My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Luoyang is actually a very important city for Dayan.

Especially influence and strategic location.

It is vital.

Therefore, the change in Luoyang spread throughout Henan immediately, shaking the surrounding state capitals.

The 27 members of Zhao Song's clan, headed by the eighth son of the original Emperor Huizong Zhao Ji and the original Yi Wang Zhao Fu, raised troops in Luoyang and raised the banner of anti-Yan and Song Dynasty.

Sun Fulin, the prefect of Luoyang, and dozens of Dayan officials were killed, and Luoyang fell into the hands of the Zhao family.

Immediately afterwards, the Luoyang Zhao clan jointly issued an appeal, respecting Zhao Ji as the emperor, Zhao Fu as the prince, and Luoyang as the capital. They claimed that there were hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and ordered the world to work hard and restore the Great Song Dynasty.

In fact, the Zhao clan only occupied one city of Luoyang, with thousands of troops under its command.

The urgent military report reached Kaifeng later the next day.

Wu Song was furious, and urgently mobilized the local Xiang army in Henan, and made a move to attack Luoyang, but he did not send troops for a long time.

But in Kaifeng City, the light is loose and the darkness is tight. Kaifeng Jinyiwei and Kaifeng defenders are closely monitoring the whole city, but the main focus is still on the former Song Dynasty imperial city.

Just when the Henan people focused their attention on Luoyang, late at night on the second day after the Luoyang mutiny, a raging fire suddenly ignited in the imperial city of Kaifeng. The fire was so fierce that it reflected half of the night sky red.

People in Kaifeng woke up in the middle of the night and rushed to the street one after another, staring at the direction of the imperial city with shocked faces.

Almost everyone understood that this must have been done by the Zhao royal family, and its purpose was probably the same as Luoyang, taking Kaifeng by mutiny.

But no one is optimistic about Zhao's rebellion.

Many more are angry.

The whole country of Dayan now lives and works in peace and contentment, the common people think of peace, and the merchants think of peace.

The Zhao family suddenly broke into trouble, let alone whether it will succeed or not, the people at the bottom will be the first to be affected.

In the imperial city, Yan Qing and Li Lan stood side by side under the tall gate of Linde Palace, looking at the flames shooting up into the sky in four directions, with indifferent expressions.

The elite team of five hundred brocade clothes brought by Yan Qing has not made any movement since the secret way sneaked into the palace.

Wu Song's men and horses rushed into the imperial city and rushed to the scene of the fire to fight the fire. The former Song Dynasty Palace, which was originally deserted, was turned upside down that night, ghosts crying and wolves howling.

Zhao Ji's concubines all lived in the front line of Linde Palace. They rushed out of the palace one after another, looking at the direction of the fire, with dazed and frightened faces.

"Firefighting?" Li Lan said lightly.

Yan Qing shook his head resolutely: "Let Second Brother Wu bring someone to rescue us. We will stand still and the imperial city will be burned to ashes tonight. As long as we can keep Zhao Ji, we will live up to His Majesty's trust."

Li Lan sighed softly, turned her head to look at the peaceful palace where Zhao Ji lived.

In fact, in the imperial study room, Zhao Ji was so anxious and confused that he almost stayed up all night.

He actually didn't know what the people behind him were going to do. There was such a commotion in the palace that all the Kaifeng defenders and Jin Yiwei were attracted into the imperial city. How could he escape?
Zhao Ji paced back and forth in the room, suddenly turned his head to look at Wang Huan, the eunuch who had been by his side for the past two years, and said hoarsely, "Wang Huan, what's going on outside? Who set fire to the palace?"

With a calm face, Wang Huan slowly shook his head and said, "Officials, there are fires everywhere in the palace. Maybe it's because of the dry weather in spring... Now Wu Song's people and Jin Yiwei's people are fighting the fire in the palace, and it's a mess."

Zhao Ji became irritable and stomped his feet: "What's happening outside the palace?"

Wang Huan suddenly smiled: "Don't worry about the officials, someone will definitely enter the palace and rescue everyone from the palace. Now they all think that it was Zhao Fu who led people to rebel in Luoyang and wanted to take Kaifeng. In fact, our real purpose is Save everyone from Tokyo, go straight to Hangzhou, and support His Majesty in Hangzhou before ascending to the throne."

Zhao Ji's complexion changed drastically.

He didn't expect that Wang Huan, the eunuch who had stayed by his side for so many years, was actually the person behind the scenes!

As for who the person behind the scenes is, Zhao Ji can't judge clearly at the moment. Although it is Princess Dekang who contacts him in the first place, Zhao Ji doesn't think that Dekang is the person behind the scenes.

Seeing that Zhao Ji's complexion was not good, Wang Huan suddenly said again: "Officials, someone will enter the palace to contact us soon, and we will take advantage of the chaos to sneak out of the palace and out of the city. As long as we can escape from Tokyo, Your Majesty will be safe. And if we arrive in Hangzhou, Once the official family ascends to the Great Treasure, the Song family, Jiangshan and Sheji will still be there."

A look of excitement and fanaticism flashed across Zhao Ji's face.

After all, he was an emperor, and no one hoped that Song could usurp it back more than him.

But he is cowardly by nature, excited only for a moment, then worried about gain and loss: "Can I go? Tokyo is guarded by Wu Song's heavy troops, I believe Wang Lin will not worry about my side, Jin Yiwei is also watching me, let alone other places , there are in the palace."

Wang Huan smiled indifferently: "Don't worry, everyone, stay safe and don't be impatient. We have been planning for several years, and we are just waiting for this day. Besides, Wu Song and Jin Yiwei both think that it was Zhao's rebellion, and the Luoyang incident will never be thought of by His Majesty. Wait After a while, we will have a chance to leave the palace."

After Wang Huan finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the palace.

Zhao Ji's face turned cold.

It never occurred to him that the servant beside him was actually a man arranged by the people behind the scenes. Then, this means that he has been calculated by others...

And judging from the attitude of these people towards him, he, the so-called Great Song Emperor who was about to be restored, was nothing more than a puppet, a prop, to put it bluntly.

In other words, it's just a cover for someone to realize their personal ambitions.

Zhao Ji felt deep sorrow in his heart.

But the arrow had to be fired, and he was really tired of such a boring life.

Day by day, he was nostalgic for the feeling of the supreme imperial power in his hands.

……

The Great Song Palace was in chaos, the black crowd and soldiers were intertwined, and the firefighting team kept going back and forth to the scene of the fire.

Yan Qing's deep eyes have been staring at the palace where Zhao Ji is.

He looked up at the sky and saw that Dongfang had already turned pale, and he couldn't help but hesitate. Could it be that he made a mistake in his judgment and the people behind the scenes didn't choose to do it today?
Could it be that the fire in the palace was really caused by the sabotage of the inner eunuch by the resentful maid?
Yan Qing's thoughts flashed.

A warm spring breeze blew past, and the fire in the palace had been brought under control. Thick smoke was billowing in the sky above the imperial city.

Yan Qing's complexion suddenly changed. Even if he and Jin Yiwei were able to sneak into the palace from the secret passage without anyone noticing, then, could the people behind the scenes have already started planning this matter a long time ago, and also dug out a route from the deep palace? A secret passage to the outside of the palace?
Yan Qing took a deep breath, and hurriedly said: "Immediately spread the word to Wu Song and order people to seal off the entire imperial city. No matter what the Marquis thinks, even a mouse in the palace can't slip out!"

Yan Qing waved her hand resolutely, and said in a deep voice: "Go, follow Benhou straight into the palace where Emperor Song lives!"

Yan Qing led people into the palace where Zhao Ji lived, and sure enough, there was no one there, and Zhao Jihong disappeared without a trace.

Yan Qing's face instantly became very ugly.

He was strictly ordered and entrusted by the emperor, no matter what, he must ensure that Zhao Ji will not be taken away by others, and must ensure his safety. If Zhao Ji was taken away from the palace, how should he explain to His Majesty?
Yan Qing was very anxious, and immediately led his Jin Yiwei to fly outside the palace.
