Wang Lin quietly looked back at this official of the Song Dynasty who seemed to have suddenly aged ten years.
The hearts of all the ministers were cold.
Da Song, is this coming to an end?
And the Wang Lin in front of him is the Cao thief in the late Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo?
Li Tong, the imperial censor in the palace, suddenly rushed over, wailing and crying: "Wang Lin, you rebellious traitor, I will fight with you!"
Wang Lin waved his hand, and the sword, which was dripping with blood, was instantly unsheathed and placed under Li Tong's chin: "Li Tong, if you have the courage, just hit the edge of my sword, and I will spare your whole family!"
Li Tong's face stiffened, then turned red and green, and he backed away slightly.
Wang Lin laughed loudly: "Guan Jia, I will make a bet with you. This group of civil servants and generals in the DPRK who claim to be loyal to the emperor and the country, and who will go through fire and water for the country of the Song Dynasty, even if the royal family of Zhao and Song Dynasty are dead, they will not
I am willing to give up my own life."
Wang Lin held the horizontal sword in his hand and said solemnly: "Today, if there are no less than twenty people in the court who take the initiative to jump down from the Mingde Gate and are willing to die for the Song Dynasty, I will withdraw my troops and leave Tokyo, and I will never kill anyone again!"
"
The civil and military courtiers looked at each other, and then quietly retreated.
The Mingde Gate is more than ten meters high. If you jump down and your bones will be shattered, you will definitely die.
Wang Lin had a smile on his face, but there was a chill in his eyes.
"Every one of them is righteous and sanctimonious, and they keep saying that they are willing to die for the court, the country, and the common people. Then jump to me! I will help you!"
"Where is the integrity of civil servants?"
Wang Lin shouted: "Dong Qiliang!"
Yan Qing waved his hand, and two tiger guards came forward and dragged Dong Qiliang out of the crowd, making a show of pushing him down the tower.
Dong Qiliang's legs were like chaff, and yellow soup rolled down his crotch.
He suddenly burst into tears, struggled and fell to the ground with a thud, and kowtowed repeatedly: "Bohai County King, spare your life! I deserve to die, and I deserve to die for my crime, but to frame the prince, this is all the intimidation of the prince and the master.
It’s a last resort!!”
Wang Lin couldn't help but laugh, turned around and said to Zhao Ji: "Officials, look, this is the loyal minister in your eyes. Civil servants are now professing loyalty to me, what else can they say?"
Wang Lin's face turned cold and he said indifferently: "Push it down!"
Two tiger guards immediately stepped forward, grabbed Dong Qiliang, and threw him from the tower. There was a loud noise, and Dong Qiliang lay bloody and bloody under the Mingde Gate.
All the ministers exclaimed in surprise, especially the group of admonishers and admonishers who followed Dong Qiliang to impeach Wang Lin. They wailed and silently hid behind the crowd.
Li Gang sighed and bowed: "Your Majesty, please give some dignity to the court, the officials, and the Song Dynasty!"
…
In the evening, the West Camp and the East Camp were defeated one after another. The Tiger Guards and the 10,000 Fuhu Cavalry commanded by Yue Fei entered the imperial city. The 10,000 Forbidden Army commanded by Zhou Wu saw that they were unstoppable and surrendered.
The chaos was settled.
But the city gates of Tokyo are still closed, and the people are staying behind closed doors.
Only Wang Lin's Tiger Guards were cleaning up the corpses of the Death Guards inside and outside the imperial city. Thousands of corpses were transported out of the city and turned into blazing fire.
Zhao Ji and his son, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, were imprisoned in Longde Hall.
Strict curfews are implemented in the palace city, imperial city, outer city, and inner city.
Outside Yanfu Palace.
Zhao Fujin was wrapped in a thick cloak and said with a sad look on his face: "Lin Lang, can you, for the sake of this slave, allow your father to be raised in the palace?"
Wang Lin's eyes fell on the glazed eaves of Yanfu Palace and said softly: "Maode, actually I have never thought about killing the official, nor have I thought about taking his throne. This time, I was just forced to protect myself.
That’s all.”
Zhao Fujin said in astonishment: "Lin Lang, don't you want to be the emperor? If you want to be the emperor, how about I become a noble concubine for you?"
"Maode, go and talk to the officials for me. This is my letter to the officials. Please bring it in."
Zhao Fujin nodded and hurried into Yanfu Palace with his personal maids Yan Cui and Mu Lan.
Yan Qing bowed and said: "Your Majesty, now that the matter has come to an end, Your Majesty must be careful to avoid raising tigers. If..."
Wang Lin shook his head and said: "Xiao Yi, there's no need to say it. Even if I want to sit on this throne, it's not now. The top priority now is to prepare the army for war and gather the strength of the whole country to fight to the death with the invading Jin people."
"What you are worried about will not happen. Since I have eliminated the emperor, I can't leave any trouble for myself. Don't worry, I have already made arrangements."
There were some things he couldn't say to Yan Qingming.
Now Dayi is still in the Huangsong Dynasty, and he has become very close to the Zhong family. If he takes the throne, Zhong Shidao will definitely mobilize his troops to avenge the Zhong Shizhong.
But if Zhao Ji still sits on the throne, Zhong Shidao will lose the excuse to raise troops.
As for the future, he will let the Zhong family army die in the right place and die on the main battlefield against the Jin Dynasty!
Royal study room.
Zhao Ji's face was still a little pale. He lay on the soft couch and looked at Wang Lin with complex eyes.
He thought he would die, but unexpectedly Wang Lin didn't want to kill him, and even reserved the throne for him.
Although Zhao Ji knew that he would become a puppet controlled by Wang Lin in the future, it was better to die than to live. Being alive, continuing to be the emperor, and continuing to enjoy the glory and wealth was already a gift from God to him.
Zhao Ji trembled and said: "Wang Lin, do you really not know how to kill me?"
Wang Lin raised his hand and swore: "Officials, I am willing to swear that from now on, if the officials do not disappoint me, I will definitely not disappoint the officials! If you violate this oath, heaven and earth will destroy you!"
"But if something like this happens again, I cannot guarantee that I will give up the use of force!"
The ancients respected the connection between heaven and man and took their oaths very seriously.
Wang Lin swore an oath, and Zhao Ji felt a lot more at ease.
Zhao Ji sighed: "I never thought about killing you. Although I also intended to use you to check and balance the prince, in the final analysis, I never believed that you would rebel against me."
"Everything depends on you, and I will follow you in every way. After a hundred years, I hope you can still support Gou'er and pass on the legacy of our Emperor Song Dynasty."
Zhao Ji looked at Wang Lin with bright eyes.
Wang Lin smiled but did not nod.
Zhao Ji sighed in his heart.
In fact, that's all. He was able to keep himself and his throne as a result of greed. As for future generations, he didn't care about so many.
Regardless of whether he admits it or not, Zhao Song's country will only end with Zhao Ji.
…
It was the tenth day of the third month in the second year of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty.
The official Zhao Ji announced to the world that on the grounds that the prince Zhao Huan had rebelled, he was deposed as the crown prince and sentenced to death.
The Duke of Su, Zhao Shu, made false claims and left the fiefdom without permission. His crime will not be pardoned and he will be sentenced to death.
Later, Wang Boyan, Huang Qianshan and thirty-six other court officials were executed.
These are all representatives of the capitulation faction named by Wang Lin in the future.
The ruling and opposition parties are stable.
On March 11, Zhao Gou, the ninth son of the emperor, was enthroned as the crown prince and established as the heir.
Li Gang was granted the title of Duke of Anguo, Grand Master, and General Leader of the Dynasty.
Zhang Shuye was granted the title of Rongguo Gong, and he also commanded the rank of Taiwei. He was in charge of the troops and horses of the capital and Hebei provinces and remained in charge of Hebei Province.
Zhang Suo and Fu Liang were appointed as Hebei's recruiting envoys and Hedong's deputy economic envoys respectively.
Wu Min was demoted to Minister of Rites and still served as cabinet minister.
Although Wu Min supported Zhao Huan, talents were rare and there was currently a lack of leading civil servants in the court, so Wang Lin decided to forget about it.
He transferred Dengzhou Tongpan Zongze to Beijing and became the prefect of Kaifeng and the military and defense envoy of Tokyo.
Move 50,000 Nanjing Shenwu troops into Tokyo and integrate the remnants of the three battalions of the original Forbidden Army in Tokyo.
Guan Sheng was granted the title of commander of the Shenwu Army, Ma Kuo was appointed deputy capital commander, and Wu Song, Xu Ning, Qin Ming, and Huang Xin were transferred from Fuhu Army to the command of the Shenwu Army.
Brothers Zhang Bofen and Zhang Zhongxiong served as commanders of the Shenwu Army and were given the title of viscount.
Yan Qingyao served as the commander of the Imperial City Division, and Wu Song also served as the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division.
Since then, all the Tokyo Forbidden Forces have been controlled by Wang Lin.
The powerful generals Zhang Jun, Han Shizhong and Liu Guangshi of the Western Army were transferred to serve as commanders of the Fuhu Army.
March 11th.
Wang Lin was granted the title of King of Qi by the Jin Dynasty, with the title of Grand Master. He was also the general manager of the Privy Council and the general manager of the world's military forces. Other duties remained the same.
Yue Fei was granted the title of Uncle Zhongyong, and Yan Qing was granted the title of Uncle Cheng.
All the generals affiliated with the Fuhu Army will be promoted to one rank.
The title of Zhao Fujin, the concubine of Maode Emperor, was changed to the wife of the Song Dynasty, and she was given the title of Queen of Qi in marriage and became the concubine of the King of Qi.
etc.
Wang Lin, who was rumored to be the reincarnation of Ziwei Xingjun, did not usurp the throne and proclaim himself emperor. Instead, he handed the throne back to the official Zhao Ji and established a new crown prince. Judging from the feedback from Yan Qing, the people of Tokyo were actually a little disappointed.
Later, another song "Xijiang Moon" by Wang Lin was heard in Tokyo:
"The three moral emperors and the five emperors were famous for their fame after the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. The heroic five uncles were involved in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the rise and fall of the Qin and Han Dynasties. There are several lines of names in the Qing Dynasty, and there are countless barren hills in the north. The fields of the predecessors are harvested by the later generations. It is said that there is a fight between dragons and tigers."
…
Han family.
On March 13th, the princess of Qi gave birth to a baby.
Not only did Wang Lin personally come to pay his birthday, but for Wang Lin's sake, Li Gang and other ministers also sent people to send birthday gifts.
The main door of the Han family, which was not easy to open, opened early. Wang Lin walked slowly into the Han family. Many members of the Han family who were waiting on both sides knelt down subconsciously.
Wang Lin almost became emperor.
But in the future... he may not necessarily become an emperor.
The Han family understands this tacitly.
People in the world may not be confused, but Zhao Ji is still on the throne, and the prince is also the prince. After several rounds of cleaning up, the court is now completely controlled by Li Gang, and they are all loyal and courageous militants.
Even if Ru Zhongshidao and others knew this, there was nothing they could do.
Unless he disregards national justice and wants to rebel.
Wang Lin bowed to Qi Guo and Han Jiayan, but the couple did not dare to accept the courtesy and hurriedly avoided it.
At this time, Yan Qing suddenly rushed into Han's house, looking excited.
Wang Lin was startled.
Yan Qing has always been calm, and rarely loses her composure like this.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Three days ago, the Princess and Madam Zhang gave birth one after another. The Princess gave birth to a little prince, while Madam Zhang gave birth to a daughter with a rich daughter."
Yan Qing bowed and said.
Giving birth?!
Got both children?!
Wang Lin was so excited that he threw his head back and laughed wildly.
Han Jiayan, Qi Guo and the Han family were also overjoyed.
Han Yan gave birth to a son, and he was the legitimate son. If Wang Lin really ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in the future, Han Yan would be the queen, and Han Yan's son would be the crown prince.
It is not a problem for the Han family to continue to be rich and prosperous for another hundred years.
Even if Wang Lin stops here, Han Yan's son will definitely be the eldest son of Prince Qi.
The Han family and Yourong Yan.
Han Jiayan and Princess Qi led everyone in the Han family to bow and congratulate: "Congratulations, King Qi!"
Wang Lin returned the gift with his hand and said with a smile: "Same joy, same joy!"
At this moment, Wang Lin's heart returned like an arrow.
