The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 533 Guiding the Rebellion
But as soon as Mu Xufang showed up, Zhao Kai, who had been waiting for him for a long time, quickly walked up to him and complained, "Oh, my good brother-in-law, you are finally back!"

Mu Xu clasped his fists in a calm manner and said, "I have seen His Royal Highness King Yun."

Zhao Kai grabbed Mu Xu's arm and said in a reproachful tone, "What is brother-in-law doing, don't be too polite between you and me."

"It's not surprising that there are so many people!"

"Having said that, but we are our own family, so we should not be separated like this. I will call you brother-in-law, but you can call me brother-in-law."

Mu Xu knew that Zhao Kai wanted something from him, but he didn't take it to heart, so he went along with the situation, "What my brother-in-law said is true, then I will be disrespectful."

Zhao Kai said happily, "That's right, it should be like this between us."

The two were polite for a while, Zhao Kai saw that Mu Xu was always talking about him, but he still couldn't bear it, and asked, "Brother-in-law once said in the past, is it a joke to help me win the heir?"

"Of course it's not a joke."

Hearing that Mu Xu didn't deny it, Zhao Kai was overjoyed, but then he heard Mu Xu said again, "But this time, that time. The official was still in power at that time, everything was fine, but now the crown prince has ascended the throne, and it is decided With the orthodox title, if we do this again, I am afraid that we will be labeled as rebels and be attacked by the whole world!"

Zhao Kai has not been idle these days, he has already considered all kinds of concerns in this matter clearly, so after hearing Mu Xu's words, he first brought out the trick of fooling Zhao Fujin before, and then he believed it himself,
"I can understand my brother-in-law's scruples, but don't forget one thing, father is still an old man, as long as father is willing to stand up for me afterwards, won't he have a righteous name in his hand?"

How could Mu Xu not have thought of this?The reason why he didn't say anything was because he didn't want Zhao Kai to feel that he was too keen on this matter and make him be wary of himself afterwards.

Now that Zhao Kai took the initiative to talk about it, he no longer had any worries. After pretending to think about it, he nodded slightly and said, "If it's true what my brother-in-law said, it's not like I don't have the strength to fight. But I'm afraid that the officials may not be willing." , after all, this is a major matter related to the succession of the Song Dynasty throne."

Zhao Kai was a little speechless, in fact, this was also his worry, but Mu Xu brought it up so bluntly when he didn't want to, which made him sit up.

Just when Zhao Kai was thinking hard about what kind of words he should use next, he saw the old god Mu Xu holding up the teacup and sipping tea in his spare time. He could not help but feel moved, and asked tentatively, "I hope my brother-in-law can give me some advice." One two!"

Mu Xu put down the teacup with a smile, and asked back, "It's not too late to talk about this later, brother-in-law, why don't you tell me first, what's your plan?"

"This..." Zhao Kai hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to secretly persuade father, and then use the power of the Imperial City Secretary to force Zhao Huan to abdicate."

Mu Xu shook his head when he heard this, he thought Zhao Kai would have something new, but he didn't want to stick to the same old routine.

In the original history, after Zhao Kai learned that Zhao Ji had the intention of Zen, he led dozens of eunuchs into the palace late at night to stop it, and retreated in fear after being rejected.

It can be seen from this incident that Zhao Kai may be stronger than Zhao Huan, but in the final analysis he is still Song Huizong's second, and he doesn't have the courage to do great things at all.

He was obviously born in the royal family, but he doesn't understand the cruelty of politics. If someone is his adviser and he wholeheartedly pushes him to the top, wouldn't he be tricked by this fellow?
No matter how unbearable Zhao Huan was, he could let Zhao Kai off for Zhao Ji's sake, but the others would not be so lucky and would be punished to the end.

To tell the truth, Mu Xu has never despised the Zhao family father and son so much as at this moment. These guys are really speechless, and they are all so innocent that they are going to die.

It's okay to be weak in the face of foreign enemies, but the **** doesn't even know how to fight for power and profit, it's just extremely incompetent.

In order to achieve the unspeakable goal in his heart, Mu Xu had no choice but to go into battle in person and plan something for Zhao Kai.

"Brother-in-law, don't blame me for speaking harshly. In my opinion, if you use your method, there is no hope of seizing the throne."

Zhao Kai has been used to being praised since he was a child, how has he ever been looked down upon like this?

Therefore, upon hearing these words, he said in a rather unfriendly tone, "What is your brother-in-law's opinion, why don't you tell me and listen to it!"

"Since ancient times, there is no reason to be merciful when fighting for the throne? Besides, the crown prince has already succeeded, how can I let my brother-in-law continue to be in charge of such a crucial yamen as the Imperial City Division?"

Hearing the question Mu Xu pointed out, Zhao Kai turned pale, and finally realized that his idea was too ideal, he couldn't help being discouraged and said, "Although I am a prince, I don't hold military power, so there is no chance?"

What Mu Xu was waiting for was his words, and he immediately said in a persuasive manner, "Otherwise, this statement is wrong. Brother-in-law, think about it, even if brother-in-law is the emperor, can he always bring soldiers and horses by his side?"

Zhao Kai's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help asking, "Brother-in-law, do you mean to emulate Tang Taizong?"

Mu Xu finally smiled and replied, "Yes, that's exactly what I mean."

Next, Mu Xu talked about the specific operation, "After the third brother-in-law returns to Beijing this time, remember to be cautious in your words and deeds, and never attract the attention of the elder brother-in-law. It is best to make him feel that you are willing to accept your fate.

During this period, brother-in-law can hide an elite team in the mansion, and keep an eye on the situation in the palace. Once you find that brother-in-law has offended the emperor, then your chance will come. "

Zhao Kai heard the excitement, but Mu Xu suddenly stopped, scratching his ears and cheeks in anxiety and urged, "Then what should I do, brother-in-law, let's talk!"

"Then it's not easy. See the opportunity and go straight to the palace, force the eldest brother-in-law to abdicate, and then ask the emperor to come out to preside over the overall situation. This may be difficult for others, but it's easy when it comes to my brother-in-law. After all, your family But there is a flying pavilion that leads directly to Ouchi."

Zhao Kai was worried about gain and loss, "Will Brother Zhao order someone to dismantle the Fei Pavilion?"

Mu Xu said unhappily, "That's why I asked my brother-in-law to go back and keep a low profile, so as not to annoy him. Take a step back, so what if it's demolished? There are eight gates in the palace, and there are so many entrances to Gen Yue's side." Gatekeeper, brother-in-law, don’t tell me, you can’t even bribe one of them?”

"It's that simple?" Zhao Kai swallowed, not daring to believe it.

"It's that simple!"

Mu Xu rolled his eyes and gave an affirmative answer.

In his opinion, in terms of the difficulty of seizing the heir, the Jingkang period was completely a novice village, and there was no difficulty at all.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that the opponent is too good.

When the enemy army approached the city, he didn't want to boost morale and prepare the army for battle. Instead, he sent people to dance gods to ask the heavenly soldiers to help them out. How could he be expected to be so powerful?

Not to mention how Mu Xu complained about Zhao Huan in his heart, but Zhao Kai walked around the side hall several times after hearing Mu Xu's idea, and finally made up his mind and said, "Okay, let's do this, the first thing I will do when I return to Beijing." If there is something wrong, send the housekeeper to recruit reliable people."

"Hold on, I advise my brother-in-law to give up such thoughts."

"How to say?"

"This kind of fatal matter, how can you pretend to be someone else, if there is a little trouble, how can there be life?"

Zhao Kai was right when he thought about it, then he frowned and said, "Didn't my brother-in-law tell me to hide my strength and bide my time? If I can't do it myself, I can't send the princess there, right?"

Hearing this, Mu Xu really felt extremely tired, and couldn't help sighing, "Oh, I don't know how this guy got the first prize in the exam, why is he not on the way!"

He had no choice but to cough lightly, gave a thumbs up, and pointed at himself.

Zhao Kai was stunned for a moment, fortunately he was not stupid enough, and immediately patted his forehead and shouted, "Look at me, I forgot about my brother-in-law, my brother-in-law has many elite soldiers under his command, as long as he slips through his fingers, we can solve this problem Big problem."

"It's easy to say, I'm about to help my brother-in-law."

Mu Xu fully agreed, and then sent someone to send Shi Xiu, and ordered in front of Zhao Kai, "Shi Xiu, you pick five hundred experts from my personal guards, and bring them to Beijing in batches. Hide first and wait for King Yun's call."

Zhao Kai quickly interjected, "Don't bother, I have a farm in the suburbs of Beijing, which can accommodate more than a thousand people."

Shi Xiu looked at Mu Xu, and after seeing him nodding, he bowed to Zhao Kai and said, "Then thank you, Your Highness, I will do my best to share your worries and problems!"

"Then please, General! After the matter is accomplished, I will definitely reward you generously!"

After finishing speaking, he did not forget to promise Mu Xu, "Of course, I don't dare to forget my brother-in-law's help, and I will definitely make my brother-in-law the king of Yan at that time. If one day, my brother-in-law can recover the land of Yan from the Kingdom of Jin, the whole Youyun will be destroyed." Then it became a fief for the Mu family."

But Mu Xu said, "I'm afraid it won't work!"

Zhao Kai was startled, and said puzzled, "Brother-in-law, this is..."

Mu Xu smiled and said, "Brother, don't misunderstand me. What I want to say is that I don't need to wait so long before I can take back the land of Yan."

"Then I wish my brother-in-law invincible!"

"I also wish my brother-in-law all wishes come true!"

After all, the two laughed at the same time.

The next day, in front of all Yunzhou civil and military officials, Zhao Kai read out the decree of making Mu Xu the King of Zhongshan County in Jin Dynasty, Zhao Kai did not even want to wait for a moment, so he embarked on the road to the south with great ambition.

……

Almost when Mu Xu returned to Yunzhou, Wanyan Zongbi, who was far away in Yanjing, also received a gift, a tightly wrapped wooden box from the city gate official.

When the wooden box was opened, Wanyan Zongbi's eyes widened immediately, he slapped the desk fiercely and said, "It's unreasonable, it's too deceitful!"

Wanyan Zonghan and others who heard the movement came over to take a look, but saw a head pickled with lime inside the wooden box, who could it be if it wasn't Wanyan Loushi?

The faces of several people changed drastically, Wanyan Zongwang grabbed the city gate officer's skirt and asked, "Who sent it?"

The city gate officer tremblingly said, "Returning to the king, people who came said that he is General Lou Shi's personal soldier."

"Order him to come see this king!"

"Yes, yes, the villain will pass it on to him now."

After the gatekeeper retreated, Wanyan Zonghan sighed, "Lou Shi's family has had their heads cut off, and the [-] troops under him may be in danger."

Hearing these words, no one responded aloud, obviously the people present were unwilling to accept this fact.

I don't know how long it has passed, the announcement outside the door awakened everyone in the room, "Report to the lord, the person has arrived."

Wanyan Zongbi put away his mood and replied hoarsely, "Let him in."

As the voice fell, a soldier dressed in rags appeared in front of several people, but he looked terrified, as if he had lost his soul, and stood there after entering, not even knowing how to salute.

After all, Wanyan Loushi's trilogy is also Wanyan Zongbi's subordinates.So seeing the behavior of the person in front of him, Wanyan Zongbi suddenly felt that his face was dull, and shouted angrily, "Who is standing next, please report your name!"

The soldier trembled, as if he had just come back to his soul, he knelt down on the ground and stammered, "Xiao, Xiaoren Wu, Wu Dabu, are the personal guards of Wanyan Lou and General Lou Shi."

"Straighten your tongue and speak, or you'll cut it off and feed it to the dogs!"

Wu Dabu was so frightened that he almost peed out, and it took him a while to calm down, "The villain knows his mistakes, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Hmph! This king will know whether there is a crime or not. Come back truthfully. Where did my [-] troops go?"

Wu Dabu took a deep breath, laid his whole body on the ground, and replied cautiously, "My lord, our army, our army was wiped out, and only the villain came back."

Wanyan Zongbi's eyes darkened, and he managed to keep from falling down. For a moment, he only felt heartbroken. You must know that there are only more than [-] people in his direct lineage, and most of them went away once. How will he participate in the future? Seize the heir?

It can be said unceremoniously that Mu Xu has done Wanyan Zongbi a terrible harm this time, almost ruining his ambitions.

After a while, Wanyan Zongbi calmed down and heard him grit his teeth and say, "Mu Xu, if I, Wanyan Zongbi, don't take revenge, I swear I won't be a human being."

Compared with Wanyan Zongbi, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang were much better. They even had some gloat in their misfortune. Strictly speaking, Wanyan Zongbi was a hindrance to their path to the position of supremacy.

Wanyan Zongwang thought of his brotherhood so much that he couldn't say much, but Wanyan Zonghan didn't have any scruples. He sneered and said with a sense of guilt,
"That's great. I have a total of less than [-] Jurchen troops. This time, more than [-] people have joined. Wushu, you'd better think about how to explain it!"

How could Wanyan Zongbi fail to hear that Wanyan Zonghan's words meant to add insult to injury, and he deliberately refuted a few words, but in the end he was short of breath and could only choose to remain silent.

It was still Wanyan Zongwang who couldn't bear to see it anymore, so he helped him out and said, "Okay, instead of pursuing who is responsible, it's better to find out what happened first."

After finishing speaking, he didn't allow Yan Zonghan to speak again, so he asked Wu Da who was kneeling down, "You should tell the story of this battle from beginning to end, without missing anything."

"Yes, the villain obeyed. That day I waited under the leadership of General Lou Shi..."

After a while, after listening to the progress of the battle, several people had different expressions. Wanyan Zongbi suddenly said, "Does Mu Xu have something to tell you to bring to this king?"

Wu Dabu hesitated for a long time before saying, "The villain dare not say it."

"This king ordered you to say that if you don't, you will definitely be executed!"

"Then Mu Xu told the little one to tell the king, he said, let the king wash his neck and wait, one day he will personally behead the king."

Unexpectedly, Wanyan Zongbi was not angry, he just waved his hands and said, "Back off!"
