Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 313: West Lake Night Tour

Zhao Gou was dragged onto the tower by a group of soldiers, and Zhao Chen, Wu Jie, Miao Fu and others also came to the tower at this moment.

Below, countless soldiers are watching the scene above.

The military discipline of the army brought by Zhao Chen was strict. No one spoke, but looked at it quietly, with excitement in his eyes, while the soldiers from the Jiangnan Imperial Camp were whispering at this moment.

"Invite all the respectable gentry in Lin'an City!" Zhao Chen said.

At the moment, Miao Fu immediately carried out Zhao Chen's order. He ordered people to go to the homes of the respected people in Lin'an and call those people to the imperial palace.

In the past few days, there has been a military riot in Lin'an. Most of the people are hiding in their homes and dare not come out. Fortunately, the rebels did not harass them! This morning, they also heard the sound of the army mobilizing, and they heard the earth-shaking long live sound, but they still did not dare to go out and check. At this moment, the soldiers broke into their home and knocked on the door frantically. They had to open the door. Of course, some people did not dare to open the door and still hid at home. They were found by the insurgents and forced them to move towards. Toward the palace.

Gradually, the number of people downstairs in the palace is increasing!

Most of them are officials and gentry, all of whom have some reputation in the local area.

Most people are older, some are even 60 or 70 years old.

Looking at the countless soldiers and horses beside them, especially the black armored soldiers, their bodies are trembling. They don't know what's wrong!

Soon, the sharp-eyed people saw the scene on the tower and couldn't help but let out an exclamation!

Gradually, more and more people looked at everything on the tower with surprise eyes.

There are two people wearing dragon robes on the tower. One looks like a young man who is only seventeen or eighteen years old standing there, and the other is a middle-aged man who is about thirty years old, kneeling there! They can recognize that the middle-aged man who is about 30 years old is the Emperor Jianyan in Jiangnan, but who is that young man? Why did Emperor Jianyan kneel here? What happened?

Thinking of the mutiny in these days, many people feel uneasy!

They didn't dare to talk, they just stood here nervously.

Two hours later, the number of people here has reached tens of thousands.

At this moment, it has also reached the afternoon.

"People are almost here! You must be wondering about my identity. I am the eldest son of Emperor Jingkang. In the first year of Jingkang, he was crowned the Crown Prince of Song Dynasty! In the second year of Jingkang, I was in the Han Dynasty as Emperor Xuanwu! At that time, King Kang The usurper, also ascended to the throne in Shangqiu, to usurp the throne! I came to Lin'an today to lead troops to clear the king of Kang's rebel!" Zhao Chen looked at the people below and said loudly.

Suddenly, the people below let out a cry of exclamation.

"What? He is Emperor Xuanwu? Isn't he in Guanshan? How did he get here?"

"Oh my God! It's really changed! It turns out that this mutiny was initiated by Emperor Xuanwu. Emperor Jianyan has been captured alive, and he will undoubtedly die!"

"The soldiers and horses next to him were brought by Emperor Xuanwu?"

"Emperor Xuanwu is the eldest son of the Emperor Taishang, originally the prince, he should inherit the throne! Moreover, he has the jade seal of the country in his hand, which is a symbol of orthodoxy! He is here this time to set things right! It's great!"

Those people are whispering, some of these people support Zhao Chen in the first place! In fact, in Jiangnan, many people in Jiangnan yearn for Zhao Chen because of Zhao Gou's incomparable behavior, and the same is true for Lin'an City!

"I came to Lin'an today to clear out the rebels! But I can't kill him silently. I always have to announce his crimes to the people of the world! Wu Jie, come on!" After a long while, Zhao Chen Said again.

Right now Wu Jie stood up and began to read Zhao Gou's crimes.

The first crime is that there is no ruler and no father. At that time, Zhao Gou was the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and he commanded the army of the world's kings. Kaifeng was besieged, but Zhao Gou hid in Xiangzhou City, unwilling to rescue Kaifeng. Over the years, Zhao Gou’s father Zhao Ji and brother Zhao Huan suffered in the north and were oppressed by the Jurchens, but Zhao Gou ignored them and never thought of rescuing them.

The second crime is to negotiate peace with Jurchen, regardless of the safety of the people in the Central Plains.

The third crime is to live luxuriously and build a palace room.

The fourth crime was to frame Zhao Chen. He tried to murder Zhao Chen outside the city of Xiangzhou that day. Later, he sent a Jiangnan martial artist to try to assassinate Zhao Chen.

The fifth crime was to make peace with Liu Yu. Liu Yu was an anti-thief and took refuge in Jurchen, who should be punishable by everyone, but Zhao Gou joined Liu Yu and prepared to attack Guan Shan.

The sixth item was the implementation of excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes in the south of the Yangtze River. As a result, the officials forced the people to rebel and caused the peasant uprising in Dongting Lake.

After these six major crimes, there are other crimes, and the total number of zero zero has reached ninety-nine.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Gou has committed ninety-nine major crimes, many of which are treasonous crimes. According to the law, they should be executed quickly!" Wu Jie said after reading out all the crimes.

"Ling Chi doesn't need it anymore! He is my uncle after all, and he was once the king of our Great Song Dynasty. Give him a decent face!" Zhao Chen said.

Wu Jie nodded. At the moment, a soldier came over with a plate with a hip flask and a wine glass on the plate.

The flask was filled with poisoned wine. At that moment, Wu Jie poured a glass of poisoned wine and brought it to Zhao Gou's side. He said, "His Royal Highness, Your Majesty is kind. He didn't put you to death, but gave poisoned wine! If there is another life, Be a good man."

Just now when Zhao Yang died, Zhao Gou had lost all his thoughts, and he had no ambition to live, but at this moment the poisonous wine was placed in front of him, and he was still terrified.

He seemed to feel the darkness around him, and there was pressure everywhere, and he was almost suffocating.

Wu Jie's wine was getting closer and closer to him, and Zhao Gou's body suddenly softened to the ground, and then he had excrement and urine.

His body was lying on the ground and trembling constantly, he closed his eyes and mouth, never willing to drink poisonous alcohol.

Zhao Chen looked far away, at the people and the army below, without looking at Zhao Go at all, so he didn't want to look at the tragic situation before his death. It is not what he wants to let others lose their dignity, but for the unification of the country, this is something that must be done. Zhao Gou must die so that he can return to the world.

At this moment, Wu Jie grabbed Zhao Go's clothes and lifted Zhao Go up. After that, the rest of the soldiers supported Zhao Gou. Wu Jie opened Zhao Go's mouth with his hands and poured the poisoned wine into it.

After that, everyone let Wu Jie go.

"Why do you want to be like this? Why do you want to be like this? You killed my child, and you killed me too... I am not reconciled, but I am where my destiny is. Dao Chang Lin said that I am where my destiny is! I should not die , I am the emperor of the true dragon!" After the poisonous wine was drunk, Zhao Gou knew that he was bound to die, but at this moment he had a lot of courage, and he kept wailing there.

Only gradually, a trace of black air appeared on his face, and in the end his entire face turned black. He felt more and more difficult to breathe, and his internal organs had cramps. He struggled to stand up, but in the end there was no Standing up, after a quarter of an hour, he lost all his breath and heartbeat. The historical Song Gaozong finally died in the palace he built.

Seeing Zhao Gou's death with his own eyes, the people below were also terrified and dare not say more. Many people have knelt down on the ground, on the one hand to see Zhao Go off, on the other hand, they expressed their willingness to surrender to the new emperor. Soon, they will return home, and before long, the entire Lin'an city will know the news of Emperor Xuanwu's unification of the Song Dynasty! They also have relatives in various places, and they will pass the news to their relatives.

Of course, Zhao Chen will also make people spread the news to all parts of Jiangnan, so that all parts of Jiangnan will know that Zhao Gou is dead.

Jiangnan officials, as long as they are willing to surrender, they will bear the blame! When Zhao Chen came to Jiangnan, he killed Zhao Gou on the one hand, and quickly stabilized the situation in Jiangnan, so that no chaos should occur in Jiangnan!

"Send someone to write to Li Gang Li, telling him that Zhao Gou is dead, and let him spread the news to all parts of Sichuan and Shu!"

"Write to Wang Shu and Yu Yunwen, and let them know the news! Also, order the people in the Jiangnan court to write to Zong Ze, Han Shizhong, and Zhang Jun, so that they can also know the news!"

"At the fastest speed, let this news spread all over the world! Zhao Gou is dead, Da Song has only one emperor, and no split is allowed!"

Zhao Chen said slowly, Wu Jie and others next to him kept nodding their heads.

Zhao Chen turned his head and saw a man lying on Zhao Go's corpse, crying softly, it was Zhao Ding.

As for Qin Hui, he was hiding aside at this moment, turning a blind eye to Zhao Go's body.

"Your Majesty, what should they do?" Wu Jie said.

"We will detain them, and I will deal with them tomorrow." Zhao Chen said.

Wu Jie nodded.

The Wu Jie navy army has begun to clean up the palace.

These days, these people from Jiangnan Yuying broke into the palace, and the palace also suffered a disaster. Many gold and silver treasures have disappeared and were snatched by the soldiers from the Jiangnan Imperial Camp. Of course, Zhao Chen will not take them back. Those soldiers from the Jiangnan Imperial Camp are worthy of merit. These are regarded as rewards for them. , Of course, will never indulge them so much in the future. Before Zhao Chen arrived, all his sins could be forgotten.

There are thousands of concubines, eunuchs, and court ladies in the palace. These concubines, eunuchs, and court ladies are still staying in the palace at the moment, but they are gathered together, everyone is terrifying, but they dare not say anything.

Zhao Chen felt very tired. He found a room and slept.

When he woke up, it was late at night.

He put on his clothes and went out, the night was as cold as water, the moon was shining brightly, and the palace was quiet at this moment.

For some reason, Zhao Yang's face always appeared in front of him, making it difficult for him to relax.

He also knew that execution of Zhao Yang was the best choice, and it was more conducive to the stability of the regime, but it was really difficult for him to start!

Over the years, because of the world war, I don’t know how many people died!

During the Battle of Xixia, because of his choice, Huang He decided to mention it. I am afraid that millions of ordinary people will die! The Jurchen invasion, the number of deaths of the Central Plains people far exceeded one million.

He sighed softly.

At this moment, he found a man kneeling in the front corner, it was Wang De.

"Your Majesty!" When Zhao Chen looked at him, Wang De finally pronounced it.

"What are you doing here on your knees? Get up!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, you will know what you did today. You are very disgusted! Therefore, please punish me!" Wang De said.

"I have taken Lin'an, so I should be happy, but if a six-year-old child died in front of me, I really can't be happy! I want to go outside to relax, you accompany me." Zhao Chen said.

"Where is your majesty going?" Wang De said.

"Go to the West Lake for a turn! You can arrange it!" Zhao Chen said.

Wang De just stood up and arranged this matter.

Soon, Zhao Chen put on civilian clothes, and many soldiers also put on civilian clothes. They left the palace, walked out of Lin'an City, and came to the side of the West Lake.

Wang De has already prepared more than ten large and small ships here, and has arranged thousands of soldiers to guard beside the West Lake.

Zhao Chen and Wang De boarded a large ship, and many guards also boarded the ship.

The boat began to move forward slowly, and the breeze blew, Zhao Chen's mood finally slowly recovered.

"As an emperor, in troubled times, I should be decisive! I don't know how many people I have seen or blood. I don't know what happened today. I still feel my heart when I see the six-year-old child die. Somewhat uncomfortable." Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, it's all bad at the end!" Wang De said.

"I know you are also thinking about me! Let this matter go away, I will not punish you." Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty is kind, thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang De's nervous heart finally relaxed. He is not afraid of punishment, he is unwilling to create a gap with Zhao Chen. Now that Zhao Chen is in a good mood, his mood also improves.

"In the future, there will never be such a thing again!" Zhao Chen said again.

Wang De nodded.

The big ship headed forward, surrounded by some boats to protect it.

At first there were only a dozen boats, but after Wu Jie heard the news, he arranged for some people to enter the West Lake, and they were also protecting Zhao Chen's safety.

"Your Majesty, there is Leiyin Temple over there!" In the night, seeing the faint light in the west, it seemed to be a temple, Wang Dedao.

"Oh! It's the Leiyin Temple where White Lady, Xu Xian, and Xiaoqing were suppressed!" Zhao Chen immediately became interested.

The big ship was heading towards Leiyin Temple.

The big ship was getting closer and closer to the shore. First, a few small boats came to the shore, and dozens of soldiers had already come to the shore. Check the scene on the shore to prevent danger.

At this moment, Zhao Chen suddenly felt the violent fluctuations of the water on the lake, and his heart was suddenly startled.

"Not good!" Zhao Chen whispered.

Wang Dewuyi is not as good as Zhao Chen. When Zhao Chen discovered something was wrong, he just noticed it.

In an instant, countless figures jumped out of the water and came towards Zhao Chen.
