11. The Change of Luoyang (2)
When Li Siyuan, the prisoner, heard that his son Li Congrong had been killed, he was shocked and frightened, and the old disease of cerebral hemorrhage, which had not yet been well received, recurred, and he was paralyzed in bed.
After Meng Hanqiong and Zhu Hongshi led the army into the palace, they followed Zhu Hongzhao and Feng Yun into the palace to report, and heard that Li Congrong still had a young son, who was kept by Li Siyuan's side in the palace, so he asked to be killed together.
Li Siyuan wept when he heard this: "What is my grandson's crime? ”
Meng Hanqiong replied: "Congrong is rebellious and rebellious, and he should be punished by the clan, and I hope that the prison country will not break the national law with personal feelings, and please hand over the canon from Rongzi Yiming." ”
Li Siyuan still refused to agree, so he listened to the noise of the internal supervisors under Meng Hanqiong and the army generals led by Zhu Hongshi outside the palace, which was already unstoppable, but he was afraid that it would be a sudden chaos. Li Siyuan stopped talking, so Meng Hanqiong led people into the apse, took Li Congrong's three-year-old young son out, and when he arrived outside the Zhongxing Palace, he was immediately killed.
Forced by the situation, Li Siyuan announced Li Congrong's crime again, and abolished him as a concubine, and many people had their own rewards, and the generals led their troops to leave the palace.
Feng Yun, Zhu Hongzhao, and Meng Hanqiong broke up outside the Donghua Gate, and Meng Hanqiong said: "Today's matter, I'm afraid that if the prison country gets better, it will be investigated." ”
Feng Yun sneered and said to Zhu Hongzhao: "The plan now is to quickly invite the northern army into the city, and when the time comes, you will have to restrain the forbidden army to open the city gate, and don't really fight." When the Northern Army came, they couldn't protect themselves, and they also pursued a bird, but we got a big credit first. ”
Zhu Hongzhao said to Meng Hanqiong: "You are in the palace, you have to protect the two brothers of the fake emperor, they are the brothers of the Son of Heaven, although they are rebellious, they are also forced to be helpless, and they can't help themselves." If something happens, we can't explain it to the one in Jinyang. ”
Meng Hanqiong said: "At this time, I'm afraid that Li Chongji has already sent someone to inform Li Congke, and I have to send someone to urge him again, so that the northern army must come in front of Li Congke." ”
After these guys killed Li Congrong's family, they were discussing how to join the Northern Army.
……
He Fujin, the envoy of Heyang Jiedu, received an urgent report from Feng Yun and Zhu Hongzhao, and immediately ordered the infantry to cross the Yellow River from Heyang to the south, while he himself led 5,000 cavalry to cross the river from Heqingbaibo and went straight to Luoyang from Mengjin. In addition, they sent people to inform Fu Yanqing of Weizhou and An Xianqi of Xiangzhou, informing them of the changes in Luoyang, and asking them to quickly lead the army to cross the river from the ferry at the mouth of the Qin River in Heyin.
Prime Minister Feng Dao led hundreds of officials into the palace to greet him, and Li Siyuan burst into tears after seeing Feng Dao, choking up and crying: "My family is unfortunate, such a tragic thing happened, it's really shameless to see you again!" ”
Feng Dao and the others could only comfort each other with good words, and after they withdrew, everyone came to the court, and couldn't help complaining that Zhu Hongzhao and others were too ruthless.
Zhu Hongzhao said: "Fake benevolence and false righteousness, if we don't make a move, do we have to wait for Li Congrong to come and kill me?" You think you're going to have a better time?! ”
Kang Cheng said: "Don't talk about this first, Jian Guo doesn't see it very good, how to deal with this after this?" ”
Feng Yun said: "What else can I do? This prince has been the emperor in Jinyang for many years, so he naturally welcomes the return of the Son of Heaven. ”
Feng Dao said: "It's not good, you have to wait for the prison to be behind before you can do this." ”
Zhu Hongzhao said: "What's wrong, do you still have to wait for the Northern Army to come to the door?" I'm afraid you won't have any good fruit to eat at that time, so don't be put in prison. ”
When these ministers heard Zhu Hongzhao say this, they also felt that it was very reasonable, and simply discussed the specific matters of welcoming the Northern Army into Luoyang in the court. This Li Siyuan is seriously ill, but no one cares about it anymore.
……
The 5,000 Heyang cavalry led by He Fujin crossed the Yellow River in the evening, and the southern army defending Baibodu received Zhu Hongzhao's Privy Council edict, not only did not resist, but actively cooperated with the northern army to cross the river. Before the cavalry had completely crossed the river, Zhu Hongshi was also ordered to lead a thousand cavalry of the Luoyang Forbidden Army to the Mengjin Ferry, meet with He Fujin, and prepare to lead the way for the northern army.
In the early morning, Zhu Hongshi accompanied He Fujin to lead the army to Luoyang outside the north gate, at this time the city gate was wide open, Zhu Hongzhao had personally rushed to the city gate to sit in the town, and the northern army was directly introduced into Luoyang City.
After He Fu entered the city, he ordered his subordinate general Wang Chen to lead people to control the north gate, and he himself led 3,000 cavalry troops to the imperial city.
When the army arrived at Tianjin Bridge, Meng Hanqiong had already led people to open the end gate, and thousands of elite cavalry of the Northern Army entered the imperial city, and immediately controlled the entire palace.
When Li Chongji heard the news of the northern army's entry into the city, he immediately summoned his subordinate army to rush to the imperial city, but saw that He Fujin led the army immediately on the Tianjin Bridge, and asked coldly: "Now that the Tang army has entered the city, what do you want to do with the commander of the crane army?" He and Li Chongji were both under Zhuang Zong's command of the guards, so they had known each other for a long time.
Li Chongji saw that the Northern Army was strong and strong, and the 500 Crane Control Army under his command was not an opponent at all, and he also saw the opportunity quickly, so he also hugged his fists and said: "It turned out to be General He, and when he heard that Wang Shi had entered Beijing, he led his troops to help maintain order in the city, and there was no hostility." ”
After hearing this, He Fujin said: "It's okay, General Li led his troops anyway, and when he arrives in front of the Son of Heaven, he will have his own merits." The order in the city is responsible for the Heyang army, and the general leads his troops to guard the eastern city first. ”
Li Chongji wanted to enter the palace and inquire about the situation clearly, and when he saw He Fujin say this, he had to lead his troops to the east gate and take over the city defense first.
At this time, Feng Dao and a group of Luoyang courtiers had already gathered in Xingsheng Palace to discuss the matter of welcoming the Son of Heaven back to the court, and the brothers Li Jisong and Li Jiliang, who were imprisoned in the inner palace, were also invited into the court to discuss together. Li Jiliang was still wearing the emperor's clothes, Feng Dao saw this, and quickly asked Meng Hanqiong to take him back to the harem, and found a royal dress worn by Li Jisong to change into.
Li Jisong knew He Fujin, and when he saw He Fujin enter the court, he first asked, "General He, where is my imperial brother?" ”
He Fujin said: "The Son of Heaven is now in Yecheng, and he has already ordered someone to report the matter of Luoyang to the sage as soon as possible." What you need to do now is to stay in your place and maintain stability. The army has crossed the river from Mengzhou and will reach Luodu in a few days. ”
Then He Fujin, under the guidance of Feng Dao and Meng Hanqiong, went to Zhongxing Hall to meet Li Siyuan. In fact, he didn't know how to deal with Li Siyuan, so he could only control it first and listen to the will of the Son of Heaven. These people came to the vicinity of the Zhongxing Palace, but they heard bursts of crying from the hall.
It turned out that Li Siyuan, who was seriously ill, heard that the Northern Army had entered the imperial city, and under the palpitations, he swallowed his breath after struggling a few times. He is also a generation of heroes, and before he died, he actually saw his own grandson being forcibly taken away and executed in front of him, and he was also very unwilling to die.
Li Congke, who was far away in Nanyang, immediately led 3,000 cavalry troops to set off after receiving Li Chongji's urgent report, but when he reached Lushan, he heard that the northern army had crossed the Yellow River and entered Luoyang.
After getting the news, Li Congke sighed, and then returned to Nanyang to watch the changes.
