In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 168
The visitor was Yu Tianxi, an old acquaintance.

Yu Tianxi was in Jiading for 16 years, that is, last year he became a Jinshi, and he was first awarded the living room. This official is to record the trivial matters of the emperor's daily life.

He is Shi Miyuan's confidant, he has been in the job for less than a year, and this year he was moved to the review officer of the Yushu Institute, which is an official position of Zongzheng Temple.

Yu Tianxi helped Zhao Yurui. After Zhao Yurui came to Beijing, he would come to the door every year during the holidays. If he was in Lin’an, he would come to the door in person. After arriving in Dinghai County, he would come to the door in person when he returned to Beijing. The etiquette is considerate. The relationship between Yu Tianxi and Zhao Yurui Also held up pretty well.

When Yu Tianxi arrived at the mansion, he said that the emperor was still sick in bed, but he could talk.

Half an hour ago, I was going to summon Zhao Yurui, so I should have something to say to Zhao Yurui.

After Zhao Yurui went out, he saw Zheng Fa, the commander of the Forbidden Army outside the door, leading a team of armored soldiers, about a hundred people, standing outside.

It was very hot today, estimated to be 37 octaves. Only a dozen of Zheng Fa's imperial guards were in full armor, and the rest were either in partial armor or leather armor.

This made Zhao Yurui feel that the rate of wearing armor in the Southern Song Dynasty was not as high as in the legend, and ordinary people couldn't afford to wear armor.

In such a hot day, wearing a stepper armor, some people were sweating and their faces were flushed. Zhao and Rui were afraid that they would fall to the ground due to heat stroke.

Seeing Zhao Yurui's unusual state, Yu Tianxi said in a low voice: "I'm afraid the officials will fail. The Prime Minister means that you must not leave Lin'an these few days, and be ready to enter the palace at any time." It means that you have to prepare at night, Who knows when the official will die.

"Once there is any situation, Zheng Fa, the commander of the imperial army, will send someone to Wei Wangfu to escort you into the palace."

Zhao Yurui immediately said: "Can the forbidden army enter the palace? Now the palace is guarded by Qian Bin's people."

Yu Tianxi comforted Zhao Yurui: "Don't worry, the prime minister has his own arrangements."

Seeing Yu Tianxi's eager concern, Zhao Yurui lost his mind for a short while. Lao Shi treated him well, and even praised him as emperor. It seemed a bit unkind to think about dealing with Lao Shi before he took office.

But, old Shi, can't you let go of the power in your hands and enjoy the rest of your life?

Zhao Yurui can feel his conscience and say that he is really not a person who loves power. If it was a peaceful era, he would rather be a shopkeeper who withdraws his hands and doesn't care about anything. But this is the late Southern Song Dynasty.

He can't let Shi Miyuan go on like this. If the Southern Song Dynasty doesn't change, the Han people will perish, and there will be no China anymore.

Along the way, he thoughtfully came to the Li main gate of the imperial city, and found that the Li main gate was completely different from before.

Zheng Fa led the troops and could not enter within a hundred steps of the imperial city, so he could only wait for them from a distance.

When Yu Tianxi and Zhao Yurui approached, Zhao Yurui saw that the door was already full of armored soldiers of the Imperial City Division.

The official standard for imperial officials is 1.8 meters, and Zhao Yurui hadn't seen many of them before.

Looking at it today, there are several big men with a height of 1.8 meters.

When the poker room opened, almost everyone in Huangcheng Division went to play. Zhao Yurui also went there when he had nothing to do, mainly because he was familiar with the heads, but now it seems that many people are unfamiliar.

Qian Bin was recruited by someone who didn't like to play billiards, or his hard-core confidant.

"Stop." The guard was the commander, reaching out to stop them, while holding one hand on the handle of the knife.

"The comer stops."

Yu Tianxi strode forward: "Commander Lu, Your Majesty summoned the King of Wei. When he just left the palace, he had already reported to Nei Dongmen Division—"

In the past, Zhao and Rui could enter and leave the imperial city at any time, but this meeting is obviously no longer possible.

After Yu Tianxi finished speaking, he handed over a butterfly card. After the commander surnamed Lu took it, he said something behind his back. After a while, an eunuch came out from the inside.

Dong Songchen is a member of Murongying, one of the four officials in the inner east gate.

In the past, although the operatives were also responsible for the entry and exit of the palace and inspections, they usually meant that the ones on duty at most would come and go around every day, and the main responsibility was still handed over to the Imperial City Secretary. Recently, Qian Bin and Murongying joined forces and strictly followed the rules. There are people from the inner east gate at Lizhengmen 24 hours a day.

Dong Songchen and Yu Tianxi checked the record of the butterfly card and confirmed that the emperor had summoned Zhao and Rui just now, so they let Zhao and Rui in.

Zhao Yurui didn't know why, but when he saw the palace gate being so happy, he suddenly panicked, he quickly cheered himself up, there didn't seem to be any incidents of hacking people to death in the palace in the history of Song Dynasty, don't panic, don't panic, everything is up to the old man History is under control.

At the same time, he looked up at Yu Tianxi, Yu Tianxi was also hinting to him not to be afraid, the emperor is not dead yet.

Damn, Zhao Yurui was cursing in her heart, after thinking about it, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow Yu Tianxi to the palace.

After entering the palace gate, I saw that there were also many people inside, at least [-] imperial city officials, most of them were unfamiliar faces, some of them may have been to Café de Coral, but most of them dare not say hello to Zhao Yurui recently.

"King Wei, please come with me." At this time, Dong Songchen smiled obsequiously and pointed, leading the way.

"How is my uncle recently? Is he feeling better?" Zhao Yurui tried to find something to say.

"Your Majesty was able to get up this morning. After walking a dozen steps, he fell asleep on the bed. He seems to be in good spirits." Dong Songchen said.

This Dong Songchen still talked a lot, and then said: "Originally, I was going to summon the King of Wei early in the morning, but I took a nap on the bed, so it was delayed until now."

"Your Majesty has just woken up and is going to see King Wei. I miss King Wei very much."

Dong Songchen bowed his head, with a flattering expression and a pretty good attitude.

The same person as Murongying, that Zhang Hua was very arrogant and didn't talk to Zhao Yurui very much.

The three of them entered through the Nangong Gate, saw the Daqing Hall first, then walked around on the right side of the Daqing Hall, walked along the avenue through the wall courtyard between the Compassionate Ning Palace and the Daqing Hall, and went to the Funing Hall.

Zhao and Rui have also been here several times and know that there are two ways.

One is to avoid the harem and go to the left, and the other is to pass the Ciming Hall in the backyard and go to the right.

Logically speaking, Zhao Yurui should go to the left, and Dong Songchen also took him to the left.

But as he was walking, when he saw the wall courtyard, he saw a figure suddenly appearing beside the wall courtyard.

Both sides were startled when he suddenly saw each other.

"Zhang Duzhi." Dong Songchen touched his chest, took a deep breath, and showed a fawning look on his face.

Zhang Hua was panting, his forehead was covered with sweat, as if he had run all the way here.

After taking several deep breaths in a row, he immediately said: "Go to the East Palace and ask His Highness to come over. Your Majesty wants to meet King Wei and His Highness at the same time."

"No." Dong Songchen didn't hesitate, he answered, turned around and left.

"I also ask Yu Sheren to work hard again, Your Majesty summoned the prime minister."

Yu Tianxi was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "It's more important to restore the order first, I'll go back later."

Zhang Hua didn't say anything, and turned to Zhao Yurui.

"King Wei, please come with me." Zhang Hua turned around and walked into the road on the right.

Zhao Yurui suddenly became alert.

"Everyone knows Zhang, isn't this passing through the harem?" Zhao Yurui followed slowly, talking to Zhang Hua while looking at Zhang Hua.

Zhang Hua's face remained unchanged, and he said in a low voice: "This side is closer, and there are many trees on both sides, so it's cooler."

"Zhang Du's head is full of sweat, did he run all the way here?"

"No, no—it's hotter." Zhang Hua's expression was a little different, and he turned his head and smiled at Zhao Yurui after speaking: "Wei Wang and Yu Sheren are also sweating profusely."

Yu Tianxi looked indifferent, he should trust Shi Miyuan a lot.

Zhao Yurui was about to say something more, when suddenly, a figure suddenly appeared not far away, running towards this side quickly.

When the three of them looked up, their faces changed slightly, and Zhang Hua's expression was even more incredible.

The person who came was Hu Song, a senior eunuch of the Neidong Division.

Hu Song didn't know what happened, and was running like crazy, when he suddenly looked up and saw Zhao Yurui, he was surprised and happy, he waved his hands and shouted, "King Wei, run quickly."

Hiss, Zhao and Rui were far away at first, and didn't hear his name, but seeing Hu Song's expression and waving hands, he felt that something was wrong.

Before he could react, seven or eight figures appeared farther behind Hu Song, not only eunuchs, but also armored sergeants. Zhao Yurui had good eyesight, and he could see that the servant Huang Shang was also inside. Everyone seemed to be chasing Hu Song.

At this time, he saw Zhang Hua from the corner of his eye, and saw Zhang Hua's face flushed instantly, and his eyes began to wander.

Damn, something is wrong.

Zhao Yurui turned pale with fright, turned around and wanted to run away.

Unexpectedly, a strong force surged up from behind, Zhang Hua hugged Zhao Yurui from behind, and shouted into the distance: "Hurry up, I'm hugging him, I'm hugging him."

"You eunuch dog." Zhao Yurui was caught off guard and almost fell to the ground in his arms.

But after he arrived in the Southern Song Dynasty, he kept training, and his physical fitness far surpassed that of ordinary people.

He didn't even think about it, and raised his arm fiercely.

Kacha put an elbow on Zhang Hua's nose.

Ah, there was a sound of breaking Zhang Hua's nose, he let go of his hand with a scream, and fell to the ground with a thump, his face was covered in blood.

Zhao Yurui wanted to run again, but Zhang Hua hugged his left leg again.

"Fuck you, grass, grass." Zhao Yurui panicked and kicked him desperately with his right foot, but Zhang Hua hugged him tightly.

Only then did Yu Tianxi realize it, and hurried forward to help pull it.

"Catch the traitor Zhao Yurui, he assassinated His Majesty." Someone in front drew his sword and roared.

Zhao Yurui looked up in horror, and saw four eunuchs and four sergeants chasing Hu Song. Hu Song still had ropes on his body, as if he broke free and ran over.

The four sergeants are fully armed and wear infantry armor.

But on such a hot day, he could barely run around in the infantry armor, barely following behind the eunuch.

The leader probably knew that his armor was too heavy, so he took it off as he ran, and yelled at Zhao Yurui: "Grab him, he'll be promoted to three ranks, hurry up, take off the armor, take off the armor."

Several eunuchs were excited when they heard that they had been promoted to three ranks, and ran forward desperately.

But Hu Song ran faster in front, and in a blink of an eye he was in front of Zhao Yurui, who was still entangled with Zhang Hua.

Hu Song looked at the scene with his face flushed, and without saying a word, he suddenly fell down and lowered his head, and bit Zhang Hua's hand hard.

"Ah." Zhang Hua screamed again, and let go of the pain.

"King Wei, run quickly." Hu Song got up and ran back with Zhao Yurui.

"What happened?" Zhao Yurui asked while running.

"Your Majesty is dead, Qian Bin wants to kill King Wei." Hu Song cried.

The two ran out for several steps before realizing that Yu Tianxi hadn't followed. Looking back, Zhang Hua was entangled with Yu Tianxi again like a mad dog, and it seemed that he couldn't escape.
