Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After Chao Yong reached an agreement with Zhong Shidao, Chao Yong, Wu Song, and Wang Jin rushed to Tokyo. Lu Zhishen stayed in Weizhou, while Shi Xiu went to Shaohua Mountain to take Zhu Wu, Shi Jin, Yang Chun, and Chen Da.  People go back.

    Chao Yong agreed to send 50,000 soldiers and horses to support the northwest, but he could not use all the 50,000 reorganized Tokyo Forbidden Army, so he had to send 20,000 Lu Zhishen and Li Congji who stayed in Tokyo, plus 30,000 Tokyo Forbidden Army. After more than ten days, the preliminary  The reorganization should also be completed. Although it is still unable to go to the battlefield, it should not be a big problem to use it to defend the city. After all, the remaining imperial troops have also been training for a long time, and the Western Army is unable to fight in the short term, so it will be good to be able to defend the city.

    The military situation in the northwest is urgent, and 50,000 soldiers and horses will arrive as soon as possible. Lu Zhishen will have to lead his troops to the northwest immediately when he returns. Chao Yong simply lets him save the trip back and forth.

    Chao Yong and the three of them worked hard all the way. They set off on the road before dawn and set up shop after dark. Within three days, they returned to Tokyo.

    Before Chao Yong returned, Chao Gai and his party also rushed to Tokyo day and night. After publicly executing the seven thieves and some corrupt officials, they opened the city gates.

    Tokyo city has now returned to its former prosperity. All the businesses on both sides of the street are open for business, and there is an endless stream of pedestrians on the road. There is no panic caused by the change of dynasty.

    Tokyo was able to regain its prosperity so quickly because of the strict military discipline of Daliang. After Daliang soldiers and horses entered the city, soldiers were strictly prohibited from harassing the people. A few blind idle thugs took the opportunity to plunder. After being caught by Daliang soldiers and horses, they all beheaded in public. Suddenly,  It shocked all the restless people in the city.

    After Chao Gai killed the seven thieves, he opened the city gates. Most people were unwilling to abandon their family business and leave their hometowns. The few who wanted to leave were afraid of the chaos outside and lost their lives, so very few people moved out of Tokyo.

    Chao Yong and the others entered the city and went straight to the palace.

    The guards outside the palace were replaced by Chao Gai's personal soldiers. When they saw Chao Yong coming back, they hurriedly straightened their backs, straightened their spears in their hands, and shouted: "See the prince."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "My father is in the palace, right?"

    The guard said respectfully: "I don't know, but the emperor did not leave the palace from here."

    There are still several doors to enter and exit the palace. Although the guards guessed that the emperor should be in the palace, they still dare not make a conclusion.

    Chao Yong nodded to the guards and led Wu Song and Wang into the palace.

    The three of them had just entered the palace and met Xu Ning who was about to leave the palace.

    Xu Ning saw Chao Yong hurrying up, cupped his fists and said, "I've seen the prince."

    Chao Yong nodded and said with a smile: "Looking at General Xu's proud look, things in the palace must have gone smoothly."

    Before Chao Yong went to the northwest, he made Xu Ning the commander of the palace guard army.

    Xu Ning smiled and said: "It's all thanks to the support of the prince. The imperial guards in the palace have been integrated. All critical areas are guarded by the emperor's former personal soldiers. Except for a few elite soldiers from the Song Dynasty, all the imperial guards were transferred to the Forbidden Army and handed over to Coach Lin."

    Chao Yong nodded and said: "General Xu is doing his job, I can rest assured. Does General Xu know where my father is now?"

    Xu Ning said: "We should be discussing political affairs with the two prime ministers in the political hall. I will accompany the prince."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "I know the place, you can go about your business."

    The Political Affairs Hall is the place where the Prime Minister and the Councilor hold political affairs offices. It is located in the palace. Chao Yong had walked around the palace a few times, and he still had an impression of the Political Affairs Hall.

    Outside the political hall where the three of them had just arrived, they saw an eunuch running in as if he had seen a ghost, and then ran out panting, saying respectfully: "Prince, please come in."

    Chao Yong asked strangely: "Why are you so anxious and fussy?"

    The eunuch said with a flattering look on his face: "I saw the prince coming, so I went to report to the emperor first, so that the prince would not wait outside."

    When Chao Yong heard this, he also knew that this was the rule of the palace.  Obviously, wherever the emperor goes, there is a restricted area. Without the emperor's summons, I am afraid that the prime minister will not be able to enter and exit the political hall at will.

    Chao Yong saw that the eunuch was in his thirties and was very capable. He smiled and said, "You usually serve the emperor?"

    "The villain Zhao De is valued by the emperor and serves the emperor personally."

    Zhao De used to be a small steward of the palace. A few days ago, he was valued by Chao Gai and became Chao Gai's personal eunuch. He was also in charge of the affairs of the palace.

    "However, the eunuchs in Daliang have lost the prestige of the eunuchs in the Song Dynasty. They have no official positions and cannot interfere in political affairs. They only serve the royal family.  But after all, he is the emperor's personal person, and the ministers still respect him in awe.

    Zhao De naturally knew that the ministers feared the emperor rather than him, so he was very careful and did not dare to take advantage of the opportunity to act arrogant, lest the emperor find out and replace him.

    Zhao De¡¯s private addressMy Majesty has also inquired a lot about Daliang, but I know that the most prestigious person in Daliang is the prince. It can be said that the world of Daliang is conquered by the prince, and the emperor has no intention of having another prince. The prince today must be the emperor in the future.  .

    So after seeing Chao Yong coming back, he immediately ran in and reported to Chao Gai.

    Chao Yong and the others entered the political hall and saw Chao Gai sitting behind a sandalwood table, while Wu Yong, Zhao Mingcheng, and Zhang Shuye were sitting outside.

    Before Chao Yong could speak, Chao Gai said first, "Yong'er is back?"

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "I just came back, and I have already convinced the old general Zhongshi Dao. He will help us lobby the northwest state capital to submit to me, Daliang."

    Chao Gai heard that Chao Yong had persuaded Xianggong, the most famous old manager, and said happily: "Okay, Yong'er did a good job, tell us about the northwest."

    Chao Yong immediately told everything about what happened to him in the northwest.

    Chao Gai said: "In this case, Xixia may invade the border at any time, so I ordered the army to rush to the northwest. I sent Li Congji and Lu Zhishen 20,000 people, plus the newly reorganized Li Ying, Sun Li, and Yang Zhi 30,000 people.  Fulfill my promise to Lao Zhongjinglue."

    Chao Yong said: "After sending these 50,000 people to the northwest, how many soldiers and horses will be left in Tokyo City?"

    Chao Gai smiled and said: "Instructor Lin organized 60,000 new troops. After dispatching 50,000, there are still 30,000 new troops and Instructor Lin's 10,000 veterans, which is enough to guard the capital."

    With that said, he said to Wu Song: "You are also the commander of ten thousand men. Later, you go to the Ministry of War to apply for official documents."

    Wu Song cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "Then who are the other two captains of ten thousand?"

    Chao Gai said: "Hua Rong and Mu Hong."

    Chao Yong was a little surprised to hear that these were his confidants, but it was difficult to ask in front of everyone, and he added: "I also promised to give General Zhong the post of Taiwei, and also asked my father to issue another imperial edict.  "

    Chao Gai nodded and said: "Okay, with the old master's prestige, even being a privy envoy is not an exaggeration. By the way, there is also this instructor Wang Jin. I have also heard instructor Lin say that you are good at training soldiers and horses.  ¡±

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "Instructor Wang is unique in his training of soldiers and horses, but he was not reused before and could not use his fists and kicks. I had the courage to accept the post of chief instructor and asked my father for permission."

    Chao Gai smiled and said: "Okay, I will issue the decree." (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
