Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1018 The Resurrected Song Emperor
Various thoughts swirled in his mind, and Zhao Pu dozed off in a daze.

He was awakened by the noise of gongs and drums, and when he lifted the curtains of the car, he saw that he had turned into the street where Wang Haijiang's mansion was located. The actors on stilts performed with all their might, Zhao Pu shook his head, it's just a concubine of the nineteenth house, but she's making such a big noise, isn't she afraid of someone gossiping?Sure enough, he is a vulgar military general with a bad reputation, so he probably doesn't care at all.

The sedan chair paused for a moment, then fell down, and the personal guard said in a low voice, "Master, you have arrived at Wang's residence!"

As soon as the guard's words fell, Wang Haijiang's exaggerated loud voice sounded outside: "Master Prime Minister, I am late to greet you, please forgive me for being late, please forgive me!"

The curtain was lifted, and Wang Haijiang's dark and somewhat honest face appeared outside. Dozens of high court officials behind him were looking at him flatteringly, waiting for him to salute him after he got out of the carriage. However, the famous officials included all the civil and military officials under Zhao Pu's command, such as the Commander of Xiangdu who now controls the [-] forbidden troops of the Gyeonggi Imperial Army, the Third Division Envoy Tang Gang and others.Zhao Pu noticed that Fan Changcai, the chief secretary of Song Weifu, was not there, but he didn't take it seriously. After all, as far as he knew, Wang Haijiang and Fan Changcai were on good terms with each other, and Fan Changcai still had a lot of important things to do.

Wang Haijiang actually opened the curtain for Zhao Pu himself, "I can't do it!" Although Zhao Pu said he couldn't do it, his expression seemed to be taken for granted.He stepped out of the carriage with a smile, and said with a smile: "Today is General Wang's happy day, and General Wang doesn't wear auspicious clothes, so he just wears casual clothes to be the bridegroom's official?"

Wang Haijiang laughed, and said: "Thank you, Prime Minister, for your concern. This is just the nineteenth room, and there is nothing serious about it. The reason why the official is doing a big job is just to take the opportunity to celebrate and celebrate the grand occasion. Head. Your Excellency is invited, and the banquet has been prepared inside the lower officials."

After everyone saluted Zhao Pu, Zhao Pu smiled and said to Wang Haijiang: "I just came out of the palace, but I didn't have time to prepare any presents. I can't help but feel ashamed after eating this wine! Hmm! General Wang is talking to Li Jixun this time. , Lu Yuqing and other rebels made great contributions in the process of suppressing the rebellion, and after a few days, I will ask your majesty to let your majesty give General Wang the title of marquis."

Wang Haijiang was stunned for a moment, and then with a look of ecstasy on his face, he cupped his fists and bowed deeply to Zhao Pu, saying, "Thank you, my lord, I will definitely bow to my lord to repay my kindness." Others witnessed this scene, While envious, they are also full of joy, they are also the heroes of this mutiny, when Zhao Pu wins the world, they will be the ministers of the dragon, and the high officials and titles will not be missing them.

Zhao Pu was very satisfied with the reaction of Wang Haijiang and his confidants, nodded slightly, and walked towards Wang's mansion.
The outside of Wang's mansion is extremely lively, but the inside of the mansion is extremely quiet, there is no festive atmosphere at all, Zhao Pu couldn't help but wondered, "It's festive and lively outside, but why is it so quiet inside the mansion?"

Wang Haijiang shook his head and said, "Reporting to my lord, this is just a concubine in the nineteenth house. Besides, the lord knows that my lord is coming, so how dare I let those noisy people of unknown origin come into the mansion to disturb my lord's peace. That's why Such an arrangement."

Including Wang Haijiang, all the ministers showed more and more respectful attitude towards Zhao Pu in their demeanor and demeanor, especially the different meaning from the previous kind of respect, which made Zhao Pu very satisfied. He nodded, expressing his approval of Wang Haijiang s arrangement.

Under the leadership of Zhao Pu, everyone walked into the hall. A sumptuous banquet had already been prepared in the hall, and Zhao Pu naturally sat in the center seat.Others also sat down on both sides according to the size of their official positions. Wang Haijiang suddenly smiled and said: "Actually, besides you, there are three distinguished guests today."

Everyone was startled when they heard the words, Zhao Pu frowned slightly, but he didn't notice the strange smile on Wang Haijiang's face.

"What kind of distinguished guest, I really want to see it." Zhao Pu said with some displeasure.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the back hall, saying: "Mr. Zhao wants to see and see, so naturally he will not disappoint Mr. Zhao."

The voice was so familiar, Zhao Pu frowned, and looked at Wang Haijiang suspiciously, before he had time to taste the strange expression of the latter, a person suddenly turned out from the back hall.

"Li Mingxuan!" Zhao Pu was stunned for a moment. This person was the former Qinfeng Road Transit Envoy, and he had never completely trusted him. Therefore, two months ago, Zhao Dezhao took advantage of the loss of Minzhou and Xizhou, and charged him with negligence of duty. When he arrived in Kaifeng, he didn't care about him, but these days he had already forgotten about this person, unexpectedly this person appeared here, could it be that Li Xuanxuan and Wang Haijiang are good friends, and the latter took this opportunity to intercede for Li Mingxuan, Fight for a future.But when he thought about the content and tone of the person's words just now, coupled with his demeanor at this time, he felt something was wrong.

Zhao Pu felt a little uneasy in his heart, and was about to look at Wang Haijiang, waiting for the latter's explanation, but Li Mingxuan smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Zhao, I didn't come alone, but accompanied another person."

"There is another person, who is it, how dare to put on such a big shelf in front of the truth?"

"Don't I dare to show such a big air in front of you!" In the back hall, a young man came slowly and vigorously.

Zhao Pu couldn't believe his eyes. He stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes violently. When he opened his eyes and looked again, the man's face became clearer, and he had already walked a dozen steps directly opposite him.

"Your Majesty?" Zhao Pu and his confidantes exclaimed at the same time, stood up abruptly, overturning many tables and chairs, "Are you a human or a ghost?"

Song Emperor Zhao Dezhao glanced across the crowd with joyful and murderous eyes, finally fixed on Zhao Pu, walked towards him, and said, "Of course what you saw was a human being, and the one who died in the palace seven days ago in a sea of ​​flames Of course one has become a ghost!"

Zhao Pu's heart sank little by little, he looked at Wang Haijiang and Li Mingxuan, saw the sneer on their faces, and was about to say something, but Wang Haijiang walked up to him suddenly, lifted him up from his neck, It was thrown onto the floor five steps in front of the main seat.Then Wang Haijiang and Li Mingxuan invited Zhao Dezhao to the main seat amidst the disbelieving and pale faces of the crowd.

Zhao Pu couldn't care about the majesty of being thrown on the ground just now, looked at Zhao Dezhao, gritted his teeth and said, "How is this possible?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly came to his senses, looked at Li Mingxuan, and said, "It turns out that you are the mastermind by His Majesty's side, and all of this is your arrangement."

Zhao Dezhao stared at him with resentment on his face, and said: "With the great talent of Mr. Zhao, why can't you figure out why at this moment? Without him, you will die and live later. If I don't force you, a thief, to rebel , how can you wipe out all your accomplices in the court without shaking the foundation of the country."

Zhao Pu closed his eyes, and in an instant, countless scenes were turned in his mind. Suddenly, he remembered something, turned his head and said to Wang Haijiang: "Why did you betray me?"

Wang Haijiang snorted coldly, and said: "Joke, this general is His Majesty's courtier, and he has always been loyal to His Majesty. He never said anything about betrayal to you."

Zhao Pu suddenly turned his head to look at Li Mingxuan, he didn't know what he had figured out, he suddenly laughed out loud, he was out of breath, he bent down and covered his stomach, but he kept laughing wildly.But seeing Zhao Dezhao's expression became more and more pity, and Zhao Dezhao, who was still able to control his emotions just now, became distorted with anger.

Zhao Pu pointed to Li Mingxuan and said, "So you are..."

Li Mingxuan's face changed slightly, and he interrupted him suddenly with a voice, saying: "Your Majesty, let people take down these rebels first! To avoid long nights and dreams."

Zhao Dezhao thought the same, so he said to Wang Haijiang: "General Wang, take down all these rebels!"

Wang Haijiang said respectfully: "I obey."

Then he said loudly: "Come here, take down these rebels."

After Zhao Pu was interrupted by Li Mingxuan, he stopped talking, but turned around slowly, and walked out dully. Many of the Chinese officials in the room were already paralyzed, and the general had a strange expression on his face. It was ugly, but he had already stood up and drew the weapon from his waist, ready to fight and escape.As long as they escape from here, return to the army, and lead their confidants to control a part of the army, they will have a chance to turn back, and it will be a big deal to lead people away.At this time, dozens of guards rushed to the side door to protect Zhao Dezhao, preventing the ten or so senior generals in the hall from jumping over the wall in a hurry.Zhao Dezhao, on the other hand, looked at Zhao Pu with a happy face while laughing and walking slowly outside. As he walked, Zhao Pu's tall and straight figure slowly hunched down, and in an instant, he seemed to have aged ten years.

Outside the hall, two lieutenants of the imperial guards flashed out, first saluted Zhao Dezhao, and then stretched out their hands to block Zhao Pu, "Mr. Zhao, please!"

At the same time, outside Wang's mansion, a big man dressed in colorful clothes and who was still doing dragon dance on the street just now rushed in with his blood on his knees, knelt down to Zhao Dezhao and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the rebels outside are here!" All the guards have been put to death!"

Zhao Dezhao picked up the wine glass with a smile, and said to Li Mingxuan and Wang Haijiang with a smile: "Come on, two lovers, let's drink a glass of celebration wine together."

……

……

On the same day, under Li Mingxuan's plan, Wang Haijiang took over the city defense army with Zhao Pu's righteousness, killed all the former commander of the city defense army and Zhao Pu's confidantes, controlled the city defense army and Kaifeng City, and imposed martial law on the whole city. Haijiang sent everyone to quickly control all the passes in Kaifeng City. Immediately, several small-scale battles broke out in the city. Clashes erupted between the Forbidden Army.But because Zhao Pu's confidants who controlled these troops were either captured or killed, the army had no fighting spirit.
