Northern Song Dynasty: Counterattack and became emperor after the Jingkang Revolution

Zhu Shengfei and Zhang Jiucheng were also arrested.

They were dragged roughly by the guards towards the prison car.

The princes looked at their backs and shed tears of grief and indignation. They knew that this incident was a major shock to the Song Dynasty court and a major collapse of their faith.

In the palace, Zhao Gou felt relieved as he listened to the shouts outside gradually subsided.

He glanced at Qin Hui who was standing aside, and saw a proud smile on Qin Hui's face.

Zhao Gou felt dissatisfied for a while, but thought that he still needed to rely on Qin Hui to stabilize the court, so he tolerated his dissatisfaction.

Qin Hui looked at Zhao Gou's face and felt secretly proud.

He knew that his plan had succeeded.

Lu Yihao, Zhu Shengfei and other loyal ministers have been eliminated from the court. Next, he can control the court situation even more unscrupulously.

After learning that his wife and children were imprisoned, Han Shizhong, who was in Daming Mansion, was filled with grief and anger.

The night wind roared, blowing his black hair, and seemed to be blowing away the pain and despair in his heart.

The moonlight was like water, reflecting on the towering Damingfu city wall, but it could not shine into the darkness in his heart.

Han Shizhong stayed up all night. He rushed from Daming Mansion to Kaifeng all night, non-stop and anxious.

His heart was filled with worry and concern for his wife and children, as well as anger at the emperor who ordered them to be imprisoned.

When Han Shizhong arrived in Kaifeng, the sky was already slightly bright.

He ignored rest and went directly to Zhao Yingluo's mansion to ask to see her.

In front of Zhao Yingluo's mansion, there are majestic stone lions and the red door is tightly closed.

Han Shizhong stood in front of the door with mixed feelings in his heart, wondering whether the princess would be willing to help him.

The housekeeper learned that it was Han Shizhong who came to see him, and hurriedly took him to the living room.

As soon as he entered the living room, he saw Zhao Yingluo's elegant and elegant face.

"Princess, I, Han Shizhong, have been loyal to my country all my life and have never had any selfish motives. Now that my wife and children are innocently affected, I...I am really heartbroken. I beg Your Highness the Princess to rescue them. I, Han Shizhong, am willing to go through fire and water for Your Highness the Princess, no matter what!"

After finishing speaking, tears actually filled the eyes of those tough men.

Zhao Yingluo looked at Han Shizhong in front of her. This always resolute and courageous general was bursting into tears at this moment, and the last hope in her heart for her royal brother was shattered like a bubble.

She knew very well that the emperor's behavior this time had completely chilled the loyal minister's heart.

"Brother Huang is confused! General Han, don't worry, I will do my best to save them."

Later, Zhao Yingluo took Han Shizhong to meet his father, the Supreme Emperor. The Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji was painting a landscape painting with brush and ink in his study.

However, when he learned about this from Zhao Yingluo, he was so angry that he was shaking all over, and his old eyes shone with anger and disappointment. He suddenly waved his sleeves, tore the newly painted landscape painting to pieces, and said angrily: "This traitor! After treating Zhongliang like this! I...I must personally come forward to seek justice for General Han!"

Zhao Yingluo said in a deep voice, "Dad, I have decided to raise troops and go south to force the emperor to release General Han's wife and children."

Knowing that Zhao Yingluo planned to personally lead troops to attack his brother Zhao Gou, Emperor Zhao Ji was filled with worries. He frowned and said with some fear: "Are you really going to lead the troops south in person? Do you know what this means? Kaifeng City cannot be in charge without you."

Zhao Yingluo raised his head, with a firm light shining in his eyes: "I understand your concerns. But General Han's wife and children are innocently affected, and I cannot sit idly by. Moreover, I have made careful arrangements to ensure the safety of Kaifeng City. "

Zhao Ji sighed and said: "Yingluo, I have never doubted your courage and wisdom. But you have to know that once you leave Kaifeng, the Jin Kingdom and Daxia will probably take the opportunity to go south and threaten our capital. This is not It’s a joke.”

Zhao Yingluo smiled slightly, with confidence in his eyes: "Dad, don't worry, I have already considered this. I have sent people secretly to the Kingdom of Jin and Daxia to inquire about their movements. At the same time, I have also contacted the two generals Yue Fei and Wang Zaixing , they will send troops to assist us when necessary. Moreover, I will also recall my imperial brother Zhao Zhen from Luoyang, and he will take charge of the overall situation of Kaifeng."

When Zhao Ji heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he fell into deep thought.

He was aware of Zhao Yingluo's careful arrangements, but the worries in his heart were still difficult to eliminate.

After all, he could sit back and relax with her in Kaifeng.

However, looking at Zhao Yingluo's firm eyes and courageous expression, Zhao Ji knew that she had made up her mind.

He sighed helplessly and said: "Okay, now that you have decided, then do it as you want. But you must remember to be careful and ensure your own safety."

Zhao Yingluo nodded and said, "Don't worry, dad, everything is under my control."

After getting her father's support, Zhao Yingluo quickly wrote to Yue Fei and Wang Zaixing, asking them to guard against the Jin people going south.

Later, the emperor's younger brother Zhao Zhen was asked to return to Kaifeng to take charge of the overall situation. Kaifeng Storm: The Princess Raises an Army

As soon as Zhao Zhen arrived in Kaifeng, she immediately rushed to the princess mansion to meet Zhao Yingluo. There was some urgency and worry in his eyes: "Sister Huang, have you really decided to raise an army? In what name?"

Zhao Yingluo looked at him calmly, with a resolute smile on his lips: "'Qing Jun Side', in this name, we will eliminate the traitors and restore the court's order."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen was silent for a moment, and then nodded slowly: "I understand, Sister Huang. This name can not only express our righteous stance, but also reduce unnecessary internal friction."

Later, Zhao Yingluo explained his plan to Zhao Zhen in detail. She planned to let Han Shizhong raise troops from Daming Mansion, while she personally led an army of 100,000, and invited veteran generals Zongze and Li Gang to go south from Kaifeng together. Such a deployment aims to disperse the enemy's forces while also ensuring the safety of Kaifeng.

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen's eyes flashed with determination: "Sister Huang, don't worry, I will fully support you in Kaifeng. As long as I am here, Kaifeng will never be lost."

"Liu Guangshi's army was originally a big help to us." Zhao Yingluo said solemnly, "However, the coach was framed and imprisoned. They are leaderless. It is a good time for us to win over them."

Zhao Zhen frowned: "But will they surrender easily?"

Zhao Yingluo smiled slightly, with a confident light in his eyes: "They are all bloody men, how can they be willing to be used by traitors? As long as we reveal the truth, they will definitely switch sides angrily."

The facts were just as Zhao Yingluo expected.

As the army moved south, cities along the way surrendered.

After learning that Zhao Yingluo was leading his army south, the army that originally belonged to Liu Guangshi instantly became excited.

"We worked hard for the imperial court, but we ended up like this!"

"How can we sit back and watch when traitors take over?"

The soldiers shouted in unison: "Get rid of the traitors! Restore the imperial court!" The voice was loud and the momentum was like a rainbow.

Then they surrendered in Kaicheng, and Zhao Yingluo's army successfully entered Shouzhou.
