Chapter 401: The First Change (The Dragon Boat Festival is coming)
When the emperor heard this, his old body suddenly shook. His eyes were slightly drooping, and his face was not lazy, but Lu Heng, who was beside him, keenly noticed that the emperor's fists suddenly clenched after hearing this person's words.
In fact, if you throw out the personal honor and disgrace that you are worried about, this kind of treatment is indeed a good way. Take advantage of the fact that the opponent's wings are not yet full, and they are extremely defenseless. Take it in one fell swoop, and then change it to the one who is exiled, and exile the one who should be exiled. As long as public opinion is well controlled, it will indeed save a lot of trouble.
But to persecute an old man who is dying so much and kill his son, hey......
It's hard!
Lu Heng wanted to echo and persuade the emperor.
But when he saw the old man beside him, the painful look that he tried to hide was swallowed back again.
The room was silent.
Only the crackling sound of the oil lamps and the dim lights of the time.
All the ministers looked solemnly at His Majesty the Emperor on the throne, waiting for his final decision.
"Zhanxiong!"
After a long time, the emperor, who was leaning back in the chair with his eyes closed, said two words weakly.
"Yes!" Standing solemnly aside, Zhanxiong, who was dressed in military uniform, stepped forward, touched his chest with one hand, and gave a military salute. Get down on one knee and wait for the emperor's words.
"Go ahead!" The emperor trembled his hands, took out the written edict from his arms, threw it on the ground, and said lightly.
"Yes!" Zhanxiong put away his hand, stood up, and strode towards the door.
At this moment, suddenly outside the door, there was a violent explosion. The earth shook and the mountains shook, and the fire rose to the sky.
Then, there was a terrifying killing cry, which sounded at the gate outside the mansion.
The courtiers in the room were so frightened by the earth-shattering loud noise and the noisy killing cry that they turned pale and stood up. Frightened to look out the door.
Lu Heng, who was in the seat, frowned after hearing this voice. My heart sank suddenly, and it was terrible.
He turned his head and glanced at the emperor beside him. I saw that the emperor's eyes drooped slightly, and his eyes flashed. The face was gloomy and terrible.
Obviously, the emperor also thought that this loud noise, as well as the dead soldier who killed the door, was probably sent by the King of Jin.
At this moment, a bloodied Qianniuwei rushed in with scars all over his body.
The guards in the room were taken aback when they saw a bloody warrior rushing in, and while his face changed slightly, he pulled out a steel knife and protected it in front of the emperor.
"Commander Zhang, what's going on?" The Emperor waved his hand and asked Ouchi's guards to put down their swords. Leaning forward, the tiger glanced at the person and asked.
The strong man who rushed in wiped his hands and wiped the blood stains on his face, panted, raised his head, looked at the emperor and said eagerly: "Your Majesty, there are a large number of unidentified dead soldiers storming the door of the mansion. Please return to the palace immediately!! ”
"How many?" Lu Heng frowned and asked.
"Not less than five hundred. The combat effectiveness is extremely strong. Minister, I'm afraid I can't resist it! After Commander Zhang returned the salute, he persuaded the emperor again: "Your Majesty please return to the palace immediately!" ”
"Your Majesty, go back to the palace!"
The courtiers, after hearing the news that a large number of dead soldiers had stormed the door of the palace with the intention of assassinating the emperor, their faces changed, and after glancing at each other, they all walked up to the emperor and begged the emperor to return to the palace immediately.
"I'm not going anywhere!" The Emperor sneered, leaned back in his chair, and shook his head.
"Your Majesty!" The courtiers knelt down one after another, kowtowed and asked the emperor to return to the palace immediately.
"I said, I'm not going anywhere!" The emperor seemed to be iron-hearted, and sat still in his chair.
"Lord Lu!" Seeing that the emperor was unmoved, the courtiers had no choice but to set their eyes on Lu Heng. In the room, it seems that except for the emperor, Lu Heng has the highest status, and as an emperor, his words are naturally heavier.
Seeing that the ministers set their eyes on themselves with hope, they wanted to persuade the emperor.
Lu Heng shook his head and smiled, coughed, turned his head, looked at the emperor and said, "Why don't you go back?" ”
The emperor opened his eyes, and after giving Lu Heng a blank look, he continued to close his eyes and pretend to sleep.
"Ahem, okay, since you don't want to go back, why don't we go out and have a look together?" Lu Heng rubbed his forehead helplessly, put down the teacup in his hand, and said to the emperor with a smile.
"Master Lu, how can you ......?"
Seeing that Lu Heng not only did not persuade the emperor to return to the palace, but instead instigated the emperor to wade into danger, the courtiers were suddenly anxious and looked at Lu Heng angrily. …,
Being stared at by so many angry eyes, Lu Heng also felt that his scalp was troublesome.
In desperation, I had to show them the hole cards.
"Your Excellency, don't panic, there are more than 100 officers and soldiers of the Snow Wolf Battalion in the house, as well as more than 50 Qianniu guards guarding it. It's safe. Besides, the Admiral of the Nine Gates will be killed in a moment. The 500 dead soldiers outside the door will soon become 500 dead corpses! ”
After explaining to the adults with a smile, Lu Heng turned his head and said to Zhan Xiong, who was standing at the door: "General Zhan, let your people act!" “
"Yes!" Zhanxiong touched his chest with one hand, his eyes flooded with admiration, and bowed down. Turned and walked out of the room. Outside, with Zhanxiong's loud flute chirping.
Then I heard the sound of swords and soldiers clashing, and the sound of loud footsteps sounded outside the door.
Hundreds of soldiers of the Snow Wolf Battalion, heavily armed, completed the assembly in the blink of an eye.
I saw the first elite troops of Da Zhou and appeared outside the door. The courtiers were horrified and didn't even close their mouths.
"This, this is ・・・・・・" The military boss who was the first to speak, looked out of the door dumbfounded, and the soldier in iron clothes pointed out. Turning his head, he stammered and looked at Lu Heng.
Seeing this old man's shocked expression, Lu Heng knew what he wanted to ask, it was nothing more than why did Lord Lu know that it would happen sometime tonight.
"There's always something to be done!" Picked up the tea station, took a sip, and said with a slight smile.
Beside him, the emperor opened his eyes slightly, glanced at Lu Heng, leaned over, and said in a low voice: "I know, you kid must be prepared!" ”
"That's nature, don't fight unprepared battles!" He Heng picked up the teapot, filled it with a cup for the emperor, and said with a smile.
A few days ago, after the emperor issued a holy decree of donations from the kings and vigorously built momentum for King Zheng, Lu Heng faintly felt that things seemed to be ahead of schedule, and after observing the reaction of King Jin. Lu Heng decisively ordered Zhanxiong to move directly into the mansion with the Snow Wolf Camp. Just in case.
Unexpectedly, King Jin really has a kind. will really send people to attack their mansions directly.
Moreover, I have to say that King Jin's luck is really good. If you gamble, you can bet on such a big game, and even the emperor has gambled on it.
The old man of the emperor was unlucky, just in time.
"So, I'm being implicated by your kid?" Once it really happens, the worries and worries in my heart disappear.
Just now, the emperor was still worried about whether to give an order to arrest the king of Jin. At this time, King Jin took the lead in tearing his face and breaking the balance. The hesitation in his heart also dissipated.
At this time, listening to the louder and louder shouts of killing outside, the emperor smiled, turned his head, and looked at Lu Heng. said with a smile.
Lu Heng smiled, shook his head and said: "How can it be said that it is a burden, old man, you are the boss, since you are the boss, you must have the consciousness of carrying the black pot for the people under you!" ”
The emperor was drinking water from a cup, and when he suddenly heard Lu Heng's words, he couldn't help but squirt out.
I wanted to scold him, but when I think about it, it seems that this sentence is a little rougher. But it really makes sense.
For so many years, the emperor dealt with foreign vassals. I've been through a lot of things.
For example, the last time a Turkic envoy came. But Xiao Dapeng, who was filled with righteous indignation, took people and secretly blocked them at the post station and beat them up.
Enraged, the Turkic envoys threatened the emperor to hand over the murderer.
The emperor was also indignant and promised to severely punish the murderer once he found out.
In the end, the emperor found a death row prisoner in the prison and executed the prisoner in front of the Turkic envoys.
Only then did a conflict between the two countries be averted.
Although, afterwards, the emperor scolded Xiao Dapeng for being bloody. However, at that time, he still carried the black cauldron for Xiao Dapeng.
Now, listening to Lu Heng, when you are the boss, you have to bear the black pot for your subordinates. The emperor thought about it carefully, and he really reasoned.
"Makes sense!"
The emperor stretched out his thumb and said to Lu Heng with a smile.
In front of the courtiers, the two huddled together and muttered.
Below, the courtiers, with a curious glint in their eyes, looked at these two openly deserted people, and their hearts were full of suspicion.
No, more people saw Lu Heng and the emperor have such a good personal relationship. The envy, jealousy, and hatred in my heart.
After Zhanxiong led people out, the fighting quickly subsided. About a quarter of an hour later, the door creaked open, and Zhanxiong, who was covered in blood, walked in with a chilling killing aura.
"Your Majesty, all the five hundred rebels outside the gate have been killed!" Zhanxiong stroked his chest with one hand and reported the results in a deep voice.
Looking at the blood on General Zhan's body, and the murderous look in his eyes, the officials who were doing it were suddenly awe-inspiring.
There is no vanity under the fame, the snow wolf camp, it is really worthy of its reputation!
In less than a fraction of a moment, the situation was already under control. The title of the first elite of the Great Zhou is really not in vain.
"Is there any alive?" Lu Heng thought for a moment and asked.
"Hui Junshi, these five hundred are dead soldiers who have been specially trained, and they will not surrender if they die, so they ......" Zhanxiong scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a smile.
"If not, forget it!" Lu Heng waved his hand unmindfully and said with a smile.
Originally, if there was a job, Lu Heng also wanted to pry open this person's mouth and ask about the escape route of the King of Xia Jin. Still, to die is to die. As the saying goes, a monk can't run the temple if he can run,
No matter how much King Jin runs, he can only run to Shanxi. As long as the army is pressing. King Jin is still in trouble.
Not to mention......
Lu Heng turned his head and glanced at the emperor beside him.
His nightingale is not a vegetarian either! Clear
