Chapter Thirty-Eight: There Are New Men in Front of the King

When it comes to knowing the outcome, especially the bad one, the wait is always extraordinarily long.

The first to hear the movement were those soldiers, the guards on the palace wall looked back at the palace with frightened faces, they didn't have a chance to turn back again, waiting for the Zhenwu army outside the palace gate to laugh loosely and revert to the state of tigers and wolves.

The sound of buzzing through the air sounded, and the guards on the palace wall fell down a lot, and the arrows were still carrying iron hooks and ropes, and some thin soldiers rushed to climb up the palace wall with their strength.

All this happened too quickly, and when Cui Zheng and other officials came back to their senses, the gate of the palace city had already opened, and Zhenwu Jun rushed in with a roar.

The soldiers guarding them did not follow, but only shouted and cheered.

Why did you kill these Miyagi guards? Isn't it a nest of snakes and rats? Cui Zheng and other officials were terrified. 、

This time there was no tragic battle in the palace city, the sound of fighting stopped as soon as it started, and the guards at the palace gate did not resist but ran inward, but ushered in the soldiers who ran out of the palace, and there were wolves in front and tigers in front of them, and they were suddenly even more panicked.

"The whole sea has been ambushed, and you will be deceived and threatened to disarm immediately."

Hearing this shout, the panicked generals no longer had the heart to resist, and they abandoned their weapons and knelt on the ground.

The shouts in the palace gate were chaotic, and Cui Zheng and other officials, who couldn't hear clearly outside, and didn't know what the result would be, were in a state of confusion, they didn't wait long, and they saw those who ran into the Zhenwu Army and ran out again, instead of rushing up like wolves and tigers, they tore them apart, but stood in line in front of the palace gate.

A trembling and pale-faced eunuch came out, and when he saw Cui Zheng, he didn't know whether he was excited or frightened, and he cried when he shouted Cui Xiangye.

Cui Zheng's heart was broken, could it be that the next sentence to hear was that the emperor had died?

The outcome of the Emperor's death was indeed expected by them, but it was not their time as prisoners.

"Xiangye, my lords, Your Majesty invites you in." Fortunately, the eunuch cried and did not delay speaking, "The whole pirate has been ambushed." ”

Cui Zheng took two steps back, and his legs were weak, and officials supported him behind him.

What the?

Really?

Is it a conspiracy? The open palace gate is like the open mouth of a wild beast, does it swallow them all in one gulp?

"But it doesn't make a difference if we follow up now." An official smiled wryly.

Yes, now the entire capital is under the control of these people, and if they want to swallow them, what is the difference between outside the palace gate and inside the palace gate, not to mention that it is not up to them to decide whether to enter or not.

"Hurry up and obey."

"Hurry up and get in."

"Don't you adults listen to Your Majesty?"

The rude soldiers shoved them with knives and guns.

How could their dignified ministers be driven away like cattle by a group of soldiers, Cui Zheng threw his sleeves and stood up straight: "Why don't you regret this for the sake of state affairs." ”

He pushed away the swords and guns of the soldiers, and strode towards the palace gate, anyway, it was already like this, and the other officials also had no choice, tidied up their clothes, straightened their expressions, and resolutely entered the palace gate.

The palace of Great Xia was still as luxurious and gorgeous as before, but at this time it was not pleasing to the eye, there were dead bodies and weapons scattered everywhere, and blood slowly penetrated the ground, but the officials who had seen the tragedy outside the palace gate were not so afraid, and their expressions only remained shocked and puzzled.

Outside, these Zhenwu soldiers really killed Wu Zhang and his soldiers and horses, and inside the palace, they also really killed the soldiers and horses of the whole sea.

As outside the palace, the soldiers in the palace were driven and squatted together.

So whose person is this Zhenwu Army?

"This father-in-law." Cui Zheng opened his mouth to call the eunuch who led the way in front of him.

The emperor has not been in court for a long time, but everyone around him is no stranger, but this eunuch who came out today is faceless, let alone named, and his demeanor is also timid, I don't know if he is scared or has never been on the stage nervous.

The eunuch was obviously distracted, and he turned around in a panic when he was frightened by the shout.

"Is Your Majesty really safe? What about the whole sea? Cui Zheng asked, "Really killed?" ”

The eunuch hummed: "Your Majesty is safe." Stretching out his hand and pointing ahead: "The whole sea, in the lake, has not been fished out yet." ”

At this time, they had already walked to the front of the Begonia Palace, although they had adapted to the tragedy all the way, seeing the scene here, there were still weak officials who couldn't hold back and vomited, and the white bridge and the yellow palace under the red lake water had a strange beauty.

There were a lot of corpses floating in the lake, as if there was a big battle between two armies.

A group of eunuchs were trembling and salvaging corpses in the lake, and a beautiful woman commanded them.

"Fish out the whole sea first." She stood on the steps, wrapped in a gorgeous robe, and covered her mouth and nose with her hands and shouted, "Get this old thief out and whip the corpse." ”

Cui Zheng looked at this strange scene, could it be that this Zhenwu Army is a member of the Luo family? If it is a member of the Luo family, then this result is not bad, at least one has been removed, and the relatives left behind are not much more righteous than eunuchs.

He straightened his back and shouted, "Your Majesty! The body bent down again, "Your Majesty! ”

The nasal voice was thick and tearful.

Luo Guifei saw these officials: "Cui Zheng, you are so bold!" You have people besiege the palace to kill Your Majesty, what about my brothers? Invite my brother into the palace. ”

Cui Zheng almost thought that Luo Guifei was now the master, until he saw the eunuch leading the way in front of him walking with his head down, and turned a deaf ear to Luo Guifei's words.

Cui Zheng didn't pay any attention to Luo Guifei anymore, and quickened his pace to keep up, and the other officials also held back their dizziness and hurriedly walked across the white bridge, followed Cui Zheng into the palace, and saw the emperor sitting on a dragon bed at a glance.

The emperor was writing something at his desk, a piano was thrown aside, and papers were scattered on the ground.

This scene is different from what you see from the outside.

"Your Majesty." Cui Zheng shouted, Putong knelt down and leaned over to hit his head on the ground and cried, "The crime deserves death." ”

Behind him, there was a kneeling sound of banging his head, and cries resounded through the palace.

The emperor was awakened at this time, looked at the official who was kneeling on the ground, smiled, and carried the freshly written paper in both hands: "Cui Aiqing, you came just in time, come and see the song I just composed." ”

The emperor must not be crazy, right? The weeping officials raised their heads.

But no matter whether the emperor is frightened stupid or crazy, as long as he is alive, he must immediately clean up the mess and calm people's hearts.

The emperor was invited to the Great Imperial Palace, which he had not been here for a long time, and most of the soldiers and horses in Henan Province and Jingying were still imprisoned, and Cui Zheng did not dare to use these Zhenwu troops, but fortunately, there were still many eunuchs left in the palace.

The eunuchs rode or galloped through the streets to spread the news that His Majesty was safe and about to ascend to the throne.

The corpse of Quanhai was salvaged and placed in front of the main hall, and Cui Zheng led hundreds of officials to bow to the emperor on the dragon chair three times and bow nine times, and the mountain shouted long live.

The emperor, who was originally quietly sleeping on the dragon chair with the piano sheet and the piano, woke up, not knowing whether he was frightened by the officials in the hall or frightened by the sound and screamed.

The eunuchs hurriedly knelt down to appease, and Cui Zheng also stepped forward, but the emperor was always frightened and suddenly shouted: "Wu Ya'er." ”

With this voice shouting, a soldier in armor came out of the pillar and leaned over: "The last general." ”

Cui Zheng and others found him at this time, and after entering the palace, they also looked around, but they didn't see any trace of this person, and wondered if he also died in the lake, so he put on armor.

The officials, who were already unfamiliar with him, didn't recognize it for a while, and thought it was an ordinary soldier escorting His Majesty to the court.

The emperor stretched out his hand to wave away the people surrounding him, and Wu Ya'er walked past everyone to the dragon chair, knelt down on one knee and reached out to hold the emperor's hand.

"Your Majesty, the minister is here." He said.

The Emperor took his hand and sat down.

The hall was silent, and the scene froze.

Wu Ya'er broke the stagnation: "Your Majesty, the adults are here, please discuss the affairs of the court." ”

The emperor sat on the dragon chair, his scattered eyes gradually condensed, and his gaze swept in front of him, as if he recognized who they were.

"You're all here." He said, his voice tired, but finally no longer weird.

Cui Zheng bowed his head and choked: "Your Majesty, it's too late for the ministers." ”

"It's not too late." The Emperor said, "What is going on?" ”

"This matter is a long story, Your Majesty was deceived by the whole sea, and Rong Chen waited for the report." Cui Zheng said.

The emperor said, "Come on." ”

After resuming the dialogue between the monarch and the ministers, Cui Zheng bowed his head and retreated from the dragon chair, and the other officials were also busy returning to their respective positions, but Wu Ya'er, who was about to get up, was kept by the emperor.

"Wu Ya'er is in front of the palace." The Emperor said, gesturing to the side.

A eunuch who stood in this position for the first time hurriedly retreated, Wu Ya'er didn't understand and didn't care about whether it was in line with the rules or not, so he stood aside.

The officials who were already standing in the hall watched this scene and no one spoke.

"Your Majesty, here's the thing, the previous ministers checked the military department....." Cui Zheng said.

The officials in the hall began to tell the story from the beginning with anger or grief in turn, but they were already familiar with these things and could talk about them with their eyes closed, so more often their eyes fell on Wu Ya'er.

Now this scene is the result and scene they expected, except for one more person.

Wu Ya'er.

Who the hell is this? How did it come about?

......

......

The sound of horses' hooves and footsteps in the winter field was vibrating, accompanied by the sound of buzzing through the air, followed by the sound of beeping and crashing.

A rain of arrows flew and crashed into the round shield raised on this side.

Rao is like this, there are still people who are injured, and the wounded people are quickly dragged into the middle of the circle, and the soldiers on the front and back sides have already filled the vacancy, just like a bucket that is all together and close, and the bucket will continue to grow smaller because of the injury, but there will be no leakage.

After the bolts, the two sides are closer.

"Shieldmen, retreat, spears, kill."

The soldiers and horses on both sides collided together, and the swords, guns, and weapons collided sharply.

A soldier's broadsword struck a soldier on the shoulder of the soldier opposite, and the soldier screamed, but the spear in his hand was still delivered, and at the same time three spears followed, stabbing the soldier with the knife over.

Rolling forward layer by layer, crushing the soldiers on the opposite side, even with injuries without stopping, in addition to the pain of injury, their expressions are numb, and their movements are mechanical, and they make a move like a behemoth, as if they can't cut through it, and they can't cut it down......

The eyes of the soldiers on the opposite side became more and more frightened, more and more people fell, but their formation could not be restored in time, the team became more and more loose, and the attack gradually became a defense instead of an attack, step by step, I don't know which one started to flee backwards first, and suddenly collapsed.

The drums were beating, not to collect troops, but to form a formation.

"Onward! Advance! "There is a call to the field.

The circular team moved rapidly, turned into a phalanx, and spread its wings on two wings to chase after the scattered soldiers and horses.

The fleeing soldiers were even more like a tide, and they had no formation, and they ran wildly on the four fields.

There were no reinforcements in the distance, and this time they were unable to come after retreating.

Li Minglou, who was standing on the city gate and looking out, exhaled softly.
