That night, the two thousand horses entered the palace in batches, and the palace was strictly blocked, with three steps and five steps, so Chao Yong no longer had to worry about the news being passed.
The next day, fast horses kept sending messages into the palace, and the Liangshan army approached the capital.
All the people who reported the news were taken down as soon as they entered the palace.
When Chao Yong was considering whether to seal the city, he saw Yan Qing coming into the palace from the tunnel.
Chao Yong said: "Why did Xiao Yi enter the palace?"
Yan Qing reported: "After the prince entered the palace, I asked people to pay attention to the movements in the market. Now the people have spread the news that my Daliang soldiers are approaching the capital."
Chao Yong immediately said to Duan Chang on the side: "In the name of Zhao Ji, your people were ordered to close the city gates. At the same time, the whole city was martial law and the people were strictly prohibited from going to the streets. He said that the bandits of Liangshan came to attack the city. He also ordered all the imperial guards in the city to stand by in the military camp, and there was no military order.
, no one can go out."
Duan Chang also knew that it was time for him to make contributions, so he hurriedly said, "Yes."
Duan Chang received the order out, and Chao Yong and Yan Qing came to Xuande Tower.
Xuande Tower is the city tower at the south gate of the palace and is built magnificently.
Upon climbing Xuande Tower, the wide Imperial Street in front of the palace and several streets in the distance will be fully visible.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong"
Soon, Tokyo City was alarmed, all the city gates closed, and teams of imperial guards also appeared on the street.
"The Liangshan bandits attacked the city, and the whole city was martial law and no movement was allowed."
With the shouts of the imperial guards, the streets suddenly became messy, merchants closed, and the people rushed to run home.
It took half an hour for the commotion in the city to stop. There were no people in the street market that had just been crowded, and only teams of imperial guards patrolling along the street.
Chao Yong watched the city calm down on Xuande Tower, and no imperial guards came to the palace. He was relieved. As long as the city was so vigilant, the flag of the Tokyo would also be planted in the evening.
Chao Yong and Yan Qing had just stepped down from Xuande Tower, and saw a personal soldier coming and reported: "Someone is coming from the Prince Yun's Mansion."
"Leading the way"
Soon, Chao Yong followed his personal soldiers to a flying bridge.
Prince Zhao Kai of Yun is Zhao Ji's third son. He has been smart since childhood. When he grew up, he is like Zhao Ji. He is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so he is deeply favored by Zhao Ji.
Zhao Kai is also the highest-ranking prince in history. He participated in the imperial examination in the first year of Chonghe, passed the imperial examination, and went to the palace examination. Zhao Ji naturally liked his son, so he asked Zhao Kai to be the top scholar, but Qingliu in the court advised him to avoid suspicion.
Then Zhao Ji pointed Wang Ang as the top scorer and Zhao Kai as the second scorer.
Two years ago, he was named Prince Yun and was promoted to the Imperial City Office, nominally in charge of the palace guards. In fact, he was not responsible for the palace guards, but other military generals were responsible.
Although he did not have real power, Prince Yun was also very jealous of other princes when he was in this position. Because after he was promoted to the Imperial City Department, he could enter and exit the palace freely, but other adult princes could not be summoned by the emperor.
Entering the palace.
Zhao Kai's favor is not only this. In order to facilitate Zhao Kai's entry and exit from the palace, Zhao Ji also allowed Zhao Kai to build a flying bridge between his mansion and the palace, so that Zhao Kai could go directly to the palace from his mansion.
Zhao Ji's actions all hinted to everyone that he had the intention of abolishing the country and was good at flattering Wang Fu, after seeing Zhao Ji's intentions, he began to secretly report some of the mistakes of the prince Zhao Huan to please Zhao Ji.
The crown prince Zhao Huan was born to Zhao Ji's Yuan companion, Wang. Queen Wang is respectful and frugal. At that time, the imperial concubine Zheng and Wang competed for favor, threatening her throne, but Queen Wang did not suppress them. Unexpectedly, someone instructed the eunuch to falsely accused her.
She was inappropriate and Zhao Ji sent someone to verify it, but naturally there was no evidence.
Although he finally returned Wang's innocence, as the queen, he was verified like this, and Wang became depressed from then on. Not long after, Wang passed away, when Zhao Huan was only nine years old.
It can be said that Zhao Huan experienced the ruthless struggle in the palace since he was a child. In addition, his mother died early and no one took care of him, it can be said that he had become cowardly since he was a child. In addition, Zhao Ji favored Zhao Kai, Zhao Huan knew that he had just taken the name of his eldest son.
He was named the crown prince after being divided. Apart from that, he had no advantage in competition with Zhao Kai, so he was always careful.
A few days ago, Zhao Ji rectified the court's principles and ordered the selection of talented people. Wang Fu also took the opportunity to report that the situation in the world is tense and that a talented prince should be established instead of sorting it out by the elders.
Zhao Huan was not sure whether he was angry or frightened, but after Fan Chao returned, he became ill and had been recuperating at home these days.
Although Zhao Kai is very favored by Zhao Ji, he is not the prince and cannot attend court on weekdays.
Moreover, Zhao Kai is more obsessed with painting than Zhao Ji. In addition, he has no government affairs to deal with. He often spends a whole day with one stroke, and his servants dare not disturb him.
Yesterday he made another day of painting and did not stop until evening.
I have thoughts on the day and dreams at night, and I have some thoughts in my sleep.
I woke up early this morning and went to verify the thoughts in my sleep again.
It was not until the whole city was martial law that his staff at his house interrupted him to paint.
When Zhao Kai heard that Zhao Ji was furious yesterday, he asked all officials to stay in the palace to think about countermeasures. Today, the bandits of Liangshan came to attack the city again. Now the whole venue was martial law, so he hurriedly changed his clothes and entered the palace to see Zhao Ji.
Unexpectedly, the palace he had just entered was taken by Chao Yong's two personal soldiers.
Zhao Kai was also furious when he was twisted by the two of them. He immediately scolded: "I am the king who can enter and exit the imperial palace freely. Why don't you let go?"
The two personal soldiers said, "Without the emperor's order, all those who entered the palace without authorization were taken down."
Zhao Kai talked to several personal soldiers, but the two personal soldiers said nothing else to him except this sentence.
While Zhao Kai was struggling, he saw Chao Yong and Yan Qing coming and shouted: "I am here, let them let go."
Chao Yong smiled and said, "Are you Zhao Kai, Prince Yun?"
Zhao Kai was stunned when he heard Chao Yong's name, and looked at Chao Yong in confusion and said, "It's me, you look at him, you are not a general in the Imperial Guard, right?"
Chao Yong also looked at Zhao Kai curiously for a while. He looked seventy-seventy-six points like Zhao Ji, and was handsome and elegant. He smiled and said, "I will take you to see your father, and you will know who I am."
Now.”
"Let him go"
After the two personal soldiers received Chao Yong's order, they let go of Zhao Kai.
Seeing that Chao Yong had no respect for him, Zhao Kai was also very curious, but forgot to let Chao Yong deal with these two rude soldiers. After the event, the arm that was twisted and hurt by the two personal soldiers, he followed.
Chao Yong headed to the Chugong Hall.
When he entered the Chuigong Hall, he saw Zhao Ji standing there with a haggard face. He couldn't help but run over and said, "The state is urgent. I'm late. I'll ask my father to sue him."
Seeing that his beloved son seemed to be unaware of it, Zhao Ji couldn't help but tremble and said, "It's gone, I won't have to deal with state affairs in the future."
Seeing that Zhao Ji was in a state of dismay and shaking manner, Zhao Kai wanted to step forward to support Zhao Ji.
After a few steps, Wu Song, who was monitoring Zhao Ji, shouted: "Stop."
Zhao Kai was stopped again and again today, and he became angry and looked at Wu Song and said, "Bold."
Wu Song heard that it was Zhao Ji, the son of a foolish monarch, and he had no good feelings in his heart. Zhao Kai scolded him and waved his hand and slapped him.
Zhao Kaiwu is a good at writing and writing, but his martial arts skills are far inferior. He avoided it and did not dodge it. He was slapped to the ground on the spot.
Wu Song showed no mercy. With a crisp sound, Zhao Kai's two teeth flew into the air.
Zhao Kai covered his mouth and got up, not caring about asking the emperor for instructions, so he directly shouted outside the hall: "Come here."
Zhao Ji was heartbroken when he saw Zhao Kai's ending like this, but he was powerless. He was afraid that Zhao Kai would suffer any more, so he hurriedly said, "Kai'er, the palace has been controlled by the Liangshan soldiers."
Zhao Kai subconsciously said: "Bandits of Liangshan?"
"Bang"
Another slap, Zhao Kai fell to the ground again.
After being slapped down twice, Zhao Kai was also a little dizzy and couldn't get up at once.
Zhao Kai lay on the ground and saw the civil and military officials watching the show. Then he remembered that when he came in, these people did not flatter him as usual. Judging from Wu Song's second reaction, they should have also
It is what he called the "Bandits of Liangshan".
Zhao Kai also figured out his current situation and got up obediently. Seeing that Chao Yong, who was leading him in, had already walked to the dragon throne and sat down, he couldn't help but wonder again.
Chao Yong smiled and said, "You could have been free outside the palace for a day, but you didn't expect that you came to your door. Don't worry, when my army enters the city, your brothers will be with you."
Zhao Ji also plucked up the courage and said, "I wonder what the prince is going to deal with my Zhao family?"
Chao Yong looked at Zhao Ji and said, "What do you think?"
Zhao Ji said shamelessly: "Since ancient times, benevolent and virtuous kings will be granted the kings of the country. After Emperor Gong of Zhou abdicated the throne to Taizu, Taizu also granted him the King of Zheng."
Chao Yong smiled and said, "So you are willing to abdicate?"
"As long as you don't kill my Zhao family, I'm willing to abdicate."
Chao Yong looked at Zhao Ji and said, "You are such a foolish monarch, and I want to announce to the world and abolish your throne, rather than accepting your abdication. Perhaps killing you, the foolish monarch in public will be more popular with the people, right?"
When Zhao Ji heard this, his face changed and he hurriedly said, "Daliang has controlled Tokyo, and most of the prefectures in the world are still under the control of my Song Dynasty officials. If I abdicate to you, many prefectures should be surrendered.
Daliang.”
Zhao Ji had been fighting for a long time, but he figured it out. His princes were all in Tokyo. After Liangshan captured Tokyo, he probably could not escape. Although most of the country was still under the control of Song Dynasty officials, without the call of the royal family, it was probably also
A pile of loose sand, not to mention Chao Gai, Fang La, Tian Hu and Wang Qing robbed him. I am afraid that the Zhao family's country will end. Moreover, even if someone in the Zhao family can pacify the world, he may have become a dead person by then.
, Instead of doing that, it is better to save your own life.
Chao Yong was a little moved after hearing this, but he said in confusion: "You have become a prisoner, can officials from all over the state still listen to you?"
Zhao Ji said: "Some people may not listen to me anymore, but as long as my imperial edict is spread all over the world, even if some officials want to fight for the world, they will resist the imperial edict and cause chaos. If they lose their righteousness, other prefectures will not respond to them.
