Chapter 137: The Great Chaos Begins to Settle
By the time Li Hao entered the Vertical Arch Palace, the rebels had been defeated and fled by the Imperial Camp Army and the Dragon Guard.
After all, they all knew that outside the imperial city, there was a counterinsurgency army besieging them, and now they saw the men and horses of the Imperial Camp Army and the Dragon Guard Army killing from outside.
King Yan and the rebels under his command knew that the general trend had gone, and the spirit in his heart was scattered.
So they didn't care about resisting, and they scattered and fled in an instant, thinking that they could escape this catastrophe, so a prepared positional battle turned into a chase and escape war.
Seeing this, the Imperial Battalion and the Dragon Guard also divided their teams and chased after the rebels.
When Li Hao arrived, there was only a small group of people left outside the Funing Hall to clean up the mess.
Seeing this situation, Li Hao shouted to the Funing Palace, and after confirming the information with Gu Tingye, Gu Tingye asked people inside to clean up all kinds of debris blocking the door.
While waiting, Li Hao found Bi Zhongyou and said, "There are many nobles in the palace, and we can't let the rebels run around, otherwise it won't be good if there is some damage.
It is better to let some people go directly to the halls to protect, and the front hall also needs to send people over to see the situation.
After all, there are quite a few civil and military ministers in the palace, and we can't leave them alone."
Bi Zhongyou also agreed to this, and then began to recall some of the soldiers and assign specific garrison tasks.
Li Hao also called Cao Zhen here and asked him to take charge of this matter, and also asked people to go to the camp in the western suburbs to convey the news of the successful counterinsurgency.
The other most important thing is to arrange someone to hunt down King Yan, after all, if King Yan is not caught, it will be a scourge sooner or later, and it must be prevented.
After the two of them made arrangements, the door in the Funing Hall was finally opened.
Gu Tingye walked out first, and directly led Li Hao and Bi Zhongyou into the hall to see Zhao Zhen.
After seeing Zhao Zhen in the Funing Palace, the two saluted, and Li Hao said: "The minister's rescue is late, which frightens the official family, and I hope that the official family will forgive the sin."
Bi Zhongyou next to him also bowed and apologized together.
At the same time, Li Hao also took out the talisman and wanted to return it to Zhao Zhen.
After all, he is a courtier, and now that the matter has been roughly concluded, who knows what Zhao Zhen will think about the soldiers after this incident.
This thing is a hot potato now, and Li Hao doesn't want to keep it in his hands at all.
But Zhao Zhen didn't take it, but helped the two of them up, and then said, "The two Qing families have meritorious service in saving the driver, what is the crime."
After that, he said to Li Hao: "Bianjing is in this trouble, and there are still many things to deal with.
You can take the talisman first, and when everything is done, you will return it to me."
Hearing this, Li Hao could at least judge that Zhao Zhen had no opinion on himself, so he happily accepted the order, which made Bi Zhongyou next to him envious.
If it is said that the talisman and edict were handed over to Li Hao at the beginning, it can be said that he was ordered in danger, and the defense in the palace was done by the imperial camp army, which can also be said.
But now that he has put the talisman in Li Hao's hand, he really believes in it, so he has made up his mind to befriend Li Hao.
After saying this, Zhao Zhen asked again at this time, "What is the situation of the Imperial Palace and Bianjing now? Did King Yan and Rong Xian catch it?"
After hearing this, Li Hao replied: "When the minister arrived, the rebels had already dispersed, and King Yan did not know where to go, but the minister had already ordered someone to strictly track it down.
….
Moreover, all the gates of the palace have soldiers and horses, and King Yan can't escape from the palace if he wants to.
As for Rong Xian, he commanded the rebels at Xihua Gate to resist the Divine Guard Song Commander, and the minister had just assigned a group of people from the palace to Xihua Gate, and under the internal and external interception, Rong Xian couldn't escape."
After briefly talking about the situation of the two, Li Hao began to talk about the specific arrangements this time: "After receiving the official edict, the minister sent the imperial camp army to enter the city first to rescue the driver, and then went to the camp in the western suburbs, and mobilized the Shenwei Army, the Dragon Guard Army, the Xiongwei Army, the Xiaojie Army, the Changning Army, and the Huaiyong Army.
Because the rebels had limited troops, they did not place many men and horses in Bianjing City, so along the way, there was only Wanshengmen and Bianjing City
There was a fight at the Liang Gate, but the number of people was not large, and it did not affect a large area.
Moreover, the minister also assigned people to inspect Bianjing, so there should be no military accidents, and the officials can rest assured.
As for the palace side, the envoys of the ministers and Bi commanded the envoys to enter the palace from the direction of Xuande Gate, and the Song commanders of the Shenwei Army attacked the Xihua Gate.
The Donghua Gate attacked by the Xiongwei Army and the Xiaojie Army, and the Gongchen Gate attacked by the Changning Army and the Huaiyong Army, because these two places are far away, I think they should not have entered the palace now.
In addition, on Concubine Rong's side, the minister also sent Yang Wenyuan to bring people to rescue the noble family scroll who was summoned into the palace by Concubine Rong."
Hearing this, Zhao Zhen probably thought of Xiao Qin's death, and his face couldn't help but have some sentimentality.
After a moment of silence, he said, "You have done these things properly."
After speaking, he said to Bi Zhongyou: "Commander Bi, you go down and assign some people to pick up the people of Donghua Gate and Gongchen Gate, and only let the generals enter the palace, and the others will stay outside the palace and seal the palace gate."
As for the Xihua Gate, you can also go and see it in person, and the soldiers and horses don't have to enter the palace, only let the generals in, and if Rong Xian is captured, bring him to see me."
When Bi Zhongyou heard Zhao Zhen's arrangement, he retreated to do things.
Then Zhao Zhen asked the people in the palace to retreat, leaving only the queen and Li Hao in the palace.
When there was no one in the hall, he asked, "In addition to the edict on the transfer of troops, another edict is still there."
When Li Hao heard this, he immediately took out the edict and said, "The edict is here, the minister has never shown it to others, and he has always kept it with him, and now it will be returned to the official family."
After Zhao Zhen took the edict, he rubbed it twice, seemed to be a little emotional, and said, "Since you have read it, tell me what you think about it!"
You also advised me at the beginning that King Yong and King Yan were not good candidates, but unfortunately I didn't listen to you."
Li Hao has just made a great contribution now, and he really doesn't want to get involved in this matter, anyway, no matter who succeeds to the throne, he has to admit his own feelings.
Then he said, "The minister really doesn't know about the people in the edict.
This is not a prevarication, but he has never dealt with this person, and I really don't know what this person is like."
After Zhao Zhen heard this, he sighed lightly before saying, "It's true, I haven't intersected, and I really can't know what the specific person is.
Forget it, you go down and arrange things first, so that the chaos in the palace can be resolved as soon as possible."
After finishing speaking, he added: "In addition, you go and comfort Gu Tingye, Ye Sheng and Jin Chaoxing."
….
Hearing this, Li Hao suddenly had a bad premonition, guessed what might happen, and waited out of the palace gate.
Li Hao asked Gu Tingye, who came out together, and from Gu Tingye's mouth, it was also confirmed that Li Hao's guess was not wrong.
Just as he was about to comfort Gu Tingye, Yang Wenyuan rushed back and said, "When I went to the Baoci Palace, Concubine Rong already knew that the matter was defeated and committed suicide by taking poison.
Most of the family scrolls of the Xun Gui invited to today's banquet were over there, and only the family scrolls of Gu Tingye, Ye Sheng, and Jin Chaoxing were taken away."
After speaking, he looked at Gu Tingye on the side, and Li Hao also sighed at this time.
Instead, Gu Tingye said, "Well, King Yan used their lives to force us to open the palace gate, and before we agreed, they killed my mother and them, and threw their heads in."
Yang Wenyuan was silent for a while after hearing this, and said, "I didn't expect it to be like this, you're okay."
Gu Tingye replied, "You two also know about my relationship with my family, so you can accept it.
It's Ye Sheng and Jin Chaoxing, they are really sad today, they cried and fainted for a while just now, and I asked them to be placed in the side hall."
After listening to Gu Tingye's words, Li Hao first arranged for someone to collect their corpses, so as not to accidentally damage the people below.
Then he said, "Let's go, let's go meet them together."
After saying that, the three of them went to the side hall together, and when they entered, they could see two sandalwood boxes on the shelves, which should contain their mother's head.
The two of them knelt in front of the shelf in a daze, and they could see from their backs that they were sluggish and sluggish.
Seeing this situation, Li Hao was going to use the words of comfort, but he was a little speechless for a while.
At this time, someone came to report that the body of King Yan had been found in Zichen Palace, and the body of Xiao Qin's family had also been found.
Ye Sheng and Jin Chaoxing also heard this, and turned back at the same time.
Seeing the two of them looking over, Li Hao said, "As soon as King Yan dies, you can be regarded as a great revenge, and if Hui Rongxian is arrested, I will go to the official family and severely punish him according to law."
People cannot be resurrected from death, you still have to take care of your body, mourn and change, and now the most important thing is to let the corpses come together so that they can rest in peace."
Hearing this, the two of them became a little angry, got up and saluted the three of them, and went out of the hall to see the corpses.
Seeing this, Li Hao hurriedly asked people to help, and then said to Gu Tingye, "You can go too, no matter what, they are all Gu family members.
Later, I'll go to the official's house and see if I can bring in a few coffins."
Gu Tingye nodded, and went out of the hall.
After the others left, Li Hao's mood was still a little heavy, but he thought that there were still a lot of things to deal with next, and he didn't have much time to stay here.
So he said to Yang Wenyuan, "You are here to accompany the three of them for a while, and I will go to the official family first to ask about the coffin."
In addition, I will have to verify the corpse of King Yan later, so as not to cause trouble when the time comes."
….
Yang Wenyuan understood this, and said that he was here and let Li Hao get busy first.
Li Hao just came out and was about to go to Zhao Zhen, but someone came to report the news, saying that the corpses of King Yong's family were found in Rui Si Palace, among which Princess Yong and the county lord of Jiacheng were both humiliated to death.
For this ending, Li Hao had expected it, and asked people to protect the scene, and then entered the Funing Hall to inform Zhao Zhen, and mentioned the matter of transporting the coffin into the palace.
Zhao Zhen agreed to this, and specially allowed them to use the coffin and handle funeral matters beyond the limit.
After winning his life, Li Hao ordered someone to go out of the palace to purchase a coffin.
Just when he came out, Li Hao ran into Song Chaozhong and Bi Zhongyou with someone to press Rong Xian.
With the arrival of Rong Xian, as long as the one in Zichen Hall is really King Yan, this rebellion will be over.
Therefore, Li Hao did not delay time, and after saying hello to the two, he hurried to Zichen Hall to verify the authenticity.
When I arrived at the Zichen Palace, I saw that this corpse was indeed King Yan, and he was sitting on the seat that represented the imperial power, and it should be that he sat on this seat and killed himself.
Seeing this situation, Li Hao couldn't help but feel that this throne was indeed attracting people to commit crimes.
After thinking about it, Li Hao ordered someone to carry King Yan out and put it away, after all, he was a disciple of the clan, and Zhao Zhen still had to make up his mind about how to send it, and he had to prevent Zhao Zhen from suddenly wanting to check the authenticity in person.
After finishing this, Li Hao was not idle, and beckoned some people to start inspecting the palace to ensure that no one would take advantage of the chaos.
It took about two hours to patrol the palace, and I also caught a few guys with unclean hands and feet along the way.
By the time Li Hao returned to the Funing Hall again, it was already dark.
However, Zhao Zhen did not rest at this time, and when he saw Li Hao coming, he summoned Li Hao in, along with Song Chaozhong, Bi Zhongyou and other generals who participated in the counterinsurgency.
Zhao Zhen said, "You have made meritorious contributions to quelling the rebellion this time, and after this matter is over, I will reward you for your meritorious deeds.
Now that the rebel bandit capital is dead or captured, there is no need to keep so many people in the palace.
The Imperial Camp Army will stay in the palace for the time being, and the rest of the horses will leave the palace first and return to the camp in the western suburbs."
Everyone obeyed the order, and Zhao Zhen comforted each of them a few words, and then let him
They all retreated.
Only Li Hao was left to speak: "Staying in the palace is a great responsibility, you have to be cautious.
In addition, Ye Sheng, Jin Chaoxing, and Gu Tingye, let the three of them go back and arrange things at home, so don't arrange things for them."
Hearing this, Li Hao hurriedly agreed, and then went out to find Xu Ning and asked him to arrange for him to guard the palace.
After a busy circle, when he returned to the Funing Palace, Li Hao thought that Zhao Zhen should be resting, but he didn't expect that the Funing Hall would be lively next.
After Li Hao sent Ye Sheng and Jin Chaoxing out, he went outside the hall with Gu Tingye.
Gu Tingye must have to wait until he leaves with Gu Yankai, and Li Hao is here to stand guard.
After discussing it for a while, everyone came out one after another.
Gu Yankai saw Gu Tingye on the side and asked, "Where are their bodies, take me over to see."
….
Gu Tingye replied, "Now that it's on the Jiying Gate, my father will come with me."
After finishing speaking, he took Gu Yankai to say goodbye, and after the British Duke came out, he looked at Li Hao for a while, and wondered what Li Hao looked at before leaving.
After that, Fu Bi and Han Qi stayed behind and said a few words to Li Hao: "The palace guards have been handed over to you, and now that the chaos is at the beginning of the peace, you have to be careful with everything."
Li Hao said, "Don't worry, the two ministers, I will take care of it and won't let the palace cause any more trouble."
After hearing this, Han Qi said, "Then you can work hard, in addition, there are still many officials in the palace.
You arrange it, and if there is no problem, let it out first."
Li Hao naturally agreed, and at this time, the Funing Hall came to call Li Hao into the hall for questioning, and Li Hao announced his resignation with the two ministers.
After entering the hall, looking at Zhao Zhen with a haggard face, Li Hao was really worried that he couldn't bear it, so he couldn't help blurting out: "Official, if it's not early today, why don't you rest first, if there is anything you can talk about tomorrow."
Listening to Li Hao's words, Zhao Zhen seemed to be a little surprised, but he quickly reacted and said, "I originally planned to let the British Duke and Ning Yuanhou go to the camp in the western suburbs, but Ning Yuanhou's family has a funeral to do, so I'm afraid I don't have much energy.
In addition to sitting in the palace these days, you go to the camp in the western suburbs to help the British public deal with some things.
But remember to treat the British Duke with some respect."
After hearing this, Li Hao replied: "The minister understands, and the minister will definitely help the British to run a good errand."
After talking about this, Li Hao thought it would be nothing, but he didn't expect that in the end, Zhao Zhen and Li Hao also started a family routine, and said, "By the way, I remember that the Qing family has never been married, so there is a girl who has been decided."
Zhao Zhen changed the topic so quickly, Li Hao didn't expect it at all, and after being stunned for a moment, he replied: "This is not yet, the minister is still young now, and the family is not in a hurry for the time being."
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen sighed: "It's not small, if my Fang'er survives, it should be as big as you, and it should be a family."
When Li Hao heard this, he didn't know how to answer for a while, so the hall was a little silent.
Seeing this, the queen came to comfort Zhao Zhen.
When Zhao Zhen came back to his senses, he let Li Hao retreat.
Out of the Funing Palace, Li Hao still felt that Zhao Zhen was very strange today, especially the last few sentences, but he couldn't understand it for a while.
Then Li Hao thought about Sheng Changbai and Sheng Hong, two unlucky bastards, and it was estimated that they were also in the palace today, so he was ready to go to the front hall to release the two of them.
In addition, he brought Yang Wenyuan and asked him to arrange for someone to do an initial screening of the many officials who were imprisoned, and anyone who was okay could be released first.
When Li Hao saw Sheng Changbai and Sheng Hong, the two were nesting in an abandoned palace and being guarded.
Seeing Li Hao coming, Sheng Hong was so excited, that posture wanted to rush out directly.
As a result, he was stopped by the guards guarding the door.
Li Hao hurriedly asked the soldiers to get out of the way and let Sheng Hong come over.
Sheng Hong came over and said, "Virtuous nephew, what is the specific situation in the palace now, can we leave the palace?"
….
Li Hao said, "It's okay, I'm here to send you and Brother Changbai out of the palace this time.
Now that the palace and Bianjing City have been basically cleared, I will send a few people to escort you back later."
Saying that, he let Sheng Changbai out, and then took the two of them to Xuande Gate, found a carriage, and arranged a few people to protect them along the road.
Of course, along the way, it was inevitable that Sheng Hong would ask what happened today.
Li Hao picked up what he could say, told the two of them some news, and separately told Sheng Changbai about Xiao Qin's affairs, so that he could go to the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion for a trip.
After Li Hao returned to the imperial city, he couldn't be idle, and he kept patrolling the imperial city with people all night, for fear that if there were thieves hiding in any corner, it would be troublesome.
The night was fine, and in the early morning, when it was the cleanest and less people, the light was faint, and the eaves of the blue and gray tiles were covered with a layer of mist, and the scene was very different from the bloody red of yesterday.
At this time, Li Hao stood on the Xuande Gate, but he could still smell the bloody smell left over from yesterday's fighting, and in the distance, he could already see the official sedan chair swaying and carrying across the street, and the officials sitting on it were the officials of today's court.
Li Hao looked at it for a while, and then went to Daqing Hall to see how it was cleaned up over there, and whether it could go to court normally.
When he arrived, Xu Ning was already in the Daqing Palace, and when he saw Li Hao coming, he said, "The Daqing Hall has been cleaned up, and fortunately, the war is basically in the harem, and this side has basically not been affected.
Otherwise, it won't be so easy to clean it up."
After hearing this, Li Hao said, "That's not good, you continue to watch here, I'll go to the Funing Hall to have a look."
After finishing speaking, he went to the harem to see the situation on Zhao Zhen's side.
However, before Li Hao entered the Funing Palace, he could already hear the sound of busy people in the hall, and it seemed that Zhao Zhen had already gotten up.
At four o'clock, Zhao Zhen dragged his heavy body, sat in a soft sedan chair and set off for the Daqing Palace.
Li Hao also followed behind to escort him, after all, today's main thing is to make a qualitative of yesterday's rebellion, and he will inevitably participate.
As for the reward for everyone, it is estimated that it will take a few more days to come out.
The film and television heavens start from knowing whether or not.
