Chapter 185: The End of the Road

Fang Zheng hugged the emperor's thigh and cried for a long time, but he didn't see the emperor say that he would reward him with silver, so he had to stand up stupidly.

Looking around left and right, his father, mother, wife, and many familiar people in the house were there, Fang Zheng smiled happily again, and comforted a lot in his heart. If you don't give the silver, forget it, young master, I'm greedy for myself, as long as my relatives are safe, this is a happy ending, right?

Seeing Changping standing aside pretty, he was still wearing the bridal dress that he didn't have time to take off, and his pretty face was blackened and white by the fire, which was extremely cute. Fang Zheng stepped forward, took her hand, and whispered in her ear: "Mi'er, let's find a place where no one is in the cave room......

"You...... You bastard! The rebels outside haven't been solved yet, but you think about this kind of thing, it's a bastard! Changpingqiao's face was flushed, and he didn't know whether he was ashamed or angry.

Fang Zheng rolled his eyes: "They beat theirs, let's fight ours, each fights its own, each has its own ......"

"What are we going to fight?" Changping wondered.

Fang Zheng said with a hippie smile: "...... Let's fight, hehe, goblin fight, it's exciting......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€

"Fang Zheng, I know that you have worked hard, but you can't rest now......" After the joy of getting out of trouble, the emperor said in a deep voice.

Fang Zheng said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, you know that I have worked hard, so let me rest......"

"No, Pan Yi hasn't caught it yet, you can't rest."

Fang Zheng exclaimed: "Your Majesty, you won't want Weichen to lead troops to continue the war, right?" If you don't go, you can't die, it's too scary, Wechen is cowardly......"

The emperor smiled and said: "Leaving the house in the starry night, moving troops to rescue the driver, judging the merits, counting you the greatest, I will give you the greatest credit, so that I can promote your official and add your knighthood." Seize the first rebellion, and your lord's official son will be promoted to a righteous name. ”

Fang Zheng still shook his head: "Your Majesty, it's very dangerous outside, Weichen is so weak that he can't help it, even if he is hurt by them." That's a lot of pain, too......"

The emperor gradually began to get impatient: "I have made an order." The 80,000 army outside is under your command, Pan Yi has retreated to the palace, and only a few thousand people are left to survive, what are you afraid of? Don't bargain with me anymore. Just go! ”

Fang Zheng was about to refuse, but when he saw Master Fang on the side glaring at him angrily, looking like he was going to eat people, Fang Zheng shrank his neck in fright, and hummed reluctantly: "Weichen obeys the order......"

Reluctantly glanced at the wives. Alas, I haven't gotten along with them yet......

Suddenly remembering something, Fang Zheng turned around and said in astonishment: "Eighty thousand troops? The Long Wu army is only 60,000...... Well, Your Majesty, before the Longwu army entered the city, an army of 20,000 horses and horses had taken the lead in breaking through the south gate, could it be that this army ......?"

The emperor smiled slightly: "They are the Long Xiang Army, an elite division that I secretly established a few years ago. ”

Fang Zheng was stunned, no wonder he rushed out of the house last night. The emperor was so calm, it turned out that he had already left behind, even if Feng Qiudao's Dragon Wu Army couldn't come, he could annihilate the rebels. Thinking about it further, the emperor said that he had set out to deal with Pan Shangshu a few years ago. I'm afraid his biggest bargaining chip is this army that no one knows about, right? Sure enough, he defeated the rebels at the most critical moment and saved him.

"No, the four doors were closed last night. The guards are heavily guarded, who went out of the city to report the letter to the Long Xiang army? ”

The emperor looked at him with a smile: "How did you get out of the city?" ”

Fang Zheng straightened his chest. Said proudly: "Weichen relies on wisdom!" ”

The emperor laughed and said, "Then he also relies on wisdom...... Don't ask, time is running out, hurry up and go to the palace. ”

Fang Zheng walked out sullenly, and countless questions appeared in his heart.

The emperor secretly established the Longxiang Army in order to deal with Pan Shangshu, and he endured it for several years, and it was fatal with one blow. It is worthy of the emperor's mental trick, and he saved the most ruthless killing move to the end. I wonder if in addition to the Long Xiang army, does the emperor secretly train other armies? There are a few more secret armies like this, and whoever rebels against him has to be a little careful.

If it is dangerous, it is actually quite dangerous, the emperor was almost burned to death, maybe he didn't expect that Pan Shangshu would do it so quickly, so that he almost fell short.

The biggest question is that in addition to mixing out of the city last night, there was also a person who also mixed out of the city and reported to Long Xiangjun, who is this person? Listening to the emperor's tone, this person is as smart as me, is it possible? Is there anyone as smart as me in the world?

"Fang Zheng." The emperor suddenly stopped him.

"Wechen is here."

"It's the time of the hour, remember, after the hour, I will open an early dynasty in the Jinluan Palace." The emperor stared at him and said categorically.

The implication is that the emperor asked Fang Zheng to clean up all the remnants of Pan Shangshu and the rebels who had retreated in the palace before the time came.

"Wechen obeys."

Walking out of the mansion with depression, Fang Zheng looked at the front yard of Fang's mansion, which had become a scorched earth, and sighed distressedly, if it is repaired, I don't know how much silver it will cost, Fang Zheng will definitely not let his father pay for it himself, but where can I get this silver......

A general in silver-white armor stepped forward, knelt down on one knee, and said in a loud voice: "Han Dashi, the commander of the Longxiang Army, meet Lord Fang!" According to the holy order, the Long Xiang army was assembled and obeyed the dispatch of Lord Fang. ”

Fang Zheng hurriedly helped him up, took a closer look, and saw that he was about forty years old, with a dark complexion and a somewhat short stature, but he looked very strong. There was a look of perseverance and loyalty in his eyes, the emperor could hand over the secretly established Longxiang army to him to command, it seemed that he must be the emperor's confidant.

Fang Zheng put on a smiling face, with a somewhat flattering tone, and arched his hand: "Confidant general, ah, wrong, General Han, look up for a long time, the situation is urgent, the younger brother was offended when he entered the city, and I hope the general is not strange." ”

When Fang Zheng entered the city, he was anxious about the safety of his family, and he didn't know whether the Longxiang army was friend or foe, so Fang Zheng ignored the order of the cavalry to charge and accidentally injured many soldiers.

Han Dashi's personality is not as rigid as Feng Qiudao's, and he smiled slightly when he heard this: "Lord Fang's words are serious, I didn't know the details of each other at that time, and adults were in a hurry to rescue the driver, it is normal to accidentally injure friendly soldiers, adults don't mind." ”

Fang Zheng said with a smile: "It's good that the general doesn't blame the little brother, the little brother and the general fell in love at first sight, what I didn't say, tonight the little brother has a treat, charter a painting boat, and invite General Han to drink flower wine......"

Saying that, Fang Zheng's obscene and cheap Korean Dashi squeezed his eyes: "...... The general has been leading the troops for a long time, I'm afraid he hasn't tasted meat for a long time, right? β€œ

Han Dashi hesitated: "The last general is no problem, but the last general heard that Lord Fang and Her Royal Highness the princess are newly married." This one...... Not quite right? ”

Fang Zheng was shocked, yes, tonight is the night of his cave room with Changping, in case Changping knows that he left her, he will go to Qinhuai River to drink flower wine with his eyes around his powder. The female guards around Changping still have to beat themselves to death?

Fang Zheng wiped his sweat. Dry smile: "Hehe, next time, next time......"

At this time, Feng Qiudao also came, after greeting each other. Feng Qiudao said: "Brother Fang, the remnants of the enemy in the city have been basically cleared, the remnants of the rebels have retreated to the palace, and the Longwu army has surrounded the palace, when will they attack." You give the order. ”

"Are the emperor's concubines and princesses still in the palace?" Fang Zheng asked.

"When the rebels attacked the palace last night, the concubines were protected by the forbidden army and escaped from the palace through Zhengyangmen."

Fang Zheng slapped his hands fiercely and shouted excitedly, "Then what are you waiting for?" Walk! Catch the old guy surnamed Pan and send him to the Workshop Division. ”

"What are you going to do with the Workshop Division?" The two generals asked in unison.

"Pick-up!" Fang Zheng said fiercely.

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

Inside the Royal Palace.

Thousands of rebels guarded the gate of the West Palace in a panic, and due to the rebellion, the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace fled in panic. Some of the forbidden troops guarding the palace escaped from the palace to protect the concubines, and some died in battle. The whole palace seemed quiet, like a huge tomb. Silent as a dead city.

The palace is the place where the wealth and treasures of the world are concentrated, but the thousands of remnants of the rebels seem to have lost interest in these, they sit against the palace wall with numb expressions, and look at the majestic and majestic palaces in front of them with dull eyes. But he couldn't get the slightest idea of coming forward to loot and fight.

They are desperate.

Occupying the palace was the ultimate dream of the usurper, because it represented the final success. Historically, the Imperial Palace is the last step towards glory.

But the situation is different now. For these remnants of the rebels, who are only a few thousand strong, this palatial palace. It is about to be the last stop to bury their lives.

Zhao Hu helped Pan Shangshu and walked towards the Jinluan Hall with a slight trembling step by step.

"Boss, let's rush out, the men are willing to fight to the death to protect the boss out of the city!" When the catastrophe came, Zhao Hu still tried hard to persuade him.

Pan Shangshu panted and shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Out of the city? What if you get out of town? Fleeing for your life in a hurry, waiting to be caught? ”

Zhao Hu hurriedly said: "You can go to the north, your protΓ©gΓ©s and old officials are all over the world, and you can make a comeback at any time......

Pan Shangshu waved his hand tiredly: "Don't say it, the old man won't live for a few years, and I don't want to live that kind of life when I run away in embarrassment every day and am tired of running for my life." ”

Zhao Hu was silent, in fact, before the incident, he had a premonition that he would fail. The old man was too anxious, eager to push the emperor down, eager to defeat this lifelong enemy, eager to prove that he could be a good emperor, but everything was not done quickly, and the old man left too many flaws because of his impatience, and finally failed.

Zhao Hu did not regret it, he knew that he should have died thirty years ago, his life was saved by the boss, the boss not only saved him, but also gave him fame, fortune, status, secretly helped him to the position, and became a general in charge of the army. Enough, enough, even if he dies now, he will die without regrets, he is the dead man of the boss.

There was a trumpet sound outside the palace gate, and the huge and heavy palace gate was violently slammed open, and the tidal wave of soldiers shouted and rushed in, like a landslide and tsunami, quickly drowning the remnants of thousands of rebels. The rebels were so demoralized that even the strength to resist was completely gone, and they threw their weapons to the ground, fell to their knees and surrendered.

"General, General! Palace Gate ...... The palace gate is lost! A subordinate general knelt in front of Zhao Hu in messy clothes and armor, and said urgently.

Zhao Hu glanced at the Qinwang soldiers who were approaching him densely, and smiled coldly: "So what? ”

After speaking, Zhao Hu helped Pan Shangshu and stepped into the Jinluan Hall without looking back.

The Jinluan Hall was still as solemn as ever, and inside the main hall, facing the door, was a golden dragon chair, empty, shining with dazzling golden light.

Pan Shangshu stubbornly pushed away Zhao Hu's support, stared at the dragon chair greedily and obsessively, let out an inaudible murmur in his mouth, and slowly walked towards the dragon chair step by step.

Zhao Hu silently knelt down respectfully behind Pan Shangshu, kowtowed to him three times, then stood up, and finally glanced at Pan Shangshu's old and stumbling back. He sighed to the sky, walked out of the temple with resolute steps.

Outside the gate of the main hall, countless soldiers of the Long Wu Army and the Long Xiang Army had surrounded the Jinluan Palace, and saw Zhao Hu come out. They raised their spears. Staring at him warily.

Zhao Hu swept his eyes coldly, all the rebels were either killed or surrendered, and now only he and Pan Shangshu were left.

Feng Qiudao and Han Dashi hugged Fang Zheng and walked in front of Zhao Hu separately.

Fang Zheng looked at Zhao Hu sympathetically. The culprit who almost killed him, somehow couldn't even hate him in the slightest. - Perhaps, he is more pitiful than Pan Shangshu.

"Zhao Hu, surrender. The tide is over, and you have failed. Fang Zheng's tone was as flat as talking about the weather.

Pan Shangshu trembled and walked to the dragon chair, stretched out his old withered hand, and stroked a lifelike carved golden dragon with teeth and claws on the armrest of the dragon chair, and the old hand trembled like chaff.

Looking at it, Pan Shangshu's cloudy eyes finally burst into tears, and he knelt in front of the dragon chair with a plop, crying silently.

Outside the hall, the footsteps of the soldiers were getting closer and closer. Zhao Hu's roar echoed outside the temple gate: "Death to those who trespass!" ”

Pan Shangshu grabbed the armrest of the dragon chair, stood up with difficulty, calmed down his excitement, straightened his messy clothes, and faced the palace door. Then he slowly sat down on the dragon chair. The moment he sat down, Pan Shangshu had a happy smile on his face, as if he had never been so happy in his life. The smile is fleeting, like a flash in the pan.

Trembling and outstretching out his hands. Pan Shangshu's eyes were confused, as if he saw the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty kneeling down to him three times and bowing nine times. The roaring mountain cry made him feel unprecedented satisfaction at this moment.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long liveβ€”"

Pan Shangshu was intoxicated by the illusion, trembling and stretching out his hands, a vain flat stroke, and a hoarse and old voice echoed in the empty hall: "Zhongqing...... Zhongqing is flat, haha, Zhongqing is flat......"

The soldiers outside the hall and Zhao Hu heard Pan Shangshu's voice, and their faces changed in unison.

Zhao Hu stopped at the door, smiled at everyone mockingly, and then shouted: "The emperor is in the early court, and hundreds of officials are lined up-"

Feng Qiudao shouted angrily: "Great rebellion! Kill! ”

Without hesitation, all the soldiers stabbed their spears out of their hands, and shouted in unison: "Kill!" ”

Zhao Hu did not resist at all, and let the spear poke at him. Blood gushed out from his body, nostrils, and mouth, Zhao Hu was still laughing, struggling and panting, and said intermittently and weakly: "There is a book...... There is a morning music, but there is no ...... Retreat ......"

"Kill!" Feng Qiudao shouted violently.

Countless spears poked at Zhao Hu's body mercilessly again, Zhao Hu's body twitched violently a few times, and finally fell to the ground softly, dying at the door of the Jinluan Palace.

"It's a man, let's bury him." Fang Zheng stared at Zhao Hu's corpse, and a sadness of the hero's end arose in his heart.

The soldiers found a piece of cloth, wrapped Zhao Hu's body, and carried it out. The general, who was in charge of tens of thousands of troops, bid farewell to the world in such a way.

Fang Zheng sighed and stepped into the Jinluan Hall with one foot, followed by a dense crowd of soldiers.

Pan Shangshu was still sitting on the dragon chair, his waist straight, and a satisfied smile on his face.

Fang Zheng frowned and shouted, "The surname is Pan, you hurry down, you are not qualified to sit on that chair!" ”

When Pan Shangshu heard this, his smile suddenly disappeared, his face became gloomy, and he said angrily: "Bold! I dare to say that I am not qualified to sit, I don't want to die! Samurai left and right, take this person down for me! Push it out and cut it! No, give him the Nine Clans! ”

Fang Zheng was stunned and said to Feng Qiudao: "Is this old thing crazy?" ”

Feng Qiudao shook his head expressionlessly.

Seeing this, Fang Zheng hurriedly called a shadow subordinate and ordered him to do this.

Pan Shangshu on the dragon chair looked a little hysterical, he slapped the armrest of the dragon chair vigorously, and said angrily: "Someone! Come! Why don't you take this man down? You, will you also rebel against me? ”

Fang Zheng ignored him, Fang Zheng really didn't bother to talk to him about such a madman. With a wave of his hand, the soldiers surrounded Pan Shangshu one after another.

"You, how dare you do this! How dare you rebel against me...... Hello guys! I won't let you get your way! Pan Shangshu was completely crazy, got up and walked to the back of the dragon chair, and out of nowhere he took out a jar of tung oil for ignition, held it high above his head, and the black thick tung oil was suddenly poured all over his body, and Pan Shangshu's whole person suddenly became a black and wet oil man.

The soldiers were startled and took a few steps back.

Ho! This old thing is still a mallet. Fang Zheng was happy, walked up to Pan Shangshu, and smiled at him.

Pan Shangshu took a step back in surprise and stammered, "You...... Don't come here, old man...... The old man and this hall will die together......"

Fang Zheng touched his chin, looked at him as if studying, and said after a while: "Hey, I said are you really crazy or fake crazy?" Sitting on the dragon chair, still calming down, pretending to be crazy and stupid, don't say, pretending to be quite similar......"

A little panic flashed in Pan Shangshu's eyes: "You...... Aren't you afraid that I will burn this Jinluan Palace? ”

"me! Believe it or not, I pumped you? Fang Zheng slapped hard, thought about it and put it down.

Then Fang Zheng smiled again, and smiled very happily: "Hey, look at your posture, do you want to set yourself on fire?" ”

Pan Shangshu nodded hesitantly.

"Call you stupid, you're really stupid to the end, the oil is poured on your body, what are you going to use to ignite the fire?"

"Use ...... What is the ignition used for? Pan Shangshu was stopped by this question, yes, at the end of the road, sacrificing his life to die, what a tragic and passionate moment...... But what is the ignition?

Pan Shangshu looked left and right, it was already daytime at this time, the palace lamp hanging on the roof of the hall had long been extinguished, and the soldiers had no torches in their hands.

"Use the fire to fold." Fang Zheng kindly reminded.

"Yes, yes...... The fire fold ...... "Pan Shangshu trembled and groped on himself......

Long.

Pan Shangshu raised his head with a sad face and looked at Fang Zheng sadly.

"Forgot to bring it?" Fang Zheng asked sympathetically.

Pan Shangshu nodded, his expression was like a mournful exam.

"You're so unremembered!" Fang Zheng frowned and reproached.

Pan Shangshu hung his head and didn't say a word, like a child who made a mistake and was scolded by the teacher.

"You can die headbutt." Fang Zheng pointed to the jade steps in front of the dragon chair, and once again kindly offered Pan Shangshu suicide help.

Pan Shangshu pursed his lips, stared at the hard steps in a daze, and finally shook his head for a while, his eyes were full of despair and despair.

It turned out that this old thing was afraid of death, and he was pretending to be crazy and stupid just now, Fang Zheng smiled coldly on the side.

"Since you insist on this warm death, I'd better help you." Fang Zheng smiled and handed over a fire fold.

Pan Shangshu took the fire fold in a smile, looked up and saw Fang Zheng's eyes full of encouragement and expectation, Pan Shangshu smiled miserably, and waited to be burned.

"Wait!" With a loud roar, Fang Zheng stopped him in time, Pan Shangshu was so frightened that his hand shook, and the fire broke to the ground.

"You...... How are you staying? Pan Shangshu's eyes were full of horror when he looked at Fang Zheng, as if he was looking at an evil devil.

Fang Zheng smiled at him in a friendly manner, and then ordered loudly: "Come on, get me two iron forks, and fork a few fresh chicken wings on the iron forks......

Feng Qiudao was stunned and asked, "Brother Fang, what do you want to do?" ”

Fang Zheng pointed at Pan Shangshu with a smile, and then smiled at Feng Qiudao: "Are you hungry?" Craving barbecue chicken wings? Hehe, I'm in for a treat......"
