Chapter 469 Mobilization Order

In the huge Zichen Palace, it was so quiet that there was not a single person who spoke. ，

In the deathly silence, a falling pin can be heard.

There was only a slight hourglass sound, and what seemed to be the sound of objects colliding, rubbing, clicking. In this silent hall, it is extraordinarily clear.

Curious, Hong Fatzi turned his head and followed the prestige, and when he saw an official of the Ministry of Rites, he trembled with fright, and the beads of sweat on his face rolled down. couldn't help laughing dumbly, it turned out that this voice was the sound of this guy fighting his teeth in fright.

The civil and military officials, who were silent, lowered their heads and didn't dare to say a word. When they saw the scene just now, how could they not understand what was going on?

Able to climb to their position and be by the king's side. That's not the one who is clear-minded.

From entering the palace gate, I saw the new faces of the guards, as well as the strict defense that made people palpitate. When I entered the main hall, the door suddenly closed. Then, suddenly, there was darkness, a noisy noise. And then His Majesty arrived just in time. and, the bloody dagger in King Wu's hand.

This one thing at a glance, it seems to be a chaotic combination and coincidence. But if you think about it carefully, you can find that these things are all run through by a clue.

That is, the unlucky guy who was dragged out and put in prison - King Wu.

All the layouts were deliberately set for a disgraced prince.

Oh, interlocking, airtight. What a good idea!

Hey, King Wu is really right. Now that His Majesty has appointed King Zheng as the crown prince, it is clear that he wants to support King Zheng to ascend the throne. Moreover, now almost all the forces in the court have begun to move closer to King Zheng and try to become part of the prince's camp. At this time when you are extremely unfavorable to yourself, you don't want to be alone, and you even jump up and down to win over the minister, forming a party for personal gain. Delusional desire to get the throne that is already impossible to obtain. Isn't this looking for your own death?

Hey, King Wu, why don't you flirt with women at home, why did you come all the way to this capital.

It's good now, except that you yourself are in prison, and life and death are unpredictable. It makes the old men panic, just like doing something wrong.

Nima's, damn it, damn it!

In the blink of an eye, the courtiers' sympathy and pity for King Wu were swept away in the oppressive atmosphere of this hall. In its place, there is deep resentment and resentment.

After the wind in their hearts changed, the ministers nodded in unison, admiring His Majesty's broad-mindedness of killing relatives with thunderous means.

The emperor, who was sitting on the dragon chair, holding a tea cup and sipping tea, saw that the courtiers had changed from the previous panic to the unity of opinion at this time. (,) smiled slightly and placed the teacup on the table. Only then did he tidy up the yellow dragon robe of the Ming Dynasty, slowly stood up, glanced at the civil and military officials in the audience, and said slowly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the king of Jin has rebelled. It's been two months now! ”

The emperor let out a sigh of relief, leaned back in his chair, and said lightly.

Below, after hearing these words, the ministers didn't dare to talk casually, but just nodded yes one after another.

"The king of Jin colluded with foreign rebellions, and the crime is unforgivable. I sent an army to conquer, maintain the century-old society of our Great Zhou Dynasty, and inherit the Chinese Taoist system. It is a righteous act for heaven! The emperor's eyes were neither happy nor sad, and his words were sonorous and powerful.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

After hearing this, the hundred officials below still nodded their heads one after another, knelt down in unison, and praised the emperor Shengming Xianda.

However, a few people with bright minds saw that His Majesty no longer seemed to talk about King Wu's affairs. I finally breathed a sigh of relief in my heart.

Oh, it's finally over! It's scary!

The Emperor smiled slightly, and stood up with the arm of his chair. Raise your hand to summon the eunuch over, then take a wax-sealed wooden box from the eunuch's hand, and hold it in the palm of his hand. After taking a deep breath, he said to the hundred officials in a deep voice: "This is the military report sent to me from Taiyuan just now by my Great Zhou Emperor Division, Lord Lu!" ”

When the emperor said this, with a relieved smile on his face, he looked at the courtier who raised his head and was full of anticipation, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything. I choked up with excitement.

Raising his head, his eyes were a little hazy and looked at the plaque of the Great Zhou Tong inscribed by Emperor Shengwu himself above the main hall. Taking a deep breath, he said in a trembling voice: "The fifth year of the Great Zhou Qingyuan, winter, the fifth day of the tenth month." Taiyuan, recovered! ”

……

Taiyuan is recovered!

This voice sounded like a thunderbolt in the Zichen Palace.

The hundreds of civil and military personnel, after hearing the news, were suddenly shocked, and looked at the emperor and the military newspaper in the emperor's hand dumbfounded. For a while, it was hard to believe that this thing was real.

You must know that Lu Heng's departure from Beijing was strictly confidential. In the Zichen Palace, except for the emperor, Hong Quan and a few bigwigs in the military department, the rest of the people were kept in the dark.

Now, the courtiers are still worried about whether the Jin king's army will break through the Yellow River defense line and approach the city of Tokyo. Suddenly, the news of Taiyuan's recovery came.

This......

How could this be, so suddenly!

How to recover Taiyuan, this trick to hide from the sky and cross the sea, it is simply incredible.

Below, the courtiers were talking. (7* Guessing Lord Lu's method of using soldiers, sometimes shaking his head, sometimes nodding.) Then he was full of suspicion, and then shook his head, and said puzzledly, impossible, this is absolutely impossible.

The dragon chair stepped forward, and the emperor looked at the courtiers with such a surprised look, smiled in his eyes, and nodded with satisfaction. Then, he stretched out his hand and pressed it.

When the hall was quiet, the emperor handed over the wooden box to the chief administrator on the side.

"Read!"

The emperor turned around and walked back to his chair, and after he lifted his dragon robe and sat down, he raised his big hand and pointed it to the big inner pipe.

"Yes!" The chief manager nodded respectfully when he heard this. Then he turned around, faced the courtier, opened the wooden box, and took out the military newspaper.

After slowly unfolding, he coughed. The chief manager of Ouchi held his head high, his face was serious, and his eyes followed the handwriting on the military newspaper word by word: "Minister, I have secretly arrived at Baoding Mansion in early September of the fifth year of Qingyuan. Later, General Wang Xirang of the Baoding garrison and General Duan Peng of the Jiangsu Coastal Defense Army reorganized the troops in one place. With 20 troops in September, across the Taihang Mountains, the army passed through Taiyuan Mansion at the end of September and took Xinzhou. On the second day of October, he arrived at the foot of Taiyuan City and launched an attack on Taiyuan City overnight. In the early morning of the second day, the city defense of Taiyuan was breached. The king of Jin was captured, and the rest of the troops disarmed and surrendered. So far, Taiyuan has been recovered! Lu Heng bowed! The sixth day of October in the fifth year of the Great Zhou Qingyuan was written with the King of Jin's mansion! ”

After reading the military report, the voice kept echoing in the empty Zichen Hall for a long time.

Below, the civil and military officials held their breath, suppressed their trembling bodies, and listened to the last word read by the chief administrator of Ouchi.

When the voice of the chief of Ouchi fell, the breathing of the civil and military officials was disordered.

They were still worried last night about whether they would let their families move south first to escape the military disaster. However, I didn't expect that after waking up. But suddenly I heard this exciting good news.

The mood changes so much, it's a world of difference!

After confirming the authenticity of the news, the civil and military officials were very excited, and after glancing at each other, under the leadership of Zhang Wenshan, they knelt down together, and praised His Majesty long live, thousands of years, and long life.

For a while, the oppressive and cold atmosphere in the hall was swept away, and all the ministers were discussing the good news that made people feel excited, admiring His Majesty's sage, and the unpredictable military methods of the emperor.

The main hall was enveloped in a sense of triumphant joy. There was a genuine smile on everyone's face. Even those opponents who usually met and didn't speak each other, they all hugged happily at this time.

Among these joyful officials, only Zhang Wenshan and Hong Quan were exceptionally calm.

Yesterday, His Majesty summoned them into the palace overnight, pointing to several large boxes of letters from Taiyuan Mansion, and was furious.

I remembered that last night, in the imperial study, His Majesty smashed the chair and the cup angrily. Until now, Zhang Wenshan has felt that his scalp is numb.

Looking up, I saw that the smile on the emperor's face gradually dissipated, replaced by a deep killing aura.

Zhang Wenshan chuckled in his heart, and said secretly: It's here.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" After the emperor took a deep breath, the smile on his face was gone, replaced by a sad look. raised his hand, shook the military newspaper in his hand, and said with a calm face: "Everyone may be very happy about the victory in this battle." But. As the commander-in-chief of the front, the emperor Lu Heng, on the results of this war. But he was not satisfied. In the military report, Lu Heng did not make a detailed mistake about how many people there were in our army, let alone celebrate the generals. Do you know why? ”

After hearing this, the hundred officials, who were carried away by joy, realized that the matter was not over yet.

After standing back in place, they bowed their heads and pondered His Majesty's words.

Perhaps with the victory as a catalyst, these officials are not as reserved as they had just been. After hearing His Majesty's question, an official thought about it and stood up and said: "Lord Lu is a model for scholars in the world. The saint cloud, the villain is in the profit, and the gentleman is in the righteousness. Weichen thought, Lord Lu wants to set a standard for us to be officials! Therefore, I will no longer ask Your Majesty for credit in this military report! ”

A few words, said evenly. Foolproof. Even Hong Quan, who was on the side, heard it and felt that this seemed to be the truth.

Zhang Wenshan pursed his lips with disdain when he heard this, thinking of Lu Heng's scoundrel appearance on weekdays, and secretly snickered. Lu Hengke has never regarded himself as a gentleman, and everything he does is a good word. From business matters to national diplomacy. This kid is all here to take advantage. The difference is that others take advantage of the obvious advantages in front of them, but what this kid is planning is a foundation for thousands of years!

Take Goryeo as an example, Lü Heng's local implementation, funded by the imperial court, to encourage Goryeo people to learn Chinese and wear Hanfu is really a vicious and desperate measure. In the short term, it seems that the imperial court has lost some money. But a discerning person can see at a glance that Lu Heng's move is to plot the peace of Goryeo and return to obedience for thousands of years.

That's a bargain!

Therefore, when I heard this official say that Lu Heng is a gentleman, the word righteousness is the first. Zhang Wenshan has nothing but amusement in his heart.

And the emperor obviously also knows Lu Heng's character.

Therefore, after hearing this person's words, he was quite disdainful in his heart.

After the emperor smiled, he stroked his gray beard and bowed his head slightly: "Lord Lu has a noble character, just like a lotus flower in the pool, out of the mud without staining ......"

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. As soon as these words came out, Zhang Wenshan and Hong Quan, who often mixed up with Lu Heng, rolled their eyes.

Old man, you are not kind to scold Huai so much!

Weichen didn't offend your old man, what is this for! Scolding us for being mud for no reason, what's that, right?

Zhang Wenshan and Hong Quan's dejected looks naturally fell into the eyes of the emperor.

The Emperor glared at them fiercely, blaming them for not knowing what to do. After that, the emperor turned his head, smiled slightly, and continued to say to the hundred officials: "Lord Lu did not ask me for credit, naturally there is a reason for this!" ”

"But ......" Suddenly, the emperor's words changed. The voice became as cold as winter, cold and permeating. The murderous collapse in the tiger's eyes is terrifying.

His face sank, his eyes were murderous, and after glancing at a few of the hundred officials, he looked away, looked at the ministers, and said slowly: "However, in addition to this reason, there is a more important reason. For this reason, even the emperor was shocked! ”

The emperor took a deep breath, stretched out his fist, slammed the table hard, and said word by word: "There are traitors in the court!" ”

As soon as the words came out, all four were shocked.

When the civil and military officials heard this, they immediately changed their colors. Standing up in a panic, he stared at the person next to him angrily and suspiciously, afraid that the person around him was the traitor that His Majesty had just mentioned.

When these officials heard the good news of the recovery of Taiyuan Prefecture, they were extremely happy. At this time, I had long thought about going home and telling my wife and concubine. You don't have to move with your family and live in a foreign land.

However, before they could tell their families the good news. I heard His Majesty say that there are these hateful traitors in the court, who have disregarded the righteousness of the world and recognized the thief as their father.

This, this is simply forcing yourself to leave your hometown!

Damn, damn it!

After seeing the indignant appearance of the civil and military officials, they hated the traitors. The emperor, who felt that the time had come, suddenly stood up, raised his head and said in a deep voice to the Qianniuwei around the main hall: "Where is Qianniuwei!" ”

Hundreds of thousands of Niu Wei took a step in unison, and the momentum was terrifying. The leader of the armor-clad lieutenant general strode forward. He bowed to the emperor and replied with a full face: "Humble duty!" ”

After the emperor nodded slightly, he turned his head and said to the eunuch beside him, "Read!" ”

"Li Feng, Huang Sa, Feng Chao......" After the eunuch opened a scroll, he read the names on it word by word.

It wasn't until I had recited no less than twelve or thirteen that I stopped.

"Take down these traitors for me!" After the emperor waited for the eunuch to finish reading, his face was full of murder, and with a wave of his sleeves, he turned around and gave an order to Qianniuwei to arrest him.

"Yes!" The Qianniu Wei Zhonglang who took the lead received the order in a deep voice, and then waved his big hand, pointing at the thirteen officials who were paralyzed on the ground and their faces were like ashes, and said to the Qianniu Wei behind him: "Take it!" ”

The Qianniu guards moved, the armor on their bodies rattled, and they strode forward and tied up the twelve people with great skill.

"Break into the prison and wait for it to fall!" The emperor, who had his back to everything, took a deep breath, waved his hand, and said lightly to Qianniu Wei Zhonglang.
