Chapter 216: The Final Battle of Jiangning Mansion (3)
In the dark night, not far away, outside the Mingde Gate, a group of soldiers of the Tang Army Forbidden Army wearing armor have poured into the gate of the palace, their faces are full of murder, one of the leaders has a tiger talisman in his hand to mobilize soldiers and horses, this person is Lin Renzhao, he directly showed his own sign to those forbidden soldiers, and said: "I am the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, Lin Renzhao, the envoy of the Runzhou Festival, this is the tiger talisman issued by His Majesty himself, everyone immediately put down their weapons, otherwise there will be no forgiveness." ”
"Put down your weapons, or you will be killed!" Behind Lin Renzhao stood the former Tang Army's Jinling guard general Lu Yan, Ma Bujun Du Yu Hou Ma Chengshun and other generals also said together, those generals who guarded the palace were originally these people's subordinates, because as soon as they saw Yu Yan, Ma Chengshun and others, and there was the Son of Heaven Tiger Talisman in their hands, seeing the Tiger Talisman as if they saw the Son of Heaven, they immediately put down the weapons in their hands and directly put them into the palace.
In a short period of time, the soldiers of the forbidden army guarding the gate of the imperial city had already put down their weapons and welcomed Lin Renzhao and them into the city.
Then Lin Renzhao looked at the soldiers of the forbidden army in front of him, and he said: "The lord of the country has an order, Li Congqing usurped and rebelled, whoever captures him alive will have a great merit, and there will be a reward in the future." ”
With the tiger talisman in hand, the soldiers of the forbidden army were immediately ordered, and they would not let go of the opportunity to make meritorious contributions in the army, and after a while, they picked up their weapons from the ground again, and went to the direction of Zhaoqing Hall with Lin Renzhao's army.
The palace walls in front of them stretched out into the distance.
At this moment, outside the Zhaoqing Hall of the Tang Palace, standing with Han Xizai is Gong Shenyi, Gong Shenyi's blood-colored eyes are only helpless and melancholy, when he heard Han Xizai's words, he remembered what Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wei, said to him in his mansion before, and now he remembers it vividly, at this time, Gong Shenyi realized that what the King of Wei said that day was not said casually, but now it has come true.
And now, Gong Shenyi also understands what Han Xizai said, now that the army of the Three Kingdoms is besieging the city, this Jinling City is probably about to be lost, and they will also be the ministers of the country, Gong Shenyi did not speak, he secretly thought about this matter in his heart, in the Xingwang Mansion, his life was saved by the King of Wei, and now he is broken bones to repay the grace of the King of Wei, at this moment Gong Shenyi's eyes bloomed with a firm light.
"The general trend of the world, together for a long time, must be divided, and for a long time, it must be united." Gong Shenyi muttered, this sentence was originally said to him by Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wei, and he thought that since this is the case, he will also follow the situation, this Li Congqing is not a master, so even if Li Yu regains the throne, the national glory of the Tang Dynasty will not be long.
Han Xizai noticed the change in Gong Shenyi's face, he nodded to him, and then Han Xizai walked next to another official, this person was Xu Xuan, Xu Xuan's face was even more frowned, he had a lot of complaints about Li Congqing, now Li Congqing is seriously ill in bed, and there are Three Kingdoms Alliance troops outside the city besieging the capital of Tang State, the situation is not optimistic, this city is afraid that it will be broken under the Song, Han, and Wu Yue armies, Xu Xuan saw Han Xizai approaching his side at this moment, and then he whispered in his ear: Dingchen, Taoist, The mother of heaven and earth, you think that the father and son are divided into two families, but what? One surname in the world, on the side of the couch, no one is allowed to sleep soundly!
Han Xizai's words were the original words of Zhao Kuangyin's holy decree, and at this moment he conveyed this sentence to Xu Xuan, and its meaning was already very obvious. After hearing this, Xu Xuan's body trembled, but fortunately, he recovered very quickly and did not let other officials see the unnaturalness of his expression. Immediately, Xu Xuan looked at Han Xizai, who was more respected than himself, and there was a trace of suspicion in his eyebrows, but Han Xizai on the other side was still calm, and he smiled at Xu Xuan.
On the side of the couch, no one is allowed to sleep soundly. The first time he heard it, Xu Xuan didn't know what Han Xizai meant by saying this, but he chewed this sentence carefully, now the situation is very unfavorable for the Tang Kingdom, and it is rumored that the lord of the country Li Yu is in Kaifeng, if this is really the case, I am afraid that there will be no successor to the Tang Dynasty, and Han Xizai's words are like a thousand catties of heavy objects, and they hit Xu Xuan's heart hard.
Xu Xuan's body drooped, his eyes looked around, and the faces of the other ministers were all uneasy, anxious, and also had their own thoughts, they didn't know what to do next. Only Han Xizai's face was as calm as autumn water, and there was a faint smile in the calm.
Xu Xuan opened his mouth, and stopped talking, the current situation is a little delicate, and everyone has their own ghosts in their hearts, I don't know what they are thinking.
Pan You and Li Ping, who were standing behind Xu Xuan, were talking to each other, looking like they were in pain, and now Datang Guoyun is like this? Under the siege of the Three Kingdoms, if Li Congqing dies, the situation in the Tang Dynasty is about to collapse, and they don't know where this Li Yu is staying, Pan You said in his heart: He calls me him, I also call him him, he calls himself me, I also call myself me, and I don't know who is him, who is me?
Sometimes people's own strength can't change the phenomenon of decline, he Pan You originally planned to mention to Li Congqing the matter of changing the law to become stronger, but now, the situation in Datang is no longer something that can be solved by the Tang people themselves, Pan You and Li Ping felt some sad looks in their hearts, as dark as this night, full of despair.
The minds of all the officials are changing, at this moment, suddenly there is a Tang army forbidden army rushing to the Zhaoqing Palace, he is panting as he runs, and when he sees the officials outside the Zhaoqing Palace, he directly stepped forward and shouted: "Oh no, some of the generals of our army have rebelled, and my elite forbidden army of the Tang Dynasty has also been controlled, and now they are pouring into the palace, and they are coming to this place, demanding the abolition of the emperor." ”
As soon as the forbidden army finished speaking, the officials standing outside the Zhaoqing Hall began to panic when they heard it, and now Li Congqing in the Zhaoqing Hall is unconscious, but they have no way to do it, not to mention that the forbidden army guarding the safety of the Tang Dynasty has rebelled, and now they are entering the palace, if they want to transfer troops now, I am afraid they will have to go out of the palace to mobilize other troops, but they don't know what to do, they are civil officials after all, and I don't know if those military attaches will be even more crazy when they kill people.
At this moment, Han Xizai walked out of the queue, he squeezed his brows, and asked the head of the forbidden army, "Who is the leader?" ”
This forbidden army all looked at Han Xizai, and he immediately said, "It's Lin Renzhao." ”
"Oh?" Han Xizai hummed deliberately, and the forbidden army on the opposite side lowered his head, and then left in a hurry, and when he walked to the corner of the palace wall in the distance, he looked in the direction of Zhaoqing Palace, and then walked towards Lin Renzhao's army.
The rest of the officials for Lin Renzhao are through the front-line military newspaper, but everyone does not know how Lin Renzhao entered the city, according to the news in the military newspaper, Lin Renzhao's Runzhou army should have disappeared near Zhongshan for a long time, when the Tang army searched for a long time, did not find the whereabouts of Lin Renzhao's army, but now it suddenly appeared in the palace, which was unexpectedly fast, and everyone's hearts were also tense.
Han Xizai looked at Xu Xuan, Gong Chengshu, Pan You and others, and he said loudly: "In this case, please listen to me, we should adapt to the situation and surrender in Kaesong, why die in vain." ”
Han Xizai's voice was very loud, which made the people present also shocked, and then some of these officials said directly, they were all so full of money that they were about to spit saliva on Han Xizai's face: "Han Xizai, you villain, actually said such a rebellious thing, are you still a courtier of the Tang Dynasty?" ”
Gong Shenyi on the side said: "If it weren't for Li Congqing, would my Tang army have collapsed again and again, Lin Renzhao would have attacked the palace so quickly, would Li Tang have been like this?" What do you think? ”
After listening to Gong Shenyi's words, the rest of the officials also thought for a long time below, the people who were officials were not stupid, and they could still guess a few points about the connection.
Some officials whispered at the bottom: "It seems that the rumors are true, our lord is not dead, but in Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo, if so, then"
"Pedanc, now that the Tang Dynasty has been shaken, who can guarantee that the house will not be blown down by the wind and rain, if the forbidden army captures the palace, what should we do?" The official who said this was looking at Han Xizai with his spare eyes at the moment, and when Han Xizai saw him, he also took a quick look at this person from the corner of his eye.
Han Xizai said directly: "Li Tang is like a decayed house, unless it has to be demolished to build a new one, I think you also understand what I mean." ”
At this moment, Gong Shenyi saw that the officials outside the hall were all bowing their eyebrows and secretly thinking, as if they were undecided, so he said: "Li Tang is like this, do we still need to be loyal?" If you plan to flee, you can flee now, or when the time comes, those who do not return will be killed. ”
"This Lin Renzhao will not give up, after all, he used to be a courtier of the Tang Dynasty."
"He was once a native of Fujian?"
Some of the officials' bodies trembled a little, and their limbs seemed to tremble with them.
Although standing behind the palace wall, there are dozens of walls across the walls of the imperial city, but at this moment, the officials standing outside the Zhaoqing Hall heard the sound of neat and uniform footsteps and the sound of weapons in their hands in the distance, although the breeze in the air at this moment was a little cool at night, but it was like a trace of cold in the winter in everyone's hearts.
Is it to flee, to surrender, or to insult resistance? The moment he walked out of the door, he suddenly took out a copper lock from the cuff, and then "clicked", and the copper lock locked the door.
This change made some officials unclear, but the chamberlain hugged his fist at Han Xizai: "Han Shangshu, now that Li Congqing is in the palace, Xiao Di has completed his task according to the instructions." ”
"If you have worked, Chitose will not forget your great kindness."
