Northern Song Dynasty gangster: Start the game with a dog's head, and Mr. Bao spares his life

Seeing that Cao Bin gave him a chance to redeem his sins, the imperial physician checked very hard, and after several confirmations, he said:

"This arrow is coated with aconitum poison, which penetrates directly into the lungs, and is best at attacking the heart."

"Thanks to the early arrival of the arrow, the poisoning is not deep... Your Majesty will immediately prepare the medicine to detoxify!"

Everyone is speechless, they are all dead, are they still poisoned?

Cao Bin also probably understood the cause of the emperor's sudden cardiac arrest. According to the imperial physician, the symptoms caused by aconitum poison were very similar to arrhythmia and myocardial infarction.

However, everyone ignored the imperial physician's self-defense and just asked about the specific situation of the emperor.

After hearing that they could save their lives, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

As for whether there will be sequelae, I can't care so much.

The form of the capital is not good at all, but the emperor did not expect the "rumor" to be fulfilled.

It seems that returning to Beijing is also a troublesome matter.

People's hearts are the most unpredictable. If you know that the emperor is hopeless, even the most loyal people may betray under the general trend.

Once the imperial court has determined their status, it will be difficult to reverse the situation even if everyone has soldiers and power.

Fighting in the court is not enough to have soldiers, not to mention that in addition to the [-] imperial guards stationed in the capital, there are also local soldiers called by the king of Yan.

At least in terms of numbers, it is no less than the anti-Liao army that suffered heavy losses.

This is also the reason why the emperor was eager to return to Beijing.

It would be ridiculous if he was respected as the Supreme Emperor, and he had no children, and if he didn't handle one well, even the soldiers around him might betray him.

After all, they are all of Zhao's blood, and the psychological pressure on the courtiers to change their families will not be "too great".

And it's not just a matter of who wins and who loses. After two wars, the court has already suffered heavy losses.

If there is another internal struggle, it will have a huge blow to the prestige and strength of the court and the emperor.

Even if the rebellion is finally wiped out, Song Dynasty will not be stable in the next few years.

"Lord Hou, we have defeated the Liao army, and killed all the captives."

When the imperial physician was treating the emperor's wounds, the sedan chair also came back to give orders.

Cao Bin nodded in satisfaction, his anger gradually subsided and he said:

"Very good......"

At this moment, the emperor poured down the antidote soup and came back to his senses. With tears in his eyes, he grabbed Cao Bin's hand and said:

"Juncai, it's all in your hands that I can be reborn as a human being. I dare to swear that I will never betray you in the future...cough cough"

Cao Bin saw that he had nothing to do, and he didn't know how to thank him, so he said quickly:

"I dare not be a minister, this is the duty of a minister, Your Majesty must take care of the dragon body!"

Just listen to the emperor's words, if you take it seriously, then you should be out of luck.

Seeing that the emperor had stabilized, Kou Zhun immediately suggested:

"Your Majesty, time is running out now. The longer the delay, the worse the situation in Beijing and China will be."

"It's better for His Majesty to write an edict by hand, and ask Zhong Jinghou to lead the troops back to Beijing first, so as to stabilize people's hearts."

"In this way, the loss of the court can be minimized."

The emperor was about to answer, but Concubine Pan quit, and immediately interjected:

"no!"

"Your Majesty, the road back to Beijing is really dangerous."

"Only when Zhong Jinghou escorts him, can the concubines feel at ease."

"His Majesty......"

At first, she still trusted Pan Renmei very much, after all, he was her own father.

Unexpectedly, Pan Renmei was so incompetent that she was defeated as soon as she came into contact with the Liao army.

The emperor was almost killed, and she herself was almost captured alive by the Liao people.

She never wanted to experience the fear just now.

Cao Bin is a heavenly general, which shocked her into a heavenly man, and now in her heart, Cao Bin is the most secure support.

Pan Renmei was right about one thing, with Cao Bin around, at least her life would not be in danger.

Seeing Concubine Pan begging tearfully, the emperor also nodded thoughtfully:

"Kou Qing, Zhong Jing Hou is brave and loyal. Without him guarding me, I can't sleep peacefully."

"Do you think it is possible to send others back to Beijing?"

Kou Zhun shook his head when he heard the words, persuading him:

"Your Majesty, the most important thing at the moment is the safety of the capital. Only loyal and courageous people like Zhong Jinghou can restrain rebellious officials and thieves..."

Concubine Pan quickly shook her head and said:

"No, Zhong Jinghou must be by my side and His Majesty, I don't worry about the others."

The emperor also nodded and said:

"Kou Qing step back first, I will think about it again."

Seeing that the emperor refused to let Cao Bin leave, Kou Zhun was also very helpless.

It's just that there is turmoil in Beijing, and if it lasts for too long, I don't know how bad it will be.

He had no choice but to nod his head and said, "In that case, let's talk about it after Hun Tianhou catches up."

In his mind, Cao Bin was actually the most suitable candidate.

This person is easy to commit ruthless attacks when he is pushed into a hurry. Jingzhong needs such a person. On the contrary, Mu Guiying will have a lot of scruples.

Inside a luxurious palace in the capital.

Yan Wang Zhao Qi just returned from court, full of anger.

Seeing this, the counselor hurriedly asked, "Are the courtiers unwilling to accept the prince's administration?"

Zhao Qi said bitterly:

"That old man Wang Yanling insists on waiting for news from the front line."

"The people of Liao are strong. Wouldn't it be ridiculous to hope that Song Dynasty would win?"

"Besides, the official family is almost dead, so why wait!"

King Yan is the emperor's nephew, who was adopted into the palace when he was young, intending to adopt him to the emperor.

It's just that after Empress Zhang became pregnant, he was sent out of the palace. Later, Empress Zhang had a miscarriage and did not take him back.

This time the news came out that the emperor was seriously injured and dying, and the Queen Mother proposed that King Duan be in charge, and King Yan became anxious immediately.

He first secretly contacted the [-] Liao Army who went around to Gyeonggi, designed to seriously injure Li Zhaoming, the commander of the Dianqian, and then directly led troops into Beijing to control Kaifeng.

But he did not dare to arrest the ministers and force them to agree to rule by himself.

Participating in the court meeting this time had originally won the support of many ministers, thinking that it would go smoothly.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yanling, the leader, insisted on emphasizing that he had to wait for news from the front line. Cai Jing also had an ambiguous attitude and said nothing.

The counselor advised:

"My lord, now that things have come to an end, don't ask to be in charge anymore, your lord must directly ascend to the throne!"

"As long as you control the imperial city, the queen mother and all the ministers dare not refuse."

Seeing that King Yan hesitated, the counselor continued to persuade:

"My lord, don't forget the attitude of the empress dowager and all the ministers after the news came out that the officials were seriously injured and dying."

"If you blindly negotiate with good words, I'm afraid the throne will not be the prince's turn."

"No matter what method is used, as long as the position is established, the world can only accept it."

When King Yan heard this, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he muttered:

"Father died and son succeeded, and this king was raised in the palace since he was a child. Logically, this king should succeed."

"That King Duan only knows how to paint with stones, what qualifications does he have to surpass this King?"

Then, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Okay, I'll listen to you, we will use troops immediately, I want to see if they agree or not."

At this moment, a royal guard reported in a panic:

"My lord, there is news from Hebei. The official family is returning to Beijing."

Zhao Qi was startled first, and asked in a panic:

"Aren't the officials still confronting the Liao people, and they are seriously injured?"

Adviser said:

"My lord, don't panic. It should be that the officials have received news from the capital."

"In order to get rid of the entanglement of the Liao army, he returned in a hurry. He must be a defeated general."

"My lord immediately notified the Liao people of Gyeonggi and asked them to intercept and kill Sheng Jia."

Zhao Qi slapped his thigh, nodded fiercely and said:

"Yes, I don't believe that those remnant soldiers of theirs can defeat the Liao people."

"When the uncle of the emperor dies, this king will be able to ascend to the throne in a legitimate way."

Saying so, his eyes showed a light of incomparable desire.

A few days later, there was another court meeting.

Bao Zheng did not go home, but directly transferred to the prime minister's mansion.

After entering the door, Prime Minister Wang Yanling couldn't help asking when he saw that his face was full of anger.

"Xi Ren, what are you doing?"

Bao Zheng cupped his hands in a cold face and said:

"Prince Wang, Bao doesn't understand, why did you let that King Yan mess around?"

It turns out that at today's court meeting, Wang Yanling actually agreed to Yan Wang's ruling.

If King Yan didn't bring troops into Beijing, Bao Zheng would not be so disgusted, but King Yan's current behavior directly made him consider him a traitor.

Wang Yanling was his teacher, so he came to question him directly.

Wang Yanling did not argue, but took out a letter from the bookshelf behind him and handed it over:

"Xiren, this is a secret letter from the official, please read it."

Bao Zheng was startled, and hurriedly said: "Is there any news from the front line?"

As he said that, he was not polite, and directly took the letter and read it.

After reading the letter, he was greatly surprised and said:

"My Great Song Dynasty has already won a complete victory? Your Majesty is not injured? Good!"

Then he complained:

"Why didn't the Prime Minister announce the victory?"

"If there is such a good news, how dare King Yan make trouble? The capital will not be unstable!"

Although the emperor did not send Cao Bin back to the capital to quell the chaos, he did nothing.

At least give trustworthy courtiers a little confidence, lest they be overwhelmed.

Therefore, the letter did not explain the emperor's injury.

Wang Yanling shook his head and said:
