A manifesto shocked the world, and countless people turned their eyes to the capital and the two vortex places in Jiangnan.

The manifesto jointly signed by Chu Yi and Zhang Shuye was like a thunder, spreading throughout the Song Dynasty almost in the shortest time and even spreading to the Song Dynasty. Even the Great Liao, Jin, Xixia, Dali and other countries also received news.

Beijing

With a bang, this was already broken into countless vases today. Even the eunuchs and palace maids serving there lowered their heads like quails, wishing they could shrink their bodies into the corner, for fear of being seen by the angry emperor, so they used them as punching bags.

You should know that not long ago, an eunuch accidentally sprinkled a few drops of tea while serving tea, and was beaten to death by the angry emperor.

Zhao Ji was full of anger and roared with a ferocious face: "Where is the prince, why haven't he come over yet? Could it be that he really wants to rebel?"

In front of Zhao Ji, Cai Jing, with a bitter look on his face, said to Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty, the eunuch who was summoned has only left the palace for a while. The prince's mansion is outside the palace. No matter how fast it is, it will take at least one cup of tea to enter the palace."

With a swagger of her sleeve, Zhao Ji looked at Cai Jing and said, "Cai Qing, you have read all the manifesto of the rebel Chu Yi and Zhang Shuye. How credible do you think the content of the manifesto is?"

Cai Jing naturally knew what Zhao Ji was concerned about. If Chu Yi and Zhang Shuye rebelled, Zhao Ji might not be too worried. Although Chu Yi and Zhang Shuye rebelled would definitely bring great harm to the Song Dynasty, it was not so easy to win the world of the Song Dynasty.

But if Chu Yi, Zhang Shuye and others did not rebel directly, but instead supported the prince to take the throne, then the Song Dynasty would be really in danger.

Zhao Ji himself knew that no matter whether in the royal family or in the civil and military affairs of the court, I wonder how many officials regarded him as a foolish monarch. If Chu Yi, Zhang Shuye and others rebelled, some officials would stand up to resist Chu Yi, Zhang Shuye and others out of their loyalty to the Song Dynasty.

However, if the prince climbs up and calls, some officials may directly welcome the prince to the throne.

So what Zhao Ji was worried about was not the rebellion of Chu Yi, Zhang Shuye and others, but whether the prince had any contact with Chu Yi, Zhang Shuye and others.

Cai Jing looked embarrassed and hesitated: "Your Majesty, I really dare not assert this matter. It is said that the prince is weak in nature and it is unlikely that he has such courage, but..."

Although he didn't say it directly, a twist made Zhao Ji frown. Obviously, Zhao Ji also had the same concern, because he was not afraid of ten thousand, but he was afraid of something.

Zhao Heng is indeed weak-hearted, but the throne has always been touching. If there is hope, would Zhao Heng not be moved?

Looking at Zhao Ji's appearance, Cai Jing smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Your Majesty has already sent an order to block the capital. Even if the prince is willing, he will not think of it. Besides, the prince has always been filial and the possibility of joining the rebels like Chu Yi and Zhang Shuye is too low."

With a cold snorting, Zhao Ji said, "I hope that the rebellious son is as Cai Qing said."

Prince's Mansion

As Zhao Huan as Zhao Ji's eldest son, as long as nothing unexpected happens, Zhao Ji will definitely succeed Zhao Ji as the emperor of the Song Dynasty in a hundred years.

Now Zhao Huan has been named the crown prince by Zhao Ji and has opened a government office outside the palace. However, Zhao Huan has always been weak and does not care much about things in the court. After all, if Zhao Ji is not surprised, there will be no problem with living for at least twenty or thirty years.

Zhao Huan was also a royal family, so he knew very well that although he was the crown prince now, if he was too high-profile, the first person to deal with him was his emperor. Since he could not see hope of taking over the throne in a short period of time, don’t fight for anything wrong, otherwise, he would probably not even be able to keep the position of the crown prince by then.

On this day, Zhao Huan was practicing calligraphy in the mansion. His father and emperor liked calligraphy and painting. As a prince, if Zhao Huan wanted to please Zhao Ji, it was necessary to write well.

A burst of rapid footsteps came, and Zhao Huan, who was concentrating on calligraphy, couldn't help but frowned. When he looked up, he saw that it was Geng Nanzhong. Geng Nanzhong had been by the prince for many years and could be regarded as Zhao Huan's confidant.

When he saw Geng Nanzhong, Zhao Huan's originally frowning frown loosely and said, "Sir, is there something wrong?"

Geng Nanzhong had a look of panic on his face and said to Zhao Huan: "Your Highness, the big thing is wrong, and the big thing is wrong."

Zhao Huan was slightly stunned, with a look of confusion on his face. He has always been low-key and never participated in the affairs of the court. The prince can be said to be quite unpresented. He is like this, so why would there be any trouble?

"Sir, what happened?"

At this moment, the manifesto from Qingjun's side had spread all over the capital. It can be said that the streets and alleys were well known. Geng Nanzhong informed the prince Zhao Huan of the rumors in the market one by one.

As a result, after hearing Geng Nanzhong's words, Zhao Huan's face suddenly turned pale, his body shook and his butt sat there, and said with a little panic: "How could this happen? How could this happen? I don't even know what Chu Yi looks like, so how could I collude with him..."

After reacting, Zhao Huan grabbed Geng Nanzhong's hand and said, "Sir, save me, sir, save me."

Geng Nanzhong shook his head and said, "Crown Prince, what kind of virtue is that I can do? How can I save the prince?"

"Father... He will definitely not believe it, he will definitely..."

Zhao Huan encouraged himself with a panic look on his face. Now he could only hope that Zhao Ji would not believe the content of the manifesto that cleared the emperor.

After looking at Zhao Huan, Geng Nanzhong took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, if it is not bad as I expected, I am afraid that your Majesty will summon the prince into the palace. The prince will not justify anything here, just cry continuously."

Zhao Huan looked at Geng Nanzhong with a puzzled look, obviously not understanding why Geng Nanzhong refused to let him defend himself.

Geng Nanzhong said: "Crown Prince, you are a father and son to Your Majesty. As the saying goes, father and son are in love. As long as the prince defends his excuses and keeps crying, His Majesty will be soft-hearted. Besides, the prince thinks that even if you defend him, what does Your Majesty think in his heart? Will it change because of the prince's excuses?"

At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came, and a voice came and said, "Your Majesty is to summon the prince to the palace to see the emperor."

Zhao Huan's face turned pale, but he was still trying hard to control it. He walked out of the room slowly, and followed the team of people into the palace with great anxiety.

Zhao Huan couldn't help but feel a little worried when he saw the team of imperial guards surrounding his frame in the middle. He had never been surrounded by imperial guards like this in the past. Just from the actions of these imperial guards, he could see his father's attitude.

With infinite anxiety, Zhao Huan finally saw his father. Zhao Ji stared at Zhao Huan with a cold face, as if he wanted to see through Zhao Huan.

With a thud, Zhao Huan knelt in front of Zhao Ji and started crying loudly.

I have to say that Zhao Huan's actions made Zhao Ji stunned, and he was a little confused. However, when Zhao Ji saw that there was a soft look in his eyes, he snorted coldly: "Do you know what I have asked you to come?"

Zhao Huan lowered his head and cried bitterly, saying, "I don't know, I've been practicing calligraphy in the mansion..."

Zhao Ji grabbed a copy of the manifesto beside him and threw it to Zhao Heng and said, "You did a good thing!"

When Zhao Huan saw the content of the manifesto, his face changed drastically. His body shook, and he collapsed on the ground, looking frightened, and muttered to himself: "How is this possible? How can they be? How can they be innocent of others out of thin air!"

Seeing Zhao Huan's reaction, Zhao Ji actually didn't believe in his heart that Zhao Huan had any connection with Chu Yi, but as an emperor, it was a common problem that he was seriously ill. Even if reason told him that the content in the manifesto was unreliable, as an emperor, his suspicion made him test Zhao Huan, even if this was his eldest son who had grown up since childhood.

When he walked to Zhao Huan, Zhao Ji helped Zhao Huan up and said with a smile: "The emperor's son has always been pure filial and rebel against Chu Yi, and Zhang Shuye and others wanted a manifesto to separate the relationship between us father and son, but it was a delusion."

As he said that, Zhao Ji patted Zhao Huan on the shoulder and said, "Your mother often talks about you these days. This time you enter the palace, so you can stay in the palace for a while and accompany your mother."

Zhao Huan said without hesitation: "The child misses his mother too, thank you for your father."

Seeing Zhao Huan leave, Zhao Ji's face became gloomy. He looked at Cai Jing, Wang Fu, Li Bangyan, Gao Qiu and others standing next to him, and said in a deep voice: "The family of the Qing family, the traitors Chu Yi, Zhang Shuye and others are launching troops to rebel. Can you have any countermeasures?"

Everyone looked at each other, but finally their eyes fell on the old god who was sitting there.

Zhao Ji took a deep breath and said to Master Zhong: "Zhong Qing's family, this disaster is so great that the old general can protect the country and quell the rebellion for me."

Zhong Shidao slowly opened his eyes and avoided Zhao Ji and said, "Your Majesty raises troops for a thousand days and uses troops for a while. The old minister is willing to lead his troops and horses to eliminate the rebellious ministers for Your Majesty."

After hearing what Mr. Zhong said, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Gao Qiu praised: "There is an old general who came out, and the Zong family army who returned from the northwest, it is impossible to imagine that the rebellion between Chu Yi and Zhang Shuye will be suppressed in ten months."

Master Zhong just glanced at Gao Qiu indifferently, which made Gao Qiu shudder and subconsciously closed his mouth.

Zhao Ji held Mr. Zhong's hand and said as if he was the only pillar: "I have entrusted my family to you."

Master Zhong took a step back, bowed to Zhao Ji, and turned around and left the hall.

After Zhong Shidao left, Zhao Ji's expression changed slightly, and he looked at a large eunuch and said, "I ordered you to be the military supervisor. I hope you can work together with the general to quell the rebellion."

Liang Fangping stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely be optimistic about the Zhong family army for Your Majesty."

After making arrangements, Zhao Ji waved his hand as if he was tired and said, "Let's retreat, I'm tired."

The land of Jiangnan

A figure rushed into the commander's tent with anger, threw a manifesto in front of Chu Yi, almost pointing at Chu Yi and cursing: "Chu thief, how dare you harm me like this? I, Zhang Shuye, have a lifelong reputation and ruined your hands. I... I have fought with you..."

While speaking, Zhang Shuye couldn't help but pounce on Chu Yi, as if he wanted to fight against Chu Yi.

However, Chu Yi, who was sitting there, just put down the book in his hand, raised his head, gently brushed his sleeves, and a gentle force pushed the angry Zhang Shuye out and sat on the seat next to him.

Uncle Zhang's face turned red and wanted to stand up, but was pressed down by Zong Ze on the side.

Zong Ze's military strength was a little stronger than that of Zhang Shuye, so he naturally pressed Zhang Shuye steadily.

Zhang Shuye glared at Zong Ze and said, "Zong Rulin, you are absolved of being a minister of the Song Dynasty. He actually colluded with the Chu thieves to do such a traitor..."

Zong Ze was not annoyed, but just looked at Zhang Shuye and said, "Governor Zhang, don't be annoyed, we are just acting under the secret edict of the prince. How could there be such a great rebellion?"

Zhang Shuye couldn't help but point at Zong Ze, so angry that he couldn't speak.

At the same time, a general in armor walked into the commander's tent. Who would be Lin Chong?

Only Lin Chong could hear him say to Chu Yi: "Grandmaster, Xuzhou City has been removed."

Chu Yi raised his eyebrows. It was a major city in Xuzhou. It can be said that he took Xuzhou City and was one step closer to the capital. I thought I would have to delay in Xuzhou City for a few days, but I didn't expect that the huge Xuzhou City would be so unbearable and was knocked down in one go.

Uncle Zhang looked at Lin Chong with a look of surprise and said in an instinctive manner: "How is that possible? Could it be that so many officers and soldiers in such a large Xuzhou City have been dead?"

Lin Chong looked at Zhang Shuye and said, "The officials in the city did not resist at all. My soldiers in the attacking city easily took down Xuzhou City without any damage. At this moment, the officials in the city were welcoming the Grand Commander into the city in Xuzhou City."

"Shameless, shameless person. I have been raising scholars for a hundred years in the Song Dynasty, but no official died in the country..."

Chu Yi couldn't help laughing, and when he passed by Zhang Shuye, he said, "Zhang Jizhong, you are afraid that you are wrong. This governor is not rebelling, let alone changing dynasties. Why do those officials die in the country?"

Seeing Chu Yi laughing and passing by him, Uncle Zhang felt like he was lost.

In Xuzhou City, the city gates were wide open, and a team of officials were looking forward to the outside of the city. As Chu Yi and others appeared, the officials showed joy on their faces.

Riding on the tall horse and looking gray, Zhang Shuye looked at the officials below and felt that the smiles of these people were so dazzling.
