Water Margin people

Chapter 1229 Preparations from all parties

"King Xiu'an Xi! The ancestor worship ceremony is of great importance. In what name are we making trouble?"

Someone looked at Zhao Zicheng and asked.

"Don't worry, we are not forcing Zhao Huan to abdicate! We are trying to improve the status of our Taizong line! Give them a time limit, maybe five years or ten years. If their Taizong line still fails to make any achievements, then they should still be in our position. Taizu's lineage! Watch my lineage revive the Song Dynasty!"

Zhao Zichen said.

Zhao Zicheng's words made everyone whisper again, but they were all a little moved.

"Yes, Taizong can inherit the throne as brother, then we can also adopt the clan members to the emperor. After all, the emperor still has no heirs!"

Zhao Zixi opened his mouth and explained that they had no chance to ascend to the throne, but if someone from Taizu's lineage ascended the throne, they would still be considered to be in Taizu's position.

"Wu Guogong is absolutely right!"

Everyone clapped their hands and praised them. They were not trying to force Zhao Huan to abdicate, nor were they trying to kill all the Taizong lineage, but they were trying to fight for the Taizu lineage and bring the Song Dynasty back to its orthodoxy. After all, they were all one family. If Taizong was a If the bloodline cannot bring glory to the Great Song Dynasty, then why not return to the lineage of their great ancestor?

When everyone saw that they had reached a consensus, they all toasted happily. They were just putting pressure, not forcing him to marry. Anyway, the fault was all in Taizong's lineage. They occupied the absolute moral high ground and were in an invincible position.

Genyue.

"Father, all the uncles have also promised to support us at the ancestor worship ceremony. When the time comes, the rebellious son Zhao Huan will be ashamed!"

"Well, the scene will definitely be big then!"

Gao Qiu quickly replied with a smile.

"Father, what should we do?"

Bai Shizhong and others kept saying.

"How are you preparing for the sacrifice?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I personally sent people to arrange it!"

"Hmph, I think he is wise, so I praise him in vain!"

When Zhao Ji heard Sun Li's promise, a smile appeared on his face. He was Sun Li's boss, and he allowed Sun Li to be promoted all the way.

King Yun Zhao Kai said quickly.

"Your Majesty, we have contacted many generals, and Sun Li has also agreed that he will mobilize troops from Sanya when the time comes."

"Gao Qiu, how is your contact with people?"

Zhao Ji looked at Gao Qiu again.

Zhao Ji asked while drinking and looking at Li Bangyan in front of him.

Zhao Ji reminded him that what he cared about most was face. Worshiping ancestors was a big deal. This time all the vassal kings and clansmen from all over the country were here, so they couldn't lose face.

"Since those people have agreed, let them contribute when the time comes, but don't be too disappointed in them."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the sacrificial square is being built and will be ready soon!"

Su Wang Zhao Shu looked at Zhao Ji and asked, "The vassal king was the one they invited to deal with Zhao Huan."

Zhao Ji's voice turned cold. A few days ago, he invited Zhao Zixi and Zhao Zichen to a banquet to talk about their sons' unfilial piety and wanted to use the clan law. However, both of them avoided answering, saying that this was the family matter of the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor, and it was inconvenient for their clan brothers. say.

"When I asked them, they all refused to answer, and now they agree?"

Li Bangyan smiled and saluted, saying that since Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan broke up, Li Bangyan and others seemed to have found a life-saving straw. After the accident with Cai Jing and others, they were in panic all day long, always worried that Zhao Huan would operate on them.

Zhao Ji waved his hand and said, what he was worried about was that Zhao Huan had bribed those people. He was no longer the emperor, and he had no power in his hands. He could only promise some empty benefits to the vassal kings.

Although Zhao Ji is a foolish king, he is not a fool. He has been the emperor for many years, and he is very clear about the dispute between Taizu and Taizong. Almost all foreign vassals are from the Taizu lineage, so he cannot really believe it.

"Father, don't worry, when the time comes, all the sons and ministers will scold the unfilial person together!"

King Jing, King Ji and others also said that if the princes did not take action, then a dozen of their brothers would be enough to reprimand Zhao Huan.

"Come, let's have a drink together today!"

Zhao Ji looked at everyone raising their glasses and said, this can be regarded as taking an oath together.

In the palace, Zhao Huan was also hosting a banquet, and Wu Min, Xu Churen, Nie Chang, Li Gang, Zhong Shidao and others were all there.

Zhao Huan didn't say much. The ministers' willingness to come had already shown their attitude.

……

In a small courtyard in the inner city. Xiao Jiasui called everyone together.

"Military advisor, everything is ready!"

Shi Qian looked at Xiao Jiasui and said.

"Well, let's follow the plan. Let's seize Puli Water Gate on the Lantern Festival!"

Xiao Jiasui looked at everyone and said.

"Yes!"

Everyone spoke in unison.

After a brief discussion, everyone dispersed and disappeared into the streets of Tokyo.

On the Wuzhang River, merchant ships kept going to Tokyo.

Many water villages were set up along the Wuzhang River to connect Liangshanbo and Tokyo. According to Li Gang's order, all ships must be strictly inspected.

But since the Wuzhang River is so wide and Liangshan's ships are so big, upon inspection, the entire Wuzhang River is blocked.

"Everyone in the back, please step aside!"

The soldiers in the water village roared angrily, but his shouts had no effect. There were so many boats lined up and the whole river was in chaos.

"The goods are still waiting for them in Tokyo. Check it out quickly. What are you waiting for!"

An official yelled at the water village defenders, who had been blocked here for three days.

"These ships have not been inspected and cannot be released!"

The water village general said.

"We have His Majesty's decree. These goods must be transported to Tokyo before the Lantern Festival. Delaying the date is a capital offense!"

The officials pointed at the defenders' noses and yelled.

The defenders did not dare to answer. These goods belonged to no one else but the Ministry of Revenue and the emperor.

"You can stay with me, sir..."

The defenders were a little scared. The Lantern Festival was very important, and the Emperor also wanted to worship his ancestors. If they were delayed, they might lose their heads.

"Why are you staying behind, please open the floodgates!"

the officials roared.

The defenders were frightened and could only simply check the deck and then open the sluice to let them go.

"I didn't expect it to be so easy!"

Sun Lei was sitting in the cabin and said with a smile. He thought the water village would be difficult to live in, but he didn't expect that a petty official would easily open the water village.

"Corrupt officials are running rampant, using chicken feathers as arrows, alas!"

Wen Huanzhang sighed and said, "The Song Dynasty has become like this, and it is unnatural to live forever."

"You said that when you go to Tokyo, how do you think my appearance will be shocking enough?"

Sun Lei looked at everyone and asked with a smile.

"My brother is the Emperor of Da Qi. His appearance will definitely shock him! It will be like a god descending to earth! Xiaoxiao will be shocked!"

Chai Jin spoke excitedly, his hands trembling at the thought of being able to watch the Zhao family perish with his own eyes. Back then, Zhao Kuangyin bullied the orphans and widowers of the Chai family, and then came out in a yellow robe and took away his Chai family. Now it can be regarded as a natural cycle. , retributive displeasure.

Chai Jin even invited the memorial tablets of his Chai family ancestors this time. When the time comes, he will push those white-eyed wolves to the ground to kowtow to his Chai family ancestors.

"Brother, I'm ready. I've brought all the musicians. The whole audience will be filled with my BGM!"

Ruan Xiaoqi patted his chest and said, he remembered the BGM that Sun Lei talked about when he went to Gaotangzhou.

"Haha, Xiao Qi, you really understand me!"

Sun Lei patted Ruan Xiaoqi on the shoulder and laughed and said that the protagonist's appearance on such occasions must be accompanied by BGM.
