Chapter 361 0358 [Korean thieves go south]

Song Huizong moved very quickly. After arranging the Zen position, he began to plan his escape.

He didn't take away any of the three thousand beauties in the harem, not even Empress Zheng, not even Pei Yueli Chang'e, who he loved so much recently.

In his opinion, there is no shortage of beauty.

When we get to the south, what beauty can’t be found?

The entire royal family only took away one King Yun, Zhao Kai.

Song Huizong still had a hand in reserve. He felt that if the capital city fell, with Zhao Kai by his side, at least the Song Dynasty could continue.

Originally, Zhao Kai was very unhappy because of Song Huizong's Zen status as prince.

Last night, he even barged into the palace to ask for an explanation, but was stopped by the Imperial Guards, to no avail.

After returning to the palace, after a night of heavy drinking, Zhao Kai became more and more angry as he thought about it, so he ran to Fanlou and called ten more sisters to accompany him.

I kept tossing until the sky was bright, and then I fell asleep.

As a result, on the second day, Zhao Kai, who was sleeping in a daze, was woken up by his cronies.

He wanted to get angry, but when he learned that his father was taking him to the south, he was immediately overjoyed.

In addition to Zhao Kai, Song Huizong also brought Tong Guan, Gao Qiu, Cai Jing and his personal eunuch Li Yan with him.

Under the escort of seven thousand victorious troops, Song Huizong left Tokyo in a mighty manner with carts of gold, silver, jewelry, calligraphy, paintings and calligraphy.

Song Huizong made up his mind to retire in the south and not return to Bianjing.

When passing the Jinshui Bridge in the outer city, the motorcade stopped in unison.

On the imperial chariot, Song Huizong frowned and said, "Why did you stop?"

Eunuch Li Yanxun reported: "Your Majesty, some people are blocking our way."

Stop a driver?

Song Huizong opened the curtains and took a look outside.

I saw a lot of people from the capital surrounded by the Jinshui Bridge, thousands of them, blocking the bridge with water.

When these people learned that he was going to hunt south, they spontaneously came to stop the emperor, hoping that the emperor would stay and lead the army to repel the foreign enemies.

Song Huizong looked unhappy and ordered: "A group of unruly people, let Tong Guan send these people away."

After that, he closed the curtains and continued to study the chess records.

After receiving his instructions, Tong Guan rode his horse to the front of the motorcade and said loudly: "Your Majesty has meditated in the throne of the Crown Prince. He is now the Supreme Emperor and does not care about government affairs. From now on, there will be a new emperor who will educate all people with virtue."

"The people sincerely request the Supreme Emperor to stay in the capital and fight against the enemy together with us."

"Your Majesty, please stay!"

"..."

The people who surrounded him spoke out one after another and tried to persuade him to stay.

It's not that Song Huizong was very popular, it was purely a matter of choosing the lesser of two evils.

Although the old Zhao family is not a good thing, after all, it has been more than a hundred years, and everyone knows the basics. But if the capital changes its owner, they will not know whether it is a human or an animal.

Therefore, the people in the city still hope that Song Huizong can stay and lead his soldiers to resist foreign enemies and defend the capital.

When Tong Guan saw that these unscrupulous people were unable to advance, he ordered: "Fire arrows!"

All the victorious troops looked at me and I looked at you, but no one dared to take action.

Tong Guan suddenly became furious: "Are you trying to resist the decree?"

After hearing this, the soldiers took out their bows and arrows and fired at the people.

For a time, screams continued at the Jinhe Bridge, and hundreds of people died under arrows.

When the other people saw it, they were frightened and felt extremely chilled in their hearts, and they immediately dispersed.

"Humph!"

Tong Guan snorted coldly, waved his hand and ordered: "Get out of the city!"

The convoy set off again, and after crossing the Jinshui Bridge, it went all the way to Bianshui Pier, where it took a treasure ship down the river and headed straight to the south of the Yangtze River.

Just after the convoy left, in less than half an hour, several horses galloped over.

The visitors were Li Bangyan and Cai You.

Li Bangyan caught a servant cleaning up the blood and asked, "Where is your Majesty?"

The officer replied: "Reporting to Prime Minister Li, your Majesty left the city half an hour ago."

Already out of town?

Li Bangyan let go of his hand, looking lost, and murmured to himself: "His Majesty does not regard me as one of his own. He would rather take Cai Jing and Gao Qiu with him than me."

He has some abilities, and he knows it very well.

Being able to secure the position of Dazai depends entirely on His Majesty's favor.

Now that His Majesty's throne has gone south and the new emperor has succeeded him, his future life may be difficult.

After Cai You came to his senses, he consoled him: "It's okay to stay in the capital. Your Majesty wants to live a happy life in the south, so you have to rely on us."

"That makes sense!"

Li Bangyan's eyes suddenly lit up.

After figuring this level out, he felt that he could do it again.

So the two mounted their horses and left.

As for the other prime minister, Bai Shizhong, he was busy presenting auspicious signs to the new emperor at the moment.

Zhao Huan liked to study Buddhism, which was completely different from Song Huizong. This was one of the reasons why Song Huizong disliked him.

I worship Taoism and suppress Buddhism, but my son likes Buddhism. Isn’t this going against me?

Everyone in the court knew about this matter.

Therefore, Bai Shizhong ordered the housekeeper to search for auspicious signs about Buddhism in the city.

In the end, the housekeeper actually found him.

In the mansion, the housekeeper handed over an exquisite wooden box and said, "Master, I accidentally discovered this thing in the Qizhen Pavilion. When I saw it, I was so shocked that I immediately spent a lot of money to buy it."

Qizhen Pavilion is a newly opened shop last year, mainly engaged in the glass business.

It is said that the background is mysterious and it is rumored to be related to Shandong Korean thieves, so no one dares to cause trouble.

Bai Shizhong opened the wooden box and found a Thousand-Armed Guanyin lying quietly inside.

Holding it in hand, as soon as the sun shines on it, it immediately reflects the gorgeous multi-colored auspicious light.

"Not bad!"

Bai Shizhong nodded, very satisfied.

After admiring it for a moment, he asked: "Is this a unique thing?"

The housekeeper lowered his voice and said, "They were originally a pair. The shopkeeper of Liulic Pavilion personally promised that there would never be a third pair in the world. After I bought it, I smashed the other one."

"This matter was handled well."

Bai Shizhong glanced at him appreciatively and asked: "This thing is exquisite, isn't it cheap?"

The butler chuckled: "It's not expensive, only 80,000 yuan for a pair."

"Well, it's really not expensive." To Bai Shizhong, this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket.

Holding the glass Guanyin in his hand, Bai Shizhong had already started thinking about how to make up a story.

Just having auspiciousness is not enough, there must be a matching story.

Only when there is a story is it called auspiciousness, otherwise it is just a rare treasure at best.

Soon, he made up the story and thought it over again and again. After realizing that there were no logical loopholes, he hurried into the palace with the auspicious signs.

……

Zhao Huan, who had just succeeded to the throne, had done nothing.

There was nothing he could do, the succession was too hasty, and he was completely unprepared.

Moreover, he has not recovered from the cold and is currently recuperating in the East Palace.

Leaning on the soft couch, Zhao Huan had not yet recovered from the shock of the morning.

At this moment, Geng Nanzhong's voice sounded: "Your Majesty, Shangshu Youcheng Bai Shizhong is asking for an audience."

Bai Shizhong?

Zhao Huan frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then ordered: "Xuan!"

He had been humiliated by Wang Fu before, but he had no grievances with Bai Shizhong.

The main reason is that this auspicious prime minister rarely makes enemies except when he is busy offering auspicious blessings to Song Huizong.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

As soon as he came in, Bai Shizhong started performing.

Zhao Huan was stunned and asked nonchalantly: "Bai Qing, why are you so happy?"

"Your Majesty has ascended the throne and the auspiciousness has descended from heaven. This is your Majesty's blessing and the blessing of the Song Dynasty!"

Bai Shizhong said, respectfully presenting the wooden box.

Zhao Huan, who had never experienced such a scene, was immediately frightened and ordered Geng Nanzhong to get the wooden box.

After opening it, I saw a glazed Thousand-Armed Guanyin lying quietly inside.

The glass is pure, with almost no bubbles visible, and it has a faint luster, which is completely different from the dull glass on the market.

Holding it in your hand, it shines brightly and brilliantly under the sunlight.

Zhao Huan was immediately fascinated.

Seeing this, Bai Shizhong was overjoyed and began to tell the story he had made up.

"Your Majesty, this Glazed Guanyin was presented by a craftsman from Tongxu Town. According to him, when he was burning lime a few days ago, a down-and-out monk suddenly came up to him and asked for alms. He saw that the monk was really pitiful, and out of kindness, he So he gave all the food he had brought to the monks."

"After the monk left, the craftsman found this Guanyin statue in the lime kiln. He was shocked and presented it to me."

Zhao Huan was stunned for a moment, half-believing and doubtful, and asked: "Where is the craftsman?"

Bai Shizhong replied: "Shang is still in Weichen's home. Your Majesty, would you like to introduce him to the palace?"

He offered so much auspiciousness to Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty and was extremely skillful in his methods. He had a group of assistants under his command, all of whom were good at acting.

"No need."

Zhao Huan waved his hand.

Regardless of whether the story is true or not, he really likes this Thousand-Armed Guanyin.

After admiring it for a moment, Zhao Huan said with a smile: "Bai Qing is interested. This auspicious orphan... I like it very much."

"As long as your majesty likes it, I will not disturb your majesty's rest. I will take my leave first."

Bai Shizhong bowed, turned and left.

After playing with the Thousand-Hand Guanyin for a while, Zhao Heng suddenly asked: "Where is my father?"

Geng Nanzhong replied: "The Emperor left the city an hour ago."

"..."

Zhao Huan was speechless for a while.

My father ran so fast. He just meditated in the morning and went south in the afternoon, leaving a mess for him.

Thinking of this, Zhao Huan felt dizzy.

……

After resting for two days, Zhao Huan, who accepted the facts, held his first court meeting after ascending the throne.

The first thing was to appoint Geng Nanzhong to the Privy Council as Privy Envoy.

He had no choice. He knew that Geng Nanzhong was not capable enough, but there was only one confidant around him who could be used. Who else could he use instead of him?

The second thing was to take revenge. He issued an edict to demote Wang Fu to the deputy envoy of the Chongxin Army and ransack his home.

Zhao Huan had a long-standing grudge against Wang Fu. When Wang Fu gained power, he even dared to scold the prince Zhao Huan loudly in the palace.

Zhao Huan complained to Song Huizong, but was scolded instead.

After Wang Fu learned about it, he harbored a grudge and secretly colluded with Zhao Kai in an attempt to depose the prince.

At this moment, Li Gang jumped out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Wang Fu has committed corruption and perverted the law. He has committed a heinous crime. I ask your Majesty to kill Wang Fu!"

Hearing this, Zhao Huan sneered in his heart.

Wang Fu is not a good guy, but Li Gang is not much better either.

Nowadays, these two people are fighting dog to dog, which is exactly what he wants.

In fact, Zhao Huan did not want to kill Wang Fu, but the ancestral precepts were there.

Moreover, he had just succeeded to the throne, with a new dynasty and a new atmosphere. He should have given amnesty to the world and showed his magnanimity, so how could he go on a killing spree.

"I second the proposal!"

"I also second the proposal!"

As soon as Li Gang finished speaking, Wu Min, Sun Fu and others jumped out to agree.

When the new king ascends the throne, it was their plan to get rid of the six thieves.

"The ancestral teachings say that we share the world with the scholar-bureaucrats. Don't mention this matter again!"

Zhao Huan pretended to scold him, but in fact he already had a plan in mind.

However, at this moment, a rapid shout came from outside the hall.

"Hebei urgent report!"

"Hurry up!"

Zhao Huan was shocked and quickly ordered.

"Your Majesty, I report that the Korean bandits divided into three groups and led their troops southward. The subordinate officials and common people in all counties and counties in Hebei killed officials and rebelled to welcome the Korean bandits into the city. Bazhou, Baozhou, Cangzhou, Dingzhou, and Hejian Prefecture fell one after another. "

"what?"

Zhao Huan looked pale.

All the officials in the palace also changed their expressions.

The fierce tiger, Han Thief, finally showed his fangs!
