Volume 2: Rivers, Lakes and Seas Chapter 7: The father and son of Qianyang Palace defended, and Yun Xingyan was bitter and sweet
But the 3,000 battalions that rushed to him didn't give him a chance to think about it, the terrain outside Luoyang City was flat, just giving the cavalry a chance to charge into battle, only to see a man in a linen cloth with a spear in his hand, attacking Wei Ran's Chinese army in the midst of ten thousand troops, Wei Ran was pierced through the chest by the man's spear before Wei Ran could react!
"Uh...... It's you?! ”
Wei Ran looked at the man with wide eyes, and said, "I didn't expect me to die at the hands of a nobody like you, hateful, hateful......"
The man quickly pulled out the sword at his waist, cut off Wei Ran's head, and shouted loudly with his head: "The traitor Wei Ran has been beheaded by me Chen Hengzhi!" ”
Chen Hengzhi looked up to the sky and roared, like a lion gradually waking up, the surrounding Luoyang army immediately gave up resistance after seeing Wei Ran's head, and the enemy troops outside the Vermilion Bird Gate surrendered one after another, at this time Yun Tianqing rode his horse and said: "The emperor said, today's matter is Wei Ran's fault alone, and you and others have also been bewitched by thieves, and I am not to blame for the past!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing!"
Suddenly, the news of Wei Ran's beheading spread, and the crisis in Luoyang was finally resolved, Emperor Wu looked at Chen Hengzhi's figure on the Luan car in the distance, and asked, "Who is that person named Chen Hengzhi?" Entering the army of ten thousand people is like a no-man's land, and he is really a tiger general! ”
Li Ying said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this person is the grandson of General Chen Qingzhi and the son of Chen Ziyun."
"The Chen family?"
Emperor Wu nodded, remembered an old incident, and said slowly: "The general of the Wang Division is not imprisoned, and thousands of troops avoid white robes...... It's a pity that Chen Qingzhi's prestige was lost by Chen Ziyun! Emperor Wu shook his head and said, "Enter the city!" ”
At this time, Long Junxian and the others knelt on the ground to greet them, shouting: "Ministers and others greet Your Majesty-"
At night, inside the Qianyang Palace
Emperor Wu sat on the dragon chair, and under the main hall kneeling was Yun Luotian in prison clothes, Emperor Wu threw Wei Ran's head in front of him, and Yun Luotian shouted: "Uncle! I hurt you, uncle......" Ruthless as Yun Luotian, after seeing Wei Ran's head, he couldn't help but cry sadly, Emperor Wu looked at him with complicated eyes, and asked, "Say, why did you do this unethical thing?" ”
"Why?"
Yun Luotian looked up at Emperor Wu and said coldly: "I've been the crown prince for more than thirty years, I've had enough!" You said that you are in your sixties, and you still shamelessly occupy the throne, how can you command the world? ”
"That's it?"
Emperor Wu held back his anger and said: "Do you know that among these princes, I cherish you the most, and I love you the most, as soon as you are born, I will give you the position of crown prince, and our father-son relationship is no match for a dragon chair?!" ”
"If you really cherish me, then you abdicate!" Yun Luotian stood up, looked directly at Emperor Wu without hesitation, and choked Emperor Wu with a self-respecting posture......
"You ......"
Emperor Wu coughed twice, Li Ying hurriedly came over to help, and Emperor Wu roared: "Ahhhhh......hh Rebel son, do you know that I am not only the emperor, but also your father! ”
"So what?!"
Yun Luotian's eyes widened, with an expression of eagerness to eat Emperor Wu, and said: "Emperor Yang Guang of Sui killed the monarch and seized the throne, but he built a canal to open up a thousand rivers and attract all countries to come to court, isn't he a good emperor?" The change of Tang Taizong Li Shimin's Xuanwu Gate forced Gaozu to abdicate, which created the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty...... I have the appearance of an emperor in Yunluo Sky, but I can only be a prince, which is a great shame for me! ”
"Stubborn! If someone comes, you can pass a decree to abolish the position of the prince of Yunluo and ban him in the evening song garden! Emperor Wu waved his hand, and the armor soldier on the side dragged Yun Luotian out, and Yun Luotian roared:
I want to sing the world, but the ancient road is desolate,
The flags are full of grievances, and the eternals sigh.
The power of the void floats horizontally, the waning moon lifts the clouds, and the gale suddenly rises!
The country is picturesque, how many heroic tears, the destruction of the world, all! Blow! Scatter!
In this way, Yun Luotian, who was above 10,000 people under one person, withdrew from the stage in this way, and everyone waiting in the side hall at this time was curious about how Emperor Wu would deal with Yun Luotian, after all, Emperor Wu's doting on him was obvious to all, so Yun Qiancheng and Yun Zizhong, the two powerful princes, were very concerned about this.
Yun Qiancheng paced back and forth in the hall, stopping and stopping, and at this time, the eunuch who announced the decree came out and said: "Your Majesty has an order, from now on, depose the position of the prince of Yunluo Tian, and ban him in the evening song garden for life, and the twilight Zhenghao will tell the world that there must be no mistakes, and this ......"
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard the news, especially Yun Zizhong, who wasted so much effort to bring down the crown prince, and now among the princes, there is only Yun Qiancheng who has the strength to compete with him, but after all, this person is not resourceful enough, so there is no need to worry at all!
Of course, the biggest beneficiary after the fall of the crown prince is the Du family, who holds the defense of Gyeonggi and has a lot of influence on the local area, as soon as Wei Xiang dies, as long as the old guy Qu Changning is also pulled off the horse, no one will be able to balance the Dui family in this Manchu Dynasty!
However, it turns out that Emperor Wu also thought of this, and issued an order to reward everyone, and ordered Du Zhenghao to remove the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and received the provincial order of Zhongshu, and his son Du Ke continued to serve as a squire in the Ministry of War.
At the same time, in order to balance the Dusk family, Emperor Wu ordered Qu Changning to serve as the secretary of the military department, so that the order of the court was completely disrupted, and the position of the prime minister was temporarily replaced, and the Fengge Luantai Ping Zhangshi was directly acted, and at the same time, Emperor Wu also sealed Chen Hengzhi as a general, which was subordinate to the commander of the five battalions of the Jiumen Infantry Army.
Afterwards, inside the Nine Emperors' Mansion
Yun Huaying and the others said with a smile: "Congratulations to Brother Jiu, now that Yun Luotian has no possibility of turning over, the future crown prince must be yours of Brother Jiu!" ”
"Hahahaha......"
Yun Zizhong also left his past calmness behind at this time, turned to laugh wildly, and then waved his hand and said, "Hey...... Tenth brother, you said it too early, my father hasn't made an edict yet."
"What's that?" The Seventh Prince, Yun Xinghe, patted Yun Zizhong on the shoulder and said, "Now that Yun Luotian is finished, who of the brothers is not convinced by the ninth brother?" Could it be that the crown prince's position can still fall to the idiot of Yun Qiancheng? ”
Yun Zizhong nodded and said: "That's a good thing to say, but that Qu Changning has a lot to do with Yun Qiancheng after all, and now that he is back in charge of the military department, I am afraid that we will be a big rival in the future, besides, you seem to have forgotten one person......"
Yun Huaying asked puzzledly, "Oh? Who can make Brother Jiu so jealous?"
Yun Zizhong picked up the teacup and said slowly: "Cloud, sky, clear!" ”
A few days later, outside the door of the imperial study
Yun Tianqing waited anxiously outside, but Emperor Wu still didn't see anyone, obviously Yun Luotian had dealt him a huge blow, but the Luoyang Rebellion had been pacified, and Yun Xingyan was still locked up in the Criminal Department, so how could Yun Tianqing, who was his younger brother, not be in a hurry?
A quarter of an hour later, the door was opened, and Li Ying walked out and said, "Twelve princes, Your Majesty has promised to see you!" ”
Yun Tianqing arched his hand and said, "Thank you father-in-law for the report, Tianqing has thanked you here......"
Li Ying was very useful in his heart, and hurriedly helped: "Hey, you are too polite, this is just the duty of being a slave, besides, Your Majesty is now emotionally stable, so it is best to say that there is something to say now!" Yun Tianqing nodded, and handed a golden bean to Li Ying without a trace, and now he smiled even more happily.
Yun Tianqing walked into the imperial study, saw Emperor Wu sitting at the desk in a daze, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "The son of the emperor to meet his father"
Emperor Wu: "Ah, is Tianqing coming?" Get up! ”
"Thank you, Father!"
Yun Tianqing stood up, did not directly mention Yun Xingyan's matter, but instead started a routine with Emperor Wu, and said, "Is my father still sad about the matter of the prince's brother?" ”
"Hmm"
Emperor Wu said: "I usually cherish him the most, but I never wanted to cause the disaster now, if you didn't bring troops here, I'm afraid I would have been poisoned by this rebel!" ”
Yun Tianqing said humbly: "Father and Emperor have praised it, in fact, all this is the third brother's plan, and the son is just acting in a plan......
Emperor Wu nodded and said, "The third ...... By the way, where is the third child now? ”
Yun Tianqing: "Enlighten the father, the emperor's brother is in the prison of the criminal department"
"Oh, I'm so confused!"
Emperor Wu patted his head and said with a slight shame: "Why didn't anyone remind me, come here, release Yun Xingyan immediately!" ”
"No"
The eunuch who served on the side nodded and withdrew from the imperial study, Emperor Wu stood up at this time and walked down the steps, patted Yun Tianqing on the shoulder, and said: "Tianqing, you have handled the Yunluotian riot very properly, it can be seen that you are just unwilling to publicize it on weekdays, not just greedy for pleasure, I decided to make you the Marquis of Wu'an, eat thousands of households, and lead the Luoyang Zhonghu Army, what do you think?" ”
Yun Tianqing knelt down and thanked him, and when he saw that Emperor Wu was gone, Yun Tianqing reminded him: "Father, my imperial brother, he?" ……”
Emperor Wu waved his hand and said, "Didn't you ask someone to release him?" If you don't have anything to do, step down! Emperor Wu issued an order to expel guests, Yun Tianqing had no choice but to give up, he originally wanted to ask Yun Xingyan for a half-official position, but Emperor Wu was obviously not happy.
An hour later, the Yamen of the Criminal Department
Yun Tianqing, Chen Hengzhi, and Chu Xiangling came to the lobby of the Criminal Department to raise people, and were warmly received by Di Yuanjie, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department......
Yun Tianqing: "Brother Huang"
Chen Hengzhi: "Three Princes"
Chu Xiangling: "Engong"
The three of them surrounded each other, and Chu Xiangling said: "Look, I'll just say that Engong Hongfu Qitian, now that he is out of trouble, isn't it good luck next?" Even Brother Chen was made a partial general, Engong, aren't you one step to the sky? ”
Chen Hengzhi: "Yes, the third prince, now it's really hard work!" ”
Yun Tianqing saw that everyone had ignited Yun Xingyan's hope, and his heart was very uncomfortable, after all, he was the one who contributed the most, and he was also the one who suffered, and now even he was sealed, he was really afraid that Yun Xingyan would not be able to accept it after learning the truth!
