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

At this time, Cao Bin and Mu Guiying had just arrived outside Bianjing.

Seeing that the city gate was closed, Mu Guiying immediately rode forward and shouted:

"Huntianhou Mu Guiying and Zhongjinghou Cao Bin bring the imperial decree to quell the rebellion, open the city gate quickly."

Mu Guiying was even more anxious than Cao Bin. All the capable servants of the Yang family were going out to fight, and the rest of them didn't have much fighting strength at all.

If Princess Cheshire and others were held hostage by the rebels, they would have little room to resist.

A guard came down from the city, watched for a while, and shouted:

"The Shangguan strictly ordered that we must not open the door unless Shengjia came in person."

Mu Guiying said angrily:

"Bold, I have the sacred decree at hand, you dare to disobey?"

The guard at the city gate hastily shouted:

"Don't blame the weather, the general will not be able to distinguish the authenticity of the imperial decree, and dare not take risks."

"Please wait for half a day, my general will soon put down the rebellion and open the city gate."

Things in the world are often broken because there is me in you, and you in me, there is no distinction between the enemy and the enemy, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.

Cao Bin was not sure for a while whether the defenders at the top of the city were the imperial court or the rebels.

If it is a rebel, it is also very likely to pretend to be the court to fool themselves.

If it is Li Zhaoming, there may be careful consideration, but most of it is for credit.

Although it was Wang Yanling's responsibility for the rebels to enter the city, Li Zhaoming was also guilty of dereliction of duty.

Only by suppressing the rebellion alone and personally welcoming the holy driver into the city can he atone for his sins.

However, Cao Bin was prepared long ago and put his heart into his own hands. If it was him, he would not want others to take a share of the action if he was already confident of suppressing the rebellion alone.

So he directly pushed Yan Wang and Zhang Wen out, and shouted at the top of the city:

"Yan Wang Zhao Qi and Li Zhaoming's nephews are all in my hands!"

"I don't care which side you are, open the city gate quickly, otherwise, I will kill both of you."

Zhang Wen was already in a daze, his mind was full of black lines, he thought Cao Bin was leading him to meritorious deeds, but he didn't expect that he was actually the meat ticket for threatening his uncle.

The corner of Mu Guiying's mouth twitched, but she didn't say anything. This is an excellent method.

No matter who is in the city, they all have weaknesses to pinch.

Seeing Cao Bin raise the iron whip, Zhang Wen and Zhao Qi were almost scared to pee, the guard at the top of the city was speechless:

"You can't wait for Zhongjing, the last general will just open the door."

As soon as the city gate opened, Cao Bin rushed in with his men.

The guard came forward and was about to say something when Cao Bin ordered directly:

"Take him down and take over the city gate."

The guard was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly shouted:

"Master Hou, the final general will act under the command of Zhongwuhou Li..."

Although Li Zhaoming is Cao Bin's immediate boss, the front office "all command".

However, the Pengri Cavalry Army who returned to Beijing this time fought with Cao Bin for a long time, and they were born and died several times. They have long been accustomed to his orders, so why would they care about Li Zhaoming?

So when he heard Cao Bin's order, he put the north gate guard on the ground and tied him up without saying a word.

Seeing Cao Bin and others rumbling through the door without caring about him at all, the guard couldn't help but feel depressed.

He was not afraid of the court's questioning, but he offended the two generals and failed to achieve his goal, so he felt that the loss was not worth it.

Originally thought that Cao Bin and others didn't know the details of Beijing, so they could be fooled and delayed for a while.

Unexpectedly, this guy didn't play cards according to the routine at all, and he made himself unfavorable inside and out, making him feel extremely uncomfortable...

At this time, Mu Guiying had already chased after Cao Bin, and asked solemnly:

"Cao Bin, where should we save first?"

Seeing her eager face, Cao Bin didn't make any trouble, and said directly:

"I'd rather divide the troops into two groups. Uncle Huntian will go to save the east city, and Cao will come to save the west city..."

Mu Guiying said happily upon hearing the words:

"That's great, let's do it!"

As she spoke, she hurriedly urged the horses, and dispatched a group of cavalry to rush towards Tianbo Mansion.

Tianbo Mansion is located in the southeast corner of the old city of Bianjing, while Zhongjinghou Mansion is to the west of the imperial city.

The two divided their troops into east and west, and happened to go to their own mansions.

The rebel army has been scattered throughout Bianjing, and there are very few of them organized. Even if there is a large force, it is difficult to be an opponent of the Pingri Cavalry.

Therefore, they are not afraid of dividing troops.

His own mansion was also attacked, so Cao Bin didn't delay any rebels he encountered along the way, and killed them all on the street.

All of a sudden, the chaos army became much more honest.

Not long after, Cao Bin had led people to the street where Zhongjinghou's Mansion was located. Seeing that many rebels were throwing firewood at his house, he became anxious and said angrily:

"Made, if you dare to burn the mansion of Benhou, kill me...not one left!"

King Yan's counselor was personally instructing the soldiers to set fire, but when he saw Cao Bin rushing over with his troops, he was frightened and said in a panic:

"Cao... Cao Bin?"

Since Cao Bin led troops into Beijing, it means that King Yan had completely failed, and his plan had come to nothing.

It's just that he didn't expect that King Yan would lose so quickly.

It's too much to go to the toilet, and it's too stretched.

He deeply felt that he was entrusted with inhumanity.

Now that the matter was over, he no longer cared about the soldiers under his command, and immediately turned the horse's head, frantically waving the whip, and was about to run away.

The rebellion failed, and King Yan might be able to beg for mercy by virtue of his status as the emperor's direct relative, but he, a counselor, might not survive at all.

They will even be punished by Ling Chi...

Seeing this, Cao Bin shot his mount over with an arrow, and ordered:

"Don't let him die, catch him alive."

While speaking, Hu Sanniang had already rushed out, knocked off the sword in the counselor's hand, and captured him alive.

Seeing the rebels fleeing in all directions, Cao Bin ordered Wu Song and Lu Da to chase after him, then jumped off his horse and went straight to Hou's mansion.

"Husband..."

As soon as he entered the gate of the mansion, Uncle Fu, Pang Yanyan and others came out to greet her, and Du Shiniang threw herself into Cao Bin's arms.

Cao Bin was relieved to see that there was no shortage of family members. Thanks to him coming back in time, otherwise his beautiful wife and concubine would have been burned clean.

Thinking of this, Cao Bin couldn't help giving King Yan a big blow, cursing:

"Is he really not a thing!"

If you rebel, you rebel, why attack my mansion?

Although King Yan glared at him angrily, he didn't dare to resist. After all, he was a swordsman, and now he is Cao Bin's prisoner. If he was stabbed, it would be even worse.

Cao Bin appeased all the wives and concubines one by one, and ordered Uncle Fu to clean up the mess, and immediately took King Yan to other places to quell the chaos.

He led his troops back to Beijing because he had a mission for the court.

First of all, it is human nature to rescue your own mansion, but you must not forget the court mission.

So keep going.

However, with King Yan himself in hand, those rebellious soldiers under him could not cause any disturbances, and it only took half a day to completely calm down Bianjing.

Only then did Mu Guiying come to join him. What made her depressed was that the Tianbo Mansion had already been breached by the rebels and took away her family.

Fortunately, the purpose of the rebels was to blackmail the generals, and their families were not harmed.

When Cao Bin captured Yan Wang's counselors, he had already rescued them.

Two days later, after the appeasement of the court, Bianjing has basically returned to normal.

The most important thing is that the victory of the Song and Liao battles made most people ignore the harm caused by the civil strife in Bianjing.

Except for a few families who were harmed by the rebels, many common people and rich households set off fireworks and firecrackers to celebrate.

Of course, there is also an element of emotional release.

This year, the entire New Year's Eve has been spent in a depressive and tense atmosphere. Now that the pressure is gone, of course we have to let it go.

This is normal for Bianjing, which has not had wars for many years and has always been prosperous.

In the early morning of the third day, Shengjia finally arrived near the capital, and all civil and military officials went out of the city to greet him.

The people also got up early one after another, planning to join in the fun.

The Song Dynasty has always been proud of the joy of the emperor and the people, and there are few restrictions on the people, so martial law was not enforced just because the emperor returned to Beijing.

At this time, Cao Bin was also standing among the officials waiting for the holy driver, but he was a little bored, so he dozed off involuntarily.

Suddenly, if he felt something, he couldn't help but look up, and saw Li Zhaoming not far ahead, staring at him closely, with anger in his eyes.

Cao Bin immediately grinned and smiled at him.

Seeing this, Li Zhaoming couldn't help but "hum", turned his head away, and stopped looking at him.

Seeing this, Mu Guiying sighed and said:

"You offended Li Zhaoming so much this time, you should be more careful in the future, lest he trip you up."

Cao Bin said indifferently:

"Don't worry, the Secretary in front of the palace is His Majesty's personal army. Although Li Zhaoming is the envoy, he can't control me."

"If he dares to use insidious means, don't blame me for suing him in front of His Majesty."

When one is an official, there are many contradictions between the principal and deputy. Although Li Zhaoming is Cao Bin's immediate boss, he cannot order him at will.

If there were orders from the imperial court, they were mostly issued directly to him.

That's why Cao Bin dared to use Zhang Wen unscrupulously, at worst breaking his wrist.

Mu Guiying was speechless, this was the first time she had heard that someone had justified the complaint.

At this moment, Shengjia slowly appeared in the sight of everyone, with a burst of rituals and music, and a splendid guard of honor.

Everyone hurriedly bowed down, and after saluting, Pan Renmei urged her to go forward and said loudly:

"Your Majesty's personal expedition led to a great victory over the Liao people. Now he returns triumphantly, and the noble concubine is pregnant. This is a double happiness."

"Your Majesty has ordered that the world should be amnesty, and the whole world celebrate together!"

When Concubine Pan was pregnant, the emperor planned to hide it for fear of accidents.

But now that the situation is changing, he himself was seriously injured by the Liao people, and he may die at any time, so he can't take much care of it.

Previously it was the father who protected the son, now it is the son who protects the father.

Although Concubine Pan has not yet given birth, the announcement of this news can also stabilize the court situation to a large extent.

For this reason, he also promoted Concubine Pan's position and gave her the position of noble concubine.

This is also the meaning of amnesty.

The more unstable the world is, the higher the frequency of using amnesty.

However, serious crimes are not included in the pardon, especially the crime of conspiracy and rebellion of King Yan, which is the top ten evils and cannot be pardoned.

"Long live, long live..."

The common people didn't care whether the news announced by the emperor had anything to do with them.
