The first chapter of the night of 1057
Xie Shenfu obviously no longer has the same generous treatment as his son Xie Qubo and Chen Fuliang, in the hot summer, the damp and foul-smelling prison of Dali Temple, and the soybean-sized oil lamp, made Xie Shenfu frown, and then sighed helplessly in his heart.
He thought that he would have today's ending, and he was ready to face today's result, but after all, he couldn't witness Ye Qing being expelled with his own eyes, which still made him feel a little regretful.
From beginning to end, Xie Shenfu believed that the fact that he was arrested in prison tonight would one day become the glory of his career and his political capital in the court in the future.
He firmly believed that Ye Qing would be removed by the Emperor Taishang, and he also believed that as long as he endured these few days, he would be released, and it was even very likely that because of tonight's incident, he would make himself go one step above the court.
The uneven ground under his feet was pitch black under the light of a soybean-sized oil lamp, and he made a gurgling sound when he stepped on it, and the foul smell of sewage and the damp and moldy smell in the prison made him cough a few times, and his eyes were smoked out of tears because of the pungent and unbearable smell in the prison.
Not far from the Fengbo Pavilion, two carriages parked side by side, Li Lifang looked around at the heavily guarded Dali Temple under the firelight, looked up at the night sky and breathed a sigh: "Dali Temple is impregnable under the guard of the soldiers led by Ye Qing, and no one should dare to come here to rob the prison." Miss Ye'er, ...... next What are you going to do? ”
Zhu Ye'er saluted Li Lifang: "Thank you, Lord Li, for your help today." The slave maid ...... next The next thing is to go to the palace and take care of the funeral for Lord Ye. ”
The bamboo leaves with their eyes lowered looked a little more weak and sad at the moment, and a temperament that seemed to Li Lifang to have a soul thought.
The bamboo leaves in front of him tonight made Li Lifang feel that this shadow who has followed the queen for many years actually has the seven emotions and six desires that ordinary people should have, not like a puppet on weekdays, no sorrow, no joy and no emotion.
Li Lifang sighed again, and after yawning, he still asked in disbelief: "So...... Ye Qing is really fierce and unlucky tonight, can't he really cross this hurdle? ”
"The slave and maid don't dare to discuss it, the slave and maid just obey the queen's decree, first ask Shangshu to arrest Xie Shenfu, and then go back to the palace to take care of Lord Ye's funeral." Zhu Ye'er was still respectful, hanging her head slightly, making her long eyelashes more exciting under the light of the torch, and likewise, it also made people more curious about the bright eyes under the eyelashes, and now they were happy or sad.
"Since that's the case, then I won't delay Miss Ye'er to return to the palace. But....... Li Lifang, who was about to get into the carriage, stopped, turned his head to look at Zhu Ye'er, and after thinking for a while, he still said: "I'm waiting for news in the house, no matter what the result is, I also ask Miss Ye'er to inform me as soon as possible." ”
"Yes, Lord Shangshu, once the slave maid has the result, I will tell you as soon as possible." Zhu Ye'er looked at the back of Li Lifang who got into the carriage and said.
The carriage slowly drove out of the main gate of Dali Temple, and Qingqiu, which was handed over to the soldiers of the flower planter stationed in Dali Temple, also happened to run over with Zuo Jiao, looking at Li Lifang's vanishing carriage, the three of them glanced at each other, Zhu Yeer looked at Qingqiu and nodded, indicating that he had done a good job with Dali Temple, and nodded silently, and then stepped into the carriage, and began to drive towards the palace with the soldiers of the front division of the palace.
On the streets and alleys under the night of Lin'an City, there is no bustle on weekdays, as well as the people wandering on the streets, the dim streets seem extraordinarily deserted, with the patrol of the forbidden army passing by from time to time, it can still make people feel that at this moment, the sky above the entire Lin'an City, shrouded in a strong weird meaning.
The sound of horses' hooves and the clatter of carriages echoed through the cold streets, and then only a moment later.
The soldiers of the front division of the palace stopped Zhu Ye'er and the others who were about to arrive at the Donghua Gate, and at this time, the time was already the beginning of the eighth day of the seventh month of the fifth year of Shaoxi.
"Fighting in the palace?" Zhu Ye'er's heart was shocked, but deep in her heart she felt even more pain.
Even needless to say, she could vaguely guess that Ye Qing would never be caught with her hands tied, and at this time, there were already troops in the palace, so it would be ...... Ye Qing has already embarked on the road of rebellion, and he will be killed in the palace, I am afraid it will be sooner or later.
"Let's go back to the palace." Zhu Ye'er's head drooped more and more, and his eyes, which were originally just a little sad, turned red at the moment, and as he lowered his head again, two lines of tears slowly flowed down his cheeks.
There were soldiers in the palace, which meant that the emperor had made a move, and Ye Qing resisted
, which means that Ye Qing is more auspicious and less auspicious.
Zhu Ye'er really wanted to see Ye Qing for the last time, and she also hoped that when she arrived at the palace, she would be able to see Ye Qing lying in a pool of blood, and then she would hug Ye Qing and cry and tell her heart, at least ...... Zhu Ye'er believes that at that moment, she will be the happiest woman in the world, because Ye Qing saw her last time, because Ye Qing died in her arms, and she is like Ye Qing's final destination, and others, even if they are queens, are just passers-by of Ye Qing's vitality.
The sound of fighting in the palace, as if he was already sad in the carriage, but he was looking forward to the scene he was looking forward to, would appear in the ears of the bamboo leaves in front of him, and similarly, at this moment, it was also really ringing in the ears of Emperor Zhao Yan.
Since the Emperor Taishang came to the throne, he was determined to regain the lost territory in the Northern Expedition, but in the end none of them succeeded, and even every battle ended in defeat.
He had never seen the scene of soldiers fighting in his life, let alone the scene of the Song people galloping across the battlefield and killing the Jin people.
In the first few years after he first succeeded to the throne, for countless nights, he had dreamed of the scene of the Song army's defeat of the Jin people, and even boldly imagined that one day he could take advantage of the Song army's victory to recover the lost territory and witness the mighty and bloody momentum of the Song soldiers.
But none of these appeared in front of his eyes, on the contrary, when he was the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, the internal strife of the ministers in the court often appeared in front of his eyes, all kinds of deceit, scheming and tricks emerged in an endless stream, all of which were used by the courtiers to attack and impeach their colleagues, instead of treating the Jin people, then everything was like a war in another scene, although there was no sound of fighting, although there was no scene of rivers of blood, but it was also frightening and cruel step by step.
And tonight, he really saw the scene of the fight, but it was not a fight between the Song people and the Jin people, but a fight between the courtiers.
He saw that the soldier's arm with the weapon had been cut off, and then he looked at the half-cut arm with the severed arm in disbelief, and before he could let out a scream, the whole person suddenly stiffened, and a bloody spear appeared in his chest.
The spear was drawn from behind, and the soldier's body, which had been cut off, slowly fell with a dull gaze, and then was overwhelmed by the rest of the fighting crowd.
At the beginning of the eighth day of July in the fifth year of Shaoxi, the fighting in the palace had just been going on for less than half an hour, but it had already changed from a completely chaotic melee to a clear battle.
Emperor Zhao Yan closed his lips tightly, and watched the battle below with Ye Qing next to him, although he was very nervous, and even the whole person was trembling because of the bloody battle scene, which made his scalp numb and trembling, but Zhao Yan still had a lot of questions in his mind.
In the same way, when his gaze swept over the palace and wandered farther into the night, the silent night, like a silent and cold black hole, seemed to swallow him at any moment, and ...... The most important thing is that there is no fire that he Zhao Yan hopes for at the moment.
The Zhaoqing Army and the Sui'an Army did not appear outside Lin'an City as scheduled, and the Jiahui Gate City Tower had been drowned out by the sound of fighting at this moment, and the guards of the original Guard Division had lost control of Jiahui Gate under the wave of offensive of the so-called forbidden army.
"Emperor Tai, the rebels are faintly about to retreat, and taking down the leader of the rebel party, Han Yanxuan, will never exceed Zi Shizheng." Ye Qing looked at the bottom of the Dianjiangtai, the bright torches that had originally gathered towards the Dianjiangtai were shocked by the flower planters led by Jia Shi on the other side, and they had to give up the road to the Dianjiangtai and began to retreat.
"What's next?" At this moment, Zhao Yan had no idea, especially when looking at the cruel and bloody scenes, it was not so much that Zhao Yan was sitting on the chair, but that he was already paralyzed on the chair in fright.
Everything happened that caught Zhao Yan off guard, and before he even made a choice, a tragic battle began under the Dianjiang platform, and as Han Yanxuan's people could not rush to the Dianjiang platform for a long time, the Emperor Zhao Yan had to obey Ye Qing's arrangement.
After all, when the battle under the general stage just started, the eunuch who was originally guarding in front of the Emperor Zhao Yan just shouted to arrest the thief Ye Qing, but Ye Qing took out the Yanling knife on the waist of the former general of the palace behind him with lightning speed, and cut off his head with a knife.
The general who was taken away by Ye Qing had not yet recovered from the sudden situation, and the knife on his waist was in Ye Qing's hand, and in front of the frightened Emperor Zhao Yan, he slashed at his neck, so the soldiers in front of the palace who had just reacted
, can only watch as the head of his general falls from the sky, and then rolls down the stone path.
Emperor Zhao Yan was already speechless with fright for everything that suddenly came in front of him, and the soldiers in front of the palace, who had lost his general, were just about to draw out their waist knives to surround Ye Qing, when he heard Ye Qing, who was stained with blood on his cheeks because he had killed two people in a row, scolded in a deep voice: "Presumptuous! Do you want to follow Han Yanxuan to rebel? ”
The murderous scolding, as well as Ye Qing's tall figure, coupled with the warm blood stains on his cheeks, and the bloody Yanling knife in his hand, actually suppressed the soldiers in front of the palace in front of him.
The soldiers in front of the palace were silent one by one, holding the handle of the knife that was half pulled out from their waists, looking at Ye Qing, who was decisive after killing two people in a row in an instant, and looked at the emperor Zhao Yan who was sitting on the chair with a pale face, and was stunned for a while, not knowing what to do.
If Zhao Yan could still speak at this time, perhaps Ye Qing would have been cut into pulp by the dozens of soldiers in front of the palace.
But what ...... Ye Qing suddenly struck a thunderous blow and killed the eunuchs and the generals in front of him in a row, so that the Emperor Taishang was instantly frightened, not to mention immediately reacting and ordering the soldiers who were eyeing Ye Qing, he was able to sit firmly on the chair all the time, instead of sliding from the chair to the ground in fear because of the sudden change in front of him, which was already extremely rare.
After a short stalemate at the Dianjiangtai, dozens of soldiers had to withdraw their waist knives from their scabbards under Ye Qing's deep order, and then stood silently at the stone path one by one, beware of the rebels rushing to the Dianjiangtai to be disrespectful to the Emperor Taishang and Lord Ye.
A faint smell of blood wafted over the Dianjiang platform, and the corpses of the eunuchs and the generals in front of the palace had been moved away by Ye Qing's soldiers, but even so, the emperor who had been appointed after coming to his senses still felt that the tip of his nose had a strong smell of blood that made him nauseous and wanted to vomit.
"Please rest assured that the rebellion of the Han Party will be quelled soon, and the minister will immediately escort you back to Shoukang Palace." Ye Qing wiped the blood on his face, and said respectfully to the Emperor with a mouthful of white teeth.
Ye Qing's smile was particularly eerie and terrifying in Zhao Yan's eyes, and it was still echoing in his mind, just now the scene of Ye Qing killing two people in a row in front of him, he really didn't expect that Ye Qing would dare to kill his eunuchs and his generals in front of him.
When the general's head began to roll down from the stone path, Zhao Yan even felt that Ye Qing, who turned around, would swing the next knife at him, and then the cold sweat completely soaked his entire back, and at this moment it was extremely uncomfortable and tormenting.
"Shou...... Is Shoukang Palace still safe? In Zhao Yan's mind, there was already chaos at the moment, and in addition to being frightened, even he himself was a little unclear about who was loyal and who was traitorous between Ye Qing and Han Yanxuan.
At this moment, all his reactions were just subconscious reactions, subconscious strains reflexed by Ye Qing's decisive momentum, and the absolute obedience and compliance of the weak to the strong.
"Please rest assured that the Emperor Taishang will lead his troops to personally guard the surroundings of Shoukang Palace." Ye Qing was still holding the bloodstained Yanling knife in his hand, and said to Zhao Yan respectfully: "However, the minister thinks that after a while, I will ask the Emperor Taishang to immediately issue an order to the hundred officials in Lin'an City, summoning them to enter the palace immediately to discuss how to deal with the traitor Han Yanxuan." ”
"This thing...... Ye Qing looked at this matter. Rebel ...... The traitors must not be left behind, and all of them must be eliminated to ensure the safety of the palace and not leave future troubles. Zhao Yan grabbed the armrests of the chair tightly with both hands, and what could give him the most sense of security at this moment was not Ye Qing who was holding the Yanling knife in front of him, but the chair sitting under his buttocks.
Ye Qing even believed that if anyone wanted to let the Emperor Taishang leave that chair at this time, he was afraid that the Emperor Taishang would immediately let out a terrible howl, and even ...... will also completely scare the Emperor Taishang crazy because of this.
"Yes, the minister will definitely not leave trouble." Ye Qing saluted respectfully again, and under the platform, there was already a noisy footstep at this moment.
Jia She's voice sounded in the stone path below, and Zhao Yan, who was sitting on the chair, suddenly trembled, his face that was pale because of fear, and his somewhat dull and dazed eyes instantly turned to Ye Qing for protection.
"Immediately surround Yujin Garden, and no one is allowed to enter or leave." Ye Qing first softly comforted Zhao Yan, who was frightened by Jia She's murderous voice, and then turned around and said to Jia She, who did not let him go to the stage.
As the soldiers of the original palace division at the Dianjiangtai were escorted down by the soldiers of the Flower Planter Army brought by Jia She, the soldiers who walked on the Dianjiang Platform at this moment have been replaced by the soldiers of the Flower Planter Army, and the soldiers covered with blood all over their bodies stood not far behind Ye Qing one by one, guarding Ye Qing who was half-squatting in front of Emperor Zhao Yan.
