Chapter 67: Running away
Three halls are opened in the depths of the smoke, and hundreds of officials are attracted when the spring rain is light. The Linde Hall itself is composed of three halls in the front, middle and back, the middle hall and the left and right pavilions are two-story buildings, and the front and rear halls are single-storey buildings. In addition to the corridors surrounding the main hall, there are many small houses to set off the majesty of the main hall.
At this time, the Donggong soldiers will suddenly attack when everyone is unprepared, and they are close to the front door, in addition to the troops who rushed into the Lin De Palace, they will definitely divide their troops to make a detour to outflank the flank, which is undoubtedly a thing.
Most of the ministers panicked and came up with ideas to avoid trouble, and everyone hoped to think of a way to delay for a while and wait for the forbidden army to come to their rescue. Xue Chongxun saw that everyone looked so scared, and he didn't care about his fear, but the first thing that came to mind was the tragedy of the prince: it threatened the personal safety of most of the people in power, this is the legendary magic skill "group mockery"? Once this matter is over, it should not be an exaggeration to say that he is surrounded by betrayals.
But he had to avoid the disaster in front of him, Xue Chongxun was about to take the queen away, when someone suddenly called him and asked, "King Jin, what should I do at this time?" ”
Xue Chongxun wanted to ignore it and save his life, but he temporarily wanted to help the prince again, which made the ministers even more resentful of him, so he said: "How is it good, what do you say?" Why did Li Chenghong choose to do it at the time of the state banquet, because he understood that it was useless to just do it to Xue or the queen, and he wanted to catch it all! ”
Sure enough, the words were made clear, and the panic increased, and some people completely ignored their status and ran towards the Qilin Gate in the northeast corner. At this time, Xue Chongxun understood the prince's thinking, which was nothing more than wanting to transfer the great crime after the emperor's death, and then use force to solve the main political opponent (an important member of the Taiping family) overnight, and then he would be the crown prince and rightfully ascend the throne and control the power...... The idea is good, but the reality is not necessarily so ideal.
As for the body of the emperor who has been hung up on the dragon chair, no one cares about it at all, Li Shouli is also very sad, maybe there will be a grand funeral afterwards, and many people will cry for the performance, but who around him really cares about him at this time?
Prime Minister Zhang said and groaned: "There are hundreds of rebels, and the guards of the Linde Hall can't resist it, and it's too late to evacuate to the north, so they can only be scattered in the Linde Hall to hide...... But casualties are inevitable. ”
Dou Huaizhen, who is usually very narcissistic and thinks she is chic, can't maintain her bearing, and scolded angrily: "It's just lawless, I will definitely settle accounts with my second son in the future!" ”
Xue Chongxun looked back and said: "What Zhang Xianggong said is that everyone is scattered and asks for more blessings. ”
The crowd rushed to the back door and made a mess. Although there were many people attending the banquet, most of them were bureaucrats who were accustomed to eating, drinking, and having fun, and all of them had no weapons, and of course no one would think of resisting the army by themselves.
Xue Chongxun saluted Empress Gao, who was standing next to the soft collapse, "The queen will come with me." ”
Gao nodded hurriedly and walked down from above, because the dress was very long, he was unable to move a little slowly, Xue Chongxun took Gao's hand and left. Gao subconsciously withdrew her hand, but Xue Chongxun grasped it so hard that she couldn't retract her hand, so she could only stay in Xue Chongxun's rough big hand.
About a dozen or so slaves and maids of the Gao clan around him also followed, and Xue Chongxun turned around and said: "Li Chenghong's rhetoric for mobilizing his subordinates must be King Qin, so he can't order the indiscriminate killing of innocents, you people don't have to worry about your lives, don't follow, you can't help but increase the target, and you're all scattered!" ”
The palace people looked at Empress Gao, she probably also felt that Xue Chongxun was reasonable, so she ordered: "Don't follow." ”
Everyone had to stop when they heard this, and two of them cried sadly, saying that they hoped that the queen would be safe, and they didn't know whether the tears were true or false, and naturally it could be that they were usually blessed by the queen from the heart.
Gao probably felt that it was unseemly to be held in front of all the slaves and maids, so he forcefully broke his hand out of Xue Chongxun's palm, and followed Xue Chongxun in a panic with his long skirt towards the main entrance of the middle hall.
At this time, a minister next to him glanced at Xue Chongxun while running over, and said angrily: "At first, I thought that King Jin had a clever plan to retreat from the enemy......
Xue Chongxun said in his heart: Li Chenghong is not a three-year-old child, and the soldiers have brought him in, can he still reason with him? Naturally, they are going to run away...... However, it should not be easy for Li Chenghong to bring soldiers into the palace; If you want others to work hard for him, I'm afraid it's difficult, and there are only so many people with a little foundation. Now this situation is much easier than the situation when he ran away in Longyou and was helpless, and Xue Chongxun is still quite confident in his personal means of survival. Seeing that the Lin De Hall complex was more complex than the pattern, he was not very afraid at this time, and his confidence came from martial arts and experience.
He thought about it, turned his head and glanced at Gao's and said, "Don't worry, the queen will definitely protect you." ”
Gao nodded vigorously, panting and not caring about a word, she had lived in the palace for a long time, and her body was naturally not as good as someone like Xue Chongxun.
As soon as the two of them ran to the front door of the middle hall, Gao suddenly fell, threw himself on the ground and almost burst into tears, and looked at Xue Chongxun with a pair of eyes that was pitiful and innocent, only then did she look like a little girl.
Xue Chongxun hurriedly turned around to help, and when she helped her up, she grabbed Xue Chongxun's shoulder and trembled: "It hurts, I can't take a step." ”
But seeing that the Gao family was still standing firmly, such a young person should not break a bone after a fall, Xue Chongxun said: "It's okay, just wait a minute." ”
Gao Shi looked back at the side of the front hall: "The rebels are about to chase after them." ”
"Hmm." Xue Chongxun replied expressionlessly, wondering whether to carry her away. Although it was expedient, he was thrown off at first, and if he rushed to hug him, would he be slapped in the face?
Gao limped two steps, and said with a sad face: "Xue Lang go by himself, don't worry about me." ”
"What do you say, how do you do it?" Xue Chongxun was stunned.
"My role to Xue Lang is nothing more than the identity of a queen, and now that His Majesty has died, even if I die, you can find someone to form an alliance in Daming Palace again and achieve the same effect......" The tears in Gao's eyes finally fell, perhaps because he had encountered too many things today, and the fear and pressure were too great to bear the limit. She probably had never encountered so many dangers in her life.
Xue Chongxun said: "The queen is reasonable, but ......" He couldn't think of what it was for a while, but his intuition couldn't do what she said at all, and she was mostly talking angry.
He didn't talk nonsense, turned around and put his arm around her back with one hand and her leg with the other, picked it up and left.
"What are you doing, let me down!" Gao was held in his arms, and his face suddenly turned crimson.
Xue Chongxun said as he strode away: "There is urgency, the queen is a little calm, I don't have a light heart." "Actually, it's okay not to explain, most people don't have that kind of mood at this time.
When I picked her up, I found that this woman was afraid that she was only eighty or ninety pounds, and she usually wore a wide gown and couldn't see that she was so light.
Gao didn't struggle much, but just symbolically said two words, it was strange that she really wanted to stay and die. However, she is indeed very embarrassed, the dignified queen is usually a noble and dignified style, and she is naturally not used to being carried away suddenly. She was afraid of falling and instinctively grabbed Xue Chongxun's arm, the place where she started was strong and strong, and she only felt that the steps below were steady and powerful, and a very down-to-earth sense of strength made her soft.
After a while, she reached out and took off her phoenix crown and threw it on the ground, lest the pearl and jade be too eye-catching, and the smooth green silk suddenly spread out, and the hair was flowing in the wind because of Xue Chongxun's fast walking.
The two of them went up to the pavilion of the middle hall and came to the side of the flying bridge, Xue Chongxun put the Gao family down to take a breath, and by the way, he looked down at the situation in the south, and saw that the base of the front hall was full of soldiers in armor, and they poured into the hall one after another. Looking back left and right, there were also many cavalry outside the corridor of the Lin De Palace, and there were the most soldiers at the gates, which naturally prevented the people attending the banquet from escaping.
"There are so many people in the prince!" Gao Shi glared at Meimu.
"There are only a few hundred people, but there are quite a few." Xue Chongxun said nonsense casually.
Gao looked at the Erfang Pavilion on the other side of the flying bridge again: "Are we going over there to refuse the bridge and defend it?" ”
Xue Chongxun shook his head and said, "There is neither armor nor weapons, what are you guarding?" This head is blocked and there is nowhere to run for a while. ”
Gao frowned and said, "Then Xue Lang is here ......"
Xue Chongxun said with a smile: "Come and see, condescendingly look at how spectacular the scene of violating the ban with force is, but it is Tang Bing...... As long as it's not the barbarian soldiers who have entered Chang'an, it's fine. ”
Gao Shi was speechless when he heard this, rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Let's go quickly." ”
"What the queen said is very true." Xue Chongxun hugged it in his arms again, and a faint fragrance came to his face.
"Where are we going now?"
Xue Chongxun said: "Just now I saw that there are many small houses on the left and right of the Yuyi Building and the adjacent building in the apse, and the layout is more complicated than the main hall, let's go there and hide." ”
The two of them descended from the pavilion and continued north, then exited the main hall through the side door, and went into the low buildings. The more they walked this way, the fewer people came, and the ministers all ran away and didn't know where to hide, and it was probably near the apse, because the rebels came in from the front hall.
When Xue Chongxun walked into a small house with Gao in his arms, he saw that the house was narrow, and the corridor between the houses was almost only accessible to one person. This pattern also exists in large private households, probably to prevent slaves and maids from talking to each other in the corridor, and Xue Chongxun can't figure it out, but this place looks very suitable for hiding.
"It's a good place to defend, it's narrow and not easy to attack, you just have to block it in and fight with one person. They were afraid of setting fires, but by the time they found this place and were about to set it on fire, most of the forbidden troops had arrived. Xue Chongxun said, "I don't know where the kitchen of Lin Dedian is, it's good to have a kitchen knife." ”
Gao said: "I don't know, I haven't been to the kitchen. ”G
