Chapter One Hundred and Ninety-Seven: Zhao Ling can ask for the moon for the emperor
At this time, the prime minister, Duke Zhao, was still in Lin'an Mansion.
Originally, he still had tens of thousands of troops in his hands, but because Zhao Fu ascended the throne, his military power was directly stripped away and he was given a sinecure and dismissed.
At this time, Zhao Zhen was just an idle prince, but he still opened a porridge shop outside the city and gave porridge to the refugees every day.
The imperial court would not give him much money, and Zhao Zhen's internal treasury was almost exhausted.
"Your Majesty, we have no money in the house." An old eunuch said to Zhao Ban with a bitter face.
"How many are left?" Zhao Biao, who was wearing a plain robe, looked unchanged.
"Only...only one hundred taels left. Many maids and servants in the mansion have been dismissed." Wang Run replied.
"Alas, this world is getting worse and worse. If my brother continues like this every day, our Song Dynasty will die sooner or later." Zhao Zhen sighed, with a look of unwillingness on his face.
He was very unwilling, really unwilling. He was obviously such a scum who did all kinds of evil, but because Zhao Fu's father and the previous emperor Zhao Yun were brothers from the same mother.
Therefore, Zhao Yun adopted Zhao Yu and raised him as a prince.
And he, who was clearly dedicated to the country and the country, gave up directly because he was not his father and Zhao Yun was not a brother from the same mother.
You must know that before Zhao Huan ascended the throne, he was a scum who did all kinds of evil, oppressing the people and kidnapping women from good families all day long.
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about?" Wang Run's face changed drastically and he quickly stopped him.
"Go and pawn this jade pendant." Zhao Yan took a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Wang Run.
"Your Majesty, you can't do it, you can't do it. This was a gift from your Majesty when you were born."
"No matter what, if I let you go, just go." Zhao Zhen stuffed the jade pendant into Wang Run's hand.
However, at this moment, two figures leaped over the tall fence and landed in the courtyard.
"Are you the Prime Minister Zhao Jian?" Zhou He said.
"Who is it? How dare you break into the palace!"
Wang Run, who originally had a bitter look on his face, suddenly felt aura around him the moment Zhou He and the others appeared.
This is the momentum that belongs to a top-notch master.
At this time, Zhao Zhen stretched out his hand to stop Wang Run who was about to take action. He looked at Zhou He and said, "I am Zhao Zhen. I wonder who you are? What are you doing here?"
"Two hours ago, I entered the palace and killed the dog emperor Zhao Fu." Zhou He said calmly.
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Zhen's body not far away trembled violently.
"Emperor...Emperor brother was killed by you?" Zhao Zhen's face changed slightly, but he did not believe it immediately.
If according to what Zhou He said, it has been two hours, why has there been no news from the palace?
Although they also knew that someone had broken into the palace, no news spread at all.
Therefore, those people outside would only think that the man had died in the palace.
But now, someone came to him and said that his royal brother had been killed. How could he believe it?
"The Song Dynasty cannot be destroyed, so please prime minister Guo Gong to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor as soon as possible!" Zhou He said with clasped fists.
"Please Prime Minister, please ascend the throne and proclaim yourself emperor as soon as possible!" Liu Tieshou also hurriedly clasped his fists and shouted.
"This..." Zhao Zhen didn't know how to react for a moment.
"You two should stop talking nonsense and leave quickly. Your Highness and I can pretend that nothing has happened." Wang Run immediately stopped in front of Zhao Ban and said.
He originally wanted to take action, but he sensed the strong energy around Zhou He and did not dare to take action.
In the entire prime minister's palace, he was the only master, and he didn't even have bodyguards. How could he be the opponent of these two people?
Just come and restrain him at will, and then you can capture the prince easily.
"Are you talking nonsense? Come with me to the palace and you will know everything." Zhou He ignored him and stretched out his big hands to grab Zhao Hao.
When Wang Run saw this, he shouted loudly, and his whole body was suddenly filled with Gang Qi, and then he slapped Zhou He with his palm.
There is also a strong cold air in this palm.
"Tiangang Boy Kung Fu? This is... Bone Transformation Palm? Do you eunuchs know these two secret skills?" Zhou He looked surprised, and then he struck a palm with Wang Run.
Unlike Cao Chun, Zhou He did not kill him this time.
After the collision, Wang Run's body was seen flying upside down involuntarily. He flew for more than ten meters before he stabilized his body. He was not injured at all.
When Wang Run looked forward, he saw that Zhou He had grabbed Zhao Zhen and jumped over the high wall, heading towards the palace.
Liu Tieshou was naturally not slow and followed Zhou He.
"I'm worried about the safety of your prince, so just follow me." Zhou He's voice reached Wang Run's ears.
Wang Run's expression changed slightly when he heard this. He immediately connected his feet and quickly chased Zhou He.
…
At the same time, outside the wine pond.
A large number of soldiers surrounded the place.
Inside, more than a dozen partially clothed corpses were floating in the wine pool, dyeing the wine pool red.
Beside the wine pool, there were three people standing.
One is the queen of the dynasty, Quan Jiu, and the other is Quan Zhaosun, the king of Zhiyue County, who was also the military governor of Wukang at this time.
On the third day, Quan Yicui, the personal maid of the current empress Quan Jiu, was also a top-notch master.
At the same time, next to Queen Quanjiu's feet, there was this corpse wearing a dragon robe and wearing nothing underneath.
"Jiu'er, the imperial guards have taken full control of the palace, what should we do next?" Quan Zhaosun, as the military commander of the Wukang Army, not only held tens of thousands of troops in the military camp outside the city.
He also holds the position of commander of the Ouchi guards. With his status, he can easily mobilize all the Ouchi guards.
Of course, there was also a fight before Quan Zhaosun took control of all the imperial guards.
Among them, most of those who died were the confidants of the great eunuch Cao Chun. They were vulnerable to Quan Yicui's cruel hands.
"Call all the ministers into the palace. Then, father, you mobilize the Wukang Army and let them take over the city defense and control the entire Lin'an Prefecture."
"Then, let Zhao Shi ascend the throne." Quan Jiu said.
"But... my son is only one year old now... this..." Quan Zhaosun couldn't say the next words.
"With a large army in hand, and my father still controls Lin'an, it's no big deal." Quan Jiu waved his hand and said.
"Okay, I'll go make arrangements immediately." Hearing this, Quan Zhaosun nodded and was about to leave immediately.
However, at this moment, there were screams and screams from the guards outside.
"There are assassins, there are assassins."
"Look, there's an assassin in the sky, shoot an arrow!"
"Whoosh!" Countless sounds broke through the air.
A few seconds later, a large number of screams were heard, and immediately, three figures fell from the sky, and just as they landed, another figure landed.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you okay?" Wang Run ran towards Zhao Hao as soon as he landed.
"It's okay." Zhao Yan's face was pale, and he was supported by Wang Run to prevent him from falling to the ground.
Such a fast speed and such a high place made Zhao Zhen feel a little seasick.
"Quick, go in and save the driver, the assassin is in."
"Protect the Holy Lord, protect the Queen..."
A group of guards wanted to rush in, and some of them even wanted to cross the tall wall to rescue him, but they were blocked by a wall of air.
"Are you the commander of the guards? Let your people wait outside, otherwise, I don't mind killing people."
"Besides, I think you don't want them to know about the scene here."
Zhou He looked at Quan Zhaosun, his words filled with murderous intent.
Quan Zhaosun looked angry when he heard this. He was about to scold him when he saw Quan Yicui on the side saying, "Master, listen to him and let the guards wait outside."
"Ah...this..." Quan Zhaosun looked at Queen Quanjiu.
"Father, listen to Cui'er." Quanjiu nodded towards his father.
Upon hearing this, the latter immediately shouted loudly toward the door: "No one is allowed to come in. They are all waiting a hundred meters away. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden noise outside.
But soon, it calmed down, and a group of guards shouted: "I will obey your orders!"
As soon as the words fell, there was the sound of footsteps of the guards leaving.
"Emperor...Brother Emperor, what is...what's going on?" At this time, Zhao Zhen finally saw the body of the little brother who was still standing upright.
Zhou He's eyes also stayed there. He found it very interesting that a person who had been dead for so long could still be so stubborn. It was so tough.
"If I want your one-year-old son to ascend the throne as emperor, I'm afraid I will disappoint you."
"This is Zhao Zhen. Today, he will ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor." Zhou He looked at Quan Jiu and said calmly.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!" Quan Zhaosun heard this and immediately shouted loudly.
Zhou He didn't speak, and looked quietly at Quan Zhaosun, who was frightened by Zhou He's look and stopped what he was going to say next.
At this time, Quan Jiu said: "The Holy One has passed away, so it is natural that the Holy One's heirs should be enthroned."
Just when Zhou He was about to speak, he saw Zhao Zhen shouting sternly: "Humph, the Song Dynasty is in danger now and will be destroyed in an instant."
"But you are planning to elect a one-year-old prince to the throne. Are you going to destroy the Song Dynasty?"
Zhou He glanced at Quan Yicui, and finally focused on Quan Jiu, saying, "You have to figure something out. I'm not asking for your consent, but informing you."
"If you are unwilling, then I will have to send you to see Zhao Yu." Zhou He looked extremely indifferent.
"You...are so presumptuous, so presumptuous!" Quan Zhaosun pointed at Zhou He, his face turning red with anger.
Zhou He's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he was about to take action.
At this moment, Quan Jiu suddenly said: "I didn't think carefully. For the future of the Song Dynasty, I support Zhao Zhen's ascension to the throne."
"Father, you immediately summon the ministers into the palace as I said before, and then mobilize the Wukang army to control Lin'an Mansion. In no time, Zhao Zhen can ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor."
"Choose wisely. In this way, you, your father, your daughter, and the prince can also live a prosperous life." Liu Tieshou said.
"Liu Tieshou, you follow the prince and protect him, while I go to the city to recruit those restless martial arts masters." After Zhou He finished speaking, he disappeared in a flash.
