Chapter 697: The Hatred of the Prince
Xu Congyang and other officials were even more shocked when they saw this scene, and the emperor had already frowned, at this time the Xuanzhen Dao Sect had already come to the emperor's side, and when he saw this scene, he finally said loudly: "Come on, take down this gang of rebels." ”
Tongtian Hall is the emperor's monastery place, so the officers and soldiers accompanying the escort did not enter the Tongtian Palace, only Xuanyuan Shao and a few subordinates followed the escort.
The guards who came with the emperor are still outside the Tongtian Palace.
In this Tongtian Palace, in addition to the hundred officials, the others are all Taoists, except for some of the palace Taoists who came with the Xuanzhen Taoist Sect, to carry out the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, in this Tongtian Palace, there are dozens of Taoist priests on standby, but their role is only to serve and entertain the hundred officials who came to worship the sky, but more than 40 people, scattered around the hundred officials, when the Xuanzhen Taoist Sect gave an order, half of the Taoist priests rushed forward.
Taoist priests are also human beings, but also flesh and blood, Xuanzhen Taoist Sect was given the title of the head of Taoism, that is, their supreme leader, Xuanzhen Taoist Sect gave an order, but these Taoist priests also felt that the opportunity to be rewarded for meritorious service came, where would they let go, one by one rushed forward, suddenly heard a scream, everyone followed the sound, only to see a Taoist priest only ran out of two steps, but suddenly lying on the ground, dripping with blood, next to him was a Taoist priest holding a dagger, his face was hideous, and the dagger was stained with blood.
There was more than one scream, only to hear the screams in all directions, and those Taoist priests who had rushed towards Huang Ju fell to the ground one after another in almost a short period of time, and the ones who shot and killed them were all Taoist priests wearing the same Taoist robes.
Baiguan was even more surprised, at this time some people already understood, these Taoist priests, but there are many people who entered in disguise, those Taoist priests who shot to kill their companions, quick movements, ruthless, brisk, more than forty Taoist priests, in the blink of an eye, nearly half of them fell in a pool of blood, Taoist priests have already shouted: "Protect An Guogong, kill the faint king!" ”
A group of Taoist priests have rushed into the Baiguan seat with great momentum, holding blood-drenched daggers in their hands, seeing this, many people are already as pale as earth, dodging in panic, Chu Huan's expression in the crowd is cold, he is still some distance away from Huang Ju at this time, seeing the two Taoist priests in front of him passing, if he makes a move at this time, it is not a problem to restrain a Taoist priest, but at this moment the situation is not clear, Chu Huan does not know how many Huang Ju's manpower is still in Tongtian Palace, but he did not act rashly.
At this time, there were already more than a dozen officials guarding An Guogong's side, and a group of Taoist priests with daggers guarding the side, but the officials were in a hurry to easily approach Huang Ju at this time.
Huang Ju's expression was calm, standing in the crowd, caressing his beard, seeing that His Majesty the Emperor's face on the high platform was very unsightly, and the corners of his mouth suddenly flashed with a smile, but at this time, he saw that Xue Huai'an had come to the side of the high platform tremblingly, and when he saw the scene under the stage, Xue Huai'an's expression was frightened, his body suddenly shook, and he lost his voice: "It's not good......!" ”
The emperor frowned, turned his head and glanced at him coldly, and Xue Huai'an immediately said, "Holy Lord, Wu Jingwei...... If the big thing is not good, Wu Jingwei is arranged not far from the Tongtian Palace. ”
"Outside the Temple of Heaven?" The Emperor frowned.
Xue Huai'an said in a panic: "In order to ensure the safety of the saint, yesterday Huang Tiandu had already mobilized a team of martial guards to deploy on the north side of the Tongtian Hall in advance, claiming that it was to protect the safety of the saint. ”
"Oh no......!" At this moment, a figure rushed to the outside of the square, shouting: "There is an army...... They are going to rebel ......! The man ran out of the way, fell to the ground with a sudden head, and struggled twice without moving, but there were several sharp arrows stuck in his back.
At this moment, the ministers had already heard the rumbling sound, and they were shocked to find that not only the white marble avenue between the two rivers, but also from other directions, there were also bursts of horses' hooves.
On the white marble avenue, a team of soldiers and horses were like wolves and tigers, and the sky was already dark at this time, and some of the soldiers and horses who came had already raised torches.
That group of soldiers and horses, the armor is distinct, it is the armor of Wu Jingwei, the first one person floated up, the tiger back and the bear's waist, behind him there were no less than five or six hundred soldiers and horses, crowded with white marble avenue, like wolves and tigers, they held knives and guns, iron horses and gold ge, and quickly came to the square.
Between the panic of the ministers, the other directions of the white marble platform, there was also the light of the torches, and then the Wujing guards and horses appeared, and the men and horses of Wujing Wei had dispersed, surrounded in a fan shape, and the ministers were all shocked, this Tongtian Temple forbade soldiers and horses to enter, even the guards around the emperor could not enter, at this time, a large number of soldiers and horses raised swords and guns to enter, which was naturally a rebellion.
At this moment, many officials who were still confused finally came to their senses.
Previously, when everyone saw An Guogong Huang Ju's generosity, many people even felt that An Guogong was scolding the emperor with death, and some people even admired An Guogong in their hearts.
Knowing that the changes were continuous, everyone understood that An Guogong had been prepared for a long time, and he was really going to rebel.
Wu Jingwei's commander is Huang Tiandu, Huang Tiandu is the son of Huang Ju, and now Wu Jingwei's soldiers and horses have rushed into the Tongtian Palace, everything needs no more explanation, the Huang family has been reversed.
The surrounding soldiers and horses pounced like wolves and tigers, forming an encirclement, Huang Tiandu had already raised his hand and raised his sword, and shouted: "Everyone don't move, the sword has no eyes, if anyone acts rashly and dies under the sword, he will not be responsible!" ”
The faces of many ministers were very ugly, and Shen Keqiu, the imperial envoy of the right capital, looked at Huang Ju and said sharply: "Huang Ju, you are really the opposite, you chaotic ministers and thieves, heaven does not tolerate ......!" ”
Huang Ju sneered: "Tianli? The old man is against the principles of heaven. ”
The emperor witnessed the changes in the Tongtian Temple on the high platform, still carrying his hands behind his back, the torches squeaked in all directions, the night wind blew, and the corners of the emperor's robe were also fluttering with the wind, he looked at Huang Ju under the stage, and finally said: "Huang Ju, it seems that you really don't want to live!" ”
Huang Ju shook his head and said: "You are wrong, it is the old man who wants to live, so he does this, if the old man does not do this, not only will he not be able to live, but he will also not be able to live." ”
The emperor sneered, "What do you mean by that? ”
"You know better than anyone what you mean." Huang Ju said lightly: "From the day you handed over the household to the old man, maybe you thought about taking the old man's life in your heart, but you have to put on a layer of clothes for yourself, so you don't dare to act rashly." The old man has never had any objections, you have a good saying, the old man likes money, but if it wasn't for the old man's money, why did you Yingyuan ascend to the throne? The old man has a little property, but that's what you owed me at the beginning. The old man's family is benevolent and righteous to you, and can be regarded as loyal to the country, but how can you treat my Huang family? ”
Xu Congyang couldn't help but say, "Isn't the Holy Lord treating your Huang family kindly?" Your Huang family was nothing more than a wealthy family in Anyi at the beginning, but now that the wealth is rivaling the country, don't you know that your Huang family embezzled and took bribes, and you also know how thick the excerpt of impeachment of your An Guogong is, but the saint is old and you Huang family have always been distracted, and you are still not satisfied? There are only two princesses in the saint, but one princess is promised to your Huang family, so long, isn't it thick? You An Guogong is an important member of the province, and is also in charge of the household department, Huang Tiandu was even given the title of commander of Wu Jingwei, responsible for the safety of Beijing, if your hometown is Anyi, your Huang family's power and wealth over there, you yourself know better than anyone else. The Holy Lord treats your Huang family so well, but in exchange for your Huang family's rebellion? ”
An Guogong shook his head calmly and said: "Master Xu, you are also a person who is full of wealth, others can't see his hypocrisy, can't you see it?" Marrying a princess, the world thinks it is the emperor's grace, but Her Royal Highness the princess, with a rude temperament, not to mention, the servants around her are all monitoring my Huang family's eyeliner, do you know, since the princess arrived at our Huang family, our Huang family's neck seems to have a knife, and the old man has to keep his eyes open when he sleeps in the middle of the night. The old man worked hard to make him cattle and horses, but in exchange for his suspicion and surveillance. ”
"If you don't do bad things, what are you afraid of?" The emperor said lightly: "Is there anything you don't see that I am afraid of me?" ”
An Guogong laughed and said: "If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse, since you have suspicion of the old man, even if the old man keeps to himself, how can you tolerate the old man?" He showed a hint of annoyance in his eyes and stared at the emperor, "You only know that the old man controls the finances of the empire, but think about it yourself, if there is no old man, you can really build this Tongtian Palace?" After the original war, it withered, it wasn't for the old man who took them to work hard, why did Daqin prosper? When you become an emperor, you live in a splendid palace, waving your hand is to quell the chaos, raising your feet is to build, what drought and flood, haven't you thought about it, which one of these does not need silver? Without the painstaking efforts of the old man and the household officials, why should the country and the people be safe? He obviously had a stomach full of words, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, "If it's just for state affairs, then it's okay, the old man smashed me to sell iron and get silver, but you love the demon way, obsessed with the Tao, and also aim to build the Taoist temple in all the provinces of the country, and here is a huge amount of money to build the Tongtian Temple, you only know that this palace is gorgeous and magnificent, but do you know how much silver this palace costed?" If there was no palace, that silver would be enough for the northwest to have countless money and grain to resist the Xiliang people. The whole household, for your cultivation and alchemy, for your dream of eternal life, exhausted your efforts, but you are pressing step by step, you are planting nails in the household, disturbing the household, and looking for an opportunity to clear the household, isn't your purpose to deal with the old man? ”
The emperor said lightly: "It seems that you have a lot of resentment towards me. ”
"The old man doesn't resent you, but the old man must not sit back and watch you fool around and ruin the good country." An Guogong said in a deep voice: "Yingyuan, you retreat!" ”
