The news of the emperor's death began to spread in Quanzhou. In addition to the fast horse report, there were also flying pigeons passing letters. For a moment, from the court to the people, they couldn't help but become nervous.

This tense atmosphere spread everywhere, and there was not much grief in the whole country, but there was a little nervousness.

At this time, I can't understand it anymore and I'm just a fool. The weekly magazine was making a big noise and almost jumped onto the table to curse the prince's incompetence. These remarks were made in a grand manner, and the prince's various attitudes were also a gesture of not stopping with the auxiliary government. Everyone knew that the Song Dynasty was afraid that it would be a mess.

The problem now is how to make a fuss and what it is like? Is it a simple power struggle? Or is it just a storm to send troops to split the country? The former is better, but if it were the latter, I would be afraid that the Song Dynasty, which had been pacified for a hundred years, would have to suffer a disaster.

At present, there are 700,000 troops loyal to the auxiliary king, of which at least 500,000 can fight. It is common for the prince to ascend the throne and mobilize millions of troops with one order. Although there are many fish on the prince's side, especially the wing army with low combat power, 70% of them are occupied. After all, they occupy the righteousness and destiny.

If the war really starts, the entire Song Dynasty was in war. The army of Quanzhou, Xixia and Khitan advances in the inland, or the army of the imperial court goes north and south. Except for Jiaozhou, Qiongzhou, and Shu, almost any road prefecture cannot be spared.

The Xixia and Khitan areas have already sharpened their knives, all of which look like they are trying their best. Quanzhou and Suhang are also clamoring, and many of the merchants even boldly say that they want to raise military funds and reward the king of the regent. Merchants are not aggressive, but once they are involved in profits, they can immediately become extremely warlike, and they are eager to momote the fish in this muddy water.

Now everyone is waiting, waiting for the actions of the auxiliary king, and the eyes of the world are staring at Quanzhou, as if prisoners on the execution ground are waiting for the verdict.

In the past, the Jurchens wanted to go south and the Xixia people wanted to fight. Everyone could also flee south with their wives and children. But now, there is almost no place to escape, and the fate of the people in the world is maintained by the thought of the auxiliary king.

Fight or to...

Three days later, another news came out, which made everyone feel relieved. The Auxiliary King supported His Majesty's coffin and led the three thousand guards and the princes to set off, heading north all the way to the capital.

While everyone was relaxed, countless people felt the actions of the auxiliary king. The auxiliary king Mi pacified the Jurchens. The Khitans feared him like a tiger, and had great military achievements and held elite soldiers in the world. If they really wanted to force the palace with their weapons, they would have at least 80% of the chance of victory. But at this time, he would rather take three thousand guards alone to support His Majesty's coffin into the capital than to launch a rebellion. It can be seen that this person is indeed a loyal minister.

At the same time, the weekly magazine made a lot of noise. Although it did not speak out in a blunt manner, it spread Shen Ao's thoughts to the world. His Highness was sure to win, but it was only for the Song Dynasty and the thousands of people that he refused to launch this war. Even though he knew that there was a lot of danger in going to Bianjing, he still had to support the coffin of the late emperor and bury the late emperor to show his loyalty to protect him during his lifetime.

This trip to Bianjing has added a lot of wind and cold to people. The tragic color of the heroes who have gone away will never return. The four words "Loyalty to the emperor and love the people" have become the shining sign of Shen Lengzi. For a moment, many scholars stopped the road to Quanzhou and persuaded Shen Ao not to enter Beijing. Many merchants brought food to reward him along the way. Wherever they passed along the way, many people saw the emperor's spiritual carriage from afar, knelt beside the road, shouting for thousands of years.

Every time I pass by a city, there are thousands of people everywhere, and officials, gentry, and merchants come to visit each other, making it very lively.

However, Chen Ao lived in seclusion and did not summon local gentry officials wherever he passed. He just said that His Majesty had lost his heart and felt sad and did not want to see anyone.

His behavior is understandable. Everyone does not feel arrogant, but instead feels that the regent is unparalleled and righteous, so he has a greater prestige.

The prince's side has increased and decreased. People all over the world sympathized with the regent because the regent risked his life to calm the upcoming war. While sympathizing with the regent, naturally there were more and more complaints about the regent. Before, it was just a weekly clamor, but later, the world was full of lamenting that the prince was unbearable to be the country. Some people even said the words of great rebellion.

Unconsciously, people's hearts began to lean towards Chen Ao.

Xihe...

Although it was summer, the weather here was still cold. The fortress of Xihe, the military town, is now basically abandoned, and there is no tension in the border troops guarding. The Xixia people who have been guarding for decades no longer need to be wary. The Xixia people suddenly became their own people, which is always a bit unbelievable.

However, the atmosphere today is different. A group of strong horses entered Tong Guan's mansion. In the lobby of the mansion, many generals and servants were already talking and frightened.

Tong Guan sat in the upper head, his whole body remained motionless, looking at the urgent revelations, silently silent.

Xixia horses appeared on Xilinpo, with more than 80,000 people. A large number of Xixia cavalrymen appeared at the foot of Hengshan Mountain east of Xihe. They set up camps and did not inform the border troops, and the number was at least 100,000. The Song army scout went to negotiate, and the other party's attitude was also cold, and he just threw a sentence: "If the Regent is unexpected, the 300,000 troops of Xixia will enter Bianjing, and no chickens and dogs will be left behind."

In fact, it is not just three sides, but also close to the Khitan side, but also hundreds of thousands of soldiers. The Khitan navy sharpened his swords. As long as bad news comes out, he has made plans to move south.

After a few days of peace, it suddenly became scattered again. The generals on these three sides have always followed Tong Guan's head, but Tong Guan still doesn't say a word, which makes everyone confused.

Finally someone couldn't help but stand up and said, "God Tong, the people of Xixia are posing in this posture. If we don't move, wouldn't we show weakness? Should we mobilize the army and horses from the border town to gather around Xihe to shock the people of Xixia."

Some people also objected: "The people of Xixia are concerned about the safety of the Auxiliary King. If we mobilize our troops and horses to act in a hostile posture, wouldn't we tell the Auxiliary King that we are enemies of him? This matter must not be done."

"But if you ignore it, the prince is about to ascend the throne. How will he explain it in the future?"

"Tong Hu is also in the martial arts school. In the prince's heart, Tong Xianggong has long been the assistant to the governor. Even if he explains to the prince, can Tong Xianggong still survive?"

"Your Majesty has a will. The prince ascended the throne. Commander Zhao, are you going to rebel?"

Commander Zhao sneered and said, "We are all the trusted men of Mr. Tong. Mr. Tong is about to finish. Do you really deserve good fruit? After finding an excuse, it is light to dismiss you. You may not be able to make a crime. You will be punished sooner or later. Mr. Zhao doesn't know anything else, but only knows that the Xixia army is the military and horse of the King of the Governor, and the King of the Governor is also a nobleman. If we have a relationship with our Mr. Tong, we will stand on the side of the King of the Governor. What? What does General Liu Shen mean? Don't forget that Mr. Tong promoted you with one hand. When your father died in Xilinpo, Mr. Tong raised you into an adult and asked to teach you martial arts, so that you can have your day."

The general named Liu was speechless and said, "I don't mean that, I just said..."

"Okay, stop fighting..." Tong Guan smiled faintly, looked at the commander named Zhao with a smile and said, "Zhenghe, you should say less of your words. The Zajia knows that Liu Cheng's adventurous is; he is a very kind child and is usually very filial. If you say this, it is like he is going to sell the Zajia's adoptive father for honor."

Tong Guan's understatement made everyone laugh, and the general and the commander laughed embarrassedly, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became relaxed.

Tong Guan sighed and said lightly: "Actually, the Zajia was thinking about what the Zajia should do now? The prince had already had a feud with the Zajia, but he was afraid that once he ascended the throne and took down the Auxiliary King, he would have to deal with the Zajia. But on the other hand, the prince is the prince, the future emperor, and the Zajia has great courage. Can he fight against him?"

Tong Guan said slowly at first, and then his tone became strong: "The family has lived at such a long time and has not been able to survive for a few years. The family is not afraid of the prince to settle the score in the future. To put it bluntly, what are the storms that the family has never seen before? They are just apologizing for death. What are you afraid of?"

Everyone was silent for a while.

Tong Guan continued, "But the one who is really worried about the Zajia is you. Some of you are adopted sons of the Zajia family, and some of you are old brothers who have followed the Zajia family for more than ten years. To put it bluntly, we are all in these three sides and in Xihe. The Zajia knows this in his heart, and the prince will not know about it. If the prince ascends the throne in the future, will he still let the Zajia and you continue to lead troops? I am afraid that I dream of making a crime for the Zajia and you. The Zajia only has one nephew. What about you? They are all old and young. The wealth that has finally won by swords and guns will disappear. I am afraid that the prince will kill the roots, and there will be worries about life."

When Tong Guan said this, he refused to say anything else. He slowly picked up the teacup on the table and lowered his head to blow the tea foam.

All that should be said, Tong Guan's words are absolutely straightforward. The people in this hall are angry, involving their wealth and destiny. Qiu Ba is different from scholars. Scholars always have to cover up and have loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness. However, Qiu Ba dares to say anything and do anything. Killing people is their career, who is afraid of whom!

"The adoptive father is right. If the prince wants to eliminate us, do we really want to surrender? In my opinion, the regent is also a nobleman, and he also has inquiries about military and political power. We are determined to follow the regent, which is ten times better than the foolish prince..."

"We are the border army and the Xixia people to pass a message to Bianjing. Whoever dares to be unfavorable to the auxiliary king, the border army will go to Bianjing and seek justice from the prince."

"We are only loyal to the late emperor. As for this prince, hehe, in my opinion, he is not a wise emperor. The third prince is wise, so he has supported the third prince as the emperor and the auxiliary prince as the governor as the governor."

...

This clamor was really terrifying, I was afraid that all the disobedient words in the world would be spoken by these people.

Tong Guan still smiled and didn't speak, making everyone in his head curse, and then coughed and drank some of the cooled tea, and said, "Okay, there is no need to say this. No matter what, we are still the Song army, and the emperor is loyal to us. If these words are heard, I don't know, we will think that our border army is planning to rebel. Now the Auxiliary King has helped His Majesty's coffin to the capital, and the Auxiliary House cannot be idle. Come and ask someone to prepare the car. The Auxiliary House will set off to Beijing tomorrow. As for the three sides, everyone should keep calm. It would be fine if the prince does not make things difficult for the Auxiliary King. If you really have to act seriously, you don't have to be polite."

"Abide by the order!"

Everyone responded to the order, and several military generals said, "If the prince goes to Bianjing, if the prince is going to be unfavorable to the prince, I'm afraid..."

Tong Guan sneered and said contemptuously: "The Zajia went there to tell the prince that the border army was wearing the same kuozi as the Auxiliary King. If the prince really had the courage, he would call the Auxiliary King and the Auxiliary King to see if anyone lost a hair, there would be wars everywhere in the world immediately. Let's see who will clean up the mess for him..."
