"Tong Guan, where do you think King Yun's army is?"
"If we return to the official residence, at noon today, His Highness Prince Yun's troops arrived at Chenqiao Station, forty miles north of Kaifeng City, and set up camp..."
After Tong Guan finished speaking, the Chongzheng Palace was silent again. The four chief ministers who just wanted to use the "abduction incident of the Emperor Ji" to criticize King Yun Zhao Kai suddenly became speechless. Among them, Li Gang was better, still looking nonchalant. However, the expressions of Li Bangyan, Bai Shizhong, and Cai You changed drastically and their faces turned pale.
King Yun garrisoned Chenqiaoyi!
Where is Chenqiaoyi? That was the place of Longxing in the Song Dynasty, the place where Emperor Taizu wore a yellow robe!
Zhao Kai is now stationed at Chenqiaoyi. Is it because he is wearing a yellow robe?
"Yes, but I agreed to abdicate the throne to him, why would he bother to station troops at Chenqiaoyi?" Zhao Ji was confused, "Is it because he is tired from walking?"
Zhao Kai thought about it and felt something was wrong. Zhao Kai led his troops out of Jingyang Gate of Kaifeng Mansion before dawn this morning, and then walked in a hurry. Looking at it, he wanted to leave Kaifeng Mansion as soon as possible...but why We only walked for half a day and stopped at Chenqiaoyi? Even if you are really tired, you have to keep walking!
Moreover, it is impossible for Zhao Kai's army to be too tired to walk. Although walking 40 miles from early morning to noon is quite fast, Zhao Kai's army has nearly 8,000 mules and horses and a large number of carriages. If necessary, it is not difficult to travel 100 miles in one day. It only takes three or four days to get from Kaifeng Mansion to Daming Mansion. We shouldn't stop at Chenqiaoyi after walking for half a day.
"Tong Guan," Zhao Ji frowned and asked, "You have always been close to King Yun. Do you know what his intention is in stationing troops at Chenqiao Station?"
"This..." Tong Guan didn't understand what Zhao Kai wanted to do for a while, so he had to guess and answer, "Maybe King Yun wants to stay in Chenqiaoyi for a few days in order to contact the gold thieves in Hebei? If it can be negotiated, ,At once......"
Just join Huangpao in Chenqiaoyi?
The ministers in the Chongzheng Hall probably couldn't think of anything else besides wearing yellow robes at this moment.
When they think about it, Zhao Kai did not accept Zhao Ji's inner Zen before, mainly because he was afraid of lack of reputation, lack of strength, and being unable to deal with gold thieves. If the gold thieves surround Kaifeng City and they are not recognized by the heroes of the world, it will be a dead end.
But if Zhao Kai could buy off the gold soldiers, then use his biological sister to marry the gold thieves' emperor or prince, and then have the gold men back him up, then fight back to Kaifeng Mansion to seize the throne, everything would be fine.
This is to imitate Shi Jingtang and become the emperor! High, really high!
The ministers who originally wanted to impeach Zhao Kai were afraid to speak now... They all felt that Zhao Kai was actually quite wise!
...
Chenqiaoyi, Xianlieguan.
At this time, Zhao Kai's army stationed at a large Taoist temple called Xianlie Temple located in the Chenqiaoyi area. This building was built in the fourth year of Chongwen reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty. It was built by Zhao Ji to commemorate the success of his ancestor Zhao Kuangyin in grabbing the country from the orphans and widowed mothers of the Later Zhou Dynasty. It occupies a large area and is magnificent. It is the core of the entire Chenqiaoyi.
After more than 160 years of development, Chenqiaoyi has transformed from a small inn in the past to a large commercial town today. The town covers a large area, which is comparable to a small state city. Although there is no real city wall around Chenqiaoyi, tall walls have been built, and there are many tall buildings that can serve as watchtowers and archery towers.
If it can be slightly modified, it will indeed be a military stronghold.
However, Zhao Kai stopped his army at Chenqiaoyi not to use it as a stronghold to fight against the Jin, but to...sleep!
He was so sleep-deprived during this period that he was troubled by the unbelievable problem of time travel at first. He was so groggy for several days and nights that he didn't even know whether he had slept or not. Then he worked day and night on the matter of going north to fight against the Jin Dynasty, only squinting for a short while every day. It wasn't until the army marched out of Kaifeng Mansion and arrived at Chenqiaoyi, a large town forty miles outside Kaifeng Mansion, that Zhao Kai's tense spirit relaxed.
And once you relax your mind, of course you will feel sleepy. So I found a warm clean room in Xianlie Temple, called Pan Cailian over, and fell asleep with her pillow on her lap - this is called sleeping on a beauty's knees!
While he was sleeping inside the house, a group of people outside the house were discussing whether to find a yellow robe... Everyone knew this rule!
"Your Majesty, you are now in the place where Emperor Taizu dozed off! Emperor Taizu was doing his duty when he fell asleep, and when he woke up, he was the emperor! Shouldn't we also find a yellow robe to put on him?"
"Now? Isn't the time ripe now? We only have more than 2,400 troops on hand..."
"If we really want to do it, there are thousands of victorious troops in Kaifeng City!"
"Strength is not the problem, the problem is what to do with the gold thieves? Now the gold thieves have passed Xiangzhou, and they will reach the edge of the Yellow River in a few days..."
"Didn't you say that you want to buy back the gold thief? There are also rumors that Emperor Roufu will be given to the emperor or prince of the Jin people... Ah, Emperor, Emperor Ji, when did you come? You said Tell me, does this happen?"
"Yes, Di Ji, please tell us everything..."
Just when this group of people were discussing how to give Princess Roufu to the Jinren, Emperor Roufu Zhao Duofu and Madam Zhu Fengying of Yun Kingdom suddenly stepped into the main room outside the bedroom where Zhao Kai slept. There were two people who didn't open their eyes. They seemed to be Xiang Ke and the leader of the cavalrymen from Moutuogang. A fat man in his thirties or forties named Ma Wang actually took the initiative to inquire about Roufu Diji.
Emperor Roufu was annoyed when she heard this. She followed her twelfth brother out of the palace on the night of the twelfth lunar month to celebrate the New Year. By the way, she met her third brother, whom she had not seen for many days. As a result, she was "abducted" when they met. Now there are rumors that she is going to be married to some gold thief emperor or prince... Can she not be annoyed?
However, she did not argue with a group of vulgar men and sycophants. Instead, she pushed the door open and walked into Zhao Kai's dormitory. She walked up to Zhao Kai, who was sleeping soundly with Pan Cailian's thigh on her head, and shouted loudly. : "Zhao Kai, wake up quickly, the yellow robe is on you!"
A yellow robe?
Zhao Kai was sleeping soundly when he suddenly heard someone shouting in his ear that Huangpao should be added to his body. He immediately lost all sleep and sat up suddenly. He looked up and down, left and right, but did not see Huangpao. Instead, he saw a pretty and angry face, which seemed to be "Yue Fei's wife" Roufu Diji.
"Ten, Sister Ten, why are you here? Where is the yellow robe?" Zhao Kai was a little confused. Wasn't someone coming to add a yellow robe to his body? Where is the yellow robe? Did Zhao Duofu take it away? Hand it over quickly!
Zhao Duofu was furious and looked extremely fierce. He looked at Zhao Kai and asked, "Third brother, tell me the truth, do you want to give me to the emperor or prince of the Jin people to seek peace?"
"What? That's not to cuckold Yue Fei..." Zhao Kai probably hadn't woken up yet, and he almost said that he was cuckolding Yue Fei... Before he could finish his words, he realized something was wrong. Well, Zhao Duofu hasn’t married Yue Fei yet!
"Yue Fei? Who is Yue Fei?" Zhao Duofu asked with wide eyes.
At this time, Zhao Kai wanted to change the topic quickly, but at the same time he saw a group of subordinates coming in from the door, and for some reason he thought of wearing a yellow robe again. So he asked loudly: "Are you here to wear Guhuangpao?"
"Exactly!" The leader named Ma Wang, who had offended Zhao Duofu with his nonsense, immediately took over the question, "I respectfully request that the king be restored to his throne as soon as possible!"
Zhao Kai laughed when he heard this and said: "If you want to imitate Li Shimin, you naturally want to be the emperor, but the time is not ripe yet... If you really support me, you might as well listen to King Gu's orders from now on. How about the lonely kings conspiring for big things?"
