Shen Fei didn't care about the distant voice. The first day he joined the Forbidden Army, he was taught to obey orders. Later, when he was selected to practice the hook and sickle spear, Xu Ning even reminded him that as long as the order was given, even if it could not be struck by lightning.
Now that he was accompanying the prince as a bodyguard, he kept this matter firmly in his mind. The knife in his hand at this moment slashed down without any hesitation, and the man fell down directly and followed the former.
Those who destroy military territory should be executed according to the law. The Department of Animal Husbandry is under the control of the Privy Council. All the facilities under the Department of Animal Husbandry are military, and destruction is a serious crime. Not to mention roasting sheep on wooden fences in front of the racecourse gate, which is another sign of contempt. imperial court.
The knights who came from afar came closer now, and a young man in the lead said angrily: "Didn't you hear me shouting to stop? Where did you come from? You dare to go to Xining Prefecture to kill people. Are you trying to rebel?"
Zhao Tong's face darkened instantly. Next to him, Zhe Zhichang almost fell off his horse. He grabbed the reins and winked at the young man.
The young man also saw him at this time, raised his hands and said, "Brother Zhe is actually here. Is this the Zhe family's team? I wonder how these shepherd subordinates have offended the Zhe family, and they actually want to carry out this lynching?"
Zhe Zhichang frowned when he heard this and thought to himself, as the old saying goes, you can't stop someone who is willing to die. It seems to be true. He recognized this young man as You Chongheng, the son of Xining Prefecture Observer You Tai. The two were at a party. He had drunk wine several times before, so he was familiar with it, but he didn't expect that the sheep actually belonged to his family.
Zhe Zhichang forced out a smile, cupped his fists and said, "It turns out to be You Dalang's sheep. This..."
You Chongheng said: "Brother Zhe, my father hurriedly sent someone to notify me just now, asking me to drive away all the sheep here. I was still wondering what was going on. Could it be that your Zhe family needs to use this horse farm for something? If so, brother Zhe, just come to me directly." If not, why kill someone?"
Zhe Zhichang took a breath, his face also darkened, and he secretly thought about where is your brain? When you come here, have you lost your mind? Why did my family use this horse farm? It seems that your death is not unjust.
When You Chongheng saw that Zhe Zhichang remained silent and others remained silent, he gradually felt that something was wrong. He looked at the hundreds of people in the Scarlet Pioneer Regiment and couldn't help but trembled in his heart. The armor of these cavalrymen was wrong!
Most of the cavalry in the Song Dynasty were light cavalry. If we talk about heavy cavalry, there were also heavy cavalry. One was the Jingsai Army that once intimidated the Liao Kingdom. They had one person and five horses and killed the Liao Army in fear. The other was the Flying Cavalry Army guarding the capital.
However, the Jingsai Army has been gone for a long time, and the Flying Cavalry Army is now useless. It has been reduced to a mascot-like existence. There are no real heavy cavalry in other places, including the Western Army.
The young men of the Scarlet Pioneer Group all wore light armor, carried long spears beside their horses, daggers on their waists, and crossbows on their backs.
You Chongheng couldn't help but gasped as he looked at it, something was wrong, something was wrong with this team!
Why are these cavalry all wearing the light armor of military envoys? How could there be so many military envoys gathered together without a single soldier among them? And the age is wrong, they all look almost under twenty years old, hundreds of military envoys under twenty years old?
The military envoy is called Dutou, the infantry is called Dutou, and the cavalry army is called Junzhi.
You Chongheng looked at the gun again. The gun was seven feet two long and had an eight-inch tip. They were all hook-and-scythe guns!
That sword, that bow and crossbow, nothing is right!
You Chongheng was suddenly confused. This was definitely not the Zhejia's army. Even the Zhejia couldn't assemble this kind of mixed cavalry!
You Chongheng recalled how his father sent someone to report the time urgently, saying that he must go and drive away all the sheep.
He hurriedly looked at Zhe Zhichang. Zhe Zhichang turned his face this time without looking at him.
You Chongheng's face turned a little pale. He looked at Zhe Hanmei and then at the young man in white. The young man was also looking at him. At this time, he said calmly: "Did you just say that this king is going to rebel?"
This king? This king! You Chongheng's head banged when he heard this, and his face instantly lost all color. If he claimed to be the king when he was with the Zhe family brothers and sisters, then the word "king" was definitely not fake!
He swayed a few times and fell off the horse with a "gudong" sound. Then, regardless of the pain all over his body, he crawled to the ground in front of Zhao Tama's horse, fell down and kowtowed: "I don't know that His Highness King Qi is coming, so I just kept talking." You said the wrong thing, please forgive me."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hands and slapped himself left and right until blood flowed out and refused to stop.
You Chongheng had guessed the identity of Zhao Tong in an instant. During the Shenzong period, the clan was allowed to leave the capital, and princes with power in the court could also leave the capital without the emperor's order. However, at this moment, there is only one King of Qi who can leave the capital and claim the title of king. .
Zhao Tong looked at You Chongheng on the horse and was not surprised to see that he had guessed his identity. It was rare for a prince like him to leave the capital. During the reign of Emperor Daojun, there were other princes who had left the capital.
Later, Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, promoted the Imperial City Division, which allowed him to travel in the capital, and he also appointed the general of the Northern Expedition to expedition to the Liao Kingdom. However, Tong Guanbaigou suffered a disastrous defeat. The team was prepared but failed to make the trip. Kang Wang Zhao Gou sent an envoy to Jinying and turned back midway. , stationed in Jiexiangzhou, and was appointed as the general marshal of the Hebei army.
Zhao Tong looked at You Chongheng and said slowly: "Tie them all up!"
You Chongheng's head was beaten into a pig's head by his own family. At this moment, he was so flustered that his legs were weak. Suddenly, after hearing these words, he couldn't take a breath and fainted.
In this matter, even if it is a capital crime to sabotage the military, but Zhao Yan first came to Longyou, if he returned to the city after seeing the racecourse, there would be no room for change. The problem lies in You Chongheng's mouth. Some words cannot be said. Say it, don't say it. If you say it, it will not only cost you your life, but it will also implicate many people.
It has been said since ancient times that disaster comes from the mouth. What is a disaster? Disaster is a major event that can kill one's wealth and life!
That sentence was about rebellion. It seemed to be the vent of You Chongheng's inner dissatisfaction and anger. From You Chongheng's point of view, it was just a mouthful and nothing at all. But once word got out, there was no telling what it would become. From ancient times to the present, princes, even princes, have been most taboo about this sentence.
Common people can still joke among themselves, but the prince cannot, not even the prince!
Zhao Tong glanced at Zhe Hanmei and Zhe Zhichang next to him. Zhe Hanmei bit his lip and Zhe Zhichang lowered his head.
The two of them did not bring the dozen or so cavalry with them. They all stopped by the Huangshui River with the imperial army. Zhao Tong squinted his eyes and looked at the row of people on the ground. Some of them had roasted sheep on the racecourse fence, and there was You Chongheng. The few horses he brought were all tied up at this moment.
Zhao Tong said slowly: "Sabotaging the military and despising the imperial court is a capital crime, but it is not unpardonable. However, there are some words that I cannot listen to, not to the officials, not to the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, and neither can you!"
The faces of the people on the ground were all ashen when they heard this, and they still didn't know why. Not only was it punishable by death for sabotaging the military, but could those words alone be said to a prince? I'm afraid that even if Zhao Tong is not ruthless and cruel, they still don't believe in themselves. Who knows if one day they get drunk and tell others that the young master of the Observer family scolded the King of Qi and wanted to rebel.
At this moment, everyone hated You Chongheng. How could there be such a fool in the world!
Zhao Tong closed his eyes slightly: "Kill them all!"
At this moment, a cry suddenly came from the distance: "Your Majesty, please raise your noble hand and spare the dog's life."
