Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty
Chapter 36 Northwest Zhejia
As the sun sets, Tongguan City has turned into a golden color, and the surrounding mountains are also golden in color. In addition, there are occasional white snow scattered in the mountains, and the whole scenery is like an illusion!
A general in his fifties was standing on the Guancheng of Tongguan. He had gray hair, was wearing iron armor, and held a broad sword in his hand! His appearance is very majestic, and he looks like someone who often gives orders!
He was looking into the distance, wondering what he was thinking!
After a while, a young general in his thirties strode over! This young general looks somewhat similar to him, obviously he is his son or nephew!
"Father, Li Gang really was among those who entered the customs just now! I'm sure I read correctly, that person is Li Gang!" the young general said.
"That's right! I can see clearly, it's Li Gang!" The grizzled general nodded.
"There is also that young man who seems to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" the young general said again.
The gray-haired general nodded!
"Ah! Father, have you seen it? Now that you have seen it, why did you send people to put them under house arrest? Why didn't you go to meet them?" Seeing his father nodding, the young general said in surprise.
"Let me ask you, tell me, why did King Kang send someone to spread the news that someone was pretending to be His Highness the Crown Prince?" the gray-haired general said.
"It's very simple, because King Kang wants to become emperor! Now His Majesty and the Supreme Emperor have been captured, and the prince's whereabouts are unknown. He sent someone to say that the prince is a fake, so that he can legitimately ascend the throne as emperor!" said the young general.
"You're right! A few days ago, I already guessed Kang Wang's mind! Huh, Kang Wang, Kang Wang, is so ambitious and wants to steal the throne! He thought that the emperor and the Supreme Emperor were captured by the Jurchens, so he could be The emperor! He is not a simple person! A few days ago, I was guessing where the real prince went, but I didn't expect him to come towards us!" said the gray-haired general.
"Father, how do we treat His Highness the Crown Prince?" the young general asked.
"Tell me, what should I do?" the gray-haired general looked into the distance and asked his son casually.
"Father... can we kill the prince, give the prince's head to His Royal Highness Kang Wang, and support His Royal Highness King Kang to ascend the throne! At that time, His Royal Highness Kang Wang will definitely not treat us lightly, and we will definitely enjoy the glory and wealth!" The young general thought After thinking about it, I said.
"Confused!" The gray-haired general shouted softly.
"Then according to father's idea, what should we do now?" the young general refused to accept.
"Let me ask you, if His Highness King Kang really came to the throne and really gave us glory and wealth, what kind of glory and wealth will it be?" the gray-haired general said.
"What kind of glory and wealth? We can live in the northwest forever, and my family is the number one family in the northwest!" said the young general.
"Our Zhe family is now the No. 1 family in the Northwest! The Zhong family army has been wiped out, the Liu family army has gone to the Central Plains, Qu Duan and others are from humble backgrounds, and they cannot be compared with us! We rely on King Kang, and when King Kang ascends the throne, at most It’s all about keeping the current position, wouldn’t it be better?” said the grizzled general.
"This..." The young general was stunned, and said, "What should father say?"
"I want to go further..." The gray-haired man was silent for a long time, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, said.
"Going further?" The young general asked a little puzzled.
"Yan Zhi, think about the scene at the end of the Han Dynasty!" the grizzled general said.
"The end of the Han Dynasty?" The young general became more and more confused.
"At the end of the Han Dynasty, the emperor was young. Cao Cao used the prime minister to control the state affairs, and the emperor to command the princes, and the power was all over the world! After Cao Cao, Cao Pi succeeded!" the gray-haired general said slowly.
"This... Father, do you want to learn from Cao Cao?" The young general finally understood and said in horror.
"Haha...you finally guessed it! Yes, I want to learn from Cao Cao! I am Cao Cao, Yanzhi and you are Cao Pi! This Prince is...Han Xiandi!" The grey-haired general laughed.
The young man was horrified when he took the lead, and then he couldn't help laughing out loud! The city of Tongguan is full of laughter from the two of them!
After a long time, the young general said: "Father, speaking of which, we must protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! We will support him to ascend the throne in the future!"
The grey-haired general nodded and said, "Naturally! But he is just a tool in our hands! With him in our hands, we have the name of righteousness and can order the world. Who would dare not obey?"
The young general said: "Since that's the case, should we go to see him now?"
The grey-haired general sneered, and said: "A mere child, a mere tool, why should we rush to see him? Sooner or later, I will let him prostrate at my feet! Yan Zhi, you should report the news of the prince's arrival immediately. Spread it all over the world! King Kang wants people to think that the prince is a fake, but I want people to know that the prince is in my hands! We must first make all the officials in the northwest obey the order of the prince, that is, obey our Only the order of the family will be fulfilled!"
The young general bid farewell with joy on his face, and the gray-haired general was still standing there. He looked into the distance, feeling agitated! After a long time, he clenched his fists tightly, and said to himself slowly: "My Zhe family has guarded the northwest for more than 500 years. In the Tang Dynasty, my Zhe family was already one of the barriers to the northwest. The family is the main faction of the Western Army. From now on, I will rule the Central Plains! Those useless emperors of the Tang and Song Dynasties, they are not worthy of carrying shoes for my family! Zhao Chen, this kid, will give him a happy life in the future! Haha Haha... I can only hope that if I become the master of this world in the future..."
His laughter kept echoing on the tower...
*** ***
It was getting dark, Zhao Chen, Li Gang, Yue Fei, Wang Gui, and Zhang Xian entered a big house.
Five people sat there, candles were lit in the room, and there were all kinds of delicacies here, but none of the five people was in the mood to eat.
"Teacher, is it really safe for us to enter here?" Zhao Chen looked outside the room and said.
"There should be no danger... But, His Royal Highness, Zhe Keqiu and Zhe Yanzhi's father and son may not be easy to use. They probably have other thoughts about the prince!" Li Gang frowned.
"Other thoughts? Do you want to coerce the emperor to command the princes? My highness, the prince, is now a rare commodity!" Zhao Chen said with a sneer on his face.
Zhe's father and son put them into Tongguan, but did not kill them, it must be because Zhe's father and son recognized their identities!
And Zhe's father and son have recognized their identities, but they are still under house arrest, this must be because they have other concerns in their hearts!
After Zhao Chen came to this era, he has experienced many things, and he is no longer the simple youth he was back then! Especially after leaving Kaifeng, he followed Li Gang along the way to learn Wang Xinshu. At this moment, he had already guessed what Zheshi and his son were thinking! Zhe's father and son have only two options now, one is to kill him to please Zhao Gou, and the other is to support him, a young man, to ascend the throne and take control of the government! Zhao Chen himself weighed the pros and cons here, and he was sure that Zhe's father and son would adopt the second method!
"His Royal Highness said it well. Zhe Keqiu and Zhe Yanzhi are definitely trying to coerce the emperor to order the princes! Troubled times are coming, and there are many chaotic officials and thieves. First there are Zhang Bangchang and Li Bangyan, then there is Zhao Gou, and now there are Zhe Keqiu and Zhe Yan. Yan Zhi and his son! As the crown prince, His Highness has to be persecuted by these treacherous ministers, it really makes His Highness suffer!" Li Gang sighed.
"What kind of suffering is this for me, the people of the world are really suffering! At least I am still safe and sound! Since the father and son of the Zhe family want to coerce the emperor to make the princes, then he will not kill me in a short time! No matter what How, we are safe now!" Zhao Chen said with a smile on his face.
He's not heartless, he's just having fun! He has been nervous for a while, and now he has to find a way to relax himself no matter what!
"His Royal Highness, I have something to tell you!" Li Gang nodded, and said again after a while.
"His Royal Highness, the three of us brothers should go outside to watch first, lest anyone break in!" Hearing that Li Gang seemed to be talking to Zhao Chen alone, Yue Fei stood up and said.
"Thank you three!" Zhao Chen nodded.
Yue Fei, Wang Gui, and Zhang Xian had already left, leaving only Li Gang and Zhao Chen in the room.
Li Gang pondered for a moment, and said: "Your Highness, I took you into Tongguan before, that was a last resort! Now only the northwest has an army, and only here can we gain strength and compete with King Kang and the Jurchens! Therefore, connivance is dangerous. We must also enter here! Now Zhe Keqiu, Zhe Yanzhi and his son have bad intentions, although His Highness will not be killed for the time being, I am afraid that the future will not be easy!"
"That's nothing!" Zhao Chen said.
"His Royal Highness, you must firmly remember two words—forbearance! You must forbear, and now we will follow the Zheshi father and son! When we have enough strength, or the opportunity comes, we will attack in one fell swoop and eradicate the Zheshi father and son. , Master the army!" Li Gang said.
"I understand! I will do what the teacher said! Forbearance, we will all be forbearance from now on!" Zhao Chen gritted his teeth and said.
