Chapter 343: The Wind Rises and the Clouds Fly (I)
In the Qin family, a cook yawned, sat up slowly from the bed, and kicked the guy lying on the bed while fumbling to fasten the buttons of her clothes.
"Get up and pour the night incense!"
The man turned over and ignored her, and the cook snorted, got up, lit the lantern, and opened the door.
The faint light of the lantern shone on the figures in front of them, and in the backyard of the Qin Mansion, there were six hundred dead soldiers with long knives, standing quietly, like statues.
"Ahh
A sufficiently shrill exclamation kicked off this bloody day.
In the southern city of Zhongjing, in one of Lu Yi's courtyards, there were also three hundred silent dead soldiers.
Quietly waiting for the dawn, waiting for life to take off or end.
The Yamen of the Central Protector Army, Yue Pingwu, the general of the Central Protector Army, was wearing armor and holding a snowy spear in his hand, facing the gate and standing proudly.
Behind him were a thousand loyal sergeants.
Although they were not armoured, the wind of the battlefield was already blowing in their faces.
Yue Pingwu looked at the dark night in front of him and remembered what he had said to Xia Jingyun's envoy when he was formulating the final plan.
"Why don't you start it at night?"
"We are upright teachers, so we have to fight a dignified battle, avenge a dignified revenge, and return the world to a dignified and upright one!"
It's good.
He loved it.
He shook the barrel of the gun in his hand and stood solemnly.
Shang Zhicheng sat in the door of the mansion, put on armor, held a snow-white cloth, and gently wiped the sword in his hand.
His movements were slow, as if he were not holding a sword as solid as stone, but a time that had passed away and never returned.
Your Majesty, if you treat me as a soldier, I will repay you as a soldier.
May you have a spirit in heaven, bless us and others, and succeed today!
When the light of dawn shone the first rays of light on the horizon, three figures walked towards the palace gate.
The soldiers on duty recognized this big red man in front of His Majesty, and they didn't dare to offend, so they laughed together, "Real person, why did you enter the palace so early today?" ”
Taiyi Zhenren said lightly: "Your Majesty has an edict, and the poor way should be obeyed." ”
"Okay! Open the door! ”
"Wait!"
Just as the guard on duty was ordering the door to open, the new commander of the forbidden army, Ling Hujian, came to the city tower, overlooked the bottom, and shouted in a deep voice, "Your Majesty summoned, do you have a will?" ”
Taiyi Zhenren was not in a hurry, "What was agreed with Your Majesty yesterday is only a verbal message, not a will." ”
Ling Fox Sword snorted coldly, "In extraordinary times, there is no will."
His words were abrupt, because from the hand of a Taoist boy behind Taiyi Zhenren, a gold medal was handed out.
The team on the side also helped to slap his face and said: "Commander, this is the palace forbidden gold medal given by His Majesty, with this gold medal, you can enter and leave the palace city freely, and no one can stop you." That's just a routine inquiry. ”
Ling Fox Sword glared at the team coldly, and turned to leave silently.
The team is smiling, "Real people, please!" ”
"There is labor!"
Taiyi Zhenren nodded with a smile, and then took the two Taoist children into the palace gate.
After coming more than a dozen times, he was already familiar with the road, and he walked directly with people forward, and when he came to a slightly remote place, he slowly stopped.
A Taoist boy behind him actually spoke: "Real person, let's go here." ”
Taiyi Zhenren hurriedly smiled and said, "You are polite, you are familiar with this place, just look at it." ”
The "Dao Tong" arched his hand, showing a bit of perseverance, "Real person, let's see you later!" Today, it's done! ”
Taiyi Zhenren also nodded and said, "Take care!" ”
After speaking, the "Dao Tong" walked quickly and skillfully disappeared between the layers of the palace, like a fish entering the water.
Taiyi Zhenren turned his head to look at his boy, "Are you afraid?" ”
"Sort of."
"Don't panic, as always, everything has its own teacher. Today's success, you and I are really jumping into the dragon gate. ”
"Master, now that Your Majesty is so trusted, wouldn't it be better to vote for him directly?"
"You, I don't know how powerful some people are, and the emperor in front of you can't do it for long. Okay, stop talking, let's go. ”
After they walked quickly to a hall, arranged everything, and sat for a while, Dongfang Ming walked in under Dong Liang's escort with sleepy eyes.
Taiyi Zhenren got up with a smile, "How was Your Majesty's energy last night?" ”
Dongfang Ming sat down, "The front is okay, but after nightfall, I feel tired." ”
"That's right."
Taiyi Zhenren said with a smile: "If it were an ordinary person, he should have stuck to the Jingguan in order to raise the true yuan, but His Majesty has the mandate of heaven and has the responsibility of spreading the branches and leaves, so the poor Dao has not discussed with His Majesty here, but now the secret technique is only a small success, and it is not strong enough, so after a night, it can be rebuilt immediately to achieve the effect of breaking and standing up." It's like a martial artist refining his body, first accumulating and then accumulating, first breaking and then standing, and repeatedly tempering, so that King Kong is not bad, and ten thousand laws are not violated. ”
Dongfang Ming nodded again and again when he heard this, "It's really hard work." ”
"It is the honor of the poor way to serve a person of destiny like Your Majesty, and it is also the great trust of the master."
Taiyi Zhenren said modestly, and continued: "However, today's transmission is not the same as in the past, and it must not be disturbed. ”
Dongfang Ming nodded, turned his head and said to Dong Liang: "Go and tell the guards outside the door, if it is not my order, no one is allowed to disturb it, and those who violate the order will be immediately killed!" ”
Dong Liang immediately went out and ordered loudly, and Taiyi Zhenren said with a smile: "Then please Your Majesty get ready, let's start now!" ”
In the palace, Wang De walked briskly, the glory that once stood at the top of the inner servants was gone, and now he was just an old thing that was bullied by others.
At this time, he still has to serve a young man who has just gained power, that Dong Liang's real righteous son now, what he likes to do the most is to let these old things that he used to look up to nod and bow in front of him, and if he goes late, he will be whipped!
As he was walking briskly, a figure suddenly burst out of the spur and dragged him around a corner.
"Who!"
"Third brother! It's me! ”
"Jin, how did you get in!" Looking at Jin Zhong, who was dressed in Taoist clothes, Wang De's face changed suddenly, and he immediately said: "Before I found you, hurry up!" ”
Jin Zhong shook his head, "Third brother, I came back today to bring you good news!" How is his father-in-law? ”
Wang De shook his head, "The legs and feet have been beaten to the bone, but the person is quite sober." ”
A trace of bitter hatred and ruthlessness flashed in Jin Zhong's eyes, "All the hatred, let's take our time!" ”
He whispered a few words in Wang De's ear, Wang De's eyes widened when he heard it, but in the end it turned into excitement and excitement, "Really? ”
"Really!" Jin Zhong nodded heavily.
"Good! I know a lot of old stuff like us, let's go! Let's do something big today! ”
"Good! The third brother is really a good man! ”
The two of them hurried away and disappeared into the vast group of temples.
——
In the courtyard, Xia Jingyun stood in front of the steps with Dongfang Bai's hand, looking up at the sky.
Lu Yi said softly on the side: "It's time." ”
The light on the horizon could already make Xia Jingyun see the figure in front of him clearly, and he said in a deep voice: "Everyone! The crown prince killed the king, it was a great rebellion, and we and the people of Daxia should discuss it together! ”
"If we win today, the king of Jiaodong and I will live up to you!"
"Arrows on the bow, not much to say, today! Win! ”
Three hundred people roared in unison, "We will win!" ”
At the same time, in the backyard of the Qin family, the old master of the Qin family stood on a chair, "You are all good sons and daughters of my Qin family, good warriors!" The crown prince killed the king and usurped the throne, caused chaos in the palace, rebelled, incorruptible and shameful, and the people of the world should fight it together! Although the Qin family is rich, in the face of power, these generations of wealth can be taken by people in a word. Today's fight is both for righteousness and self-interest! ”
"Today's thing is done, the foundation of the Qin family will continue for another hundred years, you are not only the heroes of the dynasty, but also the heroes of my Qin family!"
Six hundred people stood in unison, shouting in unison, "I am willing to die for the Qin family!" ”
In the camp of the Central Protector Army, Yue Pingwu directly raised his spear, "Gentlemen! Avenge Your Majesty! Loyal to the country! Today! May you die with me! ”
"May I follow the general!"
The roar of a thousand people rang out in unison.
The officials and people of Zhongjing City were startled by the huge shouts that sounded almost at the same time.
The voice is like a dragon's roar, like a tiger's roar, like a wolf's howl!
It's creepy and blood-boiling.
Then, a neat footstep passed through the streets and alleys of Nancheng, and a neat and solemn procession rushed onto the main road, and there were three people standing on a chariot-like carriage that was the leader.
Xia Jingyun held the railing in front of him with one hand and Dongfang Bai firmly with the other.
Dongfang Bai pursed his lips, his face was resolute, and his eyes were staring at the front.
Lu Yi held a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, looking at his surroundings vigilantly and solemnly.
Before the inhabitants could see it, the team rushed murderously along the main road to the north.
Coming to Lion Heng Street, that is, the crossroads of the entire Zhongjing, from the Xicheng, six hundred dead soldiers of the Qin family joined the team.
When both sides saw each other, they both had more confidence in today's events.
The team gathered into a team of thousands, but it suddenly turned in the direction and rushed towards the arsenal of the East City.
And a little before everyone converged, in the yamen of the central guard army in Dongcheng, Yue Pingwu rushed out on horseback, followed by a thousand elites who slaughtered.
Without any delay, they rushed directly to the Yamen of the Arsenal Division two streets away.
Outside the yamen of the Arsenal Division, the Arsenal Division hurriedly put on his armor and came out.
Standing on the gatehouse, looking at Yue Pingwu below, he was dumbfounded, "General, you. What are you? ”
Yue Pingwu said in a deep voice: "The prince kills the king!" The world is asking for it! Tu Youzhi! If there is no grace of the first emperor, how can you and me be today! In public and private, open the door, and follow the king of Jiaodong County to set things right! ”
Beads of sweat the size of beans oozed from the forehead of the Arsenal Sicheng, all of which were the wine he drank in Yue's Mansion that night.
Yue Pingwu's words that day were still in his ears, but he wanted him to rebel against the person sitting on the dragon chair now!
The word rebellion can be said with a touch of the mouth, but if you want to do it, you have to have a few heads!
Yue Pingwuhu's eyes were blazing, staring at this person who he was quite optimistic about, and his hand holding the gun quietly tightened, ready to shoot the gun if something was wrong.
"Open the door!"
The words of Arsenal Sicheng gritted his teeth and opened his mouth made this coup take a solid first step.
Although a strong attack can be completely captured, but one more moment of delay, one more moment of change, to be able to take the arsenal so bloodlessly is the most ideal result!
Yue Pingwu waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him poured in like a tide, arming himself while moving all the reserves in the arsenal out.
And at this moment, Xia Jingyun and Dongfang Bai, with more than a thousand dead soldiers, also rushed to the arsenal.
Yue Pingwu immediately stepped forward and knelt on one knee, "Meet the King of Jiaodong County!" ”
Dongfang Bai's childish voice was already a little calm, "General Yue, please get up, it's hard work!" ”
Xia Jingyun waved his hand to arm all the dead soldiers behind him, and looked at Yue Pingwu, "General Yue, without further ado, there should be an immediate reaction in the city, please form a team first, join me with the Shang Commander, enter the palace first, and the follow-up troops will follow one after another!" ”
Yue Pingwu immediately responded in a deep voice.
Soon, an elite of more than 500 people rushed straight to Donghua Gate under the leadership of Yue Pingwu, Xia Jingyun and others.
Outside the Donghua Gate, Shang Zhicheng has been waiting for a long time! ——
Such a huge movement shocked everyone everywhere they passed.
A figure rushed to the Jingzhao Mansion, grabbed the drumstick at the door directly, and slammed the Dengwen drum.
The two officials opened the door and scolded impatiently: "What are you doing! I haven't been to the government yet! ”
The man hurriedly shouted, "There is a rebellion in the city!" There is a rebellion in the city! ”
Soon, Han Xueming, who still had a little gruel hanging on his beard, got the report and hurried out, "What did you say?" Make it clear, who rebelled! ”
"My lord, the little one saw Xia Langzhong and the king of Jiaodong County with a lot of armies and killed them in the palace!"
After hearing this, Han Xueming rushed forward and grabbed the clothes of the person who came, "Such a big thing, if you talk nonsense, you will be punished by the nine clans!" ”
"Adults, the little ones have seen it with their own eyes, and they can't fake it!"
Han Xueming put his hand down and said in a deep voice: "Sort out all the soldiers in the yamen who can fight!" Grab all the weapons you can use and get ready to go! ”
"Your Excellency!"
At this moment, Xing Shigu, the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, walked slowly and looked at him calmly, "My lord, you said that you killed the monarch, but right?" ”
Han Xueming looked at the man in front of him, shook his head and said, "But this matter is still inconclusive." ”
"Is it still inconclusive, or is it that the Manchu ministers dare not reach a conclusion and are unwilling to make a conclusion for the sake of personal interests and power?"
Xing Shigu's tone suddenly increased, "If you think that you should maintain the people on the dragon chair at this moment because of the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, then even if the first emperor was not in a thousand ways, he was the king, I was the minister, and the first emperor died without knowing it, how can we accept it calmly because we know the righteousness of the monarch and the minister!" Today, the king of Jiaodong County has set things right, just when my generation is helping together, we will work together and sacrifice ourselves to thank Junen, do you say yes or no? ”
Han Xueming looked at him, "Xia Jingyun really went back to the capital?" ”
Xing Shigu opened his mouth and said: "Personally risk the arrow stone and rush to the front of the killing array!" ”
Han Xueming was silent.
Xing Shigu looked at the team in the yamen that had already completed the whole team, and shouted violently, "Everyone, the palace has been approved, follow me into the palace and avenge the first emperor!" ”
Han Xueming was stunned for a moment, and immediately knew that he had been set up by Xing Shigu, so he had to sigh, gritted his teeth and spoke, "Avenge the first emperor!" Everyone, come with me to help the king of Jiaodong County! ”
——
In Xicheng, Shangshu of the Criminal Department just left the mansion in a sedan chair.
Humming a little song gently, leisurely reminiscing about the beautiful concubine in Xinna's room last night, I suddenly heard a commotion outside the sedan chair.
"My lord, my lord, oh no! The Qin family rushed out of a few hundred people, and under the leadership of Fengyang Gong, something happened! ”
"What?"
Shangshu's face changed in the Criminal Department, "Quick!" Go to the Yamen now! ”
Then he didn't forget to open the sedan curtain and instruct his personal followers, "You ride quickly, go to the yamen first, gather all the people and horses in the yamen, and when I arrive, immediately set off to quell the rebellion!" ”
As the hardcore of the British duke, and as a vested interest in the crown prince's murder of the monarch, he must fight to the death with such people who dare to break the current political pattern!
The sedan chair man ran up directly, and soon came to the yamen of the criminal department with him!
Because he was too excited, he fell a dog and ate when he got out of the sedan chair, but he couldn't care so much, and rushed towards the yamen quickly.
"Damn, what about the people I asked you to assemble? At this time, you dare to steal and play tricks, don't die"
rushed to the gate of the yamen and didn't see the team, and Shang Shuden of the Criminal Department scolded loudly, but when he turned the shadow wall, the words stopped abruptly.
I saw two people sitting in the lobby.
Prime Minister Wan Wenbi, Ministry of Officials Yang Weiguang.
And his entourage, as well as a few hardcore cronies in the yamen, have all been arrested at this moment and pressed to the ground with flowers.
Wan Wenbi said coldly: "Xu Bishan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is corrupt and perverts the law, and the corpse is vegetarian, so he will be removed from his post as the secretary of the Criminal Department, and he will be escorted down to wait for his fate!" ”
"Wan Wenbi! This official is the secretary of the Criminal Department, and only the Son of Heaven has the right to dispose of it! ”
"That's right, so let the Son of Heaven deal with you!" Wan Wenbi smiled faintly, "It's just that, the new son of heaven." ”
Shangshu's face changed again, "Wait for the mess!" ”
A rag was stuffed directly into his mouth, and the majestic Shangshu of the Criminal Department could only struggle and squirm powerlessly on the ground at this moment!
Wan Wenbi and Yang Weiguang glanced at each other and looked at Miyagi with deep eyes.
What they can do has been done, now it's up to Xia Jingyun to do what they can do.
The forbidden army, the black ice platform, the black cavalry, the patrol battalion, can they do it?
——
Jingzhao Mansion and the Criminal Department were all alarmed, and the patrol battalion in charge of the defense of the Jingshi City was naturally no exception.
A fast horse galloped to the outside of the patrol camp, the rider turned over and dismounted, galloped into the door and shouted, "Quick report commander, Yue Pingwu, the general of the Central Protector Army, rebelled, and led the troops to capture the arsenal!" ”
After eating too much wine last night, Yang Yinghui, who had just gotten up, ran out directly without getting dressed neatly, with a panicked face, "What did you say?" ”
"Yue Pingwu, the general of the Central Protector Army, rebelled and led his troops to capture the arsenal, but the Arsenal Division did not resist, and directly opened the door to surrender to the enemy!"
Yang Yinghui's face changed suddenly, and he roared directly: "Gather troops!" Quell the rebellion with Ben! ”
The soldiers under the tent immediately took action, and Yang Yinghui immediately returned to the room and put on his armor.
When he picked up his cold iron gun and walked out of the door, he saw his men looking out of the door one by one as if they were facing a great enemy.
"Did you all fucking lose your eggs?"
"Look, Commander!"
A pro-soldier stretched out his hand and pointed ahead.
I saw that on the avenue ahead, a peerless, calm and elegant woman, escorted by a strong man in armor, walked slowly.
Yang Yinghui narrowed his eyes, his face suddenly changed, and he became shocked, "Concubine De? ”
Concubine De, who had been searched in Beijing for several days by the patrol battalion, Jingzhao Mansion, Heibing Tai and the officials of the Criminal Department, appeared in front of him like this?
"General Yang."
"Concubine De, if you appear like this, you can only offend in the end."
He waved his hand slightly, and his subordinates surrounded Concubine De and Chen Fugui.
Concubine De's expression was calm, and she didn't see the slightest panic, "General Yang still remembers that in the summer of the twentieth year of Chongning, Ling Gongzi injured the prince of Luyang and was imprisoned?" ”
Yang Yinghui frowned, not knowing what Concubine De's intention was in talking about these old things at this time.
"Mother, if you want to stall for time, then you have to think too much."
Concubine De looked at Yang Yinghui calmly, "At that time, the King of Luyang was furious, and the Criminal Department had already asked the Central Committee and His Majesty for an order to send General Yang to prison and send him to his house. But two days later, the matter suddenly disappeared like a cloud of smoke in the sky. Do you know why? ”
Yang Yinghui did have doubts about this matter in his heart, but as he was promoted to the commander of this extremely authoritative patrol battalion, he confirmed the trust of the first emperor, and he temporarily put it behind him.
Concubine De didn't hang his appetite, and said slowly: "Because that's what this palace is asking for you." Afterwards, His Majesty gave you a famous gun from the arsenal, which is the one in your hand, which was personally selected by the palace for you, and the name of the gun is with you. There are two inscriptions in the middle of the gun, which are the word Suiyun. ”
Yang Yinghui's heart was shocked, and he looked at Concubine De in disbelief, because what Concubine De said was true, and this gun did have these two words on it.
And these two words do carry a different kind of hint.
Concubine De said: "This palace has saved your family's life and saved your career, but I have never asked you for anything, and today I beg you to watch from the wall." The crown prince has no virtue, and the king is on the throne, and the world knows that what we are doing today is just to set things right and avenge Your Majesty. You are deeply favored by Your Majesty, under the general trend of the day, it is understandable to spare your life for the time being, and today's events, shouldn't you give back? ”
Yang Yinghui was silent, entangled in his heart.
What Concubine De said, even if it is true, does not have much impact on his choice, and everyone has long lost much humanity when they get into this position.
However, what he had to consider was that Concubine De dared to come alone, how sure were they?
He just won Concubine De and didn't win the king of Jiaodong County, which couldn't play much role, but if the king of Jiaodong County really ascended the throne, he would be doomed if he made a mistake in this step!
At this moment, a cold drink came from the side, "Quickly take down Concubine De!" Enter the palace to escort! ”
The two lieutenants came together and shouted loudly.
Xiao Fengshan and the British duke's backhand is here!
The scene became tense, and Chen Fugui dodged, holding the spear horizontally, as if facing a great enemy.
"Yang Yinghui! You don't do it yet! It's going to be a rebellion! ”
The two lieutenant generals also had a lot of soldiers behind them, but those present were all Yang Yinghui's direct personal soldiers, and they didn't get the commander's order, so they didn't move, but because of the previous encirclement, they accidentally protected Concubine De.
In this stalemate, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Feng Xiuyun lay on the horse's back, her hair was messy, and her face was covered with blood.
"Niangniang, the commander of Shang has opened the palace gate, the forbidden army has been subdued, and Miyagi has succeeded, please return to the palace as soon as possible and help His Highness ascend the throne!"
Chen Fugui immediately made a gesture to rush out with Concubine De.
And the face of the deputy general left by Xiao Fengshan changed greatly, and he immediately jumped up from the horse directly and slashed towards Concubine De!
Chen Fugui was already on guard, his heels swirled on the ground, his waist twisted, and the spear in his hand was like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, like a shot back from a horse, and accurately pierced the general's abdomen.
The tip of the knife slashed three inches in front of him, and Chen Fugui's face did not change.
"Thief dares!"
Another lieutenant shouted, but a spear was like a streamer, with great force, piercing him directly and falling off his horse.
Yang Yinghui threw a spear, stepped forward, killed the other party with one shot, came to Concubine De, knelt on one knee, "I am willing to die for my mother!" (End of chapter)
