668 Siege (1st Update)
The echo sounded, like a drop of water into a pan of oil.
Lin Yuan looked from behind him, recognized the person, and directly pierced the other party's mind at the moment, "Master Li." Half a year ago, you spent money on your relationship and gave Ling Lang an errand in the Imperial Forest Army...... Is Ling Lang okay now? ”
Master Li was silent, met the emperor's stabbing eyes in an instant, and stammered when he spoke, "Good, good, very good......"
Lin Yuan turned around again, "Lord Wang." A while ago, I saw Ling Lang yelling at the largest gambling house in the imperial capital, and it seems that the Imperial Forest Army has a lot of money. ”
The other party's face turned pale, and he lowered his head quietly like a speechless quail.
Lin Yuan swept past the faces of the most noisy officials one by one, and the echo disappeared in an instant.
"The Imperial Forest Army is Dacheng's last line of defense. It should be His Majesty's most loyal and fearless soldier, the sharpest spear, and the strongest shield. Lin Yuan turned to look at the courtiers, his eyes were warm and sharp, and the words were sonorous and powerful, "What about now?" This spear rusts without piercing, and the shield cracks without attacking, and the Royal Forest Army has become the most comfortable hotbed for the children of the official family! ”
The ministers bowed their heads and did not dare to look at each other.
Dacheng has been peaceful for several years, and the life of the garrisons everywhere has been much better, not to mention the errand of the Imperial Forest Army, which can see His Majesty every day when he is lucky enough to eat the imperial food, he naturally has to enter after breaking his scalp - what a good opportunity to soar to the sky!
The emperor actually knew about this.
But it's one thing to know everything, and it's another thing to sit on the table at such a sensitive time. What's more, the emperor's expression was ugly, "Heh." One by one, the righteousness is awe-inspiring, saying that once the war is over, what should the old and weak women and children in the city do, heh...... Now it seems that I am worried about the people in the city, or I am worried about your precious golden son! ”
All the ministers fell to their knees together, and the few who were named trembled even more, "Weichen, Weichen...... Your Majesty forgives your sins! ”
Naturally, it is impossible for the emperor to punish these old courtiers at this juncture, let alone ...... The law does not hold the public accountable. But it was true that he lost face because of this, he snorted coldly, and he didn't look at these courtiers, but only looked at Lin Yuan, "Mr. Lin, these 50,000 imperial forest soldiers...... It will be handed over to Mr. Lin in a few days, but by drive. If anyone dares to disobey...... Kill it! ”
Lin Yuan arched his hand and said loudly, "Yes!" ”
There is a faint murderous surge, a sense of urgency that is about to erupt.
The emperor standing on the high steps stood with his hands behind his back, his expression was calm and solemn, with a ruthless decision of life and death. He didn't look at anyone, only at the sunny sky outside the palace gate.
How do you describe it...... The mood of the moment.
Every emperor has had a premonition of father-son enmity since birth, at first, it was the secret expectation when he was a son, and later, it was the jealousy of his son as a victorious father.
The onlookers of the capital are clear, but perhaps only the authorities can deeply understand how much temptation this nine-clawed golden dragon seat has given them. It was the instinctive desire and madness in their veins.
Although he is angry, he can understand it. But because of this understanding, a sense of powerless fate suddenly derived. The Emperor sighed and waved his hand, "Stand down." ”
The ministers knelt down and got up one after another to leave. Lin Yuan also arched his hand and turned to leave.
In the huge golden and splendid temple, the sun does not shine, and a clear light and shadow on the steps outside the door divides the inside and outside into two worlds.
The Emperor slowly sat back on the dragon chair, and for the first time in his life, he felt that this chair was cold and hard, and it was really uncomfortable to sit on. He sighed and said, "I suddenly feel tired......
Father-in-law Chang was startled and took two steps forward, "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much, His Royal Highness King Rui will definitely come back with rescue troops, not to mention Mr. Lin, how many soldiers he has led with Lord Gu and how many people have won battles, the art of war is strategic...... He is the one who cannot be compared. Your Majesty will be able to save the day. ”
The emperor looked tired and did not speak, leaning against the back of his chair with his eyes closed, as if asleep.
In this life, beware of this and that, this is like a point of no return, only to find that there is no one around you who can be trusted, it seems that ...... and no one believed in him. This feeling of burnout is exhausting...... I can't afford to fight at all.
Just thinking about it, if it's this time...... If you really lose this time, you will lose, and sooner or later there will be a day. Fortunately...... The man has left, and the Shi family can always protect her, even if she can't, she is always more willing to stay by her side than to stay by her side.
……
Early the next morning, the soldiers approached the city, and 70,000 soldiers of Wuji Mountain lined up outside the imperial capital under the slogan of the Qing monarch's side.
In the entire Dacheng Imperial Capital, for the first time in these years, the city gate was closed, and every household was almost closed. Even so, the people did not see the color of panic, but the soldiers outside the city shouted and insulted all day long with big flags, and no matter how the other party insulted, the closed city gate was still closed, the drawbridge was not lowered, and no one came out to meet the enemy.
In this regard, Gu Yanyao became more and more convinced that there was no defense in the city, at least, the defense in the city was not enough to resist the 70,000 Wuji soldiers, and the emperor's move was just waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
As for the reinforcements...... The nearest to this place is about the garrison on the Black Soil Plain, and if you count the footsteps, there will be seven or eight days to go. Seven or eight days...... Heh, just such an imperial capital that already needs to sing the empty city plan, wait for it?
Gu Yanyao instructed the accompanying generals, "Take a short rest tonight, and tomorrow, start attacking the city!" ”
Early in the morning of the second day, Gu Yanyao led the army to continue to scold the street, the main scolding was naturally Gu Yansheng, the breadth of the vocabulary was staggering, and the direction of this insult gradually deviated from the original direction, from how Gu Yansheng coerced the Son of Heaven to make the wolf ambitions of the princes, to the emperor's bias and single-mindedness to only believe in the prince and the queen, and then later, he directly scolded the turtle-like Royal Forest Army......
His Royal Highness, who was once a very gentle and elegant prince, has continued to fall below everyone's stereotype for several days.
And the Praetorian Guards in the city, who had already lined up inside the city gate, only held their swords and halberds in their hands, and listened quietly and silently to the scolding outside the city gate.
So much so that on the third day, when Gu Yanyao approached the moment when he began to insult the officers and soldiers in the city with a clearer voice, he saw rows of archers standing on the city wall, and on each bow and arrow, there was a long arrow burning with flames.
The bow is full, and the arrow is on the string......
If you look closely, you can still see the expressions of the archers, although silent, but with the anger of gnashing teeth, there is a kind of ruthlessness of seeing gods and killing gods, and slaughtering Buddhas when they meet Buddhas.
The soldiers, who had been behind the door for two days, were furious.
