Chapter 225 Zhao Huan wants to cry but has no tears
Chapter 225 Zhao Huan wanted to cry but had no tears
According to the Song system, the gate of the palace was closed at dusk—that is, at sunset, but today it was uncharacteristically, and more than a hundred civil and military officials from the fifth rank or above entered the Mingde Gate in a hurry, either in carriages, sedan chairs, or on horseback. , Go straight to Yanfu Palace.
Almost everyone looked solemn.
Zhang Shuye entered the palace earlier.
He waited a little longer outside Yanfu Palace, and when he saw Li Gang and Wu Min arriving, he pulled Li Gang aside and whispered a few words.
Zhang Shuye had already received the news that Lu Yihao and the others had joined forces to launch a general attack on Zhao Huan today.
Li Gang's brows trembled: "Mr. Zhang, have you ever seen His Highness?"
Zhang Shuye shook his head: "Never. I went to the East Palace to ask for an interview, but His Highness refused to meet him, but someone spread the word, telling me to wait and see what happens.
Wu Min frowned and sighed: "Has the government agreed to the Zen position? But even so, the old man looks at the current situation, even if there is an official Zen position edict, King Yun will definitely not let it go this time, after all, if the matter is torn apart Face, disregarding the dignity of the royal family, it is indeed... hard to be kind!"
"Wu Wang Zhao Hao! Yan Wang Zhao Yu!"
Li Gang looked at the palace road with deep eyes.
Two white-haired vassal kings wearing golden crowns and python robes rushed forward on foot.
These two are the most respected in the Song clan at present.
Emperor Yingzong's son, Emperor Shenzong's brother, and today's emperor's uncle, basically seldom show his face in public.
It is self-evident what it means for King Wu and King Yan to suddenly appear outside Yanfu Palace.
Clan etiquette, inheritance of the throne, and the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty.
Zhang Shuye and Li Gang quickly exchanged a heavy look.
Immediately, the two caught a glimpse of Xue Jirang, the commander of the capital of the imperial city, and Gu Dachuan, the commander of the Longhui army guarding the imperial tomb outside the city.
Xue Jirang belongs to King Yun.
Gu Dachuan is the captain of Emperor Shenzong's imperial consort and the princess of Shangtang Kingdom.
This Longhui army belonged to the clan forces controlled by the Zhao Song clan faction, with a quota of [-] people, and never participated in the defense of the capital.
His heart is clear, menacing!
Although the Jingying is in the hands of Zhang Shuye, and its military strength is far superior to that of King Yun, the combined Longhui Army and the Sanqian Palace Guards of the Imperial City Division still have 3000 people. If Zhao Kai seduces the clan If there is an incident, and then connect with civil servants to raise righteousness, I am afraid that Zhao Huan will be in danger this time!
Wu Min's mood was a little disturbed, and he became more nervous: "The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is all over the building, Taiwei Zhang, the forbidden army can't be chaotic at this moment. If the forbidden army is in chaos, they will also be incited, I'm afraid..."
Wu Min looked up at the sky: "I'm afraid that the sky in Song Dynasty will change soon."
Mingde Gate slowly closed.
Suddenly, a group of soldiers and horses came from the other side of the Shili Imperial Street, and they were so dark that they couldn't see the side at a glance. The commander of the Longxiang Army on the tower raised the torch and carefully identified it. Seeing that the opponent was holding the banner of the Imperial City Division, his expression suddenly changed. Change.
And almost at the same time, another group of soldiers and horses died down, silently charged towards the four gates of the imperial city, and began to launch a surprise attack on the camp of the Longxiang Army temporarily stationed in Anlefang!
The soldiers and horses of the imperial city came, and there were shouts of killing from the direction of the camp. How could Mao Ling not know that something was wrong at this time. If the camp of the Longxiang army was captured, the imperial city would be controlled by the incoming army. And it won't be long before Miyagi will completely fall into the enemy's hands.
At that time, it really becomes a catch in a urn.
As night fell, the moon was shining brightly.
Looking upstairs.
Yan Qing stood on the eaves on the top of the attic facing the wind, looking at the southeast of the imperial city where the torches had already begun to change, and thought: Your lord is really good at predicting things, the news from the Daming Mansion, King Yun really turned his back!
The Tokyo Imperial Army is nominally in the hands of Zhang Shuye, but King Yun has planned for so long that even the frontier army can infiltrate it, so the Imperial Army may not be monolithic.
The Longhui army guarding the imperial mausoleum outside the city suddenly entered the city and seized the Tongxuan Gate. All this happened so quickly that the guards could not react in time.
And the first part of the Long Wei Army, which is also in the Beijing camp, is now joining forces with the Long Hui Army to attack the imperial city. Once the imperial city falls, the two thousand Longxiang troops in the palace city will not be able to defend it at all.
Yan Qing turned her head to look in the direction of Yanfu Palace. The gate of the palace was closed tightly. It is estimated that the Great Court has already begun, and that is the real center of the storm.
The melee of these soldiers and horses outside is just a drumbeat.
Yan Qing smiled coldly, took out a few flares from her bosom, and released them towards the sky.
Several meteors roared, and the sky was full of stars.
Two thousand tiger god guards, full of murderous aura, gradually gathered towards Wangxianglou from all over the palace city.And outside the city, under the command of the commander Jiao Nianzhong, the three thousand Fuhu cavalry hidden in the mountains and forests rushed to Kaifeng.
……
Zhao Ji sat on his dragon chair, quite in a daze.
If Wang Lin hadn't fallen from the sky, this chair would not belong to him now.
Zhao Huan was wearing a purple gold crown, and his figure was tall and straight, standing proudly on top of the alchemy.
The civil and military officials who had finished lined up in different classes began to pay respects: "Ministers, please pay respects to the officials, long live my emperor, long live!"
Zhao Ji waved his hand, "Stay flat."
The corner of Zhao Huan's mouth twitched.
According to the usual practice, the courtiers originally had the phrase "His Royal Highness, Prince Jian Guo is a thousand years old, a thousand years old", but today it is gone.
Zhao Ji's cloudy eyes looked around at the ministers, and suddenly found the old figures of Wu Wang Zhao Hao and Yan Wang Zhao Yu, and his face changed.
He cast his eyes dimly on the silent King Yun Zhao Kai standing behind Zhao Hao and Zhao Yu, and cursed in his heart: "What a villain, you really want to rebel! Deposing the Eastern Palace is fake, but seizing power and ascending to the throne is real!"
Of course, Zhao Huan had already seen the existence of Zhao Hao and Zhao Yu.
Zhao Huan's eyes were filled with flames.
If he survives this calamity safely today, all the people who have colluded with Zhao Kai, no matter ministers, gentry or clan, will be eliminated one by one, and they will never be merciless!
Zhao Ji coughed dryly twice: "Why did the two uncles come into the palace...Come here, show the seats for King Wu and King Yan!"
The eunuch brought two embroidered piers, but Zhao Hao did not return to his seat, but went out of the class with Zhao Yu and bowed directly: "My minister, Zhao Hao, King of Wu, and Zhao Yu, King of Yan, have a book to participate in the performance!"
The corner of Zhao Ji's mouth twitched, and from the corner of his eyes, he noticed that Zhao Huan was also trembling, so he couldn't help but sneered in his heart: "You deserve it! You've made a big fool of yourself today!"
"Uncle Huang, tell me." Zhao Ji said hoarsely.
Zhao Hao looked at Zhao Huan coldly, and suddenly raised his hand and scolded: "Such a traitor, who has no father, who is messing around in the harem, what face does he have to live above the Eastern Palace and the artifacts of Sheji?"
Zhao Yu also sneered and shouted: "Zhao Huan, you have no father and no king. You are private in the palace. You are immoral and rude. You have no talent and are stupid. You really can't live in the East Palace anymore! The official family, I invite the official family to order Zhao Huan to be the crown prince. position, to secure the hearts of the subjects of the world!"
Zhao Hao and Zhao Yu fought, and above the main hall, Lu Yihao, Zhang Bangchang, Bai Shizhong, Qin Hui and dozens of officials and officials came out one after another, speaking generously and aggressively, and scolded Zhao Huan on the altar.
In particular, Qingliu Qin Hui, who was born as the number one scholar in the new department, is full of literary talents, and Zhao Huan's chaotic palace is described by his writing style, which is naturally more convincing.
All of this happened too fast, too fierce, with a clear rhythm, one after another, and it was obvious that it had gone through a road show in advance, secretly connected in series, and was directed by someone.
Zhao Ji sat there and closed his eyes slightly, the bastards yelling made his head hurt.
Standing there, Zhao Huan trembled slightly, his face flushed, but he always kept Wang Lin's advice in mind, and remained calm without saying a word.
Not disappointing him, Li Gang was the first to stand up, with white hair and gray head, solemn face, he raised his finger and pointed at the crowd filled with righteous indignation: "You guys framed the prince of the Song Dynasty with unreasonable things, you deserve death!"
Zhao Huan was so excited that he wanted to cry.
It's still this old minister!
Loyalty to the liver and gallbladder, no one can match!
Zhang Shuye said awe-inspiringly: "The official family, the affairs of the palace, concern the dignity of the royal family, this is an official family matter, it is not appropriate to discuss it in the court, please reject it by the official family!"
Zhao Hao suddenly cursed: "Uncle Zhang, the official family is the emperor, and the emperor is in charge of state affairs! What we are discussing today is not the emperor's family affairs, but the national destiny of my Song Dynasty!"
"How can my Great Song Divine Artifact be buried in the hands of such wicked sons who have no father and no king? This king is the younger brother of the late emperor, the imperial family of the Great Song Dynasty. How can we just see the world turned upside down and ignore it?"
Zhang Shuye said calmly and loudly: "His Royal Highness, the matter is related to the palace. Such things that frame the prince of the Song Dynasty cannot be made up of lies, and need to be proved!"
Zhao Yu sneered loudly: "The officials saw it with their own eyes, dozens of court ladies and eunuchs witnessed it, and there are all the witnesses and material evidence, how can you deny it?"
Gu Dachuan suddenly stood up: "Gu Dachuan, the commander-in-law of the minister's son-in-law and the commander of the Longhui army, has the official's own handwriting to prove it!"
There was a sudden silence above the main hall, and everyone looked at Gu Dachuan.
The former captain's son-in-law had no sense of presence in the court, and his sudden appearance was shocking.
Gu Dachuan showed the letter with Zhao Ji's small seal to everyone.
In the letter, Zhao Ji was furious and briefed on Zhao Huan's affair with Cao Rou, and then ordered Gu Dachuan to secretly dispatch troops to Beijing to prevent the prince from rebelling and usurping the throne.
The handwriting is clear and the red seal is obvious.
Zhao Huan turned pale with shock, and looked back at Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ji looked embarrassed, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
This letter was indeed written by him. At that time, he was angry and worried that Zhao Huan would usurp the throne because of his military power, so he wrote this private letter, ordering the little Huangmen with him to go out of the palace overnight and send it to Longhui Army to Gu Dachuan. Let Gu Dachuan lead the army to serve the king at the critical moment.
How did Zhao Ji think that Gu Dachuan was also Zhao Kai's person.
Li Gang's eyes darkened, and he almost fell headfirst into the hall.
Zhang Shuye sighed in his heart, thinking that the big thing is over.
What evidence is stronger than the emperor's own handwriting?
This private letter from the official family not only ruined Zhao Huan's position as the crown prince, but also ruined his lives in the East Palace.
It can't be said that it is not cruel.
This is a cut from the bottom of the pot, the key is the knife sent by the officials. At this moment, Zhao Huan wanted to cry but had no tears, and he regretted to the extreme.
You shouldn't listen to Wang Lin, you shouldn't be soft-hearted and hesitant, you should take a decisive action to seize the throne.
But now... it's dead.
Zhao Huan slowly closed his eyes, his legs were a little unsteady.
Zhao Kaiyin sneered among the officials.
At this time, Lu Yihao came out of the class and said with emotion: "The officials, the evidence is solid and irrefutable, please depose the crown prince and establish another crown prince!"
