Traveling through Yuhuatian, the start of the Sunflower Collection is complete

Song Dynasty, imperial palace.

The imperial palace of the Song Dynasty was extremely spacious and had a huge internal space. In terms of luxury, the imperial palace of the Song Dynasty was definitely the best in the entire Chinese dynasty.

Nothing but money!
The main halls of the palace are supported by various exquisite and gorgeous gilt columns. Above the columns are carved various pictures of dragons entering the clouds. Behind the columns are gauze curtains, and there are faint figures of people shaking behind them.

"Your Majesty, come and arrest me..."

"Here, here, Your Majesty didn't catch it, cluck, cluck..."

"Your Majesty, come here!"

……

Behind a large hall inside the palace, Song King Zhao Gou was blindfolded, chasing and laughing with a group of concubines and maidens.

In the hall, the orioles and swallows kept laughing, and the eunuch on the side stood with his head bowed, as if he had been accustomed to this scene for a long time.

In terms of extravagance, the current king of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou, can definitely be regarded as the best emperor of all the major dynasties in China. It is said that he is second only to Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty next door.

Even now in the middle of the year, he is still extravagant and lustful, hanging around the harem all day long playing with his concubines. Major affairs of the government are usually left to the Privy Council envoy Fan Zhongyan and Prime Minister Cai Jing and other ministers to handle on their behalf.

"Caught you!"

Zhao Gou suddenly took a beauty into his arms, then took off the eyeband, raised the beauty's fair chin and smiled: "Let me see where you can run now!"

The beauty's face turned red and she said coyly: "Since I have been caught by Your Majesty, then just let Your Majesty do whatever you want..."

This shy look made Zhao Gou's heart feel hot, so he leaned forward to kiss her.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from outside the palace: "Your Majesty, the Privy Council envoy Fan Gong and the Prime Minister are asking for an audience."

Being disturbed, Zhao Gou looked very unhappy and said impatiently: "If there is anything, let them discuss it by themselves. Don't disturb my interest!"

The messenger outside the palace looked troubled and said: "Gong Fan and the Prime Minister had a dispute over border matters and were unable to make the decision, so they came to discuss with the emperor..."

Hearing that it was about the border, Zhao Gou frowned slightly, and then he suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Let them in!"

After saying that, he waved to the female family members beside him, and they retreated knowingly.

Soon, footsteps sounded from outside the hall again.

Then several figures came in hand in hand. The first two people were none other than Privy Council envoy Fan Zhongyan and Prime Minister Cai Jing.

Ouyang Xiu, deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and others followed behind.

"I see you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone stepped forward and saluted Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou waved his hand to signal everyone to stand up, then looked at the leaders Fan Zhongyan and Cai Jing, and said calmly: "Tell me, what are you two arguing about?"

Cai Jing immediately stepped forward, raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, news just came from the border. Over at Wuguan, the commander of the Ming Dynasty's Western Expeditionary Army has disappeared. The commander of Wuguan, Guo Jing, has sent a message back to Beijing to ask for instructions on the next action."

"I propose that at this moment, when the Ming Dynasty's Western Expeditionary Army commander is missing and the army is leaderless, the Wuguan soldiers take the initiative to leave the city, catch the Ming army by surprise, repel the Ming army in one fell swoop, and demonstrate the power of the Song Dynasty."

"But Duke Fan did not agree to send troops, so a dispute broke out, so he came here to ask for your Majesty's instructions."

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Zhao Gou was stunned for a moment, and ignored what Cai Jing said later. Instead, he looked at Cai Jing doubtfully and asked: "The war is about to begin, and the coach of the Ming Dynasty's Western Expedition Army has disappeared? Do you know why?"

Cai Jing smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, this matter was done by Catcher and others."

"What did Zhu Xiawu do?"

Zhao Gou's eyes changed: "Could it be that Zhu Xiawu sneaked into the Ming Dynasty army and killed the commander of the Ming Dynasty's Western Expedition Army?"

Cai Jing nodded: "Yes, in order to repel the Ming army, Catcher and others carried out a beheading operation. They sneaked into the Ming army late at night and captured the two commanders of the Ming's Western Expeditionary Army, Sun Chengzong and Sun Chuanting."

"Just captured?"

Zhao Gou was a little dissatisfied: "Since the God Catcher can easily sneak into the Ming army and capture two people, why not just kill Convenience?"

Cai Jing said: "Your Majesty does not know something. This is the plan of Catcher and others. The purpose of capturing the commander of the Ming Dynasty's Western Expeditionary Army is actually to get rid of the Ming Dynasty's martial arts masters, such as the Ming Dynasty Martial King Yu Huatian and others."

Zhao Gou's eyes lit up and he said, "Zhaishen has a way to get rid of King Wu Yuhuatian?"

Cai Jing nodded: "For this battle, Catcher united several famous masters in the world, captured the two coaches of the Ming Dynasty's Western Expedition Army, and then went to Jingyan Palace to set up a dragnet and wait for Yu Huatian to take the bait."

"There is a careful plan to catch the gods and others. Yu Huatian and others will definitely die this time!"

"That's why I proposed that Guo Jing lead his troops out of the border and take advantage of this opportunity to repel the Ming army. Unexpectedly, he was opposed by Duke Fan..."

With that said, Cai Jing glanced at Fan Zhongyan next to him and said in a nonchalant manner.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gou also looked at Fan Zhongyan and frowned: "Mr. Fan, since the God Catcher has a way to get rid of Yuhuatian and also captured the two commanders of the Ming Dynasty's Western Expeditionary Army, now is the best opportunity to take the initiative. , Why does Duke Fan object to sending troops?"

Fan Zhongyan held his hands in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I heard that Yu Huatian is a strong martial artist with the best strength in China. Many martial arts masters have died in his hands."

"The main factor that determines the outcome of this battle between the Ming and Song dynasties lies in Yuhuatian and the martial arts masters under his command."

"It would be fine if he really died, but what if he didn't?"

Zhao Gou frowned: "Is Mr. Fan worried that Yu Huatian is still alive and will come to take revenge later?"

Fan Zhongyan nodded: "This is one of them."

"Secondly, the commander of the Ming Dynasty's Western Expeditionary Army is now missing, and the Ming army is leaderless. If the two commanders of the Ming Dynasty cannot come back, the Ming army will not be able to hold on for long and will retreat."

"In this case, we can just wait for the Ming army to retreat, so why should we order the Wuguan soldiers to send out troops to fight and cause more casualties?"

"If you insist on doing this, not only will the Wuguan officers and men increase their casualties, but the Ming army will also increase their casualties, which will intensify the hatred between the Ming and Song Dynasties and increase the possibility of another invasion in the future. This will not be worth the loss."

Fan Zhongyan explained carefully.

Hearing this, Zhao Gou nodded slightly, touched his chin and said, "What Mr. Fan said makes sense..."

Seeing this, Cai Jing became a little anxious and quickly said: "Your Majesty, I can guarantee that Yuhuatian will never come back. We don't have to worry about him coming back for revenge. If we don't take this opportunity to take the initiative to send troops, we will severely damage the Ming army." , if the Ming army is afraid, the Ming army will continue to attack the Song Dynasty in the future!"

"Besides, sending troops at this moment is not only famous, but it is also the best time to show off the power of Song Dynasty!"

Zhao Gou nodded again: "The Prime Minister's words are reasonable."

Everyone: "..."

Who do you listen to?

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Gou said: "Since what Fan Gong and the prime minister said are reasonable, it is better to wait for two more days to make sure that the Ming Dynasty's Western Expeditionary Army coach really cannot come back, and then let Wuguan coach Guo Jing lead the army Get out of the city and fight back against the Ming army."

Fan Zhongyan's expression changed slightly and he said: "Your Majesty, not only do you need to make sure that the Ming Dynasty's Western Expeditionary Army cannot come back, the most important thing is to make sure that the Ming Dynasty King Wu Yuhuatian is really dead. Otherwise, his strength is terrifying. , If we really come to take revenge in the future, our Song Dynasty will be unstoppable..."

"okay!"

There was a trace of impatience in Zhao Gou's eyes, and he waved his hand and said: "Fan Gong is too ambitious and has destroyed his own prestige. He is just a Yuhuatian. Although I have heard of his reputation, I am not afraid of him!"

"No matter how powerful he is, can he still be as good as my Song Dynasty's million-strong army?"

After saying that, Zhao Gou looked at Cai Jing and ordered: "Just do what I want. If the commander of the Ming army still hasn't come back in two days, then directly send troops to counterattack the Ming army and let other countries know how powerful our Song Dynasty is!" Cai Jing bowed his hands respectfully: "I obey your order."

Fan Zhongyan looked worried, but seeing that Zhao Gou was determined after eating the weight, he could only sigh helplessly, cupped his hands and said: "I obey the order!"

Zhao Gou waved his hand: "Okay, let's all get out!"

Everyone bowed and turned to leave.

Zhao Gou was also ready to call his group of beauties to continue playing.

But at this moment, there was another rush of footsteps outside the hall, followed by a man who rushed in with an anxious look on his face.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Something bad has happened..."

Zhao Gou paused and said angrily: "How brave! How is it appropriate to shout in my palace?"

"Come here! Pull me down and hit a hundred big boards first to rectify the country's laws!"

"His Majesty……"

The man's expression changed drastically, and he quickly begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, have mercy on me, something serious has really happened!"

Zhao Gou was unmoved and waved his hand, and two guards walked in, pulled the man up and were about to go out for torture.

Fan Zhongyan quickly stopped him and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you listen to what he said first? What big thing happened? If there are extenuating circumstances, please show your respect."

Zhao Gou frowned and didn't know much to say. He looked at the man and said in a deep voice, "Tell me, what happened? If you don't satisfy me, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The man cast a grateful look at Fan Zhongyan and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I just received news from Wuguan. This morning, the commander of Wuguan, Guo Jing, suddenly opened the door, raised his troops out of the city to surrender, and welcomed the Ming Dynasty's Western Expeditionary Army to enter the pass. Wuguan has been lost, Your Majesty!"

Everyone was shocked, Wuguan was lost? !
"What did you say?!"

Zhao Gou's expression also changed greatly, and he stared at the man: "Guo Jing surrendered? Wuguan was lost? How dare you deceive me?!"

The man said in fear: "I dare not deceive Your Majesty. This is indeed the urgent information that has just been sent from Wuguan. Almost half of the nearly one million troops in Wuguan surrendered following Guo Jing."

"Wuguan has been lost at this moment. The Ming army has marched in and is heading towards the capital. Your Majesty, please make plans in advance!"

wow-

There was an instant uproar.

Everyone's expressions changed drastically, they couldn't believe it at all.

Zhao Gou also swayed and almost fell to the ground. He kept muttering: "How could my army of one million surrender just like this? How could Wuguan be lost?!"

"No! It can't be true!"

"This can never be true, are you lying to me?!"

Zhao Gou's eyes were red, he stared at the person who sent the message, and roared: "Come here, take down this person who is deceiving the public with his monstrous words, and kill him immediately!"

"Your Majesty! I didn't lie to you!"

"Wuguan is really lost. This is the information we just received, or it was sent by people from the Six Gates. There is no way it is false!"

"Forgive me, Your Majesty..."

The man shouted anxiously, but seeing that Zhao Gou had no intention of taking back his life, two guards clamped him down and took him out of the hall to be executed.

chi, chi——

Suddenly, at this moment, two sounds of breaking through the air were heard, and then the two guards softened and fell down.

After a while, two red dots appeared between their eyebrows, with blood flowing out of them. It was obvious that some sharp weapon had penetrated their heads.

This sudden change shocked everyone again.

"There are assassins!"

"Someone! There are assassins!"

"Protect Your Majesty..."

After a brief silence, Fan Zhongyan and others' expressions changed dramatically, and they shouted loudly while looking around cautiously.

Zhao Gou was also frightened so much that his face turned pale and he stepped back repeatedly. But as soon as he took two steps back, he bumped into something, and he was so frightened that he jumped back.

He looked back and his expression suddenly changed: "Who are you?! Dare to break into my bedroom?!"

Fan Zhongyan and others were also horrified. Looking back, they saw a handsome young man wearing a silver-white python robe appearing on Zhao Gou's throne.

The young man has long hair tied up in a bun and has a graceful demeanor. He has a sword at his waist. He looks like he is walking out of a painting, which makes people subconsciously feel humble. In a daze, he temporarily loses his will.

But thinking of the special nature of this place, everyone immediately became alert and looked at the man warily.

"Who are you? How dare you break into the palace?!" Cai Jing shouted with deep regret.

"Noisy!"

The young man raised his eyes and glanced at him, snorted coldly. Cai Jing's face instantly turned pale. As if he had been hit hard, he flew backwards, vomiting blood and fell to the ground.

Everyone was shocked again.

But the young man did not continue to do anything. Instead, he looked at the buildings in the palace curiously and said with emotion: "The Song Dynasty is rich, and it really deserves its reputation. Even this palace is so luxurious..."

"Who are you? Why do you want to break into my palace of the Song Dynasty?" Fan Zhongyan frowned, stared at the young man, and asked in a deep voice.

He knew that this person could break into the palace silently without them noticing at all, so this person must be the rumored martial arts master.

When facing this kind of person, panic is useless. You must first find a way to stabilize him and ask him clearly about his origin and purpose.

The young man looked at Fan Zhongyan with a hint of curiosity and admiration in his eyes, and then said: "Are you Fan Zhongyan, the Privy Councilor of the Song Dynasty?"

"I am just, I wonder who you are?" Fan Zhongyan said solemnly.

"Worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joys later!"

The young man sighed with emotion and looked at Fan Zhongyan with a hint of respect in his eyes. Then he stood up and bowed his hands and said, "My King Wu of the Ming Dynasty Yuhuatian, Mr. Fan is polite."

"Yu Huatian?!" Everyone suddenly changed their colors.

"Are you Yu Huatian, King Wu of the Ming Dynasty?!" Fan Zhongyan also shrank his pupils and looked at Yu Huatian in disbelief.

Yuhuatian nodded and said, "That's me."

After receiving Yu Huatian's recognition, everyone was immediately frightened and took several steps back. They looked at Yu Huatian in fear, horror and disbelief, and were speechless for a moment.

They were still talking about Yuhuatian just now, but they didn't expect that this person actually appeared in front of them alive, and everyone couldn't react for a while.

However, their immediate performance clearly expressed their fear of Yuhuatian.

When Yuhuatian saw this, he couldn't help but be speechless.

Is my name so scary in Song Dynasty? (End of chapter)
