Chapter 428: Open the door and surrender
The sun is shining brightly, and the sky is clear.
Outside the capital city, 200,000 Zhou troops lined up and waited quietly.
Chang Yu stood behind the city gate, followed by Meng Qing, and behind him was a large number of officials and generals from Yongzhou in the capital.
From time to time, there was a cursing sound, and on the side of this mighty procession, there was a large circle of bound people.
In this pickaxe capital, most of the diehards of the Huan clan in the army were cleared when Chang Yu made a move, and the rest of them who had not run away were all here.
This is a gift from the leading party in the city, and it is also their vote.
The door slowly opened, and the sunlight shone on the faces of the people. The Zhou army outside the city was only a dozen zhang away from the city wall, and this distance was just a posturing.
Before Zhou Jun, the four-wheeled vehicle was very conspicuous, and the people in the car were too young.
The six Vajra figurines followed the four-wheeled cart, motionless, as if frozen.
Chang Yu led a large group of men and horses out of the city gate, walked to a fairly close distance, and bowed down to kneel. And the armor soldiers escorted the people of the Huan clan in the pickaxe capital city and forced them to kneel on the ground.
This was a very important moment, and the people of the Huan clan, who were still cursing, were either taught a lesson, or they were stuffed with a cloth.
"You are concerned about the Great Zhou, the Son of Heaven, and you are resolutely willing to draw a clear line with Huan Rebellion, which is really a deep sense of righteousness. The Son of Heaven has a will, and the past is not to blame. I also hope that you can work together and serve the Great Zhou. ”
"Thank you, thank you, Prime Minister!"
This surrender ceremony has a great significance to these local forces in Yongzhou who were once in the camp of the Liang army, and that sentence of not blaming the past is what they really want.
Chang Yu stood up, and Yang Xian in front of him had also stood up from the four-wheeled vehicle. It was not the first time Chang Yu had seen Yang Xian, and he had several relationships with Yang Xian in the Divine Capital in the past.
But now that we meet, we have a different taste.
Yang Xian looks very much like Yang Ci, and Chang Yu, who has a nasty face, really can't forget it. saw Yang Xian come over and grabbed Chang Yu's arm.
Chang Yu's cultivation was much higher than Yang Xian's, but at this time, he was motionless, hanging his head slightly, as a listen.
"Although Master Chang is trapped in the thief camp, it is really a blessing in the world to think about the Great Zhou. The Son of Heaven has made a decree to restore the old man as the master. ”
"Thank you, Son of Heaven."
Chang Yu bowed slightly, but did not kneel.
"Let's go!"
Yang Xian pulled Chang Yu and walked towards the pickaxe capital. Where did the people behind Chang Yu dare to block it, they all gave way and cautiously followed behind the two of them.
As the Xijing of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Hokyo has an imperial palace in the city. However, this palace has been closed for a long time, and there are only a few chamberlains left in it to maintain the palace.
After Huan Qi became emperor, the palace group in the pickaxe capital was still not activated.
A large number of mansions among the more than a dozen official offices around the palace were originally dignitaries, but now most of them are empty. Because the owners of these houses did not roll up and flee after the castle was under Cangqiu City, the rest were arrested.
The 50,000 Zhichong army entered the city of Hojing and took over the defense of the capital, and the rest of the Zhou army was stationed outside the city.
Yang Xian pulled Chang Yu and walked straight into the palace, followed by a large number of followers.
Compared with the Imperial Palace, the Imperial Palace of Hokyo is not as magnificent as the Divine Capital, but it is vast and far-reaching. Walked into several palace gates and came to the front of its main hall, Longxing Palace.
There are two pavilions on the left and right of Longxing Palace, the whole hall is concave shaped, the outline is undulating, the volume is huge, it looks extremely majestic and imposing.
There was not a trace of human breath in the empty temple. Because it had not been opened for a long time, as soon as the door was opened, a puff of dust came to the face, many corners were covered with cobwebs, and a thick layer of dust was spread on the ground.
Yang Xian walked in with the people, and the throne that represented the supreme power was already covered with dust. But even so, Yang Xian still knelt down towards the throne very respectfully.
Everyone was stunned, but they quickly knelt down with Yang Xian. Even Chang Yu, who is proud of his qualifications, can only kneel down at this moment.
"The foundation of the Xia family is almost a barren hill, which is really the fault of our and other ministers."
Yang Xian said very sadly and blamed himself. As Yang Xian's words spread throughout the hall, there was a faint cry behind him.
Not long ago, this cadre led the way party and was happy because Huan Qi ascended the throne and rewarded the world for their benefits, but at this moment their faces were sad, as if they were loyal ministers of the country.
I have to say that the expression of this leading party is very sincere. Even if Yang Xian doesn't look back, he can know their professionalism.
"The prime minister doesn't have to blame himself, the first emperor was harmed by Huan Rebellious, and we all gritted our teeth, hated to be able to lift the three-foot sword, and fight with Huan Rebellious to break the net. However, Huan is against the trend, and we can only temporarily succumb to it and wait for the opportunity. Fortunately, the prime minister Xingwang's northern expedition and conquered the thief chieftain, and we waited for the time to see the light of day again. ”
Meng Qing said behind his back, which soon caused a large number of echoes from the leading party. Anyway, Yang Xian feels pretty good.
The position of the Belt and Road Party can make people hate it in their own camp, but if it is in the enemy camp, it is different.
Yang Xian stood up and said to the crowd behind him.
"Now the first priority is to welcome the Son of Heaven, and announce it to the world, and reprimand the Huan family for the crime of traitors."
"Obey your orders!"
From Xiancheng to Hojing, it is not only the summer palace that needs to be moved, but the central institution of the entire imperial court. It's a complex system that involves tens of thousands of people.
Yang Xian stood outside the Longxing Palace, and the temple foundation was more than five zhang high, so that people standing outside the hall could easily see the situation in the distance. Outside the hall are sparse figures, and there is also the shadow of Chang Yu.
This is a dangerous person!
This sentence was Yang Chun's advice to Yang Xian before he went to Taolin. Yang Chun and Chang Yu used to be friends and later parted ways. In this world, I am afraid that no one knows Chang Yu better than Yang Chun.
And to be able to let a great master like Yang Chun leave such an evaluation, the other party must not be underestimated.
The guards of the Zhichong Army guarded the surroundings of this Longxing Hall inside and out, and a black shadow fell beside Yang Xian.
"How?"
"Lord, since Meng Qing entered Changfu, Chang Yu has not moved at all these days. It wasn't until two days ago that he suddenly attacked and captured a group of people loyal to the Huan clan. ”
Chang Yu's hands were clean and neat, even more ruthless and accurate than Meng Qing. It's just that such a person would be willing to surrender to him?
"Is this old guy really planning to surrender? Or do you have other plans? ”
Yang Xian looked at Chang Yu's back, pondered, and looked at the shadow beside him.
"Keep an eye on him and don't relax!"
"My subordinates understand!"
