As soon as Xiao Yu got out of the carriage, he saw someone coming out of a carriage on the other side of the gate. His old acquaintance, old friend, and his in-law Luo Song.

Luo Song's face was filled with anger and helplessness.

Xiao Yu greeted him.

"This is His Royal Highness, the wise and holy warrior King Jing, whom you have always tried your best to support!" Luo Song said sarcastically to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu smiled helplessly.

Yes, he has always supported His Highness King Jing. Because he believed that only King Jing could lead the Song Dynasty to defeat the Liao Kingdom and complete the great cause of unifying the world.

He, Xiao Yu, has always been considered by the outside world to be a hard-core confidant of King Jing. Luo Song was also included in King Jing's family because of his relationship with the Xiao family.

In fact, Luo Song did not want to get involved in any dispute over the reserve position.

It could be the King of Jing, the King of Chu, or even any other king.

It's just that King Jing's performance in the past gave him a slight inclination. After all, Luo Song also aspires to be the first assistant, and he also wants to complete the great cause of unifying the world.

A snake cannot survive without a head. It seems that King Jing is indeed more outstanding than King Chu.

But this time, King Jing launched a mutiny, which completely destroyed the little favor he had in Luo Song's heart.

If Luo Song used to think that anyone could do it.

Then his current attitude is that anyone can do it except King Jing.

"Tell me the truth, did you participate?" Luo Song grabbed Xiao Yu's sleeve and shouted loudly: "If you also participated, our decades of friendship would be over, and the marriage of our two children would be over."

It’s over.”

Xiao Yu was furious and flicked his sleeves. He was so strong that he almost knocked Luo Song off his feet, "Well, Luo Fengchen, don't say that I didn't know anything about this matter. Even if I knew it, I participated in it, and I got involved with the two."

What does a child have to do with it? It just so happens that Mr. Xiao regrets this marriage, so why not just let it go?"

Luo Song was overjoyed when he heard that Xiao Yu didn't know.

"It's better not to participate, it's better not to participate. I said the wrong thing, what does it have to do with the two dolls!"

Xiao Yu snorted and walked inside. Luo Song quickly followed.

The two people stepped through the gate, and as soon as they took a look, they saw the courtyard full of officials, all of whom looked frightened. It seems that these people were all arrested by people sent by King Jing.

Xiao Yu and Luo Song strode forward. They were still far away from the lobby when they heard Li Guang's voice.

Li Guang was cursing loudly.

He was also captured by people sent by King Jing.

The two of them crossed the threshold and saw the sullen but helpless Jing King Zhao Zhe at a glance.

"Your Highness, you made a mistake with this step!" Luo Song, who stepped through the door, looked at King Jing and said angrily: "Retreat from the cliff and turn back to the shore."

King Jing shook his head and said: "Mr. Luo, now that I have taken this step, there is a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire ahead of me. I can only move forward with all my strength. There is no possibility of taking a step back."

"Your Highness, how many people in the civil and military dynasty do you think will support you? Look here, look at the officials you captured outside the courtyard, how many of them will support you?" Luo Song said: "The Song Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety.

, Your Highness, you are disobedient and unfilial, and launched a mutiny. If you do the following, you have violated a taboo."

"The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit." King Jing took a deep breath: "When Taizu Chen Qiao wore the yellow robe, he probably didn't think much about whether anyone would support me, but he waited until I sat in the Daqing Hall to talk about it.

Bar!"

Luo Song sighed, shook his head, walked straight to Li Guang, and sat down next to Li Guang.

"Your Highness, don't ask me to do anything for you. Or, if you kill me and use my head to intimidate the people outside, it might be of some use." Luo Song crossed his arms and closed his eyes. .

King Jing turned his eyes to Xiao Yu: "Xiao Xiang, don't you support me too?"

Xiao Yu shook his head firmly: "Your Highness, we haven't made a big mistake yet. You order the troops to withdraw now. I will accompany you into the palace. The same goes for Xianggong Luo and Xianggong Li. The three of us have the brains to guarantee that the officials will not pursue you." ?”

King Jing laughed loudly: "Xiao Xiang, what happens next? Then I am sent to a certain temple to chant and copy scriptures, suffer for years, and finally die without any illness one night?"

"Your Highness, why is this so?"

"How could it not be so!" King Jing said coldly: "Moreover, if Gu Ruo did this, how could he be worthy of these frontier soldiers who followed me risklessly. I know what are you thinking, Mr. Xiao? Put all the blame on them. Go to these people and say that I was held hostage by them, right? And then use the blood of the border soldiers to cover up this incident, right?"

Xiao Yu remained silent.

"They have been betrayed once, do you want them to be betrayed again?" King Jing looked at Xiao Yu coldly and said, "I can't do such a thing."

"Your Highness, you can't succeed. In the end, they will still die. But if this continues, even you will be implicated and unable to escape." Xiao Yu said sternly: "Do you think you acted suddenly and no one was prepared? ? Where is Chief Xia? Where is Privy Chen? Where are they? You have arrested so many officials. I looked and saw that there are not many military attaches. Where are the four commanders of the Fourth Army? "

King Jing took a deep breath: "Three of you, if it is true as Xiao Xiang said, then I would like to ask, why don't you three know about it?"

Luo Song and Li Guang's expressions changed slightly.

"I invited the three of you here because I was really worried that you might get hurt in this chaotic situation. In fact, I also sent someone to invite Chief Xia and Privy Councilor Chen, but these two have gone to the palace." King Jing was very relaxed: "Well, it needs to be solved anyway, and it is a good thing to solve it together. In the end, I still have to use my fists to speak. You three, if I am lucky enough to break the inner palace and stabilize the overall situation. , I also ask the three of you to help me stabilize the court, otherwise, Bianliang will really shed a river of blood."

"You threaten us?" Luo Song said angrily.

"Luo Xiang can think so!" King Jing said coldly: "I have made great contributions to the country, but I am ignored. , I have to step on it a few more times, how can a dignified man named Zhao be subjected to this humiliation? If I win, I will govern the world according to my will. You three, will I be a foolish king? If I lose, then that’s okay. Needless to say, there is only one death left. Three of you, if you still resist me once I succeed, then don’t blame me for going on a killing spree and using my blood to scare those pedantic people."

Li Guang was a censor, but he was the least afraid of intimidation. "Your Highness, there are hundreds of military states in the world, how many local officials will support you?"

"At least there are Shaanxi and Hebei!" King Jing leaned over and said in Xiao Yu's ear: "Xiao Xiang, I sent someone to kill Zhang Chao. The murder weapon was provided to me by Xiao Changqing. Moreover, the weapon he gave me was Plant a sharp weapon and destroy the city with the palm of your hand."

Xiao Yu's expression suddenly changed.

King Jing smiled and went out.

"Three gentlemen, please wait here for my good news!" King Jing went out and walked away.

The three people in the room looked at each other in confusion.

"Xiao Xiang, what did King Jing say to you in the end?" Li Guang suddenly asked coldly.

Xiao Yu shook his head, walked to the side with a heavy heart, and sat down.

"King Jing went to attack the inner palace! It seems that the official family is not in the Long Live Palace!" Luo Song said.

"If they are in the Long Live Palace, then the official family will be really in danger. There is no danger to defend there!" Xiao Yu said: "Since winter, the official family has been staying in the Long Live Palace, but now, it is silent.

Then he returned to the inner palace, and as soon as the carriage arrived, all the servants stayed in the Long Live Palace, which in itself explains the problem."

"The officials have known for a long time!" Luo Song said: "There is so much suspicion between father and son, no wonder it has reached this point."

"It is unbecoming of an official. He knew King Jing was rebellious, but did not stop it in advance. He just sat back and watched this human tragedy happen. If this happens, I will definitely take part in it!" Li Guang said angrily.

On the inner palace wall, Zhang Cheng looked nervously at the lights slowly gathering in the distance.

The inner palace was originally built at the highest point in Bianliang, and with the height of the city wall, he could clearly see the situation on all sides. The rebels were gathering here.

The number is definitely not just the five or six thousand people mentioned by the first assistant.

I'm afraid there are tens of thousands of people.

Zhang Cheng swallowed with some difficulty. He never thought that he would use weapons in Bianliang City, in this sacred forbidden palace.

The five to six thousand people mentioned by the chief assistant are the core strength of the rebels.

Now Zhang Cheng already knows who these people are.

Border troops!

There are more than 2,500 Dingwu troops.

They are the elite frontier armies such as Xin'an Army, Anyu Army, and Guangxin Army.

And these armies are as famous as Xiao Ding's Guangrui Army.

On the day when Xiao Changqing returned to Bianliang, Zhang Cheng heard about the army from Xiao Changqing's mouth.

But now, he actually has to fight these people face to face.

Looking back, all the generals and commanders under his command also looked pale. Apparently, they had not yet woken up from the shock of knowing the truth.

King Jing actually rebelled.

Zhang Cheng couldn't believe it, he had always regarded King Jing as his idol.

But the facts are already in front of us.

"How are the supplies for the city defense prepared?" Zhang Cheng held up his knife and tried his best to look more relaxed.

"All kinds of equipment and supplies are ready!" The generals clasped their fists in unison, their voices were a bit surprising. This was actually a sign of losing control.

"Everyone, I won't say any more. What I want to say is that this may be the biggest setback in your life, but it will also be the biggest opportunity in your life." Zhang Cheng said loudly: "First Assistant

, the Privy Council is behind you, and the officials are watching you in the Daqing Hall now. After this level, everyone here, I dare not say that they will become prime ministers, but they will become a wife and a daughter-in-law after a rapid rise, that is

Absolutely indispensable.”

Everyone's expressions were slowly infected by Zhang Cheng.

Yes, if you can survive this test, it will be a great contribution to your rescue. Relying on this contribution for a lifetime is enough, and it can also benefit your descendants.

This is a greater achievement than killing many Liao people!

You know, this is under the eyes of the officials.

"I think everyone knows who our opponent is. Their core strength is the frontier army. When it comes to the frontier army, everyone always thinks that they are very powerful. But aren't we powerful? We are in Hebei, meeting with the Liao people

We fought, did we lose?"
