Chapter 70: The Betrayal of Relatives (Part II)
There were blood stains on the emergency report, which shows how tragic the situation was when the report was sent. Soon after, it was also proved that the officials and soldiers of the court in Linshan County, if they had not surrendered, were all beheaded on the spot, and none of them could escape. The means are ruthless and decisive, and they are simply neat.
When he heard the news, Xiao Zuo, who was still standing in front of the ministers, was almost directly stunned, because he didn't expect Xiao Shiyi to do it so quickly. When he took the throne, he experienced bloody storms, but he was better at scheming than competing on the battlefield. He has endured the Tatars for so many years, isn't it because of the lack of military generals in the court, and there are not many people who can lead the troops? Now, really want to fight?
However, the worse news was still to come, and after another half a month, new news came from Linshan County: Xiao Shiyi claimed to be the son of the Ten Kings, and planned to put things in order and return the world to orthodoxy. At the same time, he holds a real jade seal in his hand, and there is no flaw on the dragon's eye!
The world is boiling! The legendary son of the Ten Kings, what the people are inexplicably looking forward to, turned out to be the handsome and unparalleled King of the Mountain. If you don't believe it, they took out Xiao Yu's staff of the commander of the army back then, and it was also recognized by the past staff of the Ten Kings. Besides, is the jade seal fake?
"Where did he get his army of 100,000?" Xiao Zuo drank loudly in the Xuanzheng Palace, and the panic on his face was something he couldn't see.
Even if a gentleman has a bad heart, how can he have real great power in addition to fabricating rumors to demagogue? Originally, he thought that he was just weak for a while, because Eleven Lang had the upper hand in public opinion. However, when real swords and real guns are matched, the other side will be defeated like a mountain. Is there anything so good in the world? But why, Xiao Yu has soldiers in hand?
"The military newspaper said that he was a barbarian mercenary, with super combat power, as fierce as a wolf, and he was as good as ten." Wang Yue said slowly.
The people present who do not know, since the forcible cutting of the feudal domain. The emperor has always suppressed the generals, and now the soldiers are all wine bags and rice bags that only take military salaries, and they are pulled to the battlefield, one dies and one dies, and two die and a pair, which is completely uneventful.
"Leading foreign enemies to invade, the country's taboo, he actually dares!" Xiao Zuo was furious.
No one answered at the bottom, because it wasn't to attract foreign enemies. The king of Linshan is rich and can rival the country, and it is normal to raise a mercenary.
"The military department has increased its manpower. Whether it is money or goods, it will be provided unconditionally to the local military government, and the anti-thief Xiao Yu must be kept out of Shanhaiguan! Xiao Zuo took the case, "The unrighteous teacher, the nameless teacher, I don't believe that it can be rampant for long!" ”
But it didn't take long for the military department to report in a hurry, "The leader of the Cao Gang announced that he supports the King of Linshan." On behalf of the people of the world, we must welcome back the orthodoxy of Great Zhao, after the ten kings. Hence the waterways ...... The waterways were cut off, and the weapons, money, and grain were hoarded in various warehouses and transported ...... It can't be shipped to the place. And I heard. The people of Linshan County and the surrounding seven counties have been converted to Linshan...... No, return to the anti-thief Xiao Yu, the local government and the military government, and ...... Surrender. "I haven't said that the army is nearing south. The people along the road not only opened the city gates, but also welcomed them along the road, and even sent food and drink.
"What did you say!" Xiao Zuo angrily threw the teacup. "The waterway is cut off?! Isn't there a land route? Why don't you hurry up and clear the traffic and support the front line! Besides, what about my water army? What about my water army? "Even though he commanded his courtiers like this, his heart was already cold.
The terrain of Dazhao is special, with many mountains, many waterways but few plains, so waterways have always been an important passage of passage. This is why he, as the emperor, wants to win over the Cao gang composed of untouchables, and even intends to sacrifice a son. But the Cao Gang has now become the help of Eleven Lang, which is a big trouble. If he wants to send troops to encircle and suppress the Cao Gang, there is a way to be ten people and nine Cao, does he want to be the enemy of the people of the world? A trolls? The navy is just a decoration, and the only powerful navy has been sent to various sea ports, and the internal water is completely controlled by the Cao Gang. The strength of a middle-level official of the water army is not even as good as a Cao Gang of Caokou.
Another month passed, and winter had begun. In the Xuanzheng Palace, Xiao Zuo leaned over the map, and his hands were already trembling uncontrollably.
Jingzhou anti, Luzhou anti, Bazhou anti, Lianzhou anti...... On the map, there are many red dots, each of which represents the local government that announced its surrender to Xiao Shiyi. In fact, Xiao Shiyi did not sell all the generals or official mansions of Da Zhao, so the red dots on the map were not densely packed. Because if there are too many people in contact and too much movement, it is impossible to do such a secret work. But he has to admit that this kid's vision is extremely old and unique, and the people Xiao Shiyi chooses to win over are the most critical link.
If you compare Da Zhao Guo to a person, those officials and places who surrendered to Xiao Shiyi are like nails, stuck in the most fatal and uncomfortable parts, separated from this person's blood, making this person's muscles weak and even unable to breathe. In this way, as long as you can be trapped for a period of time, you don't need Da Zhao Jun to fight back at all, this person will also fall to the ground and can't get up. What's more, the Cao Gang, which can be compared to blood vessels, has been firmly held in the hands of Shui Shi Qiao.
"Your Majesty, Mi Gui, who holds the sea army...... It's the other way around. Also, the stone platform has fallen...... "There are people underneath, trembling in the voice in return."
The ministers flinched.
Shitaizi is a place that seems inconspicuous, but all military aircraft intelligence and official documents have to pass through there. It is also the garrison of the military aircraft battalion guarding the capital, if Tokyo is the heart of the Great Zhao Kingdom, Shitaizi is the throat of the Great Zhao Kingdom. Even his neck was choked, can he still live? was stabbed into the heart by the hands and feet that had been charged, and every minute and every second.
But Xiao Zuo didn't react anymore, and a series of blows from side to side made him numb, and he felt even deeper that he was powerless to return to the sky. He had already understood that Eleven Lang seemed to be submissive, but in fact he had long been against him, from the time he had attacked his father's title through the hand of the imperial court, from the time he had willingly infiltrated Kyoto, and from the time he had spent a lot of time operating mining rights, since he was only thirteen years old.
The country will be broken, the mountain will fall, it is dizzying fast and unexpected. In fact, it was not achieved overnight. It is Eleven Lang who has been slowly planning for more than ten years, bit by bit, day and night, and there is not a moment that is not working hard for today. Now, Eleven Lang just finally started, and the killing chess that had been laid out on the chessboard step by step, ending with a thunderous momentum. And he was kept in the dark because he looked down on the boy who struggled out of death. So today, we can only bear the consequences.
It's too late, really, it's too late!
"Your Majesty, I don't know what regulations you have?" Below, the leader of the old ministers, Wang Yue, Marquis of Weiyuan, asked.
"What do the people say?" Xiao Zuo asked weakly. looked down on the small people the most, but at this time they felt that they should have counted on it.
But Wang Yue shook his head, "The anti-Wang army has been overwhelming all the way, but Xiao Yu issued an announcement stating that the army and the people have not committed any offense in the place where they surrendered. And, they did. Therefore, the anti-army was welcomed by the people...... In addition, the people's will has been shaken before...... The emperor should know that it was because of the edict of the Ten Kings and the legend of the son of the Ten Kings, and because of what Wen Ning said before the punishment...... Therefore, the anti-army is not a nobody, and it is morally defensible. ”
"What do you think?" Xiao Zuo raised his eyes and swept his gaze downward.
No one can answer. All the courtiers felt that he was gone.
These people just feel that he is not in the right position, and in his life, he is unlucky to be on this hateful word "right". He didn't know that the matter of the edict of the ten kings was just an introduction, and the "mistakes of a hundred officials" planted on him, as well as his connivance with corrupt officials for so many years, were the main culprits in today's officialdom.
"What about my Northern Ya Forbidden Army?" Specializing in guarding the Imperial City army, his henchmen's division.
"It's still there." Wang Yue bowed his head.
Fortunately, at least there is a loyal teacher, so that he has room to turn around. Xiao Zuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but listened to Wang Yue say slowly, "However, they all stayed outside the palace and didn't move." ”
Didn't move? What does it mean to not move! That is to say, he will not enter the palace to escort him, that is, he will wait for the gate of the imperial city to open so as to welcome the anti-thief Xiao Shiyi? In other words...... Now is it to watch over him, not to protect him? Or even ...... Put him under house arrest! Just wait for the new emperor to ascend the throne, so that his blood can stain the red carpet that leads to the highest place!
Xiao Zuo's eyes widened in shock, staring at Wang Yue who was standing below.
Weiyuan Marquis Wang Yue slowly raised his head and asked word by word, clearly, "Your Majesty, the Fu family, who almost married Concubine Shu at the beginning, asked the old minister to ask the emperor a sentence: Do you regret it?" ”
Regret? Regret! Xiao Zuo froze, unable to move. He suddenly remembered that many years ago, that young and handsome little general, straddled his horse, charged for Da Zhao, vowing to throw his head and spill blood for the country. And he, in the dark, picked up the bow and crossbow that shone with cold light, and pulled the string.
It turns out that ah!
"Wei Yuanhou, do you want to rebel too?" He asked in a cold voice, wanting to be a little threatening, but the chill came from the depths of his own heart.
"Your Majesty, the Southwest Army has already returned to the King of Linshan. The one in charge is the biological son of the old minister. After Wang Yue said this, he immediately straightened up, glanced at Xiao Zuo lightly, and then Shi Shiran walked out of the imperial study.
Then, Yushaw. Then there are the military department books, the officials department books, the household department, and the Ministry of Industry......
Xiao Zuo stood on the high Dan Majesty, standing under the reassembled Zhengda Guangming plaque, watching the courtiers and officials leave one by one, and no one paid attention to him. The usual mountain shouts long live and kowtow to salute, as if they are all phantoms.
Betrayal of relatives!
He only thought of that word. The gorgeous dragon chair behind him, the wide dragon book case in front of him, and the few chaotic real jade seals on the case seemed to come to life, smiling at him slightly, full of ridicule.
Xiao Shiyi, hello! You're so nice! In silence, he collected the hearts of the people, the hearts of the ministers, and the hearts of the army, and also held absolute power. Losing to you, my good imperial nephew, it doesn't seem to be wronged!
