Chapter 110: The New Emperor Takes Over the World
The night gradually receded, and the city of Linzhou gradually appeared on the ground, and there were figures swaying and walking around in the misty blue light, some old and some young, moving slowly and with sluggish faces, like wandering spirits.
The wandering spirits fluttered blankly inside and outside the city, until there was the sound of gongs, and their steps became faster and went away from the sound of gongs and drums in all directions.
"The princess has given porridge."
"Everyone line up, don't crowd."
There are two cauldrons in front of the palace, a basket of dishes and chopsticks is opened, a group of eunuchs command the people who come to line up and distribute the dishes and chopsticks at the same time, in front of a large cauldron, the princess wears the clothes of a servant, takes off the bead hairpin and does not apply powder, and holds a long spatula in the cuffs of the head and stirs vigorously.
The people who received the dishes and chopsticks stepped forward, and the princess scooped them out and poured them into his bowl with her own hands.
"If it's not enough, you can get it again." She said kindly, seeing the old woman reaching out to help, seeing the young man's concerned eyes, and seeing the little boy reaching out to touch the top of his head.
It has been three days since the princess personally boiled porridge for them, and the hot porridge and the kindness of such a noble person made the people's dazed and sad expressions eased a little.
"Don't be afraid, the reinforcements from the capital have arrived, and the rebels will not come." The eunuchs who maintained order next to them kept saying, "We are from the capital, and we have come so far here to be escorted by a large army." ”
The eunuchs of the palace have already gone into battle to kill the enemy, and now these are the eunuchs in the palace of the capital who have arrived with the army.
A bowl of hot porridge, the princess's concern, and the early autumn sunshine brought the spirits of the city to life, and the number of soldiers running through the streets gradually increased, including many officials, who extinguished the fires everywhere, sorted out the ruined streets, collected the corpses, and searched for the wounded.
The government was wide open, and officials and officials wore tattered but washed official uniforms to go in and out, put up notices, and counted the population.
Outside the city, soldiers and horses were constantly galloping, and there were orders announcing how many miles away to repel the rebels, how many rebels were captured and beheaded, and so on.
These noisy busyness have given Linzhou City a bit of vitality.
It wasn't until the two cauldrons of porridge were finished at noon that the princess returned to the mansion, and as soon as she entered the mansion, she was paralyzed, and the daughters-in-law and daughters on both sides of the palace were anxiously supporting.
Cui Zheng stood in front of the palace and looked at the white hair exposed under the princess's headscarf, and said solemnly: "The princess has worked hard. ”
Although King Lu is not favored, and in such a remote and barren place as the king, the princess is also born in everyone's brocade clothes and food, ten fingers do not touch the spring water, these three days she stood outside the house before dawn every day to personally cook porridge, heavy shovel spoon, keep stirring, serving porridge, talking, so that her arms, waist and legs are swollen and deformed, and her throat is dry and hot....
The princess gritted her teeth and said: "Compared with death, how dare this palace say that it is hard." ”
Cui Zheng said: "In the afternoon, please ask the princess to visit the injured in the city." ”
That is only the rest time for eating, and a concubine looked at the princess's older face and couldn't help but speak: "Xiangye, let the princess rest for a day, the princess has not slept for three days." ”
Cui Zheng said coldly: "Ankang Mountain has entered Beijing, and the soldiers and horses from all over the country are thinking differently, do you want to work hard for three days without sleep, or do you want to lie down and watch the world centrifuge every day?" ”
Where did the concubines of King Lu's mansion dare to argue with the prime minister, bowed their heads and muttered, and the princess helped them grit their teeth and prop themselves up.
"Xiangye doesn't need to say much, this palace will go here, and there is Lao Xiangye around." She saluted and thanked her, and looked at the men and women around her, "You all go, change your clothes, comfort the people, repair the state city, and guard the city gate." ”
The men and women were chaotic and high and low in response, Cui Zheng's expression slowed down slightly, and an official galloped in and shouted: "The prince is back!" The rebels repulsed! ”
The people of the palace were at first incredulous, and then they fell to the ground with shouts and cries.
The news also spread in the state city, and there was a commotion outside.
Cui Zheng's expression was immediately surprised and solemn: "Quick, send a message to Your Highness, you can't come back like this, let's discuss how to explain...."
How can a prince who secretly ran away when everyone was resisting the enemy make the people surrender, this is the biggest problem after solving the problem of life and death.
"Xiangye, the prince has already arrived in the state city." The official who reported the news stammered.
Wu Ya'er never cared about them when he led the troops outside, let alone obeyed them, and these letter soldiers who were running back and forth in the state city were arranged by Wu Ya'er, and all the news was conveyed, and they were not screened at all, and they didn't know the severity, the good or the bad, and the proportion.....
Now it's a major event related to the momentum of King Lu's emperor!
Cui Zheng was annoyed: "Wufu is reckless! ”
......
......
On the undulating ground, groups of soldiers and horses galloped, the ground shook, smoke and dust rolled, and the sound of fighting was bursting.
There are hundreds of fugitives in front and thousands in pursuit.
The pursuing soldiers and horses fluttered the banner of the Zhenwu Army, and the two wings were divided, such as the eagle spreading its wings to pursue the deserters in front of the siege, and the victory and defeat were already obvious from the number and formation, so the pursuit was more like a teasing.
At the front of the formation were Wu Ya'er and King Lu, with banners fluttering above their heads, and the two of them were wearing armor and holding weapons.
"Your Highness, please go with the last general to kill the thief." Wu Ya'er said.
King Lu has not yet reacted, the generals of the Jingluo army behind him frowned nervously, let King Lu wear armor and follow the army, now there are many soldiers and horses enough to protect it There will definitely be no danger, but let King Lu personally go to pursue and kill the enemy, the poor man is fierce, and the sword and gun have no eyes!
Of course, this kind of thing can't wait for King Lu to say.....
"Commander, let me wait for His Highness.," said a general.
But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by King Lu.
"The king's wishes!" King Lu said loudly and waved the long knife in his hand.
Wu Ya'er didn't say much, urged the horse to gallop forward, and King Lu followed, leaving everyone behind in the blink of an eye.
Everyone looked surprised, looking at King Lu who followed Wu Ya'er to pounce on the deserters, they couldn't help but rub their eyes, that's right, they were still wearing ordinary military uniforms, but they were different from the King Lu who asked them to wear military uniforms some time ago to avoid being discovered by the enemy.
King Lu turned out to be so heroic!
Wu Ya'er asked King Lu to put on armor and go into battle, King Lu agreed without the slightest hesitation, and now Wu Ya'er asked him to kill the enemy, and he didn't even refuse.
This is not only King Lu's bravery, but also his trust in Wu Ya'er, incomparable trust, the generals of the Jingluo Army are a little sour.
Still, it's too dangerous! They shouted that His Highness was about to chase after him, but was stopped by the Zhenwu army beside them.
"There will be an order for King Lu to kill the thief."
These soldiers don't listen to them, even if they have their own soldiers, the generals of the Jingluo Army feel that they are useless, and they can't fight.
This martial crow is really flying..... is also qualified to fly high, and the generals can only stand helplessly and uneasily, looking at King Lu who is gradually distancing.
The soldiers and horses on both wings were signaled, and their speed was faster, and the queue was elongated, like wings of rapid incitement, blocking the way to escape and driving the prey in front of them together.....
Wu Ya'er fell into the deserters, and suddenly screamed.
But since there is no way out, these thieves also broke out in the last ferocity, a tall and strong thief soldier held a copper hammer, and he ran into Wu Ya'er's long knife and escaped, there were many soldiers and horses on the two wings in front, the thief soldier avoided it smartly, and turned his head to see King Lu who came alone with Wu Ya'er.
King Lu was stunned and wanted to rein in the horse, but the horse didn't seem to understand the order and was still galloping forward.
"His Royal Highness King Lu, be careful." Wu Ya'er shouted.
This King Lu made the thief soldier who was originally a little hesitant suddenly roar, and rushed towards King Lu with a copper hammer with red eyes, even if he wanted to die, pull a prince on his back before he died, this life is worth it!
King Lu also let out a short scream, and subconsciously raised the long knife in front of him.
It's not an attack, it's a defense, and it's useless, the thief can beat King Lu's head with a single blow.
The generals of the Jingluo Army were shocked, and they rushed over one after another regardless of the obstruction of the Zhenwu Army, the distance was too far, it was still too late, Wu Ya'er! You're a dead country!
"Your Highness, kill!" Wu Ya'er let out a loud sound, and at the same time, the long knife flew and tossed.
The flying knives swirled and knocked four or five rebels around them.
Wu Ya'er left his long knife, and instead of urging the horse to chase the hammer thief army, he stretched out the longbow he was carrying behind him.
There was a hum, shout, and the long arrow flew out at the same time as the long knife flew, like a meteor in the blink of an eye, it reached the thief's back, and with a bang, the long arrow did not shoot through the thief's throat, but landed on his wrist.
The thief soldier who had already faced the rushing King Lu screamed, his hand fell, and the hammer tilted to the side.
At this time, hearing Wu Ya'er's shout, King Lu's eyes closed, and he also screamed and cut out the long knife held in front of him.
With a pop, the long knife hit the thief who had lost his weapon in front of the door, and the thief screamed and fell to the ground.
"My king kills the enemy!" Wu Ya'er raised his bow and shouted, "My king is mighty! ”
The generals of the Jingluo army who rushed to this side wide-eyed, King Lu, it turned out to be really brave!
"My king is mighty!"
"My king is mighty!"
They shouted after Wu Ya'er, and the soldiers and horses in front and behind the two wings also shouted in unison.
The shouting shook the earth, King Lu opened his eyes, first looked at the surrounding mountains, and then looked down at the thieves rolling under the horse's hooves, his face was in disbelief and then ecstatic, and then immediately stopped, replaced by a calm and mighty look.
"Kill the thief." He shouted in a deep voice, slashing his long knife at the thieves on the ground.
The tumbling thieves were decapitated.
The generals of the Jingluo army also rushed over at this time, stretched out their long knives and spears to pick up the dead bodies, and shouted around King Lu.
"Kill the thief!"
"Kill the thief!"
A large number of officers and soldiers from the state city happened to see this scene, and everyone was shocked in place.
"King Lu is mighty!" Cui Zheng was the first to come back to his senses and shouted loudly.
After receiving his reminder, the other officials also reacted, jumping off their horses one after another, some crying and some shouting.
"His Royal Highness King Lu personally led his troops to kill the thief!"
"His Royal Highness King Lu led his troops to repel the thief army!"
"His Royal Highness King Lu repels the thief army!"
Look, King Lu personally led the troops, and look, King Lu personally killed the thief soldiers.
It was King Lu who led his troops to relieve the siege of the state city, and it was King Lu who repelled the rebels.
The dead people have died, and the living people only see this real scene, as for why King Lu is not in the city, because King Lu is killing enemies outside the city, as for how King Lu appeared outside the city to kill thieves, why bother to delve into this detail? The result that everyone saw was that King Lu killed the enemy, and King Lu repelled the thieves!
O King Lu, mighty King Lu!
The officials knelt first, and then the crowd also knelt.
Cui Zheng didn't kneel, he walked through the officials and people with the jade seal and walked to King Lu, who was riding a horse and wielding a knife and holding the head of a thief.
"Lord Wang, the first emperor has died." He said.
King Lu seemed to have only seen him at this time, and when he heard this, he threw down the head of the long knife, and climbed off the horse with tears in his eyes.
"Father, father." He cried loudly, beating his chest enough to hit his head on the ground, and there was no heroism, "The sons are incompetent, and the sons are not filial." ”
Cui Zheng knelt down in front of him and lifted the jade seal: "Please Your Majesty, take the mountains and rivers, and settle the world." ”
King Lu was still crying and almost fainted and suffocated, unable to hear or see everything, until Cui asked three times, until the officials kneeling beside him cried in unison, he reached out to take it, and was barely able to stand up by two soldiers.
Cui Zheng leaned over and bowed: "Long live, long live, long live." ”
This time, the soldiers who were standing all dismounted and knelt down: "Long live, long live, long live." ”
Long live the mountain, shaking the heavens and the earth.
In the deafening, Cui Zheng did not shout again, and raised his head slightly to look in one direction, which was far away from the new emperor, and the officials and soldiers blocked the sight, but they could not block the light of the person.
Especially the light in the eyes of the new emperor.
Cui Zheng looked at Wu Ya'er, who was kneeling on one knee in armor and had a straight back, and couldn't hide his handsome face with his head down.
Takeo .... Treacherous.
