"Big, big, big...King? Is that you?"
The person who asked the question was a rather grown-up man, in his mid-twenties, with a black hat and green robe, a long sword hanging from his waist, a big face with Chinese characters, handsome eyebrows, and a very neatly trimmed beard. At first glance, you can tell that he is a brave martial artist with excellent martial arts skills.
This man was none other than King Yun Zhao Kai's number one confidant, Wu Yilang, who was in charge of imperial equipment and Huang Wuji, the fifth commander of the Imperial City's personal subordinates.
Zhao Kai's number one henchman actually didn't recognize his lord Zhao Kai now! It's not that Huang Wuji and Huang Da's thugs are blind, but that Zhao Kai's changes are much different from a few days ago.
First of all, the dressing style has completely changed. A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle! Zhao Kai looks a lot like Zhao Ji. They are both tall, not slender, but burly. However, he usually dresses like a scholar, has a neatly trimmed beard, and always has a smile that makes people feel like spring breeze on his face. At a glance, you can tell that he is an elegant and elegant scholar.
But now Zhao Kai actually took off his literati clothes with wide sleeves and put on a narrow-sleeved round-neck long coat. He also put on wrist guards on the cuffs. In addition to the long coat, he also wore a chain armor on his waist and abdomen. The belly of the robe was covered, and a black rhinoceros leather belt was tied outside the belly of the robe, with a long sword hanging on the belt. He is completely dressed as a warrior!
Secondly, Zhao Kai's appearance has also undergone some changes. His beard has not been trimmed for several days and has become unkempt. His face has become a little "fat" (swollen) and is glowing red. His eyes are bloodshot. , looks ferocious and ferocious, as if he wants to kill someone.
Because Zhao Kai had changed a lot, Huang Wuji, his confidant, didn't recognize him for a while.
"Huang Wuji, I'm Zhao Kai! Why don't you recognize me?" Zhao Kai stared at Huang Wuji, "How many people from the fifth command are in the camp now?"
The fifth commander of the Imperial City's personal subordinates is a direct descendant of Zhao Kai. There are more than 600 people in total. They are all warriors recruited from the Western Army by Tong Guan with Zhao Kai's help. Everyone has been on the battlefield and seen blood.
Unlike the other four personal commanders, this fifth commander does not go to the palace on weekdays to be on duty. Instead, he guards the Imperial City Si Yamen and the military camps of personal officers. He is also responsible for the security of Prince Yun's Mansion.
"There are more than two hundred and twenty people in the camp!" Huang Wuji finally recognized Zhao Kai, so he immediately replied, "There are also more than a hundred people on duty at the palace, and more than a hundred people on duty at the Imperial City Department. The rest have been released. Fake."
Zhao Kai nodded, "I'll give you half an hour to select 300 people from the camp and the palace, all wearing armor and holding weapons, and assemble outside the gate of the palace!"
"What?" Huang Wuji was stunned, he couldn't believe his ears, "My, my lord, what do you want to do?"
"Enter the palace!" Zhao Kai gritted his teeth and spat out two words, "The lonely king wants to lead his troops into the palace!"
Huang Wuji was startled, "Your Majesty, are you going to...rebel?"
"Why is it a rebellion?" Zhao Kai glanced at Huang Wuji, "Didn't you hear that someone is trying to persuade my father to abdicate?"
Huang Wuji nodded, "I, I have heard..."
Zhao Kai said sternly: "As a minister, can you persuade the monarch to abdicate the throne and make way for someone more worthy? Whoever does this in the past dynasties is not rebelling? Besides, my father is only forty-four years old this year, and he has not yet reached the age of old age and incompetence!"
Huang Wuji thought to himself: Although your father is not old, he is absolutely incompetent! If he is not incompetent, how many other kings in the past can be considered incompetent?
But what Zhao Kai said makes sense. All the officials in the past dynasties who advised the emperor to abdicate were all rebellious officials and traitors! Although what happened in the Song Dynasty this time is a bit special, the matter of inner Zen may have been first proposed by the official Zhao Ji himself. But how could the two prime ministers agree? It must be resolutely discouraged! If the Prime Minister does not dissuade, but instead works hard to push, that is disloyal! It seems that the entire court is full of rebellious officials and traitors!
Zhao Kai said loudly: "Since there are rebellious officials and traitors in the court, and as the Imperial City Secretary, I should naturally lead troops into the defense to bring order to the chaos!"
Not to mention, what Zhao Kai said in his dazed state was really in line with feudal etiquette!
"What the king said is absolutely true. I know what to do!" Huang Wuji replied loudly.
Zhao Kai looked at him and added: "Huang Qing, you are my brother. If I succeed, I will share the wealth and honor with you!"
Let's get rich together!
Hearing this, not only Huang Wuji's eyes grew hot, but also Wang Xiaode and Chen Ji, who were standing by, felt a little hot-headed.
Things come true...what is things come true? Zhao Kai is a prince, and he is also the second among the surviving sons of the official Zhao Ji (ranking third, but the second brother above him died young). If he wants to succeed, he can only become a prince or an official.
This is heaven-shaking wealth!
When Huang Wuji thought of this overwhelming wealth, he knelt down in front of Zhao Kai, "As the king says, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Is this the way the tiger's body shakes and the younger brother bows his head? Zhao Kai looked at Huang Wuji, who was half shorter, and nodded heavily: "Okay, hurry up and mobilize your troops!"
"Here!"
Huang Wuji responded, stood up and strode away.
Zhao Kai took a breath and suddenly asked the two people around him, "Chen Yishan, Wang Daguan... Can Commander Huang bring these people here? Are those people willing to work with the Gu family?"
"Your Majesty," Chen Ji thought for a while, "Commander Huang will definitely be able to bring him here... After all, someone in the palace is forcing an official to abdicate, and it is the duty of the Imperial City Department to stop him."
"Your Majesty," Wang Xiaode added, "You can withdraw 3,000 taels of silver from the palace's accountant, and each person can receive 10 taels. That should be enough."
"Double it! 6,000 taels!" Zhao Kai said again, "Also, are the three hundred people a little less?"
"Your Majesty, why don't you wait and wait until everyone under the fifth command has gathered before we go together?" Wang Xiaode said, "If your Majesty still feels that it is not enough, I will go to the Shengjie Army's camp again and give the command to the commander. 1,000 people have also been invited here. They have received great kindness from the king and will definitely be willing to follow the king..."
Zhao Kai has been coveting the throne for many years, and he has the support of Zhao Ji, an official family. He certainly has some strength. In addition to firmly controlling the Imperial City Division, there are also his troops in the Shengjie Army pulled together by Tong Guan. This Commander Xiang was Zhao Kai'an's confidant who had been inserted into Shengjie's army. He had just protected Tong Guan from Taiyuan and ran back to Kaifeng Mansion.
"No need," Chen Ji interjected, "Your Majesty, we need to be quick now and don't need to mobilize more troops. You still promote the Imperial City Division. The personal officers guarding the six gates of the Imperial City are all your subordinates. It is impossible to stop you. Enter the palace. Moreover, the personal officers of the fifth command are all elites, and only the Shengjie Army can fight with them in Kaifeng City! And the Shengjie Army is the troops of the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister has always supported the king. "
"That makes sense!" Zhao Kai said, "The key now is to enter the palace... As long as the Gu family can enter the palace, my father will not even think about abdicating the throne and running away!"
As he spoke, he stood up suddenly, "This time Gu is going to take the lead!" He looked around, "Are you two going with Gu?"
Wang Xiaode was a little scared after hearing Zhao Kai's words, "Your Majesty, there are probably three yamen soldiers outside the palace gate, and you are a man of ten thousand gold, how can you be in danger? Why don't you let Huang Wuji go?"
Chen Ji said, "How can we leave others alone to deal with the Xuanwu Sect? If your Majesty cannot take the lead, what we are doing today will not be accomplished!"
Zhao Kai snorted: "Yes, Gujia is the chosen one, why should we be afraid? Today I will go ahead and enter the palace to eliminate the thieves!"
