Fisherman's Song Dynasty

Not only Chongzong, but the sudden loud noise made everyone in the room stunned, but it was not over yet, a string of sparks flew out from both sides of Chengtian Palace, rushed into the night sky and exploded.

The gorgeous fireworks lit up the night sky, and it was so beautiful that it made one's heart palpitate. Grand Master Xiao took a step forward with a smile: "I arrange the fireworks without authorization to add to the fun, and I hope the emperor will forgive me."

Only then did the officials come to their senses. It turned out that it was the Grand Master's surprise. Chongzong also seemed to understand, and he twitched the corner of his mouth and said with an embarrassed smile: "Aiqing is so devoted to the country, what is the crime? Come on, Give the grand master a brocade stool."

Grand Master Xiao bowed deeply: "I thank you for your grace!"

The wedding ceremony officially started amidst the fireworks that filled the sky. Li Luoyan, who was wearing a full suit of dress, came down to Chengtian Palace with the help of the maid. She was covered with a big red veil, just like the custom in the Central Plains. It is said that it was because the princess' mother and Zeng rescued her. Gong Luan's loyal guards were all Song people, so the princess insisted on marrying according to Song customs.

The son-in-law also came to the singing stage early, with a big red flower hanging on his chest, looking very festive, but his handsome face was a little tired. Everyone present knew that the father of the son-in-law was still in the In a coma, he may not even wake up from sleep.

The auspicious time has come, the heavenly official of the Ministry of Rites is the master of ceremonies, the princess and the son-in-law stand quietly on the stage, all the officials and envoys from all walks of life also put down their voices and watch quietly, surrounded by the imperial guards in full armor, all of them are high-spirited Full of energy, there was only one Emperor Chongzong sitting in the audience, with a cheerful smile on his face. The most beloved princess married the most loyal courtier, which is naturally worthy of joy.

Xu Zizhen was also standing at the moment, right next to Grand Master Xiao, today he was wearing the costume of a palace deacon, standing by the table with his hands down, serving the banquet for Grand Master Xiao and the adults at the next table, of course he His face has been changed, his face is painted gray, and his eyebrows are drawn upside down. No one will recognize that this is Xu Zizhen, a defector from the Song Dynasty who was ordered to be arrested by Emperor Chongzong.

"The Western Xia rules are really strange. I'm so busy going out early in the morning that I only salute now. It's already in Lao Tzu's time. It's troublesome."

Xu Zizhen muttered something in his heart, and looked around for a while. The open place was orderly. The emperor and the princess consort were on the stage, and the next few blocks below were envoys from various countries. They were seated according to their national strength. Naturally, it is the Kingdom of Jin, followed by the countries of Tubo, Heihan, and Uyghur in descending order.

The imperial army is responsible for the security of the entire site, while the emperor is in charge of the front office. Hundreds of tall and capable personal soldiers stand on both sides. The difference from the imperial army is that in addition to the long guns in their hands, they also have handles hanging from their waists. Strong crossbow.

The wedding ceremonies were not too lengthy. The heavenly officials of the Ministry of Rites worshiped the sky and the earth and worshiped the emperor, and then the princess and son-in-law went back to the mansion first. Chongzong stayed here to have a banquet with all the officials and the envoys. Such a big rule, as for Tubo and other countries, it was even more casual. Seeing that the atmosphere became lively, even the officials who usually had low eyebrows and pleasing eyes relaxed at this time.

Xixia people are fond of wine, and Chongzong is a well-known emperor of wine and meat. Today, when he is in a good mood, he even put aside the emperor's reserve, and took the initiative to drink with the officials and envoys. The scene quickly changed from lively to lively. enthusiastically.

Everyone was happily drinking and chatting, but Grand Master Xiao kept pouring out his mouth calmly and calmly with a smile on his face. Everything was proceeding according to the plan. This day will soon change.

The famous commander-in-chief Xiang Size, who was originally all-powerful, was dismissed due to the unfavorable Southern Expedition to the Great Song Dynasty, and now he is still imprisoned in the sky prison waiting to be punished. Si Zejiahou even obeyed his orders. If today's operation goes well, it will be easy to receive the power of the various military divisions, because the Xiao family has arranged people to infiltrate everywhere.

The Chengtian Palace was full of excitement, and the people in the city were wearing new clothes and eating wine and meat as if they were celebrating the New Year. The emperor had issued a notice to amnesty the world to reduce rent and taxes. This is the most affordable thing for the common people, and it is worth celebrating.

Suddenly there were several cannon shots from outside the palace, the muffled sound shook the ground a little, followed by a tidal wave of shouts of killing faintly, from far to near.

Everyone in the room was stunned, even Chongzong understood, his face turned pale and panicked, he stood up in a daze, almost bringing the case in front of him down.

Mutiny in the city? !

Eunuch Li, the eunuch next to Chongzong, was very calm. While pulling Chongzong's sleeve secretly without any trace, he shouted sharply: "What's going on? Come on, quickly block all the doors, and kill anyone who invades!"

The reaction of the imperial army was extremely fast, and several teams were immediately divided to guard the gates of Chengtian Palace. They also stood around Chongzong with guns at the same time, protecting him tightly.

"Report!" A fast horse came galloping like lightning, and immediately the knight turned over and dismounted before reaching the palace gate, and shouted in panic from a distance, "The second army of horses has mutinied and occupied the gates of the palace. Come through the door!"

Chongzong was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, and said with a trembling face, "What? This... Is this a rebellion? Come on, hurry up and investigate, who dares to do such a rebellious thing!"

Grand Master Xiao suddenly laughed and stood up: "Hahaha! You don't need to bother to investigate, this grand master wants to take your dog's life to rectify the country!"

"You?!" Chongzong was astonished, and his eyes were full of disbelief, "Grand Master, you... I treat your Xiao family well, yet you..."

Grand Master Xiao snorted coldly: "How can He De occupy the world with a foolish king like you? Today, Grand Master will do justice for the heavens and return a piece of pure land to the people of Great Xia! All soldiers, why don't you do it?"

"Yes!" There was a mountain of loud shouts, and the imperial guards who were guarding here suddenly turned around and pointed the steel knives in their hands at all the civil and military officials, while another team rushed directly to the man sitting at the head. Emperor Chongzong.

Chongzong was even more stunned by this change, and all the officials present gasped, even the imperial guards who guarded the royal family turned against each other. Could it be said that the world really will change their surnames from now on?

The hundreds of soldiers in front of the temple reacted instantly, quickly moving their feet to protect Chongzong's body, and the long spears with flat ends and short crossbows were stringed, and the cold crossbow arrows shone coldly under the moonlight and lamplight.

"Escort in front of the palace!"

A calm and cold drink sounded, and then a figure flew out from the Chengtian Palace behind Chongzong. It was Yu Qi, the commander of the imperial guards. , holding a long sword and staring coldly at the Forbidden Army rushing over, although those Forbidden Army were aggressive, they were surprised by Yu Qi's appearance and stopped for a moment.

Grand Master Xiao snorted coldly: "Mr. Xu, I'm sorry."

Under the eyes of everyone, a deacon who was trembling with fright slowly stood up straight, pulled out a steel knife from behind, looked at Yu Qi and grinned: "Don't worry, Grand Master, his skill is useless no matter how good he is. For he will die at my hand."
