Chapter 92: The wind is dashing and the rain is shaking
When the coffin of King Chulie of Zhao was arranged, all of them, from the royal nobles and princes, to the ministers inside and outside the royal court, were only allowed to meet once. After crying and praying for less than a quarter of an hour, they were all driven out.
In a piece of plain white flags, the eldest prince Liangsheng, who was forcibly driven away by the guards, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and outside the Longzhang Gate of Fushou Palace, he angrily knocked down several palace guards who were very arrogant and unreasonable. Then raise your arms and shout.
"I am also the son of the Great King! If you want to keep a vigil here, why do you want to drive me away? ”
Most of the other people outside the Dragon Chapter Gate also had some anger in their hearts. What happened to Prime Minister Fei Yi in the past has made people very dissatisfied. It's just that under the new mourning of the king, they all chose patience for the time being. But now even the two sons are being treated so rudely, it would be too contrary to human nature.
It's just that before the others could say anything, he saw Chu Jiangmian, who had changed into a blood-stained red and white robe, standing on the steps with a cold face, and he only said lightly.
"Inside the Longzhang Gate is where the king is placed, if anyone dares to make noise here, no matter who it is, they will not be spared!"
"I don't have any other requirements, but I have to stay in front of my father's spirit ......."
"No, you don't! It's all right to have me here, don't you hear me? ”
Chu Jiangmian indifferently interrupted Gongzi Liangsheng's words, and his attitude was extremely arrogant. Chu Liangsheng's eyes showed a look of pain, and he said angrily unwillingly.
"Father is not your father alone! He is also the father of me and Qingyun's second brother. Since we want to stop here, our brothers naturally have the same right to protect as you. Chu Jiangmian, if you want to inherit the throne, I have no interest in stopping it. But if you want to forcibly deprive us of the right to protect our father, I will not be convinced! ”
Seeing their brothers glaring at each other raised deep unease in the hearts of many. At such a moment, if there is any contradiction in Jinxiang Palace that is intensified, it will really be painful for the relatives and fast for the enemy! Minister Fei Yi just received an emergency military situation, and he was still dealing with it outside, and he was not at the scene. The ministers, led by Dr. Zizhong, saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly wanted to come over to persuade a few words. Unexpectedly, Chu Jiangmian had already pulled out his long sword with a "hurry", pointed at Liang Sheng and said loudly.
"My father has already passed on the Fengyun Sword and the Golden Feather Bow to me, and I am naturally the new king of Zhao Guo! Even if you are not convinced, so what? If you have the ability, come and grab it! If you don't have the guts, go and be a subordinate minister willingly. And my current order is that everyone, including your two sons, all leave the Fushou Palace! From this day until the king's burial, no one is allowed to set foot here without my orders...... Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude! ”
In the face of the tough orders issued by this person who was actually the new king of Zhao Guo, who would forcibly argue with him? What's more, some people have secretly harbored ghosts for a long time, and they are overjoyed to see him acting so willfully and disorderly. Originally, I was afraid that this guy would be able to rely on King Zhao's legacy and quickly get a lot of people's attachment. But now it seems that he is simply perverse and brings about his own destruction!
The eldest prince was so angry that his face turned pale. He glanced back at Chu Qingyun, who had been silent, very hopeful
He was able to speak out at this time. However, no matter how he and Chu Jiangmian were arguing just now, the second son, who didn't know when he would return to Dragon City, was always indifferent. Even when he heard Chu Jiangmian's arrogant and unreasonable words, the expression on his face didn't even change, he bowed his head and didn't say anything, he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
Chu Liangsheng sighed in disappointment, no longer insisted, turned around and walked out resentfully. And Uncle Wang Chu Daxing, who has been watching the situation since he entered the city, did not look at Chu Jiangmian again, he sneered, and walked out after Gongzi Liangsheng, not far away, Liangsheng, who had already grabbed Liangsheng, who was walking quickly, seemed to be persuading something in a low voice.
Chu Jiangmian narrowed his eyes, retracted his gaze, and no longer paid attention to the remaining people, he turned around and entered the Longzhang Gate, and only gave a word to Bai Ye and Murong Licheng, who were guarding the door.
"From now on, those who try to enter this gate without my permission will be killed!"
Hearing that he actually uttered such a bloody order, everyone shuddered. Even if he tried to persuade him, he swallowed it back. Everyone turned around and left, their backs filled with despair. If such a person is really allowed to inherit the throne, then there is no doubt that it will be a disaster for the Zhao State. Even if he does not die under the attack of the enemy's sword soldiers, he will die in the hands of his Chu Jiangmian!
"Why are you doing this?"
Chu Jiangmian, who had walked through the empty hall, was about to step on the long steps to enter the apse to guard the spirit, but he heard a woman's angry voice questioning him overhead. He didn't have to look up to know who was waiting for him at the door.
"Auntie...... It's all a last resort! ”
Chu Jiangmian looked directly at those stern eyes, his bloodshot eyes were still so clear and transparent in front of her. Chu Lingyun, who knew everything he had done, was originally going to be angry and ask the teacher for his guilt. But perceiving the endless pain in these eyes, the suspicions in her heart suddenly disappeared and disappeared. She believed in him, and he was definitely not the kind of person who was narrow-minded, tyrannical, and ruthless.
"That'...... What is it for? Can I know? ”
"Yes."
Chu Jiangmian walked up the steps with a calm expression and looked at the sad place in the depths of the apse. He silently took out a top-secret letter from his chest and handed it to the puzzled woman.
"This is the news of Binh Duong Pass that I just received before entering Jinxiang Palace...... Yuan Rong was killed, the city was shattered, and Zhao's ** team was almost wiped out. The line from Pingyang to Shuomen has been completely lost, and the remaining soldiers have retreated to Wutong Pass, and I am afraid they will not be able to hold it for long...... Alas! ”
Chu Lingyun was taken aback. Although she does not participate in Zhao **'s political affairs, as a royal woman, she naturally has extraordinary knowledge. Although Chu Jiangmian didn't say it explicitly, she immediately understood that Zhao Guo might not be able to stop the attack of the Qin and Wei coalition forces!
"How is that possible! Wasn't General Yuan Rong the number one general of the Zhao State? Even he was defeated and killed...... Are you sure this news won't be fake? ”
"Don't doubt it. This was transmitted by the Thousand Machine Pavilion spies who stayed awake day and night in the fastest time, and when it was passed to me, everyone in the royal court didn't know about it! Presumably, at this time, the minister of state and the political ministers have also received the news. ”
Chu Jiangmian's face appeared
With a wry smile, he stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead vigorously to relieve the tiredness that was difficult to hide. Chu Lingyun looked at him distressedly, and in just a few days, he could no longer see the cynical appearance on his face.
"In other words, the armies of Qin and Wei have broken through our main line of defense, and they will drive straight into Dragon City?"
Chu Jiangmian nodded, affirming her speculation, and Chu Lingyun's heart suddenly sank. She watched blankly as Chu Jiangmian sat down on the long steps, facing the drizzle outside the main hall that had not stopped, and said in a low voice.
"The death of General Yuan Rong in battle was the greatest loss of the Zhao State. Moreover, because of his death, the army of the Western Front was in great turmoil, and under the fierce attack of the enemy, it was finally unable to resist. Nearly 60,000 troops died overnight...... It's heartbreaking! ”
At this, his voice choked a little. When he was very young, he once remembered that Yuan Rong hugged him, and vaguely remembered the appearance of this famous general. Thinking back to that time, including him and four or five other famous generals of the Zhao State, they were invincible under the command of their father, which made the Beihu people fearful. Create the next generation of prestige. But now, Zhao Wang Chulie and Yuan Rong have died one after another. And Zheng Liancheng and Gou Wuxian, who are about the same age as them, don't say that they will go into battle again, I'm afraid time is running out. When I think of this, how can I not sigh and sigh!
"Jiang Mian, since it has reached such a critical juncture, it is time to unite all the forces of Dragon City and share the same hatred for the enemy, maybe there will be a turnaround. But why do you insist on going your own way in front of others, pretending to be unkind, and deliberately humiliating the Minister of State Fei Yi and Gongzi Liangsheng? Wouldn't that be even more confusing? ”
"It's just that the mess is as chaotic as possible...... After the death of his father, chaos in Dragon City was inevitable. So far, I can only break the cauldron and survive in death! ”
Chu Jiangmian's voice became deeper and lower. He is not entirely sure whether his plan will succeed or not. But one thing is certain, once defeated, both he and Zhao Guo will be doomed!
Jiang Mian...... I'm sorry for you! ”
Chu Lingyun suddenly understood his hard work. He is willing to bear everyone's misunderstanding, just so that Zhao Guo can fight his way out of the predicament. This thin body, the burden on the shoulders that it has taken over, is really too heavy!
But I heard a sigh from someone in the apse. The two of them turned their heads at the same time, and the queen Jiang Xin, who was dressed in white, wiped away her tears and turned out from behind the curtain. At the moment when he saw his mother, Chu Jiangmian suddenly felt the weakness in his heart, and he only screamed sadly: "Queen Mother!" Father, he ....... ”
Before he finished speaking, he finally couldn't stop crying.
At the same moment, Fei Yi, the minister of state outside the main hall in front of Jinxiang Palace, finally finished reading the emergency military situation that had just arrived in an emergency of eight hundred miles. He looked at the doctors gathered around him with a pale face, and said the last thing everyone wanted to hear with a trembling voice.
What the! Yuan Rong was killed in battle, the Zhao army was defeated, and the Qin-Wei coalition army had broken through and entered the territory of Zhao? The eyes of all those who heard the news widened in horror, and the open space in front of the huge hall was silent.
This is really a blessing, and the misfortune is not a one-way street! Could it be that Zhao Guo really couldn't escape this catastrophe this time?
