Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

In the Han Palace, the lights are brilliant!

There are palace lanterns everywhere, and guards everywhere! Zhao Chen has just ascended the throne, and the conditions in the Han Palace are still very simple, at least there are not many court ladies!

In the Hall of Preserving Harmony, Zhao Chen was sitting at the top, looking at the ministers below! Qu Duan, Wang Shu, Yang Shi, Zhao Ding and others are also here!

"I fled from Kaifeng all the way to Hanzhong, and experienced countless hardships! But now I am finally enthroned as emperor! I believe that I will never encounter disaster again in the future!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty is blessed, so there will be no disasters in the future!" Zhe Keqiu stood up and said with a smile.

He said this in his mouth, but he was full of ridicule in his heart! In his opinion, Zhao Chen will be his puppet in the future, and he will naturally protect this puppet well, and will not let this puppet suffer another catastrophe!

"Emperor Xuanwu, you didn't listen to my warning! In the future, when Emperor Jianyan goes west, you just wait for Emperor Jianyan's wrath!" Yang Shi stood up and said coldly.

Zhao Chen has already ascended the throne, and his reign name is Xuanwu, so Yang Shi's name for Zhao Chen has also changed.

"Even if he doesn't come to beat me, I will beat him!" Zhao Chen said.

"Emperor Xuanwu, the interior of Hanzhong is unstable, and you don't know how long you can hold the throne in the future!" Zhao Ding stood up and said.

"My ministers of Han, Chinese and Wu have worked together, so why is there internal instability?" Zhao Chen asked rhetorically.

"I'm just afraid that the generals in Hanzhong will be disobedient!" Zhao Chen said.

"Oh?" Zhao Chen had a puzzled expression on his face!

"Zhao Ding, you are talking nonsense, trying to sow discord between the monarch and my ministers, you deserve death!" Zhe Keqiu stood up impatiently at this moment, and shouted.

Zhao Ding smiled and stepped back! He looked at Zhao Chen with a hint of complacency in his eyes! When he thought about it, the prince was really too young. The prince was only ten years old when Kaifeng City was destroyed last year, and he is only eleven years old now! The prince is so young, even if he behaves as a young man, it is because he grew up in the palace and received royal education, but the prince's intelligence must not reach the level of an adult, and the prince certainly does not know the ambitions that can be obtained. Therefore, he wants to expose Zhe Keqiu's ambition and plant a thorn in the prince's heart! But he didn't know that it was just like a joke. Zhao Chen had just arrived in Tongguan that day, and he had already guessed his ambition!

That one side can be extremely angry, glaring at Zhao Ding! After a while, Zhe Keqiu turned his head to look at Zhao Chen. Seeing Zhao Chen's gentle expression, he was relieved! Zhao Chen is only eleven years old, he is a teenager or even a child, so Zhe Keqiu's views on Zhao Chen are basically the same as Zhao Ding's!

"Actually, since I came to Tongguan, I have been relying on General Zhe to protect me! If it wasn't for General Zhe, I would have died under the iron heels of the Jurchens! Originally, I wanted General Zhe to be the prime minister, but General Zhe resigned firmly." , That’s why Li Gang and Master Li were appointed prime minister!” Zhao Chen said such words as if he didn’t have “any scheming”!

"This humble official is a military commander, not good enough to be a prime minister! Li Gang and Master Li are famous in the government and the public. Apart from him, no one else can be a prime minister!" Zhe Keqiu said with a sigh of relief.

Zhao Ding was stunned, he didn't expect Zhao Chen to have such "trust" in Zhe Keqiu! At the moment Zhao Ding frowned tightly and said no more!

On the other side, Wang Shu looked at Zhao Chen with a gleam in his eyes, but he nodded secretly in his heart!

"Emperor Xuanwu is really amazing! It seems that I must follow Emperor Xuanwu! Such a king is young and mature, his emotions and anger are indistinct, he knows how to endure, and his temperament is firm. He is a generation of enlightened masters! I want to take a look When will he be able to truly win the victory? Others say that King Kang is amazing, but now it seems that King Kang may not be able to catch up with Emperor Xuanwu!" Wang Shu secretly wondered.

"Wang Shu, I went to ask for a discount yesterday. He said that the military rations are ready and we can leave with them at any time! If we are short of manpower, he is willing to send a thousand people to help us transport the general rations to Jingyuan City! Today Your Majesty has already ascended the throne, and we can leave Hanzhong tomorrow! After all, this is someone else's place, so staying here is a bit uncomfortable!" Qu Duan sat beside Wang Shu and said with a smile.

"Okay!" Wang Shu nodded!

At this moment, he has despaired of Qu Duan, and he will never have the idea of ​​persuading Qu Duan again!

The banquet was held until midnight, and the officials dispersed!

*** ***

In the early morning of the second day, Yang Shi and Zhao Ding left first!

At noon, Qu Duan, Wang Shu and others escorted the army rations and left!

They are holding rations and marching very slowly! After they arrived at Dashan Pass, they found that Yang Shi and Zhao Ding were waiting for them at Dashan Pass!

On the city wall of Dasan Pass, Qu Duan, Wang Shu, Yang Shi, and Zhao Ding stood together!

Yang Shidao: "General Qu, the old man spoke recklessly that day, please forgive me, General!"

Qu Duan smiled and said: "Mr. Yang is a well-known Confucian in the world, it's normal to look down on me and other martial arts! Why do you need to apologize today?"

In fact, Qu Duan didn't pay attention to Yang Shi, a corrupt scholar at all! Although Yang Shi has a great reputation, Qu Duan doesn't care about him at all!

Yang Shi blushed slightly, and said, "General Qu, please think twice about what we said that day!"

Qu Duan shook his head and said: "There is no need to talk about this matter again, I don't want to take refuge in King Kang! After all, he is just a vassal king, and his succession to the throne is not justified! Besides, I have accepted the canonization of Emperor Xuanwu, if I secretly Colluding with King Kang, isn't it a two-headed rat? This is not what a gentleman does!"

Yang Shi opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, Zhao Ding stood up and said, "General Qu, have you been in Hanzhong for many days, have you ever felt that Zhe Keqiu is arrogant? As far as I know, Hanzhong , All political affairs in Sichuan and Shu are handled at a discount! Taxes from Hanzhong and Sichuan are not sent to the Han Palace, but to the military camp! Emperor Xuanwu is the emperor in name, but in fact he is only You can only ask for a puppet in your hand!"

Qu Duan was taken aback, and said, "How do you know this news?"

Wang Shu was also secretly surprised. When he and Qu Duan were in Jingyuan, they guessed that Zhe Keqiu might coerce the emperor to command the princes, so his best strategy at the beginning was to "be on the side of the Qing emperor", but they hadn't found it for many days in Hanzhong. How many clues! Unexpectedly, Yang Shi and Zhao Ding discovered so many things in Hanzhong these days!

Zhao Ding said indifferently: "Although Hanzhong and Chuanshu belong to Emperor Xuanwu in name, in fact there are still some officials secretly loyal to Emperor Jianyan! These things are naturally told by those officials!"

Only then did Qu Duan and Wang Shu understand, Qu Duan nodded and said, "So that's how it is!"

Zhao Dingdao: "Zhe Keqiu is very ambitious. The government affairs and taxation of Hanzhong, Sichuan and Shu are managed by his Zhe family. Is this still the duty of a courtier? Sooner or later, Zhe Keqiu will drive Emperor Xuanwu from power! At that time, General Qu, do you still want to be loyal to Emperor Xuanwu? If Emperor Xuanwu is killed by Zhe Keqiu, what will you do?"

Zhao Ding originally thought that his words would definitely make Qu Duan hesitate and think, but Qu Duan just shook his head and said: "Let's talk about the future! I don't want to think about other things now. I don't care about the struggle between Emperor Xuanwu and Zhe Keqiu." In short, I am only loyal to Emperor Xuanwu now! It is impossible for me to be loyal to King Kang!"

Zhao Ding stayed there, he looked at Qu Duan with unbelievable eyes, he couldn't believe that Qu Duan was so "ignorant"! But he didn't know that Qu Duan didn't have any other thoughts besides the idea of ​​preserving his strength! As long as Hanzhong can send the general grain to Jingyuan City, he will never have other thoughts! He also didn't want to cause trouble at all, so he took refuge in King Kang at this time!

"In that case, Zhao will leave!" Zhao Ding said, cupping his hands.

"No!" Qu Duan said lightly.

When Yang Shi and Zhao Ding left, they were still very depressed!

Their mission this time was a complete failure. They neither brought Zhao Chen to Zhao Gou, nor brought back the Chuanguo Yuxi, nor persuaded Qu Duan! They just watched an enthronement ceremony here, and then went back in despair!

"Hmph, a martial artist doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth! Master Zhao, I said it before, there is no need to persuade this martial artist, he won't listen at all! Now it seems that it is so!" Yang Shi spat and said.

"That's all! It seems that the split of the Song Dynasty is inevitable! The future of the world is unknown! However, I believe that sooner or later there will be civil strife in Hanzhong. At that time, Emperor Jianyan will have an opportunity! Let's go!" Zhao Ding said.
