Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    That night, except for Yan Qing and Li Shishi, almost everyone else did not sleep a wink.

    As soon as Chao Yong closed his eyes, he seemed to see him sitting on a dragon throne, with hundreds of officials prostrating themselves.

    When the watchman outside announced "it's time for the third watch", a hundred soldiers under Xue Yong's command arrived.

    Chao Yong stood up and said, "Let's enter the palace."

    Zhao Ji was only forty years old at this time. In the past, he was well-dressed and well-fed, and he ignored government affairs. It can be said that there are no traces of time on his face, and he looks like a thirty-year-old man. Coupled with Zhao Jisheng's handsomeness, it can be said that  Fengshen crown jade.

    But after that night, it seemed as if the end was suddenly approaching. His whole body looked haggard, and he was picked up by Shi Xiu and walked forward like a zombie.

    After arriving at the back, Master Li opened a door, and there was a stairway going downwards. It was unknown what kind of stone it was, and it looked as white as jade.

    However, there is no light source in the tunnel. We can only see the steps through the light from the west building, but it is dark inside, and we don¡¯t know the depth.

    "Let me go first."

    Wu Song took off a lamp hanging on the wall, lit it, and stepped into the tunnel first.

    Yan Qing cupped her fists and said, "Yan Qing wishes the prince success."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "The matter is done, Xiao Yi, you and Shishi still stay here for two days to avoid being seen through by others. When our Liangshan army arrives tomorrow, there will be no need to hide it."

    "Prince, don't worry, there will be no flaws in Fan Lou."

    Chao Yong nodded to Yan Qing and led everyone in. When they entered the tunnel, they couldn't help but be shocked by the luxury of the tunnel.

    This tunnel is not very wide, and can only accommodate three or four people walking side by side, but it is quite high. Even a majestic man like Wu Song does not need to lower his head when walking in it. The ground and walls are  It is paved with unknown white stone, as smooth as a mirror and as white as jade.

    Wu Song could not help but curse: "This dog emperor, just to meet a brothel girl, is wasting people and money, he really deserves to be killed."

    Chao Yong shook his head and said: "This guy loves art. I'm afraid he has to make everything perfect in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation."

    Hearing this, Zhao Ji couldn't help but look at Chao Yong in surprise. He didn't expect that some of the grassroots could understand him.

    Yes, Zhao Ji has profound attainments in calligraphy and painting. He can be said to be a contemporary master. He has a high artistic talent. What he pursues in life is not ordinary splendor, fine clothing and food, but a sense of beauty, which can inspire his creative inspiration.

    Chao Yong saw Zhao Ji's eyes, shook his head and said: "Fu Nuan Si Yin Lu, if you are just an idle prince, you can do whatever you want with your own money. But as the emperor, you have embezzled the money from the treasury to satisfy your own selfish desires.  , and it is a big mistake to attract all the officials in the court to imitate your luxurious life. It can be said that it is all your own fault for the situation you have now, but you, the Zhao family, have forced the orphans and widowers of the Chai family to surrender.  For what you gain from the throne, now that you are forced to take the throne, it will be repaid with retribution."

    Zhao Ji also knew that there is no permanent empire, but he did not expect that the Zhao family's empire would perish in his hands.

    There is only one street between Fan Tower and the Imperial Palace, and this tunnel is not long. Within a short time, they arrived at the Imperial Palace, and everyone came out into a main hall.

    Zhao Ji¡¯s personal eunuch has been waiting anxiously at the entrance of the tunnel. In the past few days, Zhao Ji has gotten up at the fourth watch to wash and change clothes and prepare to go to court.  After Zhao Ji went to Master Li yesterday, he was afraid that Zhao Ji would come back early, so he came here early to wait.

    The eunuch was startled when he saw Wu Song coming out first, and he was not the familiar Ban Zhi guard. Then when he saw Shi Xiu escorting Zhao Ji out, he felt something was wrong.

    ????????????????????????? But this guy is also a smart person, so he can serve Zhao Ji. Seeing Wu Song's dark expression, he didn't dare to say anything, and just stood there obediently.

    Looking at the soldiers and horses filing out from behind, the eunuch was so frightened that his legs were shaking.

    Chao Yong walked up to the middle-aged eunuch and said with a smile: "You are very smart. Cooperate well with us. I will reward you with a sum of money afterwards and let you leave the palace and become a rich man."

    This eunuch also knew the cruelty of the palace coup, and if he heard it, he could save his life. He nodded quickly and said: "My lord, just tell me, and I will definitely do it."

    Chao Yong nodded and said: "Take us to the place where we will go to court."

    The eunuch said cautiously: "Sir, do you want to go to Wende Hall or Chuigong Hall?"

    Chao Yong wondered: "What are these two halls for?"

    The eunuch saw that Chao Yong didn¡¯t even know the purpose of these two halls. He was obviously not a member of the court. Could he be a member of the four major bandits?  Thinking that they might be the four major bandits, the eunuch's fear increased even more.

    In their perception, Jianghu grass bandits are extremely cruel and kill without blinking an eye.

    Eunuch be carefulHe said: "Cui Gong Hall is the place where people go to court. If the emperor leaves early, he will rest in Wen De Hall and wait until all civil and military officials are gathered before going to Chui Gong Hall."

    The Chui Gong Hall is where the emperor works, and the Wende Hall is where the emperor performs his duties, ensuring that he is the last one to appear.  If you want to catch all the civil and military officials in one go, you naturally have to go to the Wende Hall, wait for all the officials to come together, and then catch the turtle in the urn.

    "Go to Wende Hall."

    Chao Yong and his party have all put on the clothes of the Forbidden Army. After several battles, Daliang is not short of Song Dynasty clothes and armor.

    It was still dark at this time, and no one was walking around in the palace. Only the Imperial Guards stood in some important places.

    Seeing the emperor leading a group of guards to the front hall, no one dared to ask.

    When you arrive at the Wende Hall, you can see the Chui Gong Hall.

    There are two forbidden soldiers standing a few feet apart in front of the Chui Gong Palace, extending all the way to the palace gate. There are always dozens of people.  The officials entered through the main entrance of the Chui Gong Hall, while the emperor could enter the Chui Gong Hall through a side door from the Wende Hall and walk directly to the high platform where the dragon chair was placed.

    Wu Song observed for a while and said: "Prince, if I take people to replace the imperial army in front, we can catch the turtle in the jar when all the officials go in."

    Chao Yong shook his head and said: "All the officials must have some impression of these forbidden troops. The sudden change of faces may arouse their vigilance. Let's just wait here with peace of mind. When all the civil and military officials are here, we will divide our troops into two groups.  , Just block the side door and the main entrance. Okay, let's take a rest in this hall, just keep a few people on guard."

    But everyone had been recuperating for a long time, and because they were curious about the palace, they were all looking around at the luxurious furnishings in the palace, and they didn't feel much sleepy.

    Chao Yong, however, felt a little sleepy after being excited, so he lay down on the bed where Zhao Ji usually rested and fell asleep.

    "Prince, wake up."

    I don¡¯t know how long I slept before Chao Yong was awakened by Wu Song.

    Chao Yong opened his eyes and saw that everyone in the hall had gathered. He stood up and said, "Are all the officials here?"

    Wu Song nodded and said: "We are all here, it's time for Zhao Ji to go to court."

    "Okay, you take your soldiers to block the main entrance of Chui Gong Hall. Shi Xiu and I will escort Zhao Ji through the side entrance."

    Hearing this, Wu Song hurriedly said: "Prince, please bring some people with you, so that no one can save this dog emperor."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "Shi Xiu just needs to hold him, no one dares to risk saving him, and no one can bear the responsibility for the emperor's death." (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!  )
