Chapter 206: The Fall of Xiao Liang (1)
In the Xiaoliang Palace in Jiangling, urgent documents and urgent reports continue to come from all over the place:
"Report! Li Tang, the king of Lujiang, had conquered Xiangyang, and Zhou Faming, the commander of the Jingzhou Naval Division, led his soldiers and the cities of Sizhou to surrender to the Tang army. They have led their troops south along the waterway of the Yangtze River, have conquered Anzhou, and the general Lei Changying surrendered to the Tang Dynasty with Lushan. Please let the emperor decide. β
"Probe!"
"Report! Li Jing, the deputy commander of the Li Tang army, has pacified the barbarian king Deng Shiluo, the Qin king Lei Shimeng has surrendered to Li Tang, Li Jing has conquered Yizhou, and now along the east of Bashu, he has conquered Yichang, Dangyang, Zhijiang, Songzi and other counties to 'force' Jiangling. Please ask the emperor to make a quick decision. β
"Got it, probe again!" After Xiao Mo heard these military information, his mood became even more irritable. Cen Wenwen persuaded on the side:
"Your Majesty, now that Li Tang is on the offensive fiercely, for the sake of me to think about the country, please ask the emperor to leave Beijing as soon as possible, so as to make a fool of yourself!"
"Everything! What's more, since I killed Dong Jingzhen and Zhang Xiu, these 'chaotic' ministers and thieves are all like them, they are all reversed, reversed! β
"Your Majesty, now we still have two lines of life." Now Xiao Miao's heart has no master, just like a person who has fallen into the water, even if it is a straw, he has to hold on, he grabbed Zeng Wen's clothes and shook it desperately:
"Say! Cen Aiqing, say it quickly! Cen Wenwen was stunned by Xiao Miao:
"The emperor, the emperor γγγγγγ" Xiao Mi realized that he had lost his temper.
"Ahh Cen Aiqing, I'm sorry, I'm out of shape! Say it! Cen Wenwen tidied up his clothes and appearance:
"First of all, please ask the emperor to leave Beijing as soon as possible and move the capital to Lingnan. Re-take the road of Zhao Tuo in the Qin Dynasty, where the mountains and rivers are far away, and now that the Central Plains is divided, Li Tang's hand cannot be stretched so far. You can be at peace for a while! After hearing this, Xiao Mo felt that something was wrong:
"Text! Although I used the imperial power to appease the people of Lingnan one by one and eradicate their diehard elements one by one, the leaders of the Lingnan barbarian tribes, Feng An, Li Guangdu, and Ning Changzhen, were all rebellious, and I was very worriedγγγγγγγ "Back then, Xiao Mo wanted to cut off the authority of the generals, but he didn't want to be a puppet in name only, so no matter how publicized Dong Jingzhen, Zhang Xiu and others were, they were also Han people in the Central Plains, and if he let a group of barbarians point fingers in front of him, his heart would be even more uncomfortable. After listening to Xiao Miao's concerns, Cen Wenwen sighed in his heart:
"Your Majesty, there is also to ask Jiangnan Du Fuwei for help, his deputy Fu Gongtuo is greedy, as long as he sends more gold and silver, it is very important, if Li Tang attacks us, the next step will be to attack them. I believe they will not sit idly by. When Xiao Mo heard this, he immediately held Cen Wenwen's hand and said:
"Good! Text, this matter will be 'handed over' to you, I immediately issued an order, open the treasury, part of which I used to reward the three armies, so that the three armies would defend the capital, and the other part would be 'paid' by Aiqing to go to Jiangnan to 'spend' the fee, and directly told Du Fuwei and Fu Gongtuo that as long as they send troops to help me, it will be compensation from all over the country, and I will pay tribute every year, and I will not hesitate to do it! β
"The minister will definitely do this!" Cen Wenwen was about to get up and leave, when a military report shattered Xiao Miao's last illusion.
"Your Majesty, Jiangnan Fugongtuo heard that Li Tang attacked our dynasty, in the name of leading troops to help, has broken through Danyang, and extended the river and waterway to the west, and Li Tang has become a two-sided attack, please make a quick decision!" When Xiao Mo heard the news, he trembled, and said to himself greedily:
"It's over! Now it's really over! Cen Wenwen was still grateful to Xiao Mo for his kindness, and continued to persuade Xiao Mi:
", Your Majesty, please read the importance of the Jiangshan Sheji, leave the capital quickly, and let the city not go! Your Majesty, make a decree quickly! Immediately afterwards, Xiao Miao's queens, concubines, princes, and princesses also ran in front of Xiao Miao:
"Your Majesty, Li Tang and Du Fuwei's army has already arrived in the city, Your Majesty, what should we do?"
"Yes! Your Majesty, what should we do? β
"Father! What are we going to do? Xiao Mo pulled out his sword, and those queens, concubines, princesses and princes looked at Xiao Miao, and their hearts were very flustered:
"Your Majesty, what are you going to do?"
"Father! What are you doing? "These 'women' and children kneeling in front of him, they (they) looked frightened one by one, and his heart was also very sad, looking at the beauties who had spent a good time with him, and the sons and daughters who had been happy under his knees:
"Let's go! I am very virtuous, God does not bless me, and I am not like a burden to you, give an order! Everyone in the palace is waiting, everyone who can escape has fled! As soon as Xiao Miao's words fell, the men and women in the hall immediately ran away, and Xiao Mi saw that Cen Wenwen did not leave:
"Text, you go too!" Cen Wenwen sighed in his heart, knelt down to Xiao Miao, and kowtowed:
"Your Majesty! Text: Thank you, Your Majesty! After speaking, he also walked out of the hall. Xiao Mo staggered towards the Taimiao, full of panicked 'chaotic' running eunuchs, palace 'women' and robbing things' of the 'chaotic' army, no one paid attention to his existence, Xiao Milling came to his father's ancestral spiritual seat - great-grandfather: Xiliang Xuan Emperor Xiao Jing's spiritual seat, grandfather: Anping Zhonglie King Xiao Yan's spiritual seat, father: Anping Wenxian King Xiao Xuan's spiritual seat. Xiao Mo knelt in front of their spiritual seats, recalling the scene when he worshiped his ancestors, and the glory and the ministers and people shouted long live:
"Unfilial descendants Xiao Milling to meet the emperors, to meet the ancestors, the minister wanted to restore my Liang Dynasty ancestral industry, who knows that God will not bless me, so that the emperor's industry is like a flash in the pan, today, the minister will go underground to ask the ancestors for sin, to ask for guilt from his father and grandfather!" After speaking, Xiao Mo set the entire temple on fire, watching the fire get bigger and bigger, Xiao Mo wiped his neck with the sword in his hand, as if he saw his father and ancestor beckoning to him in a splendid palace.
"Father, grandfather, the unfilial son Xiao Mo is here to accompany you." The fire buried Liang Chaotaimiao and Xiao Miao.
