Chapter 046: The palace fire, the civil strife of the Guardians
――
A sudden and bizarre palace fire that takes place at night!
This is Wei Zheng's golden cicada shelling strategy, and at this moment, Wei Zheng is already heading towards the Qi country in the east of the country. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Just as Wei Zheng walked out of Chaoge City, Meng Ben returned to the palace with a team of people inside and outside, and set fire to the palace of the country, and everyone did not expect that there would be a fire in the most heavily guarded place of the country.
Except for the ghosts inside, it is impossible for outsiders to get their hands on it, but what everyone can't imagine is that the person who ordered the arson is the monarch of the country, and without Wei Zheng behind the scenes, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to know about the burning of the palace of the country.
Wei Zheng himself "died" in this fire, and he can also get rid of the suspicion that it was Wei Zheng, and he would not believe it to anyone, Wei Zheng would burn himself to death, and someone must have framed him.
Kill the king!
When you think about it, it's scary!
The plan of the golden cicada to get out of its shell was successfully implemented.
However, this strategy has a price, in the dead of night in the palace, a fire broke out, innocent people were no longer a few, and no one in the palace survived.
Meng Ben and the others retreated immediately after the successful arson, and at the same time killed the guards who were originally dredged, these people are innocent and act on orders, but these people will die, not die, the plan will inevitably go wrong, and it may fall short at that time.
Their fate was already doomed from the moment they participated in this plan and were in it, and the death of these people was just the beginning, a harbinger of the imminent centralized purge of the patriotic government and the opposition, and destined to be bloody.
"It's a big deal! Zuo Situ - ! "It's a big deal!"
The palace fire has illuminated the Chaoge City several times, and it can no longer hide from anyone, and everyone who sees this scene has a tragic change in their faces.
In the middle of the night, Sun Gu's retainers crawled all the way, and in a panic, Sun Gu woke up in the middle of the night.
"What's the fluster, what's the system?" Sun Gu, who was hastily dressed in clothes, looked extremely unhappy, and the sleepiness on his face was still a little bit.
The retainer immediately knelt on the ground and trembled: "Go back to Zuo Situ-!" A fire broke out in the palace, almost illuminating the capital city of Chaoge! ”
After brushing it, Sun Gu stood up suddenly, motionless like a wood carving, staring at his retainers with his eyes, and said sharply: "What did you say?" ”
"Back to Zuo Situ-!" The retainer swallowed forcefully, and said inarticulately: "The palace suddenly... Suddenly... Blaze the ...... The fire spread to the palace mansion, and there was no ...... Can't stop it, Jun ...... Princely ...... The prince ...... him"
“…… I'm afraid it's a death (mò)-! The retainer who said this seemed to be paralyzed.
"The prince is dead...... Sun Gu muttered to himself with blank eyes, his steps trembled and kept retreating, and the whole person almost fainted, if it weren't for the retainer's quick eyes and hands suddenly burst out of his potential instinct to stand up and hold him up, Sun Gu was afraid that he would have to fall to the ground with his head up.
As soon as the retainers helped him up, Sun Gu tried his best to say loudly: "Defending the country is in danger!" Defending the country is in danger! ”
Sun Gu is not an insightless person, he knows very well that once the news reaches the world, he is afraid that the Wei State in the west will learn that Wei Zheng was buried in the fire, and he will definitely move his army eastward as quickly as possible when the Wei Kingdom is in turmoil. The current Wei State and the Liang State (Wei State) have just formed a feud, and the old Wei King is categorically impossible to let go of such a God-given opportunity.
Defending the country will die, the nobles who will defend the country will also die, and he Sun Gu will die if he does not die. This is not a sad defense, but a great calamity that has affected his own body.
And that's just one of them, why did the fire burn down the court? Could it be that someone killed the king?
Wei Zheng died, who benefited the most?
It's scary to think about it!
Sun Gu felt a chill in his heart, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
……
Fighter Battalion.
Under the moonlit night, Bai Qi did not fall asleep, but stood on a high stone platform and looked at the direction of the Song Capital City, at this moment, under the moonlit night, the fire illuminated the capital, and Bai Qi outside the tent of the new army could see the firelight scene in the direction of the capital in the night.
Bai Qi didn't stay long, and when he returned to the camp, he immediately ordered the scouts to rush to the capital to ask what was going on.
In fact, he naturally knew what was going on, but sending scouts to do so was for the follow-up actions and the performance they should have at this moment, all of which had been discussed in advance with Wei Zheng.
A fire burned for two days and two nights before it was extinguished, and there was nothing left, and no one survived.
And Wei Zheng was nowhere to be found, and the hearts of all the people who witnessed this scene sank, and they all knew that a great disaster had happened to Weiguo.
The ministers led by Sun Gu stood under the ruins one after another, and the staggering Puyang Jun still had such a high-spirited time some time ago.
"Report!"
"Qi Qi Puyang Jun, the general of the fighter battalion will report to General Bai!" As soon as the spy who came to report said this, Sun Gu was shocked, and hurriedly said, "Bai Qi? Something happened to the New Army battalion? ”
At this moment, Sun Gu was obviously a little panicked, was this a sign of civil strife? The relationship between the new army commander Bai Qi and the prince Sun Gu is very clear, Wei Zheng was killed in this fire, and the bones are not left, if Bai Qi loses his mind and kills with an army of nearly 10,000 people, and then there is the Liang State in the west, the internal and external difficulties, the Wei Kingdom will really die!
"Back to Puyangjun, General Bai said that the palace of the Patriotic State is on fire, and at the moment of the country's survival, the enemy Wei Liang will inevitably take advantage of the weakness of the Patriotic State to attack with thunder, and General Bai has now commanded the new army to pull out the camp and go straight to Pingyang and garrison at Suxukou, so as to defend the Wei State and disturb our country when I am in internal trouble!"
As soon as these words came out, Sun Gu was greatly surprised, and at this moment, the scout of the Bai Qi New Army said again: "General Bai still said-! ”
"Speak quickly!" Sun Gu hurriedly said, and had a rough conclusion about Bai Qi in his heart, that is, he thought that this person also had the heart to chase fame, was this a sign of loyalty?
Such a great good ear!
General Bai said that the enemy army is large, and our new army is outnumbered and afraid that it will be difficult to resist the enemy, so he asked General Sima to send half of his troops to rush to the aid of Suxukou, and the rest of the army to protect Chaoge to deter Xiaoxiao. General Bai also said, please Puyang Jun must thoroughly investigate the arson case and hate for the prince! ”
"Good good !!" Sun Gu was overjoyed when he heard it, he thought it was a rebellious soldier, but he didn't expect the situation to be like this, it seems that this Bai Qi is a material that can be made, and when this matter is over, he must be recruited over, if he has a meritorious heart, it is very good, and the old man can give you a meritorious name.
"General Ning, quickly dispatch troops to help General Bai!" Sun Gu immediately ordered, now there is no monarch in the country, Puyang Jun Sun Gu, and the regent Zuo Situ Sun Gu's prestige is unmatched.
"General Ning, remember to stabilize Bai Qi, stabilize the border, Bai Qi is highly praised by the prince and marquis, he is a general, we will immediately work together to stabilize the internal situation, the country cannot be without a king for a day-!" Speaking of this, Sun Gu immediately added, "What about the Gong Clan? ”
Sun Gu also knew that if Ning Yuan was asked to lead the army at this time, he would definitely not agree. Ning Yuan was also very willing, if Sun Gu ordered him to personally send troops to defend against the enemy, at this critical moment when the situation of the government and the opposition was upright and unpredictable, it was very likely that there would be no place for the Ning clan, and it was imperative to support a new monarch, how could such a situation leave.
In such a critical situation, the Qing clan of the Wei Kingdom began to fight their own Xiao Jiujiu, and it is no wonder that Wei Zheng is eager to eradicate it immediately.
However, these Qing clans who began to fight for power and profit as soon as they heard about the death of the prince and marquis did not know that they had jumped into Wei Zheng's pit, and they did not expect that at this time, they would really divide half of their military strength to control Bai Qi, which was really unexpected by Wei Zheng, and they still looked down on this group of Qing clans who were fighting for power and were consumed.
In such a critical situation, we still do not know that a firm grasp of military power is the foundation of everything, which shows that we have been lost in the abyss of power and interest competition and cannot extricate ourselves.
Anyone who supports the new monarch and the nobles of Shiqing, when Wei Zheng returns with the army and righteousness, it is the time when they die and the clan is wiped out.
Especially the old nobles and old forces of the Qing clan such as the Sun clan headed by Sun Gu.
