The city is full of smoke. The spring-like Jiangnan is also reprimanded with the killing spirit of Dengzhi Yili.

In the rolling yellow dust, the encirclement of the three-way army shrank tighter and tighter, and the shield hand blocked the front, lined up in a neat phalanx. Stepping through the meadows, hills and official roads outside the city, the prince's rebels were driven step by step to the moat outside the north city gate.

The uniform footsteps, mixed with the sound of the iron blades of the armor rubbing, like the approaching footsteps of death, made the rebel soldiers pale, back to back, and retreated step by step. No one spoke, no one persuaded to surrender, only the terrifying sound of footsteps reached the eardrums, and the rhythmic touch of gold and iron against the shield made a ding-dong sound, as if sounding the death knell for their group of desperate rebels.

This is not a battle between the two armies, this is a one-sided encirclement and suppression, the difference in strength is huge, and the morale is even more different, the rebel soldiers feel that they are a group of sheep without resistance at this moment, driven by nearly 100,000 shepherds, they have no way to resist, even if the other party wants to drive them into the slaughterhouse, they can only obediently let it be driven. The confrontation between the two armies is based on strength, and at present, they have no strength at all, and they do not even have the courage to resist.

"I'm down!"

The outermost rebel soldiers finally couldn't bear the huge invisible pressure, and took the lead in throwing down their weapons, kneeling on the ground with their legs, trembling and crawling in the dust. They are not afraid of death, but they are more eager to survive.

Someone took the lead. Suddenly, there was a commotion among the rebel soldiers, like a plague, which quickly infected the entire rebel camp. Even the generals who led the troops threw down their weapons, and it was stupid to resist senselessly, everyone understands this truth, and it is good to be alive, of course, to be alive.

The encirclement is still shrinking, behind the shield a pair of cold and cold eyes, coldly staring at this group of poor and hateful sheep, when this group of rebels slaughtered their robes at the foot of Shenlie Mountain, when they were vicious and tried to sneak attack the emperor on the top of the mountain, did they ever think that feng shui would turn around and turn back that day.

The three-way army walked in order, and the shields erected on three sides were like three impassable copper walls, and they were forcing the rebels under the city walls step by step.

The soldiers with shields in their hands didn't look at the rebels who were prostrate on the ground and surrendered, striding across their bodies, the ranks still approaching in order. After the shield. A terrible scream was heard, and the rebels who surrendered were mercilessly slaughtered by the spears behind their shields, leaving not a single mouth alive.

The emperor has a decree. Be sure to completely annihilate the rebels, which means "total annihilation". It literally means that the rebels can't be allowed to have a breather, whether they surrender or not, the outcome is the same.

This holy decree is not cruel and bloodthirsty, nor is it mediocre, no one who is the emperor will let these ten thousand rebels live, since they dare to challenge the imperial power, they must bear the price of defeat. That price is life. What's more, the emperor's days are numbered, and he wants to leave a place for the new emperor without hidden dangers. The splendid country full of life, no matter from which point of view, these 10,000 rebels must die.

This one-sided slaughter proceeded quickly, piercing with a spear, and then moving on, stepping on the blood of the way, reaping human lives effortlessly. The encirclement has been reduced to a very narrow range, and behind the rebels is a deep and sharp moat, with enemies on three sides and water on the other, which is the most taboo dead end in the art of war.

The rebel soldiers were concentrated on the dead end, struggling and pushing, like livestock in a slaughterhouse, helpless and afraid.

After squeezing the rebels into an unusually narrow area, the footsteps of the three-way army suddenly stopped, and with the shouts of the generals, the shields paused on the ground together, making a neat sonorous sound, which made people tremble.

Then the two armies fell silent, and the rebel soldiers, for some reason, suddenly stopped, and looked at each other in disbelief, and at the enemy troops surrounding them with horror on their faces, and everyone looked very overwhelmed.

The prince still stood still, his eyes staring straight ahead, the sparkle in his eyes completely gone, like a puppet in his hand, he turned around and strode onto the golden chariot that represented his last glory.

Inside the Imperial Palace. Sisi's expression was stiff, holding the pipa in her arms, she didn't know what she was thinking, when she saw the prince open the curtain and enter, she looked at the prince with a complicated expression, and asked hoarsely for a long time: "Your Highness, is the situation irreparable?" ”

The prince nodded in confusion, his gaze empty.

Sisi sighed lightly, put down the pipa in his hand, knelt on the warm and soft bear skin in the imperial chariot, and kowtowed deeply to the prince, "Your Highness, Sisi has served you for a while, after all, fate is too thin, Your Highness, please bow to the sharp Sisi." ”

The prince looked at Sisi deeply, his empty gaze finally had a little warmth, he smiled miserably, and said hoarsely: "Sisi, when you are lonely and destitute, only you will never abandon Lonely, and Lone will know you in this life, how fortunate it is." ”

Sisi hung his head. Meimu burst into tears, sighed faintly, and reached out to take a lacquer box in the chariot. When I opened the lacquer box, I saw a jug of fine wine.

Sisi poured the wine full, offered it to the prince with both hands, and then sent a poignant smile to the prince.

"Doesn't Your Highness like to listen to Sisi play the pipa the most? Sisi will play the last song for His Highness, okay? ”

The prince looked at Sisi in a daze, and after a while, he finally nodded, raised his head and drank the wine in his hand, and his face had returned to his usual elegant and gentle smile.

"Sisi's pipa tune, Lone is the favorite to listen to, and you play it for Lone."

Thereupon. In the rebel camp, there was a sudden rumor that was sometimes melodious. Sometimes the sound of the pipa is fierce, and when it is slow, it is like a spring breeze. In a hurry, it was like a shower, and the sound of the song spread in front of the two armies, and the gold and iron clashed, adding a bit of killing atmosphere.

The prince sat on the chariot, holding a cup in one hand and a pot in the other. looked at the two rows of green weeping willows by the moat, and suddenly smiled enlightenedly: "Ruthless is the most Taicheng willow, still smoke cage ten miles of embankment, rise and fall, victory or defeat, but that's it." ”

Drink another drink. The prince let out a long sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Today, I know that wine can be so delicious." ”

Sisi lowered his head and played with the pipa, and the moment his beautiful eyes closed, two lines of tears flowed all over his face unconsciously.

In a desperate situation. The prince should sit on the chariot and laugh with the melodious and agitated pipa small sitting on the wheel, like the end of the last feast of the last feast, when the tail of the pipa is still echoing under the city wall, the sound of gold is heard in the distance, the encirclement in the north quietly gives way to a two-zhang wide opening, not long after, the golden gourd scepter, the ritual warrior opens the way, the six horses and the royal chariot, the dragon chariot is then driven, the group passes through the encirclement, and comes to the front of the two armies to stop.

The emperor has already seen the hair

Lifting the bead curtain on the dragon chariot, the emperor walked out of the dragon chariot trembling slightly, and he was already old, stubbornly straightening his waist. Majestically glancing at the group of frightened rebels in front of him, after a long time, the emperor shouted in a deep voice: "Call the prince to come out and answer." ”

The hour of the half-pillar of incense passed, and the rebel soldiers made a way to open a gap. The haggard figure of the crown prince appeared in front of the two armies, facing the emperor from a distance.

The father and son are only separated for a day, but their identities are far away. Before today. The prince is still the prince who is polite and polite, gentle and elegant, and when he sees each other today, it is like recording the shell of ten years of painstaking disguise, looking at each other frankly, heartache, but helpless. If he had a choice, the emperor would like this drama of father's kindness and filial piety to continue to be performed until the day he closed his eyes with a smile.

"The son visits his father." Facing the complicated gazes of the soldiers of the two armies, the prince looked calm and bowed down.

The emperor looked at the expressionless prince kneeling on the ground, sighed long, and looked more and more old and desolate in his expression.

"What about Si, Prince, why Si!" The emperor shed muddy old tears.

"Because Erchen wants to be the emperor." At this time, the prince no longer has to hide his ambitions, and he goes straight to the road.

"Since you are the prince, the emperor's seat will be yours sooner or later. Can't you even afford to wait that little time? ”

A mocking smile crossed the prince's handsome face.

"Erchen could have waited, Erchen waited for ten years, why not wait for another ten years? If it weren't for his father's insistence, it would be easy to save. No matter how long the ministers can afford to wait. ”

"That's because you're harboring evil intentions! You are secretly controlling the Divine Army. When Pan Wenyuan rebelled, he did not move, in a vain attempt to make a profit, and after the defeat, he killed Liu Changsheng, the general of the Shence Army, and annihilated the evidence, and there was no proof of death. How can Lian allow an ambitious person like you to sit on the throne? The emperor paused and said angrily.

The mockery on the prince's face deepened: "So so. This emperor's seat is still not mine, why can't I fight for it? ”

"You, you beast!" The emperor was so angry that he began to feast violently.

Far away. Fang Zheng's shout came from the city tower: "Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense with him, hurt your body, and give an order to annihilate the rebels!" ”

The prince turned back. Glancing at the city tower lightly, he sneered: "Father, the son's move is also a last resort. Erchen really couldn't bear to see the dynasty continue to be corrupted, and the court was in a miasma. ”

"In the world ruled by the United Nations, how can the dynasty be corrupted?"

"Father. In recent years, you have wantonly reused young courtiers to suppress Lao Ran, and among the reused courtiers, there are many despicable and treacherous people like Fang Zheng, which has led to the collapse of the dynasty. The government affairs are not smooth, and the courtiers and the people are talking in private, saying that you are old and mediocre, and you are not good for the country, and you are suspected of harming the country."

On the castle tower. Fang Zheng's eyes were split, he held up a kitchen knife that he found out of nowhere, raised his leg and wanted to jump off the high-ranking city wall, desperately fighting with the prince, and screaming angrily: "I'll kill you bastard!" said that Lao Tzu was despicable and treacherous, where was Lao Tzu despicable and treacherous,"

Wen Sen and the guards hugged Fang Zheng in a cold sweat: "My lord." Calm down! Be calm, don't be impulsive! ”

"Whoosh!" The person didn't jump, but the kitchen knife was thrown out by Fang Zheng.

"Ahh

Under the city walls, innocent rebel soldiers were stabbed. ”

"Father. Erchen didn't want this great country to fall into the hands of those traitors, last year Pan Wenyuan rebelled, he played the banner of "pro-virtuous ministers, far villains, Qingjun side, although Erchen did not agree with his behavior, but he played the banner, Erchen deeply agreed. ”

The emperor laughed: "Pro-virtuous ministers, far villains, Qingjun side" is a selfless rebellion! Ages. How many rebellions are in the name of justice, ridiculous and pitiful! ”

The emperor's face sank: "It's not worth it to make any decision." Worthy of the people and the people, in front of the two armies, the alliance does not want to argue with you about the government, now, immediately order your soldiers to lay down their weapons, and you will also wait to be captured. You are the eldest son of Lian, and Lian promised to spare your life. In the future, you will still be a king, but you will be confined for the rest of your life. ”

The prince smiled miserably, then shook his head and slowly stood up. Said: "Father, the king is defeated, the son is not qualified to say more, from ancient times to the present, history has always been written by the victor, and the actions of the son and the minister will inevitably be infamous in the history books in the future, but at this moment, I am still the prince, I want to maintain the dignity and dignity of the prince of a country, and I can't live in humiliation for a lifetime,"

The emperor was furious: "Could it be that you still want to fight with the army of the alliance?" ”

The prince smiled sadly, and then slowly drew out his sword, "Yes, forgive my sons for being unfilial, for the sake of my last dignity, I have to fight, even if I am the only one left in the end, I will fight." In the future, it will at least be written in the history books: The crown prince of the Chinese Dynasty rebelled against the usurpation of the throne, was defeated, and the prince died in a bloody battle. ”

The emperor looked at the crown prince, and his eyes were full of pain: "You also said just now that history is written by the victors, what if the historian is not allowed to write it like this?" What will be left in the history books? The crown prince of the Hua Dynasty usurped the throne, the army was defeated, and the prince fled in a hurry, not knowing what to do

When the prince heard this, his face instantly turned extremely pale, and his whole body fell into a stupor, and his body couldn't help shaking and trembling, as if the belief he had always insisted on completely collapsed in an instant.

"Surrender," the emperor sighed deeply, like an old father advising his lost son, "Your dignity can only depend on the gift of the victor, and you should think of it before you start an army."

The crown prince suddenly stopped trembling, and laughed when he heard this: "Is the dignity of the victor's gift still called dignity?" Father, the son has been the prince for ten years, and he doesn't want to live by relying on people for the rest of his life, don't say much, father, tell your soldiers to attack! ”

The emperor sighed deeply, and the old tears suddenly covered his face with vicissitudes, and the whole person was depressed in an instant.

That's it. Unable to turn in circles, like a dead knot in a rope, no matter how you untie it, it is futile.

Turn around. The emperor's voice choked: "Okay, connect to fulfill the dignity you want." ”

"All on alert! Get ready to attack! Feng Qiudao shouted violently.

"Fish!" The spears lined up neatly flat, glowing with cold light and bloody spear tips, mercilessly aimed at the rebels and the prince in the encirclement.

The crown prince smiled miserably, raised his sword, and shouted in a sad voice: "Father, if there is an afterlife, the sons and daughters will never want to be born in this emperor's house again!" Take care, Father! ”

The emperor turned his back to the prince, and his old body couldn't help shaking, and the old tears were vertical and horizontal, and he couldn't cry.

The two armies are in front. Father and son, who are hostile to each other, are so farewell. Providence makes people, why not!

Suddenly. The prince's body began to tremble violently, the cold sweat of the bean kept coming out, the saber in his hand could no longer be held, and fell to the dusty ground, the prince knelt on one knee, covered his abdomen with his hand, and was speechless.

Sisi walked to the prince's side at some point, and she squatted down. calmly looked at the prince who was trembling in pain, and said softly: "Your Highness, does it hurt?" ”

"Sisi" you, it's you! The prince grabbed Sisi's hand vigorously, his face was painfully distorted, full of disbelief, and shouted, "Why? Why you? ”

"Your Highness. You want your dignity, but where do you put Sisi's dignity? Sisi still had a charming smile on her lips.

"The moment you push Sisi into the arms of others, Sisi's dignity has been trampled on the soles of your feet, Sisi doesn't want to be a bad woman, but Sisi wants to be an ordinary woman with flesh and blood, maybe humble. Maybe poor, but, dignified. ”

Blood. It continued to pour out of the prince's mouth and nostrils, and soon covered his handsome cheeks, and the prince's whole body began to tremble, convuls, and droop to death.

Everyone was shocked by this unexpected scene, the soldiers unconsciously lowered their spears and bows and arrows, and they looked at the man and woman with complicated feelings in the open space with surprised faces, and tens of thousands of people fell into a deathly silence in front of the confrontation.

"For the sake of your imperial cause, you can sacrifice Sisi, why can't Sisi sacrifice your imperial cause for the happiness of your life?" The smile on the corner of Sisi's mouth became colder and colder.

"Shenlie Mountain" Shenlie Mountain "It's you, you" The prince trembled and pointed at Sisi weakly.

Sisi nodded slightly: "Yes, it's me." Your Qin-raised private army, you want to take advantage of the secret of the sacrifice to the heavens to plot to usurp the throne. You ambushed strange soldiers in the northern part of Shenlie Mountain, and I secretly passed on all this information. ”

"No wonder, no wonder" The prince smiled miserably, his lips opening and closing, and a large mouthful of blood kept pouring out.

Sisi looked at the prince's dying face and couldn't help but cry.

"Your Highness. Sisi used to admire you so much, why, why do you treat Sisi as a commodity. Easy to give away? Why are you trying to do great things? In his heart, he refused to leave a place for Sisi, even if it was a small place to stand

"Sisi respects His Royal Highness a glass of poisoned wine today, which can be regarded as a break for you and me, Your Highness, don't blame Sisi. Sisi is just a woman, a woman who lives too humbly in front of you" Sisi hid her face and cried.

The prince didn't know where he got the strength, struggled to stand up, and in front of the soldiers of the two armies, he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed. It looked like madness, and the blood and tears on his face were mixed. It looks terrifying.

"Retribution, retribution! Hahaha,"

That's it. The prince was softly planted on the ground and died of exhaustion.

"Attack!" Feng Qiudao's order echoed in front of the formation.

Spears and shields. In an instant, the remnants of the rebels who overwhelmed the crown prince, and a one-sided slaughter was carried out quickly and effectively outside the northern city.

In the midst of the chaos. Sisi sat in blood all over the ground, holding the prince's corpse in his arms, his expression was dull, and his face was stiff. I don't know what I'm thinking or mourning."

An hour later, all the rebels had been slaughtered, and there was a river of blood and corpses all over the north city.

Fan Rui stood not far away, looking at Sisi and the prince's corpses, he also smiled, laughing as crazy as the prince.

"Heaven wants to kill me, it's not a crime of war, it's not a crime of war! Hahahaha

Fan Rui created his own body in front of the prince's corpse.

The emperor's body is crumbling, he is old, and in the face of the pain of losing his son, he seems to be unable to support this crippled body anymore.

"Message. Bury the prince and bury him with the rites of the prince. "The history books have completely erased this rebellion. It is not allowed to mention it in one word, and those who violate it will be punished by the nine clans! The historian wrote: The prince was infected with a violent disease, and the treatment was fruitless, so he died. ”

"Yes."

"This is the only thing that Lian can do for him," the emperor sighed.

"Order Fang Zheng to lower the drawbridge and open the city gate." Scanning the mountains of rebel corpses piled up under the city walls, the emperor's eyes were complicated, and he sighed: "It's time for Lian to enter the city." ”

The winch turned, making a creaking and rattling sound, the drawbridge slowly flattened, and the thick and heavy north gate finally opened slowly under the gaze of the soldiers.

Fang Zheng led more than a dozen generals of the newly promoted city defense army, hurriedly walked out of the city gate, knelt on the ground covered with blood and yellow dust, and said loudly: "Weichen Fang Zheng." Welcome the emperor back to Beijing, long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." Tens of thousands of soldiers inside and outside the city knelt down and chanted excitedly in unison.

Fang Zheng stood up, stretched out his hand to support the unstable emperor, with a courteous and flattering smile on his face: "Your Majesty." You go slowly, Wechen will help you,"

The emperor looked at Fang Zheng, and finally a little smile appeared in his sad eyes: "Fang Zheng, you are very good, you have lived up to Lian's entrustment." ”

"That's it. That is, Weichen is a great loyal minister

Fang Zheng smiled even more flatteringly, but he didn't know why in his smile. But with a bit of inexplicable heart.

"What's in your arms? It's connected

"Huh? That "hehe, it's the pearl of the night" Fang Zheng began to sweat.

"Where's the Night Pearl?"

"Huh? This "this" hehe, haha, quack" Fang Zheng smiled even more

Finish.
