Chapter 6 Assassination

There are many people who were named kings in the Five Dynasties, such as Fu Yanqing and Gao Xingzhou. However, as long as they die, no one can inherit the title even if it reaches its peak.

Zhao Kuangyin's promise was naturally credible to Shi Shouxin, Li Jixun and others, but for people like Li Chongjin, even if they have iron vouchers for alchemy books, it would be useless.

Xu Xian and Zhao Kuangyin were almost tearing each other ambitions out of their minds at this moment. If he let go of Huainan, which he almost got, his fate might not be much better than Li Chongjin.

"How can you allow others to snore by the bed?" is not a casual statement. Even if Zhao Kuangyin is still reliable, then his good brother is not trustworthy.

Xu Xian looked at Zhao Kuangyin and said with a sincere expression: "Brother Yuanlang is willing to abdicate to me. I will not only give you a king, but also give you half of the palace for you to live in, and you will also give you half of the troops to control you, and you will also give you half of the world to manage. Even when you go to court, you can sit with me and accept congratulations from all officials. The difference between you and me is just the title of the monarch and the ministers, and the others are the same. How about it?

If Brother Yuen Long is still attached to the emperor's honor, we can be the emperor together. If you sit in the world on a single day, and if I sit in the world on two days, I can't say that I can still achieve a legend that will last forever and be talked about by future generations, haha..."

Zhao Kuangyin and Pan Mei were both dumbfounded when they heard this. Zhao Kuangyin slapped his thigh and scolded: "I have a lot of mouths, and there is no two days, but the country has no two masters. Your statement is really absurd."

"How can you know whether it's okay if you don't try it? I'm sincere and I'm more generous than Brother Yuen Long and more considerate of my brother's righteousness!"

Zhao Kuangyin snorted heavily and said, "But you don't care about the righteousness of the monarch and the ministers. If you say such words, no emperor can behead you on the spot."

Xu Xian sneered and said, "Brother Yuanlang talks to me about the righteousness of the monarch and subjects. Don't you feel embarrassed to blush?"

Zhao Kuangyin was stunned when he heard this, and his black face turned red. It is indeed the one who cares the least about the righteousness of the monarch and ministers in the Song Dynasty. After all, he even robbed the throne of the old lord. He sighed: "Oh..., when I had not taken the world, I could only take it. Now that I have won the world, can't I let me give it up?"

This is wrong. Xu Xian is not Li Shoujie. He asked back: "Your Majesty is rich now. Why are you so stingy to your brothers and you refuse to give it to me even if you are Huainan, Hebei?"

Zhao Kuangyin's face turned red, but he didn't know what to say after all, he was really unreasonable. After a long time, he said: "I really want to do my own thing? I'm not afraid that I will fight to Yangzhou!"

"Instead of attacking Yangzhou, we should not return to Tokyo like this. After all, His Majesty has just ascended the throne for a while, and the foundation has not been stabilized and has not been conquered. If he was defeated in Yangzhou, he would be afraid that he would take advantage of it. Why would you and my brother fight to make a profit from outsiders? "

Zhao Kuangyin snorted coldly, "Yes, I can't do anything to you now. Will you think about it in the future if you know how to be idle? I can stabilize the situation in just one or two years!"

"Before Brother Yuen Long stabilizes the situation, please remember to inform the world of Hebei and Huainan to me to manage it, and then get me a bunch of nice titles to reward me for supporting me, otherwise I will raise my troops to rebel!"

"You!" Zhao Kuangyin's forehead rushes, and he subconsciously touches his waist but is empty.

Xu Xian seemed to have not seen it, and suffused into the spout, "Ha--Good wine! If I am defeated, I will give Li Jing, Qian Chu, Meng Chang, and the emperor of the Han Dynasty in Lingnan. Anyway, I will give him one."

When Zhao Kuangyin heard this, his shoulder suddenly collapsed, as if he had ejaculated, and his face turned red and turned back, "Okay, you won this time, but I really met in the future, so don't blame me for not showing mercy."

"If I cannot die under the sword of Brother Yuen Long, I can't blame anyone, but if I really get through, I will definitely treat Brother Yuen Long and your family well."

Zhao Kuangyin said angrily: "Hmph, let's talk about it when I die. Why don't you get back to Yangzhou soon!"

"Then I will take my leave. Your Majesty must not be angry anymore, so as not to hurt the dragon's body!"

Seeing Xu Xian get off the boat and go away, Zhao Kuangyin breathed a long sigh. There are many people who want to be emperors in this era, and it is not even too taboo. Not to mention the governors who hold military power, even the soldiers dare to enjoy their mouths. However, no one has ever said in front of the current emperor that Xu Xian is probably the first one, but Zhao Kuangyin still has no choice but to do anything to him.

"I'll tell you what to do in the future!" He turned his head and looked at Pan Mei, "Let's turn around and go back. Today's words are in your ears, don't let the third person know."

Pan Mei asked back, "What do you mean?"

Zhao Kuangyin sneered, "If I know that I am as tactful as you, why should I do it? Well, Zhongxun thinks what if I want to re-incorporate Huainan into the rule in the future?"

Pan Mei called the boatman onto the boat and turned the bow and headed north. Then she replied: "There are many ways. I don't know what the official wants?"

"Haha..." Zhao Kuangyin laughed and said, "No wonder Zhongxun Dacai was attracted by Emperor Shizong. I have no choice but to do anything about it. Zhongxun actually has many ways. I want the easiest way. It is best to have a soldier without bloodshed. It is best to ask Xu Xian to go to Beijing to apologize and serve him in Huainan."

"This is easy. The government only needs to incorporate land outside Huainan into its rule. Xu Xian will definitely go to Beijing to apologize. Whether to kill or scrape it is decided by the government."

Zhao Kuangyin cursed: "You are not the easiest way, it is obviously the most difficult road!"

"The more difficult the road is, the more stable and stable you will be. Your Majesty will not be able to accept it soon after he ascended the throne. Only by expanding territory can people convince them."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said, "It makes sense!"

After landing on the dock, Zhao Kuangyin immediately led the elite cavalry back. He was not afraid that Xu Xian would have the courage and strength to fight Xu Xian, and he believed that he had a great chance of victory.

But he was afraid that Xu Xian would be able to kill him and spread the thunder-killing method. At that time, there would be no jackals, tigers and leopards beside his bed, but a group of evil dragons with fangs and claws. Even if the Central Plains are strong, there will be no scumbags left.

He galloped all the way, but in just a few days he arrived in Tokyo. Zhao Pu, who stayed in Tokyo, immediately greeted the city with all the officials. Knowing that Zhao Kuangyin was blocked on the north bank of the Huai River, Zhao Pu felt even more unhappy than Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin's return was like a disguised recognition of Xu Xian's separatist rule in Huainan. Xu Xian would become a confidant in the future.

The one who was even more unhappy than Zhao Pu was Zhao Guangyi. In addition to being unhappy, Zhao Guangyi was also a little scared. The brother who was extremely powerful in his heart could not do anything to Xu Xian. If he one day took the position of his brother, how would he face it? At this moment, he regretted not sending Shi San to report to Xu Xian, and in the end he actually smashed himself in the foot.

Seeing Zhao Kuangyin approaching, Fan Zhi led all the officials to bow to the ground and shouted, "I will return with great victory!"

Fan Zhi did not call him wrong. Zhao Kuangyin led his army south, and the banner he used was not to deal with Xu Xian, but to wipe out the remnants of Li Chongjin's non-existent forces. Now that Huainan is completely pacified, it is naturally a great victory.

Zhao Kuangyin smiled and said, "I am not in the capital. All my dear friends are responsible for the complicated military and political affairs. Today I am here to welcome me again and ask me to be grateful. Let's go to the palace with me to have a banquet!"

The ministers hurriedly thanked each other, and there was a happy scene between the king and the ministers. Zhao Pu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty must have worked very hard for days. I have prepared a royal chariot for the official family. The official family should take a car to enter the palace."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go into the palace by car!"

He said as he got off the horse and got up. The carriage was extremely spacious. When Zhang Dejun saw Zhao Kuangyin coming in, he immediately brought the tea. Zhao Kuangyin drank it clean and ordered: "Don't let me off the armor, relax quickly!"

Zhang Dejun immediately took off Zhao Kuangyin's cloak with another little eunuch and helped him remove the armor. It was troublesome to wear the armor, and it was not easy to take it off. It took a cup of tea to go.

The two eunuchs took out the dragon robe and prepared to replace it for Zhao Kuangyin, but Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand and said, "No hurry, it's not too late to change it when I get off the bus, so let me cool down!"

The car passed through the outer city and entered the inner city. After crossing the Shuqiao, it arrived at the most prosperous street in Tokyo. The cavalry opened the road ahead, and the vendors on the street avoided it. They stood by the street and looked at the emperor's upcoming frame.

Thanks to Chai Rong's widening of the streets back then, the emperor's wide imperial chariot and the large number of guards on both sides only accounted for half of the streets. Zhao Kuangyin reached out to the curtain of the car. He wanted to see what was happening outside, especially what the people looked like at this moment.

Before his hand touched the curtain, he could vaguely hear a faint sound of breaking through the air. He subconsciously shrank to a corner of the carriage, and saw a sharp arrow penetrate the workshop and shoot into the carriage. A eunuch could not dodge the sharp arrow and entered the chest. The eunuch opened his eyes and made a strange sound in his throat, and then fell down.

Zhang Dejun was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed a harsh scream, "There are assassins! There are assassins! Protect Your Majesty quickly!"

His voice was already sharp, and he shouted like he was about to shake the human eardrum. Zhao Kuangyin slapped him over and got up and lifted the curtain and went out.

I saw that there was already a mess outside. The soldiers held up their shields and surrounded the imperial chariot. A large number of infantry pointed guns at passers-by and shops on both sides of the street. Zhang Qiong shouted loudly: "Let me keep a close eye on me. Among these people, don't tell them to run away."

Suddenly, I saw Zhao Kuangyin wearing a small suit on the shaft of the carriage and rushed over, "What are you standing here? Go back to the carriage!"

Zhao Kuangyin said, "Don't search for assassins, just let them shoot me!"

He said as he pulled open his little shirt, patted his strong chest covered with chest hair with his hands and shouted around: "Cum! I'm standing here! Come and shoot me! Don't sneak in! Come to me and shoot you openly!"

Seeing this, Zhang Qiong was frightened and was about to get in the car to push Zhao Kuangyin back, but Zhao Kuangyin kicked him down and still patted his chest and shouted loudly around him.

When Lao Zhang saw the soldiers below aiming at him with a crossbow, he quickly retracted his neck and scolded the two young people behind him: "What a fun thing to watch? If you two are taken away as assassins, no one can save you."

Erzhuzi said: "It's not our ejaculation, what's there to be afraid of?"

"What do you know? This kind of thing is always a waste of mercy than torture. Even if it is not your torture, you have to admit it honestly."

"It's okay, we can find Dalang's wife as a guarantee, she is the eldest princess."

"Are you confused? The one outside is the emperor, and her brother will not look at you. Hurry up and sit down and continue to have a meal. After the meal, I will talk to you both! "

Hearing the shouts outside disappeared, Lao Zhang looked through the crack in the window and saw that the emperor had returned to the frame. The coachman shouted and continued to move forward, but the many soldiers did not capture a single person, as if the assassination incident had not happened just now.

Lao Zhang said, "This man has some stubbornness, no wonder he can become emperor."

Erzhuzi said: "The emperor is Dalang's righteous brother, of course, not an ordinary person!"

"What do you know about the little doll? Eat yours."

Erzhuzi rubbed the back of his head, "How could Uncle Zhang treat customers like this?"

"What kind of guest are you? I brought you to have a drink to make you do things well."

Hu Zheng said: "Mr. Zhang just tells me and you to drink wine if you have something to do."

Erzhuzi said, "It must not be a good thing, otherwise I would have taken us to Changle Tower. I guess I was afraid that my mother would know."

"I've finally been smart!"

"Uncle Zhang, please tell me, are you asking us to collect debts for you or accompany you to the brothel?"

"I'm so old and I have some pickled things in my mind. I'll just say it. There are already many graduates in the school. See how many people are still in the army..."

"No need to see, there are still 285 people who have completed their careers and have not joined the army. I just organized a party a while ago, and I am a clear-minded person. Why do Uncle Zhang do so many people? "

"I hope you little kids can do something big, I want you to take these people to Yangzhou with the merchant ship."

"Are you going to find Dalang?"

Lao Zhang nodded and said, "Didn't you keep saying that you want to serve under him? Now is the time!"

"Take it seriously? But what if they don't want to follow?"

"That depends on your ability! If you can bring five, you will be the sergeant commander, if you can lead ten, you will be the team leader. If you can bring one hundred, you will be the head of the capital!"

Erzhuzi was overjoyed and slapped the table and said, "One word is certain!"

The sudden assassination incident made Zhao Kuangyin feel a little disappointed. It seems that many people who oppose him are just hiding in the dark. He is a little lucky that he did not fight with Xu Xian. If he delays for a long time, he will inevitably change in the capital.

Without the interest in holding a banquet, he went to the Martial Arts Hall alone, and a group of important officials came to express their condolences. Zhao Kuangyin said indifferently: "I'm fine, Mr. Fan, you are very literary. Please draw an imperial edict here."

"What will I do, I will listen carefully!"

Zhao Kuangyin stroked his beard and said, "Xu Xian supported him and made great contributions to suppressing the rebellion. He was appointed Duke of Yan, prosecutor and chief magistrate, and was the governor of Huainan. The three prefectures and seventeen counties seized by the Liao Kingdom, as well as Henghai, and Huainan military and political affairs were all under his jurisdiction."
