Outside the Royal Palace.

Cai Yong was a little dirty all over, lying on the dusty ground, his eyes were full of shame and anger, and even his will to die.

In broad daylight, a minister of state was thrown out directly by the emperor, which was a great humiliation.

Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated!

In the main hall just now, the emperor's distrust and anger towards Luokong reached the extreme, but he only removed the official position of real power and gave him the official position of the servant.

This may seem excessive.

But in fact, this is not the case, especially compared to Cai Yong's matter, it is simply a drop in the bucket.

Luokong directly left the emperor in Luoyang, and the emperor fought back in anger, and the response was very measured, even much stronger than the original direct party officials.

Although he has no real power, he is very noble.

The courtiers in the palace just felt that it was very inappropriate not to reuse Luokong at this critical time.

And how serious is Cai Yong's matter, with the view of monarchs and ministers in this period, the righteousness of monarchs and ministers between Cai Yong and the emperor is basically severed!

It is no exaggeration to say that if people were a little more strong, they would have gone home and committed suicide.

This is because the emperor has the identity of the Son of Heaven, and no one can kill the Son of Heaven, if he is simply the monarch, I am afraid that he will have to take revenge directly with the theory of the monarch and the minister.

"No, I can't die here, in case I can save the books in the hands of the Taiping Army, in case I can still live to see Wen Ji and Zhen Ji, I want to see them get married, I want to preserve the essence of the world."

The light in Cai Yong's eyes gradually brightened, and he climbed up from the ground, but he felt that his ankle was injured, and every time he hit it was extremely painful.

Suddenly, he felt that his body was being helped by a hand, and when he turned his head, the palace door was wide open, and the courtiers who entered the palace came out one after another, and his friend Qiao Xuan was supporting him.

"Uncle, you ......"

Looking at Cai Yong's rather embarrassing scene, Qiao Xuan didn't know what to say, he could be regarded as a high authority, as long as he went further, he would be the third prince, but he couldn't say anything just now.

"Gongzu!"

Cai Yong didn't blame Qiao Xuan for not speaking for him, he held Qiao Xuan's hand tightly, and said with sadness: "What the emperor issued is a chaotic order, and the Han will die because of it!" ”

Qiao Xuan sighed and said, "How can I not know, who in the palace does not know?"

I don't know if Dong Zhuo is a loyal minister, but the Marquis of Wushuang must be more credible than Dong Zhuo.

But the Wushuang Marquis is loyal to the Han family, but not to the emperor.

The reason why the emperor was so angry was because he was so afraid in his heart, he was so worried that he would die, so he could only vent like this.

What you said angered him the most, you know? ”

Cai Yong was a little stunned, he had no talent in politics, and he was too far behind his friends.

Hearing this, he could only say stunned: "Maybe."

But once the emperor's will was issued, it could not be taken back.

Immediately all the will will could not be issued, and even if it was regretted at that time, it was too late. ”

Qiao Xuan understood what he was talking about, once the Taiping army surrounded Luoyang, it would definitely be impassable.

At that time, Luoyang's will cannot be issued, and the situation in the world will not be controlled by the Luoyang court, and it can only be carried out according to the will sent before.

At that time, even if you want to let Wushuanghou take on the big responsibility again, it will be no fun.

Qiao Xuan looked at the hundreds of messengers rushing out of the palace, all carrying bamboo tubes sealed with beeswax, riding high-headed horses, riding horses, riding away, extremely fast, and even scattered the crowd on the street, and said softly: "It's late, the messengers of the imperial court have been dispatched." ”

The reason why there are so many messengers is because the area around Luoyang City is very dangerous.

Among these more than 100 people, I am afraid that there is not one in ten who can really deliver the holy decree.

That's why the emperor didn't run away.

Those who sent their children away were united and organized by the guards with high martial arts skills to ensure a safe departure.

In fact, he is also desperate, staying in the city is almost certain death, this is not a rebellion of the princes, and it will estimate a lot of things, according to the rules agreed before.

The peasant army has no rules, and most of the cases of entering the city are indiscriminate killings, especially the peasant army of Zhang Jiao, who is armed against the sky, and kills the princes of King Qin without mercy, in the eyes of the people in the court, it must be a demon king who loves to kill.

Unless he encounters the kind of peasant army leader who has great ambitions in the world and knows the importance of encircling the scholars, he will make the move of Corporal Lixian.

But in this era, even the poor are not willing to follow the pure peasant army to mix, in this case, only by leaving Luoyang City may be able to survive.

As all the messengers left, all the gates of Luoyang City were slammed shut.

The imperial army began to clear the area and enforce the strictest military control policy, even stricter than during the curfew.

A column of soldiers appeared in the streets and alleys, and the elite climbed to the top of the city and began to inspect the weapons defending the city.

The scorching sun in the sky that had been blazing all day was moving towards the west, and it was almost more than two hours since Luokong left the camp at this moment.

Everyone is waiting for the Taiping army to appear, it may be two hours later, it may be longer.

From the towering city wall of Luoyang, looking from afar, on the horizon, there are figures one after another.

With the sound of horses' hooves shaking the mountains for a while, everyone in Luoyang City knew.

The Taiping Army has arrived!

Stomp, stomp!

The banners of the Taiping army came from all directions of Luoyang City.

On all the roads leading to Luoyang were the cavalry of the Taiping army, and the lineup was extremely luxurious.

A large number of empty horses, just a cursory glance, reached five or even six horses per person, so many war horses, all the dust between heaven and earth.

"How many people are there!"

Now the general defending the city understood why the Taiping army could not appear so quickly.

It turned out that there was no stop along the way, and when a horse was tired of running, he changed horses to run, and he came as fast as he could.

From the Taiping army appearing from all directions, it is not difficult to see that they are actually scattered to block people!

Many of the people who had left the city before had become prisoners of the Taiping army.

This shows that it was only an hour since the departure of Wushuang Marquis, and these Taiping troops had actually arrived near Luoyang.

Now the generals at the head of the city have only one question, why didn't these Taiping troops block the Wushuang Marquis?

It stands to reason that he can bite the tail of the unequaled marquis.

But when the Taiping army arrived completely, the general would know.

Although the momentum was raging just now, and there was a cloud of smoke and dust between heaven and earth, in fact, the Taiping army that arrived was not many.

The first batch of Taiping troops only numbered a few thousand, but at first glance they were all elite cavalry.

The Taiping army brought so many horses to these thousands of people for only one purpose, that is, to prevent the big men of Luoyang City from escaping.

Relying only on these cavalry, if the thief's horn does not appear, he will not be able to fight the iron cavalry in the Western Regions.

Thinking of this, the general defending the city was a little moved, if it was simply these five thousand cavalry, now the soldiers in Luoyang City could also fight in the field.

But after thinking about it a little, although he was more sure in his heart, he didn't dare to let him lead his troops out of the city.

He was worried that if someone was ambushed outside the city, if he sent away the elite in the city, it would be very difficult to defend the city after that, and it would not be good.

It's better to defend the city honestly, after all, Luoyang City is still popular now.

The people in the city generally had a fear of the Taiping army, and in this case, they were still able to share the same hatred with the royal family.

The general sent people to the palace to report the arrival of the Taiping army, and he continued to observe the situation of the Taiping army.

Groups of Taiping troops came from the direction of Gongxian, and then camped under the leadership of Qu Shuai to form a continuous camp, which was built very firmly to prevent the sudden night attack of the Han army.

Those who have traveled a hundred miles are half ninety, and they have come to this point, so they must be cautious and must not capsize in the gutter.

As time went on, more and more Taiping troops arrived, battalion by battalion, and soon tens of thousands of people arrived under the city of Luoyang.

These were either cavalry or infantry on horseback, and they were all relatively fast.

With these Taiping soldiers in place, everyone inside and outside the city knew that the final battle was about to begin.

No one can escape.

Luoyang Palace.

One by one, news came to the palace, and when he heard that there were only a few thousand people at first, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief.

But wave after wave of real-time news, after hearing that it soon increased to tens of thousands, the emperor's face was a little tense.

Resentment against Luo Kong rose in his heart, he could have escaped with Luo Kong, just because the so-called Son of Heaven could not escape, so he stayed here.

"Hateful!"

His fear of the great horror between life and death is unmistakable, and he is even a little weak to stand, and the more selfish people are, the more afraid they are in the face of such situations.

……

When Luo Xiao arrived with the rest of the Taiping army, he was faced with a tightly closed city gate.

From the people he caught before, Luo Xiao quickly knew what Luo Kong had done, and immediately laughed, his younger brother is really a wonderful person.

As for him taking away the crown prince, Luo Xiao didn't care, even if the crown prince ascended the throne in Chang'an, it was just the emperor's throne, and the Son of Heaven might not even dare to try.

"Luoyang!"

Luo Xiaoce stepped forward immediately, sighing slightly.

That majestic city stood not far away, Luo Xiao had countless thoughts in his heart, for everyone Luo's son, Luoyang was a holy city.

This is the city built by the ancestor King Su himself, which has blessed the Zhou people for thousands of years, and is still protecting the family until now.

"Fortunately, it was me who came to attack Luoyang!"

Luo Xiao had a look of happiness in his heart, this city was very important to the family.

In the war, it is easiest to destroy the city, and it is not deliberately damaged, but no one cares, so it naturally encounters all kinds of destruction, such as Xianyang and Chang'an, which were once very glorious cities, but now they are all defeated.

Of course, the main structure of Luoyang City will not be destroyed, but those stones are not cities.

The people who live in it, the dynasty that contains luck, is built here, and the most important thing is that.

On the edge of Luoyang, the Luoshui, the Zhuxia Divine River containing countless legends, flows endlessly, as if time is as eternal as time.

Luo Xiao bowed to Luo Shui to express his respect for the ancestor Luoshen.

Seeing that Luo Xiao had come to Luoyang City, the Qu Shuai who came first surrounded him, looked at Luoyang City in front of him with excited eyes and said, "Dao Master, are we going to attack the city directly?" ”

No wonder everyone was excited, when they followed the great sage and good teacher to rebel, it was just because of the unyielding in their hearts, who would have thought that there would be this day?

We really killed the capital of the Han Dynasty, under the holy city of Luoyang?

As long as the city in front of him is broken again, the Han court will almost be destroyed, and there is still an emperor in Luoyang City, no, the Son of Heaven!

If you thought of the Son of Heaven in the past, these Qu Shuai must have been afraid, after all, it was the Son of Heaven.

But not anymore!

As long as you look at the tall and towering figure in front of you, all fear will disappear.

The Han Ting Mandate of Heaven has been lost, and the Dao Lord is the real Mandate of Heaven!

The Son of Heaven in Luoyang City is just a pseudo-Son of Heaven.

Luo Xiao shook his head, and then laughed loudly: "There is no hurry to attack the city, there is no army in the world that can come to King Qin."

Victory will be ours sooner or later.

The so-called text is like an arrow!

When the Qin Dynasty was destroyed, the princes said: Oh the Qin Dynasty, the number of qi is exhausted!

Now that we are going to destroy the last destiny of the Han court, how can we directly use violence like this?

We are not rebelling, but rising up to make a revolution, and if we don't tell the world, how can we represent justice?

If you don't tell the world, how can you let everyone know that the defeat of the Han court is because of the loss of the mandate of heaven? ”

When all the Taiping Qu Shuai heard this, they all echoed Luo Xiao loudly and laughed.

This feeling of executing the mandate of heaven on behalf of heaven is really wonderful!

……

Luoyang Palace.

The hall was quite quiet, the emperor could be angry at any time now, and no one dared to touch his brow.

"Your Majesty, the Taiping Army sent in a document, and the Taiping Army also ordered the soldiers to read this document aloud outside Luoyang City."

The emperor didn't expect that such a rebellious thief army of the Taiping Army would send a message, and he suddenly became even more angry, "Give me a thought!" ”

"Your Majesty!"

Where did this order dare to read, although I haven't seen it yet, there must be nothing good in it, and the emperor roared angrily: "Give me a thought!" ”

Seeing the emperor's angry insistence, the envoy could only tremble and open his mind.

"Emperor of the Han Dynasty:

I am the Lord of Heaven, born from the Mandate of Heaven, and I came to this world to break the Mandate of Heaven.

Three hundred years of the Han Dynasty, on the day of the solstice, the yin and yang are reversed, the order is reversed, the court is above, the faint monarch is treacherous, the country has declined, and God no longer cares, I respectfully carry out the order of God, and get rid of the last old life of the Han court.

This is a sign to you.

If you take off your armor and descend, you can also leave a remnant life, disobey the heavens, only crush the bones and scatter ashes, and forever fall into the Yellow Spring. ”
