Chapter 55 Hajj

On the royal street, the torches were stirred up, and the king of Wei returned to the palace and was assassinated. This is a big deal. The governor of Kaifeng, the front department of the palace, the bodyguard Ma Jun Department and the bodyguard Bujun Department all sent people to investigate the matter.

King Wei is the most favorite prince of the official family. He is the oldest among the princes, and it is likely that he will be the crown prince in the future. Therefore, these commanders are numb and step up the handling of the case while praying that the emperor will not blame him.

Zhao Dechong, who was frightened, has gone to the imperial city escorted by many guards, but the strange thing is that who is the person in white who was injured beside the king of Wei?

The guards in the palace did not have such a dress. Looking at the king of Wei showing an unprecedented anxious and deteriorating look, he was full of anger and ordered to pass on the imperial doctor left and right. For a while, all kinds of speculations kept pouring out.

Sitting in a spacious and comfortable carriage, his shoulder was very painful. Fortunately, the incense in the car was clear, which made Liu Yanzhao much more comfortable.

"Are you all right?"

Since getting into the carriage, Zhao Dechong has been staring at Liu Yanzhao nervously. As long as he does something, his face is immediately concerned, and he doesn't even ask about Liu Yanzhao's identity.

The innocence of the teenager suddenly appeared, which also made Liu Yanzhao a little ashamed. He actually took this scheming teenager as a stone to ask the way.

"Your Majesty, the imperial city has arrived. Is it time to get out of the carriage?"

The bodyguard outside the car respectfully asked that in the imperial city, all the cars and horses stopped, which was the rule of all dynasties. However, Zhao Dechong did not get out of the car and raised the curtain. "Someone was injured in the car. It's inconvenient to get out of the car. It's better to go straight to the palace."

Hearing this order, the bodyguard who was driving was stunned. Liu Yanzhao was also shocked. When he met for the first time, Zhao Dechong actually wanted to violate the ancestral system for him!

"I was stunned. The person who was injured was the one who saved my life. Why don't you enter the palace quickly!"

Seeing that the bodyguard did not move, Zhao Dechong's words were vaguely angry. Just as the bodyguard continued to drive forward in a dilemma, Liu Yanzhao leaned out and sweated coldly on his pale face. "Thank you for your kindness. It's just that the carriages and horses in the palace are forbidden. The prince should not break the rules for the grass people."

After saying that, he endured the pain and jumped out of the car. "The prince has arrived safely in the imperial city, and the grass people don't have to worry about the assassin, so he will go back first."

"Wait a minute, Xiao Wang has called the imperial doctor. It's not too late to leave after treatment!"

Behind him, Zhao Dechong called and wanted to get off his horse to stop Liu Yanzhao, but he was persuaded by his entourage. "Your Majesty, the imperial city is strictly controlled. I'm afraid that taking people into it will make the officials unhappy. It's better to go down to inquire about the residence of the strong man. How about the prince coming to thank him again tomorrow?"

Angrily stared at the captain of the infantry department who blocked the way. Zhao Dechong stood still and stopped talking. The captain smiled awkwardly. At this time, the forbidden army in the palace came, and he turned to Zhao Dechong and retreated.

"Retain me, come and keep me!"

Slowly moving his steps, Liu Yanzhao kept thinking in his heart that the best way he just thought of in the carriage was to follow Zhao Dechong into the palace, but it had become unrealistic at this time.

Do you pretend to be dizzy?

His brain is spinning quickly. Judging from this short period of contact, Zhao Dechong is young and kind-hearted. If he faints to the ground now, he will be carried into the palace by him.

Just when Liu Yanzhao wanted to use this clumsy method, footsteps followed him, "Please stay, this strong man, the official summons."

Zhao Guangyi wants to see him!

I don't know whether it was luck or painstaking calculation finally worked. Liu Yanzhao only felt that he was hit by good luck, but he turned around with a surprised look on his face, "Does the official want to see the grass people? Is this general serious about what he said?

"That's natural. The young general can still fake the holy will, can't he?"

With bright armor on his body and a carved flat knife in his hand, the young lieutenant is also heroic. As a general of the imperial army, there is a huge gap between Liu Yanzhao and his status, but the other party saved King Wei tonight, and no one knows what will happen in the future.

Therefore, the lieutenant was a little polite to Liu Yanzhao in his speech class. "The imperial doctor has entered the palace, and the official summoned the king of Wei first, so the strong man should deal with the wound first, which is better to have less pain."

"Thank you, General!"

After entering the south gate of the imperial city, Zhao Dechong took the lead in leaving, but he repeatedly told the lieutenant to treat Liu Yanzhao well. Of course, the latter responded repeatedly.

Separated from Zhao Dechong, Liu Yanzhao followed the lieutenant from the side. Although it was a sideways, the imperial city of the Northern Song Dynasty still shocked him.

The darkness at night can't cover the glory of the whole palace. The palaces and pavilions are magnificent, the eaves and corridors are winding, the carved wood is like life, and the steps are jade, and the waves are upward, scattered with white light.

The whole palace is full of purple and magnificent.

In a side hall, the lieutenant who led the way led the people away. The little eunuch waiting in the hall immediately led Liu Yanzhao in, and the imperial doctor who received the emperor's order came forward to check his injury.

The iron arrow was still stuck in the shoulder, and the wound looked a little shocking. There was a barb at the arrow. This was designed by Liu Yanzhao to defeat the enemy. Unexpectedly, he also suffered this.

Even if there were drugs such as numb boiling powder, there was still a heartbreaking pain. Finally, with the sound of the meat being torn, the iron arrow was pulled out.

The old royal doctor couldn't help sighing and ordered the medicine boy on one side to bandage the wound for Liu Yanzhao. After a few words, he cleaned up and went back to life.

Sitting in the same place, Liu Yanzhao was extremely nervous. He was worried about whether Cui Ping and Yanshan had retreated completely, and whether Zhao Guangyi would notice the inappropriateness in the assassination.

When he was thinking nonsense, the sound of small footsteps came. Soon, surrounded by several little eunuchs, a middle-aged man with a face full of spring breeze and a white face came in.

He glanced at Liu Yanzhao, and his voice was sharp and harsh, "Is it you who saved the Wei Wang?"

This man must be the eunuch in charge of the palace. The king of hell is easy to see, and the little ghost is difficult to deal with. Liu Yanzhao hurriedly got up and answered respectfully, "If you go back to your father-in-law, it's just a villain."

"Well," the man snorted softly, "He is also a talented person. The officials call him, come with us!"

I haven't thought about what to say in my heart, but my steps have already stepped out. Wealth and wealth are in danger. Whether it has been planned for so long and whether it can work depends on tonight.

Not long after, before he came to an exquisite palace, when the eunuch who led the way entered the hall to inform, Liu Yanzhao looked up and took a look at the 'hanging arch hall', and the name was not novel.

"The official summons, come in!"

He thanked the eunuch. The other party nodded slightly and ignored it. Liu Yanzhao took two deep breaths and walked into the place he had tried his best to come.

The hall is not as empty and majestic as imagined. The lights on both sides illuminate the whole hall. On the high platform, a man in a yellow robe is condescending.

I didn't look much. When he was still two feet away from the high platform, he bowed his head and saluted. Liu Yanzhao said humbly, "Caomin Liu Jing has seen the official family!"

It was like mud entering the sea, and there was no response. Liu Yanzhao could only keep a salute, restrain the rapid beating of his heart, and did not dare to raise his head. After a long time, he heard the majestic words from above, "Forever."

"You saved my son?"

"When you go back to the official home, the king of Wei is blessed by yourself. Without the grass people, he will be safe and sound."

Staring at Liu Yanzhao, Zhao Guangyi suddenly smiled, and then covered his face with frost. He said, "Come on, drag him out and cut him!"

Two guards guarding outside the hall entered, and Liu Yanzhao was so scared that he sweated coldly. "The officials show mercy, and the grass people have important things to the officials!"

"What do I have to say to you, Xiao Xiao, just drag it out!"

Zhao Guangyi did not allow Liu Yanzhao to defend that this person appeared last night and appeared out of thin air tonight. It seemed to be a coincidence, but there were many doubts. What's more, he had the intention to go to that place. Of course, he couldn't stay.

In the struggle, the wound cracked, and Liu Yanzhao clenched his painful fist, "The official, the Cao people really have something important to do. It is related to the Liu Han court. Please listen to the words of the Cao people!"

Jinyang City, Liu Han's small country?

" Stop it!"

Zhao Guangyi shouted in a low voice. The two bodyguards let go and retreated outside the hall, and Liu Yanzhao, who had just fallen from his heart, suddenly felt that there was too much pressure on his back.

He caused pain and raised his head. At this time, he saw the appearance of the people on the high platform. His square face was thick, his eyes were open angrily, and a momentum of the superior rushed towards him.

"What did you just say?"

"Empties, a big event happened in Jinyang City. Liu Jiyuan's left-handed servant Ma Feng made a mess, which must have been replaced."

Hearing the words, Zhao Guangyi's cold face showed a trace of surprise. For the Song Dynasty, Liu Han's small court was like a light in his back and a slit in his throat.

Because what the Song Dynasty is afraid of is not the dozens of small cities, but the Khitan behind Jinyang City. Only by taking the Northern Han Dynasty can the Yanmen Pass as a barrier to block the iron horse of the Khitan people.

"What about this?"

"Empign officials, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The Northern Han court is turbulent. It is really a good time for the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty. As long as the officials send troops, I believe that they can be destroyed without any effort."

Zhao Guangyi bowed his head and meditated. He had to say that the destruction of the Northern Han Dynasty was very attractive to him. Taizu established the country and swept all directions, which can be said to open up the territory and was extremely illustrious.

As a king, Zhao Guangyi also needs such meritorious service. For this reason, Liu Han must be removed. Taizu failed to defeat it twice. If he can do it, he can just convince a group of old ministers.

It's just that to attack the Northern Han Dynasty, we must solve the threat of the master behind it, Khitan, and the words of the people in front of him may not be credible. Even if there is a huge **, Zhao Guangyi still wants to be more cautious.

"How can I believe what you said?"
