Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

Hearing this could save your life.

He nodded hurriedly.

"Please give your orders, sir."

"I will certainly comply."

Zhao Yuan nodded.

"Take us to the place where we attend court."

The eunuch said cautiously,

"Does Your Excellency wish to go to the Wende Hall or the Chuigong Hall?"

Zhao Yuan asked in confusion,

What are the purposes of these two halls?

The eunuch noticed that Zhao Yuan didn't even know the purpose of those two halls.

Clearly not someone from the imperial court.

Could they be members of the Four Great Bandits?

Thinking that they might be members of the Four Great Bandits,

The eunuch's fear intensified.

In their minds, outlaws and bandits were extremely ruthless.

Killing without blinking.

The eunuch said cautiously,

"The Chuigong Hall was where court sessions were held,"

"If the emperor had arrived earlier,"

"They will all rest in the Wende Hall,"

"We'll go to the Chui Gong Hall once all the civil and military officials have gathered."

Chapter 1700 The Hall of Chuigong

The Chuigong Hall was the office space.

The Hall of Literary Virtue was where the emperor put on airs.

Make sure he's the last one to appear.

To capture all the civil and military officials in one fell swoop

Naturally, we should go to the Wende Hall.

Once all the officials have arrived...

Let's try catching a turtle in a jar again.

"Go to Wende Hall."

Zhao Yuan and his entourage had all changed into Imperial Guard uniforms.

After several battles

What the Liang Dynasty had in abundance was Song Dynasty armor.

It was still dark at this time.

No one was moving around in the palace.

The Imperial Guards were stationed only in a few key locations.

Seeing the emperor leading a troop of guards towards the main hall,

No one dared to ask any questions.

Arrived at Wende Hall,

Then you can see the Chuigong Hall.

Two imperial guards stood a few feet apart in front of the Chuigong Hall.

It extends all the way to the palace gate.

There are always dozens of people.

The officials entered through the main gate of the Chui Gong Hall.

The emperor could enter the Chuigong Hall from the Wende Hall through a side door.

They walked directly to the high platform where the dragon throne was placed.

Wu Song observed for a while,

"Your Majesty, why don't I take some men to replace the Imperial Guards in front?"

"Once the officials are inside, we can catch them like turtles in a jar."

Zhao Yuan shook his head and said, "The officials must all have some impression of these Imperial Guards."

"Suddenly replaced by unfamiliar faces,"

"I'm afraid it will alert them."

"Let's just wait here patiently,"

"Once all the civil and military officials have arrived,"

"We'll split our forces into two groups,"

"Just block the side door and the main door."

"Alright, everyone, please rest here in this hall."

"Just leave a few people to keep watch."

The group, however, had been conserving their energy for quite some time.

Coupled with curiosity about the palace,

They were all looking around at the luxurious furnishings inside the hall.

I wasn't very sleepy.

After his initial excitement, Zhao Yuan...

I'm a little sleepy.

He lay down on the bed where Zhao Ji usually rested and fell asleep.

"Your Majesty, wake up."

I don't know how long I slept.

Zhao Yuan was awakened by Wu Song.

Zhao Yuan opened his eyes.

Everyone in the main hall had already gathered.

He got up and said,

"Are all the officials present?"

Wu Song nodded and said,

"Everyone has arrived; it's time for Emperor Huizong to attend court."

"Alright, take your personal guards and block the main gate of the Chuigong Hall."

"Shi Xiu and I escorted Zhao Ji through the side door."

Upon hearing this, Wu Song

"Your Majesty should also bring some men,"

"So that no one will have to save this damn emperor."

Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "Shi Xiu just needs to capture him."

"No one dared to risk saving him,"

"No one can bear the responsibility for the emperor's death."

.....

Civil and military officials stood silently in the Chui Gong Hall.

Waiting for the emperor to hold court.

Many people were yawning constantly.

Over the years, Emperor Huizong had long since eliminated the daily morning court session.

Only the monthly morning and fifteenth court assemblies,

Only then would Zhao Ji attend court.

The officials had also forgotten the hardships of court assemblies.

And these days,

Emperor Huizong, however, attended court every day.

The lingering anger of Zhao Ji from that day was still present.

No official dared to be late.

We have to get up to eat around midnight every day.

We had to rush to the palace around 4 a.m.

For several days in a row,

Many people are extremely tired.

While everyone was waiting for the emperor to begin court,

Suddenly, a commotion was heard outside the main hall.

Wu Song led his personal guards to the main gate of the Chui Gong Hall.

The guards saw this unfamiliar group of imperial guards suddenly appear.

One by one, they drew their swords.

"By imperial decree, the bandits are to be suppressed; no one is to act rashly."

Chapter 1701 The Ugly Behavior of Officials

Wu Song held a scroll of imperial edict.

Give a loud shout,

The Imperial Guard soldiers stood there dumbfounded.

The civil and military officials had no time to react.

They were then driven together by Wu Song and his personal guards.

Wang Fu was pushed by one of his personal guards.

He was furious.

"Bold."

Wu Song stepped forward and smashed his scabbard against Wang Fu's head, shouting,

"Shut up."

Wang Fu rubbed the large bump on his head.

His official position seems to have no effect whatsoever.
