Chapter 244: Take the burden
In the front office of the Hall of the Palace, the military generals were rushing over one after another, but Zhang Yongde was no longer here.
Zhao Kuangyin, who had a black face, sat in the lobby for a while, his heart was filled with anger and sadness, and a feeling of being betrayed. Four years ago, Zhang Yongde transferred Zhao Kuangyin from Kaifeng Prefecture to the Imperial Army. He trusted each other and killed the enemy side by side in the Battle of Gaoping. After the war, Zhang Yongde spared no effort to ask for credit for him... The past scenes were as if they were yesterday.
But at this critical moment, when Zhang Yongde was most needed, he disappeared! Zhang Yongde and the commander of the left wing wing went to the Guanhe Army camp together, saying that he wanted to send someone to the palace to ask what happened? What else is there to ask now! He hurriedly left the office of the Palace Front Office and hid in the Guanhe Army camp to do what?
As expected, everyone flew away when the disaster was coming! Zhang Yongde must have realized the danger and was unwilling to take risks in adversity. It was the best plan... Zhao Kuangyin thought to himself: I am treating you as a brother, and I respect you very much. Is this how you play tricks with me?
At this moment, Zhao Pu and Shi Shouxin brought a group of military generals to the outside of the lobby. Before Zhao Kuangyin could figure out what to do, he stood up and left the lobby. When Zhao Pu saw him, he followed quickly. The two walked to the signing room behind the lobby. Zhao Pu closed the door and asked quickly, "Where is Zhang Yongde?"
"Run away." Zhao Kuangyin said bluntly, putting the package in his hand on the table and pushing it, "You can help me keep this thing, it's useless."
Zhao Pu looked dark and was stunned, and he was also frowning.
Kuang Yin said again: "We have to leave the Palace Front Office quickly. It is possible that the 'rebels' have entered the imperial city now."
"Does of generals have come, or... the lord might assemble the throne and become emperor here!" Zhao Pu showed a crazy look, "I'll ask Shi Shouxin and others to help me. I'll put the yellow robe on the lord in a while, and most of the others will be entangled!"
When Kuangyin heard this, his lips twitched. In this world where military generals replaced the imperial power for five dynasties, there are examples of experience and examples. Zhao Kuangyin was already the second general of the Zhou Dynasty two years ago, with only Zhang Yongde (Li Chong had no chance to enter the foreign town)... In this case, Zhao Kuangyin never thought that the huge temptation was impossible. But some things seemed to be close, but they were actually out of reach.
"What's the use?" Kuang Yin shook his head.
Zhao Pu said anxiously: "Then, let these generals coming, ask them to return to the camp to gather their troops!"
Kuang Yin did not care about the sadness, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "Send someone to the west of the imperial city immediately. The road to the south is not easy to walk, so take a detour from the north of the imperial city. Be sure to confirm that the 'rebels' have entered the imperial city! Xihuamen is a strong fortification in times of crisis, and it is also very laborious and time-consuming to attack."
Zhao Pu hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "I'll find someone right away."
Kuang Yin was still very rational and calm in the crisis, and he did not panic. He nodded and said, "Send my personal soldiers to see the situation. When you get the news, you ask them to report directly to the first army of the Iron Cavalry left wing. You can't stay here. I'm going to find Shi Shouxin, Wang Shenqi, and Han Chongyun, and ask them to take the generals of the Iron Cavalry to go directly to the barracks to discuss matters. Apart from the Iron Cavalry, other people are even more difficult to order now."
"You must take the things well." Kuang Yin pointed at the bag that Zhao Pu was holding. This thing has become a useless bag now.
Kuang Yin quickly made a judgment on the situation in front of him: Zhang Yongde took a step first, so he naturally could not chase him to the left wing of the Crane Army to force him to take office; after supporting the emperor outside the imperial city, the plan to mobilize the army was no longer feasible. (Zhao Kuangyin did not dare to move a small number of troops, the other side was dispatched; if there were few people, there was no name to incite the morale of the army, and there was no effect at all. The key was to mobilize the army.)
It is completely unnecessary to become an emperor by yourself. At present, this situation is to actively become a living target for all the imperial guards; since Zhang Yongde is gone, there is no way to launch an army in the name of quelling the rebellion, and the best choice is to be the best choice.
After he figured out these things, he was ready to face the reality and walked out of the signing room with Zhao Pu.
At this moment, a general suddenly came up and clasped his fists and said, "Report to General Zhao, Wang Pu has brought people to the yamen office."
Zhao Kuangyin was shocked and immediately asked, "How many people have you brought?"
"Dozens of horses." replied the general.
After hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin let out a breath and hurriedly asked Zhao Pu to go out together. At this time, all the generals in the lobby ran to the door of the government office, and someone was talking loudly outside.
When he arrived outside the door, he saw dozens of cavalry guarding the Privy Councilor Wang Pu, and several eunuchs were in front of him. Wang Pu shouted: "I brought the imperial edict and the Privy Council military order. Where is Zhang Yongde in front of the palace?"
Someone shouted: "Zhang Dujian went to the left wing of the He Army."
"Zhao Kuangyin, the commander in front of the palace, Shi Yanchao, the commander in each box, come out to obey the order!" Wang Pu did not seem to plan to enter the yamen office.
At this time, everyone gave in and exposed Zhao Kuangyin from the back of the crowd. And although Shi Yanchao was in the crowd, he was the tallest, taller than one or half of the head around him, and very conspicuous.
In this situation, Zhao Kuangyin had to bite the bullet and go forward and said, "Is Zhao here."
The eunuch was about to come forward to announce the eunuch, but Wang Pu reached out to stop the eunuch and immediately stepped forward and said, "The Privy Council ordered the rewards of all generals..." Then he read the list of promotion awards for the military generals in the front of the palace.
At this time, Zhao Pu asked: "I heard that there were rebels attacking the imperial city. Has the rebels occupied the imperial city? Whose order is under?"
Wang Pu calmly shouted: "Who told you that it was a rebel! The official family personally agreed before the collapse of the emperor. Yang Shiliang, the official servant, was a close confidant of the official family, and I and others were also present... The queen issued an order to supervise the country. In order to strengthen the defense of the imperial city, the queen mobilized people and horses; the army entered the imperial city and acted accordingly, what was the rebel? If there was no imperial order of the queen and the military order of the Privy Council, the unauthorized army was to plot against the rebellion and rebellion!"
At this time, Zhao Pu shouted: "The troops and horses have entered the imperial city. As long as the officials don't come to issue an order in person, how can everyone know whether the imperial edict means the official? Is the queen supervising the country according to the order? Maybe you have held the official by force and issued an order forbidden edict!"
It sounds really reasonable, maybe the fact is that... But Wang Pu actually "hummed" and gave the imperial edict, imperial edict, and military order to a eunuch, and then took the horse and left. He ignored Zhao Pu at all, and did not argue with him.
It was very embarrassing to leave Zhao Pu standing there, as if he had punched him in the air and was despised and abandoned by others.
Seeing this, Zhao Kuangyin felt that Zhao Pu and Wang Pudou were still much worse! He just fought with an ordinary civilian and a fierce general, and even half of the move could not match.
The Privy Councilor came to send imperial edicts and military orders in person, suspecting that they were fake? Since the Privy Councilor could have imposed edicts to help the queen, wouldn’t it be more proof that the queen has already controlled the situation and power... What is the difference between fake or real?
The generals were already talking. A few people had strange red lights on their faces, and they were a few people who suddenly established a festival.
Jianjie, Jiedu! After the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, the power and fame of the name Jiedushi soared. Until recently, it has been famous for two hundred years. Anyone who is a military general, a vocal jingzheng is a symbol of identity and status! Others should be a few polite words!
Since the Zhou Dynasty, the power of the Jiedushi has been greatly weakened and restricted. Except for the northwest, several towns in Hedong and Hebei, there is some strength, while other Jiedushi have no strength. In particular, the imperial guards and the Jiedushi are mostly remote leaders who receive salaries, which is equivalent to the kings and princes enfeoffed since the Tang Dynasty, and there is no actual fiefdom... But these cannot completely eliminate the enthusiasm of the generals for the Jiedushi. What everyone wants is status, identity, and dignity!
It is not easy for anyone who builds a festival to make real great achievements or accumulate several generations. Now, it is a festival that is built at once, not to mention the reliable channels such as the imperial edicts and the military orders of the Privy Council from the palace, even if it is just a dream, everyone wants to stay in the dream for a while.
...Zhao Kuangyin was also stunned, and a thought came to his mind: How long has it been since he heard the sound of horse hooves? Has it been half an hour? Maybe there is, but it is definitely less than an hour.
It took only half an hour for the queen to fully control the situation! Every step is exquisite and perfect, and every step is simple, direct and effective! With bold, violent and fast approaches, it is full of delicate style.
Sweat beads soaked on Zhao Kuangyin's forehead, and he suddenly remembered the thunderous methods of Emperor Chai Rong before and after the Battle of Gaoping; and now this woman is not inferior to Chai Rong, and it is even more terrifying!
Even if the Queen of the Talisman was his mortal enemy, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly felt a sense of awe. He felt that his most mistake was to be an enemy of the Queen of the Talisman!
But Zhao Kuangyin felt that his strength was actually greater than that of the Fuhou Party, and he was still a little unwilling for a while. His mood was so complicated that it was extremely chaotic in an instant.
The eunuchs outside were still there to recite the imperial edicts and imperial edicts. Everyone seemed to be intoxicated by the benefits of reaching and very real, and were still listening there. Zhao Kuangyin ignored the eunuch's imperial edict and quickly left the door of the yamen and said to Zhao Pu: "No need to send someone to investigate. I will immediately call my personal soldiers to prepare horses and leave the office of the front office of the Palace Front. Guo Shao's men must have captured the palace city, and forced the ministers of the two imperial palaces to follow the queen."
Zhao Kuangyin said to a follower's general: "Go and call Shi Shouxin, Wang Shenqi and Han Chongyun in."
Soon after, the three of them entered. Zhao Kuangyin simply said, "The entire imperial guards rewarded him, but there were no few of us. How many of us do you think the traitor would let his brothers go?"
Shi Shouxin and others frowned and speechless.
Zhao Kuangyin said, "Follow me, let's go to the first army base of the left cavalry. In the military camp, they dare not force it for a while."
