Chapter 0127: The Great Hall
Surrounded by a forest of swords and guns, Lu Fei rode a high-headed white horse and slowly walked into the Xuanyou Gate, close to the eyes, corpses are all over the place, and the royal forest army can be seen everywhere under the tall palaces in front of him in the dying struggle, I have to say that these people are still loyal martyrs, almost to the last soldier, but the combat effectiveness is really not comparable to the Japanese army. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The white horse stepped through layers of corpses, many of which were palace maids who died in chaos, and the battlefield was much more tragic than that of Nangong City.
Cao Keming ran to Lu Fei covered in blood, pointed ahead and said, "Big brother, the Dog Emperor took all the civil and military officials to hide in the Jiying Palace. ”
Lu Fei nodded and said, "Step up to clean up the remnants of the enemy, remember, you are not allowed to disturb the harem." ”
The Japanese offensive was tight for a while, and the army advanced rapidly, leaving only piles of corpses behind them, and more than 100 remaining Imperial Forest soldiers fought and retreated, and had retreated to the outside of the Jiying Palace, but no one has surrendered until now.
In front of him is already the magnificent Jiying Palace, thinking that not long ago Lu Fei was still here to prostrate against Zhao Jiong, people are not as good as the sky, and today Zhao Jiong is at the end of his rope.
The long white marble steps were full of corpses, blood and water pooled into a trickle, dripping down the steps, thick and fishy, two rows of soldiers were lined up on the left and right of the steps, Lu Fei held a sword in one hand, and the dragon-shaped pattern in the middle of the foot stepped up step by step, followed by the white lady and fifty personal soldiers.
The gate of the Jiying Hall was closed, and the battle was still going on in the wide square in front of the hall.
"Stop!" Lu Fei held the Mo knife high and shouted.
In the fierce battle, the two sides retreated and held each other, and dozens of scarred Imperial Forest soldiers lined up in front of Lu Fei with their backs to the gate of Jiying Palace, glaring angrily one by one.
Lu Fei pointed forward and said, "Zhao Jiong's defeat has been decided, why do you bother to make useless resistance, lay down your weapons, and spare you from dying!" ”
Cao Keming immediately waved his hand, and hundreds of archers quickly poured out behind him, pulling their bows and arrows.
A bloody man walked out of the Imperial Forest Army in front, and the bloody war knife in his hand pointed at Lu Fei and said: "The rebellious ministers and thieves also dare to make waves, if they want to enter the palace, they will step over us!" ”
Lu Fei snorted and smiled, and said: "The mantis arm is a car, I don't think I can do anything, I have come in the huge palace, I think you are loyal, I don't embarrass you, dodge!" ”
"Haha!" The general had no fear on his face, laughed loudly, looked back at the few remaining brothers, and said: "Brothers, the matter of eating the king, the matter of loyalty to the king, we are deeply favored by the emperor, born as a minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and died as a great ghost of the Great Song Dynasty, I would rather die than surrender, long live the Great Song Dynasty, long live the official family!" With that, the big knife swiped on his neck, and blood splattered on the spot.
Immediately, all the remnants of the soldiers in front of the hall shouted "Long live the Great Song Dynasty, I would rather die than surrender" and committed suicide on the spot, and the scene was spectacular and tragic.
Lu Fei nodded and said: "It is worthy of being the close attendant of the Son of Heaven, and he is loyal to his duties, Cao Keming." ”
"Big brother!"
"Clean up the battlefield, bury these 800 Imperial Forest Army with a generous funeral, sympathize with their families, let the Japanese army withdraw from the Xuanyou Gate, and fortify the gates of the Imperial City, without my warrant, not a single bird will be released."
"No!"
Lu Fei looked at Kou Zhun again and said, "Kou Zhun!" ”
"Lord!"
Lu Fei said: "Send you a thousand sergeants, go to my mansion, and escort the Tang Dynasty Empress into the palace to govern." ”
"No!" Kou Zhun was overjoyed and retired.
At this moment, a team of eunuchs rushed under the steps, and the leader was Wang Jien.
Lu Fei hurriedly smiled and greeted: "The king's servant, thank you for the reception, and you will be rewarded for your meritorious deeds afterwards, you have made great contributions, please, follow me into the palace!" ”
Wang Jien looked angry, he was not a person who was afraid of death, and said eagerly: "General Lu, what do you mean?" Why did I hear that some people in the army were shouting against Song and Tang Dynasty, didn't we say okay, this is the Great Zhou Dynasty, you give our family an explanation! ”
Lu Fei pretended to be stunned and said, "We talked about it?" If you don't remember, you must be misremembering. With that, he raised his sword and shouted, "Brothers, what are we born and died for?" ”
The generals shouted: "Datang is mighty, long live Datang!" ”
Wang Jien's old face turned the color of pig liver, and he said angrily: "General Lu, you, you are playing the old man?" Can you get into the inner city so easily without me? ”
Lu Fei's face sank, and he pulled him closer, and said: "You listen to me, Lao Tzu is a minister of the Tang Kingdom, not a member of your Zhou Dynasty, if you want to save your old life, forget about it, there are enough people who died today, and you are defenseless!" ”
"You, you!" Wang Jien's face was pale, he was trembling with anger, and he was stunned for a long time and had to retreat.
The three floors outside the hall and the outer three floors were all full of people who were praising the Japanese army, Lu Fei waved his hand and said, "Come on, knock open the temple door!" ”
The pro-soldiers had to rush up, and at the moment when the temple door was opened, more than a dozen sharp arrows were shot out of the hall in an instant, and immediately several pro-soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, but these resistances were useless, and more soldiers rushed in quickly, slashing and killing, only to frighten those scholars and officials to shrink to the corner.
Within a moment, the remnants of the enemy in the hall had been cleaned up, and the corpses had been carried out one by one, Lu Fei had tidied up his clothes and armor and walked in slowly, and all the soldiers followed closely behind, surrounding this group of scattered officials in the hall.
Lu Fei walked unhurriedly among the hundreds of officials, one of the people here is considered to be an official who is all in power, but at this moment they are all lambs to the slaughter.
At this time, a person came from outside the hall, it was Zhang Jiang, who came to Lu Fei's side and whispered: "Big brother, all the palace gates have been guarded by troops, and the treasury is safe, there is news outside the city, the two armies of Shenwei and Longwei have come towards Bianliang, and the forward is already very close, and the guards of the nine gates of our outer city are insufficient, I'm afraid we can't stop it." ”
Lu Fei nodded, immediately walked up to the dragon case in the palace, and arched his hand: "Everyone, the Zhao family's son of heaven is a virtuous person, causing the forbidden army to mutiny, attracting the spurning of the people, under the trust of the audience, for the heavens, the revival of the Tang Dynasty, you are all capable ministers of the world, this great cause of reviving the Tang Dynasty also hopes that you will work together." ”
The palace was silent, especially the privy envoy Cao Bin, who had been worried since he heard that Lu Fei led people to break through the imperial city, and he would have shrunk among the hundreds of officials and did not dare to raise his head.
At the side door of the hall, the white lady and a group of soldiers walked out and whispered in Lu Fei's ear: "It has been ascertained that Zhao Guanjia and Queen Du both committed suicide by poisoning, and more than ten concubines and several princesses in each palace were ordered to be executed by him. ”
Lu Fei nodded, then smiled, and said to the ministers: "Colleagues, Zhao Jiong knows that he is not worthy of being the master, and he has died in the harem, thank the world, and the Great Song Dynasty has died." ”
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers in the palace looked sad, many people knelt down, and some even fell to the ground and cried bitterly: "Official, you are eloquent, but you were unexpectedly forced to death by a traitor, oh my God, God is not long-eyed, the lord humiliated the minister to death, and the minister was buried for the official!" ”
For a while, three or five loyal ministers crashed into the pillars of the main hall one after another and died.
Lu Fei didn't stop them, there was no need to pull the cage for those who were loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, he watched all this quietly and didn't say a word.
A white-bearded old minister flashed out of the group of hundreds of officials, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "General Lu, you are in the forbidden palace, forcing the Son of Heaven to death, and you keep saying that you want to restore the Tang Dynasty, don't you know that the former Tang Dynasty has been dead for several years, and now the people are at peace, and the world is beginning to appear in the world of great governance, aren't you afraid that the world will be ruined again, and the war will continue to be disaster for many years?" ”
Lu Fei regarded it as Xue Juzheng, the prime minister of the Political Affairs Hall, and his words have shown that now that Zhao Jiong's general trend has gone, and the change of dynasty has become a foregone conclusion, he has been the minister of the ruling government for so many years, he knows that there is no need to go on with any more chaos, and the stability of the world comes first.
Lu Fei immediately arched his hand and said: "Lu Fei has seen Xue Xianggong, you are highly respected, and you are able to govern the country, whether it is the Tang Dynasty or the Great Song Dynasty, please also ask Xue Xianggong to be remembered by the people of the world, to be on the list of the people, and to spread the word that the world will return to the Tang Dynasty. ”
Xue Juzheng snorted, stood sideways with his back and said, "Forgive the old man for not being able to help, if you want to kill, you will kill." ”
When Zhang Jiang heard this, he immediately shouted angrily: "! I'll kill you! ”
Lu Fei hurriedly stopped, glared at him and said, "Don't be rude to the courtiers, retreat." ”
Luo Cheng stared at the courtiers in the hall with disdain, his eyes swept around, and suddenly saw a young official in a dragon-shaped python robe shrinking in the crowd, he immediately waved his hand and pointed at the man: "Come here, please ask His Royal Highness the King of Chu to rest outside the palace!" ”
Several armor soldiers shouted forward, pulled the frightened Chu King Zhao Yuanzuo out of the crowd, dragged out of the palace door, his face was already pale, he was speechless under the fright, and left a little water stain on the stone slab he walked through.
Before the courtiers could speak, they could only hear a scream outside the hall.
An old minister flashed out of the hall again, gritted his teeth and said: "The surname is Lu, you ......"
Lu Fei looked at it, and it turned out to be another foreign minister in the political hall who wanted Lu Duan, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Lu Xianggong has something to say?" ”
Lu Duan gritted his teeth and said, "Lu Fei, do you think you can succeed if you occupy this imperial city?" This world has been attached to the Song Dynasty for a long time, and the border generals who are loyal to the Song family will not let you go, do you think you can sit firmly on this throne? ”
Lu Fei said with a smile: "Lu Xianggong has tormented Lu, how can I dare to usurp the throne, I am a minister of the Tang Dynasty, what I do today is just to conform to the will of heaven and the people, restore the Tang Dynasty, and do the way of a courtier!" ”
Lu Duan laughed: "Restore the Tang Dynasty? Why do you use bullying the world, who doesn't know that the former Tang Dynasty master Li Yu has already died, and the descendants of the Li family are also buried in Jiangling City. ”
Lu Fei looked around at everyone, arched his hand on the right side and said: "Although the old lord is dead, the queen is still there, and the thousands of loyal ministers of the Tang Dynasty are still there, you listen." ”
Luo Cheng immediately ran to the gate of the palace and shouted, "Long live the Tang Dynasty!" ”
Suddenly, the same voice poured into the hall like a tsunami, permeating every corner of the imperial city, and several timid courtiers were also busy kneeling down on the hall, saying: "Long live the Tang Dynasty, long live the Tang Dynasty!" ”
Lu Fei walked to the ministers, looked around, and said very earnestly: "The general trend is like this, you are all important ministers who seek the country, please focus on the overall situation, no one wants to see Bianliang blood flowing into a river, let alone see the world rise again, the day the matter is completed, Lu Fei is willing to unload his armor and return to the field, and never enter the office." ”
No one believes this, who is willing to give up the country with his head, but everyone knows that Lu Fei is just a nobody, he does not dare to be the emperor, and the launch of the Tang Dynasty is a pretext that can quickly stabilize the world, after all, the hometown of the Southern Tang Dynasty must have responded to the call, although the land of the Southern Tang Dynasty is partial to the south of the Yangtze River, but the land and population controlled at that time are second only to the Central Plains Dynasty.
**
Tianbo Bridge, Lufu.
Iron Hammer, who was like a great enemy, took fifty personal soldiers to protect the Lu Mansion tightly, and he also brought the families of the five brothers and Kou Zhun's concubine Ruyue girl here, and placed them in a house in the backyard along with Lu Fei's concubines, Iron Hammer stood in front of the door, carrying two iron shovels like iron stakes without moving, and there were bursts of crying in the house from time to time, as long as he heard the news of Lu Fei's defeat, he could immediately rush into the house without blinking and send all the brothers' families to heaven.
In the house, Qiao Niang snuggled in Heiyun's arms, frightened, and her body did not stop trembling for a while, and the shouts of the chaotic soldiers outside the courtyard had already spread throughout the entire Lu Mansion, but they didn't know what was going on outside.
On the contrary, Zhou Wei's face was as usual, sitting upright and staring at the closed door without saying a word.
Qiao Niang slowly raised her head, looked at Heiyun's eyes with tears in her eyes, and murmured, "Sister, do you know what's going on outside?" Why hasn't Lang Jun come back yet? ”
He was also a little flustered when he didn't hide Heiyun, and muttered: "Sister, don't be afraid, Lang Jun must have something big to do, and he wants General Tie Hammer to stay here, no one dares to do anything to us, sleep for a while, and there will be nothing to do when he wakes up." ”
Qiao Niang burst into tears, turned her head to look at Zhou Wei, and saw Zhou Wei walking towards them, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, two ladies, Lang Jun naturally has his reason for doing this, and wait with peace of mind, if there is really a big difficulty, I, Zhou Wei, will keep Lang Jun's innocence." ”
The two lowered their heads and saw a shiny dagger hidden in Zhou Wei's cuffs.
Qiao Niang hurriedly said: "Queen, you, what are you going to do?" ”
Zhou Wei smiled indifferently: "Don't call me the queen, I'm just Lang Jun's maidservant, don't be afraid, I will never let myself fall into the hands of the rebels, this is just a last resort." ”
Heiyun whispered, "Then, do you know what's going on outside?" ”
Zhou Wei shook her head: "Wait for it to change." ”
At this moment, there was a noisy sound of footsteps outside the house, but it quickly calmed down, and only the name of the house was heard in a loud voice: "Welcome to the Tang Dynasty Empress to enter the palace, Chitose Chitose Chitose!" ”
Qiao Niang and Heiyun looked at each other, she hurriedly ran over to open the door, only to see a bunch of people kneeling outside, led by Tie Hammer and Kou Zhun.
Kou Zhun bowed down and walked into the house, bowed down in front of Zhou Wei, and said respectfully: "The Tang Dynasty has been restored, General Lu invited the queen to enter the palace to preside over the government, and Feng Yuan has been waiting outside the door." ”
Zhou Wei slowly stood up in surprise, the dagger hidden in her hand slipped to the ground, and she muttered to herself: "You, what are you talking about?" ”
Kou Zhun played again: "The Tang Dynasty has recovered, and General Lu has invited the Tang Dynasty Empress Zhou to enter the palace to preside over the government, so as to uphold the dynasty!" ”
Qiao Niang was stunned for a long time, and suddenly knelt down: "Slave Qiao Niang knocks on the queen's mother, Niangniang is a thousand years old." ”
Zhou Wei rode the phoenix chariot of the Empress of the Great Song Dynasty and slowly entered the palace from the Vermilion Bird Gate under the escort of thousands of soldiers, and the sergeants along the road shouted: Long live the Tang Dynasty, long live the queen!
The imposing sound of the rainbow caused the people along the way to kneel into a long dragon, and in the face of this situation, Zhou Wei in the phoenix was already crying.
In front of the brigade, Tie Hammer and Kou Zhun were the leaders.
Tie Hammer asked Kou Zhun with a puzzled face: "Sir, what does this mean by big brother, why did you come up with a Tang Dynasty queen again, he, he is not called the emperor." ”
Kou Zhun brushed his beard and said: "This is the good policy of the lord!" ”
Tie Hammer looked back at Feng Yuan and said, "So we have to listen to this woman in the future?" ”
Kou Zhun glared at him and said: "Don't choose what to say, how can you underestimate the queen, besides, if the lord is really called the emperor, it is the imperial concubine who is sitting on this car, you kid be careful, today the lord is the Tang family, and he is not a descendant of the Li family, who can serve the emperor in a hurry?" ”
Tie Hammer said sullenly: "I think that Zhao Jiong was also called the emperor by his group of subordinates in the yellow robe of Chenqiaoyi, the eldest brother is too afraid, and he bowed to the ninety-nine bows, and he was about to tremble for the last time." ”
Kou Zhun said: "Zhao Jiong was the former secretary of the palace back then, commanding all the forbidden troops, and he was a general in the former Zhou Dynasty for more than ten years, his henchmen were all over the government and the opposition, and there were 200,000 loyal soldiers around him, of course he could, can our lord compare." ”
Tie Hammer said unhappily: "Then when will I still think about being promoted and making a fortune, and I will also become a founding hero, maybe I can get a grandfather of a country, hehe." ”
Kou Zhun snorted and smiled: "It's a hurry! You have a friendship with the lord, and he will not treat you badly. ”
When he arrived at the door of Xuanyou, Kou Zhun ordered the car to stop, and he respectfully came to the side of the car and said cautiously: "Enlighten the queen mother." ”
Zhou Wei is not a monk who is a monk halfway, she is a serious queen of the Tang Dynasty, and she doesn't need to deliberately pretend at all, she only hummed behind the curtain, and the palace lady on the side hurriedly knelt on the side and separated the curtain.
Kou Zhun took out a few rolls of yellow silk from his arms, held them high above the top, and said, "Please take a look at the queen!" ”
A palace maid took it and transferred it into the car.
Zhou Wei was already dressed in a gorgeous and dignified dress with gold embroidered phoenixes, and several palace maids were dressing her up, she only glanced at it, then nodded slightly, and waved her hand to let the palace maid hand it to Kou Zhun again.
