The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 620

"A country cannot be without a king for a day. Today, I implore King Yan to become emperor!" Pan Lianggui said loudly, "King Yan has repeatedly made extraordinary achievements, quelled rebellions, rectified the court, recovered the land of Yanyun, and resisted the invasion of Jin soldiers. Victory with less has greatly inspired the morale of our officers and soldiers, and even more so, the naked face of a goldsmith is deeply loved by the people and highly valued by the Supreme Emperor."

"Today, the Great Song Dynasty is facing the day of no king, and even more so, the golden people are rampant in the territory of our Great Song Dynasty. In time, the Great Song Dynasty is bound to be in danger. Today, the old minister implores His Royal Highness King Yan to proclaim himself emperor, take charge of the Great Song Dynasty, and lead the people of the Great Song Dynasty out of the predicament , Rescue the Second Emperor and return."

"I implore King Yan to ascend the throne!" Wang Yun, Li Gang, Ye Mengde and other five people also followed Pan Lianggui's example and begged Zhao Gou to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor on their knees for the sake of the overall situation.

Then, Zhao Yougong also knelt down and begged: "I implore King Yan to ascend the throne!"

Zhao Gou refused again and again: "My lords' wishes, I have accepted them. What I have done is just doing my duty, which is nothing. As a prince and a citizen of the Song Dynasty, he should serve the country, plead for the people, and serve the people. Please share your worries."

"Now that the life and death of the second emperor is unknown, if I ascend the throne, how will the people of the world treat me in the future. Zhao Gou is really hard to accept the kindness of your lords."

Zhu Zhuo hurriedly said: "The king of Yan's words are wrong! I think that among the princes of the Song Dynasty, no one can surpass him. If the king of Yan does not ascend the throne, who is qualified? Or the prince, he can't be compared with King Yan at all. If anyone opposes King Yan's ascension to the throne, I, Zhu Zhuo, will be the first to refuse. Except for you, I would rather abandon my official position than see the great rivers and mountains given to Jin for nothing. people."

"Master Zhu is serious!" Zhao Gou said, "Master Zhu is a veteran of the two dynasties. He has devoted himself to his duties and is deeply loved by the people. If Mr. Zhu refuses to work because of Zhao's resignation, isn't it Zhao's fault? Because I It is Zhao's fault that Da Song loses a good official who pleads for the people!"

"I respectfully invite King Yan to ascend the throne!" Hundreds of officials also knelt down one after another, and they believed in Zhao Gou wholeheartedly.

In fact, everyone can see that this matter has become a fact.Even if they objected, it would be of no avail. The six ministers and the Privy Council all supported it. If they objected, they would be plucking the tiger's hair. They would dare to do things against the sky, and they could only push the boat along.

It is an inevitable trend for Zhao Gou to become emperor, and they dare not go against the trend.In addition, it is not certain whether Zhao Gou will settle accounts after the fall after he ascends the throne.Therefore, everyone can only nod in agreement.Then, Zhao Yougong took out Zhao Ji's succession edict and announced it in public.

"Ordered by heaven, you will live forever!"

It was also impossible for Zhao Yougong to let everyone read the imperial edict one by one. The ministers standing in the front row all saw the jade seal on the imperial edict, and those eight characters deeply shocked everyone.Because the Chuanguo Yuxi is a symbol of orthodoxy, and it also represents the unending spirit of the Song Dynasty.

The Chuanguo Yuxi is in the hands of Da Song, and it is even seen in the edict of passing the throne, which means that this matter is true.Zhao Gou held the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, and all civil and military officials were immediately dumbfounded. It was the real Jade Seal of Chuanguo, not an imitation, especially the historian personally verified it. According to the records in the book, he confirmed that it was the Jade Seal of Chuanguo.

Therefore, Zhao Gou's ascension to the throne is truly justified, and he is protected by heaven. Those who don't believe it in their hearts have to believe that Zhao Gou is the real dragon among men at this time.Then, everyone discussed the date of enthronement, and set it as the first day of May, a day of great auspiciousness.

Zhao Gou refused to be enthroned again and again. This is courtesy, not his intentional words.If he agrees immediately, I am afraid that others will discuss it; if he refuses too much, it is even more difficult to say, exactly three times is the most suitable.

"Second brother, it's time for us to meet this Jin Dynasty envoy!"

Zhao Yougong smiled sinisterly, and said: "It's time to meet him!"

So, Zhao Yougong, Zhao Gou, and Gao Chong went to the post station together to meet Guo Yaoshi, an envoy of the Jin Dynasty.

"Has His Highness the King of Yan thought it through? If you haven't thought it through, I can give you a few more days!" Guo Yaoshi was drinking and having fun. He was dressed in Song Dynasty costumes and spoke fluent Chinese, unlike He was like a golden man, and those women who didn't know that they saw him handsome and rich, all jumped on him.

When Zhao Gou, Zhao Yougong and others came to the station, Guo Yaoshi was having a good time with those women.If it wasn't for the face of Zhao Gou and others, Guo Yaoshi would definitely be furious at this time, and all the interest would be interrupted by the arrival of Zhao Gou and others.

"No need, I've already thought it through!" Zhao Gou said straight to the point, and all those girls were kicked out by Gao Chong.

Gao Chong was not angry and arrogant, and there was an aura of iron and blood on his body, which let the prostitutes know that this person is not easy to mess with, so they all left obediently.He didn't enter the house himself, he just stood guard at the door, which was also ordered by Zhao Gou, just in case.

"Then what is King Yan's answer?"

"My answer is no!" Zhao Gou replied loudly.

Guo Yaoshi vowed to come to the Great Song Dynasty. He thought that the Jin Dynasty already held the second emperor Huiqin, and that was the real trump card in his hands. Zhao Gou and others would definitely give in. Even if they were unwilling, they would nod their heads in agreement. condition.

After only one day, Zhao Gou's attitude changed so much.Before, he could see clearly that Zhao Gou was hesitating; now Zhao Gou's eyes were unprecedentedly determined, and there was a faint murderous intent.

Guo Yaoshi has already written a letter to the Shangjing Mansion and handed it over to Jin Taizong, vowing that success is close at hand.Fortunately, he didn't expect things to change so much.The letter hadn't been sent to Shangjing yet, but he messed up the errand by himself.

"What do you mean?" Guo Yaoshi was furious and threatened: "Do you know that the second emperor is still in our hands, with your attitude, there is no way to talk about it. If this is the case, then I will return to Beijing immediately and report to the emperor. The life and death of the emperor are all caused by you."

"Do you think you can get out alive?" Zhao Gou yelled, "Da Song is not a place where you can come and go when you want. Today you are a lackey of the golden man, but you forgot that you are too. Song people, if you are willing to be a running dog, then make a plan."

"You...what do you want?" Guo Yaoshi was startled, seeing Zhao Gou walking towards him with a murderous look, his heart was trembling, and the blood in his whole body seemed to be frozen, even his legs and feet could not bear it. Trembling uncontrollably, this made Guo Yaoshi feel bad.

"Let me use your head!" Zhao Gou smiled lightly, and said, "Kill you, use your head to tell Wanyan Cheng that Da Song didn't want to invade and just obediently captured him without doing anything. It’s not a place where he can come and go whenever he wants.”

"As long as he dares to touch the second emperor, I will destroy his Jin Dynasty, kill all the Jin people, and use them for burial. Don't doubt what I said, and don't doubt that I can't do it. Kill you today, use Your head is telling those who surrendered to the Jin Dynasty and are willing to be lackeys a warning, as long as I, Zhao Gou, finds out, no matter who dares to collude with the enemy and betray the country, they will be killed without mercy."

"You...you dare..."

Guo Yaoshi hadn't spoken the words behind, Zhao Yougong had already taken his head off, it was really a knife, without a moment's delay, and he didn't experience too much pain, simply and neatly.Immediately, a gust of blood sprayed out, rendering the room a bright red, and his head also rolled to the ground, his eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, and he could not rest in peace.
