Chapter 379: White Tiger Hall (Middle + Lower)
Outside the White Tiger Festival Hall, torches lit up the sky, and clusters of knives and guns stood in a forest, flashing with a chilling light.
In the festival hall guarded by layers of guards, Han Qi stood on the right position, took out a yellow edict from his sleeve, swept around the soldiers in the hall with a cold gaze, and read in a deep voice with his hoarse and majestic voice:
"The edict is that Di Qing will deploy for the three divisions, control the forbidden army of the three divisions, add the rank of servant, and become the prince of the country. The former division of the palace where he left behind was temporarily led by Di Yong, and the imperial city commander was temporarily led by the imperial city commander Yu Hou Murong Weisu, who was here! β
"Chen Di Qing takes the order...... Di Qing stepped forward obediently and took the will with both hands.
When the people in the hall heard this will, they could not help but look at each other. There was no reaction from JΔ«lie, but he began to search his intestines and stomach, preparing to congratulate the marshal on his promotion later.
Seeing that Di Qing and the generals were very obedient, Han Xianggong's heart was completely settled, and the last trace of worry disappeared......
Han Xianggong's wrist is naturally a fairy fart - extraordinary. Di Qing had no reason not to accept this will he announced. In addition to the addition of officials and knights, the deployment of the three divisions has reached the apex of the warriors, that is the commander-in-chief of the three armies! The forbidden armies in the world are under his command.
And the son of the fairy has also been promoted, at the age of his early thirties, he became the palace marshal, the father and son are all high, and there are no two in the world!
It seems that he doesn't need to pay any generation, except for the command of the Imperial City Division and the deputy to act, but he is still under his jurisdiction.
In Han Qi's opinion, this is enough to lift Di Qing! It shouldn't cause a backlash from him...,"
As long as Di Qing accepts this appointment, then Murong Weisu, the old subordinate of the detaine, can take over the Imperial City Division, do you say that Murong will listen to Marshal Di, the commander-in-chief, or will he listen to him Han Xianggong?
As long as he takes over the imperial city and establishes Zhao Zongshi's succession, the army still listens to the Privy Council, and in the hands of civilian officials, Di Qing, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, can only be the ears of a deaf man, ornaments!
Take 10,000 steps back, even if Di Qing suddenly opens his mind and understands the joints, he will not dare to mess around. Otherwise, he will be taken down on the spot with the crime of "resisting the decree!" I don't believe that those generals dare to mess around!
Don't forget, this is the Great Song Dynasty, this is the era when military attaches are like slaves and slaves, these martial artists have long been broken and drained of bile, just a group of minions who are kneaded by civilian officials!
Even if they suddenly go crazy, Han Xianggong is not afraid, half of this full hall is his subordinates, and there is a top master by his side pretending to be an entourage, which is enough to deal with the worst changes.
The older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous they are. Han Xianggong cannot tolerate his own mistakes......
There was a snap and the lights went off. Let Han Xianggong wake up from the good feeling that everything is under control, and he saw Di Qing still standing there, holding the edict in both hands, looking in a daze.
"What's wrong?" Han Qi just let go of his heart, and chuckled again, saying that people are old, and they really shouldn't do this kind of business that is too prickly. A fast heartbeat alone can kill you.
"Prime Minister!" Di Qing almost turned the edict sideways and looked at it vertically, "Why isn't this edict written by the emperor himself?" β
"Hehe, Han Chen, what is the name of the edict without going through the Fengge Luantai?" Han Qi said with disdain in his heart, a martial artist is a martial artist, and he doesn't even understand this. He explained kindly: "Except for the middle decree, the two systems were written according to the holy will, and then handed over to the government hall for promulgation. He said with a faint smile: "I don't know anything else, you should know the emperor's seal above, this can't be faked, right?" β
"How dare the lower officials doubt their husbands." Di Qing still looked like he was submissive, and said with an embarrassed expression: "It's just that this edict is a contradiction with the good life received by the lower officials, six."
"What?" Han Qi's pores exploded all over his body, and he lost his voice: "When did you receive the order?" Why doesn't the government affairs hall know?! β
"Hehe," Di Qing's tone was very similar to Han Qi's: "Xianggong also said that there is a decree in addition to the imperial decree. It was written by the official family himself, and it went directly to the hands of the lower officials without going through the Chinese book. As he spoke, he took out a roll of yellow silk from his arms and unfolded it.
In front of everyone's eyes, Marshal Di's expression, demeanor, and momentum have completely changed!
was still shrouded by Han Qi's aura before, and the White Tiger Festival Hall was divided equally. I saw Di Qing unfold Huang Aya, and his eyes swept over the generals and said: "I have an official secret decree, everyone listen quietly!" β
The generals were already completely confused, so they had to bow their heads again and listen to them.
Han Qi was horrified and opened his mouth, but he could only let Di Qing finish reading it first. Then I heard his voice thunder and say:
"Di Qing, the special Pingzhang political affairs, is also in charge of the Imperial City Division and the front secretary of the palace.
This secret decree was like a thunderclap, shaking the souls of the generals in the hall, obviously, Han Xianggong and Marshal Di, there must be one of them lying!
Whoever it is, it's all a big deal,...
Han Qi was even more heartbroken, he never imagined that Zhao Zhen, an official who had always adhered to the way of checks and balances of his ancestors, would take such a big risk and tie his own net worth and life inside and outside the imperial city to this person's body!
The most trusted by the official family is not the civil official who rules the world with him, but the military general who has always been strictly guarded against in the Great Song Dynasty!
As everyone knows, it was the civil officials who didn't know what to do and what they didn't know how to do it, and they kicked their noses and faces, which hurt the benevolent hearts of the officials, so that he understood a truth: there is no absolutely reliable system in the world, but there are absolutely reliable people. When the system could not guarantee his own safety, he resolutely chose to put aside the ancestral law and believed in Di Qing's personal loyalty!
Now, it's time to test this trust, whether Zhao Zhen will lose everything, or win this last game, it all depends on Di Qing's performance!
In the White Tiger Hall, the atmosphere was so tense that it was suffocating.
Unexpectedly, after Di Qing read out the holy decree, he suddenly became impotent, and said to Han Qi with a distressed expression: "This decree was secretly granted to me by the official family at the same time as appointing the lower officials. Today, my husband announced such a will, isn't this inconsistent? It's really hard to figure out......" said and handed the two holy decrees to the generals below, "Everyone take a look at ......"
Han Qi was shocked, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Di Qing's gourd...... Could it be that this guy is really the reincarnation of a slug, and he can't harden it even if he has a secret decree in his hand, or does he know that his arms can't reach his legs, and he doesn't want to be infamous afterwards?
With his mind turning, Han Xianggong already has a plan - he must make a decision immediately and calm the audience. Then he said in a deep voice: "There is nothing strange, both wills are true. The reason why there is no personal decree..... After a pause, seeing that everyone was looking at him, he explained, "Because of the recurrence of the old illness of the official family, I can no longer get up, let alone write." The old man's will was also dictated by the official family before he fell into a coma! β
"I see." Murong Weisu and the other old ministers of Han Xiang had already noticed something, and they hurriedly echoed it.
"This is even more strange...... Di Qing frowned and said: "Tonight, there is a decree from the queen in the palace, and without her order, all doors are not allowed to be opened." As he spoke, he asked his herald, "Have the palace doors been opened?" β
"Nope!" The herald shouted.
"But things are coming out of the cracks in the door?" Di Qing asked.
"Neither!" The herald replied.
Di Qing looked at Han Qi and said, "That's really strange. The lower officials dared to ask, where did the edict of the prime minister come from? β
Han Qi's old face turned iron blue. He is a fool, and he knows that Di Qing is going to do it against him! Deng Shi hissed and sneered: "Hehe, is it necessary to explain to you the true appearance?" β
Di Qing thought about it, raised his head, looked at Han Qi and said, "Yes!" β
"Bold!" The obtuitary minister said angrily: "Di Hanchen, the prime minister is the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and the monarch is critically ill, so he is the regent!" You are a mere martial artist, you dare to disobey the order, and plot against you, do you want to rebel? β
In the face of Han Xianggong's anger, Di Hanchen served ninety-nine times, and he would immediately bow down and become small. But this time, it's an exception!
I saw Di Qing standing tall and taking a step forward, his burly body enveloping Han Qi, and a pair of tiger eyes swept him coldly and said, "Don't talk nonsense, say, where did that edict come from?!" β
Hearing the words "less nonsense, three words, Han Qi was tantamount to being slapped three times, and said angrily: "It's the other way around, take it for me!" β
As soon as the words fell, the chief next to him jumped out like a rabbit, and a short sword stabbed into Di Qing's lower abdomen.
"Good time!" But I forgot that Marshal Di was the general of Mian Ni who was killed by the sea of corpses and blood. Although he has not been in battle for many years, his skills have become more and more spicy. As soon as he snatched his hand, put on his dark cloak, and headed for the assassin's cover.
The long hand was extremely high, and he didn't change his moves, but instead stepped up to meet it. The whole person was like a javelin, using a short sword as the spear head, stabbing at Di Qing fiercely.
According to his thoughts, the cloak should be pierced like a broken silk, and there is no way to stop himself.
Who knew that the tip of his sword did not pierce the cloak, but wrapped his whole body in it.
The move of the flying immortal outside the sky was still unabated, and he rushed in front of Di Qing in a moment. It's just a cloak wrapped around it.
Di Qing turned sideways, and an elbow struck, hitting the man's back, and at the same time a knee was up, hitting him in the abdomen, only to hear a scream, the master fell to the ground like a sack, but he was wrapped in a cloak outside, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.
Han Xianggong is also in good shape, and he has taken advantage of this time to flash behind Murong Weisu, and seeing that his master is so useless, he hurriedly said loudly: "The generals listened to the order, Di Qing's rebellion was exposed, and the murderer was arrested." Whoever commits the murder will be promoted to the third level, and the one who will take it down will be the palace commander, and the one who adheres to it will be killed! β
Di Qing stood there, listening coldly to his words, before he took out the Qiushui Yanling knife on his waist and waved it under the light, the cold light was shining and majestic. He asked the generals in a deep voice: "Believe me, or believe him!" β
Now it's time to stand in line, and Han Qi's old subordinates are already standing quietly beside him.
Although because this is the White Tiger Festival Hall, except for Di Qing, everyone did not bring any weapons in their hands, but many people still took off their iron belts and drew daggers from their boots......
Di Qing's old subordinates also stood on his side, but these people were honest and unarmed, so they dismantled the jujube wood chair and confronted each other with the chair legs in hand.
There are also one-third of the generals, who do not belong to the generals on both sides, these people know best that one of these two people must rebel, but in the end, who will become the king and who will be defeated, it is impossible to say!
Their family has a big business, and they can't understand the situation in front of them, which one dares to stand aside easily?
"If you don't want to mix, go out!" Di Qing didn't embarrass them, and said in a deep voice.
Those who were pardoned hurried to the door.
But I heard Han Qi say quietly: "His Royal Highness King Lu is about to ascend to the pole, and if you don't make an inch, you will not be jealous of others when the time comes!" β
Some people stood still, but many left......
In the White Tiger Hall, the two groups of people stand opposite each other, and they are distinct. But Han Xianggong's side obviously has a numerical advantage.
"Got all chosen?" Di Qing held the knife indifferently and said coldly: "It's too late to regret it!" β
Han Qi looked left and right, the number of people on his side was more than twice that of Di Qing's side, and he made up his mind: "Take him down quickly!" β
The generals received the order and pounced forward, Di Qing waved his long knife, and forced a piece to retreat, and ordered: "Exit!" β
He was already standing closer to the door, and behind him were brothers in life and death for many years, and everyone listened to the order and withdrew from the door without hesitation.
Generalissimo Di danced a long knife like mercury, and none of them could get close. When all his men withdrew, he shouted: "Shut the door!" β
As soon as the words fell, I heard the rumbling hinge sound, and an iron gate slowly fell.
Han Qi was shocked when he saw this, "Don't let the door close!" β
But it was too late, and I saw Di Qing sweep through thousands of troops with one move, forcing everyone back, and then retreated.
The people inside rushed up to stop the gate from falling, but they saw a row of soldiers holding spears and stabbing through the gate.
An inch long and an inch strong, not to mention through the gate. Han Qi's people couldn't step forward at all, and they watched the gate fall with a bang!
The White Tiger Festival Hall is the important place of the military aircraft of the palace marshal's mansion, for the sake of secrecy, there are no windows on all sides, there is only one door, and there is an iron gate outside the door, which can be described as heavily guarded. Di Qing chose to receive the order here, and he definitely had the intention of catching turtles in the urn!
Seeing that he had been trapped, Han Qi separated from the generals, walked to the gate, and looked at Di Qing coldly.
Di Qing still maintained humility and said, "Today's facts are messing around. The duties of the subordinate officials are not careless. Please be patient in this White Tiger Hall for a while, Ming'er has figured out the matter, and I will make amends to you! After a pause, his eyes swept over the generals beside Han Qi and said: "As for you, I haven't talked to the old official for many years, so I can accompany my husband with peace of mind and talk ...... well,"
"Di Hanchen, you thief with an army!" Han Qi was fed up with his face, and shouted violently: "Open the door for me!" β
Hearing him say, "Thief with army, three words, Di Qing suddenly changed color, the gold seal on his cheek shone, and he actually snorted, and a mouthful of thick phlegm passed through the gate and was spitting on the bridge of the nose of the Chinese and Korean ministers.
Han Qi He had suffered this great humiliation, and his face was as hideous as an angry lion.
It's a pity that it was a male lion who was put in a cage, Di Qing stared at Han Qi coldly, and said with disdain and hatred in his voice:
"Those who sing in the name of the champion outside the Donghua Gate are not the same as living up to the emperor's grace and killing the monarch and rebelling! What kind of good boy is this?! β
"You!" Han Qi was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that twenty years ago, he said to Di Qing with the momentum of Mount Tai: "The person who sings in the name of the champion outside the Donghua Gate is a good man, what kind of good man is this?" οΌ
In an instant, Han Xianggong was so ashamed and angry that he rolled his eyes in anger and fainted......
Di Qing looked at him for the last time, like looking at an old dog, and turned away without any hesitation.
In the second hall, the officers who were in the White Tiger Hall just now, except for those who were locked up, all ...... were here, including those who walked out first.
Di Xianggong used soldiers all his life, and he had no last resort. This time, he waited for the rabbit in his palace marshal's mansion, and naturally it was even more foolproof! All the guards in the palace marshal's mansion and outside the White Tiger Hall were replaced by the soldiers he brought out from the Western Army.
As soon as they started inside, the soldiers took all the personal soldiers brought by the generals and put them under guard. The officers who came out were invited to the second hall first.
At this moment, none of the generals in the second hall are good-looking. Those generals who didn't want to get involved were afraid that Marshal Di would settle accounts after the autumn. And Di Qing's old subordinates, although they stand by his side without regrets. But the one who was locked up inside was Han Qi, the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty! Who knows if there is a way to live, and can they not be afraid?
But there are also some people who have long been full of resentment towards the imperial court, and secretly said in their hearts, could it be that the marshal wants to take the opportunity to learn from Taizu's yellow robe? At least on paper, Di Qing has this condition......
All speculation stopped for a moment as Di Qing walked into the hall, and the generals looked at their marshal, wondering what he was thinking.
Di Qing's face was grim and he sat upright on the handsome seat.
"Marshal!" The generals did not dare to slack off, and greeted each other with a brush.
"Excuse me." Di Qing choked up as he spoke, tears pouring down his face. The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but it's not ...... when he is sad,
"You should also know ......," Di Qing said with a broken heart: "The official family has suffered an accident, even if there is no big business, it is no longer sober." Di is trusted by the emperor, but he can't protect the lord in Zhouquan, it is really a crime that deserves death, and a crime that deserves death! β
The iron-like Marshal Di, even when he was wronged and almost died, never shed a single tear, but now he is crying into tears.
The heart-rending grief of the dignified husband really made those who heard it sad and those who saw it wept. For a while, the generals were also gloomy.
"But I can't die now", Di Qing said and wiped his tears with his sleeve, his tiger eyes were red and red, and he hissed: "Because the official family entrusted Di to protect not only his life, but also the safety of the Great Song Dynasty." Now the situation in the palace is unclear, the national storage seat is vacant, and the city of Beijing must not be chaotic! The palace can't be messed up! β
Saying that, he stood up, and said deeply to the generals: "On the occasion of this intermittent autumn of survival, this official implores you to protect the Great Song Sheji with me!" Let the people of the world and those civil officials see who is a good man who is a good man in the country! β
"Swear to follow the marshal to the death, and swear to defend the Great Song Sheji!" The crowd was amazed by his loyalty and pride, and they responded loudly.
The shout passed through the second hall and spread to the White Tiger Hall, leaving the people trapped in the cage ...... colorless, could it be that we inadvertently became chaotic ministers and thieves?
"Thank you, listen to me!" Di Qing stood up and ordered in a deep voice: "From this moment on, unless I am here, the gates of the city are closed, no one is allowed to enter the city, and no one is allowed to leave the city. β
"Whoa!" The generals responded with a bang.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I know that you are beating the drum in your hearts, lest you are on the wrong side, and after the new monarch takes the throne, he will settle accounts with you." Di Qing's gaze slowly swept over everyone, and he said earnestly: "This commander doesn't ask you to support any side, as long as you are dutiful, take care of your own military camp, and guard your city gates, you are loyal to the country!" In this way, whoever becomes the emperor will not be able to do anything to you! β
"Marshal ......" The generals were greatly moved, they were not fools, they knew that Di Qing carried all the responsibilities on his shoulders and blocked their worries......
"Go ahead." Di Qing waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Be a loyal minister and a good man!" β
"Yes!" The generals responded in unison, it was almost dawn, and they had to hurry back to the camp and stick to their posts.
The generals dispersed, Di Qing sat alone on the handsome chair, looking at the slightly white sky outside, as if to say to himself: "Isn't this arrangement self-tied?" β
"Hehe", the soldiers around him laughed, it turned out to be Chen Yi and Chen Zhongfang, he chuckled when he heard this: "The marshal is proficient in the art of war, and naturally knows that all fighters can win with righteousness and oddity!" The marshal is in charge of the Imperial City Division and the Palace Front Division, which is naturally a regular soldier and our killer weapon! β
"The killer weapon can't be used lightly, once it is smashed, the situation will be ruined." Chen Tian's tone was full of confidence and said: "To the point of dispatching the army, it is a coup d'Γ©tat, the prince is the prince selected by the official family, and the heir to the throne is right, why is this?!" β
"I know what you mean," Di Qing sighed lightly, "You want His Royal Highness King Jin to reach the pole in the best situation." β
"Not bad." Chen Ke nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Zongshi has been running a party for two generations, and the silk is entangled and intertwined, and it will not disappear because the King of Jin has won the unification!" If you don't take this opportunity and completely eliminate it, when the King of Jin ascends to the pole, you won't be able to do it. In that case, King Jin will be a good emperor at most, if he wants to eradicate the decadent wind, if he wants to refresh the rule of officials, if he wants to enrich the country and strengthen the army, if he wants to recover Yanyun, it will be all empty words! β
"Okay, I won't move, I'll be your killer and let you sing the leading role!" Di Qing nodded heavily.
"I'm not the protagonist either," Chen Ke shook his head and smiled: "The protagonist is Wen Yanbo and them, let them sing in a good show, let's watch the play......"
Tomorrow is still a big chapter, and I will strive for a bang......
