13. True loyal ministers enter the city

Zhu Jun's sons-in-law and subordinates did not dare to say that they were martyred, nor did they dare to say that they were not martyred, so they could only cry and chirp.

Gao Yue's mind turned, and he warmly said to this group of people, you can rest assured, the army of the two prime ministers Jia and Li will soon attack the forbidden area, and if the Taiwei is still alive at that time, he will definitely be rescued; If Taiwei is really martyred, Yue is willing to report the matter to His Majesty as it is, and ask for mourning and posthumous sealing.

After settling Zhu Zhu's family, Gao Yue and Wei Gao's troops quickly broke into and occupied the gates of the southern Guode city of Chang'an, and advanced in the direction of Tonghua Gate, and did not commit any offenses along the road.

At this time, Li Sheng's Shence camp army had also stormed the wall of the Forbidden Garden, where Shenmai Village was located, and the vanguard cavalry of the camp pulled their war horses across the cold water, and braved the arrows and stones of the Jingyuan rebels, climbed the river bank of several cliffs, and began to fight for the garden wall.

Before the war, Li Sheng had been appointed as the military envoy of the camp Li Yan, erected a whirlwind pillar belly cannon and a bed crossbow, and shot down the garden wall more than 200 feet across the river, but Yao Lingyan, Fang Tingzhi and others mobilized the rebels, and last night they rushed to repair it, and refilled the collapsed area with earthen walls and wooden fences, and countless rebels hid behind them, shooting arrows and spears to resist the impact of the Shence camp.

For a time, Wang Tong and Meng She's Shence cavalry offensive was blocked, with heavy casualties, followed by the Shence Xingying infantry soldiers and horses Shi Wanqing, seeing that the water was full of dense soldiers and horses, eager to perform, and many people were injured by arrows, and the screams shook the heavens and the earth, so they rode back to report to Li Sheng, "Xianggong can suspend the offensive." ”

Li Sheng was furious, drew his sword out of the sheath, "Give the princes half an hour, and meet in Beiyuan at the moment, if the princes indulge the rebels, Sheng will first behead Wang Li, Meng She, and then behead Er, etc!" ”

Frightened, Shi Wanqing turned around and pounced on the battle line again, urging the infantry soldiers to go forward and follow, and finally pushed aside the antlers and wooden fences that were filled with the wall of Shenmai Village, Wang Tong and Meng Shi also desperately moved forward, and each blood-stained battle robe finally broke into the North Garden.

The rebels retreated from the Forbidden Garden like a tidal wave, trying to defend the Guangtai Gate.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves was like thunder - Li Sheng was wearing a brocade coat, embroidered hat, lined with light armor, riding a white horse, personally leading hundreds of light cavalry to cross the river to kill, coiling the bow and dragging the string, turning the bucket to chase the north, shouting, "Do the Jingyuan soldiers know me Li Liangqi?" ”

Li Sheng was originally born in the Jingyuan camp, and was famous in the battle with Xifan, but after offending the former Jingyuan Festival Marshal Ma Lu, he joined the Shence army.

At this time, when the Jingyuan soldiers saw Li Sheng and the cavalry killed, they were all frightened, scattered and frightened, and shouted "Li Xianggong is here!" "Fang Tingzhi was unable to organize a new defense line in Guangtai Gate at all, and was broken by the Shence Army in one go.

Fang Tingzhi, who was embarrassed, together with the defeated soldiers, retreated to Baihuamen in a mixed manner, and he was so angry that he asked everywhere, "Where is Wang Hong?" ”

The answer was that Wang Hong had already taken advantage of the war to hide in the crowd and disappeared.

Under the Baihua Gate, the city wall was already full of Guo Foran's men and horses, they closed the city gate and dropped the heavy gate, not letting the Jingyuan rebels come in at all, Guo Forging stood on the city tower and shouted: "Jiao Bochen has killed Yao Lingyan, Yuan Xiu and other traitors, anyway, the imperial court, this Fang Tingzhi is Fan Yang general, why do you obey him?" You can kill Fang Tingzhi and surrender Li Xianggong! ”

"Don't be fooled...... Fang Tingzhi was terrified, because Guo Forging was right, he was Zhu Zhu's subordinate general, a person from Youzhou, and the Jingyuan camp was not a system.

The Jingyuan rebels who were congested together under the city woke up like a dream, and they rushed forward to cut Fang Tingzhi.

Fang Tingzhi's wrist was cut first, and he screamed and fell on the saddle in an attempt to escape, but the Jingyuan rebels surrounded him, and all kinds of sharp blades greeted him like a rainstorm, and finally Fang Tingzhi was hit by more than ten blade wounds, and the horse also fell to the ground, falling on the land under the city, and was chopped alive.

The Shence army rushed to Baihuamen, shouting that the traitors should kneel down quickly.

This group of rebels immediately fell to their knees, holding Fang Tingzhi's head in their hands, throwing down their weapons, and shouting that they did not dare to resist Li Xianggong.

As soon as the morning ended, Li Sheng led the troops from the Baihua Gate into the Daming Palace, and the pseudo-Jinwu and Beiya disciples inside and outside the palace did not dare to resist, and knelt under the white flag and crouched in front of Li Sheng's horse.

Li Sheng didn't dare to ride a horse, so he got off his mount, cried and faced the three major halls and Longshou Mountain, and said, "Chen Sheng has cleared the palace ban for His Majesty at this moment!" ”

The generals, wings, and even ordinary Shence soldiers on the side all wept and wept, and knelt on the ground with the envoys of the Dutong Jiedu.

The snow was even heavier, and under the Qianlong Hall (Baihua Palace), Guo Forging and others carried out the corpses of more than 100 people such as Zhu Zhu, Li Zhongchen, Qiao Lin, Peng Yan, Jiang Zhen, etc., of course, among them, there was also King Han's, his uniform had been stripped off, and he was only wearing a single coat, and he threw them together in the open space under the steps.

Li Sheng, who came to inspect, went around twice, and when he saw the corpses of King Han and the princes of the Ten Princes' Mansion, he was shocked, took off his brocade robe, and covered up the body of King Han with tears, and then ordered the tooth soldiers to grab Guo Forging and tie him up.

"What are you doing?" Guo Forging struggled to himself.

"How can you kill the imperial prince, and take this to Anguo Temple outside the Daming Palace to behead him." Li Sheng angrily issued a verdict against Guo Foran.

"King of Hechuan, King of Hechuan, don't kill me, hahahaha, don't kill me, there will be an envoy to save me soon, and the Holy Lord will not let me die." Guo Forging smiled playfully, and when he was dragged outside the Daming Palace by the tooth soldiers, he was still arguing, "King Han was killed by Li Zhongchen, not me." I am the loyal minister who pleases Li Zhongchen......"

The snow continued to fall, drowning in puddles of blood from the corpses.

In front of the Baihua Palace, Wang Hong, covered in snow, found Li Sheng, knelt in front of him, and said that he had disturbed the water leak of Zhu Zhu and Li Zhongchen, and misled the Jingyuan rebels, and had meritorious service to the country, hoping that Li Sheng could report to the Holy Lord and open up to him.

"It turned out to be Wang Jingyin." Li Sheng's mouth exhaled a ball of white gas, and told Wang Hong the news bitterly, "Your Majesty has an edict before ordering the ministers to attack the Beijing Division, saying that when the rebels fall into the city, the thieves and rebels on the five grades will not be pardoned - come and lead Wang Jingyin to the head of the Hanyuan Palace." ”

"Li Liangqi, you are a military man, you dare to kill the ministers of the imperial court, dare to ...... If you knew this, you might as well go back to you. ”

Under the side wall of Hanyuan Palace, the blade light flashed, Wang Hong's head was cut off from his neck, and he fell on the snow with a bang, and the blood stains were particularly eye-catching.

Later, Jiao Bochen led his subordinates from the imperial city to bring Yuan Xiu and Yao Lingyan's heads to vote, but they were also captured by Li Sheng's order and beheaded by His Royal Highness Hanyuan.

"Mei Chuan, Mei Chuan!" Before Jiao Bochen died, he was still shouting the name of his favorite camp prostitute.

Li Sheng then ordered Zhu Zhongliang to lead 3,000 tooth soldiers and camp in the halls of Daming Palace; He also ordered Shi Wanqing to lead three thousand gods to step into the imperial city and the palace city; The secretary of the order, Yu Gongyi, and the military general Luo Yuanguang led 2,000 soldiers to Beiyuan. He also asked Shen Ce to lead Shang Ke to lead 500 soldiers to Anguo Temple, and Shen Ce to lead Xing Junya to also lead 500 soldiers to Zhangjing Temple, and then really let Wang Tong and Meng Shi lead the iron cavalry, holding the list of imperial records sent by Li Shi before, and the whole city searched for people who took rebellion, and after getting it, they were sent to Anguo and Zhangjing Temple to be headed.

In the afternoon, Gao Yue, Wei Gao, and Huo Zhongtang led 700 soldiers, passed through Xingqing Palace, braved the snow to Anguo Temple, and met Li Sheng.
