Imperial City, Chongzheng Hall.
As the sky gradually darkens, it is finally time for the Donghua Gate Incident, which "forced the father to resist the Jin", to come to a successful conclusion.
To be honest, in this year's incident, Zhao Kai, Zhao Ji, and a group of courtiers who coaxed Zhao Ji to run away seemed to be at fault!
As the prince of the Song Dynasty who promoted the Imperial City Division, Zhao Kai's first priority was to protect his father Zhao Ji's throne. So when he heard that Zhao Ji was coaxed and deceived by a few ministers into asking for the Zen throne, it was completely reasonable and legal for him to immediately bring the Imperial City Secretary and his ministers into the palace. But the prince led troops into the palace to force his father, and he also said that he would imitate Li Shimin... Haha, it would be a bit uncertain in which dynasty or generation this matter is left!
And those important ministers of the two governments who persuaded Zhao Ji to resign from the official family, calmed down and thought about it, and they also felt that their status was a bit in doubt!
They, who are ministers of others, should not persuade their father to retreat no matter what reason they use!
What's even more inappropriate is that their persuasion failed. Zhao Ji is still an official, while Zhao Huan, whom they highly praised, is crying and refusing to be an official... If we take the experience of all dynasties, If you look at the history books, the future prospects for these people may not be very good!
Of course Zhao Ji is even worse! Since the implementation of the national policy of uniting Jin Dynasty to destroy Liao Dynasty, this official of the Song Dynasty has made many mistakes. The battle was not fought well, the soldiers were not well trained, the logistics support was in a mess, and the defense of the two places in Hebei was not taken seriously. Moreover, they pinned their hopes of maintaining the Yanshan Prefecture's defense line on Guo Yaoshi. As a result, Guo Yaoshi rebelled and the Yanyun defense line in the north completely collapsed! The army of gold thieves moved hundreds of miles a day and came south quickly.
In this case, what he, an official, was thinking about was not how to fight against the gold, but how to escape! If Zhao Kai hadn't come to force his father to resist the Jin Dynasty, his official family would be gone now, and the Song Dynasty would probably have to give it away.
Needless to say, the prestige of the official family has been ruined...
As for Zhao Huan, there's nothing wrong with him, except that he's a coward...but being cowardly isn't a sin! He was cowardly at home, and his father asked him to recruit him to the palace to receive the order. He came immediately, but he happened to run into a palace coup. The purpose of this palace coup was precisely to prevent his father, Emperor Zhao Ji, from giving him the throne.
Now not only has he failed to become an official, but his position as prince is about to be lost. And how many of the princes who have been deposed since ancient times can die a good death?
It makes me sad just thinking about it!
While Zhao Huan was weeping secretly, his father Zhao Ji suddenly spoke: "Thanks to Sanlang for bringing everyone into the palace today, otherwise I would no longer be an official. The prince is weak and sick. Sanlang is going to Hebei now, so I should encourage him!"
Zhao Huan was frightened by these words!
At this moment, Geng Nanzhong's voice suddenly came to his ears. It was very soft, but Zhao Huan could still hear it, "Pretend to be sick, pretend to be sick..."
When Zhao Huan heard this, he immediately understood what Zhao Ji meant. He wanted him to pretend to be sick to avoid trouble! Zhao Huan's acting skills are also good. He immediately had a heartbreaking cough and almost vomited blood on the spot. This startled Zhao Kai, and he quickly looked at his brother from a distance, and asked with concern: "Why is the elder brother coughing like this? Is his lungs bad? Do you have a fever? Do you need to take..."
He wanted to put on a mask... He didn't feel right until he said it. This Zhao Huan seemed to have lived a long life in history. Otherwise, why would Yue Fei later shout "return the second emperor"? He suddenly coughed so badly, could he be pretending to be ill?
Zhao Huan shed tears at this time and said: "Sanlang is a heroic young man. Brother Yu is old and sick. I am afraid that his death is approaching. If Sanlang returns to the south, I am the master of Taiyi Palace. I dare not expect anything else."
Old? Zhao Kai frowned, this guy is only in his twenties, why is he old? Even his father, Song Huizong, dare not say he is old now!
Zhao Ji looked at Zhao Kai and said with a wry smile: "Sanlang, how about I personally send you out of Donghua Gate, and then issue an order to commend you for your act of loyalty and filial piety today?"
This is because I don’t want to keep him in the palace overnight!
But Zhao Kai had no intention of staying in the palace all night. He also had a fairy-like young lady at home! In addition, his fuss today is actually for the purpose of "going north to fight against the Jin Dynasty." Now that the goal has been achieved, of course, we must leave as soon as possible. Not only can't he stay in the palace, he can't even stay in Bianliang, Tokyo... It's not that he is afraid of Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan's bad intentions, but he is afraid that the Jin soldiers will besiege the city.
Although Zhao Kai was very smart and not afraid of the Jin soldiers, he was surrounded in the city and couldn't go anywhere, so he couldn't go to Hebei to lead the national war against the Jin soldiers.
So the father and son quickly walked out of the Chongzheng Hall holding hands, talking and laughing, and appeared in front of thousands of officers, soldiers and guards outside the hall - Zhao Kai only led 300 people to break into the Donghua Gate at the beginning. , and picked up 300 people from He Guan outside Donghua Gate, so at the beginning, a total of 600 people arrived outside Chongzheng Hall. But then about 300 more officers and soldiers from the fifth command came over, and some personal officers and relatives from other commands came over spontaneously to gather together.
When these more than a thousand people saw Zhao Ji and Zhao Kai's kind father and filial son, they all shouted long live together.
Zhao Kai then took the opportunity to announce to them: "If the official does not abdicate his position, he will not leave Tokyo! I have been ordered to take charge of the military affairs of Hebei. He will bring millions of strong men in Hebei to fight the gold thieves for life and death. You are willing to make great achievements and enjoy the blessings together with Kai." Is it expensive?"
"We are willing to follow your Majesty!"
"We are willing to go to Hebei..."
The strong men outside the Chongzheng Hall shouted in unison again - although they didn't understand what the hell His Highness King Yun was doing? But they all knew that they had already boarded King Yun's pirate ship...
Zhao Kai was so happy that he turned to Zhao Ji and said, "Father, my son will definitely succeed in going to Hebei. I also ask father to work hard to defend the city!"
Zhao Ji frowned slightly and said to Zhao Kai: "Sanlang, we still need to negotiate a peace as soon as possible... If you can spend money to avoid disasters, don't think about making achievements on the battlefield. This dynasty is really not good at using troops to win!"
Zhao Kai was also a little helpless, but he had no choice but to nod in agreement, and then said goodbye to Zhao Ji, leaving the imperial city with more than 1,000 people outside Chongzheng Hall, and then headed towards the Shengjie Army's camp in a mighty manner—— Zhao Kai now holds Zhao Ji's hand edict and Tong Guan's order, just in time to strike while the iron is hot, he personally subordinates the former fifth commander, and the current Shengjie Army cavalry is pulling away the 1,000 cavalry commanded by Xiang Ke.
After that, Zhao Kai went to the Yamen and the main camp of the Imperial City Division, where a large amount of armor, weapons, and arrowheads were stored, as well as the luggage and private property of 600 soldiers from the Fifth Command, as well as some of the family members of the officers and soldiers. live there. You have to take everything with you and drive into Prince Yun's Mansion together.
Zhao Kai had to live in Prince Yun's Mansion for a few days until he received the 3 million taels of silver allocated from the inner treasure treasury and the 5,000 horses brought by Moutuogang before he could leave Kaifeng Mansion and go to Daming Mansion on Hebei East Road, where he would lead Resistant to gold.
And so many fully armed soldiers, with their families, holding horses, and carrying luggage, rushed towards Prince Yun's Mansion with a roar, and there was a sudden commotion.
It was already dark at that time. Zhu Fengying, the wife of Yun State who was guarding the back house of the palace, did not understand the situation for a while. She thought that Zhao Kai had failed and the soldiers who came to Prince Yun's palace wanted to arrest her, so she immediately ordered a concubine and two maids to arrest her. The door to the dormitory where he was hiding was blocked. When Zhao Kai arrived under the guidance of an internal official, he heard Zhu Fengying crying, fussing and nagging inside!
"Woo wu, don't come in. My sister is the princess, and my king is the most favored son of the official family. Even if he is convicted, there is a possibility of his return... Besides, my king has been crazy for several days. What he did today What I did was definitely not my intention. The officials are aware of everything and will definitely forgive the king... You can't bully me..."
When Zhao Kai heard this, he was very angry and shouted outside the door: "Madam, don't cry anymore, it's because your husband is back... I'm fine with my husband, nothing happened! I'll ask for more from my husband later." Go north to fight against the Jin Dynasty, madam, let’s go together!”
