Chapter 678 Choice

At this moment, at the Haohua Gate, which was a little farther away from the battlefield, there were teams of Dinghai officers and men filing in, and began to reiterate the curfew and disperse the people who gathered at random.

When the soldiers entered the city, some people in the city ran out.After all, Zhongdu has suffered many wars, and the common people have become frightened.Although today's situation doesn't look like it's going to get out of control, it's okay to go out of the city and avoid it.

For these common people, Dinghai officers and soldiers are not strict, as long as they do not affect the movement of soldiers and horses entering the city, let them go.

Among the thousands of people, a few people deliberately dressed in rags, mixed in with the large number of poor people, and wore cloaks and hoods so that they could not see their faces clearly.After they left the city, they immediately separated from the crowd, and without lighting pine torches or avoiding muddy ravines, they walked quickly to the depths of a remote wilderness several miles away from the city.

At this time, it was the end of the midnight, and it was the middle of the night, the city had been left behind, and the surrounding area was quiet.Under the dark night, suddenly chirping birds sounded.

Those people stopped suddenly, leaned over to make a concealed posture, only one person in front of the queue threw off his tattered clothes and stood upright: "Liang Zuo, it's me!"

The grass and trees in the field swayed, and a group of powerful knights emerged from the shadows. The leading monk Wanyan Chen separated the bushes and weeds with both hands, and strode up to the man: "Brother really escaped!"

Monk Wanyan Chen laughed and hugged his elder brother Wanyan Xilie, the two brothers thumped each other's backs with a bang.

"Brother, the Dinghai Navy is very strict in the surrounding military camps. I haven't been able to collect many horses. There must be a steady stream of follow-up troops. We have to set off quickly and find a way to get some more horses on the way."

"well."

Monk Wanyan Chen said again: "I don't know if His Majesty can ride a horse for a long-distance gallop. If not, I'll have someone prepare a soft bag..."

Wanyan shook her head obliquely: "No need."

"Why don't you need it?" Monk Wanyan Chen was taken aback, frowned and said: "Your Majesty doesn't need a soft bag, can you hold it? This time we are going to rush all the way to Kaifeng Mansion in Nanjing!"

"I mean, His Majesty is not coming with us."

"Do we have other arrangements?" Monk Wanyanchen looked around.

Wanyan grinned obliquely, and said helplessly, "There are no other arrangements. Liang Zuo, Your Majesty has not left the city."

"what?"

Monk Wanyan Chen finally came to his senses, and he shouted in shock: "Brother, are you kidding me! Bossan Boss took his life to create an opportunity for His Majesty! How can we leave His Majesty behind?" In the city? This, this..."

He was so anxious that he clenched his fists and sweated on his forehead: "After this incident, Guo Ning will definitely suppress our Jurchens in the city, and maybe kill people with a butcher's knife high. How dangerous is it for His Majesty to stay in the city? Besides, didn't you say that Are you ready? Master Pu San has attracted Guo Ning’s attention, let’s take someone to protect His Majesty to go to Kaifeng Mansion in Nanjing, meet King Sui, and rebuild the Dajin court..."

"Haha."

Wanyan Xilie only chuckled twice.

"Brother, what are you laughing at?"

"Do you really think that King Sui needs the emperor to come forward to rebuild the Dajin court? Do you really think that King Sui is happy to see the emperor appear in Kaifeng Mansion in Nanjing?"

Wanyan pointed to dozens of people behind him, and introduced them to Monk Wanyan Chen one by one:

"This is General Wanyan Saibu, who was inspected by the left deputy in front of the hall. This is General Chizhan Hexi, who was charged by the army horse. This is Yilapu Adutong. This is the same as us, who ran back from the grassland. Pucha Guannu, oh yes, and this one is Pusan ​​Natanchu, the eldest son of Lord Pusan. According to the arrangement of King Sui, we are enough for those who go to Kaifeng Mansion in Nanjing! We These people are the ones who can assist the Promising Lord to rebuild the Dajin court! As for the emperor...

Wanyan stared obliquely at her hot-blooded and reckless younger brother, took a step forward, and asked forcefully, "At the beginning of the year, the Mongols invaded the central capital, and we surrounded the emperor and fled... You could also see how the emperor behaved at that time. Do you really think that the emperor's talent and tolerance can accomplish anything? If he really goes to Kaifeng Mansion, will it be a bad thing instead?"

"Yes, but..." Monk Wanyan Chen trembled all over: "That is the emperor of our Great Jin Kingdom!"

"The Kingdom of Jin has no shortage of emperors! What is lacking is an emperor who can turn the tide! The one who is in Kaifeng now is the one!"

Wanyan Xialie drank in a deep voice, and beckoned to the knights behind the woodland, asking them to bring their horses over, then got on the horses, whipped and left.

When Wanyan Xilie and his brothers were fighting each other, Yisha Chucai stood in front of the main hall of his mansion, a little dazed.

In the current situation, Chucai estimated that three points were driven by Pu Sanduan, three points were fueled by Zhang Xingjian and other old foxes, and three points were due to the intentional connivance of Guo Ning and Xu Yu.

Each of these three parties has its own purpose, there are places where mistakes come in and out, and there are also places where they are intertwined with each other, and there is no need to deny it.Yicha Chucai was excluded from the very beginning, obviously because Guo Ning didn't want the future Chancellor to be involved too deeply in this muddy water.As for fighting and fighting, Guo Ning will never suffer, and he doesn't need to move Chu Cai to worry about anything.

But Yira Chucai was on the outside, and still habitually thought more.So after thinking about it, I found that there was still a doubt in it.The question is, why did Pu Sanduan work so hard?
Pu Sanduan can also be regarded as a figure who has stood firm among the Jurchen warriors for decades. When Emperor Zhangzong passed away, King Wei Shao brazenly seized the throne. It can be seen that this person is not a person with outstanding integrity.He suddenly acted so violently, what was he planning?The situation is so chaotic tonight, where is the key?
Yicha Chucai thought over and over again, but couldn't understand it.

The family he belongs to is a well-known Khitan family, because Yila Chucai has a very high status in the Ding Navy, and many side branches of the family in Zhongdu have defected to him recently, so the mansion is very prosperous.At this time, seeing Yila Chucai standing still in front of the hall, many relatives and clan guards came out and watched him worriedly from the corridor.

Several loyal guards held shields in their hands, listening to the commotion outside, and were ready to rush outside at any time to block the arrows for their master, but they didn't dare to speak out to persuade Chucai to go back to the room to hide.

Fortunately, Yila Chucai's elder brother, Yila Bicai, heard the news and came from another courtyard through the transfer of ownership.He is talented in both civil and military affairs, and is now temporarily in the position of prosecuting and prosecuting in the Marshal's Mansion, and is one of the staff members in the formation of the new army.

"Jin Qing, what's the matter with you?" Yi Ra Biancai strode up to Yi Ra Chucai, and patted him on the shoulder vigorously.

And Chu Cai suddenly jumped up.

"Are you all right!" This startled movement scared Yi Sabengcai quite a bit.

"It's the emperor! I figured it out, it's the emperor!" Yila Chucai shouted.

He yanked off the long-sleeved robe, pointed to the stack of Jue beside him and shouted repeatedly: "Let the horses quickly! You guys muster your men and go out with me!"

In the past few months, who has seen the always prudent Yicai Chucai become so anxious?What's more, he runs the family very strictly, with very strict rules, and he will act aggressively as soon as he gives an order.

In an instant a group of horses came and moved Chucai onto the horses, shouting again: "Open the door! Open the door!"

As soon as the door of the mansion was opened, the noise of people from outside poured in like a tide, and Yiba Chucai took the lead, beating those who dared to block the road with whips, and rushed onto the road.

Afterwards, Jue followed him for dozens of steps, and couldn't help reminding: "Master just said, it's about the emperor? The palace is to the north, and we should turn right on Danfengmen Street."

"The emperor is no longer in the palace! Come with me!"

Yicha Chucai yelled, and galloped south along Danfengmen Street.To the south is Fengyi Gate, which is where many military fortresses that Guo Ning regards as the Marshal's Mansion are concentrated.

These days, the emperor is a figure who has almost no sense of presence in the capital city.As the Ding Navy moved in with strong force, the emperor's original method of mobilizing the Servant Bureau to monitor the officials was like a joke, and there was no room for it to be used at all.

What's more, the appeal of the emperor himself hardly existed when the situation in the Dajin Kingdom was turned upside down.Ding Haijun does not need this pretense, and King Sui of Nanjing does not need this father to get in the way. There is no need for so many Jurchen nobles in Zhongdu to get involved with the emperor, because even if they are involved, the emperor will not be able to bring them a soldier. pawn.

So most of the time, the emperor is just a prisoner in the palace.

Even if there was another commotion in the city tonight, Guo Ning and everyone in Dinghai didn't take the emperor seriously.The officers and men of the Ding Navy who were in charge of guarding the surrounding area of ​​the palace only increased their vigilance as usual.But in fact, the emperor is the real target of this incident, and also an important target who will be thrown into chaos!
A living emperor seemed worthless.Because King Sui didn't need this hot potato to get in the way anyway, so he had to stay in Zhongdu.The result of his stay in the central capital was that King Sui was cautious and restrained, while Guo Ning, a full-fledged rebel, became the marshal of the capital and began to rob the power of the Dajin Kingdom in a grandiose manner.

So, is a dead emperor worth anything?

In other words, what would happen when the emperor of the Dajin Kingdom died at the hands of Ding Haijun?
Yicha Chucai didn't dare to think about it for a while.Although he is a Khitan, he is also a courtier who has served Dajin for three generations. The environment he grew up in and the education he received all prompted him to try his best to maintain the delicate situation between Dinghai and the Dajin court, trying not to tear the last bit of skin, Over time, slowly use water to grind the kung fu, creating the result of Tang Yu abdicating and leading guests to virtue.

But if something happens to the emperor, Ding Haijun will have to use extremely drastic means to seize power and subdue the entire imperial court in one breath.However, the Jurchen allies in the Northeast, and even the Xuanfu envoys with ambiguous attitudes in Xijing Road, Hedong Road and other places were all forced to make a choice between friends and enemies.

As for King Sui who was on Nanjing Road, he was instantly relieved.

Yicha Chucai thought with his toes, and he could arrange one, two, three, four ways for King Sui to go.The most effective thing is to immediately fall to the Southern Song Dynasty, even at the expense of proclaiming a minister and asking for help, and then ascend to the throne under the banner of avenging the emperor, engulfing half of the Dajin Kingdom and the Ding Navy forever!

This situation is completely different from Yila Chucai's prediction, and there are too many variables in it.It's not necessary!This should not happen!
But that's how Pu Sanduan arranged it!
Pu Sanduan's plan was to let the emperor die in the Marshal's Mansion in full view.Once the emperor died, the originally chaotic and delicate situation disappeared in an instant, and the dead chess game of the Dajin Kingdom had room to move again!
This old dog is planning to use this ruthless hand to show his favor to King Sui, right?He is really ruthless... Presumably his son, Pusan ​​Natan, escaped from the city and went straight to Kaifeng Mansion in Nanjing!

Yi stab Chucai repeatedly whipped the horse.

But no matter how handsome the steed under his crotch is, it will never be able to catch up.

Holding a spear in his hand, Pu Sanduan rushed to the front of the Marshal's Mansion surrounded by his personal guards, and then began to climb the ladder.Seeing this situation, all the Jurchens shouted hello, praising this veteran general in his seventies and eighties for being so vigorous.No less than two or three hundred people clamored and rushed forward on the ladders on the left and right sides to cover Pu Sanduan.

At this time, inside and outside the marshal, naturally pine torches were held high and the lights were brightly lit.Therefore, the soldiers and civilians of Zhongdu, who were watching the battle from far and near, also saw behind him a man in a black robe, who was being pushed up by others, and followed closely behind Pu Sanduan.

After climbing a few steps on the ladder, the black robe was in the way, and he stumbled repeatedly, and others simply tore the black robe away.

This time, the man's light yellow robe and the black rhinoceros belt around his waist were revealed.

The man was thin and thin, and under the restraint of the people around him, he writhed desperately and shouted repeatedly: "Let me go! I want to go back to the palace! What do you want to do? Do you want to kill the king?"

The others had been prepared for a long time, and immediately shouted in unison, overwhelming the weak voice of the man who was out of breath.They shouted: "Your Majesty is going to battle in person! Your Majesty is here in person, and Guo Ning must be killed today!"

After shouting these few slogans, countless people around the Marshal's Mansion fell silent for an instant.

Is this man the emperor of Dajin?

Is this man really the emperor of Dajin?
The emperor actually went out in person and fought desperately with that Marshal Guo?

Countless people looked up at the same time, even Dong Jin, who was guarding the high wall of the Marshal's Mansion, couldn't help stretching his head out to have a look.Dong Jin had really seen the emperor before, and immediately shrank his head back and said in surprise, "This Jurchen emperor is actually very brave!"

　Somehow I remembered it wrong, I thought that Pusannatan was the second son of Pusantuan, so there was a loophole in the previous text... It has been corrected now.
