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

Shi Xiu said impatiently,

"There are still many things to attend to at the King's place,"

"If you delay, you will bear the consequences."

Chapter 1708 Knowing When to Adverb

Duan Chang naturally knew that Zhao Yuan must have other things to tell him to do.

Seeing Qin Huaishan's awkwardness,

He couldn't help but get anxious.

He ripped Qin Huaishan's clothes to shreds in two quick movements.

"what!"

Qin Huaishan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Shi Xiu, standing nearby, saw that the two had already had relations.

As he walked out, he said...

"Okay, let's go."

Duan Chang was in high spirits.

Upon hearing Shi Xiu say this,

He almost vomited blood.

But they dared not disobey.

He could only get up and say a few words to Qin Huaishan before...

He hurriedly walked outside.

He wasn't just giving Qin Huaishan a perfunctory reply.

Leaving aside the fact that Qin Huaishan was Zhao Ji's concubine,

It was very attractive to him.

Zhao Yuan gave him a sow.

He needs to take good care of himself.

Besides, she was a beautiful young woman.

Inside the Chuigong Hall,

After Shi Xiu and the other person left,

Zhao Yuan then sent Zhao Ji's personal eunuch to summon Cai Jing to the palace.

Cai Jing thought the world was in chaos.

Emperor Huizong had no choice but to ask his old minister to come out of retirement again.

He happily entered the palace immediately.

Who would have thought that he would be arrested as soon as he entered the palace?

He was imprisoned with Wang Fu and others.

Zhao Yuan was sitting on the dragon throne.

Seeing Shi Xiu and Duan Chang return,

"How did things go?"

Shi Xiu nodded and said,

"He chose one of Zhao Ji's concubines."

"Rebellious ministers and traitors!"

Although Zhao Ji had already considered the consequences of the country's destruction,

What became of his concubines?

But hearing this news with my own ears

I couldn't help but curse out loud.

Then everything went black.

Fainted.

Duan Chang heard Zhao Ji's angry curses.

He was so frightened that he trembled slightly.

His knees buckled, and he knelt down in fright.

Just as he was about to beg for mercy,

Seeing that Zhao Yuan was sitting on the dragon throne,

He quickly changed his words,

"Thank you for your generous gift, Your Majesty."

Zhao Yuan nodded.

"Stand up, I, Da Liang, do not need to kneel."

Duan Chang then got up.

"I am deeply grateful for Your Majesty's favor, and have no way to repay you."

"I am willing to serve Your Majesty at your service."

Zhao Yuan nodded.

"Do you have any trusted confidants in your Imperial Guard?"

Upon hearing this, Duan Chang blushed and said...

"Previously, Gao Qiu was very powerful, and most of the Imperial Guards had defected to him,"

"He has few trusted confidants,"

"Of the 200,000 Imperial Guards in the city, only a few thousand can be controlled."

Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "That's enough. Tomorrow, have your trusted men guard the city gates."

"Just help my Liang troops enter the city,"

"Another batch of troops will arrive tonight,"

"You can lead them into the city when the time comes."

Duan Chang heard that Zhao Yuan had only asked him to do such a simple task.

He nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes."

Li Bangyan, however, remained in the crowd, contemplating the chances of success in this coup in Daliang.

If the Liang dynasty only had a few hundred people sealing off the palace...

The news was bound to leak sooner or later.

At that time, other members of the royal family outside the palace could mobilize the imperial guards to break down the palace.

At that point, the emperor as a hostage would be completely useless.

The royal family outside the palace were more than happy for Zhao Ji to die.

That way they can ascend the throne.

What he needed was to survive the battle.

Now all the officials have been forced to submit to the Great Liang.

Regardless of who inherits the throne

They all needed the assistance of officials.

They will surely be pardoned.

However, upon hearing Zhao Yuan say that the Liang army would be able to enter Tokyo the next day...

Li Bangyan then knew that the coup in Daliang was almost certain to succeed.

Even if several members of the Song Dynasty royal family escaped,

The Song Dynasty would also fall apart.

Then it will truly become a battleground for numerous heroes.

And they captured Tokyo,

Replenished by the military strategists of the Great Liang Dynasty

With the support of the people, Daliang was undoubtedly the most likely to unify the country.

Li Bangyan pondered for a while.

"Your Majesty, I have some thoughts, but I don't know if I should speak them?"

Zhao Yuan thought Li Bangyan was indeed very handsome.

However, there was a hint of malice in his eyes.

"Who are you?"

When Zhao Yuan asked, Li Bangyan quickly replied, "I am Li Bangyan."

Zhao Yuan thought for a moment,

Li Bangyan also had some recollection of this.

He appears to be one of the Six Traitors of the Northern Song Dynasty.

He couldn't help but look at Duan Chang standing to the side.

What kind of person was Li Bangyan?

Duan Chang thought for a moment and said,

"They didn't do anything bad, though."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuan asked doubtfully, "Are you sure?"

Duan Chang noticed Zhao Yuan's furrowed brows.

"This humble official has indeed not heard of him doing any evil deeds,"

"However, he grew up in the city and was good at joking and teasing,"

"They often used street slang as lyrics and music, which were sung by the people."

"He called himself Li Langzi (Li the Prodigal). He was also good at playing Cuju (ancient Chinese football)."

"Therefore, he was also greatly favored by Emperor Huizong of Song."

Li Bangyan also hurriedly said.

"Although I am somewhat frivolous, I have never done anything evil."

Zhao Yuan nodded.

"Alright, then tell me what your thoughts are?"

Chapter 1709 Offering a Plan

Li Bangyan said, "Since His Majesty has sealed off the palace, he will likely not allow the officials to leave today."

"I do have a way that might be able to deceive everyone."

Zhao Yuan indeed had no intention of letting them leave the palace.

"Tell me your ideas."
