Chapter 166: The Emperor is angry
At the end of the meeting, Wang Xu announced the adjournment.
From now on, everyone is busy in the middle of their lives, especially Jia Hui and Li Zhi, the two of them have to post a list to recruit talents, and set up Wenyuan Pavilion and Wuying Palace, which can be said to have a long way to go.
Wang Xu has been the king for several days, but the streets and alleys are still lively and jubilant; The hearts of the people are still thinking about the policy of exempting all taxes, and they can't help but talk to their neighbors, and the focus of the conversation is the new 'King Wen'.
Wang Xu set himself up as the king, this news can be described as a thunderbolt on this continent, making everyone open their mouths wide, from ancient times to the present, who dares to rebel? The imperial court has millions of soldiers! Isn't it so easy to deal with, isn't this looking for death?
A few days later, the news reached Languan, and the angry Lu Yang directly knocked over several wooden tables, as soon as Wang Xu became the king, then what should he do as the king of Guxi, the so-called one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, Wang Xu is the king, then he, the king of Guxi, will be worth less immediately.
While being angry, he was also slightly shocked, Wang Xu dared to call himself the king privately, this is an open rebellion! Fighting against the imperial court, the courage is really not small.
Yuan Qiang said: "General, this Wang Xu's intentions are very sinister, he is going to kill us." ”
Lu Yang frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about?" It's him who rebelled, it's not me, it's him who should be damned. ”
Yuan Qiang said: "General, the news of his rebellion will soon reach the imperial capital, so can the court let him go?" Troops will inevitably be sent to fight. ”
"And we, who helped Wang Xu kill Zhou Yi earlier, are already rebellious, and now there is no will of the imperial court, and the general claims to be the king privately, and he also occupies nineteen cities, in the eyes of the imperial court, how are we different from Wang Xu?"
"What's more, our nineteen cities are between the royal city and the imperial court, and the imperial court wants to send troops to the royal city. It must pass through our territory, general, please think about it, will the court talk to us about peace and use the road to pass the customs? The last general guessed that we would probably become Wang Xujun's shield. Inevitably fighting with the imperial court. ”
The more Lu Yang listened, the more frightened he became, until he finally realized that Wang Xu was insidious, a bastard, it seems that this bad has not been held back for a day or two. He has long turned himself into his shield.
"Damn!"
Lu Yang thought about it for a long time, and then said: "Go, write a note, send a messenger, and beg to surrender to the court, I, Lu Yang, will never be someone else's shield!" ”
"No."
At this time, a soldier ran in and saluted Lu Yang: "Report, there are two people from outside the city, saying that they are Wang Xujun's envoys." Request an audience with the General. ”
Lu Yang was angry at the moment, how could he be in the mood to see any messenger, and immediately said: "No, blast those two away for me." ”
The soldier departed as promised.
Lu Yang snorted coldly: "If you want me to let Liao Yun and Zhang Xue go, he Wang Xu doesn't think that if I become a shield, then his wife will become my shield, and everyone will die together!" ”
After a while, the two brocade guards were driven away, but the two did not return to the Western Capital City. Instead, they sneaked into Languan City, and the purpose of the two was obvious, that is, to see the situation of Liao Yun and Zhang Xue in person, if there was a chance. Waiting for the opportunity to rescue.
This is a difficult task, an extreme challenge, and it is likely to die, but the two are not afraid, the two know the importance of Liao Yun and Zhang Xue, if they are rescued. That Jinyi Wei General Flag is a trivial matter, maybe it will be reused by Wang Xu.
The so-called wealth is in danger, and the two decided to fight!
................
Imperial capital.
Hearing the news of Wang Xu's claim to be king, the emperor laughed dumbly, how many years, no one has ever dared to offend the majesty of the imperial court so much, and openly rebelled, this is really beyond his strength!
On the Jinluan Palace, the emperor said: "Wang Xu, dare to call the king without authorization, if you don't get rid of it, how can I revitalize the dynasty?" ”
Now Yu Yuan's injury has improved a lot, although he can't fight on the battlefield, but the last dynasty is still no problem, Yu Yuan came out and said: "The old minister asks for the guilt, if it weren't for the old minister's injury and delayed the fighter, why would the thieves be so rampant." ”
"The old general doesn't have to be polite." The emperor waved his hand, and then said: "Let's make the thieves happy for a few months, in the spring of next year, I will order you to complete the army of 300,000... No, the whole army of 500,000 troops, sent troops to Guxi County, and completely exterminated Wang Xu, let everyone know that the majesty of the imperial court should not be offended, and let the people of the world see what the end of the rebellion is! ”
Yu Yuan knelt down and said, "The old minister obeys!" ”
As a general, Ao Yuntian has been paying attention to Guxi County, and at this time, he came out and said: "Your Majesty, there is still a group of thieves in Guxi County, and the old minister thinks that he can subdue it, and at the same time orders him and the imperial army to go out to fight against Wang Xu and make the merit for his crimes." ”
"And the anti-thief? Who, it's the one named Lu Yang, right? The Emperor said.
Ao Yuntian said: "Exactly, Lu Yang and Wang Xu defeated Zhou Yi, and then occupied the nineteen cities of Guxi County, and now, he is garrisoning in Languan and calling himself the King of Guxi." ”
"Bold." The emperor was furious, and the bold thieves were one after another, Zhou Yi before, followed by Wang Xu, and then Lu Yang.
"Spread my will, eliminate all these rebels, leave no one behind, let everyone in the world know that there is only one way to die against me!"
The Manchu Dynasty civil and military subdued the order.
However, in the next second, Prime Minister Yang Mingyue came out to oppose it, and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that it is really the best policy to take the general's suggestion to surrender Lu Yang and destroy Wang Xu!" ”
The emperor was domineering and leaked, and pointed at Yang Mingyue and scolded him fiercely.
"You shut up to me, I just listened to your advice to pardon Zhou Yi, but what is the result? It's only been a long time since it attracted two slopes of thieves. ”
"Give me a decree to the world, I will never forgive the thief, once caught, all of them will be beheaded, and the nine clans will be connected!"
Seeing that the emperor was really angry, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty trembled and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty is wise." ”
Ao Yuntian and Yang Mingyue glanced at each other, and finally stepped aside.
The early dynasty dispersed like this, but after a while, Lu Yang's envoy came, and the envoy first went to meet Ao Yuntian, because Ao Yuntian is the general of the empire and has this power, but unfortunately, the emperor has personally decreed this matter, and he does not dare to make his own claim.
Bringing the envoy to the emperor's palace, Ao Yuntian met with the emperor, and the emperor was hugging the left and right at this time, and he was in a good mood, but he was suddenly interrupted, and he was very displeased.
Ao Yuntian explained his intention, and the emperor said: "Lu Yang is a thief, not only does he want me to forgive him, but he also wants me to make him the king of Guxi, he doesn't want to!" ”
"If the thieves can all surrender, then there will be countless thieves in the world, as long as the imperial army arrives, they will surrender, then will I have a free life in the future?"
Ao Yuntian wanted to continue to persuade, but the emperor waved his hand.
"Someone."
The two royal guards came over, and the emperor said: "Pull this messenger to the noon gate, cut it with a thousand knives, and use this to warn the people of the world, this is the end of the thief." ”
"Your Majesty, spare your life..." The messenger shouted.
But alas, the emperor had made up his mind and could not change it, and soon the envoy was dragged down.
"Send a message to me Yu Yuan, after the spring of next year, destroy Lu Yang first, take Wang Xu second, and within three months, sweep away all the thieves in Guxi County!"
Ao Yuntian sighed, and finally retreated, in fact, he also felt that the emperor's approach was very right, otherwise it was not enough to establish the country; However, wouldn't it be better to surrender Lu Yang and destroy Wang Xu, not only to make Lu Yang grateful to Dade, but also to let the people of the world see the majesty of the imperial court, besides, everyone has come to surrender, you still kill, aren't you forcing the thief to a dead end, you must know that the rabbit is in a hurry and wants people.
