Chapter 967: The Fierce Battle Fails
Chang'an City finally woke up from a nightmare.
When the glazed tiles on the roof of the Weiyang Palace complex were reflected in the same glow, many people fell into despair. And some people cheered.
Since taking control of the Suzaku Gate, the clan forces have gained the absolute initiative. After overnight deployment, by dawn, most of the palace had fallen into their hands.
Although such an ending had long been expected, when the victory really came in front of them, the nobles of the clan led by Liu Zezhi, the Marquis of Yingchuan, were still ecstatic and couldn't help but celebrate each other.
The emperor's escape from Chang'an City did not feel like an unexpected thing for them. And deep down in their hearts, they think that this is a good thing.
After all, everyone knew that their actions were a serious rebellion for any reason. If it succeeds, everything is easy to say. And if it fails, then there is no way to recover, and there is no room for recovery. And if the emperor really died at their hands, it would be a great crime of "killing the king". No one wants to let their hands be stained with the blood of the emperor and leave a thousand years of infamy.
From this aspect, the emperor left the palace, but sent himself to a dead end. Since it is outside Chang'an City, there are too many chances for this Son of Heaven to die due to various "accidents". It was precisely because of these considerations that Liu Zezhi, the Marquis of Yingchuan, secretly issued a killing order when he ordered Liu Zuoche to personally lead people to pursue!
The emperor, who is not too powerful and extraordinary, cannot return to Chang'an alive. This is the consensus of each and every one of them. And it is precisely because of this certainty that when they strode through the side of the Hanyuan Hall and passed by this supreme palace of power, they looked up at this magnificent and majestic symbol of imperial power, and the emotion in their hearts can be imagined.
However, the mood is different from before. Because, it is very likely that from now on, their group of people who also have the blood of Emperor Gaozu in their bodies will become the power masters of this palace and even the entire world.
Without the emperor, Weiyang Palace seems to have lost its soul, and in the face of the absolute dominance of the clan forces, it has become lacking in the will to resist. It didn't take much too much to fight or fight, and they easily controlled most of the place, including the Hanyuan Palace.
However, Liu Zezhi, the Marquis of Yingchuan, and the nobles of the clan tried to enter the Hanyuan Hall without success. In front of the main hall, on the long steps, dozens of court ministers stood there silently, their faces covered with frost and their eyes like knives, they would defend the last dignity of this palace with surging blood and their own bodies.
"Those who know the times are Junjie...... This is a royal internal affair! It has nothing to do with you. If you want to continue to enjoy your glory and family glory, stand by and take a break! Otherwise, a catastrophe is coming, don't be unpredictable! ”
Liu Zezhi, Marquis of Yingchuan, waved his hand to stop the eagerness of the people around him. These important ministers in the court, he still has a great use, and he can't just kill them casually.
However, his few words of persuasion with a blade were only silent. Led by Shang Shu Ling Dongfang Shuo and Imperial Historian Sima Xiangru, these ministers who had made their own contributions to the prosperity of the Han Dynasty calmly faced the murderous aura coming to their faces
Teng Teng, not a single face showed fear and flinching.
Behind them, this majestic palace is the center of power in the whole world. Over the past hundred years, countless decisions that have affected the people of the world have been decided here. Magnificent watch, brilliant and solemn. In a sense, it is the symbol of this great empire, and it is also the spirit of China, which cannot tolerate the slightest desecration and defilement. If each of them is left with one last option, it is to defend it with their own lives.
The autumn breeze rises suddenly, hidden in the glow, the layers of high steps and white jade railings, have experienced many vicissitudes of wind and rain and swords like a dream. On the ladder to power in the world, the condensation of blood and life has never been avoided. And when the real test comes, where do you go from here? Everyone needs to make the right choice.
"How...... Are you dumb? Dongfang Shuo, haven't you always been able to speak well? Isn't there anything you want to say? ”
Yingchuan Hou, who is about to reap all the fruits of victory, has a lot of patience at this time. He really likes the feeling of winning the game. It's up to me to live or die, whatever I want. These important ministers of the court on weekdays are like lambs to the slaughter in his eyes, and they have lost their bargaining power.
Dongfang Shuo wore a sword on his body, and Sima Xiangru also had a horizontal sword on his chest. Although they can also dance with swords, in the face of such a large-scale rebellion, with their pitiful force value, it is obviously useless to fight. Not to mention the other court ministers. Originally, they were just ministers of the society in the world, and let them rise up to kill the Quartet, but they were reluctant to make it difficult.
It's just that although they don't have the ability to punish the murderer, since they rushed to the palace regardless of the danger, they have already put life and death aside from honor and disgrace. Looking at the rebels who surrounded them, although the expressions on everyone's faces were different, without exception, there was not the slightest fear. If necessary, they will fight to the end with the sword in their hands, whether it is to drink the blood of their enemies or their own!
"As a clan member of the Han family, for your own selfish desires, you have done such an act today, chaotic ministers and thieves, scourge the common people, and everyone will be punished, what can you say! Don't be complacent too early, for evil has been invincible since ancient times. Wait until he is ruined and will be stinking for thousands of years...... Under the Yellow Spring, see what kind of face you have to go to see the first emperor! ”
Dongfang Shuo stood in front of the golden white jade railing, pointing at the unrecognizable clan nobles with his hand, his voice tinged with desolation and firmness. Now, the society is in danger, and there is no need to hide the hatred of these people in my heart. Since ancient times, it has been difficult to die only! If you are not even afraid of death, then what else is there?
Hearing him say this, many clan nobles who had already been murderous couldn't help but be furious. The thief is most afraid of being called a thief. Originally, they had ghosts in their hearts, but now they are told in public in broad daylight, and they feel like a stab in the back. It was as if the spirits of the ancestors were looking at them angrily, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Marquis Yingchuan, why talk nonsense with these people! They had the courage to enter Weiyang Palace at this time, and they had already expressed their attitude...... Just don't do it twice, take this opportunity to kill them all, and avoid future troubles! ”
Someone behind him made a vicious proposal. Those who go along prosper, and those who go against it die! Since you are disobedient, it doesn't matter what kind of minister you are,
Pillars of talent, then go to death!
Liu Zezhi, the Marquis of Yingchuan, glared back at the proposer in dissatisfaction. Although the clan forces are all prominent and noble, most of them are mediocre people, and it is not easy to rely on them to achieve great things. This made him very helpless.
"Although these guys have a bad attitude, they are all high-profile people and occupy a very large voice in the court. If we kill them casually, who will take care of the world for us in the future? Can you do it? Hum! ”
The surrounding clan nobles stared at each other and shook their heads together. The reason why they took the risk of launching a rebellion was to enjoy prosperity and prosperity, not to bother and work hard to deal with the affairs of the world.
"That'...... What does it mean? ”
"Don't hurt their lives. First send people to arrest them and keep them under close guard. When the big picture is decided, they will change their attitude. When the time comes, there is a way for them to obediently serve us! ”
"Da Zongzheng, what if they are obsessed and insist on refusing to comply?"
"Don't worry about that. Even if they have backbone, they are not afraid of death. Don't they all have families and relatives? If you don't obey the order at that time, you will be beheaded all over the house, and you will be connected to the nine clans...... I'd like to see who has the guts! ”
"Dazong Zhenggao! It's really high! Hahaha......! ”
"Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy...... Yingchuan Hou is amazing! Admire, admire! ”
Amid the compliments of understanding, the rebel organizer and planner was secretly smug in his heart. He twisted his beard and laughed. Its far-sighted command is determined, who cares!
Soon, a large number of clan forces who had received orders rushed forward and surrounded these dozens of court ministers. The Marquis of Yingchuan led the nobles of the clan to turn around. Since they are going to defend this palace here, let them guard it here. There are more important things to do, but there is no time to delay here.
Dongfang Shuo and Sima Xiangru, who were besieged by heavy troops, glanced at each other, and each other's hearts were bitter. The talent articles on weekdays, the strategy of the world, are not of any use in the here and now. Surrounded by swords and soldiers, they could only watch the nobles of the clan go in the direction of the harem, but they couldn't do anything.
For those of them, in many cases, it is very easy to die in the community. However, it is very difficult to keep a useful body and continue to live. The difficulty lies in enduring humiliation and burden, and the difficulty is in the changing ...... people's hearts!
"I hope that Jianzhang Palace can be preserved, and the Queen Mother and Queen Mother are safe and ......!"
The people who guarded the Hanyuan Hall with a tragic mood all rose up with the same expectations. Although even they feel that this hope is very slim, they always hope for a miracle.
There is no shortage of miracles happening in the world. The clan nobles who entered Weiyang Palace with heavy troops absolutely did not expect that their victory would stop at Jianzhang Palace. Moreover, with this as a turning point, it was a complete defeat and could never end again.
Because, at the gate of Jianzhang Palace, which was sprinkled with golden sunlight, the white-clothed figure was holding a Xuandao in his hand and was waiting calmly. The fallen leaves are scattered, and the starry eyes are like electricity. For a promise, he will fight until the last moment.
August osmanthus fragrance, on the shoulders of heroes. Ten years of affection, the sword is dyed yellow!
