My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Chapter 403 Palace Change
Imperial City.

As the commander of the Imperial City Division, Wu Song controls nearly ten thousand Imperial City Division troops and guards the palace.

This is also the key to Wang Lin's reluctance to mobilize troops to increase the defense force of the capital.

There are already 6 Shenwu troops in Tokyo, and nearly [-] imperial guards. If [-] people can't defend Tokyo, no matter how many people there are, it will be useless.

In fact, in the past two years, the city walls of Tokyo have been widened and strengthened year by year, and the city defense facilities have been greatly improved compared with the past.

Such a big and strong city, towering, densely populated, with sufficient food and grass reserves, and no shortage of water sources in the city, even in the face of powerful enemies, it is absolutely no problem to stay behind closed doors for several months.

The night was dark, starry, and the wind was howling.

Wearing armor and wielding a sword, Wu Song stood on the tower of the Mingde Gate in the palace city, staring at the blazing torches in Yanfu Palace and the increasingly noisy din, pondered for a while, then waved his hand and ordered five hundred guards He rushed down the tower and ran to Yanfu Palace.

At noon today, Li Gang, Wu Min, and Zong Ze led dozens of courtiers into the palace to ask the emperor Zhao Ji, and the above table asked Zhao Ji to withdraw his order and give up the so-called southern tour to Zhejiang and Zhejiang.

Zhao Ji was furious and refused to accept it.

Li Gang led the opposition to kneel outside Yanfu Palace.

During the stalemate between the two, Tang Ke and Geng Nanzhong also led some southward migration factions and dozens of Zhao and Song clans into the palace.

In fact, it is to escape.

The two sides disagreed, and the husband quarreled, and then a fierce group fight broke out.

After all, there are many military honors and military officers in Li Gang's faction. When they started to fight, Tang Ke's civil servants and pampered clan could not bear it, and they soon fell into a disadvantage.

Some of the clan headed by Zhao Qu, king of Yongning County, and some civil servants headed by Tang Ke, many people were beaten to death, and chaos broke out outside Yanfu Palace.

This alarmed Zhao Ji.

However, in front of Zhao Ji, the two sides could not stop arguing, and the conflict resumed.

Zheng Ninghou Zhegui, Meng Guogong Cao Zhi, two young and strong warriors, rushed into the Nanqian faction, punched and kicked the loudest Henan County King Zhao Hu and his eldest son Zhao Kang, and a few jumping royals. The official historian was beaten to pieces.

Wu Xun's hatred for some civil servants has accumulated for many years, Cao Zhi and Zhe Gui shot that viciously, Zhao Hu was stabbed in the heart by Cao Zhi's black tiger, staggered, and suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood on his back.

"Murder! You are going to rebel!!" Zhao Kang's mournful cry pierced the night sky and shook the entire harem.

The scene became more chaotic and the situation got out of control.

The majestic Song Dynasty court, a country's dignitaries, actually started a group fight in the palace. It can be seen that the Great War Dynasty at this time has collapsed to an unspeakable degree.

Not even the last fig leaf.

Zhao Ji was dumbfounded, but let the eunuchs and imperial guards protect him and hid in Yanfu Palace, no longer caring about the storm outside.

Wu Song led the guards of the Imperial City Division to rush over and separated the two groups of people, which stabilized the situation.

The ground was in a mess, official hats and jade belts were discarded all over the floor.

Even the three of Li Gang, who were watching the battle, were inevitably affected by Chi Yu, and the hem of Li Gang's official robe was even torn by someone.

Seeing that Wu Song led the imperial city officials to stabilize the situation, Zhao Ji led the people out of the palace gate and stood on the steps in front of the gate, his face still pale.

Tang Ke was punched in the chaos, and his right eye turned into a panda's eye, bruised and purple. He knelt down in front of Zhao Ji slowly, with an angry and sad expression.

And beside him, Yongning County King Zhao Qu, Henan County King Zhao Hu and Zhao Kang's father and son, Shangshu Zuocheng Geng Nanzhong, and several imperial historians prostrated themselves on the ground with blood on their faces, screaming and weeping. snot.

Zhao Qu's face was covered with blood, he knelt on the ground and mourned: "The officials and ministers are the clan of the Emperor Song, the descendants of the Emperor Taizu, but they were beaten and humiliated in the palace today... How can I save the dignity of the nobles of the Song Dynasty? How can I have the face to meet my ancestors in the future?"

Tang Ke's face was ashen, and he shouted: "Officials, these rebellious ministers think they have the support of King Yan, so they are arrogant and domineering, and they have no king. If they are not severely punished... my Great Song Dynasty will lose the country!"

Zheng Ninghou Zhegui sneered again and again: "Tang Ke, you deceived the king and fled to the south, abandoning the ancestral shrine and ancestral temple, and abandoning the common people of the Li Dynasty in the Song Dynasty. It is a crime worthy of death, and his heart can be punished!"

Meng Guogong Cao Zhi strode forward, pointed at Tang Ke and others and cursed again: "You are afraid of the war, and you have urged the officials to patrol the south in an attempt to separate the southeast and split the Song Dynasty. You should be punished for your crime!"

Cao Zhi pointed at Zhao Qu and scolded sharply: "You are the royal family of the Emperor Song Dynasty, and you are supporting the court, but when the country is in crisis, you don't want to serve the country and fight the enemy, but you want to take your family and relatives and flee south to Zhejiang Province... Do you still have the face to call yourself a nobleman of the Song Dynasty?"

"If the nobles of the Song Dynasty were as virtuous as you and others, the Song Dynasty court would exist in name only!"

"Nonsense! We are just guards patrolling the south of the Yangtze River. Why are we talking about fleeing south? Why do you have no reason to commit crimes?"

"Take your beautiful wife and concubine, and all your belongings to protect the official family, and patrol the south of the Yangtze River? Are you all shameless?"

The two sides began to scold each other again.

Zhao Ji was upset and trembling with anger.

At this time, the crowd was separated like a tide. Wang Lin, accompanied by Yan Qing and Wu Song, came slowly in a light blue Confucian shirt with a calm expression.

Wang Lin first bowed to Zhao Ji as a salute, and then turned to everyone, actually to Tang Ke and the south-moving faction, and said indifferently: "Master Tang, the king of Yongning County, the king of Henan County, I have a few words to tell you all."

Facing Wang Lin, Tang Ke and the others restrained a lot in an instant, and they all stood up to salute, especially the clans like Zhao Qu, Zhao Hu and Zhao Kang, they dared not provoke Wang Lin again.

"You want to accompany the official family on a tour to the south and southeast. It's not a bad idea. But the official family is on a southern tour, and they don't stay in the southeast for a long time. Why do you roll up your furniture and bring your family with you, posing a picture of never returning to Tokyo?" Posture?"

"The official's southern tour still requires the crown prince to supervise the country, and all the princes and princesses are left in the capital to show that they are with the Li Shu of the Great Song Dynasty and guard the gate of the capital together.

As courtiers and clansmen of the Great Song Dynasty, you want to run away with your family, do you have the face to be called the nobles of the Song Dynasty? "

Wang Lin's voice became colder and colder: "You can escape, but where should the millions of people in Tokyo flee? Henan, Hebei, Beijing, Dongdong, Dongdong, and Song Dynasty's tens of millions of people, where should they flee?"

"Hundreds of thousands of my soldiers fought bloody battles for the country on the front line. As dignitaries in the court, you eat the king's salary and enjoy wealth for generations. You have never had the slightest desire to serve the country. Tang Ke, don't you blush?"

Wang Lin turned around and looked at Zhao Ji, whose expression was changing, and said calmly: "If the officials insist on patrolling the south of the Yangtze River, it's okay. Wu Song will lead two thousand imperial city guards and guards to patrol the two Zhejiang provinces, or every six months, no matter what. As long as you want."

"If the official family wants to accompany the imperial family and courtiers, they can go alone with the people selected by the imperial court.

Now that the country is facing a crisis, no matter who flees without a fight and shakes the morale of the army, it should be done with military law.I implore the officials to think twice! "

The corner of Zhao Ji's mouth twitched.

He was patrolling the south alone under the guard of Wang Lin's men, what's the point?He himself hid in the south of the Yangtze River, what kind of disturbances could arise?

The idea of ​​​​separating the southeastern half of the wall is nothing more than fantasy.

Zhao Ji looked at Wang Lin, and saw that Wang Lin's face was full of indifference and murderous intent, and he couldn't help but tremble.

He knew that no matter what, it was impossible for Wang Lin to let people like Tang Ke and a large number of clans follow him with their families and belongings.

Zhao Ji's complexion gradually became numb, and he waved his hand weakly and said, "The matter of the southern tour is over. From now on, I will close the Yanfu Palace to recuperate, and the prince will supervise the country, and the king of Yan and the other cabinets will assist you. That's it. .”

Zhao Ji cast a complicated look at Wang Lin: "King Yan, I have something to say when you come into the palace."

Zhao Ji turned and walked away, Wang Lin followed closely without hesitation, the two entered Yanfu Palace one by one, Wu Song ordered the heavy palace gate to be closed tightly.

All the ministers and clan looked at Zhao Ji and Wang Lin's backs together, were speechless for a long time, and then dispersed.

……

No one knows what Wang Lin and the official Zhao Ji said in the palace.

But Wang Lin stayed in Yanfu Palace until midnight before leaving the palace.

And Yanfu Palace was closed.

Although Wang Lin didn't say it clearly, Wu Song also knew that from now on, no one except Zhao Fujin and other prince's children would be allowed to enter or leave Yanfu Palace without authorization.

Even Prince Zhao Gou.

The emperor couldn't see his foreign ministers anymore.

The emperor gave up his southern tour and practiced Taoism in Yanfu Palace. Prince Zhao Gou supervised the country, and all military affairs were handed over to King Yan and Li Gang's four cabinet ministers.

The imperial decree was issued both at home and abroad.

However, Wang Lin will leave Beijing to go to Zhending Mansion, Hebei Province in the future, to sit on the front line of anti-golden war, and to govern China, so Li Gang will naturally be the main one.

It is not surprising that people in Tokyo have been mentally prepared for this.

But in the morning of the next day, with the release of another imperial edict, which related to the major personnel arrangements of Hebei, Henan, Hedong and the capital, the government and the public were shocked.

What attracts attention is nothing more than the change of Zhongshi Taoism and Zhongjia army, and the transfer of the defense of the capital to Wang Lin's general Hua Rong.

Hua Rong actually rushed to the capital on the night of the change in the palace, and lived in Yan Wang's mansion.

Tang House.

Tang Ke nestled on the soft couch, rubbed the panda's eyes, faced Geng Nanzhong with a long sigh and said: "The general situation is over, the king of Yan will succeed, and we will no longer be able to resist."

Geng Nanzhong's face was gloomy: "Wait for him to go north, we still have a chance."

Tang Ke shook his head resolutely and said: "Opportunity? The officials are under house arrest in the palace by him, and we can't easily meet each other, and the imperial guards in the capital are controlled by his brother-in-law, and the Shenwu Army is his confidant general. If you can't get in the water, you can't get in, and if you start another incident, you will be looking for your own death."

"Prince..." Geng Nanzhong pondered.

Tang Ke was silent for a moment, "It's not right. The prince is young and can't be successful at all. Besides, he has always followed Wang Lin's lead. The only variable..."

Tang Ke lowered his voice and said: "The eighth son of the emperor, Zhao Yu, founded the mansion in Yizhou. If we can escape from Tokyo and support the eighth son as emperor in Sichuan, we may be able to preserve a ray of incense for the Song Dynasty..."

Geng Nanzhong immediately nodded when he heard the words: "A few days ago, Wang Lin issued an edict to Sichuan, asking the eighth son to return to Beijing. At this time, the edict is still on the way. Why don't we just wait and do nothing..."

The lights in Tang Ke's study flickered, and the heads of the two got closer and closer.
