After traveling through time, I became Han Zhang’s grandson?
Chapter 182 Asking for help
Just as the entire rebel army was frantically strangling the Imperial Guards and the Sun-Bonding Tianwu Army in the palace, Sheng Minglan, after changing clothes and carefully avoiding the chaos, crawled out from a dog hole.
Afterwards, while hiding from place to place, he met a young palace maid named Ruichu, one of the eunuchs serving the emperor.
When Sheng Minglan heard that the other party had the imperial edict of succession and the military token in his hand, her first thought was the Anyang Marquis' Mansion.
If we talk about who in the entire city of Bianjing can control the troops from all directions to eliminate the rebels, it must be Han Ming.
But the facts were beyond her expectations. Ruichu actually had to go to Yuzhou to ask for help instead of Anyang Marquis Mansion.
This made Sheng Minglan feel a little weird, but there was nothing she could do so she could only take Ruichu out of the palace to hide.
The appearance of the two attracted the attention of the people of Bian Jing and the pursuers, and they began a life-and-death escape.
At the critical moment, Han Ming appeared leisurely from the corner of the street, kicked the two-wheeled cargo cart beside him out, and blocked the pursuers.
"Oops, I'm so sorry, did I slip?"
Han Ming's chuckle brought Sheng Minglan back to her senses, and she kept looking at him.
"What are you looking at? Just follow this road out of the South Gate and you'll reach Yuzhou directly. No need to thank me!"
After saying that, Han Ming put his hands behind his back and took Yong Zeng to a restaurant nearby to have tea.
Sheng Minglan and He Ruichu, with their mouths twitching, drove the carriage away from the spot and headed straight for the South Gate.
"My Lord, there is chaos in the palace right now. Isn't this a good opportunity to rescue the king and quell the rebellion and make meritorious deeds?!" Yong Zeng asked in some surprise.
"Haha, my contributions are already great enough. It's better not to snatch this opportunity from others..."
Han Ming added in his heart, if it weren't for this contribution to save the emperor, how could Gu Erlang make a comeback? He was one of the generals he had chosen for the Northern Expedition.
In short, for the future Northern Expedition, he must unite all the people he can, whether politically, economically or militarily.
Only by uniting all the major forces in the Song Dynasty can we defeat the giant in the north with one punch.
Han Ming took a sip of tea, thinking that Prince Yong was still alive, and the credit for suppressing the rebellion went to Yuzhou and his group.
This way everyone benefits, isn’t it great?
After running out of the city through many hardships, Sheng Minglan and Ruichu met Zhao Zongquan and his group who went to Beijing to file a complaint with the emperor.
Looking at the edict of succession, which confirmed Prince Yong as the crown prince and bestowed the title of Prince Pu on Zhao Zongquan, he immediately led his army to defend the king.
Everyone in Yuzhou was very excited, except Zhao Zongquan who still had some doubts.
After all, he was a fifth-rank militia commander and a member of the royal family's side branch, but in the blink of an eye he was promoted to the first-rank prince. This made Zhao Zongquan a little bit unbelievable.
"Your Highness, no matter what you think or worry about, saving the emperor is the most important thing now!"
Sheng Minglan thought of her father and brothers in the palace and immediately spoke up.
"Miss Sheng is right. Your Highness should quell the rebellion and defend the king!"
Gu Tingye immediately signaled Zhao Ceying with a look and knelt on the ground with his fists clasped.
"Your Highness, please lead the army to quell the rebellion and protect the king!"
"Your Highness, please lead the army to quell the rebellion and protect the king!"
"Your Highness, please lead the army to quell the rebellion and protect the king!"
"..."
The people in Yuzhou were extremely excited. They never expected that while they were out filing a complaint, they would receive such a huge honor.
This made them very excited, especially Zhao Ceying himself. He had always been eager to achieve great things. How could he let go of such a good opportunity?
Zhao Zongquan held the imperial edict of succession and the military token entrusted by Emperor Renzong, and looked at the city of Bianjing in the distance. He couldn't help but feel something called courage slowly emerging.
"Pass on my military orders, quell the rebellion, and defend the king!"
As soon as Zhao Zongquan finished speaking, everyone clasped their fists in agreement.
"Yes, I will follow your Highness's orders!"
. . . . . .
When Prince Yan forced Emperor Renzong to issue an edict and Di Liang led troops to protect Prince Yong, Prince Pu Zhao Zongquan ordered Gu Tingye to lead a large army to trick the gates of Bianjing open, and then led his troops to attack.
Seeing the arrival of the royal support army, the bound Generals Zheng and Zheng Xiao worked together to break free from the ropes and led the imperial guards to attack from inside.
The rebels guarding the palace gate were attacked from both sides and were thrown into panic, and the palace gate was easily broken open.
Seeing this, Gu Tingye, Zhao Ceying and Shen Congxing looked at each other, then waved their weapons and rushed towards the city gate.
"Protect the king and kill the rebellious king!"
"Protect the king and kill the rebellious king!"
"..."
The three of them rushed into the enemy camp excitedly, and after just one encounter they met General Zheng and General Zheng inside.
After a brief contact between the two sides, Zheng Da and Zheng Xiao led their troops to encircle and suppress the rebels near Shunde Palace and rescue King Yong.
Gu Tingye and others rushed straight to the Funing Palace. Seeing this, Prince Yan was filled with anger. He roared and drew his sword to put it against Emperor Renzong's neck.
Empress Cao tried her best to stop the other party, but was pushed and her scalp was broken and bleeding.
Emperor Renzong roared angrily: "You thief, how dare you hurt my queen——!"
"Old thing! I no longer care about being the queen. Since I can't live, then you can die too!"
Prince Yan was about to chop down with his sword when Gu Tingye leaped onto his horse from a distance, took the powerful bow from the horse's back, and drew his bow and drew his arrow.
‘Whoosh——! ’
At the critical moment, an arrow came and pierced through Prince Yan's chest.
Prince Yan's eyes widened as he stared fixedly at a certain direction outside the palace: "I am unwilling to accept this! I am unwilling to accept this!"
He then fell to the ground, gasped a few times, tilted his head and died.
Emperor Renzong also suddenly fell to the ground, looking at the figure on the tall horse in surprise and doubt.
"Gu Erlang..."
. . . . . .
This "Yan Wang Rebellion" brought great shock to the entire Song Dynasty government and the country.
This was a coup d'état that broke out within the ruling class for power struggle, and ultimately the royalist party won.
During the meeting in Funing Hall that night, the future successor of the Song Dynasty and a series of personnel arrangements were formally determined.
Emperor Renzong sat by the bed with a pale face, pointing at the people standing by.
"Very good, you are all very good, and the rescue was timely!"
Looking at Zhao Zongquan, Gu Tingye and others headed by Prince Yong, he couldn't help but smile.
"Thanks to your Majesty's foresight, a disaster was averted."
Prince Yong immediately complimented him with a smile.
"You should remember this person. He is the grandson of the King of Shang and is from the same lineage as Emperor Taizong. I have granted him a title and he will assist you in governing the country."
"At the same time, in front of you, I also confer upon Zhao Zongquan the titles of Minister of the Imperial Clan, Junior Tutor to the Crown Prince, Grand Master of the Imperial Palace, General of the Auxiliary State, and Senior Pillar of the State, and he will also be the Jiedushi of Yuzhou and the Governor of Yuzhou."
This frightened Zhao Zongquan, who had been silent and invisible, and he immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
"Your Majesty, I am so humbled and humbled by your generosity. I hope you will allow me to resign from all my positions and return to Yuzhou to serve as a military commander."
Zhao Zongquan's words made everyone look strange, but Emperor Renzong just waved his hands and smiled, not caring at all.
"Now that the position of Crown Prince has been decided, there is no doubt. As a member of the royal family, you should do your best to protect the new emperor."
"I believe the Crown Prince has no doubts, right?!"
This is to point out to Prince Yong and Zhao Zongquan that the two should be of one mind and one heart, and it is also to discuss the harmlessness of Zhao Zongquan to reassure Prince Yong.
Prince Yong immediately leaned over and helped Zhao Zongquan up, saying with a smile, "You and I are of the same clan. I am slightly older. From now on, you can call me your royal brother without being so polite."
Prince Yong's attitude made Emperor Renzong nod slightly in satisfaction.
Zhao Zongquan already knew that he couldn't hide, so he could only nod his head tremblingly to show his loyalty.
Emperor Renzong then called out Gu Tingye by name, and just like in the original drama, he explained his problem and patted Prince Yong.
"The Gu family is full of loyal and brave people. They don't owe us the Zhao family anything. On the contrary, we owe them the most."
"No one will be able to bully the Gu family from now on!"
Emperor Renzong's judgment made Prince Yong, Zhao Zongquan and others bow and nod repeatedly.
"Erlang is a good kid, what do you think?"
Emperor Renzong's question startled Prince Yong, but he then understood and bowed.
"Your Majesty, the position of Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Palace is still vacant. Gu Tingye has made great contributions in saving the Emperor and should be set as an example."
It is understandable that Prince Yong's display of merit attracted attention, after all, Emperor Renzong was still paving the way for him.
"Okay, okay, I think you are quite clear about rewards and punishments. There will be another person coming soon. Please decide how to reward him..."
A mysterious smile crossed the corners of Emperor Renzong's mouth. Only the Di Liang brothers, who were silent on the side, smiled at each other. They naturally knew who it was.
