I can’t go back to Funing Palace for the time being.
You can question Song Huizong's ability and belittle his character, but you can't help but admire his effortless flirting skills, his pounding kidney exercises, and his rich reserves of life essence.
Three thousand beauties, all of whom are equally benefited, is Song Huizong's reputation just for nothing?
Historically, this can be seen from the fact that Song Huizong was able to give birth to 19 children during the 8 years when he was captured by the Jin Kingdom and moved to Wuguo City (now Yilan County, Heilongjiang Province). Song Huizong exchanged most of his ability to govern the country for an indestructible kidney.
As for how many of these 19 children were Song Huizong's own children, it is not certain.
"Your Majesty, something has happened."
Wang Zongchu, the commander of the Palace Front Division, ran all the way, holding his stomach with his hands, and spoke breathlessly.
"What's wrong?"
"Tong Guan, Tong Guan is missing."
Damn, Zhao Huan was scared. If Tong Guan ran away with 30,000 troops, there would be no point in defending Bianliang. He would just wait for death.
"What? You said Tong Guan is missing! When did it happen?"
"It's been nearly half an hour. After Tong Guan came out of Daqing Palace, he didn't see anyone and went straight back to the study in the Guangyang County Prince's Mansion. Our people had been guarding outside the study. During lunch, we knocked on the door but there was no response. That's when we realized Tong Guan was gone."
"Has anyone else gone in there? Did they change clothes and leave?"
"No one's even close."
"That's really strange. How could a living person just disappear out of thin air?"
"Could it be that the person who was following us has been exposed?"
"That shouldn't be the case. Tong Guan's personal guards were people that Imperial Physician Sun had put in place a long time ago. They've been fine for all these years. They couldn't have been discovered suddenly today."
It's Doctor Sun again! Is there anything else this guy can't do?
"It's very likely that he was exposed, otherwise Tong Guan wouldn't have run away so easily. It's very likely that they have already known about today's actions."
"Have the others made any unusual moves?"
"Nothing unusual for now."
"If we delay, something unexpected will happen. Pass the order down and act immediately. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed on the spot."
"Go find Li Gang and ask him to close the four gates of Bianliang City."
"Have Liang Chen take the tiger talisman to the clan elder marshal and take over the 30,000 Northwestern troops stationed outside the city. Anyone who gathers to cause trouble will be executed."
"Have the Imperial City Department increase patrols within Bianliang City and apprehend anyone who shows any abnormality."
"Send someone to Yanfu Palace to apprehend Tong Guan's wife and daughter. Do not harm them."
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
Wang Zongchu received the imperial order and hurried down to make arrangements.
Yesterday we bombarded Duting Posthouse and lost three brothers. Today we were tailing Tong Guan and lost him again.
Although His Majesty did not say much, if he did not perform well, his position would be in jeopardy.
Zhao Huan never dared to look down on the ancients, and today he deeply appreciated their wisdom.
In the morning, he was amazed by the joint performance of Song Huizong and Li Shishi, and in the afternoon he was caught off guard by Tong Guan's escape.
It’s still not stable enough, and there’s no emergency plan.
Zhao Huan always remained calm when facing major events. He stood still, took two sets of deep breaths, and then began to think about the next countermeasures.
In the city of Bianliang, there was no joy and peace as before the Spring Festival, but only a solemn atmosphere.
People from the Imperial City Bureau patrolled the streets, ready to provide support at any time.
More than 20 teams of 100 people were heading towards their set goals under the leadership of their team leaders.
The team leader in charge of confiscating the property of Liu Chengyu, a member of the Beijing Fang Department, is Jing Chao, the one who persuaded Li Shishi to come down with a friendly face yesterday. Because he is smart and knows how to speak when and when, Shao Chengzhang took a fancy to him and arranged him to be a team leader for training.
Although the team leader was only promoted one level, his treatment was immediately different. He could have his own customized weapon, and Jing Chao chose a steel knife.
Jing Chao unsheathed his steel knife, and with a flash of light, he cut the plaque of "Liu Mansion" into two pieces.
Jing Chao waved his knife-wielding hand: "Take them all away."
The servants in the Liu Mansion were so frightened that they dared not even breathe. They huddled in corners trembling with fear, watching the ferocious imperial guards take away the master, mistress, young ladies and young master who were paralyzed on the ground.
"Did you talk to Tong Guan today? Do you know where he went?"
"No, I don't know. I haven't seen the general for seven days. He told me to rest for a few days and to hand over the work to his deputy, Li Ang, for the time being."
"broken!!!"
Jing Chao's heart moved. Could it be that he was being lured away from the mountain?
"Things may have changed. Go report the situation here to Commander Wang. The rest of you, prepare your horses and go to Xin Song Gate to wait for me!"
Jing Chao shouted, rushed out of the mansion, jumped on his horse, and galloped towards Li Ang's mansion.
A quarter of an hour later, Jing Chao came out of Li's house with a gloomy face. The doorman said that Li Ang had left Bianliang three days ago, saying that he was going back to his hometown to visit relatives.
"Visiting relatives? What the hell is this about visiting relatives? This is a fucking rebellion, just wait for your heads to fall off."
Rebellion? The doorman was so frightened that he sat down on the ground.
"It seems Tong Guan has made preparations. The 30,000 garrison troops outside the city are a dangerous place."
"Could it be that their target is the Zong Lao Marshal?"
If something happened to Marshal Zong Lao, the people would be in turmoil. The retired emperor would not be able to go to Luoyang, and the city of Bianliang would lose its backbone.
"We must rescue the old marshal!"
Jing Chao looked up at the sky and thought, I hope it's still in time.
He rode at full speed, heading towards the north gate. Whenever he met a team that was raiding houses, he would invite them to join him, saying that he was following the orders of Commander Wang to guard the clan elder marshal outside the city.
