Chapter 765: Truth (1)
Empress Dowager Yu can afford to let it go, and now she has to rely on Sheng Hong and tell the truth.
"Your father's imperial tomb suddenly collapsed, and the emperor was frightened, and led several vassal kings and clan officials to the imperial tomb to confess. When I went, I deliberately brought 3,000 guards from the Royal Forest. ”
"The imperial tomb is in the capital, at the foot of the Son of Heaven. With 3,000 guards accompanying him, it should be fine. ”
"But I didn't expect that as soon as the emperor led people into the imperial mausoleum, he was caught off guard by more than 10,000 thieves who had been ambushed earlier......"
Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Yu's brows furrowed deeper.
Sheng Hong also frowned, and asked in a deep voice: "There are already hundreds of guards in the imperial tomb, why didn't even the slightest rumor come out before?" Where did these more than 10,000 rebels come from, and who is the leader? ”
Empress Dowager Yu's tone became more and more bitter: "Among the hundreds of guards in the imperial tomb, there is the internal response of that gang of traitors. Two days earlier, the well water had been secretly poisoned. The guards were all poisoned and killed. Captain Chu died the most miserable, and was beheaded alive. ”
"The imperial tomb is already secluded, and there are no people in a radius of dozens of miles. The more than 10,000 rebels, as if they appeared overnight, quietly sneaked into the imperial tomb and set up an ambush. ”
"Now that I think about it, your father's mausoleum collapsed suddenly, and someone must have done something from it."
"This person secretly set up a poison plan, one ring after another, just to lure the emperor out of the palace and go to the imperial tomb, which is easy to start."
"All the people who went with the emperor have been captured. The civil servants all suffered a lot, but fortunately their lives were saved. ”
Several generals refused to be captured, fought hard, and were all killed by the traitors. General Yin was also slashed and seriously wounded. ”
Yin Xiaoxiao, who had never spoken out, suddenly turned red, and tears were dripping.
The husband was captured alive, and the father was seriously injured, and I don't know what the situation was. In the past month, she has been like being fried and roasted, and she has to hold on so hard that she can't fall down. Because there is still a young Brother Lin who needs to be taken care of......
Yin Xiaoxiao cried, Xiao Yuhan, Zhao Changqing, and Li Xiangru also cried together.
Zhao Changqing and Li Xiangru are thinking about their husbands, and Xiao Yuhan is even more love-hate to Emperor Jian'an.
Xie Mingxi did not say anything to consol. At this moment, no amount of good words is useless. Only by rescuing everyone as soon as possible can we get rid of the haze in front of us.
"There are more than 10,000 rebels, and against 3,000 royal forest guards, it was a surprise attack, and they had the upper hand."
Sheng Hong raised his head and looked directly at Empress Dowager Yu: "However, the three thousand guards bowed their heads, and the traitors must have many casualties." The capital has sufficient troops, so General Chu led his troops to exterminate the rebels and rescue the emperor and his ministers. ”
Empress Dowager Yu smiled bitterly again: "50,000 Divine Guards, 50,000 Imperial Forest Army, and 100,000 elite soldiers surrounded the imperial tomb impenetrable." ”
"But the emperor is in the hands of traitors, and the vassal kings, clansmen, and civil officials have also been captured. As soon as General Chu sent troops to test it, the gang of traitors killed an official and hung the official's head on the flagpole. ”
After three rounds, the traitor threw a letter with an arrow, saying that if there was any change in the future, he would kill the emperor. General Chu no longer dared to act easily, so he could only continue to surround the imperial tomb and confront the traitors. ”
Not only that, but they also asked for rice. If you don't give it, you will continue to kill. ”
"Those who go to the imperial tomb with the emperor are all important ministers of the court. The three pavilion elders and two scholars, as well as the squire and the imperial history, are also fourth-grade officials at the lowest. These are all ministers of the Great Qi humerus, and they can't afford to kill or hurt any of them. ”
"Moreover, the family members of these officials went to the old mansion of Lu Ge and Li Ge to cry and plead for mercy. The two elders were also hesitant and did not know how to break the deadlock. ”
……
This gang of traitors is ruthless and insidious, and they are thoughtful and meticulous. It's like a bunch of hedgehogs with spikes all over their bodies, unable to get their mouths out of their mouths, and extremely difficult to entangle.
Emperor Jian'an is the biggest life-saving hole card in their hands.
If the traitor ruthlessly killed Emperor Jian'an, things would be much simpler. Not to mention more than 10,000 rebels, even 235,000 can't afford such a big storm.
Sheng Hong's expression was calm, and he exchanged a solemn look with Xie Mingxi.
"Dare to ask the queen mother," Xie Mingxi slowly opened his mouth: "What do these traitors want?" ”
I don't know how long I have been secretly planning to create such a situation. It can't be just to get some rice!
Empress Dowager Yu's eyes suddenly sank.
Xiao Yuhan glanced at Empress Dowager Yu with a complicated expression, and said softly: "After the traitors captured the emperor and the ministers, they shot a letter with an arrow. ”
"The content of this letter has only been read by the queen mother and the two elders."
It seems that the strangeness has fallen into this letter.
What can make Empress Dowager Yu say that Mo Shen makes the two pavilion elders helpless?
Xie Mingxi's eyes narrowed slightly, and a strange light flashed under his eyes.
Sheng Hong's voice sounded: "Queen Mother, what are the traitors going to do?" How will they be able to release them? ”
Empress Dowager Yu's eyes swept over the faces of Sheng Hong and her daughters-in-law one by one, and after a while, she said slowly: "The mourning family will take out the letter." You all take a look. ”
……
This is a very ordinary letter. Ordinary envelopes, ordinary stationery. The handwriting was surprisingly quite upright, and there was only one sentence, which could be seen clearly at a glance.
sent Empress Dowager Yu to the imperial mausoleum, and released Emperor Jian'an.
Everyone gasped and looked at the expressionless Empress Dowager Yu.
Xie Mingxi had vaguely guessed a few points, and he was also shocked at this time. Not to mention Xiao Yuhan and others.
This gang of traitors is simply insidious and vicious.
How did Empress Dowager Yu be willing to risk her life and replace Emperor Jian'an?
Taking a step back, even if Empress Dowager Yu is willing to sacrifice like this, the courtiers must not nod. No one can afford the notoriety of forcing the Queen Mother to death!
Daqi rules the world with filial piety. Emperor Jian'an is even more famous as a "filial son". exchanging his mother's life for his own life means that Emperor Jian'an will leave the imperial mausoleum safely, and he will have no shame to do anything more.
This completely forced Emperor Jian'an to a desperate situation. It's even more ruthless than killing Emperor Jian'an with one knife!
"What a vicious ploy!" Xie Mingxi seemed to be talking to himself, his voice was not high, but it was enough for everyone to hear it: "These traitors are definitely not human. ”
Sheng Hong's eyes darkened.
This ploy is indeed vicious. No wonder Empress Dowager Yu has always hidden this letter and never passed it on.
However, what kind of hatred do the traitors have with Empress Dowager Yu, and why do they do this?
"Queen Mother, in the past month, have you found out where these traitors came from?" Sheng Hong asked in a deep voice.
Empress Dowager Yu shook her head: "It hasn't been found out yet." More than 10,000 people seemed to appear out of thin air. ”
Of course, there are no people in the sky who appear out of thin air.
The origin of more than 10,000 rebels is by no means ordinary.
Xie Mingxi and Sheng Hong quickly glanced at each other, and the same thought flashed in their hearts.
