Chapter 1402: Resist to the End
The two were intimate for a while, and someone immediately came in to report.
Yuanyou had no choice but to let go of her and let her out to deal with things.
It turned out that after the empress let all the courtiers go back, some courtiers wanted to go out of the city quietly, and some sent people to send letters to Yang Lian.
"Very good, if there is any abnormality, it is good to take care of it." The Queen's Road.
"Your Majesty, Sun Cong sent news that he suddenly contracted a strange illness on the way back, and now he is on the road and cannot arrive for the time being." Cuckoo Road.
"......" She had long expected that Sun Cong was a two-faced person, and she would probably have to act according to the situation at that time.
The empress's wedding should have been a happy event in the world.
In Tianfu City, martial law was still under martial law, and for a while, even the people felt that something big was going to happen.
Within a few days, Yang Lian announced in Gyeongju that he would revolt in Gyeongju in the name of the head of the face and the side of the Qing monarch. Yang Lian was originally a civil and military minister, and he wrote an essay of more than 1,000 words, saying that the empress favored the male favorite, punished the loyal ministers, and defiled the harem.
And he actually had a complete testament of the four ministers of the first emperor in his hand, he said that the empress was greedy for power and killed the prince, and he, as an old minister, was ordered by the first emperor to set things right.
When Du Juan got this article and showed it to Li Pianhong, she couldn't help laughing.
"I didn't expect Yang Lian to have this hand!" Yuanyou said after reading it.
"The will in his hand should be fake, but the content is true. He remembers the whole text, and it's really not difficult to make one. She said.
"He is justified in this way, and he will not be accused of rebellion." Yuan You said, "Next, it depends on who you are in the court, whether they are people or ghosts!" ”
Yes!
After that, there will be a fight!
Gyeongju is only a few dozen miles away from Tianfu, and Yang Lian will soon be in the city.
A few days later, it was reported that Yang Lian's two nephews began to occupy Bazhou, Guanghan and other places. Yang Lian's intentions are obvious, he wants to encircle Tianfu through these places.
Everyone knows that the Yang family controls the military power, the Yang family army can fight well, and half of the rivers and mountains in Xishu were fought by the Yang family in the past.
Now that the Yang family is rebellious, the people in the court are panicking, so some courtiers proposed to ask the empress to issue an edict, kill Akan, bury Yang Shiming, and calm Yang Lian's anger first.
The empress naturally refused, not only that, but she also scolded the ministers in the court.
After waiting for the court, Dong Ji immediately came to ask to see the emperor.
"Your Majesty, the Yang family has been loyal and good for generations, if it weren't for the deaths of Yang Shizhao and Yang Shiming's brothers, Yang Lao Xiangguo would not have rebelled. Your Majesty, how can personal life and death be as important as the country? Dong Ji said.
Li Pianhong looked at Dong Ji deeply, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was inexplicable.
"Dong Ji, on the day of the wedding, Yang Shiming led the troops to persecute me, as a king, should I really compromise?"
"......" Dong Ji said, as a king, he was forced by his courtiers, and he would indeed be aggrieved! But the Yang family is powerful, and it has always been like this.
"I ask you again, do you know about the edict of the first emperor that Yang Lian said?" The Empress asked again.
"......" Dong Ji certainly knows.
"The first emperor divided the will into four parts, and your Dong family also has a copy in your hand, but you still have your share?" The Empress asked again.
Dong Jihui "still ......"
"Do you think that one day you will use that will to hold me hostage?"
"Absolutely not." Dong Ji hurriedly said, "But after the emperor favored Akan, his temperament really changed greatly!" ”
"You are the ones who forced me to accept the prince's husband, and I accepted the prince's husband, and it is you who say that my temperament has changed greatly!" The empress sneered, "You are just trying to manipulate me, and if I don't listen, you will come to rebel." ”
"The minister never thought of opposing the emperor! Your Majesty, I don't want to argue about these now, now that Yang Lian has come to the city, it is most important to solve the current crisis. Dong Ji said.
"Yang Lian has been thinking about the Li family for a long time, so it depends on whether he has the ability to take it! It is impossible to kill the prince and sue for peace with him! Li Pianhong said.
"The emperor ......" The emperor was so confident, Yang Lian transferred soldiers and horses from other places in addition to the original 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hand. And the emperor only has city guards, and Sun Cong has soldiers and horses in his hands, but he refuses to come.
Sun Cong has received Yang Lian's kindness, maybe he will take refuge in Yang Lian now!
The emperor doesn't know how dangerous his current situation is!
"Needless to say, you step aside!" The Empress raised her hand.
Within a few days, news came that Yang Lian was outside Tianfu City with a large army, and he came under the name of Qingjun's side, claiming to lead an army of 200,000 to attack the city.
The day after he was stationed outside the city of Tianfu, he sent a messenger.
In his letter, he asked the empress to wear plain clothes, write an edict with her own hand, and present Akan's head and open the city gate to let him enter the city.
As soon as this letter was read, the DPRK and China were in an uproar!
Many courtiers in the court believe that this disaster is the empress's favor for Akan, as long as the empress kills the emperor and then goes to ask Yang Lian for guilt, Yang Lian will still forgive the emperor, and this war will naturally be eliminated!
So all the ministers entered the palace and asked the emperor to kill Akan to appease Yang Lian's anger.
"Akan is not in the palace now!" The Queen's Road.
"Your Majesty, did Akan escape?" Dong Ji was surprised.
"Akan said that Yang Lian's rebellion was more or less caused by him, and he was willing to personally garrison the southern city gate to resist the rebels." Li Pianhong said.
"......," Dong Ji said, and then said, "Since he knows that this disaster is caused by him, he should kill himself to comfort the world." ”
Hearing this, Li Pianhong got up from the dragon chair and looked at the ministers.
"The Yang family is powerful, Yang Shizhao often enters and leaves the palace with weapons, and Yang Shiming even leads troops to threaten me. When the first emperor was there, he said that the Yang family is so powerful that I should be careful, and one day he will rebel! Yang Lian is against me, it's not that I don't accept the prince at all, but that I don't act as the Yang family wants, and he wants to oppose me! ”
After Li Pianhong finished speaking, he glanced at the ministers, "Actually, you all know this, you will let me kill my prince, instead of trying to fight the enemy like Wangfu, but because you are timid and afraid!" You have no heart to meet the enemy, only to surrender and compromise. ”
"It's no wonder that for so many years, the imperial brother and I have worked hard to make great efforts, and it is difficult to achieve great things, it turns out that my courtiers are all timid and afraid of things."
After she finished speaking, she sneered.
Dong Ji and the others were all red-faced and lowered their heads!
"If the government is in danger today, my life is also in danger, but I am not at the mercy of traitors. I have decided to resist the enemy to the end, and if the Qing family is willing to follow me, they can stay, and if they do not want to follow, they can leave. Even if I follow Yang Lian, I will also open the city gate and let him out. ”
As soon as the empress's words came out, all the courtiers were in an uproar!
The empress put her hands behind her back, her face expressionless, glanced at the ministers, and sat back on the dragon chair.
The ministers looked up at the empress, and after a while, some courtiers saluted and left!
There is one, there is a second, and naturally more than half of it has retreated.
In the end, only Dong Ji and a few courtiers who were promoted by the empress remained.
"If the emperor decides to resist the enemy to the end, the ministers will never succumb to it, and advance and retreat with the empress!" Dong Ji said immediately.
