Great Song Pirate

Chapter 585
When Zhao Xu, who was in a rage, took Zhang Hu and other guards to leave the palace for the Crown Prince's Mansion in the East Palace, a gate guard ran in and reported to Zhao Xu: "A group of people came outside the gate, who said they were the servants of Mr. Xu from Hangzhou. , the person in charge calls himself Li Bo, please see the prince!"

After Zhao Xuwen heard this, he immediately stopped in his tracks, with a look of astonishment on his face, and said anxiously: "What are you talking about? Mr. Xu's servant? Hurry up!"

Soon Li Bo was invited into the mansion by King Ji's bodyguards, and saw Zhao Xu in a room in the front yard, but Zhang Hu immediately left some of the most loyal bodyguards, and shunned some irrelevant people on the left and right.

"The villain sees His Royal Highness Ji Wang!" Although Li Bo faced a prince, he didn't hesitate at all, and bowed to Ji Wang generously.

"Excuse me! Get up and answer!" Zhao Xu looked at Li Bo, and he really recognized him as Xu Yi's bodyguard. He was overjoyed and said hastily.

"Thank you, my lord!" Li Bo stood up from the ground and thanked him.

"Why are you here now, where is Mr. Xu?" Zhao Xu asked hastily.

Li Bo looked around at Zhao Xu and immediately said, "Don't worry, Zhang Hu is my closest bodyguard, if you have something to say, it's okay to say it!"

Li Bo then said: "My young master just learned about such a big event a few days ago, and he is rushing back with all his strength, and ordered the younger one to go ahead and come to see the prince! And ordered the younger one to stay here, and must protect the prince thoroughly!"

As soon as Zhao Xu heard Li Bo's words, his anger towards Xu Yi dissipated a lot, and he was a little moved in his heart. Anyway, he still remembered his friend, and when he got the news, he sent someone to risk his life to protect him. It shows that Xu Yi still cares about him, so he nodded and said: "Then I would like to thank your young master, there is no one else here, so you can finally tell me your young master's identity!"

Li Bo smiled slightly and said, "Of course, but the prince must already know about it!"

"Of course, Mr. Xu fought south and north at sea, killed the black scarves on the Huainan Road, conquered the river on the Liangzhe Road, occupied Liuqiu Island, went south to attack Annan, and went north to fight against the Japanese country. Did you hear about one or two?" Zhao Xu smiled.

Li Bo also smiled, bowed and said: "That's right, it seems that the prince already knows the details of my young master, so I have nothing to hide!"

After they talked a little bit about Xu Yi, Zhao Xu was very excited about Xu Yi's current strength. Although he knew something about Xu Yi, he didn't expect that Xu Yi would be at sea for only a few years , has accumulated such a strong strength, which is much more powerful than he imagined. Although such a force is not enough to compete with Jin Guo, it can still play a considerable role at critical times.

Li Bo didn't tell Zhao Xu that the Fubo Army still has a large number of super powerful weapons. Such a thing is a secret of the Fubo Army, and it will not be shown to others until the critical time!

"It's a pity! Mr. Xu... oh... he should be called the head of the family. It's a pity, this time, the incident happened suddenly, and you just left the Song Dynasty and went to the country of Wa. Otherwise, you Fubo Army It may be of great help to Da Song, but it seems that you have come back a bit too late now, the Jin soldiers have already crossed the Yellow River, and I am afraid that they will soon come to the city, so what is the use of the people you brought?" Although he was happy for a while, when he thought about the fact that Jin Bing had crossed the river, Zhao Xu became worried again.

For Li Bo, he was shocked when he heard that the Jin people seized the Yellow River Floating Bridge in Junzhou on the way this time. Bing, let Jin Bing cross the Yellow River so easily, he can't help worrying about the future of Song Dynasty, but the matter has come to this point, he only has such a small number of men, and he is not arrogant enough to think that he can stop Jin Bing from pressing In Bianliang City, the battle has reached such a level, Li Bo is really disappointed with the generals of the Song Dynasty, and has nothing to say!So he took out a letter written by Xu Yi from his bosom, handed it to Zhang Hu respectfully, and asked Zhang Hu to hand it over to Zhao Xu.

After Zhao Xu took the letter, he opened it immediately and read Xu Yi's letter at a glance. Li Bo didn't even know what Xu Yi wrote in the letter to make Zhao Xu's expression like this, but the two of them couldn't ask about it, so they could only stand aside and wait for Zhao Xu to speak.

After Zhao Xu read Xu Yi's handwritten letter, he turned his head and read it carefully again, then slowly tore up the letter, threw it on the ground, walked slowly to the door, and listened to the noisy people outside the palace. After a long time of silence, he turned to Li Bo and said, "How many people did you bring with you today?"

Li Bo bowed and replied: "The next time I come here, my lord ordered me to bring 300 people, all of whom are the elite of the Fubo Army, and they are absolutely reliable people, specially here to protect the prince!"

"Then it's hard work for you guys, Zhang Hu, make arrangements for Mr. Xu and his subordinates to enter the mansion first, change into the clothes of the palace guards, and go to the East Palace with me!" Zhao Xu ordered.

Zhang Hu nodded immediately, and then went out to make arrangements. Not long after, the brothers brought by Li Bo filed into the palace through several gates. It is not a big problem to accommodate them in such a large palace. Zhang Hu He also sent people to get some clothes for the imperial guards. Regardless of these trivial matters, Zhao Xu took Zhang Hu and other guards out of the palace and headed for the prince's palace.

When Zhao Xu entered the Crown Prince's Mansion, he couldn't help being stunned again, because the Crown Prince's Mansion was in chaos at this time, many guards, maids, and house slaves were packing things in a panic, and there was a commotion everywhere, and Zhao Xu's heart ached. It sank completely.

When he saw Zhao Heng, Zhao Heng was sitting in the study with a slumped face, calligraphy and paintings scattered on the floor, it seemed that he was in a very bad mood.

"Seventh brother came to see me at this time, what's the matter?" Zhao Heng asked Zhao Xu without even bothering to raise his eyelids.

Zhao Xu bowed and replied: "Now that the golden man has crossed the Yellow River, my foolish brother came here specially to ask Brother Huang what his plans are now!"

Zhao Heng casually threw a book on the messy table, and said with a wry smile: "Plan? What can I plan? Now that the father has been instigated by Cai You and others, he has made up his mind to go. I am afraid that he will leave Bian soon." Liang Li, once the father and emperor leave Bianliang, the army will be in chaos. How can I stop the fierce soldiers of the Kingdom of Jin? And I am only a prince, so what can I do? Now that the matter is over, I advise the seventh brother to prepare quickly. Leave Bianliang City as soon as possible! I’m afraid you won’t be able to leave if it’s too late! I’m only persuading you for the sake of my brothers. The other brothers have already made preparations and planned to leave Bianliang overnight. Withdraw to Nanjing Yingtian Mansion, then go to Bozhou and transfer to Yangzhou to take refuge temporarily! The Jin soldiers are coming so hard this time, I'm afraid they won't be able to stop them!"

From Zhao Heng's mouth, Zhao Xu heard the strong fear in his heart, so Dang Li said angrily: "I won't go! The Jin army is approaching the city, and now we are waiting for the royal family to abandon the city and flee. Isn't it cold?" Have the hearts of countless soldiers and civilians in the Song Dynasty? I think Bianliang now has nearly [-] soldiers and horses, and there are more than a million people in the city, and the golden soldiers are only [-]. If we strictly guard against it, what can the golden soldiers do to us? Now King Qin's soldiers and horses are on the road, as long as we persist until King Qin's soldiers and horses arrive here, the Jin people will be self-defeating and retreat, and now if we give up Bianliang, the Jin people will become even more arrogant, then we The centuries-old foundation of the Zhao family will be completely destroyed! I will not leave! I advise His Royal Highness to stay. If the father insists on leaving, let the father go. The two of us brothers will lead the army and the people in the city. , defend the enemy together, as long as the soldiers and civilians in the city are united, the Jin people will definitely not do anything to us!"

A look of shame flashed across Zhao Heng's face, but he immediately darkened his face and said, "Crazy words! You must know that the fierceness of the Jinren is no match for even the fierce soldiers of Daliao, and you can see that they The army started to attack our Great Song Dynasty. It took only a long time for them to fight all the way to the outside of Bianliang City. With the current strength of our city, King Qin's division is far away from hundreds of miles away. I don't know when they will be here. Now If you don't leave, when King Qin's soldiers and horses arrive here, I'm afraid Bianliang City has already become a ruin. If we are all gone, how can we talk about the restoration of the Song Dynasty? Don't mention this again, clean it up quickly Let's leave the city as soon as possible and go to Yingtian Mansion to take shelter!"

Zhao Xu is so angry!Originally, he thought that this imperial brother was stronger than the other brothers, but he did not expect that the crown prince Zhao Heng was so cowardly in his bones. In this way, even if his father Huangchan was in his position a few days ago, he might not be able to count on him to turn the tide. It's down, and from his words, Zhao Xu can also fully hear that he has already made up his mind to go, and like his father, he is not optimistic about defending Bianliang City. If this is really the case, then he really should After hearing what Xu Yi said, the Great Song Dynasty is in danger!
Zhao Xu was full of resentment, and was about to speak when a man from the Yellow Gate trotted in and said to Prince Zhao Heng: "His Royal Highness, there is a decree to order the Prince to go to the palace to discuss matters quickly! The prince discusses!"

Zhao Heng waved his hand to let the yellow gate retreat, then looked at Zhao Xu and said, "It just so happens that you are here too, it seems that Father is going to announce the move of the capital, you should go with me, when you arrive in the palace, you will naturally Got it! It doesn’t matter if we move the capital, the Jin people just want to get the land north of the Yellow River. They really took down Bianliang City. As long as we make peace with them and give them the land, they will naturally return to the north of the Yellow River! Let’s go Let's go!" After speaking, he stood up and walked outside.

At this moment, Zhao Xu's heart can be said to be as dead as hell, he even staggered a little, and followed Zhao Heng towards the palace. In, discuss here.

When they arrived at the main hall, many ministers had already gathered here, and they were whispering to each other with worried faces. They knew what they were talking about without asking. Few people took the initiative to say hello to Zhao Xu, and Zhao Xu didn't bother to take care of these things, and walked into the hall with his head held high.

And those ministers, after Zhao Heng and Zhao Xu stood at the forefront, were still whispering in the back, discussing the relocation of the capital, not many people were discussing how to resist the golden soldiers, Zhao Xu wanted to kick these goods to kick After death, not long after, Zhao Ji walked into the hall with the support of two court ladies. After everyone saw Zhao Ji, they immediately shut up and became quiet.

Zhao Ji's complexion was very bad, and he could tell that he hadn't slept well for several days. A few days ago, the ministers asked him to give the throne to Zhao Heng. One after another, he, the emperor, of course has a headache.

"Are you all here? Today, you are sent to discuss matters. I think everyone knows why. Now the army of Jin soldiers is approaching the outside of Bianliang City, and the ferocity of the Jin people is far beyond my expectations. In order to It can better resist the Jin soldiers and ensure that the Song Dynasty is not lost. After careful consideration in the past two days, I decided to temporarily move the capital to Yingtian Mansion. Now the Jin soldiers have passed the Yellow River and are rushing here. At this time Don't let me wait any longer, today we will leave Bianliang and go to Yingtian Mansion to temporarily avoid the sharp edge of the Jin soldiers, and all lovers will follow me to Yingtian Mansion, where we will wait for King Qin's army to block the Jin soldiers' offensive. To fight back!
Now I appoint Prince Zhao Heng to stay behind in Tokyo and be responsible for the defense of Bianliang in Tokyo. I hope you, Prince, will show a good performance and firmly guard Bianliang City. Drag the golden soldiers here, and wait for the King's division to come to support you. You must not let it down What I expected of you! "

As soon as Zhao Ji's words fell, there was a commotion in the hall, and several ministers headed by Li Gang immediately came out, knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty can't do it! How can the Holy Majesty move the capital at this time? The golden soldiers are close by!" So close, the Holy One should raise his arms and shout, calling on the soldiers and civilians of Bianliang City to fight against the enemy together, but now that we leave this place and abandon the city, where will the millions of people in Bianliang be left?"

What they said made Zhao Ji quite unable to step down, so he turned his attention to his group of close ministers. Cai You immediately went out of work and said angrily to Li Gang and others: "How can you, as ministers, talk like this? You must know that the Holy Majesty How can you stay in Bianliang to risk your life in the body of the Ninth Five-Year Lord? And you only think about the people of the Li people, when did you think about the Holy One? And the reason why the Holy One decided to move the capital was not to retreat. , the purpose is to better control the Song Dynasty and defend against the enemy together? What's more, the Holy Majesty didn't say to give up Bianliang. Didn't the Holy Majesty already say that His Highness the Prince would stay behind in Tokyo to control the soldiers and horses and resist the Jin soldiers? ? How can you people criticize the majesty's painstaking efforts so much? You really deserve death!"

Shameless, shameless, Zhao Ji is shameless, these bastards around him are even more shameless to the extreme, loyal ministers have become treacherous people in their mouths, and they just want to escape this dangerous place quickly, Of course Li Gang and the others would not listen to them, and immediately retorted, angrily accusing them of being traitors of the Song Dynasty, people who harmed the country and the people, and it was because of them that the trouble was so unmanageable, and the two sides quarreled in the hall. , It's like a busy market.

Zhao Xu was also pale with anger, turned his head to look at Prince Zhao Heng, saw Zhao Heng's complexion was pale at this time, and his hands were trembling slightly, and then looked up at Zhao Ji, seeing Zhao Ji's expression was also very ugly , So he went out of the class angrily and said angrily: "Shut up, everyone, now the golden soldiers are approaching the city, and you don't want to think about how to defend against the enemy, but you are arguing about this here, Cai You! Let me tell you, Li Gang and the others are right, you You are a group of people who have harmed the country and the people. The reason why the Song Dynasty has reached such a point is because of you treacherous ministers!

Your Majesty!You intend to leave Bianliang, but I dare not stop you, but the emperor is not talented, and you are willing to stay in Bianliang, defend against the enemy with His Highness the Crown Prince, and you are willing to live and die in Bianliang, Tokyo, and hope for the permission of the sage! "Zhao Xu was really impatient. He scolded Cai You and others angrily, and begged Zhao Ji on the spot. He didn't even call him father, but only called him the Holy One. He completely regarded himself as a courtier. It can be seen how angry Zhao Ji is. kind of degree!
Zhao Xu's voice was loud and resounding, and his words immediately caused a commotion in the hall. Originally, Cai You and other idiots were fighting against Li Gang and other main fighters, but Zhao Xu came out and scolded them all of a sudden. I was a little bit at a loss. On weekdays, this King Ji was very low-key and never said much, and because he was not well received by the emperor, they didn't care about him at all. I didn't expect that Zhao, who rarely talked on weekdays Today, Xu felt as if he had taken gunpowder, scolding them like hell, and for a while, he suppressed them, not daring to answer Zhao Xu's words!

And the few ministers who were supportive of not abandoning the city and fleeing also knelt down one after another and shouted: "I am willing to stay and accompany King Ji to fight against gold in Bianliang. Even if I die, I will have no regrets!..."

Zhao Ji also looked in surprise at this seventh son who had been honest and not very conspicuous in recent years, and suddenly felt that among these sons, he was the only one who came forward at this time, which really surprised him, and even shocked him a little. , when he was about to speak, someone below suddenly said: "Daddy Qizuo! The emperor has been feeling quite uncomfortable these days, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to take on the important task of staying behind in Tokyo. It happens that the seventh brother has such ambitions, so why doesn't the emperor appoint the seventh brother as Tokyo?" Stay behind and control the army on the Hebei Road to conspire against the gold? The emperor is willing to accompany His Majesty to Yingtian Mansion, so that he can serve His Majesty by his side at any time!"

Everyone looked at it immediately, and it turned out that it was the current prince Zhao Heng who was speaking, so the eyes of many people immediately began to change, fair and comfortable, at this critical moment, everyone's character is judged, Huizong could not count on it. At first, many ministers were unwilling to abandon Tokyo, so they pinned their hopes on Prince Zhao Heng, but unexpectedly, Zhao Heng also had diarrhea like his father at this time He actually refused to stay in Bianliang, Tokyo, and planned to escape from Bianliang with Huizong. As a result, many people underestimated Zhao Heng in their hearts, and some people even made a mocking cry at the back of the court. With a sneer, Zhao Heng, who was begging Zhao Ji to leave Bianliang together, immediately felt a burst of shame on his face, wishing he could just find a crack in the ground and get down.

Zhao Ji looked at the crown prince Zhao Heng, and then at Zhao Xu who stood proudly in front of him and begged to stay and guard Bianliang. He felt even more emotional. He was also his own son, and the other was the current crown prince, but he did not share his worries. To solve the problem, at this juncture, I wanted to run away with myself, but at this moment, the other son, who was never liked by me, stepped forward and wanted to stay and defend myself against the golden soldiers. Xu Xu's opinion changed a lot.

"As expected of my son, good! good! good!" Zhao Ji said three good words in succession, but everyone couldn't tell whether he was mocking Zhao Heng or praising Zhao Xu, or maybe both!

"Since the prince is not feeling well, let's go to Yingtian Mansion with me! Today, I appointed King Ji to stay behind in Tokyo, and at the same time, he will also serve as the Marshal of the Hebei Army, commanding all the soldiers and horses to fight against the Jinren! Li Gang! I will You were promoted to be the minister of the Ministry of War and the envoy of Tokyo's four walls, to assist King Ji in guarding Tokyo, Wu Min! I ordered you to be the military transport envoy of Tokyo, and you will stay in Tokyo..." Zhao Ji issued many appointments in a series, and those forces He left all the ministers who could not abandon Tokyo to accompany Zhao Xu to fight against the gold in Tokyo, and the rest of the princes and ministers went to Yingtian Mansion with him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! My Majesty, please rest assured! As long as my son is still alive, I will never let the golden man step into Bianliang City! If Bianliang falls, my son will never live in mediocrity! Set in Bianliang, Tokyo Soldiers and civilians live and die together!" Zhao Xu knelt down to accept the order with a face of grief and indignation, and said loudly.

"I will never let Tokyo Bianliang fall into the hands of my ministers, even if they are so heartbroken!" Li Gang, Wu Min and others also followed Zhao Xu and knelt down to receive the decree, and said to Zhao Ji, all of them had a desperate look, The sound spread to all corners of the entire hall.

At this time, some civil servants and military generals who had not spoken all the time were encouraged by Zhao Xu and others. Holy Grace!"

Zhao Ji took a look at them, and there are still loyal ministers in times of crisis!But he really didn't want to delay here any longer. God knows when the Jin soldiers will arrive at the city of Bianliang, so he waved his hand and said, "Since you are willing to stay, then stay and assist King Ji to fight against the gold. From now on, Tokyo Bianliang The soldiers and horses, except for the Yulin Army who followed me south, all the people in the city are assigned by King Ji, and there is no violation! Disperse the court!" As soon as the voice fell, Zhao Ji stood up, wanting to leave the hall and leave Bianliang as soon as possible This is no longer a safe place.

"Your Majesty, I still have something to announce!" Just as Huizong got up to leave, another person came out to announce.

(From now on, don't repeat history! Everything has changed!)
