Chapter 61: Lure the Snake Out of Its Hole (Murder)



"ah!"

Li Shishi opened her red lips slightly and let out a high-pitched scream, "Your Majesty, I'm so glad you're okay."

Zhao Huan's face flushed red, and he gasped for breath. "Miss Shishi, you are too enthusiastic. It would have been fine, but if Miss Shishi had let go a little later, I would have fainted."

"What are you talking about, Your Majesty? Shishi is your father's woman, and even your mother!" Li Shishi's face turned red for a rare moment, and she rolled her eyes at Zhao Huan.

However, this rolling eyes fell on Zhao Huan, but it was so charming. Zhao Huan admired in his heart: "This is a woman of high level. Every frown and smile is temptation."

"Little girl? How exciting! If this... No, no, what nonsense are you thinking about? Father and son visiting prostitutes, this will be ridiculed by others, no, no, this seems like a good story in this era..."

Zhao Huan shook his head, driving away the random thoughts in his mind. He shifted his gaze from below to Shishi's delicate face, looked into her eyes, and asked, "How is Bianliang City doing now?"

"Not bad. Your Majesty's heroic feat last night thwarted the Jin Kingdom's attempt to capture Bianliang City from both inside and outside."

At this point, Li Shishi's tone was filled with admiration: "The Empress and Princess Roujia are as brave as any man. They patrolled the city defense line despite their grief. She remained firm in front of the soldiers defending the city and the people inside. The city survives as long as the people are there. If the city is destroyed, the people will die."

Li Shishi has always wanted to be a woman like Mulan. The Queen Mother has made her a success, and she is proud of it.

"With His Majesty gone, the Empress has taken up the banner of resistance against the Jin army, patrolling the city walls and inspiring the soldiers. Last night alone, they repelled thirteen Jin attacks."

"The Queen is so great!"

Li Shishi's eyes twinkled with stars, like a die-hard fan: "At dawn, a great thing happened."

"What's the good news?"

"Hahaha!" Li Shishi was rarely naughty: "Your elder and younger brothers-in-law are here?"

"What!" Zhao Huan was stunned for a moment: "Zhu Lian'er's brother?"

"Yeah!" Li Shishi's big eyes, like those of Caroline, sparkled with admiration: "Zhu Xiaosun is so handsome."

Zhao Huan was speechless: "You are obviously the most popular star in the Song Dynasty, why are you acting like a little girl who has never seen the world? Don't forget, you are my father's woman."

"Humph! What I like now is a heroic man. I don't like romantic geniuses anymore."

Li Shishi was proud for a moment, then continued, "The Jin soldiers marched south to attack Bianliang. In order to protect his sister, Zhu Xiaosun traveled day and night, fighting his way all the way from Guangdong to Bianliang."

"Is it so crazy?"

"Yes, I heard that Zhu Xiaosun is a man who dotes on his sister."

"Sister-loving maniac, that's great, I'm a daughter slave, we have something in common."

Zhao Huan pondered in his heart, his expression calm: "What happened next?"

"Later, hahaha, Zhu Xiaosun showed up and immediately gave Wanyan Zongwang a show of force, making him so angry that he almost vomited blood. After all that trouble, the Jin Kingdom didn't want to bother anymore. I heard they just delivered a letter of peace request to the city defense line."

"Ask for peace!" Zhao Huan sneered. "This old man has been messing with us for so many years. It's a little late for him to ask for peace now. Besides, I've already killed so many important officials who asked for peace. Is there anyone else who dares to ask for peace?"

Zhao Huan looked at Li Shishi's expression and asked doubtfully, "Is it true? Who is so bold? Don't they want to live anymore?"

Li Shishi pointed at Zhao Huan and said, "You know what the court officials are saying? They say Your Majesty, you are a lunatic. Didn't the Jiying Palace explode yesterday? So..."

"I see. They think they're doing it again, right? Who's leading the charge? Could it be Zhao Kai? Does he want to be emperor again?"

"That's not the case. His Royal Highness Prince Yun guarded the Empress all night. After all, she is still his sister-in-law. Regardless, Zhao Kai is an upright gentleman and would not take advantage of someone in distress."

"Who is that?"

"It's Prince Kang Zhao Gou!"

"King Kang Zhao Gou." Zhao Huan muttered a few words in a low voice. Zhao Gou, if he had not changed the historical script, King Kang Zhao Gou would have ascended the throne and become the emperor, that is, Emperor Gaozong of Song.

Zhao Gou was indeed a foolish and incompetent man. In terms of lust and romance, he was no less than his father Zhao Ji, in terms of cowardice, he was no less than the former crown prince Zhao Huan, and in terms of insidiousness and viciousness, he was no less than the treacherous minister Qin Hui. Later, it was these two who joined forces to kill Yue Fei.

[Unofficial knowledge: A little background information: Many people believe Zhao Gou had his moments of glory. He was once sent as an envoy to the Jin camp, where he remained calm and composed, while his companion, Zhang Bangchang, was trembling with fear. The truth is completely different. Zhao Gou was the one trembling. The treacherous minister Zhang Bangchang had already surrendered to the Jin, which is why he remained calm and composed.]

After many twists and turns of thoughts, they gradually converged into one sentence: Zhao Gou is a good-for-nothing, so let's send him to paradise as soon as possible.

"Oh!" Li Shishi suddenly screamed.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Huan looked at Li Shishi in surprise.

"Well, Your Majesty, please go to the Bianjing Palace quickly. Zhao Gou and his men are forcing the Empress to agree to a peace treaty."

"Force Lian'er?"

"I inspected the city last night and saw that the Queen's prestige is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Without the Queen's approval, this matter cannot be accomplished."

"Zhao Gou has united many civil and military officials within the court, intending to become emperor and then submit to the Jin Kingdom, saying that a country cannot be without a ruler for a day..."

"He's dreaming. Even if I die, there's still the crown prince. What does it have to do with Zhao Gou?"

"Your Majesty, please go to the Bianjing Palace!"

The wind is the wind, the fire is the fire. Li Shishi asked someone to call a carriage and quietly entered the Bian Jing Palace.

Li Shishi has the gold medal, so it is not far from Zhao Huan's appearance.

"Well, a skilled warrior establishes himself in an invincible position before seeking battle. I'm left with no one to command me now, and I'm a little panicked."

“…”

Li Shishi screamed in her heart: "Who said His Majesty is a madman? Why is he so steady?"

"What does your majesty wish?"

"I will return to Funing Palace first. Please ask Miss Shishi to go to Daqing Palace and ask Zhu Lian to agree first, and then let them do what they want. Once I have gathered all the troops, I will capture them all in one fell swoop."

“…”

You are His Majesty, you have the final say.

Can people really change so much? They were so brave yesterday, but so despicable today.

The fact, of course, is not so. It is just an excuse. In the current chaotic situation, Zhao Gou cannot cause any trouble. With Zhao Huan's current prestige, Zhao Gou will submit to him as soon as he appears.

It's hard to kill without an excuse.

Also, he missed Zhu Lian'er.

Kiss, hug and lift up high.
