[Comprehensive Martial Arts] Journey to the Homeland

Chapter 109

When Xi and Lei heard that there was a secret, they came in a hurry, thinking that Qi Shaoshang himself wanted to confess his privacy, and didn't want to mention the emperor as soon as he opened his mouth.When they heard this, they were taken aback for a moment, and their reaction was not much better than Su Ye's.After Lei Juan was stunned, he immediately said coldly: "I really don't know whether I should stay or not, and whether I should listen to this matter."

If the emperor has an ulterior secret, it is usually related to the succession of the crown prince.Song Zhezong Zhao Xu died of a sudden illness and died young. There was no crown prince left behind, so he had to find a suitable candidate among his brothers.At that time, there were two candidates for Zongwang. One was Zhezong Tong's mother and brother, Cai Wang Zhaosi, and the second was the current "Taoist Emperor" Zhao Ji, the future Song Huizong.

Prime Minister Zhang Dun supported Zhao Si, but Queen Mother Xiang supported Zhao Ji, and finally Zhao Ji ascended the throne as emperor.

When Su Ye went to the dungeon world after the Northern Song Dynasty, he could find the history books of the Song Dynasty at any time, so he was no stranger to this matter.It is said that because Zhao Si and Zhezong were both born to the concubine Zhu's family, the Empress Dowager Xiang was worried that after Zhao Si succeeded to the throne, the Zhu family would be powerful and she would be forced to retreat to the deep palace, so she said, "Both are the sons of Shenzong, why should this be the case", The decision to choose Zhao Ji planted the root of the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty.

However, this world is not the Song Dynasty in real history. Zhuge Shenhou, Fang Yingkan, Fu Zongshu, Mi Cangqiong, Longba Taiye, Zhu Liyue and others appeared who she had never heard of.Then the cause and effect of other things may not be the same as those recorded in historical books.

Su Ye still has mixed feelings in his heart, and one can imagine the mood of the people who were born and raised in this place.Fortunately, Lei Juan was not an ordinary person, so he only complained coldly, and still sat firmly on the chair, waiting for Qi Shaoshang's follow-up.

The matter itself is not very complicated, it can even be said to be very old-fashioned, but for people outside the clan, there is always a layer of mystery that is difficult for ordinary people to peek at.

In this world, Song Zhezong also died of illness, but he left a will in advance, designating Zhao Si as the prince to inherit the great treasure.But after his death, the prince Taifu died suddenly and unexpectedly, causing turmoil in the court.Empress Dowager Xiang died inexplicably within less than half a year.

All the abnormalities are related to Zhao Ji. He colluded with the ministers of the court and the people of the Jianghu, forced to kill the clan's flesh and blood, and tried to put Zhao Si to death many times.Prince Taibao Chu Xiangyu protected Zhao Si and fled to the Jurchen Ministry, intending to borrow troops to regain the throne, but was intercepted and killed by Cai and Fu, and the success fell short.

Because of this, the Cai party and the emperor have an inescapable relationship of interest, one is hurt and the other is prosperous.Cai Jing was dismissed twice and made a comeback twice, not just because he knew how to flatter the king.

Chu Xiangyu holds the queen mother's letter and the prince's blood book in his hand, which is enough to prove that Zhao Ji's position was not right, he ascended the throne by persecuting his brothers, and then assassinated the queen mother.It's a pity that Zhao seems to have passed away, and Zhao Ji's throne is very stable, even if he has a handle, it is difficult to achieve a major event.

He lived in the mountains and forests, led the heroes of the rivers and lakes to fight against the Kingdom of Jin, and became the famous "King of Extinction". He was captured by the government and thrown into the prison of Cangzhou.Qi Shaoshang hid him in the stronghold, because he was the leader of the anti-golden army and had a high prestige, so he tried his best to protect his safety, so he learned the secret of the emperor and got the blood book that was divided into two by Chu Xiangyu.

Unfortunately, Chu Xiangyu died at the hands of the four famous arresters.Tie Shou and Qi Shaoshang got acquainted in this case, and they admired each other very much, and they did not pursue Lian Yunzhai's responsibility afterwards.Qi Shaoshang returned to Lianyunzhai and continued to help the poor. Until today, he knew that he had become a thorn in the emperor's eyes.

Behind Fu Zongshu is Cai Jing, and behind Cai Jing is Zhao Ji, so Liu Dufeng wanted to ask clearly, and he didn't want to be confused until he died.

Qi Shaoshang's narration was simple and clear, yet very detailed. After listening to it, the other three had no doubts in their minds.He didn't show any evidence, but they believed it. They believed that this was the reason why Fu Zongshu wasted so much time to catch Qi Shaoshang.

Lei Juan's expression was solemn, and he didn't speak for a long time, obviously thinking about the seriousness of the matter.Xi Honglei smiled wryly, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Qi Shaoshang said helplessly, "Because I didn't expect it."

Su Ye let out a long breath, and said slowly: "I have told people before that the current emperor's head is a little unclear, and he can't tell which is more important. Sure enough, I didn't misunderstand him."

Qi Shaoshang was taken aback, and asked, "How do you say it?"

Su Ye said: "Zhao Ji has been on the throne for many years, and it doesn't matter if he is right or not. Tang Taizong killed his brothers and forced his father to abdicate to become the Supreme Emperor. Song Taizu Chen Qiao rebelled and won the country from the orphans and widows. Emperor Yongle... Forget it, I just want to say, how the emperor is doing depends on what he does after he becomes the emperor. If you do well, you will still be a wise emperor praised by the ages. If you don’t do well, so what? Destroying the evidence can only prove that he has a guilty conscience and believes that the throne is unstable, so he wants to eliminate all unfavorable things."

Lei Juan nodded and said: "That's right, whether it's Chu Xiangyu or Qi Shaoshang, they haven't done anything for many years with the handwritten blood book, which proves that they haven't found a chance to attack. But it doesn't matter what we think."

Su Ye also nodded, and replied: "Since he thinks the matter is important, it is in our interest. I guess he never personally threatened anyone before and after he took the throne, otherwise he shouldn't be ignorant. The more he shows importance to something Things, the easier it is for the other party to use this thing to negotiate terms with him.”

Deep down in her heart, she never felt that the emperor was anything special, let alone facing the famous fatuous emperor in history.As soon as she heard the inside story, she felt that she had a chance to stand up, and even smiled slightly on her face, looking extremely weird.

Lei Juan was quite surprised, flinched in the fur, and asked, "Do you want to negotiate terms with the emperor?"

Su Ye said: "I'm afraid it won't work for the time being, because there are a large group of officers and soldiers surrounding the city of Kuinuo, we must first find a way to get in touch with the capital, and let the emperor know about it, so that we can talk about it."

In fact, she still has doubts after listening to it, because as far as she knows, Fang Yingkan's adoptive father Fang Geyin and the prince Zhuge Xiaohua all made great achievements in the fight for the throne, so they were appointed as officials as idlers in the mountains .Could it be that they didn't see Zhao Ji's deeds, and they all believed that he would become a generation of Mingjun?

But there are priorities, she doesn't need to worry about so much.She previously felt that Tie Shou had always been loyal to the emperor and served the country, so she agreed with Qi Shaoshang's statement and did not let him come to listen. Now she thought that he must be informed in order to operate through the Shenhou Mansion, and it would be easier for the emperor to put down his suspicions.

Or, she can go back to Beijing to inform Su Mengzhen, and use Fengyulou's contacts and friendship to achieve the goal she is considering.

Xi Honglei bit her lower lip tightly, and after listening to them say a few words in succession, she opened her mouth again: "I understand, you want to use this as a bargaining chip. The Shaoshang told the emperor that he promised never to leak the secret, in exchange , ask the imperial court to grant him a pardon, and never embarrass Lian Yunzhai?"

Su Ye said: "Yes."

Xi Honglei frowned and said: "If they don't believe it, what should we do?"

Su Ye smiled and said: "If you don't believe it, you don't believe it. It doesn't matter. If it is true, I will immediately spread the news all over the world, post notices in the capital, and make the city full of storms. As long as I live, I will tell everyone that the emperor killed the emperor." The elder brother and the empress dowager won the throne, Cai Jing and others participated in the conspiracy to seize the throne, but they are really dishonest and treacherous ministers. The prince is orthodox, and he is living in exile, looking forward to returning to the court."

Her tone was gentle and peaceful, but very firm, making people unconsciously believe that she would really do this.She smiled slightly, and said again: "The person who is afraid is him, not us. Just because he secretly ordered Liu Dufeng to come and monitor him, but he refused to tell the reason, you can see how worried he is about the blood book being published to the world. I firmly believe that the world will It is a heavy weapon, and only the Taoist can get it, never caring about the orthodoxy of the throne, but more people care, and that is enough."

Qi Shaoshang shook his head and said, "Where is the prince orthodox? If the prince leaves descendants, Chu Xiangyu shouldn't keep silent."

Su Ye smiled and said: "I'm just talking nonsense, don't worry about it so much. In short, give me an answer first, do you want to do it or not? Tie Erye is destroying Nuocheng, you must tell him in time and ask him to help run it. Liu Dufeng I also need to give an explanation. I am not very polite to him, but in his position, it is very rare for him to be willing to help us so much."

Lei Juan smiled coldly, and said, "If his two subordinates are not in the city, do you think he will still be part of the gang?"

Su Ye smiled and said, "Stop talking nonsense, what do you guys think?"

She had a clear attitude and no distractions, as if she was going to find something to do.Naturally, Qi Shaoshang, Lei Juan, and Xi Honglei were not so straightforward, they exchanged glances with each other.Lei Juan's eyes were gloomy, like sparks in a block of coal, but he didn't have any objections.The other two were hesitant and expectant, but they were more excited than worried.

In fact, they hesitated to the end, and there was only this way to go, and it was the only way to survive.If you don't do this, even if Qi Shaoshang can escape the pursuit, he will have to flee to the end of the world, and he will never be able to live in a dignified manner.

He also made a quick decision, before the candle tears shed, he made up his mind and said decisively: "Okay, I'll go to Brother Tie right away, the rest..."

He wanted to say, "Let's discuss the rest in the long term", but at this moment, he heard a commotion in Huinuo City, and a woman's exclamation and shouting came from a distance, breaking the peace in this small room.

Xi Honglei raised her eyebrows, got up suddenly, and flew out of the door, almost colliding with Aunt Gongsun who flew over from the corridor.She stopped in shock and asked, "What happened?"

Aunt Gongsun's expression was calm, not anxious and anxious, but her brows were slightly furrowed, indicating that her heart was not as peaceful as it appeared on the surface.She glanced at the red tears and asked, "Where is she?"

After questioning and answering, Su Ye had already walked out of the room and asked, "What's wrong?"

Aunt Gongsun is old in the world and has experienced many turmoil. She is much calmer than young women.But when she spoke to Su Ye, there was still a rare emotion in her tone, "Mr. Yu, Yu Wuyu, the one nicknamed 'Antique', betrayed us. Shi Wuxu, killed several people, opened the secret passage, and let the officers and soldiers into the city."

Xi Honglei's face was as pale as paper, and Su Yeren also froze there.Aunt Gongsun continued: "He has destroyed the entrance to the secret passage, so there is no way to close the stone gate. I'm afraid that when the city is broken, it will be tonight."
