Chapter 129 The Empty City of Yingdu
After Yuejiao became Ling Yin, he established Gongzi Xi as the queen, took sole control of the military and political power, established a new policy, ordered a hundred officials, and ordered a political order at every move, degraded and imprisoned the courtiers and clans who did not obey the order, and replaced them with his own people;
The name of his wolf ambition is confirmed.
No matter how he writes in later generations, he will inevitably leave a heavy stroke.
The entire government and the opposition seemed to be calm under Yuejiao's prison country, and the courtiers of the family could not escape, but they were all in fear.
The sky over Yingdu is always shrouded in suffocating clouds.
"Elder Li, are we really going to let Ruo Ao Yuejiao usurp power like this?" Zhao Hou of the next dynasty asked Elder Li in the lead.
The old man, who had always laughed, had no smile today, and looked at him indifferently and raised his white eyebrows, his eyes showed a little bit of time, and he said in a deep voice, "Now that Zhao Hou can still get on the horse, can he dare to call a battle with my first warrior ?......of Great Chu."
When Zhao Hou heard this, he was about to draw his sword, but Li Lao gently pressed the hilt of his sword and said to him, "I know that Zhao Hou's blood and qi have not diminished back then, but now Chu Jing is no longer the time ......when Ling Yin was there."
When the word "Ling Yin" was mentioned, everyone looked deep and knew it.
knows that what Li Lao is talking about is not the current "Ling Yin".
Li Lao continued, "Not to mention the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, the Tiger Ben Forbidden Army, plus the two parts of the Ruoao Clan, nearly 160,000 soldiers and horses are in his hands. ”
Then he sighed heavily, "The Cheng clan, the Pan clan has also been expelled by him, just you and me, the Li clan, the Zhao clan, all the clans combined, and there is no one Ruo Ao and one of him, but now it is a blessing of heaven to be able to protect themselves, how can we fight?"
The answer is no.
Zhao Hou frowned, but he was unwilling, with a kind of anger that had nowhere to vent, he pushed his sword back into its sheath, "Then we will allow him to sit on the throne like this and proclaim himself Ling Yin?"
"Does he want to be Ling Yin, or does he want to be the king?"
"Or are they going to be occupied!"
"I, Chu State, just change the clan Ruo Ao directly!"
Hearing this, Li Lao took his hands, but looked deeply at the direction of the palace, and said slowly, "The death of the king made Yin Xin die, even if Ao Ziliang was helpless, he was dying of anger, what can we do! At this time, I only hope that the princess is still in the world, and there is still a glimmer of hope in my Chu country......" The words fell, and he stepped into the carriage of the Li Mansion and left.
Including Wang Yin, there were almost mournful voices, especially Wang Yin, who was a student and supporter like a son, "I don't know when the colt will return?
Zhao Hou was also silent when he heard this.
Those who are on the horses are on the horses, and those who are on the chariots are on the chariots......
This Chu Palace is no longer a place where they can talk at will, and there are Yue Jiao's eyes and ears everywhere.
At this moment, many people are looking forward to the fact that the woman they are not optimistic about falls into Longtan and is still alive, and comes back alive, bringing back the attached horse, bringing back Sun Hou, and bringing back reinforcements to drive away the evil wolves in the country.
The old man numbly watched these courtiers go up and down, knocked on the wooden pole all night, and put it away.
Looking at the empty streets and sighing lightly, since Ruo Ao Yuejiao occupied the entire Yingdu Wang City, the entire capital seems to have become a dead city, all the shops, inns, wine shops, tea Liao, all closed their doors and locked their homes, and the common people were also confined to their homes, and there were only patrolling soldiers and horses in the city, government soldiers, and the six departments of the Ruo Ao clan who were fighting, if they were not careful, they might be involved in their lives......
In addition to the sound of the machine in his hand, and his figure echoed in the streets, the streets were sparsely populated, only those nobles who had bought the city gates with a lot of money ordered people to open the city gates and flee the capital in fear as soon as dawn.
Looking at their fleeing figures, the old man snorted, lowered his voice and scolded, "When life and death are at a leisurely level, you are the fastest to escape." ”
Looking at the black phoenix flag flying on the palace city, as well as the newly planted black wolf flag representing Ruoao Yuejiao, he whispered with a worried face, "I don't know what happened to the princess......
"God must bless the good people to live, and the bad people will be rewarded for their evil!"
Passing through Jin Street, the old man dodged waves of soldiers, walked through the streets and alleys, and watched that even the most prosperous women's market on weekdays was without sheng flute and drum music for a while.
Seeing the dawn, the female Lu Meiji, who had been in a commotion for most of the night, yawned, stretched their waists and said, "Sisters, it is estimated that there will be no guests these days!"
"Everyone dispersed...... Scattered...... Go back to sleep!"
"Lady!"
Someone saw the return of the new maid who had been out all night, bowed and saluted, and looked at the large number of guilty palace maids standing behind her, afraid that they had just been sent from the palace.
Qing'er glanced back at a long strip of unkempt and unkempt palace people who were locked with chains and lowered their heads, and ordered according to the old rules of the women's market, "This batch is the sin slaves sent by the palace last night, bring people in, the palace maids clean up and pick up guests, and the temple people train them to guard!"
"Yes!"
Someone led them in, but this group of people was not like the sin slaves they had brought before, crying and grabbing the earth, extremely quiet, as if they had already resigned themselves to such a dirty place as the women's market, only one or two were desperately struggling, and were knocked out by the guards and carried in, Qing'er's eyes fell on the last person after all the people walked into the women's market of Nuoda, and then they looked left and right, saw that there was no one, and walked forward.
Back in the house, Qing'er walked directly into the dressing room, changed the clothes she had worn overnight, and the clothes she carried in her hands were soaked, and she threw them into the soap basin and ordered someone to take them to be cleaned.
Xianyu, who was hiding in the women's market, saw her walk out peacefully, sat in a wheelchair, and asked urgently, "Where have you been this day?...... Don't you know that such a big thing is happening in the city?"
"Yes. ”
Qing'er came out with a change of clothes and nodded tiredly.
"I know you still don't want to think of a way, if your new master is caught, he will be killed!"
Seeing her indifferent look, Xianyu said angrily, "It is now said outside that Mi Huang usurped the throne and rebelled, and also made a list of kings, this is probably the first joke I have ever heard, right?
"When Chu people are stupid!"
"I don't believe any Zheng people!"
"You seem to be in a hurry than I am?...... Do you have a way, or will you help me kill Yue Jiao?" Qing'er raised her eyebrows and looked at Xianyu who said cool words every time.
"That's not possible, Yue Jiao is too dangerous, it's not something I can easily control!"
Xianyu listened to her proposal, thinking of the night when Situ Nan was shocked and almost died, and was slightly afraid.
If Ao Yuejiao, if such a man is not strong-minded, scheming, and has been plotting for a long time, how could he make a move and subvert the entire Chu State to this point, and every time he makes a ruthless move, he will never give you a chance to resist.
If she could walk upright on her legs, there was still a chance or two, and it was impossible for her to even get close to him, and if she was discovered, she would definitely die.
Xiangao also did not approve of their risky tactics.
"And what do you want me to do?...... Go out and fight with him?" Qing'er poured a cup of cold tea and took a sip of it, humming softly.
Seeing that the two daughters were arguing every day, Xingao could only shake his head helplessly, anyway, it was wrong for him to help anyone, so he continued to quietly pack up his things and prepare to return to Zheng.
Qing'er saw that he was leaving, but he turned around and ordered someone to close the women's market, from now on, no people from the Nulu Temple are allowed to go out, and said to the strings who are preparing to return to Zheng, "Big brother, don't blame the little sister for the villain's heart, you have an appointment with the princess, and now that the king of Chu is gone, the princess is not there, you must not break your oath!"
"How could I?"
Xiangao frowned, "I'm not a villain who swears an oath!"
"Then after you return to Zheng Guo, immediately let the people of the clan operate, and don't let the Zheng people regenerate their betrayal at this time. ”
Qing'er said that the key to several Chu and Jin wars is in Zheng Guo's pro-Zheng or pro-Chu attitude, Zheng Gong is the most prone to repeat, it is difficult to ensure that the front foot Chu State rescued them, and the back foot wants to take the opportunity to betray, repeat the villain, it is better to take precautions in advance.
And Xianyu happened to stay in Chujing as a hostage, in case Xiangao returned at this time.
"Good!"
Xian Gao agreed, and then in the name of the female market, Qing'er bought the city gate to escort him out of the city.
……
Under the orders of Ruoao Yuejiao one after another, a large number of Tiger Ben Forbidden Army and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division appeared in the city to search for the traces of Mihuang and everyone in the East Palace.
Ashin and several phoenix guards were covered with face scarves on their faces, and together with the wild dogs, they pushed a cart of dead people pulled out of the palace, all the way down the street.
The soldiers and horses of the five cities who searched looked at the cart of corpses they were pushing, and waved their hands in disgust and told them to leave quickly, "Hurry up, it's hot, don't stop on the side of the road, send it to a mass grave for burial!"
The wild dog nodded and beckoned to Ashin, "Yes, let's go immediately!"
Then he pushed the wooden cart to the west of the city.
Liu Yi led people to silently watch the wild dogs leave from under their eyes, waved their hands, beckoned Xiao Huanglin, and continued to go out of the city to pursue the rest of the Phoenix Yuwei.
Wild Dog and Ashin silently glanced at Liu Yi, who was sitting right away, and slowly passed by, until they left the main city street, avoiding the ears and eyes of the fifty percent of the soldiers and horses, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay now, we are safe for the time being, but the lady doesn't know what the situation is now!"
"Since we haven't found the bodies of the princess and everyone, it means that most of them are still alive, and everyone wants to find a way to find them missing first, see if they left or were rescued, and then look at the next step. ”
Ah Xin said, the wild dogs and the crowd bowed their heads.
From yesterday to today, they kept going back and forth in the mass graves of the royal palace, pulling carts of corpses, and they had not finished pulling them, neither cleaning the entire capital of the bloody stains left after the coup, nor finding the princess, their body was sure that she was still alive.
There was a glimmer of hope in the hearts of the people.
