Chapter 495: The National Thief Should Be Punished
The enthronement ceremony is still continuing, the few Wenchen who stood up have been taken down by the soldiers, and there is a dead silence in the field, and the sound of turbulent fighting outside makes the hearts of everyone in the field who were already desperate swaying again, and some people who originally planned to surrender with the flow are thinking about watching and watching again at this time, but they are afraid of Li Nian, so they can only sit silently.
The saint has been pushed to the center, and the little eunuch on the side is holding a brand-new crown in his hand and sending it to him, Li Nian glanced at him, bowed down with his robe, bowed his head slightly, and just waited for him to put the crown on Li Nian with his own hands, which can be regarded as a Zen ceremony.
It's just that the saint's hand is trembling at this time, his face is like earth, and he can't even stand up straight, no matter how confused he is at the moment, he knows it, but he is afraid that as soon as the Zen position is completed, he will be killed by Li Nian's order.
But everything was unbearable to him, seeing that he had not moved for a long time, the eunuch behind him stepped forward and held his hand according to Li Nian's instructions, forcing him to take the crown and put it on Li Nian's head.
Everything seemed to be frozen at that moment, but it was finally broken, and before the crown was put on Li Nian's head, a loud bang in the distance frightened the saint's body, and he quickly withdrew his hand from the eunuch, and the crown was also thrown on the ground.
It's just that at this time, the eunuchs didn't care about this anymore, everyone's eyes looked at the East Pavilion Gate that had fallen to the ground, where the smoke and dust were billowing out, and many elite soldiers with long knives rushed straight in, galloping towards this side, and the first horse was the majestic King Li Mi in armor, followed by Gu Qing and Chang'an guards.
The deputy general who stumbled to the Taiji Hall was already covered in blood, but his face was full of panic: "Your Highness, it is the elite soldiers of the Xiao cavalry and the family guards, I am afraid that it is, I am afraid that it will not be able to resist ......."
Li Nian's body remained motionless in place, no one could see his expression, but from his straight body, everyone didn't dare to speak.
Slowly, he straightened up, his eyes full of gloom: "Take them all down, and take him and King Xian with me to see the Yuan family!" He pointed to the saints.
At that moment, the saint had completely lost his strength, and the robe on his body was torn apart by the soldiers, crying and sparing his life.
Xianwang Li Yu's face also changed, he stretched out his hand to help the desk and wanted to stand up, but he couldn't use his strength several times, and it took a while before he shook his body and got up, looking at the cavalry that was pouring in at the East Pavilion Gate in horror, looking at Li Mi and Gu Qing who were getting closer and closer, his teeth were clasped.
None of this was in his expectations, he had already thought about it on the day the rebels broke the city, the saint ascended the throne, the queen mother was no longer as good as before, and even had an errand like an ordinary prince, and he was idle in the mansion all day long to make an idle clan, rather than like this, it is better to fight, as long as he is willing to surrender and support Li Nian's accession to the throne, Li Nian can't treat him slowly no matter what, and he can make a big fuss about it, and win a reputation for tolerance and generosity.
At that time, he will slowly figure it out and take over the connections left by the Queen Mother, and there will always be a chance. Therefore, he sat calmly on the table, ignoring the discussions of others, how could those who have achieved great things care about the reputation in front of them, and once they ascend to the throne, it will be too late to cover up the peace.
However, he didn't expect that Gu Qing would really transfer elite soldiers, and now the rebels in Li Nian's hands would be defeated so quickly, and the situation would suddenly change drastically.
When he heard that the East Pavilion Gate had been attacked, he wanted to quietly leave the seat, but Li Nian asked people to watch them, and it was too late to leave even if he wanted to.
The soldier with the Tang knife had already arrived in front of him, and pulled him out without mercy.
Li Mi and Gu Qing rushed straight to the jade steps of the Taiji Hall with their cavalry, but they stopped, and they were not in a hurry to rush up to take Li Nian, they retreated a few steps to the left and right, and the soldiers behind them also rode their horses and retreated to the left and right, revealing a carriage surrounded in the middle.
The carriage was inconspicuous, but the person who opened the curtain and came down surprised everyone, Xu Siyan helped the queen mother in a bright yellow phoenix robe to get out of the carriage, and walked towards Li Nian step by step under the escort of the soldiers, followed by Gu Mingzhu, Princess Xian and Princess Anping who rushed back from Luoyang.
The rebels never thought that this would be the case, they were forced to retreat step by step, and there was no way to retreat before retreating to Taiji, so they could only surround Li Nian, the sage, and Li Yu, preparing to make a final struggle.
Li Nian pushed aside the crowd, took the knife in the soldier's hand, and pointed at the saint who was no longer human: "Yuan, if you are willing to withdraw and obey the mandate of heaven, I will spare their lives." ”
He looked at the Queen Mother coldly: "On that day, my mother was the first emperor and queen Yuan, you were just a palace maid around Taizong, if it weren't for my mother who took pity on you and allowed you to go back to the palace and stay with the first emperor, would you have your current identity?" I never thought that you would take revenge, and even framed my mother, forcing me to leave Chen Liu, and today I just want to get back what belongs to me. ”
He no longer had to hide the hatred in his heart: "If you dare to act rashly again, I will kill them." ”
The Queen Mother glanced at the saint who was paralyzed in the hands of the soldiers, and Li Yu, who was full of anxiety on the side and was trying to squeeze out the anger, and slowly spoke: "Xuanzhao." ”
Xu Siyan strode forward, stood among the soldiers, and read the edict loudly to the ministers in front of the hall who were either kneeling or hiding aside: "...... The traitor Li Nian committed rebellion, intending to rebel, the crime was monstrous, and the world was punished, so that the hussar general Gu Qing led the troops to quell the rebellion and stabilize the danger of the society. ”
This edict stunned everyone, no one thought that the sage and the virtuous king were still in Li Nian's hands, and the queen mother actually did not hesitate to order Gu Qing to immediately quell the rebellion, so what would happen to Li Nian?
Everyone looked at Li Nian.
Li Nian's handsome face was only distorted at this time, and the Tang knife was fiercely put on the saint's neck, gritting his teeth: "Do you even care about their lives?" ”
"They're your own, don't you care if they're alive or dead?"
This sentence still touched a trace of emotion, the Queen Mother closed her eyes, but when she opened them again, she was clear, and said coldly: "Everyone who is a thief will be punished, and if you don't do it, when will you wait!" ”
When her words fell, Gu Qing and the soldiers behind her had already drawn their swords and rushed towards Li Nian and the rebels, Li Mi escorted the Queen Mother and retreated, and Gu Mingzhu was also busy stepping forward to help the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother's face was as usual, but her hands trembled slightly, she didn't seem to be aware of it, she just bit her lip and walked down step by step, not looking at the saint behind her who was crying and begging her to save her life, begging her to retreat from the army, and Li Yu, who shouted that he was forced, walked down the jade steps step by step.
