Chapter 242: The Emperor's Heart
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked over. Gao Yue was stunned and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty...... What does Your Majesty say about this? If the minister takes all these troops away, how can Chang'an be good, and how will His Majesty deal with himself? ”
Sima Ye became short of breath, his face was flushed with hot flashes, and he said categorically: "The left and right are unable to escape the fate of failure, I want to rush before Hu Lu attacks the inner city, let Qing and the others escape as soon as possible." ”
Under the anger and attack, Gao Yue angrily fought the bull, blood surged up his head, and the ruthless brutality in his bones immediately attacked, he knelt on the ground, and stood his neck to protest: "The minister does not obey the edict!" The minister is determined to fight to the death with Hu Lu, and asks His Majesty to take back his life! ”
Sima Ye stood up suddenly, walked down quickly from the Danqi, came to Gao Yue, and actually leaned down to help him with his own hands. The emperor was like this, Gao Yue could only stand up first and said resolutely: "Your Majesty! The minister is willing to fight to the death for His Majesty, not to escape! ”
Sima Ye waved his hand, stopped Gao Yue, and said, "Qing's sincerity, I know it very well. But Qing is wrong, I want you to leave now, not to let you run away and trap you in injustice, but to give you a heavy responsibility. ”
He raised his sad eyes, looked at the void outside the hall from afar, and only turned around for a while, and said slowly: "You listen to me first." I have made a decree to pass the throne to King Langya, who is far away in the south of the Yangtze River. My Dajin national fortune is difficult, but the incense of the community is unbreakable. After I pass on the throne, I will surrender as the king of the abdication, and I will see my ancestors with some face in the future. ”
"I used to be a million heroes in the Great Jin Dynasty, but now there are only 4,000 people left, and the society is about to fall. I am ashamed of my ancestors, so I really don't want to let the soldiers shed blood and die needlessly. Qing is loyal and brave, he has come to King Qin twice, I remember Qing's deep righteousness, and now I can't drag you down. I have handed over all the soldiers to you, which can be regarded as the best explanation for them. Qing will keep this last spark for my Dajin and leave it for the restoration of the world in the future. In addition, Fan Qing is also a cadre of the imperial court and has rich experience, so he can follow Gao Qing and help him for me. ”
Gao Yue just refused to respond repeatedly, and Fan Sheng also blushed and shook his head frequently, unwilling to abandon Sima Ye. Seeing that he couldn't move, Sima Ye turned his face and raised his voice suddenly.
"I am the emperor, do you two dare to disobey the holy decree in person!"
Gao Yue was stunned, Leng didn't know what to say there, and said after a while: "In this case, Your Majesty should not surrender, but you can break through with the ministers, and the ministers swear to protect Your Majesty's safety, and then go to Qinzhou to station, and then call on the righteous people in the world, isn't it good?" ”
Sima Ye smiled miserably: "I finally escaped from Luoyang to Chang'an, and I don't want to run anymore this time." And I am the monarch, I should guard the temple, Chang'an City, I don't want to and can't leave. Whether I live or die, I must stay here. ”
I heard Sima Ye slow down his tone and mourn: "Since I became the emperor, I have never experienced what the majesty of the Son of Heaven is. In the past few years, wandering, hungry and sleeping, and coming to Chang'an, I still have to worry day and night. What kind of emperor is this? Today, this last moment is finally coming, so you can let me get over the addiction of the Son of Heaven to dictate the Gang for a while! ”
More people in the temple began to sobble silently. Gao Yue's heart was mixed, and his throat seemed to be blocked by something, so he had to bow his head and whisper to Fan Sheng.
Sima Ye burst into tears, but squeezed out a smile and said, "Thanks to you, my already cold heart feels real warmth. You have shed blood and wounded for me, and I will never forget it wherever I go. Last night, I wrote an edict, and Gao Qing can take it. But there is one point, after leaving Chang'an City and returning to Qinzhou, you can take it apart and take a look. ”
Gao Yue stepped forward to take the holy decree sealed with fire paint, and his heart was heavy and speechless. Sima Ye nodded, walked back to the dragon chair quickly, waved the sleeves of his robe, and said resolutely: "The situation is urgent, I order Gao Yue to quickly speed the army to break through, don't make a mistake!" ”
Suo Qi suddenly stepped forward and said, "The minister is willing to break through the siege with General Gao, and then go to Beidi County to recruit the power of King Qin." ”
Sima Ye Muran sat down, shook his head and said, "No." Captain Suo is a minister of the state and a pillar of the court, and he should be by my side and not leave. ”
"This!"
Suo Qi's face was unwilling and stunned, and he was dumbfounded. Unexpectedly, Sima Ye, who had always been submissive, would reject him without any negotiation in the court. In fact, Fang Cai Zhongzong Chang was ordered to go out of the city to ask for surrender, but he was secretly intercepted by Suo Qi, but he privately asked his son Suo Kun to meet Liu Yao, saying that there are still enough soldiers and food in the city at present, enough to support a year, and if he attacks hard, Liu Yao will be very difficult to succeed. However, if you can give Suo Qiyi and the three divisions, Shiyi Wanhu and other officials Houlu, then Kaicheng will surrender.
Unexpectedly, Liu Yao had already been confident about Chang'an's weakness, and when he ordered Suo Kun to be beheaded with a knife and returned to Suo Qi, he also sent a message to him, Suo Yao's move was the biggest evil deed in the world, and there was no morality. If you feel that you still have strength, even if you are unable to defend the city, if you are exhausted, don't try to fool people with false words, and surrender as soon as possible to comply with the destiny of heaven. In the end, Liu Yao also threatened that if he hesitated or wanted to play any clever tricks, then he was afraid that when the time came, his majesty would be lifted and the jade would be burned.
The good abacus of waiting for the price to sell was smashed to pieces. At present, he wanted to escape from the city with Gao Yue as soon as possible, but was rejected by Sima Ye in public. Now he can't go, and he is unwilling to surrender without interests. Suo Qi's face was red and white, and he was so frustrated that he didn't know what to do.
Beside him, Lu Yun bowed deeply and said solemnly: "To make the country so chaotic is that the ministers have no talent and no courage to make a mistake, and they are ashamed of Your Majesty." The minister only wishes to stay in Chang'an and not leave His Majesty for a moment. Your Majesty guards the society and guards Your Majesty. ”
Sima Ye nodded approvingly, but no longer looked at Suo Qi, and said to Gao Yue: "I am young and weak, and I am empty in the name of the Son of Heaven, so I can't help Qing and others." Only by staying here and grabbing Hu Lu's attention can Qing and the others have a better chance to get out of the encirclement, which can be regarded as how much I have contributed......"
His words were interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps. A guard, who couldn't even care about etiquette, rushed in with a frightened face, panting: "Your Majesty! The thieves have entered the inner city! ”
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall began to cry. The terrible time is finally coming.
Fan Sheng was extremely sad, this tough guy who was covered in scars but could still talk and laugh, knelt at the bottom of the stairs at the moment, crying silently. The young emperor looked reluctant, but pretended to be relaxed and said, "Don't be like this. If I am captured by the enemy, I will most likely be taken to Pingyang, and I am afraid that I will be safe for a while. Qing and others are in Qinzhou, but the whole army can talk about martial arts, find a good time in the future, and then rescue me. ”
As he spoke, he glared at Gao Yue and shouted, "The words have come to this, don't think about me, don't go quickly!" ”
Gao Yue felt sad in his heart. He knew that Sima Ye was more than lucky. Judging from the development of official history, after Sima Ye was captured by Liu Yao, he was indeed escorted to Pingyang, but then suffered all kinds of humiliation, and even when the Han lord Liu Cong went to the toilet, he was forced to hold the toilet lid beside him, and finally could not escape the fate of being killed. This miserable young man has a short life, but it is full of all kinds of disasters and bad luck. After he was killed, he was hastily buried by the Huns, and no one remembered the place where he was buried clearly, which made people sympathize and worry.
Sima Ye looked at Gao Yue with resolute eyes and kept waving his hand. Seeing that it was difficult to recover Sima Ye's intentions, Gao Yue forcibly held back his throbbing emotions, and after kneeling heavily and kowtowing nine times, he took Fan Sheng and Wang Cai with him, gritted his teeth and turned to leave. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the palace, Sima Ye's mournful and agitated voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Brother Gao! Cherish it from now on! ”
At this time, there is no more hierarchical monarchy and ministers, but I hope to have brotherhood with all sincerity. Gao Yue felt as if he had been electrocuted, and his whole body trembled and even stopped. But he didn't look back, but after a moment, he raised his feet and was about to leave in a hurry, but tears could no longer help but slide silently from his eyes.
