Zhao Kuangyin's face was livid, and he looked at Liu Guangyi, who was lying in front of him without any breathing, with slightly red eyes.
As soon as he entered the palace, he immediately learned that a group of thieves had kidnapped Queen Fu and Guo Zongxun.
Zhao Kuangyin's restless heart suddenly became cold, and he rushed to the scene angrily, only to see that the seventh child, Liu Guangyi, had been dead for a long time.
Zhang Dejun stood aside in embarrassment, cowering and at a loss.
He and Wang Zhengzhong returned to the imperial city first.
Wang Zhengzhong rushed to various gates of the palace and arranged for soldiers to blockade the imperial city.
Zhang Dejun went all the way to Wende Hall, hoping to return to Queen Fu and control her if necessary.
When they arrived at the Wende Hall, they learned that Queen Fu had left. Zhang Dejun instantly realized that something was wrong.
When he first heard that Guo Rong was going to kill Zhao Kuangyin, Zhang Dejun was extremely panicked.
He and Zhao Kuangyin had already boarded a boat, and if they wanted to capsize, everyone would have to capsize.
Something went wrong in the chaos, and I went straight to Wang Zhengzhong in a panic. Now that I thought about it carefully, I realized that I was so afraid of Guo Rong that I didn't even try to hide it at all.
With a glimmer of hope, he went to the back hall to find Queen Fu, and learned that Queen Fu took several princes to the Zichen Hall to put Kongming lanterns to pray for Guo Rong.
At this moment, Zhang Dejun knew something was wrong.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
Here Guo Rong just asked Queen Fu to kill Zhao Kuangyin, but then Queen Fu turned around and went to pray for Guo Rong?
There is obviously a problem.
Zhang Dejun hurriedly came to Zichen Hall, and what he saw was already a mess.
Wang Zhengzhong arrived one step ahead of him and had already led his troops out of the city to find the whereabouts of the abducted Empress Fu and Guo Zongxun.
Zhao Kuangyin and Fan Zhi also came later.
Listen to the whole story.
Fan Zhi's face turned pale and he whispered: "It must be Fu Yanqing. Apart from him, no one can do this, and a saint will not just follow others casually... It's over, it's over!"
Queen Fu and Guo Zongxun are the trump cards in their hands. Without them, the game will not be successful.
Guo Rong's prestige was too high. Even if he was alive, even if he only had one breath, Zhao Kuangyin and Fan Zhi would not dare to control him.
To control Queen Fu, Guo Zongxun is the only choice.
Guo Rong let him fall into a coma normally. He never woke up and had no other thoughts.
Then he threatened and controlled Queen Fu with the lives of Guo Rong and Guo Zongxun.
As long as they remove Luo Youdu, the only threat that can pose a threat, they can turn defeat into victory.
The loser has no power to influence public opinion.
But now the most critical killer move is gone, and all their plans fall through at this moment.
Fan Zhi was trembling, his eyes were confused, and he felt that tomorrow was his death anniversary.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he said: "Quick, don't worry about whether to arouse the enemy or not. We can't sit back and wait for death. First send people to Luo Zhai and Han Zhai to control Luo Youdu's family, control Han Tong, and his family."
stand up."
At this moment of life and death, Zhao Kuangyin didn't care so much and immediately arranged for his confidants to go to Luo Zhai and Han Zhai.
After waiting for less than half an hour, Luo Yanxuan, who went to Hanzhai, reported back empty-handed: "The Hanzhai has been empty."
Fan Zhi was dumbfounded and said: "How could this happen?"
Even Han Tong was on guard against this, let alone Luo Youdu's Luo residence?
Luo Yanxuan showed a little panic on his face at this time and said: "I passed by Tianshui Lane on the way. I didn't see many patrol soldiers from the Guards and Military Division on the street, which is a bit abnormal."
There is no curfew in Dazhou now.
Since the late Tang Dynasty, the curfew system has existed in name only.
Because it was too chaotic, the court's curfew policy could not be implemented smoothly at all, so it was simply open to the public.
It is precisely because of this that the prototype of the night market was formed during this period.
Small shops selling fried food, snacks, and gadgets are springing up like bamboo shoots after a rain...
The Great Zhou Dynasty was governed by two generations of Guo Wei and Guo Rong, and the politics became very stable. In order to maintain public order, a curfew was imposed for a period of time.
It turns out that public security has indeed improved, but tax revenue has dropped a lot.
It's a bit of a loss.
After study and discussion, the court compromised on the tax and canceled the curfew again.
Tianshui Lane is a well-known red light district, crowded and noisy, and is a key area patrolled by the Guards and Military Division.
Now that the patrols in Tianshui Lane are gone, it shows that someone is secretly gathering troops.
Besides Han Tong, who has this ability?
Zhao Kuangyin's chest was heaving up and down. He looked at his hands and felt like a chess piece. Wherever he went, others were able to take the first step. No matter which way he went, he was manipulated by others.
This feeling made him very manic and crazy.
Han Tong was already preparing to counterattack. Once Luo Youdu reacted and joined forces with Han Tong, the only thing waiting for him would be death.
He slapped his face with both hands, and a trace of madness flashed in Zhao Kuangyin's eyes, and he said: "Lao Liu, continue to blockade the imperial city. No one is allowed to enter or exit. If someone attacks, try your best to defend... Yanxuan, follow me."
Fan asked: "Where is the palace commander going?"
Zhao Kuangyin said: "Go kill Luo Youdu!"
Five simple words, full of domineering and determination.
Fuck the machinations!
Damn your foresight!
The fist is as big as the sky and the earth.
In this world, the winner is the king.
Fan Zhi said anxiously: "Didn't we plan to trap him and kill him?"
Zhao Kuangyin mocked: "Do you think you can succeed?"
Fan Zhi was stunned for a moment.
They discussed and discussed, everything was agreed upon, and the plan seemed to be flawless.
The result was a wake-up call. The two most critical people, Queen Fu and Guo Zongxun, were kidnapped alive in the palace.
I can't play at all.
All calculations become a joke.
Zhao Kuangyin said angrily: "Your brain is similar to mine. It is a pig's brain. It is controlled everywhere and is played like a monkey. If you can't play with others, don't be embarrassed. I don't want to play anymore. Luo Youdu colluded with Han Tong and planned a mutiny.
Rebellion, internal cooperation and external cooperation, intends to overthrow the great Zhou Dynasty. Now I am going to gather troops to kill the rebels."
He said and strode away.
Fan Zhi stared blankly at Zhao Kuangyin's figure, with a sudden flash of brilliance in his eyes.
The current situation is like a chess game, played openly and covertly.
They are the most disadvantaged party and have almost no way to survive.
Zhao Kuangyin's move directly overturned the chess game and muddied all the waters.
What follows will inevitably be a chaotic battle, and the one who survives will be the final winner.
Maybe you can win!
Fan Zhi respectfully bowed to Zhao Kuangyin and said: "Fan Zhi congratulates the palace commander on his triumphant return!"
**********
South Bank of the Yellow River!
West of Huazhou City.
Zhou Jun military camp.
Luo Youdu did not rest, but was looking at a pile of information on the table, thinking about tomorrow's showdown with Fan Zhi.
It is not difficult to win over Fan Zhi, but what is really difficult is how to involve Zhao Kuangyin.
How could Zhao Kuangyin be deposed?
Fighting Fan Zhi is not the goal, Zhao Kuangyin is the real opponent.
Luo Youdu originally admired Fan Zhi. He had been prime minister in the Zhou Dynasty for many years and had done many great things.
Guo Rong, a militant, was able to conquer Western Shu, fight against the Southern Tang, and defeat the Khitan in a short period of time, and Fan Zhi was indispensable.
But Luo Youdu couldn't understand or understand the series of operations after he took the power.
The same is true in history. He sought revenge on Zhao Kuangyin, but ended up being played like a monkey by the Zhao brothers. In the end, Zhao Kuangyi mocked Guo Rong for his death.
But no matter what, Luo Youdu didn't take Fan Zhi seriously, and all he could think about was how to take the opportunity to kill Zhao Kuangyin.
At this moment, the guard's voice came from outside the tent.
"Commander the army, a post horse has been sent from the capital, and I would like to see you."
When Luo Youdu heard that Yi was riding a horse, he did not dare to neglect. He collected the intelligence information in front of him and said, "Ask him to enter the account."
To put it simply, this post horse is the messenger at the post station.
Due to wars, the post stations in the Five Dynasties were not as large as those in the Tang Dynasty. They were only divided into three classes: step-by-step, horse, and express delivery. Express delivery was the fastest and could travel four hundred miles a day. It was only used in emergencies or major events.
Among them, a post horse is the name of an urgent messenger. A post horse has a copper bell tied to its collar. When galloping on the road, it rings the bell during the day and lights up the fire at night. It is not responsible for killing people.
The dispatch of post horses is a top priority.
Not long after, Yiyi rode into the tent, raised a hand fold with both hands, and said: "Command the army and join the fold."
Luo Youdu curiously took the fold and opened it to take a closer look. He opened it and took a closer look, but it was the fold under the meeting hall. He stepped forward and wrote six words: "Your Majesty is critically ill, please return soon."
Looking at the folded hand, Luo Youdu's heart trembled, and he felt the urge to leave immediately.
Immediately, doubts arose again.
If it weren't for Wang Pu, Zhao Pu's series of news from the capital, and the news mentioned by Fu Yu, Luo Youdu would probably lead his guards south without hesitation at this moment.
As he got closer and closer to Bianjing, the depressive situation in Beijing was reflected in Zhao Pu's letters.
This urgent edict came to the council hall in the middle of the night, which made him hesitate.
In this situation, it would be too dangerous for Qingqi to rush to Bianjing.
But if you really don't go, if there is no problem and Guo Rong really wakes up, it will be troublesome.
At that time, a hundred mouths will not be able to explain clearly.
"How about we simply send the army back?"
This thought flashed through Luo Youdu's mind, but he quickly gave it up.
It is so unreasonable and completely unjustifiable to lead the army back...
"That's right! Navy!"
Luo Youdu suddenly thought of the navy.
Land is dangerous, but water is very safe.
Moreover, it is the most normal thing for a ship to move down the river and march at night.
He took 20,000 sailors with him, and no one could say anything about him.
"His Majesty!"
Luo Youdu let out a cry of sorrow, rushed out of the tent, and shouted: "Come here, I want to leave for Bianjing immediately."
He got on the horse in a hurry, but it seemed that he was too eager and stepped on the empty space. He fell to the ground, hurting his hands and feet, and rolled on the ground in pain.
The surrounding guards were stunned and hurriedly came to help him.
Luo Youdu crooked his feet and wanted to get on the horse, but he couldn't get on. He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
Hu Yanzan, Cao Bin, and Pan Mei heard the commotion and rushed over. Seeing Luo Youdu's miserable appearance, they were all confused.
Hu Yanzan forcibly held Luo Youdu down.
Cao Bin said: "Tongjun, what's going on?"
"Go back to Bianjing. Your Majesty is critically ill and needs to return to Bianjing."
Compared with Guo Zongxun's exaggerated acting skills, Luo Youdu's acting skills were master-level. He was shaking with pain and there were some tears in the corners of his eyes.
Upon hearing that Guo Rong was critically ill, there was a moment of silence around him.
The emperor Guo Rong also had a very high prestige in the Yuyingsi.
Especially in the hearts of Cao Bin and Pan Mei, both of them had followed Guo Rong.
Pan Mei stepped forward to rub Luo Youdu's feet and said, "But how can Tongjun ride a horse like this?"
"By boat, yes!" Luo Youdu pulled Pan Mei and said, "If you can't ride a horse, you can take a boat. Come on, take me to Biankou. I want to go back to Beijing by boat."
**********
There is a former military camp at the junction of Kaifeng and Zhengzhou.
Zhao Kuangyin spoke impassionedly about the crimes of Luo Youdu and Han Tong.
"The traitor Luo Youdu was highly regarded by His Majesty and given a heavy responsibility. However, the thief took advantage of Your Majesty's serious illness to do something disloyal. He sent someone to contact me yesterday and asked me to support his rebellion and use the power Your Majesty granted us as the Front Officer to guard the palace.
, let me open the imperial city so that he can easily enter the city, kill the king and become emperor. After that, he named me King Zhao."
"Brothers, tell me, can I agree to this?"
Although in this era, the strong soldier is king.
But Guo Rong, the emperor, was still very popular.
Hearing what Zhao Kuangyin said, all the soldiers in the front department were filled with indignation and rage, shouting in unison: "No, no!"
Zhao Kuangyin's voice suddenly rose: "I didn't say I couldn't..."
Whether it was the generals or soldiers in the front office, they all looked at each other in confusion. No one expected that the front office officer would suddenly say such a thing.
The high morale suddenly cooled down.
Zhao Kuangyin said: "I just took action and chopped off his head."
In an instant, the mountains roared and the tsunami roared.
"Well done!"
Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand down to silence the soldiers, and said with a sad smile: "I didn't expect that Luo Youdu, a dog thief, also bribed Han Tong and the infantry commander of the Guards and Military Division. Now Han Tong is Luo Youdu's dog, and he leads
The guards and military commanders surrounded the imperial city and slaughtered our brothers in front of the palace..."
His eyes suddenly burst open and he shouted loudly: "I wish I could eat the flesh of these two thieves and drink the blood of these two thieves!"
"Your Majesty, all the saints are trapped in the imperial city now. There are guards and military commanders inside who are causing trouble, and there is Luo Youdu, a thief outside who is causing trouble!"
"Brothers, we are alone now. Do you dare to follow me to kill the thieves and save His Majesty, the Saint, with the brothers who are trapped in the imperial city?"
"Cut off the heads of the two thieves Luo Youdu and Han Tong and hang them on Bianjing City."
The war drums were beaten again, majestic and full of murderous spirit. At this point, the atmosphere of the whole venue reached its peak.
"Swear to kill Luo Youdu" and "fight to the death with Han Tong, the dog thief".
The tens of thousands of soldiers present roared one after another, deafening...
The Palace Chief was one of the few elites in the world. Incited by this atmosphere, his morale reached its peak, as if he could crush any enemy.
Zhao Kuangyin looked at the mighty and powerful group under his command, with great pride in his heart, and shouted: "Let's go!"
The place where his long stick pointed was exactly where Luo Youdu's military camp was located.
Han Tong is nothing more than a clown.
Luo Youdu is the real enemy. As long as Luo Youdu is killed, Luo Youdu's army can be dispersed.
So with the help of Lao Zhao's family connections, he can conquer many losers.
As for right and wrong!
If you win, who cares??
