"Master may not have imagined Queen Mother Wei's attitude!"

"What do you think!"

Wang sneered and said: "The Empress Dowager Wei scolded the officials for being stupid and greedy for money, especially for copying the Shi's house, it was like digging her own grave."

"She's not wrong, but she doesn't know that this day will come sooner or later, starting from the government's plundering of merchants."

Wang shook her head, "I don't care about these principles. I only care about whether a coup will break out and whether it will affect us."

Qin Hui sighed, "I don't know, if possible, we'd better prepare two more options."

The first thousand and 440 seven chapters are in danger

During this period of time, Chen Qing was also very concerned about the situation in Lin'an. Although the State of Jin might develop the Iron Fire Thunder, the State of Jin did not have the ability to mass-produce it, and it could not pose a threat in the short term. However, the situation in Lin'an was different. Chen Qing felt strongly that the accumulation of various conflicts over the past few years had reached the point of explosion, and it was very likely that the situation would be broken.

At this time, Chen Qing had already arrived at Hanyang Mansion. The reason why he was in Hanyang Mansion instead of Xiangyang was mainly because Hanyang Mansion was a transfer station for pigeon letters. Jingzhao.

In addition, sending letters from Hanyang Mansion to the Western Army camp on the north bank of the Yangtze River in Yangzhou, set off on a fast horse, and deliver letters five times on the way, and it will take three days to arrive.

Chen Qing did not live on the shore, but on a big ship docked on the west bank of the Han River. Of course, it was his one hundred thousand shi ship. This time, only Yao Mei accompanied him. Because of the winter, his legs needed to person care.

Chen Qing was lying on a high couch next to the ship window, wearing only a thick robe and a thick quilt covering his body. He was looking at a copy of the information he had just received.

Yao Mei knelt down and carefully wrapped her husband's thigh injury with a hot towel. The old scar from many years ago turned red after being steamed. The wound, while gently massaging him.

Of course, when a concubine gives her husband a massage, she always wipes her gun and misfires, but Yao Mei has good eyesight. She knows that her husband is looking at extremely important military information, so she relaxes the massage and does not touch the part where the gun was wiped, so as not to disturb his body. concentrate.

Chen Qing was indeed looking at the extremely important military intelligence. Han Shizhong had led an army of [-] to go south quickly, and Liu Kai from West Zhejiang had also led an army of [-] to return to Lin'an. Thousands of troops.

At the same time, [-] Wenzhou troops have left Yongjia County and are rushing to Lin'an. Lu Gangzai also briefly analyzed the balance of forces. Of the [-] troops stationed in Lin'an, only [-] are loyal to the emperor, and the other [-] are controlled by the powerful. This is also the main reason why Emperor Zhao Gou did not dare to use the Plum Blossom Guard to cleanse the dignitaries of Lin'an City.

Once it came to the point where the fish were killed and the net was broken, the rich and powerful would inevitably turn back crazily, which was also what Chen Qing expected.

In fact, from the very beginning, Chen Qing had no intention of letting go of these court dignitaries. He always clearly distinguished allies and enemies when attacking the world, win over the nobles, treat the rich and powerful well, and attack the powerful and powerful.

What are the similarities and differences between rich and powerful? They have many similarities. They are both local prominent families, enjoy prestige in the local area, and both infiltrate the government, but there is only one difference between them. Basically, there is an additional army. Yes, it is precisely because of the army that all places will be suppressed by the Western Army.

The rich and powerful are not only powerful, but also the real masters of the wealth of a dynasty. If their wealth is not deprived, where does the original accumulation of the new dynasty come from?

Both sides dispatched troops, and internal strife would inevitably erupt. Chen Qingruo felt it, and pushed Yao Mei lightly, and gave her a wink.

At this time, there was a knock on the door suddenly, Yao Mei was startled, she quickly got out of the quilt, covered her husband's quilt, and asked, "What's the matter?"

The maid outside Chunshui said: "Little madam, there is another urgent letter from the shore!"

Chen Qing was refreshed. He just saw the pigeon letter from two days ago, and now there must be a major change, so he quickly ordered Yao Mei to get the letter.

Yao Mei got up to get the letter, closed the door again, and handed the copy to her husband. Seeing that it was getting dark outside, she simply pulled down the curtains, took off her dress and got under the quilt.

Chen Qing embraced his concubine while reading the letter, which said that Du Wanrong led [-] troops to forcefully enter the city from Yongjinmen, but was repelled by the central part of Yang Yi, and Xiang Kui led a thousand soldiers to help attack Yongjinmen. The Yizhong army was wiped out, and Xiang Kui was shot and killed by random arrows.

In addition, the emperor is no longer in the palace, and his whereabouts are unknown.

"Good! Good!"

Chen Qing couldn't hold back his excitement, and even said hello to him, Yao Mei put his arms around his neck and said, "Since it's all agreed, husband, let's think of a name for our baby!"

Chen Qing was startled, "You have it!"

"Not yet, but if my husband sows more seeds tonight, maybe there will be."

Chen Qing laughed, put his arms around his concubine and said, "Come on! Let's start tonight's planting plan!"

……

The contradictions in Lin'an have intensified in an all-round way. Du Wanrong, the commander of the Shenwu Central Army stationed in Yuhang County, attempted to seize control of Lin'an City, and led the army to attack Yongjinmen at night. He led [-] troops to repel three attacks by Du Wanrong's department with strong attack and hard crossbows, and shot and killed more than [-] people.

Wan Kui led one thousand Xiangjiazhuang Ding to try to take over Du Wanrong's troops from the inner city. Unexpectedly, the news got out and he was ambushed by three thousand soldiers ambushing on both sides of the street. Killed instantly.

Now that his face had been torn apart, the emperor Zhao Gou had no scruples and ordered Yan Xin to lead a thousand plum blossoms to search Xiang's house, forcing Xiang Desheng to commit suicide.

A thousand Plum Blossom Guards surrounded Xiang's house, at this time Xiang Desheng was like an ant on a hot pot, running around in a hurry in the inner hall, Du Wanrong was his son-in-law, and he was the one who arranged for Du Wanrong to attack Lin'an City tonight, unexpectedly Yang Yizhong was shrewd Incomparably, after seeing through Du Wanrong's plan, the plan that was originally a sure thing suddenly became uncertain.

At this time, the butler came and cried, "Master, our Zhuang Ding was ambushed and killed, and Mr. Kui is also dead!"

The news was like a bolt from the blue, Xiang Desheng sat down slumped, couldn't help crying, his brother was taken captive to Liaodong, and died in Liaodong, only Xiang Kui was left, and Xiang Kui was still dead. Sorry bro!

Not long after, the housekeeper came to report again, this time with panic in his tone, "Master, the Plum Blossom Guards have surrounded our mansion."

It was expected that Zhao Gou would strike at him, but he did not expect that Plum Blossom Guard would come so quickly.

He waved to Desheng and asked the steward to go out. At this moment, he was ashamed and knew that he had failed. If Du Wanrong's army could not enter the city immediately, he would be in danger.

But Xiang Desheng didn't want to escape, as long as his children and grandchildren could escape, his own life and death didn't matter, he would rather die than surrender to Zhao Gou.

At this time, hurried footsteps came from outside, and more than 300 plum blossom soldiers surrounded the inner hall where he was, and Pan Ji, the commander, said loudly on the steps: "Son, please go on the way to the Patriarch, and Yan Dutong promises to protect your whole body." !"

"Then...please do it!"

With a wave of Pan Ji's hand, three soldiers walked in and wrapped a white silk around Xiang Desheng's neck. The two soldiers pulled hard and Xiang Desheng was gradually strangled to death.

The first thousand 440 eight chapters hiding

Emperor Zhao Gou was not in the palace. He took Empress Dowager Wei and a few confidant guards to hide in the Meilu Nunnery on the back mountain of Phoenix Mountain. Practice here.

The reason why he chose this place was because the Empress Dowager Zheng was a monk here at the beginning. Zhao Gou came here several times to visit the empress dowager Zheng, and he found that it was very hidden. The ship escaped.

Of course, Zhao Gou will not escape for the time being. Although the situation is dangerous, it is still under his control. Lin'an is controlled by [-] elite soldiers from Yang Yizhong, [-] plum blossom guards from Yan Xin, and [-] guards in the palace. , these are troops loyal to themselves.

And the opponent has only 2 people in the Lin'an area, and his own troops are clearly superior, so he will not escape.

But when he received urgent information, Du Wanrong led [-] troops to kill from Yuhang County. He was so frightened that he sent someone to notify Yang Yizhong to defend, but he hid in Meiluan.

In fact, he was not only afraid of Du Wanrong's [-] troops, he was even more afraid of Wang Jian's [-] Wenzhou troops. The latest news he got was that Wang Jian's troops had already reached Shaoxing Mansion, while Han Shizhong's [-] troops had just arrived in Pingjiang Mansion. It is very likely that Wang Jian's [-] troops will arrive in Lin'an first.

Of course, Han Shizhong can't be blamed for this. It is closer from Wenzhou to Lin'an Mansion than Zhenjiang Mansion, and Han Shizhong's marching speed is fast enough.

At this time, his confidant guard Li Jian reported: "Your Majesty, Yang Dutong asked for instructions, saying that the morale of Du Wanrong's army is low. He wants to lead the army out of the city and wipe out the enemy!"

Zhao Gou thought about it and agreed, "Go and tell Yang Dutong that I agree to his request!"

Li Jian then galloped towards the palace on horseback. He is now the emperor Zhao Gou's liaison with the outside world.

……

At this time, Zhong Huan and four of his men dressed up as plum blossom guards were patrolling the palace. In fact, both Lin'an and the palace were in chaos. The emperor and the queen mother ran away. exists.

Although there are rumors in the palace that the emperor escaped by boat, Zhong Huan, as the ruler of the internal guards, told Zhong Huan from his experience that the emperor did not run away and was still near the palace. The reason is very simple. With more than a dozen guards, they are obviously hidden somewhere.

At this moment, Zou Shuan hurried over and whispered to Zhong Huan, "Maybe I know where he is hiding?"

"How?" Zhong Huan asked anxiously.

"I saw Li Jian just now. He is the emperor's confidant bodyguard. He takes him everywhere. He rode to the front office. He must be delivering an edict for the emperor."

Zhong Huan immediately said: "Which way does he go, we will wait for him by the side of the road!"

Zou Shuan was very familiar with the roads of the palace. He took Zhong Huan and other four people to wait on the east side of the mountain road.

About half an hour later, the night had fallen quietly, and suddenly there was the sound of horseshoes on the mountain road, and I saw a guard riding a horse with a torch. Zou Shuan immediately recognized this person, and whispered to Zhong Huan: "He is Li Jane!"

Zhong Huan nodded, "Follow him!"

Riding horses on the mountain road required detours. Zhong Huan and the others took a straight line and could keep up with Li Jian. They galloped through the jungle and followed Li Jian on horseback. When they reached the back mountain, Li Jian suddenly turned and walked along A path went down.

"Where does the path ahead lead to?"

Zou Shuan thought for a while, then suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "I see, there is only one place down there, called Meilu Temple. It is a nunnery. It is very hidden, and most people don't know about it."

"Then how do you know?"

Zou Shuanhong blushed, and Ai Ai said: "When I first came here, I had some bad intentions. I thought the nunnery could take advantage of it, so I sneaked here with two of my men. I searched for a long time before I found it. Unexpectedly, there were old nuns inside, so I lost interest. "

Zhong Huan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You can still make meritorious deeds with such a bad taste. If you succeed this time, I will definitely show your contribution to His Royal Highness King Yong. It is no problem to come to my inner guard to be a commander."

Zou Shuan was excited, and pointed to the road and said, "Go straight along the mountain road, climb over the wall after descending the mountain, and you will come out of the palace. It's only two or three miles away. I know a small road. I'll lead the way later."

"it is good!"

With a way out, Zhong Huan became more at ease, and he said to a strong subordinate: "Go down and have a look, there must be chariots around the Meilu Temple, but don't startle the snakes."

"Follow the order!"

His soldiers are like foxes, 'whoosh! 'The ground disappeared.

Zhong Huan made deployments according to the terrain. Not long after, his subordinates came back, clasped their fists and said: "The humble officer found Mei Luan, and also found two light chariots, one with a phoenix on top, which should belong to the Queen Mother." , and the other is the dragon head."

"Continue to monitor and report any situation at any time!"

The soldiers under him quickly disappeared again.

……

At this time, Li Jian submitted a secret report from Yan Xin to the emperor Zhao Gou. After reading the secret report, Zhao Gou's face became more gloomy. There were three things in Yan Xin's report. I heard from the butler that he sent it away, but he didn't know where it was sent, and it might be in a certain manor.

Like the Shi family, the Xiang family is also wealthy. All the wealth of the Queen Mother's private house was given to the Xiang family back then, and it was not taken away by Jin Guo. They transferred it to Jiangnan in advance. The wealth of the Xiang family is also jealous Zhao Gou was so happy that the goal was not copied.

The second thing is to find the covenant and plan of the dignitaries. The covenant is in the hands of Zhao Gou. It is clearly written that Zhao Bocong, the seventh grandson of Taizu, will be the new emperor and replace the current emperor. There are 25 on it. Signature and fingerprint of the head of the family, the evidence of treason is conclusive.

However, the content of the plan made Zhao Gou startled. It said that each family called Zhuang Ding in advance and hid in the mansion. When the army attacked Lin'an City, they should cooperate with each other and seize the city.

This is not a whimsical plan, but an extremely realistic plan that has been deployed. The evidence is that Xiang Kui led a thousand Zhuang Ding to attack Yongjinmen. He would really be caught off guard by these thousand fully armed Zhuang Ding.

Zhao Gou also realized the seriousness of the problem. He read Yan Xin's secret report again. Yan Xin suggested to use the list in the covenant book to confiscate all the more than [-] dignitaries tonight, annihilate their hidden Zhuang Ding in the mansion, and remove This hidden danger.

Tomorrow Wang Jian's [-] troops may reach the city of Lin'an, and they only have their last chance tonight.

Zhao Gou was heartbroken, and he took up a pen and wrote on Yan Xin's secret report: "I agree, Yang Yizhong's army returns to the city, and they will attack immediately. All participants will be executed, and Zhao Bocong will be eradicated together." '

The first thousand and 440 nine chapters qualitative change

Lin'an City was bloody and rainy, all 20 Plum Blossom Guard soldiers were mobilized and surrounded more than [-] mansions. The soldiers rushed in and killed people. Both young and old were killed, and women were not spared. They were abused by soldiers, followed by looting and ransacking, and all the property that could be moved was looted.

Even the families next door to these powerful people were affected, and the soldiers killed and looted in the chaos without any scruples.

The "Beijing News" was hated by the generals of the Meihuawei because it often exposed and criticized the Meihuawei for extorting businessmen and lax military discipline. There was no oil or water, so he simply set a fire and burned the newspaper.

Hundreds of Plum Blossom Guard soldiers rushed into Wanbao Cabinet Shop and Jiangnan Cabinet Shop. The two cabinet shops were prepared in advance, and the money and personnel were transferred in advance. There are two cabinets.

As time went by, the soldiers of the Plum Blossom Guard became unruly and became more and more unrestrained. Military discipline became disorganized. As long as they were rich families, they rushed in and robbed them. Many high-ranking officials' mansions were also attacked, and several prime minister's mansions were also looted. .

More than a dozen members of Xu Xiantu's family hid in the secret room and shivered. When they came out, the whole mansion was completely devastated. Being swept away, Xu Xiantu trembled all over, too angry to say a word.

At this time, there was crying in the yard, and he walked out tremblingly, only to find that the old butler who had followed him for 30 years had been pierced in the chest by a sharp object and fell in a pool of blood, and several maidservants curled up in the corner in disheveled clothes. cry.

Xu Xiantu knelt down, raised his hands, and shouted to the sky in grief and indignation, "God! The Great Song Dynasty is the best."

……

Yang Yizhong won a great victory outside the city, wiped out Du Wanrong's troops, and captured more than [-] people. Du Wanrong was killed by his own soldiers in the chaos, and his head was dedicated to Yang Yizhong.

At this time, Yang Yizhong had received the news of the chaos in Lin'an City. He was shocked and led his army back to Lin'an City. As a team, rush to various parts of the city to stop the Plum Blossom Guard soldiers from committing violence, and those who do not obey the order will be killed!

The [-] troops were dispatched quickly and rushed to all parts of the city to stop the Plum Blossom Guard from committing violence. Although the Plum Blossom Guard soldiers were tyrannical and vicious in front of the people, they were mobs in front of the real army. Either resist in the corner and be beheaded on the spot.

Yang Yizhong found Yan Xin, the capital of the Plum Blossom Guard, and angrily reprimanded him: "You are ruining the reputation of the emperor and the country of the Song Dynasty by indulging the soldiers!"

Yan Xin said coldly: "I have a secret decree from the emperor to wipe out 25 rebels. I act according to the decree. How can General Yang criticize me?"

"It only takes a few hundred people to deal with the powerful and imprison them. Does it need to send out tens of thousands of troops and cause chaos in the whole city?"

Yan Xin squinted his eyes and said: "General Yang is lying down and talking without pain in his back. Wan Kui led a thousand Zhuang Ding to attack the army, you forgot? Wang Jian's [-] troops have come and cooperated with each other, can Lin'an City be saved? Can the emperor's life be saved?"

"However, you can't burn, kill, rape, and harm innocent people at will. Even the prime minister's government will not be spared. The whole Lin'an city is bloody and bloody. How do you explain it to the emperor?"

Yan Xin denied it straight away: "That's the rascals in the city taking advantage of the fire to rob, my army won't do that kind of thing!"

Yang Yizhong gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Whenever I see soldiers raped and burned, I will treat them as scoundrels and behead them!"

Yan Xin was furious, and shouted: "Yang, if you dare to attack my soldiers, I will impeach you to the heavens for colluding with the powerful and attempting to rebel!"

Yang Yizhong sneered and said, "You should save yourself first! Your soldiers even burned down the "Beijing News" newspaper and the official office of King Yong's special envoy, which gave Chen Qing a reason to send troops to destroy Song Dynasty, whether it was Song Dynasty or Yongguo , you are doomed!"

After finishing speaking, Yang Yizhong turned his horse's head and went away. Yan Xin was stunned. After a long while, he suddenly said furiously, "Whoever burned down the newspaper office and the special envoy's office, I caught him, and I will kill him with my own hands!"

……

At four o'clock, under the strong suppression of Yang Yizhong's army, the riots of the Plum Blossom Guard soldiers gradually subsided, but Lin'an City was devastated.

Yan Xin had his own strategy to save his life. He ordered the soldiers to gather all the property looted by the soldiers. Although the soldiers were extremely dissatisfied, the emperor must be satisfied. up.

At five o'clock, another important news came. Wang Jian's [-] troops were ambushed by Liu Kai's [-] troops at the western foot of Kuaiji Mountain. Wang Jian's army was defeated, and countless people were killed and captured. By the time the six thousand remnants fled south in panic.
