Chapter 474: Heavenly Wrath (1)
Chapter 474: Heavenly Wrath (1)
There was a lot of noise on the school grounds. Thousands www.biquge.info of soldiers, thousands of ordinary people and dignitaries of Chang'an, etc., surrounded the originally very empty school grounds.
Kong Sheng slowly raised his head on the platform, just in the distance from the majestic eyes of Li Yu, the crown prince of the prison officer.
Kong Sheng's expression was very calm, extremely calm. This made Li Yu a little surprised, it was time for him to fall to the ground, but Kong Sheng was still calm - is there really a person in this world who sees death as home?
Li Yu was a little skeptical.
Kong Sheng didn't expect that the supervisor was Li Yu. It can be seen that when the emperor passed the edict, he was already anxious and dizzy, and he actually asked Li Yu to supervise the beheading! Of course, letting the crown prince Li Yujian behead is a casual word from the emperor's anger, which has no special meaning, and there is no need to over-interpret it.
But Kong Sheng thinks so, and others may not think so.
In the hearts of many people, the emperor asked Li Yu to behead Kong Sheng, which means that the era of Kong Sheng is completely over, and the era belonging to Li Yu is about to start again. In this short-term power faction game, the new force Kong Sheng finally ended in defeat.
Kong Sheng turned his head and looked in the direction of Chang'an City. Up to now, Kong Sheng has never been afraid of anything, even if he really goes to the guillotine in the end, he will admit it - if in this era, he still can't control his own destiny and becomes a pawn controlled by others, and it is better to die tragically if he lives so reluctantly - besides, he does not belong to this era in the first place. Where to go back and forth is also a trajectory of fate.
So Kong Sheng really wasn't afraid of anything. The emperor deliberately created this murderous atmosphere, and even did not hesitate to hint that Zhu Huiguang had spread the news, so that the magnates of Chang'an and the merchants and ordinary people in the city would come to see the excitement, so as to exert psychological pressure on Kong Sheng and try to force Kong Sheng to comply.
But in his past and present lives, what scene has Kong Sheng never seen, and can he still be frightened by the emperor's psychological warfare that does not have much technical content?
Therefore, the crowds of onlookers around him, the murderous executioners, or the majestic and incomprehensible prison officials, and the thousands of guards and forbidden soldiers are all props for some emperors to manipulate and perform in Kong Sheng's eyes.
Crown Prince Li Yu slowly ascended to the prison platform. His steps were slow, one step at a time, and his expression was even more awe-inspiring. Li Yu attaches great importance to dress etiquette, especially in this kind of public appearance, and he pays great attention to his manners and words and deeds.
He looked around at the crowd, speechless, and a trace of joy actually passed through his heart. In the government and the opposition, his prestige is unmatched. There are so many princes in the emperor, and no one can top him. And from a certain point of view, even if he is an emperor, his influence among the subjects of the world is difficult to compare with Li Yu, the crown prince.
The crown prince should be Li Yu's part, which can be regarded as commendable. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, no prince of the East Palace can compare with him, and his achievements and reputation are above those of his predecessors.
The hour was not yet yet, and the edict given by the emperor was to be beheaded at three quarters of the unitary hour.
Li Yu looked up at the sky, and the red sun that was gradually falling in the west was still dazzling, reflecting half of the sky. The weather was so fine that it didn't seem like a sign of killing a powerful person.
Li Yu looked at Li Kui, the auxiliary minister of the East Palace, beside him.
Li Yu threw a hintive glance at Li Yu and said softly: "Your Highness, the hour is coming, please order the executioner to stand by!" ”
Li Yu hesitated slightly, then turned his head to look at Kong Sheng on the opposite stage, who was surrounded by a group of wolf-like executioners. Li Yu felt a slight pity in his heart, a rare genius like Kong Sheng would rather die than use him, it was a pity.
At this time, Li Yu suddenly had an impulse to personally go forward and ask Kong Sheng, if Kong Sheng was willing to be used by the East Palace, he would definitely venture into the palace to intercede with the emperor and open the net.
But weighing political interests, Kong Sheng's existence has already posed a huge threat to the East Palace. Li Yu finally made up his mind.
As soon as he thought of this, Li Yu broke off and shouted: "Kong Sheng resisted the decree and disobeyed, the crime was extremely evil, and the palace was ordered to be beheaded - pass on the orders of the palace, and the executioner is in place and on standby!" ”
At the sound of an order, eighteen shirtless and fierce-looking executioners slowly ascended to the podium with scimitars in their hands and shouting slogans. In fact, there are not so many executioners at all for execution, there are only two people who really do it, and the others are decorations and formations.
Offstage, Nan Yong rode on the horse with his fists clenched, and his face was restless. Nan Jiyun glanced back at his son and cast a warning glance. What Nan Yong wants to do, Nan Jiyun knows it, but Nan Jiyun is a person who is loyal to the monarch and serves the country, although he is deeply grateful and in awe of Kong Sheng, but if he wants him to rebel and rob the law field for Kong Sheng, he will never be able to do it.
What's more, in Nan Jiyun's view, even if someone takes a risk to rob the Dharma field for Kong Sheng to rescue, but the so-called monk can't run the temple, this world is so big, it is not the royal land, it is the world of the Li Tang royal family, where else can Kong Sheng escape? Moreover, thousands of forbidden troops are guarded, Chang'an is heavily guarded, and it is difficult to successfully escape even if the law field is robbed, so it is better to give up this stupid and rebellious behavior than to be brought to justice and anger the emperor and even the nine clans.
Nan Jiyun became more and more unable to understand why Kong Sheng did this. Is marrying a princess worse than death? What kind of mentality is he willing to die, rather dragging down the lives of these loyal subordinates than giving in to the emperor?
Nan Jiyun is a very macho person, and he can't understand that Kong Sheng would give up all his current power and glory for the sake of a woman.
Nan Jiyun can't control Wu Xianwu, Li Biao, Li Hu and others, but he can control his son. He can ignore the robbery of Wuxian Wujie and others, but he will never allow his son to participate.
Nan Jiyun is a loyal and brave person, and his mind is full of foolish and loyal thoughts, but he is actually quite stubborn. When Kong Sheng has become a rebel in his eyes, it is impossible for him to promote rebellion.
Over there, Wu Xian grabbed Wu Jie's arm and said in a low voice: "Where are Li Biao and Li Hu's rammed goods?" If you don't do it at this moment, I'm afraid the general will lose his life...... How good is that? ”
Wu Xie shook his head, and alluded to the white-clothed Mu Changfeng who was mixed in the crowd not far away, and said softly: "Don't be impatient, and wait a little longer, and see if Mu Daxia will do it - if he can do it, it would be the best, he is a Jianghu person, and he doesn't have any scruples about us." As long as he comes out to rob the law field to save the general, we will secretly echo, disrupt the school field, and let the general take advantage of the chaos to retreat. With the general's martial arts methods, these people of the prince could not stop him. ”
Wu Xian has an impatient personality, and in many things, he still has to listen to his second brother's arrangement. Because the Wujie city government is deep and has a lot of strategic means. This kind of composure often plays an important role at critical moments.
Kong Sheng was playing with the emperor, but these hardcore henchmen under him didn't know about it. In line with the worst-case scenario, Wu Xianwu Xie Li Biao and Li Hu connected hundreds of henchmen and soldiers to prepare to rescue Kong Sheng today.
But as a last resort, as a general of the forbidden army, Wu Xian Wuxie did not want to become a criminal and rebellious person in the imperial court. Because this will not only ruin the future and wealth, but also drag down the family members. So Wu Xie is still waiting and seeing, wanting to see if Mu Changfeng will do it.
Mu Changfeng's methods are not comparable to ordinary soldiers, and his art is bold, and he has a strong brotherhood with Kong Sheng, he will never sit back and watch Kong Sheng be killed by the imperial court. Mu Changfeng will definitely do it...... Wu Xie made up his mind in his heart, stabbed his brother Wu Xian, and then quietly detoured backwards to Li Biao and Li Hu's camp.
Li Biao and Li Hu have actually been prepared for a long time. His hand was already on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and as long as he gave an order, the five hundred soldiers under the command of the two would rush out without hesitation to save Kong Sheng, the almost god-like general who no one in their minds.
These 500 soldiers were based on more than 100 Jiangbei cavalry given to Kong Sheng by Li Xuan, the lord of Fengyang County, and their loyalty to Kong Sheng far exceeded that of the emperor.
Don't look at Nan Jiyun leading thousands of forbidden troops to maintain order in the school field and sit in the law field. And the Donggong guards led hundreds of people to surround the execution platform to the death, but these soldiers under Li Biao and Li Hu were all masters of one to ten, and they really wanted to kill suddenly, and they were caught off guard by surprise, and the possibility of saving Kong Sheng was still very great.
Moreover, Kong Sheng's prestige in the Shence Army was unmatched. It is estimated that many non-commissioned officers of the forbidden army will turn a blind eye to the rescue of Kong Sheng by Wu Xian Wujie and others, and will not contribute to the process of arrest or encirclement and suppression.
No one thought that the emperor and Zhu Huiguang and the others were in the northwest corner outside the school grounds. This is a corner that no one pays attention to, the emperor went out of the palace in micro-clothes, only with dozens of shadow guards, and only brought Zhu Huiguang with the eunuchs.
The emperor looked at Zhu Huiguang and said lightly: "Zhu Huiguang, tell me about it, as soon as the hour arrives, Kong Sheng's head will fall to the ground, is he really not afraid of death?"
Zhu Huiguang rubbed his hands awkwardly, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the slave doesn't know much about Kong Sheng, so she doesn't dare to speak falsely." It's just that the slave maid thinks that Kong Sheng is a person with a distinct personality, and he seems to have the courage to rather be broken than broken, so he ......"
The emperor waved his hand a little angrily: "What kind of courage is this?" This is purely a call with me, Kong Sheng really ate the leopard's gall, and he didn't even take me in his eyes! ”
Zhu Huiguang was reprimanded by the emperor, and he was a little frightened, so he didn't dare to take the emperor's words at will. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he was just about to persuade the emperor to return to the palace, when he suddenly felt that the haze was gradually growing in the originally clear sky, followed by a howling southwest wind sweeping across the world, and suddenly, it seemed that a storm was coming.
The whistling wind blew the placket of his clothes, and the emperor's slightly old face in the gloomy owl was infinitely enlarged in front of Zhu Huiguang's eyes, and the majestic eyes projected the cold light of the forest, Zhu Huiguang's heart was shocked, and he slowly lowered his head.
But the emperor was indifferent to this, and not only did not have the idea of returning to the palace, but galloped away and rushed to the entrance of the school. (To be continued.) )
