Chapter 147: Quelling the Turmoil
"Please give this sword to your concubines, and your concubines are willing to be Your Majesty's last line of defense."
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Liang's heart trembled, and in addition to being moved, the pride of the past suddenly surged up, grabbed Concubine Jing's hand holding the sword, and said loudly: "I am here, who dares to hurt you?" ”
Before the sound fell, a stream of arrows seemed to be trying to break the momentum of his words, and broke through the window, and swooped and nailed to the pillars, far from it, but enough to stir up panic in the temple, and some people began to sobble in the darkness.
By this time, the East had already seen white, but the situation was deteriorating dramatically. There were other clans and ministers who kept crowding into the dormitory, reporting to Emperor Liang in embarrassment, and the door of the hall was lost again, so the door of the palace was opened and closed, and every time it was opened, everyone's emotions were pushed one step further in the direction of collapse.
"Rebels and thieves...... The rebellious ministers and thieves ......, "Emperor Liang's gray head was scattered, and a few strands were soaked in cold sweat on his cheeks, and he still sat up straight, unwilling to lose his momentum, but between his sore teeth, he still unconsciously squeezed out and cursed.
The Buddha's tooth kept arching his back and erecting his hair, and he repeatedly wanted to pounce outward, Mei Changsu was now weak, and he didn't hold it, and he broke open and went straight to the temple door, who knew that at this moment, the temple door was slammed open again, and a cold wind blew in, blowing in and making everyone's hearts beat.
This time, what appeared in front of everyone was a handsome and cold young man, Zhou's body was cold, but he was wearing powder blue clothes, tied with a beautiful powder and blue belt, holding a light short sword in his hand, the blade was like water, and there was no blood mark. Although his action of slamming the door was reckless and rude, his own actions were ghostly, and he kept a straight face as soon as he entered. Rigidity said coldly: "It's coming!" ”
In a stiff gaze, Mei Changsu asked softly, "Is Feiliu rushing back from His Royal Highness King Jing?" ”
"Hmm!" Feiliu replied heavily. I felt that I had completed the task of reporting the news, crouched down and began to play with the tail of the Buddha's tooth.
But no one cared about his rude behavior. The hall was full of long sighs of relief, and Emperor Liang was overjoyed, put his arm around Concubine Jing's shoulders and kept saying, "Good boy...... Good boy ......"
About half an hour later, the sound of killing outside had subsided, and the morning light had already illuminated the room. As Concubine Jing gently blew out the flickering candle flame. A bloody and horrific night has finally passed.
Outside the dormitory, there was the sound of neat and steady footsteps, as if they were rearming. Immediately after that, King Jing's voice sounded clearly: "The retainers have been ordered to quell the rebellion, please see Your Majesty!" ”
"Hurry up and open the door," Emperor Liang hurriedly called Gao Zhan, "let Jing Yan come in." ”
Before Gao Zhan could move, closer to the palace gate, several ministers had already rushed over and opened the door. King Jing strode forward, although full of energy. But it was still a messy sideburn, dusty, and a blue robe splattered with blood. His sword had been carefully unwound before entering the temple. The first action after taking off his clothes and bowing down was to hand over the talisman in his hand: "The Jicheng army has been ordered to come to escort it." Read the literary network all the way and return the military talisman! ”
"Good, good." Emperor Liang personally walked down and held him in one hand, holding the talisman. Stroking his head with one hand, he said in a trembling voice: "You have worked hard, are you hurt?" ”
"A slight injury doesn't get in the way."
"Before returning to Beijing, the Jicheng Army is still deployed by you at will. The rebels who are in rebellion this time must go all out to hunt down and never tolerate it! ”
"Son's command."
"Come, come, come on, sit down and rest for a while, these days must be on the road day and night, right?" Emperor Liang took King Jing's hand, took him to his side, sat down, and said to Concubine Jing, "Hurry up and get some food for your son, he must be hungry." ”
"The son's escort was late, which frightened my father, queen and mother." Xiao Jingyan hugged his fists and said, "There are still a lot of aftermath things out there. Last night, not everyone fled into the dormitory, the clan and the ministers died, the forbidden army fought hard for nearly five days, and the injuries were extremely heavy, and the ministers had to help the commander of Meng to take care of it. After everything is arranged, I will come to my father and mother to say goodbye. ”
"Yes," Emperor Liang couldn't help but be gloomy when he heard this, "The people who were killed this time, as well as these loyal soldiers, I will be compassionate to me. Now that the aftermath has not subsided, I will not delay you, and it is up to you to decide how to cook. ”
King Jing got up and bowed again, and quickly retreated. Concubine Jing then dismissed the rest of the hall and told them to go back to their own affairs. Mei Changsu also took the opportunity to leave the dormitory, who knew that he had just walked to the courtyard of the outer hall, and happened to bump into King Jing and Meng Zhi standing there, and hurriedly looked back, fortunately, Feiliu had forcibly dragged the Buddha's tooth away, and disappeared to play somewhere.
"It's inconvenient to say hello to my father just now," King Jing looked Mei Changsu up and down, "Sir, are you okay?" ”
"How can it be bad that I've been away from the front line?" Mei Changsu looked around, only to see the blood stains under the front porch, and couldn't help but sigh: "The forbidden army is only afraid of most of the damage, right?" ”
Meng Zhi said gloomily: "Only more than 700 people survived, of which 200 were seriously injured, and almost none of them were intact. ”
"Even the Great Commander has been injured, this time it is really dangerous," Mei Changsu's eyes flashed with a cold glint, "But ...... This is definitely the last struggle of King Yu. ”
At this time, 6 people came to report the aftermath, and the three stopped talking. King Jing used the military talisman to mobilize a total of 50,000 Jicheng troops and 30,000 to arrive in advance, and the remaining 20,000 carried all the necessary materials and materials, and then should still be in the middle of the way. After the rebellion was put down, all the corpses on the battlefield were moved to the foot of the mountain, and they were wrapped and parked one by one to make a record, while the enemy only counted the number of people and buried them uniformly. The captured soldiers were confined in a large tent, and the generals were held separately awaiting trial. A special area was set aside outside the Hunting Palace, and the wounded Ji Cheng Army temporarily replaced the responsibility of the forbidden army, and 3,000 people were allocated to guard the Hunting Palace, and the rest of the troops also retreated to the foot of the mountain to camp and wait.
According to Emperor Liang's will, the search for the fleeing rebels began throughout the vicinity of Jiu'an Mountain, and at the same time announced that a reward would be given to King Qin's escort. Ji Chengjun got this opportunity to save the driver and show his face, and the morale of the upper and lower levels was high, combing through the various mountains like a sieve, striving to make more meritorious contributions.
After the big things were arranged, Meng Zhi didn't have time to change his clothes. followed King Jing into the dormitory again to return to Emperor Liang. The old emperor's mood has calmed down now, and the flashing in his eyes is no longer surprise and relief, but ruthless.
"Jing Yan. Mengqing's imperial capital. What do you think should be done? ”
King Jing glanced at Meng Zhi and motioned for him to speak first. The commander of the forbidden army couldn't hold it back, and immediately hugged his fists and said: "The emperor has seven thousand ministers left behind in the forbidden army, and he doesn't believe that they will betray His Majesty, and they are definitely controlled." As long as the minister himself goes. I will definitely be able to bring people back for His Majesty! ”
"I think so, too." Emperor Liang's face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "Meng Qing, you rest for one night, tomorrow with 10,000 soldiers and horses, set off for the first place in the imperial capital, detain King Yu and other places, and the second in the same party." Collect the queen's ribbon seal and move the palace to be claustrophobic and dispose of it after I return to Luan. Remember. The situation in the imperial capital must be stable. After the overall situation has calmed down. Give me back now. I'll wait for your news before I get back to Beijing. ”
"Commandment." Meng Zhi got up and was about to walk out. Emperor Liang stopped him again: "What are you anxious about?" This time, you are not giving an edict, nor is it a secret decree, I want to give you an edict! ”
"Ming Zhao?" Meng Zhi was slightly surprised, "But the Ming Zhao has no room for change again and again......"
"What else have I changed?!" Emperor Liang slapped the dragon case suddenly, and his eyes shot out of anger: "If you really follow someone's will this time, you will be in Jiu'an Mountain, then there will be no room for it!" The commander is already drawing up the decree, and when I use the seal, even if you let go of those rebellious ministers and thieves, do you want me to defend them again? ”
Meng Zhi immediately said loudly: "Minister's order!" ”
At this time, the commander bowed in with the prepared new decree, and Emperor Liang glanced at it, personally supported the seal, sealed it, and handed it to Meng Zhi, saying: "Where the will is not fulfilled, I allow you to act cheaply." ”
"The minister will live up to His Majesty's trust!"
"Okay, stand down." Emperor Liang sighed, beckoned, called King Jing to his side, and said, "Jing Yan, you have made a great contribution to saving the driver this time, what reward do you want?" ”
Xiao Jingyan sneered slightly: "The chaos has not yet subsided, and the holy car has not yet returned to Luan, at this time, even if the father has the heart to reward his sons, he will not dare to accept it." If there is a stock of gold silk in the hunting palace, you might as well take it out first and reward the soldiers. ”
Emperor Liang looked up to the sky and laughed: "You are true to your mother, she said the same thing. Okay, you send someone to divide and make a book, first reward a batch, return to the imperial capital, and then reward another one. ”
"The retainers obey." As soon as King Jing finished the salute, Concubine Jing brought a few maids with dinner plates in their hands from the side hall to come in and invite the father and son to come over for dinner. This meal was very peaceful, and Emperor Liang frequently gave King Jing vegetables, which seemed to be indescribable joy and love for him.
After dinner, Emperor Liang rested under the service of Concubine Jing, and King Jing naturally withdrew. He was the prince and the prince of Qizhu, and he was assigned an independent courtyard in the hunting palace for him and the people of King Jing's Mansion to live in. This time, those who followed Xiao Jingyan to Jiu'an Mountain were all fierce generals and brave soldiers who were born and died on the battlefield, so although the five days of fierce fighting were not badly damaged, only two people were killed, three were seriously injured, and the rest of the people were in good condition, Qi Meng was especially alive, and after only resting for a while, he took people up the mountain to participate in the search for rebels. Lie Zhanying suffered a knife wound on his arm, hung with a bandage, and still insisted on waiting for King Jing outside the courtyard gate, but after King Jing returned, he only glanced at him and kicked him back into the house to recuperate.
Mei Changsu, as King Jing's entourage, also lived in the same courtyard. In order to show his respect for him, King Jing also arranged a separate room for him and Feiliu. At this time, it was already dark, but there was no light in his room, King Jing stood in the courtyard, stared at the black window, hesitated for a long time, and then stepped forward and knocked on the door.
The door soon opened, and Swift floated out, "Sleep!" ”
"Sleeping so early? Is the gentleman uncomfortable? ”
"Tired!" The boy shouted.
"Oh." King Jing nodded, turned around and walked down the steps slowly, but he didn't want to go back to his main house immediately, so he walked to the courtyard and stood still, letting Meng Chun's wind blow his somewhat hot face.
He actually didn't know what he wanted to say to Mei Changsu, but he was just inexplicably troubled in his heart. Since his mother has had her own secrets for more than ten years, his loneliness has become deeper and deeper. At this time, standing in his own courtyard, surrounded by his henchmen, but looking around at him blankly, he found that he could not find anyone to talk to.
The higher she goes, the more lonely she becomes, and Xiao Jingyan is not unprepared for this. It's just that when he is physically and mentally exhausted from running around all night, he still can't help but feel heavy and lonely, and he can't help but close his eyes and imagine that he has returned to the past.
Those days of happiness, warmth, with brothers and friends, those days that seemed perfect because of loss......
But after all, the hypothetical is just an imaginary that the snow in Meiling is the fire in his heart, no matter how hard and tired he is, this fire will never be extinguished.
The victory is in sight, and the final step must not be mistaken. Xiao Jingyan pursed her lips, and her reopened eyes twinkled like stars in the night. The dead are looking at him from heaven, not wanting to see him here, indulging in memories, indulging in vulnerability.
"Someone!"
"In!"
"Tighten the guard at night, once you catch Xu Anmo who escapes, come to report me immediately!"
"Yes!"
After giving this order, Xiao Jingyan took a deep breath, shook off the troubled emotions that stuck to his heart like spider silk, and walked into his room firmly.
