Poor Family 1

  Chapter 716 The new emperor ascends the throne

  The car door opened, and Tong Guan was escorted down by two soldiers. His headgear had been removed, and the rags in his mouth had been taken out. His face was ashen, his legs were trembling, and he was a little unstable.

  Zhao Huan glanced at Tong Guan, and then smiled at Li Yanqing: "Let Fu Yin worry about it, but Gu is still the East Palace now, and you can't overstep it at will. Please Fu Yin should still be called the East Palace!"

  Li Yanqing nodded, "I obey the order!"

  Li Yanqing immediately ordered: "Untie him!"

  Two soldiers stepped forward and untied Tong Guan. Tong Guan moved his arms a little, and knelt down, "My minister bows to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

  Zhao Huan nodded, "Do you know why Tong Taiwei invited you to the East Palace?"

   "I am guilty of this crime, and I am willing to fully support His Highness's ascension to the throne, in order to atone for the crime of disrespect to His Highness in the past!"

Tong Guan only said that he was willing to support Zhao Huan's ascension to the throne, but he refused to say that he was willing to give up his military power. This really made Li Gang feel dissatisfied. Only then did he realize that Prince Zhao Huan was silent in thought, and he knew that Zhao Huan was a little tempted.

  Li Gang was anxious, and Li Yanqing took Tong Guan to the East Palace with great effort. If he were to be released, it would be a return to the mountain.

  Li Gang hurriedly stepped forward and whispered to Zhao Huan: "This person cannot be trusted, why not deal with it after His Highness ascends the throne!"

After all, Zhao Huan is not a fool, and he also knows that Tong Guan can't believe it, especially when Tong Guan holds the military power, he must deprive him of his military power before thinking about it, so he nodded and said to the guards: "Take Taiwei Tong first. Rest in the other palace, take good care of it, don't be negligent!"

   Several guards agreed, and stepped forward to help Tong Guan, "Please, Taiwei!"

  Tong Guan was forced by the soldiers to get up, followed them unwillingly, passed by Li Yanqing, slowly raised his head, and stared at Li Yanqing viciously with a pair of triangular eyes.

  Li Yanqing snorted coldly, and said dismissively: "Tong Yansi failed to break through and was shot dead on the spot!"

  Tong Guan's face turned pale, his whole body trembled, and he collapsed on the ground, crying bitterly. Several guards forcibly helped him up and took him away.

  At this time, Zhao Huan asked in confusion: "Master Li, what happened?"

Li Yanqing handed a troop transfer gold medal to Zhao Huan, "After Weichen captured Tong Guan, Tong Yansi took the troop troop gold medal and rushed to the North Barracks to besiege the East Palace, but was intercepted by Weichen's men, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides." , Tong Yansi was killed when he broke through."

Zhao Huan received the troop transfer gold medal, and was speechless for a long time. He really wanted to win over Tong Guan for his own use, but he didn't expect Tong Guan to be so resolute. Huan felt disgusted as if swallowing a fly.

At this time, Li Yanqing stepped forward and said to Zhao Huan: "Your Highness, I still serve as the co-magistrate of Jingzhao Mansion. Just the morning before yesterday, I learned that there was a change in the Jin soldiers in Yanshan Mansion, so I ordered the three officers stationed in Shan County Wan Jingzhao's army rushed to the capital to fight against the Jin soldiers, just because they were afraid that if the news leaked out, someone would launch an attack in advance, so I didn't report it for a while, Your Highness, please forgive me!"

  Although Li Yanqing's practice is absolutely taboo in normal times, it is a life-saving news at this time, and Zhao Huan's voice trembled in surprise, "Master Li, is this true?"

   "I dare not hide His Royal Highness, the officials should have this idea, so I retained the position of the co-magistrate of Jingzhao Mansion, so that I can smoothly transfer the Western Army to Beijing."

Zhao Huan was ecstatic at this time, so he didn't care about Li Yanqing's inappropriate details. Just before Li Yanqing arrived, he had just received the news that Gao Li led 30,000 forbidden troops to chase after his father. There are only 30,000 Xiang troops and 30,000 New North troops left in the army. The Xiang army is useless, and the New Bei army is too small. In addition, the 10,000 imperial imperial guards in the palace are not enough. If Li Yanqing's 30,000 Xi troops arrive in time , then there is hope in defending the capital, how can Zhao Huan not be surprised.

   "Your Highness, the most urgent task is to take back the military power of the Xiang army to prevent accidents in the army."

  Zhao Huan looked at the gold medal in his hand, and handed the gold medal to Li Yanqing, "I leave this matter to you."

   "His Royal Highness, if Tong Guan is still there, I am afraid that the gold medal alone is not enough. We must stop their miss."

  Of course Zhao Huan understood what Li Yanqing meant. Li Yanqing wanted to kill Tong Guan himself! It's just that Zhao Huan was slightly hesitant, since he was an important minister after all, Li Yanqing looked into Zhao Huan's eyes and said slowly: "Your Highness, if you want to secure this seat, you must be kind!"

  Zhao Huan's heart was agitated, murderous intent arose, he said coldly: "I know what to do now!"

  He explained a few words to a confidant guard next to him, and the guard left immediately. Zhao Huan decided to get rid of Tong Guan, and that was a matter of a glass of wine.

  At this moment, the sentinel guard shouted: "Your Highness, there are many ministers outside!"

  Zhao Huan glanced at Li Yanqing, Li Yanqing nodded, "Tong Guan is in our hands, the 30,000 Xiang Army will not move for the time being!"

   "Open the palace gate!"

As the palace gate slowly opened, hundreds of court officials walked into the East Palace under the leadership of Cai Jing. Cai Jing knelt down first, and everyone knelt down together. Enthroned!"

   "Welcome Your Majesty to the throne!"

Zhao Huan nodded, raised the edict of abdication in his hand and said loudly: "Father is ill and can no longer bear the affairs of state, so he entrusts the country to Gu, who has little virtue and can't bear this burden, but now In the face of the great enemy, Gu can only focus on the overall situation, temporarily ascend the throne to stabilize the overall situation, and when the situation calms down, Gu will definitely report to the emperor, and ask the emperor to establish another Mingjun!"

It stands to reason that Zhao Huan had to refuse three times before reluctantly accepting the enthronement, but Zhao Huan did not grasp the situation now, there were too many changes outside, and he was also afraid of long nights and dreams, so he agreed to the enthronement after a little humility. Don't dare to act rashly.

   All the ministers were overjoyed, and Cai Jing shouted loudly: "I implore Your Majesty to enter the palace and ascend the throne!"

  Zhao Huan nodded slightly, "Ai Qing according to the public!"

In December of the sixth year of Xuanhe, Zhao Ji abdicated in a hurry while the Jin soldiers went south, and the prince Zhao Huan finally took the long-awaited throne. The Wang family and the current queen Zheng are the empress dowagers, and the crown princess Zhu is also canonized as the queen.

In order to stabilize the situation, Zhao Ji did not make large-scale adjustments to the officials. He just removed Wang Fu and Cai You from the position of Xiangguo, and changed them to Longtuge University Scholars. In terms of political affairs, he entered the Zhizheng Hall as a prime minister, and Li Yanqing was appointed as a special officer, signed a Privy Council officer, and served as the Grand Marshal of Tokyo Bingma.

At night, by a small river about 50 miles north of the capital, more than a hundred soldiers were nervously salvaging items in the river. Thick, in fact, this is normal, the Central Plains will not freeze too thick, and the water of the Yellow River comes from the alpine region, which itself has a deep cold, once it freezes, it will freeze very thick and firm.

  Yan Qing squatted on a big rock, squinting at the thing that was gradually emerging from the water. The white snow reflected the moonlight, and she could see it very clearly at night. It was a big box, which was five feet square and weighed three to four hundred catties.

   "Come out! Come out!" The soldiers exclaimed.

  Yanqing spat out the grass roots in her mouth, walked over quickly, and picked up a large wooden box from the water. Yanqing waved her hand, "The first team stays, and the others go to the surrounding area to be vigilant!"

The soldiers dispersed one after another, and Yan Qing then ordered several soldiers to pry open the large wooden box with iron bars. Inside was a large iron box with a copper lock on it. Yan Qing knocked off the copper lock, opened the lid of the iron box, and the inside The item was tightly wrapped by several layers of oilcloth. At this time, Yan Qing was impatient to peel off the oilcloth. He drew out his sword casually, cut a big hole in the oilcloth, and tore it forcefully. Everyone couldn't open their eyes.

   "It's gold!" Everyone exclaimed.

  Yan Qing picked up a piece of golden gold, which weighed at least ten catties. Yan Qing quickly estimated that this box was about thirty yuan, which was three hundred catties, five thousand taels of gold.

  Yan Qing asked several water ghosts again: "How many such big boxes are there?"

   "Reporting to the general, there are about thirteen sunken ships below, and each sunken ship contained four boxes, so there are about fifty boxes in total."

  Of course not all of them are gold, but there are at least forty boxes, which is two hundred thousand taels of gold! Is this Tong Guan's treasure? Yan Qing was really a little excited.

  At this time, a soldier rushed over, "Report to the general, the spies from the Daming Mansion have returned and said they have urgent information to report."

  Yan Qing nodded, "Bring him up!"

   After a while, a soldier was led up and knelt down on one knee to report: "To Commander Yan, the Jin soldiers of the Daming Mansion are gathering their forces, and there are signs of going south!"
