Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

After Hu Sanniang pointed out the things to pay attention to in Bianliang, Tokyo, especially the dark places such as Wuyou Cave, she asked Wu Song and others to go wandering in Tokyo by themselves, and took the mules to the chariot shop by the way.

Wu Song stood by Hu Sanniang's door and refused to leave.

"Wu Erlang, why don't you go shopping with them?"

"Eldest Young Master has to leave someone beside him to obey orders."

Hu Sanniang had no choice but to stay outside the door with Wu Song, and practice kung fu by herself on the long couch in the main hall.When it was almost midnight, the guards came back happily talking and laughing. Wu Song arranged the order of night duty for several people, and then went back to rest in peace.

Tong Guan led the army back almost day and night, but no matter how hard he urged, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Beijing camp were still tired and lazy as usual, and it took them seven or eight days to get close to the capital.Tong Guan didn't care about the delaying army, so he ordered the generals to take the soldiers back to the original camp, and he brought his personal guards and horses into Beijing.He didn't care that it was getting late after entering Beijing, so he hurried into the palace to see the Taoist emperor.

Emperor Daojun Zhao Ji was discussing calligraphy and painting with King Yun Zhao Kai in the study room, and the long case in front of him was the cursive script of Thousand Characters, and the font seemed to be a new font that he had recently perfected.He looked at his masterpiece that he had just written, and the more he looked at it, the happier he was. He only felt that this painting was satisfactory and made him full of ambition.

"Father's handwriting has become more noble, elegant, elegant, and free. With this font alone, it can already be as famous as the sage of calligraphy in the annals of history."

Zhao Ji was proud, Nian Xu showed a knowing smile.

"If this is the case, my decades of painstaking efforts will not be wasted."

Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, was born in the first year of the founding of Jingguo when the Taoist emperor ascended the throne and changed the Yuan Dynasty. He was the only prince who won the Taoist emperor's heart.The other princes combined are not as good as him alone.Even counting the eldest son of the Yuan Dynasty who had already been established as the prince, it was the same result.

Zhao Kai's biological mother was the concubine Wang Guifei who was very much loved by the Emperor Daojun. He was called the third son, but because the second son of the Emperor Daojun died early, he was actually the second son of the Emperor Daojun.He is simple in the emperor's heart, not only because of his biological mother Wang Guifei, but also because he has been far smarter than the prince and other brothers since he was a child, and he was able to respond to the Taoist emperor in poetry and songs very early, and even Pay to sing.And as he got older, he could discuss and learn from the Taoist emperor in painting, especially meticulous painting of flowers and birds.

What makes his supporters trust and admire him even more is that a few years ago, he took part in the imperial examination incognito, and he was invincible all the way and entered the imperial examination.And he performed even better in the palace examination, winning the first prize.

Although Emperor Daojun was happy, he finally made No.2 the champion.But for many years, he and Emperor Daojun have become more than just father and son and confidantes with the same interests and hobbies. The emperor Daojun has valued and reused him in recent years, showing that he is above the prince everywhere.

From childhood to adulthood, the crown prince was no match for King Yun from inside to outside.For the convenience of King Yun, Emperor Daojun built a flying bridge between Jinzhong and King Yun's mansion to facilitate the travel of King Yun after he appointed King Yun as the Secretary of the imperial city.This kind of special favor is also No.1 throughout the ages.

The instigation of the deposed prince Liyun Wang, both inside and outside the court, has been put on the table from undercurrent.Among them, the Taizai Wang Fu was the head, followed closely by the Taishi Tong Guan who was born as an eunuch, and the school inspector Liang Shicheng, who was known as an invisible figure, actively responded, and then there were Yang Jian, and Cai You, Cai Jing's eldest son who was in charge of the Privy Council. , He also actively supported the change of King Liyun to be the prince.

The father and son laughed at Yan Yan, and Tong Guan who suddenly barged in interrupted the peaceful and beautiful atmosphere.

"Officials," Tong Guan said because he was a trusted eunuch of the Emperor Daojun, so he could directly go in and out of his study and sleeping hall when needed.Before he entered the palace, he inquired that Emperor Haodao was discussing calligraphy with King Yun.He knew that Emperor Daojun was in a happy mood, so he knelt down on the ground when he entered the door, and wailed miserably.

King Yun hurriedly said, "What's wrong with Taishi Tong? Where did you suffer wronged?"

Emperor Daojun said: "Get up first, why not kneel down properly. Come and see this picture of me."

Tong Guan had no choice but to get up, leaned over to the book case, and couldn't help but praise: "The official characters are like a girl with hairpins who are smart and good at dancing. They are beautiful and elegant, and they are not stained with mortal dust."

Emperor Daojun was in a good mood, so he said, "This is how I reward you."

Tong Guan bowed and smiled to thank him.

Yun Wang Zhao Kai took the opportunity to say: "Father, it's getting late, so my son is going back."

Emperor Daojun thought about Tong Guan's kneeling just now, nodded, and called a small yellow door to send King Yun back out of the palace by Feiqiao.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

After Emperor Daojun took King Yun away, he asked Tong Guan with a downcast face.He remembered that Tong Guan was sent by him to Jingdong East Road to encircle and suppress the bandits in Liangshanbo.

Tong Guan immediately knelt down again, and said with an extremely frightened look: "Officials, this old servant will almost never come back."

He licked his dry lips, swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and continued: "Officials, this old slave failed you and failed to wipe out Liangshan."

Emperor Daojun became nervous, "It's only been more than a month? The [-] army is gone?"

Tong Guan hurriedly said: "Officials, there are more than [-] of the [-] soldiers brought by the old slave. I just don't know where those bandits got the artillery. They are so dexterous that they can fire on the boat. Every night A few miles away, the cannonballs can be fired into the big camp. During the day, the old slave has no boats to attack Liangshan across the wide and vast water. He originally planned to set up camp outside Liangshan in order to trap them to death. But he did not expect those mountains The bandit actually has such a terrible drug..."

Tong Guan was really scared.With so many personal guards protecting him, and being captured by Liang Shan, thinking about it, he would be scared to death, okay?

"Huh? Tell me in detail what's going on."

Tong Guan can also be regarded as a capable minister who can lead troops to fight.Otherwise, the Emperor Daojun would not use Tong Guan to destroy Liangshan after Tong Guan wiped out Fang La's rebels.

"Officials, on the night of eight days ago, I was in the big tent of the Chinese army, not to mention the [-] soldiers of the Chinese army, but there were dozens of imperial guards inside and outside the tent, and I was arrested without knowing it. Liangshan."

Emperor Daojun was very puzzled, his face turned pale, and he was a little frightened by Tong Guan's words.

"How could such a thing happen? Are the guards of the Forbidden Army acting as internal support for the bandits in Liangshan Po?"

Tong Guan shook his head.

"It was the female bandit leader from Liangshanpo who broke into the Chinese army's big tent in person. I don't know what kind of drug she threw, and more than a dozen personal guards in the big tent lost consciousness together with me. Then the thief leader led When I went to Liangshan, I found out after I went down the mountain the next day that none of the generals in the army could catch up with her on horses."

"Those thieves have..."

Emperor Daojun looked Tong Guan up and down carefully, but found no obvious injuries on him.

"Those bandits are nothing like old slaves. It's just that the female bandit leader in Liangshan asked the old slave to bring a letter to the government," Tong Guan thought, telling the worst news first, and then making other calculations.

"She wants the government to issue a Zen edict to her within half a month, otherwise they will bring the descendants of the Zhao family..."

The Emperor Daojun changed his expression so angry that he wanted to give his throne to a woman with a foreign surname?It's crazy!

He gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly: "Tomorrow, we will use all the millions of soldiers in the capital to level Liangshan."

"Officials, officials can't."

Tong Guan hurriedly stopped him, "The old slave has never found a way to deal with their artillery. The female bandit leader said that the court can defend it for three months but not for three years. If you send troops to encircle Liangshan, she will harvest one every time it comes. The prince's life."

Emperor Daojun was worried.

"They dare to come to Tokyo Ouchi to plot against the prince?"

"Officials, the old slave was arrested by her in the central army tent, which palace guards can compare... Besides, the female bandit said that she can use a hundred cannons to fire bombs at once, so what? Such an army can resist. It is said that Hu Yanzhuo, who was the first to attack Liangshan, was the one who was drugged and captured."

Emperor Daojun sat down on the large dragon chair, not knowing what to say.He thought to himself, what would he do if the bandits came to Tokyo?Probably because he was overly nervous, he murmured out the thoughts in his heart.

Tong Guan bowed his head, pretending that he didn't exist.

After a long time, Emperor Daojun found that Tong Guan was still kneeling at his feet.

"Get up. Call Wang Fu, Liang Shicheng, Gao Qiu, Cai Jing, and Cai You into the palace to discuss this matter."

Tong Guan got up according to his words, and ordered Xiao Huangmen to invite the adults mentioned by the official.Before Wang Fu and others entered the palace, the conversation between Tong Guan and the officials had already reached the ears of those who cared.

Ever since Emperor Daojun ascended the throne, he had never felt so sad like this night.He believed that what Tong Guan said was not false.Hu Yanzhuo, who was the first to encircle and suppress Liangshan, was basically wiped out by the entire army. Some of the soldiers who escaped also said that the cannonballs made by the Liangshan bandits were a large piece.And when the Liangshan bandits attacked Qingzhou with shells made of drugs, the defenders of Qingzhou also fainted in batches.The city gate of Qingzhou was also smashed to pieces by the cannons of the thieves.

This time, a hundred thousand troops were sent to encircle and suppress Liangshan, but the bandits actually captured the commander-in-chief from the tent of the Chinese army guarded by thousands of troops.Is the imperial palace comparable to a barracks?

Emperor Daojun thought so, so he asked Gao Qiu.

Because Gao Qiu got the favor of the Taoist emperor, he settled down from a rogue in Bianliang, Tokyo, and became a high-ranking Taiwei. He didn't want the official seat to be given to the female thief leader of Liangshan.

He thought about it and said: "The forbidden army in the palace is all elite soldiers selected from the barracks, they are not ordinary soldiers. I think that the forbidden army should be able to defeat the bandits."

Tong Guan was scared out of his wits long ago, he was not convinced in his heart, but his face was worried and his voice was panicked and suppressed.

"Gao Taiwei, now that Liangshan's bandits are showing their viciousness, they are coveting the country and society of the Song Dynasty. They even use the prince to blackmail the officials and send a large army to encircle and suppress them. Is there any general who dares to lead the army?"

Several people couldn't accept Tong Guan's words.

Emperor Daojun covered his face and sighed, choked up and unable to speak.

"Could it be that the foundation of the ancestors will be destroyed in my hands? How will I see my ancestors in the future?"

Liang Shicheng said in a low voice: "How about the official family abdicate to the crown prince?"
