Chapter 178: Moving the Rescuers

Meritorious service, Fang Zheng has never thought about it, throw away some unrealistic national righteousness, don't talk about loyalty to the country, the ultimate goal of meritorious service is to increase the official and promote the knighthood, for this, Fang Zheng is even more interested, he is now an earl, and he still has a five-grade idle position, and his family has a rich and rival industry waiting for him to inherit, he feels that he doesn't need to pursue anything in this life, marry a few wives steadily, with the halo of the emperor's son-in-law on his head, keep the family industry, and live a plain life for decades, Finally, he died on the woman's belly.

It can't be said that his idea is wrong, after all, not everyone has the ambition to swallow the world, Fang Zheng was just a college student from an ordinary family in his previous life, and he traveled to ancient times, and the days of having officials, lords and rich have already made him very satisfied, and the commoner idea of being rich and safe still occupies a dominant position in his heart.

The capital outside Fangfu has been occupied by the rebels, and now the emperor wants him to make meritorious service, and he knows that meritorious service must be a very dangerous thing at this time. For dangerous things, Fang Zheng has always been as far away as he is.

Fang Zheng looked at the emperor with horror on his face, and said with trembling lips: "Your Majesty...... Wechen is a little unwell, probably because he drank too much wine at night, I want to go back and lie down for a while, you can talk to the other ministers, Wechen retires......"

"Changping, come here, help my brother go back to the room to rest, brother, I'll tell you a story, what? Zhao Zilong, Changbanpo seven in and seven out to save Adou? No, no, no, that story is too nonsense, I'll tell you the story of Zhuge Liang who was beaten to the ground when he came out of Qishan......"

Fang Zheng and Changping walked to the backyard all the way, because the Fang Mansion was too big, it was impossible for the three or four thousand forbidden troops who followed the emperor to hold all of them, so the generals of the forbidden army decisively contracted the defense, narrowing the scope of the defense to the small piece from the gate of the Fang Mansion to the backyard, everyone in the Fang Mansion was concentrated here, and the other places were abandoned.

"Fang Zheng, if you escape from the battle at this time, the rebels will attack sooner or later, and these people in your mansion today, including your parents and wives, will all end up in a different place, you have to think clearly!" The emperor's stern voice came from behind Fang Zheng.

The corners of Fang Zheng's mouth twitched, and he was about to cry.

Reluctantly turned around and faced the emperor, Fang Zheng said helplessly: "Your Majesty, what do you want to do?" ”

The emperor looked at Fang Zheng and Changping's hands clasped tightly, a little warmth flashed in his eyes, and the emperor smiled slightly: "I want you to move the rescue soldiers!" ”

Fang Zheng's legs were weak when he heard this, so Changping helped him on the side.

Fang Zheng looked at Changping and said with a crying voice: "Mi'er, did you hear it?" Your father wants to kill me......"

Surrounded by strong enemies, it was too embarrassing to expect Fang Zheng, a man who couldn't even ride a horse, to rush out of the city to move rescue soldiers.

Changping had already regarded himself as the young lady of the Fang family, of course, he had to help her husband speak, and when she heard the dissatisfaction, the emperor snorted, and said coquettishly: "Father, of course it is necessary to move the rescuers, but I don't need my husband to go in person, right?" There are so many ministers here, and thousands of soldiers of the forbidden army, who can you send, you have to let my husband go. ”

Fang Zheng was moved to tears, and kept nodding his head on the side: "That's it!" We haven't had a cave yet, and we will be shot into a hedgehog when we go out for a while, and you are widowed and unjust! ”

Changping's face turned red, and he stomped his feet and said, "Shut up!" When is it, still thinking about the cave room! ”

Fang Zheng pleaded: "Your Majesty, many people are suitable to move rescue soldiers, why do you have to choose me?" If you really can't find someone, how many can I recommend for you? The killer brother next to me is quite suitable, but he loves money too much and the price is too high, but don't worry, I will give the money, for the sake of the country and the emperor, I invited the killer brother's errand fee! ”

The emperor smiled and shook his head, "This matter can only be done by you, not anyone else." ”

"Why?" Fang Zheng was puzzled. Could it be that I have the face of a rescuer, similar to a cannon fodder role such as a wronged boss and a dead ghost?

"Because what I want you to invite is Feng Qiudao's Long Wujun." The emperor said with a straight face.

"Feng Qiudao...... Your Majesty, even if you want to invite Feng Qiudao's army, you don't necessarily have to ask me to go. Fang Zheng said with a bitter face.

The emperor said worriedly: "The city has been invaded by rebels, but the Longwu army and the Shence army stationed sixty miles away have not moved, I am worried about ......"

"Your Majesty, Weichen guarantees with his head that Feng Qiudao will never betray you!" It was about the loyalty of his friends, Fang Zheng hurriedly said with a serious face.

The emperor nodded slightly and said: "I also hope that Feng Qiudao will not surrender to the enemy, after Feng Qiudao is loyal, he led the army into the Turkic steppe and made great contributions, and he has only been the general of the Longwu Army for half a year, so he should not be bought so quickly......"

Fang Zheng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't misunderstand him, no matter how long he has been a general, he will not be bribed." ”

If it is said that such a bright and bloody man as Feng Qiudao will be co-opted by Pan Shangshu and killed, he will not believe it.

"Humph! The city is in chaos like this, if he really has the heart of being loyal to the king and diligent king, why didn't he send troops to rescue him for a long time? The emperor snorted coldly.

"Maybe he's delayed something, such as eating something bad and having diarrhea or something......"

In order to prove Feng Qiudao's innocence, Fang Zheng thought about it seriously and said: "Feng Qiudao failed to save King Jiaqin, there may be many reasons, one is a rat trap, worried that the emperor has fallen into the hands of the rebels, so he does not dare to act rashly, and second, Feng Qiudao has only taken over the Longwu Army for half a year, if some of the generals of the Longwu Army have been bought by Pan Shangshu, at this moment he wants to lead the army to rescue him, I am afraid that he will not be able to command his soldiers, not to mention the rebellion, if the soldiers under his command do not have enough trust in him, they will definitely not dare to follow him into the city rashly...... ”

To put it simply, Feng Qiudao's current situation may not be very good.

The emperor smiled: "I look at your muddy life every day, and I thought that you had lived in such a mess in your life, but I didn't expect you to be stupid and see the ......situation clearly."

Fang Zheng was unhappy, did this praise me or hurt me?

"My conjecture is the same as yours, so I plan to send you out of the city, take my own special order, order Feng Qiudao to reorganize the army, and then lead the army into the city to defeat the rebels."

Well, it's back to the old topic.

"Your Majesty, why do you have to let me go? Isn't it the same who is sent? As long as it's someone you trust? For example, who is that, hey! Father-in-law Cao, come quickly, the emperor has a fat difference, and the lower officials have given it to you...... Hey, what are you hiding...... Greedy for life and afraid of death! ”

The emperor's face sank, "Enough!" Stop messing around! Time is urgent, this matter can only be handled by you, I know that Feng Qiudao has a great friendship with you, at this critical juncture, only if you insist on my personal order to transfer troops, he will believe it, if you send someone else, he may think that I made the will under the coercion of the rebels. ”

-----------------------------

Outside the West Palace Gate of the Royal Palace.

Pan Shangshu's face sank like water, staring at the tightly closed palace door.

The resisting defenders in the city have been almost annihilated, the capital has suffered a catastrophe that the Chinese Dynasty has not experienced for more than 100 years, the city is full of fire, the people flee in terror, the sound of killing, shouting, crying, chaos, everywhere is ruins and broken walls, corpses are everywhere. The rebels under the command of Zhao Hu have tightly controlled all the streets and yamen in the city, and those who dare to resist, whether they are soldiers or civilians, are all slaughtered, and countless defenders and civilians have died under the sword, because there are not many defenders in the city, the rebels attacked all the way, and soon killed the west gate of the palace.

"Boss, do you give the order to attack?" Zhao Hu stepped forward and asked respectfully. He knew that the palace in front of him, where the power, fame and fortune in the world was most concentrated, had always been what the boss desperately desired.

Since the palace was besieged by the forbidden army, Pan Shangshu knew that the situation had reached the point when the dagger appeared, and after deciding to send troops to start an uprising, he opened the secret passage in the study, so that the whole family went out of the city through the secret passage, and after meeting with Zhao Hu's rebels, he issued an order to attack the capital.

The secret passage was repaired by him ten years ago, and he originally thought that under the emperor's favor, he would not use it one day, but he didn't expect to use it today.

The palace as usual, looks majestic, solemn, golden palace roof, symbolizing how noble and extravagant the people who enter the palace, set all the power and wealth in the world, kowtow for a lifetime, look at the faces of others for a lifetime, and finally wait for today. As long as the army attacked, everything inside would be his, including the golden and dazzling dragon chair on the Jinluan Palace.

After taking a few deep breaths, he forced himself to suppress the excitement in his heart, the more at this time, the more he couldn't be complacent, Pan Shangshu narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Why didn't the other four-way army that made an appointment to start an incident see any movement?" Could it be that things have changed? This matter is too strange, and Pan Shangshu faintly feels that something is wrong.

Zhao Hu shook his head and said, "I don't know, my subordinates have sent spies to investigate." ”

Pan Shangshu's face remained unchanged, but there was a slight panic in his eyes, and he muttered: "I hope there is no change......

Zhao Hu asked softly, "Boss, did you give the order to attack?" "The palace is in front of you, you can get it at your fingertips, and if you enter the palace, this matter is half the battle.

Pan Shangshu thought of something else: "Is he in Fang Zheng's mansion?" Are you sure? ”

Zhao Hu nodded and said, "It's confirmed, today is the day of Fang Zheng and Princess Changping's big day, how could he not go?" ”

Pan Shangshu squinted his eyes and said: "This is very good, Fang Zheng is a thorn in the old man's heart, since they are all here, the old man just went to kill them all." - Zhao Hu, how many troops are left in your hands? ”

Zhao Hu silently calculated and said: "After attacking the capital, I fought with the defenders, and the casualties were not small, and now there are less than 30,000 soldiers who can fight." ”

Pan Shangshu frowned: "If the other four-way army can't come in time, wait for the Shence army and the Longwu army outside the city to counterattack, only with the 30,000 people in hand, I'm afraid it won't be able to support for long, I don't know why the four-way army didn't start according to the agreement, before the garrison outside the city counterattacked, the old man must capture the emperor alive, so that he can be invincible." ”

"Divide 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack the palace, and then divide 10,000 to strictly control all the key places in the city, and the rest will all follow the old man to Fangfu, it's time to meet him face to face."

"Yes."

Ignoring the screams of the people or the defenders before they died, Pan Shangshu stepped on the blood-stained ground under his feet expressionlessly, and walked towards the Fang Mansion step by step.

"Click!"

A dazzling lightning bolt pierced the night sky, illuminating the earth, and in the lightning and firelight, a corpse with a miserable death fell to the ground, clear and dazzling, like hell on earth.

"Once the success is done, all of them are damned." Pan Shangshu walked past these corpses without squinting, and said silently to himself in his heart.

Behind him came the sound of the horn of the army's assembly, and the sergeants in iron armor and iron helmets lined up in a neat line, holding high the steel knives in their hands, like a group of hungry wolves released from the cage, following behind Pan Shangshu and heading straight to Fangfu.

At the same time, the horn of the assault on the palace sounded.

------------------------------

Inside the Fang Mansion.

When the war was approaching, the guests and ministers who had come to congratulate Fang Zheng and Changping on their wedding were still panicked and gathered in the courtyard outside the front hall, each with the idea of surrendering or fighting. The soldiers of the forbidden army did not panic, and under the command of the officers, the trees planted in the Fang Mansion were cut down and piled up in front of the gate, and simple fortifications were temporarily built.

Fang Zheng was still trying to convince the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is out of the house, and he doesn't have the ability to rush out of the city at all......"

"It's okay, I will allocate three hundred forbidden troops to you, you go to the north city gate, and it shouldn't be a problem to open a bloody road in a short time." The emperor calculated very accurately, and even thought of the route for him.

"Your Majesty, if Weichen goes, what will I do with my family?" Fang Zheng looked back at Master Fang and Mrs. Fang, as well as Changping, Yanran, Sister Feng, and Xiao Lu...... They all need to protect themselves, how can I leave at this moment?

"I'll protect them." The emperor said lightly: "Even if you stay here, do you have the ability to protect them?" If the rebels come in, your father and mother, your wife, including you, will be killed. ”

"Not necessarily...... Wouldn't it be okay if everyone fled from the city together? Fang Zheng said with luck.

"Run? How to escape? The emperor said with a smile.

Fang Zheng turned his head, and said with anticipation in his eyes: "Dad, do we have a secret passage in our family?" The kind that goes straight out of the city. ”

Old Man Fang rolled his eyes and said, "No." ”

Fang Zheng said sadly: "How can it not be? Pan Shangshu has all of them......"

Old Man Fang said angrily: "The old man is an upright person and never does anything wrong, why do you want to cultivate the secret path?" ”

Look, the ancient people were so rigid.

Just as he was about to continue to play tricks with the emperor, there were suddenly neat footsteps and horses' hooves outside the door, knocking on everyone's hearts one by one, faintly with a bloody killing atmosphere, like the call of death, sending everyone an invitation from hell......

Outside the gate of Fangfu, the first cavalry to appear rushed straight through the gate of Fangfu, and did not stop, and then a large force of troops swarmed in, silently and orderly surrounded Fangfu, on the square outside the gate, more than 5,000 rebels held steel knives and spears, and their eyes were cold and stared at a pair of red lanterns hanging high at the door.

Everyone in the house changed color, and the rebels finally came.

The emperor's eyes were dark, his face was gloomy and terrifying, staring at the closed door, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

"The old minister sees the emperor and welcomes the emperor back to the palace." Pan Shangshu's voice came from far outside the door.

Fang Zheng was furious when he heard this, damn! Old thing, my big day today is all messed up by you old bastard!

The emperor sighed, and said in a deep voice through the heavy gate: "Old Shangshu, I didn't expect you to take this step." ”

Pan Shangshu's voice did not fluctuate at all, and he was as respectful as ever: "The old minister is dead!" Ask the emperor for forgiveness! ”

"Why? Lao Shangshu, why? Have I treated you badly all these years? ”

In the past, the atmosphere of gentlemen and ministers being close to each other and being like a fish in water has long been replaced by the atmosphere of a tense war between the two sides.

One is inside the door and the other is outside the door, a pair of old people who have been friends for decades, through the heavy door panel, recounting the grievances and contradictions for many years in a flat tone.

"The time is also, the momentum is also. Your Majesty, with all due respect, in recent years, there have been too many villains around you, so that state affairs are deserted, government affairs are chaotic, the people are displaced, and rebellions are frequent. In this way, even if the old minister is cut by the emperor with a thousand knives, it is not a pity to die! ”

Pan Shangshu's words were righteous and awe-inspiring, and he seemed to be selfless in leading the troops to make trouble.

"You fart! Pan Wenyuan, you shit! Stirring up Lao Tzu's marriage, raising troops and making trouble, he said politely, he wanted to be the emperor, he said directly, don't always take the people, villains or something as a pretense, do you think everyone in the world is blind? Phew! Rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone will be punished! Fang Zheng jumped to his feet and scolded viciously.

Anyway, everyone can't survive, so it's better to scold it. The new hatred was added to the old grudge, and Fang Zheng scolded heartily.

"Shut up!" The emperor reprimanded in a low voice: "Do you want to talk more at this time?" Fast! I allocated 300 forbidden troops to you, and I rushed out to find Feng Qiudao to transfer troops, and the safety of me and your family depends on you! ”

Fang Zheng stiffened his neck and said toughly: "No! Wechen is not going anywhere, so who! Get me a knife! I'm going to rush out and fight this old bastard surnamed Pan! Let this old bastard know that Lao Tzu is a loyal minister, not a villain! ”

Obviously, the "villain" Yunyun in Pan Shangshu's mouth angered this young master Fang, who thought he was a loyal minister.

Everyone in the Fang Mansion knew Fang Zheng's temperament relatively well, and when they saw that he was actually a rare iron and blood at this moment, their eyes widened in surprise.

You must know that among so many people trapped in the mansion, although Fang Zheng is not the most incompetent person, he is definitely the most afraid of death, and now this person who is most afraid of death has such a fierce and brave side, which really has to be awe-inspiring.

"Fang Zheng, don't mess around!"

"Nope! I'm going out to fight him! Fang Zheng was stubborn like a wayward child.

The emperor said angrily: "You...... All right! Come on, give him a knife, let him go out and fight hard. ”

Fang Zheng took the steel knife, weighed it in his hand, his face was cold and violent, and then his face suddenly changed, and he smiled flatteringly at the emperor: "Your Majesty, don't take it seriously, Wechen just said it casually, to show that Wechen is a loyal minister who is not afraid of death, and it is so dangerous to fight hard, so let's leave it to your soldiers......"

After speaking, he carefully handed the steel knife in his hand to the forbidden soldiers on the side, and kept muttering: "Hey, be careful, don't cut me, take it, stay away from me...... Oops, this murder weapon is terrifying......"

Everyone: "............"
