A knife in love

Chapter 110

There are more than a thousand people in the world in this cave, each with their own ghosts at this time. Originally, they heard Zhao Zhen tell the past 12 years ago, but it was related to the struggle for the throne. The dispute between the left and the right is a matter of disapproval. If we have a family and a business, if the government comes to the door, I am afraid it will be a catastrophe to punish the nine clans!" Therefore, many heroes in the world are calculating how to escape from this place. Walk.As for some underworld figures and one-legged thieves, they didn't care, but were more interested in the treasures that Zhao Zhen said.

Seeing everyone whispering to each other in the audience, Zhao Zhen naturally knew what the plans of these Jianghu figures were.Immediately, he continued: "Since you have come here, you are all seeking money. It is just that the senior heroes of all sects and sects have worked for the great Ming Dynasty. If we are disciples and grandchildren, if we cannot avenge our seniors, I am afraid that we will lose the faith of the world. , detrimental to the prestige of chivalry."

When he said this, he suddenly heard someone from the audience say loudly: "You have said so much nonsense, what do you want us to do, you might as well just say it!"

Zhao Zhen looked for the sound and saw a bearded man standing among the crowd, yelling towards the stage.Zhao Zhen smiled slightly and said: "This hero is right, so let me just say it straight. Before the death of the late emperor, he had already realized the conspiracy to offer the palace. It's just that most of the ministers in the court had different intentions. The late emperor If you want to investigate Xingxian Wangfu, I'm afraid there will be chaos in the capital before the imperial decree leaves the palace, and the current situation will be even more unmanageable. Therefore, the late emperor discussed secretly with the commander of Jin Yiwei and several ministers in the court, and left a copy to hunt for thieves The secret decree even transported a batch of important treasures from Da Nei to the late emperor's Kangling from Jin Yiwei, as the military pay for the rebel army in the future..."

When Zhao Zhen mentioned the word "Chongbao", everyone in the audience trembled in their hearts. Many people thought to themselves: "Finally we've got to the point." Thinking that since you are here, you might as well listen to how many treasures there are before making a decision.

Seeing the eager expressions on everyone's faces, Zhao Zhen smiled slightly and said, "If this treasure is converted into silver, it will be the tax revenue of the third year of the Ming Dynasty, about 4000 million taels of silver."

As soon as he said this, the audience was full of voices.Many people raised their arms and shouted: "Let's do it! Lord Zhao can tell you anything!"

Yan Dufei looked disappointed, and said to Li Qiufeng: "I thought we could get this money, but I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, it's cheaper for these bastards!"

Li Qiufeng said: "Brother Yan, Zhao Zhen used this sum of money as a bait to lure so many heroes from the Jianghu to come here. I'm afraid the scheme is not small. He has openly wanted to rebel. Naturally, he thought that there must be some people among the thousands of heroes. .For those who don’t want to follow him to rebel, he will definitely get rid of them all. I’m afraid this place will become a battlefield in a short while, so we’d better get out early.”

Zhao Zhen said on the stage: "I will never dare to give you an order. Let's join in the charitable deeds and work together to kill the rebellious officials and thieves."

Someone in the audience said: "My lord Zhao, Ming Dynasty has a million troops, but we have only a thousand people here. Wouldn't it be a dream come true to resist a million troops?"

Zhao Zhendao: "That's right. It's just that not all of the millions of troops in the court are in the capital. The defenders of the capital are only tens of thousands. The heroes who gathered here today are all highly skilled in martial arts. They can stop hundreds with one. Our 1000 There are many people, enough to be used as an army of [-]. What's more, among the court troops, there are also many loyal to the late emperor."

When he said this, he looked at the crowd in the stands, and said: "This official just said that the order to change the defense of the imperial tomb was indeed issued by this official, but the decision to withdraw troops was not made by this official. General Sang, you Let's talk about the heroes."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw six or seven military officers in full armor coming out of a stone gate on the right side of the cave.The leader, Li Qiufeng, and others have all seen it. It is Sang Liangtian who ordered the murder in the imperial mausoleum that night.The armor of these six or seven military officers was bright, and the armor leaves on their bodies rattled as they walked, adding to their power.Although all the heroes in the audience were highly skilled in martial arts, when they saw these officers, they felt ashamed and gave way to them one after another.

Sang Liangtian walked up to the stage and bowed to Zhao Zhen. Zhao Zhen said: "This general is General Sang Liangtian Sang, the commander of the imperial tomb defenders. General Sang has served as the commander-in-chief of Datong and Xuanfu, and the army under his command is the Ming Dynasty. The elite of the elite army. The so-called three major battalions in the capital are simply vulnerable compared to the frontier army. General Sang is a general who was simply pulled out from the army by the late emperor. He was loyal to the late emperor. If he hadn't been the general The mausoleum guards are transferred away, if you want to come here, I'm afraid it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky."

Sang Liangtian looked around the audience, and said in a deep voice: "Sang is a reckless person who only knows how to be loyal to the Holy Lord. The late emperor was killed by a villain, and unfortunately passed away. We have received the great kindness of the late emperor, and we are devastated. Chaotic party. Sang and his five thousand brothers are willing to follow Mr. Zhao, raise the banner of righteousness, return to the capital, wipe out the traitors and traitors, and restore the Ming Dynasty!"

Most of the people in Jianghu know the bravery of the frontier army, and seeing that the commanders of the frontier army like Sang Liangtian openly rebelled, their confidence was greatly increased.Some gang leaders who had retreated thought to themselves: "Fortunately, I didn't speak out against it just now. If these people succeed in restoration, the faction will inevitably become rebellious. At that time, it will be a serious crime of beheading and exterminating the whole family! Lucky, lucky."

Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "Our helpers are not just the army commanded by Mr. Sang. Many frontier generals such as Datong and Xuanfu are also loyal to the late emperor. As long as we raise the flag of rebellion, these troops will naturally turn around. Just like In the past, Emperor Chengzu fought Jing Nan, ascended to the top, and the Jianwen Party collapsed. Let us work together to wipe out the bandits and restore the old country."

Before he finished speaking, he heard an old voice from the audience say: "Master Zhao, what you said is our advantage. It's just that although the three battalions in the capital are not as brave as the frontier army, but with the army and horses scattered around the capital , the total number is no less than 10 people. If we kill five or six thousand people rashly, I'm afraid there may not be much chance of winning."

Yan Dufei saw that it was Tang He, the head of the Xingyuan Escort Bureau who was speaking, and said to Li Qiufeng in a low voice: "This old thief has always been shrewd, why is he rushing to speak today? He is not afraid that this matter will fail, and he will be punished if the court finds out about it." Is he full?"

Li Qiufeng smiled and said: "This is exactly what this old thief excels at. His words can be said to be flawless, and he did not say clearly whether he supports the court or wants to rebel. In the future, even if Zhao Zhen and others convince him Zhu, he will say that he has persuaded Zhao Zhen; if Zhao Zhen and his group gain power, he will also have the reputation of "jointly assisting in charitable deeds."

Zhao Zhen said on the stage: "Hero Tang is right. There are indeed many soldiers and horses around the capital, and this is why I want to rely on you heroes!"

As soon as he said this, there was a lot of discussion in the audience.Zhao Zhen went on to say: "Heroes are highly skilled in martial arts. Although they have not been trained in battle, they are the strengths of all heroes in the world. From the imperial mausoleum to the capital, it only takes one day and one night to ride a fast horse. If we make a big plan, everyone can quickly enter the capital and burn the canal wharf and the granaries in the capital first. At that time, there will be no food in the capital, and the morale of the army will be in chaos. You can also spread rumors, post notices, open prisons and release prisoners , and even assassinated the opposing general, causing the army and civilians in the capital to be in chaos. When General Sang leads the army to the city, the capital will be at your fingertips, wouldn't it be beautiful?!"

Li Qiufeng said: "This surname Zhao's plan is very poisonous. I'm afraid that the capital will be in chaos and the people will suffer a lot of casualties."

Murong Danyan said at the side: "This official has a vicious mind, but these people in the world are not stupid. If they don't do it well, they will be in danger of confiscating their families and destroying their families. How many of them will be willing to be driven by him?"

But I heard Zhao Zhen say: "Actually, I am very envious of all the heroes of the Jianghu. They are free and unrestrained every day. Someone wrote a poem in the previous dynasty. I remember some lines in it: General Iron Armor crosses the pass at night. , the courtiers wait until the fifth watch is cold, and the monks in the mountain temple have not yet risen, so fame and fortune are not as good as leisure. It is said that the freedom of heroes is incomparable to being an official. Naturally, everyone is here to seek money Come here. With silver, you can be more at ease. Although the treasure left by the late emperor has a lot of silver, it is not as good as the other place..."
