Chapter 80: Unbelief
If something really happened between His Majesty and the Zhendong Army, then Huang Feihu, who was incognito in the Zhendong Army, would not be lucky.
Is it because General Huang thinks of his eldest son who doesn't know life and death that he is so silent?
Bi Gan, who knew the inside story, thought silently, walked up to Huang Gon's side, and indifferently looked at the Chenghou army below who was purging the military formation, and saw the middle-aged man who was tired and miserable and covered in wounds, and saw the ...... who was still holding a fancy handkerchief and pretending to wipe his tears Brother Wang.
You're still so hypocritical.
I'm older, and I don't even bother to cover it up.
No wonder my father changed his mind, maybe he had already seen through your face.
Bigan thought lightly.
Tiger General Huang Gon sensed Bigan's arrival, and greeted Bigan silently, and Bigan bowed meticulously in return, as standard as when he took the kid to receive the first sight of Wu Zhiqi, as if measured by an invisible ruler.
The atmosphere in the room was still solemn.
Cui Ping, the commander of the bloody wave battalion of the Zhendong Army, was willing to take a strange risk and took a small boat alone to bring the will of the dead Emperor Xin, so perseverance and courage that he had won the awe of many soldiers from the bottom of their hearts.
However, among the courtiers, the two closest to His Majesty are His Majesty's uncle and Huang Guifei's biological father.
Why did the two of them have no intention of receiving the order?
Don't they trust Lvshuai Cui who has great achievements in battle and white scars all over his body, and looks like Lvshuai Cui who has been soaked in salty sea water for a long time?
"Brigade-Shuai Cui, please speak. ”
Bigan's indifferent voice sounded at the head of Chaoge City, although he was unable to do so, but perhaps because of the west wind, his voice clearly reached the ears of the soldiers under the city.
Why should I speak? Shouldn't it be a receiving?
Why are you still standing, shouldn't you kneel?
Cui Ping raised his eyes tiredly and looked at the head of Chaoge City, and said in a rough voice:
"Your Majesty has a will, and it is better for Yaxiang and General Huang to kneel down and receive the order. ”
Without waiting for Huang Gon to speak, Bigan said calmly:
"My big business has always been open to the people, why are there so many cumbersome rules to bow down, and it's not ...... The customs of Dongyi thieves, who will show them to the slave face?"
"When Your Majesty is in front of you, General Huang and I still have a reason not to worship, if Your Majesty really dies, Bigan will personally ask Your Majesty for guilt after his death. ”
When he said "Dongyi thief", Bigan squinted his eyes and looked at Chenghou and Cui Ping coldly.
The soldiers of the city were in an uproar, they didn't expect Lord Yaxiang, who had always been extremely observant of etiquette, to say such a thing, but they felt that what the lord said was very reasonable.
Our big businessmen are not like Dongyi's side, when they see high-ranking officials and Houlu, they have to kowtow and kneel, if the soldiers in our army have made military merits, they don't have to give way when they see the commander's carriage and horses, and even the commanders have to make way for us!
Chenghou, who had not spoken all the time, sighed with some regret, waved his hand and signaled Cui Ping to stop the stalemate and start preaching directly.
Cui Ping bowed his head slightly, and took out a small seal from his arms, which was the imperial seal of the king of Shang.
The noise under the city became more pronounced, and Huang Gon, who was standing at the head of the city, stared at his calloused hands very carefully.
Bigan just squinted his eyes and didn't speak.
Cui Ping's hoarse voice was tired and painful, and he said:
"I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to return to Chaoge today, after Cui Ping Aiqing returned to the east coast, he immediately looked for Chenghou and asked him to lead the army to Chaoge to sit in the town to prevent ...... The villain has bad intentions and tries to steal the national honor. ”
When he said this, Cui Ping deliberately raised his head that had been hanging low, and glanced at Bigan and Huang Gon who were standing at the head of the city.
Bigan felt ridiculous in his heart, and didn't bother to explain anything, just squinted, but Huang Gon's face was a little pale, but Yaxiang hadn't made a sound yet, so he naturally didn't speak first.
"I have no heirs, and I have not yet set up a prince, so in the future, I will set up my younger brother Jizi as the king of Shang, and ask Chenghou to be the regent and supervise the country, and assist Jizi to govern the country until Jizi is an adult. ”
After Cui Ping shut up, he lowered his head again.
It's just that no one can see it, and the corners of his mouth are slightly curled, and there is a hint of incomprehensible smile.
Chenghou listened very carefully when Cui Ping announced the decree just now, and after hearing the word "Qin this", he sighed, as if he was about to cry again:
"Di Xin cares about state affairs, even if he is in a desperate situation, he does not forget to arrange national affairs, when he is really the master, uncle, I am so heartbroken!"
After finishing speaking, he took out the flower handkerchief that did not match the serious and heavy atmosphere under the song city today, and wiped it from the corner of his eyes.
Bigan, who was dressed in luxurious black, had been looking indifferently at Chaoge Chengxia, watching coldly as if he was watching a clumsy drama, no matter how much the clown scratched his head and gestured, he couldn't make his cold face at the moment have a trace of warmth.
The city and the city were silent, only Chenghou was alone on the chariot and wiped his tears.
Chenghou saw that Bigan ignored him, and the dry sobs gradually lowered, he irritablely stuffed the handkerchief into his pocket, straightened his clothes casually, raised his head and looked at Chao Gechengtou with his hands on his waist and asked:
"Brother Wang, the will of the first king has been heard, why don't you obey the decree and open the gate of Chaoge City for Brother Wang?"
When Zishou had not yet ascended the throne, under the arrangement of Emperor Yi, although Bigan had begun to learn how to deal with state affairs, he did not give people too much feeling of high power, and he looked like an amiable and amiable young man, and his handsome face, which was somewhat similar to Zishou, often had an amiable smile on his face.
I don't know where to start, the smile on his face gradually decreased, the gray hair gradually increased, and he gradually became majestic and indifferent.
Maybe it started with a snowstorm five years ago?
That night, the second butler, who was very trusted, stood in the corner behind him and stabbed him in the back with a cruel knife.
If it weren't for the fact that Mr. Wu had cultivated some Xuan Vortex Divine Water in his body after renewing his meridians, even Mr. Wu's cultivation in the Land Immortal Realm might not have been able to get his life back.
Later, Mr. Wu carried himself to Zhuhuang Palace, and after breaking the palace gate, he saw 3,000 soldiers of the forbidden army who turned against each other, as well as two people who would be seen at the court meeting every day.
They are all good businessmen.
But under the bewitchment of those two, he raised Changge, who was supposed to be facing the enemy, to their majesty and queen.
How similar it is today.
Bigan, who had trusted little of the others since that day, knew that the aftermath of the night was not over, and that for five years he had become more and more diligent in his administration, hoping only to find the signs of rebellion before they could be strangled in the cradle.
He unfortunately failed.
Because the opponent is his royal brother.
The half-marquis, who has never met a few times since he was a child, but has heard of many of his deeds.
And the 500,000 soldiers under the city of Chaoge, under his leadership, surrounded the city and wanted to break through the capital of their own country.
What a pity, how hateful.
The walls of Chaoge City are inscribed with many formations, and there is a Xuanniao totem exuding a faint warmth, even in winter, this huge bluestone is not so cold, and even a little warm.
Bigan gently stroked the bluestone, and heard Chenghou's ask:
"Why haven't you opened the gates?"
Bigan spoke softly, and Huang Gon personally helped him amplify his voice at this time.
"Because I don't believe it. ”
The cold wind ruffled Bigan's erected mink collar, and the black fluff brushed his cheeks, pale from the cold.
His expression was so cold and disdainful.
As he opened his mouth indifferently, the temperature in Chaoge City seemed to drop by a few degrees.
The story is good, but I don't believe it.
When the king was about to die, the faithful courtiers were entrusted by His Majesty to return to the country across the distant and angry seas, find the ministers entrusted by the king, and come to the capital with him to carry out the king's will.
The king is noble, and the courtiers are faithful.
But stories can be made up, imperial seals can be stolen, and you've rebelled anyway, what else can't you do?
So I won't look at the seal that must be very similar to the real thing, or even the imperial seal carved by the same craftsman, and I won't believe you.
Therefore the gates of the city of Chaoge will not be opened for you.
"These alone cannot win the trust of the people of the world, let alone me. ”
"You said that Your Majesty has died, either you invite Your Majesty to come out of the immortal body, or you disperse the army outside the city, otherwise I won't believe it. ”
"You can order your soldiers to come to the castle, but you are not qualified to order them to face their country and city. ”
Bigan didn't look at Chenghou from beginning to end, but just looked at the many soldiers under the city, looking at their blank and sad faces.
"Alas, brother Wang, brother, I wanted to give you a chance, just open the city gate and confess your sins, why do you have to make such a fuss?"
"The person who colluded with the Dongyi people and betrayed the Zhendong Army is you......, right? than dry. ”
"At this time, I didn't open the city gate, and when I saw His Majesty's imperial seal, I didn't accept the order, and I still had to ...... Evil words confuse the public, and bewitch my subordinates. ”
"It's shameless. ”
Chenghou shook his head and looked at the head of Chaoge Castle with mockery and contempt.
The city was silent, and the soldiers' minds went blank when they heard the words blurted out by Chenghou.
Cui Ping raised his head and pointed to the head of the city, his tired face was upright, and he actually had some sacred meaning, his voice was firm and fearless, and his tone was sonorous and powerful, like a brave and determined martyr.
"Yabigan and the tiger general Huang Gon colluded with Dongyi to frame Your Majesty in danger, and Your Majesty gave Cheng Hou a secret decree to kill the traitors Bigan and Huang Gon to sacrifice the souls of the soldiers of the Eastern Army. ”
Like a sparkling flame falling, igniting the parched grassland.
The already loose military spirit under the city finally reunited, and many soldiers looked at the two people on the city with angry eyes, and clenched the bronze Changge in their hands.
"You and I are both the sons of my father, and I didn't become the king of Shang, do you think it's a pity in your heart?"
"But Brother Wang, why did you use such shameless means to harm you and my good nephew?"
Chenghou's face, which had a unique charm because of the vicissitudes of life, was overflowing with sadness, and he issued a final question.
