Wen Yu was seriously injured, and he almost fell directly with his head covered when he rushed out of Yumen Pass with Dong Jun, but he was pulled by Dong Jun so that he did not fall, Dong Jun carried Wen Yu on his horse and galloped towards Antelope City.

At this moment, outside the Antelope City, dozens of remnants covered in blood were daring to come from outside the city, and the soldiers defending the city hurriedly ran over to support them after seeing it.

"What's going on?"

"The Yumen Pass has been broken, and General Wenyu's whereabouts are unknown, hurry up and report to the general." The man was barely able to breathe, and then passed out.

After hearing this, Wu Chang immediately ordered his subordinates to take care of them, and he hurried to the barracks to report to Cui Zheng that the Yumen Pass was broken, and this matter was not trivial, and it was a major matter for the entire Zhao State.

Wu Chang rushed straight to Cui Zheng's camp and was intercepted.

"Who's here?"

"The defenders of Antelope City have to tell the general again!" Wu Chang was very anxious.

"Let's go inside." The man looked flustered when he saw Wu Chang, and he had seen him once or twice when he had been drinking in the past, so he didn't embarrass him, so he let him go directly.

After Captain Wu entered.

"General, something is wrong! According to the report of the defeated army, the Yumen Pass was broken, and the whereabouts of General Wen Yu were unknown, and his life and death were uncertain. ”

Cui Zheng was stunned for a while, and shouted angrily with disbelief on his face: "Impossible! I only gave Wen Yu a strong general two days ago, how could it be broken today! ”

"Earlier today, dozens of defeated troops from Antelope City said, I don't know the specifics."

"Where's the person?"

"On the way to the barracks."

When Cui Zheng heard this, he rushed out of the camp and led the horses in the barracks to find the defeated army.

"Tell me what's going on?" Choi Zheng found the defeated army.

"General, we are General Wen Yu's subordinates, the Yumen closed out the spies, opened the gate at night, hundreds of thousands of northern barbarians rushed into the pass, General Wen Yu ordered us to come out for help, and we fought bloodily and swore not to retreat." The man clutched his chest and endured the pain.

"Who was the guard on the night of the Jade Gate Pass?" Cui Zheng asked again.

"This..." The man stopped talking.

"Say!"

"It's Bai Xing, that person I drank with him, he seems to be Zuo Guozhu's brother... The man made up his mind before he spoke.

"Bai Ziqian! You pig and dog are inferior brute! You dare to do such a thing as fornicating with the Northern Barbarians and betraying your ancestors! Cui Zheng was furious, and in a hurry, he fell off his horse and fainted.

Wu Chang happened to follow behind and saw this scene, and immediately helped Cui Zheng to the military camp and found a doctor with the battalion to come and treat him.

Cui Zheng woke up and asked, "What's your name?" ”

Wu Chang said in a deep voice: "The little one's name is Fang Wei. ”

"Very good, do a good job, and make more military achievements."

"Yes!" Fang Wei smiled.

"Now that you're Captain Renyong, go down! By the way, tell them that the personnel above the captain of Zhaowu came to discuss the matter! ”

A crowd gathered in the big tent.

"I believe you have all heard it, the Yumen Pass has been broken, and the next target of the Northern Barbarians is this Antelope City, if the Antelope City is also broken, then what awaits the people of Zhao is the ruthless trampling of the Northern Barbarians, and the only thing we can do is to defend this city for the people of Zhao even if we die!"

"Obey your lordship!"

"From today onwards, the garrisons of all parts of Antelope City will be doubled, and you will have to do the defense of the city every night, and you will be strictly guarded! Got it? ”

"Yes!"

Cui Zheng sat down on the chair after everyone left, and lamented: "Wenyu, you must live." ”

When the defeat report entered Antelope City, it was also sent to the capital for the first time, and the capital was panicked, everyone knew that Yumen Pass was the first pass in the world and was broken within a few days, and many businessmen had already begun to pack up and prepare to go south.

Although Lu Yu was surprised when he heard it, he didn't panic, but quietly didn't make too many comments, and didn't send people to support Antelope City, but just wrote a letter and sent it to Cui Zheng.

"10,000 people in exchange for my son, can you do this deal? I think it will definitely be done! Lu Yu secretly thought in his heart, the next thing is how to deal with Yang Liangru.

Since Lu Yu's successful seizure of power, Yang Liangru dismissed his protégés, even so, there are still about 100 people on Yang Liangru's side, if these people are wiped out, where should I find someone to fill the gap in so many positions.

Lu Yu thought while walking, and unconsciously came to the place where the old man was, Lu Yu looked at the courtyard wall, thought about it and knocked on the door.

The child opened the door as usual to let Lu Yu in, and Lu Yu saw the old man after entering.

"Sir, the former officials of Yang Liang's Confucian protégés are all over the government and the opposition, if all of them are suppressed and dismissed, how can the multiple gaps be filled?"

The old man said lightly: "Which of his protégés and former officials is a child of the big family?" It is not easy to fill the gap, it is nothing more than the new establishment of the Son of Heaven to grant amnesty to the world and add an additional imperial examination. ”

"It's just that this time the imperial examination can't be quiet, and let those scholars make up for those gaps."

Lu Yu wanted to say something more, but was blocked back by the old man, "I know what you want to say, the first emperor did something wrong in this matter, and the family has been the object of the royal family since ancient times, even if you don't win over, you can't suppress it." ”

"But once this happens, the imperial power will inevitably fall, and it will be extremely unfavorable for the Zhao State for the scholars to become bigger."

"Do you think the emperor's summons can still order those people now?"

"This..." Lu Yu was speechless.

"Yang Liangru will do it tonight, do it cleanly, and bring more people."

"I'll go to the palace now to ask for the emperor's will." Lu Yu immediately retired and took the carriage to the palace.

Lu Yu went directly into the harem, and the harem guards immediately lowered their heads as if they didn't see anything after seeing Lu Yu, and Lu Yu snorted and went to the palace where Lu Yun was.

"Long live the emperor." Lu Yu didn't even kneel, Zhao Fu was sitting in Lu Yun's arms in women's makeup, but Lu Yun was sitting on the bed in a yellow robe.

It was not Zhao Fu who answered, but Lu Yun, "What's the matter?" ”

"The Jade Gate Pass was broken, and a spy opened the gate to welcome the North Barbarian into the Pass, according to investigation, the guard that night was a student of the old lady."

"Daddy can do whatever he wants!" Lu Yun stood up, put Zhao Fu on it, walked to the bed, took out the jade seal, and handed it to Lu Yu.

Lu Yu took the jade seal and said with a smile: "It seems that the emperor is already in your hands, very good." ”

Lu Yun smiled: "He is like a child now, look at my yellow robe, he also said that he wants me to be the emperor, but ah, if this emperor wants to do it, it must be my younger brother." ”

Lu Yu thought about it and asked Lu Yun to study ink, make an order for the emperor, write it, print it and return it to Lu Yun for Lu Yun to put away.

Lu Yun nodded and said, "Is there any news of the eldest brother?" So long? ”

"I've been trapped in Antelope City, and I'm going to use 10,000 elite soldiers plus all the dragon guards in Lai'an City to exchange for a stinky boy to come back, but I don't know if Cui Zheng is willing or not." Lu Yu also regretted his son when he said that he didn't expect Cui Zheng to dare to put Lu Ji under house arrest.

"I'm leaving, you stay good." Lu Yu said that he left the harem with the holy decree.

Lu Yu found Xu Zhi, the commander of the forbidden army. In order to be able to borrow the Praetorian Guard, Lu Yu also deliberately showed the holy decree to Xu Zhi.

"How many soldiers do you want?"

"Five hundred."

"Okay."

Lu Yu took the five hundred Praetorian Guards borrowed from Xu Zhina and waited in the palace until the evening before taking the Praetorian Guards to Yang Liangru's mansion.

Lu Yu looked at the three words of Taifu Mansion on the gate and muttered: "After fighting for twenty years, today is finally the last day." ”

Lu Yu held up the holy decree and opened it and shouted: "The old lady fornicated with the Northern Barbarians, and she is a sinner of the Zhao Kingdom through the ages!" He deserves to be punished! Destroy the Nine Clans! ”

"Kill!" With Lu Yu's order, five hundred Praetorian Guards rushed in and killed people when they saw them.

Lu Yu turned over and dismounted and walked in, and walked straight to the middle hall, but saw Yang Liangru sitting on a chair.

"What? Odd? Yang Liangru asked.

Lu Yu didn't speak, and also found a place to sit down.

"You really impress me, the hairy boy twenty years ago was able to lead troops to rush into Taifu's house today." Yang Liangru smiled indifferently, "I'm a dying person, what's the matter?" Still afraid of me? ”

"You have scared me for twenty years, and I feel uneasy if you don't close your eyes!" Lu Yu groaned.

"The old man has made many people sleep badly every day in the past 20 years, but it has also made many people sleep very steadily, and after today, it is time to flip over." Yang Liangru is not afraid of death, "After I leave, Zhao Guo will be handed over to you, you must guard it!" ”

Lu Yu stood up and made a move.

"You and I are fighting for nothing more than a struggle between party members, but in the final analysis, it's all for Zhao Guo, can you promise me one thing?"

Lu Yu nodded.

"My granddaughter is only ten years old this year, and I hope you will let her go." Yang Liangru took out a few letters from his sleeve and put them on the table, and then said: "These things are exchanged for my granddaughter's life, okay?" ”

Lu Yu picked up the letters from the table and read them one by one, and Lu Yu didn't dare to read them all after reading the connected letters.

"The old man has not begged anyone since he came out, and today the old man begs you to spare her life." Yang Liangru pleaded.

Lu Yu glanced at the box in the room and said, "The one in the box?" ”

Yang Liangru nodded.

"Come on, send that box out of Lai'an City overnight and go south to Guangling, Jiangnan, find a person named Ning Xiang, give this box to her, and tell her to let her have a good life and raise."

"Yes." The man came and carried the box out.

"Thank you." Yang Liangru closed his eyes and went to die peacefully.

"The old lady is loyal to the country, how can he add a knife and axe, come to someone, and serve wine for the princess." Lu Yu stopped the sergeant who was about to step forward.

"The old man wishes that the Zhao family will continue to be a country!" Yang Liangru said that, he drank poisoned wine and vomited blood and died.

Lu Yu revealed to the world the next day that Chen Ming's old lady had fornicated with the Northern Barbarians, punished the nine clans, and in the next few days, he dismissed Yang Liangru's protégé and former officials with lightning speed, and most of them were imprisoned, relying on Yang Liangru's letter.

Later, it was called the emperor's new establishment and amnesty to the world. All the imprisoned officials were returned to the countryside, and once again a imperial examination was carried out only among the scholars, and in that year, hundreds of children of the great families entered the court as officials.
