Chapter 1457: An Uninvited Guest
Lu Zhongtian seemed to faint with sadness, after Guo Xu's motorteam left the city, Lu Zhongtian couldn't even stand, and he could only stand with the support of Lu Tianci beside him.
Although Lu Tianci's face was also sad, his heart had already blossomed. Dad is really good, he dares to do this kind of thing, and he really did it. The Great Zhou Jiangshan has become the Lu family, and my father is old and can't live for a few days. Soon he will be the emperor himself. I didn't expect it, I didn't expect to be an emperor, it's just great. You can do whatever you want. When he became the emperor, the first thing he did was to bring the drunken spring building and lilies to the palace to serve him. These two stinky bitches have been thinking about them for many days, but they want to say that they don't sell their bodies. I'm just holding their bodies, singing and dancing, I'm not interested.
"Lu Xiang, please don't be sad. We respectfully ask Lu Xiang to preside over the overall situation. The country cannot be left without an owner for a day, the emperor's edict made it clear that he wanted to give the throne to Lu Xiang and let Lu Xiang preside over the overall situation of the Great Zhou. Please ask Lu Xiangjie to take the position and stabilize the overall situation. Lu Tianci's thoughts were interrupted by Chen Jue's voice, and when he looked at it, he saw Chen Jue and dozens of civil and military officials standing in front of him, bowing down in unison.
"We respectfully invite Lu Xiang to take the throne and preside over the overall situation of the Great Zhou." A cadre of officials said in unison.
Lu Zhongtian paused and scolded: "What are you talking nonsense? This is the world of the Great Zhou, the Guo family, the old man is the courtier of the Great Zhou, how can he ascend the throne? The emperor is still here, how can it be that when talking about these things at this moment, Hugh told me to be an unfaithful and unrighteous minister, and leave a name for eternity. ”
"Lu Xiang, the emperor's edict is clear, I want to give you the throne. The emperor has no heirs, do you want to let Guo Kun's traitor come back to be the emperor? Lu Xiangde is highly respected, and he is a loyal minister who abides by the guards of his courtiers. But my Great Zhou is already about to collapse, how can no one hold up this sky? At that time, the three holy monarchs of Yao Shunyu were not heirs, and they were all enthroned because of their virtues, and they also ruled the world. Today's emperor is following the legacy of the ancient sages and saints, and there is nothing wrong with it. Besides, did Lu Xiang watch the people in this city without a leader and become slaves of the country? If Lu Xiang still feels uneasy in his heart, why not temporarily take the throne first, and then return the emperor to him in the future. This is an act of great loyalty, a good story for the ages, why is it disloyal and unjust? If you say that you are disloyal and unjust, hundreds of civil and military officials, and millions of soldiers and civilians in Bianliang City are all disloyal and unjust. Lu Xiangmo forgot that the emperor voluntarily went to the enemy camp precisely because he wanted to protect the Great Zhou Dynasty and the lives of millions of people in Bianliang City. Does Lu Xiang want the emperor's intentions to be in vain? Let the emperor trap them in the enemy camp in vain? Liu Zhenbang stepped forward and said loudly.
Liu Zhenbang is worthy of being a scholar, and his remarks are reasonable, righteous, and impeccable. If Lu Zhongtian did not follow Guo Xu's edict to ascend the throne, he would have become an unfaithful and unrighteous person. And the most powerful thing is that Daode kidnapped all the officials and people, they are all disloyal and unrighteous people in this matter, even if Lu Zhongtian's accession to the throne as emperor is disloyal and unjust, it is not the turn of these people to make irresponsible remarks.
"What Lord Liu said is very true, Lu Xiang, don't hesitate. We are willing to assist you in revitalizing the Great Zhou and washing away the shame. Today's humiliation will be written down, and the situation will be stabilized first. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and one day, he will regain face and wash the Jurchens in blood. But if the situation is not stabilized at this moment, the Great Zhou has no owner, and the world is in chaos, the Jurchens will rebel, and the situation will be even more sinister at that time. Zhu Zhirong, the same governor of Kaifeng Mansion, shouted. Please Lu Xiang do not hesitate, for the sake of the Great Zhou Jiangshan Society, for the hundreds of millions of Li people, please be sure to take on this important responsibility. This move is in line with the will of heaven and is imperative. Wanglu Xiang conforms to the will of heaven. The ministers fell to their knees and shouted loudly.
Lu Zhongtian frowned, his face gloomy, but he refused to express his position.
The tens of thousands of people around were watching all this in front of them, and some of them knew it in their hearts, they knew that this was just a play. But the vast majority of people don't know what's going on. At the beginning, they certainly felt that Lu Zhongtian was on the throne and became the emperor, how to think about it, how to feel awkward, and felt that Lu Zhongtian was suspected of taking the opportunity to usurp the throne. The feeling is not strong, but it lingers. But now, the officials of the Manchu Dynasty are asking Lu Zhongtian to be the emperor, and they have said so many very reasonable things, it seems that if Lu Zhongtian is not the emperor, the Great Zhou will not be saved, and the emperor Guo Xu will also go to die in vain. Lu Zhongtian doesn't seem to want to be the emperor either, but he has been refusing to refuse. Thinking about it like this, he felt that he seemed to be living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and Lu Zhongtian might not be willing to do this at all.
"Please ask Lu Xiang to preside over the overall situation and save us from fire and water, except for you, no one can save Da Zhou." Some of the people fell to their knees and cried out. There are a lot of people, and the voice is quite loud.
The people who didn't know what was going on involuntarily knelt on the ground, shouted a few words, and suddenly felt that it was natural and righteous, as if Lu Zhongtian should really become the emperor immediately, otherwise the future would be dark. The mentality of the people is actually very easy to grasp, as long as someone takes the lead, they will follow even if they don't understand the truth of the matter. Some people kneel down and ask as if if they don't kneel down and fall behind, and they will be looked down upon. More and more people knelt down, and finally formed a sound like a mountain and a tsunami.
The biggest stone in Lu Zhongtian's heart fell to the ground, and it was still useful to arrange a large number of supports among the people. The people, who didn't understand anything, finally cried out. They had forgotten that they were still crying for Guo Xu a moment ago. I agreed with them at the moment, and they had nothing to say.
"Hey, what are you doing...... You are forcing me to be unfaithful and unrighteous. But in this case, I dare not disobey the emperor's holy will, and I dare not live up to the trust of the people. The old man agreed. But there is one thing that the old man said first, the old man is not the emperor, and the old man is only the regent. The old man did not dare to sit on the emperor's throne. When the situation stabilizes, the old man should look for a suitable candidate for the Guo family. Prior to this, the old man only acted as the emperor in the name of the regent. If you agree to the old man's condition, the old man will do it. If he doesn't agree, the old man vows to die. Lu Zhongtian said in a deep voice.
Of course, Lu Zhongtian knew that hastily and forcibly becoming the emperor would cause disgust among many people, and he felt this. So he adopted a compromise approach, first as a regent. Once the people of the world get used to him as the master, everything will be natural at that time.
The confidants knew what they meant, so they said: "According to you, I will wait for this to prepare the gift of the king and announce it to the whole city." Please ask Lu Xiang to get in the car and go back to the palace. ”
Lu Zhongtian sighed, his body was no longer weak, his head was no longer dizzy, and he straightened his clothes and walked to his car. A group of officials followed him closely, and the stars surrounded him like the moon.
Just as Lu Zhongtian lowered his head and drilled into his luxurious car, the roar of popping beans outside the north gate, as well as an even greater sound of vibration, suddenly came. The rumbling sound was like thunder rolling and deafening. It was accompanied by bursts of shouts of killing.
"What's going on?" Lu Zhongtian turned around and asked in astonishment.
The officials were also dumbfounded, and no one knew what was happening. At this moment, the generals and defenders at the head of the city shouted: "The fight has started, and near the left of the Jurchen camp, a cavalry rushed over and fought. ”
Lu Zhongtian's face changed drastically, and he rushed to the city in three steps and two steps, looking around. Sure enough, a few miles away, in the direction of the Jurchen camp, puffs of black smoke rose into the sky, and the sound of roaring explosions continued to come one after another. A large number of cavalry seemed to be in the middle of a melee, making a mess.
"What's going on? Whose soldiers? Chen Jue asked in astonishment.
"Could it be that the cavalry of the Northwest Army who retreated is coming to fight again?" Wang Jun frowned.
Lu Zhongtian's face turned pale, and he said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid it's not them." ”
"Whose soldiers and horses are fighting with the Jurchens?" Everyone turned their heads and asked in unison.
Lu Zhongtian sneered and said, "He's here, he finally appeared." ”
……
The convoy escorting Guo Xu to the Jurchen camp was bumpy in the wilderness, the effect of the boiling medicine slowly subsided, Guo Xu's tongue could already speak vaguely, and his hands and feet could bounce slightly autonomously. He wanted to plead with the guards next to the car to let him go, but he knew it was impossible. Instead, they know that they can speak, that the effects of the medicine are passing. So he decided to remain silent and wait for an opportunity to escape.
The dark carriage swayed, Guo Xu heard the sound of horses' hooves, followed by the sound of people speaking the official dialect of the Great Zhou with an exotic accent handing over to the guards who escorted him. Guo Xu's heart was completely cold, the Jurchens had already taken over, and there was no hope for everything. Guo Xu decided, he would recover his strength in a while, and he would kill himself as soon as possible, and he would never be humiliated by the Jurchens.
The Jurchens sent a cavalry team of hundreds of men to take over the prisoner emperor of the Great Zhou into the camp, and Hulu grabbed the errand. After taking over, he even lifted the window and glanced at Guo Chong, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who was sitting in the car, with a hippie smile. However, for Hu Lu, this ordinary-looking and pale-faced emperor was far less interesting than the few Great Zhou princesses in the cars behind. One of the princesses with a round face and big eyes was really smart, and Hu Lu was so greedy that he almost drooled on the spot.
Hu Lu's mind was still on the royal princesses in the cart. On the eastern side of the wilderness, a cavalry of less than a thousand men rushed forward like a lightning speed. When Hulu and the others found their traces, they were already outside Rich.
Hu Lu hurriedly ordered to speed up to the camp at once, and at the same time sounded the horn of warning. Hu Lu felt that the other party would never dare to attack him so close to the camp. They will be quickly intercepted by their own men and horses in the battalion. However, he was wrong. Even though he had already rushed to the south gate of the camp less than eight hundred steps, even though the thousands of Jurchen cavalry in the camp had already poured out of the camp gate to meet him. The cavalryman who came out of nowhere still rushed straight into their faces. The next moment, the Jurchen cavalry encountered a nightmare that they had never experienced in their lives.
