The next morning, there was only the emperor and no queen in the court. The "King James Ming Law" stipulates that the emperor and empress are in the same dynasty, but in fact, this is only an official situation, and the queen usually does not go to court.

In the past, every court meeting, it was the ministers who waited for the emperor and empress, first asked for peace, and then the emperor asked questions. But this time, the emperor came up directly and asked: "I think it's a big battle!" What the hell is going on?! ”

The commander of the Imperial City Army stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I will go to Hanzhong County with Liu Jianjun of the Forbidden Army. The traitor Zhao Zhenglong was cunning and pretended to negotiate. Chen and Liu Jianjun had just left the barracks and were going to Hanzhong County to negotiate, but they sent people to beat us. Thankfully, we survived thanks to the Forbidden Army's desperate protection, but many of them have already died for us. I hereby ask for the honor of my brothers who died in battle. ”

He cleared his throat, looked at the emperor, and continued: "At this time, the Gyeonggi rebels and the Hanzhong rebels all went out in an attempt to sneak attack our army from the rear. However, our defenses were tight, and with the help of the Forbidden Army, we were able to defeat the rebels. At present, our side has captured Hanzhong County, but we have also suffered heavy losses, but the rebels have also perished in the city. I checked after the war, and the head of the thief was not in the city, and his life and death were unknown. ”

At this time, someone said: "The minister heard that the forbidden army started the war without authorization. ”

Someone else said: "The minister also heard that even His Majesty's Praetorian Army has been dispatched." ”

Liu Xingchao, the supervisor of the forbidden army, said: "The forbidden army has been stoic and restrained, and finally it was unbearable and had to defend. As for the Praetorian Army, it was only used to reconnoiter the rebels. ”

Li Yongfu, the head of the inner court and the commander of the forbidden army, also stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the forbidden army has been staying in the forbidden army and has not gone out. Only a few aircraft carried out reconnaissance missions. ”

The head of the secret service said: "The thief army is crazy and inexplicable. They drove the people to be the vanguards, and carried out the tactics of crowds, resulting in the destruction of lives and the destruction of the whole city. If it weren't for the forbidden army helping the Imperial City Army, the situation would be critical. ”

At this time, a royal herald came up and said, "Report - urgent military information from the Secret Service." ”

The director of the secret department stepped forward, took the letter, read it, handed it to the emperor, and said: "Your Majesty, the latest military situation: Zhao Zhenglong is dead, Zhao Zhenghu fled across the Great Wall of Sichuan with 10,000 remnants of the army, and Zhao Zhengbao has returned to Handan, Hebei. ”

The emperor took the fold and said, "Alas, how could it be like this! There is a hundred-meter-high Sichuan Great Wall in the border of Jingchuan, how did Zhao Zhenghu get in? What to do with Zhao Zhengbao in Hebei? ”

Sun Haomiao, minister of the military department, said: "Since ancient times, Sichuan and the imperial land have not interfered with each other, even if Zheng Zhenghu flees to Sichuan, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to get out of Sichuan in this life." Zhao Zhengbao is brave and unscrupulous, far from his father, tens of thousands of remnants are not enough to worry about, and the Hebei Imperial Army should eliminate this son in the blink of an eye. Your Majesty should not be concerned. ”

Li Yongfu, the head of the inner court, stood up and said: "The minister and the prime minister have been in the same dynasty for several years, but they didn't see it at all. really knows the face but doesn't know the heart, what the emperor does to the prime minister, the world knows, but he still wants to rebel. This matter is undoubted, although the prime minister committed suicide in fear of crime, and the Zhao rebel rebelled, but the queen is innocent, she has nothing to do with the traitor, please don't suspect the queen. ”

The emperor still did not speak.

At this time, a minister stood up - Li Guozhong, the head of the Li family in Longxi, the crown prince's confidant, deputy prime minister, and the official rank was second only to the chief manager and prime minister. The eldest daughter of the Li family in Longxi is the crown princess, and the Li family in Longxi is also one of the 12 families of Tianzi.

Li Guozhong has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looks righteous and awe-inspiring.

Li Guozhong said: "Your Majesty, although the rebels have been wiped out, there are still many henchmen of the prime minister in the court. ”

This guy! If he hadn't taken the opportunity to make trouble, it would have been calculated with the head of the inner court in advance!

Emperor: "Who?" ”

Li Guozhong: "First of all, Ji Yichun, the president of the Inspection Yuan, then Zu Yushan, the president of the Qintian Yuan, Yang Hongyi, the director of Guozijian, and Qian Yanchang, the deputy director of the Criminal Department, these four people are the prime minister's henchmen, they conspire to rebel together all day long, and I still have the report letter from their subordinates here." The evidence of their rebellion is conclusive! ”

He finished and handed over the recital.

Those people said: "It's nonsense, I have nothing to do with the prime minister, I'm just speaking up!" You traitors! Come to a sticky end! ”

Li Yongfu: "The emperor is wise and martial, and he can't wronged a good person, nor can he spare a bad person." There was no basis for the words, so the matter was investigated by the Royal Secret Service. ”

Whoever is arrested in a secret service has never pleaded not guilty and convicted; If not convicted, what is the secret service doing with the arrest?

"On this day of the great destruction of the traitors, the minister advises," the governor of the inner court cleared his throat and continued, "it is recommended that the subjects be rewarded for reporting the traitors, because the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband." All those who surrender themselves will not die, showing the immensity of His Majesty's imperial grace; Anyone who reports others will be given fame and fame, showing His Majesty's love for talent; Anyone who is reported will be put to death, showing that His Majesty's rewards and punishments are clear! ”

The emperor said, "All right. Retreat! ”

Later, I heard from the imperial soldiers who pursued Zhao Zhenghu about the situation at that time, and some of them also heard from the captives.

The Praetorian Army bombed the entire city of Hanzhong into ruins, but the three Zhao brothers survived under the protection of the underground fortifications. By the time they fled from the pursuing Imperial City Army, their hundreds of thousands of troops were already less than tens of thousands.

When Zhao Zhenglong saw the ruined city, thought of his father who was killed, and thought of the tragic situation in the future, he raised his pistol and fired a shot at the head, and died instantly.

So the army was owned by his second brother Zhao Zhenghu.

Zhao Zhenghu was ready to lead the army and tens of thousands of county residents who had survived the catastrophe to flee to Sichuan, because Sichuan had always interfered and ignored the internal affairs of the imperial court, and his younger brother Zhao Zhengbao suggested returning to his hometown in Hebei in order to make a comeback.

They argued fiercely, and the end result was that the two men separated with their armies.

The Zhao family's army was all Hebei children, and most of them wanted to go home, so Zhao Zhengbao returned with a large army. They bypassed Chang'an, raided and crossed Tongguan, joined up with the Hebei army outside the pass, and then defeated the Central Plains army, crossed the Yellow River north, and returned to Handan.

Zhao Zhenghu took less than 10,000 remnants of the army and tens of thousands of county residents to the foot of the Sichuan Great Wall.

The year of the establishment of the Great Wall of Sichuan is no longer verifiable, and the legend of the forbidden history is that it was built by the "First Dynasty", and the holy capital of Sichuan at that time was the imperial capital. The so-called First Dynasty was not the "First Dynasty", but the first dynasty of the New World after the destruction of the "Last Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty" - this dynasty called itself the "First Dynasty", it did not even have its own name, but called itself "The First Dynasty". Of course, whether those legends are true or not, no one knows what's going on. If there were no Great Wall of Sichuan, no one would have believed those legends. But the Great Wall of Sichuan has really stood there for countless years. The 100-meter-high city wall stretches for 1,000 kilometers around northern Sichuan, what a huge project!

Zhao Zhenghu led tens of thousands of people to the foot of the Great Wall of Sichuan, behind which is the rich and peaceful land of abundance.

There he prayed to the men at the gate to open the door, but no one paid attention to him. The troops of the Imperial City Army were approaching them step by step, and a massacre soon came, and no one of the soldiers and civilians could live.

He spoke loudly to the officers defending the city on the Great Wall, but to no avail.

The vanguard of the Imperial City Army has arrived.

Eventually, a man appeared on the city wall, and everyone fell silent – the man was said to be the governor of Sichuan. Sichuan is not under the control of the emperor, which is recognized by the whole world - although the imperial court does not recognize it.

The Sichuan people said: "We don't care about these bad things outside Sichuan, but we can't watch you being killed at our feet, because this is related to the honor of my great Sichuan." So I have a suggestion: swear that you will never take revenge after today, then cut off your right hand and throw down your weapon, and I will let you in and keep you safe. If you do, you will do it; If not, it's none of our business. ”

I guess that choice was quite difficult, but the whole army ended up cutting off the right hand with a saber and throwing away the weight of the weapon. So the huge iron gate of the Great Wall opened, allowing the remnants of the army to enter, and tens of thousands of county citizens also slowly entered.

The Imperial City Army, which had just arrived, had no choice. The Great Wall of Sichuan is much stronger than the wall of Hanzhong, and even bombers may not be able to blow it up, and it is said that the Sichuan army is more fierce than the forbidden army.

So that's the end of it, because even if you don't want to, you can't help it.
