Chapter 373: The Fox Borrows the Power of the Tiger

Prince Fu's Mansion.

Zhao and Rui were the half-brothers of Lizong of Song Dynasty. They adopted their children to Lizong of Song Dynasty, who later became Duzong of Song Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhao Yurui had a high status in the Southern Song Dynasty clan.

It is said that this man hated Jia Sidao, and after the Battle of Dingjiazhou, he ordered people to hammer him to death on the road to distribution.

However, recently, the number of visitors to Prince Fu's Mansion has been very low, which is far different from the large number of visitors in the past.

the reason is simple.

That is, the ministers of the court no longer want to have anything to do with the Southern Song Dynasty royal family.

When they learned that the king of Tang was about to arrive in Lin'an, Zhao Yurui, the king of fortune, thanked the guests behind closed doors and used wine to anesthetize himself all day long.

However, today, there are distinguished guests at Prince Fu's residence.

Zhao Yurui is now almost forty years old.

King Fu, who was originally scheduled for history, was considered a long-lived man. Even after the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, he lived in Dadu in the Yuan Dynasty for twelve years before he died of illness.

Zhao Yurui looked at the Jin Yiwei in Feiyu uniform and Li Chenyan who was acting as a lobbyist in surprise and uncertainty.

"Are you under the command of King Tang?" Zhao Yurui asked Shen Lian tentatively.

Shen Lian nodded and looked at the luxuriously decorated Prince Fu's Mansion with great interest.

As for Li Chenyan, he laughed dryly and added: "His Royal Highness Prince Fu, I heard that there was a rebellion by the imperial guards in the palace. As a nobleman of the clan, can't you just sit back and watch?"

"Um?"

Zhao Yurui was startled and looked at Li Chenyan suspiciously, feeling a little confused.

Listening to the other party's words, it seems that he intends to put down the rebellion?

But he is just an idle prince? !

Zhao Yurui shook his head and told the truth:

"General, Xiao Wang has no ability to mobilize soldiers..."

"No."

Li Chenyan looked at the servants in Prince Fu's Mansion and pointedly said, "There are still hundreds of young and strong guests in Prince Fu's Mansion."

Yes.

Li Chenyan's strategy for Shen Lian was to summon the servants of wealthy families.

These large families may have dozens of servants at least, or hundreds of servants at most.

This Prince Fu has three to four hundred young and strong disciples.

Gathering these people together is already a powerful force.

When King Fu heard this, he immediately reacted.

Well, what is this?

Seeing King Fu's hesitation, Li Chenyan once again advised:

"Prince Fu, if Lin'an falls into chaos before King Tang's army arrives, I'm afraid it will bring disgrace to the court."

Zhao Yurui's cheeks twitched when he heard Li Chenyan's shameless words.

The Southern Song Dynasty was about to surrender, so how could there be any dignity left?

Zhao Yurui glanced at Shen Lian, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and said: "In that case, Xiao Wang will go and summon the disciples."

At this point, he had no room to refuse.

Soon, King Fu summoned all the guests from the mansion and handed them over to Shen Lian's command.

Immediately afterwards,

Li Chenyan went to visit other ministers' houses again.

With King Fu's precedent, Shen Lian quickly gathered a total of four thousand people!

Just when Shen Lian led his four thousand guests to arrive in front of the Lin'an Palace, he discovered that one person had been waiting for a long time.

Shen Lian glanced at this skinny old man with a nose instead of eyes, and asked Li Chenyan:

"Who is this person?"

Zhang Shijie's expression was wonderful when he heard this.

The rebels in the Southern Song Dynasty actually wanted a rebellious minister to quell the rebellion!

certainly.

No matter how angry Zhang Shijie was, he could only hold it in at this moment.

After all, if the rebels in the palace injure His Majesty, he will be blamed for his death!

"Open the palace door. I am the commander of all four chambers, Zhang Shijie!" The little old man rode up to the palace and called the door.

But don't want to.

The city gate was not opened, and a sparse rain of arrows was shot out first.

When Shen Lian saw this, he immediately stepped forward, keeping the little old man to dodge back.

Zhang Shijie didn't expect that these rebels would dare to shoot arrows at him, and he became more and more angry.

Shen Lian looked at the posture and realized that he had to take action on his own.

There were only about a hundred figures on the wall.

A whistle sounded.

I saw the royal guards in flying fish uniforms rushing towards the palace gate like arrows from the string, and at the same time they threw out the hooks in their hands and fastened it firmly to the wall.

Then, these dozen figures were as agile as apes and climbed up the wall in the blink of an eye.

Hear another burst of fighting.

The dozen or so guards in royal robes opened the palace door as if nothing had happened.

Shen Lian did not look at Zhang Shijie's ugly face and just led everyone into the palace.

can only say.

After the rebellion, these imperial guards became like wild beasts.

Along the way, you can see hacked eunuchs and disheveled palace ladies everywhere.

When Shen Lian saw this, he frowned slightly and hoped that nothing would happen to the Emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty.

As for these so-called imperial guards, they are nominally the elite guards of the palace.

In fact, he is so pampered that even the shiny armor on his body is a model.

What's more, the outside of the cardboard is simply coated with a layer of iron paint.

These rebels obviously did not expect that someone would lead an army into the palace at this time, and were killed by surprise.

There were less than 3,000 imperial guardsmen and they encountered Shen Lian and his party.

Then an ugly fight broke out.

On one side are the servants, and on the other side are the imperial soldiers with silver spears and wax heads.

After Shen Lian took the lead and killed two figures who looked like generals, the rebels collapsed immediately.

"Zhang Shaobao!"

When Xie Daoqing saw Zhang Shijie hurriedly arrived, he breathed a sigh of relief.

She and several palace attendants took Song Gongzong to hide in a side hall, and they were not affected by the war.

"Your Majesty, I am late to save you!"

Zhang Shijie knelt down respectfully and kowtowed, not forgetting to ask for forgiveness.

Xie Daoqing shook his head and said helplessly: "Zhang Shaobao, what crime have you committed in the current situation?"

Zhang Shijie felt a burning sensation on his face when he heard the Empress Dowager say this.

In his opinion, the decline of the Southern Song Dynasty court was closely related to the civil and military officials in the court.

Immediately, Zhang Shijie persuaded Xie Daoqing to take the emperor away from Lin'an, and there might be a time for a comeback.

However, Xie Daoqing looked at the little emperor who fainted in his arms due to excessive fright, and did not answer Zhang Shijie.

Just like the original history.

Xie Daoqing finally chose to surrender to Mongolia with Song Gongzong instead of leaving Lin'an.

In addition.

Since the Tang King went south, his actions have also been heard by the residents under the rule of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Compared with the Mongolian Tartars, the other party is a Han family.

Xie Daoqing felt that surrendering to the other party would definitely save the lives of the royal family.

Zhang Shijie saw what the Empress Dowager was thinking, so he said nothing more and prepared to leave the palace immediately.

Since the emperor's life was safe, he also planned to leave Lin'an immediately.

He had discussed his future plans with his good friend Wen Tianxiang before.

That is to establish another descendant of the Zhao family as emperor, occupy the six southwestern prefectures, and continue the Song Dynasty.

However.

Just as Zhang Shijie left the palace, returned to Zhang's house to pack up his things, and quietly left Lin'an with his servants.

But he was blocked halfway.

Zhang Shijie looked at the group of people in front of him who were dressed in other clothes and looked like martial artists, and his eyes became deep.

"What can I do for you, my friends?" The housekeeper of Zhang's house smiled apologetically.
