Chapter 916 Zhao Gou: For the Country and the People [2 more]

"Hiss—it hurts!"

Zhang Bangchang pulled Zhao Gou's pants, and Zhao Gou burst into tears and felt terribly pain in his thigh.

He was young, just ten years old, and had been living a life of luxury since childhood, with fair skin and tender flesh.

After riding for several days, Zhao Gou could no longer bear it, even if he died here on the spot.

When Zhang Bangchang tried to take off Zhao Gou's pants to have a look, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the front.

"Escort!"

The Imperial Flying Dragon General Feng Mei quickly called on the imperial guards to form a battle formation and prepare to meet the enemy.

Hundreds of imperial guards hurriedly formed a circle, protecting Zhao Gou, Zhang Bangchang and others in the middle.

"Rumble...Rumble..."

A group of brave soldiers rushed over. Feng Mei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw their armor and shouted:
"Tokyo has fallen, and we are here to protect Prince Guangping and break out of the siege!
"Who are you? Please come and see me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a general came out from among the mighty soldiers:
"Xijing Command Commander Hua Rong is here to defend the king!"

Hearing that they were coming to defend the king, Zhao Gou asked Zhang Bangchang:

"But is it the Hua Rong who went to Xijing on horseback?"

Zhang Bangchang nodded: "It should be him."

Zhao Gou had heard of Hua Rong's story and knew that he was a fierce general, so he quickly ordered:

"Please ask General Hua to come see me!"

Zhao Gou's words soon reached Feng Mei's ears, and Feng Mei acted as a mouthpiece:

“It turned out to be General Hua!
"Since General Hua is here to serve the king, why don't you come and pay your respects to the Prince of Guangping?"

Wang Gui whispered to Hua Rong: "General Hua, aren't we going to Tokyo..."

"Shh!"

Tang Huai and Zhang Xian pulled him from the left and right at the same time. Wang Gui pursed his lips and said nothing.

Hua Rong urged his horse forward, entered the circle formed by the imperial guards, and saw Zhao Gou with blood all over his lower body.

"Hua Rong greets His Highness..."

After Hua Rong paid his respects, he was shocked when he saw Zhao Gou's bloody lower body:
"Your Highness, what are you..."

"It's okay, it's just worn out."

Zhao Gou had a stern face and pretended to be a king:
"General Hua, you are the first one to come to the king's defense!
"Your loyalty is commendable, and I am very pleased!"

Hua Rong blinked his eyes and said, "Thank you, Your Highness!
"I will go to Tokyo right now to take back the emperor from the Jin soldiers!"

Zhang Bangchang and Qin Hui looked at each other and said:
"Wait a minute, General Hua!

"Tokyo has already fallen, even if you lead the troops there it will be of no use!

"It would be better to send His Highness to Xijing first, and have His Highness issue an order to summon troops from all directions and then attack Tokyo!"

Zhao Gou nodded repeatedly: "What the Grand Commandant said is very true!

"General Hua, sending me to Xijing is a great achievement!"

Hua Rong's heart moved: "Yes, sir!"

So Hua Rong took Zhao Gou, Zhang Bangchang, Feng Mei, Zhu Shengfei, Qin Hui and others to Xijing.

A few days later, civil and military officials led by Cai Jing and Yang Jian received the news and fled to Xijing one after another.

"Your Highness!"

As soon as Cai Jing saw Zhao Gou, he burst into tears and fell to the ground.

Zhao Gou had shallow eye sockets and started crying too.

All the civil and military officials cried together for a long time. Cai Jing took Zhao Gou's hand and said:
"The emperor and the crown prince have been abducted by the Jin soldiers, and the country cannot be without a ruler for a day!
"I ask Your Highness to temporarily settle in Xijing, establish the throne, and call on all quarters to try to restore the country!"

I'm...

Zhang Bangchang became anxious when he heard this.

This is what he was originally going to say, but he never got the chance, and unexpectedly, Cai Jing beat him to it.

Old fox!
Zhang Bangchang cursed inwardly and quickly said:

"Your Highness, please take the throne and summon troops from all directions to support the king!"

Zhao Gou was overjoyed, but he still tried to shirk his responsibility with an embarrassed look on his face:

"Ah, this...isn't good..."

"Your Highness, this is for the country and the people of the world!"

Yang Jian prostrated himself on the ground: "Your Highness, please ascend the throne!"

Wang Fu prostrated himself on the ground: "Your Highness, ascend the throne!"

Cai Jing, Zhang Bangchang and other civil and military officials also prostrated themselves on the ground, shouting in unison: "Your Highness, please ascend the throne!"

Zhao Gou sighed and burst into tears:

"Well, for the sake of the country and the people, I accept it!"

Cai Jing, Zhang Bangchang, Yang Jian, and Wang Fu led all the civil and military officials and shouted in unison:
"Your Majesty, Holy Ming——"

Because Zhang Bangchang, Feng Mei, Zhu Shengfei, Qin Hui and Hua Rong had made great contributions to the emperor, Zhao Gou rewarded them generously.

Zhang Bangchang was promoted to Taifu, Zhu Shengfei to Shangshu You Pushe, and Qin Hui to Jianyi Dafu.

Hua Rong was the commander-in-chief of the palace, and Feng Mei was the deputy commander-in-chief of the palace.

Although Feng Mei was dissatisfied with this, he had no choice as he was in Xijing after all.

All the troops belong to Hua Rong, so Hua Rong has to be the leader.

Liu Gao was delighted when he received the news from Hua Rong:
"Zhao Gou actually went to Xijing?
"And let my eighth brother be the palace commander?"

Liu Gao spent so much time to become the Minister of War and the Governor of Yangzhou, but he didn't expect Hua Rong to rise to such a high position.

But it's true, after all Hua Rong is a loyal minister.

Tang Huai, who came to report the news, asked Liu Gao: "Your Highness, do you want to..."

Tang Huai made a gesture of wiping his neck while speaking.

"Do not."

Liu Gao waved his hand:

“That’s fine.

“Although the emperor was abducted, the Song Dynasty has not collapsed.

"Let the new king handle this mess for two more years."

Tang Huai nodded in agreement.

"Go back and tell my eighth brother that he must seize the military power."

Liu Gao patted Tang Huai on the shoulder with a smile:

"You guys have to work hard as undercover agents again."

Speaking of which, as the Minister of War and the Governor of Yangzhou, should I go to Xijing to pay my respects to the king?

……

Gunzhou.

Shandong Jiedushi Liu Yu was drinking and having fun with two beauties in his arms, when suddenly a man who smelled like sheep came over:

"My master has a letter for Master Liu!"

Liu Yu realized something and immediately pushed the two beauties away:
"You guys get out first!"

After driving away all the outsiders, Liu Yu respectfully took the letter, opened it, and was overjoyed:

"Good! Good! Good!"

He immediately wrote a reply to the man who smelled like sheep, and Liu Yu gave him another piece of silver:
"Thank you! Please be sure to give the reply letter to the military advisor!"

The man with the smell of mutton hurried away with the letter and was happened to be seen by Liu Yu's two sons.

So Liu Yu's two sons came in and asked Liu Yu, and Liu Yu told them about the letter.

"most!"

When Liu Yu's second son Liu Ni heard this, he was delighted:

"Daddy was named King of Lu, and we are princes too!"

"Daddy, no!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yu's eldest son Liu Lin immediately advised:
"If Daddy surrenders, wouldn't he be a traitor seeking personal gain?"

"Good son!"

Liu Yu's face turned green: "How can a son call his father a thief?"

"How dare I scold my father? I am afraid I will not be able to escape the public's criticism!
"As the ancients said, if a minister cannot be loyal to his lord, and a son cannot be filial to his parents, how can he survive in this world?"

Liu Lin drew his sword and put it on his neck:
"It's better to commit suicide early to avoid being laughed at by others!"

After saying that, Liu Lin slashed his own neck with a sword!
Liu Yu was furious: "How can there be such an unfilial son in the world! Drag him out!"

Liu Yu was determined to do it, and he immediately summoned all his generals:

"The emperor has been abducted by the Jin soldiers, the fate of the Song Dynasty has come to an end!
"The troubled times are coming, I have decided to establish myself as king and share the wealth and glory with you!"
