Great Zhou Empire: Kill Zhao Kuangyin at the beginning

Chapter 8 Killing Zhao Kuangyin
Chai Zongxun hid behind the screen and looked into the hall. He saw that although Zhao Kuangyin's fists and kicks were powerful, his movements were obviously slow.

Six young martial arts practitioners and ten eunuchs were fighting around Zhao Kuangyin, but they were able to avoid his powerful fists and kicks.

Zhang Yong's skills were the best among young martial arts practitioners. He endured the pain on his body and took the opportunity to cut several wounds on Zhao Kuangyin's body with a short knife.

After fighting for a while, Zhao Kuangyin's body was completely poisoned, and he regretted it in his heart:

I really didn't expect that the seven-year-old little emperor would dare to suddenly take advantage of the martial arts competition, otherwise he would not be able to come to the palace late at night to keep the appointment.

Zhao Kuangyin was originally hesitant to seize the throne of the Zhou Dynasty. However, under the constant instigation of his brother Zhao Kuangyi, his counselor Zhao Pu, and his trusted general Shi Shouxin, he began planning to seize power when Zhou Shizong returned to the capital from a sudden illness.

The so-called "suspiciousness of the young master" is the cause of Zhao Kuangyin's ambition to seize the throne, and it has also become the key point of Zhao Kuangyin's defeat today:

Unexpectedly, the "young master" is indeed a "young master". He is only 7 years old, but his power and tactics are comparable to those of the wise masters in history.

Zhao Kuangyin felt haggard in his heart. After shaking his body a few times, his vision went dark. He could no longer stand, and passed out on the floor of the hall with a "plop".

Chai Zongxun was overjoyed and immediately ran out from behind the screen and shouted: "Tie up Zhao Kuangyin quickly!"

Ten eunuchs quickly ran to the place where the equipment was placed in the Xingwu Hall, took out a large bundle of beef tendon and hemp rope, ran back, and tied up Zhao Kuangyin's body several times tightly.

Chai Zongxun turned around and saw Han Tongyu unconscious on the ground, with blood from his broken arm flowing all over the ground.

Chai Zongxun quickly said to the ten eunuchs:
"You must go outside the palace to convey my decree to Eunuch Tang. Zhao Kuangyin has been ambushed and executed! Immediately lead the Imperial Guards under Deputy Commander Han to encircle and kill the three hundred followers brought by Zhao Kuangyin!"

At the same time, send someone quickly to ask the imperial doctor to treat the wounded in the palace! "

After the ten eunuchs saluted, they turned around and ran to the palace door. They worked together to open the door and ran out.

Chai Zongxunya did not want Han Tong to die, so he said to Zhang Yong: "Ai Qing has made great achievements today!
Quickly think of a way to help Han Aiqing stop the bleeding from the wound. "

Zhang Yong has traveled all over the world since he was a child. He has killed bandits at the age of ten. He has a lot of experience in the world. He immediately walked to Han Tong's side and tied up Han Tong's broken right arm tightly with a cloth strip. The bleeding was slowly Stopped.

Tang Qi, who was waiting outside the palace, immediately loudly said to Zhao Kuangyin's men after receiving the eunuch's order:
"Zhao Kuangyin hid a sharp weapon and attempted rebellion, and has been executed by His Majesty!

You are the sergeants of the Imperial Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and you must be loyal to His Majesty! Those who immediately throw down their weapons and surrender will not be held accountable.

If you resist, it will be considered treason and you will be killed without mercy! "

When the three hundred confidantes of Zhao Kuangyin heard this, the crowd was in a state of excitement.

Shi Shouxin, the deputy commander of the capital, shouted: "The emperor is plotting to murder the minister! Zhao Dianjian is so skilled in martial arts, how could he be easily killed by the little emperor?"
Brothers, quickly follow me into the Xingwu Palace and rescue Zhao Dianqian! "

Amidst the sound of "choking", more than a thousand Imperial Guards under Han Tong and 300 Imperial Guards under Zhao Kuangyin drew their swords from their sheaths, and the two sides fought bloody battles.

Both sides were elite. After all, Chai Zongxun's side was well prepared with more than three times the number of troops. With more than three times the number of troops, the battle situation quickly revealed that Zhao Kuangyin's side was unbeatable.

Shi Shouxin kept waving the long sword in his hand, killing dozens of enemy soldiers immediately. In his heart, he only hoped that Zhao Kuangyin, who was extremely skilled in martial arts, would appear from the palace gate as soon as possible, and then fight together to break out of the siege and break out of the palace before making plans.

Chai Zongxun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, sat down contentedly in the center of the throne in the palace, and ordered the young martial arts practitioners to get water and pour it on him to wake Zhao Kuangyin up.

As soon as Zhao Kuangyin woke up, he immediately found that he was tightly tied up all over his body, and several teenagers had daggers placed around their necks.

Zhao Kuangyin stared at Chai Zongxun with splitting eyes and shouted angrily:
"Shuzi! How dare you kill me! I am the late emperor's minister!" Chai Zongxun laughed a few times and scolded:
"You two brothers have always been unruly and unrighteous, and have ulterior motives!

On his way back to the south, my father picked up the wooden sign "Inspection of the Son of Heaven" which was the work of you two!
This made my father suspicious of Zhang Yongde and Li Chongjin, who were relatives of the emperor. He dismissed them as Jiedushi, and promoted you to be the inspector in front of the palace.

But what about you? He has no loyalty to his father and to me, the Great Zhou Dynasty. Seeing that I am young, he has ulterior motives. He arranges his cronies among the Forbidden Army and the Returned Army, buys people's hearts, and attempts to usurp the throne!

Everyone says, "The young master is suspicious of the country." Today, I will kill you two to establish my authority, so that everyone in the world will know: I am the sage king of China for all generations! "

Chai Zongxun, who traveled through time and was only seven years old, seemed to have a beautiful picture before his eyes. Under his rule, he completely changed the history of the Song Dynasty, which was the turning point of China's decline, and the great Zhou Dynasty conquered the world!

Zhao Kuangyin said angrily:

"Shu Zi slandered me! I rectified the Forbidden Army and the Returned Army to resist the enemy's invasion. How can it be said to be treason?
How dare you kill me? If something happens to me, the German army and half of the imperial army will mutiny! You won’t be able to escape death by then! "

Chai Zongxun smiled and said: "Zhao Kuangyin, you know your conspiracy best.

Are you planning to find the right time to falsely report the military situation of the invasion of Han and Khitan, and take the opportunity to capture all the Forbidden Army and the Returned Army? And then launch a mutiny to seize the throne? !
Zhao Kuangyin, I, the Forbidden Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Returned Army of Germany do not need to worry about you. I have urgently ordered Zhang Yongde and Li Chongjin to sneak back to the capital.

I'm afraid their reputations in the military are still far higher than yours? As long as I kill you, your brother and those gang members are only a minority among the officers, so what can they do? "

When Zhao Kuangyin heard this, his face turned pale.

He was only in his thirties. Although he was highly promoted by Zhou Shizong, his reputation and qualifications in the Zhou army were still relatively low. Compared with Li Chongjin, who was in his fifties and had served in the army all his life, he was in his thirties but had already been a subordinate of a senior general. When Ma Zhang Yongde came, his appeal was still far from enough.

Even compared to Han Tonglai, the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army who was in his forties and had been in the army for thirty years, his qualifications were much lower.

At this moment, Zhao Kuangyin was secretly shocked that Chai Zongxun was so far-sighted at such a young age.

Zhao Kuangyin begged: "Your Majesty, I was entrusted by the late emperor, and I have always been loyal to your Majesty and the State of Zhou Dynasty! I beg your majesty to spare my life, and I am willing to be disarmed and return to my field."

If there are no ministers, the Northern Han and Khitan cavalry will soon invade our great Zhou Dynasty! "

Chai Zongxun said harshly:

"It is in vain that my father has cultivated and trusted you so much that you actually want to seize my throne!
Not only do I want to kill you, but I also want to kill your brothers Zhao Kuangyi, Zhao Pu and others, and punish the nine tribes! I will kill all your trusted generals, such as the "Ten Brothers of the Righteous Society" and others! "

Zhao Kuangyin was so angry that he vomited out a mouthful of blood. Knowing that he would be unlucky, he pointed his halberd at Chai Zong and said:

"You are so cruel! Without me, Zhao Kuangyin, the Great Zhou Dynasty will be destroyed!"

Chai Zongxun sighed and said: "I didn't want to be so cruel to you! But thinking about your brother's insidiousness, I feel that it would be more beneficial to the Chinese nation to kill all the nine tribes!

As for the threats from enemy countries such as Han, Khitan, and Tang, you don’t need to worry too much. After you are removed, I will deal with them properly!
Zhao Kuangyin, go on your way with peace of mind! Let's go and serve the late Emperor under Jiuquan! "

Chai Zongxun looked at Zhang Yong and other young men and said, "Zhao Kuangyin has conspired to rebel. Behead him immediately as a warning to all the troops!"

When Zhang Yong and others heard this, they immediately stepped forward with a short knife and killed Zhao Kuangyin who was unconscious on the ground with several swords, and then beheaded him.
