasty was divided into three and scattered into the world, the mighty Tianwei was completely lost, and an inexplicable force surged out of the entire kingdom secretly, and in the dark, the Great Song Dynasty began to fall.
Blood forged the emperor's road, but it also buried the emperor by blood. Although the Great Song Zhezong is only a young man, he has great ambitions and wants to revitalize the country, but unfortunately he is too young, too intense, and not resourceful, so that now Xiang launched palace politics and recommended Zhao Ji to take the throne.
Song Zhezong Zhao Xu was fierce, he stood in front of the dragon throne with his sword, and his proud imperial aura was faint, even if the guards around him were all dead, his eyes were still staring ahead.
"Cai Jing, I trust you so much, but you rebelled and should be punished. Zhao Xu asked, the sword in his hand pointed directly, and the sword of Sensen actually had a trace of majesty.
Cai Jing's eyebrows couldn't help frowning, looking at the young emperor in front of him, he also sighed in his heart. The Emperor's Sword is full of prestige, if he is given enough time, he may not be able to achieve a generation of famous kings, but unfortunately there is no chance. The fortune of the world has changed greatly, and the Empress Dowager Gao, who escorted her, died too early, and the little emperor's heart was too anxious, and he didn't understand the Empress Dowager Gao's painstaking efforts at all, in order to reduce the influence of the Empress Dowager in the court, she also demoted several ministers, so that everyone chose to give up, otherwise, how could the Xiang rebellion be so smooth.
Cai Jing faced the questioning, even if he was full of knots in his heart, he still said in a deep voice, "Cai Jing remembers the kindness of the official family clearly, but the emperor, you have lost all the hearts of the people, and the minister has to vote for the master." ”
"Nonsense. Zhao Xu was furious, Cai Jing said that he was like a faint king, what makes people's hearts lost, thinking that since he ascended the throne, which day is not working hard for the Great Song Dynasty.
"Why not, look at who is still supporting you today. Okay, little emperor, please step down from the dragon chair, and General Ben can still intercede for you in front of the back. So that you can leave a whole corpse. Gao Yi said impatiently.
Zhao Xu was not angry when he heard this, but was a little sad, he looked around the ministers standing below, and was already speechless, maybe he was really too unqualified as an emperor.
The ministers didn't dare to look directly at Zhao Xu's glance, they lowered their heads, facing death or glory and wealth, these petty officials naturally chose the latter.
At this moment, the soldiers in the rear took the initiative to get out of the way, only to see Zhao Ji being taken here. Then Xiang Shi walked from the other side, she took Zhao Ji's hand and walked in slowly.
Zhao Xu's eyes were blazing with hatred, and he burst out of anger and scolded, "Xiang's demon woman, you have troubled the Great Song Dynasty, corrupted the law and order of the court, and rebelled and seized the throne with great ambitions. You should be damned. ”
The corners of Xiang's mouth showed a hint of disdainful mockery, she took the hand of the prince Zhao Ji, walked to the bottom of the steps, and faced Zhao Xu's sword. didn't care at all, Gao Yu and several soldiers guarded the side, staring at Zhao Xu's every move.
Cai Jing and Gao Yi came to Xiang's back with the ministers after saluting, and they stared at Zhao Xu at the same time. A powerful coercion swept in.
Xiang Shi looked at Zhao Xu's struggle, and she spoke, "Xu'er." Hand over the jade seal, retreat to Ji'er, and let you die a decent death, otherwise, then don't blame the queen for being ruthless. ”
"Hmph, the demon woman is dreaming, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty has never surrendered, the bravery of the Taizu Taizong era, the benevolence of the Renzong Zhenzong era, although the emperor is less than one-tenth, but it is not something that you people can humiliate. If you want my throne, don't even think about abdicating voluntarily, you can only kill me to succeed in rebellion. "Zhao Xu is extremely upright, and he is more heroic than the emperors of the later Song Dynasty.
Xiang's face was ugly, and he said gloomily, "I don't know what to say, but since you don't want to, you can only take it by force." Her eyes gestured to the surroundings, only to see Gao Yu nodding behind her, Gao Yi immediately walked out from behind her, and began to walk towards Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu shouted, "Stop." The imperial pressure of the whole body came, Gao Yi was obviously stunned, and his body involuntarily slowed down a few steps. When he reacted, he couldn't help but blush slightly and get angry.
Zhao Xu ignored him, but asked, "Xiang, I don't know your determination to take the throne, but this emperor still wants to ask, my mother and sister, have you also done something to them." ”
Hearing this, the Xiang clan immediately stopped Gao Yi, and then threatened, "Yes, they are all in the hands of Benhou now, Zhao Xu, if you still have some filial piety, take the jade seal in exchange." ”
Zhao Xu smiled, his eyes looked at Xiang like an idiot, "Hearing you say this, the emperor is relieved, it must be that you didn't catch them, otherwise you wouldn't have threatened me like this." If they are really in your hands, I am afraid that as soon as you enter the main hall, you will already use them to threaten you. ”
Xiang was speechless, she naturally did not have the Huang family and Zhao Jiyue as hostages to threaten Zhao Xu, so she said angrily, "What if there is no one, as long as they give an order, they can run for a while, and they can run for a lifetime." ”
Zhao Xu replied with a sneer, "Although I don't know how the Queen Mother and the Imperial Sister escaped, I believe that they will never be caught by you again." ”
"Hmph, don't dream. Without further ado, hand over the jade seal. Xiang Shi ran out of patience, and her eyes signaled Gao Yi. Seeing Gao Yi approaching again, Zhao Xu raised his sword with a sword, and pointed a sword straight at the clan.
"When the kingdom is about to perish, there will be demons. Xiang, if you want a jade seal, it's impossible, I will never give it to you. As he spoke, the sword he used to protect himself was directly across his neck, "I'll go first, I'm sure you guys will come down to accompany me soon." ”
Blood, flowing down the sword. Xiang was obviously shocked, she couldn't imagine that Zhao Xu would be so decisive in killing herself, and she wouldn't give her a chance at all. However, the Xiang clan who reacted was immediately furious, "Hateful." ”
People can't be resurrected after death, Xiang Shi sent a fire, she led Zhao Ji straight up, facing the dragon chair, a trace of hesitation flashed on her face, but in the end she helped Zhao Ji up.
It's not that the Xiang clan doesn't want to be the empress, but the clan of the Great Song royal family still has some strength, and in the face of loyal ministers loyal to the Great Song Dynasty in various places, she is not sure to suppress it, so she can only use righteousness to stabilize it. For example, Shenhou Zhuge Zheng me, he has 800,000 forbidden troops in his hands. For example, the nameless old monk of the Great Song Emperor's uncle, with his martial arts, wanted to enter the palace to kill her, it was easy.
Cai Jing replied as soon as possible, and immediately bowed and said, "Congratulations to the new emperor on his accession to the throne and regent to the Queen Mother." "Simple and direct, the little emperor is too young, so the real power is still in charge of the Xiang clan.
The ministers were not stupid and did so. Xiang Shi felt the taste of power, and she spoke, "The old emperor Zhao Xu returned to heaven due to illness, and passed on to his brother Zhao Ji, and asked all Aiqing to assist the government. "As for Empress Dowager Huang and Princess Zhao Jiyue, they are just women to the world, and no one will care about them.
The ministers responded for a while, Xiang nodded with satisfaction, and she retreated from everyone, "Since you understand, tomorrow morning after the court, you will be rewarded for your merits." Now, all of you, go away. Watching the ministers leave, Xiang Shi said again, "Lord Cai Jing, Gao Yu and Gao Yi are left, and there are important matters to discuss later." ”
Cai Jing was not surprised, he stood there motionless, calm and relaxed, as if everything was in his palm. It's just that who knows, this is actually just a shocking situation laid out by the Empress Dowager Gao. (To be continued......)
