Bang!

Zhao Yuanwei threw the newspaper full of articles denouncing him onto the table. He never expected that his big publicity would be so popular that even Cao Can could not defeat a small newspaper...

Zhao Yuanwei, who was born in the royal family, never understood that the people really don’t have a special feeling about who the emperor is. As long as you can make us eat and wear warmly, it doesn’t matter to them that you are the eldest, second, or third brother of the Zhao family.

Wu Zetian has been the emperor for more than ten years, and the real opposition to him is nothing more than people in the temple. Who cares if the people sitting in that seat are given to women? During her reign, no one jumped out and said that because you are a woman, no matter how good we live, we still have to oppose you.

The origin of Zhao Weiji and Zhao Yuanwei have different views on the illusory things like the people's hearts. Zhao Yuanwei, who was born in the Song Dynasty, may have been more affected by the warlords in the Five Dynasties and the yellow robe of Song Taizu. In these matters, the lowest-level people did not play a role in determining the surname.

Zhao Weiji is different. The soul in his body was born in the Celestial Empire, and its influence on him was more about who and how the scarlet group won the country by winning the hearts of the people.

Zhao Weiji knew very well how important the great impact the people’s support had on a country.

The different focus has led to differences in publicity methods and has also led to a current situation.

However, Zhao Yuanwei had another point that he didn't understand, that is, he thought his propaganda could give him righteous support. In this way, the court should support him.

But let’s not talk about whether Zhenzong was intentionally killed. Even if most of the officials in the court are now moved by the cake given by Zhao Weiji, it’s nonsense to be righteous in the face of interests. If everyone is a saint, then this country will not need the court.

Until now, Zhao Yuanwei has not figured out why those people were sentenced to him.

But all this is no longer important. He is now blocked at the city of Daming Mansion and cannot advance at all. The imperial army to suppress the rebellion has arrived. At this moment, Li Jiguang was rushing to Daming Mansion with 30,000 troops and ten cannons, and he will arrive within ten days.

Originally, I thought that the northern states had just been ravaged by the Khitan iron hooves and should not have much resistance. But Zhao Yuanwei was wrong. Under Zhao Weiji's propaganda, Zhao Yuanwei's kind of person who held heavy troops but did not want to serve the country aroused unanimous hatred between the people and officials along the way.

Especially these places that have just been attacked by the Khitan, Zhao Yuanwei is regarded as the same as the Khitan dog thief and even worse.

With his extremely strong resistance, coupled with the influence of his very fast morale, which also affected him and thus declined, the combat effectiveness of the army can only be described as low and pitiful.

Now it is estimated that if Zhao Yuanwei ordered the withdrawal of troops, the soldiers in the army would be able to run away the next day so that they could not even see the shadows.

It was so hard that Li Jiguang arrived.

Originally, Li Jiguang's reputation had already scared the rebel soldiers. In addition, he brought ten cannons and was in a deterrent plan, Li Jiguang fired several cannons at the not far away, directly leveling the slope.

After seeing this scene in front of him, the rebel soldiers were completely scared and a mutiny occurred in the rebel camp that night.

Zhao Yuanwei, who was discussing what to do next in the tent, and other senior officials who were rising up together, were suddenly restrained by the soldiers who rushed into the tent and tied up.

"What do you mean?" Zhao Yuanwei, who was tied up by many flowers, shouted hysterically.

"Your Majesty, you don't know that you're already so popular. Besides, you haven't seen the magical weapon brought by General Li? That can level up the hills. Wouldn't we brothers give it to you? I won't fight this kind of battle that doesn't have any magical calculations at all."

Just listening to this sentence did not make Zhao Yuanwei very discouraged, but when he heard the soft murmur of another soldier beside him, he completely gave up.

"I want to compete with the army that just defeated the Khitans. To put it bluntly, with such magical weapons to help, even if the King of Wu Yue really conspires to murder the late emperor, how many people can match it."

...

The next morning, just as dawn, the rebels raised flags and rushed towards the Northwest Army's camp with tied and strong Zhao Yuanwei.

"General, the other party has surrendered." The scout in charge of the investigation immediately came back to report to Li Jiguang when he saw this scene.

Li Jiguang smiled slightly after hearing this: "I knew they would surrender for a long time, so I went to surrender together."

After saying that, Li Jiguang stood up, took care of his clothes and walked out of the camp.

It turns out that the reason why Zhao Weiji asked Li Jiguang to come out with ten cannons was not because he was afraid that Li Jiguang's Northwest Army would not be able to defeat him. In terms of combat effectiveness, the Northwest Army, which had been competing with Dangxiang in the Northwest for many years, was more than enough to fight Zhao Yuanwei from somewhere.

However, after just experiencing the war against Liao, Zhao Weiji really didn't want to start a war again. He brought these ten cannons to shock the rebels and thus defeat the soldiers without fighting.

Now that they saw the other party surrendering, the Northwest Army was very happy. To be honest, they didn't want to fight this unnecessary war too much.

The next step was a simple process of surrender. After getting the promise of not being blamed for surrender, the rebels were very happy and handed over Zhao Yuanwei and others to Li Jiguang.

Then he returned to his base camp and handed over all the weapons and armor to the Northwest Army.

After doing this, the rebels disbanded on the spot and returned to their hometowns separately.

After capturing the leaders of these rebels, Li Jiguang did not dare to deal with it on his own. He immediately asked the army to hand over these people to Zhao Weiji to deal with it.

...

Ten days later, the army was still in charge. Although the troops were not bloody, they were still welcomed by the people of the capital. After leading the guards to send the rebels to the East Palace, Li Jiguang met Zhao Weiji.

Zhao Weiji is still dealing with political affairs, as if this rebellion has never happened.

"Prince, Jiguang is lucky to be unfair to his fate." After seeing Zhao Weiji, Li Jiguang immediately bowed.

Zhao Weiji just looked up at him, then smiled and said, "Are you back? Not many people died."

Li Jiguang, who thought Zhao Weiji would ask where the rebel was, didn't expect that Zhao Weiji was concerned about how many people died.

"For the blessing of cannon, there were no casualties on both sides."

"That's good, that's good." Zhao Weiji, who heard that there was nothing dead, completely let go of his heart. When he was about to go back and continue reading the memorial, he was suddenly stopped by Li Jiguang.

"Prince, are you not interested in the rebels at all?"

Zhao Weiji was stunned when he heard this, and then said, "What are they worthy of interest to me? Isn't it over if you hand them over to the Ministry of Justice?"

"No, there are a few special people among those people."

"Special person?" Zhao Weiji couldn't understand at this time, "What special person?"

At this time, Li Jiguang took out a piece of paper from his arms, with a pile of names written on it. He put the paper on Zhao Weiji's desk and then retreated.

Zhao Weiji looked at Li Jiguang with a strange expression and behavior, and then picked up the list he placed on the table. The first name on the list was Zhao Yuanwei, and then Cao Can.

This list seems to be the list of the main people who are plotting against each other. What is there to list like this? After Zhao Weiji, who was surprised, saw the name of the third person, he finally knew why Li Jiguang had to make such a strange move.

Chai Yongqi, this name is exactly the name of Zhao Weiji's brother-in-law.

"Is this Chai Yongqi the Chai Yongqi?" Zhao Weiji, who was still a little unbelievable, confirmed to Li Jiguang again.

The answer I waited for was that Li Jiguang nodded, it was Chai Yongqi.

At this time, Zhao Weiji, who had a positive answer, had a green face. He never expected that his eldest wife's brother-in-law would actually participate in the rebellion against him, and was also captured by his second wife's brother-in-law.

Although Chai Yu has always had a bad relationship with her brothers, Zhao Weiji's family has been convenient for Chai Yongqi and others to have no contact or contact.

But he never dreamed that his elder brother-in-law would want to overthrow him. They didn't know that once they became emperor, Chai Yu would definitely be the queen, and they would become relatives.

"Oh." Zhao Weiji sighed and asked Li Jiguang to take Chai Yongqi, and Chai Yonglian, who appeared on the list next, and Chai Yonghui, all of them were taken in, and then sent the others to the Ministry of Justice.

When Zhao Weiji's three brothers were taken in, they had a black cloth bag on their heads. It must have been a measure taken by Li Jiguang to prevent the three of them from being recognized.

This made Zhao Weiji feel more grateful to Li Jiguang in his heart. After all, no matter how bad the relationship is, his brother-in-law is still his brother-in-law. If he is recognized, it will be uncomfortable to sit as the queen of Chai Yu in the future.

After the three men were taken off the cloth bag on their heads by Zhao Weiji, they had no expressions, but they just lowered their heads and said nothing. This made Zhao Weiji a little confused about how to start the questioning.

After the two sides were silent for a cup of tea, Zhao Weiji spoke first: "Brother-in-law, second brother-in-law, third brother-in-law, sister-in-law, I never thought you would appear on this list of rebellion. What are the things that I, Zhao Weiji and Xiaoyu, sorry for you three, so that you three want to raise troops to judge me."

"The success and success are the king and the defeat are the enemy. Since you lose today, you can do whatever you should do. The other three brothers don't want to say anything more." After the boss Chai Yongqi finished speaking, he stopped talking.

And the second and third brother never said a word again.

Zhao Weiji knew that he could not pry out anything from the three of them for the time being, and then made other plans when Chai Yu came back.
