Chapter 362: Aftershocks

All the soldiers under the high platform flocked to the top, the overall situation has been decided, except for the supporters of the Cui family on the high platform, the rest of the people either fled or surrendered, Changting held Shi Xuan in his arms, and he didn't know who was crying in his ears, everything in front of him seemed to be an excerpt play, Changting's head was dizzy, and when he lowered his eyes, he saw Queen Yu's trembling fingertips, and he didn't feel sad, and stretched out his hand to hold it tightly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Meng Tuo rushed to the high platform first, pulled out the red tassel spear that was pierced into the vermilion lacquer pillar, and kicked the guards who were blocking Shi Min in front of him with a twist, and the spear was pointed directly at Shi Min, Shi Min blocked the gun with one hand, and a brute force threw Meng Tuo away, Meng Tuo staggered and stabilized Shi Min's backhand buckle Shi Min's shoulder, and knocked Shi Min to the ground, Meng Tuo's killing machine paused, his eyes were red and he threw away the spear, and pulled the soft knife out of his waist, the blade was oblique, the cold light flashed, and the tip of the knife was aimed at Shi Min's throat in an instant.

Shi Min's body was lying back to avoid it, but seeing that he was also aroused, he held the soft knife with one hand, blocked the knife with his palm, Meng Tuo struggled, pulled out the soft knife with his backhand, and sent the blade to Shi Min's throat between the lightning and flint!

Shi Min's throat shook up and down, and the blade scratched the skin and immediately saw blood!

"Mengtuo!" The long pavilion lost its voice and shouted!

You can't kill Shi Min now, at least not if Meng Tuo can't insert the knife into Shi Min's body!

The soft knife in Meng Tuo's palm trembled slightly, his neck was stiff, he raised his head slightly, hesitated for a moment and finally put down the soft knife, his eyes were deep, but the killing machine was not hidden, Meng Tuo's killing machine was like the soft knife in his hand, sharp and exposed to people.

Shi Min deserves to die, but he can't die now, and Meng Tuo can't send him to see Hades.

Shi Min was captured by the personal soldiers who followed Meng Tuo three or two times, knelt on one knee, his forehead covered the ground, became a king and was defeated, and he looked embarrassed. The Cui family's guards hugged Cui Shi and retreated, trying to find a breakthrough, although Cui Shi did not look afraid and wanted to cry, but he could still see his sudden helplessness.

Shi Meng woke up like a dream, propped himself on the back of the chair, and saw that his eldest son, whom he had always loved, was pressed to the ground by the soldiers, his side face was pressed against the green bricks, and his nose and eyes were squeezed together, embarrassed. Shi Meng held the back of the chair, got up half-obliquely, his lower limbs were numb, raised his chin and signaled his soldiers to pull Shi Min up, facing him, Shi Meng half-squatted down, looked at Shi Min for a long time, his face was sad, after a long time, he reached out and touched the back of Shi Min's head, looking very loving and compassionate.

"Did you really kill Kuo?" Shi Meng's voice was hoarse, but his eyebrows and eyes were as soft as a father who doted on his son.

Shi Min trembled, his knees rubbed against the green bricks, trying to get closer to Shi Meng, and he defended in a panic, "Father... Father! Listen to me... I'm not a heart... I didn't send someone to assassinate him..."Shi Min seemed to have grabbed the last straw, and turned his head to point at the Cui family, "The fine work next to Yue Fan is the Cui family's person, and the idea is also the Cui family's idea, really!" Believe me! Even if the palace is successfully forced today, your son will not ascend the throne a hundred years ago, father, you believe me... You believe me..."

Shi Min probably felt that throwing the pot to Cui's shoulder, this was a straw that could save his life, but he didn't know that this was also the last straw that overwhelmed Shi Meng.

Shi Meng can tolerate his son's ruthlessness, but he must not tolerate his son's cowardice and lack of responsibility!

Changting watched Shi Meng raise his head and chuckle lightly, and then quickly pulled out Meng Tuobi's soft knife, his palm fell quickly with the wind, Shi Min's pupils expanded and contracted violently, subconsciously swaying backwards, the tip of the knife was able to avoid the vital point, and it pierced into his left chest firmly, gushing out red blood.

"Holy!"

"Uncle!"

"Father!"

Three voices came out at the same time, Lu Changying took the lead in making a sound, and glanced behind him, the soldiers were about to drag Shi Min down, Meng Tuo stretched out his hand to support Shi Meng, Changting looked at Queen Yu, but saw Queen Yu's tightly clenched fist in her sleeve loosened.

Shi Meng opened his eyes again and his eyes were already red, old tears were horizontal, he threw the soft knife, "clang", the knife broke through the dust, I saw him stretch out his hand and pat Meng Tuo, almost wanted to say more, but he never spoke after all.

Montobi's own soldiers still swarmed up and escorted Shi Min and Cui's down.

Changting exhaled, and the blood on the high platform was sky-high, and there was splashing blood everywhere, splashing on the vermilion lacquer high pillar, and it was impossible to distinguish which place was red paint and which place was bloodstains. The iron helmet guards are menacing, the killing atmosphere is coming, the female dependents here are all from the battlefield, although they are born as women, but no one cries at all, only Shi Xuan cries in a low voice. Meng Tuo stretched out his hand and pulled Changting up in his cloak, the iron helmet was cool and close to Changting's body, Changting didn't feel cold, only felt trembling with excitement.

After three days, the bloody wind and rain in Jiankang City, Shi Meng was hit hard, almost fainted, Meng Tuo was ordered to calm Jiankang, the day was called "Gaotai Change", all 30,000 soldiers outside the city died, none of them lived, Jiankang City killed and injured more than 1,000, hundreds of casualties in the inner palace, Meng Tuo took over, within three days with the thunder of the Cui clan in Jiankang City to exterminate the remnants of the Cui family, the court and the Cui family of the close family all detained, none of them were spared, this move caused the dissatisfaction of the scholars, the scholars spoke, Lu Changying came forward to suppress, so that, Meng Tuo's bloody methods did not cause much turmoil after all.

Queen Yu left the long pavilion in the palace, Shi Xuan is still small, Cui's disobedience, the five girls of the Yu family are not rightly named, only the long pavilion can hold power with an iron fist, stabilize the inner court, Meng Tuo was busy outside the court for three days, Changting was busy in the inner palace for three days, Meng Tuo was decisive in killing, Changting was not tied, the trial conviction was very smooth, how can the Cui family be cruel to control the inner court, this must be done by internal and external collusion, it is not difficult at all, the six divisions in the palace have never been a heart, raise this and depreciate that, naturally someone speaks, Changting coercs and seduces, How is it not difficult to know that the original palace division clothing system and the inner city guard division childhood sweetheart, just wait for Shi Meng to take the position can be the same mandarin duck, and bribe the division meal system with money, and transport the people who can be used into the palace in buckets, inside and outside, with wishful thinking, but unfortunately the abacus was broken, and the beads fell to the ground.

"All the clothes are under house arrest, and it is better to kill by mistake than to miss it." Changting sat in the Ganquan Hall and spoke lightly, closed the booklet and confessed to the evening smoke, "The old man of the previous dynasty relied on the new master's kindness and fortune, and a slave dared to get involved in the big affair of seizing the heir, it was really a mess of the constitution, the clothes were beheaded, the food was cut and the skin was cut, and the two divisions were all replaced by servants of the Shi family." The divisions of the other four divisions took advantage of the situation and bet together, those who should be replaced, those who should be killed, there are no clean people in the palace, and how they are treated is the retribution they have accumulated in the past few decades. ”

Evening smoke took the order.

Queen Yu leaned on the warm couch, holding a copper stove in her hand, staring at the drapery, her voice was very shallow, "Ah Kuo... Is it really dead? After a pause, Queen Yu said in an ethereal voice, "I always feel that Ah Kuo is not dead, although the boss has been arrogant since he was a child, but he and Ah Kuo are brothers of the same mother, how can they be so ruthless?" Queen Yu was stunned for a moment, thinking of the tragedy of the Lu family, she took a deep breath and chuckled, "Ah Kuo should really be dead, if he hadn't died, the Cui family wouldn't have suddenly made trouble." ”

For three days in a row, Queen Yu was silent.

It is not only the pain of losing a child, but also the hatred of being betrayed.

It's just that it happened to betray her that it was also her son.

Because Queen Yu did not send troops to rescue Meng Tuo in time, Changting had a grudge at the beginning, but now that he thinks about it, it seems like the past, so don't mention it.

Changting sighed, not knowing how to comfort Empress Yu.

"When Tuo was trapped and I was hesitant to send reinforcements, I never imagined that it would be Tuo who would solve the situation now." Queen Yu's words were unwavering, but she could still hear endless sighs.

Changting silently poured a cup of tea and handed it to Queen Yu, Queen Yu reached out to take it, her five fingers were cold, and she put the tea on the table. Queen Yu is still talking to herself, and this is what she has said the most in the past few days.

"There are Hu people outside, there are Fu Ji inside, Yue Fan is still guarding Yongzhou to resist the Hu people, Fu Ji is running to the Taihang area and is ready to bite back at any time." Queen Yu's tone was calm, calm and orderly, "Jiankang can't be messed up, Ah Min is no longer of great use today, Ah Kuo is dead, Ah Chuang is still young..."

Changting's expression did not change in the slightest, of course she knew what Empress Yu was going to say.

Changting waited for a while, and then listened to Queen Yu's words, "The rest of the Shi family is excluded from the lineage, and they are all Adou who can't be supported. Now only Atuo is left, Atuo holds the military power, hard work and high achievements, under his command there are not only Wang Lang who is in charge of the victory of the plains, but also the experienced Huang Shen general, the military heart, iron-blooded comrades. You are smart, have a good family background, have a good character, and deserve the position of Queen Lu of Ganquan Palace. ”

"Ah Tuo and his second brother once bowed to the sky, and they were commensurate with each other, fighting on the battlefield together, entrusting each other's lives, and being born and dying for more than ten years. Whoever does not drink blood from the knife will have no injuries on his body. Ah Tuo was guarding Jiankang with a red tasseled spear on his back, and a soft knife and a sharp blade around his waist for the Shi family, charging into battle for this world, drinking blood and sobbing tears, not to pick up a fallen peach today. Changting knew that this was by no means the temptation of Queen Yu, there were wolves in front and tigers in the back, internal and external troubles, Jiankang must have someone with an iron fist and a hard heart, but Meng Tuo is not suitable, Changting sighed lightly, and the point was up, "Atuo's father is a Hu person, and his wife is a Dashi family." ”

Who is the external threat today? Isn't it exactly the beard in the mouth of the Han people! Meng Tuo's father was a Hu person, which was enough for him to suffer a lot when the two armies were fighting. If the Shi family wants to truly end the troubled times, they should not be a vain Fu family, they must be the right monarch, destroy the authority of the family, and unify the military power and fiefdom, which will inevitably damage the vital interests of the century-old family, and Meng Tuo, who is the son-in-law of the Heisei Lu family, should be the target of the public.

Meng Tuo naturally deserves it.

The tea on the table was already cold, and Changting simply splashed the tea out of the window, and said softly, "As the saying goes, a single filament does not make a thread, and a single tree does not make a forest." Meng Tuo was raised by the Shi family, with his aunt measuring clothes and asking for warmth, and there were saints teaching and supervising outside, learning benevolence, righteousness and morality, knowing etiquette, righteousness and shame, Meng Tuo and I are grateful. Auntie, don't worry, no matter what the saint's decision is, Gillian and Meng Tuo both respect the holy will and have no two hearts. ”

Queen Yu's eyes finally turned red, and she raised her head and closed her eyes, leaving two lines of tears.

Three days later, Meng Tuo came to pick up the long pavilion out of the palace, the Showa Hall has been closed for six days, all the ministers have not slept for a few days, now Meng Tuo's eyes are red and worship Queen Farewell, "Jiankang now has the patrol battalion guard division and the forbidden army all night handle, the remnants of the Cui family in Jiankang City have been arrested, Zhang Li counted the refugees and the affected houses, streets and alleys that day, Jiankang will not have any changes in the short term, Heisei Lu has sent troops to suppress the Cui family in northern Xinjiang, and the sage has ordered Yue Sanye, who is guarding Jizhou, to lead troops to reinforce Yongzhou Yuefan. ”

Shi Meng asked Yue Sanye to reinforce Yue Fan?

Changting's eyes narrowed slightly, and secretly said that Shi Kuo was dead, and letting Yue Sanye reinforce Yue Fan was a signal sent by Shi Meng, and everyone in the Yue family would not be implicated except Yue Fan. Yue Sanye has an upright and loyal temperament, and has followed Shi Meng for decades, Shi Meng handed over the right to dispose of Yue Fan to Yue Sanye, which is the highest trust and reward for Yue Lao Sanneng, and at the same time, he can also take the opportunity to integrate Yongzhou soldiers and horses to relieve the siege.

"What is the body of a saint?" Empress Yu leaned forward.

Meng Tuo said in a sullen voice, "The saint's body is okay. ”

On the high platform that day, Shi Meng's body had already shown the state of the end of a strong crossbow, and he stayed up for six days in a row, purging Jiankang miscellaneous affairs, and enduring the pain of losing his son, how could he be "acceptable"? Queen Yu has always been shrewd and strong, how could she not think of it? He waved his hand with a wry smile, and asked again, "Where is the third child now?" ”

"I'm still listening to the saint's ear in the Showa Hall." Meng Tuo hung his head and replied.

Queen Yu sighed, let Changting and Meng Tuo go back to the mirror garden to rest first, as soon as he got out of the palace gate, Meng Tuo abandoned the sedan chair for the first time, leaned on the side of the long pavilion and closed his eyes, and it didn't take long to hear the sound of snoring, the long pavilion lowered his eyes to look at Meng Tuo, his expression was difficult to hide his tiredness, his contours were clear, his skin was dark, and he could see the murderous aura even if he closed his eyes. The long pavilion lifts the curtain, looks at the streets and alleys neatly and cleanly, although it is difficult to see the people in the streets affected by the change of the high platform, but in the end it is still peaceful, this is the credit of the Showa Hall for these six days, and even the city gate is opened, all those who have documents are put into the city, if there are elite people who are willing to recruit An to join the army, the current issue of Jiankang household registration documents, the distribution of silver two taels, cotton clothes three sets, grain millet two stones.

The suburbs of Jiankang City, the suburbs of 300 miles, Nanlang and Liqiao next to Jiankang City are all subject to this decree.

Although it is said that the troubled times must be re-enacted, it can be guided by the situation, and it is also the best policy.

The long pavilion put down the car curtain, the Fu dynasty evacuated the treasury when it fled, the Shi family moved into Jiankang, a grain and a millet are the Shi family's private house, now two taels of silver, three sets of cotton clothes, and the supply of two stones of grain and millet is enough to empty the Shi family's private collection for decades. Lu Changying took the lead in raising 100,000 silver, and all the families on the high platform that day also said that no matter the scholars, the Hanmen or the generals, they all had the momentum of uniting as one, and the momentum of fighting against the water, the sudden upheaval of the Shi family was faintly broken and then established, and then the posture of standing and then securing.

It's just that Changting hasn't figured out one thing...

"Cui said that there were 30,000 people on the periphery of Jiankang City, so that you can't break through in any way for a while and a half..."

"Someone helps."

Meng Tuo seemed reluctant to mention the incident, his eyes were empty, as if recalling the scene of that day, "When Changying and I rushed to the outer city, there were corpses all over the ground, and blood flowed like a river. Most of the soldiers under the Cui family and Shi Min died, leaving only nearly 10,000 prisoners of war with their hands and feet tied together and white cloths stuffed in their mouths. Looking at that scene, it seems that we were waiting for Changying and I to receive the 10,000 prisoners of war. (To be continued.) )
