Son of Song Dynasty

Chapter 173 Calm down
Empress Song was just behind the door, less than ten feet away from Zhao Kuangyin, the conversation between the two was clearly heard, and she was very anxious when she heard it.

He immediately spoke out, "Your Majesty, don't be deceived by King Jin's false words. Not long after you fainted, King Jin used his power to force the palace. He was brutal and cruel. He repeatedly threatened him. He didn't care about the safety of His Majesty. He forced me and the courtiers to make him the regent." The various behaviors of supervising the country are appalling.”

Zhao Kuangyin raised his thick eyebrows and looked at Zhao Guangyi.

Zhao Guangyi panicked for a moment, then calmed down, and protested, "The queen's words are wrong. At that time, the emperor's brother was asleep and the courtiers were chaotic. I was worried about trouble and wanted to calm people down as soon as possible. I didn't intend to seek power."

"It's you, Queen, who colluded with the King of Wei and Zhao Pu, falsely preaching the imperial decree, falsely claiming that the Holy Majesty woke up the night before, ordered the King of Wei to supervise the country, and Zhao Pu came back to be the prime minister."

"Although I acted agitatedly, it was for the safety of the Great Song Dynasty, but no matter what, I did not dare to falsely preach the imperial decree and set up a prison country without authorization..."

When talking about this matter, Empress Song was also a little flustered. This matter involved many people and many confidential private conversations. It is difficult to speak out in front of so many people at this time. It is best to speak to Zhao Kuangyin when no one is around.

But in this way, Zhao Guangyi's words could not be refuted.

Empress Song cried out in a hurry, crying that Zhao Guangyi was too much, and she was still bullying him until now.

It scared Zhao Guangyi enough, and he couldn't help sophistrying.

"Enough!" Zhao Kuangyin shouted in a deep voice.

Seeing that the two were arguing, more and more people were involved in the words, no matter whoever said it, many people in the court would suffer.

Zhao Kuangyin didn't want the incident to expand so that it could not be concluded, so he had to stop the debate between the two sides.

"This matter was all caused by my illness and fainting. Now that I'm fine, then the past things are past and no one is allowed to mention it again. Let's break up now."

Zhao Guangyi breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately walked down the steps, telling his subordinates to disperse immediately, those who should go back to the camp, and those who should go back to the house.

At this time, Zhao Dezhao suddenly remained silent, walked a few steps, chased behind Li Jianan, and killed Li Jianan on the spot with a slash.

Zhao Guangyi was right next to Li Jian'an, and was so shocked by this thoughtless sword that his blood spattered all over his head and face.

He was shocked and angry, and asked Zhao Dezhao sternly, "Prince Tianshui! What do you mean by killing my men for no reason!"

Zhao Dezhao looked back at his father, wiped off the blood on Li Jian'an's body with the saber, and put the saber back into its sheath.

Then he said with a smile, "Uncle Wang, let me ask you. What is your reason for raising troops to enter the palace?"

He knew that since Zhao Kuangyin said just now that the matter was never to be blamed, he could not bring it up again, so he immediately asked himself and answered,
"Naturally, it's your subordinate's eyeliner who reported to you that I entered the palace to conspire against others. But now it turns out that I just wanted to treat my father with bloodletting therapy."

"In this way, someone must be responsible for the chaos in the palace! Qi Ming, the commander in chief of the palace, has been killed by your subordinates, and dozens of guards in the palace have also died heroically. You can't hide this matter. down."

"I cut off the eyeliner around you just to find a reason for this!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhao Kuangyin again.

Zhao Kuangyin nodded.

Zhao Dezhao glanced at Zhao Guangyi proudly, and shouted loudly, "Li Jian'an, the eyeliner of Prince Jin's mansion, plotted wrongly, confuses rumors, and almost caused the crime of killing the palace, and now he has been punished! This person has committed a heinous crime, and he should be punished by the nine clans! You and everyone should take it as a warning." , don’t do it again, leave the palace quickly.”

These few words are more effective than what Zhao Kuangyin said just now.

Because Zhao Kuangyin only said that no one was allowed to mention it again, but one day he remembered to mention it himself, and he was afraid that none of the people involved today would survive.

But the words of the King of Tianshui County found Li Jian'an, a scapegoat, and pushed all the charges of besieging, breaking into and killing the palace today on Li Jian'an.

Now that the chief culprit is being punished, and the others take it as a warning, this is regarded as a real abdication of responsibility.

All the participating guards and soldiers couldn't help shouting in unison, "Long live my emperor! Thousand years for the king of Tianshui County!"

Zhao Guangyi had no choice but to shout a few times as well, gritting his teeth to bear this secret loss.

While returning home, he was both heartbroken and lucky.

Fortunately, despite the disastrous defeat, he survived in the end.

The heartache is a failure, a great success, and failure to make further progress.

When he returned to the palace, he was still the King of Jin, but the brains around him had already spattered the court with blood.

Someone from the palace followed and took away all of Li Jian'an's relatives in the Prince Jin's mansion and executed them.

Zhao Guangyi's sense of frustration became even stronger.

Zhao Dezhao!It seems that from now on, in the court, either you die or I live!

In this world of Song Dynasty, those who are destined will get it.

After a lot of tossing, Zhao Kuangyin was tired and hungry, and had already returned to the palace under the service of Queen Song.

Zhao Dezhao took Wang Xiuzhi, Jiang An and all the guards back to the Prince's Mansion, and fell asleep with his head covered.

Zhao Kuangyin raised him for one day, and the next day he issued an edict in person in the court to announce to the world: Li Jian'an, a treacherous warlock, falsely spread news and provoked disputes, causing King Jin to think that the emperor was in trouble, and then entered the court by mistake.Now the rebels have been punished, and the nine clans have been punished.

At the same time, Zhao Kuangyin announced that Zhao Yanmei and Zhao Pu were ordered to maintain state affairs when they were in danger, and they were both meritorious ministers.

All the ministers actually knew the real story of this incident, but who dared to face the king's words?

No one was willing to expand the scope of the incident, so the matter was exposed.

Zhao Dezhao, the king of Tianshui County, pleaded guilty of recklessness in the court, and Zhao Guangyi also pleaded guilty.

This thrilling court change finally subsided.

The next day, Yu Bai was found. Zhao Dezhao told Yu Bai face to face that he personally killed Li Jian'an and ordered others to kill all the Li family members, avenging Yu Bai's blood feud.

Yu Bai was extremely grateful, remembering that Aizi had already been elected and was preparing to become an official in the waiting period, and it was so sad that heaven and man were separated forever.

After Zhao Kuangyin learned about this, he did not promote Yu Bai to the official position, but wrote a picture for him in his own hand and gave it to him.

Zhao Dezhao also gave him a thousand taels of silver.Send him back to Yuezhou to resume his post.

Back at the palace, I met Wang Xiuzhi, and I was not very happy to see my wife depressed.

"Ma'am! Have you gone to the palace?"

Wang Xiuzhi nodded, "The empress is generally satisfied with this matter, but she is very annoyed that she let King Jin go so easily in the end."

"She blamed you for only letting her speak out, but you didn't say much yourself."

Zhao Dezhao smiled wryly.

"It's not that I didn't speak up. I already knew that it was impossible to overthrow King Jin at that time, once and for all."
