The speed of the men and horses turning from south to west on the official road to the west was not fast. Of course, it doesn't have to be that fast. With Lu Tianci in hand, there is no need to worry. Besides, no matter how fast you go, you can't still get rid of the army that follows behind.

After leaving the city, Lu Zhongtian kept his promise and sent troops and horses to follow him ten miles away. But in fact, the distance of ten miles is only half an hour's distance for the elite cavalry guarding the Ma Military Division. Of course, for Lin Jue and others, even if they can only win the time interval for tea, it is definitely advantageous.

The reason why Lin Jue moved forward unhurriedly was also to delay time. The two guards of the Lin family had already hurried forward to inform the two boatloads of people and goods waiting for the first batch to leave the capital on the road ahead. That's the real group of women, children, old and weak. The pace of their movement is extremely slow. If it moves quickly, it will meet at the last wharf of the Bianhe River, a hundred miles away, according to the original plan. But that's definitely what Lin Jue doesn't want to see now. What Lin Jue hoped was that they would hurry up and continue walking, as far as they could, because they were followed by tens of thousands of cavalry armies. Once you arrive at the border under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Mansion a hundred miles away, the trump card in your hand will be handed over. It will be a battle of life and death. It is not yet known whether they will be able to reach Funiu Mountain safely.

Therefore, Lin Jue chose the strategy of delaying time, to ensure that the family in front of him was as far away as possible. At the same time, it also leaves enough time for the person who responds somewhere.

However, the scope of Kaifeng Prefecture is limited after all, and it will not take much time to pass through Qingxian County from west to east through Zhongmu and Wei County. And Lin Jue can't delay too much, a large number of injured people's injuries are getting worse, and he can't delay these people's lives. Therefore, after walking unhurriedly for a day, I arrived at the last town under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture the next morning, called Chicang Town.

……

Just when Lin Jue was heading towards Funiu Mountain under the surveillance of the army, the people of the capital ushered in a new day in a night of noise and fright. This is not just a myriad of new and ordinary days when the sun rises, but a new day that turns the world upside down. When the bell rang in the early morning, countless officials and people soon got a series of earth-shattering news, the emperor and the crown prince both died, the queen mother also died, and Guo Xu, the king of Huai, was about to ascend the throne as the emperor.

Da Zhou has changed to a new emperor!!

The news came suddenly, combined with the noise of last night, and the situation of shouting and killing. Many people's minds are full of doubts. The emperor was in his prime, and the king of Jin was newly promoted to the crown prince to supervise the country, why did such a thing suddenly happen? How could the emperor and the crown prince both die? How did the Queen Mother die? What the hell is going on? Shouting and killing all night, who is fighting each other with whom?

Even the ignorant will realize that things are not simple. What's more, those officials and scholars who are full of poetry and books, and whose wisdom is slightly opened, naturally have a rough idea. They realized that there must have been a struggle for usurpation of power that had caused such a dramatic change.

Above the court, Guo Xu was covered in vegetarian clothes, wearing linen and filial piety, and his eyes were red and swollen. I don't know that I thought he was sad about the death of Guo Chong and the Queen Mother, but in fact, he stayed awake all night, always paying attention to the news of Lin Jue, Guo Bing and others, so his eyes were red and swollen and full of bloodshots.

After dawn, Guo Xu scolded endlessly after learning the news that Lin Jue and others were let go. Lu Zhongtian ignored the overall situation because his son actually let Lin Jue and Guo Bing father and son go, which made Guo Xu extremely angry. Can a mere Lu Tianci's life be worth such a loss? Lu Zhongtian is too much. What if that dumb uncle dies? What's the use of saving him?

However, Guo Xu quickly calmed down. He understood that under the current circumstances, his grandfather Lu Zhongtian could not be offended, and he would never be able to cause him unhappiness. Now he needs to take charge of the overall situation and calm the turbulent situation for himself. With him in charge, the situation will be much easier to control. Although Lin Jue and Guo Bing's father and son were let go, it was difficult for them to become a climate. The most important thing at the moment is to ascend the throne as the emperor, clean up the hearts of the people, and sit firmly on the throne of the emperor. Everything else can be put down for a while and left for later.

So, when Lu Zhongtian returned to the palace to report this matter to him, Guo Xu was extremely understanding. When he said: "Yes, yes, my uncle's life must be saved." Guo Bing's father and son and Lin Jue can't escape, but if their uncle's life is gone, it will be a big deal. Even if I were there, I would have made such a decision. ”

Lu Zhongtian was very pleased, Guo Xu could say this, which shows his well-behavedness. If Guo Xu was furious, he would not indulge him. And he can also use this matter to knock Guo Xu well, so that he understands that even if he ascends the throne as emperor, many things have to be decided by nodding his head. But Guo Xu was so obedient, but Lu Zhongtian had no idea where to start.

In the early dynasty, the atmosphere was gloomy, and in the face of the ministers, Guo Xu seemed to be so sad that he couldn't speak. Everything is handled by Lu Zhongtian. Lu Zhongtian had already prepared all the rhetoric, so he opened his mouth to explain to the ministers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, something big has happened in the court, and you must have doubts in your hearts. Here's the thing, yesterday evening, the Liang King Guo Bing and his son joined forces with the three envoys Lin Jue to launch a usurpation and rebellion. Guo Bing's father and son took advantage of the emperor's trust to enter the palace for an audience, and suddenly launched at the dinner party and stabbed the emperor. The crown prince Guo Mian happened to be next to him at the time, and was killed by Guo Bing's father and son and Lin Jue. They forced the emperor to upload to Guo Bing, and the emperor was not threatened by it? resolutely rejected their rude requests, so Guo Bing's father and son and Na Lin Jue were mad and threatened the lives of the Queen Mother and Concubine Rong. killed the Queen Mother, Queen Rong, and Concubine Rong one after another. caused a tragedy in the palace, which is simply angry with people and gods, and it is inferior to beasts. ”

Guo Xu was embarrassed and angry, all of this was done by him, although he knew that Lu Zhongtian was only trying to arouse the disgust and anger of the officials towards Guo Bing and his son, and it was definitely not aimed at himself. But hearing the evaluation that the beast was inferior, Guo Xu was still restless and angry.

In the court, there was an uproar. All the officials were stunned and their faces were stunned.

"Guo Bing's father and son actually made such a beast act, it is simply intolerable. It's okay to usurp the throne and plot rebellion, but the queen mother is the biological mother of King Liang, and he is killing his mother. It's so damnable, it's crazy. ”

"yes, it's unimaginable. A person who is usually sanctimonious would do such a hurtful thing. Heaven and earth do not tolerate, heaven and earth do not tolerate. ”

“……”

The courtiers began to talk one after another, some gritted their teeth, some scolded loudly, some burst into tears, and some were stunned.

Some people felt that this matter was a little unreasonable, and they made different voices.

"This thing...... It's weird. How could King Liang and his son behave like this, it is impossible for Lord Lin to do this. You know, they all support King Jin as the crown prince, and King Jin won the crown prince, why do they want to usurp the throne of the emperor? Why? Not to mention that King Liang's father and son and Lord Lin are usually people with good reputations, and they act cautiously and steadily, so Lord Lin is a person who is extremely trusted and relied on by the emperor, what is the point of him participating in such a rebellious thing? It's really hard to understand. ”

When Lu Zhongtian heard such remarks, he couldn't let this suspicion spread, so he shouted coldly: "What did that adult say? At this moment, the facts are there, and there are still people who can't defend them? Who knows the face but doesn't know the heart, and the unpredictable human heart? This adult seems to have sympathy for Guo Bing's father and son and the traitor Lin Jue. The old man was about to search for their accomplices, but you jumped out on your own. Someone came, took this person, put him in prison, and when the matter was over, the old man personally interrogated him. ”

The guards in front of the palace stepped forward like a tiger and wolf, stripped the official of his official uniform and tied him down.

In this way, who dares to raise the voice of opposition, Lu Zhongtian killed the chicken and the monkey this time, shocked the scene, and made the voice of doubt and opposition disappear.

"Colleagues, if you still speak for the rebels and thieves at this time, you are more than innocent. Some people think this is incredible, and the old man also thinks it is incredible. The emperor treats King Liang's father and son so kindly, and Lin Jue is so sincere, but he still can't influence the wolf ambitions of these people. If it weren't for Zhao Yuankang who found out that something was wrong and immediately sent someone to inform King Jin, the old man and Yang Shumi, I don't know how things would have ended. The old man and the Jin King Yang Shumi immediately entered the palace after hearing the report, the father and son of the King of Liang and Lin Jue saw that the situation was not good and escaped from the interior, the emperor was already injured and unconscious, they thought that the emperor had died, so they killed the emperor at that time. When we arrived, we woke up the emperor, who was injured and angry. When he was dying, he made an edict of succession in front of the old man and the envoy of Yang Shu, officially passing the throne to the king of Jin. Both the old man and the Yang Privy Envoy witnessed this matter. Privy Envoy Yang, tell you, yes and no? ”

Lu Zhongtian turned his head to look at Yang Jun, and the eyes of all the courtiers were also on Yang Jun. Yang Jun secretly scolded in his heart, Lu Zhongtian lied but insisted on pulling himself to lie with him, refusing to let himself stay out of the matter. He didn't participate in the usurpation of the throne at all, and this old thing refused to let himself stand by anymore. But in the current situation, everyone is in the same boat, but there is nothing to say, so they can only follow Lu Zhongtian's words to lie.

"What Lu Xiang said is indeed the truth, and the old man can testify to it." Yang Jun nodded and said vaguely.

Lu Zhongtian nodded, turned his head to the ministers and continued: "After the incident, Guo Bing and his son and Lin Jue gathered tens of thousands of soldiers and horses with the intention of attacking the palace and seizing power by force. Yang Shumi had already expected that they would be beaten to the ground on Beiheng Street. After that, they fled in a hurry. The old man and Yang Shumi mobilized troops and horses to chase and kill all over the city, and wiped out most of the rebel soldiers, but they broke through and left at dawn. There is no way, things are rushed, they plan carefully, and leave a plan for the future. But it doesn't matter, we crush their rebellion, and they won't escape. After that, they will be shouted and beaten everywhere like rats crossing the street, and there will be no place for them in my big week. The whole thing is like this, the old man can only say God bless me Da Zhou, so that they did not succeed. The most admirable thing is that the emperor, who worked hard for the Great Zhou all his life, and refused to compromise with the traitor when he died, and the two admired and admired him. The emperor is worthy of being a saint of the ages, but unfortunately he is not young, which makes the old minister heartbroken and heartbroken. ”

When Lu Zhongtian said the last few words, he stretched out his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, looking extremely sad. The ministers were close to each other, some wept, and some wailed.
