Chapter Ninety-Seven: Leaving the Palace
The soldiers and civilians defending the city saw that Wang Shuilang of Xining was dead, and they opened the city gate and surrendered.
Yun Feiyang led the army into the city, and the soldiers and people in the city fell to their knees in the streets and alleys.
Yun Feiyang was overjoyed, and ordered the army to quickly change its guards, and not to kill innocents indiscriminately, not to steal and disturb the people, and to behead those who violated the order.
As soon as this order came out, the people of the whole city cheered and shouted long live.
Earlier, there was a surrender army leading Yun Feiyang and others to Xining Wangfu, only to see that the corpses in the palace were all over the place, and people went to the empty building, but the northwest corner suddenly had thick smoke.
Yun Feiyang said angrily: "The king of Xining has been ambushed, who dares to set fire so boldly. ”
The group hurried to the northwest corner of the Xining Palace, only to see seven or eight women and two children in a large hall setting themselves on fire.
Then someone said: "That's the princess and two sons of the king of Xining!"
Yun Feiyang heard this, and hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up and put out the fire!"
But there was not much water source in the palace compound for a while, and the fire had already burned to the ground, where could it be saved in a short time.
Seven or eight women and two children fell into the fire.
Yun Feiyang sighed: "What's the trouble, I originally wanted his sons to inherit the throne, but I didn't expect them to burn themselves in fear. It will be difficult for me to block the mouth of the world, and it will inevitably make people talk about it, saying that I am weak. ”
Before the words fell, several sergeants escorted one person to report to the report: "Your Majesty, I caught a hidden spy in the city, and someone confessed that he was the governor of the king of Xining!"
Yun Feiyang looked back, although this person was unkempt and dirty, he was wearing satin clothes, so he shouted: "Raise your head!"
The person who came knelt on the ground, trembling with fright, where could he still move.
The sergeant had to pull his hair and raise his face.
Yun Feiyang laughed and said: "Isn't this the chief official Sun Desheng of the criminal minister Shui Lang, how did he become called Huazi, but he still doesn't forget this silk clothes." ”
Sun Desheng just opened his frightened eyes and couldn't say a word.
Yun Feiyang said angrily: "Since you are already scared stupid, it is useless to keep it, but it will make the rest of the party resentful and cut it!"
The sergeant was about to make a move, but the wind next to him said: "Wait, it's better to drag him to the city market to show the public, just say that he was originally having an affair with the princess and daughter of the king of Xining, so he instigated the king of Xining to rebel, just to want to occupy the magpie's nest; now that the matter is defeated, he is afraid that his ugly deeds will be exposed and punished, so he actually set fire to the Xining palace, and the princess and heirs of Xining died in this fire, and he is destroying the corpse and destroying the traces......"
Before the wind finished speaking, Yun Feiyang sneered: "Okay, good idea, you can tell someone to do this." It's just that I didn't see that you had such a scheming, which can be described as Wen Taowu's strategy. With a talent like you, I am still worried that something big will not happen. ”
When the wind heard this, he hurriedly arched his hand on the horse and said: "The emperor praises falsely, the ministers don't dare!"
When the soldiers extinguished the fire, Yun Feiyang looked at a pile of ashes and remnants, and ordered: "Make the tomb on the spot, and bury the king of Xining and his concubines and heirs here." This fire-destroyed hall was a gift from me to them, so that they could be used and not lonely when they arrived in the underworld. ”
The wind hurriedly flattered: "The emperor is really a benevolent and righteous king!"
Yun Feiyang just sneered, then turned around and came up to the wall of Xining City.
The soldiers defending the city were replaced by Yun Feiyang's own people, and there were more than 200 leaders of all sizes, all of whom were dead.
Yun Feiyang summoned these dead soldiers, and watched the corpses outside the city gradually covered by heavy snow, and the sky gradually darkened, except for the north wind calling, the four fields were silent.
A lieutenant came to report: "Your Majesty, the national teacher left a letter and drove away with the body of General Coco. ”
Yun Feiyang took the letter and said angrily: "When is it, where does she say she is going? Didn't I explain that I want you to protect her!"
The captain trembled with fright and said: "The national teacher was furious and didn't let the ministers follow, and the ministers didn't find the emperor for a while, so they came to report at this moment." As for the national teacher, soon after the army entered the city, she entered the city and seized a carriage in the army, collected the body of General Coco, left this letter for the minister to hand over to the emperor in person, and drove away in a hurry, but did not say where to go. ”
Yun Feiyang was so angry that he flew up, kicked the captain to the ground, and said angrily: "If it weren't for the fact that you still have some merits along the way, I will never spare you! Why don't you send someone out of the city to chase after you! If you can't find the national teacher, I will take you for your guilt and cut off your head!"
The lieutenant hurriedly kowtowed and apologized. Yun Feiyang kicked the captain again, and scolded "Get out!", and the captain got up and hurried away.
Yun Feiyang opened the letter and looked at it, only to see that there were only a few words written in the letter, but it was: "You and I will never see each other in this life!"
Yun Feiyang was so angry that he tore the letter to shreds and threw it under the city wall.
Yun Feiyang watched the torn letters and the heavy snow fall down the city wall one after another, and couldn't help but think back to himself and Wu Keke, looked up to the sky and sighed, and said secretly: "The biggest pain in life is that I don't love those who love me, and those I love don't love me." I'm amorous, and I'm short of talk. ”
Yun Feiyang looked at the captain just now leading more than ten horsemen and horses out of the city, and then turned around and said: "The generals listened to the order, the left and right armies rebelled in the third watch, and the fifth watch went out of the city, brought three military rations, and ambushed on the left and right sides of Xiaolei Mountain. The rest of the people will follow me to defend the city. ”
When all the soldiers heard this, they all received the command.
The wind said: "Did the emperor expect that the king of Nan'an would bring a large group of people to come?"
Yun Feiyang just sneered, but took out a delicate jade bottle from his arms and said: "This is the 'Loyalty and Righteousness Pill' given by your father Li Chongde, that is, today's acting prime minister, I don't easily give it to others, and now you go out with me and make great achievements, I will reward you with a grain." ”
Yun Feiyang said, personally pouring out a small pill and handing it to the wind.
The wind was so frightened that he knelt down, kowtowed, and said, "The minister didn't mean to hide it, he really had a hard time......
Yun Feiyang laughed and said: "You don't have to say it, I know the hardships of your father and son, you were the illegitimate son born to Prime Minister Li Cheng and the maid in the Dongping Palace, and your father and son have worked hard for many years, in fact, it is understandable, after all, people are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless, but the will of heaven is always against people, when your father knew her, he could not marry in the media, and it was also hindered by etiquette and system, which is also a pity." When I return to Beijing, I will fulfill your father. As long as you eat this 'Loyal Pill', I promise you that when I break the enemy and return to Beijing, you will be the garrison of this Xining Palace!"
"Xining Palace?" said Hurricane.
Yun Feiyang laughed and said: "Yes! It is the Xining Imperial Palace! From today onwards, there will be no Xining King, and there will be no Xining City, this will be just a palace of mine, with a standing garrison of 800, managing the security of the city in his spare time, and being responsible for raising grain and grass in wartime. Of course, if it is not as I expected, after the war tomorrow, the world will be unified, and there will be no more wars, and I will give you a peaceful and prosperous world. ”
