Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 1867: The meeting at Zhao's mansion, the establishment of the Song Dynasty
As October arrived in Cangdi, the cold autumn wind swept across the land. As two passes, they were not considered wealthy among the eighteen passes in Dacang.

The two passes were already a barren land, and when the bleak autumn wind swept over, it added a hint of desolation.

However, beyond this desolation, there is a unique ruggedness, which is unique to Zhenxi. Although it is rugged, it has its own charm.

The water in the canal connecting the inside and outside of the city was flowing slowly, and a group of white ducks flapped their webbed feet, playing and foraging in the owner's pond, making quacking sounds.

Across the water barrier, there was an endless stream of carriages and horses of various kinds, carrying different loads, shuttling around the city.

Standing on the attic of the hotel, leaning on the railing and gazing into the distance, Wang Yingkan stroked his newly grown beard in a very stylish manner, secretly comparing Zhenxi and Yejing.

In Wang Ying's opinion, in terms of the prosperity of the market and the abundance of products, the areas of these two passes are indeed far from comparable to the areas of the Four Rivers, not to mention the living standards of the people.

Compared with Yan area, these two passes are almost the same. Although they lack the boldness of Yan area, they have more unique ruggedness. They can be said to have their own merits.

Compared with the Four Rivers, the Yan area, the two passes, and the two mountains are not as economically developed as the Four Rivers, and are all relatively poor areas in Da Cang. However, the people in these areas are all very strong.

Wang Yingkan sat alone at the table and ordered the clerk to serve tea sets, prepare charcoal fire, take out the fine tea that His Majesty had given him earlier and call the servants to do it himself. The two of them sat opposite each other and tasted the tea. After two or three pots of strong tea, it became fresh water, and time passed quickly.

When on diplomatic missions abroad, in his spare time, Wang Yingkan would either appreciate the "characteristics" of each place, or enjoy himself with a cup of tea.

"Winter has gone and spring has come. I am now living in an isolated house, drinking plain tea. I wonder how long this kind of life will last." Wang Yingkan couldn't help but sigh as he thought of his previous experience as an envoy in Henan Province, with a look of boredom on his face.

This time, I’m afraid I’ll have to stay in these two places again, and I don’t know how long I’ll stay there.

The envoy who was standing nearby heard this and could not help but ask, "My Lord, we have been in Guanxi for more than half a month. Tomorrow, the Prince of Zhenxi will ascend the throne and establish a government. By then, the envoy's order will have been fulfilled. Why are you still staying here?"

Wang Yingkan was not going to let a minor official know about the secret mission he had received, so when he saw the official asking about it, he naturally wouldn't say much.

Moreover, Wang Yu did not even tell him the details, and only asked him to act on his own accord. But Wang Yingkan's keen intuition told him that the so-called enthronement of the Zhenxi Zhao family would definitely not be peaceful, and their majesty was definitely planning something.

"Could it be that the court has other secret instructions?" asked the envoy.

Wang Yingkan raised his finger and tapped him a few times, saying in a warning tone: "Since you have some guesses, you should know that there are some things that you shouldn't ask too much!"

"Yes! I have said too much! But..." Seeing this, the envoy hesitated.

"Just what?" Wang Yingkan was a little confused.

"But today I saw a large number of Zhenxi soldiers entering the city, and a large number of people from the martial arts world gathered in the city. I am afraid that tomorrow will not be peaceful!" the messenger replied.

The Zhao family of Zhenxi was about to ascend the throne and establish a dynasty, so during this period of time, there were many outsiders, including those from the surrounding forces and various schools of thought. At this time, it was normal for the Zhao family of Zhenxi to strengthen their defenses to a certain extent.

However, from the information he had obtained in the past half month, the number of troops that entered the city during this period of time reached as many as 30,000.

Adding the original troops, there are now at least 60,000 to 70,000 troops in Zhenxi City.

Moreover, it seemed that the Zhenxi garrison camp outside the city had also been on alert, and there were obviously many more checkpoints at various intersections than usual.

It is definitely not a normal thing for so many gangsters to gather together.

"Okay! No matter what happens tomorrow, it has nothing to do with you and me!" Wang Yingkan shook his head.

Of course he knew what would happen tomorrow. He even guessed that their Majesty must be behind it, at least one of them.

However, no matter what happens tomorrow, the two of them are only here to watch. Apart from that, they don't need to participate in other things tomorrow, nor are they qualified to participate.

However, when thinking about what would happen tomorrow, Wang Yingkan frowned deeply.

When he was leaving, His Majesty did not say it explicitly, but he told him that when Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, he would naturally know what to do.

However, Wang Yingkan was a little uncomfortable with not knowing anything and could only passively wait for the answer. Therefore, he fell silent, with a doubtful look on his face, as if he was thinking about his next plan.

At this time, the envoy asked with a flattering smile: "My Lord, this guest house is very boring. Would you like me to make some arrangements to entertain you?"

The envoy had heard of some of Wang Yingkan's habits.

Wang Yingkan is a talented man who loves to recite poems and compose essays, loves wine, and loves romance even more.

Rumor has it that the first time Your Majesty met this gentleman was in a brothel, but I don’t know whether it’s true or not!
However, this attendant had been following Wang Yingkan for quite a long time, and had seen Wang Yingkan going to such places to taste wine and beautiful women several times.

Wang Yingkan's unrestrained and uninhibited style was unique among the many officials in the court.

“Hmm?” Wang Yingkan was perked up when he heard that. He noticed the man’s flattering smile and was tempted, but he gritted his teeth and waved his hands repeatedly: “No! No! No!”

I’m afraid something big will happen tomorrow, so today, just be patient for now!
However, I have always heard that the women in these two places are unique, so I'd better go and experience them again in a few days!

When Wang Yingkan was extremely hungry and thirsty, Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Pu and Xie Guanying, the emperor and his ministers, gathered together at the Zhenxi Zhao Mansion.

Among the four strategists of Zhenxi, Zhao Kuangyin trusted Zhao Pu and Xie Guanying more. After all, Zhao Pu and Xie Guanying were just his people, while Chu Zhaoye and Han Chongming were not only his people, but also his father's people.

"The people from Longhu Mountain have arrived. They are Zhang Daoling, Zhang Jiwei, and Zhang Xuanchu." Zhao Kuangyin coughed heavily to attract the attention of his two trusted advisers, then he spoke slowly.

And from Zhao Kuangyin's words, it was obvious that the people of Longhu Mountain had been clearly exposed to the eyes of the Zhenxi Army.

This time, it is still unknown whether the other people with ulterior motives from various forces have been exposed. At least, these three people from Longhu Mountain have entered Zhao Kuangyin's sight. For Zhao Kuangyin, there are no more secrets.

The people from Longhu Mountain came this time to cause trouble. Of course, they couldn't come openly, but must have come secretly.

But as soon as the talent arrived, the situation was already known to others. If the people of Longhu Mountain, or other people with speculative intentions knew about it, I'm afraid they would definitely be unable to sit still at this time.

Zhao Kuangyin was able to find out the truth about Longhu Mountain so easily. It was most likely that there was a problem inside Longhu Mountain!
"My lord, although we have made all the necessary preparations, should we let Uncle Gongming return as well to prevent any unexpected events?" Zhao Pu said with some concern.

Now, although Zhao Kuangyin is ready to ascend the throne and become emperor, at least he has not yet officially gone through the ceremony. Therefore, they still address Zhao Kuangyin as Lord, not His Majesty.

Zhao Gongming is one generation older than Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu.

Although, in the past few days, 30,000 soldiers have been mobilized from the garrison camp outside the city into the city, a large number of soldiers have gathered in the city now.

However, if someone causes trouble tomorrow, it will definitely be a master.

Although they had a large number of soldiers and horses, they were unable to display their abilities in the environment inside the city.

Zhao Pu was not afraid that someone would have the ability to turn the world upside down tomorrow. He was only afraid that if the chaos could not be suppressed quickly tomorrow, Zhao Kuangyin's coronation ceremony would be somewhat tarnished.

When Huangfu Mingze ascended the throne, the old emperor and a group of masters broke into the palace and even beat him in front of Huangfu Mingze himself. Therefore, when people mentioned Huangfu Mingze, the emperor, they often had a sarcastic tone!
On the day he ascended the throne, he was attacked by someone who wanted to kill him. This was just like stepping on him hard.

Therefore, according to Zhao Pu's idea, just in case, it would be better to let Zhao Gongming participate tomorrow. If someone with ulterior motives really appeared, a group of heavenly masters, together with the generals of Zhenxi Prefecture, would quickly suppress them with absolute strength.

After all, with Zhao Gongming's strength in the late stage of the Ming Dynasty.

Among the many celestial-level masters related to Zhenxi Prefecture, no one has really reached such a realm.

No matter whether it was the old celestial being of the Zhao family, or Zhao Huangchao who had returned from Mount Longhu, or Xie Guanying beside him, none of them could compare to Zhao Gongming. The three of them were all just in the early stage of celestial being.

Even if all the generals from Zhenxi Prefecture were added, only Xuanwu could compete with him.

As for the rest, even if Gao Chong faced Zhao Gongming, he would still be inferior to him.

In this world, if a general is not a true general, he still lacks some foundation.

It’s a pity that although there are some divine generals in this world, there are very few who can be considered true divine generals.

Zhao Gongming was also transferred secretly. In this way, even if someone really showed up tomorrow, it might not only not affect tomorrow's coronation ceremony, but also, if the Gordian knot could be cut quickly and suppressed as quickly as possible, it would also be able to fully establish the majesty of the Song Dynasty that was about to be established.

"No need. There is no need to expose Uncle Gongming's identity for the time being!" After thinking about it, Zhao Kuangyin finally shook his head.

This time, they have made sufficient preparations, and they are still within Zhenxi City, so it is better not to expose Zhao Gongming if possible.

Even after that incident was over, Zhao Gongming did not enter Zhenxi City, but temporarily hid in a small town around Zhenxi City.

"Are you ready for tomorrow's affairs?" Zhao Kuangyin turned his head and looked at Xie Guanying's position.

"Don't worry, my lord!"

"After tomorrow, I will make sure that the Huangfu family proves the truth of that matter!" Xie Guanying felt a chill in his heart when he heard Zhao Kuangyin's question.

For that matter, Zhao Kuangyin even took action against people of the same clan on the day he ascended the throne.

However, if we don't do this, how can we connect this matter to the Huangfu family? How can we prevent people from suspecting them at all!
Moreover, Zhao Kuangyin's ruthless methods made him a worthy leader for Xie Guanying to serve.

Since ancient times, how many people who have been able to achieve supreme achievements were not cruel and ruthless?
Especially in the royal family, or in the process of becoming an emperor, ruthlessness is almost an indispensable factor.

In the past, Emperor Jingdi of Han forced his own son Liu Rong to commit suicide, Emperor Gaozong ordered Li Zhong to be executed, and later Emperor Kangxi abolished the crown prince and imprisoned him in the clan house. As for Li Shimin, who was involved in the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and Yang Jian, who seized the throne from his grandson, they are even more well-known.

In front of the throne, even family affection is meaningless!
Rulers who are not ruthless enough will rarely have a good ending!
In the face of power, human nature is distorted, and one cannot be merciful in many cases. Many people have lost their lives and their countries have been destroyed due to kindness, such as Fu Jian, the king of the Former Qin Dynasty, who treated Murong Chui and other nobles of enemy countries kindly. After the Battle of Feishui, these nobles soon rebelled.

Hearing what the two said, Zhao Pu frowned, not knowing what the two were talking about.

For some things, Zhao Kuangyin only entrusted Xie Guanying to do them, and did not reveal them to anyone else.

It’s not that he didn’t trust Zhao Pu, but, for any secret, the more people knew it, the greater the risk of it being revealed.

After making some simple arrangements for tomorrow's affairs, Zhao Kuangyin asked the other two to leave temporarily. He looked at their backs as they left, and he was the only one left in the room.

Zhao Kuangyin leaned slightly against the back of the chair. In the room where no one was except him, he frowned slightly. For some reason, although he had made preparations, he still had some ominous premonitions when he thought about tomorrow's events.

The gloomy night passed quickly. Zhao Kuangyin simply washed up with the help of several maids, and walked out of Zhenxi Mansion in high spirits.

Last night, Zhao Kuangyin didn't sleep well. Perhaps it was because of the excitement of becoming emperor, or perhaps it was because of the inexplicable bad premonition.

However, thinking about what was about to happen, he was still extremely excited and full of fighting spirit.

Think about him, Zhao Kuangyin, who had been lurking in this chaotic world for so many years. For this reason, when the matter was exposed, he did not hesitate to take the risk of wearing the imperial robe, thus solving the biggest crisis at that time and taking a crucial step.

After that, after so many years and countless hardships, we finally got to where we are today.

Facing the rising sun, the sunlight shone on Zhao Kuangyin's body, making his figure look particularly tall.
