Chapter 380 0376 [Fairy Emperor]

Geng Nanzhong hesitated for a moment and was about to speak when he saw the eunuch waved his hand in disgust: "Leave quickly and don't disturb His Majesty's peace!"

"Wei Chen resigns!"

Geng Nanzhong cupped his hands toward the East Palace, sighed, and turned to leave.

Ugh!

Your Majesty has done you evil after all.

Returning to the main hall, a group of courtiers immediately came to greet him.

Sun Fu asked: "How is it?"

"Your Majesty is missing."

Geng Nanzhong smiled bitterly.

Wu Min frowned: "This... what should I do?"

Now that the outer city has been breached and the city of Tokyo is in danger, His Majesty has actually become the boss...

There is no hope of escaping now. We can only hope that Li Gang will hold on to the inner city.

……

The cry of killing lasted almost all night, and people in Tokyo hid in their homes and shivered.

Every loud explosion of firearms and field artillery made the people's hearts tremble.

As dawn broke, the shouts of death finally subsided.

The gate of Nanxun Gate was opened from the inside. Qiu Niu and others led a group of Qingzhou troops and lined up neatly on both sides of the gate.

Da da da!

The crisp sound of horse hooves reached everyone's ears.

Han Zhen rode on a war horse, crossed the city gate, and stepped on the imperial street.

Behind him were Shi Wenhui, Xie Ding and Zhao Ting, as well as Lao Jiu and other personal guards.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

Qiu Niu and his soldiers all bowed.

This was his first time stepping into the city of Tokyo, but he did so as a conqueror.

There are row upon row of shops on both sides of the Royal Street, with no end as far as the eye can see.

Han Zhen couldn't help but marvel. The outer city was so prosperous, but what about the inner city?

It is indeed the city of Tokyo, one of the most prosperous cities in the world.

Withdrawing his gaze, Han Zhen looked at Qiu Niu and others aside, and said with a smile: "You did a good job in this matter, I will mark your contribution!"

Qiu Niu replied with a sad face: "Your Majesty, I didn't do it."

How could he not be sad that all his great achievements were gone?

According to the original plan, after spreading the rumors, he would then use the technique of crowing cocks and dog thieves to create several strange things, and then incite the people, create chaos, and work together to capture the city of Tokyo.

If he succeeds, he will never be able to escape the position of brigade commander.

As a result, before he could take action, the city gate opened by itself.

The brigade commander who got it is gone too.

Han Zhen raised his eyebrows and said slightly surprised: "You didn't do it?"

"No."

Qiu Niu shook his head.

In the Qingzhou Army, it is a serious crime to falsely claim military merit. Once found out, you will be executed according to law.

Han Zhen asked: "Who did that?"

Qiu Niu answered truthfully: "According to Brigadier Yue, a rogue named Qin San'er led thousands of refugees to open the city gate. Qin San'er was hit by an arrow in the abdomen and is still being treated in the military camp."

A rogue led thousands of refugees and opened the city gate?

For a moment, Han Zhen was in a daze.

To him, Zhao and Song were an absurd dynasty.

The absurd emperor, the absurd ministers, and even the people of Tokyo City are extremely absurd.

It seems reasonable that such an absurd dynasty was conquered in Kyoto in such an absurd way.

After coming back to his senses, Han Zhen sighed: "There are also heroes in the market. Order the military doctors to treat them with all their strength. Don't let the righteous men feel cold!"

Last night Yue Fei had ordered military doctors to treat him with all his strength, but Qin Ming was already weak and had lost too much blood. Whether he could survive it all depended on God's will.

Han Zhen asked again: "Where are Yue Fei and Han Shizhong now?"

Qiu Niu replied: "Brigadier Yue is reorganizing the Song army and arresting officials and relatives of the Zhao and Song emperors. Brigadier Han is leading his troops to besiege the inner city."

Han Zhen ordered: "Tell the people in the city not to panic, and at the same time let the grain merchants in the outer city open their shops. The prices must be 30% lower than the previous market price."

Qiu Niu frowned and said, "I'm afraid those grain merchants won't agree."

"Don't agree?"

Han Zhen chuckled and said meaningfully: "If they are not decent, you will help them be decent!"

"The last general takes command!"

Qiu Niu responded loudly and immediately led his men to the rice shops in various places in the outer city.

"Let's go and see the prosperity of Tokyo city with me."

Han Zhen gently pinched the horse's belly with his legs, and the horse immediately moved its hooves obediently and walked along the imperial street.

The faces of Zhao Ting and the others were filled with emotion, and their eyes were full of excitement.

Imperial Street is the widest street in Tokyo. It is only 40 meters wide. It is paved with bluestone slabs. It is specially used by the emperor when he inspects the capital and handles government affairs. Ordinary people and civil and military officials are not allowed to pass at will. Violators will be punished as serious crimes.

It is only open to the public during festivals.

During the New Year and festivals, both sides of the imperial street are lined with stalls, stretching for four or five miles, filled with tourists and extremely bustling.

Han Zhen was riding on his horse, looking at both sides of the street with great interest. Chejia Tan, Zhangjia Hotel, Wanglou Cave Plum Blossom Buns, Lijia Xiang Shop, Cao Granny Meat Pie, Li Sifen Tea...

However, today's shops have their doors and windows closed, looking depressed.

Stopping his horse, Han Zhen pointed to the signboard of a shop and said, "Wanglou Cave Plum Blossom Buns, seems to be very famous?"

In his previous life, he had dined on the first floor of Kaifeng, and the signature dish was plum-blossom buns, which was said to be from the Northern Song Dynasty, so he remembered it deeply.

Zhao Ting immediately replied: "Your Majesty, you don't know. This Wanglou is one of the 72 main restaurants in Tokyo. Its signature is the cave plum blossom buns, which is known as the best in Beijing."

Han Zhen chuckled and said: "Being the first in the capital is such a big statement." Xie Ding on the side agreed: "Wanglou's plum blossom buns are truly outstanding, delicious and sweet. Your Majesty, if you have time, you can come here to try them. "

"Where is Fan Lou?"

Han Zhen asked curiously.

Zhao Ting replied: "Your Majesty, Fan Tower is located in Jingmingfang outside Donghua Gate, only three streets away from the Imperial City."

Han Zhen asked again: "Who is the owner of Fan Tower?"

He has always been curious about this.

Shi Wenhui said: "It is said that he is a businessman named Fan."

"No and no."

However, Zhao Ting shook his head and said, "This Fan Louzhu belongs to the Emperor Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty."

"Zhao Ji?"

Han Zhen was slightly surprised.

"Your Majesty, you don't know something. This Fanlou was originally called the Alumen Building, and it was a place that sold alumen. Later, as the number of customers increased, it gradually turned into a restaurant."

Zhao Ting paused and continued: "In the early days, Fan Lou was inconspicuous and not well-known. It was not until Zhao Ji succeeded to the throne that it expanded aggressively, eventually becoming the first of the seventy-two main stores in the capital. Taking over Fan Lou was to It's convenient for Zhao Ji, the foolish king, to look for flowers and willows. As for the merchant surnamed Fan, it's just a cover-up."

Shi Wenhui shook his head and said with a smile: "You are really a fool!"

After crossing the Longjin Bridge on the Cai River, there are a large number of B&Bs on both sides.

As far as the eye can see, there is no unused space. It is worthy of being a valuable land.

Suddenly, hundreds of people poured out of the residential alleys on both sides of the imperial street.

The expressions of Lao Jiu and other personal guards changed slightly, and they mounted their horses and stepped forward to protect Han Zhen.

The common people came to both sides of the Imperial Street and knelt on the ground one after another, kowtowing and chanting: "Greetings to the True Lord Erlang, Grandpa Erlang bless you!"

Seeing this, Zhao Ting and the other three looked surprised.

After regaining his composure, Zhao Ting immediately sent a flattery: "The common people can see His Majesty's holy face, as if seeing a god. I congratulate Your Majesty."

"(Wei) Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

Shi Wenhui and Xie Ding also echoed in unison.

How could they not know that there must be a reason for this, but it would be beneficial without any harm, so they were happy to pretend to be stupid for a while.

Han Zhen had already known the rumors about Erlang's prophecy.

What surprised him was that these people seemed to really regard him as Erlang Shen.

"Go back."

Han Zhen waved his hand, and Lao Jiu and other personal guards immediately dispersed.

After setting up his horse and arriving in front of the people, Han Zhen asked condescendingly: "Why do you worship me?"

All the people raised their heads when they heard the sound, and upon seeing it, their hearts were shaken.

I saw that Han Zhen was handsome and heroic, wearing black armor with gold dragon patterns, which made him even more domineering. He was holding a black horse spear, which actually looked somewhat similar to the statue of Zhenjun Erlang in Baoshen Temple.

In the sky behind him, a scorching sun hung, dazzling.

Under the background, it is even more powerful.

Luo Manger said with an excited expression: "We are all believers in Baoshen Guan. Grandpa Erlang Zhenjun has descended to earth and came to the capital, so naturally we will come to pay homage."

Mang'er means shepherd boy. Taking the name of a shepherd boy indicates that his family background is average.

At first, Luo Man'er's belief in Erlang Shen was not devout. The main reason why he went to Baoshen Temple to worship was because Baoshen Temple was different from Buddhist and Taoist temples. When worshiping, he did not need to pay incense money or tribute, and he only had to bow and bow. That’s it.

It costs money to go to temples and Taoist temples, so why don’t I believe in Grandpa Erlang?

This is the reason why most believers of Baoshen Temple worshiped in the first place.

The more people worshiped, the more they gradually began to believe it. Especially recently, with the help of Qiu Niu and others, the prophecy of Erlang God has become more and more popular, and strange things happen frequently. Luo Manner has become a loyal believer of Erlang God.

Han Zhen corrected him: "I am not some Erlang Zhenjun, just go back."

"We understand."

All the believers nodded hurriedly, but it was clear from their looks that they didn't listen at all.

When they returned to the alley, a group of people immediately gathered around and asked all kinds of questions.

"How about it?"

"Can you see clearly?"

"Is it really true that Lord Erlang descended to earth?"

Luo Man'er nodded excitedly and said, "It's really Grandpa Erlang who descended to earth. I just saw it. It's exactly the same as the statue in Baoshen Temple."

Wow!

As soon as these words came out, the people who gathered around suddenly burst into an uproar.

At this time, a believer retorted in a low voice: "But just now he clearly said that he was not."

Luo Man'er suddenly became unhappy and scolded: "You know very well. When gods come to earth, they naturally don't remember the past."

"Makes sense!"

All the people nodded in agreement.

……

……

After sending away the people, Han Zhen continued to march forward.

Zhao Ting and Xie Ding acted as tour guides, one on the left and one on the right responsible for explaining.

Sometimes an inconspicuous tree or a dilapidated stone archway can lead to an allusion.

Not long after, the tower of Zhuque Gate appeared in sight.

At this moment, the city tower was filled with Forbidden soldiers, all of them looking terrified.

Thousands of Qingzhou troops surrounded but did not attack, apparently waiting for siege equipment and Yue Fei to reorganize the Song army.

Although the inner city wall is also strong, it is not as good as the outer city in terms of height, thickness, or urn city.

Combined with firearms and siege cannons, it can be taken down in one go.
