Chapter 149: The Return of the King (3)
The Feiliu City guard was shocked and shouted: "You are violating military orders and rebelling, wake up quickly, and follow me ......"
Before he could finish his last sentence, a dark shadow flashed past him in the crowd, and no one could see who it was, but he saw that the guard had fallen, not dead, but fainted. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Without this person to stabilize the morale of the army, coupled with the secret instigation of "traitors", half of the defenders of Feiliu City of Shu Weiguo, at least the soldiers on the garrison port and city wall at this time, all have the heart to support Zheng Tai's return to Shu Weiguo!
Seeing this, Fan You was very happy, so he said to Zheng Tai: "Young marshal, it seems that Commander Shen's side is finished!"
Zheng Tai also felt excited, waved his hand, and ordered: "Raise the anchor, continue to advance along the river, and go straight to the imperial capital of Shuwei!"
He gave the order, and the three giant ships were once again, although the ships did not carry many soldiers and horses, but the ships were wide and large, and they were full of majesty when they sailed, which was enough to be amazing!
At this time, in the Imperial City of Shu Weiguo - the Imperial Palace of Zhiyun City, the first letter sent from Feiliu City has been submitted to the dragon case of Zheng Xianfeng, the current emperor of Shu Weiguo!
It was ten minutes of the early dynasty, and the palace was divided between the martial arts, and as the emperor, he had just listened to the report of the person who sent the letter, and there was a second urgent delivery.
"Feiliu City lost?" Zheng Xianfeng looked at the five big characters on the cover page of the letter, his eyes quickly swept on the paper, and then his eyes widened, and he slapped the letter on the dragon case, and roared angrily: "Who can tell me that Feiliu City, as the 'first pass on the river', is guarded by 50,000 elite soldiers, and there are 50,000 long reserve troops stationed, a total of 100,000 troops, and in a moment, the enemy was rebelled and taken down under the enemy's words! Why is this?"
The Chinese military officials of the palace naturally knew the news that Zheng Tai had crossed the river, and at this time Zheng Xianfeng was furious, and he could see that there were many mysteries in the court of this Shu Wei Dynasty, at least not the unity of the monarchs and subjects, anxiety, cunning, joy, sighs, all kinds of reactions appeared on the faces of the courtiers!
Among the crowd, there are three people whose expressions are the most representative!
One is naturally the old master of the original "new school", and he is also the prime minister of the dynasty Wu Wenxu; the other is not very active in the court, but there is a heartfelt head of the Bai family, and he is also a general who enjoys the position of the commander of the whole army of the hereditary Shu Patriotic State, Bai Tong; the other is an old minister who has long been neglected, but relies on his fame and identity to stand tenaciously in this court, Sima Kong!
Right now, Zheng Xianfeng is angry, Wu Wenxu is treacherous, but Bai Tong is a little sad, but Sima Kong is happy. It's just that Zheng Xianfeng didn't have the energy to watch the reactions of the ministers, and his mind was full of anxiety about how to deal with it!
"Your Majesty, I don't know how many people and horses the Yun Kingdom has brought here?" Wu Wenxu stood up first and asked the key.
"Although there are three giant ships that are no less than the 'Five-Claw Great Ship' of our Shu Patriotic Kingdom, they do not have too much armor, and the total number is only five hundred!" Zheng Xian said.
Wu Wenxu said with a smile: "With five hundred people and one mouth, can you win the first pass on the river that my Shu Weiguo is known as unbreakable for a hundred years?" As he spoke, he glanced at the ministers in the palace, and finally his eyes fell on Bai Tong's body. He immediately smiled coldly and continued: "Shenwu has been in the world for thousands of years, have you ever heard of such a strange thing? Although there are many treacherous people in the Yun Kingdom who are demagogic and plot against our army, but after all, 'a slap can't make a sound', if no one on our side responds, who has the courage to disobey the military order with those soldiers alone?"
This sentence is like an initiation, but it woke up Zheng Xianfeng!
Seeing this, Wu Wenxu continued: "This person must have a certain status in the DPRK and have even more prestige in the army! Otherwise, how can we convince many border guards with just a few words from weak scholars like us?"
Zheng Xianfeng rolled his eyes, and then patted the dragon case, and then his eyes were directly aimed at Bai Tong, and he asked: "Bai Tong, the widow asked you, but you discussed the plan with the secret envoy of Yun State, and you, as an internal response, are you plotting against in our country?"
Bai Tong was born to salute, although there was sadness on his face, but he was not in a hurry, he said leisurely: "Your Majesty governs the country by law, and you must not believe such rumors. If I really have the heart to rebel and go against the ancestral teachings of my Bai family, I will become a fool now. Please think about it carefully, if I come to make an internal response, how can I only let Feiliu City surrender to Cheng? At this time, shouldn't I personally lead the army directly to the imperial city? Moreover, the rumors are all directed at my Bai family, if I have no loyalty and sincerity to the Shu Weiguo, I should lead the generals to surrender to his Yun Kingdom, how can I stay in the court, wouldn't I give everyone a mouth and leave a joke in vain?"
Although Zheng Xianfeng is suspicious, he is not a mediocre person, and after listening to Bai Tong's words, he also feels that there is some truth.
He looked at the Qiankun Sword that was being placed on the side of the palace hall at this time, and secretly thought in his heart: "If Bai Tong has the intention to oppose me, why should he offer the Qiankun artifact to be sincere? He should take it himself and lead the army to force the palace!"
After thinking about it, he calmed down a little, but he no longer mentioned the matter of Bai Tong, but said: "Right now, Zheng Tai, a fugitive from the Shu Patriotic Kingdom, has passed the Feiliu Pass and is coming straight to our imperial capital! Although he did not bring many soldiers and armor, it can be seen from the plot against the soldiers of Feiliu City that his ambition must be to seize the imperial power! It's just that he 'salutes first and then soldiers', but he did not offend the fact of raising troops, plus his relationship with Shu Weiguo and me, if he is forcibly killed, I am afraid that my Shu Weiguo will be left behind! I also ask you to think hard about a good solution!"
Wu Wenxu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, why should you worry about a criminal who has escaped? According to the minister's opinion, although he did not bring any armor here, and it is not considered to raise troops to attack, but in fact, he has not sent anyone to inform the people in our country. Moreover, although there are all kinds of rumors about him and His Majesty in the rivers and lakes, but the rumors are rumors after all, and Your Majesty is always Your Majesty, and now the imperial power falls on the shoulders of Your Majesty, Your Majesty has long been the orthodox king of Shu Weiguo, even if he also has the royal blood of Shu Weiguo, but he has never been rewarded, and he is just a civilian, even if he talks about the first emperor of Shu Weiguo, there is no actual evidence, empty words, who can be convinced? And Your Majesty is different, Your Majesty has governed Shu Weiguo for more than ten years, the domestic wind and rain are smooth, the people are all grateful for Your Majesty's kindness, and there is the will of the people, why are you afraid of a little baby who is not yet an adult? Even if you take 10,000 steps back and say that Your Majesty kills it, maybe there are people who remember the grace of the former emperor will have a grudge, and maybe there will be turmoil in people's hearts, but Shu Weiguo is still under Your Majesty's governance, and he has already gone to Jiuquan, with the passage of time, this person's heart will always be indifferent, how can the people be resentful again? At that time, we must be grateful to Your Majesty's sage!"
Zheng Xianfeng nodded and said: "What the prime minister said is extremely true! Someone came, ordered General Bai Tong to lead the imperial city guards, secretly deploy soldiers and horses under the city, ambush strong crossbowmen in the city, and listen to my orders!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone came to report, but he shouted: "Your Majesty, there is news from the front, the young marshal of Yunguo has passed the second pass on the river under the control of the Bai family, and at this time he is already looking at my imperial capital!"
Zheng Xianfeng was shocked when he heard this, but he only glanced at Bai Tong, and did not say anything to plead for the crime, but said: "Take me and hang me, I will personally go to the city to meet that little baby for a while!"
After that, he took the dragon crown on his head, took the sword of Qiankun in the palace, and walked out of the palace hall...... (To be continued.) )
