Slave to Queen: One Night Bride

Chapter 261
Zhao Deji laughed out loud.Even before and after he ascended the throne, the crowd had never heard him laugh so much. Zhao Deji said ecstatically, "Get ready, I will go to the city gate to greet you in person."

The court ladies and eunuchs started together, and everyone immediately changed the steel armor for him, put on the emperor's uncut head and yellow robe, and then stretched out the big palace umbrella, Zhao Deji walked to the city gate to meet Yue Pengju in person.

At the gate of the city, Wu Zhan was already waiting to accompany the emperor. As soon as he walked in, the gate of the city opened wide.At this moment, Zhai Ruwen and Yue Pengju knelt on the muddy ground and shouted: "I'm waiting for the rescue to come late."

Zhao Deji helped them up with his own hands, grabbed their muddy hands, and couldn't help crying loudly.

Everyone had never heard the Son of Heaven wail so loudly, they were so sad, and they all felt sympathetic.After weeping for a while, Zhao Deji said: "After such a great change, I will definitely work hard, reform and reform, and rejuvenate my Song Dynasty."

Hearing this, Yue Pengju saw him cry so bitterly for the first time, his heart cheered up, and he saluted again: "I will do my best to be loyal to Your Majesty."

Zhao Deji helped him up: "You two, please go to the inner court to rest for a while."

It is naturally a great grace and an exception for the emperor to summon the two into the hall.

The two of them naturally didn't dare to refuse and went in immediately.

A court lady brought some large plates of steamed buns, Zhao Deji immediately said: "Pengju is hungry. No need to be polite, please eat quickly."

He changed the title of "Pengju", which is more old-fashioned and friendly.

Yue Pengju marched all the way, and was very hungry at first, but worried about the safety of his wife and son, Zhao Deji saw his eyes like this, and didn't talk about other things, just said: "Not only Pengju you, Rong'er also made great contributions this time, I will definitely reward you a lot , give 500 taels of gold and 5000 taels of silver."

Hearing this, Yue Pengju thought that his wife and children would be safe and sound in the harem, so he felt relieved and his appetite increased so much that he ate more than a dozen steamed buns before giving up.

Seeing that he was full, Zhao Deji said: "Although the two thieves Miao and Liu were expelled, Wu Zhan is the worst in the army. He had an affair with the two thieves and bought the little eunuch in the palace to make trouble. Pengju will get rid of this thief for me in the future. There is nothing to worry about..."

Feng Yi heard that the officials would turn against his distant relatives immediately, and he had sworn to Wu Zhan that he would be rich and honored for life. Seeing this, he felt anxious and looked at Zhai Ruwen, hoping that Zhai Ruwen would plead for mercy.How dare Zhai Ruwen speak?Although he knew that the emperor's move was contradictory, but it was a fact that Wu Zhan had an affair with Miao Liu, so he only turned his eyes to one side.

Feng Yi himself did not dare to intercede, and knowing that the emperor suspected that Wu Zhan was having an affair with the eunuch, if he pleaded, not only would he not be successful, but he would never be favored by the emperor in the future, so he had to bow his head and keep silent.

Of course, Yue Pengju didn't know that the emperor had promised Wu Zhan "wealth and honor", and he suspected that Miao Liu's rebellion was in collusion with the Jin people. If Wu Zhan was left in the army, it would be tantamount to planting a Jin man's spy. Said, and promised generously: "Since this is the case, there is no need for the minister to take care of Wu Zhan immediately."

"Wu Zhan is fierce and rebellious, I'm afraid of unexpected events."

"Strike while the iron is hot, it will be inconvenient in the future."

Zhao Deji said excitedly: "It's so good."

After he finished speaking, he took Feng Yi and two guards out of the city and entered the army.Feng Yi was very favored by the emperor. He and Kang Gonggong didn't even look down on Wang Boyan, Huang Qianshan and others, let alone military generals. They were always thorns in their eyes.But for Yue Pengju and Han Zhongliang, he never dared to call and shout, and was cautious and respectful all the way.

Along the way, Yue Pengju was afraid that Feng Yi would tip off the news, so he said to Feng Yi: "This time, Mr. Feng will kill relatives righteously."

Feng Yi had already figured it out at this time, and saw that the imperial army had completely controlled Lin'an City, so he could only keep his own glory and wealth, so he said repeatedly: "My family must obey orders."

At this time, Wu Zhan was returning to the army triumphantly, dreaming of his dream of prosperity and wealth.But seeing Yue Pengju and Feng Yi came together, he was no doubt there, and immediately greeted him warmly.

Yue Pengju smiled and said: "Wu Taiwei, I'm here to join you in commanding the army."

Wu Zhan saw that Yue Pengju's remaining [-] army horses stood in the mud without any fear. The army was very neat and respectful. Well-deserved reputation."

He stretched out his hand and shook hands with Yue Pengju. Yue Pengju smiled, held his hand, and broke his middle finger when he exerted force.Wu Zhan was heartbroken, sweat dripped from his forehead, and when he bowed, Yue Peng kicked him onto the muddy ground with one foot, stepped on his back, and pulled out the saber from his waist.

Several guards immediately came up to grab him and bound him.

Everyone was stunned when they saw this drastic change. Yue Pengju shouted: "Wu Zhan had an affair with Miao Liu, and I captured him under the imperial edict. You are all loyal officers and soldiers. You didn't know the inside story, so you don't blame the past. Each rewarded 8 coins .”

Several of Wu Zhan's cronies were naturally dissatisfied with the deployment, but due to Yue Pengju's military might, they dared not stand up to resist.Wu Zhan turned to Feng Yi and hissed, "You are my relative. You used to protect my prosperity and wealth. How can you say that now?"

Feng Yi had no choice but to say, "You have an affair with Miao Liu, this is the order of the holy driver, and I can't do it."

Knowing that his death was imminent, Wu Zhan yelled: "Zhao Deji, a lone husband and a traitor to the people, did not save his father and brother, and ascended to the throne by himself. His reputation was not justified, which caused Dajin to attack my Dasong repeatedly, and the people were in dire straits. This guy has no faith and no life." Righteousness, reuse Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan, do not listen to the government, and when they fled, they indulged in sensuality and got impotence. Such a bastard who is not as good as an eunuch, what qualifications does he have to be the emperor of the Song Dynasty? He is neither male nor female, and he will die in the future. .This guy has done a lot of evil, has a vicious heart, broke his promise and became fat, and is capricious. If you work hard for him, you won't end well in the future..."

Feng Yi felt that he couldn't listen to him scolding him like this. With a wink, a guard raised his knife and immediately beheaded Wu Zhan.Yue Pengju wanted to take Wu Zhan back for trial, but seeing Feng Yi's first move, he couldn't say anything more.Feng Yi had already had Wu Zhan's head cut off, put it in a box, and brought it back to his command.

Just when Yue Pengju beheaded Wu Zhan, Lu Yihao had already led Zhang Jun and other generals to the hall.At this time, all civil and military officials met with the emperor and saw the face of the sky.

The little emperor had already stood up from the throne and knelt down in front of his father according to the empress dowager's instruction: "Your son is too young to care about state affairs, so I invite you to ascend the throne."

Zhao Deji hugged his son: "In the future, I will follow the example of Grandpa Taishang and pass on the throne to you."

Your Highness, led by Lu Yihao, civil servants and military generals shouted "Long live".Amidst such overwhelming cheers, Zhao Deji was officially restored, and only now did he realize the majesty of the emperor again.

Lu Yihao, Zhang Jun, Han Zhongliang and other great heroes of King Qin naturally became Zhao Deji's most favored objects.He comforted the three good students, and then said: "All the lovers have rewards, and we will celebrate together when Yue Pengju returns."

The three thanked each other and left.

After the courtiers retreated, Zhao Deji couldn't sleep anymore, and celebrated with tea and wine in the apse with all the court ladies. At this time, he was rewarded by a fast horse, saying that Wu Zhan had been beheaded.He looked up to the sky and laughed three times, Wu Jinnu and others all congratulated him.

After a while, Yue Pengju and Feng Yi had returned to the palace.

Zhao Deji did not avoid suspicion, so he personally summoned Yue Pengju in the back hall.

As soon as Yue Pengju knelt down to salute, he immediately helped him up, and said in a deep voice: "Pengju is really my savior, and has saved me from many disasters. This time he killed Wu Zhan's traitor again. He is really a pillar of the country. Pillars of the nation!"

Yue Pengju hurriedly said: "The minister is also relying on His Majesty's blessing."

He couldn't help looking at the crowd in the harem, Zhao Deji knew what he wanted, and said at this moment: "Pengju, Rong'er was unfortunately dispersed by the rebel army when he went to Xian Temple to escort him. Now, I have sent a large army to track down his whereabouts..."

Yue Pengju panicked, and hurriedly asked, "Where's Wenlong's son?"

Zhao Deji let out a long sigh: "There was a traitor in the palace. It was Wu Zhan who had an affair and took the child out of the city. Now he and Rong'er are missing together. I have sent three armies to search..."

Yue Pengju couldn't hold back his breath, he almost spurted blood, he turned around and left without caring about the etiquette of the emperor and his ministers: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I will go find my wife and children immediately."

Zhao Deji watched him retreat hastily, sat on the chair slumped, and murmured to himself: "Although the world is safe, Rong'er is uneasy, what should I do?"

Wu Jinnu, who was standing on the side, immediately comforted him softly: "Mrs. Yue's mother and son are loyal, and they are also loyal to the world and to His Majesty. If anything happens, they should be rewarded generously to show their loyalty..."

Zhang Yingying also said: "The Eucharist Wanan is the foundation of the country. Now I hope Mr. Yue can save Mrs. Yue, mother and child..."

Zhao Deji naturally knew that what the two of them were talking about was nonsense.He relied on Yue Pengju to rescue him, but he couldn't protect Yue Pengju's wife and children. He felt very ashamed, and naturally he couldn't care about Yue Pengju's rudeness.

In the harem, it was also a mess.

The Queen Mother couldn't sit still anymore, Tian Wei's eyes were dim with tears: "Since Mrs. Yue entrusted her son to me, and now he is lost, what should I do?"

The queen mother was worried about the safety of Hua Rong's mother and child, and even more worried about the leak of the secret hidden in her crown dress.Now that Miao Liu was defeated and Zhao Deji was restored, if the secrets in the crown uniform were leaked out, it would be a great disaster.But only she and Tian Wei knew about this matter, they didn't dare to discuss it with Zhao Deji at all, they were so anxious that they couldn't breathe, they almost fainted.

Tianwei hurriedly supported her aunt, and said in a trembling voice, "Auntie, I want to go out of the city to look for it myself."

The queen mother shook her head: "No, you are a weak woman, where can you find it?"

"Master Yue has done a great job in escorting, but his wife and children can't protect him. Doesn't it make the heroes feel cold? Besides, before Madam Yue left the city, she repeatedly told me to take care of Wenlong, but now she disappeared right under my nose. I can't just wait..."

While talking, the maid informed the emperor that he had arrived.

The queen mother and Tianwei couldn't discuss any further, so they had to force themselves to be calm.Zhao Deji led a group of maids in to greet the Queen Mother.The Empress Dowager helped up his nephew, Zhao Deji said gratefully: "Thanks to Auntie this time."
