Chapter 279: Lawlessness
9429 Chapter 279 Lawlessness
The emperor stood on the square in front of the Temple of Heaven on the top of the mountain, the square was paved with polished smooth blue bricks, the Temple of Heaven was built by the previous dynasty, and this wide square alone did not know how much manpower was spent.
The emperor quietly looked at the plain under the mountain. The sparse flames of war, there, his eldest son. is leading the rebels, fighting to the death with the Longwu Longxiang army, and look at this situation. His eldest son lost. Come to think of it. The emperor's cloudy old eyes couldn't help but glow with a little desolation and sadness.
is the most ruthless emperor's family, when the supreme emperor is blinded by people's eyes, all family affection has become a stepping stone for profit. The ruthlessness of the emperor's family is because its appearance is covered with a glamorous and dazzling aura of power. Everyone in the emperor's family lost their nature. Become cruel and greedy.
Emperor, Emperor, do you know that everything in the Union belongs to you, so why are you in a hurry at this time?
The cold wind blew in the night, and the emperor's old body couldn't help but tremble, and Gonggong Cao was on his side, and when he saw this, he hurriedly draped a fox fur in his hand on the emperor's shoulder.
"It's almost dawn." The emperor raised his head, looked at the east with a touch of fish belly white, and said lightly.
Wei Chengde shrugged and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, the battle under the mountain is also coming to an end." Congratulations to the emperor, once again extinguished the rebellion. ”
The emperor smiled bitterly: "Where does the joy come from?" For more than 40 years, the rebellion has never stopped. Why do so many people want to rebel? Could it be that this emperor is really a faint king? ”
Looking at the flames of war under the mountain, the emperor sighed: "The sorrow of the union! ”
Wei Chengde's heart sank, bowed, and was speechless.
In the North City Tower, a group of guards stood outside the door, the door of the main building was tightly closed, and there was a sudden chaotic sound inside, followed by the screams of Lord Fang, whose voice was bitter and complaining, which made people sympathetic.
The guards guarding the door looked at each other, and couldn't help but prick up their ears curiously to listen to the movement inside the door.
"Ah, let go! It hurts, it hurts, "You crazy!" Lord Fang seemed to be in extreme pain.
"Humph! Do you dare to be fussy with the old lady? Luo Yueniang's tone was extremely proud.
"Damn! Didn't you just put your arms around your shoulders, did you do this to me? We're both okay, ah, I'm wrong! You let go, let go, my arm is broken"
Lord Fang's voice fell, and he only heard a crisp "click". Then there was silence inside
"Yikes! Out of direction, I "I didn't mean to, you" are you okay? Luo Yueniang's voice became panicked.
"Fang Zheng, are you okay? You speak, "Ah! You: "Are you crying?" ””
"You" don't cry, wipe your tears, I" I'll pick you up. ””
"Melt"
The cold sweat on the heads of the guards who were eavesdropping outside the door gradually flowed, and they looked at each other a few times, but no one dared to enter.
Immediately afterwards, the door of the main building opened with a "bang", and Fang Zheng's clothes were disheveled, and his hair was scattered. Staggered out of it, as miserable and depressed as if he had been abused by a dozen female hooligans, and there were tears of humiliation on his face.
The guards who were eavesdropping were startled and hurriedly stood up straight without squinting.
"Uh, sir, are you alright?" Vinson asked cautiously, his eyes glancing back and forth into the building. He was also one of the many eavesdroppers just now, and listening to Lord Fang's voice, it seemed that he had suffered a lot.
Fang Zheng wiped away his tears indiscriminately, tried to keep his face straight, and hummed seriously: "Of course I'm fine, do you think there is anything wrong with me?" ”
"No" is perfectly fine. Everyone hurriedly shook their heads, and their movements were surprisingly consistent.
Fang Zheng felt a little relieved, and then glared fiercely at the building. said viciously: "If you treat a disobedient mother-in-law, you have to whip her mercilessly!" If you dare to prick a thorn, our manly husbands should pick it up fiercely! ”
"Adult" heroic! The crowd praised in unison.
"Poof!" Luo Yueniang's chuckle came from inside the building.
The guards were sweating profusely and hurriedly turned their heads to look at Fang Zheng. I wonder how this laughter can be explained?
"Did you hear that? Hmph, she laughed in fear! Lord Fang paused and continued to speak hard.
"Ahh Right! Mighty! The tide of sycophants suddenly drowned Lord Fang.
Standing on the city tower with his hands in his hands, Fang Zheng's gaze had become deep when he looked to the north. It's almost dawn. Fang Zheng, who hadn't slept all night, was not tired at the moment, whether he wanted it or not, the prince had forcibly pressed everyone to the gambling table, forcing everyone to accompany him to gamble.
I don't know what the battle situation is at the foot of Shenlie Mountain at this time, it is said that he and the emperor arranged it in advance, and they thought of all the places that should have been thought of, but in the end, there was suddenly an additional rebel army, and they were actually ambushed in the north of Shenlie Mountain.
This rebel army is like a sharp knife arranged by the crown prince, at the moment when the emperor is closest to victory. suddenly stabbed the emperor in the back, so that the whole situation would collapse instantly because of this sharp knife, and the ending of the prince's defeat would also be reversed, and the situation became confusing again.
"My lord, it's almost dawn." Vincent stood beside Fang Zheng, looking at the north with a relaxed expression. Worry was written all over his face. "If the prince wins, will you hate me? What awaits you is the end of the family and extermination. ”
Vinson was stunned. Shaking his head and laughing: "The brothers are willing to follow the adults, everyone doesn't read much, and they don't know much about the great principles of the monarch and the minister, the father and son, they only know who is good to them, they are good to whom, even if they lose, the big family will follow the family and exterminate the family, it doesn't matter, let's start all over again in the next life." ”
"Raiding the house? What kind of house to copy? Xiao Huaiyuan came from somewhere, and his expression was quite excited.
Fang Zheng looked at him strangely: "Why haven't you gone back yet?" Why do you stay in the castle tower all the time? Don't you know that this is a military forbidden place? ”
"Brother Fang, are you going to raid the house?" Xiao Huaiyuan didn't answer, and rubbed his hands excitedly. The light in his eyes was like that of a hungry wolf seeing a piece of delicious, fat meat.
Fang Zheng was stunned: "What kind of house to copy?" No one recruits me, no one messes with me, whose house do I raid? ”
Xiao Huaiyuan slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Who said that no one provoked you?" There are more people who provoke you, who hasn't provoked you in the Manchu Dynasty? Of course, that's what you provoke first. ”
"Huh?" Fang Zheng was shocked and glanced at Wen Sen aggrievedly: "Am I so annoying?" ”
Vinson's face was embarrassed, his eyes rolled, and he smiled dryly: "This" quack, see the wisdom, see the wisdom, quack,"
Fang Zheng turned his head and glared at Xiao Huaiyuan: "What do you want to say?" ”
Xiao Huaiyuan hated that iron could not become steel and said: "Lead the soldiers to raid the house!" ”
"Whose house is it raiding?"
"Prince!"
"Stop: You're crazy!" Fang Zheng and Vincent were shocked. Shouted in unison
Xiao Huaiyuan licked his lips, his eyes flashed with sickly excitement, and said, "Who said I'm crazy?" The prince rebelled, and now he is fighting with the emperor outside the city, think about it, the person who rebelled, is he still qualified to be the prince? The emperor returned to the dynasty with a great victory. The prince must be investigated for the crime of rebellion, the prince is dead, and it is a foregone conclusion that he will be beheaded by the family, Brother Fang; Think about it with your head of dying and asking for money, if you wait for the people from the Criminal Department and the Household Department to raid the prince's house, then what else will happen to you? I can't even take a bite of the soup! It's better to fight while they're all outside the city. Brother Fang helped the Criminal Department and the Household Department to do this. ”
"Brother Fang, the prince has been plotting to rebel for many years. There are countless gold and silver treasures in the house, and if you don't copy them, you will be cheaper than those moths in the household department, and they will definitely not hand them over to the treasury. Think about it, the silver of white flowers, the yellow and clear gold, and the mountains of eastern pearls and corals. Rare treasures, but they all fell into their pockets" Xiao Huaiyuan's tone was as charming as the snake in the Garden of Eden that lured Eve to eat the forbidden fruit, extremely evil.
Fang Zheng and Wen Sen looked at each other, their faces red and blue, half excited, half frightened.
Swallowing his saliva with difficulty, Fang Zheng's eyes began to glow with greedy green light, gold and silver treasures, my favorite" Xiao Huaiyuan said reasonably. Instead of cheapening the bastards in the household, it is better to cheapen myself, so many wives in the family. There are also fathers and mothers on it, and the big family spends a lot.
Copying the Prince's Mansion? The idea is crazy. General Yingranben never cared what the world thought of me. But I still have to care about the law of the country. Otherwise, after the emperor returned to Beijing, he found that there were only a few rats left in the prince's mansion, would he be angry on the spot? Then I will be charged with a crime of "killing the king", not to mention those hated and immoral officials in the court, and they will collectively participate in my robbery while the fire is hot, this ......
But "Oh,! The temptation to copy the prince's mansion is too great, so big that Lao Tzu can't help but want to take a risk, maybe the emperor and the officials are busy setting things right after returning to Beijing, cleaning up the mess, maybe forget about the prince's mansion.
Fang Zheng's eyes rolled rapidly. Suddenly, his face sank, and he stared at Xiao Huaiyuan suspiciously: "Let's copy the Prince's Mansion, why are you so happy?" Even if I really copy the Prince's Mansion, I don't plan to share it with you, don't be delusional! ”
Xiao Huaiyuan's expression changed, his whole face looked resentful and hideous, and he said angrily: "It's okay, I don't want a tael of silver, hum!" The prince is perverse, a lewd wife and daughter, I am helping God give him a small retribution! ”
Fang Zheng was stunned: "Hey, hey, Brother Xiao." Please calm down, I'll be fair, in fact, it's the wife and daughter of your lewd prince
Xiao Huaiyuan was stunned, and then shouted angrily: "I don't care!" Sisi and I are in love! If the prince forcibly occupies her, he will have to pay the price! Brother Fang, you can do this by yourself, maybe the emperor will return to Beijing after dawn, and then it will not be your turn to check the Prince's Mansion, and the people from the Criminal Department and the Household Department will definitely seal the Prince's Mansion. You drink the northwest wind and go cool! ”
Xiao Huaiyuan's expression was extremely excited at the moment, his face was hideous, and his sad face was long gone, and now he was like a madman who lost his mind and brandished a kitchen knife to cut people when he saw them.
Fang Zheng and Wen Sen looked at him dumbfounded, then glanced at each other, and saw Cha Min in each other's eyes. That was mercy to the crown prince. Not to mention that he wore a cuckold, that shameless adulterer was still clamoring to raid his home, and he was unreasonable? It's too much of a bully!
Fang Zheng frowned, touched his chin and muttered: "Aside from the triangular ethics between you, the prince and Miss Sisi, the twilight forgetfulness of the same sex, and the messy love. In fact, the raid on the Prince's Mansion does mean a little bit,"
Xiao Huaiyuan looked overjoyed, but Wen Sen was shocked and said, "My lord, don't do it!" Although the prince rebelled, he is the prince after all! The emperor has not made an order, you rashly lead troops to investigate, panic will bring you trouble
Fang Zheng was stunned. His eyes rolled, and he muttered, "That's right" The Prince's Mansion is not copied casually, and you can't be too impulsive in life and work
Vinson wiped his cold sweat and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Da Lu did not accompany this Xiao Huaiyuan
…
Who knew that Vinson was happy too soon.
"Someone! Order 2,000 soldiers and horses, follow me to the Prince's Mansion! After Fang Zheng pondered, he suddenly opened his mouth and shouted.
Wen Sen's legs were weak, and he almost didn't cry when he looked at Fang Zheng.
"Your Excellency, don't confiscate," Vincent pleaded.
Fang Zheng's face was blank, and he said with a straight face: "Nonsense! Who said I was going to raid the Prince's Mansion? ”
"Then you are
"Humph! I'm here to gather evidence of the prince's plot to rebel! Fang Zheng said righteously.
"That's right! Go collect the evidence! Master Fang is worried about the country, and he is not afraid of offending the powerful in order to cut off the chaotic party. The emperor and those tongue-chewing officials can't find anything wrong with you. Xiao Huaiyuan hurriedly nodded in agreement, his eyes narrowing into a slit with a smile. Happy as if something.
"That's it! Lao Tzu has done such a great thing, the emperor should reward me. When Fang Zheng heard that someone agreed, he immediately smiled happily.
"Brother Fang is relieved to collect evidence. At that time, the emperor's younger brother will unite the people of the capital and large and small merchants to hand the emperor a table of all the people to commend the adult's dedication to the country. ”
"Oh? Are you sure? Wahahahaha, it's too polite, I don't dare to be, I don't dare to be "Hey, you have to talk about it." ”””
Looking at the backs of Fang Zheng and Xiao Huaiyuan rushing away, Wen Sen's face was pale, sweat was like rain, and he muttered: "Crazy, crazy."
Why is Lord Fang so lawless when he gets together with this Xiao Huaiyuan?
After hesitating for a moment, Vincent finally stamped his foot and followed. Master Fang will definitely need my help in collecting evidence......
So, on the streets of the capital before dawn, a group of 2,000 city defense soldiers and hundreds of shadow subordinates surrounded Fang Zheng and walked in a neat pace. Towards the Prince's Mansion, the sound of footsteps echoed and fluttered in the empty street, and the bluestone brick-paved street trembled slightly, on both sides of the street. The people and merchants who woke up quietly pushed open the first-line windows, and looked at the group of jubilant soldiers with shocked faces as they walked over, as if they were going to drink someone's happy wine, and their faces were full of joy and happiness...
Xiao Huaiyuan nodded and walked in front to lead the way, showing a flattering smile towards Fang Zheng from time to time. And General Fang walked with his hands on his shoulders, his nostrils facing the sky, and his ambition was full of words.
"Oh, Brother Fang, hurry up. If you want to get rich, you must step a little wider, and you must be a little bolder,"
"Ahh Brother Fang, be careful, there's a small pit ahead."
"Brother Fang, little brother beg, this time you must turn the prince's mansion upside down and help the little brother vent his evil anger"
Squinting at Xiao Huaiyuan, Fang Zheng snorted angrily, he has known this guy for so long, he is the most annoying now. It made Fang Zheng think that Wu Sanhang, who led the Qing soldiers into the customs, was really cheap when he walked with him, and even he seemed to have become a villain."
Fang Zheng glared at Xiao Huaiyuan, who was full of sneers, again, and the more he looked at it, the more he hated it, "It's so annoying!"
After copying the prince's mansion later, Lao Tzu will also copy Xiao Huaiyuan's home. General Fang's face did not change, and he secretly made this decision.
God Lierang. Under.
The two armies of Longwu and Longxiang have completed the encirclement of the prince's rebels, and an encirclement circle of more than ten miles has been formed on the wide plain below the mountain. The Prince's rebels were demoralized at this time; The hands holding the weapons and shields began to tremble unconsciously, and with numb and slightly panicked eyes, they kept looking back at the prince's military tent.
The arrows have been released, and it will not take half an hour. The strange army in the north will definitely be able to rush to the top of the mountain, and the father and the ministers of the court and the central government will definitely be caught off guard, and Feng Qiudao and Han Dashi will not have time to rescue. Lone's purpose of containing them here has been achieved, and what remains is to sacrifice this army of less than 10,000 people and lead Feng Qiudao and Han Dashi's troops to the north bank of the Yangtze River, which is farther away from his father.
The prince sat in the military tent, his expression trembling with excitement, becoming a king and defeating him, in one move. At this time tomorrow, if you are not the Ninety-Five Supreme who ascends to the Great Treasure, you will be the general of the defeated army who will incarnate the loess.
"Order, the whole army shrinks, concentrates forces in the north of the encirclement, and breaks through to the north." The crown prince finally gave the military order.
Sisi stood up, wiped the pipa in her hand, lowered her head, and silently began to pack the prince and her belongings.
On the top of the mountain, the ministers of civil and military affairs are gathered at the edge of the square in front of Yinyun, everyone has an unconcealed joy on their faces, pointing to the encirclement under the mountain that the victory has been decided, and it is not until this moment that everyone completely eliminates the fear, and in the face of the situation that the victory is in hand, everyone praises the emperor's strategy.
The emperor frowned, looked at the prince rebels in the encirclement under the mountain, and was silent. He turned a deaf ear to the praise of the Manchu ministers.
"No disease, you come near." The emperor said lightly.
"Yes, Father." The fat man crossed the crowd. Standing respectfully in front of the emperor.
The emperor looked at the fat man with an honest face, and couldn't help but smile with relief from the bottom of his heart.
The dawn is gradually dewing, the sky is slightly bright, and the encirclement under the mountain can already be seen clearly.
The emperor pointed to the bottom of the mountain and said to the fat man: "No disease." What do you think of the situation? Is it a chance to win? ”
The fat man squinted at the bottom of the mountain, then looked around again, and then said respectfully: "Father, the son thinks that it is too early to win at this time. ”
The ministers behind him suddenly turned different when they heard this. looked at the emperor and the blessed king standing at the front with a complicated expression.
The ministers think more, they see. It's not an easy answer. The prince rebelled. He is definitely going to be deposed, and now the emperor is in front of all the ministers, and he asks the king about military affairs, which means that it is self-evident. After this battle, the ministers in the court will face the fate of being purged again, the prince's comrades will definitely be kicked out of the court, King Fu has sprung up, faintly standing under the emperor, there are signs of inheriting the throne of the prince, these ministers. In addition to those who were purged out, those who can stay in the court also have to think carefully and think about how to stand in line again in order to keep the glory of the official and the family.
The smile on the emperor's face deepened, he covered his mouth and coughed violently a few times, panting and laughing: "No disease, tell me your opinion." ”
The fat man carefully supported the emperor, and then pointed to the encirclement circle under the mountain and said: "The practice of the two armies of Longwu and Longxiang to surround the prince's rebels is correct, but" once the enemy is encircled, then the forces have been dispersed, so that although the rebels are attacked on all sides, the pressure on each side is much smaller, it seems that the encirclement is like Mount Tai pressing the top, unstoppable, but in fact it is the weakest, and the rebels can even choose a direction to break through at will, without any effort at all. ”
"Oh? According to what you said, it is not advisable to surround the rebels at all, Feng Qiudao and Han Dashi have led the troops for many years and are well versed in the art of war, don't they know? But they still choose to surround and are not sick, what do you say these two generals have in mind? ”
The fat man thought for a while and said with a smile: "If Erchen is the general who leads the troops, he may make the same choice as them, because" Erchen has no other choice at all, if the encirclement is not implemented, if the rebels want to escape, they will still run, and it is more convenient, and there is,
"What else?" The emperor looked at the fat man and said with a smile.
The fat man greeted the daylight of the ministers, and said with some embarrassment: "Actually, the ministers have been suspecting that the prince is rebelling, is the strength just like this?" With the strength of these tens of thousands of people, if it is said that he can usurp the throne as the emperor, it is inevitably a bit of a child's play, the prince is not a child, and he will never make such a rash decision. Therefore, Erchen faintly felt that the prince should still have a backhand, maybe the two generals also thought of it, they didn't dare to transfer their troops too far away from this Shenlie Mountain, just to be on guard against the prince's other tricks at any time. Therefore, when the two generals raised troops, it was inevitable that they would be a little restrained, "Father, son, this shallow view, I don't know if it's right"
The emperor laughed a few times, and the net was about to speak. I heard a shout coming from the winding mountain road: "I have an urgent military situation to meet the emperor!" Don't stop me! ”
Everyone frowned and looked over, but saw a middle-aged man dressed in black with a worried expression, sweating profusely and shouting at the forbidden soldiers who stopped him, and from time to time he was so anxious that he stomped his feet.
"Let him come." The emperor said lightly.
The middle-aged man lifted the forbidden soldiers, walked quickly to the emperor, knelt down and said, "Long live the villain!" Your Majesty, the villain is a subordinate of Lord Fang Zheng Fang in the capital, Lord Fang sent the villain to report the news, and there is an emergency army ** reported to the emperor! ”
As he spoke, he also took out a woodcarved pocket waist card and handed it to prove his identity.
When the emperor heard this, his heart tightened: "What an urgent military situation, say!" ”
"Yes. Your Majesty, Lord Fang got the news. There are two rebel armies of the crown prince, one of which is engaged with the army at the foot of the mountain, and there is an army of about 20,000 men and horses, which is ambushed at the northern foot of Shenlie Mountain, ready to go straight to the Temple of Heaven on the top of the mountain, and capture or kill the emperor and the ministers of the court! Lord Fang asked the emperor and all the adults to quickly go down the mountain and join the two armies of Longwu and Longxiang. to be safe. In addition, Lord Fang made a decision on the spot and sent an order to Dong Cheng's troops on the north bank of the Yangtze River, ordering them to quickly cross the river and go up the mountain to annihilate the last rebel army, the prince. ”
"What?" Including the emperor, all the people in the Temple of Heaven Square were taken aback.
"This news was delivered at a very timely time!" The emperor shouted loudly in a deep voice: "The forbidden army obeys the order." Facing the north of the square, they are on guard at any time, ready to resist the rebels, all Aiqing, quickly go down the mountain with the union, send people down the mountain to spread the will of the union, and order Feng Qiugu's department to move closer to the union, and Han Dashi's department will continue to kill the rebels! ”
