Chapter 84: The Battle of the Capital (3)
At this time, more than half of the officials honestly bowed down their bodies and carefully wrote seriously according to what Chaozhou Hou said. But there are still many officials who are now hardened and said loudly: "Soldiers can be killed, but they cannot be humiliated~!" ”
Li Ren also felt a little impatient now, and immediately waved his hand at an official and said, "Since he is a soldier who can be killed and cannot be humiliated, how can he be fulfilled." ”
After a while, I heard a cry for help outside the tent until I was halfway there, and then I heard a dull sound like a watermelon falling to the ground. After a while, the guards walked in from outside with a tray in their hands, and the captive officials looked at each other, and most of them fell to the ground.
At this time, Rihito just looked up and said, "Well, that's good, so that he can go down in history." Then the order was given: "Go and bury his body and head." When the guards all went out, Li Ren came to see these officials who had not yet started writing, and saw that they were already many people who were working hard to write, and they did not dare to look up at this Chaozhou Hou, who was gentle and elegant on the surface, but more vicious than a snake and scorpion in his heart.
Li Zhixiao saw that Liren's method had worked at this time, and he smiled and said in Liren's ear: "Master Hou is really clever, let these pedantic people be willing to use their brains." ”
"What's smart, these people are guys who don't cry when they don't see the coffin, as long as they know what will happen to us if they resist, they will definitely do what I said. But that's part of it. There are some who can't. Rihito looked at a few officials standing there like irons, unmoved.
Li Zhixiao also noticed these two or three people, he looked at Liren and asked, "Master Hou, do you want them to be loyal too?" ”
Li Ren smiled and waved his hand and said, "I just saw these two or three, and it's not that this trick can work." Treat them with the real thing and make them soft. ”
"Oh, what tricks does Master Hou have?" Li Zhixiao asked incomprehensibly.
Li Ren smiled now and didn't answer, looked at the guard at the door and said, "Go, please invite the King of Luling and the county lord to come, by the way, don't forget to let them take the old prince's will." ”
After a while, a little boy and a beautiful girl came to the big tent of the Chinese army accompanied by a team of guards, and the two or three people who were still standing saw this little one and one young, and their hearts immediately snorted.
At this time, Li Ren smiled and said to them: "Ladies and gentlemen, why don't you meet the king of Luling and the county lord soon. ”
Suddenly, the officials who had already written the guarantee letter nodded to Zhao Dan and the county lord, and the words of praise in their mouths were endless. But Zhao Dan had already seen such a formation, so he ignored them at all and ran directly to Liren and asked, "Brother Ren, Dan'er is here, you have to accompany Dan'er to catch birds today." ”
Li Ren smiled and scratched Zhao Dan's little nose and said, "Don't be tao, don't salute the adults yet, they will be your subordinates in the future." ”
"Nope! But as long as you follow Brother Ren, don't want these kowtow worms. Suddenly, nine-year-old Zhao Dan behaved very resolutely, which made Liren feel that this little prince had grown up.
However, Li Ren still had his way, he immediately fixed his face and said to Zhao Dan: "Nonsense, don't you want to avenge your father?" ”
Zhao Dan saw that Li Ren was a little unhappy, and he immediately cried and said, "Brother Ren, I want to avenge my father, but didn't Brother Ren say that you would personally arrest those people in front of Dan'er?" Is Brother Ren going to lose his words? ”
Seeing that Zhao Dan was about to cry, Li Ren suddenly felt that his head was a little big, and he immediately felt safe Zhao Dan: "But don't cry, who said that Brother Ren doesn't want Dan'er, but now we have to find some subordinates for our little man." Besides, don't you see that we have already surrounded the capital? Wait for tomorrow, Brother Ren will definitely dominate those people in front of Dan'er, okay? ”
"Brother Ren has to talk and count!" Zhao Dan was a little reluctant.
Liren nodded and immediately agreed, and then said to Zhao Dan: "Dan'er, you see that they have been kneeling for a long time, you should let them get up." ”
Zhao Dan nodded and said in his childish voice to these soft officials: "Everyone, Aiqing, get even." ”
"Toot! You are a yellow-mouthed child, how dare you use flat words? Still in love? It's a big rebellion, it's a big rebellion. As soon as Zhao Dan's words came out, an older old man among the three people standing suddenly shook his gray beard and shouted tremblingly.
Rihito looked at the official who was about to enter the ground with a smile, and waited for him to finish speaking, before Rihito spoke: "Oh, why did this lord say that? Do you think that only the puppet emperor in the capital is qualified to say that he is flat? ”
"Nonsense, you should slander the emperor, you thief!" Suddenly, the old man was so angry that he almost turned his back on him.
"Hmph~! Emperor? The evidence is in front of you, and you foolish courtier is indifferent? The county lord in the back immediately took over the conversation, pointed at the elderly official and scolded loudly: "Do you know how my father was wrongfully killed, and how my mother was at the same time as my father* to protect my sister and brother. You foolish courtier still has to help the puppet emperor in the city speak, hum, you really deserve to be the lackey of Shi Miyuan's side. ”
"You~~You~~, who the hell are you? Dare to slander the emperor and Prime Minister Shi like this? The old man's head was a little dizzy when he was pointed at, and he looked at the county lord excitedly.
"Me? I am the orphan of King Luling, his daughter Zhao Ling. The county lord suddenly took out a golden seal from his bosom.
At this time, all the captive officials exclaimed loudly: "Ah! At this time, the golden seal of the late King Luling. After being surprised, they all came to the county lord and knelt on the ground, and shouted loudly: "Xia Guan has seen the county lord." ”
The old official has not wavered at all, he shook his beard and immediately shouted: "Fake, it must be fake~!" ”
"Old fool, I can see clearly, at this time, my father's golden seal is like a fake. There is also the will of my father, the king on his deathbed, is it all fake? The county lord suddenly became a little angry.
Two of the officials who had already relented had asked for the golden seal and the will, and after carefully comparing and watching, they shouted excitedly: "It's true, it's all true." ”
Hearing that many officials successively acknowledged the authenticity of the golden seal and the will, the old official couldn't stand it anymore, and fell to the ground with a "pop" and never got up again.
The next day, the arrest of the traitors in the capital had begun, and more and more officials were arrested, as long as the idle people who were related to these officials gradually became the targets of arrest, and suddenly everyone in the city was in danger.
But Shi Miyuan was very satisfied with his current work, and he kept searching in his mind for who was the most wrong with him on weekdays, and then a person's name appeared in his mind. He thought about it but didn't dare, but the temptation was too great. As soon as he was cross-minded, he immediately beckoned his butler to arrive: "Shi Fu, bring someone into the palace with me immediately." ”
"Yes~! Master. Since Shi Miyuan returned home and criticized him harshly, Shi Fu has been much more honest and no longer dares to show himself in front of Shi Miyuan.
They had just walked to the gate of the palace with a team of more than 1,000 people, and a herald ran to Shi Miyuan in a hurry and said loudly: "Xiangye, the traitors have begun to attack." ”
"Oh! Let the generals resolutely defend the city walls, and must not let the rebels enter the city. Shi Miyuan thought in his heart that there were still a lot of Imperial Forest Army and City Guards in the city, and it should not be a problem to block this group of traitors, and now he still had very important things to do. After he finished speaking, he prepared to lead the team into the imperial city.
But the herald immediately stopped him and said, "Prime Minister, the attack of the traitors on the city wall is very fierce, and the generals are about to lose their breath. ”
"What?" Shi Miyuan had to let go of the earth-shattering thing he was about to do, and immediately looked at the herald in surprise, very suspicious in his heart.
"The generals on the city walls are about to lose their hold, and the rebels may enter the city." The herald immediately recounted the news he had brought.
"Idiot~!" Shi Miyuan suddenly became a little angry, and after kicking the herald, he immediately raised his leg and walked back. As soon as he took two steps, he immediately ordered the butler to arrive: "Quick, prepare all the soft and soft." ”
"Sir?" The housekeeper Shi Fuzhen didn't expect that his master was so hungry and calm on weekdays, but now he was extremely panicked.
"Don't talk nonsense, get home and let them get on the boat first." When Shi Miyuan said this, he couldn't bear to close his eyes.
As soon as the housekeeper left, another herald rode a fast horse to Shi Miyuan, and reported with a disgraced face: "Qi Shi Xiangye, the rebels are about to enter the city!" ”
"Waste." Shi Miyuan didn't dare to get too angry with these heralds now, and only cursed quietly in his mouth.
Liren outside the city was ready early in the morning, and this time Liren meant to take the capital in one go, so that none of the officials here could escape. According to his meaning, as soon as the Suzaku Army and the officers and troops under Li Zhixiao attacked the city, they used the stone throwers and the new explosives in the Suzaku Army.
Before the rebels attacked the city, the royal forest soldiers in the city had already run to the side to hide, pretending to be dead.
When the Suzaku army went up to the city wall, they saw that the section of the city wall was now basically empty, and the royal forest soldiers who used to show off their might had now become corpses on the ground. But before they could rejoice, a large group of Imperial Forest soldiers and horses on both sides came up, and the two sides suddenly became a group.
