Zhao Deji laughed out loud. Even before he ascended the throne, everyone had not heard him laugh so loudly. Zhao Deji said in ecstasy: "Quick, get ready, we will personally welcome you at the city gate."
When the Eunuch of palace maid made his move, everyone immediately took off the steel armor on his body and put on the Emperor's yellow robe and head. Then, with the imperial umbrella in hand, Zhao Deji walked over to personally welcome Yue Pengju at the city gate.
At the city gate, Wu Zhan was already waiting, accompanying the emperor. Once they walked in, the city gate was opened. At this time, Di Ruwen and Yue Pengju were kneeling on the muddy ground, shouting, "This subject has come late to save you."
Zhao Deji held the two of them up, grabbing their muddy hands, he could not help but cry out loud.
The crowd had never heard the Son of Heaven wail like this. They all felt sad and sorry for him. After crying for a while, Zhao Deji then said: "We have undergone such a huge change, we will definitely try to help you improve yourself, reform your body, and rise our Da Song."
When Yue Pengju heard this, it was also the first time he saw him cry like this. His heart became excited, and he bowed again: "This subject will do his best to be loyal to Your Majesty."
Zhao Deji helped him up: "Both of you, quickly go to the Inner Court to rest."
When the Son of Heaven summoned the two of them into the palace, it was naturally a great favor and an exception.
Naturally, the two of them did not dare refuse and immediately entered.
Some palace maid s had already sent over large plates of steamed buns, so Zhao Deji immediately replied, "Pengju is hungry. "There's no need to be so courteous, hurry up and invite us to eat."
He changed the form of address to "Pengju," and it was even more cordial than before.
Along the way, Yue Pengju was extremely hungry, but, although he was worried for his wife and son's safety, when Zhao Deji saw his son's gaze, he did not talk about anything else, and only said: "Not only Peng, Rong Er has also made a huge contribution this time. We will definitely reward you heavily with five hundred gold and five thousand silver."
After Yue Pengju heard this, he thought that his wife and children would definitely be safe and sound in the harem.
Seeing that he had eaten his fill, Zhao Deji said, "Although Miao Liu's second thief has been expelled, Wu Zhan is the worst in the army.
When Feng Yi heard that, he immediately turned hostile towards his distant relatives, he had swore that he would be rich forever, and upon seeing this, he anxiously looked towards Di Ruwen, hoping for Di Ruwen's forgiveness. How would Di Ruwen dare say that? Although he knew that the Son of Heaven's actions were against his words, Wu Zhan's secret relationship with Miao Liu was a fact. He only turned his gaze to one side.
Feng Yi himself did not dare to plead for leniency, and knew that the emperor was suspicious that Wu Zhan had colluded with the Young Eunuch, if he were to plead for leniency, not only would he fail, he would even lose the chance of being favored by the emperor in the future.
Yue Pengju naturally did not know that the Emperor had promised Wu Zhan "wealth" and also suspected that Miao Liu Bing had colluded with the Golden Man. If he left Wu Zhan in the army, it would be equivalent to planted a spy from the Golden Man.
"Wu Zhan is vicious, I'm just afraid that nothing will happen."
"It would be inconvenient to strike while the iron is hot in the future."
Zhao Deji said excitedly: "That's good."
After he finished speaking, he brought Feng Yi and two guards out of the city and entered the army. Feng Yi was very favored and trusted by the emperor. Originally, he and the others did not even care about Wang Boyan, much less the generals. However, they did not dare to call out to Yue Pengju and Han Zhongliang, and only maintained their respect and caution.
Along the way, Yue Pengju didn't want Feng Yi to leak any information, so he said to Feng Yi: "This time, Senior Officer Feng will eliminate his parents righteously."
Feng Yi had already thought it through, and seeing that the imperial army had completely taken control of the Lian City, he could only protect his own honor and fortune, and said repeatedly: "My family will definitely listen to the orders."
At this time, Wu Zhan was happily returning to the army, having a beautiful dream of becoming a rich man. Seeing Yue Pengju and Feng Yi coming together, without a doubt, he immediately welcomed them warmly.
Yue Pengju laughed, "Grand Commandant Wu, lower official has something in common with you."
Wu Zhan saw that Yue Pengju's remaining eight hundred soldiers and horses, although they were standing in the mud, they did not look afraid at all.
He extended his hand and shook Yue Pengju's hand. Yue Pengju smiled and held his hand. Wu Zhan's heart ached with pain, beads of perspiration trickled down his forehead. He bowed, and with a kick, Yue Pengju flipped him over onto the muddy ground, stepping on his back and taking out the blade on his waist.
Several guards immediately came up to him and tied him up.
Seeing this, everyone was stunned, Yue Pengju shouted: "Wu Zhan has secretly dated Miao Liu, I shall follow His Majesty's orders and capture him. All of you are loyal soldiers, so you were unaware of the inside information, yet you let bygones be bygones, and each of you will be rewarded with eight kungfu. "
A few of Wu Zhan's trusted aides were deployed, so they naturally could not accept this outcome. However, due to Yue Pengju's military might, they did not dare to oppose him. Wu Zhan turned to Feng Yi and said hoarsely: "You are my relative, you wanted to protect my honor and wealth, why are you saying this now?"
Feng Yi had no choice but to say: "This is the order of the emperor, it cannot be done by yourself."
Wu Zhan knew that he was about to die so he scolded loudly, "Zhao Deji, this lone husband thief, if he did not save his father and brother and instead ascended the throne himself, his reputation would not be right and he would only be able to provoke Da Jin's repeated attacks on my Da Song. This guy was disloyal, and heavily valued Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan. He did not listen to the imperial government, and when he escaped, he was even unbridled and lost his temper, becoming impotent. What qualifications does a bastard who is inferior to an eunuch have to become the emperor of the Da Song? He was neither a man nor a woman, and in the future, he would die for sure. "This fellow has committed many evil deeds, is vicious in the heart, goes against his words, and is fickle in nature. All of you have served him with your lives and will not have a good ending in the future …"
Feng Yi felt that he could not continue listening to his scolding. With just a glance, one of the guards raised his blade and immediately killed Wu Zhan. Originally, Yue Pengju wanted to bring Wu Zhan back to the trial, but seeing Feng Yi making the first move, he could not say anything. Feng Yi had already had his head cut off and stored in a box, bringing it back to report.
Just as Yue Pengju was about to kill Wu Zhan, Lv Yihao had already led Zhang Jun and the other generals to the palace. The civil and military officials at this time saw the Son of Heaven and witnessed the face of the heavens.
The little emperor had already stood up from his throne. Following the instructions of the empress dowager, he knelt in front of his father and said, "Your servant is still young and is unable to take care of national affairs.
Zhao Deji hugged his son, "In the future, I shall imitate my grandfather and pass the throne to you."
Your Highness, lead by Lv Yihao, civil officials and military generals called out "Long live". Amidst such earth-shattering cheers, Zhao Deji officially reopened the door, and only then did he once again realize the majesty of the Son of Heaven.
Lv Yihao, Zhang Jun, Han Zhongliang and the other Wing Wang s naturally became Zhao Deji's favorite targets. After he comforted the three of them, he said, "Everyone has a reward for's return."
The three of them thanked him and left.
After the courtier had withdrawn from the imperial court, Zhao Deji was no longer sleepy and had arranged tea and wine with the rest of the palace maid to celebrate at the back of the palace. At this point, he received a report that Wu Zhan had been killed. He laughed out loud towards the sky, and Wu Jinnu and the others all congratulated him.
Not long later, Yue Pengju and Feng Yi returned to the palace.
Zhao Deji did not avoid her, and personally called for Yue Pengju at the back of the hall.
Just as Yue Pengju kneeled down and saluted, he immediately helped him up and said in a deep voice, "Pengju is really our star of life, he has saved us from calamity many times. This time, you managed to kill another traitor, Wu Zhan, you are truly a pillar of our nation, a pillar of our nation! "
Yue Pengju immediately said: "This subject also relies on His Majesty Hong Fu."
His gaze could not help but look at the people gathered at the back of the palace. Zhao Deji knew what he was thinking, and said: "Pengju, when Rong Er went to the Acropolis Temple to protect the emperor, he was unfortunately scattered by the chaotic army. Now, we have already sent an army to track his whereabouts."
Yue Pengju panicked and asked anxiously: "Where is Wen Long?"
Zhao Deji let out a long sigh. "There's a traitor within the palace, and it's precisely Wu Zhan who colluded with him personally and brought the child out of the city. Now that the whereabouts of the child and Rong Er are unknown, we have already sent three large armies out to search …"
Yue Pengju could not hold in his anger any longer, he almost spat out blood. Ignoring the etiquette of the emperor, he turned around and walked away, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I need to immediately go find my wife and children."
Zhao Deji looked at him as he retreated quickly and sat on the chair, mumbling to himself, "Even though the world is peaceful, Rong Er is not at ease, what should we do?"
Wu Jinnu, who was standing by the side, immediately consoled her: "Madame Yue is extremely loyal to her mother and son, and also to the whole world.
Zhang Yingying also said, "The Sacred Body is the national foundation. Now, I hope that Lord Yue can save Madame Yue and her son … "
Zhao Deji naturally knew that the two were speaking nonsense. He relied on Yue Pengju to save his master, but was unable to protect Yue Pengju's wife and children.
The imperial harem was also in a mess.
The empress dowager couldn't sit still either. Tianwei's eyes were hazy with tears as she replied, "Since Madame Yue entrusted her son to me, what should I do?"
The empress dowager was worried for Hua Rong and her son's safety, and was even more worried that her secret hidden in the crown would be leaked. Now that Miao Liu Armament had lost and Zhao Deji had revived, if the crown's secret were to be leaked, it would be a huge disaster. However, only she and Tian Wei knew about this. They didn't even dare to discuss it with Zhao Deji and were so anxious that they almost fainted.
Tian Wei anxiously held onto Auntie and said with a trembling voice, "Auntie, I want to personally go out of the city to look for him."
The Empress Dowager shook her head. "No, you are a weak woman. Where can you find it?"
"Lord Yue has done a great service to protect our country, but we cannot protect our own wife and children. Furthermore, before Madame Yue left the city, he repeatedly warned me to protect Wen Long, and now that he's gone missing right under my nose, I can't sit and wait … "
While they were talking, the palace maid informed the emperor that he had arrived.
The empress dowager and Tianwei couldn't continue their discussion, so they could only force themselves to calm down. Zhao Deji led a group of palace maid in greeting to the empress dowager. The empress dowager helped her nephew up, causing Zhao Deji to say gratefully, "This time it's all thanks to Auntie."
