In the quiet palace, everything is so quiet. Tong Guan carried a bowl of ginseng soup and walked tremblingly towards Zixiao Palace. There was a gloomy look on his face, his eyes kept blinking, and he seemed to be extremely nervous. Beside him, Zhao Kai followed leisurely. Compared with Tong Guan, Zhao Kai was in a much better mood, with a smile on his face, his hands behind his back in high spirits, and he felt unprecedentedly comfortable.
Seeing that Tong Guan was not nervous, Zhao Kai patted his shoulder, and then laughed and said: "Old Tong, don't be nervous, just do it as usual. If you are too nervous and leak something, then I can't save you. Yeah. But if you succeed, I promise to put you in a good position and help you get rid of Yang Jian, how about that?"
Tong Guan's face was full of bitterness, but he still showed a forced smile, nodded slightly, and said: "It is an honor for me to serve His Highness. I don't ask for any reward!"
With that said, the two of them had already arrived in front of the palace gate.
Zhao Kai squinted his eyes and looked at the majestic hall, then smiled and said: "Go in, I'll wait for news here."
Tong Guan nodded, then opened the palace door and went in.
Zhao Kai stood on the stone steps and looked at the entire magnificent palace. Here, you have the status to control the world. From tonight on, you don't need to look at other people's eyes. Everything here will be yours.
At this time, the commander of the Imperial Palace Forbidden Army arrived.
"My subordinates pay homage to His Highness!" the commander shouted, cupping his hands.
Zhao Kai nodded and then said: "Convey the order and seal the four gates. No one is allowed to leave Tokyo City. The city will be sealed from today! In addition, five thousand forbidden troops will be sent to surround my mansion to prevent people inside from coming out. , whoever dares to break through will be shot to death! Finally, let the garrison generals stand ready"
"Yes!" the commander responded, and immediately went to do it.
And at this moment, Tong Guan's wailing sound suddenly came from the palace: "Your Majesty has passed away"
When Huizong ascended to heaven and the imperial army surrounded Prince Zhao Kai's palace, Ximen Qing, Zhang Yu, Qing Lian and Li Shishi had already left Tokyo City. After looking at the gates of Tokyo City, the increase in garrison on the city wall, and the vague wailing in the city, Ximen Qing knew that Huizong was dead and Zhao Kai ascended the throne.
Immediately, the four of them looked at each other, smiled, and headed towards a small village not far away.
Huizong's death immediately caused huge waves in Tokyo. But at the gate of the city, the news did not spread at all.
Zhao Kai then summoned all civil and military officials for a meeting, and Tong Guan read out the edict left by Huizong at the court. The posthumous edict shows that Huizong was well aware that his health was deteriorating, so he drafted a decree to pass the throne to his third son, Zhao Kai.
In this regard, all civil and military officials had no objections and elected Zhao Kai to the throne. In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Kai raised the dragon lantern and sat on the throne, and then issued an edict to the world. He also enfeoffed Zhao Yunluo as King of Lu, Huizong's fourth son Zhao Pu as King of Qi, and so on.
As soon as the imperial edict came out, it spread to all states and governments at the speed of a rocket. When people all over the world learned that Huizong was dead and Zhao Kai succeeded to the throne, they didn't care. It didn't matter who became the emperor. They didn't ask. Officials from various states also thought deeply about it, but they did not dare to object openly. They just looked at it coldly and waited for Zhao Yunluo's actions.
When Zhao Yunlin learned the news, he didn¡¯t take it seriously at all! He didn't believe that Zhao Kai could sit on the throne at all! Gao Qiu, Yang Jian, and Cai Jing are all his own, and there are also his confidants in the Forbidden Army and the garrison. How can Zhao Kai defeat them? What's more, Huizong was in good health. Although he was plagued by minor illnesses, he still had no problem living for another one or two years. How could he die just because he was dead?
But when Zhao Yunluo saw the imperial edict that canonized him as King of Lu, Zhao Yunluo realized that what he would not believe had actually come true!
In response, the angry Zhao Yunlin directly tore up the imperial edict.
Zhao Yunluo was very arrogant and never thought that a fool like Zhao Kai could seize the throne. For him, the throne must be his, because no one can compete with him. But when the situation turned into this situation, Zhao Yunluo realized how much disaster his pride had brought to him.
Although he has an army of 200,000 in his hands, Zhao Kai has ascended the throne and is already the legitimate emperor, and he has become King Lu. If he competes for the throne, it will be treason. The city of Tokyo is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It would be too difficult for you to take it down. Now that Fang La has not been wiped out, the Liangshan bandits and Tian Hu's army are still watching, and there are tigers all around. What should he do?
For a time, Zhao Yunlin was surrounded by enemies on all sides.
But soon, Zhao Yunluo issued an order to continue to destroy Fang La, and then returned to Beijing to face the Holy Spirit. Although Zhao Yunluo is conceited, he is even smarter. Now that things have reached this situation, I can't be anxious and must go step by step.
The battle against Fang La has reached a critical moment. Naturally, we cannot give up. ZhaoIt has become a fact that he won the throne. Now even if he rushes back with all his strength, it will not help.
So it is better to capture Fang La, then recruit enemy troops, expand your own army strength, then mobilize troops from other places, and finally send troops back to Beijing. Zhao Kai only controlled the city of Tokyo, but he, Zhao Yunluo, also held military power in many important cities. If he mobilized all the troops together, he could gather an army of half a million people.
An army of 500,000 people is pointing directly at Tokyo City. Zhao Yunluo believes that no matter how difficult it is to attack Tokyo City, it can still make a way out with piles of corpses.
As for the charge of treason for attacking the Tokyo City Council, Zhao Yunlan didn't care at all. Epics are written by winners, and losers will become sinners no matter how righteous they are. So as long as you win the throne, everyone else will be easy to deal with.
At the same time, the smart Zhao Yunluo also realized that Zhao Kai could seize the throne so quickly and covertly, and there must be someone capable to help him, otherwise he would not dare to do it rashly due to his vulgarity. After thinking about it, Zhao Yunluo guessed who Ximen Qing was. Because the spies reported that Ximen Qing returned to Liangshanshuibo and then disappeared mysteriously, but he went to Tokyo.
" It was definitely Ximen Qing's fault. Zhao Yunli was extremely angry and wanted to cut Ximen Qing into pieces. But at this time, Ximen Qing was already on his way back to Bazhou, so he could only complain.
Ximen Qing went to Bazhou alone, Zhang Yu continued his travels in the rivers and lakes, Qing Lian returned to Emei, intending to accompany his mother, and Li Shishi went to Liangshan, intending to settle there.
This trip to Tokyo was a fruitful one for Ximen Qing. Zhao Kai ascended the throne and set up a wall for Zhao Yunluo to the greatest extent, making him unable to breathe and fighting for his side to the greatest extent. time.
Ximen Qing fully believes that if Zhao Yunluo wants to win Tokyo City, it will not take him more than half a year or a year to achieve this goal. And this more than half a year is enough for Liangshan headquarters and the Liangshan army in Bazhou to develop to a strong level.
In Bazhou, the Liangshan army continued to train and recruit soldiers. As for the Liangshan headquarters, Ximen Qing has transferred Song Jiang, Yang Zhi, Jie Zhen, Jie Bao, Zhang Heng, Zhang Shun, Tong Wei, Tong Meng and others, plus the original Zhang Qing, Li Kui and other brothers, enough Protect the safety of Liangshan headquarters.
Both places are developing, and the effects can be imagined.
