Chapter 382 0378 [No, His Majesty ran away]

Li Gang was particularly embarrassed at this time. His official hat was missing and his hair was disheveled.

The big purple official robes were also very damaged.

Standing there now, a pair of red eyes stared at Han Zhen.

Seeing this, Xie Ding on the side sighed and advised: "Brother Bo Ji, what are you doing? The Emperor of Zhao Song Dynasty is fatuous and has lost his destiny. Brother Bo Ji has great talents and ambitions. Why not assist your majesty to stabilize the situation?" In the world, virtue will transform all peoples.”

"Pooh!"

Li Gang spat, his eyes filled with contempt.

Han Zhen slowly opened his mouth and said: "Although he is a rotten scholar, he is still loyal. Are you willing to submit to me?"

Li Gang sneered and said: "The clown dares to call himself me, he is really a crown prince!"

Hearing this, Han Zhen suddenly laughed: "This Emperor Zhao Da can do it, but I, Han Zhen, can't do it? He Zhao Da bullied the orphans and widowers of the Chai family and conquered the world, but you, a rotten scholar, turned a blind eye. I, Han Zhen, started from a humble beginning and struck down with one blow and one blow. Are you just a clown who has taken over the world?"

All we can say is that double standards do not distinguish between ancient and modern times.

"What nonsense!"

Li Gang glared angrily.

Han Zhen was too lazy to talk nonsense and waved his hand: "Since you are so loyal, then go down and accompany Zhao Da and kill him!"

"Rebel, why do you need to take action!"

Li Gang looked up to the sky and laughed, then suddenly broke away from the restraints of the Qingzhou Army and bumped his head against the stone monument on the roadside.

But there was a muffled sound and blood splattered everywhere.

Li Gang fell straight to the ground and made no sound.

"Ugh!"

Xie Ding sighed slightly, with a complicated expression on his face.

He still admired Li Gang's character, but his temperament was too strong and he would rather break than bend.

Han Zhen's eyes fell on Yao Pingzhong and asked: "How is this person?"

"He is well versed in military law and brave in battle. He is a tiger general."

Han Shizhong said and winked at Yao Pingzhong.

Han Zhen asked: "Are you willing to submit to me?"

Yao Pingzhong looked hesitant. He knew in his heart that if he dared to say no, he would die immediately.

He was not afraid of death, but Han Shizhong's words just now made him feel that it was not worth dying for Zhao and Song.

Working hard and working hard, in the end, he is no more than a stone or a beast.

No matter who it was, there would be resentment in their hearts.

In the end, Yao Pingzhong gritted his teeth and knelt on one knee: "General, I am willing to return to your Majesty's command and do whatever you want!"

"He who knows the current affairs is a hero."

Han Zhen smiled slightly and ordered: "I will give you an errand. Cooperate with Han Shizhong to collect all the forbidden troops in the inner city. At the same time, control all the emperor's relatives and officials in the inner city."

"The last general takes command!"

Han Shizhong and Yao Pingzhong both bowed in response.

The inner city has been breached!

The wealthy businessmen and high-ranking officials in the city were extremely panicked and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape from the city, but found that every city gate was guarded by the Qingzhou Army.

At the same time, groups of Qingzhou troops poured into the inner city. Under the leadership of the two guides Zhao Ting and Yao Pingzhong, they arrested the emperor's relatives and officials one by one.

……

"Oh no, the inner city has been breached!"

When the news reached the imperial city, the expressions of all the courtiers changed drastically.

Wu Min hurriedly asked: "Where is Li Gang?"

The imperial guard who reported the news replied: "Xiangong Li is supervising the battle at the Zhuque Gate Tower. Under the repeated bombardment of artillery, I am afraid that the situation is more serious than the worst."

"what!"

Sun Fu exclaimed, his whole body shaking.

Wu Min, He Li and others quickly supported him.

Just when all the ministers were panicking, Li Bangyan winked at Cai You.

Upon seeing this, Cai You immediately understood and calmly walked out of the palace.

Arriving at a secluded corner outside the palace, Cai You asked, "What's the matter?"

Li Bangyan lowered his voice and said: "The inner city is broken. What do you think Han Zhen will do with us after entering the imperial city?"

"It's better to lose money and eliminate disaster."

Cai You replied, but his confidence was obviously lacking.

"madness!"

Li Bangyan gave a soft drink and said, "Kill us and all the money will be his!"

Cai You swallowed and retorted: "There are...there are thousands of officials in the imperial city. Counting the officials of all sizes in the city, I'm afraid there are no less than five thousand. He, Han Zhen, dares to risk the disapproval of the world and kill us all." Can I kill him?"

Li Bangyan saw that he was still thinking about luck, and said with hatred: "Have you forgotten? He Han Zhen shares the world with subordinates, not scholar-bureaucrats! Besides, he doesn't have to kill them all, he only needs to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys, and kill them all." When the other officials see me and other high-ranking officials, they will naturally donate all their family assets."

hiss!

Cai You took a breath and asked in a trembling tone: "Then... what do you want?"

Yes!

Han Zhen and his subordinates share the world, so what if he kills all the officials?

In the same way, there are still people who help him govern the people.

In fact, the subordinate officials in the three provinces and six ministries wished that Han Zhen's butcher knife would be sharper and kill all the officials.

In this way, they will have a chance to succeed.

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Li Bangyan's eyes: "For the current plan, the only way is to take the lead in surrendering before Han Zhen enters the palace!"

"You want to kidnap His Majesty?"

Cai You was startled and looked at the other party in disbelief.

At this moment, he actually felt that Li Bangyan was a little strange.

Is this still the usual prodigal prime minister?

Li Bangyan said firmly: "This is the only way for us to survive!"

Cai You was a little frightened by his stare and couldn't help but swallow.

He thought he was ruthless. For the sake of power, he would stab his father in the back and even kill his own brother, but he never thought of kidnapping His Majesty.

This...this is just crazy.

Li Bangyan urged: "Time is running out. Let me tell you whether it works or not."

After coming back to his senses, Cai You said hesitantly: "But...but we don't have any soldiers. How can the imperial army and generals in the imperial city listen to our orders?" "You forgot someone!"

Li Bangyan said slightly mysteriously.

Cai You was stunned: "Who?"

Li Bangyan said word by word: "Deputy envoy of Donghemen, Doctor Wude, Liu Xi!"

"Wow!"

Cai You's eyes lit up, he slapped his thigh suddenly, then quickly covered his mouth and looked around.

Fortunately, people in the imperial city were in panic at the moment, and no one paid attention to them.

Liu Xi is Liu Qi's biological brother, and as the deputy envoy of Donghemen, he has a hundred-man forbidden army at his disposal.

Li Bangyan ordered: "I'll go find Liu Xi, and you can forge a decree to transfer all the imperial guards at the imperial city gate and the palace gate."

"it is good!"

Cai You nodded.

The two of them just did it without any hesitation. Time was really tight.

Once Han Zhen entered the imperial city, there would be nothing wrong with them.

The Imperial City of the Northern Song Dynasty was roughly divided into four levels. From the outside to the inside, they were the Imperial City Gate, the Palace Gate, the Palace Gate and the Shanghe Gate.

On the east and west sides of Wende Hall are the East and West Gate Gates.

In other words, Donghemen is next to the Great Inner Forbidden City and is only a few hundred steps away from the East Palace.

There are three envoys each in the east and west, two deputy envoys each, ten xuanzansheren, and twelve chief ministers, all of whom are served by children of Wu Xun.

The envoy is a fictitious position, in name only, but the deputy envoy is actually in charge.

The other deputy envoy of Donghemen is a descendant of the Yang family. He is not in the palace at the moment, only Liu Xi is left.

"I've met Mr. Li!"

Seeing Li Bangyan coming, Liu Xi immediately stood up to greet him.

Li Bangyan opened his mouth and said: "According to your Majesty's oral instructions, Liu Xi, the deputy envoy of Donghemen, was ordered to lead his imperial army to the East Palace to escort His Majesty out of the imperial city to break out of the siege."

"This……"

Liu Xi was stunned.

Escorting His Majesty to break out of the encirclement, such an important errand, why couldn't it be their turn to join forces with Moji.

Seeing his hesitant expression, Li Bangyan looked around and saw no one in the palace. He lowered his voice and said, "Doctor Liu, I am ready to cooperate with County Magistrate Han inside and outside to kidnap Your Majesty and open the gate of the imperial city to surrender!"

"Li Xiang, don't be joking."

Liu Xi was shocked and confused. He didn't know if Li Bangyan was here to test him. After all, he had a special status. His younger brother was a close general under Han Zhen.

Li Bangyan saw his worries, patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, I'm not trying to deceive you. I have asked Cai You to forge His Majesty's decree and transfer the imperial troops from the palace gate and the imperial city gate. After I kidnap His Majesty, I will be able to leave the imperial city smoothly immediately."

Not to mention, this plan seems simple and crude, full of loopholes, but in fact it is extremely easy to succeed.

In the past, this wouldn't be possible, but now is a special period. The inner city has been breached, and the rebels are about to attack the imperial city. People in the palace are panicked.

Cai Younai is a young master who leads the Privy Council and forges a temporary imperial edict. It is not easy.

In a desperate situation, the imperial guards had no time to review.

Seeing that Liu Xi was still hesitating, Li Bangyan advised: "Doctor Liu, your brother Liu Qi is now County Magistrate Han's confidant. If you can make great contributions, the Liu family's status will be extremely stable."

"it is good!"

Liu Xi nodded in response.

Li Bangyan was overjoyed: "It won't be too late, we will act quickly."

Soon, Liu Xi gathered a hundred forbidden troops under his command. After some coercion and inducement, he went straight to the East Palace under the leadership of Li Bangyan.

When they arrived at the East Palace, everyone was stopped by the eunuch on duty outside the palace gate: "Your Majesty said that no one will be seen, why don't you leave quickly!"

Li Bangyan said solemnly: "I came here on His Majesty's orders, you treacherous man dared to imprison His Majesty, you deserve to die!"

Imprison His Majesty?

The eunuch was stunned.

Before he could react, Liu Xi had already pulled out the sword from his waist and stabbed him hard.

puff!

The sword blade passed through his chest and the eunuch was killed on the spot.

Kicking away the eunuch's body, Liu Xi shouted: "Enter the palace and escort His Majesty out of the palace to break out!"

The Imperial Guards behind him suddenly swarmed in and broke into the East Palace.

In an instant, all the eunuchs and maids in the East Palace were slaughtered.

These people must not stay, otherwise they will die if things are revealed.

Liu Xi, holding a bloody sword in hand, and Li Bangyan quickly came to the dormitory.

"Your Majesty, Liu Xi is here."

With that said, he kicked open the palace door and strode in.

However, the next moment, Liu Xi couldn't help but be stunned.

There was no one in the dormitory, and it was too quiet.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

Li Bangyan called twice, but still no one answered.

Li Bangyan's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad premonition, and he quickly ordered: "Quickly, search the entire East Palace!"

One hundred forbidden troops searched all the rooms in the East Palace and even the wells, but still could not find Zhao Heng.

"No, His Majesty ran away!"

Li Bangyan slapped his thigh with regret on his face.

He knew it, he knew it!

The tiger father has no canine sons. If the Supreme Emperor can run away like that, how can His Majesty, as the eldest son, be so bad?

I'm afraid that His Majesty left on purpose last night and had already made up his mind to escape!

Liu Xi was also dumbfounded and asked nonchalantly: "But the internal confinement is so strict, how did your majesty escape?"

Li Bangyan sighed and said: "You know very well. When the Emperor was carrying out construction projects, he specially built several secret passages in the forbidden area to make it easier for him to go out of the palace and have fun."

"Where is the secret passage?"

Liu Xi asked.

Li Bangyan smiled bitterly and said, "How could I know that?"
