Chapter 1086 Why did His Majesty rebel?
There was already a mess in the palace.
There were only a few eunuchs who swept the dynasty in the previous dynasty, but there was not much chaos, but the harem was completely different.
You should know that the people living here are all the palace maids, eunuchs and concubines who have little knowledge. They have not been frightened like this for decades. The battles that appeared in front of the imperial city and the palace gates and the constant screams of screams scared them all. At this time, all they wanted was to escape.
However, the palace was deeply invaded, how could they escape? So, when Sun Tu led people to break into the harem with blood, they saw hundreds of eunuchs and palace maids running around like headless flies, especially when they saw Sun Tu and others breaking in like fierce gods, they screamed constantly, and they were like a frightened rabbit, completely losing control.
This scene made Sun Tu's face darker. As he waved his hand and ordered, the soldiers behind him rushed forward, raised their swords to scold them, and then controlled the scene, making the hundreds of eunuchs and others kneel down and dared not scream. However, the fear in their hearts became deeper, which made them kneel and tremble, and they didn't even dare to breathe in their breath. Especially as if they were resisting Sun Tu's horse coming to them, many people almost fainted.
This made Sun Tu not even get the answer he wanted, and it was not until the fifth eunuch who was asked by him that he had a little reaction.
"I'll ask you, where is the emperor now?"
"Good luck to the emperor... I don't know anything..." The man subconsciously begged for mercy first, and then he seemed to understand the meaning of the words and stumbling: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty has been in the Taimiao last night, and later, it seemed that he went back to the bedroom..."
When Sun Tu heard this, he raised his eyebrows. Zhao Ji, who had never endured hardship, spent the whole night in Taimiao? In this way, his judgment was indeed good. He knew everything today, or Li Gang and others' plans were approved by him. It was just because he had no idea that he ran to Taimiao to meet his ancestors last night, hoping that the ancestors of the Zhao family's ancestors could bless him. However, at present, these ancestors were not powerful enough.
Sun Tu's face first showed a disdainful sneer, and then it turned into a cold frost: "Gather everyone together, watch and let one go. You, take me to the bedroom to meet the emperor." It refers to the eunuch in front of him who could reply.
To be honest, this was the first time Sun Tu entered the harem. He was extremely unfamiliar with the environment here, and he didn't know where the emperor's bedroom was, so he naturally needed to find a guide to lead the way.
"Yes..." The eunuch was smart. After calming down, he quickly agreed with a flattering smile, and even obediently took the reins of Sun Tu's mount and led him straight forward. The people around him were forced to stop being stopped by the soldiers at this moment and stopped running and screaming. Then many people secretly focused on the eunuch with strange eyes, including envy and deep contempt, which was completely a betrayal of the official family.
However, the eunuch no longer cared about anything else. At this time, he only thought about pleasing Sun Tu so that he could survive, so he seemed to work very hard. Not only did he accelerate his pace, he even introduced Sun Tu to the use of some buildings along the way like a tour guide: "There is Jingxinzhai, which is the palace where His Majesty usually cultivates his body and cultivates his character, reads and paints, and the other side is the Imperial Garden, and there is also..."
Sun Tu followed his guidance and found that Zhao Ji was really living a very comfortable and elegant life. Not only did he have a place for him to write, paint, appreciate flowers and watch stones in his harem, but there was also a large Cuju field and a polo field, which specifically allowed him to have fun with eunuchs and palace servants, or favored officials such as Gao Qiu in his spare time. He was really full of culture and style and did not delay anything.
In this way, Zhao Ji is really one of the few emperors in the world who can live and enjoy life. The only thing they don’t know is how to be a good emperor, and this is also his biggest sin.
"Master Sun, this is the bedroom." The little eunuch's words interrupted Sun Tu's thoughts. Following the direction of the other party's finger, Sun Tu saw a beautiful and luxurious palace standing in front.
This bedroom looks very wide, with more than one acre of land, and the decoration materials are extremely exquisite. The wood of the portal beams and pillars is the best rosewood, and the bricks and tiles are mainly white marble and carved and carved. It is really beautiful. From Sun Tu's perspective, the cost of building the palace in front of him is probably millions of yuan, which does not include the furniture and other items inside, nor does it include the labor costs during construction.
But even the precious and luxurious palaces could not protect the people inside at this time. Sun Tu just lifted the reins and controlled the horse to walk up the steps and came to the closed palace gate. With a gesture, the soldiers who were also surprised and thrust quickly, and the door of the bedroom, which was not intended to be reliable was knocked open, revealing the more luxurious and dazzling furniture ornaments inside, which also made the men and women who had already become frightened birds scream.
Since Zhao Ji learned that the imperial city had started early this morning, he hurried back to the harem from Taimiao and hid in the bedroom designed by himself. On the left and right, he was surrounded by seven or eight concubines he favored. Without knowing what was going on outside, these people kept hiding here, trembling and begging for blessing from his ancestors.
Now, as the palace gate was knocked open, Zhao Ji's heartstring finally broke completely. Amid the screams of the women beside him, he screamed in shock. His body became soft and he fell down from the wide and soft imperial couch. He was so embarrassed that he could not have the slightest decency of being a king?
And when he struggled to look up and faced Sun Tu's faint gaze, Zhao Ji was so scared that he trembled all over, unable to even say a complete sentence: "You...you..."
In fact, when the gate of the bedroom was so rudely opened, Zhao Ji had already guessed who won the accident in the end. But when the facts were as he thought, the impact was still astonishingly great, almost scaring his courage. At this time, he had only one thought in his mind, that was, regret. If he had known this, he would rather be a puppet in the palace, at least he would be in peace with his life, and his life would be pretty good. As for whether he had real power, it was really nothing compared to his life.
The fear and regret in his heart made Zhao Ji weak. He just collapsed on the ground, and he didn't even have the courage to look up at Sun Tu in front of him. It seemed that such an escape could protect himself. However, the sound of horse hooves still broke his last fantasy, and Sun Tu rode his horse directly into the bedroom.
This is something that no one has ever done before. Even Zhao Ji, the emperor, and his ancestors, had never tried riding a horse in the harem, let alone riding a horse directly into the bedroom. Moreover, there were still some blood on the horse's hooves, so along the way, they left red and black hoof prints on the white ground of the bedroom, which was breathtaking.
Just as Sun Tu was about to come to Zhao Ji, looking down at his king with a condescending attitude. At this moment, it was like the moment when the identities of both sides were exchanged. A woman suddenly stood up and stopped the trembling emperor and everyone. She looked at Sun Tu hard and shouted: "Sun Tu, you are so brave! As a minister of the Song Dynasty, she dared to break through the palace and threaten the emperor. How could she have the appearance of a minister?"
The words of Dayi Lingran were spoken loudly by a petite woman, and her power was much worse after all. But this was the only thing in the bedroom that dared to stand up and accuse Sun Tu and slashed his spirit. The other women were even more scared and buried their heads deeply, not daring to make any sound.
Sun Tu looked at the bold woman with some surprise, and after a moment, he started to laugh again.
In fact, the woman's eyes were full of fear, but for some reason, she actually plucked up the courage to stand up. With this, she would be stronger than everyone else present, including the Emperor of the Song Dynasty with a high status.
At the same time, he also understood that the other party was pretending to use this distinction between a monarch and a minister to put pressure on himself, so that he would not dare to do more excessive things, and even directly dismissed and confessed because of some concerns. After all, such a drama was not gone before. Even at this time, Zhao Ji was still a king. As a minister, he felt a little awe in his heart.
Unfortunately, her wishful thinking was destined to be unable to make a comeback, because Sun Tu had no other officials' awe of the emperor's power, and he was not even angry. He just smiled slightly and waved his hand. A soldier came up and dragged the brave concubine aside. Then, he rode his horse back again, until he was almost about to stick to Zhao Ji, and then stopped and looked at the other party: "Your Majesty, I have only one thing to ask when I entered the palace today."
Feeling the momentum like a mountain, Zhao Ji's body trembled even more violently, like a bleak dead leaves in the autumn wind, and his two rows of teeth kept creaking and fighting. After a while, he asked in a trembling voice: "What are you...what are you going to ask?"
"I just want to ask Your Majesty, why do you want to rebel?" Sun Tu said an extremely absurd question word by word, but no one at the scene dared to raise any doubts about it.
Isn’t the emperor’s rebellion his own rebellion? This is obviously a paradox that is extremely absurd. But today, Sun Tu’s question is so correct and natural, and it also makes Zhao Ji unable to give the answer for a while.
