Chapter 70: Mutiny in the Imperial City
General Liang swept straight to the Nian Mansion with a large number of troops, and the frightened Nian Xiang's legs were weak and he almost fell on the chair, reluctantly stood up his waist, and asked with a smile: "I don't know what General Liang has to do when he comes to my Nian Mansion?" β
"Come to serve tea" He saw that the old general's face was not good, and he invited him to the throne with a smile, so he hurriedly ordered the butler to serve tea.
"Hmph" General Liang was unceremoniously, sat on the main seat and smashed the saber he carried on the table, the appearance of the tiger made Xiang Ye feel a little worried, after all, he was a general who led the troops to fight all the year round, and he didn't know how many years of dancing and ink were pressed on the momentum.
"You come and tell me, what are you plotting with Xiangye recently?" He took a sip of tea, stared at Xiangye and asked sharply.
"The old minister was just discussing the weather change with the prince, and he didn't discuss anything else. Why did General Liang ask this question? "Sure enough, it was the old fox's civil official, who said that such a major event as the usurpation of the dynasty was a change in the weather, everyone knew that all conspiracies were carried out underground, and no one dared to say it blatantly, even if the prime minister was in his own yard at the moment, he did not dare to blatantly announce the rebellion.
"Hmph, Qing'er was assassinated last night, do you dare to say that it has nothing to do with you?" In the end, he is a military general, he can't figure out the twists and turns inside, and he speaks straightforwardly and neatly.
"What? When is it happening, and how is the prince now? As soon as Xiang Ye heard that King You was assassinated, his knees were weak, I was afraid that it was Qianmo's husband who did it, but at this time, Xiangye didn't dare to say it, if this old general Liang really knew that it was because of Qianmo that King Youwang was assassinated, this old general would let people kill Qianmo, and it would be his own flesh and blood, Xiangye firmed his eyes, and made up his mind not to let this martial artist know.
Old General Liang looked at the anxiety in the eyes of the old fox in front of him, and lowered his head suspiciously, could it be that his daughter guessed wrong?
"Due to excessive blood loss, he is still in a coma, and Lao Xiangye is worried." General Liang chose to believe the words of this old horseman, because he knew that if something happened to Prince You, their young family would not be able to escape, and when Qing'er ascended the throne, he would still need this Xiangye's power in the court to stabilize the rumors.
"The general is going to the palace, and the minister wants to visit the prince." He said flatteringly.
"General Ben is going to the outskirts of Beijing to see the army in the northwest, and he will not raise troops to force the palace for the time being, and everything will be said when Qing'er's injuries are confirmed. As for the palace, Nian Xiang will go by himself" After saying that, he picked up the saber on the table, and strode away without looking at Nian Xiang.
As if my body was crushed, I opened my still heavy eyelids and looked at the sky outside, it was already dusk, and I actually slept for a whole day.
"Awake?" His cold voice frightened me, and it turned out that he was in the outer hall.
"Come and eat when you wake up, you haven't eaten all day." He lifted the jade curtain, walked towards me, and said softly.
"I can't eat it." Lift the thin quilt and get off the tower, walk to the dressing table and comb your hair.
"The Ghost King has been deposed, and his tendons have been broken. Can you come to dinner now? β
I rinsed my mouth, gently wiped my face with a warm towel, and when I heard his words, I hammered my eyes and shook my head, and waved my hand to let all the waiters stand down.
I looked at the closed door and said softly, "I want you to abolish his roots, not his people." β
"It looks like I'm going to be wrong about the lady, but it's okay, the lady will get her wish."
When he learned that his hands had been abolished, King Youwang was furious and ordered all the servants in his garden to break their tendons and tendons and throw them into the mass grave.
The Youwang, who had recovered his strength, was bent on the plan to force the palace to kill the king, and he probably wanted to divide the five horses of the Spirit King with his own hands on the day he ascended the throne.
Finally, it didn't take long to wait, the tense situation broke out because of the sudden collapse of the emperor, the imperial city was in chaos, Major General Liang with the northwest soldiers and horses poured straight into Kyoto, occupying every street and alley of the imperial city, 200,000 soldiers and horses made the originally wide streets of Kyoto more crowded in an instant.
The King of You, sitting on a tall horse, was supported by many soldiers into the Forbidden City.
Martial law was imposed everywhere in the Forbidden City, and the Imperial Forest Army in the hands of the Prince and the Liang Army in the hands of General Liang fought in the Imperial City.
The eunuchs and palace maids hid in their rooms and did not dare to go out, and they only saw soldiers in armor fighting their compatriots from afar.
The Spirit King went out early, and ordered me not to go out of the Spirit King's Mansion for half a step, I vaguely felt that something big was going to happen, I guessed that if the King of You ascended the throne, he would definitely take crazy revenge on the King of Spirit, and only thought that General Liang, who had 200,000 soldiers and horses in the northwest as a strong backing, had taken the King of Tranquility to kill the Palace of Nourishing Heart at this moment, looking at the dense Imperial Forest Army outside the Palace of Nourishing Heart, General Liang smiled proudly, how could the soldiers who embroidered their legs in the inner courtyard of the palace all day long be able to defeat their own Liang army.
He looked at the young prince, looked at all the soldiers with full anger, and said loudly: "The prince plotted to poison Your Majesty, we should crusade against the traitors for the emperor." β
He was satisfied with the accusation that the prince thought of the prince, and with the collapse of the emperor last night, the desire in his eyes continued to rise, and he was never fuller, as if he saw his own Qing'er sitting on the throne.
If the prince is defeated today, then what remains in the history books is that the prince murdered the emperor for the throne, and Prince You raised troops to punish the traitors, and he is the emperor who is expected to return.
Because no one has the audacity to question anyone who sits on the throne, and everyone who sits on the throne sits on the dry bones of thousands of soldiers.
General Liang listened to the deafening sound of rumbling in the rear, and saw General Sima in the northwest following behind with the army from the northwest, and became more and more proud.
But he didn't feel proud for long, and when he saw General Sima take the lead in killing his own Liang family's army, he froze the sinister smile on the corner of his mouth.
The form changed instantly, forming a front and back flanking trend, even though the soldiers of the Liang family were used to fighting, but at this moment it was the inner courtyard of the palace, and the Imperial Forest Army knew the advantages of the royal inner courtyard better, and soon most of the Liang family army was wiped out, and the embarrassment of the prince was solved at once.
"Dad, the army in the northwest has rebelled," Liang Guifei said in a panic as she looked at the soldiers who were gradually falling.
"No, the army in the northwest never rebelled, they have always been sincere to the emperor, and we underestimated the dead emperor." With a swing of his sword, he slashed two soldiers with broadswords in their hands, and said urgently.
"Dad, you take Qing'er away, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood." Long Yuqing narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and a huge unwillingness rose from the bottom of his heart.
General Liang did not leave, but sent half of the soldiers and horses to escort Long Yuqing out of the siege, until General Liang and Liang Guifei were captured alive by the crown prince in the Yangxin Palace, Long Yuqing escaped from the imperial city, all the way from the small road to the suburbs of Beijing in the courtyard of a farmhouse that had not lived for a long time.
He looked at the dirty blood on his body, squeezed his fist with little strength, and thought that his mother and grandfather might have been captured alive by the prince and were being tortured, a huge discomfort rose from his chest, he knew that the Liang family no longer existed, from the moment the mother concubine drugged his father, the Liang family was either higher or lost.
He knew that his mother and grandfather meant to send him out of the imperial city to keep the last trace of blood, and he didn't really want him to make a comeback.
The prince, dressed in a bright yellow robe, was holding a blood-stained sword in his hand, and he also had doubts in his heart when he looked at General Sima below.
General Sima saluted the prince and said, "It was the emperor who secretly ordered me to return to Beijing and ask me to help the prince." "At this moment, the crown prince didn't know that this General Sima was not the first emperor to return to the capital, but the spirit king who had not appeared in the palace for a day today ordered General Sima to do this with a tiger talisman, and he also ordered General Sima to say so.
The crown prince did not doubt him, but felt that this was the second preparation made by his father, looking at the decadence all over the palace in his heart, he sighed in his heart, almost, almost himself and his mother died without a place to be buried.
At this moment, the crown prince has not realized how well he is protected by his father and mother, if there is no help from King Ling in this coup, he will really be recorded in the history books of the inner court of the palace as a rebellious minister and thief who seeks power and usurps the throne.
He glanced sadly at the soldiers who had died a lot, all of whom were the people of his Tianli Kingdom, and then stopped and said: "Please General Sima stay in Beijing for a while longer, and wait for the great affairs of my father, this time General Sima has made great contributions, and on the day of the new emperor's registration, General Sima will definitely be rewarded for his meritorious deeds." Then go back to the northwest to guard the west hammer for this day. β
His words are now a holy decree, and even General Sima, who has a heavy army, does not dare to obey it in the slightest.
The Spirit King stood on the walls of the palace in an ice-colored robe, looking at the death brought about by this long-planned coup d'Γ©tat, which was so suffocating, but his brows were extremely flat.
Looking at the prince who was a little tired at the moment, a trace of jealousy and unwillingness flashed in his eyes, why did he do all the dirty things of killing people and setting fires, his hands were stained with the blood of so many living people, and he was afraid that he would be killed by ghosts on the night, why was the prince at that time safely protected and loved by the emperor in the palace.
There are countless people who died in his killing hall, and he himself understands the innocence of those people, but he also understands the truth of cutting grass without leaving roots, so he never even spared children in every family.
At first, there will be a lot of anxiety and panic, he can't sleep all night, and he will have nightmares for a long time, but in the end he will gradually become numb, and he will no longer have pity for anyone.
He thought of his own woman, and he only had her.
He thought that every time he woke up, the woman's quiet face was safe by his side, and there was a great satisfaction in his heart, before he knew her, he never thought that such a sinful man would one day have such a soft touch of his heart.
His father died in the middle of the night yesterday, and he summoned him to the bed and said slowly: "Don't be like Qing'er. These seven words made his heart throb suddenly, and only these seven words were left to him before his father died, and he passed on the throne that could kill life and death to Long Yuzun.
Aside from everything, he is just a father, but how can he be so biased?
