Chapter 46 Dust settled

Seeing that the palace gate was broken and the northern army entered, Zhaocong knew that something was not good. He did not dare to stay on the inner wall to lead people to resist, because it was impossible to hold the wall, so he retreated into the harem with Lv Zhonghe. It was not until he stopped in the Wanshou Palace where the previous emperor had been living.

Both of them's faces became extremely gray, and they really didn't expect such a variable thing. Judging from the banner and the efficiency of attacking the palace gate, they can be sure that this army is indeed the most elite garrison of Northern Xinjiang in the Song Dynasty. Naturally, there is no need to guess why this passer-by came from. Xu Jinghong must have been secretly dispatched.

"But what's wrong with this...?" After entering the bedroom for a long time, Zhao cong muttered. However, Lv Zhonghe could not give his own solution at this moment, just because when things came to this point, they had no chance of turning back.

Now that I think about it, this desperate plan set by myself and others is really confused. Now, the other party has enough reasons to exterminate himself in this palace. After all, it is impossible for them to put an ambush in the palace to kill these many court officials.

Originally, in the sense of Zhao Jing and Lv Zhonghe, the charge was completely blamed on the dead Xu Jinghong after killing these people. He said that this was his plot to make the rebellion in the forbidden army turbulent. And because Xu Jinghong is dead, there is no defense, and he himself is a man in the army, which can be convincing. In this way, Zhaocong not only removed several big troubles in one fell swoop, but also gave himself a justifiable reason to inherit the throne.

However, among them, they still missed one thing, that is, Xu Jinghong was bold and decisive. May I ask, if he even dared to kill the emperor who was still in power at that time, would he not dare to kill a prince? Therefore, when Zhao Zong and the others made up their minds to take action against Xu Jinghong, they had already sent themselves to a dead end.

Lv Zhonghe was silent for a long time, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, now I have to go out and talk to Xu Jinghong. If he still has some scruples, His Highness can protect himself. Even if he controls the court with one hand, His Highness can do that obscure plan, and it's not too late to find another opportunity!"

At this time, Zhao cong had no idea at all. Naturally, there was no reason to disallow it when he saw Lv Zhonghe coming forward. Immediately said gratefully, "In this way, everything will be handed over to Lv Xiang. I'm waiting for the good information here."

Lv Zhonghe nod his head slightly and wanted to go out of the hall. But at this time, with a bang, the door that was closed was suddenly knocked open, and then a row of soldiers with knives and guns rushed in and surrounded Zhaocong and others. Seeing these people killed so quickly, their faces were even worse. At the same time, their eyes turned to the entrance, waiting for Xu Jinghong to appear. Although the two were not sure whether Xu Jinghong had really been killed by those rounds of random arrows, they hoped that he could live at this time, because he was alive that they could live.

After a long time, Xu Jinghong, who was still a little embarrassed, came to their eyes. His body was covered with blood, and even his face was covered with blood, but looking at his momentum, no one really noticed the traces on his body. When he saw that Zhao cong were both in, two lights suddenly shot out of his eyes, and then disappeared. Instead, he showed a warm smile: "It turns out that His Royal Highness King Jing and Lv Xiang are safe here, and now I am relieved."

"Hmm?" Zhao and Lu were stunned when they heard him say this. They had thought about how angry the other party would be when facing Xu Jinghong, or even drew a knife, but they never thought that the other party would face themselves so peacefully.

"Is it possible that he didn't know that we were instructed to do it at the palace gate? But this doesn't make sense..." For a moment, Zhao cong even had such an idea in his heart.

But soon, his delusion was ruthlessly broken, just because Xu Jinghong waved his hand: "Protect the safety of King Jing and Lv Xiang for me and prevent anyone from approaching them!"

"Yes!" The soldiers took a step forward, and their knives and guns were tightly aimed at the two nobles. This was not to protect them, but they were obviously guarding or escorting them.

"Xu...Xu Jinghong, how are you doing? Do you know that leading troops into the palace is a great crime of rebellion, how dare you..." Lv Zhonghe resisted his uneasiness and scolded loudly. But his words were suppressed by Xu Jinghong's sneer: "Rebellious? I'm afraid that the rebel is not me, but someone else, right? The prince, the king of Yong, and many courtiers were killed in the Huiji Gate. I don't know what Lv Xiang thinks about this?

"I, Xu Jinghong, am a straightforward person, and I have always liked to repay kindness and revenge. As long as I can find out which one ordered to take action at the palace gate today, I will definitely not make him feel better!" After saying this, Xu Jinghong turned around and left.

King Jing and Lv Zhonghe opened their mouths to say something, but in the end they didn't say anything more. Their hearts have sunk to the bottom, and the only thing they can't figure out is how Xu Jinghong will send them down.

In fact, before stepping into this Wanshou Palace, Xu Jinghong was full of murderousness and wanted to see them without saying a word. But after entering the bedroom, Xu Jinghong suddenly thought that this was very unfavorable to him. After all, he was a minister, so he killed all the people of the Zhao family, and with a prime minister, this rebellious claim was completely confirmed.

Although Xu Jinghong's current strength is enough to control the whole capital, it is a little out of reach for the rest of the Song Dynasty. In this way, officials and troops from other parts of the Song Dynasty are bound to rise up, and it is too difficult to say whether they can calm everything down at that time. Therefore, the urgent task now is not to kill two people with a knife to vent their anger, but to put all the blame on them, and then establish a young son of the clan as the emperor, step by step to seize the power of the government.

It was because of this idea that Xu Jinghong finally did not put the two people to death, but began to let people save the officials who had not yet died at the palace gate and determine their crimes through their mouths. In addition, Xu Jinghong will also put the charge of killing the former emperor on Zhao Cong's head. In this way, he really has only one way to die.

When everything in the palace has settled, in the Xu family compound west of the capital, an old man also closed his eyes forever in peace. This old man is Xu Zhengnian, who can be said to be the originator of all changes. At this time, he finally finished his life.

Half a month ago, the old marquis's body had come to an end. Therefore, Xu Wanyou took a leave in the court and accompanied his father all the time, which allowed him to escape today's robbery. But what Xu Wanyou couldn't figure out was why his father had been supporting his already oily body, but he refused to swallow. He seems to be looking forward to something...

Until early this morning, there was a shocking sound of fighting in the palace. After the Xu family rushed to find out, they were so shocked that everyone could not speak. It is really a misfortune for the country to have such a mess in the palace. The understanding of his father made Xu Wanyou feel that this may be the key for his father to survive until now, so he told his dying father about it.

Hearing such chaos in the palace, the old marquis's face suddenly appeared red, and his body, which could no longer move, suddenly moved, which surprised the children of the Xu family around him and quickly surrounded them.

After a long time, Xu Zhengnian muttered in a voice that he could only hear: "Feng Shuai, this time, I finally didn't stand on your opposite side. Your grandson is going to avenge you and wash away your grievances for many years... If you have a spirit in heaven, bless him to succeed, and I can also have the face to meet you..."

After saying the last prayer of the boss, Xu Zhengnian put his eyes on it and completely went away. But what he didn't know was that the upheaval in the palace at this time did not come from Xu Jinghong, but from King Jing and Lv Zhonghe.

"The team is right, the palace has been controlled by us, and we have also sent people to comfort the Beijing camp, and there will be no trouble!" After Xu Jinghong came out of the hall, the old dog reported further.

Xu Jinghong nod with satisfaction: "This is the best. First, watch the two people, and then let people go to the Lv family and Jingwang Mansion to make the people there look like they can't leave any future problems!"

"Yes!" The old dog left in a hurry, and then Wang Liehai ran over: "Brother Xu, after the rescue of the brothers, only more than 20 officials have been saved, and the rest have died in this mutiny."

When Xu Jinghong heard this number, he also frowned fiercely: "Hundreds of officials are actually one in ten. This damage is really too great for my court."

"Yes, the other party was too ruthless. Not only was there a crossbow, but also sent people to screen in the crowd afterwards, so many people died."

"But for us, this is a good thing." Xu Jinghong immediately laughed again: "We didn't dare to use these people, but now someone has dealt with us, but we have saved some hands and feet. However, the most important thing is to convince the world that everything is done by King Jing and Lv Zhonghe, which is also very helpful for our next step!"

"We will do our best to do this well." Wang Liehai quickly said, "Those officials have enough influence to speak."

"I hope everything can be passed smoothly. I don't know when the people in the southwest will arrive, so that we can make sure that we are foolproof. Xu Jinghong finally remembered something. It turned out that he also issued a transfer order to the border army in the southwest, so that his strength was strong enough to suppress the opponents who might exist in the Beijing camp!
