Chapter 37: The Emperor
Today's era name should be called Jianming. In Luoyang City, which survived the catastrophe, there was already a new master, nominally the new emperor Yuanye who entered Luoyang with the Qihu army, but who didn't know that the real people were really a few bigwigs of the Erzhu family.
Among them, naturally Erzhu Zhao is the most powerful, arrogant and domineering, and the pomp is like an emperor. One day he didn't beat and scold hundreds of officials, it's just unusual. That's it, at this moment, who is not afraid of the butcher knife in his hand? It's just that this guy thinks he has a high achievement, and he can't wait for the big guy to directly change his mouth and call him "Tianzhu", and even make people build momentum in the court several times, not wanting everyone to just pretend to be deaf and dumb and refuse to speak. Especially Erzhu Shilong and Erzhu Dulu, who belong to Erzhu Zhao's uncles, how can they be willing to respect him as a "pillar of heaven"? pretending to be stupid in the open, but secretly you must not make a hindrance from it.
Er Zhu Zhao is just a reckless man, but he is not a fool, how can he not know that Er Zhu Shilong and Er Zhu Dulu are two little ninety-nine in their hearts? Suddenly furious, the next day when he went to court, he shouted in front of everyone: "King Leping! In the past, when you were in the middle of the court, you were known as the eyes and ears of the people, but how did you not know about it, and caused the heavenly pillar to suffer? This... What is the crime? With that, he pressed his hand to the sword, stared at it, and his voice was extremely fierce.
Zhu Shilong knelt down on the spot, pleaded guilty, and tried his best to shirk it. Er Zhu Zhao consciously shaved Er Zhu Shilong's face greatly, and then he was relieved, laughed loudly, and walked away.
After Erzhu Shilong went back, his face was pale, and he was extremely angry, and he said: "Erzhu Zhao is so rude and ruthless, if one day is really a pillar of heaven, you and I will never have a good life." ”
"Isn't it?" Erzhu Dulu thought deeply: "Tu Wan'er has such a cold temperament since she was a child, and she is reckless and unscrupulous, how can she be worthy of the great cause of my Erzhu family?" We still have to plan for the long term. ”
Erzhu Shilong nodded hatefully: "As long as Erzhu Zhao leaves Beijing one day, he will not be allowed to return!" ”
。。。。。。
Erzhu Shilong was looking forward to Erzhu Zhao's departure from Beijing, and at the beginning of April, he was really looking forward to him.
It turned out that Jinyang reported urgently, saying that it was the Hexi thief handsome Douling Bufan soldiers with sharp edges, Xiurongchuan battled, and killed the fierce general under the command of Zhu Zhao in Yanqing, and the Qihu knights who fought the battle were wiped out. The remaining Erzhu soldiers and horses could not resist, and Xiurongchuan fell. Sudouling Bubo took advantage of the situation to go south, and the Xirong army was not far from Jinyang.
The old nest where the Erzhu clan has lived for generations has been served, and Erzhu Zhao is angry, but also panicked, only afraid that if Jinyang has another mistake, then there will be no way back. So he hurriedly gathered his troops and horses and hurried back north.
Erzhu Dulu is the history of Shuozhou's assassination, and his jurisdiction is also pointed out by the Xirong people's soldiers, and he should have led his troops to accompany him, but he repeatedly deduced, but he just stayed in Luoyang and refused to leave--- although he and Erzhu Shilong discussed it in advance, but it may not be that there is no reason why he is afraid of fighting with the Xirong people. Er Zhu Zhao persuaded him not to move, so he had to go north alone.
The trip was in a hurry, but Er Zhuzhao did not forget to bring Yuan Ziyou, who was imprisoned in the tower of Yongning Temple, and ordered him to be put into a prisoner car and escorted to Jinyang, where he was temporarily locked up in a third-level Buddhist temple in Jinyang.
。。。。。。
The battle under the city of Jinyang was endless, although Er Zhu Zhao was said to be brave and resolute, he had no strategy, and was frequently defeated by the elusive Sudouling Bufan. Later, Erzhu Zhao was already frightened, so he simply closed the city gate and did not come out.
The war was unfavorable, and Er Zhuzhao remembered that this Gan Xirong people had come on the order of Yuan Ziyou, and his anger suddenly turned into a rag, so he took a big stride and went to the third-level Buddhist temple with a gust of wind.
The former emperor, now the subordinate prisoner Yuan Ziyou, was abused by Er Zhu Zhao in every way, and even whipped with a leather whip, beating his head full of blood. It can be said that it is also strange that Yuan Ziyou changed the appearance of crying and crying when he was imprisoned in the tower of Yongning Temple, although the skin was open and the flesh was blooming, he was silent, and his eyes were closed, and his face was calm, as if he was in a pool of stagnant water.
Seeing Yuan Ziyu like this, Er Zhu Zhao became more and more violent, and evil thoughts were about to surge, and he couldn't suppress it anymore, and suddenly shouted: "Go!" Fetched me the little baby next to Ying'e! ”
The backwater was slight, and Yuan Ziyou suddenly opened his eyes--- Ying'e, naturally it was the former queen Zhu Ying'e; So which one else can be the little baby next to Er Zhu Ying'e? It is his only heir, Yuan Tu!
。。。。。。
Erzhu Ying'e lay on the cold ground, motionless--- the moment the vicious warriors snatched Tu'er from her arms, she was drained of all her strength, and tears were already crying dry in her sunken eyes.
Last year, Aya and her younger brother Bodhi died tragically in the Mingguang Hall of Luoyang Palace, and Er Zhu Ying'e hated her husband Er Zhu Zhao, so she fled back to Jinyang desperately. There is also her mother, Princess Beixiang, as well as the second brother Chaluo, the fourth brother Wen Chang, and the younger brother Wen Luo (Erzhu Rong gave birth to five sons, of which the eldest son Erzhu Bodhi died together with Erzhu Rong in the Mingguang Palace, and the third son Erzhu Wenshu died young). However, what she didn't expect was that what happened after returning to Jinyang was even more unbearable than Luoyang--- her cousin Er Zhuzhao, who was always giggling and low-eyed and smooth-eyed, suddenly changed to a different person, and he was still light at her, and after the New Year, he actually confined her whole family at home.
At the beginning of February, several of Aya's old friends quarreled and shouted that they wanted their second brother Cha Luo to succeed Aya's royal title. Erzhu Ying'e was also happy for a while, but only two days later, the second brother Chaluo... Chaluo, who was stronger than a calf, was summoned by Erzhu Zhao to a banquet and came back, and suddenly vomited blood at night, and at dawn, he vomited to death. My mother cried so sadly, she kept crying and crying, and finally her eyes were blind.
The fourth brother Wen Chang was not convinced, and one day he was looking for an opportunity, and the guy injured the guard outside the door, grabbed a horse and rushed out, saying that he was going to find Erzhu Zhao theory... When he came back, Erzhu Wenchang had already become a cold corpse--- it was said that he was careless and died by hitting the wall, but the fourth brother's body clearly had a few knife wounds...
Since the day the fourth brother died, my mother has never eaten a grain of rice or drank a sip of water. Three days later, Princess Beixiang's soul returned to the West Heaven, and when she died, she murmured: "Brother Rong, I'm here... ”
Erzhu Ying'e also thought about death, but the baby in her arms always flashed with a pair of big eyes, staring at her innocently...
Today, Tu'er is gone, should I die? Erzhu Ying'e thought stupidly, the chill on the ground invaded, and her body gradually became numb...
"Sister! Sister! What's wrong with you? Don't scare me! A crisp child's voice sounded, and a figure pounced on Er Zhu Ying'e's body, bringing a bit of warmth, not much, but it was real.
This is Erzhurong's only remaining son, six-year-old Erzhu Wenluo. His eyes were full of fear and panic, and he stared at Erzhu Ying'e, just like the little baby in Yuantu...
"I'm fine! Don't be afraid. Erzhu Ying'e suddenly straightened up, hugged Erzhu Wenluo, and held it tightly in her arms. Er Zhu Wen turned his back to her, and he couldn't see his sister's blood-red eyes, which were full of light: "Yuan Ziyou should die, Er Zhu Zhao... More damn it! ”
。。。。。。
In the third-level Buddhist temple, Yuan Ziyou once again rejected Er Zhuzhao's request for him to write a letter ordering Sudouling Bufan to retire.
In front of the statue of the golden-bodied Bodhisattva, the ghost-like Erzhu Zhao went crazy, and the small Yuan Tu was slammed to the ground by him, and there was no sound.
Yuan Ziyou finally burst into tears and muttered: "I wish to live in the world, not in the emperor's family." After that, he closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, like an old monk in his meditation.
"Very good! Then you will die! Erzhu Zhao was furious and walked away.
Bai Aya hung down and put it around Yuan Ziyu's neck, and the executioner asked cautiously according to the usual practice: "Your Majesty... What else do you have to say before you die? ”
"Thank you, but there is a five-word song here." Yuan Ziyou smiled faintly: "The right to live is promoted, and the road to death is long." Go out of the country with a grudge and enter a ghost country with sorrow. The tunnel door is closed for a while, how can the secluded court be restored? Thinking of the birds and singing of the green pines, the mournful wind blows the poplars. In the past, I smelled the bitterness of death, how can I say that I should be myself! ”
