Chapter 199. Everbright Lantern No. 8
Wang Tiejun arrived at the city gate, flew out of the city gate, looked at the Zhao family army who was about to attack the city, and said: "Whoever dares to attack the city, I will take his life." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
When the Zhao family army heard this, they looked at the gods in the air, and immediately knelt down, and the general hurriedly ordered the soldiers not to act rashly, and ran to the Chinese army by themselves, and reported to General Cao, the commander of the Chinese army.
General Cao's brows furrowed when he heard this, he came to the gate of the inner city, looked up at Wang Tiejun in the air, and hurriedly saluted: "The immortal has arrived, I don't know what to tell the immortal."
Wang Tiejun nodded and said: "I watched the Zhao army break the city, did not move the people in the slightest, did not open the killing ring in vain, rare, but I don't want to see the blood in the imperial city, now the emperor of the Li family intends to surrender to the Zhao family, I want to fulfill the subjects of the Li family, I don't know if you agree?"
When General Cao heard this, he hurriedly saluted and said: "This is very good, please also ask the immortal to convey our meaning, after the emperor of the Li family returns to obedience, you can go to the capital to listen to the seal, our emperor is wise, and will not be embarrassed with him, all subjects, as long as they submit to my Zhao family's royal family, they are my robe brothers, and they will be treated favorably."
Wang Tiejun nodded and said: "This is very good, you go back first, there will be an envoy to negotiate, I will not interfere with any problems and conditions, you two can negotiate and solve it."
After Wang Tiejun finished speaking, the figure disappeared, General Cao looked at everyone and said: "Pass my order, the three armies immediately retreat to the outer city", the generals received the order, and after a while, the army withdrew, General Cao and several personal soldiers stood outside the inner city, waiting for the arrival of the messenger in the city.
Wang Tiejun returned to the barracks in the inner city, and after a while, Sun Wuji arrived, and immediately saluted: "I have seen Shangxian, I used to have no eyes, please forgive Shangxian."
Wang Tiejun said with a smile: "Lord Sun doesn't have to be polite, you and I are fateful, so I helped one or two, this time, I also want to leave, I hope you will take care in the future."
Wang Tiejun continued: "The commander of the Zhao family's army has agreed that you will go to negotiate, you should immediately report to the Li family emperor, whether you live or die, it is up to him to decide, I just want to make sure you are okay."
Master Sun hurriedly saluted and said, "Wait a minute, when the matter is done, we must drink a few glasses", got up and said goodbye, and hurriedly walked towards the palace.
When I arrived at the palace, I saw the emperor and saluted: "Your Majesty, now that the rebel minister has been suppressed, I have ordered someone to go to the house, and all the family members are gathered and waiting for the emperor to fall."
The emperor gritted his teeth and said: "These traitors have mistaken my country, I can't wait to eat their flesh, gnaw their bones, and I can't cut the hatred in my heart after killing them thousands of times, and these family members will all be killed."
Sun Wuji sighed and said: "Why bother the emperor, the mastermind is dead, it is better to spare their lives and let them fend for themselves."
The emperor was angry, looked at Sun Wuji and said, "Lord Sun, you either execute or kill me, you choose."
Sun Wuji could only salute and say: "The ministers obey the emperor", and then said to the soldiers behind: "Pass the emperor's message, these family members will be executed immediately." The soldiers took the order and hurried away.
Sun Wuji continued: "Your Majesty, now the Zhao family is waiting for us to surrender, I don't know what the emperor intends to do, whether it is war or peace, the ministers will obey the emperor's decision."
The emperor shook his head and said, "Aiqing has good intentions, what are we going to fight with others now?" It's better to surrender, at least you can still wrap up the Li family's royal family and not be slaughtered, you can do it, you are in charge, from now on, there will be no more Li family emperor, and you don't have to call me emperor."
Sun Wuji didn't say anything, hurriedly left the palace, walked towards the city gate, and went to negotiate, Wang Tiejun came to the captured family, showed his figure, and the officers and soldiers who were guarding hurriedly saluted: "I have seen the immortals, please give the immortals orders."
Wang Tiejun said: "This emperor is confused, you are also confused, can you do this kind of massacre of women and children, don't let them go, let them run for their lives, don't embarrass them."
The officers and soldiers watched Wang Tiejun's figure disappear, and then said to the detainees: "Why don't you run for your lives and stay here and wait to be killed?" These family members hurriedly saluted, and then took the old people and children and left in a hurry, and after a while, they left cleanly.
The person who notified the executioner came here to see it, and there was nothing to say, so he left directly and reported to the barracks, Sun Wuji walked out of the city gate, saw the handsome banner of the Zhao family's army, walked over, and saluted: "The southern guard has seen the general."
General Cao also saluted and said: "The general doesn't have to be polite, I listen to the advice of the immortals, wait for the master here, and ask the general to make conditions."
Sun Wuji said: "The general is quick to talk, I only ask the Zhao army to keep my Li family's royal family with incense, and there are no other requirements."
General Cao said: "I can promise the general, the general and the emperor of the Li family, to avoid the war and the disaster, it is really a great merit, a great achievement, my lord is wise, I will definitely meet the general's requirements, and please follow the general, go to the capital, accept the reward, I will use my life to protect you and so on."
Sun Wuji listened to the salute and said: "This is very good, the general, please go into the city to receive the defense." General Cao nodded, and said to the people around him: "Pass my order, the Right Route Army will enter Jinling City, take over the defense of the military camp, form a zero-hour government, issue a notice to the people, and wait for the emperor's arrangement."
General Cao continued: "The herald decrees that all soldiers shall not rob at will, disturb the people, damage buildings, indiscriminately kill innocents, and behead those who violate the order."
"It's the general", the herald hurriedly went to the herald after saluting, and after a while, the army arrived and entered the ancient city of Jinling, everything went smoothly, Sun Wuji looked at General Cao and said: "Thank you general, you avoided the disaster of the destruction of the ancient city, please accept my worship."
General Cao hurriedly helped Sun Wuji up and said: "The general can't help it, I still have a lot of gratitude to the general, obeying the mandate of heaven, and understanding the righteousness", after speaking, the two laughed.
The two walked into the imperial city and settled down for a while, Sun Wuji said goodbye: "General, I will go to meet the emperor of the Li family, let him prepare, and go north with the general tomorrow." General Cao said: "The general goes, tomorrow I will meet the general at the gate of the palace."
Sun Wuji said goodbye to General Cao, came to the palace, and saw the soldiers who followed him from a distance, holding the palace gate with his hand, standing in a row of Zhao troops opposite, without doing anything out of the ordinary, Sun Wuji nodded secretly, this General Cao led the troops in a good way, and the Zhao family was a good general, how could it not be prosperous.
Sun Wuji looked at everyone and said: "It's a matter here, let's go back, please take care of my family, tomorrow I will accompany the emperor to the capital of the Zhao family, I won't go back tonight", everyone hurriedly saluted: "Don't worry, our lordship is here, my lord's family is here", after saying the salute, then left the palace gate and went back to Sun's mansion.
Sun Wuji watched everyone leave, then walked into the palace, saw the emperor, and reported the incident to the emperor, the emperor nodded and said: "It's hard work Lord Sun, I'll prepare, let's leave tomorrow."
After speaking, he got up and sat down, walked to the harem, and prepared to go, Sun Wuji watched the emperor go away, his figure disappeared, and his heart was full of loss, he didn't expect that the words of Mr. Feng Shui Tomb were fulfilled so quickly, but it was a pity that the emperor didn't listen to it at the beginning, and insisted on going his own way.
On the second day, the emperor went out of the palace early, wearing homespun clothes, taking the queen's concubine, and his son and daughter, into the carriage that had been waiting for a long time, looked at Sun Wuji and said: "I wrote a poem yesterday to express my mood at the moment", and then read:
"Alone in the West Building"
The moon is like a hook,
Lonely Wutong deep courtyard lock Qingqiu.
Cut constantly,
Rationalize and mess up,
It's sorrow,
Don't just have a general taste in mind. ”
After reading it, he and Sun Wuji got into the carriage and followed General Cao all the way north, and it took a lot of time to get to the capital, get off the horse and walk, and enter the palace to meet the emperor.
General Cao arrived at the court, knelt down to pay homage to the emperor, and only after shouting long live did he report flatly, Wang Tiejun followed behind, Zou frowned and said: "The practices of these emperors are not flattering, can it be said that long live is long live."
A few women said: "So, mortals are mortals, and they are still mortals when they become emperors, of course they like this kind of high-mindedness."
At this time, the emperor looked at General Cao and said: "Aiqing is going, the soldiers are bloodless, and it is gratifying to take Jinling, the capital of the Li family."
General Cao didn't dare to take credit, and hurriedly saluted: "It's all the emperor's prestige, and the southern kingdom will hear the sound and surrender, Weichen promised them to keep a trace of the Li family's bloodline, without the emperor's permission, and asked the emperor to forgive the sin, they followed the ministers all the way north, and they have arrived in the capital, and ask the emperor to decide."
The emperor's face was immediately difficult to see, but after a while, he seemed to have figured out something, and said with a smile on his face: "I will immediately invite the emperor of the Li family to meet him."
The chief eunuch immediately shouted outside: "Pass the emperor's message, and make noise for the emperor of the Li family to meet him", and after a while, the emperor of the Li family and Sun Wuji came to the court, knelt down and bowed: "The sinners have seen the emperor, please be gracious and leave a trace of blood in my Li family."
The emperor was in a good mood and said, "What is Aiqing's crime? Not only is there no crime, but there is also merit, as long as Aiqing does not plot rebellion privately, we monarchs and ministers can share the peaceful and prosperous world in the future." The emperor of the Li family hurriedly buckled his head to thank him.
The emperor nodded and said: "In the future, there will be no Li family royal family, only my Zhao family marquis, and Li Aiqing will be named the general of the right thousand Niu Wei and the marquis of disobedience."
The emperor looked at Sun Wuji again and said: "I can forgive Li Aiqing, but you are a minister, in order for Li Aiqing not to be coerced into rebellion in the future, so you can't be left behind.
A group of guards with knives rushed in, and as soon as they held down Sun Wuji, they were about to pull out of the court, at this time Wang Tiejun showed his figure, looked at the emperor of the Zhao family and said, "The emperor looks so majestic."
The guards with knives hurriedly raised their knives and pounced, Wang Tiejun waved his hand, and the mana dispersed, wrapping the guards who rushed over, and these guards immediately froze.
Wang Tiejun looked at General Cao and said: "Since you promised to ensure the safety of Lord Sun, now the emperor wants to kill Lord Sun, but you are indifferent, I will take your ten years of longevity and hand it over to Lord Sun as punishment."
After Wang Tiejun finished speaking, he looked at the air and said, "Do you want me to ask you to come out like this?" As soon as the words fell, Niu Tou Ma Mian and the judge appeared in front of him, and Niu Tou said: "Senior brother's Taoism is getting deeper and deeper, we are deliberately invisible, you can find it, it's amazing."
The judge looked at Wang Tiejun and said: "Wang Xianjun, I just brought the book of life and death, I'll help you revise it, and then opened the book of life and death and shouted: "General Cao, reduce the life of Yang for ten years, Sun Wuji and Yang Shou for ten years." After the change, I saw that half of Sun Wuji's original white hair immediately turned black, but General Cao's hair turned a lot whiter, and the wrinkles on his face were much deeper.
Wang Tiejun smiled: "Thank you very much", the judge looked at the emperor made by the dragon, shook his head and said: "Mortal emperor, is it very majestic, Wang Xianjun, do you want to reduce his yang life by twenty years?" As long as you say a word, I will reduce it immediately".
Wang Tiejun glanced at the emperor and said: "Forget it, this emperor is not bad so far, and he has not done anything angry and resentful", and the judge said: "Then forget it."
The bull head and horse looked at the emperor and said: "I see that you have also learned from the Li family in the southern country, and you are ready to fall into ruin, right", Sun Wuji hurriedly said: "Shangxian is not good for me, I have alarmed Shangxian, please look at Wang Xianjun's face, don't embarrass the emperor today, the villain is grateful."
After saying goodbye to everyone, Wang Tiejun said: "Since Lord Sun is interceding, forget it, but I warn you, if anyone dares to embarrass Lord Sun Wuji, don't blame me for being ruthless, you can do it yourself."
After saying that, everyone disappeared, the emperor and the minister looked at each other, not knowing what to do, Sun Wuji saw it and sighed: "Your Majesty, my lords, the grass people have completed the task of escorting the master, please allow the grass people to leave and return to their hometowns", after speaking, he knelt down and bowed to the emperor.
The emperor looked at Sun Wuji, who was kneeling in the court, now he can't kill, he can't let go, he doesn't know how to be good, although he is the emperor of the world, but he is just a mortal, and now this ghost body Wang Xianjun, just because General Cao did not fulfill his promise, he was reduced by ten years of Yangshou, which shows how much Sun Wuji has to do with it, if he is obsessed, he is afraid that the consequences will be very serious.
The emperor thought for a long time and suddenly remembered that the national teacher Huayang Zhenren came, so he had an idea and said: "Aiqing doesn't have to be like this, you go to the post station to rest for a few days first, and it's okay to catch up with your old master."
The emperor then said: "Come on", the guards hurriedly knelt down and said: "Little incompetent, please ask the emperor to surrender", the emperor said: "I don't blame you, you send Li Hou and Lord Sun to the Hou Mansion to rest, and Li Hou's family will live and settle down."
Sun Wuji followed Li Hou out of the court, and the emperor looked at General Cao and said: "Why didn't Aiqing stop me, and Aiqing didn't truthfully report what happened, if I knew that Sun Wuji and Shangxian had a deep relationship, how could I embarrass him."
"Now that you have been reduced by ten years, I will not punish you, you go back and think about the past behind closed doors", General Cao hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Thank you, Emperor, Weichen retires."
The emperor watched General Cao leave, and then said: "There is a national teacher Huayang Zhenren", as soon as the words fell, the voice of Huayang Zhenren came from outside: "Poor Dao is uninvited, please don't blame the emperor."
The emperor hurriedly got up and greeted him: "It's troublesome for the national teacher again", Huayang Zhenren saluted and said: "Your Majesty, now that the world is shocking, the world is returning, why bother about a demote, now that the court is really employing people, it is better to make it Jinling."
The emperor suddenly realized: "Second, in this way, it not only stabilized the southern kingdom, but also sent the favor of the immortals, it turned out that I was confused."
Huayang Zhenren smiled: "Now that the emperor understands, the poor road said goodbye" After speaking, his body flashed and disappeared.
