Chapter 379: The New Emperor Ascends the Governor

Everything was so quiet in the quiet palace. Tong Guan held a bowl of ginseng soup and walked tremblingly towards Zixiao Palace. His face was gloomy and his eyes were blinking constantly, as if his heart was extremely nervous. And beside him, Zhao Kai followed him leisurely. Compared with Tong Guan, Zhao Kai was in a much better mood, with a smile on his face, and was full of energy and unprecedented comfort.

Seeing that Tong Guan was not nervous, Zhao Kai patted his shoulder and then laughed and said, "Old Tong, don't be nervous, just like usual. If you are too nervous and leak something, then I can't save you. But, if you do it successfully, I promise to reuse it with you and will help you get rid of Yang Jian, how about it?"

Tong Guan's face was bitter, but a far-fetched smile appeared. He nodded slightly and said, "It is the honor of the servant to do things for His Highness. I don't ask for any reward!"

As they said that, the two of them had arrived at the gate of the hall.

Zhao Kai narrowed his eyes and looked at the towering hall, then smiled and said, "Go in, I'll wait for news here."

Tong Guan nodded, then pushed open the hall door and walked in.

Zhao Kai stood on the stone steps and looked at the entire magnificent palace. This place has a status of controlling the world. From tonight, he will not need to look at others' eyes. Everything here will be his own.

At this time, the imperial guards of the palace arrived.

"I am paying homage to your highness!" the commander bowed and shouted.

Zhao Kai nodded and then said, "Transfer the order to close the four gates. No one is allowed to leave Tokyo City. The city will be closed from today! In addition, five thousand imperial guards will be sent to surround my mansion and strictly prevent the people inside from coming out. Whoever dares to break out will be killed! Finally, let the garrison generals be on guard..."

"Yes!" the commander responded and then went to do it quickly.

And at this moment, Tong Guan's wail suddenly came from the hall: "Your Majesty has passed away..."

When Huizong ascended to heaven and the imperial guards surrounded Zhao Kai's mansion, Ximen Qing, Zhang Yu, Qinglian and Li Shishi had already left Tokyo City. After watching the gate of Tokyo City, the expansion of defenders on the city walls, and the faint wailing sounds in the city, Ximen Qing knew that Huizong was dead and Zhao Kai ascended the throne.

Then, the four of them looked at each other and smiled and headed towards a small village not far away.

When Huizong died, a huge wave suddenly started in Tokyo. However, the news was not spread at all.

Zhao Kai then summoned all civil and military officials to discuss the court. Tong Guan read out the will of Huizong in the same dynasty. The will of Huizong showed that Huizong knew that his health was getting worse and worse, so he planned to pass the throne to the third son Zhao Kai.

In response to this, all civil and military officials had no objection and recommended Zhao Kai ascended the throne. In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Kai promoted the dragon lantern and then issued an order to announce to the world. He also conferred Zhao Yunti as King of Lu, Zhao Pu, the fourth son of Huizong, was King of Qi, etc.

As soon as the imperial edict was issued, it spread throughout the states and prefectures at the speed of rockets. The people in the world learned that Huizong was dead and Zhao Kai succeeded to the throne, and it was the same for everyone to be the emperor, and they didn't ask. The officials of each state also thought deeply, but they did not dare to object openly. They just waited for Zhao Yuntian's actions next to their cold eyes.

When Zhao Yunti learned the news, he didn't take it seriously at all! He completely didn't believe that Zhao Kai could take the throne! Gao Qiu, Yang Jian, and Cai Jing were all his own people, and the imperial guards and his confidants in the defenders. How could Zhao Kai defeat them? What's more, Huizong was healthy and had a minor illness, but he still had no problem living for another year or two. How could he say he died just by dying?

But when Zhao Yunzhen saw the imperial edict that he had enthroned him as King of Lu, Zhao Yunzhen realized that something he would not believe had come true!

In response to this, the angry Zhao Yuntian directly tore the imperial edict.

Zhao Yunzhen was very conceited and never thought that a fool like Zhao Kai could seize the throne. For him, the throne must be his, because no one could compete with him. But the situation became like this, and Zhao Yunzhen realized how great the disaster his pride had brought to him.

Although he has an army of 200,000, Zhao Kai has ascended the throne and is already a legitimate emperor. He has become the King of Lu. If he fights for the throne, he will be plotting against. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack in Tokyo, and it is too difficult to take it down. Fang La has not yet wiped out, the bandits in Liangshan, Tian Hu's army is still eyeing him, and there are tigers all around him. How should he do it?

For a moment, Zhao Yunti fell into a state of entanglement.

But soon, Zhao Yunzhen issued an order to continue to wipe out Fang La, and then return to Beijing to meet the Saint. Although Zhao Yunzhen was conceited, he was even smarter. Since this situation happened, he could not be in a hurry and had to go step by step.

The extermination of Fang La has reached a critical moment, so naturally we cannot give up. It has become a fact that Zhao Kai took the throne, and it will be useless even if he fights to return to the death.

So it is better to take Fang La, then recruit the enemy, expand his army, and then mobilize troops from other places, and finally return to Beijing. Zhao Kai only controlled Tokyo City, but Zhao Yunti also held a lot of military power in the city of heavy cities. If he mobilized all the troops together, he could gather 500,000 troops.

The 500,000 army is directed to Tokyo City. Zhao Yunzhen believes that no matter how difficult it is to attack Tokyo City, it can use corpses to build a way out.

As for the crime of treason that attacking Tokyo City would be punished, Zhao Yunti didn't care at all. The epic was written by the winner, and the loser would become a sinner even if he had great justice. Therefore, as long as he took the throne, it would be easy for others to solve it.

At the same time, the smart Zhao Yunzhen also realized that Zhao Kai could seize the throne so quickly, and there must be someone help, otherwise he would not dare to do it rashly with his vulgarity. After thinking about it, Zhao Yunzhen guessed Ximen Qing. Because the spy reported that Ximen Qing had returned to Liangshan River and then disappeared mysteriously, but he went to Tokyo.

It was confirmed that it was Ximen Qing's fault. Zhao Yunzhen was extremely angry and wanted to tear Ximen Qing apart. However, at this time, Ximen Qing was already on the way back to Bazhou, so he could only complain.

Ximen Qing went to Bazhou alone, Zhang Yu continued his journey in the world, while Qing Lian returned to Emei and planned to accompany his mother, and Li Shishi went to Liangshan and planned to settle there.

This trip to Tokyo was a great reward for Ximen Qing. Zhao Kai ascended the throne and established a wall for Zhao Yunzhen to the greatest extent, making him breathless and bought time for his side to a great extent.

Ximen Qing fully believed that if Zhao Yunti wanted to take over Tokyo City, it would be a delusion without more than half a year or a year. And this half a year would be enough to develop the Liangshan headquarters and the Liangshan army in Bazhou to a powerful level.

In Bazhou, the Liangshan army was constantly training and recruiting soldiers. In Liangshan headquarters, Ximen Qing had already transferred Song Jiang, Yang Zhi, Jie Zhen, Jie Bao, Zhang Heng, Zhang Shun, Tong Wei, Tong Meng and others, plus the original brothers such as Zhang Qing and Li Kui, to protect the safety of Liangshan headquarters.

Both places are developing, and the effect can be imagined.
