Chapter 774: Soldiers Invade the Imperial City, Mortal Enemies Brothers
At the end of the second year of Yuanhe, officials of the Ministry of Rites said that they were very busy.
Because the spring is in February of the next year, the previous return was Enke, this time it is officially taken as a scholar, and Wei Yuren, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Wei Yuan, the waiter, have been so busy that they have not returned to the house for several days.
At noon on this day, when I saw a slender and graceful woman carrying a delicate food box again and respectfully presented it to Wei Shilang, the slender finger pointed that the glass bowl lined with grapes purple was more and more green, and those young people who had not yet started a family and found various excuses to stay in the Yamen Wai to chase the beautiful maid once again unabashedly expressed their envy for Shangfeng.
I really hate myself for being blind, what's wrong with the county lord of Pingle, the maids around him are so beautiful, and the county lord of Pingle doesn't mind at all, the maids who are sent to deliver meals every day are all seductive.
Wei Shilang is really glamorous.
Wei Shangshu on the side didn't pay attention to the appearance of the maidservant, he cared about Wei Yuan's food, looked at the dishes of other people's dishes, and then looked at the "big hodgepodge" sent by his mother-in-law, Wei Shangshu sighed.
His wife has been temperamental over the years, the main reason is that her daughter Wei Zhao entered the palace as a female official, Mrs. Wei deeply complained that Wei Shangshu was too accustomed to indulgence, so that Wei Zhao was "lawless", a well-known lady, and as a result, she became a messenger of the heavenly family.
Therefore, Wei Shangshu's food has always been only a "hodgepodge" sent by his mother-in-law, although the salt taste is good, but it can be compared with Wei Yuan's exquisiteness, which is simply ...... Be elegant, don't say it's pig food, that's self-insult! But it's also a difference between cloud and mud.
A sorrowful Shangguan and a satisfied subordinate were less than halfway through the meal, when they heard the sound of "boom", the iron hooves exploded, and when they looked up again, they were shocked to see two cannons being pushed through the thousand-step corridor.
Sure enough, it came.
Wei Shangshu and Wei Shilang put down their chopsticks in unison, flirted with their robes, and in the other dumbfounded stare of the young people who had just switched from the beautiful maid, they once again invariably asserted: "It's not good, guilty of rebelling against the palace!" ”
The door of peace has long been closed, but there are hundreds of palace guards holding firearms in line from low to high, blocking the front of the door, and rushing straight to the offender.
Many courtiers on both sides of the thousand-step corridor heard the news, and most of them were panicked.
But when Huang Tao approached, many looked at each other, revealing a look of enlightenment, and unconsciously, took a few steps back.
"By Holy Order!" Huang Tao rode up, stopped behind the artillery, raised a royal decree with one arm, and looked around, full of spirit.
In fact, his hope for this day is like a broken eye.
Originally, he thought that he would be able to show his ambition by "having merit from the dragon", but he didn't know that he still had to be subject to the defense of the country, and even the Son of Heaven could not make his own decisions.
After years of planning and painstaking management, the income is only slightly better than that of Huang Erye of Jianning Houfu back then.
This is by no means the end of his.
Therefore, although he understands that the situation in front of him is like a line between life and death, he must also fight.
If you can succeed, you can be among the power, and half a lifetime of forbearance will not be wasted.
This access control, breakthrough is a bright future, bright and open.
From now on, no one can be underestimated in order to be humiliated by blood.
Jianning Houfu will really be trampled under his feet, and the descendants of the Zhao family will all be subservient to him.
"By the order of the Son of Heaven, enter the palace to hunt down the assassins, you are the personal guards of the Son of Heaven, if you do not obey the order, you will be guilty of great rebellion!" The sound of Huang Tao is like a bell, the reins, Zhu Ju hissed and raised his front hooves high, majestic.
But I heard a cold sneer-
"Huang Tao, look at what kind of place this is, this is the main gate of the imperial city, you dare to bully the soldiers and offend, you are really a chaotic minister and thief!"
In the afternoon, the golden sun was in full bloom, and a ride slowly came out, and the red clothes and black armor and purple were flying.
The road is narrow, and it turns out to be Jianninghou.
Huang Tao's eyes cracked, he roared angrily, the cold sword came out of the sheath with a "bang", and Han Feng pointed at the opponent.
"Jian Ninghou, if this official has the right memory, he is just free, and he dares to stop the holy order from spewing blood!"
Jian Ninghou laughed, and took two steps forward: "Ben Hou was just ordered today, and it was you who was dealing with you, a great rebel!" ”
"Joke, this official obeys the holy order, how can you be allowed to talk about it." Huang Tao's eyes were blood-red, and he was angry, obviously temporarily abandoned the key task by such an unexpected provocation by Jian Ninghou.
Although the two can shout at each other, there is still a distance between them, and they can't cut it with a knife, so they can't order to bomb Jianning Hou directly with a cannon, it is inevitable that there is a suspicion of personal revenge, and it is too child's play.
What Huang Tao didn't know was that he was meeting Jianning Hou on the narrow road, and while inexplicably entangled in personal grievances, he ordered his henchmen to lead 8,000 elites to attack the battlefield of Xi'an Gate, and was being attacked head-on by 5,000 palace guards led by Su Xun - what's even worse is that the gate general of Xicheng, who was obviously bribed, actually turned against him and let 5,000 people from the outer city Jingying enter, forming a momentum of internal and external attack, but in two moments, the victory and defeat have been divided.
Su Xun took the lead, although it was the first official battle, but he was unstoppable, and he had already killed the red eye, Huang Tao's henchman was broken by Su Xun's sword, and while rolling in the dust, he really wanted to ask - Damn, are you sure you are a Zhongshushe?!
On top of the white horse, Zhu was wearing black armor, Su Xun looked down at his opponent with extreme contempt, and raised the corners of his lips politely: "Carry it away, let the imperial doctor be dedicated to it, treat him well, and at least live through today." Then he raised his sword in a murderous manner and rushed towards another target who was dressed like a hundred households.
And Bei'anmen, the commander of Beicheng, who was going to pick up the leaks, came to attack with high morale, but he met the eldest princess who stepped on the golden saddle head-on, and his soul flew away.
The way he went out today was not right, why did he meet such a evil god?
The commander of Beicheng has gone to see the father of Hades, who was once a captive general of the Feifeng Tribe, and was surrendered by the eldest princess.
This person has heard a lot of glorious deeds of the eldest princess, but he has not experienced it himself, thinking that his father has hung up, and this time it is a rare opportunity for promotion, so he wants to fight for glory and wealth, but he knows that he will meet his father's old opponent?
In the end, the heart is still empty.
But if you bite your teeth, the eldest princess is a woman, and now she is old, so she may not be able to fight.
However, before the charge order was shouted, he was pierced through the throat by the eldest princess!
When he fell to the ground, the last thought of the Beicheng commander - not listening to his father, suffering a loss in front of him.
More than 1,000 rebels bravely surrendered without shouting a word of the main general, and the army was in turmoil and fled in all directions.
The eldest princess didn't care, and waved her arm to let the palace guards chase after her, but she didn't feel that she was having fun, and she pulled the reins of the horse and led hundreds of people to make a detour to reinforce Dong'anmen.
In fact, this time he led the palace guards to fight, and it was the eldest princess who finally begged from the queen mother, but she hadn't played her strengths for too long, and her hands were itching.
You can imagine the tragic situation of Dong'anmen.
And at this time, in front of the safe gate, the scolding between Jianninghou and Huang Tao is still in full swing, and there are many helpers on both sides to join, Huang Tao is naturally behind the Qin clan, Jianninghou is also a large number of people, and the performance is particularly heroic, those officials who are usually polite and polite, now they are actually turned into fighters, with their sleeves rolled, and they are blocked in front of the muzzle of the artillery with a straight face, as if they are not flesh and blood, but a copper wall.
Huang Tao was so angry that smoke rose above his head - do you have common sense? I really thought this artillery was not an ornament!
There was actually a Wenchen who moved his hand, pulled his hair and pulled his clothes, and looked stunned by the warriors holding the firearms.
Jian Ninghou always remembered that his task was not to fight to the death with Huang Tao, but to delay time, and force himself to press the urge to immediately pull out his sword and slash each other, and save all his energy to put it into his lips and tongue. Would the Son of Heaven let someone like you lead troops to force the palace to murder your own grandmother? If it's not the Son of Heaven's demonic obstacle, it's your big rebellion!
Later, he really couldn't find any other infamy, and Jian Ninghou resolutely exposed Huang Tao's crime of poisoning his biological mother Aunt Liao in public, which made lunch go a little farther, and the courtiers who came to see what was a little late were full of confusion - along the way, I first heard that it was the Northern Plains criminal...... Of course it can't be, I heard that it was the assassination of the Son of Heaven, the assassin escaped into the imperial city, Huang Tongzhi led troops to search for it but was refused, how can I look at it now, it was these two brothers who started a lawsuit in front of the old case in front of the peace gate? was guilty of closing the city and raising troops, and even the red-clothed cannons were transferred out!
However, the civil official Su Xi was entangled in these side details, and most of the Qin clan's henchmen were officials, and they were suddenly taken away by Jianning Hou, and the focus of the dispute suddenly became obsessed with Huang Tao's killing of his mother and Jianning Hou's framing.
If the Son of Heaven was present, I don't know what it would be, but at this time, King Xian, who was standing on the city tower and watching the battle, admired his son very much - sure enough, as soon as Jianning waited to get out of the horse, Huang Tao immediately fell into the pit, and a scolding battle dragged on, and the outside of Xi'an Gate should have been cleared, right?
But he didn't forget to instruct a group of Hanlin led by An Saburo behind him: "Hurry up and record, now the camp is clear, and the Qin family's henchmen are not omitted." ”
Huang Tao is not a stupid person, but he is too obsessed with personal vendettas, Jian Ninghou appeared mercilessly to expose his past scars, in a short period of time, Huang Tao really put the business aside, for a while, the soldiers and horses were facing each other, the arrows were tense, and the generals of the two armies ignored the war and endlessly moved their lips and tongues, not to mention that there were high-spirited soldiers who were brave and unloaded, and even the war horses couldn't help but be impatient to gouge their hooves - in the end, is this fight or not?
One after another, the horse neighed, and finally reminded Huang Tao what is the key, the bloody eyes glared at Jian Ninghou fiercely, and the tip of the sword resolutely pointed to the main matter of the official department who was standing tall in front of the artillery, and broke off: "The official said it again, the Son of Heaven was attacked by assassins in Tangquan Palace, and the official was specially ordered to arrest the murderer, according to the investigation, the evil rebel escaped into the imperial city, and the official was ordered by the Holy Emperor to lead the Jingwei into the imperial city to search and arrest, if you stop it again, it will be regarded as an accomplice, and there will be no forgiveness for killing!" ”
"It's nonsense, what a big deal the assassination of the Son of Heaven is, it should be arrested by Dali Temple and the Second Law Division of the Criminal Department, not to mention that Er, as a Jingwei Tongzhi, actually led a team to force the palace, obviously with ill intentions! At present, the Empress Dowager is in charge of the government and orders the palace guards to guard the city gate, how can you allow this crime to be a backlash, Huang Tao, if you dare to kill the court officials indiscriminately, and violate the decree of Ci'an Palace, it will be a great rebellion! Jianning waited to see Huang Tao "woke up", that is, he fought according to reason.
"It's clearly Huang Tao's crime of falsely claiming that the king's order is not subordinate!" Under the guidance of Wei Yuren and others, the "Ci'an Party" still did not retreat.
Huang Tao's eyes swelled with anger, and he raised his sword to split.
But suddenly an arrow broke through the air from the city wall, in the middle of the yellow pottery shoulder armor, but also thanks to the iron helmet and bronze armor he was wearing today, so he was not pierced by the sharp arrow through the shoulder bone, Rao is so, but he was shocked off the horse by the force of the sudden arrow, and he fell so badly.
King Xian's arrow also immediately walked down the city, and someone opened one side of the palace gate and led the crowd out.
The bottom rebelled bravely to see that the master was about to fall off the horse, causing a panic, and the two relatives helped Huang Tao up, and they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that they were not injured.
But in the blink of an eye, King Xian had already ridden forward, and with an order, the fire gun of the Shenji Battalion was immediately raised, aiming at the reverse bravery.
There are also Yulinwei, Huben Army and other palace guards in Beijing who draw bows and crossbows, and for a time they face each other, and the battle of life and death is about to break out.
King Xian raised the yellow scroll in his hand: "According to the decree of the Empress Dowager, strictly guard the imperial city, do not let Xiao Xiao invade an inch, Huang Tao, if you really follow the holy order, you can enter the palace with the king and return to the palace, if there are assassins in the imperial city, they should be arrested by the palace guards, if they insist on going their own way, it will be a reverse trip." ”
Huang Tao fell to the ground, and it was easy to regain his footing, his face was red and white for a while, but he was not convinced at this time: "The official is against the top? It is obvious that the king has the heart of disobedience, and the official is the edict of the superior, and you are the sin! A killing order was shouted.
I don't know that the henchmen on both sides commanded but did not follow the order.
These two have obviously been rebelled.
"I also know that King Xian is in the hands of the Empress Dowager, and the current situation is ...... The lower officials thought that Tongzhi should still be ordered, and explained clearly to the Empress Dowager that if the Son of Heaven was assassinated, the Empress Dowager would inevitably order an investigation. ”
Huang Tao was dumbfounded, of course he knew that he was betrayed by two henchmen, but fortunately, the people he led were still loyal to him, he sneered, and waved his arm again.
The rebellious firecrackers were divided into two columns, and there was a row of female dependents escorted by Jingwei, most of whom lost their faces, and fell to the ground when they were gently pushed.
Huang Tao raised his voice and shouted: "The commanders of the palace guards can see clearly, if you don't obey the king's order, you and other family members will be the first to fall to the ground." ”
With these people in the front, as long as King Xian ordered to open fire, how could the palace guards behind see their family members die on the spot, and they had to mutiny.
