Great Zhou Empire: Kill Zhao Kuangyin at the beginning

Chapter 11: Rewarding the Heroes
When Zhang Yongde saw Chai Zongxun's words, he didn't look like a 7-year-old child. Hearing him call him "uncle", he couldn't help being surprised, happy and moved.

Zhang Yongde hurriedly saluted again and said:

"Your Majesty has betrayed me!
Although His Majesty is young, he can eliminate huge evildoers with his own hands and display his heroic spirit without making a sound, even more than Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

I am the emperor's consort, and I dare not obey His Majesty's orders, but do my best and die! "

Chai Zongxun laughed continuously and said:
"Okay! I know Zhang Aiqing's loyalty!
Zhang Aiqing quickly led his troops to clean up the remnants of Zhao Ni in the Forbidden Army, replaced them with reliable sergeants, and ransacked all the courtiers in the court who had collaborated with Zhao Ni and took them into custody, awaiting my judgment!

Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy! "

After Zhang Yongde responded with a loud voice, he withdrew from the hall to make arrangements.

For a while, there was a clamor inside and outside the palace of Zhou soldiers arresting Zhao Kuangyin's party. It took two days for the chaos in the palace and Bianjing to completely stop.

That night, when Chai Zongxun returned to his palace, the Qingshou Hall, he completely released himself from the extreme tension. He screamed and danced for a long time, startling the two personal maids Wan'er and Zhu'er, and they hurriedly greeted Chai Zongxun.

Chai Zongxun was so excited that he hugged the two girls and became dishonest, making Wan'er and Zhu'er blush.

Unfortunately, I didn't react at all, and then I remembered that I was still young, so I had no choice but to give up.

In the next two days, Zhao Kuangyin and his party counted more than 100 middle and low-level generals of the Forbidden Army and the German Returned Army, such as Gao Huaide, Zhang Lingduo, Wang Shenqi, Wang Yansheng, Murong Yanzhao and others, who were killed by the traitor family. The number was more than 30,000. Public.

After Zhao Kuangyi's home was surrounded by troops led by Li Chongjin in the early morning of the 26th, he immediately knew that the situation was over, so he was the first to surrender to Li Chongjin, and told many secrets of the Zhao party, hoping to absolve himself of his guilt, which greatly facilitated Chai Zongxun. One party eliminates Zhao's gangsters hidden in the army.

After Li Chongjin met with Empress Dowager Fu and Chai Zongxun, Empress Dowager Fu said that she would not kill Zhao Kuangyi for the time being. After thinking about it for a long time, Chai Zongxun ordered that Zhao Kuangyi be spared his life and be temporarily imprisoned.

In the Zhao Kuangyin case, more than 7,000 people were imprisoned.

The confiscated property amounted to more than 12 million taels of silver and more than 1 million acres of farmland.

Known as the "Bianjing Incident" in history, it was the beginning of Zhou Shizu Chai Zongxun's pro-government at the age of 7.

Two days later, at noon on November 28, the sixth year of Xiande, after lunch, Chai Zongxun, escorted by Tang Qi, the eunuch in charge of the palace, and the Imperial Army, went to the Royal Hospital of the palace to visit Han Tong, Zhang Yong and others.

After Han Tong's arm was cut off by Zhao Kuangyin that day, several imperial doctors tried their best to save him, and he survived due to his extraordinary strong physique. However, his right arm was completely amputated, leaving him with one arm.

Among the twenty young martial arts practitioners in the Xingwu Hall, except for Zhang Yong and six others, fourteen of them died under Zhao Kuangyin's fists, feet, and swords.

When Chai Zongxun walked into the first inner room on the left side of the Taiyuan Hospital, he saw Han Tong lying on a big bed with a face as white as paper, and the broken arm on his right shoulder had been heavily wrapped with medicine and gauze.

Seeing Chai Zongxun walk in, Han Tong held the edge of the bed with his left hand, struggled to get up and knelt on the ground, and bowed to Chai Zongxun.

Chai Zongxun quickly took a few steps forward, stretched out his hands to help Han Tong, and said:
"Han Aiqing, please get up quickly!

In this battle to kill Zhao Ni in the Xingwu Palace, Han Aiqing was not afraid of life and death and wounded Zhao Ni first. She is my number one hero of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

I have decided to promote Aiqing to be the inspector in front of the palace, to be named "Marquis of Baoguo", and to command the imperial army for me!

I hope Aiqing will recover soon and take office. "

After decades of turbulent conquests in the Five Dynasties, they learned the lessons of the separatist vassal towns in the Tang Dynasty, and gradually formed a situation where the Forbidden Army was the largest in the country in terms of both numbers and combat power.

After Zhou Shizong Chai Rong became emperor, in order to prevent one family from becoming dominant and threatening the emperor's power, he divided the imperial army into two systems, namely the Palace Department and the Guard Department.

The Palace Front Department is under the jurisdiction of the Iron Cavalry Army and the Crane Control Army, and the Guard Department is under the jurisdiction of the Long Jie Army and Hu Jie Army.

Among them, the Iron Cavalry Army and Long Jie Army are cavalry units, while the Crane Control Army and Hu Jie Army are infantry units. These four main forces totaled more than 4 people, which was the elite force of the army of the Later Zhou Dynasty.

The Long Jie Army and the Iron Cavalry Army are cavalry, and each army has more than 1 people. The Crane Control Army has the largest number of troops, reaching more than 4, while the Hujie Army has slightly less troops, about 4.

Among the four main armies, the Crane Control Army has the strongest combat effectiveness and the largest number of troops. Li Chongjin and other governors from various states outside the capital had a total strength of about 4.

This formed a pattern in which the central army of the imperial court overwhelmed the local armies.

In Chai Zongxun's mind, he planned to recruit three elite armies that were related to the stability of the throne:

The front division of the palace, the imperial guard army, and the Songzhou returned army guarding Bianjing were led by Han Tong, Zhang Yongde, and Li Chongjin respectively. The three of them formed a mutual restraint force.

When Han Tong heard this, he was very grateful and said in a hoarse voice:

"I have received great kindness from the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I am still treated with courtesy by His Majesty. I do not mind my incomplete body. I and my family will be grateful from generation to generation!"

Chai Zongxun took Han Tong's left hand, sat beside the bed together, and chatted with Han Tong for a while with a smile.

Han Tong, who is nearly fifty years old, is respectfully accompanying the 7-year-old Emperor Chai Zongxun to respond. This situation has its own humor, but everyone standing around is solemn.

Chai Zongxun was amused:
"My majesty today is far greater than that of the ten-year-old "Female General of the Universe" in my previous life!

It seems that after killing Zhao Kuangyin, my prestige has been greatly enhanced. After all, I am the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. "

After a while, Chai Zongxun asked Han Tong to take good care of his injuries, then he left the room and walked into the second inner room as he respectfully saw him off.

Zhang Yong, who was recuperating here, and the other six surviving young martial arts practitioners were already standing respectfully beside the bed, and bowed to Chai Zongxun when they saw him coming in.

"Welcome to your majesty! Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!"

Chai Zongxun raised his hands and said:

"Everyone who loves me is safe!
You all disregarded your life and death in the battle to kill Zhao Ni and made great contributions. I will never forget your contribution!

The warriors who sacrificed their lives for the country in this battle were each given a pension of 500 taels; the six beloved ministers were all rewarded with taels of silver, Zhang Yong was granted the title of Du Yuhou, and the remaining five were appointed as deputy capital Yuhou, and were given residences in the capital. Pick up your family and come to live in the capital.

I have authorized you to join our Great Zhou Forbidden Army. After you recover from your injuries, Han Dianqian will train you personally. I will be of great use to you in the future. "

When Zhang Yong and others heard about the generous reward, they were overjoyed and said in unison: "Your Majesty treats us so kindly, and I am willing to die for your Majesty!"

Chai Zongxun smiled and nodded, looked at Tang Qida and said:
"Mr. Tang, I will leave it to you to reward these six young men. They are all close friends who have experienced life and death with me. You must handle it well!"

Tang Qi hurriedly saluted and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will understand."

After coming out of Taiyuan Hospital, on the way back to Baoci Hall, Chai Zongxun said to Tang Qi behind him:
"Manager Tang, I have one more thing to tell you:

Replace everyone in the palace with reliable people who are loyal to me.

Those whose loyalty cannot be confirmed will be recruited and replaced. "

Tang Qi's heart trembled, and he felt that Chai Zongxun was as meticulous as a hair and heroic, so he quickly agreed.

After a while, Chai Zongxun walked into the Baoci Hall and greeted his mother, Queen Mother Fu.

After sitting down after the ceremony, Queen Mother Fu smiled and said:

"Your Majesty, now Zhao Ni's party has been completely eradicated, and the chaos in the past two days has been calmed down. In the past two days, for the sake of safety, Your Majesty has not gone to court early.

There is a lot of backlog of government affairs in the DPRK. Tomorrow, the queen mother will accompany the emperor to the court in the morning. "
