Chapter 210: Quick Knife Cuts Through the Mess

Yes!

In the exclamation of the Empress Dowager, Yang Yi slashed the head of the last rebel with a horizontal swing, and the blood spurting from the headless corpse spilled the Empress Dowager Xiang's body, this violent scene may become the dream demon of the Empress Dowager's life.

Meng Zhonghou endured the pain of his leg injury, and stood up with difficulty with a knife, Yang Yi didn't wait for him to stand firm, rubbed his body and flew up fiercely, kicking him out of the door, and shouted at the same time: "Tie up, Yuxing Lu Zhen, no matter what method you use, immediately try his accomplice." ”

Yang Yi roared sharply, and pressed towards the Queen Mother step by step, he really wanted to cut this woman who was constantly making waves with a knife, history has confirmed that it was this old woman who helped Zhao Ji up for her own selfishness, and helped Zhao Ji, who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun.

"King Duan is frivolous, and he can't rule the world!"

Zhang Dan's deafening roar failed to stop the old woman's selfish desires, and just like that, the last hope of revitalizing the Great Song Dynasty was buried.

Yang Yi held the handle of the knife tightly, his fingers were a little white, he really wanted to, really wanted to end the life of this old woman with a knife, lest she make waves again.

"You...... You...... What are you going to do? The old body is the queen mother, and she is ...... Empress Dowager of the Great Song Dynasty, you ...... Dare to murder the old body......" Xiang Queen Mother trembled, stepped back step by step with a colorless face, stepped on a brocade under her feet, and fell down to the sky with a scream.

Yang Yi forced up, squatted in front of her and said: "The Queen Mother misunderstood, the thieves held the Queen Mother hostage, trying to misbehave, the official was late to save the car, and I hope the Queen Mother will forgive her sins." The remaining thieves outside have not been cleared, and the Queen Mother should not move around, otherwise the knives and guns will have no eyes, and it will inevitably hurt the Queen Mother by mistake. ”

Reason overcame impulse, Yang Yi didn't kill her immediately, but it doesn't mean that he won't kill her, if Empress Liu is killed, he will definitely find a white silk when he turns around, and let this old woman hang herself, which is not only to vent her personal anger, but also the only way to prevent this old woman from dominating the Great Song Dynasty.

Yang Yi found the guard brought from Xuande Gate, both of whom followed him to fight in Western Xia, and after carefully ordering the two of them to take the corner of the house, he took the rest of the Japanese army and rushed straight to the Qianning Palace.

The entire Great Song Palace has long been in chaos, the eunuch palace elephant headless flies are hiding everywhere, and the knocked down utensils are everywhere, and when Yang Yi rushed to the Qianning Palace, Li Yizhong and Bao Yi have already forced the rebels to a corner of the imperial garden, and are making the final purge.

There are traces of fire in the Qianning Palace, due to the heavy rain falling from the sky, Xie Dongsheng in the palace organized the eunuchs and palace maids to save the force, and the fire did not ignite.

"Your Excellency!"

Yang Yi signaled Xie Dongsheng not to speak first, he took off his hat and stepped forward, and respectfully saluted Zhao Xu's body, which was a respect for the deceased, but also a respect for Zhao Xu's life's achievements.

Empress Liu was still crying mournfully, the crisis outside the palace was basically lifted, but the sadness of Zhao Xu's departure was even stronger, Yang Yi stepped forward steadily and said: "The queen mother, please mourn, Your Majesty is in a big line, the thieves in the palace are in chaos, these things need to be dealt with quickly, and I hope the queen mother will cheer up." ”

Seeing Yang Yi, Liu Qingjing's mood finally calmed down, and she wiped her tears while saying, "What should I do?" Please teach me, Master Yang! ”

"One, immediately ring the bell to report the funeral. Second, he issued an order to seal all the gates of Tokyo, and the guards to clean up the law and order in the city. Third, recruit important ministers in the court to deal with His Majesty's affairs; Fourth, find out the truth of tonight's rebellion as soon as possible, and this matter must be dealt with seriously and quickly, otherwise Zhang Dian will have to leave Beijing for at least a few months as soon as he becomes an envoy to the mountains, and I am afraid that things will repeat everywhere. ”

According to the Song system, after the death of the emperor, the prime minister wanted to preside over the repair of the tomb as the envoy of the mountain, and he could not take care of the political affairs in Beijing at that time.

The night rain gradually stopped, and the people on the periphery of the capital didn't know what was happening, but the people near the imperial city heard the shouting of Xuandemen, and they were hiding at home with anxiety, and suddenly a melodious bell came from the direction of the palace, but most of the people were only slightly stunned when they heard the first bell, and felt that the bell was a little strange in the middle of the night.

As the bells came one after another, for a long time, first the eunuchs and palace maids who were hiding everywhere in the palace stopped, and the Ouchi Palace suddenly became silent, and even the sound under the eaves seemed to be exhausted, and people looked in the direction of Qianning Palace......

I don't know who was the first, soon everyone knelt down in the direction of Qianning Palace, kowtowed, and the crying gradually converged, and the whole palace was soon full of weeping, followed by the people in the city, most of them unconsciously faced the palace, kneeling silently, and the solemn atmosphere made many people involuntarily hide their faces and cry......

The gates of the various high-gate mansions have been opened, and the carriages have driven onto the streets, converging into a flowing river of lights, pouring in the direction of the palace......

Yang Yi and Bao Yi personally led people to escort the Empress Dowager Xiang back to Yaohua Palace to guard, now, there is no need to kill her again, this time, there is enough reason to abolish the title of Empress Dowager on her.

When Zhang Dan, Su Song, Xu Jiang, Li Qingchen, Fan Chunren, He Shikuan, Han Wei, Cai Jing, Cai Bian, Huang Lu and other six chief officials of the two courtyards came to Qianning Palace, it was already plain white, Empress Liu and others had changed into a vegetarian dress, and the eunuchs and palace maids were busy cleaning and changing Zhao Xu's body, setting up a mourning hall, and arranging the palace!

In fact, not long after Zhao Xu fainted, most of these people heard some news, but Empress Liu blocked the harem, and Zhang Dian and others also deliberately downplayed the matter, so they didn't make a fuss earlier, but everyone was still prepared for Zhao Xu's death.

It's just that a rebellion in the palace tonight exceeded everyone's expectations, so in addition to Zhao Xu's posthumous affairs and the support of the new emperor, thoroughly investigating the truth of the rebellion has also become a problem that these important ministers urgently need to face.

Not only were Zhang Dian and the members of the New Party very angry about the rebellion, but even the privy envoy Xu Jiang was extremely dissatisfied, because he was also one of those who were trapped in his home and could not leave the house.

Under the joint discussion of the two houses and Empress Liu, orders were quickly issued from the palace, and teams of forbidden troops galloped all over the capital, and at the same time as full martial law, the arrest of the mastermind behind the rebellion was quickly launched.

The house of Han Jiayan, the commander of the horses, was brightly lit, and when the bell rang, Han Jiayan already knew that he had lost, this was originally a big gamble, he won, revitalized the Han family, lost, and lost his life, Han Jiayan didn't think about escaping at all, although the world is big, where can he escape?

Han Jiayan was neatly dressed, sat awe-inspiring on his own hall, and waited quietly, the palace guards didn't let him wait long, and broke through the door with a bang, and the sword armor was cold......

With Han Jiayan's trial, the mansions of King Lu'an, Marquis of Huining, and Zhao Guogong were smashed open by the forbidden army, and those involved in the rebellion were immediately escorted to the Criminal Department for trial overnight.

At the same time, a total of five commanders of the Japanese army, the Gongsheng army, and the iron cavalry were deprived of military power and temporarily placed under house arrest, although there is no direct evidence that they participated in the rebellion, but during the rebellion, they did not move, and it is likely that they first got some kind of hint before pretending to be deaf and dumb.

These people could have been slowly transferred out later, but in order to grasp the situation in Beijing faster and better, Zhang Dian would rather kill the wrong person this time than let it go, at least take away the military power first.

The country can not be without a monarch for a day, in order to quickly balance the court situation, the next morning, hundreds of officials gathered in the Wende Palace, Zhao who had just been promoted to the king of Jane seemed to be supported by Hao Sui, Liu Ying into the Wende Palace, the Honglu Temple praise official went out of class to sing loudly, Zhang Dian, Su Song, Xu Jiang and other important ministers helped the twelve-year-old Zhao to the dragon chair.

The new emperor ascended the throne, hundreds of officials came out, and Qi Shi paid a big salute!

The deafening sound of long live made Zhao who was sitting on the dragon chair panic, his personality was very different from his brother, and he did not have the same resoluteness as Zhao Xu, but he was very much like Concubine Zhu, which inevitably disappointed Zhang Dian and others.

Zhao Xu fainted suddenly, and he didn't wake up when he died, but he didn't leave a will, but after the agreement of the important ministers last night, he still made up a copy, which is also common in all dynasties, after all, not every emperor can arrange his posthumous affairs properly before he dies.

This will is mainly to determine the legitimacy of Zhao Yi's succession, and at the same time make some arrangements for the aftermath of the posthumous affairs, such as determining the policy program in recent years, and the regents of Empress Liu, Zhang Dan, Su Song, and Xu Jiang will be auxiliary to the government.

The edict was read out by the Zhangdun Palace, and this edict was the result of a compromise between all parties, and there was no surprise!

Then it was to read out the new emperor's decree on his enthronement and amnesty to the world, of course, Lu Dafang, Han Zhongyan and other ministers of the old party who had long been designated by Zhao Xu as pardoned were not among the pardons, and they should float where they should float and where they will continue to float.

Then it is a reward for the harem and the meritorious ministers, all the treatment of Concubine Zhu is the same as that of the Empress Dowager, Empress Liu is named Empress Shaosheng, and the officials of the court and the central government have their own rewards and knights.

These are all in accordance with the previous conventions, and they are nothing, but in the end, Zhang Dian was stunned, because there was one more article on the decree: if Empress Shaosheng gave birth to the heir of the first emperor, she would be established as the crown prince.

There is no such article on the new emperor's decree drawn up last night, Zhang Dian knew what was going on after a little thought, he really didn't expect that Liu Qingjing would take this army at this time.

From a personal point of view, Zhang Xuan does not object to this article, Zhao Xu has the grace of knowing him, it can be said that he is as kind as a mountain, if Zhao Xu has an heir, he will definitely firmly support the emperor.

But now that the child has not yet been born, it is a bit child's play to be the prince first, and there are too many variables in it, which will inevitably lead to countless troubles in the future.

But if you don't agree, it has now been decided that Empress Liu will be the regent, which will definitely make Empress Liu and the new party go further and further, and Zhang Dian was a little hesitant for a while.

When the ministers in the palace heard this, they couldn't help whispering, and Han Wei, the secretary of the ministry, took the lead in opposing it: "This call is not in line with the system, the new emperor is twelve years old, and he has not yet married, how can he establish a prince?" ”

Cai Jing, the head of the household, then went out of class and asked Zhao Yi on the throne: "Your Majesty, may I ask Your Majesty, it is your Majesty's own will to appoint the heir of the first emperor as the crown prince?" ”

Zhao Ru's face on the throne turned red, he looked left and right, and replied in a helpless manner: "Yes...... I...... My will. ”

Cai Jing then said aloud: "The first emperor ruled the Tao clearly, and the martial arts of the world are obvious to all, and now it is not Your Majesty's will to set up the orphan of the first emperor as the prince, but there is nothing wrong with it, Han Shangshu said that the system is not compatible, may I ask which dynasty and which generation of the ritual system is incompatible?" ”

This really stopped Han Wei, thinking about the etiquette system of the past dynasties, there is really no provision that his nephew cannot be appointed as the prince. This point was more relaxed in the Great Song Dynasty, because the Great Song Dynasty itself had a precedent of brother to brother, and it was not necessary for his own son to succeed to the throne.
