The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 87

The fire in Zhao's mansion attracted many people, most of them came to watch the fun, and of course there were officers and soldiers. The officers and soldiers here were none other than Zhao Xu's future old father-in-law.

He heard that there was a big fire in the Zhao residence, so he rushed over immediately, not only because his daughter was here, but also because the friendship between the two families was not ordinary. Han Tong belonged to the Guards Division.

Now Gao Huaide is running around in a hurry, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is an ant on a hot pot, because he has heard that none of the people in Zhao's mansion came out of it, and he did not see all of us coming out of it.

Doesn't that mean that everyone in the Zhao family was buried in the sea of ​​flames? Brother Zhao just set off not far away and entrusted his family to take care of him. It took less than two days for such a thing to happen. How could I go to see Zhao Kuangyin? , my daughter is also in it, how can I be a father?

"Oh!"

The last house in the Zhao Mansion collapsed, and the entire Zhao Mansion was razed to the ground. It was impossible for anyone to come out alive. Hundreds of lives were lost just like that. Gao Huaide's eyes were blank.

"Uncle Gao, why are you here?" At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind Gao Huaide, which made Gao Huaide happy, because he couldn't be more familiar with this voice, it was Zhao Xu's sound.

"Zhao Xu" Gao Huaide cared from the bottom of his heart.

"Zhao Xu, why are you here? What's going on? Auntie and the others?" This is what Gao Huaide cares about.

"Don't worry, Uncle Gao. Grandma and the others are safe now. Guiying is also with them. They are safe. No one can find them. Now we have one more important thing."

"Liu Qinhu, Dong Zhenhai gathered the brothers together, and went to find Han Hui to settle accounts with me. He burned my Zhao mansion, and even my Zhao family's ancestral hall is gone. This matter can't be left like this."

Only then did Gao Huaide notice that there were hundreds of people standing behind Zhao Xu, all of them covered in black, giving off a depressing feeling.He also knew Han Hui. He was Han Tong's son. Could it be that he burned the Zhao Mansion?No wonder Zhao Xu wanted to settle accounts with him.

"Zhao Xu is not the time to make trouble. This matter needs a long-term plan. I think it's better to let Han Tong communicate first." After all, Han Tong is now the deputy commander of the guard department, and he is also his boss.

At the same time, he is also the patrol inspector of the capital, and has the power to deploy troops in the capital. In addition, these people led by Zhao Xu are all black-clothed and masked, which is very troublesome. But it is also more troublesome.

Zhao Xu probably saw what Gao Huaide meant, so he waved his hand:
"Uncle Gao, you didn't go to court today, or you wouldn't be so calm." In fact, Zhao Xu was right, today is Gao Huaide's ten-day holiday.

Officials in the Tang Dynasty had the custom of taking one vacation every ten days, which was called "ten-day vacation".There is a record that says: "On January [-]th, if you meet a [-]th day, you will go straight down and rest for a bath.

Ten-day holidays were even more popular in the Song Dynasty. During the ten-day holidays, officials did not have to go to their own government offices to work. This time can be freely arranged, which is similar to the current weekends, but their ten-day holidays are staggered, otherwise everyone Rest, the whole country will not be paralyzed.

It just so happened that today was Gao Huaide's ten-day holiday, so he really didn't go to the court. At that time, his subordinates were about to report something to him. When they heard that there was something wrong with Zhao's residence, they immediately brought troops over. on other news.

Gao Huaide looked at the person who said something to him just now, and that person immediately ran over and whispered in Gao Huaide's ear, after listening, Gao Huaide was stunned for a moment, and then his face was full of disbelief , and then there is a happy face.

For a moment, he was shocked by the big news. The news of the addition of the yellow robe was enough to make a hole in the sky.

His face was full of disbelief, because he knew that Zhao Kuangyin had always been loyal to Sejong, and Sejong also had a lot of trust in him. How could Zhao Kuangyin do such a thing?
The reason for the joyful expression on his face is that he knows Zhao Kuangyin's talent, and there is nothing wrong with him being an emperor, at least there is no harm to the people of the world.At the same time, I and Zhao Kuangyin are considered a family, no matter from which aspect, this is something to be happy about.

Gao Huaide was at a loss at this time, what should he do at this time, thanks to Zhao Xu's reminder, he hurriedly summoned his own soldiers and captains to meet Zhao Kuangyin, after all, this is also a credit.

As for Zhao Xu, he took these people and walked in the direction of the Han Mansion. At this time, Bianjing City has begun to be a bit chaotic. I don't know when it started. Everyone heard the news that Zhao Kuangyin was inspected. emperor.

Since the Five Dynasties, the emperors have changed like a revolving lantern. Everyone is afraid, because every time the dynasty changes, there are always rebels who take the opportunity to rob the people of their money. In order to win the hearts of the soldiers, the new emperor will not punish these soldiers.

Therefore, the common people closed their doors tightly and hid all the precious things in their homes. Some people even planned to move their families.

But everyone soon discovered that this time was different from Ten Thousand. The army was not chaotic at all, but neatly organized, and the people on both sides of the city were not disturbed. The yellow robe was embraced by the generals.

Surrounded by generals in uniform and fully armed soldiers, he was very majestic. He was escorted into the city by generals such as Shi Shouxin, Wang Shenqi, and Gao Huaide.

The generals and soldiers also strictly carried out Zhao Kuangyin's orders, and did not commit any presumptuous actions.

Zhao Kuangyin was escorted by the generals to enter and climb the Mingde Gate. All the generals shouted long live, and some brave people also came out of the house to witness this moment with their own eyes.

Then Zhao Kuangyin ordered these soldiers to return to their posts, and he returned to the office where he checked with the support of several brothers, and he also took off his yellow robe.

I can't wear the dragon robe in a dignified manner yet, and I'm still one step away from becoming the emperor. Although the army is under my control, the civil servants don't buy into me. They don't agree, so I can't leave them alone. Bar.

He doesn't have to persuade all the officials one by one, as long as the prime minister is settled, nothing will happen. As long as the prime minister stands here, there will be no problems. Shouxin and others went to the office where Fan Zhi and Wang Pu came to check.

Here, Han Tong is leading a group of people towards Zhao Kuangyin. He needs to settle down his home first, and then he can deal with Zhao Kuangyin without any worries. The people he brought now are all his cronies.

But before he got home, a group of people came in front, none other than Wang Yansheng. He heard that Han Tong was leading troops to resist, so he volunteered to lead troops to stop him.

Han Tong always disliked Wang Yansheng very much, because this Wang Yansheng was always against him. Although his official position was higher than Wang Yansheng, but with Zhao Kuangyin's protection, he had nothing to do with Wang Yansheng.

Wang Yansheng also liked that Han Tong didn't catch a cold, this old man always wanted to make trouble for himself, if Zhao Kuangyin didn't protect him, Wang Yansheng would have been demoted to nowhere, would he still be standing here?

The two can be said to be old enemies, as the saying goes, enemies are extremely jealous when they meet, but these two are like two fighting dogs, ready to bite.

"Wang Yansheng, you traitor, I will deal with you first, and then I will deal with Zhao Kuangyin, a traitor, so that you all will die." Han Tong was full of anger.

"Master Han, I'm afraid you don't have this chance now." Before Wang Yansheng could answer, someone took the conversation, and the voice came from behind Han Tong.

Both Han Tong and Wang Yansheng turned their heads together, but Han Tong first saw his son running towards him, followed by many men in black chasing him.Wang Yansheng saw Zhao Xu, his former boss.

Zhao Xu slowly approached Han Tong, while Han Tong's soldiers looked at Zhao Xu nervously one by one, but they didn't take these people seriously at all, and walked straight in front of Han Tong:

"Master Han, those who know the current affairs are heroes. The current situation is very clear. As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to live in. If you stop resisting, I can guarantee your safety."

"Furthermore, this incident itself was caused by you. You were afraid that my father would not be able to control the military power, so you deliberately lied about the military situation and transferred him out of the capital, then removed his military power, and let you slaughter him in the end. This is a good plan. But I didn't expect such a thing to happen, but as long as you surrender, I promise that you can forget the past."

Maybe everyone would think he was arrogant when he said this before, but now his father is in control of the real power and has a yellow robe on his body. Although he has not officially announced it to the world, it is already a certainty. If there is no accident, he will be the prince. Words have weight.

Han Tong, who was exposed of the conspiracy here, had a dark face, but he didn't appreciate it:
"Fuck, I can't make this old man submit to you traitorous officials and thieves. I want to fight to the end with you. Come on and give me a hand."

Hearing what Han Tong said, Wang Yansheng also became alert, and the men in black brought by Zhao Xu took out a crossbow from behind, which was the Zhuge hand crossbow that described the family history, and pointed at Han Tong and the others.

In an instant, it will be clear who is better and who is worse. You are already surrounded by others, and it is impossible to escape, unless the opponents are vulnerable or the people on your side are warriors who are equal to a hundred. , but is this possible?
