crossing with green hills

"Hurry up and tell the doctor!"

……

After everyone reacted, looking at Zhao Yun, who was already covered in pitch black, billowing green smoke, and almost reduced to charcoal, he was in chaos for a while.

Some ministers of the DPRK and China looked at this scene with shock in their eyes, but also a trace of fear. They seemed to have unknown fears in their hearts, and tried their best to calm their emotions.

Pretending to turn pale with shock, he quickly ordered the servants in the palace to invite the imperial physician.

Although he knew that the emperor, who had little hope and was even weak, was dying before his eyes, the necessary process still had to go through.

Put on an air of loyalty.

It's a pity that the emperor, who had only been on the throne for five years, died long ago, and his body was completely destroyed by the huge lightning energy.

During this period, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, all the important officials in the court who have gone through the storm all forgot to block the news.

By the time someone raised it, it was already too late.

Of course, these old foxes were stealthy, alert and cunning, and did not attract the attention of others.

Except for a woman in a palace costume who was surrounded by everyone and was closer to the dead emperor, her eyes moved slightly with tears in her eyes.

Immediately, it returned to its original state.

……

This news, once spread to ten, ten spread to hundreds.

In just a few days, the kung fu spread throughout the Song Dynasty.

Those who heard it were overwhelmed, and soon rumors spread, and various versions were derived, focusing on the core topic of the emperor being struck to death by lightning.

During this period, a rumor was widely publicized with the help of people with good intentions. It started from the streets and alleys and spread to the world.

"The emperor has no way, the Song Dynasty loses its deer, and the heavens will calamity, alert the world.

A foolish ruler misleads the country, favors and trusts treacherous ministers, a demon queen comes to the court, and external disasters make the court chaotic.

Going north at sunrise, fighting fiercely against the pack of wolves, the Yang family is a real dragon, peerless. "

On the street, young children held hands and sang songs:

"When the day is even, walk across the fork, the thunder falls, and no life will be born..."

For a time, the people were in an uproar, and there was turmoil inside and outside the court.

Empress Dowager Yang is very ambitious. On the grounds that "the country cannot live without a king", relying on the status of Song Ningzong's widow and current empress dowager, she wants to choose a soft-tempered and easy-tempered descendant of the Zhao family from the clan and nobles to support her. He ascended the throne as emperor.

But to his great disappointment and unexpected, in the past, he made friends with him, even worked for him, to curry favor with good-looking officials.

Now, instead, they jumped out one by one, accusing her righteously, taking the lead in opposing her decision, eager to draw a line with her.

Some respected old ministers even accused her of being a rooster in the morning, forcing her to be isolated in the palace and live for the rest of her life.

Just when the imperial court was in chaos.

I don't know whether they deliberately concealed it or deliberately delayed it. The news of the border victory came long overdue.

The chaotic court was shocked suddenly.

Yang Kang, Guo Jing and other generals have made outstanding military exploits, shining brightly like stars in the night sky.

One by one came into the eyes of the nobles of the Zhao family. At this time, whoever controls the army has the initiative.

Whoever has the chance to ascend to the big position.

But only Yang Kang made them want to get rid of it quickly.

Because of the rumor among the people, they had heard about it. Although they didn't know the source of the news, it didn't prevent them from regarding Yang Kang as their enemy.

If the military information from the front had not been sent back, they would only be suspicious of Yang Kang and be temporarily included in the suspect list.

However, Yang Kang, who has achieved great victory on the front line and is second to none in military exploits, has naturally become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of Zhao's children.

After all, the phrase "Yang's family is a real dragon" made them restless, forcing them to fight against their enemies and gather in a gorgeously decorated hall with carved beams and painted buildings to discuss this matter.

"Yang Kang must die! He must not be allowed to reach Lin'an alive. It doesn't matter whether he has the intention of treason or not."

"I'd rather kill the wrong one than let it go."

"But now that he is returning to the imperial court, he has thousands of troops under his command, and he is in control. Once the news comes out, he will win the hearts of the people again. I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with."

"Don't even think about a sneak attack. Before the killer gets close, you will already be killed. It's a waste of money and hard work. The gain outweighs the loss."

"Since it can't be done in secret, let's come in the open and aboveboard, and use righteousness to oppress people, forcing them to express their views."

"Military power is not only in the hands of Yang Kang. In fact, we can also secretly contact some generals and unite. If the surname Yang is ignorant, let him die in Huangquan directly and make him follow the late emperor and be a loyal minister. A good general, leaving a good name in history, can be regarded as worthy of him."

……

Yang Kang, who was on his way to Lin'an at full speed, was naturally unaware of the turbulent situation in the upper echelons of the capital.

But at this moment, he was standing on a high ground, overlooking the huge city that was already in the distance, and he was ready to meet everything in his heart.

The breeze was blowing slightly, and with infinite thoughts, Yang Kang was drawn into the memories:

Five years ago, Daqingshan

Bamboo courtyard

Under the plane tree

Yang Kang, who recovered from his injuries, came to express his thanks to Li Tiansheng, and at the same time asked to leave the mountain temporarily, intending to go to Wuxi to assassinate the corrupt officials who hunted them down.

In the end, he was persuaded by the latter, and he still remembers the conversation he had with Li Tiansheng:

"Are you going out of the mountain?"

"Yes!"

"Do you want to act chivalrously and eradicate corrupt officials in Wuxi?"

"Yes!"

"There are not a few corrupt officials in the world, some are corrupt in the open, and some are corrupt in the dark. With your own strength, how many can you kill in your entire life?

How can you guarantee that every time you assassinate you, you will be able to get out of your body, and won't be like the last time, and you will never escape?
