Chapter 32 Chapter Thirty-Two
Yang Hao thought to himself that he had considered Lu Duoxun very thoroughly, and let him be "forced" to enter the palace to warn the police. No matter whether he succeeds or not, he has nothing to do with his own "assassin".He, Lu Duoxun, is a learned and great Confucian, and has always been relied on by officials. At this time when the country's safety is in danger, there is no reason why he refuses to accept.
But he never expected that Lu Duoxun would break his luggage in public. In shock and anger, Yang Hao broke out of the sedan chair, broke through the encirclement with a sword, and fled into the streets.When he returned to the vicinity of Luderson's mansion, found his horse tied by the roadside, jumped on the healthy horse and drove westward, he suddenly saw two fires in the city, which were very distinct in the night.
Immediately, countless inspectors, guards, and people from the left and right of the Military Patrol Academy suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and the emergency response speed was ten times faster than when he was the dean of Huoqing.According to the fire insurance regulations he formulated at that time, once the fire broke out, the night market would be canceled immediately, and the idlers would go home immediately. As soon as Yang Hao arrived in the middle of the night, riding alone immediately stood out.
Yang Hao's goal was too obvious when he was riding alone, so he had no choice but to abandon his horse and walk along the path. Only then did he realize that Kaifeng's yamen, dibao, and Xunge Zhuangmen were infiltrating all the streets and alleys. Passing through an alley, the street in front of him was full of inspections, so Yang Hao had to hide in the alley and wait for an opportunity.
After a while, I saw a car approaching in front of me, also heading west, when it got to the front, it was stopped by several inspectors. After inspecting the torch, he suddenly became respectful, and quickly moved out of the way to let go.
Yang Hao couldn't help being moved when he saw it, when the car drove to the entrance of the alley, he gave way to the horses and coachman in front, light as a spirit ape, flashed in from behind the tall wheels, climbed under the car with his arms, and hung up up.
The wheels were rolling, and Yang Hao stuck to the bottom of the car, looking around nervously. He saw that the pedestrians on the road were gradually thinning out, and the car was often blocked. Only then did I gradually feel at ease.
At this moment, he had predicted that Zhao Kuangyin must have been killed, and Zhao Guangyi got his wish and sat on the throne of the emperor.But at this moment, he didn't have a trace of being defeated, and a rush of blood revived in his chest: "History is still going on its original path? No! Absolutely not! What should change, has changed, has not changed, I am here to change. Zhao Guangyi, he is not worthy! I must kick this scum from the throne that does not belong to him! Definitely!"
In the Long Live Hall, Empress Song cried loudly in front of her couch.She is just twenty-four years old this year, and she became a widow at a young age. The husband who loved her and loved her has passed away, and she has never given birth to a child. How will she spend the long years ahead in the silence of the palace? Just as she was crying sadly, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the hall, Empress Song immediately wiped away her tears and stood up.Although she is a girl, she has been in the middle palace for several years and has been tempered in the palace for several years. She is no longer comparable to ordinary women. She knows that this is not the time to cry. With the soldiers outside, if she is helpless and helpless, the world will change. "Ma'am." Wang Jien stepped in and bowed to salute. Empress Song hurried forward and asked, "Have Xiang Lu, Xiang Lu, and Xiang Xue come?" Wang Jien took a step back, slowly moved to the side, and said slowly: "Madam, the three prime ministers are not here, but... Jin Wang Qiansui has arrived." When Empress Song heard this, her complexion was as pale as paper, and she saw Zhao Guangyi walking in quickly, and said with tears in her eyes, "Sister-in-law, I am shocked to hear... Brother Emperor... is the funeral?" Empress Song took three steps back in shock, her eyes flicked to Wang Jien, Wang Jien bowed his head, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and there was a gloomy smell under the dim light. Empress Song shivered cleverly, knowing that the situation was over, she made a quick decision, bowed to Zhao Guangyi Fuli, and said in a sobbing voice: "Your Majesty... the funeral is over, the lives of my mother and child will be entrusted to the officials from now on." Zhao Guangyi saw that she was so knowledgeable, he was secretly happy, he turned sideways to avoid courtesy, and said with a long bow: "We are a family, we should protect the wealth and honor together, the empress is lucky!" Empress Song smiled miserably, turned back and ran to Zhao Kuangyin's bed, screamed: "Your Majesty..." and fell to the ground crying. Zhao Guangyi silently walked to the side of the couch, knelt down, didn't dare to look at the couch, just covered his face and cried loudly. Wang Jien tiptoed to his side, and said in a soft voice: "Qiantui, the emperor has already passed away. A country cannot be without a master for a day. In today's court, only Qiantui has a grand prestige, is supported by hundreds of officials and people, and can inherit great treasures. Look forward to On the Thousand Years' Day, I am mourning and changing, ascending to the throne early, so as to secure the world, don't be too sad and hurt the dragon's body." Empress Song cried even more miserably when she heard this. Zhao Guangyi wiped away his tears, stood up supported by Wang Jien, choked up and said, "How heavy is the country and the country. How can Guangyi bear such a heavy burden laid down by the emperor. But Guangyi If Yi does not bear this burden, what should the emperor do with all his heart and soul? The king knows, please order the sixth palace to go to Jifu and mourn for the late emperor. Please invite Lu Duoxun, Lu Yuqing, and Xue Juzheng to enter the palace , together with this king, to take care of the late emperor's funeral." Wang Ji'en respectfully said: "The servant obeys the order." Zhao Guangyi walked up to Empress Song who was lying on the ground crying, gently lifted her up, and said in a mournful voice: "Sister-in-law, my condolences have changed. In the early morning, when all the officials meet, the obituary of the late emperor will be announced, and the sister-in-law must take care of her phoenix body." Yes, come here, help the emperor's wife back to the palace to rest." Staring at the figure of Empress Song who turned her head back and forth, Zhao Guangyi smiled coldly, and said in a deep voice, "Chu Zhaofu, the commander of Sihu Jiejun in front of the summoning hall, came to see me." After a stick of incense, Chu Zhaofu put on his helmet and armor, and ran into the palace with sonorous footsteps. Zhao Guangyi was already waiting in the outer hall. When he saw Zhao Guangyi, Chu Zhaofu immediately cried and bowed to the ground, mourning: "The official... ..." The cry was vague, and it was unclear whether it was crying for the late emperor or worshiping the present. Zhao Guangyi stepped forward to help him up, and said with tears in his eyes: "Brother Huang died of a sudden illness, and he has already passed away. General Chu...understood?" Chu Zhaofu let out a mournful voice: "The old minister just heard about it, but he never expected that the official's body, which has always been fierce and fierce, actually..." Zhao Guangyi coughed lightly, Chu Zhaofu shook his body, and hurriedly stopped crying, Zhao Guangyi quietly said: "The emperor's brother has been suffering from chronic illnesses for a long time. Since he proclaimed himself emperor, he has been sleeping at night and restless; Handling the affairs of the state in the ground, never taking a rest, only to have a sudden illness today..." Chu Zhaofu didn't dare to lift his head, and said repeatedly: "Yes... yes..." Zhao Guangyi sighed softly, and said again: "A country cannot be without a king for a day. The first emperor died young, and the prince is not yet an adult. How can I bear to let my brother's hard work go to waste? In desperation, I reluctantly decided to take over this burden. I don't know... General Chu is willing to assist this king?" Chu Zhaofu only heard half of it, and he understood his intentions. At this moment, he dared not show any hesitation. As soon as Zhao Guangyi finished speaking, Chu Zhaofu knelt down on the ground with a bang, and said loudly: "The old minister wishes to be loyal to you!" Officials, swear to protect the Great Song Dynasty." Zhao Guangyi calmed down, and quickly helped him up and said: "The old general is loyal, I... I can trust it. Aiqing will soon recover, and the country is in the midst of employing people, so I decided to promote the old general as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council. The internal and external defenders are all subject to your restraint, without my word of mouth, they all guard the camp, and those who act arbitrarily will die." Chu Zhaofu trembled and said in a trembling voice, "Yes!" Zhao Guangyi said again: "The former emperor died, and the capital was shaken. I have drawn up an imperial decree. You will speed up the privy military order and order the Han army to stay where it is. Order the soldiers and horses of the whole country, and during the national mourning period, without my own edict and the seal of the Privy Council, no soldiers or soldiers can be mobilized, so go!" "The old minister obeys the order." Chu Zhaofu gave him a military salute, and ran out with his sword...
The car drove farther and farther away, and the pedestrians on the road became less and less. Yang Hao clung to the bottom of the car. Amidst the rumbling, he heard a sound coming from the car. Unimpeded traffic during the martial law, busy ear close to listen to the sound in the car.The voice in the car was not very loud, but it could still be heard clearly, and a man's voice said: "Tonight... seems a little unusual..." Another voice said lazily: "What do you have to do with me?" Yang Hao heard the voice of this person was somewhat familiar, but couldn't remember which one it was for a while, he got closer to him in a hurry, and heard a moment of silence in the car, the previous voice seemed to sigh, and said: "What does it have to do with us? The old ancestors have been arguing that they are not used to living in the capital and want to go back to the northwest. Speaking of which, since we arrived here, we have established a foothold and our business has grown bigger and bigger. ..." Another voice scolded: "Second brother, how do you say such a thing? Do you have to think about danger in peace, and enjoy yourself in the northwest? Once the war breaks out, it will be scorched everywhere... The old ancestor wants to go back, obviously because he misses his little sister, You also know that the ancestor loves her the most, so he is not willing to see her again, and you should never tell the ancestor that she is still alive..." "Don't say how it works, ever since I heard the news that my little sister was assassinated with that bastard and burned to death on the boat, my ancestor didn't think about food and drink, and looked haggard. Now that we know the truth, if we don't tell our ancestors, I'm afraid our ancestors will I'm about to hate Jiuquan. That's right, that bastard went to Khitan and sent back news that he was dead, which made me fearful, for fear that my ancestors would find out. God knows, he came back alive and kicking within two days. , and now I don’t know whether his lame leg is real or not, you say... is he really disabled? " It was only when Yang Hao heard this that he suddenly realized that the person sitting in the car was actually Tang Yong and Tang Wei, his second uncle and third uncle whom he had never known.They were reused by Zhao Guangyi. They dug a pond outside the west city, built warships and trained sailors for the Song Dynasty, and they were considered half of the army.Are they out of town?Then if I follow this car, I should be able to escape from this dragon's lake and tiger's lair... wrong!It's normal for the news of my resurrection to come back from the dead, but how would they know the news that Yanyan and the baby were not buried in the sea of flames?Lightning flashed in Yang Hao's heart, and after a little thought, he seemed to have realized something. Hearing a sneer from the car: "It's not that you don't know what he's doing in the northwest, lame? I think it's just a way for him to retreat. The old ancestor wants to go back to the northwest, so we have to stop him no matter what. Don't have anything to do with him anymore. The eldest lady of our Tang family has 'died' in Tang country, and our Tang family has also confiscated his letter of appointment, and has never recognized him as a son-in-law. He, Yang Hao, has nothing to do with our Tang family. The relationship is related to the life and death of the Tang family, so don't be careless." "Second brother naturally knows, speaking of it..." The wheel bumped a bit, Yang Hao didn't hear the next sentence clearly, but he was secretly startled by the conversation he had heard: "Listen to this tone, they know what I did in the northwest? Could it be that Cui Dalang still has contact with them? Or was it revealed by Li Tingfeng or someone else? Although Jisitang’s affiliation is loose, they are inextricably linked with each other. This is probably the reason why they have been able to change dynasties and remain immortal. These people can only be used, and you must not trust them and entrust them with heavy responsibilities." Just as he was thinking, Tang Sanshao said again in the car: "We are businessmen, the bigger the business, the greater the risk. If one misses, you may lose all your money and never recover. In the northwest, Even if it is to leave a bet to make money, let him toss about it. If he loses, he has nothing to do with our Tang family. If he succeeds, with Yanyan's relationship, we can also climb the road. But now, The only thing we can rely on is the big tree King Jin, hold it tight, and we can't let go easily..." Only then did Yang Hao vaguely understand the reason why they always regarded themselves as passers-by, no matter whether Yanyan lived or died, they never interacted with each other. There is no way out. They can do business by cunning, burying the way out, and keeping their family from falling. No wonder the people in Jisitang have tasted the sweetness of it, and they have always used their huge wealth to maintain close ties with the powerful regime. And you can never be tightly tied to the same warship with the other party, and if things go wrong, you will immediately find another Gao Zhier." The car crossed a bridge and turned north suddenly. Yang Hao moved to the side of the car, looked out, and found that the bridge was the Golden Girder Bridge. storefront. Yang Hao thought in his heart: "Too bad, their residence is not outside the city, and further ahead is the Dasan Bridge. Could it be that the newly built house is the Tang family's house? These two uncles are not very reliable, they know that I want to On the contrary, they pretended not to know, and only cared about clearing the relationship. If tomorrow they knew that Zhao Guangyi, the thick leg they hugged, had also reversed, it was hard to guarantee that I would not regard my "back road" as the future of the body. It is better to rely on others than to rely on oneself. For the best policy!" There was another grocery store in front, Yang Hao jumped out suddenly, rolled to avoid under the shed, the car was only shaken by his kick, the people in the car thought that the road was uneven and bumpy, but there was no People are suspicious. Yang Hao waited for the car to go far away, so he jumped up.Because it is close to the outskirts of the city, the residents have become rare, and the dense inspections in the city have completely disappeared here.Next to it is the Wengshizi Prison, and further ahead is the Capital Detention Station, where the local troops were stationed when they were dispatched to Beijing. Now it is an empty camp, very deserted. Going out of Wanshengmen ahead, you will leave Bianliang City, but Wanshengmen is usually not open, so another corner gate called Xishuimen was opened slightly south of Wanshengmen.Seeing that there was no one here, Yang Hao expected that he would escape quickly. The shock in the center of the capital had not yet reached here. It was easy to get away, so he covered his whereabouts with trees and houses all the way, and moved forward quietly. Near the bridge ahead, Yang Hao hid behind a tree, looked around, saw no movement, then flashed out from under the tree, just as he appeared, he stopped suddenly, his eyes narrowed abruptly. Suddenly, one person and only one person came out from the corner of a house in front of him. He walked slowly to the middle of the road, with his sword hidden behind his elbow, and he raised his eyes to the sky. His beard was blowing gently in the wind, like a pair of bachelors. A picture of admiring the moon at a quiet night. "You said...the way of life is in the west...or in the east?" That person spoke suddenly, and the voice was Cheng Dexuan, but Yang Hao just kept silent. Cheng Dexuan smiled softly: "I thought... the way of life is in the east, is there a safer place than the foot of the emperor? But you want to go west." Cheng Dexuan shook his head lightly: "You want to go west, you can go on your own, but you still have to win over Luo Kedi, Helong City and others, and go west with me. In the end...you won the bet, The person who wins has to be a high-ranking official, ride a fine horse, and become the lord of Luzhou, which is very glorious. But I was ruined by you and became the laughing stock of my colleagues." He sighed, lowered his head, and gently wiped Senhan's bright sword: "In the end, you finally had to go east. There is an imperial decree that you are going to come to Kaifeng to be an official. You should also leave it behind for this official." Is there a way out, isn't it? I actually have no other ideas, I just want to be the second prefect of Luzhou, and do better and better than you. But, you don't, your woman... designed to harm me , which caused me to lose my reputation once again, with nowhere to go, and returned to Bianliang shamelessly." "Originally, if you and I both worked for Jin Wang Qiansui, I would not take any personal grievances to heart. This is generally... I still know it, but... a bright future is clearly in front of us, and you ...but going west again..." Cheng Dexuan turned to Yang Hao slowly, Jianfeng pointed at him slowly, and said word by word: "This time, I bet right, you chose wrong!" Yang Hao smiled coldly, moved his eyes from side to side, and asked, "It's up to you? Where's your people?" Cheng Dexuan sneered: "My shame, I will wash it off myself. You are just a slave of a country gentry, and now you are a cripple with a broken leg. This sword of my officer can't take your life?" After Cheng Dexuan finished speaking, he leaped forward, and with strong sword energy, he aimed straight at Yang Hao's throat. Halfway through what he said, Yang Hao's eyes flashed, and when he jumped up, he drew his sword to meet him. The sound of "clank clang clang clang" can be heard endlessly. Under the moonlight, Cheng Dexuan's rabbit rises and falls. In a short while, he has already hit eight times in a row. Although Yang Hao's swordsmanship is wonderful, his legs and feet are inconvenient. On the road, his sword skills were inevitably greatly compromised, and he was almost hit by Cheng Dexuan's sword. He staggered back to the side of the road, and supported the big tree by the side of the road with one hand, only then did he stabilize his figure. Cheng Dexuan smiled triumphantly, approached step by step, and said: "I have never been able to understand, what exactly do you want? Why do you always ask for trouble? But now, I am no longer interested in knowing, the dead are A dead person, what a dead person thinks is not important anymore." He shouted loudly and stabbed with a straight sword. There was a big tree blocking the way behind Yang Hao, and his legs and feet were not flexible. He was 100% sure that this sword could penetrate Yang Hao's body, and he would be ashamed. But at this moment, when he leaped into the air triumphantly, Yang Hao suddenly moved, and the movement suddenly became more than three times faster, and he rolled to Cheng Dexuan's side like a whirlwind. It's not that Cheng Dexuan doesn't know that it's not easy for masters to vacate in the air. Once vacated, the figure can't be changed, and it is very easy to become a mass of dead meat to be slaughtered. But he never expected that Yang Hao would suddenly lose his lameness, and his movement skills were surprisingly fast. He jumped into the air and watched Yang Hao roll towards him like a whirlwind. He couldn't take any other contingency measures except hastily withdrawing his sword to block it.Before the blade was withdrawn, Yang Hao stabbed obliquely from under his left rib, piercing his heart. Yang Hao drew his sword, spurted blood, Cheng Dexuan fell to the ground, his legs went limp, before he fell, Yang Hao rolled like a whirlwind again, the stumped leg that should have been limped swung with a whimper, "Bang" The ground kicked him in the chest, Cheng Dexuan clearly felt that his sternum was broken, he spat out a mouthful of blood, his whole body was kicked up by Yang Hao, and hit the door of that family with a "boom". courtyard wall. Because the speed of his flying backwards was too fast, and the walls of the people's homes in the city were not strong, he smashed a big hole in the impact, and his body was embedded in the hole in the wall, blood gurgled from his mouth and ribs, his head hung down, Can't move. Yang Hao walked away, swift as flying, threw himself at the bridge and looked ahead, he couldn't help taking a deep breath, the westbound road was blocked, there were many figures looming ahead, Cheng Dexuan came alone as he said , but he was so jealous of himself that he ran forward alone to meet him. "Too bad, Nanya knows my relationship with Luzhou best. As soon as I escaped, they immediately thought that I was going west. I don't know how many people are waiting for me in front. Going west is dangerous. I am not the only one going this way." If you can't get away, Dong'er and the others won't be able to get away." Yang Hao's thoughts flashed, and he immediately turned and walked back. The family by the roadside was sleeping soundly, when they heard the sound of "bang", the old man felt light, the old woman got up in the dark, and shouted loudly: "You idiot, you idiot, go and have a look, what is it?" , with a loud bang, as if it crashed into our yard?" A simple and honest voice in the opposite room agreed, and the lights turned on. "Put on some clothes, here, take a rolling pin, if you steal a chicken thief, beat him hard." This is the gentle voice of the daughter-in-law.This family lives in a remote place, and some rascals often come to steal chickens and dogs, so this daughter-in-law said so. A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy of about five big and three chubby came out holding a lantern in one hand and a rolling pin in the other. He went under the courtyard wall to look at the bricks and stones on the ground, and then looked at the things stuffed in the hole in the wall in confusion. The young man put down the rolling pin, touched it with his hand, and screamed strangely. His little daughter-in-law brushed her hair with one hand, pinched the crack of the door and asked tremblingly, "Idiot, what is it?" "Butt, it's a big butt!" The second fool yelled. Yang Hao ran to the outside of the wall with his bloody long sword in his hand, and when he heard the shouts from the courtyard, he glanced at the black shadow on the wall, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "You're right, Yang's way of life is at stake now." To the east, Brother Cheng, you can go west without worry..."
In Funing Palace, Empress Song and the young prince Zhao Defang hugged each other and cried, while Princess Yongqing clenched a pair of small fists, with endless anger gushing from her tearful eyes. "Mother, daddy was killed by the second uncle! We want to avenge daddy!" "Silence!" Empress Song's complexion changed drastically, and she hurriedly got up and went to the door to have a look, then she came back, and shouted with tears streaming down her face: "Yongqing, how can you say such words casually!" "I'm not talking nonsense!" Princess Yongqing's small chest heaved sharply, and two lines of hot tears flowed down: "Anyone can lie to me, but birds can't lie to me. This parrot is used to learning tongues, and it's not that the empress knows it. He said it to me personally, it said...it said...'Now, my lord, second brother kill me!'" Hearing what she said, Yingwu immediately looked around and shouted: "Now I am the Supreme, second brother will kill me! Now I am the Supreme, second brother will kill me!" Hearing this voice, Princess Yongqing and Zhao Defang were weeping uncontrollably. Empress Song turned pale with horror, she looked at the parrot standing on her shoulder, looked around again, and suddenly picked up a piece of gauze covering her shoulders and walked over, the bird was triumphant, Empress Song suddenly put It was huddled in the gauze, regardless of its struggle, rushed to the side of the couch, lifted the quilt and stuffed it in, and then rushed forward with its body, pressing it tightly. Princess Yongqing was terrified, and shouted: "Madam, what are you doing?" She immediately rushed to snatch it. Empress Song said with tears streaming down her face: "Yongqing, this bird cannot be kept, it is the bane of our lives." Yongqing struggled and said: "Give it back to me, give it back to me, it is evidence, I want to expose him as a murderer in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty." How did Yongqing beat Empress Song? Empress Song pressed the quilt tightly, shook her head in tears and said, "It's useless, a bird, what evidence did you do? Won't people say that you taught it to say it? Now the situation is gone , talk about a bird, even if a court minister testifies, there is nothing he can do. Yongqing, you should be more sensible. From now on, you must not show any hatred or utter a word of cruelty. You, your younger brother, your elder brother, everyone's life is in his hands, do you understand? Do you understand!" Yongqing let go of his struggling fingers weakly, and sat slumped on the side of the couch. Suddenly, she jumped up again, and said with bright eyes: "Yes, big brother, and big brother, big brother is leading the army outside, you should inform big brother, I want my eldest brother to lead the troops back to the court and wipe out the rebellion." Empress Song mourned: "The entire imperial palace is now under the control of King Jin. The only thing I can control is this Funing Palace. By tomorrow, I will not be able to command even this Funing Palace." You and I, mother and son, live deep in the inner palace and have no contact with the outside world, how do you let your elder brother know?" There was a flash of light in Yongqing's eyes, and he said: "Tomorrow! Tomorrow, we will keep a vigil for our father, and all the officials will come to mourn in front of the tomb. Could it be that we still can't find a chance to meet foreign ministers?" Empress Song asked rhetorically, "Even if you can get in touch with foreign ministers, who is reliable? Who can you entrust?" When Yongqing heard it, he couldn't help but froze on the spot. After a while, she suddenly jumped up and said, "I thought of one person, Da Honglu Yang Hao. Yang Hao is a loyal minister, and he can definitely be entrusted to him." Empress Song changed her face and said, "It's absolutely impossible, he is from Nanya and belongs to your second uncle, so he is unreliable." Yongqing sneered and said, "Second Uncle is my father's brother, is it reliable?" Empress Song was stunned, and Princess Yongqing said again: "Two days ago, Zhang Ji came to complain to father, saying that he was demanding debt from the disobedient Hou, and he was beaten up by Yang Hao who happened to meet. Yang Hao is an official of the imperial court, and the disobedient Hou But Yang Hao is the monarch of another country, Yang Hao is not afraid to offend his father, seeing that Zhang Ji insulted the old master and was not ashamed of him, so he beat him up, how could he give up his loyalty and righteousness just because he was born in Nanya?" Zhao Defang also jumped up at this time: "I remember this person, he is probably reliable. He and elder brother have always been on good terms. I remember one time I went to the elder brother's house in the same car with him. When I saw a rogue taking advantage of a woman on the way, he jumped. He hit him as soon as he got out of the car, and he didn't care about official manners. This man's nature is like a fire, and he hates evil like an enemy, so he must be loyal." Empress Song was moved by what they said, but thinking about the unpredictable dangers after the failure, she hesitated and said: "Yongqing, Defang, you are still young, you don't know how powerful it is, you know, once the thing fails, then Yang Hao If you betray us backhanded, what will happen?" Yongqing puffed up his chest and said solemnly: "It's just a death! Second brother, what do you say?" Zhao Defang walked up to her, stood side by side with her, straightened his chest, clenched his little hands, his face flushed red: "Mr. Zhao, if you can kill your enemies with your hands, you will die, so why not be afraid!"
It was still dark, and there were many officials standing outside the Meridian Gate. Everyone has their own connections and their own factions. Although the news of the emperor's death has not been officially announced, they have already heard about it through their own channels. For such a big event, who can afford to sit down? Everyone is eligible to go to court Before the rooster crowed, all the officials rushed to the Meridian Gate to wait for the court. Under the mobilization of Chu Zhaofu, the newly appointed Deputy Privy Envoy, the Imperial City Guards surrounded the imperial city tightly, and densely garrisoned soldiers could be seen everywhere.The two fires in the city have been extinguished, and the Kaifeng Mansion has quickly returned to normal. They must try their best to strip themselves of any possible connection with the emperor's death last night. Therefore, the early-rising market is still very lively, and ordinary people still go to the streets to do business and shopping as usual. Occasionally, some people will talk about the two fire houses that were not serious yesterday, but no one has noticed the cold eyes in the crowd. , is watching their every move, those are the secret agents of Nan Ya. Baiguan came earlier than ever today, but today's Meridian Gate opened later than any court meeting.But none of the civil and military officials showed any signs of impatience. They stood silently under the Meridian Gate until the rising sun was about to come out, and the cornices and jade tiles on the palace walls were reflected golden. The sun has risen. At this time, an official limped towards the Meridian Gate.The officials looked at him in amazement. The officials who were facing the sun set up the awning with their hands. At the end of the imperial street, a figure jumped closer and closer to the center of a round of red sun jumping out of the ground. Only then did the officials realize that the official who arrived at the Meridian Gate on time was none other than Da Honglu Yang Hao.
In the Long Live Hall, Empress Song cried loudly in front of her couch.She is just twenty-four years old this year, and she became a widow at a young age. The husband who loved her and loved her has passed away, and she has never given birth to a child. How will she spend the long years ahead in the silence of the palace? Just as she was crying sadly, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the hall, Empress Song immediately wiped away her tears and stood up.Although she is a girl, she has been in the middle palace for several years and has been tempered in the palace for several years. She is no longer comparable to ordinary women. She knows that this is not the time to cry. With the soldiers outside, if she is helpless and helpless, the world will change. "Ma'am." Wang Jien stepped in and bowed to salute. Empress Song hurried forward and asked, "Have Xiang Lu, Xiang Lu, and Xiang Xue come?" Wang Jien took a step back, slowly moved to the side, and said slowly: "Madam, the three prime ministers are not here, but... Jin Wang Qiansui has arrived." When Empress Song heard this, her complexion was as pale as paper, and she saw Zhao Guangyi walking in quickly, and said with tears in her eyes, "Sister-in-law, I am shocked to hear... Brother Emperor... is the funeral?" Empress Song took three steps back in shock, her eyes flicked to Wang Jien, Wang Jien bowed his head, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and there was a gloomy smell under the dim light. Empress Song shivered cleverly, knowing that the situation was over, she made a quick decision, bowed to Zhao Guangyi Fuli, and said in a sobbing voice: "Your Majesty... the funeral is over, the lives of my mother and child will be entrusted to the officials from now on." Zhao Guangyi saw that she was so knowledgeable, he was secretly happy, he turned sideways to avoid courtesy, and said with a long bow: "We are a family, we should protect the wealth and honor together, the empress is lucky!" Empress Song smiled miserably, turned back and ran to Zhao Kuangyin's bed, screamed: "Your Majesty..." and fell to the ground crying. Zhao Guangyi silently walked to the side of the couch, knelt down, didn't dare to look at the couch, just covered his face and cried loudly. Wang Jien tiptoed to his side, and said in a soft voice: "Qiantui, the emperor has already passed away. A country cannot be without a master for a day. In today's court, only Qiantui has a grand prestige, is supported by hundreds of officials and people, and can inherit great treasures. Look forward to On the Thousand Years' Day, I am mourning and changing, ascending to the throne early, so as to secure the world, don't be too sad and hurt the dragon's body." Empress Song cried even more miserably when she heard this. Zhao Guangyi wiped away his tears, stood up supported by Wang Jien, choked up and said, "How heavy is the country and the country. How can Guangyi bear such a heavy burden laid down by the emperor. But Guangyi If Yi does not bear this burden, what should the emperor do with all his heart and soul? The king knows, please order the sixth palace to go to Jifu and mourn for the late emperor. Please invite Lu Duoxun, Lu Yuqing, and Xue Juzheng to enter the palace , together with this king, to take care of the late emperor's funeral." Wang Ji'en respectfully said: "The servant obeys the order." Zhao Guangyi walked up to Empress Song who was lying on the ground crying, gently lifted her up, and said in a mournful voice: "Sister-in-law, my condolences have changed. In the early morning, when all the officials meet, the obituary of the late emperor will be announced, and the sister-in-law must take care of her phoenix body." Yes, come here, help the emperor's wife back to the palace to rest." Staring at the figure of Empress Song who turned her head back and forth, Zhao Guangyi smiled coldly, and said in a deep voice, "Chu Zhaofu, the commander of Sihu Jiejun in front of the summoning hall, came to see me." After a stick of incense, Chu Zhaofu put on his helmet and armor, and ran into the palace with sonorous footsteps. Zhao Guangyi was already waiting in the outer hall. When he saw Zhao Guangyi, Chu Zhaofu immediately cried and bowed to the ground, mourning: "The official... ..." The cry was vague, and it was unclear whether it was crying for the late emperor or worshiping the present. Zhao Guangyi stepped forward to help him up, and said with tears in his eyes: "Brother Huang died of a sudden illness, and he has already passed away. General Chu...understood?" Chu Zhaofu let out a mournful voice: "The old minister just heard about it, but he never expected that the official's body, which has always been fierce and fierce, actually..." Zhao Guangyi coughed lightly, Chu Zhaofu shook his body, and hurriedly stopped crying, Zhao Guangyi quietly said: "The emperor's brother has been suffering from chronic illnesses for a long time. Since he proclaimed himself emperor, he has been sleeping at night and restless; Handling the affairs of the state in the ground, never taking a rest, only to have a sudden illness today..." Chu Zhaofu didn't dare to lift his head, and said repeatedly: "Yes... yes..." Zhao Guangyi sighed softly, and said again: "A country cannot be without a king for a day. The first emperor died young, and the prince is not yet an adult. How can I bear to let my brother's hard work go to waste? In desperation, I reluctantly decided to take over this burden. I don't know... General Chu is willing to assist this king?" Chu Zhaofu only heard half of it, and he understood his intentions. At this moment, he dared not show any hesitation. As soon as Zhao Guangyi finished speaking, Chu Zhaofu knelt down on the ground with a bang, and said loudly: "The old minister wishes to be loyal to you!" Officials, swear to protect the Great Song Dynasty." Zhao Guangyi calmed down, and quickly helped him up and said: "The old general is loyal, I... I can trust it. Aiqing will soon recover, and the country is in the midst of employing people, so I decided to promote the old general as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council. The internal and external defenders are all subject to your restraint, without my word of mouth, they all guard the camp, and those who act arbitrarily will die." Chu Zhaofu trembled and said in a trembling voice, "Yes!" Zhao Guangyi said again: "The former emperor died, and the capital was shaken. I have drawn up an imperial decree. You will speed up the privy military order and order the Han army to stay where it is. Order the soldiers and horses of the whole country, and during the national mourning period, without my own edict and the seal of the Privy Council, no soldiers or soldiers can be mobilized, so go!" "The old minister obeys the order." Chu Zhaofu gave him a military salute, and ran out with his sword...
The car drove farther and farther away, and the pedestrians on the road became less and less. Yang Hao clung to the bottom of the car. Amidst the rumbling, he heard a sound coming from the car. Unimpeded traffic during the martial law, busy ear close to listen to the sound in the car.The voice in the car was not very loud, but it could still be heard clearly, and a man's voice said: "Tonight... seems a little unusual..." Another voice said lazily: "What do you have to do with me?" Yang Hao heard the voice of this person was somewhat familiar, but couldn't remember which one it was for a while, he got closer to him in a hurry, and heard a moment of silence in the car, the previous voice seemed to sigh, and said: "What does it have to do with us? The old ancestors have been arguing that they are not used to living in the capital and want to go back to the northwest. Speaking of which, since we arrived here, we have established a foothold and our business has grown bigger and bigger. ..." Another voice scolded: "Second brother, how do you say such a thing? Do you have to think about danger in peace, and enjoy yourself in the northwest? Once the war breaks out, it will be scorched everywhere... The old ancestor wants to go back, obviously because he misses his little sister, You also know that the ancestor loves her the most, so he is not willing to see her again, and you should never tell the ancestor that she is still alive..." "Don't say how it works, ever since I heard the news that my little sister was assassinated with that bastard and burned to death on the boat, my ancestor didn't think about food and drink, and looked haggard. Now that we know the truth, if we don't tell our ancestors, I'm afraid our ancestors will I'm about to hate Jiuquan. That's right, that bastard went to Khitan and sent back news that he was dead, which made me fearful, for fear that my ancestors would find out. God knows, he came back alive and kicking within two days. , and now I don’t know whether his lame leg is real or not, you say... is he really disabled? " It was only when Yang Hao heard this that he suddenly realized that the person sitting in the car was actually Tang Yong and Tang Wei, his second uncle and third uncle whom he had never known.They were reused by Zhao Guangyi. They dug a pond outside the west city, built warships and trained sailors for the Song Dynasty, and they were considered half of the army.Are they out of town?Then if I follow this car, I should be able to escape from this dragon's lake and tiger's lair... wrong!It's normal for the news of my resurrection to come back from the dead, but how would they know the news that Yanyan and the baby were not buried in the sea of flames?Lightning flashed in Yang Hao's heart, and after a little thought, he seemed to have realized something. Hearing a sneer from the car: "It's not that you don't know what he's doing in the northwest, lame? I think it's just a way for him to retreat. The old ancestor wants to go back to the northwest, so we have to stop him no matter what. Don't have anything to do with him anymore. The eldest lady of our Tang family has 'died' in Tang country, and our Tang family has also confiscated his letter of appointment, and has never recognized him as a son-in-law. He, Yang Hao, has nothing to do with our Tang family. The relationship is related to the life and death of the Tang family, so don't be careless." "Second brother naturally knows, speaking of it..." The wheel bumped a bit, Yang Hao didn't hear the next sentence clearly, but he was secretly startled by the conversation he had heard: "Listen to this tone, they know what I did in the northwest? Could it be that Cui Dalang still has contact with them? Or was it revealed by Li Tingfeng or someone else? Although Jisitang’s affiliation is loose, they are inextricably linked with each other. This is probably the reason why they have been able to change dynasties and remain immortal. These people can only be used, and you must not trust them and entrust them with heavy responsibilities." Just as he was thinking, Tang Sanshao said again in the car: "We are businessmen, the bigger the business, the greater the risk. If one misses, you may lose all your money and never recover. In the northwest, Even if it is to leave a bet to make money, let him toss about it. If he loses, he has nothing to do with our Tang family. If he succeeds, with Yanyan's relationship, we can also climb the road. But now, The only thing we can rely on is the big tree King Jin, hold it tight, and we can't let go easily..." Only then did Yang Hao vaguely understand the reason why they always regarded themselves as passers-by, no matter whether Yanyan lived or died, they never interacted with each other. There is no way out. They can do business by cunning, burying the way out, and keeping their family from falling. No wonder the people in Jisitang have tasted the sweetness of it, and they have always used their huge wealth to maintain close ties with the powerful regime. And you can never be tightly tied to the same warship with the other party, and if things go wrong, you will immediately find another Gao Zhier." The car crossed a bridge and turned north suddenly. Yang Hao moved to the side of the car, looked out, and found that the bridge was the Golden Girder Bridge. storefront. Yang Hao thought in his heart: "Too bad, their residence is not outside the city, and further ahead is the Dasan Bridge. Could it be that the newly built house is the Tang family's house? These two uncles are not very reliable, they know that I want to On the contrary, they pretended not to know, and only cared about clearing the relationship. If tomorrow they knew that Zhao Guangyi, the thick leg they hugged, had also reversed, it was hard to guarantee that I would not regard my "back road" as the future of the body. It is better to rely on others than to rely on oneself. For the best policy!" There was another grocery store in front, Yang Hao jumped out suddenly, rolled to avoid under the shed, the car was only shaken by his kick, the people in the car thought that the road was uneven and bumpy, but there was no People are suspicious. Yang Hao waited for the car to go far away, so he jumped up.Because it is close to the outskirts of the city, the residents have become rare, and the dense inspections in the city have completely disappeared here.Next to it is the Wengshizi Prison, and further ahead is the Capital Detention Station, where the local troops were stationed when they were dispatched to Beijing. Now it is an empty camp, very deserted. Going out of Wanshengmen ahead, you will leave Bianliang City, but Wanshengmen is usually not open, so another corner gate called Xishuimen was opened slightly south of Wanshengmen.Seeing that there was no one here, Yang Hao expected that he would escape quickly. The shock in the center of the capital had not yet reached here. It was easy to get away, so he covered his whereabouts with trees and houses all the way, and moved forward quietly. Near the bridge ahead, Yang Hao hid behind a tree, looked around, saw no movement, then flashed out from under the tree, just as he appeared, he stopped suddenly, his eyes narrowed abruptly. Suddenly, one person and only one person came out from the corner of a house in front of him. He walked slowly to the middle of the road, with his sword hidden behind his elbow, and he raised his eyes to the sky. His beard was blowing gently in the wind, like a pair of bachelors. A picture of admiring the moon at a quiet night. "You said...the way of life is in the west...or in the east?" That person spoke suddenly, and the voice was Cheng Dexuan, but Yang Hao just kept silent. Cheng Dexuan smiled softly: "I thought... the way of life is in the east, is there a safer place than the foot of the emperor? But you want to go west." Cheng Dexuan shook his head lightly: "You want to go west, you can go on your own, but you still have to win over Luo Kedi, Helong City and others, and go west with me. In the end...you won the bet, The person who wins has to be a high-ranking official, ride a fine horse, and become the lord of Luzhou, which is very glorious. But I was ruined by you and became the laughing stock of my colleagues." He sighed, lowered his head, and gently wiped Senhan's bright sword: "In the end, you finally had to go east. There is an imperial decree that you are going to come to Kaifeng to be an official. You should also leave it behind for this official." Is there a way out, isn't it? I actually have no other ideas, I just want to be the second prefect of Luzhou, and do better and better than you. But, you don't, your woman... designed to harm me , which caused me to lose my reputation once again, with nowhere to go, and returned to Bianliang shamelessly." "Originally, if you and I both worked for Jin Wang Qiansui, I would not take any personal grievances to heart. This is generally... I still know it, but... a bright future is clearly in front of us, and you ...but going west again..." Cheng Dexuan turned to Yang Hao slowly, Jianfeng pointed at him slowly, and said word by word: "This time, I bet right, you chose wrong!" Yang Hao smiled coldly, moved his eyes from side to side, and asked, "It's up to you? Where's your people?" Cheng Dexuan sneered: "My shame, I will wash it off myself. You are just a slave of a country gentry, and now you are a cripple with a broken leg. This sword of my officer can't take your life?" After Cheng Dexuan finished speaking, he leaped forward, and with strong sword energy, he aimed straight at Yang Hao's throat. Halfway through what he said, Yang Hao's eyes flashed, and when he jumped up, he drew his sword to meet him. The sound of "clank clang clang clang" can be heard endlessly. Under the moonlight, Cheng Dexuan's rabbit rises and falls. In a short while, he has already hit eight times in a row. Although Yang Hao's swordsmanship is wonderful, his legs and feet are inconvenient. On the road, his sword skills were inevitably greatly compromised, and he was almost hit by Cheng Dexuan's sword. He staggered back to the side of the road, and supported the big tree by the side of the road with one hand, only then did he stabilize his figure. Cheng Dexuan smiled triumphantly, approached step by step, and said: "I have never been able to understand, what exactly do you want? Why do you always ask for trouble? But now, I am no longer interested in knowing, the dead are A dead person, what a dead person thinks is not important anymore." He shouted loudly and stabbed with a straight sword. There was a big tree blocking the way behind Yang Hao, and his legs and feet were not flexible. He was 100% sure that this sword could penetrate Yang Hao's body, and he would be ashamed. But at this moment, when he leaped into the air triumphantly, Yang Hao suddenly moved, and the movement suddenly became more than three times faster, and he rolled to Cheng Dexuan's side like a whirlwind. It's not that Cheng Dexuan doesn't know that it's not easy for masters to vacate in the air. Once vacated, the figure can't be changed, and it is very easy to become a mass of dead meat to be slaughtered. But he never expected that Yang Hao would suddenly lose his lameness, and his movement skills were surprisingly fast. He jumped into the air and watched Yang Hao roll towards him like a whirlwind. He couldn't take any other contingency measures except hastily withdrawing his sword to block it.Before the blade was withdrawn, Yang Hao stabbed obliquely from under his left rib, piercing his heart. Yang Hao drew his sword, spurted blood, Cheng Dexuan fell to the ground, his legs went limp, before he fell, Yang Hao rolled like a whirlwind again, the stumped leg that should have been limped swung with a whimper, "Bang" The ground kicked him in the chest, Cheng Dexuan clearly felt that his sternum was broken, he spat out a mouthful of blood, his whole body was kicked up by Yang Hao, and hit the door of that family with a "boom". courtyard wall. Because the speed of his flying backwards was too fast, and the walls of the people's homes in the city were not strong, he smashed a big hole in the impact, and his body was embedded in the hole in the wall, blood gurgled from his mouth and ribs, his head hung down, Can't move. Yang Hao walked away, swift as flying, threw himself at the bridge and looked ahead, he couldn't help taking a deep breath, the westbound road was blocked, there were many figures looming ahead, Cheng Dexuan came alone as he said , but he was so jealous of himself that he ran forward alone to meet him. "Too bad, Nanya knows my relationship with Luzhou best. As soon as I escaped, they immediately thought that I was going west. I don't know how many people are waiting for me in front. Going west is dangerous. I am not the only one going this way." If you can't get away, Dong'er and the others won't be able to get away." Yang Hao's thoughts flashed, and he immediately turned and walked back. The family by the roadside was sleeping soundly, when they heard the sound of "bang", the old man felt light, the old woman got up in the dark, and shouted loudly: "You idiot, you idiot, go and have a look, what is it?" , with a loud bang, as if it crashed into our yard?" A simple and honest voice in the opposite room agreed, and the lights turned on. "Put on some clothes, here, take a rolling pin, if you steal a chicken thief, beat him hard." This is the gentle voice of the daughter-in-law.This family lives in a remote place, and some rascals often come to steal chickens and dogs, so this daughter-in-law said so. A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy of about five big and three chubby came out holding a lantern in one hand and a rolling pin in the other. He went under the courtyard wall to look at the bricks and stones on the ground, and then looked at the things stuffed in the hole in the wall in confusion. The young man put down the rolling pin, touched it with his hand, and screamed strangely. His little daughter-in-law brushed her hair with one hand, pinched the crack of the door and asked tremblingly, "Idiot, what is it?" "Butt, it's a big butt!" The second fool yelled. Yang Hao ran to the outside of the wall with his bloody long sword in his hand, and when he heard the shouts from the courtyard, he glanced at the black shadow on the wall, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "You're right, Yang's way of life is at stake now." To the east, Brother Cheng, you can go west without worry..."
In Funing Palace, Empress Song and the young prince Zhao Defang hugged each other and cried, while Princess Yongqing clenched a pair of small fists, with endless anger gushing from her tearful eyes. "Mother, daddy was killed by the second uncle! We want to avenge daddy!" "Silence!" Empress Song's complexion changed drastically, and she hurriedly got up and went to the door to have a look, then she came back, and shouted with tears streaming down her face: "Yongqing, how can you say such words casually!" "I'm not talking nonsense!" Princess Yongqing's small chest heaved sharply, and two lines of hot tears flowed down: "Anyone can lie to me, but birds can't lie to me. This parrot is used to learning tongues, and it's not that the empress knows it. He said it to me personally, it said...it said...'Now, my lord, second brother kill me!'" Hearing what she said, Yingwu immediately looked around and shouted: "Now I am the Supreme, second brother will kill me! Now I am the Supreme, second brother will kill me!" Hearing this voice, Princess Yongqing and Zhao Defang were weeping uncontrollably. Empress Song turned pale with horror, she looked at the parrot standing on her shoulder, looked around again, and suddenly picked up a piece of gauze covering her shoulders and walked over, the bird was triumphant, Empress Song suddenly put It was huddled in the gauze, regardless of its struggle, rushed to the side of the couch, lifted the quilt and stuffed it in, and then rushed forward with its body, pressing it tightly. Princess Yongqing was terrified, and shouted: "Madam, what are you doing?" She immediately rushed to snatch it. Empress Song said with tears streaming down her face: "Yongqing, this bird cannot be kept, it is the bane of our lives." Yongqing struggled and said: "Give it back to me, give it back to me, it is evidence, I want to expose him as a murderer in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty." How did Yongqing beat Empress Song? Empress Song pressed the quilt tightly, shook her head in tears and said, "It's useless, a bird, what evidence did you do? Won't people say that you taught it to say it? Now the situation is gone , talk about a bird, even if a court minister testifies, there is nothing he can do. Yongqing, you should be more sensible. From now on, you must not show any hatred or utter a word of cruelty. You, your younger brother, your elder brother, everyone's life is in his hands, do you understand? Do you understand!" Yongqing let go of his struggling fingers weakly, and sat slumped on the side of the couch. Suddenly, she jumped up again, and said with bright eyes: "Yes, big brother, and big brother, big brother is leading the army outside, you should inform big brother, I want my eldest brother to lead the troops back to the court and wipe out the rebellion." Empress Song mourned: "The entire imperial palace is now under the control of King Jin. The only thing I can control is this Funing Palace. By tomorrow, I will not be able to command even this Funing Palace." You and I, mother and son, live deep in the inner palace and have no contact with the outside world, how do you let your elder brother know?" There was a flash of light in Yongqing's eyes, and he said: "Tomorrow! Tomorrow, we will keep a vigil for our father, and all the officials will come to mourn in front of the tomb. Could it be that we still can't find a chance to meet foreign ministers?" Empress Song asked rhetorically, "Even if you can get in touch with foreign ministers, who is reliable? Who can you entrust?" When Yongqing heard it, he couldn't help but froze on the spot. After a while, she suddenly jumped up and said, "I thought of one person, Da Honglu Yang Hao. Yang Hao is a loyal minister, and he can definitely be entrusted to him." Empress Song changed her face and said, "It's absolutely impossible, he is from Nanya and belongs to your second uncle, so he is unreliable." Yongqing sneered and said, "Second Uncle is my father's brother, is it reliable?" Empress Song was stunned, and Princess Yongqing said again: "Two days ago, Zhang Ji came to complain to father, saying that he was demanding debt from the disobedient Hou, and he was beaten up by Yang Hao who happened to meet. Yang Hao is an official of the imperial court, and the disobedient Hou But Yang Hao is the monarch of another country, Yang Hao is not afraid to offend his father, seeing that Zhang Ji insulted the old master and was not ashamed of him, so he beat him up, how could he give up his loyalty and righteousness just because he was born in Nanya?" Zhao Defang also jumped up at this time: "I remember this person, he is probably reliable. He and elder brother have always been on good terms. I remember one time I went to the elder brother's house in the same car with him. When I saw a rogue taking advantage of a woman on the way, he jumped. He hit him as soon as he got out of the car, and he didn't care about official manners. This man's nature is like a fire, and he hates evil like an enemy, so he must be loyal." Empress Song was moved by what they said, but thinking about the unpredictable dangers after the failure, she hesitated and said: "Yongqing, Defang, you are still young, you don't know how powerful it is, you know, once the thing fails, then Yang Hao If you betray us backhanded, what will happen?" Yongqing puffed up his chest and said solemnly: "It's just a death! Second brother, what do you say?" Zhao Defang walked up to her, stood side by side with her, straightened his chest, clenched his little hands, his face flushed red: "Mr. Zhao, if you can kill your enemies with your hands, you will die, so why not be afraid!"
It was still dark, and there were many officials standing outside the Meridian Gate. Everyone has their own connections and their own factions. Although the news of the emperor's death has not been officially announced, they have already heard about it through their own channels. For such a big event, who can afford to sit down? Everyone is eligible to go to court Before the rooster crowed, all the officials rushed to the Meridian Gate to wait for the court. Under the mobilization of Chu Zhaofu, the newly appointed Deputy Privy Envoy, the Imperial City Guards surrounded the imperial city tightly, and densely garrisoned soldiers could be seen everywhere.The two fires in the city have been extinguished, and the Kaifeng Mansion has quickly returned to normal. They must try their best to strip themselves of any possible connection with the emperor's death last night. Therefore, the early-rising market is still very lively, and ordinary people still go to the streets to do business and shopping as usual. Occasionally, some people will talk about the two fire houses that were not serious yesterday, but no one has noticed the cold eyes in the crowd. , is watching their every move, those are the secret agents of Nan Ya. Baiguan came earlier than ever today, but today's Meridian Gate opened later than any court meeting.But none of the civil and military officials showed any signs of impatience. They stood silently under the Meridian Gate until the rising sun was about to come out, and the cornices and jade tiles on the palace walls were reflected golden. The sun has risen. At this time, an official limped towards the Meridian Gate.The officials looked at him in amazement. The officials who were facing the sun set up the awning with their hands. At the end of the imperial street, a figure jumped closer and closer to the center of a round of red sun jumping out of the ground. Only then did the officials realize that the official who arrived at the Meridian Gate on time was none other than Da Honglu Yang Hao.
