Chapter 911 Add fuel to the fire
This is the first time that Zhao Bing has encountered such a gangster's street in this era, so he thought that under his rule, it was already a peaceful and prosperous era where he would not close his doors at night. Unexpectedly, when the brigade traveled today, he encountered this bloody incident. His imperial guards all carried their own logo, especially the guard camp was wearing unique black military uniforms. People with eyes in the capital knew that anyone who saw it would give in a little, but today this guy dared to seek trouble. He was either a fool or had some power.
"Let go, don't hurt people!" Zhao Bing knew Ni Liang's power, and looked at his attitude to throw people out. If it was true, that guy would be half disabled even if he was not dead. He would not dare to offend anyone who had his feet easily, so he hurriedly stopped him.
"Get out, dare to come here to find trouble, don't you know how to die?" Ni Liang was unwilling to let go of the servants and shouted, but this time, he couldn't stand it. He staggered back several steps before he stood firm.
"Report to the fifth young master, this man led the crowd to rush into the marching army. Bei Zhi came forward to dissuade him. He accidentally knocked over the lamp bowl on his head and burned his hair. Bei Zhi helped him to put out the fire and compensate him, but they still refused to give in and blocked the road." The officers in charge of opening the road knew that when His Majesty was unwilling to reveal his identity, they were called the fifth young master, and he bowed.
"Xu Feng, do you know who they are?" Zhao Bing felt that these people seemed to be trying to cause trouble on purpose, but what he couldn't figure out was how brave he was and dared to use his guards to attack him, so he asked in confusion.
"Reported to the fifth young master, he doesn't know this person in a humble position. He should be a new powerful man. Others in the capital dare not provoke the guard camp." Xu Feng replied.
"Oh, that's interesting. Be careful to prevent anyone from taking advantage of loopholes!" Zhao Bing felt strange. He was so stupid that he was provoking his guards, not knowing where he was determined.
"I know you, others are afraid of you, the commander of the imperial guards, but I am not afraid of you. Now you have injured me and beat my husband's follower in the street. Today I will give you an explanation!" The guy with hair burned up at this time, put his hair on the back of his head, tied his hair up with a brocade belt, shook the folding fan and pointed at Ni Liang with his fingers.
"No matter who you are, you dare to stop the brigade from marching in the street, and act as military law!" Who is Ni Liang? He would not take any position you hold except the emperor in his eyes. Besides, he was a marquis who didn't know, and he reached out to bring a knife.
"You dare to despise the Lord. I am the Marquis of Xianping personally appointed by Your Majesty. The current uncle is not something you can be humiliated by your army. Just wait for this Marquis to return to report to the Empress, and I will imprison you tomorrow!" The man was not afraid and stepped forward and walked forward.
"Young Master, look..." Ni Liang looked up and down, but didn't recognize him. However, he did not take action after hearing his own report. Instead, he scratched his scalp and turned his face to ask the little emperor.
"I'm rude, I wonder which marquis is?" Zhao Bing was even more confused when he heard this. He married six wives in one go and granted his children as usual, but he didn't know which brother-in-law or brother-in-law he was. He also knew that Marquis Xianping was just a county marquis, which was still apart from Ni Liang. He dared to challenge him, but he relied on his identity as a national uncle. He took a lantern and reached his face to look carefully and asked.
"The first-level soldier dares to be so rude to me!" That guy was not an ignorant person, but he still recognized the middle-class class. Seeing that Zhao Bing was wearing a light-plate uniform without any signs, he thought he was still a newly enlisted soldier, but he didn't know that this was the only one in the army, so he waved his hand and knocked the lantern down the road.
"Marquis Xianping has such a big temper. Do you know that this is at the foot of the emperor. We are the guards of Your Majesty. You are so arrogant. I am afraid that your Majesty will lose face!" Zhao Bing hurriedly stepped forward and stomped the burning lantern and asked coldly.
"My Wu family has assisted the Song Dynasty for generations and is famous in Jiangnan. If I had not married my sister as my queen, how could he gain a foothold in Jiangnan and how could he be in power? It was clearly my Wu family who gave him the face!" The man stepped forward and came to Zhao Bing and said with a treacherous smile, and the followers behind him laughed even more presumptuously when they heard this.
"Oh, it turns out that the Queen Xianping is the queen's brother. I'm really disrespectful. It seems that you will have to take care of your Wu family more in the future!" Zhao Bing wiped off the spit on his face and bowed his fists.
"Hmph, as long as Tong Ni bows down to apologize to this marquis, I will no longer pursue this matter. Otherwise, I will tell the Empress to be disrespectful and disrespectful!" The Marquis Xianping snorted coldly and said arrogantly.
"Is that so? I want to see which Queen dares to cure?" Zhao Bing straightened his body and asked in a deep voice.
"What a brave man, he dared to speak wildly and despise the Queen... Ouch!" Xianping Hou didn't expect that the soldier would dare to provoke him repeatedly. He couldn't help but be furious and knocked him at Zhao Bing with the folding fan in his hand. But what he didn't expect was that the "soldier" was even more arrogant than him. He grabbed the fan that was hit by him with his left hand, and whipped the horse whip with his right hand and knocked him to the ground.
"Beat... I will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be the one who will be beaten!" Xianping Hou didn't know how many whips he had been, but only knew that the pain was piercing, and he couldn't help but yelled in anger.
"Fight!" The task of the guard camp is to protect the emperor's safety. Those who can enter the guard camp are junior officers carefully selected by various departments. At least they have served as the commander. Not only are they strong in military quality, but they can also be good at fists and kicks. Those who don't know how to practice will not be ambiguity. The most important thing is to be loyal to Your Majesty and dare to sacrifice your life to protect the emperor when they are in danger. In addition, they must absolutely obey orders. As long as the emperor gives the order, no matter what is in front of him, no matter what is important officials in the court, royal relatives, or even the queen, the queen, cannot be ambiguous. If you want to kill, you cannot let him live.
Seeing a group of people heading straight for the little emperor, the officers and soldiers of the Guards would not care about you, a small county marquis, and the uncle was no longer a big deal, and immediately met him when he heard the order. The men and soldiers of the Guards quickly collided together. The officers and soldiers of the Guards all had practical experience, had seen blood, killed people, and were well-trained. Those servants might be good at fighting on the street, but they would not help but have weak legs when they met the officers and soldiers. Moreover, the other side had many people and had no head at all. Even if one person poked them and had a finger, they could kill them, so they were timid before the fight.
"You really want to die. I will come to the palace to face the saint and punish you!" In this case, it is not difficult to judge the result. In just a blink of an eye, a group of people from the Xianping Marquis' Mansion had been overturned to the ground and curled up on the ground and dared not move again, so as not to anger the other party and be beaten again. However, the Xianping Marquis was still dissatisfied and yelled to Gao Yu to act.
"Haha..." Hearing that he wanted to sue the imperial court, the group of people in the guard camp were amused, and even Zhao Bing was so angry that he couldn't laugh or cry. He had seen such a stupid guy, and even cried, he couldn't find the right temple gate.
"Marty Xianping, you have not apologized for a crime yet!" Seeing that the little emperor had gone for a while, the road had not yet opened, Lu Xiufu hurried to check in front of him. When he happened to hear what he said, he was shocked. He secretly scolded that the Marty Xianping was really ignorant of death. The little emperor was about to return to the palace to be held accountable. When he said this, wouldn't it be like adding fuel to the fire? Seeing that the little emperor's face was sunk, he hurriedly stopped.
"I don't know if I want to forgive me!" However, the Marquis of Xianping recognized Lu Xiufu, and when he saw him speak, he quickly stepped forward and bowed deeply.
"You stop the sage and don't apologize!" Lu Xiufu complained even more when he saw this. The little emperor was by his side and he didn't know him. He saluted him instead. He even wanted to get rid of his relationship with the Wu family, but he could only urge him to apologize.
"Left Prime Minister, is Your Majesty in the team?" Xianping Hou was a little scared when he heard this. He looked around and said, but he didn't know the real person in front of him.
"Who is here to prevent the passage of the marching brigade? Not to let go!" Just in this matter, a group of yamen runners pushed the crowd away and squeezed in. He shouted first, but he saw the situation clearly and immediately bowed to Zhao Bing, "Your Majesty, it is not good for me to protect my subordinates, so I will punish you!"
"No gift!" Zhao Bing seemed to be Cai Wanyi, the governor of Lin'an Prefecture, raised his hand and said, "Prince Cai, this person is falsely claiming to be the Marquis of Xianping. His current uncle not only stops my conduct, but also speaks disrespectful words. What should he be guilty of?"
"Your Majesty, you should be killed!" Cai Wanyi said without hesitation.
"Kill!" Zhao Bing nodded, and said softly, even though he couldn't even look at it, Xianping Hou, who was already scared to the point of being ashamed of earth.
"Subordinate obey the order!" After Cai Wanyi gave a tribute, he immediately ordered the Marquis of Xianping and all the dog-legged men to take down. Although the yamen runners were not as good as the guards in war, they could not match the guards' emergency, and the people were even more afraid of these yamen runners. They immediately shouted and drove away the crowd with sticks and rods, and quickly opened the ground. A team of yamen soldiers acted as executioners to press the tied people on the ground and prepared to kill them.
"Your Majesty, please help me!" The reflex arc of Xianping Hou was a little too long. When the knife pressed his neck, he realized that the soldier was the real dragon and kept begging.
"Your Majesty, it is not a big deal for those who don't know. It is understandable that the Marquis of Xianping did not know His Majesty's true face and spoke rudely. Besides, today is the eve of the Yuan Dynasty. People gathered together. It is always unlucky to kill people on the street on this beautiful night. It is better to deal with it after the festival!" Lu Xiufu kept calling Marquis of Xianping a fool, but he knew that this matter was related to the queen, and even the trend of the court, so he had to bite the bullet and plead with mercy.
"Your Majesty, hundreds of thousands of people are rushing to the Imperial Street today. At this moment, the execution of prisoners is afraid of causing panic. When the riots are apart, it will be difficult to suppress them. It is better to be executed at the right time!" Cai Wanyi thought about it and went forward.
"Yeah!" Zhao Bing saw that the Imperial Street was blocked in just a while. As Cai Wanyi said, once the people fled first, a stampede would inevitably occur. Think about it, "Take them to the palace gate and show them to the public to serve as a warning, and then interrogate carefully and ask who was instructing him and who gave him such courage!"
"Yes, my subordinates obey the order!" Cai Wanyi politely said, and then commanded the yamen runners to escort the prisoners while leading troops to clear the way...
With the assistance of the Lin'an Government yamen runners, the team began to move forward slowly again, and their moods were different at this time. Zhao Bing's anger at this moment, after experiencing what had just happened, it can be said that it was superimposed again. A small marquis of Xianping dared to speak wildly, and even dared to let his personal army chief kowtow to him and apologize. The one he relied on was nothing more than the queen, and more appropriate was the mixed forces behind the Wu family.
This has to aroused Zhao Bing's vigilance. A huge family of foreign relatives is a serious threat to the imperial power. On the other hand, what makes him unhappy is that he dared to say that he was relying on him to stabilize Jiangnan, otherwise it would be impossible to even take charge of power. He did not believe that the Wu family had such ability and courage, but from the words and deeds of this person, it was impossible to rule them out that they had such thoughts. He knew that once his thoughts came up with his life, he would gradually form self-psychological hints, thinking that he was the master of the country, and he would inevitably take action as his ambitions expanded.
Zhao Bing knew that if he wanted to gain a foothold in Jiangnan, he certainly needed the support of the scholar group. Marriage was the quickest way, but at the same time it was accompanied by increased risks. Once the relatives of the outside world entered the court and colluded with the court officials, it was possible to form a back party, which threatened the imperial power and even replaced the imperial power. It can be said that he had cultivated a potential enemy for himself. This is the reason why the royal family of the Song Dynasty had always banned the relatives from serving as prime ministers, and it was also because he had always opposed political marriages - he had to pay it back when he came out.
However, Lu Xiufu looked forward with anxiety on his face, and asked his relatives from time to time, as if he was looking forward to something. In fact, today he went to the martial arts school to invite His Majesty back to the palace, and was worried that the little emperor would go to the "extreme" and would use force to achieve innovation, hoping that the transition could be completed in a peaceful way and would not cause turmoil in the court.
When Lu Xiufu found out that the young emperor had been back for many days, but was discussing with the generals how to deal with the current enemy situation, he still breathed a sigh of relief. However, he did not expect that a lantern festival caused the situation to take a sharp turn, causing the little emperor to explode, and he actually wanted to go back to the palace to blame the queen. He also knew that the young emperor's marriage with the Wu family was not a one-on-one effort, but it was also a force. But it was not for self-interest, but just hoped to win over the scholars of Jiangnan through marriage with the Wu family and old officials in Jiangnan, and at the same time, he could draw talents from it and contribute to the country.
