Chapter 634: Chaos in Tokyo, Restoration of Zhao Ji (7)
Chapter 634 Tokyo chaos, Zhao Ji restored (7)
Author: Geyu
Luoyang is actually a very important city for Dayan.
Especially influence and strategic position.
It is crucial.
Therefore, the abnormal movements in Luoyang spread throughout Henan at the first time, shaking the surrounding prefectures.
The 27 members of the Zhao Song royal family, led by Zhao Ji, the eighth son of the former Emperor Huizong of Song, and Zhao Qi, the former King of Yi, raised an army in Luoyang and raised the banner of rebelling against Yan and restoring Song.
Luoyang prefect Sun Fulin and dozens of Yan officials were killed, and Luoyang was trapped in the hands of Zhao.
Immediately, the Zhao clan clan of Luoyang jointly issued a manifesto, respecting Zhao Ji as the emperor, Zhao Kui as the crown prince, and Luoyang as the capital. He claimed to have 100,000 troops and horses, and ordered the world to serve the king and re-establish the Song Dynasty.
In fact, the Zhao clan only occupied one Luoyang city, with thousands of soldiers under his command.
The emergency military newspaper arrived in Kaifeng later the next day.
Wu Song was furious and urgently mobilized the Henan local wing army and made an action to attack Luoyang, but he did not send troops for a long time.
In Kaifeng City, the open and the hidden tightness are tight, and the Kaifeng Jinyiwei and the Kaifeng defenders monitor the entire city tightly, and the main focus is on the former Song Imperial City.
Just as the Henan people focused their attention on Luoyang, late at night after the Luoyang mutiny, a raging fire suddenly ignited in Kaifeng Imperial City. The fire was fierce and reflected the red half of the night sky.
The Kaifeng people woke up in the middle of the night and rushed to the streets, staring at the direction of the imperial city with their faces trembling.
Almost everyone understands that this must be the purpose of the Zhao royal family, and its purpose is probably the same as Luoyang, to rebel and take Kaifeng.
But no one is optimistic about Zhao's rebellion.
More people are angry.
The whole country of Dayan is now living and working in peace and contentment, and the people are determined and merchants are determined.
The Zhao family suddenly started a mess. Let’s not talk about whether it can be accomplished or not. The first thing that affected the lower class was the people.
In the imperial city, Yan Qing and Li Lan stood side by side under the tall palace gate of Linde Palace, looking at the fires rising into the sky in the four directions of southeast, west and north, with a cold expression.
The five hundred elite teams of Jinyi brought by Yan Qing did not make any movement after sneaking into the palace from the secret passage.
Wu Song's men rushed into the imperial city and rushed to the fire scene to put out the fire. The originally deserted former Song Palace was overturned that night, and the ghosts cried and howled.
Zhao Ji's concubines lived in the front line of Linde Palace. They rushed out of the palace one after another, looking at the direction of the fire, with a confused and frightened expression.
"Put the fire?" Li Lan said lightly.
Yan Qing shook his head decisively: "Let Brother Wu take people to rescue him. We will not hold our troops. Tonight, the imperial city will be burned to ashes. As long as we can protect Zhao Ji, we will not let down His Majesty's trust."
Li Lan sighed softly, turned her head and looked at the calm palace where Zhao Ji lived.
In fact, in the imperial study, Zhao Ji was anxious and confused, and he almost never slept all night.
He actually didn't know what the people behind him were going to do. Such a big disturbance in the palace attracted the Kaifeng defenders and Jinyiwei into the imperial city. How could he escape?
Zhao Ji was paced back and forth in the room, suddenly looking back at Wang Huan, the insult supervisor who served him for the past two years, and said hoarsely: "Wang Huan, what's going on outside? Who set fire to the palace?"
Wang Huan's face was calm and he shook his head slowly and said, "The government family caught fire everywhere in the palace, perhaps because of the dry things in spring... Now Wu Song's people and Jinyiwei people are putting out the fire in the palace, and it is a mess."
Zhao Ji became irritated and stamped his feet: "What's going on outside the palace?"
Wang Huan suddenly smiled: "Don't worry, the official family, someone will definitely enter the palace later to rescue everyone from the palace. Now they all think that Zhao Qi led his men to rebel in Luoyang and want to take Kaifeng. In fact, our real purpose is
Save everyone and leave Tokyo, go straight to Hangzhou, support His Majesty in Hangzhou and then ascend to the throne."
Zhao Ji's expression changed drastically.
He didn't expect that Wang Huan, the inner supervisor who had been by his side for so many years, was actually the person behind the scenes!
Zhao Ji is still unclear at present who is behind the scenes. Although Princess Dekang is the one who came forward to contact him, Zhao Ji does not think that Dekang is the person behind the scenes.
Seeing that Zhao Ji's face was not good, Wang Huan suddenly said: "Officials, someone will come to the palace to contact us. We will sneak out of the palace and scramble out of the city. As long as we can escape from Tokyo, your Majesty will be safe. And if we arrive in Hangzhou,
Once the official family ascended the great treasure, the Song Dynasty's country and country will remain."
A hint of excitement and fanaticism flashed across Zhao Ji's face.
After all, he was an emperor, and no one hoped that Song would usurp back more than him.
But he was cowardly by nature and was only excited for a moment, and then he was worried about losing things: "Can I leave? Tokyo is surrounded by Wu Song's heavy troops. I believe Wang Lin will not be relieved. The Jinyiwei is also staring at me, not saying anything else.
, there is it in the palace.”
Wang Huan smiled indifferently: "Don't worry, don't worry. We have been planning for several years and are waiting for this day. Besides, Wu Song and the Jinyiwei both thought that it was Zhao Qi's rebellion and the Luoyang uprising, so we would never think of His Majesty.
After a while, we will have a chance to leave the palace.”
After Wang Huan finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the palace.
Zhao Ji's face turned cold.
He never thought that the slave around him was actually the person who arranged by the person behind the scenes. So, this means that he had been plotted against by others long ago...
Judging from the attitudes of these people towards themselves, the so-called Emperor of the Song Dynasty who was about to be restored was just a puppet and a prop.
In other words, it is just a pretext for others to realize their personal ambitions.
Zhao Ji felt deeply saddened in his heart.
But the arrow had to be fired on the string, and he was really tired of such a lonely life.
He is increasingly missing the feeling of the supreme emperor in his hand.
...
The Palace of the Song Dynasty was in chaos, with black crowds and soldiers intertwining, and the firefighting teams kept traveling back and forth at the fire scene.
Yan Qing's deep eyes were staring at the palace where Zhao Ji was.
He looked up at the sky, and saw that Dongfang had already turned pale, and his face couldn't help but hesitate. Could it be that the person behind the scenes had made a mistake in judgment and wouldn't he choose to take action today?
Could it be that the fire in the palace was really caused by the resentful internal prison of the palace maid?
Yan Qing thought of lightning.
Flashes of warm spring breeze blew by, and the fire in the palace had been controlled, and thick smoke was rolling over the imperial city.
Yan Qing's face suddenly changed. He and the Jinyiwei could sneak into the palace from the secret passage without knowing it. So, would the people behind the scenes have already started planning this matter a long time ago, and also discovered a tunnel from the deep palace.
The secret passage outside the palace?
Yan Qing took a deep breath and said hurriedly: "It is reported that Wu Song will be sent to block the entire imperial city. No matter what he wants, even a mouse in the palace cannot slip out!"
Yan Qing waved his hand decisively and said in a deep voice: "Let's go, follow this marquis straight into the palace where Emperor Song is!"
Yan Qing led his men into the palace where Zhao Ji was. Sure enough, there was no one inside, and Zhao Ji was missing.
Yan Qing's face instantly became very ugly.
He was strictly ordered and trusted by the emperor, and he must ensure that Zhao Ji was not kidnapped by others and that he must ensure his safety. If Zhao Ji was taken away from the palace, how should he explain to His Majesty?
Yan Qing was anxious and immediately led his Jinyiwei to fly outside the palace city.
