CHAPTER XIX
Chen Ping is the main battle, and Li Cheng is the main battle. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lin Yao hesitated a little, his gaze wandering between Chen Ping and Li Cheng.
Of course, eunuchs can't be killed. After many years of operation, a delicate balance has been established in the government, and eunuchs are also a very important part of it. If Wu Zhu, the Yang family, and the eunuchs are eradicated together, then the direct consequence will be that the court is empty, and Lin Yao, who has lost his buffer, will directly confront the celebrities of the world, and many people who are eyeing him will find a good time to make a move. In other words, he used his life to make a wedding garment for others.
But what Li Cheng said is right, if you leave the eunuch party, you will inevitably have endless troubles. It's just that...... You can't eradicate it now, otherwise the world will be powerful and unfavorable to you.
Seeing Lin Yao's hesitation, he also took a step forward and knelt on one knee. "Although the kid is not a person in the army, he also knows etiquette, loyalty and filial piety, and should solve problems for the general. If the general is willing to believe in the kid, he will also be willing to borrow 1,000 elite soldiers, and be the vanguard with Captain Li, be sure to eradicate the traitors and protect the safety of the new emperor and queen! ”
"Good! Mr. righteousness, for my Chu Guo Kuang Fu Sheji! When Lin Yao heard Yijiang's words, his eyes lit up and he laughed.
It's a beautiful play on words.
Whether the eunuch is killed or not, and how to deal with it in the future, in fact, it is not up to Li Cheng or Chen Ping to control. If he would also get the news of the eunuch's innocence from the new emperor first, then even Li Cheng would not be able to go his own way.
This is not tantamount to a big gamble, betting on who the first minister of Dachu will be.
He also lowered his eyes, confidently took the talisman handed by Lin Yao, and retreated with Li Cheng.
After counting the soldiers and horses, led by the two of them, Lin Yao and other ministers pressed the formation, and rushed to the inner city of Luoyang with a large army.
In fact, it was not so much a large army, but it was less than 10,000 men, but it seemed crowded in the inner city.
Standing under the city gate, he also quietly stared at the tall city gate, as if he could see through the glorious history of Chu for more than 500 years.
After nearly 500 years, the inner city of Chu is magnificent. Several large halls rise from the ground, and even through the city walls, you can see gilded tiles and tall pavilions.
But today, this thousand-year-old foundation created by Xiang Yu is just showing the tranquility before the storm is coming.
Li Cheng, who was wearing armor, took a step forward on his horse and shouted loudly at the city. "The traitor Wu stopped falsely spreading the news of Long Live Death and rebelled, and the two princes were in danger. We were ordered by the general to enter the palace to capture the thief and protect the safety of my young master. If there is any obstruction, it will be regarded as a crime of rebellion, and it should be punished without forgiveness! ”
He also asked Lin Yao with his eyes, and then urged the horse to take half a step forward and come to Li Cheng's side.
"The generals don't know about the rebellion of the traitors, please open the door quickly, and don't help the abuse. Remember that everyone who does not know the truth, those who surrender will not be blamed for the past, and they will be rewarded for their meritorious deeds! ”
The soldiers guarding the gate of the inner palace were already frightened when they saw the mighty 'rebellious' army, and they looked at each other.
Li Cheng waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him walked up directly with bows and arrows and engineering hammers.
Seeing this scene, the people on the city wall were so frightened that their legs weakened, and they immediately threw down their weapons and opened the inner city gate from the inside.
"I don't know that the traitor is bold, and I am willing to help the general enter the palace to capture the thief." The Praetorian Guards knelt down at the door.
Li Cheng was silent for a moment. He was just about to brew an impassioned rhetoric to boost the morale of the army, but he didn't expect a punch to hit the cotton, and the other party opened the door directly without thinking about it, so he could only awkwardly twist the thief Ling Shengsheng into a pacification order.
"Where is the traitor now?" He also walked up from Li Cheng's side and directly found the captain and asked.
He was not at all surprised by the Praetorian Guard's knowledge of the times. The Luoyang Praetorian Guard is only more than 1,000 people, and they stick to the palace, once they are surrounded, they don't even have supplies, and they have to put up the name of the rebel and the nine clans. As long as there is an opportunity, how can anyone not surrender quickly.
"Back to the general, marshal...... The traitor Wu Zhu is now concentrating the nobles in the palace on the Qinglong Hall in the name of protection. The captain didn't dare to raise his head, and he hurried to say whatever he knew.
The Qinglong Hall is also the place where the ordinary ministers go to the court to discuss matters, and Li Chenghe will also glance at each other.
With Lin Yao's acquiescence, Li Cheng waved his hand and led five thousand sergeants all the way to the road, and killed in front of the main hall without any obstacles.
Wu Zhu arranged a lot of forbidden troops to guard him all the way from the palace gate to the front of the palace. But these forbidden soldiers are not stupid people, even if they don't believe Lin Yao, they have to give face to the important ministers who came with Lin Yao.
The people who originally belonged to Wu Zhu's side knew that the general trend had gone, and those who were not on Wu's side knew that they were being used, so they all simply abandoned their armor and surrendered.
When Lin Yao walked into the main hall with his ministers, he saw a coffin painted with solid gold.
'It's worthy of the emperor, even the coffin is the highest, at first glance I thought it was a treasure chest. He silently swallowed back the belly of his mouth, and his eyes swept over the people in the temple.
In the main hall, in addition to the palace maids, eunuchs and guards, only two women and a boy under ten years old gathered around the coffin.
"I've seen the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother." He will also follow Li Cheng to salute.
The Queen Mother naturally refers to the first emperor's mother, Yang, and the queen refers to Lin Yao's sister Lin Yuji.
Yang was not the first emperor's biological mother, but his aunt. But when you count your age, you are also in your seventies, and you only look like you are forty, and you don't have any gray hair at all. Queen Lin beside her looks even more glamorous, and it is not an exaggeration to let the little boy in her arms call her a sister.
Of course, he also knew in his heart that the little boy was probably the eldest son of Empress Lin.
They will also raise their heads. The expressions of several eunuchs were all submissive, and they didn't dare to step forward when they saw that Lin Yao was just asking for peace, this attitude was obviously not the five old eunuchs who were close to the first emperor. At this time, Wu Zhu was not at the scene......
He frowned suddenly, a little puzzled in his heart.
Why did all the important people who could be hostages stay in the Blue Dragon Palace, but Wu Zhu and Yang Jing themselves were nowhere to be found?
Could it be that seeing a change in opportunity, he retreated with Xiang Ning first?
Wrong!
Xiang Ning is obviously much better to follow the Empress Dowager Yang than to follow the two defeated dogs, and the only explanation is that the other party still has a backhand.
He also had doubts in his heart and walked to the coffin with his feet up.
"Bold! Who is the thief, dare to be disrespectful to the first emperor, and if someone doesn't come to take it down for me quickly! Empress Dowager Yang was furious when she saw Yijiang's actions and exclaimed.
It seems that I really guessed correctly.
also hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, bypassed the person next to the coffin, and pushed open the lid of the coffin.
