Chapter 161: The treacherous king conspired to usurp the throne, and the young emperor surrendered the country (5)

Five days later, the Chui Gong Hall was completed.

Zhao Guangyi, who was sitting on the dragon chair, looked as majestic and calm as before. However, the ministers in the palace were standing sparsely, and none of the famous counselors and military generals showed up today. The hall seemed emptyer than before, and the atmosphere was also empty.

It's much more deserted than before.

Zhao Guangyi looked down at the ministers in the palace, his eyes scanning everyone's face one by one. When he saw that there was no prestigious official in the palace, he breathed a sigh of relief and ordered: "Let envoy Qu Yue come in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the head official of the palace repeated it loudly in a high-pitched voice: "The official family has a decree, and the envoy of Qu Yue has been sent to pay an audience!" Upon hearing this, the young eunuchs in the palace gates also hurriedly repeated it.

The imperial edict, like a wave of waves, spread out from the Chui Gong Hall to outside the palace.

Soon, Wang Shaozuo and Jiang Juwang followed the young eunuchs who led them into the hall, and came to Zhao Guangyi in the middle of the hall. Zhao Guangyi glanced at the two men, nodded slightly and said: "Are the two people below the steps the envoys sent by Qu Yue?

"

Wang Shaozuo quickly bowed deeply and said: "Wang Shaozuo, the envoy of Quyue, has met the official family of the Song Dynasty! May the official family live forever, and may the Song Dynasty and Quyue live in peace forever!"

Jiang Juwang also followed Wang Shaozuo and saluted Zhao Guangyi, but from the corner of his eye he kept looking at the ministers who were standing in the martial arts class, and murmured slightly, "Is this Pan Mei? No, it doesn't seem to be Cao Bin. Huh?"

Why are these people different from the portraits His Majesty showed me?"

Wang Shaozuo glared at Jiang Juwang, then stretched out his hand to pull his arm. Only then did he react and immediately shut his mouth. Although the two people's movements were very subtle, they did not escape Zhao Guangyi's eyes at all.

But he pretended not to notice and only said: "You two, I recently received a report from the Privy Council, saying that leader Ding died unfortunately, his son Ding Xuan ascended the throne as emperor, and General Li Huan of the Tenth Path was named deputy king.

Is assisting the young emperor in handling government affairs serious?"

Wang Shaozuo nodded and said: "The official's information is indeed well-informed. The envoy came here just to apply for the title. I have a letter of credence here, and I hope the official will take a look at it." He took out the letter of credence from his sleeve and said it again.

Bow down and raise your hands above your head.

Zhao Guangyi glanced at the young eunuch beside him. The young eunuch immediately understood and handed over the credential in Wang Shaozuo's hand. Zhao Guangyi took the credential, read it roughly, and then said: "You two, Qu Yue has always been my great Song Dynasty

In our country, now that the late emperor has passed away and the new emperor has ascended the throne, I have no reason not to ennoble him. I will personally write an imperial edict and ennoble Ding Xuan as the Lord of Quyue and Li Huan as his deputy."

Seeing that there was no joy in their expressions, he thought to himself, "Could it be that Li Huan not only took control of Qu Yue's government, but also usurped the throne and became emperor? Li Huan is extremely ambitious and will never be willing to surrender to our great power for a long time.

Song, if this is really the case, I must try to control one or two of them."

After Zhao Guangyi thought about it, he continued: "Li Huan has great ambitions and is unwilling to be inferior to others. If he thinks that Ding Xuan is young and incompetent, he can send Ding Xuan's mother and son to Bianliang, and I will make him the Lord of Quyue."

That’s it.”

Wang Shaozuo said: "For the officials, this matter is so important that the envoy cannot make the decision. It is better to wait until the envoy returns to Quyue and reports to His Majesty before we make a decision."

Zhao Guangyi said: "Okay, if you two want to travel around Bianliang, I am very welcome. If you want to return to Quyue immediately, I will not stop you!"

Wang Shaozuo said gratefully: "Thank you for the official's kindness, but we two have missions and we dare not delay. We will return to Quyue early tomorrow morning so that we can report this matter to His Majesty as soon as possible."

Zhao Guangyi waved his hand and said: "In that case, you can go to the hotel to rest today. I will send someone to do it for you tomorrow." After hearing this, Wang Shaozuo bowed deeply, and then pulled him into the palace. His eyes were never idle for a moment.

Jiang Juwang slowly walked out of the hall.

More than ten days later, Li Huan went to bed in the palace.

Li Huan was holding a luxurious gold wine cup and was half lying on the scarlet carpet beside the dragon couch. There were several empty wine jars beside him. While he drank the wine, he looked at the distant sky again and again.

He seemed a little confused, but sometimes he showed a proud light.

Over the years, he has developed a habit of drinking before every war. One drink will require him to be drunk for three days and three nights. Li Huan's behavior is seen by everyone as excessive drinking, debauchery, and even debauchery. Only Li Huan

Huan himself understood how many problems he could think about and how many strategies he could think of to defeat the enemy in these three days. He also understood that only in this way could he truly maximize his abilities.

"When, when, when..."

Suddenly there was a hurried knock on the door outside the dormitory. This sound disturbed Li Huan's drunkenness and interrupted his thoughts. Li Huan's eyebrows subconsciously frowned, his blurred eyes suddenly became clear, and a killing intent suddenly surged in his eyes.

Li Huan faced the door and shouted angrily: "I told you that no one should disturb me for these three days. Are you turning a deaf ear to my will?"

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, General Wang and General Jiang are back, and are now asking for an audience outside the palace." A young eunuch's trembling voice came from outside the door. It seemed that the most ferocious beast in the world was locked in this palace, and even the most ferocious beast in the world was locked inside.

Thousands of times more terrifying than wild beasts.

Li Huan heard the murderous intent in his eyes and said coldly: "Let them come in."

The young eunuch responded with a trembling voice: "Yes..."

Following the young eunuch's words, Wang Shaozuo and Jiang Juwang quickly walked into the dormitory. Li Huan glanced at the two of them and asked, "What was the result of your trip?"

Wang Shaozuo was the first to say: "Your Majesty, Zhao Guangyi agreed to canonize Ding Xuan as the Lord of Quyue and let you be his deputy. But he also said that Your Majesty also has great plans and strategies. If he thinks that Ding Xuan is young and incompetent, he will send Ding Xuan's mother and son to

Bianliang, he changed your title to the Lord of Quyue."

Li Huan laughed a few times when he heard this, "Hahaha, I have been the emperor of Quyue for a long time, and I don't want to recognize Song as my master of Quyue, but Zhao Guangyi still tries to get along with me. It's really ridiculous!"

Jiang Juwang couldn't laugh at this time, "Your Majesty, although the general is clumsy in speech, his eyes are very good. While General Wang was speaking, the general looked at the civil and military affairs of the Song Dynasty. Not only Cao Bin, but also Pan Mei

Not in the court, and not even Gao Huaide, Shi Shouxin, Han Chongyun and the like."

Wang Shaozuo also said nervously: "Yes, the general is also paying attention secretly, and indeed he did not see these famous generals. Do you think they are all among the 150,000 invading army?"

However, Li Huan did not panic. Instead, he laughed and drank the wine. Then his eyes burst with fierce fighting spirit, "You two will immediately lead 30,000 troops to Lang Son to garrison, no matter how the Song army scolds the formation."

, you must hold fast. In ten days, I will lead 100,000 troops to support you. When I arrive, I will cause the Song army to bleed for thousands of miles, lay down millions of corpses, and swear not to return to the court until I kill all the enemies!"
