Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 642

Standing on the high wall of the imperial city, far away from those corpses, Zhao Dezhao gradually returned to normal.

It has to be said that although Zhao Dezhao's ability is mediocre, and he is timid and lustful, he has a very good skin. Coupled with years of royal education and training, this demeanor can still bluff people.

At this time, at noon, Zhao Dezhao took a deep breath, recalling in his mind the past few days that Zhao Pu had repeatedly emphasized how to speak and how to act on certain occasions. When he looked up, he felt that the sun was dazzling , and the heat was unbearable, and the skin was burning and painful, just like Ye Chen who just killed King Jin, it made people feel extremely uncomfortable, but he seemed helpless.

No one knew how afraid and fearful King Wei was towards Ye Chen now. These two emotions had filled his heart with infinite murderous intent towards Ye Chen.

"Rumble..." The sound of horseshoes resounded on the avenue from the main gate of the imperial city to the south gate.The scene of nearly [-] heavy cavalry rushing forward suddenly came into view, as if so many people descended from the sky, no matter who saw it suddenly, it would be very shocking.

Zhao Dezhao looked down and saw a torrent of iron armor, forests of swords and guns, and clouds of banners!
Suddenly someone shouted "His Royal Highness Wei Wang!", and then more people shouted.After a while, thousands of troops and horses shouted one after another, and the shouts gradually became uniform, converging into a roar resounding inside and outside: "Jin Wang and Pan Mei conspired to rebel and kill the king, and the cavalry army was summoned by His Royal Highness King Wei to kill the thief! "

Nearly [-] cavalry shouted very skillfully and magnificently. The earth-shattering shouts echoed in front of the imperial city, and the shouts lasted for a long time.

Such a tidy call was obviously arranged by someone before.In fact, this was when Zhao Pu conspired with Liu Shouzhong, the commander of the military cavalry army, and Zhao Pu specifically told Liu Shouzhong to do it.The purpose is to create momentum for the king of Wei, giving people a feeling that the king of Wei has already controlled the imperial city, and even the capital, so that in addition to the military cavalry, other generals of the imperial army who have entered the city can be under this intentionally created general situation. Choose to be loyal to King Wei.After all, Zhao Dezhao is the eldest son, and he is not only crowned king, but also has the advantage of being a mature adult compared to the little prince who is only 14 years old.Conversely, letting a 14-year-old boy become emperor is very worrying from the perspective of courtiers and common people.

Of course, anyone who understands the situation in the imperial court knows that there is a huge variable in it—Ye Chen.

At this time, Zhao Dezhao put his fear and murderous intentions towards Ye Chen behind him for the time being. Looking at the [-] cavalry troops gradually approaching the imperial city, a flush of excitement gradually appeared on his face, and gradually appeared in his clear eyes. Domineering and confident look.With his head held high and his chest held high, he faced the turbulent scene directly, as if he was standing on the head of a stormy sea.The overindulgent and slightly thin body is just a little more majestic.

Zhao Dezhao no longer had the fear and disgust he had when he saw thousands of corpses. Instead, he looked excited. In a short period of time, the haze and timidity were swept away, and he completely recovered the bearing and temperament that the crown prince should have.Even his expression showed an unfathomable state similar to Zhao Kuangyin's.Zhao Pu saw all this in his eyes, and his heart was full of relief.And the army that was lining up under the imperial city couldn't help but feel oppressed and fearful... Of course, that kind of fear was because everyone knew that King Wei was likely to become their emperor soon.

"The king of Jin and Pan Mei conspired to rebel and kill the king, and the cavalry army was summoned by the king of Wei to punish the rebels and kill the thieves!" Zhao Dezhao's exciting shouts have not yet completely subsided.All eyes are on the imperial city, and Wei Wang Zhao Dezhao is very opinionated.

After the military cavalry army came to the square in front of the imperial city, Zeng Shangfei led the [-] city defense troops to rush over, and then the seven armies of Pengri, Tianwu, Longwei, Shenwei, Shenyong, Xuanwu, and Xiaoqi also led half of their troops. Before coming to the imperial city.

Groups of armed soldiers lined up on the square, and the horses galloped in front of the formation, which seemed to be disturbing.But the army was not chaotic, and with a well-established organizational system, it was lined up in ranks; there were no less than 3 infantry squares with hundreds of people alone, and the total number of cavalry was no less than [-].

Zhao Dezhao tried his best to restrain the excitement in his heart, stood on the high imperial city, and looked down at the army that was lining up calmly and calmly.

After Liu Shouzhong lined up, he first ordered: "Get off the horse!"

"kneel!"

Liu Shouzhong gave two orders to exit, and the five thousand cavalry dismounted, and they all knelt down to the king of Wei.Then Liu Shouzhong knelt down on one knee at the king of Wei on the imperial city and shouted: "The commander of the cavalry army, Liu Shouzhong, will lead the army into the palace to destroy the rebels according to the order of the king of Wei! I am late, please Your Highness King Wei!" Punishment!"

"His Royal Highness King Wei please punish!" The five thousand cavalry followed their generals and shouted in unison.It shocked the other troops nearby.It even caused a slight change in the expressions of the chief generals of the Forbidden Army who were hesitating how to meet King Wei.The military cavalry took the lead in making a gesture of complete submission to the king of Wei. If they did not make a statement, they would have offended the king of Wei completely. If the king of Wei became the emperor, it would be their unlucky time.

Zeng Shangfei sighed in his heart. Ye Chen had issued a secret order to him a few days ago, and he even got in touch with Zhao Pu secretly, and expressed his surrender to King Wei.He didn't know why Ye Chen asked him to do this, what purpose or plan he had, but he would not violate any of Ye Chen's intentions.So after Liu Shouzhong, Zeng Shangfei led his [-] troops to follow Liu Shouzhong's example and expressed his surrender to King Wei.

Two armies have already expressed their stance and appearance. No matter what the other generals of the forbidden army think or have any scruples, they can only follow Liu Shouzhong and Zeng Shangfei to express their loyalty to King Wei because of the situation.Of course, this is just a superficial statement. Although it is extremely important under the current situation, it still cannot be regarded as a complete surrender to King Wei.Zhao Pu and King Wei naturally understood this, but considering the situation in Kyoto and the court at this time, even a superficial statement by these troops was enough for them to achieve their goals.

Apparently, this was another plan arranged by Zhao Pu—to use power to overwhelm others. Of course, King Wei would inevitably have to use some coercion and temptation in the future.

Zhao Dezhao looked at the army kneeling under the imperial city with a smile, took a deep breath, suppressed the tension in his heart, and said loudly: "You officers and men have made great achievements in killing thieves, so why should you be late? Please, officers and men, hurry up."

"Thank you, His Royal Highness, King Wei." More than 3 people shouted in unison, and most people in the capital could even hear it. Many people heard it, and even wondered if King Wei had already ascended the throne as emperor.

Zhao Dezhao was very satisfied with the performance of the army, with a solemn expression, he continued: "The king of Jin, Pan Mei, Xu Fangyi and other rebels conspired to rebel and kill the king at the top of the Jade Emperor, and confounded right and wrong in an attempt to kill this king. Under the conspiracy of this king and King Xiangfu and Zhao Xianggong, King Xiangfu led the loyal soldiers of the Huaxia Weifu to kill the rebel King Jin and avenge the late emperor. The generals have not known the truth these days and were deceived by King Jin, but today At the last moment, it is not too late to wake up in time, so this king will not blame you. However, the traitor Pan Mei still led the rebel army to escape, and the capital is unstable, and you soldiers have to continue to work hard."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Dezhao turned his head and said something, and Zhao Pu next to him said loudly: "The king of Wei has a decree, the military cavalry commander Liu Shouzhong led 5000 military cavalry troops into the palace to take over the defense of the imperial city. The city defense army commander Liu Shouzhong Zeng Shangfei leads [-] city defense troops to take over the defense of Kyoto, and those who disobey will be killed!"

"My lord, Liu Shouzhong respectfully obeys the will of His Royal Highness the King of Wei!"

"Sir, Zeng Shangfei respectfully obeys His Highness King Wei's will!"

Liu Shouzhong and Zeng Shangfei worshiped at the same time.

Zhao Pu continued: "The king of Wei has an order. Liu Shouzhong and Zeng Shangfei will lead the army to start deployment immediately, and all other armies will command and envoy to the imperial city to discuss matters."

When Zhao Dezhao tried his best to subdue the generals of the Imperial Army in front of the imperial city, Pan Mei had already escaped from the capital with [-] cavalry, and joined the [-] troops trapped in the Huaxia Weifu on the outskirts of the city, and fled southwest .All the troops of the imperial army who chased out of the city all the way did not continue after chasing for a hundred miles.This is not because they don't want to chase after them, but because their mission and responsibility has always been to protect the capital and the emperor. Now that the situation in the capital has not been completely settled, how can they leave the capital and the new emperor behind and take the army away at this time.What's more, the king of Wei sent someone to pass the military order before.

In the Baiyun Mountains, near Yuhuangding, these days Cao Wei led 3000 men and horses to fight tenaciously with Pan Mei's [-] Tiger Wing Army here.

At this time, the Tiger Wing Army, which was about to enter the mountain again to encircle Cao Wei's subordinates, suddenly withdrew. Cao Wei, who was standing on a mountaintop with more than a dozen soldiers, was overjoyed to see this scene, but he was a little surprised and thought that It was the conspiracy of the Tiger Wing Army, and he was not sure that the other side had really withdrawn their troops until he saw that the [-] Tiger Wing Army did not return to the capital, but went southwest.

After Cao Wei pondered for a while, he knew that the situation in Kyoto must have changed. He decisively led the army and followed them at a certain distance. As long as the Tiger Wing Army stopped, he would stop too. He led the army and turned around to flee, the Tiger Wing Army stopped and turned around and continued to march rapidly, Pan Mei also turned around and led the men to catch up again.In the end, Fan Zishi, the deputy commander of the Tiger Wing Army, saw that he could not get rid of Cao Wei, so he cursed secretly, ignored him, and just galloped away to the southwest with a heavy heart, feeling that the future was gloomy, if he hadn't treated Pan Mei I have always been convinced, I really want to bring people to surrender to the court.

In the broad square in front of the imperial city, the sun is shining brightly, and there are thousands of troops and horses like a tide.

The entire imperial city was already under the control of Liu Shouzhong, a military cavalry army. Some maids and eunuchs who had previously hidden in the palace were also found out. Under the leadership of several housekeepers, servants, and maids in the Wei Palace, they began to clean up the palace. Dead bodies and other messy places.
