Chapter 241: Scarlet Xuanwu
Just as Gu Daoyuan was stunned and then muttered to himself, the side of the hall gate suddenly rose into chaos after a few quiet breaths as Deng Ziwen fell to the ground.
It turned out that after the traitors beside Deng Ziwen saw Xuanshan leaving, they dared to carefully crowd Deng Ziwen who fell to the ground, but found that the chief who was still complacent had completely lost his breath at this time.
The people at the gate of the temple immediately began to scatter and flee like boiling water in a pot.
It's just that there are also thoughtful people among these people, and they know that it must be useless to escape at this moment, so they picked up their weapons and wanted to make a final effort, so someone rushed in the direction where Qin Gong was.
Of course, there are those who are stunned and at a loss. Except for the cowardly, the vast majority of these people turned out to be those neutrals who had just temporarily joined Deng Ziwen's party.
But no matter who they were, the moment they made their final decision, they were all destined to become Deng Ziwen's burial companions, because most of the Iron Eagle swordsmen who entered the temple with Deng Ziwen were Xuanshan's subordinates.
Naturally, these people would not sit idly by and watch the existence of those who threatened Qin Gong and Gu Daoyuan and others, so under a burst of swords, with the continuous flickering of the sword light and sword shadow, those Iron Eagle swordsmen who were exhausted from fighting for Deng Ziwen fell to the ground one after another.
The courtiers who were attached to Deng Ziwen and Yongluan were knocked to the ground one after another, but they were not killed.
Because even though these people participated in the coup d'Γ©tat, they were still aristocrats. And these rescued Iron Eagle swordsmen, before they got the edict, how many of them dared to kill the nobles.
A moment later, as the head of the last rebel swordsman standing in the hall fell to the ground, the corpses in the Xuanwu Hall also reached the peak that could be reached today. Because in the Xuanwu Palace, there are not many people left alive.
"Your Majesty, the rebellion in the palace has been killed, and there is still an Iron Eagle rebel loyal to Deng Ziwen outside the Xuanwu Palace, and he is now at war with Mr. Xuanshan.
I am waiting for Mr. Xuanshan's order to protect Jun Zhou Quan, and I hope that Jun will make plans as soon as possible. β
After slashing and slashing the rebellion, a burly Iron Eagle swordsman stepped over the corpses in the hall and saluted the monarch and Gu Daoyuan and the others.
After the burly eagle guard finished speaking, Gu Daoyuan, who was covered in blood, turned around and glanced at Qin Gong, who was still dazed at this time, and said to Qin Gong with a sigh:
"Your Majesty, it seems that Wang Bin has indeed died, and there is no safety inside and outside the palace, and there is no safety in Xijing.
Deng Wei said that the right army will arrive in Xijing in a few days, and the army of Qi will appear outside Xijing at any time, and this matter will never be a rumor that Deng Wei confuses the public, so please make plans as soon as possible. β
Qin Gongyong glanced at Gu Daoyuan blankly, and there was a hint of longing for support and fear of no one daring to believe it in his eyes.
Although he understands that if it weren't for Gu Daoyuan and others to strategize today, they would not hesitate to fight for their lives, I am afraid that he would become the first monarch in the history of the nations to be killed by the palace.
However, he also had a trace of doubt in his heart, he thought that even Deng Ziwen would betray him, so these subordinates of the Central and Left Guards were even more untrustworthy.
But now is obviously not a good time to think about loyalty, so he slowly stood up and asked Gu Daoyuan gently:
"Gu Qing's family, is there anyone in the forbidden army who can protect the widow?"
Gu Daoyuan shook his head with a wry smile when he heard this, and replied: "Your Excellency, although there are still about 20,000 forbidden troops in Xijing City, I am afraid that there must be traitors among these people who are inserted by the right guard and Deng Yi.
Otherwise, Commander Wang would not have only agreed to lead more than 1,000 personal soldiers to kill Deng Yi last night.
The commander of the king is also a person who is familiar with military affairs, and he has been in charge of the forbidden army for three years, so he does not know how the faction of the generals under his command belongs.
Since he didn't dare to move the forbidden army, how could we dare to pin our hopes on others. β
Qin Gong nodded, thought for a moment, and then asked:
"It's better for the widow to send someone to the Qi army camp and ask the Qi soldiers to help the widow.
What Yongluan promised them, the widow can also agree, don't they just want the territory, the widow agrees to them is always better than Yongluan promised them. β
Gu Daoyuan was slightly taken aback when he heard this, but he immediately understood the monarch who was at a loss and was in a desperate situation and went to the doctor indiscriminately, so he shook his head again and said calmly:
"Monarch, the wolf ambition of the Qi people is much more than that of the Zhirong people, that Xiao Zishuo is ambitious, I am afraid that if I do this, I will inevitably lead the wolf into the house.
At that time, people will be swordsmen and I will be fish and meat, and the king is afraid that he will be at risk of humiliation. Besides, the army of the Qi State has never fought with the Rong people, and in my opinion, the 200,000 army is not as strong as the combat effectiveness of the 100,000 soldiers and horses of my Qin State.
Therefore, please don't mention this policy again. β
Seeing that Gu Daoyuan had twice wiped out a glimmer of hope for himself, Qin Gong nodded blankly and sat down, Gu Daoyuan and Zhang Ziyu glanced at each other, and smiled bitterly at each other.
It seems that the monarch has been completely frightened by today's coup d'Γ©tat, and he would rather fight the idea of Qi than entrust his life to the ministers, even if it is the obvious best way.
"Your Majesty."
At this time, in the silent Xuanwu Palace, an old voice trembled among the corpses all over the ground, and everyone looked at it and saw a silver-haired old man struggling to get up from the crowd.
"Lord Sima."
"It's Lord Sima, help Lord Sima up."
After a closer look, everyone found that the person who spoke was Jieyuan, and Gu Daoyuan and the others hurriedly shouted to help Jieyuan under great joy.
It turned out that Jie Yuan was not killed by the Iron Eagle Swordsman in the battle of Fang Cai, but fainted under the anger of the attack, and it was precisely because of this that he escaped by luck.
As soon as he came to his senses, he heard the conversation between the monarch and Gu Daoyuan, and in a hurry, he hurriedly mustered up the strength to eat.
Seeing that Jie Yuan was fine, everyone hurriedly and carefully helped him to stand up, and Jie Yuan also hurriedly said to Qin Gong, who got up and looked at him with a caring face:
"Your Majesty, for today's plan, the only way to go to Wenshui City to seek refuge in the Middle Kingdom is optional, and the other options are all the disaster of losing the country.
Lao Chen understands that the monarch is afraid that the middle and greater people will be like the right more, and he is unwilling to take risks, but the middle and bigger people are in the hands of the Rong people, how can it be comparable to the right more.
Moreover, if it weren't for the fact that the middle and greater people were on the front line and their hearts were at the center, how could we still have the opportunity to discuss countermeasures here.
If the middle and greater people want to have a disobedient heart, he may be more capable of controlling Xijing than the right greater, instead of Zen trying his best to echo with Lord Zaizuka inside and outside to share the worries of the monarch.
Don't make a mistake and chill the hearts of the greater. β
After Jieyuan finished speaking with a crying voice, the people living in the hall looked at each other one after another. Many people peeked at Duke Qin, and sure enough, they saw that the monarch's face suddenly alternated red and white, looking extremely embarrassed.
It seems that the advice is indeed against the ear, and the medicine is indeed bitter.
Although everyone wanted to say what Jie Yuan said, everyone didn't dare to say it, and only Jie Yuan dared to break the subtle tacit understanding here and admonish the monarch without hesitation.
Although everyone gave a thumbs up to Jieyuan in their hearts, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, even though this Jieyuan is a genius, it is not without reason that he has not entered the center until he is at such an age.
After a while, in the anxious waiting of everyone, the monarch seemed to have figured out and made a decision, and he said to Jie Yuan with a wry smile: "What Lao Sima said is very true, and the only way to do this is to go to Wenshui City immediately to meet with the people of Zhongda.
It's just that today Deng rebelled against him, but the widow lost too many loyal ministers. The widow really can't stand them, and as soon as the widow leaves, these loyal ministers are not cold, but how can it be good. β
Speaking of this, Qin Gong suddenly choked up and couldn't speak anymore, just raised his hand and wiped the tears on his face with his sleeve.
Gu Daoyuan saw that Qin Gong's tears were not fake, and I am afraid that anyone sitting on that public seat today would be extremely sad.
It's just that he understands that this is no longer the time to think about these inconsequential things, and he hurriedly said to Qin Gong:
"Your Excellency, since your majesty has made a decision, Weichen implores your majesty to immediately go out of the palace to patrol Wenshui City."
As soon as Gu Daoyuan's words fell, he saw Qin Gong wiping his tears and nodded, and said to Gu Daoyuan: "Gu Qing's family knows the general situation, and it is enough for the widow to be assisted by this good minister, so the widow will leave with Aiqing." β
After saying that, in Gu Daoyuan's eyes, those officials and maids who were originally huddled in the corner got up one after another, waiting for Qin Gong to leave the Xuanwu Palace, and most of the half-hundred Iron Eagle swordsmen near the palace gate also left with Qin Gong.
At this time, Gu Daoyuan said solemnly to the remaining ten or so ministers in the hall who could stand:
"Gu Mou knows that all the children are in the city, and now Gu Mou has two ideas for you to hear, and you should decide for yourself how to choose. One of them immediately followed the monarch and quietly sneaked out of Xijing City and went to the middle of summer. Second, he went home to settle down and went out of Xijing again. It's just that I'm afraid that today's battle between the forbidden army and Deng Yi's command has attracted the attention of all parties, and once such a good opportunity is missed, it will definitely be dangerous to go out of the city again.
Gu joined hands with everyone today to eliminate adversity, and he was honored to live three lives. Therefore, Gu Mou didn't want to see everyone regenerate.
Please also cherish it and reunite with me in the summer. β
After saying that, Gu Daoyuan, Zhang Ziyu and the others clasped their fists and saluted, and then the two of them watched as everyone quickly left the Xuanwu Hall with complicated emotions on their faces.
In fact, Gu Daoyuan, Zhang Ziyu and others had already sent their family out of the city with Qin Gongzi's heir and wife last night, so the two of them did not have any worries at this time.
Gu Daoyuan ordered someone to take Jie Yuan and some injured ministers who were not dead out of the palace quickly, and sneaked out of Xijing City behind Duke Qin.
After the ministers left, the two executed all the ministers of Deng Yong and the two parties who were kneeling on the ground, and then left safely.
For those nobles who the Iron Eagle swordsman did not dare to kill, there were not so many scruples in the eyes of the two of them.
These traitors and rebels are like bed bugs, rather than letting them go back to the mountains, it is better to cut down the grass and eradicate the troubles.
Anyway, now the dead in the temple are fleeing, and who knows how these people died.
