Mighty Generals (18)
And when Qin Shaoxuan went out, he happened to meet Bai Shengze who came over, and he saw Xiyue's breakfast in his hand. Qin Shaoxuan looked at him, "Why did the White Army Division come over so early today?"
Bai Shengze just smiled, "I'm here to bring breakfast to the two of you." His tone was natural, as if he didn't know what had happened to the two of them last night, and he wasn't surprised that he came out of Xiyue's room early in the morning.
Qin Shaoxuan looked at the tray in his hand and took it directly, "Then thank you Bai Junshi first, don't send it slowly." He didn't have a good impression of this person who coveted his daughter-in-law.
Bai Shengze watched him enter the room and smiled with relief.
In half a year, Qin Shaoxuan and Xiyue occupied a large area of land. "The traitor Rong Xiling led the troops to revolt in Lingnan, proclaimed himself Emperor Shengxi, the country name was holy, incorporated the Lingnan army of 700,000, and waved his army north!"
Jicheng, Wencheng, and Yuncheng were all occupied by the rebels, and the people took the initiative to open the city gates and welcome them wherever they went. The defenders of the city will not resist and will directly surrender to each other!"
"The people rumored that Rong Xiling was the true son of the dragon, and he was sent by God to save the people from fire and water. Before he raised the army, visions were frequent, goldfish spit words, the real dragon covered the top, and the emperor held the book of heaven...... They all show that he was born by heaven! The people are convinced of this, and they already regard him as the savior!"
There was an uproar in the court, and there were many discussions, and Emperor Kangshou on the dragon chair was already trembling with anger, "You dare! You dare to ......"
But he couldn't say anything else than those two words. Rebellion is not uncommon, and there are few rebel ministers with wolf ambitions in any dynasty or generation? Including when he himself ascended the throne, his own brother was not convinced and led troops to rebel. This kind of thing is commonplace for the emperor, and it is peaceful. Including the previous rebellion of the Xiang clan in the north and the peasant uprising in the west, he didn't take it to heart, but this rebellion made him feel dangerous.
He has been the emperor for 20 years, and he understands the truth of the people's will the most, what the true dragon son came into being, but it is just to fool the people, so that they are in awe and dare not offend. The emperor is the son, anyone can sit, there is nothing orthodox or unorthodox, which dynasty did not snatch the throne from others? It depends on who can win the hearts of the people. The will of the people is orthodoxy.
In the past, their Liang clan was orthodox, but now that they have someone who can play with the people's hearts more than them, how can they not be in a hurry? or panic.
Everyone was stunned by this sudden news, and an ominous premonition spread in everyone's hearts.
"Where did this Rong Xiling come from?"
"It seems to have appeared out of thin air, and I haven't heard anything from him before. According to the information that came back at the beginning, this person can plan well, is wise and brave, and is proficient in cultural and martial arts, and is by no means from an ordinary family!"
"I'm afraid this rebellion was premeditated!"
"The rebellion is not terrible, but what is terrible is that this person has a very high reputation among the people, and has won the hearts of the people. ”
The ministers of the DPRK and China whispered, and all of them lost their former composure. The eldest prince stepped out one step and clenched his fists and begged for his life, "Father, the son is willing to ask for his life to go to Nanling to quell the rebellion and arrest the rebellious ministers and thieves!"
As soon as these words came out, several other princes also came out one after another, vying for their lives to quell the rebellion, unwilling to be left behind. If this matter is done well, not only will the prestige of the DPRK and China be further enhanced, but the status in the eyes of the father and emperor will also increase!
In this regard, Emperor Kang Shou was very pleased, and was about to say something, when an urgent report came, he hurriedly opened it to see. Seeing this, he was suddenly shocked, and he looked at it again in disbelief, still unable to believe what he saw, "How is it possible? Rong Xiling turned out to be a woman?!"
As soon as these words came out, the court exploded again,
"How is this possible? How could those sergeants obey a woman? How could the people believe that she was the true Son of the Dragon? Could it be that the information is wrong?"
"Joke! How can a woman be the emperor?
"A woman should be a husband and a child in the back house, abide by her duty, and go to the battlefield to show her face, which is contrary to morality!"
"It's ridiculous! What can a little woman do? Don't worry, I'll go and catch her back!"
The minister was talking nonsense, and even Emperor Kangshou let go of his tense heartstrings and suddenly relaxed. If Rong Xiling is a man, according to those visions Fury, it is impossible to say that there is a fifty percent chance of being succeeded by her. But she is a woman, so it is difficult to even hope for half of it, and the woman also wants to be the emperor?
However, it turned out to be ridiculous for them. The army of Shengxi was like a bamboo, like entering a no-man's land, and it reached the feet of the Son of Heaven in two months.
The soldiers approached the city, and the people in the imperial city began to panic. "Your Majesty, what should I do, the demon girl has already beaten outside the city!"
Emperor Rende was anxious, but there was no way to do it, and the ministers were also anxious, not knowing what to do. The enemy's speed is so fast that they are already surrounded without even reacting to it! Now they can't escape, they can't fight, they can only sit and wait for death!
The wise minister began to say that he was sick and could not go to the court, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the general trend of the Jokhang Dynasty had gone, and it was a matter of time before Emperor Wende replaced him.
The emperor who is beaten by iron and beats the courtiers, no matter who sits on the throne, needs someone to do things, doesn't he? Looking at Emperor Shengxi's style of acting, there is quite a bit of a woman's kindness. All the places occupied are exempt from three years of servitude, and those who surrender are not killed, and those who are willing to defect will not refuse...... It can be seen that this person is not a ruthless person, so he doesn't have to worry about the courtiers being innocently implicated, and he drew a clear line with the Jokhang Dynasty as soon as possible, and maybe he can still get the weight of the new emperor.
At this time, the general of the protector of the country was leisurely watching the excitement on the sidelines, and in the recent period, he has never come out, and he handed over the guards on the southern side of Xinjiang to his trusted deputy general. As for the emperor always explicitly hinting that he would go on an expedition to destroy the rebellion, he ignored it himself, joking, how could he suppress his own daughter. It's just that he didn't expect his daughter to have so much energy before.
Now that I am in Beijing for a period of peace, if my daughter hadn't written a letter to remind me in advance, I am afraid that I would have been murdered by those people long ago. However, the current emperor is indeed mediocre and incompetent, if he hadn't remembered the ancestral teachings, he would have wanted to rebel a long time ago, but he didn't expect this thing to be successfully done by his daughter, and his heart was really happy. Although he also pretended to be sad when he was with others, he couldn't wait to laugh out loud when he returned to his own house. Now I am watching the play leisurely on this side, waiting for myself to be named the emperor, and I will live a peaceful life every day.
It's just that he is watching the play leisurely on the sidelines, but some people can't stand it anymore, the general who protects the country has always been the pillar of their Zhao, but now there is a rebellion, and he pretends to be dead on the side as if he has nothing to do with himself, how can he bear it!
The minister, who had always been at odds with him, immediately said: "Your Majesty, the general of the protector of the country is known as a prestige, and this time to exterminate the rebels, the minister thinks that his ability is outstanding, and it is the most suitable to send troops to exterminate the rebels." ”
Another minister chimed in: "Yes, Your Majesty, I believe that the general of the protector of the country will be able to arrest those traitors immediately." ”
It's just that the general who protects the country said directly, "Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent, I have long heard that the fate of the Son of Heaven is powerful, and the minister thinks that he is not capable enough to successfully arrest this savior." ”
The emperor was so angry that his beard curled, "You, you...... Since you think you are incompetent, I will remove you from your official position and take back your military power. ”
When the general heard the emperor's words, his heart suddenly relaxed. Okay, this is exactly what I wanted, so he immediately said to the emperor: "The minister takes the order." ”
The emperor didn't expect that his protector general would be so cowardly, and when he saw that the rebels could not be captured, he resigned directly, and called him the savior, "this, this ......" Saying these words, the emperor's breath couldn't breathe, and he almost fainted.
At this time, the eldest prince immediately stepped forward and supported the emperor, "Come on, call the imperial doctor." ”
The general of the protector just watched there, and said directly to the emperor: "If Your Majesty has nothing to do, the minister will retire first." ”
The eldest prince immediately said: "You are so angry with your father that you still want to leave." Someone, take the general protector to the dungeon for me, and wait for interrogation. ”
The Protector General was still standing there leisurely, "Yes, you want to arrest me." He just made a gesture, and at this time, the personal soldiers who followed him immediately stepped forward and firmly protected the general of the protector behind him. He had prepared these people as early as when his daughter sent a letter, and he originally thought that they would not come in handy, but he didn't expect that they would be used now.
The eldest prince's body trembled, but he also knew that this person was in power and was not so easy to mess with. And if the father dies, then this throne ...... So he had no choice but to let go.
The Great Protector had long expected this to happen. Her good daughter said that the siege of the city would be in the next few days, and it would be good if she opened the city gate for her at that time. Fortunately, he is still a tolerant person, otherwise let others know his relationship with the Empress Shengxi, it would be bad if he threatened his own good daughter, although there are not many people in this capital who can hurt themselves, but now is an important moment for his daughter, and he can't be a father who can't hold back, right.
On the day the Shengxi army broke the city, Emperor Kangshou committed suicide in the Jinluan Palace, and before he died, he poisoned all the heirs of the concubines, and it is said that he would rather die than be humiliated alive. Xiyue was very speechless about this, she became a king and was defeated, she couldn't accept it and escaped with death, thinking she was very strong, but in fact, in her opinion, she was just cowardly, and she didn't even have the courage to face failure.
