Chapter 911: Adding fuel to the fire

Zhao Yu came to this era for the first time to encounter this kind of hooligan dominating the street, so that he thought that under his rule, it was already a peaceful and prosperous era where the night was not closed, but he didn't expect that today's brigade would encounter this bloody incident. And their own imperial guards all carry their own logos, especially the guard battalion is wearing a unique black uniform, this thing is known to those who have eyes in Beijing, who will back down a little bit, but today this goods actually dare to find trouble, not a fool, that is, there is a battle.

"Put it down, don't hurt anyone!" Zhao Yu knew that Ni Liang was powerful, and his posture was to throw people out, if it was true, the goods would be half-crippled if they were not dead, and he didn't dare to 'offend' easily for people with heels, so he hurriedly stopped.

"Get out, dare to come here to find trouble, don't you know death?" When Ni Liang heard the words of the little emperor, he put down his family with reluctance, and retreated from him and shouted, but this time, he couldn't stand it, and staggered back a few steps before he stood firm.

"The fifth son, this person led the crowd to rush into the marching procession, and stepped forward to dissuade him, but he accidentally knocked over the lamp bowl on his head and burned his hair. The lowly helped them to extinguish the fire, and they also paid for it, but they still did not forgive and blocked the way. "The officers of the guard battalion who are in charge of opening the way, knowing that when His Majesty does not want to reveal his identity, he is called the fifth prince, Shi Li said.

"Xu Feng, do you know who they are?" Zhao Hao heard that these people seemed to be deliberately trying to make trouble, but what he couldn't figure out was how bold they were, and they dared to use their own guards to open the knife, so he asked suspiciously.

"The fifth prince, I don't know this person, he should be a new magnate, and others in the capital don't dare to provoke the guard camp." Xu Feng replied.

"Oh, that's interesting, you guys pay attention to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the loopholes!" Zhao Hao felt strange, this headless and brainless provocation to his guards, I don't know what my intentions are.

"I know you, others are afraid of you, the imperial protector, but Benhou is not afraid of you. Now that you have injured Ben Hou and beaten Ben Hou's relatives on the street, you will definitely give an explanation today! The guy who had burned his hair straightened his clothes at this time, pulled his hair back to his head and tied it up with a brocade ribbon, shook the folding fan and stepped forward and pointed his finger at Ni Liangdao.

"It doesn't matter who you are, dare to block the march of the brigade in front of the street, and act in the same military law!" Who is Ni Liang, except for the emperor in his eyes, no matter what position you are in, he will not put it in his eyes, besides, he is a marquis who does not know, and he stretched out his hand and took the knife.

"You dare to despise the Holy One, I am the Marquis of Xianping, who was personally appointed by His Majesty, and today's uncle is not something that you can be humiliated by a soldier. Just wait for Benhou to go back to the Empress Ming, and tomorrow I will put you in prison for punishment! But the man was not afraid, and stepped forward.

"Childe, look ......" Ni Liang looked him up and down, but he didn't know him, but he didn't rush to do anything when he heard his self-report, but scratched his scalp and twisted his face to ask the little emperor.

"It's rude, I don't know which Hou Ye it is?" Zhao Yu was even more confused when he heard this, he married six wives at once, and as usual, he sealed all the children of his family, but he didn't know which cheap brother-in-law or brother-in-law this was, and he also knew that the Marquis of Xianping was just a county marquis, and he was still a little worse than Ni Liang, and he dared to provoke him, but he relied on the identity of the national uncle. He asked, taking a lantern and reaching over its face to look at it carefully.

"A first-order soldier, but he dares to be so rude to Ben Hou!" That guy is not an ignorant person, he still knows the class in the army, seeing that Zhao Hao is wearing a bare plate military uniform without any logo, he just thinks that he is still a new soldier, but he doesn't know that this is the only one in the army, and waved his hand to knock the lantern down.

"Xianping Hou has such a big temper, you can know that this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and we are His Majesty's guards, you are so arrogant, I am afraid that it will be Your Majesty's face to lose!" Seeing this, Zhao Hao hurriedly stepped forward to extinguish the burning lantern and asked coldly.

"My Wu family has assisted the Great Song Dynasty for generations, and is famous in Jiangnan, if it is not for marrying my sister-in-law, how can he gain a foothold in Jiangnan, and how can he be pro-government, it is clear that my Wu family has given him face!" Hearing this, the man stepped forward and approached Zhao Yu and said with a wicked smile, while the entourage behind him laughed even more insolently when they heard it.

"Oh, it turns out that Marquis Xianping is the queen's brother, it's really disrespectful, it seems that you will have to take care of your Wu family in the future!" Zhao Hao wiped off the spittle that had been sprayed on his face, and saluted with his fists.

"Hmph, as long as Ni Dutong kneels down to make amends to Ben Hou, Ben Hou will no longer pursue this matter, otherwise inform the queen mother, Zhi'er and other disrespectful crimes!" That Xianping Hou snorted coldly and said arrogantly.

"Really? I want to see which sin the queen dares to cure? Zhao Yu straightened up and asked in a deep voice.

"What a big dog's guts, he dares to spit out wild words and despise the queen...... Oops! Xianping Hou didn't expect this little soldier to dare to provoke him repeatedly, and he couldn't help but be furious, and knocked on Zhao Yu with the folding fan in his hand. But what he didn't expect was that the 'little soldier' was even more horizontal than himself, snatching the fan that hit him with his left hand, and the horsewhip in his right hand slashed his head and covered his face, knocking him to the ground.

"Hit ...... Give Ben Hou a fight, and you have your own Ben Hou to call the shots! Xianpinghou didn't know how many whips he had received, he only knew the pain in his body, and he couldn't help yelling angrily.

"Hit!" The task of the guard battalion is to protect the safety of the emperor, and those who can enter the guard battalion are all junior officers carefully selected by various departments, the youngest of whom has also served as a team leader, not only has excellent military quality, but also knows some fists and feet, and will not be ambiguous under Yuan Miao's drills. And the most important thing is to be loyal to His Majesty and dare to sacrifice his life to protect the emperor in times of danger. In addition, it is necessary to absolutely obey the order, as long as the emperor gives an order, whether it is the important ministers of the court, or the royal relatives and nobles, or even the queen and the queen mother, there can be no ambiguity, and if you want to kill, you can't let them live.

Seeing a group of people coming straight to the little emperor, the officers and soldiers of the guard battalion didn't care about what kind of little county marquis you had, and Uncle Guo was a fart, so he immediately greeted him when he heard the order. The men and horses of the two sides quickly collided together, and the officers and men of the guard battalion all had actual combat experience, had seen blood, killed people, and were well-trained; And those family members may be good at street fighting, but when they encounter officers and soldiers, they will inevitably have weak legs, and besides, the other side is so powerful that they can't see their heads at all, even if one person pokes them with a finger, they can kill them, so they are cowardly before fighting.

"You really don't want to die, Ben Hou will enter the palace to face the saint and punish you!" In this case, the result is not difficult to judge, but the group of people from the Xianping Marquis Mansion who are just blinking an eye have been overturned to the ground, curled up on the ground and dare not move again, so as not to provoke the other party and be beaten again. But the Marquis of Xianping was still not convinced, and shouted for a high imperial state.

"Hehe......" Hearing that he was going to sue the emperor, a group of people in the guard camp were amused, and even Zhao Yu couldn't cry or laugh angrily, he had also seen such a stupid guy, and he couldn't find the temple gate when he cried.

"Marquis Xianping, you still don't ask for guilt to retreat!" Seeing that the little emperor had gone for a while, and the road had not yet been opened, Lu Xiufu hurriedly went to the front to check, and happened to hear what he said, and couldn't help but be shocked. Secretly scolded this Xianping Marquis really doesn't know death, the little emperor is having an opinion on the queen and wants to return to the palace to be accountable, and he said such a thing, isn't it like adding fuel to the fire, he saw that the little emperor's face sank, and hurriedly stopped.

"Meet Zuo Xiang, please forgive me if I don't know!" The Marquis of Xianping recognized Lu Xiufu, and when he saw his words, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed deeply.

"Thou shalt stop the holy driver, and thou shalt not ask for sin!" Lu Xiufu was even more bitter when he saw this, the little emperor was by his side, he didn't know it, and he saluted him, it was impossible for him to get rid of the relationship with the Wu family, but he could only urge him to ask for guilt at the moment.

"Zuo Xiang, is Your Majesty in the ranks?" When Xianping Hou heard this, he was a little scared, and his eyes looked around, but he didn't know that the real person was in front of him.

"Who is here to provoke, block the passage of the marching brigade, and still don't get out of the way!" At this moment, a group of officials pushed away the crowd and squeezed in, and one of them shouted first, but he could see the situation clearly, and immediately saluted Zhao Yu, "Your Majesty, your subordinates are not good to escort, please punish you!" ”

"Excuse me!" Zhao Yu seemed to be Yin Cai Wanyi of Lin'an Mansion, raised his hand and said, "Cai Zhifu, this person vainly claims to be the Marquis of Xianping, the current uncle of the country, not only blocking my driving, but also speaking disrespectful words, what crime should I be guilty of?" ”

"Your Majesty, behead!" Cai Wanyi said without hesitation.

"Slash!" Zhao Yu nodded, and said softly without looking at Xianping Hou, who was already frightened.

"Subordinates obey!" After Cai finished giving the ceremony, he immediately ordered the Marquis of Xianping and all the dogs to be taken down. Although the officers were not as effective as the guards in battle, they were not able to deal with the emergencies of the people than the guards, and the people were more afraid of these officers, so they immediately shouted and drove the crowd away with sticks, and soon opened the field, and a group of soldiers acted as executioners to press the bound people to the ground, and they were ready to behead.

"Your Majesty spares your life, Zuo Xiang helps!" The reflex arc of the Xianping Marquis was a little long, and when the knife pressed his neck, he realized that the little soldier was the real dragon, and kept begging.

"Your Majesty, the so-called ignorant is not to blame, and the Marquis of Xianping does not know His Majesty's true face, so it is understandable that he is disrespectful. Moreover, today is the eve of Shangyuan, the people gathered, and it is always an unlucky thing to kill people in the street on this good day and beautiful night, so it is better to deal with it after the festival! Lu Xiufu couldn't help but secretly scold Xianpinghou for being a fool, but he also knew that this matter implicated the queen, and even the trend of the court, so he had to plead hard.

"Your Majesty, hundreds of thousands of people are flocking to the royal street today, and at this moment, the beheaders are afraid of causing panic, and it will be difficult to suppress the riots at that time, so it is better to choose the time to execute them!" Cai Wanyi thought about it and stepped forward.

"Hmm!" Zhao Yu looked at it just for a while, the royal street has been blocked, as Cai Wanyi said, once the people are frightened and rush to flee first, it is inevitable that a stampede will occur, think about it, "Escort them to the palace gate with flail to show the public, in order to set an example, and then interrogate carefully, ask who instructed him, and who gave him such courage!" ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey!" Cai Wanyi saluted, and then commanded the officials to escort the prisoners, and led the troops to open the way in front......

With the assistance of the officials of Lin'an Mansion, the team began to move forward slowly, and the mood at this time was different. Zhao Hao's anger at the moment, after experiencing what happened just now, can be said to be superimposed again. A small Xianping Marquis dared to speak wildly, and he dared to let his pro-army kowtow to him, and what he was fighting was nothing more than the queen, and more appropriately was the intertwined power of the Wu family behind it.

And this can't help but arouse Zhao Hao's vigilance, a huge family of relatives is a serious threat to the imperial power; On the other hand, what made him unhappy was that he dared to say that he relied on him to stabilize Jiangnan, otherwise it would be impossible to even be pro-government. He didn't believe that the Wu family had the ability and guts, but judging from this person's words and deeds, it could not be ruled out that they had this kind of thought. And he knows that once a person has an idea, he will slowly form a self-psychological suggestion, feeling that he is the master of the country, and then he may involuntarily act with the expansion of ambition.

Zhao Yu knew that if he wanted to gain a firm foothold in Jiangnan, of course, he needed the support of the Shiren Group, and marriage was the fastest way, but it was also accompanied by increased risks. And once the relatives enter the court, and the collusion with the courtiers may form a back party, thus threatening the imperial power, or even replacing the imperial power, it can be said that he has cultivated a potential enemy for himself. This is the reason why the Great Song Dynasty has always forbidden his relatives to serve as governors, and it is also the reason why he has always opposed political marriages - he always has to pay it back when he comes out.

Lu Xiufu looked forward with an anxious face, and asked his relatives from time to time, as if he was looking forward to something. In fact, today he went to Wuxue to invite His Majesty back to the palace, but he was also worried that the little emperor would go to the 'extreme', and he would not hesitate to use force in order to achieve innovation, hoping that the transition could be completed in a peaceful way and would not cause turmoil in the imperial court.

When Lu Xiufu found out that the little emperor had been home for many days, but he was only discussing with the generals how to deal with the current enemy situation, he still breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect that a lantern festival would make the situation take a turn for the worse again, and the little emperor broke out, and he wanted to go back to the palace to ask the queen. And he also knew that the marriage between the little emperor and the Wu family, although he did not promote it alone, he also contributed to it. But it is not for personal gain, but just hopes to win over the Jiangnan scholars through the marriage with the Wu family and the old official eunuchs in Jiangnan, and at the same time, they can also draw talents from them and contribute to the country.

But it backfired, the little emperor was extremely resistant to this marriage, if it weren't for the queen mother's threat of allowing her to be 'pro-government', I was afraid that it would be difficult for the daughter of the Wu family to ascend to the throne. And he also knew that His Majesty only spent one day with the queen after the wedding, and then returned to his old residence, and he was very cold to her. The Wu family was ordered by the Empress Dowager to preside over the Lantern Festival, and it was indeed suspected of making a big deal regardless of the situation, and it was not that he did not have the intention of pleasing His Majesty, but it was just that he made his own decision without asking the little emperor. Now that the Marquis of Xianping has made such a fuss, the contradiction has intensified even more, and how to prevent the little emperor from acting 'impulsively' has become the most urgent thing......
