Lu Haowen's statement really surprised Zongze and Li Gang!If he chooses to be with Her Royal Highness at this time, he will undoubtedly be on the opposite side of the entire Song Dynasty and be a traitor!
After getting the support of these people, Zhao Yingluo turned her attention to her father, "Now that the matter has come to this, it is not that I insist on disobeying the king's order, but it is actually the emperor's brother who is pressing on me step by step. If father and eldest brother are willing to go to Lin'an, I will also go to Lin'an." I won’t force you to stay.”
"I! I'm in Kaifeng and I'm not going anywhere!"
Zhao Ji's answer really surprised everyone!
Even Zhao Yingluo didn't expect that he would choose to stay.
"I will write another letter to him. If he still insists on doing this, I don't mind not recognizing him as my son!"
Although Zhao Ji didn't say much, the three old men understood clearly. It meant that if the officials did not obey his orders, the throne would not be guaranteed.
Zhao Yingluo took a deep breath, her eyes flashing with confidence, "With my father's words, I will shoulder the heavy responsibility of reviving the Song Dynasty."
……
【Lin'an】
Zeng Ze and Lan Jue failed to get the imperial edict, so they had to return to Lin'an in despair.
"She is really a real sister! She actually refuses to obey the order?"
After listening to Zeng Ze's words, Zhao Gou was shocked and angry! What is surprising is that this sister actually hid her identity for two years to develop her own power.
What makes her angry is that she doesn't take him seriously and openly resists the decree. In this way, where is the majesty of the emperor?
"What is the attitude of the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor's brother?"
"The Emperor has a letter here!"
Zeng chose to carefully present the wax-sealed letter from the Supreme Emperor.
To Zhao Gou's surprise, this letter did not scold him as much as before. It started by telling Zhao Yingluo's good intentions and how because of her, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the Song Dynasty's national power grew stronger. .
In the middle, he warned him not to embarrass his sister, otherwise the country would change.
The last paragraph at the end of the article made Zhao Gou feel increasingly chilly.
Because the last sentence in the article has an obvious warning meaning, "If you cannot revive the Song Dynasty, it is better to abdicate and make way for talents."
Give way to the wise?Who? After Zhao Gou put down the letter in his hand, he covered his face with his hands and was silent for a long time. Finally, he asked in a hoarse and tired voice, "Everything is clear. Shen Wanshu is Zhao Yingluo. Now that she does not obey the imperial edict, what do the ministers think?" How to deal with it?"
Qin Hui, who had been promoted to the left prime minister, had great power. He immediately said, "Officials, disobeying the imperial edict is regarded as rebellion, and I think it is right to send troops to attack!"
"Who is available?"
"You can order Sun Zhaoyuan to march from Guanzhong, Yan Xiaozhong and Xiang Zishao to march north from Cai and Chen, and Liu Guangshi to lead the land and water army to march north along the canal. The three armies gathered 30 troops and raised troops to investigate the crime."
Zhao Gou nodded, "Who is the commander-in-chief?"
Qin Hui turned his eyes and saw Kang Lu standing next to Zhao Gou winking at him. He suddenly understood, "Guan family, I thought everyone knew that Kang Lu had been protecting the officials and around them in the past two years, and he had the merit of following the dragon." , and is familiar with the art of war, it is most suitable for him to be the commander-in-chief."
Zhao Gou nodded. Kang Lu had been following him since he was King Kang. After the fall of Kaifeng, it was Kang Lu who escorted him all the way south. He was loyal and loyal. It was very suitable for him to be the commander-in-chief of the three armies.
"Accurate! Order Kang Lu to recruit envoys from the Central Plains and lead three groups of people from the left, middle and right to surround Kaifeng!"
Kang Lu was ecstatic in his heart. Commanding the three armies was his dream wish, and now he has finally achieved it!What made him even more excited was that his opponent was Zhao Yingluo!The princess who never took him seriously.
[June] The corn seeds that were sown have now grown into small seedlings with green leaves and good growth.
The news that Shen Wanshu was Zhao Yingluo was spread by someone in the palace, and it became a hot topic in the entire Kaifeng city.
Zui Furong Restaurant is as lively as ever and is fully booked every day. In addition to people from the Song Dynasty, there are even many wealthy businessmen from Dali, Xixia and Jin who flock to Kaifeng City to check in for breakfast.
"I said she is no ordinary person. Look! She is actually the princess."
"If my family had not rented the land from Your Highness the Princess, I would have starved to death before the winter wheat harvest. Having such a good Princess is truly a blessing to our people in the Song Dynasty."
"I heard that an imperial edict came from the officials, requiring Her Royal Highness the Princess to go to Lin'an immediately, along with the Supreme Emperor, Old General Zong Ze and others."
"I also heard that Her Royal Highness the Princess refused. She is the only person in the world who dares to disobey official orders."
"I also heard that the officials were furious and wanted to attack her!"
"Why would the officials want to attack such a good princess?"
"How can you disobey the emperor's edict?"
……
When Zhao Yingluo passed by one of the tables, she heard the people at the table talking and couldn't help but slow down. When she heard these ordinary people talking, she felt a wave of emotion in her heart.
Of course she was not afraid of Kang Lu coming, she was afraid of him not coming.
……
The [-]-strong army led by Kang Lu meandered away from Hangzhou and headed north along the Grand Canal. Of course, he was always paying attention to the marching speed of the east-west line and made sure to arrive in Kaifeng on the same day.
He wants to use Zhao Yingluo to leave his name in the history books.
Doesn't she know Kang Lu's motives?of course I know!So in order to sabotage this conquest, Zhao Yingluo turned her attention to the two lieutenants around Kang Lu.
Who are these two lieutenants?One is a nursery and the other is Liu Zhengyan!Although the two of them have little status in the history books, a mutiny forced the emperor to abdicate, and Qing Shi would definitely not ignore them.
General Liu Zhengyan of Miaopu followed the army all the way north. When they were approaching Xuzhou, heavy rain made the road difficult to travel. Kang Lu had to order the entire army to stop temporarily and set up temporary camps until the rain had subsided before moving on.
That night!
After a day's march, Kang Lu lay down to rest early, snoring loudly. At this moment, two figures were reflected in the Chinese army tent.
Miao Pu and Liu Zhengyan quietly stood outside the Chinese military tent, listening to the movements of the Chinese military tent. They heard loud snoring, and then Miao Pu showed his left hand.
After spreading his palm, an exquisite dagger appeared in everyone's sight.
Liu Zhengyan hesitated, "Once you kill Kang Lu, there will be no turning back."
Miao Pu gritted his teeth and said, "If Kang Lu continues to be prime minister, the Song Dynasty will be tortured by him sooner or later. What we do is to uphold justice and eradicate traitors."
"But if we can't kill him, we will be the ones who die."
"How can a man born between heaven and earth be controlled by an eunuch? What's more, Kang Lu colluded with Qin Hui to dismiss Master Lu from the main war faction, and also tried his best to suppress the main war faction in other courts. He is a traitor. "
Liu Zhengyan sighed, "That's all. If we don't take his life, he will wipe out Her Royal Highness the Princess's army. Let's take action."
