Chapter 40 Destroy the emperor
Dazuo, the imperial capital of Luojing, is a piece of gunpowder at the moment, there has just experienced a big war here, although it is not tragic, but many people have died.
Above the court, countless court nobles were trembling with fear at the moment, only Emperor Li Lin sat on the dragon chair, although his expression was a little nervous, but he could not see the slightest fear and panic.
"Your Majesty, the army of King Qingyang has broken through the imperial capital, and it has come to the imperial city at this moment, let's go, Your Majesty."
"Yes! Your Majesty, stay in the green mountains and are not afraid of no firewood, we still have hundreds of thousands of troops in Xuchang, Guanzhou and other places, as long as Your Majesty is here, why worry about the day when the country recovers. ”
The ministers, you and I, have persuaded Li Lin to abandon the city and escape.
However, Li Lin did not express his position, looked at Lu Huaiyang, who was speechless, and asked unhurriedly; "Zai Fu Ke agrees."
Lu Huaiyang saw the emperor's inquiry and replied; "The minister thinks that it is impossible, since ancient times, the Son of Heaven has guarded the country, and the king has died in the community, as it should be, how can he be afraid of a strong enemy and spare his life, abandon the temple and escape."
Lu Huaiyang is worthy of being the chief assistant of the dynasty, and every sentence can always be said to the emperor's heart.
He knew that Emperor Li Lin would not leave, but he didn't know what Li Lin's reliance was?
Hearing Lu Huaiyang's answer, Emperor Li Lin showed a satisfied smile and said; "Qing's words are very much in line with my intentions, I am waiting for the King of Qingyang here, to see if he dares to kill the king?"
After Li Lin's words, many ministers under the rank looked at Lu Huaiyang and him like two arms, and secretly slandered in their hearts; "It's really two second goods, people won't kill the king, why are people rebelling?"
However, although the ministers were dissatisfied, no one left the main hall, not that they were loyal and wanted to live and die with the emperor, but that this hall was full of armor soldiers, and once they left, I am afraid that they would die before they walked out of the gate.
Let's say that Changgong Biannan led a large army to attack Luojing from Shangdang and Xiajianzhou, which should have been difficult and slow, because they took the most difficult of the three routes.
But what Changgong Biannan didn't expect was that he led the army everywhere, all the city was opened and surrendered, all the way to the bloodless blade, the army drove to Luojing City, although there was some resistance in Luojing City, but how to stand his army, just two hours, he broke through the city pass, took Luojing.
"Post a list of security people, send orders to all ministries, do not disturb the people, and violators will be beheaded."
"General Xiong, lead the troops to surround the palace with this commander."
At the head of Luojing City, Changgong Biannan gave orders in an orderly manner.
The generals naturally took the order.
After a while, Changgong Biannan led the army to surround the palace.
He ordered the three armies to hold the gates, and ordered not to let a single soldier escape. He himself entered the Ouchi with hundreds of pro-army.
In the Zhangde Palace, all the ministers watched Changgong Bian Nan lead the armor soldiers to kill, and they were all terrified, and some even knelt on the ground, hoping to save a life.
Of course, there are also loyal ministers, who scolded Changgong Bian Nan for being unkind, unjust, disloyal and unfilial, but Changgong Bian Nan didn't want to deal with them, in his opinion, these are just a group of rotten Confucians, who will only take advantage of some tongues.
The only ones in the hall who did not express themselves were Emperor Li Lin and Zai Fu Lu Huaiyang.
Changgong Bian Nan ordered the armor to clear the guards in the palace, and came to the emperor to salute in front of the driver; "The minister Chang Palace Bian Nan knocked to see His Majesty the Emperor, he was in armor, and he couldn't pay homage according to the rituals, please forgive your Majesty."
Seeing that Changgong Biannan came to worship with armor, Li Lin did not panic, sat on the Nine Dragons Pearl Chair, and said; "You don't have to be polite." Then he asked in a pretended puzzled manner; "Why did Qing bring armor here today?"
Changgong Bian Nan didn't expect that until this moment, Li Lin could still look so calm.
Is it scared stupid?
But he doesn't look like him!
Could it be that he still has something to rely on?
But now that the entire Luo Kyoto has been taken, and there are his own people inside and outside this palace, why can he be so calm?
Changgong Biannan decided to pull someone out and try Li Lin's reaction, so he said; "The minister heard that His Majesty was coerced by traitorous ministers, so he came to rescue him."
After speaking, Changgong Bian Nan pointed to Lu Huaiyang on the side and scolded, saying that he deceived the king and harmed the people, and he should be punished for his crimes, so he ordered the soldiers on the side to drag him out and behead him.
Li Lin was about to say something to stop him, but he saw Changgong Bian Nan suddenly draw his sword and cut Lu Huaiyang on the spot with a sword.
The poor generation of Zaifu Lu Huaiyang, who has exhausted all his life, but he didn't expect to end up with such a fate, which is really sad and lamentable!
Seeing that Bian Nan of Changgong actually killed Lu Huaiyang in the palace, Li Lin was suddenly furious and slapped the dragon case angrily; "You dare to kill the Zaifu of the dynasty, it's really bold, didn't King Qingyang tell you that you are not allowed to touch a single grass or tree in the palace?"
Hearing Li Lin's words, Changgong Yao frowned slightly, King Qingyang did explain that after breaking Luojing, he was only allowed to send troops to surround the palace, and he was not allowed to disturb it, and everything would be decided after he came.
However, he ignored one point, the reason why Changgong Biannan took refuge in him was not because of the end of the road as he thought, but from the beginning, he came with the intention of overthrowing the court and killing the emperor.
Seeing the furious Li Lin, Changgong Bian Nan didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore, he wanted to kill Li Lin when King Qingyang arrived.
A sneer hung on the corner of his mouth, Changgong Bian Nandao; "King Qingyang has ordered, but he has ordered me to send you back to the west."
As he spoke, he took the war knife in his hand that was still dripping blood, and walked towards Li Lin on the dragon chair.
Seeing this, Xiong Tiande on the side hurriedly stepped forward to block in front of Changgong Bian Nan and said; "You can't be handsome, the prince has specially explained, you can't kill the king."
Changgong Bian Nan looked at Xiong Tiande who was blocking him, and frowned; "General Xiong, get out of the way, I will kill him today."
However, Xiong Tiande resolutely carried out the orders of the King of Qingyang; "Dashuai, the last general knows that you have hatred in your heart, but the last general is here today, and he will not let you disobey the orders of the gods."
Changgong Bian Nan saw that he had a tough attitude, and knew that if he insisted on doing so, I was afraid that he would not be able to kill this emperor today.
So he thought for a moment and whispered to Xiong Tiande; "Old general, it's not that I insist on seeking revenge on him, but think about it, if he doesn't die, then what are we rebelling for? How can there be two emperors in the world? ”
After listening to Changgong Bian Nan's words, Xiong Tiande also hesitated for a while, indeed, if Li Lin didn't die, then what was the point of them gambling their lives to follow the King of Qingyang to rebel? In the end, Xiongtian De's heart was horizontal, and he closed his eyes and said; "I didn't see anything."
At this moment, Li Lin on the dragon chair finally no longer had the same fearless expression as before, and now his whole body was trembling, he didn't expect that King Qingyang actually wanted to kill him.
Changgong Bian Nan walked up to Li Lin and said; "Today, all of this is your own fault, since you are unkind as the king, then don't blame me for being unjust."
Li Lin saw the cold knife in Changgong Bian Nan's hand and said; "Becoming a king or defeating a king, I have nothing to say, I hope you read it for the sake of the monarch and the ministers, give me a good time, do it."
At this moment, Li Lin's face has receded from a timid look, replaced by a resolute face, which can be regarded as his last backbone as a king of a dead country.
Changgong Bian Nan nodded, agreed to his request, and then raised the cold sword in his hand.
Li Lin looked at the bloodstains left by Lu Huaiyang on the blade, and suddenly laughed; "Changgong Biannan, in the future, you will definitely die worse than me."
Hearing this, Changgong Bian Nan said coldly; "Unfortunately, you can't see it."
With that, he picked up the knife and slashed down.
A generation of emperors has fallen.
And just when Bian Nan of Changgong sealed Li Lin's throat with a knife, King Qingyang also happened to arrive and witnessed this scene.
Seeing Li Lin's blood splashed on the spot, his feet immediately trembled and he almost fell to the ground.
A few arrows stepped up, his eyes were cold, and his face was pale; "Who told you to kill him?"
Changgong Bian Nan didn't expect King Qingyang to come so quickly, but since he had already killed the person, he was not afraid of his blame.
However, just when Changgong Bian Nan was about to confess, Xiong Tiande took the first step to speak; "Lord Wang, the last general begs the prince not to blame the marshal, the last general thinks that the generalissimo has done the right thing, if the emperor is left, then there is still point in me waiting for this rebellion?"
Hearing this, the generals present also said; "Yes, Lord Wang, the old general is reasonable, please don't blame the Generalissimo."
King Qingyang saw that all the generals under his command spoke out to intercede for Changgong Biannan, and he also knew that he would not be able to punish him today no matter what, and the matter had come to this point, and he didn't want to make any trouble at this juncture.
So he said; "This king doesn't know such a reason, but he has the notoriety of killing the king, and he is afraid that other vassal kings will cause chaos in the future."
It is true, although they raised troops to seize the throne, but the name of the division was for the side of the Qing monarch, and now they have killed the emperor, if other vassal kings come to crusade against them under the banner of avenging the emperor, then they are really difficult thieves.
Changgong Bian Nan also knew this truth and said; "Prince, one person does things and one person is responsible, and the prince can kill the last general in the name of killing the king."
Hearing this, King Qingyang was quite moved in his heart, indeed, the best way now is like this.
But after thinking about it again, Changgong Bian Nan had just made a great contribution to himself, and if he killed him in the blink of an eye, it would inevitably be suspected of the death of a cunning rabbit and the cooking of a lackey. And the most important thing is that he has to rely on him to help him defend himself against the other town vassal kings, and he will definitely not be able to kill them now.
Not only can it not be killed, but it must be praised heavily.
So he changed his attitude and said; "You are the commander of the three armies of this king, how can this king harm your life for his own name, kill it, if the other vassal kings dare to use it to fight, just fight."
King Qingyang's words were really very high, so that the generals under his command could listen to them very usefully, after all, to set up a great enemy in order to protect one person, this is a decision that can only be made by people with courage.
And King Qingyang was willing to make enemies of all the princes for the sake of a subordinate, which made his generals all grateful and deeply moved.
Let's say that after the Qingyang army invaded Luojing, the original soldiers and horses of the imperial court retreated one after another, however, they did not come to the rescue, but all surrendered to the account of the king of Qingyang.
As a result, the strength of the Qingyang army was greatly increased, reaching an astonishing 700,000, more than the combined armies of Yan and Jin.
Because there was no blockade from the defenders, King Yan and King Jinyang quickly hit Luojing City, however, after arriving, they found that King Qingyang had occupied Luojing early.
Because of the previous agreement, coupled with the fact that the strength of King Qingyang has increased greatly, King Yan and King Jinyang have also lost the opportunity to compete for the supreme, so they have to follow the agreement and serve King Qingyang as the emperor, and they have not gained any benefits, and led the troops back to their respective fiefdoms, of course, King Qingyang inevitably gave them the false name of "Prince Jiuxi".
After half a month of rest and preparation, the king of Qingyang officially ascended the throne in the fourth year of Dazuo Linwu, and continued to take Dazuo as the year name and changed the yuan to Xi.
When the new emperor ascends the throne, it is natural that the meritorious ministers are indispensable.
Changgong Bian Nan succeeded the king of Chu with the title and awarded the post of envoy of the world's soldiers and horses.
Xiong Tiande was the Taishi, and he was awarded the post of deputy envoy of the world's soldiers and horses.
The rest of the generals, strategists and ministers, were rewarded for meritorious service and were waiting for their posts without merit.
In the former dynasty, civil and military, those who have faults are punished, those who have merit are rewarded, and those who have no merit are used in measure.
There are laws for all things in the world, and everything is done according to the law.
