This is the main hall. The palace is too small, so only one hall can be used for multiple purposes. Due to the official announcement, the plaque was changed and it should be used as "Daqing Hall, Mingtang Hall, Zichen Hall".
Is it really that big?
I don’t know. Of all the imperial attires, only Zhao Kui has ever seen the palace of the Forbidden City.
Except for him, no one here has seen the Wende Palace in Kaifeng.
Zhao Kui is old and has succeeded Wu Qian as the coastal envoy. He is currently in Qingyuan Mansion.
His ups and downs seem to reflect today's mood.
When the emperor was working hard and was determined to recover, Zhao Kui sent his troops into Luo;
When the emperor was decadent and indulged in pleasure, Zhao Kui lived in leisure and luxury;
When the emperor was afraid and wanted to retreat, Zhao Kui stayed at the palace...
Zhao Yun sat down on the throne surrounded by others. For some reason, he suddenly thought of Zhao Kui.
I don’t know what happened tonight. If the Mongols invade Lin’an, I will have to consider leaving Lin’an.
Of course, things haven't reached this point yet.
Zhao Yun tried to calm down.
Things happened so fast, he also ordered Dong Songchen to modify the memorial, and changed Wen Yunsun's memorial to accuse Li Xia of colluding with Mongolia, and wait for the important ministers to arrive before publicly dealing with it... Suddenly, the earth collapsed and the mountains were destroyed.
Chaos, too much chaos.
The crisis was a little relieved. After he sat down, he finally had the thought to turn around and take a look. He saw that Zhao Yu was still there, paralyzed with fear.
This stupid son is not lost.
"Go...go and fetch mother and Jin'er." Zhao Yun ordered, "By the way, the queen is also here...Dong Songchen, go in person."
Dong Songchen knelt down in panic and accepted the order.
Only at this moment can we understand Zhao Yun's heart.
The biological mother and daughter are close relatives, and the wife is respectable.
As for other favors and favors, they are all unreliable.
The change of beauties in the harem is not much different, it is more fresh; and he, Dong Songchen, no matter how much he wins the emperor's heart, is still a slave. The more favored he is, the more he has to risk his life to protect what the emperor really cares about at this time.
.
"The officials can rest assured, I will go right now..."
Zhao Yun stroked his forehead and began to wonder where such a big movement came from.
who is it?
Li Xia? Do you have this ability? You have already led people out of Lin'an City...
Zhao Yun stroked his forehead and felt a severe headache again, nausea in his throat, and a blur in front of his eyes.
He is too tired.
I started having dizziness a few years ago, and the symptoms have gotten worse since a year ago.
There is something blocking my mind.
The court officials didn't know and would only scold him for his neglect of government in his later years.
But Zhao Yun actually knew very well that this was a disease left by the royal bloodline of the Song Dynasty.
Zhenzong, Renzong, Yingzong, Shenzong, four consecutive generations of emperors all suffered from wind disease. Zhezong coughed up blood as a young boy and died young, and Gaozong did not escape it in his later years. These are all descendants of Taizong.
In the past, Zhao Yun thought that he was a descendant of Taizu and could escape.
But in retrospect, Zhao Congtun, the grandson of Taizu, had a mad disease and was tortured to the point of being imprisoned and committed suicide.
Guangzong also suffered from wind disease, became ill due to fear, and finally became a mad emperor.
Ning Zong didn't dare to drink, he was afraid of pain, and he was slow to speak. Even when he saw envoys from the Kingdom of Jin, he asked eunuchs to answer for him... His dullness was the same as that of You'er.
Zhao Yun turned his head and looked at Zhao Yu again, mocking himself bitterly in his heart, this was really his own nephew.
He knew from the beginning that it had nothing to do with the abortion pill, but he couldn't say.
It has been a common problem throughout the ages that it is difficult to feed children after birth. It is very good that your children can grow up strong, very good.
Headache.
The pain became more and more severe, as if someone had tightly grasped my brain and my blood vessels were blocked.
Because of the thunder, I became more and more panicked, and it was difficult to calm down and think...
After a while, Zhao Yun firmly grasped the armrest of the throne, tried to come back to his senses, and thought about what happened tonight.
who?
The incident happened suddenly and needs to be investigated.
"The Commander-in-Chief..."
"boom!"
There was a loud noise, and the tiles fell from the top, crashing onto the main hall...
"boom!"
"boom!"
"..."
"Escort!"
"Guard Your Majesty out of the palace!"
Pang Xie finally rushed into the palace and directed his men to protect the frightened emperor.
"Let's go!"
"Your Highness! Your Highness! Lift Your Highness up..."
"Let's go!"
"boom!"
A section of wooden beam finally fell down, with a loud "Peng" sound, hitting several guardsmen, and screams were heard.
Cheng Yuanfeng and other important ministers wanted to escape, but when they saw the imperial guards approaching, they had no choice but to follow them and hurriedly fled away with the emperor in their arms.
The candlestick fell to the ground, lighting the carpet, and the room became even brighter.
Something fell down and smoke came out.
Several guards looked back and were confused for a while.
"Thunderbolt?"
Someone suddenly yelled.
"Thunderbolt!"
"boom!"
Unlike other thunder cannons that could only hurt people with iron pieces, this thunder cannon with a wooden handle exploded and blew two nearby guards away, leaving half of their bodies covered in blood.
Zhao Yun was surrounded by the crowd and felt something splashing on his neck. He stretched out his hand and touched it. Looking through the candlelight, he saw a trace of flesh and blood on his hand.
"boom……"
The explosions continued, and the inside and outside of Wende Hall were in chaos.
suddenly.
"Fan Wenhu rebelled!"
The shout came from the direction of Xuande Hall in the east.
Fan Wenhu is Lu Wende's son-in-law and a relative of Jia Sidao.
But tonight, Jia Sidao has not been seen.
Hearing this again at this time, one cannot help but be surprised...
"Fan Wenhu rebelled!"
Pang Xie was protecting Zhao Yun on the chariot. He looked around in a panic and couldn't see who was who.
"Protect Your Majesty! Shenwu Army, stop the guards and soldiers for me!"
"Shenwu obeys the order! Stop the guards and soldiers..."
Fan Wenhu was still commanding the escort, and was extremely stunned for a moment.
In the confusion, he looked around and quickly ran towards Tianzi Yijia.
"Your Majesty! I have not..."
"Don't let them come!" Pang Xie was shocked and shouted: "If you dare to step forward again, shoot them!"
The other commander-in-chief of the Sanya Palace present was Jiao Zhi. He looked around, not knowing what to do for a while.
He led the right leading guard.
If you look at the official names of these people, they are all in charge of each other's military affairs at the same time, so as to check each other. No one can fully mobilize the troops under his command.
This eliminates the possibility of rebellion to the greatest extent.
At this time, it made them even more confused.
The military system of the Song Dynasty emphasized the separation of powers and checks and balances. The Privy Council, the Three Yamen, and the Military Department held military power.
The Privy Council has the power to mobilize troops, but it does not have the power to command them; the Sanyamen have the power to command troops, but they do not have the power to mobilize troops; the Ministry of War has declined.
This is an extremely complex and sophisticated system. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there has never been a warlord who could break away from the imperial court and become an independent entity.
The Yue Family Army and the Lu Family Army are at their limit, but that's just talk. Basically, they are still the emperor's soldiers.
The emperor is the one who truly controls the military power of the world.
But tonight there was a sudden change, and the emperor didn't know how to direct it at all, or he couldn't spare the time to direct it at all.
Then we can only rely on all the civil servants and military generals who are trapped in party strife to use their own magical powers.
For example, Jia Sidao is the envoy of the Privy Council and can nominally mobilize all troops. However, without the consent of the emperor, the three yamen will not listen to him. This is the right to mobilize troops.
The three yamen have the power to command troops, but the various palace commanders restrain each other. Without coordination orders, there is no name for what they do.
As for Ye Mengding?
It has neither the right to mobilize troops nor the right to command them.
He has a future.
Although he is nearly sixty years old, Ye Mengding is the prince's mentor and prime minister.
In the future, he will be a prime minister and an envoy to the Privy Council, able to mobilize the troops of the world.
Whether he can borrow troops tonight depends on whether there is a guard general who is commanding the troops who is willing to take care of Ye Mengding's "future".
Zhao Dingying, the commander of Shenwu Right Army, was attracted by Ye Mengding early on.
But it was not for mutiny, it was just for standing in line, which was equivalent to waving the flag and shouting for Zhao Fu.
In essence, Zhao Dingying was still the emperor's man.
However, tonight he could not get the emperor's edict, Ye Mengding had arrived.
The Shenwu Right Army is stationed near the Imperial Ancestral Temple, because its station is at Luotuoling behind the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
There are many camps nearby such as the Jinba Camp, Huji Camp, Xiongba Camp, etc. Zhao Ding should be able to mobilize them.
…
"Mr. Ye is saying that Prime Minister Jia wants to depose His Highness?"
After hearing what Ye Mengding said, Zhao Dingying didn't want to believe it.
But when he turned around and looked to the north of the palace, thinking of the thunder, he was at a loss for a moment.
"I will explain that song to the palace commander again." Ye Mengding sighed, "Jia Yi announced the security policy of the house; Jia Fu, the general and prime minister of Yuntai. Jia Sidao was a descendant of the Jia family, and he called himself the Duke of Zhou.
…”
Zhao Dingying asked in response: "But is this really a rumor spread by Jia Sidao?"
"Otherwise? Who does Zhao Dianshuai think spread the rumor?" Ye Mengding asked slowly, twirling his long beard.
"this……"
Ye Mengding's old eyes showed a hint of helplessness, and he murmured to himself, "Now that the matter is over, is it still important?"
Now that things have come to this, if it wasn't Jia Sidao who spread the rumor, who else could it be?
Only he, Ye Mengding.
There is no need to prove your own innocence, and then ask others to investigate? Who? Li Xia, the envoy of Sichuan Zhizhi?
Lin'an is the center of power!
He, Ye Mengding, is the one who stands in the position of power!
The fire has been burning here, who has the patience to investigate? After investigating clearly, and then not fighting for power, should Ye Mengding be let go?
"Mr. Ye, that's not what I meant..."
"I don't care what the Commander-in-Chief means, I just want to tell him that this is not an investigation, this is a fight, a grab. The one who gets the upper hand will live. If you are one step too late, nothing will be lost."
Zhao Dingying was stunned for a moment and listened to the shouts coming from the palace city.
The more than one hundred years of party struggle in the Song Dynasty was like a huge force, pushing hard on his back...
Zhao Dingying suddenly drew his sword in his hand.
"Damn it, you won't be guarding the Ancestral Temple anymore... Pass my order and enter the palace to serve the king!"
There was a huge chaos near Wende Hall.
"Don't come over!" Pang Xie yelled.
"It's not me!" Fan Wenhu shouted.
Suddenly, dozens of people came running from the direction of Xuande Hall.
At the same time as the footsteps came, a roar also sounded.
"Zhao Yurui, Zhao Yu secretly murdered His Majesty's parents and children with the intention of treason! Follow the palace commander Qing Jun to his side!"
"Zhao Yu intends to plot rebellion and follows the palace commander Qing Jun to his side!"
"Fan Wenhu!" Pang Xie was furious and shouted: "Do it!"
All of this happened in the blink of an eye, everyone was roaring, and no one listened to the other person's explanation.
Pang Xie turned around and ran away, protecting Zhao Yunyi while turning around and looking around.
On one side is the place where the sky thunder fell; on the other side there are too many soldiers and I don’t know who they are; on the other side there is a small group of people coming to kill...
"Let's go! Go to Fengxian Terrace."
The emperor's instrument is getting further and further away from the harem...
"It's not me! Who is harming me?!"
Fan Wenhu was also yelling.
He pointed at the small group of men who came from the east and shouted: "Kill them!"
Suddenly, a thunderbolt cannon fell not far in front of him.
"Protect the Commander-in-Chief!"
"boom!"
Fan Wenhu was thrown to the ground, and the more than a thousand people here could no longer suppress him...
I got up again and looked out from the crowd of people running around. I saw that the small group of people just now was gone. However, there were still people shouting around.
"Zhao Yu conspired to rebel, and he followed Prime Minister Jia and the palace commander Qing Jun to his side!"
"not me……"
"Protect him! Jia Sidao wants to commit rebellion, please protect him quickly!"
In the distance, another shout came, joining the shouts here.
The explosions that sounded from time to time were still adding to the chaos, making it impossible for both parties to calm down and deal with it.
"Kill Fan Wenhu! Protect him!"
"Kill Zhao Yu! Qingjun side!"
"boom!"
Finally, the halberd was swung out, blood splashed down, and both sides had started fighting...
