Chapter 535: Qi Death Vulture Technique

The Wushu who was recuperating in Fuzhong has been restless for the past few days, and the condition that has just improved slightly has recurred. === He faintly felt that since the emperor's visit and the disappearance of his eldest son, not only the emperor, but also the courtiers who had always bowed to him in the past began to alienate themselves. This time, Wanyan Kexi led the army of King Qin into the city and was rewarded by the emperor, but he did not ask for his opinion, and he didn't even say hello, and Kexi didn't come to visit him from the palace, which was something that had not happened since he was in charge of the government.

The erratic behavior of the emperor and his courtiers unnerved the Wushu, who realized that his former unbreakable position had begun to waver. And all kinds of rumors continued to reach his ears, saying that in order to support his son to ascend the throne, he actually wanted to make peace with Song Yuan, and did not hesitate to betray the interests of Dajin and sacrifice the emperor. But now he is also difficult to argue, Wan Yanheng's rebel doesn't know where to hide, and he searched the whole city without finding the slightest trace of him, as if the world has evaporated.

What made Wushu even more unbearable was the emperor's 'neglect', thinking that he did not hesitate to turn against his brothers and kill many lords for the sake of his throne stability; for the sake of the Dajin State, he led troops to fight on all sides, and the blood-stained robe can be said to be nine deaths; in order to maintain the normal operation of the Jin State, he worked hard and exhausted his liver and gall, so that he was riddled with evil diseases; after the Northern Expedition of the Song Army, he dragged his sick body to strategize and dispatch troops to resist the invasion of the enemy country...... But all this was suspicious by the emperor because of a false rumor, which made him feel cold.

"Xu Shilang, how is the situation in the DPRK?" There are few cars outside the Taishi Mansion and there are few people, and there is no noise of the former provincial officials who have come to ask for peace and discussion, only Xu Lin, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, often comes to visit the mansion.

"Taishi, yesterday the emperor removed the post of Marshal of the Left Capital on the grounds that Taibao Zongmin was cowardly in the battle to defend the city. retains only his upright office; Taifu Zongxiong was removed from his post as the left minister and the Yin of Huining Mansion, and Zhang Hao, the right minister, took over as the left minister. Cao Wangzong was forcibly named the Taishi and led the three provinces. concurrently served as the governor of Huining Prefecture; The emperor reorganized the capital and appointed himself as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, with Wanyan Kexi as the left commander, and the servant scattered and loyal as the right commander, and the relevant provinces and ministries were also adjusted. Xu Lin said.

"Oh, didn't you hear a little wind beforehand and noticed something unusual?" Wushu was surprised, the world had changed overnight, which was unexpected. And as the first assistant, he didn't know it, which is not as simple as being snubbed.

"Taishi, my subordinates only know that the emperor often summons Zhang Hao and Kexi into the palace for banquets, but they didn't expect them to do such a big thing in secret." Xu Lin said with a guilty face.

"Cai Songnian and the others don't know about it?" Wushu hurriedly asked, these people are his own henchmen, arranged in the court for assistance, one person did not notice, so many people did not notice it It is too strange.

"Taishi, Cai Songnian has already taken up the post of left minister. Many people were co-opted by him, and I was transferred to the Hanlin Academy. Xu Lin said with a wry smile, he himself has become an idle person.

"Why do I treat them well?" Wushu said suspiciously. Cai Songnian and others have today's status precisely because of their protection and promotion, but now they betray themselves and make him incomprehensible.

"Taishi, this is all due to the recent rumors in the city and the disappearance of Lord Wanhu. They were worried that Taishi would make peace with Zhao Er, and Zhao Er would inevitably ask for them, the traitors of the Southern Dynasty. It is inevitable that you will die after you go back, so ......" Xu Lin said with a sigh.

They will also believe such rootless words. How could I have done such a rebellious thing. Ahem......" Wushu said angrily, coughing incessantly in anger, wisps of blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.

"Taishi is angry, but also take care of your body, Dajin Kingdom can't leave you!" Seeing this, Xu Lin hurriedly persuaded.

"Are they really old men to be bullied? Go and find me Sahorin! Wushu slammed the case and shouted, he knew that the emperor no longer trusted him, and secretly wooed the courtiers to elevate him.

"Taishi, Sa Helin has been appointed by the emperor as the defense envoy of the imperial city to protect the palace ban, and his sergeants have all been transferred to the northern city, and the guards and pro-troops of the imperial city have been replaced by the tiger and leopard army led by Kexi." Xu Lin said.

"Huh?! They had planned it for a long time! Wushu suddenly said, his son-in-law became a general in the army under his own cultivation, and he was also a chess piece laid by him, but now it is equivalent to being deprived of military power, and his biggest reliance is gone. He didn't expect that he had been in business for so long and was finally calculated by the puppet he manipulated, and a mouthful of old blood spurted out of his throat......

Wan Yan took the opportunity of the gratifying Qin Wang's army to enter the city, and used the soldiers in his hands to quickly control the palace ban, and transferred all the cronies of Wushu away, first ensuring the safety of his own life. Later, he took advantage of the fact that Wushu was seriously ill and could not bow to everything, and enabled Zhang Hao to stabilize the government, and dismantled the alliance of Wushu under coercion and temptation. And this can make Wan Yan easy to get it, but also because everyone knows that the life of the vultures is not long, and there is no one in the court to replace his position as a powerful minister for the time being, so the emperor will inevitably be pro-government, and sooner or later he will have to queue up again, so it is better to occupy the throne first and hug the emperor's thick legs.

After the adjustment of the court was completed, Wan Yan ordered the Taishi to recuperate with peace of mind, not to worry about the government anymore, and gave good medicine and nourishing things, and sent the imperial doctor into the palace for diagnosis and treatment. But just when Wanyan Yan could breathe a sigh of relief after regaining control of the imperial court, the Song army began to attack the city again, and ordered the captured Jin soldiers to build wooden fences around the city and fill in trenches to strengthen the siege of Huining City.

At this time, the city of Huining in September had entered the winter, the weather was cold, and after being besieged for nearly two months, the Song army did not withdraw because of the arrival of the cold winter as expected by Wan Yan and others. However, after two food storms in the city, the development of the situation finally reached a state of extreme terror and sorrow. Due to the lack of grain roads, the population in the city is as much as more than 400,000, and the daily consumption of grain is astronomical, and now the grain stock is gradually exhausted, and the merchants have reached the point where there is no grain to sell, and the gentlemen and women have to beg in the city, and the people are exhausted, and the victims look at each other, as long as the edible things such as leather utensils and the like are all steamed and cooked.

Moreover, due to the cold weather and the need for a large amount of firewood to keep warm, and due to the blockade of the Song army, they appeared in the former Bianjing City, first of all, the trees in the city were cut down, and then began to use wooden furniture as firewood, and now it has reached the point of demolishing houses and taking wood, but there are still many people who can't survive the cold night and are frozen to death, at this time Huining City has become a veritable city of purgatory on earth!

Wan Yan convened a meeting of hundreds of officials to discuss strategies to protect the society and the living. But at the meeting, no one seemed to be able to come up with any good ideas, and the emperor was silent, crying, and repeatedly nagging that he could not do anything. And the two new ministers are also at a loss for this situation, and the clever woman will not be able to cook without rice, except for sighing and sighing, there is no way to retreat from the enemy. So some people remembered the Wushu that had been 'idle', and when the Dajin Kingdom was cornered by the Song Dynasty in the past, he didn't see the Taishi helpless, and they were all resolved by him one by one.

But after this meeting, according to a reliable person who had participated in the peace talks, the Southern Dynasty was not actually most afraid of the emperor, but Wushu. Zhao Er hated that he had led his troops south to attack the Song Dynasty and captured his father and brother, especially after he took control of the government, he attacked Goryeo and destroyed the alliance between the two countries, built boundary trenches and arranged heavy troops for the Southern Dynasties, and still wanted to go south to the Central Plains, which made him very afraid. Therefore, during the Northern Expedition, Zhao Er had already made up his mind that he must get rid of it in order to prevent future troubles, otherwise he would never withdraw his troops. The failure of the peace talks was mainly caused by the emperor's refusal to let him out of the city as a hostage, but because he was still in control of the government at that time, no one dared to talk about it.

Now that the weather is cold, Zhao Er still sends troops to besiege the city because of Wushu, as long as the court hands it over, they will also retreat and return to the court. The inside information quickly spread in the city, if in normal times, everyone might only take this as a talking point and laugh it off, and destroying a country for one person has only appeared in legends, Zhao Er is not stupid, and he is only going to kill a dying person, not many people will believe it.

But now the situation is critical, and the situation is different, the soldiers and civilians in the city are like drowning people at the moment, and they want to seize any chance to survive, even if it is a straw, they will not let go, especially when everyone has no master. In line with the purpose of believing that there is something and not believing it, some people began to write a petition asking the imperial court to send the Wushu to the Southern Dynasty, sacrificing one person to save hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city. Under the pressure of public opinion, Wan Yan said that the imperial court would consider it carefully and give everyone a satisfactory answer......

There was a lot of public opinion in the city, and the news inevitably passed through the palace and entered the ears of Wushu, and he trembled when he heard it, of course, not frightened, but angry. Think about the miserable situation that I have fought for the Dajin Kingdom all my life, and now I have ended up being betrayed by the government and the opposition, what is the meaning of living! But after all, Wushu is rolling through the sea of blood in the sword mountain, how can a person who survives a hundred battles be so fragile and easy to submit, so he wrote to the emperor to ask for an elite soldier to go out of the city to fight to the death, be loyal to the country, and be loyal to the country, in the name of his own loyalty.

Unexpectedly, Wushu's statement caused an uproar, and the next day outside the Taishi's mansion was surrounded by a sea of people, and the soldiers and civilians asked the Taishi not to die easily, but to take care of his body and leave a useful body to go to the Song camp to protect the safety of the people in the city, and then asked the emperor to send the Taishi out of the city as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night and harm the soldiers and civilians of the city.

"I'm really angry, I'm ......" The Wushu on the sickbed heard the thunderous petition of thousands of soldiers and civilians, and couldn't help but turn over and stand up, looking at the sky and roaring, Rushan's body fell straight down, and the attendant hurriedly rushed forward, and the old lady had returned to the sky in everyone's 'blessing'......
