Chapter 1061 Red is drunk

He did not directly call Zhao Xian the emperor, but called Emperor Gong. This is enough to show that if the two emperors compete for the throne, he would probably still stand on Zhao Dongting's side.

In the Song Dynasty, it would not work without Zhao Dongting.

Perhaps the civil servants did not have a deep understanding of this, but they all knew it well by Zhao Dongting.

Without the new weapons and armor developed by the emperor, and without the emperor's military management and training methods, the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty would never have the current atmosphere.

Su Quandang didn't know what his uncle Su Liuyi would think. But he asked himself, he would definitely defend the new emperor.

Empress Dowager Xie sighed softly in her heart.

How could she not hear any clues from Su Quandang’s name?

At this moment, she seemed to feel that she underestimated Zhao Shi and overestimated her prestige in the court before.

But now, it is obvious that there is no need to worry about these things.

Amid the low cry of Queen Mother Quan, she spoke: "Emperor Gong was assassinated yesterday evening."

Su Quan was stunned and a look of shock suddenly appeared on his face.

This shocking expression was not false at all.

The same was true for Liu Zaiyuan and others on the side.

Immediately afterwards, Su Quandang asked in a shocked voice: "How could Emperor Gong be assassinated? Who made the move?"

Their expressions fell into the eyes of Empress Dowager Xie and others.

Empress Dowager Xie looked at Su Quandang deeply, and finally shook her head, "I don't know her identity, but I am a gray-robed swordsman."

Su Quandang frowned, and he would not think of Taki Yu because of this.

Emperor Gong was actually dead.

He didn't breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, but he was solemn, not knowing what impact this would have on the Song Dynasty.

Then he asked again: "Where did Emperor Gong get assassinated?"

Empress Dowager Xie pointed to the back, "From here to a small town about twenty miles north."

"Get on the horse!"

Su Quandang waved his gun and got on the horse, gave a loud order, and then looked at Liu Zaiyuan next to him, "Captain Liu, you lead five hundred personal guards to escort the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager will return to the city!"

Looking at the army behind him, he shouted again: "Leave Liu Juncheng 500 guards, and the rest follow me!"

After saying that, he slapped his horse and headed forward.

If you live, you will see a person, and if you die, you will see a corpse.

The emperor sent an imperial edict from Changsha to welcome Empress Dowager Xie, and Emperor Gong and others returned to the court. However, he did not expect that before he received Emperor Gong, Emperor Gong was assassinated.

This can prevent the two emperors from competing for throne, but Su Quandang was also a complete negligence.

Thousands of cavalry were marching away.

On the snow, dense horse hoof prints were left.

Empress Dowager Xie turned around and looked at the army's back as he walked away, his eyes even deeper.

Then, under the escort of Liu Zaiyuan and five hundred personal guards, they got on the carriage and headed towards Xinyang City.

The carriage was bumpy.

The royal relatives in the carriage were numb.

Su Quandang, with thousands of cavalry, swept the long dragon like a wind, and from time to time, he arrived at the town where Nalongyu and several elders of the Pojun Academy started slaughtering.

The armor and weapons of the Yuan army soldiers have been taken away by the people in the town, and some people have begun to throw these corpses into the wilderness.

Having been waiting for half a day, it seems that the Yuan army will not come to collect the bodies of these robes again.

And at this moment, Su Quandang arrived with thousands of cavalry.

They swept straight to the streets of the town, and saw the bodies everywhere in front and the people who were busy, and they all tied their horses together.

Su Quandang's eyes were cold.

The people in the town hurriedly threw down the bodies in their hands and ran to the side of the street. Looking at the iron cavalry like a torrent, their faces showed a look of awe.

Zhao Dongting implemented benevolent policies in the country and treated the people well, but in this era, no matter how good the policies were, they would be difficult to spread to such remote places.

Su Quandang ignored these people, turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the corpses.

Later, the soldiers of Tianli Army dismounted and followed him.

Su Quandang's pair of boots was quickly stained with blood, but he seemed to have no idea, and his eyes were just sweeping over the corpses on the ground.

Finally, I saw Zhao Xian lying in the corner.

Zhao Xian fell to the ground, but his clothes were different from those of the Yuan army soldiers.

After seeing him, Su Quandang walked over quickly. But looking at the pool of blood under Zhao Xian's head, he also understood that Emperor Gong could no longer be alive.

He walked to Zhao Xian's body and turned over Zhao Xian's face.

At this time, the former emperor of the Song Dynasty had no blood on his face and was extremely pale. Because he was buried in the snow, he was still faintly purple and had ice on his eyebrows.

Su Quandang had certainly seen him. At this moment, he felt very conflicted, and he didn't know whether to be sad or happy.

He spoke indifferently: "Escort Emperor Gong's body back to the court."

The soldiers following him did not have much change in expression on their faces.

They had never met Zhao Xian, and most of them joined the army after Zhao Dongting restored the Song Dynasty. They did not have much conception about Zhao Xian.

A burly walked forward and carried Zhao Xian's body on his back.

Su Quandang's eyes swept across the people in the town, and without saying anything, he walked back to the war horse, turned over and said, "Let's go!"

Then, he took the army away again. He came and went in a hurry.

When they caught up with Liu Zaiyuan and his group, Liu Zaiyuan and others had not yet returned to Xinyang City.

Because it is dozens of miles away, it is inevitable to spend the night in the town along the way.

But there was no assassination on that night.

Su Quandang did not serve Empress Dowager Xie and others attentively, and Empress Dowager Xie and others were honest and did not present the royal relatives.

Changsha City is still lively.

Even at this night, the sound of firecrackers and fireworks in the palace were still not cut off.

Although the Song Dynasty's treasury is not rich now, Zhao Dongting will not be so pedantic that he can even save on getting married to his beloved woman.

Furthermore, being too frugal would cause any public opinion among the public.

Now the Song Dynasty is in its thriving and prosperous era. The emperor's wedding is shabby, what will the people think?

In the bedroom, Zhang Ru and Ying'er's daughters had already returned to their rooms.

In Lechan's new room, Lechan sat upright on the bed.

The girl from the musical temple stood beside her.

There is no one else besides this.

Le Chan wanted to uncover the red veil several times, but was stopped by Le Wu. She said that the red veil had to be uncovered by the groom, otherwise it would be unlucky.

Zhao Dongting accompanied Lu Xiufu, Su Liuyi and other civil and military ministers, the Wuding Hall, and Qin Xiang, the old master of Baicao Valley who came from Jingzhou, and others were a little drunk. Finally, they left the banquet and took a few eunuchs to the bedroom.
