Chapter 212 The Newcomer Replaces the Old in Bianliang City in the Snowstorm
It's snowing for the first time in the ancient city. It's quiet and elegant under the pure white, and the snow scenes are like ink paintings.
The beautiful fairyland-like scenery in front of them made many poets feel poetic. They just wanted to sit on the fan tower, enjoy the snow and recite poems.
It's a pity that not everyone has their leisurely mood.
"What does he want to do? What does he want to do!"
In the palace, the dark-faced Zhao Huan roared loudly, "Do you want to rebel?"
Many civil servants and ministers below lowered their heads and said nothing, but they were thinking in their hearts, 'You are the only one in the official family, and only now can you see that King Kang wants to rebel.'
"You all tell me." Zhao Huan was so angry that his voice was hoarse because of the anger. "What should we do now?"
After the news that Qin Hui secretly defected to the Emperor came out, Zhao Huan was furious. Taking advantage of Zhang Shuye's opportunity to lead troops into the city, he first got rid of Li Gang, who had been scolding him all day long, and handed over the military power of Bianliang City to Zhang Shuye.
night.
Immediately, Zhang Shuye was used to remove Gao Qiu's military power, then put the Supreme Emperor under house arrest, and then captured all the Supreme Emperor's party.
I finally had the last laugh in this mutual game.
By this time, everyone in the court finally became his people.
It's a pity that most of these people are from the peace faction. It would be too difficult for them to say how to cede land and pay compensation, but to come up with a way to deal with King Kang who has a large army.
"Officials." Bai Shizhong, who had successfully driven away Li Gang, immediately stepped forward and made a suggestion in order to show his usefulness, "Kang Kang gathered a large army privately without the permission of the court, so he should be ordered to give him poisonous wine by the imperial envoy!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in Gongchui Hall suddenly looked at him sideways.
Even Zhao Huan expressed surprise, "How did you become the servant?"
Li Yunze is not a foolish and loyal person who just drinks poisoned wine. If he was really so obedient, he should have given him up long ago when he sent someone to take over the military power.
"Official family." Wang Boyan, a direct scholar of Longtuge, came out to report, "Kang Kang has evil plans, so he sealed the Kang Prince's palace first."
The sealing of Prince Kang's palace was a lie. What he meant was that Zhao Huan should arrest all Prince Kang's family first and use these people as hostages for coercion.
Zhao Huan was shameless, frowning and remaining silent, hoping that someone would come forward to help him take the blame.
After all, arresting his brother's family members was something he really couldn't do by himself.
At this time, Wu Min came out and said frankly, "This statement is simply ridiculous! If the palace of Prince Kang is sealed, it will only damage the reputation of the official family, and it will be of no use to Prince Kang. Prince Kang is ambitious and has calculated everything to this day. How could he be killed because of his family members?"
Under coercion, I'm afraid that the most I can do in exchange for it is 'have a piece of the pie with me'. What will you do when the time comes? Do you really want to kill him?"
Zhao Huan was really anxious, "They are all talking nonsense, no one can say anything really useful!"
It was only at this time that Shangshu Zuopu She Tang Ke stood up and said, "Officials, I would like to ask the officials to confer King Kang as the crown prince!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar.
Wang Boyan and others came out one after another and shouted: "If the official family has its own heirs, how can it be said that the emperor's younger brother is the emperor's brother?"
"Officials." Tang Ke ignored these pig teammates and said sincerely, "Only in this way can we appease King Kang and take back the military power in his hands."
"What Tang Xianggong said is absolutely true." Zhao Huan's eyes lit up and he nodded immediately.
At this time, only by using the false name of the Crown Prince, could he possibly appease his ambitious ninth brother.
As long as he can be relieved of the military power in his hands, he can be taken down by simply using his left foot first when entering the door.
The Supreme Emperor, who was under house arrest at this time, was Jiulang's role model.
"It's too cheap for him. When the time comes, I'll treat him to a pound of arsenic to relieve his shock."
Finally, he had a good idea. Zhao Huan, who was in a good mood, immediately arranged for the bachelors to write the imperial edict, and after using the jade seal, he asked Tang Ke to take the imperial edict out of the city and go to Yuetai to fool Jiulang.
Looking at Tang Ke's hurried away figure, Zhang Shuye felt uneasy in his heart, 'Kang Wang can even defeat the Jin people, how could he fall for such a crude plan!'
Tang Ke braved the falling snowflakes and took a carriage along the Tianjie Royal Road out of Bianliang City, and then went straight to Yuetai.
What you see along the way are all the Song soldiers who are in high spirits. Many of them hold cloth in their arms and have cloth bags full of copper coins on their shoulders.
Tang Ke, who was quietly looking through the car window, called to the imperial guard who was accompanying him to go straight to inquire about the information.
Not long after the meeting, the leaders all rushed back with uncontrollable envy on their faces: "Ms. Kang, I heard that Prince Kang gave a reward to the entire army."
"Humph, you are buying people's hearts. To ignore the imperial court for the sake of a trivial thing is nothing but rebellion." The angry Tang Ke closed the window of the carriage heavily, blocking out the snow and cold wind, and the inside of the car was filled with treason.
A maid warmed his hands and feet.
The imperial guards, whose noses were cold from the cold in the winter, looked at each other in disbelief and said to themselves, "As long as I have enough money, I want to be a rebel."
I don’t know what happened today, but a large number of Song Army officers and soldiers are constantly gathering at Yuetai Camp.
Tang Ke's convoy finally managed to squeeze out a way into the military camp with great difficulty.
When getting off the carriage, Tang Ke forced himself to smile and wore thick mink fur to visit Li Yunze.
"The emperor's brother?" Looking at the imperial edict sent by Tang Ke, Li Yunze asked with a playful expression, "Who suggested this?"
"Your Majesty, you are a minor minister." Tang Ke, who smiled broadly, explained, "Your Majesty, Aguda, the former leader of the Kingdom of Jin, did not have any sons of his own. Instead, he passed the title of ruler to his younger brother Wu Qimai.
.We, the Song Dynasty, can also follow suit and the prince will succeed us in the future."
"Hahaha~~~" Li Yunze was amused, and he asked, "Ms. Tang, do you know why Wu Qimai was able to move from the position of the emperor's brother to the king of the country?"
"This." Tang Ke was stunned for a moment, then saluted and responded, "Of course it's because of Aguda's pass."
"Ms. Tang, you have exposed your ignorance by saying this."
Li Yunze simply stood up and handed the imperial edict naming him the emperor's brother to Niu Gao to keep. "Wu Qimai was able to ascend to the throne because he held military power! Emperor, only those with strong soldiers and horses will do it! You have already done your duty to your father-in-law, haven't you?
Have you read historical records?”
"This, this" Tang Ke was sweating on his forehead and didn't know how to explain.
He also didn't expect that young King Kang would be so hard to fool.
Li Yunze glanced at him, shook his head and said nothing.
Even if he is a traitor, compared to Qin Hui, this guy's rank is not worthy of carrying someone's shoes.
At this time, Zhai Cong walked in and saluted Li Yunze, "Your Majesty, everything is ready."
‘Ahem.’ Li Yunze raised his hand and coughed twice, pretending that he didn’t hear anything.
Zhai Cong, who received the signal from Niu Gao's eyes, quickly came to his senses and hurriedly said again, "Your Majesty, all the soldiers and soldiers are gathered outside and want to thank Your Majesty for the reward."
"Um."
Li Yunze stopped talking to Tang Ke and walked out with his hands behind his back.
Tang Ke felt a very strong feeling in his heart and subconsciously followed him out.
As soon as he left the barracks, he felt dizzy.
Because what you see are all shining soldiers, and all the people standing next to each other are soldiers.
What frightened him the most was that a general in the front row was holding a bright yellow robe!
This scene instantly reminded him of that big event from more than a hundred years ago. How similar it was!
Sure enough, all the generals rushed forward, and Zhang Jun, holding a yellow robe, put the robe on Li Yunze.
Then all the soldiers bowed down and shouted long live.
Hundreds of thousands of Song troops, after years of endurance under strong civil and weak military suppression, finally chose the emperor they recognized at this time, not the emperor recognized by the turbans.
The emperor recognized by the turbans almost ruined the entire country.
Everyone bowed, but Tang Ke stood there in a daze.
Until this moment, Li Yunze seemed to have woken up from a dream, stamping his feet and yelling, "What are you doing! This king is loyal to the government, and the sun and the moon can show it! How can it be like this, how can it be like this?"
When he said this, he also hurriedly raised his hand to untie the yellow robe on his body, which was obviously only loosely tied.
Maybe I was too angry, but I couldn't untie it with both hands.
According to the procedure, the next step was for the generals to rush forward and persuade Li Yunze to accept the request of the generals and reluctantly become emperor.
But something unexpected happened at this time.
"Your Majesty~~~"
Tang Ke let out a shrill roar at the top of his lungs. He walked on the ground covered with heavy snow. He quickly moved his knees and threw himself next to Li Yunze and bowed, "I weep with blood and pray to the prince to obey the fate of heaven and to be the people of the world." He called upon me to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor to save all the people of the world from the fire and water!”
Even though he was used to seeing weird performances by people in big headscarves all over the world, Tang Ke's performance at this moment still shocked Li Yunze.
A moment ago, he had come to deceive the rebel king's envoy on behalf of the official family, but as soon as he turned around, he actually surrendered.
Li Yunze couldn't help but want to praise him, "What you are riding on is not a boat, but a swimming ring. There is really no one else who has the ability to adapt to the wind."
Tang Ke had worked in the local area for a long time and had been on a mission to Jinying before. He knew that people in the army would dare to do anything if they were jealous.
Now hundreds of thousands of troops are performing the yellow robes in front of his eyes. If he doesn't clear his identity as an official messenger as soon as possible, he may not wait until the role of Prince Kang is over, and he will be beheaded to sacrifice the flag.
He knew very well that the current Bianliang City could not stop the rebels at all.
It can be said that as long as Li Yunze makes up his mind, no one can stop him from sitting on that chair.
It's ridiculous that you gentlemen are still thinking of using various methods to harm others, which is nothing compared to absolute force.
The generals who had come to their senses swarmed forward, lifted Li Yunze up high, and then marched toward Bianliang City amid the shouts and cheers of thousands of soldiers.
When Tang Ke saw that the imperial guards who had escorted him had also joined the team, he couldn't help but feel a wave of fear in his heart.
Fortunately, the change happened quickly, otherwise I would never see my lovely wife and concubine at home again.
After getting up and cleaning up the mud, snow and water on his knees, Tang Ke was going to go with him to Bianliang City to help, taking the opportunity to leave a good impression on King Kang, and maybe he could continue to be the husband of the new dynasty.
Before he could start, he saw Niu Gao walking over happily. He stretched out his hand to hold Tang Ke's arm and dragged him into the barracks. "Ms. Tang, the prince ordered me to talk to my husband about something."
Tang Ke really didn't think much and was dragged into the barracks subconsciously. He didn't even notice that Niu Gao's other hand was behind his back, holding a short-handled ax in his hand!
Wang Zhen's troops stationed in the city have already controlled all the city gates.
When Li Yunze rushed into the city with a large number of soldiers, everything was a foregone conclusion.
In the snowy Bianliang City, new people replace old ones.
