Chapter 846, the conspiracy is revealed
The Khitans believed in Buddhism from top to bottom, and Yehu Hugo was especially strong. Shortly after he usurped the throne as empress, he made the largest expansion of the Great Buddha Temple in history. Today's Big Buddha Temple is located on the Long Live Mountain, reflecting the sun, golden and brilliant, even people dozens of miles away can also see the golden top that shines with golden light, so the folk also call the Big Buddha Temple Jinguang Temple.
After listening to Zhang Chang's words, he only felt that going to Jinshan Temple to make incense was the only chance for those rebellious pioneers, and sneered: "They want to start at that time, so I will lay a net at that time, just waiting for them to come." Zhang Chang hurriedly bowed: "Your Majesty is wise." ”
After thinking about it, he immediately returned to the back of the bookcase, wrote several orders for the transfer of troops, called the guard, gave the order to the guard, and ordered him to pass it on to the generals in the military camp outside the city at once.
In the middle of the night, Shangjing had already fallen asleep. A huge city is silent, except for the sound of the husband and the occasional dog barking, there is no sound at all, the night is quiet, completely different from the lively scene of Bianliang, the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
At this moment, an ironclad infantry of nearly 10,000 people came to the city gate, and after the city gate was given a command, the city gate was immediately opened. 10,000 ironclad infantry quickly marched into the city gates. Soon the heavens and the earth fell silent again, as if nothing had happened.
Although Brother Yahu judged that those rebellions would make trouble when he went to the Great Buddha Temple, this was only speculation after all, whether the other party would really do it at that time, and even whether there were these so-called rebellions was uncertain. However, these uncertainties did not affect the arrangement of Yerhu Hugo, and for him, it was better to believe it than to believe it.
Yaysukio made arrangements every night, and he secretly placed 10,000 ironclad infantry along the road from the palace to the Great Buddha Temple. During the day, the people still came and went as usual, but they didn't know that there were 10,000 ironclad soldiers lurking on the road from the palace to Banzai Mountain.
At the same time that Brother Ye Hugh was arranging, Zhang Chang was not idle. Eager to prove his ability to his master, he sent his doglegs every day to sneak into the streets and alleys, taverns and tea shops to find out any suspicious clues. Just when Zhang Chang racked his brains to find clues of rebellion, a big gift fell from the sky and smashed heavily on his head. Zhang Chang was looking for it, but the rebellion he was looking for was actually sent to the door by himself.
At noon that day, just as Zhang Chang was about to leave the official office and return to his home, a staff member hurriedly rushed in and reported: "My lord, someone came from outside, saying that he wanted to report the rebellion to my lordship. ”
Zhang Chang was investigating this matter, and when he heard it, he couldn't help but be surprised, and immediately ordered his staff to bring him in. The staff responded and ran down, and a moment later led in a young man with dark skin, a strong body, and a simple expression.
The staff shouted at the young man; "When you see the Prime Minister, you don't salute!" The young man immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "The villain greets the Prime Minister!" Zhang Chang said: "Raise your head." The young man raised his head and looked at Zhang Chang. Zhang Chang asked, "Who are you?" How do you know about rebellion? The young man said, "The small one is a small captain under General Barron." ......" Zhang Chang raised his right hand and said, "Wait!" You said you were the squad leader under General Barron, what proof do you have? ”
The young man thought for a while, and hurriedly took out a letter from his bosom, presented it with both hands: "This is the handwritten letter that General Barron ordered me to hand over to General Huba. ”
The staff immediately accepted the letter and forwarded it to Zhang Chang. Zhang Chang hurriedly took the letter and opened it and read it, then nodded and said: "This is General Barron's handwriting, as well as his seal, it can't be wrong!" Then he asked puzzledly: "Who is this Tiger Eight General?" "Back to the Prime Minister's words, General Tiger Eight is his subordinate boss, and he is General Barron's most trusted subordinate." Zhang Chang thinks that there are countless lieutenant generals in the army, and it is normal that he has not heard of this tiger eight. Then he looked down at the letter again, couldn't help frowning, and muttered: "Look at the meaning of this letter, you want this Tiger Eight to be responsible for the entire assassination operation!" They really chose to do it when His Majesty went to the Great Buddha Temple to make incense, and my guess was completely correct! ”
Seeing that his speculation had been confirmed, Zhang Chang couldn't help but feel very proud, and felt that if this letter was presented to His Majesty, His Majesty would definitely look at him even more differently. Immediately, a question came to his mind, and he asked the young man, "Why did you come to denounce your general?" ”
The young man said very honestly: "Villain, villain is very stupid, but, but he knows that this is, this is the sin of killing the head!" The villain, the villain is afraid that he will not die well afterwards, so, so ......"
Zhang Chang snorted and said angrily: "You can't die well after anything, you won't die well when you do this!" The young man was so frightened that he knelt down with a thud, kowtowed and begged for mercy, "My lord, spare your life!" Spare your life! Zhang Chang looked at this young man, and there was no doubt in his heart about everything he reported, one was because of this letter, and the other was such a simple and cowardly young man, if he could lie, I am afraid that pigs would go up the tree.
Zhang Changwen said gently: "You don't have to be afraid. Since you have reported them, not only are you innocent but meritorious, not only will you not accept the sin, but Your Majesty will definitely reward you greatly! ”
When the young man heard that there was a reward, he couldn't help but get excited, and hurriedly asked, "My lord, will Your Majesty really reward me?" Zhang Chang smiled and nodded, and then said, "You immediately follow me into the palace and meet Your Majesty!" ”
When the young man heard that he was going to see His Majesty the Emperor, he became nervous again. Zhang Chang smiled: "You don't have to be afraid. Tell your majesty everything you have said to me again, and your majesty will reward you heavily! The nervous look on the young man's face was immediately replaced by excitement. Zhang Chang saw the change in his expression, and smiled secretly in his heart, only feeling that these small people who were promoted to the top were really not on the stage.
Soon after, Zhang Chang took him to the palace and met Brother Ye. After the visit, Zhang Chang submitted the letter, and after reading it, Brother Ye Hugh was furious and scolded angrily: "Baron, he is looking for death!" Then he looked at Zhang Chang and asked puzzledly, "How did you get this letter?" ”
Zhang Chang immediately pointed to the young man next to him and said, "Your Majesty, this person is the messenger sent by Barron. However, he was photographed by His Majesty Tianwei and took the initiative to come to the minister's official office to report this misdeeds. ”
Jerehugo looked at the young man and asked, "Are you Barron's messenger?" Then why did you denounce him? ”
The young man knelt down with a thud, kowtowed, and said, "Villain, villain is afraid, afraid of death!" ”
Brother Ye Hugh was stunned for a moment, laughed, and nodded: "Very good!" You're pretty self-aware! ”
The young man hurriedly begged: "Please, beg Your Majesty to spare the villain's life!" ”
Brother Ye Hugh said: "You have made great contributions, and I have always had clear rewards and punishments. Not only will you not die, but I will reward you heavily, so I will reward you as a commander to do it. The young man was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed his head in thanks. Brother Ye and Zhang Chang glanced at each other and smiled.
Yehu Hugo asked, "Where are that Tiger Eight and his men?" ”
The young man said, "I don't know. General Barron simply asked the villain to put the letter under the stone lion at the gate of the Prancing Horse Inn in the west of the city. ”
Brother Ye Hugh snorted and scolded: "These rebels are very cautious in doing things! He looked at the letter in his hand, handed it to the young man, and said, "Since Barron wants you to put the letter under the stone lion of the Prancing Horse Inn, you can do it." The young man was startled, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Villain, villain will never dare!" ”
Brother Ye Hugh smiled: "You don't have to be afraid, this is my strategy, just do what I say." When the young man heard this, he looked unaware of what was going on, and stretched out his hands to take the letter. Jerehugo commanded, "Will they contact you after you put down your letter?" The young man said, "General Barron said that if General Tiger Eight had something to inform him of, he would also put the letter under the stone lion. Jerehugo nodded, "Then you can do it." You will stay at the Prancing Horse Inn," and then said to Zhang Chang: "You send a few people to live in the Prancing Horse Inn." Zhang Chang bowed and promised. Then he said to the young man, "If you have any news, tell the prime minister's people in the inn, understand?" The young man nodded.
He said, "Go down, all of you." Zhang Chang and the young man hurriedly bowed to Jin Wushu and retreated.
Soon after, Zhang Chang came back and bowed with joy on his face: "Your Majesty is the Lord of Heaven, so God helps Your Majesty!" ”
Brother Hume laughed and said, "Those rebels want to ambush me on the way to the incense, I can already expect it, even if there is no such person to tell the truth, everything is under control. Zhang Chang hurriedly agreed, only saying that His Majesty's wisdom and martial arts were far superior to Tang Sect and Song Ancestor. Brother Hume laughed and patted Zhang Chang on the shoulder. Zhang Changdeng felt very flattered, and the 36,000 pores on his body were extremely cool.
"You must send a reliable spirit-stirring man to wait outside the Prancing Horse Inn, and if you find someone who has taken the letter, send someone to follow you immediately!" If you find the other party's lair, don't startle the snakes, and when they ambush me, the other team will raid their lair, be sure to catch them all! Zhang Chang bowed down and promised, inevitably another flattery. Brother Hugh laughed and told Zhang Chang to go to work. Zhang Chang hurriedly agreed and hurried down.
Early the next morning, Zhang Chang came to report to Ye Hugo: "Your Majesty, the person sent to monitor last night really saw someone coming to the gate of the Prancing Horse Inn to get the letter. ......" Yey's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Where are they staying?" Zhang Chang looked embarrassed and said, "Our people are lost." ”
Annoyed, he scolded, "It's useless! ”
Zhang Chang's heart sank, and he hurriedly explained: "The other party is too cunning, wandering around in the small alley, and my people dare not get too close for fear of arousing the other party's vigilance, so they lost the other party in the small alley of the Doli Horse Mansion in Xicheng." ”
Yehu Hugo frowned, "You said your people were lost in the alley near the Doli Horse Mansion?" ”
Zhang Chang nodded, "Yes."
Brother Yelu frowned and said, "This Doli colt, I remember that his sister became the concubine of Yeri Tiger City. Zhang Chang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "What does Your Majesty mean ......?" Brother Ye Hugh sneered and said, "How can things be so coincidental! The place where the rebellion disappeared was actually near the Dori Mansion! Is this just a coincidence? Dolli is definitely inseparable! Zhang Chang immediately echoed: "Your Majesty is wise, it must be so!" Nine times out of ten, the Pony Mansion is the nest of those rebellious people who came to Beijing to seek rebellion! Yehu Hugo immediately commanded: "You send your subordinates and city guards to get ready." On the day of the incense, the secret siege of the Horse Mansion was born, just wait for the sound of killing on my side, you will do it immediately, and the people of the Horse Mansion must not get away with one! If there is a mistake, you are the only one who asks! Zhang Chang said confidently: "Your Majesty can rest assured, the minister guarantees that nothing goes wrong!" ”
Before I knew it, it was time for Brother Hugh to enter the incense. Early in the morning, a huge procession composed of guards, palace maids, eunuchs, and Manchu civil and military personnel left the palace and marched straight to the Great Buddha Temple on Banzai Mountain. Along the way, I saw a sea of people, and the people came to see the excitement.
The streets were crowded with people, and the people had a rare opportunity to see the emperor and the emperor's harem concubines, how could they not rush to be the first? However, at this time, a group of troops looking like guards of the Liao court came to the gate of the palace.
The guards in charge of guarding the palace gate saw a group of soldiers and horses who did not know coming, and immediately stepped forward to stop them. glanced at the visitor, frowned; "Are you court guards? Why don't I know any of them? ”
The burly and fierce general in the lead said angrily: "What are you, can you know Lao Tzu?" "The guard saw that he was wearing the armor of the palace guard general, and his momentum was a lot shorter, so he hurriedly saluted and said;" Forgive me, the general, where the duty lies, the villain has to ask. ”
The general said: "Lao Tzu is the newly promoted guard general of His Majesty, and he has come to strengthen the palace garrison, you all get out of the way of Lao Tzu!" :”
The guard stubbornly said, "General, forgive me." Since the general is the newly appointed guard general appointed by His Majesty, please show your Majesty's letter of appointment. ”
"Fuck, you're not cowardly!"
"I beg your pardon, General!"
The general did not continue to attack, stretched out his hand into his arms and said, "This is Lao Tzu's mandate." With that, he walked over to the guard. The guard only waited for him to take out the letter of appointment, and suddenly there was a cold light in front of him, and before he could react, he only felt a cold pass through his chest, and then he didn't know anything. At the same time, the general's subordinates also acted together, and the dozens of guards near the palace gate were all killed in an instant, and they didn't even shout. It turned out that when the general was talking to the guard just now, the general's subordinates had already surrounded him without a trace, and the general's move was a signal, and his subordinates immediately started together, and the guards did not expect that these comrades would suddenly kill them, and they had no room to resist when they were caught off guard, and they were all taken care of in an instant.
The general immediately said to one person: "You take people to guard the palace gate and wait for me to come back." The man clenched his fists in agreement. The general led most of his men into the palace gate.
More than two hundred people quickly rushed towards the harem. The palace was empty, and there were hardly any guards, because today was the day when Yehu Hugo went to the incense, and the harem concubines and the emperor all went to the incense, so most of the guards left the palace. The guards standing guard sporadically and the eunuchs and palace maids who stayed behind in the palace saw more than 200 guards hurrying in the direction of the rear attack, and thought that they were on the emperor's orders, but no one dared to come up to inquire and block them. More than 200 people drove straight into the harem.
The general said to one person beside him: "Separate actions, you will go to the palace gate immediately after you rescue the concubine." The man answered his promise and immediately led half of his men to leave.
At this moment, a huge fighting sound suddenly came from in the distance. Everyone couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly followed the sound, and saw that the direction from which the killing sound came turned out to be Banzai Mountain. One said: "It's in the direction of Banzai Mountain!" The general frowned and muttered, "How can someone really ambush Yehu Hugo halfway?" Randomly said to his subordinates: "That's none of our business!" Let's hurry up and finish the mission and evacuate immediately! Then the two hundred or so men were divided into two parts, and the general led a hundred or so people straight to the palace where the king was under house arrest, and the other hundred or so went straight to the palace where the mother of Ya Yu Guanyin was under house arrest.
The general and his men hurried to the palace where the king was under house arrest, and the five or six guards guarding the door were surprised to see a large group of guards coming, and immediately stopped them.
The general rarely talked nonsense with them, and with a wave of his hand, a dozen people rushed up, controlled all the five or six guards, and gagged their mouths with sackcloth, while the general led the others straight in. The guards did not know what to do, and when they saw such a scene, they could only feel shocked, and they could not figure out what was happening.
Wang Jun sat in front of the dresser and looked at himself in the mirror without makeup in a daze. At that moment, the door was suddenly slammed open, and a jumble of footsteps poured in. Wang Jun came back to his senses, frowned, and the personal palace maid next to him exclaimed; "They, they ......" Wang Jun heard the sound of footsteps all the way to his back, and couldn't help but speculate in his heart. Turning around, he saw a large group of palace guards entering, and he couldn't help but be terrified, but he pretended to be calm and asked; "You are so bold, you dare to trespass into the mourning palace!"
The general and all his men fell down on one knee. Wang Jun originally thought that it would definitely not be a good thing, but he didn't expect them to retreat, and he only felt inexplicable for a while. I only heard the general say: "Subordinate Tong Lei, the official worships Daming Huaxu Zuo, and he is specially ordered by His Majesty to come to rescue Niangniang!" Mother, come with us! ”
Wang Jun showed a look of disbelief, and then infinite surprise surged into his face, and he said excitedly: "You, you are, are you the people he sent?" ”
Tong Lei responded and urged: "Niangniang, we don't have much time, if there is anything you need to take away, please clean up quickly, we have to leave within a stick of incense!" ”
Wang Jun stood up, glanced at everything in the room, looked disgusted, and said, "There is nothing I want to take away. Just my handmaid will follow me. Then he glanced at Tong Lei and said, "You said that he sent it, what is the basis?" "Tong Lei Dao;" His Majesty ordered his subordinates to tell Niangniang that Xixi was doing well with His Majesty! ”
When Wang Jun heard this, a little doubt in his heart disappeared immediately, Xixi's matter was only known to her cronies, and outsiders had absolutely no way to know, since the person who came mentioned Xixi, there was absolutely no suspicion. Immediately couldn't help but tear his eyes, nodded and said; "Let's go!" Tong Lei responded, and immediately led his subordinates to leave the palace with the two of them in their arms. He quickly returned to the palace gate and joined up with another group of people. Wang Jun couldn't help but be jealous when he saw that there was a in the other team, but she was very charming. Wang Jun had never met with Ya Yu Guanyin's mother, although he had heard of it, but he couldn't help but come when he saw it at this time, and thought that the other party was the same as himself, and he was also Yang Peng's woman.
At this moment, the killing sound on the side of Banzai Mountain became more intense. Both women couldn't help but look frightened. At this moment, a guy who looked like a general led hundreds of people from the palace, shouting as he ran: "Stop, the people in front!" ……”
When the two women saw that a pursuer was coming, they couldn't help but be even more flustered, and looked at Tong Lei together.
Tong Lei immediately ordered one of the people beside him: "Send a signal immediately!" The latter agreed, and immediately fired a signal rocket into the sky with a bow and arrow. Tong Lei hurriedly said to the two women: "The two ladies hurry up, and I will handle the rest of the matter!" Without waiting for the two girls to answer, a large group of men hugged her and left. Tong Lei raised his broadsword and shouted at the pursuers. In an instant, hundreds of people were slaughtered, swords and swords, and flesh and blood flew sideways. At this moment, there were also exclamations and shouts from the city, and at the same time, countless fires sprung up from the city, raging on all sides, and in an instant, they became the momentum of the sky! The palace was not spared, and the huge flames boiled over the walls, and the scene was very amazing!
The general, who was fighting with Tong Lei, couldn't help but panic when he saw the fire breaking out behind the palace. Tong Lei and the others took advantage of this opportunity to break away from the battle and quickly ran out of the palace. Seeing that the fire in the harem was getting stronger and stronger, the palace general shouted in surprise, and he didn't care about chasing and killing the enemy, so he hurriedly led his men to put out the fire.
At this time, the flames were boiling everywhere in the entire Shangjing City, and the people were shouting and fighting the fire, and there was chaos with the cries of women, girls and children. At the foot of Long Live Mountain, the Liao army surrounded nearly a thousand black-clothed people who attacked the holy car, and saw that they were about to be captured, but they did not expect that there would be a sudden change in the city, and the fire was raging everywhere. The soldiers of the Liao army couldn't help but panic, and the black-clothed men who were surrounded took the opportunity to break through and escape from Shengtian with a bloody way. Seeing this, he was furious and immediately pursued with his army.
The entire Shangjing City was in turmoil for a whole day, and it gradually calmed down at dusk. I saw black smoke billowing from all over the city, and the smell of burnt paste filled everyone's nostrils. The cries and shouts came and went, making the atmosphere doubly bleak. Yehu Hugo was furious in the palace hall, and the minister of civil and military affairs knelt on the ground, trembling.
After all, what happened next, and listen to the next breakdown.
