Chapter 370: Jingzhao Bloody Night
When the last secret letter was sent, King Yong Shangguan Chengyou breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face, what should be done, he has already done it, manpower has been exhausted, and what he sees is the will of heaven.
If it is done, it will ascend to the sky in one step, and if it is defeated, it will fall forever.
It's nothing more than that, compared to the despair of being confined now, it won't be much worse. Gnats are still phototaxis, how can they not give it a go? Thinking of the current situation, Shangguan Chengyou did not hesitate.
Shangguan Yongping, who was in the palace of King Min, was also extremely determined, and they were all waiting for that day to come.
In this world, the most uncomfortable thing is not that there is no food, but that after being beaten wildly, there is still no food to eat. In that case, why not take someone else's job?
This statement may be vulgar, but the truth is very real, Shangguan Chengyou and Shangguan Yongping think so.
Shangguan Chengyou's thoughts, Chen Wanrou vaguely guessed a little, but she couldn't be completely sure.
Before going to Chonghua Palace, she entrusted her son Shangguan Heng to her confidant palace maid Zishang, and now Zishang has already left Yongwang's Mansion with Shangguan Heng. But these days, no one in the house has found out about this matter, which I don't know whether to say lucky or sad.
Luckily, he didn't have to be confined to captivity; Sadly, Shangguan Chengyou ignored him so far.
The Hou clan in King Min's Mansion was sensitive to Shangguan Yongping's abnormality. She had twice mentioned returning to Minzhou as soon as possible, but Shangguan Yongping always murmured: "Can I still go back?" Now that he has returned to Jingzhao, how could he let us leave so easily? ”
Who he was, the Hou clan knew very well, and he was speechless for a while. She looked at Shangguan Yongping, who was always busy coming in and out, and the ominous feeling in her heart could not be dissipated.
No matter what these two princesses thought in their hearts, while Shangguan Chengyou and Shangguan Yongping were waiting and planning, that night finally came. This night is the fifth night of the fourth month of the 43rd year of Changtai, and it is also known as the "Jingzhao Blood Night" in later history.
On this night, Shangguan Chengyou also asked the governor of the palace to make a hexagram, which was a hexagram on the underground thunder, and the hexagram said "Yu, Li Jianhou Xingshi", and said "move with the times, run without error".
This hexagram indicates that the military plan will definitely be able to achieve its wish. In this way, Shangguan Chengyou was even more confident, and when he thought of what he was about to do, he felt that his heart and blood were boiling.
But he forgot that the hexagram is vast and the mystery is far-reaching, and even Si Tianjian Jun Fule is not completely sure that he can occupy the right place, how can the history of the governor of the district be right?
In the dark midnight, the walls of King Yong's Mansion quietly flew into several black shadows. These black shadows moved quickly, and they quickly came face to face with the Jinwuwei soldiers guarding the Yongwang Mansion. After a fierce fight, all of these Jinwuwei soldiers were killed by the Black Shadow.
In order to facilitate Shangguan Chengyou's actions, Emperor Jingxing transferred the Jin Wuwei soldiers who guarded the Yongwang Palace, and none of them were strong in martial arts. These Jinwuwei soldiers are just sacrifices given to Shangguan Chengyou by Emperor Jingxing.
"Lord, everything is ready outside, two thousand soldiers are ready to go, please move outside the house. The Mansion of King Min has already started an incident, and the people who have been planted in the Jinwu Left Guard have also instigated some soldiers. The lord can go straight to the imperial city, and then the Jinwu soldiers will open the palace gate, and the Jinwuwei soldiers outside the city gate will not be able to arrive in time......"
The black shadow quickly explained the situation outside the Yongwang Mansion, and then asked Shangguan Chengyou to step out of the Yongwang Mansion, lead them to rush to the imperial city, meet with the Jin Wuwei who was waiting there, and go straight to the inner city of the palace.
"Let's go! We have to enter the inner city of the palace before the rest of the Jin Wuwei arrive......" Shangguan Chengyou thought that without thinking about it, he was ready to leave the Yongwang Mansion. After being confined here for a period of time, and stepping out of the mansion, he felt that there was still a big world outside, no matter what, he must try his best tonight!
"Lord Wang......" At this time, a call came from behind him. At this time, this voice was low and soft, but it went straight into Shangguan Chengyou's ears.
He turned around and saw Chen Wanrou standing in the courtyard, looking at him quietly like this, her eyes seemed to be moist. Under the reflection of the firelight, her figure is slim, like a blooming lotus flower.
“…… Wait until I get back! At this moment, Shangguan Chengyou suddenly felt that his throat was dry, and the ghost made him say such a sentence, and then turned around and rushed out of the mansion. He took 2,000 dead soldiers along Shifu Street and went straight to the gate of the imperial city.
The 2,000 dead soldiers brought by Shangguan Chengyou soon converged with Shangguan Yongping's more than 1,000 people. Three thousand people moved towards the imperial gate as fast as they could.
Three thousand people is not a small number, especially when the three thousand people are running forward quickly, the huge muffled sound that shakes Shifu Street, like thunder, wakes up the important ministers who live here.
Wei Jingyao, Xiao Houren and other people who were sleeping lightly had already put on their clothes, and they thought that this was spring thunder. But then they heard the earth-shattering sound of fighting, and the streets were full of firelight, like the daylight.
At the intersection of Shifu Street, the 3,000 men and horses of the two kings met the 5,000 Jinwuwei soldiers who had been waiting here for a long time! The five thousand gold guards, the front, with bows and arrows in their hands, waited in a half-squatting position, and the sharp light of the arrows was even more cold under the light of the torches.
Behind the archers, there are soldiers with tasseled spears, and the rows are silent, like a net that has been laid out a long time ago, waiting for the fish to break in!
Seeing such a situation, Shangguan Chengyou and Shangguan Yongping knew that their plan to start an incident this time had already been known. Such a thing, Lu Mi will die!
But at this moment, Shangguan Chengyou and Shangguan Yongping did not have the slightest fear in their hearts, but were extremely excited!
"Generals! Come on! Today, it's either life or death! There is still a chance to survive if you fight hard, and there is no place to die if you retire! Shangguan Chengyou roared, and the sword in his hand pointed straight forward.
"It's time to make meritorious deeds! All the generals rush! Shangguan Yongping also shouted with all his strength, leading the soldiers, rushing forward desperately, wanting to cross this road of defense!
The dead soldier who rushed to the front blocked Jin Wuwei's bow and arrow with his shield, and step by step, the distance between the two sides was reduced to the shortest possible time. Despite this, there were still many dead people who kept falling, and those who rushed up from behind could only trample on their corpses and continue to rush forward.
Broken shields, broken bows and arrows, and corpses that kept falling to the ground, and blood gushing out, were scattered on this long avenue of Shifu. These dead soldiers fought with the Jinwuwei soldiers, fighting for that glimmer of hope of survival.
More and more people fell, and the osmanthus trees on both sides of Shifu Street witnessed the killing, and their blood flowed into the artificial stream next to the street, and finally the water was dyed red.
In the Zichen Hall in the palace, the lights are bright. It was already three o'clock, but Emperor Jingxing was not sleepy, but copied Taizu's imperial book with great interest. He always felt that Taizu's hooks and paintings looked simple, but the momentum was extraordinary.
When they came, they were not satisfied. Perhaps, it was because of the faint sound of shouting and killing that made him uneasy.
"Tang Mi, what's going on outside?" Finally, Emperor Jingxing stopped his pen and asked Tang Mi, who was serving on the side.
"Return to the Emperor. Five thousand Jinwu or so guards were already waiting at the intersection of Shifu Street. Now that three minutes have passed, it must be a foregone conclusion, just waiting for Jin Wu Zhonglang to report on the battle situation. Tang Mi lowered his head and said respectfully.
"Spread my will: Except for the two kings, surrender or not, it doesn't matter if you kill!" Emperor Jingxing yawned, and finally felt a little sleepy, but he still gave this order.
Whoever dares to rob him of the throne, no matter who they are, will be killed! This is what he told himself when he ascended the throne in Hanyuan Palace.
The lives of the two kings must be kept, but their minions must be cut off completely! Those who dare to rebel are not his people, but his enemies.
Tang Mi took the order and left, and this command was transmitted to Shifu Street at the fastest speed, and at this time, the battle situation in Shifu Street had come to an end.
Looking at the corner of Shifu Street, it was densely packed with corpses. These corpses, including those of the dead soldiers of the two kings and the soldiers of the Jinwuwei, are all the sons of Dayong.
"Lord! The battle is decided, we cover your escape! Come on! Leave the green mountains in the ......" A dead soldier stood in front of Shangguan Chengyou, but before he finished speaking, he had already fallen, and a sharp arrow was stuck in his chest.
If the heavens had eyes, they would weep.
These people who are fighting for life and death are all soldiers of Dayong. If they die on the battlefield and die in a foreign invasion, it will be the blessing of Dayong, and they will be remembered for eternity. But now, not to resist the enemy, but to fight for power, they are here in Jingzhao, on the Shifu Street named after Taizu, the people kill each other, how is it different from cannibalism?
For a dynasty, the saddest thing is not that the land was invaded, but that the cluster of arrows that should have been aimed at foreign enemies was shot at its own people. No matter what the reason, this night, Jingzhao had a fight, and the blood on Shifu Street was not stopping......
When the sound of the fight stopped, Wei Jingyao and Xiao Houren and other important ministers opened the door of the mansion tremblingly, and the thick smell of blood came to their noses.
Seeing this scene, Wei Jingyao and Xiao Houren couldn't help but burst into tears, and felt that something was shattered in their hearts!
And Shen Huashan, Zuo Liangzhe and other courtiers who hurried from Jingtai Street were also stunned when they saw the tragic situation on Shifu Street.
Shen Huashan's always kind face was full of tears at the moment. He was supported by his grandson Shen Yuxian, staring at the corpses deadly, tears did not stop, but his body became more and more straight. The corpses of this entire long street are all the soldiers and civilians of Dayong!
The death of the country is also its calamity, and the people are the mustard; Although Da Yong has been for a long time, he has killed his people, the country has lost Rui, and his virtue has fallen!
