    A bloody night in Bianjing!  Although there are no clues about the murderer, its identity is not difficult to guess. Almost everyone knows that it was the work of King Qin.  Zhao Zhao was not hypocritical at all and generously admitted his somewhat cruel method.  It is difficult to avoid bloodshed during a mutiny involving a change of throne.  The only successful example may be the Chenqiao Mutiny of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin. Si Hantong, a guard of the Forbidden Army, died that night. It is a classic.  ¡°It¡¯s true on the surface, but is there another death secretly?  how many?  Is this really effective?  After the Chenqiao Mutiny, the Song Dynasty experienced the impact of two rebellions by Li Jun and Li Chongjin. Zhao Kuangyin only took full control of the situation after experiencing the military power of a glass of wine.  Zhao Zhao didn¡¯t have that much time to imitate Emperor Taizu¡¯s methods and achieve peaceful evolution.  The Liao army has moved south, and the defense line on Hebei Road has begun to become tense.  If the major issue in Bianjing cannot be resolved quickly, the Liao people may take advantage of it.  This is a situation that Zhao Zhao does not want to see. There is no doubt that it must be resolved quickly.  Furthermore, the current situation is completely different from that of the Chenqiao mutiny.  On the night of the Chenqiao mutiny, with Shi Shouxin and Wang Shenqi as internal responders, the army could enter the city calmly.  But now, Zhao Zheng has no internal response, so he can only use this method to create internal response.  Sure enough, after a night of bloodshed, the officials and generals in Bianjing were a little scared.  Because those who died were loyal supporters of the Queen Mother and King Yang.  King Qin is once again using iron-blooded means to tell everyone that if anyone continues to support Gao Taotao, the next tragedy of annihilation will happen to him.  Some people may think that King Qin is cruel.  But in the face of the battle for the throne.  Where is the mercy?  After all, King Qin's foundation in Bianjing was relatively shallow.  If it were not for iron-blooded means, it would not have the effect of deterrence at all.  Zhao Zhao not only has to consider the defeat of Bianjing, but also the overall situation in the future.  If you want to be stable in the future, you must clean up some people. Where will the future be as convenient as it is now?  When the time comes, they will all be his own ministers, and cleaning them up will harm the emperor's sanctity.  It is not as convenient as it is now, freeing up some positions for the future ministers of Conglong.  Now the two armies are facing each other.  Eliminating opponents is a matter of course.  While intimidating the guard, it also told everyone that King Qin also had a tricky side, so as to establish King Qin's power and make people awe.  Of course, there must also be an explanation for ordinary people.  Zhao Zhao didn't want to leave a stain in the minds of the people, so he announced the crimes of all the deceased people.  There is a saying that birds of a feather flock together, so how many of them can be innocent with Gao Taotao and Zhao Xu?  Thirty-seven dead people, almost all of whom were guilty of heinous crimes.  Belongs to the type of people who deserve to die.  Even though the act of exterminating a family is still quite frowned upon.  But after all, the negative voices have become much smaller.  "The ones who are really frightened are the officials who have relations with Gao Taotao and Zhao Hao, or the generals who are still serving them.  They were really scared.  King Qin¡¯s methods were so powerful that he could kill hundreds of people silently in one night, which proved that King Qin had extremely powerful power in Bianjing City.  This force will threaten the security of the city defense, and even threaten your own life.  Everyone can see that this is a warning.  If someone persists in his obsession, he might be the one who gets wiped out.  Strengthen protection?  Assassins are hard to guard against. How many people dare to joke with their own lives?  Some people may be determined to die and serve the Queen Mother and King Yang, but they must also consider the safety of their families.  You can't risk the lives of your parents, wife, and children just for your stupid loyalty, right?  Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot have both sides, but today's loyalty is foolish loyalty, but the price is unfilial piety. It seems needless to say how to choose.  There are many people who are already interested!  Furthermore, the Queen Mother and King Yang have completely disappointed people. Although the sixth prince succeeded to the throne, the Queen Mother is the heroine who listens to politics behind the curtain!  Since the precedent of Wu Zetian, the literati of the past dynasties have been more sensitive to this and do not want to see Si Chen's situation.  Sometimes even if you have to tolerate it, there is a bottom line.  For example, in the early years of Renzong, the Empress Dowager Liu E was in charge of the government, but Empress Dowager Liu was still more convincing, and even Emperor Renzong himself praised her highly.  But what does it mean to be eloquent?  A vicious woman, she created this terrible situation with her own hands.  ¡°I had a lot of criticism against him, but now I don¡¯t want to accompany her all the way to the dark side.  Disappointment, then despair.    Think about Zhao Zongchu, the king of Nanyang County, whose body was found on Zhouqiao.  Their whole family was here, and it was against common sense for the dignified prince to show up at Zaizhou Bridge with his whole family in the middle of the night.  The large amount of gold and silver they brought with them betrayed their purpose, which was to escape.  The Prince of Nanyang is the new younger brother of Yingzong Zhao Zongshi. He has no confidence and is ready to run away. This shows how bad the situation is.  The best relatives are giving up. How can ordinary generals be willing to stick to it?  It would be foolish to persist any longer. Some people were ready to give the Queen Mother a taste of betrayal and alienation, leaving a way out for themselves.  So, some generals gathered at the house of Guo Kui, the general who defended the city.  Guo Kui was the general who conquered Jiaozhi in the south. He was a direct descendant of the Imperial Guards in Beijing and was very loyal. If not for this, Zhao Xu would not have appointed him as the general of Bianjing city defense.  Faced with the trust of the officials, Guo Kui originally planned to swear allegiance to the death.  But the official Zhao Xu passed away, which made him feel empty.     what to do?  A huge question mark appeared in Guo Kui's mind. From the perspective of loyalty to the emperor, he should remain loyal.  But some close subordinates gave him another meaning of "loyalty".  That means being loyal to the Song Dynasty.  It doesn¡¯t matter who the emperor is. First of all, they are all generals of the Song Dynasty and must be loyal to this country.  The Liao Kingdom invaded the south on a large scale. Under such circumstances, it is self-evident who can turn the tide?  The generals under his command made it very clear that they were not loyal to the King of Qin, but actually for the sake of the Song Dynasty.  The Empress Dowager Gao Taotao's behavior was completely based on her own selfish desires regardless of the safety of the Song Dynasty.  A woman¡¯s views will ultimately harm the country!  Guo Kui began to feel excited. He had already made a mistake when he conquered Jiaozhi.  If it hadn't been for his carelessness, he might have captured the entire Jiaozhi and completely eliminated the hidden danger in the southern part of the Song Dynasty.  Now, what should I do if something goes wrong on the northern border of the Song Dynasty because of my own hesitation?  Furthermore, for the people of Bianjing, the longer the war drags on, the more they will be affected and the more danger they will face.  Guo Kui did not want to be a sinner. At the same time, he also clearly realized that the generals and soldiers under his command had lost their confidence and courage.  The military spirit had already flown outside the city and went to the central army tent of His Highness the King of Qin.  Do you expect such an army to be able to withstand the powerful Western Army?     Stop dreaming!  The generals who came to persuade me today are all of great importance.  Many of them are descendants or former disciples of the general families of the Song Dynasty, and many of them have connections with the Cao family and the Pan family.  This is the attitude of the general and the final respect for him as the general.  Maybe it¡¯s time to make a choice. Guo Kui knew that if he hesitated any longer, other generals might take the lead.  People have given you face, but if you don¡¯t want it By then, your situation and actions will be very embarrassing, and there may even be adverse consequences.  Therefore, a decision must be made as soon as possible But Gao Taotao made a decision yesterday. The Bianjing city defense army was divided into two parts, one half led by Guo Kui and the other half led by Di Yong.  Di Yong is the husband of Princess Qinghe and a close relative of the current Queen Mother and Prince Yang. What will his attitude be?  Guo Kui couldn¡¯t help but feel worried.  He didn¡¯t know that a special guest had walked into Princess Qinghe¡¯s mansion at this moment.  (To be continued)
