As soon as he entered the palace, Zhao Huan found that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the palace.

Although the Forbidden Army that originally guarded the palace city was also called the Forbidden Army, in terms of equipment and benefits, the Forbidden Army that guarded the palace city was not the same thing as the 200,000 Imperial Army led by Zhao Jixiang.

If the 200,000 forbidden troops led by Zhao Jixiang were raised by his biological mother, then the forbidden troops originally led by He Guan and responsible for guarding the palace city could only be regarded as raised by his stepmother.

In addition, the Song Dynasty also had various armies and generals——

For example, the Shengjie Army led by Tong Guan, the Western Army led by Zhong Shidao, the Qin Feng Army led by Zhong Shizhong, etc., coupled with the wonderful military system of the Song Dynasty, there were Yang Jiajiang and Hu Jiajiang.

(Although his surname is Huyan), he is called a general of the family, etc.

In short, the military system of the Song Dynasty was just like the official system of the Song Dynasty. It was as chaotic as possible. Basically, the advantages of the Han Dynasty were not inherited, but all the shortcomings of the small courts during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period were inherited.

It's been inherited.

However, no matter how ridiculous the military system of the Song Dynasty was, Zhao Huan could not believe the scene before him.

A group of eunuchs were busy moving the corpses, a group of palace maids were rushing back and forth carrying water to clean up, while the other two groups of forbidden soldiers with blood dripping from their swords were facing each other in a tense confrontation. Both sides ignored the blood-soaked ground and were in perfect agreement.

He let the palace maids and eunuchs clean up the mess, and each focused their attention on the other.

It seemed that they were not the ones who had just joined forces to eliminate another group of forbidden troops.

The arrival of the royal chariot interrupted the extremely strange atmosphere in front of them. The two groups of imperial guards who had just been confronting each other were vaguely on guard, but they turned around to face Zhao Huan, then knelt down on one knee and worshiped Zhao Huan: "

I humble myself and wait to see the official!"

He looked at the palace maid and eunuch who was kneeling on the ground, and then at the two groups of imperial guards who were still on guard against each other even after they were surrounded by the imperial guards led by Zhao Huan. Zhao Huan's face couldn't help but darken: "Who will tell me?

, what on earth is going on?”

The leader of the group of imperial guards on the left raised his head, clasped his fists and replied: "Qizuo Guanjia, my humble position is a captain under the Imperial City Department, and I was ordered to guard the palace gate. Those who were killed were patrolling with the emperor."

The Imperial Guards of Bozhou came to take over the defense of the palace without an edict, and they are complicit in the rebellion!"

After explaining to Zhao Huan the group of forbidden soldiers who were killed, the head of the Imperial City Division pointed to the forbidden soldiers who were also kneeling next to him and said: "They originally came to take over the defense together with those forbidden soldiers.

But he suddenly turned his back and killed those imperial guards."

"What an injustice!"

The leader of another group of forbidden troops also raised his head, clasped his fists and said, "I am going to report to the officials. I am a subordinate of Tong Xianggong's subordinate Shengjie Army. Those who were killed were the forbidden troops under the command of Taiwei Gao."

"Tong Guan? Gao Qiu?"

Zhao Huan's expression couldn't help but become more exciting: "What do they want to do?"

"Go back to the official's house."

The commander of the Shengjie Army replied: "The Imperial Guards under Gao Taiwei were ordered to come and close the palace gates. Tong Xianggong ordered his subordinates to help guard the palace gates to prevent Gao Taiwei's Imperial Guards from closing the palace gates. Wang Guan

Jia Mingjian!"

"In this case, you can abandon your swords and armor and hand over the defense to the guards I lead."

Zhao Huan looked at the two distinct groups of forbidden troops with a smile, and said: "I will give you an explanation after the matter is found out."

"I humbly honor my decree!"

Whether it was the commander of the Shengjie Army or the commander of the Imperial City Division, they all agreed happily at this time, and then led their respective subordinates to put their swords and guns aside, took off their armor, and let Zhao Huan lead them.

The Imperial Guard took charge.

"It's interesting, it's getting more and more interesting."

Zhao Huan smiled and glanced at Wuxin, Zhongshidao, He Ji and others who were following him, and ordered: "Follow me to the Zichen Palace to see what the emperor is singing."

…

After being questioned by Empress Dowager Meng, Zhao Jixiang became more and more at a loss, and Empress Dowager Meng looked down on Zhao Jixiang more and more.

After all, he has been an official for decades. No matter how bad he is, he is still a man. How could he be so soft-hearted? How come he doesn't have the slightest sense of responsibility!

"Where is the warrior in front of the palace?"

After sighing, Empress Dowager Meng simply ignored Zhao Jixiang, whose face was as gloomy as water, and said directly: "Cai Jing's sin of alienating the Tian family is unforgivable. All the soldiers will not take it with me!"

"My lord, take your orders!"

Wang Zongliu responded with his fists clasped to Empress Dowager Meng behind the bead curtain, and then shouted to the soldiers in front of the palace: "Get Cai Jing!"

"Let me see who dares!"

Zhao Jixiang finally hardened up, pointed at Wang Zonglio and said: "I am right here. If you want to capture Cai Qing, why not step over my body first?"

Seeing Wang Zonglio's expression as ugly as if he had eaten dog shit, Zhao Jixiang became more and more stubborn: "Now, are you going to rebel? I was blind in the first place, so I let you become the commander-in-chief of the palace!"

Now, it wasn't just Wang Zongmao who looked ugly, the faces of He Guan, Li Gang and others were also particularly ugly.

It's okay for Zhao Jixiang to call everyone ungrateful villains in one sentence. He acted like a rogue in the court with the dignity of the emperor. This is really disgusting——

Although everyone knows that Zhao Jixiang is probably a quarrel with him now, but we can't really threaten Zhao Jixiang in the temple, right? If this matter was spread today, wouldn't it have a huge impact on the Song Dynasty, which ruled the world with filial piety?

The reputation of the official family?

Zhao Jixiang also became more and more aggressive: "I want to see who dares to hurt Cai Qing's family today!"

"I dare!"

Seeing that Li Gang, Wang Zongliu and others were holding the rogue Zhao Jixiang, they were helpless. After the bead curtains rattled, Empress Dowager Meng appeared holding a dragon-headed crutch: "What the Ai family is holding is a dragon-headed crutch given by the current officials.

He promised the Ai family to beat up the emperor and his sycophants! If you insist on protecting him, the Ai family will beat you too!"

Step by step, she walked towards Zhao Jixiang and Cai Jing who was hiding behind Zhao Jixiang. Empress Dowager Meng sneered and said, "The Ai family would like to know whether you, Mr. Zhao, still recognize the imperial sister-in-law of the Ai family!"

Isn't it just cheating!

If you, Zhao Jixiang, can cheat on you as the emperor, then naturally Aijia can cheat on you as the late emperor and empress!

"Sister-in-law, please don't bully me too much!"

Zhao Jixiang stared at Empress Dowager Meng with a ferocious expression and said: "After all, swords and guns have no eyes. If I accidentally hurt the emperor's wife, how will I face the world?"

Changes occur suddenly!

No one in the entire court could have imagined that Tong Guan, who had just been standing behind Zhao Jixiang with Cai Jing, suddenly grabbed Cai Jing's arm and turned it around, snatched a waist knife from a guard next to him, and then dragged Cai Jing far away.

After leaving Zhao Jixiang and Gao Qiu, he pushed Cai Jing to the ground and said in a deep voice: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, Cai Jing has been captured!"

Everyone looked at Tong Guan in confusion, whether it was Zhao Jixiang who wanted to scare Empress Dowager Meng just now, or Empress Dowager Meng who wanted to use the dragon-head crutch and the identity of the Queen Mother to overpower Zhao Jixiang, or even Gao Qiu from Zhao Jixiang's faction.

Li Gang, Li Ruobing and others from Zhao Huan's faction all looked at Tong Guan in confusion.

He is dark and strong, with a beard on his face, which has nothing to do with the four words "white face without beard". It is far from the classic description of eunuchs as "looking not like a human form, not hearing like a human voice, not looking at human feelings"

The description is completely different. Tong Guan looks more like a military general than a dead eunuch. At this time, he is twisting Cai Jing's arm, and he really looks like a fierce general who is killing generals and seizing the flag!

"What are you doing?"

Shocked and angry, Zhao Jixiang looked at Tong Guan and shouted: "You are crazy!"

Tong Guan shook his head and replied: "It's not that I'm crazy, it's that you, the Emperor, are crazy. You've been crazy since you decided to cede three towns in Hebei in exchange for Jin Bing's support in returning to Beijing and restoring power!

"

"Bianjing is not Chang'an. There are no natural dangers to defend. Taiyuan and the Yellow River are the gateways to Bianjing. If you cede Taiyuan to the Jin people, won't the Jin people come and leave as they please? Although the old slave is not a good thing.

, but this old slave cannot go crazy with you and give away the country of Song Dynasty to others!"

After glancing at the uproar in the court, and then at Gao Qiu who was holding the sword in his hand, Tong Guan continued: "Gao Qiu, if you can't beat me, you'd better throw away the knife in your hand.

The imperial army you sent to pick up the city defense has been intercepted and killed by my victorious army. Now the officials can return to the palace without any hindrance, and I will die to thank the emperor."

"Ha! Not bad, not bad! It's really wonderful! It's really wonderful!"

Just when everyone's attention was focused on Tong Guan and Gao Qiu, Zhao Huan had already entered the Zichen Hall with a smile on his face, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Unexpected, unexpected, I really opened my eyes today."

As Zhao Huan's voice fell, hundreds of Imperial City soldiers who had followed Zhao Huan to conquer Taiyuan were already holding weapons in their hands. They rushed into the Zichen Palace and surrounded everyone.

"Meet the official."

Tong Guan actually stopped caring about Cai Jing. Instead, he dropped the sword in his hand and bowed to Zhao Huan: "I have been confused all my life. I used to think that I could get ahead by relying on Cai Jing's head. However, I left Bian Jing.

The closer I get, the clearer I can see, and the thought fades away."

He took out a tiger talisman from his waist and threw it in front of Zhao Huan. Tong Guan continued: "This is the tiger talisman for the Shengjie Army to mobilize troops. I will hand it over to the officials today. I only hope that the officials will allow me to commit suicide in front of the emperor."

"

Zhao Huan nodded, waved his hand and ordered people to tie up Tong Guan and Cai Jingdu, and then calmly walked to Zhao Jixiang and Zhao Kai who were completely stunned.

The hand-relieving knife that suddenly appeared in his sleeve suddenly stabbed Zhao Kai's chest. Zhao Huan's expression was particularly ferocious: "Collude with Cai Jing to cause trouble for me? Huh? This is my kingdom. Just you, do you want to come and take a seat?"

Um?"

Pushing away Zhao Kai, who was completely dead, Zhao Huan glanced at Zhao Jixiang, who had looming wet spots under his dragon robe, but ignored Zhao Jixiang at all, and walked to the dragon chair calmly, mocking as he walked: "Where is the historian?

"

The historian, who only felt the beeping dog in his heart, had no choice but to step out and bowed: "I am here."

Zhao Huan turned around and sat on the dragon chair, and asked with a smile: "How should the history books record today's events?"

In the historian's heart, he no longer felt that he had beeped the dog, but that he had beeped the donkey——

How should it be recorded in the history books? If I say that I am prepared to record it truthfully, can I still walk out of the Zichen Palace alive?

"On the thirteenth day of the third month of the first year of Jingkang, the emperor returned to the capital with his troops, intending to resume power. I led my troops back from Taiyuan and killed King Yun Kai in the palace."

Without waiting for the historian to answer, Zhao Huan said to himself: "What happened today, you can record it exactly as it is, and I will never interfere. Just let Li Er do things like forcing history books and deleting them. I don’t even bother to do it.”

After waving his hand and ordering the historian to return to court, Zhao Huancai turned his attention to Zhao Jixiang again: "My father is not cultivating immortality in Bozhou. Do you plan to return to power when you return to Beijing?"
