The three Zhao siblings were all naval officers. Among them, the eldest sister Zhao Jing had the highest military rank. Moreover, she served in the Pingren Department and had access to the highest-level secrets in the Song Dynasty. Therefore, the two younger brothers respected their elder sister even more.
At this time, Zhao Jing walked past Liu Ziguang without squinting, stood in front of the Queen and cupped her hands and said: "Guan family, as things have come to this, I'm afraid we can only follow what Liu Shaobao said and use the royal dignity to frighten those Xiaoxiao Xiaoxiao."
This generation."
"Daughter, what's wrong with you?" Prince Taiping was a little puzzled by Zhao Jing's behavior. The emperor was driven out of the palace by the rebels. Now that the officials are arrogantly coming out to persuade them to surrender, isn't that a sheep in the wolf's mouth?
Zhao Jing obviously understood what her father meant and said: "The rebellion broke out and the Pingren Division neglected to take precautions. I am responsible for it, but I know that they did not have a complete organization and plan. It was just an accidental incident. The rebels have already
After capturing the Privy Council and the Royal Palace, killing so many people, and shedding so much blood, it's time to calm down our fanatical minds. In addition, the navy has already entered the city. Although they are trapped and fighting, they won't be able to hold on for long."
"For such a large-scale mutiny, you actually said that they did not have a complete organization and plan? Why do you say that?" Prince Taiping disagreed with his daughter's words.
"Because that person promised me that he would never do anything to harm the Song Dynasty." Zhao Jing said coldly, her tone did not sound like she was talking to her father, but like she was answering an unfriendly colleague. It's no wonder
, as the eldest daughter, she has been learning martial arts from outsiders since she was a child, and rarely feels the warmth of the family. Although the Prince of Taiping County helped her win the title of princess in order to make up for his debt to his daughter, this
The estrangement has always existed.
The person Zhao Jing was talking about, needless to say, was Lord Wen Juan, the soul of the Qing Army Association. If she didn't mention it, everyone would have almost forgotten that the marriage contract between the Zhao family and the Wen family, based on this relationship alone, Wen Juan would have to pay for it.
After thinking about it, Prince Taiping also shut up and stopped mentioning it.
The Queen's carriage headed into the city under the escort of the red-shirted regiment. The splendid carriage itself was a symbol of imperial power. Coupled with a group of yellow-robed guards around it, it was still able to calm the hearts of the people in this chaotic moment.
Of course, the Red Shirt Regiment marching in skirmish formation on the flanks also played an important role. Without their deterrence, the rebels would not have fled.
The car drove outside the palace and encountered no resistance. When the rebel army saw the return of the emperor, they all knelt down and surrendered. The rebels lacked organization and leadership. After the excitement passed, they realized the seriousness of the situation. The leader
Wen Juan's order has not been conveyed for a long time, and his group has no backbone. After occupying the palace, he didn't know what to do. Later, he heard that the navy had entered the city and he was even more panicked. The imperial guards were all well-paid and respected.
If the rebellion failed, these warriors would no longer be able to live the good life they had before. After thinking about it, everyone began to attack the instigators of the rebellion. After arresting the leading petty officers, they also
The imprisoned commander of the Royal Forest Army was released and announced that everything was over.
The mutiny was a farce with serious consequences. It was the work of a group of drunken members of the Qing Army Association. These low-level officers were only in their early twenties, which was the age of rebellion. In addition, there was a long-standing system of subordinates and superiors in the army of the Song Dynasty.
thought, so they suddenly launched a mutiny without sufficient preparation.
After a burst of shooting with the navy, the rebels suffered heavy casualties, and the previous vigor was exhausted. After all, this was not a battle with a foreign enemy, but a fight with their own brothers. After fighting for a while, the two sides gradually stopped.
Shooting, Zhang Xiaojie is dead,
Wen Juan was also seriously injured, and no one was qualified to come out to clean up the mess. At this moment, the Queen's motorcade appeared. Seeing the royal guards in full royal honor and golden helmets, the rebels finally collapsed and lost their lives.
No longer resisting with swords and guns.
The rebels were taken to the military camp outside the city for screening. The few leaders knew that they could not escape their guilt, so they committed suicide by kissing their necks. The rest were ordinary soldiers, neither punished nor not punished.
Can we lock it up like this first?
The riots in the city had been contained. Seeing that the situation was settled, Liu Ziguang sent a red shirt regiment to clean up along the streets. All the natives with weapons were executed. Those who took advantage of the chaos to smash and loot fled. New Bianjing gradually
After the calm was restored, on the streets after the catastrophe, friendly red-shirted soldiers were helping the people put out fires, repair doors and windows, and clean messy shops. They all had simple and honest smiles on their faces, making them like living Lei Feng.
In the Imperial Palace, Daqing Hall, the Queen sat high on the throne and looked helplessly at the two rows of courtiers below. According to the political system of the Lu Song Dynasty, discussions on state affairs should be conducted in the Privy Council or the Senate. But now the Privy Council has been reduced to ashes.
Half of the pillars of the army were killed in the mutiny, and Navy Marshal Zhang
Xiao Jie is also dead, and Wen Jun is seriously injured. Now the only one who can hold a big post is the Prince of Taiping County. Standing in the main hall are all mid-level officials who were not qualified to stand on duty. Their eyes are on Taiping County.
His Royal Highness the King also feels deeply that he has a heavy responsibility and must shoulder the burden of Pingzhangjun's state affairs.
But the superior Queen obviously has no such intention. The death of the old guys in the Privy Council is not a bad thing for Zhao Wen. At least no one forces her to get a political marriage, and no one cares about her going out to play pirate games or gangsters.
Lord or something, this throne is useless, so it is better to leave it to the imperial uncle in front of you.
"This mutiny has devastated our country, the Song Dynasty, and caused countless casualties. I am very sad. I feel that I have failed to trust my father and that I am not capable of being a good emperor. Therefore, I decided to abdicate."
When the Queen said what she said, the people below were all shocked. If it were the old Privy Council members in the past, they would have started to reprimand her. However, how could this group of people now have such qualifications and courage? They just knelt down and begged the Emperor to take back his life.
"My decision has been made. You don't need to persuade me anymore. Uncle Emperor, you have to take this seat." Zhao Wen said to Prince Taiping with a smile.
"Absolutely not!" The prince fell to his knees with a plop. This old man who was born in the navy had no ambition to be the emperor. Besides, the emperor really had nothing to stand on, and he also had to bear the infamy of stealing the throne from his niece. He
What I am thinking about is the actual power of Ping Zhangjun in state affairs.
"Uncle, please don't give in any more. I don't want this throne anyway. If you don't want to sit on it, let Zhao Jing, Zhao Kang and others sit on it. They are all descendants of Emperor Taizu. It doesn't matter who sits on it."
"Guan family!" The two brothers Zhao Jing and Zhao Kang suddenly became anxious. They followed their father and knelt down in the tunnel and said, "Please take back your order, Your Majesty."
"You don't need to persuade me. In short, I won't live here anymore. Either you choose someone to replace me, or there will be no emperor in the Song Dynasty. You can choose whatever you want." Without the restraints of those old ministers, Zhao Wen was obviously indulgent.
They talked a lot and actually started to threaten everyone.
Zhao Kang and his son were about to talk, but suddenly Zhao Jing stood up and said: "The official doesn't want to be the emperor anymore. Is there a better place to go?"
Zhao Wen blurted out: "If you don't want to be an emperor, you can still be a pirate." Seeing the surprised looks in everyone's eyes, Zhao Wen quickly changed her words: "Of course I won't become a pirate. What I want to do now is... get married."
The Queen is a big girl no matter what, and it is unacceptable to say the word "marry" like this. Before the officials could react, Zhao Wen continued: "Of course I will not marry the person arranged by the Privy Council. I
He is the one to marry."
Everyone followed the queen's delicate beauty and hoped to pass
, what he saw was the stunned Ming Dynasty envoy Liu Ziguang. This Ming Dynasty Crown Prince Shaobao played a big role in suppressing the mutiny. Without his timely rescue, I am afraid that the Queen would have fallen into the hands of the rebels.
When the time comes, the people who travel to the Song Dynasty will really be unable to be saved even if the gods come down to earth.
But then again, no matter how meritorious this gentleman is, he is just an envoy from a foreign country. It would be too embarrassing for the people living in Song Dynasty to marry him. These officials were just about to say something, but Zhao Jing said
He spoke: "Originally, the Privy Council decided that the wedding would be held in May, and that Prince Xiao Ming would marry into the royal family. However, Prince Xiao Ming had disappeared during the war, and Xu Shi was dead. Naturally, this marriage could not be arranged. The official family wanted to marry Ming Dynasty.
Liu Shaobao, I don’t think it’s impossible, I just need to give Liu Shaobao a title of Song Dynasty.”
Zhao Jing is the big boss of the Pingren Division. In this situation where there is a serious shortage of senior officials, as a senior member of the secret service and as the princess, her words naturally have some weight. Those officials suddenly stopped talking.
"Young Master Liu has done a great job in protecting you, so I think he can be conferred the title of Protector of the Country." Zhao Jing thought for a moment and said.
"Well, Lord Protector, that's very good." Zhao Wen smiled happily on the throne. The two sisters sang and harmonized, and they actually decided on Liu Ziguang's marriage and title without asking the parties involved for their opinions.
