Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Zhao Chen walked forward. Along the way, more and more soldiers followed him and went forward together.

Kang An had obviously gotten the news, and he was also striding towards here at this moment.

The moment he saw Zhao Chen, he also knelt down immediately.

Kang An was also extremely excited.

"Your Majesty!" Kang An said with a choked voice.

"Stay flat!" Zhao Chen said.

Kang An stood up, observed Zhao Chen carefully, and found that Zhao Chen was safe and sound, so he was relieved.

"Your Majesty, where have you been these days? We are all looking for you, and we are very worried!" Kang An said.

"On the West Lake that day, I was assassinated and was rescued by others! Many things happened later. I suffered internal injuries and stayed outside for a few days. I didn't come back until my body fully recovered." Zhao Chen's His eyes were a little blurred, he said.

"Your Majesty, have you suffered internal injuries?" Kang An asked with some concern.

"Healed up! How is the situation in Lin'an City now?" Zhao Chen said.

"Lin'an City is a bit chaotic, and many of the officials and gentry are ready to move! According to the information sent by Lord Wang Dewang, Yang Shi and other great scholars in the south of the Yangtze River actually want to re-establish a new king! However, they don't know that there are people from us in the Yang Mansion , Nothing about them can escape our eyes and ears! It's just that we have no time to deal with them in order to find His Majesty." Kang An said.

"Yang Shi, such a jumping clown dares to stand up now!" Zhao Chen said coldly.

"Your Majesty, you should return to Lin'an right now to stabilize the situation in Lin'an! As long as you appear in Lin'an, Yang Shi and others will never dare to have other thoughts." Kang An said.

"No need!" Zhao Chen said flatly.

"No need?" Kang An was a little surprised.

"Since I was assassinated on the West Lake, 'life or death is uncertain', then I will use my plan now! If I go back now, Yang Shi's conspiracy has not been exposed, and it is inconvenient for me to kill him! He is a great Confucian in the south of the Yangtze River, and he has a high reputation among the people. It is impossible to kill him for no reason! But if he establishes a new king and the conspiracy is exposed, it will be a serious crime of treason. When the time comes to kill the nine clans, I will never be polite to them again! I will just watch from the sidelines and see What kind of jumping clown will stand up with Yang Shi and kill all those people at that time! Otherwise, even if I appease them, they will trip me in the dark, which will be very detrimental to my rule of Jiangnan! Moreover, I After coming to Jiangnan, some people seem to be dissatisfied with me! There are many people in the court and in the rivers and lakes! It’s not enough to just appease. People, do you really think I dare not kill people?" Zhao Chen gritted his teeth.

After coming to the south of the Yangtze River, he was assassinated by the White Lotus Sect first, and then he heard that Yang Shi and others wanted to set up a new king. Zhao Chen was completely enraged. Originally, he planned to come to Jiangnan to implement appeasement measures immediately to stabilize the situation in Jiangnan, but now he feels that appeasement alone is not enough. Carrots and sticks are needed, first to suppress the arrogance of some people in Jiangnan, and then use appeasement methods. This may be more useful than simple appeasement.

"That's right! Some people in Jiangnan need to be attacked first!" Kang An nodded.

"Tell Wu Jie, Wang De and others about the news of my return, and tell them not to slack off and pay close attention to the situation in Jiangnan! During this period of time, people's hearts are fluctuating, and there must be many clowns who stand up. Those clowns who stand up, They are all the ones we want to kill!" Zhao Chen said.

He looked in the direction of Lin'an City, with a cold light in his eyes.

The spring rain has been continuous, and it has been March 20, and there is still no sign of stopping.

These days, Yang Shi has sent all his disciples out to contact well-known Confucian scholars from all over the south of the Yangtze River.

In addition, Li Tong, Luo Congyan and others are also running around at this moment, contacting the court ministers.

When the sky just dawned, Yang Shi had already led a group of people towards Ziluo Lane, where some generals lived.

There are magnificent buildings everywhere, when Yang Shi came to the door of a house, someone knocked on the door.

After a while, a tall, dark and thin man appeared in front of Yang Shi. He turned out to be Miao Fu, the commander of the Jiangnan Imperial Battalion. But Miao Fu didn't wear armor today, but a literati's robe. It's just that he is a general, wearing such clothes always gives people a nondescript feeling.

"Mr. Yang, how did you come to the last general?" Miao Fu asked in surprise.

He knew that Yang Shi had always looked down on generals like him, and he would never take the initiative to find them, so he was very surprised.

"Of course there is something important to discuss!" Yang Shi squeezed out a smile on his face, and arrived.

But Yang Shi looked at Miao Fu with an indescribable contempt in his eyes, which he couldn't hide at all.

Seeing his eyes, Miao Fu couldn't help frowning.

"I don't know what is important?" Miao Fu didn't invite Yang Shi in, but said coldly.

"General Miao, as a minister of the imperial court, don't you know the etiquette? Don't you invite me in when the old man comes here? Are you so vulgar?" Yang Shi said angrily.

"Hmph!" Miao Fu snorted coldly, and anger appeared on his face.

Seeing that Miao Fu had no intention of letting him in at all, Yang Shi was going to turn around and leave, but he still endured it because he thought of "big things".

"General Miao, the old man came here today to discuss something important! You must already know about Emperor Xuanwu's assassination and death?" Yang Shi had to stand at the door and said.

"The assassination of Emperor Xuanwu is just a rumor, no one knows whether he died or not." Miao Fu said coldly.

"Emperor Xuanwu had just arrived in Lin'an City that day, and immediately took Emperor Jianyan's concubine to play in the West Lake. He was really shameless to the extreme. There has never been such a shameless emperor since ancient times! It is true that he was assassinated in West Lake. He was indeed dead! There is no need to doubt this." Yang Shi said.

Originally, "Take Emperor Jianyan's concubine to play in the West Lake" was fabricated by Yang Shi himself, but now that the words are correct, he himself believes it deeply. As for Zhao Chen's death, this is also his guess, but now he believes more and more in this guess, without any doubt.

"What are you trying to say?" Miao Fu asked impatiently.

"A country cannot be without a king for a day! This old man has found a good candidate and is preparing to become the new king! You have a large number of soldiers and horses in the Jiangnan Imperial Battalion, and your military strength is extremely strong. You are also the new king's subordinates, so naturally you should support the new king! Soon, the new king The king is about to succeed to the throne, and you also go to attend the new king's succession ceremony, and you will also be heroes of the dragon in the future, wouldn't it be great?" Yang Shi said with a smile on his face.

"Not interested!" Miao Fu said coldly.

"General Miao, do you still have Song Dynasty in your heart? Do you still have no common people? Do you still have a little bit of loyalty?" Yang Shi shouted.

"Emperor Xuanwu is still in the world, the world has just been unified, and you are going to cholera the world. I think you Yang Shicai has no king and father, and you are a villain!" Miao Fu sneered.

"You...Damn it! The new king will be the first to tear you to pieces!" Yang Shi pointed at Miao Fu, spitting and cursing.

"Oh! In this way, I, Miao Fu, will not be the first to agree to your so-called new king's succession! Neither will I, the Jiangnan Imperial Army!" Miao Fu sneered.

"Ah! That's not the case! If you are loyal to the new king, the new king will reciprocate! General Miao, you must not do anything rebellious!" Yang Shi was shocked and said.

"Hmph!" Miao Fu snorted coldly, turned around and returned to his home, ordered people to close the door, and no longer cared about the outside affairs.

In fact, Miao Fu also had conflicts in his heart. He didn't know whether Zhao Chen was dead or alive, but he felt that Zhao Chen was very powerful. He would never act rashly when he was not sure about Zhao Chen's death! As for Yang Shi, in his opinion, he is an extremely stupid person! Even if Zhao Chen really died, and Wu Jie, Wang De and others still existed, the establishment of a new monarch must first discuss with them and act according to their winks! Yang Shi and a group of great Confucians who have no power to restrain a chicken don't care about it. This will establish a new monarch, which is ridiculous!

"These lowly people who have no king, no father, and don't understand etiquette!" Yang Shi pointed at Miao Fu's door and cursed at this moment.

Afterwards, Yang Shi went to look for Liu Zhengyan again, but Liu Zhengyan always followed Miao Fu's lead, and if Miao Fu didn't agree, he naturally wouldn't agree.

Yang Shi had to return disappointed.

*** ***

After returning to their home, Li Tong, Luo Congyan and others were waiting for Yang Shi.

"How is it? How is the situation now? You go to contact the court ministers, how many court ministers are willing to take refuge in the new king?" Yang Shi asked immediately after seeing them.

"Among the six ministers, except for three who shut their doors and see no visitors, the rest are all willing to support the new monarch! The servants of all ministries, the Minister of Zhongshu, and the Privy Council ministers are also willing to support the new monarch! The prefect of Lin'an is also willing to support the new monarch! " Li Tong said.

"It's really great!" Yang Shi was overjoyed.

"Mr. Yang, you go to Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan, what are their wishes? Will they agree to support the new monarch?" Luo Congyan said.

"These two rebels who have no king and no father, they are unwilling to agree to support the new king! There is no such damned person in the world! When the new king takes the throne, they must be cut into pieces and the nine clans will be killed." , we must not keep them!" Yang Shi hated Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan extremely, and immediately said.

"Naturally!" Li Tong nodded.

"Now that the world is in chaos, a new monarch should be established as soon as possible! When the new monarch succeeds, we will have the name of orthodoxy and can command the world! At that time, we want to kill Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan, just a word! Jiangnan Yuying The reason for the rebellion at first was because of Wang Yuan, not because they really wanted to persecute Emperor Jianyan, but because Emperor Xuanwu took advantage of it later! Now that the new king has succeeded to the throne, as long as he says a word, the whole Jiangnan Imperial Camp will support His Majesty, and they will take the initiative Kill Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan to seek refuge with His Majesty! As for the officers and soldiers in Guanshan and the Central Plains, they will also support the new monarch! Those powerful soldiers under Emperor Xuanwu will also support the new monarch! There will be no problems at all! So , The key now is to let the new king succeed as soon as possible, if someone establishes the new king before us, it will be terrible." Luo Congyan said.

"That's right, that's the reason! I was going to contact the prefects and prefectures all over the south of the Yangtze River, but now it seems that I don't need it." Yang Shidao.

"It's really unnecessary! We'll contact those magistrates and prefects after the new king succeeds to the throne! At that time, when the new king's will is issued, they will definitely obey the new king." Luo Congyan said.

"Okay! Then let's discuss the date of the new king's succession!" Yang Shi said.

At this time, someone outside reported that someone had asked to see him.
