Seeing that the captain refused to say whether he was alive or dead, Tao Jinshan said to him lightly: "I have been guarding against you for a long time, if it weren't for the fact that I wanted to keep a living mouth and explain to General Li in person, with my temper, you would have seen the king of Hades a long time ago." I expected you to die and didn't admit it, so I deliberately asked my men to bring back another pawn with me. Since you don't want to say it, then I'll find someone who is willing to say it, and there is no need to keep your life. Come on, drag it down, kill it! ”

Tao Jinshan said the word killing, it was so easy and casual, and the killing in the small courtyard was so decisive, three or five people were splashed with blood in five steps, and the heads of people fell to the ground, and the other party's eyes didn't blink. The lieutenant is also an alert person, he has a little eyesight, he can see that the other party does not take his life and identity in his eyes at all, and when he sees two people coming in, he is about to drag him away, he hurriedly crawls to Li Jinyan's side, grabs his leg and says: "Commander, your father was not beaten by me, but by Xiao Ergou." It has nothing to do with me. Governor, you have to save the little one. Help me! ”

Li Jinyan heard the shameless begging of himself, how hateful and hateful that face was. He kicked him away and twisted his head to the side, unwilling to pay any more attention to him.

Seeing this, Zhang Cheng nodded at Tao Jinshan, and Tao Jinshan led someone to pull the captain down.

There were only Zhang Cheng and Li Jinyan in the room, Zhang Cheng sat there quietly, drinking the Ming Qian Qing tea in his hand, looking relaxed. On the contrary, Li Jinyan was preoccupied, he looked at Zhang Cheng for a long time, and then sighed: "Thank you General for saving my father's life, what do you want, please say." ”

"You're a smart man, and you should know what I think." Zhang Cheng said lightly.

"You want me to help you control the Fruit Army?" Li Jinyan asked tentatively.

"Sure enough, you are a smart man, I know that your father had a quarrel with someone, a death fight, and even a manslaughter, and you have always wanted to help your father get out of prison. It's just that as a guard of the forbidden army, he has not been able to make contributions to the court. If you help me control the Xiaoguo Army and take the opportunity to make trouble, it will definitely be a great achievement for the new emperor to ascend the throne. Then the new emperor will pardon your father's capital sin. Zhang Cheng said to Li Jinyan step by step.

After a pause, he said: "Don't look at the Xiaoguo Army as if it is powerful, but in my eyes, it is nothing more than that. Most of the governors are good at military strategy, but they are not a good emperor after all. Cheng is particularly favored by Shang Shuling, and he will inevitably be appointed as the prince, and he will inevitably be the next emperor. You won't end well with the Governor. Cheng Shide is a snarky person and narrow-minded, you have been the commander under him for so many years, has he ever regarded you as a confidant? On the contrary, because you are too stubborn, he makes things difficult for you at every turn. One day, you will die above his narrowness. You are from a cloth background, and it is not easy to achieve the position of commander. Do you want to destroy your future? Since ancient times, good birds have chosen trees to perch, why not find another master? ”

At this time, when Li Jinyan was hesitant, his father woke up slowly, just heard Zhang Cheng's words, he did it painfully, Li Jinyan hurriedly did it to his side, Li's father pulled Li Jinyan and said: "Child, for the sake of my father's life, don't worry." If you die, you die, but you're different. We ordinary people only know one thing, that is, the grace of a drop of water, the spring reciprocates. You are loyal to the Xiaoguo Army, and they will threaten you with me as a hostage! I'm going to kill you one day! Child! My Li family only has one seedling, you have to live a good life! ”

Listening to Li's father's simple words, Zhang Cheng was moved by the hearts of parents all over the world. He sighed in his heart and turned around to leave, but Li Jinyan stopped him, turned his back to Zhang Cheng and said: "I can help you control the Xiaoguo Army, and even help you take the head of Cheng Shide's dog thief, but you must guarantee that my father will be returned to life." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Cheng said sonorously: "I promise!" ”

The tide rises and falls, the moon sets and the sun rises, and the moment the midwinter sun jumps out of the horizon, a new day begins. And this day, the eighth day of the lunar month in 622 years of the Great Qianli calendar, is a day that is enough to go down in history. The Great Qian, which has been handed down for more than 600 years, is about to come to an end on this day. The last emperor of the Great Qian Empire, Emperor Qianai, will announce to the world that Chan is located in Prime Minister Zhao Mu.

In front of the Taiji Palace, the eunuch was on the top of the jade steps and shouted: "The emperor has arrived, and the ministers are in the early dynasty!" Xuan Baiguan enters the palace! ”

The weak little emperor sat on top of the golden palace, tremblingly looking at that special position, where sat an old man, he was in a wheelchair, haggard, pale prime minister, this old man who had been in charge of the Daqian court for more than 30 years, did not dare to say a word.

Below, the civil officials were headed by Xiao Zhongchang in Zhongshu, Zhao Jingyu was tied in Shangshu, and the military attache was headed by Zhao Hui, which stood on both sides. All of them were in awe.

The emperor's attendant eunuch Guo Chunhai handed Prime Minister Zhao Mu an inquiring look, Zhao Mu nodded weakly, and the attendant eunuch immediately stood up straight and shouted at the hundred officials below: "Emperor Xuan's edict!" ”

The little eunuch next to him came over with a brocade box and handed it to the attendant eunuch, who took out the edict from the brocade box and unfolded it.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said: Gaozu helped the world in the troubled times, and together with the rivers and mountains of the Great Qian Empire, it was handed down for 600 years to my hands. However, since I ascended the throne, I have rarely made merit in the world, and I am not equipped with virtue and ability, so that the outline often collapses, and the etiquette and music are not happy; First, there was internal strife in the court, and then there were external troubles in the wilderness, so that there were wars in all directions, and the war continued, and the people suffered a lot, which is my fault. Prime Minister Zhao Murende spread all over the world, surrendered to the four seas, saved the people in the midst of fire and water, saved the people upside down, the luck of the sky, the luck of me, the luck of the world. I have no words to my ancestors and ancestors, and I have no face to the people of the world, I am no longer worthy of the emperor's throne, and the weight of the society; Therefore, on the eighth day of the lunar month in 622 years of the Great Qianli calendar, Zen was located in the prime minister, Zhao Mu. Chin this! ”

Zhao Mu sat in a wheelchair and reluctantly thanked him. The ministers barely knelt on the ground and bowed their heads.

The little emperor received this worship, and then got off the dragon chair and stood under the court.

Zhao Mu, with the help of his attendants, sat on the dragon chair, and his deep voice sounded in the Golden Palace: "The credit of me is the work of the ministers. Thank you! ”

Long live the ministers.

"From now on, Meng Yu Feng Lingyang Bo, living in Lingzhou, will never leave without permission. Start now, don't make a mistake. Zhao Mu said in a deep voice again.

Meng Yu knelt down to thank him, and then withdrew from the Taiji Palace, so far the Great Qian Empire was completely finished and withdrew from the historical stage.

Zhang Cheng saw this emperor Xiao Suo leaving the Taiji Palace, and he also had a trace of sadness in his heart. Of course, this is just a kind of sympathy for Meng Yu.

"From now on, change the name of the country to Chu and announce it to the world! Tomorrow, the enthronement ceremony, the canonization of the prince, amnesty to the world! Let's retreat. Zhao Mu finally said.

The ministers fell to their knees again and shouted.

At the end of the court meeting, the emperor of the Daqian Empire abdicated, and Chan gave way to Prime Minister Zhao Mu, and the people all applauded and applauded, and firecrackers rang out. Big fish and big meat toast each other. brought a touch of cheerfulness to the tense and bloody atmosphere of Los Angeles.

It can be seen that the defeat of the Great Qian Empire and Zhao Mu's title to emperor are also expected.

What people didn't expect was that Lingyang Bo Mengyu and hundreds of his relatives had just left the city for dozens of miles, when they were caught up by Zhou Bingyan, who had received the holy decree, and hundreds of people died in the wilderness

That night, Zhao Mu stayed in the Chunhua Palace, and the Qianniu Army was ordered to guard the inner palace. Ye Xun, the general of Qianniuwei, changed the inner attendant car with a lot of people, and at the same time sent many guards to guard the Chunhua Palace.

Zhao Mu had just drunk the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, felt a little more comfortable in his body, and lay on the kang and took a nap. At this time, Guo Chunhai, the chief eunuch of the inner chamberlain, came to Zhao Mu's side in three steps and made two steps, and whispered to Zhao Mu.

Zhao Mu woke up slowly, he saw that it was Guo Chunhai, he was a little surprised, he had already asked him to go down to rest just now, why did he suddenly turn back again, so he asked, "Chunhai, why are you back again?" You're tired from the day too, so rest early! Tomorrow you have to go to court with me, and you are busy. ”

"Your Majesty, the old slave doesn't dare to slack off a little. Just now, the old slave led a few attendants below and walked out of the Chunhua Palace, and saw that many of the attendants had been replaced, and the guards on duty in the Chunhua Hall on weekdays had been replaced. The inner servant and the guard on duty are your most intimate, the matter of removing the guard, the old slave has never heard His Majesty talk about it, the old slave feels that there is something wrong with this matter, so he turned back and told you. Guo Chunhai bowed his head and lowered his voice and said to Zhao Mu.

When Zhao Mu heard this, he immediately sat up straight, coughed for a while, his eyes flickered, and his heart turned. Ye Xun privately removed the chamberlain and the guard, he must have had different ambitions, so the plan he had been planning for a long time was probably about to change drastically. After thinking about it carefully, he asked Guo Chunhai to bring two blank edicts, quickly wrote a few lines on them, and ordered Guo Chunhai to bring the jade seal, and after stamping the big seal, he said to him: "It happened suddenly, and I had to do this." You quickly hand over this secret edict to Zhang Cheng, the general of the Yulin Army, and he naturally knows what to do after reading it. After doing this, you immediately go to Hui'er's Mansion in person and ask him to come to see me!" It's urgent, please! ”

Guo Chunhai bowed his head, and he promised: "Without Your Majesty, there would be no old slave today." If you hadn't saved the old slave from Lingyang Bo back then, the old slave's cheap life would have been gone long ago. His Majesty entrusted the old slave with a heavy responsibility, and the old slave was broken to pieces, and he did not hesitate to do so. ”

"Alright, let's go!" Zhao Mu patted his hand and asked him to leave.

Guo Chunhai took the secret edict into his arms, calmed down his mind, pretended to be fine, left the Chunhua Palace, and went to the Prison Palace. After the prison hall, there is the back door of the palace, so as to avoid being checked by too many guards. But he still encountered a lot of guards, but Guo Chunhai, as the chief eunuch of the internal servants, served as the fifth grade. It was a red man in front of the new emperor again, and those guards didn't know how powerful it was, so they mostly asked where to go, and let him leave without much difficulty. Along the way, Guo Chunhai's official uniform was soaked with cold sweat on his back.

Guo Chunhai took a set of civilian clothes in the prison hall, walked out of the back door of the palace, stood at the door and muttered: "Fortunately, I didn't meet Ye Xun, with his shrewdness, he must not be so easy to mix." Your Majesty, you really gave the old slave an unclear task. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he calmed down his somewhat panicked mind again, looked at the sky, and went straight to Suzaku Street
