Chapter 1157: Jingzhao Mansion Meeting
Yu Wensheng had returned to the Jingzhao Mansion at this time, and his uneasy mood had completely calmed down.
Because tonight was so smooth.
Zhou Wenjun took the lead and lured Ashina Xionghe to get drunk in his tincture, even if the accident happened, his cronies broke into the bed and could not shake Xionghe from his drunken sleep. However, the 100,000 army is approaching Qixiamen, and it must be dealt with, otherwise no one can bear the consequences that may be triggered, even if Yu Wensheng immediately sent people to the palace ban, but the situation is too late to wait for Xie Ying's response.
Xionghe's cronies knew that Xie Ying was only a female streamer, and she was incapable of commanding military operations at all, even if she knew, she would only immediately ask the generals to negotiate and deal with it, and maybe Qixiamen would be no longer guaranteed, who could be sure that the Yingzhou Department only had these 100,000 horses in advance? Are there more sergeants in the future?
Therefore, he also agreed with Yu Wensheng's proposal, and immediately dispatched a total of 70,000 troops from the Liumen garrison to defend the three gates of Nanguo, and must not let foreign enemies invade, and the defense of the six gates and the establishment of some information in the city can only be handed over to Yu Wensheng to be responsible for control.
Xionghe is the general appointed by the Khan King himself, because he is greedy for cups, his cronies must come forward to order his subordinates to fight against the enemy, because the Turks will not really listen to the dispatch of Hanchen Yu Wensheng, they are also not at ease to win or lose the battle, to the Chinese subjects who "are not of our race, their hearts must be different", they can only choose to resist the enemy head-on at the critical moment, and expose their backs, they think that these unarmed people are brave enough to form a threat, which is of course due to arrogance and credulity- They forgot that it was Yu Wensheng who was in charge of a part of the weapons and armor - of course, it also stemmed from the enterprising spirit of being a soldier, they were all the personal guards of the war magic Sang, and they were all eager to make military achievements and lay the foundation of glory and wealth.
Bawang's private soldiers, even if they are united, there are only about 10,000, plus the children of the tribesmen, and they can't get together 20,000 people, not to mention that they fought against the Turkic army of one million, even if there are only 100,000 barbarians left in Chang'an City at this time, there is still a huge disparity in strength, and the Turks believe that these clans with their own ghosts have no blood to fight bravely, otherwise when they learned about the evil deeds of the Tubo generals, why did they just sit quietly and ask for their lives, and did not dare to seek justice with the sword in their hands?
The warlike and brave Turks actually sneered at the Confucian ministers of the Han family.
They didn't realize that when the 70,000 defenders gathered in Waiguo, the 30,000 guards who only stayed in the palace city no longer had a numerical advantage.
There is a lot of infighting in China, but this does not mean that in the face of external enemies, scattered sand cannot be kneaded.
Maybe the victory came too easily, the Turks forgot that even if the Queen Mother fled eastward, Bawang could still unite with the people of Chang'an to defend Kyoto, if it weren't for the surrender of Chai and the defeat of the Bawang non-commissioned officer, the Turks would have paid a heavy price if they wanted to occupy Chang'an!
What's more critical is that after Qisang's personal conquest, in fact, there is a lack of people in Chang'an City who can really sit in the town, Xie Ying and Xionghe are actually difficult to take on big responsibilities, and as for Yu Wensheng, it is impossible to be loyal to the Turks.
At present, the six gates and the inner Guo are all controlled by Yu Wensheng, and the outer Guo is being attacked by the Yunzhou Department led by Wang Hengshi, even if the inner Guo is in chaos, Yu Wensheng can completely block the news, so that the outer Guo Bingyong can not return in time to help.
He was in Jingzhao Mansion, and the orders were issued one after another, first lifting the curfew of Dongnei Guo, and sending an order to invite Bawang and non-commissioned officers, and the first to arrive was of course Lu Li, He Zhan and his party, followed by Jingzhao Cui, Xue and other clansmen.
Jing Zhao Li, who was good friends with Lu Li, and even Yuan Bao and other young people, had already known in advance that there would be a change tonight, and they had even seen Lu Li in private, so naturally they raised their arms with Cui and Xue Ergong and responded to the order of King Jin, but in addition to Cui and Xue, including Jing Zhaoxiao, most of the clan elders who are really in power still have doubts.
For example, the grandfather who is gradually entering, he has not seen Xiao Jiu for many years, but his grandson suddenly returned home and lobbied to serve the king of Jin, as an orthodox, of course, Xiao Gong still has scruples in his heart, but because of his grandson's position and the imminent national disaster, of course he can't be interested in a different race at this time, although he promised to attend tonight's talks, there is still a wait-and-see attitude.
Another example is Jingzhao Yuan, the hot-blooded Yuan Bao is just one of the children, and the clan elders need to weigh too many pros and cons, and it is difficult to make a decision for a while.
The first to respond was Kyo Zhaoliu.
Although Liu Yuyi, who is the patriarch, is still in the foreign office, and the mother and son of Mrs. Wei, who are known as the prestige of the clan, are still trapped in the palace, but Jing Zhaoliu and the Jin Dynasty are in-laws, and they are inseparable from each other.
Followed by King Jingzhao, the youngest brother of Wang Huaizhun who stayed in Kyoto at this time, he had obviously received his brother's understanding in advance, in fact, he had been secretly cooperating with the actions of He Zhan, Li Youzai and others, so naturally there would be no objections at this time.
Yu Wensheng and Lu Li turned their eyes to Jing Zhaowei, but this branch is not the clan elder responsible for making decisions, of course, because Wei Yuanping, who is the head of the sect, is impossible to stay in Chang'an City, but all the young and strong generation who are in real positions have also fled eastward, and only several nephews and nephews of Mrs. Wei have been suppressed by the Empress Dowager Wei and trapped in Kyoto, but because of the fact that the sect has been obscure for many years, this generation does not have ambition at all, although they did not think about swaying, but they thought that they would support King Jin to seize the throne, immediately has to be responsible for charging into battle, this is a matter of life and death, and it is somewhat impossible to return to God.
If you don't want to, you will be preempted by Jing Zhaolu.
Rong Guogong is personally attending the invitation of Jingzhao Mansion today, to say that there is still a grudge between him and the King of Jin, his eldest grandson Lu Rui was beaten and disabled by He Ye, and he was paralyzed on the hospital bed for several years, his temper became more and more violent, he was hated by people, and he was sick again, and he was dying in the end, but such a grudge was really not as profound as the recent accident - before the imperial city, Jingzhao Lu's children were killed on the spot by Barbarian Di Bingyong, and the female relatives were raped/adulterous, such a shame is hard to eliminate, Such a sea of blood feud should not be shared!
Although the first evil Tubo general has been executed, but in the eyes of Rong Guogong, the initiator is of course the Turkic Khan, in his eyes there is no distinction between Turkic and Tubo, he can not tolerate when the alien race humiliates Jing Zhaolu, in the future, he must also bow his knees to this group of robbers, like beggars to survive, Rong Guogong back then, but to the Empress Dowager Wei can not be unapologetic, he can't let the arrogant family be humiliated in his hands, so he would rather fight against the water.
Of course, there are trade-offs in this, the Empress Dowager Wei's regime will not allow Jing Zhaolu to continue to be prominent no matter what, so it is better to support Jin Wang Ye - He Ye is the son of Dezong after all, the grandson of Empress Dowager Lu, and it will not hurt the dignity of the family if He Ye can set things right, Jing Zhaolu still has hope of continuing to be glorious, as long as He Ye wins, Jing Zhaolu will be meritorious from the dragon, and will not be branded as treason for glory, fame and fortune are worth the risk.
Therefore, Rong Guogong not only expressed his loyalty to the birth and death of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, but even took the lead, as if he had always been an unswerving ally of the King of Jin, he raised his eyebrows and asked the four surnames of Wei, Xiao, Yuan, and Li, who had not yet expressed their position: "What are you still hesitating about?" The Empress Dowager Wei, intending to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, even risked the disapproval and put the saint under house arrest, but she was greedy for life and afraid of death, and begged the Turks for peace and wagging her tail several times. His Royal Highness the King of Jin is the son of Dezong, who can come out when the monarchy is in danger, and take the ambition of expelling the barbarians and restoring the world. ”
He was excited, and slapped the sword on his waist with a "clang": "This sword, is given by Emperor Mingzong to the Jingzhao Lu family, although the old man said that he was born at the wrong time, he did not have the opportunity to fight in battle, but the ancestor of the Lu family, he also had the order of the Emperor Mingzong of the Great Zhou Dynasty to enter the phase, today the old man is willing to carry this sword, obey the order of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and lead the eight hundred sons of Jingzhao Lu, in order to recover Chang'an, expel the barbarians, and take the lead, even if the horse leather shroud, it is also the supreme glory!" ”
The big words are categorical and golden, a high-spirited style, and indeed mighty and brave.
Lu Li and He Zhan looked at each other, and both of them had a sense of inappropriate absurdity, they never thought that one day, Jing Zhaolu would be willing to "take the lead" for the King of Jin.
Jing Zhaowei came back to his senses completely, and hurriedly responded, although their role was really limited, but they still occupied a seat in the foresight, and their position was of course positive for tonight's uprising.
Jingzhao Li and Jingzhao Yuan are actually not staunch orthodox, each clan is still attached to the Wei Party, but in comparison, the Li family is still neutral, and the Yuan family is relatively speculative, I saw that tonight's situation has become the general trend, and each has a young and strong child who seems to have secretly been "involved" with Xue Xuanzhi, the representative of the Jin Dynasty.
"The barbarians invaded our capital, and His Royal Highness the King of Jin has the ambition to save the society from danger and assist the monarchy, and we are the courtiers of the Great Zhou, and we dare not obey our orders."
It is very rational to limit "loyalty" to the scope of saving the country and quelling chaos, and there is no guarantee of being a minister.
Rong Guogong was quite dissatisfied with this reserved remark, and sneered and was about to ridicule, Lu Li hurriedly interrupted and preemptively said: "Xue Mou respectfully represents the King of Jin, and I would like to thank you for your high righteousness." ”
At this moment, everyone's eyes are focused on the family that has not yet expressed its position, that is, the direction in which Jingzhao Xiao is sitting.
Xiao gradually couldn't sit still, he really didn't understand what his grandfather was still hesitating, he originally thought that his grandfather agreed to attend tonight's meeting, that is, to express his support for the incident, but counting Jing Zhaowei, eight out of ten hopes have expressed their will, but his grandfather is still silent, you must know that Jing Zhaoxiao is Jing Zhaoliu's in-laws, and he is also a family of relatives and friends of His Royal Highness King Jin, but he hesitated at a critical moment, so why didn't he get anxious?
It's no wonder that he can't understand Xiao Gong's mentality, he has been away from home for a long time, how do he know that his grandfather turned out to be a stubborn orthodox - although he was forced by the family to run away from marriage, he thought that everything was too utilitarian for his father, and his grandfather just didn't like Eleven Niang Nai, because his grandfather, after all, did not force him to marry Mao Wei's family, and his granddaughter-in-law was Liu Xiaojiu, the daughter born to his aunt.
He was about to urge, but Xiao Gong finally spoke.
"Xue Shaoyin, the old man has a question, I don't know if His Royal Highness the King of Jin will be willing to welcome the saint back to Beijing and help the saint to govern after recovering Chang'an?"
He Zhan couldn't cry or laugh, and Xiao was even more dumbfounded.
In the urgent situation, Xiao Gong even made such a request in public, did he still have to reason with him when the fire was imminent, what is royal justice?
