Chapter 168: The Sacrifice
Zhao Zhen stood in the courtyard of Gyeongbokgung Palace, the rising sun in winter was so warm but could not give him a trace of warmth, the death of his father Zhao Heng hit him hard, this familiar stranger shattered his illusions at the last moment of his life, the Great Song Dynasty was not as stable and prosperous as it seemed, it was like a flying stone on a cliff, as long as it was loosened below, it was very likely to fall into the abyss of no return.

Peng Qi, Li Jiu and the others stared closely at Zhao Zhen who walked out of the palace gate, just now they vaguely heard Chen Lin crying in the hall, could it be that the official family has already made a big deal? Including the royal classes mobilized from the Daqing Palace, they quietly waited for Zhao Zhen's instructions.
Chen Lin walked out of the main hall with the edict and two square boxes, "The official family is in heaven...... The edict is here, and the crown prince Zhao Zhen receives the edict! Everyone was stunned by Chen Lin's words, but they didn't expect the official family to really die like this!
Zhao Zhen slowly knelt down in front of the palace, and the forbidden army behind him also knelt down with Hula, Chen Lin trembled and unfolded the edict and read it aloud, in fact, this edict should have been read in front of the civil and military officials in the Daqing Palace, but now it is a special period when King Rong is rebellious outside, and there are still remnants of the government and government, so it is better to read the edict here as a fait accompli.
In this way, even if the crown prince has inherited the throne, he is just missing a grand enthronement ceremony, and when things calm down, there will be a plan by Kou Xianggong and a group of courtiers.
Chen Lin changed Zhao Zhen into a dragon robe in public, and the edict was sent to the generals of the current forbidden army to circulate, "Take the Great Song Emperor's divine treasure!" ”
The soldiers of the three guards and the royal squads bowed down the mountain and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
Zhao Zhen looked at the soldiers of Shanhu Long Live blankly, there was neither excitement nor hesitation in his heart, people are often confused first after suddenly getting what they dreamed of, and everything came so suddenly that he was a little overwhelmed.
A big box was opened, the so-called emperor treasure is actually a jade seal made by Taizu, although it is a box but there is more than one jade seal, Zhao Zhen took it and found that there were actually three jade seals stacked together.
The jade seal is, the treasure of the emperor Chengtian, the treasure of the emperor, the treasure of the Great Song Dynasty, three pieces, although each piece can represent the supreme right of the emperor, but the meaning is not the same, the treasure of the emperor Chengtian represents the right of heaven, the emperor treasure represents the emperor himself, the treasure of the Great Song Dynasty represents the country, the bright yellow brocade silk in the wooden box is written clearly, and the use of each jade seal is on it, which is sacrificial, court, and national three.
Liu E's body on the palace wall trembled, no one knew the meaning of the three jade seals better than her, only by getting the treasure of the Great Song Emperor could she be regarded as truly reaching the pinnacle of power, before she just used her own Feng Ming seal to replace the jade seal of the official family.
Although the courtiers recognized Feng Mingxi's rights, this was only the supervision of the country, and if the dynasty weighed the system, the emperor's jade seal of the official family could be used. But until he died, Zhao Heng didn't give himself this right, and now he is in the hands of the prince!
There is love and hatred in the heart of the deceased official Liu E, love his insistence on himself, and hate his precautions against himself! After hearing the Imperial Princes and the Crown Prince Sanwei Mountain shouting Long Live Emperor Wu, Liu E shook her head with a miserable smile, "It's all over!" ”
Chen Lin shouted in the loudest voice: "Catch the Tiger Talisman!" ”
Taking the jade tiger talisman from his hand, Zhao Zhen held it high: "The traitor Zhao Yuanyan, who was originally the younger brother of the emperor of the clan, but he spied on Jiuding and conspired against the official family when he was in trouble, this is an unforgivable sin!" All the classes listened to the order, wearing filial piety and armor to sacrifice the heroic soul of the emperor with rebellious blood! ”
"Sacrifice the heroic soul of the Emperor Daxing with the blood of the traitor!" All the soldiers roared in unison, and the whole Gyeongbokgung Palace trembled slightly in the sound.
Chen Lin took the palace maid and quickly pulled the white yarn and tied it on everyone's bodies, the armor of the forbidden army turned white, and the Tongtian Pass, which symbolized the imperial power like a mountain, on Zhao Zhen's head was torn off by him, and he took the white gauze from Chen Lin's hand and tied it on his head, "I will kill the thief with you to sacrifice the heroic soul of the Emperor Daxing!" After saying that, he walked towards the palace gate.
Peng Qi and Li Jiu stopped stiffly: "The palace ...... Officials must not be rash! You can sit and watch the rebel give the head, and the soldiers will definitely capture Zhao Yuanyan alive! He couldn't run away. ”
"You know a fart, I am now an official family, representing the righteousness of the court, when will I wait for this time? Open the palace door! ”
The palace gate on the periphery of Gyeongbokgung Palace opened with a huge bang, and the fighting outside was already in full swing, and the shouts of the soldiers just now had let everyone know that the official family had died and the crown prince had succeeded to the throne.
Zhao Yuanyan's only chance now is to kill Zhao Zhen, the Great Song official who has just succeeded to the throne, "Kill!" Kill this puppet emperor for this king! He was about to collapse, he had lost his mind, and he screamed like crazy when he saw Zhao Zhen in a dragon robe.
The forbidden army of filial piety and armor continued to pour out from Gyeongbokgung Palace, Zhao Yuanyan's eyes widened, and the madness in his eyes turned into surprise: "This is impossible!" That's impossible! ”
From the back garden to Gyeongbokgung Palace, how can Zhao Zhen move forward in a straight line, he guessed with a despicable psychology that Zhao Zhen would stay in the East Palace, and wait for him and the official family to fight and end when they were both defeated, so that he would have the opportunity to get the emperor's jade seal and abolish the prince, but he didn't know that Zhao Zhen saw everything in the forbidden place thoroughly, including his marching route......
Zhao Zhen, who was wearing a dragon robe and a white veil, walked towards the rebels step by step, "I will succeed to the throne, and you will not be captured?" You don't have a chance anymore, don't follow Zhao Yuanyan to the death, even if you can kill out of Gyeongbokgung Palace, can you kill out of the Imperial City? Can kill the 100,000 forbidden troops to defend the city of Tokyo? I give you a chance, now I don't punish the Nine Clans! ”
The rebels who were still fighting heard Zhao Zhen in a dragon robe say this, and they hurriedly defended together and waited for him to say the following words, "Put down your weapons and I will go around your nine clans without being able to sit together." ”
Someone in the rebels shouted: "The words of the official family can be counted, if we disarm, we should really spare the nine clans!" ”
Zhao Zhen frowned and said: "I stand on the thick soil under the sky, I am the king of Chixian County, Shenzhou, and my words and laws become constitutional!" How can I deceive you! ”
With a clang, someone threw down the weapon in his hand and knelt on the ground, "I am wrong, I shouldn't follow the command and rebel, I don't ask the official family to spare my life, I just want to cause trouble to my family!" ”
Someone took the lead and others also dropped the blades in their hands, and Zhao Yuanyan frantically pulled up a person and shouted to him: "Get up, get up!" If you kill him, you don't have to die, and this king will give you glory and wealth! But he was obviously in vain, and the person he pulled up knelt down again, even if Zhao Yuanyan hacked one to death, it was useless, and the commander who had encouraged Zhao Yuanyan before also slowly knelt down.
The punishment of the Zhujiu clan is the most cruel criminal law, and Zhao Zhen's exemption from the punishment of these rebels is a great gift.
The so-called nine clans include the four fathers, the married aunt and her son's family, the married sister and nephew's family, the married daughter and the grandson's family. The third family of the maternal family, the maternal grandfather's family, the maternal grandmother's maiden family, the aunt and her son's family. The second wife family, the father-in-law's family, and the mother-in-law's maiden family.
There are at least a few hundred people, and even thousands of people in large families. Because of a person's fault, some distant relatives and friends will be involved, which can be regarded as the most cruel punishment in the world.
Zhao Zhen is not a tyrannical and unscrupulous person, even if these people rebel against him, he will not be connected to the nine clans, but speaking out at this time can achieve better results.
The rebels were tied together with ropes by the forbidden army, like a long line of grasshoppers, and they were to be crushed in the prison of Dali Temple awaiting sentencing.
Zhao Zhen said that he wanted to send a sacrifice to his father, and these people are the best funeral!
